Updates

Courtesy of Aliya who shouted out for me to update. :)
Just returned home from a 4 day stay-over at my auntie's place; 4 days with the Baby Monster certainly helps you hone your disciplining skills, inspired by Supernanny, of course.
Some details for those of you interested in what's going on with my life... (not many, I'm sure.)
  • Cut my hair from waist-length to shorter than shoulder-length. (Ask me if you'd like to see a photo?) I must say that cutting your hair really shaves years off your face... My hair grows at a pretty fast rate though.
  • No internship/part-time job as yet.. I totally empathize with Firdaus' entry . (The first few paragraphs!) Hopefully I'll have good news in time to come..
  • Currently volunteering at Singapore City Gallery; do come visit me! (Msg me if you're planning to, I'm only there when there are school groups visiting the gallery.) It's actually quite fun and not many Singaporeans know of it. It's 3 storeys high, educational and interactive (I get a kick out of pressing buttons to see what happens). To summarize, it's basically a mini-museum on the history and future of development of space and infrastructure of Singapore. Great for those interested in architecture too! I've learnt so much more about Singapore and its little-known secrets through the various complimentary pamphlets they provide for the visitors; meeting and talking to interesting/good-looking/amusing visitors adds to the fun. My mini-advert thus ends here. :)
  • Attended a training to be a HIV Champion with Standard Chartered Bank (I'm beginning to like this bank more and more! Ask me if you want to know more, eh?) - our role is to conduct outreach sessions with students and educate them about HIV and AIDS.
  • Signed up for more volunteering stuff with miscellanous organizations - more updates on those soon.
  • Watched Da Vinci Code and Paradise Now; planning to watch X-Men 3 soon.
  • Busying myself with the usual SMU Ambassador stuff, misc. design work; yes, yes, I'll try to get down to finish editing that film. :P
  • Went on a mini photo-op on my own (pictures to be uploaded as soon as I find my camera! Argh!)
  • Currently suffering from good reality tv withdrawal symptoms; no more American Idol! (Adding to the list are Survivor and Amazing Race 9, though I only made an effort to catch the last few episodes of these two.) Hopefully I'll survive on my TV dosage of CSI (How could they postpone 2 weeks of it to show repeats of Singapore Idol?!), Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy, just to name the good few.

Ok, I'll have to go off to sleep; have to be in school at 11 am for a pre-event briefing and an interview at 3pm. My schedule has been pretty packed these past 2 weeks (my desktop calendar has a dot on almost every date!) Next week promises to be much free-er; I really need to find time to clean up my desk area!

Would still love to meet up/go on little holidays with whoever wants to... Drop me a call/sms/email eh? I'll still be here, no matter how busy I am. :)

Blast from the Past


The same time last year, I was enjoying the cold weather at Genting. This year, I'm just rotting at home, printing photos and facing a messy room that begs to be clean once again. I hope I muster enough motivation to clear all the junk from the previous semester and start on that unfinished film project. Meanwhile, I'm busying myself with community service and scouring for internship/earning opportunities.
(By the way, I've always wondered if it was a guy or a girl wearing the adorable elephant suit. I hate to admit it but I squealed upon seeing it and immediately asked it to take a photo with me.)
PS: I forgot to add that I made a photo collage of my baby photos, relatives, friends in a huge frame (yesterday!) and I hope to hang it up on my wall so I can see it whenever I'm working at my desk. It's quite an accomplishment since I'm a procrastinator when it comes to these things (I bought the frame last year) and it took quite a bit of time and effort to choose the photos and print them all in one day. Given that it's such a rare moment that I finish my little DIY projects, maybe I shall post a photo of it after I've uploaded it. =)

Away on Retreat

Off I go to NACLI for ASMU Retreat for good food, great company & lots of fun! Will be away from 5 - 7 May; there's always sms if I am being dearly missed. *grins* Happy Polling Day in advance eh? ;)
In the meantime, I've updated my new site with more photos. Still on the lookout for better photoblog/portfolio templates, do tell me if you guys spot any. :)
My laptop has been backed up; I just have to carry it over to school to be reformatted, alas, the bed seems much more enticing than waiting in school for the reformatting and installation to end. Any brave souls willing to accompany me to school (and have lunch!) next week? :(
I have yet to pack my stuff for tomorrow! Hasta la proxima, mis amigos encantadores. *muacks*
