It’s been a while, hey? Sorry about that? I’m not sure how time is passing by so quickly etc etc.

LET’S CLEAR SOME PICTURES:

starbucks with vi, gloria jean’s with mas & nad, pastamania with sya & eatzi with meen

…don’t ask.

Watched Chronicle (with my numero uno movie buddy, meen) two weeks backs (oh! oh! oh! I won a movie poster! But I have no time to collect it. alskjdalskd) and then (simpang session +) J.Edgar (w/ meen, adrienne & v!) last saturday. The latter involved lots of avril-singalong-sessions & general fangirlisms over surprise!appearances in the film. I have to say that I really enjoyed both and that’s all I’m gonna go with lest I let out a spoiler. Anyway, I’m hoping to catch Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and This Means War some time in the next couple of weeks but let’s see how my wallet agrees with me since I AM BROKE AS A JOKE… because the internet compels me to purchase things like:

{NO REGRETS (:}

hunger games trilogy for iman!

three teefury packages, four t-shirts (:

iman has already threatened to steal this jumper. BOOOOOOOO!

& the pièce de résistance

ALSDJLAKSDJLASDKA AFTER SEARCHING FOR FOUR. YEARS. OH MY GOD. I WANTED TO CRY WHEN I HIT “BUY” AND I THINK I WILL CRY WHEN I HAVE IT IN MY HANDS. ALDJALKJSD!

Oh! Also went to this gig thing over at The Pigeonhole with meen and OHMYGOD it was the most pretentious thing ever. A veritable sea of plaid & weird haircuts on mismatched chairs and hahahaha the both of us considered ditching it but we braved the ~sea of hipsters~ and I’m glad we did because the second & fourth set (this is atlantis & virginia sook) were quite brilliant. Good $10 spent. Even bought merch in the end because they were pretty ridiculously affordable ($5 for the ep, $10 for the shirt):

jess locke & virginia sook photos by meen

my mum (using my dad’s phone) texted me while I was at the gig (read from bottom, up) ♥♥♥

What else? Weekends are pretty much burnt because I’ve got chores + I’m on chauferring duty (sending/fetching iman from tuition on sat, violin on sunday + accompanying the mothernator to the gma’s house both nights) but it’s all good because at least I’m doing something, hey? I need to sort something out this weekend because whoop whoop THOSAI PARTY @ meen‘s place (eh, meen, if you’re reading this, seriously man I think I mention you in like EVERY post HAHAHAA)!

tl;dr HOLY HELL IT IS HARD TO MANAGE MY TV BACKLOG :S BOO

Dreamt that I was back in Brisbane, with a couple of my favourite people, listening to mixtapes in a beat-up car ♥ Also, I dreamt that I was dating James Franco (meh. I dreamt that I was dating Iwan Rheon a couple weeks back and that was much much better). I don’t know what my mind is trying to tell me :/

In other news:

WHERE DID MY WEEKEND GO?!??

In fact:

HOW CAN IT BE THE END OF JANUARY ALREADY?!??

This fast-forward lifestyle is not cool, you guys :/

In summary- THIS VIDEO:

Oddly (okay, maybe not so oddly) enough, this week saw a healthy influx of “Dhu, you need to get a boyfriend/get laid” comments. And just. I. Well. As much as I enjoy the idea of dating someone, I don’t think I have the energy nor the emotional capacity to be in a relationship. I can barely repress the emotional clusterfuck that tends to ebb and flow and threatens to spill into “real life” (HAHAHAHA I am always amused by people who try to psychoanalyse me. Heck, I barely know myself at all so it’s weird to see others try to break down what they get at face value). ALSO: I’m twenty-one. What’s the rush?

In other news: my social anxiety issues are acting up again. There was this CNY shindig at work that I opted out of because the thought of being in proximity with so many people in such a small space with all that activity going on… well, let’s not go there. I know I need to be more approachable, make the first move, go out more etc. but hell I’ve had this problem for most of my life so I think me not rushing it & letting it pan out naturally is one heck of a step in the right direction for my mental health. I’m praying that this long weekend will allow me to calibrate my thoughts to find some sort of coping mechanism.

[I know it makes me out to be a reclusive, anti-social dick, but what can I do? You can't ever please them.]

&&&: work is… good. My body’s slowly adjusting to the “rigors of a routine” but I have nothing bad to say at all about the environment or the people or anything. It’s just me. I need to sort myself out, yes.

First off: WHOOP WHOOP! Iman got a distinction for her grade 7 piano exam ♥♥♥ MEGA proud of her (: (funfact: I failed mine! HAHAHA) & on the topic of the sisternator, IT’S HER 14TH BIRTHDAY TOMORROW!!! We went out for an early birthday lunch at seoul garden today so… picture time!

Doing things backwards but these photos have been on my desktop for a while and I want to clear them.

A SERIES OF FIRSTS IN 2012:

first movie & my first r21 to boot!

… and that’s it really. I get lazy. You know me. So here are some other pictures with random captions:

this is so addictive but I get a motherneffin sorethroat every.single.time ):

&&&

breakfast & lunch: once a novelty, NOW A MEANS OF SURVIVAL!!!

my wallet broke ): BUT I BOUGHT A NEW ONE TODAY:

OH MY GOD I START WORK IN SLIGHTLY OVER TWELVE HOURS! It’s a weird sensation since the only experience I have was through internship :/ In summary: Frightfully nervous but mainly tremendously psyched (: I really hope there are other new hires as well because I’d hate to be the awkward duck of the day. Then again, will probably be socially inept with or without fellow new kids.

THAT ASIDE, look what my mum found while cleaning out my grandma’s cupboard (note: singular):

Is it sad that I was most excited about getting my HP I book back (it has been missing for 7 years!)?

Tiger-tooth necklace that my mum wore as a kid, her name on a necklace & rough diamonds set in a ring & necklace!– my mum tells me that my late grandfather used to be bffs with a goldsmith.

Close up of the ring! now, I’m not one for gold and diamonds (not much for fancy jewellery tbh, I like all of mine to be cheap and geeky) BUT THIS RING ♥____♥ SO PRETTY. SO PRECIOUS. ALL MINE NOW! (((:

& IN STARDOM NEWS: LOOK AT THIS BITCHESSSS!!!

Managed to accomplish this in a week (I’M #1!!)! Though the sisternator is all pissy at me because she’s been playing for (slightly) longer but I’m about to surpass her in terms of both levels and # of fans \o/

I’ll leave you with this:

Initially, he wanted to be a pirate.

Not gonna lie- I’ve already watched it thrice today/dropped it into my iPad to watch tomorrow.

Tonight, we are young.
So let’s set the world on fire,
We can burn brighter than the sun.

The moon is on my side, I have no reason to run.
So will someone come and carry me home.

There are times when I wake up in the daytime to an empty house, when everything seems so still, that I think hang on, did the apocalypse just arrive? Yeah, I think I’ve been watching too much tv.

Since every one seems to be doing it, last day of the year & all, in 2011 I: split my time between 2 countries, saw Amanda Palmer & We Are Scientists (I GOT TO HUG KEITH!!!), GRADUATED, got a turntable & iPad (thank you mummy & daddy), TURNED 21, GOT A JOB… Checked off a lot of great things on my mental list so yay accomplishment! Don’t think there’s anything else to say, really (:

Might be ringing in the new year with the same friends that I did last year (in Sydney!) so that’s exciting but if those plans fall through, I’m gonna spend time with my family. A win-win situation either way (:

I’m not one for resolutions because, well, it’s silly to wait for a day every year (there are 364 other days!) to set your goals but to all of you wishing & praying & hoping, I wish you the best of luck! Til 2012 x

My sister is a filthy, filthy hipster. She is only 13.
JUST LOOK AT WHAT “SHE BOUGHT” FOR SCHOOL:

See! What did I tell you! This is the extent of my ~~alternativeness~~

IT’S NOT EVEN FULLY “HIPSTER” SINCE IT’S A HARRY POTTER REFERENCE.

HRMMMPH. KIDS THESE DAYS!!! ANYWAY, onto irl happenings, despite the fact that I only planned to go out once this week, I ended up going out three times (twice to watch a movie) and I think I have NYE plans tomorrow. On top of that, I can’t seem to recover from exhaustion because I’d fall asleep late but wake up early. Well, early by my standards (i.e. 10am). I have no one to blame but myself, I know :S

puss in boots (+ seoul garden) with sisternator & cousin

felt so nostalgic! but then I was informed that this outlet is pretty depressing :/

we had to change it twice! that’s three hotplates!

hahaha we left it on the grill too long and it BURNT A HOLE THROUGH!

finally got an iPad case!

meen came over for a turntable listening party! she kept playing temple run! hahahaha

went to watch Sherlock Holmes: AGoS @ Katong I12 with iman…my movie stubs from 08-now!
missing a couple + did not stick up the ones from aussie since they took up too much space!

Also, I’ve been “struggling” to read fanfic because I’m addicted to goddamn stardom. Such a silly game but IT GRABS ONTO YOU AND REFUSES TO LET GO. Before you say anything, I chose a guy avatar because why in the world would I want to stare at a girl for days? And, yes. He’s a pale ginger <333

you can level up and buy clothes,

do acting gigs/date people and get mentioned on the entertainment news channel,

& this is my current standing! level 15, B-lister. HAHAHA

bought new scarves for cheap (thank you mothernator!) & in a new style too (:

let’s get fizzical.

breakfast for dinner \o/

God. This is less of a blog and more of a visual-log-on-how-dhu-will-clog-up-her-arteries, no?

Last week of break coming up! These past two weeks have been exhausting. I feel like I’ve met my social quota twice over. Though I did get to watch The Muppets and … THE (cameos and the) MEMORIES ♥

Anyway, happy holidays y’all! The new year is almost upon us (one. more. week!) so start thinking about all those resolutions that you just know you’re gonna break (: This has been your daily dose of reality x
