EN-X's PAGE!
Amos and I. We seldom get to take photos together so this is one of the nice photos we have!
The guy... I can't remember his name... But he's the drunk one from the next table who was hitting on Astrid big time, and he stuck his head in for this photo, so no choice... O_O
I know I look constipated here. Don't need to tell me.
Astrid is so scarily fair. Anyways, I had to get more photos with her because she was returning to Indonesia... which she already has... but she's currently back here for holidays... HAHA funny.
Gilbert Nogales! He's the awesome drummer at Boiler Room... and my band's session drummer says he awesome too... he's like, the winner of Drum competition for 2 years in a row. Awesome. I get so painfully humbled when I meet such experienced and talented musicians... Gilbert is Pinoy and he's been in Singapore for 20 years.
I think these 2 photos aren't ugly... And I hope Morgan doesn't call me up again and scold me. HAHAHAHAAAA.
In case you're wondering, this was the fateful night that I somehow managed to tear my big toe nail in half after being so totally high and dancing on the high chair... which wasn't very stable... and my clouded judgement basically brought upon the physical pain. HAHAHA. So retarded.
Ok, I'd wanted to blog and show you photos of the nonsense I'd been up to prior to the tragedy... I've shrunken the photos so its a waste not to put it up! But anyways, because I've been such an airhead, I left the adaptor for my 1TB external hard disk somewhere... so now its just sitting on my table being useless. I'M SUCH AN IDIOT!!!!!!! Garrrrr. ALL my photos are in there because I haven't wanted to transfer the photos onto my laptop and burden it again...
I suddenly feel totally inspired to finish all my school assignments at one shot... and I have to call up people who owe me my pay... and I have to work on a few advertorials that have been put on hold due to the tragedy... and those 5 playlists...
I've been dying to get this A1 song! Anyone has it? I don't care if you don't like but I'm a crazed A1 fan so I love the damn song anyways!!!! Besides, its so radio friendly... its hard not to like it!!!
OH YES YES YES. ANNOUNCEMENT! My band EN-X's album has FINALLY BEEN RELEASED!!! Who hasn't ordered a copy and wants a copy??? Send me an email at vanessa.vtay@gmail.com to secure your copy!! Hurry grab it before its gone! For people who have reserved their copies, please send me an email or an SMS (if you have my mobile no.) and I'll arrange to pass you the CDs... Ok ok ok? (=
Alright I'm gonna go find food now... I've more or less finished up anything edible in my house because I'm such a monster... Haha.
I'm finally sitting down to do this. I guess this is the start of everything else... just to get the ball rolling.
The past 2 weeks have been pretty hard on my family, and we are VERY thankful for all those who were around to offer their support...
Personally, I'm eternally grateful to my Mom's siblings (Aunt Daisy and Uncle Bob) for all their help and support they offered my Mom all the way from the time my Dad was in hospital until the end of my Dad's funeral. They were the only relatives who were truly helpful in all areas and I'm deeply touched by them.
Also, I'm really thankful to all the girls from my Dad's soccer team, especially the senior girls. They were always around to provide my Dad with moral support while he was in coma, and they took great care of my sis while at the hospital and at the wake... and they were also very helpful to my Mom, helping her to sover all reflective surfaces around the house right after my Dad passed on... and helping out with whatever physical chores my Mom needed to be done. They were always around for my family, and for that, I am very much grateful to them for all their help and their fierce loyalty to my Dad.
To my dearest friends who were around at the moment my Dad left us... Min, Bryan, Buddy Priss, Rubez, Morgan, Alvin, April, Ben, Samuel (especially you Sam, cuz you only just joined EN-X and we weren't close before this, but you still always came to see me at the hospital and at the wake to offer support as my new big bro in the band) and Xiang... THANK YOU all for being there at my lowest moment... Thank you all for being there to hug me and comfort me while I was hiding away in a corner and trying hard not to fall apart into a million pieces... Amos, Kumar and PeiQi left earlier cuz they had something to attend to early next morning, but thanks for the chocolates (=
I'm eternally grateful to Min for all the help she provided me with... helping me buy the MANY meals from strange places to satiate my cravings and my monsterous appetite... also for dragging her laptop around so I could use it (I was still laptopless at that time) for work or for entertainment... for putting up with her Mom's nagging because she spent so much time with me... for always being there for me throughout the entire duration of my family's ordeal... from the hospital to the wake... helping me bling my namecard holders cuz I was half-blind... and also for skipping class to be with me... really, for everything you've done for me, Min, THANK YOU so much... I don't know what else to say, but I hope you know that I'll always also be here for you and you can totally count on me for anything in future... I promise I'll help you to my best abilities like you did for me. Really glad I found you in SC those years ago!!! Please help me thank your Dad for being so understanding and helping you to help me buy stuff... =P
To Bryan, thanks for being there with me at the hospital and dropping by as and when you could afford the time to... And also for staying with me on both nights during my graveyard shift at my Dad's wake, helping me chase cats... Haha... Sorry to have tired you out so thoroughly... But really, thanks for helping me buy coffee and eyedrops and for staying with me throughout the entire time...
To Buddy and Wendy, thanks for taking time out of your weekend to come and spend time with me... and for buying me food and drinks and hand cream... haha... thanks Buddy, for charging outta your house in the middle of the night without any make up on just to rush to my side when my Dad was about to go.... Buddy, please help me thank your parents for being so kind to me too yea?
Xiang, we stopped talking for awhile cuz we were both very busy and absorbed in our lives, but I'm glad that we've started talking again and its like nothing's changed and we were never apart at all... Feels like its back to sec school days again, but kinda better... I'm really thankful that you're still here for me after so long, for staying out so late (you never did so before!) so you could be with me at the hospital, and also for staying and being with me during my graveyard shift on the 2nd night and skipping school the following day... Thank you so damn much... I'm also glad I found you in SC!! Please also help me thank your Mom for all the help she provided for me and my Mom... (=
To Mana, thank you for dropping by on both days of the wake... and for being late for class on the final day to be with me when my Dad made his final journey... really deeply thankful for that... I'm sorry I didn't manage to spend more time with you, but please know that your presence was really appreciated. I'm glad we're still in touch all the way since our pri 6 days...!!
To La-chan, sorry that your Mom yelled at you for coming to attend my Dad's wake, but thanks for fighting that out with her to be there for me... I'm really thankful for that and I really appreciate it... Hope you had a fruitful conversation with my Grandpa! I know he enjoyed chatting with you... He's always looking for someone who would listen to what he has to share, and I'm thankful that you were willing to listen! Thanks also, for the chicken essense and the Kinder Bueno...
To Diana, Claudia and Kris, thanks for showing up at the wake... I was really surprised that you guys took the time out from your busy schedules to come... so thanks a whole bunch... (=
To Morgan, Amos and Kumar, thanks for being so "hardcore" and coming to see me at the wake every afternoon... and even skipping a class or 2 for me... thanks thanks thanks...!!! You guys kick ass. Yes Morgan, you are the man... everybody loves Morgan... Yes yes. Haha.
To Justin, Royce, Chi Yuan, Sherwin, Hua, Beverly, Gayne, Charmaine, Ying Min, Jayce, Sandy, Mervyn, Alvin, Ben, Samuel, April, Astrid, Neek, Melinda, Louis, Myren... THANK YOU ALL for taking time out to drop by, some of you more than just once... thanks so much...
To Rubez, Buddy and Wendy, thanks for taking care of admin matters at school... Making arrangements with the office and lecturers and all regarding the excuse of my absence at school...
To Mrs Quek and Mrs Eng, the 2 teachers who made a difference to me earlier in my life, thank you so much for coming too... You didn't have to, but you did, and that made even more difference to me... so, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
To Cher and Jess, thank you both for calling and SMSing me daily from Melbourne and Sydney respectively... thanks for checking up on me throughout the day to see if I'm alright... I really appreciate that you did your best to be there for me although you both are pretty darn far away from me physically... (=
B, thank you for all your guidance and for being my emotional support for the "aftermath"... You don't know how bloody thankful I am to have you around... I'd be so lost and flustered if I was handling all of these alone... And I really hope to have you around for a long time to come...
To my ex and current lecturers Piya and Angelyn, thank you for all your help and understanding and for granting me an extension on my assignment... Especially to Piya who helped me communicate with Angelyn... You're not lecturing me this term so you didn't have to help, but you did anyways, and I'm really really really thankful for that!
To Serene, Felix and the STOMP team... thanks for the flowers... and thanks Felix and Vims for allowing my absence from StarBlog chat that week...
Thanks also to those who couldn't make it for the wake because they were overseas... Thanks for your SMSes and Facebook messages... and thanks to all those who wrote on my blog's shoutbox, on my STOMP StarBlog comment box, and on my Facebook walls... thank you all for your kind words.
I don't think I've ever really felt eternally thankful to anyone before, so this entry might sound a bit unbelievable, but really, all these words are heartfelt and I'm someone who means what I say... Its horribly difficult to get good words out of me cuz I don't like to give them out unless the other party truly deserves it... So I really hope that whoever is reading this... If I've mentioned you, please accept my heartfelt gratitude. I'm sorry but there is only this much that words can express... If I could make you feel how thankful I am that I have you in my life, believe me, I would go to all lengths to do so. But meanwhile, just know that I'm really thankful and blessed to have you (ALL OF YOU!) in my life... and I'll never trade any one of you off for anything else.
If I've missed anyone out, please don't get angry... Blame my head, not my heart. Everything's been quite a blur for the past 2 weeks, so I might have missed some things out in the process, so please forgive me I missed you out!!
To people who pissed me (or my family) off so thoroughly during that low point in my life, FUCK YOU and please don't show up in front of me (or my family) ever again. May bad karma hit you in all directions, asshole(s).
To my closest friends... you know who you are... THANK YOU all for being with me during (possibly) the lowest point of my life so far... LOVE YOU ALL DEEP DEEP!!!
