have you ever been so lost?

*warning: incredibly revolting post laced with bad emotions. do not read. do not take seriously, if you do read.


i really dont know what im doing with my life, so i's not like she's not right to ask. but they dont understand that no matter how many times they ask, i still dont have the answers.

"i ask you what you want, and you tell me you dont know."

yes indeed, people. i honestly dont know. if i did know i'd be doing it already. would you rather i told you a lie? dont ask questions you dont want the answers to, so ask me no questions and i'll tell you no lies.

i know, though, that im nearly, very nearly, a full-fledged adult and i gotta start asking myself the hard questions. but...just let me be a while...im not even sure i want to continue.

im so adrift and fucking pointless, and im not sure i give a damn.

seriously. i dont see the point. why go through it all? what is the desired end result? a nice picket fence, maybe a big spacious apartment, money and happiness? then what? then what?? maybe you find new goals then. like being a soccer mom or volunteering at the animal shelter.

mostly i just want to curl up and sleep. i have no energy to do shit. cant find any motivation to even get my shit in order. and yeah it's a fucked up vicious cycle but...yeah basically i suck, and im well aware.

the one thing i know with absolute certainty is my need to get away. my desire to escape (pardon the irony that i already have, into my own mind) is greater than any other i have or may have had, since i cannot even remember a single shit goal i have. my memory is atrocious. do i have a serious condition? yes. am i using this as an excuse? probably. i still dont fucking care.

maybe it's a mid life crisis come early. maybe it's typical teen attitude come late. maybe i'll be a bum all my life...however long that might be.

it's a sad existence when the one thing that remains sharp and clear is the hate you harbor inside, keeping it alive like a warm fire in your very being as the one thing that reminds you that you are alive. hate is the only emotion that stays constant. everything else is transient and hazy, like a long forgotten memory you have not visited in a while. and that hate leads to self loathing and fear and hysterics and all else that is bad in this world - but you cannot let go of it because for so long it has been a part of you, and you cannot forgive, no matter how much you forget. you have never learned to forgive, it is simply not in your nature. and then you are aware of just what a malicious and ugly nature you possess, and the hate simmers as it always does. yet it is the only real thing tying you down, keeping you leashed to reality, or the semblance of it that you keep yourself in. sometimes you think this drugged foggy state you stay in is the only way to not want to break and stab everything; to not explode or simultaneously combust. it is a coping mechanism, and you are detached and dead inside. or you wish you were dead inside, because then you wouldnt feel and hurt and hate so much.

hating is very exhausting. it takes all the fight out of you. it requires constant energy to keep alive, so maybe that's why i never have any. all my reserves are being used to keep this malignant parasite alive. more than anything, i wish to get rid of all this loathing. and the easiest way i know is to stay away from the thing that evokes the most hate. ah, but it's not quite that simple. that would require moving out and being self-sufficient and everything, which is quite impossible when you have no marketable skills and money. cue self loathing. what a pathetic mewling quim i am. it would also require leaving the country so there would be no excuse to see this being, my mother, who most recently just now also admitted her hate for me. ahhh, so is my behaviour self righteous? dont know, dont care. just want to get the fuck away from her. so very tiring, this vicious cycle of hurting each other to see who reacts more violently. usually i cant get up enough energy to respond because that just encourages her, but on the rare occasions she gets me worked up i am the (more) violent person in this fucked up family. i throw things, and i keep revisiting thoughts of a knife. see, it's confessions like these that will get me locked up either in jail or in an asylum. so to be safe (haha, safe.) i usually stick to blank looks, mild smiles and mocking laughter. not that she appreciates them. sarcasm is very much lost on her, im afraid. such a pity.

but i was saying how lost i felt. yes...lost.

what gives people the drive to carry on in their daily activities? what exactly are they working towards? yeah you put in like what, 15 to 20 yrs of education so you can get a good job? so you can get approval? from society? your family? friends? yourself? is it so terrible living day to day, not knowing what the fuck you're doing? ugh. yeah im a lazy piece of shit, and i have no goals, and i just want to die. there, i said it. i just want to jump off a very tall building and fly. because i've always wanted to fly, like most of the world.

i considered other options. like a large vehicle at high speed crashing into me. but im lazy, and everything unnecessary was always so hard for me, and the unnecessary pain here just seems so pointless. like, you want to die? then die already, why waste time hovering in between? also you ruin the vehicle, and possibly cause a traffic accident and injuries. such asshole behaviour. drowning always seemed the worst, because of the panic and fear just before death. plus it's so ironic that the water that gives life can just as easily take it away. it's almost too poetic and beautiful for a ugly soul like me. btw please do yourself a favor and listen to "What the water gave me" by Florence + the machine. so gorgeous, the song.

an easy way would be to take many many pills and just sleep and never wake up. you can understand that this appeals to me, sloth that i am. plus i love my pillow. okay unrelated. but what if you fail? what if they pump your stomach and you just continue to live, knowing you have failed in yet another aspect? the gas thing also works. yknow, if i wasnt worried about causing an explosion. so yeah, i really prefer the flying thing. except i worry about the mess, and the people who have to clean it up. rather, clean me up, and the trauma i might inflict on any witnesses. like, you're fucked, okay whatever but dont go fucking up someone else. all that blood and insides all over the pavement can really ruin someone's day. what is this, im a considerate suicidal person? lol the irony.

not leaving behind very much. no real attachments since i suck and lost myself and pushed them all away. to be perfectly honest, i have secretly known this end to be very possible and come to terms with it for more than two years, so it's not like i would need time to work up some guts. hahaha they'd end up splattered everywhere anyway.

okay i've tortured you long enough. now enjoy the pretty gifs i started collecting last week. have a good laugh at my expense, go ahead. and watch the shows the gifs are from.

life? but it's haaaaaard :(





this makes me laugh even though im so very sad


ha, ha ha.
we are sex bob-ombs and we are here to make you feel sad and stuff! aw. great movie.

Technology, Tumblr and the game of Keep Away I play

Florence + The Machine - Spectrum

Holy shit guys!! I just saw the video for Spectrum and it is both creepy and beautiful in the most hauntingly appealing way possible!!! I CANNOT STOP RAVING ABOUT IT OMG why did I see this only now??? The video's been out since May!!

Okay take a deep breath and stop overusing the exclamation marks.

ANYWAY. That really isn't what I wanted to write about today at all.

Like I mentioned before, I've been considering getting a Tumblr recently for reasons...(mainly the idea of reblogging gifs and all the fandoms) BUT I HAVE BEEN THWARTED.

For reasons unknown, I cannot for the life of me use the Ask and Submit features on Tumblr! My friend Abigail (not the same Abigail as in Taylor Swift's famous Fifteen song, but I get why you might be confused. No actually, I'm just kidding around lol there are five point two million Abigails in the world, no one would automatically think of THAT Abigail hahaha. But it could happen. *shrug* OHMYGOD BACK TO THE POINT.) says it's got something to do with the fact that
a) I use Singtel
b) I use Chrome
c) my proxy settings
d) I use a MacBook
and after a bit (read: A WHOLE EFFING LOT, YOU SONS OF...*takes a cleansing breath*) tinkering about, i STILL cannot use the darn ask and submit features so I'm beginning to think it could also have to do with the facts that
e) I use a USB modem so the settings are different
f) I AM A FREAKING TECH NOOB AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING
probably though,
g) all of the above

This is like a "screw you" from a social platform. Like, AHAHA YOU ARE NOT WORTHY OF THE LOVED ONES YOU HAVE BETRAYED ENDLESS LOVE AND AWESOMENESS ON TUMBLR SO GTFO, AND STAY THERE!!

.
.
.
:(

not that Blogger isn't awesome. I just feel real lonely here cause all my friends have deserted Blogger years and years ago and I'm one of the last holdouts.

Despite all the help Abi gave me and some advice from Ken (not the Barbie ex lol sorry I couldn't help it) I have remained locked out of the "life blood" that makes Tumblr, according to Abi.
Yes, well. Story of my life. Lol no not really but you know what I mean.

If anyone wants to know, I keep getting shown a "Sorry, we seem to be having technical error. Please try again later." msg whenever I click on Ask/Submit and no amount of refreshes, proxy setting changes and relaunches help.

Sigh.
I am resigned to my fate. You may leave me alone to cry and hide in the Hiddles tags while simultaneously wailing "STAWP IT!" at the cold emotionless macbook screen.

All this technology stuff is damnably flabbergasting. I feel like Steve after he awoke from the 70 years he spent in the ice. Yes that was an Avengers reference. Please don't judge me, I love them so.

If you're wondering about the post title, ignorance is the player in the middle who attempts (I wouldn't call it "attempt", really, when it is "succeeds" that is more appropriate) to intercept the ball. Of course, it is a virtual ball we are talking about since Tumblr has no real arms to speak of, although it is doing a bang up job of holding me captive in the Hiddles tag.

Farewell for now my loves. I must go cry under the shower. No really, I need to go.

All that glitters are my gold stained tears

Cut It Out - Kitten

Behold! New music from one of my fave bands, Kitten. Fell in love with them back in 2010 (WOW was it really that long ago? I feel old.) when they released their EP Sunday School with the lead track Kill The Light. All fantastic songs that still give me shivers of delight and were the reason I begun listening to this genre. Their new EP, Cut It Out, is out August 28th and I can't wait!

I looooove this band cause the lead singer, Chloe, has dreamy vocals and I adored the vibes I got from their songs. Their new songs are more...electro pop-ish but I still dig it for Chloe's sugary vocals. Although I dont really get the new look. Gold glitter everywhere. Very hipster.
Sexy smoke with a midas touch
 Kinda prefer the look from their first EP, but that's me, cause I have a soft spot for 50's style. But look! Dont you just adore the makeup and clothes??
Costs USD5 from their merch store,  tempted for the prettiness of it all
Okay I promise I didnt start this post with the intention of promoting them, it just happened cause I'm streaming their songs in the background. I'm just so excited because so many of my fave artists have upcoming projects or recently released their newest albums.

Apparently Kitten performs with Paramore today! ARGHHH so wish I could see that show but sigh, these are the woes of one who doesnt live in the States. If I did, I could probably drive around going to shows but no, I live in sunny Singapore, where shows are few and expensive. For example, Robyn is coming in September, but I cannot afford the good tickets, and I am reluctant to risk buying the cheap $88 (still not that cheap considering I havent got an income) since I have no idea what the visibility is like, 2 levels up from the stage. What if I cant even see anything? :( & then there's Sigor Ros coming in November, $110 for each ticket. Yeah how do people afford these concerts! Oh well.

Gonna just drown my sorrow in Marina and the Diamonds live on Youtube Presents. Or CSI Las Vegas on tv now. Bye for now!

It's that time again

Yes, it's that time again when I, nostalgic and weary, pop by my old, old blog and wonder to myself: Is it time for a proper resurrection or should I finally let it be laid to rest, deleted and forgotten about?

Well. Being the sentimental fool I am, I doubt I would ever have the heart to delete the random, angsty musings of Young Grace. I still get a rush whenever I delve into the archives and read an old post. A bit like rediscovering yourself, except I'm not quite sure where or when I lost myself. Whoops! Starting to sound melancholy. Fear not, my non-existent readers, I shall stick to the cheery side of things :)

It's quite sad however, to see that I have stopped writing completely, seeing as I used to enjoy it so much.

I rather think I owe it to myself to try it again. I have rather missed writing, even if it's not old school writing with a pen. My penmanship could use the practice however. I digress.

I think it's time I start writing again, just because I could use the practice. See, lately I find myself at a loss for words more often than I care to admit. I can almost feel my brain turning to goo in my skull. With a lack of use for it, my words and grasp of the English language becomes worse than a 12 year old - I no longer have smart, witty things to say, and it terrifies me because I'm pretty sure my words were the only appealing thing about me.

But in the fast paced world of today, words seem to be less of import. Everybody prefers pictures now. Fast and easy to understand. Requires less time and brain cells than a paragraph. Thus, the whole world is on tumblr, which I love, but sadly I am a tech noob and is too afraid and stupid to learn new technology - something, I'm sure, a 20 year old should not be saying. I've always been more inclined to words, I'm afraid, and posting pictures was never a thing I did when blogging, even at the height of its popularity in the early 2000s.

Regardless, I agree that a post with some sort of visual is way more attractive than a long wordy post - like this. Hahaha. So I will learn to post pictures, and I will start now.

Let it suffice to say that I am gonna try my hand at blogging again. And you, my strange, faceless, internet friend, will be my companion on this journey.

(On a side note, I've recently contemplated starting my own tumblr because of...well, reasons but I'm afraid I'll be too dumb to know how. Plus I really want to make gifs but have no PS skills to speak of so...I guess I won't be going down that road, unless I somehow try it and find it easy. SO WHAT WAS THE POINT OF TELLING YOU THIS? Gosh. So annoying. Sorry :< Here's a cute elephant pic that shows how I feel now, hope that appeases you.)

crazy yes dumb no

the title might just sum up all that i am perfectly :)

still loving this cover by The Naked + Famous after so long.



yknow i really should be sewing up my pants for submission now but instead im sitting in the studio, wasting precious time. not good.

although submission's monday, i really shouldnt be procrastinating! i cant wait to try on my pants. i managed to reuse the fabric i used for my men's pants, which is awesome cause the unused pile of fabric at home is about to reach the ceiling, and i really havent room to store much more.

i am so going to need more storage boxes and a whole walk in closet when i start my Final Year Project later this year. Imagine the fabrics i'll use! Jay said we'll die if we do multi pieced outfits we can work very fast.

Well fast isnt exactly a word i'd use to describe me :D
but i love separates! jackets, cover-ups, throwovers, layers, i love them all!
i am petrified about FYP and only a little bit less scared of internship.
like i previously mentioned, i'll be interning at Zhai starting 1st August for 3 months, and i am really starting to freak out!! what if i dont measure up? what if i screw up? what if what if what if??????

:<

on a happier note, Harry Potter is out today.
TODAY.
TODAY!!!

All imax shows are fully booked til next week though, not that im complaining given that i've no money to go see it. But im looking forward to seeing it soon!! I MUST GET MY POTTER FIX. although we all know it's the redhead Grint i want to see.
AND THE HOGWARTS FIGHT. oh my gosh the Hogwarts fight. i could weep just thinking about it.

But enough dawdling. My pants await me.
It's back to sewing now!

Vampire smile

Recently obsessed over Kyla La Grange!
she's been in my playlist for awhile but i have periods whereby im just obsessed over certain songs and replay them over and over again so i kinda "rediscover" songs in my itunes all over again haha.

But OMG i used to be like, meh when i listened to Kyla but it grew on me and now im like HELLYEAH REPLAAAAY

im fucking in love with her lyrics and soft folksy tone of her voice.





lyrics taken from her facebook page.

i need to go cry now, she's so freaking amazing i am overwhelmed.

**edited
okay im back because i cant freaking get over how obsessed i am over the lyrics, and i realised the pic's kinda small so if you cant see, i've typed it out for you.


Vampire Smile

Baby you need to leave
Cos im getting drunk on your noble deeds
It doesn’t matter that they never get done
When I feel this cold they’re like the fucking sun
Baby I need a friend
But im a vampire smile you’ll meet a sticky end
And here im trying not to bite your neck
But it’s beautiful and im gonna get
So drunk on you and kill your friends
Then you’ll need me and we can be obsessed
And I can touch your hair
And taste your skin
And the ghosts wont matter cos we’re high on sin

Baby you have a choice
Cos you burn my ears with your magic voice
Im a paper doll, you can tear me up
We’ll be the broken lovers with the poison cup
And we’ll draw in breaths, like we don’t have air
Oh god look at me don’t you even care
That im dying in the cupboard underneath the stairs
Steps stomp on above my head

Baby you’re cruel to me
But don’t you see I love it when you make me plead
But I want a scar that looks just like you
Til then I’ve got to learn to be a wiser fool

Baby you need to leave
And I know you know; that’s why you keep
Ignoring me, because if you don’t
Gonna run me down
Let myself go


i swear she's a genius. how can she sum up these feelings so nonchalantly and awesomely???? i am spazzing in amazement. i need to like print these lyrics out and paste them on my wall or something.

have a harry july

hello dearies, it's the morning (or night) before school starts for my last block at school prior the internship and im reluctant to go to bed cause i dont want the holidays to end :<

however a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do so after this post imma be a good girl and head off to dreamland.

it's July now, and im not sad to see June go because the heat was really getting to me. I love summer as much as anyone but truth be told, I cant wait for fall/winter collections to be out in stores!! I've always had a weakness for A/W collections esp since i ADORE knits. so i say goodbye to the Great Singapore Sale with only one purchase (CLOSE YOUR MOUTH PEOPLE, IT'S TRUE) and await not-so-patiently the arrival of A/W collections!

the weather has been hinting at rains and cooler days which i hope is not a lie because how else can i wear my beloved long sleeved jackets, tops and sweaters?

and other than the allure of lower temperatures, July brings with it.......the release of the final movie in the Harry Potter series *sniff*. It's been a long time coming and I for one am having a love-hate feeling about watching it cause well, it's the end of it, forever!

feeling sentimental about it, i indulged in my favourite holiday ritual last week and re-read the books, and cried my eyes out all over again. it was just like I rmbed it, book 7, it was a whirlwind of non-stop action from the Malfoys til the end.

i'm looking forward to seeing Rupert Grint do more in the film cause well, he's such a good actor and i just love watching him portray Ron Weasley.

sigh. out in theatres July 14. I better be wearing waterproof mascara when i go watch it with the girls.

on a happier note, im eagerly anticipating the release of the A/W 2011 Aldo shoes photoshoot! Lily Donaldson is gonna be in it, just like S/S 2011, but i secretly prefer Jessica Stam, although im biased cos Jess Stam is one of my fave models. Lily D., is really pretty though and i have nothing against her, and i cant wait to see the shoot! Again, it's shot by Terry Richardson and this is the only pic i could find on the net. For now, anyway. I hope they're released soon!
teehee, look. Bunnies! Cue "awwww" :)

i havent packed my bag for school and i certainly havent found a first-day-back outfit :(

wish i had some preppy outfit planned but i really dont, which is sad.

okay gonna leave y'all with a cute vid of a giant spider terrorizing people. this song was featured in last year's Aldo Jessica Stam video. super cute song.

goodnight! :)


Wednesday, June 15, 2011

Oh June! Where did April go? Is May there too?

hello my imaginary friends!

i realised i keep promising to keep up with posts then spam for a few days, then disappear for a few months. that is sad.

:(

i really am disgustingly busy with school thus the prolonged absence, boohoo.

im a senior in school now, btw. im a third year student! and im only a 6weeks away from my internship. yes, i am going to be an intern. and i already have a company! can you believe that?? a company actually wants (or doesnt particularly mind) me as their intern!!! HAHAHA gawd i hope i dont screw up. oh if you're interested the company's this local brand, Zhai, which does eco clothing. Bamboo, to be specific. They're a really young brand, only bout 18 months old, and im really excited about interning there.

i admit it's not exactly my dream internship but come on, how many of us get that the first time round? i think i already got real lucky w Zhai cause i get to help the brand grow as they're so young! teehee.

anyway i've been spamming music vids on my fb account lately instead of posting here oops.

so much has happened since my last post in March!! there was camp, and then camp again, and then the whirlwind of school that started brewing in March and exploded into a tornado of work recently with all my portfolio preparations, photoshoot, and interview. now the worst of it has passed and i just finished my final presentation for my current module (and i DO mean JUST, like i literally started typing this post 5seconds after i finished presentation) but i kinda feel like im in the eye of the hurricane where there's temporary calm (AKA my 2wk break from school) and then BAM WHAM KABLAM it's even worse than before!!
yeah after my 2wk holiday i got another month of crazy 2module block (morning class AGAIN, COME ON) and a sewing one at that so you just know it's gonna be a whole-day-in-school-everyday kinda block. and the other module's basic Jap so idk if that's good or bad.

as with all languages im insanely scared i'll fail like i do at math, and im gonna be terrified everytime there's a quiz or worse, when it's time for the role play.

damn i hope i know some people in my class else it's gonna be like sad and awkward. imagine Barney Stinson saying awkward when you read that last sentence, so it's all like high pitched and dragged out. AWKwaaaard......

speaking of which! i havent watched a single episode of HIMYM since ep15 w Katy Perry so i've got an awesome marathon awaiting me! :D

and *insert drumroll* im also gonna post my portfolio photoshoot up here so fwensies (LOL I CANT BELIEVE I JUST SAID THAT.) can see it. my carbonmade and shownd sites are great, but i've run out of pics on carbonmade, and shownd wont let me post bigger than 3mb -.- and yknow me, im lazy as hell to resize them HAHA so instead imma just post...them......here?

hmm it just occurred to me that may actually be more work hahahahhaa jeez im such a lazy ass.


actually yknow i've been more busy in the past few weeks than possibly my entire 2 and a half years here in design school. ok it's not just that there's been more on my plate than just 2 modules, but also that i've been working my ass off more in the past 2months than ever before.

i've actually not did things with the "heck care luh just get it done" attitude but instead tried my best and got some results. and im really happy cos for once i can say i worked really hard for it.
okay it's not like i havent worked hard for ANYTHING in the past 2yrs, i have, but i've been like, CONSISTENTLY PRODUCTIVE in the past 2mths as compared to before when i'll just be "on" for a while then it'll die off. very flaky, yknow?

i just...im proud of me, which is rare and generally a miracle. so, yay me, bimbotic as that may sound :)

okay i'll leave you with my portfolio link, which you can view if you're bored/interested/looking for something to hate on. okay actually dont view if you're the last option. it still isnt perfect, but im working on it so yeah.

toodles for now :)

my first 2011 post

wow, can you believe it's been over 3months since my last post?

amazing.

anyhoo.

as Nylon says,
Getting to know a new band is a lot like accepting a random Facebook request: A mutual friend goes a long way.

so it seems over the past six months i've made a lot of new friends. except in my case we have no mutual friends :(

so im a noob, so idk how to link the video (i cant find it on youtubeeeeee) so watch this video HERE!

The Cults with "Go Outside". cute, huh? and who doesnt love Emma Roberts??? i so love how she goes back into the tv. it's like she's a fairy who appears in your life for a little while and makes it all better, but she cant stay cos she gotta go make someone else's life a little bit better, too. AWWWWWWW.

it's one of my first few fave songs since my musical tastes started evolving last year. and when i say evolve, i mean i became more open minded to listening to previously unheard of songs from new bands. i used to be a strictly mainstream kinda girl. "what you hear on the airwaves only". now i know how crazy i was. hello! the best stuff is online these days. gawd im slow. yes.

okay, im currently typing this during class. consultation w lecturer in a bit.

what class am i having?
Communicating Design Arguments.

sounds fun, huh?

sigh.

The week that wasn't

this week blew past so fast im not convinced it has been a full week.

monday i left class at 6 on the dot. only to eat a quick dinner and go home (& spam watch HIMYM, 6 eps in one night is so good)

tuesday i left class again at 6 on the dot (what is the point?) and went to town to watch Easy A (OH YES finally.) w Huiting. i waited for this movie so, so very long. If you dont like this movie....i need to re-think our friendship. Just kidding.

wednesday. ah wednesday. the one day i stayed late in school, only to do nothing. not kidding. but we did show up for class in Pikachu hats.

thursday there was no class so i went to Chinatown and got fabric w friends, then got to sch in the pouring rain. The rain was so heavy i wasnt sure i would make it to City Hall to meet my friends by 6. i reached sch slightly before 5pm, got paper for paper patterns and left at 5.30, making it to town by 6.05pm.
where i was shocked to discover my first meetup with longtime friends was so not just a meetup with longtime friends. in short, i was surprised as hell and got as much out of the night as i get from class w Veron.

meh. i was awful company the whole night, which is not that much of a deviation from my usual behaviour these days. i am really bad at being social nowadays. it's like im a block of wood. a block of violently angry, stoic wood.

i wanted to apologize, but didnt feel all that sorry bout it, so i didnt. i might be an angsty bitch, but im a sincere angsty bitch.

friday came. went to class, left soon after it ended and headed to town to meet the girls for dinner. i was less disgusting than the night before, but nowhere near chirpy. and i have no idea why. i guess im just terrible company.

highlights of the week:
December allowance that is already half gone
getting into DOC as a GL. im a GL. lol.

The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart - Everything With You



"Start off sometimes, now its our time
Are you with me? Are you with me?
Strange teenager, waiting for death at 19
Are you with me? Are you with me?"

Striving to be a better person, becoming worse everyday, but trying all the same
If i ever hurt or upset you, i probably didnt mean to.
Terrible at expressing myself, good at pushing people away.
IM A TEENAGER :D
best excuse ever.

also, i was PMSing.

Sunday Girl on Sunday

am distracted again. since it's Sunday, i thought i'd share one of my recent fave songs thanks to the Standard Culture playlists. the video below is a track by Sunday Girl, called Four Floors.

it really grows on you. a month ago i was like, hmm. now, im like, YEEEEAAAAAH.

hope it doesnt load too slowly.

oh i went to her site, Sunday Girl i mean, and it turns out she performed at the Ellie Goulding concert! I love Ellie Goulding. i wish more artists like these two were more popular so everyone can hear them and love them.

So Little Time

am currently visiting random blogs and listening to playlists from Standard Culture, tryna get inspiration for my 50 sketches!

i gotta have 50 sketches of kidswear for a little girl between the ages of 5 to 7 done by tmr. and i have barely started :(

the mood is
and the inspiration is
HAH im just kidding. that's the prob. i have little to no inspiration. i'd draw one outfit, then stone, then surf some sites, and draw another.

oh i just got a text. which reminds me of how i got woken up by Pearlyn (AGAIN) asking me if i wanted to stay over at her place tonight. the crazy girl! as though she's finished all her work.

actually, knowing her, she probably has.

Birds

Hi guys, im currently waiting for Huiting. i asked her out for lunch at 1.15pm and have since been waiting. it's been one and a half hours in total :(

okay i just called her and she said she'll meet me in ten min at the coffee shop.
i know watcha thinking. "i've heard that before..."

lol ok give her benefit of the doubt.

it's been a crazy fast week! i spent Wednesday and Thurs w Meryl, Pearlyn, Sammy and Charis at Pearl's new pad. We painted her walls.

if you look carefully you'll see the left and right side branches and leaves are of unequal thickness. that's cos Sammy had the fat brush and i had the fine one.

who's that below? i think Pearl and Charis.

our pretty lamppost looked has a little problem.


Kay peeps i gotta fly. it's gonna be 3pm in 1min and it takes me bout 3min to get to the coffee shop. i guess i've kept her waiting long enough?

Enjoy.

A whole day to myself

Hi loves. This has been an awesome weekend with the terror mostly not at home and me enjoying a peaceful wkend at home. Ah, the sweetness.

Anyways i was thinking of how much DRAMA the past wk has come with! Do you not agree??
Let's recount:
1) Pink pregnant (yay)
2) Eva Longoria/Tony Parker spilt (:O how could anyone cheat on EVA LONGORIA??)
3) Jessica Simpson engaged SO SOON after ex husband Nick Lachey's engagement
4) Release of HP7 Pt1 worldwide
5) Prince William engaged to Kate Middleton!!
6) Ryan Reynolds Sexiest Man 2010 + star of Green Lantern (i just found out this wk)
(disclaimer: the next few items come from a biased me)
7) Lee DeWyze on various talk shows :D
8) Jake G & Anne H on cover of Entertainment Weekly, which reminds me of the supposed romance between Jake G and Taylor Swift.

Whew.

Btw, im a huge cartoon fan so i loved Justice League and Green Lantern was always one of my faves, so i really hope they dont butcher this film. But like, wasnt Green Lantern African-American in Justice League??? oh well, if there's a whole civilization of Green Lanterns...
Well at least im not hating the star. Like w some other Marvel superhero movies, which could only have been better w other leads.
i.e. Eric Bana in Hulk (sorry, not a big Eric Bana fan. i liked him in Troy, but in Hulk he wasnt all that believable as the big green guy) and *rolls eyes* Tobey Maguire as Spiderman. sheesh. in what universe is he believable as the friendly, neighbourhood Spiderman??? someone w more charisma shd hv done it.

ok sorry, im biased.
never was a fan of Kirsten Dunst, but srsly, Tobey as Spidey killed that film franchise for me. I loved the cartoons, though.

changing the subject, if it were true, i think Jake Gyllenhaal (gawd it's so long to spell imma just call him Jake G from now) and Taylor Swift make a really cute couple. They're just so different, visually and artistically (big time Hollywood films and country music? i only see the Brokeback link) that it's so cute. I really wanna see how this turns out.
If nothing it would still make great material for her next album.

Speaking of which, i still have not bought my music albums.

Having a total of $6 left for the rest of November does that to you.

here're some pics as homage to HP7 opening week!

Bonnie Wright! doesnt she look oh so spiffy? i think she looks awesome. the makeup makes her look so soft and feminine!

Emma Watson w her Burberry handbag. i LOVE this outfit. To me, Emma Watson constantly has fashion hits-and-misses, but this is one of the good ones.
Dont go hatin' on me, peeps, this is just my personal opinion. I just think tht she tends to dress a bit older than her years, and it doesnt always compliment her. But kudos to her for being brave! What's fashion without risk, right?
Maybe a post on that next time. Loving her pixie crop btw.

On a side note, thinking of doing something to my hair soon. When my December allowance rolls in, that is. im thinking lotsa lowlights, and a little bit of curl.

And to prove my determination to make this work, here's one of my newest fave songs!

BE WARNED: I've been addicted ever since i first heard it bout two months ago. This may go on repeat on your music players for oh i dont know, forever.

Of green curry and milk tea dates

Last night i went out with my cousins Kenneth and Kelvin for the first time tgt as a trio and it would suffice to say it was awkward. But at least we tried.

During food time (i cant rmb which, we ate 3x) Kelvin was asking me if i was familiar with the feeling of sometimes becoming melancholy and all emo-nemo.

me: "Yeah i know that feeling. Every month, during PMS! What's YOUR excuse?"

hah.

And when i got home, i spent an awesome night checking out some of my newfound fave artists and their music.

Which, i will share with you once i figure out how to post videos. Lol.

Til then, please mourn the early demise of my short-lived freedom.

Love from prison,
Grace
