life's like that

I admire street photographers.


Anyway, searching for photos for references on the internet reminded me of STUDIO GHIBLI MUSEUM!! One of the biggest reasons why I signed up for the trip actually. I wasn't excited when I found out I got in two days ago, but now I am!! Photos galore haha!


Maybe I'll find some day during the hols to get my butt out of the house and take my camera out for a stroll (aiya I don't have a dslr la). It was fun chatting with strangers the other time at boat quay/clark quay after AHSchoir's syf! Anybody wants to follow me? ):


Going to the zoo with Riane, watching movies, baking stuff and random trips with the rest get me excited! =D


IF ANYBODY WANTS TO DO SOMETHING CRAZY/ COMPLETELY OUT OF YOUR MIND/ GO SOMEPLACE SPECIAL....PLEASE TELL ME I'M ITCHING TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT!


Monday - Friday next week would be spent at the Art Room, I think. I don't think I can complete it by friday but we'll see how it goes. I'm still racking my brains to think of a nicer composition but my brain ain't working well )=


My daddy's leaving Singapore again, I'll send him off this time cause its the holidays afterall ^_^ Its rare for all four of us (mummy daddy brother me) to eat lunch together ):


Meanwhile, I'll try to make full use of time. Catch up with my work, do more sketching (I suck at it currently), make time for my friends, give myself some personal space, aim to finish playing moonlight sonata mvt.3 (or other pieces), and continue blogging frequently.



Life's good. (btw, LG stands for lucky goldstar)

Its great to get outta school, and I somehow miss picking the pong pongs :P

HELLO I'M A LEAN MEAN PONG PONG PICKING MACHINE! =D


So the 'voluntary' community work wasn't that bad afterall. The 11 of us picked PONG PONG FRUITS on the muddy mangrove swamps using plastic gloves and big black bags.

Most of them were half-buried in the muddy swamps and decayed, TERRIBLY ant-infested and filled with tons of insects.

I made a new friend Jacqueline (the only girl there) and we picked up aloooottt of brown husky pongpongs, I reckon the amount is more than the guys' ones LOL. We even ripped two pongpong plants off the ground, they're considered weeds anyway. :D

My legs are... immobile from all the squatting. The walk around Tampines 1 for self-entertainment made it all worse =(


ALRIGHT SO ITS 5 HOURS CLEARED, NO MORE VCW FOR ME, EVER! (I might consider CIP though its kinda fun an accomplishing!)

Photos soon,



I'm gonna play the piano for many hours straight cause my mom refuses to take the guzheng out for me cause she claims I'll spend hours on it just like the piano -__-

So I don't really care, I'll play the piano then.

(my brother's making macaroons again!)

TATA :D



Hellyeah I'm going to Japan! (this has got nothing to do with the picture)

Glad the interview (reallllyy long ago) went fine, hopefully it won't be affected by the darned H1N1.

Vhapsody @ VJC with a few of the girls after slacking around at anna's; the journey there made me perspire a hell lot since it was my first time taking 25 from my school to her house and the supposed 10-minute walk turned into a 20 minute walk. -.-

Main objective was to support Terie & Siyun for the CO concert, we saw alot of AHSpeeps at VJ! :D



Asked my mom to dig the guzheng out but its still in the store :/



Pictures another day, I'd be quite busy next week. I predict tomorrow'll be a horrible day at the Mangrove Conservation areas (not the beach, I think). Don't have track pants.

Some tag replies, then =)

Gomez - Notice

Really good graphics! The video's fanmade ^_^


There are surprisingly some nice songs in some Minstry of Sound albums I've got in the computer, just like the song above.

Jose Gonzalez - Heartbeats
Annie - Heartbeat
Lily Allen - Smile
Kisschasy - The Shake
Gaelle - Give it back
Angus & Julia stone - Paper aeroplane



Well my computer is awesome =D

Songs I've never heard of ALWAYS pop up on my itunes when I type something into the searchbox. Cause there're so many songs in my com I don't even know what I have. At least it saves me the trouble of downloading songs when I see interesting song titles or artists on blogs or websites :P

Just that it lags my computer up terribly, the photos and pictures too D:



I'm off. ah freak saturday morning.
Today: back to school for art. Still feeling lethargic.


I'M FREAKING DOWN FOR VCW (VOLUNTARY COMMUNITY WORK) THIS SATURDAY FROM 730 AM FOR 5 FREAKING HOURS.

AT THE BEACH. (alright, at least I like the beach)


Hell, it isn't even VOLUNTARY. All I did was to be late for 5 times in a whole entire semester.

AND, I seriously didn't know we had to go for assembly this week and they marked me late for walking into the school at 7:50 @#$&*^/.

My brother laughed at me when he heard that and went, "I think I was late for more than 5 times back in VJ and I never ever got caught HAHAHAHA" (please, we still get caught for our attire -.-)

Our school probably thinks the students are trying to pon school or idk what, this is just so dumb ): Voluntary work shouldn't even be forced upon us. But then again, I have no choice cause my conduct would remain as "bad" until I complete that 5 hours -___-

oh, and there'll be an entire bus of students with me that day HAHA.

Diana+ & Diana F+ pool
check that link out, the effects of the photos taken with these cameras are quite cool. (a few more below)




Holga ^
that's a holga, I kinda miss those film cameras! My dad used to have one that takes the best photos on earth but it got lost during our star cruise trip a few years back. Not to mention that thing costs 2k and its difficult to find 'em. Its still greatly missed O:

Hmm, I wouldn't mind trying one of the above! They're inexpensive toy cameras, maybe I should add that to some sort of wish list. My birthday's in a month and 5/6 days!



light leaks


tulips






wedding




Pikapika
light doodles! Its almost like those photos where people try to write words with sparklers, just that this site has videos and they use torches.




EBP (Early Bird Programme)

Great. I'm down for it next term, and I have to reach school by 7 - 715 for TWO WHOLE WEEKS. which means I've got to leave the house by 630 (its normally 645). But I seriously didn't know assembly was compulsory today & Ashiqin and Yao were late anyway :P

Anyway that's for the 4th time and I think they counted less, which I don't mind of course =D



School from 8 - 9 today, but we stayed back till 1030 to discuss PW.
Some june holiday assignments are kinda dumb, but I MUST stick to my promise!





Kaikai quick come!!
Just felt like writing these before I sleep:

NO MORE ECONS/GEOG/MATHS/SOVA!!!

(maybe its a good thing to have the midyears before june afterall :D)
Just moving the 5 videos up here =D my favourite ones!

(come on its just 8 minutes of your life!)



Family guy - Songs named after a girl
Well, my favourite one's mandy :P




Family guy - Barry Manilow
Secret fans of barry manilow who don't wanna admit it. HAHAHA!! Look at them screaming like fanboys at the end .__.

"you couldn't pay me to go to that concert!"
"heeehee you know what we should do? we should go! Just as a goof!"
"that'll be hilarious!"

to...

"I love Barry Manilow"
"OHMYGODHE'S AWESOME!"
"I'VE GOT EVERYTHING HE'S EVER RECORDED!"
"YEAH ME TOO!!! IN THE CAR!!"
"WE HAVE TO GO TO THE CONCERT!"
"we are GOING to the concert!!!"



Family guy - over
The trouble of walkie-talkies... "over".

"you know what? You're a jackass. I don't want to hang out with you anymore when this is over."
"when this is what? over."
"that's it, my sentence is over."
"Your sentence is what, Brian? over."
"My sentence is!! .. wait a minute, I have to say OVER even if the sentence ends with the word OVER?"
"The word what, Brian? Over."
"Oh I see the wire."
"You see the wire what, Brian? Over."
"OVER!!" *pulls string and stewie*



Family guy - Democracy kicks in
Stewie and Brian tries to get discharged from the army.
Ignore the back.... -.-

"alright, shouldn't be too hard to get ourselves kicked out"
"Right, we've just got to convince them we're not army material"
"ready? lets do it"
*gay actions*
"look at how GAY we are! I am so GAY with my..GAYNESS!"
"me too!! I'm..I'm a homo!"
"any room for one more????" (gay officer)
"hell yeah!" (stewie in gay voice)

"NO I DON'T WANT TO GROSS YOU OUT! OUCH!!!! that was for real" (lol)



Family guy - Peter's wallet
(what a smart way to find your wallet)

"..get the scent and find the guy that smells like me!!!"
"Peter, this is ridiculous!"
"come on boy!!" *stuffs brian's nose*
"STOP! STOP! That's DISGUSTING! You're an idiot, you know that????"
"...wa...wait a minute"
"Your wallet's over there."






Alright its 1 am i've got school tomorrow from 8 - 9 am.

my eye hurts like shit and its red and gross.

goodnight!

yeah you got me screamin' out loud


Anna saves my wallet for the week!!

So I bought heavenly fries to celebrate the end of the examinations, been a long time since I've eaten fries. Damn I'm missing out on all these simple pleasures! (not missing on the chocolates and candies though)

Indulging in other forms of pleasure which include watching family guy, sitting in front of the telly for hours, text-ing my friends, and just basically slacking like hell =D



Lets put aside the SOVA paper. MY EXAMS ARE OVER BABY!!!!!!!

OVER!

Met Anna at Tampines mall after that, I need to get my phone, QUICK!

(kaikai lets get rid of all our unwanted clothes and get new ones!)
(RIANE, we're meeting up a few days later and its YES to the zooie!)
(XUANEE make your mom say yes I'm itching to bake/make sth!)
(TERIE seeyou again on friday and I'm gonna haunt you at home!)

ANYBODY WANTS TO GO SHOPPING WITH ME FOR A PULLOVER HOODIE! ^_^




I've already got my holiday plans yay back to family guy!

Hmm I've got to brainstorm for ideas for the painting and I'm gonna play the piano for hours tomorrow!

bye I'll be back for something nicer :P
The self is what one knows best and least at the same time


Words can be restricting sometimes.

There are always tons of things still stuck in my chest even after a nice long chat. Or maybe an extremely long letter addressed to nobody.

Emotions are wonderful yet silly things.




Today's an "L" day and it spells lethargic and nothing else.

I've got my SOVA paper in 4 hours but I can't bring myself to read anything cause today's an L day.

I seriously, really (argh such restricting words) love Marc Quinn's ideas and concepts behind his sculptures though. They're real yet fake and fake yet real, thought provoking, no?



Eternal spring: Sunflowers

ASHLEY & ALICIA'S 17th BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION!




O: birthday girl's face being poked by a straw lol!


here's the one anna took :D (unfortunately ali and her face got cut off. but still better than the one I took LOL!)


THE GIGANTIC MILK TEA ON THE HOUSE (only for birthday peeps!)







xinhui & jiaying baked a (delicious) oreo cake for ashley as a surprise! So while Alicia and ashley were away in the toilet, both of them sneaked in and lighted the cake! :D


the squealing ashley about to hug jiaying/xinhui when she came back :P


and then we gave them their presents.

ALICIA: "OMG WHY PUT THAT UNGLAM PHOTO OF ME!!! DON'T PUT THIS ANYWHERE!!!" D:


:D


Alicia: "ANNA WHY NEVER FEED ME ):" (greedy as usual!)


yummmmmmm..


=D






I like this candid!


since annia wasn't there, we took a photo with a photo of her!








A few shots of the scrapbooks kaiying and I did!

we couldn't stick in all the 92 photos cause the book was already really fat by then D:
All these were done before we met them so...SORRY WE WERE LATE! ):

Memories of a lifetime =)




Catching up with Riane last night was great, too :)


I posted this only because it looks like a chicken!


Riane's curry rice!


My chicken don!

We ordered more sushi and chawanmushi and drinks too!
There's so much more I need to say besides "I missed her so much!"
We're meeting up soon :)





In the end, AHS was still the best place ever. I miss it, I really, really, really do.

Its not only the girls (cause we meet up every fortnight), but my other friends as well D: 2d, 4L, choir.... actually I miss Annia alot. If you're reading this, I'm gonna call you up really soon k ):

You know, the friends I've made in AHS are the ones I can call "friends for life", but the ones in SR just aren't close to me. At all. Its not a matter of time, I really can't explain.





Sorry for the lack of words, I'm sure all of you understand.


I shall study for art now.
