  It wasn't me
Posted Saturday, October 19, 2013 // 12:37 pm
It was my inner stripper
Prior to the dreaded first day of official lessons for Year 2 Semester 2, I headed out to Town area with Siying and John to mourn for the last day of the holiday and got myself a new backpack. I have been through 3 days of school so far so those who had witnessed my new bag knows how luminous the yellow is.
It isn't even simply neon yellow anymore, it is stop-the-traffic-you-are-pouring-highlighter-yellow-ink-in-my-eyes yellow. I feel like I am blinding people carrying my bag around. And my back feels so much more tired at the end of the day cause I finally could stuff my laptop in. So the 2kg is taking its toll upon my achy breaky back. But it is durable enough not to break on the first day of school and sustain a laptop in for hours. Plus it is only ten dollars. I could run away from home with this bag and that makes everything worthwhile. 

Not that I am planning on it.

I, not surprisingly, bought the rest of the stuff in that photo. I had plans to perhaps go to the Salvation Army again to thrift some clothes home but if you have been following me on Instagram, you know I don't have to. All the individual items never exceed $10, so I'm not splurging like crazy to have to go to thrift shops and get a cheap, knockoff design of anything. 

Anyway, let's get back to school. I am been excessively tired in school for the week because my body clock registers that I should only wake up at 10am. I only tried to revert it back to the healthier schedule of sleeping at 11pm each day on the very last day of the holiday where I actually need to wake up at 7am the next day. So I think I had things coming. 

But I look cute for the week. Dressing up for school when I feel like a broken machine crap inside does make the heart feel amazing. Though I did get a blister from the new pair of black sneakers on my left ankle. :( That's the price of beauty. 

I did turn it around by covering it with a cute, totally not functional plaster to go with the outfit the next day. So i think I am officially vain. Alright.

School don't look very optimistic because it has already confused me in terms of what it going to happen for the assignments and the integrated ones and the group ones. Holy crap, I could so easily have a panic attack right now.

I hope I do survive this semester. It is supposedly shorter than the previous. So that is good news. Even though that means I have shorter time to study for that Media Law and Ethics exams at the very end of the semester. Oh boy.

  Believe in your nightmares
Posted Thursday, October 03, 2013 // 3:20 pm

I went shopping with Siying a few days ago. Because H&M has a big sales going on and I love that brand to death. If my closet can only be filled with one brand it would be that, for sure. 

So anyway, the sales. I love H&M sales because they always have a whole rack of things going for $5 or $7 or if I am lucky enough $3 and less. Which means I get to stock up on clothes without even bringing a lot of money out. I grab a black bandage skirt going for $2 within 2 minutes of stepping into the shop, and that really made Siying judge me. She was speechless after I made up my mind to get it within 3 seconds and then said, "We barely even come in and you got your first buy already."

The rest of the shopping took a longer time because we combed the entire building to search for the best deals. I grabbed her a couple of tee because she is badly in need of them. But I made sure they were dirt-cheap that even I would get it, because I cannot phantom the idea of getting a regular tee for over $10. Not gonna happen.

I bought a bag from the kids section that was on sales for $3. You can see it on my Instagram. I mentioning that bag because I showed it to my sister and she labelled it as one of my top 10 weirdest buys. It's actually really pretty and unique except the fact that it is made out of plastic give it away that it is actually for kids.

I also bought a bikini bottom from H&M because it was crazy cheap. You know how bikini sets always go for $50 with the top or bottom either selling at a minimum price of $20. Well, I got my bottom for $3 and it is actually really worth it. Because it is not the string type which I find very uneasy to be in. (I mean, can you imagine someone just come up to you can pull it off or say, "What an itsy bitsy piece you have there!" I personally like to cover up) I did not get any top even though they are just as cheap because the designs are just weird. They are all bandeau cutting with functional zippers in front. (what.) And they are all really tiny too even though I could find some in my size. (double what.) I might have to wait till the next sales to complete my incomplete bikini set. 

So right now I am just a weirdo with a bikini bottom but no bikini top.

If you follow me on Twitter, you probably saw me live-tweeting the tween girl behind me while I was queueing to pay. She is such a reality TV personality, you know, the typical spoiled brat who is just filthy rich. I felt like I was in one of those episode where she is just out with her equally spoiled friends. I felt like I was being punked.


Spoiled brat: "Ugh, I don't want to go to French (lessons)!" 
SB: "Hello? Mom? Mom?" -phone cuts off- "Oh my god." -roll eyes- 
SB: "Mom? Can I not go to French? Ugh, but I don't want to go to French! -put down phone- I hate my mom! She is making me go to French! 
SB: "Ugh do you want to switch moms?"Her Friend: "Yes. Your mom is so cool!" 
SB: "I don't want to go to French~ I am so tired! My legs are so tired..."Well that is because all you have been doing is shopping and whining. 
HF: "If my mom sees what you buy she will be like, "Oh my god, you are a fashionista!"SB: -still sulking- "I rather have your mom, my mom is making me go to French."HF: "You won't want my mom. My mom dresses me! Look at what I am wearing!"She is wearing a white printed tee with cuffed sleeves and a purple ruffled skirt. She even accessorized, so she was simply being whiny. 

I just couldn't believe my ears. I fear for the nation's future, to be completely honest.

And I thought I was rather whiny that day because I had on a pair of new shoes that was leaving me blisters everywhere. I eventually solved my problem by buying socks from Cotton On that was originally going at a promotion of 3 for $10. But turns out it was actually going for $2 per pair. And they are long socks, not ankle socks. Score.

I shan't talk more about my shopping trip anymore cause I am at the end of my list. 

So I shall talk about how I started and finished watching the comeback season of Whose Line Is it Anyway in less than a week. It tickled me endlessly so that was great entertainment. Except I finished the last episode yesterday. So I'm bored, again.

Still, I rather be bored than be in school doing the strenuous amount of work for months. Sigh, another 12 days till that because my lifestyle, again.

  While at Ikea with John and Siying
Posted Saturday, July 13, 2013 // 9:02 pm
This happened
This week had me sorting out everything and re-analysing my life and my prospects in life. Along with freaking my friends out by breaking out into snippets of the miniscope amount of Kpop songs that I know. They are really uncomfortable with my behaviour, which was hilarious.
A: Okay. Let's go! -break into Gee-(Si Ying stopped everything she are doing and judged me)
I actually stop myself after 2 seconds of the "performance" because I disgust myself. I feel physically gross to be doing something so out of character. They are all actually begging for me to stop my mouth from producing the vocals before I do because they cannot take the always un-Kpop me to creating such a scene. 

Anyway, Louise Brealey replied my tweet this morning, making me squeal in my room. That really made my day, the perfect pick-me-up. Especially after knowing that the next thing I have to do is prepare for class. :/

I dragged myself to the HMS award ceremony event this week. Apparently I have attained this certificate for being in a community. It was awful. I hate having to go up on stage to receive something like that. Because I feel like they don't matter and they don't exactly define what or who I am. Things like bursary ceremony, they are not celebrating me, they are celebrating my lack of funds to survive the education in Singapore. Same as this, getting the certificate does not make me feel less attached to the community or to the people because I just don't feel connected to it.

Anyway, I guess that was why I felt gross during the award ceremony. Everything seemed so phony. Well, everything except the World Vision performance by the Mongolian kids. They are seriously talented, many of their voices wowed the crowd. I couldn't believe the talent in the group. The goosebumps were real.

I went shopping today. I think I haven't been shopping since a fairly long time. But I caught up with my shopping luck today so I decided to splurge a little to give myself a break. It's been a heck of a stressful week, and $5 a piece of perfectly fine tank top is one yummy deal. 
By the way, the bag is $2.

  What is left dead
Posted Saturday, August 25, 2012 // 4:51 pm
Is left to me
These past two weeks were devoted to my end of term examinations. So I apologise for hurting anyone's keyboard that was disappointed for it has typed in vain.

The examinations were tough, but definitely able to complete. The time given and the stress built up is the equivalence of taking Social Studies for Os. A lot of writing, a lot of expressing what I actually want to say. And I never good at that, so I'll take my chances. 

Anyway I spent last weekend at Seremban, Malaysia. Which explains, by the way, all my instagram mass update. I went to Port Dickson too to have some sort of adventure fun. Played Paintball Shooting, which is mad fun cause having a gun in your arms is always fun and powerful. Also learnt basic archery. I can shoot, but I can't target. So, out of like 21 arrows, I got 2 on the board. -shrug- Not everyone is Katniss dammit.

I went shopping like well, me. I bought a lot of stuff, but they are all so cheap. I bought this pair of branded skinnies at S$15 only. And some goods from American Eagles, which is fabulous cause I actually like their stuff. Oh and of course, chewing gum. That is important shit man. 

I know it is funny cause my exam is round the corner but I am on vacation. Which is so ironic, really. But I had fun, shopped, basked in the sun, swam in the pool, and have special local food. Fuck what you think. 

The malls there make me happy. And I like to have good buys. 

Anyway, I didn't manage to get any Dunkin' Donuts while overseas. Dunkin' Donuts are amazing. I really really love them. They are my number one. And don't come preaching to me about Krispy Kreme, I never force you to like Dunkin', don't force me to go Krispy. 

Whenever overseas, I hunt for wifi. Life of an iPhone user. #firstworldproblems

After getting back it was just a lot of studying involved with a lot of the most detestable module subjects. And yes I'm only saying that cause I hate studying.

I completed both examinations now and I am happy to say that I am a free bitch, baby. Oh and that I got a haircut. I should maybe line my blogger against my instagram so people know what I am referring to. I do know I can upload photos but guess what, I am just too lazy to do so. Sue me.

My hair is short and fluffy. I feel so light. Short hair girls have more fun.

I got myself a blazer from the Salvation Army. And I am so thankful cause the tag wrote $25 but apparently there was this storewide promotion and the bill came up to $20. Which is WAY below my expectations, and budget. Hooray for sales. :D

I headed out to Lot 1 and Bukit Panjang Plaza after exams to meet Ying Hui and Keh Jun. Not immediately though, cause when exams are over and project results are out, things get a little bitchy. But we eventually had dinner and got to Daiso to get my boxes to store my socks and tights. They are getting in the way, along with collecting dust. It was gross when I was packing my stuff last night. I was disgusted by my own habits.

We met and complained about anything under the sun and threaten one another what to do and what not to even try doing. Cause that's what friends do. 

Friendzone. I love that word, it's the single most hilarious word alive.

  Nationwide celebration
Posted Thursday, August 09, 2012 // 2:47 pm
Fly off the shelves
It's only right to have a post on the nation's birthday about the country. But I shall not cause I'm going to hell anyway. But to save myself from BURNING in hell, I will try to keep this post upbeat and positive. 

That means no bitching and it is very hard for me to do.

So I shall just talk about the great stuffs I have done for this past week. 

Let's start with Tuesday, cause I practically did nothing on Monday, and Saturday. Sunday was mediocre so let's not bore you guys with things that is only funny to me and my sister.

Okay so Tuesday, the day I have a short notice lecture on one of the most boring modules of all time. It's not that boring compared to what I've seen on Twitter from Keh Jun and all the JC mates but whatever. 

Here's the thing about me and school, I always arrive 40 minutes early and so I always have A LOT of time to spare. I usually go and print stuff or just take the shuttle bus to ride off 20 minutes. Then the rest of the spare time I boot up my Mac and tumblr. Oh wow I just fully described my routine for the past few months in twenty seconds. 

Anyway, I did what I do and went to class, sat by the wall so that I have the power plug next to me, and Tumblr. The teacher ran on about Media ethnics (Oh wow I actually remembered) and all the problems that the media kena bombed by the public. The whole Beijing Olympic singing swap. Honestly, I think people go THAT crazy because it is a little girl. If the singer is not a kid, I think the whole appearance judgment excuse would suffice. Not that I think they should do that, it is wrong, but the uproar is flawed in a sense.

Elton started talking about how they should put the kid with the real voice on stage because even if she is "ugly" to them, a kid would be THAT "ugly". I honestly laughed a little too hard.

Also the teacher showed us the "Take off your bra over your shirt" thing that 98.7 had a few years ago and whether it is inappropriate or not. But all I can think of is when the parents are fetching the kid to school and hear it on the car all at the same time, what their expression would be. Oh gosh, imagine the amount of pokerface in the vehicle.

He also asked who is willing to work for FHM and to be completely honest, I think if I do work there, I'll be a fucking great editor. I give the public what they want at least, like "For the boob guys" issue or "For the butt guys" issue. Please the crowd at least. I have no problems for all type of magazines, my biggest issue with them is simply the Photoshop thing that is so distorting. Come on! Tell the truth, hypocrites.

That's an ironic sentence. 

Anyway, after class I went to the Mac clinic to check why is it so uneven and apparently my top deck went haywire. I'm too lazy to call them though, and I really don't want to risk my hard disk. And they say my hard disk is slightly corrupted, but fixed it eventually. But here's the funny part.
(After the hard disk clean up) 
Technician: Okay it's done. Take a look. 
A: Okay. (pokerface trying to find out what to check) Okay it's good, thank you.

There was the National Day celebration thing that NP had that was simply a concert. Lotsa singing and dancing. But best part is there is free food and I had seconds, so I'm not complaining. Oh there's goodie bags too. Though the things inside were crap.

I had a interview later that day and I was being interviewed for a position in the committee of Hua Yuan (I honestly don't know the English to that). I think I did pretty well, I always feel that I do well for interviews. Cause it's honestly the only thing I am good at, talking. Can't help if I'm a natural born presenter.

Okay now on to Wednesday. 

Wednesday had a test that resulted in full blown negativity, so let's skip that.

I went shopping after that test and had a blast walking about Singapore to find the best deals. Hui Jun and I ended up with aching feet and burnt hair from the Sun but other than that, we are pretty cool shoppers.

Got a bunch of stuff from H&M and Uniqlo. Thanks to extended GSS, saved a bunch. Got a bunch of tee from H&M that was going off like $5, $7. I took off the rack an entire selection and was about to get into the changing room when I saw a line of people longer than the tail of T-Rex. 

What did I just say?

I settled the both of us down to make sure we purchase the right stuff. Which literally translate to the cheapest stuff. I swear we were down from like 9 to 3 things. It was pretty funny. 

I tried a whole bunch of things in Forever 21 just to spend off my voucher but they were either too tight or of the weirdest colour or out of my size. Dammit, step your game up bitches.

Okay I think I just wrapped up what I have for the past two days and woah, minimal negativity. I am impressed. Imma give myself a slap in the back. Yea that sounds about right.

Happy birthday Singapore. You're aging!

  Word play
Posted Tuesday, June 19, 2012 // 10:19 pm
It's really not for everyone
Now I have my iPhone on 3G every time I'm at home make things a lot easier than before. I mean, I can be notified of a tweet dedicated to me even when I am on the laptop doing other things like for instance, homework. The distraction, which simply is just the constant reminder of checking the social media sites every half an hour, is much less disturbing. Also, since I hate checking Facebook and Twitter and even my email on my phone, I can simply do basic things like cancel the notification and check them later at home or just use text message like iPhone is a regular phone. 


And let's face it. It's not. It's a freaking computer. Just less... efficiently.


Okay moving on. My homework is freaking multiplying. I actually use the reminder app in my phone to actually remind of the work I have just in case I forget. Though I don't put down the due date so it is just there. Every time I get the joy of ticking off one item, I would replace it with another. Like, I'm done with the editing, but now I have to get started on the powerpoint slides. It's never ending.


I only got the project work's due date in mind. And all I know is that it is due two weeks later. That's fucking all. I am without a doubt, screwed.


Shopping on Friday and Saturday really took the stress off me. Though it put extra stress on my wallet but let's forget about that. Flea was really great this time round. I found some $0.50 stuff and even a $1.00 shirt. What the what!


Got a $5 dress to wear for presentation and that is just mind-blowing awesome. It's appropriate length! I mean, so much cloth for $5. :D


I have a lot of trouble finding an appropriate outfit for presentation cause most of my stuff shows too much cleavage and you never want any focus there while doing something serious. It's annoying how much things you can't wear. It has got to be flattering and yet not made of denim or cotton. 


Ugh, sore throat and pimples. My pimples better get better soon or I will rage. Freaking painful. I don't even care it "disfigures" my face, just stop hurting the fuck out of me.

  Surge of excitement
Posted Sunday, April 15, 2012 // 1:27 pm
Override the circuit
My previous post got about a hundred over pageviews. I guess Singaporean are really sentimental over King Albert Park. It's been there for ages after all. I'm there since young and now I'm all grown up, seventeen and preparing to start school tomorrow at the polytechnic right next to it. Oh hey! Did I just built my future around that King Albert Park since I was an infant of some sort.


If that's the case, I'm really insightful.


Anyway, Speech Day on Friday was pretty much a lonely event for me. I sat at the same spot for an hour or so with no one next to me, waiting for 15 rows of people to march up the stairs and receive their awards before it was my turn. But my trophy was very pretty. :D I am very please that it has my name engraved on it. That would help supporting my statement about my perfect Secondary schooling years to my kids in the future, if we end up on the streets. 


Moving on, I was very happy to see all my friends from my cohort. It's been a while since I've bumped into anyone. And I really missed the 2B1 boys. What's awesome about them too is that if you ever see them, they will appear in a group, so that saves so much trouble trying to catch up with them one by one.


I had a great time talking to my homies at Pasta Box. Update them about what my school's going to offer me and learn about the amazing things they have going for their education. Ying Hui's flying to Venice. (Boy, that would be a LONG flight) Sam and Hui Jun getting by school and Joanne going to have her A level Chinese soon too. 


I finally got myself some new basic shirts and shorts that is useful for my new schooling years. Okay I have to admit, I got them because I was feeling a little freaked and I needed retail therapy. I am excited, for Poly to start, but at the same time, I am scared to bits. I am so nervous on what my education will turn into at this point. I mean, Polytechnic is so different from everything I have been learning. The system, the material, the approach. It's a 180 degree change for me. But I'll have to say I am still more excited than nervous, though my nervousness just reached a new high.


Got to get used to waking up before the sun rises this whole week. And meeting new people who may or may not even impact my life. It's a whole new beginning. And boy, do I need to calm down.

Dig my heart out
After watching a whole bunch of Kingsley's video on Youtube, I feel like my replies to people are way more cynical than before. Like if someone tell me a problem of theirs that they feel is sucky but I just think they are alright, I would reply, "Come on, things can go worse! You could get AIDS!"  


Hey, it's not as bad as what I could have said. When someone thinks that they've reached rock bottom, they wouldn't really want to hear another go, "Like that only! Move on please!" Now that's inconsiderate. That's not only inconsiderate, that is mean too. And I'm not that mean to my friends. 


I decided to pack my schedule for the week with much thought and I am so happy to realise that I am a little busier these days. :D


I am clearing whatever that has an expiry date away and I feel like I'm rearranging everything pretty sequential. It's helpful. Fabulously awesome. I would even decide what I shall eat and what I should do the next day. My days aren't that boring any more. 


Got to start clear the enrollment stuff too. I have three more days to have everything ready. Hmm. Need to be more organised man.


I guess I am following a more consistent timetable now. I am using my time better. Yes, I still don't have a job, I still am rotting at home almost daily. But time I spent doing things I like is not wasted. I have to go buy dinner later. That was just a random note to self. 


I finally completed My Week With Marilyn. I am a terrible movie buff, I left both MWWM and We Need To Talk About Kevin on hold for about a week. I don't know why. Hormones, I blame. But since my period ought to be coming soon, I badly need such movies to lift mood up. And spend time doing anything other than bitching. 


I was cranky that I don't know why I am cranky yesterday night. I need to be struck by lightning or something. Stupid moodswings. God.


I actually bought this at Forever 21 because I was under all these inexplicable stress. :/
And because I don't have a pullover or anything teal in my closet. It was fifteen bucks because of this sales going on.


My godmum wants to wear whatever I buy home. She is awful.

  I have no new year resolution
Posted Saturday, January 21, 2012 // 10:14 pm
I don't even have something to do now
Call me annoying but I'm looking for another job. I don't feel like going back to my old one because I have a burning hatred for IMM itself. So I'm feeling more of like bakery and stuff. Learn a thing or two about baking. And maybe even able to stand behind the cashier for once. 


Yes, I am extremely intrigued by how the cashier operates. Though I'll probably be where the cakes are. Oh, maybe I can try Breadtalk! Neh, they are more into breads. I guess I just need to stop watching Cake Boss and Fabulous Cake. But it is seriously addictive. It's so amazing to see these people chunk out cakes like they are fucking drinking water.


And they would shave off some parts to make it smooth. And the next scene they are practically smooth and silky. It's insane, unbelievable. And their red velvet cakes are SO red. I always boo those cakes that isn't red velvet. I would be all, "Honestly? Lemon over Red Velvet?" Watching cakes shows are my secret guilty pleasure. I would turn my TV all day just to watch its marathon.


But back to looking for a job. I am pretty torned. I would prefer a place near home and a basic pay of $6 an hour. I'm most probably working part time. Correct that, I am definitely working part time. Maybe I am just irritating.


I just cleared my closet. No didn't clear it exactly. But I did took the ones I don't want or I don't wear out and did some unspeakable things to them.


Kidding, I just gave them away.


My closet is much neater now. I even labeled them. So I would never find an excuse to say, "I don't know what to wear". I labeled them into different sections even. Like for my tees, I'll have "basic", "pattern-all-over", and "graphic design". And for my dresses, there's "bodycon", "fit and flare" and simply "flare". They all look so pleasant to the eye now. :D Proud of myself.


I have so many pairs of jeans. 5, exactly. I have 4 straight-cut ones though I look horrible in them, well, only half of them look tolerable to say the least. Those jeans tempt me to give it to Levi's so I can have some money back or something.


I have these off-moments while packing cause I would forget to consider if I want them ever or not. I would even pack them nicely and labeled them before realising that I forgot to consider that factor. Such a frustrating afternoon for me today.


I have yet to pack my accessories neatly, though. I packed them before but then it slipped my mind that I have some hair accessories that require some arrangements. But it won't take too long so I'm still good. 


Oh yes I went to shop with Keh Jun yesterday. I needed to do a meetup with my seller at City Hall so I figured that going with Keh Jun after the CNY celebration in CTSS would be a obvious itinerary. So after the meetup we went to Peninsula. He got these pair of Berms and shirt which is both black. I don't get his type of concept about Chinese New Year anymore. -face palm-


Then we about Raffles City for my own shopping. It's so funny how uncomfortable he was. 


I shall go and marvel at my closet now.

  All I need is a real hug

And a flare skirt
Got out of the house to go shopping with Ying Hui and Sok Yee at Orchard yesterday. So super fun. We met at Orchard MRT first before heading to the Forever 21 at Orchard Exchange. Ying Hui gasped at a lot of things. And saw a what she calls a "netball skirt", but it's a what I call a "Jason Wu inspired skirt". It's pretty funny.


We left and went to Accessorize cause Soks says that there was a huge sales that goes up to 70%. And I found some opaque tights that I have been looking for that were really cheap thanks to the awesome sales. I bought one red and one black. They were both initially $12.90 and $16.90, but after the discount, they cost less than $10. I was so elated when I saw them. They aren't super opaque but hey, still obvious they are, bitches.


After that was a whole bunch of strolling about Ion and checking out the sales items. Looking at fancy clothes and cool bags. Ying Hui gasped at a whole bunch of shoes again. 


Then magically, in just one split instant, me and Ying Hui became third wheels. Yeah, Derrick appeared and we left for Somerset. It was drizzling when we were out of the station. And we headed for H&M. Then as I turn my head over, I saw Derrick cover Soks' head with one hand even though it doesn't even help. And I just went, "I never felt so alone in my life now."


H&M always has Onesies and I can't help laughing at the toddler's version of it. 


We were hanging around the babies and maternity when we saw the maternity bra. And Ying Hui was marveling at it for some time before asking, "So young got wire liao ah?!" It was a golden blonde moment. It is so funny. She looked at the bra thoroughly without noticing the word "MATERNITY". 


But then again, Soks came up with a better one when I took a sequined bandeau and place it where it should be and she yelled, "Oh that's where it supposed to be?" Followed by, "I thought it was a headband." It was priceless. Even Derrick knew it's a bandeau, or at least, where it is supposed to be. 


I really like such blonde moments with awesome friends.


And now I just really need a hug.

  A tragic feeling
Posted Monday, December 19, 2011 // 9:26 am
Unmistakable symptoms
I am in one of the moods when I am just unhappy and ready to kill the entire world.


Well, at least I have completed several musical movies that I promise myself I would by the end of this year. I love musical movies. They are all so impressive. And I really appreciate how they turned all these incredible broadway musicals into movies to reach out to a wider audience and spread Art all around the globe. 


I finished watching Dreamgirls and Chicago, and earlier that Mamma Mia! So I still have a ton to clear, really. Currently looking at West Side Story, Rent, Were The World Mine, and Grease. I should download then before talking.


Ah, I feel so drastically moody. I think it's because of either the lack of food or shopping. I want to eat the froyo I redeemed from Frolick with my almost filled up card. But there's this kid that is still in the house and my godmum would scold me for eating it in front of her. And she is only gone now, 20:17. That is way past my dessert time. No wonder I am moody. 


But good news is that I am going out tomorrow to spend and Wednesday for the Titanic exhibition. I can't wait. The Titanic exhibition with my homies and well, it's at MBS. I like the reaction I get when I say I am going to MBS. The look of rich on my face even though I am simply entering an exhibition for 20 bucks. And I get to dress up. I like occasions where I can dress up. Cause I hate looking like some drag in oversize tee and washed-out pants. 


Mr Cellophane and Cell Block Tango is stuck in my head all at the same time. I think I shall make a mash-up of them.


Neh, I'll never do that, I don't know how to.


Another good news is that Kim Jong-il is dead, well, let's just hope North Korea won't continue to self-distruct themselves by cutting out all ties from the world. 


I shall go and pick out what I shall wear tomorrow. Just in case my god mum barks at me for taking way too long. Not. Guilty!

  Movie and madness
Posted Tuesday, December 13, 2011 // 9:33 pm
I am so looking forward

Tomorrow is my last day of work and I can't explain how excited I am. I would want to tour Singapore if I could. And not to mention shopping. It will be epic. 


I bought myself this just to give myself a break from the madness from work. It is a terrible environment there. I just feel so uncomfortable there. Working at my workplace is like a constant test of sanity and this unstoppable flow of annoying-ass people that can literally drive you crazy.


Back to the book. I love the movie very much and so I decided to get the novel. It's only $10.30 with membership promotion at Popular. And I am pretty lucky because it was the last book at Popular and it is out of stock at Page One. I got it this afternoon and I am currently at chapter 10. 


I am insanely in love with the book. It's funny yet heartbreaking at the same time. It's a beautiful.


I got the Edusave Awards letter. Turns out I am eligible for EAGLES. That one that is given to students that are awesome. No just kidding. It's a combination of leadership, academic and CIP. I think it's just two hundred dollars worth of Popular voucher... No complaining, I can get tons of new books. 


Oh yes, I bought the new 8DAYS that has this movie booklet. It consists of all the movies that will be on the silver screen from January to March. And I already tore out the ones I want to watch next year. 

  1. Brave
  2. Mirror Mirror
  3. The Iron Lady
  4. Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted
The above according to interest in watching. 

I went out to watch Breaking Dawn with Hui Jun just now and she went home taking the wrong bus. She's so hilarious. Oh yes, there was these two girls who was watching Breaking Dawn too and they were sitting behind me and Hui Jun. They have the most epic reactions ever. 

Exhibit A: The scene was the very end of the movie when all the shots were on KStew and they just keep going, "SHE'S SO HOT! SHE'S SO CHIO!" And me and Hui jun just keep looking at each other while trying to hold our laughter in. They were just so... mesmerized by all the... weird things. I don't get them.

We both had a hard time getting the disturbing giving birth scene out of our heads. It was just awfully gross. All the blood and guts. Argh. It was just, stomach churning.

  Let the moment kill you
Posted Saturday, November 12, 2011 // 10:18 am
Lose everything you had


I did not blog yesterday, 11/11/11. I should have, but hey, I can't reverse time. Oh well. I did spend a wonderful time on this date though. One of the best times I had.


I've had the time of my life~


I need to stop.


Oh yes let me introduce my hipster self first! 
Yes this is me. I had to choose dark brown hair even though my hair is the blackest black. There wasn't much choice, really. But other than that, all the things there are pretty much legit. Dark hair, bangs, rectangle glasses, dresses with wild prints, dark cardigan and red sneakers. Treat the dark as BLACK.


I love my red sneakers. They are practically endangered now. I remember when red was still the bomb and everybody had one. But now, the common colours are black and white. I seldom see red on the shoes anymore. :( That is sad. 


You can create your own hipster self here:
Create them here
Yup. It's that easy.


Back to my 11/11/11. I spent my 11:11:11 on the bus though. Was on my way to Prom shopping with Ying Hui, Sam and Hui Jun. I love yesterday so much, I believe it is probably the best shopping/outing experience we had. We were doing our thang, gossiping, shopping, having fun. It was a great day. Fantastic way to celebrate the date.


Oh we all manage to get all our gear for Prom. Woo, can't wait for the day to arrive. I would probably need to start my plans soon.


We combed the entire Orchard Road, okay, not the entire. I was wearing my wedges and entire would be equivalent to my knees dislocating. Oh right, we roamed Ion, 313, and even almost risked H&M. But that would be crazy.


Speaking of H&M, I can't wait to see the Versace for H&M to hit the stores. 


We were so indecisive we just decided for my sister to join us and give us her opinion. Which was totally worth the wait.


I was quite happy they all stayed on till about 5.30 pm. Honestly, I thought one or two of them would leave earlier or be disinterested within the few two hours. But I don't know why, probably adrenaline, we all were having so much fun to leave. It was fantastic. And my legs still hurts.


So thankful to have gone through a decent Prom experience with every one of them at the same time, even though some of us has gotten the dress. Going to the same Prom can't compare to the experience of Prom shopping and going berserk because the Perfect Dress or Perfect Shoes has vanished from the face of the Earth. I am going to have the complete package for Prom. :D

  Money or freedom?
Posted Sunday, September 25, 2011 // 4:41 pm
Money or freedom?
So my godmum asked me would I want money or freedom if I had the choice after the Channel U commercial on that stupid teen show. 


And immediately I said, "Of course money lah!"


She never said or defended "Freedom" in any way as though she knew I would change my mind after thinking through my impulsive answer. Believe or not, after just 5 seconds I changed my mind. She is psychic. I like it.


I can't be enclosed in any where for long term. I need to go somewhere new or visit outer space at one point in time. I mean, I don't even have my own room and I just have my own corner which I used the space so fully. Well, because that space is only my bed and my books. So I study there frequently.


I like the idea of freedom. I mean, not the individual type, the society type. It's no big secret that I hate the society I am living in except for the numerous rules to protect women's rights. But if I can free the society a little bit more, I think this will be the best era ever.


So I went shopping yesterday at Orchard and saw the shocking queue outside H&M. It was just frightful. I hate queuing and the amount of people doing so makes me wonder if H&M just opened or is closing down. Weird.


The Uniqlo in 313 have this massive sales and I found gold in there. I got this tunic at L size though I should be able to wear an S. There was only L sizes left and this is only grey one left. I remember it was out for $30.90 initially but I bought it for $14.90! 
It is not a pajamas. 


I surprised myself when I found this reject goods rack beside the Bra section. And all the things there were going for $4.90. They would have labels saying there is a stain at the collar but no matter how I flip the shirt, I can't see that stain so I bought a polo tee from there and I wanted to grab another Mickey tee also for $4.90 but the stain was rather visible. 


The things there are practically half price now so it's totally wise to go there now to replenish your wardrobe or something. (Y)

  I remember watching the mascara tears flood the ivories and I thought, "It's OK to be sad."
Posted Saturday, August 13, 2011 // 1:33 pm
I've been trained to love my darkness.
Don't want to sound mean but the American currency currently is such great news to me. Not that "USA-is-no-longer-a-superpower-yay", it's the "time-to-shop-America-fashion-online-so-they-can-ship-goodies-to-me-yay".

Hey, the lower the currency, the greater the deal I get online right? Moreover I never tried online shopping so I shall flip through some catalogue. And and and, if I were to buy something from them, their economy will do better no? I don't know, the money they earn, the more the tax, the better the rebate and everything! :D I feel great just thinking about the great deed I'm about to do. One step closer to my goal of being Mother Theresa.

No just kidding.

Well, after looking through these catalogues, it's not very fruitful. I can't believe the cheapest brand is already Forever21. I tried America Apparel and wow, it's just boobs all over. And there is so few dresses and everything under $30. And American Eagle Outfitter is too expensive, those under $10 is only scarfs.

Argh, that sucks. Funds, funds, funds, funds.

Ah yes, Miss Tnee asked the class to summarise their life in six words and Ana was smart enough to come up with "Cannot be summarised in six words". Mine was "Living halfway between fantasy and reality". Inspired by Gaga yes.

I feel hungry all of a sudden. So I'm out.

  When I start to freak
Posted Wednesday, August 10, 2011 // 5:32 pm
I suffer my relapse
Have a whole bunch of tests in two days and I am honestly dying. I mean, I knew that Secondary Four life was tough (C'mon, who doesn't believe it when our Primary school teachers warned us so), but this is getting ridiculous. I woke up at 10 this morning for the very first time in a very long time!

That's how tired I am!

Actually no cause I woke up at 8 and went to pee but decided to continue sleeping the moment I reached my bed. :P

Ying Hui's present is my final shopping trip. :( How very sad, I can't do this!

And I need to keep off the computer too. But I studied my Chemistry and Humanities, I hope I still have then in my mind by tomorrow. The stress is killing moi. Wait, when is the English oral? Oh boy.

I need to watch so many movies too. How am I ever able to find time for leisure anymore? -cries-

  I have been so lazy
Posted Sunday, June 19, 2011 // 4:40 pm
I'm so happy I'm nearly done with my homework
Shopping around Orchard Road made me thinking. Why is there so many of the same shops around this area?
I wanted to buy this romper but they didn't have my size and I couldn't find it anywhere else after that. It sucks.

I can't believe how well Isabel is with Orchard Road even though she nearly got us lost while looking for Knightsbridge. That bimb.

Hunting for messenger bag was a complete flop even though we did find some good deals available at New Look and Topshop, thanks to the GSS. I really love shopping, or window shopping.

I was nearly beaten when I completed the tour about Orchard. Did I mention how we embarrassed ourselves while shopping.

I wanted to buy the magazines at the stall at the basement of 313@Somerset and I took the two magazines and placed it with a little too much force at the money changer booth. And I woke the sleeping Indian guy with the thud before realising that the small hole was not able to slide my magazines through for a carrier. Isabel was laughing so hard she need to pee.

Thankfully karma works in a wondrous way

Isabel was checking out some shorts at this abandoned rack at Forever 21 before she turn and knocked her head into the rack a little higher than the one she was touching. She stop for a moment before saying, "ouch". She so slow.

Oh yes, and I love that dress on you, really highlight your long limbs. Just get rid of that hairband as soon as possible.

Universal Studios was so amazing especially with the rollercoasters rocking and rolling. I had so much fun posing for the pictures. Looking stupid is what I do.

I love the rides, they are so amazing. And Daniel is such a doll. :D

  My baby tee
Posted Sunday, April 17, 2011 // 8:47 pm
Kiss my fat ass
I am so happy. I have no idea how finding what I wanted for a long time can make me so happy. I thought I would only be thrilled. But this is more than that. It is major.

Say hello to my new baby! See the uncanny resemblance? Yeah, it's from TopShop and I love it to hell. I am so excited when I saw it. Then there was the shorts and another fringe shirt. Which doesn't rock on me. I was secretly shouting glamour in the changing room. One of the reasons why being a girl is fine.

And I have one thing off my wishlist. Whoopee.

Neh, you don't want to know my wishlist, it's too long, and constantly updating. Just know that going to Paris, France is on the top of the list.

I like shopping. A lot. And I like window shopping even more. I love flea markets too. And blogshops. Boy do I like a lot of things. I like pretty clothings. And accessories. Shoes too. I need to stop.

I regret nothing.

I like to open my wardrobe so much it became a hobby of mine. Yeah, I'm not normal, I never am, deal with it.

Colours fill my bloody life. \m/

  By sneaking in the cinema
Posted Friday, December 31, 2010 // 9:52 am
I've done the boldest thing in my life

I watched TV, just so you know. I am not the geek who stay home with her computer on right beside her as she rush through all her homework. I work at night, 2200 - 0030, with no computer on. Watching Boys Over Flowers till midnight but still, you get that I still complete my homework yeah.

I don't follow, but watch Criminal Minds, Ugly Betty, How I Met Your Mother, Australia Next Top Model, America Next Top Model, Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader, House, The Nanny, Masterchef US, Family Guy, The Simpsons and Cougar Town. I think. There used to be CSI, but many shows caught up with it.

And I love Amanda's style. She is so meaningly adorable. Gosh I want her face and body and everything. She is a perfect barbie doll. I wanna draw on her face cause she so got the thing. Who has such god-given features. She is probably my second most envy people ever since Emma Watson.
Oh right, I want her wardrobe in Ugly Betty too, so bad, so bad. :D
Oh gosh have I ever blog about how harsh the fashion industry is towards Ugg Boots. They just immediately say no. I was watching ANTM and the poor girl ended up booking NO jobs. I swear, that totally sucks. :( It's so unflattering. Wow. I hate this kind of Winter hat, it's fugly. I personally feel that it ruins a good winter outfit. So when I scan through the poll of "Who wears it better?" on the Forever 21 blog, if I was to see that particular hat, I choose the other girl. It makes your head look SO big. Like some housefly! Or erm, I don't really bother.

Definitely not my thing, I guess.



This is how she ask me out, by telling me she hates me. And I agreed. I am such a "yes girl".

Topshop, Pull And Bear and River Island has crazy sales. So Forever 21 is like SO. DAMN. SUCKY. I tried on this Gaga pants at River Island, I look so much like Miley Cyrus. Gosh. But I have to admit, I look hotter than her. Like duh.
It's pretty nice, and cool. I called this the Michael Jackson pants but that's just me. It's 10Euro, but 60Sing. What the fish? I rather they ship to me! Rip off.
I want to buy the cropped bustier from Pull And Bear. >:( I have nothing to pair with my long booty-hugging skirt. Argh. I hate dressing up. So ironic. That black floral prints, so rich and sexy.
I sneaked into the cinema to watch Meet The Parents: Little Fockers. There is so much sexual jokes inside. The comedy is pure funny. The plot is weak though, EXTREMELY. So great job in covering them with the jokes. -shrugs-
I like Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller in Night At The Museum more. Just saying. Jessica Alba is a crap head, crazy nutty woman. Funny, but seriously makes no sense, at all. '_'
