October of the year (eh?)

Some creative ads. Cheers it's October ! :)

life is good again

I have been reading a book from Ajahn Brahm, a Western monk who has been going round the world to teach and preach. One thing I learn the most is that in life we need to let go, and then life is good again. No matter what happens in life, the only way to survive mentally is to keep calm and let go.

This quote teaches everything a man should know about life

Days ago I went to Pasarame to buy beads for next term bustier. The shop was the one which supplies the best variety in town I guess. It was a weekday and the shop was packed. The shop assistant didn't bother to serve me well and I spent hours there slowly picking one bead and another, fighting with my ego to be mad and leave. Then at one point I was so tired and leave the last bead not chosen.


2 days afterwards which is today I brought my Mommy along to that shop and I received super nice service. Then the shop assistant ignored everybody else like she did to me 2 days ago. She patiently let me choose the bead and recommended some nice Japanese beads. One old dude and two young women were waiting there to be served, and the shop assistant very nicely let me choose, yelling to them to wait for their turn. And for your information that old dude only wanted to change the color of the bow he bought. I kept myself from telling her that it only took a minute to serve him. What a shame of this town.


Yesterday I also went to an office to make e-KTP (identity card). My Daddy brought me there, we entered the building and straight away I got to my turn, no matter how long the queue was. It's for 20,000 IDR 's sake. I was so embarrassed that I skipped all queue I could see the eyes of the people queuing. Maybe this is not the country we belong. 


I remember queuing at Indonesian Embassy in Singapore to update my passport, in the middle of busy afternoon in busy week. At least I felt good that time you know.

California girl

Dear March,


I'm such a happy girl these days. Today is a good start of a lovely month. Hi March :)
I just got back from Starbucks, working on group project of Quality Control with my Chinese mate. She's such nice person. I'm disappointed of myself for stereotyping people of being "don't care what's going on". She is so helpful and participating. Above ALL,  I spoke Chinese a lot. Rarely have chance to practice my Chinese.


The end of month I'm getting home for a week.


Dear March and the world and mum and dad. I want to move to California. There got lots of my dream jobs.

Audrey Hepburn with her movie Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) was huge influence in fashion, to be called fashion icon and best actress of the time. Whatever it is, she is such a cute adorable superpower woman. :)

Hi how are you

Im fine life's good so far, except for some tears I shed last night. Maybe I was too demanding or perfectionistic about him. Nothing is ever enough if it's abt him.

These few days , I call them turning point of my life (again). I wanna change to be a little bit tolerant. And also I think I should stop slacking. And also.. to be a lil bit more aware of the world I m living in. 

It is not a fairytale, in which everybody tell the truth and smile from heart, or help sincerely.

tmrw gonna watch Midnight in Paris after class. oops, just broke a promise not to slack.

Bonne Nuit 

:)

lalaland

it's a lalaland.


Yesterday was whole day out with two of my friends. It was greatest Saturday ever in 2012.
Today I m so much craving for steamboat buffet opposite to school. Hope tonight somebody has enough appetite as mine to have a steamboat buffet (again).

wandering

Weekend hits. :D

It's long rest with few things to do. I ve listed movies to watch and a shopping day tomorrow. Sch has been sucha busy bee to my these weeks. with 2 classes on next two Saturdays.

I just love LOVE my life muchas.

Good friends good life good things to see.

Quite a nice city. Forget to mention good food.

2 days ago I went to Steamboat buffet with two of my friends for only 20 bucks.

it was a place exactly opposite our sch which is very crowded every night. 

Loving the food so much gotta go again next time XD

out of grays

This is my first post in 2012, life has been so nice to me it never bores me with works. Sch is off for 4 days n I hv time to do whatever I like though I still have some projects to complete.
Recently I m so into fashion blogs and staring-into-couture-world. Fashion amazes me as always, but the epic amazement comes more when I ve known a bit more of it since my study in fashion. 


What I really want to do now is to go to Chinatown for the whole day, spending hours in each fabric shop to find some fabrics for my project. I m so staring into my 2 fabrics of grays, wondering what the lecturer will say abt them.


Thakoon is stunning me with the pre-fall 2012

tadaa.. like finally it's long rest for me bcoz today is Public Holiday :)
last Saturday we felt like in Project Runway, pacing with time to turn in our first skirt project.
I dont feel satisfied with this skirt but at least. it's quite an acceptable first-timer's job.

pardon the poor quality of the photo as I took this pic just with my PC front camera. It's a printed document which I pasted in front of my desk. Just to remember the lesson I learnt from mistakes in this project so next time I make other mistakes, not these ones anymore.

HAPPY HOLIDAY! :) can wait to go back home on 20th December.

the picture above is one of my 2 skirt projects to be done in the next 6 weeks. And I realize it's only 6 weeks as I'm typing this. Life is too hectic too hectic I m so tired. But I also dislike life with nothing to do like in my early weeks this term.

Just wish me luck. By the way I really wanna go to Marina Bay Sands to see the Haute Couture exhibition my lecturer inform me about. Or even to watch a movie about Karl Lagerfeld tonight at 9.45. Guess I'm just gonna stay at home. Finishing some work. I have lost this weekend and I m not really happy bout it. I don't lose weekends. Never.

weekend rocks

my Friday feels like Saturday and Saturday feels like Sunday. So Sunday has been a bonus weekend to me. :) 
Thanks God the days were surrounded by loveliest people in my world.
Friday was my Saturday night out <3
Saturday was my besties day, two of us
Sunday I went shopping with my friend at Bugis Street and I got 3 perfect bags.
Three is three
it is many, i reckon.


so this is my perfect weekend in the perfect place and lovely people.


Welcome Monday.
Spend less money.
Work harder.
Stop slacking.

somebody to love

having somebody to love is

a little bit of more pain and bliss

a little more to take care of

and count on

it' s a little more of joy and tears

and colors in our sky

having somebody to love is

just a little easy thing

don't take it too seriously

it's just a little more love, and life.

sweetest lie.

"i had ever waited for a year for you to come back to me.

now that I ll wait for you till forever." 

my ivory tower

the guy again.

in a rainy afternoon I cried for all the memories from those afternoons we spent in high school

I dunno what you are to me

I dunno till when this is gonna go on

you re simply always here, etching a little more memory in my life.

as much as you can as long as we have chances

now that my tears slipped seeing thru the pictures in my phones

September,November,December..and now August again.

life goes on like circle 

some people come some go

I just know you re not gonna be here forever I know it

It's just a little more memory..

we never know right?

now and then

and when I look back I saw the smiles.
my life has been amazing that I smile and cry
knowing it will be forever memory that I could never come back


but I

 have faith on the future.

midnight in Singapore

i am doing fine. very fine.

many things to tell.

from the tears of missing hometown and friends

from the pressure of demanding lecturers

from the people I am missing and the ones I start loving

from the certainty inside and uncertainty outside

from the world I know of life

from the people I know I couldnt trust

from the smiles, and learning and everything

mind beezy like bee

Hello Wednesday,tomorrow is already last day of national exam. I have been sitting here in front of this screen for 2 hours,searching though Raffles website. Achievements. God,I am feeling so lucky I choose this school for my fashion design study. I am excited to go,yet a little fear creeps on me. What if.. What if..

but then I decide to have a little faith,and a bunch of determination.

I've got to walk tall. Gotta reach my dream that far.

I promise.

My Musketeers

I miss everything everything about us
it's a beautiful memory for all
on June last year was girls' day outs
all along the year was sweet 17 bday parties
some weeks on holiday was swimming marathon
on CNY was bai nian to teachers' houses
sometimes it is mall marathon,movie nights
food hunting with the thamciak girls
last Christmas eve we spent together till midnight
months ago was endless voting on class uniform
sometimes it's just strolling round the school taking pics
year ago was tears of letting go of a friend abroad
birthday surprises
volley ball matches
basket ball challenge
the euphoria of loyal supporters


and I'm on the verge of tears

morning after tears

hello it's me a highschool graduate to go,feeling bad inside just because I miss the blueish classroom,the crowded canteens,and the friends with their uniforms on. Monday is going to be first day of national exam but I'm still trapped in the past reminiscing the moment of high school. Yeah high school now hears so dramatic to me. I wish I had known this feeling long before graduation.

but then life goes on baby.
it's just a start,afterall.
:)

"you have to walk tall. go with the dreams and sing strong. say what you feel it's a big world."

  

Sincerely,

Ms. Missing High School
