I should be mugging for my mid-terms on friday, but i have to write this somewhere so i can forget about it.

Hopefully.

I feel sad. And there's really only one reason why I'll feel sad. I don't understand how a mother can talk in that manner to a daughter. Even though she gave birth to me, and according to her, she has the right to say whatever she likes to me, because that's how she is. Does she see me as a human, or just a punching bag with no feelings whatsoever? I feel hurt. Because she's my mum, I hurt even more. Then I get angry, and i retaliate. I don't say nice things when I'm angry. Put me and her together for a day, and we all end up with scars.

...i dunno what i can do. i'm not a saint, but i definitely don't provoke.

One more year, then i'm off to beijing!!!

Hello! I'm here because I'm still feeling awake even though i just had four hours of dance! haha. now we're all working very hard to make this concert a success :) Lots of pressure 'cause the evening show sold out really fast! Now they added an afternoon show to cater for more people, so whoever's reading do come support!

Today I successfully got birdie to shit on newspaper twice! Very very happy :) I didn't believe the bird would ever cooperate with me in the poop department. If I do get it potty-trained, I can let it out of the cage for long periods of time. Then it'll stop screaming so much. Shall work harder! Here are some pictures:

A very wet birdie after having fun in its bath.

Birdie eyeing my handphone as always. I wish it would stop flying to my handphone whenever I try to take a photo of it! I often end up with pictures without the bird in it -.-

Birdie exploring the ornament hanging above my bed. 

First time out!

yest i was talking about letting birdie out of the cage. so today i did it! I didn't know how it was gonna be like, but i watched a couple of videos online and their owners seemed to be having so much fun with them. i thought it was gonna be messy 'cause of its projectile poop but it seemed to poop less when its having fun. haha. i still havent succeeded in touching the bird, but i'll continue trying! I'm sure it'll be more friendly if i play with it everyday. here are some photos:

Ah caught in the act! how dare you nibble my finger! when it was sitting on my shoulder it tried to nibble on my mole too-.- good thing it didn't really bite.

the reason why i only got half of its body is 'cause it decided to chew on my phone so i couldn't move the camera anywhere else. i think it has a thing for my handphone. more than once it perched on it when i flipped the phone open!

Nice shot on it sitting on my shoulder. It likes sitting on my head too, but i usually get it down 'cause i dont want poop in my hair.

And then it went to sit on yixin's shoulder! haha he totally got a shock when it flew towards him the first time. birdie likes to nibble on his ear.

On my shoulder, again!

I still can't get over how beautiful it is and why, of all places, it chose to come squawking at my door :)

Birdie playing with pencil. It keeps throwing the pencil down the table. I think it just enjoys having me pick up the pencil  for it.

Birdie playing with windchime! It loves anything that makes noise.

birdie playing with some feathery flowery thing. it gets really scared of it when i wave the flower in its direction. Damn cute to see it walk away then come back when i give it something else more fun.

Love the bird totally. I only wish it could be a little quieter in the morning when most neighbours are probably still asleep! at this rate i'm gonna get a letter from the town council soon, for waking all the neighbours.

Hello blog! Today I shall share the new stuff in my life! I replaced my 3 yr old laptop with this pretty blue baby - acer aspire 3830tg ♥ I traded in yixin's even older laptop and got it for only $999! 

Pretty isn't it! It's so awesome gaming without lag now, plus its so light (compared to my previous laptop, that brick!) and the super long battery life of 8 hrs makes it easy to bring everywhere. Very pleased with my purchase :)


These days I've been waking up latest 9am  'cause of the new addition to our family - a rainbow lorikeet! It's very beautiful, and very noisy too. It doesn't like to be ignored, so it screams and screeches in the morning until I wake up and go talk to it. My mum prefers having her breakfast first so she leaves the talking to me. Haha. Here's a few pictures of it:

It likes to wrestle with the orange pen cap. It gets all worked up when the cap swings around and 'attacks' it!

That's a toy i got it from a pet shop. The first day I put it in the bird tore off the mirrors on the toy-.-  destroying things is its favourite past time.

Today I added this long metal chain into its cage and it loves it! When i was swinging it outside the cage it put its whole leg thru the bars just to grab it.

Very close up shot before it started screeching at the top of its lungs cos it thought it got its leg stuck between the bars-.-

Ah that was how it came to me. I was so shocked when I opened the door and saw it happily perched on the bar and squawking as if it was getting raped or smth. 

Another toy that it loves! In fact i think it likes shiny stuff, especially if it makes noise. double happiness!

It looks fierce in this photo. It IS fierce, the first day it came flying into my house it drew blood from  my dad and i boohoo.

We thought the owner might be our neighbour, so my mum went down to ask them today. But it turned out it wasn't theirs! Looks like the bird will be staying with us for a while. I hope it'll get friendly enough to be let out of the cage!

THE VIRAL FACTOR

One film i'm looking forward to! I wonder how jay will be able to perform with such a strong actor in the show though. Ahaha i very bad. Jay will probably improve lots, as always.

I tried to stay up yesterday to wait for the election results, but I cldn't fight off the sleep monster :( It was really cool to know that so many people overseas were also glued to the comp, anxiously waiting for the results. Well now that the results are out, i feel really sad that mr george yeo had to go, and he was such a gentleman when he congratulated WP on their win! On the other hand, I'm also happy that WP won a GRC, and i hope that they will put their words into action. Or at least try to, given that PAP is still in power.

OMG vampire diaries.

I know this isn't the best time to be watching tv, but i couldn't resist watching this episode, especially when I found the live streaming channel just when it started airing. Good thing it's only an  hour a week.

Ah I'm so overwhelmed by what happened in this episode. Two of elena's closest relatives died, one her guardian, one her biological father. And both died trying to save her - the exact opposite of what she thought she was gonna die for. And so much for elijah being honourable - i went "OMG THIS CANNOT HAPPEN" when elijah took klaus away when he could just kill him and make the sacrifices all worthwhile. But well if that happened it wouldn't be as exciting anymore. Ah. And now damon might die, well of course the producers of the show won't let him die, so it's gonna be interesting to see how they're gonna make damon survive. And then he will hate himself for staking rose when he didn't have to...the writers are sure making damon suffer a lot more compared to stefan. I still love stefan more though <3 Can't wait for the season finale next week!

OKAY back to reality. Finally i can have a break from all this mugging - going to play badminton with yixin in a while. And yayy i find myself calm enough to start my mugging for today ahaha.

Awesome movie!

Yesterday marked the official start of my very limited mugging time, but i decided to go play anyway. In the morning I had to attend a conference about natural products and medicine, where most of the content sounded like alien language to me. There was a speaker who was very cute, he kept questioning if the theory of an ancient chinese doctor was correct, given that there were no scientific tests at that time to confirm the theory. So he did various experiments and found out that indeed, only at that particular drug ratio will the effects be most pronounced. I think it's really amazing! Then i went to meet yixin and we made our way to the sales events at suntec. Didn't buy anything though :( We walked around aimlessly until yixin suggested we go watch SOURCE CODE <3 Kept me at the edge of my seat from the start till end! Actually the idea of a parallel universe has been explored a lot already, I remember reading about it in Flashforward and even in Jay's SECRET :) It was still awesome-ly cool to watch how the movie made use of this concept. Highly recommended to watch! A good ending really makes a movie enjoyable!
