Mwah, I'm back from HK and shopped enough to drive my dad to bankrupcy. Joy > guilt so Yay =D
I haven't gone back for 4 years, could have gone in 05 but there was the German trip.
Nonetheless, shopping in HK is so much more satisfying than Singapore, I love how they have this huge collection of imported fashion brands and things are definitely cheaper for the same goods sold here. They don't have GST system so HURRAY ! =D
I got myself addicted to this show aired on of their channels, Dal Ja's Spring which is a really terrible k-drama, purely written to fulfill women's romantic fantasies, squishy pink powdered marshmallow plots. Hot male lead and mushy goosebumps-inducing O.O scenes. Oh well, I really really wouldn't mind dating Lee Min Ki, the hot male lead =DD
On second thought, it cant be that terrible, considering how high i get after each episode. WAH.
Basically you have Chae Rim acting as Dal Ja, this 33 year old woman who's successful yada yada but lacks a boyfriend. She's been dumped by other men due to her rather naive nature and decided to hire the male escort Kang Tae Bung (darling Lee Min Gi) as revenge towards one of her exes which is her colleague. That resulted in a love contract, and the rather lonely Dal Ja finds herself with entwined between two men later on. I mean, rather predictable plots and it's the whole older women-younger men pairing again though i thought the chemistry was rather good.
I've always quite like Chae Rim ever since the Four Sisters which was eons ago but you know, she has that likeable baby face and perky smile. Lee Min Gi is just beautiful !! But GAH, i can't upload the few gorgeous pictures of him. I should consider changing my blog host, vox is rather restrictive despite being idiot-proof.
perhaps it's tempting to think that money is exchangeable for things in life, too many things in fact.
That's when I fall. Painfully.
Well, Pirates 3 this saturday. Captain Jack and Iri <33 =D
I kowtow on my lack of bloggage on you guys, not that I don't love you, just that none of you read it so =P .
Hmm, let's see. NIMI'S EYE. Two weeks ago, on thursday, i accompanied the poor soul cos she has this Abscess on her eye (v.v. painful) and sat with her in TTSH for like, several hours ? Hahaha, she showed me her poly presentations and i'm still v. amused by that manta-stripping-poor-victim Sexual Harassment slide and her Jason Collection. Yes dear, he looked hot dancing with that Bushwalla person who grabbed his crotch wayyyy to often.
shal was made the assistant director of one of the plays during the drama plays season. Didn't get to watch it in the end cos the friday tickets were completely sold out and kel&G couldn't make it for the other days ( I hate CCA scheming ways to make sure all their tickets are sold out =(( ). I'm sure it all went well though I couldn't be present. <3
This week's coming ICS night! Pfft, i have a class outing thingie, the school compulsory one that I can't skip. We're going to Night Safari, can you believe it? Actually I've never been there before but WAH, friday night, gone like this. Will be meeting Raihana at AMK Hub for lunch before the safari trip though, kind of happy, haven't seen that woman for ages since JAE. THen again, i'll have to miss ICS night where Iri will be gathering and I-Won't-Be-There-Again. =(
I think that's all important stuff. Oh, and Parvie, Letch, shal and I are all in Writers' Inc now. =D
one begins with great inspiration about doors opening up in their lives (and i admit this came from my dear friend LH), how suddenly it fits so perfectly on what happened and the slightly giddy mixtures of euphoria being swirled up in my head. It leads to a headache but, big love.
How I open my doors, allowing people to step in, out, their steps and movements slurring up leaves in messy piles. How the length of their presence affects my thoughts, emotions and personality (certainly I wouldn't be so English-y if not for K). And when the presence is gone all of a sudden, the reliance dependence that one's so used to stripped away, abandoned.
Well, what comes around goes around. Like, karma for instance.
I'm slightly fearful of doing mean, inconsiderate actions and much as i would like to identify self as agnostic, the insistent ring of KARMA KARMA at the back of my head is as bad as fearing hell if I do not submit self into the hands of god. I don't deny that i fear aging, i fear being old, becoming an article of the past, forgotten, fear being a prick in others' eyes. There are so many things that I want to be in denial about, to reject the very existant of it but ... it's There.
So my point, I suppose this little issue today, one that I thought I did a pretty strong analysis of was half a flop. I try and Try and TRY, to be objective, to view each things detached from my emotions but the little details are always, forgotten, if not ignored. Perhaps this is why we grow as humans, perhaps this little tryst will be incomparable to a bigger events, perhaps things just remained as it is. It is quite interesting (QI !! ) how, we acted as though nothing happened once the problem resolved with a simple discussion and what distilled was a much stronger, concentrated serum.
I dare say I've matured a little.
And Chase is big love, it makes me teary when i see how he managed to gain Housie's respect with his wit (finally!).
my great love for mr laurie has expanded, to unimaginable widths and depths. It's just OH MY GOD, HE IS HUGE <33333.
oh and " a bit of fry and laurie" is a classic and it's beautiful. mr laurie looks better now then than.
Like, Mr. Laurie, take me as your second wife, just let me stare at you wistfully as you make the world laugh like fluffy potatoes. <3
Shall call him Hugh from now, first name basis, love.
I watched Bjork's Pagan Poetry and Cocoon. It's so ... surreal and the I don't know, am in a daze now. And her music's almost twenthieth century style, rather, atonal and the vocals seems to clash with the impending melody.
O.O
Even more painfully, how can Bjork's works Not Be twenthieth century style. My head's a mess.
I do expect something out of it since a a fifth of a decade was spent on it and it seems that gut feeling was right. That edginess, burning unfufilled desire that it lacked lustre, the little details to bring out the flavour and gist that would make it so much more intriguing to listeners. I'm starting to doubt my abilities again, it burns to think that I've yet to Perfect something after copious amount of time spent despite knowledge of it's ugly presence, that I'm a terrible musician.
Life.
Exploration of other things must start and almost spontaneous decisions made. It scares me, sponaenity, the lack of organisation of procedures and thoughts. It's delightful to see it spilling when you need that spark, that idee, making everything seem all bright and shiny at once. But a spontaneous action to generate, rouse a public agreement on things you deeply believe in, it's so foreign and that feeling just digs into your brain. Agreement, acception, simple things that people desire to attain from a company, i'd rather be an introvert to avoid that void feeling within the skull.
Zenn amazes me, he can reach two octaves above middle C, I Fail. XD
Ah, was just done with House's new episode. It's Beautiful <33 The whole Huddy flying back to New Jersey from Singapore (!!!) and the medicine was good. It's really intuitive, you don't need to be a doctor to tell good medicine from bad! I can't believe that people at TWP forum are saying she's a "Hot Asian Flight Attendant", like !!!.
Anyway, I have never seen Cam as such a sexed-up creature. This episode is definitely a New Cam and CHASE, YOU MUST LEARN TO SAY NO, PROFESSIONALISM!!! Poor Chase and sad kitty.
I do secretly hope that Robin and Wilson end up with a nice relationship though Wilson/House is certainly as good.
Life is good, many many good music to muse over.
Admiration
1. ANGST TAKES OVER MY LIFE TILL I NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN.
2. Reduces me do stuff that I find incomprehensible till now.
3. Spurs (stresses me to do so?) me on as perfection takes over.
4. It's obvious I have no self-love.
Love
1. What is love? ( lust is Really another matter).
Did you order Girl Scout cookies this year? What kind?
Chocolate mint, nothing beats that except the rip-off bit.
RJ
So I woke up at 6am after a week plus of sleeping till 11am, met up with the Anderson Troop and we proceeded to walk to RJ despite fears of getting pelted by vegetables by Rafflesians. Since there were less than fifty second intakers, Orientation 2 was low-profile to the possibility of non-existance. No instruction of any sort and we wandered around from one end to the other of the school for quite a while before a J2 OGL gave us directions.
First, we had a two hour talk by the the principal, school admin and various paperwork that required immediate attention. It was really stressful, especially since the P. mentioned how difficult things will be for us to fit in and how much catching up we need to do and possibilities of Not Getting into any CCAs and poor Parvie was chattering as it was really cold =( Then we were thrown to the assigned OGL right after, mine was this nice boy named J.
Btw, RJ is really big and I dread walking to classes.
So all of us had to join our "buddies" to their lesson till 12.30 and unluckily, his timetable was math lecture, one hour break followed by math tutorial. GOD, the last thing I want to remain in contact with yet MWAHHH. His classmates were nice, said hi to a few people initially before the Socialising Angel within died in an hour. I really try to make friends but this whole pretentious facade just kills me, I Try, I TRY but it can't be sustained. Math lecture was ended with me all confused and rather frightened since they've begin the usage of graphic calculators and those babies are hell to use.
Regardless, I'm really glad I've got shal, Parvie, Letch, the 5 from 6A'02 and random Andersonsians that looked really elated to see you XD I'm want to be the hyper happy person that can get through the day without being cynical but it doesn't happen with random strangers. Haha, Lowell was happily introducing his friends to me when Eric, SJ, Esther and I met up after math tutorial. I DO hope that I'll be assigned to his class and he stays there. They seemed nice, altruistically nice.
O2.
J. wasn't able to meet me in the morning and I Apologise for being overly-clingy and dependent but MWAH, it's impossible for me to simply Locate someone whom I've never met in the OG =( Yea, so we spent two hours in the hall, doing the usual Orientation at fast-forward : School song, cheers which I never caught, mass dance ... ??? Then we were sent off doing the external activities and we were assigned to Suntec Centre. It involved us taking pictures of 25 scenes where we did most except for those horrendously atrocious ones. It had to be the humidity and the general discomfort thus most of us were just weary and uninitiated.
I'm just a horrible 2nd intaker who refuses to make friends in my OG seriously, but whatever, it's not quite likely that i'll have anything to do with them except for a few friends made. And I think Hadley-Hullett is a cool House name =)
And I'll be tagging J. the entire day for class tomorrow, Please, don't let there be math again. =(
me is happy! hahaha, you're the first person to actualyl comment here. It's slightly pathetic but YAY =D read more
