Busted

Helloooo

Back due to popular demand, as you can see from the overwhelming response in the comments section on my previous post.

Weather lately has been damn good omg. Why can't it be like this all year round? Half-sunny, half-cloudy skies, a light breeze going around the whole day, fewer thunderstorms. I heart you, December.

Yesterday was a good day

Woke up early to gym with SJ, it was fun haha I think the laughing contributed a lot to the workout. I am sooo unfit haha we did 30 sit-ups each and by 28 I was dying alr. And she kept saying 'two more two more' and I just kept saying 'cannot alr cannot alr' hahahaha

Had lunch at Century Sq's Food Junction. Bad decision because SJ found... a baby centipede in her bowl of ramen. o. m. g. I was having the exact same thing.

It was damn gross! It was black and like slightly more than 3cm long. You could see all its little legs. Contact me for pics.

And to think we've been faithful patronizers of the stall for more than two years. Dunno how many thingies we may have unconsciously ingested already... -cries-

After our disastrous lunch we loitered around T1, just like the old days haha

Got ourselves some library books (found both of the books I've been searching for! What a great day indeed) and I got a pretty new phone cover. (Yeah I got another phone!! Promise to take super duper good care of it from now on :'( )

Went home and got hungry so I bought tangyuan beancurd. It's damn shiok to eat that on a cold dayyyy.

Checked CORS this morning and found out I got all my pre-allocated mods!!11

Left with Science of Music to bid for. Mentally prepared to sacrifice 700 points for it :(

Today is also the second last day of 2014, probably one of the best years of my life so far. (Mainly because of the seven months of holiday)

Feeling lazy to do a recap of the year like I usually do

Can't wait for 2015! It's gonna be another exciting year, especially with my first ever summer break!!! Uni life is damn shiok. When we're not having exams or studying for them, that is.

Lunch and Percolate with melons last Friday. Forgot to mention that service was excellent! And I had to hold my hair back cause it couldn't maintain due to the strong wind... ruined an otherwise lovely shot, sorraye

Look at the number of notes... I am not alone in indulging in my weird sense of humour :')

I can't explain how much I love this

"Life is like coffee. Bitter."

(always thought 'fodder' meant material or substance, but I guess not)

Hi friends!

Hope everyone had a great Christmas, though I didn't have much feel for it this year haha which is really sad cause Christmas is my favourite festive season. Others like Chinese New Year are just super awkward.

Just came back from Bangkok yesterday. Food was good; my stomach has definitely expanded.

However, the last day of the trip was ruined by me losing my brand new iphone6 to a pickpocket. It was really really bad. I almost cried. Can only blame it on my carelessness and bad luck. Literally used it for just one week. You always see it on tv and hear about it from your friends' friends' friends, but you never really expect something like that to actually happen to you. And it really sucks, trust me. Heartpain everytime I think about it, so I'm trying not to think too much about it. Definitely learnt my lesson the hard way.

What bugs me most now is the inconvenience of life without a phone. I feel really disconnected from the social world :(

So to my friends reading this, pls contact me through Facebook! And comment on my blog so I don't feel so lonely. Thanks yall!

Sole comfort now is listening to Happy by Ned's Atomic Dustbin (although it only makes me happy for that three minutes and then I get depressed and have to replay it again) and thinking about how fun next year is gonna be.

Might be having a gig or two next year. Eggcited! Next sem is gonna be crazy.

Also got my results on the 23rd. Kind of regret checking once it came out while I was in Bangkok cause my mood was kinda ruined for that morning haha.

southeast asian studies: A-
sociology: B+
german1: B+
econs: B
linguistics: B-

CAP before s/u-ing was 3.80. CAP after s/u-ing linguistics and econs is 4.17. Was quite depressed because B for econs?! It's a bad sign if I have to s/u the intro mod for my major.

Not satisfied with my results :( though the B- for EL was a little expected cause I skipped the first half of lectures.

And what's with the spam of Bs? :( four Bs for promos, four Bs for 'a' levels, now four Bs for my first sem in uni. Why like that.

Sia la... come to think of it, my O levels also four Bs. Okay now it's creepy.

Really hope I don't end up picking the wrong major. Honestly I envy people who know their strengths and weaknesses and who at my age, have figured out what they want to do with their lives. I'm average at everything.

Tend to be better at subjects that require more crapping than content, as seen from SE1101E, which is the most fluffy-ass, bullcrap thing I've ever studied (albeit interesting). The lecturer himself told us during the last week of lectures not to waste too much time on SE1101E, and to go study for other modules instead.

I might've majored in Anthropology if we had it in Singapore. too bad we don't.

So 2014 is drawing to a close. The year really flashed by. I feel like I haven't actually done anything this year haha. Or maybe not.

Melons meetup earlier today! Not bad la, 4 out of 4.5 attendance. Didn't do much but it was still fun :) also last meetup with Jiams for the year before she flies off to Taiwan (hi Jiams). I miss her already. #overlyattachedbff

Buh-bye. Pls feel free to fb msg me for a chat. I'm gonna be online like I never was.

story of my life

PS. the blog title is just smth random I threw to DT when she asked me for a caption for a pic of our coffee and cakes she was gonna post on Insta. And she really used my quote as her caption hahahaha #MyFriendsAreCuterThanYours

Breathe

I haven't blogged in a week! Hahaha. Goes to show how mundane my days have been. 

Waking up at 4.30am tomorrow to catch our flight to Bangkok... ermahgerd!!! Can't wait to eat loads of good food and lepak for the next five days :))

Met up with some of 12s16 today, like nine or ten of us I think. Had lunch at Simei and then my two minions, zq, wh and I went to wq's house to play Kinect and play with his dog Bobbie (can't get over the name HAHA). Had zi char for dinner too. Super tired now haha

MERRY CHRISTMAS IN ADVANCE YALL!! Much love to all of you reading this! Yes, you! Here's a free hug!

Ending off my terribly short post with my new favourite album. It's so chill I just wanna kick back with some kawfee and good vibes all around. 

Goodbyeeee I'm so excited see all of you in five days!!

You keep eternity, give us the radio

Chanced upon some pretty interesting blogs from various NUS students during the search for reliable module reviews over the past few days. The chronicles of a third-year female student majoring in EL, an Indian guy majoring in Lit pondering the validity of 'Indian' as a race, a Life Science nerd with archives dating back to 2006.

Anyway, nothing much has been up recently. I've just been sleeping 10 hours a day, watching a lot more tv and eating a lot more food. Life is gooooood.

I starting playing Neopets again (lol) and I still suck at everything except Typing Terror.

Had dinner with my folks yesterday, then met Wums for supper! Hadn't seen her in more than two weeks :( She had dinner at Mos, then we had salmon sashimi at sushi express. I always feel guilty for eating sashimi but I love it so much. It was so satisfying haha

Gonna find food now BYE

The tour was over, we'd survived

Planning timetables is so exciting. Hahaha. Intending to take 3 econs mods, a GEM (Science of Music) and German 2 next sem. All the GEMs are super expensive though. Really hoping to get Science of Music because it sounds very interesting... ok, and also because it seems slack and it's non-examinable. Huge plus point there.

But from the archives on CORS, average lowest successful bid is like 700 points. I don't even know if I have at least 700 in either of my accounts!

Anyways, the above is my Sem 1 timetable. I think I was really lucky to get a timetable like that. Those who are not morning people would probably die halfway through the term, especially if they don't live in hostels like me and have to travel 1.5h every day to get to school. I almost died myself having to wake up at 5.30am every day.

Plus I'm one of those people who get super hungry in the morning. Didn't help that german lectures and tutorials (which are all my 8am classes) were very quiet, so my stomach was always making these unearthly noises that could be heard by most in my vicinity.

Sadly, I don't think I'll ever be able to get a timetable as nice as that again haha. But the good news is if I get all my preferred slots, I may be able to squeeze classes into three days. Woohoo!

In other news, Eastpoint re-opened again a few days ago. It feels very different from the old mall :( much less homely, though it's a lot more spacious and cleaner-looking. Hope the crowd dies down soon!

So, last Thurs was a tiring day. After drums, I met my band all the way at Yishun to record demos. First time actually recording stuff in a studio! The end product was okay-ish. I liked my bass work, but my backing vocals were... :( Wish I could have redone them! But there wasn't enough time.

Reached home at 1am. Was super shagged.

Met the Amplified band on Friday! It was an impromptu jam; didn't prepare anything at all. But it was funnnn. Played our old songs, played blues, played pop, played upbeat versions of Christmas carols.

I think I'm inspired by our guitarist T... (hope none of them happen to read my blog) Most guitarists I've met are super technical, and for a lack of a better word, anal people, but I've never come across a guitarist that plays with soul. I can actually hear it in his playing! It makes all the difference. I'm enlightened.

He's also super talented and has perfect hearing. So jelly!!!

But ya. I think more musicians should try to have fun and not be too focused on the technical aspect of playing. Maybe you think that if you're technical, you'll achieve better musicality, but sometimes when you go with the vibe and just follow a feeling, musicality comes naturally.

Haha okay, enough with the serious talk.

So we also switched our instruments for fun. Me being me, I picked up T's guitar and blurted my first thought, "It's so short!" (and then winced internally at my thoughtlessness)

It's probably funny, but it felt weird holding an electric guitar. The neck is shorter than that of a bass guitar, and also feels stumpier because of the extra two strings. It was also more difficult to play than I'd imagined because the strings are much thinner and closer together.

Level of respect for electric guitarists just went up a little.

Maybe I'll pick up electric guitar someday. It seems fun

Went out for a drink on Sat night, at Redhouse. It was supposed to be six of us but in the end it was just me, SJ, Jinx and Linus. Nothing much lah haha since the noisy ones weren't there.

Spent Sunday at home. Home-cooked lap cheong fried rice and hot green tea... yummm.

Met Lianne and Tania today! Finally went somewhere other than Tampines hahaha. We tried Stateland Cafe at Bali Lane, which is right next to Haji Lane. Pasta was decent, although nothing to rave about. Tania's "laksa" poached egg toast with hollandaise sauce was quite good though.

Went to Wonderland Cafe after that. They got a matcha latte and we shared a slice of Rosemary cake and a slice of Dark Chocolate Coffee cake.
Lianne: "The dark chocolate coffee cake tastes like the Kopi sweet." LOL quite true though

Walked around a bit then came home. Town is getting boring man. I think we should just stick to Tampines and Tania's house from now on. HAHA. I seriously think we're getting old

Came home to leftover fried rice (still yummz)

Ok abrupt end bye

Potato salad

My first love

Found this on my table haha

Would love to dress like this every day. So damn comfy omg. #takingslobtothenextlevel

Excuse my shorts

Would you pay $119 for a melon? #melonmadness

My talented friends. WHY

When you tell your friends to 'look ugly' then you realize you were the only one who tried...

I love all the candid shots haha

Attempted to fry rösti for lunch for my mum and I yesterday. Wasn't very successful haha ohwellz

BYE

Happy

New favourite song! Found this when I was searching for bands with two bass players. So much good vibes. Lovelovelove omg I feel so happy just listening to this right now. Most apt song title ever

Remember when you used to be a rascal?

I think I've developed an aversion towards peppermint tea after I had to drink it when I puked. Haha. Caught a whiff of it just now and my stomach did a little take. Funny what the brain does.

It's been less than a week since finals ended and life has never been better! It's like the A level break all over again cause unlike the primary and secondary school days, the holidays now are actually real holidays and we don't have homework or assignments to chiong. YAYYY.

Woke up early last Saturday morning and lamented to my mum that I had nothing to do. Then she said, "Wanna go to Parkway with me? We can visit your cousin then meet your dad for dinner." And I was like whoa cause she just settled the day's plans for me. Haha.

It was nice, awkward time as usual. I've always felt like the oddball in my extended family, so everyone thinks I'm the good kid that doesn't talk much, but truth is I just have nothing to say haha

Met up with Lumster and SJ on Sunday at tampines to do our Christmas cards. They both put a crazy amount of effort into their cards!! Spoil market sia.

Spent Monday nua-ing at home. Watched '3 Idiots' which is a super good movie! I just watched it again last night. Everyone I know who has watched it loves the movie.

Met Lumster on tuesday to have lunch at Working Title (again). K lah, I've come to a conclusion: the food is average at best, but what keeps me going back is the coffee and the chill ambience. In a lot of cafes like maybe Department of Caffeine, everyone seems super busy (probably because it's situated at Tanjong Pagar road, the 'office area') and you feel like getting out of there asap when you're done with your food.

But at WT it's like... I can lepak there the whole afternoon. Anyway, the food is still reasonably priced and the tater tots are quite good. Sinful, but good.

SJ ended school early and came to find us, and after camwhoring a bit at Haji Lane (took a lot of hilarious pictures HAHA) we headed to tampines to watch Interstellar! It was a damn good movie! Really mind-blowing. After that we had prata while discussing the movie and random scientific theories hahaha

Met Carmen on Wednesday to check out the new Eastpoint mall and have lunch. The new layout seems really confusing. Or maybe I'm just not used to it yet. Not many shops on the ground and upper floors are open yet too. Can't wait for the rest! The inhabitants of Simei have been deprived of food variety for far too long.

Then she came over and we watched Running Man and nua-ed and Photobooth-ed. Running Man is actually quite funny haha.

Today and tomorrow are gunna be music-ky days. There's drums later, then I'm meeting the band tonight and meeting the Amplified band tomorrow. Yayzza!!

Ok bye

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire

Can't listen to these beautiful songs without getting into a Christmas mood :)











Always wondered why the singers in Band Aid looked so sullen... then I realized they were British and not American like I thought... hahahaha

And a message coming from my eyes says leave it alone

My favourite thing to do during jams is to play the Seven Nation Army bassline until everyone else joins in... yep, definitely the annoying distracting bandmate. Haha #randomthoughts

Neeways, FINALS ARE OVAAAAA.

I have waited for this day for soooo long. And again I will say this...

I can't believe I'm finally officially done with the first semester!!! It really just flew by me.

Lemme be lame (like I am all the time) and do a little recap!

Managed to get a spot for the FASS orientation camp, but decided not to go in the end. I feel sorry for all the people who will never get to know me :( sorry yall :(

Week one: overly excited for school (naturally) with my dearest Kee Lianne (yes yes don't worry I know that's not your real name). We stuck together like glue when we could (I think we still do actually) and I felt really tiny and lost whenever I had to go around school on my own, especially when tutorials started in the third week. NUS also turned out to look a little less pretty/atas than I initially thought it would, but I guess now I'm used to it.

Was also initially wow-ed by the seemingly wide array of food choices in NUS, but now it's like... "Sian... where you wanna eat?" "The Deck ah?" "Okay lor. Sian."

Tried out for Amplified in the second or third week, I can't remember. It was nerve-wracking, especially cause I had to audition with another bass player who was damn good in my opinion but for some reason he didn't get in in the end. Plus I made friends with him before that so I could borrow his really expensive-looking bass guitar cause I was too lazy to bring my own. #guilty

Got the good news that I got in around the third or fourth weeek, hurrah!! I was really really happy and being in Amplified was a great experience cause I got to meet many wonderful musicians.

Weeks 5 to 9, for me, was when the crazy stuff really kicked in. Projects and assignments, cca practice for the gig, and preparation for midterms. Had a few 12-hour school days. I would be soo tired by the end of the week. 10 to 13, which was after the gig, midterms and most of the assignment deadlines had passed, were a whole lot better.

Also very thankful for Kee Lianne because I realize I would really be all alone in school without her. It's been a good time studying with you, going around school and laughing at non-funny things with you :)))

Don't worry we love you too Tania!!! You are in our minds and hearts!

So yesh, that was Year 1 Sem 1 in a nutshell. I feel so accomplished haha

Had EL final today, it was do-able --> bell curve will be steep --> but should be still okay enough for me to get a C and S/U the mod

I quite enjoyed myself during the final actually HAHA. Mainly cause it was the last paper + I knew two hours would be more than enough time for 60 MCQs so I took my time perusing the questions. Whoever set the paper has quite a sense of humour; I had to suppress a smile at the Harry Potter-felicity conditions question.

Most people finished the paper by 10 and some were already leaving though official stop time was 11. I sat there a little while more to think about where to go for lunch haha.

Went to Working Title again. Really had to drag myself there because I was tired and felt like going home but I knew that if I went home I'd just drink tea and spend the afternoon on the Internet, which is something I foresee myself doing a lot for the next five weeks, so, nope.

Got the Eggs & Toast, it was kinda meh-ish. I liked the mushrooms cooked in truffle oil but the smoked salmon was really a downer for me- is smoked salmon supposed to taste that salty?? And it didn't taste fresh at all... or idk, maybe that's what smoked salmon's supposed to taste like? (I'm not being sarcastic here, I really don't know)

But the coffee was wonderful as always. It was heavenly. Not even exaggerating; I think I'm in love with it.

Went to visit my grandma after that and had a good chat with my cousin too. He's like the little brother I never had :( I used to cheat at games and make him cry all the time when we were kids and now he's enlisting next month... Noooo I'm getting old

So anywayz, I know blog quizzes are totally secondary school... but I'm too punk rock to care.

Finally done omg that took forever

Down Baby

Can't understand a single thing he's saying other than "down baby," but hey, great song! Luv it.

I am officially bored for the first time in a long while. It's such a shiok feeling. Can't wait to get some books from the library and print out drum scores.

Woke up early yesterday, had breakfast, made potato salad for lunch while playing my Foster the People and My Chemical Romance albums, made tea, ate junk food, went down to the studio, came back up and wasted my life away on the Internet, had dinner with my folks, studied for EL while listening to Tigers Jaw.

So naturally I'm a little bored today. Woke up at 8.30am and now the day feels really long. Tried watching Trainspotting before drums just now but I couldn't get past the thick Scottish accents, so I re-watched The Kings of Summer instead. Great, great movie, wonderfully quotable, very charming cast. Nick Robinson is so dorky I love it. I love him. Did I mention we're the same age?

Ok better stop here bye

Tell me everything is how it should be

And I can barely tell the sky from the shoreline
And I can see myself reflected in your eyes
And this was all a dream
And it's coming back to me
A portrait in grey scale
A perfect betrayal
And I can't even breathe
With this weighing on my chest
You knew me at my best
Now I can't even stand on my own


TIGERS JAWWW I love you so much

I'M DONE WITH EC1101E, SC1101E AND SE1101E. HOLY SHITTT. ERMAHGERD.

I still, still can't believe it's over! Finals were emotionally taxing but definitely not as taxing as A levels. I'm so glad to be done with all the major mods. So, so glad. Looking forward to the break!!! Totally in the holiday mood already although I haven't started studying at all for my last paper, EL1101E.

Didn't manage to finish the econs paper :((( Managed to finish my essays but barely- I finished my last SE essay at 18.59. -wipes perspiration- Praying that the bell curve will be kind!! :(

Received an angpow from one of my relatives just now and my first thought was, OMG yes more money for drums!! Haha. #truededication

I really love learning drums. I've been listening to Saosin and their drummer is absolutely nuts! Can't wait to learn more.

Okay I should probably go sleep. Can't believe I survived today man.

Looking forward to spending the next two days nua-ing at home hehe (albeit with my EL notes...)

Youth is wasted on the young

Soo I had to learn Lost Stars by Adam Levine on drums, and my teacher told me it was written for a romance movie called Begin Again. He loves the song and when I first heard it I thought it was kinda meh. Like he's so talented he can play whatever he wants, but he opts for a love ballad instead.

But anyways I went online and found the movie today, and I fell in love with the song tooooo. It's so simple yet it's effective and it's just... great. I don't listen to Maroon 5/Adam Levine at all but Lost Stars is a really, really good song.

I loved the movie too!! Simply adored the entire cast. The story unfolded extremely well- it was heartfelt without feigned sensitivity; it was funny without overdoing it or watering the plot down. The streets looked gorgeous and Gretta James' wardrobe crew all deserve a huge raise. I need all of her outfits omg. I've also gained a newfound appreciation for Keira Knightley's acting. And Mark Ruffalo is kind of hot in a weird way.

Okay bye I think I've procrastinated enough

Edit:

Super random but I was listening to my music library and I think this is one of my favourite recordings ever from jamming... everything is at the right volume and we're all complementing one another, and so many feeeeels. Hahaha. It just feels and sounds right. What an honour to have gotten to know this talented bunch :') Especially love Thaddeus' playing in this haha. Dat guitar tone!!

Here it is

(oops just realized it can't be posted oh well haha)

Okay bye FORREALZ dammit life y u give me so many distractions

Paper Wings

What a beautiful cover! The girl has such a lovely tone to her voice, how lucky. I'd kill for a tone like that! With a trained ear and proper voice control, I'd be able to do a lot more than play instruments (not that I don't already love playing instruments). And I loooove the backup vocals!! But I can't find any stuff from the guy elsewhere. Oh wellz.

Reading Week is almost over omg. What did I even do this week?!

I have to admit that content-wise, the uni workload is a lot lighter than JC (or it may just be because I'm in Arts Fac hehe) (nearly died during JC) but that still doesn't mean I don't have studying to do.

Gym today was gooood (oh DT joined us in our unproductive studying sesh today yay); I'm starting to feel the body aches already. Can't wait for more gymming! Haha (oh no, hope I don't turn into one of those gym addict types) (I don't think I will)

Three more dayssss

Oh flow, where did you go?

Weather today is too good to be stuck at home studying Socio :( It's such a gross subject. Don't know how I ever wanted to major in it. (Just kidding I'm just bitter because I don't do well in it)

In a good mood because teacher was in a good mood for drums today so everyone caught the contagious good mood yay free good moods all around here you go one for you

Just now during the lesson he suddenly asked if I watch movies, and I said no I just watch them at home online and he asked, "So you don't like, go to the cinema to watch movies?"

And a thought occurred to me, and I was like oh crap don't tell me this is going where I think it's headed...

But in the end he just wanted to tell me about how Interstellar was an awesome movie and that he watched it twice because it was so good so I should go watch it too because Christopher Nolan's movies are great.

I was like ohhh okay HAHAHAHA I'm still laughing when I think about it now HAHAHAHA sorry self-esteem too high already -wipes tear- It's damn funny I cannot

Another funny thing was when I was learning the rimshot (?) and I couldn't stop the nerd in me from asking about the position of the stick, "So like, across the diameter?" And he LOLed and said "What diameter? Just like that la"

Ha ha sigh my life

FIVE MORE DAYS TILL I'M DONE WITH 3 OF MY 4 FINALS. Can I get a hel- to the -yer?

My to-do list is overflowing. The opportunity cost of going out, ketching up with friends, and having a life is my precious alone time and the time I wanna use to practice more bass and drums... how?

Trade-offs, trade-offs.

Do they make you happy?

I have no idea how many times I've posted this album, but I just can't get over it. It's that one album you can't decide if you want to keep all to yourself or share with the rest of the world. It's that beautiful.

I've tried listening to other albums that are supposedly from the same genre as this, but nothing really works for me, not even Tigers Jaw's other albums. At least not Charmer, which was released this year. Charmer sounds like something you would play in the background while you're off doing something else. It's a good album, but I'm not feeling it, maybe not yet.

But this. This is just pure awesomeness, one home-hitting track after the other. It does things to my soul

Dance with me

I keep thinking that's there school tomorrow, it's so weird :/ 

12 more days to the break!! -dances around- 

Hurts to type now because I was arranging an old-new song. Old because I penned it sometime back and new because I finally sat down and took the time to polish it up. Happy to say that I finally did a happy song for the first time in ages. Satisfied with the vibe but not too pleased with the lyrics. Maybe I'll go back and make some changes. 

Thought it would be a good idea to write in C# major, but clearly my fingers didn't agree... #ouch

Anyways, Reading Week has commenced! Goals for this week: Get enough rest, stop skipping meals and hit the books. The most annoying thing is socio: can't decide if I'm doing badly enough to be sure that I'll have to S/U it in the end, if you know what I mean. So I don't know whether I should 'give up' on it. 

Mega tired today so I'm gonna turn in. Studied with Jiams yesterday from morning till 4.30pm, then we went to gym and then I rushed home to shower before going for band meet. Ended late and I reached home at 12am and slept at 1, which is totally not my thing. Sucks to be a morning person when everyone else around you is not haha. 

Good night

Last week with Wums
