Covet, covet, covet <3

 
Next to the kills and lykke li, I'm just digging this band The Dead Weather and Phoenix though I've only heard  a few songs but its pretty cool! And the music videos' pretty solid. Makes me feel lazy and energetic all at the same time, the last few scenes consisted of sunlight flitting through the bullets holes were a pretty neat trick. <3 for attention to detail! 

Haddn't been posting much (at all) cause I'm in quite a rut where I'm basically apathetic or uncaring for the clothes in my closet. Don't see how this came to be but I guess not having the time to shop does weird and awful things to your imagination. Or perhaps attempting at math wasn't a good idea after all. 
\Oh once beloved drags of cotton how i want to shred you to pieces.

All my favourite fail-safe clothing are, well not quite fail-safe anymore. That cotton biker jacket and lime-green sweater. Darlings why must you expand at the sleeves and shrink in length- all at once? Sheesh. Thats what you get for mass produced goods like mango and zara.
Well no need to fret- it's just another sign pointing towards the retail therapy option. Right? Takes ages to find what you want in your budget but that's the thrill of it all right? (wishful thinking- settling for second best sucks) 
Which brings me to my next point- Flea markets! 
Clara and I are planning to go together and I can't wait.

Also, a reunion is in order over HBP with Hwee Woon and Sher Wei. We'll be able to jibe sher about her ravenclaw inclinations once again! Quite the nerdy bunch we are- and proud of it! Reviews for the movie ranges from anemic to better than twilight, which is such a pity but this gives fans a hope of remakes in the future. Like maybe twenty years down the road fans will be able to gather once more to make Rowling richer than the King.

Not expecting any Oscar performances but Emma is seriously hot. Think that's a plus factor or a neutralizing point over the fact that she emotes with her eyebrows. 

I really loved the styling for this shoot- the hair band, the horses and ESPECIALLY this dress (points down)

kinda blurry in this picture. Vogue has inclinations for such old world/ professor's surprisingly chic yet shabby hide out in the charming woods kind of back drop. 

Ok deviation.
I'm also looking forward to Snape's performance- said to be good and professor slughorn, which we haven't seen yet.  
I'm just glad Cedric Diggory died in less than one movie- after twilight. Aye yai yai. 
Additionally, I'm really excited about prom this year. 
Quote Juno "Proms are for dorks... besides its not fun once you're old enough to go."
and the 4H ppl are totally NOT hyped up about it and there won't be dancing and it's called "Perfect night" and oganized by 15 year old dweebs who knows nuts about decorating and prom night naming. 
Oh and our theme's "black white and gold". Awesome , fun for all ages and safe enough for people with no imaginations. 
You can see so much thought has been put into the planning that the name of the event co-relates totally to the theme. (note alliteration to bring about emphasis of the word THEME) 
Ok to be fair I don't know who these dweebs are, but they better watch some gossip girl before they do anything! (wishful thinking)
Despite all this! I'm keeping positive and if nobody dances... we'll force the teachers into cages and poke them with our knives to simulate the illusion of dancing. Or throw a gas bomb and shout NINJAS!  

Whatever works. 

And finally, here's to coming months of mugging marathons.
Speaking of which I studied with my dear friend Sherylynn today, which was a pleasant surprise. To say the least it was fun so- LETS DO IT AGAIN! :DDDD 

Cheers! 

 :D :D :D :D :D 
:D: (conjoined twins)  

ITS OVER ITS OVER ITS OVER ITS omgtheskyisnotfalling- over! 
I am so high, I can hear Heaven  (nickleback reff btw)

So after jack kat and i went to borders (yes in our uniforms which blend in grass, what were we thinking?!) we had lunch and spent hours talking about friends and various other tv shows and decided to put sugar in the salt shaker. 

Kat did it by the way. 
SEE YOU FROM HEAVEN KATHY. hahahahahahaha. 

And I'm listening to chinese radio now. No lie, ITS KILLING ME. The lyrics are so friggin sweet they give me goosebumps, and all I've learnt  so far is how to describe a broken down vehicle.

I also managed to watch I AM SAM on thursday with Kat. It's really good. Better than ramen girl and Sean Penn is so charismatic as a retarded man and Dakota Fanning is just this stunted whizz kid alright. She's so mature in all of her performances firstly its amazing to see her acting chops secondly, its so disturbing that she's still a teen now and third she brings a marc jacobs bag to school! 

( 23 feb 1994 )Ciao ciao then/ 

 It is of every fateful day of the week (no doubt scheduled) that I would sit ruffled and disgruntled on the warm brick floor of the arena.
A/ feeling like baking poultry and B/ not enjoying it at all.
There would be the occasional (thank you lord) companion in this large oven that would share my sentiments. And together we make a grumbling choir of complainers. 

No doubt this is fun,  well at least I try to think so. But the periods afterwards would be excruciating.
I won't reveal much , but rest assured I'm put off by puns (of any sort, blood curdling or witty) for the rest of my life. No doubt a   

"There was a sign on the lawn at a drug re-hab center that said 'Keep off the Grass'."

joke would never again be appreciated ever after... never again. 
It's all pretty melodramatic but when its grammatically incorrect its even worse. 

Imagine if you had to stare at a pink brick wall for as long as you live. Where-ever you go- a face will be come a brick wall and shoes would no longer be fascinating. If you're a baseball player you'd have to get used to having pink bricks being flung at you. Suddenly scribes are in demand again. 

That's how disorientating and harrowing it is for me and probably the rest of the pupils in my school exposed to this bomb thing. 
My criticism rates are off the charts on these days. Instead of a 1:2 ratio of criticism to normal bull, it's increases to a 2:2. Though bull is rather more of a cusive "E" thingy and criticism a subset.

I guess that's school for you. We all have to go through it. Courage and discipline Brinsley that's what you need. Courage and DISCIPLINE. 

I CANNOT WAIT FOR FRIDAY. DO NOT GIVE UP HOPE PEOPLE. And i will miss you guys, and i will come back whenever I can and when I get a passing mark for chinese- which I will. 
<33

Au revoir !

 

smart.

Never, ever ever ever let me out when I am nackered and harrased by homework.
Ever. After another harrowing day (yes even on happy mondays) Kai Ching, Steffie and I journeyed to Great World for a little lunch/dinner (it was so late we couldn't decide). Steff and I stayed a while to attempt our homework and on our way to the busstop I spotted this japanese lady pushing her bicycle along.

it was a petite foldable bicycle type and what caught my eye was the ease of which she managed to fit all her groceries into that quaint brown basket placed politely infront. OMG OF COURSE I HAD TO ASK HER WHERE SHE GOT IT.

And I did, embarrassingly on my part. She couldn't speak english well and said so herself so I put it simply: "where did you get it?" 
(she was looking at me with half shock and I couldn't quite tell but awkwardness?)  By now my face was blooming with a deap blush but hey, I started something I'll plough through it. She said she got it from Japan. (AWWWW) and I was so harried by then I mumbled that it was cute. Hasitly saying something akin to "kawaii", she recognised the word nodded a polite awkward get me the hell outta here terse nod and I galloped back to Steffie.

Steffie looked vaguely sympathetic. :'( 
I want my bicycle back!

 So this will be an official Hi, Welcome, WTF are you doing here post to Kellie Kwan. 

xoxo 

Wow, two weeks, that must be a record. Well, all taps dry up I guess.
Schools gonna start real soon and my friends and I've been working our asses off on homework (major shock). Hopefully one day we'll just grow a back bone and disown all homework bequeathed by Miss Chia.
Imagine if one day all the paper factories of the world disappear. Nirvana! We'll be back to scribbling on rocks and stone hand have leaner biceps, broader shoulders and a generally healthier life. Then we'll just give up on that and rely on our awesome brains to remember stuff. (no text books, no snail mail from the government asking you to pay your taxes.)
Printing and ink companies will go bust.

What am I talking about? gosh.

 

Ooo, i just love videos like these. To see the clothes in motion makes everything so real. It's like it's here and right infront of me. Oh gosh, I was at wisma this afternoon and I just happened to breeze past the Lanvin shop. LUXE.
Btw, Alber  is just so adorable no? 

 

Luella 2009 spring r-t-w

I haven't gaped and lust for anything sartorial in a long long time.

FINALLY DRAMA CAMP IS OVER!!!!
*squee*

Don't get me wrong, I was excited for it to start (not so much the planning part) but I was OVERJOYED for it to finish! 
All through the week it felt like I was walking along a strained tight-rope and finally I've reached the end. I slept blissfully last night.

Here are some of the milestones (for me) of the camp:

- During a game of dog-and-bone, Sherylynn came into my path (i was running after tzer bin, i think) , I got thrown off my chase and went a tumbling. Before me benjie and another girl fell down too, but those were less violent. I was sent to the St John's people and Wai Han attended to me! Fancy that, and I learnt that antiseptic has cancer-causing elements! 
- not watching dead silent (yes, yes and yes)
- post amazing race where everyone was ranting about the activity in high spirits (aww), 
- the night trial. especially when Maira, Benny and I set the wig and white sheet at the pond.
-when Benjie and I managed to (finally) scare ONE group. 
-Mr wong's training (everyone was grooving to the beat) 


After camp, worried ol' mumster drove me to the doctor's to dress my knee. 
She inspected the mutilated thing and felt around the injured area and pulled the skin (WTF) and made me bend my knee which felt like someone had took the liberty to pull my limp off nerve by nerve, tissue by tissue. URGH and she accidentally scraped my other knee with her fingers. Like OWW. 

Friday, Winnie is coming over. We haven't spoken to each other for at least 3 years since graduation, so I'm pretty excited! 
Next week I'll be flying off to cambodia! I'm really ecstatic about that too... 
I've got 3 weeks left? 

Better start lit log then... 

 Wondering what shenanigans I've been up to since the chalet?
(wow shenanigans, makes it seem like I do things.)

HAS ANYONE REALISED ITS THE SEASON OF GIVING ALREADY???
Well I certainly have, and what better reason to go out than christmas? You know, celebrate (yep, lets force ourselves to gather in a room full of painfully underdressed people and pretend we're socializing) . Get presents... and stuff... 
Speaking of stuff. Why are stuffed toys so popular among presents? And why are overly priced japanese stationary not? 

So anyways, besides finishing the second episode of gossip girl and feeling guilty for spending money on a new pair of shoes, two tee shirts, another cardigan and a pair of tie-die shorts (i don't know how I justify/justified that buy though)

I have been looking at: 


It's lovely isn't it?
I feel like a starved vulture. You know, I won't even have to use it. It'll just sit in a cosy nook of my room like a quaint little trophy and maybe accidentally take a picture or two.
I mean look at it! Doesn't it remind you of vanilla ice-cream and warm summery meadows ? The colour is gorgeous. It has that white sun dress, bundle of daisies feel to it.
I feel fuzzy just looking at it.

By the way, am I the only person who thinks the twilight cast is... well... really weird?
Esp. Edward and Bella.
I mean, it's quite paradoxical. It's like the movie really just sticks out like a sore thumb, but it's supposed to be the teenager's (cringe) winter must watch- why is the series so popular anyway!? 
Rosalie's not the type ice-bitch beauty that everyone was anticipating. Alice's hair is totally whack ...

 I'm going off to the 2G chalet soon. It's raining now and I think I over packed with my luggage bag... I don't know HOW I'm going to get to great world with it. 

Oh, but don't worry, it's gonna be a blast...
steal jac's clothes while she's bathing that kinda thing. 

I'll be gone for 4 days. So, see ya! 

A)
Gossip Girl episode 11:
is it completely necessary for couples to eat their faces off once any of them does something sweet/romantic?

B)
On the other hand I'm watching Annie Hall.
Kathryna should watch.
And because I'm so so so so kind (and inept) I shall link a review of the movie here.

C)

I WANT LADY GREY JEWELRY


D) Can't wait for the 2G chalet and dinner with Kellie, B&Js and shopping.

Chao lovelies!

Going through Gossip Girl now.

Episode 4, Season *pause for effect*

ONE.

Yes, finally, I'm on the band wagon. The pilot episode was quite boring- thankfully the constant wardrobe changes kept me awake and now, you could say I'm going to pay tomorrow by sleeping in math.

Ta~

edit:

*insert spoiler rambling*

12:44= So I'm still watching... pretty entertaining so far, the lorrick lane line is amazing... but Nate's gambling just pisses me off. It's our education, I swear I've seen this CLICHED scene so many times in primary school already. Oh and channel 5.
12:55= "There comes a time in every girl's life where she finds out that her mother is more messed up than she is. "
1:37= Episode 5...

Hee hee hee, I was bored witless and just when I thought the only character I like is gone, she just jumps right in again! WHEE.

So finally my parents got me a printer. Old news mind you, but I just had the chance to use it and....


I was trying to print the bloody paper by loading it on top (there's a flap there) and lo and behold the computer CLAIMED that there was no paper, when CLEARLY I had stuffed two reams up its throat already. So after jabbing the print button 5 times, I realize:

THAT THE PAPER CARTRIDGE IS AT THE BOTTOM!

OMG and I thought it was just a paper storage box, and no wonder it kept printing on the wrong side the last time round!

Halloween was sooo fun!
I went with Clara and her friends. We started out at some condo and then went around asking for sweets and swapped the shoes of those who slammed their door in our faces. (and they had a lot of shoes)

YEP.

We ended up in Orchard... and we were all in heels!
*maniacal laughter* Don't tease me for sounding like a child but it was so so so so so so cool. I've never worn heels out in my life before and it hurt like hell but I think I'm masochistic... and it was so much fun (like: walk straight, don't teether into that tree)! I'm amazed at how fast Estee and Clara can walk in those things and how they take two steps at a time up the staircases while donning miniskirts.
(Felicia was such a good sport, especially in that pirate costume/whore suit thing. It was so short and she's not even that kind. She was so scandalized when she wore it out.)

~

Also, we had a class outing to sentosa!
(Last week?)
It's kinda late to talk about it (built a graveyard-sandcastle. played volley ball)
I wore a jumper and my tan line's really wierd, if I wear a t-shirt, you could see a distinct line across my chest.
AND I just realized (rather belatedly) that there're these funky charred wing-like patches of skin on my back.
I should have gone as an angel for halloween!

~

Last, bridging classes are going to end next week! I'm kinda upset ( I AM NOT A GEEK ), cause I'll have to think of things to do, which isn't that bad but my planning skills are zero so I'll probably goof off with anime or something. And I wouldn't be able to ride my bike to school anymore!
TT_TT
I think I'm pretty good at it now- haven't collided with trees, people or cars and I didn't fall down the one time I tried to wield my umbrella while cycling.

so that's good.
