I collected my Holga today at 3pm, 30.03.2008.










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

Will update.

This week was a mix-mash of goods and bads. Today, for example, there was so much bad luck. My Holga Day got postponed, I bathed and fell asleep so I woke up with authentic bedhead hair, was therefore late for biz law tutorial despite taking the taxi, a button dropped from my blouse, was called upon to read aloud a section of the SOGA which I read wrongly, walked from bustop to bustop in the teasing drizzling rain to flag a taxi, and did an ushering job which also involved impromptu waitressing . Still, things do always turn for a better don't they. They did. =)

Tomorrow. I can predict tomorrow. Shall be a lovely day, hopefully sunny, with a dose of Chan-Dah-Jamie-eeLeen Magic. <3

In my pre-Holga excitement I have absolutely ignored the existence of the Caplio, but I brought the Digital out today. This shall be photo of the day ( ok I only took 5 photos today ).

GHOST.

Happy 10th Anniversary SHINHWA. =)

I recieved a whole lot of messages and PMs today. Plus excited mother.

Glimpse of the upcoming 9th album.

Night.

Holga is one week away, but I have been lurking in the forums already.

< To remove film, hide under the blanket. Use a black shirt to be safe. Emerge sweaty, it's fun! > : NOT MY WORDS.

< Don't ask, don't think. Just shoot. >

If my first roll turns out like shit, I will sit on the holga. I will burn the plastic.

I don't know whether she needed me to unleash her emotions, or she wanted comfort. She din't get what she looked for. I was expressionless. Blank.

If there was something I could do to ease all that baggage, I would. Some people like to carry their stuff with them in their lives, but not you.

Things are dicey, others are immutable, but we will move along.

You have not reached the vertex yet.

MSN with Pei:

Her chair --
let us imagine whether it is leather
or canvas, vinyl or wicker.
Let her
have a chair, her shadeless lamp,
the table. Let one or two she loves
be in the next room. Let the door
be closed, the sleeping ones healthy.
Let her have time, and silence,
enough paper to make mistakes and go on.

Step Up 2 was awesome. I loved the choreography although the storyline was lame. Andie was hot Chase was cute and Moose was funny.

Open House today.

























Byebye!

Okay last one:



I liked reading this today:

What are these antics we are performing?
What is this charade we pretend to be absorbed in?
How absurd to be bother with all this!
What inanity!
Everything is just an elaborate game of make-believe.

* While discussing the Takaro Case:

Me: Takaro sounds like food.
Luke: Takaro is the name of a Japanese mouse.
[awkward silence while everyone thinks]
Me: Omg it is Hamtaro la
Me: AND Hamtaro is a hamster, not a... mouse.

Please let sleepiness snatch me away because I am the most awake person on earth right now. I drank 2 cups of TheStrongestCaffeineInTheWorld just now and I can last forever.

Dead bushes, old tree, twilight crow,
Small bridge, flowing water, human dwelling,
Ancient road, west wind, lean horse,
Evening sun, west set
Broken-hearted man at world's edge.

Post #113


1. There is renovation going on SHUT UP PLEASE.

2. I cannot pronounce PRECEDENT.

3. I cannot stop numbering my posts.

4. I am going to get a LiveJournal account so I can read private posts.

5. I AM HAENGBOK.

*Stanley said he cried while reading my blog. I am sorry for writing in my dull lacklustre ways but I AM NOT SAD. ( Anyway I don't think that was even Stanley. Stanley and friends like to hack into each other's accounts so I never know who I am talking to when I talk to Yihong Kian Ngee Stanley ).


I AM HAENGBOK. I AM.

Post #112

I SECRETLY DREAD AND HATE LONG WORDY ENTRIES SO THIS IS COMPENSATION FOR #111. bye.

I was feeling moody last night, for an hour or so, and was about to blog the moodiness away. Then I decided to click on Get A New Fortune because I recently rediscovered the joys of Fortune Cookie, and it said:

Strong and bitter words indicate a weak cause.

Aiyoh. Whoever created Fortune Cookie must have cast a spell on it. Christine's fortune cookie is even scarier.


My weekend was spent in school, designing Posters Flyers and Hanging Boards. I have been camera lazy of late, so I just snapped a picture with the handphone. (which surprisingly appears to be quite clear)



Made for the feet and stomping of busy NUS students. It is going to be pasted on the floor. The sad people who walk with their heads hanging can now look at my work and feel happier.

I wish we could do the hanging boards individually. It is more uniform that we spilt up the work i.e A pastes, B writes venues time date, C writes captions.... but there's something special about designing your own board each. We did get to design our own floor posters as above, so I am going to steal it back after the screening and paste it on my floor. No I don't really intend to do that.

Claire introduced me to Google reader yesterday, which makes stalking even more efficient. You can make a list of all the websites which you visit regularly and it displays the pages whenever there are updates on any of the websites. I am very excited about making an account soon.

Anyway after the longest time thinking about the lomo I shall get it soon. Have been deliberating over it for months because I do not have a scanner and I am too stingy for film. But currently I am almost bored with the digital already. The problem is the film, the film, the film. I am not going to travel to Chinatown just to develop 120mm film or pay more $ for a 35mm insert adaptor. And my camera-stinginess compels me to get the Baby Holga which has no flash that I cannot handle. ALternatively I can get the cheap Korean lomo which looks stupid and is already 35mm. Why such a long paragraph about boring matters.

Why I love Shinhwa Boys:

Lee Minwoo shared the reason behind his preference for wearing boxers.

"At first I couldn't really understand what's the deal with boxers, but when Eric's mom sent over some boxers it was great....one day Eric told me not to wear his underwear anymore, and I even felt quite hurt by this... Then when I got out of the shower, I saw the pair of boxers that Eric laid out for me."

He added, "Kim Dongwan even wrote the character Kim in Hanja on all his underwear."

I now have to research on the Doctrine Of Precedent and The Singapore Girl. Bye. ( My bangs are clipped up in the ugliest fashion right now due to no reason other than TheShortness. How can I subject myself to webcams like this. NO. )

The mid term papers ended today. Bad. I shall pass this topic on to the next.

I travelled to town with primary school friend Shuk Leng to meet Eileen Jamie Xinhui and Dahniela, who used eyeshadow to cover her small eyes. The eyeshadow migrated to form lower-lid eyeliner. =D.
We shopped for pretty teacups, gay colored pans, and tamagotchi.

Me: How to go down?
Dah: Here here here. There there there.
Me: Here and there are opposites, you know.


I actually quite enjoyed the Management class today. To begin with we had a personality test. I have high internal locus of control, and a Type B Personality. We also had a discussion on the Girl and Sailor Case. Tutor: "Being stupid is not a value".

I was thinking during class, whether we are in control of ourselves or affected by the people who we meet, and our surroundings. Obviously, both. I like to try my best to live my life for myself, the way I like it, but I am influenced too. I remember reading a Japanese proverb before: One can stand still in a flowing stream, but not in the world of men".

is the song playing right now. It means good journey, but it sounds like a sweet. Camino. Campino. Camino....Campino.

I remember reading from one of Anthony Robbins books, if I am not wrong, about how words affect you. For instance if you want to jump across something, you should tell yourself 'I CAN do it' rather than 'I must NOT fail' because of negative neurogical signals. I experienced it during financial accounting mid-term paper.

While excitedly shading my matric number:

(Chng Chee Kiong)

"Do not shade the wrong number"
"Makre sure you do not shade the wrong number"
"Marks will not be awarded if you..."

Shades a 0 instead of 1 by the 5th digit.

There's a whole flood of Shinhwa merchandise released. I want them all. Cds Dvds Posters Necklaces Bedsheets Pillowcases Calendars.

Picture stolen from Eunice:



The only furniture in my room that is not wood is The Bed. My wardrobe is wood too. I believe in wood therapy.


I have something to say, but 5 minutes have passed and I don't know what to write... so I will pass. When I was 17, I told Chengwei on the phone that I thought I was a nice girl. He replied by telling me that if I thought so, then I must be a truely nice person. I don't think I am nice anymore.

There was recently a crane crash at Nus Alumni House site. 3 lives have been lost.

As the crane started to lose its balance at the construction site, it came crashing down towards LT16. The 47 year old Singaporean operator immediately swerved the machine, merely missing the bus stop and saving hundreds of lives. Unfortunately, that man died at the site and brought with him 2 others.

In other words, Hyesung. In my dream lastnight/thismorning, he came to sing in Singapore and I was running to watch him perform. With my mother. Happiness. Woke up to horrible disgusting reality which confines Hyesung and friends to the TV and laptop screen.

Today was spent in school, although it is recess week. Project meeting outside Lt16, biz law tutorial and animal welfare meeting at PeakPoint. We met Arudhra today; she's doing her Masters at age 21.

Business School Bak Chor Mee:



Xuyun + Claire. Resident ghost in school.



OMG I VERY SCARED NOW I know I was the nehneh who asked her to do IT but at 211am this is not very healthy and I see shadows everywhere now. Is.... the leap year haunted. Sorry Xuyun please ask your friends to leave me alone.

I must also explain why I am awake at bedtime: I have to do accounting online assignments which is full of turbulences. I completed the trial ( which you MUST do to begin the assignments ) but the page refused to load when I clicked 'submit', therefore had to redo it after saying F*BEEP. It's the sort of thing whereby you are unlucky once so you let your guard down and think it won't be unlucky twice, but it happens. I CLOSED THE WINDOW WHILE DOING THE EXTREMELY TEDIOUS ASSIGMENT and THERE IS NO AUTO SAVE unlike... blogger AND HENCE I ONLY GOT 55%.

This is Felicia's accounting online assignment predicament:

This morning over breakfast:

Mom: Why don't I ever see you studying this semester?
Me: I study in school. [blufflikenobody'sbusiness]
Mom: But you are never in school.
