Awwww... My back freaking hurts lah... I have absolutely no idea as to how I managed to hurt it or what the hell it was I did. Maybe I did some vigorous arm exercises in the middle of the night and so now I'm aching.. But then again, not my whole back aches leh, it's just the left side. Argh! =[
Anyway, with the fusion date drawing near and me having yet to complete my portfolio, I have been doing some serious slacking. Went to rent some movies with YL and now, all I have been doing is watching those movies... A very very bad distraction indeed. So anyways, one of the movies that I really really liked: Umizaru. I happened to watched the second movie on the plane when I was flying to New York and god knows how much I cried while watching that movie. Sadded sia, so I had to rent the first movie. Loe and behold! The first movie is really nice too! I think there's a drama on that movie or smthg but whatever.. I like the two movies! =D Takes my mind off some stuff for a while and it's relatively refreshing.

Hey blogger changed its layout and stuff I got lost trying to get into my account.
I am like seriously lagging. Havent been blogging lately and alot of stuff happened, I mean, it's CNY! Of course alot of things has to happen if not it wouldn't be CNY anymore. Well, first things first, GONG HEI FAT CHOI!!! Must be special abit cause everyone is saying that in chinese or english so I shall say it in canto. Haha
the cousins
CNY was.. well, quite a few people from in the family were missing. Daniel suay suay got high fever on the first day, Nora's in Canada; missing home and even though only two of them were MIA-ing it felt different. But nonetheless, new year is a time for reunion and MASSIVE family gatherings and I should probably say this cause it just hit me this year that I love my family. Nono I know everyone loves their family but does it include extended family? In all seriousness. I hear from alot of my friends that they are not very close to their cousins, aunties, uncles and when it comes to times like these, it just means that it is time once again for parents to start comparing kids, start to do I dunno what else and if they did have a choice and if it wasn't just for the plain reason that it was the new year and it was a time to start collecting money, they would rather be somewhere else than stoning in front of the tv or whatnot.
In my case, I'm probably really really fortunate that my whole family is not like that. It's a close tight circle and everyone is nice to everyone, not so much comparing (I won't say no comparing cause there's bound to be some sort of stuff like that always around) it doesn't matter whose house we're in, everyone helps out, and everyone can talk to everyone and laugh out loud without feeling that we're just making conversation or entertaining people. I love it! And it's really nice to feel that way. I mean, I've always known it all along that my family was a close one but it just really hit me this year that like: Wow! This is great and I love it! Like my bro was saying he has a friend whose aunties and uncles are like ours, very successful people, doctors, lawyers and because they are so successful, they become snobbish and stuff but that's different from our family cause even though our aunties and uncles are like so pro, they are still super nice and like when it comes to family, they can be equally crazy. How rare is it that you are served drinks by a lawyer? Haha. Maybe I'm just becoming sentimental or smthg but yeah. This new year was like great realization for me.
Oh and the kids seem to grow SUPER fast lah! I mean, one year ago you were just like this tofu thing, and now, one year later when I see you, you are walking!!! Does it matter that the kids always seem to multiply in numbers so fast you feel old? But they are just sooo adorable you can't help but croon at their little fingers, aawww at their confused faces as they are being passed from one adult to another or the little actions that they do like lean into you like a little koala and grab ur finger to suck that drives you crazy and makes you think that you wanna get married just to have a kid, or even better, kidnap that one cute kid? That's how we all feel. That's how I feel.
Well, this is just my mum's side, I can't say the same for my dad's side cause they are all in Malaysia and I haven't been back in like what? Almost 10 years? So anyway, apart from the great family realization, new year was pretty much the same except that this year, I have to include two more jabronies. My two new step-cousins, whom none of the cousins like. Arrogant, egoistical, non-stop bragging, Oh-I-am-so-great-hear-me-talk cousins. Ah whatever. So from now on, I'm gonna start to like all these family gatherings and try to be more sociable. Haha.
Okie enough of family talk. Back to work, back to portfolio that seems to talk over my life, back to stressing over what to do. When is it ever gonna be over? *sob =[

Love is in the air~
Yes it's Valentine's Day and after being in town for the past few days and seeing couples everywhere, love is indeed in the air. For some really strange reason, I've seen quite a number of couples who were presented flowers but for some funny reason, the guy is the one carrying flowers instead of the girl... now why is that so? Hmmm..
Anyway, I have indeed fallen in love... in love with Kurosagi.
Black Swindler swindles White swindler to get the money back for his victims. Confused? Yeap. So was I but after watching it, I lurrrve it!!! Okie okie it's the main lead that makes the show even more lovable, with his dead pan voice and his trademark 'bang', eye candy plus cool plot.. I like! =]
Heh heh.. right I should stop gushing over him and continue watching the show.

As we entered the half-closed gates to the church, groups of guests dressed in black, carrying on hushed conversations could be seen. Closer we walked, the heavy atmosphere made my heart beat faster and I crept closer to my friend. No one came to welcome us. We were pretty much left there, not knowing what to do, not knowing where to go. Not that I was expecting any form of invitation whatsoever, so we made our way over to the only lit room that was englufed by the surrounding darkness. Standing in the doorway, looking at the picture in between the candles on the table, the air was filled with the sweet scent of crysenthemum that lined the two walls and the air was filled with the prayers coming from a radio. And as if it were contagious, the heaviness atmosphere filled our hearts all too suddenly. I wanted to cry. For what? I do not know. The sight of it all was disheartening, and all I could do was to offer my prayers and deepest symphathy through a tight hug. I didn't know what to say, in fear of seeing her tears...
I did not know the decesed directly. But I knew who he would leave behind and it was nice to see how close ij family is. One tragic event that resulted in everyone coming together one way or another. Stay strong... Mrs Low.

I'm freezing my arse off at home with no fan turned on, majority of the windows closed except for one window in the hall and the wind coming through that window is so freaking strong for a moment, I forgot I was in Singapore. My hands are like ice lah. It's the freak weather the world is experiencing. Maybe it's a sign that the world is ending. Haha
Busy as I am, somehow, I manage to find the time to blog. It's strange cause threre's tonnes of work to be done but considering the rate at how I'm progressing, I probably won't be finishing anytime in the next 10 years. If anyone ever tells you how slack Year 3 is? Don't believe them. Just portfolio alone is enough to suck ur braincells dry, not to mention time and energy and sleep wasted when you have no inspiration. That's just one module. Next week, there's the art history test which I'm pretty sure I'll fail, the art history journal, broadcast AND portfolio. All due next week.
I'm screwed. We're screwed, and unless you are one of those angelic students who have started working on your portfolio when the teachers started telling you to one year ago and probably have about 20 works to your name, then welcome to the family. Join the crowd. We're all on the same ship and that ship is sinking. I hate Fusion! Crappy picture, pathatic amount of works, no inspiration. That is one lethal combination man. Oh and did I mention that I have taken a sudden liking to the Goong soundtrack? God knows why but yeah. It's like on repeat mode in my itunes and I think it's driving people crazy. =]
I just realised that its the 1st of Feb today! Chinese New Year is two weeks away! Money! Money! MONEY!
