STARDUST.
i've been wanting to watch this for eons
and i finally have!
it is LOVEEEE!
it made sister and i go 'awww' and smile stupidly to ourselves
once the credits started rolling,
albeit the predictable storyline and the melodrama.
the effects of the media on young naive impressionable minds.
but right now let me revel in the beauty and fantasy,
cooped up in my little bubble,
for just a little while longer,
will you?

my blog has officially become neglected.
for two main reasons
one- i highly doubt the presence of avid readers any longer,
with everyone having so many things on their plates.
even i myself have taken blog-reading off my to-do list
two- the transition to university has brought forth so much change
that everything becomes blog-worthy
which essentially, ironically,
has reduced the value and blog-worthiness of events
and i have a sudden urge to type
so i turn to my poor neglected blog
(which apparently fulfills its sole purpose
because i suddenly don't feel like blogging anymore =X)
hahah.
schizophrenic.
thoughts from yesterday-
sometimes i end up dragging my feet there,
or rather, dragging my feet in my mind.
wondering why i would want to invest my time,
because the commitment seems so great.
yet when i sit there and watch
and see how much effort she takes to reproduce her multiplication table
i know that everything is worth it
and i know that each minute spent holds such meaning
and so i'm glad :)
somehow i think it's a chain reaction
yet it can all be merely an excuse
and perhaps i just need something else to attribute it all to.
but, disregarding the mesh of complexities and enigma,
something needs to be done,
and i don't know how much longer before the fraying string decides to give way
but i know it must not
for the sake of those who are important.
i guess this is what i've learnt from it all
and it shall be a reason to be glad :)

I CAN DRIVE!
i just passed my driving test on tuesday :D
now i just need to learn how to park without poles,
and try driving on the expressway with my mama :D
last week was obs.
it was a good experience though i was somewhat dreading it earlier.
made many new friends and it's nice to know i'll be seeing them around in school :)
had many once in a lifetime (hopefully so) experiences too.
trudged through knee-deep mud and had clothes turning to black,
braved the storm in the kayak when the waves were so high and no matter how hard you paddled the kayak wouldn't turn-
we almost thought we were going to die!
we survived though, all 67 of us :D
and may the friendships last.
it's surprising how so many things can change in a year.
and we'll just leave it at that,
for now.

read this from shape magazine that my sis bought:
When life gets rocky, just hold on... to your partner. Couples who have more physical contact- cuddling, hugging, even hand-holding- lower their stress hormone levels, according to a study in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine. "Touching makes you feel calmer and more connected," says Jonathan Alpert, a US-based psychotherapist. Ask your mate to turn that caress into a massage and it will help your muscles and mind unwind.
-HUGS-
hahah.

i just spent the past few minutes reading through my blog when i was in sec4 because i realised how extensive an archive i had. rather interesting, the way i blogged and the things that happened. and even some of which i don't remember anymore. ah, how i miss those days.
it's been a time of making friends. new people to meet at hall, new people to meet for my scholarship. and i've been trying hard to remember names! hahah. school's gonna start soon, and i don't know what to think.
i am desperate.
for shoes. currently i don't own any casual footwear (do you count slippers and converses?) because my last trusty pair of shoes just died. the sole came apart and the mouth opens.
and i feel like shopping
i want to buy a bag. i want to buy clothes too but nothing in stores seem to call out to me. and i want to buy random stuff like cross stitches and jigsaw puzzles =X hahah.
i went to do a manicure on tuesday and it's so super pretty. PROBLEM: i have obs next week =(
it's sad that it seems forgotten. time will tell.

happening weeks.
started off last week with a night at some farm resort in kranji,
cause my mama was being excited to show off nature's bounty in singapore.
the rooms were nice, though it was quite small.
the toilet was cool!
it was sorta open air, so you see plants while bathing.
anyway, so gotta spend some time with cousins alfina and sean
and gotta go visit the night safari.
a nice retreat from the bustle of city life.
thursday was pasirris park with kirstie.
we randomly decided to go cycling
(and suntanning against my wishes. haha
i'm only starting to peel today =X)
friday was the day i entered my last teen year
and spent with dear squaddies.
THANKS SO MUCH ALL <3
spent the afternoon with kirstie
then met up with the rest
took photos atop esplanade,
dinnered at popeyes.
and though we were so hungry,
we ordered 8pc chicken for nine people.
HAHA.
and everyone was shutting up and not protesting.
went to the singapore flyer!
and they sang me a birthday song at the very top
in front of a whole carriage of people.
went to f1 track afterward and looked like a bunch of emo kids
(i think it was for them to write my card. haha)
and and that's the day i brought cleopatra home!
(i've yet to take a picture of her cause she's so hyperactive!)
she's the hamster jiaen was promoting,
and i fell in love with it at erm second sight.
and i named her cleopatra because kirstie said i looked like cleopatra that day.
haha.
yups, thanks so much for spending the day with me.
LOVES MUCH :)
saturday!
a belated birthday celebration with churchies and smvs :D
met cheryl and dory at bk and they made me walk to jolynn's house
and do alot of unglam things.
like, singing happy birthday to 19 pillars :X
hahah.
but it was a great lunch at jolynn's
thanks especially to cheryltan,
who makes it seem like whatever i'm saying is recorded-
from what i like to eat,
to how it i like it cooked,
to my recent cravings,
and my cry for my spoilt umbrella.
the very intricacies touched my heart! :D
so, thanks to ALL who were there.
for a very memorable operation lunchbox.
LOVES <3
and smvs dinner!
and a present that i didn't know how to react to.
hahah.
after dinner we had 'donut cake'
nineteen candles poked into donuts.
was great spending time with them
dears who saw me through jc
thanks so much for everything.
i'll ermm try to use the present.
hahah.
LOVES TOO! :D
thanks to all who remembered,
to those to messaged,
thanks for all the gifts and words,
which made me look like a pregnant taitai lugging home all my bags
(though a pregnant taitai wouldn't be taking the mrt
and would be having a chaffeur)
just came back from malaysia yesterday.
it was a good camp/retreat.
much enjoyed and impacted.
and may it not end here (:
so that's my happening weeks.
i cannot believe it.
and you just don't know how much it all means to me.
but it's okay i guess,
for you never fail to disappoint.
