I feel so useless
I have the worst work ethic in the world. It's almost 6pm the night before my assignment is due in tomorrow and I feel as if it is SHIT. Proper SHIT. I guess I'm aiming it to anyone that does Economics/Business Studies/Or anyone who has knowledge of what is going on in the world. I'm calling out, so can someone help. Does it answer the question? As I don't think it does.
( SHIT. )
Much appreciated if anyone CAN help!

I got a job!
I am now a waitress up at the Downs making £5.05 an hour. If I worked 5 days a week, or maybe it's 4, I could make £350. I'm fucking happy. I go down on Monday to fill in last details and they have to take a photograph of me and then I start straight away they said. Honestly, I am so happy. I can finally afford my Summer holiday, consisting of hair maintenance, concert tickets, trips around the country etc. I can buy my day ticket for Reading (Panic! At The Disco + Dashboard Confessional, FUCK YES.) I can afford to bleach my hair next week with a top stylist, and I won't have to ask my mum to fund train tickets around the country. I will work so hard but right now I am so happy about this.
I tanned all day today. First this morning in my garden and then we went to a friends house to use their pool; English summers are incredible. Then tomorrow, Lydia comes! Yessssssssss, I am so excited to see her. We are going to abuse £2 Strongbow tomorrow night at the pub. I never want to leave this country, EVER.

| Hangovers. |
[14 Jul 2006|04:26pm] |
Must.
Give.
Liver.
REST!
My body hasn't been abused by alcohol this much since Term 1 of year 13 where I used to drink strong-mother-fucking-drinks with Steph at her house before going to WHU BAR. Yes, that's how long it has been, WHU BAR. I mix everything I can; Which probably isn't the smartest move. Plus, considering Strongbow is only 2 pounds, I abuse that fact to the absolute fullest. ALSO, considering I am lightweight-central, I never have to spend much to feel merry. Although I have actually learnt my limit (my Munchie will be proud too) I rarely pass out, I just go mad and then go home, sleep, wake up hungover, cure my hangover with energy drink a.k.a. Whoever-came-up-with-that-drink-is-GENIUS-GENIUS and then get on with the rest of the day before going out again. It is a vicious cycle, someone must stop me. I asked my cousin this morning, when we woke up feeling like pants, what a hangover actually was, however 'blonde' that sounds, I just didn't understand the concept.
I'm about to go fake tan now, hopefully I won't go les ORANGE
Also a much-needed diet starts tomorrow

I ADORE England, absolutely adore it.
I finally built up the courage to watch both Saw and Saw II and thought they were brilliant, fucked up, but brilliant. Although I did have to sleep with the light on afterwards. Yesterday I went up to beloved London and saw Singapore friends. Spent the whole day on Oxford Street shopping, eating and drinking Starbucks (I could shag the Banana Caramel Frappucino) I was shocked at myself though, I took plenty of money but bought nothing. I tried on a gorgeous summer dress in the bottom floor of Topshop, but it was too big. Bargain! 15 pounds, I was considering buying it and then just adjusting it myself. All in all, apart from lack of enthusiasm in shopping, it was much much fun.
My beyond favourite Art gallery isn't open again until early 2007. So therefore I won't be paying The Saatchi Gallery a visit. Well, I'll be the first one there when it opens with the new exhibitions.
So much stuff happening, I'm surprised my body isn't collapsing right now. Wednesday off to Oceana again for Student night I think. Everyone who comes and stays with me, I am taking you there. I finally get to go clubbing with my cousin in London at the end of the week! Can't bloody wait. Need to prepare myself with a) Plenty of money, b) Non-sweaty clothes to prepare for dancing, c) Healthy mind and good nights sleep the night before.
That's the basic update really. Once again I'm bored with my hair, but when am I ever.. Not? I think I need a DRASTIC change to be happy. I can't wait for my next colouring and cut.

It's such a sad day. It is the last ever day at Parsons Mead School (my old school before Singapore.) So, this morning there was a gathering in the Millennium Garden for present students and ex-students were invited. I cannot believe that it is closing down. I saw my old Maths teacher who I loved, Mrs. Faulkard and I saw my Art teacher, Mrs. Dawe and they're still as lovely as ever.
Ali and I, ex students
Cakes marking the dates of opening and closing.
With present students; Amandine, Katie, Joey and Sarah
There were students running around taking memories like pictures and stuff from the school & getting their shirts signed. I wish I could take the brick I signed when I left but that's kind of impossible. Farewell PM!
On another note: I have been trying SO hard to find a job for the Summer. But with hundreds of students all needing jobs this Summer, it's fairly difficult. The hairdressers never fell through because they filled up. I've looked in other hairdressers, restaurants and bars. But, I am hoping to now be given a place at the bakery for day shifts and possibly night shifts at a pub. I just need some way to fund my Summer holiday. It might make it better that I actually know the manager at the bakery, hopefully.
What else is new? Tonight going into Epsom with Al, Emma, Sarah and Gemma I think. Then I guess it'll be another day of job hunting tomorrow. AND most importantly, I bought tickets to see Panic! At the disco on October 22nd in London. So, Ing and I are going to go and have the best night watching them! I can't fucking wait, they'll be amazing live.

I guess I can embrace looking like shit nowadays. As, there is no way I'll be able to change it for the moment. Not without time in the sun, bleach for the hair, vast amounts of makeup to cover skin and lots of water to cleanup skin.
( Long Time No Lights, Camera, Action! )
He's just too gorgeous for words and I look like a bag of shit.
What a good night though; COME ON ENGLAND!

| Crappy Little Update. |
[31 May 2006|04:44pm] |
UPDATE.
+ Business Studies sessions are NOT fun. But are very useful considering my resit is next Monday. I am feeling confident too, something pretty rare
+ Go and try Coffee Bean's new "Lemon Zest". It's unbelievable, especially with this heat wave we're going through at the moment
+ Skinny jeans are not for me, unfortunately cannot pull them off. Mal and I went searching yesterday in various places. I did find a nice shirt from Topshop though that I'll go back for
+ Ate amazing sorbet yesterday with Malie
+ Can't stop thinking about exams, as I shouldn't. [3/8] I am now counting down
+ This evening I might swim because the pool will probably dry up at the rate of the sunshine
+ Tomorrow need to work, work, work then meet Amma and then go to Anna's for a few hours
+ Friday must work more and have been invited to Bethan's 'Spy' party in the evening
+ Sara comes in 22 and 1/2 more days :)
+ Kate arrives on the 27th, must take her out for big Singapore night! So everyone must come
+ Laura arrives on the 4th, Eileen arrives on the 5th. Laura, must ring you and see where you're staying on your first 1/2 nights as was going to offer you could stay at mine as I had to change my flight for UK. Will explain all on the phone
+ Go back to England and have my old school's 'Prom' to go to with my girls
+ Then Alice and I are hopefully jetting off to Spain for a holiday
I don't want to think about everyone leaving. It's going to be so difficult saying goodbye to those I don't know when I'll next see

I'm sick of my look. I cannot wait for my hair to grow, I'm sick of it being short. Yeah it was fun for a while but now it's boring and I just want it longer. I want nice long hair again, longer hair that I can straighten and do lots of cool stuff with. I then want to have it layered like a mother fucker so it doesn't look how it did last Summer, flat and dull. Then I'll have it bleached like there is no tomorrow, really funky and different but maintaining class. I'm sick of actually looking how I do now. I'm trying to tan and get 2 hours of sun a day during peak tanning times before revision otherwise I will look like shit at prom. I'm also sick of having a big bum and big hips. I get it from my dad's genes, my sister and I have huge hips and massive behinds and I hate it. Especially when I want a pair of lush skinny jeans but I'm too scared I won't be able to pull them off because of my hips. I'll buy them anyway but I just hope I can pull them off.
I guess I'm just having a bad day.
But i'm just frustrated and needed to get SOMETHING out.
Anyone know something that could make hair grow faster? What did Jennifer Aniston have when she cut all her hair off and wanted it to grow longer? God I miss long hair. Not the most important things in my life to be thinking about with exams just around the corner, but I refuse to look and feel like shit.

So, quick little update. Trying my very best to stay in touch with the outside world during revision/exams. Last night a group of us went up to the British Club. Firstly I picked up Ing and then we began our first 2 for 1 drinks at the bar. Then Claire came along after being dropped off, then a group of other people came all at once from Holland Village or something. It turned out to be a big crowd of us down there. But I ended up leaving quite early as I didn't want a late night but ended up having one anyway.
( Five photos to keep you entertained. )
I love calm nights like this nowadays

| EXAGGERATION! |
[22 May 2006|11:07pm] |
Just got home from an awesome afternoon/evening out with Ing,
and I'm going to bullet point it.
+ First of all picked her up after the first huge dilemma of text messaging/MSN conversation/phone call to see if we actually had the right timing
+ Picked her up and caught up on a few things (such as the fact that I am apparently now going to prom with Sam, which is completely untrue for anyone that heard otherwise)
+ Arrived at Far East Plaza to get Ing's tattoo filled in, but they weren't available so we're going back on Wednesday
+ Walked over to Wisma Atria and headed into a) Topshop b) Warehouse. Browsed through many ridiculous items of clothing such as a) Another parachute dress b) SHORTS! Then ended up buying a great coloured top from Warehouse
+ Then went and had dinner at this Sushi restaurant that Ing has been talking about for a while, so we finally went and ate there;
A.k.a. Best sushi of my life; Salmon Asparagus. And don't ask why I put this in black & white because I just wanted to
+ After finishing dinner (Or rather NOT finishing dinner for me considering I ordered enough to feed a third world country, we went across to buy tickets for 'Poseidon'. Along the way forming jokes about a) hippo's b) guinea pigs c) Garfield, all being massively exaggerated of course
+ Bought tickets for 'Poseidon' and then went to buy wine from Isetan and sat in 'McCafe' and drank it, as well as a mug of what was meant to be 'Fluffy' but turned out to be just warm milk
+ Finished the wine and went back to watch 'Poseidon', after arriving late, enjoyed the film immensely (definitely recommending everyone to go and watch it!) Massively exaggerated everything in that as well; Such as poor woman who should have 'gotten a grip' considering she followed a complete madman up through a ship, was made to climb through a vent only to be electrocuted on the other side! ANOTHER dilemma
+ Then wandered up Orchard trying to decide what to do but ended up just getting in a cab and talking about Garfield again and why he is a tiger?
Hahahahhaa, brilliant night

You know what I'm dying to get?
This:
I am saving up for it, or I could just ask for it as a 'reward' for when exams finish. I want to buy it in Singapore because i'm 100% sure it would be cheaper than the UK.
Something to look forward to I reckon!

| Mass Overload. |
[18 May 2006|08:31pm] |
A massive update is needed, urgently
AND I am just going to use bullet points.
+ I haven't updated because of a massive ordeal, which, I really don't want to explain as I've told the story 100 times and it's just getting tedious
+ Most of my coursework/Art exam were postponed, so, today I actually finished my Unit 6 piece for "Objects and Objectivity" that I started on Tuesday. I am so pleased! But, it's just hitting me that Art is over, I handed in my final unit today
+ My A-Level exams start on June 5th with my Business Studies resit and then the rest are middle and the end of June. Luckily, I have 4 papers to sit because of my subjects and the fact that I've already had a bulk of exams done already. (One benefit of taking 2 of the Arts)
+ Sara comes soon as well as Laura, and possibly Natalie and Eileen? Not really sure but I know I am staying longer in Singapore to see all of them
+ After that, then it's England for good. Already made so many Summer plans, considering it will be a Summer of NOTHING until University
+ Other than that, things in general involve; Taking it really easy, studying hard, enjoying every last opportunity of being in Singapore (I have already listed a bunch of things I need to do before I leave, such as taking one of those boat rides along Boat Quay that looks onto the CBD) I have a bunch of movies I want to see, and most of them have to wait until the exams are over anyway. Also, the day my exams finish my friend Kate is coming to stay from England with her step brother for a couple of days before they go to Aussie, exciteeemenntttttt
It's all about the exams right now; Until June 27th

| Yet Another Party. (+ Anneke's Photos!) |
[28 Apr 2006|01:27pm] |
WHAT A CRAZY EVENING.
And I looked like this:
A brand new outfit!
( Anneke's Photos - They're so good! )
It was a brilliant night. Firstly, I went shopping after school to get the new look and then got ready at home. Then, headed round to Ing's house for drinks before the British Club. It was an absolute mission getting a cab to get up there, it was raining as well. Once we arrived at the British Club, said hello to everyone and mingled around and drank Strongbow! After that, wandered down the hill and got onto the bus which finally arrived and had the best probably longest bus journey of my life. All the singing was insane! Then, we arrived at Changi and tried to find the house they had rented out, and once we had found it it was even more fun in store. Dancing, drinking, singing, socialising, everything that made it a great night. It was exactly what I needed, and took my mind off the entire day.
Thanks to Joe & Shrek for an amazing party!
