You're a French vanilla cappuccino!

Ooh... somebody's wearing their classy pants. You're not extravagant or show-offy, but you appreciate having nice things, like a designer mug instead of a disposable to-go cup. You're calm and confident, so you'd be perfectly comfortable ordering coffee at a sidewalk cafe in Paris or at a restaurant that's so fancy they don't even put the prices on the menu. No matter where you go, you won't let anyone intimidate you -- you demand respect.

Seems like it has been a gazillion years since I last posted..

I don't get it man. I really don't.

To be honest, I really enjoy what I'm doing and I've never regretted taking up this choice. Proud to have done so. It has been fulfilling so far and I can't really imagine how my school life would be now had I not made this decision.

But sometimes I just can't help but wonder, is the opportunity cost too high? Haven't been spending enough time studying, enough time with the people who matter, and pangsehing different groups of friends left and right. I was sad to feel that I've been drifting apart from people, but now I wonder if I'm the root cause of it all. There are some important friends that I haven't even met during the december holidays.

Or is it just because I haven't been managing my time properly? After all there are people who took up the same choice and still able to maintain their gpa of 4.5 and above. Maybe I haven't been prioritising?

Why do I feel like I've put in so much effort, but not getting enough in return? I haven't been doing a great job; I know that. And why do I keep turning up when so many others in my position haven't been doing so? Maybe I should learn from them. And even when I spend time fulfilling my responsibilities, I feel so useless. Like I'm just there for the sake of being there and I'm not even doing anything that matters.

What are my responsibilities?

Am I being oversensitive? I feel like I'm being blamed by everyone. Displaced by others. I hate to doubt what I'm doing but somewhere along the way it has gotten a bit too far. When was the last time I met my friends? Stayed at home for 2 days in a row? Went to town? And now the second time ealing's back from malaysia, I don't even have time to meet her. Again. What's wrong with me.

And I can't help but think that people out there might be jumping to the conclusion that I've been so MIA because of my bf. Seriously, that's plain ridiculous. I've never pangsehed anyone else in favour for him except for once, because it was our anniversary. In fact he has been nothing less than supportive. Come to think of it, we don't even get much quality time to spend together due to our own commitments. Recently we haven't even been going out at all, except to JP?

I don't even know where all my time has gone to. And the worst thing is, I'm not even getting enough returns. My events are cui, I'm like a nobody and I'm barely keeping up on my studies. Desperately trying not to fall behind.

I guess I should return to hitting the books instead of writing this kind of useless entry that no one will probably read anyway. Going to town soon for the first time in 1.5 mths to pick up some material for my event and a present for a senior.

Retail therapy sounds really good right now.

Sudden urge to go buy cute pretty things ): I want canary yellow shoes.



Kbox sounds nice too.

So I got what I wanted. I feel quite accomplished actually, because I took the step forward and worked for what I wanted and got it. 

Rarely have I done that. Usually I just wait for things to fall into place and I'm not proud of that.

Things are going to get tough and tougher, but I must persevere (: Go me!

I don't think I will blog often here anymore. Sometimes, there are just so so many things I want to say, but I can't afford to let everyone know. 



So who listens to the listener?




So sorry for being cryptic and cynical.

Once again, I'm sick ): 

Bleh. Think it started one week ago, but I kept sleeping late, waking early, going out, avoiding the doctor so... It got worse ): Hrmph. I guess I deserved it. Haha. MUST sleep early tonight (for once)!

Well I think time passed pretty fast, actually. It's already two weeks since I ended my job!! Finally, a break after 7 months of working (faints). Strangely, I don't seem to miss work as much as I thought I would. I mean, it was fulfilling and kinda fun in some ways la.. But I guess monotony kills |: Maybe also because I've been packing my schedule for these two weeks to the brim. I miss them though, so I went to queue for donuts to bring back to office on Fri. Haha. 

So basically I've been driving everyday these two weeks lah, and going out everyday with different people that sort of thing. Went to Sentosa on err, Tues? Very fun and relaxing but the sun can kill people man. I was stupidly wearing a polo tee cause I thought I wouldn't be spending time in the sun, but after one hour of sandcastle-building my skin was burnt to crisp and I now have ugly tanlines on my neck and arms. URGHH. It's not so bad now but at the worst part I really look like a walking piece of charsiew. Grr. Will maybe go tanning one day to get rid of them.. I know it's not good for the skin, but the tanlines are really horrible and most likely won't fade in the next 5 years! I can't wear anything with sleeves shorter than mid-arm length. 

Watched HP on Thurs. Best HP movie so far, imho! Of course, there's a lot of important stuff left out as usual, but at least they didn't put in corny stuff.. The cinematography is brilliant! Very nicely done (: Quite a number of moving scenes! The fighting scenes remind me of wuxia pians HAHA. Oh and SNAPELOVEEE totally man. I don't know if I'm nuts or what, but he's so funny (even though he's not supposed to be). Luna is cute and dreamy (: Tonks is ok lah, less funky than what I expected. Umbridge is absolutely disgusting.

Young!james is cute! Haha!

Hmm just now I went for Biz camp briefing.. The OG is huge lah, there are like 30+ people in each? But ok everyone seems pretty nice. Saw some familiar faces. I'm currently having problems trying to remember everyone's names.. Sigh short-term memory. I joined the group

Which is why I can't seem to remember what I did last week at all. Ugh!

Ok I will be having camp for 5 days next week. Should be quite fun, so I'm kinda looking forward to it. The amount of clothes we have to bring is insane though. It's like 6 sets and 1 set of clubbing attire?! Gah I don't think I have enough shorts and underwear...

What else happened... Oh yes the Tweakies are trying to organise a class gathering for 20202 on 23rd July!! (: Really really looking forward to this.. I haven't seen everyone in eons and well, I like organising stuff so yeah. Haha. Hope more people turn up! The three of us really siao man, dug out the uber uber old class list and tried to contact everyone through various means. Six degrees of separation and all. Oh you wanna know how old the class list is? Let's just say that there aren't even handphone numbers on it, and the house phone numbers are all 7-digits. Gosh-

Ok almost time for dinner! Shall blog more later IF I thought of something else to update about |:

According to LJ, my last entry was four weeks ago. Oh dear.

-cough-

But ANYWAYS! Today marks the last day of work at Siemens (: Oh yayness I'm a free person again! This marks my 5.5 months at Siemens, and nearly 7 months of slogging in total! Wowee I feel accomplished-

Was kinda sad to leave.. After all I did make some good friends there and the people are nice and crazy (: Work is fulfilling, though immensely tiring. Heh I walked around to give them ferrero rochers, and felt a bit emo when they all wished me all the best. Uncle says, must hao hao du shu (: Lol. Bu she de sia!

Msged two of my closest colleagues after work because was too paiseh to say such rou ma stuff.. But basically thanked them for caring for me, answering my 8966481 questions and talking to me when I'm demoralised.. Very very touched by their replies too. Ah so happy <3 -warm fuzzy feelings- Super gan dong!

But still! I'm really looking forward to July and beyond. Two weeks full of driving(everyday), going out, resting~ And going out on weekdays too!! Omg I haven't been out on weekdays since last year. Shopping on weekdays+cheap kboxing+students' privilleges, here I come!

Also school camps + moving into hostel! Exciting man. Today I send out application forms for NBS camp and Union camp, which are held on 16-20 and 22-28 July respectively. That's two weeks gone! Also just received the package for Hall FOC just now, which I most definitely am going for as well. Hmm, hope I wouldn't be too shagged. Good luck to me man. Should I drop one camp? ):

If you noticed I have ONE DAY free on 21st July... HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS yesyesyes. Just nice!

Bah. I just ran out of steam. Suddenly can't think of what I wanted to say. Grr! Maybe I'll update again soon with more insightful comments/pictures. Yesyes?

Oh yah time to do a shoe count, simply because I now have too many pairs. Inventory time!

1. Nike sports shoes
2. Black+silver heels
3. Brown round-toe heels
4. Colourful polka-dotted open-toe heels
5. Pink polka-dotted kitten heels
6. Khaki open-toe wedges
7. Electric blue pointy flats <3
8. Black Melissa-inspired jellies
9. White C&K sandal wedges
10. Black canvas sneakers
11. Red patent wedges
12. Gold+white heels
13. Melissa Heart slippers
14. Green Havainas
15. Gold Gisele Ipanemas <3

I might have missed out a pair here and there, but the thing is:

OMG TOO MANY PAIRS OHNO0s

No more shoe shopping!!!

Well I think one day I should dig out all my shoes+bags+clothes and do a photoshoot. That should be quite interesting..

Anyways, shall end the entry with a vid! Love this vid (: It's so fun-looking! And very apt, imho. Snoozing every morning, going for boring mundane work, having retail therapy with the girls and crazy crazy karaoke-ing (: It's like my life lol! But more fun lah, of course.



OK toodles (: Will definitely blog more soon! Heh this entry is so bimbotic, it's embarrassing...
