literature in disguise

I was looking at a random song's lyrics and i realized how songs are like poetry. They aren't long, aren't exactly in full sentences, tells of a story( in a way). They do ryhme at some point of time too:) That totally makes songwriters poets that write literature cleverly packaged to fit into today's society in a mainstream way!

Grrrreat. and the timetable is out . Mon,10-3,Tue,10-4,Wed and Thur,10-12,Fri,9-4. I have no idea why my fridays are always the longest.i didn't think it was that bad for the timings... no 8ams:D no 5pms either. but the modules, i just want to scream. hurhur. no joke. There's like IT module, management got to a new level. HR and there's also MICE. MICE gives me the impression that i should brace myself. It seems like there's plenty of components under it. 1 more week to rest up! To think that i was telling Kas and my brother today that i couldn't wait for school to start cause i was getting wayyy too bored at home.

Anyways, I heard the best news today:) Mr Elvin Loo got his iPhone 4 yesterday!!:) hurhur! i'm just going to whatsapp him and spam spam spam his phone and hopefully get to facetime with him soon to see his new humble abode! heehee:) That means all my siblings have iphone:) and another piece of good news. JOANNE LIM IS BACK FROM CHEENA LAND:))))

Ahhhh. who cares about sucky timetable. GOD IS SO GOOD! GOD IS SO GOOD! GOD IS SO GOOD HE'S SO GOOD TO ME!~

about white dresses

My conversation with mumzies about white dresses( or any white clothing for that matter)

Mum: if you don't learn how to hand wash them, what happens if you go overseas? who wash for you?
Me: *hesitates...
Mum: Say luhh!
Me: I won't bring white clothes so i don't have to hand wash lor:D
Mum:*stares blankly.. Haiyo... you uhh...

Hey, you. Yes, you.

I was searching around on youtube. and i found this song.

Only grace- Matthew West

There is no guilt here
There is no shame
No pointing fingers
There is no blame
What happened yesterday…has disappeared
The dirt has washed away
And now it's clear

There's only grace
There's only love
There's only mercy and believe me it's enough
Your sins are gone
Without a trace
And there's nothing left now
There's only grace

You're starting over now
Under the sun
You're stepping forward now
A new life has begun
Your new life has begun

An’ there's only grace
There's only love
There's only mercy and believe me…it's enough
Your sins are gone
Without a trace
And there's nothing left nowThere's only grace…

And if you should fall again
Get back up, get back up
Reach out and take my hand
Get back up, get back up
Get back up again
Ohh…get…back…up…again…

There's only grace…
There's only love…
There's only mercy and believe me it's enough…it’s enough
Your sins are gone
Without a trace
And there's nothing left now
There's only…there’s only…grace…

There's only mercy and believe me it's enough…it’s enough
Your sins are gone
Without a trace
And there's nothing left now
There’s only…grace……
So get back up…get back up again…Get back up again.

What happened that day, it's over. Whenever people ask me," Are you ok?" I really want to say to them, I'll not remember it for the memories but for the lessons learnt.I've gotten through worst than this and it really isn't going to scar me for long( will it scar at all? o.o). I've gotten back up:) what's left to this is to pick up after our mistakes. when all else is settled i just want to say, I'm sorry. and from then on, let's all move on...

my stage fright

Hello, my name is clarissa. i have stage fright. I'm afraid of standing in the centre of the stage full of people staring at you. it makes me feel super exposed, like people are trying to read you like an open book.

Make A-R-T:)

Believe it or not, a make up routine consists of :
1) washing your face
2) Toning,
3)Moisturizing
4)Foundation/BB cream
5) powdering your whole face

as the BASICS before you actually apply any other form of make up.
Every saturday i spend almost an hour sitting in front of a mirror cramming all this on my face.

ALOT of people say," Why should i put make up? I believe that make up is just a mask from one's true beauty."

TRUTH IS, people who are passionate about make up, would know that make up is a form of art. Even on an everyday make up wear for going out, which just involves a little brush of blusher and some eyeliner and mascara, you still need to do the above 5 steps.

The satisfaction of being able to do a beautiful mixture of colours to form a well blended eye colour is what makes the wearer exuberate a confidence that seem to be able to rebound any form of criticism.

People who don't know how to wear make up call people who wear make up BIMBOs. I call them ARTISTS:)

I never told you

that i really want to go kbox!! AHHHHH!!!

I'm lucky i'm in love with my bestfriend, lucky to have been where i have been, lucky to be coming home again~ Suddenly very much into Colbie Caillat:)

Point of view.


Saw this picture on tumblr. They gotta combine tumblr and blogger. seriously. I'm so annoyed cause i like typing into blogger but there are no pictures to kope. Anyway, i really like this painting. Art is always so fascinating in the way where when you look at this painting, we all have different views on it. No one inteprets it exactly as someone else:)

I love how there's such immense sadness in the person's eyes, yet the tears flow colourfully. I really think it speaks or hardship. How no matter how tough a situation is, you gotta endure it. It's only after shedding tears of hardship( brown rim) then will there be an experience of colour in your life. Truth is, we gotta put ourselves there, not be complacent, constantly feeling uncomfortable, to experience the ups and downs of life. If everything goes smooth sailingly in your life, there isn't fun now, is there?:) That's why i believe God gives Saturn the permission to do harm to us, persecute us, so that our time on Earth wouldn't exactly be black and white:

On a rather random note:

I've noticed how during the holidays there are just these few must-dos....
1) obsessively weigh myself on the scale everyday, and get all depressed about gaining fats.
2) cycle
3) attempt to get an exercise routine together
4) bake!
5)go for a tan
6) pack my room and maybe, if in a good mood, the wardrobe
7)Attempt planning next sem's scedule( like that'll work, quite epic, since timetable isn't even out yet-.-)

Oh dear, i haven't completed most of the above yet:/
