shopping

Wahahaha, retail therapy~

Bazaar in school.

May and I went crazy and bought too many things.

Shirts, jewellery, food, and hairstraightener!!!

Haha. Spent quite a lot of money, but at least it made me feel happier. WAHAHA.

I wanna show off my loot.

The bracelets I bought.

The other side of the same bracelet.

Another bracelet

Close up.

Pretty ring. meow~

Nice right?!?

And, the mini hairstraightener I bought..

So cute!!!

:D

Okay, enough of happiness. It's time to get back to the assignments.

:\

And I was thinking...

查无此人 他们说查无此人 童年只剩一张黑白的照片 提醒我在逃离保护以前 我有过一个简单 却又美好的世界

~ 《查无此人》陈小霞

Remember how we wished to grow up fast when we were young just to do what adults could do?

Well, this wish came true and we'll only want to yearn for more.

Now, we wish for time to slow down, so that we can stay youthful.

But no magic in this world can undo the effects time has on us.

Minds busied, hearts laden, when can we truly put down our burdens and be as carefree as we used to be?

EARTH HOUR 2010

Yup, Earth Hour is coming once again.
I still remember spamming my friends with smses telling them to switch off their lights last year.
Don't worry my dearest friends, I'll not sms you this year, because I want to save money $$.
Hehheh. BUT, don't forget to switch off your lights from 8.30pm to 9.30pm on the 27th March 2010!
:)

Alice In Wonderland

Finally caught Alice In Wonderland with Ken and Liz during the weekends. Well, I wounldn't say that it's the best movie this season, but it's sure worth a watch. Hello? It's Johnny Depp, yeah? He NEVER fails to make his characters come to life. Mat Hatter is one cool character which is just right MAD. Probably watching it in 3D would have been a better experience, but the timing for the 3D screening was simply too out of the way. Digital effects are appropriate in this out-of-reality movie, but it made some characters look robot-like. I believe cinema goers would have expected more, but as all should know, raising the bar too high is almost self sabotaging. HA!

Reason to why I am always broke.

Made a mad purchase of six CDs within two days not too long ago. Call me insane!

Okay, I didn't exactly pay for them all myself, most are shared with my sissy. She's becoming like me, tsk tsk tsk.  

Jacky Cheung's 'Private Corner'. Bought it for mummy as her birthday present. It's almost entirely Jazz, easy to the ears and very very 'upper-class' sounding. No more cheesy Cantopop for the God of Songs! Yeah! Haha. A little disappointment that there are no self-penned songs in this album, but who cares! At least he opened his mouth to sing once again and insert vibe in (once again shall I mention) the dying music scene of Hong Kong.

Recommended tracks: ALL, but I do have a personal favourite, [不只有缘].

Glee! Hello all kids out there! Missing those days where you'd sing and dance along to High School Musical on Disney Channel? Well, don't be sad that HSM has gone into the Museum of Past Tense, because there's the even more awesome ‘GLEE’ now! For those who don't know what Glee is, please give yourself a slap. GLEE has been showing/ is still showing/ will be showing on Star World (ch. 18 on SCV) for quite some time. It’s a TV series targeted to young people, so please go watch it and save your old souls. Songs done in the show are cover versions of hits such as ‘Take a bow’- Rihanna, ‘No Air’-Jordin Sparks and ‘Keep Holding On’- Avril Lavigne, just to name a few. Everything’s quite nicely done, although vocals sound amateurish. But, I won’t complain. Sincere and cheap entertainment for the win! Two volumes for double joy!

Recommended tracks: ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ – It isn’t the theme song for no reason.

Nick Jonas & The Administration's Who I Am. Lizzie wanted it, not me. Alright, I admit that the album’s cover did make me want to buy it and devour it whole. Nick Jonas simply looks a lot cooler and more professional without his brothers next to him. Bringing with him a band called The Administration, Nick Jonas is out to blast out the ears and hearts of young girls. Music composed does have some standards or two, lyrics are poetic too, what’s probably letting down is the undeniable weak vocals of Jonas. There are some point into the songs where he seems almost to the point of breaking a note. Liz will probably chop my head off when she reads this, but seriously, no criticism means no improvements, yeah?

Recommended tracks: ‘Who I Am’ (The mv for this song is nicely done, go watch it), ‘State of Emergency’, ‘Vesper’s Goodbye’

Leona Lewis’s Echo! I finally bought it after pondering for a million years. Powerful vocals bring you on a musical journey through several octaves that sound awfully easy to Lewis. Songs are quite distinguishably different and are all above the standards of what that makes a ‘hit’. That’ll probably mean that Leona’s music is here to stay for quite a while! Not forgetting to mention, there’s a hidden track in this album, Stone Hearts and Hand Grenades. Nice surprise!

Recommended tracks: Again, I’ll probably start naming all. But currently, I’m hooked onto ‘Lost Then Found’ –With OneRepublic.

OneRepublic’s Waking Up. Another gem which I bought only after the entire world got sick and tired of it. Actually, I’ve been very addicted to ‘All The Right Moves’ for a long long time, but nothing made me think that I should buy this album. It was only when I heard ‘All This Time’ then did I finally make the decision to buy this album. Well, no regrets! I may be slow, but at least I realised. Imagine how tragic it would be if I were to waste life away in this sad university without the comfort of good music, life would definitely be a mistake.

Recommended Tracks: ‘Secrets’, ‘Good Life’, ‘All This Time’, ‘Marchin On’

 
Okay, spending a few hours away from school work and listening to music is really the best thing you can do to reward yourself for being a slave to school work.
I'm currently on a thrift programme (set by myself) to save money and buy a camera (Yes! Another one!). Until then, no more  less impulsive buying of CDs. 
HEE.

Pathetic soul

:(

I am probably the most depressed person on earth now. So much so that I don't even want to think about anything anymore.

Today's quiz was BAD. If it was MCQ style I could still guess and probably get some marks here and there, but it was short answers style. The first question was along the lines of 'Use the theta-grid to analyse the word assault'. Erm, haha, but what's theta-grid?

Okay, I know that I should have studied harder, but seriously, with a mountain of readings to read, and another mountain of assignments to do, there's just not enough time to study for a quiz.

I practically spent my entire weekend at home buried in my notes and readings. It’s just not worthwhile spending the precious weekends of mine in the heaps of work I have when the effort I put in obviously does not show in the outcome.

Oh, research proposal. I thought it would be okay, but NO! Tutor says it’s out of point, it’s incoherent, it’s impractical, and it’s a flawed study, blah blah blah. HELLO?! Who was the one who said it was okay in the first place? Your accomplice! Then what? You want another piece of work on Wednesday? The last time I checked, I’m not a superhuman. I don’t know how we can squeeze out something of standard for you with such little time.

I’m trying hard to stay optimistic for tomorrow’s sunlight, but I fear that tomorrow will be worse than today.

Happy Birthday, MUMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

Hey Mummy! Happy Birthday!

Someone is getting older~ haha.

Don’t feel too sad about it, cos’ Dad will always be the oldest in the house. HAHA.

Anyway, I love it how my mother is always acting retarded with us, laughing at the dumbest jokes and watching Hong Kong serials till late nights.

Which mother will initiate a late-night TV marathon? My MUM.

Which mother will shout for her children’s names to come out and watch the TV when their idols are on it? My MUM.

Which mother will always act cute when taking pictures and insists she’s born cute? MY MUM. Note: ALWAYS.

Which mother ends her smses and msn chats with ‘muacks’? MY MUM.

Which mother uses cheesy emoticons while chatting on msn? MY MUM.

Which mum stalks her children on Facebook? MY MUM.

Which mother will prepare dinner with whatever she can find in the fridge and always amazes us with what she manages to cook? MY MUM. Note: Things that can be found in my fridge only- Canned food.

Which mother will put down the blinds and curtains in the morning to let her children sleep longer even when it’s like 10am in the morning? MY MUM. Note: Well, probably it’s my dad who put down the blinds, I don’t know, cos’ I never could wake up in time to see who actually puts the blinds down. Haha.

Well, this ‘which mother…’ list can go down forever cos’ I’m pretty sure my mum is this extraordinary (or maybe weird) woman whom is very different from other mums out there. Well, don’t be jealous of me for having such a cool mother cos’ I’m sure that every one of you mums rock in their own way!



HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEAR MOMMA!

See la, still acting cute.

:)

Résumé, what résumé?

Argh SIAN AH!

You know what? There's this very saddening module we have to take in school.

It's called MASTERING COMMUNICATION, HW111.

This module supposedly teaches us how to 'master proper communication'.

-.-'''

There's like assignments after assignments.

Then there's résumé writing now.

What to write?!?

Edelyn Chua is a pathetically-sheltered girl who has only one past job experience.

:(

HAIZ.

This is doing unnecessary harm to my brain cells.

BLEH.

It's WAR.

But weekends are coming, so I shall not complain, I must 忍~~~

老牛吃嫩草，全民哈哈笑。

What I like about Singapore is that once in a while you'll have dumb and crazy news that will hog the headlines for a couple of days (or even weeks), and then soon after, nobody remembers a shit about it.

Recently, there are cases of Short, Old and Rounded MEN toying with young girls. Although these are really awesome topics to discuss about over dinner, it's so really disgusting to even talk about. Hello?!? Why do the young girls wanna hang out and have more-than-supposed relationships with old and oily men more than twice their age? RETARDED. Love yourself more, ladies! Go to the old folks home and accompany those elders if you really have so much love you need to show.

Well, these terrible and bleachingly disgusting affairs/ relationships/ love stories really reflects how pathetic this society is. Old preys on young for bodily needs, and young shamelessly snuggles up to old for fame. Haha! I bet you that girl wants to be famous and hence snuggled up to the 'most aspiring and successful Director in Singapore'. Come on la, want to find a stepping board also find a better one right? Ya, she indeed became famous, famous for the wrong reasons, and now the whole nation laughs at her in harmony at the plight she's in.

Reading news reports on such nonsensical news can relieve some stress, but I advise you not to read too much because you'll soon find it extremely gross and wanna puke out your breakfast, lunch and dinner altogether.

HAHA! Whoever whom edited this video is a genius! HAHA.



Funny right? Brilliant.

What a damned system.

DAMMIT!

My 4 AUs cores are going to be changed to 3 AUs! That also means that I'll only have 18 AUs this semester when I am in fact overloaded with crap of school work. HELLO?!?! The modules we LMS students are taking can anytime weight more than 5 AUs each! The workload is mad heavy and we have assignments after assignments to churn up. What do you think we are? Machines? Our sad little brain is packed with shits from you! Recess week wasn't at all recess. It was ALL WORK AND NO PLAY. You've indeed made us all become Jack, the dull boy; and your damned Jackass which you have no sympathy for! You believe the modules are only worth 3 AUs as we only have 3 hours of contact time per week, but have you any idea how much time we are spending on our readings and work of these modules outside of class?!? ALL OF IT! I don't even have time to have a nice chat with my parents or visit my grandparents! The life I'm leading is no longer mine, it belongs to school and it's mad pile of work. 3 AUs? What a joke.

You know what? If I had a choice, I would quit school this instance.
Why am I choicelessness? Cos' I don't even have the time!

去死吧，鸡蛋糕！

BikeX

屁股开花~

Like, seriously.

Went for BikeX last night and cycled the bicylcle for almost 8 hours continuously. Crazy right?!?

I've never ever cycled for such long hours at such intensity before. My thighs and buttocks were all numb.

I'm so tired that I just wanna nua on bed forever.

Nothing is ever enough.

“星星堆满天 也不能比月圆……”
               ~ 《星星堆满天》-杨乃文

Nothing is so that very perfect in life. Actually, nothing is ever anywhere near to perfect.
Best of both worlds? Impossible. (Unless your name is Hannah Montana.)
Life has reached a point where it goes on simply to fill spaces; to complete what's imposed onto us.
Why? Aren't we born carefree and to grow up to enjoy the beauty this world can bring?
I see myself in a farcical play everyday, enacting the scenes of hell for others to be entertained.
What a joke.

Come on, girl, you can do it. It's just another one month or two before you can break free and smell the greener grass out there.

Restlessness

“…我原来无路可退 停留在重灾区 着了急仍呆坐这里 这关系像驾车困于挤塞的市区…我很累逐吋的逐吋的 蚁行下去被困这里没法收队”  ~ 《赛车》-谢霆锋

Recess week is half gone and I feel as though I've done nothing much besides successfully collected my passport from the US embassy. Well, at least this confirms my trip and I'm going there FOR REAL.

French role play is killing my brain cells. Je veux une maison au milieu de la mer, s'il vous plaît~ Merci beaucoup!

I feel extremely lethargic now, seems that the twelve-hour sleep wasn't enough, huh?

Okay, back to work. Au revior~
