nosey problems

My nose and the entire area around it feel like they're on fire. Bright red and hurting. 

Been having this cold since Thursday and my body system is out of wack. I have NO idea how weak my immune system is, but I know for sure that I've been sick more than fice (that's once, twice, thrice, frice and fice?) since December 2012.

And yay, it's twenty-thirteen and I'm turning the BIG ONE-FIVE this seventeenth, and I'm really excited 'cause I've got friends coming over for a sleepover on the day before. All eight of them. 

But at the moment, I've got to study like a mad fish for a religious studies test I'm taking this Monday, because I skipped it on Friday. Had to come home early because I was way too sick to take the test.

Recorded a cover of Titanium with Resha yesterday, after re-recording a video for Good Time for CapenTV  (that's just a compilation of videos that we're playing at my dad's music centre). Now I'm just here in Capen, stuck listening to the same few songs by ThePianoGuys, Sungha Jung, Resha and I and a demo drum video. 

Tried to take a nap after obeying my momma and taking some flu medicine. But guess what? That darn blocked nose kind of prevented any oxygen from going into my lungs via my nostrils, so I had to breathe through my mouth and GUESS HOW UNCOMFORTABLE THAT IS. My lips are now all dry and cracked, no thanks to my glorious cold. 

So I'm wearing my brother's oversized hoodie and feeling warm and cosy...

AND YAY GOOD TIME IS PLAYING ON CAPENTV AGAIN. (sense my overload of sarcasm)

Got to blow my nose

Bye. 

So excited.

Random thought: I was resting my head on my arm, ear on my wrist, and I actually heard my blood pulsing through my veins. Creepy.

Anyway, hello to you people out there! Sorry I haven't been updating; been busy with school work and things.

I am really really incredibly grateful to my mom for being there to keep reminding me to study, study, study and take my distracting phone away. It is because of her strictness that I've managed to score in some of my tests.

My English paper was disappointing though. 78 out of 100. So. Freaking. Close. To. An. A. Argh.

So I'm here, heart thumping with excitement for tomorrow.

THE FIRST FULL DRESS REHEARSAL FOR A-LL13 THE MUSICAL! Whee.

Gonna be wearing my really cool costume, and people are gonna start doing hair and makeup. Not very excited about makeup though. Especially lip-related makeup. Yuck.

I vow to myself to sleep before 12:30, and I'm sticking to it.

Thanks for coming back to read this! :)

COUNTDOWN

A-LL13 THE MUSICAL SPECIAL PREMIERE: 14 days to go

MONTHLY TESTS: 2 more tests (Add Math & Accounts. The horror.)

Pigs And Cupboards And Knives

I apologize for the ridiculously random title. ------

 So I'm done with the Business test and English paper 2. Hooray. No tests for tomorrow and Thursday, unless you count Malay. But it's easy and shizz so I'm not worried about it.

 I'm DARN worried about my Computer test this Friday though. This term is the first I'm taking this subject, so this is the first test. I'm quite sure I'm not able to ace it, but I'm hoping from the bottom of my heart and soul and lung and kidneys that I'll at least get a low B. If not, HOW?!

 Anyway, I've just remembered that I've not shared my cover of Good Time (Owl City ft. Carly Rae Jepsen) that I did with Resha. Here's the link -> http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=J98Fo_VuJm8 :)

Thank you for helping me pass a 100 pageviews!

It's Been Awhile!

Hey all! I've just completed my Biology test in school just now and darn, it was difficult. It was more I'm-not-sure difficult than I-don't-know-how difficult though. The questions were real tricky.

For now, I can throw away all memory of nephrons and neurons and hair follicles at least till the end of year test. All I have to concentrate on is Business Studies. Abraham Maslow and his hierachy of needs, here I come!

 Anyway, I'm really grateful for all those readers who visit my blog every time I share a post on Facebook and Twitter, and I hope you guys keep on reading. Your support is much appreciated!

Dance, sweetheart, dance.

She thumps her fist hard on the barre in front of her, frustrated. She glares at her own reflection in the mirror. Her eyebrows meet in the middle, almost touching. Her face is flushed and tear-stained. Her tight bun remains in the hairnet, but a few strands push out of their tight-knit group and fall limply across her face. Her tear-filled gray eyes glare angrily back, reflecting her exhaustion.

She drives her fists into her eyes, trying to stop the tears from spilling over. She had been practicing the same routine for months, failing to perfect it. Endless lectures and warnings of not putting in enough effort had done a lot of damage to her insecure soul. She worked even harder nonetheless, spending at least three hours in the basement, torturing her strained muscles and exerting herself to the extremes.

Inhaling deeply, she places her left ankle on the barre and straightens her back leg, feeling the muscles being pulled. Arching her back, she slowly bends forward, holding her left foot. Letting out a groan, she lets go of her foot and collapses backwards, landing roughly on the wooden dance floor. She rubs her sore calf. A tear slips down her hot cheek.

After the pain has subsided, she leans back and lies down flat on the floor, limbs sprawled. She breathes in and out slowly. She closes her eyes and soon drifts into a world where legendary dancers live. She imagines herself there, dancing en pointe, with graceful steps and a perfect posture. Soft whispers fill her calm soul, telling her to "Dance, sweetheart, dance."
