go away

another week of rag and time is passing like a bullet train. started with the detailing of the props and am done with the shield and straw at least. gg back tmr morning for some touch up and colour selections in case the seniors want to do some ragging during foc week. now i noe, nothing is ever so easy. life now is like the half coloured lollipop; it's bittersweet. it's sweet to know tt there will always be a bunch of pple ard to help me out with the props but it's bitter when my tiny brain just cnt think of detailing designs. although we are non-competing, i really wan to do the best i cn for the props. and for the rag team so tt we cn be proud of ourselves at the end of the day. so i need to acha fight! and look thru the detailing of diff faculties in the previous years as reference. (:

completed personal taste today. it's a great k-drama! i love lee min-ho and son ye-jin combo! 16 epi of romance comedy to enjoy when u have nothing to do and just wan some entertainment. the ost is worth listening too. my music library is building up on korean songs now. i think there is close to 200 k-songs now. hahas. korean is the new POP! :D

i was posed a question ytd. and it made me wonder why such a question was posed in the 1st place. it came dawning on me tt i cnt mess with the grey. because if i do get trapped inside, i will be lost. or perhaps it was never meant to be grey. it had always been just black and white and i crossed the lines. so i shld white wash everything and let it return to the start. so that a new colour cn be added. yup. i am talking abt painting. just plain painting.

the good days will arise upon me! (:

cuts and bites

i had been down for rag everyday since mon. alot of time is needed to make all the props. but i must say we are pretty efficient cos most of the structures are up. hopefully next week the painting and detailing for the major props can be done. (: time passes like a breeze when there is work to do. travelling cn be a chore but i guess there's always fun out of everything. listening to the rag comm pple joking and seeing the props getting done one by one day by day is satisfying.

i seemed to be hard up for ideas on the props building but luckily there is always pple ard to offer their suggestions. i'm really grateful for all their help. i cn just die if i have to build all the props by myself.

recently, i keep having craving for banana muffin. keep wanting to eat banana walnut muffin after lunch but the spinelli at sci's ALWAYS dont have the muffin although it's in their menu. =.= and i am having cuts and bites! cuts on my hands from tin cans and bites from the darn mosquitoes outside ps room. the mosquitoes coil doesnt seem to be working and we couldnt find the lighter to light the coil today.

baking on saturday!! i cnt wait to make my own banana muffin! :D more photos of tt in the next entry! (:

more fun

had another awesome week! holidays just made time past really fast. it's the 2nd week of june oreadi. ): some quick updates abt wat i did:

BAKING!

i finally tried baking after so long. it was really fun! i enjoyed every bit of it (: baking was over at joanne's hse and we had the entire kitchen to ourselves. i tried seperating egg white from egg yolk which i used to only see it in the tv baking shows. NOT EASY. need to have skill. we oso got a little ambitious; we wanted to bake tiramisu, fudge cake with mango freeze and hot chocolate ganache cake. but we ended up managing to bake only tiramisu. HAHA.

trying so hard to seperate the egg white from yolk

that i dont have time to pose! hahas.

TA-DA! our tiramisu after an afternoon of hardwork. (:

YUM CHA!

went for yum cha buffet with maye, qp and joanne on thurs. although i didnt eat my breakfast, i was full after 1 round of eating. couldnt eat as much as the last time i went. ): i didnt eat as much xiao long baos as last time too. hahas.

FOOD!

we went plaza sing to window shop before killers movie after the buffet. tried out alot of different kinds of clothes and camwhore in the dressing room. LOL. killers movie was hilarious. enjoyed! (:

KBOX!

went k session with cand, ken and russ ytd. finally get to sing after so long. the k staff was trying hard to promote this student promo card to me which will expire in 30 june. perhaps tt's why she didnt accept my k member card. had dinner at sumo house with cand and ken. and i ate my soya bean icecream cone! :D

rag is starting tmr! hopefully we can get all tt is needed to be done tmr. (:

i am powerful

maybe it has all along been within me.
and today, i found the last straw to make me explode.

because i had never expected things to be this way.

so when they come one by one,

fear and anxiety set in.

how can i not be fearful.

when everything is new to me.

when even the closest is not there.

i know exactly what i need.

i need strength. courage. belief.

i need imagination. creativity. arty farty.

after a double scoop of cookies and cream,

i will tell myself.

a challenge is ahead.

i took it and will grit through it.

and believe because:

'our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but we are powerful beyond measure.'

still having fun!

last week was rather eventful and awesome. here's wat happened:

MON- pharmily BBQ

we had a BBQ over at boon kiang's condo. me and belle had a hard time trying to find the place. we walked twice to and fro the bus-stop and mrt station in the rain. we alighted too early and had to walk 1 bus-stop b4 we found the condo. and to reach the condo, we had to ascend up a slope. AND all this had to happen after my sundown marathon. my legs were chui ttm when we finally reached. i helped to bbq satays, otah and bread. but most of the satays were eaten by the pple sitting ard the bbq area. HAHA. played a few rounds of mahjong and i must say i was VERY luckily tt day. i think i won 3 rounds consecutively. left at ard 2200hr with larissa, belle and kerwin. LOL. we had a hilarious time on the bus and train.

TUE & WED

seriously, i think my brain is slowly rusting away. because no matter how hard i think, i couldnt rmb wat i did last tues and wed. WHAT DID I DO???

THURS & FRI- badminton & stayover!

nonono, i did not forget wat i did these 2 days again. HAHA. had bmt session with evan and rachel in the morn and went to maye's for overnight mahjong session! had a great zi char dinner near her house. i'm mising the cereal prawns oreadi! i did the most sinnful thing: ate cup noddles at 0200hr. damn. i still couldnt figure out wat made me do tt. i need to RUN RUN RUN. continue the mahjong session with maye and joanne after a heavy lunch the next day. we went to the extent of using touch to decipher the tile and deciding whether we want it or not. and becos of tt, i missed my chance of winning the game! it was tiring but FUN! (:

SAT- paint a house + 4e8 gathering + prawning

saturday was prolly the longest day i ever had for weeks. went all the way to tampines to paint a home with candice, rachel, jielin, qi xuan and a bunch of other pple. my grp was in charge of painting the corridors. we whitewashed it twice before putting pink paint. although i never fancy pink, the effect turn out to be great! i think everyone there did an awesome job! the lunch was FREE and good! i ended up eating 4 extra pieces of chicken in exchange of 2 doughsticks. great deal eh! :D a singing competition was organised for the elderly and we were there to witness their singing. LOL. it was a unique experience. went off at 1750hr to rachel's hse for a shower b4 meeting 4e8 at db's fish & co. went off with esther and terk ming to meet yushan for prawning at bishan. we missed the last bus and had to hail a cab. walked a few rds b4 finding a spot to prawn. we were rather unlucky tt day. onli caught 5 prawns! but the satays and snacks from esther's sis stall tasted nice. damn. ANOTHER sinnful thing. RUN RUN RUN.

i managed to catch my 1st prawn after waiting for 15 mins. :D

without.

when pple ard me seem to be falling apart, i cannot help but feel upset too.

i guess we just have to rmb that they will always be a part of us. in our memories.

whatever reason it may be, leave behind the grudges and pain.

and only rmb the sweetest.

so that we will smile even if it aches.

dont even try to forget.

because we never will.

so turn them into energy and strength.

for you to continue walking.

and you will find him again.

a different and better him.

BUT i just couldnt see him in the crowd. LOL.

my rape of nanking and jodi picoult books are lying comfortably on my table. not touched for many days. too busy with rag props designs recently. cracking my brain to think out of the box to use materials to make the props. i even thought of outrageous items like toilet bowl cover. LOL. think BK will faint when he sees my material list. hahas.
