The Hidden Chapters

LAND OF GRIDS.

2011-08-20T17:56:00.006+08:00

first day in berlin abt 2 months back.
my grad trip with kev mave and mel. pretty photos taken w kev's daemon. might just be the first thing i ll buy for myself when i get a proper job + proper pay.
just had to include aicher's work to prove tt i was listening in class. german designers. the master of the grids, which i ❤.

working 1000 – 1900 is draining. need to get used to it and still go out on weekdays before i get sucked into years of no play.

DONT MOVE.

2011-08-17T23:37:00.003+08:00

red dot. was helping muff alongside fatboy and chineseboy.
great time connecting w the inner nerd. esp w ppl who share the joy of carrying nintendo jetpacks and ringing bicycle bells.

i rmbr complaining to muff tt we havent got common friends to hang ard w. but i guess this has changed a little for now.

great shots by fatboy. its time to work on a new card for mm.

I LOVE..

2011-08-02T13:53:00.003+08:00

Mattia Castiglioni. for showing tt being minimalistic doesnt necessarily mean boring design. for playing with shapes and cutting them up till they are pleasing to the eye.

tuesdays were i-love-these-guys days in shillington. and sweet old sass inspired me to put this down today. she has always been great in school. and no doubt a great designer.

not sure if i can keep the tuesday habit. cause there really is no time to get inspired here.

UNSPOKEN RULES

2011-07-18T23:13:00.002+08:00

first real life plant from muff. and its stolen from a box.

weekdays have just been crap hours mouse clicking and screen staring. but all the learning and limited ed flower nespresso makes up for it. + working on 2screens today for the first time in my life, was pretty awesome.

MORNINGS

2011-05-16T17:46:00.000+08:00

was watching some vid on jo's blog and came across this after.
well worth 3:36 x 4 mins of my life.

absolutely pretty and calming. esp after a nightmare.

i dreamt that a group of designers were using a red marker, marking out everything tt is bad in my portfolio. i kept asking what was wrong but they gave me this wtf face. i started crying. woke up w tears in my eyes and started sobbing. called muff and cried like a kid. i can hear him trying to hide his laughter hahahahah. called mum and she literally laughed out loud and said i was being silly.

well. i guess tt really wld be the worst nightmare when i find out my portfolio is useless. thinking abt it still makes me quite depressed.

3rd day back home.

GROUNDED FOUNDATIONS.

2011-05-01T17:56:00.005+08:00

a shoot i helped jer with. i made sure they were faceless, so tt i breathed a little easier and wont cringe when i see it.
life is fine for now. but i can imagine myself being fucking messed up this week, preparing 10 different briefs tt wld be portfolio material. which sounds impossible.
i can feel the stress just by typing whats going to happen.

anyway. sth i was working on today.
student work. post card thing for a family fest org by "we are what we do". their pretty cool idea of what cld happen if the human race does a small, simple action a day to make the world a better plc.

i know theres sth quite wrong abt it. just need to find the right shade of pastel.

SOUNDS

2011-04-24T20:34:00.005+08:00

awesome weather
awesome camberwell goods
awesome authenticfuckingoldschool sony radio + 2speakers i found for clara's 21st
awesome bargaining on C's part
awesome arms of jer's to carry it back to the city
awesome new kitty
awesome doodling on clara's card

awesome sunday.

and for the sake of lking at a pretty list.
i got again:
2 vintage bags (starc + oroton)
1 black mesh slip thing
1 black blazer with beaded fringe
1 colourful batwing vintage dress which i regret.
(srsly wtf was i thinking when i got a dress with colour.)

C says i always get ripped off at the mkt.
i think im simply. a pushover.

easter eggs i made on friday!
real eggshells. cracked open to reveal real chocolates. and the bigwhiterabbit candy.
yum.

21 DEGREES. MOSTLY SUNNY.

2011-04-17T15:40:00.008+08:00

saturday afternoon. finally got chri out to my fav beach.
sat under the great jap wave. with all time reliable brown blanket.

sunday. and not looking fwd to tmr.
learnt today that certain friendships are really worth nth sometimes. you would think you were having fun. but its gone now.

thing on loop in my brain. prob cause i listened to it last night and hit repeat on my com since i woke up.

Mother Ganga take me higher
You wake up, you're on fire

Light a candle in the shadows
A different glow for every window

Oh oh oh..
There's nothing in the water
There's nothing in the water
There's nothing in the water

There's nothing in the water we can't fight

We get high

pls bring easter soon.

MURMUR + ASIAN NIGHT

2011-04-10T19:29:00.003+08:00

friday drinks at murmur w classmates + lecturers/tutors(i srsly dont know what i shld call them. other than meave & peter.) week 9 is starting tmr, and all will end soon :(
on a side note, really grateful that i followed my unreliable instincts to join them. things are getting clearer by the day.

saturday was
HOTPOT + BEER + KONIYAKU JELLY + MONODEALGEEKS + PJS = ASIAN NIGHT.
hahahahahahahaahhaha. laughing to myself in the living room as i spell a**** night. wtf??!?!!? ok.
but anyway. its my last chance to say it.
just doesnt make sense to have geeky asian nights in sg when you are surrounded by asians.

oh love.

A MINOR

2011-04-04T19:12:00.003+08:00

(clearer photos stolen from another tall J)

how i spent my sunday. and how i usually spend $.
majority of my $ is thrown blindlessly into sales/thrifting/coffee/groceries. and i did all tt within half a day.
=retrostar vintage clothing sale + brunch with J&J + queen vic.

got myself a black slip, another shirt to cut, oversized suede vest and a dress. san shi wu kuai qian. and can i say the dress is like the girliest flowerliest thing i own now.

last 5 weeks.

31 DAYS AND A RIP OFF.

2011-04-02T10:19:00.004+08:00

dug up some old photos. cut the levis501 i got from camberwell. something tall ppl must do, cause commercial shorts are just too fucking mini-ly short.

and a photo of my favouritest couch for now. although it hurts my back. spend hours during the weekend on it. huddled in blankets and pillows. with the mug, muesli bars, teddies, ext hard drive, mac, phone. esp when C needs some privacy in her room.

exactly 31 days since i wrote here. another 5weeks and i ll be gone from my second home :'(

time to record memories. and get a bigger bag to lug my camera ard.

WIRED UP

2011-03-02T18:26:00.004+08:00

documented the moment when we felt like we are bigbrainedproblemsolvingintelligent mammals.
landlord cancelled our electricity by mistake, so we powered up the dark hse from a single power point.
1 fridge/1 microwave/3 laptops/4 lamps/3 phone chargers/1 modem/1 printer.
reliance on swimming electrons.
bah.

the earth just kept turning. the sun still rose as usual the next day.
and we got a scary+threatening note at the door.

wasnt all that bad.

HOMELESS

2011-02-14T20:12:00.003+08:00

to go or not to go.
reviews seem to be pretty shit though. other than G or muff, who else wld waste this kind of $ w me to watch such things in melb.

arrived yesterday. no sim card. no bb.
went to visit new plc, no space, no bed, no internet. so im camping at franklin for a week. franklin is like completely empty except for furnishings. no bedsheets, no phone to call back sg. but at least i ve still got the web here. she is no longer the hse i lived in 1mth back :'(
feels faraway from both homes = double the homesickness.
pretty whiny now. but i will stop once i fin complaining abt it over dinner w jerome.

wonder how many days of 8am - 5pm classes i d last without falling sick or missing my alarm.

ALEXIS THE GREAT

2011-02-08T23:52:00.007+08:00

media launch.
had fun throwing balls, bouncing balls and digging balls. muff just had to make our trip there worth it hahahah. got my nails painted free too. just in time for cny :D
still dont understand why they had to include the fibre constipation thing in the bag.
crowd wasnt as great as the bm launch. i can almost say tt the 3 i went with were dressed better than more than half the ppl. felt like i was swimming in a pool of blogshoppers. not like i did v well myself though, had a terrible morning =shittyshittywear.

its a pretty gd mag for sg i guess. probably the only thing i d look at when im back. tts how my life would be without russh and oyster.
and the absence of $$.

thinking of C and the new apartment again. wonder if i ll be having a hard time trying to keep C's room tidy and un-littered w my clothes. SURE FAIL.

OUR UNIFORM.

2011-02-02T10:31:00.006+08:00

cropped my T///tank. and in a room that smells nice.
G and i are probably the only ones who own like 4+ T///tanks.

it was a comforting day. with whispering wind and a half hidden sun. finally did what we planned. photos snapped by G.
met up w muff and jerome twds the end of the day. wonder what will happen when we re back in melb. which is only 10 days away.

somehow feels a little different this time. like im going back to my second hm. cant bear to leave, but lking fwd to familiar places and tastes.

TOUCHY TOUCH TOUCH.

2011-01-29T22:37:00.004+08:00

gave up looking for a bag.
inspired by the feathery dress i saw somewhere. went to chinatown. got ripped off by the aunty. got some safety pins and stuck it tog on the black tote i ve been carrying for past 3wks.

not bad. been stroked by several ppl.
guess the feathers are just too hard to resist.

PERMED-MANENT NOT

2011-01-22T12:14:00.004+08:00

i must have been crazy.
shaved my hair last yr, thought i wanted to try sth new. told M i wanted to perm my hair, but im such a wuss. so fion did a temp one for me to see the effect.
got weird stares.
kinda like it. but im sure dad wld think this is worse than shaving.

my hair is so fucking straight. it went away in 4hrs :(

i am now a hanis rider. whatever tt means. hahahah
cant wait for the shoot w g ltr.
mad rush + another new face ++++ = T///

SEE THROUGH NOT

2011-01-13T21:58:00.004+08:00

went prawnmee tt day. and visited G at bm.
used to blame the situation. but i have convinced myself tt im not grabbing hold onto things fast enough.

fussing over visa again :( hope my trip down to the embassy tmr morning wld give me some answers.

BRIGHTON-ED

2011-01-05T21:17:00.005+08:00

still uploading pics from melb. i ve got a sad sad life in sg.
wore tt tsubi to chinatown the other day. and got looks by all the jigopeks. pointings and gang stares. srsly. arent they like ah gongs to other kids my age alr. or was it cause i ve got long legs and wearing short shorts make me look like a slut. and i just nvr knew till im back here.

been having a bad week. dressing disasters. feel like staying hm all day. lost the courage to do some stuff. cant wait for shillington to start.

FLOATING LIONS.

2010-12-26T17:21:00.003+08:00

some random shots from brighton train stn.

second day in sg. and lethargic. always happens in the first week i guess.
have to stop the nappings right after food.
oh and food. 5mths of accumulated cravings.
this is what i had in 2 days:
chickenricex2/appum/indianrojak/beachroadprawnmee/cheecheongfun

i need bcm in the list asap.
and start doing something productive.

ALL NATURAL

2010-12-19T17:48:00.004+08:00

my NZ trip. fucking tiring although i was just surrounded by lakes/trees/springs/rivers/sea/glowworms/food = burgerfuel+movenpick
somehow i always look like crap when i travel.
(note to self: nvr bring 2.5 outfits for a 6 day trip.)

found the person who makes me cry, every single time i meet her. think even mum was surprised.
wonder how we re related in our past lives.

been packing the whole day.
have got only 60kg, really difficult to decide what to throw :(
especially with mum nagging and 3years of accumulated trash i want to keeeep.

SWEAR

2010-12-10T22:01:00.003+08:00

i wish they wld have a disc again. and M cld wear them out more often.
called G yesterday. it was nice :)

22.

2010-12-03T22:22:00.003+08:00

since my bday, i ve been out every. single. day.
last minute gdbyes and flyoffs. franklin really is at its messiest. its like a fucking transit terminal. havent had time to myself. which i believe is messing w my hormones, cause i keep getting these homesickness and emo crap.
(eg. just left jo and clara after lion's before midnight :( but being at hm and typing now feels so good)

anyway. i really had fun on tues.
it was a mini birthday/moving out party. clara made a melon cake from scratch cause muff mentioned our fav ice cream is melona :D

company of awesome friends + awesome christmaslightsboughtatbigW lit balcony = fucking awesome.

i miss tuesday alr.

BLUE DAYS

2010-11-22T19:09:00.004+08:00

blue.
:(

SMALL PEOPLE

2010-11-16T15:00:00.004+08:00

back lanes. and the little people. we spent the whole afternoon walking in the city. taking random turns i dont know of.
its interesting when you compare the ppl here and back hm. arts in sg seem to be a flaunty affair. and in melb its the norm. its communal.

theres this unfamiliar sharing thing going on.

5WEEKS APART.

2010-11-14T21:39:00.004+08:00

sheer maxi tt G sent me via post for upcoming launch. (huge surprise cause i havent been rcving anything for a long time. guess things just dont happen when you re gone for awhile.)

absolutely g.o.r.g.e.o.u.s. had to wear it asap. so camberwell was a gd excuse. scored vintageleatherhighwaistshorts (lady actually recognised me)
couple of belts
green velvet pants (dont know what to do w it yet)
had a hotdog
magnation for spook and iloveyou
sensory lab for latte + mocha
made kimchi pancakes for dinner

hmmmmm.

HAWKFULLY YOURS.

2010-11-10T08:39:00.005+08:00

FIRST AND ONLY PAPER IS OVER.
last exam paper of my entire life. i think.

been crashing palmerston, converted 5 MM within 3 nights + manly-nised a vainpot. house7's toilet is like a hidden salon now. HKO!

CAPC is such a burden. one more essay to go before i prance ard the room.

GROWN OUT OF TRACE.

2010-11-01T19:49:00.004+08:00

i kinda wish i can shave again. but i promised dad tt i would grow my hair long for grad. though its growing a little too slow for dec.
getting quite sick of my shapeless hair and its fugly growing stages.

need more audace regan. to tide me over.

LIVING ON KLEENEX

2010-10-28T20:00:00.003+08:00

credits: sewmanstore

i ve been plagued by non-existent internet at my place which is driving me nuts/throat inflammation/fever that comes and go.
crashing over at N's. drinking fish soup for the past 2 days in hope of recovery :(
she s been real nice though. making me some sort of liang cha thing from the packet every 2-3 hours when i wake up to pee. plus i think i used up her brand new box of kleenex.

i hate times like this. not the sickness, but when tpg fucks up and decided not to bless me with godsent internet. and everything is put to a halt.

anyway. was looking at some jap fashion week stuff (which no one on twitter im following was raving abt at all. zero. is it cause its asian? i dont get it.)
not tt im crazy abt it. but somehow matohu caught my eye. maybe its the feverish state tt im in. but these unpretentious awkward things. really is soothing to the eye.

BUY OR DIE

2010-10-22T20:27:00.003+08:00

my last ever ksubi sale.
scored myself a pair of highwaisted black skinnies (which fits better than my BDG pair i think), highwaisted shorts, denim jac. with faux leather fringe.
i love.

decided tt i had to document the process, place and denim.
afterall its a yearly tradition. which im going to miss.
its really quite amusing how ppl (whodontlookliketheywereeverawakeintheday)wake up on that day every year, be there at 10am religiously, to pay respects to the denim.

was more fun the last 2 years though.
w a queue tt stretches 2 blocks long/loud music that shld be banned in the morning/half awake half drunk people lighting ciggies and chatting in their skinnies/breaking the record of the most number of ray bans spotted in a room/huge misplaced bouncer guy at the entrance/the only time i ever change in a communal setting. its like 20 girls in lingerie crammed in a room made of cardboxes trying to squeeze into their denims. (yea. i saw some girl in a zebra-print bra fall over today.)/people with white plastic bags streaming out of the warehouse/school girls who shld be in school/

awwww. i ll so miss that.

and look what i found on the label of my denim jac, creators of our denim trying to make us feel good abt prc related matters:

if i were human i'd be made in heaven.
if i were an animal i'd be made in africa.

if i were this thing i'd be MADE IN CHINA.

its amusing how everything since 40 years ago is still so applicable now. or maybe he creates stuff before his time.
and i actually like the colours, which feels quite different for me.

wish shillington would work out. so tt i can create stuff like this :(
been trying to find loop holes and ways to extend my visa till may, doesnt sound promising though.

EADWEARD MUYBRIDGE

2010-10-07T20:39:00.005+08:00

credits: twin

Eadweard Muybridge. some important guy who pioneered photog in movement more than 100 yrs ago. he takes photos of nude humans/animals doing movement to study how they move etc.
its really cool to see the sequential frames. black and white.
but after 10min or so of looking at his photos, i think its kind of sick.

like pretty. but still sick.
and psychotic.

FURLESS

2010-10-03T20:47:00.004+08:00

outfit i took abt a month back. N always says i look like a bird when i wear this. hahahah.
have been refraining from buying any furs by telling myself this is my last winter.
so in JC's words. this is the closest i get to owning a 'furryfurry' :(

well. winter was long over. apparently its spring. daylight savings is back on. 4 days ago, i was in thermals. today its so fucking warm it felt like summer.

think i shld org the last balcony hotpot once the weather decides to change its mind. hmmmm.

SLEEP INS

2010-10-01T20:09:00.003+08:00

credits: ohjamie

theres this thing i feel abt melb. like M said, aussies tend to add a laid back element in everything they do. whether its 7seeds, the tiny art gallery next to my place, or fashion shoots like these.
makes me feel like i'd miss the freedom i have here, when i leave for home.

things happen and dont happen for a reason. im just not working hard enough. i feel like huzhou-the-cat. who nvr understood why that flashing light cannot be caught.

SCREENS

2010-09-28T06:58:00.003+08:00

or a beginning.

MUFF MUFF

2010-09-25T20:00:00.006+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUFFYN LIULIU!

MADE HIM A NAMECARD.
i know i shldnt do tt for 2yrs straight :( but i saw how he kept writing his number at the back of the current T card. plus now tt mmohawk is doing well, he shld have his own card with MM's logo.
think the logo is kinda out of place. but i know he d like it there.

yepperzzzzz. XOXO.

SKINNY DIP

2010-09-24T18:45:00.002+08:00

been getting paint all over my hands for the past 3days. but not as sexy as the girl from wf :(
screenprinting is too tiring. i dont know how ppl do it for 30years. plus im so messy with paint and ink.

rose is really nice though. last day of mark tmr. im sad.

JAMIE TO JAMIE

2010-09-22T20:15:00.003+08:00

talk between 2 jamies.
weird how jamie and jamie have the same eye. but its always different.

tiring 3 days. 2 more days of studio textiles.
hope i dont end up splashing water into ppl's eyes/flicking paint all over the place/smudging ink again tmr :(

have i alr complained how i cant see colour. its such a burden these days.

AFTERMATH

2010-09-16T09:02:00.003+08:00

NICE SMELLING AIR.

2010-09-06T18:49:00.005+08:00

credits: tfs

i always imagined my first perfume wld be a chanel. i swore to myself tt one day, when i actually earn my own $$, when i know im successful/working and doing things that i want in the industry/able to pay my own bills, i would walk into a perfume shop and get my first chanel.
sounds fucking superficial i know. hahahahah. but im nvr going to own a perfume till then. a promise i made to myself. so if i smell nice, its more prob deodorant, some one attacked me w perfume, or some free sample with a mag.

lola is gd too actually. i like the bottle! but i think its for older women. maybe i shld buy it for mum. bah. droolingggg. going craycray over the photos. im sure i can just stare at the last 2 photos blankly for an hr.

been a gd 3 days. its been awhile since i ve received praises really. and i pretty much work better with praises. got compliments by 3angmohs on my sat outfit, and for colouring (i felt like a happy kindergarten kid).
then i made muff's present today. excitement which im putting in ALOT of effort to contain. im keeping my fingers crossed tt it would turn out alright.

PURPLE DINOSAUR.

2010-09-04T22:58:00.003+08:00

look at his fucking long eyelashes. i still cant get mine to grow with eyelash tonic D:

this is in response to G's post.
to further convert ppl with inner mohawk identities and spread the word on hair tatts.
(maybe also with a secret intention of helping my bf get more customers = earn more $$ = better bday present in nov.)

yes muff just made barney cool. basically, this is only possible with his hair. (helloooooo?) ok. maybe his chunky shoes too.
and if someone can self cut, you can trust his blades.

if you feed on self expression like T/// and MM. and just need an extreme cut to satisfy your needs. hair tatts/mohawks/undercut/bowlcut/weirdkoreanhairthings you name it. the only 3 bloggers on T.com has alr gotten their cuts. wheres yours.

was toying ard w it and i did the most retarded thing :( i picked the black and white grainy art filter thing as my FIRST experiment. and EVERYTHING IN COLOUR KIND OF SUCKED AFTER TT :( :( :(

im colourblind. i cant picture nice things in colour.
1) was supposed to decide the colour of a design i doodled. and wtf. i cld only see it in black.
2) YL entered my toilet and was like 'why are your clothes all black'.
3) i spent half an hr digging through my clothes looking for my cardigan. and cldnt find it among the dark mass.

signs signs signssssssss. im praying for the day i can see greys and nudes like G.

anyway. i ve got no photoshop skills. or photography skills for tt matter. so photos are unedited. untouched corners of my room.

just completed my mkting assignment on diesel. its kind of weird how it feels good to write about gen y. like all these buzz mkting and crazy communication, still amazes me sometimes when i think about it.
been pretty down lately, thinking how i might fail in life. but these diesel ads kind of made me happy. esp "Stupid might fail. Smart doesnt even try."

read somewhere yest, tt destiny is just an excuse to wait for sth to happen.

so jamie goh. quit whining. and start doing something.

ok. i srsly know nuts abt cameras. i just need one to get started. spent like half hr or so talking to JC abt the olympus pen (and she made me read up on someone from uh. cheesyland????).
asked greg abt it and although he is a professional photographer he dont know what it is. maybe THE PEN is only flushing through asia and not down under.

i need something tt snaps by 16th sept. arghhhhhhh.

think its my google settings. australian designers keep popping up on my screen lately. and they are v much what my eyes love.
mark says aus is nvr the trend setter. but you ll nvr know. you ll nvr know.

2010-08-17T19:45:00.004+08:00

some kind of top thing i found at the basement. was on a ridiculous sale and wld be totally stupid if i didnt get it. love the cutting. simple and subtle.
love clothes tt takes a second look to make sure you re seeing things right.
got the necklace from bkk w G. MSR. whooots.

finally got my working visa. failed to get the job at pancake parlour (if they call me im so going to reject them after seeing how C have to memorise the whole fucking menu + prices + abbreviations). now onto L. which i doubt i ll ever get from the lack of experience. fingers cramped from crossing them too much :(

doodling a bit lately. but nth concrete. kind of depressing.

2010-08-10T20:32:00.002+08:00

been raining the whole day.
fought the cold with 2 cups of coffee, oversized yellow thing, thermals, tiny diamond shaped stockings and muff's Dr M. (keeps my toes dry even with like 34321478 puddles.)

(image credits: TSS)

had a mini "field-trip" thing for school today, and we visited The Social Studio on Smith st. Its sort of like a workshop place/shop that uses excess materials from the fashion industry and reconstruct them into clothes. So during its process, jobs are created for young refugees and the profit goes into training and employment of more refugees who are struggling with life in melb.

what really caught my attention wasnt the concept (havent we heard this like a million times already). it really is the whole image tt they are portraying. the interior, the design, the people. if i wasnt listening to grace, i would have thought tt this was just like any other boutique along smith st. no shabby looking, cheap clothes kind of non-profit business. this is serious shit.

you dont enter the place with the intention to purchase anything out of sympathy. they take pride in their design, and you purchase because you actually like it.

AND THIS IS LIKE THE DREAM SHOP G AND I WILL HAVE IN THE FUTURE.
SHOP FRONT + WORK STUDIO + CAFE.
ANYONE WHO WISH TO RIP THIS BRILLIANT IDEA OF OURS, PLS FUCK OFF THANKS.
omg. i wish i can rob them now.

first photo taken off their site, the rest taken with my bb.

2010-08-02T09:02:00.003+08:00

failed attempts to clean up my rm. so i woke up in a mess, went to the mkt with just a knitted pull over and shorts. didnt even rmbr to brush my teeth. stupid things tt happen when the market is 30steps away from your doorstep.

going to be cooking for C and i this week, so its going to be steamed fish allllll theeee wayyy. somehow i just cant get the same taste as the one mum cooks in sg though. think its the soy sauce. bu zhi dao. and i had to fucking gut the fish myself, cause the fishmonger guy refused to do it for me.

been pretty boring lately. even the hse party we went was bleah. maybe i shld get a job again, or just sign up for more short courses.

2010-07-30T16:46:00.003+08:00

went out w Jc and yiling.
and feeling nauseous from yesterday night. i can still taste it at the back of my throat.

first ever outfit post.
sorry if i havent got a pretty face.
sweater thrifted from camberwell. the green + blue caught my eye, reminds me of rugby socks.

2010-07-25T14:00:00.002+08:00

and so it was kev's bday. gave all 4 of us a treat at bh.

leaving for melb again tmr. i ll have to make full use of this last sem. in exchange for ALL the stuff im missing out here.

2010-07-21T14:02:00.002+08:00

first post in 6mths.
completed my second last semester.
pretty bad grades but oh well.
finally went to camberwell, and have since swore to go there every month. franklin looks like a mini junk yard now. (i did transfer half the junk back to sg though.)

everything is pretty much the same except maybe muff shaved a tiny bit of my hair+dad freaking out. ♥ my dramaqueen dad.

5 more days and i ll be leaving home for winter.

2010-01-29T17:36:00.007+08:00

this is what i ve been having.
take aways.
and i think im looking at my weekend too. have got mkting assignment to rush.

i like buying from CY.
feels like i walked into big bang theory. cause sheldon has to have his cashew chicken from szechuan palace. with this packaging. :)

after doing laundry today, i realised i ve been buying clothes tt have to be
HANDWASHED.
COLD.
wtf. when will i get to wear them :(
i dont rmbr handwashing any clothes i have :(

is summer over already? it feels like fall.

2010-01-21T21:42:00.005+08:00

this song made me happy enough to want to blog.
extremely tempted to buy all their songs. cause my internet is so fucking slow. the player on myspace keeps stopping and its irritating me. so youtube is on repeat now.

i ve got her hair + mole. but not anything else :(
i want her eyes :(

But if you think you need some lovin..oooooo. that's fine. ♥

feeling better. whole lot better from last weekend.
quite amused w myself really.

this is the first time i was left alone by myself for so long. and the first time i truly felt the need for humanly company, desperately.
isolation is used as a form of torture in prisons. just didnt know it was happening to me. and i finally knew what mich was saying. like how she would cry for no reason at all. i can be reading my tb, stare into blank space and cry. nap, cry. russh, cry. bathe, cry. until dad called.

cant wait for summer sch to be over. cause tt means ppl will start coming back, and i ll be happy again.

2010-01-15T19:24:00.003+08:00

i dont know what took me so long.
to realise that i am homesick after 2 whole weeks.

just feel like shutting out everything.
like be uncontactable. then i realised i didnt have to. cause im here during summer when everyone else is back home. so there really is no one ard.

2009-12-19T23:28:00.003+08:00

bahhhhhhh. first roll of film was quite a disappointment.
everything was too dark dark dark.
so maybe the golden half aint for indoors if i ve got no flash. but it cant be tt dark can it?
i actually thought it might be the shop's fault. or the camera. or the film?
but anyways. i ll only know from the second roll. making sure its fucking bright before i snap.

well. the only visible ones were taken at some underpass w muff.

its the 19th today.
exactly 2 weeks/14days/336hrs/20160min/1209600s
to the end of my hols.
still got lots of things i want to do. but might just be left undone again.

been going in and out of the hospital lately.
just made me realize how unpredictable life can be. dont think im even living the life i want.

DIM GAIIIII?

2009-12-14T17:37:00.004+08:00

MY. CHOPPED. HAIR.

still trying to get used to it.
aunties say i look better. and im not sure if tts gd or bad.
muff says short hair suits me better.
but sometimes i dont feel as feminine anymore.
i dont really have any regrets. just dont feel v attached to the haircut.
feel like shaving part of it. and muff wants to do it for me.

2009-12-13T10:22:00.003+08:00

What a bunch of balloons can do to humans.

2009-12-05T01:17:00.006+08:00

YES. IT WAS MY BDAY.
if you have rcved our mailer..

'Since J just got back from down under,
heres a little pretty sth for YOUR down under.

Along the lines of dangerfield, in celebration of J's 21st bday.
~~yes i know im fucking old.~~ '

i did type out the last sentence. but decided that there shld be alot of xmm reading the mailer. so i shld be a nice djj. and type politely. hahahah

okae. my friends. take a good good GOOD look at the following photo.

cause tts the very last photo i took before i chopped off my hair.

now.

i look like a little boy -.-

dont ask me how it happened. cause it was all a blur. all i know right now is.
i love hate my hair. i look like a chao ah lian from some angle. so im getting quite uncomfortable. need to go get another cut soon. or muff is going to go crazy w my constant complaints and insecurities.

and so today. i gave muff a little surprise. and bought a pair of tics to broadway beng (yea. w my f-ahlian hair. i did blend into the theme.)

I. CANT RMBR WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME I LAUGHED SO MUCH WITHIN 2HRS.
LIKE SRSLY.

muff can be my witness.
it is absolutely absolutely enjoyable. or maybe i was in a gd mood.
no idea.

but his english subtitles is enough to make me chuckle to myself on the bus like a retard for the next few days. and he redid the sorry sorry sorry song thing by super junior DAMN FFFFFUNNY!!! and he was singing this hokkien song and he suddenly said 'techno version!' and did the retarded-ah-beng-zouk-thing and went 'ohh-oh! ohh-oh!' i was literally hitting muff's arm laughing like a siao za bor. hahahahahah.

everything is pretty perfect today. except for hair. have to think of sth to do w it before more ppl see me spotting ugly hair. ZZZZ.

2009-11-26T22:14:00.004+08:00

okae. the past 2 days = worst days of my life in aussie.

had my last two papers. cost management and property.
had high fever.
had swollen tonsils (like the size of 2 cherry tomatoes! - doc. he just had to make it sound optimistic didnt he.)
had to be classified as 'severe' under special consideration.
had myself crying over the phone with my lecturer. like wtf. shldnt have called him totally. i feel like a total asiandork+wuss+crazypersontryingtoavoidmypapers.
had only 1 pear. and 1 bowl of wonton noodles.
had TERRIBLE SLEEP. hate. hate disturbed sleep.
had the chance to see how a flat tummy deprived of food looks like. (actually looks pretty good. i wish i ve got a smaller appetite now.)
had to study the whole semester of property valuation within erm. 5 hours.
and i didnt even attend a single tutorial the whole sem. fuck i hate this fever. without it i would have like 10 hours or something.
had saliva tt i couldnt swallow.
had penicillin. (they are like miracle pills. i wish i can stock them up.)
had scary purple nails and trembling like crazy during cost mgmt. which made me decide to go to the doc.

rambling right off my head. cant think straight for now.
legs are like jelllllllllllll-ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

sleep. i. need.

2009-11-22T20:43:00.003+08:00

6 days to home.

less than a week moreeeeeeee.
which explains why i cant focus on my last two papers.
and also the over reading from law. my brain is now happily immune from any form of revision.

been raining for 2 days. and its really cold and gloomy now.
this means:
1) no sun to wake me up
2) hungry like 234548721 of the time
3) great weather for napping
4) bad for mugging.

anyways. thrifted a suitcase for G.
or rather. for T. cause she s probably only going to use it for fleas.
it isnt as vintagey or retroey as i wanted it to be though.
to G: still beats carrying winny the poohs china bags ard right?

and no one is going to guess the price.
even with the strap breaking apart, its still effing cheap.
makes me laugh in my dreams.

waiting to spot a light blue vintage luggage bag. like the one i saw in frankie.
will i ever be tt lucky?

2009-11-20T20:06:00.003+08:00

woke up this morning to bb's tweet
'RIP Daul Kim'

and i was like. what kind of sick joke is this?
scrolled down. and saw more tweets. many w the same msg.

this cant be can it? i was just flipping through russh to look at her photos just eight hrs ago.
just eight hrs ago, i was listening to the song she posted on her blog.

dont know why i felt upset. when i dont know her personally.
maybe its cause i ve been reading her blog almost everyday?
or maybe. its cause her photo is on the pin board in front of me.
which is like. in my face.
some sort of attachment i got myself into.

now i look at tt photo and i dont know what to think of it.

i thought she represented some sort of strength.
just something in her. i had to pin her up beside my goals.
hope she didnt kill herself.
cause it doesnt sound as strong as i made her out to be.

2009-11-14T20:42:00.002+08:00

14 days to home.
OH.MY.GOD.
just look at how little i read.
and how much i have to read within the next 3 days.

im so dead.
having a panic attack now.

breathe. jamie breathe.

2009-11-12T11:21:00.007+08:00

16 days to home.

heart ached when dad said sorry just now for raising his voice.
i sort of choked. cause i was the one who made him worry.
im such a un-filial un-filial daughter.
dad is just so very fragile. which probably explains why mom wanted to murder me for breaking his heart.

was telling N last night how my dad thinks of everything.
how early in his 40s he is alr preparing for ting and my life if he happen to pass away. he thinks so much, in such detail and extent tt N cried, cause she was just so touched.
srsly. i have nvr heard of any other dads doing things he did.

like how can a person be so simple minded and care so much for his family?
its just incredible.

i cld tell isabe was on the verge of tearing up too. and i was just heartbroken from the convo i had w dad.

ting and i. we are both v homely kids. its just the way we are brought up. and probably no one can really understand why i wld give up anything and everything for them to be happy. and not be upset. maybe N understands. hahaha. looking at how she cried from what i said.

on a lighter note.
im currently working on this..
secret project.
i hope it all works out.

wish i cld shit lightbulbs every day. and be this excited.

11/11/09
Happy Pocky day!

Almost forgot abt it till N reminded me.
but we bought pepero instead. cause japanese pocky is fucking expensive. $3.90 compared to $0.99 pepero.

so to my dear friends. im sry i cant give you the real thing. cause you re either mugging. or in a faraway land called singapore.
heres a virtual one though

been a emo 2 days.
i really love my dad. and i know he loves me too.
how did this become so exaggerated.

i wish i had more hours in a day. and not cstly facing the same problems.

melb is having the longest november heat wave in 80 yrs.
need to hide in law lib tmr before day starts and leave after sunset.
like a fvampire.

JUST ENDED MY FINANCE PAPERRRRRRRR!
RAHAHAHHAHAA.

phew. feels so good.
had a nightmare last night. i found out i was sitting at the wrong seat right before the paper started. and i had to go home and find my seat number. WOKE UP IN SHOCK.

but nvm.
I FINISHED MY FINANCE PAPERRRRR!
feels good to dump a thick stack of notes into the back of the shelf.

was so happy. i rewarded myself with some well deserved web browsing!
and my ice cold vita500 is gd in this hot weather.

omg. im really slacking. like youtubing wondergirl's adv on vita500.
HAHAHA. okae. but nvm. just for today.

blog hoppinggg.
was looking at dane's blog.
and i so love her hair.

and now i think my hair is B.O.R.I.N.G.

so what if.
what if.
what if.
what if i cut my hair like hers too?

muff told me to clip my hair for awhile before i do anything irrational.
but i sort of concluded it looks alright on a normal/geek/play day.
dad would flip if i do it. hahahahah. and another thing i have to complain is tt my hair is too flat.
maybe i ll ask muff to cut. or the gary guy.
or i ll settle w sth less extreme like maja ivarsson's tt dane got on her blog.

though i think dad will still flip.
and think im taking drugs.

okae. i think i shld go state library look for N and study for the next paper.

tearful start to my morning.

i thought it was just a sweet vid. until half way through, i was like. fuck i know i read the ending somewhere :( i knew it was going to be sad but i still watched.
double sadness.

read the book when i was a little girl. but nvr the "animation".
wonders of the cyber world.

written, illustrated AND spoken by Shel Silverstein.

was working on T and listening to the radio.
WRONG TIME TO TURN IT ON.

advertisement: you feeling romantic? call me now on ryan's romantic requests (in ryan's romantic dreamy voice. CMI.)

R: hello mike
M: good day, how are you feeling today ryan?
R: feeling great, feeling great. is there someone you want to say hello to?
M: i would like to say hello to laura
blahblahblah
R: how long have you been together?
M: 4.5 yrs
(falling aslp.)
R: tell me abt the moment when your eyes first met. the feeling tt went through your body.
(WHAT???? wide awake and laughing.)
M: i saw her one day when #$@#$%^mumbling i cant understand@#2#% and my friend asked me 'you okay?' and i replied 'yea im alright'
R: lovely story of you laura and johnny walker you have there. what song would you like to request tonight?
M: 'stick w you' by pussycat dolls
(wtf.)

advertisement: you feeling romantic? call me now on ryan's romantic requests

R: hello johnson, hows your day been?
Jn: actually its been good and i had a fight w my gf
R: its not gd to have fights with your girlfriend isnt it? tell me what was your quarrel abt?
Jn: HAHAHAHAHA (crazy laughing) UHM. i tried to bring the kids out ---
(laugh quite psychotic. scared me abit)
R: unfortunately we lost johnson. he was probably having too much fun. with johnny walker. some kids just have too much fun, and spoil the day. what a pity, what a pity.
here is 'sexual healing' that johnson was supposed to dedicate. gdnight.

SEXUAL HEALING? HAHAHAHAHAHAAH.
i wonder if johnson cut himself off or the DJ cut him off. but listening to the way ryan speaks. i wldnt be surprised if he gets pranked or dissed every night.

okae. life is boring for now. i cant believe im laughing to nova in my pathetic matchbox 10 floors away from the grd. and craving fries like a maccas-addict for 2 nights in a row. and have a table covered in finance words and T's inventory papers.

on a side note.
imisskurt. he didnt have much screen time on glee today except for the part he threw a slushie on his own face cause of finn.

Kurt: “It’s called taking one for the team. Now get out of here, and take some time to think if any of your friends on the football team would have done that for you.”

after finn leaves in shock,

Kurt: “Someone get me to a day spa. STAT!”

hahahah. he is so cute, funny and cleverrrrrrrrr.
and omg. i found a vids dedicated to all the slushies so far.
ofcourse theres kurt taking the hit. in his pretty raincoat!

slushie overdose. i hope they will stop it alr. its getting boring tt everyone gets slushied -.-

slping time. shall wake up at 8am to mug.

25 days to home.

when fashion meets music!

theres this weird awkwardness that i love abt the song and the mv.
and of course, Jean-Paul Gaultier at the beginning was pretty cute huh. though i didnt know who he was till i saw this vid.

YOU DONT KNOW WHO JEAN PAUL GAULTIER IS?? i dont. sryy. i know i ve got to familiarise myself w designers and stuff. but yea. i ll take my time for now.

lovelovelove the outfits in the mv.
the vid is taken in Gaultier's couture hse in paris. N-I-C-E

did i alr mention how much i love her hairrrrrr?

the mv was to promote his new Ma Dame fragrance.
so i guess this whole image, feel and fashion was directed by him.

found his recent collection, spring 2010.

and i must say, tt this man. is really cool.
was just browsing some other collections in bed last night. collections of ppl whose names i dont know. (but some maybe, chanel, chloe, louis vuitton if i dont know them by now, you can just kill me) and i was going like. wow. pretty. gorgeous. glamorous. nice.
ZZZzzz. fell asleep.

but this is REALLY REALLY.
quite REFRESHING.

or maybe i was falling aslp last night.
but theres so much to look at --
FOREVERYSINGLEOUTFIT!

just look at that.
hat.shoes.patterns.shoulders.stockings.cuffs.cuts.texture.
lots of details, stuffed in a single outfit.

those i browsed last night were quite repetitive.
but this. IS DEFINITELY NOT.
found myself drooling all over my itouch. and excited to flick my finger to see the next image. srsly.

why didnt i view his collection before on my itouch?
i guess his name just doesnt sound interesting enough.

WHO. IN THE WORLD.
HAVE GIRLFRIENDS.
WHO MAKES
MACAROOOOOOOOOOOOOOONS?

hohoho. apparently. I DO.

and she makes fortune cookies and cupcakes too.

pardon me for the bad photog and editing.

well. C bakes and cook when she s stressed.
i. on the other hand, wld put any edible thing in my jaws if i could, when stressed.
LUCKY ME :D

and she is another artsy fartsy friend.
(correction. another GOOD-LOOKING-artsy-fartsy friend. darn. why do i have so many gd looking friends D: )
okae to prove my point, tts her beside me, second from left.
i rmbr reading her tweet abt publishing some book, and i found it on her blog. pretty cool huh.

for the past week, i met a few friends who reminded me of my dream. especially teng. i was surprised by how similar we are. she reminded me how important my dreams were, and how much its worth fighting for.

i sort of figured another reason why i was afraid. in a way, im afraid tt i have over glamourised my own dream. jamie may not have the talent afterall. and if i do go for art sch and only realised then, that i have no talent in it, i'd probably have a mental breakdown or sth.

but from teng, i learnt tt everything is worth a try. hopefully i can take a short course at rmit during the semester next yr and see how it goes.

also, im considering mkting. and tt means i have to be back for summer.

2009-10-25T21:03:00.010+08:00

went for pmsxzomg on friday.
was having mixed feelings tt night, cause i was like SRSLY excited.
but SRSLY pissed w the layout of the place. the "runway" was the shortest i have encountered, in terms of time and length.
everyone just crowded around the area, and if it werent cause i was tall, i wouldnt have been able to see a single shit.

for like the first 5min or so, i cld only see the models' hair. and i started to panic.
like omg, i came all the way here to see hair? NOOOOO. this is not happening.
squeezed my way through a few bored guys (like whytf are you occupying gd positions when you re not interested in the clothes? but i figured they were there w their pretty girlfriends or they ve got a friend modeling. rarrrrr.) and was finally able to see half their bodies.
basically, i could only see the outfits through my camera :(

AND. tts not the worst part. i dragged 8 other friends to suffer w me.
they are not tt tall, and not willing to squeeze through the crowd. so i was dying from not-being-able-to-see-a-single-shit-and-boring-my-friends-out-cause-they-cant-see-anything.
i felt vvvvvvvvvvvv bad. cause they were grumpy and hungry the whole night.

well. at least the few glimpse was pretty exciting for me.
my brain was going like. ahhhh! lace! ahhhh! mesh! ahhhh! sexy! ahhhh! blazer!

lots to complain, and lots to love.

i couldnt capture everything. cause my arm was tired, and view was blocked D:
but my fav has got to be this:

sad i cldnt capture the front, but its a vest. love the colour, and cut.
its something tt i would definitely buy if i see it. reminds me v much of my missed vest tt i left back home. and the polka dot vest tt i have yet to put on, ALSO in sg. upset. how did i manage to leave without them???

i adore pms. cause

PMS
= clothes G and I like
= clothes we will wear

since we only bring stuff into Trooops stuff we would wear,

Trooops = clothes we bring in = clothes we will wear

sub eqn 1 into eqn 2,
PMS = clothes we will wear = Trooops!

well. its not tt simple. its abt this spirit and goal we are heading twds. so yea.

here are the hosts! dj ash, and the 2 brilliant girls.
which i wasnt able to capture $#@!$%$. okae. i shall quit whining abt it.

AND PLS GIVE ME A MOMENT TO SHOW OFF MY NAILS.
i love apple.
although rey said it looks scary on me. but what does he know right?
heres our "entry stamp" tt says 'IBLOWGOATS'.
no idea why. but its pretty cute luh.
nicky was asking what it meant, but i ignored her, to preserve her pretty mind.

and.
i am officially camera shy.
think its cause i have been snapping friends for so many nights now.
when JC tried to snap me, i ll want to hide.
looks like my photo count on fb will be stagnant for awhile.

today marks the start of the last week of the semester.
i shall try my v best not to miss any lectures and tutes. although it has been proven to be impossible for the past 11weeks.

okae. i know im pretty slow into this.
but ever since i saw mel in the jade nail polish, i was determined to get one!
to spend 30+ aud on a chanel nail polish was a definite no for me, so i found a substitute at sportsgirl a few weeks ago.
sportsgirl's apple nail polish ♥

havent got to try it on though. BUT.
i intend to use apple this fri for PMS X zOMG!
CANT WAIT PLS. going to be SO GOOD. and i can finally meet the duo behind it all.
IN PERSON!!!! wooots!
talking abt tt. i have got no idea what to wear tt day :( nvm. still got another 30+ hrs to figure it out.
weirdly, apple is not on the sportsgirl site. have to snap it myself.
ANYWAYS. i rmbr holding onto apple and drooling over the other pastel shadessss.
was all ready to bring them home, but i decided to trade it for another top i spotted somewhere in the sales section...

shall buy them when i feel richer. PASTELLLL. SWEET.
oh and i saw the red polish tt chri lent me.
its called 'tomato'. had it on a few entries ago.
hmm. why are the shades tt i like all named after food. probably a sign to eat more veggies.

been screwing up my slp pattern. and my body is protesting via fatigue and pimples.
how smart.
supposed to slp early, but im wide awake at 1.19am.
second last week of the semester before exams, and i have been coming up w excuses not to go for classes. why is jamie so retarded?
and i think tts the reason why i keep waking up from my naps thinking its Sunday.

2009-10-15T21:35:00.003+08:00

COMPLETED MY PROPERTY ASSIGNMENT!
though i thought the whole week sucked compared to the week before.
have to buck up. im not getting the grades i deserve :(

i finally managed to catch up w N today.
only when she started whining, being indecisive, trying to buy more stuff to hit the 'free gifts' requirements in myers, how she keeps craving for sweets, spent a whole half hr in laguna to get 1 pack of soya beans, rant abt diets, telling me once again how much she liked durian ice cream from breadtop, raved abt 大牛, how she goes 'oh yaaaaaa...', ask the salesgirl just abt everything in the store, did i realise how much i missed herrrrrr.
glad i dragged her out. she s been working the whole semester i feel like something is wrong with my life. hahahah.

omg. love these two lovelies. i cant stop raving abt them.
i heart coffee like how i heart my KeepCup.
finally found the perfect reusable coffee cup! been searching for one ever since i found out that
COFFEE CUPS CANT BE RECYCLED
(unless they are biodegradable. which is highly unlikely.)
and we thought we were being nice and all cause they are made of PAPER.
but hell no.
if you put them in the recycle bin, they will have to be removed. cause its NOT RECYCLABLE.
well anyways. fell in love with this sexy the moment i saw it on frankie.

awwwwwww.

the person who thought of it is fucking cool, cause the cup fits most espresso machines. plus it has the std capacity, so the barista cant screw my day by screwing with my coffee.
and thank gawd for the cap. it doesnt allow any leaks, and i can easily dump it in my bag before i find a toilet to wash. Anytime. I. Want.

blah blah blah. i can rave 24hrs non stop.
but to cut the story short, i came up with an exciting idea of selling it in sch to raise funds for my salp project. so i went down to the headquarters yest to speak to their sales manager. and the story shall be continued another day. hahahah.

i bought 3 cups! 1 for N, 1 for birthday girl + coffee addict sherri, and moi.
pink, green, red. shld have taken a photo of it before i gave them away D:
now i cant wait to go kere kere every morning. ♥

okae enough jamie.

NEXT UP. kiehl's sodium pca oil free moisturiser. WHICH. i havent used.
hahahahaha. but i tried the tester, and it feels gooooooooooooooooood.
shall see how it goes.

can i hug my sexy cup to sleep?

2009-10-10T06:31:00.007+08:00

just got up from yesterday night.
and i can still taste the jaeger in my phlegm. yuck.
woke up cause of the sun. my blinds are kind of hopeless now.
room is in a mess, make up still on. i must have been really tired or something.
'love my bones', some shirt i got from FFFF last winter hol. 2nd hand, and 2 sizes bigger than what i wear. but it was cheap. so why not.

i rmbr meeting the cutest keyboard player EVER. and he smiled at me. hahahah. still dreamy from tt.
ps. istillloveyoumuff.

i like how the buildings in my balcony show from behind the blinds. prettyyy.
but my room is like a glass house. traps so much heat im actually wanting to perspire even though its 9 degrees outside. i ll put last night's photos through censorship another day.
cause i need to start on property assignment, after some left over chicken wings from dinner!!
rose garden = canteen forever.
hungryyy. ♥

2009-10-06T20:47:00.006+08:00

today. is cooking day.
was craving for pumpkin salad since salp symposium and clara's hse party.
so i decided to make some myself!
the roasted pumpkins are really gd. i was actually surprised. hahahah.

pasta was a mess.
basically. i only think as i cook, there isnt really a recipe. only a image in mind then just whack. dont even know if antipasto was meant to go into pasta actually. hahah
lots of hands-on this time. hope no one gets diarrhea :d

THEN. i kept complaining how christine hasnt been baking.
so she just randomly went to woolly's. got some apples and made apples and cinnamon muffins!
i really shld complain more often.

tmr's breakfast and lunch are covered for now. and C is cooking fried rice for dinner.
hmmm. wonder how long this cooking spree will last before we rely on cereal/oats/indomie/rose garden again D:

just found out on mon tt i ve got 2 assignments due on fri.
and this stupid property assignment due next thurs.
sucksssssss.

cant wait for the weekend to come.

Lisa Mitchellllll = ♥

caught her on rove last night when i was playing w the channels during the ads.
lovelovelove her music. okae. dont know abt the OTHER songs.
(which im going to start dling. or maybe i shld just get her album.)

though. the twisting of her body is awkward in some ways. but i like.
im pretty sure she would make a gd troooper :)
awkward, cult-ish, not a big shot, small but powerful.

just heard sth abt some retard saying we re weird.
but you know what. its like lisa mitchell's coin laundry.
weird. tts why. i love.

Do you have a dollar?
Do you have a dollar for me?
Have you got a house on a hill
And a bed for three?

Do you, do you
Do you, do you..

this is the original mv.

really sweeeeeeeeeeet.
now i wish the next time i do my laundry i would meet some hot guy too. hahahaha. EVEN BETTER. i find out later on he lives next door. HAHAHAHA.
okae. stop dreaming.

saw this comment:
why is everyone saying this is strange? this is definately nowhere near strange? are the majority of people watching this video Australian idol obsessed retards who listen to fucking miley cyrus?

hahaha. tt really made me laugh.

well. YOU are like miley cyrus. and we. we are just happy to be our Lisa Mitchell.
you have a problem with that?

2009-10-03T22:13:00.010+08:00

While shopping for birthday presents yesterday, popped by myers to check out some moisturizers at The Kit.
and this was what caught me eye.

im not a v colourful person. but i so love this. i was going to buy it, then i saw the price tag.
oh well. at least it actually made me hesitate for like 1min or so. no $$$$$$ so i took a postcard instead.

almost forgot abt it, until i saw it lying on the floor. and i started reading the back which says 'blah blah blah... i imagined a world filled with giant mushrooms'.
okaeeeeeeeeee. made me curious enough to start googling for the winners of the kit design award. hahahah.

the Kit design Award. Theme: In My Wildest Dreams
turns out the winner was Jessica Singh. the one on the pouch. her website reminded me of how i used to sit in the library, slurping up all the images from colourful picture books!
her works are a real treat to the eyes. and my fav must be this:
every single thing abt tt image. the tiniest details, the blending and shading of the colours. the different textures, shapes, elements. just makes me happy looking at it.

she really got me thinking. what happened to those days where i would just sit in front of the com and surf for graphic designs and just drool over them? those days where i would work on some self-created project for hours and days? whered tt all go?
i have always loved expressing my creativity in the past. through any single medium. blog templates, i rmbr. and cards. organisers. those were my prized possessions. gifts for friends.
once i catch some kind of inspiration, i try to put it down.
i ll experiment a whole lot, with everything to create tt thing in my head. and w my limited skills + resources, all the more challenging.

just dug through my photo library and found this. i think i made it roughly 4 or 5 years ago?

was for roger. cause i think he was leaving sg. i loved it so much! esp after i spent like a few gd hours on it.

so what happened. no more dreams of getting into design? how can my passion just fade away like this. i used to blame it on my parents. saying tt they dont let me get into art school and stuff. but maybe it really is my bad. i didnt fight for it.

Just tt day when dad and mum came to visit, uncle victor was asking aloud, 'hey. so are you going to stay and study honours?'. before i gave it any thought, mum gave an instant reply 'OF COURSE.' somehow tt brought tears to my eyes.
i felt at tt moment. i had no control over my life. dont i have a say in it at all? would someone. anyone. just listen to my own dreams?

after they left, i had the salp symposium. and the seminar was 'shape your destiny'. the guy spent 70% of the time talking abt dreams. every time he stops and ask us to think abt our dream, i cld sense this intense emotion tt makes me tear (which gave me a hard time cause i had to hide it from friends or they wld think im a freak.)

dont know. maybe im just weird. but having dreams are really important to me.

will end here for now. i can go on forever just thinking abt it.
and its like 2 25am cause of daylight savings = 3hrs ahead of sg. argh.

2009-09-30T22:54:00.009+08:00

wooooots! im part of a new world record!
at south lawn in sch yesterday. with 317 OTHER ppl (318 including me!) dancing the robot danceeeeeee.
the weather was damn gd. i cld finally feel tt Spring is here ♥

the steps are really cute! especially the moving fwd and bkwards thing. damn hilarious when everyone does it together. you can see how sj starts laughing in the middle of the vid.
i was holding the camera and doing the robot dance. before sj took over the cam, it ended. so no record of me in the vid :( sadddddddddddddd. must wait for norwind's camera :(

well. at least i took photos with robots and killed some pirates. music was just lovely. everyone was clubbing in the middle of the day. on grass. hahahahaha.

and i secretly snapped the guy w the funny pose. hahahah.
okae. karma. but quite cute lah. OMG. I JUST NOTICED IT LOOKED LIKE THE ROBOT IS POKING HIS ASS W THE PIRATE SWORD. HAHHAHAHAHA. shit. karma.

i love the grass here. can roll around. and lie down. not like sg's.

TODAY. was UP day.
in 3D!
okae. im so sua ku. i thought 3D was like some flimsy paper glasses thing. but they were actually real glasses!
so this is what you get. when you put 2 bored and sua ku ppl together. in a empty cinema. on a weekday.

been hanging out w sj lately. cause everyone else seem to be busy and she s the only other person avoiding sch work like me.
:(
but i studied an hr just now cause M's voice kept ringing in my ~~bed~~ head.
BED! cousin-in-law aka uncle victor drove me to ikea after robo dance to get a new bed! and its like the best i ever had. latex bed. no idea what tt is. but it makes me want to slp in even more now.

tmr is smith street! im going to wake up at 8am to mug. 11am smith. back asap, by 4 or 5pm. MUG. tts the plan baby. tts the plan.

oh. and jc uploaded pics from silk road!

the chandeliers just made everything look so much more atas! (what did i say about being betty in a gg party tt day?)

and i really made an effort to open my eyes tt night. but srsly. my eyes are so small they are non existent. might as well close and show liner :O
I NEED TO COMMENT ON THIS. did you realise we are carrying our bags? this is not a singaporean habit for sure. i had to get used to this here. dancing w my bag. HATE. bag drop always seem out of reach. somehow.

this week is red nail polish week. if you know me well. i nvr attempt red polish cause i always think they make my fingers look fat. I VE CONVERTED. maybe just for this week. hahahaha.

okae. nvr ending post.
be assured this wont ever happen once spring break is over.

**keeping my fingers crossed tt i ll find sth for jc and norwind's bday on smith's tmr********

2009-09-28T08:39:00.005+08:00

EXAM TIMETABLE IS UP!
wahahahah. okae. i shldnt be laughing w joy. shows how near it is and how dead i am.

and i actually end on the second last day of exams #$%@#!
why must this happen to me twice in a row. bet Howard and Co. will fin everything like 1wk before me and start partying alr.

oh. went silk road last night. and omg. everyone was so dressed up! then i glanced at the tic and it says 'Formal - cocktail dresses' wtf? i was in erm. in a tube with those harem-pants-thing-but-it-reaches-my-ankles kind.
i felt as though i was betty thrown into a gg party and sooooooooooo under dressed. but jc said i looked funky. what a word to use. HAHAHAH. and chri kept saying im fine. at least i wasnt thrown out by bouncer for being the only girl in pants right? TSK.
AND. first time in my life i **********. so im pretty sure i dressed alright. or maybe i just looked different from everyone else.

jc was holding the camera the whole night = no ctrl of censorship on fb D: argh. we ll see how it goes. some safety measures have to be imposed to ensure no eye pollution is made to the public.

btw. thanks for saying tt *****! it made my day. or even my week :D

2009-09-26T14:53:00.004+08:00

BET YOU DIDNT KNOW MELB HAD MAMBO NIGHTS TOO RIGHTTTTTTT!!!
okae. my first time going mambo here.
reminds me a whole lot like home, esp since like 99.9999% were singaporeans.
and probably half of them were from triple S since they just finished camp.

the music was really gd.
surprisingly. cause rmie said she hated eve, and i was expecting a whole lot worse.
oh. AND ONE THING TT REALLY REMINDED ME OF SG.
it was so fucking crowded. (think phuture.)
1) im happy its a familiar sight.
2) but im upset tt i have to struggle w the little space.
i was at sevens the last time and we had so much space i swear i could turn one full round without some bitch pushing me. christine and clara cld even salsa. imagine tt.

i cant believe i had so little tt night. i was gone after a jager, tequila, and i think. a bottle of pure blonde. loser D:

heres Jamie and Jamie.
hope i ll be seeing her on sunday again. the only similarity is in the name and height.

OMG. GUESS WHO I MET. my semi-circle of friend!
david wong. i was like. no way. did i accidentally teleport myself home without knowing??

glad i dragged winny and marcus yeo. or else nobody wld be there to lookout for me.
we had maccas at i think 3am? man. the ANGUS BURGER.
i cant believe im saying this. or even googling the picture to salivate.
but it beats every other maccas or hungry jacks burgers HANDS DOWN. heard tt? HANDS DOWN.
and im saying this just after a single bite. shall have the whole burger soon.

having bcm cravings recently. all M's fault.
nvm.
I LL BE HM IN 2MTHS.

2009-09-24T14:53:00.005+08:00
