Sun and Moon

It's CT week ! Which means my day is filled with nothing but sleep, eat and mostly.. studying. During exam period usually I'll gain some weight because I sort of believe that my brain need glucose to function. Wonder if it is just an excuse.. (though it's scientifically proven). So yeah, because of that.. I've been munching honey star at least 2x daily. I think I eat honey star more than I eat rice. I'll get diabetes really soon... =__=

Well.. Actually CT week isn't so bad.. I only have 2 papers left. One on Thursday and one on Friday. They should be pretty manageable if I don't do any careless mistake like how I did in Monday's paper. Out of ten papers, usually only one time I will come out feeling totally good about myself. Yes, I do set a real high expectation of myself. It is good and bad at the same time. On one side, expectation motivates me to work harder. But on the other side, it gives me stress and pressure.. and worst.. disappointment, when I could not meet the standard despite the amount of efforts I've put in.

Enough rambling about CT and all the stressful thing..

Moving on.. I have been pretty obsessed with this song titled 'Sun and Moon'. It is actually a song from a broadway musical Miss Saigon. Originally sung by Simon Bowman and Lea Salonga. The play is basically about a doomed love story between American GI and a Vietnamese bar girl. It kinda reminds me of the Memoirs of a Geisha, but based on the synopsis in Wikipedia, it resembles Madame Butterfly more. If I'm not wrong Madame Butterfly was played in the cinema a couple of months ago. Interesting fact ; Miss Saigon is the 11th longest-running broadway. It was started in 1991 and closed in 2001. 

If you guys realised, Lea Salonga does not sound like a Caucasian or Eurasian name.. it is because she is actually a Filipino. She is a super duper talented woman who played in another broadway musical Les Miserables and the voice behind Disney Princess Mulan and Jasmine. She is pretty old now, but her voice still sounds like how it was 20 years ago. Curious ? click on the play button !

This was taken in 1989 when she was only 17 I guess

And this one is when she's 19 

She really grew up in broadway ><

I shall end my post here.. It's 2:22 am and I shall wake up early tomorrow to study and complete some stuffs. One random photo 

For those who are having CT like me, press on for a couple of more days okay :)

Good night lovelies <3

Alignment

It's so funny to find out that apparently someone in my family has the same 'disease' as me. A perfectionist who can't stand when things are not aligned together properly. That's why we spend our nights and early morning doing presentation.. spending hours aligning every single flowchart. Sounds sick actually, but well when one takes so much pride in her work, she will put that much effort to make everything looks perfectly flawless.

Oh well , now that I come to think of it, I have not been updating my blog for quite sometime.. I am drowned in school work and projects and the upcoming common test. It is not easy to juggle four things together.. studies, social life, dance, family.. and probably five if I include sleep inside. Well, most of the time I sacrifice sleep and social life. It is really not easy, year 2 is no joke. Having to so say that, everything has been working pretty well. I didn't do extremely great in some quiz, but I guess I have to learn to appreciate my own hard work.

Emotion wise, it's been like a roller coaster ride. Yesterday was a really great day.. spent the whole afternoon with the Ambassador family. It was FUN and the babies are adorable :)  hehe.. It was a pity that I could not join them for lunch because of a family event at home. Yeah, I had an Indon Food Fest yesterday. The food was great, the dessert was even better. This Ben&Jerry's ice cream flavour 'everything but...' really suprised me with all the goodness of chocolates inside.. then I had a mango and passion fruit Haagen Daz which is unfortunately below my expectation. Haagen Daz Strawberry Sorbet tastes much better. Still have a bag of profiteroles in the fridge.. been munching them since this morning. I'll turn into a fat pig pretty soon.. MUST RESIST. I just hope my cousin would come to the house and take it away.. which he clearly wouldn't do because he would not be able to control himself if he is to have it in his fridge. Okay, I realise that when it comes to food I can talk on and on and on..

I know it's not a long post.. I don't get to spend much time on blog or tumblr anymore.. but I try to update my blog at least once a week, so I won't forget about it like how it used to be for the past 2 years.. :3

Have a beautiful evening lovelies <3
I really look forward to the end of CT and till then wish me good luck !

The Hungry Man

Suddenly remember the analogy that I heard from someone before.

It was something like..

'....It's like the hungry man eating a bowl of noodle. At the start, he was very hungry.. so he enjoyed eating his noodle so much. But as he continued, he began to feel full.. so he slowed down. Finally, he stopped eating his noodle, leaving the leftover behind...'

I forget the precise saying.. but it's something along that line. 

I guess some people just leave a bigger footprint in your life. 

But no matter what, the past is still the past. 

It doesn't belong in your present nor your future.

Sometimes it sucks to be the leftover noodle...

But we have to learn to forgive,

so that we can forget

and move on with our life

you're moving backwards. I am not.

Busy Week :{

Again, this week has been really  hectic for me. Looking back, I had 2 reports to hand in and some tutorials to be done. Okay, maybe it doesn't sound a lot.. but making a report isn't an easy thing to do. Lots and lots of thinking and research required. Spent most days staying up till late at night to complete all these assignments. I am really really sleep deprived.

Despite the stress that I got from lecturers, I kinda enjoyed my days at school for the past week. My twinnie, Mr D and the Bouncers are people who made my day everyday. They kept me away from negative thoughts.. from thinking too much about other things. I did have some mood swings plus a couple of 'flared up' situations though.. Got pretty mad during practicals and scolded someone in his face. I guess that's one bad thing about me, when I'm tired and stressed, I tend to be too straight forward in my words and it could get really annoying. I do feel bad and usually I'll apologise to that person straight away. No one like to be treated that way, right?

So well.. I am spending another Sunday morning at home. Reading my Advance Math lecture notes. A quiz is coming up next Tuesday. Followed by another quiz on Wednesday and Friday. In total I'll be having 4 quiz next week and a project to be completed. I'm sure I would have been zombified by next Sunday. Apparently, being a second year student isn't easy at all yo. Just gotta pressed on and work a little harder for this semester. I have lots of things on my plate, but slowly I'll eat them up one by one. KR mentioned I'll look much older if I don't have enough sleep though.. but it's okay.. so long as I get good grades :)

OMG.. I really NEED to watch the avengers again.. :(

A sneak peak of what I did last week :)

Have a great Sunday lovelies ♥
