I'VE SURVIVED WEEK 1 OF SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Year 4 doesn't really feel any different from any other semesters, to be honest. Maybe I feel a
slight pressure to behave in a more mature manner buttttttttttt I'm still jumping up and down excitedly when I bump into familiar faces. :DDD Missed school so much for the friends! :DD
And of course I've missed FASS deck's waffle (': The auntie is still as cute as ever! First day of school would be odd without having deck waffle. Heh.
Was so happy to see Bert and Melcher in class!!! :D Amanda, and Nat as well :D Just awesome to have classes with the fellow EL majors again.
Got lost on the second day of the week; I totally spaced and thought LT 32 was LT27 -- I'm taking Reporting Stats in the Media as a breadth module! IT'S AT BLOODY
8AM EVERY TUESDAY AND FRIDAY ): I couldn't sleep until 2plus and only got 3 hours of sleep. Haha. Every single semester, I'd get lost somewhere for sure, it's as if it HAS to happen.
Went to the computer centre for the second time in my academic life (the first being... sometime during o week in year 1?!?! D: Can't remember, think we were brought there to do module bidding or something haha) and spotted this on the computer screen:
HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA MAYBE I HAVE A DAMN BAD SENSE OF HUMOUR BUT I COULDN'T STOP LAUGHING AT THIS. HOW COULD THEY HAVE REDUCED THE FIERCE SNARL OF A HANDSOME WOLF TO THIS?!?!?!
HEHEHEHEHEHEHE
Bumped into Fauzi at the CC tooooooo it's so awesome to have all the secondary school guys at uni now. :D All I need now is for Yihan and Andy to magically appear as well and my life'd be complete.
Had lemon chicken rice with long beans at engineering canteen for lunch! This only cost $2.30
And this cost $2.80! It's pretty cheap, and yummy too. Maybe I ought to eat at Engineering more
Then on a whim, I went and got a haircut.
Do you like it? :D I haven't had hair this short since... secondary school! It was a good 4-5 inches chopped off. I quite like it, hehe.
No more tangled up split ends :DDDDDDD
Took a short nap, then woke up to make this!
Hindbærsnitter (raspberry cookie) ((': It's my favourite Danish cookie. I followed the recipe from
here! It was to commemorate the first year anniversary of my flying off to Aarhus, Denmark. I remember the first hindbærsnitter I had - it was at Dale's Cafe at Aarhus Universitet after Mette and I had picked up my flat keys from the administration! I remember almost getting a chocolate bun when I saw this rectangular cookie sprinkled with rainbow coloured balls stacked on a plate, on display for all patrons to see. The burst of sweetness alongside the buttery crust, yet balanced by the tartness of the raspberry in my mouth was soooooo good I fell in love then and there.
Packed a few smaller bite-sized ones to school for the friends to try (:
Daddy dearest gave me a lift to school the next day because I'd a lot to carry :D Thankyou Daddyyyyy!
Decided on a sweet and demure makeup to go with my newly cut hair! The peter pan collar with polka dots felt a little schoolgirl preppy as well, so I decided to keep it within a sweet theme.
My Introduction to Cultural Studies class at U-town ended really early so I gave myself a treat - a nice Starbucks brunch with a huge cuppa hot chocolate
It started pouring really heavily
Then I went for my Gender, Language and Text class -- I really love how Prof Hiramoto hasn't changed since I took her exposure module in Year 1 Sem 1 (: She's really nice and sweet!
Also walked around class asking a few people if they'd like to try the cookie I'd baked and those who did said they liked it! :D I'm so glad heh. Also, Edna's in the same class!! So glad for such awesome company.
On that day, someone turned 22!! :D
Check out what I'd gotten him for a present - a BOLSTER hahahahahahahaahah yes I seriously did. Well he mentioned he hadn't a bolster in hall so I went and bought one LOL.
Also got him a book from Kikki.K! The wrapper's from there as well isn't it SUPER CUTE!! *pukes rainbows
Happy birthday mister, hope you had an awesome day! :D
Spotted this at the Co-op the next day:
I'M CONSIDERING GETTING ONE!!!!!! To use in my cooking hahahahahaha. But to be honest I don't think I'll be able to cook often because the readings for level 4 modules are killer. O: *-*
Was exhausted after only day 3 of week 1.... I think it's because I just haven't been getting sufficient sleep!
Day 4: I HAD LUNCH WITH THE LOVELIEST DARLING MS NEOOOOOOO. :DDDDDDDD Was brilliant to chat incessantly about EVERYTHING with her, though it was really a hurried lunch because I couldn't wake up in time *-* Sorry missy! And we didn't take a photo together noooooooooooo. Let's do lunch again this week!
Also: bumped into Daphne, Fiona and Shamini whilst at Deck!!! Was like a hyper kid and kept bouncing around in excitement heh. Also saw Jaspy!!!!
ootd failed attempt #1
WIWT(o School)! The pink headband's from Forever 21, pink bandeau crop top thingy's from New Look (which I got in London, not sure if they sell it in SG!) ASOS skater skirt in grey and my boring black flats're from Rubi. :D
Went for dinner at Holland V and tried this for the first time:
Vietnamese pho! It was really good albeit a bit too salty for my liking. For 12.95$ there was a generous amount of beef given. (:
Looking mega drained *-* Eyeliner was horribly smudged because I was using Silkygirl pencil liner instead of my usual Nars eyeshadow (yes I use a black eyeshadow to line my eyes! I feel that it smudges less than pencil liners and gel liners, but that's only for my own eyelids - you should try out all them possible options and decide on the best for yourself!) Went home and slept immediately!
On Fridayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Was waiting for Bryan at U-town and decided to take photos because I was wearing such little makeup!! Wearing MAC's
Cherish on my lips by the way. It's a feat for me to have achieved during just week 1; the amount of makeup on my face is negatively correlated to the number of days into semester, usually. Hehe.
I quite like wearing little makeup! Makes me look more freshfaced haha.
But I was doing so for a particular reason:
TO THE GYM, I WAS HEADED O_O for the first time in my entire existence!!! I've never been to the gym before hahahahaha. Have only exercised at the park, at the swimming pool, or within the confines of my home. Hence the pout, because I was quite shocked at the number of people at U-town gym just at... 10.30am on a Friday morning?!?! *-*
Bryan was my personal trainer for the day!! :D He was actually really sweet and patient because I was being a total durrbrain not knowing where to put my hands, how to use the machines and also I am just basically very weak and can't lift very heavy stuff hahahahahahaha. He was very supportive and made sure I finish my 8 times per set because most of the time, by the 6th I'd wanted to stop. I also kept getting distracted by the guys lifting dumbbells and making
beastfaces at their reflections in the mirror HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA. They looked as if they were headed to war LOOOOOL. I also noticed that it's the girls at the running tracks and the guys who were doing the lifting! Why is that so???
ANYWAY I SURVIVEDDDD YAY
Had eggs because my personal trainer for the day said "it's best to eat protein within 30 minutes after working out" HOKAY MISTER
Then we went to the pool!! :D Other than us two Asians, the rest were all exchange students lazing about. It was good because I was in my bikini and didn't feel out of place hehe.
I must fully make use of school facilities whilst I'm still a student!!! WHO WANTS TO BE MY GYM AND POOL BUDDIES!?!?!?! :p I'm currently feeling pretty sore in my arms, upper back, thigh and ass muscles though. LOL.
Bumped into Nithiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa and I feel like I ought to organise a 4/3 outing......... Hahahahahahahahahaha.
On Saturday, Melcher, Jian Gang and I had a meeting to prepare for our Gender presentation next week! I was the earliest though I only slept at 4AM wahahahahaha.
Pretty Ayano and I!
Love these two deepdeep, best major mates one could ask for!!
T.S stood for TELLY SEX because our presentation's on telephone sex operators!!! Thank God for interesting readings.
Jiangang's S sign looks soooo awkwardly made hahahahahaha
Thank you Ayano for getting green tea kitkat for Jian Gang and I! :DD
That concludes my first week back in school! 'twas awesome to meet everyone again. It's going to be a difficult and busy semester but I refuse to let anything get me down because I'm stronger than this. I absolutely refuse to REGRET anything and think about What Ifs so let's work hard together okay, everyone? (:
Much love, and I wish thee grow wiser and better with each passing day!

Giving something - be it an experience, an object, an emotion - a name brings it into existence; it gives it a sense of legitimisation, a sense of realness. While I don't deny that what I, or what we feel is real, I simply think it isn't fair to expect such a level of dedication when I myself can't commit. And while I sound pretty matter of fact here, I'm ashamed to say I'm actually just...
Scared. I'm scared of becoming someone I don't like. And I'm scared of causing pain to someone who doesn't deserve it.
So yeah. To hell with labels.
