Woohoo back here after a week? It feels longer than that hmm. Had two tests today which both of them went quite badly I think -.- Sustainability quiz which was supposedly easier but I guess I can only be confident of my answers for like 6 out of 15 questions whattttt not even a pass?! Accounting test today what a joke. Can only balance shit as usual. Sucks that I can never balance anything. I really really really want to do better than a B+ for Accounting leh :( All talk no action, too lazy to prepare for Accounting tomorrow. And project meeting tomorrow early in the morning ohwell.

Shall tumblr a while till 12.30am and maybe read a little of Accounting and then sleep. Yes, I can do it. 

Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same

Really pretty amazed how I am so in love with The Fray after the free concert LOL. They said their lyrics come second to their melody/tune, but how can their lyrics make so much sense when it is only their second priority?!

Okay survive tomorrow and then watch TVD finally tomorrow night hehehe. Maybe I should go for a swim. Cause I cant really run with a semi injured tendon. Mehhh.

If you want to know how you truly feel about life, stay up until it's like in the middle of the night. Like 2am. When it is quiet and everyone else at your home is asleep.

Most of the times when I am awake so late I always end up thinking about life.

And then I will feel sad. Not those overwhelming sadness but just slightly sad. Each time I stayed up late, past regrets never fail to haunt me. I mean I am still young, how much regrets can I actually have right? But then everyone has their own issues right?

No, I am not pessimistic or depressed or even really sad. I will just go to bed, regretting that I waste some time and then wake up and carry on with my life activities behaving like a generally happy/optimistic person (who is slightly angsty or should I say quite angsty?). Okay this sounds as if I am acting happy but I am not. It's like being contented/generally happy in life but not truly happy I guess.

Just some random thoughts at this time of the night. Good night.

They said that songs always serve as memory markers. Guess it's true. Remembering all those days while listening to this 2011 mashup. :) There's the 2012 one but I guess this sounds better somehow.

Feeling really tired again. Coffee plus work SIGHHHHH.

Random thing #1: I went to google for my own name and it's disturbing to see how my old twitter account appeared :/ How do I remove it when it got hacked into :( I think I reported it so many times that the account cannot be used anymore but how do I delete it? And blogger is one horrible website. I thought my blog cannot be found on Google but then I realised if someone look hard enough, it can be found. Not that I blog about top secrets but I don't like the idea that someone can just google for something and then come to my blog cause all I do here is to rant hahaha.

Random thing #2: Haven't listened to the radio station while doing work for a loooong time. Used to do that a lot during JC days and just realised they do play a lot of older (2011/2012 okay not that old) songs. Ahhh memories.

Random thing #3: Okay no one is really supposed to understand this part. I guess somehow I forgot how I wanted bigger things in life. Need to stop drifting around. Need to stop having such a imaginative mind.

Back to sustainability.

I do not date much and as a result, both friends and family have accused me of having unreachable standards. One of the arguments that I constantly hear is that every boy deserves at least a chance.
The problem with giving every guy a chance is the false hope that accompanies it. I have always operated under the golden rule of treating others the way I would like to be treated. There have been so many times that I have been on not one, but multiple dates with guys who were ‘just giving me a chance’. I would honestly prefer it if they did not even bother because most of the time, if they are indecisive from the get go, it never changes. I know that there are exceptions to every rule, but in my experience, every time I’ve allowed myself to become remotely involved with a guy who was on the fence about anything, I have found myself disappointed. With that in mind, I also know that if I am even slightly iffy about accepting a date invitation from a guy, most of the time I am definitely not interested enough to be wasting his time and money. I understand that the concept of dating is taking the time to get to know someone, but it’s not fair to string someone along with my uncertainty. I appreciate the same respect from guys because in the end, I don’t want to just be considered an option, and that’s what uncertainties usually end up. Options. Not decisions.
Whenever I use this argument among friends, they like to counter with my standards being too high. I have been told that I am superficial or that I am asking too much or that I watch too many Disney movies and am looking for a handsome prince that doesn’t exist. The bottom line is that I am not looking for some handsome prince to sweep me off my feet. I actually do not have a specific set of standards that I expect a man to conform to. All that I’m looking for is a feeling; I want someone who makes me want to check my phone for texts every two seconds, want to feel butterflies everytime I go out to meet him. I want someone who challenges me, makes me think, makes me question everything and just generally makes me a better person, while hoping that I do the same for him.
I think that ultimately, a feeling is all that anyone is looking for. There are different standards that are set to achieve said feeling, but the desired outcome is usually the same. Some people will date a million guys in search of it; others will sit and wait for the right one, ignoring all others in favor of that perfect fit. Having high standards is no worse a means of searching than the philosophy of giving everyone a chance is. 
Awesome read from: http://thoughtcatalog.com/2013/people-tell-me-i-have-high-standards-but-a-feeling-is-all-that-im-looking-for/

  1. Been really obsessed with The Fray's songs (okay not that crazy extent) ever since I watched them performed. It's like amazing how some people have so much passion/dedication in what they are doing. Okay been playing The Fray's song while doing stupid Accounting (ewww). Look after you was playing and I thought of this random comment made by people around me during the concert... "Eh sing 'Look after you' to her lah, bet she will love you a lot." HAHA, well yes, look after you is damn freaking sweet haha.

  2. Leading to another thought... Is being forever alone. HAHA okay the fear of ending up alone. Now I sound like a desperate old spinster. OH WELL. Glad to know that I am not the only one. Love it when I find people who make me feel I am not alone. Glad that someone agrees with my "I am just looking for a feeling". Yesss I know it's too idealistic perhaps. Maybe even impossible, but it's really something I believe in and I won't change it. Should really show more people the article from Thoughtcatalog, it's totally in sync (right word or not) with what I feel about this whole issue.

  3. Shopping in town after like three months I think omgggg. Orchard air on a Thursday afternoon makes me happy and I am still thinking of highlighting my hair. Or extensions. Who's up for lilac highlights/extensions? Thinking that I should get that after Dec interview (and hopefully get a PA and can go HK with ahlian looking hair KIDDING about ahlian but serious about pink/lilac.Cause YOLO okay lah the reason is not cause of yolo)

  4. Thinking how some people can be that selfish actually and then thinking about going out to work :( Like this selfishness is so real in the working world. Like how some people slog their guts out and in the end someone who can bullshit/naturally smarter/better in talking gets all the credit. Totally unfair. So I guess that's why we need to learn how to present well?

  5. And how some people are like omg just too nice. And how sad I feel for them. Obviously thankful and like them a lot but I always feel "omgggg you need to stand up for yourself leh!!!" HAHA always don't believe in being too nice to people. Like yes, you should be nice to people generally but if people aren't nice to you, you probably shouldn't be that nice to them leh. Cause you will just be taken for granted. Taken as easily bullied. And sadly most people won't be bothered to defend you anyway. You have to learn to take care of yourself, I guess. 

  6. I think I become smarter as the night progresses. And I think the tendency to make egoistic statements also increases.

  7. I actually think I feel more motivated after staying up this late to rack my brains over FREAKING ACCOUNTING. But I still have no freaking idea why people can/must sleep only freaking three hours a day?! What are they/the person is doing omgggg. I feel so slack. And why is four hours considered a lot?! No wonder people do so well I guess oops.

  8. Edited this post by using HTML. Still remember those lower sec days when I was obsessed with the pretty pretty background and try and customise here, customise there. Ask people read my posts. Now I am like, omg I hope most people will never see any posts here. Especially those with me emoing. Or being angsty HAHA.

  9. Okay point 6 was just for fun. Good nightttt :)

Hi recess week :) Half the semester is over, can't wait for this semester to be over and I will be in another country. 

Okay so this semester I started my recess week with a bang hehe ^^ Super grateful for the ticket from Jia Hui's friend. So I guess this is what they mean that it is important to know more people hahaha. The opportunity to see The Fray performing live. I am still starstruck/amazed at how good they sound live. 

Not the biggest The Fray fan around actually haha. Only knew the popular songs from them like You Found Me, Never Say Never, How To Save A Life, Syndicate, The Fighter, Heartbeat before I went to google for more songs hahaha. Okay but I went to research and found more songs before the concert. HAHA lucky I did that cause if not I will feel so noob among the crowd of crazy fans hahaha.

Actually the event didnt start off well actually. Bad direction sense again. Walked from MBS (Bayfront) to Promenade instead of Promontory then run from Promenade to Esplanade then all the way back to Promontory (which I swear it's nearer to Raffles MRT). SIGHHH bad directions and no one seem to know where the Promontory was -.- The reason why I managed to find out where it is? By searching #thefray on Instagram. Thank goodness for Instagram HAHA. Anw ran all the way in flats and dress and now I have freaking painful blister. How to run nowww :(

But The Fray proved to be worth it :) Omg can't describe my happiness when I heard Never Say Never live. Wanted to record the entire song, but a little lazy to hold the phone for so long. And I wanted to enjoy the song hehe. Luckily I can't hear my own voice in the video HAHA. Was singing along hehe.

How To Save A Life got the most reaction from the crowd I think haha. Everyone seems so high except for some weird people who screamed "I LOVE YOU COLDPLAY" for fun wth. And then I think there's people who actually just sat outside through the entire concert to drink like whaatttt. I mean I know it's a Guinness Day thing but still, for stout only?!

Anw discovered that drinking was really an acquired taste thing. Haha just like how coffee and chai tea are about acquired taste too. So many things in life are just a matter of habit I guess. Like running and maybe even feelings towards things and people. Oh and I think I kind of understand why people like to drink, but noooo, not going to be an alcoholic haha.


SIGHHH phone camera sucks. Okay good night. Maybe I will dream about them tonight HAHA. Okay shall sleep nowww. Driving lesson and then Accounting project. Maybe will get to drink Starbucks tomorrow hehe. Oh I mean later today. Nightttt.
