I'm thinking of moving to a blog for more serious stuff (food, photography, illustration, design, reviews etc) but I like it here, so perhaps this will be my personal journal. Will not be locked because of non-LJ friends who read sometimes, but all the wow-ee stuff will be on a blog or a proper webhost. What's left here will be the usual drivel and lame photobooth stuff, haha. So what do you think? Should I do that or not...

Dawn is IM-ing me. She is sitting beside me. Bored students. Yeah.

 Hey Natty, here's me in glasses!
And I snipped my fringe a little. It ended up too short but thankfully my hair grows back fast. 

 Sheeeet. I have way too many polka dot stuff. Pencil case, mini planner, wallet, the Dorothy Perkins tote and... all those polka dot clothes. And I still eye other polka dot items. I don't have a pair of polka dot socks, but I know I will buy them when I see them (if they're not in disgusting colours). What's with me?! Is this a disease? Why am I fixated with repetitive circles? Did it really hypnotize me? 被吹眠了！

And I swear, the day he wears or owns something that has polka dots, is the day I go up to him, put on a solemn face and ask him to date me. *严肃* 请你和我交往吧！我最讨厌男生带着polka dots, 尤其是你, 不过我有affliction with polka dots！我要跟你交往不可！*扯着*

That is also the day Earth will start spinning the other way round. 地球向另一个方向转！哇靠！

其实根本都没去想他. 这全部都是polka dots所害的. 刚才也一直为了要让自己适应读汉字所以拼命读中文翻译漫画. 读了不良仔与眼镜妹, 超酷的... 结果自己的功课没继续画画多一点 〜沮丧〜

如果我能和足立花一样, 带上眼镜, 绑辫子, 让后样子默默地变的超普通, 我的世界可能会变得跟容易活呀～

 Went with George to Papa Palheta at Hooper Road (somewhere along Bukit Timah). It's located somewhere behind and the entrance in is through the backdoor. The awesome thing about Papa Palheta is that they roast their own coffee. Originally it's a coffee tasting bar so people will know how the coffee is like before buying the beans, but they're slowly becoming more like a cafe, serving coffee beverages and muffins.

I had an iced mocha. Without sugar. The hint of sweetness came from the milk and chocolate sauce. At a regular coffee chain, I usually have liquid sugar added to any iced coffee beverage (as you all know that I have a raging sweet tooth). This is how awesome their coffee is!

More shouting and arguing at home today. I really hope that's the last of it. I was having dinner in the living room quietly, and without a word I ran out of the house.
I tried my best not to let a tear roll down my face and thought of nice things. I played with the cats and sat on staircases, daydreaming a little about the person I never knew. I calmed down quite quickly and took a short stroll around.

I'm in the comfort of my home now. My mother was very worried. She mock-punched my shoulder and said I should never do that again.

For some reason, be it the first house, second house or third house, I always happen to be there and witness stuff like that.
I'm a little tired, and want to sleep, but I need to create 24 ideas for the studio project before I can rest for tomorrow's 9am class.


In future, all I'll remember of him is that back view...

 Saw my granddad sneak out of his room at 2am and massaging my granny's shoulder and fingers. They had a big argument two days ago. Granddad says granny is tired from all the cookie making for Chinese New Year. Maybe there's something sweet and lasting about marriage after all.

 My first design-related paid job!
It's a small job... the paycheck isn't big... It's a baby step... But I'm happy.

If all goes well, my illustration will be on a book in Nagoya University!

 Meeting the advertising guys for the D&AD project on Monday! Okay, at least one of them made the move to choose one of the advertising projects, which means we're heading somewhere already... then there's my own two D&AD projects :O must strive!

Brendan seems to be having some problems at home :( Such unfortunate timing really, since it's the last semester to go through. All the best to you, buddy!

My granny is making pork floss rolls for CNY. My mother is doing her cookie orders. My granddad is napping. I'm... on Livejournal, writing my silly entries. I gotta go soon though, to do more アヒル/poulet illustrations. $150!!!

 I got a nagging feeling that the advertising guys don't really wanna do the D&AD project, and that they're just gonna make me do most of the work. Meh. It's okay, I have two other solo D&AD projects. I just need one to show, that's all... I'm not going to push them because I've got quite a lot of projects on my hands already ): I am hardly a groupwork person, but this time I decided to team up with them because I thought they can actually produce some great stuff if they let themselves do so, and I'd gladly back them up. I'm not complaining if they don't want to... And I won't be mad at them. They're good friends, just not hard workers.

Missed out on lunch and minton with the chums today :( I've got to start on the two D&AD projects, on top of studio work, essay and DRM. Byebye leisurely weekend!
