I really should be doing something more productive than this. But like I am going apeshit, therefore I should be allowed to indulge in doing pointless silly things like blog.

I am going apeshit because I got a haircut and my hair is like FREAAAAAAAKING short now. And no, I am not exaggerating, I promise. My maid says my new hair makes me look like I'm alive. Because she always complains about my long shaggy hair and how it makes me look like a homeless, sick child. My sister says I look like a squirrel (LIKE YEAH MAN THANKS. Squirrels are like fat and round-ish and look like mice). I think I look like a dog. I think I used to look like one of those fat shabby dogs who like drool around and need grooming damn badly. But now I think I look like those small little dogs who are like damn annoying and bark at anything that moves! Either that or I look like someone who enjoys prancing around and does sports during my free time. HAH. SO ME RIGHT!

But I should get over it. Because my hair is bound to grow. And it serves me right for wanting a haircut without knowing what I want. And for telling the very excited hairdresser (because he got a new pair of scissors!) that I hated my hair because it was too damn long.

Okay, rant over. I should get starting on something productive. I have like Geog homework which is due tomorrow. And some stupid Econs concept map to do): Because I failed my first ever Econs test): But it's not my fault I missed all the Econs lessons last week! (Actually no... It's not like I can stay awake during Econs lectures anyway...) But concept map will wait, because it's only due on Monday and I promise to do it during the weekend.

OH! BUT BEFORE I GO! MUST SHOW YOU VALENTINO SPRING HAUTE COUTURE. LIKE BEYOND FREAKING AWESOME.


I KNOW. GASP. I bet you had like a fashiongasm of sorts! I am in love with the dress in the 6th picture. And the 8th one. And the 10th one. AYE and everything else! The models in the red dresses in the end made me squeal a little, because it's so kickass and so Valentino. And I had to include the last picture. Because he is so cute. And I love him to bits. And I miss him so much already): I cannot believe that was the last collection he's ever doing. I become so depressed everytime I think about how Valentino pre-fall looked like. ): Eeeee, I'm depressed now that I just thought about it.

OKAY. SHUT UP ARINA. Must channel depression energy to do productive things. BYE!

If anyone is wondering, no, I haven't been feeling better. ): The doctor says my fever is probably some viral thing and I'm going to have to take a blood test tomorrow): If all is not well with blood test results, I.have.to.go.to.the.hospital. I think the idea of it all is making me sicker than I already am. ): For two main reasons...

1. I do not want to take a freaking blood test. It's enough I had a needle poke through me yesterday. I am not ready for another needle. Especially one that sucks fluid out of me instead of into me. ): And apparently extracting blood makes you gain weight. Okay so I do know gaining weight is like the most trivial thing of it all... But I was actually so close to reaching my target weight): And like it doesn't help that I've been eating six meals in the past two days... Because my medicines say "After Food"...):

2. I am not staying at the hospital. I freaking hate hospitals): They make me sick. And they are smelly and white and they have lots of scary beeping sounds. I am also not wearing the hospital dress things because they are beyond fugly.

On a much much happier note, tis the season of Spring 2008 Haute Couture shows! (: After watching a documentary (yes, DOCUMENTARY!) a few days back do I realise how freaking amazing Haute Couture is as an art. It takes so many million hours and hands of so many people to create a single outfit. The documentary also talked about the people who actually buy, own and wear Haute Couture. Am.so.jealous.of.these.women. They have this Haute Couture club thing and they meet up in Paris during the Haute Couture seasons and they actually buy the freaking outfits. A single outfit can cost up to US$100,000. Sick. But so darn fabulous. Totally one of my aims in life... To own a Haute Couture outfit. Perhaps if I start saving now... Heh. Oh and I also learnt that the outfits are actually really really light and weightless. Like cool or what! I've always imagined them to be real heavy and all... (Oh and just ask if you want the link to the video!)

So anywayyyyyy, Christian Dior was exciting the first time I looked through it... But when I looked at it again it was very reminiscent of 2007. Maybe because Galliano has such a disticnt style, it's hard for his collections not to look alike? Or maybe it's just me... Either way, it's all beautiful - the detailing, the folds, the volume and how everything drapes.
Okay, enough talking,

I feel like crap, it's actually pissing me off. As if laying in bed the whole day isn't enough):

Today the doctor gave me a jab on my ass because I broke my record temperature. It being 40.4. I've never reached that high. According to the doctor, my highest was 39.2... And of course he would know because I've been going to him since foreverrrrrrrr. The jab was so painful, I couldn't sit properly): Which is why there was nothing much to do, other than lie like a freaking vegetable thing. ): Not that I dislike vegetables, I actually quite like vegetables... To consume them that is, not to be like them.

Apparently, the jab is supposed to work wonders and my temperature shouldn't be up again... Well it did work... Until about two hours ago that is... ): And my maid filled the bathtub with ice cold water for me. And bathing was so painful):

D:

No school for me again tomorrow. But I'm quite happy, because I get to miss PE :D But am quite sad other than that. Because I am very determined to be damn mugger and not miss too many lessons):

And because the post wouldn't be complete...
Lanvin Pre-fall 2008. By far my most favourite pre-fall collection. :D

_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Maybe I'm not so alive after all... ):

I didn't feel too good from the start of the day, and even turned down a date to catch a sneak of 27 Dresses): My temperature's been fluctuating the whole of today... But I assumed it would be fine by now because I've downed about eight panadols in the whole day. But it's just as bad.

I really hope I get better by tomorrow morning. I'm going to down another 2 panadols after this post because my maid says you can have upto 10 in a day... I better get better because I have plans to crash RG tomorrow): And I was really looking forward to amusing myself watching tarian auds meeting my Pokemons D:

Gawk at me for saying this, but I don't even want to skip school tomorrow. Not that I am THAT in love with school, but more like I actually did all my homework! For the first time in as long as I can remember. I actually watched the whole stupid GP video and attempted to answer the questionsssssss, although my answers are hell. I even did Math upto the Challenging Questions... Which is probably not good enough for other's standards but DAMN GOOD for me. I mean, after all, Challenging Questions are not meant to be done by people like me!

D:

To make all of us smile a little,

Just so everyone knows... I'm still alive! :D

A lot's happened since I last blogged. Plenty of really bad days but many more fun days.

RJ's been generally good thus far. I can't say I love it all, but it's a lot better than I imagined it to be! :D Well for now at least... The class I'm in now is quite cool (oh, I got a new class if you haven't heard. Because I changed my subject combi. It isn't MEGA anymore, it's PGME. So unglamorous sounding but oh well...) and I've got lots of new friends because I've been doing quite a decent job of trying to be friendly.The biggest flaw about RJ though, has got to be that there isn't a Starbucks anywhere close): I don't get why they have TWO Coffee Beans at J8, but not a single Starbucks):

Alifah's going for her first ever school camp tomorrow! I find it really cute, but really hard to believe my sister's actually old enough to go for camps... I can't imagine her doing all the camp stuff and climbing rock walls... It's only three days long but I already know I'm going to miss her. It would be three days of noone calling me at the randomest times, telling me to come home. (Because my sister is the one who sets her own curfews for me!)

Oh! And because my blog lacks awesomeness,
It's Sasha for Prada S/S08! (There are ALOT more amazing pictures, but I am too lazy to upload them.) I remember how I disliked the s/s Prada collection the first time I saw it, but it's really starting to grow on me now. And it only helps that Sasha is totally rocking everything! YAY SASHA! :D

Okay off to attempt to finish Math Tutorial 1! I.cannot.believe.people.have.finished.the.whole.freaking.book.

I've been wanting to write a "2007 has been" post but I was lazy/didn't have the time, so I'll do it now. Except it's late and I don't feel like typing... But I know that if I don't do it now, I never will. I'll do it anyhow, but it won't be too exciting to read, so don't bother unless you really have nothing better to do.

I just spent a good hour re-reading my blog posts of 2007 and I don't know, but feels like its been a rather unexciting and uneventful 2007. ): Well it's either that or I just don't blog about stuff. Prolly the latter. It's called self-censorship because I have dirty little secrets and everyone will know what a nasty person I am if I was dead honest on my blog. Oops? And because I'm very senile and have little to help me recollect 2007, this is a very unwholesome account of 2007 but is the best I can do.

Okay so 2007's event of the year for me has got to be Singapore Fashion Festival! :D Never in another point of my life had I met so many hot people in one place. Haha I always thought I was short, but I never knew how short I was until SFF. Haha every model was AT THE VERY LEAST 20cm taller than I was! Even so, I thank God for globalisation and for creating such beautiful people. Being able to help out in SFF has made me tons of awesome friends and helped me realise the kind of work I would be happy doing when I'm old. (And no I do not want to be a model. I'm not deluded, haha. I do realise I'm too shortfatugly.)




I would loooooove to be in SFF this year too. But with school and all that, I don't know if I'd be able to): Oh and without SFF, I wouldn't have met...

my hottest guy of 2007. Haha no prizes guessing who! ;)




JOSEBA, duh. Why he's the hottest guy for me needs no explanation, obviously. He's probably the best looking person I've ever set eyes on. Like seriously. I think a part of me died when I first saw him. HAHA. I miss him so bad now. We hardly get to talk because of the stupid Spain-Singapore time difference. ): Oh but he just started a conversation with me on MSN a few days back so yay him :D

2007 was also the year Richardson was cheer champs :D Okay so I don't have much to be proud of because I think I was a rather useless cheerleader and didn't help much with the routine. But I'm proud of Shi Hui and the rest of them for being the bombz! Yay y'all!


Then there's the Malaysia trip (which I never blogged about)! Where I first lived in a kampong, first ATTEMPTED to fly a kite (but failed very miserably), first rode on a motorbike, first watched a very scary Kuda Kepang performance (I swear I still get shivers everytime I think of it and remember that guy/gay who kept picking on me), first fished for eels and first attempted to search for cockles on the beach (and found TWO in like more than an hour).



2007 was also when we had Wau! Which I feel is quite an accomplishment and something to be proud of (: Yay batchieeeeees! WE.THE.BOMB. Oh and I'm quite glad I ended up dancing too because mask dance was fun!



There's also SYF. I don't care much about SYF actually. But practices were quite enjoyable because I had my favourite Pokemons :) Who listened to me bitch and made me happy during practices. <3 src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisTZEp0gLihqEVXe21LQXDD4GfPp0li7nrJitXKy5SoIvS7DRSh8FxTlb74n96Q_sEf4ZMKkqN3Kdxr-LbztFPa5BesbnRrnlw7Knewl9J2eAY6WGCM2Q7mfPqdE9hyphenhyphenXhRJTriBV0LQPU/s320/PIC_0084.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5152063203686251762" border="2">

Oh and I had my first prom! :D Haha okay so prom itself was so unexciting. But I quite like the many days devoted to prom-shop and having to worry about everything. It's not often we get to dress up and it's alot funner to people-watch when everyone thinks they look nice (damn, I'm such a bitch). Pre and post prom was also funfun! Yay A. M.I.N.A.!

I'm quite sure everyone is sick of prom photos, because they're everywhere... Which is why here's only one.

The end of 2007 also meant farewell RG! I know I've always talked about how I fucking hated RG and how I wouldn't have picked RG if I knew how things would turn out... But well, RG really wasn't all that bad. I've made like THE greatest friends and well, learnt alot about the harsh realities of life. HAH. I thought I'd never say this, but I actually quite miss the school... Hehe. To think I walked out of the gates on the last day and was beyond elated and if it wasn't for the people around I would have yelled "fuckyou piece of crap. like so long suckerrrrrrrr" at the school because I hated it THAT much then. (Pictures from Perbayu Farewell)



ABSOLUTE FAVOURITEST PERSON IN 2007:

Haha yay my little sister! I think I got alot closer to her this year and finally realised my role as an elder sister. Although I'm not doing quite a good job at it...

OH! And there was bash! (Which I'm not supposed to blog about but I think it was quite eventful.... And didn't turn out as bad as we expected it to be! :D So here's one picture. With no explanations.)


MCR was quite exciting too! :D

Just this one picture because I'm starting to get really sleepy and I already uploaded the other pictures not tooo long ago.

Okay it's like 3.30 now and I should really be sleeping. So 2007 hasn't been too bad. A lot of happy moments, but a lot more depressing ones I think. It was a really bad academic year and a really bad year at home. But I think the year's made me mature a lot. More than any other year. So here's wishing for a much much better 2008. (The days which has passed hasn't been entirely bad. But I'll talk about them and resolutions in some other post. At a more earthly time perhaps...) A few random '07 pictures:











xx!
