i haven blogged in the longest time, and it's not exactly the best and right time to blog now given the amount of studying i still need to do.

but anyhows, i took off my braces exactly a week ago, and today i got my retainers. in short, retainers suck more than braces. i cant talk properly, cant sing properly and it's very much more uncomfortable than braces! i have no space to place my tongue, so when i speak it seems as though i have short tongue and speech problems.

the receptionist couldn't make out what i was saying either. i was super annoyed at myself and her. ugh..

cannot imagine having to brush my retainers and teeth and put them on every single day. it's like dentures! :(

*JACINTH: how are you managing your "dentures"??? it annoys me very much.

Haha I'd definitely NOT stick to my schedule. I intended to study for the whole of today (Sunday) but I woke up late, lazed around, did the laundry, played the piano, watched The Ugly Truth and (500) Days of Summer before starting revision proper. But soon I got distracted by tumblr and I've done nothing much except reading one psych chapter and Shannon's Information Model. Oh dear, at this rate I'd confirm score full marks for my exams

bitch

nothing is original its devastating

" But it got too hard..."

"Well if it isn't hard then everyone would be doing it.
The hard is what makes you a cut above the rest"

FINALLY, my first love!

I have promised myself that the moment, I get him, I will treasure him, love him, take care of him, keep him safe... AND I WILL.


So everyone... meet Jacob!




As those of you who know me would know that I have waited for years for this day to arrive. My first camera!! The wait was terrible but that just made my meeting sweeter. *sigh*.





Oh my Jacob.

one week of studying
one week of exams

be gone 2nd year 1st sem.

sometimes i wonder, what happens after death.
other times i wonder, what if i get into an accident the next day?
or what if one day i go crazy and lose myself?

now, get back to books.

i fell asleep on a webcast. i am awesome.

3 rolls of film taken last December... and which I procrastinated developing til now.

While there were mistakes (like gloved hands coming into the frame ><) here are a few of the happy accidents :) Click for full-sized versions.
Cross-processed; Kodak Elitechrome (blue-r ones), Ektachrome (green/yellow ones)





Someone's handiwork made my day :)

( Japan & Batam )

For a first 3 rolls, I'm quite happy! Just wish film could be less draining on the wallet ):

(P.S. what regular - non-slide - film do you find the best, and which lab's the cheapest for regular, 135mm processing?)

EDIT, 15 NOV: While looking through iPhoto, I realised I missed out a few other pretty ones! Here they are: ( a few more )

Or maybe it's just me and my camera. Most of it came out exposed, alright, but I feel a little let down by the shots.

( +2 )

As always, the rest of the set is here. Enjoy!

Yesterday I was walking from Hall 4 to 14, along the road from Can A to NIE, when these two dudes in tribal costumes -complete with face paint and spears- appeared from the bushes nearby and walked past me with a "What up, Eminem (it was raining and I was wearing Suf's too-big sweater with the hood up)". It was 1245 at night. I am till confused. MLIA

This week has got to be the most emotional week ever. I have never been so much of a wreck than I was this past week. I cannot wait for the holidays.

fuck it la... im just gonna study my ass off... if my gpa drops its meant to be... scared so much also for fuck. bring it on detenber...

and another thing... totally unrelated to the above. i am really pissed. its like promises to me are a game to you... what do you take me for? i dont need this...

what a seriously hectic week this has been. from assignment to project, to a groupmate who in a way "stood us up" in writing his part, to little errors after handing in the assignment, then to a lovely afternoon. the week has been pretty trying. but then when you think about it it's just another 6 or 7 full days to the start of exams. freaaaak.

i'm so tired. can't wait for this semester to be over. (and then the whole cycle repeats itself where you wish hope pray that the next semester will be awesome. but it usually isn't.)

oh, and if you're bored to death, you should watch ferris bueller's day off from way back in 1986. freaking hilarious movie in a quiet kind of way. all those cheeky people who like to fool their teachers should watch it. oh and all those who love matthew broderick's boyish face too.

(fan's blowing at my face, getting increasingly sleepy. but i have to somehow attempt to do this damn tutorial for tomorrow's 2 hour 234 revision tutorial...)
