"Secondly, don't let anyone ever make you feel like you don't deserve what you want."

I've just finished watching Sixteen Candles and 10 Things I Hate About You (a recommendation there by Kai Ni). They're both oldies and I think that one thing which old movies have in common is that they're actually really simple, plot and character wise, and I like it. I love them from the settings to the way the characters dress. Everything's just so old-school, it's so cooool, I think I wouldn't mind living in that era hahah. Btw, there are cute guys in the shows too hehe. Patrick from "10 Things I Hate..." was so adorbzxzx especially when he was being sweet toward Kat, and that accent... His accent is just to die for *.* Like why do movies constantly give girls false impressions of guys )": All these things which guys do in the movies, they will never happen in reality, or at least not in Singapore. There may be a possibility that it'll happen in the States - another reason why it would be better to live there hahahahah I know I should be thankful for being able to live here and all, but apart from being a safe place, I would very much like to migrate )-:

Anyway, throughout " 10 Things I Hate...", I was wondering where the title made any relevance to the show at all, and was waiting for them to play 'I Want You to Want Me'. Btw I love that song, it's stuck in my head. I actually knew bout it from watching Mobbed, when the guy sang it to the girl (awwww ikr). Only later did I find out that the track was covered in "10 Things I Hate..." Back to what I was saying - I was wondering, and it was only at the end did they show the link of the title. I actually counted and it was exactly 10 'I hate's (': If you don't get it, go watch the show to understand what I'm sayin'. It was so cute hahah and they only played the song at the end too, but I didn't see any link in that at all l o l like the song had no link idk why. It was like just a track to end off the show.... but i still like it (-: Think I'm gonna watch Big Fish next, and Moonrise Kingdom which is a 2012 show strongly recommended by Clara Lee.

Sorry about ending with a rant because I'm feeling so fed up with my mum because she constantly procrastinates and never actually does what she says. I'm trying to not pick up that bad habit, which I think may just run in the family. It's as bad as empty promises. Urghhh makes me so angsty about how I'll always end up being disappointed time and again

“We’re all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that’s all.”


you see us as you want to see us… in the simplest terms and the most convenient definitions. you see us as a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess, and a criminal.

So the first week of my holidays have passed, and I'm left with two weeks. I actually feel sort of zoned-out and I just want to stay home and watch shows, and prevent myself from spending any unnecessary money by going out (besides shopping ofc). I suddenly felt like watching some oldie movies and yes, I just watched The Breakfast Club. It's a really simple show, but rather intriguing too I'd say. Basically, the show's about how these 5 different stereotyped students change, just from a day's worth of detention. They realised that apart from all their differences, they're actually pretty much the same. I guess in reality, things, or people, are actually like that too.
You can literally count the number of characters casted in the movie. It actually amazes me how the hour and a half long movie solely revolves around the 5 kids, excluding the janitor and the bitchy teacher. The only characters I liked at the start, were Claire and Andrew I think because they seemed the most normal, and John Bender was funny but he acted like such a bitch. But halfway into the show, I liked all of them except Allison hahahah she was just so so weird but at the end you'll see that she's actually really pretty too (-:  I felt so glad for all of them to have become friends. I think I'm someone who likes happy endings in shows, but some people find such endings boring (I'd get why though). But I don't know, happy endings make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside and I'll be like "awwww". And I hate to admit it, but I can be such a sucker for romance sometimes -_- but I think almost everyone is right hahahah

Thinking of watching The Notebook again, because I don't get why everyone thinks it's really nice and people actually cries watching it but I'm just like 'meh'. Maybe I didn't actually watch it properly, so all I know is that it's about forbidden love, if I'm not wrong lol. And I may watch Sixteen Candles too, another 80's movie by John Hughes. And honestly, I don't feel all that excited for Christmas anymore because everything seems to be changing and I really miss my childhood )':
Oh and I definitely need to stop sleeping at 4am every single night.

MST

Hi guise, I've just ended my MSTs, hence begins my 3 week holiday!!! (-: The past week has been, I don't know, a little intense but not so much too? How do I explain this... I feel like I've actually learnt my lesson from my first semester in polytechnic, that every single test, and I mean every single one of 'em, is important. It's not like secondary school times anymore. No one's gonna be slacking away with you. Everyone's gonna be working their asses off for every single test to get their targeted GPA, and no one's gonna settle for a GPA less than 3.6. It actually feels like a dog eat dog world in here; at least I felt like that. Don't get me wrong though, friends here are really really nice and willing to help one another. I guess I actually feel pressured by everyone's motivation to want to do well, and I didn't even feel this way during O's really. So yup, even though it was a little last minute, I studied what I could, and managed to get through the week. Comparing this to my very first MST last semester, I swear I did so much more work for this one. Last MST's, I went for my tests with no idea what the hell I was scribbling on those pieces of paper honestly. I wrote stuff which i made up in my head, and things that made sense to me and only me. So, whatever marks I got didn't affect me much 'cause I had it coming, even though I was initially a little upset. As for this MST's, I actually knew what I was doing (proud of myself) hehe. But the bad thing was, the papers were easy, and for almost all of them, I had the "I know how to do this, but don't really know how" sort of feeling. It's okay if you don't get it, it's just sort of this unsure feeling. So yup, I made mistakes here and there, which are definitely gonna cost me quite a number of marks, which made me upset because if I were to do a little more thinking, and had been more careful, I would have definitely gotten them right but oh well )': Just gonna hope for the best next year! I feel like each year is passing by faster and faster. Time is really waiting for no one. Just hoping that things will get better over the years. Shall add some pictures to make this post less wordy.
Please ignore my awkward position. Just realised this is my first time posting pictures of my new friends hahahah Anyway, gonna make a post on FYI On Stage once I've got the instax scanned in :* And I can't wait to do some Christmas shopping! I predict myself to be splurging this month, but oh well I shall enjoy my holidays while it lasts (-:

It's Time

I have been putting Imagine Dragons on replay for the past few days. If you don't know them yet, go check them out. Give their songs a listen, not just the mainstream ones (i.e. It's Time and Demons). I guess they're classified under indie rock. Check out Round and Round - one of my favs. 

Anyways, it's 1.30 am and school's at 10 am, and I've got accounting tutorial undone. Tomorrow's a start to a new week and all I have to look forward to every Monday are drum lessons. It's two weeks to MSTs and I've not done a single shit. I feel so caught up with everything, but I guess it's just another excuse for me to avoid doing any work. I'd spend at most 3 hours on a piece of work, and then the rest of the day to rest. Like who does that, seriously? Too much procrastination, it's gonna bring me to no good end. Need to get my shit together, because a 3.2 GPA isn't gonna get me anywhere. But then again, I've said that even before this semester started, but look where I am now. Need to stop giving myself stupid excuses. Think positive

Halloween Horror Nights 2

Doing a super duper late post on how I spent my Halloween this year! So I actually ended up going for USS Halloween Horror Night twice; once with lk xy and kn, and the other with my cousins and brother. Gotta say that it wasn't as scary as I expected it to be, but still it was fun! So basically there were different scare zones, and three haunted houses. I liked the zombie scare zone second to the Egyptian mummy one. Come to think of it, the Egyptian scare zone had the most stuff, apart from the puppet master one. I like zombies and all, but I guess the scare zone was too foggy, we could barely get any pictures taken. It's funny how "zombies" would actually sneak up on you if they catch you off-guard hahah. And the make up for all the scarers or whatever you call them, actually looked rather realistic it's cool. 

It was just us four girls braving the night alone on the first day of the event, and we managed to get into two haunted houses; the Hell and Chinese themed one. Kn and I felt so brave, I didn't expect xy and lk to be that scared hahahah. I guess it wasn't scary cause how things worked was that everyone entered in pairs in a long long line. It'll definitely be way way scarier if people went in in small groups. We were laughing throughout the houses and looking out for cute scarers HAHA Can't deny that poly has made me to become some superficial ass. Anyways, the Hell haunted house was rather cool, but the Chinese one was just too fogged up, we couldn't see almost half the time and it was so suffocating.  Second time I went with the cuzzies and bro, we managed to visit all three haunted houses and sat some rides. I swear the asylum one was the scariest. There was this room with a blinding light which was constantly flashing every millisecond. It was like experiencing what you would actually see in horror shows, where they would use the camera's flashlight in darkness to spot ghosts or whatnot. And they made the surroundings really realistic. We were made to walk through dirty old toilets which actually smelled like shit, I'm not even kidding. We smelled the stench from outside while queuing and thought that someone actually shat in their pants from being too scared l o l. Had so much fun, my cuz and I made attempts to scare the "zombies" which approached others in the scare zone. It was hard to get pictures with the scarers, especially the zombies and the "crazy" people cause they aren't supposed to stop playing their roles for even a second, so you'd have to chase after them if you want one, hence the blurred photos.
I feel proud of my brother and my little cuz who's only 11. It's funny how they claim to be unafraid, but screaming at every thing that pops out to scare us in the haunted houses hahahah.  This is such a wordy post. Pictures from the first day (-:

FYI On Stage

                   

Omg I hate having celebs I love come to Singapore, and by "hate", I mean in it a good way. Swear it makes me feel so stressed out about having to compete with other fans over being able to get the better tickets. And stalking...... Yes, stalking, not their every move of course, but more like finding out when they're arriving/leaving Singapore, and meeting them at the airport. I just can't feel at ease knowing that they're here on this tiny Island, and I may miss them. Something is wrong with me, cause I don't even feel this stressed during exam periods I swear. I feel the butterflies in my stomach by just thinking about getting hold of the tickets, and meeting them in person )-: Need to stop this insanity omg

Over My Head

Hi guise, I am actually halfway into doing my DBE project and randomly decided to drop by and do a post on the recent The Fray concert Cheu and I went to. Yes we saw The Fray live 3 days ago, and they were really awesome (-: Not exactly a huge fan, but I do listen to their songs and I love Isaac Slade's (Lead Vocals) voice. His voice is really really unique! It was a private showcase at Hard Rock. Again, we managed to get right to the middle front (Yay), and were so so close to them. Isaac was right in front of us (': He was so interactive with the crowd, he came down a couple of times, and even came into the crowd just to mix with everyone and people at the back aww. Truthfully speaking, Isaac was the only name we knew in The Fray hahah, but we now have a new found love and he's called Joe King (Guitarist). He doesn't look the best in all pictures, but he looked so cute on stage *.* He reminds me of an older Morgan Dorr (Guitarist from BLG). Oh, and I managed to get a pick for Cheu, and I kept the setlist for I have no idea what hahah. Just for memory's sake I guess. Some pictures from the day:
 

I have countless of pictures of Joe, just cause <3 They gave evryone this sort of mini album of Scars & Stories. And they actually personally autographed them awww so sweet of them (': To think that each one of them has actually touched this album before giving it to us hahahah

The set list from the concert!
 The pick is actually really really cool cause it has "The Fray" printed on it. More pictures to come once Cheu sends them over. Slowpoke la aiyo

Dumb

Just a day ago, I tweeted about how I wished Andrew Garcia would come to Singapore. Somehow he answered my wishes and unexpectedly tweeted that he just booked a tour to Asia, which includes SINGAPORE. Omg omg I'm so happy I'm gonna die (": Although there isn't any confirmed dates or details on it yet, I really hope he gets through with this tour or I'd be rather disappointed. Been waiting for this moment since a really really long time ago. He's such a gr8 singer, I m getting so excited just by the thought of actually having him here in Sg soon! I lub him :* Here's a video of one of his ep. He is a m a z i n g:

Welcome to the Island of Misfit Toys

So time went by in a flash and it is now the last day of this 1 and a half month holiday. Actually lazed around a lot during the whole month, but I still enjoyed it. Everything else beats having school and lessons, too me at least. The past week has been great. Caught Premium Rush, went for DBA camp, and caught Perks of Being a Wallflower. Gotta admit that I had fun at camp, and did not regret going (I think I might just have a crush now) (-: But somehow, I managed to spend $300 plus within 10 days. Didn't buy much clothes or anything else. Money just seem to disappear when they're in my hands. Someone should just take all my money away and help safe keep it for me before I spend it all away )-: On a brighter note, at least I enjoyed myself! With school starting, I'll be spending lesser, so thank God for that. And...... I finally got my hair shaved after having wanted a hair tatt since forever (':

Really love how it turned out! Thanks to cheu for accompanying me. We were afraid that I would cry hahahah. Anyways, Halloween's on its way and I can't wait for USS Horror Night 2!! I am terrified but thrilled and excited!

Baking Day

Our supposedly chocolate lava cake turned out to become some dry chocolate sponge cake
