I now understand why my mother tells me i’m fat/gonna get fat if i eat this/that and yet feeds me lots of food.

I do that to my brother too.

This past week i haven’t been studying :/

First, there was the shopping spree on Sat. Sun was a day of rest (fine, i was just lazy).
Mon was school and class CIP till evening.
Tues was school and doctor for my weird peeling/pain/red-spotted/watery toe. (omg the waiting time of 2hr50mins turned me off ever visiting a polyclinic for a less than 5min consultation. Okay luh, can shave off 30mins cos i stupidly didn’t submit the medication form at the pharmacy.)
Wed was dental (at outrum doyouknowhowfarthatis?!) and supposed to have tuition but my teacher cancelled. Wasn’t feeling well after taking all the medication the doc gave. Plus one of them caused drowsiness. And I wasn’t drinking enough water (as stated in the instructions to “take with plenty of water”) because i was out.
Thurs (today) was a day i spent with the family. My brother was signing the deed for his scholarship (happy!!) and we went to try our luck queuing at Carnivore because reservations were full till the 25th June. Long long queue (shocking) but we got in and the salad bar was nice, meat was okay. Not likely to go there again unless it’s 1-for-1. Then onto signing. It was interesting, reading the contract and hearing them talk to the scholarship officials. I’ll have to find another set of surety if i get a scholarship because my dad and aunt is tied to my brother. Good problem to have. But unlikely. Lol. Still feeling unwell. Not very good sleep :(

Rambling on and on but conclusion is…i’ve gotta start studying today.

Yes.

Let’s go!

 

Omg my maplestory is out of date.

Tonight~ We are young. So let’s set the world on fire, we can burn brighter, then the sun~

Yesterday was a great day! Really tired at the end of it, but worth the sweeping bone aching wave of tiredness. Getting old. Reminded my of the days in Hong Kong where we were just walking the entire day.

Shopping with Shimin from about 1+pm to 6.40 with a short break for her to eat her lunch in between. Flea at *scape, h&m, cotton on, forever21. Haha all the teenage mass production brands but what to do? No moneyy from parents to sponsor shopping trip. In fact my mum was like “no, don’t buy anything!’ but yet she sent me to the mrt for this shopping trip. So…confused. Anyway, just shopped :)

*scape flea (what the flea) gave me a heart-attack before it even started lol because i didn’t understand the directions. Sky terrace (4th floor) at cineleisure orchard. But that’s the cinema theatres! Thought we got the wrong place. Finally found it at  ground floor, the place my class went to the last time for the flea. I couldn’t last that flea because it was late when i went and there were just so many people, so many shops, i felt suffocated. 10mins, in and out. This time, we were early and there were less shops :( Was totally prepared for the crowd but less shops = less crowds so…

On hidesight now, the building next to cineleisure was probably *scape and should’ve went up to the 4th floor to just check it out. Sighh…

Flea was actually not that cheap, kinda like retail pricing with discount and no branding, changing rooms and refunds. With GSS going on, might not have been a good choice to have bought stuff at flea. But got variety luh. Don’t regret anything i bought. Except the black dress i though was a steal for its material and price – only to find it’s too short for me -.- And the $5 leopard print sleeveless i thought was a steal but turned out to be too small for me. Luckily shimin was a bit kiasu and told me to try everything in the toilet nearby. Found out about it being too small and went back to exchange for another shirt. Was moody and gloomy but picked out another one which i had to top up $10 more. A bit unhappy at first, cos i was spending more money (and my mother’s words weighed on my mind) but later very happy with the new buy! Hahaha. So, first (kinda) flea was (kinda) a good experience!

H&M sales were good! I think i love h&m hahaha. The quality and pricing is better than forever 21. I think f21 is sometimes, if not almost all the time, overpriced.  Got a basic shirt and dress. Cost me $32.80 :) I like!

Forever 21 was best. Wanted to buy a skater dress ($23, not cheap not ex) but saw their vest range. Now, i’ve been wanting to get a vest for a long time. Since like sec1/2. Never saw a nice one or they were too expensive. So i got really excited about the vests and just grabbed one of each design to try on. After a while, i got so confused because i kind of liked them all. One stood out in particular. But it was ex for a poor student like me without parent’s sponsorship ($39). Hahaha. After a long back and forth banter with Shimin. I finally got it. But at the back of my mind, i was just wondering about all the screaming my mum might do to me. She didn’t even want me to buy anything! If i didn’t think about my mum screaming at me, i’d probably have shopped a wayyy lot more lol.

Dinner with Sophia at Brotzeit at North Bridge Road. Was supposed to eat at Chijmes but…oops “did i make a reservation?” Hahaha. Epic excuse lah she. Company was good :) and food was good and in big portions. We were so full after the meal that we didn’t finish the pizza ($1 LOL) and potato wedges. Overall good food (and beer according to her) but be prepared to spend about $40-50 for 2 pax. Walked around a bit and we went Robinsons, looked at some makeup, dropped by topshop, went to f21 at orchard, then at somerset. She convinced me to buy the skater dress i gave up earlier for the vest. Spent more money and thought more about my mum screaming. Sighh if i did well in school, i wouldn’t have given 2 hoots about shopping and spending cash. My mum might even probably just give me money to shop. But….

Got home and was prepared to be screamed at (for spending $175.80) but i think my mum expected it lol. She was like “show me, show me”. Then she made me sign some agreement that i wouldn’t buy any more clothes till like next June. If i didn’t break the agreement, she would give me the money for everything this trip. And the next trip. Should’ve shopped more then hahaha. Anyway, surprised that my mum didn’t say anything more except that she wanted me to get brighter clothes next time. (“Why you like dark clothes so much?”) And my dad just couldn’t believe i went shopping. (“For what?!) Lucky he got only 1 daughter. More then he’ll have a bigger headache hehehe. (My mum liked the vest by the way. She instantly liked it and gave me back the money for it because i was whining about how much i thought she scold me for it and how poor i now was lol. )

Was a fun day yesterday. One i haven’t had for a long time. A productive shopping trip with a good dinner! Major like :) Wish i could’ve more of this kind of days this June. But i forsee a lot of time spent at the table studying….what is this sorcery!

 

Forever Young

Let us die young or let us live forever,
We don’t have the power but we never say never,
Sitting in a sandpit,
Life is a short trip,
The music’s for the sad man.

Forever young,
I wanna be,
Forever young,
Do you really want to live forever,
Forever,
And ever?

So many adventures couldn’t happen today,
So many songs we forgot to play,
So many dreams are swinging out of the blue,
We’ll let ‘em come true.

Forever young,
I wanna be,
Forever young
Do you really want to live forever,
Forever,
Or never?

I could be your buzz lighter fly across the globe

Well it’s been relatively quiet now that dance is over and done with.

Ahhh…hear the crickets chirping, cricketing, or whatever. :)

I’m loving and starting to get used to going home when the sky is light. Whoooo!~

Recently my accessories came in the mail, 5 rings from bitsandtrickets! :) Service is good and items are not bad for price. A little rough around the edges but well, let’s just say when you wear it, you can’t really see the details haha. My favourite ring out of those i ordered is the pop art rose :)) Was just watching Vampire Diaries (S3, ep22) and i caught a glimpse of Rebecca wearing a ring really similar to the one i have! Major happiness. Hahaha!

Mustard (or dark yellow) cardigan came in the mail today. Zara basic label, but not really sure if it’s real..? Heh. Thought it looked a bit dull at first but lovin the colour the more i look at it!

Online shopping’s really fun!

On the academic side, i’m surprised that listening in lectures and tutorials actually really are helping me save time and  making my life in general, easier. Wow. My mum was right when she said i lack wisdom. I always thought it was empty talk when teachers, parents talked about these “useful tips”. Or it only applicable to students who were already good, or willing to apply themselves so wholeheartedly that they don’t get bored in lessons.

Have i joined their ranks then? I still get really bored, but i am really happy that i still get up in the mornings and get myself to school, sit and listen in lesons even when i grumble or really don’t feel like doing so. After a while, i actually do feel better and kind of enjoy it sometimes. It’s all in the mind.

The words from my wise mother, “There are many things in life you have to do even when you don’t feel like doing them. I don’t like to wash your clothes. But i still do. So go for your tuition!”. 2 days tuition in a row (normal lesson + make up) and no tuition this weekend because teacher’s on course whooo!

3 days to june holidays!

Lovely.

It’s time to get started.

 

 

Show your worth. Gain the trust. Prove that you’re not stupid.

College Day

Unofficially, today’s the last day I dance with TJC modern dance group.

If everything went according to plan, by right it would kinda officially be my last day. But some things in life just go the shit way and put me in an awkward make me wanna tear my hair out position.

4 years. Love-hate relationship; a bit of nostalgia everytime i think about how the cycle repeats itself each time a performance comes up.

Well, it’s done and a chapter of my life closed.

TJC, you suck because you don’t allow us to retire on a nice stage like UCC.

But…i am thankful for hanging on and seeing this through. It was, is, worth the hell of a ride it gave me this 4 years.

I am proud to be a TJC Modern dancer.

 

Just thought i should say it once again, and really mean it.

He’s making a list, and checking it twice

I love making lists.

 

What I have to do, what I will do, what I have done.

There’s something to look forward to; it clears my thoughts and neatly categorises everything into a list of 1,2,3,4. There’s finally some organisation in my messy (rather, messed up) life. It has that calming effect – like everything’s gonna be alright, because I am doing something to change my present.

I don’t know if this is just a temporary assuagement, self-denial on everything that’s wrong in my life. Or this is a kind of change to me; hope for a better future, a better me.

Either way, I keep falling.

 

Hang on.
3 more days to go.
