Unpolished Gem

The longest rehearsal yet. For 12 hours! Woah... my eyelids are half open now. Anyway, i realized the power of make-up. And mascara, Yi hui's supowerful mascara gave me the lashes i could only dream of. Yeah, when i go back to Singapore, i'm going to become a vainpot and start using all the eyeliner things... they make your eyes HUGE u know! I still can't stand the crimper though, it's like some torture device, gosh, so freaky, was so afraid all my eyelashes would drop out. Oh, that sounded so bimbotic. But i can't really think straight now. So i shall just leave it as that.

Heya! Beeen aloooooooong time since i last watched a soccer match and i just watched a great one! Thanks to Huifang for suggesting. Woah, it was a great match man. Watching it English style in a smoke filled pub. I was afraid there'll be English hooligans and thugs cos we were supporting Barca! I love the classic Messi "look at the other guy then pretend to roll over" action. Haha! Anyway, i like paolo ferrero.. eh.. is that how u spell it hf? He looks like... like the guy from dirty dancing! Our HOT guy remember? hahahaha.. One week to go... i'm getting psyched up! And yes ppl, i'll kop a few to bring back okae... i have to frame one up and put in my living room. Hahaha! Now... i feel like a big star! I realize this is actually the first real drama production i'm acting in, cos all the previous shows i acted in were not so formal, or were musicals or shakespearan... like those in secondary school. Don't ask me how, but i could somehow trick people into be...

Even though i look bad in the postcard! but heck, it's not everyday you get your own postcard. So there! And anyone in London who might be reading this, Please come for PIE/Spoilt on 2nd and 3rd March at King's College(Guy's Campus) London bridge tube station, 7.30pm. Because i'm acting! ahahahahhaha! Show your support! Tickets going for only 5 pounds . Oh, and i know where to get FREE haircut already. Just beside my hall, this rather posh looking place. Never noticed there was actually a hair saloon!

Er. I think i'm not working as hard as i should? I don't know. Seems that people are starting to get ready for exams. Yeah lah, it's just me panicking cos i can't even smeeelll the exams at all. Oh well, i'm sure when the time comes, i'll know when to start working. Can't really swallow econs, it's like so tough... bah. Don't worry Mummy, Papa, i'm not playing a fool here! Not going to waste your money yeah ;) Anyway, i so enjoyed my trip to TESCO today. Haven't been there since December! Bought chocolate cake and HUGE strawberries, and dao gay... comfort food eh. Now i realize how POK the sainsburys is. BAH! And i finally got my eggs from Chinatown, the cheapest eggs in town. Hurrah! It was damn funny cos Florrine and i were working home with 4 plastic bags each, how aunty can you get! And i'm very angry that my whole cucumber got FROZEN in the refrigerator. And someone stole my laughing cow cheese. MY laughing cow!!!

The case of the noseblower: There's this guy in the library, spotted him twice at the same spot. He blows his nose damn loudly! I think the whole library can hear. I swear! You know what's the worst thing, i can't hear no muscus sound at all?!?! He's just like blowing air ... air. And he uses so much force... i can imagine the velocity of the air that's flowing through his nose and the thousand hairs being swept by the tornado within. Yeah, so everytime i hear it, i just want to laugh. Giggle to myself.

I dislike the competition. 2 vs. 1. Frankly, i'd much rather if it was just one. This is bad, feel as if we've reached a plataeu in terms of standard. But it's not good enough. I can just imagine the next two weeks...It's quite upsetting when you think you've tried hard, but someone tells you that it's still not good enough. Focus focus focus. It's been a long drawn affair and the devil in my head is saying... i can't wait for this to be over. That's the devil, but the angel will say... come on, it's only 2 weeks! Your friends are coming to watch you ( i assume you are huh.. haha) and you're not going to disappoint them. Something tells me this is the last production i'm going to be in. It's just too tiring. Or maybe i am really getting OLD.

Argh, i wish i could just hand up the essay. I've got to cut it by 300 words and every other point seems just as important. Bah, and it's really scary when i read my essay over and over again, the less it seems to be answering the question! What is wrong man ~! And i'm getting lazier and lazier to cook dinner! I wish food will just drop from the sky on my table! ( nono birdshit! )Everytime i go grocery shopping, will have to plan, hmmm.. when can i eat this, hmmm when will i be eating out, when do i have to freeze the chicken. Trivial stuff like that, too domesticated. Yucks, but then again, cooking can be reallly easy, like what i just did. throw in the chicken breast, mushroom, chilli, sauces, and FRY. Tada! one dish! Bah, gonna buy some pizzas for next week cos it's so hassle free! Rehearsals are heating up! Marvin and me put up a satisfactory performance on Tuesday. It can only get better... yes? yes? YES!

yibing and me ;) She looks so cute as always!

group photo chocolates! Look at the teeth marks. WOah... my favourite!!! EMCEES! Isn't what i'm wearing familiar. Haha. Eh, first time i tried putting on make up for myself... hahah! except for the eyeshadow which Yibing helped me with. Haha! I am no romantic but oh wells.. spread the love! Happy friendship day ! Haha, what a sad v-day spent having rehearsals and back in hall eating INDOMEE for dinner. Haha, and thats not the worst thing, have to start writing essay. Bah. Oh well, yeah, i'm gonna eat this very nice chocolate that i got from hwachong night. But i can't really bear to eat it! Can't believe someone and it's a guy actually MADE the chocolate! Here's a picture of it, i know it looks like hmmm.. sthg not very appetizing, but it's DAMN nice. I swear, it's like the kind of standard u expect from Godiva. It's heavenly! I'm trying to contact that guy, cos i want to marry him. Hahahhahaha, no, i just want the recipe cos its so damn nice...

Just wanted to say that tonight was a BLAST! And i'm DEAD tired too. But it was really fun ;) Hwachong rocks ! as corny as it sounds... haha

Hmm.. lovely mussels with lager and delicious fries... and that apple crumble. Rocks man! And Proof is a good show. Been watching so many movies! Thank god they've all been good. And Mah Ying Jeou is coming to LSE on monday. Exciting stuff, hope he gives a good talk. We're all hoping he'll be super charismatic, charm us all and make us go weak in the kneeees... Harvard grad leh... haha! Er... I must add... i'm tired man, been sleeping late every night! Bah... And rehearsals are really tiring... Tiring tiring!

Make or Break... You know what i mean VEEEEEE! hahaha! wake me up leh!

After a super boring econs lecture where i repeatedly dozed off( its the insufficient sleep lah..!) But...Woah, just attended one of those IR classes that left me feeling more knowledgable and glad that the endless hours i've been spending on IR has been worth it. And there's a public lecture tomorrow on IR i'm definitely going to attend. IR rocks!

MAN!!! Feeling like a pubescent teenager!! huh......!

Started off the day with netball... was great fun at first until Alison twisted her knee... Poor girl! Now she's on crutches :( Hope you recover soon girl! And then was back for Holborn dinner which was a hit once again! April came along from York, was nice meeting her again after so long! Too bad she didnt stay for our dinner! Played asshole daidee until 1am... and now i'm back finally in the room. And tmr, i have rehearsal at 9am?!?! and i havent finished memorising my script! i'm dead i tell you! I have a presentation on monday and i'm not ready! And my very responsible presentation mate decided to pang seh me on thurs monrning when we were supposed to meet to finalise the presentation thingy. I'm dead... all my work. Bad, but man, it was real fun! Tmr's gonna be fun too but.. my work! damn! nmind After Winnie updates her photos, i'll kope some to put up. Exhausted....! Yawn

I almost forgot! That's us in our ching chong tops! (L-R) Colin, Emiley(owner of the catering business), Andre,me Jo, Ling and Watson! Fun stuff :)

As i type, the sound from a Japanese dvd plays in the background. What's new... Noise pollution as you guys call it. But i'm not doing any work so I shan't bother. But doesn't it suck that every waking moment that i'm in the room ( which is really little btw, considering i've been getting home at 12 for the past 3 days), the sound from tv or the comp permeates the room. And then at times like these, when my mind wanders... you know what silly things i think of, how nice i't d be if i have a bf, i could choose not to go back to my room! (Okae, stupid random thoughts, see what stupid things i think of! )Gah... i've resorted to staying in the library to do my work and i'm actually glad when i have to stay out late like the past 3 days cos it means i wouldnt have to hear all the sounds. I dont know if i'm a sound phobic or what okae. At the end of the day, sometimes all you want is a little quiet... even if you're not doing any work. Personal Spa...
