New blogskin! Yellow is currently my favourite colour, it's somehow so..retro! And rocket sneaker is Otsuka Ai's new single, which is rocking good. So download buy it if you haven't already! :D

The perfectionist in me is really a-killing, especially when I must get every single song on my iTunes tracklist properly edited right down to its genre, track no. and all that shit. Amazing how I can't channel this energy into my mugging, which as of now, is still scoring zero out of all the topics. At least I now know which topics are tested lah! 4A's, here I come! (Totally lah)

I just realised how sheltered I really am, and how lucky I am to have friends who are just nice, normal, fun to be around, and don't have vices like doing drugs and all that jazz. Which is why I never really understood all those anti-drug campaigns, sex education talks kind of thing, because I seriously thought those things and Singaporean teenagers were just mutually exclusive. Guess I was wrong, and it really scares me to think how you might not know the person you've known since kindergarten as well as you thought you did after all. The scariest thing is that I really much rather continue living in my little bubble than burst out of it and understand what's going on out there. How perfectly deluded I am!

Been writing again recently, and it amazes me how the things I never used to notice matter so much now - like how juxtaposing this word with another will make the message stronger, or using this word over another word will be better. Lit really does wonders, no?

So many things to get down to doing this holidays!
1) Get my papercraft materials finally! Why does NO PLACE in Singapore sell inkjet matte photo paper? :(
2) Perfect my cake-baking skill so I can bake myself a yummy rilakkuma cake for my birthday
3) Er, study.
4) Go crazy with GSS! ♥
5) Revamp my room, which is in a complete mess after 10 weeks of school!
6) Love myself more
7) Love my friends more

A lot more, but must end at 7, because 7 is the most wonderful number on Earth! Yay.

Feels like a Starbucks. Maybe will zip out to get one before getting started on my filing and all.

OMG, I can’t believe it’s nearing the end of Sunday already! Whatever happened to my first June Holiday weekend?

Watching the charity show on Channel 8 right now. Somehow, the news about the Szechwan earthquake didn’t really hit home before this, and now, watching all the clips and hearing all the thoughts of the remaining survivors made me realise just how lucky we are to live in Singapore where we are free of all these natural disasters. The worst thing is how we are really unable to do much to help, besides just donating what we can.




Anyway, a brief recount so far. Friday's assembly was what seemed like the longest assembly ever, with people going up on stage to announce their victories and all, and also the most crappy phone scam presentation possible. (Sometimes I wonder how some teachers expect us to respect them when they carry themselves in that kind of way) There was a presentation on SDD venues too! Yay, can't believe it's our turn to graduate soon.


And then finally, FULL DAY! :D I was so sure I was going to sacrifice my full day to finish up my Juno essay, but I ended up doing half of it in the council room and stoned around the rest of the time. And of course, kite flying with clara leow! The most random, spur of the moment thing, turned out to be so mind-blowingly fun. Can't wait for the next kite-flying session!


Love my beautiful kite. :)


Went home, rush rush rush to make her card, and left the house for Qianyu's birthday party! She looked really nice in her shimmery purple/pink dress. Can tell she really put in the effort to make sure we all had fun and enjoyed ourselves. And I conclude that the 25ths have more singing talent than the 24ths!



We left LTA at 11pm, and found the gates locked. So we had to climb the gates. It's a big achievement for me to have overcome my fear of heights to climb the stupid gate, and then I had to step on that stupid intercom thing and break it as I jumped from the gate. And irritating Jiahao had to take a video of me breaking the thing too. :(

Saturday was fun, but seriously the most freaky day I've experienced in a long time. It was supposed to be a fun day shopping, then watching the busking, and then going for harmoc concert, and it was fun, but still freaky.

Shopping was unproductive for me as usual, and Yan Wen spent the most again. She's really the ultimate shopper. Busking was great, although I didn't manage to catch any of Sandra's songs at all! Michelle, Shane/Mark's band were great though. My favourite part of harmoc concert was anthea/lynn's group song! HAHAHA, lynn's "wah, very hot orh" and anthea's inability to pronounce "moshi moshi, nani kore" cracked me up like shit. SO CUTE.

The Japanese pasta place Sarah didn't want to eat at with me the other time, and it was GOOD! I loved my wafu sauce pasta. :)

Giving in to Yuhan's love for mirror shots. This girl is officially more camwhore-y than I am.

Wooyeah! She looks so passionate when she plays the harmonica, she's like totally swaying along the the music!

Stephie, my council love. :D Your special someone was sitting behind me and I kept looking back to check what he was doing! HAHAHA.

So what was so freaky about the day? Besides the scratches I got from Friday's unfortunate gate-climbing incident, immediately after we left City Plaza, I found that I had lost one side of my earring. Then, at Marina Square, Yanwen broke her expensive Coach keyring. While leaving the place, some ah beng-ish guy shouted into her ear "F__ing pretty!", insulting her even while making a compliment. And then when we got onto the bus to Somerset, Yuhan found that she had lost her friendship band that we had just bought.

Isn't this just totally ominous already?

And then after the busking thing, I tried to help carry the stupid cymbals thing, and had to stupidly drop one of them on my left toe. It freaking hurt, but I was too stoned to register the pain until I got onto the cab, and by then it was bleeding like shit. Lesson learnt was that the cymbals come in a set of three, not two.

And now I'm reduced to walking with a limp. :( Ruined my plan of going to the beach tomorrow lah. Oh well.

This is a really long post, so I shall stop here and continue some other day, which might be days later since I'm going to Malaysia soon, and the next few days are supposed to be spent sleeping off my sleep debt. So yes, till the next post!

♥ 20:16

I realised that I'm a summer person through and through - I hate cold weather and I simply love the beach. And thus the conclusion that Singapore would be the perfect place to live in if not for lack of a reputable artistic scene.

Today's Lit lesson was one of the best we've had so far with mr teo, who's usually, sad to say, quite boring. We took a walk to ECP and sat at one of the pavilions to study Gwen Hardwood's At Mornington. Somehow the ocean had a really nice smell today, and it reminded me of Kew Gardens! How I would love to go back there again. And it all fit in really nicely, because I've always thought that the beach somehow had a morbid sense to it, but I never quite knew how to put that down into words.

And I guess I should have taken that to be a bad omen already, in addition to a sudden wish not to go for the soccer finals (despite eyecandy and all). Sadly, we lost.

Somehow it affected me a lot, even though I haven't been keeping up with soccer for a long time since, well, long time ago, and I had to suppress my tears when it all finally dawned on me that vj had been defeated. And I managed to refrain from using the f-word too, which I find a huge achievement since the opposing team were not-so-worthy opponents.

Admittedly I had given up early on into the second half, but I kept hoping for some kind of miracle which didn't happen eventually. And eyecandy was like, so sad! Dianne and I wanted to go up to him and hug him or something. HAHA. Seriously, I think no one really blames anyone on the team for the loss, so I hope nobody ends up depressed and all!

After the match we didn't really want to go home with our agitated feelings and all, and embarked on an adventure along with TFFZ to search for the elusive bubble tea. Amazingly, we spent approximately 40 minutes walking and walking, and amazingly, ended up at Bugis. Hilarious shit. Even though I wasn't really in the mood for bubble tea by then, I bought some really yummy milo freeze just to prove to chengyi I still wanted my bubble tea. HAHAHA.

Thank goodness for that walk too, because it appeased my feelings and I felt so much better when I reached home.

Contemplating whether to watch soccer match later at 2.30am, and whether I will fall sick tomorrow. Hmm.

Yay, I'm so glad I went for Perfect Fifth in the end, because it was really awesome! I especially loved the starting songs, Shabondama and Ai no Kurashi (not just because they are Japanese ok!), although I can't say the same for the ending song which couldn't make any impact on me. And the guest performer was really, really good. Of course I had to come home and search for the youtube video which has garnered 1.1 million views as of now.

I just totally love singer-songwriters like her, and of course my dear YUI and Otsuka Ai! If only I had that kind of talent...

The song is so addictive and catchy! I love the lyrics, they don't make much sense at first, but after a while it all just gets stuck in your head and makes meaning eventually, if you get what I mean.

Life moves along and it trickles down the cheeks of every beautiful boy
Time comes along and it breaks every bone in your spine

Don't really feel like going for ROM, but jovena will be sad and I will be pang seh-ing wuyue, so must drag lazy ass to fort gate later. :(

I can feel my blog gradually dying already :(

Couple days ago I was on the bus back home when there was this really freaky incident. I was sitting next to this auntie and her daughter opposite her (one of those four seats facing one other things). Suddenly this guy behind her tapped her and said "Auntie, auntie, do you have 50cents to lend me? I have no money with me now". The auntie refused fervently and I was starting to feel that she was extremely stingy and was prepared to lend him some money if he asked me. But he stopped asking and sat quietly for a few minutes.

Then suddenly, he tapped the auntie again and said in this really creepy voice "Auntie, auntie, have you ever witnessed someone being beaten up on the bus before?" And then he started laughing really eerily. I was so freaked out (but had to pretend I didn't hear anything) and I thought he was going to start beating her up! Then he started making random comments like "25 years already..." and laughing to himself. Therefore, I concluded that he just came out from the jail. D: Luckily for me I had reached my stop and quickly got up. HAHAHA, so cowardly right!

I'm starting to love match support again! I can get super high from the excitement of watching a game. I conclude that basketball matches are the best way to get my adrenaline rushing. But of course you must watch with enthu people lah, then can cheer like crazy. What really pissed us (stephie, jiahao and benneo) was that the 25ths just left the match halfway for soccer which already had more than enough people supporting (I suppose they didn't want to miss out on the fun) and just left the supporters there on their own. Novabelle was like starting all the cheers until we realised we should be helping so we went to the front and started leading cheers. Anyhow, Kenneth looks super scary on court. Like some big monster trying to scare all the opponents off. Hur hur.

Oh, and hearing gossips make me high too. Will now try my best to find out more about her conquest for _ _ _ _. Exciting yox.

♥ 14:45

Oh no, Ashlee Simpson's new album is BAD, like REALLY bad. :( At least her nose is nice, I guess?

It's Mothers' Day today, and we ate at some Istanbul eatery place, where the service was crap. Guess it's our own fault we forgot to book some place in advance, but seriously, I felt like I was talking to air everytime I tried asking for something! At least the Turkish waiter was quite pleasing to the eye. And it seems like every Mothers' Day I have no contribution at all. Maybe I should bake, or something. HAHA.

I wonder what kind of mother I'll be in the future, if I decide to have kids, that is. According to Facebook, I will make a good mother (potentially). LOL.

Think I'm supposed to say this to be politically correct, so "I forgive you", wayne teo. But I will definitely not forget. (and now I sound super petty)

For some strange reason I tend to be especially uptight when people spill things over me, which I happen to have some affinity to. So now I can add coke to my record of milo, soya bean, bubble tea and watermelon juice.

Choir concert tomorrow, yay. Can't wait for Wednesday too! :D

♥ 22:02

Seems like everyday's happy celebrations
and rejoice filling our empty hearts.

And so Happy Birthday Daryl Yong and Kwek Jian Nan! Time to be real men, now. :)

My heart was made for bleeding all over you
And I know you're married but I've got feelings too
And I still love you
--- I know you're married but I've got feelings too, Martha Wainwright.

Such scandalous lyrics, but the song's still nice and really rather sweet. I'm really into what I call
"a cuppa at teatime" music now. Soothing tunes and calming voices.

This week feels like a blur so far, and it seems as though everything has been pretty smooth sailing for me. Still trying to reconcile with the fact that I'm unable to become what I hope to be, and forgiving myself for that. And then again, there's the age-old cliche that no one's perfect, although I prefer to see it as everyone being perfect in their own ways.

And I don't know if I'm slow or what, but I finally read about the whole Josef Fritzl case. The only reaction I had was total, complete disgust. I really can't imagine what it's like being trapped in an underground cellar 24 years and being repeatedly raped by someone you're related to. It really is plain living hell. It's really a crazy world we're living in, ain't it?

So do your part and try to make this world a little less crazy by attending Rock off Malaria, 17th May, Fort Gate @ Fort Canning Park! :D (Token duty on my part for the beans)

Meh, I want a kigurumi, like the one below RIGHT NOW! Some kind soul buy my one for my birthday! Last I checked, they cost US$90. :(


Dressing up as rilakkuma will make my day, like seriously. xD

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO...

Dear OG head Shi Han, whom I actually got to know better after orientation, thanks to love for cheena music and common lectures.

Donovan, the sweets-giver with an injured arm. Get well soon!

Tien Leng, the little boy who has grown up, but is still a little boy.

Life of an 18-year old awaits you guys! :D

Dance concert yesterday was awesome fun! Thanks Yan Wen for going with me, enjoyed catching up about you and ____ :D and random gossips. Favourite dance was the Year 1 retro dance thingy, least favourite was, ironically, the one with the nicest costumes, the blue dress dance. I thought it was really boring. Overall, some really good stuff there, and it was fun watching some of my friends whom I never knew could dance that well, dance!

I love studying with wuyue, because she's clever and I can ask her questions about chemistry. HAHA. Although I only ended up studying like 8 pages of kinetics. Good job anyway, jiayi! Since she had to run off early, I thought I would be bored off my ass and was surprised to find quite a lot of people in the council room to entertain me. Ended up having dinner at this random eating place at siglap, and although I was squirming with discomfort (due to my hatred for hawker centres), it was fun! We met Stephie too, who was studying for her SATs. Yay, council spirit lives on. :)

Overall, Friday was a good day, especially since break was spent sitting opposite my favourite _ _ _ _, and not-so-obviously-I-hope ogling. :D:D

My house is becoming something like a post office, since everyone (hyperbole lah) is sending their online shopping loot to my house to pass to them in school. Seems like my parents are one of the rare nice ones who condone my online shopping habits. Only bad thing is that they are starting to think I have too much money to spend and insist that all those things are mine.

Randomly, I went for a run just now. This is just so I won't fail 2.4 on Monday again! =X Wish me luck, please.
