So as you can see from the previous post, I have an essay due soon. Plus Susan just emailed to tell us that our assignment is due this week too. (Hmm I wonder if we still need to do the web page and print ad since she never said anything, but w/e.) BUT I CAN'T SEEM TO GET MOTIVATED. I don't know why, but everytime at this time of the semester, when there are many things due, I'll feel the urge to start on dramas. LMAO. When I'm super darn free during the holidays, I don't feel the drama itch. I can laze around all holiday without watching anything. WHY IS THIS SO, SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME. I want to smack myself sometimes for doing this.

So this is what I did for the weekend:
- tutored a kid
- watched all currently up-ed 6 episodes of Glee.
- rot online.
- went out with my family.

and for today:
- rot online.
- watched 2 episodes of Black & White.
- tried to look for relevant articles for my essay.
- took a nap for 2 hours.
- did intro for my essay.

In between all the nonsense that I did, I tried to read Capricornia, but I keep getting distracted. So its a big fail so far. HELP. T_T I feel screwed, but I need to do something about it. LOL.

Saw this on Tumblr, which I thought was really nice:
Awww. I wish I was beautiful, be it inside or out.

I know I'm supposed to be doing my work, but I can't think of what I want to write for my proposal, ugh.

Anyway, I GOT DAMN LUCKY TODAY.

If not for the fact that Faith said she wanted to go to the library...
If not for the fact that Deborah was looking for books for her assignment...
If not for the fact that I was bored and so we started talking about our assignments...
If not for the fact that Deborah has a really extensive network of friends... (in other words, she "好友满天下" *ahem, Carlsberg ad*)

I WOULD HAVE BEEN DAMN SCREWED BECAUSE I DIDN'T REALISE THAT I HAVE AN ASSIGNMENT DUE ON THURSDAY.

...THANK YOU GOD. Seriously.

I don't know, but I'm really quite thankful for them. As well as for my other friends in school. I was initially kinda worried that I'll be lonely this semester since I usually hang out with Belle and Nat in school. And since Nat is away in Korea this semester, plus I only see Belle every Wednesday, I was all expecting to, LOL, tough it out alone. But I realised that there are really nice people in school who would help me to take handouts/notes when I'm not in class (when I didn't even expect them to, 'cause honestly, they're not obliged to do that), include me in stuff, sit with me in lectures, etc etc. Basically, BEING FRIENDS WITH ME. I don't think I'm the friendliest person ever, especially when I just get to know someone or if I feel intimidated, so I'm grateful for all these people. (:

Now before I know it, semester is almost over. Just...5 more weeks or so? If I didn't count wrongly. LOL. I don't care if I sound like a freak or something, but I'm not very used to people being so nice to me (in fact I'll get kinda awkward because I don't quite know how I should express my appreciation, like, should I just say thanks and move on..or..what?), so I get all 'awwww....' or 'OMG THAT'S SO NICE OF YOU' when someone does nice things for me. So... please pardon me for this. T_T

You know how some people will just disappear from your life after the semester is over and you're not taking anymore classes together? I'm actually hoping that I'll still stay friends with them. <333 (OKAY NOW, SOMEONE NEEDS TO TEACH ME HOW TO MAKE THAT HEART SHAPE THING THAT EVERYONE DOES. /NOOB)

We Are Seven

—A simple child,
That lightly draws its breath,
And feels its life in every limb,
What should it know of death?

I met a little cottage girl:
She was eight years old, she said;
Her hair was thick with many a curl
That clustered round her head.

She had a rustic, woodland air,
And she was wildly clad;
Her eyes were fair, and very fair;
—Her beauty made me glad.

"Sisters and brothers, little maid,
How many may you be?"
"How many? Seven in all," she said,
And wondering looked at me.

"And where are they? I pray you tell."
She answered, "Seven are we;
And two of us at Conway dwell,
And two are gone to sea.

"Two of us in the churchyard lie,
My sister and my brother;
And in the churchyard cottage, I
Dwell near them with my mother."

"You say that two at Conway dwell,
And two are gone to sea,
Yet ye are seven! — I pray you tell,
Sweet maid, how this may be."

Then did the little maid reply,
"Seven boys and girls are we;
Two of us in the churchyard lie,
Beneath the churchyard tree."

"You run about, my little maid,
Your limbs they are alive;
If two are in the churchyard laid,
Then ye are only five."

"Their graves are green, they may be seen,"
The little maid replied,
"Twelve steps or more from my mother's door,
And they are side by side.

"My stockings there I often knit,
My kerchief there I hem;
And there upon the ground I sit,
And sing a song to them.

"And often after sunset, sir,
When it is light and fair,
I take my little porringer,
And eat my supper there.

"The first that died was sister Jane;
In bed she moaning lay,
Till God released her of her pain;
And then she went away.

"So in the churchyard she was laid;
And, when the grass was dry,
Together round her grave we played,
My brother John and I.

"And when the ground was white with snow,
And I could run and slide,
My brother John was forced to go,
And he lies by her side."

"How many are you, then," said I,
"If they two are in heaven?"
Quick was the little maid's reply,
"O master! we are seven."

"But they are dead; those two are dead!
Their spirits are in heaven!"
'T was throwing words away; for still
The little maid would have her will,
And say, "Nay, we are seven!"

-- William Wordsworth

Just thought of this poem again, I have no idea why.

So, I fell sick today and I haven't felt so horrible IN AGES. In ages, I swear. I was just puking and having diarrhoea from the moment I washed up (yes, before breakfast, so I have no idea what's the problem since I didn't even eat anything?!) and that lasted the entire afternoon. I had no appetite and even if I did, I didn't dare to eat anything too, 'cause it'll all just come out, and I hate the feeling of being nauseous. Sorry to those text messages that I didn't reply, it took effort even for me to even move, hahaha. LOL, so there I was, trying to make a card for _ochre  since she was leaving, and that took up my entire afternoon 'cause I had to take time out to puke and go to the toilet. LMAO. I feel very unaccomplished.

And since I didn't eat anything, except for a few wholemeal crackers because my mum told me I would need my strength to get out of the house, I dragged my aching self out, and thank goodness, my dad could give me a lift to the airport. I am in such a sluggish state right now that I have to walk around slowly like some old grandmother. My bones and muscles are still aching for no reason at all. ): 

Well, that summed up my sucky day today. How was yours?

On a happier note, I picked up the AADBSK3 DVD yesterday!!! :D :D That was the only happy thing from this miserable weekend. I haven't watched it though. I thought I could today afternoon, but who knew that I would start puking my guts out. /frowns

Oh, and _ochre  left just now. Kay, I'm sure everyone knows, but still! NOW I'M CRYING~~ /does Nickhun's stupid action

A brand new week starts tomorrow. I'm not exactly anticipating it because I feel like shit now.

I have no idea who else has tumblr, but here is my URL anyway! LMAO fandom peeps shld know what my URL is refering to, I think. 

It has been quite fun so far. :D Those on my Friends list, and are not from fandom, would be pleased to know that I think I have a separate outlet for fangirl-ing purposes now. This might mean less posts on fandom stuff, but we'll see. LOL.

Sunday tomorrow, its strange how quickly the weekend passes by.

I just read The Straits Times’ 44 Reasons to Love Singapore (or something like that). So I’m going to make my own list now! Yup, here's my national day post. Just a few off my head 'cause I'm too lazy to think right now. (LMAO LOOK AT HOW BORED I AM. NAH, I LOVE SINGAPORE TOO OKAY. And by the way, my TVants doesn’t seem to be working but I want to watch Inkigayo LIVE. BOO.)

Reasons to Love Singapore (for me, at least) :

( all in the name of national day )

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY, SINGAPORE AND FELLOW SINGAPOREANS. :D

LOL I totally abandoned this because of Inkigayo. I certainly know my priorities. INKIGAYO WAS AWESOME TODAY, BY THE WAY, EVEN THOUGH I ONLY STARTED WATCHING IT HALFWAY. THANKS, heesica , for the link to watch it. Yay. I need to re-watch those performances in HD.

( your latest bias )


I'm really sorry for the lack of Key, LOL. So here's a .gif to make up for it.



HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GIRL! :D

Just thought that the lyrics were written really well and wanted to put it down.

不屑

事情如果那么简单那就好了
想让自己不见 瞬间就统统消灭
人类如果没有心脏那就好了
受伤不会流血 悲伤也不会流泪

不需要有同类传染颓废
不需要愚昧的尊严
不需要去偷窃你的思念
自我安慰

就让我伪装我嘴角不屑
让孤独乘以更孤独的两倍
允许我保留最后一点点特权
赦免我想念你的心碎

( rest of lyrics + song )

For anyone who even wants to hear the song, LOL. I don't really want to discuss his vocals, I know he needs improving. But I just thought that he sang that very sincerely. (:

I wanted to bitch blog about my trip to the Da Vinci exhibition on Wednesday, but as you can see, the monster of procrastination has taken over again.

Of course, I'm not going to bitch about the exhibition itself. Why, the exhibition was ALL SORTS OF AWESOME. :D Go for it, people! For the uninformed, its at the Science Centre, 15 dollars per entry. Before you get all "OMG WTF 15 DOLLARS?! I CAN BUY THREE KFC MEALS WITH IT..." or sth, let me just say, I thought it was well worth my money. I learnt many interesting things about Leonardo Da Vinci that I didn't know before. It was quite cool. No, this is not a geek speaking, this is coming from a non-geek okay, so you can trust me. (:

I wouldn't reveal too much about the exhibition, in case some of you haven't gone yet and are planning to go. But these key aspects of the exhibition should be enough to draw you in:

1) Revealing of 25 secrets about the Mona Lisa painting. (Her hair isn't big, but yes, its FULL OF SECRETS.) Basically, they analysed the shit out of the painting. Its like a freaking Mona Lisa shrine in that particular section. LOL, sorry for the crude phrasing, but yeah. The exhibition also explains the painting, and gives the history of it. I didn't realise so much planning and calculating goes into that painting?? Cool.

2) The Vitruvian Man image and its explanation. Which was damn interesting.

3) His many inventions. Literally. Many. Inventions. (There are some hands-on stuff that you can try out in order to understand his concepts for the inventions, it was quite fun. We were like, "OMG WE CAN FINALLY TOUCH THE DISPLAYS." LOL.)

4) The Last Supper painting.

5) Huge-ass reproductions of Da Vinci's drawings of the human anatomy. THIS IS AMAZING. He drew everything so precisely omg. I think I recall a line that says something like how Da Vinci worked in secret and hurried conditions with 30(?) human bodies to do those drawings. Erm, something along those lines. I might have remembered wrongly, please don't take my word for it and check it out yourself if you can. (:

6) His other works.

Oh, and since this is an exhibition in Singapore, you shouldn't be expecting the real goods. LOL. For the real Mona Lisa painting, please make your way to Louvre museum, thanks. But overall, I thought it was a really interesting and comprehensive exhibition that allowed me to regard Da Vinci as more than just an arts person. He made contributions in many other areas like science, engineering, etc etc, so I was really quite amazed after I walked out of the exhibition.

( small rant )

Okay, I should probably go to bed. Locals, get your ass to the exhibition! I thought it was quite informative and fascinating. :D

With so many drama recommendations (yay!), I decided to start with Mr. Brain since the subject matter is quite interesting and its only 8 episodes! (: But apparently mysoju.com hates me and is REFUSING TO LOAD the video. i've tried twice already and each time it gets stuck halfway. So I'm trying to load it for the final time, and if it still doesn't work then I'm moving on. You can give me a pat on my back for my patience now. :D

So, while waiting for my beloved video (yes, I'm hoping the video will sense me sucking up and just freaking LOAD) to perform a miracle, I'll do the memes stolen from xinliyoushu !

( filled with KPOP (don't click if uninterested, you'll regret it lol) )

LONG ENTRY IS LONG. And whoops, I totally left this unattended. Pffft. And by the way, you'll be interested to know, MY VIDEO HAVEN'T LOAD YET. ITS BEEN ALMOST 2 HOURS. PFFFFFFTTTTTT.

WHAT MIRACLE. THERE IS NO MIRACLE. ONLY MIRACLE HERE IS THAT I HAVEN'T THROWN MY LAPTOP OUT OF MY WINDOW.
