DEAR DIARY
11:17 PM
Finally got my pasta and pasta sauce today after finding Jia En and B&Js at Novena to get the quilt stuff from her! So I've got all my ingredients, including those I bought with Sherri yesterday, ready for tomorrow's dinner! YAY! I'm super excited! I hope the food turns out okay ^^
I made the cakes today and I'm super disappointed because I don't think they turned out well :\ They both burst open because there were too many air bubbles. The circle one looked like a mini volcano! I officially suck at folding ): Although after the cakes cooled down, they sort of deflated so they look normal now.
The heart-shaped cake is quite okay, but the circular one is kind of bad :O The top is so freaking hard, its like a rock! I had to bake it longer than the former because when it burst open, the insides were still about 25% unbaked. By the time I finished baking it, the top of the cake, which was previously good, almost became burnt *sobs* They're both cling-wrapped and in the fridge now. I hope tomorrow they'll be okay ><
Best part was that while cleaning up, I accidentally spilt red food colouring all over the white marble kitchen table top and I had to scrub furiously at it so there wouldn't be any unsightly stains and also to save myself an earful from my mother. What I didn't realise until my maid pointed it out 2hours later, was that I somehow spilt some on my leg as well. I've been trying to scrub at it too but it refuses to go away ): So I have a red Harry Potter scar...on my leg -.-
It looks so silly! I hope I can get it off by tomorrow evening!
Oh and I've finally decided on the design for Jo's scrapbook cover! :D
Pretty right! I've made some modifications to the white border thingy so it looks like this:
The picture is a little dull cause the light wasn't switched on when I took it. I feel so happy that it looks nice :D I'll be putting the whole thing together tomorrow, if I have the time(:
Oh I just realised SISTIC has started to sell SOV tickets, so I'm rallying the Year 3 girls so we can all sit together, hopefully in the first level ^^ Sad that the guys all CMI because of army ): Nonetheless, I'm still really looking forward to SOV this year! ^^
Okay, I better go to sleep soon. I have a lot of cooking to do tomorrow and god knows its super tiring to prepare a full 3 course meal so I better get some good rest tonight. Sweet dreams!

The cakes I baked today didn't turn out too well :\ I can't taste them, but they don't look that good. The tops are a little too brown and hard and the texture is a little funny *sobs* ):

Just accepted my NUS offer for Faculty of Science(:
Exactly one year ago, I was sleeping, subconciously excited for the later part of the day where I'd meet the rest of the VJCHOIR people, ready to board the flight to Venice and embark on an amazing adventure filled with excellent music, awesome company and the best memories ♥

First thing I saw in the morning was this:
YAY! Finally! :D I've been waiting quite a while for this and my parents constantly tried to make me apply overseas because they were worried I couldn't get NUS, or any other university here. YESHHHH! I want to accept it now and quickly apply for my intended course but my dad says do it tomorrow, since its his auspicious day or something. DARN I want to do it now though...itchy fingers >< My mums not picking up her phone so I guess I'll wait for her to get back to me and I'll decide when I want to accept the offer. YAYYYYY I'm super happy now! Maybe I can concentrate better on studies now! ^^ wheeeeeeee~~

Saw this on Tumblr.
Barney: Put on the suit Mr Mosby.
Ted: Barney, I know it’s you. Where’s my stuff?
Barney: It’s not me. If you wanna see your precious possessions again, put on the suit.
Ted: What suit?
Barney: Ding dong. Oh, what’s that? The doorbell. That’s the suit I’m talking about!
Ted: I haven’t gotten to the door yet.
Barney: Oh okay, let me know when you do.
Ted: Okay, I opened it and there’s a suit there.
Barney: That’s the suit I’m talking about!
Ted: Barney!
Barney: This isn’t Barney, but I hear that guy’s awesome. Alright, listen very carefully. You will get your stuff back if you are able to complete a series of challenges. Number 1, put on the suit. Number 2, meet me at Maclarens in an hour.
Ted: How will I know who to look for, since we’ve never met?
Barney: I look like Barney.
HAHAHAHA I ♥ BARNEY STINSON

Went shopping with Michelle for the scrapbook and quilt stuff today! ^^ Spent super long trying to decide on a good enough design for our quilt patches, and trying to find stuff to sew/iron on to the fabric D: But I managed to find some pretty stuff in the end (:
We finally got the scrapbook papers, although, we decided on something entirely different from the pictures I sent to the girls. But we used Vintage Whimsy's first page as our cover so I'm happy ^^ Got some really pretty flowers as well to decorate the scrapbook.
Gosh I'm super excited to start making it! :D I really can't wait for the girls to give me an OKAY for the cover, so I can at least get started on the scrapbooking while waiting for their notes (:
I feel bad though for cancelling the coronation plaza outing with Giam. I felt so sticky I had to bathe before leaving the house but I lost track of time while studying and was running super late ): Giam said she couldn't wait till 4pm for me so we just decided to meet on Thursday itself. Sigh. Nevermind, Thursday will be fun, with the homecooked food and the good company! (:
Oh and I finally got my concealer: L'oreal true match, neutral shade. The shade is a little light on me but mostly, it blends well. I just hope its good enough to cover my eye bags ><
Sometimes I feel like I have nobody to talk to. Quite a few of my friends talk to me, sharing with me their excitement or looking for a listening ear and some comfort. And as touched as I am, that they choose to confide in me, and not anyone else, at the back of my mind a voice reminds me I don't have that kind of person to confide in or just talk to.
Worst still, is that some people tell me things because I just happen to be the person who was available to talk to. But soon after, the person suddenly doesn't talk to me that often and I realise he/she didn't approach me specifically. They just wanted someone to talk to and I was close enough to them for them to tell me everything on their minds, because no one else was online or on facebook etc. Sigh I hate feeling used and yet I can't help it because it isn't me to ignore people when they need someone to listen.
Whenever I'm feeling low, I want to call somebody and just tell them about my feelings about whatever it is thats bothering me but everytime I pick up the phone and scroll through my friends list I find that there isn't anyone I can talk to because my friends would be busy at work, out with friends or family and it isn't right to disturb people when you know they have something going on.
Gosh I'm rambling. I think I'll end this now and go cram whatever I can into my brain. I wish burning books and drinking them really did work to improve our knowledge ><

On April 25th, put a heart on your wrist to signify that you will wear your heart on your sleeve and observe a lifestyle of love. Ask someone how they're doing. Tell people you love them and do it. Nobody should have to feel so bad about themselves that they take their own life, so let’s give them a reason not to! Let’s change the world on April 25th!

Switched on the TV while having dinner and caught the last part of Pink Panther 2. Guess what I heard?
Inspector Jacques Clouseau to Nicole: "Nicole, I have learned that
NO MAN IS AN ISLAND. So would you, even though it may lead to possible injury, marry me?"
See? It isn't just me, the world is practically screaming it in my ears!

Just saw this on Dria's blog...
...and I'm happy to say I try to follow this as much as I can. I know I get really frustrated or upset at people sometimes and I fume at them and curse them in my head (sorry ><), but I always forgive them and usually forget about those little incidents that I know a few weeks or months down the road I'd find silly.
I'm glad I'm not one to usually hold grudges against people. Life's too short to spend it being angry and upset so I should try to be understanding and forgiving and spend my time spreading love and joy instead.

Yes, I know, my new blogskin screams 'obssessed'. I thought I'd finally come to terms with my graduation and learnt to accept that life has to go on, that, while I can treasure those precious memories, I can't cling onto them forever, always thinking about the past, neglecting the present and reluctant to face my future.
Yesterday, while I was watching the juniors during SYF workshop, I felt so excited, thinking back on the days leading up to SYF 2009. The excitement, the nerves, the adrenaline. Everything. Running around the parade square early in the morning and doing warmups outside the PT to wake ourselves before singing. Even now, when I think of singing My Love on the VCH stage, I am so overcome with emotion. Sigh.
One year earlier, on this very same Sunday, we were preparing for our performance at VS's Rhapsody and the following Monday we were heading to the airport, ready to embark on our journey to Venice.
Funny and heartbreaking, how time seems to fly by so fast. I can remember everything so clearly as though it were about a month ago but alas, it has been almost a year.
On second thought, I -have- learnt to accept that I have to move on with my life and prepare for my future, but at the same time, I think watching the juniors go through the same experiences as I did evokes a sense of longing to relive the past 2 wonderful years. I think I just have too much time on my hands at the moment and with all the SYF and SOV preperation going on, my mind automatically fills with memories of the SYF and SOVs that I have experienced.
Okay, emotional turmoil aside, I can't wait for shopping tomorrow with Giam and dinner on Thursday with the roomies! Oh and lunch+mani with Sze Hui on Monday! Of course, I'm looking forward to SYF and SOV as well! ^^ Although I still have to study for my SATs which can be quite annoying sometimes but I guess it is one way to keep my brain active while I'm enjoying my free time before university starts.
Speaking of which, I've only heard from NTU so far-I have been accepted into Biological Sciences-and even so, I still cannot access the online Joint Acceptance Portal hmm...I can only hope that it is because NUS might be considering me for DA for Law. Whatever the case, I'm confident that whatever I get is for the best. Hopefully it'll be either of my first 2 choices in NUS (:
I guess I'll just wait patiently, unlike my parents, and see how things go from here. Meanwhile, I have some serious chionging to do for SATs and some very fun outings with friends and of course, I can finally sing in a choir again since I signed up for In Song '11 with Giam and Dria. Life doesn't seem too bad at the moment.
