Halls & Orientations


Brings back old memories and it feels bittersweet.
Went over for drinks for the first time and someone commented that i'm more here than there kinda person. Well, that made me realised that i'm quite glad i ended up here rather than over there. I'm no potter but it seems like i got into gryffindor instead of slytherin and both are strong rivals. Besides the fact that i don't fancy their darker shade of maroon on their brickwalls as compared to our brighter whitewashed walls, i don't think i would like to 'indulge' in vices on an almost daily basis. I think i would get embroiled in the state of party & no work. Like i've said, it's an 'indulgence' not a habit. However at most times i feel like i'm more there than here but still, i'm glad. :)) I get a healthy mix of 'happenings' around here and I've made good acquaintances/friends here.

Yup, so congrats to the people who've made it here!
Cheers for we liven up the atmosphere but never kill the spirit!

Drats the Rats


I just lost 1000bucks of revenue because i was too tall? Sorry but that sounds like bullcrap. I would wanna be taller you know. *angsty*

Meanwhile, i've got my new room. Newly whitewashed so it's brighter now. :) Shall try to bum around for orientation.

Almost a new beginning.


Hello world! It's 3.49am and it's a lovely silence when night falls. When it's 5am, you can feel the dawn of a new day when you start hearing the first few chirps of the morning and rays from the bright sun starts to peek through your window pane. It's a bliss to know what it's like to be alone in the morning.

I need to switch my bio clock to 12am till 9am. It's not good sleeping at 4am and getting up at 1pm. :S Not good for my brains, body and soul. Definitely not suitable for my school schedule.
I don't know why but i am feeling really anxious about the start of school. It almost feels like my first day at NUS because there're so many familiar faces who have moved out and moved on while most the faces i'm gonna meet are new, energetic and naive, hopefully friendly, smiley and cute. :)

It's the start of new things, can't wait to get to the end and can't bear to reach the end. Ah, life's always like this isn't it? You don't find things fun until you start reminiscing them. That's why even boring computer games like solitaire always feel so fun when you're studying for exams. Haha!

Dentist!
Ballet?
BBQ!
Paul Van Dyk!

My weekend. What's yours? ;)

While time passes by.


Time waits for no men and 2 weeks more till school starts again. It's my last year!! :)
These things happened within the last 2 weeks.



At the Irish Pub along somerset. Listening to diane (or was she diana?) and another male vocalist/guitarist was simply delightful. Taken with my phone in the mighty dark pub. :S



New Asia Bar. It was a trio birthday celebration with the gang. Unfortunately i was only found in 3 photos and our stars of the night were found in none of the photos. I think u might catch 2 of them in another set of photos which i have yet to see on FB. However, 2/3 of them were too occupied in the toilet after being toasted too many times. Psst! i like my new black top from topshop. ;)

Saturday, the europa trippin' people gathered to x/c photos, drink, eat fastfood, mj and Wii.

Below are some of the more memorable photos from Europe which i've gotten from them.

Got tiles will mahjong. This was in a hostel in Bern, Switzerland.

Remember the Trdlo girl in one of my previous entries? My guy friend took a close-up. Yummy. :))

One of the hilarious silly things you do as a tourist. Imitating the statues on the fountain. I think we did a pretty good job eh? ;P

Finally ate the pretty chocolate from italy that friend gave me. The pretty box has a painted picture of Piazza di Spagna in Rome. :) And the chocolate is good. What a pleasant surprise because most of the time i get not so nice chocolate in very nice packages.

Took a photo of this really lazy and plumb ginger cat in the temple. So while everyone is kneeling down on the cushions to pray, this cat is sleeping soundly on the cushions meant for kneeling. Haha!

Why am i in a temple? Being a filial daughter/granddaughter/niece, I went to temple with daddy n bro.

This was a feat okay? Why? Because this friend, S was a silly oaf who booked 11.15 tickets to the Dark Knight and when we arrived at the box office to collect the tickets, the surprised assistant told the equally surprised us, that it was 11.15AM show. To get good seats we had to watch the 2am show. I got home at 5.30am! Terribly hungry, went breakfast and got home at 6plus. All i had was 1.5hrs of sleep because i had to wake up at 7.45am to go to the temple!!! So it took alot of effort to make it to the temple. Well, taking into account that i'm nice and that it was dad's birthday, i did it. I even survived dinner later that night. I really love their bamboo clams. Show u photos next time if i do upload it. :))

The Dark Knight is worth watching! Not fantastically brilliant but worth your pennies.

Met up with hall friends tonight. Photos please. :)

Now that gramophone rental is over, i'm hooked onto online dramas.

GIRLS!!! Please go watch Absolute Boyfriend aka Zettai Kareshi.


LOVE Hayami Mokomichi!!!!!

He has a damn damn hot bod which he flashes most of the time in the drama series. And it's only 11 episodes. Just watch.

Short summary? Hayami is a robot lover built and programmed to have the ideals of Izawa's perfect boyfriend (main actress). While he tries to love her and make her fall in love with him, he has competition from her boss and in the process of loving her, he created a 'miracle'.

Not really happy ending though. :'( But great light-hearted show that brings some laughter. :))

I should stop watching these shows, I feel 14 again. :p

How cute is money?


Last night i was tossing and turning in bed. Fell asleep only at 6am. Why?

Not k drama.
Not reading notes.
Not playing games.
Not movie watching.
Not drinking.

With each thought, comes great amounts of financial woes. Grumbles.
Ambitious thoughts give me sleepless nights.
I wished i could convert all that energy into reading up for my fyp.

Of rainy summer days.


if you can picture this
can you think of me
can you think of me tonight
and i'm lying here
lying here by your side, by your side.
if you can whisper this
can you say you love me
can you say you love me tonight
and you're here
and you're here, by my side.
i could do a million things
do a million sweet things
say a billion nothings
but there's greater than, but there's prettier than this,
my love,
it's my love
and you, and me, we love.

Goong


I am friggin in love with Joo Ji Hoon. I've always had fetish for guys with tiny eyes and by starring in this show as a misunderstood prince, it's just too much for my girly heart. :S Lemme remind you he is 1.87m tall, perfect for me to lean on his broad shoulders.

Hence i am gonna dedicate this post to my present fantasy - Joo Ji Hoon.


I admit that i thought he was fugly at the start of the show but now, he's just drop dead gorgeous to moi. :)~
Droolworthiness - 4.8/5


Intense bedroom eyes! Eyes you wanna wake up every morning to.
Droolworthiness - 4.2/5

I love this photo. It's for a campaign to encourage korean adoptions within korea. And in this particular photograph, he really really reminded me of the biggest crash i've had when i was 20, a particular Mr T.

Droolworthiness - 4/5


Side views always make u wonder about the frontal view. ;)
Droolworthiness - 4/5


He's a model for CK. I only wished he was modelling CK like Beckhams does. Leave it to imagination then! Argh!
Droolworthiness - 4.2/5

Not a hot bod but still delicious enough to eat! Yum!

Droolworthiness - 4.5/5

Those of you who love him more than me can join this http://community.livejournal.com/joojihoon. He has fans even from germany, sweden. Wow. I am impressed.

Suddenly, i realised what i might do instead for graduation trip. ;)

Background:

Goong is a story about korean still having a Royal Family. JJH, or Shin in this show, is the royal heir to throne and was rejected by his secret gf of 2yrs when he proposed. So he decided to go ahead with the arranged marriage made by his grandfather and his best friend's granddaughter, SCJ. SCJ is a cute looking girl who is extremely naive and bubbly. Shin, being brought up to take up the throne, is used to loneliness and keeps to himself, thus he is irritated by SCJ. Soon he falls in love with her upon discovering her sincerity and generousity with love and care. However, between the time they got married and finally loving each other, his cousin came back to vie for SCJ's love and Shin's throne and shin's ex-gf did a little messing around as well. From the arrogant, cold snob Shin appeared from the start of the show, he turned out to be a lonely little prince who is actually very warm, loving and generous.

The Weird things i ponder over.


While creating the new blog header, I looked through the many photos i have accumulated from past escapades in Singapore and mostly in Europe. And i finally found out the name of the delicious czech pastry! It's trdlo!





It helps that a very pretty young lady is making and selling the trdlo. Freshly baked. Absolute heaven to taste! :)) Buttery on the inside, sugary on the outside with cinnamon sugar and almonds. Yumyum!
Brings me to the point that i miss having cold weathers where i can don different sorts of headgears.




The hoodie cap for beltane fire festival on Calton Hill.
Fur caps on bomber jacket (think J Lo or whoever who wears this in MTV) for a valentine's day dinner at wetherspoons.
Crochet caps at the zoo with the red raccoon.




And even crochet berets in the airport. :)) Mum bought this beret and scarf for me. Cool eh? I lurve it. :)




Don't look that bad right? But i'd melt if i were to wear them here. They make me miss my long hair. Sigh.




My Many Random Thoughts... again.

I was just thinking, would i wanna travel with my boyfriend or with my friends? I think i would really rather travel with friends. Romantic places with boyfriends are sweet but i'll leave that till i'm at an age where fun is defined in other ways limited by lack of youth and energy but greater amounts of money. :)

What my grad trip like? Is there even gonna be one? How much do I have to save? I really liked my bali trip. Maybe it's the company ;) and plus it's cheap. The next time I'm gonna get a villa though. :)

I used to love to read but nowadays i've become a animation generation kid. I love to watch the television or movies or drama serials. Anything that moves, captures my attention.

I think the amount of notes i always have to absorb and assimilate into my brain in school has killed my interest in books. Give me a good novel and I would give you my attention. This brings me to the point that i have never really liked self-help books. As a psychology student, I love to analyse,infer, preach. This sorta explains my choice of career for those who know me. So self-help books are like me preaching to myself or my mother nagging at me kinda thing.

They usually contain information i already know but tend not to see it which can be quite helpful but as a kid in this animation generation, I prefer having someone giving me personal advices. Self-help books are supposed to help everyone across the spectrum of a particular kind. It's like asking all talented people to a school for talents and there's just one mentor who asks all the kids to think about what they like most and does best in, and then instructs them to practice that some skill everyday, hoping one day they might learn something new from what they already know.

I prefer having different mentors for different talents so that the teacher can at least provide some guidance. I don't even need the mentor to be skilled in the particular talent that i have, i just need the mentor to tell me how she gained new insights to her own talents and then look at what i have to offer and advice me on what are the different possibilities i could achieve. And what she says to me would be different from what she says to another talent because we're essentially different people.

All in all, SHB are not bad, they're just too general and too impersonalised. Feels like a fortune teller telling me about the war I am involved in - "There will be bloodbath and there will be one victor while the other will perish".

How anger brings out the worst in everyone but it really doesn't mean anything much...well most of the time. Remember incredible hulk? He harms when he's angry? However he doesnt really want that when he recovers from the change. Yet some part of him still remains true, like how he protected betty. There's some truth in angry words and the truth is often coated with acid and they sting big time. So take a timeout, and try not to aggrievate it, just leave it and say sorry. Leave the hurting issues for another day when the sky is clearer and the air is fresher. :)

I want a hostel, an education centre and a trdlo eatery. And no, you can't snatch that away from me. :)

Psst, the big bang about the 2 girls in blogosphere is really an entertaining read. Who knows, it may just be another publicity stunt? :)) But the girls they talk about are really hawwwttt! :))

Lotsa stuff


Did a short stint today. Good pay. I hope i get more of it. Of all days, the zit was today.
Damn thing no. 1 - the little red dot.
I've decided i might wanna do tuition, just one. To know how it's like and the money is quite good too. Any lobangs?
Damn thing no.2 - i've lost my favorite gold skin watch. Most of you who knows me, should know that i love swatch watches. Affordable and creative designs. Nowadays i only like their skins and now i lost my fave. If only i could sale all my old plastic swatches for 10bucks, i think i can buy a new skin. :))
Damn thing no. 3 - hostel fees hike is so like shit lah! Now it's 75 instead of 60. So glad i wont be in it next yr because it'll be 90bucks per week! Really is "kill people start fire" leh! i pay 1995 for 19 weeks of stay and i'm paying for wkday breakfast + dinner that has 80% chance of not tasting good. Scheisse!

Things i need to do!
- close my account for uob
- visit dentist (any recommendations for cheap n professional svcs?)
- buy lacoste/ puma shopping/ballet shoes.

I've been watching so many dvds, it's crazy. I think "the machinist" is truly one of the best i've seen from christian bale. His batman shows haven't been spectacular but i'm looking forward to "the dark knight". Ledger gives me the creeps in there and now that his soul rests in peace, it's a lil' spooky.

Have a good weekend. xoxo.

One night.


Long day and I'm ready,
I'm waiting for your call
'Cos I've made up my mind
My heart aches with a hunger and the want that you were mine
No I cannot deny
So for one night - is it alright
That I give you
My heart - my love - my heart
Just for one night
My body - my soul
Just for one night
My love - my love
For one night
one night
one night

When morning awakes me
Well I know I'll be alone
And I feel I'll be fine
So don't you worry about me
I'm not empty on my own
For inside I'm alive
That for one night - it was so right
That I gave you
My heart - my love - my heart
Just for one night
My body - my soul
Just for one night
My love - I loved
For one night
one night
one night
For one night - it was so right
That I gave you
My heart - my love - my heart
Just for one night
My body - my soul
Just for one night
My love - my love
For one night - one night - one night
One night

It didn't feel that great after the moment is over because you know it is only temporary and you'll never know if it was true.
I hope it was sincere.
