surviving the odds

and still making my stand

urgh. i couldnt be bothered to edit the photos. and blogspot screwed up the sequence of my photos. PLEASE LOOK FROM BOTTOM UP. (that's the sequence i prefer you guys to see it). but since it's appearing this way, ok. let me try to make sense of the arrangement.

a gift in errm primary 5? from some BFF during that time. i think she bought if from czech republic or something ((: this obession with cats she thought i had (maybe i really do)led her to buy me this CUTIE. LOVE IT. thank you janice leong jiayu!
this male adolescent was sleeping on my bed while i was doing my BS103 organic chemistry lab report. :/ (similar situation to turning around and seeing my roomie watching youtube while i chiong out essays) his position was so alike to the gift! (so i put it beside him. he didnt really care what the hell i was up to. HE DIDNT EVEN OPEN HIS EYES A BIT! sleeping is his life. each cat needs AT LEAST 15 hrs of sleep daily.---->i wished i were a HOUSE cat. )

this is how he looks like (: not very sweet looking. but his personality melts my heart.

rainbow. taken AGES ago. this photo makes me emo. like dull. the rainbow so far away beyond my reach. one step forward (and over the wall) i will fall to death 11 storeys down. i cant see my left and right because it's blocked by buildings. i cant step backward cause time cannot go back. im just. on the spot. until someone comes to hold my hand and show me the way... (see. very emo indeed. but suddenly i find my description awesome. O_o)

examinations are around the corner. in less than 2 weeks. yet there's more lab reports coming up for me to complete. *drops head*
then *LIFTS HEAD* there's always canoe polo to look forward to. EYECANDIES FTW! IM SO HAPPY FROM TRAINING YESTERDAY. at least now i know the guy (freshies and seniors) better. and i've got a longer list of eyecandies. then again, musnt let my senior know, she'll exaggerate and tell ALL THE GUYS I LIKE THIS GUY, THAT GUY, THAT GUY, THIS GUY and eventually the entire canoe polo guys team -_-" she has been failing to draw the line between eyecandies and likes. oh no. it this goes on, im never gonna get attached!!! lol.----------->ok. BIMBO!

now that's awesomely a built-to-see heels. behind it i admire the creativity the designer has got. how the hell did he come up with such nail-looking stilettos. so modern asian feel, and bring out the elegance with "hooves" we never associated with. (oh wait. horses are elegant animals (: )
i did a short paragraph some time ago because i couldnt blog. like signing in takes too much of my study time like that. but seriously, year one's no joke either. it fills you up 60% by week 3 of school and then they say "you better take part in this and that and blah blah blah" which leaves you roughly 80% full. then once recess week comes, they literally fill you to the brim. post-recess week? everyone's talking about examinations though there's still like dozens of lab reports to be completed and quizzes(i think they used too light a word. it's as good as CAs) to be hardcore mugged.
so anyway, here's the passage(?!):
"The thing about men seems to be that, because they are men, they become difficult to approach then difficult to communicate and after which, difficult to comprehend. Sigh. In fact, guys can be categorised as it turns out that some of them with similar characteristics such as name and dress-style have similar personalities too. My roommate agrees. It turns out that she has this other guy friend with the same name who behaves similarly hot and cold. Sometimes we wonder if this was just pure coincidence or that like the way Chinese meticulously calculate the strokes and piece up elements they deem what we need in our mandarin names, it is all meant to be in their English names too. Oh wells. This unsolved puzzle leaves poor friends like us confused, wondering which bus stop we have left this friendship that we built. Or was it simply just because he couldn’t careless? Damns what a vicious cycle i got myself into. If only he were a girl. Or that if i were a boy."
and then i was tempted to end if with a f-word. so i replaced it with a "freak" but it doesnt fit in as nicely. OH WELLS.
back to the first topic: WHEN CAN I WEAR HEELS AGAIN. HMMM HMMM.

a lil advance. but still applicable. SMILES. gosh. im freakin high for the past 2 hours. O_O maybe im just too happy to be home once again, have a great dinner, a LOONG weekend and a day out with my girls tomorrow! YAY! (do you seem to realise im turning into sort of a bimbo when i used to hate pink in secondary and lower?)

let's talk about the recent big HOO-HAA of miss singapore 2009 Ris Low. seriously, i think people are over-exaggerating her poor english and mocking at her way too much. what's wrong with boomz? im not afraid to say, I WILL USE THAT TERM even if she had not made it such a popular term. what's wrong with khaki green? do you people not understand? what's wrong with her own style of leopard prints with khaki green? if it were to be some other classy celebrity wearing it, you'd probably say, "wow, that's a new fashion trend! let's buy green tights and prints too!" frankly, her ability to express herself is poor but admit it, she won miss singapore for a reason right? she's being herself, not some fake plastic with no bit of singaporean accent. and stop mocking at all miss singapores and stuff, they dare to stand out. they represent singapore, and you fellows out there, do you have what it takes to even do something for the country?(NS not counted for guys cause it was because you simply didnt have a choice).

canoe polo's getting awesome. YAY. i love trainings. either im a really enthusiatic person, or that i simply ran out of my mind. either way, im hyper-glad that im venturing into a new sport instead of staying in soccer. ahh. call me unfaithful or stuff, but no.1, i cant play soccer anytime soon for at least the next 2 weeks so i would have missed out 6 weeks of training and lagged like shit in terms of fitness and teammates i should be making. no.2, staying in soccer would mean an opportunity cost of not learning new skills in a new sports. plus. I LOVE BALLS . (eh. i hate it whenever i have to explain something that sounds wrong.)
anyway, i've had a HUGE bruise on my shin. however, it's not cause i played soccer again, or that i fell down or that someone tried to tekan me. it's simply cause I WAS TRYING TO GET IN AND OUT OF THE FREAKING SMALL CANOE THAT SENIORS INSISTED EVERYONE CAN FIT IN. it ends up they were amused by my one of a kind injury i sustained indirectly from canoe polo. ahh. talking about the canoe, i feel demoralised whenever i try to fit in. i know it's supposed to fit snugly so you wont come out easily when u capsize, but like, i take MORE effort to get in than smaller girls YOU GET WHAT I MEAN. plus my legs.. are like an additional barrier. thus, the probability of me capsizing is the highest and often when im entering or coming out of the canoe. WHAT IS THIS MANS.

WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHAHA, this is freaking exciting. i havent gone kbox in ages. (: and shopping. but i doubt i'll do any at orchard. you cant bargain for a lower price though the place is more spacious and brighter. and you dont get the fun or digging for "treasures" in the little shop to get great deals like in bugis. oh wells. im still elated enough to be going out than going for appointments..ahh did i mention, i've been having dates every week (: haha. dont think too much, my date's always the doctor. SIAN. the only week without doctors/ orthodontists is this week. i'll be putting my upper braces next week. (yep blossoms. im having braces. PINK ONES. i wanna change colours already but they dun seem to look as nice as the pink :/ )

before i end, just a lil note to my friends whom i unconsciously offended. im sorry i didnt have the courage to speak to you face to face cause perhaps i've simply grown to be more shy and bad at handling relationships and stuff. but. oh wells, im glad we've been talking more and getting more alike. things will improve (:

where is the freaking laptop i ordered!!!

Saturday, August 29, 2009

school term started for a couple of weeks and i still have loads of breath. i havent found myself sinking deep into notes and tutorials.. only the awful pinch on the amount of $ i spend each day, even if it was neccessity like food and travelling and NOTES. it was a slap further when friends around me talk about their tuition kids and comparing the amount they earn each month while i have to make do with 300bucks per month and yet try to squeeze out some into savings from all that i have. have i mentioned i havent earnt a 4 digit sum yet? then again, im lucky enough to be spared from bank loans though i make it a point to return the dough back when i work in the future. oh wells, university life i reckoned. sometimes people end up being more insensitive or they might just be indirectly mocking you. it's part and parcel of growing up.

ahh also. i bought a laptop with what i earned from working during the longest break from school i've ever had. in fact, i can somewhat say i made the decision myself. and you guessed it, i got the cheapest i could afford. i couldnt bear to part with even 50 bucks more to spare myself from the waits i'll get for documents to load. stingy, thrifty. whatever. money management matters more than ever. seriously. but of course there are those occassional splurges that i explode with.. and even made to make do with, like dinner at some restaurants instead of a cafe or sort.

alrighty, so it turned out girls soccer does exists in ntu and nie students join that too. yay. but perhaps because of the excitement i had after months of game-droughts, i twisted and sprained my foot to a real bad sore that is beginning to slowly fade out of my life.. i figured it'll take AT LEAST another week to recover and for me to attend trainings and stuff. in the mean time, i gotta decide on the cca im gonna join. canoe-polo or soccer? canoe-polo is new and sounds just as awesome as soccer. and very much cleaner(with so much lesser mud). then there's this cute guy i found(FINALLY AN EYECANDY) who might be joining the cca too. most importantly, my foot steers clear away from any opponents inside the fibre-glass canoe. and there's no worries about getting a paddle in your face since you'll be wearing a helmet, a vest and..etc. at most i'll just get a bruise on my.. ARM??!!(WAATTT. AHH FREAK) alright, so why am i hesistating? water is nice, but not when you're a girl(get it?). and imagine all the constant soaking in chlorine water(ok. this is just a big hoo-haa. since i'll be ON the water not in it.) then there comes the though of having huge masculine arms O_o and not having the opportunity to run around wild on the "grassland" like in soccer. and freckles. shucks.(freckles are my main concern compared to most girly girls who fear being tanned) oh yes, i cant bear to let my soccer boots rot away in the corner of the room after i finally put them to good use last week(when i sprained my ligament).

next i got my chance to perform on stage but i screwed it up haha. oh wells. you cant expect someone who's got metal brackets cutting her in the mouth to sing too well right. alright. excuse if you deem it. i guess it's either more experience or just plain acting that suits me better (: my lower jaw got braced in SCREAMING PINK yesterday(but it's not prominent. so im actually more disappointed). so my gum's sore and i've been eating near-baby food since. hah. talk about back to basics. okie dokie. till then(when my laptop arrives the coming week. dangs. it better not be delayed again. I WANT MY FREE PRINTER)

school started.

Sunday, August 16, 2009

oh wells. back to hostel tonight. (: and i leave my poor lonely mom at home ): then again, she might find herself raising her blood pressure less?? :\

while i still am trying to figure out where the better computers and printers are in my school, it seems im pretty set on getting a laptop still. no facebook is fine. msn? chaye. but at least gimme some connection to the ntu internet web portal where i can get the notes that have unfortunately been uploaded at the most inconvenient hour by the sometimes inconsiderate lecturers. OH WELLS. and i need to do my research, my homework. ARGH. everything's about computer, IT, e-learning and all. im glad MIND YOUR BODY reported an article relating hours in front of computer with blood pressure. like wow. im just hoping that moe reacts to it soon. i dont wanna graduate at 24 years old to find myself with blood pressure of a 42 yr old.

perhaps is the lack of entertainment in life. i start to find britney AWESOME. HMMMM. like how amazing she has come since she entered the entertainment biz. i mean, she's still pretty much normal despite getting all that shave tattoos and wild parties. she's just trying to grab back what she lost as a rebellious teenager. and somehow, i seem to increasingly apathise and adore her. oh wells. i think im still sane.

saturday i coincidentally came across kelvin chen wei liang's little small walk-over concert. and i found him cute. for the jokes he put on himself to entertain the crowd, the confidence he gave out, the way he played her guitar and he's amazingly touching voice. i guess the music that comes from a handicapped is always more unique and different. hah. im still thinking of him. and he's 'angelic' voice.

then i caught up with a movie after ages since i watched in cinemas. THE ORPHAN is a fantastic plot. it's twists and turns, ups and downs. and yet i didnt manage to get to the answer until the very end of the movie. how cool. how mind blobbing. and now. i really dread kids. all the more if they were not mine. :\

for those who do not want to know the plot, stop here. (:

jessica was a still-born and brought griefs to her parents. and so the couple adopted a child named esther with the thought that they could give the love they were preparing for jessica to esther. esther comes out of the plot as a mature, highly intelligent girl who loves to paint. like who doesnt like such kid who speaks so well-manneredly... it later turns out esther was way more than what she looked and behaved. she was brutal and manipulative---she stoned down a pigeon into a bloody mass of meat, hammered a head and even fractured her own arm with one of those tools you use to hold wood/metal pieces in place. like FREAKING OOUCH and ridiculous. the possibilities in most people's mind was that, she had some character disorder, she was possessed, she was a spy sent(which would turn out to be a F-graded movie if she were to..), she's merely strange?? blah blah blah. finally the answer revealed. she dresses herself up in a black lace gown with thick makeup and heels and walks over to the bewildered man of the house. and she confesses her love for him. she would kill to make the guy love her, to make the family fall apart because of her. and she did when the confused guy explained the type of love for her. (i was surprised why the guy didnt have to strength to keep the blade away. and yeah. he got stabbed to death. but i wasnt as sympathising as i was for the pigeon..)esther is not a nine year old but a freaking 33 year old suffering from dwarfism that fortunately or not, keep her back from passing puberty. O_o no wonder she was so smart. no wonder she could plot, manipulate people's mind and murder without ever being the suspect. and no wonder she painted gruesome and sexual images that could only be revealed under UV light. i was glad she died. and so did the cheating husband. (and even more glad at least he cheated with a normal woman instead of a "child" called esther. PHEWW.)

haha. omg. im such a bad narrator. OH WELLS. till next week. or the week after.. or.. i dont know. i only know my gums are sore. and it will be next week and the week after and.. and.. AH.
