every day i wake up, and i try, and i strive, to be this
SUPER HAPPY GIRL
you'll never know me
but you may know my name
carrie yeo.
Is a walking contradiction.
Happy-go-lucky yet emotional.
Over-confident yet suffers from inferiority complex.
Love to sing yet afraid of the stage.
Always hopeful about the future but always living in the present.
Adventurous in bigger life experiences like joining Project Superstar but very cowardly in trivial thrills like monkey bars.
Always fighting with herself in the mind like there are 5 Carrie's in there.
Blogging is a way to straighten out thoughts for her.
Blogging is a way for her to leave clues for herself,
so that in ten years time,
Carrie might start to understand herself better....

weddings weddings (Friday, June 13, 2008 / 10:49 AM)
I love weddings. Infact i tot about being a wedding planner! Coz isn't it the most happy, fulfilling job to bring happiness to people? And what is the one moment when people are happiest?When 2 people in love get married.
This month, I have 3 friends who got married! In fact if you count from 24th may to 24th june, then there were 4 weddings. But I enjoyed all of them!And there are more to come for the year 2008! aiyoh, is it like a super auspicious year? I 包红包 until i'm broke liao! hehe! 破财是小事啦！because...
Love is beautiful.
hehe, anyway here are some nice pictures!
This is the 1st of 4 weddings - my cousin Seow Tian's wedding!
This is my vicious bitch look! hahaha... scared??
My sis was sooo chio that night!!!
Do we look alike?? More and more people say we look alike. There was once when someone asked if we were twins!
We all dolled up for me couzzie~
Then I attended another fren's wedding.... This time a church wedding.

The part where the groom kisses the bride! possibly the best part! so sweet~

Charity Concert (Saturday, June 7, 2008 / 11:45 AM)
Today was such an exciting day.... fruitful!
As you know, I have been having sleeping problems. For the past 3-4 weeks, I've been sleeping late and waking up super late. As in like 2pm. But this morning, I woke up at 9 plus am! WOO! Well, i din wake up myself. My parents ngiao ngiao ngiao until I cannot tahan. Then we went for breakfast - super yummy, my all time favourite duck rice stall. WOO!
Then I drove back to Singapore to attend a dear friend's church wedding. She's a Mediacorp colleague. Usually she's behind the cameras. You know those video clips online about Superstar? And some trailers? Those were done by her. But today, she's the STAR! She was stunningly, naturally beautiful and full of charm. Well, usually she's already beautiful, but today, she was glowing. cos she's oozing with happiness.
Then I had lunch at Aston's and it was oh so yummy~ eating yummy food makes my day oh-so-fulfilling. hehe.
After which, I went down to a pub along neil rd to support those PSSers and CSSers in a Charity concert to help Sichuan victim. Jasmine Tye started the night with a rock number - Sweet Child of Mine (by Guns and Roses). She's a powerhouse la. woo~ One by one, everyone went on stage and did their thing! I was impressed man... I havent seen these people for so long and everyone improved! Like magdalene, I was impressed by her acoustic rendition of "Time after Time". Like Elaine, as usual, I love her voice and I like her 傻瓜. Jeremy's (Kwan) 1st line of "Right Here Waiting" already stunned me. It was soooo good. His voice was crisp and yet full of character. Aiyoh, soooo many. Hard to pin point or comment on everyone la.
And then something else happened. *blush*
There was this man. He told the organizers that if they could get me to sing a song, he would donate $500 in cash, on the spot. Woo~ So frantically, I searched my ipod touch for MMOs (music minus one) and found "Beautiful Love" which I thought suited the occasion also. Woo~ Thankfully, the system there could play from my Ipod.
I was totally unprepared la! (as you can see in the pic below, I was lok kok and not dressed up for stage) I felt that I cannot suck! Coz this guy is paying $500 to hear me sing! So I quickly went outside and practised a few times and then I went on stage le! Luckily everything went well la. I hope I din disappoint that kind man. Hee...
I'm truly flattered by this man's gesture. And it totally made my day! *blush* Thank you Mr Lee. You are very kind. and... Thanks for appreciating my voice. I hope it made your day too~
Eventful.
And then there was more. Uh Hum! I went for a meeting. There's a secret project that's going on. hehe. Something exciting is gonna happen in.... August!
You must have heard of the phrase "Ignorance is bliss"?
I don't agree.
You know the thing about being an adult is.... ignorance is no longer a bliss. Ignorance is a sin. As a child, our parents act as our shield. We do not know how much the electricity bills cost. We do not know the politics in offices and the stress of working life. We do not know that there are evil people in this world. We lived in lala land and in total bliss. Well, yah, exams were tough. But seriously, is it even half as tough as the real world?
Ok so real world is tough, but why is Ignorance a sin?
Responsibility - that is the expectation of being an adult, isn't it? You are officially a mature adult when you know, understand and carry out your responsibilities. When you are a kid, you are usually forgiven of your mistakes. But when you are an adult, you are expected to do the right thing. And in order to do the right things, you need to KNOW things. You need to KNOW what are your responsibilities, your roles and your tasks in life. If you refuse to grow up, refuse to KNOW what is expected of you, then you might become a burden to people around you.
Say, for example, a father loses his job. His 8 yr old child will know nothing about it. The 8 yr old can continue playing with his lego like nothing has happened. We look at the kid and say "sigh, ignorance is bliss". He does not know, hence he does not feel the pain. But the mother on the other hand, is an adult. If father does not tell mother, mother suspects but wants to avoid the problem, then do you think that mother is in the wrong? By not knowing, mother becomes a burden to father. If she knew, she could then be a help. Simple equation.
There's such a huge difference between a child and an adult.
I wanna be a child!!!! But there's no escaping..... We all have to grow up.
(PS: this post is really random. No special meaning. I just can't sleep and so I just let my thoughts ramble on...)
