Why is all we ever do is fight?
Why is everytime you open your mouth
You break a little of my heart
And I break a little of yours?

And the broken record
Just keeps playing.

Overslept this morning. AGAIN. Argh! I think it has something to do with me not feeling well ]]: I'm oversleeping a lot recently. Anw. Took the chance to go see the doc again.. Haha me and him are good buddies now LOL! Was told that I won't recover till my assessment week is over cause apparently all the stress and not enough sleep is stopping my body from repairing and getting over the illness. Shall have to bear with being sick for the next 3 weeks then.

-deep breath in.

-whoooooosh outtt! hehe.

Finally bought my printer ink cartridges. :DD Now time for RESEARC!!! Muahaha. Plan to get all my research done by today. The rest I shall figure out later... Less stress vivi. Don't put so much pressure on yourself, you baka!

LOL.

Taking the advice from yoshijason that hugs cure... *huggles self*!

Will be back latr!

Felt really unmotivated to do work today so stayed behind after class to shoot bits of our documentary for the Japan Film Fesitval project for IS with Yakka. Was surprisingly fun hehe (: Also got to enjoy yummy corn bread ice-cream as a reward for all our hard work! :DD

Was also Sunny's 19th birthday today. Glad she liked the windmill thingy and cake we got her [: Went to have lunch at Cafe cartel at PS but yakka nd I don't have much money left so we ended up buying yoghurt and cheap food from carrefour nd eating it instead. being poor officially sucks. Especially when you see a big dish of gorgeous bbq pork ribs. And you can't have it. LOL.

Reached home. Knew I wasn't going to get much done today in my current mood. So sleepy from last night.
Went to visit all my friends' blogs. Spent awhile reading all of man tou's entries. I love his writing. Makes me all warm and happy inside. Miss his entries. Read and re-read them. Reminded me all over again of why I fell in love with him; my sweet, kind, sexy, intelligent boyfriend.

Love you and miss you like crazy Noah.
Everynight I wait for your phone call.
Sometimes while I wait.
I feel like I'm going crazy.

When I'm stressed I think of you and it calms me down.
I wish you were here.
To hold you in my arms.
And feel your strong arms around me.
My face against your chest.
Your heart beating into my ear.
And feel time stop.

I'm not going to cry.

Saturday, please come faster.

Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights

I take you for granted.
I know I do.
But i just can't stop.

Lousy fucking mood today.
Going to cook porridge and start my work once more.
I wish.
I wish I could go back to knowing nothing.

Oh, how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of imaginary light

K.I.L.L.E.R headache this evening when i readhed home coupled with a fever kind of slightly dented my study-plan for tonight... but no worries! Popped it a panadol took a shower and now I'm ready to roll! Keke. Short update before I do tho.

National Museum totally depressed the hell out of me after the audio-tour thingy. ]]: I hate wars. MAKE SWEETCORN BREAD ICE-CREAM NOT WAR! ((:

Anyway. Yep that's it. An uneventful day on the whole. Apart from the piles of stress I felt when Dahlia went through our review week and criteria checklist etc with us during DF. Scared the crap outta me. So many things to rmb to bring, so many things still untouched!!!

Totally motivated me 119% to work like crazy and catch up my work.
Hence the scary work plan for tonight.
And tmr night.
And the night after that...

You get my drift ^_~

checklist for tonight:
1) label all drawings
2) dl and print out checklist, schedule and student help sheet from LP
3) Finish both tonal greyscale studies for DF
4) Finish 1 colour study for DF
5) Finish half-finished perspective for DF
6) Start research for DF and DD

Thank the lord I have already finsihed my 2D for tomorrow :DD

Back for mini upds as I slowly complete my work... hopefully will help me to STAY FOCUSED!!
Woot!~

...And the weekend is over once more. Vivi is suffering from Monday blues xPP Hehe.

Hmm my weekend? Didn't go clubbing at DXO in the end. Had a small private party with my dear bf in my room with my awesome speaker system instead hehe.
Also did absolutely no work at all. No wonder hard-working people make resolutions not to have relationships until school/exams/term etc is over. Cause it's really hard to choose work over fun when you've got someone to have it with!! Gosh...
And now I am officially suffering lol. Two tonal studies are due for tmr along with a perspective due from the week before which is only still half done. Gahh... x_X

BUT. On the plus side, I accompanied Yaya to go shopping at Surfer Girl at the CityLink nd I got my xmas presents from my rents to me! Hehe! In the form of:
1) ONE black denim jacket
2) ONE white (smth like denim) jacket
3) ONE long sleeved thin grey top

GORGEOUS!! haha needed some new clothes... I also bought something of a sleeveless loose affair that makes me look like a boy. Which is perfect (: Also got myself 3 pairs of colour lenses to play with: some kind of dark green thing, an aqua sort of blue nd GREY!! Hehe.

Now i'm home once again and procrastinating the hwk I inevitably need to do till Ya calls me after she hangs up with Jan Ooi so tht we can keep each other awake while drawing. Meanwhile I may take a little nap xDD A little tired out from trying out clothes from earlier. Hehe.

ps: yaya made the most adorable cookies nd gave some to me all wrapped up nicely... scrummy! thx thx yaya cookiesareLOVE(: lov ya babe. x

9:14 PM

Friday, October 19, 2007

Finished my pasting on my wire cubbie. Now collecting items to do my tonal shading still life for Dahlia.
Took a short break to steal this cute widget from JunJie's blog and add it to mine :DD
Contemplating whether or not to cook food as I didn't eat lunch and now my stomach is protesting a little.
Feeling demoralized by the work I have yet to do.
Trying to decide whether or not to go clubbing tmr.
Tix are cheap. But there's a theme. Which if I go, I will not be dressing according to. Lol. Retro me? hehe.

But so much work...
And I've been wanting to go to the beach for a long time...

Ahh decisions, decisions...
Which I suck at making! ^_~
lol.

6:38 PM

Overdue picture spam of my new hurr! [[:

3:25 PM

Woke up late didn't go HweeHwee's class in the end which was a blessing in disguise apparently as the lesson was a total waste of time according to my friends. Went to go for my follow-up check up with the doc. My cough is getting better. On the minus side though, I've got even more meds to eat now. x_x

Finished all my outlines for 2D while waiting to see the doc. Now gonna finish paper covering my wire cube then gonna do some drawings. And then some more drawings. And then finish colouring in my 2D etc. Then hopefully do some research. And maybe a little 3D.

I'm being a bit ambitious aren't I?
Hehe. Well it's ok cause I'm in a good mood.

btw note: HAPPY BDAE TO MY GORGEOUS MOMMA!! [[: miss u like crazy, wish I culd be there for ur bday but since i'm not, sending ya loads of huggs nd kissess... hup u have a great day [:

And... Whee! Noah's coming out of camp tmr. [[[:
love.

2:38 PM

Oh wow. I just finally finished my perspective drawing of the corridor outside. I can't believe I sat outside on the cold hard floor and drew for 3 hours. It took me 3 hours to draw one stupid perspective! It's now 3 am :D

Lol. But at least I didn't give up... I almost did at the beginning cause I couldn't even get started. x_X
But yay - I did it! (:

Now I'm talking to Noah on the phone for a bit then I'll be off to take a shower then to start my 2D. I don't think I can take much more drawing for the moment. xDD

Hopefully will get to slp a bit before I have to wake early for HweeHwee's class tmr. :P

2:54 AM

Thursday, October 18, 2007

It's 11.02pm. Just reached hme after a longgg day of drawing 2D at TCC cafe (miserable attempt to lessen my pileup of work =_=").

Quick blog quick shower then I'm off to sit outside on the cold hard floor to be attacked by numerous mosquitos while I fail horribly to draw a perspective of my corridor.

Gah. Gah gah gahhhhh. =S And when I'm finally done with that I shall endeavor to make a start on one of the still lives that I owe Dahlia. And when I give up on that, I shall try my best to finish at least the rest of my 2D, some research or some of the cross-contour/foreshortening drawings that I STILL owe HweeHwee from ages ago. ]]:

I have a long and busy night ahead of me.
And a long and busy Friday for me.
Followed by an even longer weekend for me.

Cannot. Must not fall behind any farther.

jia you vivi!! (:

ROARRRRR RAHHHHHHHHH!

Hehe.

11:02 PM

Why is it that my alalrm NEVER wakes me up??
I'm lucky my class starts at 11am today.
><

BUT. din't get as much work as I'd have liked to last night cause the friggin alarm din't wake me. ]]:
The world is conspiring against me isn't it? Isn't it?!
Or at least the world of alarm clocks.
Hehe.

Just now something freakin scary happened when Ya was drawing downstairs in the study. Not going to write about it now, maybe tomorrow when it's bright outside. I didn't want to tell her cause I din't want to make the situation any worse but I'm actually freakin scared right now. Especially since I'm alone in the house. But yeap.

Tonight I was hoping for 1 good night's sleep even though I still have piles of work to do and then Ya dropped bomb on me that must do 3 more contour drawings.

Hmm... Sorry for the very short hiatus. I'm now blogging from an expensive mac com at my school in the middle of an incredibly boring IT lesson. Haha. I have never been so bored of photoshop. xP

Ok. Hmm. Oh ya.. my last post. My aunt is still in the hospital but she's doin a lot bettr now so everything's good. Hopefully she can go hme soon. (:

Night before last I stayed up all night to chiong my 3D project cause I thought mon would have assessment for 3D, then... argh! No real assessment during the lesson! So stupid right? Grr. Lol. On the bright side though, my head's now almost done haha! Just gotta add the hair nd some minor bits. Whee!

Gonna cut my hair later :D I wanna bleach it white with a thick chunk of blue on one side... thoughts anyone?? Hehe. Ur replies will be a bit late tho lol cause by the time I reach hme nd read it my hair will already be newly cut and dyed :DD keke.

My aunt just collapsed and is in the ICU.
Rushing over to the hospital now.
I'm so worried. ]:

9:29 AM

Wed:
Went to the party at school late cause was actually gonna head over to B.R with Yaya after finally finishing my two overdue proportion drawings for HweeHwee. Then decided to go to sch first as most of our classmates were already there. Went. Ate a bit. Drank a bit. Walked a bit. Talked a lot. Took some photos. Alright on the whole but it got boring after awhile. Saw Mandy, wanted to go talk to her but was bz at the time and culdn't find her afterwards. xPP

Left in the search of coffee and walked over to Cathay where Meng, Cyn, Denny, Hana and Sunny got seats while me yaya and ashley went to go buy my stupid mouse for the photoshop (which i am using right now! :D)

Ate a lot of nice free jap ice cream (tasters! hehe) and yummy gooey subway cookies before heading back to Stabucks to chill. Denny and Hana left after awhile but none of us wanted to go home. Voyaged over to 7-11 where we bought drinks and basically just sat outside on the ground outside 7-11 and drank in a circle talkin abt clubbing. Not much choice xP Breezers only had lime and peach a few types of beers so i got a long island tea instead. Was great fun. (: Reached home arnd midnight where I just plopped into bed.

Thurs:
Woke up later than scheduled (had planned to do my photoshop in the morning since i stayed out and drank at night) didn't do squat and made my way over to yaya's where (YAY!!!!) we actually finished our 2 2D chromatic greyscale paintings and the foreshortening drawing XDDD!

Went out to Far East to celebrate and shop. Couldn't find anything nice. xP Found my black Lolita dress but then was wondering whether or not to buy it cause it's damn expensive and I probably wouldn't wear it that often cause it's so so girly xP

Decided not to buy in the end. Wait and see :D hehe. Also a bit broke ma. All the money I saved from working is slowly dwindling. School supplies so ex ]: I shall probably need to find work during the xmas hols. Also had a misunderstanding with Noah so that really fked up my mood. But got it sorted out. So went to sleep happy ^^

Today:
Updated (: Will be going to Yaya's again latr for the 3D wire head thing I think. I wanna finish the head by today. Haha. Stupid head. Will do photoshop again at night and finish off the last of my drawings and everything hopefully (fingers crossed) by friday afternoon when Baby books out. Yay!

Go me!
Hehe!

7:59 AM

Wednesday, October 3, 2007

Woke up late ]:
Rushed down to start on my drawings. Couldn't get the proportion correct. Retried 3 times. Kept rubbing stuff out. Finally gave up. Will do it tonight. No matter how tired I am. ]: This sucks.
Then went on to do more labelling of research and finally finished cutting and pasting all of my CCS pics into my sketchbook.
Am now going to take a quick shower and a break. Then at noon I'm gonna start my photoshop. Don't think I'm gonna be able to go out to Far East anymore. ]: Don't even feel like going to the party at school later. Me behind in my work which means that when Noah comes out in the weekend I may not be as free. So must work harder.
Urgh.
Like I said.. This sucks. xP

11:07 AM

Tuesday, October 2, 2007

Today has been a sucky day.

Meant to wake up at 6am to do work, ended up snoozing till 7am instead. Then finally finished all my I.S stuff and a bit of my 2D and no 3D. Then I was supposed to finsih off doing some drawings which I was supposed to have done but haven't done yet xP but instead fell asleep on the couch after talking to my mutti.

My nap lasted 2+ hours. It's now 6:30pm and I still haven't finished my drawings yet. I really don't want them to drag onto tmr cause tmr's my photoshop day and I want to go Far East to see some clothes at Blood Romance.

And for some incredibly wierd reason, I'm craving to buy a pair of super sweet, super girly, super high high heels. :DD

Tommy Catzenbaum is a funny name. Lol.
Tom cat. Keke.

Am going upstairs to do some drawing now. :P wish me luck!

6:26 PM

Monday, October 1, 2007

Oh! Before I get started on today I forgot to mention smth. On Saturday, when Baby came over, he bought me a present!

See the pretty wrapper? I'm all his, yes I am! (:

And it was all wrapped up so pretty too! Kekes!

So pink underneath all the pretty wrapper! xP

Kawaii~~! right?? Hehe!

So thanks Baby for the pressie! I loved it.. esp with the special meaning behind it (those who've watched My Girl will get it :DD) and I'm sorry I forgot to mention it in the entry before..

Ok... Today. Went to help out at the exhibition. Not bad actually, was kind of fun xP. Got depressed looking at all the amazing work tho... Cause everyone knows only the good stuff gets to be put into an exhibition. xP But who cares when it's that good!
Walked around Bugist St with Ya and helped her pay for her cute white cosplay dress type thing for Halloween first. She now owes me $126. It's amazing how trusting I am with lending my money eh? ^_~ -jks!
Reserved 2 things for myself but will visit Far East once more before I decide whether or not I want to get them.. Hmm. How I hate decisions.
Then met my mutti for amazingly yummy Din Tai Fung. Mmm! Keke.

Now slacking again cause I don't feel like doing work. What is wrong with me??!! I still have so much left to do...

Somebody motivate me please?? ]:

8:59 PM

Woke up early (at 6am) so that I could get a tiny bit of work done before I have to start getting ready for school at 8am since I slept so early last night after talking to Baby.

I've just realised how hilarious I.S is. Lol!

BTW: the date for my entries are all screwed up cause there's no way it's still sunday. xP Oh how I wish... :DD

6:24 AM
