Day 30: Anything you want to post about.

Okay, I'm totally cheating because as I'm posting this, it's already the 2nd of December. But cut me some slack, I still have exams on-going :( And in fact, quite a number of my other posts after the 20th of November weren't exactly published on the dates stated, LOL. But you'll probably only have noticed this if you check this space regularly.

Bah, can't wait for Finals to be over. I want to go back to the time during summer, where I'm just spending everyday doing random things that make me happy, without having to stress over deadlines or assignments or examinations; even if its just for a little while.

Anyway, I'm really sleepy now, but I'm going to get this post over and done with because my OCD compels me to do so. I thought I'd post about what I've gained from this 30 Day Blog Challenge. Firstly, it's been reaffirmed that when I'm blogging for the sake of blogging, it really becomes a pain in the ass and it kind of makes me loathe blogging just for a short while. I think I've mentioned in my very first entry that I want this space to be an avenue for me to share whatever I want, without any obligations whatsoever. Guess this sort of challenged that entry in some ways.

Another thing I've come to realise (because this challenge has made me make more of a conscious effort to be more self-aware) is that I still have a lot to learn when it comes to being a better person. Like, I know I was a horrid person during my teenage years and it took me a while to accept that and do my best to change. Over the years, I thought I managed to fine tune some of the things that are just too hard to alter and more or less get rid of all the other negative traits as best as I could. Turns out there are still loads of room for improvement. I'm still working on myself as a person and I recognise that saying nobody's perfect sounds like a lame excuse, but yeah that's the line I'm sticking to, ha-ha. I'm glad this experience has taught me something valuable at least.

Besides that, some of the entries were quite fun. One thing's for sure, it definitely provided me with enough material to fill up this space quite substantially. There was a period of time where I hardly updated and I swear, cyber cobwebs were threatening to take over, ha-ha. For anyone out there with nothing much to do for the upcoming month(s), I'd recommend giving this challenge a try. If you don't have any heavy commitments (like EXAMS), it'll be a fun activity to do :)

Day 25: Would you rather date someone plain with a nice personality or vice versa?

I mean, idealistically speaking, we would all love to date someone who is interesting AND has a nice personality. Unless you're one of those people who likes things to be predictable and stable, then I guess you would prefer someone who is plain with a nice personality. No one really goes for the bad boy/girl right? I mean, maybe to fool around with but not date seriously or settle down with? Or am I wrong? I don't know, personal opinion I suppose.

If I really REALLY had to pick one trait over the other, I would choose... Gosh, this is a tough choice to make. I'd pick the interesting but bitchy person. I've dated plain and nice before, I mean my ex was exactly that. And that was the reason why we broke up, I got bored =\ Not the best excuse I know, but I remember asking myself - are you in this because you just want to be in a relationship or do you really like the person? Yeah, for me I need someone that makes life interesting for me. Not like create unnecessary drama, I've got enough of that without trying. But interesting like, keeping things fresh? I mean, Singapore is boring enough, and I'm equally as boring. So I need someone who has ideas and a point of view to balance things out. Plus, I'm pretty bitchy myself so if I'm dating someone who's TOO nice and opposes all my bitchy comments/observation, we might have a problem, LOL.

Day 23: A letter to someone, anyone.

Dear you,

This is purely based on circumstances, because I'm heavily buried in notes right now, feeling miserable and studying as hard as I can, but don't be pressured by mum and dad into following an academic course that isn't suited for you. Don't be afraid to skew off the path that you think every one else is taking. It isn't the end of the world if you don't end up in a junior college nor is it the end of the world if you don't end up in a university. If I could turn back time, major life choices that I would change include, not going to the Victoria Integrated Program. Their way of teaching mathematics there has screwed you up gloriously. Also, make sure you are not overly complacent when taking you A' levels. Do well for your GP and go to NTU to do mass communications instead of SMU Business Management. Oh right, when you lose that bunch of weight in Secondary 2, DO NOT PUT IT BACK ON. And, when you return from you leadership camp in J1, do not go for volleyball training camp. I'm not sure how this will alter your life (possibly quite drastically) but maybe, you won't find yourself in the position I'm in right now. Exams suck, period. But it'll probably help if you're cramming for something that you're strong in/interested in. Most importantly, discover early on how mum is actually a huge, negative role model that you'll subconsciously be following after and do your best to change before it's too late.

Day 22: A picture of what you wore today.


I've been rotting at home the whole day, struggling and forcing myself to study instead of procrastinating :( I'm too lazy to take a proper photo of whatever I'm wearing at home. It's basically my UBC Dentistry Collegiate Tee and my Air Force FBTs - nothing fancy. So here's a big ass photo of my face instead. I feel like growing my hair out so that I can sleek it back (like in the photo). But we all know how my last attempt turned out. May do a big perm to help the back comb look this time round, we shall see. I'll figure all this out once I'm done with finals.

Day 21: Turn on's and off's.

Turn On's
01) Collarbones and the area in general.
02) That tapered part at the back of a person's ankles.
03) Lean and toned legs.
04) A take-charge-of-the-situation attitude.

Turn Off's
01) Body odour or any odour actually.
02) Bad teeth and dirty nails (personal hygiene is important to me).
03) Unsightly body hair that's unkempt.
04) Overtly sensitive people (immediate deal breaker).

Day 20: Concerts you have attended.


I've actually only attended one concert in my whole life (if you exclude all the school band concerts etc.) and it was when Jason Mraz came to perform at the Singapore Indoor Stadium back in 2011.

I didn't actually plan on going, because personally, I've always found concert tickets ridiculously expensive. Plus, I'm not THAT crazy over any artiste to want to go their concerts that badly. I rather put the money towards paying for a plane ticket or hotel or something, ha-ha. However, back then, one of my JC classmate's boyfriend wanted to bring her to the concert. Unfortunately, he didn't foresee the fact that there's a chance he might have enlisted by then. And wouldn't you know it, he couldn't make it for the concert and settled on selling it to me at a hugely discounted rate.

Mind you, it still wasn't cheap, especially given the fact that I had quite a miserable allowance back then. But, the concert was around the time I was turning 21 so I decided to treat myself. No regrets - really amazing to see Jason Mraz perform live and I've always been a huge fan. Would I do it again? Pay hundred over dollars to watch someone perform live? Probably not, unless I'm on vacation with a bunch of friends and everyone wants to go. Yup, I lead a pretty unexciting life, ha-ha. Okay, back to mugging procrastinating.

Day 19: A list of all the places you've lived at.

Okay, it specifically says lived at, so I'm assuming anywhere that I've been to for holiday doesn't count? I mean cause vacationing is seen more as visiting rather than residing at. If that's the case, the list is going to be super short.


Besides the obvious answer, Singapore, where I was born and raised, I've also stayed for a month in Vancouver, British Columbia. I was there earlier in June 2013 for a summer exchange program and stayed in one of their student hostels whilst clearing 2 modules in Sauder's School of Business :) The lifestyle there is definitely very different from that of Singapore's (might have mentioned this in my entry about my summer exchange). It's not a pace of life I'm used to, but something that I'll hopefully be able to enjoy one day when I retire or something. I know the photo isn't much (taken whilst cycling around Stanley Park), but the place is really very beautiful. Do visit it one day if you get the chance.

Day 17: What do you want to be when you're older?


Hmm, I don't know how to answer this question. If you were to ask me this when I was young, I would have said "A teacher", because that was one of the few professions that I was exposed to and I didn't know any better. After having taught a couple of kids tuition, it has become VERY apparent that I'm not cut out to be a teacher.

I consider myself to be quite old actually, so when I think of when I'm even older, I think of a time when I've graduated and have started working for a couple of years. I guess what I want to be is someone who has a stable job, a job that I enjoy and that pays well. I want to be someone who is able to go home every day to a loving family. I want to be someone who is still in contact with my closest friends, the people who mean everything to me. I want to hopefully be someone who has found love. I guess to sum in up, I want to be someone who is happy and contented with life - that's what I want to be when I'm older :)

Day 16: If the world were to end tomorrow, what would you do with your remaining time on Earth?

Well, there are certain questions to ask before I am able to answer this. First, am I suppose to answer from a point of view whereby I don't suddenly have tons of money or access to do anything I wouldn't normally be able to, from anywhere in the world? Or am I limited to do things from where I'm currently located, with whatever resources I've got? I guess perhaps my answer will come in two parts - Reality and Fantasy.


Fantasy

There a few items on my bucket list and if the world were to end tomorrow, I'll definitely try to cover as many of them as possible. In addition to visiting the places that I listed in a previous entry, I would also love to bungee jump and ride in a hot air balloon (preferably whilst watching the sun rise). Once I've done that, I'll want to have a couple of hours of amazing sex with anyone who is mind-blowingly hot, preferably some porn star. THEN, I'll want to sky dive one last time and land in an amazing spot (with a view) where I'll have dinner consisting of all the finest delicacies in the world, sipping the most exquisite flute of champagne whilst I watch the world come to an end.


Reality

Since I'll be in Singapore, I'll probably spend the last day with my family. We'll have an amazing brunch with the works - this includes creamy scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, plump sausages, oven roasted vine tomatoes, hash browns, sautéed mushrooms, brioche and a nice cold glass of hazelnut latte. You can see where I'm going with this. It's my last day before the world ends so I'll fucking eat everything I want. After stuffing myself silly in the morning, I'll go for a wax and eyebrow threading, followed by a hair cut and dye job. I mean, I want to die looking my best right? Once that's done, I'll meet my family for dinner, which will consist of the most amazing Japanese food fare Singapore has to offer. Before heading home, I'll grab a bottle of champagne. I'll dress up in something comfortable but fashionable once home, crawl into bed all nice and snug, slowly sip my bubbly and wait for the world to end.

Day 15: A photo of someone you fancy at the moment.

Ha-ha, to be honest, there really isn't anyone. Plenty of eye candies, yes, but no one that I fancy at the moment. In fact, no one I've fancied for a really long time. Infatuations every once in a while, but that's about it. Hopefully it'll change one day? I think it has something to do with me frankly. Probably need to do a bit more self reflection to find out why.

Day 13: 3 confessions of your choice.


01) 99% of the photos of me you see on my Blog/Tumblr/Facebook/Twitter/Instagram are photoshop-ed/edited.
02) Sometimes, the reason why I'm so sleepy in school is not because I was up doing work, but watching videos instead.
03) I'm a cheap slut, well, most of the time. Nuff' said.

Day 12: Screenshot your desktop.


I've uploaded the photos I'm using as my wallpaper instead of taking a screenshot of my desktop since there really isn't anything on there except the header on top of the screen. I'm using a MacBook Pro, so my dashboard is hidden unless I hover my cursor over the bottom of my screen. It also means I have multiple screens to work with, hence the two photos. Both are taken in Vancouver, Canada. The first was when we were on a day tour of Victoria Island and the second is a sunset view from the hostel room I was living in for a month :) I'm kind of missing the place right now.

Day 11: What is your favourite quote?


"When in doubt, freak em' out. And if anyone ever boos you off stage, that is simply applause from ghosts."


"Water off a duck's back. Water off a duck's back. Water off a duck's back."
