modus operandi

Right. So I've been lazy and my LJ is on the verge of becoming a wasteland. I'm supposed to do my readings for Journalism because our presentation is in less than a week and we have to email one another the information to put into our Powerpoint slides by Monday, but, as we all know, it doesn't take much for me to give in to procrastination. Especially when there is proper work that needs to be done.

[Random update inserted here!]
Recently Zhenni, thesuperette and I went to Sunshine Plaza because thesuperette wanted to find some photography shop to check out a super small (toy?) digital camera she saw in a magazine, and even though I tried not to, I got attracted to a digital lomography camera.

If I'm not wrong, it's a Harinezumi 2. I was bought over by it having a macro function and being able to do sound recording. But I don't have the money to buy it =(

Ah well. *Adds to neverending wishlist*

Anyway, as I was saying, am bored and am procrastinating. So you get multiple updates from me! Woots!

Um. Let's start with my Christmas celebration. Well, actually. My family doesn't really celebrate it so the only celebration that could count as a celebration was with the people from work. More specifically, we had a BBQ and gift exchange at The Boss's place. Before that, as with all corporations, we had to suffer through hearing nothing but Christmas songs all day long at work. Not just any old Christmas songs, strange versions like those sung by Hi5 and—forgive me for saying this, those in my F-list who are religious—lots of prayer/praise-ish (I don't know how those are called) songs that make me cringe because as much as I understand that people believe in different things, I still think of myself as an atheist and I don't appreciate needing to listen to songs about religious entities and not being unable to turn it off or escape somewhere.

That whole playlist was burnt on a CD by The Lady Boss and before we started playing her CD, I wanted to burn my own mix because at least I will find songs that are as religiously-neutral as Christmas songs can get (goodness, TLB got horrified at 'Last Christmas'. 'LAST CHRISTMAS''! It's like, one of the classics! Mind do not compute!) but she wanted to use hers because she found a way to burn a CD that can play non-stop for eight (or was it 18?) hours without us having to restart the CD when it ends.

Seriously, has she taken into consideration that not all our customers are Christians, not to mention the fact that there is no dominant religion in Singapore, much less Christianity being a dominant religion here? How would she feel if she needs to listen to hours of Buddhist chants?

But anyway. Five days before Christmas, I had a shift and I brought my camera to work.

( Naturally, random photo-taking happened. )

Trimester is over, all my assignments submitted, JLPT4 over and done with a couple of hours ago (although I have a very bad feeling that I won't pass D: thanks to crazy school schedule leaving me with no time to study and I tried to cram everything into my head last night until 3a.m. and OMG THE LISTENING SECTION must you change your conversation details every few seconds? Stop confusing us! And the grammar section was just EPIC FAIL D: Am feeling very MEH about it).

But anyway, trimester break is finally here! THREE WEEKS! Okay, less than that, because I need to spare some days for work to get allowance, BUT BREAK! FINALLY! XD

So, as I have promised myself a few weeks ago to buy a tub of ice-cream and finish it all by myself...

( Decadence YAY! )

Two days ago (on Saturday), I finally tried to bake that Butter Pound Cake (with lemon) I've been wanting to since months ago. Well, I had to, or the heavy whipping cream I bought would expire soon.

( FAIL/WIN? )
