Free but torturous way to exfoliate!

As usual, woke up late. 
This time, i'm late for for the Student Council's initiation day at Sentosa, the  event organized for freshies who've just joined the council.

My day started with a bad tummyache, even before i opened my eyes!
It hurt like..Hell! Aw! 
Felt like a shrimp as I curl up in bed, hoping that the pain would go away.

If it was mom, she'd probably have nagged about my diet.
But I was camping over at Leonard's and instead of receiving nags from mommy, I got nagged at from him. 
All was good after camping in the toilet for what seemed like an evolution.


On a brighter note, He drove me over to Sentosa, because I was late?
:D
Palawan Beach, on a sunny day, seems like a desert to me. It's hot, extremely sunny, and u feel sort of cooked, the minute u stepped out of the car.......


If it wasn't for the Council commitments, I would not have allowed myself to be under such harsh conditions. 
Sadly, I brave the sizzling weather. 

Sadly, there was a change in location, and I walked like a frigging trekking caveman, hopped up a monorail.

Sitting alone in the monorail feels weird. 
Knowing that this would probably be my last few rides on the monorail, I 
pondered to myself - will I miss this very slow but memorable trademark of Sentosa when it's gone? 

"it's a Sentosa trademark, something that has long been associated with Sentosa and travelling around the island. -- i agree with it too! "singapore would probably tender the entire monorail system to interested companies.. -- yeah like who'll be interested to pay millions to get a thing that has seen better days, and needs lots of scrubbing and cleaning? ( i wonder if they did clean the seats during SARs era?) "that or we'll scrap the monorail" -- we spent so much money on this system, isnt' it a waste to let it go like this? After all that little debate in my head, i've got to my stop. Ficus station (pronounced as fye-cus not Fee-cus, and i wonder why...) 

I got off, looked around and start wondering if i'm still lost.
After a long consultation of the map, and lots of walking under the baking sun, 
I finally saw a very familiar face.
Justin! 


The euphoric feeling left me when I realised that i'll have to walk on further *groan* Walk walk walk, and i saw the rest of the group. 
It was after some major coaxing that I left the comforts of the shade, and joined the others in the games. 


*poor thing*


Played lots of "group bonding" game, which essentially requires alot of physical contact like rolling over many other bodies, and passing toothpaste moustache to your friend in line, getting piggy-backed and eating an apple at the same time... 
Lucky thing was that - whichever grouped I was in, that group usually won. (we were on a constant group rotation - with the theory that we would get higher coverage of "meeting" the newbies.)
Thank god was minimal forfeits - as if being under the scorching sun wasn't bad enough a thing for me.


#spoiltbrat #Iamaluckystar

An afternoon of games barefeeted, my soles were practically cooked.
The coarse sand, the heat - I wonder how the Hindis survived fire walking.
Its contradictory how the sand aids exfoliation, while the heat frm the sun thickens the soles.  
We ended our day at KM8.
It's quite a cool place, painted the entire place white and built a Jacuzzi right next to the bar.

Unfortunately, the Jacuzzi was pretty crowded, and I did not have a go at it. :(

Showered, dressed up and left the island for dinner with the boyfriend's family.I was quite late! 

 
We had dinner, then went back to his house. 

I fell asleep while watchin The Incredible Hulk on HBO. 
Tired. Exhausted. But i was woken up... 
and left with 2 choices


1)sleep on, and he'll come back to get me later, or 
2)send me home. 


for he's heading over to Shing's house to play "let's wax our cars"


Initially, I chose to sleep on, but just as he was about to leave the house, I decided against it, and decided to go home instead. 




Afterall, God knows how long he'll take, and I didn't want to watch the Telly the entire night, so I raced out of the room and opened the door in a hurry to tell him that i changed my mine. 
hee hee Here i am, exhausted but wide awake, sneezing like mad, with a running nose. Looking charred, and exceptionally red on the nose posting this entry.
Quote of the day: Sun Block is good for You! Don't argue with Daphne.


Psst*  Watched The Aviator yesterday. 

All that planes featured are so cool! 
But all that handwashing that Leonardo Dicap did was mentally disturbing!

The new look!

I decided to get my blog a new skin! 
It's like so colorful and all, compared to the old one, though i guess the older skin would be perfect for the Chinese New Year! 


The previous skin was boring me, as i could only play with a few colors.... while, this funky, retro, and colorful skin is much more exciting!
But Da says that ya all would go blind reading with this new skin! hmmpf! i beg to differ! im adding colors into your life alright! It's me! * chuckles*


I had so much problem with the code for this skin, that i thought i'll go blind reading and figuring where the mistakes are. finally, everything went right, and i'm only left with the re- sizing and color scheme of my tag board. Whoo hoo! heehee

I actually blogged yesterday night, but apparently, it didn't come through, as blogspot site was down. I'll try to recall what i've supposedly written to my best. Argh! my mind's blank!

I woke up late for my driving lesson, and thankfully i had my angel to wake me up, and offered to send me over to BBDC. Driving is pretty alright yesterday, had a change in my instructor, so i was a little unused to his style of tutoring, but everything was more or less alright, and uneventful. I managed to get a ride home from Benjamin when i reached Clementi, as i was rushing home to change, to go roller blading with my nerd nerd and his friend Shing.

I passed Benjamin my OB lecture notes in return for the ride home. Leonard came to fetch me in Shing's tuscani! So i got to ride a Tuscani! It's cool and all, but i guess it's a little too crampy for my liking. I'lll still prefer big, huge luxurious cars, if not, the normal sedan would be good.
But if i were to be the one who's driving, coupe would be good! It's nice for the driver, but definitely not nice for the passengers, if u know what i mean..

We went over to ECP to blade the entire afternoon, and the weather was like hot and baking. I think i got cooked by the sun i think. We managed to blade from the Macdonald's carpark, to Fort road, then from there, all the way to the sailing club! It's like the furthest i ever went in East Coast Park on blades.

I Broke my slippers while i was out, and i managed to borrow a pair of Shing's sister's slippers. But her slippers are too big for me. For a while, i was walking around Marina Square funnily, tryin to keep the slippers in place. After some walking, i relented, and went to get a pair of slippers. Ooh, and i got a pair of slippers that cost $5, it kinda looked like the pair of Charles and Keith slippers that Su ann bought. (of course there's the price difference la) Naturally i was pleased to be walking around in a fitting pair of slippers, and a considerably presentable one for that price. *grinz*

went over to Marina Square for dinner with Leonard, Shing, and danny, then went home. When i reached home, Mandy messaged to ask if Leonard and i will be free to meet up with the rest, for Blading at ECP today! Haha... thought exhausted, we went ahead with blading today.

We went even further today, going over to as far as the Chalet that was meant for the NSF people apparently. It's quite a posh place for a chalet and it's somewhere near Tanah Merah! That's how far we bladed today. We had quite a few stops though. We stopped for lunch at the hawker center, at 7eleven for a drink after our very long trip from the chalet place, and followed by dinner at Turquoise, this bistro place that belonged to uncle G.K Soh's daughter. Everyone agreed that the ambience is good, and the food taste pretty ok, and it isn't expensive.

Blading over at East Coast Park is harzardous! It's swamped with families, there's the joggers, the bladers and the cyclist. They're everywhere, and there is like no proper ettiquettes observed amongst the users. I've managed to cursed a number of times at cyclist who hogged the road, riding at such slow speed that they're actually not moving in a straight line, but in a drunken manner..left..right..left.. right.

Hallo! it's not like it's their grandmama's road, and it's damn hazardous for us bladers loh! inconsiderate! Next came the little kid who did a U-turn without checking for blindspot! I'll simply excuse the toddler's crimes as ignorance.

Then there was the ultimate biatch! I was blading, and the path was already congested badly, this gang of little secondary school girls were like standing around, blocking the entire path. I was like one of the first few ones ahead of the rest, ( abt a group of 10 of us were blading together), and i was like " wha lau..must you stand in the center of the road"... Being fellow bladers, i thought it's nice if i warn them of the dangers of lurking around in the center of the road on a public holiday..i had the very intention of their safety, as well as my friends. After all, the collision of 15 people wouldn't be a funny joke. I sped on, only to hear from my friends that the biatch called me a bitch. Furious i was, i did not turned back, instead i turned and screamed: " You BIatch! "

Luckily for me, Leonard did some justice for me. He turned around and ask the little biatch " what did you say?" and she went quiet. I'll say that if i personally overheard what she called me, i'll have slapped her hard on the face. And knowing my temper and all, she'll probably not lived to see tomorrow.

To think that i warned that little good-for-nothing-slut that a herd of us are like coming, it's best not to stand around, lest they get hurt, and i got this! I think she ought drown in the nearby Koi pond!

Nevertheless, i'm pretty sure obnoxious girls like her will get her little punishment that she deserves one of these days.. and i'm still hoping she'll drown in the Koi pond. Too bad it ain't the piranha pond. I'll love it, and savour every moment of it. ( Warning never step on Daphne's tail as mentioned before. )

After dinner, we moved on to the Airport to fetch Joshua. He went to China, and had a good time! Seems like China isn't such a bad place from what everyone says. But i'm still not quite convinced about going there, due to several reasons, such as bad toilet conditions.


i fancy having my own bit of privacy when i pee, unlike the guys.... , and i always have this perception that most people from China are pretty rude. Not that im being discriminating, but most of those that i've met in Singapore are pretty obnoxious and rude. They speak loudly and have no manners etc. I would have to say that not all of them are like this, but the ones that i've seen and observed behaved that way. It's probably gotta do with the civilisation that they've lived in i supposed. Having no doors and all... boo!

i came home to find mommy and da watching the show "pretty woman". It's quite a good show, too bad, i missed the first part of it. Apparently there's this cheesy serial show going on called "The days of our lives". Like any sam pad girl, though i know it's cheesy, soppy love stories, im still pretty ingrigued by it.

Funny thing about me is, though i hardly watch the television, but once i switch it on, i'm glued to it, with the exception of lousy or trashy shows that isn't worth watching. I think End of days is still fine with me.

This is gonna be one busy week for me, having to meet up with Selene, to pass her a gift that i've gotten for her birthday, and to do a little catching up. She was supposed to meet me for zouk on wednesday, but somehow she couldn't make it, and i ended up asleep after dinner anyway. Then there is yet another short appointment over at Chinatown Telok Ayer, before having a BBQ dinner tomorrow, with Leonard's XBox friends.

There's Initiation day over at Sentosa for the Newly appointed Councilors, and it's gonna be a full day event. Hope it's gonna turn out fun, or it's gonna be a total waste of time.
Monday's spa day for Zoe and i. It's a long awaited appointment, as neither of us could find time to go out together until monday!

Funny, i've always wondered why i'm always busy, despite not doing anything! *hahaha* know you know why i call myself a busy bummerina! hiak hiak!


Yes i know i'm supposed to make full use of my time, so that i won't grow to regret when i get older.. But i'm hopelesss at making my life useful and meaningful, but i do know that i live my life to it's max, so that i would not regret.
Guess the quote of the day would be:
Live your life like you'll never live again tomorrow, so that you would not regret not living to the fullest.

im fine and dandy!

I had a relatively good day today! 
Woke up early to meet mommy for the Gamut Sale 
(She took half day leave, to go for this sale! 'coz i asked her to?!? haha ). 
We Had lunch at the Congress, Suntec Mall, and managed to buy abt 9 pieces for a total of like $89 bucks ( I had this additional 10% discount thingie going on =p ). 
Not exactly dirt cheap, but cheap enough la. 


*heehee*



Bought stuff like tee-shirts, 2 wallets, 2 pairs of shoes, a pair of pants, a working shirt for my sis ( coz the girl just started her internship with SPH..a slacker job leh...."i want!" )


I went over to VNC to get shoes too...that + 2 pairs of new shoe! 
Yay!
Saw a Mango top that i like, and i absolutely have the intention to get it one of theses days....... coz i've spent enough already today.


This shopping trip has improved my relationship with mommy.
I guess its my fault for neglecting her.
Being too caught up with life, school and hiding from her, so that she would not nag. 



I didn't spend much time talking to her, or to see how her work is and everything, so today was more like a catching up/heart to heart talk day than anything else.



Came home exhausted, and fell asleep right after dinner! 
Somehow, unable to sleep to the next day - here I am, sitting in front of my thinkpad posting an entry.



Oh, I'm fine and all... so you guys don't have to worry about my palpitation problem, coz Kangwei was like asking me about it... i guess i must have scared you all with all that warbled description. Thankfully, it doesn't always happen, but i'll just keep in mind that i'll go visit a specialist one day.... 
(dunno when it'll be la... if clinics are like as interesting as shopping sale, i'll do it immediately! )



Just finished the remaining quarter of cake that's left over from my Bro's birthday party.
Heehee.. Yum!


To think about it, i think i ate like half a kilogram of cake this week. 
Consumed like a quarter the other day, and today it's another quarter! so.... that's half a cake! wha! must control diet liao.... can't quite afford to gain weight! 
But I love cakes, and nothing beats the Secret Recipe's banana chocolate cake. 
It's a must eat yummy!! 



I just remembered that i've got driving later...... Argh... scary scary... but i'll still gotta do it. Was supposed to meet Leonard for Breakfast, then go swimming and laze around in the sun, but the driving schedule screwed up the lazy day.. boo! 


Guess i'll swim after driving then...but it wouldn't quite be the same! =(



Quote of the day....
Only when you love yourself, can you find someone who'll love you..




*Psst, the RU Mag ( Council/Editorial team's Magazine) is coming out soon! I'm so excited!

Palpitating Daphne

Whenever my heart launches into its palpitation state, it makes me sick.
It's like my heart is on Techno beats mode, and often feels like its on the verge of popping out of my mouth.
Nauseous to the max + see star type of faint.



I don't even know what causes it, but it always starts with no warning. 
Usually begins with a skip of a heart beat, then my heart would race! 




It kinda stop plaguing me for over a year already, and just suddenly, the Palpitations returned. 


I missed out on all the fun that my fellow edits peep were having at Gallery Hotel! boo!!



On Leonard's suggestion that I take slow deep breathes, to calm the body.
I tried. Didnt work at all.


Leonard felt for my pulse on my wrist, and he asked if I was shaking my leg! 
My palpitations were that bad.



Scary and unbelievable isn't it? I saw a doctor about it before, they took some ECG test, blood test regarding this problem, but they found no problem with me. The only thing they would recommend to me, is to consume this medication that would slow your heart rate. ( i supposed it's for people who are heart attack prone, or already suffering from an attack?)

Obviously, i didn't take the medication la, coz it doesn't happen to me everyday..




The last time it happened was during Design school days. 
 When I raced up a flight of stairs ( late for classes) when in mid jump, the palpitation problem started. 


So sickening!
Unlike the usual 1-2 hours of palpitation.
The recurrence lasted for about 12 hours.
I thought I was going to die!

What a day!

It started out as a perfectly normal saturday.. 
Falling asleep at 7in the morning.


No, im not crazy, but merely refreshed from my shower and a sudden inspiration to tidy the house, specially since the brother would be having a party later in the afternoon.



Started with my room first.
It's like a pig sty, with loads of clothes clean and dirty strewn all over the room. 
The soiled clothings are like carpet for my room, while the clean ones pile up in heaps like a castle.



Bags came next. they are like everywhere! Storage is such a problem for my bags! 
There's so many bags, and so little space! 
Boo.
I took advise from Leonard's friend, this girl who had like 300 bags. 
She said she stored her little bags in the larger ones, and so on so forth, utilising the space properly.


I tried, and the cupboard looks alot neater, without all the bags sticking out all over the shop.
Did some arithmatics. My current bag count is at 43! 
A measely amount, compared to the 300 bags friend. 
Damn!



I got rid of my mess of dirty clothes, piling them into the laundry basket, then hung up all the remaining ones that weren't worn, tidied my very messy accessories box, sort out my earrings, rings, watch hair clips blahblahblah.... then decided.. it's time for bed.

Exhausted i was, but i soon woke up at abt 1.30 to change, and get out of the house. 


Bro's friends were due at 2pm for the party, and sis invited her friends over for multiple rounds of majong.


I like the house quiet and serene.
Hate the sound of ma jong, when I am asleep. 
It makes me grumpy, so I left home, went out to Suntec, had lunch at Bugis, hung out over at the C.A.N Cafe.



The drinks there is costly, for a very run down cafe 7 bucks for a jar of tea!
( guess you guys might have realised that i'm not exactly crazy about cramply furnished places with furnitures that look like they've seen better days). 


We ordered escagots, and it wasn't fresh. 
Tasted yucky -  but no choice, left it to rot. Such waste! 
*phoey*
It's a pretty cool place to be in, aside for their price.



We went over to some Bar/Pub located opposite the Raffles hotel to watch Football. Man United vs Liverpool. It wasn't a very exciting match, coz i thought Liverpool wasn't performing very impressively, and Man united was like..boring! no more Beckham to watch! boo...But still i support Liverpool, coz my baby does! haha


It's funni to see how he and Winston squabble good naturedly about their preference over the football clubs.
Funny!



After soccer, Winston, Heidi, Leonard and I headed over to East Coast to rollerblade as planned! 
It's a cool and windy night, great for blading. 
I finally got to wear my new reversible surf shorts out for blading! Heidi said it matches my blades very well.. 
*grins*



After the "stroll" along East Coast Park, we headed over the Geylang for a round of very late dinner. Frog Leg porridge! 
*slurp*
It's yummy and spicy, but Leonard didn't fancy eating the toads, so he decided to starve himself, despite us telling him to either try some, or order something to fill his poor empty tummy.



The night ended with.... Leonard breaking a bad piece of news to me...... I bladed onto cat poo! Argh! 
My poor nike blades! Stinky and yucky, and they kinda dirtied the car boot too! 


I recalled smelling this stench of very funky smell after supper. 
He had to clean up my blades, his car boot, and whatever mess there was.

I feel so guilty, though i didn't realise that i stepped on Poo!! boo!


Received invitation to attend sale preview of BCBG, Island Shop, FCUK, blah blah
So whoever's interested.. let me know la.. we can go along together, and im entitled to an additional 10% off all items cept for the 90% discount ones... la la la...
( i guess i get over guilt pretty easily.. *oops*)



Well, while I was blading, i was pondering about Love, unrequited love, and eventually searching for the one. Imagine how bad it feels, to love a person, only to know that the person doesn't feel quite the same as you do.


It hurts like hell to keep emotions to yourself, afraid of rejection, being mocked at, or just simply the uncertainty ahead of the friendship.



But it sure happens in life. Many a times, I find myself acting silly in front of the one I loved*, getting sawdust in my mouth, when i'm supposed to be talking, or getting giggly silly for absolutely no reason. It's stupid, it makes u blind, yet there's nothing u can do to avoid it.



I tell you, When love hits you, you either welcome it with open arms, or risk having a shattered heart.


There is no definition or guide book to tell you how to deflect it, or to tell you who's your perfect match, and where to go, in search of it. In reality, there would never be a perfect match made for you.



It's totally up to you to accept a person for who they are, and to be able to look pass the surface, dwelling deeper down into the simplicities of life, just thinking about how happy you are, sitting next to the person, without having to speak a single word, enjoying just the company of the special one's presence.



As far as i'm concerned, i'm totally happy with my life for now, having found someone whom i'm happy with. Yet, it was never that easy to locate the right one. It took me quite sometime to understand some concept.



1) Even if i've met the right person to settle down, if i'm not satisfied with the way your life is, i'll never have a fairy tale ending.



2) Timing plays a crucial role too. If you've met the right one too early, you'll probably end up being unready to settle down, therefore screwing up fairy tale plan.



3) To meet the right one, yet denying the fact that you've met the right one, that would be like a direct ticket to misery, saying good bye to fairy tale endings.



Someone once told me that you'll only have 3 chances to meet the right one. Fate was such that you'll meet somehow, somewhere. But it's totally up to you to grab the chance. Once you lose the opportunity, it'll be gone forever, there's no such thing as turning back. -- you'll live a life of regrets, blaming everyone but yourself.

Yet someone else also said that it's up to you to create the opportunity, and everyone is the master of their own destiny. You choose your own Path, you choose the road. -- You gotta consider every path really carefully, coz once you've decided on it, there's no turning back. Even if you do, things would never quite be the same.



Don't quite know which saying is more logical, but i'll like to think about the lessons behind them..that it is, there's no room for regrets.

Ha ha.. all this sprouting is getting alittle too philosopical.


But all im saying to my dear friends (the 2 of u.. not telling who.. ) Sometimes you'll be too blind to see beyond the way things are for now.

Sometimes life might not always be a bed of roses. What seem so perfect for you now, will not seem so perfect in future. It's like a dress. It may be fantastic, when u first bought it. But over the years, the dress would not fit you as well as it used to anymore, or be in fashion anymore.



*If all else fails, and u didn't manage to get the dress, cheer up and be strong. It probably means that you're meant to get another dress which would suit you better, only that i know how disappointing it'll be for you, if you don't get it now....



well i wish everyone would just stop being blind, and just be happy. I do admit that i'm still pretty blind at times, but hey! im learning, cut me some slack!

a somewhat normal day..

Went to Toy "R" us to get the little bro his birthday present. 
It's his birthday today! 
Chose a Tamagochi for him. 



It cost like nearly $40! Lady told me it was a limited edition Tamagochi.
It'd better be special.
I don't remember mine being so expensive. 



I saw one over at Carrefour yesterday, for only $19.90, it did not look like a pet.
So i didnt get the cheapo one. Bleh


Post shopping, we met up with Leonard's friends for dinner at Hard Rock.
Dinner was pretty enjoyable.
Ordered Chicken Fajitas, and it came in huge portions.


However, compared to the ones I've had at China Jump (located at Chijmes), I'll prefer the later.


But I do have to give to HRC about their portion.
I see no need for supper or food hunt as I blog.

Hello, im a road hazard!

Went driving today. 
The first lesson I had in months. 
My instructor exclaimed aloud, 
"Last time i saw you, was in september! Where had you disappeared to?" 
Haha that's exactly how long I've abandoned driving. Funnily, my instructor Charles brought me out to the streets to start, despite my rusty-ness! 
Road hazard coming up!



It was a bad start. 
The school changed my car model, from a Honda EXI to a Honda City. 
The City is longer and wider...weird dimensions...and the feel of the car is totally different. 


It's got a nicer interior tho, and the engine is way quieter.
Fancy Schmoozy everything is nice, new and smooth...... but the Clutch feels different.
Therefore new biting point and lots of Stalling.



Being only the second time that im allowed out on the road, today's lesson is totally jinxed! I recalled my first time out on the road, wasn't such a "stalling" experience. 
Yes, I stalled once, when I reached the entrance of BBDC! 


I stalled like a million times today! 
So stressful, and embarrassing! 
Imagine stalling on the road, time and time again! 
Stalled at the traffic light, just when the lights turn green. 
By the time I got my act together, the lights turned red!


OMG!
**psst: The lights over at this particular place at bukit batok changes really fast! 
Not lying to save myself.
It's the absolute truth!



Luckily I wasn't the only "L" plate around there's like one in front of me, and one behind.
I managed to stall the car plenty of times, and the vehicle in front of me did too ok! 



Charles say that I gotta practise alot on braking...coz I love to braking really hard.
Hello Motion sickness!


Hope Charles bought himself some good insurance plan. 
Stressful job he's got there, dealing with violent brakers like me.
Haha!



I also got confused with the signals... coz japanese cars is on the right side, while continental is on the left of something like that. But, im getting better at it already. *smiles*
Had no problem changing up gear, but sure got a hell of a problem changing down gear.
I hate driving - too much rules to adhere to.
But the freedom is fun too.


I do not like looking at mirrors to admire the road. 
I only like it when I'm staring at my own reflection.


Seems like i'll have a long waaayyy to go, before im qualified enough to take my exams, and my PDL is expiring in March! 
Oops.


On other news, I caught the movie - London Voodoo after driving lessons.
Such a disturbing show. 
Lots of blood, gore, psychopath story lines, and voodoo stuff. 
I don't fancy bloody, violent movies! 


*turns pale*

Came home and pampered my poor face. 
Applied Estee Lauder deep cleansing mask > Clinique pore reducer lotion> moisturiser. 


Skin recovered more or less already, but not miraculously fast la. 
Been attempting to take good care of skin. 
Like, sleep more, drink more water, use better products.
Call me vain, but aesthetics is important to me.


I'm an art student.
It's all about visual!

I'm a firm believer of first impression, even though we're always taught not be be too superficial - It speaks alot of a person, and the attitute they have in life. 


Afterall, personal branding is extremely important for business, and school and everything la. In fact, Visual sells alot better than any other form of communication. I don't know if it's proven, but visual does sell better in my opinion.



Say, do you know that advertisers only have 3 seconds to get the attention of a consumer?
So if it catches your eye, u'll see it. If it's dull and boring... u'll just blend in. 
La la..


Sometimes, i think it's good to be eye catching. Yet at times, it's better to just blend in with the crowd, and keep a low profile. 
Can't decide which is better, but i'll still prefer to be known as the girl with immaculate style. Nothing loud, but just a little touch of difference. The guys wouldn't appreciate it i guess..
But neh-ver-mind! =)

skinless

It's only been a week of school, and im already bored out of my skin.
It's like a been there, done that kind of feeling. 
Only that it's a different lecturer.
I am one those very bored kids who's turning out to be a delinquent.
I'm bored with lessons. I wanna go on to other subjects, but i can't. I'm like stuck with stuff that i kinda know, but not in deep details.



To force myself to love the subject, it is imposible.
To score well in it, it's unthinkable. I just want to get on with it, and move on.

It's like having to deal with the death of a loved one, not once, but twice.
You dread it, but you can't stop it from happening it again. 

Bah!



No one died. I've just started on some Danielle Steel book, and it has someone dying in it, therefore the dark mood.



I feel mentally unchallenged, and extremely restless.
Being in different classes with my friends, a naggy suspicious mommy, accusing me of not studying, or attending classes. 


I have such great supportive mom.


I'm hiding home, coz of my bad complexion now. 
It's textured like the surface of the moon. 
Bumpy and rough.


Should not have listened to the recommendations of SuAnn.
I'm going back to my Lancome moisturizer.
Expensive or not, I dont care!

Different skin types la.



i feel like skinning my face.. 
Please let my complexion to be as before! 
I promise I'll be diligent, and not attempt to be stingy ever!



Moisturiser is like the most vital thing for the skin! you can skim on anything but that!
and im absolutley remorseful for heeding stupid advises abt how good some cheap moisturiser can be! if it cost 3bucks, ur face is gonna look like 3 bucks! To hell with 3 bucks complexion! Haha!



Need to dress up. Heading out for dinner.
KThxBye!

a Blah day..

School reopens.
I'm relieved to be done with the pleasantries of meeting new faces.
Glad to blend in with my new classmates ( I think)
and hohoho, I'm not the only retainee around. (I'm sorry for my wicked thoughts)


The visiting Rmit lecturer is from Russia or french. Very boring and blur.  
She speaks vith a weird accent. Definitely not aussie.
Pronounces her "th" with an "S" instead. 

"Ssthings"
weird - shrugs
Does not know how to operate the power point 
skipping through slides and complaining that it doesn't always work properly, until Raymond pointed out to her that all she needa do, is to use the cursor arrow! 
*face palm*.
Yeah, and after that, her finger refuses to leave the arrows. It's as though as she's afraid that she'll not remember which button to press to move the slides. 
I wonder how she lectures in Melbourne.
Should learn to keep up with technology la, if not retire and go be a grandma.


I know it's mean and all, but personally, i always feel that it's vital that a lecturer is able to be impressive. 
If not, how would his students be able to trust and learn earnestly? 
Yes, no one's perfect, but the least one could try to maintain a front, and attempt to impress. So stuff like operating a computer, and using a powerpoint is bread and butter. 
It's basic knowledge lah, dey!


The new classmates seem to think that I club alot. 
I've since cut down on the clubbing activities. 
Take tonight for example, it's wed/thur morning, and i'm already home blogging.
If i were out clubbing, i wouldn't set foot in here til like what?! 
4 am in the morning?
Its just the impression I guess.


Sigh....I've been a good girl so far. 
Someone should acknowledge it

*ps i really did not go clubbing today. I went roller blading instead! hahah but im home early! See! See! no one believes! =(
