Near lack of sleep.
I got tickled by a very silly thing in class today and exploded with laughter. But it's really quite funny what...
During my Arts of SEA lecture, I was sitting with the usual gang and we had a guest lecturer in the place of the usual Dr Johnson. Today's topic was about The origins of modern Malayan Art (Paintings). Sad to say, it was super boring and we were all dozing off though I did try my best to stay awake. Halfway through, the lecturer touched upon this artist by the name of Yong Mun Sen who was dubbed the "Father of Malayan Painting". She went on with the usual stuff of giving a 'brief' introduction of his background yada yada...Then suddenly she said,
"He came to Singapore in a bookshop, and move to Penang in a bookshop"
Somehow I manage to find that very funny, and I kept laughing uncontrollably. The notion of sojourning and migration a la Harry POtter did sound so ludicrous...no meh?
Anyway it was cheap thrill on my part, because she obviously meant that he came to Singapore and set up a book shop, and 2 years later moved to Penang, and also worked in a bookshop.
After class, i went to look for Farrell for our long due chat. He hasn't reply my emails after the last "greetings" email he sent me. It was a hot day, so by the time I climbed up the stairs to the History Department, I was rather peeved to find that Farrell's not in his office. Right, it was about lunch time. Hence I've decided to troop over to the engine canteen to tabao some food.
Just as I was ascending up the stairs, I was mildly horrified to see the girl in front of me wearing the same oh-i'm-so-happy rainbow keyhole t-shirt that I have recently bought from Wetseal. Oh well, it just proves that people do outsource for clothes and my shirt is nice hence it appeals to other people too. But what really cheesed me off was this group of guys, presumably from Engine, started pointing at us, LIKE WE ARE NOT THERE, and started echoing and shouting to each other that "hey those 2 girls are wearing the same shirt". Please la, it's just the same shirt lo, I'm not even making a bif fuss outta this minor accident, I really don't see why they should. It's not as if we had identical broccolis sprouting out of our heads. WTF man...They really should just grow up. Great, now the whole canteen knows that there are 2 girls wearing the same shirt. And it didn't help that our shirts are so bright and colourful, and distinctively recognizable.
Ah well, that's from a faculty, whose people finds Management modules interesting...Gee.

My blog is getting boring. It reminds me of a certain someone we all know who has the most boring blog entries in the world, and who blogs on livejournal. Makes me wonder, if people reads my blog because like his, it's so super boring that it becomes amusing to read...Sucks. Lesson at 9am. Tutorial still not done, and later in the day, i'm going to the Singapore Fashion WEek. Liddat how to look nice...? #%$@$#!!!!
The weekend was a way too short one. I managed to finish Lockhart's essay and hand it in before 12 Mid-night (even though I was supposed to hand in during his class at 4pm, which I had conveniently skipped, all because the I was tearing my hair out trying to complete the damn essay). I think I am the last to hand in my paper. Again. After 36 hours of staring at the computer screen, my vision had turned into some weird surreal green colour. When I looked into the mirror, I had a greenish tinge. Xiaobai had a greenish tinge(not because he is in desperate need of washing). Even the corridor in the History department looked green. urghh.
Zy then drove us to West Coast Mac for dinner, but we only had $12 in cash among the both of us, so we only ordered a 20 piece Nugget, a double cheeseburger and a strawberry milkshake. The milkshake kinda sucked, but he is crazy over it, but I was too hungry to mind. Plus, i was already in a happy mood. Macs has always been a mood enhancer for me...The more food, the happier I get.
Saturday, we went to watch Phantom of the Opera. Zy had bought seats at B-row, which is actually the first row. Any closer to the stage you'd drop into the cockpit. The show was fantastic. I love it that the Phantom could just appear anywhere imaginable. Zy said this phantom, as compared to the one he previously saw, is too whiney. He previous phantom was more 'man'...Ah, what does men know about 'manliness' anyway.
Zy especially liked the last scene To the point of no return, during which the Phantom was disguised as the fat Tenor, Sinor Piangi, who was supposed to be playing the DOn Juan opposite Christine. He was wearing Piangi's big black robe, the cowl of which hid his face, and I think he and Aminta(played by Christine) were like mutually seducing each other. Everytime when Christine's finger touches him, or when he traces her outline, he looked like he was orgasming. But the singing was totally perfect, until Christine realizes that Don Juan wasn't Sinor Piangi, but the phantom himself and calmly pulled off his mask and the wig that the phantom wore. Somehow that charm and suaveness that the phantom had established before was completely destroyed. In place of his skillfully sleeked back black hair, he had a few pathetic wisp of blond hair sticking out in any possible directions that made him look a little like a deformed goblin. I mean being a deformed man is bad enough la, they still made him look like a deforemed goblin. I mean even though I knew that the Phantom was supposed to be some gifted freak of nature with a hideous face, but I still wanted him to be as suave and as phantomly as possible. At least give him back his nicely-oiled back black hair right...
Despite it all, I think it was worth every cent of the $150 that Zy paid for the tickets. The song, Think of me, actually had a special meaning to me; and when Christine first sang it, I almost teared--I felt sad, regret, relieved and love all at the same time. Somehow that was possible k...And we were sitting so close to the stage that it felt almost like we were in the show itself.
I would have liked to talk more about my phantom show, but then Laura reads my blog and she'll kill me if I have too much spoilers here. Hence the above is just a boring lil' summary of my Phantom show. But rest assure it's way better than that.
When I went back home at night, I saw my new iMac! Actually I'm only moderately excited over it, because I've never been a techno kinda person. Gadgets are but a tool to make my life more exciting/miserable. But zy was like gushing over it, and the moment he stepped into my house, he started doing something to the computer. 'doing' because My vocabulary doesn't include the technical term of what he was 'doing' on the computer. This new piece of 'thing' had a "whah whah whah" sound coming out if it when it was on, which according to zy, weren't supposed to be the case. So it means my brother had to wait for another week befor he could get his hands on it. Oh, but the only thing that I liked about the whole Mac machine is that it has a built in Camera. how exciting right. I actually decided Mac over PC after I watched the whole series of Mac Vs PC commercials which were hilarious.
But now i realize I'm completely clueless as to how to use it. urghh...I couldnt even invite people to video chat with me over MSN, so in the end, I spent the whole night making funny faces at ZY over Skype using the video cam.
Slept through the day on Sunday, and didn't get anything done except 1 miserable reading.

Spree-ed
Found a supplier for very pretty Korean Clothes and I've been busy holding a lil' spree amongst my friends, choosing clothes for Friends of my bf whose bdays are coming soon. Hence this blog has actually been left in abandonment for quite some time (yet again!). Transferred the money overseas today and I refused to look at the new stock that might have just arrived because I have already made changes to my order 3 times, that my Seller *REMEMBERED* my name. And prolly my order number, which happened to be 10 digits long. Hah! So here I am, back to my cosy lil blogsphere, which will occupy my attention at least until my loots arrive. I should consider selling clothes on day, and set up a "sister e-store" next to ZY's toys store. Hurhurhur....and we'll make alot alot alot of $$$$.
*Flicks my own ears and wake up from day dream* But I should, considering how I've been spreeing like mad...And finally do I understood what Jessica meant when she said she hadn't shopped in a brick n motar shop for a damn long time...hurhurhur.
My other items that I brought from other ppl's spree a while back has arrived.
#1) My G & G iFax Contact lens from Korea.
I got the one that supposedly make your eyes appear bigger watery, dreamy and doll-like, by enlarging the pupils. Like those by Acuvue and FreshLook, except that those 2 were way too small for my oddly shapped pupils. That day I tried a trial pair of FreshLook contacts and they were smaller than my pupil, and I could see a ring of black around the edge of the lens. Gosh! And worse was that I almost couldn't pull it out, and we sat at the Optitian for 45 mIn or so, all the whilte trying to remove the trial pair from my eyes. Good thing about my G & G lens is that it costs only about $41.50 i think, for a pair of semi-permanent coloured lens, + shipped. So I thought it was not a bad deal. Budden hor, I dont think I achieved that famously acclaimed dreamy, watery-eyed look lei. And please hor, I got the black colour one...So next time when You see me, don't think of me as a fake eye ang-mo wannabe k...
#2) My rainbow T-shirt from WetSeal Spree
Oh I fell in love with it when I saw it on the model at the WetSeal website. It looks so bright and cheery and so please-buy-me-and-I'll-make-you-happy. Or so that was what I told him, when I was trying to make him tell me that the shirt will look nice on me. Haha. Aiya, just model looks damn hot la... Actually I wanted to get more items from them because the Spring fashion this year is just so adorable, with so many of the same type of "make you happy items". Budden, the prices plus shipped would have killed me. My T alone cost SGD24.50 + shipped from US. Even if I managed to get Zy to sponsor my shopping, he'll prolly need to sell his whole room of toys. (which is not necessarily a bad thing you know?)
#3) Unsuccessful.
I tried to buy this pair of knee-length brown leather boots from this Taiwan seller for 599 NT, which would have cost me around SGD38, but it was just plain bad luck that it went out of stock. After I paid, so the seller has to refund me. budden she KNS wanna cheat my money, and the amount she return me was short of like 20-odd cents. Okie la it's not like figging alot of money la, and I decided that it was just too throw-face to email her to tell her that she short-changed me of 20-odd cents. Budden, I felt slightly cheated. *Roar* Zy said it was not reallyy bad luck, cos then I would have saved the money to buy the pair of Forever21 skinny jeans that I had been eyeing. And that's another story by itself. I went to check on their website that day, and found that they only had Size 7 & 11 for that design...and I only wear a Size 3. Dang! Anyway if Size 3 = M, then 5=L, and 7=XL; so 11= XXL?!?!
But I thought they were skinny jeans...
End of blogging for today...Gotta go back to my books...Lockhart's essay's due tmr...$#@!!!

Frequent retail therapy requires some income to fuel. And people who knows me knows that I don't like to teach tuition, I hate being a sales promoter, scorns being a telemarketeer, and abhorrs selling insurance. But ever since I quite my agency, my income has been pretty irregular. However, I've been getting jobs with pretty decent pay lately, and I hope to land myself in the next one that pays $80 for 15 min of doing almost nothing.
I Recently did a 1-hr stint for $60 with Laura. Though it is not as profitable as modelling, but it's pretty decent for standing around doing nothing. And it's definitely more than what the fucker booker used to pay me after taking ~70% of commission from me, towards the end of my stay there. PLus I need to find ways to fuel my spending and my hobby, so I cannot hiam too much.
I'm thinking of getting this pair of boots http://tw.f2.page.bid.yahoo.com/tw/auction/b32302160?u=a3300575
which costs 599 NT, which is 599 / 20.93 + 6.50 (for shipping n what nots)=$35.12
It's cheap for boots in Singapore, but the most pricey one on that website, but it has the perfect specifications: perfect heel height, perfect pointiness of toe, not to tight at the calf, perfect trunk etc, and it's (fake) leather. Should I get, should I get it????
And hor, if I do get it, should I get the brown or the black one?? brown is sooo in the rage the winter that just passed, but black never goes outta fashion does it? But don't u think the black looks a bit kuku? Sigh, wanna buy 1 shoes also so mahfun, I should just go ESAD... Gan Jionging over Lockhart's essay now, at 5am in the morning. ZZZzzzz.....

Gee I haven't been able to post a picture of my 'FLy me to Neverland' in the post that was supposed to have it. So here's a picture of it.
Oh and I was talking to some friends today, and they've sorta encouraged me that I could post the earrings and what-nots that I've made on my blog, and see who wanna buy. Of course I promise I'll charge minimal. It's really just to fuel my hobby. You guys think it'll be feasible?
