Horrible eye bags.

Today while waiting for Jun in the toilet at West Mall, I was examining my eye-bags and they looked terrible. Totally terrible. I have decided, from today onwards, to start using every single one of my eye masks that I bought in Taiwan back in June – I bought 4 boxes (7 pairs per box). I will use it until I leave for Taiwan, and buy some more eye masks back. I hope they work. I don’t want horrible eye bags, especially when I can’t hide them behind spectacles anymore.

Plus, they are wayyyy cheaper in Taiwan as compared to TheFaceShop’s eye masks of 9.90SGD per pair.

It says on the packaging, that if I use it consecutively for 7 days, I can see results. I shall try that!

And I did some really impulse spending today. I bought this online.

Awwww aren't they adorable?

Yes, I bought the “ickle and Lardee’s Grand Adventure” book. Limited run of 500 printed books! The book is definitely not cheap, with the basic price of 25usd, and an additional paypal international shipping price of 9.50usd – converting that into sgd, it’s approximately 49.30sgd.

It’s pricey, but I’ve been waiting for the release of the book ever since I got wind from the blog that the author was selling the book and I was dead sure I will get it, and hence I paid for it online without hesitation.

Can’t wait to lay my hands on it!

In the meantime, I should go make some meaning with my time, instead of randomly surfing the net and reading random things online.

CPDRC dances to Jai-Ho!

Impressive! Plenty of people have already waxed lyrical about the wonderous feats of getting inmates to dance as a rehabilitation process so I’m not going to go into that further.

What I admire most from the standpoint of someone who once taught mass dance at secondary school level, was the level of commitment I saw from each dancer during the video. Every single one of them strongly danced their heart out, and put in the zest for dance and life into the routine, no matter if they did well or not. Really impressive, I never could have inspired that from my sec ones in the past – no matter the amount of love, time and scoldings they got. Well, except for the loyal bunch of sec ones who sabo-ed me to become the asst treasurer in Sec 3, but that wasn’t quite the point here. Hurhur.

I’m sure Roo will be able to see what I see – the amazing energy that the inmates had, and our sec ones prolly never had that.

Psst – they shot to fame through their viral video of Thriller.

Over 35 million hits! Wow!

To comprehend friendships…

After so many days, I still don’t get it. The more I think about it, other thoughts start popping up. More friends started popping up.

I miss my best friend/s.

On a windy Tuesday afternoon..

Was supposed to lunch with self at JP during this time, but with the growing gloomy clouds in school, decided to just settle for lunch at canteen (since I already have a table since meeting) and sit in this corner, while waiting for presentation at 1330 hours.

Recently certain things came to light, and I got pretty upset by it. Felt really hurt, betrayed to a certain extent – and all these done by a friend whom I thought would have a better mind than this. Then again, we get nasty surprises all the time, don’t we. So, live and let live – I suppose.

Though I don’t particularly feel like talking to that friend for now. Argh.

Feeling eagerly excited about our Cuba presentation later, we’ve got almost everything ready – cuban flags, bueno vista social club music, three cubans film, activities and even espanol math tests! Hurhur. I really should be reading my notes so that I have some basis for writing the 2.5k word essay, but I don’t feel like reading them!!

Rahrahrahs. The boyf has also yet to reply to my morning text – bahs.

Monday..

is a nice snuggly lazy day.

Loved the heavy rain today, because I’m secure in my home, and napped the afternoon away. Okay, I wasn’t that bad of a pig, I napped the later half of the afternoon away.

A new day did bring new developments to the day, and today was indeed a much better day, a much clearer day for me, for us. If nothing goes wrong, and things remain as how it is now, we shld be settled tomorrow!

Cryptic – yes. I don’t want to jinx it. Told Peanut about it so far, I’ll announce it when I firm it up tomorrow.

In the meantime, the nice snuggly weather makes me want to crawl back into bed, but I really need to start doing research for the meritocracy essay. I should be doing readings, and research. But I’m just feeling oh so sleepy. Yawns.

Awesomely adorable, don't you think?

Today

has just been a raw and painful day. Tiring, check. Emotional rollercoaster, check.

In the end, we simply settled for … meh. By meh, I don’t mean a blah meh, I meant it as … an emotion I can’t describe.

Painfully tired, and lost for directions.

May a new day tomorrow light the way.

Being Emo = interesting blog entries?

This morning, I read an acquaintance’s blog. She said, she wished she was more emo, then she would write more interesting blog entries. Then, as an afterthought, she said nah she’s happy like this.

I’ve been feeling this way for a really long while.

If you hadn’t notice, I haven’t been doing serious blogging much, and even when I blog, very often it’s mundane, and really boring. I find my own writing boring, what more readers? Truth it, there’s nothing emo to talk about, and I’m best at emo writing, what with writing in incomprehensible chinese fake-poetry, or some cryptic words that do not make sense to anyone else but me.

However, like my acquaintance said, I’m happy like this. (:

I take small little joys in being able to want to sit alone at a cafe, poring over my laptop with a drink in hand and books strewn all over the table (like now as I await my class to start at 130 and chilling at Starbucks while waiting), going to the bank to deposit $14 into the CSC account because the CDM doesn’t take $2 notes (I didn’t know that until last night!), and listening to the awesome music coming out from my portable rig of the iPod and the Tf10s.

I take bigger joys in being able to meet loved ones for meals and movies and whatnots, with meeting the boyf for a home movie and dinner on friday, and Peanutto for A Spy for A Spy coming Saturday (Peanutto chan, if you’re reading this, rest well and drinks lots water!).

I take small little joys in watching the world go by, and stop thinking that the world hates me because I know it doesn’t. Very often, it feels as though nothing is going right; but little do we know, once you hit the end, the only way out is up.

Being happy is not an emotion, it’s a way of life that many of us neglect. It might seem as though nothing is happening in your life and everything seems really just mundane and normal, deep within you know yourself if you’re happy, or not. I love smiling at service staff, only to have them smile back at me because their customer (I), brightens their day by approaching them with a smile. They feel happy serving me, and both of us feel happy after the service.

I know I’m happy, how about you?

If being happy causes me to lose the knack of writing interesting blog entries, so be it. I’ll just have to bore everyone with my peacefully mundane happy life. (:

Albums

Had a sudden urge and craving to buy CDs, so I splurged out on 3CDs yesterday!

I’ve been looking for the full MIKA album for a while, but the price is a little off putting. Managed to get 3CDs for the price of $49.90 – Buble’s Crazy Love, Olstead’s skylark and High Society’s The Ten Tenors.

Totally awesome, I think I might have bored the boyfriend to tears when I was excitedly listening to the various High Society albums at Raffles City yesterday. Oops. Teehee.

Right off to do more work! Assignments due on Tuesday, and then after that we’re almost done – just one more presentation, one more individual report and one more group report left!

Mad tired.

Thank goodness the carnival is OVER – with the capitalised letters. Am mad tired, mad aching. Stank like mad after the entire carnival, climbed up and down the stairs today to double as photographer and emcee, when some others happily just stayed at their own station (snarkily unpleased).

It doesn’t matter anymore, it’s over, I just need to focus on the EL individual assignment, and my Social context essay (still half done!!) and 3/4 of the battle will be over! Not that it has been much of a battle anyways. The real battle starts next year, which is looming just around the corner. Scary, but promising.

I’m dead tired, but I’m looking forward to dinner date with the boyf. (: Missed him plenty this week, the last time I saw him was Tuesday, which was actually not that long ago, but all I want now is for him to lift me off the ground and pamper me like a little princess because I am dead tired. The soles of my feet are aching and I have the tendency to not move once I sink myself into a seat.

I’ve never been much of a stoner, but I actually enjoy sitting in a corner and stoning into the distance today. It happened especially often when three of us went off for a late lunch, and we were just so crazily tired, we were happy to just sit and stone. The silence was extremely welcomed.

The carnival was uneventful, and I must say, I’m glad it went well and nothing big happened.

Enough rambling, I want to stone and watch some teevee before I leave the house for my dinner date tonight! Teehee.

Mobile Themes @WP

Awesome news! Thank you WordPress! This is one of the main reasons why I’ve been such a big fan of WP. Jumped onto the WP wagon and never looked back at blogger ever since, unless of course, required for online assignments.

Tried accessing my own blog through my G1 and I absolutely loved it!
