Deep thoughts in simple words :)

Just finished uploading photos onto my upcoming entry draft. Picture post, long one.
Lazy to narrate and hype up for that post right now, so here I am.

Have been mugging quite abit, not too efficiently though.
Only finished 2 chapters in 3 days. And have been eating ALOT. fml. :(
The reason to why i hadn't been productive lately is because I spent half of my public holiday out with my bestie!
It had been so long since both of us hung out. We were so bz we didn't even meet up for lunch in school on recent Wednesdays. But thanks to MITJU 70% sale, I managed to date the busy prospective Elle Magazine intern out for a dinner and shopping trip.

It felt really comforting to know that your long-time girlfriend is leading a happy life now and everything has settled down nicely. The friendship went through some rocky times in the past. Thinking about how we got close and open up to each other, i can only conclude, that true friendship is hard to come by. I'm blessed.

Anw, I had been thinking a lot lately, doing a lot of self-reflection and having spontaneous gushes of emotions overwhelming my soul from time to time. In fact, i do this quite often, especially when I'm alone without company. i.e. shower time, late night mugging session.

I thought through how I've changed gradually, inside out.
Not only has my temperament toned down, my exterior has toned down too.
i.e. make up, girlfriend told me i look rosier and not so fierce already.

I thought about my 47month-turning-4year relationship.
I still regard it as an asset, an achievement, a blessing and somewhere i can keep learning at our own pace and comfort.

I thought of the individuals who have personality issues which i used to suffer from but learn to let go eventually.
I learnt the meaning of cherish and the merciless forward-moving nature of time. I hope they learn it soon too.

I experience the luxury of knowing how to let go and managing deep thoughts.
Self control, discipline, distraction, I learnt how to smile. Smile more from deep down.
In fact, I enjoy being the now-me. :)

It has been quite evident what all these lessons have gained me. Only 4 months into the year and hey, I've grown. I'm not as self-centred as i was anymore. It was a genuine change cos it was totally not effort-demanding. Like a breeze, so relaxing. :) I gained trust, respect, friendship, hearts of friends, security, recognition and support.

I thought about my future too, but deviated from there cos I'm still living in denial that I'm supposed to graduate soon. Just wishing that I've enough time to finish the search on what I've missed out and what I hadn't internalized and learnt.

It's late. Before I end off, I need to pen down some goals here and be determined.
Stop spending money on wants. The overspending problem is getting out of hand.
My weight is 49 now, my aim is to lower it down to healthy-looking 46?
I'm giving myself 6 weeks. Regime starts tmr, 8/4/2012.

Let your world be filled with love, and gain as many smiles as you can the next moment after reading this post ya? It's worth the effort and emotional resource. :D

Nights people!

黑色幽默 (Ziwei's cover)

Done within 2 hours. Because this is a crazy time to do cover.
But I camped at JE lib w bee since 10am till late evening.
The brain needed a break.

Not perfect, but i think can pass. :3


I know that for the second half of the song, my voice is quite unstable even though I sang to the original key.  :/
I was told by bbfl, CK, that this time round it's more emotional than my first cover. Yay!

Don't worry, I'll be doing another cover by my favorite Chinese female singer next! I think I can sing girls' songs better. Lol.

Going back to my readings. Feel free to comment, i'll improve!

Short "getaway" to Geylang :p

Alright. Let's hope this is a short post cos I'm really sleepy. 
Whenever i blog, i'm always hoping it's a short post cos I'm well aware of my longwindednessssssssss.

As promised in my prev-prev post, this post is on my short trip made to Geylang with Leo and CK. 
Nothing scandalous as the title may sound. Haha. 
Was at a certain music company to interview for an event singer position before heading to Geylang for dinner, supper and exploration.

Singing job audition 
Auditioned 2 songs, Jar of Hearts and Grenade. 
Woman judged and told me my nasal voice is too much an issue, unlike Stefanie Sun who has melodious and soothing nasal vocals. And guess what. 
After wasting 1.5 hours of ours doing stage live singing and studio recording,
she tactfully told me I am FULL of potential but to unleash it, 
she recommended me to PAY $2.2k for a 9-month crash course to qualify myself and my abilities as an event singer. Go and die. Tyvm. I said NO straightaway, politely.
I'm aware of my nasal-sounding vocals, and I'd been really troubled over this issue during the pre-Emerge. 
Yet, I find this freaking cunning technique to enroll students into your music event company in hope of sucking their money too disappointing for me to even consider. Do it more ethically and less obvious please. 
It just shows people how desperate your music company is. 
Those interested to know the name of this music company, approach me to find out.
I won't hesitate to tell you about it. Waste my travelling effort and time and hope. Kns max. 
Another lesson learnt: The music industry is definitely not this cheap.


Geylang food
New waterproof Lomo cameras Leo and I bought from Outlet.sg

I love my hearts design and Leo is cute max! Spongebob! :3

Dinner time! Shared 3 huge dishes among ourselves at a random coffeeshop
after failed attempts to look out for renowned Geylang food places.
Nvm, will head back there again! :D

Singaporeans' all-time-favourite local delights! 



<3 Important favourite people

Shall post some camwhore pics b4 i head on for area-exploration. :D


Oh, got addicted to 豆浆油条 on this very fateful day.
Hugeass 油条 there. Yums. 


This tauhuey food stall is mega spacious and brightly lid. 
I forgot which lane it belongs to, but it's super huge and prominent.
So, you can probably spot it along Lor 20(smth) Geylang. :D
The youtiaos were served crispy and warm while the doujiang tasted really fresh. 

Area exploration

Dunno why but Geylang a whole lot of wang ba. Hehe.
I wonder if they deliberately picked this term to represent internet cafe in Chinese. 
For joke arh??
 

Finally, the red light district. 

Spotted at least 6-7 rows of terraces built for legal prostitution businesses.
Seriously, too many of such terraces. This industry is highly competitive too.
Didn't know Geylang has become so organized. 
We got a lil disappointed while roaming around the red light district 
cos my very knowledgeable bro told me that the ladies are not allowed to tout outdoors. 
Have to guaiguai stay indoors and wait for fishes to get hooked. Well.

We saw at least 5-6 Hotel 81s. 
I think underground business is still thriving. 
If i don't recall wrongly, the number of hotels has increased 
since the last time i went Geylang area for erhu lessons.


Apt name for a hotel located at Geylang. 
*Typing this while the wiggling song rings in the head. LOL*




Random: Fat puss sitting by the drain.
Its fur is too beautifully pastel for us to miss snapping a pic of it. 
It does look distressed here encountering camwhores. Lol.

We did see a considerable number of scantily dressed girls loitering/sitting or standing in suggestive postures at relatively secluded lanes deeper in from the main road. Some even gave CK gentle seductive stares. Professional? Maybe. Hmm. Why didn't the government ban prostitution ar? Hmm hmm hmm. Lazy to research now. Ok sleep!

Next post on "Express" dinner with my gals and my SUPER eventful 47th monthniversary.
1 more month to 48th, 4th anniversary! <3 It's a pity that it falls on the final exam period.

Nights love!

Male turns she-male during orgy!?

Hi all,

I just spent 1 day doing this blog post for my 10% CA for the Animal Behavior module.

Not gonna copy and paste my work here because there's definitely a need to warn my friends about its content, especially pictures.

IT'S ON SNAKES! So, if you cannot stand the sight of snakes, do not click.

Enjoy the read. It's quite interesting in my opinion. ;)
You can read the works of other LSM1303 students too.
