but i don’t mind; as long as there’s a bed beneath the stars that shine.

nanowrimo starts tmrw! then i’ll have 30 days (only 25 at the computer though) to write a full-length novel of 50,000 words. sounds absolutely amazing and i’m not sure how i’m gonna do it!

i finished watching shark and then moved on to (surprise, surprise) gossip girl.
it’s addictive but i’d still prefer shark/pushing daisies/alias anytime.
except that i’ve finished shark and alias (gonna watch alias again when my DVDs come back) and i’ve watched all of pushing daisies that’s available for now.
so i ended up sleeping at like 5am, woke up at 1plus and lazed around,
then went down to PS and bought my very pricey capri pants from espirit, but it’s worth it

i think i need to do more shopping soon.

came home and went running… and it was really terrible today i walked most of the 8km because i just seriously couldn’t run anymore. i think i had too heavy a lunch i feel terribly unfit now hopefully, this is just one off.

missed out on each other now.

life without school is good

had an enormous lunch with mum at IKEA; the upside of going abroad (i.e. to western countries like US/UK) is that i will thrive on the food there. i doubt i will miss chinese food because i think being brought up with western food in africa has shaped me quite abit.

then met up with fer and went shopping!! highly unsuccessful though, although i have come to the realization that i have humoungous hips which makes finding a fitting pair of jeans/pants a terrible ordeal. yeah that’s not my fault, but i’ve also realized that i am getting fat again which is bad, obviously.

met nush after that found a pair of capris at esprit which i will probably go back to buy! and then we had a huge dinner which was quite yummy, and included subway which i haven’t had in ages!

so today was another binge day with lots of food. i really want to go down to sentosa soon, and get some sleep so i feel up to going for a run! i’m 4 episodes away from finishing SHARK and abit sad about it. i think after that will be movie marathons and ALIAS and maybe something more brainless like OTH. i like in anticipation for the next episode of pushing daisies to be put up.

look at us; it’s now or never

i feel rather annoyed with myself and … stuff.
it starts with not being able to watch pushing daisies on ABC because i’m not in america, and enlisting the help of the mac genius kang-an but still not being able to watch it because my connection just sucks to the max,
and then youku is probably one of the worst sites in the world, taking forever and ever to load, and i can’t even download from it even though kang-an managed to figure it out.

minus that i actually feel quite contented with (and grateful for) the rest of my existencethat doesn’t involve watching videos or wishing twilight would come out tomorrow instead of next next month (!!) because the WAIT is killing me. i hate suspense it really just kills me.

i have big plans on how i’m going to enjoy my holidays and i’m looking forward to it;
i really hope things don’t turn disastrous.

school today was entirely pointless – utter waste of my time.
and zomg, i’m growing all fat and flabby again !!! ):

wouldn’t it be grand? it ain’t exactly what you planned.

besides a painful, swollen eye, today was amazingly good
i feasted, and ate enough to feed a cow =X

lunch with mum at swenson’s, sundaes ftw!
then dinner with aunty kelly at gelare, waffles pwnage.

in between, shoppinggg!!!

major splurge of the week (a $4.50 magazine, just because it had SOMEONE on it. no prizes for guessing who.)

i wish there was a pullout poster ): the movie comes out in singapore 18th december, ONE DAY before my supercool musical SO i think watching it will have to be put off ): but it comes out in the US november 21st so… i’ll be grabbing a sneak preview.

i can’t wait! seeing the magazine cover totally made my day. (okay and shopping with mummy after that just made my day even more fantabulous)

i thought this looked like a nice addition to my dwindling collection of string
i’m a little addicted again after learning the caterpillar style,
and well i just like seeing lots of colours in my string box.

we were both young when i first saw you.

quick post before i go back to SHARK
okay so first my right eye got swollen and now its my right eye ): i hope i recover quickly.

ate super alot today; pasta+soup for lunch, then a supar big dinner at grace’s house!
i think a run is (over)due.

attempted (and failed) to watch HSM3 on grace’s comp, so ended up watching juno instead which wouldn’t load either ):

i’m still thinking about whether i should take SATs;
or what i want in the future even.
right now i am not exactly partial to NUS Law cos there’s no subway there (just bad canteen food) which has both pros and cons-
but yeah i figure my final uni decision should not be decided based on food.

so…what next?

all the cards begin to stack up, twisting

okay i really, really will start on I&R tonight, my procrastination is reaching new levels!

i spent last night perfecting this pattern…

just based on the picture above. i think i am getting some of my touch back at this!

today was a little hectic at church but quite fun all the same
went grocery shopping with dad and now i have MORE blueberry morning and yoghurt too.
then hung out with ferrrr at starbucks and had some icecream after that.

this new obsession with icecream is not very good for me but ahwell.
…and then i fell down while getting off the bus.
thankfully 1. the bus didn’t move off and 2. i didn’t sprain my ankle

youku takes foreverrrr to buffer but i’m finally at episode 7 for shark season 2 (!) and episode 3 for pushing daisies just came in!!!

i like life slow, like this, but packed at the same time to a manageable extent so it’s actually quite fun

this love is difficult, but it’s real.

i am quite addicted to love story by taylor swift!

dance class today was… well i’m not rusty despite a fortnight without dancing. in fact, i think i’m reaching new levels in the dance we’re doing. and today i managed to perfect this rather difficult step (!!) called wings although i still cannot pirouhette which makes me quite sad ):

then lunch with dad, followed by a walk along the henderson waves!!! which is a relatively interesting nature trail. took almost a hundred pictures and put my camera to good use dad tried teaching me photography by pointing out stuff i should take that required major zooming in (i.e. plants) although i’m quite a bad student and will never live up to his very fabulous photography skills (partially cos i don’t have that much interest in still life).
dinner was at botak jones and it was a tiny serving zomg. if it wasn’t so nice i wouldn’t go back there anymore since they’re continually shrinking their portions nowadays! :/

i’m trying to upload the photos on facebook now but it’s not really working out.
i still haven’t finished i&r, but i really need to start soon! i’m just terribly hooked on shark.
shark is a TV series about a really cool lawyer btw, not a nature documentary.

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.

(<3, if you see this)

memories.

have been thinking much about the past lately.
whether it’s as recent as BM, or distant nightmares, or the somewhere-in-between lower sec life where braiding friendship bands used to be our favourite pastime. i doubt any of us still braids, even i just do it on the sides and lately i’ve started again and i realize that i’ve forgotten some of the old patterns.

last night was quite fabulous;
bustling around preparing a nice big prezzie, and baking with mum, and satay for supper!
it was the first time i have ever baked (or rather just assisted in the baking since mum wouldn’t dare leave me alone with the oven because i’m a fire hazard) so for those lucky people who got to try the brownies today, appreciate it! (cause i am so not baking again for a long, long time.)
stayed up till 2, in between sampling the fresh brownies and watching shark.

research proposal finished & handed in; but i think i missed the deadline :/
i&r remains undone. (tonight!)

went to school for a short while today, gwen braided my hair very nicely but my hair is too layered for that style, sadly. although i like that style!

then went to visit mum. came home. went for a run which was decent, gave a shorter route cos i had last minute musical rehearsal, which went okay. (my stamina’s improving!)
but there were a few exhilarating parts of my run/jog i broke into a sprint of sorts, where i could really feel the wind hard in my face, where i felt like i was going against the wind and ….

that felt really good.

and going down this slope was amazing. i felt like i was pocahontas in that scene where she sprints until she leaps off the cliff like an eagle, and to close my eyes while running down a slope was scary, but i got a high when i opened my eyes and saw the ground rushing up at me,

all in less than a minute.

i may not be a very good runner (especially after one week of not running, my calves were screaming pain in the middle of the run after my sprints of sorts), but i definitely enjoy it.

two very crazy and very happy people

bm days were da bomb.

what hurts the most is being so close the distance
and having so much to say, and watching you walk away

as much as i like the airport, i cannot face the departure hall because i have had too many sad goodbyes there.

i think i’m a little too sentimental.

i’ll be waiting, all there’s left to do is run.

hate it when it rains, then i can’t run ):
percentiles came back today, and they’re are another surprise, but at least i’m above average so i’m not too perturbed. i cringe at being compared to seniors though. maybe next year’s batch will have an easier time since my batch is supposedly so bad.

spent the afternoon in NLB and it’s great to study there, quiet and scenic.
i collected a thick pile of about 20 books i whittled down eventually to like 7.
and… i’ve realized that i actually kinda like doing this pick books from shelves and extract information thing, so i really hope i get in for what i’m applying for :/

i’m on the 3rd episode of season 2 of shark! and i really wish youku would buffer faster!
(i’m watcing videos with deadlines looming tomorrow. how wonderful.)
amanda intro-ed me a new song today, it’s called love story & it’s by taylor swift (whom i quite like). it’s a rather nice song.

today… someone just grew a conscience
but sadly for you  i couldn’t care less
you said you’re sorry (i don’t believe you)
i forgot to mention it was too late.

even in the daylight, shine on.

i am so exhausted i can’t believe it. i fall asleep on moving vehicles (sounds familiar) and i fell asleep on my couch when i meant to just take a few winks before going off for a run.
but it was raining anyway, and i was just too tired
so i went out to run some errands at vivo! i like vivo. much.

pushing daisies episode 3 ain’t online yet i hope someone uploads it soon.
but i found SHARK season 2 which i will watch, once i am done with first draft of I&R.

ocs visit today wasn’t as bad as expected. the view from the SAFTI Tower is amazing. honestly. its super breezy, and would be the most perfect tourist attration (nicer than merlion!! cos it has a better view).

the tower

<3

firing the SAR-21 was really scary though i’m glad i won’t have to be doing it regularly. so i guess this probably ends my career prospects as a spy since the recoil from guns creeps me out.
