For the beauty in life that surrounds us,

Simple pleasures in life, like the smiles gathered on a Friday night with the newly formed PRU family ♥ Indulging in the decadence of 小笼包 (Shanghai soup dumplings), laughter and great company for the start of the new office term! So grateful that I managed to loan the DSLR from NUPS to capture these memories forged.

Mingyi's tactical strategy for maximizing buffets (...which unfortunately minimizes pleasure in my opinion!), with XLB basket towers and jokes around the table. So glad the whole committee got to gel together pretty fast - with such vibrant personalities, the year ahead promises to be full of mirth ☀

P.S. Probably won't be able to stomach another XLB for the next thirty days Crystal Jade la mian xiao long bao 241/241A Holland Avenue Holland Village Singapore (Average about $25/pax but differs from timing to timing)

All in (almost) a week's worth,

To do list
1. Develop film roll
2. Search for Black forest cake recipes by mid week
3. Collect DSLR on loan
4. Clear wardrobe
5. Read up on Statistics so I can actually serve up constructive contributions during laboratory sessions
6. Clear backlog (easier said than done)
7. Exercise (This thing will probably perpetually remain on this list)

Recess week is beckoning, such a breather really!

Apple π of my eye,

Sudden creative urge to break free from the clinical feel of my Mac one evening, with some pretty leftover flower prints + white tape, who said decals had to be unaffordable?

Still nursing my cold after spending the past few days fused to the bed, flu medicine from the doctor working it's charm and I'm extremely grateful for that! And thanks for all the get-well-soon wishes, so much love ♥ Despite that, I'm currently still grappling to unbury myself from the mountain of backlog I've accumulated in the past few weeks I daresay (Look at the mess on my desk). Nonetheless I assure you that I'm okay and shall scuttle off to my tissue pile and pill box, both of which have been loyal companions for the past 48 hours. Along with hot green tea, of course.

I need lifelines instead,

Being swamped with a mess of deadlines (as you can see for yourself)

I love how I'm constantly obsessed with GIF Ninja because it's oddly calming to piece pictures together and see them magically flow from static images to coming alive. Ironically, I cannot resist denying the pun understated. Here's some love to those starting the new semester as well, and for the new MC elected up last night ♥

Life right on track,

A perfect summer day at the railway tracks before they closed off for revamp.

Here's some sneaks from the roll of film, plus a puffed-up looking me attempting to be demure.

Life has been pretty much on track, I reckon. With summer projects and memories left behind, school has started rather lazily. (Apart from the full blast recruitment drive and interviews) And not to forget certain misunderstandings that have been incurred - words may be little but they are sure lethal. I never did buy a ticket for this unspoken edginess. So may I sincerely invite you to board off this train at the next station because it's heading nowhere, and we don't want to see you crash and burn. I can't keep holding on if you keep pushing me down to the tracks. I'm not sure about your train of thoughts, but if you insist on fighting against the train conductor, don't drag your friends along if you still consider them your friends, please.

If we can't be ourselves, we need no mirrors,

Favourite pictures out of the lot (because I obviously couldn't choose just a few), meeting them again this Saturday - here's to more nostalgic laughing abs and friends who never change from way back ♥

Tumblr's ask feature here is quite interesting, I won't answer too personal questions though :}

We are young, we run free,

Time you enjoy wasting isn't time wasted but time well spent, cliche but true. Spent the summer delving into Student union projects, but had some spare time for some plain doodles here and there (I desperately seek Summer'12 already)

Hopefully foreign exchange plans for next Summer materializes, I really can't wait ♥ I'll finally be able to translate these paper dreams into documented film and first hand experiences, which is something I've been yearning to do ☺ (Yet another major thing to add to the bucket list teehee)

Brand new semester starts tomorrow, and the December holiday waits earnestly for is completion.

Wild, wild dreams, but what can you say - we are young, we run free.

We travel to get lost, but in return we find ourselves.

From strides to tides,

Yearning for the day I can finally fling myself unto my bed, hair pulled back in a messy ponytail and in a larger than life T-shirt. Guilt-free sleep without the alarm interrupting the beauty sleep, and waking up to glorious cheese crackers and strawberries still half-asleep in the crisp morning. Throw in some cushions and magazines, belly down on the couch with the world at my fingertips on my Mac. Then I'll pull myself up to sit by the window beam, rule the world with my film camera before rolling back lazily down to my bed.

Typed this a week back, even though now that School has started, but I'm proud to say that today is the day haha. (I really want summer back) On a side note, I've finally comprehend the essence of 一波未平，一波又起

Talk of summertime,

While this cosy spot continues to hold my dreams and thoughts, I've created a tumblr a few months back dedicated to my reveries (as a sideline because I couldn't resist) Land of the wanderlust here ♥
