love for a city

because my time in durham is magical.

moment

i have to blog about this. 

it was probably one the best moments of my life. 

4th june 2012

Emirates Stadium, London

wrist bands

a few hours before coldplay comes on.

(entertained by Rita Ora and Robyn)

preparing the stage just before coldplay comes on!

mylo xyloto

hurts like heaven

charlie brown

flickering lights

next time, i'd get the standing tickets.

fly

after days of cooping myself at home.

i finally went out tonight. 

hello beautiful. 

durham cathedral.

the one place i will always love. 

i promise to come back and see you once more. 

at least once more before i die.

the evening was the usual. 

i need to love people more. 

i can't stand the company of meiko. 

(how bizarre for me to say this)

yet i can tolerate most of Romain's rubbish. 

anyway.

we watched intouchables

(english title: untouchable)

i thought it was a brilliant film.

the theme song was good as well.

fly - Ludovico Einaudi

on a side note. 

God has been reminding me about things

and i am very glad His presence is so close.

for now. 

i am looking forward to dinner and movie sessions

with my "brothers" junhan, jieshun and conrad.

it's 3 am. 

and i need sleep. 

oh.

i ate 8 snickers today

make believe is much too fun

i am happy.

woke up early to catch service online.

it was magical.

more polaroids for my wall. 

i am sad.

i ate an insane amount of snickers

for two days straight.

very ashamed.

might surprise you

i think this cover of 

"somebody that i used to know"

is brilliant!

turn into

i know what i know

this is so frustrating

finally spoke to my parents

about the one thought that kept me awake at night

i want to do another masters programme

6 months ago 

i would have immediately called myself crazy

but i have my reasons for embracing such a hope

i do not expect my parents to approve of it

(and obviously they didn't)

but i just gave up when they said no.

Then Romain stated something so simple that made me think.

i came all the way here to "experience" something different

but really i am still the same

good or bad

i still do not know.

this is beyond the unsatisfied education i am receiving

this is beyond needs and wants

i need God

i need passion

i need a life worth living for

i guess i have always lived my life revolving around humans

(myself included)

yes. 

i need You so much closer.

experimented with cheese and blueberry flapjacks

bizarre combination that i enjoyed

this tree is a beauty

trip to Hadrian's wall

12 mile hike 

God is good.

witnessed a double rainbow

worth every ounce of rain, pain and cold.

verses of comfort

days of work are back. 

still.

there is no lack in crazy moments.

what romain did to meiko's notes

honesty time. . . 

i tried to go on some healthy eating rampage

incorporating vegetables into my meals!

so this plan lasted effectively for 5 days

call it lack of self discipline

but i really do not wish to restrict my food intake

or at least not be so conscious of what i consume

food always brought me joy

so i will continue to indulge

to compensate

i will exercise more

given that the weather has been so brilliant these days

running seems so much more attractive now

(i just have to get out of bed early)

film night again.

of all films, the guys picked "drag me to hell"

but without much persuasion

we changed it to "requiem for the dreams"

i must say it was one of the saddest films i have ever watched

the soundtrack is to die for.

random 

i see this 99.9% of the time when i walk past Allergate.

a beauty if you ask me. 

it makes me happy

(cheap thrill)

bed time!

run tomorrow!

let me complete my FINSAS! 

hold on

attempts to actually know what i am listening to.

And I'm waiting for the day
I know you've got your part
And I'm waiting for the day
I know you'll have the heart

And I'm hoping that you'll say
That you loved me all this time
But it turns out just the same
And you break apart the things I had

Hold on, what did you say that for?
Hold on, what did you say that for?
Hold on, what do you take me for?
Hold on, what do you take me for?

And I'm waiting for the day
Inside my mother's clothing store
And I'm waiting for the day
What am I waiting for?

Hold on, what did you say that for?
Hold on, what did you say that for?
Hold on, what do you take me for?
Hold on, what did you say that for?

safe and sound

information is not efficient.

book that was unheard off

opinions exactly similar to my sister

i like

I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go"
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Don't you dare look out your window darling
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
Gone

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound. . .

when we play

meiko works hard.
so he can afford to play hard.

i'm just starting on the working hard bit. 

still-

attending formals is like a routine these days.
quite the highlight of our week usually.
(since the rest of the time spent is in the library)

1) JCR president? speech before formal dinner begins

2) meiko as my guest 

3) how a typical table looks like towards the end of formal

4) christmas tree in the corner of hatfield's dining hall! 

 here comes the part where we enjoy. 

and it gets a little crazier each week

strutting into local pubs in our gowns

and getting stared at

i like-

erdinger white!

didn't know it was a german beer

party at fisher house was quite decent.
in a strange sense really

i actually liked meeting new people

indeed

if you want to soar like an eagle

do not hang out with turkeys

sounds harsh.

but that is the truth.

and i am glad i choose my friends wisely

PLUCK!

i have never derived so much utility in a single night
sounds really warped but it is true!
went to watch pluck with shijun

FOR THE 1000000000TH TIME!
THANK YOU FOR ASKING ME
TO WATCH PLUCK WITH YOU!

interval! (:
snap some shots and make his sisters jealous

with the awesome trio!
kit, brooke and flora!
<3<3<3



i was one mad happy girl
bought their cd and had their autographs! ((:

ain't gonna let the love for music die.
(telling myself that)

worth sharing

can't say that i am an anime freak
but i really do enjoy those that i read and watch

one piece
card captor sakura
claymore
naruto
full metal alchemist brotherhood

a recent new found love is broken blade (aka break blade)

occupied

hooked onto one piece
currently watching luffy beating CP9
and saving nico robin

yes.
every episode is exciting

more that meets the eye

i like.

pudding camera makes me happy

as said

losing momentum to blog
as sisters return to singapore

well.
during my last trip to the zoo
i told a very friendly keeper
that i will try my best to visit once a year.

my reason for saying those words
were his love and dedication to the animals
and this little miss sunshine who stole my heart

EVERYBODY SAY HELLO TO CANDY!

<3<3<3
didnt get to touch her this time
(she bites)
but i still adore her very much

visual feast

you know.
life is amazing!

with this post
i am 99% sure i will get started on tumblr

i like my dislikes

i dislike loud sounds/noise/music

anything beyond a certain decibel
irritates and frightens me.

gosh.
if this is true.
then, yes.
i am old.

perhaps i have a low tolerance.
(:

but i like myself this way.
i find it senseless to blast noise
into your precious ears.
and it is not as if the noise
will lead to greater profitability or
derivation of utility that is unique.

to share

i cannot get enough of this.

i like this scene
blogger sucks
tumblr rules
(at least for this split second)

everybody ought to watch
500 days of summer

laughter

weekly routine needs some adjustments
let's make it fortnightly babes.


i thought it would only be 3/4 of DAZ
but juliana made it still.
(:
all thanks to technology
and tech savvy tsehwee!
<3>

obscene obsession with milk tea


then the madness started. . .





hello JULIANA!






but then she couldnt hear us anymore
:/


the funny thing was. . .
she started typing
when we could hear her loud and clear!

her first reaction was
" FUCK YOU "
(then this sad smiley)

gosh.
we laughed so hard tonight.
and you had to be there to
fully comprehend the queer situation.

thank goodness folks at lot 1
don't hang out much.
:D

i knew we were a nuisance.
