New York

What the heck... I dreamt of going to New York last night O_O well by the end of the dream I haven't made it to New York, but was going to lol. There are some stuff in the dream which I think will never happen in real life. First of all, I asked my mom in the dream how on earth did she get a US visa. And she said that the embassy official just approved it. Hmm.. in real life, visa application will be soo much more complicated for my family than in the dream O_O long story!

You know seriously until now I still can't believe that I actually went to US (and New York!!) last month. Sometimes I just had the feeling that it was all a dream, then I realised it can't be a dream simply because of the friends I've made during the last trip (real life friends, not imaginary friends lol). There's one part in the dream which is quite amusing. Because in the dream the month before I had just gone to New York, and then I was going to New York again. So I was trying to find my New York travel guide. And found out I have THREE such guides in my house lol. In realy life I only have one (the one I got from New York hotel).

I've promised myself that eventually I'll visit New York again (and again until don't know how many times haha). There's still that feeling of unfinished business there (photo-wise, shopping-wise, sight-seeing-wise, all thanks to time shortage.. and that irritating guy). I wouldn't even mind residing there.. but I sure know that at one point I still want to go back to Jakarta and reside there eventually. It's just that feeling of.. regardless of how pathetic your hometown can be (well at least compared to Singapore), you still love your own hometown lol (regardless of the pollution and the traffic jam). I feel that during the last New York trip, I failed to capture the essence of New York in my photos (terribly!). Most of the pics are like tourist pictures haha. I guess I can be pretty adventurous, and so I tend to like capturing more of un-conventional pictures haha.

Yes I shall stop rambling about New York. Because I'll never stop rambling about it if I don't stop myself. It sure is a special city to me :)

I..

hate exams (don't everyone?)

and.. regret taking Geog :( Tons of memorising. The ultimate example of a school subject with lots of memorising :( And, in my opinion, in the end, only human geog will be useful. Most probably not physical geog. Maybe MOE could chop the two up...

Anyway, my friend told me the strangest dream I've ever heard about me. Yes, she dreamt of me. Well 2 weeks ago, I dreamt of her. And we were eating sandwich in some sandwich shop haha. I don't know why I dreamt of her, I only see her in Econs class lol. Apparently, her dream.. is soo less innocent than what I have of her. She dreamt that I was getting married (HAHA) and apparently it was some arranged marriage (LOL) and she didn't see my husband (fortunately.. or unfortunately haha). The funniest part is the next part. She said in the dream she asked me... "I asked you how was it doing it for the first time?" and I supposedly answer "erhm, it's painful". HAHAHA. No she's not one of the people who usually share that kind of convo my other friends and I have sometimes during our recesses. I didn't know she can have such a WILD imagination too (of course another conclusion can made from the dream lol! :D)

Speaking of a dream, I dreamt of meeting Adam Levine of Maroon 5 on Saturday lol. It was.. quite hilarious. He was the concierge of a hotel I was staying over at, then when I was checking out, he happened to be checking out and recognised me, saying "you again!" haha. Then we walked around. Somehow in the middle of the dream he needed to go somewhere to check out something and though we promised to meet again later in the day, obviously we never did lol. Sigh if only I had known the technique of lucid dream earlier lol. (Lucid dream is the kind of dream where you know you're dreaming, and you can sort of take control of yourself in the dream). Please don't get the wrong idea! :P

Apparently the next day I googled him. And the first headline in Google news is

"Levine says: 'let's talk about sex'"

What the heckkkk?!! haha he was like saying people should be more open talking about sex.. and should have more sex O_O errrr.

The next article it talks about Levine and his currently girlfriend. And it says: "We had sex the first night we met." Errrrrrrrrrr that's way too much information.

Thankfully I didn't dream of him again that same night O_O I think it'll be quite weird and nightmarish.

Ya.. Yason Bourne

I have just immersed myself the whole of today studying Transnational Companies for Human Geog O_O compared to the rest of the globalisation chapter, it's such a bore... well at least until the last part which is about Sony Electronics haha which is quite interesting :)

So, only 9 more days to Prelims. Like WhAt ThE HecK? Haha. I hope to cover as much as possible this week, especially with the National Day holidays. Wish me luck for the exams please! :D

In a sad news, my apartment has officially gone en bloc :( :( :( :( It got a headline in Friday's Straits Times, saying "Jackie Chan apartment went on sale" haha. I didn't know Jackie Chan own a unit in my apartment O_O So next time can I say, "you know what, Jackie Chan was my neighbour"? Haha. Obviously I won't say that :P

Watch this parody of Bourne Ultimatum trailer. It's very very hilarious :D

Undead

Hello. My life has not been that interesting. That's why I've not really blogged lol.

My days are now packed with revision plans :( Well at least I try to revise. But sometimes the plan went awry and I got distracted lol.


I watched The Fabulous Life of Amelie Poulain again last week. I still found it beautiful. This time around, I got more of their jokes. Maybe it's because I'm older now (some of the jokes are adult jokes). I watched it about 3-4 years ago I think. I realised a few days ago that prior to watching Lost of Translation this year, the last time I watched it was Sec 2 (with Leona) which is like 3 years ago lol. Oh the joy of re-discovering of the beauty of those movies which you loved, but just couldn't remember why you love it in first place. Next movie: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind!


I've got so many plans for after prelims.. which is bad :(
1. Buy DSLR camera (COMEX fair is coming!!)
2. Watch Lost and Ugly Betty
3. Watch Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
4. Watch Amelie and Lost in Translation again (maybe)

Oh ya, my brother is selling t-shirts online. The website is http://vig81.multiply.com for girls shirt, and http://vintage81.multiply.com for guys shirts. As you can see, the t-shirts are the vintage kind. Very affordable. About S$18 to S$25. Go and check it out! :) If you want anything just email me okay? Actually I got some shirts with me now.. the ones in my bro websites will take some time to come if you order them. I hope that I can open a LIME flea market stall in September. We'll see how it goes :) (it costs only $20 to set up!)

Cheers.

08/07/07

Oops. 2 weeks and 2 days since GYLC, 2 weeks since my last (very short) blog entry, and Live Earth had just ended haha.

So let met tell you first about GYLC briefly. I learnt a lot of interesting about other cultures *cough cough* and surprisingly about myself as well. Well, it's the first time of me traveling overseas without my parents or family members. It's a very eye-opening experience haha. Since I'm the adventurous type, I wasn't scared at all (unlike that guy who is someone says is supposedly "my favourite person" ewww). Anyway, thankfully I didn't feel homesick (though I missed Chinese food really badly.. the Chinese food there is quite horrible). My friend in GYLC from my country group, South Africa (who also shared room with me in Washington) and I frequently go to pizza and pasta shops for meals (she suggests it! haha), so that explains why I was really sick of pizza and pastas at the end of GYLC. I really learn the fact that sometimes, you can't just compromise with some people! Because, if you keep compromising with some types of person, you'll totally lose out haha. Hmm I'm not the kind who can just leave person for another friend. I'm not that mean okay! Haha. Because I don't want that same thing to happen to me. Hmm let me talk about the good sides of GYLC. GYLC taught me more to be more outspoken and more of a confident speaker. We had to do a lot of talkings there, so I guess that makes you more comfortable speaking to a group of people (about 24 people in one country group). During the trip, I was thinking I must speak up more, if not I wouldn't make full use of the conference. I had to continuously challenge myself. So, on the trip to United Nations, when a person from my country group got the honour of asking a question to the speaker in United Nations, I volunteered myself, and I got selected! Haha. Yup. So at first I wasn't really sure what to ask, and so I just generated some possible questions for the actual day. I came up with a list of questions, and in the end I asked, "What kind of programmes do UN have to engage the greater involvement of youth in Developing Countries?". Interestingly, in addition to answering that question, the speaker also somewhat answered the other questions which I had on the list :)


Hmm, GYLC made me realise how hard it is to really make good friends within such a short period of time! (12 days to be exact). First of all, you have to find someone whom you share several similar interests (so that at least you can talk about it). Secondly, I appreciate the fact that it's soo much easier to relate things and talk things with people of similar culture. Sometimes I just don't know what more to ask from people of other countries. This is especially bad for people who are quiet, and doesn't really talk unless you talk to them haha. I guess I treasure my friends more now :)


Of course, as those people whom I've talked to know, the most shocking thing happened on the last day of GYLC during the dinner cruise. It's totally culture shock man!
O_O


Here's my country group picture, South Africa. It's the only picture in which every member was in it. My faculty advisor Philip was in that picture too.

Do you see any cute guy? Haha. In my opinion there are at least two :) (some of my friends says one person looks like Prince William haha. Spot him!)

Well after GYLC, because my flight was only available the next morning (United Airlines service totally sucks), so me and 2 other people extended our stay. Well, I'm sick of repeating myself over the accidents. So I'll just say "my favourite person" ruined the day.

So what have I been up to recently? Well, people from US came back for holiday! Hahaha. It's really fun catching up with you all.. and seeing you all being amazed by the massive transformation of Singapore haha. I also caught some movies. Transformers and Death Proof. I'll review it on the next entry teehee. Other than that... I soo need to really study! I haven't really mugged :(

Well Live Earth had just ended. Before yesterday I somewhat thought maybe it'll have the impact of Live 8 concerts. But after watching it for a few hours yesterday and doing more research on it, hmm I think that it may not have the similar kind of impact. Lack of proper goals? Agreed. Too little famous artists lined up? Agreed. Private jets for artists contributing to pollution? Agreed. But then again, as one artist argued, the price paid for the concert may bring greater benefits and exceeds its cost. Which may be right. Well, I'll just wait for the outcomes first.

Tomorrow's Monday. Sigh school again :(

Last Time Before I Say Goodbye..

Hello! Let me start reviewing some movies first :D

Zodiac (7.5 stars out of 10)
This movie is brilliant. It's well above my expectation. Knowing how the original case turns out, i thought that the movie would have a horrible ending. In the end, the directors pulls of the ending with a great style. I love the cinematography of this picture too. It creates a very bleak and tense atmosphere. It's a great thing that I'll be able to catch this movie once again in my flight to US. Can't wait to study it properly this time :) Oh on the last note, I thought Mark Ruffalo's acting is damn good (better than my handsome even haha). There's one scene particularly in which he successfully make me pity him haha. Jake is hot (of course, especially as the movie progresses towards the ending), but nothing beats Mark Ruffalo and Robert Downey's acting, who is able to potray casualness and seriousness at the same time in his character and makes him look endearing despite his beards and old look *cough cough to someone*. Great movie.


Shrek 3
(6.0 stars out of 10)
Another three-quel. Though this is not as bad as Pirates (maybe it's because of it's shorter duration. 2 Shrek watchings= 1 Pirates watching). Some of the jokes are funny. But there is generally a lack of funny jokes in the movie. Most of the jokes are plain, or not funny at all. The only scene which really cracks me up is related to Snow White, because it reminds me of a friend of mine who told me that she is very disturbed by Snow White's singing in the original cartoon. Haha. The story really lacks ingredient. They should have come up with a more elaborate, creative storyline! I really hope that this will be the last Shrek installment. If there is another one, I won't be watching it.


Oceans 13
(8.0 stars out of 10)
I can't stop laughing when watching this show. It is so much better than I expected (especially after watching Oceans 12, which is a total letdown). I love the Oprah joke, though I think the 2nd part of the joke is funnier. George Clooney is charming as usual. And great cast chemistry in this movie. Al Pacino's character is kind of limited. But who cares? Prior to watching this movie, I read about reviews lauding this movie's cinematography, and I certainly have to agree with that. There are some unconventional ways of shooting. I'm going to watch this movie again to study it. This is the best summer movies for 2007 so far and the best three-quel so far (we shall see if Bourne Ultimatum can beat this). Go and catch it if you haven't :)


This is my last entry before heading to Washington tomorrow. 715 am flight tomorrow morning bleh. Though it's later than the other group hahaha. I hope everything works out well, and that I'll enjoy myself in US. I'll only be back on 23 June. So yeah.

Until the next entry :) Take good care of yourself (and don't forget to study, since I won't have much opportunity to revise there). Let me warn you, if anyone said "I don't have time to study during the holiday" when the school reopens and when the person has 4 week holiday, well I don't know what I'll do haha. I've warned you.

So take good care of yourself :)

Cheers and best regards, Olivia

Darth Vader + Statue of Liberty


Hahaha, this is what you would get if you mixed Darth Vader with Statue of Liberty. This sculpture is part of the Vader project art exhibit, which involves influential underground artists making their own intepretation of the famous Vader helmet. The exhibition is being held in Los Angeles.

You can read an article on the exhibition here

More pictures of Darth Vader (in different reincarnations) here

Come to the dark side....

Transformer Newest Trailer - Looks VERY exciting



This trailer looks very exciting! I never expected myself to be quite interested in Transformers movie haha. Be prepared to be transformed :) Enjoy the trailer.

Forgot to say..

Forever 21 Sale is SOOO disappointing. So little things for sooo much publicity :(

Can't wait for Mango and Zara Sale haha. Though I think Mango sale will be more exciting and crazy (if you've never been to Mango first day sale, you don't know the experience of real sale, people!)

Cheers.

It Won't Be Soon Before Long

Hey everyone. Let me update you on some movies that I've caught the past 2 weeks.

28 Weeks Later
This is really beyond my expectation. I watched the first one (28 Days Later), and didn't really fancy it. So, when the good reviews started appearing for this movie, I was curious about it. So I decided to watch it (not forgetting to pull someone along haha). Anyway, let me warn you the movie started brilliantly, I think it's the best way that the movie could be started. The movie really keeps you on the edge of the seat most of the time. My heart felt weird after watching the show haha :S Hmm, London looks damn freaky without people! I think the Rage virus (which is the zombie virus) is the worst way for the world to end :( The only annoyance to this movie is about the father (highlight to see spoiler) Although he had become a zombie, he kept following his children, which doesn't make sense (end of spoiler). Anyway, 7.5 stars out of 10 for this movie.

The Wind that Shakes the Barley
The wind may shake the barley. But it fails to shake my heart! :( This movie is very disappointing for me. I found it too monotonous. I have really high expectation going to this movie screening, because it won last year's Cannes Festival. The story is quite predictable, and I found it too heavy for me. I dozed off in the middle of it for about 15 minutes haha. It doesn't help that Picturehouse doesn't allow food inside, so yeah. So, 4 stars out of 10 for this movie.

Pirates of the Carribean: At the World's End
Looking at the trailer of the movie a month ago, I had really low expectation on this movie. And then the bad reviews started pouring in. But oh well, it's a blockbuster movie, which is the kind of movie you just have to see haha (unless you really don't want to see it). So anyway, the movie as I expected turned out so so. Thankfully I didn't fall asleep. It was 2 1/2 hours long O_O The ending is very lame and stupid. Some scenes are very draggy. The characters have too many agendas of their own. I hope they would just stop at Pirates no. 3, and not make no. 4. Cause I think it'll be disastrous! So, 6 stars out of 10 for thie movie.

4 more days to Batam, 13 more days to US :)

Oi!

Topshop sale up to 50% nowww. Haha. I went to check it out today, but the sale section was too jumbled up, so I decided to come back again tomorrow. Sadly, the top which I've been wanting to buy is not on sale :( However, there are some other interesting tops which I saw to them, and their price have really gone down O_O

I went to check out Kate Moss Topshop line too. It's very disappointing so far. The dresses which I like are not in yet I guess. I guess I will have to wait for some time.

I saw this very nice shirt dress today in Gap haha. It's white colour. Ehmm.. about $120 something. Haha. I was thinking of waiting until my US trip. Fingers crossed I'll have the chance to do some shopping there haha.

Hmm today I realised two things:
1. Window shopping makes me happy
2. If Mango goes on sale tomorrow, I'll go bankrupt haha. So many nice things!

I'm going to sleep early today. Hopefully my flu will get cured by Monday :D Can't wait to be fully fit once again.

This year has been quite tough compared to other years. And I know it'll be tougher after the June holiday, after my 'honeymoon period'. I can't stop cursing already.

Cheers, Olivia.

P.S. I'm not going for Christina Aguilera's concert.

Inspiration

Some random pictures from Vanity Fair's 2006: the Year in Photos portfolio which I really like. Do check out the rest of the pictures at
http://www.vanityfair.com/magazine/2006/12/yearinphotos_portfolio200612








The next pictures are taken from Vanity Fair's First Impressions: Fifteen Years of Vanities Discoveries at http://www.vanityfair.com/fame/features/2006/12/van_retro_slide0612.

I especially love the Keira Knightley picture (I seriously think it looks so much better from the Vogue's Wizard of Oz spread! :D). Enjoy the pictures!

Error Avoided

There's something wrong with my "Create Post" page in my blogger home. The font, text, picture buttons etc are all over the place. Thankfully I found a handy solution from the Blogger Help Group haha.

So anyway, my US visa application has been granted :D So.. here I come GYLC! Haha. Well it's not that easy. You see, the SQ flight to New York is fully booked :( So I've booked United Airlines just in case my waiting list for SQ doesn't get confirmed.

I watched Spiderman over the weekend. Well, what do I think of it? "It's like that lorrr." Hahaha how badly do I feel like saying that. It's satisfactory. No wow factors that will make you want to watch it again. And the ending is tooooo drama. There are too many characters, which makes it hard for the movie to develop the back stories of the new characters. For example, the movie could have just done without Gwen Stacy and Harry Osborn actually. Their characters are very minor in this movie. One last thing that bothers me is that... there is so little Venom! Like what the heck. So much hype over Venom, and he only appeared for like 15 minutes :( Overall, I'll give the movie 6.5 stars out of 10. Spiderman 3 could have been a sooo much better sequel.

Hmm Tobey Maguire somewhat reminds me Milo Ventimiglia of Heroes. You know, Peter? :D Peter Petrelli is so hot *sighsss*. But NOT Nathan Petrelli. Whom I found very very very very very very very very very ugly.


I'll most probably be watching 28 Weeks Later and The Wind That Shakes Barley this week. You may ask why would I want to watch 28 Weeks Later. Well the ratings have been surprisingly good, and it's written that it's so much better than the first one (28 Days Later) which I found so-so. So, of course I want to watch it (no, I'm not going to watch it because of Cilian Murphy).


Can't wait for weekend (though it's only monday). Sigh :) Did anyone check out last Thursday's Urban? What a coincidence really.

Fashion Rip Off

I've got nothing to do, so I should post you some interesting fashion news. Take a look at the fashion copies. It's quite interesting.

Hmm now Diane Von Furstenberg is suing Forever 21 for copying the former's Cerisier Shift Dress. Here's the side by side comparison.

The left side is Diane's dress, while the right side is Forever 21's. Very closed eh? So high street fashion, is it a blessing or a curse?

Gone For A While

Hellow. Sorry for the lack of updates! Life has been pretty stressful unfortunately. First it's the Batam trip thing (which is torturous to handle as the deadline approaches) and then there's some problem with my family going on (which is a sudden thing). Sometimes the pain was just unbearable that, yup, I have to shed some tears (well so far it's been 2-3 times this year) at home. I guess it's good to let go off the pain, rather than having it welling up inside you.

So let me talk of some good things now. I've finally received my paycheck for the freelance photography job I had. $300! Ka-Ching! Hahaha. So happy! It's my first paycheck. Hope many more will come in the future. And 2 weeks ago I've finally got the booklet for GYLC preparation. Now I have to apply for my visa. Wish me luck :)

I watched Phantom of the Opera two days ago, and it was quite brilliant. Except for the singing whose words you cannot decipher occasionally haha, especially 1-2 of the female leads. Other than that, brilliant. The set is amazing.... jaw-droppingly good. The costumes are well-designed and intricate as well. I must say that watching the theatre version of the play is so much more interesting and engaging than watching the movie haha. After watching Opera, I'm more motivated to go and watch Sir Ian McKellen's performance which will happen in July. Now that I got a nice view of how the theatre hall looks like, I kind of know better which seats will be good to get for the performance.

After watching Phantom of the Opera, Stephanie and I went to Glutton's Bay besides the Esplanade. Since I only ate a small Chicken Pao for dinner that night (due to time constraint), I was ravenous after the performance. So I ate Mee Soto, which is good! Seriously good, not good because of my hunger. Then I ate Kaya Fondue, which is fantastic fantastic and fantastic idea for dessert! It's very good. If you have the chance, please go and try it!

Another of my Charles and Keith sandals has retired :( That's 3 pairs of broken sandals this year, which is a record.

I passed my NAPFA today! Yay! Hmm in my school we have to get at least Silver to be considered passed. I almost got bronze, which is not good, because of Standing Broad Jump. I hate Standing Broad Jump because you feel a lot of pressure casted by the watching eyes of your friends, and because there is a high tendency of falling, which happened to me on my first attempt (I'm nursing blue black on both of my knees). Nevertheless, the main thing is that I passed! :D No more NAPFA test in my life muahaha.

I haven't watched Spiderman. But I heard it's not that good. I think I'll only watch it in 2 weeks time. Well better late than never.

Okie, that's all for now :)

P.S. I still can't believe Edward Norton is going to be Hulk. At least Liv Tyler as the love interest will be a good choice. Another thing, for Time Traveler's Wife, it's been confirmed that the couple will be played by Rachel Mcadams... and Eric Bana O_O What an awkward pairing. I never imagined Eric Bana as Henry. I have always imagined Henry as geeky sweet haha.

P.P.S. Zara's dresses and shoes are soooooooooooo adorable! Too bad I can't afford all of them. Shall wait for sale.. and shall start saving up.

This Year's Such a Rollercoaster Ride.

:( :( :( I got C for PW. Like what the heck :( :( :( I put in so much effort into it... and I'm rewarded with C. I'm guess I was really unlucky to get that supervising tutor of mine. Totally useless.. and the person makes you think as if you're doing fine... when actually the person doesn't know what the person was doing. Even though the person tend to write more comments on my works compared to others', I realised now that they were still pretty useless too.

Anyway, I must overcome this sadness and move on with my life!
Well, I gorged myself with Ben and Jerry's yesterday. I'm pretty sad that my weight now is 67 kg :( normally it's 65 kg. Soooo... I shall start doing my routine night exercise again (which includes a lot of crunches). Eh I read somewhere that actually it's more effective to exercise at nights, which is rather coincidental haha. Interesting huh.

My freelance photography job is coming to an end. I just have to send them an invoice and high resolution pictures. I'll write how much I'll get soon :) Anyway, I'd really want to save up this money for GYLC. Since I still have the feeling that I won't get much spo
nsorship (though I haven't started writing sponsorship appeal letter for GYLC ^^'). Speaking of sponsorship, the sponsorship appeal letters for the Batam Trip had been sent to some places, and two had got back to us. One says no (in a nice way), the other's answer was rather vague. "We had started processing your request". Hmm.... hopefully that means good.

This year is such a bipolar year. When it's good... it's really good. When it's bad... it's really horrendous. My Mom told me that a person born with Snake horoscope face lots of obstacles in the year of Pig. Haaaaaaa. I guess that explains some of the things that have happened so far. There are a few points this year where I just felt like crying like crazy. Whether it's about school stress or about friendships, well it happens sometimes. I guess it's good to let off the emotions if you can't take it anymore.


Last weekend, I finally watched Lost In Translation (again). Contrary to someone's belief, I fell in love with it all over again. It's sooooo beautiful and such a creative film! I noted a lot of technical and actors' expression now that I watched it again. I'm happy that I've chosen the correct movie to start with my movie studies :) One thing that really amazes me about this film is how the director can convey intimacy between Bill Murray's and Scarlett Johansson's characters, who really have a platonic friendship between them. This is especially conveyed in this scene, which is one of my favourite:

Notice that Scarlett's leaning her feet against Bill Murray, while Bill Murray is touching her feet, showing some sense of closeness and friendship between them.

I watched "The Namesake" on Thursday. It was fine until the last 3/4 of the show, where it became very very very very very draggy (until 4 people left the theatre halfway). It's like, "Oh the movie is gonna end." And it doesn't. Then again, "Oh the movie is gonna end." And it doesn't again. This goes on until I gave up wishing the movie is ending haha. One question that left me pondering too is what's the moral of the story? I mean yes, it's mainly about the understanding of the choice of the name of one of the characters. But is that all? Anyway, other than that, the movie is extremely visually appealing. Maybe I shall revisit the movie to study its technical aspects. However, my favourite scene of the movie is when the lady puts herself into the shoes of a prospective bride, who lives in America. I think that scene really speaks volume, despite not having any word uttered. Without the draggy ending, this movie would've been a fantastic one. 6.5 stars out of 10.

I'll write again soon :)

Crisis Over..

Ha! I thought this week of mine is gonna be filled with troubles and problems and so will be tight.

No 1. The crisis on Tuesday has been solved. I've talked to the person.. and at least hinted to the person about it haha.

No 2. No more Drama commitments! I did sewing on Tuesday and Wednesday till 9.30 pm and 6.30 pm respectively. Helped to go and buy some of the stuff too.

No 3. I thought I'll be miss a part of Topshop fashion show today, since it commenced at 5 and I finished school at 4.30 pm. Fortunately, it started late (at 5.45 to be precisely) haha. It's my first time attending fashion show. I thought the materials for the clothes are rather plain. Not much pattern :( After the show, we went to the party at Topshop Wisma. I didn't know what to get to spend my S$10. In the end, I bought this nice butterfly ring for $16 ($6 minus the voucher). Thankfully I didn't really spend much in Topshop, because later when I went to Forever 21, there are some tops which I really like :) I'm still deciding which one to get... One is blue colour with flower pattern, the other is this dress which really reminds me of one of Topshop clothes O__O Haha.

Going to sleep now. Sigh, why must someone rent out Lost In Translation when I want it? :(

At last I've paid for GYLC tuition fees! Yayyy. Waiting for acceptance and application letter for visa application haha.

Cheers :)

P.S. I think my iPod's battery has spoiled.
