the random adventures of jojo

….I was difficult to reach, but you picked me.

Whirlwind weekend, with my body left feeling spent, my mind numb from trying to comprehend why I’ve been so unhappy lately, and why I’m so miserable back here.

Decisions need to be made, and when they’re as huge as this, I’m at a loss, completely unsure of which way to head for the consequences of each choice affects the next few years of not just my life but the ones of those around me.

I think I’ve forgotten how to let go, and let God. Where are you?

Tomorrow’s the start of another week – who knows what it’ll bring? I need to find joy in little things, and faith in people. Disappointment’s difficult to get over, and being idealistic isn’t helping. Is it wrong that I would like the world to be happy and rosy? Why do people need to smash that hope over and over?

In other news, I edited some old photos for school, as part of an experimentation with different looks for a project.

To be quite honest, they were edited to interpret a certain movie director’s signature style, but I’m not sure they’re up to mark so I’m leaving his name out. Pity to insult his pretty works with these. Snigger. Wonder if anyone would be able to hazard a guess though?

Y’know, aside from feeling guilty that I haven’t been taking / posting photos for Project 52, I also really really really miss it.

I keep telling myself that being busy really isn’t that big an excuse, but ohmygawd, I can hardly breathe from the amount of work that is heaped upon me right now. Falling sick for a month kinda had a big part to play in this as well.

Anyway, as I was reading all the blogs that I bookmarked today, I saw this on Carrie’s blog:

*faints* So sweet! I nearly died reading that short paragraph, haha. Especially when I adore some of the other people she listed down too! Hehe.

It’s little things like these that make me want to go out and shoot more. It reminds me of what I love, encourages me to keep going and pushes me to keep finding ways to improve. So cheesy, I know. HAHAHA.

It’s 2am and I’m feeling dizzy and tired.. Odd. I usually have no issues staying up til 5 in the morning! Haha.

Another long day of work awaits me tomorrow, so I suppose I should head off to bed once I am done dumping photos that I need to print out for school tomorrow in my thumbdrive.

There’s a packet of hokkien mee waiting for me in the kitchen. Don’t know who’s on a diet. TSK!

Some time last week (I think) Zhan and I ended up at Chin Swee to take photos. It was an awesome day of shooting – the light was nice, the place was lovely and there was just a whole lot of things just crying out to be photographed. Awesome.

Not so awesome part was discovering that Zhan’s CF card got corrupted and he lost all but three of his photos that day. Horrid, horrid thing to happen.

And so, these are photos from our first trip there.

We went back there today with Alex to take more photos. Those photos will be up another day, I suppose. I much prefer my photos from the first time I was there though. Probably for a myriad of reasons.

I thank God that I had the time and company during my holidays to go on numerous photo walks. They make me quite happy. School’s started and I can already feel time slipping away more quickly than I’d like it to. This is possibly because I am getting reacquainted with the idea of homework. Yechh.

Plus, Zhan is leaving to go back to Adelaide in a little over a month. Pooey.. There goes one person I love having conversations with going away. *sad smiley face* AHAHAHAHAHAHA. (inside joke; please ignore!)

Ey. But I’m really quite sad. Ack.

I digress.

Here’s my take on Chin Swee, a place I think is really lovely and full of sights to just take in and observe. Today’s visit back was more in depth emotionally, for lack of a better word. But I’ll leave that for another day – too much unease and sadness for one day.

rustiest pair of tongs ever

one of my favourite shots from that day.
i like how the texture of the metal gates turned out in the photo

awesome old hair salon

there were more books than place to walk in the tiny store.
love the smell of books, hate the fear of silver fish crawling out!

heh heh

so sad, this place…..

It’s such a sad, melancholy night… Or day, if you will.

The homecooked meal that my wonderful twinnie the infamous Jiao Bin prepared for us Melaka zoo animals tonight was nothing short of awesome. Thanks, Twinnie. It was my bright spark of the day when you first told me of this dinner you had planned, and once again, it’s the bright spark of my day today. Love you!! Hehe.

& thanks, your holiness (bear bear if you will) for everything, really.

Can I just say that I am really insanely excited about this project?! Hahaha!

And it makes me even more excited when people tell me they’re looking forward to seeing the photos each week. Hehe thank you, lovelies. I are loves yous. Heh.

So after sorting out my photos and trying to pick one that I would like to start off this project with, I made my choice…

drawing blood from stone…

One of my favourite shots from this week. I picked this because over another photo I like as well, because although at first glance the other photo was more visually pleasing, I felt this one commanded more attention – from the subject to the photo in its entirety.

Like Zhan had mentioned to me, I also like that this shot has enigma and mystery to it.

What do you think?

After heading to the other end of the country (i/e Bukit Batok – might as well be an island off Singapore) to pass Pinkie’s mum some stuff, Alex and I headed off for lunch and a walkabout around Chinatown and its surrounding areas to take pictures.

Once again, Zhan’s theory about me + photography + cloudy days proved true. HAHAHA.. it started to rain just before we left Pinkie’s place. Oops.

I haven’t been to the Club Street area in awhile.. missed the place. Finally checked out Books Actually, and I absolutely adore the place. Will head back another day to properly explore it. Also discovered a new bookstore a few doors down that just opened 3 months ago. They’ve a wonderful selection of cute books in lovely editions. And a gorgeous notebook which I want want want. Nao!

Here you go…

stupid drain.. i nearly fell in, stubbed my toe and scraped my elbow. bleh!

he was so cute! looked away and then looked right back at me.

Sorry for the lack of captions.. running off for dinner! Hehe.

I think I’ll be headed down to Chinatown again for another walkabout. Wheee….

Melaka awaits in 2 days!!!!!!! Very excited and happy to be going back there! Hopefully will have a bunch of nice shots from the trip too.

Zhan and I headed out to randomly take photos yesterday, and it turned out to be an awesome day out despite starting out about 3 hours later than we’d plan. Insomniacs unite. Hahaha.

Really, how does he make a D70s look like a PNS camera?
It looks tiny!! HAHAHA!

We headed to Sunshine Plaza where I had to get things printed first, and had a cheap dim sum lunch at Victor’s Dim Sum. It’s alright for a quick dim sum fix. I quite like their teochew dumplings! My favourite one thus far is from Imperial Treasure, where they have awesome mushroom dumplings too. I miss Noble House, though. No $$$ to go! Pshh.

his name is Cow.

nice bear paws! i likey.

We’d planned to head down to Tiong Bahru to just walk about and shoot. I miss that neighbourhood! My previous office was there, right next to the market. I used to love the walks I took on my own when I cut across the neighbourhood of old flats to the post office.

By the time we got there, we had about half an hour to 45 minutes of light to shoot with. Sun was setting! Makes for lovely light, albeit a super short while.

Still not totally used to my camera and lens, but I love it! Having fun exploring what it can do. Heh. I love the DOF on f1.4! And the nice creamy bokeh. *swoons*

Love how there are so many cats in the area. Heh. I don’t like cats as much as I love dogs, but the ones in Tiong Bahru are awesome! There was one which looked like Hitler, with a black patch above his lip but he refused to let me take a photo. Haha.

Guess what that shadow on the left is.

he was sweet.

And then this one kept trying to attack something.. I had to go pretty close cos of the prime lens, and was damn scared that some creature would fall on my head please!!

I love fat cats. Anddddd I also love that I can shoot in super low light!

focus is off for this one, but i like how the shot turned out!
murderous back alley shot. hur hur.

After fussing (read: squealing) over the cats for awhile, it got too dark to shoot so we headed to the market.

he was nice

After getting a drink and attempting to cool down, we headed down to Cityhall because Lennel mentioned that the underpass leading to Esplanade had gummy bears as part of an exhibition.

Was super happy when I got there because I realised that it’s the same exhibit that involved pages of kids storybooks! I’d seen photos of those on Facebook or something, and had wanted to head down but forgot about it.

Much to my delight, I recognised most of the illustrations that came from Enid Blyton books! So awesome. Heh. There were also pages from Roald Dahl books, and a few others I didn’t recognise.

And then the gummy bears of many colours! I want to eat them.

i thought the turquoise ones were so cute!

one of my favourite shots from yesterday. can you make out the box?

& then we go down the rabbit hole!

We took a walk to Esplanade after dinner. Never been a fan of night skyline shots of the city, but I thought I’d try and see what night shots my camera and lens can produce.

Handheld night shot! =P
I am incredibly lazy to bring a tripod out, most of the time. Hahaha.

Yech. Still don’t like night skyline shots.
Sooo…..

… this happened.

Hahaha! More fun, imo. We took a random drive around after that, rather unintentionally – we just happened to get lost. I *love* these!

Randomly turning into roads just because we’ve never seen or heard of their name before, or just because the name sounds cute. Driving around and discovering parts of Singapore we’ve never seen before.. and of course, finding new places to go take photos soon!

Still not completely used to my lens, especially since it’s a prime lens and the DOF is so small.. but I’m happy with it so far! Can’t wait to go out and shoot more more more. Heh.

Haven’t had one of these almost-perfect days in ages. I love adventures!

Finally fell asleep at about 730am this morning. Funny.. It was bright like how it only is at 8am usually. My insomnia is driving me insane. Contemplating taking flu tablets to fall asleep. The wonderful yellow pill. Are there any side effects for taking it if I am not having a cold?

I don’t think my mum or my doctor will be very happy with giving me sleeping pills or muscle relaxants again. Sigh.

When I finally fell asleep, I had dreams about part time jobs, the work I am supposed to complete and mostly of cameras that I want. HAHA. Sigh..

isn’t he cute?? haha!
i drew him – no stealing! *smacks your itchy hands*

In a random act of… I-don’t-even-know-what-to-call-it, I dumped 5 rolls of film that have been sitting around in my room for ages to get developed. It’s always been a horrid habit of mine to let films sit around because I’m usually too broke to get them developed. This usually results in rolls getting lost, thus losing photos I never knew I had forever.

I went to pick up my films today at Triple D. Went there because it’s right next to school actually. The Uncle there is nice enough, so. It was quite exciting going to pick up photos and not knowing what will turn up. Heck, I didn’t even know when they were taken, what was in them, or even what cameras I used to take those shots!

Taken from what seems like my Coloursplash (based on the rest of the photos from this roll.)
These were stuff I was putting together for Pinkie before he left for London, 2 years ago. The weird thing is.. the rest of the photos on this roll was from way back in 2006 or 2007!

It was quite a lovely surprise getting the photos. There were photos from 4 or 5 years back! Including photos from the surprise birthday celebration I had at TP years back. (It’s still my favourite birthday so far..) Those photos were spoilt though, because they were expired film and then I let them sit around for about 4 years.. it’s as if they were shot on ISO398479238472384. HAHA.

Most photos were from my Olympus XA, the first time I’m developing photos taken from it! They’re mostly taken in Thailand, when I was there last year. Or early this year.. I don’t know anymore.

Here are the ones from the XA…

lol, I hopped on the bed and took the photo once we checked in.
that’s my mum who’s being harassed whilst unpacking when we got to the hotel suite that we got upgraded to!

massive mountain of cotton buds!

that’s my aunt! haha.

fake double exposure hahaha!

Aside from the shots from the XA and colour splash, there was a roll of reaaally random photos, which I suppose came from my SLR.

Seeing these really made me miss shooting with film! Who wants to go shoot with me? Sheesh.. I don’t even know when I have time. Meh!

boo.

EDIT:-
PSSST! I’m offering a small prize for the first person who guesses what I used for the CALMNESS photo! So leave a comment with your guesses now! Hehe.
(Limited to readers in Singapore only, sorry! Also, those who already know what it is cannot comment lah! I know who knows okaaay! Open til Friday 250909, 0059hrs sg time! Oh and only answers that are left on this blog post are counted la, stop tweeting or MSNing me your answers! Hahahaha.)

My photography class’ first project has been submitted! Thank God, because you’ve no idea how very stressed out I was over it. Poor Pinkie got the brunt of my stress..

Anyways, since a few of you asked to see my photos, I thought I’d just post them up here. Also, all praise to God for letting the presentation go well beyond anything I expected! Yay!

We were supposed to take 2 sets of five photos each. All photos within each set had to be linked to each other, either conceptually or visually. No light/flash photography was allowed. Also no black and white or sepia. For the Emotions set, no part of the human face was allowed as well.

The emotions set:
- happiness
- sadness
- anger
- calmness
- energetic

The lines&shapes set:
- asymmetry
- balance
- repetition
- scale
- lines and shapes

My lecturer said we didn’t have to make a link between all 10 photos because it’s a lot tougher, so she was letting us off the hook but we could if we wanted to challenge ourselves. I chose to try and link all 10 not because I willingly pick challenges all the time but simply because I love photography and I want to push myself.. During the period when I was trying to get the photos taken, I was wondering if I was mad and retarded for choosing to link all 10 photos. HAHA.

Whilst brainstorming for it, I was stressed out of my mind because I didn’t want to just settle and pick easy things to photograph.. but that’s just me being anal. Haha.

One night, whilst I was surfing Tumblr, I came across a photo of a bowl of Fruit Loops and I got reminded of how happy I get each time I eat or see Fruit Loops! And thus sparked…….. a night of sleeplessness. Hahahaha! I was so excited, rolling around in bed thinking of how I could use food to get all my shots done! After thinking about it through the night, and then discussing it with Pinkie the next day, I decided to just go ahead with it! Hehe.

HAPPINESS.
because froot loops make me happy (only the boxes from faraway lands, not the ones that don’t contain the blue ones!)
and because the colours just naturally shout happy!

ENERGETIC.
i used beer, reenacting scenes when people cheers each other with their drinks.
i specifically chose to use beer because of the connotations it brings, of partying and the like.

ANGER.
the shot that stressed me out cos my initial shots didn’t work out.
finally, thanks to Joe, i decided to take a bowl of Sharks Fin and make it look like it was thrown and smashed on the floor.
anger, because of the smashed and broken bowl, but also because sharks fin has become controversial and personally, i don’t eat sharks fin either because i think it’s very cruel.

CALMNESS.
meant to look visually calm, resembling the sea on a calm day.
can you guess what this is? hehe.

SADNESS.
haha, this is lame! a play on the phrase, ‘don’t cry over spilled milk’. haha!

ASYMMETRY.
the asymmetry here is shown not just in the difference in sizes of the bottles,
but also in what the bottles are: Absolut vodka versus fruit juice!
haha, i tried to pick juices that were as close to the flavours or colours of the Absolut bottles.

SCALE.
my least favourite out of the 10 shots. bleh!
i used a broccoli to demonstrate scale, comparing it with Pinkie sitting on the path in the background,
and the old uncle who happened to walk past at the right time!
i only wish my camera went up bigger f stop numbers. and ya la, i know i didn’t phrase that properly. hahaha.

REPETITION.
uh. a tray of eggs.
not much to say here. HAHAHA!

BALANCE.
i likey the colours of this shot!
and also the lovely smell of the huge lime when i cut it open.

LINES AND SHAPES.
one of my favourite shots.
can you guess what these are, and where they were taken?? haha.

Yup, so those are my 10 shots! The presentation last week went really well, and my lecturer had some good things to say about them so I was just immensely happy. Coupled with news just before my presentation that my brother got himself in OCS, my day was awesome!

My day ended with an outing to the museum with Dawnie and then dinner at her place, so it was a reallyyyy good day.

I really, really couldn’t have completed my photography project on my own. Praise God, for his favour and blessing upon me. And also for showering me with people who were around to help out or encourage.

Much thanks has, of course, got to go to Pinkie, who was very very selfless about helping me out, both with brainstorming and helping out with the shots. I know he doesn’t like doing these things (he studies Econs and Stats leh!!!) so I appreciate it even more. He helped to splash beer about, hold things around, sit around pretending to read a newspaper, carry things around for me and so much more. Oh, and he also put up with my horrid short temper when I am mad stressed and cannot get my shots to work. I ARE LOVEZZZZ YOU! Hahahahahaha.

And also much thanks to Van and Joe who really helped me to brainstorm when I was out of ideas for shots that I had to reshoot because the first try didn’t work out. Thank you so so much, not only because they really did help me but because I know brainstorming takes effort and time out of you!

Despite how everything went on submission/presentation day, I still am not completely pleased with the photos but ohwell. And y’know, when I say I am nervous and I am not sure if my shots will work and that I hate some of my shots, I really did mean it – I wasn’t saying it to bullshit and shoot my own work down just to appear modest. I don’t say things I don’t mean just for the sake of it, yo! Haha.

You don’t know this, but when I was going through one of the worst periods of my life about a month or so back, I realised who the people are in my life with whom I will be able to trust secrets with, whom I have absolutely no fear of them judging me because I know that they will just be nothing short of loving and encouraging even if they don’t understand what is happening.

Unfortunately, I also realised that I absolutely refused to go to any of you out of choice – I realised that if I did go and tell you what was happening, it would all be out of obligation and necessity.

I keep trying but you don’t seem to see that – all you see are the results, of which there are none positive at the moment. You think I don’t feel bad, but I do. More than you’d ever imagine. I keep trying, but there is nothing that serves as a motivation anymore. Not in the people, nor in the structure of things.

Now what?

You can go on and impose your judgment on my life, on what is going wrong, and everything that I am not doing right in your eyes. Go on, I know you will eventually anyway.

Yup, it’s allll in my head, that these things aren’t actually happening, but I just think they are because of how I see the, Yup yup, you’re always right. *insert smiley face*

This is amazing.

I have actually just uploaded slightly over a hundred photos online! Muahaha! If you know me in real life, this is HUGE! Owing to my laziness and constant procrastination, I take forever to get my photos online, if ever. Hehe.

But thanks to Flickr, I uploaded a whole bunch of my photos that have otherwise never seen the online world! I haven’t been using Flickr in years, especially when I got my own domain. Flickr used to be somewhere for me to upload my photos so that I can hotlink them to my blog posts. I’ve been procrastinating for ages because I just knew that I couldn’t get the username that I want in my url: rumpledoodles.

Also, Flickr is owned by Yahoo! which is slightly annoying because I have to tag my account to a Yahoo! account, and all the rumpledoodles ones were already taken up, either by myself or someone else. Yech. I didn’t want to delete my previous account either because the photos are still hotlinked in my older entries.

I finally got myself a brand new account today, mostly because I was trying to put off having to do actual work. Haha! It’s been awhile since I’ve used Flickr, and I must say I’m quite impressed! The Flickr uploader that I downloaded make it a hell lot easier to upload photos, and it even resizes them for me – I likey!

Going through my old photos and uploading them was rather nice; I kept stumbling on photos that I’d forgotten about. It also really made me miss having a dSLR to hold and shoot with. That, and holding Yiyang’s EOS for about 10 minutes last week. Sighh, I really want my own! =(

ANYWAY, so much talk and I haven’t told you where to find me on Flickr. Clicky!

Are you on Flickr too? Leave me a note or add me! Hehe.

I’m thinking of upgrading to a Pro account so that I can upload all my photos there in the future! I’m at my limit for the monthly uploads, and halfway to not having all my photos shown already. Sheesh. Perhaps I’ll wait a couple of days to see if the excitement wears off, but knowing myself, I’ll probably upgrade anyway.

Unless….. one of you is feeling nice and generous today?

Pinkie and I have the oddest conversations. Not complaining obviously, because I hate it when things around me get boring and normal.

Last night when I got home from congre meeting, I wanted to talk so I dropped him a text asking him if he was still playing his game. He replied and told me he’d stopped with Gunbound (YEA I KNOW RIGHT? Hahahaha but okay, he’s abit unreasonably good at it) but was now playing Winning Eleven, soccer game on his PS3:

I’m in my brother’s room lying on his bed using my laptop because 1) we’re bored and 2) he had instant noodles just now – the smell made me walk in. HAHA.
He just messaged me on MSN and said Hi, so I had no choice but to reply “burp” whilst burping in real life too.

SO ANYWAY, I know I said I’d post a proper post about a week ago but never got round to it because well, lazing around got the better of me.

For the benefit of those I haven’t had the chance to personally update yet, and for people like Tania who stalks me and apparently feels connected to her friends here through their blogs, HELLO! Haha.

Since a week ago, I’ve been officially unemployed! Hehe. Yea, I know I sound exceptionally cheerful about being jobless – that’s because I am! I was at SPOON Creative as an Accounts Executive. No, not dealing with financials but with clients. Essentially account servicing. It was 7 months there, and I swear, after this stint, I really am never going to take a up a job purely because of the money again.

It’s not the company was bad or I couldn’t get along with the people there. Quite the contrary actually. Everything was good – the bosses, colleagues, hours.. I just hated my job scope. I initially took up the job because I wanted exposure into the design industry before I go ahead with my studies, and I couldn’t apply for the post of a designer because of a host of reasons, much as I would love to.

Liwei told me of the opening for an AE, and I went ahead to apply because given my background, it’s something that I can handle. It was after a couple of months when I realised I couldn’t carry on with the job because I was getting increasingly bored and frustrated with the job scope. I never blogged about it because I think it’s flipping unprofessional to bitch about it openly on your blog.

The people at SPOON were what made the 7 months bearable, and ultimately a whole lot of fun especially in the last 3 months or so. We’d constantly drive out for lunches because we’re all just so sick of the food at Tiong Bahru Market, which is right next to us. The constant yelling and shrieking in the office was insanely fun because everyone’s crazy.

When it was time for me to leave, I didn’t think that I’d miss them and feel as sad as I do about not seeing them everyday. Beyond the crazy fun we have in the office, they’re also a bunch of madly sweet people who’d drive out and travel with me when I had to get admission stuff done for school (which I’ll talk about in abit). If you didn’t already know, I really was very very touched when all of you took the time off even when you had work to do to have lunch farther away just so I had a convenient way of going to get my stuff done.

Over the months, I think I started to care and love them more than I thought I would. A couple of my Saturdays have also been spent with Charmaine, Roy and Liwei as well as Charm’s 2 cousins cos we’d all babysit them together. I loved those Saturdays and I really would like more to come.

I miss the Spoonsters, as they’re affectionately called.. I miss the morning JOLENEAREYOUHUNGRY!!!!s, and the constant LIWEISHUTUPLAa.

And although I really did feel like killing Liwei many times during the 7 months, he can be undeniably sweet:

tube:
for about 5 – 6 years i’ve only been a virtual friend to you
and vice versa.
and suddenly you are part of my working life
and suddenly you are gonna go off again
i just feel like someone stole ice cream from me

On my last day at work, Charm and Roy cancelled their date night dinner to have dinner with me – thank you!! I really do appreciate it; it made me happy hehe. Charm, Roy, Liwei, Andee and myself headed to the Fish Bistro at Hillcrest where I finally had my cod fish!!! I’d been craving for it for AGES. Sighhh, unfortunately it was much too fishy for me so my cod fish craving is still unsatisfied. The food there is really good though!!

We headed to Klee after that, this tucked away bar at Portsdown. It’s a really lovely place where they don’t have a menu and the bartenders will mix up something for you. The strawberry sake cocktail is AWESOME. Plus, they’re really nice. Photos another time!

Before we left office on my last day, we took tons of photos with Photobooth!! I love how they’re all crazy and fun-loving. My favourite kind of people to work with!

And here are the mad Spoonsters…

Liwei and myself!

With neoprints that we all took months ago during lunch! haha!

Me with the panda that they all got me for my birthday!! And Liwei with..... Fluffy. HAHAHA!!

AHAHAHA OMG LIWEI IS RETARDED!

yea, we fight everyday at work.

My cute panda! And the fake bread that Liwei tricked Charm into eating before. AHAHA!

Charm joins in! (pronounced sharm k)

haha omg charm is damn cute

Everybody! (yeaaa..) That's Roy at the back, and Andee with half a face

everyone with half a face...

LOL, i love how everyone always has different expressions in the photos!!

THAT'S MY SMUDGED EYELINER AT 8PM not eyerings k!!!!!!!!

Beefcake Seah.... and a pregnant-looking Charm. AHAHAHA

HAHAHA OMG i'm laughing while blogging la!!!

And by then, I was laughing like mad. PLEASE LOOK AT CHARM. HAHAHAHA

WHAT IS SEEMINGLY A NORMAL PHOTO.

One of my favourites because everyone's just doing their own thing!

Hahahahaha!! Damn, posting the photos up was very fun! I was laughing like a crazy seal in front of my Macbook whilst trying to format this entry. Hahaha, I MISS THE SPOONSTERSSSSS. I’m sure we’ll meet soon! Hehe.

So what happens now that I am jobless? Heh heh heh.. Lots of slacking and lazing around, of course! My sleeping pattern’s whacked but no matter, they’ll be back to somewhat normal next week, YOU KNOW WHYYY? *annoying face*

Because………..

Before I go on – LASALLE’s Degree course takes 4 years, including the Foundation Year. Year 3 (which is the fourth year) is the Degree year, i/e if you stop studying after Year 2, you’ll graduate with a diploma.

When the interviewer kindly offered me direct entry into Year 1, I was thrilled! I’d found out during the interview that what will be taught in Year 1 will be fine with me, even without taking the Foundation Year. Praise God! I thank God also for His presence with me, for when I walked into the interview room an immediate sense of calm fell upon me.

I’m incredibly excited to be going back to school! With that excitement also comes anxiety – I worry that I won’t get used to having to do assignments and projects when I get home. For the past 3 years, when I get home all I do is unwind and go online for fun! Sheesh. Hahaha..

Oh, and I also worry about making new friends. AHAHAHA. Oh shuddup, don’t laugh at me! It’s trueeee.

Despite the nerves, my screwed sleeping pattern and having no income, I’m way excited for what is to come, as well as being very happy that Pinkie is coming home in 4 days! His exams end tomorrow, after stretching over a period of one month. Mad.

I cannot cannot cannot cannot wait to squish you. HEE HEE!

And now that I’ve FINALLY blogged this super long crazy post of updates on my life, I will reward myself with Timtams + cold milk! LIFE IS GOOOOOD! =))
