She is a nerd

30 12 2005

Bidding results are scheduled to come out at 9 through the NUS mail, but I tried logging into IVLE just for fun. If you got your modules, they are already reflected in IVLE. Haha… I’m such a nerd.

Yay! I got all my modules! I’m glad there is no fiasco like last sem … wow what a shitty period of time that was… first day of school and no modules. It really makes me appreciate getting all my modules :)

I saw a (in my opinion) very sexy name in my class roster! Rourke! I find that name unbeliveably sexy. Haha. I also saw 2 names that reminded me of someone. I didn’t know that name was so popular overseas…

Oh I’m going high tea-ing with a couple of my friends! Yay. Am really really REALLY tempted to do Raffles Hotel but it would cost … :(

“What part of our history’s reinvented and under rug swept? What part of our memory is selective and tends to forget?”

Some words have been running about in my mind the whole day.

I hate module planning

26 12 2005

I am getting Birkis! Hahahaha Daddy’s sponsoring!!! Alright la, if you guys are gonna say so lucky and what not, my brother got a new television and a room entertainment system (which probably amounts up to about a thousand bucks) so maybe I should ask for like 5 pairs of birkis.

Daddy ‘I know you like shoes…’

Me ‘Which girl doesn’t?’

Some new shoes at home (one of which is still lurking under my bed cause I’ve been buying stuff like crazy) The white one costs twice as much as the green but the green one got so much more compliments haha…

Read on for more about module planning

21 12 2005

Oh I forgot to write about something.

Went to visit Alex at the wine cellar yesterday. It’s such a nice place! Anyway, this little boy … about 5-6 years old, I guess, came running into the place.

He looked at us shyly.

Then he held something out to me. It was a chocolate bar.

(: So cute!

Then he thought for a while, and took back the chocolate. ‘This one’s not nice‘ he explains, and hands me another one.

He took the ‘not nice’ one and gave it to Alex. Haha :)

Later when I was going to leave, I went over to say good bye to him. He ignored me…

He was watching Spongebob on the plasma tv.

Hahahaha…





Perhaps…

20 12 2005

I’ve just finished watching Perhaps Love… can anyone say Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind? (:

Almost everything about it reminds me a little of ESSM. The lying (snow angels) on the snow, the editing (erasing) someone from your memory, the guy trying to get the girl to confront memories (retrieve memories), the flash between the past, the present and the film (the past, the present and the memories) and so on…

Not to say that Perhaps Love is not good, it’s actually very good. It makes you think. The opening lines of the show makes you think. I paraphrase

Life is like a movie. Someone may be a co-actor in your life. But in their life, you may just be a supporting actor, or even have only a minor role. Sometimes, we edit parts of our lives away.

Something like that.

Which is very like what I read in Trading Up, about how you can forgot huge parts of your life and if you forgot about it, did it really happen? I guess what interlink these 3 ideas (ESSM, PL, TU) is the idea of the inaccuracy slash importance of memory. To some people, memory can be so easily manipulated, it really just means that memories are useless. But again, these are the people we try to be, because they seem happier… we don’t necessary have to like them to want to be like them.

Sometimes I think we are living a lie.

Also, in this film, the question of why we want to hurt the people we love the most.

Very interesting.

It lead me to think… Read the rest of this entry »

Got fishball noodles too. :D

Velvet, Zouk and Phuture with Chris and friends

No photos but it’s been a long time since I was at Zouk on a wednesday night (so diluted, according to hching and I agree!). Anyway, met Sam, Chuan, Yonghui, Maurice and (shrieks) Dawn. Haha… she turned out to be quite nice la. Make me feel bad only… haha. Maybe she’s nice to Chris’ friends. Hur hur. Anyway, most minimalist clubbing experience ever. I had no contact lenses, like 20 bucks, no card, and my phone has no battery. Haha… Had to steal Chris’ watch to wear. Hahaha…Somemore left me stranded with Dawn and co to go toilet! !!! Erm, supper with Chris’ friends. No fishball noodles but RV has pretty good food too and not too far also.

Anyhoo, this is what I mean by fishball noodles (plus the auntie)! Love!

A bit tired of Phuture… I wanna go somewhere else!





Blonde moment

18 12 2005

I remember a blonde moment I had during the camp. By the beach, I was having lunch. Then this guy came and sat beside me. He asked me why I wasn’t touching the tofu with mushrooms. And I said – ‘I don’t know… the mushroom’s a bit… fungi-ish‘.

Obviously that’s not one of my better moments. He laughed, and said ‘Then you should try the chicken, although it’s a bit meat-ish‘.

… Anyway, just to clarify, I love mushrooms (all except shiitake) and tofu. Really. It’s just that the mushroom they cooked with the tofu was so awful! It’s like fungi… I don’t know how to say it. I prefer my mushrooms alone… you know like sauteed and stuff. If they had to be cooked with tofu they should use button mushrooms…

Anyway! Yay!!!! Although I had initially thought I wouldn’t buy anything at the mango sale today, I DID find loads of stuff I wanted to buy! And I bought this top!! The 70 bucks one I’ve been eyeing since forever! (Please ignore bra strap at the bottom) Nice right!!

So nice right!!! I’ve already decided where I want to wear it to!!!

Anyway, I’m also kind of looking for clothes to suit this look (Lily Donaldson)

The closest I’ve got is this… (I do have a black scarf at home though.. hmm.)

I’m really into the whole sweater pullover with faded denim look now!! Haha… (:

Oh ya! I was playing with my camera and it’s really quite cool! The functions are really fun… look.

(warm setting)
(cool setting)
(normal setting)

And it looks so beautiful in all of the three. (:





In a sky full of people, only some want to fly

18 12 2005

New favourite song. I’ve been listening to the songs from the VS 2005 show over and over again. I really really liked the Russian remix of Drop it like it’s hot! Okay la, love this song by Seal, he’s so much better than Ricky Martin (shudder)
