UPDATINGGG :)

So in the past few days/weeks...

I finally went to the zoo with 6++ buddies! In case you didn't know, i had a sudden craze over elephants some time last year, and really wanted to go to the zoo but nobody wanted to go (from aye12 i mean) and then i found out the tickets were rather expensive (it actually wasn't but i thought it was then!) and started a "Send sessy to meet the elephants" fund. After a mere collection of 2dollars and something, the fund was forgotten and so was my trip. Fortunately,
the month of dec 2009 was the month of elephants and my beloved 6++ decided that since they wanted to go to the zoo we could all go together and I can personally satisfy my long-awaited urge to witness the elephants!

So one sunny day, we set out to the Singapore Zoo @ Mandai Road and did a little birthday celebration for the two Js too (: more photos on FB but here are some to spice up my lj which ive actually abandonned for some time other than peeping on others' posts.

6++ | Insanely happy self with elephants walking right past me, returning to their abode after the Asian Elephants show :)

such awesome close-up shots of really handsome, and pretty animals. I mean really, just look at them!

Other than the fantabulous zoo trip, there was also the 08AYE12 PICNIC @ Marina Barrage!

Then also the recent ketchup session with BB! Gosh, time flew and we're just talking like mad aunties!

OMG it is the last week of 2009!!

Strange how words fit so apt to this particular situation.
Such words.

I think the thing i like most about Before Sunrise is that it is so simple yet poignant. Perhaps that is why, i mean, because its so simple that is why it is so poignant? All the mainstream films that flood our cinemas nowadays are either action-packed with awesome CG or hot actors and actresses that keep our eyes on screen. This is not like that. Julie Delpy (I personally think she's gorgeous) is not the actress with the hottest body here neither is Ethan Hawke. He even has a little belly, but really that's besides the point.

Music, lines, portrayals. this is what really makes it a great movie.
best part is showing of all the places they've been throughout their night together, in the morning they said goodbyes.

I think its beautiful, Ive posted about this film before but see here I am doing it again.
Now I need to go look for before sunset.

Right now i just want to discover the true meaning of life so that I can really live it.

the moment post.

The sickest thing at the moment: necrophilia.

I was just reading about Kitty Genovese incident 1964, and came across necrophilia.

necrophilia noun
1. Obsessive fascination with death and corpses.
2. Erotic attraction to or sexual contact with corpses.

i am sorry i was feeling exasperated reading about Kitty Genovese (i came across this because i was reading about bystander apathy) and her unfortunate death but the fact that the attacker Winston Moseley was a necrophile just overran everything else. eew.

I always think it's so surreal how every second i breathe , there'd be people dying and being born around the world.

twenty.

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 15:30:34 GMT

( This entry was due to be posted 5th July '09 )

T W E N T Y.

It just donned on me, i am turning twenty tomorrow.
yeah a major moment for ohmygoodness, because TWENTY is such a big number for me to handle.

Turning twenty seems, so surreal. And in the given circumstances, sad too.
It's saddening that i can't go out to celebrate the way they do it / how i am supposed to because i am here.
It's also saddening that what i envisaged myself to be at twenty is certainly not where i am at now, or tomorrow for that matter. (I mean just how much could change overnight right)
Twenty's supposed to, mark the transition from say youth to adult. IT also means that i've been living in this world for twenty years now.
Now that sounds like a really really long time, but looking back they all seem so short. So many regrets about things that i could've done, or could've done better, or things i could've not done.

Nonetheless, there are of course the little sparkling good moments and good people - I am sure they would know who they are and i appreciate them deeply although they may not know THAT.

Cut me some slack here, I know i ought to be studying right now seeing how my exams commence just the day after tomorrow,
but turning twenty is a seemingly huge occasion for me right now, or so it feels like.

Really, I was totally unaware of my birthday tomorrow, i mean i knew it was but i had no feelings for it, until just now, when i was on a stroll and mom was like, "hey you're turning twenty tomorrow aren't you!". It sounded so trivial for a moment, and then i was like.

oh boy.
I AM TURNING
TWENTY.
TWENTY.

and then it was just ringing in my head.
the number was swimming in the pool of thought in my head.

and then something else.

gah.

// edit

clearly what i thought would be enough wasn't so.

the sacred geometry of chance.

My new resolution.

Fri, 05 Jun 2009 14:41:19 GMT

All that experience aside, i am just going to move on with a new resolution.

I am through with this disappointment thing, so i am going to try something where i just live simple, give more and expect less.
Sounds very much humanitarian and almost impossible, but no harm trying than living on like this.
Even if i die ( i mean figuratively ) from the excessive giving and getting that doesn't tally, at least my death will be meaningful!

Common test revisions are trying to be more focused.
Voyage next week.

What happened, really?

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 15:02:01 GMT

I miss those days when we're happier.
i miss those days when i was much stronger.

What happened.

alma mater, where?

Sat, 25 Apr 2009 17:00:14 GMT

i hate the fact that now's the tim to turn your dreams into career
to face reality and be practical

i guess that's why dreams are calle dreams.
is it so wrong to think that i can just pursue what i dream of, what i want?

I guess, if i am living in this world.

a big note to self.

Sat, 28 Mar 2009 04:55:30 GMT

i've had so many awesome thoughts that i've wanted to post about over the last couple of days.
Instead of that, i would leave all with a good video to watch.

I mean, pictures are worth a thousand words each - and this one contains many.
Enjoy, til i come back here again and write more stories.

// EDIT:

08 30 - 09 30

Let me tell you : I seriously thought EARTH HOUR was involuntary - that is to say the lights will be out regardless of my will (i.e. governments cutting electricity to households for an hour or something) and therefore went out of my house around 8 20.

Who knew, the street lights were out.
Jeez.

Life is just a bowl of cherries.

Mon, 16 Mar 2009 06:30:21 GMT

Have you ever experienced a mad rush of thoughts into your head , (i.e.things that you wish to post about) and then them dissolvin completely when you sit yourself in front of the laptop all ready to type it out?

Well, that's pretty much what just happened NOW.
gosh i am utterly annoyed!

If you'd like a slight update on my ever-mundane life (and i shall resort to numbering them to stress on the mundaneness);

1) I've religiously been sleeping about 9 hours (average) everyday since CTs ended.
You do not understand, during the CT week, when i slept early (i.e.11/12) and then got up early (i.e. 3/4) to look through my notes (i.e. study) - within me there was this surmounting sadness of not being free to sleep as much as i want. I mean, yes i called it upon myself but still i was really really sad! Thus, when the CTs were over, i went to bed religiously around 11/12 and slept through until i felt like waking up.

Thus far, my face is big as the full moon.

2) I've been snapping away wih the iPhone camera, which isn't all that bad!
As my phone was spoilt, my dad got me a temporary iPhone which i am to retun some time this week :(
Some photo updates here , photobucket's being satisfactory today! (if you bother to look back, there was a post where i was really frustrated because i wanted to upload photos but pb was being a pain.)

SUM LOR PICTURE!

AWESOME MATES & RAINBOW AT BISHAN

3) The sky has been prettier than ever.
Although this is not really MY life, i am thankful for the beautiful morning sky that i caught sight of, one morning on the way to school.

LOVE FOR MORNING SKIES.

4) 6+ and counting ketchup at Modesto's (i.e. D's 18th celebration too)
It was so good to see those old faces again, and though i suffered a lot after the food that night ; shirley temple was absolutely stunning - so ordering a glass each next time! Just as we're leaving the place, the bar outside was crowded with men watching soccer (Liverpool against Man u!) . Loving my 6+ and counting gang much, hoping to see them again very soon X

(rest of shots on facebook should you be interested!)

i was just wondering the night before last ; How intriguing it is that relationships with people could add so much to your life but at the same time, take so much away from it.

Things that make me happy:
the thought of mocca @ mosaic tonight! (:

This is probably the most incoherent entry i've ever posted - i blame it on the incoherence of rain today.

lyrical discoveries.

Tue, 10 Mar 2009 12:30:39 GMT

( i've officially given up all hope on uploading pictues here through photobucket, so if you want to see any of the recent, they should be on facebook. )

I don't really have much to say - common tests are going past just as fast as it had come. And I am getting scared whether it'd be like that for the big A levels too! I hope not. Anyway, studying session with elaine was good (for me, i don't know about her) ! she helped me a lot and like i studied at an inhuman speed it's almost amazing. OH and esplanade library's quite a pretty place to study at (: but we DO NOT WANT PDA hahaha, if you know what i mean!

anyway, math and french listening tomorrow and i am done (:
i have a strange lump at the back of my neck and it hurts like hell, i screamed when my mom was trying to massage it thinking it was just a muscle ache , so i have like a thing plastered onto it now and it kinda feels like someone's holding my neck up, when nobody really is.

On a sounder note (quite literally too, haha), this song by Arctic monkeys has really pretty lyrics!
Do ask for the song because i think you (whoever you may be) should listen to it, and it really shows the versatility of that band.
I especially adore the second stanza, a smile spread across my face like an idiot when i heard it.
Leaving you with that i shall be off (;

Baby, I'm yours (baby i'm yours)
And I'll be yours (yours) until the stars fall from the sky,
Yours (yours) until the rivers all run dry
In other words, until I die

Baby, I'm yours (baby i'm yours)
And I'll be yours (yours) until the sun no longer shines,
Yours (yours) until the poets run out of rhyme
In other words, until the end of time

Baby, I'm yours (baby i'm yours)
And I'll be yours (yours) until two and two is three,
Yours (yours) until the mountains crumble to the sea
In other words, until eternity

02/03 had beauty in the sky.

photobucket's been screwing up on me for the last ten minutes or so. urgh!

March 2nd has been a good, pretty day.I brought dad's iphone to school today and we took many many pictures! mosty the non-pe gang AND OF COURSE MY DEAR DARLING SUM LOR! finally we've picures together. I also took picture with elaine buddy! ( note: please take care! and you know i am here! ) AND AND i must tell you, sarah and i were attempting to study in the library and jeremy&aloy comes in and sits down next to us, nothing wrong there! we took a picture, shortly after which jeremy tan grabs my phone and starts to fiddlewith it, emitting negative vibes! in attempt to stop him i struggle, but then he was actually turning some music on but was covering the speaker with his FAT fingers so that the music was muffled while i was struggling AND suddenly he let go and it was blasting! : o i quickly turn the tab to silent but it didn't seem to work! frantic as hell i click click on the screen then it goes into some funny browser mode, and the song starts to pick up with some drum beat. I've managed to stop the music before words came out but everyone around me were chuckling,you do not understand the embarrassment! gosh.

okay all thos stories aside, french class was stunning today because the scenes around bishan was gorgeous!

I HAVE SO MUCH MORE BUT THE FRIGGIN PHOTOBUCKET'S BEING REALLY ANNOYING AND TIME-WASTING! I'll edit and upload them please watch this space (:

i do hope everyone had a good day, because the sky has made my day today.
just a tad bit sad it didnt' end well but i guess life's full of ups and downs!

Beautiful mess, maybe not!

Sun, 01 Mar 2009 07:56:53 GMT

I guess organization proper is a good thing - the redeeming thing about digging through stuff and throwing the "useless" away was the fact that i found two fresh two films in their canisters. so much for having believed in organised mess haha.AND AND i've been keeping my lomo babies (i.e. colorsplash and fisheye) in the close because i ran out! On the next outing if deemed fit i shall bring'em out for fresh air (:

Common tests are closing in, and i must say i am secretly (not anymor since its written here) disappointed that i didnt' get to fulfill what i've promised myself at the beginning of the year. However i do hope can reach the current goal set for myself.

This is getting a little boring to read,aye?

I was listening to the sound of rain and the sounds that come with/before/after rain, i.e. the thunders.
IT really sounded like the sky was going to crumble, but on the other hand, it made me feel like i am in a bowling alley and everyone playing were really awesome that they kept on scoring strikes.

Speaking of which, i want to go bowling. And ice-skating. AND AND prawn fishing.
all these things that we said we'd but never did!

We're living crisis decades of our own.

Thu, 26 Feb 2009 15:06:27 GMT

I think we are all living crisis decades of our own. Be it family, friends or school, we all seem to have a heap of problems to deal with that fills our everyday lives with melancholy. But do remember, as with Kondratiev and his idea of "long waves" (although its in economy), what goes up must come down, and what goes down must come up. And I do secretly believe (although i complain and make noise all the time) that it is only thanks to those melancholic moments in our lives that we truly understand how to appreciate happiness when it arrives.

at least, that's what i'm telling myself now - so people around me if you've got problems in your lives, do take note ; YOU'LL BE GOING UP SOON.

on a somewhat happier note, i think i'm picking up at moving on.
I mean it's not like anything's gonna happen there.
And as always, a sense of euphoria and anxiety takes over simultaneously everytime i think about __ .

Wed, 18 Feb 2009 14:51:54 GMT

school's picking up - commitments, studies almost simultaneously.
and here i am already getting shit scared about september when CT is just around the corner, i ought to get my time right.
i don't know, there's so much emotional turmoil going on its just hard to think clearly.

i feel like i am in a dodgeball championship and i am the last player around.
i have so much things to do but i lack the will to do all of them.
its funny, because i tell myself i would, and i go around telling people they should - and here i am.
shiz i had a lot of things to write about but now my mind's in a swirl and i am losing my coherence.

i shall stop now.
oh and in case you haven't heard, i am ending that here , you know, the whole leaving-it-here-and-walk-away-without-looking-back thing.

AND i was just thinking, arent' we all grateful of the internet? i know i am.
imagine if internet had a limited capacity - all that depression and whatnots that we "tell" it would have killed it a million times over and over again. I think it's comforting that when you really have nobody to turn to, you always have the option of clicking on the internet browser and then going to livejournal (or any other posting sites) and typing your thoughts into the white space given.

like what i am doing now.

for once i am awfully grateful for technological advancements. yay that's a happy point there

i don't know why but it feels surreal to be up at 2:46 AM having just finished an overdue essay.
surreal but slightly exciting.

i've finally recalled the title of the song i was searching for amidst all the other things in my head!
please listen to it as loud as possible to get the full harmony - it's raw yet just so BEAUTIFUL.

tide is high but i'm holding on.

so much for st. valentine's.

it all started well, but i guess it wasn't exactly the best ending i expected.
an involuntary, somewhat forced exchange of sea breeze and the beach for the air-conditioning and confines of the room.

and a bunch of issues to wrestle with. i guess the fastest way out of this is to learn how to get over things quickly, some things that never even took place.

nonetheless i sincerely hope whoever you're reading this, your valentine's was great.

brought me to the top of the world.

Sat, 07 Feb 2009 05:06:24 GMT

i never thought i'd say this, but this orientation really took me away.

physically ,this period was the most tiring and also the most athletic moments of my entire life. i don't figure i'd ever be that athletic again.
i've also came out looking closer to the shade of brown and patches of white thanks to my impaired eyes.

I am ashamed to say in my past experiences of orientation as "freshman" (once in IP and once last year) was never really this awesome. I always blamed it on the group but i guess part of it boiled down to me as well. However, orientation 09 has made my week, really.
Aside from all the worries about french, KI and other lessons that i've missed and have to catch up with, the past week's been delirious.
It has really, brought me to the top of the world. I was probably at the highest i could ever be! Never had i been taken away by the whole communal thing they always do which i scoffed at for the first two orientation.

I dare not say i am all for it as of this week, but i can say i could be! (:

Creon has been the greatest OG ever for me, both fellow OGLs and freshmen alike.
Fellow OGLs were really an awesome bunch of people - and i'd have missed out on the great opportunities to discover & get to know them better before i left school if it wasn't for becoming an ogl ; i use the word "discover" because i seriously did not know some existed. :/

Freshmen, esp those in my sub-OG whom i know a little better) were really a cool bunch too. Although the first day or so they were rather quiet, by the third day they were on the roll.

Writer's block strikes - this seems like a sign to get back to working on my independent study so i'll return and update, hopefully with captured moments.

In the spirit of mandarin oranges and joy-filled red packets.

I was rummaging through files and folders on my faithful laptop when i came across this video (and others) and to my surprise, it's exactly a day and a year ago. that gave me a strange feeling.

anyway, here's presenting to you....

The Beach Boys (our)
singing "kentucky fried chickens and pizza hut"!

i am telling you its so catchy we're gonna make it big(:
( sorry friends in the video, we will still be your friends! )
