Dobby is a free elf

EXAMS ARE OVAAAAAAAHHHHHHH. All I wanna do is find a secret cafe and sit there all day long with no one and nothing but a good ol' book and a cup of earl grey tea. Either that or I just wanna fucking dive into a sea of daisies and lay there forever, but NOOOOOOOOO my life forbids me to.

The insufficiency of finite duration will be the death of me. Just gotta make do with running around in all directions to run multiple errands in a day even though I find that a major turn-off. This weekend + next week will be a living hell, and I thought I could finally take a break.

Battle Scars

Been working on this sketch of Guy Sebastian after he released his new song, Battle Scars (ft. Lupe Fiasco). Go check it out! I feel indignant that it's receiving only 200k views (!!!!!!).

Blob blob blob

Study date with Sha last Sunday after his tuition and just because we had to find a reason to hang out. Found my new favourite study spot even though it isn't exactly that new at all 'cause it's still at Park-frickin'-way. And Sha let me sneak a peek at his baby photo, which eventually wasn't only for my eyes after all. *grins

Completed three papers within a few hours.

I never regret studying with Sha. ^_^

Cool story bro.

Shit I've been up to when I do anything but study.

Eat, play, draw, sleep.

Attempt to ton to study with Lum, Jj and Joel failed terribly last night. We ended up raiding Mac's and playing Taiti / Bridge. Had a helluva time though, with them trying to figure out my partner all the time and my crazy bids. Highlight of the day was Project Juliet Oscar Echo Lima and Joel's overly-attached ways, before ending it off with my favourite McGriddles for brekkie. First time I survived through the night without any in-between naps or without ending up as a walking zombie. Luv these guys foreva. x

Seems like I've overestimated you again. Y'know, I thought you were more grown up than this. Never knew your faith in me was this... non-existent. But y'know what's worse? You dare tell me "don't worry, you know I trust you" when you evidently didn't. How dare you. Well, all I can say is, "cool story bro".

Best I've ever had.

I miss having someone who actually knows me (and who uses my head as an arm rest).
Will never forget the day you announced to the whole atrium about me being late for our first date.

Well, I'll never forget us.

:-)

Trish's and Jx's Birthday

BBQ birthday party for Trisha and Jiaxuan at Jiaxuan's new condo, Mi Casa. The boys were overwhelmingly tempted to throw the chicken wing bones into the pool just to pollute it and they frightened two little girls away when they accidentally splashed water at them, LOL. Guai lan bastards are guai lan. And Jiaxuan's a really lousy BBQer. He always gets distracted and forgets about the food, pshhhhk. Aug, Xx and Ericia joined us a little later with a surprise birthday cake. Heh, it was a short but fun night! x

Chocolate popsicles

Brief words to describe tonight:
Bert's 18th bertday / Cheese-baked Pasta with Tangy Tomato sauce and Chicken Sausage at 18 Chefs as always / Heart Attack / Concentration / Murderer / Playground Catching / "Chocolate Popsicles" / Yakult.

Haven't laughed till my tummy ached and till I lost my voice in ages. Been so deprived of such awesome company. Looking forward to the next Jux Keydings meet-up already :-)

With everything, I won't let this go.

I'll be walking down the isle in my whitest gown, gingerly keeping my balance on my highest heels, eyes locked on the love of my life, singing, "With everything, I won't let this go." But I'd gladly take on double roles of being the bride and the pianist at the same time if I could.

Marriage was (and still is, to me) a beautiful thing, ruined by insecurities and disfigured by society. 

I love how music used to teach us how to love and cherish, not take drugs and participate actively in intimate intercourse.

A part of me.

"婆婆你好吗?"

"好啊. 不好也是要说好."

Then she laughed, as though consoling herself of the harsh truth. Ever felt that sourish, sharp pain up your nose that urges tears to well up in your eyes when you choke on wasabi? That's how the heartache felt like -- Instantaneous and short, but still very painful.

In the past year, I've been to and fro places that are merely two miles away from where she lives, but I've never actually taken time off to drop by at all. I thought of how she managed to make it through the past year with no one at home to talk to other than my grandfather and her best friend/neighbour. I thought of how neglected she must have felt. I thought of how I could have and should have made her feel less lonely. 

By the next hour, my mind found its way here, tagged along by my body. A voice whispered to me, "It's time you did."

Lavender in lavender.

She's easily amused by the Slot Machine app.

And yes, she wears bold prints for her home clothes.

Where I used to have my meals at.

Brewed daily.

Don't complain about your Nokia phone until you own one of these.

Gong gong's fav batik shirt.

Where I used to nap at.

Wasn't she such a babe?

Yeah, she's a fan of plants.

Dinner at Nan Hwa Chong Fish-Head Steamboat Corner.

We used to be a really happy, big family, with all my aunts and uncles together with their children, gathered here every weekend without fail. Now, I guess we're all just busy with our own lives.

Home is where the heart lies. My heart lies here, always.
