i cant decide what my favourite song is.
ours - the bravery
elevator love letter - stars
sweet disposition - the temper trap
your hand in mine - explosions in the sky
for when i feel good and happy and warm and awesome
intro - the xx
when i feel upset or when i feel like winding down or when i'm doing something tiring
cosmic love - florence and the machine
any time
let the love back in - the orange lights
lack of colour - death cab for cutie
help i'm alive - metric
your heart is an empty room - death cab for cutie
when i'm disappointed or when i'm stressed

best news in awhile.
no words can express how extremely overjoyed i am at the prospect of being overseas for six months.
for one, i have never been overseas for more than a few weeks at a time,
and it's very rare cos my family is big and it's tough to make our schedules meet.
being overseas for exchange means i'll get to travel around and it's going to be awesome.
so yes,
it's Jönköping University in Sweden (:
!!!! (:
there'll be bunnies and deer in the forests !!!
that's got me the most excited.
and of course, snow and so many things to take photos of.
i'll be spending my 21st there though and it makes me kinda sad :/
though i'm sure it'll be one to remember. (:
the first day of school is on my birthday
(please dont let me get homesick though i super doubt i will)
the people coming along are pretty awesome too
so yay
my parents have been very supportive of this too
so i couldnt ask for more
(except perhaps $ haha.)
so it looks like this christmas i'll be asking everyone to contribute to the Samantha goes to Sweden fund.
and i need to start RECEIVING tuition jobs.
i've been mailing out but no reply ): what am i doing wronggg.
apart from that,
it's week three of school already.
i pretty much like all my classes
cept 207, which I has a ton of reading zzz
and astro, which i have yet to go for heh.
oh and i havent been around much for online journ too (whoops)
(:
apart from that,
yesterday i was extremely happy,
having gotten exchange in sweden~
woohoo.
wall was real sweet cos he suggested going out to celebrate
and by out he meant going out of ntu
so i was all YAY
and we ended up at Fika at Haji for Swedish food (:
it was super yummy!
i had an open face sandwich with smoked salmon, prawns and roe
and he had swedish beef patties with mashed potato.
we also ordered a potato salad
and for dessert, we hadddd
caramel fudge cheesecake! (:
with a scoop of awesome vanilla icecream
it was nice :D
then we walked round haji for a bit
before taking a train back to ntu (:
i saw this header yesterday.
unicorns existtt~

so dnd is finally over.
it's a very weird surreal feeling.
but i guess it's cos dnd came right after foc and then it was intense chionging
and now it's over.
just like that.
it feels weird because you're doing something
and you're doing some more things
and you're doing some more things
and suddenly it all just stops.
i'm glad with how everything turned out
working behind the scenes was crazy,
but i guess i missed doing that from way before.
i forgot what it was like having a responsibility to do things
at a greater consequence
and i guess dnd made me miss all of that.
after dnd, shagged as we were, we headed to soul,
(where wall decided to crash his head into my nose pfft)
then back to mbs to stay the night.
the bed was super awesome.
and the pillows too.
bel got high and it was pretty crazy but apart from that,
it was awesome.
so now that everything is over.
it's back to school.
in some effort to make myself crazy busy
i've applied for some tuition jobs.
so in the mean time i'm just waiting for replies.
i think i'm a workaholic in all honesty.
i cant seem to accept that there'll be no more photoshopping
no more going to print/buy stuff.
no more (i guess) feeling purposeful.
that's really what all this boils down to.
i want to be useful.
i want to contribute to things in whatever ways.
now that all this workstuff is over.
i feel so out of it.
now i have to relax.
and focus on school.
and i dont really want to focus on school.
it's like i'm looking for something more important than it.
the next most "pressing" thing on my mind is instep application results.
and for some reason,
i have so little optimism for that (sigh)
i'm going to be praying hard.
this feeling of satisfaction is very strange.
but i think it's because i havent felt it this much in awhile
and it's something easily forgotten.
i just realised
that all along i wasnt just living from deadline to deadline
i was chasing the satisfaction that came with meeting those deadlines.
as i feared, school's really just one deadline to another.
D&D is coming to an end soon
but it's really just been a big stress out
and the whole $ issue is really so crazy.
i dont know what to do.
(though of course,
dont get me wrong-
i'm so excited for it)
all this money talk.
it just really makes me want to rely less on money
it's so tiring.
all we ever do revolves around money.
whether it's wanting to buy something,
needing it to survive
working for it
money somehow seems to be part of every intention and motivation to doing most things in life.
i wonder if that's something i'll ever get used to.
and at the same time, getting rid of money wouldn't help at all.
so really. i dont know what to do, sigh.
i guess once all this dnd stress and instep craziness is over
it'll be all back to books and lectures and tutorials and readings
and everything will be perfectly mundane
but perfectly normal
and easier.
i guess that's why people accept it when things are mundane and they just have to
follow
follow
follow.
it's cos it's safe and easier.
and then when it's all safe and easier,
i cant decide whether that's better.
(or what is)

i'm now going to do my instep research
FINALLY.
been crazy caught up with getting a ton of stuff done for dnd.

i'm just tired
and it feels like i dont know what i'm doing.
school's starting soon
and i'm still busy.
i cant decide whether that's a good or bad thing
but i know right now i'm really tired
and it feels like it wouldnt take a lot to make me want to give up
dnd photoshoot ytd went pretty well
despite it being very rushed
cos the preshoot arrangements took longer than expected.
i also am beginning to increasingly find the idea of make up
very....confusing.
wall did an awesome job with the photos i thought
and i'm really gladddd
i am also finding it very annoying on many levels
that we have to live apart
it's almost like i need to wake up next to you.
anyways part 2 of the shoot's on monday
and imma be moving to hall on wednesday.
here's some major big praying that my roomie is the nicest person ever.
(PLEASE)
i cant buy you the cameras you want
but i will draw them very nicely

happy every day
hoho so i realised that i havent blogged in a million years.
i have a very bad habit of lounging on my bed with my back slumped against the wall then propping my legs up and resting my mac on my thighs, and it makes me dizzy
but i still do it
strange, i know.
it's been weeks since i posted,
foc is overrrrrr
(woohoo)
i'm glad that pubs paid off in the form of 140 freshies signing up for camp
so in ways it's somewhat a pat on the back
the photomontage made my chest swell a little too
(haha this sounds so awkward but i cant think of any other ways to phrase it)
it was awesome.
and i have to admit it's a bit sad how easy it is to upload photos on fb
and so i have become pretty lazy to upload photos here :/
plus there's instagram so the rest of my photos go there
i will make an effort to upload some stuff here
since i shall attempt to post way more regularly in this space
(i dont even know who visits this space anymore)
(i do kinddddd of like it this way because i can say whatever i want)
okay so anyways
(it seems like i'm always doing some mass pseudo update whenever i blog but nevermind)
okay so two weeks ago there was foc
crazy mad rush with photos
getting stressed
but in good ways
all the awesome stuff that wkwscifoc is made of
agron love
and seeing everything just
(for the lack of a better word)
happen.
i havent felt it in a long time
but it's the feeling of putting so much effort and trust into something
and then when it happens
you just see everything unfold and unravel
and it's pretty amazing to watch
there were hiccups and stuff but it still worked out awesome
it's like that i guess, no matter what shit you get it'll still be fucking awesome
cos you know, for the effort you put in, you deserve for everything to be awesome
and it really was.
i have regrets not getting to be a programmer or running for chair or vicechair
but at the end of the day i still got a taste of satisfaction
and it does feel magical
and it sort of makes me feel less lazy to get in touch with these things
because the sense of fulfilment i get is what's been lacking in my life
in all honesty
(i have JUST realised this)
so yea that was foc.
(: coming up next there's dnd
which is going to be another yay
i'm going to have some real fun with this
and i wanna make sure i do a good job
apart from that i've been hanging with wall
meeting friendssss
and other random stuff
harry potter was good in the sense, i liked it
and i would watch it again.
among other things
wall's been all kinds of awesome
this is random but it's related la uh
he's been on a making me happy streaaaak
(i hope i've been making him as happy)
i shall summarise all the awesomestuff we've been up to

firstttttttt
we had a picnic at botanic gardens
with the swans and ducks
(true story)
for food we hadddd
brie and crackers
proscuitto
schweppes
grapessss
honey oatsss and milk
it was all yayyyyy
we also planned a hatched dayyyy
(also known as wall's treat day awwwww hahaha)
so we met at 1ish and it was a monday
turns out hatched was closed pfffttttt
(how could i forget even after checking !)
so we took a cab down to dempsey instead
we popped by jones the grocer
awesome cheese room
and settled at ps cafe for lunch (:
it was a fucking awesome lunch with wall
(:
the smoked salmon sandwich
and iced coffee
and lemon ginger drink
and sticky date pudding were too good
(:
all thanks to wall (:
then we headed to town for harry potterrrrr yay
but not before popping by river island yay
where i saw a pair of awesome sandals
kinda steep for $80 for a pair of sandals
so we left them awwww
after harry potter we went over to juff's place to pass him smth
then supper then homesweethome
we had random dates here and there
awesome comeovertomyplace surprises
and secret stayovers
we went swimming at aunty bevy's too !! (:
before unplugged
(: that was just last week
wall brought his underwater case
so we took some awesome photossss
these are just a few



aaand
there was the og outing at cuscaden too (:
and i got the river island sandals :D yay
wall said they were too handsome
i have to agree.
most recently was hanging out at emery's place
with wall's friends
(it wasnt weird being the odd one out at least)
it was a good night to say the least (:
got home pretty late at 5am
and that brings us to today ! (:
woke up in time to shower and head for mass
wore my new sandalssss ! (:
and the black and white f21 top
(which shrank in the wash - i hate when this happens)
and the cotton on black bandage
(which reminds me i need a new basic black comfy bandage)
and we had tony roma's for lunch
(YUMMYYYYYY)
and it was awesome
potato skins
onion loaf
baby back ribs
enough to last me the next few months.
(:
wish you were there (:

i shall end of the post with the new sandals! (:
theyre my happy shoes !
imma never be upset in them
so yeah (:
so i popped by the zara sale yesterday
aaand.
there's a pullover w patches over the elbows that i want :/

it's been a crazy past week
mostly.
spent tues thurs nights and mon night (today) doing up the main comm photos.
wall helped shoot
shots turned pretty awesome
and i made them kinda kaleidoscopic.
really do quite like how they turned out.
for one, i dont look as dorky and ditzy and stoned.
managed to squeeze time from last week to go for a picnic w wall at the botanic gardens
we had proscuitto and brie and crackers and grapes
and schweppes.
i could live on this.
we saw ducks and swans
so that was enough to make my day
(this kinda sounds like one of those primary school essays-
go for picnic, what we ate, animals we saw, lol)
on thurs night i finally got to meet the a4 girls for dinnerrrr
we met at cathay's astons.
and yayyy finally,
it feels like forever
but with them its always awesomely funny
had supper three days in a row last week
1- teochew porridge w wall and jing
2- swee choon dim sum w wall, audrey and pedro
3- teochew porridge w wall and mark
swee choon was pretty awesome.
the xiao long baos werent too bad
and the yam puffs were awesome.
i like the crysanthemum tea too,
managed to finish a whole pot !
i've been doing alot of random stuff.
i got a new top at forever21~ (:
and wall and i had dinner at fish&co yummmmmmmm
ebiko king prawn (!!)
aaand island creamery teh tarik and bandung and apple pie
and coke float with raspberry sorbet
looks like we've been doing aaalot of eating.
wall's helping vik out w a production
and i'm acting as a secretary in it (LOL)
so we spent the second half of sunday shooting.
sat night was daddy's bday dinner
so the whole family came overrr
and then wall and zac and tab and i,
we played kinect after that yay
pingpong till my wrist ached.
sunday mass was a youth mass
but the priest didnt do or say anything to make it more relevant to the youth
so i found it so weird that they called it a youth mass.
the only thing that made it more of a youth mass
was the fact that the youth attended the mass according to their catechism classes.
oh, that and the sharing by one kid regarding his confirmation camp experience.
i also met the ex girlfriend
(haha)
which is always pretty much an experience in itself
even thought its sans any talking whatsoever
though, there was brief eye contact
but you never really know if they knew you were you
or if they knew....
so yeah it's just that.
lunch was at wisma's food republic (yawn)
we had thai food
which means green curry and pineapple rice and mango salad.
after that mummy went to kino
(and yay she got me Frankie)
and i popped (haha i nearly typed pooped) by the vans flagship store at cine.
good newsssss~
the hello kitty vans are coming in on the 8th.
that's three days before foc so hurray i can wear them out then
*and by wear them out i mean, make them look more used- like wear and tear
not just the use them meaning of wear them out.
haha, pun intended i guess?
i hope i end up getting them
because i always get so fussy over covered shoes.
mostly,
i only wear them in the store when i'm trying them on
and one or two other times
then every other time i'd be like
nuh it's too hot, my toes wouldnt be able to breathe.
and that's the end to wearing them.
so yeah.
i hope i get this pair and i hope i wear them for awhile.
i hope they fit though.
it'll be weirdly disappointing if i dont like them when i try them on
or if the pink looks weird against my skin.
i think i'm thinking too much into this, lol.
i'll prolly like them
i've been anticipating their arrival for waaay too long.
(then again, you dont always end up liking something you've been waiting for)
apart from that
(yea i've been ranting a lot)
i cant remember what else i wanted to say.
apart from the general fact that
i need to start giving tuition
so that i will actually have money
and so that i can actually do the things i want.
that's about the gist of what i wanted to say when i started out with this post.
(lol)

this ring please?
