 Attending my sister's graduation exhibition has been the single biggest highlight of my week. I just have this sense of peace and joy running through me when I point out, "Hey that's my sister's work". It's a very surreal moment for me. It's basically all I hope to do for the rest of my life, if possible. Well, if I can feed myself doing so, I will do it. Anyway, if you have a publication, or anything related to design really, that you need done, you should really check out my sister's portfolio. Elsie Chong Portfolio | EmailShe is pretty incredible. If you think I'm impressive in my ways with typography and graphics, wait till you see what she is capable of. (Mainly because my inspiration are simply rip-off from Tumblr and she is legitly creative) So aside from that, since it has been the two-weeks holidays that is basically school with no structured lesson, I have been busy with homework. And I have been a little too crazy with it. So far I have just finished the second draft for an essay that is due in August and I am awaiting reply for an assignment that I am pretty sure less than half the course has even begun to do. I am also preparing myself for two huge group assignment that is due in August and they actually require some teamwork that I have no patience for. (With that being said, they are really cool with me being so "on task") And I have a test when school reopens that I have not studied for because hey, I don't think I will remember the stuff that I have covered a week from now. I don't even recall what I had last night. Oh wait, I do. I have been operating a free tuition for all my friends on the upcoming After Effects assignment. So far I have three students lined up and all paying me with a meal. Which made me realise what cheap labour I am and how alike I am with Confucius. Dude, I am a saint. Maybe my bad karma is cancelled out by that. Nope, kidding. I still am going to hell. But my schedule is packed for the coming week. So that's neat. Because I honestly can only spend so long with the baby. Considering that she sleeps 70% of the time. She is preciously adorable though. But I can't spend the whole day with her if I want to feel productive. Unless I do online shopping, then maybe I would. But no, GSS is here and I ought to get out the door for some of that greatness.

I'll be the scissors
 My teacher had us watch a documentary that he has made without prior notice that it was directed by him. Then he want us to post 5 questions to ask the director or anything about the film. I have came up with a bunch but I have managed to shortlist 5 to get the tasks completed.
How awkward would it be to post our questions to him?! What if we are asking some pretty hard hitting questions because we want to know why certain parts of the film is so bad?! It's a lose-lose situation! What if he then takes it personally and deduce a significant amount of marks from the class participation segment that contributes to the final grade and I get a C? I don't think I can let myself live to see a C on a rather important module that will affect the certificate that I walk out of Ngee Ann Polytechnic with.
Good grief. There is a time and a place to be completely, out-in-the-open honest with someone, and that is the deathbed.
Only then you have nothing else to lose.
I headed to school to watch the Chinese Drama performance last night. All because Siying and John are in it so I am obligated to do so. No just kidding. I overdressed for them apparently. So I did subconsciously look forward to the performance. The script was pretty sexist and the lighting was terrible coloured. But other than that, the performance was fine. It's not the best I've seen but I don't think it is the worst experience I had in the theatre. Plus I was there with my mates so I'm not having it tough.
John with make up tickled me endless so that was a huge plus.
As of this week, I have two bracelet, a set of 3 rings, a pair of nude flatforms and a denim jacket on the way into the mail for me. I am bored out of my wits to have turned to online shopping for a little boredom release. I have completed all the work I have to do and even finished up some loose ends for my mates because I have so much time to care about others. I'm really kind when I'm bored, apparently. I tried to put some energy to baking but I have no butter. So that's a bummer.
Everything else, school-wise, is in stand still motion until further notice or consultation. Which is why I had the time to head to the National Museum of Singapore this afternoon to check out the 50 years of television.
To be honest, it was pretty disappointing because it was a REALLY small exhibition, considering the history it had had and the amount of shows Mediacorp had produced in a whole. I mean, it wasn't solely a Channel 8 exhibition so I was weirded out when I didn't see iconic things from Channel 8 or Channel U or Kids Central or even Suria. The only other non-Channel 8 item was PCK's outfit. The rest of the ten exhibits were from Channel 8 and they are far too mainstream to be selling and advertising the exhibition by playing the sentimental card. As a kid who has been watching TV ever since she was 3 years old (and even had to wear glasses for that reason), it was hugely disappointing. The kid in me is just devastated. :/
I even noticed that the Nyonya kebaya outfit exhibited in the room wasn't the identical one that Jeanette Aw wore. What is with that hiccup dammit?

Don't be proud of the things you think you know.
 I'm honestly kind of amazing. I have this entire week planned out to have nothing to do because I want to keep my days blank to stay home and eat chocolates. I only have about 3 things on my to-do list so far since I have managed to postpone my commitments until the weekends or so. But I think I am far too lazy to start them. Which is rather ridiculous for someone like me since they are all simple task that can be done within 2 hours collectively. Good grief, my inertia is off the charts these days. I even took a nap while my group were busy with their project tasks because I had done everything there is in my part during the pre-production stage. I literally could contribute nothing to the post production segment except sorting out the already-done paperworks, which takes less than 5 minutes. It's horrible. I took a NAP. I snored while I nap. I was sleeping soundly (pun intended) while my group were slogging off one corner with the tremendous amount of editing. I'm lucky to have friends who allow me to sleep while they handle dreadful tasks. On the other hand, I did prepare everything nicely for them to begin the post-production work on so we can keep the ball rolling. Just without me rolling it. Team effort. I charge the front line, they attack the back less tediously. My way of sacrificing while I disappear from the battlefield. I literally have my Word document open for two days and I still refuse to complete it. Sigh... It's not rocket science Alicia, just get your butt on it.

And overly dressed
 My feet do hurt from the heeled sandals gripping onto my toes for the entire day. I just got back home so I think I did conquer about 11 hours in them walking about campus. The campus is my training field for fitness when I put on heeled footwear. It really challenges my stability and all... I had to really let myself usual priority on comfort but it was worth it cause I felt stunning. I shared with Si Ying and Wei Ting the most incredible ice cream with waffles from Marble Slab Creamery. I think that is my favourite waffle out there in the ice cream-verse, it is just airy and fluffy and everything nice. It is still insanely delicious even when it is soaked in melted icecream. I made the ingenious idea to top it with Red Velvet and Creme Brulee flavoured ice cream which was just the icing on the cake. We gobbled the entire thing up within minutes because it was so good. I made some pretty rated noises as I ate because it was just that explosive in my mouth. It was a good night spent considering the treat I had. Then I went to Holland Village with Anqi to have dinner because what the heck, she asked me out and I'm not gonna say no to something so flattering. We had dinner and looked at puppies. I think it is the most innocent date I have ever been to. I could now say that I'm sort of a playar in the field. Damn, if only I am a boy. I would be insanely charming and I don't even need the looks for it. Not that I ain't charming as a girl but I can't seem to understand how to do a sell out with boys. It's much complicated. Plus I am only good because I know what girls like. Back now it is back to work and issues with projects, so there goes the dolled-up days. Thankfully next week is e-learning week so at least I can retire my alarm and re-charged for a while. Labels: my gross friends, poly Posted Friday, October 25, 2013 // 9:17 pm
You don't have to laugh
 I have been stuck in school with excessively demanding lecturers that seem to have really high expectations for every single assignment they are throwing at us. Talk about stress. But I have gross friends to fill the bore so I think I am blessed in that way. Wrecking Ball is apparently the song of the week after Yuk Sing shared with us that the song is her ringtone. We oversing, not overplay, oversing the song in the matter of 5 minutes and ruined it for her. At one point, we played the chorus when Yuk walked through the door into the halls of the class. She was so mad, it was priceless. Other than that happy incident, the rest of the week is horrid. I had to buy and collect notes for the class last week but I only got the memo on Thursday so I figured I would go and check the price on Friday. But Friday was the last day for the sales, and I did not collect a deposit from the class. So I explained my situation to the vendor and they said they won't be in school on Monday but the notes will be with the library so it will still be available in stocks and all. I figured I will get it then when I get the money from the class and purchase it in the afternoon. But alas, not only was there not enough stock, there was a fucking change in price. It was fucking three dollars more expensive and I had to put down an order because of the shortage in stock. So I have to travel down the hill to get the rest of the notes two days later. And in fury with the sudden change in price in the matter of two days. If only I would just pay first and not deal with the crappy inflation. It was fucking ridiculous and I was so damn mad. The class was seriously nice about it though, so that was something to be really thankful about. I was expecting a backlash upon me because I would so blame myself if I fucked up like that. But they are really nice about the issue and that was really comforting. I still have a lot of research not done and I am pretty much done with my ranting so I shall get on with life with a calmer mind.

It was my inner stripper
  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. Labels: fashion, i love shopping, my gross friends, poly, school is killing me, shopping Posted Thursday, October 03, 2013 // 3:20 pm
 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. Labels: i love shopping, i watch tv, my gross friends, sales, shopping Posted Friday, September 27, 2013 // 12:15 pm
Blood
 I wanted to watch a sad movie yesterday but I had migraines again and it came in the midst of having both Siying and John with me so I had to chase them out of my house and into the woods to be eaten by bears while I sleep the pain away. No just kidding. But it was highly painful and my period did not help one bit so you could imagine the tears overflowing my heart. I had to put all my plans on hold, including watching Modern Family's premiere which was bloody torture. I waited so long but I had to wait longer because my body rejects pleasure. That sounds bloody wrong. I have terrible moodswings the past couple days that made me flood my Instagram with a lot of rage and angst. I suddenly view puns as my mortal enemy and take weird ass selfies of my face. What was I doing take an extreme close-up of my eyes, seriously? And I got really condescending in my tweets. I don't think I am good to be around at all. I watched Sleepless In Seattle in hopes that it could reduce me to tears but it didn't. Meg Ryan is really gorgeous but that's about all. It didn't reduce me to tears and I ended up feeling like fuck because I made a wrong choice in possible sad movie to watch. Which means I wasted approximately two hours of my life that I could never get back since I did not meet my objectives. I went and watched Ilo Ilo by myself cause as far as I know about films that win in the Cannes Film Festival, it probably would get some sort of recognition in the upcoming Academy Awards and I won't want to wait till then to torrent the movie and get caught trying. Because Singapore honestly have the strictest and most efficient manner of protecting its own product. By the way, the movie is incredibly shot and written and a great debut for Anthony Chen. It's the dream to have your first movie out with such high reviews so kudos to him. Now I am back to nursing myself out of pain by going to take a shower. May the odds be in my favour.

And I loved her for that
 I went out with Keh Jun the other day all prepared and excited because we have not met for so darn long. I mean we merely bumped into each other in school for split second then part to the monstrous pile of work. So that day was extremely rare and great. But of course something have to fuck the day up and that was that I forgot to bring my wallet. I was completely penniless, and devoid of any way to pay. I had to depend on him to pay my expense which involved mainly movie and lunch. So I was not some terrible gold digger out there to suck money out of a living soul. We watched The Bling Ring which was just another typical Sofia Coppola movie. I never liked what she writes but she does make pretty films. Anyway, we then went shopping which was pretty much fruitless and fun at the same time. I managed to distract myself away from the racks and racks of gorgeous clothing items. So that's another achievement on my own. Another thing this week is the release of the timetable. After three semesters of struggles, we finally get the perfect lecturers that I actually came to the course for. It's a huge relief to see all the names of the teachers with actual qualifications on the site. Cause honestly why the hell do we have teachers from other courses teaching us things that they obviously knew nothing about? Mid Autumn Festival was during this week too. So I partied all week. No I did not. But I celebrated like usual with the company of Siying and John. It was great. I have mooncakes, and tea. Oh I did not have any pomelo. Oh no... This year is a sham. Oh brother. This year is a complete sham. Labels: candy crush, movie, my gross friends, shopping Posted Monday, September 16, 2013 // 11:26 pm
He is a little hoarse.
 But I am not good with words or angst so let's just leave it as that. I got my head into the fashion season this time, immersing myself in the various pretty colours and textures coming down the runway. I still don't have a very fantastic sense of it but I do like what Zac Posen and Oscar de la Renta sent down the runway with. I mean, I recognise and am more familiar with those. I would wear DKNY's stuff and Jil Sander's but the rest don't scream to me as loud. It's a great week though. Lotsa eye-candy to feast on. :3 Other than my virtual life, I got my butt off the net and went to the airport with John and Siying this week. No, none of us are flying off, we just figured that we should head there and steal the places where Secondary/JC students study just for the sake of it. And try to shop duty free because... Well I can't spin that... Anyway, we spent a good afternoon there watching planes come and go, seeing people walking about, either going home or going overseas, shopping for tobaccos and liquors. The airport is really busy, but the atmosphere was exciting. The excitement in the people is infectious, really. I have been more stressed than usual but for good reasons. Though I do snap at people who bugs me but hey, don't bother me ever, I get sassy. -snaps in z-formation- Aside from that, I've just been baking non-stop. I need someone to sponsor me baking needs if I am going to have request man... Labels: bake, fashion, my gross friends, rant Posted Friday, August 23, 2013 // 12:26 am
 I've started this Charades fail thing on my Twitter because I just had to share all of Wei Ting's mistakes during the game that managed to make us pause the game just to laugh for 30 seconds straight. If you doubt what I am saying then see for yourself what I meant:    I cleared my closet and my table since the study break. So now I am restocking to fill them all up. No just kidding, I merely bought a handful of clothing items and have a pair of black sneakers coming my way. I did get rid of a bunch of other items, most of them end up from outdoor wear to indoor wear. So technically it's still below the limit of my closet. :P Don't judge me, I didn't have a lot of time to shop before with all the massive projects and tests so now I'm just loosening up a tad. I'm not continuing it after one last purchase, and that's for books. Because I desperately want to read The Fault In Our Stars and I no longer have the patience for the library to have one up for loan. The movie is currently being filmed and I hate looking at the Tumblr updates without knowing a shit about the plotline. So there, I'm making The Fault In Our Stars my last purchase so far. And it will work because I no longer have any money to spare using anymore too. -shrugs- Now if you will excuse me, I will continue my wild plans for this coming holiday break.
P.S: My plans have already included alcohol into the concoction.

I can't, it's too big to put out
 I was telling my groupmates earlier to treat me like the lovers they never have so that I can try my hardest to take things a little less intense than I need. Well, my exact words were to "pre-order some pleasant surprises". Because my heart need to get use to surprise, and to balance out the horrible heart attacks I could get from the various projects, I need nice things to happen to me that is beneficiary for what I intend to do. Or is beneficiary for my aching soul of despair. I tend to get overly dramatic when I am stressed out, fluctuating from being oddly calm to crying-panicky. In a matter of minutes. Though I probably already thought of the solution prior to my semi-true emotional breakdown. So yes, I need to be kept in a well-loved greenhouse to grow to the fullest I am. Even though I can still make it in the wild, with a bit of whining, that is. I spent the past few days spending way too much time with them loving bunch of burdens. They have gotten way too comfortable with me for my liking, invading into my property and all. :/ I should probably ban them. Soon. I'm just kidding. I enjoy their company. It's really rare to finding a partnership that doesn't make you tear your brains out and I am thankful that I have these burdens with me on the journey. They try their hardest to sew my hair back into my scalp when I get frustrated and tear them off, even though they are hardly the reason for my angst half the time. But anyway, here's to having a safety net. -cheers- Labels: my gross friends, poly, school is killing me Posted Monday, June 24, 2013 // 9:43 pm
Everybody deserve some love
 This week would be potentially disastrous for me since there is so many presentations and homework due and even if I am prepared, I would still be panicking before each of them. And handing up my work also make me feel like I'm setting my baby off to the battlefield. STAY SAFE DARLING~ I was exceptionally calm and composed while meeting with the irritating Video Production lecturer today. I think he doesn't like the demeanor I give to him every lesson, so he was trying to push my buttons a little harder than other students. Annoying? Yes. But he doesn't make me any less of the current potential than I am, so it really doesn't matter. I have a Chinese Literature test tomorrow that I have studied solely by hearing what my friends were discussing about the notes. I need to put more effort into tests and exams. Even if I loathe them to the end of the world. If I manage to get good results by that studying method, people, I deserve an award. Because I doubt I'll pull it off as well as I can if I were to actually study. :x Which I still won't, despite knowing I should. I would devote my time into working on my goddam presentations because I could excel in those ever more so than a million tests/exams. One thing I am looking forward is the end of this week, because I am celebrating with a whole bunch of outings. I'll be watching Monster University because I did my waiting and I goddam deserve my share of my childhood. It will be amazing, I was already laughing at the trailer. "I can't be late on the first day! -huff-" And I would probably be heading out to celebrate with my group mates because almost all our project would be settled and confirmed by then and even if they aren't, we would have time to complete them. So it's technically okay to celebrate. Or have a mini celebration at least. They are fantastic group mates, even the most burden one is the least burden amongst the burdens of the course. So hooray for cooperative people who would follow Alicia's possibly perturbing lead. -thumbs up- I hope I did a good job though, I wouldn't want them to suffer a "C" because we all put in to much effort to not a least get a "B" for the hard work and perseverance. -sigh- Let's hope for the best shall we?

Drunk on life
 I had my schedule of the past two days on my Youtube under my first VLOG, so if you are expecting a run-through, not going to happen. Watch the video to know, I'm only going to blog about the interesting parts of my birthday celebrations. Anyway, go watch the video at this point cause otherwise, you probably would be quite baffled by what I am about to share. Wei Ting is a horrible human being for dragging both me and Siying to Orchard to window-shop. She honestly didn't even have an agenda in her head on what to get for herself, which means she was practically wasting the day away trying to find something that doesn't exist. And we only learn that halfway through the trekking about. I couldn't believe I let her drag me to Far East Plaza to window-shop. That is practically Qoo10 in physical representation. Why would I have to go there if I can just look at them online? -facepalm- Siying really likes guy's clothes. I like guy's clothes to sleep, but that girl likes to wear them out. xD We walked about the male section at H&M for too long a period of time before heading back to the female section. :x Oh, right, funny anecdote. So the three of us were walking the stretch from H&M building to Ion Orchard, and this dude came up to us with the most hilarious agenda: Dude: Hi we are a group of students from xx. Would you like our survey? We are trying to raise awareness for Father's Day.I didn't know people weren't aware of their own fathers. They literally what brought them to the world. We also saw this guy giving out flyers at the underpass between Tangs and Ion wearing the Ngee Ann Polytechnic shirt. And we are pretty sure that what is on the flyer is not related to the school. :/ Anyway, the day got late so we head to Holland Village for the birthday dinner. Everybody was late for the thing, at least 10 minutes later than the reservation. But we still made it into the restaurant, thanks to a 15 minutes grace period. Something my Video Production teacher can learn from otherwise people probably won't even show up ever. John came in the latest, and immediately whispered a little to loudly to Wei Ting that the online reviews are not good. So I threatened not to treat him the food he ordered. That ungrateful bastard. Yuk Sing was laughing very hard whenever my sister spoke. It's so funny to watch because whenever she laugh, it's infectious. And her complaints about meeting the Video Production lecturer is plain funny. I think we make a nutty bunch, don't you think?

Far too near
 No seriously, all the lecturers were bombing us with all the assignments for the semester all at once that the workload suddenly look less tedious than before. Because you know that once you are done, you are done with the modules altogether. How incredibly unbelievable. Each modules seemed to only have 2 assignments this semester, instead of the usual 3. It's a little stupid, really, to test and stress us with 2 practices in a brand new module. It makes you gasp for air for a bit, but I guess things will be alright. Eventually. My friends have been teasing me excessively about my obsession with Benedict Cumberbatch because the Star Trek movie trailer is practically on replay every lunch time. Not that I mind though, because at least they pronounced his name right and understand my obsession with him after actually being interested in watching clips of Sherlock on my computer. A for effort. I've been having this pounding headache for the past two days. But I could not do anything about it because of the workload. I actually did a interview recording with it and I think I sounded fine. Even if I did not, it was a practice, not an assignment, so not that I care if I sounded awfully ill. I think it's the weather that is casting this spell upon me. But then again, I haven't been taking very good care of my body. I'm off to the endless pile of work now. Wish me luck.

Happy birthday loves
 Right now I'm all bundled up on my bed with my blanket wrapped around my legs like a burrito. I am so afraid of catching a cold, especially since next week is the last week before the much anticipated holidays to come. I really need a new pair of spectacles since the one I have on my nose is literally break part every now and then, like Bonnie Tyler's greatest hit. I should make a list of the things I need even though all I know I need is a pair of spectacles. But I doubt I would even commit into finding what I need. I realised that if I want to go to Vivocity from my school, I need exactly one hour to do so. I went to celebrate Sam's birthday immediately after school on Tuesday. We were supposed to meet at 5.30pm. Everyone was late but only my reason is valid. I left school at 4.45pm, I rushed my hardest. I have to admit that I was in a pretty foul mood that day. So grumpy as I was, I think I did well in concealing it for the birthday bash. And to everyone really. These few days are the peak project days/weeks/period, so I can never catch myself in a good mood recently. I am not stressed though, I still dream a lot, but I am just unhappy because of I don't know, fear? I want to do well so badly it makes me scared. And I noticed that it is making me scary too. People seem to be wary of having me in their group, but in a good way. Like they do their job on time, and they do a fine job, and they reach out whenever. I'm starting to think they are more concerned about me maintaining my GPA than them improving their GPA. But I guess they know I can buck up their GPA and trust in me despite my total confusion in leading the way. Organizing is so much tougher this semester. Anyway, we celebrated Sam's birthday, had Mussel Guy for dinner. I was really hungry, so I ordered Fish & Chips. I even finished their weird spinach soup. We had a chat about everything and had some good laughs reminiscing the time we had last year at the same time. Some things were repeated, some things were new. But most importantly, we had cake.
I was having this conversation with my sister about Stanley Tucci, and I was totally mind blown by the fact that he is straight. I mean, he was so convincing in The Devil Wears Prada that I didn't see it coming. He is one good actor cause when I watched The Hunger Games for about the fifth time then I realised he was Caesar Flickerman, and that was until my sister pointed out to me. I did not recognise him in Easy A either. He is just one of those guys who can look so jarringly different just by putting on a pair of glasses. So I'm not to blame. Okay maybe a little.

Is left to me
 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.

Something to carry for the rest of my life
 Okay I sound unusually negative for a birthday-ed girl. I was kidding, if you are an uptight freak. I have my fridge overload with cupcakes right now. A whole freaking bunch made/bought with love from my friends. And also a sliced cake from my sister which is in my tummy currently. I have a bunch of presents. Not a lot, but I have everything already, really. A lot of cards though, I might say. Which mean I would have to visit Daiso soon to get a storage for all of those I have accumulated over the years. For Friendship day, New year, Christmas, Birthday, I already ran out of space to store those useless presents I've received. Like keychain and teddy bears, which thank goodness I rarely even receive that. Anyway my homies got me a balloon and cupcakes during their surprise visit at like 5/6 pm. I was caught dead wearing the ugliest but most comfortable shit in the world. And yes, they saw me in full armour atrocity. Whatever. I specifically asked for no flowers though we kinda keep doing that during birthdays these days cause I really don't like seeing them bloom and die. I want it to bloom forever, dammit. Wow, and I wonder why I only receive praises after any performance I have done. Got a really sweet present from a new friend. Really thankful to have found someone not Kpop crazy in class and just as straightforward as me. Though I am a lot more outspoken than her and that's never a good thing, no matter how society butters that up. Really thankful for all the love I've received yesterday. It was a magical feeling. Love is magical. I love being loved. Thanks guys.

Take my whole life too
 Okay you know what, bad timing Alicia, scrape all your stupid illogical plans. I looked at the itinerary of this trip for secondary four and I'm really surprised they are going to spend like 5 days in London. I mean, I had rather high hopes for London but it wasn't all that jazz. I prefer Lake District more. That day was pretty magical. And the Wordsworth garden. I wonder if they would stop by there, they should. That place was amazing too. London was just as pretty as it looks. It would be cool, but it won't feel life-changing. But of course, it's not up to me on how they are going to envision it. Everyone deserve their own opinion on things they witness. I haven't talk about West Side Story have I? I don't really know how to put the experience in a whole. Bits and pieces formed themselves together in this memory space of mine. I really enjoyed what I been through. I was really glad I could dance with my Dance juniors for one final time. They really helped my rejuvenate the passion for dancing, and make me realise I love dancing but just not under THAT instructor. And we are really fast learners in terms of this so cheers to us. And I really enjoyed looking at Kang Wei pop his booty. Dat ass. I especially liked watching Parames dance, there was definite swag in all those movement. It makes me proud to watch her dance with such womanly confidence. I don't know how to put her attitude in her dance into words. It just very Beyonce. And I liked the feminism in Beyonce's moves. So Parames has that feel, I guess what I'm saying. Zenda's voice is like woah. The audio wasn't clear backstage but it didn't matter. I wanted to crank that speaker up. Just cause. It gave me goosebumps which is always a good thing when you're trying to project emotions in a performance. I love listening to her sing. It was pretty magical to hear someone sing that good live. I especially liked Toccata. Especially Safiy/YuXun's dance segments. Those sent chills into my spine. The robotic dance made me so damn proud every single time. And the ending is just magnificent. Yu Xun is obviously not the best mover in that bunch, but his hardwork really paid off and I am just really impressed every time he dances that part. Kenneth's scenes were all funny. He probably had the funniest lines and scenes to be involved in. But I am extra impressed with Jie Lin/Si Ai's arguing scenes that managed to be funny. Even that song that has the weirdest background music to sing a long. But I absolutely loved it, especially Si Ai's face during "I JUST DON'T!!!!" Kheng Siang and Annabel running towards me during finale dance made my moment. They mastered the dance like one hour before the show thanks to me and they don't just ignore my help by dancing far away from one corner. I could see them wandering their eyes just to locate me. And they would scramble to stand beside me. So extra cute, I know. And there's king of cute, Chong Ray, who probably had the grossest role to play. But he is still so cute no matter what. Love that cute, gross bastard. I don't even have to talk about Brenda, she knows my love for her. I pretty much summed up everything I have to say for Mr Chia AND Song Han. Even the negotiation for my role as a god_____ after Mr Chia's son is born is in the talks. And Song Han knows how fabulous I think of him. I think whatever jobs involved in a production, the one in charge of the backstage crew has it worse. Any cock-ups, jokes on him, not even the actors. And he took no such blame, which is rare because anything that can mess up never did. Rosabel made me laugh non-stop with her special talent. It's so amazing. She just sneeze whenever someone touch her nose, like, there's a button or something. Like what the actual fuck?! The crew is unusually professional for their age. I am really afraid to be near anyone of them during the show. They are all stressed-out and I was all backed-off. Do your thang crew. The stage is all yours. I was especially afraid of Sarah and Vanessa, I'm not afraid to say that now Oscar made me laugh big time with Glee reference on stage. Stupid. (Yu Xun and Zenda hugging)We were at the stage left okay. No talking should even be allowed. Anyway, I shall conclude with "Zavier you suck".
