Maybe I'll break your heart

'When do I get to be upset? When do I get to be anything other than me?'

I've seen the season 5 SKINS trailer and the only redeeming factor is that it was set to Arcade Fire's 'Ready to Start'. How I miss mysterious effy, JJ and his ukulele, and Naomi Campbell already.

We'll see next January :D

They have got no alibi

I didn't ever think that there would ever be an ugly SKINS cast. I was wrong.

Blow bubbles with their gum, take photographs for fun, have fun.

Note to self;

1. Get magnetic poetry, well, because our fridge magnets all need a little spice.
2. Buy dress for Daniel&Yvonne's wedding this Friday, get shoes and accesories, get currently-ghastly-and-amazingly-out-of-shape-hair CUT.
3. Send letter to Mel. Pronto.
4. finish math prelim papers Ignore any form of homework, coursework, projects till coming Sunday night.
5. Buy Ukelele and form ukelele band with nick glascow. Utmost importance.



Also, SKINS fever is all the rage! Half of the literature workshop today was spent having passionate talks on Tony Stonem, Effy, and the like. And well Max, as a response to your question, here are my top five favourite SKINS characters from across the seasons.

5. Effy Stonem a.k.a Kaya Scodelario

The only character to surf through all four seasons and still have viewers lapping the opal-eyed, freckled girl's scenes.

And she's smokin'. I guess that's reason enough for the lads.

4. Maxxie Oliver a.k.a Mitch Hewer

Skins portrayal of gay characters remind me very much of 'Perks of Being A Wallflower's Patrick. So, Mitch isn't a dangerously fantastic singer or actor, but by jiminy, he can DANCE. Doesn't hurt that he is sex on legs. (Teehee)

3. Freddie Mclair a.k.a Luke Pasqualino

'He was a sk8r boi, she said see you later boy.' You're good enough for me, Freddieeee. R.I.P.


2. Naomi Campbell a.k.a Lily Loveless

Two hopelessly hilarious names, crazy hippie clothes and a mess of white blond hair later, you get Naomi. From the time she gets Cook to show everyone the oh-so-lovely tattoo in the first episode, till she cries her heart out during the drug-episode with Sophie, there's not one moment you stop loving her.

That, and the Naomily couple *winks


1. Cassie Ainsworth a.k.a Hannah Murray

The psychotic lass. Says 'Wow' and 'Oh, Wonderful!' alot. Beautiful, but in more ways than meets the eye.

More likely you remember her as the 'Girl who never f*cking eats' (for three days so she could be lovely!). In all four seasons, there has been no other character quite like Cassie, whose eccentricities make her the very embodiment of a modern day, Jerry Spinelli 'Stargirl', or Truman Capote's Holly Golightly.

So, boo to Scotland and bulimia and trying to kill yourself over pathetic sodding Sid, we want Cass back!


SKINS FOR LIFE.

Today's Lit WS was bullpoopy. Thank God I had a reasonably sane group. Out with Suat and Kai later on! Lost jackets and chasing Jack Neo+wife around Cineleisure (I kid you not.)! Fun times.

Finally meeting SRAH G tomorrow. Stoked for AliceInWonderland and also Marche<3

You know what's left? Love.

Think cranberry juice
and dresses of autumn leaves,
Taking snapshots for fun,
Ribbons in summer hair
With grief I am done.

Forget about the
dressing for impressing,
And eyes on you today.
I'll like to sing when
everyone or no one
is watching.

Why the chin so low, lovely?
Don't dream of love,
Fight for it.

Because all we want is for people to say,
Hello stranger,
I think I might love you.

______________________________________

A week of mugging sessions has reduced my brains to mush (CTs was rubbish. What's new?) I'd like to say I've been doing fantabulously productive things the past two days but the truth is... well I haven't. More like, sleeping a lot and watching my favourite flicks all over again. plus catching up on SKINS.

Episode 7 was pure bullpoopy. The killing of Freddie Mclair by insane shrink Dr. Foster was TOSH. This season has been so intense. Heartbreaking, deep, sometimes with waaay too much of the hanky-panky... but man. It's been a good ride :)

R.I.P Freds.


On a lighter note, finally got my diana mini rolls developed in malaysia when I skived school on tuesday! Some were good, some were terrible. Of course, the 72-exposure roll that Sarah Anne ruined MERELY by touching it with her radioactive hands came out more-than-half black. Sighhh.










And of course, last Sunday was one of the most Legendary nights of my life.

PARAMORE@SG 2010

what can I say? ten hours of queueing, all the moshing, fainting, pulled-out-strands-of-hair, and it was worth it. To be able to catch one of the best bands (and a personal fave) in the world is like a surreal dream.

I must defend myself with the fact that after all the drama after the first two songs, Jared and I fought our way back in front valiantly and thus I have captured some marvy shots to share with ya'll. Scuse the blur-ness.










So here's saying hello to the march holidays! Days are packed packed packed.

So many things to do, so little time. See you guys around soon :)

Are you perspiring, from the irony?

Here's all that you had wished right here.
She says,
Live your thoughts,
Cause pavement dreams shatter easier
than I thought they would.

Don't you wish for one day
to be rain hitting the sidewalk
or sweet flowers by the evening light?
Beauty in repose.

_______________________________________

Isn't it just a horrid time to start re-watching the first two seasons of skins? Ah shoots.

(Where's Cassie/Hannah Murray? 'Crazy bitch. Never eats.' - Mich)

And of course, there's the reason why most skins viewers are gals.



All he wants to do it dance!



Wednesday was cross-country and as per usual, it was a waste of time. Island Creamery and Adam's Road for some good ol' 'makan' with Clare and the rest before, which was good. Everything else was tosh. Must develop and scan diana-mini shots in soon!

Our mascot was brilliant, why it did not win, escapes me.

The only thing I can remember from today are ms yoong's more-than-usual rants and raves and rambles etc. Carrying a somewhat indifferent attitude towards the subject. Common Tests are a joke.

Chinese A-level results tomorrow! If I don't have to take Chinese-B, I will treat my chinese mentor SUAT NING to ice-cream! It's a deal.

Crossing the Rubicon

I think,
sometimes we think too much,
think too much of ourselves.

Well it's time to get over yourself dear,
these songs aren't written for you,
Your mind's on overdrive
and it's bringing everybody down.

____________________________________________

You have no idea how much I've missed Skins. Don't you wish fabulous drama series could go on forever?

Well at least for ten glorious weeks, I've got something to look forward to every week.




Didn't go to school today, caught an unfortunate bout of, well... nevermind.

All you need to know is that the whole day was spent watching the Grammys (So-so. Dave Matthews Band was awesome. And honestly, there is nothing Lady Gaga can do now to shock the world. Although a piano with severed limbs sticking out of it comes pretty close), trying desperately to catch up with late CSE readings, and listening to Orianthi's newest album. To say the least, I am inspired!


CSE test tomorrow. Mein gott! Buckle up, its going to be one long week.

Mushaboom, shaboom, shaboom.

Sometimes I think I was born backwards, you know, come out my mum the wrong way. I hear words come pass me backwards. The people I should love, I hate. And the people I hate…”


– Effy Stonem

SKINS

This day's got potential. Its pregnant.

Naomi: Hamlet's basically a teenage boy. He's got all these desires, but he doesn't have the bottle to do reach out for them. So, he goes mad, and wanks off about Ophelia, and ends up so boring somebody has to kill him.

Josie: I'm not sure that's right. There's no wanking in Hamlet!

Naomi: Yeah there is. Loads. Only they call it 'soliloquizing'

Cook: Nice one, blondie. She's funny.



I remember being so frustrated with what 'soliloquizing' meant whilst riffling through Wuthering Heights (ref. chapter 1 page 2) at the beginning of the year. That for now, is the least of my worries.

Who said watching Skins isn't educational?

Season 4 awaits the long to-do-list of post-promotionals! Good luck, everyone :)

Pretty. Reckless.

Andrew de Torres of The Scene Aesthetic :)

2nd last week before promos has been absolute pig swill. Project work worries, unbearable teammates and a ear-infection that simply won't go away (yuck, i know.)

Jen was a real peach and loaned me her Ipod for the week, which has been the ONLY saving grace. So muchos thanks to her :) I have been going through piles and piles of my old CDs, and my room looked a bit like a war zone the past few days, but its been great. Three days without a plug-in, it's like real death (BIRKIN REFERENCE! BIRKIN!)

On the playlist this week is TSA (cal's unwanted E.P. turned out to be tops for me), lots of the Beatles and old Cobra Starship songs, which are still the best :)

A string of conversations with Ken and Kai about the fabfour revealed something rather shocking about 'The Genius', who said that Paul M looked like Joe Jonas. Needless to say, I was aghast. Paulie, is legendary! Si?

The new Beatles mania is wonderful but disheartening at the same time! D:

Also, saw a recent clip wherein Vicky-T was singing Leighton Meester's part in GGGB live, for obvious reasons. And some dork said 'Who is that random girl?! Leighton's so much better!'

Oh giddy aunt. Awesome keytarist of the band itself, need I saw more.

I miss this like HELL (where's sid?! Wait, I don't care.) but the 4th season is coming out soon, joy for all! Wicked clothes, too.

Midnight. I should be exhausted from staying at the airport for 486284 hours with Tiara AGAIN (Met XQ too, loud much?). Tomorrow's the end of the week and one more day closer to promotionals good grief.

On a brighter note, 3 MORE MONTHS TO CHRISTMAS! let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Jamie all over.

Leave the bottle out of the picture tonight,
Because tonight we start all over,
We paint a new picture,
We'll write a new story of you and me.

He's a mystery,
borne of the scent of wet grass and cherries,
Don't you know I run where I'm safe?
But why do you sing,
to everyone but me.

I don't want to belong,
anywhere else,
but in your arms.

Summer was painted in your skin,
How you take it for granted,
I believe the gods gave you to me,
But why do you kiss
Everyone but me?

'So what do we do now?'

SKINS officially ended this week with an absolutely lousy ending. Freddie loves effy. Effy loves Freddie back. EFFY AND FREDDIE STILL NOT TOGETHER.

The only consolation was that we got to see a granny-race on the last episode, which was hilarious.

Basketball on monday was wicked, and since Mrs Tan a.k.a Massive Tushy didn't come, we had an inaugural Boys VS Girls championship. Obviously, the boys were totally thrashing us till Keiran volunteered to be a girl [owning up to his feminine side, see?] and started doing all the fancy mooves. I think we won :D

Failed a math test. Mrs Yoong hates the three of us so much. Perhaps i have a certain affliction with math teachers.

Besides that, what i recall from this week is the multiple times we've tried to dodge KW, better known as Dustbin. He is really the epitome of the word Annoying. I could forgive him at staring at people while the eat their food or smile at inanimate objects, but the fact that he keeps stealing glances at Amy's underclothes or SUANNING the rest of us is rather inexcusable.

Suat Ning: Eh stace, wanna go for maths tuition together?
Me: YES! i need it. fast.
*KW lumbers over. Smiling.
KW: eh i need maths tuition.
Suat ning: What?! Kang Wei, this is for people who totally flunked CA like us okay? and you got like 20/25 for maths test?!
KW: I can fail if i want to.
Me: *Gets immensely pissed off. What the. KW, what are you talking about?
KW: Let's go for tuition as a class! *SMILES.

Mein gott.
Not to mention that PW isn't getting any better at all. My life is a supermassive blackhole [thank you the muse for giving me the words.] Thank god i have Zhi Yoong or i don't think i'll still be sane.

Hell lot of essays to write.
See you in a bit guys!

Claire's Closet.

BECAUSE SARAH SAID SHE CHOSE TEAM FREDDIE OVER TEAM COOK.



This may sound totally bizarre, but effy's dress is some pretty hot shizz.




And lastly, something really cute.

AWWWWWWWW.


******************************************end of freddie rant.

I was with Caleb a couple days ago at orchard and we heard a couple of lians talking about Skins AND madina lake. not a good sign at all.

I'm also becoming rapidly influenced into becoming a huge Kings of Leons fan by Princess J, dang they are pretty good. I'd love to say that they are extraordinarily good-looking, but not in the least bit.






See ya in a bit.
