In the aftermath of P2.
Wednesday, January 30, 2013 @ 9:32 AM with 0 comment(s)
So guys,

P2 IS FINALLY OVERRRR. YAYYYY.

Just really thankful that I managed to finish my stuff. Although I'm not too sure about my marks or anything, but ain't nobody got time to worry about that now. I'm pretty thankful for P2 though, in a weird way, because other than the fact that I've been able to see God's grace, I've gotten to make new friends too. I also feel that P2 has allowed my class and the other PID class to work together more. Like I know most of them now, which is nice. PID is shrinking rather quickly and a bonded class/course is what I always wanted to have. I think this may be the place which I finally get to experience class/course bonding. They really are a bunch of awesome people.

After P2, things haven't been getting any slacker in the least. With marketing, Communicating design ideas, and Public speaking, I still have a crap load of work to do. The only good thing  is that I'm able to sleep at more earthly hours now and not 5 freaking am in the morning. -.-
I honestly cannot wait for my holidays at all. I have A LOT of things which I intend to do.

1. Finish reading "The fault in our stars" and other John Green books.
2. Go to the zoo to see the pandas
3. Go out
4. refer to 3
5. Repeat 3-4 until holidays are over.

Ok. not really a lot. SORRY GUYZ. I HAVE A LOT MORE BUT IT'S LATE. I HAD 4 HRS OF SLEEP CAN'T THINK OF ANYMORE. Lol.
But you get the point.

Thank God for good lecturers so far that's all I can say.
Goodnight.
xx.

All I hear is raindrops, falling on the rooftop.

I need to learn how to take earlier baths. Seriously. It's like 130am and I haven't taken a bath yet...Dirty Carissa is dirty. Lol.  But honestly, the weather is so cool, it's almost pointless to bathe when you don't sweat right?
Idk, the weather has been awesome and cool these few days.
Like, don't you feel that when you go overseas, then the weather is 5 degrees or something, and you just don't see the need to bathe at all. I think the only reason why I bathe even though I don't sweat is cuz I want my hair to smell nice. Lol. I think nice smelling hair is good, and I'm actually pretty conscious of that sometimes. Then again not really, cuz I'm fabulous even though my hair smells. :B (Nonsense. haha.)

On another brighter (or not) note, I spent like $33.40 on top coat and base coat... .... yeah. I'm pretty insane. Lol. BUT IT'S SALLY HENSON GUYZ. SALLY. HENSON. A girl can splurge right? And I'm going to make it a point to paint my nails really often. So there. GOOD BUY.(and it was buy 1 get one free for the top coat ok. humph.)

IT'S THE LAST WEEK FOR P2 OMGZZZZZ. Yeah. Bimbo moment. But seriously, there's so much crap to do, (so stop blogging and get to it Carissa. -.- ) and I should get started (yes, you should.). Then there are people who are mad and they "chiong" and like finished all 3 products already. Thanks.-.-

But, so long as I do my best, I guess.

Okie, going to pack up for tomorrow. Have a morning class, have to go in like 10mins early or something, "or else you'll be marked as late." Nonsense la. sigh. -.- AND not to mention that I have to carry A LOT of stuff for the next few weeks, so if anyone's:
1. Staying near my house
2. Studying in TP/ Taking a bus that goes past TP
3. A good and strong guy friend of mine

You are most welcome to contact me so we can bus to school together and you can help me carry things. (:

THANKS. haha.

xx.

We'll make the great escape.

HELLO AGAIN.
SO, recently a whole lot of things have been happening.
Well, actually just like. 1 main thing - school. and all it's horrible projects.
ugh, Like P2, the art collage thing, and CDS speech.

And to have it in the midst of my birthday, not fun. -.-

But then again, thanks so much to all those to wished me on my birthday!
And yes, I did some social experiment as to see who would remember my birthday. haha. That caused lot of people, to be like. "CARISSA. Y U NO TELL ME." and like. idk. how do you tell someone it's your birthday?

"eh, where's my present. My birthday today leh."

Lol. It's so weird.
But anw.
Thanks to everyone who wished me or know-you-would-have-wished-me-if-you-knew, THANK YOU.

Also, a huge and special shout-out to my two wonderful friends Yan Yi and Jing Fei, who surprised me with (cup)cake. YAY. Thanks JF for coming all the way down to TP and to YY for organizing it, because he would have forgotten anyway. HAHA. Jk. Still love the both of you okie. (: [heartshape]

3 lovelys. Love you both.

There were actually more cupcakes, like. 6. haha.
But YY didn't take pictures, and I didn't know there was going to be some sort of celebration and therefore left my camera in the workshop (and it was locked -.- ).
I loved the red velvet one. Wheeee.

And also to Leanna Emmanuel who wished me "Happy Birthday" at regular intervals of the day. Lol.
And to the people who gave me pressies. =D Hee. (we all love pressies ok. don't try and act.) Thank you! *virtual hug*
Last but not least,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANELLE NG. heartshapeheartshape
I can't put picture of you, because all the pics have Celia in them, and the 3 of us are sandwiched together, cannot crop. Lol.
There is one though, but it's quite obscene due to the fact I'm wearing FBTs and you have a weird face. hahahahaha. I'll show you the picture next time. But I just wanna say there's no one I'd rather share a birth date and similar timing with, more than you. (:
LOVE YOU FOREVER DARLING.

Ok, so yeah.
Now I have to do P2.
Was suppose to get started in my lamp and flower pot like, 4 hours ago. ohwoops -.-
And also the collage which I have no freaking idea what to do, or how to do it.
And the tape dispenser. Ugh.
Nvm, one day at a time. I don't really understand why people say they want this week to end. NO. SLOW DOWN WEEK, SLOW THE CRAP DOWN.
I need more time.

The weather now is just so perfect for a hot chocolate, a good book and a cuddle from someone special.
Too bad I have none of the above. ):

Forever alone.
by choice. >:)

haha.
kbai!

xx.

Happy Birthday Yan Yi!!!!

So let me just say that 140113 was a pretty fun day, well, evening to be exact. It was Super, man. LOL. sorry, I had to. Private joke. So yes, good day, other than the fact that I left my wallet in sch, AGAIN. -.- ugh, I'm such a scatterbrain.

Anyways, that's not the point of this post.

THIS is. /points down at the very big picture/



tadaaaa, look what I did. haha.
I know the birthday girl is reading this, so I'd just like to say to her:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR!
I hope you like the collage. haha. Notice how I only put pics of us WITHOUT that person (as you so like to call him.) Heee.
Thanks so much for always being such a good friend to me. I really really appreciate it. Although we may not talk everyday, meet up everyday, know that I'll always be there for you if you ever need someone to laugh with, cry on or just go siao with, you can count on me ok?
Stay beautiful inside and out. We should meet up soon and have a proper celebration with CAKE. Wheeee~ CAKE.
God bless you!
Love youuuu. <3



OK, that's about it for today's post. haha. I have a feeling I'll be doing more birthday wishes here.
Also, I want a new phone.
An iPhone preferably.
teehee.

Ok. That's about it.

GOODBYEE.

xx.

604800 Seconds.
Sunday, January 13, 2013 @ 9:00 AM with 0 comment(s)
That would be a week for you normal people. Not that I count my time in seconds either, cuz that would be just AFI (asking for it) and I would be late even more often than usual.

Well, the blog still looks alive and running, whoohoo! (:
Last week has indeed been a really interesting week.
From meetups with friends whom I've missed and not seen often enough, to talking to someone whom I've never talked to before, hearing music which I haven't heard in a really long time...receiving things like drunk text messages and o level results.

Yeah, that kind of sums up my week. I am hoping that a few of those moments happen again - definitely NOT referring to reciving O Level Results. O Levels, this is goodbye. We are never ever ever ever getting back together. (See what I did there? haha.) But yeah, not to mention, this is a pretty special week. /hinthintwinkwinnkblinkblink/

With P2 and everything, I honestly shouldn't have time to blog, but seriously. 3 posts 3 weeks into the new year??? Actually that's not too bad...hmmm. I'm in the middle of a post anyway, might as well finish it.
Can't wait for all these P2 nonsense to be over. THEN I CAN PARRRTYY during my 3 months holiday, which I seriously doubt will be a legit holiday.

Ok, it's like 1am. Still pretty early, but I gotta wake up early tomorrow, or else Ms Isabelle WILL kill me for being late like, 3 lessons in a row. (THE LESSON I CAME EARLY SHE DIDN'T COME. WHAT IS THIS. -.- ) So yeah, gonna take a shower and stuff because I am disgusting and didn't shower yet. Whoopdeedoo. haha. And may I add that the lizards in my house are pervs because they make that mating noise when they are in the bathroom and someone's bathing inside. what the crap man, is that some sort of fetish for humans or do we all look like giant lizards to you?

Ok, that was a pretty  horrible ending thought. haha. oh well.

Goodnight! (:

Yay. That's done. I enjoy doing stuff like that. 

Also, I'm gonna be doing a short post about Girl Crushes.
So, I never exactly heard the term "girl crush." until I saw this gif of Jenna Marbles on tumblr. And so I went to watch her video. And other than all the swearing, there is quite a fair bit of sense to it.
Having a girl crush does not mean you become lesbian or something. I think Jenna brought up a good point. There are 3 stages and although it's not exactly what she said, I think this kind of sums it up, kinda.
Stage One: I want to be your best friend
Stage Two: I want to be you
Stage Three: I would run away with you.
I haven't gone to stage 3 yet. I don't think I want to . Lol. But it's mostly a lot of stage 1 girl crushes. 
But anyways
I do believe that every girl WILL have a girl crush at least once in her life. And if you don't, you're lying. At one point of time, all of us girls wanted to be a girl from...Hi-5, or something. I don't know. And there's nothing wrong with that! Also when we look at a pretty girl or meet a really nice girl and we think she's really pretty and nice and be like "If I were a guy, I would date her." nothing. wrong.
I mean, at one point I did wonder what the bible said about stuff like that. And then I saw the verse Philippians 4:8. I think it kinda told me that my form of girl crushes aren't wrong.
Philippians 4:8Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
(Yes, I did just copy and paste that from biblegateway.com. But the point is, )
When I have a girl crush, it's not like I'm thinking of her in a sexual way or whatever, but there is nothing wrong with liking a girl's looks/body/talents/personality to a very large extent. WE ARE FRIENDS WITH PEOPLE BECAUSE WE LIKE THEM FOR GOODNESS SAKE.
And that to me is the definition of a girl crush: Liking a girl's looks/body/talents/personality to a very large extent in a non sexual way.
So deal with it. And with all that being said, I will now proudly list down my girl crushes. In no particular order:
 1. uuuuuuuukewithme aka Nichole
Ok, so I know not everyone likes her voice and some say she squeaks and whatever. BUT I THINK SHE HAS A REALLY NICE SMILE and that she's one of the few people who's squeaky cute voice isn't a huge turn off. So there. (but I have no idea how she remembers her username. I know I can't."

 2. Stephanie Micayle
Ok, so if she saw this, it would be kinda embarrassing and maybe slightly stalkerish, but whatever. I first heard her voice on radio on "So you wanna be a DJ." And I was never obsessed over a girl's voice until I heard her's. So yeah. And she sings so good. <3 AND SHE'S CURRENTLY ON A TV AD. Whoo. So I love her voice. and she seems like a really nice person too. (:
 3. Son Yeon-Jae.
I know Celia is with me on this one, because we both stalked her after she appeared on the Olympics. She's prob the closest to a stage 2.  And my mum agrees that she's super sweet and I really wanna be best friends with her, please. I'd learn Korean so that I could talk to her. Not kidding. haha.

4. Lia Marie Johnson
From "Kids/Teens React to. And yeah, I just love her personality. Love. She's just the kind of person who you'll be instantly attracted to. Not to mention she recieved marriage proposals on youtube (now THAT is creepy.) Oh and she's like. 16. Lol.

Oh. and Nina Dobrev is hot.


Ok, I shall actually get down to doing stuff now. Blog again some other time. (:

xx.

Chapter 1: Hello 2013.
Tuesday, January 1, 2013 @ 1:08 AM with 0 comment(s)
Hello there!
Guess who decided to go back to blogging?
That's right, me.
I think this is my 5th attempt at keeping a blog alive, so let's see how successful this one will be.

Well, here, I guess you'll expect to see a whole lot more ramblings, reflections and um, I don't know what else to put here. I guess whatever I feel like putting. Oh, and also a place to do those 100 questions quiz things. I actually really like wasting time and doing stuff like that, so yeah. =D

A BLOG IS A LEGIT PLACE TO PUT LONG WRITINGS WHICH NOT EVERYONE CARES ABOUT.

On a slightly more serious note, I think it's also a good place where I just get a chance to reflect on my QT thoughts. I realise that I have a whole lot more thoughts than I actually write down in my journal, and most of the time, I struggle to read what I write due to my "wonderful" handwriting. But reflecting is good, and necessary.
So, I guess typing it is better because my hands will be less tired and I still get to do what I need to do. (But that's honestly just an excuse for my laziness. (: )

Also, my blogskin, as you can see, is all very:
1. Black and White.
I need more colour. I love colour. COLOUR. <3
But I can't find pretty ones. So if you see a nice ones which are simple but colourful, please tell me.
2. Lovey Dovey. (Idk if that's even a legit word.)
Not that it's a bad thing, I mean. 1 Corinthians 13:13 is one of my fave verses in the bible, ever.
And I really like the lyrics from the song: "Science and Faith.", because it's pretty.
But no, this will not be a place where I constantly blog/rant about my non-existent love-life. There's too many of that, and also, it's rather depressing.

Now, to actually get to the main topic.
Yes, that was an intro. It will happen very often, extremely long intros, deal with it.

I'm blogging about: New Year Resolutions.

I've never cared about stuff like that, because, honestly, I always give up halfway. BUT THIS YEAR, IT WILL BE DIFFERENT.

My Resolution of 2013 is:

Yes, this is my New Years Resolution. I do intend to do it, because a lot of times, we complain about how sucky our year was, when it's only because we didn't take time to remember the good things that happened. I think the main point of this resolution, is to be more thankful, which is what I'm going to do. Plus, it's also fun, and we all like doing fun things, so, hopefully I will actually finally have a successfully fulfilled resolution.

Ok, that's all. I will now end off with a picture of myself. That's how all famous people end off their blog posts right? haha. But so as not to spoil your eyes, I added someone else in the picture who is definitely much more pleasant to look at. (:

Happy New Year, Peeps. May 2013 be amazing for each and every one of you.
xx.
