The Pursuit of Being

"Years from now, you will find that the things you held dear,
Were all trivial to the core.
All of those silly little things you cared about meant nothing,
And the naive quest for perfection was a giant fucking waste of time.

I wish you well on your pursuit of being."


-John C. O’Callaghan V


Saw this on Tricia Hwam's blog a few days back, and felt that it's so meaningfully true.
It's really nice, and a little sad. Btw, John O'Callaghan is the lead of The Maine (-:

We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together

Another eventful week has passed! It was last week actually, but I had no time to blog about it due to project deadlines, and examinations. Just ended my exams yesterday and I'm so glad it's finally over (': Sadly, I can't assure myself of even a 3.6 GPA, I'm just hoping for something decent and I'll be more than satisfied. Enough of moping for now, I just wanna enjoy my 7 week holiday (-:
Back to what happened last week. Guess who went for Walk Off The Earth in Singapore?! They came on tour and performed at St James last thursday. Had to rush down from a presentation in school, but it was so totally worth it! Oh, not forgetting that the day before, Cheu, her friend and I met them at Ngee Ann Polytechnic and got to take pictures with them hehe. Come to think of it, this is actually our first proper photo taken together with a celebrity (": It's weird actually, calling them celebs, but I'm not sure what else to address them as so oh well.

Us with Taylor aka Beard Guy

Us with Sarah

Us with Marshall

Us with Gianni

 Didn't get to take a picture with Joel though ): The pictures aren't that nice, but they're still memories after all. Editing them to make them look better was such a chore, and I got lazy after awhile. We hi-5ed Taylor when we wished him a good show hehe. He's so cute, like a giant bear (-:
Didn't manage to get the meet and greet tickets for their show, but it was still great (-:

 
 
 

That's them in the crowd to take a picture together. Spot us around the mic at the left (; They actually came down to dance together with everyone in the crowd cause they said that the crowd seemed quiet and shy hahah. Got to say that I actually didn't like the crowd cause they weren't crazy enough lol. But thank god WOTE was awesome. They honestly sound as good as they are in their videos, which made the concert 145654634x better!
Other than that, while everyone was preparing for exams in the coming week, Cheu and I went to enjoy ourselves at USS on Saturday lol what are we doing with our lives. Everyone should honestly enjoy life while they can though! Didn't go for much rides cause SOMEONE didn't wanna sit the roller coasters hahahah. Had fun taking pictures with the mascots though. Headed to MBS to meet my fam for a little cousin's birthday, and we were blessed with this incredibly huge suite zomg. Incredibly huge as in bigger than my house huge. Can you believe it......  How many 11 year olds can honestly say that they celebrated their 11th birthday in a MBS suite? Us kids spent the night playing hide and seek and singing to random oldies and weird songs in the Karaoke Room. Yes, there was a freakin' Karaoke Room inside. Such an exciting week for me, I love my life (":

Guys, I think I might be hooked on to We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, hence the post's title. Currently putting it on replay, oh no. Anw, gonna spend my holidays working and playing and spending $$$$. Also, grandmother isn't exactly in the best of health. Hope she gets better really really soon cause I'm starting to get scared. Everything's gonna be fine.
