DOC, From Odyssey and Beyond!

2010-04-26T13:14:00.006+08:00

(This shall be a pure DOC post. Another post will be up for other stuff!)

Being a GL was one of the most rewarding experiences i've ever had in my life. At the end of the camp, all your freshies appreciate what you have done, and you get to know all those in your subempire, make friends with them! And when design school won the best-spirited school award we've been striving for, i screamed and jumped like mad.
Day zero was spent preparing and getting hyped up for the camp.

Day 1
Ice-breaking.

Station games.

The 'pikachus' of Hooza HAHA

Art attack. Couldn't find the pic for the whole big picture though.

Day 2After the teaching of handsign song + mass dance was go-out-games!
Purpose was to let the freshies familiarize themselves to the places where designers usually go to print/buy their stuff.

Map that our freshies made. Damn cute!

Nightwalk was a total disappointment because 2 of the scariest levels were closed by the time it was our turn :((( Heard one of the freshies had hyperventilation and was sent to hospital that's why. Poor hooza only got to walk the 4 levels left.

Day 3
After the freshies had interaction with their course managers, played the mass game.

Weather. Was. Freaking. Hot.

Mass game!

After mass game was preparation for performance night, and i'm so proud of hooza cause many of the stepped up to lead in the choreography.

Perf night was awesome! Everyone did great :D I love the video clips done by media about the school rules, damn funny (Y) A pity we didn't get to do our GL cheer, i like eh =/ But it's okay! Campfire surprise was cancelled due to the rain, sighhhh.

Day 4Final clash + TP Regatta! Competing with the other schools.
I was in the sports complex with the freshies waiting for their turn for the olympiad (games), tgt with Amber Cassie Joy and another GL, duno his name lol. Aaron helped us out while waiting for his turn for dragonboat, thanks! It's nice how 4 of us are from the same course/class. At the sports com, only design cheered with the rest outside and we cheered the loudest! Other schools sit there and stone only! Heheh i'm so proud of us.

@ Bedok Reservoir

DESIGN SHOWERRRR

Hoogi GLs :D

Our blow-bubble thingy and name cards! :D

The last debrief with Hooza was heart-warming when GLs gave our reflections to the freshies, and passed postcards around for everyone to write one. So cute lah they! Write cute stuff. Haha.

And not forgetting the 3 china exchange students that followed Hooza, THEY ARE SO APPRECIATIVE AND ENTHUSIASTIC i felt totally undeserving of their appreciation! We GLs helped them a little, but they treated us like we're angels or something! They even gave us letters + presents on the last day, plus a hug each! I was so overwhelmed that i didn't know what to say. SO TOUCHED :'(

OH YA and on Day 1 night, Hoogi girl GLs snuggled in our sleeping bags, forming a circle with our heads in the center to gossip about someone we call 'ebuddy'. Talked bout our experiences etc and it was damn LOL hahahaha. Then it became our favourite thing to do throughout the camp ;D

Overall, freshies' love + china students' love + design winning best-spirited + Hoogi GLs' gossips
made this camp the most fulfilling and memorable camp ever. (L)

Hoogi GLs' Go-Out-Day photos during DOTC2
Hoogi on strike!

This is our Hoogi lip-sync video btw!

Space Odyssey

2010-04-08T14:38:00.005+08:00

Added 5 new photos!

HAHA happening expressions.

During station games.

Everyone hangs their photo on their lanyards. :D

Town outing to complete tasks.

LOLOLOL

We did most of this map during our trip back.

Aww sweet.

It's morphing time!

LOL damn retarded.

Mass dance

Me looking tired.

Mass game.

Me looking pitiful :( hahaha

DOTC 2 was great! :)
Bonded more with Hoogi peeps. Our hoogie boogie cheer owns manz. It's nice how the main comm added stuff like taking photos as part of tasks etc, and we got to create fun videos. Every empire had to create a video according to different songs given to each of them. The main comm's vid is super awesome and funny! But they haven't upload so can't show you guys.
Here's the Hoogi mtv:

Night walk wasn't scary like i expected. I backed out of the previous one when i was a freshie, but decided to give it a try this time since i'm a GL alr, gotta be brave. I've also been 'ghost' during 2 nightwalks before so i understand how everything goes and that it's actually not scary. Was kinda nervous at first cause they described the nightwalk to be quite scary. But after a short while, i wasn't scared at all alr cause the 'ghosts' look human-like, not scary. Can even recognize a number of them lol. Yay i'm proud to say i'm not afraid of nightwalks anymore! :D

Campfire + performance night was.. okay but everyone wasn't high enough, somehow. And the repetition of doing mass dances etc was damn sianz =/ Was very tempted to dance to Gee when they played it lol.
Anyway i think Hoogi put in the most effort in rehearsing for the performance night! :D

We stayed back to paint our Hoogi flag and it turned out niceeee!

After camp, Hoogi met up in school to make our identities: can shakers (green beans inside), braided headbands, and painted our own shirts. The theme is Space so we each drew different shapes on our shirts to show 'space' within the shapes. Cheem only.
Nadiah accompanied me to take 969 back, so sweet of her :D Met clique for dinner at Ishi Mura.

Mine is bunny!

- Before DOTC2 -
Medic course was fun, with funny demonstrations and stuff. Got to know Nadiah and i realised i could click with her better than any other Hoogilans! Good thing we'll be in the same sub empire during DOC :)

Package distribution was quite interesting. I think design school is really sincere! I'm quite sure other schools in TP or other polys don't send orientation packages right to the freshies' doorsteps! We even introduced ourselves, told them details of the camp and welcomed them to TP design school ok! If i were the freshies i'll surely go 'awww so sweet of them!' hahaha.

THIS I WANTTTTT

[above photos taken by madeline.]

Design History & Culture is a crappy module, and Ernest didn't give clear instructions for our final assignments. So we crapped it out last min and submitted to him lol. He kept canceling lessons last min when i'm already on the way to school -.-

Photography was fun and tough too. Went around to shoot, and photoshoots can be really tedious due to all the walking and looking. Went to places like orchard, marina barrage, clarke quay, yishun etc. And since i helped model for Madeline's shots, i'll have some nice pics to put as profile pics yayyy. Shall post them after she has uploaded!

Photoshoot @ Orchard

For final submission everyone was given a theme to shoot and i got 'expressions'. So i went around shooting close-up shots of people. Was quite stressful near the deadline, but i managed to salvage the situation with last minute shots on the submission day itself, with madeline. She came to my house in the morning for me to model for her shots, and accompanied me for my shoot around yishun. Waking up early that day was totally worth it.

Little girl at bugis. SHE'S SO SWEET!

Wed, last day of lesson, ate sakae buffet & shopping with madeline at orchard! Laughed a lot at sakae (idk why but there's always super funny things to laugh at when i eat at sakae buffets). Managed to buy some tops and accessories :D

Btw GMH is a site with sweet touching stories, something opposite of FML http://www.givesmehope.com/ Do have a look! Or follow their twitter.

Birthday:
Initially clique said they could only make it the day after, so i had no choice but to oblige.
Was disappointed the whole day, until they surprised me at my doorstep with a cake. Mum was in cahoots with them too! Thanks clique :) PS: swollen eyes in the pictures because i cried =/

Bought this bag for my 3 camps ahead. Spent $139 on it @@ but it's leather and damn nice! :D

PrinceKyu singing his solo 7 Years of Love. He sings so beautifully. And the music's so jazzy i like!
I cried after reading the eng subs ); The song is so so so saddd. The audience looked super touched too.

English translation:

We met for seven years
No one knew we would say goodbye this easily
However we still separated
With the memories we built for a long time, now gone

How did we at such a young age
Meet each other, I don’t even remember how
Difficult for us to handle the maps of our changing selves
They said saying goodbyes are painful
But I didn’t even have time to feel that
I just thought this is the way staying composed

But I cried
Time passed it gave me a simple yearning
Different from what my mind was seeing
At first friends then next as lovers
We said we’d stay as friends even if we separated

During those 3 years spent alone
We contacted each other sometimes

Even if I met someone else again
Even I loved again
Whenever I was sad I would call you without a word just tears falling
You have to meet a good person
I thought in my heart without any words
I asked if you still liked me without any thought hoping you say it back

I know
We had the most pure love
Back then we thought that kind of love couldn’t be done again so we saved it in our memories
Often I feel a cold feeling from you
But now I know you can not ask anything

“I’m getting married” is what you said to me
After that for a long time I was speechless
Then I cried, they were your last words to me
For the only words I wanted to hear was that you loved me

Kyuhyun singing A Whole New World duet with Charice Pempengco. Amazingggg powerful voices (Y) They sang just like the original version of the song man.

Super Junior mini drama episode 3. Each story per episode. Some are damn LOL but this epi is quite touching. Most importantly, kyuhyun's the main lead! :D

"A guy won’t flirt when 钱不够用. Act as Liang Po Po & he 突然发财. Then That One Not Enough. So started his own Love Matters (幸福万岁). But then his wife told him I Not Stupid Too. He 吓到笑. "爱都爱都 love you, dear! Please give me One More Chance (3个好人)." But his wife replied “ Just Follow Law and divorce ba. 跑吧,孩子!" And soon, Singapore won't be seeing low graded movies like 老师嫁老大 anymore. Hopefully you will now know how to 做人."

Lastly, i've created a blog where i post random thoughts, everyday. Do check it out yeah? http://frostywinter.tumblr.com/

Theme: TP celebration

Rationale:
Moon Flower
The moonflower is a flower that blooms at night. It thus represents we the students, blooming under pressure, stress and working late nights. The night is symbolically a period of hardship. The moon has always been a source of guidance at night. It gives hope to the lost and strength to hope for the end of the cold night and the dawn of a new day. The ribbon tied on the moonflower is a symbol of the celebration of the unity of the students under the school colour.

This, is the result of 20++ hours of hardcore painting. Went school early like 8.40am, and painted all the way till 11pm without eating, for 2+ days x.x

Currently having Design History & Culture, and Photography. DHC is okay, very slack so far :D The lecturer just talks all the way about human culture and stuffs, and lets us watch documentaries. No assignments yet even after a week, shiok or what.
For photography, the lecturer keeps letting us watch videos about photography and his photos etc. He's really cool luh, he was a photo journalist who risked his life to take photos of the Iraq war, prisoners, and much more concerning humanity. Kinda inspired me.

Photoshoot around school:

Met madeline at vivo for photoshoot for lights & shadows assignment:

Aaron's so creative even in squeezing paint LOL.

Designer: no sleep LOL

Been spamming reblogged pics of kyuhyun at http://frosty-winter.tumblr.com/ heh :P He's really kyuuuu!

We're supposed to cut out a piece of fabric (bottom left), paste it and do 6 colour divisions using poster paint.

Dreamscape painting using water colour.

Earthscape using acrylic paint.

Pastel painting

I really had a breakthrough because this is the first time i did paintings seriously, and the lecturer seems kinda impressed :DD Very worried for my final painting though, it's 1m x 1m and i only have 2 days to do it x.x

Lo hei during programme meeting :D

Had a great dinner with some of them afterwards, and yue wen is really good at horoscope reading! She went through the characteristics the horoscopes of everyone there, and it was accurate!

Some creative person used pins to make super mario!

Priming our boards for 1m x 1m final assignment.

Chocolate from chocolate research facility is awesomeeee (Y)
A box of happiness.

CNY is boringgg =/ Tonight was great though, watched Valentine's Day and it's really nice MUST WATCH! :D Today Was A Fairytale by Taylor Swift kept ringing in my head after the show lol. Alvin happy not. Hahaha. It sounded better when played in the movie. Then went to mum's friend's house (also marcus' house) for an eight-course dinner + lots of wine + chatting.

Hello! It's been long since i updated i know i knowww. That's because i've been reeeeeaaaaally busy with assignments =/

I'm taking 2D art fundamentals + typography now, 2 heavy modules.
2D art is mainly about painting, colours, and lots of abstraction. So got lots of painting to do. Fun but takes up a lot of time. We gotta do a 1m x 1m painting for our final assignment x.x
For typo, we learn about fonts, their structure, how to manipulate them, how to use them according to the different moods. We gotta do stuff like choose a suitable font, and adjust the spacings, size, boldness, italics etc to portray the mood of a quote/lyrics/picture. Assignments are easy but a lot.

Abstraction of a plane, using only tints & shades.

Abstraction formed by cars ^ and bubble tea.

Tried pen drawing, not too bad i guess =x

Everyone pinned their work up.

Colour wheel.

OTC refresh was okayyy. Programmers followed our own empires with the GLs and played some bonding station games planned by the main comms. Picture credits to huimin.

Sub comm's SUSU Wave ~

Had Holae dinner at simpang bedok, and we decided on our holae tee design: pink, with a beige oval patch at the front and long tail at the back. What does that remind you of?
PINK PANTHER ;D Damn cute eh. I also think it's possible that we might use the pink panther dance for our cheers :D

Last week, mum drove me to jalan kayu (upper seletar reservoir) for a short photoshoot :D

One of my tweets: On the bus ride home, on the highway at night, i get to enjoy a display of lights formed by lamp posts and car lights, and turn them to bokeh by watching them cross-eyed. Pretty :D Must try okay!

PS: Design school's pepper steak is nice!

Okay i can't think of anything to blog about already =/

Like The First Time - T-ara
Nice song!

2010-01-19T02:36:00.006+08:00

Meet my new pet, Shadow.

Its name in italics, because it looks more sophisticated HAHA :P Initially, i had the intention of buying the Olympus E-P1 after realising it's considered a dslr, because it's compact and veryyy pretty. Second choice was canon 5ooD. But after much comments from people that canon is better, i changed my mind. Especially the sales assistant. He talked about his experiences with canon, how many people regret getting the E-P1 and how i'll never regret getting canon. I thought i still needed some time to think but after his ultra-convincing speech, i was sold. Hahaha, i feel quite lousy to be convinced by the sales assistant but oh well.

Anyway, i love the other names of the 500D: Rebel T1i and Kiss X3! They look so much cooler than just the silver 500D on mine =/ I asked the sales assistant why they don't have those with Rebel T1i and Kiss X3 at the bottom, he said they're not available in singapore T.T Very sad.

(Click to enlarge)

Some shots of Whisky and random stuff taken with Shadow :D All of them are non-edited.

This ball so pretty right!! :D

I managed to capture a bokeh(blurred lights) on my first try!

The photos don't show much because they're mostly taken close-up at home, at night. Shall try taking some pics outside when i'm free. I've been enjoying taking nice pics and experimenting with Shadow :) I like holding the bulky camera with both hands, peeping through the view finder, adjusting the zoom and focus. I feel like i'm at a new stage of my life. :D I'm gonna try to shoot heart bokeh next time, like these:

The following pics taken with my T2.

下一站，幸福 is super niceeee :D I think the happenings in the show are quite unique and some surprised me. Like the part where she made the car hit the bus, and what she said after she realised he wanted to take a pic of them kissing. I was like: woah nice one!

海派甜心 is niceee too. I really miss da lang a lotttt he's super cute omg. And 13 episodes is so short =/ Can't get enough!

I've a huge problem deciding which phone to get, again. Here's the breakdown of my analysis:
- For Yari, i love the colour and design. And there's this feature where games can be played like Wii, using gestures, sounds fun? The main thing is, IT'S SUPER CHIO.
- For W302, i like how it's super slim and compact, simple design and all black, very coolz.
- For my current phone, i still like the design, many ppl said it's cool, but there's some problems with phone calls and i'm quite sian of it.
Let me see what y'all think! Vote okay!

Mass OTC outing @ Sentosa

All sentosa pics from huimin's camera.

Loveee this pic :D

Programmers.

It was weimin's birthday, so we brought flour, whipped cream and cake to sabo him lol.

OUCH.

I can totally hide behind shaun manz.

Huimin said i look like cyndi in this pic?

Jeremy! Still likes to mess up my hair like last time.

This pic taken by joan.

All GL empires and subcomms went, but only took pics with programmers other than jeremy. Anyways had fun :D The sun was scorching but i didn't seem as burnt as i expected. Liked the game of captain's ball, programmers played against logistics. Then went to have out dinner at vivo's sky park.

The current module i'm taking is Professional Communication for Design. It lets us learn how to prepare for an interview, how to do well in it. We had a mock interview ytd after much preparation of cover letter, resume, design philosophy, company research and portfolio. My group was part of the panel for the interview of the first group. It was an individual interview and i felt so scared for the interviewees. Learnt from the mistakes they made, so i wasn't that nervous after that. But when it was my turn i think i screwed it because when i answered the questions i talked quite a lot and strayed from the main point lol. And i was flipping through my portfolio to find stuff =/

TP open house last day tmr(sat)! I won't be helping out tmr though, lazy :P Go have a look kay my cchy juniors! :D There's exhibitions all around design school btw, check it out!

I'm considering getting a Canon EOS 500D/450D/1000D, anyone knows about them do tell me about them kay!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Been long since i've spent christmas in singapore. And it's sianz i'd rather spend it at some other country, there's much more atmosphere there. I remember korea having snow, a lot of people were carrying x'mas cakes on x'mas eve. Many were wearing reindeer/santa hat clips/hairbands. At australia, houses were decorated beautifully with x'mas lights and we had fun admiring them. How it's like in singapore: watch movie, dinner, gift exchange, some friends even slept the day away at home. So sad right. :(

Nvm, shall serve you a cup of love :) Photo credit to anrb

Am so in love with bokeh now.

X'mas cards i've written for a few friends. Why some so long still haven't receive? =/

Film photo from Kite's holga.
DOTC1 was okay, i guess the absence of many people made it less high. My empire was Holae! I liked how we did a great job during the mass game planning and coming up of cheers. Our game was like fool-proof because hardly anyone asked any question during the presentation ;D My idea leh! Don't pray pray :D
I liked the 'kidnapped' game too, one member of every empire was 'kidnapped' without us knowing, and we had to search for him. The kidnapper would sms us the clues, tasks, riddles, locations, which would lead us to the kidnapped member.
Had cup noodles for supper after that, and sufficient sleep yay :D
Can't find photos of the camp in FB though, only the one above =/

Had steamboat with clique, edward, qimian, sherman, bryan at sherman's house and it was great :D Had a mini early celebration for darl's birthday. Will celebrate again next week. I still don't like the taste of alcohol =/ But drank a bottle of breezer for the fun of it. And red wine still tastes damn yucky, i wonder when i'll learn to appreciate it.

Like this pic :D

Watched Avatar and it's awesomeeee :D The blue people don't look that bad afterall. Touching story, with some action. (Y) Go watch if you haven't!

Bought a chio hard disk and thumbdrive from funan like finally :D Bought 2 new books from borders too. Mum said those shall be my x'mas presents lol. And i've been drinking a lot of starbucks lately. Caramel frap is niceee too! Love the combination of caramel + whipped cream.

Random. I like my toenails and the sandals.

Mum agreed to buy me a new camera for my birthday (!!!) :D Am considering whether to get a DSLR or a semi-pro compact one like the lumix lx3 or leica d-lux 4. Of course a dslr would be best, but i like to bring my camera everywhere with me, and i'm damn lazy to bring a bulky dslr out for photoshoots or occasions. Will have to learn to use it too. The good thing is, i'll need one for my photography module next time so if i get one soon i don't have to borrow from school. And a dslr takes better photos, and i won't have to upgrade (as in if i buy a semi-pro one, i might have to upgrade and buy a dslr next time anyway).
But i really want a compact one which would be convenient to bring around. An upgrade from my Sony Cybershot T2. Help? I really really really need advice.

Leica d-lux 4. Looks vintage i like!

School's starting tmr SIANZXZX i haven't enjoyed myself enough yet =/ Anyway my lessons for this block would be 3pm-6pm everyday. At least i can still sleep till late :D

I like this bread from 7-11 ! Super soft.

PS: Have you noticed that the quality of blogger photos has become good again? :D
& tag more pls! My blog's so lonely with so little tags :(

OTC 09/10: The Gathering

2009-12-22T02:23:00.009+08:00

4D3N of OTC had been a learning experience for me. I've realised that there's a whole lot more to being a programmer. I've realised how stressful it is, how much brain juice we have to squeeze out of our brains. I had to overcome the state of blanking out whenever i speak to a big group of people. Learned to deal with last minute situations, climb into the forbidden swimming pool area to shower and more. Even learned how to use a walkie talkie ^^ Lazy to elaborate, let the pictures and timetables do the talking. Not everything stated in the timetables apply to us though. Credits to huimin for some of the photos.

Day zero was mainly the trying out and preparation etc. Theme of the camp was Mafia!
Got our army bags at $3! Cheap rightttt. Got 2 of the tees. Prepared logistics till around 5am for the games the next day. Slept at the corridor as it was cooler out there =/

Day 1

Taught the GLs the school song, hand sign song, mass dance. Executed our first station games, i kept blanking out x.x As it was our first try, received negative feedback and i was very discouraged, even wanted to be like shaun can go korea halfway through the camp! Tsk.

Day 2

Justin's birthday! Executed our second games, and feedback stated that i improved! :D Nightwalk was quite fail for engine school.

Sorry for the sian face =/

Day 3

After all the waiting for debrief, celebrating of chris' birthday, dinner at CPF building, i managed to take the last 969 back to yishun with sugar, jolene, ruting. And only reached home at around 1am! So the whole camp was in fact 4D4N @.@

This is our programmers' cheer! Inspired by L4D in hokkien. It's quite funny lol. And since the camp's theme is mafia, it's suitable.

And the rain dance from design school REALLY WORKS, whenever we do it it'll rain. Never failed before so far, out of all those i've seen.

After the whole of OTC, was super shag after only having about 3 hours of sleep everyday, and all the running around and mass dances. Shall blog about DOTC 1 the next time :) Clique let's go kbox quick!!

Cute mv :)

Unwell

SORRY MY DEAR READERS FOR NOT UPDATING FOR SO LONG.
Been reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyy lazy. Procrastination has been my best friend.
Anyways this post shall be flooded with webcam photos because i've downloaded new photobooth effects, so coolz :D

For the past weeks, my macbook spoilt, sent it for repair, lost all the data and photos, didn't do backup. FML. Collected macbook back at funan, it's still problematic sometimes RAWR WTF IS WRONG WITH IT?!?! Met up with madeline, jannson, sherlyn, joy to do our group report at marina square's starbucks. Suddenly, the waiter came to us to inform those at starbucks that they are giving out free drinks then. We were like: omg serious?! Then i found out it's a x'mas event, and they encouraged us to donate to the salvation army in collaboration with the event. Donated $2 to somehow clear some of my conscience. Ordered toffeenut frappucino and IT'S AWESOME I LOVE IT :D Then shopped at far east with madeline.

Wanted to go for DOC(design orientation camp) GL(group leader) interview with madeline that week, but kept procrastinating because the interview room always seemed crowded and scary when we peeped through the door. On the last day of interview, saw amber and he asked me to go for the interview. I asked if he's gonna be one of the interviewers and he said yes, so i asked him to interview us later heh. He said he'll help me get in. Yingying interviewed us too and it's good cause she's casual and nice :D But, i still blanked out during the interview anyway =/

On sat, watched 2012 with mum and it's quite awesome :D A little draggy but i cried a few times =x Then watched New Moon again to see my jacob again, with glenn. Then ate dinner at a cheap jap restaurant, then met mum with her friends to eat ice cream at Ice Kimo at thomson road :9

Played pool with joey on sunday, dinner with darl at 18 chefs on monday, camwhored.
Did work with darl at starbucks the next day. Then shopped at bugis but didn't manage to get anything =/ Darl's like addicted to Gee - SNSD hahaha.
And I GOT INTO DOC GL YEAHHHH :D

I like my new studded bracelet :D

Final group presentation on wed, then we're freeeeeee :D Meisin(lecturer) was so nice, she used her own camera and took photos and video of all of us, uploaded and gave us the link to the album! And she gave us kitkat before dismissing us! :D Here's roughly the convo we had:

Meisin: Do you all rmb the ad about the guy talking about salmons?
Us: Yup, the kitkat ad!
Meisin: Rmb what he said about the salmon?
Us: Salmons work too hard, but we're not salmons so we should have a break, have a kitkat!
Meisin: Sooooo, (takes out a cooler bag) i've brought... (unzips)
Us: OMG KITKAT LOL! :D

Thursday, lunched with darl at eighteen chefs before going far east to shop. Actually planned to go kbox but i was having sore throat and cough =/ Sorry for being quite sian at the later half of the day, wasn't feeling well =/ Felt like dying at night. Was having flu, blocked nose, cough, sore throat, nose bleed.

Today, was still having those symptoms =/ The skin of my nose was painful after blowing my nose and wiping a million times. Didn't wanna visit the doctor because i'm afraid i'll have to get the jab. So bought strepsils, pi pa gao and lemsip and spammed them lol. Didn't attend either FO subcomm workshop or DSC workshop =/

I've been listening to chinese songs a lot recently, shall switch to 987fm soon to update myself on english songs.

Look at the mountain of tissue i've used in a day LOL. Don't worry it didn't start from the bottom.

This is my desktop wallpaper currently! :D

Bought this new chair for my study room from Ikea :D I like leather chairs.

This is the cutest thing ever.

潘裕文- "帮你记得" @ 真情无障爱

Fell in love with this song after watching his performance that night, with the emotions and all. Below's the mv.

潘裕文 - 幫妳記得

Lastly,
I'll be going for OTC(orientation training camp) monday to thursday!
Clique, MUST WAIT FOR ME TO GO KBOX OKAY! Or i'll be damn saddddd :(
Mum wanted to go taiwan actually but my holidays will be occupied with 2 training camps :(

2009-11-28T02:17:00.006+08:00

Saw a rainbow yon friday, made a wish that i can get into design orientation camp's GL! Will go for the interview next week.

I realised that when my mum unlocks the car it'll cast this pretty light thingy on the wall.

I know i've not been blogging for some time.. that's because nothing eventful happened, no nice photos to post =/

Okay let's see, in the previous weeks i had programmers meeting, played pool, sold my first item on my blogshop, watched My Sister's Keeper at library on Shaun's laptop, watched Astro Boy with mum. My Sister's Keeper was touching, but i didn't cry, surprisingly. Astro Boy was okay not bad, but not awesome i guess.
Played Icy Tower and other FB games with Madeline during marketing lessons which are damn slack :D Got A for the first marketing assignment which is quite unbelievable. For the first time i handed in assignments on time (because there's nothing much to do for marketing, just some reports).
Realised Mei Sin (marketing lecturer) is really nice actually, it's just that she was bitchy on the first day HAHA. She's cute too, like once when i was sitting on the floor and did a stretch with my head tilted, she looked at me, tilted her head the same direction and smiled! Lols. And she lets us have half hour tea breaks, lets us have group discussions and walks around monitoring our progress. Best thing is, i've only this module and it's damn slack, i get to sleep till around 10am on average (Y)

Ytd, i went swimming with mum in the morning. Got a little sun burnt :D Not obvious in the above pic though.
Then watched New Moon YIPEEEE! It's actually not officially released yet but they had this advanced sales thingy and i tried to see whether there's good seats online, and there was! I think it started showing already, go watch! 2012's cinema seats are ALWAYS fully occupied whyyyyy x.x

SO, New Moon was awesomeeee :D Actually i'm not very sure too, because i've already read the story, might be emotionally swayed. But it's definitely better than Twilight. And the main reason why i love it is due to the appearance of Jacob. HE IS SIZZLING HOT. (Not with the long hair of course) And i love his voiceee. I've always preferred Jacob to Edward throughout the whole saga heh. He doesn't look as good in photos but looks much better in the movie. I can't believe Taylor Lautner is born in the same year as me, 17 too and just 17 days older @.@ I won't mind watching New Moon again just to watch him. Really. Ahhh Eclipse quick come out!
My mum was so excited about the show that she went popular to look for the whole set of Twilight saga LOL. But she prefers to read chinese cause she'll read slower in english, and the chinese version doesn't have a whole set tgt so she bought twilight first.

*Sizzle*

New Moon's trailer featuring Jacob.

I like it when he hugs Bella at 1:17. In the movie she was like couldn't bear to let go of his body after the hug lol.

Randoms.

This is the Twilight spoof, damn hilarious!

New Moon spoof adapted from the official trailer, damn LOL also.

And i like this song recently. Ending song of Hotshot.

2009-11-16T03:49:00.007+08:00

Last week was rather hectic x.x Was rushing book illustration, and writing a story for creative writing. And the book illustration assignment was a huge investment luh! For that i bought watercolour pencils, $15, spray mount (to stick the pages), $15, printing on harder paper, $12+, print wrong have to reprint, $++.

Click each image to view each page clearly. If you're lazy to click one by one and don't mind the images being smaller, click here to view a slideshow of the pages of my book.

But anyway, the book was quite successful after a failed attempt :) I handed in late so 50% of the marks gone x.x Many friends were impressed though :D Heh.
I handed in the creative assignment late too =/

Last night i showed my mum the book i made.
(in cantonese)
Me: See, i made this book.
Mum: (didn't hear properly) Huh? When did you buy this book?
Me: No luh! I MADE it myself!
Mum: O.O omg how did you make it?!
Me: That was what i've been painting about luh.
Mum: Ohh, WOWWW SO NICEEE! Very nice! My baby so clever!
Me: (happy only) ;D

An awesome piece of news: I GOT INTO PROGRAMMER :DDD
They called me the night before the date of release of results, was like hopping around ;D Then i told Shaun and waited for him to tell me good news too. But he didn't get the call the whole night, and the next day, and was depressed. I was sian also. He gave up hope at night, and then suddenly got informed that he got in, at 12.40am! Whoooooots :D Scare us only.

So we'll have programmer meetings every friday till next year FO. Met Shaun and Nianqi on friday before going for the meeting at 7.30, and played pool while waiting. Thanks for the TP badges!

During the programmers meeting, realised 1/3 of us are from rinku! :D But i think they separate us purposely for the planning of station games :( We gotta discuss and plan the games, and send in the drafts by wed. =/

Rushed to causeway point to celebrate laogong/laopo's birthday. Clique and Ed were eating sakae buffet before i arrived. I'm so sorry i could only make it sooo late :( By the time i reached, it was around 10pm already and the shopping mall was closing. Luckily Breadtalk was still open, so i bought the cake and surprised her outside the mall. We sat outside and celebrated, had fun :)
Happy birthday laogong/laopo! Love you ♥ :D

The only module i'm taking now is Marketing for Designers, boring subject. For the first half hour of the lecturer's intro talk, my eyes were struggling to stay open @.@ And, the lecturer's a woman who's about 50 years old. I don't like her. She isn't the motherly kind, she's more like a step mother =/ She's so strict too, not like the younger, more casual more lenient lecturers that teach design/art stuff. Maybe because this subject is more business-like.
Timetable now's 3pm-6pm everyday, only one module = more relaxing. Can wake up later too :DDDDDDDDD But i can't wait to get this module over and done with.

Mum's going germany for a week tmr which means home alone again. I'm worried about cockroaches x.x

Wish upon the rainbow

2009-11-07T22:45:00.019+08:00

Hello! :D Been busy with assignments. Here's one, packaging design. I did on Meiji Milk Chocolate.

Now for applied illustration, we're to illustrate a book of at least 8 pages. Gotta complete by next wed, and I'M FREEEEEE :D

Testing colours.

For creative writing, i've been enjoying it as usual :) Now we're covering plot structure, stories. Once, we're to interview a partner, and ask questions about what happens in the partner's dreams. The partner is to come up with any random funny absurd stuffs, so it was really fun :D Then Paul randomly selected a few to read out the partner's dreams, and we laughed much as usual. Same for another exercise too, when a group of us were given random characters, places, situations, and had to create a story with those.
Once, Paul let us watch a movie, The Usual Suspects :D For us to analyze the plot structure. Then another day Paul brought books of re-written fairytales. Like how the big bad wolf was actually an innocent wolf who just wanted to borrow sugar from the 3 pig neighbours, and he had a bad flu so he kept sneezing and sneezed their houses down. He let us read some Just-so stories too.

These exercises were meant to show us how to do our next assignment, which is to write a fairytale with a twist in the story.

Optical fibre i think.

Oh and on monday, i wore a bright neon yellow jacket to school, which sparked much controversy LOL. I bought it online and thought it was lime green, didn't expect it to be more to the yellow side. And, i wore it to school because i thought it wasn't so bright, since it looked okay at home that morning. =/ Attracted a lot of attention in school lol. But it's okay in design school. Didn't wanna take off cause it was really colddd. But at least Shaun and Yongzheng and maybe Amber said it was nice ;D Anyway, i don't wanna wear it out anymore! So paiseh. Pictures of it:

Went for FO(freshmen orientation camp)'s programmer interview with Shaun on wed. We really hope we'll get in. I was scared to go for interview at first, but i thought to myself: FO's the most happening event in TP, so much fun, i should give it ago. If i get in it'll be awesome, if i can't at least i've tried and have no regrets. Anyway a programmer is to plan and execute games during the next FO for the freshies. I'm not super interested in planning games but i'd love to be in the camp because it's just so fun.

Saw a longgg rainbow that morning :D It sort of gave me hope about getting into FO.

Click to read the comic i drew :) I can't draw humans for nuts. Got my inspiration from the day i went for the iCool event. While going home, i thought it was weird to bring my balloon up the bus. So i went mushroom and released the balloon, and watched it fly up to the sky :D It's a really nice feeling.

Went to watch Waves 14 dance concert at SP on friday with darl, laogong/laopo and ed, to support dearie! The performance was awesome :D All your hardwork had paid off dearie! Poor thing having to rehearse till 10pm like everyday, and getting so many bruises all over! D: Rest well after this kay! Well done girl :)

After that, went back northpoint to eat. Only agreed to eat at Xin Wang Hong Kong Kitchen because it was already 11+pm, it opens 24hrs, we were hungry, and laogong/laopo didn't wanna eat mac =/ I ate there before and the food sucked. This time i was giving it a second chance. The teh peng was not bad. BUT THE FOOD SUCKED LIKE @#$@*&^%. Ordered ham & egg spaghetti. Spaghetti bolognese sauce too sweet. Ham like taken from some tin can. Egg's a sunny-side up, not very nice. Best thing on the plate was the piece of raw cucumber. So we all agreed that the signature dish in Xin Wang is cucumber LOL. I finished most of it though, don't wanna waste and hungry. And the sucky meal cost around $13! Sucky food for such a price, wthell. Amazingly, that restaurant always seem to have good business, i seriously wonder why.

Anyway we still had a great time making fun of the restaurant and talking about Hui Ci (the one on jacky gogogo who always goes "ohmyGOD~~!" LMAO. Kept imitating her ;D

Recently, the weather has been cold, i like! Cause can wear jackets and scarves :D
& btw Shi ting bought one of the NUM bags from me! :D Thanks girl! Now i've $100 more to spend :D

Design canteen's barley drink is love.

Shaun showed me this video of Super Junior imitating SNSD's Gee. DAMN HILARIOUS TTM!

This is the original mv, i think the dance is really nice.

New song by SHE. The mv's quite touching :)

Oh and, MY BLOG IS 4 YEARS OLD ALREADY! :D

Hope

Class photo :D

The week before school reopened was spent mainly with clique hanging out at my house. One day it was just darl, we watched S factor and watched Cloudy with the Chance of Meatballs. The movie was okay, not too bad not too good. At first i thought the title meant the movie was about a guy called cloudy who's associated with meatballs. Then after watching the movie, i realised the guy wasn't called cloudy and the main thing wasn't about meatballs. So i suppose the title was about the weather in the movie.

Another day, clique came to my house to slack around, and ordered kfc for dinner. Was great, cause we hadn't had a gathering for damn long already :D

School has reopened! Sian x 100. For this block, i've 2 modules, creative writing 9am-12pm, and applied illustration 12pm-3pm. The lecturers are kind enough to let us have some time for lunch in between. I don't like going to school in the morning peak hour =/ But my timetable's considered not bad already, many people have night classes now, like 6pm-9pm D: Lucky the next few blocks start at 12 or 3 and ends at 6, my favourite timings :D

Creative writing's a cds(cross disciplinary subject), among a few other subjects we get to choose from like jap, italian, public speaking, internet research etc, that the whole TP takes. Creative writing is my second choice, first is jap. Didn't get jap cause i chose it late :( Nvm i'll get to choose again next semester, i'm gonna stay by my comp till the starting time of the selection and choose jap at the first minute i swear!
Anyway, this module is like having english/literature lesson, i like :D The lecturer Paul's an australian, he's quite nice and humorous.

The other module i'm taking is Applied illustration, where we have to design stuffs like editorial illustration, packaging design, book illustration etc. On the second day of class, the we had an excursion at the Singapore Art Museum. :D

And for my first assignment: Magazine layout

My work was really slipshod =/
Nearly died during submission day:
went upstairs to scan picture, went back class to continue work, realise the quality of jpg format isn't as good as tif, went upstairs again to scan again but thumbdrive had problem duno why no space, went back class to delete everything in thumbdrive, went up again to try putting in, still no space, went back class to borrow classmate's thumbdrive, went up again, finally done, go back to class to continue work.
THEN, when printing at the print shop, realise forgot to save in pdf format, walked back to class to convert, walked to print shop, saw a yellow line on my picture probably due to corruption, walked back to class to ask classmates whether they know how to solve the probem, they told me to try test print on A4, walked to printshop to test print and the yellow line was still there, walked back to class to change the pic, walked to printshop and realised not enough money, walked to atm to withdraw, walked to print shop to FINALLY PRINT THE DAMN THING OUT.
THEN, realised need to save soft copies in cd which i forgot to bring, so walked to bookshop to buy cd, saved, went upstairs to hand in everything, went back to class, realise there's something more i haven't handed in, went up again, then finally it's done. Sucks.

Today during creative writing, were we asked to read out a script based on a very singlish conversation of some singaporean aunties selling kueh. The characters' names were like tua soh, li soh, sah soh etc lol. Paul asked us to read it out as singlish as possible, hilarious! The funnier thing was, we had to write a monologue of a character in that script in singlish, then some classmates who were asked to read theirs out included much hokkien swear words, had a great laugh ;D

Paul dismissed us early for us to go for the iCool launch, went with dsc people. iCool's a thermometer created by engine and design school, and given to all TP students free. Check it out at this website http://icooltempbadge.tp.edu.sg/
Met Shaun there and we exchanged books. He lent me The Time Traveler's Wife :D
Watched performance and dance was awesome. Had mass dance, balloons, free ice cream :D

Randoms:
- I've just finished reading this book:

In my opinion, i think it's quite interesting but not awesome cause it lacked in explanations, esp for why those people would go to that place and why sandy was there.

- I'm interested in being a programmer for FO/& TPRAWKS! Anyone going for the interview too?

- I've reopened my blogshop, do check it out! http://instocksgalore.blogspot.com/

- Am recently in love with old chang kee curry puff.

- While doing some research for assignment, i came across this cute site http://learnsomethingeveryday.co.uk/
Everyday it'll have a new fact with the drawing. There's humor in some :D

Whack-a-kitty! It's cute ttm :D

Here's a video of birds of paradise doing their dance rituals, funny lol.

2009-10-13T03:08:00.007+08:00

HK day 3
Took the ferry to Ma Wan Island to visit Noah's Ark. Mum had a long chat with 2 ahmas and they told us lots about HK, places to go and stuff. They're both retired and touring the country, enjoy only!

Ma Wan Island is a really pretty and relaxing place, somewhere nicer than the cities. There's new buildings, parks and attractions to tour.
Christians or those who know about christian stories would know about Noah's Ark. I'm free-thinker, but i know a lot about christian stories, so shall give a summary of the story:

It's about this guy called Noah who was asked by god to build an ark(huge ship). Because during that time, all the people were too sinful and unrepentant, so god wanted to flood the whole world to destroy them. Only Noah and his family were not sinful (like lol) so he built the ark for his family, and a pair of every species of animals (then what about the rest of the animals? i highly doubt they're sinful? lol) boarded it. Then god sent the flood, while those in the ark were safe. After the flood had ended, all those in the ark came out and continued life on earth. (so does it mean we're descendants of noah's family? lol)

Anyway, the inside of the place was full of exhibitions and has some interactive stuff to educate us about noah's ark and saving the earth. There's 3D mini shows too. (mum loves those HAHA) Didn't take photos of the inside though.

Headed to Avenue Of Stars to see see and watch the Symphony of Lights performance, where different buildings would emit light to the music, so it's like the lights dancing to the music. But it's not that awesome luh, the lights at Shanghai are much nicer.
At Avenue of Stars, there's the statue of Bruce Lee and movie-related stuff but i didn't explore. And on the whole stretch of the ground, there are hardened clay(or plaster) of handprints of film celebrities with their names on it. (refer to next photo)
Went causeway bay again to eat and shop.

HK day 4
Went Ocean Park :D The place was so mounatinous that it was like hiking and climbing mountains exploring the place =/ Darn tiring esp with the super sunny weather. Ocean Park features marine creatures, and since it's halloween they have halloween-related stuffs too.

Love this pic :D Pretty bird.

I liked this dragon so much! But it's not for sale DDDDD:

Went back hotel to rest, then mum's cousin brought us to her home for dinner with her son Bruno(my cousin, same birth date as me), her mum who's 90+ years old, and Francky. Her mum's quite poor thing eh, she can't even rmb her family members most of the time. And after we greeted her, she'll keep asking again who we are etc.
Dinner was nice, chatted, they asked me and bruno to play the piano, chat while eating mooncakes :)

HK day 5
Went to bai4 bai4 (can't think of the word, is it pray? offer inscense?) ancestors, mum's cousin followed. It's my first time doing such a thing, and the thing i disliked about it was after that I REEKED OF INSCENSE so much omg. Sprayed lots of perfume after that, lol.

Then ate and shopped at Mongkok. A group of girls asked me where i got my bag from, made me so happy HAHA. Mum was like: "Not bad eh, people asked where you bought your bag, means it was a great buy."

These pearls, when you bite them, they'll burst and a sweet liquid will ooze out, nicey :D

At night, went airport and flew back to S'pore. End of HK trip. :)
Oh ya, and Francky looks like 张敬轩! Lol.

Last week went ktv @ bedok with Peiqi. Sang from 2pm-7pm and the total was only $5 per person! With one free drink some more. So cheap right! Has the latest songs and all. We both knew the same songs so yup, sang our hearts out xD

Yesterday, since dearie and i were craving for pepper lunch, so went amk to eat :D
Walked around and chatted before going back to northpoint. Dearie darl and ed were gonna watch Phobia 2, horror which i don't watch, but they forced me to D: So i watched with them and covered my eyes at most of the scary parts. There're 5 stories in the movie, and i really like the last one, damn hilarious i swear!

- I realise that blogger somehow lowers the quality of photos that i upload, esp those of people inside, wthell =/ Screw blogger!

- My latest record: sleep from 4am-6.30pm, 14hrs!

- I'm still selling the NUM bags and skullcandy headphone!

- Bought this:
Chio right :D

Got this from Disneyland :D

I really like this song lately.

Mundane

HK day 1
Reached HK at noon, took a nap at hotel before meeting Francky my cousin for dinner. Then he brought us around, walked night markets. Some stalls even sell sex toys, open-minded eh. Francky stays near our hotel so we always went back with him if we met for dinner.

The hotel's lift is really nice.

This sauce goes well with chicken.

HK day 2
Went Disneyland! Let the pics do the talking :)

Wish i had a dslr to capture photos of the birds. But nvm i'll be getting one at the end of year or next year! :D

Parade :D

There's this ride whereby we sat on a boat that goes through this place. Because the boat was moving, so most of the pictures i took inside there were damn blur =/

Stitch Encounter was damn fun! :D
A big group of people will enter a room with a screen in front. Stitch will appear on the screen and interact with us! It's like Stitch is really there! It can really see everyone in the room, look directly at certain people and chat with them with much humor. The conversations were damn hilarious! It could also take pictures of the person it's talking to and point to whoever it's refering to. After that a baddie from the show would invade Stitch's spaceship and Stitch has to escape. Then the children sitting in right in front of the screen would have to guide Stitch to the emergency spaceship to help it escape. So the children were like shouting away HAHA.

There's this winnie the pooh ride that's really fun too :D But the ride was too fast and bumpy that i couldn't take proper pictures inside =/

Mickey's orchestra performance in 3D! You know when the objects 'fly out of the screen' due to the 3D effect, almost everyone in the theatre stretched out their hands to try to grab! LOL they all damn happening, haha!

The halloween parade at night!

The train to disneyland is really nice :D

Went causeway bay for dinner with Francky and shopped a little.

Since there're too many photos, other days in HK will be in the following posts.

Randoms:
- Clique, i got souvenirs for you all eh, meet up soon so you can collect!

- Went dhoby ghaut to eat at Just Acia with Peiqi and the food was not bad (Y) What's special about that restaurant is that they have free flow of drinks and ice cream! :D They have a lot of food on the menu to choose from too! Filled our stomachs to the brim. Oh and Norvin was eating there too! He suddenly came and gave me a small flower balloon. Haha.

- Watched Fame with Glenn and i think it's okay, not much plot but was nice watching the performances in the movie. I like the singing guy and kevin! And i lost a bet so i'll have to eat a whole watermelon next time omg.

- I wish singapore has 4 seasons. I specially like winter, cause the temperature would be down which means little perspiration, and we'll get to wear nice winter clothes! Can wear the layered style (which looks really nice), scarves, jackets, more kinds of hats, gloves, even ear muffs and stuff.

These 2 days 3 nights, i've been chionging Devil Beside You! I think the show's awesome eh. Nicer than Why Why Love (same main leads).

Sexaye.

Rainie looks soooooo kawaii:

Her character in the show is super cute too. Love her hairstyle ttm and the winter clothes she wear are super nice!! RAH IF ONLY S'PORE HAS 4 SEASONS!!
Mike's hair and dressing sucks though, lol. Prefer him in other shows. But he's still handsome lah.
In this show they kiss a lot! So many different kinds of real kisses not just the lips touch lips kind lol. One of them i think is real classic, the one where they fell from a bike on the road junction, then lay there and smooch away while cars stopped all around them (Y)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN3Qg0jzX4A

Opening theme song from Why Why Love. Love it! :D Gosh i can't wait to sing all my new fave songs at kbox! Let's go kbox soon kay clique!

2009-09-27T16:24:00.009+08:00

I'M BACK! :D
Hong kong was great :D Shall split the trip into a few posts! This post shall be an overview + some random stuffs first, while i delete, edit and sort my photos.

I like how the focus is on the bubbles :D

HK is full of mountains and hills, everyday is like hiking pls! At the point of time when i realised this point, i was at a busy MTR station and looked around, i didn't see any fat people! Lol. In addition to my point, my relatives i've met there are all slim! They brought us to some places by walking, we said it was tiring, and they said it's nothing much to them! Oh and i think the healthy chinese food in HK is also part of the reason to why hongkongers are slim and fit. Maybe fat people can go there a month or so, i'm sure they'll come back fitter!

Temperature there was around 30++°C in the day, around the same as singapore, which means it's hot there too =/ Somehow i prefer to go to cold countries, where we wouldn't perspire and can wear jackets/scarves, an experience different from the usual hot climate in s'pore.

Everyone there speaks cantonese, which makes me feel like home. I'm not from HK but my parents are, and we all speak canto among the whole family. Hence the feeling of home, since i hardly speak canto to others in s'pore.

I realised their service is good, maybe not as good as taiwan but way better than s'pore! They're warm and have glib tongues.
Their theme parks aren't as good, as beautiful, as big as korea's. The whole of Disneyland could be explored in a day, unlike Lotte World and Everland at korea where one day isn't enough! But definitely way bigger than s'pore's theme parks duh.

Somehow we didn't buy much as compared to previous overseas trips. Maybe my standard has raised, which means i won't have the urge to wanna buy something as easily as before. Or maybe somehow not much caught my eye?

Before boarding the plane to HK, i was afraid i would be bored even with ipod/psp/movies on board. Usually if i go overseas, a book would be the best to keep me entertained. So i bought this book, Deception Point by Dan Brown, cause the cover looks nice. In the end, i didn't even touch my ipod & psp during the whole trip! Only watched one movie on the way to HK, and read all the way on the flight back. Read whenever i was bored and before i slept too.

I can say, THIS BOOK IS FANTASTIC :D An awesome suspense and thriller novel. And i loveee the ending :D Gosh i can't wait for it to appear on the silver screen, i hope it gets filmed into a movie just like The Da Vinci Code & Angels and Demons!
Oh and i think you can learn a lot from Dan Brown's books. Like from The Da Vinci Code, i've learnt about the Louvre, the golden ratio, the holy grail, some christianity etc. From Deception Point, i've learnt about meteorites, some ice and ocean knowledge, some political stuff.

After coming back, i went swimming the next 2 days! :D

Randoms:
- Had dsc meeting last week. And went for dinner at kfc with leslie andy zac joy cassie jannson. They all said i was eating real slow and kept teasing me about it! D: The guys even stared at me and counted how many chews i took to finish chewing a bite of food, LOL.

- An auto door couldn't sense me! I was walking towards the closing door, expecting it to open once i was right in front of it. But it didn't open, lol. So i tried stomping the ground, walked around but it still didn't open. So i tried using my fingers to pry the door open but didn't succeed. Then a couple came and the door opened automatically. LOL.

- Anyone knows how to edit tumblr codes? As in adding profile, archives etc. Need help! I wanna post on tumblr.

- Kosol said i look like snsd's tiffany! Do i?

- We sub comms got the dsc shirt during the meeting :D

& 2 overdue pics.

Anyone of you girls seen these clothes anywhere? :

The pink jacket.

Romper

The white top.

Pink top, under $15.

This wedges, or surprise angle spree.

I've updated the previous post with photos on netball/soccer day, scroll down to see :)

Just one spark starts a fire

2009-09-13T19:34:00.004+08:00

Last week, teachers day. Went back to cchy to watch concert and eat bar chor mee. Glad the drink stall auntie still remembers what each of us always drink :D Watched UP again with sy kaiting jaslin at causeway point, since The Proposal was sold out already D: We cabbed down and the funny driver asked us many IQ questions and i got most correct, heh.

Anyway for the rest of the week, watched Bandslam with darl, was okay only. Had dinner with aloy twice. Watched The Proposal with mum, was awesome. Laughed till i cried man, esp the dancing part. Watched G-force with ruohan, was nice too, cute stuff :D

This week, went shopping with dearie and was fruitful :D Got everything i wanted, super happy. Netball/soccer at school with dsc people and many turned up, goodie :D Played volleyball too. And we played till the lights went out! Didn't even keep track of time. Was jiahui's birthday so had a mini celebration. Then headed opposite school to eat prata. Managed to catch the last 969 bus @ 1145 to yishun with aloy. Shall upload pics on that day after they're uploaded on FB.

Thanks Kite for the above photos!

Rest of the days are spent sleeping in till the evening and nights having insomnia =/
I SERIOUSLY NEED A JOB OR I'LL BECOME A ZOMBIE.

Friday, ate sakae buffet with dearie and sweetie! Actually planned to go sing K but had trouble deciding this and that, so change of plan! Walked alot that day and stuffs. Lazy to elaborate heh. I'm so deprived of exercise that even walking makes me feel healthy already, lol. We ate the buffet for almost 3 hours! (Y) Full ttm. There's something wrong with the quality of the photos after they're uploaded, no idea why =/

This, is the texture of my jeans! Hahah sweetie was like "omg your camera so good i can't stand it!!"

Saturday went lido to watch The Time Traveller's Wife with mum, and it was okay i guess. Quite confusing, about the time travelling thing. So does the male lead ever die? Hmm.

Added photos on the run! Scroll down to view :D

Scanning of the background wasn't very successful, that's why our faces like that LOL.

TDS movie day out @ the grand cathay on monday. Watched G.I Joe :D The show was not bad, kinda deafening too, hah. Thrilling.

100 tickets! I really zoomed in and counted twice LOL.

Went to eat tau huay after that. Alicia thought Aloysius and i are siblings cause she said we look alike?? Lols.

Tuesday, had the Design Gets Physical event at 6.30pm. 30+ people were confirmed guests on FB, but in the end only about 20 turned up! D: And only about half ran, some just sat there to take photos and chat. Lol. Anyway those who ran, ran 2.4 at the tracks. I think my willpower to run has deproved cause i walked for some distance =/ I used to run 2.4 w/o stopping to walk. Now i owe Amber 100 plus and hip hop jelly because i lost to him in the 2.4, expected lah! Bully me only!

Warming up!

Haha funny expressions lor, Amber JK and Vanessa!

Aaron and Edwin

Those who didn't run!

After running, sat down at the track to chat and slack. Then went to loft to play foosball! Teamed with Amber against Aaron and Lijin. My second time playing but won them :D Super surprised with myself, cause i think i tyco only. Then Aaron and Lijin wanted to play 3 rounds to determine the winner and we lost in the end =/ Tsk shouldn't have played 3 rounds. Haha. But was a nice game.

Wednesday, went to the crowbar awards seminar at nyp with Aaron, since we got nothing to do hahah. Jannson and a few other TDS people went too. The seminar's about some design stuff and advertising. Sat at the auditorium and listened to talks by different people for 4 hours! Omg sit till butt pain. Thought there would be an interval in between or something but no! Went amk hub to eat pepper lunch after that.

Oh and i found a job! :DDD Happened to ask Amber for any job lobangs, he asked his workplace's manager whether they're hiring part-timers and yesss they are! :D And it's something i'm kinda looking for, waitress! At Canelé, Shaw. No need interview some more, can start the next day! Lol lucky me :D And i realised Lijin works there too! Just that Amber and Lijin aren't working for now since they have school. Maybe they'll come work during design school holiday which is about 3 weeks later.

Thursday, first day of work. The people there are okay, not very friendly =/ Manager's quite strict. But lucky there's at least one nice person, JR a filipino guy who's doing his training there. He treats me like his little sister, haha :D Taught me a lot too.

Learned a lot within the first day :) Like how to set the table, need to refill water after customers' cups are half empty, need to carry tray with one hand only, how to wipe cutlery more quickly, how to clean up tables, not to lean on anything, need to serve the customer nearer to you first etc.

But i stood for more than 6 hours straight because i didn't dare ask whether i can sit down or rest or what. Backache ah =/ Didn't dare to text much too.

I won a NUM boston bag! :O Participated in the seventeen magazine lucky draw thingy quite long ago because i wanted a sling bag at that time. I didn't expect to win and even forgot about it already! And omg i won it! Gonna claim it soon. Might sell it since i already bought a backpack i really like.

After this week's lucky happenings, i've concluded that Amber's my lucky star! :D Been very lucky after i start chatting with him these few days.

Am currently chionging Fish A Fish. My aquariums :D
