dont know what song is this but should be off cnblue's album, not bad quite nice!
men who can play instruments and sing, confirm capture my heart!

i must promise myself to not go back to being a fangirl anymore!!
tsk must fight the korean wave HAHA

Friday, December 24, 2010

wow today im spamming posts.

ive got this strong urge to dye and perm my hair HAHAHAHA.
ive successfully psychoed myself all these years to not waste money but i think im getting won over by how bloody nice seohyun's hair is during we got married!

i really like the shade of dark brown and the sort of zig-zag waves.
so its not like the typical waves but something slightly more rigid and zig-zag ish.




hmmmmmmmm, dye or not to dye? HAHHAA
officially sucked into the korean romance scam tv show to trick romantic singles out there called 'we got married'.
I PROMISED MYSELF I WONT WATCH THIS SHIT HAHAHAHHA.

but yes im officially a fan of the yongseo couple! <3



love light by cnblue (their couple song sia, very sweet HAHA)

and i just realised this time last year i wasnt in singapore.
i was away in nepal, spending my christmas away from home!
and it just hit me like wow a whole year has passed and sooooooooo many things have happened and all in all, im very grateful for everything in my life (:
christmas is tomorrow!
but seriously feels like any other day to me and my family HA.

oh wells.

and omg im running out of shows to watch already! zzzzzzz
well anyway this has been stuck in my head!



warpaint, cant wait for laneway! <3



and this is an awesome cyclone of sound for 7+ mins.
like a bunch of girls on drugs or something but still an impressive piece nonetheless (:

back in singapore!
ok im not going to talk about my trip to korea.
long story and loads of people have been asking me how's korea so im sick of answering HAHAHA.

but it was a great getaway nonetheless (:

recently, ive been relistening alot of artists like temper trap, two door cinema club and phoenix.
i think judging by the amount of times i repeated temper trap's conditions, the album is going to become one of the most played albums on my phone HAHA.

but anyway, listening to this set of youtube videos of phoenix that i discovered a few months back of last year.
i think its one of the best recorded live performances of phoenix at a radio station and here's consolation prizes.
one of my favourites (:

goodbye for a week.
will not be bringing my laptop, i want a week without the internet.
need to shake off my addiction to the internet HAHA.

im afraid that i may miss singapore because i honestly dont have high expectations for korea heh.
and travelling with my dad is going to be a challenge, we have never had a absolutely peaceful holiday as a family before i think.
he is a good and kind man but he has some seriously severe shortcomings involving his temper and his inflexibility sigh.

i really wish i had siblings, a big big family where we would all come together and celebrate public holidays.
i realised having a small family doesnt make you closer, it actually makes you more distant.
i think when people have bigger families, they tend to make the effort to always do more things together.
but when it comes to my family, we all kind of do our own thing.
i guess that also means they are giving me my freedom, which i am of course still grateful for.

but oh well, talk about what ifs are pointless.
its how you deal with what you do have that is the crux of the matter.

its times like this when i really feel very lonely and i wish i was in a relationship but i know better than to give in to such moments.
i believe i am a much stronger and more independent person than i think i am, this is what i learnt after my first relationship.
it made me realise that i am actually such an independent person and i treasure my personal freedom alot and i am not the type who needs to spend every minute of my time with my boyfriend.

ok now im just rambling HAHA.
well goodbye, hopefully shopping in korea will be good HEHE :D
ill be without my laptop for a week, so now is the time to spam the internet before i fly HAHA.

favourite version of my favourite song from my favourite male singer

just as good as being at zoukout.

Friday, December 10, 2010

today, as i was with qian shopping in cine at the lovely rockstar shop, i heard andrew bird being played.

and his songs just got stuck in my head the whole day and now at 1.46am, im playing plasticities while completing my japanese homework (which is alot btw, never expected so much homework from my jap classess HAHA)

andrew bird is soooooooooooooooooo talented, and plasticities feels so perfect being played right now in the middle of the night.

it just crossed my mind that i wished my house unit was at a much higher level and i had a room facing the road, the rest of the blocks and in view of the vast sky.
i would have a table right at the window, looking out every once in a while as i soak in the music.

but nah i dont have that right now. i live on the 4th floor, my window only able to see the carpark and the blocks closing me in and my table facing the wall.

but im good, just a random thought crossing my mind.

magnificent music sets my mind pondering. (:



btw, bought many random things today.
a new plastic pencil case from muji, vintage looking notebooks from birds & co at cine and 2 hairbands AHAHA.

oh and i watched easy a.
KILL ME.
but ok lah 3/5 movie and qian is a good friend so im more than willing to watch with her (:

ok back to andrew bird (:

'According to Aristophanes in Plato's The Banquet, in the ancient world of legend there were three types of people.

People weren't simply male or female, but one of three types: male/male, male/female or female/female.

Everyone was happy with this arrangement and never really gave it much thought.
But one day god took a knife and cut everyone in half, right down the middle.

So after that, the world was divided into male and female, the upshot being that people spend their time running around trying to locate their missing other half.'

- Haruki Murakami's Kafka on the shore

very interesting

FUJI ROCK/SUMMER SONIC 2012 WAIT FOR ME ILL BE THERE!!!!!!!

Saturday, November 13, 2010

life is able dealing with shit you dont like being thrown at you.
and i suck so bad at it.
i cant pretend i dont like something.
i'm a failure in life HAHAHA.

oh well.
honestly, i dont think things will ever be the same.
i guess once an idea is planted in your head, just like inception, it grows and there's no way you can fight it.
and ever since it occured to me that you could be this way, i have viewed you so differently from that moment onwards.
you disappoint me.
and disappointment can be so crippling.

i guess a switch inside me was turned off and it cant just be turned on again.
i think there goes one friendship, what a waste.

Wednesday, November 10, 2010

i know what is my dream job.

i shall be travelling the world and visiting all the music festivals, in europe, in america, in japan (:

glastonbury just you wait, one day I WILL BE THERE.

"You prefer to think things over all by yourself and you don't like people looking inside your head. Maybe that's because you're an only child. You're used to thinking and acting alone. You figure that as long as you understand something, that's enough." She shook her head. " And that makes me afraid. I feel abandoned."

Sunday, November 07, 2010

there are so many books out there that write about life, about love, about self-discovery, about youth.
and i always looked at them with skepticism and wondered why did they make life so complicated.
life is simple, life is great and things will be fine (:

its not like i dont believe in that anymore but i realised that whether or not i saw it coming, something in me has changed.
perhaps, it was when i turned 20.

i remember turning 20 and thinking that it was absolutely the same even though i am no longer a teen, but now i find myself contemplating about life and my future alot.

its exactly like what those books depicted, trying to find out about your true self.
and i realised that i am so not looking forward to adulthood.
so strange, i used to think that i couldnt wait to be an adult and go out into the working world and get married.
now i rather stay young, stay carefree and do all the things i want to do.

i dont feel depressed or whatever but i just feel older and feel like i want to decipher life, or at least mine.

and i realised that love is something so mysterious.
i used to have such a naive concept of love.
i think there is so much more to love and it has been highly misunderstood due to all the fairy tale ideas of love.

i think love is one of the hardest thing in life to understand and i highly doubt those people who say they are in love truly are.
to be honest, i dont feel like i have been in love before.
its always infactuation, interest, disinterest, care, concern but what is love?
i think its so much more noble and great.
and i have yet to have the privilege of truly experiencing it.

i feel like my past relationship wasnt quite love.
but i still feel very grateful for having had such a good man but nonetheless i was still yearning for more, still searching to experience true love.

but i have learnt to not have such high expectations, perhaps love in reality is not that fantastic.
it has crossed my mind that i rather be by myself than be in a relationship that isnt true.
i guess i used to think that i could live with a relationship that isnt true and strong but i realised that i cant and i wont.

i wont compromise on my happiness, because only i will truly look out for my own happiness.

song for the day: yeah yeah yeahs- maps (:

Friday, October 22, 2010

i realised i get so damn excited over music HAHAHA.
today ive been spamming so much youtube and indieshuffle <3<3

Monday, October 11, 2010

everytime i hear the solanin song, everytime i replay the trailer, everytime i rewatch the epic last part of the movie, i get so overwhelmed with emotions.
i want to pick up an instrument, i want to play music, i want to be good at music, i want to form a band, i want a love so strong and so motivating like theirs, i want to travel to japan, i want to go there for exchange.

all this just from a movie <3
i think i may be a little bit too caught up in the movie and the after effects have yet to wear off HAHA.




Sunday, October 10, 2010

i just finished solanin.
wow, what a great movie and i think its going to be one of my favourite movies.
a movie about love between two people, about friendship, about death, about being young, about daring to dream, about daring to take the risk and break out of the norm and ultimately daring to say goodbye to your old self and chase your dream.

and for this movie, the dream of the antagonist's boyfriend is to form a band to play music.
in a nutshell, the boyfriend passes away in an accident around 2/3 into the movie and the antagonist takes over his dream to play in a band and performs this song called solanin which the boyfriend wrote before he died.
but the whole movie is more than just the death, its about the growth of the antagonist, her boyfriend,their friends and band members through their youth as they struggle to balance mundane reality and their dreams and finding direction in their lives.

very touching, sweet and inspiring <3
really made me feel like doing something like this with my life HAHA.

a bonus for me is i really like japanese rock bands and their style of music (eg remioromen, asian kung fu generation) so i super love music in this movie.
and coincidentally, asian kung fu generation sang the solanin sound for the soundtrack (:



now looking back at the trailer after i watched the movie, i realised the trailer was really awesome!
chose all the damn suitable scenes, and love love love love the solanin song <3

lyrics:

Mistaken thoughts from beyond the sky
A life spent saying goodbye?
The little piece of the future I saw
Was waving goodbye

The small room i once lived in
Is now occupied by someone else
The horrible things I said to you
The days that were wasted

Perhaps if I'd taken that chance,
if I could go back to that day
But I'll never be that person again

Even if that frail happiness
had somehow lingered on
A bad seed would have surely sprouted
So, I guess this is goodbye

The cold cans of coffee from freezing winters
That long rainbow coloured scarf
I stroll through the back alley
It all comes back to me now

Even if that frail happiness
had somehow lingered on
A bad seed would have surely sprouted
So, I guess this is goodbye

I guess

Goodbye, that's enough
You can cope anywhere
Goodbye, I'll manage somehow without you
Goodbye, that's what I'll do


its a farewell song to your past self <3
cant find a video of the performance scene during the movie with the lyrics and all, that was epic!
AND I CANT STOP LISTENING TO IT HAHAHHA
its a freaking good song with awesome lyrics, what more can you ask for!

plus, i really like the acting of the lead actor kengo kora and lead actress aoi miyazaki <3

ok wow its 5.19pm
TALK ABOUT NOT DOING WORK HAHAHAHA.
what a waste i could have been your lover.
what a waste i could have been your friend.

love belle and sebastian's new song 'little lou, ugly jack, prophet john' featuring norah jones.
love and friendship, two things that dont go together.
if you have one you have to give up the another.
i guess we can never have the best of both worlds.

but im well (:
and i hope you are too (:

today marks the end of mid term break.
HA, BREAK MY ASS MAN.

monday,
which was the only day where i could take things easy.
went back to school to get a little bit of studying done at the handball room.
but i was practically using the com the whole time HAHAHA.
then met my mum for dinner at west mall then went down to the driving centre to switch to school and book lessons and all zzzzzzzzzzzzz.

tuesday,
met kailing for lunch at city hall then we went to sing karaokeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee with karen and cheyenne.
5 hours of karaoke was SHIOK.
but my voice was like already going and after that it was gone HAHAHAHA.
then went to meet michelle lai, lois and shun yee for dinner at marina square ministry of food yumz (:
proceeded to esplanade for desertttttttttt.
we went to that crazy chocolate place at esplanade, mac something lah cant remember the name HAHAHAHAHAHA.
the intense chocolate cake was damn delicious but the hot chocolate was like INSANE.
YOU WILL DIE IF YOU DRINK IT ALONE HAHAHAHA.
then headache started as i had to start planning and coordinating george's birthday surprise so i hurried home after the gathering.

wednesday,
driving lesson at 920 in the morning MEGA ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
then went down to jeremy's house at dakota for mpw project meeting and to interview his mum!
old airport road was closed so no yummy lunch there :(
but had yummy tofu cheesecake at jeremy's place :D
OMG I LOVE TOFU AND IT WAS LIKE THE BEST CHEESECAKE EVERRRRRRRRRRR.
then off to ccab for training (:
late dinner/supper at xin wang at coro and it was back home with my new found fellow west sider!
turns out handball has another west sider who just stays at the condo opposite my block yay!

thursday,
went to school at 830 (FREAKING ASS TIRED) to meet cynthia to get some work done before our marketing meeting at 12.
then i had my second meeting, finance, and i dropped by the handball room for a few rounds of monodeal before going to the driving centre for theory lesson from 910 to 1050.
and omg the instructor was so interesting!
i thought theory lesson sure super boring HAHAHA.
LONG LONG DAY.
missed out on george's birthday surpise :(

friday,
training in school at 4 then it was off to ms meeting till like 10+
got most of our report done yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy (:

saturday,
GRAB HUCK SCORE.
was at sengkang from 8am-4pm zomg.
but it was fun (:
havent had such fun playing frisbee in a longggggggggg time :D:D
then off to raffles country club at tuas (DAMN FREAKING FAR) for jiaqi's birthday part.
with the fun fun theme of black society (:
however, i think handball slightly took it too far and made it like HEI SE HUI type of black society HAHAHAHHA.
then off to jurong point for a few rounds of monodeal at mos burger before going home (:

sunday,
SLEPT 11 HOURS <3
watching solanin!
its a japanese movie about youth and following your dreams, which in this movie is about music.
i realised its a common theme in japanese movies.
perhaps japan is quite a repressed society and its common amongst youth to feel lost and following societal norm up till a sort of sudden revelation about their dreams and hopes.
but anyhow, i love watching japanese movies (:
its the type of calm and peaceful style of cinematography and they like to have shots of the sky HAHAHAHA.

alright back to the movie then ive got finance and mpw to do (:
i realised im so not an opinionated person :(

Sunday, October 03, 2010

hello (:

i guess its be studying for marketing mid term, dinner with michelle and lois on tues, karaoke with the handball girls, handball study rooms, finance and marketing meeting on thurs and grab huck score on sat!

year 2 has been tougher than year 1 i think, the mods are harder and i feel busier.

so many things i really want to do and want to work forward to (:

Saturday, May 15, 2010

and before i leave, here's some photos from the pre-trip summer!

will miss all my friends, catch up when i get back <3
please take good care of yourselves and have a great summer!
AND FACEBOOK AND SKYPE!! :D










Thursday, May 13, 2010

yo!

this past week has been pretty packed, did alot of catching up with friends, buying alot of stuff for the trip and also just got a new desktop computer for my mum!

really want to leave for the trip on a good note, still be able to manage keeping in contact with my friends, doing well for the mods in ubc and having a great great awesome summer holiday :D

money has been flowing out of our pockets like a river!!
its making me feel very guilty and worried :(
but my mum is like that, always just spending money!
and always asking me to take cab :(
ive taken cab twice this week ahhhhhh!!

and i've also been spending quite abit of money on food!!
steamboat last night, food for thought today for lunch, wild honey tmr for brunch then karaoke tmr too!!!!
OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :(

well ok back to a new jap drama i found!
Yankee-kun to Megane-chan!
freaking funny omg HAHAHAHA.

alright take care friends!
will be away from 15may-10 july! <3

Friday, May 07, 2010

packing and planning have been stressful!
i know i was away for about a month last december too but back then i didnt have to do my own laundry, cook for myself and book all transportation and accomodation!
its definitely going to be a whole new experience and i hope everything turns out fine (:
if not we'll adapt! HAHAHA.

im also worried about being away from my family and friends for such a long time!
so SKYPE/MSN/FB OK PEOPLE <3<3<3
my skype email is limwanyin@hotmail.com :D
got to teach my mum how to use skype too!!

once again my mum has been very involved in my trip, she is always researching stuff, printing loads of stuff out and secretly planning what i need to pack and packing them into little packets for me already to put into the luggage.
i know she's just trying to help but time and time again its a source of argument cause i just really hate it when she does things secretly like this and just surprise me with loads of crap.

but yup i really want to leave on a good note and the best case scenario is to keep in close contact with my parents for the next 2 months!
well at least one good difference between nepal and this summer will be that i can actually contact them!
i only communicated with them through a few smses last december :(

and of course mother's day is coming up.
i got to get her something good!
shopping tmr with qian!! :D

Sunday, May 02, 2010

ok wow yihui chiong me to post, i post.

next up: meet up with qian after her exams, cut hair, manicure and flea market with fiona, t26 class gathering, mother's day and of course still spend time with all the important people in my life (:

ive also been experimenting with cooking more recently!
got the chance to attempt 2 pasta dishes, he claims they failed i say ITS EDIBLE SO IM FINE WITH IT HAHA.
and got to try the fb 5 mins chocolate mug cake recipe with yihui yay!

YIHUI UPLOAD THE PHOTOS FROM YOUR PLACE :D





Friday, April 23, 2010

wow zomg its been so long since ive blogged!

well first up, SUMMER IS HEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE <3
although yea its quite a bitch that smu exams are earlier, but its sooooooooooo good thats its over now!

looking back, exam week was pretty fun actually HAHAHAHA.
it was nice when my parents dropped me off in school every morning, choped a nice table with roller chairs, studying with friends and bingeing HAHAHAHA. <3
the week flew up real fast and then it was the exams.

and the component grades are out actually!
just dont know the calculated final grades yet.
ltb was quite a surprise, i think the group expected an A but im fine with a B/B+ actually :D

AND OMG MY BIZ LAW FINAL EXAM GOT A- AND MY INTRO ECONS FINAL GOT A.
THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.
ok i worked really hard for biz law and i honestly thought i screwed up my final exam FREAKING BADLY cause of damn lousy time management but wth A-!!!!
and my class part is A- when i barely said anything!!!
my prof is damn nice! <3<3<3
and im really happy about intro econs because after all, ive done H2 econs before and econs was my favourite subject in jc!
feels good when your effort pays off and you do well in something you like (:

and there's my creative thinking grade that sucks but HAHAHAHAH SUPER EXPECTED I AM HOW UNCREATIVE HEHE.

i realised after coming to uni, ive become more serious about my work and generally much more hardworking than before.
in fact, i feel as though i may actually be enjoying work!!
wow what a change HAHAHHAA.
but yea uni life is fun i love it (:
i mean yea theres shitloads of work but they is also tons of opportunities for you to enjoy yourself :D

and looking forward, overseas summer term with banglin! :D
planning has been a bitchhhhhhhhhhhhhh but the accomplishment is definitely there when things like accomodation and transportation are settled!
i realised i am such a control freak/neat freak sometimes!
i always like to organise tasks and complete them one by one and make sure everything is well-planned way before hand and all that zomg.
i just hope i wont be so uptight during the trip!
i really want to have a good time travelling and soaking up the experience too :D

and of course enjoy the present too!
catching up with friends and spending the days with the people that matter to you, awesome! <3
just trying to keep the expenses low HAHAHHA.

well here's one to the lovely summer!

Tuesday, April 06, 2010

the sky is extra blue, the clouds are extra white, the trees are extra green and the flowers are extra red.

Sunday, April 04, 2010

Saturday, April 03, 2010

of course ive got scary exams such as biz law and as but i'll pull through!

the days have been spent pretty much revolving around school as always, but its nice to be able to squeeze in a few movies and meals these days :D

watched my lovely bones, hurt locker and clash of the titans!
all not bad not bad :D:D:D
hurt locker would be my favourite of course!

and to celebrate the last day of the term yesterday, we watched clash of the titans and celebrated avinesh's belated birthday.
had a late dinner at astons, tau huay then off we went to cheryl's house for 5 hours of wii, laughing, picture taking, video spamming, dying on the sofas and an awesome time :D

cabbed home this morning and slept from 7am-5pm shiok! <3



remioromen (:

Never expect, never assume, never ask and never demand.
Just let it be.
Because if it is meant to be, it will happen the way you want things to be.

bullshit.

Sunday, March 28, 2010

on a beautiful afternoon like this, where i look up and see the lovely blue skies and fluffy clouds like a view from a music video, i feel like i can take on anything on earth.

there is nothing in life such as regrets, only lessons.

everything will be alright in the end and things will work out fine by themselves.
be it for the good or the 'bad', life will miraculously unravel itself such that everyone will find their happiness in one way or another.

thats what i love about life.
even if things seem bad at first, things will always always always be ok in the end (:



the type of song that stimulates such feelings (:

Monday, March 22, 2010

the human race is kind at heart.

as i made my way to school, i saw people giving up seats to others, old friends shaking hands before parting ways at the mrt station, colleagues chatting enthusiastically on the escalator, a lady smiling to the old man who was giving out free newspaper as she took one for herself, people holding the door for others and perhaps countless other kind acts were done at that point of time too just that i didnt see.

although it may be gloomy and rainy now but i'll always remember what a beautiful afternoon it was when i stepped out of the house.

the sun was shining brightly, there was a slight breeze, the leaves on the trees were luminated by the sun rays to a brighter shade of green, the clouds were fluffy and white and i was tuned in to dog days are over by florence and the machine.
what a glorious day it is!
i felt like jumping around, singing and dancing along to the song HAHHAHAA.

<3

Sunday, March 14, 2010



yes i spam music that i like.
too bad this is my blog! HAHAHAHHAHAA.

omg its damnnnnnnn awesome.
i think if you watch skins, you would be able to notice some similarities in style.
young british culture nowadays, i sure love the music its producing (:

ok back to biz law HAHAHAHA SHITTTTTTTT.

family dinners.

few and rare, but love them <3
for 2 nights this week, my family managed to have 2 dinners and 1 lunch together (:
to make up for the weeks/months that we have been unable to sit around the same table for a meal.
awesome stuff (:
and its really funny how my parents order like crazy until we eat until damn full and damn gao wei HAHAHA.

being very lazy people, we ate 2 dinners at the coffee shop downstairs (yay for convenience!) and ordered more expensive dishes such as steamboat and steam fish and whatever random dishes we feel like trying yum.
yes we are stingy and are content with cheap food HAHA.
but just feels good eating together and as of always my parents will be pushing food here and there, especially my mum who goes around dumping tons of food on everyone's plate except her own.

silly lady!
but i love her so (:

btw, plants vs zombies full version HAHAHA.
SHIT WHAT A DISTRACTION.
i played for like a whole afternoon, not like all at one shot but one level then do abit of other stuff then another level.
BUTTTTTTTTT, i didnt realise my com battery low until it died while i was away from the com so i dont know if the game saved the level that i was at!

IF NOT, GG PLAY FROM THE START ZZZZZZZZZZZ.

ok time to go back to as, ct and plants vs zombies! (:
epicurious cafe & riders cafe <3
im going to go there somehow someday!

self reminder:

Fall in love with YOU!

Make lists of hundreds and hundreds of wonderful things about you. Keep adding to it every day.

Know that you are perfect. Do not think any negative thoughts about you.

Know that you are worthy and deserving of anything and everything you could possibly want in your life.

Focus on the wonderful things in every person. Look for only those things.

Do not blame or criticize anybody, ever.

Set an intention that you are going to see the best in everything and everyone.

Make your happiness the number one thing in your life. Happiness is an inside job.

Free yourself of the responsibility of trying to make other people happy. Respect and love them enough to allow them to take care of their own happiness.

Get your attention off those things in others that don't make you feel good.

Appreciate and love yourself in every moment you can.

Do not expect others to behave in a way you want, so you will be happy. Release yourself forevermore and know that you alone control your happiness and it is a choice, no matter what anyone else is doing.

Love and respect yourself completely.

Know that you are perfect right now.
the little things that eat at me.
cant let it accumulate :(

someone told me to get it off my chest but i just cant.
or at least not yet i guess.

in plants vs zombies terms, im a walnut getting eaten away HAHAHA.
just kidding.
plants vs zombies is a really awesome game btw.
google it.

if you put imogen heap's hide and seek, stars's the night starts here and elevator love letter on repeat i think you may get depressed HAHAHAHA.
throw in biz law and the process is made INSTANT.

but awesome songs nonetheless (:
and thats why im risking my emotional health by spamming them while doing biz law HAHA.
but i also throw in basement jaxx's my turn to make my biz law day slightly better (:

or well STARTING biz law.
woke up at like 12+ (i have not woken up so late in a longggggggg time) in the afternoon just now, sat down for a nice long delicious lunch with my dad (da baoed some set thing from soup kitchen) and watched tv (:
when i look back i realised i havent done that in so long and sometimes i feel very guilty :(

but my dad told me this just now, going along the lines of:

we support you in everything you do and we dont force you to excel in your studies.
if there's anything we want you to excel in, it is happiness.


i love my parents so very very much.
although they are always right behind supporting me but they never get in the way of what i do which i dont even really ask them before planning.
my happiness is always their priority and that is why i know so certainly that they love me and im very grateful although i know i rarely express my gratitude.
i promise to show them that i love them more, this shall be a late new year's resolution HAHA.

so yes its 2.22pm HAHAHAHA SO CUTE.
and im sitting in front of my table, trying to ignore biz law but of course i HAVE to start.
soon.
HAHA.

and sent kailing's off ystd at the airport for her 4 months exchange in switzerland.
WILL MISS HER DOU DOU.
she's really a pillar of strength in our team and her prescence will definitely be missed <3
awesome times much <3

everytime i find myself judging and criticising people's actions, i really have to stop and think to myself.
do i do the same damn thing?
just that i give myself excuses and im blind to my own behaviour.
then i feel like i have to let others have their freedom to behave the way they do, although it doesnt make me feel good.
gosh im so selfish.

WAH MUSE WAS SERIOUSLY DAMN FUCKING AWESOME LAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
SERIOUSLY I FEEL LIKE MY LIFE IS COMPLETE HAHAHAHA.
AND I AM SO GOING TO TYPE IN CAPS FOR THIS WHOLE ENTRY.
ITS LIKE MY HEART IS EXPLODING WITH HAPPINESS AND ALL AWESOME THINGS!

LOVE MUSE.
MORE AND MORE AND MORE.
SEEING THEM FOR THE SECOND TIME WAS HOW MIND-BLOWING SINCE.
I WAS THERE AT 3PM, QUEUED IN THE SUN, TOLERATED WITH CRANKY ATTITUDE SAOSIN, ENJOYED RISE AGAINST ALTHOUGH THE MOSHING WAS SHIT CRAZY AND WAITED FOR MUSE WHO ONLY CAME OUT AT 10PM <3

BUT THAT WAS SO DAMN WORTH IT.

THE LIGHTS, THE GRAPHICS, THE PROPS, THE CROWD'S INTENSE ENERGY, MUSEEEEEEEEEEEE <3

AND THEY PLAYED LOADS OF SONGS FROM THE RESISTANCE: UPRISING, RESISTANCE, MK ULTRA, UNDISCLOSED DESIRES, UNNATURAL SELECTION, SYMPHONY 1

WAH ALL DAMN EPIC MAN.
LIKE SERIOUSLY YOU WOULD THINK IT SOUNDS QUITE CRAP ON RECORD.
ITS FUCKING MIND BLOWING LIVE WITH ALL THE GRAPHICS TO ACCOMPANY THE SUPER AWESOME MUSIC.

THE GIG ENDED AT 12, WE WERE THIRSTY, WE WERE TIRED, BUT THE SMILES NEVER LEFT OUR FACES HAHAHAHHA.
CLIFTON, MY MUSE KHAKI!
SERIOUSLY THANKS THE COMPANY WAS AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEE.
AND THANKS TO ALL THE COMPANY ALONG THE WAY! :D:D:D:D

AND OMG RESISTANCE AND UNDISCLOSED DESIRES ARE STUCK IN MY HEAD.
BTW THE LYRICS ARE PRETTY AWESOME TOO, MATT IS GETTING MORE LOVE-ISH AND ITS DAMN SWEET TOO ASIDE FROM THE GRANDESS AND EPICNESS OF THE ALBUM <3


edit/

rise against was a surprise gem!
the band were pretty good, the lead was friendly and energetic and the songs were pretty awesome :D
came across this sweet simple song: swing life away



Am I loud and clear, or am I breaking up?
Am I still your charm, or am I just bad luck?
Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost?

I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words

We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand

I've been here so long, I think that it's time to move
The winter's so cold, summer's over too soon
Let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow

Tuesday, February 02, 2010

i feel like im in quicksand.
the more i struggle, the faster and deeper i sink.
makes me feel so helpless.
like this is how it should be and its destined to be like this.
turn back time please?



the killers make pretty good company on my journeys home <3

credit desiree: love is what makes you smile when youre tired

Wednesday, January 27, 2010

wow im on a roll.
i feel like i can always turn to this place to organise and pen down my thoughts.
although yes all of you my friends can see this but essentially, its for me to also come back and read through my thoughts during those specific moments.
to recall, to remind, to keep in my heart and cement my values.

i just did like this personality test thing yesterday.
yea ok some of you may say personality test? WAH DAMN DUMB SIA.
but well i like such things and i do try to learn and understand more about myself through such simple tests.

some more extreme values i got during the test were:

low assertiveness
high level of trust in others
high level of modesty
low self-efficacy
high dutifulness
low achievement-striving
low self-discipline
high level of cautiousness
high anxiety
high anger (HAHAHAH YES BEWARE)
high level of vulnerability (like shit high, 96/100)
low imagination
low artistic interests
high level of emotionality
low adventurousness
low intellect (WOW IM A DUMBO)
low liberism

ok wow talk about extremes.
i guess ive got more highs and lows than averages.

i guess we're all looking around for support, for reassurance, for comfort, for companionship, for love.
but i cant help feeling like when you finally receive after searching, you realise that you may not even know what to do with it and you dont know how to show true, sincere and utmost appreciation for it.
im learning (:

edit:
ZOMG I JUST CAME ACROSS THE CUTEST THING.
cause like picasa and blogger worked together such tht you have like a web album of alllllll the pictures youve ever put up on your blog.
and since this blog has successfully been with me since secondary school, although i only started putting up pictures in like jc, its such a wonderful feeling looking back at all the pictures ive put up.
btw ive put up MORE THAN 800 PICTURES OMGGGGGGGGGGG.
and im pretty sure quite a few are precious ones that i didnt even put on fb.
damn shocked by the number, didnt know ive put up so many along the way.
i must have been very free HAHAHAHA.
memories <3<3<3

Monday, January 25, 2010

ive been slipping in and out of consciousness for the past 1.5 hours here in the library.
with my biz law book laid out in front of me, still at the same page, with my itunes replaying the list of songs i just recently added (breathe, slow dancing in a burning room, cry me out and two is better than one), i feel like i dont belong here in the library and perhaps ive been escaping by sleeping.

the days have been passing by quickly, so much has happened but yet i feel like theres so much more that could be done but yet i cant put my finger on what im missing out on.
and of course it doesnt help that school work is accumulating and i just feel like ignoring it.
fast yet slow, happy yet sad(ok not like freaking sad just feeling unfulfilled during some moments), present in school but absorbing nothing, life is full of contradictions.
i guess we're all capable of feeling a ton of things at the same time.

but in the midst of all this, i still feel a sense of peace when im with you.
i was just browsing through blogshops, trying to find some nice clothes to buy cause i SEVERELY LACK CLOTHES FOR SCHOOL HAHAHA.
so i was at loveandbravery.blogspot.com (they have some pretty nice clothes sometimes btw) when like the blog name just hit me.
i mean like ive never really bothered about their blog name, always thought it was abit lame.

but i mean love and bravery are two very important things that can push you through your entire life.
i would like to have both!
ive always been a cowardly person HAHAA.

anyway last night i ended up watching lovestorymedia again, i remember the first wedding video of theirs was shown to me like a couple of months back.
i already thought it was such a mega awesome video, the part where like this tear just slides down the bride's cheeks GETS ME EVERYTIME HAHAHAA.

Diana ♥ Binh \ Nov 21 2009 \ Highlights from Love Story Media on Vimeo.



after spamming like 10 wedding videos last night, this is still my favourite.
great song, great wedding, great video <3
makes you want to get married doesnt it!
AHEM QIAN DOESNT THIS LOOK NICE AHAHHAA.
ive always held marriage in high regard, always wanted to marry early and be happy but i guess over the years everyone's concept of marriage starts to morph.
i guess now im abit afraid to look to the future towards marriage, but of course its still a top priority in my life.

if not qian im going to hold you to the promise of the two of us knitting in our rocking chairs in a big house HAHAHA.

btw ive also been going through all the videos to also check out all the wedding dresses.
i love looking at wedding dresses and thinking what would be a nice one for myself years down the road HAHAHA.
im trying to avoid strapless cause after going through 2 proms with a strapless dress ive suffered and learnt well HAHAHA.
ok anyway im just reluctant to do work, acting free and very bored HAHAHA.

past few days have been pretty revolved around school SO BLEH YOU KNOW.
but of course im still happy (:
also got to catch up with yuslina and yiting on sat!
went for supermassive 2.0 (cj rock gig thing) at home club with them which was pretty awesome!
great music, great company and slightly aching legs after that HAHA.
then we managed to find out way to lau pa sat for some good food yummmmmmmm.
took a train to city hall to check out chijmes for abit before taking a bus home FROM YMCA AKA SCHOOL.

so silly how im always in/around school EVERYDAY.
EVERY SINGLE DAY ZOMG.

ok yes im actually typing this in school now cause im trying to ignore my biz law book that is like just next to me HAHA.
time to go meet shreeya for lunch! :D

Tuesday, January 19, 2010

wowz its been practically a week since i last blogged!
lets see what has happened,

ltb meeting, intro econs, 99cents sushi at cathay, twin towers of sushi plates, cheryl's birthday present <3, new york i love you (hmmmm very deep HAHAHA.), tau huay, l4d2, macs, cab, ct presentation produced in 20 mins, ubc talk, running around the school, ubc application :D, yihui <3, timbre, clarke quay starbucks, walkwwalkwalkwalkclarkequayboatquayesplanade, paris jetaime, fullerton, cab, grandma's house, adam road food centre, serene macs, island creamery, bench <3, cab, qian <3, ionfareastshopcuthairtalktalktalktalk, school work, 77, KO on bed, AS, pomo curry chicken rice + shaved ice, econs gsr.

i remember back in secondary school when i did lit, tina neo taught us about how the sentence structure of the poem could represent what the poet is trying to convey.
the length of the sentences, the punctuations, the bolding and italics all meant something.
i remember there was a period of time when i really enjoyed lit, of course that was just a short period cause i also remember the majority other times when i complain about lit non-stop HAHAHA.

school's a bitch but shall look forward to summer (:

Thursday, January 07, 2010

whenever i listen to maroon 5's nothing lasts forever and think about the english teacher (YES SECONDARY LIT TEXT WOOHOO), i always feel like im brought back down to earth and given a solid rooting.
i remember i absolutely did not like the english teacher when i read it for the first time.
but i know i slowly started to learn from the book and like it in the process (:
its probably one of the saddest books ive ever read as a young kid.
its like the zahir actually, about a man losing love and learning to embrace it and become a better person.
but of course in the english teacher his wife actually DID DIE, like gone for good!
i've always liked the concept of coping with an immense loss.
gives me a surge of courage to take on life (:


guilt and hope.
i guess in life we are all merely trying to find happiness in every little thing we do.
and along the way we are bound to cross paths with others, some may merge and carry on together but some may come to a dead end.
i guess sometimes it's impossible for everyone to be happy at the same time, we either get hurt or hurt others.
or both simultaneously wow shiok huh HAHA.
perhaps we need to stop and think if we're actually doing the right things.

OK ANYWAY.
first week of school has been a pretty painful process.
AS + biz law on tues = BRAIN FRY
ltb on wed + training + macs 20 pc nuggets + met teresa michele and jinan at raffles city!
thurs intro econs (very nice and pretty newscaster prof) + chicken rice at bugis + ah chews = :DDDDDD

ct tmr zzzzzzzzzzz.
im just so not creative HAHAHA.
its really retarded that creativity is being taught!

ok here's a beautiful picture because i kope such pictures from iheartit.com when im bored HAHAHAHA.
<3

Wednesday, January 06, 2010

hello (:
i was just listening to my iphone when i was hit with this sudden urge to write something.



MYMP- tell me where it hurts

a song about a woman/her who is there for the man she cares for even though he may not belong to her.
she who does not snatch or manipulate, what a noble woman.
and the singer's got an awesome voice btw, totally helps to make it more touching.

which led me to think of marie from the zahir.
i remember being very inspired by her character towards the end of the book.
AWESOME BOOK BTW.
finished it in 3 days over in nepal after borrowing it from avinesh.
of course no one really wants to be her since he returns to his wife.
but yes the ending was still epic, last three pages where he returns to his wife was like whoaaaaaaa.
i still remember reading it on the shaking van ride back to hotel marshyangdi where after i finished the book, i just sat there for like a good 20 mins just reflecting.

ok anyway i cant believe i just ate a cheeseburger at mos burger ON TOP of the cai fan i had for lunch at home :/
ok ltb in about 45 mins, wish me luck HAHHAA.

Monday, January 04, 2010

hello!
the past week has been gooddddddd <3
towards the end of the week, i finally got to catch up more with my friends!
DAMN STOMACH INFECTION HAHAHA.

life is so good that i just wish it could remain like this and that school wont start tmr zzzzz.
but i shall believe in myself that i can balance friends and work, that i can try and enjoy myself to the fullest while dealing with any crap in my life.
wish me all the best, my love for you all will push me through <3

ive been getting comments, or perhaps just one from a critic of mine, that my blog lacks photos HAHA.
WELL AHEM IF YOURE READING THIS, NEH HERE ARE SOME PICTURES SO STOP COMPLAINING :D

unfortunately one reason why ive practically stopped putting up pictures on my blog is because im lazyyyyy and i barely take pictures when i go out anymore!
so here are just some random pictures during some of the gatherings ive had over the past week (:
i guess it would also be good to add some colour to this page!
