Beginnings.

2nd August 2010 not only marks the beginning of a precious little life and a joyous addition to the family, but also a start, albeit not brand new, to my working life.

May all of us figure our paths along the way as each day passes with grace and love.

We Graduate.

I’ve officially graduated from School of Art, Design & Media; NTU!!

The convocation probably wasn’t that big a deal for my schoolmates and I. Thus, for many of us, it was just a ceremony that we go through to show our gratitude towards our lovely and supportive families.

Look Mommy! I’ve graduated!!

What we were really looking forward to was the phototaking session at the end of it! I shall put up some awesome pictures Juningham took of my friends and I.

spot that headless Yuls at the foreground who threw her head up along with her mortar board. loll

Lastly, a nicely composited shot of Hazelnutttt and I. Too bad my face looks really freaky over here. T.T

A song to chase away the Monday blues.

I like this song. Whatever the lyrics mean, I still like it cos i love its whimsical tunes and vocals.

Chase away the Monday blues!!

I’m now positioned precariously at the edge of one stage in life and the beginning of another. And i wonder where my next step will bring me to.

It is the perfect time to make any positive changes. It is the perfect time to take risks. It is the perfect time to set my life’s goals.

It is now.

I’m as scared as I am bright-eyed and eager. But i’m not going to just let life happen to me. Because i’m going to choose it.

yeah.

Lately..

I have laughed so hard at something too silly and end up crying cos i suddenly felt an overwhelming tide of sadness descend from my head right down to my heart and then toes.

I need a hug.

I’m posting stuff..

in http://www.nownotnow.tumblr.com

short random musings or notebook drawings.
I’ve started it with the intention of leaving is anonymous. well, i guess i’ll still put all of these tgt when i prepare for my portfolio website. coming up soon!!

it’ll definitely be up after i’m done with the R&H portfolio submission.. due 19th April ’10.

.. wait for it!!

Here I come 2010!!

It’s 23:58 on the 1st of Jan 2010 now and I doubt I can make this post on time cos i’m so nervous i’m gonna relieve myself and come back to start on my new year post on the 2nd Jan 2010. wait up )

_________________________

So tell me, 2009 have you been kind to me?

2009 had given me the chance to step foot on many soils. It certainly still feel surreal.
2009 had given me the opportunity to meet great, enthusiastic people. [For e.g. Nana, Samson, Jamie, Yoyo, Random year1 guy i call Ajin]
2009 allowed me to feel a lot of things i never knew i would experience.
Good and bad, I have come to realise that life is fragile, relationships are fragile, beliefs are fragile, dreams are fragile, and love can be fragile.

I have never treated the passing of a year with such high regards, because come every new year, what else will we do other than lead our planned/pre-planned lives that’s supposedly for the sake of ourselves?

But who am I kidding?

2010 marks a life altering year for I’ll don on my suit and head out into the world. Into a world of dreams, money, fame, glamour.. ok, who am I deceiving now. I am no one but a fresh graduate who has no awards in my list. But i pray for my portfolio to be awesome and that lady luck will be on my side sprinkling fairy dust on my faith in the field i’m in.

I crossed into 2010 being slightly high and a pending headache. I drank more than the amount i drank for the past 364 days. I spent the last and few hours of 2009/10 with my significant other’s buddies and we all did our list of new year resolutions.

It was sad because I lost my list the moment 2010 crept in and after the fireworks display because someone cleared the table and swept away my neatly folded slip T.T

I had 4 resolutions but I just couldn’t remember what the 3rd one was. neither could anyone of them who had read it.

We concluded that it proved to be too insignificant to be on the list. I couldn’t agree more but i’ll still leave a space for it just in case it pops back in.

NEW YEAR RESOLUTION 2010

1) Be healthy [sleep early, eat healthy, exercise regularly]
2) Save up [In case I'm jobless when i grad]
3)
4) Build up awesome portfolio

and on my 2010 resolution list for jh and i..

1) get us enrolled for yoga course
2) be more tolerant towards him
3) be more loving and better lover
4) build a concrete future together

In one paragraph, I’d say..

Get a hot body and get a mindblowing career in a great animation/commercial company in SanDiego/Vancouver/SanFrancisco/Anywhere out of Sg.

They are 2 unrelated issues by the way. -..-

 

AMAZING DEMONSTRATION!!

damn amazing.. try it too =]]

a little bit robbed?

We all think we’re going to be great and we feel a little bit robbed when our expectations aren’t met. But sometimes expectations sell us short. Sometimes the expected simply pales in comparison to the unexpected. You got to wonder why we cling to our expectations, because the expected is just what keeps us steady. Standing. Still, the expected’s just the beginning, the unexpected is what changes our lives.

living life to the fullest. can you?

“You wanna know what living life to the fullest actually is? It’s waking up on a Monday morning with no complaints. It’s knowing you always deserve to laugh. It’s doing what feels right no matter what. It’s doing what you want to no matter how stupid you look. It’s about being yourself, because no one can tell you you’re doing it wrong.”

i almost gave up typing them all -..-

i always used to think that quotes people fwd will a waste of time for my read. but i can’t help but admit that all people want is to encourage you and motivate you. or at least. the person who started it all.

these quotes were written by a 90 yr old lady. i guess you’ll have to seen it all to be able to stay true to what you say.

back in sunnysweatyswiney island

hello sun i am back.

i always loved it when people gave people surprises. ya, if i wasn’t being obvious enough, i love (to the power of love) surprises.

so….. my love (to the power of love) for surprises has taken me over and now that i have the chance to give others the surprise, i painstakingly PLANNED for one to happen since 4 months ago. i told junjia and many others not to let JH noe that im coming back earlier and PLANNED with her to let me into the house in the morning so that i could surprise the sleeping jh with my crazy eyes. but swine flu hit singapore and my plan was foiled.

well, half the plan went through. but the last half didnt. jh didnt know i reached singapore.. only 20 hours after. i should have just told him im reaching on the 12th instead laa. hmph.

then, he attempted to surprise me too, by appearing downstairs and all i could do was to look at him from the balcony. how romeo and juliet. rarr..

seriously, i don’t really care about the self quarantine thing, and i swear that i might even just fall ill cos im bored to death closing myself up at home. but if the people around me care about it SO MUCH, i will, at least, respect them.

sigh.
