Feeling Lumpy (Lumps do not like action)
I just may regret getting a mere $400 per month from this month onwards. Especially if all days are as unproductive as today. Spent the entire morning and early afternoon watching Naruto till the last dubbed episode :( Now it's either the manga or nothing!
I have to start on my portfolio. And send my materials to Goldsmiths. And finish my applications for NAC and DSG scholarships. or go nuts.
Ah, the woes of the free. I think I'm a workaholic.

Updates :))
Always having a feast for the price of a meal! We had good thai food at changi airport's kopitiam last sunday despite it being... kopitiam. We even managed to tapao another person's share. That's my ahma on the right, it was her birthday celebration! We didn't manage to do much though, lol.
Later rushed down for Jingboy's Team Sporting Goras' first league match. They played pretty badly and even though it got better in the 2nd half, it wasn't enough for them to make a comeback. Down with 5-2 score on their first match, boo! Who cares they look pretty sporting for pictures though :)
THAT is my boyfriend. HAHAHA!
The only two grinning people, jingxin and venga. hahaha!
*uber happy* someone came to visit todaaaayy!!! Am making a weird scrapbook of people who visit me at work! hahaha! I managed to get a date with her too, yayness! Can't wait! Oh wait, what are we doing again?

Proposition
If you get there before I do
Don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
Between now and then, till I see you again
I'll be loving you
Love, me
Funny how this, which meant so little, and then so much
is going to be the essence of my first portfolio project.

A Poor Fool's Thoughts
Within my minuscule social circle, I know of some people whom I easily label brilliant. People whose brains function at such as level that we average humanozoids can only gasp and make unflattering cavemen-like noises at, creating the age old sounds of appreciation like "oohs" and "ahhs" of applause.
These brilliant people care not for the restrictions of the society, yet they are by far the most constrained. Because of their sheer brilliance, their mere existence and influence is a threat to any old fool who comes along and pledges her loyalty (undeniably the most readily abused power in the world) to them. Most geniuses either perform at most average in mass grading tests that require more hard work than hard intellect to ace, and continue to be so throughout the rest of their lives unless they can channel their brilliance in a way that is socially acceptable.
Its the cold truth that we are not ready to welcome geniuses, only geniuses who can contribute to society. The world at its current state has no place for young Edisons, and deals with them by labelling them highly volatile, or at most mentally retarded. It is the biggest hypocrisy of all; to group both advanced and under-developed minds together simply because we do not understand their nature. But the underlying reason for our ostracism of the highly talented is their own power to manipulate character to get what they want. Character is what society builds in order to mould citizens whose actions become predictable, who are able to live in harmony in a herd that continually moves forward, away from danger, never straying left nor right.
And so, such irony it is that what most people define as 'unique' is something that everyone has, character. There is safety in numbers, placating the masses with a rosy definition of themselves instead of acknowledging the unattainable brilliance of the minority geniuses. Here is the age of democracy-- power to the masses, power to the norm, power to quantity over quality. Democracy which robs the rich in intellect of their right to world dominion, to give the poorer fools happiness.

Post Its
It's april already.
Can't believe that a third of the year has spun by and gone past so fast. So enjoyably, but also so stupidly. Spending money like nobody's business. Getting caught up in the least important things in life, wishing to go on holiday just because, trying to be past nineteen without looking too desperate.
Can life get any better/worse than this?
After the MOE TS Scholarship Interview. Thanks to everyone who wished me good luck and showed your concern for me, it was alright (largely due to jingboy's unexpected genius!!!)
SUICIDE!
Kidding. they're fake by the way.
*happy* Some people came to visit today!!!
Oily food is making my stomach churn. gulp.

Family.
Its funny how I look at you and see happiness, and you look at yourself and see a bad haircut.
Was just about to post when commercial appeared on tv. My mother and I truly thought it was a segment of some local drama serial or a movie and couldnt believe it when it turned out to be another fantastic advertisement promoting the importance of the family unit (only government propaganda deserves good adverts).
Anyway, today was a pretty family-oriented day for me and my mum; we first had a makeover done at paragon organised by Elizabeth Arden before heading to Island Cafe for lunch. The makeover event was definitely alot duller than my sister's Estee Lauder one, with only two makeup-cum-hairstyling counters in comparison to Estee's separate sections for makeup and hairstyling, about 8-16 booths each and all of them fully equipped with new, clean materials.
The result of weekly soccer: a bad tan. Im so not pretty.
Momsh and I!
At the Island Cafe, where I personally think we got ripped off because I'd definitely tasted yummier laksa and fried tung hoon and dont think they were worth the $16 and $14 repectively that we paid for (even though the former had crayfish in it, and the latter was topped with soft shell crab). we did pay for good ambience though, it was nice dining with a window view at the top of tangs!
pretty womom.
looks yummy but ive had better.
productive shopping today after some evan inspired bargain finding shopping! Managed to get stuff from cotton on body and an adidas hoodie (BEST BUY!) hip hip hooray! alright work tomorrow :/

Typical A2 Moment
The A2 Moment:
To stand in a group, preferably a crowded walkway, and deliberate over non-important issues such as where next to go, what next to eat, and to come to a conclusion that will incur another A2 Moment the very next minute.
Taking the bus to Kallang Leisure Park(?) (Isnt it a mall? Am I missing something?) Anyway Jingboy and I were very late, which is why by the time we reached there to meet Jac the first thing she said was "I'M GOING CRAZY!" So sorry!
Ghostly hand behind ahma.
Later after a long A2 Moment, we decided that we would all go ice skating save for Tp and Kaixiang who wanted to watch Fast and Furious 4 (to save alot of money too). The place was kinda small, but horribly crowded. Because there were so many people, the ice started melting fast and after a while it seemed as if we were skating in a pond.
Many ahbengz there who zoom past beginners, shave ice all over their friends, kick chunks of ice out of the ground, talk loudly and make tribal sounds (to alphy's delight).
Someone lightsabered ahma's head!
Before: Pose for a picture.
After: Almost falling down after posing for a picture.
Someone looks too happy.
Yay us!
We tried the train for a while, which was pretty fun (even though it felt like i was pulling a pile of logs) but got told off. Bummer.
Skate skate skate.
Camwhoring with ahma, whose hair is never in a mess.
The boys.
Guess who's back!
The only one perspiring in the cold ice rink.
Happy!
Unglam picture but i thought jacq looked nice so-- FOR YOUR BENEFIT OKAY SEE IM SUCH A GOOD FRIEND!
A2 in action.
Alphy:I... cant...do this...
Jacq: Zoom!
Alphy fell 5 times and had tweetybird plasters all over later. Poor boy.
Dinner at pastamania's after reuniting with the army boys (who knows what happened in the theatre...)
Does the car pop out (i don't think so...)
Toodles! Cant wait for the next A2 outing (with less A2 moments please!)
