MINK & MOE

2008-08-29T15:40:00.006+08:00

HOLLA HUMANSSS.

I can't believe you all still come here.

Okay, I can't help it either, minkandmoe's prettttty much :D

All the colours and all. HAHAA. ANYWAY.

Doing just a little update on the relinkage. ((:

RELINK ME YOU PRINCESSES/KINGS.

And head over to the dark side.

Although I might just update here when I get bored of white/greys.

2008-08-19T18:12:00.002+08:00

I'm flying off today, (:

Thanks for the many happy memories that this blog has encapsulated;

and to all my readers, you're very much loved.

But before I end my very last post on this blog,

let me share with you what Mink&Moe stood for.

Many a times in my life, I appear to different people differently.

In school, I may seem like some overachiever, some nerd, crazy about entrepreneur club and all.

Outside, I appear to be a party animal who hardly gives a phelps about school.

And then there're the many grey areas between, and to some people I may be a mink,

others, a moe.

So, I started this blog, Mink&Moe, hoping that here's the place where everyone will see both sides of me. Hence, see the mink and moe of me.

But with time, as the number of drafts grow.

I realise that, I can never really truly be myself on a blog.

And I'm sure, I'm not the only blogger who feels this way too.

So, as with An Angelina, I'm moving away from this blog. (:

But I guess we never do really say goodbye.

At least for now.

With lots of love,

Angelina

I'm taking a hiatus.

After which, i should be moving to lj. (:

lots of kisses and pancake syrup,

Mrs Phelps

(nope, i'm not kidding.... )

2008-08-16T23:08:00.001+08:00

byebye life, for the next 5 weeks.

It's going to pay off, I swear.

I hope...

I think. (:

DAMMIT. IT WILL.

Because sometimes, a whole story isn't enough to tell your deepest, darkest secrets.

2008-08-13T22:38:00.002+08:00

To you, if you ever happen to chance upon this blog ever again:

happy one month,

and i hope that whatever you decided on,

will bring you happiness to last.

because i only want what's best for you.

if it was merely a game,

then may i pronounce you the winner,

while i take my leave from this stage.

That said, (: exciting post coming up shorrrtly!

(for me, at least)

2008-08-12T01:32:00.003+08:00

When I started this blog, I was prepared for judgments, I was prepared for (shallow) people to pass off comments about me when they don't even know me.

Whilst being prepared is one thing, tolerating them is another thing.

Who are we to judge others? Much less people whose shoes we haven't put ourselves into?

It's not as if this is affecting me, but it's just been surfacing in my thoughts. Especially the past few days.

So, let me make this clear.

Know me, or don't speak of me.

2008-08-10T23:03:00.006+08:00

Hello future-soulmate, if you're reading this, kindly come into my life 3 months later, thank you! :D

shit you, a levels. haha.

Couldn't resist snapping a shot of this beautiful sunday afternoon;

NEW YORK NEW YORK

with Cornelius, Vindri and Stella :D

Cornee, Vindri and I used to study together for the o levels! (: (and end up eating somewhere, i swear, always the case! hhahhaa)

So we called ourselves "faith", don't ask. haha. :D

AND THEN, all 3 of us got into tjc by coincidence. AND THEN, cornee left for CHINA, and vindri left for CHICAGO. good job, people! leaving me here in singapore. hahaha. (:

Anyway, both of them happened to come back during their holidays so we decided to catch up over a smackin-fantastic dinnner at newyork newyork! Oh, and I made a new friend, Stella, who's vindri's church friend. :D (who's on holiday from studying in Canada) Okay, some international relations dinner. hahahhahaa.

PEEEKTURES(:

Cornee looks at the menu and looks at the giant meatball spaghetti item and goes "what if the meatball's really gigantic"

Me: "Just cut it then......... -.-"

yup, he did cut it in the end. HAHAHA. what the hell.

My lipsmacking penne alfredo with a half roasted chicken.

It's not sinful, dammit, it's called appreciating good food. (:

I'm going to miss you guys when you all fly off. :((

GOOD JOB corneee. love that smile. hahahhahaha.

He's going to kill me after seeing all these unglam photos posted up by me. HAHAHHAA. :D

Anyway, spent the whole dinner making fun of him and his china-tendencies and vindri and her new found american accent. It was DAMMMN funny. :D hahaha. everything cornnee said to soot us, i replied. "at least we're not from china".. HAHAHA. (:

Thanks you darlings, for the wonderful time. You guys are the reason that make me believe that friendships do and can last, beyond distances and time. (:

LOVE!

2008-08-07T22:44:00.002+08:00

It's raining outside, won't you take my hand and spin me around whilst heaven's teardrops roll down our flushed cheeks;

The urti's back again, off to doctors, new lease of medicine.

but that doesn't mean I lose my optimism.

Congee + adherence to my doctor's prescriptions + tons of sleep

I'm going to be well, I have to be.

Ambition is dream with a v8 engine.

1. Good life starts only when you stop wanting a better one.
2. Sometimes, the truth is not good enough. And when that time comes, close your eyes for awhile, gather your heavy heart and walk away. There'd be good days when the pain doesn't come, but I'm not implying that there won't be days where all you want to do is curl up in a corner, waiting for someone to take you away, from the pain. But it'd get better, with time.
3. I'm still in shock that I finished today's physics mcq diagnostic test like 15 mins before? haha, then me and michelle started wondering why there's so many b's and c's; rather dubbious. :( oh bother, let's hope we do well. :D
4. I was sooo tired today finishing all the shitwork/studying last night, so when I staggered to the canteen to find redbull, alas! they don't sell it. darrrn. I want my vdkrebull. :( p, can we hurry up plan our weeekend?
5. Out of sight, out of mind.
6. Butter squid + phad thai doesn't go. HAHAHA.
7. You know how you like to push people around, snap at them, throw your weight around and think that people are still putting up with you? you are so wrong, babe. I don't know about you, but I believe in karma and you should too. I swear you're feeling the guilt and insecurities already; tsk.
8. Money isn't everything; but without money, you're nothing.
9. I take a different path from you, so please stop trying to mould me to fit into your strategies and whats not; I know what's good for me.
10. I just took a darn long nap today afternoon, and I'm already tired now. This is bad. (: Ah well, here's to more work toniggght. but SLEEEP EARLY. need them sleep. :D

loveee, novaseth.

2008-08-05T19:33:00.006+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAAADDEEE.
I swear you loook as gorgeous as you did when you were 18 years old in that army uniform looking like some korean superstar.. HAHAHA. i'm so going to scan that photo one day and gush about how charming you arreee. (: I hope you had a good time today, dee. :D I'm praying you never ever chance upon this blog, but if you do, let's hope this profession of love for you offsets whatever rubbish you found out about me through mink&moe. :D Just want to say that i love you with all my heart, and i've always admired you from a little girl till the semi-adult that I am now. I'm sorry for all the times I hurt you, but it was never in my intention to do so. I'm sorry for being the (primary) cause of the destruction of your (old and needs a replacement anyway! hahaa, and i bet you love that smacking new sexy gorgeous titanium phone you have now) phone. (details about incident not included) Thanks for all the times you shoved your work away just so i can lay in your arms to cry about (shitty) stuff, all the times you loved me unconditionally, and being the abso-handsome father that you aree. (: I swear I lovee you, and of course, marmee too :D and i guess people might not have guessed it. but you guys are the reason as to why i wanna go smu so much. (: I don't ever want to be caught in a situation whereby I've a choice to stay in a hostel for convenience sake and to avoid the long commute (which I hate). I know there'd come a day whereby I'd have to take flight from under your wings, but for now, all I need is to stay as close as I can to the 2 people I love the most. (:

PEEEEKTURES NOW. :D

Top of the M on Marmee's birthday (:

I just realised they are so colour co-ordinated, hahaa. TSK! people in love. haha

Like father, like daughter! hahaha. (:

SEEE! Even the whole checks top. (Cny 2008)

My 18th at J'aan at Swissotel;
(at this point, i finally conclude that my father is in love with checks. Either that, or he has no other clothes, HAHAHA!)

HAHA! I love my goooofy parents. :D
I bet you can't tell that they're past 50 yrs of age already. haha ((:
They're the reason I still believe in happy ever afters.

I love you both, from the bottom of my heart.

OKAY! Now, random musingggs. :D
1. P thinks its mad that my counter keeps increasing like nobody's business. Personally, I don't even keep track of my counter. And even so, I think it's attributed to people like her who keeps refreshing the page to load the tagboard or some other shit. :D hahaha.

2. I've seen a total of at least 60 (and still counting) toyata wish(es) on the road for the past 2 weeks. I'm perfectly fine with proliferation of certain cars on the road IF they're like good looking. :D (eg. sexy mazda3/6 in burgundy, red, black and cobaltblue. :D) but toyota wish(es) are number one: SUPER BULKY. number two: COMES IN THE MOST (i would say atrocious but that's too mean) out-of-this-world (literally, they should be out of this world:D, hahaha!) COLOURS. hahaha, (: the best thing? daddy agrees with me! HAHA.
p.s by this, i mean no ill intention to people who drive toyota wish(es). :D

3. It's sickening to live a double life. Because people will judge, form impressions and use them on you. (: Not as if it really bothers me, but there are just somethings in life which would be best kept a secret, at least for now. AND. I'm moving like really soon, once i find a nice nice lj skin. After which, I shouldn't be divulging my blog add. If you're one of my close friends, you should be able to find it. If not, hahaha, then, what you don't know won't kill you. :D And until now, I still discover new (extremely strange) readers of my blog, which.. is quite. hmm. hahah. okay, screw this point.

4. I've found my lofty dream (After an epiphany), as in seriously. And it's beyond SMU, and only one other person knows about it. (: I'm not divulging for now! but I'd probably spill in my livejournal. :D stay tune to that man, haha.

5. I love skyping with you, and doing weird para para dances with my moss-green facial mask on. UNTIL i find out you've been secretly snapping screenshots of me, together with all my cranko-ness. hahahhahaa. whathebang-la. watch out for our next skype, i swear, you're going dowwwwn baby!

6. I'm going to kiccck prelim's ass. Think saatchi&saatchi. :DDDD and i love michelle for all the motivation she's been providing me. (: (big kisses)

OKAY. I took like one and a half hours on this.
(: off to shower and worrrk for the night. :D

with loads of whipcreme,
NOVASETH. :D

2008-08-01T22:51:00.007+08:00

PRE-WARNING:

1) If it's past midnight, and you're in a very starvacious mode and you would attack a cow and eat it now if you could, then please divert your attention to other blogs, at least for now! lest you hate mink&moe forever! :D (you'd understand why if you scroll down)

2) I'm horribly tired on a friday night (gasps! can you believe it?! what happened to tgif?) So if whatever i'm typing doesn't seem to cogent nor coherent, please pardon me. (:

OKAY. here comes a shitload of peektures! (:

So I was rummaging my fridge the other day, found loads of boxes of chocolates from chocolat world and every other chocolate gourmet; realised that friends of my family lovees to buy us chocolates, not knowing that we're not much of a chocolate fan club, hahaha. and YESS, that's why my friend just lovee coming to my house to ravage my fridge. (hello shaikha! haha)

So, I opened up this huge box of chocolates which was already opened. They were all soooo pretty that I just had to try one. and guess what? The moment i sank my teeth into one, dark chocolate and its hint of brandy oozed and i went straight up to haven. Dark chocolate and alcohol together, is pretty much love and sin all wrapped in one small little evil package!

haha (:

Couldn't resist just taking a photo of the heavenly filling;

yes.. heaven comes in 24 different little shapes, sizes, fillings and tastes;

The beautiful view outside the window just before sunset;

So, one evening, my parents went out for dinner at goodwood park hotel. I decided to ditch maggee mee and the horribly unhealthy food which i usually takeaway from the coffee shop behind, and channel the inner jamie oliver in me for the first time in a very long while. Whipped up some tuna & omelette and good ole mushroom soup!

p.s friends who know me should know i really do love having dinner parties, or just cooking hell lots and inviting people over for a good meal and awesome company. ;)

yes.. i do love cooking!

I always use butter, never oil. Butter's so much more fragrant, i swear. Season tuna with lots of ground black pepper!

I prefer homemade mushroom soups, esp the one from the Big Fish at Siglap. (: Don't get me wrong though, I do appreciate Mr Campbell. :D

I've this weird habit of putting pepper into my raw eggs before frying them. It's kind of like the action of seasoning your meat before frying them. (: I don't know about you guys, but I love doing this way, but of course, more pepper (ONLY GROUND black pepper) after it's cooking (:

The eggs were really really fluffy, soft, and full of flavour from the butter and the tuna. (:

Hello mushroom soup! :D

I love what daddy's contractor did to our kitchen, really pretty and all now. (: It has like lights over the frying area and the fan thingy to suck up all the smoke that would have gotten into your face. =O

So a good friend of mine happened to be passing by my street, so I invited him over to share the fruits (okay, not literally fruits in this case) of my labour! (: and after that, we started to talk about everything random and all. (:

Haha, and yes, he kept thanking me for helping him with some shots he needed.

HAHA! If you've seen my other photos, you'd realise that something about me's different! I swear it's just a small small difference, but it does make a difference after all! (:

oooo, played with my geeque specks once more :D

I love the black and white version better.

Have been watching The Hills recently on mtv.com! (: Am surprised at how it's almost a narration of my life at times. I'm pretty much a Lauren Conrad, but there's the Tiffany in me that's like this perfectionist and just strives so hard to get where she wants to in life. Heidi's the parrty girl in me, who loves events, parties and all, and the quiz i took (yes those twittty quizes :D which are rather fun, i must add) said I'm an Audrina. (: Can't see the Whitney in me though, besides the fact she's hell tall. haha.

From left: Lauren Conrad, Audrina, Whitney, Heidi Montag

And there's Jason, whom I thought was made for Lauren. But ever so true to reality, just when you keep thinking you must be living a fairy tale, you just get snapped out of it, and come to realise that it doesn't always mean "happily ever after" albeit it feeling so right.

Love the swimsuit if not for the horrible tan line that would result from;

(:SINGFEST tomorrow and sunday, while my parents are off in KL for a Chris Tomlin concert for the weekend. House party on saturday or something! :D (hello daddy and mummy, nope, you're not really seeing this.. haaha!)

(: 1 month and 8 days to prelims;

impossible is nothing.

work hard hard hard.

my urti is coming back though. shitdarnshitdarnshit.

:D have a wickkkked weekend sweethearts!

2008-07-28T19:51:00.005+08:00

just finished classes;

i'm exhausted physically.

yet i'm all pumped out to do well.

yup, pops has been sharing the fact that he feels i'm not working hard enough, with.. people.

I guess he doesn't understand currently, that sometimes, your achievements aren't solely based on that singular alphabet. Instead, it's the whole journey of self-betterment as a human that truly counts. BUT, this little bonanza doesn't dampen my spirits. It takes more than what other people think, their judgments and all; Simply because I believe in myself and what I do. And I call it a bonanza because it just fuels my fighting spirit in this race; Why take into consideration of other people's views on your life (note: how many years have they known you for? you're your friend for like (insert your age here) years, surely you have the clearest views) and let them screw up your confidence? Fight them, be strong, and seriously, there are some people in your life you can do without. I'm not asking you to walk away from these people, just don't make someone a priority when they only make you an option. ;)

6 weeks.

I've never been more ready to make this right.

"So what makes you stand out from the typical A level graduate?"

That Mr Lee Kong Chian, is the fact that I earned these grades, while having the time of my life.

(hell yea)

and i love you too, mister you-know-who. ;)

AND AND, i want my cheap oh-so-entertaining thrill tonight!!

OKAY. WORK WORK TONIGHT. (:

(kisses)

2008-07-27T20:43:00.004+08:00

I've come to a realization that there're alot of "people" reading my blog.
HAHA.
Once I find a beautiful skin for my livejournal,
i'm moving ;)

I'm not giving details yet, but i had a whopping wiccckkkkeeed weekend;
(winks with an... all-knowing smile)

and SINGFESTTTT.
ARGHEGQEGEHQEGEGFQEHF.
I've the best girl in the world, dammit!
(restrains myself from screaming and drown myself in 42below)
so before i wham out nova seth for the weekend,
imma work my butts off for the next 5 days.
Play hard? This girl needs to study even harder. ;)
I'm on a high;
Okay, let me rush back to economics essssaaays and continue my mental orgasmic experience with international trade, hahahhaa.

.. i'm serious!
with big ass kisses,
novvaa seth. (:

p.s thanks for all the get well soon wishes, all the presents, cards and messages; you guys are the sweetest and you have no idea how much it touched me! :'( i'm much much better already after the change in medicine, all recharged for school and its (mumbles) exciting agendas! (: much love!

2008-07-24T21:28:00.003+08:00

I'd give anything in the world,

to remember this lesson.

The lesson that helped me truly understand,

that the richest ones in the world,

are not the ones who have the most;

but are in fact, the ones who need the least.

And right now,

all I need is my family, my lil sister and the close friends that i treasure with all my heart,

my health to come back to me, and happiness for everyone to a last a lifetime.

No amounts of quid, not even that darn sexy lamborghini gallardo spyder can make me anymore happier than I could ever be.

well, okay, maybe Christian Bale. (squeals)

And Lastly, my dear friends.

Always, always be yourselves.

For life's much too short to be anyone but yourself.

If you ever find a need to change yourself or be someone else apart from who you are,

just to fit in, just to make someone fall in love with you,

you'd never truly be happy.

Don't you want that someone to love you for who you really are?

Be clad in your fbts and haivanna's, liquideyeliner-less, untamed tresses and all.

And still be able to be in his arms, feeling all the love in the world,

knowing that he loves the one inside of you.

So, be happy my darlings!

p.s Just in case my darlin' friends are worried that i'm losing my appetite because they worry that I may have problems or something of that sort, hence the recent loss of weight. I'm truly alright, (: just too much congee/porridge these few days, haha, oh the cravings of a abso-delectable bowl of hot congee is enough to take my cold away albeit just for a little while. Tried the Atkin's diet? Now, try the CONGEEEEE diet! =) hahahaha.... kidding!

Have a lovely weekend. (:

(many kisses)

2008-07-21T22:40:00.004+08:00

I've had about 6 drafts ever since my last posting. I've come to terms that although it is highly dependent on the blogger, a blog will always serve to be a facade. You keep things that you are afraid that you'd be judged on; You hence, put your best face forward. So, like how Saber (yes darling! it's Saber, not Sabre! haha) Tooth Bunny aptly put it, a blog is a mere act of aggrandizing one's self. So, this will be my last post (shortly after my attainment of an epiphany).

(imagines shocked expressions)

HAHAHAA. kidding! I love mink&moe too much. (: Like how countries have their ecological footprints, I want a place that records the little moments of my life. Keep a diary then, I hear you say. Well, I've always kept a mantra that as long as I keep making a difference in the world one person at a time, whether it's from my posts, my random musings, my laa dee dum, I've done my part on this gravitational sphere. So thee says share, share, share and spread thy love!

Anyway, (: I've been under the weather, rather horribly if I may add. Upper Respiratory Tract Infection, fever and warnings of a impending pneumonia; The rain isn't helping much, especially since i indulge in dancing in the rain, and apparently, the reluctance to see any more people donned in white coats restrains me to do as such. (: So, if I may retract myself from further digression (hahahaa! One of our favourite past times huh!), let me move on to describing my first day in school after 2 days of mc + 2 days of weekends. First 2 periods of Economics was alright, and once physics came, I swear all my wheezing, coughing, (snorting) was enough to scare the dalai lama away. (: Thanks for all the love everyone showed me though, it keeps me going strong so much much loves and many brownie points for everyone! (: So after physics, I was like... greattttt, Human Geog next and time for my presentation. By that time, my throat was so hoarse that any more clearing of the throat would render it a barren canal. (haha!) Guess what? It went more smoothly than I would have expected, although I'd like to apologize to my fellow geog mates for my voice which could have been accounted for as noise pollution! hahaha. After Geog, I swear that all I wanted to do was to catch some shuteye, I was so drowsy by then. Hence, the half day off!

I swear Pearlyn would be the reason for me turning bi, IF I ever go to the other side one day. hahaha, I'm sorry babe though, =( I want kidsss! hahaha, my own kids. (: I'm going to be a proud mama one day!

98 days 08 hours 30 minutes 04 seconds

keep the countdowns coming, for these numbers are the only wake up call that actually work on me. As Pearlyn like to proclaim, I'm going to be a lee kok kok scholar!! (I swear if Mr Lee Kong Chian sees this, I'm so dead = You're so dead)

By the way, that countdown, is to A levels, my fellow slaves of the education system! KEEP UP THE GOOOD WORK! (for the mugger toads) & START DOING WORK! (to everyone else)

Darren told me today, that you can give up everything except your studies for now; you go all out for this thing you call l**e and you end up being nothing. And although I begged to differ, believing in working things out, he made sense. He's my inspiration, and yes, I do miss you Mr Darren T'ng.

And if you, ever chanced upon this,

I'm truly sorry.

Here's to an early sleep without regards of homework or whatsoever. I need my health back! (: And to Ms Max (and all you mugger toads who disregard sleep), pleassseeee get some rest too! =D Don't end up like me. :(

Cogito, ergo sum - I think, therefore I am.

Intuition fails you when you need it the most,

Intuition allows the wall you've so painstakingly erected to crumble,

Top 10 Random musings;

1. Don't try to have a champagne lifestyle on a beer budget

2. Life isn't defined by the number of breaths you take, but the number of moments that took your breath away

3. Make it an ultimate must, with no way out - that's how you get to where you want to

4. Be thankful for the happy memories you've made, but when it's time to move on, don't be afraid to make new ones

5. I hate the fact that people generally take business courses only because they "don't know what else to take" - i don't hate those people, just hate how it shapes peoples' impression of business courses

6. I'm independent as much as I am dependent

7. Thanks to Daryl, I learnt that Mink&Moe is an alliteration!

8. There's more than it meets the eye, i swear.

9. I don't need a hellova party hoard of friends in my life, a few close ones make my day anytime

10. These random musings aren't arranged in order, they're random ;)

Adapted from Tyki,

His notion on relationships and love strikes a deep chord within me.

Maybe you'd feel it too, after reading this.

"Every relationship has a cycle.

In the beginning, after falling in love with your partner/spouse, you anticipated their call, wanted their touch albeit their idiosyncrasies (unconventional behavior/habit).

Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to do anything. That's why it's called 'falling' in love... you just fall.

People in love sometimes say, 'I was swept off my feet.' Think about the imagery of that expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something came along and happened TO YOU.

Falling in love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience. But after a few years of marriage, the euphoria (excitement) of love fades. It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship. Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts.

The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.

At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, 'Did I marry the right person?' And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This is when marriages breaks down. People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage for fulfillment.

Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is the most obvious. But sometimes people turn to work, a hobby, a friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances.

But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage. It lies within it. I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else.
You could.

And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later. Because (listen carefully to this):

THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT IN FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON; IT'S IN LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.

SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll NEVER just happen to you. You can't 'find' LASTING love. You have to 'make' it day in and day out. That's why we have the expression 'the labor of love.' Because it takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it takes WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage work.

Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your marriage.

Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships. Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship WILL make your marriage stronger. It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable... you can 'make' love.

Love in marriage is indeed a 'decision'... Not just a feeling.

Remember this always"

Thanks tyki, the world, or at the very least, I, do need a down to earth take on what essentially is the closest thing we have to magic - love.

Got back my results for jcts today, and i passed everything!! =) I didn't even get an S! (big achievement considering the effort i actually put in for this round of exams) My best subject's General Paper, which although, i should feel happy for, but all i do feel (unfortunately) is that it may be a big fat fluke. i mean, from essays that flutuated around high 10's to low 20's, to 30's (upon 50). =O Yea, i'm surprised myself too. Ah well, it might be due to the opportunity to turn my gp essay into one comprising of many economics elements! HAHAA. Next subject was Economics. =)) Though i think that i could have done much much better.

Anyway,

i neeeed to run now cause it's tgif!!!! =DDDDDDD

before, my weekend starts and end in less than a couple of hours and the to do list calls out to me for some attention.

(insert unhappy face here)

(: love, novaaa seth.

2008-07-07T11:01:00.008+08:00

hey daddy, happy youth day to me! can i have a new router? =D

RAHHRAHRHARHAHRAHRHRA.

my router spoilt, so i can't access my wireless at home.

(inserts many many unhappy faces here)

and because of this techo-glitch,

the jct gp essay question on how technology handicaps more than it helps keeps surfacing in my train of thoughts. haha.

so, without the beloved internet,

i started looking around for a new distraction,

SIMS 2 on my mommy's phone!

hahhaa, (:

it's darn waste of time, i'd just lie on my bed for like 3 hours and play non stop.

get soooo bored watching her take half an hour (in sims time, that is) to walk to the toilet.

fall asleep and wake up to play more sims.

great, my life is UBER productive WITHOUT the internet. =O

so i thought i'd rather play sims on the comp which has more applications and all,

so i inserted the (pirated) cd into my desktop (cause mac's being an ass and not accepting it again)

AND, the final bit of the setup asked me to insert the serial number at the back of the cd.

and i realised, mommy threw away the original (fake) cd cover with the (fake, but still usable) serial number.

(insert many many unhappy faces here)

and no prizes for guessing,

i was back on my bed playing. ****2 on the phone again.

HAHAHHA.

great, i've a life!

ANYWAY, just before you think my router's back in motion since, well, i'm blogging right?

you're WRONG.

I literally took a bus all the way to the library to tap on the (i swear, super fast) wireless@sg available there. there's this macair user not too far away from me..

and he's kind of .. cute! =) haha, okay okayyy, back to talking about my (great) life!

anyway, if you dont see me online or blogging for the next few days (no, i'm not going to say WEEKS, it's taboo. wait, oh shit, i just did !!)

just drop me a msg, but since my phone's cranky too,

you can call my hp, (:

that's if i'm not playing sims2, during which i shut off the whole world, HAHA, kidding. (:

mom's at work = sims2's at work= cant play sims2 = left with shitloads of work to do! =D

Anyway, (: moving on to fill you in on what i've been busy with!

Dempsey's the new zouk, yo!

no, i'm not being a twit, it's the new group in facebook i just joined after i lost my dempsey-virginity last friday with p is for pearlyn! (: took a bus from town and trudged up dempsey hill, didn't know we were going up the WRONG hill, so ended up at muthu's curry, HAHAA (:

okay, no, i'm not being a frigging racist. =D

So after going here and there, we found our paradise! Started off at ps cafe, which i swear was gorgeous!

Ended up at Hacienda cause being the music-junkie, i just went to where the music lured. Awesome dj doing his stuff. (: Had an arnold palmer, which was like 0.0000000121212% vodka and the rest was like iced lemon tea. HAHHA, i bet it was like seasons la, and i was like.. bahh, asked the girl if she could help me ask the bartender to make it stronger, and after which, it kind of was better, i think. P had ..... ribena and sparkling water. shit bag lor, asked if we should have shooters, then p was like, nooooooooo, dont want. =( so i'm left with iced lemon tea, and her, ribena! hahaha. =D wthwthwthwth, we're going to conquer the whole of dempsey one bar at a time, HOUSE next! =) bye bye friday evenings!

Totally had this long post i wanted to write on saturday night, alas! the internet broke down, and i'm too hungry to sit here and type out everything, so yeah, hopefully when my router's back in action, i'd type it out, along with the shitloads of posts i owe!!! =)

btw, p, it's..

Alcohol is the anesthesia by which we endure the operation of life. (:

you ALWAYS screw up my quotes one. tsk. =D

OKAY, i shall scoot off, (: work work work today. =)

see you lovelies. (:

*big kisses.

2008-07-03T17:16:00.007+08:00

haha, ohmymuffins, i just realised that my safari actually allows me to edit the font sizes/colours/types in the blogger window. I initially thought that macbook was being an ass once more by disallowing this and that, but heh! thanks p is for pearlyn! :D

Random musings;

Got back my feesicks paper yesterday and my macroeconomics essay today. Regarding feesicks, hahaha, it was a severe case of underperformance on my part although i should be able to pass after adding cp, mod and all. but still! it's not the marks that i care about, although i'm sinisterly contented with my grades after putting like half a day's of effort in it, and it's not because i'm "lay-zee" (quote:pearlyn), it just was a really bad patch i was going through, which i'm still working through; slowly but surely. MACROECONOMICS ESSAY. I was seriously surprised, (smiles) do hope that my micro and case study which i'd get back tomorrow will help me get a good grade (crosses fingers) for my (don't call me mad, but..) favourite subject. =)

I think my momentum is coming back to me. I'm starting to be diligent (again) in doing my tutorials (for those who think that being the super-geek that i am and that i've been consistently doing my tutorials, you are so wrong! hahaha. confession, i havent been doing the full maths tutorials since.. vectors? hahaha, but heyyy, it's never too late to start right? haha) and i've been trying to snooze earlier! Unlike my usual 2-3 am bedtime, i'm actually sleeping before 12 these few days. However, i think my body clock's still trying to adjust, cause i feel more sleepy in school (note: gp lessons especially) as compared to sleeping at 2am. =O yay! 10 weeks to prelims, let's do this people!!!! leeeekongchian!! *waves.

So, tomorrow's half day and p is for pearlyn's taking mc tomorrow for her bad throat (take care dearie!). SO, instead of resting at home, she decided that we're going to have an outing!! probably going to watch per-neh-loh-pee, HAHA! going to spend more money again, i swear ahhh, p, you're making me bleed quids. but i heart spending time with you. =) And i still think us ordering the exact same thing today for japanese, chicken katsu don without onions, and chawanmushi. at DIFFERENT timings and our choice of mango&oreo for the frozen yoghurt, is darn freaky! (:

I'm frippin' sleepy now, and I think i'm going to get some shuteye, before i go *** tonight. =D

love, nova seth.

2008-07-01T19:38:00.002+08:00

hahahaha,
totally owe another post for hossan leong day out with p is for pearlyn (:
please add it to my (already super) long list of owed posts!
(grins)

SO, anyway,
school started yesterday, (:
i've this bittersweet feeling about school.
somehow, it's better when i'm in school,
but then, when i'm literally in school,
i wish i'm out of school.
hahhaa, yes, the grass is always greener on the other side.
(: unless of course, if there's a cow herd living opposite, heh.
then there wont be anymore grass left! hahahahhaa XD
So far i've gotten back maths ytd and geog today!
I passed maths, which i was utterly shocked at.
because i really didn't deserve it this time round.
but ah well, i'm really thankful for it, and it just motivates me to do better next time round!
=)
totally flunked geog like donutsshit though.
okay, it wasnt suppperrrr bad looking at the whole geog cohort,
but i think that i could have done so much more,
however, considering all the shit that was going on during the week of exams,
i think i really did my best.
studying for your papers one day before,
a few hours before,
the night before,
would render us with extremely low expectations of our grades.
so yea,
so far, my grades have only served as a greater impetus for the fruition of my dream to be the leeeeeekongchianscholar!
=D or just getting my butt into SMU business.
it's the A levels that count, people!
so if you didn't perform as to your normal standard, fret not! (:
your present grades aren't representative of your future grades.
so put in more effort, change your studying methods or whatever you deem will be more effective
and may you reap the fruits of your labour! *BIG HUG.
cause dreams do come true..

=) i'm running along for dinnnner now!
then off to maths and physics for the night.
love you all. :D

gerald lim is gorgeous.

2008-06-29T00:57:00.002+08:00

HAHAHAHHAA. omg,

and..
she'd start sleeping again.

hobbies: sleeping in coffee bean.
HAHAHAHA.

2008-06-26T23:11:00.003+08:00

HAHAHHA, HEY DARLINGS.
OKAY.
I'VE LIKE ONE MILLION AND ONE THINGS TO BLOG ABOUT SINCE MY PAPERS ARE FINALLYYYY OVEERRRRR. :DDDDDDD
post-exam blogpost #1 post-exams
you know,
for the record.
after my feesicks paper today.
it was a superbly less-than-melodramatic end.
everyone was like hi-fiving, and shouting.
either that, or grumbling about quantum, or that 6 mark question which i only filled up with like 3 sentences? (*mumbles, they frigging gave like 10++ lines?! for explaining the motion of a car up a slope, yea. go figure)
and guess what i did.
i sat relatively quiet and still.
and i was like, sitting, almost waiting for something to burst in front of my face to tell me that the exams are finally over.
nothing happened, and i just walked out of the hall,
feeling exactly how i felt when i stepped in before the paper.
i must be mad.
flippin' mad.

/by the way, just a random, funny thought. in the midst of studying for jcts. (june common tests), i came up with another meaning for jcts. Just Cannot Tahan. :DD hahhahahaha. like what the sugar.

PEEKTURES :D

SO I WAS DAMN RELAXED AFTER THE EXAMS.
not superbly but at least, relaxed.
until i had HAD to see this.
okay, great.
this is my following routine:
Mondays: 4.40pm
Tuesdays: 5.00pm (used to be 11.40am)
Wednesdays: STILL THE SAME AT 12.30 (thank heavens)
Thursdays: 5.40pm (used to be 3.00pm)
Fridays: 4.00pm (used to be 3.00pm)

ah well, come 22/07, let's start mugging in school together. (:
small sacrifices for the next four months,
just means steps closer to our dreams.
and for myself, that's being a lee kong chian scholar.

(but.. butt... MY TUESDAYSSS. ='( )

the post-its that got me through low low points. (:

hahhaha, some of you wanted to see my file collection right?! there you go. :D
i pride myself with organization.
seriously, it makes revision so much faster minus the frustration of searching for random worksheets dated like way back. (:
start now people!
or you can hire my servicesss, hahahaha. (:
$1 per worksheeett! hahahaha!
-.-

post-physics.
hahahaa. (:

So after physics today, chun han and i waited for p is for pearlyn (:
I wanted to head to tamp mall, and p is for pearlyn decided to tag along albeit her having her H1 maths paper tomorrow morning, which she hadnt touched. hahahahahaha, omg, and that's not her strongest subject either.
but yea, she ended up studying from like 9pm to like 10.30pm. her efficiency is something i've got to learn from her. hahaha. (:
but it's been rubbing off me, finishing like the physics jct syllabus less quantum (cause i refused to absorb 30pages lastminute) from 3pm on wed and thursday morning. haha, but like i said. reading doesnt constitute to the ability of solving the questions. HAHAHA. but i'm starting to understand physics better. that's a good sign, i hope. hahaha.

So we went to toys'r us after i cant find any notebooks to buy. yes, i controlled my compulsive behaviour. hahaa.
went to the capsule machines.
it's effing addictive, may i repeat.
we spent like twelve bucks on it. hahahahaha.
like we wanted the tinkerbell version for the keychain below which is this diy thing. they gave you this liquid which you drop into the little grooves and it'd harden to form crystal-like forms =D darn pretty laa. anyway,
1st try: STITCH
2nd try: POOH BEAR
3rd try:... stitch. -.-
4th try: STITCH. HAHAHAHAH OMG LA.
so i was coerced into taking one of the stiches. hahaa. okay, pun.

AND I GOT THE CINAMONAROLLLALAEEEA (dont know how to spell) watch i wanted. :DDD
it's like frigging 2 bucks and it's darn adorable!! (:
lucky pieces of muffins we are. hahaha, for the watch, at least.

you know what.
i feel like reading my hypo testing tonight.
cause i didnt understand it before the jcts.
and i feel like learning it now.
okay, i think the studying got into my head.

MORE POSTS SOON. :DDDD
love you all. (:

2008-06-26T10:01:00.002+08:00

2008-06-25T12:10:00.002+08:00

top 10 random musings. (:

#1 sometimes, it's better for you to walk away, no matter how difficult it is. a moment of weakness, another week of hell. so just do it.

#2 sleep is essential, it took me 18 years and 1 paper to find out. (: and yes, i've been sleeping before midnight for the past few days, i've been a good girl.

#3 at the end of the day, when all comes to pass. your family is what you've left, run back into their arms.

#4 Momento Mori. Remember you'd die one day in Latin.

#5 the exams, bring out the best and worst in you, no matter what detractors like to prove otherwise.

#6 whoever said that if you dont help yourself, no one can, is insane. i'd have never gotten through the papers so far without all the support i've had. from my family, from shaikha and safirah, the best friends i could ever have, from p is for pearlyn, my lil sis and so many others. they helped me, when my mind and willpower refused to help myself. i love you.

#7 the more you want to push something out of your mind, the harder and faster it comes back to you. in your dreams, in your daily thoughts. it's that frustrating. distract yourself.

#8 dancing with my hair let down, lights off and music tranfing through the room.

causes many bumps and bruises. hahahaha.

#9 the thing about love. you tell yourself after you've hurt yourself, you're never going to open up to get hurt again. but the thing is, you dont ever control your feelings. you let it flow, and you just fall. that's why it's called falling in love.

no, i'm not in love.

#10 i miss having a sibling around, very very much.

won't you come back home.

FEESICKS LEFT.
ONE LAST PAPER.
RAHHHH.

2008-06-23T19:10:00.002+08:00

THREE MORE PAPERS.

i almost blanked out in mummy's car today morning.
and when i was in the toilet after the paper.
gahh,

after maths paper is over, sleep sleep sleep sleep.
(:
thanks to sammy for the <3 card and friendship band,

oh. and after thursday (the day of liberalization),
i'm planning to stay over with p is for pearlyn to tuition her maths.
HAHAA for her maths paper the next day,

yay, you owe me you tiao.

hahahha.

2008-06-19T16:38:00.004+08:00

OKAY.
i'm not supposed to be here.
hey, but maybe you arent supposed to be here tooo...
hahahaha, unless you're not a jaycee kiddo,
and you dont have jcts/terms/block tests/mid-terms.
(which makes me extremely jealous of you, if i might say)

ANYWAY,
my friend needed a doc that can only be found in my macbook, so out it came,
and since my phy geog paper ended today. (yes, it was hellova orgasmic paper)
i decided to take a break for a little while,
get lost in the world of the fast-paced techno-connections.
After talking to p is for pearlyn about absolut colours and how she decided that sept 3rd =O was a good day for me to give away a bottle. hahaha, we wonder why.
i saw the campaign video,
and i just realised that the rainbow part, is a bottle SKIN.
and when you open the cap, the vodka GLASS BOTTLE is inside.
ahhh. (: so pretty.
ANYONE GOING DFS,
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE x 2104341412414
tell me =(
shit, i'm becoming absolutly-addictud.

check out the wallpaper you can download from the website! (: awesome isnt it?
looks good on my macbook. hahaa, it's like the whole laptop's a piece of cloud since its already white, with a small rainbow in the middle. (:
P IS FOR PEARLYN: go download, then our macbooks will be twins man. your macbook can be called pans, and mine, tees.
PANSTEES. hahahahaha. omggwg. (insider joke:D)

anyway, she's coming over for an econs mugging session tomorrow at my house. (:
i swear i get a high from reading econs.
*imagines the groans of many.
OKAY.
let me tell you a secret.
i secretly love showertimes now. :D

THANKS TO BODYSHOP STRAWBERRY POLISH, I SMELL LIKE SACCHARINE-SUGARED STRAWBERRIES WITH WHIP CREAM AND JAM.
(: TRY IT PEOPLEEEE.
AND BTW: I STILL CANT MAKE MY DILMAH CARAMEL ICED TEA RIGHT =((
someone help!

off to conquer my final five papers,
oh yes, nova seth.

2008-06-16T23:05:00.002+08:00

Somnambulist - Small Sails

I got the song off an Absolut ad. (:
I'm loving it,
cause it calms me.

loving this bottle.
and even if my darling pearlyn can't drink yet.
I'm sure she'd jump in delight,
because of the rainbow stripes.
you know they say,
Alcohol is the anesthesia by which we endure the operation of life.
I can't agree more.

2 days to my first paper,
i'm going to do this.
I can, I will, I must.
good luck to jc kiddos who're going through this phase of sacrificing your hols for your terms.
some things are worth sacrificing,
some things arent,
and your terms are def not worth the sacrifice.

let's get this on, ;)

Rihanna - Rehab

Rehab - Rihanna

Baby Baby
When we first met, I never felt something so strong
You were like my lover and my best friend
All wrapped into one with a ribbon on it
And all of a sudden you went and left
I didn't know how to follow
It's like a shock that spun me around
And now my heart's dead
I feel so empty and hollow

And I'll never give myself to another the way I gave it to ya (to ya)
Don't even recognize the ways you hurt me, do ya (do ya)?
It's gonna take a miracle to bring me back
And you are the one to blame
And now I feel like - ooh!

You're the reason why I'm thinking
I don't wanna smoke on these cigarettes no more
I guess that's what i get for wishful thinking
Should've never let you enter my door
Next time you wanna go on and leave
I should just let you go on and do it
'Cause now I'm using like I bleed

It's like I checked in to rehab
And baby, you're my disease
It's like I checked in to rehab
And baby, you're my disease
I've gotta check in to rehab
'Cause baby you're my disease
I've gotta check in to rehab
'Cause baby you're my disease

Damn, ain't it crazy when you're loveswept
You'd do anything for the one you love
Cause anytime that you needed me, I'd be there
Its like you were my favorite drug
The only problem was that you was using me
In a different way that I was using you
But now that I know that it's not meant to be
You gotta go, I gotta wean myself off of you

And I'll never give myself to another the way I gave it to ya (to ya)
Don't even recognize the ways you hurt me, do ya?
It's gonna take a miracle to bring me back
And you are the one to blame
Cause now I feel like - ooh!

You're the reason why I'm thinking
I don't wanna smoke on these cigarettes no more
I guess that's what i get for wishful thinking
Should've never let you enter my door
Next time you wanna go on and leave
I should just let you go on and do it
'Cause now I'm using like I bleed

It's like I checked in to rehab
And baby, you're my disease
It's like I checked in to rehab
And baby, you're my disease
I've gotta check in to rehab
'Cause baby you're my disease
I've gotta check in to rehab
'Cause baby you're my disease

Oh - Oh
Now ladies gimme that..
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh-Oh
Oh Oh Ouh Oh
Now gimme that
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh-Oh
Oh Oh Ouh Oh
Now ladies gimme that..
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh-Oh
Oh Oh Ouh Oh
Now gimme that
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh-Oh
Oh Oh Ouh Oh

Oh

You're the reason why I'm thinking
I don't wanna smoke on these cigarettes no more
I guess that's what i get for wishful thinking
Should've never let you enter my door
Next time you wanna go on and leave
I should just let you go on and do it
'Cause now I'm using like I bleed

It's like I checked in to rehab
And baby, you're my disease
It's like I checked in to rehab
And baby, you're my disease
I've gotta check in to rehab
'Cause baby you're my disease
I've gotta check in to rehab
'Cause baby you're my disease

hey pretty pink pills.
no, they're not the pink pills girls pop during the time of the month.
they're the eat-two-twice-daily-&-kill-angel-because-she-hates-pills.
D:
you've got to admit though, it's a pretty peekture.
hahaa, not a pretty sight for the consumer though.
promised mommo to finish my course this time,
otherwise even before the doktor tries to kill me,
i'd have died.

haha.

Not moving on from my not-so-subtle crush on Agyness Deyn,
I'm totally in <3 with House of Holland all over again.
And i just realised Henry Holland is hot stuff.
Something tells me he's just gay..
oh man.

He totally handmade her oversized tee. :D she's his muse, he's her designer, and they're best friends. isn't that just sweet. :D

ANYWAY. remember i mentioned about having a rebirth? Well, a rebirth comes with a new name too. (:
and Nova Seth it shall be.

hello, i'm Nova Seth. =)

i don't know about you, haha, but i'm loving it.
by the way, i was fooling around with thinking about what i would have on my HoH tee.
and here's what Nova Seth reckons. hahaa.

I used power point presentation, so i couldnt fool around with colours too much, no fill tool and what shit in the tee.
hahaha, so b&w the template it is! :D

i kind of like it. (: henry holland would beautify it fo' sure though! hahahahaa.

Alright sweethearts:D
HAVE A FANTASTIC WEEK.
cause the geek in nova seth's coming out.

As I was watching teevo today, I caught the advertorials for olympics08, and a quote caught my eye, my heart, my mind. And from that moment, I knew my life would be different.

I thought i'd share it with you all, with a glint of hope that maybe it can bring you inspiration and the passion to chase your dreams, no matter what they may be. And if even only one of you out there reading this is inspired after reading this quote, i've done my job. (: Thank you James Allen, Channel 5(for that advert) :D

BY THE WAY, THANKS TO ADAM AND HIS FACEBOOK WALL POST. :l my mind was totally at another timbuctoo island the whole day, especially on the trip back home on the mrt. I was literally writing numbers in the air. (: and i though, YES, i must share it with all my lovely readers, MUAHAHAHAH. so you all can have a headache toooo. hahaha. :D BUT GUESS WHAT. i dont have a headache anymore!!! because my awesome little sister, PEARRRLLYN, enlightened me. :D but i aint telling anyone the secret. hahahaha, HAVE FUN!!!!

DISCLAIMER: PLEASE DO NOT. DO NOTTTTT READ THIS BEFORE YOU SLEEP, UNLESS YOU'RE THOSE TYPE OF PEOPLE WHO CAN JUST DON'T BOTHER ABOUT THINKING. :D DONT SAY I DIDNT FRIGGING WARN YOU. hahaha.

I LOVE LIBRARY@ESPLANADE and the esplanade art cafe is the bomb. :l PEOPLE: PLEASE GO TRY DILMAH CARAMEL TEA. GO GO GO GO GO. if it's not the best tea you've ever tested, i'd give you.... one star. :D you obtain five stars, i give you one sachet of dilmah... CARAMEL TEA. hahahahahhahahahaa.

I was contemplating on writing this post, i really was.
I was afraid, because when I make a decision to show a side of me on mink&moe,
I've made a decision to put that side of me out to be judged.
But this time around,
i reckon, i'd use what my blog was meant for in the first place.
And that is, to be who i really am.
My emotions, my thoughts, my feelings.
And to you, my reader, out there.
hello. (:

Been under the attack of the fever/migraine bug these few days. 3 migraines in 24 hours is no joke. The ice pack melted so fast, that it made me realise i should have gotten two instead. haha, one to freeze whilst i use the other one on my forehead. :D well, i'm alive and kicking, thanks to panadol extra, my dearest family, best friends, shaikha, chun han, brother, darchu, william, secondary school senior, gene, yuehan, shawn and marc. These few days, i came to a realisation that without my family and friends, i'd never be who i really am. And it's not the amount of friends i have, it's the number of friends i have who let me be who i am without ever judging me that really matters. So, i thank those that have helped me through this very "hot" period of my life, what will i do without you guys?

Tough nights, I never do like them. I've a quirky sleeping habit too, and sometimes, I get none. I was afraid of another one, so I went down to my father whilst he was praying downstairs last night. I told him I loved him, and I was sorry, for the times i made his angry. And ever since the breakup with ken when i was 14, i started crying in his arms. As he held me tight, and rubbed my shoulder, i felt my heavy heart resting, i felt all the love in the world. And then, we spent hours through the night, talking about what i would have brushed away through the hustle and bustle of my life. In my heart, I know I'd always be my daddy's girl. and mummy's girl too. (haha, mum! don't get jealous! (:)

And then, fever through the night. The fever and incessant migraines absorbs your soul, drains your energy, sucks out all the strength you dont even have to begin with. But angels come in different forms, and my brother, prince william (haha, i call him PRINCE william cause william is such a prince-y name) was there, to see me through the night. He gave a calm to the turbulence within me, and i hate him because he's getting a bottega wallet today. (roars and rolls over) :D yeah laaa, happy happy laaa, happy BROWN WEAVED so-beautiful WALLET. (which i'm so going to steal) please buy me my bacon&cheese takopachi with your 2000 dollar taka voucher too! hahaha.

grr. lucky william. (:

If you're my close friend, you probably have this experience with me whereby i ask you to choose a colour between two, yes or no, 1 or 2, 2 or 3 (um, you get it). This time around, i've made a decision with my ever-so indecisive self without doing so. You realise after awhile, when you've given too much of yourself, and you try so hard to make it right, you crumble. And maybe it's time for you to take a few steps back, because you're as much a human as everyone else. It's not that you don't care anymore, it's more like you cared too much, and that maybe you need that care too, that care you've been longing for. It may hurt, i know it still hurts, but you have to be strong, because millions out there have more reason to be shedding those tears that you are shedding. so, a rebirth is what you need. with your parents, your strong pillars of support, new motivations, and here's to a new Angelina. (:

YAY. okay, i hope you've not fallen asleep. :O because THIS BABE's my new inspiration. Agyness Deyn. ;) the hottest british model of the mo, whom i fell in love with ever since i first saw her on burberry! She shall be my source of motivation to strive for clear skin and to downsize :D Yes, MORE SLEEP, MORE WATER, MORE FRUITS AND VEGE-TABLES-CHAIRS-ANDSOFAS. hahahaa. (: LESS SWEET STUFF/OILYSTUFF/SALTYSODIUM-FILLED STUFF. here's to the new Angelina that's going to be such a bomb! :D (that goes tick tock tick tock... ehh. :l)

OKAY. (:
LOVE YOU GUYS.
I HAD BETTER LEAVE FOR CAMP NOW.
slept in because my fever was still running high.
but i need to be there.
(:
TATA (sauce. :O)
and have the greatest week aheaddd! :D

you don't need strength in letting go, you need understanding.

2008-06-01T17:53:00.003+08:00

And then, this utterly cute bunny caught our eye :D

to know we'd be so far apart;
i love you too much to make you stay.
Baby, fly away.

I just had to share this divine gown with you all. (:
I chanced upon it while searching for inspirations for a masquerade mask design for the upcoming biannual Mardi Gras that's going to take place less than a fortnight away! :D

it took my breath away.
I wonder, do angels look like her? (: haha.

2008-05-06T19:19:00.003+08:00

HAPPY EIGHT HUNDRED VIEWS MINK&MOE :D

I'm so so sorry for the lack of posts. :( everyone's been biting me about the blatant vacancy of mink&moe.
hahaha, at least for those who do read. :D
Anyway, things been really hectic.
And I reckon, I'm going to come back to blog after my shower. ahem, to those who knows my fervent habit of getting into the shower only after 2 hours have passed since my proclamation of "IMMA SHOWER", i'm REALLY going to shower now. :D
haha.

BY THE WAY, have you seen Madonna's new mtv, 4 minutes to save the world? It really gets me in the mood to hit the dance floor. at what.. 48? 49? man, her body's to die for albeit the surgical enhancements. hey, you actually need beauty to enhance it right? Besides Justin who obviously serves as a mojo treat, another drool-worthy sight was the adornment of McQueen's Laced up Boots by Madonna, which is love, love, love. At first glance, it looked very balenciaga-esque, but when i saw that metal toe cap, McQueen it had to be. ;)

Madonna ft. Justin Timberlake - 4 Minutes

she's one hot sexy mama.

LOVE.

2008-04-17T22:54:00.002+08:00

HEY LOVES.
okay i've had 39341 complains with regards to the lack of updates! sweethearts, it's been five days. *slitty-eyed face
hahaha, but not to fear, Angel's here. :D (pardon the corny ryhme. hahaa.)

okay, let me start with updating on PEE-DOUBLE-YOU. (pw aka project work/pointless work)
SO, results came out on Friday the 11th.
Take this scenario:
1) Night before, pw didn't even cross my mind once.
2) On the day itself, subtly forced myself to feel the worry that everyone's feeling. Conformity doesn't always work, so they say. Angel remains very much-so composed.

I wonder if it was the evil sense of over-confidence that I might get the best possible grade, or was it just the reluctance of the mind to accept anything other than that grade? The former I hope not, the latter probably. In context, my dream college was VJC. i told myself then, i'd never go to tjc, but i let myself into the mentality that ooh, if i dont get into vjc, there's always tjc. there you go, and here i am

3) 20 minutes before results are released. I blast into a flurry of inner travesty and panic. All thoughts of hydrology in physical geography lesson came to a halt. My pulse hasten, my mind raced. One year of work - what if it came to naught? So they say, the mind is one's worst enemy.

4) Entering the hall, we settle down in our linear arrangement of classes. (sappy pw pictures during pilot day were flashed on screen must to the delight/dismay to the students) Hwee Geok, Rachoo and I held hands. I swear my palm pespired.. hahaha. :) Hang on.. why were the cameramen and reporters here?

5) The basis of our fear? TJC was never known to be strong in pw, relative to HCI and RJC and our fellow top five-rs in academic capabilities. In 2006, TJC "boasted" about 7% distinctions. That means the probability of seeing Mr Veera without a bottle of coke in his hands will actually be higher than bumping into someone with an A. Compounded with my knowledge of the emphasis placed by SMU on pw, since it's a representation of your teamwork/leadership abilities, my knees have every right to grow weak.. haha.

6) So they showed the statistics! and the rumour realised. around 87% of tjcians attained a distinction in project work. Mind you, that's a more than a 10-fold increase. After Ms Ying relished in her honour and well-deserved pride, they then showed the classes who attained distinctions all round. There were 13 in total. I told Chun Han, cancelling the TA classes, hmmm, there's still hope for us.. hahaha!

7) 20/07 (followed by cheers)..... 21/07 (followed by greater cheers) here's when our hearts literally stopped..,
TWENTYTWO O' SEVEN.

8) Tears streamed down my face. It's something to get an A, but it's that meaningful when you achieve success as a class. :)
Happiness soared within me. My first A!! One down, five more to go. :DDD WELL DONE 22/07! love you guys.

But this A is not mine alone. Here's thanks going out to:

1) MUMMY AND DADDY

For if it weren't for mummy, Sir John Harrington wouldnt even be in the picture. :) Thanks mummy for sparking the idea even if it was initially a joke made at me, you're a genius, you really are. Thanks to daddy for being my pillar of strength. :) I love you both a million donuts.

2) TJ104: Alethea, Aston, Hwee Geok and Karan.

We weren't the perfect group, but it's out imperfections that makes the perfection of success ever sweeter. I thank you for all the times you guys stood by each other. The experience, is definitely once-in-a-lifetime. :D (cause no one can pay me enough to go through the shit again!!! hahahhaa) we did it :)

3) Ms Ying Min

Through your harsh exterior, I actually love your sacarsm, your thought processes and your want-it-get-it attitude. :) more than a teacher, you were my impetus, my inspiration. Thank you so much for believing in us. All those nights marking pi's, written reports (the 3000-word horrors)... you're much apreciated.

4) Ethan Koh

"Je Cherche Un Homme"

Those nights/mornings.
Those calming words through my frustration.

Especially
when my script got deleted from my comp the night before op.
you were always there on the other line.
Thank you my angel.
my stronghold,
the keeper of my sanity.

5) Nan Xiao/Chun Han/Shaikha/Safirah :D

Hey dearies. you guys earned the medal for being the best recipients of all my tears and complains and woes during the course of my pw!! :D hahaha, thanks for all the times you just stood in awe while i cried, complained and just vented my frustration. your companion, and patience is more than i could have asked for. Especially going out to Nan Xiao. :) All those times, I wouldn't know what it'd be like without you by my side.

6) EVERYONE WHO'VE PLAYED A PART(:
i love you,
nuff' said.

UPDATE TWO on girlsdayout tomorrow :D loadssss of peeeektures!
LOVE.

2008-04-12T00:31:00.009+08:00

Hence or therefore, here's another short update! :D

All you wanted - By Michelle Branch
Introduced by the very in-my-terms modelesque Rachel (:

Current play count: 119 for the past two days! haha.

It makes me feel as though everything's going to be alright,
with you here by my side.
Enwarped in your warm embrace,
as i caress the morning rays on your face.
-just some random musings evoked in me when i listen to the song. (:

ALRIGHT. i know i'm supposed to blog about today and pw (: but i'm really washed out! I'd be here tomorrow again. (:

LOVE YOU BANANANAS :D

-------------------
even at fouram, i'd be there, girl, to let you know that, there's never a moment i'd let you be alone;
love you babe.

For without her, nothing would be the same.

LOVE.

2008-04-07T21:31:00.004+08:00

HI TO THE MOST HECTIC WEEK EVER, that's practically left me stone cold in a corner.

(p.s thanks for the shot, (:)

I wanted to upload loads of peektures, haha, but i'm tight for time tonight. Just settled down from tennis session, horribly exhausted. But my tasks list is beckoning me for attention.. :(

I shan't depress you with the details of my week. And i think by typing out my schedule, it's going to validate me of the hell i'm going through, and that's going to depress me further! hahaha.
nuuuuu!
I shall be optimistic!

For Tao Tsing once said,
If your goal seems unattainable. Don't change your goals. Instead, change the path leading to it.

HI TO THE WEEK OF HIGH PRODUCTIVITY AND FOCUS.
(:

LOVE.

2008-04-06T18:32:00.003+08:00

SAY HI TO THE NEW GEEK :D (ahem.. SEXY geek :D hahahaaaa.)

I was gooply excited to collect my new emporio armani's. (: fitted them, and boy do they feel good.. haha. I don't really think I'm good with specs though, cause no matter where I get them from, or however correct the degree is (or they claim it is), I still get dizzy spells so I can't wear them often. (:

Off to shower now, be back later! XD

LOVE.

2008-04-05T07:45:00.004+08:00

A very good morning my darlings (: It's SATURDAY MORNING. beautiful day isn't it? haha.
Being so drained yesterday, I went to take a nap at around 0645pm, only to wake up at 1054 to go to the toilet. Since I was already in the bathroom, took the chance to brush my pearlies! I love fresh breaths. Was contemplating on waking up to do some work, but the next thing i knew, i was sprawled all over my bed once more. (: haha, i'm such a lazy bum.
So, I woke up at 0645am!! FIRST TIME ON A SATURDAY MORNING. My good pals would know that I'm not a morning person. (: I'm a nightie. But I hopped out of bed (not even dragging! :D) and cooked some scrambled eggs for breakfast.
Going to be a long day today, attempting to shorten my "58-tasks long to-do-list".
But before that, here's one of my all time favourite songs.
He used to wake me up on Sunday mornings with this song, (: and it'd leave a bitter morning all cheerful while i cuddle amidst the chilly sheets and touseled hair.
Enjoy! :D

SUNDAY MORNING
by Maroon 5

Sunday morning rain is falling
Steal some covers share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in

But things just get so crazy
Living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road
Get up and go if I knew
That someday it would lead me back to you
That someday it would lead me back to you

That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave

Fingers trace your every outline
Paint a picture with my hands
And back and forth we sway
Like branches in a storm
Change of weather
Still together when it ends
That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
And I never want to leave

But things just get so crazy
Living life gets hard to do
Sunday morning rain is falling
And I'm calling out to you
Singing someday it will bring me back to you
Find a way to bring myself back home to you

You may not know
That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on Sunday morning
Driving slow, yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah
Oh yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah
Oh yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah
Oh yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah

There's a flower in your hair
I'm a flower in your hair

Oh yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah
Oh yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah
Whoa, yeah

(: i miss the fresh, crisp air of turkey in the morning and the great company.

MINK & MOE: WAVES. (:

2008-04-03T22:57:00.000+08:00

haha, okay, here's my resounding answer to all the woeful calls of my darlings to start updating! (: i'm here, i'm here!

HAHA, okay, so we were bored after geog ended, and since i didnt feel like disturbing the guitar sectionals going on in close approximity to the cannot-make-it piano, chun han, me and nan xiao went to have fun with this model of a globe that was on the atrium!! whee.

DISCLAIMER: we're truly sorry.. okay, at least i know i am, if you, yes you! are the proud maker of the super delicious globe :D no harm intended really! (:

Chun Han suddenly asked me to stand on the tables in front of the stage.. and i was like.. NOOO. haha, the tables were darn high and were strategically right smack in the middle of human traffic. Especially since this was BEFORE i found out what she was up to ((: haahaha. turns out she was being the smartee that she always is! :D hahaha! she wanted to take an illusion picture of me standing on the globe!!! (: SO after i realised, i was like hahahha, okay let's do it! So i got on this really shaky chair (with fingers crossed!) and like buckled my knee and did the twist sign to look awkwardly hilarious... ahem, did it work?? :D

okay, the "a" is not a proclaimation of the initial of my name! but was part of the word "earth" that was supposed to be on it. (: haha.

i swear my memories of tjc will not be the same without the both of you (: love you girls. you rock my minks and moes. haha.

okay! i shall run along.. shower fairy's calling me! :D
p.s gym session was goosh! (:

love.
