"the anger would not hold; like a puppy she is too easily surfeited"
i should have known better.
i broke your heart.
i understand.
the exams are in about 48 hours and contrary to popular belief,
i am more physically illprepared than ever.
yes note physically and not so much mentally..
with my notorious bodyclock that leaves me in the trenches of lethargy
if i fail to conquer a solid 8 hours of sleep
till the daylight of 3pm at the very least.
plus plus plus,
my mysterious chest is still playing cruel pranks on me,
and on some days i am generously graced with gastric pains.
so seriously i have no clue why my body
is throwing a full-fledged, rebellious fit.
off i go now,
2nd round of japanese studies.
best wishes, dear friends. |

the overlapping of my climate change revision and watching of 2012 last night
has genuinely struck a nail-biting nerve in me.
no seriously, amidst the sudden hype of going green
ranging from celebrity endorsements to mtv advertisements
to paying 10 cents for a plastic bag at co-op,
i am genuinely worried about the state of our planet.
it is difficult but i am taking baby steps that might make
the slighest difference in delaying the fact that
the artic will be ice-free in 20 years,
a 7m (not 7mm) rise in sea levels when greenland's icesheets melts,
half of the world's forests being destroyed and
one quarter of its life forms vanishing in approximately 50 years.
if you don't already know,
this spells CLIMATE-CHANGE-OF-DOOM.
australia had its worst drought in 1000 years in 2006
2007 has been the 8th warmest year on record
20 000 people in Europe and 1500 in India has died because of heatwaves
100 000 million people live within 3ft of sea level.. so what happens
then when the sea decides to fulfill its monstrous appetite?
what happens to the 3 billion people in poverty when extreme weather
and natural disasters hit?
not to mention of course my hydrophobia-self
and fragile heart is in a state of condundrum and complete anarchy
thinking about the vulnerable state of our sea-surrounded island.
so, my repertoire of baby steps (that you can take too) includes
1) saving water by switching the tap off when brushing your teeth,
putting on soap and shampoo
2) switching off the computer when it isn't used (yes ultimate repentance here
and direct shoutout to amri)
3) refusing plastic bags when paying for your purchases
4) throwing away drinkcans in appropriate recycling bins whenever possible.
since we are on this matter,
everyone should watch 2012, of course bring a jacket along
to hide your face when it comes to terrifying water scenes,
and realise that unlike the theatrical wonders of hollywood,
we will not have magical china-made arks to save our butts
when the earth decides it has had enough of humanity's abuse.
alrighty then,
back to global water shortages and conflicts. |

so if you guys don't already know,
i went to the hairdressers a week or so ago and i was feeling dreamy
like when zoe-sees-smoke and they said "let's cut off your curls, yes?"
and i nodded in my semi-conscious state of mind
and now i have ridiculously confused hair
that can't decide if it wants to be wavy or straight
so.
i have been doing extensive research yes
as well as all sorts of experiments with blowdryers, straighteners, brushes
and the result? epic failure in my freckled face
as well as a daily ponytail in school thank you very much.
but fret not my dear ones,
(yes i'm aware the exams are in two weeks and yet
syafiq benny maria and my life have been consumed with my hair concerns)
okay so anyway let's not digress
vithya my trusty partner in hair crime and i
who have been engaging in regular lack of hair esteem,
are about to embark on this exciting and promising hairventure
that i found lying in the dusty premises of youtube.
I KNOW RIGHT?!!?
so i suppose i should end this post with a photo of
my attempt to reproduce the above,
but like how i sometimes decide not to complete my sentences
i am unable to fulfill your anticipation for the final product, just yet.
give me a week or two
while i arm myself with lethal volumizing mousse and dangerous hair rollers
and i shall update the world if this turns out yay or nay.
so long and goodbye now. |

i don't make plans.
for the week, sure, i'd grab the nearest post-it,
scribble deadlines and try to hit them
plans for life? no.
i don't make plans.
i'm not the straight-a's student that has drafted out her life
to be a gynaecologist that sticks her fingers through vaginas for a living,
have 2 kids by 30 and enough CPF by 45 to retire comfortably
in a 4-storey house made of glass at mountbatten road.
no.
i don't make plans.
dreams, on the hand, i have dreams
every ticking second of the day
i just dream for happiness.
as simple as it gets,
i want happiness
for myself, and the ones closest to me.
but plans, no i don't make plans. |
