but basically i couldnt sleep properly once the sun rose
cos it got so warm even with the fan blowing at me (pfft.)
woke up like 3 hours earlier than i normally would when i get to sleep in.
headed to the doctor's.
got a whole ton of medicine,
and i seriously hate antibiotics-
1.they taste foul at the back of your throat
2.hard to swallow!
3. have to take one and a half so i have to cut the tablet, then all the powder will spill (ew)
4. the whole course has to be finished!!
dr tan gave me 15 tablets of antibiotics (BEST)
it's one and a half tablets, twice daily,
so in one day i'd take 3,
which means it's going to take me FIVE days to finish the whole course
AWWWWH MAN.
then there's tablets for the throat, nose, phelgm
and cough syrup.
sighhhhhhhhhhh i dont like this.
looks like a 2 day mc for me too,
though i said i didnt need the mc :S
i also got tablets for the cramps,
which is a whole mash of
you-havent-been-eating-properly (from the boyf and mother)
and i-have-been-eating-enough-and-properly-la (from me)
so yeahhhh after the docs i couldnt resist popping by Fujifilm at J8 to get the awesome photos printed :D
gonna bring the scrapbook out later,
so we can add the new photos tgh later
(YAY)
so looking forward to this (BIGGEST SMILE)
haha i sound so high in this post
(its not the medicine heh)
okay it's lunch time and it's raining,
i shall thrive on muesli bars, cereal+milk, milo
and a whole ton of other small things that dont make me full
but give me the calories i need.
i'm going to try to be more of a vegetarian (SERIOUS)
except where the rare tempting meat is concerned hehe
(which is like whenever i feel like eating meat lol)
being a vegetarian just sounds a whole lot healthier
and not forgetting,
friendlier to the weighing machine.
oohkay.
i always come up with stuff i want to keep going on my blog-
rmb that time with the post artworks by my fav artists thing.
it didnt get past the first post with the work by Hirst.
HAHA.
soooooo anyways,
this time i'm going to try (ten times harder)
to make this post thing sustainable (since i'm stopping work at the end of june,
i should be free to post often in july heh such LR thinking but yeah :D)
and soooo the latest post hype on jadedturquoise is
(drumroll heh)
i shall post random photos of pretty things
(yay pretend like this is such a big thing HAHA)
okaaaaay this is so blogger trying to be like tumblr
but yeahhhhh i still like my blog more than my tumblr,
so i guess might as well combine them?
:D
so yes, PRETTYPICTURES&&&AWESOMESTUFF coming up on jadedt.
:D
okaaaaay i better eat smth and take the rest of the after-food meds (eeeyuck)
then since they cause drowsiness,
i ought to zzz
then wake for dinner with the boyf
(BIG YAY OVER HERE)
i love the sparkle the galaxy brings,
it reminds me of being on the mountain in vietnam. & i really really like this photo so muchhhh. and i love you (:
i havent been this happy in awhile.

again, i dont understand how some science students choose to pursue the arts in uni.
i just dont get it? maybe it's just that they think science is tough to pursue etc etc,
or they realise they're not cut out for science in uni but seriously?
and it's almost(maybe not even almost, but totally) like they want to prove that science students can do well in the arts too. -following some fb comment threads i mean, seriously? wts (whattheshit) is there to prove?
i dont have anything against science students who want to pursue the arts personally but i've had this whole issue before
and some day i'm going to do smth about this.
fav from ytd ♥ (ah should have brought my instax!)
Ytd was a really awesome day! met with a4 at 730 at timbre. J decided to come by too :D which was really nice :) so it was the 8 of us and we had an awesome time. Highlight of the night was kinda the revelation of two new couples expectedly it was a hoax (hehe) and the evening was filled with laughs and food and a whole lot of photos (which can be found on fb)
I decided i should just post a few here (sorry i'm too lazy to resize them haha.)
and also kinda lazy to put captions, lol.
Friday, May 28, 2010
mardi gras at tjc last night was great :D
it was awesome seeing so many familiar faces,
and hearing s club for mass dance did feel nostalgic
for a moment (:
todayyyyy
i met h in the morning for breakfast,
then met the boyf for the rest of the time,
since he was at pumpfest :)
all in all it was a super awesome day
(duh havent seen him in weeks)
:D
aaand i will blog with photos from mardi gras tmr,
after timbre with a4 :D
Wednesday, May 26, 2010
work was good today, it's getting better cos it's ending soon (the nygh workshops that is) tmr's the last dayyyyy !! no more waking up before 7, yay.
(: after work at 3, i met amanda at far east to look for stuff to complete our outfits. so excited for tmr hehe,
shant reveal what we're going as,
till tmr !! :D
had fun looking for stuff,
didnt buy anything except a scarf and a hairband and she got round glasses :D and i also got a silver sequined big big ribbon hairclip
(HOHO.)
i think the inner bimbo was calling out to me,
haha.
it's just so cute-funny heh
so yay it's now mine HAHA
(cheap thrill when i wear it,
it's like a feel good thing lol.)
we managed to get all our stuff,
so it was good :D
then i had shoes for her outfit and she had the dress and shoes for mine,
so yay all sorted out.
cant wait HAHA.
:D
feeling kinda tired and i need to wake early tmr (again)
so okay once the workstuff is done uploading and is sent i'm going to sleep.
yayyyyyy it's half and hour to thursday,
and once tmr is over,
it's just less than 12 hours till i get to see you (big smile)
Tuesday, May 25, 2010
love hair shots like these. too awesome.
work today was alright,
waking at 7 was no joke,
felt like a total zombie,
eyes felt so sore
and my nose was being annoying.
so indicative of a lack of sleep.
(but oh well?)
workshop was over by 2 (yessssss, tiring)
i dont like being in aircon for hours!! so dry pfft.
then we headed back to RI,
then i went to meet sarah at ttsh.
had a massive headache (tsunami headache hehe)
and so chilling at thesecretplace was a good idea.
my only regret is that i suspect the white chocolate macchiato is what gave me the horribly sore throat i have now.
looks like it wasnt a good idea, haha.
but oh well? shall spam water now!
okay just had a cup (heh)
had fun hanging with her,
fun doesnt have to mean shopping or doing anything haha.
we barely do anything actually? more like really just hanging out
(except that she's studying)
yeaaah.
checked out sasa watsons bodyshop
but couldnt find any eyeliner (that she wanted)
couldnt decide which hairbrush to get either!
sprayed Daisy by Marc Jacobs to try
and ahhh so nice.
but its like $93 for 50ml,
more ex then harajuku lovers LOVE,
which i dont like as much anymore, haha.
then we went homeeee.
had dinner
and then magnum mini
(shit no wonder getting fat heh)
and no wonder i have a sore throat (water time)
and then here i am,
managed to get work done and photos sorted and all so yay,
feeling quite settled.
cant wait for workstuff to finish attaching in the background,
so i can zzz (:
tmr's earlyearly again :S
(hope i dont get a cabbie who drives me to scgs instead of nygh heh)
apart from all this daily stuff,
i cant wait for thurs fri sat
(HAHA i say this EVERY DAY i think)
okaaay i shall call the bestfriend to discuss what to wear on thurs for mardi gras.
meanwhile i'm trying to stop sneezing.
today,
work as usual- workshop in the morning.
reached home around 3 plus,
met gina at ion,
checked out topshop new look zara river island;
everywhere
AND
i didnt get anything (:
mum will be happy, lol.
then got stuff back from Provence
and headed to church soon after.
after church headed back after a late dinner,
reached home at like 1120.
so tired.
then i rmbed the workstuff,
so frustrating cos my mum didnt plug in my laptop on time,
so i missed the auto on
(on the pc now)
laptop>pc.
and i hate doing my own workstuff on the pc.
the keyboard sucks for one.
anyways apart from that,
i'm working on not getting annoyed by a certain someone (PFFT)
and i cant wait for thurs and fri and sat
and i seriously just cant wait to spend time with the boyf
i know it's annoying to keep reading that i want to spend time with him
but seriously the amount of time we have tgh is seriously scarce
and so every time it happens it's really smth worthwhile (to me)
and yeah it's really what i look forward to.
okay its 1.20am,
i have 5 hours of sleep left.
night
Sunday, May 23, 2010
i dont normally wear leggings or stockings but i SUPER WANT a pair like these !!! let me know if you know where to get a pair like this please ! (:

so i dont have to see blurry objects with sunglasses on (heh)
we had lunch at Anatolia again :D

(:
then i headed to thesecretplace to meet sarahquek (:
spent time there chilling,
while she study
(haha like thesis+anti thesis)
then went home for dinner,
and here i am now (:
trying to find photos of the floral leggings that i super want but pfft
cant find it ):
no one said it would be easy, but i'm so glad we're working this through ♥ & i'm glad that i'm with you.
i'm in awe of google chrome to an all new level,
after it converted a whole website in polish to english for me, within five seconds
(it was fashion blog, alicepoint)
AMAZING.
really a wonder of technology and programming.
apart from this,
i'll just blog highlights from today since it's 1.20am
and i want to sleep.
woke up at 1pm,
hoho,
havent been such a sleepyhead in 8329193 days.
watched the notebook and sisterhood of the travelling pants2 concurrrently.
(cried alot heh)
then headed to meet sarah at thesecretplace
(:
had a nice iced caramel macchiato with the right amt of caramel
big like.
then we popped by Cotton On
all the sunnies were going for $5
haha, since i rarely wear sunglasses
(i wear specs, duh lol)
i just decided to get a pair for that rare beach time/contacts day (LOL)
(happy)
then met h at chomp chomp
had fish soup (yay healthy)
and sugarcane (bye headache)
talked for a long while then met amanda for awhile.
(semi) settled some heart-tough stuff
and then headed home feeling down down down.
got home feeling better,
accepted ntu (finally)
and now i ought to zzz.
hope tmr will be skinny day so i can wear the unicorn dress, heh.
Friday, May 21, 2010
stuff i tried on the past week.
all from river island.
the first 2 i tried on for fun,
but they ended up nice,
like the first tank esp!!
considering i'm not usually a tank person.
the third dress is the unicorn one that i ended up getting hehe.
this is random and stuff. but i'm reading facehunter to pick myself up heh.
who am i trying to kid? sigh.
workshop today was fine,
kinda repetitive,
since it was the same thing twice for different groups,
but it was alright (:
nothing much else that's significant happened.
made some sketches during the workshop,
will photoshop it later
(when i get down to loading photos from today heh)
feeling kinda sleepy and empty at the same time.
tmr's saturday,
meeting h.
maybe i should wear the new unicorn dress?
i need smth to do ):
and among other (trivial) things,
my wrist is hurting like crazy.
cant wave or open a door even.
it just aches perpetually :S
oh well?
shall ice it and see.
i feel like going to f21 at 313 for fun to WINDOW SHOP
(HAHA)
my mum keeps nagging at me,
i'm really not going to buy anymore stuff this month
-unless it's really really nice and worth it hehe.
okay. typing this is taking ages cos of the wrist.
shall go back to just blog/tumblr hopping since that just requires clicking heh.
Thursday, May 20, 2010
MIGHT be changing url to oatmealgrey.blogspot.com SOON (:
yayyy cliff managed to fix my comp, and let me log in, but now, i have to use an external keyboard ): which is kinda hard to type in :S but anyways it's better than not being able to use this laptop at all. mhmm.
feeling kinda sian about it, sigh.
so stupid to let the water spill in the first place.
but yeah oh well.
too late i guess.
:/
okay.
on to happier things ! :)
ah my wrist hurts :S
think i sprained it at work today or smth :S
anywaysssss-
thissss is the dress i got from river island! :)
in advance reward
(since i just got the acceptance from SMU Social Sciences today)
(i was beginning to think i was too ditzy during the interview so they didnt want me hehe)
so yeah,
this is the dress from river island :D
it kinda looks miumiu ish? upon hindsight. though the material is totally different and the size of the prints as well (: but yay it's nice and i cant wait to get to wear it (: it works well as a top too (i think it's meant to be a top) but cos i settled for size 12, it's a dress for me heh.
decided not to post all the colourful loud funny stuff that we tried on at river island,
in case they get upset (HAHA)
so yeah.
tried on a whole bunch of awesome stuff at F21 too,
including an awesome full length playsuit thing,
that's really quite cute,
but if i was older i would wear it.
tried on a few of those strapless type of dresses,
only to realise that they really suit me :/
except that i dont like wearing strapless dresses, lol.
so yeah heh.
suddenly dont really feel like blogging,
plus my wrist is hurting,
suspect that i hurt it during work today ):
the boyf is alrdy asleep i think? :/
oh well.
shall go to sleep soon,
workshop at 8am tmr at NYGH,
and we have to be there at 715 to set up ):
so yeah :S
okay apart from that i feel so sian for no reason
(has to be pms heh)
okaaay shall go off and zzz now.
night.
Sad to say,
but i accidentally spilt almost half a cup of water on my laptop keyboard
(blogging from the PC now)
at first i could type fine even with the water.
but it seems to me that despite absorbing every visible drop with tissue,
some water must've seeped into the circuitry ):
still can't work now.
shall continue drying it for the next two days,
but ah, SAD.
suddenly have a ton of stuff i want to blog abt,
but this PC here aint got photoshop,
so i cant add images from the river island website (cos they used flashplayer)
meeting cliff later to try and remedy the laptop or at least get the onscreen keyboard working, so i dont have to lug around an external keyboard... lol.
so yeah, quick update on ytd (supposed to be heading to work alrdy!!)
met amanda at six-ish
had dinner at carls jr (yummy)
- oreo milkshake indulgence too.
(shared the calories haha)
then we went to daiso cos i needed to pick up some work stuff,
then river island, where we had an awesome time trying on funny stuff
(that we otherwise wouldnt wear)
will post photos of the stuff we tried when i can use my laptop ):
(: ended up with the red pullover
AND a unicorn printed dress/top :D
(will post photos again soon)
and then we went to forever21 and had more fun trying stuff,
tried on tons of hairbands,
in the midst of deciding what to go as for mardi gras at tj next thurs.
(:
we headed back soon after getting a drink at subway
and whilst on the train,
she suggested what we should go as,
and yay we decided!
but not before laughing nonstop
SERIOUSLY non stop,
everyone in the mrt carriage MUST HAVE been staring at us lol.
(:
oookay i will update later again
(hopefully from my laptop)
if not, expect updates to be more sporadic ):
Wednesday, May 19, 2010
when you tell me you're in love.
sooo today.
managed to catch the season finale of 90210.
sad ending for naomi and liam.
but for everyone else it's all good and happy.
this is one episode i didnt end up feeling shitty over,
so i guess it's a good sign (:
apart from that,
it's back to work -
collating survey results for today/tonight.
managed to find the time to retrieve a whole bunch of my stuff
which i found among my sister's things.
she has his horrible bad habit of taking my things
(for idk what stupid reason)
and it pisses me off ttm finding my stuff among her things, seriously la.
it's so annoying.
and my things will never be safe when i go to uni
and even more if and when i stay in hall.
pfft.
apart from that peeve,
meeting the bestfriend for dinner tonight
at vivo.
shall find time to make a trip to daiso to scout for workstuff
and most prolly get the ketchup red pullover from river island,
which i actually dont feel so hyped up about now,
for some weird reason :/
shall see how when i see it again.
feeling kinda sian today
(i think it's the weather?)
i hope it's not the 90210,
haha.
okay it's like 230 already,
shall get ready to leave at 430,
so that leaves me with two hours to spenddd :/
cant go over to the cousin's place,
cos they're having their afternoon nap...
i need to find smth to do.
like a personal project or smth.
all my projects always launch,
but never complete lol :S
now with oatmealgrey up,
i'm thinking of maybe smth to do with online content,
but i cant figure out a mindblowing way to exponentially direct reader traffic in that direction,
and keep it that way.
so for now... it's just one post there. HEH.
for now,
i think you kinda know?
my top three fashion blogs are
fashiontoast
callie danielle (even though her blogging is way sporadic)
alicepoint.
okay posting that was kinda random haha.
copeland's playing in the background now-
hold nothing back on repeat.
I'm also convinced that the two days in a row of caramel macchiato and vanilla expresso,
is the reason i feel so bloated these days.
i mean, yeah i'm not fat,
but i cant stand that bloated feeling.
it makes me feel so sick.
sigh.
okay moving on,
i cant wait for timbre with the A4 clique next weekend
cos it's the debut of the miumiu inspired catprint zara dress (big smile here)
and the killer heels that are a danger to walk in (should be expecting that i will be holding sam/sarah/keagan for support heh)
i'm still so stoked abt just wearing the dress and being with a4 yayyyyyyyyy.
:D
-hope i have a skinny day that day heh.
have a week plus to lose the fat/bloated feeling.
then there's spending time with the boyf
and yeah we all know that makes me happy heh.
oookay i think this post is as long as the morning has felt to me,
so yeah.
post again tonight when i'm back from vivo.
(find out whether i bought the pullover or not heh)
it was like fifteen minutes but i was damn happy after that heh.
(:
cant wait for mid years to end omg.
:D
then i headed home for dinner,
and here i am now (just had dinner)
have some stuff to psd for work
psd-photoshop.
(:
anddd then i'll be free :)
gonna go get my ketchupredpullover (YAY) tmrrrrr.
happy.
okaaaay i should go finish up the psd-ing (:
so that i can blog more and post photos and tumblr and all that usual night time stuff.
Monday, May 17, 2010
last night,
i had a nightmare.
in it,
my dad told me that we were migrating to a small town in italy.
i rmb i was in school,
and he told me over the phone.
i was going to meet you.
and i cried (i actually did lol)
thinking how to tell you.
todayyyyy
nothing much happened in the morning (zzz haha)
met sam in the early afternoon,
attempted to tan
(but no hope cos the sun was being too kind)
it was so cloudy!
so we decided to just stay at the vivo rooftop (:
had a nice picnic-
roast chicken
salad
ham+cheese sandwiches
julie's wafer biscuits (a level period much haha)
calbee seaweed chips
water
:D
i know what to bring for a picnic with j next time haha.
(:
then after the failed attempt to get some sun,
we walked around (:
saw nice stuff at diva (but not on sale haha)
saw a cute ring!
(shall post photos soon, they're with sam)
(: had a funny convo abt bfs and the stuff they buy for their gfs HAHA.
nothing much at SIX..
then we went to Page One (:
awesome stationery and stuff !!
cant wait to get a room in hall so i can get awesome stuff for it
and awesome stationery to use when studying lol.
(:
still want to get tim burton's
the mysterious case of oyster boy and other stories (:
we went to check out the river island sale !!
(: had fun trying on all the colourful stuff that we would NEVER wear.
TOO FUNNY.
we were laughing at each other in the fitting rooms hahaha.
photos soon? lol.
just thinking gaudy orange and blue with polkadots......
and i dont suit the squarey shoulder cut that is apparently in season (:
(photos soon)
aaand upon checking out the guy's section,
i found only the cutest nicest red jumper ever :D
haha needless to say it's a guys one,
but since when did i care lol.
it's like ketchup red and it's that nice itchy material that i like :D
and it's $25 !
i promised my mum i wouldnt shop anymore after getting the zara dress,
but i guess this is an exception?
the usual price is $67!
and my wardrobe lacks red hehe.
(:
but i decided to wait till wed to go get it,
in case i end up regretting :)
so yeah.
and also if there's no more of it,
means it's a sign that i shouldnt get it.
haha but i think it will still be there.
(HOPE SO)
been thinking of it ever since trying it on !! (:
so yeah, looking forward to wed !! :D
also meeting amanda so yayyy (:
after river island fun,
we went to f21,
which disappointingly didnt have any nice beach hats :S
they have tons of cute tops though!
(they always do, and at reasonable prices too!)
managed to walk outta there without lusting for anything (phew)
then went to pull and bear,
which wasnt that awesome this season- cept for some guys stuff!
and then zara,
which has awesome stuff this season!
(as i already mentioned before this post lol)
(:
then we went to the nat geo store (which for some unknown reason, has a very weird smell)
and then candy empire where we got some sweets :)
:)
headed home soon after :)
cant wait for tmr evening.
meeting the whole day tmr
-starting at 930 am
hopefully i end by 5 plus so i can maybe drop by vivo for the pullover before meeting the boyf.
(:
but yeah get to meet the boyf to pass him the text
eventhough it's only for a few minutes :)
okaaay i need to sleep earlier tonight cos i dont think i'm used to 930am
(HAHA)
(: cant wait for tmr, 6pm.
Sunday, May 16, 2010
today was church
then i headed to meet sarah at thesecretplace (:
had some insightful conversations that kinda helped me make my decision (:
so yes, i've decidedddddddd :D
and it feels good.
waiting till midweek to accept,
but i've decided (:
it's good to feel more settled with the thoughts,
but yeah just going to let it sink in for a few days (:
dropping by work tmr to help the boyf get his text,
then there's nothingggg lol.
(:
prolly gonna try to take some tumblr worthy photos (:
need to find the camera stand first.....
(:
Hair obsession.
I'm still figuring how to get my hair like this.
Saturday, May 15, 2010
so todayyyy i went to beach road in the late afternoon,
beach road is seriously filled with army boys (duh)
and their girlfriends.
quite funny seeing only guys with shaved heads and their girls,
but yeah haha.
i'll be there one year plus from now ;)
then we tapao-ed tang yuen (yay)
and J's said it's so ironic how i like chinese food so much,
but i dont speak chinese.
and yeah! it's annoying.
like at Crystal Jade,
i cant tell the woman what i want cos i dont know what it's called in chinese
and i can only describe it in english!
i need to go for some chinese food language course, haha.
after beach road,
she dropped me off at thesecretplace
where i met sarah quek rui zhen.
manage to list out my pros and cons for nus and ntu.
will post them later perhaps.
still in a hugeass dilemma over the two despite listing the pros and cons.
it's unfair to go by pros and cons -
cos some pros and some cons have lower and higher weightage
and it's so hard to decide that.
i need to pray about this at church tmr.
thanks everyone for advice so far.
(:
it would mean a lot to me
if you have thoughts on nus vs ntu
and which i should go for,
with substantiation -
sms me pleaseeee :)
so yeah headaches regarding that, sigh.
i just gotta take the leap SOON.
then headed home,
going to mustafa later at 9 (:
reminds me of nette and gina
and our awesome watches from there :D
hopefully i'll be able to find some oldschool treasures there (:
okaaay pizza is calling me now.
and and and i need to plan some birthday parties soon !!! :D
so that everyone can meet up and be happy.
and gina and nette ! timbre when (:
(i wanna wear my dress+heels hehe)
todayyyy
going to beach road later,
to accompany my aunt to get some army stuff (:
for now, i'm just going to shower
and plan some date with the girls so i can wear the dress out !!
(:
Friday, May 14, 2010
thoughts in my head now-
i want Disneyland to be one of the places i go for my honeymoon.
and i really hope so much,
that i never lose that littlegirlhappy side of me
even when life bumps me here and there and knocks me over.
i hope i will always be able to look at unicorns and rainbows the same way.
(:
and i also need to make my mind up regarding nus and ntu.
somehow i just cant seem to convince myself fully to take the leap and accept either one.
the thought of having worked so hard to get to nus fass
and now having to reject what i worked for,
just seems like trying to fit two mismatched puzzle pieces tgh.
and it's just very unsettling.
i guess, until i've convinced myself that ntu wkwsci is better for me than nus fass,
i'm still in a dilemma over it.
): i just want to sit next to you and make a list and decide.
somehow it just seems THIS much easier when you're around :S
i think i quite like Amy Macdonald. i like her voice and accent and just her sound. (: she's like an upbeat Laura Marling in ways?
i think this is damn awesome considering it's not even at the theatre or anything. kristin chenoweth and idina menzel are way awesome.
(: woke up today, did some work, checked some emails, got a call to lunch from amanda- so i met her at bishan and we trained to city hall (:
had lunch at souperlicious, which is not as souper nice as the soup spoon (and the soup spoon at raffles city is still closed...) :S
then we went to funan to look at stickers at the most awesome stationery shop EVER. i'm so going back there to get different notebooks for different stuff, and page markers and stickers (of course hehe) i spent one hour there, choosing stickers and looking at all the awesome stuff they have there (: (if only Popular could have the range of stationery and stickers that they do !) i ended up with these stickers- had to stop myself from getting $30 worth of stickers, ended up with $20 worth lol. THESE ARE THE AWESOMECUTE STICKERS-
then i went to artfriend and spotlight at ps, looking for iron on letters couldnt find ANY. so i just got adhesive felt, and headed to aunty bevy's to pass her (: spent time playing with the cousins :D (yay)
shall make a trip there next week perhaps to swimmmm (: (and hopefully get a tan!!) (:
gg to climbasia tmr morning, then beachroad in the afternoon cos my aunt needs to get something.
i already feel like someone's missing from my weekend :/ and it's not even NS yet! haha. i think i will be used to it by then, which is good i guess (: (lol)
okaaay i shall leave you with some photos.
THE dresssssss from zara :D (and me in it lol) -i'm terribly bad at taking photos of myself esp with my dslr so yeah lol.
the floral skirt i got from zara for $20!
notebook+file+wrapping paper from ARTBOX (:
and my current favourite next to Dont stop believing and Like a Prayer-
happy two months dear
soooo after working at home today, i fell asleep. (lol) then woke up to my mum calling me at 5 plus. then i was like "shucks, i'm supposed to meet chris at 6 and i still need to pick my dress up at zara!!"
so i rushed down, reached zara at 6 (lol) tried on the dress (love at first try) wanted to wear it but it was slightly crumpled so couldnt.. (: got the dress, bused to ps, and met him at 630 (HAHA, sorry)
caught Robin Hood (: which was...okay? i wouldnt recommend it, too much fighting, not much development of the characters. felt like the story was being rushed. and all the happenings were too fluxive...
then we walked around, got army stuff (lol) at Daiso and by army stuff- he means hangers, chocolate and muesli bars lol (:
got home after that,
and continued on Levi's (:
okay i've 35% more of Levi's visualisation to do-
shall continue this tmr.
shall drink some barley/coke
then go zzz (:
shall post photos of the dress tmr :D
HAPPY.
Thursday, May 13, 2010
working on levi's stuff now. settled for a --- lunch. barely ate anything since i'm home and lazy.
managed to do all the sketches, just gotta scan them in and photoshop all later tonight.
not feeling too good about myself. honestly feeling damn bloated. i think it's cos of all the air :S
nothing much else going on, cept that i called Zara to check regarding the dress. and they have an S at Liat Towers. So i'm going down there to try it on later, in an attempt to pick myself up heh. hopefully it fits and looks nice. otw ):
meeting chrispy for dinner at PS then Robin Hood (yay)
my only wish is that the boyf wasnt having mid years :/ but ah well. they'll be ending (soon) (:
apart from all that, today's a relatively dreary day thanks to the weather, work and laziness.
i shall go shower soon, feel fresh and be happy. (:
found this on tumblr (too cute, had to repost this here.)
i'm gonna frame up all this kinda unicorn stuff and photos of my loved ones for my room in hall once that's confirmed. can't wait for uni to starttt.
i just need to decide which uni now :/
haha i know this is kinda like delayed hype.
and i know i should have realised when i was over you,
but i just realised i havent read your blog in 391937219 years.
and i suddenly realised,
oh yeah omg he/she has a blog ! HAHA.
and it feels good.
i know it's so stupid how 90210 always makes me miss you more :/
but yeah it happens every episode lol.

soooo workshop today was fun (:
it's always nice to hear ideas,
and it's very interesting to hear and see how different people from different industries think (:
especially when there's such a mix of nationalities (:
haha there was this korean dude who spoke to me :D
and a girl from hongkong too (:
it was definitely and experience exchanging insights and all (:
then after work i cabbed to novena to meet sarah and sam :D
(triple S)
for dinner at Mos (:
had a nice simple dinner and catch up (haha)
then went to Cotton On (standard)
aaand then home,
cos sarah has to wake earlyyyy tmr to go study lol.
i also have a ton of stuff from the Levi's project to visualise tmr,
which means more drawing and scanning and photoshopping
but i guess all this is good training and good for the portfolio...
(:
will hopefully get the sketches done by morning,
and if i can
i can work at starbucks with sarah!
but if notttt :/
gonna stay home.
meeting chrispy for dinner,
then i shall go get my dress before thtat, if any of the outlets still have it :S
(silly saleswoman who told me it was out of stock everywhere,
only to go at twitter and for ohhellolove to tell me she saw it at Vivo. PFFT)
so yeah that's the plan for tmrrrrrrrrr.
so fast the day after that is friday :)
kinda looking forward to the weekend though it's the weekend before midyears so the boy and like everyone is busy with work or smth,
so it's zzz.
will need to make plans :)
i'm thinking, Climbasia on sat morning :D
(hopefully all the JC and sec sch kids have exams so it will be EMPTY)
:D
okayyyy i've been so caught up with work ytd and today that i forgot entirely that 90210 is out for the week :D
and i think they're looks i'd like to try when i'm out and working haha.
I'm kinda too tired today to give a proper post...
workshop was good,
was kinda dozing off at times,
but it's generally good (:
found out from eileen that zara vivo has THE dress.
pfft.
so annoyed that the woman at Ion told me wrongly tsk.
oh well :S
shall check it out on thurs when i'm free :S
dinner tmr's with sarah sam keagan so it should be awesome (:
(:
then thurs i can check out the dress
then yay TGIF.
ooohkay i'm going to sleep by 12 so i can wake up tmr and not feel like my brain is still in dreamland.
(: goodnight
okay you know i've always liked SOVA (: (gina and nette you can shoot me haha)
since j1, art history and everything has been really interesting to me, and it's so ): that when uni starts i'll have to give it up entirely :/ in an attempt to remain in touch with SOVA, i'm gonna start posting artworks here. artworks by artists whom i find inspiring in every way (:
First official artwork, one which i find so interesting to discuss- Isolated Elements Swimming in the Same Direction for the Purposes of Understanding (1991)
by Damien Hirst (:
It reposes the whole question of life and death,
and how the fish seem to be suspended between both life and death,
since they are still floating in the water,
and at first glance, appear to be very much alive.
bringing the whole concept of how we try to prolong life as humans,
despite knowing that death is inevitable.
this work forces us to sort of face the delusion that we're in,
since the fish at first appear to be alive in the water,
when they are in fact preserved.
love how hirst brings this state across in this work.
different and yet similar to The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living (1991)
i also like how they fish are all in the same state,
while they are of different species
this is interesting (:
and the whole idea that they are all facing one direction says smth about humans,
and i guess we could read into it as how we are all facing death in the end
and in this sense, we're all facing the same direction
the "for the purposes of understanding" though,
i cant quite seem to grasp how this concept is brought across....
but i'm thinking about it (:
so yeah (: first artwork, more to come ! :D
Dug this up from a year ago- (lol)
For boyfriends,
♥♥♥ What girls really mean
1. Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
2. Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the football before helping around the house.
3. Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don’t Do It!
4. A Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer quickly to No 9 for the meaning of nothing.)
5. That’s Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That’s okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
6. Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you’re welcome. (I want to add a clause here - This is true, unless she says ‘Thanks a lot’, which is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say ‘you’re welcome’ - that will bring on No. 7)
7. Whatever: Is a woman’s way of saying, “I'm really fed up."
8. Don’t worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking ‘What’s wrong?’ For the woman’s response refer to No. 4.
9. Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in “Fine”. How about we do the guys in our lives a favour and start saying what we actually mean? NO.
ahaha i think this is kinda true in my case. :P

i've been having some really weird eating habits lately. (this convo should explain it)
samantha ann says: yeah i had salad for dinner just now but it's so weird lol i think i will only eat if it's worth it
(sarah): Black truth ≠ white lies. says: this is bad.
samantha ann says: like the taste and the calories otw i really dont see a point lol like lunch time if there's no food at home and if i'm out and not hungry i wont eat lol so weird
so yeah :S just havent been eating unless it's worth it.
it's psychological i guess?
i should try to eat more though
or else the boyf will be worrying....
okay so apart from terrible eating habits as of late,
today i woke up late.
bad sleeping habits too as you can see.
terrible :S
and then headed to work to help pack and stuff,
then to school to help out with the SSG.
(:
pretty awesome seeing the juniors time and time again though
it doesnt really make me feel the gap
and it's a good feeling.
to have that connection, haha.
i wore a skirt today !!!
and sarah said "you look nice"
HAHAHA.
(okay retarded, i think i'm a bit high cos of the coke i'm drinking,
coke as in coca-cola, lol)
and apparently she mistook me for a teacher O.O
(the flowers are really growing on me)
(:
had dinner at 9 at home,
didnt get to see the boyf today
:S
work tmr is at 730am at duxton hill !
(: workshop for a bank,
so it should be interesting.
customer mandalas and all (:
and it's always interesting to see people's ideas
and see how they think
since they come from different industries (:
apart from work tmr,
there's nothing much..
then wednesday,
there's dinner with sam sarah keagan :D
and i also have the video to produce :S
hope i wont have to chiong so much.....
(:
then thurs, dinner with chrispy (:
cant imagine how different he'll be after 2 weeks of ns! lol.
then it's already TGIF.
i like it when time flies.
friday's also our second month!
time really does fly.

better go zzz now.

hiiiiiiiiiii
today i said hiiii a lot of times lol.
went for mass,
headed to Anatolia turkish place for lunch
(YUMMY)
then walked in Isetan (nothing much seriously)
had yoguru from the Tangs basement
then went to Ion
(went to New Look and Zara, just had a quick look and it was crowded; dont like)
thennnn we trained to lor chuan to go to the cousin's place for teaaaa.
had fun playing with dani and matteo for sure :D
could have skipped the whole uni talk but i guess it's inevitable.
shant go into this now.
then after that we headed home.
had half a quarter pounder with cheese for dinner,
thennn added stuff to the scrapbook and here i am.
(:
havent decided how i should spent the morning, lunch and early afternoon tmr.
have to drop by the office for awhile at least.
then there's survey tabulating to do ...
and pros and cons listing for uni.
then sr in the late afternoon/early evening.
shall wear the floral skirt and black tee :)
haha havent worn smth colourful in ages.
AGES.
(:
feels good wearing it cos it's so happy and the florals are growing on me
(hehe pun)
(:
and it makes me feel more girly haha.
(like i'm not girly/bimbo enough - bet gina/nette will say this.)
aaand i like the two pockets :D okay happy now.
cant wait for tmr,
though tues+wed+thurs will be busybusy cos of a workshop.
mhmm.
okayyy i woke at 1030am today and slept at 2am,
it's 8 hours i know,
but i still feel sleepy lol.
goodnight and have a good week aheaddd yo.
major rant.
i cant stand that 90% of my family is pro nus.
it's like they are psycho-ing me to go to nus,
when my heart is clearly set on ntu.
the only thing holding me back from accepting ntu,
is just some inner paranoia of smth sudden happening to sway me to choose nus.
so i'm just going to wait awhile first.
but in the meanwhile,
i have to tolerate all this pro nus talk.
i cant stand how they compare nus and ntu.
i mean,
comparing nus fass and ntu wkwsci-
it's not even on fair grounds la.
you cant just compare like that.
and nus is a general degree, whereas ntu is specialised!
and then they're telling me that
employers would rather hire nus graduates over ntu.
and i'm like,
are you kidding me,
you think the school is all they care about.
give me a break.
singapore is all about meritocracy.
if you tell me the school is all they care about,
it's like saying nus looks at (any top jc) students and sr students
and no matter what they will choose the (any top jc) students.
seriously !?
and if nus arts vs ntu arts then
at least there's a basis cos it's the same subjects right.
but comm studies and arts is totally different !
and then some relatives also say that nus hall life is most fun
cos ntu is like mostly science courses.
and it's just so contrary to what my older friends are telling me.
sheesh.
i'm just so fed up with this whole traditionalist thinking of nus being all about prestige.
(to think i just watched An Education today.)
i like to believe that ntu comm studies will prepare me better for work
and that's why i want it.
it's exactly what i want to do!
and i'm so annoyed
that i have to talk to my relatives about it
(what more consider their opinions)
and i have to substantiate my decision.
it's my decision,
i dont think i should have to explain to you why.
and then my parents are sitting on the fence about this.
telling me to choose what i want,
and also to listen to relatives' advice.
it's so sickening.
it makes me so fed up.
and i get so worked up about this.
and i figure it's cos being in sr,
we're not one of the top jcs,
we're like 3rd from the bottom.
but still.
i hate it when people look at SR students,
like they're worst then any other JC student from an academically stronger JC.
honestly,
that is just your perception.
when you look at a person based on their school.
there're so many things you should consider !
like EQ and character and all that.
who wants a student who hogs the priority seat in the mrt.
so what if you're from a top jc and your grades are damn good.
there is no direct correlation to you being exemplary in every other aspect
(though there is a typical correlation.)
it's the same thing with the whole nus vs ntu issue.
you cant just expect me to rule off ntu just on the basis that NUS is more prestigious.
if your whole argument is based on the prestige of nus
then it's seriously flawed.
and i am sick-
i am so sick of hearing you tell me that nus is more prestigious then ntu.
i'm from SR, and if you choose any random person off the street they'll tell you any top JC is more prestigious than SR.
but so what.
prestige may be smth,
but i've learnt that it isnt everything.
it definitely isnt everything.

i know i have a tendency to treat my blog like twitter,
but right now i'm sneezing non stop -
thanks to my sis who decided to blow the fan directly at me,
and place her pile of dusty clothes right in front of me.
annoyed.
the roast beef that daddy made for dinner was awesome,
as was the haagen daz macadamia nut and rum&raisin.
and i havent even eaten my Cinnamon Bun from Provence.
i already feel like a pig.
anddd random thought/feeling for today.
i'm gonna miss you (so much) when uni starts :(
more than now.
edit: (11:42pm)
i just killed a cockroach ! (:
told the boyf to remind me to get insecticide once i move to a room at ntu,
lol.
woke up to gina's msg telling me that THE dress,
was at Zara Ion and for $60 !
freakkk.
jumped out of bed (imagine that lol)
rushed to shower and leave (:
reached Zara Ion anddd the retail assist told me it's sold out ):
everywhere.
all the zara outlets.
AWHHH.
but Zara had a ton of other awesome stuff that got me going to the fitting room four times,
each with a bunch of different stuff.
it kinda sucked though,
cos they barely had any S sizes,
and no XS sizes at all.
so i had to try Ms,
which were all too big.
annoying.
sigh.
ended up getting a floral skirt with two cute pockets.
and i am so going to force myself to find a top that matches (lol)
in an attempt to be more girly,
and use less loose-y tops :)
also popped by pull and bear,
and resisted getting a lycra-cotton dark blue tee.
had sandwiches at provence for lunch (yum)
then popped by Rubi for fun,
and happened to find a nice pair of flats for 20,
so i got them (:
(not before walking around the store in them)
then i headed homeeee.
bumped into the parents on the bus (:
and here i am (:
just watched An Education (:
which is pretty nice.
It's sweet and it's British,
so the accents are lovely.
LOVELY.
anddd it's different from an american movie
in a whole lot of ways (:
quite liked it (:
nothing much going on now,
tmrrr-
set to go for flea titan with lynette and regina (:
but mummy just said we're invited to aunt's place for tea :S
so i hope tea means 4 plus :)
haha.
apart from all that,
i cant wait for myes to be over (lol)
okay i'm not normally a dress person,
and i normally will superlike pullovers and shorts and loose flowy tops.
but this zara dress. OWNS.
it's inspired my the miumiu spring collection and it's awesome omg.
freakkkkkkk i want to chiong to 313 tmr.
Friday, May 07, 2010
(:
after work today,
met sam at cityhall (:
walked round raffles city but didnt get anything-
with the exception of
awesome cute unicorn scrapbook paper !!
:D
gonna frame it up so i can put it in my room wall in uni :D
haha, or maybe i'll make a trip to ikea to see if i can find a frame for it.
I should prolly really add some scrapbook-ish stuff to it.
like photos of loved ones.
figured i'll be missing friends, family and the boyf aaalot. :/
anyways,
i'm going going going to accept ntu real soon
(dont know why i'm procrastinating lol)
yeah.
had dinner with the usual 3 (:
at dtf at j8 (:
waited like almost one hour !! (:
but the xlb was worth it :D
happyyyyyy.
worth the calories.
and considering i've been eating a lot less
-like i only eat what i want to eat,
not because i have to eat.
(:
then home sweet home and here i am (:
have some survey results to collate tmr morninggg,
then there's nothing till choir at 430.
gonna return my stuff.
which means i'd officially have left ):
feeling kinda sad about it.
i guess this whole time i still feel okay
cos it's not official.
but after tmr it will be.
and the thought of someone else wearing the robes i used and using the scores i used is pretty sad ):
oh well ):
anywayssssss i'm gna zzz soon (:
&&& i'm gonna watch Ali Education tmr too.
it's this British movie that looks really cute.
yeah.
i cant wait for mid years to be over.
and i'm pretty scared for mids
(for obvious reasons)
eventhough i'm not even taking them...
shucks.
okaaay i havent got much else to say.
i'm looking forward to finishing up work early tmr morning.
hopefully going climbing tmr!
or doing smth that involved sitting in the sun.
maybeeee tan.
if it even works.
i need swimshorts.
(okay random)
or maybe a long overdue trip to SAM.
aaand there's the flea with nette and gina on sunday :)

maybe a nice tee or smth?
(i promise i wont spend more than 20)
