another awesome (albeit terribly long) day at school. only got home at 12.

saw chee yong carrying his 30th Feb exhibition book (ttly going to get it) so we just ended up talking to him about his work. and that's how i found out that shenna feels the same way i do. like, it seems like the people who truly succeed, not with fame or wealth, but with utter satisfaction, are in a seperate world altogether. like it's not something that we'd ever experience. like we're just stuck with mediocrity. it was somewhat surreal to be speaking to chee yong... both hopeful and hopeless.

and yes he is cute hahahaha

then we just talked and laughed and talked and laughed then zhou came and we continued talking and laughing. didn't start work till evening because we had to wait for the 3 groups before us to finish. everyone just got quite brain dead towards the end of the night. still, this block has been really, really fun :)

i wonder how someone with such a closed mind could teach creative storytelling.


and today i realised that it isn't easy to walk back into someone's life at all.
  ughhhhhhhhh. sucks to be sick. i'm quite sure it's my lack of sleep. i never used to get sick this often until i came to design school. and it's really bad that my classes are all in terribly cold rooms. i got my am sticker this morning though hahaha so i suppose it's okay that i'm still coming to school?

have to present for CreaSt tomorrow. i swear she really has something stuck where the sun doesnt shine. geez. she is so fucking annoying... who says stories have to make perfect logical sense? that takes out the whole purpose in writing, or in any other creative outlet really. it's a fucking escape. how the fuck are you supposed to escape reality with reality? the whole class is totally just defending each other and going against her. what a bitch.

i just sneezed 3 times in a row. okay, i think i'm really sick. and still drinking teh ping. hahaha. this is quite a bad time for me really. what with being sick and it being that time of the month ughhhhhhh FML.

actually i wanted to rant about school. like not just CreaSt but studio lighting too k. some people are just so bloody inconsiderate and dead selfish. fucking noisy/annoying. that is probably what pisses me off most right now. the other day i was pissed b/c some people were irresponsible with our equipment that we lent them but i realised that it wasnt really their fault either, so i'm okay with them now. so now it's just... them. 'cause there are 4 groups of 3 in the 5th floor studio. and there's just one group that doesn't really click with the rest of us, i feel. yea, and they kinda annoy me.

but it's kind of serene sitting outside the studio now. it feels rather nice.
  slept at 6am last night. thank goodness i didnt have morning class. reached school at about 1 maybe, but we really didnt get anything done today. i just had a ball, laughing till my sides ached. this sounds like it's going to be a regular thing. did something dumb during lunch. had cravings for teh ping throughout the day. tried fresh cola mentos. tastes like regular cola candy. maybe worse. i don't really like mentos. school wasnt quite eventful, but good nonetheless.

left school with jiayi, headed to amk for dinner+雪花冰 with liern. japanese for dinner, and mango+strawberry afterward. bought a cute umbrella LOL THIS REMINDS ME OF

"UNCLE, 一杯 UMBR... UH, RIBENA"

probably not going to sleep tonight. got a presentation to prep for tomorrow. may as well stay up and read m for magic once i'm done. though i miss my bed. meh. still loving explosions in the sky. :)

for a few days now i've been looking at the moon as i walk home. it seems lower tonight. still round, like last night. so as i look i've been wondering... is there someone looking up at the moon at the exact same moment?

off to do work. good night, i love you, bye. :)

This block is draining, what with waking up at 7am and staying in school till 7pm and going to sleep at 3am. Thank God I don't have morning classes for the rest of this sem. Skipped CreaSt again and we've to present tomorrow NO CLASS TOMORROW!!! (I just checked the schedule 'cause I knew there was a day off this week, and found out it was tomorrow yay)

ugh I really wish to drop this module 'cause doing poorly for this would just adversely affect my gpa. Was late for studio lighting, Chee Yong was done by the time I got to class. According to him we all got our first choices, 22 in photog, 50 odd in graphic des and another 20 odd in illustration.

Studio lighting today was totally FML hahahaha omg the both of us kept doing stupid things. We finally consulted him today and as we were walking away (with Chee Yong walking a short distance in front) I whispered to Zhou that I thought he was cute and then he turned around!!! >___> Wonder if he heard.

I wish the weekend would come. I feel the need to just lay on the couch and read Neil Gaiman/Chuck Palahniuk. I want to go out for coffee and I want to go out for 雪花冰 and I just want to go out.

I miss people :(

lol wow it's 3am now
  I feel another headache coming on. It's there, but not quite, like a lion waiting to pounce onto a gazelle. I forgot my wallet and my bus concession expired and I kept forgetting to tap my card getting off the bus but I had a fantastic day at school. Well, studio lighting was fantastic. We had random things like mother of a bird (which actually made the sync cord work!!!) so we finished quickly and went for lunch.

Zhou, Shenna, Christina and I talked and talked and talked. Hilarity ensued. We had lunch at about 4, and left school at 7. At the canteen I laughed till my sides ached and tears welled up in my eyes. I can't remember the last time I laughed so much, oh gosh. Then Zhou spammed Christina's fb hahahaha KOU SHI XIN FEI HEN YAN ZHONG

I GOT FIGHT CLUB! YEAHHHHH.

and I don't understand what's up with people who act like the exact stereotype that others put them into, yet are absolutely furious when people stereotype them as such. like. if you act like a scene kid and look like a scene kid then don't get pissed off when people call you a scene kid? like what's so bad about being a scene kid? if you look like an ah lian and act like an ah lian and speak like an ah lian then why do you dislike it when people call you ah lian? i've been called an ah lian, a bitch, a whore, a nerd... and i am perfectly fine with all of them.




stop being such a brat.

  a headache from this afternoon persists.

today saw liern and i checking out haji lane's sunday flea market and thieves' market @sungei rd (there was a seagull TLR 4BI going for 45$!!), sharing a quite awesome bowl of sungei rd laksa, and parting ways not long after. finally tried pudding milk tea because of how xiang ai raves about it. finished reading coraline. it was brilliant, and i expected no lesser.

looping explosions in the sky. i want a twin-lens reflex camera. the rain is/was awesome. i feel ill. i do not quite feel the usual dread from going back to school on monday, but i'm not at all prepared for a presentation i have tomorrow morning.

i did find the stamp set i said i'd look for last night. an elephant is missing, and it's my favourite. :( i also just discovered one more stamp set. so now i have an animal set, a bird set, a sugarbunny set, a disney set and a random cutesy set.
  came back from dinner with jiayi at amk not long ago. walked around the pasar malam (my brother was right when he said there were many pasar malams at this time. there's one at bishan and another at tpy) and bought a couple of things. i think i've been having a recent attraction to rubber stamp sets. i had an animal stamp set from a long time ago... i wonder if i'll be able to find the stamps again! shall go search for them when i'm done with this.

i actually made a trip down to the library late this afternoon just for coraline. ended getting m for magic as well, which has been absolutely delightful so far. i totally need to get into the habit of reading regularly.

i have 6 books with me right now. kurt vonnegut, mark twain, kim edwards. neil gaiman (2), john green. done with looking for alaska and most of welcome to the monkey house. next up being both of neil gaiman's, which shouldnt take long. there are actually 2 more books that i want to borrow (because they're not on loan rn) but idk.

carpe diem, carpe diem, carpe diem. there's really no time like the present. right now i feel like i have so much to do and so little time! in a good way of course, because the numerous things i have to do are mostly reading books, going places and the like. hahaha.

today has been an awesome day, it really has. thought back on some really happy moments. and the sky was beautiful when i got back from the library just now.

okay i'm off to seize the day night now. :)
 
  oh gosh i am so tired. i wasnt late for class this morning (despite only having 3 hr of sleep) omg that is a miracle. not likely to ever happen again for this block though hahahaha. was playing with masking tape during presentations and mervin was like, what the hell are you doing?! hahahahaha. we watched a french film the red balloon, followed by speed starring keanu reeves. the latter was exciting but it was a pity we didnt have the time to complete the entire movie.

studio lighting after that. we couldnt do much b/c we didnt have our memory card and therefore couldnt consult chee yong. i really like the fact that his spec frames are orange heh heh. we got started on the inverse square law exercise but couldnt do much due to a lack of space. today was a wasted day. but i brought the d200 back. :)

still, i love studio lighting. it's so fun.

cha cha cha at holland v again! this time with a much bigger group. sam, of course, birthday boy with awesome cake made to stand on the chair while we sing him a happy birthday a la fish&co. kenji, bez, keith, javin, ling, ys, long (haha sounds like a gangster but no actually it's just junhong) and kenneth kan. it was especially nice to see the 3 dysfunctionals, the ones i've not met in what feels like ten years.

awesome cake was awesome. thanks to the barista in coffee bean who tipped us off on where to get cake. and 4 jugs of magaritas (one of which was strawberry) among the 10 of us. it really was a fantastic night.




ling said it's been 3 years. has it really? it's probably been longer than that but i only got to know her better like in sec 3. "come to the dark side, we have cookies" hahahaha woman do you remember!! and then "what do you call a pet that can do tricks?" randomly came up too hahaha gosh that's like, one of the things i'd never forget. and i kept playing with the lighter, placing it next to sam's ear just to hear him squeal. it's so fun to tease sam.
  gosh has today been a long day. though i woke up at 730 this morning i spontaneously decided to skip class. went back to sleep and woke up at 11. later i found out that zhou did almost the exact same thing. hahaha. it's a good thing too (that i decided to skip class) because studio lighting was so tiring. it's fun and cool and exciting but the novelty wore off after problems with the sync cord. and because we werent able to use the other light stand for top lighting, i had to lift up the light, stand and all, several times. fucking tiring. i would think that my forearms will ache when i wake tomorrow morning. stayed in school till 8. nonetheless though i love being in the studio, and i most def look forward to studio lighting. plus silver umbrellas are so awesome. they're so pretty when you shine the light on them. dazzle dazzle. they fade from gold back to silver at the edges. will most def try to get a picture. :)

today has been a very nice day. :)


for zhou (who said that i made her feel stupid a lot of times today hahahahaha)

pity creative storytelling feels like such a dampener on what seems will be a pretty nice block.
