inspire me!
faced with an utter lack of inspiration, i typed in "inspiration" in the imagesearch on getty images, just to see how it's represented visually, and got this. yeah. that lightbulb. that's it. i need that.
for all things pertaining to the english essay draft due tomorrow, i am uninspired.
i'm sitting here infront of the computer screen, trying to work up the mood to write an essay. i am not the type who can pick up a pen and the words will just flow out ceaselessly, like i was born to write. i wish. it takes so much more than that, it's hard for me to write without that spark, that sudden brainwave.
now i'm blog hopping, in search of any thread of inspiration. it's interesting to find blogs of people around you, especially those you'd never expect to have one. delving into their thoughts, their mindless ramblings. i think more than anything, i draw inspiration from people.

this was another image i got.
the sight of fortune cookies reminded me of something.
we were joking outside the exam hall yesterday, while waiting to take the econs mid terms. we came up with the idea of putting all our little bits of information and important equations into fortune cookies and bringing it into the exam hall. eventually we all had a pretty hilarious thought that in the process of looking for the correct equation or info needed to answer the questions, we'd just keep furiously breaking them open, creating this nice little mountain of crumbs at the foot of the table.
hahaha.
rahhhh.
lightbulb, where art thou!

linger.
i'm so glad i'm over and done with econs mid terms. it's like getting a huge load off my shoulders.the paper was tricky and required lots of thinking so by the time i got to the forty something mcq question (there was 53 in total), i was almost seeing stars. but then came one question which lightened to mood.
the question itself was normal enough, but when i was going through the options, one of the typos made me laugh to myself. i can't quite remember what it was exactly, but it went something like:
"...causes the curve to shit to the...."
comic relief for the stressed econs student.
i was so tempted to pick Will Smith when asked who wrote The Wealth of Nations.
dinner time. off.

say hello, billiard noob.
music: angel by sarah mclachlan and josh grobanyesterday was my first time ever playing billiard. i sucked at it. enough said.
the weather is absolutely killing me. if only airconditioning was free! watched american beauty just now. really really worth watching. think think think.
pffft. i would really love to go for a live8 concert.
i think this weather and studying econs will drive anyone to a point of, uhhh, okay i can't find a word for that. breaking point would be too extreme cause if that were true, i wouldn't be sitting here blogging. instead, i'd probably be sitting in a corner sobbing uncontrollably whilst tearing my econs notes into millions of pieces.
oh well.

come what may!
TAKE CARE ALVIN! GO KICK ASS IN HARVARD. (: and so, alvin has flown off to a faraway land to pursue his dreams! since his flight was early in the morning, we had a grand send-off for him yesterday at the dim sum buffet! okay, we were greedy too. but that does not make us any less sincere. (yeah, right.)
since it was eat all you can, we did as they stated and ate all we could.
we reduced three rounds of that mountain above, to this. on the left is food man with freckles, and on the right is food man with rosy cheeks. on the bottom, well, are the artists. say hello, everyone.
pick one.
photo, minus yinling. (alvin is gay!)
with yinling. the guy shook, so it's not your double vision.
watched 10 Things I Hate About You just now. sweet show. (: off to do english now. i am tired!

all things beautiful.
KUSHIN-BO! YOU HAVE GOT TO GO EAT THERE.seriously. a jap buffet worth having. went there with alvin and yinling today.
it was sooo packed. anyhow, apologies for the lack of photos of the food itself, but it was so yummy that i only thought of taking photos when we got to dessert.
my favourite thing there was the sashimi. mmmmm. that was superb. SIANYING, BE JEALOUS. NYAHAHAHA.
dessert.
yinling's shoes, which are always noteworthy.
yinling! i think she has grown prettier. (: anyhow, suntec has this cool new fountain thingo shown in the background it changes with the music. cool eh?i am so full i want to burst. but man, that was worth it.

meet the bear of my heart!
here, is PIGU. my 14 going on 15 year old, pink, sleepy bear. and yes, he's called, pigu, chinese for butt. well, i was two and my sis was four when we named him, so don't blame us for naming him after his big butt. (:
haha. i'm too attached to him. :D
anyhow, i am dying of boredom from studying the last two days. and ta-daaa. i decided to do random online quizzes, since i don't game or spend my life making virtual friends or whatever. so, there.
| You Are a Daisy |
 You see the world with an artist's eye. Finding beauty is easy for you - even in the dullest of moments. You notice all of the colors of the world, from fresh grass to sunsets. You are a total optimist and hedonist. You love to drink life in. |
nice, since my favourite flower is the daisy. (: haha. i apologise. but in my house, the next best thing to studying is pretending to be studying. and that rules out alot of other more interesting forms of entertainment.

self-worth.
don't ever put in less effort than you can afford,because you are worth more than that.
don't ever compromise your beliefs simply for convenience,
because you are worth more than that.
don't ever let little, insignificant things get you down,
because you are worth more than that.
don't ever quit on yourself,
because it's not even worth it.
self-worth, i like that word.
