I take it back...

Someone up there, Does love me...

///

Totally unsuspected, I picked up my water bottle for a sip and it knocked against the bulb of my lamp, dislodging and sending it across my key board and finally settling beside it on my bed (yup, the bed has become the all-in-one one stop shop... Place of rest and recovery as well as place of work. The work sheets strewn across the bedding around me as I type this is iconic of an essay laden uni student.)

(Everything happened all at once, so don't take it to be a one after another sequence)

The laptop screen started going ballistic and static! The screen went all 'no reception'-like!

My eyes were transfixed on the screen and all the while, my brain was screaming,

'OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT! PLS DON'T BE DEAD!'

As I forced-quite and then restarted the computer, I put in a call to my personal IT man on my tiny dot of a home.

0800(toll free digits here in the UK)-TANG-PLS-HELP-ME!

Not even sure he'd ever witnessed something so ridiculous, I wasn't sure what help he would provide other than just being a reassuring IT voice. haha.

Thankfully all is well, as I am typing this from my Darling x60 still.

Thank you peeps up there!

I don't know if it's my body... But I feel I need to open the window... Of whose option is not available...

By golly it's stuffy...

Question begs... Am I working on my essays? No.

Is it too much to ask that work placements / internships / volunteer / SLAVE work from ANY of the following : Monocle, Wallpaper, Brit Museum / Tate Modern / V&A , Design / Fashion and Textile Museum, fall out of the clouds in the sky on to my lap?

surely someone up there can see me trying!

We do love our food.

Singaporeans in London.

In a Singaporean restaurant.

We came, we ate, we complained, we discussed our next meal ( -In June: Geylang food marathon ).

Typical.

The hunt is ON!

I tend to go through intense job / internship / work placement search-moments. Such as presently.

I am only passing through (the blog) because I was looking to see if Monocle had any internship positions available, and thought to put Monocle.com as a link on the side of this page. HAH!

The search continues. Au revoir!

i ♥ school

Now, I'm aware that I go through ups and downs with regards to my emotional equilibrium. But right now, just let me ride this wave of High Emo-ness!

School has taken on a far more enriching sense recently. The grey clouds have finally parted to reveal a very exciting and rewarding experience.

I always knew it would be, but between the anxiety of, Everything I'm conscious about and Everything I'm not, I've not really allowed myself to be aware of the full potential of this course.

With every new thing that I read, instead of feeling an unbearable sense of overwhelming, which was the case over the first few weeks into the course, I feel this brimming excitement toward nourishing the mind! I can literally feel my brain expanding, and it's a Great feeling!

Wet weather + Early sun sets = S A D (Literally. Seasonal Affective Disorder http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasonal_affective_disorder check it out) haha

And running along that grain, photography today -where we were to go OUT and take shots of a chosen building's exterior and interior, was a... get ready for this brilliant one, WASH OUT! haha.. get it? heh

The scenario went like this:

10-1030: Briefing

1030 - 1032: Exit onto Charing Cross Road, turn left, walking 100 meters

1032 - 1130~: Starbucks

Haha!

Made for another good bonding session with a different set of classmates.

But it will always remain, that the Asians unite! (in scary dracula tone: MUAHAHAHAHA!)

the BFFITWWW (Best friend in the whole wide world) is right. (:

If I stay awake till after 12, I'll be able to catch the loved ones on the other side of the globe as they start their day!

Here's to two nights in a row of conversations with people starting their days in Singapore and Australia! (:

Good early-evening!

It started out as a Tuesday blues type of day.

Okay for the benefit of everyone, I have to let you'll know that I don't have school on Mondays and Fridays. haha! But as I was discussing with my classmate Simon, it's deceiving. Despite the week being extremely short (and each of those days being pretty short) whichever day the week starts on, will be the one the Blues connects itself to. heh.

So anyway... Naomi and I were both saying that we just didn't feel ourselves. Not that we really know each other well enough to confirm that, but I got where she was coming from.

I felt unsettled, unnerved and overall, just, stoned!

But as the day unraveled, and we started to 'warm up', it ended on a higher (much) note than it started.

The presentation workshop (where she got us to go down on all fours to learn the skill to train one to laugh like we mean it) helped tons.

Naomi is such an easy person to get along with.

She's older than the rest of us, so there's none of that blowing hot and cold to reckon with.

I think in a way, talking to her, I'm reminded of talks I have with Kat and Chris (the elder sisters).

Yet, I don't look at my older sisters as sisters. More confidants, or good friends...

Anyway,

Ethnography seems to be one of our favourite topics; many a conversations centered around it.

I have my first essay (Victorian London: Art, Design and Architecture) to thank for this keenness towards ethnography. What with my topic focusing on the British Imperialistic view and all.

Photography tomorrow morning!

My days are looking up Up and AWAY!

(:

Nice to suddenly realise that some who read my old blog now read my new one.

Here's to you Jonathan!

*raises glass*

Uncle for two more times since!
