I introduced this video to szeying but she refuses to watch, hahaha chicken. :D

WARNING: DO NOT WATCH IF YOU'RE OF THE FAINTHEARTED.
It's like a very very mild version of Saw (actually I think this is a bad comparison). This is just part of the intro though, I have the full movie if anybody's interested. :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5lbZCGrt4Y

So this part of the movie (as shown in the video) is about the girls' school project with the theme being their "neighbourhood" or "life in their town" or something, but they chose to film themselves dying in all sorts of ways. O_O

Disturbing much?

Acting on impulse, I went running at around 10.45pm on friday night.

After that, this is what I added to my journal.

Not emo la! Just being bothered by my "dilemma" mentioned in the previous entry..

HI ALL, I'VE BEEN HOME SINCE 6PM & HERE I AM, FEELING REALLY EXCITED.

This is the earliest that I've been home since I started working & man, IT FEELS REAL GOOD HO HO HO. Im so excited with the fact that I finally have the time to do stuff.

(BORING RANTING)
Okay look, I'm in this dilemma. Im currently working at this place, which I dont particularly like. My contract ends next next tues though, but my supervisor & the manager expect me to extend, because I did say Im free till end may. BUT the thing is, I really dislike my supervisor. Not because she's mean like my previous job experience but her work attitude sucks. Like she's really lazy and all, making me do the work while she walks around, giggle on the phone, tease her colleages etc. And Im so good at photocopying/filing documents now, that I finished my work at ultra speed with the same level of accuracy. GUESS WHAT SHE MADE ME DO THEN? Punch holes for all the documents accumulated, sort them into piles & mindless things like that just to pass the time. I kind of feel that Im wasting my time. Moreover, she tends to leave out parts of her instructions & when I've completed everything, THEN she will tell me that I did it wrongly. See? Waste of time.

SOOOOOOO, I dont know if I should lie to get out of this shit. Lie because it's the only thing that will work. Trouble is, I feel bad because I think partly the reason for them to hire me is because I said I can work till end of may. AND I still got to talk to the manager again (my supervisor was being anal & forced me to tell the manager that I can work until end of may only. I mean, if she hasnt forced me to, I'll be more okay with telling the manager), and he's a busy man, I would feel so bad for interrupting his time with minor issues like mine. Fuck. I dont know if I should just kill myself by staying on or just leave.

Besides, if I stay on, I would miss out precious times like watching the jjvb matches. :(

FUCK.
(END OF RANTING)

Well, I've no plans for this weekend because everyone's busy. Dont know if I should go out draw or something. Hmmmm. The possibilities are endless! I really want to make sure that I spend my weekend to the fullest.

You know, once you start loving musicals, other songs just pale in comparison ._.
Les Miserables is awesome ho ho ho.
I shall attack other musicals soon. :D

I stopped reading The Catcher in the Rye after chapter 3 I think. The fact that the young protagonist says "goddam" every other sentence drives me nucking futs. He reminds me of boys-who-think-its-cool-to-swear way too much. I tried to see it in a very literature way though, like hmmmm, he's struggling with his identity?...
Didnt work.

So I jumped ship to The Virgin Suicides, which yn told me its disturbingggg, and I thought "OH GOODY." I'm so morbid hahhaha.

Been starting to get into musicals these days. Phantom of the Opera's songs are on loop every morning because they seems to have a calming effect on me when I feel so gloomy with having to go to work at that shity place.. Oh, can you believe it, Les Miserables' soundtrack is totally SOLD OUT. SOLD. OUT. HMV, Gramaphone, That CD Shop... EVERYWHERE! O_O

Luckily there's youtube. Go youtube "Les Miserables 10th Anniversary: Castle on a Cloud". Young Cosette (AKA Hannah Chick) is so amazingly talented. I could so feel her childlike wonder at this imagined castle & then her fear at being sent out alone into the dark just by watching her expressions and listening to her voice. Gosh.

Today, met up with clique after work for dinner at Sumo House & then for tangyuans!

Stella ghostly.

Stella hiding tangyuans in her cheeks.

Sesame seed paste & peanut paste on the teeth (seokpeng's idea).

We certainly do look retarded ._.

She's relentless.

Sha was attempting to tell me this supposedly-very-funny-riddle-cum-joke, but the answer I gave her made her laughed like crazy instead.

Guinea-pigs at the pet shop, which Linda calls them Budgsie (sp?).

Sha asks, "Which one is Budgsie?"

Linda, "Everyone."

Apparently this petshop had just restocked their hamsters, guinea-pigs and rabbits, so almost everyone gave that high pitched & breathy "AWWWW SO CUTE" when we passed by the shop (especially Linda). I swear I didnt though. Cool girls like me dont do such stuff.

Blogging about little details like these because little details are precious.

Besides, life's too boring right now unless you count photocopying 2 metres long construction drawings as exciting. (The photocopying machine jammed & spoilt afterwards btw.)

Even though I'm absolutely tired because of work & my fruitless search for Les Miserables' soundtrack, I feel that I should absolutely, absolutely blogged about this windows breaking, ground shaking, trees collapsing, news..

RVEL.
GOLD.
WITH.
HONOURS.
:D

The juniors are sooo hyped up about it, which is so cute hahah. Im glad too that my batch's people are also rather excited & happy for the jnrs.

At the same time, I understand that for the seniors who graduated, there's probably an underlying sense of sadness/bitterness/something. Of course as much as we share the juniors' joy of attaining the previously-thought-unattainable-dream, we would much rather this happen to us during OUR syf's. Had probably thought of and imagine how the tears should have been replaced with this inifinite crazily mad happiness..

But well, that was in the past, so move on. Let's just hope that there will be more moments like this in the years to come, because the el spirit lives on. :D

I'm so, so, so proud of you all really.

(shit, i feel damn old as i typed this ;__; )

And I just wanna say, FUCK THOSE WHO HAD LOOKED DOWN ON EL IN THE PAST. SMELL THIS, HA.

Today:
Met partner & we went shopppingggg. Or rather she shopped & I tried to get her to get everything. Her nose was running away though, get better soon! :D

Yesterday (sat):
Met trish to get my Brickforge purchases. And we spent a bomb at Xin Wang & talked for hours. In the end, I felt so happy & full, good food!

Sooooo, I went home & because of what we talked about earlier, I decided to draw the visual form of my favourite (& frequently mentioned) analogy of life as a jigsaw puzzle & people as the pieces.

Recent book purchases! -->

The Lovely Bones is a damn frigging awesome book by the way. I rank it as high as Time Traveler's Wife. The story is so touching (to me) that, I would strongly recommend people not to read it on public transport because I almost embarrassed myself by crying. Huh ;__;"

She closed her journal & tucked it into her bag. Close at hand was a place that soothed her. The penguin house at the zoo.
We spent the afternoon together there, Ruth sitting on the carpeted seat that ran the length of the exhibit, her black clothes making only her face and hands visible in the room. The penguins tottered and clucked and dived, slipping off the habitat rocks like amiable hams but living under water like tuxedoed muscles. Children shouted and screamed and pressed their faces against the glass. Ruth counted the living just as much as she counted the dead, and in the close confines of the penguin house the joyous screams of the children echoed off the walls with such vibrancy that, for a little while, she could drown out the other kinds of screams.

I always think that people who like penguins are cute. :D

MOMENTS THAT I MISSED & LOVED.
In no particular order.

jjvb.

That's All.

el jnrs.

og1.

rvel.

jj PAE.

noobies.

og14 leaders.

This was the clique back then.

4L.

SYF 05! This probably appeared on my blog 2889668 times, but it's that awesome. :D

(someone in this photo farted backstage during rehearsals & made the entire crew faint)

FIRST PHOTO, the beginning.

How cute is this mans. :D

Sometimes I think I spend too much time looking at old photos & feeling nostalgic.

The past is a reminder of who we once were, and how it led us to where we are now.

Look forward, I tell myself.

Actually, the present is freaking awesome.

Here & Now.

Anyway, looking at the old photos remind me of my drastic hairstyles over the years. And I have this sudden urge to get spikey hair again! ho ho ho ho. :D

(To whom it may concern, I've given up on my dreams of keeping a mohawk ;_; Next lifetime maybe...)

The night is alive with sounds.

Anyway, I got a new art journal again! :D This is probably like my fifth, and its my fifth not because I have been doing alot of art journaling but because I can never be satisfied with the book itself. This resulted in four art journals gathering dust with only about 2 pages filled up in each.

But this time is different! I can sense it ho ho ho. Well firstly, the cover is of toy british soldiers and most importantly-ohmygoodnessgosh, it has an open spine! How freaking awesome is that! :D (I know that at this point, people would be "huh". It's okay, I know the things I like are very different from the regular random people.)

Okay, here's one of the entry. It's not the first but its something slightly more than doodles.
I drew it when I came home after the first day at work. : /

Yeah most unfortunately, depression stimulates my creativity ALOT.

Hello my lovelies, I hope life is good.

Me, I just got a job which irritatingly, isnt slacker shit.
&%*$#!%~!!!

Apart from that though, I had an awesome time with the loves of my life.
Clique, partner, bestfriend! :D:D:D

First up, CLIQUE THEME PARTY: We The Men.
And since I uploaded almost everything (except the unglam ones duh) onto facebook, I shall just post some of the group pics here, edited with poladroid!
(The stupid poladroid told me that the "cartridge" is "empty" and that I have to close the program to "reload". I know they're trying to be realistic but this is ridiculous.)

Oh, and I just wanna say that the party was fun, I really enjoyed it & I love yaaa' alllll. :D
