against the run of play.

blackburn have just made history by destroying manchester united 3-2 at old trafford.

as i've said, against the run of play.

shall attempt to ignore the sound of channel 5 and do a full recap of the year.

this year has been, different. not what i would have predicted, but i regret nothing. after all, it has made me what i am today. strange though, there have been more ups and downs than i thought possible okay aoisjhdoqwyeoqwy screw this it's too cliche.

but, things just seem to happen as and when they like. even impossibly random things.

and i have met the most awesome of people along the way. thank you, to you, my dear readers.

some journey we had, eh? and it's going to continue..

sounds cheesy.

like those fries. they were awesome.

you made a wish, and here i was. well, ran into some trouble along the way and had to take a longer route, but it all worked out in the end.

the story of my life.

before the passing.

i've decided to do the post before dinner.

anyway, this was the view about 30mins ago. phone cam :D

so, today went out to meet mr alvin tan for lunch. i'd rather just call him alvin because i don't like adding titles, it's too formal. so, we went to meet alvin for lunch!

yeah and we brought him some chipmunks.

met at the bus stop, renda dressed flamboyantly as usual :

we all wore t-shirt and shorts..which is the norm i guess? brian also wore shirt but at least he buttoned it properly haha.

anyway, lunch at 18 chefs! again :D

wenxi "smiling", while edwin moves again..

he always moves during photos, that's the conjecture.

tomato soup! very nice. not too sour, and there's pasta inside.

cheese fries!

my fish and chips

edwin's pasta..with mussels!

group shot (:

a cow.

waffles :D

then they went to arcade and smashed the basketball record..

and that's at brian's house.

i'm having sandwiches for dinner.

on the last day of the year.

oops it's dinner now i've got to go haha. later.

finally, here are the photos.

hello. yes this is a picture post! finally.

anyway went to school today to register for hostel and clean the room. dion brought his maid and vacuum cleaner xD so the toilet's done. my mum came to help, so she me and jordan did our side..it is very dusty.

and we pulled out the beds and there were ants under mine. typical.

i love this keyboard.

then had to rush back home because my mum had a lunch appointment. forgot to hand in the check-in list..i'll hand that in on sunday along with my leave application form when i go back to pile stuff into the room. not free tmr, it's my turn to have a lunch appointment heh.

the last few days of 2011. let's enjoy them.

while preparing for school.

anyway, picture time! this dates back to yesterday haha.

yes, i used to collect that.

my old purple phone. decommissioned now.

and speaking of phones, old phones!

the epic mess (i didn't rotate just upload)

and then that night there was this huge explosion/fire in the sky, so i decided to do this :

the tripod's kinda iffy, but it did minimize shakes quite a bit so i could set a lower iso. by lower, i mean ISO 1250. Without the tripod i had to go to the max, which is 6400 i think. or 12800, can't really remember.

blogger's limit is 8MB, so i suggest you check out the full album here.

yes, click the here.

so today went hostel, as you already know.

Cluster 12A!

yes it's all my brother i was too busy cleaning and rushing.

and the fingerprint thingy is..

let's just say it's not entirely foolproof. that, is why you need a sonic screwdriver.

right, shall go. goodnight.

you're a million miles away.

problems mounting.

looks like i'm going to be damn busy during orientation. but whatever, i love taking photos.

more than i love eating food.

okay maybe not.

i'll consider them equals for now.

thing is, i'm going to hostel soon.

-checks watch-

no i don't have a watch. that was just for effect.

in a few days, anyway.

so i will need a computer. currently copying all the stuff from my account in this computer onto my macbook. and the thing is because the copying is going on i can't make any changes to the computer. i can't download anything, move anything. and i have photos to post but i guess it's not possible sorry :(

rather spectacular photos too. i think there was a fire at the tampines area or something so the sky was lit up with a orange glow.

okay, the sky is still lit up. that is scary.

hope no one's hurt.

anyway, spent most of today clearing up my room and old notes. dumped everything into one box, and then cleared the junk from my "fish sauce" box (only those of you who pay close attention will get this), and then slacked around doing nothing again..

it's the holidays. well, it is still the holidays.

i forget that i still have a montage to make. with zero photos. hopefully mr syed can supply them soon.

gosh. going to school tmr to check into hostel and clean the room. i'm just going to bring my school stuff to keep there because can't be bothered to pack clothes..i'll leave that to the last moment.

this is so frustrating i want to post photos! the blog looks so dull without photos. and the past few posts have been done from my phone..and the blogger app doesn't allow you to arrange photos, so it's quite messy.

my back is slowly dying.

right, i'm going to go dump some empty files into my bag now.

on the bright side, timetable's out. and it's significantly more empty :D

worrying about the montage..the due date is less than a week away and we have no photos. must talk to yawen and daryl tmr.

goodnight, sleep well.

failure to post.

the last time i opened this window i couldn't type a word. so i just left it there.

right. i have to make a photo montage for cca fair. so i'm asking for photos. because i have virtually zero photos. and i mean zero. gotta go dig and see what i can turn up..

oh. something came up which i forgot to mention.

classes are out. in 505 haha. with a lot of people. got daryl, junwei, boon chong, yawen, shree.

excellent. for once i didn't end up in the class with no one.

still kinda sad though, not being with anyone for 6 years. in primary school, i was with edwin and huzaifi for 6 years straight..

edwin the cow is supposed to be back from europe tonight..or today actually. we don't know what time. he's probably just kipping it off now trying to recover from jet lag and then wake up at 5 or something.

listening to the doctor who soundtrack now..series 6 one. quite good. i think i've just finished the songs from curse of the black spot..now it's the doctor's wife i think.

yes, the box has just knocked him over.

pay no attention to any of this. i think very few people understand this.

i think dion went to sleep. trying to hitch a ride from him for friday, heh.

don't think i'm bringing that much stuff yet. just a little bit.

just sitting here doing nothing as usual. waiting for an opportunity to use my camera..the shutter sound is bliss.

sorry, deviating.

probably gonna pack for hostel tmr, hardik says bring your own bedsheets and pillowcases and stuff, cos theirs aren't clean. i want to bring my whole bed.

i want snow.

moving to switzerland in a few years.

bye.

time displacement.

sorry, the previous post was around 4 I think. Now i'm back home in my bed..it wouldn't publish just now, 3G wouldn't upload the photos.

Anyway, spoils of the day (:

on the move.

Currently at vivo walking around, trying to get fresh air. Wish I brought my cam..

Went to nex to have lunch just now, and then took purple line to the canon centre to redeem my tripod and buy the 50mm. I couldn't figure out how to use the number taking thing but at least the woman at the counter was nice. I now feel slightly weird walking around with a tripod and a lens in my bag but no cam..

Gosh, typing this while walking is hard. Anyway, pictures!

nuts and the Scandinavian flick.

Getting a little dizzy...think it's the result of staring at screens all day. And the distorted sleep cycle.

Turns out dion's back in Singapore. Jordan (somehow it's still his birthday) suggests that we go buy stuff from daiso..anyway the plan is to go out after we've moved in right. Lee, Dion how? Maybe we should all just go on the 29th..

Anyway I can't get on the com so posting from iPhone. My dad's been at the com for basically the entire day trying to sort stuff out and get iCloud to work. And now he's trying to prevent iPhoto from crashing..

Going out tmr, since my mum has to bring my sis to cedar to buy her uniform and stuff, I'll just tag along and then go to vivo..may actually bring the cam. No, bad idea..

Shall read the manual later.
Been eating leftovers from yesterday for like all 3 meals today. We overcooked quite badly xP

Apparently there's a doctor who series 5 marathon on BBC Entertainment on New Year's day....they're insane. Eyes will be burnt after that. Suppose I'll take a luck break when we get to episode 4..

falling through the cracks yet again.

oh yes, for those of you who don't know, the outing where mr Alvin tan is supposed to treat us food has become lunch on the 31st..

sleepy.

I just realized there is a lot of junk in my CURSE YOU WHY DID YOU AUTOCORRECT MY REALISE TO REALIZE

anyway, there is a lot of crap I've been keeping, including like 5 bottles of assorted ointments and creams. And there's still a bottle of red wine on my red bookshelf.

My fingers are tired. Bye :D

there's always a way out.

and river song falls from a 50-storey building.

anyway, the reason for that title is that i just sent jordan a message congratulating him on turning 16, but he replied saying he's in phuket so he's still 15. for the moment. ahhhh that cheating png.

it is 00:25 now, by the way.

and he's making me pay m1 money, because it's sending sms to overseas.

actually wanted to go to canon centre to collect my tripod and buy the 50mm tmr, but it's a public holiday so the place is closed. cows.

and then still have to decide between 30th and 31st. someone else should make the decision, for once.

anyway, today is christmas! slacked around, woke up late for frisbee, and then went down at around 1030 heh. and then came back up and slept a bit because i slept at 3. addicted to that..the night is just so peaceful for watching shows and stuff.

and then we cooked food :D

oh no. the photos are taking horribly long to upload.

anyway, album's up on Facebook, link here.

my parents have been a little annoyed about my photo uploading heh..they say they don't want the world to see them..so i'm limiting, and only posting the glam shots heh. some shots are fine, but they complain also! haha i guess i've no choice. like brian said, no point arguing with them..anyway this isn't a very big matter.

COME ON!

it's not uploading at all..

disappointment.

sorry, looks like blogger + my internet's not cooperating. i'll edit this tmr and try to get this uploaded, sorry!

anyway we had roast beef, lamb, sausages, potatoes, pasta and fruit salad (:

and mince pies with melted ice cream haha.

everyone seems to be going overseas in this period (i've probably said this before). fiona's going tmr to korea..

i've never been there.

my mum has, though. and she loved it.

have a good trip (:

it's christmas :D

please tell me if the font is smaller. i'm posting from my mum's account (in the com) because the photos are in her com. photos of what, will be revealed later.

day out with family today, we went to buy stuff. a lot of stuff. started out at simei to pick my mum as she was at facial. then we ate subway for lunch and went tampines because 千红 wanted to go hunt down a starhub to get her iPhone 4S. unfortunately, everything was out of stock so at 3 pm, we departed for funan!

and, yes.

I'M SO HAPPY I LOVE MY DAD SO MUCH AHAHAHA.

18-135 kit. everything thrown in, including extra battery, bag, screen protector, sd card and lens hood. had to buy the lens filter though. and the new canon bag is different.

this is the inside. it's a ghastly red.

and a little difficult to use.

this is the bag of misc stuffs.

Bubble Wrap! :D

the photos are taken using my mum's phone, since i'm charging the canon battery overnight so i can't use it yet. but still, i'm freaking happy and thrilled :D

have to go to the canon centre at vivo to collect my tripod and buy the 1.8 50mm for $60. but still, brilliant day.

oh yes, i met isaac in the lift as well. amazing coincidence. and yx says that andreea went there to buy an X10 from him. you woman.

cooking dinner (which comprises of a lot of meat) tmr, you'll get photos!

right, i'm off to watch tv. apparently matt smith's on graham norton.

bye (:
