Post-exams

Whoever said money can't buy happiness simply didn't know where to go shopping.

Sorry for not updating for the longest time ever - okay, maybe not the longest time, but I guess it's been quite awhile - coz I was too busy celebrating post-exams.

(Where I come from, post-exams period calls for a HUGE celebration which usually ranges from a few days to a week or so.)

My mum, cousin, and grandma came to Singapore to visit my aunt cum shopping cum visit my mum's gorgeous daughter.

*lolwthamitalkingabout*

Anyway, we went lotsa places, plus, we ate lotsa food - all you can eat International & Japanese (I know International is inclusive of Japan so it's rather redundant to mention Japanese, but my point is, THERE WAS LOTSA SASHIMI!!) buffet at Vienna *gasp* - plus, we I spent lotsa money, plus, KEVIN TAGGED ALONG!!

Whee~~~

Went shopping with my mum for the first time ever since I arrived back in Penang.

I have to keep explaining to my parents that I don't usually "spend like that" (if you know me, you should know what "spend like that" means) in Singapore; it's just that the only time I get to "spend like that" is when they're around to sponsor me.

The only instances when they see me is when I'm "spending like that", hence coming conclusion that I always "spend like that" in Singapore too.

I must say, I have tried my very best to be thrifty in Sigapore!! It can't be helped if I've tried my best but I still spend more than the average uni student.

I digress.

Anyway, today, I bought...

A thriller book, Pharmaton (some kind of supplement to help me stay more focused - yes, I've finally succumbed to supplements; no more the I'm-so-healthy-I-don't-believe-in-supplements me), daily disposable contact lens, a PSP charger (coz my old one misplaced itself), some new PSP games, and an adapter to connect Play Station 2 controllers to PC via USB.

Whoo.

I'm sounding pretty techie, huh?

Yup, I'm going to play PS2 games on my laptop.

And yup, I just mentioned that I got myself daily disposable contact lenses (yay!! I'm so excited coz it's my first time wearing them!), of which I've never heard any of my friends thinking of trying it yet so far (to which I assume is due to it's pretty high cost), and apparently I'm the first among my friends to try it out.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Nope, I'm not playing PS2 games on my laptop yet, coz I haven't figured out how to configure the emulator correctly. Yeah, I guess I'm a tech noobie after all.

If you think I'm relaxing right now, you're wrong.

Okay, technically you're correct, BUT I do have work to do.

For instance, getting around to writing my book (at this rate, I'll never get it done) and busying about those damned Publicity and Publications stuff for the upcoming Lion Dance competition hosted by NTU Lion and Dragon Dance Troupe.

Yup, I'm head of Publicity and Publications.

And I'm dying.

ARRRGH.

First, let me watch a few episodes of Full Metal Alchemist and bury my nose in the new book I bought today.

Toodles.

P.S.: I know I'll sound like a real noob if I say this but... I DIDN'T FREAKING KNOW A PAIR OF FREAKING FAKE LASHES COULD COST SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!! BLOODY LASH MANUFACTURERS ARE BLOOD-SUCKERS!!

Or is it just me, who has never bought a pair of fake lashes in her life before, hence having no idea how much they usually cost?

Everything you should know.

I live in a modern city called Singapore. I believe that what you do does not determine who you are.

I love pink, ice cream, movies, computer games, shopping, designer bags, and all gadgets and gizmos.

I am someone who lives in the moment. Some people may view me as the type who is carefree, nonchalant and not generally concerned about my affairs, or as some may put it, a "couldn't-be-bothered" attitude. However, the truth is that when I am put under pressure, I tend to hide my true feelings of anxiety and panic, and I put on a calm appearance. When faced with problems, I try to put on a strong face and be okay, even though I may not be. I generally try to see the brighter side of things and be happy. This has led to some people assuming that I just don't bother to be concerned about things, while I actually do.

I also enjoy meeting new people and talking to people. I enjoy telling people about myself and sharing my life experiences, as well as listening to their stories. I believe that there is something to learn from everyone, regardless of their age, gender, social background, or status. I feel energized and motivated when I am talking to people, because I know that I can always learn something new from each conversation.

I love digital art and I enjoy sketching on my iPad, though I wished my skills were better. Occasionally, I do pen and paper sketches too. I have an interest in singing and dancing, though I'll have to admit, I don't have much talent for that.

I enjoy curling up in bed with a good book, something I do less often than I should, no thanks to my busy and hectic life.

I am an avid movie goer. While most find it satisfactory to catch a movie once a month, I demand my weekly movie dosage. I have a huge fascination for movies featuring the living, flesh eating dead and I religiously watch every single one of them.

Let them laugh - I hold fast to my principles and values regardless of how others view me.

I continuously remind myself that failing is fun, and that everything is an experience.

I may procrastinate at times, and it is something I am trying to change. My living space can be a little messy at times, and maybe also a little disorganized. I wished I could be more organized than I currently am, and this is also something I am striving to achieve. However, I believe that a little bit of disorganization shows personality and creativity.

People motivate me. However, I can sometimes feel pressured and intimidated by someone whom I regard a higher status than I am, in terms of experience and maturity. With regards to these people, I tend to speak less and listen more, for fear of being ridiculed for saying something shallow. I realize that this is something I need to work on, and I am trying my best to improve my confidence.

I have done things I am not proud of, some of which I'd rather not say. I am not perfect. Sometimes I make bad choices. some may think I'm a bad person, but I don't care. I say what I want to say and I do what I want to do without worrying about what others think.

I aspire everyday to become a better person and I am constantly stiriving to improve myself to be a more confident, independent and courageous woman.
