Bite-sizes

Weekends are checkpoints. I find myself crawling towards every one of them since the start of my second year. Also, they just fwoosh by and the next thing you know, BAM it's Monday.

But there's always a silver lining on every cloud : ICE CREAM SALE. Who knew ice cream could turn frowns upside down so easily. Worked my way through 3 tubs (with housemates of course) and had it almost everyday for the past week! As I've read somewhere 'Money can't buy happiness, but you can buy ice cream. And that's kind of the same thing' :)

Watched a couple of gigs with ZS and they were my first gigs in brizzle! The Naked and Famous, Wild Beasts were of a different taste from what I usually listen to and I grew a strong liking to the NAF the most. Apparently they were quite jetlagged during the performance as they flew from New Zealand a day before (I guess that explains the very mundane-looking bassist haha)

The NAF - I had a good view :)

Wild Beasts - Bad view. Alot of tall bobbing heads D:<

On wednesday I watched Bruch's violin concerto with a group of friends. Classical concerts being what they are play some unknown pieces at the beginning, in which I turned to white noise and giving myself some self-motivation to stay awake. Unfortunately, poor ZS was nodding off to sleep in less than 5mins of the 1st movement of the dreary (and rather boring) symphony. After what seemed like forever, my fave concerto has finally begun! And it was really great although I thought the main violinist seemed nervous and stiff at the start (he went crazy and started to jump off the ground at times later on).

This picture was not of Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra but..it looked more or less the same..except that the conductor had 'climatic' white hair.

Got a polaroid multishot camera from ebay - was so excited! However, I kinda messed up the part where I had to load the film. And all I produced were not what I wanted. Some of them looked like modern art, very conceptual. But most of them were not even exposed to light at all :/ producing supermassive black holes.

2pm performed in Msia very recently and the fangirl in me (I thought she died) just wailed in agony. Here are some pictures from the concert by TM -

*swoons*

Oh dear when will I ever get over them??

In between my lab report

When I paused to analyse some results, I suddenly felt a burning sensation in my stomach. And I thought : oh no - it's hungry again.

Yes I classify it as a separate entity because I think my stomach thinks for itself (not a very logical thing to say at all since I've studied bio for quite some time).

My eyes sneakily averted to the food shelf, then at my desktop clock, and my stomach nods and says 'go for it!'.

I should be worried cuz that sounded a little schizophrenic!

*nomnoms*

Bonfire Night

To be honest I don't know much about the origin of this event..I just know it's along the lines of V for Vendetta - and that's enough for me.

Watched some amazing fireworks which made everybody ooh-ed and ahh-ed.

I'm happy that I was with good company :)

and I'm glad that my camera caught most of everything! Eyes half-watching the screen, half-watching the real thing, hearing how they whistle to the top and bloom in the night sky. I caught glimpses of the crowd, with hues of red, green or yellow on their faces (some with their mouths hanging open with awe haha).

Saw some children playing with glow sticks and sparklers and we were glowing with envy. We know what to bring next time!!

The best weekend I had in ages!! :) :) :)

Can't wait to watch The Naked and Famous this Wednesday :D
