Zip Bla

I have so much to blog about but assignments are already piling up so... bleah. Morning classes have taken a toll on me and now I feel sleepy at 8pm. 8pm!!! Anyway F didn't give me much time to blog (grr homework) so just a short one:

Acne zebra pants!!! So cute omg. Found these ages ago and just never got around to posting them up. I want the black ones contrast contrast contrast!! Sorry I forgot the image source. Anyway the shoes in the white pants pic are exactly what I'm looking for... You know wide peeptoe slip, then a huge black wedge covering the rest of the feet. Mmm.

Gareth Pugh. (Sorry forgot image source again) Can't wait can't wait for his show plus he's super hot. Yay!!!!!


Ok back to looking at websites that I have to rip apart and redesign. What is it about this course that includes redesigning websites?? I mean if I wanted to design websites I'll go to an IT course where the course centers on Adobe and everything right? Half the people in Mass Comm are in there because

1) They want to be an anchorperson/reporter/journalist
2) They want to write for a girly/fashion magazine
3) They think that they're so cool and Mass Comm is a cool course so they have to join.

I mean, location video?? If I want to shoot videos on locations I would join Film, Sound and Video right? But it's like NOOOOOO other courses choose their major in 2nd year we choose ours in the 3rd year, after 2 years dabbling in things we have no interest in. And half of the 3rd year we're doing internship. I know it's MASS communications and everything but everything's so diverse.

Most people's conception of MC is that's what aspiring journalists, reporters and advertising people do but the writing part is like 20%, and the rest are made of modules you're not interested in. I mean, yeah learning how to work the radio station thing is pretty cool, as well as learning dreamweaver and everything but the software gets outdated, and so does your knowledge. By the time you graduate, maybe go to uni (okay, 99.9% of my course will die if they don't go) and graduate with a degree, radio stations as well as website companies don't use the same software anymore. You no longer know how to use the new and updated tools.

And the writing component is NOT adequate at all. It's like common conception that if you go MC you most probably want to be a writer or journalist/reporter. So why is it that most of the things we learn have nothing to do with writing at all? Video shooting comes in 2 core modules, as well as radio production. Which means, after you finish one semester of dipping your finger in a pot that you're not interested in and sigh in relief/pure joy, you go into the next year to find out, Welcome To Radio/Video Production TWO!!!!! Hooray!!!!!

Am tired after my brief rant. If NP staff/board/teachers or someone related reads this I'm temporarily deranged and you shouldn't take this seriously.

Touchy feely

I see you day in day out
Yet I never seem to get enough of you
Forever and ever was just a cliche
Till our arms encircle
Our legs tangled


I can see... everything.

(lelove)

Bandung Part 1

Yeah that's right we went to Bandung! Farley has been raving about it for a long time (he went there 4, 5 years ago) and on his persuasion, our trip diverted from Taiwan to Bangkok then to Bandung!

Day 1

Us at Claud's place before leaving for the airport

I wanted to bring my Miu Miu wristlet for shopping but the girls said I would get mugged/forget/lose it so I borrowed a sling bag from Kelyn which turned out to be amazingly practical. The Agnes B keepall however, was simply NOT ENOUGH to hold what I bought back.

K's Victoria's Secret holdall. It's pretty but it has a impractical fixed shape. Which means you can't do the sit-on-luggage-and-zip thing.

Checking in

Budget airport food

There's Secret Recipe, but it's overpriced and disgusting.

Our aeroplane - really budget we had to climb a makeshift staircase to board.

I look like a movie star right?! Haha wind in hair: check. Shot in the midst of walking: check. Heh heh. Ok don't talk about my clothes I was dressed for a day of flying and transport.

Bye Singapore!

We took this shot to see how much more luggage we're coming back with. You'll see that in Part 2.

Our room

Ok K shot this while trying to figure out how to turn on the flash on my digital camera

Discussing shopping plans for the next day

There's a staircase in our suite!!!!

This is what I see every morning when I wake up. The inside of a roof (:

At first I thought I was bring stalkerish when I took photos of them from the upper level then I saw....

HAHA K did the same thing

Dunkin' Donuts we got on the way to our boutique hotel

Room service! Extorbitant as expected at 10 SGD a plate (plus we had room service like twice. Or thrice.) when standard of living in Indonesia is way low.



Day 2

I look so awful here. Direct sunlight = unflattering.

This is embarrassing but I figured it'll be a laugh. The girls laughed at it because my roots made the bun look badgerish.

Breakfast

I actually ate Koko Crunch and Mee Soto everyday. Yummy. And the fresh milk in Indo are all full-fat and it's super good. And sinful.

Bluebird taxis! They're the only company to run by meter.

How most of the houses in Bandung look - even though we saw gigantuan castles and lofts... I WANT I WANT

But what's really terrible is that you see young kids playing on the road (like, on the road itself and Bandung's traffic is dire), stuffing each other into giant plastic bags, motorists carrying three pillion passengers on a normal-sized bike, teenagers walking up to cars playing guitars, beggars knocking on windows to ask for money... It's so sad. And you can't even help any of them because they snatch your money and stuff when you open your window.

First stop: Rumah Mode (pronounced Moda)

What I spent at just the first store... MOMMY I SPENT 2 MILLION HAHA.

First day shopping crammed our rented car's boot to the brim.

What the girls were so excited about Indonesia (I only like their root beers)

Haha imitation KFC

We caught Mango's s/s show with a hot host.

Bought lots of drinks and stuff from the supermarket

Day 3

Kim's jaguar eyes

KFC has spaghetti and wafflecakes!

2 days worth of shopping

This is one of the rare times you get to see me in specs (partially... but still)

Part 2 coming soon (:
