  1. This song is enchanting, pure acoustic perfection. Marina is simply gorgeous.

  2. It’s funny how you can cram-exercise in the same way you can cram-study. When I did round the bays it was a really easy 8.4km run, and after the race I ate an ice cream and then I didn’t do anything for a month. I just ate, slept and sat at my computer. And then when I tried to run again today I was practically dying after 2km.  

    It seems so strange to suddenly stop doing something which you’ve been doing so intensively it has become part of your daily routine. But actually it’s quite a normal, for example, like how people keep taking subjects like Chemistry and Accounting even though they really hate them.

  3. As I scale these greater heights, I start to shiver because it’s so cold up here.

  4. Oh, that’s right I have a blog! I haven’t been on tumblr for so long that I forgot my password, which is weird because I used to log onto tumblr like every day. I should really start catching up on studying tonight because I really don’t want to get a low grade like a C. I would feel like such a loser if I did.

    Lately I’ve been thinking about changing my accent a little. Well not changing it, more like fine tuning my accent like turning a volume knob, which has ‘Asian’ on one end and ‘New Zealand’ on the other end. I’m starting to get picky about the mixing ratio of  ’Asian’ and ‘New Zealand’ in my accent. I usually like to match my accent to the people around me because I think conversations sound nicer when everyone is speaking in the same way. I’m trying to find my ‘default’ accent, one which makes me feel most comfortable and one which I can use consistently. It’s really hard for me to speak in one ‘pure’ accent, because I think it makes me sound really really weird and it makes me feel like I’m not me. (..what do I even mean by a ‘pure’ accent? I have no idea what the heck I’m talking about sometimes..)

    I think I shall start trying out new accents until I find one that I like.

    Also, check out my newest song obsession above. It’s quite calming.

  6. HAHAHA oh god this is so true. This was everyone’s biggest problem in Intermediate. I remember everyone being jealous of this one Asian girl because her mum let her shave her legs and none of the other Asians were allowed to and had to keep convincing their parents that their legs have always been completely hairless. I lied to my mum for ages and told her that the waxing strips I use wash off with water instead of ripping the hair off my skin because she didn’t like the thought of me hurting myself by waxing. Sorry if this grosses you out.

  7. My first LAN party!

    The other day I had my first official LAN party with me, my brother and two of my friends!

    We played Age of Empires 2 (which might I add is one of the greatest games of all time)  and it was so AWESOME teaming up with a live person sitting next to you in REAL LIFE and being able to shout war strategies from across the table and being able to cause physical impairment to each other’s game play and sharing chips and fizzy drinks with friends (yes, we had proper lan party food).

    And in a few days I’m gonna get told off by my Dad for sucking up all the usage but OH WAS IT WORTH IT

  8. I ate half a bag of chicken chips tonight

    chicken chips are my cocaine. all I wanted was a little taste to satisfy my craving…but before I knew it they all just disappeared from the bag…

    I’ve had this habit since I was in primary school. Yeah, it’s kind of a big deal to me :/ 

    Sigh..I broke one of my new year’s resolutions already :(

  9. MY RESOLUTIONS FOR 2012

    1. To not sound so BREATHY when I’m singing like I’m asthmatic
    2. Be able to run 10k all in one go
    3. Pass my licence test (which is in TEN DAYS!) I just have to remember to check my mirrors every time I pull over and make sure my brain doesn’t decide to adopt a short term memory span on the day

  10. First day of my new life

    I got contact lenses on Christmas Eve. It’s super exciting to not wear glasses anymore but it’s also super embarrassing because I’m 20 and I’ve never tried contact lenses before. I never went through a “glasses make me look so nerdy” phase in high school so the thought of getting contacts never really occurred to me. The reason why I got contacts is because I really really love the colour purple. I really love wearing purple eye make up but I always have to wear it underneath my purple framed glasses and everyone laughs at me when I do because I end up looking like I’m really obsessed with the purple. (I am, but I’m not a PDA type of girl)

    So yeah, wearing contacts has been a lot of fun so far. I look so different that I don’t feel like I’m the same person anymore. I feel like Spiderman when he first got his powers and he didn’t need to wear glasses anymore. But I keep feeling tired all the time without my glasses though because the only time I ever took my glasses off was when I was going to bed, so it’s like I keep tricking my brain into preparing myself for sleep mode.

    Omg I’ve just realised something: I celebrated Christmas this year WITHOUT MY GLASSES! Tomorrow is gonna be my first day of work…WITHOUT MY GLASSES :D Oh wow I totally need to get one of those baby’s firsts books and celebrate everything about my new life because I’m living life WITHOUT GLASSES NOW. WOOO YEAH!

    Omg my contact lenses are so soft and squishy like jelly and you can fold them and flip them inside out and there’s this REALLY CLEVER TRICK which can help you tell whether a lens is flipped inside out or not. I really wanna try those contacts which shape your corneas while you sleep and then you take them out when you wake up in the morning and get perfect vision. Contact lenses are such cool things :D

    (Ok maybe I shouldn’t post really late in the night because I probably think that I sound pretty normal right now and tomorrow morning I’ll realise I actually sound really far from normal)
