Punishment (And Reward)
Yesterday night was a nightmare. I typed stuff, printed stuff, shuttled back and forth between the living room and my bedroom, picked out appropriate seashells and stuck "RECYCLED" materials with PVA/double-sided tape to the mounting boards, sprayed paint, sketched in the bloody sketchbook.
At long last i got some sleep, only to get a deep shock at how little time i had for my sleep when i was awakened by the alarm. I fell in and out of sleep, finally setting off for school.
Wilson's class today was about using different mediums to paint. We did 11 examples on A4, then we did our best 6 on A3, to be submitted. It was considerably early when i finished, and Huong and my group and i went down for lunch. We ate at the benches in front of LT25. Then Huong went off to her group. We did our stuff, drawing and sketching away. At 1.50pm we went up to class, but our classmates told us we were going for the OSIP talk. It was a talk by students who went for Overseas Internships Programmes.
So damn cool lah, from what we see from the presentation. The first group went to China, the second to Cambodia, where they ate frogs and insecty food. I ALSO WANT! I love to go to these ulu ulu villages.
Then we went to class at 3pm. I actually got Task 2 of Assignment One misunderstood. But never mind; there were many misunderstandings and misinterpretations in the class. After that we went into shop display stuff, and then Kristine showed us how to handle mannequins. I learnt something new today! Much more from what i know from Dano.
5pm, RELEASED. YAY! I was half-asleep already, but i went to TM and visited Shi Yng. One customer Annie Loh, whom i remembered serving some months back, came. She is a friendly and kind lady. We were all standing near the counter. Then she asked me about my age, then talked about me looking for her when i turn 21. HAHA. Not to buy insurance, but to help her sell insurance, then what about 4 years going by very quickly, and she passed me her namecard. AIA Manager. WOW. I had nothing to say, so i just said, "Oh, AIA". HAHAHA. And she passed a namecard to Shi Yng too. Hmm... weird hor. Haha. Shi Yng said maybe she'll have commission from those working under her. Wah like that i secure a job already. HAHA.
At 6+pm i left and took a walk around. Then i went home 6 plus 7. Finally a relaxed night.
I can't wait for next weekend. Damnation!
Oh my god. The third time already. Just give me the creeps.
Bye.

On Task, Not
Last night i slept at around 1am. So today i got up at around 11am. I cleaned the cages, and went to clean the seashells after that.
Oh my god it was a tremendously scary experience. I had this apprehensive feeling of picking up something, anything from the plastic bag, cause i don't know what i'll get. FIrstly, i got shocked by this cone shell thingy. There was a rock stuck to the "mouth" of it. I tried to pull it out but it was airtight. Then somehow i ran water over it and it came off by its own. Peculiar, huh. I got the second shock in the shape of a pincer. I certainly was aware that didi and i had picked one each, but i just happened to take hold of it and i got a FREAKY shock. HAHA. Dangerous liaison over here. I got another shock when i was washing one of the shells. Something slipped out, I thought it was just the sand flowing, but turns out that a crab was flowing out of it! I shrieked thrice only. HAHA. After that didi and i made a home for it, complete with sand, gillyweed and a shell(that i think was his original one).
After that I slacked around and fell asleep at mama's bed. 3 or 4 plus then. I woke up at 5++pm, and didi and i went to Compass Point. Bought the necessary project stuff at Popular and Home-Fix and played Stacker at the arcade. Damn I almost got the major prize TWICE. Had dinner at KFC, went to Watsons and we went back.
On the way home, we saw police cars and policemen at Block 240. There were two police cars and another one drove in. We walked around to see what was happening. We walked closer, then i overheard one policeman telling a couple sitting there to wait for someone else to come. I think interrogation or something. I didn't see anything except for a van and a sedan car which had the right window smashed. Not really smashed, but like cracked into bits like that. I suspected that it was a car theft.
Then we went to play with Snuppy and Bunny and we went home.
I only started work at 7pm. Oh man. The amount of work i've yet to complete is simply astonishing and incredible.
Bye.

No Life
10plus i got awakened by the phone's ringing. Then i went to slacked at mama and papa's room. Only did i know that Nicky had delivered the mounting boards to my home when mama told me off. Haha THANK YOU!
At noon mama, didi and i set off for a fulfilling day (cackles cackles). It was raining super heavily. It has not stopped raining after the day Smoky said goodbye. We had lunch at Sin Ming Road(Anything and Whatever time, didi's one is so NICE but mine was chrysanthemum plus a drop of Mountain Dew), attempted to make friends with a dog, then we went to collect the glasses. WOO-la-la. I got a free Esprit Eyewear sling bag cause there was a promotion. So lucky right? Wahaha.
[Oh my foolishness i just realised i have left my handphone in the car. Damnation!]
After that we went to Pasir Ris Park (when the sky was finally clearer) and i started to pick all the seashells/clams i can find. And rocks as well. We talked about the old times we went there for dinner and just a walk around. So mama and i made a resolution of coming back every Saturday evening (i wanna learn to ride a bike! And didi can roller-blade here.) I felt that the beach is not as clean already. And the waves are weak. By the way i got the shells for IVM Assignment 1, cause everything about Assignment 1, 2, who knows 3, 4 or 5... for IVM is about using RECYCLED items. What the bloody hell right?
Somehow we went back to Sin Ming Road again, then i went to get wires and some nails from the bin centre. HAHA. Cause the company is in charge of that place, so it's okay.
Next stop, Temple. Ah boy was missing. So didi and i went to search for him. Mama called to say an uncle had said that he has not been home for 2 days, except for last night, as another uncle said. We passed by the community club and they were having some kind of aerobic walkout; the music goes "Shake bon, shake bon..." Haha. Alas!
The search was futile, so we went back. We drove off to AMK Central when papa came to get some stuff done. And i got nuts and bolts/nails, similarly, for the dumb/retarded/waste-of-money project.
Went back Temple again. Didi and i went up to 7-Eleven to get instant noodles and brought them down to Temple. Myojo CHicken and Nong Sin La Mian. Yum.
We were actually driving home, but we saw the hua che along the road. There was around 11 or 12 in total. We followed them all around. Sometimes we got lost, or we were told to go another way by the Auxiliary police following the trucks, and in the end we lost them cause we took a wrong road. HAHA.
So we reached home at around 12am.
I collected a lot of "recycled" items today - soft drinks cans (which i saved from the cleaning auntie)
nails/nuts/bolts
stuff from the beach (shells, rocks, gillyweed haha, sand stucked
inside the shells)
wire
I just can't face the fact that i have finish up the bloody assignments tomorrow, and bloody Kristine's bloody vague instructions aren't of any help. AT ALL. And the bloody shitty ass sucking sketchbook for 2DArF (which fortunately is on fashion).
BUT it is confirmed! Next weekend we are going to Perengang with Temple/Kenyir people. YAY! HURRAY! YIPEE! There was a hesitation for the past few days cause didi is having Prelims Oral next Saturday. But it's confirmed we are going, except that we are going to join the main group later. YESSS!
Bye bye for now.

Muse
F-R-I-D-A-Y. WEEHOO!
2DArF today was about doing the colour wheel. We had photocopied the diagram of the Itten's colour wheel on Wednesday, but Wilson says they were not accceptable cause they were cut off at the sides. So Huong and I went to re-photocopy. They copied a lot of times to get it right.
Oh yes! By the way b4 class started i went all the way to Cheers just to buy 2 magazines cause Wilson told us to bring but i forgot. When i came back he was asking me ,"Class is already starting and you went to buy your things?" So i just told him i went to buy them as i had forgotten and apologised. I took ten minutes(mostly spent on choosing the cheapest mag) and by the time i returned it was 9.15am. Wow. I'm always disappearing from class.
So we started on it. Wilson offered me a mint when he borrowed my pencil. Cool. At least he doesn't have a real bad impression of me. I wasted a lot of time to get the colours correct, especially at the violet part. So as usual i was the last one to complete. HAHAHA. Everyone handed in and left, while i stayed behind with Huong cause she wanted to show her wrapping paper to Wilson. Me, I didn't. I knew perfectly that mine won't be accepted cause it has only two colours - pink and silver. So i waited with her while waiting for my mama. And we distributed the stuff we have to bring for Monday's class.
At 1pm i went to Basheer. I got a magazine at $10, "Self-Service at $35", and a illustration book at $28. Long story for the third. I walked back and forth a lot of times before deciding to get it. Then i asked the Indian uncle to give me a discount since it was the last piece. Apparently he didn't want to give me a discount, cause he went in search of a new one, but no. Then i think he went to consult his wife of something.
And so i got it at $28. He gave me an additional change of $10 HAHA but of course, as an upright citizen i gave it back to him. I'm glad i got the illustration one. Whee wow.
Then mama drove us to Hougang Mall. I went for lunch. MY FAVOURITE FISHY SOUP! YAY! Hey, and the fourth floor turns out to be a eating extravaganza as well. So there's eating to be done at the second floor, fourth floor and fifth floor. CRAZY business. So the fifth floor food court is trying to keep its business by selling the drinks at 50 cents each with min. purchase of $2 from any stall.
After that i went to meet mama at Fairprice. I bought my stuff needed for Monday's 2DArF, and I went off to buy other stuff. Value$, got some class stuff like cotton bud. Harvey Norman. I wanted to buy a mouse. Okay. So there are the optical ones, a lot of them, and wireless ones, a few only. The cheapest wireless is at $29.90, which is Ah-pek kuan. Then got this normal tiger-stripes one at $25. And some others not worth mentioning. And i discovered another kind, with leopard spots on it and a double-click button. I couldn't make up my mind, so i went off to Popular. I couldn't find the mounting boards WHAT THE HECK! I got wrapping paper.
I went back to Harvey Norman again. And got the tiger one. HAHA. In the end i didn't get wireless.
After that went to dabao Mcd for didi, and mama came back to fetch me after fetching didi.
AH the rest of the day was shit. I packed my room, and halfway through i was caught up with player with makeup and hair curlers (oh my god this is the second time already HELP). HAHA.
Then i slept while watching tv. All the way till 10plus.
And now i'm here!
Tomorrow we are going to collect the glasses and we are going to Pasir Ris Park. To collect seashells.
She see seashells on the seashore
Seashells she see on the seashore...
Ciao.

Life's Like This
This morning i got awakened by mama. Thank goodness. If not i'll still be in slumberland. I was in a very exciting dream, you see. It involves stealing from a departmental store HAHA.
But fortunately i made it in time for class. At Orchard Road. Haha. Actually we were there for our IVM field trip. I arrived at 8.30am, far too early. So while i walked around the area I saw Kristine, and she asked me to wait at the Bee Cheng Hiang is. She went into Marriott Hotel i-don't-know-why. Anyway i crept off to Lucky Plaza. Went up to the 2nd floor and paid twenty cents for entrance fee to the toilet. Ha. Then i got a Hashbrown from Mcd and went back to the meeting place. Okay. Most of the class were there already.
One more person came and we went off. Kristine talked about the windows. We all took down notes and pics. CK Tangs, then Lucky Plaza, followed by Paragon, and Centrepoint. We were released at 10.40am. So we went to Mcd, sat down in our groups, and some started eating. After that our group started discussing. By around 11++am we were done. We then set off to buy wrapping paper for tmr's 2DArF.
Walked to Takashimaya, into Kinokuniya, and then Taka departmental store. The three of them found their stuff, but nothing appealed to me. Just when i gave up hope (wah so drastic haha) we saw these wrapping paper at the cahsier behind the counter. Cool. I got one at $2.90 (i have good taste =D) and we left.
I followed them around for the rest of the day. Leisure activities- SHOPPING. Couldn't really shop much cause not that shou mah. First we went to Mango. Ev has friends there so there's a 30% discount. P tried on clothes. C bought two pieces. We stayed there super long so i tried on some for fun. Hahaha. Finally we left at 1++pm. HAHA. Women!
Next stop was Mephosis- E's got 40% discount. P tried on but didn't get anything again. Next stop, Esprit. I got a shirt! Haha. No discount cause it's already discounted! (E's got 30% off.) C left to meet her friend at Bugis. P was sad cause she didn't get anything. Haha so we went into Fashion Lab at Wisma Atria. They told us to wait for a piece someone else was bringing in. Meanwhile i went to get a cookie from Famous Amos (the only FOOD shop in the vicinity). And P finally was happy~ Haha.
I got brushes from Popular for 2DArF, even though i wasn't sure if i already have those needed. Couldn't care less nowadays. Then Ev and I took the Marina Bay train while P went the other way. I got off at Dhoby Ghaut. And i headed for home.
Back to Compass Point again, baby. I went to Metro and finally got a pair of sandals. Then i went in search of wrapping paper. No much that could triumph my present one. I transversed between Hallmark and Shamrock and got some stuff for my beloved(shh!). Ah. And i got Potpourri from Value$ at $1.05. I thought maybe it would be useful for my projects. Whatever.
A cup of Pearl Milk Tea and i'm home. Just bathed. ARGH and i have to do homework for tomorrow.
Just a week, and all these things happen. All the time.
A Summary of My Assignments:
27 July 2007, Friday (tomorrow)
1. 2DArF - 2 Viewfinder drawings (1 done, 1 not done, and the done one needs to be redone) and reflections
(done)
- 3 pinhole drawings (all done in school) and reflections (done)
- Tonal Values (done)
- Vase (Halfway done)
And i have to bring:
Brushes, newspaper, bottle (to wash brushes), wrapping paper (for Wilson's evaluation for the next next exercise) and the blah and the blah and the blah blah blah.
30 July, Monday
1. IVM - Assignment 1 (Individual) [laying out of stuff and more laying out of stuff and more money wasted when we are supposed to use recycled items but yet we have to frame them up which
equals to WASTE OF MONEY!!!]
- Groupwork 1 - Layout of store (which i think we are doing tmr)
- Groupwork 2 - Swarovski window display
- Groupwork 3 - Proposal regarding the use of recycled materials to make a lampshade.
Ah yes... I expect more to come. But anyway, Kristine pushed all the assignments forward so that we'll not be too busy by the end of the block. Instead, they'll all be exercises nearing the end of this god damn block.
Oh goodbye. Have to rush now.
Ah. How i love watching tv while doing nonsensical homework (a.k.a. DRAWING/SHADING or whatever bullshit). Or it should be doing nonsensical homework (a.k.a. DRAWING/SHADING or whatever bullshit) while watchinG TV.
WAHAHAHA.
Ta-dah!

Keeling Over
Aha! No class tmr for 2DArf. Every Thurs, no 2DArF. Every Friday, no IVM. Each to his rights. HAHA~
After class we continued to draw, then at 1pm we went down for lunch. It's funny cause i brought all my stuff down but Huong didn't. I scared my Harry got lost/stolen lah~. HAHA. Yep i started reading it last night.
We went to the Basheer Fair. Sells books and magazines at very very affordable prices. I was browsing through the magazines. Then i decided on two. One was not so near-perfect. So i asked if there was a new piece. No. And one of the two girls standing beside me asked for the price. $5. I already knew that. SO i picked up those two mags and told the uncle,"I'll take these two" and he went to pack them. Somehow i wandered to the other side and back to where i was again, and i overheard one of the girls telling the other(the one who asked for the price) that "I wanted that copy". Aww... they sounded so sad. So despaired. Oh~ Oh~ Oh~ BUT you have to be quick, girl! The strong one always wins MUHAHAHAHA. Then we went for lunch.
And i retardedly followed Huong up again. HAHA so lame. All the rest were gone. Lucky ah lucky i took my belongings with me. We went to ADM Studio.
Krisitine came and class started. I've been fighting so hard these few days not to fall asleep in class. HA. Today's class was about the layout of window displays. Quite interesting, but quite dry, so much that my skin was sallow-ing. Okay, okay...
After class i went to TM Popular to get some stuff. OH my GOODNESS i saw two classmates there but they didn't see me. Thank Buddha. (Tiffany, are u seeing this? Haha.) I got my stuff and headed home. No time to visit Dano nowadays.
Bathed, slacked, watched tv and did homework at the same time, drink milo, chat on msn. Multi-tasking is pretty important these days. Like having dinner, we can't even have a proper/quiet/peaceful one. The TV has to be on, ain't it?
Wow. Tons of homework which mostly I don't know how to go about it, or even how to do it.
Not including the 50-page sketchbook we gotta hand in by the end of the block.
GOD DAMN!

A New Me
I was the noisiest in the class.
And now
A new me i've found.
I'm the quietest in the class.
The most hardworking.
Maybe cause
There's someone noisier than me?
Maybe all interested in ADM
Are all noisy by nature?
This sounds beneficial
But i'm actually afraid
To see them all.
I wonder if i'd ever find a mate
In this god-forsaken place.
Sometimes i unleash my real personality
No, just almost
But something reins me in.
Again.
Blah blah blah.
Joke
For the lesson today, we did "Tonal Values", which includes drawing boxes (AGAIN!) and then filling them in with different tones, and coming up with patterns for all the tones. I redid my work at 10.30am, which was one and a half hours after class started. And Wilson obviously saw it, and came over to talk to me. It's really creepy you know, you can feel~ him looking at what you're doing.
And one classmate was obviously trying too hard on her work.
Then we started on the second part of the assignment, which is to draw out a shape (in this case, a vase, which Wilson placed in front of us) and then add the patterns we drew onto the shape (in the form of boxes). Aiya like very confusing, but actually it's not.
Huong and I stayed back to finish up the work, but i didn't finish mine HAHA. Bored and sick of it lah. My hands were super dirty already, and in turn they smudged the paper. Blotchy black patches YUCKS.
Then Huong started to fill in her consent forms. And i asked,"You signing it yourself?" "Of course. This (referring to the "21 years and below parent's consent" section) is for 21 years and below". "So how old are you? (aiya take the chance and ask mah)" "You guess?" I guessed 22, but WRONG. My bro still said that she looks at most 20 years old.
And i went to was standing up to pack my stuff while she filled uo the form. I stole a glance at the "Age:___" line, and Huong started to write, but stopped at the second digit. Oops. It's kinda like a inverted 'C' in the number "3". So i pretty much guessed her age. We went our own ways after that.
After that i went to the payphone to call Nicky ( i only discovered i didn't bring my phone when we got into the expressway. I left it charging at home). HAHA she was in class.
After that i went to the library to draw a new piece of today's work. I want it CLEAN. And the damn CD player is out of battery again. Damnation.
Went for class at 3pm. Christine Foong was reprimanding a student there. Then Kristine brought us to the Heavy Duty Workshop, where we went though a torturous tour around the workshop and the materials store. As usual, the technical officers were uncles who spoke broken English. One of them. Mister Lee boasted that some of the machinery were found in the industry, and even universities don't have them. Not even Engine school. Wow. And the lecturers can have their car painted at the Spray Paint section. COOL.
We were finally released at 5.20pm. Mama came at 6.10pm. Finally, home. But we dropped by at Block 308 first. I asked mama to buy me fish soup, but she got me mixed veg rice- rice and a piece of fish. HAHA. Why? Cause there's no fish soup. I loveeee fish.
I've to complete the tonal values tonight. SAD. My bro just told me he finished reading Harry Potter yesterday night. Now it's my turn. Yay. But no time leh. How?
Idle
After blogging from the CAD Lab (filled with people) i left for class at the ADM Studio. Third floor, IVM, Kristine Tan. At first Kristine portrayed herself as a strict and no-nonsense lecturer, but after that she turned out to be a nice auntie. HAHA. And we were gonna have field trips. Sounds so The Magic School Bus right? (Anyway the field trips are to CK Tangs and Little India.
After that i took the bus home. Damn tired all the way i reached home. Bathed and just slacked in front of the google box. Cause i was simply TIRED.
But after that i somehow picked up the energy and i couldn't sleep till 11.30pm. What the hell. I'm just not fated to sleep early.
That's all.

Going Back
Today mama fetched Nicky and I to school. Nicky escorted me to 05-03 for 2D Art Fundamentals. We were seated in a semi-circle, like an inverse C-shape. Wilson, the lecturer, started off by briefing about the schedule(we don't have lessons every Thursday, but unfortunately National Day is on Thursday = one less hoilday. Aww so sad.).
Then he started to introduce himself, and asked us to intro ourselves. He went by the namelist. At first everyone started to say where they live blah blah, then Wilson changed the topic to making the rest describe the person. Okay blah blah... MY TURN. Oh gosh. There was silence. PURE silence. But when Wilson prompted the class, someone said,"She is quite quiet lah" and then Wilson said,"That is not very good..." I just gave a feeble smile lor. And someone(i think i know who) said,"She loves to wear ties!" And Wilson was like "Really?!" BLAH BLAH BLAH. He was quite understanding, and changed the topic after me. He said,"Okay, let's change the topic. Now you tell us what you want to achieve from this course". So people started to give their aspirations.
After that I went to the toilet on the 3rd floor. Then i came back to do the viewfinder. It's just this card with a box cut out from the middle, and then you paste a film of plastic over it, and draw grids on the plastic sheet. I did it wrongly. I actually cut out a box, not cut out the box. HAHA. As realisation hit me Wilson handed me a new piece of cardboard. And i continued. Through the lesson i was actually smsing, and i think Wilson saw it once or twice. Then after i cut out the box, he came by, and i was fiddling with my phone again. So he said,"Are you okay with it? Calculating?" I replied,"Fifteen by twelve right?" He said "Yes" and walked away. He is a very kind man, isn't he?
And we completed drawing it. After that we were to draw the same thing on A3 paper. We placed five objects on a table in front of us, and we have to draw on the paper what we see through the viewfinder.
The next part of the lesson, we were told to do pinhole drawing, where we poke the pencil through a piece of paper which would cover what we were drawing. Meaning, we were not allowed to see what we were drawing. I was paired with Huong anyway. And we "drew" the shoes. 3 in total.
Homework was allocated. A viewfinder drawing, and the reflections for the viewfinder and pinhole drawings.
Lesson ended at 11.30pm, but i saw many people still at work, which i can't figure out why, cause we were told to draw out the shapes only.
After class i went to look for Mich at ITAS. Had lunch with her and her friends, then i went along to their group meeting as well. They had this role-play thing which was hilarious. But very good presentation overall. HAHAHA. "Bus fighter" hahahahahahaha.
They rehearsed, and i escorted Nicky up to class at 2pm. And i went to Cheers. Now i'm here. CAD Lab. Not Studio. Over are the days of Digital Essentials. Sobs.
I'll be back at night.
Bye for now.

Fiesta
Sunday Fiesta. I woke up at 12pm cause i slept at 3am yesterday making CDs. And then after slacking for some time, brothers and I set off. And i discovered i left my wallet behind in the car yesterday DAMN.
So i got the standard ticket and we went to Somerset. The show starts at 4.10pm. Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix. So we went in early, popcorn and all.
The movie was... just a Harry Potter film standard. Of course it can't be better than the book itself. But bro said it was better than Goblet of Fire.
After that we walked to Dhoby Ghaut. Played a game of the drum-hitting game at the arcade, and we went home. Actually we wanted to play Dota, but it was getting late. So, sadly... SIGH tomorrow school starts again.
We dabao stuff home at CP. Then i was just watching tv till just now.
Pretty tired. So much for the weekend.

Euphoria
So today Nicky and I went for the PDP (Personal Development Programme). "Working Women's Professional Image". I thought it would be like a workshop on how to conduct yourself and blah blah blah, but it turned out to be a MAKE-UP workshop.
And then the first part was pretty dry, about skincare, most which i've learnt from Ladies' First (a.k.a. Nu Ren Wo Zui Da). Then we wore this milkmaid looking hairband and they gave us the cleanser and moisturiser to try.
The next part was makeup. Foundation, concealer, eyeshadow, lipstick. Boring shit. Okay. Not THAT boring, but i wished i was learning something more useful and applicable. After that everyone went for the balance session, where the two ladies from Shiseido balanced up the makeup you've just put on. I thought that all the people who attended this course looked weird. Like country bumpkins kinda... yeah. My balance session was the FASTEST i guess. She just trimmed the brows and glided on some loose powder.
Nicky's took a bit longer and we were the last to leave. At least we got the door gift which consists of a lot of gimmicky samples.
After that Nicky left and i waited for mama, drenched in the rain. We went for lunch at Bedok. And then we went to the optician. Okay. Now let me do the explaining. This optical shop is the one my mother's friend opened, and the business has been passed on to his daughters. We've been there ever since i was like in kindergarten or something. Long long long long history lah.
Yay. Finally for a change. After trying on dozens of frames (literally), I got the ONE. HAHAHA. My papa, mama and didi agreed that that pair was the best for me. It just happens that the auntie there (they have two workers right now) helped me pick out the colour that she thought would suit my skin colour. Aiya. I wanted to get this gorgeous creamish yellow, but it didn't look nice.
Then i randomly tried on a pair of Esprit sunglasses, and they said it was nice. So mama said that if my vision has not worsened, i can make a pair of sunglasses, then she crap about her younger days when she also wore sunglasses out with her friends on picnics blah blah. HAHAHA. So i went for the check. "GOOD", "VERY GOOD" pretty much sums up of what i said. HAHA. And for once i didn't have any increase in myopia. WEE HOO. AND I CAN HAVETHE SUNGLASSES DONE! Oh my goodness that just thrills me so much. Heh heh.
After that we dropped by at Chinatown Maxwell Hawker Centre, then we went to AMK to look for my GuGu. OUI is aunt lah, but that's what we call her. Then we went home. I immediately plonked down on the bed and slept. I think it was 6.30++pm by then.
And i slept all the way to 8.30pm, although i was still very sleepy. And i watched tv, and now i'm here.
OH GOSH Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows is out!!! Bro went to get it today at Popular and he was just reading it just now(now he's off to sleep). Cool man. I can't wait. But then when i think of that fucking bitch who can't keep the spoilers to herself, it just makes my blood boils. KILL HER! Kill her! Kill her!
Ooh you've gotta watch the new Channel U 10pm show. I forgot what's the name but it is a superb show. And the who is damn handsome in it. Zhang Zhi Lin. Tiffany knows what i'm talking about. *Winkys*
That's all. I gonna make my CDs. And maybe steal a peek at the book.
Bye.

Dum Diddly
Cause i'm simply too happy. It's the end of the block PEEPS! Yay. But it's already a block that's quite relaxed. Next week starts 2D Art Fundamentals and Introduction to Visual Merchandising. Oh my god i can't do no drawing.
I'm now hearing out JJ's new album. Quite disappointing lah.
Anyway here's what today was about.
Dum dum diddly dum (sorry can't control the excitement haha).
I woke up reluctantly at 10.30pm after offing the alarm at 9am. HAHA. Then i went to draw the development of ideas and the final designs for the DiEss assignment. Actually i didn't really have any cause i did everything on the screen. Mama bought lunch back. After lunch we set off for school.
I reached at 1.30pm. Far too early. Wrapped up the drawings and packed up the files in the hard drive. Quite messy, cause you need to have the linked files. I doubt you know what i'm about. You just need to know it took four or five CDs. I thought i brought enough. But i used up all four and have to go to the bookshop last minute to biuy five more(just in case). And i settled it and gave it to Mister Yong Kin. Woo i like to see Yong Kin in his super-small fitting T-shirts. Haha.
Oh my god. One bitch in class has to bitch about the spoilers she saw from the internet. For? Harry Potter, The Deathly Hallows. Oh fuck.
Then i went to play Extreme Pamplona at Miniclip again. Yong Kin saw but he didn't care lah, of course. Then we started on InDesign again. We did Character and Paragraph today. After that we could leave. I left at 5++pm. Oh so sad to end this class cause it's so slacky, no frills (no presentation, no sweaty shirts a la TexMan blah blah blah) and you have unlimited access to the internet. SOBS man.
Then i went to TM to get my stuff from Sembawang(CD) and Popular(stuff needed for 2DArFun) and went to slack at Dano after just going there before i went to Popular. GO and kajiao Shi Yng and Siew Foon lor. Then Nicky came at 6++pm and we went to shop around. I got 3 bracelets today hurray.
Due to budget concerns, we had dinner at the food court. (There's a cool 70's/80's kopitiam exhibition beside Umeya.) Then just when to chill a bit and headed home.
Ooh-la-la. Tomorrow's gonna be a fulfilling day.
Ciao.

Crossover
Soon, the block's gonna end. By "soon", i mean real soon, like one day away? MUHAHAHAHA....
Today was the last class for Fashion Merchandising. In the end nobody did any presentation. Almost everyone binded up their stuff.
During breaktime i went to Cheers, and the bitchy auntie was complaining that she has to void (an item) in the beginning of the day. Cause i took two items and wanted only one in the end cause she doesn't have enough change. BLEAH.
And we watched videos. Some people left at 12pm. Not before we filled up the PBL assessment forms. I was in a dilemma. Oh man. Then i stayed back to watch more vids and left at 1++pm.
I left Huong and went to look for Nicky at Business park. Joined them at lunch. Then me and Nicky and Nicky's friends went to the Sports Complex. They were having a Captain's Ball Competition. Wah so cool lah. Nicky wanted me to join but luckily i didn't. Aiyah cause of some useless bums in their group they lost. I felt so helpless sitting at the sideline and watching the scores go away. Very T-e-N-S-e lah. Haha.
After slacking for some more time I rushed for class. Reached class sharp at 3pm, on it was 3.03pm when i switched on the computer. Today we learnt InDesign, a programme mainly used for newspapers and publications.
After school i waited for mama. Then she called me at 6.20++pm, like after half an hour, to tell me to go home by myself. Well, i thought my ezlink was quite empty, and since i didn't want to squeeze onto any bus, i walked to TM. The journey seemed very long today. I took a new route. Haha.
And i reached there at 7++pm. Okay.I filled up the card and took the bus home. YAY.
That should be all.

Bang
Today i woke up at 2.14pm, not counting the time when i migrated to my mama's room at 10+am.
Then i droned though the rest of the day, eating lunch at 3pm, playing Miniclip game Sure Men at 4.45pm and blogging after that.
Now i've to wrap up my projects.
1. Reflection for the Interview assignment
2. Development booklet for DiEss project.
Yes, that's all.
Bye.
A Fateful Day
Reached school early to bind the report. Too early cause i didn't know it was instant. And i went to the library, where i heard the Singapore Songs blasting on the speakers. Cool atmosphere.
Sat in the class. We loaded our ppt up in the computer, and cause Irene said we were starting backwards, our group went first. "Well done" except for a few misleading info. Great. It's finally over. Then the rest of the people were suddenly very enthu today, all raising their hands to be the next one in turn.
And it went on. During the rest i rushed off to the toilet, and unfortunately JN was there with Huong, and JN asked me to join them. I said,"I want to pee" and quickly ran off. I could hear her saying, "I'm also going to the toilet" but I DON'T CARE. DAMNATION.
We finished up the rest of the groups' presentation, and we were done. Irene said that we don't need to do a ppt presentation for the individual interview assignment, but she will ask some people to present. OH GOD I HOPE I'M NOT INVOLVED. I just wanna stay beneath the surface, please.
Then Huong made a confession to me. Nothing serious; she's done that a lot of times. I know a lot of her secrets now, but i hadn't let her get hold of much of my info except that i've hamsters. And we went to the library in search of something sinister, but to no avail.
So we went for lunch and went to CAD Studio. Started work on my DiEss. The rest of the class went still having this big hoolah about the Friendster thingy.
It seems like JN is involving everyone in the class for her SLIMMING PLAN. They are gonna run two rounds around the miniscule school track every Friday. Oh great.
I finished up my stuff by 6plus. Took the bus 23 after seeing two 15s go off right under my nose and following the buses around like an idiot. I went to meet bro at CP to dabao KFC home. And i bumped into ex-ex-classmate Jon Lim at bus interchange.
And i went home.
I still remember the days when we used "A fateful day" over and over again in our essays.
And the fateful event took place.
Bye.
Zero
So there wasn't Irene's class on Monday, but we went early anyway to complete the project. We met at 10.30am (i wanted to go earlier to do my illustrator stuff but i didn't want to get off the bed).
I reached first. JN and her grp members were already there. So i did my stuff. JN and grp suddenly have this idea of looking for Gini's and Val's pictures on Friendster. (FYI Gini and Val are two people in our assignment.) They searched and laughed LOUDLY like crazy people(only JN, to be precise). Then JN suddenly asked me,"Can I use yours?" I said,"Anything". I bet she didn't expect me to say that. She just wanna involve me in EVERYTHING she does. The bitch.
Huong and G came. We couldn't do the binding of the report today cause Huong didn't bring her reflection. (I spent the night before printing this and that and editing the damn ppt.) So we continued on some leftover stuff.
And the rest of the people in our class filled in, and then they started to look for funny personalities and pictures online, Friendster. And JN started laughing like crazy. How funny could it be? Wah lao. And the rest, as always, like to play along with her, laughing together oh ha-ha-ha. She just loves the ridiculous attention.
Yong Kin came in at 3pm. He commented that one of my designs is not bad(but later on i realised he diodn't get the message i wanted to convey for that design). Then i left at 6plus.
It was a very tiring day, as usual.
Indescribable
A feeling
That I can't describe.
Deep inside.
Sometimes there is
That split second
When my mind gets into a mess
Thinking i'll go out and play
When he's no longer there.
It's as if
Part of me is gone.
Some joy.
Some of the life.
It's a piece of puzzle
That's lost forever.
But someday
We will get together
Once more.
Consequences
1. Shock
2. Realisation
3. Denial
4. Acceptance
5. Explanation/ Consolation of oneself
I'm now at 3. It's just too difficult to accept it now.
Do You Know What Is a Cry?
I'm now having a real headache. But i wanna say what i need to say.
I've only realised it has been a long time i had a real "cry". Readers of my blog will know i've always been emo-ing about school and all, but all that i did was sob. Sobbing is not crying. It's just a little bit of sniffling and you're done with it. Crying. Crying is the real explosion of your sadness. Thus the phrase "crying out loud".
Maybe it's the society we are turning into. We all want "face". I also didn't know that i'll break down that hard. But it just happens. I got shocked by myself. We don't even have time to cry, do we? We just stifle all those emotions inside and not let those tears stream out. We force them in. Back in. It only all spills out in one big time when something really bad happens.
Sigh. It comes back in waves. Just when i thought it's gone.
In Loving Memory Of Smoky Lee
My old friend.
Thank you for all the wonderful and joyful memories.
We love you and we'll never forget you.
Love,
Ka Sia

Yucks, Homework.
Okay. So i woke up at 11am today. And after preparation i set off straight away to CP, and took the train to Bugis. At City Hall i saw a primary school classmate. I walked directly in fornt of her. But she didn't see me cause she was in a daze. Phew.
It was already twelve by the time i reached.
And i went to look for Vida straightaway. And i stood there like an idiot, waiting for people to pass to take that perfect shot. People were staring at me. SOBS. Haha. And i didn't want to be spotted by the retail staff there. So i pretended to walk around and i would finally go back to Vida. Haha. And i got some shots.
Then i set off for Bugis Street. I got a pair of laces-less-loafer-like sneakers. And i got a tie. And i almost got an orange cap but it was ten dollars siao lah.
Okay. So my next destination was Sim Lim Square. With a lil bit of Nicky's help i got there. And after walking around the fourth floor one time and walking around the fifth floor two times, I found the shop. BEST BARGAINS. I got Swivel Pro 2GB cause they don't have stocks of Flash Pro. $30. Way damn cheaper than the latter. I looked at a chart and compared Swivel and Pro. They have the same functions, so i got Swivel. Flash is only better cause it is BLUE. Haha. Anyway i've been hogging didi's thumbdrive long enough and it's time to get a new one. (My old one caught a virus, remember?)
Then i walked to Little India MRT. Halfway through, at the stretch of road before the stretch of road where the MRT station is, i saw a large crowd lining by the fences by the side of the road. i thought they were queuing up for a free ride somewhere of what. There were people, wheelchairs and baby strollers. And as i walked by i took peeps amongst the mob of bobbing heads. First thing i saw, a van. Second, a SBS bus. Third, a police car. Fourth, another police car. I may have missed something in between all the heads, but when i reached the end of the pathway, i saw a tent. Those blue "P O L I C E" tent. And while a waited by the traffic light i saw blood seeping out from the tent. So there was a death. I crossed the road and took a picture. Upload next time.
Wow. I don't doubt it'll be in the news later. Then i took the train back to Sengkang. 2pm. Went to the arcade alone cause bro and didi didn't want to come, one round of Time Crisis 3, one round of Catch the Pooh Bear, one round of Maximum Tune, one more round of Catch the Pooh Bear. And i went off. Nothing much. But they've added bowling.
I went to buy Bubble Tea. Hmm... today's one was the best i've ever tasted of Cup Walker. The pearls don't have that weird taste. While queuing up bro called me and said they were coming. So i waited for them, and we went to Metro to look at Transformers. Popular. And we went to Kiddy Palace to wreck the toys. Then Mini Toons. Didi and I are always making fun of the staff, cause they always say "Welcome to Mini Toons!" So sometimes we will purposely walk inside to disturb them.
Okay. Then didi and i went home, whiule bro went to get bubble tea. 4pm.
After bathing and blogging, 5pm.
And i got hell lots of stuff to do.
CIAO.

Xtreme
For the rest of the day i just watched tv, packed some stuff, and watched tv. That's how Saturdays work.
So now i'm blogging, surfing the internet, and i think i'm gonna start on 'beautifying' the powerpoint.
Oh and shucks i have to do the personal reflection as well.
Ok i think i'm going to Bugis tomorrow to 1) Buy thumbdrive, 2) Take pictures of "Vida".
Here's the overview of next week's DEADLINES:
1. 17 July 2007, Tuesday:-
Fashion Merchandising: PBL Part 1 (Groupwork- Written Report+Powerpoint Presentation)
2. 19 July 2007, Thursday:-
Fashion Merchandising: PBL Part 2 (Individual- Written Report of Interview)
3. 20 July 2007, Friday:-
Digital Essentials: Final Assignment (Individual- 6 designs on Photoshop/Illustrator)
NEAT, yeah?
Yeah, right.
Work
After the project we stayed in the CAD Studio, waiting for class to begin. Halfway through my work, Yong Kin came over for the consultation. He said a lot of stuff which i sometimes get and sometimes not, but the gist is that i have to make the designs more light-hearted. Uh-huh, but i'm naturally a very serious person.
After that we continued on the project at 5++pm. I smuggled Nicky in and she did her work. So our group worked on the powerpoint, and by the time we were done it was 7.30pm. Wow. I didn't realise. So i brought home the ppt and report to edit.
Reaching home i tried downloading Adobe Illustrator CS3 (continued from ytd) and it took damn long. When i went to sleep it was still at 99% after being 99% for half an hour.

Victorius
Morning, mama fetch me and Nicky to school. Then we went to business school. Two funny incidents happened, at Cheers and the vending machine.
Then i came here to find G. Huong came later and we sat down to do our assignment. We've just finished and now it's break time. See you later!
Thursday, 12 July 2007
Umm
Irene then asked those groups which have not been assessed to stay back. And we were one of those. So she asked us about the peer teaching stuff, after that she said something which shocked me. Sort of. She said,"Presentation wise, I'm not so worried about the two of you(Huong and G), but Ka Sia, you need to express yourself more. I don't doubt your abilities, but you have to show what you know, not hide all your research. You have to be more confident... You are very focused... BUT...". Anyway this is just the shortened version. Know why i was shocked? Psst. Cause i don't do much research HAHAHAHA. That's why i don't elaborate much during presentations. Don't tell her, okay? Anyway i don't think i'm an inconfident person. HARK HARK! Ask my buddies about it.
Then i went to find Nicky, and lunched with her friends. Then i tagged along for their profect discussion at the library. I called "Calvin: once again, and NO answer. So i sent a super-duper long message to the number, giving all my personal details and such. HAHA and i found out it was the wrong number. Cause the person replied "Wrong number". Poof. So i called Poi Foong again, and got the number. Damn i was two digits wrong. And i called Calvin. Real one. He only agreed to a over-the-phone interview even though i encouraged him to give me a face-to-face one twice. Never mind. It's okay. And he'll send me his photos, but he doesn't have a namecard. And i told him i'll call him later cause i've yet to compile the questions.
After a while i left for DiEss. Worked on my first design. Shit lah i have to meet Yong Kin tomorrow about the assignment. Well everyone has to.
After that i went to TM. It just happens Shi Yng is off on everyday i go to visit Dano. So i did some shopping, grabbed some food and went home.
Ahh. Watched tv, arranged the questions for the interview, and now I'M LOOKING AT YOU. =D
Task
Nowadays, practically everyday of my life is the same. I do the same stuff all day long. But, this morning, we first went for a Cotton Inc. talk at LT 25. It was very cool; we get to keep these catalogues that tells us what Cotton Inc. has came out with- the colours and trends for Fall/Winter 2009. Nice.
Then we had a break and went for Irene's class. We discussed on our stuff again, and apparently Huong didn't know we were going to work on out project today, after class. She was going to interview people at Bugis. Then Irene came along to ask us how our peer teaching is going on. And i think i said something stupid again HAHA.
Okay. Timeout after that. We went for lunch, and then got back at the CAD Studio. Huong left at 3pm. I must say that G is a very responsible person. Okay. In between i left to make calls. Shi Yng asked me to call Poi Foong for Calvin's number(ytd i went to Dano and asked Siew Foon for his number but to no avail). So i did. And called. It was a female voice, and i asked,"Is this Calvin?" and the person hung up.
So i went back and do project. We disassembled at 4pm, and i went to walk around. Then mama and papa came to fetch us.
Home. I tried calling Calvin again, but no one picked up the phone.
AH, well...

I Saw You
Going up the bus
And before i could contemplate
It happened so fast
It may be fate
Bad fate
And i hopped on as well.
I saw you
Seated right behind
And i had to find
A front seat
Just to avoid any contact.
Somehow our paths cross again
And i pretended
Not to see you
Pretending to be occupied
Looking at you
Seeing which side
You gonna take.
Are we going
To do this forever?
Pretending we didn't see anyone
And pretend
Nothing's happened
When i see you in class
The next day?
Okay.
Maybe it's me.
Yeah i'm sure it's me.
VOID
I'm now
Void of all feelings.
Cause i dont know how
I feel right now.
Most, at least.
I can't.
Maybe that explains
Why i got so low
Just weeks ago
Whereas now, no
I don't feel much
As i did.
Senile
Today's class was spent pretty much on slacking in the group. And we discussed our writen report and powerpoint stuff. Oh yes. There was a new student, R today. I heard Irene saying,"Button up your shirt" as she entered the class with her. Haha later i realsied she was wearing a top that showed half of her "toot toot(s)".
It was a very lack-of-enthusiasm discussion, then after eons E came to join us cause An, her group member, is absent today. Then Irene came by, and asked us what we have done. As usual i gave sloppy answers, and she asked me what i've taught my group members. (It's supposed to be peer teaching!) Stupidly i said,"It's all in the textbook" and that induced her to give a very long talk about what we should do and something about Maslow. I've read it all yesterday night. And then we were supposed to answer some prompts in the stack of worksheets we were given(a.k.a. Probem Based Learning Package). Then it was break time(finally!) After buying Milo from the canteen i took a look at the Juniors' work Irene had brought in.
Oh yeah, somewhere in between G asked me if i live in Hougang. Haha he obviously saw me in he bus.
Then it was video time, and dismissal time. [I miss those ringing bells that signals "RECESS!" time.]
And after that i explored the school. I went to business and walked to design(where JN asked me to join she, Ai and Et at Jupiter Cafe) and then to Engine via the super long pathway where i saw uncles and Bangladesh workers napping and the swimming pool(there's a upper and lower walkway). I bought a bottle of Apple Juice at Engine canteen and walked back. I found out that there were two canteens at Engine. Every time i go on a walk, i will find something new.
And after that i'm back here. I've to start on my DiEss assignment sooner or later. So i shall pick "sooner".
Today will be a long day.
See you.
Recount
The events that happened for thesee two days are as follows:
9 July 2007, Monday
The night before i slept really late, and the last glance at the clock showed 4.21am. So i didn't really have much sleep.
Morning was Irene's class. We went through a super long and boring presentaton by her about merchandising and our next assignment. Blah blah blah... By 11 plus she was done, we went for a break, and came back where Irene allocaed us into groups. I was numbered One, and as usual all the people from the same number will group together. Very unfortunately, three "soft-spoken" and non-enthu peope got together: Huong, G and Me. Oh man. What a wand-ter-fool combination. HAHAHAHAHA.
So we began to discuss. A very drone-y discussion, and, as usual, i couldn't understand Huong or her thoughts. Finally we distributed the workload(the rest of the class were alredy gone) and went home.
Yipee. Home is the best. I walked to the bus stop and saw E, V, Ai, J and G there. Oh my gosh. Then 15 came, followed by 23. I first observed who was going up which bus, and it seems like only G is getting up 15, the rest 23 or other buses. Oh damn. As i was deciding whether i should sacrifice comfort over awkwardness, E said,"Bye Ka Sia!", so i went up 15 to save further explaining.
G got up first, and i got up thereafter. So peculiar... Hahaha. I quickly jumped into the first few seats as i saw him heading for the back. At the OUB Building i alighted, and was just in time for a 27 which was right behind. Empty. Cool. Almost reaching the Regional Library stop, i had this gut feeling that G was gonna get up the bus, but laughed it off, cause the conventional poly student would have alighted at the stop before OUBB to guarantee a seat in 27.
So we got to that stop, i saw an Ah Pek, someone else, AND G. Damn. Obviously he saw me, but i gek lah. I was on the right side, third last seat. He proceeded to the left side, second last seat. Whoosh.
The bus drove on, and i saw him alight at the first stop in Sengkang. Phew...
I got home and saw the new wardrobe. Nice. Not mine, anyway, and i got the new mattress.
I used the laptop for a while, doing spywork again.
Then mama bought lunch home. I ate half and went to lie down on mama's bed, then came out to eat the other half sleepily again, and went back to sleep. Now this is what i call LIFE! I slept through till i heard mama screaming, asking me to on the PC. So i see the Mio person is here, so i asked didi to tell her that the PC is like that. After that she yelled for my laptop again. Wah lao eh. And i couldn't sleep after that.
Bro came back from relief teaching and packed his stuff.
I and walked around the house, and cut broccoli for the hamsters. An uncle, friend of papa, came to look at the pipes and stuff. Leaking. I extracted all the "Life!" from the stack of newspapers(HAHA SUCK THEIR LIVES) accumulated since mid-May. (!!!)
Then i tried to play with my toy car and my didi's, but they didn't work. So didi went down to buy batteries. After that it was fine, we drove the cars along the corridors and chased it after mama. So lame, but fun anyway.
Bro went out for tuition, and after playing with the cars i bathed, then i put my bed in proper order.
I played Dino Island, and didi is a poor advisor. He always causes the demise of my multi-million business.
Then was dinner, and i went off to read up on Consumer Behaviour as instructed by Irene.
Got on bed at 12 plus, but i couldn't really sleep cause i was thinking of the assignment. Okay. We had part one, the group work, and part two, individual work which requires you to interview a person in the fashion industry. I have someone in mind and i hope it works.
And i burnt another CD for Shi Yng.
Repentant
I must get my hands on some dark eye rings-remover masks.

Woo wow i didn't know that so many people had my name. And i found one which is dedicated in loving memory of "Kasia". I'm Ka Sia, okay.
And there's a programme called "Kasia". Cool.
SADIST
I would say that Man deserved it.
Why do we have to work?
Why did civilisation come
When it brought prosperity
As well as misery?
If the modern person is living too hard
"Life is tough"
Why not we do away with civilisation?
But you know it'll never come true
So let's let the burden of our workload
No matter who
Suffocate us one day.

Power
Most of the morning was spent on watching tv and discussing over where we should watch the movie. Digital/Non-digital, Cathay/Cine... blah blah blah.
After lunch, bro, didi and i set off to Chinatown. We went to China Square and looked around the flea market in there. Bro collected his Transformer and didi bought a Zoids toy and something else. There was really much fascinating antiques around. Gramophones, banana notes and stuff like that. Cool.
Then we walked to Raffles Place MRT(the district was pretty lonely cause of the weeekend) and took the train to Somerset. At Cine we tried to play Dota, but it would be an least an hour's play. Nope, so we went for tea at Maestro Bistro, and ordered this Chocolate Marsmallow Crepe. WOO delicious. The crunchy peanuts and chocolate bits, the warm chocolate, the crispy crepe and the soft marsmallow. MMMM... HAHA.
We ordered for another one, which took quite long, and we quickly finished it up cause we were running late. Then we rushed up the escalators to the sixth floor. And i think a couple got pretty disturbed by what we did. HAHA.
We were seated at 4.40pm, the time slot for the movie, while bro went to get popcorn. OKAY, not forgetting to tell you. We were watching TRANSFORMERS. Damn. I didn't feel like watching it so much until i got into the cinema.
So it started, a spectacular intro, WHAM! And the story developed, getting more exciting by the minute, literally. So the FBI/ government also got involved, giving more action to the show. And the FINAL SHOWDOWN, which was a tad disappointing. Anyway, at the end of the day, EVIL NEVER TRIUMPHS OVER THE GOOD. Megatron was defeated, and the good guys are together. On an ending note, Optimus told the audience that they had since hid themselves among the humans in disguise, and any remaining Autobots could look for them, and that was when i asked didi, "Are you an Autobot?" He replied "No". WAHAHA.
And i bet there's gonna be a sequel cause Starscream made an escape. WOO.
Wow the movie is SUPER COOL, SUPER fabulous, fantastic, cool, cool, cool and cool.
Ah i wish my car is Bumblebee.
It's funny why people always choose to believe in cartoons/ books of fantasies.
And i didn't know transformers had a cute side to them, and that they learn our language through the World Wide Web. And they know about Ebay. =)
After the movie we walked to PS, with a lil detour to this Orchard Plaza.
We had dinner at Crystal Jade and went home thereafter.
A very cool day ends here.
WOW it's already July. The year's gonna end soon.
It'll be back to school tomorrow again. No DiEss, by the way, but MAYBE i'm gonna stay back for the assignment. Yeah, that's all.
Anyway the Singing Competition held by the CC which i learnt about from a leaflet at the noticeboard at the first floor is already over. HA.
Nights to all.
Opulence
Another slacky day= my favourite day. I watched the TV programmes for most of the day, cleared the cages, and slept. Woo wow.
Nice day.
Nah
In the morning, after returning ten books to the library, i went to class. We presented our powerpoint, and luckily it went quite okay. Then we watched a video on young models. It's pretty boring, without all the action and drama a la ANTM.
Okay. After class i met Nicky and we went for lunch at the opposite side. Then we walked around before heading back to school.
Digital Essentials was nothing much that day. Yong Kin wrapped up what we have to learn and cleared our doubts on Photoshop and Illustrator, cause we were going to start on our projects soon. Damn. The fun is over.
After class i met Nicky. We booked a study room for ourselves, turned on the music, and just slacked inside. Hahahaha.
Then we had dinner at Mensa. I had a plate of taupok. The auntie is so kind.
After that we proceeded to the CSC AGM at 6.40++pm, which was bullshit for the most part of it. We were given balloons with sweets STUCK inside, and i almost fell asleep during the talk. At 8pm we were dismissed, and we went home after that.
I was so bushed. =)

Wonder
It inspired me
To write again
And it goes something like this.
Didn't we all grow up
From drinking milk?
Didn't we spend our childhood
Licking Pushpops?
So i have no suspicions
That we'll all grow up one day
To be somewhat similar
But apparently
There's no right answer
To it.
Maybe it's your upbringing
Your heritage.
But i don't see you in me
Or me in you.
That's the wonder of nature.
Munch On It
It is this Sugarloaf restaurant, just by the swimming pool.And we walked all the way out of design, down the long hallway of engine, and past the track road passing by the engine canteen. People were staring, yes, but i don't know why the rest are so caught up with it. Just get it over lah.
Okay, reached this sugarloaf thingy, went to their toilet, and got out(it's sorta a basement restaurant), saw Moses and proceeded to this BBQ corner where we had our shots. Unfortunately i was the first in the group to have the single shots. After almost being 'exposed' and being filmed by A(he has this ingenious idea of filming everyone and then fast-forwarding it to make it like those Charlie Chaplin's films of the past), i heard the photographer say that I had three shots, none which were good. And A had not taken the video, and i had to repeat it again. But i don't have to sit on the grass this time round. It was so damn awkward i felt so alien.
Finally we were done. Huong and i made our way back, and the fucking design block is just a few steps away, when they had to take a HUMONGOUS detour through engine. Oh my. Because there's no shade. Tsk tsk...
We changed and i got three fucking mosquito bites, and slacked in the air-con for a while. Then Je, Huong and I went for lunch. Hell there are so many first times today. That was my first time sitting down in design canteen, with my classmates, eating design food. Oh my. It felt so strange. I don't really belong to any clique, just randomness and it got picked that today i'm hungry, i just try to lunch with them. But it's not that bad really. I really do prefer small groups.After lunch i'm back in the CAD Studio. Love that place. As usual, blogging time.
Class started after that and we continued on photoshop. Suddenly a girl was shifting about, switching on the computers. Then she was mumbling stuff to herself like why isn't a computer working, and asked me to on the one on my right. So i did, and she sat there.
After Yong Kin finished teaching the stuff and i began to work on my stuff, the girl started to ask me stuff like what Yong Kin taught us today and on Tuesday, and then asked me to teach her. I thought her the simple ones slipshod-ly, and asked her to consult Yong Kin for the more difficult ones. But she didn't want to. I wasn't really paying much attention to her, and just brushed her off when i can. Quite bad lah. Haha.
After that, I discovered that Yong Kin is quite tall. I gauge it at 180cm. Hello, Nicky? Hear this? WAH. Hahaha. Wahaha.
Somehow me and the girl started chatting. I now i have seen her before, but i just asked her if she's a first year. She said no, she's a third year student, and said that she had forgotten her Photoshop after not touching it for years. After probing further i found out that she's in Industrial Design i think.
After completing my work i left. And i confirmed the stuff to do for the assignment with the lecturer.
Met Nicky and we went to TM to get nail polish remover and grass.
That's all for today.
See you tomorrow.
Loony Ballooney
Irene's class, and we watched the last two episodes of PROJECT RUNWAY 3. Woo nice. Then we were allowed to do our stuff. At 11.40m, i went to change into my 'costume'. Damn so many people were outside, so i went upstairs to change. Pink knit top and super-long dark brown skirt. Wah lao i felt so funny and... forties. JN and A then helped to tidy up my image. And i went to comb my hair down, as A said.
And i got my nails done by JA (red nail polish) and makeup done by AN (eyeliner and red lipstick). What the TOOT! A commented that i looked very fifties. Yes, that's the point.
At 11.50pm we made our way to this place(which i don't know it even exists).
WOW i just discovered that my account is still signed in at Friendster. Damn. Luckily nobody actually uses this PC.
Okay it's getting dangerous now. People are walking around. Someone even jumped on me jut now.
Stay tuned. =)

Retarded
You're right.
I look retarded at times
When i try to act afool.
But i can't help but wonder
If my brain's
Really getting retarded
Day by day.
Retarded as in slow
I take forever to realise something
And i get my spelling all mixed up
While my pronunciation isn't as clear anyway.
I think
The hectic lifestyle has taken its toll
Too many cells have died unnecessarily
Cause we don't even have time to slow down
And recognise the position we are in.
We just continue chasing
Sometimes losing our balance
And getting lost.
I wonder if all these were necessary at all.
Kicking
Hmm... Let me recall what actually happened. Yes, now i get my days and time all mixed up because of the retardaton of the mind.
Morning, I got out of bed, i think i brushed my teeth, and i most probably changed out of my home-clothes. Then mama fetched me to school.
I went for Irene's class, and today was pretty much of video-watching. Project Runway 3, which aired last year on Channel 5. It was just at the last four, where i had stopeed watching then for some reason-i-couldn't-recall. Nice. Hahahahahahahahaha.
After that we went for a short break, and came back to discuss on our assignment 2. We went into the discussion(most of the time i just kept mum), and then Irene suddenly came over to ask as if we had any concerns. She started with A, then me, and i just talked about the powerpoint, saying that we should all distribute the work and combine them info later. A and JN then started to say that we are working on it blah blah, and we'd dicuss later. It was like nobdy cared; they just cared about the bloody photoshoot. Damnation.
And A was gonna get me a vintage top from Haji Lane.
Okay after that we distributed the work, and A just said i could do anything i want because i'm the chairperson. Alright. So i said i'll be doing the compare and contrast of the characteristics of past and present fashion. Okay done. We could go already.
Then Huong asked me if i were going to the CAD Lab to do the assignment and i said yes. But, later, i changed my mind and decided to go to TM. Just as i wanted to sms Huong, she sms-ed me, and so i replied her, saying i wanna go.
Okay. So i took 23 to the bus interchange. Today i was there to get black wedges. How could i do the Powerpoint presentation on heels? Hahaha. So there i went. First I walked along the shops at the interchange. I saw two bracelets that i like, those ethnic ones, but they were at $5 each. So expensive! Crazy woman. Then i went to get jeans from CK departmental store. $15.90. Funny auntie as a saleswoman there.
And off i went to TM, up the new escalators. To where? DANO. Hahaha. As i guessed, Shi Yng wasn't there. Day off.
Siew Foon was there, with the new Vietnamese worker. I gave SY's cd to SF. Then i chatted with SF for a long time, and bought a set of 2 for $30 after trying dozens of clothes. They have some T-shirts now. Cater to the youths, haha. And some really nice blouses. Next, off i went, shopping. I went up and up and down and down, and then to Century Square. Bored. Mondo didn't have any black wedges. At Aries, I got a pair of gold earrings at $0.90. Real ones. REAL PAINT. Hahaha. I saw the wedges i want at DMK, but it as $27.40 a pair. Bleah. No way man.
After that i went back to Dano again while waiting for Nicky. It was already 2 plus. And Dano had my free labour that day. Hahaha. Meanwhile Siew Foon was on the phone. And i folded the clothes and hanged the tried clothes. Two aunties came in, and they really thought i was the salesperson there, asking me if there were new pieces, and letting me keep a piece that she didn't want anymore. I served them okay. Hahaha. Fun. Much fun. Miss the working days so much.
Then Nicky's call came, and i went down to the MRT station to meet her. Then we took 27 to Hougang Interchange. She went for treatment. Hair loss treatment HAHA. More accurately, treatment for the loss of hair. The purpose is to lose hair, not gain hair. =)
Then we went to HG Mall, shopping again. We went in search for bags (i am in search of side-carry ones). No nothing. Then we went to have dessert. And bought sushi. And i bought a lot of stuff at Giordano. Finally i got my white tees(the old ones are stained). At SENSE, i found the bag i needed. We went off, and Nicky suddenly remembered that she needed to buy silver round earrings. Make her stand out, she claims. HAHA. So we went in search again, and we ended up buying one pair each at CHAMELON, but mine is GOLDDDDDD. =)
Home, finally. At CP i went to DMK, but they don't have the same range there.
Home, house. 9++pm. Bathed, surfed the net, did the assignment, irritated my irritating brother who claimed that i was irritable, and slept.
BYE.

Just Another Day (Part Two)
As you know, school is where a hell lot of stuff will happen. Okay, so morning class at 9am. Irene asked us about our favourite decade, and mine was the 1940's cause of the military influence(i decided only this morning). Then the others said theirs, which i didn't quite catch, but i heard JN(Shh, i have to be discreet now) saying "NINETEEN-FOURTIES" Alright! That's great, SO great.
Then Irene gave us half an hour to read up on the decade we are interested in. In the lift i recommended them to the 5th floor, the G section, where we can also find books on fashion other than those on the 8th floor. Then classmate J was saying,"Wah Ka Sia knows all about the library..." YEAH I DO i spend my whole lifetime in the library. =)
So we made our way to the 8th floor. Another group came up, so i sneakily went off to the 5th floor. So squeezy. And i went back with a book for Huong. Those who treats me well, I will do them good. Then classmate G asked me where i got it, and i said downstairs, and i led him and Huong down to the 5th floor. Then we searched somemore. And E and V came down later, E saying,"Orh-hor, you all come down here never tell us" jokingly.
So we searched somemore, and went to borrow the books. Huong and I went quick cause we straightaway loaned out the books via the librarian at the desk.
We went back. Irene always gives me some inspiring thoughts and comments that i never realised before.
Ok done, then we were grouped into our respective "eras". I was initially with Ja, then the 1950's people came, who were A, Huong and JN (DARN!). Okay. So it's settled like this. Sigh. Groupwork. I really don't know what i want.
Then we were to discuss about why we like the eras we chose. But we didn't really discuss much of it. Then Irene asked us what makes a good leader or bad leader, and asked each group to select a leader. Ooh shit. She was then talking about some more stuff about leadership, and still on electing a leader, and that was when i saw JN making eyes at A(not those kinda seductive ones lah). Oh ok. I didn't really see who they were "arrow-ing". Irene was obviously asking everyone to find a leader, but obviously the people in my group didn't want to discuss about it. Either they were 1. Deaf, or 2. They had found a scapegoat. Okay~ But JN and A didn't seem to to be deaf anyway. So Irene asked, and when it was our group, both of them said in unison,"Ka Sia!" Oh right. I made a face, A then told me, "I love you". I said, "I know that". Thanks. Very much. Fuck you. I didn't really mind it, but at least you let me have a clue about it? Like a poll or sth? Self-proclaimed leaders, so they might as well do all the stuff themselves. DAMN. So you all know what they were eyeing about.
Then Irene informed us that for today, the leaders shall keep quiet and listen, and prompt members, not tell them. Okay... A was saying to me,"That isn't too difficult for you" Yes, of course not. Hahahahahahahaha i find this SO SO SO hilarious that my back is gonna break from all that laughing. :)
So they began to discuss about the stuff we were gonna wear for presentation and photo shoot(A was the scriber), and when it came to me, I simply said, "I don't know". Cause i really don't know. Irene paused the discussion(s) for a while to know how it was going for the chairpersons. I said,"Very good"(LAME right). Then elaborated somemore lah, and she asked for the group members' comments. JN said i understood what they were discussing about. Ok Ok. Then the scribers' turn blah blah blah.
Then after everyone decided what they were gonna wear, it was my turn. I still don't know, yes, as A asked me. Then he said JN could lend me her stuff(she ran off somewhere). When she came back someone A asked her about it, and she asked me,"You want t borrow my clothes?" A then said,"You might as well lend her the whole outfit". HAHAHA. Then A was typing the stuff everyone needed to bring, and till mine, i only need to bring a pair of red Mary-Janes(JN didn't think i would have. Nobody would think so. She just loves making references to me, eg. she wonders how i'd look with lipstick) . And he said something which refers me as very "free" or easy, then said i could get the lipstick. Of course i agreed. Doesn't matter anyway. I'm going to TM later.
After that i walked to the opposite, and walked around and round. And i was lost, when the row of shops came to a dead end at some blocks of flats. Ooh, made a turn, and i went back to where i was initially at.
Then after walking about, went back to school and had lunch at Mensa. Completed Nicky's survey.
I went to walk around Business school, and went in to disturb the people at 1st Avenue, a "shop" where the students in Retail Management sell their stuff. Went in for barely five seconds and i quickly u-turn cause there are so many people in there. Sales people.
Then went to CAD Studio. Did some blogging and then that was what happened.
I realised that Photoshop wasn't as difficult as it seems. Less applications than Illustrator.
After class i met Nicky and we took 23, to Telepark, where Nicky paid her bills.
Then we went shopping! I was so excited about it. HAHA. First we DINED, as Nicky said. Then we visited Metro, where they are having a closing-down huity(fifty, fyi)% sale. Nicky the filial girl bought something for her ah pa. Walked somemore and we chanced upon some zebra-striped shorts. No we didn't get it. Then to TM, we disturbed Mango people.
Then we went home, after going to B1 to get some stuff. Reached home at 10pm. So late sobs.
Yum Bubbly Bubble Tea.
Goodnight to you, sire.
Oh and damn i discovered that the $29.90 thumbdrive offer is over. Shit.
