halloween night

So, I already thought of what I want to wear: punk lolita. I thought I had it all planned. Get someone to drive me over to the party so I don’t have to worry about how to keep myself warm. Suddenly, it struck me. Wednesday = J-Net fashion show meeting. I’m back to square one.

1) Need to worry how to keep myself warm. I don’t want to wear my pullover sweater coz it’s very troublesome to take off and put on over my top. Also, I will look damn kuku lahz. I do have a black jacket but it isn’t very thick and won’t keep me really warm. How?!

2) Skipping the meeting is out of the question. We’re going to actually start practising walking and stuff this week. Which also means that it’s going to be difficult to get off early. I don’t think the fashion show committee is going to postpone the meeting just coz it’s halloween.

Sidenote: Sometimes I really wonder what I’m getting myself into. Modern fashion group is planning on doing a little para para. Good grief. I can’t dance and have lousy coordination skills. If I can’t nail this, it just proves that I am super duper lousy.

empty list

Wooooooooooooooooooo…I got an A for my Astronomy mid-term exam!!! I need to buck up and study earlier for Psychology though. Been missing the B grade by 1-2 marks. Crossing my fingers for Econs. I need to get an A for my final Rhet research paper to probably secure an A for my final grade.

Whoa…this is scary. My MSN friend list looks so empty coz almost everyone is offline. All the SSA people have gone to Indiana for Mid-Western games. Man Ling is driving me and Kaoru tomorrow morning.

I couldn’t get more gyoza today coz it was raining and J-Net couldn’t set up the booth. They got the tent shade thing but coz of the electric cooker and the fear of getting electrocuted, they couldn’t start cooking. They couldn’t set up the booth inside Union coz Union doesn’t allow any cooking inside for safety reasons. In case you’re wondering, this whole gyoza sale is a J-Net fundraiser.

brrrr cold

It’s going to be freakin’ cold from now on… *sobz*

Click here to see the weather forecast…

When is my dorm going to on the heater for the rooms? It’s fuckin’ cold lorz.

Just when I start complaining and making hell a lot of noise about the air-con/heater in my room, I on it and OH YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! THE HEATER’S FINALLY ON! *dances around*

shopaholic demon unleashed

9pm = late night = りんご! Nahz, I think I’ll pass today. I feel like I’m so kiasu, rushing down to the late night just to get cut apples. If I don’t rush, usually in half an hour, the apples are gone, leaving me with only the mixed fruit cup as fruit choice. I don’t really like the mixed fruit cup coz the melon is not sweet.

The purpose of this entry is to report my crazy shopaholic ways for the past 3 days. Maybe it’s coz my exams have just ended so I really need to unwind and go for retail therapy. I don’t even want to comment on the damage done… You have no right to reprimand me (except for Mum) coz I seldom buy a lot of clothes during the year. Note that certain items are not in the photo coz I forgot to put them in.

The breakdown of 3 days…

Last Friday:
Aeropostale
2 pink long sleeved tops
American Eagle
1 grey long sleeved thermal top
Wet Seal
1 pair of black pyjama pants (for Sis)

Yesterday:
Kohl’s –
2 pairs of jeans
1 red hooded long sleeved thermal top
1 black turtle neck long sleeved top
Hot Topic –
1 black Hello Kitty jacket
1 red and black striped long sleeved Skelanimals top
1 red plaid skirt (returned today)

Today:
Claire’s –
2 punk leather bracelets
1 pair of black and white striped long socks
Target –
2 bottles of nail polish
1 bottle of nail polish remover
3 pairs of underwear (come in a pack)

I also recently ordered some Emily Strange stuff online. A red plaid newsboy cap, a pair of red plaid long socks, a red plaid skirt, and 3 pairs of underwear (come in a pack). Kinda disappointed coz the skirt is too huge (and it’s small size!!!) I doubt even Sis can wear it. Probably going to sell it. The underwear wasn’t spared too. Small size but still freakin’ huge. Talking about underwear, the ones I bought from Target are actually kids size 10. No offence but people here are generally bigger or something…even their butts are bigger. Oopz…

The pink long sleeved tops from Aeropostale seem to be a little too thin for really cold weather. If it’s moderately cold, I can still wear them under my sweater, but these days are getting a little too cold to wear them. Probably have to layer them with a tank top or something coz they are a little too thin and see-through.

I love the red hooded thermal top from Kohl’s, but due to the V-neck opening, I need to wear something inside. Trying to find a black tank top to pair it with. The black turtle neck top is to pair with a red plaid overall dress I got way earlier. It’s rather thin so I would be able to wear it in Singapore too.

I got a pair of jeans earlier coz I only have 2 pairs with me and I don’t find that enough especially when I’m constantly wearing jeans in the cold weather. Wanted to get another pair but ended up getting 2 more pairs. Reason coz it’s really hard for me to find jeans that fit due to my huge hips. Moreover, certain brands have short cutting which is not too long for me. They are not too pricey too!

I nicknamed Hot Topic our (Sis and I) favourite store. It has lots of punk rock clothing which kinda fits the Japanese fashion image Sis and I usually dress in. I wanted to get this red plaid skirt I saw but ended up with other stuff as well. Oopz… Anyway, I returned the skirt today. I got small size thinking that was the smallest size available which was still a little big but not that bad. Went back and saw from their online store that the smallest size is extra small. So I ordered it online.

The good thing about stores here is that you can return stuff as long as they are in good condition and with the tags still intact. Not like Singapore where there’s the no return policy in most stores.

There’s just so many cute and pretty stuff around. :heart: Claire’s has these really cute Hello Kitty long socks and arm warmers. Trying to restrain myself from buying them. I still am finding a good and moderate priced pair of boots for winter. Oh, and a nice scarf. I saw a red plaid one in the display for Victoria’s Secret, but I doubt it’s for sale. Yes, I love red plaid, red and black striped, and pink stuff. 🙂

Ok, I need to restrain myself for the next few months. Already wondering how I’m going to pay Mum back for all this stuff when I go home next year. Die liaoz

After this entry, I expect Mum to be calling me coz Sis is probably going to report to her on my great spending… Oopz…

lives are torn

“I want to be your dream catcher…” – from OLIVIA’s ‘Dream Catcher’

Yesterday night, I was reading the essay from my textbook to prepare for my Rhet research paper. I have decided to go with the class chosen topic of Global Issues and have chosen to focus on slavery in India. Halfway through the essay, I was already feeling sick. Not sick as in physically sick, but more like I was filled with dread and sadness. Although the essay was written in the 1800s, we all know that slavery still exists in the world. Families, coz of poverty, have to sell off their children to become labourers or prostitutes. It’s so sick to see a photo of an 11-year-old pregnant girl. WTF. I hope the guy who impregnated her, rots in hell manz. These children probably don’t even know what sex is and already their lives are being torn like that. 🙁

It pains me. How can people even do that to other people? Some are even regular church-goers. What happened to “do unto others what you want others to do unto you” or “we are all created in God’s image?” Hypocrites. God gave us life which we should love and treasure, but instead these people (the slaves) are wishing everyday to die. It’s so so sad. 🙁

Mum told me to thank God everyday that I’m alive. Yes, I’m too blessed. Too sheltered, too blessed that sometimes I feel guilty about it.

i am friends with you because…

I don’t understand how people can make friends with some ulterior motive. It really makes the saying “that’s what friends are for” seem like a lie. It’s so disappointing to find out people aren’t really what they seem to be. Befriending you for some purpose like boosting their own grades, then dropping you like a hot potato when they find out you aren’t of use to them. How can friendship be used to compare something like that?

Isn’t it tiring to assess people like that? It’s like doing a full profile scan to find out if someone is worth your time or not. That’s so sad.

It is precisely why I was so afraid to mix with my own fellow countrymen. Almost all of them are scholars. Compared to them, I’m nothing. I don’t ace anything. I don’t come from some prestigious school. I don’t drink or club. To make things worse, I’m always afraid people will say stuff like I got into the school coz of my uncle. I did not. Of course, I’m not saying that everyone is like that but it pains me to find out some people are like that.

I don’t pretend to be someone I’m not. I help people because I want to, not because I expect something big in return.

This talk makes me miss 7ners a lot more. The friends who truly love me for who I really am… I :heart: you!

I have a new love! Soymilk = my new love :heart: CHU!

girls growing up

It was in ‘VERY BEAUTY’ that we saw a grown up Berryz工房. °C-ute has finally reached that stage too. In their PV for their new song, ‘都会っ子 純情’, their dressing style and overall appearance does not scream kiddy anymore. Lined eyes and curled hair make them look a whole lot grown up.

I never really liked Kanna for some reason. She looked kinda weird especially when she smiled, but in this PV, she looks really grown up and nice. Maybe coz she isn’t smiling. It’s like how Per said 上戸 彩 looked weird when she smiled, but in ‘Azumi‘, she looked so much cooler coz she didn’t smile.

I like how they gave Saki a grown up look by curling her hair. Even Mai Mai looks more grown up although she’s still the baby of the group. I think she was given this look ever since she collaborated with Koharu for Kira☆Pika.

I’m trying to figure out whether the PV is shot in Yokohama as in the last scene…

I kinda dislike the monologue bits at the beginning and ending of the song by Maimi. I also realised that Airi doesn’t look cute anymore. She’s very much like Risako. Cute when young but 不耐看 when grown up.

関ジャニ∞ has a new PV too. For their song, ‘イッツ マイ ソウル’。Johnny always has the worst outfits for the groups. K8 looked so much like go-go-boys in the PV with shorts/hot pants.

Tacchon got a fair bit of solo singing but…he still looks like a se bei bei. It’s all Johnny’s fault…
