Listening to: Every Heart by BOA
There are fewer greater things other than God and sex; and guess what? Shopping! Three guesses as to why I was having a total epiphany at the shopping malls the last 2 days, haha... Therefore, I decided tht starting from today I shall keep track of my shopping escapades; partly to give u guys some good tips and to see the soon obscene amount that I shall spend during this GSS. (Great Singapore Sale) Another thing that I'm so happy is that I think I might be able to pass my Econs and Marketing exams after all, thanks to non-stop mugging for 8 and a half hours. I am now the 'proud' owner of dark eyebags the size of Louis Vuitton monograms. Ha.
I have to apologise to Winson and Justin! Sorry guys, for making you guys come all the way to TP, and then I go change my mom about the class bbq. I'll make it up to ya'all someday. Jas was real nice to invite me to go see their Law Orientation concert, which was an absolute blast! :) Kay was sucha phat dancer, gyrating to the mix of Indie and hip-hop. I even got free pandan cake to eat. ^^
Butt tired now, so i shall end here. Fellow shoppers, we have to unite in times like these! Contact me so we can hang some time k?
My Buys: Brown Mphosis top ($13), Orange racerback ($10), Black racerback ($6)

Listening to: My Happy Ending by Avril Lavigne
Funny how you can unleash so much frustrations while warbling alongside to her song even though I critisise it sometimes. Dunno whether this few short anecdotes would constitute as an entry, but just don't feel like studying for the Econs exam yet. I am like so beyond screwed, thats for sure. Looks like its whole-night mugging for me, ha. Crap, I haven't even touched my books yet?!
Anywhow, today's Justin's birthday,so this entry is dedicated to him. Happy 17th, dude...join the oldies club. You're one of us now. :)

Listening to: a whimsical selection of love songs
Went around looking at my friend’s respective blogs; and it appears that what Ping once mentioned in an entry; Singaporeans really don’t know how to let off the ‘post-exam syndrome. Kinda reminds me of the ‘post-purchase behaviour’ we studied in marketing, but I shall not go on bout this any longer. God knows I need a more exciting life..
Currently listening to the requiem that made the movie Moulin Rouge, ever so memorable. Overwhelmingly hear-wrenching it ain’t, but extremely clichéd it was. But I remember what Jas once told me, “If you want to do clichéd, do it Really well.’ I suppose that was exactly what made the whole star-crossed lovers plot linger in my brain even till now. But to be honest, I seem to find the songs speaking more of the tragic love story even more strongly then how Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor tried to portray. I have nothing against them, their acting was great, but I guess that’s the wonder of music.
It makes me muse about something though. I think it s the big question that most of us are always looking for answers, and some we may never get. What exactly is Love? Will we ever find true love? Will we be able to fall completely in love like Christian and Satine?
I guess that’s the difference between reality and fantasy. I don’t really know what love is, and I don’t think I’ve ever been in love. I won’t sprout some chim philosophy about how deep and how ground-shaking love is, nor will I rattle on about how life-changing it may be. I’m only seventeen, and I don’t think I’ve reach that point of my life yet.
But I’ll still keep looking out for that special someone to come into my life and to show me just what the Love is all about. Till that moment arrives, I’ll carry on my life with a little smile, one that foretells of the happiness that is yet to come.
Hey, I got all perceptive over a song?! Hmm...perhaps I’m not as shallow as I think I give myself credit for. *sheepish*

Listening: Going Under by Evanesence
I know,I know. Am feeling the tiniest pricks of guilt as I now procrastinate from my study to blog. Only 4 more days till the exam, and boy am my nerves are fizzled. Sigh, and to add more salt to the wound, Fran just told me that there won't be any short break between my first and second module. It sucks, to say the least. Good bye, my flighty illusions of enjoyment; He-llo to a long and dreary 3 months of pure wordy hell. I just think of all the new subjects that we're supposed to take and I just wanna curl up in my bed and rot.
Ah well, things can't always go our way. Guess I'll just have to make the most of it, wouldn't I? *wistful smile*
Just a few hours ago, met up with Caren and Fran for a study group. :) At leas this time I got most of my revision done. Half the time though, I was lending a listening ear to both of them. Each had some problems that seemed to be real taxing on them. Sigh...there is really no end to the woes of our adolescent years. I shall now switch my low frequency vibes to higher frequency vibes. (Quote from the OC: Summer was trying to get over Seth, its an analogy to say that I'm gonna change my negative energies to positive energies).
Bored now. Mom's nagging. Am spastic. Ending here. ha...

So I know that I 've always been ranting about how much I feel that putting song lyrics as a blog entry is just plain laziness and utter pointlessness, but ah what the heck. The song just hits the nail on the proverbial head, I just find this plainly freaking. I mean, my life in a song?
"Here's the thing
We started out friends
It was cool, but it was all pretend
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
You dedicated, you took the time
Wasn't long, til I called you mine
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
And all you'd ever hear me say
Is how I pictured me with you
That's all you'd ever hear me say
But since you been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on, yeah yeah
Thanks to you now I get what I want
Since you been gone....
How can I put it, you put me on
I even fell for that stupid love song
Yeah, yeah, since you been gone
How come I'd never hear you say
I just wanna be with you
Guess you never felt that way
But since you been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on, yeah yeah
Thanks to you now I get what I want
Since you been gone
You had your chance, you blew it
Out of sight, out of mind
Shut your mouth, I just can't take it
Again and again and again and again
Since you been gone...Since you been gone...Since you been gone."
Thus marks the demise of my social life. I don't think I'll elaborate the details about what happened, but you guys my closest friends, can probably figure out by now. After a chunky KitKat chocolate bar and much dwelling on the issue, this entry has taken long enuff to write.

Listening: The Reason by Hoobastankt
Dunno if I got the spelling of the singers right. Actually can't really be bothered either if you only had like 4 hours of sleep after a thorough night of clubbing,my brain seems to all over the place. It was Sherry's birthday yesterday, and it was really nice of her to treat us to clubbing, methinks. The night started slow, but eventually picked up speed. Not long after, I was seeing the world thru a whole new way, literally. I think it's a given after downing a Gin Tonic (yummy blue liquid), 3 Burborn Cola (Sweet but bitter aftertaste) and 2 something-whiskeys (a lil insipid). No one was dancing, so on a sudden streak of bravado, I went to boogie with the birthday girl. Sherry was certainly quite the dancer, though I couldn't quite say the same for moi. Someone even bought drinks for us, on top of two more jugs on the house! But as they say, no pain no gain.
I had my first K.I.L.L.E.R hangover this morning.
Class was pretty ok, thought I think I absorbed a grand total of nothing from today's Econ's lesson. Had lunch with Michelle, Ping, Pamela, Azure and Wison, and am currently feeling real shitty. Shall stop here and lie down to breathe shallowly for the next half-hour.

Listening to: the wonderous silence
Ever wondered how a stuck-up socialite would look like if she was hunted by a pyschotic murderer who has a knack for wax? (and I dun mean the kinky kind.) Yup, just returned home from watching House of Wax with Fran, Ping and Weiming. Which of course was a pretty good call since it's better to let your mind feed on gory b-grade scenes instead on dwelling on forever about how I have literally screwed up my Marketing Management test. So yeah.
Anyhow, it was a pretty mediocre film, though some of the moments were like really morbid-hilarious. Like when Wade got cast into wax, and this guy Dilton was like trying to peel it off him. Ah...bad move, dude. Cos he ended up also yanking the poor guy's face too, flesh and all. Lolx, God knows what must have been going through his brain at that moment. Most probably not a 'thank you', I presume.
Small moments of happiness for moi: Yeah...Justin just passed me the Samurai Champloo anime which I have been dying to watch! Also gotten The Last Samurai from Dad, and Love me if you dare from Ping. Ok, haven't the chance to watch the former; but the latter. Probably the most innovative and most touching love story I had ever seen. It was something like a warped and wacky version of Romeo and Juliet; if they were like ever crazy enough to attempt those dares in the movie. The ending was mind-blowing...I used up half a box of freshly opened Kleenex. How I nearly brawled my eyes out...lol. Most definitely would recommend this to anyone who fancies a unique romance film to watch on a boring afternoon; or actually anytime at all. :)
Thus I shall end my painfully thrilling report on the latest shows I've watched, and scavage thru the dark lair that is my kitchen in search for substenance. Ha. Now hows that for entertainment?

Listening: Some monolouge going on some tacky Hong Kong serial
On somedays, things just hit you in the face. Today was one perfect example.
This morning, I came to school fully intending to really get into my Marketing Manangement lesson. Huh, didn't even manage to get into the class when Winson pulled me aside to show me something. "Your chance to be a hero," as I quote him. The whole fiasco; it turned out to be this stray cat that had its right leg broken. It was dragging itself frantically through the open road, and for some strange reason, kept trying to hide under a moving taxi. Man, that cat was suicidal. Anyhow, I totally missed the first half of class. (Not that it was a heartbreaking loss,hoho) Luckily, the SPCA picked it up in due time, so i jus hope everything's ok for it. :)
After class,Weiming, Fran, Ping, Justin, Winson, Pamela and I headed to Takashimaya for lunch. We actually saw the Singapore Idol reject, Jessea Thydior (hope I got the name rite.) She looked quite pretty, though less 'polished' as I might have expected her to be. I think that's the downside of being a celebrity; you're like always expected to look good 24/7. I was so spastic and kept missing her when she walked passed my table on two counts. Lolx...the whole gang had to keep yelling and signalling me to catch a glimpse at her. ah wat the heck...
After that, we went to Orchard library to revise for our upcoming MM test. Sigh, once again, it was a failure. Firstly, we were suddenly being overwhelmed by random bouts of narcissism. We kept taking pictures, likea bunch of rabid tourists. Secondly, there was that Malay actor from the sitcom Police and Thief. Man, he is as hilarious as his persona in the comedies he stars in. :) I even managed to take a pic with him, yeah! hmm...two star-sightings in a day, not bad.
This is a pretty chillin' day overall, i guess. Gonna have me dinner now.....
