maybe it's just me, but i find facebook extraordinarily depressing. i just do. i do not know why and like Cassandra, "Perhaps if I make myself write I shall find out what is wrong with me", but this glorious moment in time between After Exams and The Returning of Results should not be spent on moping yes, hence i shall not dwell.

i've had a marvellous time recently, exams FINALLY ENDED yesterday (meh to those who do not end last like we do) and after hanging with most of the ichians (mega love) at vivo, went to kbox with leeyin cherie brian yijin, which was really really really fun and HIGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! (*WAILS* MY LIFE. WOULD SUCK. WITHOUUUUUUUUT UUUUUUU)

& today i had an awesome time with nq at town. o.m.g. it must be that the stress has finally gotten to me, for i spent $255 on 2 dresses, a school bag, a wallet and adidas school shoes. the irony, considering that the academic year has just ended and here i am, buying new school supplies. of course, my pens have been depleted with promos (actually half way through, they were all gone) and i have not bought any, merely having stolen my mom's.

i've just finished a really really really good book called I Capture The Castle by Dodie Smith (that's where Cassandra aforementioned comes from) and i'm kind of just sitting on it for a while. not literally. like you know, after a book you kinda just need to rest and absorb the awesomeness of it before you move on to another. the protagonist and her voice is extremely endearing *(j.k. rowling said so too, that she was a charismatic narrator, no one disagrees with thy holy) , undeniably one of my favourite characters of all time. interesting fact: Dodie Smith wrote The Hundred and One Dalmatians. tell me if you've read it i will happily launch into a discussion with you :D

it's extremely ironic how the education system in Singapore leaves little time for leisurely reading.

A paradox: spending $$$$ on shopping makes one feel both rich and poor.

I like...

"-about the difficulty of finding words to describe the luminous mist, and why one has the desire to describe beauty.

'Perhaps it's an attempt to possess it,' I said.

'Or be possessed by it, perhaps that's the same thing, really. I suppose it's the complete identification with beauty one's seeking.' "

and

"Only half a page left now. Shall I fill it with 'I love you, I love you, I love you' - like father's page of cats on the mat? No. Even a broken heart doesn't warrant a waste of good paper."

and lots more, all from I Capture The Castle.
