I wanna play this at my wedding
Someone sent me this song some time back, didn't appreciate it until recently.. Don't you think it's perfect for weddings?

Vulnerable
At the end of the day, I guess I still have the girl in me, and there's still just some things that I can't deal with.

Feeling the pressure
I think it's just one of those days I'm feeling disorganised again, and it's high time I start carrying my organiser everywhere again.
And then, recently I realised I've been spending alot on god knows what, and my sister just got me a gladiator heels (yesssssssssssssssssss and loving it, thanks sis!)
With project deadlines and exams round the corner, plus NTS, TC & the party site bugging me at the back of my mind as well as endless trainings (not that I don't enjoy but sometimes I think I'm just thinking too much during them) ... someone pointed out I hardly have any me time to myself which I kinda agree and that's what my Dad and Grams have been telling me about - but isn't uni life supposed to be like that?
I don't wanna leave Uni thinking that I should have gone on exchange, gone to NOC, should have joined this, should have joined hall - basically I don't wanna leave with regrets not enjoying the last phase of my education.
Today is my brother's birthday, so just let me show you a photo of my suave brother during his POP when he was 19:-

The Accident Prone Days
Just realised how much I've been getting myself injured, and with insufficient sleep and lack of proper nutrition I'm having a outbreak catastrophe help meeeee
And I have an evil friend by the name of Lin RuoCi, who can't believe that I cut my tongue when I banged into Wongs during a Handball game, and said "Huh your tongue so short still can kena bitten huh"
With an injured tongue, I sound like someone with lisp.
And tell me about running into Volleyball nets and getting abrasion is damn sian, kicking my own knee is crazy, I think I should start watching out zzzz

The Once So Familiar...
Nissin mushroom chicken flavoured cup noodle with egg tasted foreign,
the comfort calls, the concern and the calming voice whenever Simba ran out of the house to create trouble... wherever has that gone this morning?

On Thanks, Sorry & Bad Service
Being a Singaporean myself, I am guilty of displaying acts of an ugly Singaporean sometimes.
But it's been far too many times where I find myself opening doors for people, and they just walk through as though it's something I ought to do for them, without even saying a word of "thanks" (or even an effort of mumbling something). Mind you, I get that all the time while I'm at the NUS library, and it just gets on my nerves how fellow schoolmates having at least completed 10 years of education can be so rude! How ironic - is that what we take away from the Singapore's education system? And just this afternoon while I was at favourite Starbucks @ Vivo, I noticed this guy needed my help to unplug his charger from the powerpoint. So of course without any further prompting I went ahead while he just stood there, took the charger from me and walked away, ignoring the past few seconds of kind help that I have offered!
If the act of saying "thanks" is such a difficult task to many, "sorry" would probably be an impossible task, yes? Just recall the moments where people bump into you, walk off without apologising and then you start cursing under your breath, secretly hoping he or she slips and fall on a banana skin. Seriously? Once, I even had the encounter of this lady who opened my toilet door while I was answering the call of nature, exposing me to the world (there goes my chastity) AND DIDN'T APOLOGISE TO ME WHEN I CAME OUT OF THE TOILET, NOR EVEN APOLOGISING PROFUSELY DURING THE MOMENTS OF AWKWARDNESS WHEN MY BUTTCHEEKS WERE STARING OUT AT THE LONG QUEUE OF PEOPLE WAITING OUTSIDE THE CUBICLE!
Need me to say more? I guess as people get more and more educated, they get more and more insensitive towards others, yes? If you realised - majority of good, polite sales staff sadly aren't Singaporeans. It's sad to see the GEMS campaign staring right in your face while you're receiving bad service attitude. Today, I just had one from a particular cosmetics company which starts with an "i" and perhaps if you followed my twitter closely enough, you would know which company I am referring to. Maybe... its because I am a student + shabbily dressed (hello I was just popping by before heading home, so I need not make a trip out tomorrow again) = a bad attitude. But really, I think theseneed MUST be changed.
The reason why I said so is, as much as a company embarks on the search for a brand ambassador (e.g. you see Joanne Peh endorsing Jetstar, trying to create that youthful image and associating the brand with people falling within the same age group as Joanne) but how much will it work when the front line staff gives a poor, lazy and can't-be-bothered attitude? I say, they are the brand ambassadors who truly represent your brands because they are the ones who influence the buyers right on the spot, and they are the deciding factor whether the customer stays on to buy your products and have a higher returning visit, or leave the shop and start bitching about your staff on her blog, swearing never to return again.
Well, I fall in the latter.
