Seriously right, that white animal on top is like wanking my head.


So regarding my project woes, i have 1 down and 5 more to go.

One of them involves doing a Children's Story Book and we have to do it from scratch. We need to come up with the story, do the illustrations, colour the illustrations and actually print it out as a PROPER BOOK. so going to keep 1 for myself by the way..

anyway im happy with my group because we got the job nicely divided. The girls who can draw did a great job etc. I was in charge of the colouring and im no expert but i got the job done decently i think.

the illustrators drew this




and wanted me to colour it like this



woah. 0.o


sorry, i cant make ham with beansprouts so. :(

Went to pluck my eyebrows before this. There's this REALLY good place in Toa Payoh HDB which looks super dodgey and is run by purely by China ladies. they even have a dodgey shop name like "Best Beauty" or something along that line - but omg, they are DAMN GOOD. they are SERIOUSLY amazing. the magic they do with my eyebrows man!

Friday

BBQ at West Coast Park







Me being really extra among the couples





randomly, i just like this photo.


i should have gone away for a holiday WHY WHY WHYYYY am i stuck here in Singapore :( Need a getaway...

Anyway, i also have 6 projects due (and i only have 5 modules) i really hate project members sometimes. how can ppl be so fucking lazy and dont do shit? dont they have any sense of shame? i practically spoonfed him all the points and he has such a 'tough life' schedule he cant even take 5 mins to read through it. Like seriouussllyy, i should have just done the whole thing myself.

and i have more bitching about another project but maybe another post with another photo dump. this weekend has been cool because i was stressing out over date lines..but i (think) i have everthing under control.

Salsa
Salsa - you know the one you dip tortillas into? I always buy a bottle but never finish it...anyway i digress...

http://www.authenticsalsarecipes.com/images/salsa_ranchera.jpg

im down to my last out of 8 salsa lessons at Jitterbugs under NUS. Woah i actually have a CCA! I think it's called social ballroom dance? Hmm, i have no idea. Maybe it's just called Salsa Club.

So, my biggest problem is letting the guys lead. Dong Wan, who's the president and has to attend every lesson (poor dude) could tell straight away that i was used to choreographed steps. I wasnt letting the guys lead me. Instead i was doing my own stuff.

I guess it isnt surprising. My personality is like that as well. Why let someone lead me when " i can do a better job" right? Typical D type person.

But, it's hard - Some of the guys cant lead for nuts, we'ld do the basic steps 10 million times till he desides to move to the side step, or whatitscalled? im so bad with names. my ballet vocabulary was still as vacant as ever even after 11years.

Some of them are seriously thick, others are there to get some numbers. (yuck)

It's funny because Salsa style is not part of the Salsa course im taking now. apparently im learning the steps, i have to learn the style in another class. HMMM. i wonder if i have the patience try and master salsa. (secretly i only want to learn it because their costumes are so sexy and sparkly) and i mean, fake tan looks tres cool!! I'ld love to be orange and competing one day....

http://images.teamsugar.com/files/users/1/12981/39_2007/salsa.jpg

ok i hope you know im joking about wanting to be orange. -_-


hey you know i really want to learn locking too... even after that HORRENDOUS locking lesson lol.

Starve a fever, feed a cold
Today i went to SCHOOL and bought



2 Mac Dual Edge eye pencils and a Mac Lip Glass in





gosh, i am so productive.

Melissa, Lilian and I were one of the first few in the long queue that snaked around the Central Forum with all the girls clamoring to get grab some Mac products. This is the only time when an 8am lecture turns out to be a good thing...Came home and my sister gave me another 3 tubes of Stila lipgloss with 2 colours each. Means i now have 7 new toys for my lips...now the downside is, i like my lips nude. lol.

Saw Jo and Jo in the queue and the both of them came to school JUST for the Mac sale. hardcore!

In case you're wondering how come Mac was at NUS, we always has such activities, fun!




the NUS arts canteen also has some kickass LAKSA YONG TAU FOO. MMMM. been hearing lots about it ever since i stepped in but i only tried it last week with rox. YUMMMMYYY. My yong tau foo essentials are brinjal (YES!), lots of veggie and definitely NO YELLOW MEE.



Dinner at Kampong Glum - this place TOTALLY ROCKS. i didnt know there was such a cosy nook there. Anyway this place is great because their pratas are yummy and they give you discounts on your food all the time! Can check with amelia. If you're on a budget you should definitely head there one day.

I had onion prata. i love onions.



Dinner at Crystal Jade. I had Xiao Long Baos.




This is my "face is red but since you're taking a photo of me this will have to suffice" pose




i actually think it's quite cool. look at how my pinkies are crossing. so artistic. and you must leave your eyes visible - because House Bunny says the eyes are the nipples of your face.



give you a biscuit if you recreate this pose but im going to give sam a biscuit because she took this pic at such a great angle!!



rox has a priceless face!









and rox also has some cool make up. I just used a random glitter eyeliner (ONLYYY) from rox's table and smudge it to make it look smokey. wish i had a bigger picture but it was cool anyway. love you guys.its time to mee up for dinnnerrrr.



anyway im having a cold. needless to say im been gorging my face. feel sickly boo hoo :( :( :( :(

At 2AMs
















Hey so life is kinda peculiar.... sometimes, you really end up at the wrong place at the wrong time. I am surrounded by happy, blissful, newly got together couples on my right hand and my left hand. We're hanging out together like it was the most normal thing to do. It's almost like a slap in the face. A constant reminder and a constant ache on the inside. I just don't remember ever feeling like that. I dont remember feeling high from love endorphins, and most of all, i dont remember falling in love. i think, it started all wrong. i think we were at the wrong place at the wrong time. I think it was almost as though we were hiding in the back pocket of a pair of hand-me-down pants. Never saw the light of day and always hanging around ourselves. Very unhealthy.

Actually, maybe all along it was only me hanging out by myself in the back of his pocket.


The other day Frank looked at Jason and Cheryl and went, "they are so loving". Sweet couple, they look so cute together. i decided to play footsie with the gravel on the floor instead. I went to Jason's house and saw a beautiful picture of the 2 of them together on his desk. It's his girlfriend on his computer desktop too...I bet they must have had a great one month. FACEBOOK, he has an album of Cheryl with the location: in my heart. cue the confetti. It's romantic. It's these little gestures that make your girl feel special.

We dont need expensive things, we dont need $100 bouquets. Flowers die anyway. Guess it's true, ppl express their love differently, but seems like i want CONVENTIONAL LOVE. CONVENTIONAL ROMANCE.

Oh and you know Chris, (ok maybe you dont) his MSN nick is "ecstatically in love!". It's so sweet. I mean, it's always nice to know that your other half wants to show you off to the world.


Bless your hearts, i love all of you.

DANCE FLOW
Was watching 舞林大道 last night - Taiwan's answer to America's Next Best Dance Crew and Dance Flow is the only team worth watching.

DAMN their choreography is awesome. seamless blocking changes, subtle hand work and high octane moves. They obviously have technique, look professional and there's really an aura about them. They've categorized themselves as Free Style and you definitely see lots of influences in their work from locking to jazz to digits.

there's this girl, Lin, the one doing the solos, that is supposed to resemble 大S who is damn hot and has that X factor. Quality is so horrid on youtube but she's really pretty. and, i always secretly liked 大S because she looks so gu niang and frail but she's a bad ass whoo.


and honestly, i have no respect for all those girl groups who do"NEW JAZZ" in bikinis and fishnets, flash their cleavage and shake some ass. Dont sell your sex appeal, sell your technique if any. NEW JAZZ IS DAMN BULLSHIT please. it's like an excuse for girls to be slutty and act like they can dance. >.<

RIP Fatty
On Saturday afternoon, the family hamster - Fatty as we affectionately called him/her (we never quite figured it out), died. It has been 3+ years, that makes her about 100 years old in human. For the past week i'ld been hand feeding her water and food because she couldnt move. She'ld lie in her food dish and sleep the whole time. She could barely open her eyes.

This morning when i looked into her cage her pupils were protruding, lucid, wide open and piercing. She refused to eat or drink. I couldnt see her tiny abdomen expanding and contracting. She lay there gasping for breath between intervals. I honestly couldnt bare to look further. All this while i just wanted her to go in peace and i was very sad that she couldnt. Honestly, i've never cared for any hamster as much as i cared for Fatty and my heart breaks thinking about it.

http://www.officebuzz.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/d_hams.jpg

This is what she looked like when she was younger. She was fat and well-fed. When she died, she was emancipated and had flaking skin and bald spots.

Dear Fatty, if all dogs go to heaven, hamsters must too. So rest in peace. You were a good hamster. :(

Out of my Element
my heart broke for Massa!

Free lanyards everyone was clamoring for.




Takes a free item to get ugly heads rearing.



A lot of people thought i was trying to sell the items.

They would go "how much?" after i explained to them what the decals were.
and i would say, "it's free!".
And then they would reply "OH!", and promptly take a few more.



Howard and I.
Evidently, he is very tall!

dinner consisted of takeaway junk like an $8 hotdog and $5 fries for those nights. ick!


Grandma's birthday at Aquamarine




cutting the cake






food food food!

Oysters plus Tabasco plus lemon juice is ultimate shiok! i used to think oysters tasted like sewer water but apparently it's an acquired taste. yum!



half a family shot


I feel like im in orientation all over again. Only i joined in the activities a bit too late. You know how it feels like, like a fish out of water. Everybody has their cliques already. You don't know anybody, you dont understand the private jokes, mostly you just sit there keep quiet because you feel like you cant communicate anyway. It is hard trying.

It's like how they say it's peas and carrots. Our cultures and lifestyles are so different i cant imagine. It's weird in a way. How did 1 year go by without myself even realising that we're so different we could be on almost complete ends of a spectrum.

and all this while...

sometimes i feel like time slipped out from between our fingers.
