God. I MISS ITALY. Specifically Venice. I could like live in Venice, yeah I really could. Prague would be nice too. And there needs to be waaaaay more templates on Venice/Prague. Paris is so overrated. Look that up on blogskins and dozens of Paris Hilton pops up. See, not original.
And did I mention I love James Lafferty's smirk? Swoons.

Just had Lit Paper4.
What a blast!
Right, who am I kidding?
Anw, my purpose here is to proclaim my eternal love for Twilight and Edward Cullen.
I honestly haven't been that hooked up on a FICTIONAL character nor a book for a long long time. In fact, I don't think I ever had.
I even toss and turn in bed at night, thinking about darn vampires.
Seriously.
I'm not kidding when I say I L-O-V-E the book. The very first book.
And of course, my sexy vampire, Edward Cullen (:
Whom sadly to say, I really don't think RPattz lives up to that.
But you have to take what they give, I'm over the moon that they are producing the movie already. And Kirstin Stewart actually makes me like Bella more and less jealous of her. Hah.
Ooooh, I ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it.
Alice: It's been almost a century that Edward's been alone. Now he's found you. You can't see the changes that we see, we who have been with him for so long. Do you think any of us want to look into his eyes for the next hundred years if he loses you? - Twilight -

I can't stand it.
I have absolutely NO MOOD TO STUDY.
Especially not after I started rummaging through youtube and found all these uber cute interviews w Kirsten Stewart and Robert Pattinson. AHHHH.
I'm feeling so damn fangirly now ):
I CANNOT WAIT TILL THE MOVIE COMES OUT.
And to get my hands on Eclipse and Breaking Dawn when it comes out (:
Everyone should go read Twilight like NOW.
It actually made me LOL.
Here's some snippets (:
(From both Twilight & New Moon)
"You actually stamp your foot?" - Jacob
"I'm really glad Edward didn't kill you. Everything's so much more fun with you around." - Emmett
"I was just wondering why you stabbed him. Not that I object."
"Stupid, shiny Volvo owner!" - Bella
"Stupid, unreliable vampire!" - Bella
"I think she's having hysterics. Maybe you should slap her!" - Alice
"How opposed are you to grand theft auto?" - Alice
In summary, she did jump off a cliff, but she was not trying to kill herself. Bella's all about extreme sports these days." - Alice
"Kryptonite doesn't bother me either." - Edward
"Oh, I'm with the vampires, of course" - Bella
Edward: "Do I dazzle you?"
Bella: "Frequently"
Edward: "And so the lion fell in love with the lamb."
Bella: "What a stupid lamb,"
Edward: "What a sick, masochistic lion."
"Afraid of a needle." he muttered to himself under his breath, shaking his head. "Oh, a sadistic vampire, intent on torturing her to death, sure, no problem, she runs off to meet him. An IV, on the other hand..."
Did I mention how much I love Twilight and the other books again?

Omg. I'm totally spazzing over Twilight now. And by that I actually mean both the book and the movie. I really liked the trailer! As much as you can love a clip less than 59secs. I CANNOT WAIT. 12.12.08 I hope it gets released in Singapore at around the same time too. Gah. I love Edward Cullen!

Tampines Regional Library on a Sunday morning, slightly before 10am waiting for the library to open its welcoming doors. Yep, Singaporeans actually queue to get in the library, how scary is that?
I had like more photos, mainly one REALLY unglam photo of Susu. But I decided I didn't really want to jeopardize our friendship, besides, it comes in handy when I might want to blackmail her in the future (:
And tada, 2707 (or like the 6 of us) took over the arts hub today, haha. I was just snapping away in the arts hub, when I realised that our arts hub is very pretty! And according to Susu, which I agree too, now all it needs is AIRCON. Whoo. I actually like something in TJ. Hah.
♥Elaine who really shouldn't be watching OTH now ):

This is a SUPER CUTE kitten/cat which is like totally white, living near my condo.
Its damn cute. (Although I pretty much love all the cats near my condo, esp white ones)
It was sniffing the leaves for quite long while I was trying to get a good photo of it, haha. And then it noticed me, so it stopped ):
And this is my incredibly messy room. If your mom nags at you for not tidying up your room, show her mine, she'll be thankful for you. Seriously. I need to start packing stuff and tidying up my room. Gah.
And these are some stuff that I would like to recommend, hahaha. I love almost all of Body Shop's strawberry stuff! And the body lotion was on offer, so (: For a cheaper alternative, Johnson's milk lotion is quite nice to use too, haha. And the ZA dark eye circles patch thingy was featured in Cleo. So (:
I just realised my room looks awfully pink right now. My bedsheets are pink and my walls are pink.

I so love my hp! It makes uploading images SO SO much convenient, just have to bluetooth it to my com can. And the resolution isn't very good, so don't need to wait like lightyears till it gets uploaded to blogger (: So anw, first few photos, taken at library when I got bored from studying. Sorry Suzana! Although got alot of her unglam photos, she should be honoured that I'm taking so many photos of her (: Plus I'm like hooked on So You Think You Can Dance Season4 and its all her fault for making watch Episode1 of Season3 on TV. Yes Channel 5 is that slow. Although I'm very happy with them for airing Pushing Daisies!!! Very nice show!!! Although a little filled with black humour, but still. Its CREATIVE. You see, the problem with me is that I'm watching waaaay too many genres of tv shows. Pft.
THE ZOO! Omg, me and Susu has a kangeroo now luh, although now we don't really know how to recognise him from the rest of the kangeroos -.- But that kangeroo was damn cute can. I secretly thinks he likes pink. Seriously. You see, when I took my phone out to snap photos of him, he actually stood up and posed for us okay. HE STOOD UP. Considering that we didn't have food! And my hp is pink and hot pink. So anw, Susu took out her camera to take photos then. And HE WAS STILL STANDING UP. I swear he was posing for us. We even took photos with him posing luh! Oh and Susu's camera's pink too (: So you see, us and our little pink kangeroo. I love being a CA! And I love all the perks too (: I'm so gonna continue after A's.
And these are my purchases for the day, haha. I wanted to buy Strawberry lip balm, but decided against it and bought Pink Grapefruit lip butter. Too bad they don't have a sale for lipbutter ): But both the Pink Grapefruit and Guarana lip butter are nice luh. And I finally got my hands on Twilight and New Moon! With 20% and 25% vouchers from Borders, haha. I <3 Borders. Too bad they only had hard cover for Eclipse though, I thought paperback came out already since its quite long already right? Rah. Maybe I'll find it at Sans or the second hand bookshop.
Yay, subs for Women of the Sun are out! I was the main translator for Episode1, cool not. But yeah, quite waste of time, haha. Still waiting for Episode5 c-subs to come out ): And I'm so in love with We Got Married. Hate the fact that Singapore doesn't import variety shows from Korea. I love them luh. Loveletter, Xman, We Got Married, YASHIMANMAN! All are the love can!

DIE.
I'm so so so wanting to read Twilight and the rest of the books in the trilogy now!
Maybe I should wait till Breaking Dawn is out before buying all four, haha. I prob sound like such a noob right now to all the fans of Stephenie Meyer's books luh. But you see, I don't even go near fantasy books at all. So huge improvement now okay, thanks to the fictionpress story, I have so many books to read now <3
I can't find any L.J Smith books in libraries in my proximity, and there are only like 6-7 of each book. Gah. And worse still, its in libs like BUKITMERAH. Wth.
So I reserved a copy of the first book of the Night World Series, hope its nice.
But so damn hard to find, prob wont even have it in kino or borders.
Speaking of which, the borders 20% voucher only applies to ONE FULL PRICED BOOK. I wanted to use it to buy the twilight trilogy leh. Unfair.
So tempted to go out tmrw (PP) and get myself a copy, which I might. I WANT TO READ!
Okay, part of the attraction, I must admit, comes from news of Twilight being produced into a MOVIE. ((:
With Robert Pattinson being Edward. Which many of you might remember him as Cedric Diggory in HarryPotter movie. Like AHHH. I'm being fangirly now.
And the poster looks TOTALLY COOL. My god, I haven't even read it and I'm super excited already!
Kristin Steward as BELLA
Robert Pattinson as EDWARD
The Cullen Kids
Movie Synopsis
Based on the best-selling book series by Stephenie Meyer. BELLA SWAN has always been a little bit different. Never one to run with the crowd, Bella never cared about fitting in with the trendy, plastic girls at her Phoenix, Arizona high school. When her mother remarried and sent Bella to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she didn't expect much of anything to change.
But things do change when she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful EDWARD CULLEN. For Edward is nothing like any boy she's ever met. He's nothing like anyone she's ever met, period. He's intelligent and witty, and he seems to see straight into her soul. In no time at all, they are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance — unorthodox because Edward really isn't like the other boys. He can run faster than a mountain lion. He can stop a moving car with his bare hands. Oh, and he hasn't aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he's immortal. That's right — VAMPIRE. But he doesn't have fangs — that's just in the movies. And he doesn't drink human blood, though Edward and his family are unique among vampires in that lifestyle choice. To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for — a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. Somehow or other, they will have to manage their unmanageable love. But what will they do when LAURENT and JAMES, the Cullens' mortal vampire enemies, come to town, looking for Bella?
Based on the #1 New York Times Bestselling series by Stephenie Meyer, TWILIGHT is a cultural phenomenon, with a fanatic fanbase that eagerly awaits this movie. Critically acclaimed director Catherine Hardwicke brings to life this modern, visual, and visceral Romeo and Juliet story of the ultimate forbidden love affair — between vampire and mortal. Principal photography starts First Quarter 2008. U.S. release via Summit Entertainment.
Btw, A Moment To Remember if on now! I thought the director's cut was rather good. Ties the story closer together.

Sigh.
I'm still waiting for Women Of The Sun to be released.
Its so sad that the drama is being neglected both by korean viewers as well as soompiers ):
Cos I really think its nice, but the plot maybe a tad cliche. Well, family dramas are cliche too, yet all the ajhummas watch them! ):
Yes, I do too. At least for ChunJa (which stopped at Episode3 -.-) and Pure19. GooHyeSun is one pretty and talented artiste. And she debuted as an ulljjang! I think Nonstop5 was her first work, haha.
I WANT TO WATCH WOMEN OF THE SUN NOOOOOWWW.
Haven't suffered from such withdrawal since On Air. Can't be helped luh, LeeHana caught my eye. Maybe there's something wrong w me, I'm obssessed with female artistes HAHA.
See, its making me incoherent! My tian.While waiting, since I have nothing better to do, and I don't want to study (hee). Photos! Not of me, of pretty people.
Not a fan of any of the guys, although HanJaeSeok can be just passable I guess :/ Well, both KimJiSoo and LeeHana look gorgeous anw. Soooo... I WANT TO WATCH NOW ):
Okay, I shouldn't complain, at least c-subs are coming out way faster for this than Spotlight. If this gets delayed, I'll just die of horror. Kinda got over the hype of Spotlight. Seems rather boring to me now ):
Which is such a pity since SonYeJin is in it.
A Moment To Remember & The Classic! <3
SonYeJin and JungWooSung should just totally get together now.
Speaking of which, I still havent gotten over the RachelMcadams and RyanGosling breakup. (Yes, it happened milestones ago)
Damn upsetting okay.

Took a break out of mine and Susu's studying at TM lib routine from 10-5.30 with break in btw for lunch. I feel so dan accomplished after that even though I haven't exactly done much. Anyhow, I'm currently feeling really annoyed at the nlb web. Its STILL down! It was down yest night when I went to check and its still not up when it clearly states that it'll be up SOON.
Damn.
I want to search if TMlib has Stephanie Meyer's trilogy or L.J Smith's books!
Yes, I'm slow enough. You have to know that I didn't think about going near fantasy books like just a few months ago. It was until I read a fantastic (or at least to me) fantasy story on vampires/crossbreeds on fictionpress.
I so love fictionpress, please please go check it out. I'll post up some of my favourite stories later. So anw, I just want to check the catalogue, cos I really want to read those books now ):
Plus I'm currently suffering from Women Of The Sun withdrawal. Its ironic how dramas that I would have never planned to watch turned out really nice. On Air was an extremely good example. Before it came out, there was a big hype over it, prob cos of the cast. And I didn't put it on my to watch list because of the cast -.- Just didn't have any interest in them, but tried out one episode and I was hooked. Same thing for WOTS. I need to stop judging series based on casts. On a sidenote, Lee Hana looks really pretty in WOTS. In love with her character. She better end up with HanJaeSeok or I'll scream. (Which I prob will, seeing she's not the female lead.)If you've watched Le Grand Chef, she was in it (: You know, that korean movie on cooking or sth.
Yeah, I should start studying and stop watching. Too much of a drama junkie :/ So anw, as usual, stole this from wynne(:

Just in case you're wondering why my rants for kdramas are always in smaller font sizes. I just didn't want to bore non kdrama fans. Although if you don't watch kdramas, not even one, you prob won't be reading this.
I have to say, I adore FF with a passion, so much so that I wanted to see it published. Read it like 3-4 times and I loved it even more each time. Its my regret to say that the author removed all 29chapters of the story due to huge plagiarism issues. Sadly, some @$%(&#&^($ assholes stole her story and posted it on winglin with their favouritest artistes in place of the characters. Oh how I detest them.
She has so far posted one chapter up. Read her author's note, its the 2nd chapter. She might just post more in the future, which I really hope she does.
And in case you are wondering, Through Me is a kind of sequel to False Facades, and its really good too.
Okay, started out as a ranting, ended up a really long post, now I see how I have so little time for studying.
Take a break from yr studying and go read some stories!

2:38 AM
Baking cakes at Trent's house.
Studying in the library with Suzana.
C.A Duty at Australian Outback (ZOO!)
I love taking Susu's unglam photos just like she loves taking mine. Difference is, I always managed to have more of hers, and besides that, I do take extremely extremely pretty photos of her too. She doesn't exactly reciprocrate. Susu, see this? You better start taking MORE (alot more) nice photos of me to compensate.
On a sidenote, I didn't think Women In The Sun would be that nice. Storyline wise, it might seem cliche but still no doubt interesting. Besides, I've always liked 'evil' leads and this time round, both are, in some way. The cast is rather easy on the eyes too. Too bad its against Iljimae and Spotlight. With Iljimae (& LeeJunKi) as a rival, I doubt either Spotlight/WITS will be able to get out of the ratings war a winner. Which again, is a pity. I've enjoyed both more than Iljimae :/ I bet you guys don't even know what I'm talking about (:
Tampines Regional Library on a Sunday morning, slightly before 10am waiting for the library to open its welcoming doors.
And tada, 2707 (or like the 6 of us) took over the arts hub today, haha.
This is a SUPER CUTE kitten/cat which is like totally white, living near my condo.
