Chicken Rice and Chocolate Tarts


First monday off with no work and no morning rehearsals! I'm so thankful for today, i could catch up on my work and i managed to order a pair of contacts. Now i just have to reach sch before 5 to get my assignment submitted. That was my lunch, nothing too fantastic, but dessert will be lip smacking. It's a moderate monday.

Effeminate blocks


The residents have spoken: they like their blocks purple and pink, which is fine by me. It's pretty pleasant to look at. I heard the other colour schemes were really bad. And looking at most of the hdbs around our island, i seriously think our architects (or whoever decides the colour schemes before residents had a say) were colourblind.

In this crazy time, and in this crazy life.


It's you it's you, you make me sing, you're every line, you're every word, you're everything.

Of aspirations.


This sem i took a writing module to push my CAP score up, and things were looking pretty fine until i completely missed the deadline for my second assignment. Got it back today not expecting a brilliant score given that i'd rushed it out under 2 hours.
True enough i only got 70, which was the average. I asked my tutor if the 70 included the late penalty and she said yes. After class she encouraged me (i must have looked quite disappointed when i got my grade) and told me that she enjoyed reading my writing and that i had a flair, and that i should try the advanced writing modules.
I don't quite know whether to take her comment with a pinch of salt cos i heard there was someone who got 100 for the previous assignment and i saw her comment on my classmate that read, 'you write well'.
Anyhow, the whole incident got me thinking about my choice of major, and whether i'm in the wrong place. As much as i enjoy myself in theatre, i don't think i'm doing as well as i would in new media. :( hmm. Oh well, that short conversation was kinda like the highlight of the day.

EDIT:
I'm sitting in LT13 now waiting for CNA to get on with their filming, and it's past 9 already. :( Most miserable, didn't do much except folding fans. zz.

Cringeworthy


Heartlanders is awful. I dread Tv Mobile's programming. There was dubbing, retarded storyline about an escaped snake and worse still, sound effects that were dubbed over. What is the impetus for a female police officer to go into an abandoned house alone, and even more ridiculous, a pack of men whom she doesn't know surrounding her, beating her up and cutting her hair with a knife? I think there was 3min of haircutting with dubbed sfx of her supposedly whimpering, but it sounded like she was having a lewd act performed on her. Ugh. I'd much rather have the local sitcoms, at least they have the comedic element to cover their arse.

A day in the life of.


This is what happens during rehearsal. Dee runs out with her friend cindy to get toasted sandwiches at the vending machine in the library, the only machine that accepts notes. And yes, that's our dinner! :( it's almost 10 and we're only halfway thru. Oh wells.

Just another manic monday


Off to school for rehearsal, an hour behind time. :x after which, i'm gonna spend my last monday at work. Relieved and a tad sad, i really like the people there. Wanna get something for them, but i dunno what to get. Hmm. Got a sandwich from daddy to sustain me till 1. Yummy.

Thank God it's Good Friday


It's a nice sunny day today, not too reflective of the supposed sombre mood of Good Friday. Thank you Jesus, for your love and for blessing me with beautiful blue skies. Just had a good lunch at waraku with the family, to celebrate Ariel's birthday. Yum. On my way to school now for rehearsal, the sun does make things better. Have a blessed day!

Stage n screen


Obviously i'm not paying attention in class anymore, i didn't watch the film for tutorial, and nadia n i were positively disturbed by the naked people prancing about in the name of art. zoned out for most parts, then was a bit peeved by munching sounds from a hungry classmate. No hard feelings though. Just. Not very pleasant. On my way to church onw to commune with God, Yay!

RIP


Went to bed early last night in a horridly foul mood and look at what greeted me in the morning. The sisters were probably fooling around and they dropped the cam on its snout and now it can't be switched on or off. What a way to start waterwear wednesday. Anyway. Happy 14th birthday Ariel, i forgive you. Just make sure the camera's fixed by fri. ): i'm on the way to school in a freezing bus and i'm wearing shorts and flip flops. Bloody murphy's law.

In lecture


I am sitting right in front of the lecturer but i think (i'm not sure myself) i'm nodding off to sleep. And this is what happens to my handwriting when i'm semi conscious, good grief i can't even decipher my handwriting, they're full of cancellations. Must. Sleep. Early. Tonight.

Off to see the wizard


I'm running late for school today. :( it's another gloomy gray sky day, and i had tough muffins for breakfast on the bus. Oh well. Better than nothing i'd say. Will have to alight and cab down soon. Sigh!

first ups

This blog will be used for the purposes of dee's travels, be it to school or to a new land, faraway.

Much will be said about bad programming on TV Mobile, horrid bus drivers that make me carsick and other random things that occur in my not too ordinary boring life.

:)

Happy reading!
