Industrial Piercings

I wanna get a cool ass industrial piercing because just look at it and you'll understand:

Look at it, they even have an arrow barbell and it'll make your ear appear cool as hell and badass. And her red hair compliments it so well. Now I feel like getting my hair dyed red too, the same shade as the hers. But I'll look weird with hair the same hue as passionate and warm red. Well, because I'm not a Caucasian. 

Here's the arrow barbell:

And I'll show you some more industrial barbells

The above is some of the basic industrial barbells.

And below, this the cool ass barbells I'm talking about.

I think I've showed enough. 

Now, after seeing the bunch of photos, have you been moved enough to get an industrial piercing yet? Maybe not now but I bet your mind is now considering that option, right? Hah. I knew it. You can't resist that temptation after looking through all that admirable pictures, right? Hehehe. *cue evil laughter*

Angst

My last paper just ended today. All those academic stress and relief that has been building up in me can finally be released. I felt so light-headed when I finished the paper. I even had more than enough time to re-check my paper twice. After this, I would have two months of holiday which means freedom! To celebrate this amazing news, the 74 gang went to AMK hub to eat Prata. Yes, the Prata shop @ AMK hub. And guess what, Brandon went to try the Bomb Prata which none of us was daring enough to try it. Turns out it's just Prata full of sugar in it, probably enough to contract diabetes. Hah. In the beginning, I imagined it to be a Prata filled with so much chilli and spices that can literally make anyone cry. It's the total opposite in the end. Anyway, had a great lunch with the 74 gang with much laughter. Thanks guys! 

After lunch, we went on our separate ways home and I've decided to stroll around Northpoint and perhaps do some window-shopping. I really wanted to hang out with them longer but it seems that they couldn't make it. All well, I can handle shopping alone anyway. So would you like to guess which shop I went in first?

That's right! It's Cotton On! (Even though I know that you didn't answer. Hahaha) Cotton On is just simply my the kind of shop that I would hang out in. The prices are affordable and also reasonable. The designs are up-to-trend and youngster-ish. And there would be sections such as 2 for $30 or Nothing Over $10 which I love to browse. Mainly because of the price though. But you know, money is really hard to earn, so I have to be thrifty. And then I thought about getting my friend's birthday present since her birthday is coming soon. Originally, I wanted to get her something feminine or girly like soft toys or pretty cards. However, I didn't wanna be cliche, so I thought and thought and thought but nothing comes to my mind. I'm really bad at picking gifts. In the end, I've decided to settle for online shopping and look for creative gifts or maybe I can even give her a hand made gift. Hmm, that's definitely worth considering. 

Since I couldn't get anything out of Northpoint, I decided to go home and chill. And from then on, things started to get sucky. 

*WARNING: RANT CONTENT BELOW
I warned you.*

I reached home and the first thing I'm ordered to do was to greet my mother. I mean, okay, there's nothing wrong with greeting my mum when I reached home, I used to do that. However, after I greeted her as instructed by my father, I didn't receive a pleasant response. All I got was sarcastic one-sided comments biased against me. (She said it in Chinese but I'll do my best to translate it into English) "*Sigh* There's no point for you to greet me, you don't even care about me anyway. As if I'm transparent and invisible. It's okay, there's no need for you to greet me anymore. No one cares about me." After she said this, I walked away with a black face so ominous my father just stared at me with concern while I headed in the direction of my room and went in, I didn't slam the door, mind you. I wanted so much to talk back saying how I used to greet her in the past and all I got from her was the same half-assed remarks. Is respect really that hard to earn from mothers? Doesn't she realise how hurt I was after hearing my own mum saying that kind of words to me? Does she really think that I'm heartless and cold-blooded? I don't understand why is she so full of herself. And if I corrected her (she would probably refer my actions as rebelled), she would definitely get all defensive and protect herself instead of hearing me out. I would really like to stand up for myself, I just hope I had the courage to. I hope my mind wouldn't go blank in the middle of the argument and thus forced to concede to her. Because I really want her to change her attitude of thinking that she is a big deal. My god, what should I do? 
Thereafter, my mind is just filled of dilemmas of whether I should stand up for myself or not. And somehow, I kind of got depressed over-thinking about this issue and felt pathetic. Well, there's only me to blame though. I figured that if I don't do something about this, I'll remained depressed and pathetic and my mood would shift dangerously into the I'm-pissed-off-don't-talk-to-me zone. Hence, in an attempt to clear my mind and put everything back in place, I went for a run. Running isn't my forte and it's not my hobby or past-time activity either. 

I run to lose weight, well, it isn't going very well though.
I run to distress.
I run to clear my mind, distract myself and all the while focusing on running and my timing.
I run for fun.
I run when I have nothing else better to do.
Sometimes, I even run when I'm sad. 
And today is definitely one of those days where mood-swings decide to hit me and I would effectively fall into it's trap all because of my over-thinking nature. Great. 
Indeed, while I'm running, all I could think of was besting my own personal record and I just kept on running and running. Hoping that my legs would somehow be faster than the ticking of time on my watch if I keep on motivating myself to continue running. As expected, I bested my own personal timing. But there's wasn't much self satisfaction felt through me. Instead, I felt pitiable. Even when I swallowed my own saliva, the dryness of my throat choked me and left me gasping. Thankfully, I brought my bottled water with my everytime I ran just in case. 
My mind cleared. At least it's less cloudy now. And I've decided. If I don't stand up for myself, who will?

ISTP

Okay, so I'm an ISTP now. 

I'm the EXPLORER.

AND I'M RARE. I'm so smitten right now, hearing that I'm rare makes me so happy and also boosts my self-confidence. Thanks personality overview.

So I just ended my second paper today and thus I bought this drink which I'm currently super crazy over to celebrate. I mean it's sooo good, it's like a drink made from heaven. If you haven't tried it yet, it's your loss. I would definitely give it a 15/10 awkward laughing ducks. 

I've gotten back my phone yesterday from the htc customer service centre since it's spoilt. They said something about changing the motherboard and also fixing something. I can't really remember the details and it sounded so foreign to me. Anyway, it's working fine now! Woohoo! I can continue to read my fanfics and tumblr on my phone again! 

I've also bought most of the necessary stuffs for the decoration of classroom to welcome the Japanese students. What's left is the balloons and the collection of coasters, maybe I should order a tank of helium so we can have floating balloons. Is that better? Yeah, maybe I should really order it and since it's within the budget given too. Ohh, and I also have to draw out the races and iconic trademarks of Singapore onto the vanguard sheet. There's just one problem: I can't draw well and neither do any of the subcomm members (although they didn't really show their drawing skills to me at all, I can still tell). And this will be going on to the white boards in front of the class to see. To make it even worse, Japanese are known for their creativity which can be seen from drawings made out of chalk on their blackboards (Yes, this may be a stereotype to all the Japanese but at least it's a good stereotype right?). We would be disgracing ourselves if we hung up lousy drawings. I'm doomed. What should I do?! 

Perhaps I should discuss this with my subcomm members and let them solve the problem for me. Hahahaha. 

And for once, I'm not blogging late at night! Achievement unlocked!

And it's only 3.51pm right now. I have time to catch up on animes and other shows! :D

Feels

It's currently 3.14 am and I'm here blogging. I know my body clock is pretty much screwed and I read from some articles that if you don't sleep early, you'll gain weight. Well, wish me luck people. I wanna lose weight but my body doesn't wanna listen to me. 

Anyway, there's news that the anime, Hunter X Hunter, will probably be going on hiatus after episode 148 which is only 6 more episodes. Since the anime is catching up on the manga and the manga has not provide enough material for the anime to continue, the production team, MADHOUSE, has no choice but to put the anime on hold first. And yes, I'm devastated by this news. I really don't want the anime to be on a hiatus because then I would have nothing to watch on Wednesdays as it's practically a HxH day and I don't feel like watching any other anime because I don't wanna get hurt again. 

I feel like I'm in a relationship where my boyfriend had initiated a break-up. And the whole fandom is very sad too. All those tumblr posts about HxH anime's hiatus is on my dashboard. But on the bright side, there's a chance MADHOUSE will continue the anime once the manga has provided enough materials since nothing's really confirmed yet. And so, I'm gonna hold tightly on to that little dash of hope, crossing my fingers and praying silently. 

Anyway, right now, I'm also photoshopping some coaster designs. Can you believe it? I'm actually photoshopping. And to be honest, the last time I've used Photoshop is 2 years ago for designing my section tee's designs. And I've totally forgotten how to use it, like where is the tool which allows you to add a new layer and also the one which lets you choose shapes. OMG. I seriously suck at Photoshop. And my designs are ridiculously lame, they aren't completed though.

Ludicrously childish designs right?
Maybe I should just go to sleep and continue tomorrow. Maybe I can find some incredible designs in my dreams and be totally inspired when I wake up.
Yeah, that sounds good. My brain isn't gonna come up with any good designs at this timing anyway.

Time flies.

Semester One is going to come to an end after 3 papers and time really flies when you're in poly. Gosh. Poly life for me has been quite slack compared to those JC students but there're more presentations to do in Poly which you guys would have probably know that I really hate them. But still, I hope to have more time in Poly during this freshman year. I still wanna enjoy it a little longer. :(

Guess what, I ate my phone's soul today. Wonderful.

My phone died on me and it's only like two months since I got that phone. Guys, don't trust cheap phones. The next time I can change my phone, I'm absolutely willing to pay more for my next phone. 

-Shinee Fangirl Section-

Oh, and TaeMin's solo MV is out! Oh My God. He's so god damn smexy. He has totally transformed from a cute and youthful 16-year-old teenager to a hot and sexy man. My boy has grown a lot. Danger~

Look at the way he walks, he's definitely grown. Mah boy. *wipes tears off my eyes and also blood from my nosebleed* 

Hair porn.

This makes me really wanna dye/highlight my hair. 

ISFP

I'm typing this post while listening to IU's smoothing voice. :) Her voice is damn good and her vocal range is just sick. 

I mean, just look at her, she's so pretty~

ISFP - Introversion, Sensing, Feeling, Perceiving (This is exactly what the title means)
So, I just took a really simple personality test to find out which of the 16 personalities I have. The link is here! There's only 4 questions and 2 options for each questions. The options have also been described clearly so it should be more helpful to you. And after doing the test, I got ISFP. 

Positive Traits:

• Highly creative
• True appreciators of aesthetic beauty and nature
• Warm and friendly
• Usually optimistic
• Encouraging, supportive
• Good at handling practical, day-to-day tasks
• Flexible, go-with-the-flow
• Good eye for beauty, space, function – likely to have lovely homes
• Take commitments seriously
• Seek lifelong relationships
• Typically respectful of others’ personal space
• Show affection through their actions
• Focus on enjoying the here and now
• Keenly in tune with their senses – look, smell, sound, feel
• Likely to be gifted in the artistic sense in one form or another
• Have strong personal values and continually strive to meet them
• Will likely rebel against anything that conflicts with what they feel is right
• Quiet and reserved
• Gentle, kind, sensitive, and sympathetic to others
• Service-oriented and interested in others’ wellbeing and happiness

Negative Traits:

• Tend to hold back feelings and thoughts
• May not be good with long-term planning
• Intensely dislike criticism and conflict
• May come off as lazy/slow-moving to others
• May be uncomfortable verbally expressing affection
• Can be hard to get to know well
• Tend to be too hard on themselves and not give themselves enough credit
• Because they tend to take life so seriously, it may not be easy for them

Well, some of the traits are true while some are not, but most of them depicts my personality pretty well. So I guess this should be quite accurate. I think this originated from a MBIT test but it requires money to take it as it requires the assistance of a professional. But I guess this much should do. 

And guess what, I'm blogging late at night again. Sighpie. I should really kick off this bad habit before I start regretting and hating on myself all over again. My resolve is kinda weak though. 
Anyway, today, I went to watch Guardians of the Galaxy today although I had originally planned to watch Hercules. I really wanted to watch Hercules since my sisters kept on commenting on how funny it is. I'll probably go and watch it on Thursday or something. And here's my short review on the movie:

So it's a really action packed movie and I absolutely love action movies! Their swift movements and effects were what kept me wanting more and also putting lots of thrills in my heart! But the story plot is kind of typical, no plot twist or whatsoever confusing idea with the good guys and bad guys and there are still some loose ends which needed to be tied up. So, I'm guessing there'll be a part 2 to it! I'm looking forward to the 2nd part of it! So it's 9\10 for the actions but 7\10 for the plot and thus overall, 8\10 for the movie. All in all, I would still recommend it to my friends too! :)

Hiatus, not.

I'm finally back after the super long hiatus. 
So, I just checked my blog views and I'm pleasantly surprised at first that there are still 'one-view' on my blog for the past few days. It's probably just a couple of random people stumbling across my blog on different days coincidentally or maybe, its a stalker checking on my blog constantly everyday. And I just successfully freaked myself out. Hahahha. 

Anywayyyyyy..
I won't go over what happened over the past few days in details because that would just take too long and I probably don't remember the details anyway. Thus, I'll just give a brief summary of what happened.

I stopped blogging for a while because I was too stressed out. By lots of things, projects, presentations and the responsibility to constantly blog something + it should be something new and entertaining. So I decided to take some time off blogging to clear off my mind and concentrate on my school work, and also since it took up a considerable amount of time to make lose sleep. Even now, it's past 1am and I'm currently sacrificing my sleep to blog about this. I know I shouldn't but I was quite high just now because my 9-10 lesson was cancelled and I can wake up one hour later than on usual Mondays. :) Okay, so there you have it, my pathetic reason for not blogging because I'm a pathetic person as I couldn't manage my time well. 
BUT!
I do have a pretty good reason for being so distracted though. 
I, the lazy worm, have fortunately stumbled upon Hunter X Hunter and followed up on the anime AND manga AND tumblr posts AND fan-fictions. And let me tell you this, 

IT'S FREAKING AWESOME!

I'm catching on every single updates of the anime and manga, reblogging and liking their tumblr posts, but I'm still in the midst of reading this wonderfully written fanfic by Lyra titles The Long Night. I strongly, I repeat, STRONGLY recommend you guys to read it too. Not only the fanfic, but also the anime and manga. It has amazing character developments in the manga which is flawlessly depicted onto the anime with the superb CG effects. 

And the chemistry and friendship between these two is the best I've ever seen in both the real world and the anime world. And even though, they are just kids, DO NOT BELITTLE THEM. Yes, I'm warning you right now and I'm sure you'll come to like them and the anime in no time! 

Okay, I guess that's enough fangirl-ing for one post so I shall stop here. 

Now, let me update you on what else happened. 

I did went for alumni band practices for SIBF (Singapore International Band Festival) and we got 3rd place! This is pretty amazing considering we only had 6 band practices together. And this is a pretty big deal. 

One Band, One Sound, One Selfie

And my dreaded COMISS presentation is finally over too! WOOHOO. And I'm still scared for public speaking though. Well, I should just celebrate this moment while I still can. And it's nearing the exam week but I'm already in celebratory mood. Hahaha, whoops. But, fret now, I'll study for it when it's time. Hehehe. 

Also, I've quit MiT online course because I just don't want to continue it anymore. It has killed many of my brain cells. And it's taking too much of my time when I have better things which I need to do like meeting the date lines of my assignments. 

Also, for the past 4/5 Saturdays, I've occupied with my Physics group project. So my Saturday free time has been eaten up as well. 

Yeah, I was pretty busy during this 2nd part of my Sem One. 

Not to mention, I've to also take care of the events together with the rest of the ES society members as well. No doubt, I'd be under stress and stop blogging, right? You'll understand me, right? 

*puppy eyes*

Well, anyway, I believed I have changed during this hiatus as I've been impacted by the Hunter X Hunter's character development and also it's fanfic - The Lost Night. Not that much though, just that my mindset has changed. I don't want to be cowardly anymore(at least not majority of the times), I'll be a straight-forward and sassy bitch and I'll put values and others first. 

Simply put, be a straight-forward and sassy and heroic lady. 

I know that seems rather impossible but I'll just keep on striving or just die trying, I guess.
