(ir)resistable

just got my long awaited parcel in the mail!!!
The type of shoes i've ALWAYS ALWAYS wanted to own!












THOSE HEELS LOOK LIKE THEY COULD KILL SOMEONE(:
yepp, i am absolutely IN LOVE with them. although because they were a 'sales' item, i had to get one size smaller than i usually wear.
I wear a size 36 but i bought a size 35 cos the only other available size was a 37 and when i measured my foot, i thought i'd NEVER be able to walk around in a size 37 pair of shoes!

so these shoes do pinch my toes a little, but not much. I feel absolutely powerful wearing them! Like i'd be a whole. head. taller.
The price of fashion is pain. But i suppose it's worth it, if these shoes could help me learn how to maintain my composure in heels(:
i got them from http://theshoplifters.livejournal.com/
which is a pretty awesome place considering they stock my favourite kind of shoes(:

and yes i know my ribbon wasn't tied on very nicely, but i was just so excited to prance around in the shoes that i just hurriedly tied my ribbon without bothering to do it the right way:P




secondly, COME AND WATCH TH PRODUCTIONS!
It's on the TWENTY-FIRST of JANUARY at SEVEN-THIRTY PM, at UCC. it's called: "the day after"
go book your tickets at th.thedayafter@gmail.com!
like NOW! hhahaa


now excuse me while i go prance around in my beautiful shoes:D

remade

Just finished writing the lyrics for a song, and suddenly I feel inspiration flooding back to me!
gone gone gone is my writer's block!
At least, thats what i hope. Cos the song was an emo song.
And i think thats the easiest kind of song to write!
Since it's so sad and with so much emotion...
unfortunately, I don't think I can post the lyrics of the song here
cos it's for a play FOR TH PRODUCTIONS next year. I shall post it after the play.

yes yes, even though i'm sure not many people read my verbal diarrhoea
I CAN STILL USE THIS TO PROMOTE OUR PLAY NEXT YEAR(:
It's at UCC erm. on the. wait I know this...I think it's the 21st of JANUARY 2011! it's a friday
so if you read this, please keep the date free:D
erm. if it didn't remember the date wrongly!


I'm quite proud of myself. In the sense of accomplishment, not arrogance.
I think i've rediscovered my knack for writing
and instead of churning out drudgery
I think it's become pretty enjoyable to move with the flow of words!
unfortunately. I don't think that's gonna be of any use for EL1101e-.-


I can't believe this sem is ending soon. And the ending of the sem reminds me of exams
Why does time past SO SO SO FAST IN UNI???
and i think we run on a different clock:(



-----------------------------------------------------------
just returned from an awesome music making session with joy(:
as in, LITERALLY music making. you know, making music from scratch?
anyway, the song has a life of it's own...probably injected in by joy:D
cos it's flowing better than I expected it would.
it's like my little baby! HAHA
but then again, I've never had a baby before so, that wasn't exactly a good metaphor(:
BUT. i'm inspired.
if only i could be inspired to read the chunk of readings on my table as well:(
sigh. back to staring at the pile.

all the world's a stage

So i'm back in my room nursing a pretty much 'gone' throat:(
I am a bad girl; I over-sang
my throat feels like something is stuck in the middle of it
and when I talk I feel pretty much disgusted with the way I sound
NOT, that i'm actually talking, since i'm actually alone in my room...

I feel a bit cheated by cultural activities night
2 girls i know came up to me and were like
"Whats going on tonight?!"
AFTER THE ENTIRE SHOW WAS OVERR
and i was like, well, to tell you the truth, nothing, since the program has already ended?!

But. limited publicity and awful sound system and even more awful venue notwithstanding
it felt truly awesome to be standing on stage again.
it felt like i had come home
truly THE most amazing feeling i get is when I stand on stage
because memories of all the different times
I've ever ever been on stage will flood in without my permission
from the time in primary2 when I went on stage to do a CHINESE recitation
with yellow umbrellas and small toy drums
[for all of you who think i can't speak chinese: we actually won first place for our category:P]

to singing in the cold and freezing ourselves in Italy.
I guess the stage is a nostalgic place for me
quite strange I think.
That a raised platform: ANY raised platform
would bring back such memories for me
but they're not all pleasant.
like the time in primary 5 when I rep my school for a speak good english storytelling competition
and was forced by my teacher to tell an AESOP FABLE
which have got to be the most difficult stories to tell
because one it's a moral story and two it's an ancient story!
so anyway
being the most ingenious person i am, i decided to pick the L O N G E S T story out of the book
i think there were two main characters
which was a fox
and some other domestic fowl
i think it was a chicken, but I can't be too sure
I don't trust my memory; why on earth would a fox be talking to a chicken??
but anyway.
it was two animals, probably a fox and a chicken
and somehow I kept tripping up over the entire story
and kept replacing fox for chicken and viceversa

till this day i have no idea why i did that
because i was not in the least bit nervous
although i think my storytelling skills were really disastrous
I was like saying matter of factly
very point by point kind of storytelling
which nobody told me not to do
[but ignorance is never an excuse is it?]
and i saw people cringing
and i was wondering "why are they looking at me like that, i'm having a lot of fun!"
goes to show what the 11 year old me thought of as fun-.-
so anyway, i learnt my lesson
never tell stories with 2 animals
that never seem to end
or better yet
never tell stories ever again


anyway, singing with the THacapella was awesome
cos we were finally, finally in tune! or at least we sounded like we matched lah
even though i was singing like mad
and the 2 sops were fighting to sound as loud as the 5 altos
honestly amazed that there are more altos than sops cos thats never ever happened before

and then i think continuous 'practice' of blasting that last 'A' high note
has finally taken a toll on my voice:(
but i guess it was worth it cos it sounded quite good, if i do say so myself:P

then i rushed like mad, cos i was supposed to sing with charmaine
and we hadn't really practiced
but fortunately taylor swift's teardrops on my guitar wasn't too difficult
well, compared to the first song we wanted to sing
HAHA
cos i could never ever come in right for that first song
i do think the end performance was disastrous
no thanks to the mikes which made me feel really really self conscious and nervous
cos basically you hear your own echo like a second after you've sung it
AND WHILE YOU'RE SINGING THE NEXT WORD
so basically my ears were listening to two songs being sung like split seconds after each other


i'm real tired. gonna knock of for the night
performing takes up energy!

restart::

it's been awful and disastrous:(
just sat staring at my computer screen for 3 hours and all that had appeared were 126 words
methinks this is a bad case of writer's block...
...and not that i'm not cut out to write history research assignment..
so, as a solution (not magical, i don't think) to solve this infuriating problem

i decided to restart my blog!
you kn
ow, to write...
and more importantly, to rediscover my love for writing
for why on earth i love words so much...
...to find the writer in me, wherever it's gone hiding to!
hopefully i won't start writing about too mundane stuff(:

just got a shock when there was a knock at the door
i opened it, to find a middle-aged woman and a little girl
both of whom,
well,
let's just say they don't belong to the demographic of people whom you would find
knocking on Hall doors at ten pm at night!
turns out shes the resident
fellow of my block
and shes rather nice!
well, thats my rather biased opinion
but i've been bought over by
her friendly smile
and more importantly
THE SUBWAY COOKIE SHE TURNED UP AT MY DOOR WITH:D








my broken subway cookie:D

how did she know i was in need of a motivation REPLENISH??!!
it's WHITE MACADAMIA NUT
yay, now i can sleep happy



eunice's word craze is currently: the prefix RE (:
