Holy infant so tender and mild [Sunday, December 6th, 2009 @ 5:50pm] [ mood | cheerful ] I am thanking the great heavens above that the account I have with SOC still exists. I love SOC, truly I do. Was actually quite happy with my programming final. Am hoping it will pull up my grades; suddenly things didn't seem so bleak heh. But the best thing, of course, is all the free software xP In approx. 30 mins Claire will be in Singapore!! I'm so excited xD Can't wait to see people again, aah. Am hoping for a nice gathering this weekend, as far as possible. Better be hunting people down now :[ Omg almost forgot to do my module pref... srsly. I can't do it now either, am due to leave the house soon >.< Will do it tonight, f'sho. Lately I've been griping about not being able to watch movies or listen to mp3s on my train rides... contemplated getting like an mp3 player that I can watch videos on, but really, I cannot behave as though everything can simply be bought. It's not like I'm rolling in cash -_- So tmr I shall borrow my bro's external CD drive and install something much lighter than Vista into my baby laptop. (Finally. It's taken me months to get around to doing this, pfft.) And then maybe its battery life will extend past 1.5h x.x This battery life business is a major puzzlement to me, I really wish I knew how to solve this problem zz On that note: could somebody please explain to me why anyone would want Virtual PC? I mean, we can have dual-boot systems... why would you want an emulator for another OS? Asked my brother about Motorola Droid, over the iPhone (which, by the way, is taking over the world- if you hadn't noticed). He says "vote with your purse". While this is a very practical and sensible guideline, I can't help feeling not completely satisfied with it x.x (What is it about Apple?? I wish I were business-centered enough to care more about this. Can somebody get into this please I'm sure it's really interesting just it's not my thing bleh) Okay I gotta run bye! 1 // skritch

Home for Christmas [Sunday, December 6th, 2009 @ 3:24am] [ mood | sleepy ] Came home an hour ago and wasted it watching Finding Nemo on TV instead of the latter half of State of Play. Gah >.< Today was Spend Quality BFF Time Day yay! Tacky and I were going to watch a movie after the Depot Heights show but the movies at J8 were too crappy. Depot Heights was pretty roflwtf too actually. Nvm la get paid good lor. After that we all nicely hopped on the bus that would "take us to Bishan", not noting exactly how long it would take to do so >.<;; So after like fifteen minutes or so Tacky and I just slept all the way to the interchange roflcopter. In my half-asleep phases I kept hearing Alicia and Jobina talking behind us about Paranormal Activity, lolol. We had dinner, walked around (Jo <3 the kiddy toys at Action City rofl), went to the arcade, went outside to get bubble tea, sang a lot as usual, and went home. I can't believe I won't be seeing my bestie for three weeks D: D: Until Christmas wtff Just got off the phone with Nic too lolol 2.5h convo omg clearly today is imba BFF Quality Time day >.< Nic is flying off at 10am aaahhh D: D: Everyone's totally going away la zomg damn >.< Ahh hope she has a good time in Taiwan though! Wish I could blog more but brain is mush now so goodnight skritch

=( [Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009 @ 9:20pm] [ mood | worried ] Tmr is the day of my doomy IT paper (55% of completely indefinite marks!!), and I have not studied one iota the entire day. Instead, I have spent it a) sleeping and b) doing TAS admin. Goddamn it Last night was the long-awaited movie marathon!! *cheers* We watched The Fall, Fargo, Ratatouille and The Shining. All four were awesome! And I had images from The Shining in my head at the worst times, like in the bathroom. SO MANY MORE MOVIES TO DEVOUR 2.30am is when the truth comes out. Heh, heh. Fell asleep in Bobbie's house although I'd fully intended to go home. At 4.30am. Mm-hmm. STUDY! skritch

Perfume: the story of a murderer [Tuesday, December 1st, 2009 @ 12:52am] [ mood | excited ] Am watching Perfume. It is the single most creepy and vile film I've ever watched. My favourite bit: "Just like a musical chord, a perfume chord contains four essences, or notes, carefully selected for their harmonic affinity. Each perfume contains three chords, the head, the heart, and the bass, necessitating twelve notes in all. The head chord contains the first impression, lasting a few minutes before giving way to the heart chord, the theme of the perfume, lasting several hours. Finally, the bass chord, the trail of the perfume, lasting several days. Mind you, the ancient Egyptians believed that one can only create a truly original perfume by adding an extra note, one final essence that will ring out and dominate the others. [Insert story about a perfume found in a tomb here] Twelve essences could be determined, but the final one, the thirteenth note, never could." "Why not?" "...why not? Because it's a legend, numbskull." "Whassa legend?" "... Nevermind." TS group movie marathon tmr yayy =D I should probably sleep early today, yup. Mm well. Sleeping soonz 6 // skritch

'cos my world revolves around you it's so hard for me to breathe [Sunday, November 29th, 2009 @ 9:15pm] [ mood | okay ] In response to Amanda: This is amazing x) Courtesy of Chris (my school friend, not our beatboxer lol) Man, this guy's voice is amazing. It's the incredible control he has D: D: (Hence he earns my favour despite not being a baritone, hehe) As of yesterday, the two songs that've stuck with me have been Halo (the musicians at Lau Pa Sat were doing this) and No Air (because Wilfred suggested Tacky and I do this together). Oh oh funny story of yesterday hahaha Wilfred met us all at Lau Pa Sat, hugged everybody, stood in between me and Terrance, leaning with his elbow on Terrance's shoulder, and said, "Eh I thought Terrance was coming?" After we'd all rofl-ed a lot he proceeded to explain that he'd assumed the boy sitting next to me would be Tacky xD xD NICE I like this Another thing I like is how my TS group met up today more just to hang out with each other than to study. Hehh. (I mean. We did study lol, but that didn't seem like the point heh) English paper is tmr and I am slacking away! Whee~ [Edit] Tech tip of the day: secondhand smoke is bad for you. And your Mac. Apple won't repair Macs damaged due to people smoking a lot near them. Yay for health and warranty risks! [/Edit] 11 // skritch

Paramore tends to get stuck in my head [Saturday, November 28th, 2009 @ 3:33am] [ mood | okay ] Sometimes celebrities do things that seem completely out of this world, and watching them do it makes your back tingle and your world turn completely upside down. It is repulsive yet fascinating at the same time. It is sex, drugs, scandals and other horrific bad stuff, but it's somehow so glamorously done. It's magic. cf. Johnny Cash, Adam Lambert, Britney Spears / Christina Aguilera / Madonna (to name only a few) Other news, briefly: Hari Raya lawls. Talked to my cousin some more. Also slept. A day well spent. (Also my cousins and I were all in orange. I am clearly the sister they never had.) HAMLET - THE CLOWN PRINCE WAS AWESOME. So, so awesome!! There was just too much awesome going on in the thing that I broke my own rule and actually took note of as many things as I could >.<;; Aaahhh ohmygoodness I really regret not getting my TS group to watch this too. I HOPE THEY WILL COME BACK Have watched the video of our Vinegar Tom exam piece. I'm so horrified by myself lawls >.< I hereby declare that I will permanently change my singing style. Forever! (Unless there is noisy music accompanying me. I swear.) Uploading all these photos and videos of my TS group now, and feeling so amused/happy lolol =) Wish I had photos of Bobbie's mom's mango pudding etc >.< Those were good days. After this last video is done uploading I will sleep! I promised to meet Jeremy at 8.30am tmr. What the cows right!! And what on earth am I doing awake at this time!! YOU TREAT ME JU-UST LIKE, A-NO-THER STRAN-GER 6 // skritch

5 minutes before leaving for Malaysia Truly Asia [Friday, November 27th, 2009 @ 11:02am] [ mood | amused ] Geek quote of yesterday: "It's like I upgraded the graphics card in my head... from Nvidia's 5000-somethings to 9000-somethings" - Ben, talking about his damn cool polarized lens wrap shades Conversations with Chris: ooh. Went to watch Lizzie at SP Star last night LOL we were all so amazed xD Lizzie, you rock! Would write more but procrastination = incredibly late for leaving house. Selamat Hari Raya! May goats everywhere celebrate this day of meat appreciation. I promise to upload the backlog of photos I have when I get back x.x 5 // skritch

Oh my oh my [Monday, November 23rd, 2009 @ 12:19pm] [ mood | panicky ] This is for Bee, because we've been saying this quite a bit recently. A SHRUBBERY!!! SOCI PAPER IS TMR I AM SCREWED 1 // skritch

The sound now turns to silence, but I'll keep spinning around [Saturday, November 21st, 2009 @ 9:39pm] [ mood | okay ] Fetishes Upon reading this I realized that a lot of my KI knowledge had completely flown out of my head D: Damn. (Fik: the alt text is not showing! Why!!) After TS paper today I followed the rest to the Yacht Club because it seemed like a nice and relaxing place to go and drown myself. (Shout out to Nic, who is absolute love and suggested + went with me to jump off a random ledge after TS. Suicide club!) Instead, though, we had dessert and talked for ages and walked down the floating jetty thing (I know the lady told us its name last time but I forgot what it's called!) and I felt so much better after. Ah man. Very astute, Bee. I should get off Youtube and Google and start studying soci, lawls. 8 // skritch

Blank stares and blank faces [Friday, November 20th, 2009 @ 1:30am] [ mood | sleepy ] Classic illustration of my thought processes when I'm asked sth by somebody who doesn't really want my explanation >.> And another one, just because I can't resist the adorableness: Had TS practical exam yesterday. I think it went well =D Was unfortunate that we couldn't have a proper Q&A, though. 20 mins is indeed not enough. But man. Our group is magic. Love them forever. Had SRT audition today. In Melo's words, it was quite terrifying. 'nuff said. Guess it was a good thing to go, anyway. Today I did 1.5 chapters of TS. This so does not bode well. First paper is in two days. Oh, Sali! Random note: studying in a group is distracting and informative and helpful all at once. Yesterday Chris, Ben and I went to Bobbie's house for the world's sexiest mango pudding (with evaporated milk and these quaint and yummy tangerines) and spent half our time talking and watching videos. Which was really fun lol but undeniably a distraction >.< But you do learn awesome shizz. I think my knowledge of random stuff would increase by 100% if I just listened to these people every day for a month or sth. Also I now have an incredible backlog of movies to watch, omg >.< The Shining, Space Odyssey, Silent Hill, Gray's Anatomy, The Man Who Wasn't There / No Country for Old Men / Burn After Reading bleaghh I aim to do all this before school starts again in January This is so wtf that I have to read it another time when my brain is working: Cyberperformance o.O Amusing mix-up of today: I told my best friend that Ben had described the SAR21 as 'tacky', and he thought Ben was referring to him >_<;; Tmr is TS essay discussion! Supposed to do it with Nic but makes sense to do it as a group. So meh. See how it goes tmr huh. Tmr I will go swimming, though. Ngraa 2 // skritch

I thought Alice was my friend; now I know she's sent by Satan [Tuesday, November 17th, 2009 @ 2:39pm] [ mood | adrenaline/emotional drain ] I owe my ts group so much Also, we just did characterization for me. Omg. It was damn intense. I finally managed to bring out all the stuff I wanted to bring out from the back of my mind. Chris has a damn good hypnotic voice. When he brought me out of it Bobbie said "that was rather freaky" hahaha but omg acting is such a rollercoaster. We have to do this again tmr! I'm so happy cos I got my cryingface back again. I'd lost it for the past week, was so worried about it zomg. Really feel like Susan now hahaha I want to act T____T Also also, I am totally blogging on the printing release computers at the YIH hahaha loves how this place is so empty there are so many computers aw yea Also also also, from Fik's LJ: Sounds like something we should be going back to, huh xD 10 // skritch

The Mars Volta's vocalist's range is like the dude in A Skylit Drive [Monday, November 16th, 2009 @ 12:57am] [ mood | okay ] iPhone worm going around, for your information. Also a worthwhile story to read if you don't have an iPhone, cos the guy who coded this thing is damn cool lol Spent today in the library with Ben and Bobbie, am quite pleased cos my portfolio is finally done! (Yes, after two days.) Well more or less done la. Tmr is costumes etc, and everything is kind of falling into place. Hoping for the best for Weds. I actually don't know if I've put in enough thought into everything >.< Especially into Susan. Garh. I really want someone to videotape our performance though. LOL. Had girls' team jam session today. Hahaha my solo voice really sucks I don't know why, especially today omg. Wth man >.< I wish I could just sing in a rock band all my life and not feel zibei about not having a Yohannis voice. But then I realize Yohannis' type of voice would be muchly lusted after by Singaporean studios and Mediacorp etc. It sounds damn pleasant. (Yohannis is capable of being a lot more awesome, of course, but the point is she can also do pleasant.) And watching the short Singapore Idol thing on tv where they all sang I'll Be There For You, it would seem that Singapore is really going for the pleasant tone. (Check out all the songs written by them, dudes. Damn gay plz) My piano instructor came over to pass me his keyboard today. He is a very nice instructor =) It was really dusty and obviously hadn't been touched for ages, though >.< But this is sexcellent timing because I need it for TS exam hoho I don't know what song to sing for SRT auditions D: D: And feeling zibei about my voice is not doing me any good, ya. Okok sleeping soon 4 // skritch

I LOVE IT1002 [Thursday, November 12th, 2009 @ 1:10am] [ mood | cheerful ] TS last lecture tmr morning(!!! D: D: ahh) 9am and I should really be asleep by now, but I just have to blog about my day =D Which has been a Really Good Day. Though it didn't start so good. My day began with SEA lecture, which was kinda a waste of time, also I was panicking like crazy over programming Practical Exam today. (Sharyn gave me a lollipop!! Aww damn sweet of her.) Tried desperately to study but it's like I can't seem to absorb math sometimes x.x I swear I spent 1.5h last night remembering how to do matrix multiplication. And doing it in java is not that hard. Meh oh well. Rehearsal! Started almost an hour late, so I was like ngghh. But we did the dance, and I think it looks good! Yay. Ended rehearsal and went to library with Chris and Bobbie to mug, i.e. have another mental block. But well. At 4pm I went for my PE. AND IT WAS OKAY. Thank goodness I'd tried out those diceroll things the last time (the only thing I tried out of my own accord! that actually worked!). Our PE was a board game with two players rolling two dice, and some special conditions. All in all it was really, really doable. Two minutes before end of exam I was testing it out until one of the players reached square 100 i.e. the end of the game. Words cannot describe how happy I was when my (my!! I made this!) program showed me "Mary has reached the destination. Mary wins!" Honestly it was like the stormclouds of today and yesterday had lifted hahaha. My tut classmate whom I met outside after said it was 30%. I believe otherwise, but I'd really like to believe it's 30% lolol >.< There is still hope I will not fail! Written paper 55% gogogo Sali After that I made a quick detour to the library to squee over my accomplishment, then went for piano. Which I was 15 mins late for, and where I played the song once and spent the rest of the time listening to my instructor talk about his love life lolol. After which he said he would lend me his keyboard because I srsly need to practice at home everyday x.X He also lives very conveniently near to me. Yay! Then I met Bobbie Ben and Chris and we all went to the Expo to do some SHOPPIINGG~ yay! Bobbie was just saying "I bet the boys won't dare to find us here [in the lingerie section]" when suddenly Ben appeared omg I actually gave a gasp of surprise lolol >.< Also we wanted Peranakan food but it was too late and it'd closed =( So we went to find random food and then went home. =D =D ALSO. MY MOM SAID OKAY. So we're going to a random southeast asian country mid next year!! Omgomgomg I can't wait to force everybody to go horse riding lolol and Ben wants to climb Kinabalu (again) =O I want nice fooood ahh. Omg I love my ts group haha BLOGGING IS GREAT CATHARSIS alright bbs I'm off to bed, and in so doing continuing my string of irresponsible slacking activities! Whee tata now [Edit] Oh and Sam. WE HAVE TICKETS TO THE YEAHYEAHYEAHS who cares about seats k k [/Edit] skritch

Balderdash is my new favourite swear word [Monday, November 9th, 2009 @ 9:34pm] [ mood | annoyed ] Ohhh my balderdashing fiddlesticks acappella is so pissing me off right now. (APEC dinner show cancelled, being one of them. Quote Hidhir: "Sg minister managed to save Sg's reputation by cancelling Wed's show." LOL. But am not so much pissed about this as I am about having just rescheduled my programming exam for this. And now I have caused my tutor so much trouble it is beyond belief. I really am going to get him a damn imba gift after exams. Like DAMN IMBA.) On a happier note, I love my theatre studies group. Have I ever talked about how much I love my theatre studies group? Bobbie and I love talking about how we love us hahaha. I don't know how we have so much to talk about all the time. And just enjoy each other's company. Rehearsal tmr 12pm!! All the way until 6pm O_O Am annoyed with myself that I couldn't do scenes 21 and 13 today; spent the whole time on the dance and the scene changes instead. Grr. But we will do it tmr! Tonight I must mug Susan. Oh boy, must I mug Susan. 3 // skritch

Hotel Capella is a great place to have an acappella performance [Sunday, November 8th, 2009 @ 8:50pm] [ mood | nervous ] This is pretty noteworthy, so: for my very last lab assignment, I managed to do it with zero help whatsoever. =D A nice way to end the programming course, I think. (Then again you must also consider that I did email for help just that I got no reply... and it's really easy... and I kinda cheated a bit.) 9pm, with scant progress. I wish my voice would come back. Am freaking nervous about APEC dinner show now. So afraid cos we sound like crap hurhur. Plus with my voice, I really do sound like crap. Am so nervous I typed a long and nervous-sounding email to Prof Gary, troubling him once again with exam reschedules (poor guy, he's the nicest person really I will get him a damn nice gift when this sem is over). Presidents of 21 countries, anybody? -_- And the evening before the forum starts. Oh goodness. Honestly our situation is so ridiculous I would laugh if I could (but right now I'm more of wishing fervently we could change the lead singer for the chinese song and meet up like for another 3h to rehearse the damn thing) Also I really need to learn how to tie my sari. Damn. Help, Lizzie? >.< Programming programming programming come on Sali it's the last chance you'll get before the semester is over 2 // skritch

Bunga sayang = gentle flower of the heart. Get it!! [Sunday, November 8th, 2009 @ 3:25am] [ mood | excited ] Oh goodness. I just spent the past 3h talking to Ben on the phone. And it's on my phone bill. HAHA. Epic phail yet again, Sali T_____T But it's okay la. It was a very good convo. Pretty worth it I think lol. Like, I now have about 20 new metal bands to listen to xD xD Today I was pissed at Tacky again. And bitched at him again hahaha. But he called and things got better. I think I will be pissed off at him every week. Because he lacks basic human skills. It's like having a [insert word here] for your best friend hahaha ok shall not insult him (or insult the poor group of people who ends up as the comparison) Omgomgomg we are seriously singing for The APEC Dinner i.e. for all the presidents of the world. WTF. Feeling so screwed right now because this is the least prepared and polished we have ever been. Life's biggest ironies. And it's a bit too late to try and salvage the situation. Meh. Oh well. Make the most of it I guess. Gonna write to Prof Gary and ask if I can skip the practical exam. HAHA. Tacky says "I have a performance for all the presidents of the world" ought to be a valid excuse. I'm actually considering giving it a try T__T Then again, if 1h of rehearsal prior to the show is sufficient... okay I know it isn't. But well. See how la zz Yohannis is putting the girls' team together. Ahmygawd! So excited xD Alrightt she's da bomb man srsly. Also I can now hone my beatboxing skillz HAHAHA hooyeah! Am totally psyched for this. We're starting soon, too. Hoho. Exams, much? x) Wth. Watching Meshuggah videos (indeed, listening to this kind of music) is probably a bad idea just before bed. Mmh. Owellz goodnight and all 6 // skritch

Man, today was a good day. [Friday, November 6th, 2009 @ 10:06pm] [ mood | happy ] Talked to Chris today, walking to the Deck to meet Ben and Bobbie, and felt so much better after. It feels good to know somebody understands and is sympathetic. I am also indebted to Chris because he's helping me direct (getting people into character), damn useful and time-saving, and he's doing a bloody good job of it. I don't know if I can get people into character. I can't find the analogies, and all my zai actor friends are so good at characterizing on their own that we rarely do this intense characterization stuff. But it could be that it's cos they read the script thoroughly and analyze etc. After Eesha reread the script properly she came back today with a much clearer idea of Alice. Which was almost exactly my idea, just that I think she didn't know what I was saying at first cos she hasn't understood it yet grgh T_T But I console myself with what Claire said to me that day at Hwach ticket booth, promoting for Threesome. "Maybe I have bad communication skills, because what you just told me is what I've known all along." Except I take a different message from it. Everyone has to find their own understanding of their character. Directors can't explain every emotion and every thought process; and if they did, you might still not get it anyway if you haven't understood the script. But today was good especially because Eesha and Bobbie both have a much, much firmer grasp of Alice now. It's so fantastic. I'm damn happy xD We're moving on to higher levels and I'm having a good feeling about this. We're gonna be awesome. (By the way, due to char swaps I now play the whiny, crybaby Susan, who is like a completely submissive and subjugated woman. Isn't that hilarious? ...then again, I can think of some people who would say I'm pretty submissive etc =( Meh) Today after rehearsal Bobbie, Ben, Bee and I (HAHAHA check it out!!) went to have beef noodles at Ben's dad's stall at Parkway =O The beef noodles are damn nice. "Avant-garde" hahaha. Bobbie sneakily stuffed money into his pockets (she's freaking pro at it. He didn't even notice she slipped $5 into his front pocket) but he found out and treated us to cheesecake instead. Oohie. First time I'd been to Dome o.O I think Ben's church rehearsal was laxing right along or sth cos he was supposed to be there at 8 but we left the place at 9 and I think they hadn't started. Win xD After exams we're all gonna make each other food stuffs haha. Ben's gonna teach us how to make basil chicken =O Bee and Bobbie are gonna bake sth, I think. Oh no! I should think of sth non-baked haha. And Bee is like a freaking encyclopaedia btw she knows like everything and has seen every movie and read every book x.x Gosh. Man. It's so rare that I find people I'm so comfortable with. This is one great thing I never want to end. Can everybody please double major or minor in TS T______T Totally loves theatre. My misgivings about the TS programme in NUS are inconsequential now; TS is actually one of the higher standard modules, IMHO =O The midsem test was tough; only 3 people in my class got an A, and 4 in the second class (dunno about the others). The small practicals are tough. The end of sem practical exam is what I'm pretty much devoting my life to now. Lectures are packed with content, which I find insufficient cos readings provide lots more too, and this is the only subject where I find that lectures are insufficient lol! (Maybe cos it's TS, actually. For Soci and SEA the readings are great too, but only some.) I wonder what the end of sem written paper will be like. I should not be blogging. I should be typing rehearsal notes and summarizing the research. Lolol! Kk off to shower and etc 9 // skritch

TS group <3 [Friday, November 6th, 2009 @ 11:01am] [ mood | sick ] I absolutely love my TS group =D They are really the most awesome people. Loves hanging out with them like every spare minute of the day >.< Which we are doing now, pretty much, because of rehearsals. They're really fun and everybody's so talented zomg. The other day we were having (an extended) lunch and Nic was telling Bee and I about the formal and informal forms of saying "go" in Korean. The former sounds like "ka-yo" and the latter is just "ka". Nic said it really loudly lol I said it sounded like a crow. Bee said, "Now we know; crows are Korean." Then Ben came along and said "ka" was Thai for crow =( (This is after he flagged a taxi from the Central Library to the Deck. Which was Bobbie's conjecture for why he took so long, lolol) Yesterday's rehearsal was the longest so far, and the most tense. (I may have an attitude problem?) But things are coming along nicely. We're making good progress! I hope by today we'll be done with fixing everything and it'll just be memorizing and polishing up. I hope next week will be a bit more relaxed >.< But right now, bleh. I need to talk to somebody. On another note, I have been the most scatterbrained, irresponsible thing the whole week. Every day I leave something behind. And on Tuesday I lost my RGS graduation ring .____. Sigh. Words cannot describe how upset I am. But really it's my own stupid fault. Thank goodness for Nic, who has been rescuing my stuff every day since >.< I totally owe the girl <3 I also owe Ben, who crashed two Japanese lessons to help me find my jacket ahaha I'm really a huge troublemaker =/ Zz. Very unhappy with myself. Also, having the flu. Upset! Hope it gets better real soon. 2 // skritch

Bitter heart, bitter heart, tries to keep it all inside~ [Saturday, October 31st, 2009 @ 11:25pm] [ mood | cheerful ] Today I was an hour late for aca cos I got accosted by a salesperson who succeeded in making me buy some Very Expensive skincare products. Like, Seriously Expensive... omg. I won't be buying any more skincare stuff for another 4-5 months T_T (Except facial wash, which I really need, lulz) Am afraid I will be spending loads of money, though. Am going tech crazy. Today I bought the USB internet stick, and I now want the following: - a new (cheap) phone to replace the cock one I have now with its screwed buttons - a smartphone (in February when I renew my plan) -> e.g. the DROID?? by Motorola =O =O - an iTouch (or maybe, if I get abovementioned smartphone, a small cheaper mp3 player) - a Canon S90 camera T_____T Which costs about as much as all the above combined - a Macbook (??!?!?!!?!?!?! HAHAHAHAHAHA omg curiosity killed the cat); prob in Year 2 sem 2 or sth lolol Oh crapp >.< Need to save money. Need to budget like crazy D: ...need to stop having dinner at places like Fish&Co (which is where we had dinner today, btw). Also probably cannot watch any more plays until... December x.x Maybe January. Hm. On a happier note, I never knew they sold cheap phones at 7-Eleven!! =D =D Was so happy today when I found out hahahaha. Yay for Samael who knows this kind of shizz Last night I discovered that an unhealthy focus on rock/metal/punk has more or less killed my voice (read: inability to sing 'nicer' songs). So I spent yesterday and today training to get my singing voice back. It's working!! w00ts~ Supposed to meet Betts etc today for Halloween but didn't in the end =( =( Also Tacky was an ass and refused to go for dinner. Suckerfase x( But oh well today was fun =) Also we had the sexiest cheesecake 3v4r. Some latin-influenced(??) variety at Fish&Co. Man. It was like a hint of coffee (though there was none), toffee/caramelish, nougatish, dunno what texture omg. And of course, graham base <33 Please try it. It's the one whose name you can't pronounce, lawlz I'm ending all my paragraphs indefinitely... heh. OOH A FULL STOP 17 // skritch

There, some things I am good at for a change! [Friday, October 30th, 2009 @ 4:08pm] [ mood | cheerful ] TS practical exam is in two and a half weeks. Lawls. This is going to be so rushed. But it's getting me all tingly with adrenaline =D Cos it's gonna be Really Damn Good. Nevermind the time constraints (and how we also have other stuff to study for). Also, TS assessment yesterday went really well! Woohooo xD I finally did my Autumn Tomyam monologue (about a month overdue, I believe) and Geraldine gave Damn Positive comments I was so happy =O She asked about my rehearsal process and I told her I started memorizing my lines that morning, on the train >.< (Which was 100% true.) She said acting and directing is sth I should stick to, rofl. (In retrospect, I suppose NUS Stage thinks so too. Meh! So much for branching out.) The assessment is only 5% of my total grade btw lawls. But my delight is exponential =O =O ...of course, this was only a 3-minute scene. It hardly means I can pull off (acting or directing) a whole play. But hopefully that'll come with time. I am happy though because I think I'm gaining some Bitch Factor. (Which Claire had been trying so hard to get into me during Threesome, lol!) Still on a small scale, but it'll get better. Woohoo =O Watched Culture Shock last night (entirely because of Nic, lol) i.e. I crashed a Eusoff Hall event x.x Went with Eesha and met my tuition friend and got introduced to other people. Yay! Had 10000 comments about the performances (and production overall). Bzzt. Haha but Nic's (rather, Weijie's) dance was fawesome. Also The Dits!! (I don't know what that means btw.) Also the senior band was pretty good too but the sounds were too mismatched for me. (Tabla, keyboard and guitar, anyone?) They had great chemistry tho and were damn damn entertaining. Good charisma lol. Also I like the gatekeeper i.e. 'Horus' ("I only like pretty girls. ...and dogs"). The dude is seriously thickskinned. And quite epic hahaha. Also during (yet another) technical glitch he entertained the audience in a very normal voice. Which was funny cos he completely broke character during that bit. After that he switched back to Hoarse-Voiced Keeper Of Hell xD After lunch today I had Mango Passionfruit again omgomgomg that thing is sheer bliss srsly! I realize Haagen Dazs is more ex than Ben & Jerry's, but I eat it a lot slower. Probably cos I shovel B&J's (you can't stop eating it. especially NY choc fudge chunk wth???). But Haagen Dazs is to be savoured. Lol I've eaten it twice and it's still almost full. Quite a feat, for me o.O Damn happy yay! Have been alternating between singing Love Story and Zero. Totally different, and I'm only singing the former cos I gotta practice for piano recital (I just realized that it really is difficult to sing and play at the same time??) but really I just want to DANCE DANCE DANCE And OMG Sam mailed! YAY 2 // skritch
