I cannot believe i missed passion pit live in singapore, it just hasn't sunk into me yet. Just about 2 weeks back, they were playing 'take a walk' at day 2 of Outside Lands 2012 and i was absolutely ecstatic, just grooving to 'little secrets' and 'to kingdom come' in the toilet after a long day at school when i saw a picture someone posted on instagram saying that they were playing live at the esplanade concert hall several days later. Nothing made up for that yet.

Here's a snippet of passion pit playing at outside lands

god knows why i've been obsessed with passion pit lately, maybe the whole 'ellie goulding' thing is dying off after 2 years of mentally claiming her mine.

My saturday was spent with mom and dad at a restaurant in vivocity where we had food and talked over the scenic view of sentosa island. The roller coasters of USS could be seen jutting out from the greens and it was a clear distinction of the serenity at the almost empty restaurant to the people probably exhilarating over the thrill at the theme park. Either way, both works well for me. Mom and dad went to get the groceries while i walked the mall alone in a knitted maroon cardigan i found off the rack at cotton on. I then proceeded to topshop to get a lip marker and then to the sports shop with mom to get a 12kg dumbbell and gloves for training sake.

Josh is coming over for dinner later and its been far too long since we met, and i'm feeling little shaken for putting on some weight over the holidays. Thats what you get for loving food eh?

There! The pictures of today! which includes a snuggly puppy and xlbs!

The berry crumble N, M, Y and i made for our home econs exam; I haven't eaten the crumble yet because the sink broke in the home ec room and we washed the berries in muddy water. You have been warned, stay away from the 3rd sink on the right side of the kitchen!

Ponche with C and I because the Chiam Chiam decides to change our attitude to this instead

Pictures from the recent project work festival, where i embarrassed with those kacang putih cones in my hands asking everyone to get buy them. That includes running around the school with N singing the kacang putih song we came up with, it also comes with accompaniment from mr uke!

Eager

When I was a child, my dad use to have a restaurant by the beach and next to the shore where the wooden railings are, was a television that only plays WWE or cage fighting shows. And despite, having done ballet at that age, boxing and martial arts as a whole appealed to me all along. Today, I was happy for the whole fucking day because I realise that my mom's hulk-looking personal trainer is too, a muay thai trainer!

You would've probably guessed it already but I am starting muay thai lessons next month but he made a promise to my mom to work on my right knee first because of the constant throbbing pain I experience but I fucking hate knee guards. But either way, I'm starting muay thai lessons and just down the road from my place is a boxing ring. And if I ever were to train there next time, my childhood will probably be complete! So fucking happy, I'll be a dancer who does muay thai fuck yes. Whoopiedoo.

negligence

ne·glect/niˈglekt/

Synonyms:

verb. disregard - ignore - omit - slight noun. negligence - omission - dereliction - default

very much similar to the state space, negligence was what i was experiencing lately. I've passing through a phase whereby negligence no longer feels as bad as it sounds, and maybe being alone no longer sounds like the end of the world. It has dawned on me that I need too much alone timenow a days but maybe its just my hormones on a roller coaster ride. I like walking alone in the corridors and in walkways, i like spending my recess in the library or in the classroom and being alone doesn't necessarily mean being lonely. The 13 year old me, ought to be proud of me now.

Now, too much narcissism! Enough! The dancers had our R&R on wednesday this week and the turn out was more than what we expected. On a side note, great news! Chiam liked the idea of our item (sec 2 dansical) and want J and I to further develop the plot because she wants to add it into our performance item next year! MARK YOUR CALENDERS! ITS GOING TO BE ON A FEBRUARY!

Its been hectic too trying to choreograph to MJ's Thriller for the Teachers' day dance item by tuesday knowing that the CAs are on wednesday and i'm barely even starting. God, i really need a decent sense of urgency and time management. And its a miracle for not failing my subjects this term because 40% of the time I'm found in a corner dozing off (that excludes sciences, and its going to break the streak, i'm sure).

Friday was full of shit, literally. It was the time of the month and i was sent back from school early from my immense cramps which landed me in the toilet purging and puking for the next 1.5 hours and skipping my english paper checking. I am a fucking genius.

The laselle students came for a crash course and we styled Anna hah!

Unfortunately my favorite bag pack snapped and heres to a new one after a bleeding thumb and an hour of sewing!

It was a steal! Found a pair of H&M pants my size from the heap of the laselle student's clothes and it was for.............................free

And here's a picture we thick-skinly asked Mr Ahmad for a photo during the practice before the R&R

in some very intense 'the xx' mood after obsessing of crystalized xoxo

Hastiness and superficiality are the psychic diseases of the twentieth century.

Our lives are mere flashes of light in an infinitely empty universe. In 12 years of education the most important lesson I have learned is that what we see as “normal” living is truly a travesty of our potential. In a society so governed by superficiality, appearances, and petty economics, dreams are more real than anything anything in the “real world”. Refuse normalcy. Beauty is everywhere, love is endless, and joy bleeds from our everyday existence. Embrace it. I love all of you, all my friends, family, and community. I am ceaselessly grateful from the bottom of my heart for everyone. The only thing I can ask of you is to stay free of materialism. Remember that every day contains a universe of potential; exhaust it. Live and love so immensely that when death comes there is nothing left for him to take.

Thank you, Dominic Owen Mallary, for making me feel the slightest bit of faith in a time like this.

rhapsody

I've just come to terms with the number of weeks left until the final year exam but its also not a good sign to know that my MT papers are on tuesday and i'm totally disregarding it. It probably hasn't hit me hard enough to realize that i failed mathematics for the first time and i am in absolutely no position to be in this slumber daze. (Do include a sentence to make yourself feel better before you continue wallowing in self-pity here).

Right, so this week has been pretty hectic with all the TKnite frenzy everyone is in, and i am so glad its over, you have no idea how gratifying it is to heave a good sigh of relief after all the shit going on this week.

My weekends were spent, again, with Y. She's here to stay for the night and obviously, there was some major mayhem and midnight sobbing and extensive farting all throughout the day. It's good though, thinking of living this way in 3 years time when i'm probably going to be alone in a dome somewhere without my parents and living in a foreign area. Then again, maybe not.

Over the weekends, I met with P and Y and it's probably the best 2 days I had this past month. (btw Happy August!) P and I spend our evening roaming the streets around bugis before going to OSF for the clearance at Haji. We then had dinner where we bumped into the loveliest and most bubbly waitress who prances around the shop with her orders. I bought a set of hair extensions which creeped my family out and I finally have long hair! Whoopiedoo

Y and I had lunch together the next day and we talked over our cups marble slab, there we spend the next 2 hours secretly singing to the carpenters and lana del rey hahaha. Then I went to check out studiowu with W as we scamper around bras basah and the NTU campus in hope of finding the studio.
