late nights alone hanging out the laundry to the music of black eyed peas then nat king cole.

time to plan alil.
my calendar dates have been filling up pretty rapidly so catch me while you can haha.

the semesters just fly by nowadays,
theres barely time for consideration.
time to study like a rock star,
in pursuit of As and more As.
and just wanted to say i rly love my lit mods this sem,
would be quite a bonus if i did well in all of em.

studies aside,
everything else's been too much of a good thing.

chapters

hair today,
and gone tomorrow.
i secretly find it very liberating with a short crop,
even though my ballet teacher wouldnt approve.
well ive seen better days than this,
but still i fall prey to the paper chase.
essay fatigue hits me every weekend,
but thank god for fridays.

to all my favourite people in this world,
its only gonna get bettr okay.
and to the ones i havent had a chance to meet up yet,
i missed yall so much.
decluttering my life was harder than id imagined.

you're not alone here yknow.

bye hair,
here today and gone tomorrow.

there,
snippets of the holidays begone.
the week immediately after,
i was bombarded with so many essays it was hard to breathe.

lazy lomo days.

aye im so weary,
but dance keeps me pretty damn alive.
nothing like flexing some footwork on the dancefloor.
nothing like a midweek rendezvous in the studio hahaha.
eat, sleep, study, sing, dance.
sounds good to me.

wah lau i mustve watched madame butterfly at least thrice this week.

love,
saffie.

2009-09-22T02:35:00.023+08:00

space

hullo.
this is crazy,
but this is kinda nothing new.
rambling weekends filled with insane amounts of peace, love and ice cream;
and sometimes the unraveling of truth, at times heartbreaking yet joyful.
see this is how vague i shall go.
because sometimes the closer you look, the less pretty the sight gets.
dont go having too much expectations,
just smile and bear with me for alil while.
(:

mini cubo outing at brewerkz.
serious death by buffalo wings.

spotlight

hello hello.
its been some weekend.
ive spent alot of time thinking, musing,
and have come to the conclusion that nothing beats doing what you love and loving what you do.
that aside, and the expectations that others have bestowed upon you.
too many factors come into consideration,
guess i couldve been none the wiser.
but we'll see.

hall 7 prometheus production on friday!
a close to full house attendance made all the difference i think.
thankyou to the darlings who so willingly bought tickets from me,
and thankyou to all my fellow casts and the crew involved.
its been some insane months in lieu of this production,
tho i really did loved the whole process.
am secretly hoping we could stage a musical next year haha.

this is terrible, im terribly tempted to take up tap dance.
on hindsight i also need to get a job beside my current tuition stints.

need to enrich my life with something else other than song and dance.
3 months worth of holidays seem awfully short all of a sudden.
plus hall's like a ghost town now with everybody moving out for YOG.

psychedelic

ive decided to take liberties with my study schedule,
just to update on the weekend.
its been some harrowing experience planning this party!
ive not had a birthday party like this since i was a little girl yknw,
so i thought i'd conjure a quaint theme that was gonna sweep everybody off their feet.
didnt matter that some chose not to dress up la hahaha hope yall had fun,
despite the impending exams and the obscurity of the chalet venue.
(:

my birthday party on sat, 2 days in advance hahaha.
made possible with the family's kind sponsorship ahaha.
major thanks to tabsy & sam chionh!
one part co-hosts, one part awesome friends who helped me with the deco and cleaning up.

kai & jon who came early to help,
thanksamillion!

oh then we watched step up until the first hints of guests peeked through the door.

the people who bought me a hamster omgomg.
ive decided to call the lil furball, omelet!

mizuno darlings.

the piggy girls.

joyce!

4e4 babes.

orkos!

an unexpected gift aha.

luv this one.

ugly walls.
reminds me of virginia woolf's a mark on the wall.
see, lit never leaves my mind even while i party hahaha.

ive been on earth for 2 decades already.
scary.

family.

peirceans.

ajcians.

ntu dancesport.

and orkos!

crowned mr/miss psychedelic ahaha.

hong guang & oscar!

hello omelet.

cat eyes.

and the likes of a balloon mayhem.

uncanny how yall got me the exact same lomo which i purchased just 2 weeks ago!
now i'll just have to sell the other one away haha you guys know me too well tsk.

the girlie sleepover hahaha.

thankyou yall!
too much awesomeness for one evening.
(:

oh on a side note,
i just wanted to rant about the chalet,
would you believe the shower control handle fell out and we had to resort to bathing with tap water?
couldnt even get help desk on the line.
sigh i have endless complaints but we'll save it for another time.

then on friday,
we had our sentosa getaway.
i needed some sunshine thats all but i left with red tinged shoulders hahaha.
oh i just had to get myself burnt just one day before the party tsk.

M&Ns.

to be lying in shallow waters under the warm sun on a friday morning is pretty priceness.

byebye blue highlights,
they're kinda completely gone.

be back to my study notes now.
some birthday indeed hahaha.
im twenteen, not twenty!

rest of the shots may be found on facebook!
yes yes, abstain from mindless addiction.

love,
saffie.

hologram

you know what,
i think this week long of hardcore studying and essay chionging has damaged my brains!
i feel thoroughly stifled and ready to catapult out of the window hahaha.
be going to sentosa tmr morning with the girls just because i need a breather!

some wreck of an awesome week;
was spent studying at S4 benches,
completing lit essays,
falling asleep on trains and missing stops.

as you might have guessed,
my blue highlights have faded into oblivion and now i have mermaid hair!
im more amused than sad actually.

my lovely side of the room.
wooshy rong and i will still room tgt next semester and beyond!
cant believe we've got to move out for YOG upgrades.
effing.

just met dad for dinner!
i always feel like i dont see him enough.
anw early birthday treat at shokudo!
because he wont be there on sat.

the dad's as much of a camwhore as i am.

then i chanced upon this hair style magazine and my heart ached.
how i long for such rich streaks of blue in my hair.
):

party prep!
exciting much.

overdue shots from shutter night,
where we huddled up in chinyaw's room to scare ourselves silly.

my fav sadako.

found more shots taken post jdc.

okay yall,
need to replenish sleep now.

love,
saffie.

mermaid

hullooo.
i couldnt resist typing an entry haha.
im such a weary soul but alas there are academic duties and social obligations waiting in the wings,
oh i succumb to them all too easily.
i do want to go home more often yknw.

went for joyce's 21st birthday bash last evening,
but serendipity must have struck and made it into a 6A reunion.
met up with jieying & jovena to shop beforehand and it was so funny we ended up buying clothes from the same shop at a whim.
everybody hasnt changed much at all!
since primary school yknw hahaha.
thats why i say i tend to crave familiarity these days,
its comforting to behold.

party theme was the 80s,
but i dressed as though i escaped from the asylum ahaha who cares.
i was trying to look like a mannequin!

hei bai.

soph we need to go tanning again soon!

the birthday girl.

pravin!
omg haha skinny you.

proud shorties.

on friday,
i was on a pursuit for blue hair.

lydia the purple monster.

had ballet then tabsy and i finally had our long overdue icekimo outing!
so nice to know the night's long and the conversations never run dry,
even if the ice cream does.

oh and i just wanted to complaint.
blue highlights are the darnest things ever,
so lovely to see at a glance but so hard to maintain.
its already turned aqua blue!
im almost certain its gonna turn green then dirty green then possibly grey oh dear.
i will so spam conditioner!
im gonna do a booster highlight when i have spare cash hahaha.
but nooo never will i bleach my hair again,
maybe until the entire chunk currently on my head grows itself out haha.

okay study time.

love,
saffie.
