I am impulsive

Bleah exams suck. I'm like sooo lazy to study.. I'd rather watch Ugly Betty Season 2 online... I'm like so addicted to watching shows online.. Gossip Girl rox la...But they didn't really follow the books.. Ah well... Chuck's voice is uber-sexy... Only a Brit guy can have a sexy voice liddat.. Yup.. Ed Westwick (the guy tt plays Chuck) is bRitish and ( i dont noe why this matters but it does..heh) he's my age! hahahha.. Ok But i think Penn Badgley (the guy tt plays Dan) is soooo cuttte.. I've loved him ever since he was on tt tv series 'The Mountain'...heh.

Anyway, my niece Natasha has started wearing glasses.. She looks damn cute la..Like Harry Potter don'cha think?

Tt aside.. i did a very impulsive thing jus now. I went to JP to get food. But then like stoopid rite if i jus go all the way there to buy food then go back... so i tot i jalan jalan and buy baju or something but then all the baju very ugly so i got bored (and desperate and impulsive) and decided to get something pierced. Since 77th street only does ear and nose piercings, i decided to get the latter since i already have like enuf ear holes. Super impulsive rite.. now i have to think of a way to hide my nose stud from the folks over the weekend...Oh and i doubt they'll allow a nose piercing when i go for my teaching experience in June nxt yr.. ah well i still have 1/2 a yr more to worry abt tt... maybe MOE will go liberal and allow teachers with piercings... RIIGGGHT... i'll just have to pretend I'm Indian or Nepalese or something... haha :P

LP ROX MY SOX!!!

It was Irfan's birthday on Monday. Cooked him meal of nasi goreng and spring rolls. heh.. thank God they tasted gd...:)

Went to the Linkin Park concert yesterday! I could have cried seeing Chester live... hehe.. They were gd!!! BUt alas they didn't play my fave song.. boo hoo.. Nvm.. they still rock... even Irfan who can't really stand them admits tt the concert was gd... :D





Anyway... I soooo better start studying.... My first paper is tmr --- Linguistics.... highly highly annoying subject.. boo.

Looonggg overdue post

Well well well... Seems like ages since I last updated. I've been busy with school. So many projects and assignments... Bleah.. Haven't been able to do any revison and the exams start like next wk!!! Mati lor...

ok enuf about sch... Shazleen is in the mood to be b-i-t-c-h-y...hehehehhe... Some pppl sooo deserve the be kutuk-ed. I mean I can't believe tt such delusional ppl actually exist. Self - proclaiming themselves as 'hot'... Subtly (sometimes even obviously) dropping hints about their 'attractiveness' and even their grades... Like wth... Thinking tt they look a certain way but in actual fact they don't... Like get a mirror can? ANNND ah the best thing is these delusional ppl actually hang out together...they feed off each other's delusional-ness (if there's such a word...heh) Sigh... ANNDDDD ah wat's with the playing up of one's mixed ancestry ah? You think cool is it? I tell u first ah, super not cool ok? ESPECIALLY if one sure as hell don't look mixed. Sooo pls like STOP IT can? Personally ah if ppl tell me I look Chinese (which i unfortunately get told far too often) I don't exactly see it as a compliment. They're probably trying to imply tt your mata sepet and your hidung penyet which is not good ok. Understand? God... Some ppl soooo need a reality check. -_-

MY BF IS THE SILLIEST & CUTEST EVER!!!! HAH..

I just ripped Irfan's latest post off his blog...Read pls. Heh..

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

21.9.07

You think you know?? You have no idea.....

I decided to do some fun blogging today.. i'm gonna share some things that people (or rather, not many people) know about me.. =)

1. I talk and move about (not sleepwalking) in my sleep (sometimes, but apparently quite alot)

And by move about, I don't exactly mean walk but some stuff which i don't exactly know.. I remembered one occasion whereby my brother told me that i was swinging my bolster pretending to be playing baseball.. haha.. can just imagine how that looks like.. and apparently i told him that i wanna beat up someone, and i threw some punches into thin air.. haha.. and just a fortnight ago, Shaz called me in the middle of the night and asked me where i was.. i was sleeping at home, and apparently i told her that i in the driving circuit, going thru a lesson.. she apparently asked, "At one o'clock in the morning?!" and i replied, "Ya! I'm driving. Don't call me." haha.. that's me..

2. I apparently have a weird sense of taste, esp when it comes to drinks

Let me name a few drinks i like to order at coffee joints and bubble tea shops, and you decide for yourself..

Green Tea Frap,
Cinnamon Ice Blended (with more cinnamon sprinkled on top),
Ice Blended Yam Oreo with/without pearls,
Mixture of Chin-chau and Soya Bean (cold)

I can't go on naming anymore at this moment, but ya, apparently, these drinks are "weird".. I don't know i like them alot.. In the end, my friends and I, decided that my "weird" taste represents me.. I don't think its weird, but I don't know many people who like them either..

the first taste of Irfan you get is different and lights up your senses,
but it leaves such an irritating aftertaste.. HAHA.. I don't find these drinks weird..

3. I'm not playing in any band, as of now

Don't talk about playing in band, I haven't played the guitar in a long long time.. though i'm thinking of making the transition to bass guitar and really get down learning the different techniques of playing the bass..

I miss the sounds of guitars and bass in an-already-claustrophobic-room, with the ear-drum-shattering sounds of the snare and crash of the drums, accompanied, most of the time, by a singer who's out of tune.. haha.. i miss those days..

Hope to start on the bass soon and hopefully discover a whole new sound.. to be honest with you, most of the bass players i knew were not so good at guitars and had to settle with the bass.. i wanna be good at playing bass.. to think of it, the bass has always had an appeal with me.. from Matt Freeman (Rancid) and Mike Dirnt (Greenday) early on, to Flea (RHCP) and Alex Katunich (Dirk Lance - Incubus) during the funk and modern rock switch, to Shavo (SOAD) during my System of A Down stages, and to metal basslines, it has always appealed to me.. i like how a song doesn't sound "full" without the bass.. haha..

4. Most of the time, I have 2 voices in my head

People may call it schizo or something, but seriously, i think it keeps me in check.. one is good irfan, and another is bad irfan.. haha..

5. My "taste" in the opposite sex is quite specific

Let me put it straight on the table.. after much questioning, with my inner-self, i conclude that i have something for fair malay girls.. not exactly chinese looking, but fair..

i think its quite unfair that i eliminate a lot of beautiful darker/tanner skinned malay girls, but ya.. that's my taste..

that's why i got Shazleen.. (;

haha..

the most shocking thing about me

i love metal and hardcore music, but two of my most favourite songs are.......................

We Belong Together - Mariah Carey &

Cool - Gwen Stefani

HAHAHAHA.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You tell me now, how can i not love this boy? He's so silly & cute & everything...Eeee i so geram.. I just want to pinch his cheeks and hug him...haha... Irfan if you read this, I love you a lot a lot ok.. :D

Late night escapades with Shy, Andi, Dada & Ili. Starbucks & a pint of "Chubby Hubby" makes my day!! The 24 hr convenience store at Nanyang Exec Centre rox my sox..

Anyway 'Gossip Girl' the series is like so fun.. makes up for the absence of tv in hall.. I so wanna live in NYC and wear pretty pretty clothes :D

HARI RAYA IN A WEEK"S TIME!!!!!!!!! YAYAYAYAYYAYAYY!!!!

I'm such a kid..

:D

Hall11 had it's mid autumn festival celebrations on wed. As part of the social sub-comm, we had to help out. The social sub-comm ppl are really nice. Was kinda fun playing with lanterns and sparklers. Some of us even had our own 'karoke' session behind the music booth... hehe 2 songs have been stuck in my head this past week-- Incubus's Love Hurts and Timbaland's Way I Are... Brandon boyd is freaking hawt!!! And somehow I'm kinda looking forward to hitting the clubs to dance once fasting month is over....rahahah...shhh.. my mum will kill me if she finds out :P

Lights

Yusman drove us through Geylang Serai lastFriday. The lights were so pretty! I so so want to go to the bazaar and get my food!!!!!

Anyways, I got my baju raya back from the tailor and finally took a pic of it. I like it :D haha.. nice?nice? no? :p

As usual, I spent Saturday with Irfan. Don't you think we're beginning to look alike? It's kinda weird actually 'cause our features are so so different but somehow when we take photos nowadays we tend to look the same.. Hmmmm.. maybe it's the way we smile..
Ok I so have to get down to doing my multicultural essay and I have a Critical Perspectives meeting in like 20 min.. Gtg bye.

I'M GONNA SEE LP LIVE!!!!!!!!!

I'm gonna see Linkin Park live!!!!! Chester Bennington live!!!!!! YAY!! unfortunately this means tt I'm like $150 poorer. :( At least my baby's going with me..

I was bored.

Went out with my Irfan yesterday. I don't know why but he just makes me very happy. :D

We both have terrible terrible eyebags ;P



Bumped into Farah at Far East! Haven't seen her in ages :D

I've been so lazy to update.... hehe...

Danced wednesday night away with Irfan, his ns friends and my NTU friends. Kinda fun yet funny...hahhaha

Anyway, dear Muni came all the way to Boon Lay to visit moi. :D Hung out aroung school before cabbing to Vivo to visit the NAF NAF ppl. Parked ourselves at Starbucks and cam-whored. :P


AND.. Linkin Park is coming to town on 13 NOV!!!!! Ok laugh at me, i don't care.. i like them ok? I also don't care tt it'll be like exam week when they come down 'cause I so have to go because my mum didn't let me go the last time they came to town. I am so buying the $148 ticket. MOE gives me a pay for a reason. :p

We need a mat/minah...haha

I've been too lazy to blog. Actually ah, I've be too lazy to do anything at all...hahahahaha I just rot away in hall. I'm such a pig. All I do is go to school, eat and sleep. Anyway, I think I'm running out of clothes to wear to school. My cupboard is like freaking full but somehow I always feel like I've nothing new to wear. I hate wearing back the same clothes. I'm just so gay tt way. I have to have like a 2 week gap before I can wear back something. Heh.. It's times like this tt I wish we wore uniforms instead.
That aside, our (me, my roomie & andi) search for a malay guy friend from hall has been unsuccessful. This sux. Hall life seems so freakin' munjen sometimes.Won't it be great if we had a malay guy/girl fren with a car tt could drive us to geylang during puasa to buy food? Sigh.. Must search some more..Ramadan is coming! Yay! FOOD!! ( I'm probably the only idiot tt associates fasting month with more food...:P )

Life sux

I think it sucks to me sometimes. I hate the fact tt i suck at sports. It's not like I don't try.I just can't seem to play any sport. Sporty ppl intimidate me.It's bloody embarassing. I can't seem to find a cca to join. I'm not gd at anything. It's bloody unfair. Everyone's supposed to be gd at something. I can't play sports, I can't do art, I suck academically,I'm not pretty,I can't play a musical instrument and of late it seems tt I can't sing too. Maybe I'm a born loser.Bleah. Life sucks. I forsee a pessimistic and depressed Shazleen. :(

Shopping!!!

I bought myself another Betsey Johnson bag yesterday. heh.. couldn't resist the discount of 50%. Too bad this also means I'm now $115 poorer.(not including the other stuff i bought..heh)

Ya so anyway, went to the Zouk flea market with Shy after tt. Surprisingly there were more gd stuff for guys than girls. Saw Channel 8 celebs setting up stalls there too. I bought 3 things altogether.

A Topshop leopard print tube which to my horror was from the Petite range & tagged a UK 4! Thank God i could fit into it.
A dress tt Shy also bought but in maroon.
And my favourite find for the day, the "I love Seth Cohen" tee!! It's so what i want... hahhaa..

Ok now I'm very poor. :(

I want to be Summer

I felt so so so so so so sad watching this.. I never want The O.C to end :(

My wednesday

I'm too lazy to type. Shall do a photo entry instead. Fizah & me attempting to mug in the library.

Shy, Ili, Hana & moi.
Roomies

Of school & food.

So we're into the second week of school already. The assignments are gonna start pouring in. Not gd. I've never been much of a mugger but i think this time i ought to start studying. Heh..
Anyway, I soooo cannot stand my 2 hour English lectures especially the grammar ones. Drab i tell you. 45 minutes in and i K.O already. It doesn't help tt grammar lectures are held early Monday morning. Bleah..
I think I've been eating a little too much while at hall.. heh.. I soooo should start jogging or something.. Last night, Shy, Andi & moi rushed to Cafe by The Quad at 2030 to eat dinner. Thank God it wasn't closed. The food there is goooood & the helping is like a lot ah..but a bit more pricey than the rest of the school. I ate seafood spaghetti . Oh and each of us bought a slice of cake. So together there was chocolate truffle cake, chocolate marble cheese cake & tiramisu cake. YUMMMMM...hahhahaa Luckily we walked back to hall after eating or else i think i would like put on a lot of weight. heh.
On a side note, I signed up for netball for the inter-block games...hahahhahha.. They are so gonna lose with me playing. But i have to collect points mah.. so join lor.. I actually thought of joining scrabble..hehe. And yesterday while looking through the photos of old events on the canteen noticeboard, i realised tt my cousin was in the same hall as me. hehe.. The same cousin who was in Canteen A one table away from me but didn't recognise me at all. Thinking back i also dunno what he was doing there since he already graduated albeit just.
Ok i have nothing to blog already. Goodbye.

I'm a happy girl today. Bought a dress from River Island and a pair of 'superskinny' (actually just skinny enuf la..) green jeans. :D Oh and today I realised how much Irfan misses me. He actually really really misses me a lot, which i find very cute. Heh.. it's only been a few days after all. Anyway I still need to find a bag for sch tt is pretty yet strong enuf to withstand the weight of my books & laptop. Noe of any?

are manyhello i cut my hair.. i don't like how the fact tt it's very flat now. Hopefully it wouldn't be so flat after a few washes.. heh..Do i look dumb with the new hair? I myself ain't sure. heh..
Hair aside, on the eve of National Day NIE held its project runway. Each GESL (group endeavours in service learning) group had to design an outfit unique to Singapore. My group did a sort of patchwork sarong. Yusman was a great model with lots of poise & confidence..heh but alas we didn't win. Nevertheless my groupmates are a fun bunch. Here's to a yr ahead together. :D Unfortunately i look like crap in each & every one of the photos below. :(Kuan Yong, Gracelyn & moi Fizah, me & Azrin
GESL BA/BSc Group 6 :D Actually i think there are many ppl missing in this pic..ah well..

Hall Life

I'm back from hall for the first time. I kinda like staying in hall. Heh.. My room's pretty cosy. It's cool tt my roomate, Shy, and I both happen to buy like black & white bedsheets so our room looks pretty colour-coordinated. Oh my hall canteen is like U.N la.. There are so many Indian nationals, China ppl & ang mohs. They outnumber the locals. heh..

Anyway, went for the NTU Welcome Bash on Monday at the Nanyang Auditorium. The first part was pretty boring because they had like those bands performing. It got better later when the Dbl O DJ started. I think i can only dance when it's dark .. i'm pretty self concious..heh..Anyway, it's odd to see ppl like getting wasted so fast. Some guy even like passed out in the loo and had to be like carried out ah.. All in all it was pretty fun but i was bloody tired. Nearly 'died' in sch the next day..especially since Tue was my long day. I actually have photos but i stupidly left my cable in hall so yeah i can't transfer any pics to the comp.
Played cards yesterday night with Hui Cheng & the guys. I suck at playin cards. Totally forgot how. Mau was like directing me all the way..hahaha..
I'm still deciding wat CCA to join. It's giving me a headache. heh.. ah well tt's all i guess. HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!!!! :P

School's starting tomorrow. I'm kinda excited yet afraid. I can't wait to get off my arse & actually do something but I'm worried about coping with schoolwork. My timetable is pretty lax. Hopefully I don't get bored.

Speaking of school,I have like no clothes to wear now because most of my clothes are in my hostel room. HEh... My mum says i brought too many over.. I brought over quite a bit of stuff. I'm just so Kiasu..:P Anyway my laptop is arriving tomorrow. Hopefully the delivery man doesn''t get lost in NTU.

I think I'm gonna miss my mummy when I'm in hostel. heh.

So I've been away for awhile. Had my BABSc Orientation Camp from the 28th-30th. It was actually pretty fun. The haunted house at Nanyang Playhouse was pretty good i admit. We screamed a lot. heh.. Amazing race on the second day was tiring. I felt like an alien in the West. I sooo am not a West-side person. Later tt night, they opened up the gym as though it was a dance floor. My og mates and I danced non-stop till one plus in the morning. So fun!



MY OG -- PAPA SMURF

Anyway, moved some of my stuff into my hostel room today. I'm in Hall 11,BLk 55.It's pretty cosy i think. Not hot at all eventhough there's no aircon. The bus-stop is very near too. Bought my laptop today. It's a red Dell Inspiron. I think school's gonna be ok. :D

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..

Things i've already bought:
-pillows
-radio alarm clock (i have trouble waking up..heh)
-ironing board
-iron
-laundry bags
-cooking utensils
-plate
-bowl
-cup
-cutlery
-tupperware
-dishwashing sponge (haha..)
-wastepaper basket
-file organizer thingy

Things i need to buy:
-pails
-flask
-pot/pan
-thumbdrive
-laptop
-toiletries basket
-thingy to hang laundry
-noticeboard pins

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
