Innocence is brilliant



I love this Canon ad! Perhaps it's because of the song which I like. I love her second album Under My Skin (and yes I'm biased because my camera is Canon).

I think Orchard Road seriously needs lighting. Have you seen it after they took down the Christmas lights? The whole street just look plain and dead. Maybe I was there pretty late and it was a weekday (plus Monday, first day of school). But I think it could do better with some lights, I really love the Christmas lights! Feels like some fairy tale setting but guess not, with the crowd and everything (= distorted fairytale). But at least we'll have our own Champs-Elysees in Orchard with the lightings though.

Can you believe that I've never taken up the 11-storey escalators at Orchard Central before? And what's worse, I cannot believe I was a bit scared when we got higher, like sheesh! It was 11 pm, and I dragged aishah to do this with me while the roads were empty. But it was nice! We went all the way up till the garden rooftop. There were restaurants up there. But the garden was so miniature, they should really expand it or something! And yes on this unfortunate day, I lost my ez-link card and my matric card, only to retrieve it back the day after. Was so happy, thank God some aunty was smart enough to call up the school. You know, the loss of ez-link card (with student bus concession) can deprive you quite a deal.

So what have I been doing so far? Let's see. All I can remember was going out almost every single day. And if I wasn't going out, all I do at home is napping, naping and more napping. Ok on the plus side, I will not be able to do this when school starts next Monday. Currently reading Angus, Thongs & Perfect Snogging. Jeez, I should start with the intellectual books. Need to start reading Chetan's books bought from India, Tipping Point, Blink, Middlesex, Wednesdays Letters, A Hundred Years of Solitude and many more. Rewatching You're Beautiful, completed Coffee Prince and still in love with Lee Min Ho. Jeez. I cannot believe the recent meet-up with his fans costed a lot for them, and this was when I was still in India! Need to start revising French unless I wanna be one of the laggy ones in class. Need to earn money from tuition once again. And also, I need to really run! Am waiting to get through 2 more bidding of modules!

There's always 1001 things to do

Now, I supposed most Singaporean bloggers will harp about the flood at Orchard Road. I shall skip that, although I'd like to add that I actually woke up this morning (11 am) feeling so good because the weather's nice. Little did I know for two hours there was a flood at Orchard Road and to think that such occurences are rarity. Ok I hope they would start doing something to the drainage system. Working at Media C. for 2 days was quite an experience, except that Aiman and I did nothing much on Sunday and we kind of did a million more things on Monday because we had ongoing tasks to do. Plus we've met exciting people and also, hmm, interesting people (of whom we secretly gave nicknames for us to refer to). I suddenly thought of The Devil Wears Prada and I actually wonder how the life of assistants are in this line of work, are they really treated like shit? Is that a part of climbing up the ladder in this career path? Ok random. The awesome thing is really to see how they swi...

Dumbledore

I know this is probably another random entry. But I'm excited for Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows movie and I suddenly thought about the day when I read through the final pages of Harry Potter & The Half Blood Prince. I must admit, I was actually mourning for the great Albus Dumbledore when he died (or got killed rather). Not the kind of mourning that goes on for days, just a momentary one. And I pictured in my mind, how everyone in Hogwarts were mourning for their beloved Headmaster and how solemn the environment must have felt to the extent that I actually thought that the bedroom where I was, in this tiny, little Singapore, felt equally dull and grey as well. It's impressive how characters come alive like that and reel me into the world of stories. I even had texted Revathi about how sad I felt when I was done with the book. Pardon for the melodrama, but it's the power of narration, and of course the brilliant writer herself, J.K Rowling. And certainly, the mo...
