I feel sad. Like, lost kind of sad, because we just had a class talk on universities and further education and i realised i have no specialisation that i'm interested in. :'(
What am I going to do with my life.
The reality of life has just shot me in the head. :(
and with presentations and deadlines looming over me... sob.
i'm incoherent now so byebye.

New UK export band The Wanted with All Time Low. I would have liked it if they had some kind of skill... like dancing... I mean, NLT (disbanded) were really good, but sadly they disbanded. And to think these guys are only swirling sparklers round and round... I can do that. -.- Autotune ruined their voices in my honest opinion!!! :(
But, on the bright side, they do amazing covers!!! :) And one plays guitar, their REAL voices are so lovely, and they can harmonize (envy)
Nice comeback.
But anyway...
JESSE MCCARTNEY!!!! <3
I am hearing so many unreleased songs floating around lately... from long ago or from the Departure era. Vulgarities abound no doubt, he's grown up! Haha, Elena wouldn't like this new direction he's taking, but I'll still support him. It's sort of catchy after a few listens.
Oh, and did I mention I'm excited for Ryan Cabrera all of a sudden!!! ;)
Okay gotta head off.

I watched this today. I was amazed at how intricately complex they made dreams out to be. And to think they have the technology to infiltrate minds, that's already a winner in itself already innit - ie, the plot. Christopher Nolan just took this movie in a holy direction. I worship him now. He made The Dark Knight an awesome show, and now this. Oh my god. And Leonardo di Caprio, seriously, what is he? God or something? How is it that he always chooses the right kind of film to act in? Titanic, Catch me if you can, The Departed, Shutter Island, and Inception. Shit, he's good at what he does. You know what? This movie has got me thinking about dreams and how concrete it can get. The fact that you are at your most vulnerable when you're dreaming, but yet your subconscious can actually employ defence mechanisms against negativity and foreign inceptions... it's just brilliant! I was all the while keeping a sort of in awe face - (@o@) like this. HAHAHA.
I believe the scriptwriter had one hell of a job to make this whole plot understandable to the average viewer. And injecting humor in the plot??? Who would have expected that?! Ee!!! My only gripe was that Ken Watanabe was underused? He got shot in the beginning of the dream and was all in a mostly subdued state after that, which sort of made me sad because he could have been put to greater use!!
And the totem idea is like, wow. It's sort of like a security blanket I guess, letting you know that you're not in anyone's dream because when you keep going in and out, in and out, you'll lose yourself along the way. And you might not even know if you have lost your way, but having that totem keeps you sane.
Oh, and who can forget the CGI?! One reason why this movie was made possible is due to technology today. The CGI is bloody flawless?! Especially how you can turn the whole city upside down, and at the right angle point, walk up to it and continue on...
And the whole scene bursting into millions of pieces when you realise you are in a dream and it has become unstable, and then gravity is lost, and you are floating like in outer space. Shit!!!!!! :o
I just want to say that never before has a movie made me think as much as Inception.
Intense, way intense.
This better bloody win all the Oscars or something.
Other reviews that I thought described the movie brilliantly:

yeah, preview of Jesse McCartney's new song that will be featured on the Step Up 3D soundtrack. -.-
It's called UP.
Too much autotune~, takes away the beautiful voice of Jesse!!! But it's a catchy dance track I guess. :s

Well, this week has been rather eventful, with both ups and downs. I guess Monday was alright, last Medlaw lecture \m/ and Advert was just a consult, and we seemed to be on the right track. Spent the long day discussing Advertising, and left round 7?
Tuesday was more for fretting over the stupid system called SPSS. It's some statistical analysis thingy that we have to use to analyse the survey data we have collated for some topic we have chosen. I am so effing screwed for that project I think. & in class, we were forced to watch a HORROR clip because after that we had an assessed tutorial ON the horror clip. What sort of class makes you watch a horror clip and fail you if you don't? I mean, I NEVER watch horror. :'( Traumatised day ended with Medlaw tutorial and a rainy day. :'(
Wednesday morning at Bugis National Library to attend the SPH talk on new media. Pretty cool I guess, just that it was mostly about things we sort of know already. The catering was good though. It's sad that I actually remembered that event more for its food than the talk itself. The speaker Vin Crosbie was really charming though! I wish I could have stage presence like him, and be as fluent. :( Afterwards went home (hehe) and changed for NAPFA. Oh my god I cannot believe I actually decided to take NAPFA. I think it's the good-student gene in me or something. I cannot make myself skip anything that will get me into trouble. -.- Sigh. Anyway, met for Advertising before heading with Angella to NAPFA. The only thing I was really proud of was my inclined pull up. I mean, I hardly get past 4?! I managed to do 18!!!! :o The rest were like meh, and my sit-ups were the worst! :o I failed my 2.4 so everything else didn't really matter.
Thursday was pretty sad, Masina lecture was -.-* and we were sort of free for the next four hours, which I think were spent doing Wisp, because I thought we were presenting the next day. (in any case, we rushed it out for nothing.)
Bookpub was crowded... I don't like. :( At least my parents came to fetch me home! <3 I was aching the whole day though from the stupid NAPFA. :(
Friday let's just not go there... :( I just want this done with really. But no... I'm still unable to speak coherently during sessions of presentations. I don't know what's wrong with me. I have to rehearse every single thing don't I? :s Advertising after everything.
I am worried for the presentation on Monday because it's... very... raw.
By the way I should stop talking about school.
I really think that school's sheltering us from the harsh realities of the world. I got a taste of it a couple of weeks before, and to think that I'll be in that world in a couple of months freaks me out like crazy. :(

Oh the day gets better! Met Michelle & Julin to head to Scape to secure a good spot to catch a glimpse of Show Luo. & by jolly we managed to find a good spot, without being blocked by people in front except for a barricade, and horrendous amount of media and security. :(
Still, I managed to get a good shot!!! (see picture)
The organisation was pretty bad, because the whole area was sort of weird... but whatever, my legs and back were aching after the whole thing. Then went off to discuss a project. Sigh, life of a mass commer. I even missed an outing with my secondary school friends!!! >:(
All because I totally forgot.
Okay I shall end here. There's really not much to say about Sunday except that I baked a cake.

I know I haven't blogged for a horrendously long while, and so much has happened!!! :)
Wednesday
Went to watch Eclipse with Mel & Ky. Oh my god, Taylor Lautner's abs are to die for. I still stand by the fact that he looks like a wolf face-wise. Haha, so apt for the role ain't it? At least the vampires are not as shiny and pale-white as the first two movies, which was really icky. Now I can tolerate... but not a lot anyway. Haha. The movie was... you know. "like that lor". hahaha. Not sure how to feel about it. Dinner at KFC wooo! Had been craving for the Banditto Pocket ever since forever, so finally got to eat some comfort food.
Thursday
This day was freaking long. 12pm lecture on HORROR, of all things, which scared the shit out of me. Traumatised, then went for class. Had a practice session for the skit that was to take place on Friday. Dinner and Book Publishing. I workshopped my story, which everyone found was well-written, but it had no story arc. Tutor was surprised that it had no story arc, and said unsarcastically that it was a skill to write without having a story arc. Obviously I had no idea what I was supposed to feel. Always stuck in the middle with feelings during Bookpub ahhahahaha. Oh well, I guess I have to try to think of something else to write.
Then they talked about horror stories, when they jolly well knew we ended at 10pm that night oh my god. -.-
Friday
I think I worked till really late the night before, so I woke up feeling groggy and all sorts of inattentive. Walked passed a couple of friends and didn't realise it at all until I heard them calling me. -.- I must have looked a right mess.
Skit went fine, but I really felt unjustified. Suppressing feelings is getting hard. I really wanted to say something. But confrontations are not my forte.
On a sidenote, I should start thinking of others more. They might be joking but really, it's true.
A sad lunch and another class, before met for group discussion that ended in the evening.
Will blog more.
坏习惯全部都带走...

You know, I feel lazy to go to school so early. Damn it, every time I make plans for myself, I end up changing my mind anyways, so pray tell me why I even bother?
And I keep forgetting stuff lately, like how I am supposed to read a particular email but haven't gotten down to it yet. Shit.
Now I have more work on my hands! Ew I hate my life right now.

EDDIE 彭于晏 办了签唱会！他的EP 《非爱不可》 收录了五首歌，真的很好听耶！ 签唱会很少人，应该只有百多个吧，可是他却很卖力噢！ 觉得他本人很友善，也很帅噢！！ 签了他EP 就会看着你，对你笑，而且跟你说话噢！ 他跟我说 “谢谢你支持我的EP，你最喜欢哪一首歌？” 我就 愣住了啦，可是还是回答 “变色龙！” 就匆匆握了手，又匆匆走下台了啦！ 哈哈，他好好啊！！！ ：） 可爱的笑容被拍下啦，欣赏一下吧！ ：）
Spontaneously decided with my manager, Jianteng, to head down to City Square Mall for Eddie Peng's EP signing. Oh my god, I'm pretty glad I went because there weren't many people around and we got right up to the second row! Hehe, saw him up close, and then I think we were sort of crazy over how cute he looked, and he was quite good singing live. His dancing also not bad, so I'm pretty impressed.
Haha, and when we went up, I was all, I MUST LEARN FROM SHOW LUO'S SIGNING. Look at person, not at him signing, but I think I was looking at him signing, BUT HE LOOKED UP AT EACH AND EVERYONE OF US. Maybe because he's new and not many autographs needed to be signed so he could do that. I think he's really sweet though. He actually talks to you, like initiates conversations.
He asked Jianteng what version of his album she liked best then she said the more sunny version instead of cool, then he asked so you don't like the cool version, ahahahahha, but she insisted on sunny version! HAHAHAH so funny. Then my turn, I said "hello", he looked up and said hi I think. Hehehehe, then after signing he thanked me for supporting him you knowwwwww, <3 Then asked "what's your favourite song?" I stunned for a moment because I'm not good with impromptu, but I managed to blurt out "Chameleon", one of the songs on the album. AHAHAHA, lucky I listened to his album the night before, or else won't know what to say! :)
But I think he said something else AFTER I answered but I couldn't hear, and I was like rushing down the stage after I offered to shake his hand and he DID!!!! :D So yeah, pretty bummed that I didn't know what he said after. :s Next time will slowly take my time yes? One step at a time la.... :)
More photos coming soon!

Today was just horrible. Immensely horrible. Indescribably horrible. I cannot even begin to talk about the failure of this horrible day.
I really don't want to go back and think about it, but I feel so... useless, and unaccomplished after coming out of that incident.
And coupled with it being the wrong time of month, for all things to happen, it made things even worse. The tap is leaky. The tap is leaking. Well, it's stopped now, but who knows what will happen when we close our eyes?
I just hope to put it behind me as a learning experience. Let's see if I can see it that way. So embarrassed, frustrated, and weak. Weak weak weak.
The conversation's getting stale
If you won't point it out, then I will
