=)

people who know how to use a semi-colon appropriately are so sexy.

Emmy Rossum - Slow Me Down

i got a clear version! i love it!!! =)



been glued to the computer screen watching vjc choir videos and can't get myself unglued. then the only other thing my mind keeps flickering to is the ps3 where i got defeated by the stupid retarded final boss SIGH. i think i need to change my paradigms. like the paradigm in the game, not my mindset. that one's doing okay.

eek h3 consultation tmr it's so nerve wracking!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
IT'S HERE!

Florence + The Machine - Cosmic Love



i got the atmosphere and the last collapsing part right. =)

girls are such strange and difficult creatures to understand.

why do you keep such secrets?
why do you avoid confrontations?
how do you keep living like this?

uniqlo is just getting better and better.
check out the designs on their website...good prices, and great block designs!

it's almost the end of the day where my parents are going to be at home for the last time in nearly a week.

and i still feel strange.

Florence and the Machine - Dog Days Are Over

new video!
"In “Dog Days Are Over”, directed by Georgie Greville and Geremy Jasper of LEGS, and edited by Paul Snyder at Lost Planet, Florence is the shamanic leader of a surreal orchestra where spiritual elation explodes into smokey psychedelic anarchy. Each musical element of the song is personified by a group of colorful characters that combine 60’s girl groups, Hinduism, gospel choirs, drum circles, paganism and pyrotechnics. Florence is a painted primal force of nature that whips a religious experience into a riot." - LEGS media
i absolutely love it, grows on you.

i breathe the refreshing cold air as it slides down my throat.

after staring at the computer since 12pm, it's a soothing change.

the computer doesn't allow you much space for creativity. its lines and neat structure is incompatible with the trembling of your hand as it brushes down the page.

and now, out of habit, i press control+s every time my mind gets stuck. it's annoying and breaks the flow of thought. who needs it, in this new world of ideas?

i've been reading alot of confessional poetry today, and getting my thoughts down. i feel so professional, at the desk typing and looking at professional-looking documents and just having the whole day stretch ahead of me.

it helps that i've turned off the vibration in my mobile phone and put it aside. nothing to distract me, and it's almost like being on an island beach with my clear laptop and curing myself, rehabilitating myself, out of this mundane cycle. without actually going anywhere or doing anything spectacular.

yeah. so "The blood jet is poetry,/ there is no stopping it."

Sylvia Plath's world is one that is black and white, and the intrusion of red is combated to its maximum. although whether this intrusion is beneficial or harmful, that's kinda what i'm looking at in my h3 essay.

the seniors' essays are so intimidating. it's like being at the foot of mount everest while having the rare opportunity to see the flags at the top, and the people on their way down from there.

too many words. time for some pictures.

i knew it.

once you get on a computer with internet access, you don't feel like starting to do any work. the colours and lights are just so amazing, they blind and mesmerise you to no end.

well i've been really focused tonight, and want to get this essay done, so that the guilt with my h3 can stop and i can start on it.

lol i just can't resist the computer keypad. =P microsoft word!

oh. now i'm getting to understand "friends with benefits" more.

Listen to my story. This may be our last chance.

Wild Geese

You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting--
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

Mary Oliver

I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?

I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride

A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming

A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Now I'm in a whole new world with you

Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky

A whole new world
Don't you dare close your eyes
A hundred thousand things to see
Hold your breath - it gets better
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be

A whole new world
Every turn a surprise
With new horizons to pursue
Every moment red-letter
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you

A whole new world
That's where we'll be
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me

it's intermission time!

mad rush again? i think so.

i'm doing it!

i hope you see that.

i'm so tired at 11.33am.

am i taking care of my life?

respect me!

post number 600.

lol. this blog has come a long way.

Dramanite 2010 was awesome. don't think i'll forget this experience for a long, long time.

next: Estrellas.

hey, waitaminute, it's not even the end of the month yet, why're you being such a bitch?

my mom has an inability to control her ridiculous, illogical crankiness.

just pray that she suffers a near-death experience that'll change her.

one way i can think of is that the blood doesn't stop coming out for three weeks or something.

poetic justice.

hello everyone.

everything but the girl.

everything you want.

omg i just got hit by this fantastic terrible wave of regret and panic, because i wasted my afternoon trying to do work and just couldn't. i don't know what to do anymore!

k and d have blogs but they don't want me spreading. HELLO K AND D!

You're my cocoon.

You're my cocoon.

i finally understand why songs repeat lines.

insecure, that's what you are.

i don't know what to think about you.

had a very interesting, and simultaneously terrifying, one-on-one session with two teachers - Ms Chia and Mr Ho.

it was amazing how the conversation went. i'm surprised i managed to find things to talk about, and things that really interested me.

also, i found out that teachers are human after all. after all, i'm human, and thus so will teachers be regarded by me.

meetings with Ms Goh and Mr Ho as well about my subjects. they were really good discussions, very fruitful and effective.

i'm beginning to love, not like, math. classes are such a joy that i look forward to them. same as gp, although the novelty's wearing off.

well tmr i'm planning to use my free afternoon/evening to shop. i'd much like to go by myself, but i don't have the experience to know where to go. so i need to find someone at least to go with, otherwise...i'll be panicking all the way inside till night.

saturday - dance day. kinda looking forward to it.

as much as last night's session intimidated me, i thought what minli did, on hindsight, was pretty cool. is this what it's like to be a true dancer?

i had this evening to myself. and i didn't waste it really, because i relaxed (finally and healthily) with Plants VS Zombies. no hint of regret.

btw, locking up the hall at night is quite unnerving, especially with the upper floor's light flickering on and off in the background. on hindsight, i should've left the lights on till the last moment. i kept looking around and having the feeling that something was watching me, or was watching me through the solid wooden doors, as i went down the rows to check if each pair was locked.

nerding out in front of the computer again. this post has been rambling but i feel so natural typing this, as if the stress was all gone. and in a way, it temporarily has, fully.

it's 10.05. will not spend too much time on the computer. was thinking about changing my blogskin, but i guess with much reluctance that now is not the time. i've got a valuable opportunity of sleeping early, so might as well take it.

see you tmr, and i hope i have fun. please come along.

you're never wrong.

you're always better than me.

i am close to hating you.

i'm up at 11.58pm. my desktop wallpaper's changing every 20 minutes so that's okay. =)

i love the aesthetic of the ting tings. they do not shout at you. don't take it so personally. XD

alright. up at 11.58pm, feeling sleepy but love touching this computer so much that i don't wanna tear myself away from it. the keyboard's so clicky XP

oh yeah.

my new love, really. this will last for 1 or 2 weeks. ecstasy.

Two Door Cinema Club - Undercover Martyn

it's that time of the year again.

when my blog is not updated before the dance blog.

it feels weird inside, i don't know how i feel.

holy motherfucking shit i have 35 unread vj mails.

dance club is rocking on at a fantastic pace. i'm reminded of the Ariel poems from Plath.

i might be taking things for granted.

i might be too caught up with myself and us.

here are lyrics to hide behind!

And my running feet could fly
Each breath screaming: "We are all too young to die!"

Between two lungs it was released
The breath that passed from you to me
That flew between us as we slept
That slipped from your mouth into mine
It crept

Because it was trapped
Tapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs

Now all the days of begging
The days of theft
No more gasping for a breath
The air has filled me head-to-toe
And I can see the ground far below
I have this breath and I hold it tight
And I keep it in my chest with all my mgiht
I pray to god this breath will last
As it pushes past my lips
As I...
