SCREAM

Thursday, November 19, 2009

my tv internet sucks asssss. well basically, i paid £9.99 for 24hours of internet access using the television in my room and sucky keyboard the hotel provided. it's raining CATS AND DOGS (by angmo standards) right now! wellll the only good thing is that i can play Kings of Leon on the tele.

Nothing else in the world comes close to family (heartshape)

Dubai's airport is beautiful! even nicer than our Changi airport. my humble opinion only :)

oh yeah. on family. after a 7 hour flight from Dubai and a 1 hour delay waiting for lost baggage (i know, WTF?!) i was sooo happy to see my sister waiting for me at the Birmingham airport! i literally ran hehe.

I didn't go to London afterall so sorry dudes i didn't check out Burberry for y'all. I TOOK A TRAIN TO CAMBRIDGE INSTEAD. AND GUESS WHO I SAW IN CAMBRIDGE???

LILY COLE WAS IN CAMBRIDGE!

Lily Cole! like, the model!!! the moment i got back to Leicester i googled her and found out that she indeed studies at cambridge! OMGOMG I SAW LILY COLE IN REAL LIFEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

i was a fan of hers like 2 years ago! cos she got discovered after grabbing a burger or something by some top photographer. i read about her first in Dolly magazine though! SHE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE ... HERSELF. yep she walked straight out of the fashion magazine!

Leicester was really cool in every sense. even the weather. my brother took a 5 hour train ride to meet us all over the weekend so thankss bro! my sis skipped an important lecture to fetch me from the airport so thanks sis!

The food in Leicester thus far is better than the food herein Edinburgh though. We had indian food with my sister's friends and they were rally nice and i was kinda shocked when one of them kissed my cheek. hehe. brit hospitality? but they are all so likeable :)

Jie's house has a freaking GARDEN!! how coooool is that?! complete with a garden shed! but she puts her washing machine/dryer there or something-.- her bedroom window overlooks her neighbour's garden and they have a statue of Buddha in their garden. haha.

I HAVE BEEN GETTING OBESE. 3 meals a day all at restaurants. my sister brought me to her favourite place for eggs benedict and the hollandaise sauce was all right. but our spanish tapas dinner was (Y)(Y)!!

I LOVE JANE NORMAN.
like seriously, we NEED Jane Norman in singapore!
and i checked out Jack Wills in Edinburgh and Jack Wills (Y) too!

oh so i took a freaking long 5 hour train ride to Edinburgh, Scotland. Edinburgh is LIKE A DREAM. all the buildings are old and ancient. like from some period drama. I checked out Edinburgh castle and St. Giles Cathedral. St Giles Cathedral is one of the most beautiful places i've ever seen in my life. I can't really compare it to West Minister Abbey in London because i was pretty young when i last visited there. I was like 13? But the stained glass windows were breathtaking.

i absolutely cannot understand why my brother isn't happy here. he is living in such a beautiful city and his house is much nicer than the one in singapore! HIS ROOM OVERLOOKS A FREAKING MOUNTAIN! and it's twice as big as his room in singapore. complete with nice yellow lighting from a pretty ceiling light. not our plain white round light back home. hmph. i wanted to stay in his room but nope he didn't welcome his little sister and made her stay in a hotel room ALL ALONE WTF.

staying alone in a hotel room is pretty intimidating honestly. it makes me feel so grown up. like how we've really all grown up. the reality that my older siblings left home really hit me a few days ago. WOW. it's not that they are just "out' and not back home yet. but when i saw their other HOME in a foreign place... i really understood that they now live elsewhere. they have a life at a place foreign to me. their home is not my home.

-emo tears-

but i felt pretty SAD :( when my sis refered going home as going home. home as in her carpeted cold cold house somewhere near her uni.

oh well. we are all growing up.

i want to get into the university of edinburgh SO DAMN BADLY NOW. i like edinburgh even more so than oxford (not saying that i can ever get accepted though). but edinburgh is so prettyyyyy.

can't believe in stuck in the hotel BLOGGING while waiting for the rain to stop. it has stopped already i think. but my uggs are still wet from the rain and i have to wait for my brother to finish class so he can bring me somewhere cooooool.

like a pub dinner. which dearest sister refused me even when josie, amy AND lucy (her friends) expressed shock at how i've never been drinking and dancing late into the night. I WANT A PUB DINNER!

oh well at least sister is coming up here tomorrow so i shall not have tosleep alone.

i don't know where my parents are now. PUB LUNCHING MAYBE

so yeah. without a handphone, wet shoes, alone and stuck in the hotel.

i need to go get a haggis.

i want to listen to The Smiths right now.
"to die by your side, is such a heavenly way to die"

times have changed. life is different compared to the start of 2009.

my last trip to Malaysia was only 4 nights but felt like forever away from some people at home. the highlight of every day came in the form of an email. coming from someone i was hopelessly crushing on(i like to think that it was love).

yeah so no more one thousand word emails to intoxicate me.

boys. yeah. whatever.
(sibyl, agree with me?)

nah i don't have to worry because he won't ever read this :) i wonder who would bother reading this wall of text. oh well thanks yimo. for emailing me cos i was yimo-ing (emo-ing) about my sad sad inbox. and i'm sure you've had enough of me going "HE DIDN'T REPLY MY SMSES!~ (AGAIN)".

Thanks thanks thanks. i am grateful to all the tolerant angels around me. i love you all.

and so it takes a 5 hour train ride to finally decide that i'm over it.

i hate pretending to be cool about it in front of others. i am SO NOT cool. we are SO NOT okay.

i wrote some emo shit when caiyi was sleeping at the benches and i had no one to speak to.

something like what earth beneath my feet crap. -deleted portion-

this is what happens when im lonely. i won't lie and say i blog when i'm bored. i type long incoherent essays when i feel sad. and alone. in a foreign place.

Thursday, November 12, 2009

today, i ate Tori-Q, green tea steamed cake, soonkueh with loads of chilli (thanks caiyi!), hargow, fried rice andand i can't remember but i'm sure theres more!

one huge plate of soba and BIXIES with rice milk for breakfast :D

i love rice milk! the normal rice milk from supermarkets or the korean rice milk are both lovelyyyyy -heartshape-

i think i am damn aunty sia. i'm just leaving for a few days and i feel the need to stuff myself silly with food i won't get to eat when i am travelling.

SIGH.

ohoh. yesterday's japanese beef curry with rice, soft shell crab and agedashi tofu was whooooooooop!

I AM NOT GONNA WEIGH MYSELF LOL.


hehe i've been feeding my mommy a lot recently so hopefully she will get her weight up and not feel cold 24/7 when we leave -.-


hehehe strategic positioning of the peace sign to block the pimple HEHEHE

i've figured out how to edit lighting and colours to get the uljjang skin tone! (i hope)

what the fish man i'm so screwed. my luggage is not packed yet.

As I spent the 30 minutes walking in darkness, I noticed how the sky turns dark earlier towards the end of the year. I was thinking of the soundtrack to Jon & Kate + 8.

Here we are, this is not quite like the movies
Everything plays out in real time
The pretty boys, the pretty girls, the orchestral moments
They all gather good story lines

Where is the one who was coming to save me?
Where is the smile in the final embrace?
And where is the twist at the end of the story,
Where everything falls into place?

i wish you happiness, through the evil words that you may speak. maybe your life is more vibrant, your sins make you less meek.

i'm not without flaw. i have such an ugly heart, like i always say, but i'm just trying my best to manage. the best that i can be.

i wish you happiness :)

COLOUR UP MY LIFE WITH THE CHAOS OF TROUBLE.

fuckyeahHAPPY!
i am so blessed with my friends <3


i am leaving friday morning. first thing after Oral Presentation is to get my arse out of Singapore. Burberry and H&M awaits. (YOU, GO SULK IN CORNERRRR!~)

The Art of Disappearing

When they say Don't I know you?
say no.

When they invite you to the party
remember what parties are like
before answering.
Someone telling you in a loud voice
they once wrote a poem.
Greasy sausage balls on a paper plate.
Then reply.

If they say We should get together
say why?

It's not that you don't love them anymore.
You're trying to remember something
too important to forget.
Trees. The monastery bell at twilight.
Tell them you have a new project.
It will never be finished.

When someone recognizes you in a grocery store
nod briefly and become a cabbage.
When someone you haven't seen in ten years
appears at the door,
don't start singing him all your new songs.
You will never catch up.

Walk around feeling like a leaf.
Know you could tumble any second.
Then decide what to do with your time.
