 I am a closet winter girl. I have a lot of clothes made of substantial material that is not exactly suitable for the weather in Singapore. Especially not with the haze. Boy, is the weather scorching. My skin feels like it is barbecuing every time the sun hits. It is crazy how dry it has been. Rain has been so scarce I feel I am living in like a desert cartoon with the cracked sand grounds and overheating air. The weather is ruining my spirit to dress up. Because I just want to slap on the thinnest, most airy pieces in my wardrobe. Layering is out of the question since wearing black has also became a sin now. Fucking weather burned up half of my closet, basically. Yeah I wear a lot of black to match the colour of my soul. Nah, it is simply because white is not my colour. And even if it is, white clothing articles for female have a reputation of being sheer and easily tainted. I am a messy person, and white gives that away. So I shy away from it. And I am just not into colours these days... If I am heading out, I always fall into a monochrome mood. It's kind of disastrous for the colours in the closet. And I have been buying shit loads of monochrome things. Black, white, grey, black & white... I haven't been very keen with colours. I should be more concern about that than my shopping lately. Geez.

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.

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.

 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 Sunday, September 22, 2013 // 7:24 pm
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 Tuesday, September 10, 2013 // 10:10 pm
I would rather run away
 No just kidding. About the accomplishment part. I accomplished more yesterday. I had my haircut yesterday, back the usual length. It's longer than the previous time though still pretty short. But it feels better, except for the part whereby I'm still unconsciously biased to the side where my fringe is parted. That kinda just snowball into a headache after a while when I hung my head like that for some time. I'm not good with gravity; nor am I terrific with fatigue. Anyway, these past couple days had me snuggled in my bed all covered from head to toe. I am rather fond of the weather though. It's raining but it isn't windy, so I can enjoy the cool air without the water droplet invading my face like how fucking Hitler invaded Poland. I just coop up in my corner with my sudoku in hand, wrecking my brains out to complete the "Demanding" levels. Either sudoku or Candy Crush, I'm pretty much stuck with both. Oh and instead of shopping for myself, I found Yan Ting to transfer all my shopping urges on. It was harder than hard but since I have not spend any money on clothes on the shopping trip today, I would say I'm making good progress. Though my hands itched a trillion times. And that I am sad that I missed out on some really pretty things. Okay stop, snap out of it. She got a great amount of stuff though, so at least I helped. Posted Saturday, July 13, 2013 // 9:02 pm
This happened
 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.

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?

Poking right in your eyes
 Just had a spider scare the fuck out of me with it dangling before me. It's really tiny though, so that proves I'm just afraid of pests who have no respect for boundaries. Hmm, what do you call shows that you watch for the pleasure of staring at their flawless make-up or fashion cause they are all just colourful, but you hate the story plot? I really don't know. My side-swept fringe is trying to poke my eyes blind. And I think I look very gross when I pin it up, so I try not to when I head out. But the wind wants me dead. So oh well. I am spending my days to finish off The Help that I borrowed from the library two weeks ago. I've been struggling to look for The Hunger Games from libraries but they are all on loan or reserved. Damn mainstream blockbuster movies. I love the movie and many complaints about it was just it didn't quite reflect the movie. So if the movie is amazing to me, the book would be like wow. I watch a lot of things. :/ I met Clarissa on Tuesday to check out her new house. And we kept commenting about how tiny it is. It was real fun though, just hanging about. That neighbourhood is cozy. She has a tennis court that is of the actual size of a tennis court. Don't think I'm stupid, it's just the basketball court at my neighbourhood is never the right size. It is like, jammed together with the BBQ pits so the court is smaller. Her lift freaks me out though. You know how new lifts have hard wood sticked all up on the walls. And there are writings on it to advertise their moving service. But the scariest factor is the broken plastic on the ceiling lights that look like some murderer jammed the victim's head until the plastic cracked. Eery just thinking about it. I've been watching the 9pm show on Channel 8 with my sister and my godmum, and I have to say I really like Poetic Justice. My sister gone a little obsessed over Rui En and I honestly don't get her. I do think she can act, but I just don't get her. Her fame, her attitude or her takes on her characters. She has a lot of potential, don't get me wrong, but I guess the reason why I'm not gaga over her is cause I hate all the characters she portrays in the shows she is in. They always have something wrong, no, unreal about them that doesn't speak to my understanding of them or their contribution to the show. Even when they are the leads. Okay, maybe I just think she is understandably overrated. Nonetheless overrated. Wow the weather is killing me, this dude is running on the news right now and the haze looks like it is trying to fog off his triumph over his physical disabilities. Anyway, more about me. I spent two days packing away all my shit. And I mean all. My shoes, my books, my magazines, my DVDs, my letters from birthdays or random letters, my clothes (both for dress-up and for nua fuck). I am organised and right on track. I'm pretty happy that I did the packing a month into the holidays cause if I were to do it at the start of the holiday like I usually do, I would have my closet messy all over again in a week or so. I'm swearing off shopping for the time being. I have a hard time packing my clothes to bring in new stuff, I can't afford to make any more room for more. Oh, I just realised I haven't been anywhere near town for a month. Or maybe just Orchard. But I definitely was nowhere near town for at least three weeks. The last time I go long was the Andy Warhol exhibition, and I had my long hair back then. Okay that's long. And my hair is already growing back. It's rapid speed hair that I'm having.

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.

Fly off the shelves
 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.

It's really not for everyone
 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.

Override the circuit
 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
 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. :/  My godmum wants to wear whatever I buy home. She is awful.

I don't even have something to do now
 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. Labels: cake is great, fashion, food, i love shopping, my gross friends, shopping, working Posted Thursday, January 19, 2012 // 3:29 pm
And a flare skirt
 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. Labels: f21, i love shopping, shopping Posted Monday, December 19, 2011 // 9:26 am
Unmistakable symptoms
 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!

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.  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.
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.
