The Sea Cucumber is so fricken cool.

The sea cucumber can literally take on different body states – from hard to liquid – in order to defend itself. From wikipedia: “Like other echinoderms the cuke has a type of collagen in its skin capable of excreting or absorbing more water effectively changing from a ‘liquid’ to a ’solid.’ They can turn their bodies into mush, climb through small cracks and then solidify into small lumps so that they cannot be extracted.” Even more amazing than effectively scattering yourself into pieces of your collective whole and then reassembling: the ability to turn yourself inside out so that your digestive tract’s toxic juices poison your enemies. Yeah, the sea cucumber can do that, too. Do not mess.

I wish I could remember that first day,
First hour, first moment of your meeting me,
If bright or dim the season, it might be
Summer or Winter for aught that I can say;
So unrecorded did it slip away,
So blind was I to see and to foresee,
So dull to mark the budding of my tree
That would not blossom yet for many a May.
If only I could recollect it, such
A day of days! I let it come and go
As traceless as a thaw of bygone snow;
It seemed to mean so little, meant so much;
If only now I could recall that touch,
First touch of hand in hand - Did one but know!

Gestation period over =D

Yessssssss A Level Art Coursework is over! Didn't feel the excitement at 6pm (submission deadline for today) cos I was exhausted to the point that I was devoid of nearly any type of emotion. We were all so tired, nearly passing out in the gallery 10 minutes before 6. It'll probably hit me tomorrow when, quote Steph, we realize that we ACTUALLY have breaks! =D Not particularly happy about my art piece, feel like there's so much more I could've done. But whatever, what's done is done and I shall try not to dwell on the past any further (:.

It seems as if time stopped the past few days. Anything not art-related that happened over the last few days, I wouldn't know. Time to catch up with class/college apps/homework/studies and I actually can't wait!!! Feeling very far behind in everything right now.

I know some of the art people are really sad that art's over cos it's kinda like a place of belonging. Everyone is definitely bonded, albeit not necessarily close. I can safely say I haven't heard anyone in art bitch about each other before. Maybe I'm just unaware when it happened but clearly it's not something that occurred on a regular basis and certainly isn't prominent. Everyone's always there for everyone too, be it times of panic/stress/celebration. Oh well guysss fret not, there's still SOVA! =p

K so tired.

It's been so long since I last updated. I really should make a conscious effort to update more. Anyway, been busy with school as usual. There's really nothing else going on in my life except school. I miss bebeding cos I need to talk to her and rant. Am supposed to go to LA to visit in December but I think I can't anymore, cos of family trip. Oh well..

Many things going on now actually, all skewed towards the academics. Prelim results are back and bleh is all I can say. Then there're college apps which I am constantly stressing about :(. So hard. 51 days to go before A's begin, and then another 70+ days before it's all over? Can't wait. Dieting is a huge problem as well ahhh.

I really need to shed this certain side of me and leave it all behind. Focus.

This post is seemingly ironic. And probably would not appeal to the masses.

MICHAEL JACKSON IS GONE :( Watched the memorial. Was so sad when Paris made the speech! Jackson is truly a legend.

SAT Lit is so hard. I wanna die just looking at it. I'm gonna do so badly, I need tonnes of practice... Howwwwwww to find the time. + Econs + Art + Math + School Lit.

And I need self control.. To not go out. Am severely lacking. Self control also to eat less. SEVERELY LACKING.

Ok I just felt like updating. Back to work.

P.s. TYPING MANIAC! GO. PLAY.

This space has been extremely neglected.

M.I.L.K. Run with Allie tmr! We might not be able to run cos we didn't pick up our packs or wtv before hand haha but we'll try anyway.

I miss the days when we were all so carefree. Everything was so easy, so mindless. It may not have seemed that way there and then, but compared to now, life really was a lot simpler. I made my life complicated and here I regret. I'd turn the clock back if I could but I can't and today, I will stop looking back.

Optimism :)

And now, I leave y'all with some food.

Cold Angel Hair Pasta from Gunther's.

Some.. tomato thing.

Special mushroom dish. Yummeh.

OUR FEAST =)

I cannot.. believe.. MJ died.
Was going to book tickets to see his show next Jan. He was going to be a part of my post-A level plans! But that's not even the issue. I don't care. I wish I'd bought the tickets and received them, to keep them.
