I feel like creating a tumblr.
apparently it's quite popular in westernised countries :/
and the layout looks really cool - beats a bird twitting here and there.
everytime i think of me going through lasik, i feel super happy.
to make do without those irritating glasses, and clear vision without any direct interference to your eyes.
the hype aside, tomorrow is v-day.
if i do wake up on time, i'd go gym in the morning.
then buy myself lunch.
and continue youtubing or pptving.
being alone is not that bad a thing no?
welps thats exactly what i've been telling myself before i'd gotten a phone/facebook account.
so i cant judge those couples.
but oh no, i think ima be a leftover wizard in life. (why does witch sound offensive, but wizard majestic)
i do believe that there're elements of boy and girl in any person.
it's just the extent of being 70% guy and 30% girl or any other proportions.
i think i fall on the 50-50 side.
the way i act and all.
and i think i can relate pretty well with either gender, minus all the awkward silence and such.
then i got this feeling that people who are 70% guy and 30% girl would be predominantly boyish, and be the usual desperate guy who goes crazy over girls.
vice versa for girls.
for people like me, the 50-50 lot, i do fine alone.
or maybe, better alone.
on the streets, i look at both pretty guys and girls.
and when someone passes a wink at me, trying to hit a hint, there will be this sort of fear in me.
there's this thing inside me telling me not to get attached and with all my might, i shun away and go into hiding.
and when the gaga subsides, at times, i regret my actions. at times.
i regret because i wonder if i'd do better not being alone.
then again, i know that relationships at this point will lead to nowhere.
as much as i'd like to believe in that, for the majority it just aint the case.
and like anyone in one, they'd say something about everlasting love and never leaving one another.
when the break comes, they'd live in what seems like eternal sorrow.
it's because i've witnessed it, am i thus fear-full.
this world is ruled by equilibrium.
when you get all the joy being together with your love, you will need to repay it somewhere sometime.
with equal intensity.
and with all the emoness i amass in my teens, i hope it pays off in having a beautiful adulthood.
when i blog, i feel offensive.
as though i am shattering one's dream in pieces.
mine included.
so yeps, happy v-day.

Brittany outside of cheerios uniform is so gorgeous.
like totally.
pretty clothes too.
dang, living in singapore is such a bore.
no broadway, no awesome clothes, and no expenditure. just continue saving till you die.
i must go to a broadway show before i die.
hooray another wish!
and this wish will not be realised in due time.
so i shall continue dreaming.
this guy, Darren Criss, who's playing Blaine in Glee, started off as a youtuber who played at cafes weekly.
3 years ago, his voice wasn't wowing.
but the numbers he pulled off in Glee are beautiful.
it's not powerful but it's nice.
more of like pleasing to the ears and really really get me happy.
his rendition of Teenage Dream, Baby it's Cold Outside, and Hey Soul Sister! AWESOMENESS.
with that many awesomes in my post, i feel like an american haha.
the land of dreams.
3 years later, i am going to have his voice.
eh wait, i wouldnt be practicing for 2 years.
ima sound like a mule when i am out.
byebye to variable speech tones.

ok, i've decided on the clinic and consultant.
LIKE FINALLY :D
i'd give Shinagawa a call tomorrow to schedule a pre-op evaluation.
going for Intralase Wavefront LASIK.
intralase means that they cut a flap with a laser.
and wavefront is personalised and customised tissue removal.
It's gonna cost about 3.5 grand in total i suppose.
as of now i dont feel scared or nervous!
maybe because i've seen from a forum that they blur your vision prior to the operation.
and while you can feel the pressure exerted by the cap on your eye, the other victims described it to be mild and i am glad i wear contacts - thus not uncomfortable with fingers on my eyes.
i was caught between Shinagawa and Lasik Surgery Centre (lsc)
so i searched the forums. (for recent posts)
and while lsc is widely advertised, MANY described the clinic tantamount to that of a factory line.
with lots of cheenas and foreigners on the conveyor belt, ready to be delivered into the consultation room, and promptly leaving after that. like INSTANTaneously.
that freaked me out a little.
and guess what, it's compounded with a lot more negative feedback.
initially i only saw the good stuff.
but it was dated 2004.
and as i continued through the articles,
2009 and 2010 proved to me that the doctor was rather bochup with your case, and rushing through the operation and consultation being more of a marketing executive rather than a man in white.
there were more cases of post-op complications and many labelled the experience "unenjoyable".
and so i went to check on Shinagawa.
i failed to find any raves about it.
and while it isn't as much patronised (probably due to lack of publicity), i find the system more enticing.
the consultation is 1 to 1, with results backed up by thorough medical analysis.
and there was this guy on the forum who wanted to do lasik.
he went to one clinic and they offered him the most expensive package.
but when he went for the evaluation at Shinagawa, they assured him that no lasik treatment is required and his life will be fine the way it already is.
apparently he only has a degree of 200.
if they do have the ethics to turn down potential clients that others preyed upon, i feel at ease getting my treatment there.
moreover, Shinagawa's a 'franchise' with headquarters based in japan.
and given the pretty guys and girls there, i garner more confidence in them.
SAY NO TO SPECTACLES IN A MONTH'S TIME. hopefully.
SAY NO TO PROCRASTINATION. i seriously need to give them a call.
and my pes status is still pending. *sigh*

Reunion dinners in singapore's geographical context is totally hilarious can.
If you spend it with fun and cool people then it'd be awesome.
my dinner was so exciting that i was stalking facebook the entire time.
and i purposely under-dress myself this time every year.
looking presentable correlates to your respect for whoever you're meeting - true :O
it was a 10 course meal today, and there were 5 proteins - braised duck, roasted chicken, steamed fish, fried prawns and the sucky suckling.
out of all these, i gave the pork, duck and fish a pass.
i could see the layer of fats below the skins! :O
and the fish had this muddy taste.
the prawn had some pesticide taste as well.
having no appetite to start with, i'd barely touched anything for the entire 'feast' due to the wonderful dishes prepared.
The entire meal = half a chicken breast, one tablespoon of spinach that tasted like ant-infested grass, one mini-abalone, 3 mouthfuls of yusheng, 2 spoons of lotus-leaf rice, 1 prawn, a bowl of shark's fin soup and a serving of mango pudding.
That costs $70 for myself.
It's such a waste, omg.
and it's not even nice.
Doh, i dislike reunion dinners.
