Name of my art piece - Scar Of Beauty.

It depicts what really is underneath that layer of glittery beauty most of us put on. I want this art piece to remind all of us that outer beauty may be what most of us put our utmost importance in, but it does not last forever. Instead, it ages and peels away with time, eventually revealing what is underneath it. Underneath our superficial beauty is strong but plain metal which we are ashamed to show to the world, but it is what is inside us that really counts. I used metal as the element to depict our inner selves to remind everyone that despite what people think of us, we must remember that even though our youth and beauty may fade with time, it is what is inside us that counts, and that we are still strong in all aspects.
Beauty is not about what we put on for show, but what is really inside us.

Hope you guys are inspired by this.

Again, do vote for me by 'liking' it.

Thanks.

Love y'all!

I came across this video which caught my attention:

Which I think is kinda true.

I love video games, but at least I don't drown myself in them.

Telephone, n. An invention of the devil which abrogates some of the advantages of making a disagreeable person keep his distance.

~Ambrose Bierce

Sin Wei and I were discussing about what phone to buy when I suggested the Blackberry.

To which he replied,

i wonder will the Blackberry screen be too small
*hmm
*coz the qwerty "seems" occupied most of the space of phone?
*or my optical illusion?

Uhh...

But I thought it's a well-known fact that a phone's screen should be relatively smaller than it's keypad...

Right?

Is it just me, or am I too outdated to realize that phones' keypads are getting more and more non-existent nowadays?

Wait till people start saying "omg you're still using a phone with a keypad???"

P.S.: This gives me another criteria to my phone hunting - it's screen HAS to be larger than its keypad.

New Year's is a harmless annual institution, of no particular use to anybody save as a scapegoat for promiscuous drunks, and friendly calls and humbug resolutions.

-Mark Twain-

Little Grass had Chinese New Year reunion dinner last weekend!

Not that we haven't been 'united' before. In fact, we have been reuniting almost everyday at dinner time since Freshmen Orientation Camp 2008.

Anyway - it was loads of fun!!

Of course, it was partly because I won best dressed~~~~

=)

Ok la, I didn't technically win it, coz it was a draw between me and Theng but still~~~

*lalala I won best dressed*

Personally, I think it was a tough fight between Vincent and Theng; I was tearing myself into two, not knowing who to vote for.
aiya, should have voted for Vincent, then I don't have to draw with Theng anymore. Some more can get extra another $11. Ish. Lols kidding kidding~~

To whom it may concern: See!!!! I voted for you although technically you were my 'rival'! I'm sooooo honest!!!!

Here are the photos taken during CNY dinner at Xiao Dian Er:

Ethane and YY

Aww so sweet~~~

bodoh Zhi Vern take my ugly pic...

At the entrance of the restaurant

The pretty girls!

The dinner cost us over $200. But it was worth it coz all of us had a really great time.

Later that night, we had surprise birthday for Vincent!!!

Whee~~~

Okay, maybe I'm being a little hyped up today. Sorry.

Birthday boy!!

Tadaaa!!!


In my defense, I have a reaction towards alcohol; my face gets red pretty fast. They thought it'd be funny to compare me to Guan Gong.

You.

A million things are running through my head right now.

*****************************************************************************

I have so many things to say but I don't know where to start.

I miss you.

emoing.

(ok i know you guys are gonna start gossiping about my sudden change of mood and stuff. i don't care. gossip all you want, as long as i don't know about it.)

anaesthetics. sometimes i'd rather not have them.

You know those freak accidents where explorers find themselves trapped in the jungle and the only way to save themselves is to amputate their own limbs?

Doctors say these survivors managed to amputate themselves without anaesthetics because apparently, the human body has an amazing ability to excrete natural anaesthetics at dire times.

I think it's kinda the same with our feelings.

You know those times when your heart aches so much that you don't even feel it?

Like the times when you found out that The One wasn't exactly who you thought he was?

I think it's my brain refusing to accept the fact that's hurting me, and thus forcing my heart not to feel anymore. Problem is, I'm not only not feeling the bad stuff, I literally don't feel...

...at all.

It's like I'm a zombie.

Please, not now. I still have to study. Please...

P.S. : Don't ask me. Just. Don't.

camwhore

Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

omg Microsoft's wireless mouse is seriously damn good.

Quality comes with a price I'm willing to pay.

Like seriously. If you want a wireless mouse, get Microsoft.

Dad just bought my bro a Canon 500D camera plus some extra lens (whatever it is lah, I'm not a camera pro so no cam jargons around here) which cost him like RM 3k which of course makes me eligible to get that new Sony Ericsson Satio which is only like $ 900.

My parents got my bro a new camera; of course I'm gonna get a new phone!!!
I washed my previous phone in the washing machine, remember?

Anyway, with me in my new dress, we played with my bro's new toy.

We took like 90+ pics; I picked out the top 5 nicest, unphotoshopped pictures:









Will photoshop away my fat calves and arms, and then will upload more on Facebook.

Sorry for the short post; CNY has a lazy effect on me.

Toodles.

I'm like super pissed right now coz I stupidly upgraded my iPod Touch to 3.1.3 and now my jail broken stuff are all gone.

G.O.N.E.

Then, I somehow stupidly made the situation worse by trying to jail break my iPod again, and it went cuckoo and now my device is "brand new".

As in, you know how you reformat your PC and then when you restart it, you feel like you're using a brand new computer?

Yeah, free of clutter and free of 3000++ collection of songs.

No words can describe how pissed I am right now; no use saying the f word now, is there?

I'm just too disappointed for words.

After procrastinating for about a month and a half, I finally put down my foot and stop the irritation in my back tooth once and for all.

(Yeah, betcha didn't know I had a tooth decay which hurt whenever I ate sweet stuff)

Spent $170. 80 for teeth cleaning and polishing, 70 for filling, and 20 for consultation fees.

knnccb.

The dentist said "The reason you're having tooth decay is because you're eating too many sweets."

omg I felt like a kid being lectured by her parent on how sweets can cause toothaches.

I always thought having toothaches because of over-consumation of candies would never occur to me; in my world, they only ever happened to naughty kids in fables who wouldn't share their sweets with their siblings.

You know, like how my kindergarten teacher used to say: "The naughty boy finally had a toothache because he was selfish and didn't want to share his sweets with his younger brother."

I will now have to cut down on carbohydrates intake. So the dentist says.

=(

I love eating today. Hint: tomorrow is Mondae.

"Always serve too much hot fudge sauce on hot fudge sundaes. It makes people overjoyed, and puts them in your debt."

-Judith Olney

Sunday is here, tomorrow is doom.

I hate Mondaes.

Btw, they should spell the plural of each day of the week like that; kinda reminds me of sundaes. *yum*

I must say, I have been quite a good girl this semester, still (barely) keeping up with piling tutorials.

Can't say the same for lectures and tutorial classes, though.

In my first year, I felt REALLY guilty every time I missed a lecture, and I always made it a point to note down which lectures I'd missed so I could watch the recording at a later time.

Last Friday, I napped for 3 hours straight and goodness knows how many lectures I'd missed, and what subjects they were. The really bad (but kinda cool) thing about it is, I don't feel a tad guilty about it.

Oh gosh, what have I become?

Oh, right. A typical (at least that's what I'd like to think) second-year uni student.

I updated my iPod Touch and MY JAIL BREAK STUFF ARE ALL GONE!!!!! I HAVE TO JAIL BREAK MY IPOD TOUCH ALL OVER AGAIN!!!

$%#^4#@@!^#$!^%$* (Don't ask me; I was told that's what they use as replacements for coarse language)

Watched 14 Blades today. Nice movie.

8.5/10.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I don't do movie reviews. If you wanted that, go here.

Here's Ethane's birthday present!!!


Is that cool, or what?

I've been wanting so much to post this up. Couldn't do it till her birthday was over.

There's something I've been wanting to say...

At the expense of a risk...

Of having lots and lots of requests from friends after this, asking me to edit... you know, stuff.

Nah, it's a risk worth taking. I get to show off! Doesn't that beat it all?

*showing off* I Photoshopped it ALL BY MYSELF!!!

(As well as the blog heading picture of me in the hammock .)

I finally finished a piece of cross stitch. Will upload it here soon.

PS: I am so talented at photoshopping at cross stitching!! I should study Arts instead! Oh, how I flatter myself at times.

Online sales.

What is it with young female adults (or, more precisely, as I'd like to call them, overly ambitious girls who are barely of their teenage years) and blogshops?

I mean, I was pretty amazed at how these young girls, in their early twenties, manage to start their own blogshop, and their ability to earn some extra pocket money.

But now, I'm just getting bored of it.

They're EVERYWHERE.

And, they all sell the same thing. Dresses and sexy clothing. And they all claim they sell the latest fashion.

Like yeah, you do.

Everyone else does.

Plus (and this is a real big plus that I'm annoyed about), about 99% of them have retarded English.

Like seriously.

Only serious buyer (buyerSSSS!!! With the S! omg ur so stupid) are welcome.
Prices are fix (fixED, you dumbass, FIXED. ED.), do not negotiate.
First come first serve (s-e-r-v-e-D!!!) basis.

OMG, who are they kidding with unchecked grammar?

Let's face the facts - you're NOT going to expand your business through a little blogshop, on an insignificant website out of millions of others all over the world. What's more, it's not even your own domain. I can see Blogspot's hosting your business for you, and I don't think that's very professional now, is it?

Speaking of professionalism, SPELL CHECK AND GRAMMAR CHECK YOUR SHITLOAD OF BROKEN ENGLISH.

I'm not saying I have a problem with people with bad English, but it annoys me that people who are trying to promote their business talk like that. I don't think that's gonna give customers much confidence. At least not me.

No, I'm not jealous coz I can't start my own business online. In fact, I wouldn't even dream of it.

Yes, I would start a business if I could, and yes, I would advertise it online, but it would definitely NOT be an online business.

Young girls and their short-visioned business plans.

Good night.
