light
Second post of the day; I have nothing better to do. The weather is awesome beyond awesome outside but I'm inside. Aww, what a waste. Apart from experiencing the unfortunate Bank event, all I've been doing is chat and do little errands here and there. I will be baking my cookies in a moment (sister volunteered to buy my baking sheets for me yey!). My back is starting to ache from sitting all day. I'm glad I will be doing something more productive and yummy! :D

Hola
It has been nearly 2 weeks since the Summer terms starts. So far it's pretty mundane, other than International Evening which was super awesome. It beats last year's hands down. The band, 22 (finally settled down to name, if I am not speaking too soon!), was bad assssss. The crowd was bad asssssss too! Imagine everyone standing up, high and clapping/singing along/ screaming/ shouting/ going wild. The atmosphere was yeah, unforgettable! Too bad the talents were not put together sooner or else last year's would have been a blast as well. I'm definitely voting for 22 as the best CTC band! (of course)
I've got some videos of some of the performance. Youtube is useful, haha~ Watch it and love it people!
Supermassive Black Hole.
Regina was obviously pretty nervous... I would be super nervewrecked if I were to open the whole event. Probably pee on the spot or equivalent!
The Scientist.
Rofl on the part when Boobs nearly forgot his line. His voice is (Y)!
You Give Love a Bad Name as encore.
When everybody was hiiiiiiiiigh. :D
The performances weren't as superb as during the practices though... nerves, oh nerves. The pictures are on facebook. Click on the link to view~ :)
For the past 2 weeks, I've done both slacking and studying some bits and pieces. Exams are in less than 20 days time and I'm nowhere near prepared. It's the A Levels, for goodness sake! At this moment, LSE is right in front of this imaginary door. I'm like on the way to grab the key so that I can unlock the door and embrace the university that I've been dreaming of for almost 4 years now. But, will I? I see uncertainties. Obstacles, they will always be there. :/
Speaking of LSE... I actually attended their Visit Day (sort of Open Day for offer holders). It was informative but wasn't sufficient e.g. I didn't really get the insight of what being an LSE student is like. The event was carried out during the Easter holiday so there were barely many students around the campus except the student volunteers and some mugger in the Library. Oooh, the library is awesome! It's really modern, cosy and clean. & very library-like with the tall bookcases and book stacked on them, making you feel like you'r surrounded by books. There's also this huuuuuuge area where you can study, surf the net, blah blah blah. In a nutshell, I like the library. :D
The university actually doesn't remind you of one. Basically the buildings are more of office types rather than blocks of colleges. It's not the kind of university which you always see on dramas which are 99% very campus like surrounded by green, green grass and trees and walk ways and many bicycles... you get my drift. It IS the London School of Economics and Political Science afterall. I would say the buildings suit the university. The lecture halls are very nice too! For Accounting and Finance, we had our subject talk in the Hong Kong theatre. Think high ceiling, law court-inspired design walls and windows that are big and allow plenty of light to flow into the room. ...my description isn't doing much of a help but I like that room a lot! The layout.
I didn't make any acquaintance except for this American chick (according to Shaun) who is unsure on doing Law at LSE/ head back to US of A and do... Biology or something. It's quite a big difference, hmm. We got separated from her halfway though since we decided to skip the Students' Life talk (I attended in the morning session). I didn't get to see Holborn residence too boohoo :( It was too late when we got to the place.
The queue was much longer for the afternoon session (Shaun's Law was in the afternoon whilst mine was in the morning).
Warm and sunny day! :D
There were quite a number of parents who accompanied their kids to the Visit Day, hmm.
Near the main entrance.
LSE Gym. Like, woah.
Le Library. The awesome spiral staircase! It looked bigger when you walk into the library. The point where I took this picture is in the area right outside the library, where you can eat and all that.
I think the girl with the red stockings was posing for me, hmm.
Muggeeeeers!
It's a pity I didn't take much pictures! It was a brilliant day... :(

I am going to head out now and enjoy my long awaited sunny day wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! (It has been gloomy, raining since like I-forgot-when)
Adios kids!
Adios kids!

Okay baby :D
I am settled with this template... at least for now. I am alright with the previous one but the font was really small and I think it's really important to have a font size that's appropriate and comfortable for the eyes of the readers. Not that I have that many readers, probably not even a handful, but I believe your individual welfare is very important. I don't want to be partially blamed for myopia/ increasing degrees ok!
The colour coordination is pretty screwed up. I feel so sad that I can't sort it out! But ahhhhh whatever, I don't want to get too caught up with that. If I were to be doing this say... 2 years ago I would have died from fussing over this. I used to be a perfectionist back in Secondary school. Hard to believe, I know. I was super duper picky then and would not budge until I got something the way I want it to be. Sadly my imperfectionism didn't apply to my studies. It would have helped me so, so much. Hahaa. I am still quite picky over the minor stuff though. It's really irritating sometimes. Yes! I irritate myself when I am being picky too. You are not the only one.
My inspiration is actually that flower up there. Nude (color) / yellowish-orange shades seem to appeal to me recently. The background used to be gray color, which I found quite boring. Stripes seems to be cute, so that plus yellowish-orange = ta-dahh! I am not sure about the colours still though. I need some comments please! :(
Anyhowww, I actually used my whole day doing thing. What a wasted (holi)day! :(

Metallica concert
Urgh, accounts is getting even more challenging than before :( I can't even get one final answer right for my homework! This is one disadvantage of taking on a speed course for A Levels. There is barely enough time to finish the syllabus properly and all the teachers are basically zooming past all the chapters. I don't even have a proper understanding of what is being taught now... I only have my O level knowledge to rely on. Daydreaming in practically all classes just make things worse too. -_-
Oh well. Anyway next week is Easter break. It's going to be for about 2 weeks, which is on average 2 week shorter than what most schools here in UK have. LSE actually has 5 weeks off for their Easter. Jealous, I am so. I understand why the college decided to only give us with only 2 weeks though. It's basically what I rambled about in the previous paragraph. I have a feeling that this break is going to be wasted as well, just like previous breaks that I had. Remember I always say how I am going to use it to revise school stuff? I never did that. Except for a rare couple of days, or hours even, that's it. Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh I've lost my drive and desire. Bad, bad. :/
Okay enough about college stuff. This bit might be interesting: I went to Metallica's concert last Saturday!!! Omg, is that awesome/ shocking/ unexpected or whuddd. It was kind of a spontaneous thing because Shaun and Naz got extra tickets and no one wanted to buy them... so Boobs bought one of the tickets and Shaun kindly offered me the extra one. Naz is the hardcore Metallica fan anyway and Shaun agreed to accompany him to catch the concert once more. Yea that's how hard core he is. Naz went to the same concert twice. Like, whoa.
The concert was rather awesome. It was very eye-opening, metal-ish and freaking loud. It was so loud that when I came out of the stadium, I could barely hear properly. It was as though I lost my sense of hearing after the 1.5 hour long performance. During the concert I actually feared that I might go deaf and had to cover my ears to try and prevent further (temporary) damage to my ear drums. I got it back though, thankfully. Or so I think... hmm.
I find it quite a waste that I only knew 2 songs out of the handful that they played. Nearly everyone were like singing (or rather, screaming) with the lead vocalist. Oh yea, I find that James (lead vocalist, guitarist and band leader) is very charismatic. & the drummer (Lars?) too. They are quite old though.
Doodling away on the window~
O2 Arena was where the concert was held.
Outside the stadium. (Not very interesting)
Our seats were pretty high up and far away from the stage. Naz and Boobs sat at different places, closer to the stage. Btw, the picture with shaun talking on the phone was to illustrate how far we were from the stage, lol.
Other hard core fans cheering and throwing their empty plastic cups of beer down. Oh yea, I experienced an uber mini beer shower, wts. Thank goodness the smell didn't stick on to me.
Some guy dozing off/ orgasming in silence.
If you can distinguish the faces from this pictures you can actually see Shaun yawning lol.
Metallica!
James changing hahahaaahahahahahahahh
& 1 Kirk. Haha. Most of the pictures were taken with maximum zoom btw. It's quite surprising that this Kirk one is clearer, relative to the other pictures.
The weather is getting warmer lately albeit the weird difference in the change of temperature from day to night (think from 16 to 4). It's not that extreme yet but it's really quite troublesome. I have to dress at the right thickness, enough to keep me from being baked by my layers and frozen by the night wind. Oh well. Spring oh springgg, thou make me ponder what I am going to experience this time round.

The more mentally absent I become
Quoted from conversation between my siblings(brother and sister):
Brother: hey can you help me iron my shirt?
Sister: huhhh whyyyyyyyyyy?
Brother: because I am lazy to do it myself.
Sister: no, go ask Ing first whether she knows how to iron.
Brother: DOES SHE LOOK LIKE SHE KNOWS HOW TO??!
Me:... I am not deaf.
I realised I made a few errors in the previous post, which was done in Chinese. Ahahahaa, the silliest(& most embarrassing) of all being 性情 instead of 心情. Haha~ my han yu pin yin is messed up!
So yes, the weekends are here again! Well, going to in a few hours time. Examinations are getting nearer and nearer and time for preparation is getting lesser and lesser. & WT_ I HAVE YET STARTED MY REVISION. !@$#% Homework is going to drown me sooner or later. Oh my goodness, it's like so so SO much to do! Accounts homework alone is enough to keep me busy for the weekends. Grahhh, Mrs Lau is merciless. :'(
Don't ask why I am doing this post despite knowing that I have a gazillion homework waiting for me to tackle. Shh. Zip. Don't say a word. ;)
The week wasn't bad. There were good days! So overall, I'll rate this week as slightly above average. The weather was really nice on Monday to Wednesday! The sun was out and it wasn't too warm. Absolutely fantastic(I am talking like Mrs Eyers, my maths teacher -_-). But from Thursday onwards, it wasn't that good. It starts to get colder again and gloomy, just like winter. I also like this kind of weather though. It's very London. Haha~
Oh, I took some pictures over the weekdays using my phone and Serene's camera. OH, WHICH REMINDS ME. My camera died. This happened a few months back though, sayyy around February? So yessssss, I had to live with Serene's camera to feed my hunger for scenes being snapped until I go back to Singapore. :(<
..I need to polish up my ONEGAIII~~ skills again. Sigh~ I miss doing it to Rachel and Mila! Hahahahahaha, omg! & the trouble that I got Rachel into with my ONEGAIII~ whines. Sorry Reiii~ <:)
So yes, the pictures of the week. I shall go by the days it was taken! :)
Monday

ECONOMICS CLASS right after lunch. That's Zahabia! :D

Mr Lea who(used to) look like JACK BLACK, when he still had his long hair.

CHUCKOOOOO MY MODEL!

The 3 chinese girls: Fanzi, Xiao Lu(Lv?) and Evelyn~~

Syazwan aka Syazzy.

Yea, this is what they do in class(weird things).

Yey~ sunny day! :D

They still haven't had enough of the pole. -_-

Syazzy mastering the skills of pole dancing in the middle of class as Evelyn looked on in absolute awe.

Fanzi and Xiao Lu, contrastingly, couldn't stifle their laughter any longer.

On the other hand, Zahabia resumed in studying my paper.

My model's (large)shoes.

This was supposed to be a proper picture of me tutoring Zahabia like a model student. So much for the effort. -_- (Xiao Lu's index finger on the bottom right)

Gospel. I didn't know my model is that holy.

Le is camera shy~~

We are uber cool.

Mr Lea is back in action! (Le is springing back into position)

Zahabia is still studying it...

Sucked away!

She stole my air-con!

Photographer and model!~

Checking out his phone(hidden by Le).

No caption.

IELTS class! Le's file(YAMAPII~~~) and Samantha, the little girl.
Tuesday

We spent our lunch time in Park Hill(a few steps from school) enjoying the Sun, breeze and scenes of couples making out.

The seniors were doing the same time as us.

That's Calvin strolling over.

The flowers were nice! I like them. :D

They noticed the camera.

Stop and Stare by CalvinHew.

Serene and Jooooolyn.

& that's me with my one-spring-day outfit.

Enjoying the sun.

Enjoying the breeze. (Jolyn looks chioer than usual here! :D)

THIS IS VERY EMILY ROSE.

BlacknWhite.

Brought to you with colours.

I like the colour of the grass here~

Hean Wu wants to give you a flower, how nice!

Back in the library to put down our stuff. There's Syazzy and Boobs Tan the sexy man with hot body(abs).

Calvin Lee!

Regina Ng!

Samantha(who was eating her ice cream) looking very innocent in front of the really nice flowers.

This was supposed to look cool. -_-

She wan't satisfied with her lunch maybe?

Our sandwiches. Mine sucked, as usual.

The cafeteria, which sells fatty food.

We were on the way back to library.

Serene's attempt in photography.

I was facing Neeta in the library, who was facing the air-con which was giving out cool air with sulphur-like scent.

Whee~ doing what I like to do when I have nothing to do again.

Mrs Carroll is Neeta's crush.

..Felicia too. Neeta 很花.

Embarrassed to admit. HHAHA!
Friday

Just outside the apartment on the way to Chancery Lane tube station, I met Mr and Mrs squirrel.

During IELTS class, Le showed me this accounts book...

...AND SHE ACTUALLY USED MASSU'S PIC AS ONE OF THE COVERS FOR THE BOOK!...

&&&&&&&&&&&& RYO WAS ON THE OTHER COVERRRRRRRRR OMGOGMOGOMGOGMOG. I am going to snatch it away from her one day! WATCH OUT LE~~ ;)
That's all folks. Phew, that was a lot isn't it?
