What's in me
A very great HI to everyone reading this blog. I have never thought that I would be having my own blog because well first, I DONT LIKE TO WRITE, I LIKE TO THINK. And its just too much pain in the ass to maintain the freaking blog so Disclaimer: It might turn out pretty dead.
But anyways, I thought there are still much benefits from establishing a blog, which I think penning things down is something that is most important for people who like to think and daydream a lot.
The very first post would be about me and what this blog is going to be about :
My name is Boon hui lu, because of my unique surname which is called BOON and BOON= GOOD, and also what my classmates have been calling me, I have decided to come up with a nickname called BOONIE. Cool? Oh wells, so just call me boonie if not people just end up calling me Boon Hui instead. Its like' How many times must I tell you boon is my surname not my name huh? '
I am 19 years old and currently studying in NTU accountancy. 4 things I like to do :
1. Think
I am always thinking about everything under the sun...stupid things like my point of view as a fish, playing dominos with HDB flats and so on.. I basically dream a lot as well, with an average of around 7 dreams per night which I have no idea why.. I am pretty good at lucid dreaming because of that. ( The state where you know you are dreaming when you are dreaming , its like dreamception and you get to control your dreams, sounds cool right? Took me sometime to learn that). With that, I really have a thing for autism so I like to read books on autism and I work in this Autism-Focused School called the Pathlight School during school breaks to know more about autism and to interact with the kids there. And they are super awesome I tell you that. :)
2. Act
 |
| This is totally just for laughs. |
Yah, like act cute, act smart (wayang), act kelian, act dumb. I like to act. Fell in love with acting ever since young. I am a visual person, so acting really draws me. I am the only one who makes weird faces when we all watch TV. I really zone out the whole freaking world when I watch TV, I cannot live without a TV. So I like to drag daddy along with me to Mediacorp for auditions and hopefully I get to cast inside. And you know sometimes dreams do come true.
So my first onscreen experience when I was 9 was the movie Homerun, but this time around they sort of came to our school and my teacher recommended me to go for the audition. I had a minor role in there ( the one who stole the female lead's shoe) .
 |
| The country girl me and JackNeo. :) |
And acting just became a more cooler thing for me. And I went to join Chinese drama society in my secondary school, Anglican High Shcool. After that, my first role in Mediacorp productions came where I was portrayed as a mute girl in TV show called Rhapsody In Blue acting alongside with Jessica liu and Christopher Lee, they were really like role models to me. So with that I was seen in more productions like My school daze and those morning sunday kids show..you know those kind and its just so cute every time they playback on the TV . My last show was 995, and I stopped acting for quite a while due to some unforeseen circumstances which affected my self esteem quite a lot and I shall explain it later in my next few blog post. Proud fact : I was also a star awards winner you know? thanks to Young talent award in 2006 (aka Qing ping guo) hehe, so I tell people I've won star awards before, kinda half true.. haha.
3. Sing
 |
| Stardust 2012 semifinals-mouth open so big for what. |
Music appeals to me pretty much as well. Every time as I watched a new Mediacorp production, the mission was to learn the theme song by the end of the twenty episode. I always did it until I was in secondary school and I had no time for that already. So I started listening to Mando pop during the jolin tsai and jay chou era and was more towards chinese songs actually all the way until I went into Victoria Junior college which is totally an angmoh school I would say. I joined VJC choir and its was really where my whole singing thing started to take flight from there. All my choir mates were super awesome, they had perfect pitch, they have nice singing tone,they play the piano and guitar really well...and I was just so envious. I want to be like them..and they made me realised that singing was much more than what you do in the bathroom. Although I dislike classical music, but the techniques that I've learnt were really useful to me. But I kinda really did not like choir because of its strict disclipline and high difficulty and the fact that I felt a little inferior to them cause I had no background.I was sort of like a outcast, or rather i stayed really low and quiet over there. I also took up one and a half year of singing lessons in Ocean butterflies during JC and I met the teacher of my life Mr Acid Pang. He is just so warm and lovable, and I really want to share every achievement that I have made this far with him. :)
 |
| The final one- Boon Hui Lu |
Talking about singing competitions..maybe I am now in the TOP 40 in The Final One, but let me tell you about all my singing competition experiences and you will know how competitive singing competitions are and how I try my best to accept failures and move on from there.
My first Singing Competition was in VJC called Musicfest and its something VJC always has every year. While basically I joined the competition for two straight years and I was never once accepted into the grand finals. I remembered the second time I failed I was so so so extremely upset. I cried and cried and cried when I went home.. Seeing some of my choir mates getting the tickets while i got left out just hit me bad. Could still remember when I went home, I told myself that I am never going to join any such competitions anymore, I am never going to sing again because my singing sucks and if I cant even make it in a JC , who am I to let the rest like my singing? That's was really what I thought at that time...I was really devastated i tell you.
I really have this problem with stage fright. Its like people say that I am very experienced but when it comes to singing..my pitch goes all over the place when I am nervous. After your performance.. you go like.. why do I sound so different in the bathroom. I sound like Adele in the bathroom you know and you guys should totally hear that..:) but oh wells, I guess singing or your passion is something really hard to stop or abandon just because you got rejected. I guess I really love singing so I decided to come back up and try try try... (pink!)
Took me some time to improve on my eye contact, stage presence and pitching..and I thought I really got back stronger each time.. yes! And until my first Singing award came and it was stardust 2012!

| On my dad's van- Sang price tag. |
There's a little story behind this actually and it has something to do with Ong Eng Teck (aka ET) who is also TOP 40 in The Final One.Actually I didnt make it to the grand finals initially , as usual.. until ET dropped out cause he was in another competition called Fantasia Academy Sunsilk so I took his place and got second in the finals. I have'nt told him that yet.. but I am going to tell him soon! :)
 |
| once in a lifetime! Xing guang da dao! |
2012 was a fruitful one with regards to my singing journey...guess on lot of luck was on my side that year, I was unexpectedly chosen to represent Singapore for this Taiwan Singing competition called Hua Ren Xing Guang Da Dao!!! Its like some really fabulous singing competition with a lot of singing monsters there and I could hardly believe it that I 'was going to appear there as well. It felt like a dream, and I've dreamed of it before actually. I always dream literally right? Although I was eliminated from the first round in Taiwan, I thought no regrets man, just gotta work harder!
 |
| My Chinese name- yours truly :) |
So maybe for now I dont know how far i'd go in this upcoming competition but I will just try to keep this blog going... and share my little achievements with everyone who is reading this. ;)
4. Study
Non Geeks please skip this part.
Geeky as it sounds... but yeap, I like to study as well. I like to delve deep into subjects and get this feeling of immense satisfaction when I solve some really hard Amath questions which I think only geeks like me will understand. It kinda feels like you are the champion or something when you solve the freaking question when everyone is just like : WTH is this question talking about. And then you start explaining and its like MUAHAHAH, BOW DOWN TO ME. Sorry, got too carried away in my geeky world. :) But basically, getting this feeling is why I like studying. But similarly, studying is like a love hate relationship, when you spent hours but you still cant figure out the F***King ( its freaking, there's 3 asterisks) concept, or formular.. you'll feel like banging the wall cause you just spent 4 hrs doing nothing but think.
Another thing about geeks is that they dont like to lose ( or maybe just Singaporeans) , for me.. I study a lot sometime because I get panic attack that the test is going to be very hard and I dont want to fail or just cause when I see my slacker classmate starts to flip her/his books. Geeks get paranoid over little stimulus.
But as I grew up, I thought studying isnt just about trying to beat your classmate.. getting the best marks... its about gaining wisdom and knowledge ( but its just too bad that Singapore's Education System has made many into thinking this way). So right now, I like studying because I feel that I could gain more wisdom when I study. And I give tuition now because I don't want to throw my knowledge back to my teachers and I want to teach my student new ways and insights to face Singapore's education system. Sound ambitious right? hehe. Actually, I told myself that I am going to teach accounting if my singing/acting plan fails.. so teaching is like my backup plan you see!
Okay, my grades in the open for competitive people who wants to know. And cause only geeks like to tell people about their grades. :)
PSLE : 250
O levels : L1R5= 7
A levels: 3 H2 As.
HAHA. Thats what I do when I apply for tuition jobs too you see so I am okay in letting people know about my grades, its not like perfect score but its not too bad actually in my opinion since I worked hard for it. :)
Other Miscellaneous stuffs about me:
1. I am pretty scarred with my bad complexion, emotionally and literally, which I would talk about it in my next few posts and this incident made me realised a lot of things as well.
2. I have three siblings , I am like no 2. We are all girls, and four girls together give you lots of things ...like bitch fight for clothes, bathroom, computer and everything, screaming, doing petty evil stuffs like off-ing the heater switch. There's a uncanny similarity with regards to our education qualifications: All four of us graduated from Changkat primary school, Anglican High School (one's still inside), the eldest three studied in Victoria Junior college and the eldest two, me and eldest sister are currently in NTU Nanyang business school. Like this flowing culture because me and my sisters are so homogeneous with respect to education, we dont get much of a comparsion between siblings from our parents. Yippee!
3. I believe in one true love.. come on.. know it sounds stupid, but I do believe. So I have stayed single for my nineteen years of life hoping to find my only one right guy, then I can get married! My expectations for my guy is simple: Smart, Geeky and Nice! Smart guys are charismatic, geeks are cute when they do work cause they look so focused, Nice guys dont finish last, they are the first in my list! :)
About this Blog:
1. Skincare: cause my bad complexion has caused me much distress and I hope to encourage people to stay strong on this journey.
2. Studying tips : I will share some professional studying tips and my personal experience if possible. feel free to share your tips too yo! If you have any academics problems, feel free to share it.
3. My updates: like what I am doing now, crapping with friends, eating nandos.. whatever, this is pretty general basically.
4. Some weird thoughts: This is definitely very important for me. I need to pen down all my dreams so next time I can be someone great. Just like how the benzene ring was discovered from a dream. oh yeah..
5. Guys: I don' t know? Maybe we can just have bimbotic talks over them.. since I know that's what they do to us..shall see about that. :)
Well, to end it off, I really hope this blog doesnt end up dead... which I am now speculation how it would be one year from now.. So Cheers everybody, there's no need to worry. There's a plan for everyone in this world , have a great week ahead! :)
