A nose that runs

My nose is running the whole afternoon!!!
Cannot stand it cos I kept sneezing and sneezing non-stop!!
Had an impromptu meetup with Joanne and I’m so afraid that I might die of running nose; so I brought along 5 packet of tissues there!!!! HAHAHA. Luckily, my flu subsided after popping 2 flu panadols.

I hate it when my nose tries to run away from me.

Ah. Okay. I did try to smile for one picture. HAHA.
I’m a little tired and sick. Guess I’m going to sleep soon.

 

What do you do when you miss a person?
I’ll try to focus on something else instead. But at the end of the day, that something you are focusing on will end and you’ll be back to missing that person.
Every night I could have got onto bed earlier, but I stayed up just to make sure everything’s fine and safe.
It kills when you miss a person too much.

Will anyone out there think of me too? Do I have that bit of anyone’s time ?

Of Roses, Ice-Cream and Tea

I finally found my god damm USB adaptor!!! It went missing before I went for my exams and I couldn’t find it no matter where. And this morning, I found it lying between a bunch of black wires. Argh.

 

Anw, went out with Ah Jun today!! It’s always nice to go out with her cos we’ll always have lots to talk about – from cosmetics to skincare to the people around us and even to random topics like how scary gorilla can be. LOL.

Have been dying to change a new hairstyle. Almost wanted to have silky long rebonded hair with bangs. But I gave up the idea cos there’s just too much girls with this hairstyle.  I saw like 3 to 4 girls with this hairstyle on the bus yesterday!! So I’ve decided to let my curls loosen up and we’ll see how it goes. But I’m dying my hair BLACK soon.

Tom’s Palette ice-cream at Shaw Beach Road!!! Really yummylicious!!
We had 4 unqiue flavours; Granny’s Favourite, Berries, Lychee with Peach, Chocolate with stout. Yeah. BEER STOUT.

Tea-dot at iluma thereafter.

It was such a great day out with Jun!!
And till then, when we meet again.

P/S: I love my eye makeup yesterday!! Sparkling Sparkling. lol.

How to be a Better Friend

I was reading a book and there’s this very interesting article I’d like to share with everyone!
I’ll be sharing more of such articles if I happen to see any in the future! ^ ^

 

Back when we were kids, the hours spent with friends were too numerous to count. There were marathon telephone conversations, all-night studying and giggling sessions. Even after boyfriends entered the picture, our best friends remained irreplaceable. And time was the means by which we nurtured those friendships. Now as adult women we never seem to have enough time for anything. …. And yet, ironically, we need our friends as much as ever in adulthood.  A friendship network is absolutely crucial for our well-being as adults. We have to do the hard work of building and sustaining the net work.

Here are some important ways for accomplishing this:

Let go of your less central friendships

Many of our friendships were never meant to last a lifetime. It’s natural that some friendships have time limits. Furthermore, now everyone has a busy social calender, so pull back from some people that you don’t really want to draw close to and give the most promising friendship a fair chance to grow.

 

Be willing to “drop everything” when you’re truly needed

You may get a call from a friend who is really depressed over a certain problem when you are just sitting down to enjoy a romantic dinner with your husband. This is just one of those instances when a friend’s needs mattered more. Sometimes, because of our unbreakable commitments or other circumstances, we simply can’t give a needy friend the time we’d like.  If you can’t be there at that given moment, say something like, “I wish I could be there with you — I can hear that you’re in pain. May I call you tomorrow?”  Be sure your friend knows she is cared about.

 

Take advantage of the mails

Nearly all of us have pals living far away — friends we miss very much. Given the limited time available for visits and the high price of phone calls, writing is a fine way to keep in touch, and makes both sender and receiver feel good. Besides, letters, cards and postcards have the virtue of being tangible — friends can keep them and reread them for years to come

Risk expressing negative feelings

When time together is tough to come by, it’s natural to want the mood during that time to be upbeat. And many people fear that others will think less of you if you express negative feelings like anger and hurt. Remember honesty is the key to keeping a friendship real. Sharing your pain will usually deepen a friendship.

 

Don’t make your friends’ problems you own

Sharing your friend’s grief is the way you show deep friendship. But taking on your friend’s pain doesn’t make the pain go way. There’s a big difference between empathy or recognizing a friend’s pain. And over identification, which makes the sufferer feel even weaker . Remember troubled people just need their friends to stay grounded in their own feelings.

Never underestimate the value of loyalty

Loyalty has always been rated as one of the most desired qualities in friends. True loyalty can be a fairly subtle thing. Some people feel it means that, no matter what, your friend will always take your side. But real loyalty is accepting the person, not necessarily of certain actions your friend might take.

Give them the time as often as time allows

Time is what we don’t have enough of — and yet, armed with a little ingenuity, we can make it to give it to our friends. The trick is remembering that a little is better than none and that you can do two things at once. For instance, if you both go for a weekly aerobics, go on the same day. If you both want to go on vacation, schedule the same destination.

New Play

Had just gotten my script for the play a few days back. It’s a play with only 2 actresses; Phoebe and me.
Had our first rehearsal today and I’m still trying hard to develop the character.

Good thing for me is this character is yet another different type of personality which I have to portray.
From the conservative 30s, to a blind girl and then to this young lady with a little 小聪明 …….
It’s always good to have new things to try, though the beginning is always tough.

But yup, I’m sure Phoebe and I will make it! FTW!

It will be staged on Jan 30, together with 2 other plays. Details to be confirmed. Do support us!

P/S: Have just gotten a facial and a hair trim. Looking like a doll again with my bangs. HA!

End of Semester One

From my twitter updates, you’d have known that my exams ended TODAY!! Super duper happy!!!
You won’t be able to feel the amount of excitement I have in me for this coming holiday!!!

 

Had my first post-exam activity with some of my classmates!! Went to safra Kbox for a few hours of singing session all the way till 9pm! Shiok or not?!
Since I’m totally free now, I decided to play with photoshop.

My best friend!
Isn’t it awesome to have someone walking through ALL the stages of your schooling life?
And I really mean ALL – From primary school all the way to university.
This is affinity. And I treasure it.

Above are all my closest uni friends. They are all so nice!!!
Semester One has officially come to an end. I’m glad I ended up in this course, knowing flowers.
Though I hated the exams, I still love to study there. The lecturers there are pretty encouraging and nice too.
I’m not sure how much I’d enjoy as a teacher in the future, but at least I’m still glad that I chose this route.
If I wasn’t there, I wouldn’t know where I’d be right now, probably slogging my ass out in SPH. lol.

This guy here is super nice! He’d always lend materials to us and opps, I still have his book with me.

Some of them were singing Fei Lun Hai’s songs and Tiny (on the left) said he didn’t listen to any of their songs.
I said that’s because you are a guy.
Rave (on the right) heard these songs before, but didn’t dare to comment anything cos if he admit he did listen to these songs, it means he is not a guy.
I told Tiny that I don’t listen to Fei Lun Hai’s songs too, and immediately Rave said, “is it because you are a guy?”
WTH. lol.
Ya. I’m a guy in disguise. =.=

Girls Power! My class really has alot of females.
These are not all.

Am glad to widen my social circle abit. In fact, I don’t really know the guys before this outing.
Hah! I’m like totally caged up and in my own world 99% of the time.
Don’t really mingle around, much less to talk to them and get to know them.

The Guys’ rules

This is pretty interesting. Here’s some guidelines to the mind of a guy.

Men are not mind-reader. But we, women expect you to know us inside out!
And crying is blackmail ??! Women is made of water, how can she not cry when a guy makes her sad ?!

okok, I do try my best not to cry in front of a guy, but it can’t be helped sometimes. And since guys are not mind reader, all the more should we cry to let the guy know that we are upset!

Almost forgotten how I look like

It’s beeen soooo long since I last posted any pictures of myself.  Been like soo busy with studying and exams that I didn’t have much time for myself. That’s sad.
I’ve almost forgotten how I look like. =x

So there you have it!

A recent me!

Was ransacking my wardrobe to plan an outfit for Monday’s first post exam activity!!  Seriously in the holiday mood already even though I still have one more paper to go. And I’m glad that the toughest battle of the battle is already OVER. So not gonna care how well can I score for that paper already! But tell you a secret, I actually went to pray last night before this toughest paper took place this morning. HAHA. Cos I took a look at the past year exam paper last night and I was horrified to know that I can’t do like HALF of the paper? Yeah. It was that bad.

So I guess the praying was useful? At least I managed to attempt most of the questions today. ^^

Hoya, I miss Prawn. He is sweet enough to call me at 3am this morning when I am trying to sleep soundly. Zzz. And also a surprise SMS from him just now!!
Why does he always have to go so far far away for work? And the next time I see him, he’d better not have any new bruises or else!

And I need a hair trim like seriously. It’s soooo frizzy and dry!  Planning to dye my hair BLACK soooooon.
I need a facial.
I need shoes.
I need to exercise.
I need humans to accompany me.

HOLIDAY STARTING FROM 23 NOV! BABIES, We can rock the whole day. COME DATE ME OUT OUT OUT!

XOXO,
Vivian

No I guess? Falling in love is always sweet (provided it’s nt one-sided kind).

Name something you are doing tomorrow:
Exam. Zzz… And more studying for the last paper.

Does your phone normally ring in the middle of the night?
Nope. It doesn’t ring in the middle of the night normally.

To whom did you last give the finger to?
Don’t have.

How many hours did you sleep last night?
On bed from 1130 all the way till 6. But I took quite awhile to fall asleep though ..

Ever given your all to someone who walked away?

What else?

Holidays. Me want you badly.
Motivation, wherever have you been?
Exams. I hate exams.

Whether you are in love or not, this is the truth

I was reading the newspaper this morning, and came across this article. He does sound pessimistic about love; but this is how is it sometimes.

Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens  your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life …You give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple phrase like  ‘maybe we should be just friends’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love

-Neil Gaiman

He said love — happens when you open up and let someone in. But because of this, it is inevitable that love hurts sometimes.
