Boy: "OMG I survived OBS!!!"
Girl: "If those across the road can do it too, then there's nothing impressive about you surviving OBS."

*sigh* I must have sounded so epic XP
Went to see the Pompeii: Life in a Roman Town 79CE Exhibition at the National Museum today. It was really insightful, to see how something which was alive 2000 years ago is still here, right in front of you.

The highlight of the exhibition was the resin casts of people and animals excavated from the ruins of Pompeii. If you havent seen it, let me tell you what it looks like. Imagine yourself crouched on the floor, then someone poors cement over you. The cement hardens and you are still there 2000 years later, the only difference is that the gray cement has now turned in a dull yellowish and disgusting colour. Those resin casts were simply made of the remains of the victims' bones, flesh, and clothes, all coated in volcanic ash. Thinking about it now makes me wanna cry.

"...they are human beings seen in their agony. This is not art, it is not imitation, these are their bones, the remains of their flesh and their clothes mixed with plaster, it is the sadness of death that characterises body and form. I see their wretchedness. I hear their cries as they call to their mothers, and i see them fall and writhe..."
-Lugi Settembrini (1813-76)

See what I mean? Its disturbing.

I am stupid 46% off the time.
Or should I say, I am smart 54% of the time.
That sounds better :)
(To hell with the tagging)
lalala~~~
DAMN.
I realised what a bad state my eyes are in.
The dark circles around it are so obvious, all thanks to all those late-night studying for eoys and late-night korean drama marathons after eoys.
Eeeks.
I look like I'm wearing smudged mascara.
D:
UGLY.
Life is pissing me off.
DramaFest is pissing me off.
The fact that my yinse now sucks due to eoys and the lack of time to practice pisses me off even more. Did anyone not hear how disgusting my yinse was when i played the xylo just now? Even though it was just a few seconds, I am utterly disgusted by myself.
Okay i shall prac like mad. I swear. Unless i feel like getting kicked out of NYCO or something -.-
And shit i haven't thought of the agenda for next tuesday. How the hell am I gonna address the CO? And i keep having the bad feeling that I will fall off the podium :(
Rachel Tan!!! Where are you when I need you D:
I have so many friends, but there isn't a single one that I can talk to.
Hey peeps ~
I am still alive and kicking after eoys ;) I'm so proud of myself *hint of sarcasm*
Today's post-eoy pig out session was nothing but awesome :D
I think the SeoulGarden has put ws, cherylO and me on the black name list HAHAHA.
Seriously I think we used up every bit of the $11.99++ we paid for the student meal.
LOL. We sat there from 11.30am (when the lunch buffet started) till 2.30pm and ate, ate, ate and ate somemore.
Well, of course that includes short intervals in between when we took turns walking around bugis junction looking for a toilet so that we could allow ourselves to digest abit before we continued eating. Kiasu-ness rules.
Haha! And all the people who came after us left before us and everytime when one of us said "okay we should seriously stop eating and move on to desserts" then another person would walk past the buffet counter and grab more food.
So we finally left after 3 hours of eating. A long time after one of the waiters turned off the fire, thinking it would deter us from pursuing our pig mission. We simply just asked someone else to help us turn it on again :)
I don't think i'll be going back there again anytime soon but it was quite nice though.
Next was shopping! Woots ^^ I ended up buying only a bag from cotton on. But its damn prettae kay!
Okay now there are so many things I want/need to do!
1. Watch Mischievous Kiss
2. Watch Cruel Temptation (ya i know its outdated but i didn'y get to watch it last time!)
3. Dramafest Lighting Design T.T (this is under the 'need' category)
4. Island creamery with Carina to discuss how we are gonna address the CO, its my first time talking to the whole CO, so it would be disastrous if i fall off the podium or something.
5. Shed off all the fats i got today from eating so much tomyam chicken/ curry chicken/ spicy bulgogi chicken/ garlic chicken etc.
6. Eat lots of nice food, but this sounds contradicting to point number 5 right? o.o
7. Practice CO stuff like mad
8. Think of ways to skip tuition (lol kiddin! I'm a guaikia :)
9. Go shopping, like D.U.H.
10. Section outing! oops this should be a the top of the list!!! I totally miss the peas! D:
Perfect 10.
Oh my, this post is sooo long.
What did the bread say to the toaster?

"Just gonna stand there and watch me burn..."
<3
I keep telling myself that I'm gonna make it work.
But the fact that things always work out for me in the end doesn't mean that it will be the same this time.
I should seriously stop procrastinating.
Though the timetable is a killer, I should still follow it, from now on.
Its gonna take a lot of discipline and willpower.
Wish me luck people.
No more facebook. No more blogging.
10 days to freedom.
:)
If you don't want to study hard, then you shouldn't even be here in the first place.
Damn.
I spent the whole afternoon doing jazz pirouettes.
And not studying -.-
Yesterday when I was watching this Tribute to Mrs Lee Kuan Yew on tv, they showed this video recording of MM Lee at a press conference/interview in his home. Mrs Lee, who was sitting beside (out of the camera) suddenly interrupted the interview. And guess what she did? The frail lady stood up (she even had problems standing up and had to be held onto by someone else), then she took a piece of tissue paper, went right in front of the camera, and started helping MM Lee wipe the sweat of his forehead. MM Lee smiled and said "What's that? oh its paper!" then he sighed and laughed "she is my director!"
I guess thats what they call true love <3
Yesss man.
I feel accomplished! :) I spent the whole of today studying physics and going for physics private tuition. And it was a great help ^^ yay i love my physics teacher! She's absolutely not like TBH okay.
Yesterday tmy told me that she may have to live in australia for 2 years starting from march next year. And i totally scared her out of her wits by keeping quiet for the next 5 minutes or so after she told me. Okay i may have said that it was cus i didn't know how to answer the damn question but the truth is i was emoing. Thank you. It was just human nature.
Now, TEH MUN YEE YOU BETTER DON'T FREAK ME OUT LIKE THAT AGAIN OR I'LL SKIN YOU ALIVE. GEDDIT??!
