Listening to: Miracles Happen by Myra (Princess Diaries OST)


Its a Friday, and finally this new week comes to a close. Met the last lecturer today, though I can't remember his surname, but whatever. Still trying to get over the indignance at having to carry 3 freaking books to his class, argh! Its like secondary school days all over, furthermore, said lecturer has the charisma and personality of a potato. Oh I am so looking forward to his classes, bleh. Pardon the bitchiness, but all that I'm looking for in this class is prolly the projects which seem to carry a fun potential. :) Shall not blog bout Benita's class, since I didn't go for her classes (was seeking solace in the sanctuary that is my bed) and since we had her last term, either way it prolly wasn't very interesting either.

*SILENT SCREAM IN BRAIN*

Here's the reason for my temporary cry for insanity: remember the gorgeous bouquet of roses that Justin gave me for my birthday? I treasured it like ... erm like a (?)Treasure, and when it became dry flowers I was deciding that I'll turn it to potpurri once it began to fall apart. Guess what? I walked into my house today, with a nagging feeling in my heart. The furniture had all (and by all I mean all) been re-arranged, which can only mean one thing. The matriarh of the house, otherwise known as my mother, must have went on one of her erratic spring-cleaning sprees!!!!

Thus ends the existence of the flowers. I feel so empty now. Argh...and that was my first freaking bouquet of flowers!!! That had absoulute sentimental value, and out it went into the rubbish shoot? I need a prozac, people, a headache is so on the way.

Listening to: Rakkou from the Juuni Kokki OST

Bloody crap of a machine that is my fucked up computer!!!! This entry is actually done quite a few days back, and thanks to the damn thing, I only managed to post it up now.

Well, am feeling pretty swell for a number of reasons, and I shall try to piece what I wanna say in coherent sentences instead of rambling senselessly like a sub-machine gun. :PPP

The results for the Marketing and Economics are finally out, via mail. I was pretty touchy about this as I didn't quite put in as much effort in it as I was supposed to, so my fingers were crossed. Apparently, my mother intercepted it as she came back earlier and even smsed my grades through SMS. Not that I'm very strong for personal privacy, but I wished she didn't do that and I could have the satisfaction of ripping the surprise(or shocker) myself. But yeah, still cool bout it. :)

I got an A for Econs and B for Marketing, big YEAH!!! It was better than expected. Though I thought it would be the other since Econs is mathematical and I'd never thought I could do good in a subject thats related to that, however remote.

Justin treated a handful of us to The Big 'O' Cafe today, and it was a pretty nice experience seeing how I've never been there before. Got to know a new fren Hannah, through Dira (Winson and Justin's ex-classmate), and they're both from Laselle. I flipped through some of Hannah's drawings and they are so gorgeous. FYI: you can view some of her works at www.aramaki.deviantart.com. It was so fun to hang out with people who love anime, manga, cosplay as much as I do~~

And I come to the part about today's lessons. You know, at a first glance of the module "Techniques of Professional Speaking and Writing", it doesn't inspire much enthusiasm. Well, I'm dead wrong! The lesson was surprising enjoyable and quirky! Mr Nabui was a sight for sore eyes, and he had the whole dry sardonical humour going on. He kept us laughing and snickering as the lesson progressed thru, even when we came across bombastic terms like Orthoepy, Morphology and Supra-segmentals, I wasn't the least bit daunted. Plus, Fran and I have this on-going inside joke, something bout chest *winks*

And he also had funky-dory hairstyle, like wolverine from X-men. Hehe...but no, thou shalt not hit on my lecturer. 2 down, 2 more lecturers to go!

Well,first off just wanna rant about what a big butt-headed gong-Ass I so am; I actually mistaken, for some strange reason that my new mods start on Wednesday and was happily random surfing, slacking. Until I checked out Fran's and April's blogs, and boy was I really in for a very nasty surprise. I think I'm prolly the epitome of stupidity itself, but shall not digress.

Painfully Mundane.
Thats the word I'm using to sum up the class today, and its the only word that I could think of right now. The lecturer was somewhat reminiscent of our former APM lecturer 'Purpose-Lee' and I spent half the time turning on my blah filter (his droning was more than any human could possibly take!). The other half was used on staring at this peculiar turf of hair sticking out from the middle of his head. Fran told me that at least we know which parts of his brain he uses the most. :P

Lol, but amidst the laughs (and the shrieking by Ping, Fran and me cos America's Next Top Model is showing today! YEAH!), it was all mainly business. A stringent order of a man who talks nothing but the lessons and locks the doors promptly at 9.10 am. It isn't hard to see why I'm not quite looking forward to this, especially when its bout 'Social Behavioural Studies'. Already a heavy topic right off the bat, argh.

Anyhow..shall go catch some winks and hope tht tomorrow would be at least more interesting ,if not fun.

Waah. Its just 2 more days to the new term and I still feel I didn't slack just about enough.

And am admitting to pangs of envy as I see how everyone except me has had fun partying and trashing other people's houses. lol,*coughAmbrosecough* Sigh, and to top it all off, I feel just about as glamourous as street rat after Commando Mom demanded I clean the toilets. Bleh.

Furthermore...I miss you guys, even more so since we're gonna be separated for god knows how long; at least till the Unicampus is completed methinks. I dunno if its me, but it seems like we're all dividing into little cliques, and we seem to be drifting away. (T.T) Wish we could all hang out like before, the original HBF: Ping,Fran, Ming, Ernie, Justin, Winson and me!

Promise me you guys won't forget me k? *sobs*

nonsensical utterings shall end here as I dash to the toilet, thus preventing stinking up the living room.

Yipee....my momentary dose of happiness in a can!

Or rather, in a manga..bought the latest episode of Tsuki no Shippo (loosely translated it means the End of the Moon). Looking past the less than impressive name is a sweet, light-hearted love story between a H.O.T and dashing ninja-chief Hanzo and klutzy yet good-natured Usagi, otherwise known as the girl insanely in love with Hanzo. :) Plus a chocolatey brown halter ; since I have this bad habit of buying something new for school.

Speaking of, its very disheartening to see our class divided. Think of the trouble we could inflict on our new lecturers! hehe...just a thought, but still. I'll miss Ping, Ming and the rest to DEATH! but of course, one should never look down on the Mass Comm students, for they have no idea the way our evil minds works...we shall find a way to conquer our adversity!*wrings hands dramatically*

Another bright note, I've a temp job selling clothes and accessories at Far East, which means there be income, which also means: A very wild shopping/clubbing/partying me~~~ I hereby thank the higher powers for the joy that is working life. Which is also a very good thing cos I just watched the report on charity flagdays, and its sad the public are taking out the anger on the NKF matter on innocent students,who didn't even deserve it in the first place.

So yeah, just wanna appeal to anyone who unfortunately stumbles into this lil rant page that is my blog, please try to donate as as when you guys can.
And no, I'm not going for sainthood or something, though I admit that those 'Reverend' outfits are really hot,hehe. If you ever watched the movie Stigmata, you'd know what I mean...I feel so sinned. :P

Ohh...just noticed that I've quite a number of buddieswhose birthdays are around this week. A belated but altogether funky one out there to Ambrose! Happy 18thner, eh old buddy?

to Jas: we're gonna rock your 19th this comin week, so you better be prepared~
to Jolyn: Hehehe. Oh Jolyn, aren't you just looking forward to the 5th of Aug? *evil laughter*

Bleah...shall turn my attention to one of my all-time favourite movies, Bring It On.

"There is beauty in Darkness and Melancholy.

Awakening angst like a black flower awaiting to blossom into full bloom,

Anger, a scarlet knife; and Rage, a lethal yet unrelenting blade.

Despair and grief like twins that come out to play in the shadows that have not yet died.

As I wonder why we fight for the light of crude, blatant happiness...

When there is beauty in the Darkness and Melancholy."

*cringes*

Ok, I'm just wondering why the hell am I still at the Com when I should be burying myself into my Communication Skills textbook. Since tommorrow is the exam!!!Its like the deadly calm before the storm, I should save myself while I still can!Argh~~~~~

*ignores inner battle and continues clicking away at screen*

Enough of the melodrama then...hey, you won't believe this. And promise you won't laugh, cause I wrote this after a screaming spat with my mom. I actually wrote poetry.

The cow jumped over the moon. The fat lady sang. Hell freezed over and Singapore is actually snowing. (ok, so maybe the last one wasn't exactly true. But got your attention eh?)


Yup, you heard right. Poetry. Not the sort of sonnets and limericks that you usually see in books or heard on TV. Mine doesn't rhyme in the least bit, but I'm pretty intrigued since I've never written a poem in my 18 years of living. God knows William Blake or any other self-respecting poets would prolly be doing somersaults in their grave. I showed them to Jaslyn; well I guess it was overall pretty decent since she didn't burst out laughing maniacally in my face, nor did she show me one of those pained 'I-am-in-purgatory-just-kill-me-now' looks that she always has when we hang out too near loud-cussing ah-bengs.

I was thinking of posting just one in the next entry, and will start preparing plans for cosmetic surgery since I'll prolly never be able to face anyone again.

***Ok, there's a change here.

Previously cos I 'oh-so-stupidly' put a spoiler for the latest Harry Potter book which turned me to the most hated person on the face of this Earth, right up there with blabber-mouths. So yeah, am removing it so I won't receive any more screaming complaints in my face. (or my tagboard)

Currently watching 'Remember the Titans' on Channel 5.

When it came out in cinemas some years back, it was probably the last film I'd considered watching. Prolly cos it was on American Football; and testosterone funfairs really didn't appeal to me. But now that I've finally watched it, it pleasantly surprised me. Fast paced, dramatic twisted laced with dry,sardonic humour at every turn. I made me crack up when the team were goofing about, got me at the edge of my seat when they got on the field, and wait with bated breath when both the 'blacks' and 'whites' were in terse conflict.

Yes, this a film that focused on the race-discrimination problem that America had widely faced somewhere in the 1980s. (based on a true story)
Of course, that wasn't the sole theme of the film but it was one that I think it was one that pretty boldly approached.

The pinnacle of the story was when Captain Gary became paralysed during a car accident, and yet his African buddy Julius strongly stood by his side. The ideology of the universal brotherhood that truimphs over adversity was portrayed in the most stylish way, and ever so apparent between Gary and Julius. All I can say is that this was a film that was made with a lot of heart, that touched me deeply and set me thinking.


" You learnt to trust the soul of a man, not by the look of him."

Aye to that, Aye indeed.

People, meet Lil Prince Earl-Grey. EeKK ! So cute right?! *faints*

2) Random surfing, and I've come bearing my darling blog with fruitful finds. Inuyasha and Sesshomaru, here's honoring how both of you send my endorphin levels sky-rocketing. I mean..move over Tom Cruise/ Brad Pitt. The age of stereotype hotness is so O-ver...and in its place, the dawn of Chibi cuteness! Look below and you'll prolly know what I mean. ^_^

Aw yeah...feel the love y'all.

Oh god, this one sent me falling out of my seat... look at the expressions and the claw marks on the tub! Bath-time will never be the same again. *_*

Listening to: the sound of my blood rushing to my brain as I attempt pathetically to study.

Aw yes, I feel OVER-RIDDEN with guilt right now, but whatever. The last few days I've tried to bury myself in the tome of words that is my APM textbook; but lord knows that it's all just a futile attempt. Managed to absorb just a miniscule part of it, so I shall just reward myself with a nice hr of surfing the net. :P
Sadly, life's been and will be a homogenous dark grey sky as this air of nervousness surrounding the godamn exams drags on till next week.

On a brighter note, I finally bought myself a new pair of jeans! Orginally at $38.90 but I bargained it to $32. Glad to see that my haggling skills has not rusted one bit, tho my penchant for retail therapy is not dying off either.Wandered off a little further at Tampines Mall and fell completely in love with this heart-shape pendant with some sorta rugged, victorian design. Never did like the universally-feminine signia, ever since teeny-bopper idols in Taiwan serials fashioned it, but yeah. It's a pretty trinklet with a twist. I'm just so beyond petriffied the next time I go update my bank book.
Yet, I don't think that deters me in my resolution to go on a online shopping spree on Yahoo Auctions. I'm dying to get a whole list of anime and that laptop I've always wanted!!! *squeals and falls flat in floor*

Such is the age of Extravagance...

Before I go, just wanna wish my darling buddy Ming a belated Great/Gorgeous/Fabulous/Sensational/Amazing/Stupendous/ ...okie, I ran out of words. *Grabs dictionary and thumbs it frantically* I think I shall leave it nice and classy: Happy 19th Birthday, Ming! Hope you enjoyed yr special day to the MAX!

Listening to: Blah!


Argh...that's me articulating in my slug persona. Haha, super shagged after a long day and I still have to get up at 7am today to go to work. Ah well, if you want some, you have to work for it, so what the hell. Went to the Esplanade today to see my sister perform her dance act, and boy was she swell. I mean, ask around and you'll know that I'm not usually the type that gives compliments to her sibling just like that. But I was pleasanrly surprised when she actually executed her mordern dance moves with an astonishing amount of grace and accuracy. As much as I hate to say it, I might be proud of her after all...Overall, it was a great show until that lil twerp accidentally crashed into a instrument stand when nearing the end.

Hahaha....guess you can't really have your cake and eat it after all.

Since sis (with fellow dancers) and I (with Mum) wher leaving at different timings, we decided to walk around when we chanced upon this cool, zen tatami mat shop. Mum considered changing my single bed into a totally gorgeous plum-red tatami bed, and I was like so for it.... that is until we gawked at the price. *hey Justin, you said you wanted to buy my sis rite? You look like good person, I give you best price, $545?* LMAO

After that, we strolled a little further and saw this really cool tea cafe called 'The V tearoom" and I was on the verge of hyperventilating when I saw the selection of teas they had there!!!! AHHH! I have just found my santuary, there is a GOD. Mum even bought a box of their in-house cookies, white almond flavour. They have other flavours such as Lavender, Chocolatechip and even a Magdeliene Rose one. NOt bad at all, you guys should really try some one day, though I have to warn you that it is not cheap.

Anyhow, all good things have to come to an end. We checked into ThaiExpress for dinner, and let me tell you, it was the dinner experience from hell. I ordered pineapple rice, and the calamari was unfresh and bad (or so my mum tells me,I dun eat calamari), the prawn was half-cooked (EWW!), the spicy kangkong tasted different and one of the waiteress really should go take a damn hike. She is so not getting my vote for employee of the month. People, you have been warned.


My sacrifice for sleep shall end here...and this entry has taken long enough to write. Ack~~
