fix this mess.

So lazy to blog.

Hi mom. :o

I will try to blog everyday

Hi! This is a really random post, nothing substantial.
No expectations please.

In conjunction with international peace day (i think?), BJay gave me a flower, and gave Hong chocolates (damn unfair ok!) *calms down and tries to be less demanding. *deep breath. haha ftw so drama. Oh and cos we're so so indecisive, he printed a whole list of restaurants around the area for us to choose from, to have dinner at. The things my friends do...

=_=

Dyu see anything out of place in my bag? Dyu? Dyu?
*big gleamy eyes*

Well, i'm pretty sure not many of you would've noticed what was wrong with the contents of my bag. =_= There - I've taken the liberty to draw your attention to what was wrong. Le sigh.

Peanuts in my bag. Can you believe that? PEA-freakin-NUTS.


From my binging night out with 'em two freaks :D I could've sworn I lost a few peanuts but I couldn't find them so I assumed they fell on the ground. Well, least I found them the next day! :D I actually showed this picture to a few people and no one except L noticed. -.-

L: The only reason why we're best friends is cos I can see things that even your family won't realise *points at peanuts in bag.
Me: *shy

omg love this bb theme max. Just realised it matched my watch that day.

ftw bimbo max. All pink =_=


Pink.
Let me tell you a story about that colour (and my love-hate relationship with it).


I had mid-teen crisis when I bought this bag a couple of years ago. =_= I can't remember what was in my head when I made this impulse purchase. All my best purchases in life have been the ones I spent long and hard nights contemplating, multiple re-visits to stores and re-trying and such (okay I agree that they may have been a tad bit more expensive to have required that much and necessary, mind you, thought processes).

Then my Godfather bought me a pink iPod for my birthday (actually two - it's a long story). So anyway I bought a series of covers and settled for the pink one finally, cos it simply matched the iPod. I mean, think about it. Pink center button on iPod, with bright yellow cover. =_= Yeah. Ok.
Then I got my lap top, and was hunting all round town for a cover I liked. Couldn't find one, but I found a keyboard protector (choice of colours: transparent (boring), yellow (dirty fast) and pink); ended up buying the pink one. Then came the day I found the cover for my lap top in the material I preferred (yay! Although poor mommy, Arthur & Rach had to deal with my longwinded-ness of trying and such). =_= So I picked pink again, cos my freaking keyboard protector was pink already, ftw how to pick different coloured cover? *upset*

Then there was my bb cover, which was originally blue, and pretty at that. Then there was a small tear. So i bought a new one. And from that shop, only the pink one looked pretty =.= Yeah. My life with the colour pink is very.... =_='


Anyway, my point was that my new camera (not so new anymore) was supposed to come in the colour pink. Why? Cos the black one was so normal, the gold one was horrible (entirely personal opinion), and pink (or purple; whatever rocks your boat) kinda stood out. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, I got it in black instead.

You can choose the camera in one of three colors - golden, purple or black. This model has replaced the well-known PowerShot SX200 IS and is designed for the category of users who need high performance coupled with a compact casing, as well as a wide range of advanced technologies and customizable controls.

Model PowerShot SX210 IS is equipped with original wide-angle Canon lens with a 14x zoom, 14.1-megapixel matrix and image processor DIGIC 4. In addition, the new ability to record movies with stereo sound in the resolution of 1280×720 pixels, a process which can be monitored on a widescreen LCD screen PureColor II G with 3-inch (7.6 cm). Due to the coating of tempered glass LCD screen PureColor II G is particularly strength and subtlety of its design causes the increase of contrast and sharpness in shooting and playback. All these features are implemented in an elegant metal case that fits easily in your pocket.

~Review from here

Yes, it may be a tad bit boring (colour-wise), but I kid you not, it's a really awesome compact camera! Definitely better than my last Olympus one. Of course, those of you who know me and my previous DSLR fetish, the capability of this camera is nothing compared to the 40D, but heck, this one can change shutter speed, aperture, flash output level, etc etc, and takes video in full HD?

Yes I gave up on carrying the DSLR around. Anw the woman has one now, so I no need to bring and she has a good camera thingamajig going on :D So anw, I would totally recommend this camera if you're not looking for DSLRs. :) :) the joy it brings me. *claps hands* Yeah, I went to many shops to try this camera out, and to find the cheapest deal. Turns out, YS is always the best, no matter what I think or say :)

So this explains the title of today's post.

The pink story was totally random and oh yeah. L was happy that I finally got something black (instead of pink). Evil friend.

Errands tomorrow. Gotta start packing my room before I get shot dead.

I hope the sunrise will not still find you angry

Oh this was the day I called off movie date and got Mars ice-cream from C instead.

So this' the pair of nerd glasses I got. Like finally (after 7 shops).
Thank you CalvinKlein for ending my mom's misery of hunting for 'em glasses.
Makes me feel smarter. Yes I live in my own bubble.


Right now, it's back to skype nights with C and also my France-bound girl.

Oh for the love of the internet and all things French (namely handbags).

Tomorrow morning 8am - Ms. Win's class. Need to sleep nao. :0

Need to run errands. Oh for the love of LRTs & Touch'N'go cards.



I have no idea what I want.

Right now I've got (nearly) everything I want.

It's about what I now need.

Have I mentioned that my swimming ability (or so I call it) has severely deteriorated after just two weeks? Sad case much.

kthxbai.

Half of my heart

Half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
Half of my heart takes time.

Neroticism

All these erratic possibilities of next week is bringing about neuroticism.

Help me.

My current coping mechanism? BBM 24/7 =_=

Which tier?

So many things I wanted to blog about; so many, I forgot em all. =_=

Yah. If only someone invented this device to read my mind and blog what goes through my head while i'm driving, I would've written at least a thousand blog posts in the last couple of weeks.

Classes four days a week (if I get into the elective class, that is); otherwise THREE DAYS ONE WEEK. HELLO HELLO HOLIDAY-MOLIDAY. Finally some structure amongst the uncertainty. *phew. Oh and guess who's my new course Mate (ok not classmate but yeah, doing same course la; how unexpected); alternatively, guess who's my (maybe maybe) new found Uni Mate (quotes his dad "you tell me what time you wanna exercise! I will make sure he wakes up to exercise!") haha.

True, the uncertainty was (and still is) a major blessing, and experience, but the last few weeks have been a major roller coaster of emotions. From expecting nothing, to being given hope; to being given unexpected opportunities; to actually getting it; to volunteering to organize the second TC (haha yeah I know right. =_=); to finding out (this morning) how R-shaw may just be the bestest place (THANK YOU JESUS), in contrary to my initial disappointment (!); to money matters; to emotional unreadiness; to UNCERTAINTY (I cannot stress more on how much stress uncertainty is causing me). SO ANYWAY, i'm just glad that there's finally some structure in my life now. HELLO CLASSES. I've missed you. Rawr./

Haha every time when classes start before the semester, I am super duper excited. Midway, I try to STAY excited; at the end? I'm just excited it's coming to an end, or over with (FINALLY). And the cycle repeats itself in a very routine manner. Oh and at the end of every semester, I tell (or scold) myself that in the next semester, I'd start working on projects earlier, do constant revision, cut back on late nights, quit procrastinating etc. This cycle? Its repeated itself like for the last (at least!!!) TEN years of my life. GG.

*whoppdeedoo

kthxbai.

Oh i've been saying "GG" so much that now when I make a faux pas, my mom goes "ah GG la you".

GG.

Uncertainty sure is a pain.

Six billion humans - one of them's right for you.

And also cos they called me at 2am in the morning to say "I miss you, let's go shopping".

Lol.

Every once in a while, we need a miracle

Gossip Girl: We make our own fortunes, and call them fate. And what better excuse to choose a path than to insist it's our destiny? But at the end of the day, we all have to live with our choices ... no matter who's looking over our shoulder.


“Life is truly a ride. We’re all strapped in and no one can stop it. When the doctor slaps your behind, he’s ripping your ticket and away you go. As you make each passage from youth to adulthood to maturity, sometimes you put your arms up and scream, sometimes you just hang on to that bar in front of you. But the ride is the thing. I think the most you can hope for at the end of life is that your hair’s messed, you’re out of breath, and you didn’t throw up.”

—	Jerry Seinfeld

Time to breathe in, breathe out, hang on to the bar in front of me and brace the weather. =_="". And keep hoping. OH I GOT NERD GLASSES TODAY, albeit only at the seventh (or was it eighth) shop, literally. Shop hopping for me glasses. =_= Goodness. OH AND I BOUGHT ANOTHER BOOK :D

/edit: I'm a firm believer that if I've prayed for something and if it doesn't turn out right, it wasn't meant to be right. God help me. Please.
