I really really wanna get a job. Bored to death these days. Applied for a few jobs already and only one place responded :( went for the interview today with wums, hope they hire me! If not we'll be back to square one.

I'll be posting pictures from Morocco. This is Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3, according to the tour itinerary. Flew from Changi Airport to Dubai Airport to Mohamed V Airport at Casablanca, Morocco. Day 3 was a rest day for us to get adjusted to the 8-hour time difference. Spent the night in Casablanca, and in the afternoon we drove to the city Rabat.

The Dubai Airport is really quite nice, I think it's one of the top airports in the world. But it's humongous and on the way back when we were all weary and rushing for our last flight it proved quite exhausting running around the airport.

Cause I've been retracing the steps that we took

1. Back from Morocco!!!!! It was... -flips dictionary for a good word- -can't find any- erm really really good?? Would've added another 'really' if not for the food there. Atrocious. But yup the trip was awesome. Feeling a little nostalgic for it :( the day after i came home, I started researching on trips to places like South Africa and East Africa LOL really wanna see more of the continent! Will blog more about Morocco next post. 

2. Currently at starbucks. I always decide to give their drinks + CBTL's drinks "just one more try" but they always end up disappointing me "just one more time" so. Last drink! 😡 I don't know why these coffee chains are so popular. There's a hundred and one neighbourhood cafes with much better coffee and tea than them. 

3. Got new earphones. I wish they still sold the Panasonic ones, they were sooooo good. The bass was crazy, even with the right ear spoilt the left was still enough to make me feel like I'm in paradise when I listen to Give It Lift Off. So I bought Phillips again, packaging said "Dynamic bass" and "extra bass sound" but it's still quite shit compared to my old Panasonic ones. Maybe I should've tried Sony instead. 

4. I got Tumblr finally! My friends who have Tumblr have been telling me to get it. And I was so not disappointed omg it is a haven for me. I followed 37 random users like I literally just searched "bands" and followed the first 37 who popped up and all the gifs and cool stuff and quotes and amazing pictures omg. I cannot. 

5. I am so very excited for Mayday Parade coming next year AHHHHHH 

My Understandings

I don't mind it
I don't mind it if you're overrated
Or if you're staring at the edge of the world
But keep in mind that I'm a sore eye with blurry vision
But I can see it has to be your love that I've been dreaming of
And if we climb this high, I swear we'll never die
I'll never die


Gonna shower soon then head off with my mom for the airport! So stoked!!

I am gonna miss Singapore food. And my very lovely friends :'( Downloaded a bunch of songs just now. I now have 631 songs in my phone to keep me company on the plane and on the bus. Starting to get into Of Mice & Men. I can't get enough of Shayley and Austin's voices together, two of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard gosh why did you have to leave OM&M, Shayley? :(

This is my last post for the next 13 days. I don't have much to say actually haha.

Ok bye! Wish me a safe trip

Pictures from the 28th! 

Department of Caffeine

The Marshmallow Tree

Strangers' Reunion

Sentosa

I'll burn your name into my throat, I'll be the fire that'll catch you

Listening to Caraphernelia acoustic. Again. It's so perfect. Ugh

Feeling bored for the first time in a very, very long while. I just knew I'd miss studying. Haha. I miss classes and learning new stuff though of course I don't miss the exams part. Hated exams. (who doesn't?)

Went to Bryan's house yesterday with Shijia and Jiachen and it was pretty fail we only spent the last 10min doing covers haha but it was still fun we played stacko and I was grand champ -peace sign- ok I actually narrowly avoided losing but still.

I feel like deleting Facebook, I don't really use it anymore and I would've deleted it long ago if not for the pictures but the happy pictures make me sad when I think of how I can't ever go back to those times so well. I don't know. Life's good without Twitter, though. Don't regret deleting that

Also bought two new albums yesterday, I kind of regret it just a little because I realise the Linkin Park album, Recharged, is actually just remixes of other artistes' work. And I'm definitely not a fan of electronic stuff. Like I don't hate it but I don't particularly like it either.

Haven't really listened to the other one though. It's Appeal To Reason by Rise Against. Hopefully I'll like it. There's Hero of War and Savior in it so it can't be that bad, right?

Nothing much else to blog about. I watched The Family online just now. It's good! Michelle Pfeiffer's acting definitely stood out for me.

Flying off to Morocco tomorrow! Won't be back until the 15th, so I won't be blogging till then. They don't have wi-fi in a lot of places there anyway.

Heh heh I can't wait! First ever trip to Africa

Cafes

Went out with Melons on the 28th to cafe-hunt! It's so weird to think that I've been anticipating that day since forever and now it's over. As are overr!!! Haha

We first went to Department of Caffeine at Tanjong Pagar, then The Marshmallow Tree at Telok Blangah, then Strangers' Reunion which was kind of near The Marshmallow Tree (Google says it's situated at Kampong Bahru road).

We got a sticky date pudding, waffle with strawberry ripple ice-cream, jasmine tea and a warm cafe latte at D.O.C, then some strawberry sponge cake thingy, meringue cake, some chocolate-coffee cake thing and an earl grey tea latte at Marshmallow Tree. At our last stop we had a yogurt pudding with granola, iced mocha and something called magic coffee, it was the first thing on the menu so I guess it's their specialty.

I think my favourite was D.O.C (yay cause I picked it) because the food there was good and they weren't stingy with the portions. It was a little crowded though, and we kind of got funny looks because everyone else there were mostly adults in their working clothes from the nearby shops and offices. Also wanna try the other drinks there sometime.

The Marshmallow Tree's food was okay-ish but they had a very nice ambience. Strangers' Reunion was my least favourite haha the pudding wasn't fantastic and the Magic Coffee just tasted like black coffee. But the mocha was decent.

Then we headed to Sentosa! Had overpriced chicken rice for dinner and went to Candylicious, then got ice-cream. We talked about 1F'08 ah how I miss those times. Easily one of the best years of my life. #nostalgia

On our way to the beach we saw the Luge and decided to give it a shot. Omg the ride up was terrifying to me. I never knew I was scared of heights haha. Well that adds to the list.

Et and I were holding hands tightly the whole ride. The Luge ride down was fun!! Would've been more fun if I wasn't wearing a white dress though haha (It was melons' gift to me and they said I had to wear it on the 28th)

At the beach we had a h2ht. And we saw fireworks! Pretty, but a waste of money, especially if it's true that they have fireworks every night at sentosa!

Dt's parents fetched her from vivo, and the rest of us were on our way home when Jiams and Yy noticed some banglas looking creepily at us, and they were actually smiling. I made eye contact with one of them and he just stared right at me smiling, didn't even look away! Even worse, they were taking pictures of us. Not just one or two, but a lot.

We alighted at the next stop (thank God they didn't try to follow us) and took the next train. I was a little scared then because I've never experienced something like that and ended up deciding to crash at Jiams' house haha. Anyway my fear was valid because I would've been the last one to alight from the train.

So girls be safe! If you know you're going home late make sure to dress ugly.

Ok bye

They're gonna file me under latest nostalgia

Oops it's laterally inverted but well, it's just a little thing I pasted on my bookshelf a long time back and when I first put it up it said "To start: 72 days. To end: 91 days." And now it says "To start: - days. To end: 1 days." I can't stop marveling at how fast time flew. Feels like just yesterday when I put it up. 

POST-AS.

1. Go to cafes to read books (instead of mug for once) 

2. Spend a day wasting my life away on youtube

3. Have tea while listening to all my albums

4. Go jamming 

5. MAYDAY FREAKING PARADE CONCERT OMFG.

6. Brush up on my guitar and bass, start playing piano again, learn drums

7. Travel to the west

Wums and I also made up a short list today that includes running to ECP, going to sentosa to lepak, cycling at Ubin etc. 

Today was my last day of going out to mug and it feels so weird but... a good kind of weird. 

Also, I was looking through my notes and like, wow, I don't need these anymore. But I couldn't bear to throw them in the recyling bag. All the chem notes I spent hours pondering over and that were so, so, so very important to me before, and all the econs notes furiously written during econs tutorials, and math, my favourite subject... how can I throw all of you away just like that? HAHA it sounds so weird but it's true. Emotionally attached to all these papers. 

I don't really have definite plans for tomorrow after school, actually. I'm just looking forward to going home after I'm done doing whatever's the conventional definition of fun tomorrow after the paper and watching tv with a cup of milo in hand. 

Buh-bye! Last paper!!! 

But who's to tell us?

Stare at the stars

Slowly inhale

Lies brought on

The past tense is now

Can you feel it?

Exhale with the thought of letting go of rivalry

Soon it will be pure again

So collapse your eyes

Collide those lips with mine

Let your feet leave the earth

And float away 

No idea what the lyrics are about but the song makes me think of warmth in wintertime, dreams and large empty fields with overgrown weeds that have a peaceful touch to them. 

Eighteen months have passed / Dead flowers grow from my chest

HELLOOOOOO NIHAO KONICHIWA (racking my brains for more greetings but actually I think that's all I have well so much for being a globalized citizen)

Listening to Machines Are Taking Over, the full album by Covette. Again. I ship this album so hard. How can anything be this perfect? Shayley Bourget's beautiful vocals, both clean and unclean, and the heaviness of the bass, and the drums played so perfectly and the quiet guitar licks in the background. Post-hardcore at its finest. Love it

Left with just Physics Paper 1! They seriously weren't kidding when they said A levels would pass really fast. Can't believe it's just less than 2 days to freedom. 45 hours to freedom, to be exact. It's so scary. I used to hate routines and love uncertainty but I think I'm growing old because now that the future is so uncertain I don't like it.

What do I want to do with my life? What? Wish I had an answer.

But I'm really excited when I think of what's to come in the next 8 months. Flying off to Morocco in just 8 days! Omg it's my first time stepping foot in Africa, I'm so stoked!! Finally going somewhere out of my continent! (other than aussie) Then it'll be nearly Christmas by the time I come back, and I have six or seven months to waste away hehehehehe

I think I entered my holiday mood after the Econs paper last thursday. I screwed up my paper 1 on monday really, really bad, like I was really writing rubbish and the feeling of knowing you're just sitting there screwing up an A level paper is just so awful. It was definitely the worst paper for me. So I got really stressed and pia-ed the next few days. Was totally banking on Globalisation and trade and they came out on macro goals and policies -__- Well of course I'm glad they weren't super tough questions but still. Makes me feel like all those life-draining brain-numbing 3-hour extra consultations we had were in vain. Oh well. Just glad it's all over. Studying econs was a nightmare. Haha

Went to town with L and T after that, and it was a really tiring but fun time. I don't remember what I did on Friday. I think I stayed home. Then I went to town again on Saturday with Jiams to mug, and to town again again with Lianne on Sunday.

Today's chem paper 1 was thankfully do-able. Managed to finish everything omg first time!!

Hope the paper 1 on wednesday has mercy on me so I won't get too ugly a grade for physics.

Bye!!! (I feel like the only person who's really enthusiastic for the end of As. Everyone else around me seems to be just like meh)

SUP PEANUTS OMG THIS IS IT GUYS 20 DAYS TO FREEDOMMMM (SINGS FREEDOM BY GEORGE MICHAEL)

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYBODY TAKING AS! I CANNOT WAIT FOR ANOTHER 3 WEEKS
