Time's passing really fast..No?

Hey peepos,

Been some time since I updated this page but seriously, at this moment, I shouldn't be. 

I should instead be working on my two other essays thats due next friday. 

I have barely started on these two essays so..i think i'm screwed. 

BUT Anyways, 

I have just 3 more weeks to go before I finish my first sem and I can't wait! 

Can't wait to just take a rest and catch up with the whole world. Cuz right now its so hard to balance work, social life and school. Juggling work and assignments was so bad that I didn't meet anyone during june. 

However, because most of my close friends are  flying overseas to study and stuff (you lucky people) i've been trying to make time and juggling everything to meet them before they fly and hence now, here I am barely starting anything on my assignments. 

But seriously, is it only me that finds that time is passing so damn fast? I feel like just yesterday I came back from Japan. But nooo,, its already been 5 months (As mentioned in my last blog post: Japan why are you so hard to let go? I overcame my phuket trip so easily...) 

It's been 5 months , my friend who went overseas to study, came back for winter break and going back again, fasting month passed and I can eat lunch with my malay friends. With all this happening I just thought "why so fast?" 

I don't know if it is because I am more aware of time or because  I am more busy now but I feel that time passes faster then when I was a kid. When I was a kid I had the impression that the sun was out longer and days took a long time to get over. But now, I just want time to stop and days to be longer. 24 hours is not enough. (Along with having only satuday and sunday as weekends is too short). 

If someone finds some scientific evidence that this is all in the brain or indeed time is passing fast as compared to the past please let me know. (Although I'm sure its not the latter). 

Well, I should be going back to my assignments. Its giving me a headache and I can't wait for it to be over. However, once this is over, I need to start studying for my exams (which I havent touched at all. I'm so screwed right). 

Probably will update a post when I'm swarmed with something and need a distraction. Hahaha. 

Cheers;

A little update...

Hey guys!!!
Whhhooot guess what guys I passed the 100 mark!!
Yes this would be my 101th post!!
haha amazing even how I managed to write 100 posts..
Anyways, I am finally done with 15 weeks of school
and am now preparing for my UTs/exams.
Urgh, its so sad how time passes so fast.
Especially this semester. It is gone just like that in a blink of an eye.

I really liked this semester because my class became close over the weeks
and I had really awesome facilitators. School didn't seem to bore me as much as my other sems did.
Also, not to mention I'm going for internship soon D':
Which means I probably won't see a lot of people until I graduate. I'm kinda sad about that.
Wish we had a longer sem 2. My heart isn't ready to go for intern.

Anyways, since I am supposed to be revising instead of writing a post,
I shall write till here.
No worries though, I will write a better post soon after my UT is over!

Cheers!

Goodbye 2013, Hello 2014

One of my Favorite Picture of the year
Taken in March on the journey back to Singapore from Parth 

As the blog post tittle says...

Goodbye 2013, Hello 2014!! 

Wow, it seems like with a blink of an eye, 2013 was gone. 

It felt like just yesterday when I typed my post to reflect on the year 2012. 

haha...I guess studying in Poly kind of screwed my years because we start school in April. 

So for the past 2 years, I feel that the year starts in april instead of Jan ><" 

Well this year, I honestly did a lot of things. I attended quite a number of concerts as well! 

The first concert of the year for me was All Time Low's and I must say I almost died attending it (yes I still remember my experience there. Also, this year, I decided to attend Baybeats for the first time! And yes, I must say I will go again next year (especially to see the japanese groups that comes here to perform!!)

Another notable concert I went to was Music Matter', a free concert that was held at clarke quay. I went to watch flumpool and that was the first time I was ever so close to a band. Like literally they walked right in front of me to the stage..though I went just in time for their stage I was super surprised when they walked in front of my eyes. I honestly enjoyed myself that night. 

The last concert of the year that I attended was the most fun and the one concert I was most satisfied with. One Ok Rock's concert. This concert was really memorable for me as I stood quite in front and also the fact that I was able to write a review and have it posted on my school's portal was what made me feel I achieved something. I think I wrote this before somewhere but rather then seeing my name there as the byline I was more happy of how my review was a featured review and one ok rock's concert picture dominates the top of the page ><. 

Saw Tomoya up close and I still cannot get over the fact that our eyes met *spazzes* 

  

So happy to see OOR graze the top page keke..Review's here 

Also this year, I managed to go to Perth :D (though it seemed like last year because I went before the start of year 2) Honestly before going to Perth I dreaded the trip and the fact that I wasn't going with my parents made me feel a bit burdened. However it was interesting to travel without my parents however it was tiring to stay formal '24 hrs' because I went with my aunt and my elder relatives. If I had the chance I would not mind going again but next time maybe with my friends or with my parents. ^^ 

Probably my fave shot of a sunset for the year

I also spent most of my days juggling school and work during the middle part of the year and it was probably the most tiring time of my life. However all these work paid off as I look at the salary I received, also I gained a lot of experience that is helping me in one of the module I currently take. Hence overall, I am grateful to have taken the chance to work there and do the different events which allowed me to meet all sorts of people.  

The last highlight of the year would probably how I have gained more freedom. It seems that each year, since I turned 18, my parents are literally giving me more space to breathe and I am thankful for the fact that they allowed me so much freedom now and I honestly appreciate it. 

IN CONCLUSION 

2013 was a year that opened up my eyes more. It also allowed me to experience a lot of things and see things from a different perspective. Though I barely had time for myself this year having to juggle school, work and social life, I would say that though I was tired I was still happy with how 2013 went and I hope that the year 2014 would allow me to experience new things as well. 

THOUGHTS FOR 2014...

My 'list of things to do' in 2014 would probably not be much as the past years I have done alot of things I wanted to do in 2013. Anyways, here is my list for 2014: 

1. To stay in shape 

This resolution would probably never change even if I managed to stay in shape. Honestly I don't really care about my weight it is more of how I want to retain the lines on my stomach and get rid of the 3 level bulge my stomach makes when I sit down. Also I need to get rid of my flabby arms before my mom calls me 'aunty' again. However I find this resolution very hard to complete every year because of how busy I become when school starts. But I will try my best to stay in shape and stay healthy this year. 

2. Go to concerts again 

Another resolution that would probably retain for the next few years is to attend as much concerts as I can. So far I havent have my eyes set on any concerts but I am definitely waiting for VIXX to come now ><" haha..(my inner kpop soul has once again came out all of a sudden and I am now obsessed with this group). As excited as I am, I hope I can get to see some good bands again here live. 

3. Go through internship smoothly. 

Not sure if this can be a resolution but I honestly pray and hope I will get through my internship days smoothly. I do not know where I am working at yet but I hope I am able to cope and work there smoothly. 

4. Fun Fun Fun 

As busy as I would be next year, i still want to have fun. I wish that I will be able to balance school, social life and my personal time better. ( I mean I have a lot of shows/dramas that are waiting for me so yes I need more time for myself next year...) 

5. Fifa World Cup 

YES FINALLY THE YEAR FOR WORLD CUP!! I waited too long for this to happen haha..hope that I would be able to subscribe and watch the matches!! This would definitely be the highlight of the year! 

So yes, I do not know what next year would have installed for me but either way I hope I will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed 2013 and may everyone stay healthy and enjoy the upcoming year as well. 

There may be hard times but they will always pass. Before you know it, it would be 2015 *scary* 

With that, I bid farewell and Cheers :D 

LLamas can party too

Hey all!!! 

Christmas is next week!! Have you gathered all your presents yet?! 

For those who haven't have fun shopping with all the sales going around now! 

I basically bought 2 clothes for myself in the sale even though I overspent this month keke.. 

(inner girl coming out here) 

Well, I had a busy yet relaxing week and also I had loads of fun. 

Monday, I went shopping with my burden friend and did my nails for the first time. 

You have no idea how awkward I was having someone do my nails, 

however I am in awe cuz my nails came out super pretty >< 

Not to mention, it only costs $7 :D 

However that is not the highlight here in the post. 

The highlight is...LAMA SECRET SANTA PARTY 

I swear my mom was more excited then me for this day to come. 

We started preparing from 12 and it was really fun. 

The lamas came at around 4.35 after being caught up in a storm. 

(The storm had really outdone itself that day, it felt like it didnt rain for 5 years!! Even with umbrellas we were all drenched from head to toe!) 

We had dinner, chatted and just really had fun. 

It has been a while since the lamas chatted together. 

Since school is busy we really haven't sat down to have fun. 

Then came the exchanging of presents and it was really funny. 

Sadly my mortal knew it was me..and I guess my santa right!! hehe. 

However to be able to wear the dress the santa gave  me, I need to lose my arm fats..

That could be my resolution for next year ^^/ 

After that it was the small gift exchange and honestly it was so fun! 

The gifts I got was all so nice and that day, we really seemed like family. 

I had miss the times when were all together having fun. 

Anyways, I shall leave this post with the pictures from that day ^^ 

Cheers :D 

One family. One Lama. Christmas 2013 

Cupcakes made by Belle~~

Happy Lamas ><

My Santa- Ah Bian.
Thank You for the presents!!

My Mortal- Brindz
Hope you like the presents~~ hee..

Letters written by the different lamas. Thanks for the messages guys <3

A dress from my santa!!

Night

The night has always been calming to me since I was young.
I'm not quite sure myself why it has always been so.

Was it because of the darkness?

Or the fact that the dark skies with stars spreaded out made me feel free.

Or was it the fact that when night fell, everything just stopped. 

The phone stops ringing, the parents stop fussing.. I was free like the birds that flew in the skies during the day.

When I was young, when night fell it was my time to feel free. Opening the curtains and lying on my bed thats placed beneath the windows to get a glimpse of the stars.

The stars were my company now and then.
Just looking at them shine gave me comfort.

As I grew up and everything around me became busy and fast. The night was the only time where everything stopped. It was also a time for me to divulge in things I wanted to do. Looking at the cars zooming on the roads. Either back home or to a night shift. Everything below was still busy but occasionally it just stops.
No cars, no sounds, just the stars, me and the occasional breeze.

When night falls I become someone else. I strip off every thing I show to others and just be me.

The weak and vulnerable one. The one who wants freedom. The one who wants to be cared. The one who wants to be loved. The one who does things that she dosent want others to see and be judged for.

No one smiles everyday nor care for others if one does not care for oneself first.

On days I cry, on days I laugh, on days I pray to stars hoping it might work. However, many times these days I breathe in chemicals to be one with the night and be lost in the darkness.

Freedom.  Safety.  Love.
These are what the night brings me.
They accompany this solemn soul of mine like how they probably have accompanied others.  

Back from another rough week

Hey all!!
Back to do an update with 3 songs that have been stuck in my head :)
The first is R U Crazy by Conor Maynard.
I honestly didnt think this song would be from him so I was really shocked when I saw the MV for this song on TV. I liked it as it was frequently on the radio but I also dont seem to hear who sang it.
But either way the lyrics and the beat are good and the chorus just really sticks to me head.

The second is Pakistan by Mayhem X Antiserum. I rarely listen to Trap music and its even rare for me to listen to a Trap song till the end but this one is really good. I don't know the beat and the use of the effects just really draws me in..Its like it has this 'Swag' feel (excuse my use of modern language).

The third song is Great Escape by Cinema Staff!! I am so happy that the 2nd ending theme for Attack of Titan was by cinema staff!! I have listened to their songs before I realised they were used in the currently famous anime and their songs are really good. The lyrics and their songs kind of mix an indie and rock feel together. Theres  this light feeling in their music though its rock. To me, its very japanese (dont ask me to try and explain it..its kinda hard)

So yeap theres my weekend recommendation!!
This week for me was really tiring and stressful so I am glad its the weekend.
Really, if this is going to continue for the next whole sem I would rather just die.
The awkwardness, The sadness, The frustration,
All this emotion just came to me as each day passed.
Many times as I sat in class I asked myself
"What am I doing here?"
This became more often after I was asked the question "What do you like to do/What do you want to do in the future?" by my Portfolio supervisor.
I came into this course because I had no other place to go
and now I am at a dead end to find something I like.
Did I really choose the right path?
All these thoughts was what I struggled with the past week.

Hopefully as time passes things will be better.
Okay then till the next post!

Cheers!

Goodbye Holidays and Hello to a new term

Hey all!!!
Well, today is my last day of holiday and tommorow onwards its school all over again.
As every student should remember to make a 'BACK-TO-SCHOOL LIST"
For me I always tend to do a "Back-To-School-Playlist"

So, for today's post I will share with you all my back to school playlist.

A Skylit Drive 

I happened to chance upon this band as I was scrolling through youtube again (as usual) 

and some of their songs are a bit loud but hey, we need a little loud music to wake up to or 

when you are frustrated after school.

Recommanded songs: 

- Rise 

-Just Stay

- Unbreakable 

Switchfoot 

I used to love switchfoot when I was younger and recently I decided to find some of their songs again. 

Some of their songs like 'Awakening' is pretty refreshing. 

 Recommanded Songs: 

- Dare you to move 

-Dark Horses 

-Awakening 

- Afterlife 

Crossfaith 

A band that recently came to singapore for a concert with Bring me the horizon and a band I am recently digging (ALOT). Crossfaith. A metalcore band that mixes the usual heavy rock sounds with some electronic music. Its kind of refreshing and new to me and so to those who likes metalcore but yet like electronic music, try listening to their songs. Also (being half jap) I'm super super proud for the fact japan has such a group. They even managed to go on Vans Warped Tour. Now that's a definite accomplishment for any band. 

Recommanded Songs: 

- Monolith 

-Jagerbomb 

- We are the future 

Other Songs that are on my list

You Make Me- Avicii
Stay the night - Zedd Feat. Hayley Williams
Asu he (Towards Tommorow) - Galileo Galilei
BelovedxSurvival- Gero
Very Good - Block B
Shake the world - G-dragon
Do I Want To Know - Arctic Monkeys
A love like war - All Time Low  ft. Vic Fuentes
Guren no Yumiya - Linked Horizon
A light that never comes- Linkin Park feat. Steve Aoki.

So I guess that would be the end of my post today.
In time, I will try to update as often as possible
Cheers :D

Holiday Post

The one who has barely blogged over the holidays is finally blogging now!! 

I'm here to do a massive post again cuz honestly my blog has been stagnant for a while. 

Also I realised I didnt do a monthly picture post so I thought I'm just going to do a Holiday picture post. 

Basically I am just going post the things I have been doing this holiday. 

(Which later you will see but it revolves around work, work and more work) 

 Skies & Sunsets 

The month of september, I remember it being hot but around the last week of september it started to rain once in a while. However still I got pretty decent shots of the sunset from time to time.

For the month of the october, I managed to take a shady picture of the sunrise (Due to the heavy downpour before the sun came up)

Overall, honestly each day I was happy to see the sunset because it meant I finally got through the day.
But really, the past few weeks have been tough for me because I had work constantly and waking up was hard.

 Food

The top left picture was my dinner at Brozeit which is where my parents celebrated their wedding anniversary (They brought me along though I told them to just go themselves). Had awesome german beer which I had fallen in love with. The food was not to bad.

 This holiday I ate alot at home because I was too tired to eat and it seems that everytime I ask people if they want grab dinner they are busy. I seem to always ask people at bad timings.

Then on off days, I tend to grab a drink alone (cuz no one is free again or I just became too lazy to ask anymore) I recently tried this tequilla sunrise thing and I will never ever touch it again. It tasted terrible..to me at least. I can never like hard liqour unless someone mixes it for me..

Lola's Cafe

  On one of my off days, I went to visit this cafe with cheryl. The Cafe is just a few minutes walk from Kovan MRT Station. We ordered some food. (Well we thought it was 'some' but honestly we over-ordered. Fries Overload). Their nacho fries were awesome..I think they were called nacho fries..and their Latte was not so bad too.

It was one of those rare days I got an off day so it was nice to just hang out somewhere quiet.

They had a unique table as well!! It seemed to be an old sewing machine that had been reused as a table..

Overall it was a good experience though I feel bad I couldn't finish the food.

Well as I said, the month of September and October was the months of work. Though it was tiring and honestly I felt like I had no life, cuz I couldn't get a rest at all this holiday, after each event was done, I felt so happy. 

The Tri-factor series has finally ended and it ended with a special visit by Allan Wu and Bobby Tonelli. They are really handsome in real life. 

I then got to see what Mountain Biking is all about when I helped out at the session with the pro whereby the pro taught some tips to regular mountain bikers. It was really cool to see them in action. (Yes I timidly trekked down the hill to see what was going down)

Then recently, we just finished our last big event which is the Golf Day. It was fun but tiring and really I got sleepy there. But it was nice because I got to talk to alot of people (which is rare for me because I don't normally like human interaction). 

This week should be my last week working so...hopefully I can get a decent rest when school reopens and I don't have to rush around anymore. 

 So that was my picture post for the holiday month. 

And I still have one more week of holidays to go. 

Hopefully next week I can fall sick and just stay at home all day. 

I really miss just lazing around and I am just sad that I can't do that before school reopens. 

Anyhow, have a great day ahead 

Cheers :D
