Just in case you're wondering, I still have a life (sounds weird. ring up the grammar police).

Not really, but close enough. I mean going online doing study-unrelated things is counted right?

HAHAHAHA yupps 9gag is one of my online BFFs now :B Here are 5 things that I'm really into now, not that you'll care, or that I care if you care.

1. INDIE MUSIC. Don't think this comes as a surprise to many but still. Currently Foster The People, Arctic Monkeys, Death Cab For Cutie and fun. are dominating my playlist, but I'm moving on soon.

2. bracelets

3. rings

4. markers. no those are not mine, though they will be happier with me haha. Esp after I started on my art prep boards, the obsession has been brought to another level.

5. my bed, like I always am:D

I want to apologize.

I know since the start of the year I haven't been the best family member, friend, senior or simply person to have around. Everywhere I go I feel like I'm channelling really negative energy whether or not you feel it. Looking back, it's as though I just suddenly abandon everything else I used to value and take lots of pride in.

I've just been so caught up balancing my own personal needs and wants, and having incredibly selfish thoughts that I simply accept other things as they come by.

I am absolutely sorry if I hurt any of you unknowingly, be it through words or actions. Like, who the hell I am right? Why should I be so constantly concerned about myself when there are so many things for me to give a damn about?

Yknow how people say we can be anyone we want to be? I wanted to be someone good, but end up choosing to be the kind of person I despise. *le sighs*

Plonk. plonk. plonk.

THIS WHOLE WEEK WAS HECTIC HECTIC HECTIC. Besides the usual lessons, my whole weekend was filled to the brim with all sorts of activities.

The whole of Saturday was spent in Cat High, the 2nd time I went there for an initiative since sec2. Had breakfast with the greys and headed off to CHS.The whole thing was pretty much the similar to sec2's, though the timing was waaaaaaaaaaaay longer. Was in the same group as amanda and yeeyean. So generally we played games the whole day. The lunch was good tho, haha chicky rice! :B

GAY WAAAAAAAAAAAVE~

ugly doll faces. the last 5 pple weren't being a sport hmph.

After lunch was ball games and frisbee. The obviously innocent me was horribly accused by many biased individuals (namely ayana, jillian and yifen) of bullying "small" kids. :O IKR, dafuq? How is that even possible? I mean, it's really not my fault that Fate tied me and the secones from both teams together in captain's ball :< Yea the initiative ended off with some phototaking session. Got a pic with cat high's cute scout master! :D

say what you like about this hahaha

lizzy - my going-home buddy and an amazing person to talk to

Immediately after I reached home it was off to Singapore Expo to see the 清明上河图 by beijing's architectural perspective giant 水晶石. Though it was extremely educational and the moving picture was pretty enthralling (esp the night scene!), I wouldn't consider this exhibition/showcase as a must-see for everyone. If anyone's going to see it, I recommend you to go for the CHINESE audio guide if you can understand chinese. I tried both chinese and english, and felt that the chinese one is more interesting to listen to.

didn't bring my camera so I kope-d this from somewhere else

Had some supper in hua nan restaurant at upper thompson. Their duck porridge is (Y). Popped into salted caramel as well, and the place is sho ALIVE gosh I wanna work there next time. K that's all for now bye!

Even when it has been almost 23 hours since this day started, it still felt a little surreal to me.

It's not like some life-changing events happened today actually. The simple fact that the amath paper today was quite a breeze (I know, I never thought this would happen with exponential graphs), that I hastily nodded at a major decision I spent weeks mulling over, that I received my CampChallenge certs and badge finally, Sam's artsy pencils + artist statement made today seem like one of the awesomer days in the week.

Even after you added in a bio spa report full of wth-was-i-thinking-answers, a huge scolding, and draining lessons, today was still awesome:)

Hahaha look I even bought a flower for myself!

not really. it's for bio tomorrow actually :/ BUT STILL.

I look forward to the day I can create works like this

grumblemumblerumble. It's back to school after 2 days of celebrations. 2 DAYS ONLY. I know, I know. WTF right? When I say 2 days of celebrations, I didn't mention the fact that they were rudely interrupted by the demands of my homework and sleep debt, the only two things I ever bring home from school. -.-

Generally I think that this year's CNY has everything but the 'feel'. It's still pretty awesome la, though I was never truly enthusiastic or energetic most of the time. I think school really wired us out too much luh. But the only thing I'm truly happy about is the clothes I bought for CNY. Agree with my taste or not, this batch is definitely the best batch of CNY clothing I ever bought! :D:D:D:D:D

大年初一:

celebrating CNY: the windows smart phone way

cobalt blue skater dress from Cottage, brass robot/alien necklace from taiwan and red belt from bugis. Felt very super mario-y that day :D

yes, how can I miss out my red bling moustache toms? C:

Went to my grandma's house to 拜年, before going to the National Museum to see the Dreams and Reality exhibition. Besides the fact that its entrance is free that day, the exhibition's extensive collection of several artists' and photographers' masterpieces made it absolutely worth the trouble of getting there. Honestly, I would still go to the exhibition even if I needed to pay.

the looooong queue outside the gallery. thank god i went earlier.

family photo taken by a super nice Japanese boy:)

We then went for some Wendy's before visiting my aunt. Then the sad me stayed at home to rot while my parents and brother went out with my elder cousins to karaoke. Totally skipped dinner and fell asleep instead.

大年初二:

printed cat tank from bugis, skinnies from f21 and my new adorable darling: blue canvas bag with red lining from func deco! badges are my friends' love from london, and the gun is DIYed :)

my yellow bunny. it sleeps next to me every night with its wife, the orange bunny. too bad the orange bunny was in the wash taking a bubble bath blop blop blop.

Visited my grand aunt, had a short lunch of pizza hut pizzas. Pizza Hut should really change their name to Bread Hut or something more fitting. Their pan "crust" is nothing but a piece of half-squashed-but-still-fat bread. Really the pizza toppings felt more like a thin spread for my "crust".

Then it's back home with where I napped and did homework. Raaaaa when I should be at my baby cousin's birthday party. At night it was dinner at my uncle's, mahjongmahjongmahjong and home. Tralala.

It's Chinese New Year's Eve, or 除夕! I reallyreallyreally ADOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRREEEEEEE these paper cut designs! They're forever so adorable and innocent C:

As usual, my life is just a flurry of hectic moments that rush past in a blur. On Friday we had our CNY celebrations, which ended up as a camwhoring session since we can't see or hear the programme clearly. Not ma' fault, darling. It was followed by a movie with Rachael, Eli, Tessa, Cow and Val.

Watched Jack Neo's newest baby: We Not Naughty (孩子不坏). The rest of the post will be my take on this local product.

The fact that the movie has a wonderful cast (excluding amos lee, eric moo and jianren's mom) is probably the nicest thing about the film itself. Generally, the film is like a mishmash of many issues (gangs, cyber bullying, gambling, teacher-student relationships, people looking on each other, people looking down on themselves, busy parents... you get the drift).

Although I was really moved at the shaving hair scene (I credit this to the actresses), I had waaay more WTF moments than I ever had while watching a movie. Too much, I repeat, TOO MUCH was going on at once, especially towards the end. If I were to split the film up, the front part (from starting atw to the part where the mom fainted) was good. The back part (which is everything starting from where I stopped) was uggggh.

Guys go to M'sia, teacher happens to follow with preggo wife, guys faces dilemma when ah long hands them drugs, helicopter conk out, ah long and friends wallop guys, teacher comes and tries to save the day, guys escape, mom kenna injured, preggo wife gives birth, blablabla movie ends. Seriously. SERIOUSLY?

Now I know why the last part of a movie is so crucial . Because of that last 10-20 minutes I briefly described just now, WNN got demoted from a i-may-just-watch-it-again-when-i'm-bored level to a i'll-only-watch-this-shit-again-when-i'm-officially-nuts level. It's really quite wasted, when the cast did a great job (shawn lee and that lil' boy!!!) playing their roles, when their talent only made the otherwise predictable and crappy plot and cheesy adverts (yes I know that zell-v's a sponsor but I'm watching a movie, not an ad!) slightly more appealing. Honestly, I don't get what Jack Neo's focus in this movie. Friendship? Love? Family ties? It remains a great mystery to me till today :O

Despite all the bad I pointed out, I still think y'all should check the movie out. The front part is worth-watching. Ha after watching the front you can just leave teehees. (Y)

Oh the scorching weather these days.

School is being a chore as it always was. *sighs* I don't know why I'm feeling so angsty these days. I'm just holding on to things like an amateur holding onto a bike's handlebars, wanting to take control but not certain how.

A lot of important (fine, maybe not really. but they're pretty big deals to a sec4) decisions are piling up, waiting for my indecisive mind to draw conclusions. Actually I already have answers to many, but I'm afraid of "officialis-ing" them.

What if, just what if, my answers are the starting steps of a journey of mistakes?

And that's when I get back to ground zero again. Locking myself up, forcing my brain to think of other ways out, constantly and desperately needing silence and to be left in solitude. I flare up when I'm called to do things in the midst of thinking. I find all sorts of minor requests retarded. I can't seem to stop using harsh words on others, leaving them to misunderstand me as an arrogant bitch when in fact, I use even harsher words on myself.

Whoever who's reading this, I'm sorry if I hurt you unknowingly. I'm afraid I might turn worse as time passes and schedules start catching up. Please know that really, nothing I say is meant to be a personal attack. Just...don't keep asking me the same questions over and over again. tyvm.

YESTERDAY WAS PLAIN MADNESS for my wallet.

Met Shi Hui after NAFA to go cny shopping. Embarking on our usual route, it was the fruitful-est trip I had so far. I guess I wasn't really in the picky mood yesterday. Started off at Bugis, before moving down to Somerset and lastly, Orchard. Wanted to go to Haji Lane at first, but I forgot how to walk there + my phone died cos I didn't charge it:( Oh well.

Won't go into much details. We shopped for 5 hours straight. Thank god I was wearing espadrilles (or toms as we all call it, though the ones I wore weren't toms), my normal flats would've just died like a smelly tuna halfway.

MY HAUL:

colour block clutch
dress from Bugis level 3 + a surprisingly nice free belt
printed cat tank
mustard graphic tee
f21 skinnies
h&m shift dress
mds dress

plus food to munch on along the way. Best part is that everything cost <$120, with all the cny promotions going on:) Sadly this might be one of the few rare times I actually go out to shop this year. Now I'm waiting for the post-cny sales to get other stuff.

Nothing to blog about, just something chio to share ;)

CHECK OUT MA' NEW BLING BLING TOMS. :B

Added the purple moustache myself. Wanted to bling up the whole thing and sew it to the front at first, but I thought it'd look better this way:) Yeapps my normal toms is up there for comparison, I'm gonna finish the other moustache this weekend.

Trust me this is damn easy and super fun to do. All you need is a moustache template, pieces of felt, a needle, thread, sequins (I'm using those transparent kind), scissors, a marker and some time.

Choose the your favourite moustache template, adjust its size so it fits your shoe, and print it out.
Cut out the template and place it on the felt. Using a marker/colour pencil, trace out the template's shape onto the felt.
Cut out the traced felt. You should have a piece of felt in the same shape as your template. Halfway there alr.
Sew the sequins along the edge of the felt. You can opt for using glue to stick them on instead of sewing though that's more of a temporary solution (e.g. can last for a couple of wears). I went for sewing cos I'm pretty rough on my shoes.
All you have to do is to sew the blinged up moustache onto your shoe now. Or you can sew it onto your shirt. Or your underwear. Whatever really. Once again, using glue is an option too but yes, it's only temporary and leaves stains on your clothes when you remove the moustache next time :/

Meh finished doing my first (i think?) tutorial. It's for retarded people like me who forgets how to do simple things after a while. Hope y'all find it useful and easy:)

I WAS RIGHT.

Only the first week of sec4 and life's been pretty much hell for me. It wasn't that bad so far, a lil' like my EOY period last year. But it really sucks when I foresee myself living my EOY life for at least 6 months, before moving on to the EOYx100000~ life. :/

Something really good finally happened to me since the start of this year. YES, I GOT BACK MY O LVL CHINESE RESULTS! :D Ahahahhaah super happy now cos my efforts last year finally paid off. Omg it was so damn hard to sign the thing when my hand was shaking so badly lol. Which makes me more determined to do well for the other subjects as well. But, gosh, it's gonna be a tough ride ahead. vroom vroom vroom.

Anyways congrats to my white badge seniors, we're sososo proud of y'all! SNGS DID IT AGAIN! (click here to check us out) #SNPride #GirlPower

HERE COMES 2012.

For me, this is kind of a big year, probably the biggest year in my life so far. It marks the end of many things, as well as the start for many others. In cheem-nology, "Every end marks the start of a new beginning."

Ok so basically this whole year can pretty much be summarised into 1 alphabet: O. Yeapps, nothing "matters" more this year than the O levels. This year will also mark the official end of my journey as a SNGuide, a St Nick's girl, a secondary school student, girls-only Valentine's day, yadderyadderyadder you get the picture.

'nuff said, I wanna continue watching my show. So, what's a new year without new resolutions? I think I should write my resolutions on my wall (as in bedroom wall not fb wall -.-) so I can see them everyday and not lonly complete half of them like last year-.-

As a student, most of my resolutions are rather predictable. Like I care really, there are things I really need to get them done. Shooosh!

STUDY, study, study. Whoever said that hardcore mugging is useless, go screw yourself.
Get a job after Os. MONEY Y U NO COME TO ME?
Tone up somemore! Trying to get abs before cny:)
Take lots of pictures. Truckloads of 'em. That'll make doing my art prep board a wee bit easier.
Drink more water. Even got a huge-ass 900ml bottle to help me.
Sleep at regular times. Yes, after 3 years I'm still at it.
Clean up & vacuum my room every 3 weeks.
Stay out of crappy relationship(friends, etc) problems that are nothing but a fucking waste of time

Wish me luck, guys! I think I'll need lots of them to get through:) Before I go, here's the song that have been playing through my head as the year passed. Cheers everybodaye!

Have nothing much to say now, cos I'm keeping my resolutions for tomorrow. Speaking of which. lemme look back at my resolutions this year, and how much I actually did:) Ok here's the 2011 resolutions list I coped from here, shall bold the ones I actually did:

Work harder in studies
Stop being a nehneh and get pissed easily and use less vulgarities !"£$%^&*()(*&^%
Have regular sleep (panda eyes!D:) so use less computer to do stupid and weird things
Exercise more and tone up!
Shop crazily but less frequently
Improve my photoshopping and drawing/painting skills
Remember to do ~~all~~ most of my homework and not get bombarded by teachers
Drink more water!
Live life to almost the fullest with minimum regrets (a half bold cos I kinda did:P)

Shucks, I didn't really complete the important ones:/ Though I'm still glad I finished half of my resolutions:) This year's gonna be gone in 4 hours from now, so it's time to

wrap up our thoughts...

flush out the shit...

store the sweets...

Since there's only 1day+ left, I think I'm fit to do my 2011 look-back post now.

2011 has been a neither-here-nor-there year. It wasn't a totally awesome year, although there were many incredible moments that I would kill to relive:) There are many ways to deduce whether this was a good year, so hang on.

Study-wise, 2011 sucked to the core. Though it's not my first time failing some tests, IT SUCKED. But for some reason I got more interested in what I'm actually studying this year *mugger alert* esp in History, SS. Maybe it's cos I got to choose my subjects. Too bad my immense interest did not pay off as well as I would like it to:/

Made a lot more friends this year, given my more sociable classmates:) The usual drift and bond happened as well, but generally I got to know a lot more people better. Friendship-wise, 2011 was (Y)

Thank you guys for this great year:)

For CCA, it was a hectic hectic first-half of the year as usual. Generally it was quite fruitful, with Orientation, promotion, commanding, Outdoor Challenge, Camp Challenge, ushers for camp, ASG, National Day and helping out at the Guides' House. God but I've never love Gadgets more than I do this year ♥♥♥

Fror art, this was a FUNTASTIC year. Did a lot of pieces that I actually like and had loads of fun doing! You can find most of my works here. :D

Overall it was a pretty awesome year:) Went to places I never thought I would go, did things I never thought I would do, tried food I never thought I would eat. And yes I read/watched much more interesting books/films this year too. Not as much as last year, but quality>quantity babaye.

Yeapps 2011 was a mixture of surprises and letdowns, laughter and tears, peace and chaos, disasters and miracles, holding on and letting go.

I really learnt a lot this year, about the people around me, people in general, and lots of weird things only sad people like me are interested in ahhaha. A WHOLE LOT.

My very last europe post. Quite glad that I had the OOOMPH to finish all the posts, since it's my first time doing such detailed travel posts, srsly check out my previous ones (e.g. 2009 wudang trip, 2010 wuxi trip i/ii/iii etc). Oh well, maybe I improved :') Moving on.

Day 8:
It's our free and easy day, and I'm super convinced that free-and-easy style of travelling still suits me BEST. Confirm plus chop. *digress*

My uncle took the job of being our "guide" of the day, and for a person who can't speak French for nuts, he did a pretty great job hahaha. Main credits still go to the faithful map our real guide Alex nicely stuck on our hotel room doors.

We took the metro, which was really easy to figure out and very efficient. Though the facilities a little run down compared to our MRT, our whole Met experience was great, peppered with nice friendly French, talented buskers and cute adverts:) Recent events (AHEMMM!) has taught me that seemingly perfect things has the tendency to cock out every now and then (and increasingly so it seems), so I need to really think beyond the shiny glossy surface to know what's the real deal.

reminds me of the unfurgiveable ad

off we go~

Went to check out the Eiffel Tower to see how the queue to go up was. It was too darn long really, so we skipped going up the tower and snapped some pics instead. The sky that day was SPLENDID with a capital S. You can see it in the pics:) Zomg the tower is huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugggeee! Maybe I'm too used seeing it on cute keychains:/Coming up, AN EIFFEL TOWER PICSPAM!!! I just can't enough of it:)

the kanga man! wanted to take a pic with him but i lost him by the time we reached the Eiffel Tower :(

nomnom

people trolling under the Tower.

Typical Opiang Tourist ft. Ben

last shot, promise.

Left the pretty Eiffel Tower, and walked along River Seine towards the Louvre. We could've walked straight along the river, but my uncle wanted the walk to be more interesting. So we made a few turns, got a little lost along the way, and walked at least >4km before eating lunch and reaching the Louvre. Lalala I love walking (even with my crappy kns boots) but my grandma's face was like "WTF this is called 快要到了?!"

reason to wear platform heels in paris >(

1 hour of walking before ben pointed out that the trees are all trimmed to be uniformed. #mindblown

i thought there would be choc spread inside3, but no. and it cost fucking €3(SGD$5.10) for a sad plain crepe. Total rip off >(

santa claus is coming to town~

one of the many cool cars we saw there.

Oh in the prev post I forgot to add this:

cinderella's freaking carriage! SHO ROMANTIC *sniffles* saw it otw to the river cruise

PRADAlalalala~

After so long, we reached the gates of the Louvre #likefinally. But the sad part was: THAT'S JUST THE GATE. The actual museum with the pyramid was still a gazillion stone's throw away. We merely entered the Louvre's compound.

outside the gate.

an amazing bubble man outside the gates. SUPER CUTE zomg i love the europeans:}

Lunched in one of the restaurants lined up there. Before moving on to yes! THE LOUVRE:)

ben being as weird as he is. that guy had 2 parkas on srsly -.-

the ever-famous glass pyramid by I.M Pei. #CHINESEPRIDE

The Louvre is a real stunner. From the building to the stuff it displays, the arduous journey before was definitely worth it. Didn't see everything(it's impossible to finish in one day, let alone 1-2 hours -.-) but managed to cover a couple of famous pieces, and a few pieces that I always wanted to see:D

I planned our museum route around the Mona Lisa area

Didn't take a lot of photos though. Cos I don't get why people take pictures with paintings. There can only be 1 main focal point in a good pic, so do you want to focus to be on the painting or on yourself? Hahaha my eyes need to go on a diet after seeing so much inside. The collection there is just so incredible.

SEE THE CAMERA? haha art museums are not always boring and stuffy yo.

After the Louvre was shopping at Lafayette, or 老佛爷 teehees. It's crazy how people can actually shop there with so many others squashing you like they're making fruit juice. If it's Bugis then I don't mind. But the stuff there is already so ex, and you still have to tahan the throngs of people like you're in a pasar malam wtf? I see why people love huge-ass boutiques with crowd controllers:/

look beyond ben and see why the 2 hours in Lafayette was bearable:) european guys ftw^^

Call me cheapo, but I didn't get anything from there. Also cos the design is not for our age la. Wanted to go to the H&M next door at first, but by the time my uncle and aunt got their LV & miu miu kick we were too tired/hungry/thirsty to go anywhere else. So it's back to the hotel&dinner.

guess what was my dinner? hahahahaha

Day 9&10:

The last 2 days were pretty much a snore so I'll lump them together. In simple words, Day 9: wake up>breakfast>pack>some Monopoly Deal>lunch>go airport>fly>transit> fly somemore. Day 10: continue flying> reach home.

Our route was Paris> Istanbul> Singapore, and the whole flight took approx. 2 hours less than the previous one. But the Paris> Istanbul flight had no on board entertainment, and the food is... The Istanbul> Singapore flight had entertainment (can't imagine 10 hours w/o any), but still serve the same food as the prev flight. Drank loads of coffee and left most of the gross food alone.

what's the thing on my plate :O

Overall this trip was an eye-opener, though itinerary-wise there are loads of room for improvement. Didn't go bonkers and buy loads of things like in China, but Europe is a visual-feast in almost every corner :D Usually I'm not a very family person, but I guess I bonded more with my mom's side, esp. my cousins and grandma in this trip too. Hahaha really a huge thankyou goes out to them for letting me return in 1 piece^^

Europe, I'll be back someday.

First and foremost, a MERRYWERRYCHRISTMAS to everyone! Have fun partying and feasting and exchanging gifts! While people like me camp at home with nothing christmassy to do e.g. cleaning my room. *sighs* #foreveralone

Hahahaha no don't feel sad for me, cos I already had my share of celebrations days before today. It's funny how I celebrate Christmas on other days besides on Christmas Day itself -.-

There was a family one on the 16th, where we just went for dinner and talk and have a lucky draw with socks. No photos yet cos annoying Ben is too lazy to upload them :P

Then the class one on 20th, which we had in Rachael's humongous crib. Jillian and I rushed there after our Homemakers' course, resulting in me feeling sadly under-dressed compared to my glammed up classmates. Oh well. Ate loads of turkey and popped yummy sparkling juice:) Played games like I Have Never(two rounds and everyone died :<) and Murderer (which Anna can't wink for nuts hahahah) Afterwards was a huge round of Monopoly, watching Tangled in Rachael's telly room and more yabbering with everyone. Hahaha my secret santa turned out to be the one receiving my present too! Pure coincidence really:o

supposed to be reindeer but failed hahahaha

our huge-ass and ultra-yummy turkey!

The next day was the BBQ at jiaying's house. Not exactly a christmas celebration but wtv. It was more food, more drinks and more talking:) Her siblings and cousin are super epic!

what we guides are damn good at (Y)

anna: hmmm... you sure this is enough for dinner?

Lastly, party/job at Val's aunt's house! Hahaha we were darn cute santarinas who made finger-licking good appetisers and mocktails, and served drinks like pros. (Y) <---- Lol you can ignore the pro part. Yeapps drank some along the way and conclusion?

White wine only - BLEHCCCCKKKK *gags*

White wine with anything else that's sweet - (Y)(Y)(Y) Tessa said there was a weird aftertaste but I think mocktails tasted better with it

Slept over at Val's aunt's guest room. Talked and camwhored before crashing in. Left the next day after a brunch of pasta with turkey shreds and bacon bits. NOMNOMNOM.

Day 7:
Hopped on to the coach and it was Paris straightaway. Technically, we spent less than 12 hours in Belgium-.- God the bus ride was gruelling ): It's just sitting there, watching everything roll by, knowing that everyone else out there most likely have something better to do than rotting in a coach. ): The journey to Paris was so long I didn't even bother finding out how many hours of my life I had wasted on the coach.

food to munch on

a cuppa at the stopovers

and yes, monopoly deal with my cousins and tour mate. we all reached the stage where a day can't pass without it.

So I made it through the whole journey, and reached Paris, France at noon. Not exactly the city of my dreams, but definitely one of the cities I look forward to visiting most:) After a brief lunch, naturally we went on a tour round this terribly romantic city :}

anti-shoe shoe shop? #foodforthought

We got a local guide to direct the city tour. Her way of speaking sounds like a constantly surprised woman, actually reminded me of my sec1 teacher ms chan hahaahhaa. Made a really good attempt to listen to what she's saying. Felt terrible really she has loads to talk about but I just don't have the patience to listen to people talk for a long time. Me bad :(

One major flaw of Day 7 is the freaking sky. It was so grey and gloomy the whole day:< Grey skies seriously bring the whole mood of the pictures down. Idk about you but I always thought grey skies - not enough sunlight = darker faces = look more tired = sad pic. It works this way yea.

some people need to grow up. Pronto.

I know I can't get the sky to change but really *sighs*

we saw the Eiffel Tower,

Arc De Triomphe, and many more bits of life:)

another tumblr-worthy pic!

hmmmm...

Popped into a perfumery after the brief city tour. <---- YES, this is the second boring-est activity I was talking about in the prev post! The place we went to is Fragonard Perfumery. There's nothing wrong with the place, let's just say I'm not the biggest fan of activities that are 1) zero hands-on, 2) which major aim is obviously to get us to buy stuff. -.- ~~It makes sense, I mean display cases and info templates exist for a reason!~~

I did not just say that, OH YES I DID:O But let's just take it that you didn't see it.

Blablabla a tour round the perfumery's lil' museum with an incredible guide who speaks English, Chinese and French. Our time kinda clashed with another tour group so we had our tour together. Not a very big space, at least 35 people, display cases which I can't see since they were blocked from my view, MY I HAD A GREAT TIME THERE (Y)

The perfume shop was really the bottom line for me. Felt as though my nose entered some nuclear perfume bomb explosion site. My head started to throb so I literally escaped out for cool fresh air. Hahaha the few of us were just hobo-ing outside the shop like some anti-perfume club:) To me, even ciggy smell is more tolerable than like a gazillion perfume bottles together. Once again, there's a reason why we don't ever wear more than one scent everytime.

outside the shop. looks so much like a romantic movie set ♥

The best part of the day was after dinner!:D Boarded a Seine River cruise which yea, sails down the Seine River hahahaha. Despite how Paris was so overused as a setting for mostly extremely cliché and unrealistically lovey stories, its night scene is really undeniably beautiful. Seriously, no matter how much the soppy stories are sucha huge turn off.

the sparkling Eiffel♥ I think it sparkles every hour or so. GORGEOUS TTM

a bunch of vvvv friendly school kids! we waved at each other like idiots (Y)

failed artsy candid shots :P

That night was frigging epic. Played Monopoly Deal until it's like 2am there. We got the MM(!) - Monopoly Madness

Skipping the Europe posts for now. Will continue tonight:)

The recent Saturday has been a pretty amazing one for me:) Nope we didn't do much, all we did was to not give a hoot and do what we wanted to do at that very moment. Lol.

So after the Zhonghua initiative Nic, Shi Hui and I lunched at nex before heading off to ECP. Yeapps the ecp thing was totally not in our cards and we didn't even know how to get there:/ Since Singapore is not a big place, it wasn't that hard to figure out actually.

Wanted to cycle at first, only to realise that we don't have enough money. So we emo-ed on the rock thing by the sea since it's the only free thing besides the beach. UNTIL IT STARTED RAINING LIKE 10 MINUTES LATER WTF, when I just began to love the feeling of stoning by the sea -.- Using the little money we had, we went for a round of bowling before going home. Pictures!

Me, nic and the "kidnapped" Shi Hui

Love this pic! For once I look like I have a defined chin:)

This was by far one of the best unplanned outings I had:D Hahaha now one part of my holiday to-do list: GO TO THE BEACH is kinda fulfilled. :)

Day 5:
One of the more "colourful" days of our trip ;)

Hahahaha so we started off with a trip to Cologne (hahahahaha the name amused me quite a bit) where we went to see the Gothic Cathedral. More about it later.

super yummy bread for breakfast! Dunno why I think the black thingies made it even nicer :D

On our way to Cologne from Heidelberg, there was a stopover at a petrol kiosk. In Europe there's this regulation that a bus driver must stop for 20 minutes or so if he has driven for 2 continuous hours, or he can choose to drive for 4 hours and stop for a longer period of time. Something like that. Anyways, the petrol kiosk, besides selling the usual stuff that ours do too, had a couple of cool additions:

A JACKPOT MACHINE (Y) Hahahaha my uncle won but we couldn't figure out how to get the prize money out of the idiot >(

I think this is a sunny side up. BLEHCK. The petrol kiosk felt more like a diner, with fresh salads and sandwiches.

Nuff of the kiosk. Yea so I was talking about the Gothic Cathedral. Actually it's called Cologne Cathedral, since there are many other gothic cathedrals somewhere else like in Milan. The main thing about this cathedral, besides the fact that it's the largest gothic church in northern europe, is that it houses the relics of Three Kings (please don't ask me who are the kings haha). There's a golden coffin holding all the remains and clothes.

hahaha I thought we were close at this point, BUT NO D:

As a free thinker, I didn't feel all enlightened when we enter the cathedral. Btw, from that pic up there, we walked for at least 10 more minutes before reaching the cathedral #likefinally. But honestly, the cathedral was absolutely stunning.

I whip ma' hair back n' forth!

our yellow fren here scammed my uncle off 5 euros for this pic-.-

You know how you get lost for words when you see gorgeous things? Like when you see the view from the mountain you spend half a day and your life climbing up to its peak, or a bag (which you later realise will bleed your wallet so much, it needs a blood transfusion). As shallow as it sounds, all I could say was "oh my god" when I stepped in.

beautiful~

another group just like us

Lunched before heading off to my favourite city of this whole trip: AMSTERDAM, Netherlands! As usual, we only reached the city in the evening. Such a snore:/

Hello Amsterdam!

one of the gazillion BRAKELESS bikes zooming about in the city :O

The Royal Palace in the background

cheese shop (Y)

Don't have any photos afterwards as our next stop was Amsterdam's Red Light District! At this point people start thinking wrongly tsk tsk, BUT besides the things that happen there, the buildings are really pretty, not like some parts of Geylang-.- Plus, even outside the RLD, other places are full of life as well:)

Day 6:

AHHAHAHA my grandma learnt how to be a photohacker :D

She dreams of para-para-paradise~

Our first stop was a touristy-village called Zaanse Schans with the adorkable windmills. Along the way I got to see the sunrise. Pretty pretty pretty:) Happened to be listening to Coldplay's Paradise, and that feeling was (Y)

Saw a cheese-making and clog-making demo. It was interesting learning how people make stuff, but for a demo, it was really really short and uninteractive -.- Seriously I think the cheese one lasted less than 20 minutes! Minus the too-short demos, the gift shops there are awesomeeee :D Especially the cheese one.

mouse: PARA-PARA-PARADISE!

this cheese is DELISH! with all the samples there, I made it a point to try everything. 不拿白不拿#sosingaporean

haul from the cheese shop

CLOGS CLOGGING up the ceiling (pun unintended;>)

getting high with clogs

pumped up kicks:)

The village also had a small farm with the smelly animals inside. Teehee they are sho cute;)

Headed back to the city and visited a diamond factory. Our tour guide Alex was hao lianing about his culinary skills and how to cook porridge and jap rice properly to the staff inside the factory. Hahahah throughout the whole time the lady was like "uh huh uh huh... (stfu please!)" Diamonds may be a girl's best friend, but the factory visit was prolly the boring-est thing ever (the next will be the perfume factory visit coming in the next post).

Blablabla all that the lady said was aimed at convincing us to buy diamonds. *yawns* Not fun when it went on for past an hour. Thank god for free coffee machine we found outside:)

check out ma BLINGGGGGGG

TGFFC - thank god for free coffee ♥

The factory visit was followed by a river cruise. Though slightly longer than I would've appreciated, the quaint buildings, old school bikes and graffitis lining the river bank was a sight for the eyes:) Love the fact that people there all ride bikes everywhere (i swear it made their legs so long and skinny!) and the streets are crowded but not too crowded. Yeapps, I fell for Amsterdam :>

The next time I get to go to Amsterdam, I'm def up for their bike tours! Coached to Brussels, Belgium. Had dinner and a short Market Square tour. Bought Belgian chocs (duh) and tried true blue BELGIAN WAFFLES. Omf it was so goood. Super light and cold cream, strawberry/choc sauce and warm, crunchy-outside-chewy-inside waffles ---> happykid96

Of course I didn't forget to buy some chocs there too. It was quite epic cos the adults quarreled with the choc salesgirl over some rubbish and the last thing they said was "NO ONE WILL EVER BUY FROM YOU!" something like that. But oops, 20secs later, I bought 2 boxes of chocs from the girl. #spoiler -.- Man, she was so damn friendly to me ^^

Today was full of unexpected rewards really! :D So imma blog about today first before moving on to continue my europe posts.

Like finally, I had an outing with Kristel! I swear it's like some sort of curse. Every time we (as in the guides: Jillian, Shi Hui and I) go out with Val, Tessa and Phoebe, Kristel will somehow never be able to make it. And when she goes out with Val, Tessa and Phoebe, we'll somehow also not be able to make it! :OOOO

But Jillian didn't come today so it's not a complete outing yet:( Anw moving on. Met the people at Somerset, and saw Rachael, Rebecca and Faith while waiting for them. They were on their way to take pics with the A&F models. Call me slow, but I didn't know that the models will still be there today. I always thought it was a one-day thing that I sadly missed :( So since they're still there, then why not right? :)

Yeapps after meeting the rest we headed off to A&F! Met Tabitha Nauser there and got a pic with her too. There were quite a lot of people there, so after a few snaps we went off just before it rained.

Dunno why, this is my fave pic of all!:)

then Tessa joined in...

ellie wellies (Y)

Mooched around for sometime before heading off to Dhoby. Phoebe was the crowd coordinator of the Sesame Street show there, so the rest of us just watched the show and waited for her.

how old are you exactly?

reliving childhood

Cos of Phoebe we got to take pictures with the Sesame Street cast without the passes! But it got a lil' weird when cookie monster kept shoving our hands into his "mouth" and elmo won't stop messing our hair. Ate dinner and went home. Time to move on.

Day 4:

Checked out of our hotel and made our way to Colmar, France. Yeapps this is our "rich" day: we had brekkie in Switzerland, lunch in France, and dinner in Germany. (Y)

When we reached Colmar it began drizzling like wtf. It was quite a sight while I stumble trying to keep my fingers warm and to keep my camera dry. Thankfully the weather decided to un-bitch itself and stopped raining after 15 minutes or so.

it's cold everwhere:/

in the petrol kiosk. in europe, bus drivers are supposed to stop for sometime after driving for 2 or 4 hours.

Colmar is a small city in France, and definitely one of the most adorable cities I've been to. All the houses look like they've been there for a really really long time. Think brick walls, cobblestone streets, cute windows, flowers by the window panes and you're pretty much on the right track:)

so tumblr-ish right! all I need is an emo love quote and I'm done!

cute as buttons ;")

a lil' piece of Venice in France

there was a christmas market going on there~

what's cooking?

was kinda mindblown when i found out that these are all soaps:/

It was around lunch time while we were there, so the school kids got released. I think they're around our age. There were these three dudes outside the school exchanging packets of white stuff. Tim insisted that those were drugs, while Ben and I were pretty sure it was sugar. I don't know which was more convincing:/

the school - strangely reminds me of oliver twist

you're welcome to bunk in next time in the house I bought

In Colmar, I felt like I was walking in some Enid-Blyton-storybook-world, where everything is clean and pure and innocent and cosy. Dunno whether it's true in real life, but let's just leave things that way. :)

After Colmar, we lunched at a highway restaurant which sells pretty cheap yet delish food.

The journey continues and we ended up in Heidelburg, Germany for the night. Had a quick city tour and bumped into yet another Christmas market. It even has an ice-skating rink :)

sausages FTW

idk why this looks so romantic to me <3

one of my proudest snaps! srsly it looks like a horror movie scene, and anytime some dracula-edward dude will crawl out of the window for his next prey. >:E

it's all over Heidelberg. BE OR DON'T BE, no maybes (Y)

To end off, a pic of the receptionists in Germany! Hahah the guy on the left looks a hell lot like bradley cooper! Hahah Mr "Cooper" is a nice-pot. He saved us the trouble of getting our wifi IDs every 30 minutes by giving us one whole stack of them!

I'M BACKKKKKKKKKK! Feeling a lil' lazy now, so let me kick start the europe trip posts with one that I saved in my phone during the trip! Long post ahead!

Day 1 & 2:

So the journey begins:)

Went on this Europe trip with my cousins - tim, ben and amanda, their parents (my uncle and aunt) and my grandma. We flew by Turkish airlines (their air stewardesses are gorgeous!) and stopped over at Istanbul, Turkey before flying off to Zurich, Switzerland. In total I spent almost 16 hours with my ass stuck to the plane seat. Hahaha passed time watching big bang theory and how I met your mother. It's sucha chore to try and suppress you laughs:( Oh, and the turkish airline safety video is darn cute with Man U and all!

Istanbul - the place I had a one-nighter with

my buddy camera: ben's dslr :)

a taste of home in turkey

Hello Switzerland!

patrick got to follow too!

In Switzerland, I felt so vertically challenged. Everyone's at least half a head taller than me, and those who are not are 1)kids I shouldn't compare myself to or 2)asians like me.

From the top, Switzerland looks like a photoshopped blop of land with nice green patches and adorable houses everywhere. But these days it's streets are kinda ulu cos apparently everyone either stays at home or go out of town for hollies. Lucky for us, we scored a coach that can sit 30+ people, when we only have 15 in the group! It was awesome since we have lotsa space, and we don't have to walk to get everywhere:)

We went to the Rhine Falls for a while. It's absolutely stunning the way the water just wooshes down and tumble over the rocks.

It was followed by a huge German pork knuckle lunch (<--- I declare myself a carnivore :S) and a cuckoo clock making demo in Titisee, Germany. There was this adorkable old lady who served us at lunch. And the black forest cake there makes the ones in sg taste loserish. OMFG it tasted so good with fresh cream and whole cherries! I think they put more wine inside their cake too. It's unjust how we never seem to get the best food:/ But pretty as the clocks were, I didn't buy any. Seriously I'll never get any sleep with the kookoos going on every hour-.-

Hahaha it was quite scary when this plate arrived.

nomnom the meat is tender but the skin is damn hard. forgot to take a pic of the cake :<

I was really digging the weather at first, until it started raining. But I still like it:D At night, it was all about Monopoly Deal since none of us knows German so we can't watch tv. This monopoly madness went on for the whole trip FYI.

this bread looks wrong somehow hahahaha

Day 3:

It was supposedly a free and easy day, though more than half of it was still spent with our tour guide, Alex.

Went up Mount Titlis in the Alps, the group of mountains where stories like Heidi are based on. It's also kind of the place where people e.g. bear gryllis likes the helicopter to throw them down to get stuck at. Hahaha.

The view up there is absolutely stunning. Seriously it was still worth it even if you throw in the expensive ticket, fucking strong wind and -12 degree celsius temp. It was like reliving my trip up Mount Wudang in 2009, but the Titlis-pretty is different from the Wudang-pretty. Go compare:

Titlis

Mount Wudang

The snow up there is ultra fine like baby powder! Hahaha there were truckloads of them so we started making snowballs and throwing them about like idiots. Amazingly, my digital camera didn't die in the freezing weather (that's it, I'm a Canon fan now).

even my grandma can't resist the fun:)

(Y)

trolling in a winter wonderland~

Swiss ice kacang. Bery high class one hor.

Imma SMOKER :)

There was a Movenpick ice cream bar on top of Mount Titlis too, which sells caramel ice cream that totally won salted caramel hands down.

After the Alps we went to see the Lion Monument, which was done in remembrance of the Swiss guards who died while protecting the French royalty during the French Revolution (1789-1799). It was followed up by some shopping.

the Lion Monument

Swiss national library. Looks like an awesome place to camp and study in.

Whaddup bud? Shit I know I've seen this dog somewhere before but I don't know where :( (Ok it's the HMV dog! hahaha thanks weng leong for reminding me)

an ad that made more sense than the watch's price :)

UNICORN!

Had dinner at Macs (please don't judge, I had no idea where we were and we'll prolly never get back to the hotel if we eat somewhere else). It was the most expensive Macs I ever had, in the classiest Macs I've ever been to. A fillet-o-fish meal is like CHF$9.90 (abt SGD$14.40!). But there's lots of space in their Macs and tea lights and flowers on the tables. WTH right?

This boy turned and looked into my camera. FOR ME ONLY ^^

Ok so nothing much to say, cept that I'll be gone from today to the 12th. And I'll most probably be more active on twitter and facebook (depending on whether the places have free wi-fi), while this space will remain empty till I get back and give it a vacuum. VRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOM!

Whoever that comes by this space, a huge-ass thank you goes out to you from me. Haha not really I'm partly kidding.

After finishing Forensic Heroes 3, most of 步步惊心, Big Bang Theory season 3, and a whole lot of movies, I finally found another serial to eat up my time like a starving elephant!

YES! I started off with season 2 ep1 but changed to season 1 instead. It was a lil' weird at first, but as you go on watching it's actually DAMN BLOODY HILARIOUS OMF. Hahahahahaha. From the scale of 1 to 10, 1 being 爱-kind-of-funny and 10 being Big-Bang-Theory-kind-of-funny, Happy Endings gets around 7 to 8 on the funny scale.

BBT is nerdier and much more epic (duh, who can beat Sheldon on that?), but Happy Endings is sweeter and romantic. Plus, Penny(the brunette) gets really really smokin' hot dates from time to time *o* And Elisha Cuthbert acting as Alex *points down* is darn pretty ;)

Lastly, Eliza Coupe, acting as Jane, has eyebrows that are a kinda freaky at times, but her LEGS just made up for everything.

Basically, all I have to say is: I'M MOVING ON TO HAPPY ENDINGS SEASON 2 BABEH~

It's Europe for me in 31 hours! *eggcited* But:

My luggage is no where near packed (ok it's empty :/)
My allergy medicine ran out
I have my luggage case but I can't seem to find the key
I dunno whether I have enough socks. WTF my feet will just freeze and I'll fall and you'll find my dead body on the pavement where I fell :'(
The last time my uncle told me the "important" points he heard from the tour briefing, I was half-asleep so I kinda nodded him off? Hopefully whatever that I need to take note of will all be found in the papers from the tour agency.

Hell yes, everything will be fine:) I have faith in the lessons I learnt from whatever travelling experience I had (Y) Will do a pre-trip post tomorrow, and hopefully during the trip if there's free wi-fi :)

While everyone's spazzing over MAMA, I went out to IMM instead to escape all the internet diarrhoea (<---- omg for the first time I got this spelling right in one go!)

So on twitter I said I would be blogging about the fabulous One Direction dream I had last night (or morning? I slept at 2:/) Ok here it goes:

I walked out of my room and for some reason I forgot, the room next to mine is got rented out to Wilber Pan(潘玮柏) and Leehom (王力宏).

Then they were best buds with One Direction, so they lent the room to 1D for some event when I stepped out of my room.

When I saw them I started screaming "Holy shit! WTF one direction doing in my house?????!!!!" but weirdly they didn't seem to hear anything and went about doing normal stuff like lolling on the sofa. Sounds normal but no! Imagine ZAYN nua-ing on YOUR sofa like your usual hobo self? Though I was never really crazy about them, but my sofa never looked hotter ;)

Some stuff happened in between but I forgot, then a big bunch of weird people came into my house. Ok they're not really weird, I mean they're my friends, it's just that some of the people who "came" are the ones who'll never come to my house in real life. 1D continued lolling like before, and started telling everyone about their upcoming showcase in McDonald's.

Along the way Leehom and Wilber plonked into the picture and began bear-hugging 1D, going "Yo brudda!" "Whassup dawg" yea you get the drift. I forgot what happened next, but soon we began camwhoring with 1D. The best part of the dream was when I got to sit between zayn and the harry (<---- in the dream I just couldn't figure out what was his name so I called him curlywurly and he didn't seem to mind :p) and camwhore.

AHAHHAHAHAHAHA

Towards the end of my dream some crazy bitch appeared with her equally insane sister and daughter. They tried to stop me from going out saying rubbish like,"Sisters are not supposed to step out of the house!" in those high-squeaky voices. Hahahaha it sounds funny now, but in the dream I went bonkers and punched her. Weirdly, she didn't get hurt e.g no bloody noses etc and I dunno why. At this point of time 1D was still lolling on my sofa, Wilber Pan went MIA, and Leehom had boxing gloves on and started to look more like Emil Chau (周华健).

The crazy bitch still won't let me out so I got fed up and wanted my sofa back. This is the super anti-climax moment, but I WOKE UP. Ta-daa end of story.

Overall the dream was superb cos it's the first time I dreamt of more than 5 famous people in one dream. My last dream-with-famous-people consists of FTI's Hongki, Jong Hoon and Jaejin, plus GD. That was in 2009 when I was nuts over Jong Hoon. That dream was really cool cos it was also my first and so far only BLACK & WHITE dream. Yes, I do remember my dreams. Just not in details.

I give you permission to laugh at this post (though I guess you're prolly laughing already. I don't give a shit really cos I'm laughing at my post too hahahahhahahahahahahha)

OH MAH GAWD...Y SO GORGEOUS?

Though the photoshoot was all cigarettey, I'm really lovin' it! Partly cos 1) T.O.P's in it, 2)I've always liked the shoots of Harper's Bazaar/Elle/Vogue. Usually I'm quite against smokers, but you see, when there's the likes of T.O.P and a lit ciggy in a pic, which one do ya look at?

Obviously T.O.P right! The ciggy will just blend into the pic as some random white stick that somehow ended up between his fingers/in his mouth.

Kay nuff said about the shoot. I want to continue with FH3, otherwise known as 法政先锋3 by TVB. I just finished watching the whole thing ytd night. The ending was slightly abrupt compared to FH and FH2, but I still like this season for their awesome cast (ron ng, kate tsui, aimee, need I say more?). The cases were so so, cept for the second 天眼少女case which was freaked me out, more about that later. Yknow how we prefer watching dramas by ourselves sometimes so we can say whatever we want? Here's the top 5 phrases that pops out of my mouth during FH3:

numba 1: CRAP CRAP CRAP *hides under blanket*

When: Eerie scenes esp the ones during the 天眼少女 case. Crickets, dark nights, abandoned temple, creepy girl...

numba 2: WHAT'S WRONG WITH ______?!

When: Mostly during Ah Jay's case, when the psycho bitch starts smiling evilly and say mean things.

numba 3: GOD THEY LOOK SO GOOOOOOD TOGETHER!

When: most of the dating scenes of jim and mandy, wind and mdm ling, ken and angel.

numba 4: Y SO SAD? :'(

When: eva's divorce vid to pro sir and the scene when bonnie's killer is caught.

numba 5: I KNOW WHO'S THE KILLERRRR! why am i so smart? B)

When: nearing the end of almost every case cept for a few.

*deep manly voice*gotcha!

awww shucks.

Since a long long time ago when I'm a baby/todd, I've always kinda learnt things weirdly. Like how sometimes you're supposed to learn A then B, but instead I learnt B then A. My mom said that I just jumped from learning how to stand to walking, but never learnt how to crawl. Something like that.

Then I learnt how to fry an egg before learning how to crack it. And how to build a fire before learning how to strike a match. Yknow the teeny bits and pieces of stuff you somehow have to pick up in life. It's quite stupid actually. And terribly annoying.

So anyways, you know most people, ok la most of the people I know, learnt how to cycle before learning how to do other stuff like skating. For me, I've picked up skating since god knows how long ago, but I somehow just never learnt how to cycle on a 2 wheel bike. This sounds loserish, but whatever, I'm damn bloody proud that YES, I PICKED UP CYCLING IN 2 HOURS TODAY!

Thankyou Nic ang! So yea spent my afternoon at bishan before watching Happy Feet 2. <---- Srsly, Pa and I thought that it was like a freaking propaganda movie:O Definitely not the best cartoon ever, I got kinda bored in between. *yawns* Having adorkable characters doesn't get the film anywhere in my movie good books, tho' it's a plus point-.- Between Tin Tin and HF2, Tin Tin's an obvious winner for me:)

1 hour ago, I was trolling at Salted Caramel with vivvy, sam, mel and lynnette, with sore shoulders, tired hands amd mud splattered calves, stinking up the whole place with the smell of mud. (Y) Gosh the ice cream there was *o*

Now that I'm all clean, and waiting for the dan picture to load, I figure I might as well blog a bit.

Today was so far the most productive day i had in the week. Did a whole morning of gadgets, almost dying of exhaustion since I forgot to eat my brekkie. My arms felt like noodles after malloting D: Springy dangly noodles. Afterwards it was our pioneer lecture, which was fun, minus the fact that I once again, almost died, this time due to heat stroke.

Hey, I'm not a weakling, since I know at least 3 more people who had so many close encounters with death today. It's just a proof that we actually do put in truckloads of effort to do stuff. Now all I need to do is to remember how to strike a match. Haven't done it since like sec1 :/ K bye off for dinner!

SHUCKS I'M LOVIN' THIS NEW SKIN!

Ok it succeeded:) It's bloody 3am now, and I'm supposed to be snoozing. Raaah too bad sleep doesn't want to hit me:/

Life's pretty awesome now. But I don't know whether it's the gloomy weather or what, I'm feeling pretty grey throughout the whole day. Things are great, and I've cleared up most of my room, i just don't get why I don't really have the thrill in me:(

*sighs* this is like a huge warning bell to me: I NEED TO GET OUT SOON. Literally, there's a desperate need for me to skip this town. I don't even mind sentosa, at least it's an offshore island. Don't mind me if I sound a lil down these days, it's the usual me in the rainy months that's all. I just respond well to nature that's all:)

I know I'm super late, but yes I just finished watching 大武生 for the first time one minute ago.

For those who haven't watched it, this movie is basically about 2 guys (by Han Geng and Wu Chun) who were trained to be chinese opera actors since young. Then after they grew up and left the ulu mountain for the glamorous city, yknow the usual shit happens. So the whole movie revolves around scandalous affairs, deception and feuds, and the extra punch comes in when they weave in chinese opera antics into the whole process. Blablabla in the end Barbie Hsu died, Han Geng became a mute and Wu Chun became a cripple (aka bai ka).

Generally the movie was pretty awesome for an action film. Cos most of the actions inside have an extra artistic flair, making them appear to be levels above the good ol' Jackie seemingly mindless furniture bashing and never-ending kicking+boxing. Plot wise, I only like the twist at the end, other than that it was pretty predictable in between. PLUS, the sleek hair, tailored suits, fur coats and pointy leather shoes made this whole movie so darn enjoyable! <---- That's not a shallow comment, c'mon we're all very visual beings.

But, if it were me right, I would replace Liu Qian and Barbie Hsu with Louis Koo and Zhou Xun respectively. Hahahahahaha they'll prolly steal all the limelight from Wu Chun and Han Geng.

Oh oh, and I swear so many websites totally mislead people about the movie. With this pic *points down at culprit*

Disclaimer: I DID NOT watch the movie cos of it, but I thought it'd be nice to tell you about it. Because apparently quite a number of people felt "cheated" by it.

Ok so by natural instincts, a scene like that often lead people to think that there was some hot, intense & steamy sex scene before it, right? Sorry to disappoint the perves out there: NO THERE IS NO DESIRABLE SEX SCENE, unless you count in the smooching which happens in every other romantic movie. So it's just smooch smooch with clothes on then BAM! the clothes magically disappeared and there you have it, da scene. I don't blame the directors, I mean after all, Barbie's married already.

Yupps, do watch this movie if you haven't. It's not a mind-boggling, ground breaking movie, but definitely a great choice when you're looking for something new. :)

This is an attempt to make me like chinese more. And I think it's working!!!!!!

WongFu's vid is as awesome as usual, god and Leehom's lyrics (please ignore the accent) makes everything so much better! I think Chinese and Korean (not sure about jap since I was never into them) lyrics are more meaningful/descriptive, while English songs have nicer and catchier tunes.

My life is now slightly more interesting than the orbituary section of the newspapers. In other words, I'm pretty much better off dead )':

If I'm to record my life these days down, it'll pretty much look like a food log. Which is what I'm about to do. Eating like a starving buffalo, doing chinese like a maniac, reading chinese novels/books, man, THIS IS NOT THE LIFE. I swear once Nov 10 is over, to the pool I'll go. Idgaf if it's the monsoon season. It's either the pool or the gym.

Saturday was Halloween at Rachel's. Lazy to blog much but it was fun.
Ate: Saybons and Yami yoghurt for lunch. Countless fruit kebabs, marshmallows, lemon meringue, zucchini-tomato-herb-yoghurt sauce spaghetti, beef balls, tanghoon, apple chocolate for dinner. My dad and I tried SCOOPZ at upper thompson for the first time, had peanut butter ice cream, one of the shiok-est things to do at 12am! Let me skip dinner anyday in exchange for supper. NOMNOMNOM.

Wasted half of Sunday sleeping, before heading to NLB HQ at Bras Basah and Causeway Point.
Ate: Porridge for lunch. Rollercoaster, rochor tau huay(the best beancurd ever!) and you tiao for snack. Dian xiao er for dinner. Plus some other rubbish I snacked on at night.

Rotted in school doing yes, chinese, and torturing myself with compre and letter-writing): Headed to Nex afterwards with Nic, who spent the whole morning trolling on her bed and shaving her legs -.-
Ate: Egg for brekkie. At least 5 of Val's mega-sweet-diabetes-causing cookies for snack. Hot Tomato's student lunch special: sirloin steak and aglio olio (wl they cheated. Seriously "medium" does not and never will mean "well done at the side and medium in the center") and $4.60 worth of sogurt for lunch.

Totally piggify-ing myself now. I should grow a curly wurly tail and start snorting. *oink*

Da time for revival has arrived!

Life after EOYS had been pretty good. But I gotta really buck up, still have my Chinese O coming in like 2 weeks. D: Hope watching chinese dramas will help:(

School's pretty much a snore now, 'cept that we got this huge ass stack of chinese papers to 'enjoy'. Games carnival today was okay, had lotsa fun playing soccer with Charity. But we seriously lived up to our heck care status huh, compared to some other classes:)

These days I spent most of my time watching dramas likeaboss. Heh heh heh. First it's 步步惊心, now it's 法证先锋3. LIFE IS GR8!

So far I finished all that can be found online for 法证先锋3, but 步步惊心 I still have 6 episodes left. Dang to be true I was a tad annoyed with Rouxi at the starting, cos no matter how hot Kevin Cheng might've been in previous shows, in 步步惊心 he just struck me as some old chikopeh. You can picture me going "Go away you lao ti ko!" whenever he goes loveydovey with Rouxi at the front episodes. Meh I was so happy when Rouxi finally left him and went with Nicky Wu (fourth prince). And even happier when Rouxi ended up with 14th Prince, the ultimate hotshot in the cast :) Overall this show is kinda depressing, but addictive.

As for 法证先锋3, despite missing the baldy, otherwise known as Bobby Au Yang in real life, I actually like this cast better than the previous one! Especially Mandy, the senior forensic pathologist, but I call her the body-opener. She should've been in the prev seasons luh where was she? >(

I'll drive this open top car and let my notes fly around, yelling "I'VE GOT A WHOLE LOTTA MONEY BUT I STILL PAY RENT, COS I CAN'T BUY A HOUSE IN HEAVEN~" and drive back to my near-heaven house.

I'll have a rainbow peeing unicorn for a pet, with nyan cat as it's little toy.

I'd have my own flavour of Snapple, just like Maroon 5. With a cooler name of course.

I'd pay Drake's hairdresser/stylist to change his hair. Hahahhaa I can't not say this cos I just came across a pic of Drake. I bet the hairdresser used to cut hair for our army boys and decided to do the same for drake. Habits are hard to kick off yknow.

I swear, control is the seed for rebellion.

Can you guys just please, for once, accept or at least admit the fact that, NO, everything is NOT totally under your control. I'm not just loser department that you operate, accepting orders without asking why. Guess what, I love asking why. And I love it more when I see how mindfucked you are when y'all try to find a reasonable answer. This is my life, I'm not obliged to send you reports on what I'm doing. Oh, do I need to send in my activity proposal three working days in advance for you to approve? Even my parents don't do that, what more you. I genuinely feel sad for your kids, for allowing y'all to manipulate them like that. But that doesn't mean that I'm gonna jump into the sad river and drown in sadness with them. The best I can do is to stand at the edge, hoping to throw a life buoy at them, if they ever catch it or know what it is.

You see, even Bob accepted it. Nuff' said, all I'm wishing for is that I'll get to go overseas to study for a few years. That will save me from wasting my precious youth under your control. Ohemgee.

Had a blast shopping with nic, shi hui, jillian, vivvy and fen today. Need I say more about how I LOVEEEEEEEEEE thai express's pina colada? It'll be my holiday goal to learn how to make it. Walked about Orchard till my feet hurt like nobody's business.

EOYS are overrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! If I'm bruno mars, I'd be writing a whole album of songs just about the eoys-are-finally-fucking-over feeling:D

Generally, I'd rank eoys 8-9 on the scale of hardness. Though I managed to finish all 'cept for 2 of the papers. To be true, I don't really know what I was writing in my physics paper. It's just plain madness. I just sat there, with a good hour and loads of unanswered questions. So I decided that maybe I can try and save myself by scribbling the remnants of bullshit I tried memorising the day before. Ahahaha I "finished" the paper, but as I said, I have no idea what I was writing.

Had a blast yesterday night re-watching the shallow and bimbotic chic flicks in my comp. Mark Ruffalo was so sweet and cute in 13 going to 30! Yea it continued today. Halfway through I decided to watch something knowledgeable, and Food Inc. came into the picture. I swear after watching it, you'll never see a corn or a chicken that simply again.

Did this post quite sometime ago. Wanted to post it but it just slipped my mind:P

OMG I MUST GET THIS OFF. I. AM. A. SELF-DECLARED. SHOEADDICT.

I swear these days I end up look at shoes more often than I look at clothes! :O I know it's kinda weird yknow, looking at people's feet but it's ok, I forgive myself:) Ok apparently when people first started having shoes, there's no left shoe and right shoe. So that leaves people walking around in lil-box-like things on their feet. Ahahaha.

Then some dude, a freaking genius, decided that NO, we'll not wear boxes anymore! We'll have stuff that really fits our precious feet. And yes, I'll be flooding this whole post with shoesshoesshoes till I'm tired.

FLATS. Not a big fan of flats, so I never really bothered looking at them. But I can't live without them. I have this crazy pair of silver flats that pulled through all sorts of challenges e.g. rocky roads, beach, construction site etc and still lasted all well and comfy. Ahaha maybe that's why I became too lazy to shop for more flats. The best part is that flats go along with almost anything, esp the plain ones. Heh heh but I promise myself to get another pair once exams are over. I need to do my silver ones some justice, and not force it to last any longer than it should:) Sad to say, I really cannot tahan those kind of glossy flats with the big ahma buckle on it, it's just SAD ok.

BOOTS. Idk I call these kinds of boots doc marts, but yea they're boots. They're all grungy and preppy, though it's kinda weird when some people with very fair skin wears the black ones w/o leggings. Ok that sounded racist but it's not yea. Saw one person doing that in real life and it just cuts off so much of her legs and made her look short. Unless you have model-like long and nice legs, I think it's better to pair these boots with leggings of similar colour, or partially cover it with jeans. Once saw this person pairing it with cool legwarmers and it's so darn pretty :)

HEELS. They're one of the sexiest things on earth. Esp the kind with platforms. They just add sooo much to an outfit (no, I don't mean the neither-here-nor-there-short heels. The stubby lil heels just turns me off). Bringing in their low comfort level, they usually fall in "Look, Love, Leave" category. Sometimes things are just so pretty, it hurts.

SNEAKERS. Heh I know these aren't the usual kinds but it's so adorable! At this point of my life, and prolly forever, sneakers are a must to have. But they're not as versatile as flats, like you can't wear them to as many occasions. Then again, does it matter? :) Comfort, check. Durability, check. Trendiness, I guess they don't ever go out of fashion so check. Makes much more sense to splurge on sneakers than to spend a little more than usual on other kinds of shoes.

FLIP FLOPS. Or slippers. This is the ultimate comfort champion (Y) Not the glossy slippery kinds. I mean the real spongy and uber comfy kinds that you'll gladly slip on whenever you can :D Flip flops can be a part of our national costume, along with tees, tanks, shorts (for girls) and bermudas (for guys). Picture Ms Singapore '12 in our "true blue national costume". C'mon even if she doesn't win, we should be able to get some epic-dress special commendation. ;)

These few days have been really tiring, both physically and mentally.

Physically cos I've been getting less than 6 hours of sleep each day (no that I had many to begin with), and mentally cos I was indirectly forced to stuff for people I don't like. But I feel that I've learnt more about the people around me.

I saw how ugly relationships, powered by greed and selfishness, can be.

I saw how true love and empathy can withstand the challenge of material desires and time.

I learnt how at the end, it's not about us being a big boss, driving a big car, having more money that we could possibly spend, having the most prestigious degree, living in a posh house, wearing the branded goods, eating the finest food, travelling to the most exotic destinations, that matters.

It's whether at the end, we can safely assure ourselves that we have given it our all to make our lives as well as others' lives the best they can be; whether we can sleep knowing that those whom we love loves us back as much; whether we have turned our dreams into real memories; whether we can look back and go,"Damn, those times were great, but greater times lies ahead.", that truly counts.

I felt sad for the strangest reason. I honestly don't give a shit about him, but thinking about his wife, how she had spent so long waiting for things to just go back to where they began, it touched me right there. I felt sad for my dad too, having to face such things once he touches ground.

You know how "family" is defined as a group of people related to each other, often by blood?<---- I think that's bullshit. In my dictionary, "family" means something more. It's a group of people who genuinely care for you without giving a hoot about the world. I know I can be a horrible relative to have, but it's too bad, I'm that judgmental. Being a part of my blood family doesn't get you anywhere near me, being a part of my "real" family does.

NOPE nothing, I swear, nothing exciting enough for me to go into a blogging frenzy has happened to me in the past 10 days. GAWD just shoot me please:(

At this age, we're supposed to play like there's no tomorrow and go tanning at the beach with a nice picnic everyday.

But the truth sucks. And the truth is, we all can't not mug. With a few exceptions here and there, but generally that's how sad our lives are. If I'm paid to mug, I'll prolly be so darn rich, that I can hire Bill Gates to be my fucking doorman. All he does will be to open and close my big-ass door.

Strip Me Lyrics
Everyday I fight for
All my future somethings
A thousand little wars
I have to choose between
I could spend a lifetime
Earning things that I don't need
But that's like chasing rainbows
And coming home empty

And if you strip me
Strip it all away
What would you find
If you strip me
Strip it all away
I'll be alright

Take what you want
Steal my pride
Build me up or cut me down in size
Shut me out but I'll just scream
I'm only one voice in a million
And you ain't taking that from me
Oh no no you ain't taking that from me x4

I don't need a microphone yea
To say what I've been thinking
My heart is like a loudspeaker
That is always on eleven

And if you strip me
Strip it all away
What would you find
If you strip me
Strip it all away
I'll be alright

Take what you want
Steal my pride
Build me up or cut me down in size
Shut me out but I'll just scream
I'm only one voice in a million
And you ain't taking that from me
Oh no no you ain't taking that from me x4

Cos when it all boils down
At the end of the day
It's what you do and say
That makes you who you are
Makes you think about it think about it
Doesn't it
Sometimes all it takes is one voice

Take what you want
Steal my pride
Build me up or cut me down in size
Shut me out but I'll just scream
I'm only one voice in a million
And you ain't taking that from me
Oh no no you ain't taking that from me x4

Imagine.

You wake up every morning and walk into this cosy private library of yours. There, you can choose to sit by your huge-ass padded window-seat with frilly curtains overlooking a garden and enjoy a coffee-and-me time, or simply choose one yummy read off the shelves and head off for brekky. Wait, you don't even have to choose a book, cos every book's so nice you can be satisfied with any random one you picked out:)

After a long day outside, you get back home, to be welcomed by the smell of paper and ink... Ok I know it's not the kind of smell that you'll consider as nice, but it's more of those warm smells? Like how babies and grannies smell, the kind that makes you fuzzy inside:) The dark polished shelves all weighed down by books with gorgeous cover designs. They're so darn pretty they might as well stay unread and be decorations instead. But the books themselves are worth so much more inside, so somehow you'll read all of them teehees.

The library will be those with the uber cool mobile ladders, in the same dark shade as the shelves. I think these ladders are so classy and romantic (<---don't ask where did that come from), and that's the only reason why I really like Kinokuniya @ Ngee Ann. Whatever.

Climbing up and down a ladder is obviously tiring, but it's ok since you've got a whole roomful of cushions, rugs and sofas to laze on. And when reading is wearing you out a little, you can always get up and feed an adorable goldfish that exists somewhere in the library somehow. Or oogle at all the quirky and odd stuff displayed along your shelves. Or just simply lie down on the floor and stare at your sparkly chandelier twinkle.

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwddddddd I want a personal library so badly!

I really love books, and having gorgeous libraries like these makes reading even better than before! Ahhhhh someone just get me a private library like these with food not-so-far-away, like far enough not to make me keep eating, but near enough to let me find food easily when I'm hungry. AHAHAHAHA I can just stay there and die happily in peace. (Y)

*blows dust off blog*

I know I know it's been a long time since I'm here. The holidays have been pretty much a snore for me so I can briefly cover what happened these days damn quickly. I think.

Fine, Saturday was an outing with Nic. We wanted to queue to get into H&M, but the stupid queue so long it's beyond ridiculous. Honestly I don't even know whether I'm gonna buy something there anw. So we went up to f21 instead and watched the queue. And it seems like we're not the only ones doing so too! Hahaha. Blablabla shopped, ate at Wendy's (Y), shopped somemore, and headed home. Attended Cat High Scouts' campfire at night. The cub scouts were damn cute >.< Spent the whole night high-ing with melly, sam, jillian and yifen + the rest of the aweshum guides. FIREWORKS & ORANGE UNDIES

The next few days were spent rotting and failed-studying. Thurs was a picnic>basketball>MONOPOLY day at Yuehui's. Monopoly money seemed to be coming in too easily, so behold DEALS, TREATIES, INSURANCE, DANGER ZONES etc. Man this game never gets old! Yesterday was my cool toy-wrapping CIP, lunch was epic as Bernice yaddered about her younger bros. Laughed so hard I swear bishan mosburger hates me now:/

As for todaye, I retardedly went to NAFA thinking that there was lesson. But no and idgaf that this is just another one of the many idiotic moments of my life :( Heh but it was awesome really spent my "lesson" popping into the Straits, hogging books at Kinokuniya, and slurping Vietnamese kuay teow for lunch. Got dropped off at the Guides HQ, and stayed there for 4 hours mainly discussing the badge designs with the adorkable ms gwee! Plus helping out a lil at the shop with Nic and Amanda. Ohmy saw so many incredible overseas badges there it's a lil wonder why ms gwee wants more nice and colourful badges to "match up". I love the canadian with treasure chests, lobsters, MERMAIDS and fishes.

---continuation from prev post---

Moving on to today:
Woke up and did some Chinese before getting out of the house. On my bus ride to Vivo, I passed by the Bukit Merah and Queenstown area, and it struck me then that I haven't been in that area for godknowshowlong :o (No, I don't count going to the Bt Merah polyclinic with a fcuking high fever as "going" to the place. I swear I was too burnt up then to give a shit about where I am.) So yea hahaha small miniscule waves of nostalgia rushed in as the buildings roll by.

Met and lunched with my pri school mates yinying, tianmin, yunyang, guian, ruocheng, yonghwee and marvin before heading off to SAFRA at Mount Faber for bowling and pool. Hahahaha bowling was so-so and yes I did improve from last time but it still wasn't enough to save me from embarassment. Yknow bowling and I just never really went hand-in-hand.

Tried pool for the first time as well. Technically it's not really my first time if you count playing someone's leftover game when I'm 6yrsold not knowing what the hell I was doing then yea. We had this Noob Table and Pro Table. You can pretty much figure out which table I played at. But whatever things get funnier there anyway, e.g. desperate attempts to blow the balls into pockets, hitting the opponents' forehead with the stick, and a hell lot of other distractors. It was really great meeting and catching up once in a while, so thanks guys!

Left halfway at round 4 and bused/mrted to Shaw House (again) to catch CRAZY STUPID LOVE with tessa, jiaying, pheebs, cow and shihui. Steve Carell was hilarious, and Ryan Gosling charmed the socks off everyone with his photoshop-perfect body and sexy smirk. Okokok I must get back to topic. CSL is an absolute bang-for-buck movie for pretty much everyone who likes movies. It's not just a normal romantic chick flick comedy for girls, I mean I saw lots of guys watching it and laughing like nutcases, and whoever who has extra cash and time should just get their butts into the theatres and watch it. I swear it made all the rushing totally worthwhile!

omfg I was trying so hard not to post these photos but couldn't help it hahahahaha

Ate dinner and mucked around a lil before heading home. Hahahaha today was so awesome like srsly had lots of fun and RYAN GOSLING to wrap up the day! Ohhs, and ask me anything http://formspring.me/imcarnation ;)

As promised here's my blog update!

Let's start with yesterday:
It started off with a lao kui BANG - teachers' day performance. I only thought SO, Choir and sec2 dance girls plus that omfgly talented Jaz(?) Loh were awesome. Yadderyadderyadder mooched around with mel sam cow and vivvy, waiting for the performance to be over. We had this romantic balcony endeavour with our guiders. It's a beautiful day, we're looking for something dumb to do. Hey Guiders, we really really love you! Ohmy, our guiders will all have at least one balcony declaration to haolian about! :D JKJK. Went around giving my ridiculous teachers' day presents.

some funnier oranges:

HITLER ORANGE!

the juicy family of tattooed oranges

The 2 leftover oranges were not spared either

Teehees. In case you're wondering, they are sitting happily in the fridge. I'm gonna eat the tongue one tomorrow. So afterwards it was Glee Concert Movie in 3D at Shaw House with xen, nic, shihui, vivvy and mel. For a non-Gleek like me, the movie was pretty much a snore. I swear I almost fell asleep at the front part. But the movie was ok, I mean their voices are great and all. Butbutbut I cannot stop stressing on the fact that Queen's original version of "Somebody to Love" is wayy better than Glee's one. I don't care about the other songs cos Glee really made some songs sound better than the original ver. For the legendary Queen it's a different thing. #QUEENforever

I must admit it was pretty heartwarming to see how Glee inspires and motivates some people. Shi Hui was groovin' and movin' during the whole movie, like singing and shaking for weird reasons, and the whole row was vibrating like a mad cow. Me, being 2 seats away from me, didn't know that a party is going on at her place. Instead I thought that the couple next to me was making out, causing the shaky seats:( HAHAHHAHA

Walked around for a while bef heading home.

Short rant here before another proper post at night.

So bloody annoyed. One point to note, I don't get controlled by people, much less you. Don't like what I do, LIVE WITH IT. If your brain's a circuit, then it must be a short one, cos I have no idea how did you manage to interpret things that fcuking far.

Going out ---> date
Eating less ---> anorexic
Using com ---> naively chatting with random perverts online
Going out without telling ---> meeting your black society gang and whallopping the daylights out of people
Talking quickly cos you need to pee ---> you're sick and tired of her and wants her to stfu (which in most cases, YES)
Talking through locked/closed room door ---> you're hiding something omg \(*o*)/
Wearing shorts ---> why not bermudas? you must be up to something! *points gun*

Let me be honest with you, no one's hiding anything. But if you think that I am, then it really is your fault cos at the rate you're going, I can't not hide some things. I'm not some remote-controlled toy then you can control, and I don't give a shit if some other kids are. Suck on that, bitch. It's time to grow up.

Life's been going pretty well for me these few days:D

*Great Eastern ad music starts playing outta nowhere*

Finally found the motivation to study a little, and the rest of the time was spent finishing Big Bang Theory S4, watching Freakonomics (it's like the amazing Super Size Me but a lil' heavier in content), and just doing totally random stuffies. *applauds self*

The brains behind it all:

random but this guy talks like ms poore. throughout the movie all i could think was "ms poore twin talking" "ms poore twin laughing" "ms poore twin being smarter than he already is"

it's ok you can call me a geek. *puts frames on and pose*

Lessons today were pretty ok, minus the fact that I had to define Communism in a three-quarts-asleep mode:( And after like a million years, I finally got my pretty lil' profi badges to spice up the life in the smurfy blue land of loneliness on my sleeve:D Tomorrow's Glee movie date, Fri's my juggle between meeting pri school mates and movie+shopping date with the 2faith'10 clique, Sat's H&M's opening (nic wants the umbrella) and sun's godknowswhat.

Was a total pig today. It started with roti prata in recess, 5 slices of charsiew skinny-dipping in an equally fat bowl of Ramen Play ramen soup during lunch, and finally, spucy Thai food at Bugis for dinner. '(00)' oink oink

Headed straight home after blowing up my pocket at Ramen Play (screw gst and service charge), and had my long awaited nap and watch more bbt. Yea you can guess my whole day was pretty much spent pigging out:/ Just now I watched a movie I've been wanting to watch for sooooooo long. Yesh it's ARTHUR. (synopsis here)

Despite the reviews, this movie really gets 11/10 stars to me. Or maybe it's cos it reminded me of somebody at some parts. It was supposed to be a comedy, but I cried so badly for a good whole 10 minutes at the part where Hobson is all ill and dies. I'm a sucker at these :'( *sniffles* But I love the plot, love Arthur (Russell Brand), Naomi (Greta Gerwig), love Hobson (Helen Mirren), love the scenes, love the humor, LOVE THE MOVIE.

At times of peril, keep calm and let it pass. Peace comes to those who persevere. There are only that many cherries on the pie, so get it while you can lest others take it. Then you can skip sitting there and staring at the leftover cherry pits.

Feeling totally numb about all that's going round me. My grades, at the very least. I don't have a plan on what route to take, poly or jc, which school to go to, which job I want (which will affect what I get myself into next time)...... I'm just living life day by day, trying so hard not to look into the future, which remains as a fuzzy image of things you can't describe while others already have plans that extended beyond their university years:o Talk about planning ahead of time huh.

But why must I think so far now? It's not like I will end up anywhere that bad right. No matter what, I'll still reserve my basic rights and still can move on in life. Our journey is gonna be an arduous one, full of setbacks and twists and turns and new elements, so I'm not gonna make my travel any harder by lugging a plan along. It's gonna stay locked up in a lil' hole as I continue going steadily with the flow.

As mentioned on FB, I'm here to do a post on something that cracks us (or at least me) all the time. Yeappos deng deng deng deng! It's the ever-gross cheesy love quotes! Hahhahahahah I heard so many these few days I nearly died laughing.

a little extra ps work done during art.

Cheesy love quotes are seriously one of the best things ever. They're sweet, cute, funny, stupid, in a way romantic, nerdy, oddly smart(hey you gotta think a bit to make the quote funny. that's brainwork yknow) etc etc. And they bring your message across to the person while making the person laugh. HAHAHAHHA. Like you should be sin^2 Ɵ and I should be cos^2 Ɵ because together we'll be 1.

And sitting next to my current deskmate is not helping one bit. I'm like bombarded with these love quotes from the deadly "Nerdy Pick-up Lines" app. You must be modulus cos I always feel positive when you wrap your arms around me. Hahahahah I'll laugh and then freak out if whoever dates me next time says it to me. I'll call that moment the SNFLASHBACK.

Though life after CAs hasn't been all-that-great, with my frightening results creeping up to me everyday like a lil' bitch, lappie's been keeping my spirits up these days! I'm becoming sucha hardcore Criminal Minds & Big Bang Theory addict I should just bring my lappie to bed. AHAHHAHAHAHAHAH. Look at, laugh at , and love the nerds! They're like a broom that sweeps you off your feet.

Ok we're at the last part of this post now. Eh heh heh. For like the first time in so long, I finally have a plan on what I'm doing during my end of year hols. Yea my prev trips during dec were all rash, 5-3 days plans. So long as no one goes nuts and starts screwing places up, then yes, I'm going to EUROPE! :D With my cousins and gramps though, my parents are too busy planning for my bro's bigday. Although I have a feeling that the pace of the trip will be pretty fast, 5 countries in 10 days:/ Whatever, I'm still looking forward to it, cos I need to skip this town really badly. Trust me, I was all excited convincing my dad to bring me along if he goes to Vietnam in Dec, until this came along:D So look forward to a long post about it in Dec!

Decided to breathe in some life here today. I WANNA GO SHOPPING SO BADLY IDC I'M SO POPPING INTO BUGIS THIS WEEKEND. And Orchard next weekend. CA3 was horrible luh, just like a replay of CA1.

Shit. CA3 was anything but enjoyable. The tests were all so bloody hard, a further prove of my intellectual incapability ):

thanks a lot huh.

A real brief one here, cos I can't not talk about something I found out like 5 seconds ago. It was totally a coincidental find, I didn't like go dig it out on purpose. :O Ok one of my schoolmates got together with this guy I know not that long ago, and by pure chance both of them are my friends on fb. So yea I indirectly got to see the whole course of their relationship, the online version. And when I first saw that they're together, the annoying voice in my head immediately told me that they won't last.

And sure the voice was right, cos my coincidental find 5 sec ago was that they broke up. Now I feel like a meanbean, it's like I knew it all along, almost like counting down to the day my prediction will come true. I won't mind if the prediction is a good one, but too bad it's not, and I feel pretty guilty for it:/

Oh well, I always thought that their union was weird, so the breakup came along quite naturally, cos they both deserve someone better.

Here I am to update lest I lose a loyal reader. AH BEAT, YOU KNOW IT'S YOU DAMMIT.

Just came back from Macs after chillin' with Nic, Beat, Shar and Xenia. I can always talk for hours straight with GreyGuides and that's simply amazing given my short attention span. HAHAHAH. Was laughing like crazy over Sound of Music, "amazons", Nicole when she turns sixty and plays her guitar, and "Shut up Grandma".

Actually I'm kinda glad that beat reminded me to update my blog more regularly. Because I do have something to say. With all the talks about being unique, being "you", standing out, there are times I just wish whoever who said these things would stfu. As much as how everyone claims that they're open to innovation, creativity, ureka moments, the sad truth is: THERE ARE FAR LESS PEOPLE WHO ARE REALLY WILLING TO STAND ON THE OTHER SIDE WITHOUT OTHERS.

Don't worry I'm not going to launch into trashing our education systems blablabla, cos for this sad truth to exist, we have ourselves to blame as well. Many of us seem to be afraid of differences, whether or not they're good or bad. Most people are afraid to have the "wrong" hair, "wrong" clothes, "wrong" lifestyle, "wrong" partner, "wrong" friends, "wrong" ideas, "wrong" beliefs, "wrong" perspectives and the list goes on. What right do others have to define what's "wrong" for us in the first place?

Just because something is done differently, it doesn't mean that it's wrong. As long as the original purpose is fulfilled with minimal negative impacts, I don't see what's wrong with taking a different path in things. In some past events, we have experienced such issues before. Results/outcomes don't often tally with the truth, and I predict more of such things to happen in the future.

I'm not mad at the way some things turn out. I'm just mad cos due to this fear, many things didn't make it to reality, many dreams didn't come true, many ideas just went to waste, and many amazing changes didn't take place. That's all.

HAHHAAH to unwind from our horrendous stress web, I finally(oh yea) found time to watch Water For Elephants, a movie which I freaking stopped watching halfway last time cos it was getting late. I'm not really the animals kind of person, but I do have this thing for animals like elephants and horses. Not those furrywurry pets like dogs and cats though. Get away from me and stay if you already are. Anyways, I thought Twilight was unjust to Robert Pattinson after watching this movie. Honestly, I don't get why girls like his pale and vampirish look in Twilight. I always thought he looked like some sucky twerk who took drugs to be cool and end up being even more loserish than before. Ughhhhhh, he looks a million times way better in WFE!

How can you make someone look like this:

when he clearly can look like this:

Whatever it is, I can't really seem to find nice photos of him in WFE, so check out the movie if you haven't. Plot's a bit predictable though, but the circus idea was pretty unique. Kay that's all! And doing Physics with WFE was damn fun;)

There are so many things I want to do, and for a real funny reason, my life always seem to be so short to me. It's as though I'm counting my fingers, one, two, three, four, five. Five years gone.

Oh well, it's actually still too far to think about such stuff, but I know that there are def. a few accomplishable things I REALLYREALLYREALLY would want to do.

bungee jumping at some cool natural sight

travelling to cool places like tibet, russia, germany and india

try out the 5m diving board once more like in my goldstar test

There were times I kinda regretted cutting my hair, but as time passes, I accepted my rash decision and honestly, I will not hesitate to cut my hair any day now. Some said that girls with short hair are seen as intimidating, but if you are really that easily intimidated, then too bad for you. Cos I'm certain it won't be that hard to scare you off your balls. ;) Nuff said, let the pictures roll!

Not really a spam if you ask me, but that's all for today. Needa rush back to my sihan. I have nothing against girls with long hair, cos that's pretty as well.

Was so busy this whole week, I barely had enough time to sleep, much less blog): Monday was normal, Tuesday was o level oral, Wednesday was enrollment, Thursday was Racial Harmony Day, and Fri and Sat was the SAP conference. Whoosh, I'm wiped out. :P

Start with enrolment luh. Lugged the gifts and my food to school. The patrol games were more unusual but fun. Had the ceremony, followed by our potluck with lots of food going around, and a major photo-taking session. Bwahahahaha. Once again, congrats secones! Velcome to Guiding!

Next, RACIAL HARMONY DAY. Our class was like an explosion of colours omg. BOOMZ! Hahahhahaa wore my Indian costume to school. And like obviously, we won the prize for the Most Dressed class or something, yknow the class with the most number of people wearing costumes. Hehehehe. There was a hella picture taking as well, as expected.

Meet the Potters!

feelin' enLIGHTened ;)

Ok I'm lazy to post the rest of the pics, which can be seen on fb. Yeapps but RHD was a really wonderful day.

Next, SAP Conference. It was held at NYGH this year, so basically we spent both days in their campus. We were split into different groups according to our themes, and this year, we were together with nanchiau and jiyuan high school from Shanghai. On Friday we had our presentation, and Saturday we played games with primary schoolers and the overseas students. Didn't really take a lot of pics cos there was activities going on most of the time. But to sum it all up, it was a pretty awesome experience and our group people were all friendly and nice. Esp the dancer from nanchiau and this girl with bangs from jiyuan. ;)

But hey, it pays to have Garfield mooching about in the house, cos when you're feeling down, he's the man to hold you through!

"I'm not over-weight, I'm just under-tall."
"I'm not messy. I'm organisationally challenged!"
"When the lasagna content in my blood runs low, I get mean."
"If you wanna look thinner, hang around people fatter than you."
"You can scratch my chair, you can insult my mother, you can beat up my dog, and you can play with my rubber mousie...but you don't eat my food and you don't sleep in my bed."
"Good times are ahead! Or behind. Because they sure aren't here."

Bwahhahaah finally got my gold star cert and stuff today! :D I know it sounds stupid, but I went all the way to take the test just for my Swimmer's Badge. Without the Swimmer's Badge, I would've quitted swimming the starting of last year already.

Getting quite tired of writing bland and not-so-happy posts. But life doesn't get any better only till after CAs:/ I honestly do think that an average weekend should be extended by 1 day. That's all I'm asking for): Srsly I slept for 3hours+ on Friday night, rushing the conference slides, before waking up at 545 and going to school on Sat morning. I was pretty much in the FML mood the whole day due to lack of sleep>splitting headache>not-long-enough-nap>asshole in art class. But things became much better after a short spin around Bugis and fried mushrooms+sugarcane drink:)

Ok I shall talk more about the asshole in art class. I have nothing against afternoon NAFA classes, cos the lessons still go on the same way, except for yes, the asshole in the art class. -.- My art teacher isn't exactly fond of people using their phones during lessons, but I totally regretted not bringing my earpieces to class.

I've seen quite a number of weird people around, and this guy just made it into my collection of weirdoes-i've-seen-in-real-life. Congrats, not everyone gets in yknow! First he starts off with doing his sketch, which is perfectly fine, 'cept that he began talking to himself super loudly like it's no one's business: "Yesssssssssss...I've got it!" "SSSSSSSS, so stressed ahhhhhh~" "Let's try this again..." "Yessssssssssss...."
Not to be rude, but I had a strong temptation to ask him to get a room with his paper. Hahahahha srsly some of his self-talk sounds as though he's doing it with his sketch.

Yea and this self-talk maniac continued his conversations with himself as he went on to transfer his sketch and bla. For 3 bloody hours. If you read my tweets from 1-4pm yesterday, I don't sound like I'm having fun, at all. Plus, after all the self-talk and "I'm so stressed!!!"-es, his work didn't even reflect that much. Ahahaha, have fun feeling so "stressedddd!" when you start painting, asshole!

Other than that, afternoon class is pretty awesome, really;) And Val, I got your pressie! :D
