i'm not really a cynic/pessimist.
you see, i found this out abt myself when after my first paper yesterday, I realised that the very natural state of mind should be STRESSED. stress over the papers to come. all my friends are.
but i am not stressed. i am fantasizing about all the things i can do once this ordeal passes. i am gg to run and get myself in the best shape possible for christmas. i am gg to tan myself evenly to get the most complementing skin tone i can ever have. i will get my ugly toenails sorted. i will go to orchard as and when i feel like it just so. no reason. just because. i will get down to a cosmetics hall to stock up on wonderful christmas limited edition palettes of cheek/lip colours. not because i wear makeup frequently. just because i am a sucker for packaging and love pretty things. i will have much better skin as i foresee that the medication the dermatologist prescribed will work. after 2 days i alr am seeing the redness go down. i really am very very excited abt the holiday season. i love the sickening crowds at the shopping centres. and i am a REAL pusher. if you're gg to bump into me, i will definitely shove you back. and if you look at me with shock, i will glare at you. if you're gg to start making some comment to yourself, i will make a loud comment abt you. so watch your bags. i may be small but i am super strong. haha. there was once terence pretended to lose to me at arm wrestling and i spent some time being so pleased with myself. until he came clean. and i was so dashed while he laughed madly. but i mean. when it comes to girl vs. girl don't underestimate me. HAHA. oh gosh!! ok. my heart rate is gg up. i am excited. i need to excuse myself now. back to the books.

lovin the muggin.
it's superultrafabulous that exams are approaching and i'm lagging behind in my readings. beowulf, paradise lost, chaucer.. you know, the great classics that no one will ever know abt until hollywood does completely sexed-up 'adaptations' to draw audiences.
it's also superultrafabulous that studying = snacking during self-imposed breaks. isn't it great? as we feed the brain with knowledge, we feed our mouths with junk. as our brains are enlarged, so our waist size increases. everything adds up, you know. we never have to worry abt our actions not tallying with consequences. i am gg to hit the gym tmr. i refuse to be a victim of exam-induced weight gain.
it's superultrafabulous to study in a public place, preferably one where retail therapy is available when the stress gets too much to bear. i mean, isn't it completely logical to stock up on plastic files just cos they are so brilliantly coloured and floral notebooks? it makes sense right? even when considering the fact that after exams means that we're on break? and we won't be using them? duh it makes sense. it's therapy you geddit? not practicality.
it's superultrafabulous, this life!

hitlist
My current favourites:
1. my nail colour- OPI's Lincoln Park After Dark, which is a deep purple with a hint of shimmer. with all the hype about production not being able to keep up with the demand of this shade, I just HAD to experience it for myself. no wonder it is Posh's favourite shade. it's quite something. but next week i'm leaving the dark side and going back to the light. HAHA.
2. Ben & Jerry's Dublin Mudslide- everyone knows i don't have a sweet tooth. but a tub in my freezer is calling out to me. and this is my favourite flavour ever. so. some day. before my sis attacks it!
3. Honey Dijon and Mustard flavoured kettle chips. YUM. YUM. speaks volumes because i rarely ever snack.
4. my new grey marle zara sweater. it fits like a dream.
5. November edition of UK Glamour: great size, great pink cover, great articles (esp. the one on overcoming tiredness which i absolutely need) and fashion spreads.
6. La Vie En Rose by Tony Bennett and K.D.Lang- it comforts me when deadlines and exams are consuming my life now
7. chunky elastic bangles- the normal ones ( you know, the non-elastic type that sit on flesh)don't really fit me cos i am so incredibly small, but i've managed to find 4 to suit many looks: metallic, retro, breezy and modern. dorothy perkins, topshop and far east have some great ones.
8. terence. past, current and everlasting favourite. HOHO. everyone knows it, but just to annoy those who can't stand me being lovey-dovey. this one's for YOU.

Aren't we lovely?
haha.. it's been some time hasn't it?
been away celebrating my birthday (whilst battling last minute essays and tests) and i had 4 celebrations in total. all were smashing in their own ways. thank you everyone.
if a birthday is meant for a girl to be queen for a day, then you all made it happen.
thank you darling, my whole family (esp. my sis whom i love and adore), qiulin, yujie, shaf, jiahui, abby, funai, mel, manda, cindy, huijia, car, bear, koko, linnet, asal, nina, puan.
you all, you made me very very happy. =)
will post the photos soon.
am trying to focus on studying for french now. but am tapping my foot and my heart is soaring to stevie wonder's Isn't She Lovely. I tweaked one of the verses and this is my version for my beebsy. I love you Terence.
Isn't he lovely
Truly, the angel's best
Boy, I'm so happy
We have been heaven blessed
I can't believe what God has done
Through us He'll give life to two
But isn't he lovely made from love.
To hear the song, I highly recommend going to youtube and watching a video montage of Queen Rania of Jordan. Isn't She Lovely plays in the background while there are photos upon photos of her beautiful face. She's really gorgeous, reminds me of Rachel Weisz. Well, but I was royalty for 4 days too so no envy there. =)

capture me with grace
hui shan and shan =)i hereby proudly announce that i am henceforth invincible- it's THAT time of the month once again and i survived all discomfort and bloatedness (oh, how i felt like a pufferfish you wouldn't imagine) WITHOUT being pop-happy on panadol menstrual. YES!! this is the first month in many years that i've successfully abstained frm the painkillers. last mth was a complete terror (haha mel. NOT horror. TERROR); i was on campus when the pain hit me and i actually wished God had taken me home. ok, not really. but the pain was excruciating. it's not easy being a woman but we get to wear dresses. SO THERE.
jiahui, thank you so much for the parcel. more than what it contained, i was so moved that you thought of me. and your message on the card really let me know that you love me for me. thank you! was with terence when i opened the letterbox and haha.. he really saw that i couldn't wait to just rip open the parcel. it's very nice to receive mail the old-fashioned way. =) thank you friend. see you soon!
cher, thank you for posting the pics. it's nice to see us together, all young and beautiful. that includes you, silly moira.
i need you Jesus; this world has nothing for me.

fluff
really wish i have the inspiration to muse about an issue; something that requires higher-order thinking. but whenever terence returns i lose the ability to mentally debate with myself (i.e. my insistence that fat people should NEVER EVER think that they are fabulous cos skinny/slim is the way to go, versus all that stands against my argument). hmm.
but now i'm in lala land most of the time. i went for a mani yesterday and i FEEL SO GOOD. i had chipped my nail very badly and having it fixed by the lovely Ee ting really makes me happy. unfortunately, no cute colour name to speak of this time. crimson was what i was bent on but on second thought, i decided to wait for next week cos that shade matches all my birthday dresses. i requested a bronze-ey hue, and settled on OPI's designer series' Diamonds. it turned out to be lilac/light-greyish. i'm pleased. let me post a pic of my nail colour soon. baba.
the ever-lovely terence REALLY, REALLY encourages my ditzy mood. yesterday, (as always when i have a fresh mani), i was very compulsively placing my fingers against his dark skin to admire the paint job (the contrast is better, you see). i did it eight times at least, and each time he would either beam at me proudly/say "you like your nails, don't you?"/look at me lovingly. haha. =) it's so trivial, so insignificant. but small things like a mani excite me and he's so happy when i am.
this boy knows my heart; he really does. and for that, i love him madly.

J'adore, with every beat of my tea-leaves heart, Terence.
feeling slightly dashed; i've a bad knee therefore stilettos are currently out of my repertoire. been wearing kitten-heeled pumps or ballet flats more often nowadays. OH LORD heal me!
I must say, however, that life is brilliant despite the above minor injury (and major blow to my hopes of being of normal height)! terence returned 2 days ahead of schedule today, because the typhoon in qingdao destroyed some "ramp" so sailing activities were hindered and... voila!! my petit ami is back! i woke at 6 to fetch him this morn, and i reiterate that no one can possibly motivate me to rise before the sun, save for my love. =)
they didn't let off on their training (assuming that if they had remained in QD they would've been workin' it out at sea), so we had a couple of hours together just now before he headed to the sailing centre and me, home for a cat nap. now, tehons and I are going to hunt down my topshop size 4 foil dress, dinner then catch Man U-Chealsea at wherever in orchard they screen it (I hope for a mojito as well...) those working/schooling tmr, EAT YOUR HEART OUT!! my break has only just begun.
bye!
