schoooool!!!

Okay, school’s starting in. Roughly 7 hours and 56 minutes time. And I’m sitting here, still online, still awake. Looking forward to it? I suppose so. Except I’ve gotten so used to the holiday lifestyle that it’s going to wake some getting used to, like for example going to sleep at the correct time (ahem).

But alright. Here it comes. A new school term. Time to refresh the files, the notebooks, the notes and start anew. From now on, everything will be neat and organised. Or so I tell myself. It never works.

(On another note, how come it is that every time school starts there’s nothing to wear, your empty notebooks disappear and your bag belongs perilously small?)

 

Star wars

A non-Star-Wars-watcher’s impression of the movie:
(To be fair, I didn’t watch a single episode)

My fingers and left brain got itchy again, and this time it resulted in this:

Pencil, sketching pen, and the few 1.2 coloured markers I have.

Details have been added helter-skelter everytime I felt like it. (:

On another note, got new toys for my dog today! So irresistible <3

 

Lost generation.

 

God lives.

Up till recently, I didn’t really think about it. Recently, however, I began to wonder myself: Why do I believe in God? How do I know He really exists? And how do I know He truly loves and cares about us all, despite the suffering all over the world?

Sure, I have questions from the logical side of my mind from time to time that need answering. But never did I sit down and seriously question how reliable the sources were, or how they have come to be. And I guess that’s because I never really had to.

I suppose the phrase “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” really is worth its fame. When I look back upon my life, sure, there were plenty of sharp turns and seemingly endless plunges that crushed my belief in plenty of things. But those things didn’t kill me. They just alerted me to what needed to be changed in my life, waking me up pretty jarringly sometimes (but fully necessarily, because I’m really pretty thickheaded) to point out to me that however perfect I feel my life is, there are alot of things that needs to be changed for me to be a better person because I am a terrible one. And overall, I’d have an easier life a few years (maybe more?) down the road.

God has never let me down. Well, at certain points, I certainly thought He did. But in time, I realised that He did in fact have a greater plan, and He never just played puppet with me for no rhyme or reason. God’s been there for me all this time, even if most of the time I don’t realise that yet.

He’s real, alright. And because He lives, I don’t have to wonder about anything else, because He will enlighten me in time to come.

And so I guess, all I have to do is trust (:

And so I leave you with one of my favourite Nooma videos! Whee. It’s definitely, definitely worth watching:

 

confused yet?

Aware of the lack of recent posts, apologies. I’ll be trying to be a little more frequent now, what with it being my holidays .

Anyway, stumbled across this ad while surfing FB:

Is that a pig? Is that a rat? Deformed hamster?

Yeah, now I guess I’d say I’m kinda confused /:

 

baybeats09 + other small stuff.

To make up for a lack of posts the past few months, here’s something to really blow your mind. Most important things first (DUH)!

Went to Baybeats 3rd year running! Didn’t go for the first day, was busy being a good girl and decided to attend cell instead .

It seems like every time I start thinking that I was wrong, that moshing isn’t all that fun, that all that happens is stupid people pushing other stupid people around, someone headbutts me really hard and reminds me (quite painfully) that being in the mosh just IS that fun, that painful, that stupid, and that worth it.

It’s one of those things you have to learn to enjoy on the spot, because the day after all you’re gonna do is curse yourself for being stupid and trying to keep your head from falling off your shoulders.

But WHO CARES because it’s SO FUN AND SO AWESOME.

PLUS. WE GOT TO SEE ANBERLIN LIVE AND ANBERLIN ROCKS!!!!!!!!!

This is them at their talk set in the afternoon, in the Esplanade library. Don’t have pictures of the full set because I was trying hard not to die and I didn’t want my phone to die.

Us, pre-mosh, pre-Anberlin rush. Waiting for them to come up on stage, watching people blow up condoms because they were that bored.

HEEEEEE we got to watch ANBERLINNNNN. AHHHHH!!!!!!

Went with a whole bunch of new people this year. And it was more awesome than ever ever ever. So glad they all came. Damn. Baybeats rocks. I can’t wait for the next one seriously.

Top Memorable Events that happened this time round:

1. Got headbutted. Ow.
2. Saw a pair of pumps and a pair of heels in the middle of nowhere after the crowd dispersed. Poor girls.
3. Saw someone in dangly earrings and heels pushing past me to get to the front of the stage. Then saw her push her way out wildly when the songs started (HEHE).
4. Realise that when the girls get hit, the guys beside them are the ones who get apologised to. Not the girls.
5. When you lose your balance, grab the person nearest to you and cling on for dear life. Either they fall on you, or they manage to pull you up and throw the stupid small girl away.
6. When a girl screams WTF IS YOUR PROBLEM to a guy, they don’t fight back, they get mortified. And girls like that are super power [click here to see just how power they are].
7. Condoms get really strange shapes when they’re blown up.
8. Don’t try to talk to someone when the music is playing. My throat lining is GONE.
9. The more people the merrier, like SERIOUSLY.
10. ANBERLIN ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE MY LIFE!!!!
