Tooodaay~

Today, I had my hair dyed back black, helped put  up the Christmas tree, and have had my Ireland internship confirmed. (: Should be posting photos but I’m too lazy. (as usual)

So anyway like I said, it’s confirmed (!!about time!!), I’m leaving on Sunday at 1050pm for Carlow, Ireland! *excited* Was annoyed at the suddenness of the news but got over it so now I’m just mainly excited. (: I think we’ll be doing a research project there… Haven’t gotten much details on that. That doesn’t sound too fun but, will do, should be manageable. At  around 8 degrees, it’ll be ass freezing cold there though. Already have 2 boxes full of winter stuff I’ll be bringing there. Brr!~ I’m gonna have to bring so much stuff! And it doesn’t help that I’m super kiasu… >.<

This internship will just be a month only though so I’ll be back by Dec 15th. It’s a shame I won’t be here for my birthday or my first yr with the boy.  Oh wells..
*pat pat* Stay strong hon! I’ll be back before you know it and we’ll celebrate Christmas together k (:
Love you!

POL-ITE

Silver yo! We did it. (:

After the months and months of training, sweating, cursing, crying, headaches, we finally did it. It wasn’t easy, we didn’t always believed we could, but we did it. Sigh, feels good (: Wish I myself had performed better considering the fact that if I had won both my games, it would had been a Gold for the ladies, but…. yeah I guess I did my best. Sorry team! >.<
Silver. No longer the last now are we.. (:
And we proved you wrong alright, you who sits in your office chair thinking of ways to close us down, we proved you wrong.  HAH!

Mmm…

 

 

 

 


HAH!


Okay that feels so much better. (:

Haven’t blogged for a while, oops. (:

Hehe. Not like I’ve been doing much nowadays anyway. Life’s pretty ok, still waiting for news for my OSIP. Waiting for this news week after week is like.. Being in the restaurant where the food you’ve ordered still hasn’t arrived after a gazillion years. You know it should be here by now, but it’s not! And all the excitement that you had for the food is slowly fading and soon after, you just don’t really care what way it comes here or how it is presented, as long as it just shows up on your plate cause you’re so damned hungry!

Yeah wells.
Spent most of my days lazing around with the boy anyway. We had fun of course, and visited underwater world one of the days too. Was a lot smaller than I remembered actually, but my dad says it’s cause we used to keep wanting to go on the travellator again and again and spent most of our time there. Still, the place was cool. Especially enjoyed the touch-the-stingrays pool! The stingrays had this slimy carpety feel to them, almost felt like… well someone spread slime over a carpet. Lol. But it was quite an experience touching them! Haha. Oh, they also like swimming sideways against the walls of the pool so a quarter of their body sticks out of the water, it’s like a shark with a very floppy fin! Haha cute. (:
Lazy to post up pics. You’ll survive.

Hmm what else.. Kleon offered us tix to go for the halloween-ish night safari with him and Elaine on Friday night but we didn’t go in the end cause of the rain ): I was crazily disappointed! I don’t even know why I was THAT disappointed. It was just… ): x 1000.

And then.. there was the community prog with the youth ministry to go to the cerebal palsy centre to spend time with the kids. Al & I were in charge of this 6 year old boy, Joel.
He. Was. Adorable.
Interesting though, even after the 4 hours we spent with him, I still wasn’t sure what was wrong with him.  He seemed like just another normal child, who’s favourite color is orange and doesn’t like dancing.  He likes counting and draws pretty well. He writes his name as Joel Tan K2 2009. And I think he likes me more than Al :P
I’m glad I went for the event though, learnt so much about these kids and it was such an experience. There was this beautiful small girl with the biggest eyes ever, who only lives in her own world and really cares about nothing else. And then another child, a cute and chubby girl, who had autism couldn’t express herself and could only scream to get attention, taking the servers 10 mins to understand all she wanted was a yellow ball. It was quite painful seeing all these though, but I know these kids were touched by the event and a seed sown in their lives. The event was called “His power, your hands” afterall (:

Today, had a shoot with Shen. Was fun, enjoyed myself. Tomorrow, POL-ITE starts.
Woo! Excited.
It shall be good! :D

…sniffles.

In an effort to determine if there is an evolutionary reason why men are far more likely to participate in dangerous activities,social psychologists at Florida State University tested undergraduates’ risk tolerance using blackjack.Before playing a series of rigged hands, male students were shown pictures of either attractive or unattractive female faces, and then asked how interested they were in finding new sex partners.

The males who saw the pretty faces, and who considered themselves on the prowl, were more likely to ask for a “hit” and risk going over 21 than those who saw the unappealing faces, or who weren’t sexually motivated. When females were given the same test, there were no such discrepancies.

Group shot!

Yay about time I posted the pictures :D
Toni&Guy’s hair show was alot of fun and was a nice way making moolah while getting a free new cut and color (:

Chantal & I. Love her hair! :D

8435_181035834147_784969147_3773150_475613_n

Me, Priscilla and Chantal. Hehe contrast!

Loads of pretty girls there for the show! It was a super long day, starting at 7am but it ended around 2pm. Anyway, it took a week for my hair to get to the way it is and I have photos for you guys! Okay la, I know it looks sorta zhilian-ish, but for recording down purposes kay! :P
Show was on a Thursday. On Sunday they cut it, Monday for 6 hours they bleach it the color in the third picture. Quite awful and ahlian-ny with the bleach below, hahaha. So I stayed mostly home on Tues and Wed. Then wore a cap to Dad’s bday at Lawrys though. (Yum!!) Finally on Thursday, they colored my hair for the hair show. (:
Do like it quite abit, but would be dying it back black soon I guess. Still kinda prefer black :D

Did this last night with the my new photoshop cs4 in my new reformatted laptop (:
I know it rough and gory and all.. but that’s my Jesus.
(The real scene was probably alot worse but.. yeah.)

Weirdness

a6

We’re all a little weird, and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them in mutual weirdness and call it love

Gory to Glory

I was cute once… and then I wasn’t.. and then I REALLY wasn’t… then I finally got better -.-

So now I present you, the epitome of toot-ness! Hahaha. Don’t laugh too loudly though, bet you had that awkward growing up stage too!
Sis on the left, yours truly on the right.

1. 7
I’m the one who looks fair and cute and cant seem to locate the camera.

2.6

I like have, huge eye pupils! They’re like marbles!

3.5

This is not fair, the photos were taken at a different timing.

4.4

Stupid buckteeth. -.-

5.3

Hahaha this is unanimously agreed as the WORST PHOTO EVER.

6.2

Sis looks like the a real estate agent! Haha.

7.1

Whew.

Mmm

If I close my eyes and open them again, will all these have gone away?
I don’t like sleeping while knowing you’re in pain.
Watching itself was painful. I really hope they gave you painkillers tonight.
Sometimes in the hospital when you’re finally asleep, I wonder what would it be like if I was in your place. If I was the one hurting and you’re the one taking care. I think you’ll be better at taking care of me then I will ever be of you.
Kinda sucks in a way, haha. But then this whole experience is suckish anyway.
Yesterday when you were still bedridden was especially scary. I remember sitting there while you groaned in pain wondering when was the next time you’ll be able to hug me. Was it selfish to think of that? Hmm. Thank God that everything got better today though. It was a relief waking up to the news that no operation is needed and you’re allowed to sit up again. Definetly love getting hugs from my boy. (:
Sigh, get well soon now. Gotta buy you more gummy bears tml.

Bleah, hospitals are such mentally draining places..

Tired ):

More of exhausted actually. Hmm.
Don’t really know how to blog this down, everything just keeps happening its frizzling my brain a little. Poof.
School labs are closed and everybody in my group has laptop problems, which equals to very little work done for our MP. Little work done = little marks = quite fustrating really. ):
On the bright side, I had a cooking lesson from Elaine a couple of nights ago, really fun, enjoyed that part. (: Then there was doing NAPHA today along with Yinghui. Results were not satisfactory, but was more fun than expected. I think it;s the company. Haha. Will be back to retake it again next year.

And then there’s of course.. this. Alastair just got himself landed in the hospital from a back injury in NS. My clumsy boy.
Hai. Had to be sent straight to the hospital from tekong. If you heard how he was telling me he was on the way to the hospital, you would have thought he was joking too. How I wish he was. Bleah. Anyway, I was in the midst of baking a whole bunch of heart shaped scones for him, he msges me halfway to say he’s on the drip and can’t eat. There goes my chance of using the food-is-the-way-to-a-man’s-heart logic…
Hahaha…
I don’t like being worried..
):

Haha, love!

Sigh..

tumblr_koeugt4b851qzyrwvo1_500

…really badly. OSIP happen already, please?

Too bad it means leaving the boy behind, along with my family and church.
I almost feel bad for wanting to get away from here so much. Oh wells.
And things wouldn’t be so horrible if NS wasn’t holding the boy back from visiting me there.
That is, if I even get there.
Can the school please give some updates regarding my OSIP…
Grr..

The boy is in field camp.
I’ve finished yet another book.
My laptop has been sent to repair.
Client for MP isn’t replying.
Nobody is answering my phone calls.

Huh.

Crazy Day

ZbJpErqW2oudk1ujKLmSKxE7o1_500

Today, my emotions just went through a heck of a rollercoaster ride. To be a witness to both a loss and a bond in the same day can really be quite exhausting.

As for the death… the news was shocking. I was honestly stunned when I first recieved it. How does one react to a the news of a death in a sms? The world still goes on with everything per normal, birds still fly around and time doesnt stop to allow to truth to sink in. It’s almost surreal, cause there you are doing your own things, surfing the net happily wasting your day away, and right at that moment, someone is just… gone. Like, gone forever. My reaction? Nothing. I sat there and felt absolutely…nothing.
Empty.
So then there I was later in the afternoon standing directly in front of his picture at his wake , and I still don’t believe it. Who dies at this age?! It takes 2 years before I could finally come to terms with the idea that someone my age has cancer, but death? That takes things to another whole new level.
My mind was just whirling like mad standing there while everybody was paying their respects to his picture. And it’s insane cause I actually had a chance to go see him yesterday but when the class postponed, the idea of going alone scared me. And that was it. No more, he’s gone. It’s just me, standing in the wake among people sniffling with teary eyes, and a very dull ache deep inside.
Rest in peace Yi Jun. To say I’m sorry for never getting to know you better now would be stupid, but from that little that I know of you for the last few years as classmates, I can only say that for those who did know you better, they have been blessed with a very good friend. Bless your soul.

Now to Mr and Mrs Smith, although you’ll probably never get to read this, congratulations on your wedding. It has been an incredibly sweet evening, even though I don’t have much of these dinners to compare it with. Thank you for inviting me to be part of it. God bless your marriage. Please have adorable mixed angmoh asian kids soon.

Tired. Really glad the boy is back for the weekend.

MP has been pretty okay so far, I’m looking foward to going back to T3 for some brownie-chomping-free-movie fun. (: And of course I really hope the client goes for the 3D idea.. it’s so much better. Hahaha. Anyway, yeah the painting in the previouc post has been coming alone fine, added some other stuff. Still deciding on the idea of her having a head but geez that’s gonna end up with so much work. Hahah. And I’m one lazy ass. -nods-

I miss the boy.

WIP

Figured today might be a good day to post my first WIP (work in progress) (:
Last pic is the most recent one, as you probably can tell. Anyway, any comment and critiques would be good. (:
(yeah i know the hand on e wait looks like crap. >.<)
