Me? ADD?
________________________________________________________________
Toa Payoh, Somerset, the maid, starbucks, coffeeclub, heeren, far east, that pretty much sums up my day.
Conscience should be guilty for skipping classes to chill. Sometimes i just wake up feeling weird and anti-school. Guess me having to travel 1.5 hours to school kinda just turns me off abit this sem. But oh wells, everything's cool, everything's good, and if things go according to plan, i should still be going to school tomorrow before i head off to work. Dilemna now being should i go gym in between?
Finally am gonna get a new phone. Soon. If everything goes right. Boon very kindly offered me his hp plan to sign. Sis very kindly offered to pay for half the price of the razor. So woohoo. I may jolly well be getting my phone pretty soon. Pay day next week, can't wait. Can barely survive now. Everyday's a money spending day. I seriously do need to cut down on snacking at coffee places ALOT. TCC, coffeeclub, starbucks, coffeebean, happydaze. Bah. Driving my account empty.
Anyways, i seriously suspect i am suffering from ADD ( attention deficit disorder). Read an article on it the other day and boohoo..i realised i have quite a number of symptoms. Sharks. No wonder i can never finish a piece of reading continuously. It's always interrupted by some googling, some tv, some smsing, some talking, some walking around. I am in trouble! This can't go on.
Alrighty, am gonna go read the papers now. Cya.

That trusty silver thing.
________________________________________________________________
I think laptops rocks. Or at least mine does. Suddenly had this revelation that this laptop of mine has gone quite a distance with me.
It's already two years old, but still pretty sleek and new. When its not sick with disgusting viruses, it runs fast and well. It's pretty on the outside, and sensitive on the inside. It's been with me in singapore, from yck to boonlay, stayed there for a year, and then i lugged it around for quite abit. It is so adaptable. It came with me to the states, was securely locked to my bed for half a year, and then it came back with me on a 18 hours flight. At narita, it was with me while i wept and looked at the pictures. In seattle, it was with me while we watched sleepless in seattle. It is filled with my wonderful memories and MBs of photos.
Woo. I love my laptop. Because it's so light, and because it can go wireless. I can bring it ANYWHERE in this house and it works, oh so fine. In the kitchen, in the tv room, in the toilet. It works! Love it. And it looks so good and sleek and compact on my table. Lalala.
Haha. I wonder where this sudden burst of affection for my laptop came about. Anyways, i had a good weekend. Balanced out by chill-outs and work. Sweet. No school tmr, even sweeter. Whee! Pay day is coming soon! Cant wait!

Joke of the week!
________________________________________________________________
This week's joke came from my pretty funny feature writing tutor. We were in class and he suddenly had a revelation:
Him: " I realised we are gonna miss our monday class next week."
Us: WHy?
Him: " Because Lee Hsieng Lo*ng is going to sashay his way to ntu for the 50th anniversary."
Us: WAHAHHAHAHA.

Rollin good day!
________________________________________________________________
Yesterday was a rolling good day i tell ya, i need more of those.
Started out bright and early at 930am, strolling the streets of amk to look for good shots to take for my pop assignment. Theme of the day was : one thing i hate and one thing i love most about singapore..Ended up with some flats shots, and some road scenes. I thought they were pretty ok lar, though i didn't exactly use the skills i learnt? haha. Oh yeah, my sis bf was real sweet to lend me his DSLR too, though i think he wasn't left with much of choice. haha. Mom was really nice and even offered to pay for one if its always gonna be so chaotic trying to borrow from the school and all. But oh wells, its just too much money, don't think i will splurge on one right now. Anyways, by the time i finish my shots, actually bumped into my uncle, had a short chat and headed home to upload my pictures.
Went for my 2nd printmaking class in the afternoon and it was GREAT! So fun. And i love the attitude of the teacher: "Dont worry if it will turn out nice, just have fun, let it flow, its only a GE lar...have fun!" haha. She rawks man. ANd when she was shading my piece, she started chatting with me asking me how school is and all. AT the end of our 10 mins conversation, we realised that we stay pretty darn near each other and we both hang out at Jalan Kayu often! haha. So that was pretty cool..besides, my drawings turned out pretty nice with the monoprints too!
The night was amazing. Pastor ulf preached and woohoo. The message wasn't as impressive as when he started praying for people. Gosh, the presence of God was so darn strong i tell ya. Really touched. :) The only thing that sucked was that i had to cab home from yck. Blah. There goes 4 bucks for nothing.
Had work this morning, tired! So, am gonna go take a nap now before i meet kevin tonight!

When i have to look above.
________________________________________________________________
"Can you still offer me incense when i die?"
"Can you still date people outside of your religion?"
"What if the guy's really nice, but he's just not christian?"
"See, you're getting further and further away from the family, always different because you're christian."
"The way you speak, it's different, you've been brainwashed."
After being a christian for 3.5 years, this is what i end up getting from my dad. I thought me trying to be a good daughter and prove myself was enough. Maybe i ain't good enough. It seems like i can never be enough.
One fine night, out of the blue. And i got hit by this kinda crap. Not exactly in the best of moods now. I don't like to be judged and i hate it most when my parents do it, to my friends and to me. Sorry, i guess i can never be perfect.
When push comes to shove,
To gotta hold on, You gotta be strong,
And look at the light from above,
Cause everyone's out to bring you down,
And if you can't keep your head up,
Then you've lost..
All i can do is get down on my knees and pray, let me know what's the right thing to do. Let me know what's wrong. Am i even doing anything right? Talk to me God..talk to me. You hear me??

Check out my drawings..
________________________________________________________________
I realised drawing really does bring out the emotions that's in you. I just added another piece to my sketchbook for my printmaking class. And gosh, instead of looking arty and dark, my drawings turned out angry and sad. Blah. Am gonna be so embarrassed when i show them to my printmaking tutor on friday. Yikes. Bet she will think my life is sad and i'm dying to get away from it all. Blah.
Today was chillout without the barmaid. Haha. Had much fun, much laughs and the usual gossips. Went to tcc, fantastic place to just laze(and i really do mean laze) and chat with your bestest friends. :) We should do this more often.
Alrighty..check out my drawings:

Amazing you.

She walked through it so calmly, her two little girls just look up to her with such amazement in their eyes. From time to time, when it hits them bit by bit, they find their eyes brimming with tears. Unpredictable. And she saw it coming. She was prepared, but not the kids. The kids try and make do, taking in more responsibilities.
One night, the little girl comes home tired out. She showered, and then laid in bed for a short rest. Her hair was wet. And when she closed her eyes, she felt tears rolling down her cheeks. Or was it the water? The illusion startled her. She soon fell asleep before she was rudely awaken for dinner. Washing up, she looked into the mirror and saw the stains on her cheeks. It wasn't water afterall.

Was talking to michelle the other day, and i realised that the people closest to me, are somehow the people i find it hardest to admit my weaknesses to. How weird.
Received love through the mail again today :) These little surprises i am looking forward to more and more. It may not be much, but it came so close to my heart. Minute by minute, day by day, it's been almost three months. I am so worried that another three months will come, and we will realise that the time we are apart have officially taken over the time we were together.
"I'll rather go through hell with you, than enjoy heaven with someone else." Reading that, i can't help but smile and dream of a fairytale ending.
And through it all, you give me protection, alot of love and affection. Thank You, u've been amazing.

Bloody me.
________________________________________________________________
Explored the new pub at Jalan Kayu tonight with boon after our prata session. Was only attracted to the pub because i saw the a&w rootbeer sighboard they had up. The interior of the place turned out to be pretty nice,dark and cosy though there's this strong fried, kfc smell to it. Turned out, the rootbeer floats weren't that fantastic afterall. Just why did a&w have to close down?! When i was in the states, me and my singaporean friends always made it a point to head into a&w for curly fries and floats whenever we pass by one! Without fail,
our car always made a turn into the nice big a&w outlets even if we were all full to our brim already.
The weekend flew by in a blur! School took my saturday and work took my sunday. Am gonna start tutoring boon's brother when september comes. Tuesday and sundays, 7pm. This means, pretty soon, i'm gonna be lifeless. Monday's a full day in school, tues tuition, wed work, thurs cg, fri service, sat work, sun tuition. Dreading it already and the money's the only thing that's keeping me going. There is more to life than the big bucks right? But you just can't do without the bucks. Bucks me. Blah.
I hate mondays. Monday blues! Anyways, there are a number of things that i am dying to tick off on my to-do list:
1 - straighten my bloody big hair
2- fulfill my bloody building fund
3- buy a new wallet to replace my bloody old one
4 - get a bloody new cellphone that actually has color and a camera
5- prevent myself from losing my cell again
6 - do my bloody readings
7 - get a bloody pair of trackshoes so i can stop giving myself excuses to not run
Alright, thats all for now. Am bloody fat and lazy. I need to exercise! WHEN?!

Lyric of the month |
Travis - Flowers in the Window
There's no reason to feel bad
But there are many reasons to feel glad, sad, mad
Its just a bunch of feelings that we have to hold
But i am here to help you with the load.
Wow look at you now
Flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day
And i am glad that you feel the same
Cause to stand up i'm in the crowd
You're one in a million
And i love you so, so lets watch the flowers grow.
