20 Facts About Me

1) I'm a little OCD when it comes to my clothes arrangements and washing my hands (I get grouchy when they're dirty)

3) I frequently growl to myself in the mornings especially in school

4) I eat A LOT (what feels like half my body mass sometimes... which is really saying a lot)

13) I'm still afraid of hanging my legs off the sides of my bed (cause.. monsters :/)

Aww one of my favourite girls <3

Visiting Mel at work at Craftsmen. Really loving this place cause look how pretty it is haha. I wish my room looked like that. So glad more cafes and shops are opening up at Siglap. If I had money I would totally open up an old school arcade/bowling place here hahaha. GOOD IDEA RIGHT.

Ok time to study! What recess week... hahaha.

I'm starting to forget your scent, your voice and what it felt like when I was with you. I'm starting to forget your face, your smile and all I'm remembering are from photographs of the past. I know time does that to people but I'm scared because what if I don't want to forget. And what if I don't want you to forget me. There's nothing left for me to cling on to. I can feel it slipping through my fingers. I know this probably means that I'm getting better and moving on but what if that's not what I want. I'm starting not to feel anything when I see you or your things or your old gifts and it scares me because I know one day this will all fade. Photos and memories, scars and feelings will all fade in time. I just thought that I'd have been able to keep this one in a time capsule so that the memory wouldn't be tarnished and you wouldn't just become another page in the book. But that's the thing with things you once deemed to be special because some day it will cease to hold that place in your heart and you will be left with nothing but an old empty feeling when you look back on the past.

Planet Earth in Concert | Oyster Festival | Full Moon Party

HELLO YOU :) THIS WEEK HAS BEEN CRAZYYY. Phew. So exhausted haha. I was supposed to have three midterms this week and 2 assignments due and a project omg but thank god some got postponed or I wouldn't be here right now hahaha AND IT'S RECESS WEEK NEXT WEEK! I know I should be happy but honestly I'm miserable cause idk argh long story but I was really hoping to get out of the country for a bit.

Just some photos from the past two weeks!

Can't wait to have my own farm or vineyard and ride my horses when I retire hahahaha.

Went for Planet Earth in Concert last Friday and it was AMAZING.

I'm sure this must be familiar right to most right?

I won't say I'm totally a nature person because I'm absolutely terrified of insects (damn those buggers) but I used to love watching BBC and National Geographic documentaries and still do actually just that who has time for TV nowadays right :/ BBC's Planet Earth has been one of my favourite documentaries since I was young so my parents bought me the box set and I used to watch with a notebook in hand and pause and write down everything about the animals HAHA. I still have that notebook actually... From the time I wanted to be a scientist/vet/marine biologist amongst many other things -_- I've even got a notebook of all the questions and things that I've always wanted to research on in my free time..

Anyways the concert was held in the Esplanade theatre where the footage was projected onto a 10 metre curved screen while the Singapore Symphony Orchestra played the accompaniment. I've never seen any orchestra other than what I was forced to watch in Secondary school but ok legit the Singapore Symphony Orchestra was seriously amazing. The whole performance was a perfect symbiosis between the images and the music and it was a real spectacle.

There's a video on their website showcasing short snippets of the concert :)

I love LOVE LOVE animals so idk maybe I sound a little obsessive now haha but definitely wouldn't have missed it for the world. The concert's footage is split into different chapters about various types of wildlife and planetary phenomenons. I REALLY love elephants and snow leopards hahaha so when I saw it onscreen I CRIED HAHAH. Ok not cried because of that la but because it was so sad?? Elephants are just such beautiful compassionate creatures. Did you know they can die of a broken heart and they have burial and mourning rituals for their dead. Their ability for such emotional depths really puts some humans to shame. It was so heartbreaking cause the footage was of a mother and baby elephant separated from the herd and they were lost in the middle of the desert and THEY DIED. Idk what it was but they looked so helpless I wished I could have done something :/ haha yesss I'm such a crybaby I know BUT IT'S SO SAD OK. I just get damn upset when I see them suffer unnecessarily especially in those documentaries on ivory trade ugh like I'll always cry when I watch all those documentaries about animal slaughter where you see all these people butcher animals so senselessly. UGH SO INFURIATING  >:(

 My all time favourite photo. My everyday mood embodied in one photo hahaha.

 AWWWWWW SUCH A CUTIE PIE <3

Idk what it is but there's something about the way they lie on their face like that HAHA.

The segment about penguins was so cute though HAHA idk maybe it's just me but PENGUINS ARE HILARIOUS HAHA. Like little blobs of chubbs hobbling about HAHAHA AND WHERE ARE THEIR LEGS?? Am I the only one who finds their absence of legs disturbingly adorable?? Their body is just head, no-neck, stomach and feet HAHA. Like looking at a very fat short man in a suit.

 DON'T THEY ALWAYS LOOK LIKE THEY'RE RUSHING ON A MISSION OR SOMETHING??

 Wiggle wiggle wiggle

HAHAHAHAHAHA bet thats what I look like when I run for the shuttle bus in school

They also showed the behind the scenes footage of how the wildlife photographers managed to capture these shots and the amount of dedication and patience these people have is just nothing short of unbelievable. The segment was called "Wish You Were Here" and it shows how these photographers have to hide camouflaged for 118 hours on end or live in the bleakest weather conditions alone for months just for the hopes of capturing that one shot. This photographer spent months trying to capture footage of the snow leopard (my all time favourite <3) and they're so rare and beautiful. Really really admire these people who have so much dedication to what they do.


There was this incredibly anal man sitting next to me and photography wasn't allowed inside but I took some photos just cause he was so annoying. Anyways if there's another show, I'm definitely going haha my face was like :O and :'( and :') idk hahah I get super emotional when I watch things especially movies haha my face is always damn tense HAHA.

Work at TBC on Saturday! My first time at the full moon party and it's not really my thing. I couldn't wait to go home the whole time tbh.

Watched The Maze Runner AND IT WAS GOOOOOD. I was so nervous in the movie HAHA. Ok but not as good as The Hunger Games. Jlaw's my B I can't say anything bad about her even if I wanted to :') Idk what it is but I love the influx of post-apocalyptic world movies where the heroes and heroines of the plot are people our age fighting and doing kickass shit. AND CAN'T WAIT FOR HALLOWEEN!! ALL THE HORROR MOVIES COMING OUT YESSSYESYESYESYES HAHA and I'm gonna order my costume real soon ;) this year's costume is gonna be awesome I can't wait!

Also went for the OYSTER FESTIVAL HEHEHEHEHE. Man I love oysters.. I WANNA GO EVERYDAY HAHA. Ate so much I was a bit scared I'd get shellfish poisoning.. But that would mean I don't have to go to school. Hmm..

There was SASHIMIIIIII OMGGGGGG. FREE FLOW SASHIMI AND OYSTERS AND CRAB LEG?? THE COLD CRAB LEG ARGH. What can be better. And HaagenDazs Ice cream <3 AND CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN

 Shabu Shabu area!

Getting super fungry writing about this :'(

After the most god awful paper on feminism ever. Seriously the whole paper I couldn't find things to write about so I made up my own terms HAHA SORRY PROF.

 Three hours of sleep everyday AIYAAAA LOOK HOW SMALL MY EYES HAVE BECOME :'(

Wore my PJs to school cause.. argh couldn't be bothered HAHA. MY SHOES ARE SO WHITE AND I LOVE THEM BUT THEY HURT SO BAD :'( Been limping around in school haha but I'm hoping the more I wear them the less they'll hurt?

Last week was pretty bad to say the least. It's just.. I hear these things and ugh I really don't know what to make of it. But I think I'm feeling slightly better and I hope I never lose that feeling! I guess all that's left for me to do is to handle the situation maturely and just keep moving on. Enough of all this wallowing haha I'm so sick of feeling (and looking) like death every day. Baby steps :)


Ok gotta go for birthday dinner and work/Dash Berlin. Not looking forward to it cause Zouk is gonna be crazy packed and ugh just idk not in the mood for socialising or anything for that matter. Can't wait to be home in bed for my Breaking Bad marathon hahahaha.

Ughhhhhh

Digressing from doing my research paper on medieval literature cause I just can't concentrate. This week has been exceptionally trying both emotionally and mentally I can literally feel my white hairs and wrinkles growing ohgod no :/

Got 2 midterm papers and so many assignments due this week and I'm just so severely underprepared time to find a new profession like competitive eating or something I'm actually good at. Idk why but each time I just can't bring myself to focus or even sleep proper each night. Just really never felt more helpless or lonely before WHYYYYY UGHHH.

It's been one of those weeks you know? Or rather one of those months haha. Really hope everyone else is doing a lot better but if you're not, you're welcome to sulk here with me haha. Misery loves company and I could really use another person to sulk and watch gruesome horror movies with me. I swear if life knocks me down right now I'm just gonna lie there and hope I somehow cry enough to drown myself. Ok i'm just being melodramatic. Things aren't really THAT bad haha I just wanna rant.

Seriously though it's gotten to the point I subconsciously growl and go ughhh or arghhhh ajshfakheu to myself while walking around school :/ feel like I'm turning into grumpy cat.

OK I'm done moping and procrastinating!!.. for now.. Back to writing about Geoffrey Chaucer and SERIOUSLY ancient literature. YAY ME.

Yeap this dog gets me.
