I've been busy but life's been good. And it will only get better :)

a private world

Monday, December 26, 2011

I was thinking recently

that what I need is a private blog. Or a diary, that works too I guess.

There's so many things running through my head at times but I don't have any avenue to let it out

So I keep it to myself, as always. And those thoughts go unexpressed,

and eventually forgotten.

The holidays have been...

dance. work. (shopping.) dance. work. (shopping.)

I wish I could work more to earn more cash though. I really need to curb this compulsive shopping habit of mine :/ Recently I've set up a facebook account selling away some of my pre-loved items though, and I've sold away a few items and got some cash :D .......I think all the cash is spent by now though. I sold away my clothes only to get more new clothes. SIGHHHHHHHH :/

The holidays have been good and I've been having fun and keeping myself busy but somehow I don't feel the motivation to blog anymore. Pure lazy I guess...

Or maybe I'll just keep this space for abstract random whimsical posts whenever I feel like it. Heh.

Sick :(

Wednesday, December 07, 2011

For the past 4 days, I've been having a pretty high fever and a terrible sore throat.

I woke up last Saturday with the fever, and the sore throat was so bad I completely lost my voice and couldn't talk for 3 days :( I thought I could rely on self-medication, water and loads of rest but I was wrong.

After eating panadol over the weekends, I realised I wasn't going to get any better. And I hate the feeling of being sick. I hate lying in bed all day doing nothing and losing the hours to sleep; makes me feel like useless person.

So on Monday I finally decided to drag myself to the polyclinic and see a doc.

And I'm much better now :) Fever has gone down, my voice has returned (but I now have a very bad cough that makes my chest hurt each time I cough) and the headache still comes and goes occasionally.

And I gotta say I love my Mom! She's the cutest mom ever hahaha.

Yesterday morning she asked me what I wanted to eat for breakfast. As I had no voice, I made the shape of alphabets with my body to spell out what I wanted to eat.

Me: (shape of an O)

Mom: O....

Me: (shape of an A)

Mom: A....

Me: (shape of a T)

Mom: T.... What's that? Bread ah? or egg? Do it again?

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why is my mom like that HAHA

Anyway in the end she finally got it and made me a bowl of oats with an egg in it.

And something pretty interesting and fascinating happened while I was eating my oats halfway; I looked down at my egg and realised that it was smiling at me!

Like really really. LOOK!

And swear I didn't do anything to form the smiley face, neither did my mom. I took my whole bowl of oats and went around showing it to my mom and dad, and they were equally surprised and fascinated haha. My mom took lots of pictures of it with her handphone, and said that it's a good sign that it will be a good day and that I will recover soon :)

The egg really made my day :D heh

Exams are over!

Friday, December 02, 2011

Hello world! :D

I am officially a free person again (for about one month or so, before the next academic semester starts....) because, my exams are over! :D

Okay there's actually nothing much to be happy about.

I had my TWC paper yesterday (Wednesday) and it kinda' sucked. Questions-wise it was okay. And since we could bring in any material and even use our laptops to research during the paper, it wasn't hard to churn out content I guess. The tough part is, we had to write 3 essays in like, only 2 frickin' hours. (!!!!!!!)

Like seriously...... too damn rushed. My short stumpy fingers cannot type fast for nuts. Yeah we were allowed to type out our answer. (Some who noticed will know that I type with only....1,2,3,4 fingers. Yup. Didn't practice thequickbrownfoxjumpedoverthelazydog enough when I was young)

It was 10.27am when I embarked on my last essay question. The paper is supposed to end at 10.30am.

(!!!!!!!!) 3 minutes to write an essay HAHA. Win. srsly.

Okay the word limit for that question was 300, but still, 100 words per minute is not exactly an easy feat. Or rather,100 words to make up a succinct, sensible, congruent and impactful paragraph in 1 minute isn't exactly easy. (And I'm not like those super smart and pro Indian scholars......)

So ugh.

Screwed up everything this sem I guess. Stats, bizlaw, twc, all. so. screwed. :/

And I hate the feeling of walking out of the exam hall with my head hung low and feeling like the crappiest thing on Earth, like I could've done better, like I could've been more careful. And if only I did. Sighhhhhhhh

After the TWC paper, Joanna and I went shopping at F21! :D It was 30 November, which means the last day to use our 20% discount vouchers LOL. We walked around the entire store at Orchard Xchange for near 3 hours, but I didn't find any apparel that I was particularly in love with. In the last 10 minutes, we walked into the shoe section and instantly I fell in love with a pair of shoes :D ......I should've just went straight to the shoe section then, could've saved all that time hahaha

Anyway, here are some updates from last week! (pictures are already uploaded on fb but I'll just upload some here again for this poor plain blog's sake heh)

As mentioned, last Saturday we held a surprise birthday celebration for Xavier! Peggy, the super sweet girlfriend who wins The Girlfriend of the Year award, painstakingly and lovingly planned out the surprise for him. She set up a secret event page like, I think more than a month before his birthday? And even secretly liaised and coordinated with all his close friends and clique(s) members (some of which she has never met or spoken to before, but hit up with them by stalking his old photos haha). She even collaborated with his mum to trick him into thinking there was no birthday surprise for him.

So the initial plan was to have a nice picnic/kite-flying session/games at Marina Barrage but unfortunately, we weren't blessed with good weather that day :/ It was raining heavily from morning till afternoon so we had to shift the venue to Esplanade underground instead........which is not exactly a good venue substitute because

1) it's so freaking hot and stuffy

2) there were so many boys practising their dangerous bike stunts, and they might suddenly crash into us if the bike goes out of control

3) although those boys were topless (nice bod), they were very smelly and sweaty. (plus it's not like there was good ventilation.)

4) It's kinda weird to have a picnic at Esplanade underground right...

So anyway, we reached the place at 4.30pm and many of Xavier's other friends were there already, all the different cliques huddled together in little groups. I went with Junhui and Cherie and that was our own supposed little group (haha). Peggy arrived with the blindfolded birthday boy and we surrounded him and sang him a birthday song as he removed his blindfolds (i think? Can't really remember what happened) but yeah anyway, Xavier was really happy and surprised to see so many of his friends from different cliques and stuff gathered together for his birthday :) Someone baked/bought a choclate banana cake and we all had some of it, yumyumzz. And then there was the photo-taking/cam-whoring/poloroid-spamming session....

Our little group, with Peggy, Xavier and one of his friends who didn't really have a "group" so he joined us, heh.

We all headed to Pizza Hut after that for dinner because obviously we can't have a picnic at esplanade underground.

Junhui, the world's largest giant pig, was going on and on about how we should order 20 or more sweet and spicy drumlets (for our table of 4 people) because he can easily eat 10 drumlets on his own -.-

PIG.

Xavier read his birthday wishes booklet, which was professionally compiled and printed in a sweet little glossy booklet by one of his friends. He was so touched, he teared! Awww :')

Peggy and Cherie were like, "Omg don't cry!!!"

Some of his cliques left after dinner and the rest of us walked around Marina Square for a short while before we started buying mixers and ice for the (mass) drinking session, heh.

His other cliques joined us and we drank at an open rooftop at Marina Square. The plan was to drink and get all high and merry before heading to club at Avatar. Peggy's wish for the night was to get Xavier drunk and make him puke LOL. Because she said he's never gotten drunk before. But getting drunk makes you feel all crappy and makes you just wanna die right.....what kind of wish for a birthday boy is that lolololol

Here's Clement. Xavier's army friend, and also my used-to-be neighbour and tuition buddy that I haven't met in 3 years. The world is really small! :)

Pardon Clement, the act cute boy.

Cherie!

Xavier got drunk before midnight HAHAHAHA. He was walking around like a drunk lord and kicking bottles down. Then he began flopping around all over the place and puking on the grass D: Poor boy. And poor Peggy who had to take care of him haha.

Junhui went to get him milk and even offered to let Xavier (cock)slap him in a desperate attempt to make him sober up, but nope, he remained drunk and passed out haha.

In the end, Peggy had to send him home and they didn't club at all. Neither did Junhui and I; I was too tired, so I cabbed home. Junhui sent one of the drunk guys home because they live near each other. And the rest of Xavier's friends went off to Avatar.

And that was the end of the night!

The next day, Sunday, I went to watch Oschool recital with some emix peepzz (:

There were only 5 of us on Sunday. Jinyi, Sherlyn, Charmaine, Bojia and I! Because the rest went to watch the Saturday show.

The girls

....and Jinyi, the lonely senior who had to sit far away from us because he bought his ticket in the second batch and the seating was different :/

Bojia and the (melted) Hersheys' she bought for Qianrui! Qianrui was in the Waacking item. damnhotplsomgggg

Aileen (our current president of Emix) who performed in Zaihar's Hiphop item. The item was awesome btw! ^^ Took a video of it and it's up on fb

Camwhore somemore......

Nicholas and I. Nicholas performed in the locking item. GOODJOB :)

(someone tell me why does my face look so white and ghastly in all the pictures....)

So yup. Oschool recital was really awesome! I took videos of almost every item I think. My camera's memory space was fully taken up by the end of the concert haha. I went home and watched the items over and over again. Love the popping/waacking/locking/freestyle/STREETJAZZ/reggae and all the hiphop! Okay that's like everything haha. Ocrew's performance for the finale was soooooooooooooooo awesome but too bad my camera ran out of space when I was videoing it halfway :///

So inspired to dance again :D Now that exams are over = training for emix production resumes!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY :D Can't wait to dance/learn and improve

I shall leave you with some pictures of the loots I snagged recently!

Say hi to my new shoessssss! :D

It's the one I got from F21!

Brown leather and blue tribal fabric inserts

Jo and Bojia saw it and said,"It's so you, Steph." Heheheheheh

Gotta love the 20% discount voucher heh.

I'm also really happy to have received the denim shirt that I ordered online in a fat brown parcel

lovelovelovelove the distressed frayed trimmings at the bottom~

I'm still considering if I should line one of the pockets with studzz. Hmmmm....

Singha full moon at Attica

Saturday, November 26, 2011

So I had my bizlaw paper yesterday, and it really sucked big time for me.

Poor time management. I sat there and stoned trying to decipher the question and organize my answer. Tickticktick time went by and soon I found myself scribbling down whatever came to mind in a mad fluster, but still not fast enough. It's always typical of me to register essays only at the very last moment, when time is dangerously running out real fast. Then suddenly I'll be enlightened and start writing, but it's all too late by then :(

As usual, I unwillingly surrendered my booklet of incomplete essays to the solemn arresting hands of the invigilator.

And that was it, the end of my Business Law module.

Yet somehow I don't feel jubilant about not having to touch bizlaw anymore. Rather, I wish I had the chance to study harder for it and do it all over again if I could. Ughhhhhh

Okay at least for now there's nothing I can do about it so I just won't think about it.

(sudden change of mood)

Friday night out with the girls at Attica! :D

hehehehe need to destress okay, and I realised that I haven't clubbed in forever.

Singha was having their full moon party at Attica and Xinyi had guestlist slots so we went :)

Free flow was from 10-11pm (geez what a bad timing) so we jew-ed off the free beer. Seriously, beer is damn sick because it makes me feel so fat and bloated and it makes me wanna keep burping like a bull frog. And I think beer should only be drank when there's chicken wings/pizza to complement it. I don't know how those old ah peks can sit at coffee shops drinking beer from day to night and night to day.......little wonder why their bellies are huge.

Oh oh kim and I met a damn creepy ah pek in the club!

We were dancing together happily and noticed this old man (I swear he's at least above 65) dancing not far away from us. He was dancing in an a-go-go (his "nian dai") style and had a really humsup (perverted) look on his face.

Then

we realised he was gravitating towards us!!! D:

Like wtf seriously no kidding. He started following us around! I was so freaked out I literally screamed and ran away HAHA. Kim was damn scared too. Xinyi's friends were laughing at us and said that we've got our #1 fan -.-

Peekchazzzzz :D

I love Peggy's eyes seriously. Just look at her huge pretty eyes and compare them to the two slits on my face......

Kim looking as red as a pikachu/an-pan man as usual hehehe

pretty jeeeeeaaaaaannnn

I was damn shocked when I saw this limousine, I was excitedly jumping and pointing at it haha. Sorry luh people suaku... Peggy and Jean has seen it before so they weren't surprised. But hey how often do you get to see a limo in Singapore!?

My face looks white and ghastly here. I wonder why.

Ivan, Xinyi's (shameless) boyfriend hahahahah

I suddenly remembered that Kim and I did a pretty crazy thing last night lol.

We were in the female toilet and we needed to pee like superrrfuckingg badly, but the queue at the female toilet was really long :/ Like there were about 10 people infront of us.

And you know girls, when they are drunk, they won't be done with the toilet so soon.

They will pee/puke/wail/sit on top of the toilet bowl and cry over their lost boyfriend and refuse to come out until their friends have to come and drag them out.

So I casually said to Kim, "eh let's go use the male toilet!"

And Kim was just like, "yeah okay let's go!"

So off we went HAHA.

At first we barged into the male toilet but the cubicles were taken up so we rushed out of the toilet again. But there was no queue at all in the male toilet, damn tempting to go back eh HAHA. So we thought that once someone comes out of the cubicle we'll just rush in.

So we did, for the second time LOL.

We just barged in and the guys were like "Wrong toilet! Next door! Next door!" but we just pushed past them and locked ourselves up in the cubicle HAHAHAHAHA.

.........I don't know how we made ourselves do that, seriously! And I only remembered about it after we were done clubbing and were outside the club waiting to go home. Kim and I exploded in laughter when we recalled it LOL

I hope you don't judge me/see me in a different light. I guess alcohol gives people a surge of unrivaled audacity at times.

I'm pretty tired of clubbing already actually. Last night I was so stoned and tired, I literally stood on the dance floor and.....slept. The music was blasting so loud the the sound wave vibrations were really hurting my eardrums. I plugged my fingers in my ears and stood there sleeping (I must've looked like an idiot, I know).

But tonight we're going again I guess, Avatar this time. For Xavier's birthday! :) Peggy has planned up a huge surprise for him; really sweet gf! Even sweeter than me HAHAHA

Anyway, recently I've been possessed with a fierce interest in pretty denim shorts. I bought 2 pairs of highwaisted shorts recently and studded them myself, super fun heheheh :)

Pictures of my masterpieces for you! :D

I got the first pair from Jaslyn. It's handmade from a pair of Wranglers and was imported from the USA so it was pretty pricey :/ But it was so pretty and unique I just had to get it

The above picture is the original! Blue and purple is one of my favourite colour combinations (I like blue and red too) so this pair is perfect for me ;)

The picture below is after I studded it. pretty? :D

Bought this pair a few days ago only, I live the bleached splatters! ^^ And the frayed details at the bottom.

And the cutting is perfecttttt :D

Here's what it looks like after studding the left pocket.

Pretty zilian I know, but it's my blog so whatever! C:

K gotta rush out now for Xavier's surprise!
