“There is something demoralizing about watching two people get more and more crazy about each other, especially when you are the only extra person in the room. It's like watching Paris from an express caboose heading in the opposite direction--every second the city gets smaller and smaller, only you feel it's really you getting smaller and smaller and lonelier and lonelier, rushing away from all those lights and excitement at about a million miles an hour.” 


-Sylvia Plath




Do you know this feeling? 
You know, when you lie in bed, it's 2am. You can't sleep. You wonder about a lot of things, like how you can make things better, or run through the day's occurrences and wonder about what you could have done. You wonder if things could have been different if your particular course of action had been radically different.


& then you feel inexplicably sad.


You feel empty, but you wouldn't call it loneliness. Because you figured that you can't be lonely if you've always been leading a pretty solitary life, save for your friends & family (& you like it). Since you can't make a comparison to how it feels like to be intricately connected to somebody, you can't confirm that this feeling is really called "loneliness". It would just be a sad-ish kind of feeling, & you wonder why is it so. 


You wonder if it's you, or is it really people in general. Then you wonder if things could have been different if you were like this particular person, if you have acted or looked a certain way, it would matter. Your pride tells you that you're too good to be somebody else but yourself. 


It's always confusing.


Then you decide that you would not give a fuck (and you should not give a fuck).


So you fall asleep.








Does this happens to you? Or maybe it's just me.


I think it's just me.


I need to sleep. & stop being ridiculous.


Goodnight.

In 2011,

I've learnt to be careless, and callous. I've finally learnt that the small things don't really matter sometimes. I've gotten more cynical. & I've kinda destroyed many of the ideals I've long held. I used to be a walking mass of contradictions. I'm still like that sometimes, but I think I'm more clear with certain things now.

I've also learnt to be selfish, thick-skinned, unassuming, reckless and responsible all at the same time. I've learnt that the root of all disappointments is expectations and expectations can really get you nowhere. All it does to you is leave you feeling like complete shit. Being nice all the time gets you nowhere either. You have to be a bitch sometimes to win so I'm working on that, building a callous bitch as one of my alter egos.

Nothing is permanent, everything is temporary. 

(Even this bout of strange sadness that I've been having at night when I'm in bed and feeling slightly insomniac. Maybe I'm thinking too much. Maybe I'm just having too little sleep.)

I'm definitely not the same person I was in 2011. I like to say I've gotten less naive over the year. I hope I'm a better person now but I could just be getting worse, that's hard to say. 

Sometimes I'm disappointed with myself because I still say shit and run my mouth and get people around me hurt. & I'm still selfish and self-centered (something that seems to be getting worse). I'm too proud for my own good, I think too much and I'm too controlling. 

I want to get better this year.

Hello 2012, what do you have in store for me?

LEPAK

FINALLY GET TO LEPAK AT HOME AFTER ALMOST THREE WEEKS OF NON-STOP QUIZZES, PROJECTS & VARIOUS ACTIVITIES.

"I feel infinite."

Photobucket

Just finished reading this & I have this overwhelming urge to just......write something. Most of you have probably heard of this book. & this book has some of the best quotes ever that I can bet to you everyone has probably heard of at least once.

"And in that moment, I swear we were infinite."-Stephen Chbosky

&

"She wasn't bitter. She was sad, though. But it was a hopeful kind of sad. The kind of sad that just takes time."-Stephen Chbosky

Honestly, this book was a surprise, the first 30 pages were just weird. I almost didn't feel like reading it. & the way it's written, it was awkward, weird and confusing. But somehow, it just keeps getting better and better. & I can see to put the book down by the time I am about halfway through. I don't know the reason why but partly because you just wanna know what happens (although his life is kind of strange & fucked up) but there's just something so relatable in all his awkwardness and strange tendencies.

The way he felt for so many things is exactly the awkward, semi-naive part of me totally understand and relate to. Being a teenager isn't exactly tough but there's just so many thing written in this book that explains clearly and simply exactly how each one of us may feel now and then. Insecurities, friendships, first love and crushes...... I can't really put what I feel now about the book in words here but I just want to quote a passage from the book that I want to constantly remind myself every now and then when I kind of "lose my way".

"So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them."

HELLO AFTER SO LONG.

"What would you do if you weren't afraid?"

What a long, long, looooooooooong absence. I still wonder if anybody even bother reading this space. Too much has happened in the span of 1.5 months.

• School has started officially & half a semester has gone by.
• I said goodbye to some of my friends who has left our sunny little island to elsewhere to begin a new chapter of their life.
• I've taken up a challenge & I'm really excited to see how it would be like.

I need somewhere to vent. 

The past 1.5 months has been a whirl. School has been alright. Hectic for the past few weeks because I had to complete my numerous readings for Asian Horror Film, Astrology and Communication core modules.
I had to practice French diligently (Je parle un peu Français!) to make sure that I really grasp the language well.
& I had to complete a news article for my Media Writing course.
My recess week has unofficially started so I'm finally getting a breather from all the university stuff I had to get used to! But university life has been awesome!
Can feel myself getting fat from eating so much HAHA!


So many of my friends are overseas. My primary school friends that I haven't seen in ages are in England now while dear Hanzhe is in Buffalo now.I AM SO ENVIOUS OF THEM!!!!!
Would love to go overseas but because of money constraints and the fact that I am to smart enough for a scholarship, an overseas education seems entirely impossible(other than exchanges).

Sometimes I feel a little....inadequate because all of them are in these foreign countries, enjoying a whole new lifestyle. Seeing new things, meeting new people and entirely immersing themselves in a whole new culture.
I want myself to be doing that soon.




Currently working on a super exciting project now with a few friends. Will not be disclosing much details but I'm so glad that I agreed to do this. Even though we have so much to accomplished in such a short time (making everything seem so daunting!!!!!) , I'm sure we can pull through!
I like this feeling of being busy. Of having many deadlines to meet and having to keep thinking of fresh new ideas to make things work. I hope whatever I do will have positive results. & even if it doesn't, it will be a good learning experience, definitely.

SEEING THEM TMR AT F1 WITH BECCA!

WE WE WE WE SO EXCITED!^^

July, you were AWESOMMMME!

photos all credited to the kickass seniors who took them!

Gambinooooooo!!!!!!!
2nd week of July kicked off with my 5-day WKWSCIFOC which comprises of:

• 'Cleanest' dirty games. Soap and paint is the dirtiest it gets B)
• Sleeping in a pavillion along Siloso beach like a hobo & experiencing what seems like a typhoon in the middle of the night.
• Crazy beach games  from morning to evening. Sand abrasion is a bitch.
• HTHT
• Rebecca Black. Stingray. Giraffe. Justin Biebz. Lee Kuan Yew. Yam Ah Mee. Hello Panda
• WO YAO KAN DAO WO DE LIAN! WO YAO KAN DAO WO DE LIAN! WO YAO KAN DAO WO DE LIAN! WO YAO KAN DAO WO DE LIAN! WO YAO KAN DAO WO DE LIAN! WO YAO KAN DAO WO DE LIAN! WO YAO KAN DAO WO DE LIAN! 
• Amazing race that includes singing a national day song in an MRT, visa dance along Dhoby Gaut, taking the pledge in an MRT Station & lots of running and digging.
• DRAMARAMARAMARAMA
• being in a pool from 1pm-5pm.
• LUCK > SKILL
• Schools always look scarier at night. (Especially if there are ghosts out to scare you shitless!)
• Sunburnt beyong recognition
• hilarious skits
• sleazy songs. (DO YOUR BALLS HANG LOW? DO THEY JIGGLE TO & FRO?)

Seriously the most physically intense activity that I've done in the past year. So much running, swimming, shouting, shouting, shouting, shouting, digging & coupled with the fact that we only had at most 4hours of sleep per day ( it's already a luxury, but still!). I was beyond exhausted by the time camp is over.
BUT GAMBINIANS ARE WAAAAAYYYYYY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 Plus the past few outings we had were fun!
- Unplugged at Blu Jazz but because it was so crowded, we ditched it & went to shisha hahaha.
-BBQ at Mark's house. Kinect Dance Battle + Rock Band! Reignited my love for video games.
- Zombie Killing Practice A.K.A L4D2 yesterday! Nothing feels as good as blasting off a few zombies' heads. B)

School hasn't started yet but I really really really wished it would be as good as camp & the past few weeks was. Apprehensive about school but really excited :D

Universal Studios With Sihua + HZ.
As usual we talked/gossiped a lot, even while taking rides. Most epic moment was when Sihua & I were on the Canopy Flyer chatting. The ride started & since we were flying backwards, we were chatting happily until it suddenly started swerving around, causing us to scream like banshees. So dizzy at the end of the day but so happy anyway ^^

Happy birthday Melvin!!!!!!!!

Totally last minute present made, filled with embarrassing photos of SOMEBODY in disgusting positions, lots and lots of hot male models with sexy abs & love notes from all of us! Rebecca and I completed half of the Melbook on our bus ride to Holland V & I really almost lost my lunch a few times because of all the bends and dips on that bus ride.

Got fat on XLB buffet steamboat & got even fatter at Scoopz later. B)

July has been awesome BUT AUGUST, PLEASE BE EVEN BETTER!!!!! (SINCE I'M BORN IN THIS MONTH!)

So bad but so so good.

WEHEARTIT

Back to what I call  my "Nasty Lifestyle". Took a hiatus from it in mid June but I'M BACK TO IT AGAIN.
Terrible sleeping patterns, late nights. Mix in work, rushing around giving tuition, excessive use of internet late into the night. I predict myself falling sick again soon.
& the fact I spend too much $$$$$ on what many people may see as a total waste of money. I'm pretty sure I may start regretting it at the end of the month but at least I'm having fun now.

3 or 4 years ago, I didn't see myself actually enjoying such a lifetsyle. In fact, I was pretty sure I condemned it.

HAHA. 

But now that I'm older & I know better, I know that I shouldn't really diss anything until I try it. I also learn over the past few years that I shouldn't ever say "I'll never do....." because so often we end up doing things that we said we'll "NEVER" do & become the kind of people we swore we'll never become. It's the same with me choosing NJC. & also the same with what I've been doing now.

But it's okay.

I forgive my younger self because we were all so young & naive & idiotic & ignorant back then.

My current attitude towards life : 

• Do whatever you want & fuck the rest. (but remember to exercise self-control)
• Try everything.
• Stop over-thinking & dwelling on things that don't even matter.
• Have an open mind & an open heart towards anything.

& well, just be FREE.

WEHEARTIT

Entering university in less than a month. In fact, WKWSCIFOC'11 starts next week.Kinda feeling excited but also slightly nervous cause it's a whole new environment with loads of new people!
Note to self:

1. Be more approachable + friendly
2. Stop being so judgemental.

HAVE A GOOD WEEK AHEAD MY FRIENDS! ^^

ANCIENT ALIENS?

ANCIENT ALIENS?
I've always been this huuuuuuuuuuge nerd. I read encyclopedias for fun when I was a kid. I watch documentaries on cable TV when I'm bored. My ambition when I was a kid was to become an archaeologist! This was before I become obsessed with all things related to fashion, but really, I'm still a geek at ♥.

I'm also a believer of conspiracies.  Like I kinda still think Osama Bin laden is still alive & that it's all a big cover-up by the American Government. Call me delusional/crazy/paranoid..... but I always like the idea of huge conspiracies.

So when I started to watch this series.....
 I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
I've watched so many episodes(up until season 2). That's the most I've watched for ANY series in the past 2 months. I've been having this attention deficit...problem where I can't seem to be interested enough to finish watching ANYTHING. Korean dramas that I used to love to watch all seem draggy to me.I just don't have the interest for any of these dramas anymore.

But ancient aliens is soooooooooo different. Because it's kind of like giving a deduction of what all the ancient text, literature,paintings, landmarks in the world mean. & with their theories, make me rethink about how humans came about.


Essentially, the theory about ancient aliens is that all these "Gods" that all ancient civilisation & religions we worship now are actually aliens.....or extremely intelligent life forms from another planet. These celestial beings (or aliens) are always depicted to be coming down from the Heavens where they teach Man to do certain things that bring about human civilisation & progress. 
It's a similarity in nearly all of the legends/myths/stories that we have from the ancient times. It's fascinating how all the religions in the world today have such a similarity.
I mean why can't Gods & deities from the ancient times be from....under the sea????
Why must all these deities stated in almost all religions & ancient myths be from the Heavens????????


The Ancient Aliens also includes the theory that modern  Homo Sapiens are around because of interbreeding with aliens...or due to genetic engineering on humans by these advanced E.T beings. This kind of explains the Missing Link for humans. 
So far, we do not have enough evidence to conclude that we evolved from Apes. there is still a large chunk of Homo Sapiens' developmental history missing. & somehow, humans' brain size tripled within a span of...a few thousand years & became an intelligent species within a very short time. In terms of Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection (which I briefly studied in SH2), evolution takes many thousands of years & needs many factors to be involved.
So how Homo Sapiens came about is pretty much a big question mark because we evolved so much in such a short time.


I was a skeptic before I started watching the series. But now I believe this. I mean....what's so wrong with believing aliens actually came here. Isn't science all about looking at all the possibilities and asking all the questions & being curios about everything???? Anything in this world is possible. So why not having aliens as ancestors be possible?

If you have actually read through my semi essay. WOW YOU DESERVE A ROUND OF APPLAUSE.
But nonetheless,
GO WATCH THE SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Today isn't just another day. Today I will create something beautiful."

I've been doing a few projects currently. I have finished the shredded-back tee. & I've also finished my spine tee. Upload pictures soon maybe? Currently working on a cheap tote my mum got for me from Bangkok. It will involve loads of felt blood,red threads and needles. Fun stuff.

It's weird how inspired I am lately.Maybe I'm not inspired, I'm just suddenly more proactive and getting my lazy ass moving to doing something.

Every time I D-I-Y, I'll just go into this trance-like stage where nothing else matters other than getting a perfect finished product.
It's therapeutic in a way because I just escape my thoughts & worries. All the rubbish shit that happened would be forgotten when I focus on pulling that seam or sewing the felt.& I also get an awesome finished product to wear/use proudly at the end of the day.

"Atelophobia: The fear of imperfection;of not being enough."

I'm such a perfectionist sometimes. I just drive myself crazy with my pursue of perfection.

Nobody's perfect.That I know. But I want to be as close to perfection as possible. It's tiring. & you know what the worst thing. The thought of never being good enough even though you've tried so hard. But what is your personal standards of being "good enough" anyway. Everyone has different standards for this. & I have a realised that whatever standards of "perfection" I'm always trying to achieve isn't exactly what others may accept/appreciate.

via fifteenlies.tumblr.com

My teacher once explained the concept of "being alone".
There is actually a difference in this concept.
You could be in solitude, where you feel content with being alone. You enjoy doing your own things, being independent and just spending time by yourself thinking, working...
But you could also be lonely. & we all know how that feels.


Sucks that I'm kinda stuck in between.

{Hmmmmmmmmm, I need to clear my mind. To many useless, redundant thoughts. Maybe I should take up meditation. But I can't sit still without falling asleep. Okay, maybe I should just do my D.I.Y Projects. Hmmmmmmm}

Elections 2011.

The elections are over. I think Singaporeans will go back to their normally apathetic selves(ironic isn't it). Well, I am Pro-PAP & being in Tanjong Pagar GRC means I'm forever under PAP. Call me a sheep,follower, whatever but I am perfectly happy with them ruling the GRC. After reading Xueyao's blog post, I got inspired & I have a few things to say.

• I wish Singaporeans weren't so resentful. Yes, the overspending in YOG is an issue that needs investigation on since its taxpayer's money. Housing is getting so expensive, it seems like we can't afford it at this rate. There are so many problems that we as Singaporeans had encountered in these past few years. But is this the reason why we have to vote out a very good minister because we were angry/resentful over such issues?
  Shouldn't you have voted for a change in the future? Voted for the party that will promise you something better, something different which would be beneficial to you?
  If you voted for the above reasons. Good for you. But if you voted blindly for the opposition party because you were angry that the ruling party had done this & this in the past without careful consideration of what the opposition party had to offer, then I had to say. I wish you weren't so reckless because my future could be compromised because of your recklesness & pettiness.
  
• People need to stop supporting opposition parties just because PAP has been "arrogant"/"cocky".
  I agree with what Xueyao had said, if they had done a good job, wouldn't it be natural that they become what people would see as "arrogant". & one thing you cannot deny, PAP has done a good job. We had bounced back so rapidly after the recent financial crisis. In fact, not just the recent one, but also several other crises that we had faced in the past. We have a low crime rate. I can walk on the street without worrying about getting shot in the head. Yes, they had mistakes, but who said anything about them being perfect? & how can they please everybody when they are only human.
  Some of these opposition parties have ridiculous policies that are obviously just words to appeal with the people. But if you implement them, there are so many other numerous factors that come into play that would negate whatever beneficial effect that is supposed to help the people.
  
  -6.50 min wage: It can alleviate the problem of widening income gap. But it will also cause inflation. Now who will suffer the most with inflation?
  -Cutting costs of housing by not carrying out upgrading programmes & not building facilities. LIKE WHAT THE FUCK?!
  - 100B for healthcare using our reserves. Reserves from our healthy surpluses can be used. But they are called reserves for a reason. They are kept to help Singapore when we meet unexpected crises(Like the recent financial crisis). & if you have to cut down GST further, then where will we get money to pay for so many things( Defence, Transport, Education...). Unless you collect more tax... $$$ don't fall from the sky you know.
  
• I hope my generation would grow up. Some of the words & things I see on twitter. It's just...SO SELFISH & NAIVE. I'm not saying I am all mature & giving and everything ( I can be very naive/selfish at times too.) But some of the things I see online... I don't even know what to say. It's sad that we spend so much on education and still have people who think,speak & act like that. I hope that 5years, or 10years later when we all become legal voters. our mindsets would have change for the better. We would all see things in a different point of view & be intelligent voters.
  

End of rant. I think PAP's loss in Aljunied & Hougang may be good in a sense that they would reflect on what they have done. & Worker's Party being one of the most estabilished opposition parties around could mean that they would bring about a positive change to our political landscape. But we have lost an exceptional foreign minister who have done so much to maintain our ties with the other countries & ensuring our national security.

Isn't it our time to reflect too?

"Don't lose who you are,in the blur of the stars"-Jessie J (Who you are)

Girls fall like dominoes - Nicki Minaj

Judas- Lady Gaga

Zombie-istic.
The exact word I would describe myself. I spent the week working like a maniac,clocking in a 9am-9pm shift on one of the days. My hormones are going mental because it's almost the time of the month and my horribly unhealthy lifestyle has given me a rather sore throat & a headache.
I'm almost zombie like. Really. I don't want to talk. All I want to do is sit around listen to crazy,stupid music and shredshredshredshredshred my shirt.
& maybe rap some Nicki Minaj because Rebecca and I are going to have a second rap battle over the song Girls Fall Like Dominoes. (Our first rap battle involved Love The Way You Lie in our tutorial classroom @ NJC during a random free period. Man....those were the good times!)

I bet everyone feels zombieistic like me now. Waking up early, going to work. Returning home with little time for yourself so you just surf the net a little, sleep. Wake up & the cycle repeats.

Truthfully, I kinda hate this.

Yes, I am earning $$$$. (Something my parents cannot be more happy about) But the fact that I'm earning all these $$$$ for me to be able to travel somewhere (Bangkok? Hongkong? Whereever? ) is the only thing that's keeping me from quitting. It's the only thing that motivates me to perservere.

& when it's a particularly bad/slow/boring/dead day (which is like almost every other day), I really feel like giving up. This job/lifestyle isn't bad. But it just lacks excitement. It lacks challenge.

IT'S JUST FUCKING MONOTONOUS.


So I've decided. I'm going to work damn muthafucking hard to get a job that I truly enjoy. There's no way I will spend 30,40,50 years in a dead-end job. 


Now that I have this goal, it's just the problem of me needing to get myself to focus, not procrastinate & not be stupid & retarded and give up whatever opportunities that come my way. I realised that I am someone who is prone to not living up to my expectations, not trying as hard as I can & giving up early for things I THINK may be out of my reach but are actually attainable.


Totally looking forward to my university life.  I hope that I would be better with the start of this new chapter.☺

"Who is your style inspiration and why?" PART UNO

The blog post I had to write about for me to remain in the running for F3 Style Scout since I couldn't attend the event! (God I sound like Tyra Banks in ANTM.)

Truthfully, I'm kinda stumped. Because for me, I don't have just one style inspiration. I get inspiration from everywhere. From the television shows I watched, to the thousands of photographs and editorials scans I see online, to the vintage clothes I find and the music I listen to(2NE1, Lady Gaga,Ke$ha,The Maine). It's hard to pinpoint which is exactly my style inspiration because different people inspire me differently and I dress in different styles depending on my mood. 

HENCE I HAVE DECIDED TO WRITE A 3-PART BLOG POST SERIES ABOUT MY STYLE INSPIRATION(S)!

There's no need to but I'm a crazynut like that. Plus this seems fun & I've been having a writer's blog lately(hence the lack of posts).

SO THE FIRST STYLE INSPIRATION IMMA BLOG ABOUT WILL BE...

*INSERT DRUM ROLL HERE*

KATE LANPHEAR

citizencouture.com

She's practically a celebrity in streetstyle blogs & fashion blogs. Being the style director of Elle USA, she's a fixture in the different fashion weeks. She's famous for her plantinum blonde short hair, shitloads of drool-worthy accessories that she always wear on her hands, & her androgynous outfits that are only in black,white or grey. She has the ability to somehow make rock&roll/grunge look impeccably smart!

Honestly, I worship the ground she walks on.
Out of so many fashion editors, writers, stylists that you see at Fashion Week, I feel that I can relate to her dressing sense. I am a girly girl at heart. I do like my skirts&dresses & lace & all the pink/purple/reds. But I would say that I am rather tomboyish. (This is the part of me my mum absolutely hates)
I love mixing masculine pieces with girly clothesI love some things that may be more masculine than most girls can handle. I  also love the concept of women rocking men's tailoring. Sharp jackets, vests, dress shirts,brogues etc.

 & because I grew up listening to lots of rock music, I have a weakness for crazy studded accessories, leather jackets, skinnies, boots & silver.
Kate Lanphear is exactly like this. She isn't overly girly & is pretty darn androgynous half the time. ( Her hair is obviously an indication) She wears all these rock&roll, grungey pieces but somehow still look polished. 

SHE JUST LOOKS SO EFFORTLESSLY COOL ALL.THE.TIME.

In short, she's such an inspiration to me because she is an example of how I can still remain feminine & be myself without compromising my love for things that may be slightly masculine/grungey/androgynous. & what makes her even more respectable is that she makes it all look so effortless & easy!

Her hair is so fucking awesome. It's short, but edgy, and it always looks sosososo good. I actually save her pictures in my phone and get my hairdresser to cut something similar. This is more like copying than being inspired & my hair is never half as amazing as hers :'( Sad.

CRAZY ACCESSORIES

Stacking & stacking & stacking. My habits of stacking rings and bangles/bracelets are all inspired by her. No joke.

 In her signature all-black looks.
I'm not a big fan of wearing all black because it's really kinda boring. But she layers different textures/accessories together to make all her all-black outfits so interesting. GENIUZ!

& WHEN SHE'S NOT WEARING ALL BLACK.

So when I feel particularly 'Lanphear-ish", I'll stack them up & wear all these!
I LOVE MY  NEW ROUND SHADES+CROSS KNUCKLEDUSTER!

At the end of this post, I've come to realise that she's more of my Style Obsession than Style Inspiration...

Scary how much she influences how I dress.

LOOK OUT FOR PART DEUX OF MY 3PARTSERIES!!!!!
(If I manage to be less lazy/more free/not taking 3 hour naps/not too busy eating/ not working/less absorbed with reading my Fictionpress or fashion blogs to be able to churn out a blog post!)

No promises!
