Love Is All Around!

31 January 2010 @ 02:02 am

There must have been a time when you did not consume my mind,

Random Thoughts of the Week:

01. I attended a Networking workshop last Sat. No matter how much they say it depends solely on skill... I think it still boils down to your sincerity. If you're obviously not sincere, no matter how many people you know, you're still not gonna get anywhere!

02. One day, I didn't have any small change to pay for my food, and the stall auntie rejected my $50 note. Fortunately, a VERY KIND girl who was in the queue behind me offered to pay for my food! A stranger saved me from starvation! I feel so blessed. =)

03. I'm already 30 hours into FF12 but I'm only just beginning to love the game! I like Balthier, he has a really sexy accent. =D

04. I'm starting to find my way around Singapore more efficiently now! No more getting lost / calling random people for directions. =P

05. I got a new phone -- HTC Touch 2. It's nothing great but I have a personal policy about not paying more than $200 for a phone, so that was the best I could get within that budget! =P

06. I'm going to be completely broke next month because I'm going to be jobless... until March. So no more buffets till then! =(

07. My beloved Ang has gone off to UK and will only be back in June! And then my Princess Sister is going away in June! =(

08. Even though I'm only taking 4 mods this sem, I feel like I'm taking 10. Why is that? =_="

09. I don't like the weather... it's either freezing or boiling. And the weather reports are never accurate! =(

10. I think my new term in PsySoc is going to be very, very fun. Can't wait! =D

I'm not the next of them, but I am the first of me,

Random Thoughts of the Week:

01. Hoobastank concert was KICK-ASS! I only wish they'd played a little longer! =(

02. I forgot to make any new year resolutions for 2010. Oops.

03. I want to learn how to play a new instrument, though. A Chinese instrument, maybe? =D

04. Having children and raising them looks like extremely tiring work.

05. Therefore I shall just go around playing with my friends' kids, but not have any of my own.

06. My skirt felt tighter today, I think I put on weight this holiday.

07. I didn't have as much me-time as I hoped I would have this holiday. =(

08. Therefore, my 'Books I Wanna Read' list is still as long as ever.

09. I never knew the IKEA meatballs were made of beef AND pork. (Not Buddhist and Muslim-friendly!)

10. Holidays = more time, less income. So I should take more cheap/ long bus rides than ex/ fast train rides!

11. I have a 3-day week next semester. MAYBE I can get started on those books I wanna read...

12. Spalding basketballs with team colours are CHEAPER than the plain ones! Why is that?!

13. After much consideration, I will buy neither a PSP nor a DS, because I don't wish to spend anymore.

14. I think the MRT stations are competing amongst themselves to see who has the best-decorated control station!

Have yourself a merry little christmas,

"Wise" sayings which I think sound more like lame excuses than anything else:

1. All is fair in love and war.

2. I'm only doing this for your own good.

3. I did it because I love you.

4. Someday you'll thank me for this.

5. Rules are meant to be broken.

-----------------------

The first semester of my sophomore year is over!

Surprisingly my grades haven't slipped, but have actually improved! Whee.

I am one step closer to my summa cum laude now. Keep going, woot! :D

That aside, this holiday has been quite fruitful!

Meeting all my dear friends whom I haven't met since forever. :D

(And good news: My dear Pearlene and Charmaine are back woohoo!)

Alright I'm kinda out of things to talk about. Zomg I'm so boring.

Merry Christmas, y'all! :DDD

Come to me now I'll confess all my only dreams,

Couldn't find any food picture to my satisfaction today,

so I decided to post something even better -- Raymond! <3

(Although, I think he hasn't been working out, so maybe he shouldn't unbutton too much lol)

Random Thoughts of the Week:

01. I think I've listened to only 30% of all the music that I have in my iPod. And maybe watched only 60% of the videos?

02. My GPA is going to take a hard hit this semester. Damn UGC! =(

03. I can't wait to watch "14 Blades". Donnie Yen kicks ass again! =D

04. Why are shorts and pants referred to as "a pair" when they're all actually just one piece? 0_0

05. I had a weird dream a few days back and jumped up from my sleep, only to land on my knees. They hurt now. =(

06. I'm 1/5 through my violin course now. Hopefully my parents can stop wearing earplugs soon! =D

07. I've been physically inactive for so long that carrying a few textbooks for half an hour gave me muscleache. T_T

08. I think it's great that more Southeast Asian actors/ actresses are fluent in English nowadays! No more bad Engrish! =D

09. Truffles is turning 7 human years next January. Is it me or is her fur getting whiter? =X

10. Kate Tsui is so hot omg! Apparently she's in 14 Blades too, but I only saw her for 3 seconds in the trailer. =.=

Maybe one day this feeling won't remind me of stuff,

Random Incident @ Coffee Bean

Mom: *pondering which cake to buy*
Salesgirl: What would you like?
Mom: Is there chocolate cake?
Salesgirl: There's our "Chocolate from a Thousand Leaves"...
Dad: Well, can we get a cake with chocolate from only ONE leaf?
Salesgirl: ...WTF?!

*awkward silence*

Mom: ... Okay we'll have one of that..
Me: Oh oh and I want the raspberry cheesecake!
Salesgirl: You can also try our "Buster's Weekly Cheesecake", it's very nice.
Dad: Weekly? Isn't one-week-old cheesecake a bit too old to sell?
Salesgirl: ... DOUBLE WTF?!

Butterflies have knives, they're cutting up my insides,

I've gone back to listening to 80s' and 90s' rock these days...

Cos there just doesn't seem to be any nice new music anymore! =(

All these boybands are popping up all over (it's now Boyband Era Part 2),

but instead of doing just good ol' pop, they insist on doing ELECTRO-POP.

Stop jumping on the electro-pop bandwagon, people! It's already way too full! =(

Well, okay... I guess for new bands, that's an easy way to become popular... =_=

But for those already-established bands that are ALSO going electro-pop...

What are you guys thinking?! Tsktsktsk.

Now it's just a bar fight,

I used to be love drunk
But now I’m hungover

I’ll love you forever
Forever is over

So don’t call me crying
Say hello to goodbye

I LOVE the oxymorons in there! XD

Just like how I adore Fall Out Boy's puns hahaha. XD

Okay anyway, back to life...

I am currently very apprehensive about what is going to happen to me next.

Jenn says it's scary; the way I take on extra stuff and plan so much ahead nowadays.

I can't say I don't find it scary too, but then again...

I've already experienced the consequences of not having a plan at all,

and it's definitely not something I want to go through again.

That's why I kinda feel like I'm living out our Persuasion text right now.

Whenever ordinary people take on new tasks, the first thing they do is look for familiar features.

This in turn triggers their preconceived ideas regarding anything that has those features.

Sounds superficial, but it actually makes life much easier for everyone cos they have to think A LOT less.

That's what I'm doing right now -- acting simply on trigger features alone.

Whenever I encounter something that I think MIGHT disrupt my Plan, I just bolt... without even being sure.

It's sad, because I could be missing out on a whole lot of great stuff,

but these days I don't feel like I have the energy to attend to every single thing anymore.

Zomg I sound so old right now, it's freaking me out hahaha!! Oh well. Goodnight! =)

Every time that you are near, it's a beautiful world,

I've been asked why it is that I avoid watching romance films in the cinema.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a "down with love!" crusader!

I just don't see the value in PAYING to watch romance in the cinema,

when I pretty much already see it for FREE every day in real life.

(Or on StarHub Cable TV, whichever I'm closer to =P)

There's the girl who keeps falling out of love with different guys,

there's the girl who keeps falling in love with the same guy,

there's the girl who wants to find love but can't,

there's the girl who wants to avoid love but can't,

there's the girl who has all sorts of warped ideas about what love is,

and of course.. there's the girl who just doesn't give a damn.

And mind you, these aren't from the movies. They're real!

We usually only see the fourth kind in movies...

And usually always in a very glamorized way. =_="

That's not real, man, that's not real!

I love you forever, but forever is over,

I am neglecting my Livejournal so badly!

Also, I haven't read my Friends page for more than 6 months. Zzz. T_T

This Summer semester has been really crazy shit for me.

From the looks of my new timetable, Fall semester is going to be equally-crazy.

(Mega thanks to Carol for having super-sharp eyes and saving my ass! XD)

The only good news is that we've been promoted from Freshmen to Sophomores. LOL.

But despite the hectic schedule, I'd say my stress level has definitely gone down.

So I've decided, I'm most probably going to join a CCA in my sophomore year! Whee! =D

Let's all drink to FREE EDUCATION! XDDDDD

When you're lost, where do you begin?

I'm so mad cos I messed up my COM488 midterm! >:(

It's just like UGC all over again, except this time it's even worse. GRRR. =_="

I've also come to a logical deduction as to why my rational and emotional sides are always in conflict.

My rational side understands that as I grow (older zomg), my expectations change...

...something that attracts me now may no longer attract me in future, and vice versa.

With this theory in mind, my rational side carefully chooses the things that I commit myself to now,

so as to avoid any ugly seperations of me and my commitments in future.

On the other hand, my emotional side only wants to cater to my current wants,

so it is constantly regretting the things that my rational side passes up. =_="

Talk about split personalities...

On a lighter note, I met some of the 31ers on Friday!

We ate at Katong (zomg the shaved ice shop has closed down already! T_T)

Then shifu, Moo and I crashed Sinyee's Montage.

Nice photos, lots of masking tape and blu-tac, videos of shifu kboxing,

and of course... creepy blu-tac girl. LMAO! Interesting stuff. =D

How can you love someone, but not yourself?

My mother is currently in love with a korean drama called Be Strong, Geum Soon!

I'm not into kdramas, but due to the fact that my mum hogs the TV all the time,

I hardly have any choice but to sit down and watch it with her, if I want to catch any TV at all. T_T

Basically the story's about a young widow who goes through all sorts of hardships,

without once ever complaining or showing disrespect to those unkind to her.

From all perspectives, she's definitely a very admirable girl.. the kind of girl we all think our sons should marry.

Everyone always goes 'aww' when they watch the show... but somehow I always go 'wtf'. =_=

Never thought I'd say this, but for once there exists a kdrama that is actually thought-provoking!

Firstly, how can someone who values respect so much allow others to tread upon her like that?

You respect others and give them way, but where is the respect for yourself?

Secondly, how can someone with so much compassion live with the continual absence of love?

You go through life loving others who don't love you... is that justice to the reciprocal meaning of 'love'?

I think it's really amazing what people put themselves up to...

ZZZ I'm off to bed now! Brain iz tired. LOL. XD

Pride is your best ally when justifying your anger,

I will patiently tolerate people patronizing me... not because what they say is true,

but only because I am tactful enough not to tell them in their faces what cocky bastards they are.

You don't deserve to assume superiority over me, because I know I am better than you in more ways than one.

But there is only so long that I can put up with this condescending talk,

so push me any further and you wil not be liking what is coming to you.

Have any of you guys ever wondered where people get off by putting others down?

Is their own insecurity that great that they need to trample upon others to assure themselves?

I am trying to be as tolerant as I can, but I am reaching my threshold.

But when I finally do blow up and give these people what they deserve,

others will simply judge me for being petty and give me the whole "you're just overreacting" nonsense.

I've NEVER blown my top at anyone my whole life,

but it's getting harder and harder to keep things that way.

What is the use of being 'the good guys' when you end up having to take other people's bullshit?

Don't let anybody tell you that it's wrong if it feels right,

Is it just me, or do all the bands out there now sound THE SAME? 0_0

Powerpop, punk, pop rock, alternative.. all getting repititive omg.

I've gotten so bored of my usual playlist that I've taken to digging out old-school hard rock bands.

That's when I remembered how much I used to love Firehouse..

...and how much I STILL love them now! YEAH BABY!!! XD

I don't care, I want my wedding song to be from them in future! =DDD (*hint hint, Piggy*)

That aside. I just measured my height / weight on a electronic scale at CGH.

My height is 161cm and my weight is 48.7kg.

I was uber shocked, cos srsly... the last time I was below 50kg was uhh 2+ years ago?

So either the scale is real messed up, or boredom has eaten away all my adipose tissue this hols.

Also, according to the scale, my BMI is 18.29kg/m2..

Which apparently puts me in the range of being "prone to nutritional deficiency diseases", wtf?!

That's it, I'm going to have to start going for more buffets. BWAHAHA. =D

Keep a calendar, this way you will always know,

Pride is the force that drives you, but it is often also the cause of your downfall.

Well, we all learn something new everyday! =)

Spring break is already halfway through, but I've hardly gotten anything done.

During schooltime I'm always dying for the holidays to come so I can do stuff,

but once the holidays DO come, I end up doing NOTHING. Ways of a Piggy indeed. =P

Anyway, I've recently gotten addicted to Flaming Butterfly, the show on Ch8, weekdays, 7pm.

I didn't used to like the female lead, but after watching this show I swear I'm in love with her. =P

Today was one of the most beautiful days I've had in years.

Carol / Marlene, Laopo / Yao, Sha, Jenna, Moni and Mag... thank you. =)

(Oh and I had the honour of witnessing Moni smashing a cockroach with a restaurant menu. >_<)

The sem is almost over, just 2 more days of school!

Summer will be spent having lazy days with dearest girlfriends... I'm really looking forward to it! =D

To my horny (pun intended) Buffaloes... don't get too miserable over Finals! =D

To my sexy 31ers... omgzzz uni exams are almost like A Levels all over again! Press on! T_T

To my beloved TJ Guitarists... SYF is on 28 April, keep yourselves freeeeeee! =P

To my lovely Nanyang ladies... anyone going for Homecoming? XD

The way you make me feel will never leave my mind,

I haven't blogged in a month! X(

To all of you who have been missing the Food pics on your Friends Page, here's one!! =P

School has been really dreary for me the past 3 months...

Thankfully, Winter Sem is ending in 3 weeks. Looking forward to it! =)

A good fortnight of holidays before Summer Sem starts. T_T

Nothing much to update on, except that I got a buncha bad blisters on my feet from some evil shoes.

The blisters somehow got inflammed and now my feet are itching / burning like mad. =(

Thus, for the first time, I may be intentionally skipping class tomorrow! =D Whee!

Fall Out Boy - I Don't Care
Their guitars FLASH in sync during the choruses! How cool is that?!

I finally found out today why I REALLY, REALLY don't enjoy CNY. But aside from all that...

I am very thankful to have my brother, and I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world. :)

Also, on a lighter and MUCH BRIGHTER note...

I was fortunate enough to catch the All-American Rejects live on Friday night! WHEE XD

Never ever thought I'd get to see them live. Tyson rocked my stripes off! =D

Even though the gig was ridiculously short, but hey I didn't pay a cent so I shan't complain!
