Contradictions

- between a girl and her food.

"I should lose some weight before my grad ball and get ready for summer!"

says the girl who is currently munching on half a packet of m&ms and a couple of cinnamon and raisin bagels...after a dinner of chocolate muffins and instant noodles.

Perhaps I'll poop them all out tomorrow and it'll be all okay.

Tribute to my childhood

Why have I never heard of this song? How is it that I looked past a piece by Westlife!


It's so lovely...
Technically, it's 1/4 Westlife as it's a solo by Shane Filan, but still lovely.
I also came across a video of their farewell...'concert/documentary', I suppose.




Listening (and screeching along) to old Westlife songs really brought back memories of my teenage years, and AMAZEMENT as to how I memorised the lyrics for the first 4 albums! They taught me the beauty of love and heartache, well, their song writers did. They gave me the words to compose my most beautiful daydreams (which saved me from boredom in school).


They were the best boy band a girl could admire. Grounded and dedicated to their career, with no fancy make up, no crazy wardrobes and no bad publicity (hats off to their top notch publicist). They grew up along with their songs and they retire for the right reasons - their family. But most of all, they have that soul-melting, heart-stealing Irish accent. <3

A tad sad I'd never see them in concert. Ever =(

Testosterone overload

So I just watch the Avengers Assemble.

It was beautiful! Yes, beautiful...Not only did the directors satisfied the need of men for violence and sexy women, they've thoughtfully satisfied the ladies with mouth-watering hunks!

Lemme tell ya, it's just so faith restoring knowing there are still testosterone clad, perfectly formed male species in the wild. 

Oh, if I could just get a piece of Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth, or either one, I'm not picky.

Mm Mm Mmmmm! Gorgeous...

You! Yes, you down there...

Wipe of that make up and grow a pair...or a beard at the very least.

Even the sun sets in paradise

This song is great.



Originally by Maroon 5, but I honestly prefer Jason's cleaner and un-autotuned version. The beats in the original are cooler though.


Anyway, Jason and a whole bunch of other youtube stars are having a concert in SINGAPORE in May. Sort of wish I could go, but eh....

AES - Acute Exam Syndrome

It's exam season, hence the acute and frequent hurling of blog posts. Other symptoms include the obsessive compulsion to clean, cravings for gummy candies and constant drowsiness.

This song, I found during one of my procrastination episodes (hallmark of the AES) and I love it (the French version more than the English).

Quelle heure est-il où tu es? (What time is it where you are)

Un autre avion et tu repars (Another plane and you'll leave again)
Je me sens si loin si tu savais (I feel so far away, if you only knew)
J'attends ton retour encore (I'm still waiting for you to come back)
C'est comme si on vivait à l'envers (It's like we're lliving the other way around)
J'aimerais te dire qu'on pourra si faire (I'd like to tell you we could live this way)
But trying to figure the time zone's makin' me crazy

You say good morning when it's midnight
Going out of my head alone in this bed
Quand je m'endors tu te reveilles (When I fall asleep, you wake up)
Et je compte les heures j'en perds le sommeil (And I count the hours, it's making me lose my sleep)
and my heart heart heart is so jet lagged
heart heart heart is so jet lagged
heart heart heart is so jet lagged
so jet lagged

Je te cherche quand tu n'es pas là (I search you when you're not there)
Dans une semaine je reviendrai (I'll be back in a week)
Je perds mon souffle quand tu t'en vas (I lose my breath when you go away)
Je m'imagine à tes côtés (I imagine you by my side)
Même si j'essaie de l'ignorer (Even when I try to ignore it)
Tu es toujours là dans mes pensées (You're always in my thoughts)
Trying to figure out the time zone's makin' me crazy

You say good morning when it's midnight
Going out of my head alone in this bed
Quand je m'endors tu te reveilles (When I fall asleep, you wake up)
Et je compte les heures j'en perds le sommeil (And I count the hours, it's making me lose my sleep)
and my heart heart heart is so jet lagged
heart heart heart is so jet lagged
heart heart heart is so jet lagged
So jet lagged

Je suis perdu sans toi (I'm lost without you)
je t'attends encore (I'm still waiting for you)
Je suis perdu sans toi (I'm lost without you)
Mais rentre il est tard (Come back, it's getting late)
Je suis perdu sans toi (I'm lost without you)
Et je veux vivre ton aurore (I want to live your sunrise)
Je suis perdu sans toi (I'm lost without you)
Et qu'on s'en sorte plus fort (And we'll get out of this stronger)
And turn the hour hand back to when you were holding me

Sweet, sweet thoughts

I was talking to a friend today, and she was sad about having to leave the UK after graduation.

She'll be leaving behind the closest friends she had in 4 years and her boyfriend, knowing their lives probably will never cross again.

"How do you do it?" she asked. "It's so hard, and sometimes I really feel like giving up." We were talking about long distance relationships.

This was what I told her.

"It just never crossed my mind. It is NOT an option. It's like having an argument with your parents and getting really mad at them. You can't just break it off with them because even after a fight, they're still gonna be your parents. xxxx is family. No matter how hard it gets, it's not possible to just break it off."

That is how I see it anyway.

Even when I am seriously pissed at him and wish with every fibre of my body to hurt him, I know that I still love him...despite all the hate and pleasant thoughts of physically removing his leg hairs with tweezers so he'll feel constant, torturous pain (I didn't tell her that, obviously).

On a COMPLETELY different note, I'm studying at UCL! I still can't get my head around it. The impact of it finally hit me when I used my VALID UCL card to enter the Science Library, and LOGGED IN into a UCL computer!

I'm not saying that The School of Pharmacy, UoL was utter crap before the merge, but it was never ranked due to its independent nature. I love ol' LSOP, I really do.What's more,

THIS (LSOP crest)

is so much cooler than

THIS (UCL logo)

Putting that aside, I'm in the top 10 university in the UK and the top 20 in the world! WOW. It was my dream to study in a top ranking university, as a medic, but that failed. But why not as a Pharmacist, ei! The Lord is indeed great and His plans for me are glorious! Praise Him, we must! XD

The Hunger Games

is a deliciously addicting series of novels to read!

As thrilling as Malorie Blackman's Noughts and Crosses series, centred around political oppression and the hunger for justice.

An easy read but beautifully scripted which moves me to tears at some parts and sends adrenaline coursing through my veins at others.

Sigh....the awkward moment when you're done reading a really good book and realise your life is over.

And no, I have not watched the movie yet.
