DO YOUR ECONS ESSAY VELVET.

sorry just needed to remind myself.

Such a long time since I posted. I seem to be doing sporadic posts now, instead of regular ones like I usually do. Simply run out of time or the energy to do so, I suppose. :\ I think I’ve changed. Changed as in, changed in my feelings. This time last year I would be incredibly perky and have no trouble doing late nights in Prague, but now I prefer to nap as much as I can. I’m glad I only have one subject which has two lectures per week, so I end up falling asleep mostly in them, but they’re only two lectures so it ain’t that bad.

Here are some random thoughts flitting in my head:

a) Nic and I take really few photos together. I don’t know if it’s because we don’t often take photos or that we don’t often meet or that we don’t often want to, but we just don’t! I’ll be spamming my camera with loads of other people, but with her there doesn’t seem to be a need to do so, as if we aren’t going to see each other anymore, you know what I mean? It’s really strange, I wonder if it holds a certain meaning…

b) I should catch up on my homework, since tomorrow is going to be another long day at school. So glad IS is ending this Saturday, I’ll be able to book Theastai slots properly and also enjoy a bit.

c) I’m truly lost inside. I don’t know if I’m gone. Hmm.

d) Miriam and I talked about colours and I realised that my colours are that which embody/can be found on Snape.

e) I am gradually reaching the point where I can go without sleep and live effectively. Back to Square One. Joy.

I was supposed to be heading to the airport today for my Moment of Contemplation, which was really to stone and give my mind a mental break. Things ran long though but I’m glad it did, I accomplished the rabbit cuffs and managed to see Andre who gave me a nice brotherly hug. Sometimes I wonder what things would have been like if Yu Ting and I were on close terms…I wish Dre was my real brother! :(

Can’t wait to go to New York and see whether the air is fresh like UK. Oh my god I hope the toilets are as good as UK’s too. Coloured toilet paper was weird though. I like the way things are going with Calzona right now, hoping that the plot will thicken like it did. Maybe get Arizona pregnant and also some lover to come back and show Arizona/Callie fighting for each other. Ooh, maybe something with Erica coming back! Gosh all fanficers will go dewy-eyed at having their plotlines come true.

It’s 9pm, time to do work. Let’s reach the end of this year!

Maybe it’s just me, but I think I’ve regressed to the point of childlike lucidity. Does that make sense?

Just couldn't find the mood to blog these days. Recently during the holidays, my brilliant mind decided to make pasta. Being the inventive innovator I am, I googled for mango based pasta (it is normal people, it is a normal dish.) and got mango salsa pasta. Modified it a bit with the ingredients I had at home and it tasted pretty good! I gotta cut down on the Parsley Leaves and add more salt though. The leaves were too overpowering, make it smell weird.

I miss cooking a lot. Like, I miss just experimenting with the ingredients in my cupboard. I have a talent for imagining appropriate combinations which aren't too disgusting and would taste like vomit. Chocolate pasta is doable, I just googled it and it's an Italian Dessert! #FYEAHIMITALIAN I just did it wrongly, not knowing how to melt proper cooking chocolate. Lesson learnt and I forever remember it. Never melt Cadbury chocolate in a pot on its own, it'll burn. Mum taught me roughly how to.

Talking to Nic now, ciao! :)

Promised Mat I'll blog this thought out so that she can see this, so here it goes!

During CCA today we had to do face painting practice, so I got half my face painted in a lovely tone of dark blue, next best after black. It was a tribal sort of painting and improvised by Grace, a fellow Drama kid. :) It's pretty scary looking when I do a scary face, so there!

Here's what I thought. Technically, my face is a novelty when I'm walking at City Square or within the MRT parameters. So of course, I wasn't surprised that there would be people staring at me and all, and I understand why, because they are curious. It's in human nature to do so after all! The thing that surprised me however, were the people who didn't look at me. They didn't realise this novelty passing by because they were distracted by their phones or ipods or whatever electronic device in their hands.

Which brings me to my point. I felt that it was quite sad that in today's society people have become unaware of their surroundings because of being engrossed in something small. They forsake the whole big picture for this small detail that leads to another big picture. So it's something of an opportunity cost,which we learnt in Econs, but is it really worth it? So I took this to another level and tried my best to notice people who were staring at me. 

There was this particular guy who stared at me. Whether he's someone from AC (I don't think so, he seems like an adult), or just a normal passerby, he stared curiously, and his face was really exaggerated. It was a bit awkward because well, I couldn't decide if he was trying to prevent himself from laughing. Anyway, he had this curious eyebrow thing going on, so I made contact with him. To everyone I'm just a random student in black clothes. Not even my shorts logo could be seen, so I'm "Anonymous girl with tattooed face" to them. He smiled slightly at me since I happened to make eye contact, and I smiled back a little, pretending I had no clue why he was staring at me. 

That was what got me thinking about this whole awareness issue. It's not about what they were thinking, but the fact that they were aware of someone in the surroundings, and some who are not aware that just made me feel enlightened about how serious the issue of technology overtaking the society's awareness is now.

Food for thought: Is it really true that technology is important when you know the current affairs of other countries and not your own, at real time?

If people often asked me "Penny for your thoughts?", I'll be fucking rich now.

I've been having random enlightenments, random thoughts popping out that makes this confusing world just that little bit clearer.

If I ever couldn't talk for some reason, my communication method would be an itouch and playing songs at appropriate moments. 

Yup, that's my thought for the night. :)

Calzona is as addictive as Snarry. I'm back to the first stages of fangirling, and this time, this couple actually exists in the plot. So there! :D

a) I hope I can take a driver license test this year. But the only available one seems to be the basic motorcycle course LOL. It'll be strange, since all I ever wanted to drive was an SUV/Jeep/sports car.

b) Today I'm staying at home to be a rotting potato. Cleared up my files, so yay me! Now I'm just reading Time and doing random stuff. 

c) I need to go shopping. Guh. 

d) I hope I didn't develop an inflammation or infection. It'll be really time consuming. :( I wanna go for swimming lessons still!

e) Hullabaloo, here I come, Great Expectations! Shall go to the library soon to borrow it and other Victorian Classics.

Fucking hell I just received news Alan might take Seminar to West End. If he does I'm so booking a trip to UK to watch it, all my pennies in the couch be damned. :(

Well really, I haven't been uploading via LJ itself because of the newest interface having some problems previously...so life has been pretty much routine, slacking, going to work, hanging out, slacking, going to work, hanging out. You get the drift.

I honestly cannot wait for the end of work so that I can prepare for school. I guess that small part of me, the seven year old mentality will always be excited when a new term starts. So much unknown happening in a month! :D

Work has been fun, it has been tough, it has been boring. More boring and fun at the same time, hard to explain! Nonetheless, Christmas is coming and I can't wait hehe.

Merry Xmas in Advance!  :) 

I need to get my blogging skills back, been out too long hmm.

Work today was so much better than Monday’s, way more exciting!

a) Helped to shift Art Pieces around.

b) Met the 10-7 lady. Heard she’s the manager, but I may have heard wrong.

c) Did emails to a whole lot of people and they were impressed.

d) Was asked to finish some cake they bought and it was yummy!

e) They cracked some joke with me in it, in Tamil. Not that I don’t mind, but I wish I knew what it meant.

f) Advertising went well today! :D

g) Got my first cheque. PAYDAY.

h) I forgot what I was about to blog.

i) My bladder was bursting but I held it and went home to pee.

 

CARA’S HOME. YAY. :D <3

 

Now I just need to get my work done and I can go to sleep.

Time for another round of Velvet’s random blogposts! :D

*cues entry music*

That longing when she comes into my mind’s eye and I yearn for her to materialise immediately. Yup, just want to be full of magic so that I can make my wishes come true heh.

Exams are almost over, 2 left to go. Multiple choices, so I’m not too worried about them. Going shopping tomorrow, something which I’ve been longing to do. Long to go shopping for books and cds more though, yet I need the clothes more urgently. :) Can’t wait to restructure my room and pack up stuff. I’ve already packed 3/4 of my school books, just need to get the other two exams over and done with so that I can officially throw donate my textbooks and clean guidebooks away. I tore like dozens of papers whee, absolute therapy!

So the job briefing today went well, was supremely distracted by the lady’s eyeliner. Nonetheless the job sounds interesting, totally can’t wait to start that one night’s work! Earn the moolah, to help boost the allowance and all. Wish I had a permanent job though. Oh, I forgot to ask about Kumon! Must ask them about marking homework. Apparently they pay, so that’s good.

Courses wise, I reckon I’ll take French and read up on cooking. Since I can’t buy books just of yet, I’m going to visit the library more often and start writing down a list of books I read. I read some good books before, but I just cannot remember what! It’s infuriating me. What with the holiday season starting soon, I must admit, I’m at a loss as to what to give my friends and beloved.

A dip in the poole. Wanna go swimming soon. (: Gee, these few weeks are going to pass by in a frenzy!! :D

On another note, I’m almost done with the King’s Speech! Yay, it’s such a good book. Really easy read once you get over the dry beginning. The middle bit gets pretty scandalous with King David’s affair and abdicating of the throne. Alright, time to go! Until then! :)
