Family.

Looks like I have been keeping up with my schedule... :D Kinda. :D

3 posts in a week, it has been a really long time since I have been blogging this much. :D

I think Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays will be just random posts days, because I don't think I will be able to keep up with having lots of photo shoots on Wednesdays, just so I can post up the pretty pictures on Thursdays on my blog. D:

Mmm, today's topic is a little random.
It only came to mind after my friends, Maureen and Danni, said they wanted to know what my brother looks like.

See, there is this HUGE age gap between us, 9 years. It is not that huge to the point where there is a significant generation gap between us, but it is huge enough for the world to know that I am his younger sister whenever we hang out together.

For some reason, either my brother USED to like hooking up with little girls, or I look old, which is totally not the case because I use sunblock regularly, people keep mistaking me for his girlfriend. -_-

Sorry, my future sister-in-law. D: You need to appear next to him more often. D:

I was looking for my IC the day before my graduation ceremony, because it was needed.
(Yes, I know I need to keep my IC in a safe place because it cost $150 to make a new one. -_-)
And instead of finding my IC, I found old photos of my family hidden in some corner of my room.

D: I have no idea why I have them, because if it were up to me, the only photos displayed or hidden in my room would be photos of me... Pretty photos of me.

And so, I have decided to share them here... because it's my blog and I want to.

Note that some of the photos are really old. D: So the quality and colour is not as great as it used to be.


So this is my family, taken when I still had long black hair. D:
During Chinese New Year before I was 6... I think I was either 4 or 5 in that photo. D:

Yes, my dad looks like General Tojo, everyone has been saying that. -_-
As long as you do not take my father away as a war criminal, you may feel free to go on and on about him looking like that Japanese General from WW2.

I posted this photo before, but I think I took down the post when I went on a blog-cleaning spree.
I was 2, given the number of candles on my cake, and the round red things you see there, those are red eggs.
Yes, eggs were that big then. And they are insanely tiny now.


That's my mother and I, at my late-grandmother's house on the other side of Singapore. D:
I was probably 9... And I used to wear that shirt ALL.THE.TIME.
Yes, I was never fat my entire life, i only ballooned up after puberty.


Most recent Polaroid of my brother and I, taken on my graduation day AT NIGHT, when he came down to pick me up after I missed the last bus home.
Yes, I still have cheeks, and I know I am super-kawaii in that shot.
*flips hair*

My family likes to believe that we are a very close-knit family...

That's all I can say about it.

There are times when I do not feel connected to anyone at all, and there are times I actually found it ridiculous that the family still thinks and believes that we are very close. :/

But that is life, isn't it?

Everyone knows that friends come and go, but family sticks together forever. So even if you're not close to any of them, you can sort of always count on them to be there somehow. :/

Random Item of the Day! :D

Every Wednesday is
RANDOM ITEM OF THE DAY
... day. D:

And today's item is! :DD


FYI : If you have no idea who/what that is, then you are not my friend, AT ALL.

Graduation.

I skipped blogging yesterday because it was my graduation ceremony and I didn't want to be home early. :/

I didn't get to blog... So much for my blog-for-5-days-a-week plan. Bah.

But I am going to make up for it with two short posts today. :D

Graduation was... Ok? D: It was a warm day, and wearing the robe and white formal shirt made it harder for me to endure. D:

The entire process went by really quickly, and rest of the time was spent on taking photos with my course mates whom I won't be seeing for like, the rest of my life, or maybe those occasional few times where we would bump into each other in the middle of Orchard Road.

): That's right, I don't deal well with seperation. ):

I ended up using 2 packs of Instax films, because I am lazy to use my digital camera to take photos. Which is a good thing, since my Instax Camera has always been collecting dust in a little corner all this while.

I will be scanning the photos, and I might consider uploading them later in a seperate blog post. :D

I am slightly happy, and slightly depressed that I have officially graduated.

Happy, because I no longer have to deal with AutoCad drawings, spending money on model-making materials and printing, rushing for deadlines, and the lack of sleep. Yes, the world is now a brighter, happier place for me.

But it is depressing because I know for sure that after this, we will never see each other again. And planning for gatherings is a damn hard thing, with all the guys going to NS, and some people flying overseas to study. ;A; We are never going to see each other again. ;A;

Although... I am happy that I don't have to deal with the people I don't like anymore. :D

I will miss abusing all my friends into doing my bidding.
MUAHAHAHAHA.

Like abusing Henry, Yiliang, Allen and Val into telling me stuff, or just for the fun of it.
Bullying Shufei into helping me buy Bubble Tea, walking home from school with Dawn, singing and pretending to dance with Ashler, Ah Mun, Esther and Jiamin,telling long-hair Yuxuan that she sucks and she goes D: , talking all about Geun Suk Oppa with short-hair Yuxuan, poking random people because I felt like it, making Ah Mun go over to the laser cutting workshop to help me with my model...

It looks like I am a huge bully. D: But it was fun while it lasted... HAHAHAHA.

At the end of the day... I wonder if they will remember me. :/ Ten years down the road, will we still keep in contact with each other? ):

Poly has made me a happier person. Secondary school was just... bullshit for me. Maybe because I had a hard time fitting in, maybe because the people in secondary school didn't like my face, but I remember having a hard time in school, to the point where it was hard to even want to wake up and turn up for lessons.

Primary and Secondary school was a dark period for me. I remember laughing my head off while watching horror movies, just because I thought it was really fun to see people in pain. And all the stuff I had were black, white and red. Because other colours were too happy for my liking.

Now, I dress like rainbow vomit, not exactly. But I have changed a lot since, and I love all things colourful now. Hahaha, I can only take black and white in small doses.

Poly has been a wonderful time for me, minus the workload...

Ok, enough of chessy, sappy stories about what Poly has done for me mental wellbeing.

Right now, I have to go clean my bed room. D: And do a bit of laundry, because I am a neat freak like that. D:

WAZZUP WORLD! + Video of the week.

WAZZUP WORLD!

I know it has been a really long time since I had actually churned out a decent blog post.
Decent, meaning it has more than 2 lines, and is actually something meaningful to me, probably. :/

I am on my way to becoming a little more active online since I realise I can make money out of it, which I will explain now.
(This is going to be a long post... D:)

See, if you actually read my blog consistently, you would know that I had just graduated from Poly. (THREE YEARS OF HELL!!!!)
And while my classmates are busy looking for jobs, or looking to further their studies, OR are waiting for enlistment, I have actually been bumming around a lot at home.
I am still working part-time at that children clothes shop, since I have nothing better to do at home and I need the money to maintain my lifestyle of shopping online. So yes, I am still working at that children clothes shop.

The pay is... slightly better than average. Since there are people who only pay $4.50/hr, therefore I dare say that my boss is actually paying me rather well.

I have made some money through Nuffnang, and it has recently slowed down a lot. (because I got lazy to blog.) And I had actually made money through ChurpChurp, its Twitter counterpart. Therefore I figured it wouldn't be that bad to accumulate some extra cash online, since every bit of money counts right now. :/

And to keep myself on track, I have made a list of topics I will be blogging on a daily basis for 5 days a week, an idea I got from Doe Deere.

Every Monday, I will be posting up a video of the week, and I shall wing it for the other 4 days. :/ Kinda.

Expect to see more pictures, hopefully, if I can get myself to use my camera to snap something interesting.

****************************************
Stuff that has happened to me recently, I shall just update you quickly in point form, starting with the boring stuff...
Because I am badass like that.

  • I have overspent again this month, therefore no online shopping for the month of June. ):
  • I have an asymmetrical hair cut now! :D Which reminds me that I need a haircut, desperately. D:
  • I am in the midst of changing my blogskin again.
  • I have started watching Desperate Housewives Season 7. :D
  • I ate sushi buffet, for two days in a row. ;A;
  • I have decided that I should lose weight before my brother gets married, but so far, I haven't done anything about it. I am still eating whatever I want, and I am not exercising as much as I wanted. Which means I did exercise ok!
  • I am still going to chase after that impossible dream of mine, even though I know only one person is supporting me.
  • Somebody nominated my blog for the OMY SGBlogAwards. Which is nice, if it is not a prank. But it makes me wonder why did that person nominate me for the WTH category, since I haven't posted anything WTH-ish in a very long time. I did join in the end, hopefully I will win something nice. I want to win the tickets to Melbourne, Australia. D:

Not sure is it because I smile too much...

Or is it because I wear colourful things.

But people tend to just not take me seriously and even think it's OK to just only talk to me or ask me out when they need to.

I am not some charity organisation, I do not need your charity.

People expect me to be there for them, be there when they need people.
But when it's time to "repay the favour", they just disappear.

So what the fuck am I to them?!
WHAT.THE.FUCK.AM.I.TO.THEM?!

My social circle is small, as I have mentioned a thousand and one times on this blog of mine. But I feel that because it's small, each friend is hand-picked (kinda), so it would at least mean something to both of us.

Because while I am friendly to most people, that does not necessarily mean that they are automatically a part of my social circle. And especially since I filter people out of it every once in a while...

I just feel like I am not being treated around with enough respect as a human. BAH, fucking humans.

It's PMS period, I need an outlet to vent out my frustrations.

It's been a long time coming...

So I have graduated... As I have mentioned in my previous posts...

I have been bumming around at home, planning out things that will not be coming to fruition any time soon. I realise that I really need to start becoming more active online again because D: I have no intentions of getting a real job out there that pays me more than $1k a month. Bah.

So in the meantime, I shall blog in point form. About the things... :/

I have been craving for...
  • Fried Chicken
  • Sushi
  • Spaghetti Bolognaise
  • Kimchi Fried Rice
I have been really annoyed at...
  • My Mother (which really is no surprise.)
  • The Weather (OMG WILL IT KILL SOMEONE TO MAKE IT NOT SO WARM?!)
  • The fact that I wake up at 1:07pm every afternoon, bumming around like nobody's business.
I have been wanting...
  • TO GO OVERSEAS AGAIN. (I WANT TO GO SOMEWHERE NOT WARM AT ALL!)
I have been doing stuff like...
  • Painting my nails at 4pm everyday, then proceed on to ruining my manicure and then having to remove it. Yes, I do it everyday at 4pm. ;A;
  • Deciding that I need to blog, but I have too many shows to watch.
  • Making plans to edit my videos, but again, I have too many shows to watch.
At least I was productive yesterday. I did my laundry AND wash my bedsheets. D:

Now to start blogging more regularly... D:
