Earth Hour

I must say, I’m pretty impressed. Firstly, I’m glad Earth Hour became a large scale event in Singapore. As it originated from Sydney 2 years back, I first noticed it on Facebook and thought it was a pretty cool idea to make everyone switch off their lights consciously for an hour. I’m sure the change is rather noticeable, as opposed to Keith who is skeptical of this idea. :p

My family took a trip down to town earlier just to check out the response from the offices, malls and others that are in town, that is while leaving our house lights off. And from what I remember, it wasn’t too bad. One of the two durian shells of the Esplanade was switched off. The flyer was glistening in extremely faint blue light. Most of the offices in CBD were off. As for the hotels, their names were mostly unlit.

I think these are real baby steps but probably have a pretty large impact. Firstly, educating the public of such a cause and such a need, I think it did pretty well. Next, by getting the companies to participate in this, the outcome was rather decent. And to have hotels even participate in switching off the air-conditioning was a bold step!

Although I think more lights could’ve been off as town was still rather well-lit, all in all it wasn’t too bad! Hopefully this event will just get bigger and better through the years. Without even considering global warming and all that jazz, I think it’s just a great reminder that we don’t need all those lights on, hence it’s time to switch them off.

Switch off the lights when not in use, mate.

jacket

I was just surfing around online… looking at clothes as usual…

and I think I want a jacket like this for France!

The thing about surfing online for clothes is that you get really tempted, especially when it’s on a bloody sale. Grrr. Too early to shop for coats, I reckon.

Self-control……….

there’s work to be done… but!

this is currently the bane of our existence. both audrey’s and mine! it is also the source of our only happiness. ohhh..god!

we heart uno.

witch yoo hee (:

Busy week ahead. I’m still waiting for the day I can stop saying that. ):

Within a short period of 2 days, I got myself addicted to a Korean drama (yes, omg, once again…) and completed the last episode. (Don’t panic, I only started at episode 12!) Although the storyline is almost identical to that of the taiwanese show I was addicted to previously (girl meets guy, hate each other, love each other, can’t be with each other…), dang it, I love it. ): Gonna make a list of shows I wanna watch for the holidays! (:

Oh and bimbotically, this show made me really feel like cutting my hair short. or bangs. maybe I’ll have bangs just before I fly off! HMMM… life-threatening decision of the year. HAHA.

Weekend was fun fun! Keith and I popped by Chinatown for some awesome dimsum which I am so in love with. YAY! We also couldn’t play squash on Sunday cos silly me brought my bro’s shoes out instead of mine (in a shoebag) cos the colour was the same and I was in a rush. OOPS.

Okay, time to do work. ):

Swamped but alive

Gosh, the past 2 weeks have been crazy.

Presentations after presentations, I was struggling just to keep afloat. But here I am, at the end of the week, feeling like such a survivor. Just a few weeks ago, I was feeling so terrible, like I was sinking to rock bottom, and breaking down. It was a terrible terrible feeling. Just so swamped! But now, everything’s turned out fine and I’m happy again!!

On top of that, I had an awesome time at Jason Mraz’s gig exactly two weeks back.

He sang Lucky with Joi Chua too. Strange but I thought it was one of the best collaborations across the globe. Best harmonising Apart from Colbie Caillat of course!

Definitely one of the best gigs (I’ve been to) of all time. Thoroughly enjoyable and Seige was just a pleasure to go to gigs with. HEH!

Just two days ago, also caught Brian McKnight as part of the Mosaic Fest. SUPERB quality, seriously!

He sang with local girl Michaela, who had one of the most amazing voices I’ve ever heard from a Singaporean!

Conclusion:

Fall Out Boy – was just utter fun because of the moshing. Quality wasn’t great but it was fun.
All-American Rejects – so much enthusiasm it was crazy. Good singing but way short. But nice.
Jason Mraz – definitely my favourite since we could pretty much sing to everything. Always wanted to catch him
Brian McKnight – SUPERB voice. also fun that he brought his sons along and they sound like the dad, though obv the dad’s stronger. :p

I LOVE GIGS.

Okay, gotta go get ready to go home. YAY

critic of the year

my brother was trying to get me interning opportunities at a company where his ex-girlfriend works at now. and while trying to educate me with what I should do in order not to humiliate him,

I said,

‘does my reasoning normally end up being bimbotic?’

He said,

‘you’re a blonde who found black hair dye’

!!!

And that’s not all.

I said,

‘YOU ARE SO MEAN. HMPH.’

He said,

‘Nah uh!’

I said,

‘YAH UH!’

He said,

‘ah see see?! i was testing you and you FELL for it like you’re on 6inch heels’

I rest my case. I should just go to Heidi Montag’’s ex-firm Brent Bolthouse in LA. Bye guys.

decisions, decisions.

Should I do an internship during my summer break that pays nothing but is interesting, or source for others?

Typically this isn’t an issue…

But…

I’m going to squander buckets load of money for exchange. Hrm.

PS: it’s a crazy week and many weeks to come, I don’t even wanna think about it. ):

good news

Gosh. I spent about two hours waiting but it was well worth the wait.

BECAUSE I GOT ACCEPTED TO ESSEC BUSINESS SCHOOL!

I’m coming, wait for me!!!

Many other things to worry about though. Of greatest worry would be the course matching and my tuition kid. Oh god.

And Keith! ):

I’m sure it’ll all fall into place soon as I get excited planning what to include in my eurotrip. Just have my responsible head up there to worry myself for a while!

any other day

I can’t believe that such a massive thing happened yesterday. While we were innocently having our breakfast at macdonalds, some 200m away something like this happened. A fellow student had stabbed a lecturer, slit his wrist and jumped to his death.

It really spooked me out last night as I was walking by the building in the dark on my own. The first person I saw after climbing a great amount of stairs actually made me jump as I almost shook in fear scrambling my way back to hall. Suddenly I was skeptical of every other stranger I see.

And while it feels like it’s too big a school with too big a student population to be of direct impact on me, I can’t believe that today we all went to school just like any other day. Does it not matter? It is potentially the first of such a big scale suicide in a renowned university.

Oh our open house is so gonna suffer.
