Delayed

Today is supposed to be my first day of work, but I got another day off. Turns out it's tomorrow.

No matter, I had a decent day. Watched 2012, was actually nice! Several gripping moments, can't believe the lead character's family always narrowly escape death. Talk about luck.

I spent the remainder of the day at home watching dvd... Grey's Anatomy- season 5. There's just nothing else on TV that's as good as this. It's so good I actually believe the characters are real. Their lives are so compelling, the writers of the show did a fantastic job! I love every minute of it.

Yeah, I had a good time.

OK. Work starts tomorrow. For real.

Introducing 'Yhart Sale'

From now on, you can have a piece of me.
Nope, didn't enlist myself as an organ donor. Think again.

I have been working hard to make this happen, but now that the moment of revealing it is here, I'm tongue tied. Gee I wish I could come up with a more creative way to say it, but I'm too happy/excited/nervous/tired to construct witty sentences.

SO I'LL JUST GET TO THE POINT...

I'm starting a mini business. Yup, I'm selling my own art work, Yhart.
The profit from this project goes to charity.

THE REST you can read at my Yhart Sale blog:
http://yhartplace.blogspot.com/
THIS is where the magic happens.

I'm keeping a very open mind about this venture. So I won't blame you for thinking I've completely lost my mind.
Oh wait... come to think of it, I've always been crazy, and I'm sure you guys already know hahahaha.

So I hope you will support me.

I would like to thank every single person who has contributed to this project. Those who have inspired me to make art, those who I have invited to preview the Yhart Sale blog. I value your comments and suggestions. I made some changes, and I have a feeling more will come.
As stated in this blog's header, change is inevitable. I'm staying true to myself.

Thanks and love to you all. :)

Work Shoe Virgin

Today's my day off. Putting project aside for now.

Went to Jaya Jusco at 1U, it's their member day! Lots of stuff 70% off, totally worth it.
Seriously packed, everyone wants some. Was a bit taken back by the crowd, but i felt right at home minutes later.

Oh did I mention I'm working part time at an office for 2 weeks, beginning next Monday?
Yeah, I realized I have no work clothes, aside from the 1 formal shirt I wear for presentations.

SO today I covered myself from head to toe. Shirts, pants, shoes.

AND I have to say, I'm a total virgin when it comes to buying formal shoes. They all look the same to me- ugly! The front looks like the snout of a duck. In the end, I asked my mum to pick one coz I was lost in the sea of leather and skin. This almost never happens, me turning to my mum for fashion advice!!! What next, pigs flying in the air?

My style is more of casual, I have pretty much mastered the craft in the sense that I can tell what looks good and what doesn't. BUT formal wear is a totally different pond. I'm like a fish out of water.

And I wish I was thicker in the thighs and arms and chest. I realized I'm like a walking stick, the shirts and pants look baggy in me, even in the smallest size. So many DIRT CHEAP branded shirts, but not available in my size. I'm already trying my best to grow sideways, but it's just not happening. :(

At least this day is productive. Tomorrow the curtains will be pulled on my work, and on Friday the Wong siblings are off to Genting! Apparently there is new stuff to check out. Anyone wanna go meet me there? I'll buy McDonalds! :)

Life's Good.

I'm Lovin It

The holidays bring out the best in me.
I'm most productive, most creative and least whine-ish.

This past week has been like a whirlwind. Many things are happening, my eldest sister's wedding for one. A lot of smiling, photos.
And I'm super excited about my new project, I had trouble sleeping the day I came up with the idea. Currently I would say it's about 65% complete. I can't wait to announce and unveil my latest venture. I really hope the response will be positive.

Today I AM hell bent on playing Sims3. Been wanting to do it for days, but every time I switch on the computer, one thing leads to another and I end up working on something else.

Even though I'm as busy as I was during studying times, I'm truly savouring every moment of it. I don't mind getting hectic for doing things I love. It's totally different from the busy-ness that you get from piling assignments and assessments.


BYE for now, but COME BACK soon. For IT will be REVEALED soon!!!

Muahahahahaha

I shall not express too much joy becoz many are still having exams. If not mistaken, SPM & STPM is starting. I remember how gruelling SPM was. So many bloody papers. Such a long period. Thankfully the teachers at CHS do such a great job at prepping us.

Good Luck guys.

This is the first time I'm granted a long break, unless you count the months after I came back from NS waiting to enter college. My sisters have made a point that I should spend time wisely, perhaps a job or volunteering for some cause.

Anyone needs me? I'm up for volunteering. Usually I'm in a good mood during holidays, so a lot of things are negotiable. Gosh this sounds naughty.

Being the obsessive compulsive person that you all know I am, I have already begun planning my schedule for the next 3 months. It's a lot of fun to plan, I always try to fit in as many things as possible (some quite ridiculous), though some things never get done.

Don't have a concrete timetable yet, but roughly there will be:
1. TENNIS. lots of it. play till my hands and legs fall off.
2. A trip. Can't expect me to stay home only. Will go nuts.
3. Yhart. new inspiration. more insane than b4.
4. Hair... something radical. I'm thinking of either shaving my head or keeping it long.
5. A job. definitely. i'm on the hunt.
6. lastly : RELAX!! This is the whole point of holidays rite!!!


LET THE HOLIDAYS BEGIN! =)

This Day, That Day

I can never get enough of Natalie Imbruglia's vulnerability.... such intriguing music.

Last paper tomorrow, it's been so long i'm losing steam rapidly.

Just need to hang in there for another 24 hours.

I listen to this song during tough times.
I listen to this song after tough times. Even more meaningful.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8yw2Aa6ODw

Will listen to this again after my paper tomorrow! Come on Yoong Hsiang!

A celebration will follow. Muahahahahahahahahaha

Bad Romance

Already 5.5 million views in just 3 days. This is the power of Gaga.

Just watch it.



Freakiest Gaga video yet.

Last paper on Monday! Bio bio bio bio bio......

When life comes crashing

Or I should say when my laptop decides to crash on me... Basically things look grim.

Electronics/Technology is not my thing. If I were a character in Sims 3, "technophobe" would be one of my listed traits, among 'neurotic', 'over-emotional' and 'neat'.

Sigh.
Actually I don't feel too bad... becoz the important uni documents are all saved in my thumbdrive. Most music files I have copied into my mp3.

The most valuable data I would have lost is pictures... esp the 'Yhart' folder containing some memorable and new material. =(
Once art is lost, it is impossible to re-create. Even if I did try, it won't feel the same. It will be pseudo.

Another thing I'm gonna miss is all the programs! Sure they can be reinstalled, but gees it's gonna be a real pain to do it all again.
And all the settings that I have grown accustomed to... the little things...

Will have to start from scratch again.

MORAL of the story:

It's only when our luxuries have been stripped away that we realize how much we actually take for granted.
Everytime something is taken away from me, I realize what a moron I was for not appreciating it more before. We all experience this. But after some time, we tend to forget this reasoning and revert to being our ignorant, non-appreciative selves until something is taken away from us again. It's like a cycle. Right now I'm in the remorseful phase.


LESSON of the story
Guys, always back up your files regularly! Don't wait till something bad happens to do it.
And don't form an attachment to computers because eventually they will die on you.
It could happen sooner than you think.
So BEWARE... No, I mean BE AWARE! (not trying to scare you, just saying)

Gummy Bears and Pokemon

'Robot Chicken' makes the funniest videos... Remember the Star Wars video I posted some time ago?

Recently I saw these and couldn't stop laughing... esp the Gummy Bear one. I think I have a sadistic sense of humour. Absolutely hilarious. OK maybe a tad violent.

Be prepared for high pitch screams!

"I'm so happy coz I'm a gummy bear, gummy bear!"



"Pika pika pika..chu"

A - OKay

Phew... Chem paper turned out alright. Better than expected. =)

Now it's time to relax a lil b4 i start preparing for the next paper. Some sweet music will do the trick. Quite a lot of new songs lately.

Have u heard of Paloma Faith? Nice voice, something like Duffy and Amy Winehouse but more mainstream, in other words, easier on the ears.



Not sure if the "other person who took your heart away" is really a person, or referring to the city 'New York'. Some kind of metaphor perhaps. Interesting anyway.


Oh and then there is a new song from Lady Gaga... Slightly freaky song. Not sure what to say of it.


And if Bad Romance was freaky, the new song by Rihanna is eerie. 'Russian Roulette' I think is about a relationship where Rihanna's partner is tempting her to take a gun and pull the trigger. At the very end, there is a gunshot. Not sure who gets killed though. Suicide or homicide?



Anyway have a good weekend guys! =)

Staring Fear in the Eye

I'm so not supposed to be blogging now, but I just can't resist.

I'm just 2 hours away from my Chemistry exam!!!

And you know what's the scariest thing?
I'm actually freaking excited. NO, i'm not confident at all, chem remains my worst subject. Maybe it's the adrenaline, I can feel my heart pounding like it's about to pop out of my chest.

Never felt that way about an exam before. Usually it's just nerves, but now it's excitement. I think it's a response to sickness of studying, a self consoling mechanism by tricking my mind into believing that I'm ready, and wanting to get it over and done with.
After all I've been studying chemistry for days and I really just want to get on with it.

Something is seriously wrong with me. Can't believe I'm happy. Not sure if I will still feel that way when I see the paper. But right now all I feel like saying is "woooohoooooo!!!!!!"

Gosh I'm nuts.
Will update you on how things turn out later.

Dress Up

NO, not me. The only think I have been (a)dressing lately is my Chemistry notes. My mind is saturated with equations and concepts, I don't think I can study any better. There's like a hole in my head... the moment new stuff goes in, old stuff I read earlier comes right out.

Anyway some stars were in the Halloween spirit and were spotted over the weekend in some bizarre outfits...

Kylie and Fergie hand in hand =)

Jessica Alba as 'Dora the Explorer' LOL!

Michelle Obama

Heidi Klum and hubby Seal dressed as crows at their annual Halloween party

Mariah and Nick Cannon
