well, it has been quite a while.

am actually sitting down to write this on the thirtieth! (see edit timestamp) though i did think long & hard about whether i could date this feb 28th and still get away with it v_v oh well, procrastinator and proud of it...!!

i don't usually explain my titles cos most of the time they have no relevance with the post anyway,
<digress>
don't you just hate those people who post pictures with captions that DON'T MAKE SENSE AT ALL??! i see it all the time on tumblr & instagram and it makes me so angry D; maybe it's a little irrational, but if you're going to write some essay about playing with a cute dog then why would you post your face ugh.
</digress>
but in any case,
it came about from simin saying how for us international students, the last week of home is always the busiest. which is very true; suddenly there is so much to do & so many people to see, and never enough time v_v and despite having met everyone on my list at least once i'll always feel like i haven't seen enough of them ☞☞☞ looking at you kohcui ;'c

the last time i came home in sept-oct i found myself going out every day until my body gave out on me, and i guess i did the same thing during my last couple weeks this time! i blame meeting new people so far into homecoming, but to this date i regret nothing ♡

timbre @ substation w nicky yiling & esm on sunday! quite a sudden decision actually, since nicky and esm thought the four of us should meet before i flew off :') well and the venue was originally ecp, even though it's QUITE far for our resident panjang boy..... but for reasons i cannot remember now, meeting place changed and so a little awks for the boys who brought their uke & guitar D;

we told the boys they could go up to join the live band...!! like excuse me, i also want to play one and a half minutes of i'm yours before you start singing hehehee :>



feelin' the love!!! ^_^

that's a pina colada and i'm quite upset that it didn't taste good, like milk + alcohol ugh. esp since i've always wanted t try one? D; but the company & live band that night more than made up for it...!! they played the script ❤❤, and the usual, eg. aerosmith, yellowcard, etc.; the boys sent in requests (but neither were played, mega sighs! maybe not mainstream enough haha) and much hilarity ensued when yiling & i would see dedications up on the screen by them to us! sweet max（´∀｀）AND YILING'S EYECANDY :OO

life lesson of the night —
when life hands you lemons, GET A LYCHEE MARTINI *cheers*


my boys & girl ♡

but first can i apologize to yiling for using this photo (ノ Д \ ) see, the problem the both of us have with flash is that our eyes are too sensitive...!! cons of having big eyes HAHAHA. and it seems that we always take turns to half-close; even here my eyes're only 3/4 open D; but this was the best already :'x

i still think we're a rather eclectic bunch — for those who know us individually you'd wonder how we met each other. it's so chapalang but that's precisely why i love it :) that this quartet can come together from scattered parts of the country on seemingly random nights like these, & still have a blast ☻

made a deal with yiling to have brekkie w me the very next day!!!! hehe the major impediment was that she had class, and whether or not i could wake up, and of course i overslept (;¬_¬) but PLEASE DON'T JUDGE ME, i got home at like 3AM??

so the backstory is this: ever since i started at ib i've always always wanted to try a morning in paris. eggs & ham in croissant, what's not to love?? finally had the chance to satisfy this craving after two years, can you believe it, and the best part was that it's every bit as good as i'd imagined it would be *_*


accompanied by a spiced capp ❤

HERE'S THE THING — this silly girl & i spent SO LONG instagramming that our breakfasts went from piping hot to lukewarm (・へ・) uh indecisive much? quite embarrassing to admit how obsessed i've become over some stupid photo-sharing app; iphone has ruined me x_x

then we sat and chatted till about noon :) much of the conversation was me sharing all the funny and exasperating stories of colleagues and ib work life, and i had SO MANY...!! some from 2011 but also some from the past month (was it really only four weeks?!) and when weaving those experiences into tales it usually sounds hilarious, but hindsight always has a way to turn tragedy into comedy D; something to bear in mind, i guess.

anyway here is my deer! (CAN YOU SPOT THE PUN)


finding joy in the little things (geddit??? :D i'm on a roll today!) ♡

ever since getting my po i've never gone out without it, and i've used so much film it's quite scary when i think about it o_0 but pretty skins & such vintage-y feels > everything else! which reminds me, i need to get an album to store all of them, and soon~

the thing about "lasts" is that it always makes me feel something i can never describe. sort of warm, and the fuzziness you get when you spend time with people you love; but the knowledge that you can't do this anymore just weighs everything down. and sadness takes many forms; it's not really heartbreak, nor heartache; but a dull sort of tug........ at worst another memory anchor, though i think it's little more than a reminder that you can't really be too sad about it, because it really isn't anything worth being sad over (✿◡‿◡ )
