hello

i'm in tp's communications and media management which i guess is 'masscomm' repackaged with a fancier, more original name

i don't like being in this course, think it is a waste of my time mostly, only because i have no interest in anything that requires superficiality/strong verbal skills, feel like these are from within, you are born with it, no matter how much you practise you will always fall short behind those who are naturally charismatic, screen-friendly

we do modules like radio, broadcast which uses the above mentioned, i don't score very well for those. i was ignorant when i was choosing schools to go into after secondary school i feel, i wanted to be in a course that was 'fun', like everyone else, thought that studying about media was 'cool', 'current', but four out of five days i am unmotivated to attend school

lessons others really abhor, think are boring, i really enjoy, like the sub-editing classes a bunch of us took last semester, journalism, anything that lets me write, really. i took creative writing as a cross-disciplinary subject in the first semester of year two, i really loved that, it has been my favourite module since

funny, i tweeted something about mass communication yesterday i think. thank you for this question, it's getting stagnant around here

i am sorry for the late answer, i wanted to reply only when i felt truly thankful of something in my life which is ridiculous because everyday i will be able to find something i am grateful for if i try but i just didn't want to because i felt [bad emotion], felt like i deserved to continue feeling that way for the day.

now, my
closest friends, how their individual proximities don't matter,
internship, enjoyed what i did today at work,
personal wealth in health, enough money,
pile of books i have yet to read, i like knowing that there are plenty of other "alternate realities" waiting for me while being in one,
family, i am close to each of them in different ways, feel thankful that i am

i don't think i'm at liberty to say but i can tell you that the company i'm interning in focuses on food

just feel like if i can write while knowing that an entry won't be scrutinized the moment it goes up, i will, faster, better. i have been under a lot of unnecessary pressure from myself these few weeks on this. i'll be back after completing one-three pending posts, sorry for your sad emoticon

i don't really remember. maybe

that one time [person] and i treaded gingerly towards Loyang Point, huddled under a pathetic umbrella,
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/misc-lessons/raindrops-lesson/,
sleeping/"my life sucks" because i can't do so at that point of time.

am just reminded of these in the presence of the weather, have no incredibly strong feelings about rain, frankly

these are bands with songs i mostly love/have no strong negative connotations about, therefore listen to with high frequency:

The Jakes/Young The Giant
Florence + The Machine
Maroon 5
Sixpence None the Richer
The Honey Trees
Metric
Bee Gees
Dawes
Bayside
Foo Fighters

these are more of duets i feel, but can also be think of as bands? (if a band = >one person):
She & Him
Angus & Julia Stone

have been listening to Incubus recently and loving whatever i've heard so far; unsure about The Perishers and Bon Iver, like them yet sometimes their mellowness bore me. thanks, this is another question i enjoy answering

hello agitated/excited/someone who loves capitalization like i do,

hehe yes. i believe staunchly in the quote "do unto others what you want others to do unto you", vice-versa. to be honest, when i ask others questions myself i'm expecting well-structuredness, reflection of their effort. i like looking at answers to my questions, no matter how trivial, and leaving feeling like i was genuinely given a shit

HAVE BEEN WAITING FOREVER FOR SOMEONE TO ASK ME THIS THANK YOU I LOVE YOU.

i really really really really really am obsessed over:

if you don't love these i don't know what to say

Play

Play

Play

two mini dresses,
a ring with fake sapphire stones,
groceries: strawberries, seedless grapes, yoghurt, broccoli, shiitake mushrooms,
The Hunger Games book series, because i watched the film and it was quite good.

i think that's it. haven't been going out/purchasing things much these days. this is such a cute question, thank you

lol and hello to you too.

writing everyday, just haven't gotten round to posting the snippets on my blog yet because they are disconnected, unfinished, imperfect. feel appropriate to quote "patience is the greatest of all virtues", this is by Cato i think.

thank you

do i ever not

hi.

if you must have something i suggest a song you do not know lyrics to, quiet tunes. people say classical music is best for productivity but i disagree. i think in a classical song there are many climaxes and lows which would either jolt you or rouse you into sleep. maybe for times when you are not studying/writing you can hear, hear, to increase brain power/whatever; not when you are trying to do something that is wearying in itself.

this question makes me nervous as i'm afraid i'd give an answer which will result in little productivity on your part. to each his own i feel. i listen to music only sometimes, obligatorily when it's omnipresent in a cafe i'm at. but it may work differently for you.

here are some albums i'd personally like being played in the background/bottom volume from my earpiece:

Bon Iver, Bon Iver by Bon Iver
The Reminder by Feist
A Book Like This by Angus & Julia Stone
Until When We Are Ghosts by William Fitzsimmons
The Sparrow and the Crow by William Fitzsimmons
eponymous albums of Anjulie, Corinne Bailey Rae
etc

also depends on what i'm writing. if it's a piece on love i tend to listen to songs which remind me of it.

you're welcome, hope i helped

choir conductor. thinking, if i don't memorize these songs by practice tonight i should just die, why are these lyrics so difficult to remember

for now i'm thinking of individual domino's pizza slices, erdinger dunkels/lime and vodka mixes, music, endless conversation, by the Singapore River. i think i've been watching too much In Time With You (Taiwanese drama)

this question is phrased rather ambiguously. assuming you are asking what i look for in a future, potential partner, apart from the normalities like being a humane person, nice, loving, caring, understanding, romantic, mature, respectful, faithful

does not detest the music i love, does not force unto me the genres i can't get into
music > "serious" sports (i.e. daily basketball practices). working out is ok
if he plays the guitar i'd like that very much. i've been told that is what i look out for most, but subconsciously then
must not prefer to lead an overly indulgent partying/hippie lifestyle (and by "hippie" i mean the stereotypical, bad side of one)
READS. we can discuss, argue, agree, sit across each other in a cafe reading our owns, i can tell him which novel i cried over today, babble on about it
and if so, he should have a good command of English- speaking, writing, typing wise
adequate dress sense
sense of humour not equivalent to that of 9GAG. better, better
must be comfortable enough as a person to shut the fuck up when needed (like on long bus rides)
truly, fully understand that i love the people i do and thus am uptight/obsessed over affairs which involve them, talk about them a lot. i find that this is hard to process because i go insane on name-dropping

i can go on forever but those are what i can think of tonight. i'm not looking; no one is that perfect, i can't choose which characteristic i can do without. now i'd rather just make up faultless scenarios in my head with a blurred countenance

i relish in routine, tend to stick to one cafe at a (period of) time.

The Plain (at Craig Road) has this Melbourne feel around it and is "pretentious" enough but not too much. i like how sitting there, one gets to witness working class citizens come in at lunch time and go, hey good afternoon, the usual please, with so much habitualness. it is comforting for me to be in an environment like that, where the staff are attentive yet non-distracting from beginning to end.

40hands is cool but crowded, thus seemingly unfriendly to approach. i heard from a friend that Cat Socrates used to be more than it offers now. i like that place but not for conversation which should be held for hours to end. i don't know if it is a cafe but Wild Honey is great. prices can be revised though

quite glad that you pointed it out. yes it has.

i think a person's writing style changes over time due to the influences he/she willingly takes in. i can't stand Tao Lin's showcase of narcissism in his novel Richard Yates but despite that it is very easy to like the way he writes because it is simple, yet possesses an air of keenness. i've always hoped for my writing to exude that sort of feeling. his tone of speech is one i can truly acknowledge and thus adapt- for now at least

i don't have a favourite book or books i feel. mostly when i finish reading a novel (don't like nonfiction), i think,

this is comforting, i can read this a second time right now,
this is good, consuming, maybe i'd wait a while before reading this again,
this is amazing but boy has it fucked with my mind, or
this is bad, what is this, i've wasted my time.

i rarely have neutral stances on reads.

The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks, The History of Love by Nicole Krauss, One Day by David Nicholls, The Lover's Dictionary by David Levithan, Super Sad True Love Story by Gary Shteyngart are amongst some of the novels i truly enjoy, but i don't like to call them my "favourites" because being neurotic, i feel like there are not perfect, there is always a flaw i can find in every book.

thank you for this question. i appreciate questions like this

thank you with all my heart. i wish i can tell you how much this means to me but words can only say so much aye? sincerely hope that you are in happy place in your life now. for being so sweet, you deserve every part of it x
