exams make every single thing distracting. i have developed a real thing for necklaces and bracelets and such accessories at present. spent quite some time sorting them out the other night. maybe i'll start making my own accessories - but i doubt it. i'm not into craft. attention span for it is way too short. really like some of the stuff i saw on shopintuition.com though. why don't they ship to singapore. argh. going to check out bead shops after exams just to satisfy my cravings. anyone know places where i can get offbeat pendants? i won't take perlini's for an answer.

have started recieving a new show [euphemistically speaking]. entourage, it's a HBO series. couldn't get enough of Adrien Grenier, and what better way to watch him then in a tv series? i like his hair. there are plenty of things in my computer screaming - 'WATCH ME!'. High Fidelity, Groundhog Day, a couple of Nip/Tuck season 1 episodes, A Cook's Tour. and stuff that's not on my computer too. Election [i felt like reliving my tracy flick days after the OC's version of her], Magnolia [yuehan's, actually. i've kept it for a month :/], Adaptation [i'm looking to watch it a second time after i first watched it in secondary school. i'm sure my interpretation of it will be different]. and i ordered the Undeclared series and Thirteen off amazon. looking forward to getting that in maybe a week's time. i have a thing for '90s teen shows. want My So-Called Life, Popular, Life As We Know It. but, well. also wish i was allowed to blow a huge amount of cash on that 70s show dvds but. my parents. would. kill. me.

also, i seriously want to watch Proof, Jarhead and Brokeback Mountain. yes, you guessed it - Jake Gyllenhaal. Jake, Jake, Jake. how exciting. and Proof also because it was originally a play written by a Chicago alum and some shooting takes place on campus.

my taste in music is cyclical. after listening to plumb, jewel, alana davis and lisa loeb for days on end [going through the whole girls with guitars circa '90s music], have gone back to emo [also known as, 'a whole bunch of whining and guitars']. am suddenly obsessed with the band Further Seems Forever. always wanted to check them out because Chris Carrabba used to front it, but never really got down to it. searched for a couple of their songs and even found the old ones Chris is on. it's a lot more rock-heavy than DC. on DC it's pretty much Chris all the time, sometimes he does it by himself with no backup, and when there is backup it's relatively understated. FSF is, well, different. they sound a bit like The Ataris after Chris leaves, less edgy though. but being a groupie, i like anything that Chris is/was part of.

see, the exams seems to spur you on to do things you normally wouldn't be as excited about when you have free time. exams are a double-edged sword. i thrive on reverse psychology, but maybe that's just me.

i notice i do this - [ ] - a lot. it must be annoying to read. i received this in my mail today, an envelop that read 'the pen is mightier than the sword' or something. and opened it up quite excitedly, thinking it was some writing event. well, at first i saw, 'write your own success story' and then opening the foldable thingy i realized it was some RSAF scholarship thing. which is rubbish, really. what a joke. i'm not applying for any scholarships, and well i don't think i'm really eligible. much less, SAF?! stuff to do with soldiers and artillery and war and stuff? ha, not ever not everrrrrr.

speaking of which, it was Math 2 yesterday. it was a walk in the park, a walk in Central park in New York City at 12 midnight where all the muggers and serial killers are swarming about.

that was a bad attempt at wry humour. i'm going to stop now because i'm getting too self-centred for my own good. last paper tomorrow, God help me!
