I love polyvore!

You see all the sets I've posted recently? I created it all from polyvore.com. Man, I can't say how much I love this website <3

Flo's post inspired me to write this entry. In her post today, she talked about her best friends; and for a while, I felt a pang of remorse and bitterness. There are not without reasons, of course. Four of us, we used to be inseparable. Almost everyday we got to see each other, and together, laughter is something that is always heard, happiness is always felt. Yes, there are petty feuds once in a while because there is a distinct difference between us character-wise, but we stuck together. Over the years, we made through the hard and easy times as a team. We shared priceless memories. We study. We play. We celebrate.



Things went weird this year. Thinking back, it really is quite ironic. Initially, I thought our friendship was going to turn distant for sure as I was gonna continue my studies in Singapore. It didn't happen though; so I end up in Taylor's with the three of them. However, that didn't mean everything would remain just the same as you left it. Things changed. We see more of each other's flaws than strength now. Between us, there was discontentment. I don't know who's at fault for not trying hard enough to save our broken friendship, but I admit I am part of the fault. I didn't hold on to it more tightly, and I sometimes feel sorry for that. I'm not saying me and my three good friends fell apart totally. It didn't. We still talk. Only, not as often; and that's wild because we only live one floor apart.



Maybe I just didn't know how to organize my time. I didn't know who to spend more time with. There were so many people around. For some complicated reasons, I sacrificed them. I chose my boyf, my twin and my childhood friend. Absolutely no regrets for choosing the latter, but I regret letting the three good friends go too. I don't know why I did what I did but I didn't think much at that time. I was naive and certain nothing could come between us. I was wrong. Something did come between us. Distance. With each passing day, we drifted further and further apart. I know no one likes to admit it, but I was sure there was some bad-mouthing going on in between. Mocks. Scorns. Negative remarks. Hurt.



The hurt. It's like a wildfire. It may never stop, but we put behind these things when we're really faced-to-faced with each other. Despite us falling apart, we can never be...not friends. There is too much in us. We had too much memories together. Too many reminders from the past- happy ones. On passing each other on the corridor, we still greet each other, we still ask how's each other's day. Sometimes, I go to their rooms, trying to have a light chat, trying to crumble the barrier between us. I have tried, but I think I'm may be too late.



We might never be the best friends we once were, but I like to believe we won't fall apart till the extent of totally ignoring each other either. I believe we won't. I will never let the boyf, the twin and the childhood friend go because they mean the world to me, but do know you guys are significant in my life too. I miss you three sometimes.



ps: you know who you are.

xx, I can't wait any longer ;*

Me want all this

Simple things that touches the heart

Remember this?

I was browsing through my phone's photo gallery when I saw this. This was sketched and taken by none other than Lim Huan Yi! She drew this in class I remember she said. and I think she did it just for me, heh heh, seeing how my blog title reads: Long Live, UNICORNS!

(yesh, I have a strange attraction to beautiful mystical creatures). Anyway, she sent it to me via MMS when I was sick as a  dog that day. So sweet! Although there was no "Get well" note whatsoever (ahem!), but it's the heart that counts and I couldn't have "cured" faster, mood-wise.

Thank you so much for the drawing <3

PS: I hope I don't sound like I'm in love with her or sth. ;) I'm just really grateful  ;D

Experience as a Student Helper

Photo from Tumblr.com

Today, I earned my first salary.


Except, I don't have the money just yet, bummer 'bout that. Sorely disappointed and dejected, yes. I mean I was all up and bouncing, showing off to whoever that would listen about how excited I was about getting paid before I went to the job the next day! Ah, all the things I would buy! You could say I was quite giddy with happiness- just thinking a bout the things I would get for the boyf, family and obviously, myself too!  Then we were told, money will come in 3-4 weeks. Damn it, all high spirits dashed in a second.


Apart from the money issue, becoming the Student Helper in Taylor's College was a good experience. I met with new people and many of them are quite interesting. There was not many new students for June intake (most people prefer Jan intake), and we weren't quite busy as we expected ourselves to be. I'm not sure which I preferred more- to be busy or not. To be busy means you woudn't even have time for a toilet break.To be "not busy" would mean sitting down, practically doing n-o-t-h-i-n-g. On the first day, we get to stare into the space. Yippee. Not. Luckily I bought a book, or I would really make the headlines : GIRL DIES, BOREDOM-OVERDOSE. On the second day, I was smarter. I armed myself with a laptop!


Now, I don't want any of you thinking I'm a slacker. I do my job. I was stationed at the "1-STOP CENTER" where new students come in and get their photos shot, student ID taken, Welcome Pack carried home. We had to brief them about the how-about of the Student Portals. Luckily I didn't meet anyone who turned down my briefing because that would be really embarrassing won't it- what with a tad sarcastic but generally helpful seniors on your side. Namely, Crystal (ahem, not Tong) and WanYu .Lol. The staff members I quite like was Miss Jenny,and...weirdly, Mr. Gregory ( ocking at times, but a lot funny at others) :)


Not trying to sound cheapskate here, but I got a lot of free stuff! Taylor's couldn't be more generous. I got two new T-shirts which look pretty cool to me *defensive*, many pens, notepads, chips, drinks, fooooooddddd.... Okay, I do sound exceedingly cheapskate now, but forgive me, I'm just a college student. What do ya' expect? Reject free stuff? Functionally GOOD stuff too. No way. Kept them allllllll yayyyy Muaaaaahhhaahhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaa eff la. I'm damn cheapskate! GAH :(



In between my breaks, I got a chance to take the Personality Test as well. 180 questions, can you believe it! But nah, don't worry, it's a breeze. You might not even take more than 10 minutes to answer them. Its all the YES/NO/UNSURE options that you could choose from. Easy. Fellow Student Helpers helped me print my results and this is it:

My results:
O*NET INTEREST PROFILER SCORE SUMMARY

REALISTIC--1 (like, really, wtf?)
INVESTIGATIVE--11
ARTISTIC--21
SOCIAL--17
ENTERPRISING--10
CONVENTIONAL--6

Needless to say, I left The Web pretty miffed >:/
Nah just kidding.  Hoho. I don't think the results helped me much, but oh well who caarrees! :D


Anyway, despite whatever complains that I may have had, I'm glad I took up the job. I wouldn't miss a chance to participate in any other events organized by TCSJ. I got to know so much from my experience :)
Nice to see you all crazy nicey people (especially those from CPU- you guys are da bomb. HEH ;) )


Love,
♛

Just because;

yours truly.
