Gummy bear warriors ehehehehehehe

Sometimes I wonder why my mother has to be the way she is. Would she not feel happier if she stopped her constant nagging and stopped picking on such little things which everyone else doesn't notice? I know that this is probably how all mothers are, but when it gets too much, all you wish for is peace in the house. After all, who doesn't like a deep, deep peaceful atmosphere where you can be anything you want to be. Anything, anyone.

On a lighter note, i've been trying to search for THE perfect chalet for our section chalet and i've more or less found one. It's q pricey though. 535 dollars for a night is really scary if you think about it, but considering the fact that there would be ~6 batches of clarinets stuffed in there, I think a big chalet would be best (: I wish Singapore had better chalets which are of a more modern style instead of those really old, normal ones. Besides, the weather does affect the mood and Singapore's weather is just SO unsuitable for chalets. Thank god for air conditioners in the chalet.

I was selected for the UK study trip alongside MANY others like Joyee Yvonne and a heck lot of band people. But then again, i'm still considering whether I should go for my family trip to Korea or to UK. Obv I can't go for both because the UK trip alone costs approximately 3500 dollars excluding shopping which would probably cost a bomb ): If I go for both trips, it would be almost seven thousand which is a crazy amount of money to spent just on travelling.

Oh yes. Recently i've been thinking, why do some people who aren't even THAT rich spend money that freely? My conclusion was that their parents probably spent money the same way on shopping, holidays and other wordly possessions and thus, their children follow their way of spending money. I really don't understand how people can spend money without even thinking about their financial status and how much savings they have saved up in case of an emergency. So what if you have a really expensive car, a condo, and yearly trips to far away places but don't have basic financial planning such as savings and a proper insurance? When trouble hits you in the face one day, would you not regret your frivolous ways of spending in the past??

I have chemistry SPA, math quiz, bio quiz, geog quiz and a thousand other things on next week. Feel a headache coming.

Have neglected this space for an eternity but writing again makes me feel as though i've returned to my comfort zone. Weird huh.

The past two months have been a whirl of activity, disappointment, stress and excitement. I've overcame exams, broken dreams and obstacles I never thought I could pass. But now, there's this great big boulder right smack in my face which I know I would have to claw my way through sooner or later. I've drawn up a plan and hopefully, cross my fingers cross my toes, I would be able to emerge victorious after a month or so. I know that so much self control, motivation and tolerance is needed and truthfully, i'm afriad of failing once again. All I can do now is to hang on to that shred of hope and start crawling my way up/down, depending on how you view it hahaha

On to more musical issues, SYF is over and I would be lying if I said that I didn't feel disappointed over the Silver we attained. We worked so hard, we fought so fiercely, we cried so much that the least we expected to get was a Gold. The tears after the results were announced served to remind us about our passion, our hard work and all the other promises we have yet to keep. After thinking, it can be said that the Silver we attained didnt matter after all. Instead, it is the process which we would treasure and learn from. The amount of passion, the lessons learnt, the friendships forged are all the results we need. And that's all we would ever bring away when we leave the concert hall. No bitterness, no hatred and no disappointment. Instead, passion, joy and a stronger friendship. Oh and not to mention, a band which is that much stronger and united in all aspects.

On a side note, I held a bake sale 2 days ago and i've received ~10 orders so far. That made me so glad and thankful for having such supportive friends/batch mates. Tmr's the baking dayyyy so glad for something which is able to distract me from everything in this world. Oh and if any of you have time, search MARU on youtube. Cutest fat cat in this world and the only cat I would ever like HAHAHA

Ending off, everything i'm carrying on my shoulders just push me down more each day but at the end, I KNOW that I will stand victorious and strong. Press on, Tasha, press on.

CNY so far has been well, at best, mundane. It seems that everyone's complaining of the lack of new year spirit and excitement this year, and I can't agree more. It feels just like the weekend, except for the uh ang pows hahaha that's my favourite part all that money! So, today was spent at my grandfather's house just lazing around and playing poker/blackjack. Tomorrow's going to be even more boring, I predict.

On a side note, today when a few guys walked past my cousin's ferrari, one of them commented that he would have to sell his house plus work for the rest of his life before he would be able to buy that car. And then I thought, wait till you see the whole fleet his family owns. Cousin himself has a ferrari, audi convertible, lexus. Sister has a porche. Mother has a bmw and a lexus. Father has a ferrari which he had to fly to Italy to learn how to drive it simply because no one in Singapore has it. Oh and a house in sentosa cove. Can someone explain to me the logic behind all this?!

My brother went for a test drive in it this afternoon, damn should have went to. But no, was too busy playing black jack.

In any case, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Of the rabbit. (Peace sign)

Have been so busyy these fews days because of band and other commitments in school and everywhere else around the world. I've been running back and forth so much sometimes I just stop in the middle of what i'm doing and just you know, breathe normally for a minute. Being so busy, it makes me feel as if my life's meaningful and well spent, but sometimes what I really wish for is a day off to just chill and do things which don't require any brains or effort. Like, uh, baking. I'm sorry I always seem to be baking, but baking defines my life. It throws everything back into perspective and it's as perfect as anything can ever get.

Lately, i've been wondering if she realizes that all of her symptoms are bordering the dangerous level. If she doesn't stop denying the fact soon, she's going to end up with horrible consequences, i'm sorry to say. I hate thinking about all these matters which only add on to the weight i'm carrying, but some things can't be ignored no matter how hard I try.

Had funline instead of frontline in church today and my cg was in charge of the food and games this week. We had milk tea, honey joys, rice krispies treats, nutella/pb sandwiches. It was fun, to say it simply. But in actual fact, it was an awesome bonding session. Being in church makes me feel so clean and detatched from school, don't even bother asking me why.

It's still raining oh my it's the fourth/fifth time this day! The weather's been really out of whack these days, I don't really mind except that, why can't it rain during morning assembly every morning?!

Alexander McQueen Prefall 11'

My sister dedicated a post to this collection from McQueen and honestly, I think i've fallen in love with most, if not all of the pieces.



Just a peak into the gorgeous jawdropping collection. Like what my sister said: These are beautiful. Even beautiful is an understatement.

Away from that, I feel somewhat complete now after having purchased the items I lusted after for an eternity. Okay not quite an eternity, but long enough. Like what I tweeted, i'm not planning on spending any more of my parents' money for the time being. Feel too guilty because they bought the stuff for me so readily when I don't really deserve any of it. Like what others say, our parents really are the only ones you can count on when everyone else disappoints us. Although they can get rather annoying at times. But that's a different matter altogether hahaha

5 quizes in the coming week. 3 Chemistry 1 Biology 1 Math. And may I add that we're still in the first month of school?

Today, Shzeyuin was telling us about this friend she had, filthy rich and born with a thousand of social responsibilities on his shoulders. He was taught to read, eat, talk, discuss like an adult in the upper class of the society and he virtually knew every conversation topic adults talk about during stiff, formal sit down dinners. He knew the current price of Gold, something only adults who study the market are aware of. For breakfast, he drank coffee and read the newspapers like what a 50-year old business man would do and he could down 3 shots of espresso in one sitting.

This got me thinking real hard. Would a teenager, full of dreams and aspirations, want to be controlled in this manner just so he would be able to live up to his parents' expectations and thrive in the social world of his? What about the fun he was missing out on? Eating fruitloops for breakfast, chatting leisurely about his new classmates or just having a chill out momment when he could just let go of everything and be a normal boy. Given a choice, I would choose an ordinary carefree life on top of the life I earlier mentioned. Sure, I wouldn't be at the top of the social ladder and I wouldn't have every material item I wished for. But, I would be happy and that's all that matters. Is that not so?

Baking session at Esther's house today, cupcakes were succesful in taste. But I can't say the same for they're appearence HAHA They rose so nicely in the oven but when we brought them out, they sank in the middle ): Think it was due to overbeating which caused that to happen. But the taste was really good though, the chocolate taste was complex enough, unlike the commercial ones which taste vaguely of chocolate flavouring. Real cocoa powder's the way to go :>

Should be getting my phone tmr, unless my dad has meetings or whatnot. My excitement has kind of died down, no idea why.

The news on Nanyang having experimental Ipad classes have been getting mixed comments HAHA choo was so agitated she commented oh my I'm actually too lazy to scroll through all the comments so I didn't dare comment :/ Want to be in the Ipad class though ):
