Here to kill some time waiting for 2.30am to come which is when I'm supposed to register my classes for exchange. I really hate the whole time difference thing, makes it hard to connect with people in different time zones! ):
So I turned 20 a few days ago, which is actually rather depressing. I am now officially old. But oh well, I suppose it's the start of an exciting new decade for me, during which I will hopefully become more mature and independent. Let's just say it's been a pretty good start so far, learning to let go of certain things and not bearing silly grudges. Makes life much easier for myself too.
Work has more or less settled into a routine. For 5 hours each time, I will generally be standing at the info counter, flipping through a magazine or talking to anyone else at the counter; shelving books around the store, etc etc. Time passes pretty fast and I have quite a lot of time to stone and think about things. My most hated job of all definitely goes to helping out at the kids' section. I've never really liked kids and working there just makes me want to tear out their guts (and the parents' as well).
I realise I probably should make a proper plan for my future. Need to stop thinking that I can go on leading such an aimless life 5 years down the road. The tragedy of the lost generation indeed.

So I haven't been posting here for quite some time now, decided to post something since I'm up way earlier than I expected. The holidays have seriously just flown past so quickly! There's only about 2 months left for me now, but I feel like I'm only just getting into the whole holiday spirit! Finally cleared up my wardrobe couple days ago, I threw away one big bag of clothes! I think now that I'm working I keep thinking that I deserve to buy something every time I go out shopping; thank goodness I haven't had much time for that.
July's promising to be a good one, what with Marge and Jove coming back (yay), fewer work commitments, Tioman (unless the rest cancel on me D:), CAC FOC (time to torture those juniors!!) and hopefully more time to meet up with people. Still missing a whole bunch of people. And I definitely need to start spending some time on myself.
I should seriously stop listening to the Glee soundtrack considering how I'll probably be listening to it the whole of next week in Borders anyway. But it's really some good pick-me-up music!

Life has been awesome for the past week or so since the exams ended, so much laughter, love and joy (: I think the only sad thing right now is my wallet, because it's so empty. I need to start work soon, which reminds me of Borders which, ugh, just informed me training has to be postponed. D: Never mind, back up plan at the Intercontinental which pays really little but at least I get experience in the hotel industry!
So many things to look forward to the rest of the holidays: TOY STORY 3 (!!!), Mint Museum of Toys, Pixar exhibition at Science Centre (RAH are you reading this?), overseas trips, etc. School seems so distant and far away right now, a good thing definitely.
Hope everyone's having immense fun too! <3

Cuddling on my bed seems like the awesomest thing alive right now, after spending hours moving everything from my hall and attempting to squeeze them all into my puny side of the room. And I'm not even done yet. Trying to magic some space in my wardrobe out of thin air to hold 3 bags of clothes left unpacked. I must have shopped a lot more than I remember this year. But anyway, despite hating hall life, it's kinda sad knowing that I'll probably never get to feel the cool night breeze at the corridor at midnight, or battling lizards with my roomie again.
Anyhow, I have successfully completed my first year in NBS, which is truly awesome. (:
P.S. Everyone should go listen to John Grant's Queen of Denmark album.

Was reading one of my older posts about doing more of my tutorials this semester, but as it always happens, I ended up doing less than before. I have no idea whether or not to be proud of the fact that I did effectively none of my tutorials this semester. D:
Am also DEFINITELY DEFINITELY entering that dreaded phase of mine when I become an absolute loner. A clear sign of this is choosing to stay at home when there's perfectly good weather out and potentially great company to enjoy. Must attempt to make this phase as short as possible.

Things that are making me happy right now:
1) Charlie Kaufman's films. Ever since I watched Becoming John Malkovich recommended by Hiang, I have fallen deeply in love with this genius.
2) The fact that so many more people are starting to love Haruki Murakami. Or maybe I should say that so many people I'm following on Tumblr likes HM.
3) Collecting photos of places I want to visit when I'm in Canada. Some of those places are so pretty!
4) Spending a lot of time alone, thinking about all sorts of weird and strange things.
5) Reading saved MSN conversations which make me laugh no matter how many times I've read them.
One of my favourite things to do is to stare at someone without him/her knowing and really take in every single detail. The way he raises his eyebrows when he speaks or the way she touches her chin deep in thought. Noticing all these little things makes me feel closer to someone without us actually communicating with each other.
I realise that I am actually quite a boring person to be around, because I tend to like to just sit in silence. Even though I might say random things like "Oh, awkward silence!", I actually really don't mind not talking because I happen to like to let my mind wander. So the next time you are with me and I'm not exactly being the best person to be around, don't mind me too much because I'm just doing my usual.
And sometimes it's really during one of those silences when you can look at someone's eyes and just know what's going through that mind. That's definitely one of my favourite things to do as well.
