Random Updates

Hey what's up. It's been a pretty long time since I last updated. I don't really know who reads this site anymore. But heck, I'm still gonna' keep this blog going because there's just too much good and bad memories in it to literally let it go.


Anyways, if you've been wondering as to what I've been up to during the holidays (yes, I'm a week over the holidays, but who cares?), then here's a pretty short update about my boring Life.


Well, I didn't get a job during the holidays because I told my parents that I wanted to make full use/ waste the entire of my holidays doing stuff on my own, be it rot to death at home or hand out with some friends. They were pretty skeptical about it, but I managed to convince them, adding that I should have full control of my Life, so that when I grow older like them, I wouldn't have to reminisce about my youth with full of regrets, wishing I could turn back time to rot to death or do stuff that I didn't have a chance to do. In short, I just didn't want to force myself into the working scene just yet. I know I'm not rich, but it doesn't necessarily mean I have to make myself addicted to the smell of money or the sensation of having bundles of it in my hand, and then spend it ridiculously on things bought on impulse.


Maybe it's just a lame excuse to not get a job. Moving on...



The holidays weren't really pathetic. I managed to down 8 books (yes, I love to read).

  1. Ugly by Constance Briscoe
  2. Damaged by Cathy Glass
  3. Ghost Girl by Torey Hayden
  4. Please Don't Make Me Go by John Fenton
  5. When Daddy Comes Home by Toni Maguire
  6. Twilight Children by Torey Hayden
  7. My Friend Leonard by James Frey
  8. We Are All The Same by Jim Wooten

The contents of these 8 books are phenomenal. There is no one best book to pick out of this lot. You should really get your hands on these books. They can be found in the Health Section in the Singapore Library, Humanities in Page One, Literature/biographies in other shops like Popular, but the best description for these books can be found at Kinokuniya, which labels these books as 'Survival Literature'.



Other than reading, I did meet Syuh and Jeanice occasionally.







One such event was when we visited Swensen's Ice Cream buffet. It was pretty neat, but we didn't last long as we were cold and could not go more than 4 rounds. However, it was still pretty nice to be all crazy and high on sugar with them.









Moving on...


I actually planned on changing my blogskin. My inspiration came from Shark Boy and Lava Girl (I love watching that show).


Shark boy & Lava Girl Pictures, Images and Photos







I loved the idea of the guy dreaming his way out of trouble, and Lava girl's hair (haha!), and so, I came up with this:




Wallpaper

It's created entirely from Photoshop. If you take a closer look at my hair, it's PINK! But it's not pink in real life lah, I just edited because it looks pretty nice here.

I found a few other colours that I liked while I was messing around with my hair on Photoshop. I'll show it on another day. Anyways, after completing it, I found that I didn't really like it that much, so I've decided to scrap this off, and come up with another skin which is still under construction.



Well, I guess that's it for now.



Till then!





Loves.
