Friday night is laundry night. And as with last week I sat on a stool in the kitchen toilet scrubbing away at stuffz with my expensive manicured nails getting terribly in the way. :X They're a little chipped now but I don't really care since I'm removing the polish soon hahaha. Bye nice nails~
My mum very smartly soaked a dark pink pouch with a couple of white cloth bags in bleach. And now my giraffe bag is stained pink urgh. No amount of scrubbing with soap could remove the pinkness. Instead it made it worse by making the colour of my giraffe run. It must be a very sad giraffe now. :(
Today I opened a coconut for the first time in my life. I had all the knives in my house lined up before me and I tried all of them repeatedly. Took me nearly half an hour to finally chop it open. By then I was so tired that I could barely scrape the coconut flesh using a spoon zzz. Plus I cut myself and started bleeding scarily. And later on while washing stuff my hand started bleeding again. Scary much. :X Even more scary was how when chopping the coconut I was thinking about the Physics formula of Pressure = Force over Area. :P
Sigh I think I'm currently in some kind of depression or smthing. Been moping around these few days with no appetite and eating one meal a day. :/ I lost nearly 2kg over the past few days... And I don't feel like going out or seeing anyone zzz. Super touchy too and forever feeling like I'm offending other people. What happened to happy me?
想踮起脚尖找寻爱 远远的存在 我来不及 说声嗨 影子就从人海晕开
才踮起脚尖的期待 只怕被亏待 我够不着还 微笑忍耐 等你回过头来
If there's anything I've learnt, I'd say it's the importance of learning to stand on your own feet. No one can stand by you all the time, and you can't be over-reliant on your friends to pick you up every time you fall. In the darkest of night, you have to be your own light.

恋爱恐慌症//

Went to watch 那些年 yesterday. Hmm strangely enough I didn't cry as much as I thought I would. Only a bit hahaha. Maybe I can't really identify with the characters ba seeing that I never really tried very hard to like someone. O:
Or maybe I'm just heartless. :/
Maybe I should watch this show.
男女之间...有没有纯友谊?
能不能答应我，永远不要爱上我？
因为拥有，就是失去的开始。
A Wicked Night Indeed//

Wicked today was awesomeeee. I love too many songs from the musical to list them out here so I shall just post one that I think I haven't posted before.
I admit, I cried at this part. Not only cos it was a sad and touching scene, but also because the song reminded me of my friends. :)
So here's a dedication to all my friends, who've stood by me all these years~
Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes a sun Like a stream that meets a boulder halfway through the wood. Who can say if i've been changed for the better but, because i knew you I have been changed for good.
(Photos will be up soon! xD)
Would you rather be my brother or my lamp? O.o//

Music is Love//

Yay I just re-stringed my pipa and played it for the first time since...concert? Playing an instrument is like...riding a bicycle or ice-skating. If you haven't done it in a while your standard kinda goes down. So at first I was super appalled by how I couldn't really get the hang of playing and had horrible yinse. Luckily after half an hour it got better. :)
But the calluses on my left hand are gone so it hurt a lot pressing the strings. Plus I've been keeping my nails long for prom which got into the way slightly. But haha I really miss my pipa! It's been too lonely for the past 6 months so I really ought to spend more time with it. :)
Isn't it strange that sometimes you think that you love something a lot, then one day suddenly realise that you really don't and the only reason why you've stuck to it is cos you're used to it? And on the other hand, you may think that you no longer miss something anymore, but one day you think of it and you're shocked at how much it still aches your heart. :/
I wonder when I shall get to play in a CO again? I thought I wouldn't miss it (I used to think I was sick of playing pipa and only went for the company of friends) but it seems like 6 years of habit is hard to kick. :P The only thing that could possibly be more fun than hanging out with friends is perhaps making music together with friends! :D
The Joys of Reading//
First day of post-As :))) Stayed up late reading a mystery novel (Ruth Rendel's To Goon with Death) and slept till a very embarassing time hahaha. Then had to force myself to leave my bed because I had a dental appointment...
I rmb I used to have a horrible fear of dentists in primary school, and whenever students appeared at the classroom with a list of people who are supposed to go see the school dentist, I'd get a terrible dreadful feeling in my tummy. Good thing that fear kinda dissipated when I grew up, and somehow now I can't rmb why I was so afraid of them in the past.
My teeth is healthy heh heh. Hope they last me a good few decades cos I don't relish the thought of fake teeth too early on in my life. :P But it's a bit annoying sometimes when people assume that just cos you look Chinese means you can't really speak english. Even the Malay dentist was trying to communicate with me by explaining that he is going to xiya for me, requested that I kai my mouth, and asked me if I keyi. Too bad that I could only answer with nods or grunts cos my mouth was wide open with a whole lot of weird apparatus stuck inside.
Yesterday was a good day hoho. Had my last A levels paper and had fun suanning everyone else who have Chem today. xD Then I displayed commendable resourcefulness by securing pipa strings from RICO and hopefully not scaring any little RI boys in the process. :X Special thanks to Mr Simon Tang for his immense helpfulness, though I was amused by his hairstyle involving a fringe gel-ed at interesting angles (which reminded me of AstroBoy). :P
While waiting for my mum at Orchard I spent a good hour or so at the Prologue bookstore reading. :) At first I went to Wheelock then when I reached I remembered that Borders is gone, and was extremely devastated. D: Oh how I miss those times back in RG when we used to chill there so often!
Then I spent quite a while trying to find a bookstore in Ion cos it was kinda big haha. I really think every shopping centre needs to have a bookstore, and not the kind like Popular at Lot One either (which stocks mostly assessment books and cookery stuff -.-). When you step into a sophisticated bookshop, the entire atmosphere is different. Bookstores and libraries each have their respective kind of smell that amazingly gives you an adrenaline rush. :P They are like quiet sanctuaries amidst the rush of day; I could spend hours and hours just sitting there taking books from the shelf and reading. :) Maybe that's why they are always located near the top floors of shopping centres. People who want to visit bookstores will look for them, and not the other way round. Plus in Singapore good bookstores are spaced out so sparsely that there's pathetically little competition. :(
I realised when I'm alone I like to hang out at bookstores/libraries. Although I love shopping with other people (even just window shopping), I absolutely hate doing it on my own. Somehow I feel super self-conscious when I walk into clothing/shoe/assessories stores on my own. It's different when I'm amongst books. No one rushes up to ask you whether or not you need assistance. No one stands around spying on you as you browse through their goods. You are really not pressured to buy anything, at all. You are free to peruse their collections freely. You can venture in to take a break from life, then leave when you're ready to face the world again.
I'm beginning to take up reading again. (Just like how I began to take up cross-stitch again too.) That's one of the things that I've sorely missed overly the past few years when life has been chock full of school stuff. I've missed the feeling of being transported to another world. I've missed being able to look through someone else's eyes. And I've missed laughing and crying together with the book as the plot flows. (Yes, I do laugh and cry when I read.)
And I realise I love books with historical context. The dazzling portrayal of amazing cultures that I've never experienced is addicting in itself. Plus other than enjoying the plot you always manage to learn stuff. I love mystery novels too. Because of the intrigue and logical deduction that keeps me on my toes and makes me think. One of my favourites of all time - Agatha Christie. :) Which reminds me, I borrowed a couple of her books from snao quite a while ago, I should really get down to reading them and return him ASAP.
