Yay I'm done with the first semester of my BA. Hopefully I'll be given a pass for this one. I'll have to crack my brain for a proposed plan next year. My four years in Lasalle will come to a close next May and I'm really glad that it'll be over soon. Not that I'm sick of learning but learning can't exactly bring money in for you. I always think, you can't learn much in an institution. You have to be out there getting experiences, falling down getting back up. The school is just an excuse to keep ourselves from entering the dog eat dog world for the time being. It's sort of like a place to build your basic network first. Oh well, it's time to grow out of the weekly lectures and painting classes. I will miss the time in foundation though 'cos I think I picked up more skills in foundation than when I started moving on from level one. I will miss the sculpture classes, chinese ink classes, drawing classes and graphic novel classes. They were short but it was all so sweet. I need to start planning my future.

I'm watching SG idol now and I must say, as a viewer, really, it is just so hard to listen to any more of it! I'm not going declare who now, but this girl yodels and screeches too much. I always believe that if a person can't reach a note and deliver it perfectly, they either go off tune or yodel. It's okay if you add it a little here and there but oh my god, just stop with the alpine mountain to mountain yodelling already! 

I don't know man, but it seems like a lot of them are so head over heels in love with their own voices that they're not delivering the songs to the best of their abilities and I'm not trying to insult the hosts but they really need to expand their vocabulary and stop with the gossip news among the idols because you see, we are not fucking interested! I hope I'm speaking for the other viewers as well but if you really did care then I’m sorry to say you’re miserable.
 

This is what I think, Singaporeans don't care. We just don't! Our perspectives and expectations are so sensationalized by the American media that we're so used to the elite already. Yea and I really can't stand people who speak with an accent when you're so fucking Uniquely Singapore. 

Anyway, hah! This dude didn't even put his heart into singing his number. He just seemed like he wanted to end his song asap. I haven't seen anyone, choose the right song to match his or her vocal capacity. They've all either picked songs that are obviously sung by collectively first-class singers or songs that are way too polished for them. But man! I've always thought Simon Cowell as the baddest male judge but Ken has just taken the mean factor up a whole lot of notches! He is brutal and I like it =D But perhaps he should encourage the singers a little bit more.

The show hasn't ended yet so I'm just going to talk about the contestants a little bit more okay like this guy right now...I just don't get why they always want to play the damn guitar, I mean, just sing, JUST SING the goddamn song! You know, just because you've got similar voice texture to your idols doesn't mean you can plagiarize. Somebody learn from Adam Lambert please!

Okay enough, I conclude that the one to beat this year is either Tabitha Nauser or Syltra Lee.

So I was actually on my way to school and then I decided for Faye to drop me off at the library instead because I was feeling very lonely and felt like I had to be near home for the rest of the afternoon. I don't like the idea of having my sisters being home while I'm marching the grounds of Lasalle alone. I think I'm too attached to home, that or maybe I just don't like being in school. Ok yeah I don't like being in school.

I meant to borrow books that move along the lines of Singapore's Cultural Background but I ended up reading a few extracts of Lee Kuan Yew's beliefs on merger with Malaysia. I always find myself reading books with no relation to what I'm supposed to do for my major topic and end up with jack shit on my research topic. Like the other day while I was in NLB looking for the same subjects I did today, I ended up reading the diaries of Lieutenant General Tadamichi Kuribayashi from the book about Iwo Jima. History books have always intrigued me; I found that out when I took up History in secondary school. I even thought of myself as becoming an aspiring historian! or perhaps a paleontologist or paleobotanist after I watched the first movie of Jurassic Park. I'd much rather unearth physical objects found rooted to the core of the planet than metaphorical meanings found in texts. I want to be able to explain causes! But I guess I'll leave that ambition to my next life.

So anyway, the reasons why I decided to move off from the Shelf of Treasures were the Reference Section sign, the occupied tables that were taken up by a lot of other seemingly enthusiastic library-goers and that my monthly period had decided to come to append to my already apathetic mood to look for reading materials. You'd think I'd leave right? No, I took myself to the general section and read this book on how so many black people were convicted of crimes they never committed because of racial discrimination in America and then I moved on to the fictional section where I picked out two novels and an urban dictionary and borrowed them.

So today, I did no favours for my major but no worries though, there is still tomorrow and so many more days to come. Have faith, I tell myself!

I can't wait for Alice in Wonderland to make its debut here next year. Tim Burton has really outdone himself this time and I'm really looking forward to it because the graphics look really impressive, not to mention the characters in it as well. Whichever movie Burton comes up with, it'll always be a yay in my book!

 I just hate it when I ask the simplest questions but end up getting retorts. I want honest answers but they're always so hard to come by and when I do answer honestly, some people think that I'm being unresponsive/rude/uninterested. I mean, if you've made the effort to ask something after rolling it through your head, isn't it more polite to answer the question in the most straightforward manner? Truth hurts buggers, you either take it or talk to a mirror.

Rrrrrr...Just started class today, we didn't exactly lunge into the topics and discussions of our majors just little reminders of what is to come in the coming semesters. This last year's going to be a lot easier on us, exclusive of drawing projects which I detest with all my heart because we constantly get self proposed themes which I can never understand. I can go on about the pros and cons of it all but I won’t because I’ve already gone through them with myself and it makes much more sense to me once than to reiterate them here.

On a lighter note! There are so many new faces in my class this term so I'm hoping to see more established topics being picked on rather than the past topics like "subconscioussss" or dreamsssss". It irks me. They’re irksome. Any sensible person would feel the same way.

Anyhow, I’m going to be busy with the thesis, proposals, discussions and whatnots so I hope I’ll make the best of my last year in Lasalle. Till next post!

Whoa. it's been so many months I'm surprised I haven't deleted this blog but why should I? I need the entries to laugh at. Kinda miss my xanga blog, it's so empty now even though I've reopened it. The entries are all gone and I've posted more in xanga than I had in here. Right now I'm doing this stupid self-proposed drawing project and can't say I've gone far with this proposal because really, what hasn't been done before? Everthing is kitsch to the bones and not to mention, I've written an entire essay about how contemporary painting is a mere replication. The irony. Here I am in an art school trying to make a name for myself and yet I'm saying stuff like creative art is extinct. Technically it's dead. It only revives when someone does a shocking thing when we least expect it. Like so suddenly draw a realistic portrait of you eating an apple. You'd be impressed but the novelty wears off after a while. You hang your portrait on the wall and look at it only when you have the time. Other than that, you just walk by it and forget about it being there because you've gotten so used to its presence. Sure you'll remember the artist that painted you and still be in awe by the likeness of it all but it doesn't surprise anymore. You already know all that. Get what I'm saying? I'm just tired of being pushed to make something of my own time and again. Hmmm.

I’m still feeling groggy (too much alcohol and too much fuss) from Saturday night’s partying and try as I might to try to remember what happened; it’s beyond my reach because the memory just won’t stick. Maybe just a little, like, me telling someone I needed to throw up and so in the next few seconds I purged continuously perhaps on the floor and perhaps in the bushes. Hopefully I didn’t leave any of it on someone but if I did then ookaay....

Before the overindulgent Saturday night, I caught The Dark Knight twice the previous day, I know, what the hell was I thinking right? Well apparently, I wasn’t thinking straight but I didn’t mind it at all since I had a second chance to feast my eyes on Heath Ledger’s dramatic talent on the big screen. It’s not just him that I got to enjoy; Christian Bale’s appealing face and all the excessive blowing up too. I did get a few heart leaps on my second screening because I was a little more awake than the first. I heard a few jokes that I missed out the first time.

Stretching my social life at the beach the next day was a big mistake and I am feeling somewhat sick to the stomach now owing to the lack of rest or maybe I haven’t been able to entirely rid off the liquor in my system yet.

Just an hour ago I felt the vomit but after typing out this entry and talking on the MSN forth and back, I feel a lot better. Who knew that the internet could be a place of curing!

Yesterday morning started with a jog around the Clementi Stadium after that a quick lunch at Jurong Entertainment Centre followed by a sauna sitting and a swim at Huimin’s place. I didn’t feel the aches until today but it didn’t seem like we did a lot of work. Although, I did weigh myself last night and look as if I did lose a little weight. I don’t think it’s the exercise though because it wasn’t much. We mostly sat in the sauna room, talking and trying to stay alive inside.

I did a whole lot of ironing today and I even told Fh that I thought of giving up. Sounds funny because it’s just flattening of fabric, right? But to go through each piece one by one is really mind-numbing. Anyway I’m glad they’re done and I can look forward to Dblo tonight.

You know sometimes I really have this extreme dislike of getting messages on the phone. I suppose I just have a problem with lots things. I dislike too many things that come about so naturally. Maybe I have a concrete idea as to why I have an aversion to the people and situations I come across but I choose to ignore the problem and when I ignore the problem, they’ll swim back to my remembrance and make me feel ill at ease.

In any case, can’t think or write much now because I’m getting hungry. Till next post!opeHop

I am feeling hungry now and I don’t know why because last night we had so much meat it’s RIDICULOUS. It felt like we had ourselves a full supply of food for a three day hike. I didn’t have a good sleep because of all the beef, pork, lamb, chicken, ham, just all the animal protein that they serve in Carnivore. The thought of meat last night after dinner made me want to gag so much; I had to not think about the vomit caught in my gullet for the rest of the night.

I think my stomach is okay now but I am not going to eat greatly today and I am looking forward to THE JOG tomorrow! I hope it will materialize because if it doesn’t, I will need to pray on the toilet bowl for a really, really long time.

Had lunch at Botak Jones with the trio today then Fh had to leave us for school. So we made our way to Raffles City for a bit of retail healing.

The prices for the clothes were so pricey; I don’t think I can afford them without slogging through a job for at least a year first. But there were quite a few pretty tops that I would’ve liked to splash out on if not for a strong strength of mind; I would’ve been penniless by now. Although it’s effortless to splurge, earning that same amount back in the future would be harder to get hold of.

After digesting most of our lunch we traipsed from Raffles City to City Link Geláre for the ice-cream waffle. Afterwards it’s more or less of a little window shopping in Marina Square. We walked till our stomachs hurt but I think it didn’t stop us from walking on because we were so free.

After all the heavy lunch and ice-cream, I need a good jog to shed the calories away.

I haven’t been mentioning school for a long time and I’m probably not going to talk about it now, ha-ha! After all, I’m still having my holidays and every time when I get near my school I wince at the sight of it. I have a love hate affiliation with Lasalle. It’s not just the school; it’s with people I know too.

Today I had lunch with Fh and Fjia at my Dad’s then we went to get cocoa powder for him and afterwards Fh went to school and I drove the rest of us back home.

The minute I got home, the cramp started to kick in and it literally kicked me hard. I had a lot of physical internal struggle so I wasn’t in the best of mood and vigour to do as much as I would’ve liked to. Like for example, vacuum the floor which I think I would’ve fainted midway and doing a bit of weights would’ve added more pain to me in the flesh. I’m still feeling a little sore from yesterday’s beach game even though I didn’t play a lot.

The weather condition these days is too cloudy for my taste. It gets gloomy too quick so you can’t have your jam of fun at the beach. I only enjoy the supper nights when the lame weather eases off.

I experienced a near asshat’s rude attitude just a few days ago and it got me so mad I couldn’t enjoy my fondue at Jo’s place. It’s sufficient enough that I feel blameworthy for calling off a date but to tell me to abstain from alcohol the night before another decided date was insufferable, it was like a slap in the face. He made me feel like I did it on purpose. It stings when a stranger makes these pointless comments. I don’t need people telling me what I should or shouldn’t do and I sure as hell can handle my own body, thank you. When it comes to other people’s business, in which it involves people that you know not, it’s better to stick your nose somewhere else.

I just wish for a better tryst in the future.

School has started for kids and I’m still wedged in a month of holiday. Can’t sleep most of the nights and most of the time, as tired as I am, I can’t fall asleep quickly at night and I end up feeling so restless with my eyes open that  I wished I could do without sleep. I would lay in my bed...start the retrospections with half closed eyes, time would gradually elapse and by the time I feel like I’ve finally won the war, it’s already 6am and I’d think to myself “WTF!! Did I win!?”

Who would’ve thought sleeping would be such a pain in the ass every so often plus like we haven’t got enough to worry about in the day already!

We went to the zoo last Thursday and I have to say, that the zoo haven’t changed at all. Other than the vast number of baboons, in which we spent a huge amount of our time gazing at, the other kinds seem to have subtracted in number. I get pleasure from looking at the monkeys the most especially the lemurs and the ones looking like they’re wearing white gloves. They look so out of character which was so damn endearing. Anyway we were almost drained after we got out of the zoo but we managed to make our way to Clementi for dinner at Botak Jones.

The next night we hung out at Phuture and it was one of the yuckiest nights ever. I wonder where the DJ left his flavour for music at.

R&B my ass.

So for the whole of today, I spent it with my Mom hanging around Bugis area and Plaza Singapura. I was surprised that we didn’t wind each other up while we were out shopping. We get along well but sometimes she can be a bit stubborn and for an obstinate person like me being with my Mom, things aren’t always pretty. She’ll give me her white eye after I present to her, my many phrases of disgruntlement, also that’s how it goes when we don’t see eye to eye on certain stuff which in fact happen quite habitually.

This is something I find quite encouraging because that’s one of our ways of communicating though not very healthy. Ha-ha! Not like we do this daily, although we seem to achieve it without prior notice quite often but at least we don’t ignore one another and the same thing goes for my other siblings as well. It’s just harmless bicker which we cannot survive without.

Like what they say about the Hulk, in which anger can easily be translated into courage and it does take a lot of courage to speak straightforwardly. It doesn’t always come in a mild way but somehow we have to get the point across. Who wants to be affronted by a gentle speech? It’s a little bit narrow-minded don’t you think? We’re always saying things like “if you have something to say, say it to my face!” so why not? But of course, do it to people who can take it. We don’t want someone departing from a panic attack because of our insensitivity.

So Sunday was spent doing a bit of a cycle at East Coast Park. I can't say that I enjoyed the whole activity but at least it gave me a bit of an exercise. I still prefer the night cycling phase when we had chalets to fall back on to nurse our swollen butts.

We used up the rest of the night playing in the arcade which I suck at and then catching Kung Fu Panda. The movie just wasn’t on par with Horton and I felt a bit disappointed at the repetitive humour dominated mostly by Jack Black. I always thought he was funny but I think I may be wrong now! Come to think of it, I hardly watch movies with him in it. Perhaps the movie would have been more hysterical with Eddie Murphy or Jim Carrey being the panda. There is still a bunch of movies I’d want to watch and here it goes...

-the dark knight
-the incredible hulk
-the x-files
-jurassic park 4
-harry potter and the half-blood prince
-the happening

Come Monday, my sisters and I went down to Vivo City for a bit of lunch and then back home to slumber our useless Monday away. Folks holding monotonous corporate jobs might call it Monday Blues but I’d easily tell mine as Monday Flew.
