 I watched the musical with Sam and Janine. And since they were nearly late, we had nowhere to sit but the very top of the house, which really strained the neck. We all came from an awful long day but despite the seating, we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. The musical was moving and heartwarmingly fantastic, which plastered a huge smile on my face when the ending was revealed. Spoiler alert: Someone dies and I smiled when the scene happened but not because that someone was the antagonist, but because the scene was so well-written by the lovely V.Tnee. I like good plots and Dear You had it. That lovely recreational activity aside, I did some great presentations this week which I walked out of the room feeling like I nailed it. One of them was a group project so yeah, we nailed it. It really feels good to have put in the effort of the satisfaction afterward where you know that things are right and you are capable to achieve. Because so far, life is hard and we barely achieve much. I got myself a brand new pair of glasses because I feel like I would need it for my upcoming trip to Hong Kong. I want to experience it with a clear mind through clear vision so I just went ahead and ordered one. It is no different from my current one except it is matte black and not dark-brown frames. So, don't freak. My scholarship interview was this week which I am currently having A LOT of mix feelings about. On one hand I feel like I did my best and portrayed my passion to the fullest but on the other hand, I am afraid they are not convinced. I really need any financial assistance I can get and if I lose this because I suck at being myself, I probably won't be too happy with myself.

The dark weather is hinting me to update my blog for I owe you guys some of my recent conquest over the past week.
No I did not run after a bus, no I did not jog/walk my way throughout. I legit ran for 10 minutes for exercising purposes because I made a promise to myself to live a little healthier. I have been unknowingly starving myself a little by eating irregular meals and eating less carbs than what you expect from how I look, but I have been changing that actively. I have been eating regularly with balanced meal (I ate 3 different kinds of meat for all 3 meals just yesterday) and with that I am starting to move a bit more and run once a week to keep fit.
Being unhealthy for more than 2 years, I figured it is time to change my life and let health be my main focus for this entire year. It is crucial for me to change my habit and change my mindset so that I can be the best version of myself, I hope. I really wish to get healthier as soon as possible and I know I can do it, and that I am on the right track to achieve it.
But I am hoping I can still function because it is starting to take a toll on my sleep.
I would be attending my bro's wedding on Saturday so there, you have wedding photos to enjoy if you follow me on Instagram. Labels: money, poly, school is killing me, sick, updates Posted Friday, November 15, 2013 // 9:42 pm
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 Sunday, November 10, 2013 // 10:40 pm
To mourn about life
 It began only this week, the entire planning for the video. We did not even have any subjects booked for the assignment two days ago and as of right now, we have footages of two in the process of post-production. Boy, am I a freak or not? I only realised now that everything has been through that I just spent the last two days travelling in an hour long bus ride to MBS with heavy-ass filming equipments to film something that was not due until 2 December. Filming can be really quick and efficient without the pre-production crap. :/ Also, I managed to finish up three other assignments as of this week and have already handed in two that aren't due yet. I think I am really productive lately. But honestly I think I wanted to get the individual crap assignments out of the way to get into the group ones that is probably gonna be a bigger pain in the butt. I am already dreading the writing of the paperworks. For someone who wants to be a producer in the future, I sure hate paperwork a lot. I hate sending emails though I am actually capable of writing convincing proposals and persuasive letters. But I don't like to do the public relations work. I am not a fan of working in the service industry, even though I am sociable enough to handle it. Ugh. Butt. My legs are almost numbed to feeling right now. Apparently standing for a long time while holding your breath to make sure the camera wouldn't shake is hard work. Sigh, I still have so much work to do. But at least I wouldn't have to rush anything for the time being. Labels: filming, poly, school is killing me Posted Friday, November 08, 2013 // 10:57 pm
Or donut or fruits
 Anyway, I am having difficulties trying to manage my emotions when stress arises. I'm not good with anything related to deadlines really. I was made to introduce myself humorously before the class the other day and I basically claimed that my only talent is twirling hair. Well, the only talent that I would wholeheartedly swear that I am better than anyone else out there. Though I would not want to be known for that and that solely. That would be pathetic. John found this notebook that I had scribbled upon for about 3 pages laying about my house and decided to read it because why not, he is who he is. But I let him anyways because I wrote those things when I am Secondary 2 so the notebook wasn't all that embarrassing. Shit have yet to happen then. Apparently the first page documented "The things I am going to do after EOY", and I had written "Check Drama curriculum in JC" amidst my list of 14-year-old fantasy. And he just looked at me with sincerely freaked-out eyes asking, "Harh? You only Sec 2 and you are looking at Drama courses in JC already?!" Yeah I am kind of an over achiever from the minute I emerged for my mother's womb. I spent the last week with my head in the game, producing proposals after proposals to match with the endless amount of assignments thrown in my face. I seem to bitch a lot about the assignments there is but trust me, there is A LOT. I am actually trying to finish one out so my language settings is stagnantly fixed to my bilingual setting so I can revert back to Chinese if I ever need to. Or if I feel like it in a minute or so. It was non-stop focus for my assignments huh? Boy I need to get a life. I had to complete this news article this morning in class and I actually managed to complete it in the matter of an hour. Mind you, the class was two hours long. I did tidy my informations the night before so that I have an organised view of the informations on hand. But I also completed the article in Mandarin whilst jamming to a whole bunch of English songs. I think I could be talented in that sense. In other news, I am still a control freak when it comes to my work so I had my groupmates spend their rare spare time with me to discuss about the details of the dreadful group assignments. I am pretty sure I am more dreadful than the work itself. :/ Oh, random encounter of the week. I was standing behind this guy in the bus' standing bay the other day (which means I didn't have to move in the entire journey) and that man was wearing head to toe Armani. Anything related to Armani was adourned by him. He had on an Emporio Armani hoodies, Armani Exchange berms, Armani flip-flops, and he was carrying his laptop with, of course, an Emporio Armani sleeve. He was wearing cologne too, which I am pretty sure you could guess the brand of it. And that ends off your weekly dose of AlmightyAlicia news story. I need to physically amputate myself to deal with the stress now. Labels: poly, school is killing me, stress Posted Friday, November 01, 2013 // 5:18 pm
of who will leave who first?
 Right this moment I cleared off all the admin work on my shoulders and that feels fantastic. I hate sending out emails and sounding politically correct because swearing is second nature to me. I have cleared all the itty bitty issues so now I have to regroup and get focused on a new pile of assignments. Which I now wish that I shouldn't have to do because I feel a little lost and a lot lazy to move my sorry ass. See what I mean about the hopeless swearing? Good grief me. I have my red now so that is a complete bummer. Though I am rather thankful for the lack of cramps since I only went on my cold drinks ban yesterday. I still has a cup of 50% ice 50% drink the day before which actually gave me chills. The weather has been dropping quite a bit ain't it? I do like the rain. I sleep well through thunderstorm so the rain isn't the issue. The issue only comes when I debate whether to off the fan or not in such weathers. On one hand I don't want to catch a cold but on the other, there are monsters living underneath my bed and lifting my sleepy bum off my bed only provide them the opportunity to eat me as a whole as I stumble to escape. So that is a nightly dilemma. If only I have a fan with a remote to it. But what if the remote is on my table, then I still have to pick myself up and sacrifice my soul to the monster under my bed. Oh bother. Thank goodness I am having my red in such weather because I would be so damn tempted to grab myself an iced tea with the sun blazing and all. But I have to be on a scalding hot drink diet at all times for five days if I want it to be done and gone completely. Well, you win some you lose some. Meanwhile, I shall just let it do its duty as I comtemplate on what to have for dinner and reorganise my school-centered life.

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.

How do I let you know?
 My work pile finally slimmed down from an A5 paper to a regular post it. I feel myself breathing better looking at it now though I still feel a little angsty about everything that still needs my expertise on. But seeing how I can take it off when this week comes to an end make a smile a lot wider than before. Gotta let some steam off. I still have yet to make a list of the things I'm going to do when the holidays come but I am pretty sure alcohol would be involved one way or another. No, I kid. Or not. I don't know, nothing illegal would be taking place though. My life is pretty boring in that sense. Either way, it doesn't matter if I post the list here or anything. I doubt my bucket list would generate any form of attention towards me. Plus, I hardly follow what I set for myself. Mainly, because I am honestly not very nice to myself. But alright, I had fun updating you guys on my non-existent life. Now let me get back to scheduling my life into order. Cause if you guys could see my closet right now, it is as messy as how my life is already. So much for dressing up everyday for this semester.

And it is almost infectious
 Just a word of caution before you venture out, always observe everything. Because even the fakest person has her slip-up, and only with that slip-up of hers could you truly understand the thickness of the mask she is wearing. And that's exciting, that's very exciting to witness. I had my last structured lessons this week, almost wrapping up one of the most hectic semesters I had since I began tertiary education. It's not fun because I probably typed a billion words and doodled a year's worth of storyboard than I actually do in a year. I rarely draw that much, which is why I sketch during the holidays. But now my hands just want to rest from holding the pen so often. I have a pile of paper to get to as well, though they are all mainly rubbish now. Oh boy why did I even spend on my modules anymore? I should have known better as to where it would end up after submission date. Well, despite the lack of structured lessons, I still have to head back to school for a bunch of things. It's not fun guys, submission week is the worst. Labels: i hate people, poly, school is killing me Posted Thursday, July 25, 2013 // 10:19 am
And a little twisting
 But anyway, here are some highlights that I managed to lock into my memory. I had to host this mini radio segment with John last Saturday as part of the test. It's honestly stupid because it is testing us on everything we have learnt but it only takes up 5% of our total mark. Which is basically nothing, if you think about it. But that prospect still frightened us. It was awful because we were all dying to make it perfect. We had to interview someone for a tiny 5 minutes of the 10 minutes live show and lo and behold, I had 3 groups requesting for me. It got to the point that the teacher banned me from accepting them. I don't know what that says about me but I think these people are implying that I am ugly. I kid. I kid. But because I was rushing these interviews, I barely had time to do my editing test that was happening at the same time. I eventually did, but I couldn't double/triple check so now that I play it back, it's a little soft. :( Either way, that wasn't the best day. I had to do filming for the next two days, stretching my body to its limit. I was just running through filming to get it set and ready to edit because we had only 2 days. And we have 18 scenes. So that wasn't fun, at all. It was positively awful because of how taxing it truly is. You can have the best team on hand but it is still dreadful because so many things can go wrong. I could explain to you how it drove me mad but I think my Instagram can show you a better version of my story. I found a bit of sanity and joy in The Dreammakers every night. It charged me with feels every night with each scene of Chen Liping and Zoe Tay and Chen Hanwei. It makes my 7-year-old self squeal with joy when I see my childhood heroes in the same show, in the same scene, acting their ass off. It just screams "QUALITY" to me. I guess television is really my form of escape. Right, I got myself some vanity bruises the past weeks too. I have this thing in which my legs will give way and make me lose balance every single time I wear heels, this time that managed to happen on a road surface. And it stung so badly on the way back. I was biting my lower lip the entire ride home because the pain just felt like needles attacking every exposed flesh. Water made it worst. It's fine now, but I just wanted to write this down because this is the first time I actually got wounded for wearing heels. This week marks the end of most of the modules I have been taking for the past 3 months. I am not as confident as I am in previous semester where by this time, I know I have already managed to secure at least one A for a module out of six. Mostly because the teachers aren't very keen on letting us know our results. So that's a bugger issue. Sigh, my insecurity will eat me alive one day.

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?

And also extremely violent
 But the discomfort in my head isn't largely due to the haze situation in Singapore. It's just people are really, really stupid. And they are causing me a headache at their lack of responsibility to the given work because they are all pulling me down with them. We have to host this particular music event for 3 days, each class in charge of one day. My class have the theme of the event and details of it settled and ready to go. But apparently, not the other classes. It was fine at first since I didn't know when was the exact deadline and the teachers have yet to finalise the details. But now I know that next week is the deadline and the details left to settle is the themes. So now here I am, tearing my hair out because of the standstill caused by my coursemates. I have no idea how to design because I don't know what are the themes, or rather, why are the themes chosen or what would be going on during the course of the event. So, I am basically fucked whenever I open Photoshop. I swear if anyone were to say, "Oh but our class is focusing on xx and not what you say...", I will gather the strength of Thor's hammer to punch the brains out of that person. You bring my idea down when you chose not to cooperate? I don't think so. Just, think before you speak alright? Some things you really don't have to ask because you would either offend the other person or make yourself look excessively dumb. Or both. Usually both. And that's annoying as heck.

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?

The song writes the rush
 Oh and my fever came immediately after my period ended. So this is honestly one of my worst week ever, physically. My brain is still being (oddly) stimulated enough to have the strength to do work. And to get angry and frustrated at my Video Production teacher. He really is the worst person ever, constantly judging us and treating us like complete idiots simply because we are younger than him. I corrected him because he got the Star Trek line wrong while explaining how important classic lines are because they make the movie and this is his response: Him: The what, "go boldly to places"... Me: "To boldly go where no man has ever gone before". Him: Yah lah, whatever lah.He is literally teaching about how important the exact line is to make a movie a classic and timeless movie but he fucking dissed me when I gave him the right Star Trek line. A little ironic, don't you think, sir? I noticed that my Chinese Literature stand in freeze disco dance position that dissolves me into laughter whenever I look up at him trying to teach the class. It's good to find humour in a excessively boring class. My Public Relations lecturer scolded the whole course today because a handful of them got D and another pile got C for the latest assignment. He wasn't even finalised with anything yet since a bunch of them have yet to present but he just decide to use about 30 minutes into lecture reprimanding the unknown circle of people like everyone was at fault. I honestly don't understand when teachers do that. It's like in a class of different intellectual levels, everyone is seem as geniuses in the teacher's eyes and when a bunch of them turn out to not meet the expectation, that bunch AND the actual geniuses and all the other floaters are lectured (pardon the pun) on not being geniuses as a class. No, everybody is different and if you were to take the time to maybe have that thought fixed in your mind, maybe you gain a new perspective at what sort of quality you might receive. Granted, some people are honestly just lazy. Maybe they deserve it. Maybe you are trying to "give them a harsh reality". Maybe through your tough love, they would be invigorated to learn and improve. Point is, why did you have to take up 30 minutes of everybody's time to those who probably actually already know they handed up bad work because they are lazy and to those who definitely already know the importance of quality and effort? There are so many other ways to approach the problem you obviously found vexing to tell off the course during lecture. You could email them, yell their ass off while at it. You could ask them to stay back, yell their ass off while at it. You could also wait till everyone is done and further evaluate then decide whether to yell their ass off. I honestly didn't feel anything as the lecture went on because I know my standard and I know I wouldn't be dismissed with a 'C' with the amount of time and effort I put into trying to make it the model press release look. I may get a 'B', but I know for a fact that since he rambled on non-stop on the subject of effort, I would not get a 'C', or 'D', for that matter. I'm not being snobbish about my intellect; I just know that if I don't give the lecturer shit work, he wouldn't return me a shit grade, were he an honourable man. Now that I vented the lecturer-rant thoughts out, I am having another on-again relationship with my headache. Boy, what a crappy feeling.

With too much time in her hands
 I have everything where I want them to be work-wise that it pisses my friends off. Well, mainly my study buddies because they are all stuck somewhere. I think faster, my ideas flow better, and I rarely procrastinate education. I only procrastinate my life. I avoid meetings and commitment at all cost, so I procrastinate those things A LOT. Too much, far too much. Wei Ting is envious of my working style, while John is just yelling for me to stop being so fast. Though I'm really not being fast, he is just always 2 steps slower than me. Don't blame me if you can't keep up. Moreover, I do take a little bit more time to complete my time as a matter of fact, I take about 3 days when I have seen people produce the same work in 3 hours, quality not exactly inclusive, but you get the idea. So right now I have to stop myself from doing work. Otherwise I am just going to finish everything and risk having the teacher provide me with even more work. It always happens. Being the good student fucking sucks. It really does. What is making this boredom worse is the fact that all my shows are on their season break. So yes, I'm robbed off my solution for my boredom too. Right now I am devoting far too much time into a draft work. -shrug- This is my life now. What am I doing with my life? -sigh- Posted Friday, May 24, 2013 // 9:08 pm
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.

Not breathing
 I've been writing non-stop for the past few days. Writing in every single form. Mainly typing, though. In both languages. It's really annoying too because I am supposed to be practicing my skills in speech due to all the Radio Production assignments that, of course, require a lot of speaking. But 5 out of 6 of my work just needs me to type the craps out and not much presentation needed. Almost all of my modules are now backstage crew work so that's a little dry. For someone who wants to be a producer of a sitcom in the near future, I sure hate pre production work. I really need to organise my life now, it's a bloody mess. On the bright side, my classmates are beginning to embrace my Tumblr obsession. About time, might I add. Hui Lin learnt about Benedict Cumberbatch because I just keep giggling at his gif sets while sitting next to her in class. I told my friends about his Star trek prank and everybody just kept laughing at him. Except Yuk Sing, she just kept smirking. I don't understand why she smirked the way she did but she did so... -shrug- Hui Lin is tempted to watch Sherlock now that I told her all about it. So... -fingers crossed- Now other than obsessing over work, I need to actually do it. Labels: benedict cumberbatch, poly, school is killing me, Tumblr Posted Wednesday, May 01, 2013 // 2:00 pm
What have I been doing all my life?
 I have been very upset with the curriculum this semester. Well, mainly the lecturers because they seemed to full of (sh)it. I have this lecturer for my Chinese Literature module who basically treats us like we are low IQ morons who know nothing about Chinese language or the cultural aspect of our heritage. It's infuriating because every time he speaks, he sounds as if he is talking down to us. He would keep referring back to us as "young people" and then comment about how we wouldn't know because we are so young. That angered me the most. Because he treats someone by their age and not by who they are or what they have. I know people who are older than me who are the most insensitive idiots whom you might assume by their age that they should already know how to act their age. I had also discovered individuals that are smarter and wiser and stronger than what you would expect from their age or looks or experiences. You simply CANNOT assume because you are not mind reader, nor have you the rights to impose your assumptions as labels on other. There was also my Video Production lecturer who was telling us how he would have tea or coffee before lesson everyday because he is always about half an hour early. Then he suggest we do so but we would probably drink orange juice. And I'm sitting there with the most judgmental-puzzled eyes staring back at him. We are going to be legal for purchasing alcohol this year, what do you mean by we would probably be drinking orange juice? Since when is there a limit for coffee or tea? Are we unable to drink coffee or tea, is it illegal to do so? Seriously, shit adults say makes me want to bang my head onto a brick wall. Well other than that, my Chinese Literature teacher also teaches things that are completely google-able. Which makes his lesson almost 95% redundant. I thought you are suppose to decipher everything in the passage, from the words down to the punctuation. Why does my literature teacher have such vast different understanding of literature as I do? Oh right, he also said that poets are the most sensitive people and to support his point, he compared them to novelist. He obviously haven't read a lot of novels or poems to hastily come up with such a remark. Nor had he viewed the various and multiple art forms there are in the universe to see for himself who are the most sensitive people. Because when I pointed out to him that ALL artists are sensitive people, he decided to focus purely on poets and novelists. As if there is no other form of medium to release feelings and emotions through art. I couldn't roll my eyes harder. I take a lot of shit because when it comes to condescending adults, it is just not what I live for. Labels: i hate people, poly, school is killing me |
