Nokia C7

My handphone keeps hanging so i'm kinda thinking about buying a new phone: Nokia C7

It looks interesting and durable. Also, it's chic :) (to me that is) i've even went online to check it out.
It has 3.5" capacitive touch display, 8 megapixel camera, 3.5G, Wi-Fi and A-GPS enabled. 8GB internal memory and Bluetooth 3.0 which i love so i can exchange stuff with friends. i like iphone but the fact that it does not have bluetooth irks me plus i've been following Nokia ever since, what? 12? about there... and i hate to change my interest of handphone brands because i'm quite comfortable with Nokia already. Unfortunately, it's going to take quite a lot of convincing to get my dad to pay part of the phone for me as the damn thing is $560 and the amount from my savings that i am only able to spend (as the rest of my savings are to buy necessities for poly) is only about $160. sooo, my dad has to help me pay $400. sign....

At the moment...

i won't be watching the social network anytime soon because currently, i'm quite busy. By busy, i mean that i have a lot of books to read... everytime i enter the library, i will ultimately borrow a book or two so it takes a lot of will power to force myself to leave the place without borrowing any book. I have no idea what it is but i just can't help myself. sooo, my bookshelve is filled with books from the library. And that's not all, another thing is that i read incredibly SLOW!!! I can't help it that i read books word for word. Almost everyone i know skims through the pages or only read the important parts and eventually finishes the whole damned book within a friggin day! i can't do that because i can't skim (and even if i skim, i still don't understand what it will be saying). Also, i can't pick out the important parts and will eventually see the whole page as important. Therefore, it will take some time for me to finish my books to finally watch the social network.

Facebook Movie

Yes, as all of you may know, there is a movie about facebook and it's called the social network. and it's getting raves and reviews from all around the world. Plus, countless awards like Academy award winner, Golden globe awards best picture, critics choice award best picture, american cinema editors best editing, writers guild of america best adapted screenplay, Best score, Best Director, Best actor and many more. There are many awards of course, but is it that great? i'm really curious as to why it garnering that many awards... i've heard that the movie had a sad ending. My sister avoids movies that has a ending but i don't mind as long as the movie gives me something to think about in the end. Therefore, i intend to find out myself by checking out the movie... So stay tuned, hahas, for MY review...

Facebook

You know, i wasn't very much interested in facebook at the first place but when all the friends you have appear to have an account of that site, you just have to follow suit.. So, i started my own account early last year (2010) and very soon, i began to understand what's soo very addictive about it. There's photos to uploas and look at, comments to laugh and critisice silently and see whats going on in the life of your friends. But i stopped myself b4 i got too addicted (because i kept uploading photos). Then i only allowed myself to go into facebook a 2-3 times a week to concentrate on my studies. But now that my examinations ended, HELLO ADDICTION...
Then, yesterday, i made my very first post :) i had one 'like' and 2 comments. It wasn't that bad... i thought nobody would care to comment on what i said but i was obviously wrong :)
it's great to comment. but i think very soon, i'll be uploading photos again. there should be like a bracelet that reminds you and stuff to stop going into facebook. and i'm saying that in a totally sarcastic way...

Cupcakes

Today, my sister just finished her examinations and decided to make cupcakes. Now, i'm not trying to take some credit here but i did help with the icing :) And may i say, my designs were very creative.

Chalet at Pasir Ris

My class arranged a 3D2N chalet at Pasir ris and it was sooo cool! it's a bungalow with 4 rooms. each room has it's own toilet. yup... it was super great. But! (there's always a 'but') it was not fun, there's no bonding going on and everyone just do about their own biz... (except for the really extroverted guys and gals) there was actually a previous chalet arranged and it was actually much better. Though the previous chalet only had two rooms, everyone were bonding and it was pleasantly fun to hang out. The guys and gals actually slept on their own rooms but by the 2nd night, everybody were sleeping everywhere around the chalet apartment. some on the sofa, many on the floor, some on the beds. There were bonding here, there, everywhere! Hahas, it was wonderful. however, this chalet had lesser people and lesser the fun for some of us. I guess it doesn't matter whether there are bonding or not. This 2nd chalet unfortunately, made me see that our class may be close but not that close in terms of comfortability. This was because the whole time my 3 friends and i were there, they didn't talk much with the others. It's like they didn't find it comfortable to chat with the rest while i find it okay. like 'family' kind of feeling. This time, the second chalet, our teachers don't have the time to come and visit us cuz it's weekday (THE school day). Sad, there are the pros and cons i do agree... it's great that we don't have to share the same toilet with the guys cuz they can get really messy... i still miss class lessons when we hanged out though, it's much more fun than any chalet.

P.S  the enrolment procedures are done for my admission into my course. Do hope everything goes smoothly.

Best Day Of My Life (in terms of food)

I could only blog about this now because my laptop's network kinda broke down so i am using the library's resources.
The day i am talking about is 9/02/2011. First, i had curry crab for breakfast- yes, not what you would expect for breakfast but it is still food. Chicken rice for lunch, had a chocolate waffle later on. Then, for dinner, Beef Lasagna, about 3 sweet and spicy drumlets from pizza hut and a few bites of hawaiian pizza. i looved it!!! It was great :) My stomach was very very happy. i know this isn't healthy so i will/might be going for a jog later/next morning. Though i have a high metabolism rate, i must still exercise... not only for my health but also for my skin because a healthy diet= healthy skin :)

I Miss Everyone

0i just listened to 'graduation' and feel very emotional right now. i was listening to the song while lying down on my bed. By the third sentence, i was crying: "i keep thinking times will never change, keep on thinking things will always be the same. but when we leave this year, we won't be coming back, no more hanging out cause we're on a different track..." I miss them. I miss everyone. My girlfriends, the lame jokes the guys always make, the childish games they play and the way they act- like they were still children, never young adults. i still remember a facebook comment one of the guys said "shut up you fags, bow down to me". It was meant for the other boys. They call each other that though i have no idea what it means. Then there was another 2 guys' comments on facebook. one is Dickson and the other, Andrew. (it is what i can remember cuz i can't find that particular post)
A: Gonna go out now
D: Then help me buy bubble tea, how much ar?
A: $1000! you want how many?
D: 100!
45 minutes later...
D: eh, i don't see my bubble tea anywhere yet leh
A: don't have, drink your own pee lor

it is ridiculous how childish they can get. i still remember a time when the boys played the bubble tea pearls and one got stuck on the back of the classroom's wall! hahas! It stayed there for about 2 years until the school got a new paint job for some classrooms recently that the pearl is now gone :D
Sigh... Reminiscing about the past is such a painful yet happy feeling... "so if we get the big jobs and we make the big money, when we look back now will the jokes still be funny? will we remember everyhting we learned in school? still be trying to break every single rule... i keep keep thinking that it's not goodbye keep on thinking it's a time to fly. And this is how it feels, as we go on we remember all the times we had together and as our lives change from whatever we will still be friends forever"

A New Beginning

A lot of things sure have happened these last few weeks. Hanging out and just having fun with my friends. I wish i could turn back time and relive it all over again. However, things just don't happen that way does it? There are still many of life's obstacles i have to overcome and many more things to discover. I guess i have to let go now and embrace the future for how do we progress if we don't? i will be separated from my friends soon and we won't be having classes together anymore but i'll always keep those memories with me...
here's a poem i found recently:
A special friend you are to me
Bringing feelings of warmth endlessly
I send you this cuddle deep from my heart
To keep by your side when we are apart <3

A wonderful poem is it not? it does translate how we feel toward our dearest friends. How much we cherish our friendship and how much we want to hold on to it :)
Although we will be going toward different paths, at least we still have each other in our hearts. i'm going to meet new people soon and make new friends, i hope i stay strong. Here now, is the end of this chapter of my life..

Sometimes, what happens to be the end, is really a new beginning...
