As of lately, my life consists of:
work.
work.
work from 6pm until 2am. yes. believe it.
work.
Well now that exams are over (yay!) I find myself constantly working (not voluntarily I might add, but because my manager keeps scheduling me to work). I know that working in retail doesn't seem like the most tiring of jobs, but when you're constantly on your feet for 7-8 hours, well let's just say it's a bitch. Not to mention the constant folding and refolding of clothes, greeting customers with "enthusiasm" and pretending like you care "how they are". I really hope my manager doesn't read this.
But other than that, the discount's decent and so is my pay considering it's retail, and I just so happened to have found the PERFECT trench coat there!! (It actually fits and doesn't give the impression that I am wearing a big beige curtain)
Apart from work...what else is new? Not too much. I recently went to the Killers concert and they were amazing to say the least. It was such a fluke that I ended up even getting tickets to go. It was meant to be :) I kind of regret not getting floor tickets though...watching a concert just isn't the same without being up front and center - or at least closest possible to the band!! But it defs was one of my favourtie concerts to date. I can't wait for the Coldplay concert!
Must Listen:
1) Yellow - Jem (Her cover of this classic Coldplay song is simply mesmerizing)
2) Sam's Town (Abbey Road Version) - The Killers

My Girl (No, not the Korean movie)
Must Watch:
This is one of my all time favourite movies :) I love how the storyline is so simple, yet it is just enough to completely entice an audience. This "coming-of-age" movie reminds me of how precious moments were when I was a child (and how I took them for granted), and how much I miss my youth. Wow, I sound like I'm experiencing my mid-life crisis or something...but I am NINETEEN afterall. This is the last year that ends with "-teen". Come next year, I can kiss my teen years goodbye as I venture into the "twenty's" (*shudders*). But I'll cross that bridge when I have to. Anyhow for the time being, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you watching this movie!!
CAUTION: This movie may cause water works. That's all I'm gonna say.
Must Listen:
My Girl - The Temptations (Just like the movie, this is another all time favourite!)

I realize that I should be studying like there's no tomorrow, but after reading endless notes of meaningless information for the past hour, I decided to reward myself a 15min break. I never understood why as students we are required to know SO MUCH. I mean, when for the rest of your life, are you ever going to need to know that birds (unlike all other mammals) have a "one-way" air flow meaning that it has a continuous flow/supply of fresh air to breathe?? Probably never.
But okay I was being dramatic. I guess this bird breathing nonsense is somewhat interesting otherwise I wouldn't have been able to remember it enough to even mention it right now. But I ASSURE you, reading everything else makes me want to bleed from the eyes.
Today was officially the LAST DAY OF FIRST YEAR :):):) YAY. And to celebrate, a couple of my friends and I decided that even though we all should be studying, we deserve to go to BSD. Too bad the weather man lied yet again, and the sunny 15 degree weather felt like a rainstorm waiting to happen. Spring, where are you??
Speaking of Spring, this reminds me of its better half aka SUMMER! I know this is a tad bit early to pick a summer song, but I'm gonna do it anyways!!
Summer Song (of the moment):
Eh Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say) - Lady GaGa
I don't know what it is about this song that reminds me of sunny days free of stress. Perhaps it's the up-beat melody that perfectly compliments the light subject of the song? Who knows, but give it a listen!
