The Plane Post

I was totally bored on the flight so at some point I began writing a very random word doc which I decided would go okay on my blog. so here we go :)

(note: this might turn out to be very incoherent because I was just typing and typing and typing)

It’s 4:47 according to the clock and I’m writing this on the plane because there’s only so much one can sleep before

HAHA i tried writing it in french but doesn’t feel the same lolol. but okay, so there’s only so much one can sleep before you’re feeling so awake that there’s absolutely no way you could sleep anymore. and I’m not even halfway through this flight I think. Thank God we’re going to San Francisco and not Chicago because then I’d only be 1/3 of the way there. This ride’s supposed to be 11.5h. In many ways the flight’s not as bad as I imagined it would be because the seat’s sort of comfy, there’s legroom if i stretch reeeally far under the seat in front of me or I just stick my leg into the aisle and hope the stewards don’t trip. but now I’m fresh as a daisy and I don’t have all that much to do. Oh, plus the food was pretty good. hehe, I actually finished my greens and all. It was beef and potatoes.

oh damn I just realised that 1pm - 5pm is not quite 5 hours it’s 4 actually. so I’m not even halfway there yet. how now?

In a minute I’m going to start re-reading the book I brought along with me, Phillip Pullman’s Northern Lights. I hope that it lasts me a good few hours.. because what else am I supposed to do on this flight? There isn’t any internet so I’m typing this not knowing whether it’ll be an email to someone, or a blog entry, or whatever.

My neck’s kind of achy right now, as it has been since last night when I was packing and totally unable to sleep because it was such a frenzied day. and since I’ve got all the time in the world now, or a good 6-7 hours at least, let me talk about it to myself.

After DELF, which I truly madly deeply hope went well (because I’d kill myself if I failed dude I studied >:(), I met Jean for the first time in a long while just to walk and talk and talk and walk haha and we told each other what’s been going on in our meagre lives. I miss her so much. I haven’t seen so many of my friends in so long I think I’m going to email everyone once I get the time to when I arrive in Canada because this trips feels like such a long long thing. I hope it goes well. but ok, so I did some random winter-clothes shopping (i.e, just socks and keeping warm things. oh, thermal wear right!) and later at night mummy and I went for auntie jennifer’s hermès watch shop opening it was a pretty grand thing I’m so glad I sort of dressed up for it haha even went in little heels. I was so hungry that day though (this seems like a recurring pattern; why am I always hungry?) because I’d forgotten to eat when I met up with jean, we were supposed to have lunch but I ended up just having yoghurt instead.

omg it’s only 5:05pm I only took what, 13 minutes to write all this. shite.

alright I might as well write more then, if only just to pass the time. we’re sitting in the middle bunch with 4 seats. so there’s another random guy sitting with us. some ang moh, and my sis has the privilege of sitting next to him. so apparently earlier on while he was blowing his nose, his mucus splashed on her face HAHA total fml moment. but it wasn’t very nice, obviously, if it were me I’d be so freaking disgusted. ok so splashed isn’t the right word.. squirted? flew onto? you get the idea.. I’m so glad I’m seated at the other end.

and we missed our flight earlier on, because. NO TIME LA. anyway I already wrote about that earlier on at the airport haha. later on in San Francisco we’ve got a good 5 hours I think I can’t wait to just laze around maybe buy some books? but then the flight to Canada’s gonna be another 5hours. I don’t really mind, in fact I felt really relieved when we heard that we had to change our flight. time to laze around on the ground is sort of a good thing. :)

On another note my jacket was a pretty good decision, I was burning like hell in changi but now it’s cold up in the air and I’m still pretty comfortable. :) also, my pillow was v cool. haha my mom’s asking me if I’m done writing (but how? I’m so bored and there’s nothing to do?!) so I think I’ll end here.

I’ll be arriving at 2059h Canada time which means 0859h in Singapore. :o

I like to think of it as I’m flying back in time because Canada’s a day behind. hehe, interesting. and now my mom’s asking me to play a game. I told her I’d read my book but she asks me to be more fun. relax. lolol. why is everyone telling me to relax?

Mom: cos you’re boring.

but that’s what jean told me too. I asked if I should bring SATs over to Canada but she says please don’t I’m going to kill myself at this rate. so I accidentally-on-purpose did not pack the book in. :) I think I’ll relax now.

My White Christmas

So DELF B2 was finally over yesterday and I am bound for my white christmas in Canada.

At the moment we are at hong kong airport where we just missed our connecting flight. To be honest, the trip so far has been shitty. So many hiccups. I was so hungry because we took one hour at check-in and there was some silly little issue. and hungry jody = not v efficient jody.

at hongkong we had 1 hour. and now we have another 1 hour because we missed the flight by like.. 2 minutes. unintentionally. SUCKS. now we are going hk > san franscisco > toronto instead of hk > chicago > toronto.

Actually, I don't mind. because the flight's shorter and sounds less crazy. + we get to stop over at san francisco which sounds abit less scary than chicago. on the down side, we're going to be really really late in arriving in toronto.

& I also think I might freeze. the temperature's supposed to be around -15 to -20 and just imagining it makes me cringe and wither into the carpeted airport ground because being in airconditioned shopping centres in sunny singapore makes me shiver too.

and it's crazy cos now mummy wants to go shopping at the hk airport 20minutes to boarding time. if we miss this flight too i think we can head back home to singapore.

hmm, maybe missing our flight's not so bad. i feel less frenzied now. hehehe.

Crazy

I think we may all be addicted to this madhouse. I've graduated, I have, and yet my days have gone by in a blur and I don't feel any less stressed out or like I've left the school at all. It isn't registering because for the past 2/3 weeks I have still been studying like mad for DELF (the french proficiency test) ok fine 'like mad' is kind of relative.

but to me, any studying is studying like mad already (but ok to be fair I gave up watching HP7 with friends to do my french homework and prepare the next day + i was always prepared with printed worksheets and prepped work for class) and it has been insane my days were not so much excitement. of course, 18th nov was the last prep lesson for the test and I was like whoa. so i'm free? (no. i'm not supposed to be, anyway)

I also told my mom I'm not going to Japan with them on the 26th because I'm such a retard. but I decided that going to a totally -insert word that means the language is like shoomz away from french- place so close to the test is pushing the toeing the line thing a little bit.

but my days are so fantastically dry and so is my closet. It's like a little place in my room that hasn't been touched save the jammies and school uniforms. but of course, scattered like bread crumbs in between I have had some fun

1. talent vogue (this is slightly backdated 29/10/10 but wtv)
2. graduation
3. prom/fam
4. omg at this point i realise i haven't done much
5. oh right hcl o-levels.

but ok I will add more to this list when I think of stuff.

talent vogue was cool I had so much fun preparing for it and testing my guts (which had disappeared/are still non-existent) performing for the first and last time in rgs on my own, and the first time since I did star of the month (haha mini talent gig yo) in primary with claudia in primary 2. or 3?

idk the days are just breezing by in a breezy.. time warp thing.

and I remember having to drown in chinese and then french in a single day while preparing for higher chinese Os and not wanting to slack too much for french but at that point of time I listened to more of those 2 languages in a day than english and I wanted to die but anytime I used english I felt guilty. like right now, peut-être je devrais ecrire cet blog en français? (that was probably grammatically terrible too, I'm really sorry to whoever actually knows french who's reading this and cringing)

which reminds me

6. taking the entrance to h2 french for fun.

hahaha moment of sheer inspiration. I have absolutely zero intention of taking french up as an a-level subject and then jeopardizing my grades even further but I was curious.. and so I decided to take the test, which turned out to not be as bad as I thought and it was fun because I knew the results did not matter.

and now I wonder if I am addicted to test taking even though it fucks screws with my brain so much. along with my sanity. or maybe I've been brainwashed by the system and I am so kiasu I can't even help it. O levels for both french and hcl and then delf and SATs as well. and the unnecessary h2. but ok la wtv I have nothing else to do with my brain..

and now tuition has started. (this post is starting to seem extremely incoherent but I do think there's some form of a link anybuddy following? or still reading?)

but ok whatever now I put peetures down here for you to look at to thank u for reading (or if you skipped i don't like u).

life's good.

No mood

yes i have graduated and i realise i have been MIA for the longest time. i have lots of things to say and think and wow boy oh boy pain right now. incoherent. so no, not right now.

C'est un truc

Everytime I think I have time on my hands I realise (very unfortunately) that IT IS ALL A TRICK and I don't. because it feels like just yesterday I finished my exams and now I am just 3 days away from my math paper + french o-level orals. I am scared. well, no actually I'm not I think I'm supposed to though.

I am not feeling panicky I have been steadily doing math I don't think I'm very prepared but it's alright, fairly o.k. because my math is beyond rescue anyway. I don't even know how it ended up that way; must've slacked too much this year. I'm not stupid. :( but yes, time is not my friend.

sushi is my friend and companion. especially when i do work. but you can just about see how productive we were. 1) jean's sleepy face 2) joey n her leica 3) 20 pieces of sushi for myself after a smoked burger mistakenly gotten by joey (in terms of size o sushi) because I phrased myself wrongly... on a day we went to jean's place to do math. in the end it was good and i enjoyed myself v much.

in terms of my french I can only feel extremely inadequate because I am lacking in skill. but I am determined to improve that within T-2 days. How? dunno. I am appalled that I cannot function properly in another language (everytime I make this same realisation I thank God I can express myself in ONE language adequately, because goodness knows I need expression). Wouldn't it be great if there was a brain.google.com? or even better: translatejody.google.com. EXTREMELY HELPFUL, IN FACT. (if you're already thinking of all the possible controversies, please just.. don't go there.)

If that were possible though, imagine the amazing things we could do. maybe not websites. maybe just programmes. for a functional human brain.

JodyOS - with software updates

JodyCook 1/2/3/4/....n

JodySleepEarly, otherwise known as JoSE (haha José)

JodyMathBuster (ha ha inspired by my recent drowning in physics myth busters options)

JodyCT, critical thinker...

you get the idea.

The above were highly undeveloped thoughts I didn't even think of until the point were I typed it out. totally random brainstorming. not very fantastic, but whatever, you come up with something better.

Over the course of my mingling and chit chatting I have also realised I am not a very kind girl. I enjoy listening to racist jokes very much because I find them so hilarious and stereotypes on their own are already so funny, so stereotypes + jokes = zomghahahahahahahalaughfest

That is not to say I am racist. because I am almost certain I am not. I like the jokes, I do not hesitate making them (although I will watch myself here, and around people I am unfamiliar with - okay so I guess that means I do hesitate. but that's just what humans have to do to survive you know). I do not avoid other ethnic groups, in fact, I have many friends who are not chinese. and please, so many chinese jokes around as well (so funny.)

and and people need to appreciate the funny in life. because it is soooooooo~ :-)

I find I am blabbering incoherently because I am probably slightly (only very slightly) tired. I do not have school tomorrow because I have no options and no core lessons hurrah for paper checking. however, I will wake up at the normal time (or attempt to for 15 minutes and wave goodbye to my lovely sis and boyboy) to wish my sis and boy boy all the very very best for their PSLE which begins as of tomorrow. D: kids are very hardworking. these 2 of my favourite kids are extremely hardworking (o.k. boy boy tries) and I hope they find the papers a breezy piece of pie.

~

Last Saturday I went to Haji Lane with yoke because I have never seen the place and yoke wanted to learn how to navigate a dslr. It was good fun and I will put the pictures up another day because as I speak, my eyes are shutting and the world is disappearing.

Tomorrow I will go to toa payoh library and jean is going to join me (just like old times ;)) and we will do math.

really.

If you had only 24 hours left to live, what would you do?

Funny, I've been asked this before. I think some random stranger on omegle first time I was there. and he said he'd smoke weed while watching the world burn. or was that his answer to "it's the end of the world! what do you do?" ok nevermind. If I had 24 hours I would definitely ditch school and hang out with my family. we would take ten thousand gazillion pictures and I would write goodbye notes to people who mattered (writing notes for the first n last time in my life) and then I'd go on facebook during my last minute and update my status to "is dead" and fall dead clicking the button.

honestly, I don't know. I hope I never have to know when I die.

Ask me anything

I wanna do it again

Today it occurred to me that I am right-down-to-my-very-core kiasu. In fact, many of me (haha many of me) and my friends are. We sign up for every exam available, and I have no idea why. It's as if we want to get ourselves all stressed up and shit. but then again, with every exam being over we get another blast of sweet relief and I think it is this that makes everything worthwhile. The question of why we sign up for all sorts of shit (O levels SATs proficiency tests?!) remains unanswered but I think there are always nuggets of amazing experiences (however teeny) that make stress worthwhile.

On wednesday joey and I went over to jean's place for the first time and I enjoyed myself tremendously whilst all the while doing math. we had smoked burgers (which I adored and unfortunately gobbled down too quick for a picture) and sushi and sang loudly with ipods and phones plugged into a funtastic set o' speakers. I don't think I've ever enjoyed math more than that day.

:-) :-) :-) look three smileys with noses just to prove it.

today is/was children's day, something I am supposed to be too old for, and maybe that's true because I spent it at french class ho-oh. It was the final class oOo I'm glad I went because this marks the end of the 4 years I've been at MOELC learning a fun frisky fantastic fawesome french language. I wouldn't say I'm the best at I am still unbelievably careless and stupid when it comes to grammar but IT IS OK. because. well if I didn't read I'd be shit at english too because I know zero, zip, zilch about the RULES OF ENGLISH. Once again I am so grateful for my teacher because he is cool and does not look down on me (at least I don't think so) and I think I just might do OK for my O-levels!

~~and so I have been spending the past 2 weeks at options (reel reading, the american century, physics myth busters) which has resulted in me having a lot of free time, because my timetable is such that I have a killer monday (all 3 options, yo) a movie tuesday (Reel Reading yay. it's like, film study stuff extremely kewl and exciting) and an o.k. thursday with the other 2 options. I'm glad I did not let myself get influenced by other people because I am lovin' my options and I am getting to know new people; learning more about these people outside my circle.

I'm having so much fun.

The Recovery Post

That, my friends, is the one perk of studying. The breaks. Of course, the worst is over. I still can't believe I have officially taken my last papers in RGS it's crazy how quickly time passes when you forget to keep your eye on it. Just two weeks ago I was getting all stressed out and spending my holidays cramming my brains dry.

Alright, no. That was a lie. Over my September holidays (the one-week one, yes) I successfully procrastinated 10 000 times over the course of many many days, and I cannot for the life of me see how I managed to cheat myself into thinking I was being productive. seriously, for the whole of the holidays I was avoiding revision for any of the sciences other than chemistry and also of course, literature. I think subconsciously I was very much afraid of getting started because it'd sort of be admitting my ignorance and having to face the things I had to study was really crazily daunting. I also wanted v badly to be able to dress up and go out and so I kept wasting time on travel and stuff...

I just made studying sound like a really bad thing, but no. Once school started and I really got into the studying mood it's a pretty cool thing. I managed to rediscover my ipod and fall in love all over again with anberlin & the fratellis again. Good music is the key.

(alright now my sense of time for this post is really screwed because I saved that last chunk as a draft and today I have more to say ahhhhh)

o.k. one downside of this newfound liberation is that it has screwed severely with my sleeping hours. when I got home from my paper on friday I was so eager to take a nap I slept from 11am - 3pm and that night and every night since I have been sleeping at 4am. I should stop, really really really really really. My nose is working up and I can't open my eyes seriously have to peel them open just to see.

I'm going to die so early because of my lousy habits...

o.k. pictures!

so Nicole and I went to the airport to study on goodness-knows-what-day-now. We got there at 4pm or so and officially started work at 5 (haha we are not the most efficient I know). After we finished work at 10pm we spammed a gazillion photos for each other and together on timer mode, with my cam teetering precipitously - okay maybe not precipitous, but still - precariously on a random wall.

this is by far both nicole and I's favourite photo out of the awesome billion because we look simultaneously equally ridiculous.

yey tourist in our own country

beautiful nicole

one of our shots from far away. we managed to catch the last train that night despite our time-wasting. just in the nick-o-time.

The Sunday before my chem and lit papers and thus before all the papers began was insane. My family and our neighbours went for a dinner and I made the mistake of drinking more alcohol than I was used to (did not get drunk thank goodness I stopped before that) but I am not a drinker and the next day I took my tests with a headache. :( fortunately, I am used to my diseased state and so it did not kill me. in fact, I think I functioned fairly well in my discomfort. still, not the cleverest thing to do.

and now I am hobbling back and forth across time and space but I have finally gotten to what I really wanted to write about! The best part of my after-exams is definitely spending my day making my own DIY bokeh filter out of $1.65 black card and then testing it out. It's so exciting I wanted to test it out immediately and so I made my cousins and sis and marcus go out with me to the roadside to take pictures of the street lamps and car hazard lights; the pictures are in no way artistic I just felt so excited playing with the bokeh. today I brought my camera and filter to school and I think I am getting butter! better.

these 2 are the best and most patient they should get a prize. suiching and my sis left after awhile because bored and I wasn't very successful...

well I do think I improved. now can see face :)

ohmy so in love :)

If I could live my days like this forever

I've been spending the past few days in blissful ignorance of the fact that exams are in about a week's time. At the moment I am camping in my cousin's room, where the internet connection, for the first time in my life, is at maximum strength. That's because the internet ding dong is connected directly to his lousy desktop and well, it just occurred to me that I was on a laptop. Feels so nice not to have to worry about disconnecting every 5 seconds. It's really tiring.

Just spent the past half hour chatting with Clarinda she's going off to Germany in 2 weeks or so for University I think I'll miss her quite a lot. :(:(:(

Clar was trying to wake Zhu up cos they're going somewhere.

Me: "Zhu kind of reminds me of me when I'm trying to wake up."

Clar: "How do you wake up?"

Me: "I don't."

Alright, over the course of the weekend I've been far from studying except maybe today. I think I'm taking it too easy apparently there's not enough time anyone who sees this should remind me I have no bloody time and would I please get off the computer to read Hedda Gabler or count chromosomes?

I swear my mom does not care that I have exams, it feels kinda nice actually haha. Today while halfway through studying my mom decided she wanted to cook for the first time in ten gazillion years and so we followed some random youtube videos to try to cook Egg Benedict. The stuff we eat on Sundays at the Botanical Gardens.

poached eggs are too hard to make we cheated. we tried and failed. I have pictures but they are blurry (and embarrassing).

the sister does not give a shit.

"i will drink my chrysanthemum tea"

extremely pleased with our success!

tadahhhhh!

It was very fun and I felt like a TV show. and I also realised I'm quite shitty at cooking unless following instructions (in which case I am quite fantastic). I've been feeling like this for awhile.

On saturday I didn't know what I felt like doing at all, and I suspect studying didn't even cross my brain. but as a result I told my mom I wanted ice cream from Island Creamery, all the way in Serene Centre round Adam Road, which is considerably far-away from my home. We did it.

Reverse-O and Cookies & Cream

very pleased with this machine from the past. it's one of those mini ferris wheels for kids. I am slightly oversized now.

I think going to a non-routine place on a weekend set my mom and I on tourist mode, with my grandma tagging along. So my mom wanted to show me her old kampong place, which we never did get to, because our tourist instincts brought us to Dempsey Road, where I have never been.

instructions were that if anyone asked, we were tourists from Malaysia. ;)

ah ma saw fruits

In fact, this tourist mode is not wearing off. Sunday we had a family BBQ, pictures of which I am too tired to post up at this point in night but they are very splendid, and I will put them up very soon.

and tomorrow I will continue behaving like a tourist in my own country when I go to the airport to study with nicole. haven't seen her in too long I miss her a lot I'm going to bend down and hug her when we meet.

:)

and OH,

Follow my blog with bloglovin.

Oh Memory

Today was tragically tiring, with a philosophy paper at 8am and then physics make-up lessons from 12 - 2.15pm. managed to squish in brunch with the bowlers ( :D ) and then rushed off for French prelim papers which started at 3. got home so tired so, so, drained; fell asleep on the couch in the veranda, and woke up at 8 for dinner and chinese tuiton eurg.

I understand there's no need to list my activities, but it's relevant(!). Every day makes me appreciate life and the incredible complexities of the people around me. Different people have different drivers, and very often, they are all amazing.

Earlier on, during my physics makeup, I was feeling slightly impatient and very very weary for the lack of sleep last night (which reminds me, I should be sleeping soon). I'd been waiting for my teacher to appear for a while, while also trying to catch up with the syllabus. Out of nowhere, another teacher appears and casually comments on how hard I'm working, good for me. I said oh no, I'm trying to catch up on work, waiting for my teacher actually. And he says,

oh since she's busy, would you like me to help?

and for the next half hour or more, this teacher who's never taught me in my life is sitting there teaching me the entire a.c. generator concept from scratch. After he was done, he said

wow, I really miss teaching like this.

apparently, he hasn't been allocated classes so he hasn't been teaching for a bit. and he told me that if I ever needed help I could look for him again. and I'm like, wow. I really felt very blessed that I got the chance to know and learn from him and I realised that some teachers are very passionate about their jobs. Even my teacher, she must want to help me, since my failing is of zero consequence to her, and she's putting in so much of her time to help me.

If you ever see this Mr Ho & Ms Siow, I am very very appreciative of your help.

I felt so full up with goodness when I left school (and then this was replaced temporarily by fatigue and zomgness when I entered the french exam, but still).

Another thing is something I've realised. Kids nowadays have so many things to play with.

In the past, we played with barbie dolls and that was probably the most expensive of the lot. I remember arranging pillows round the bed with my cousins and then playing teacher-teacher, dancing to hi-five, barney, and watching pokémon. Being able to wake up early on a Saturday morning to catch pokémon and feeling immense satisfaction, or feeling disappointed that I woke late and got digimon instead.

I went to the playground every day and got into many accidents. I played catching, freeze and melt, police and thief, mushroom, and so many games that people would never allow their kids to play now because it's dangerous. I remember the times when playgrounds had no safety features. now those were playgrounds. Rusty tire-swings.

For me, google used to be only for googling "cute puppies/kittens" images. The internet confused me, and I used encyclopedias. The books.

I watched cartoons that made me feel good like the disney classics on video tape (and never understanding how to rewind a tape), and then being mesmerized when I got the dvd for swan princess. Changing into a swishy dress so I could swish the dress around like Odette and singing along with all the songs.

(and also multiple chinese cartoons from my grandma that make me :D on memory)

I'm not actually being sentimental, but it's all these things that made my childhood so achy to think back on and reminisce upon and try to get it all back. These things made my memories.

and kids I see nowadays play with nintendo DS and PSPs and laptops.

so impersonal.

We dreamed in heist

I was feeling in a pretty cool mood yesterday, I think it had to do with the decision not to study for chinese (till 11pm or so) and/or/probably that I got to dress up and go out again.

dress up = no school uniform

heh, I think some lady walked by the house and looked. this is my oops-got-caught face.

So it's safe to say I'm really fantastically vain and adore adore being as pretty as I can be.

p.s: jean, :)

Hey Mr Bartender

mix me a drink, I really need something to tell me it's

okay not to think.

seriously, it never occurred to me that I should be revising for the philosophy paper tomorrow till joey told me that fail philo = retain. and HELL, I do not want to retain. It'd be such a lame thing. oh wow there are so many things I wanted to talk about but as soon as I get on this blogger thing it all goes poof out the window!

but okay, the other day I was telling jean how my shortsightedness felt like I was seeing the world through beautiful high aperture lenses, where close things are so sharp and everything else is blurred beautifully. I also have a habit of removing my glasses in school (haha I actually had to ask rachael and jaslyn to identify themselves today when they said bye) and walking around half blind, but I'm o.k. with that. but see, would it not be absolutely splendid to view the world through cool lenses?

I think boy boy is so cute here. haha, photogenic little tyke.

I am proud of my ling-longs.

i do not know why, but i like this. it makes zero sense.

now see, if I really could see that little air freshening bottle in the car on the dashboard like that every morning it'd be beautiful. it's always been a piece of background until I saw this shot and I'm like wow.

glasses coming off.

So you see, I've been in this state of I-have-no-idea-how-to-feel-ness -ALEXYTHIMIA- but anyway, haven't been feeling the stress from exams even though social studies has passed, and chinese this morning. most of french is over, and tomorrow I've got the french prelim papers. I really hope I do o.k.

Hopefully the exam spirit is creeping back slowly into me (though I assure you it is not pleasant at all), but it keeps me going. I have spent the past weekend shopping (like I always say: zero sense of self preservation), as well as teacher's day. I did not get anything for my teachers this year and it is not that I do not care about them, once again it has slipped my brain and although you might say it's not a fair reason and it's lame (actually I agree,) but I really do appreciate many of my teachers a lot!

I'm coming to appreciate people more and more and more and I love the world so much. Everyone around me is incredible and spectacular and I learn from everyone every day and and and right now, I feel extremely blessed because I have been getting by happily, and in more comfort than many others (screw you if you think this is me being politically correct), in love with life right now.

(right now as in at 11:52pm Thursday night, in waiting for tomorrow's philosophy paper)

honestly though.

k lemme spam pictures taken with my funky canon ef 50mm/1.8 lenses. I don't think I'd like 50mm eyes, seeing everything so big is a little blegh.

so, yesterday, my mom, sis and I went out for (for what, actually?) a while. haha. I think I just wanted to get out of the house, there's nothing wrong, but I really did not feel like studying. and I think we all needed a break (stress tension in the house yo) so we went shopping/walking/tea-drinking at takashimaya.

aww.

mirrors beside us. how could we resist? that little two fingered thing is my sis' hand.

egg restaurant we chanced upon a few days back! this is the menu, filled with everything eggy. awesomeness, really.

alright, I realise this post is getting a little bit long, it is okay for you to just pause right here and take a breather, have a cuppa, go pee, look out the window at distant green things. you might even want to stop reading, but wait-

The other day, like 2 days ago, Tuesday. We pulled out our old pokémon season 1 vcds and watched it. Episode 1. It makes me so nostalgic, and as a result we dug up our old nintendo 64 with the bigass pokémon stadium cartridge, and that's really one of the things preventing me from productivity as well.

.

full arsenal of mini-games to keep me occupied for evermore.

yeah.
