The Damned World

Fairytale never exists..

Alright i know the blogger video function is quite crap.. Or perhaps i should just be honest, it is rubbish. So here is a proper video in HD of the Alice music video from youtube.







Apart from that, here is another video from the scenes of the world premiere of the movie at London where all the cast were present.








Unfortunately, the movie will be launched in Singapore on 3rd March. It is in the midst of my prelims.

Dratz.

That means I can only catch it after my last paper which is on the 12 of March.
Hope it will be a good one though =)

Avril has a new song and it is for Disney!!

Quote from her "

Alice

From Avril Lavigne

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to check in and share a bit of what's going on with me right now. I am so excited! I feel very lucky to be a part of Tim Burton's new film Alice In Wonderland.

It all started off with me designing an Abbey Dawn/Alice In Wonderland collaboration for my fashion line at Kohls. I was working at the Disney offices going though graphic images from the movie for my designs and getting up to speed on the movie project. I was really inspired and excited about the film at that moment, so I asked Disney if they would like me to write the theme song for the film. They went back to Tim and he said yeah give it a go.

I was so excited when I got the news! I sat down on my piano immediately and wrote the song. I wanted to come up with something a little on the moodier side to fit his film. I think the piano adds a cool dramatic element to the song.

I met with Tim Burton and he played me some clips from his film. I finished the song and he really liked it and said he wanted to put it in the film as the first end credit song. OMG soooo cool! Hehe. Disney also wanted to use it as there marketing song around the film and so I shot a music video. So fun!!!!!

Working on this project was such a treat! It was such a great experience and Tim Burton was an absolute pleasure. He is very smart. I am so grateful for this opportunity...and can't wait to see the whole film!!!!

Love,
Avril xo


Avril and Disney. For these reasons, i will catch this movie definitely =)
Leaving you with Avril's music video for Alice in Wonderland.

Enjoy












Alice Lyrics

Trippin out
Spinning around
I'm underground
I fell down
Yeah I fell down

I'm freaking out, where am I now?
Upside down and I can't stop it now
Can't stop me now, oh oh

I, I'll get by
I, I'll survive
When the world's crashing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me
I, I won't cry

I found myself in Wonderland
Get back on my feet, on the ground
Is this real?
Is this pretend?
I'll take a stand until the end

I, I'll get by
I, I'll survive
When the world's crashing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me
I, I won't cry


I, I'll get by
I, I'll survive
When the world's crashing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me
I, and I won't cry

Chinese New Year came and left. This year's CNY wasn't exactly festive. In fact, ever since I gotten myself into this school, Chinese New Year has turned less of a festive celebration but more to a warning. Simply because after CNY, comes the "war".

Life is going to be miserable here on. When I said war, I meant prelims and finals. We all know the infamous difficulty of the UOL examinations. It is tough for a simple point; it weights 100% per paper. Meaning the finals determines if you pass, or fail. So if you aren't feeling well on that day or you are not at your best condition, you are screwed. In the event you fail, you have to repeat the whole damn entire year and pay your school fees, exam fees, go through the same books, see your same lecturers, etcetera.

In this school, constrained to the London semester, after CNY comes the prelims followed by revision classes by London lecturers as well as your local familiar ones. They will be going through your syllabus and comment on the prelims. After all of that, the horrific finals are next.

I know my exam time table already. It is going to be tough even before I get there. Because, unfortunately, I have a day with 2 papers squeezed together. One paper in the morning and another in the afternoon. And they are both very condensed modules. And another paper the following day. No breather. This is really depressing and taxing.

As so, CNY has really lost it's magic. Probably until the day I leave this school, CNY's magic isn't here.





All time favourite

Bought this at the school's bazaar for $1.60. It is quite nice for chocolate lovers :)

I haven't been active on my blog. Reason being that there was too many issues I need to handle. To my visitors, I am sorry for wasting your effort. But here is one..

Recently I gotten an important role in my team. I wasn’t really expecting my current role would come to me and this gave me a big pressure. I want to do a good job.

Therefore the things I do now are hopefully to bring the club to a greater level. Firstly, the school only recognizes results. That is just like what you would expect if you enter the practical and realistic work force. Thus we changed the team to full-fledged competitive. Else, nothing we request from the school would be approved and the club would be just a stagnant place for a group of people to gather and nothing further. No new toys, no nothing.

To progress, we have to shed blood, sweat and tears. I am all in for it. I will burst my brains and muscles for it. Of course there are resistors to changes, something we can find in one of the modules I having in school with the freaky thickest notes of all. In fact, it is similar or even thicker than the phone directory that Starhub sends me annually.

Okay, I am digressing.

Apart from that, there were administrations with the school, and management issues to do. All a sudden, I am not plainly just doing canoeing anymore. Naturally there were questions about the management issues also. But nothing can pleases anyone. As some would say, “Take it or leave it”.

We had a training camp early last month to prepare for a marathon. That was when I encountered my first knee injury. Subsequently I wasn’t able to perform in running exercises. That was when I knew this injury wasn’t simple and it would not recover easily like my past injuries. I am depressed. This meant I cannot run with the team. I had to sit somewhere and watch them enjoyed the sufferings while I suffered my enjoyments. Just yesterday, a fellow teammate, with the same injury, passed me a name card of a Chinese physician. I might be visiting if my budget allows.

Next up on my schedule would be nothing else but the exams. I am still partially attached to canoeing although I know it is critical for me to ground myself to solely revisions. I think the attachment was effective because of my heavy role.

Chinese New Year is just in a few days time but seriously it seems unimportant to me. The only thing that is anticipating is probably the small bonus :)
