Went to Ikea for like probably the third time this week because my mum wanted to go there. Got another cushion for myself. The quilt tt I need is still out of stock. Maybe i should just get the goose feather one. Headed down to Metro and then TM. Searched for sandals to wear to school but I didn't fancy anything.

Anyway, did my module registration:

I think I've decided to major in History. :D

I hate making choices

Today was my first day of orientation. Had to travel all the way to NTU early in the morning because I'm only moving in to my hostel next week. I honestly detest the journey. The train i so packed in the morning tt i end up standing for half of my journey.Oh and NIE is another thing altogether. Is it me or does it seem like i have to climb a lot of stairs and go up a lot of slopes in NIE? Hui Cheng and I had to go up a slope from the 199 bus stop to get to the NIE building but when we finally get to the building we realise tt we had to climb more stairs because we were at Basement 3!I mean which B3 is on top of a slope???!!! Basements are supposed to be underground!! At this rate i better lose weight man..

Anyway today we mainly had talks. Subject talks so tt we can choose our majors & minors (or AS1 & As2 as they call it..) tomorrow. So far Math is totally out since i don't meet the minimum requirement of a C for A level Math or Further Math and even if i were to go for the qualifying test tomorrow, i'll prob fail it. Similarly the sciences are out too. Art is out since i have no portfolio whatsoever, drama is out since I'm bloody self-concious & would prob die if i were asked to act and music is out (kinda of a pity i feel..) because i can't read scores. English Literature is a big no-no since i can't seem to get it at all. Geography i dunno.. it's ok i guess but i think i'd rather not do it. So tt leaves me with just History & English language which is all fine & gd. But here's the problem-- i can't decide among the two which to major in and which to minor in. I have to do a major for 4 yrs & a minor only for 2 yrs. I totally dig history but the thing is tt doesn't mean i do well in it. But the stuff they're covering in yr 3 & 4 seem so fun. How?? I'm stressed.. any suggestions??

I like shopping at Ikea. I have no idea why.Heh.

Harry Potter!

I finished reading Potter! Surprisingly I'm not tt sad. Maybe it's cos I love the ending. Ok i should shuddup before all those ppl who aren't done reading kill me. :D

P.S: I think my Hedwig stuffed toy is kinda cute.

"ACCOMMODATION IN HALL FOR AY2007/08

I am pleased to offer you admission into the Hall of Residence 11 for the academic year 2007/08."

Damn. Not an air-conditioned hall and must take shuttle bus. Hahaha.... Nvm still better than being allocated Hall 1 or something which is freaking old. To think tt I'd be allocated the same hall tt my sis stayed in back when she was in NTU. Hah.

So today i went to Courts and Ikea to buy more stuff for hostel.So many things ah luckily my parents paid.Hehehe..

I shall go to Daiso soon.. heh Oh i have to wake up early tomorrow to go to NTU. Sux.

HARRY POTTER LEAKED??!!!

WTF! Apparently the 7th Harry Potter book got leaked online. I went to the link because i was bloody curious. It looks real but i'm so telling myself tt it's not. FUCK. I hope it's fake. I skimmed thru' the webpage. SHIT. I'm praying hard tt when i gte my book on Saturady, it's gonna be different.

I probably have the silliest fear ever. I fear tt ppl have the same things as me or wear the same clothes as me. Dumb right?I've had tt fear or dislike since like pri sch. Once in pri 3, a friend bought the same sch bag as me. Eventhough my bag was still new & i liked it very much, i just refused to carry it after tt. I dunno why. Everytime i see someone using the same thing as me, i stop using it or use it less. I'm weird i guess. I hate being the same as everyone else.

Nowadays, it so hard to find unique things. Every shop sells similar things & everyone buys the same things. Even expensive things aren't unique anymore. I mean i stepped into an LV boutique once and it was packed as though it was some ordinary store. Furthermore, everyone had something tt was LV on them. Nowadays having something branded doesn't imply tt you're rich. Everyone has it. These days even sales girls have plenty of branded bags. Maybe Singaporeans are just generally affluent. I don't know. But it's boring and sad this way you know. Everyone looks the same and wants the same thing. Probably the only way to assert some uniqueness now is to be a smart shopper. Get cheap nice stuff tt aren't popular to the masses. So very hard to do sometimes, but we try.

Style is probably innate. Many many expensive things ≠ style. A whole closet of Manolos & Proenza Schouler clothes does not make you stylish.If you look like crap, you look like crap. Money can't save you sometimes.

Ok, i don't know why i just blogged all tt... heh..I think i digressed quite a bit from the original point but to delete all tt would just be such a waste... so ya whatever.. Anyway i met Irfan today because he took half day and since we usually cam-whore, here's a pic. I look fugly but i dont know how to photo-shop stuff so heck..hahaha.. ok bye

Yesterday was a funny day. Met up with Khalies and Shafia. They say the funniest things ever. Went to Courts first for Fish&Chips before heading to One Fullerton for Starbucks and Vivo to hang out. Had nasi ayam for dinner at Simpang. I think it didn't taste as gd as it usually does yesterday. All in all i laughed a lot. :D

I am FAT. My arms are huge & i have a tummy tt resembles tt of a pregnant woman. I better stop lurking around ZARA's kid's dept or else ppl might think I'm buying clothes for a baby. Oh and my dear bf ought to stop his recent habit of rubbing my tummy. He says I'm not fat but I know better.I better stop eating late at night. In addition, my hair i fugly now. I hate it. I want to do somethin about it but my mum says to wait after orientation. Well at least I won't have to pay since my sis gave me the remainder of her Jean Yip package. So what exactly shall i do to my hair? I've permed & rebonded it b4. I just haven't dyed it b4. But every colour seems so common now. I thought of maybe dark red or dark purple streaks but I'm afraid my hair wont match some of my clothes. Yes i'm so gay in tt way. My hair colour needs to match my clothes. Heh.. So maybe i should just not colour it. But then what should i do? Do i keep it short or let it grow? Cut bangs? How?

Paramore

HMV finally stocked Paramore's latest album, RIOT! heheh... So obviously i bought it. I soooo love Hayley's voice. They're so lucky to have 2 albums out considering tt the bulk of the band is below 20.Anyway it is damn bloody hard to get the CDs i want in Singapore,they only seem to be available in USA. I still want Pierce The Veil's debut album If anybody knows where i can get in S'pore pls do tell moi. :)

Caught Potter with Irfan today. The movie's ok i guess but not fantastic. The book was better. Speaking of the book i realised many ppl haven't read the book because they were quite a few ppl in theatre who were like "huh? wat's tt? what happen?"..oh and tt includes my dear bf..*rolls eyes* Anyway, I'm more pysched about the 7th Potter book tt's coming out. Dying to know what's gonna happen. That said, i think after tt i'll be going thru' Potter withdrawal.. no more potter books*sob*:( I hope they end the book but fast-forwading to the future. I wanna know who Harry ends up with (i'm still rooting for Ginny..heh) and whether Ron & Hermione get married..hahahaha.. silly i know.. but i'm just curious..

Silly pics from today:

Even when he does silly stuff like this, i still dig him.. :D

I am officially obsessed with Matthew Grey Gubler a.k.a Dr Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds.

so cute!I'm totally digging the geek look.. hehe.. Oh and his 'mockumentaries' on Youtube are funny too.. :P

which major?

You scored as History/Anthropology/LiberalArts, You should strongly consider majoring (or minoring) in History, Anthropology, or related majors (e.g., African and African-American Studies, Chinese, Classics, Cultural Studies, Economics, English, French, Geography, German, Greek, Hebrew, International Studies, Philosophy, Sociology, Women's Studies, or other Liberal Arts majors). ________________________________________________________ It is possible that the best major for you is your 2nd, 3rd, or even 5th listed category, so be sure to consider ALL majors in your OTHER high scoring categories (below).

heh.. the whole history thingy topping the list and math being last was highly expected. But education = 50% ?haha.. to think i'm gonna be a teacher.. ah well..

Paperwork...

Finally, got my admission package yesterday. So little time so much to do. I hate filling out the paperwork. It gets me stressed. So since i am so kiasu and so afraid of missing any deadline, i filled up everything tt had to be sent to NTU and NIE last night and handed in the forms personally today. Thank God my Dad drove me there because the NTU Student Services Centre turned out to be quite a distance from the NIE Admin building. Had i gone there by myself, i probably had to naik turun many little bukits to get from one building to the other. Anyway, i'm glad i'll be staying on campus because i definitely can't stand commuting from Tampines to Boon Lay everyday.( i swear JB is nearer..) Well, driving around the NTU campus was pretty interesting. I was scrutinizing all the halls. Heh.. Some looked downright old and scary while some looked like condos. So obviously i want the condo-looking ones...hahahhaha.. They cost a bit more but they're just so pretty! AND they're located nearest to NIE so duh... i'm hoping to get them. In a way, i'm pretty psyched about sch.. haha.. all this bumming around is making me fat & bored. Orientation starts on 25 July while lessons formally begin in Aug i think.

Upcoming Events:
Mon, 9 July -- Medical check-up at Raffles Hospital
Fri, 20 July -- NIE Registration
Sat, 21 July -- Signing of TTA
Late July? -- Moving in
28-30 July --BA/BSc Freshmen Orientation

Aside from school, there's the latest Harry Potter movie & book to look forward to! Heh.. I've started re-reading Half-Blood Prince to refresh my memory.. :D I guess this July is gonna be pretty packed..

90s

I just watched the video 'Candy' by Mandy Moore. Makes me feel like a tween all over again.i totally loved Spice Girls and Backstreet boys back then.In pri sch i had all the pins of each of the Spice Girls on my backpack...hehe.. I guess sorta miss the time when i used to listen to bubblegum pop like tt. I was so like so young.. barely out of pri sch.. now i'm like soo old la.. I hate being 20.. I never wanna grow up. Old ppl have a lot of problems.

well anyway, this is for all of us who grew up in the 1990s and early 2000s.. Classic BSB song.. hehe --> As long as you love me


And this is for.. me.. heh just because this is my all time favourite BSB song..



oh and fyi A.J is my fav.BSB..rahahaha.. i can't believe i said tt.... heh whatever..

I'm growing fatter by the minute. All the lazing around is bad. My arse & tummy are growing bigger. By the time school starts i'll prob be like huge la.. This sucks. I should stop eating chocolates & lying down after meals.. heh.. Oh and my eyebags are getting worse..i look like a damn panda.. no thanks to late night tv and chats on the phone with Irfan.. I think i have wrinkles already. Yes at 20 yrs old, yours sincerely has wrinkles forming around her eyes. Damn. And i don't even club. Bleah..
On a better note, I bought the 2007 VANS Warped Tour Compilation. 2 CDS= 50 songs for only $15.95. :D Too bad HMV doesn't sell the Paramore and Pierce the Veil albums. They have the Alesana album though but it's 25 bucks. I rather spend 25 bucks on clothes. Heh..

Sometimes when i read other ppl's blog i wonder why everyone's life seems so complicated, so full of problems. Gf/Bf problems, school problems, friend problems, family problems e.t.c. My life seems so simple in comparison. Maybe i have problems too but I just don't see them. (*Ponders*) Cannot be la.. maybe i really just don't have any problems now. Maybe i really am in my happy place where everything is finally going right. I may not be the smartest, prettiest girl around and i may not have tt many friends but at least I'm happy. I have a happy family, a loving boyfriend, a few gd friends and I'm university bound (Thank God..heh). What more can i ask for? Heh..

Anyway, after blog-hopping, i realise tt i never want to be one of those girls whose every entry seems to be about the ex-bf. The kind tt never seems to be moving on, still crying over the boy tt prob left her like wayyy long ago. It's just pathetic you know. Posting sad poems, lyrics...i mean one-two entries is fine but every entry?? come on get a grip on yourself man..You can't blame ppl for finding you pathetic. If i ever break up with my bf and turn into one of those girls, i give everyone who reads my blog the permission to hate tag me ok? heh..
