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....

driving frees my mind
and so i tweet.


over coffee, we agree...
to disagree.


but there's always help
when you are looking.

Esplanade Show (Friday, January 30, 2009 / 10:57 PM)

Dear all,

If you are free tonight, I would like to invite you to bring your parents to Esplanade. Because I'll be singing 怀旧金曲. From 往事只能回味,千言万语 to 伤痕in the 90s. My parents will be coming too~ heh. And I bet everyone will find the songs familiar, not just our parents. =) If not, you learn something, coz these oldies are ever green, ever nice!

It will start at 8.30pm SHARP! At the Esplanade outdoor stage. There's no need to worry about the road closure due to chingay. If you are driving, just come by from shenton area. You could exit at CTE Havelock road, drive all the way straight until golden shoe, turn left to esplanade drive and turn left into car park. There's no jam what so ever because everyone thinks there's a jam and avoid the roads. heh.

Ok, hope to see you!

新年快乐! (Sunday, January 25, 2009 / 1:08 PM)

新年快乐!!!

2009到来的时候,我就很希望2009会改掉我在2008的霉运。结果2009比2008还烂!
真希望霉运是走农历的。那今天开始我就有希望转好运。哈哈!

希望大家都在牛年行好运!真的有时候做人,努力过了,就需要那一点的好运。希望大家能在牛年效仿牛大哥的默默耕耘,那加上好运,就能如愿以偿!因为“只有做好准备的人,才能迎接好运”。

大家,加油喔!

it's getting better! (Wednesday, January 21, 2009 / 9:44 AM)

YEAH!!! I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel...

For one, I've decided to delete people who are negative in my life. Some people just wants to bring trouble, consciously or unconsciously. So, good bye. I'm going to treat that our paths never crossed and you can live your life happily and I will live mine happily.

Secondly, we've found an owner for Ponyo! Oh, we've decided to name the dog we found Ponyo. Like the anime. HAHA! Sorry for the lack of creativity. Stan who left a comment on my blog, expressing his interest in keeping the dog. He left me his blog address. After reading his blog, I had a strong feeling that he'll be a super nice and caring owner to Ponyo! So we met up just now. From the 1st impression, I can tell the 2 of them are going to get along really well!! When we met up he already has plans about where he will keep Ponyo, and he wanted to bring ponyo to swim in the sea, etc. I was really touched by his love for dogs. And I was so emo that Ponyo will be in such good hands. Okok, maybe i 言之过早, too early to judge, but i believe they will live happily together. =) haha. Oh! and he stays in a strategic location for us to VISIT! yeah!

Thirdly, I went shopping today!!!! Shopped for CNY clothes! hah! I bought quite a few items. Retail therapy ROX!!! I feel so much cheerier after shopping. Of course, I had great company.... Thanks pf for shopping with me the whole day!

Ohhh, I had a great day! I'll sleep with a big smile tonight!

Countdown 2009 (Sunday, January 18, 2009 / 7:51 AM)

Countdown to 2009!

This is the 2nd time we did a countdown in vivocity. And it's just lovely. I love the skyline. I love the little water garden on the rooftop just next to the stage. If I had a boyfriend, I would go to the rooftop there, 好浪漫...



Did you know, why it never rained for mediacorp outdoor shows???



Haha, can you guess what they are?



I don't know how it works. But they are always there when there's an outdoor show. And they managed to keep the skies clear for us. =)



Diya had to get ready real early because she has another countdown show before the mdc one. So she was rushing like mad. She was so worried about a jam. Everyone tells her that it's very difficult for her to get back in time because there will surely be a jam. But hey, it was clear road every where man. haha!



These pretty things are what makes us pretty... haha.



Here's Diya with Keely and Ivy for 宇宙小姐. I thought D was really cool and seh~ like ella? haha. Then keely must have been selina and Ivy was hebe. correct? haha... but of cos, they are not SHE! they are themselves!



Another group of SHE! haha. Hmm... D still E? Teresa so sweet, so she's gotta be selina. Then I'm Hebe lo!



picture picture~! After our performance, we were just cam whoring all the way. ha!



Pat mok is hilarious! She's crazily fun!!!



I havent seen Daren and Nat for such a long time. So I was really glad to have agreed to do the show. ha.



Junli was the wobby again. He's the best wobbie, don't you agree?



Shawn is a ham sap boy!! hahaa.. ok la, pat is the ham sap one! This is such a funny picture!



I had purposely worn my "long time no see" top. Since leaving mediacorp, I haven't seen my friends for so long! Not just the artiste, the makeup artist, the stylist, the wardrobe ladies, crew, etc! Including Jesseca. Some times, I agree to do mediacorp shows just so that I can catch up with my friends. =)

And that, is a great way to start the year.

err, yah but after that it hasn't been very pretty. BUT it's getting better!!!! I'll super happy girl soon! Thank you taggers, friends, family for all the concern! I'm sure it'll be better after CNY, after the mooooo comes in and give me a boost! haha.

十一年了,朋友们。 (Monday, January 12, 2009 / 5:30 AM)

十一年了,朋友们。

前天,在赵咏华的演唱会上,听到这首歌,想到你们,我感动地落泪。

*******
我们的故事
by赵咏华

我的朋友 都是我的爱人
曾陪我走过苦涩的青春

从一盏烛光 到无人的海洋
永远说不完是什么
让女孩变女人...
我们的话题 永远在梦里
从爱情到放逐自己
从不实际到最平凡的委屈

谁说我们的故事留在年少
你爱哭 他爱笑
都保存得那么好

曾经我们都活得那么骄傲
你固执 她怕老
谁和谁永远在争吵
谁说女人的友情永远比男人单薄
感谢天 感谢地
让我在生命中看到
最真实的微笑...

********

十一年前,我真的是完全不会打扮,不太有想法。如果我的生命中没有你,我永远都是那个无敌kampung girl。

Dear Danielle Ga-Xu 薇薇,
you were the one who taught me how to tie my hair in that 1001 ways.
you taught me how to be strong, to have my own opinions, how to stand up for myself, how to BE myself.
you were the one who made me so argumentative, which later became a problem between us, coz we quarreled with each other so much. HAHA! That's why I especially like the line "谁和谁永远在争吵". It reminded me of US! hahaha...

十一年前,我不太会哭。如果我的生命中没有你,我就没有今天的感性。

Dear Samantha Liew 素仪,
you were the one who taught me acceptance.
you taught me how to look at everything is different perspective, always showing me interesting perspective.
you taught how to feeeeeel.
you are always the one i want to turn to when i have 心事, coz you'll always give me a perspective. (stress right? heh heh)

十一年前,我不太浪漫。如果我的生命中没有你, 我就不会欣赏漂亮的景色,被它感动。

Dear Kate Lee 慧雯,
you were the one who taught me how to be patient. Some times, when i'm caught in difficult situations, I'll think to myself, "what would huiwen do/say?".
you are forever a romantic even with your pragmatic ways.
you are most supportive of me, giving me endless help.
you balance the "wei wei" in me. haha!

十一年前,我只是个哼哼唱唱的黄毛丫头。如果我的生命中没有你,我就不会意识到我是那么那么那么地喜欢唱歌。

Dear Beverly Liew 慧明,
you were the one who taught me to love singing.
you taught me how to sing, i wanted to sing like you!
you were the one who balanced my fiery temper, taught me how to be coooool, although you'll say "no, im not cool". haha.

十一年前,在中学时期,我被所谓的好朋友深深地伤害,背叛。我变得有点anti-social。那时,我觉得友情是虚幻的。但是,你们让我看到真挚的友情。这一路来,就算受到什么挫折,尽管我还是被一些所谓的好友背叛,我都没有怀疑过,我们的友情是最真的。

如果没有你们,我就一定不是今天的我。讲真的!我是超爱你们的!

Ponyo (Wednesday, January 7, 2009 / 7:12 AM)

One afternoon when we were leaving our house, diya and i found a lost dog... this poor dog was running on the road, looking for her house. She was running dangerously in the middle of the road. A few cars have to stop just behind her and wait for her to realize she's in the way. We thought it was VERY dangerous. So we followed her. To make sure she did not get knocked down and to see if she could find her house.

We followed her for about 45 mins ba... For quite long. We also did not know what to do. We called SPCA but they said we have to contain the dog for the day. But Diya's mum is afraid of dogs! So we can't keep it there.

Finally we decided to just contain it and drive it to SPCA. But SPCA was closed!!!! Luckily we found a friend who's willing to keep the dog temporarily. Phew... If not we really dunno what to do liao.

She was badly shaken! It took a long while of coaxing and reassuring before she would let us touch her and then contain her. She was trembling a lot. We cleaned her up at d's friend place and settle her down. She's really a lovely dog. She was soooo tame and sweet. She did not bark throughout. Just come whining.



If you are the owner, please contact me, leave a message. But I'm really not optimistic about finding the owner. Sigh... Can everyone help to pass a message around that there's a missing jack russell?

If I can't find the owner, we will have to help her find another good owner. We can't keep it, if not I'll definitely keep her, coz she's soooo sweet.

请大家帮帮它吧!

2009年的第一个星期 (Sunday, January 4, 2009 / 10:30 AM)

我不知道该写些什么。

2009年才过了5天,就已经多灾多难了。
为什么感觉到事事不顺心?
为什么一开始就那么多烦恼?
为什么那么容易被击败?

太多烦恼,没办法理解前,真的不知道该怎么说。

不过,唯一开心的事是我爸爸的生日party中,玩得超开心。看见他玩得那么开心,玩得那么忘我,突然感觉到他很年轻,超有活力。

Dear daddy, HAppy birthday!!!! I hope you remain young always!!! Don't let age get to you! Always have a positive mind. 对于很多事情,只要想着“这样也OK啊!”,只要开心就好。ok?

We love you!!!!
