pain
my eyes are hurting. every time i blink it feels as if someone is trying to squeeze a small shard of glass into the tiny red slit behind my eyelids. it is incredibly painful and i am in agony (okay no this is nothing compared to the starving North Koreans). to minimize my suffering i can either keep my eyes open for the whole time or squeeze them shut for as long as possible; even swiveling my...

August
Apart from running around with the Parisians and Eugenia in Orchard, I spent most of August worrying. Worrying about my results, worrying about my health, worrying about art, worrying about the future…I basically worried about everything :( August was not a good month :<
September
Art drove me crazy this month. We lived, breathed, ate, cried, sang, fought and laughed...

May
Rugby Grand Slam Champs, camwhoring with . 16 girls after badminton and I remember feeling really really exhausted all the time. I believe the last photo for the month of May is a pretty good representation of the endless angst and bouts of depression that we all experienced thanks to IB.
June
A break from school at last! The trug team feasted on pizza and KFC at ZD’s...

We still had the time to fool around in the art room doing silly things and spending whole afternoons at Art Stage drinking champagne and appreciating art
February
Even though the EETOKIA monster breathed down our necks and haunted our dreams we had a lovely time celebrating ZK’s birthday, camwhoring in between performances at ACS Got Talent and I somehow managed to...

but this christmas I AM RADIATING GENUINE HAPPINESS and to the people that know me well… this seldom occurs. i am content and grateful for everything i have, i am loved and most of all i discovered this evening that my parents do not/no...

Proverbs 23:4-5
Note to self: Stop thinking about money and how you’re going to support yourself next year (FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE FROM PARENTS). Stop thinking about how many children you can POACH...

01 Spent a great deal of time talking to Sandra today in the car as we made our way to Sembawang for youth camp. She brought up quite a few things about God and church that I had hardly considered and I am so glad that she got me thinking about the little (but important) things that I have neglected.
02 Finally finished Penguin’s collection of Sherlock Holmes adventures and embarked on A...
hidden gems
Spent my afternoon with Debbie yesterday and we finally found the junk shop we were looking for!
It was full of stuff from top to bottom… literally.
A backpack carried and used by a soldier during battle in WWII (apparently hmm)
kyoto : my parents are the cutest
tokyo : autumn
birthday/xmas
a pretty picnic mat urbanears plattan headphones (tomato) a USB stick artichokes books
but to be honest the only thing i want is something that cannot be bought with money or hard work. It is an act of approval.
tokyo : waves of nostalgia
Spent my last day in Tokyo with Yuka, one of my best friends while studying at MMI in London. It was so good to see her again after saying goodbye on that wet, rainy afternoon four years ago. In 2007 we were still small, tiny Asians going gaga over manga, cute stationery and other small insignificant things that young teenage girls never fail to develop a soft spot for. Oh how we have...
There is nothing to be afraid of. There is nothing to be afraid of. I am ashamed to admit that recent dreams about dismal IB results coupled with dying in traumatic car accidents have shattered my confidence. What happened to trusting in the Lord hmm? Instead of looking forward to the new year I find myself worrying, worrying and worrying; which is bad, considering how irrational and paranoid I...
tokyo : shinagawa
A sea of Magellanic Penguins* scurrying along the wide swanky platforms at Shinagawa station every morning at rush hour.
*For some reason the endless stream of Japanese businessmen clad in black jackets and white shirts reminded me of these tiny, flightless creatures :)
tokyo : apple pastry
Half a baked apple encased in soft yet crisp golden butter brown pastry with a thin layer of custard underneath. AMAZING.
tokyo : all things panda
Panda postbox outside the Ueno Zoo
Panda popcorn
Panda cake (large)
Panda cakes (small)

spiritdeer:
Thinking about it now, it’s so odd that we worked so hard. I mean, to begin with, it’s not characteristic of us. Or me. But I was so immersed. I could throw out some obscure Chinese name and everyone would know exactly who I was talking about, I could drop the name of a developing country and give…
