Credits to the DA artist who did this. REALLY PRETTY =) Wish I could draw like that.

Love Alice Cullen's Haircut. Wish I could do it for prom =P Short, wispy, light look. Something different from the norm. But I think laogong's gonna kill me if I looked like that... (will you? ><)

Speaking of Alice, I think actress Ashley Greene is the perfect Alice =) She tried out for the role of Bella but didn't get it =( I think Ashley's waaay prettier and could possible play a better Bella, but we'll never know =( Rob and Kris kind of destroyed my perfect image of Edward and Bella. But Taylor and Ashley managed to salvage my overall good impression of Twilight. Mei and I were talking about how Liv Tyler might be a good Bella/vampire. As for Edward... there's just no actor in my mind right now who can ideally play his role. Maybe Twilight should've been an anime xP

The wind outside is really strong. The door of the room keeps budging in its door frame, making noises as if someone's opening the door, peeping at me, and closing it, over and over again. T_T

Oh well. Back to Physics. Today's my most productive/second most productive day since Physics paper 3.

Most books in our regional libraries regarding 2012 are on loan...

So life is more or less a standstill now. There's still Physics MCQ and SATs to worry about, but somehow the urgency to practice hasn't set in. I've started doing Gary MCQs, but not SAT practices. Gonna have to chiong soon. I made three pairs of earrings yesterday night =) wonder if I'll continue with the online business thing.

New Moon was great! I'm a Team Jacob fan! =) How 'bout you? Although yeah Bella and Edward will always be together, I still think Jacob is a better catch. The warm friendly werewolf just appeals to me more than the cold, romantic vampire. In the real world, I think Jacob would've won Bella over once Edward left. Oh well you never know... A first love will always be a first love...

2012 was even awesomer! The digital effects completely owned any other movie I've seen (well, maybe except Transformers?) but I really, really, really, REALLY like the show, so much I could watch it again! Love the whole armeggedon storylines. Really feels like the end of the world is coming. And we're all gonna die. And the concept of how the world ends makes sense, unlike The Day After Tomorrow which seems little unrealistic. Solar flares causing the interior of the Earth to heat up, the seismic activities and tectonic movements generating tsunamis... Though I don't know how a land can sink underwater since the crust is supposed to be less dense. I wonder if it's possible that Tsunamis can overwhelm the Himalayas. The uplift of the African continent was cool too =) they didn't show how but it's nice to know at least not all of Earth went underwater. Now all the people from developed nations will be seeking shelter among those that used to be deemed developing. Ah all the geog studied over the past 6 years have not been in vain!

And Yellowstone park totally pwned the U.S. The ash cloud, as predicted, reached Washington D.C. Wish they showed more of the caldera erupting though. Speaking of U.S., the U.S. President in the show was a black man =) how cool. Guess he's supposed to represent Obama. He had a daughter (though a little old to be Obama's own daughters) and in the show his wife had passed away. The Queen of England had a couple of Welsh Corgi Pembrokes with her as she boarded one of the Arcs! Cute.

I think the issues and emotions are all connected and put there for a reason. The many side stories all contribute to the whole picture of Humanity trying to save itself.

Two old men were on a ship. One managed to say goodbye to his son, while the other was too late. His son and his family were in Japan and died before he could talk to him.

In the end, the rich survive because they can pay for the tickets to board the Arcs constructed.

A rich (fat) Russian businessman, also an ex-boxer, died in the process of saving his children.

The Indian who discovered the signs and started the whole theory of the end of the world perished in a tsunami along with his family because the plane that was supposed to take them to safety did not arrive.

The U.S. President and Italian President/PM chose to remain behind in their country (A captain never abandons his sinking ship)

And two families (one American, one Tibetan) managed to stowaway on one of the Arcs.

There's just so many characters and storylines, and meanings behind these stories. Rather tired now so I shall go off and maybe do some MCQs, rather than sit here and mope... Life is just too short =P

I wonder what it would be!

Everytime I listen to upcoming stars, less known artists, or fantastic singers, somehow I always dream what it would be like to be able to compose songs for them, or be like one of them for that matter.

Ah well, keep dreaming =) it's a good motivation.

Friday was a rather happy day, after Econs was over. Band concert was boring at first but Machu Picchu and the last two songs really made it worth. A medley of Enchanted soundtracks, followed by a medley of Michael Jackson songs was a lovely way to end the evening.

Plus a yummy Mos Burger supper, and 200 Pounds Beauty movie at home with Mei and Ma.

No wonder I slept for a wasteful 14 hours today...

But it felt dayumgoot.

I wish I had an MP3 I could listen to Owl City all day. Including times when I want to jog.

Dunno why today so sad/down/depressed/emo/miserable/demoralized/wasted (not in the drunk sense).

I'm hoping you'll sing alone,
though it's not your favorite song.

Got rather inspired after reading Titus' blog. Thought I'd pen down something before I close up for the night.

Don't wait for a crisis to make you realize the things you treasure most in life.

I chided myself today for spending the day as if As were already over. I did spend a good half of the day studying in school somewhat, but I "wasted" a good 3 hours on dinner at some ulu Sembawang place. Managed to snap a few nice shots and impressed my mum ^^

Throughout dinner As were the last thing on my mind. I savored the charcoal-steamboat contents and felt as if I could sit there forever just feeling the cool sea breeze sap the energy from my body (after all, heat travels from a body of higher temperature to one that is lower - physics!). I didn't give a crap about the world. Not even if 21 Dec 2012 was tomorrow. I was just enjoying time with my dad, mum and grandma.

So what if I don't get straight As? It may be disappointing, yes, but the world isn't going to end because of that. The world will end because of 2012, which by then no one would give a shit what grades you got. I believe everything happens for a reason. No one has to know what my grades are...

Still, no reason to slack. We're all Rafflesians after all (and elitist, as I gathered from talking and hearing people talk today and over the past few days).

In the end, we're all just a bunch of sheep.

Warning: rather lovey dovey post ahead.

I rummaged my brain in search of your old blog. It was definitely in my brain's memory box... Somewhere.

Amazingly I found it amidst a pile of jumbled words and https.

I read those posts and my heart melted all over again.

I decided to go through the 500+ pictures I have you saved on my computer (you'd think I was a stalker), and my heart melted some more.

Sometimes you just need to remind yourself of those days when you first fell in love, and you remember why you even got together. Then you feel all warm and fuzzy over and over again, and start to grin like a cheshire cat at the computer screen for no reason. Rekindled feelings really add that forgotten spark in a relationship. Talk about it with that special person, and maybe both of you would realize things you never noticed before.

Treasure that feeling, and all feelings that come along with love;

• The torment - when you really like that person, but don't dare to tell him/her
• The "wow-why-is-the-weather-suddenly-so-hot-i'm-sweating-like-crazy" syndrome - when you see that person down the corridor, and do either
  • Smile shyly and wave
  • Pretend not to see him/her, although both of you clearly saw each other.
• The asthma attacks - when you attempt to talk to him/her, and suddenly you're at a loss for words and your mouth goes a bit dry.
• The goosebumps - when he/she brushes against you, accidentally or on purpose.
• The heart attack - when you receive an SMS and your heart skips a beat
• The withdrawal symptoms - when you go too long without seeing that person. Or without SMSing the person.
• The blissful feeling - just being around the person.

And the whole "you're the best thing that ever happened to me" - cos you may not get to feel it again in your life, or for a long long time.

Then come the hurdles. These could represent incidents, people, a time period you have to get through without each other - anything. Some couples don't get past it, and for many possible reasons I couldn't possible mention here.

After it's over, both parties will inevitably feel sad. Don't feel sad that you ever got together with the person. Don't regret those powerful promises you made, and don't feel bad that you made them, because it is through making these promises, and creating wonderful memories with that person do you realize how powerful love is, and what love can do to a person. You learn from these experiences and become a better person, and know yourself better than before. Unfortunately (or fortunately), I haven't experienced something like that. So I don't think I've the right to ramble on about it too much.

As you cross each hurdle, you start to grow older and mature, and enter new stages. Perhaps these are some of the symptoms:

• You don't need to see each other every minute of the day, but when you do, you cherish the time and the experience can be even sweeter than you knew.
• You find calling that person by name a lil weird, cos both of you have nicknames for each other.
• You don't reply each others SMSes every hour, but you know the other party is thinking of you.
• You behave more in public, after seeing what couples in earlier stages of their relationship do. "Were we like that too?" "I think so." "Oops."
• You can tell the person's mood/whether that person is bothered by something, just by looking at his/her body language, listening to his/her tone of voice, or looking into his/her eyes.
• You don't go into fits every time he/she touches you, but you enjoy the warmth/coolness of his/her skin and welcome his/her hand to wrap around yours. It feels natural, and somehow you stopped sweating so much.
• You know you miss each other, regardless of where you are and what you're doing.
• You know almost EVERYTHING about that person, and vice versa. This may (or may not) include favorite/least favorite foods, color, type of movies, enemies, best friends, pet peeves, hobbies, habits, family tree, childhood, sports, taste in music, way he/she gesticulates when he/she speaks, they way he/she speaks, the way he/she behaves with friends vs you, mood swings and how to handle them, predicted reactions to a situation, preferred bed time, etc etc etc to the point where you probably know him/her better than he/she knows him/herself. You could probably write biography about him/her, go and on about him/her and not get tired of it.

I haven't gotten to the part about marriage. Don't have enough experience in that yet hehe.

Sometimes I wonder what others think of you and me. Then I figure, maybe it's better I don't know.

If anyone asks me what is the secret to a long term successful relationship, I think my current answer would be "be understanding and supportive". Okay I would give a longer answer but I'm so tired now and need to take a bath.

And that concludes this long random post. I hope I didn't miss anything out. And apologies to those who had to bear with this long post on their friends pages.

Siyun calls me Aunt Agony. I'd be honored =)

Happy 2 years 7 months =)

A much needed break tomorrow. Pretty thankful for that.

Today was the last time I'd have to face a list of essay questions and stupid comprehension stuff.

Next week's going to be the killer week. After that, I'm just going to hardcore Physics and SATs.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

It doesn't feel as if As are here. This doesn't feel real.

Listening to emo songs doesn't help - but it feels so good to feel so sad.
