I think the next time i get back to Georgia i will feel homesick. it's only after i come back and re-experience my normal life again that i realise how much i treasure it. not quite the food now, but rather the people.

it definitely felt good to meet up with chrystal and chillax in her wonderful room once again, just like how we used to before i left. i realised how much i miss her, how much i miss hearing her wise words of wisdom, her randomness, just being with her. OH CHRYSTAL. DUN BE JEALOUS BOBO. hahaha.

then there was going for cg. though most of the girls pang seyed me, leaving just ziyan and i as the only girls, it still felt amazing to be back. to be back with the guys and just listen to their utter rubbish nonsense, to laugh at their ridiculousness and thick-headed silliness, to hear all things familiar and just soak myself in my comfort zone. to laugh out loud, to respond and speak without worrying about what others think. so much more.

though i was surrounded by relatively wonderful people in the states, there were many times where i had to struggle with being laughed at for the culture differences, the inability to accurately express myself cos of the lack of knowledge of singlish, to be stared at with the "you are crazy/what the hell" glare for jokes that would probably be funnier in the singaporean context or simply just my normal behaviour. no doubt the church and cell group was full of people who were passionate and definitely inspirational, i might as well have been watching a dvd of it all.

sometimes i sit at my desk looking at the facebook pictures of people back home and i think about what would life be like if i took on the place offered at NTU's ADM. it looks so tempting, so fun. many thoughts run through my mind, in my heart i long to be back to all things familiar, all things dear. and yet at the same time, i know how SCAD provides the right learning environment for me.

in the past i would tell the world that the states is where i want to spend the rest of my life if i could. now? i say i like their family culture, but I don't think I want to stay there anymore. I want to be in Singapore, and adopt the kind of close knitted family culture in the states. not the kind u see on nanny 911 and shows like that.

enough of the emo-ness. i was glad to see my boss once again. one of the whole bunch of people i missed dearly over in Savannah. i heard she hasn't been going to church and i was fortunate enough to see her today. it was quite funny how she was right behind me and when i turned and saw her i screamed and she screamed and we just both gave each other a big hug :) <3

my sunday school kids were missing and i only managed to spot 2 of which both were just shocked at my appearance they didn't quite know what to do. haha. jocelyn's reaction was really adorable. her eyes grew so huge and she stared at me in shock scratching her head. poor child. haha.

cheryl, chrystal and i headed down to j8 and thai express where we had our lunch with bobo. this is the highlight of the day. hahahaha. anyhows, i had the soft shell crab black pepper claypot rice noodle instead of the usual pad thai cos i figured it's time to explore other thai foods. anyways...we were having our dessert when this lady came and placed a bill on our table and told us merry christmas. all of us were stunned and seriously. the first thought that came to my mind was WHY IS SHE GIVING US HER BILL?!?! crazy woman. tell us merry christmas and make us pay for her meal. what the hell. and then when she realised the state of confusion and shock the 4 of us were in, she asked us if we were from church and we were like yeahhh....and then she said blessed christmas before she left and it took me rather long to realise she paid for our meal : that was a whopping 60 bucks meal among the 4 of us and we didn't have to pay a single cent. to think i was worried about spending so much considering how many other grps of friends i will meet over the next few weeks : YEEKS. so thank God for His provision and wonderful surprises He drops on us :D

go to cheryl's blog for more details and pictures. hahaha. oh God is wonderful. THANK YOU DADDY!

and then and then...i chilled away the rest of the day at chrystal's hse once again

oh happiness is when you are back where you belong

i finally stopped nuah-ing today. (ok. not really finally cos i went out on tuesday..which was 2 days ago. but time has really passed so slowly especially since i awake at 5.30 am ish every day cos of jet lag. can't help it. i am so tired by the time it is 5pm that i have to sleep at 10pm). ahem. anyhows. i finally got out of the house again and it felt REALLY REALLY good. like there is so much fresh air outside and it felt good to just take a deep breath and fill my lungs :) and i have thus concluded that despite the fact that no one else believes me (like how the pink ice lolly biscuits taste different from the rest) that singapore air smells different from overseas air. especially that in ang moh land/land of the whites. perhaps it's the humidity. idk.

anyhows. met up with huang in the morning to go recce cheryl's hse function room and discuss about the christmas outreach and we just sat and talked about art, school, what God has taught us and thoughts about the end times. somehow the two of us always end up talking about it. MUST BE HIS ARTWORK LA. always so symbolic and chronicles of narnia-ish. nonetheless, it was a good session of just sharing with him some thoughts. somehow i always end up in such situations where i share what God has taught me over the years, my experiences and all that with people around me. which is kinda cool :)

then huang abandoned me to meet his dad for lunch. haha. and so i wandered around j8 for a while cos i was scared of the lunch time crowd at the food court. and i tell you. there was this whole bunch of girls STALKING me. i was standing outside the cinema looking at what kind of shows to watch when i heard this giggling bunch behind me. thinking they were up to no good i hurry up left. when i got to popular they were still behind me giggling and whispering to one another. how annoying. oh my gosh. i felt like slapping them. then they finally approached me and asked me all sorts of funny questions like whether i could recommend any book to read, where i stayed, how old i was and stuff, all these questions interrupted with giggles and shoving between the 2 girls. i was like...bish *SLAP FOREHEAD*. the moment they took out a sketchbook i knew it was going to be some christian evangelism thing and i just told them i was christian so as not to waste their time and encouraged them abit and they ran away with this huge look of relief. as i continued to browse at the bookstore i felt another pair of girls staring at me and then whispering again and FOLLOWING ME AROUND POPULAR AND ASKING THE SAME QUESTIONS. omg...within the same location and within a span of less than 5 minutes. HELLO....firstly...if u want to evangelise. dun frighten people by stalking them and dun irritate them with your giggles and all. gosh. so disappointing. people. GET TRAINING FIRST. nonetheless. i should not be so mean to them since i myself never found the guts to do such things. i will probably humiliate the christian faith. hence. i shall applaud them for even taking the first leap of faith in doing street evangelism.

so after having enough of being stalked i headed over to the bishan library where i grabbed a handful of design magazines to read, a habit i picked up after Professor Ramsey told me to expose myself to designers and works so that i could improve on my compositional skills. those magazines are truly eye candy. haha. maybe i should ask for book vouchers and magazine subscriptions for christmas. i dun want to get clothes and other stuff that i prob won't use. at least i can get books and magazines that could help me develop my skills :) especially good are those with featured sites/designs and tutorials :) WHOO..

haha. anyhows. then i met up with derric, huang and mugen to further discuss christmas outreach. so there went my whole day. that was a long amount of time spent in the library for not studying. lol. finally not studying at the library and staying so long. haha. bishan library is like a giant fridge though. but i guess they have to do that to prevent people from studying too long there. it is seriously unbearable. u have to be a polar bear to sit there without a jacket.

meh heh. sleepy.

on the brighter side....my friends are done with their exams. YAY :) i shall no longer fear being alone :D

i woke up too early today : it's only 10 and i keep wanting lunch. i'm too used to waking up at 11 and then eating lunch within the next hour. oh boo. stupid jet lag. damn the time difference.



i need to get out of the house. bahhh. i miss having friends barging in and being literally next door. before i came back i had so many plans but now i'm just too lazy to do it. HAHAHA. i am such an ass.



dumdeedum.

NEW LAYOUT. done in my utter boredness here in singapore while most of my mates are too busy with school and exam to chillax with me. sob. i'm too used to dorm life - having my friends all around me every single day and it's so easy to just find one another to talk and hug and go crazy :( oh michelle. i miss having you BARGING into my room every 5 minutes :(

sooo..this layout features both art and scenes of savannah (the bridge to south carolina or smth that we see from our dorms, river street and the famous fountain at forsyth park). photos and photoshop brushes from deviantart and image was done in photoshop.

anyhow. pacey and i wanted to go to amy's hse coffeeshop to have our favouritely delicious roast duck, char siew and shao rou but lo and behold. when we got there it was closed :( so in the end we headed to the jap food at LHK3 where we spent most of our lunch breaks during our internship at church. it's so funny how despite it being 5 months the people there hasn't forgotten us. the moment we approached the coffeeshop, the drink uncle spotted us and immediately shouted MILO PENG TEH PENG (our usual drink orders) despite us being a few metres away from even entering the coffeeshop. haha. and then when i went to order my jap food the lady was like tentama don??? hahaha. YUMM.

then bobo and i headed down to junction 8 where we got bobo's hammie's cage. it's such a pretty and cute cage, what with the colorful parts and all :) it was such a made-for-bobo cage. haha. cheryl's hammies are uber cute. all them lil babies. so small, so delicate. reminds me of how i used to have a whole entire brood of ham hams. sigh. now i want to have hammies all over again. for one they are alot easier to have as pets especially for lazy people like me since they are way easier to take care of and yet they are still so loving and adorable.

oh the post of ham hams and bam bams (pacey's new hammie's name..what kind of name is that man..haha)

HAHAHA. i just saw a funny ad on facebook. it states singapore girls forum but the picture showed wu zun's face. lol.

anyhows. GUESS WHAT PEOPLE!!!!!!

I'M BACCCCCCKKKK :D :D

hahaa. so the last few days of scad had been quite an adventure what with all the fire alarms going off at wee hours in the morning. not quite wee hours, but nonetheless, very unpleasant experience with uber high pitched alarms that is equivalent to the annoying high pitched sounds that irritate dogs. apart from the very rude awakenings from slumber, there's also the tolerating of the freezing cold weather in your PJs while you are ordered to stand outside turner house despite the fact that there is CLEARLY no sign of fire.

the first time it went off the first thing that came to my mind was my roommate nicole for she is fearful of the cold and she smokes. put the two together and she is likely to cause the fire alarm to go off by smoking in the room. the other girls in my floor were doing their finals together with nicole in the other room and when the alarm went off all i heard was them screaming and laughing. thus i immediately came to the conclusion that it was them. but it wasn't. the next person that came to mind was michelle, whose final projects had burning rubber cement on paper involved and i was pretty worried for her room was just next door and i can imagine the horror and panic that she will be in if that should happen to her. the first thing i did was to check the walkway to see if the fire was nearby and i immediately grabbed my wachovia bag which contained all my impt documents - bank, immigration, passport, school etc. and then i debated bringing my beloved blankie from my grandma. as i stood downstairs with my friends i was uber worried that if there was truly a fire, i will bawl over the loss of my blankie, fighting the fire fighters for access to my room to get it back, risking life and limb just to save it in the most dramatic way i could envision. hahahaha.

so the fire department came in it's full glory, rushing first to dyson house where the fire alarm goes off on a regular basis before making a u-turn to turner house. that was seriously quite funny. i thought it was some dudes in hte art sch smoking pot or drugs that set it off i mean..we are in america and we are in college. i didn't expect any idiot to pull the alarm on the second last night at turner. but apparently. it was an idiot who pulled the alarm. seriously. we are in college people. this is so embarassing. the fire department obviously knew this was all a joke and they were strolling. and i tell you. american fire department does not stroll when it comes to such things.

so the next day as people started going home i joked with maggie saying that i would pull the fire alarm that night just to see how many people were left and true enough, an hour into my deep sleep the fire alarm rudely awakened me. the moment i saw maggie she was like GLORIA. and for a moment it didn't register with me and then it struck me that i was a potential asshole waiting to be jumped on by the many other turner house residence. but it obviously can't be me cos i'm too guai and too cowardly. being the typical singaporean, afraid to break the law. we are taught that playing a fool with such things is no fun and you will get into deep shitzazz.

anyhows. i'm very thankful and touched that ben ben shared his big coat with me cos i was FREEZING in my PJs. he saved me from dying from hyperdermia or smth. haha. they have thus decided that i am utterly adorable and have decided that i am butters from southpark among the grp. -___-'''

oh i miss my friends back at scad :( lunchie maggie, cute ben ben, vulgar zahari, smart jill, silly kel, crazy michelle who barges into my dorm every 5 minutes. man. when they all left i felt all alone and lost. without them, homesickness finally stepped in and my heart was filled with conflicting emotions. part of me wanted to stay in savannah cos i loved it so, part of me missed my friends so much, part of me wanted to go home and oh gosh. so much emotions at one shot. it was hard to handle. thank goodness for the many chores of cleaning my dorm that i had to do that kept me sane. i had fun cleaning the fridge as i scrapped off the ice in the freezer to prevent it from flooding as i defrosted the fridge, making lil snowballs in the freezer just for the fun of it :D

anyhows, i stayed over at my adopted mum's hse. she lives in a superbly nice neighborhood. it's seriously like what u see in television shows. lol. she has two uber cute and uber friendly dogs that were spoilt silly by me with all the pampering as the two of us sat there watching a musical on the tele with her two dogs on my lap. even the two cats that visitors rarely see came out to greet me :) i am an animal person :D

her house is uberly nice and cosy, located next to the forrest, they have deers and ducks and herons visiting them. with a lake right in the backyard, ducks come wading by for food and in the spring you get to see the ducklings too :)

then...off i go..back to singapore. my first flight all by myself was a horror. was utterly bored to tears at the houston airport, having 9 hrs to burn all by myself. i still can't believe they make you pay for the lil trolley thingies that u use for the luggage. i paid 4 bucks, only to have to return the trolley cos i couldn't bring it onto the shuttle which will bring me to the international airport. and then..i couldn't find the check in counter for singapore airlines and i had to try asking around and BOY WERE THEY UNFRIENDLY. grrr. in a sense i am thankful for the fact that i had so much time in between. i cannot imagine panicking and being in great danger of missing my flight back home. geez.

so after enduring a great length of time on the plane and seriously going crazy. like i really really wanted to go crazy. like i imagined myself screaming and tearing my hair out and fighting with the air stewardess to open the door of the plane and jumping out to freedom and air. goodness gracious. thank goodness the person i sat with was a really nice singaporean so it wasn't hard for me to make trips to the bathroom.

all i can say after all that is that i am thankful to be back to the land i am familar with and i wanted to belt out the singapore songs going "THIS IS HOME...TRULY..WHERE I KNOW I MUST BE..WHERE MY DREAMS WAIT FOR ME..WHERE THE RIVER ALWAYS FLOWS..THIS IS HOME...SURELY. AS MY SENSES TELL ME. THIS IS WHERE. I WON"T BE ALONNNNNEEEEEEEEEE....FOR THIS IS WHERE....I KNOOOWWWW...I"MMMMMMMMM HOOOOOMMMMMMMEEEEE :D :D :D :D

welcome back!

how's my day?? here's how...

apart from waking and packing my stuff for home and then going for sushi lunch with my lunchie maggie.... majority of my day flew past without me knowing doing this: 

PAINTING for my 2d finals. 

i am UTTERLY EXHAUSTED. i've been working CONTINUOUSLY on a painting since 1pm and its almost 11pm and i'm just done. i still have to do touch ups though, but i am UTTERLY exhausted. i was seriously losing my senses. like after 91288423495 hrs of work (abit of hyperbole there) i couldn't see the people coming in through the door. i felt faint while painting the little itsy bitty details. omg... and it doesn't help that i am nursing a cold, blocked and runny nose, sneezing, congestion, sore throat and cough. it made painting my 2d finals really a PAINting. 

there is of course, no one to blame for the suffering that i am in because I played myself in it. yes. i am stupid and retarded. becos...EVERYONE ELSE HAS SIMPLE DESIGNS BUT ME BEING OH SO DETAILED HAVE GONE HAPPILY CRAZY DETAILED AND I HAVE DIED PAINTING THIS THING. omg...nonetheless..i reckon the pain has been worthy. i never felt happy/pleased about a painting before. in the past i seriously would have denied any connections with my paintings and throw them aside before anyone can see it and identify it as mine. but this...oh yes this i am proud to say it's mine. i will hang it up everywhere and sign my name and declare it is mine. yes yes :)

all that using 2 split complimentary hues (yellow-orange and violet (yes. we dun call purple purple)) in various tones, tints and shades. haha i bet you don't know the difference. there is my dear friend. VERY BIG DIFFERENCES that we art students ought to know. in fact...we are going to have a test on color. doesnt it sound super trivial and lame???

and this is also all thanks to my handy dandy size 2 and size 0 brush for fine details and of course, my 1/4" flat brush and my angled brush, excellent for doing straight and curved edges :) but of course...they cost a bomb too. bloody 7 bucks for ONE stupid brush. BLOODY HELL. MADE OF WHAT. HAIR OF AN ANGEL AH. GANASAI. NO WONDER ARTISTS STARVE..GRRRR...o_o

anyhow..my masterpiece for drawing finals. am uber proud of this one too. though after seeing it on picture i once again see things to be changed/edited. i am amazed at my talents. oh my gloria. you are talented. hahaha.

good Lord...i am exhausted..REST REST. another painting to do for tmr. oh lord. give me the strength. (and money to afford more paint and brushes)

foggy night...foggy night. all is fog. all is blur....

oohhh...orbs in the skyyyy...

they say chocolate helps release stress. 

in the midst of finals, abit of a party won't kill. FONDUE NIGHT :) 

jill, kel and michelle went shopping while i had to go for art hist extra class and apparently they came back with 16 shopping bags.0.0 they bought ALOT of stuff for the fondue night. it was fun. check out the cute hershey shits fondue pots :D they even came with the lil fondue pitch forks. :D

in order to not set the fire alarm off with the little fire from the fondue jill covered the fire alarm thingamajig and opened the windows. hahaha. we had a PARTAY in the room. there was michelle, maggie, kel, naomi, heather, rachel, pat, orlando, jill and myself. it was such a tight squeeze in the room with all the food in the middle. :)

to add to the whole celebration is the fact that we only have 4 more days of classes left, a week before i fly back and see my beloveds and to all the hard work that we've put in and the times we had spent together as friends :) and of course, not to mention the big thanksgiving and christmas! you have no idea how big a christmas and thanksgiving thing my friends here are. haha. jill even has christmas lights in our room and if we had time, she would decorate our room. 

and and and....we watched a christmassy movie - elf on my big mac screen. not very big, but the biggest that we have for now. it was fun :) all these in return for slogging the entire of last night and the whole day. 5 hrs straight of standing and breathing in charcoal dust. i am PLEASED with my final drawing. Prof Ramsey is very pleased too...maybe i'll get another 100 like i did on my white conte drawing. hahaha :D but yea...this is definitely de BEST i have done i would think. in to the foundation studies competition. i think i am seriously showing all my effort into my work and my professors can see that :D

kel told me how professor davies kept praising my work during her make up class with another section today and kel said the other kids were quite annoyed. OOPS. sorry to be a market spoiler. i am afterall...a typical singaporean...SI BEH KIASU SIA!! ;) 

time for a well deserved restful night :) joy joy joy :D

oh i am exhausted. mentally and physically.

oh Lord. grant me the strength to get through finals.

on a happier note. i experienced my first fog today :) like seriously. it was soooo cool. visibility was like within 3 blocks of houses and then the world disappears into this dreamlike dimension. at night all the street lamps just look like floating orbs. 

fog is cool.

and i like fall.

the trees are pretty and they are nice and brown.

ain't it nice to run through those crispy leaves??

i love fall :)

ok. as promised. not really promised, but another piece of my drawing class stuff. white conte pastel on black canson pastel paper. 

sooo...i am TIRED from drawing class >.< 

like we had to buy the arches paper and apparently we are just going to try out the texture and get used to it. so we are going to do our finals TWICE. bloody hell. draw the same thing twice?!??! i am sick of that stupid still life. i am going to dream about it. ack. and the texture of arches is dis-the-gus-the-ting.  the feeling is like nails on chalkboard. ACKERS. like srsly. it's ICKY. 

i am glad scad quarters last for 10 weeks. i am tired now and i need a break from classes. >.<

on a side....do i have a confused face?? cos my drawing professor always say that i look lost/confused and asks me if i'm alright. :S

ok. i haven't posted my work for some time already. 1 reason mainly being we've been working on the same stupid sequence of monkeys for the LONGEST period EVERRR for 2d...and there hasn't been much to post up and 2 i just forgot. hahaha. 

so here's our final project for 2d design....spent the whole weekend driving my ass crazy trying to come up with all these radial designs. they are 10" by 10" done using graphite on drawing paper. tools being a crappy cheapo compass made in china, french curves, circle template and ruler. 

so here was my first design: the tikis. 

it was inspired by tiki land with tiki and their spears, feathers, palm trees and aboriginal doodles. hahaha. i worked on it for soooo long that i even dreamt of it. 

this was the 3rd one that i worked on. decided to experiment with the whole pinwheel/spinning fan blades to try and create like movement and all with the star like arrows and increasing/decreasing spheres. whatever...
last one that i did. once again i tried to experiment with the fan blades, this time decreasing the width and increasing the repetition. incorporated various elements from previous designs like the spears, fan blades and the aboriginal circle border thingy. you can tell i couldn't be bothered anymore cos the bg is totally empty and i just like left my drafting lines there and darkened it cos i didn't want the blank bg anyway. hahaha. crappy effort.
last but not least, this was the second one i did. it has like crazy creatures wearing leaf/feather caps. can you see it???? hahahaha i went abit crazy filling up the middle squares with swirlies cos it looked absolutely plain and me being me, dislike white blank stuff on my designs. i am insane on details!!! so anyhows....this is going to be the final piece that i work on using acrylic gouache, some opaque watercolor shit.  

anyhows. it really wasn't supposed to be so detailed cos we were going to paint but i just couldn't stop myself from being so detailed. i got teased quite alot for being so insanely insane with the details. it was on the only insane one in the class. most people just had rough sketches. mine was the few that was like....ready ready. ho hum.....

i will post up pictures of my white conte pastel on black canson pastel paper drawing tmr cos it's night time and i dun like the lighting in the room. it makes everything look yellowy. ickyyy...

i have thus concluded that my roommate who procrastinates has NOT learnt her lesson. like seriously.. jill and i are quite irritated with her cos we have to deal with her mood swings everytime she panics when her work is still not done and the deadline is in a few hours time. 

you would think that after having a huge blank piece of paper unpainted or drawn on would require ALOT of time spent to catch up. but noooo....she has spent the past 2 nights out with her bunch of crazy friends till the next morning, returning at noon to sleep all the way till night and then it repeats all over again. she might as well go live in Singapore since that's the kind of time she's spending awake anyways. 

so why are we irritated? becos 

1) when she sleeps in the afternoon, it's hard to live like a normal person cos we have to be really silent and it's rather annoying and anti-social cos jill and i can't even talk. 

2) we have to deal with her panic attacks 

3) her mess is ALL over the place. like seriously. she has PILES of dirty clothes like from her desk to the halfway mark of the bed length. like srsly girl....you are rich, you are "busy" partying..still...have some sense of responsibility pls. 

grrr..

ok. i'm rather tired out from spending a whole afternoon at wallin drawing and i still have 3 more very tedious 10 by 10"radial patterns/designs to come up with. my poor back is acheing.....

yawn. -__- zzzzz

anyhows. i was on the bus back from wallin when i overheard this conversation between these 2 girls. apparently some scad kids got hauled off to jail for trespassing. haha. well...the story is that these photo majors found an AMAZING shooting location which is at a concrete mill so they snuck in at night, throwing their bags across the fence then climbing over, setting up the lighting and all that. and of course...they aren't allowed there since it's not public property nor did they have permission. so the police came and caught them for trespassing and now they have to get people to bail them out. 

that was quite amusing. heh heh heh. 

[edit]

soo...i met up with my adopted mum (Sandra) from church today with michelle cos i am totally awkward with strangers...and it was awesome. Sandra came to our dorm to pick the two of us up and i was kinda worried about not being able to identify her when like this crazy old lady starts YELLING my name. oh my gosh. so embarassing. soo...she has this uber cool car which is DAMN high tech. i suspect she is batman's butler's wife. hahaha

anyhow Sandra is DAMN knowledgeable. She knows ALL KINDS OF THINGS...ranging from the history of Savannah to charitable societies to medical stuff and novels and everything under the moon stars and planets. so before she took us out for dinner she drove us down to river street and explained how the cobbled streets came about and we saw this UBER HUGE CARGO SHIP UP CLOSE and she drove us around the important park squares and told us the significance of the monuments/statues erected and all sorts of other cool stuff :) suddenly savannah means so much more now. :)

sooo..she brings us to this thai restaurant, the King and I, which is a pretty famous thai restaurant here and omg..it was SOOOO GOOD. and i am soooo happy that both michelle and her loved the food. Sandra isn't very adventurous with food but she tried some thai curry and she loved it. she never tried anything with coconut milk but she absolutely loves it now <3>

i am blessed to have her as my adopted mum :) and i get to stay with her when i get kicked out of the dorms at the end of the quarter and meet her 2 cats and 2 dogs :)

oh what a fabulous night. now...back to work. 

so just within the past few days i had to handle HUGE ROLLERCOASTERS OF EMOTIONS. not mine. the people around me. it doesn't help when both your roommates bleed together. period. 

soo....

rollercoaster 1: 

obama wins, mccain supporter jill is very upset. she is not only pissed, she sounds like she is on the verge of tears. I for one am unable to comprehend why there is such a huge fuss over that. gloria is speechless.

rollercoaster 2: 

michelle is stressed over her perspective drawing and she comes into my room to work as usual. after struggling for a while she gets all stressed and frustrated and she starts tearing. gloria is speechless.

rollercoaster 3: 

by far the most exciting rollercoaster. procrastination is bad. or so i learnt from my other roommate, nicole. she is often pulling all nighters and today has been by far, the most exciting day living with her. 

see...when people procrastinate, they have to rush their work out by a deadline. and art, unlike other work, CANNOT be rushed out within a short frame of time. and what happens?? people panic. art students being art students come up with creative stories to trick our professors into believing our stories so as to extend the deadline. 

my roommate brilliantly told her professor that our room flooded and ruined her work. her BRILLIANT professor demanded a letter from the maintenance people. roomie comes home PANICKING LIKE CRAP. she's SO FREAKED OUT...she's shaking...she needs to smoke. she runs down with a HUGE GROUP OF HER GIRLFRIENDS for moral support. smokes till she REEKS of smoke, comes back, can barely talk coherently so much so that her girlfriends have to explain what on earth was happening and said that we have to flood our room. 

!!! 0.0 !!! WHAT?!??

YES. FLOOD OUR ROOM.

so jill and i are like.....omg...how should we respond to that? i mean..she's FREAKING out. we dun really have a choice. hence we compromise. we try and figure out a way to get the letter WITHOUT flooding the room. 

nicole runs to the RA's room to get the letter and you can hear her SCREAMING and peeing in her pants...well..metaphorically of course. you can tell she starts crying. it was pretty intense. 

while she was in the room, gloria was speechless. 

but now she's not. she's blogging about it cos as she thinks about it, that was pretty hilarious >.<

i wonder if she will ever learn to 

1) not procrastinate

2) not lie to a professor

on a happier note, class registration has worked out for the better. they expanded the classes so now i've managed to get the professors i wanted. HAPPINESS. i am paying my moneys worth now. 

another happy thing is that my 2d professor kept my work for display :) she might submit them for a competition. i don't know, but i know i will submit my work to win money. 

yes. 

win money.

i need money.

writing in short sentences is fun. it sounds more dramatic/poetic. hahah. 

 

OBAMA WON...

hence americans go crazy/wild/happy

americans are cheering like monkeys released from their cages. 

the courtyard is INSANE NOW. :|

the police comes. 

all is silent and calm once again....but only on the outside.

you can;t stop young wild americans from partying.

i never got this excited for a package. not even for my mac or for my adobe creative suites. i was as excited as a kid during christmas opening a present that knew it was going to be like an all time wanted xbox or smth. YES. I WAS JUMPING IN EXCITEMENT AS I RECEIVED THE EMAIL THAT MY PACKAGE FROM SINGAPORE HAS ARRIVED <3

as i got my package in my hands, i was so happy happy beams shot out of every pore of my body. i wanted to cry tears of joy as i was overwhelmed with the knowledge that things oh so familiar hid within the box, with the wonderful love of my pacey, a sister and an oh-so-dear friend. 

apart from my favourite nestle honey stars and yummy prima singaporean food seasoning and pocky sticks to share with my ang moh friends, i got a pleasant surprise from the noah's ark bible index tabs which i have been searching for like forever in all the local bible shops in singapore. how my dear pacey found it. i don't know. she works miracles all in the name of love <3>

"THE FRIENDS"

THE FRIENDS can connect in a mysterious way without even speaking.

Perhaps they have AMAZING MAGICAL POWERS. (yes pacey. we do ;p)

Perhaps they are both just PECULIAR IN THE HEAD. (yes indeed we are ;p)
