Same ol' same ol'

Celebratory post because the first week of school is over!!! -throws confetti- -raises pompoms- -pops champagne-

But of course, the worst is yet to come and I've to keep my head up while mentally reminding myself that there is still 12 weeks left till I'm done with the semester.

Nothing really happened during the week though.

Although most of my lectures already began, it wasn't as demanding as it will be in the coming weeks. I had a taste of what 3 of my modules are going to be like and if it continues this way, I'll be more than just contented.

Still, docu-writing classes only begin next week. Looking through the syllabus, I know for sure it's gonna be one hell of a module. Weekly discussions, in-class assignments, final project; I cannot say with confidence this module will be a smooth ride. All I'm hoping for the best.

Tutorials for my Korean language class also begins next week. Hooray because I'll be starting on level 3, which would mean I'm halfway through the available levels thus far. Repeatedly told myself I must redeem myself this semester because I did below expectation for Korean level 2 last semester.

Anyway, because there is nothing much to talk about (and I've already aired my frustrations about the whole panelist thing), I will no proceed to share my outfits for the last 3 days.

Tuesday:


Minimalistic outfit to welcome the new semester because, well, there's nothing worth celebrating about having to endure 13 weeks of school again. Here I am clad in my Bold Me Out top from shopelr and my new shorts from G2000. Finished the look with my new kicks from Charles & Keith, also mentioned a couple of posts back. Couldn't risk going out looking so monotone so I carried my trusty Cath Kidston backpack to add colours to my outfit.

Wednesday:


Full black outfit for the first time in... months? Even though I told myself less black, more colours, I was pretty excited to finally throw on my tiger-face-uneven-hem dress from H&M. I bought this when I was in UK last June/July but never really got to wear it often because I packed away most of my black clothes but I love how lightweight it is. By the way, in case you can't notice, I am wearing a bodycon dress inside because the throw-on is somewhat sheer. Same shoes, only that I carried my sister's MANGO TOUCH bag.

Thursday:


Pulled out one of my favourite dresses to date (from HVV) in preparation for a 3-hour lecture that ended in 2. Anyway, I simply love this dress because it accentuates my curves. Same bag from yesterday, only that I put on my Skyscape today instead. Today will also mark the last day I'm privileged to carry a small bag to school but I will be thankful at every future chance I get.

I sure hope I won't be wearing black 4 days a week for the next 12 weeks although I do think I have enough black clothes to last me through but I won't. My only goal is to enjoy looking presentable/decent while clad in comfy clothes. (Won't be too difficult since most of my clothes are comfy anyway.)

Am very tempted to cart a pair of bottoms from Ohsofickle at the moment. Have been eyeing it since 2 days ago but... I'm still waiting to purchase my Korean textbook.

Anyway, it has dawned on me that the guys from my JC batch will mostly begin school this week. I've seen a couple of familiar faces already and the chances of walking into someone I don't want to walk into are beginning to feel surreal. Like, I don't know what to expect?

I'm over-thinking again, aren't I?

Oh well, I guess I'll see this space again... next week?

Till then!

I remember

It's Sunday night all over again. I can hear slight drizzle against the window panes and I'm watching the lights on the other building go out. People must be heading to bed and I wonder: Do they dread waking up to Monday? Do they hate Monday? Do their bodies feel unusually heavy on Monday mornings? Do they drag their feet into office? It was a surprisingly tough day today. But it reminded me of the conversations I had with Ains. " You're really too nice. That's why people always bully you, " she said. I knew this for a long time but I was thinking of the best way to construe my personality without sounding like a pushover because I'm not. I simply developed a sizable threshold for bullshit over the years. I suppose it is my way of maintaining zen and a passive way to show I'm backing down because I believe there's no reason putting up a fight against anyone who has decided not to give me a real chance even before the argument began. To some, when I...

You learn to live with your crazy

I'm crazy, just slightly  crazy. I'm crazy but maybe I'm not crazy after all? I say the most bizarre things. I walk around with messy hair. I dress down on Mondays and dress up on Fridays. I talk shit with and to my friends. I stuff my face into Shelty’s belly every night. I have a weird obsession with stickers and clouds.  I love walking around bare-footed. I love wearing my pyjamas. I love long walks, especially the ones that could last for hours. I love rolling in bed on Saturday nights while every one else is out.  I’m strange like that. Which makes me feel like a misfit in this society that’s all about fitting in. I don’t depend on technology even though I use an iPhone 6: I keep a handwritten diary, I write letters, I record my daily expenditure, I take notes with a pen and paper, I print my readings if possible, I use highlighters and liquid paper, and the list could go on. Yet I depend on technology at the same time: I scroll through Instagram every mo...

2021

Hello, 2022. Traditionally, this post would have been published on the last day of the year (as a reflection of some sorts) or the first day of the new year (to set out some new goals). But I had spent the last 2 days surrounded by good people and would not have it any other day. But here we are – second day into the new year and back to work when Monday comes around again. Sometimes, it feels like a lot has changed yet nothing has really changed at all.  All things considered, 2021 was not the best year but it was a good year. I felt like I had truly stepped into the world of adulting. This came in the form of looking after my family, including doggo, navigating the corporate world, and getting my act together for the most part. Summing up 2021:  Full-time adult, part-time child There is so much subliminal messaging out there that tells us we have to be at a certain point in our life by the time we reach a certain age. And growing up in a society constantly reminded me I...
