om shanti shanti

music:be my escape-relient k
mood:happy

so i disappeared to malaysia for chinese new year but i'm back now. yay. anyway--short update or whatever.

+chinese new year goodies
+red packets
-the ang pao money goes directly to my university fund. i didn't even get to smell the new, crisp notes ):
-feeling like a stranger and awkward for a second with extended family
+but then everything becomes comfortable and we laugh and talk easy
-everyone asking about A's results. fuckkkkkk.

cause i've been housing all this doubt and insecurity

+me and my cousin finally talked after 3498461285 years
+i had my aunt's new puppy oscar for a day ((((((: he's my baby!
AWWWW.

-oscar belongs to my aunt who lives across the causeway ))))):
+spent most of my time watching season 3 of the office. sooo good
+HAHAH and we watched music&lyrics and i particularly liked the cora chick singing that buddha song "om shanti shanti" like wtf. but i think that entire scene was a social commentary on how hollywood has celebritised (new word,my word) religion. look at madonna and kabbalah. OR maybe it's purely a chick flick and not that high-brow.
+i've been reading ferociously for the past weeks and i've got an exciting new book--the picture of dorian gray
-i don't know what it is, but something's got my entire family extremely irritable with each other

+i've finally got my pay!

-it's only a part of it. tsk.

-and i start work AGAIN on thurs. bleh

+the miss lynette a lot (MiLAL) club's been set up with shijie as president! new members welcome. hahha.


so overall, i'd say chinese new year this year was pretty good, seeing as how there are more pluses than minuses. OM SHANTI SHANTI.

blah.

music:brighter than sunshine-aqualung
mood:sleepy

EEE. i love this song. it's impossibly sweet.

let the rain fall i don't care
i'm yours and suddenly you're mine
love was brighter than sunshine

oh, i changed the layout! i think the new one's pretti-ful (: call me fickle or whatever, but the previous layout had to go. the pink flowery details were getting old. pooey. short update--

tjc reverie3 and we were guest performers. i thought we were pretty blah, but apparently we were pretty neat. so yay for us i guess. i thought tj's video was really cool especially when set to 'listen' by beyonce. i didn't study much unfortunately, but i've a new nickname for jun and i! LB1 and 2. haha.

slept over at cin's after it ended. scrubbed hard at my face and scalp to remove all the glitter and gel. yuck. slept without a pillow, but with a full stomach. heh. woke up early for a mac's breakfast. yum.

didn't have tuition today! hoho. buttttt i really need to get a move on with the homework and studying :/ ehh. maybe tomorrow. VETTING TOMORROW! holy geez.

anywhoo, this is a bit belated, but : sometimes i'm amazed at how similar we mother and daughter are. not just in temperament but also the relationships we have. maybe i should have told her this on mother's day.

earthquake on her mind

music:pretty handsome awkward-the used
mood:distracted

you look pretty low,
very handsome awkwarddddddddddddd

ive got a billion and one things running through my head at a mile per second. and we know lynette isn't really capable of such complexity. anywhoo. ticking things off:
-syfers! (: im glad the tears weren't for nothing!
-family dinners are never complete without bad karaoke family singers and public humiliation on the 'dancefloor' : OOH and my baby nephew is the cutest thing ever. i'm still amazed that that itsy one year old can say apple,blue,ball!
-rapture is too soon! we've in total approx 10hours worth of practice for each item before they go on stage. not good. im worried :(
-on the otherhand, me and xin finished the blocking complete with necessary sequentials today! looking good (:
-manda true friend! rest loads okay, take care. and things WILL work themselves out. they always do.
-BT2 in about 4 weeks! and not a single schedule or note in sight :/
-i absolutely cannot wait for the weekend, then holidays.

im so sleepy. but my brain is still buzzing.

pooey

music:my lack of skill-the early november
mood:exhausted

haven't updated in a while.
sat:dance and then malaysia, without a car! thank goodness my cousin was with me otherwise i could very easily have been a)lost
b)raped
no kidding. aunt's birthday went alright, usual karaoke and crazy dancing and good food. too much good food. too much karaoke and bad singers in the family.

wed:dance wasn't so good. the seniors came down and we possibly gave them a heartattack. (what a coincidence-as i type this, the SYF music plays on itunes) SYF is too soon :/ not good. my nails have been reduced to yucky stubs because of this and homework that conveniently piles up. bleh.

thurs:KEEWEI (baowu!) SAVED MY LIFE.

fri:project work results &then dance. it was kinda cool, maurine and i played around with the cc lights! no wonder stage lightning is a specialised course offered, no easy shit yo'.

and then i'm shit tired.

side note-i love/hate the SYF song. i hate how it screams "emote! emote!" and i just can't, but i love how it's so rich :/

HAPPY XMASTIME.

music:divine intervention-taking back sunday

mood: nauseous :(

all of those flavours and this is what you choose

past the blues, past the blues

and on to something new

something real

make it timeless

an act of god and nothing less will be accepted

so if you're calling me out

then count me out.

wow. they're pretty good, as much as i would like to deny it. being called a calculating albeit a warm-hearted bitch isn't so easy on the ears. oh wells. at least i'm super at cuddling.

"you don't choose your family" how true. extended families are like a long, drawn-out punishment.

anyway. xmastime. can you say PRESENTS?! fuck yeah.

ps: i changed my layout! the theme:robots. like, duh.

breathe in, breathe out

music:long haul-voxtrot
mood:constipated (state of being,rather than mood)

i wanna catch your love and make it stay
oh it's a long, long haul

open house 2006




cindayyyy and me! haha. i love you like woah.






shijie and me: we put the capital A in 'attitude' yo.
and then some, which i will steal and upload sometime later.






relatives
there's a good reason why they are called 'relatives', related to you yet not exactly family. good gawd. you'd think we were having a 'state-the obvious' competition. some people just take it that a couple of shared genes gives you the right to critique bluntly. oh and tipsy people do not make good singers, especially if they weren't singers to begin with. but what happens within the family, stays within the family. at least it was slightly entertaining.

movie stash
+snakes on the plane
+super size me
+take the lead
+south park
mostly old i know, but still.
haha south park: these overzealous (unnecessary, really) missionaries attempted to spread the gospel of god (again, unnecessary word) to these aliens on Marklar, only to be rejected. as she gave one last attempt to convert them--
missionary: you are gonna burn in hell!
marklar(yes,the people of Marklar are called Marklars, so are the stones,the water and mountains): okay, thank you.
HAHAHAHAHA.
"too good!"

i had already known beforehand that this refrain would be playing in my head
why do you build me up buttercup baby, just to bring me down?
