no more

my drive and motivation that was very much with me last week has warped and evolved into a procrastinatory nonchalence towards my final exams

very worrying indeed.

that, has been intensified by a need to go out, coupled with maybe a restlessness that can be crudely characterized by my "itchy backside"

read: i cant sit still for more than 5 minutes

all in all, not very effective and assuring for my paper tmr, i would say.

to make things very (very) much worse, i've been hooked on insaniquarium, which has been my source of entertainment for the past few hours (pathetic i know)

hey, but i'm proud to say, i've reached level FIVE.

the below picture was me at level two.

and this is me at level FIVE.

HAHAHA. very funny. thats just some crazy screenshot of someone who has played a wee bit too much of insaniquarium.
*not me not me!!*

im so deaaad.

chocolates and roses

"I lift up my eyes to the hills - where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth" -Psalms 121:1-2

I'm more excited about christmas coming than i am worried about the exams
it really does not feel like an exam period right now
i wonder what's wrong.

nibbling chocolates has transcended beyond a mere delicious treat, but has evolved to a habitual must-have when studying
or rather, attempting to.
pleasing to the mind and soul, but not that much to the build-up of lipo

on a completely random note, casino royale was quite nice, but i think pierce brosnan makes a much better James Bond. i'm sorry, but blue eyes just dont cut it

and on another totally irrelevant note, i am feeling very sleepy.
all i want now is to drive out to the beach, and sit on the breakwaters with you all day..

and the week begins..

its always hard to say goodbye after a nice long weekend
this time, it just seems harder... :(

retail strikes

Retail therapy (noun): The act of shopping as an outlet for frustration and a reliever of stress. An excuse for people (mostly females) to go shopping when they're feeling bad.

- Urban Dictionary

GUILTY AS CHARGED.

To make things worse, i just found out of the term "cinema therapy", which is "the process of using movies made for the big screen or television for therapeutic purposes". What can i say?

GUILTY AS CHARGED (too).

on a side note, that is completely irrelevant, "Just Friends' is a very funny comedy.

all of you should go catch it.

for its cinematic-therapeutic effects.

have a good day ((:

here we go again

vroooom vroooom~
life's good with a car around. makes things so much easier and faster.
however, this weekend had been my pseudo semester-break
time to face reality.
uhoh.

its a happy day

wooots! sharon just made me a very happy girl muahaha. actually, she just reminded me that i shld be happy today.
and today also loudly proclaims the last of my projects!!!
you have NO idea how happy i am ((:
i'm beaming all over right now.

and this, ladies and gentlemen, is what i call excess baggage

but i like ((:

i was deciding whether to go to school today, knowing that bush was coming to NUS for a speech
i really wanted to be able to see him once before he steps down (soon)
so that i can proudly say "YES!" when those dumb forwarded mails ask me if i've seen the american president
(not that i will answer them in the first place, but just in case)
but in the end, i decided that my beauty sleep was much more important than bush
who prolly needs more sleep. his eyebags are showing.

i will tell him that when i do see him.

rockapella

i was smiling throughout the concert ((: because rockapella totally kicked-ass.
i loovvved every single song they performed, and for that 2+ hours it was just pure bliss
the guys were hilarious, and they had great stage presence, not to mention purrfect harmony and synchrony
it was like 120min of heaven immersed in oldies, and love songs
i did NOT want to leave the hall at all. trust me.
when we finally did come out frm the concert hall, mac and i were both highh ((: high on music.

"If music be the food of love; play on"

thanks for the wonderful night, for the "textbook date" that we almost had hahaha
i loved every min of it ((:

tired

"and we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them" - Romans 8:28

"trust in the Lord with ally our heart and lean not on your own understanding.
In all ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight" - Proverbs 3:5 -6

unexpected encouragement in an unexpected time (:

one step at a time, one battle at a time
it feels like clearing weeds that keep growing out.
nevermind, i'm going to buy a weed mower. soon.
and my garden's gonna be beautifully cleared of weeds, then my flowers can bloom beautifully (:

haha i'm going a bit crazy. yes i am.
guess retail therapy today was pretty much called for. however unanticipated it was.

i wanna watch happy feeet... :(
till then, she'll be my happy feet ((:

bowed heads and twirling brains

studying in the central library with my favorite-est people now
a mere 2 hours to my german vocab test, which i'm still not exactly very prepared for
but since huishi (who's typing frantically away beside me) started blogging, it got me writing too
here i am, looking over the 6th floor of the library, and i see bowed heads and twirling brains (read: thinking)
a familiar scene, like maybe a year ago or so
listening to somewhat the same music, going through the same kinda anxiety that comes with exams
nostalgic? think again.
but i do like the peace and serenity that is the epitome of the central lib.
each lump of slouching mass with music plugged in, engaged in his/her own materials, enveloped in his/her own world
its no wonder the library has extended its opening hours to 24 hours! hahaha


here. i finally saw this soldier in his number THREEs, and looking smart (:
no more ugly and heavy boots, no more long-sleeves folded into uncomfortable lumps at the arm

a nice night spent ytd (: heres another countdown starter till the weekends! woots.
"And all I want is to hold you forever
All I need is you more everyday
You saved my heart from being broken apart
You gave your love away
And I'm thankful everyday
For the gift"

the lingering feeling of you

weekends are over!! :(
too fast too furious. somehow i'm always saying that on sunday or monday

so this weekend was fun, as i have promised myself after a whole week of hard work (:
since i'm really tired i shall just do a voyeur-report of my weekend

friday
i watched "the guardian" (: which was a reallyreally nice show!!
it was so inspiring. it even got me inspired to swim! hahaha
guess the plot was predictable, but it was in celebration of the courage and bravery of UScoastguards
who, although have no application to us, are noble in sustaining the profession that in itself is noble

saturay
i gave tuition at macdonalds! (: actually im kinda starting to enjoy tuition quite alot
its the satisfaction in seeing your student being able to grasp her exams more firmly in her hands
or being able to solve questions that she wasnt able before
or knowing that i can help bring her one step closer to gaining entry to JC
or just being able to help in any way.. that can make a differnece to her and to me (:
its a nice feeling (:
then it was usual sat band practice (and jamming) at church like always
before.. shopping!! ((: yes i just had to reward myself a little hehehe~


guess i wasnt the only one rewarding myself =p


sunday
church!! (: and then CCIS caroling practice. which i'm starting to enjoy more and more
its nice when everybody starts to get their parts and the songs come together perfectly
ok not THAAT perfect, but its nice to get the whole "christmasy feeling" ((:
i absolutely LOVE christmas (: which explains why i was so excited to see christmas decos up in town alr
and then i watched "step up" with evynn regina and mac after that. which got me inspired again.
but this time, its to dance hahaha.
its one of those DAMNGOOD shows where you come out going "wow, i wanna be like that"
but i swear, dance never felt soo good and alive in a movie.
everybody, go watch! (:

yup that pretty much summarizes my weekends with the voyeuristic torchlight
its just so that i can look back a few years from now
and go, what i cant believe i wrote like that when i was 19
or go, hey i had soo much free time (however untrue) when i was 19
or be all reminiscent about the beautiful past and marvel at my even more wonderful present and future (:

that's all folks!
a long entry to end the blog drought! (:

IT lecture

its IT lecture now and i'm pretty boredd. (like always)


this is pretty much what i'm doing now.. studying. or at least, attempting to.
yesterday huishi and i stayed back @ d central library studying and researching.
HAHA yahright we stayed back to finish our IT project. which was really rushed due to our procrastination.
however, it was reeeaalyy nice when we finished, and i have to say, i'm really proud of it (:
it was on cyber fashion, if anybody was curious.

there's 2 more days till the weekends! (:
im gonna do a countdown every week till the weekends
makes it less painful than to countdown till semester break
or to ORD date for some muahaha
