How do you own disorder
I was coincidentally wearing my ASD shirt on Wednesday otw to school when I read on Cory LaQuay's instagram that he and Brian White had decided to call it quits with the band :(
I guess I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, I'm not a fan of the newer albums so I guess it's good that Cory and Brian are going to do their own stuff; maybe they'll come up with material I'll be interested in. Plus, Cory and Brian are my favourites in the band (I don't usually pick favourites cause I believe everyone in the band is important but Cory's drumming and Brian's screaming... too much for my rationality to bear)
But on the other hand, it's always sad to see one of your favourite bands part ways. ASD got me through some tough times and though I can't say for sure I didn't see this coming, it's still upsetting... like another piece of my childhood just dissipated.
Listening to 'The Cali Buds' now and it's so sad cause the song is about their friendship and the MV is just a typical band video of them on tours and performing but it's still evoking the feels :'(
Well, on to some merrier stuff (kinda)
The past week has been a kind week. Gig's over and all the midterms and major assignments are done so I can finally take a breather. Also met up with my band on thursday and the new drummer is great, but Esplanade's Silent Studio sucks haha or maybe I'm just not used to it
Other than that, nothing much has been happening. Friends are going clubbing tonight and I'm proud of myself for not going. Not really in the mood anyway haha I was sooo tired yesterday night I just gave up on homework and went to sleep.
I have 55 pages of SE readings and 42 pages of SC readings to do this week. No pictures some more, just pure text. Good luck to me!

The quiet things that no one ever knows
Ok gonna rush this post cause I'm meeting Jiams for supper/dessert later
So the gig was on Saturday!
I had a lot of fun :) I always do, performing. It's a rush that beats any other kind. That moment when you're on a stage doing what you love with your fellow musicians, it really feels like home. I also feel super blessed to have met many talented musicians over the years since I've started playing music despite my own mediocrity.
After the gig we had an enjoyable dinner together before we parted ways. I think there was a kinda mutual understanding that this was it, you know... after the gig there would be no more crazy 4-hour Tuesday night jamming sessions or late night pizza, and we would rarely have the opportunity to meet up as a unit again. Isaac gave us sweets and a handwritten note each (aww) and HK said, "We can always go for coffee," but really, with the busy conflicting schedules and all these new events and people constantly popping up in our lives, who actually has the time?
I guess this is the part where my bad habit of over-analyzing and over-thinking everything comes in haha I know some people can move on easily but I can't- I like to always have the same bunch of friends sticking around and I get really sad when people come in and go out of my life, even if we're not close.
When I was younger I used to think I was a bit of a misanthrope but now I realize I just get attached to people too easily, so when they don't reciprocate I try to tell myself I never really liked them in the first place.
First band in Amplified... hopefully not the last eh? Haha
Had a lot of fun working with these people, even if our genres didn't mix.
Jiams and DT (I love you two), and SJ and the JC classmates (I think it's weird how we got closer after JC)
The day after the gig my mom took out the old photo album and showed me this pic of my dad (rightmost guy) playing bass at NUS in 1981, also in his freshman year LOL. #runsinthefamily
Check out dem bell-bottomed jeans tho. Wish I grew up in the 70s too, it looks like it would've been fun. Or maybe not, since the baby boomers had it the hardest when their generation came out to work.
Also regret sending my mom the videos of me performing. She went around showing them to everyone- my cousins, uncles and aunts, even the teachers in the staffroom (also my former colleagues)... #moms
No link to the post at all. I just find this really funny
Dun dun dun dun bass slide dun dun dun dun one bar of silence dun dun dun dun
The day we first met haha excuse my awkwardness
Ok bye
Edit (22/10 2.20pm): Just bumped into one of the bandmates on my way out of school. Both our reactions: "EH HI" -hesitation over whether to stop and exchange small talk or move on- -moves on- All happened within the span of two seconds
#firstsignsofbeinghi-byefriends
#sighpie
Low fuel light's been on for days
This song just makes me so upset about how it's my last year being a teenager and while on one hand I think all in all I spent my teenage years well, on the other hand I think about how I'll never get to cruise down an interstate highway in a beat-up pickup with Brand New or the Offspring on the stereo... (clearly I've been watching too many old-school movies)
And then I found this in the comments section:
"Not gonna lie. I actually am jealous of teenagers now that I have turned 20. Growing up is scary and I am always afraid of where I am going to end up in this world. Will I be a good man? Will I be a loving father? WIll I actually get a good job? Will I actually have a family? I honestly just want to stay young forever and have summer romances and sleepovers with friends on the weekends. You don't realize how scary the world is and how afraid you truly are about growing up till everything you are familiar with just ends and you move out and move on with life. It's some really deep shit and it keeps me up at night sometimes. To any young people reading this ENJOY BEING YOUNG. Those people you might hate at school, those bullies, wondering how you can fit in well fuck all that none of it really matters and you will find that out as you get older. Enjoy being young and embrace it because your life is about to change. When the time does come for you to grow old and if you find yourself afraid like me don't feel alone cause there are others out there like you, and like me. I know I can push on, we can push on, but it is still scary."

Landed in a very common crisis
9.10pm: Listening to the Arctic Monkeys while doing Linguistics, cool night breeze coming in through the open window... life is good.
(Oops wanted to blog last night but was too tired)
(Oops wanted to blog last night but was too tired)
On my way to school now to hand in the damn SEA essay. Managed to crap 1500 words, minimum length is 1800 so 300 more to go. Gonna finish it up when I get there (just caught the guy next to me peeking at my phone... awkward)
Also gonna meet some of the Amplified band to practice if time permits. Which brings me to my next point...
GIG IS TOMORROW WOOHOO WHEE LALALA
The event is called Ad Libitum, go Facebook it! It's from 3-7pm at NUS Yusof Ishak House (opposite University Health Centre, you can just ask any student for directions) and my band's playing at 5.30. We're called 3 GUYS 2 GIRLS (inside joke) and come on down if you like pop rock!
I'm totally stoked!!! Every gig feels like the first plus this is kind of my biggest gig so far so ya HAHAHA YAYYY
...just hope I don't drop the bass...
(Pls laugh. It is common courtesy to laugh.)
Also very hungry now :( It's 4.35pm and I've only had a sandwich and a cup of tea the whole day.
Ok byee
Edit: took blardy forever to finish the essay. Only on my way home now, still haven't eaten anything else except a hot dog bun I fortunately had the good sense to buy before going to school.
Can't wait to catch some zzz and wake up to an awesome day tomorrow ermahgerd I can just feel the awesomeness already
Well I need to do my German homework first but ermahgerd
Also made friends with a drummer from Amplified who says he's starting a band and asked me to join, double ermahgerd
It's one thing to meet people who like the same music and another to meet people who remember you because of your taste in music ("Were you the bassist at the tea session that said you listen to pop punk?")
Ermahgerd yes I was
Ok I'll stop being annoying now
Edit #2: someone barfed in the train and it smelt like shit omg wtf did he eat I think I'm gonna move to another carriage

Paper bags and plastic hearts
Hello!!!
It's the end of yet another tiring week haha
Got back more grades which were less than satisfactory but oh wellz
Went for my Socio make-up tutorial on Tuesday, which was surprisingly very engaging + I made a new friend! I actually enjoyed the discussion part haha and I later realized that that was the tutorial group I balloted for in the first place but didn't manage to get :'( #life
First favourite part of the week was Tuesday night when we ended jamming early and I was zi-highing so I had time to leisurely walk back to CAP in a good mood, and UTown looked so pretty at night. I loved the ambience (HAHA sounds like I went on a solo romantic date but I can't think of a better word)
Then no more good mood on Wednesday because there was Econs midterm in the evening that I hadn't started studying at all for. Had to chiong-mug before the paper
And I wasn't nervous at all until Lianne and I got to MPSH and the crowd was like... omg. The sight of everyone milling around outside the hall waiting for the doors to open totally reminded me of O levels and A levels and it got my heart racing hahaha
Got home around 9pm to a small pot of fried rice my fam left for me, aww. Though it was leftovers from Sunday and cold by the time I got home, it was still delicious :)
Second favourite part of the week was Thursday! Only had german lecture from 8-9.30am. Hardest part was waking up. I was contemplating skipping it but still dragged myself out of bed anyway.
By 12pm that day I had had my breakfast, travelled to NUS, attended the lecture, travelled back and had my lunch.
Had drums as usual and I was relieved that my teacher didn't scold or chastise me when I told him before lesson that I didn't practice the whole week haha.
Also learnt a new drum beat (is that what you call it) and was practicing it when I stopped and he had this look of pride on his face and told me again that I was one of the fastest students he'd had so far... it made my entire week. (I give up on trying to figure out how to phrase this without sounding like I'm bragging but ya I was just really happy)
Anyway it's almost 2am! Can't believe the day just flew past like that. Didn't even manage to get much work done cause I was distracted by a Breakin' Benjamin song.
Also somehow managed to add more to my ever-heavy workload by agreeing to try for this thingy with my band, so we're gunna meet and start jamming again somewhere in Week 10.
Hopefully I can manage to cram in practice time.
But I'm really looking forward to meeting them again. Miss playing rock music.
I remember when we were setting up one time in May I think when our then-drummer commented that the bass was too soft so I stood next to the amp and turned it up a bit and he just kept saying, "Louder... louder some more... louder... a bit more..." until it was like each note reverberated soundly around the room, but it was awesome haha
Ok really need to sleep bye

I need medicine to quiet and survive it
On an island out in the sea
I wouldn't care what they think of me
But in this crowded room I believe
That I'm seconds from insanity
Cause their eyes just rip me all apart
And my temperamental mind decides that I'm the enemy
Welcome to oblivion
Where panic starts to settle in
Welcome to oblivion
Oh oh, I think I'm losing it
Breakfast with Wums at Holland V the other day before going to DT's match at SIM. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of the place or the prices haha. Anyway the food was decent but not memorable.
Had dinner with Wums Friday night at a Bedok Reservoir road coffee shop after our run.Was looking forward to introducing her to my favourite pork rib noodle but the stall was closed :'(
We walked back to Kem which was surprisingly not that far away, and we saw a lot of fruit bats at the canal, ermahgerd. I've seen bats but not that many at one time. It was pretty scary, at least to me.
Yeah I know my story has no link to the selfie
Lunch on Saturday with Wums and DT at Working Title! The coffee is as good as evaaaa.
It was my belated birthday lunch haha. ET came later and Yiying couldn't make it :( But it was good finally meeting up again, especially with DT since I see Wumsy quite a lot and I meet ET every tuesday.
#melons4life
Had to run off early to meet my fam for dinner at i12 Katong. SUSHI TEI (insert biologically inaccurate representation of a heart here)
I loooove Sushi Tei.
All in all it was a great day :) though I had to stay up till 1.30am to work on the damn SEA essay. I sleep very early so 1.30am is really a huge feat for me.
Managed to do it with the help of a lot of caffeine. I had 2 cups of earl grey tea, 1 cafe latte and 2 cups of jap green tea the whole day. Heh
Ok bye need to catch up on sleep (ya la I know I'm weak)
So glad it's Hari Raya tomorrow
Thursday, October 2, 2014
All of my change I've spent on you
Happy burfday to me
Happy burfday to me
Happy burfday to me-ee
Happy burfday to me
Listening to the 1975 in the train and resisting the urge to break out into song and dance.
Having a good burfday so far. Started off nicht so gut because of the 1.5h German test that really screwed with both my neck and my brain. Why anyone thinks it's a good idea to do tests in those uncomfortable little chair-cum-desk thingies I will never understand.
Had Subway during my 10am break and a nice cup of coffee, then went for EL tutorial which ended 15min early YESSAH I like this tutor
On my way home now, having drums later and maybe meeting the BFF (who sent me the sweetest birthday text :')
Thanks also for the wishes, Lianne Tania and Yiying!!!! (LOL yes I have very few friends) (Ooh SJ literally just wished me too, thanks bby!)
Anw speaking of drums, these days I'm worrying about how I'm gonna come up with cash for it. I guess I could ask my parents for money but I would feel bad. Mom spent a lot on classical piano for me too but I turned out the tomboy and chose to play bass and drums instead... Oh well hahahah 船到桥头自然直
Anyway, Lianne was right, being 19 doesn't feel much different from being 18 hahaha except it feels closer to 20 oh noooo
I'm gonna miss being a teenager so much when I turn 21. Don't wanna grow up and have responsibilities.
K bye

Toxicity
Hellooooo
It's been a crazy past two days. The mid-term break feels like ages ago already.
Had classes from 9am to 6pm on Monday. #shagged
There was a total of three hours for breaks from 9 to 6, but for the first hour Lianne and I were talking about econs and socio stuff over a quick Subway lunch, and the other two hours were spent discussing econs discussion questions from the textbook hahahaha #nerdsforlife
Tuesday was hectic!!
8am to 10am: German lecture
10am to 12pm: EL lecture (which I skipped to study for german mid-sems)
12pm to 2pm: EL project group meeting
2pm to 4pm: SE tutorial
4pm to 6pm: $8 paid experiment with Lianne + dinner
6pm to 10pm: CCA
The experiment was kinda strange, we signed up as pairs and arrived in a computer room to do a survey. For one of the sections I had to gauge Lianne's responses to some mathematics questions that she had to answer haha.
At the last section they asked things like "How similar do you think you are to your partner?" "How similar are your beliefs, values and attitudes?" "How long have you known your partner?" and "How much do you like your partner?"
For the last one Lianne and I both answered 5 out of 5 HAHAH okay awkward
And we both wrote 6 years 9 months for duration of friendship wow
Anyway, also got back my SE mid-sem results yesterday and I still can't believe it but I got an A?! Of course I'm damn happy but what even I seriously thought I would fail. I haven't even started on my SE essay assignment yet that's due in two weeks because I thought I would fail so I decided to just heck all things SE-related.
Thank God for lenient markers. -insert crying emoticon here-
CCA was supposed to end at 8pm but it dragged till 10pm haha. Maybe dragged's not quite the right word to use because I had lots of fun :)
I think I'm starting to get emotionally attached to my bandmates and I don't want that to happen because after the gig we'll probably hardly see each other anymore :'( (this is part of the reason why I avoided going for camps; I can't stand having hi-bye friends)
But on a brighter note, I'm starting to feel stoked for the giggg.
Abrupt end... BYE

This is one more late night basement song
I think I look damn step here but nvm I wanna have some selfies to look back on when I read my archives in the future
(And oooh finally you get to see something in my room other than my MCR poster)
Quick post before I hit the bunk.
Been feeling pretty alert the whole day today and I think it's thanks to these supplement pill thingies my mom bought. It really does feel like they're helping me think better. Like drugs for nerds...
Can't believe recess week is endinggg.
The entire week really zoomed past- I don't even know what I did. But I guess I really do feel more well-rested now. It was fun doing the little things like getting enough sleep (waking up to sunlight is such bliss), going grocery shopping and spending time with my fam and some friends.
Still had work to do but at least it wasn't anything unmanageable. Perks of being an Arts student.
And over the course of the week I got to enjoy my peppermint tea, english breakfast tea, green tea, kopitiam teh si and of course my favourite, earl grey. Love love love tea.
Highlight of the week was probably watching Mazerunner with Jiams. It was pretty decent by today's movie standards. Felt like there were some glitches in the plot but maybe those were covered in the book, idk I didn't read it. Anddd the movie looked more like a beauty pageant than anything else. Of course Thomas was a six-foot hunk and Teresa was a black-haired, blue-eyed babe.
Favourite character was probably Chuck, he was so cute! (ok maybe not, just read a character analysis of him that made him sound a bit creepy)
Ok time to sleep bye

Teenage Icon
Oh look at me so ordinary, no mystery, with no great capabilities,
But I could make out as if I had it but you know,
God I'm so obvious and I should let it go, oh I don't know.
I'm no teenage icon,
I'm no Frankie Avalon,
I'm nobody's hero.
Reserved and shy, your average guy,
No piercing stare, just out of shape with messy hair,
But I always figured I was somebody in wait,
And now I'm guessing that my moment must be late cause I'm here, oh
I'm no teenage icon,
I'm no Frankie Avalon,
I'm nobody's hero.
I'm not magnetic or mythical,
I'm suburban and typical,
But I got it, I got it
I'm overrun with it all.
Seductive charm, a way with words, so effortless
Not leather clad or dangerous,
But I always did it like a real rebel would,
I had a photo where John Lennon may have stood, or so I'm told.
I'm no teenage icon,
I'm no Frankie Avalon,
I'm nobody's hero.
I'm no teenage icon,
I'm no Frankie Avalon,
I'm nobody's hero.

Kind of a narcissistic song but I luv it. #favourite song at the moment
Sooo it's been a busy weekend.
Went to support DT at her netball match at SIM HQ. It was SUTD vs SMU, and SMU was really good... :o (no points for guessing who won)
And DT was soooo cute playing!! Watching netball also made me feel inspired to join netball, even though I don't have the time. Oh well maybe next sem or next year. Hopefully I'm less busy then :( (doubt it)
I've always wanted to join a sports cca, especially netball or basketball, but my mom wouldn't let me. So I was pretty much stuck in clubs and performing arts groups my whole life. Also realised recently that Amplified is by far my favourite cca I've ever been in- the others being Brownies, English Drama and Guitar Ensemble.
I actually enjoyed Brownies and was a faithful member for four years in primary school, but became a chao ponner when I joined EDC and Guitar. Student Council was also really fun, but I guess that didn't end too well, did it hahahaha
Anyways, there was also some carnival-ish thingy going on to commemorate SIM's 50th anniversary, and a lady gave me and Jiams coupons to buy snacks, drinks and play games. We tried, but couldn't finish using them. Hahaha
We also got henna done! Made me realise how I would really like a hand tattoo, but I'll never have the balls to do it.
After that Jiams and I went to Starbucks to mug. Had dinner at the basement. Sumo Salaaaaaad
Got home and changed and went clubbing with the JC classmates.
My conclusions:
1. Clubbing sober is no fun at all
2. Being the only girl in your clubbing group is no fun at all
3. Indians are fun to party with
4. FClub sucks (sorry)
5. Zouk is still the best
6. But it's so hard to get on guestlist for Zouk
7. I should never do shots again
About #7, it's because I had four shots, but only because the first pair tasted diluted, so I got another pair and for the rest of the night I was... totally sober. Not even high at all :(
But the next day (sunday) after a heavy dinner, I puked twice. It wasn't just water or a bit of stuff, either, it was like my whole dinner. Hahaha. TMI?
So technically, I paid good money to upset my stomach.
Anyway, no more clubbing for me in the near, foreseeable future. I feel like inadequate sleep and alcohol really takes its toll on me. Spent yesterday (monday) feeling really lethargic- couldn't sit still for ten minutes without falling asleep- and my stomach still felt queasy.
Jio-ed Lianne out to study but I kept falling asleep and I had to leave very early because I thought I charged my laptop but didn't, and my charger was at home. Felt really bad about pangseh-ing her :( I'm so sorry!!
Felt guilty about clubbing also because my parents were so nice about it. My dad told me to cab home before I left the house and laughed it off when he found out I puked from the shots, and my mom made peppermint tea for me and texted me while she was at work to ask if I was feeling better.
Parenting tip for all of you who are prolly gonna become parents in the next 10 years or so: Leave your children to do whatever kind of shit they want to get up to, then be ultra nice to them and guilt-trip them!!
Random info: I also got elbowed in the face by some girl with flailing arms at the club. It still hurts.
Woke up this morning feeling much better. Even had kopitiam breakfast on my own. #first signs of ageing
Gonna do some work then go to school for cca prac in the evening.
K bye

The banner you're waving is burning and red
And if we don't make it alive
Well it's a hell of a good day to die
All our light that shines strong only lasts for so long
And it's ashes to ashes again
Should we even try to pretend?
All our light that shines strong only lasts for so long
Well it's a hell of a good day to die
All our light that shines strong only lasts for so long
And it's ashes to ashes again
Should we even try to pretend?

We spend our summers writing songs
THE WEEK IS OVER!!!
It's been a crazy six weeks and I'm so, so glad that midterm break is finally here. I definitely needed it.
I'm not the kind of person who can sleep for a few hours, survive and still go to school the next day and a ton of after-school social events. (Tania you crazy gurl)
I need at least six hours of sleep every day or not even caffeine will save me, so ya. Life is hard.
Starting to get used to the routine of struggling to wake up for school (I don't know why I thought it would be a good idea to go for 8am classes), trying to stay awake in classes, growing an extra layer of skin and squeezing myself onto the ever-crowded NUS buses.
And the downside of cca is having to lug my bass all the way to NUS and back home. Thinking of buying another one so I can leave my Stagg there, but nah, probably not. It would be a dream come true to own a Fender precision but it's so darn expensive and like Lianne said, "Think of all the things you could buy with that money!!"
:'(
For the fam last Sunday. #readyformarriage
Cui ahahaha
That was when I was coming home on Wednesday. Crashed Et's room at CAP cause cca ended at 9pm and I had tutorial at 8am the next day, and I'm gonna do so for the next four tuesdays. Sighpie
Totally whacked my SEA midterm. I was still elaborating on my first point when the lecturer said, "You have ten minutes left." And I was like... shit.
But I think I've taken too many tests / exams in my life to get all beat up over it. Feeling kind of indifferent to it, actually. Don't know if that's good or bad :(
I'm beyond thankful for the grade-less first semester.
Morning selfies on the bus
Me and Lianne went to hand in our Sociology short assignments and agreed that we should commemorate the occasion with a picture HAHA.
Seriously, who else would do something like this? We're super lame hahaha
Simpang with Wumsy last night. Walked back up to AHS, but sadly it was dark and the school was closed. Really miss the place- it holds some of the best memories I have.
On a side note, both Lianne and I are starting to make a couple of friends in NUS. Now I have people to wave to in uni, hahahahha
Auf Wiedersehen!

Early sunsets over Monroeville
Some idiot revived the 20 facts on Instagram again hahaha.
I got tagged, so I did it, again.
But anyway, here's my real 20 facts- stuff I don't really feel all that comfortable writing on Instagram, and even though (I think) my blog gets a lot more views than my Instagram account, it somehow doesn't feel like it, probably because no one needs to comment or push the like button.
1. I dislike wearing glasses.
2. Very, very few people get my weird sense of humour.
3. I love indie and hippie movies.
4. I think movies these days really suck. The last good one was Inception- after that, everything just went downhill.
5. I am in love with music, and I spend days on end wondering why nobody else likes the same music I do, because it's the best thing I've ever known.
6. I like being alone, but if I am left alone too long, I start to over-think and become very depressed. (I almost cried once on a train because of that.)
7. I just want to lead a simple, happy life. I want no part of the rat race.
8. I love my parents very much.
9. I have an older brother that I can't get along with. It's like living with a stranger under one roof.
10. I get very envious of smart or talented people.
11. I am very easily attracted to musicians.
12. I love Tumblr because everyone has the same sense of humour as me.
13. I want to travel.
14. I'm pretty much an open book.
15. Most of my close friends are from my sec1 class.
16. My Chinese name is Zhuo Yi, and somehow people find it very amusing.
17. I have a great memory when it comes to the most useless things.
18. I'm good at English but my Chinese is pretty bad, especially considering the fact that I attended all-chinese schools from ages 7 to 16.
19. I don't like to conform.
20. It's been one and a half years since My Chemical Romance broke up, but I still miss them.
I got tagged, so I did it, again.
But anyway, here's my real 20 facts- stuff I don't really feel all that comfortable writing on Instagram, and even though (I think) my blog gets a lot more views than my Instagram account, it somehow doesn't feel like it, probably because no one needs to comment or push the like button.
1. I dislike wearing glasses.
2. Very, very few people get my weird sense of humour.
3. I love indie and hippie movies.

And stay awake through summer like we own the heat
Sticky and gross and in need of a shower yarks
Screwed cause I found out yesterday that I have an exam next week, plus I have a tutorial due tomorrow that I have not started on and know nuts about... and yep, unsurprisingly, it's Linguistics
My life is spilling over like my pencil case
Wait
What
Selfie with my beloved Signo Uniball 0.5
Ps. Super glad the week is almost over, it was sooo tiring though I know this won't be the last. This morning I woke up for school and my hair was still wet... that's how much sleep I got. Sighpie

Siala I just checked my stats for the first time in a while and realised I had more than 1000 views in the past month.
Either I'm getting popular, or my circle of friends are secretly really creepy...
Thanks for the support guys. Come to think of it, blogs, or rather, macro-blogs, are really becoming a thing of the past. Nowadays you have all these cute little microblogging websites... who needs Blogger anymore man?
Even Tumblr has kind of faded a little in the mainstream media. But don't worry Tumblr, I still love you. You complete my rainy days.
More than six years and counting of blogging. Wow.
Yeah, that's all I have to say haha. What's that, you say? Random? Yeah, I know.
Ok bye

It's not what it seems but it is
Very hungry now :(
Just skipped my first ever lecture. YAY! HAHA. I don't think I've ever even skipped a lecture in JC. #feeling badass #just ignore me
Just now during econs tutorial, we shared our answers on the whiteboard and I wrote 'constant scale of returns' when it's actually 'constant returns to scale.' Didn't even realise until the lecturer came to my answer and pointed it out. Lianne and I tried our best to stifle our laughter. (Ok it doesn't sound funny but it was)
Went clubbing with JC classmates on Sat night. It was super last minute, we were supposed to go chill at Timbre or Red Dot, but in the end.
Had dinner at Song Fa (yumz but I feel like we weren't served enough soup) and then went to Red Dot for beer.
I couldn't decide whether or not to go cause SJ wasn't sure if she should ask her mom (as the guys put it, "You jump I jump.") (In the end she couldn't make it but I went anyways haha oops)
Four of us cabbed to Bryan's house to get stuff and buy drinks, the rest went to Butter Fac, then two discovered they didn't bring their ICs and had to go home to get it. Assembled back there to realise a bouncer had taken beef with one of us, and refused to let us in. Ass.
Sat by the SG river moping about our ill luck for the evening, finishing the drinks and contemplating whether or not to go to another club.
At one point I was feeling a little buzzed (just a little) and said, "I'm fking gone." I was shocked myself and I guess so was everyone else cause they all laughed and WQ said "You know zoey's gone when she says 'I'm fking gone.'"
Still can't get over it man. Feel so guilty for swearing haha
Finally after some more moping around I said "Guys let's just go" (wah first time) and everyone unanimously agreed and we all stood up hahahaha
And I remember saying in the cab otw there, "I've never sweared in front of you all." which incited more laughter because... sweared. LOL
Reached home around 5am.
Having a super long day tomorrow, grand total of 12 hours in school (8am to 8pm) excluding travelling time.
Lecture at 8am, work to do in between (skipping another lecture), tutorial at 2pm, cca at 6-8pm, have to do chores when I get home cause my mom's overseas, and wake up in time for my 8am tutorial on wednesday.
Wish me luck.
Meeting my new bandmates tomorrow, hope they're nice enough. Haha.
Kthxbye

Plane vs Tank vs Submarine
Short post
Tried getting my fix from the neighbourhood coffee shop. (Have I posted this picture before? I feel like I have) It tasted too strongly of milk and too little of coffee.
Totally LOL-ed when I saw this in the lecture slides. On a side note, I think I'll most likely S/U Linguistics. Seriously catch no balls.
Took this for Carmentta because she loves Avril Lavigne.
Dinner at Kem's Rice & Fries with Jiams on some weekday last week. Appetizer portions were tiny, but main course made up for it. I couldn't finish my veggies. Now that's a first!
Went to a place nearby to lepak after that. Can't remember the name haha but the tea was real good!
My best friend is prettier than yours
Saw some people having this and asked the waitress what it was but apparently it was complimentary juice with a main course :( but later she came over to give us this haha aw plus points kachingz
The green is cucumber juice and the red is watermelon. Jiams couldn't stand the cucumber hahaha
Found this on Facebook. Throwback to when all of us got thrown out for not doing our chem homework.
Goodbye, back to doing my readings :'(
