Only Love? What the hell is that?

I really wonder what is in the brains of the new generation. Or perhaps I am simply too conventional. The notion of true love or only love seems to be non existent anymore.

A girl can have a good and steady boyfriend for two years, but spends her time crushing on some other random guy and confessing to him. She doesn’t want to give up the boyfriend, and yet the crush is waiting aimlessly for her. Then why crush him and still confess since she is not going to break up on the boyfriend?

Note: Not only guys do this now, even females are doing it too.

Look how the world is changing, into something which I cannot accept and understand at all.

I am totally so broke to afford a DSLR, so I shall keep that in mind when I find a job. BUT I have found an alternative photography / camera which I have been reading on these few weeks.

LOMOGRAPHY!

Photography no longer needs the correct exposure or what crap. It needs ATTITUDE!
What you see above is the limited version of a PINK Diana F+! Like the Holga, you can advance the Diana+ as much or as little as you like after each shot - making multiple exposures, half-exposed frames, and stretched out crazy-long shots a snap. You can also remove the lens, set the aperture to a super-small pinhole and shoot a super-wide-angle, severely old-school image through a tiny hole and create a concurrent and unlimited panoramic image.

Aiyo, the photos taken are damn cool! And the camera only costs $179! Wanted to take a look on Saturday at Objectifs (Liang Seah Street) with Lishan but couldn’t find the place :( Perhaps I will get that before heading New Zealand, or maybe anybody wants to sponsor that for my *ahem* day!

我毕业了！

终于，4年一转眼就过去了。

记得刚进大学的时候，我跟N说自己觉得这个系不适合我，读得很辛苦。很想放弃，很想转系，可是，我还是这样挨过了。在南大的4年，当然有无数的回忆。我虽然每天都拖着沉重的脚步搭地铁去上课，也没有别人来得活跃，我还是很荣幸地遇上了许多天使。这些人，在这4年痛苦的学习生涯里拉了我一把，也陪我一起度过，让我的生活没有那么乏味。

To: Ruojing
谢谢你在大学的起跑线陪我一起挨过，尽管疯疯癫癫的我总是做出超级丢脸的行为。也不会忘记大家一起没日没夜打Maple的日子，做广播的日子、拍戏的日子，看《恶魔》看到我在哭的时候等，难忘。

To Pebbles
把蛋糕丢在你的脸上、一起没日没夜打Maple的日子、和Barcode 一起的outing、到Geylang吃点心等，深刻的回忆，谢谢！

To: Adeline
友谊的启蒙从Desktop Publishing开始，在internship时变得更坚固。成为朋友不容易，成为知己更难。谢谢你成为我的听众，不管是在哪一方面都帮我一把。很期待将和你到New Zealand的日子。

To: Yong Tian
在YT面前，我变成了一个满口福建/脏话的obasan。跟你做project都很开心，也谢谢你每次送我回家。我会继续帮你买月饼的！

To: Yan Xuan
彼此都抱着跳舞的理想，每逢星期一风雨不该去练舞。虽然功课很多，我们还是愿意跳到晚上11点。也谢谢你对我的信任，愿意让我为你分担所有烦恼。

To: Alicia Ang
Don't think she will see this, but anyway it has been fun attending Drama lessons with you, singing for your FYP, laughing and messing around :)

To: Alicia Lim
不会忘记每次都在课堂打瞌睡的你，弄得我每次上课都很累，要注意你，要注意柯老师，早点睡啊！And we still have a dinner date :)

To: Alvina & Mary
FUCK You! BITCH! We are the vulgar team! :p

To: my fellow FYP groupmates (SJ and SW)
It has been fun working with you guys for a year. I must say, it wasn't easy to do a documentary in a 3 girls team. But we sailed through :) Good Luck!

And of course, there's alot more, not forgetting: Muffin, Chun Yan, Shannon, Laura, Sara and all CAC people.

谢谢你们，因为你们，我的人生变得很精彩。

当然，也很感激阿姨、N、Chris、Fungie、Lishan无时无刻都在我身旁，听我发牢骚，忍受我的脾气，送我贴心的鼓励卡片、深夜陪我讲电话、配合我的补习时间等等。*hugs*　　

接下来，我将步入人生新的旅程碑。虽然带着一点点恐惧和许多的未知数，我还是满怀期待迎接未来。

这才是人生的起点，也是友谊的开始。。。

If There're Seasons...

After two tiring tuitions, met Lishan and went for a walk in Bugis. Gosh, I haven't gone to the shopping streets for damn long. But Im a good girl today, didn't buy anything.

Headed to Haji Lane and explored all the vintage shops. Love the place!

I think this dress is toooo long for me!

Superwoman!

Dinner at Gao Ji La Mian. We went in sit down, started to browse menu. Then realise they only have VISA, no NETS. So, went out find a ATM machine withdrew money, before going in again. This Tofu dish was supposed to be one of their highlights. But it wasn't great. Salty somemore!

Tai Tai Chan showing off her bling bling!

Very sad I got no bling bling to show! LOL

The highlight for today is, IF THERE'RE SEASONS. A Mandarin musical by Practice Theatre Performing Arts, starring George Chan, Joanna Dong, Jeffrey Low and Sing Chew. Composer Liang Wern Fook.

If it was shown much earlier, I would have just use this to write a Drama thesis. Who says Singapore Mandarin Musical doesn't exist at all? This search for 'singapore identity' in local drama has always been a ongoing debate. is there a singapore voice in the theatre scene? in this highly globalised society, does the creation fo local mandarin musical hold any significance?

And tonight, I witness the elements of local musical. Xin Yao, which are symbolic to local Singapore culture had greatly inspired the creation of the musical. u can hear close to forty songs composed by our local talent, Liang Wern Fook Lao Shi.

“天冷了，就回来。。。”
New Zealand 现在应该有点冷吧。
糟糕，还没有离开，就有点舍不得了。
忽然觉得1个月很长。。。。

Post Exams Celebration @ Dempsey Hill

And so exams finally ended.

I didn't sleep the day before my last paper. There were too many incomplete readings and I kinda stressed out. Yong Tian, Yan Xuan and me decided to each write a summary notes for a few topics so that we can exchange. And so I relied fully on their notes. I totally don't understand Yan Xuan's notes! :(

Anyway, it was the last exam and I was already in my holiday mood way before that. Finally everything is done. And the four of us took a cab down to Dempsey Hill and enjoy our Post Exam Tai-Tai Celebration at Dempsey! :D

Introduced the girls to Magarita's. I have wanting to try it for the longest time and finally I get the chance! However, lighting was bad, plus my lousy camera, food wasn't well taken :(

Cheers to the end of school! say YAY!

LOL.sg members, missing Mary!

And of course, we cam-whore everywhere!

We played with stylo shots!

THIS IS DAMN CHIO! I HOPE MY PRINCE CHARMING DRIVES THIS! LOL!

FYP Oral Presentation II

Basically, I took photos with these people only as I was busy preparing for the Oral Presenation and I had a Drama report to hand in the day after, so wasn't in the mood for other stuffs.

My FYP groupmates.

Adeline and Me. And we are going to spend the whole month of May together Moo-Moo-ing in New Zealand :)

Alicia and Me. Although it seems like we have never crossed each other's paths before, 我们其实蛮谈得来的。And now that I have finished school, we have yet to meet each other for dinner as promised :(

Yup, that's all for now. 毕业感言 needs some time to write. To think that I can fall asleep while showering means that I really need rest. But before I end off, how can I not promote the public screening of our FYP Projects that is coming soon! Interested to watch? Let me know! There's free food! :D

For the third year running, the graduating class of the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information at NTU is proud to present Filament 09, A Site for Home - an annual showcase of final year audio and visual projects.

Filament 09, A Site for Home is a collective of documentaries and video dramas that explores the themes of nation and home, touching on issues such as the fight for space in Singapore and the conflict between family and religion. For two nights, viewers will discover for themselves a different side of Singapore as they take a closer look at the neighbourhood pasar malam and find out more about the local comedy scene.

The screening will be held at the Singapore Art Museum on 27 and 28 of April, 7:30 pm. 5 to 6 works will be showcased each night. Admission is free.

This year’s event will feature 11 video projects (10 from the division of Electronic and Broadcasting Media, and one from the division of Journalism) and 1 audio project.

LAST ONE!

This will be the last night that I bury myself in piles of notes.
This will be the last night that I sleep at 3AM and wake up at 8AM.
This will be the last night that I depend heavily on coffee to stay awake.

This will be the last night :)

FYP Oral Presentation

More to come after Thursday.
Thanks Yew Li for the photos! :)

Today

NTU has this Executive Cafe that sells pretty yummy Dim Sum. The four 'muggers' decided to have our lunch there today. I took all these photos using my SE-G900, and surprisingly it looks not bad :)

Grand?

I can never find any nice and romantic scene like this in NTU except here. Especially during sunset when the rays shine through, it's a pretty sight :)

We eat like we are celebrating the end of school! (When exam starts tomorrow...)

I like this photo. Mango Prawn Fritters.

Fu Pi Xia Juan.

Xiao Long Bao.

Pork Ribs.

Total Damage: 55 dollars altogether. Of course we had other dishes like duck porridge and egg congee. and a huge bowl of hot herbal chicken soup, with four cups of hot crysanthemum tea.

Why everything is hot?

Yes, because my nose ran away AGAIN. And I passed the flu to the three of them.
Record so far: 3 packets of tissue per hour. And I even ask Yong Tian to get me a big pack.

The late nights are causing my body to go haywire. I slept at 5am, woke up at 8am on Sunday. Just because of this:

My 195-pages of Directing Journal! ROCKS!



And I have a superbly 'GOOD' Ah-Teong neighbour who only wash her clothes after many weeks. And when she doesn't have enough space to dry her clothes, she will AUTOMATICALLY use mine space without asking.

Note: We have never ever greeted each other before and I have never seen her face-to-face before. Whoo.

Alright, time to get a cup of coffee.
SNEEZE SNEEZE SNEEZE

-Stressed-

When I get too bored in hall...
I have Eeyore to play with me!

ALL THE BEST FOR ALL YOUR EXAMS!
加油！
