Listening to Akdong Musician and looking through my Korean exchange photos- just throw me back to Korea, please ㅠㅠ

If I could go back, I would go for all the K-indie concerts and somehow FIND my way into these concerts. I realize that I really love this genre. Although I still like K-pop a lot haha and oh yeah not forgetting all the mountains that I've yet to climb back in Korea ahhh

Slacking around as if I have no work to do at all hahaha haishhhh

The Maze Runner

Caught The Maze Runner last Saturday and I loved it!! For the record, I love shows like The Hunger Games, Divergent trilogy. But what sets this movie apart from the other two, is that there is NO ROMANCE. But that doesn't make the movie any less interesting, in fact, the pace and flow is even better. Because there is no time wasted on sappy love stories and protagonist dilemmas over saving the world and their love. Haha

It's exactly my favourite kind of movie with all the thrilling bits that got me almost screaming in the cinema hahaha and grabbing the arms of my friends' on either side of me. Includes whacking them too lolol i can be quite a violent movie go-er haha. But it was so great!! And I loved the subtle humour in it.

I had read reviews about it online prior to watching and some were saying how it was a little too slow... I think I can understand that part but I don't mind it being slow, because there was just too much eyecandy!! HEHE. I love Minho, and I also love Newt haha two cutie pies. Newt reminds me of Peter Pan actually haha I think it was the same actor... like a boy-child turned into a man for this movie haha.


Overall, I really enjoyed this show and it was a Saturday well-spent. It's recess week now which means no school for a week! But it also means time to catch up on all the work I've missed in the past 6 weeks (all my half-completed readings TT) but I'm glad for this little break, and I'm glad I spent part of this little break watching such a good movie!!

Downloaded the ebook for Maze Runner, getting ready to read it (after I finish my Lorien Legacies series/but this Legacies series isn't over yet, I meant like, catching up to the latest book haha)!!! Exciting days ahead, everyone! +++++ thinking!! hahaha

Dysfunctionality

Thought I'd blog about my batchmates and teammates today haha

We celebrated Mooncake Festival (also known as Chuseok holidays in Korea) after gym training yesterday. This meant a lot of photo taking and hardly any mooncake eating or appreciation of the moon ahaha


Anyway, our dysfunctionality is quite funny. Here, I'll let the pictures do the talking hahaha

This was from last season (which is actually just July of this year haha)

Before, and Shan in her own happy bubble smiling at the camera HAHA

Us being all aggressive at Steph

And still mad at her for not moving. Hahaha

FINALLY.

Quite hilarious huh. And in a more recent example, from yesterday...

HAHAHA we're still made at the same culprit who just can't sit normally as us hahahaha even in the proper photo, her legs are still crossed the wrong way LOL /ocd speaking right now/

But all's good. This is just how we function. By getting mad at each other and not giving a f about it. Haha! Not just my batchmates... this team is also pretty weird lol

Told you so hahaha

But I still love them all the same :-)

I've never talked about the ordeal on this blog so I shall just skip past it. Haha. Instead, I just want to talk about something I've learned and this new rope that I've found.

"We need hearts, not muscles."

We'll get there somehow.

Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall

#victoriaconcerthall #arts #artsyfartsy #lolol #whyamihashtaggingablogpost #ithinkicuteah

I'm back~

Struggling through my many readings (I'm so screwedddd) so I decided write a post about my class field trip to Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall last Tuesday. Haha it was for a dialogue session called Let's Talk! organized by the National Arts Council (NAC) and the goal is to have anyone (it's open to public) come in and discuss various issues so this year the objective was:

1. Advocating the value of the arts together (Local)
2. Reaching out internationally (International)

I went for the second category and it was pretty interesting!! I'm supposed to write a self-reflection assignment for it (due to tomorrow homg) but I'm not getting to that just yet... Hahaha

There were loads of other students too, apparently, especially from Lasalle and can I just say that they're brilliant? I think those students were studying art management, so they were really on point with it. On the other hand, we as sociologists, we kinda saw a glimpse of our role in the arts briefly haha when the panel speakers touched on theoretical etc in order to critic and ensure quality of the arts.

I also managed to speak with one of the NAC representatives (he's pretty big up there!! He was on stage as part of the panel leading the closing discussions ok) and he said NAC is always looking for people... maybe. #possiblecareeroption #HAHA

Anyway photos!! I made my way down to the venue myself as I didn't have school in the morning. I was super early! I even sat at the mrt platform for a while to read my ebook off my phone lol i would have napped but...I'm not in Korea hahaha (yes I napped at a subway platform when I was in Korea haha I remember clutching my valuables really tightly though LOL)

Singapore River - also the site where Singapore River Regatta is held at lol (that's a dragonboat competition held traditionally in November)

Because I was early, I got myself an ice-cream sandwich for $1!! Then I received a call from my friend that the class had already arrived so I rushed to finish it real quick lol, couldn't enjoy it sitting by the riverside damn

Took a selfie with Stamford Raffles too HAHA

Interior of the Victoria Concert Hall!!

Oh! A little about the Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall...

It's actually pretty newly renovated so everything is kinda modern yet traditional...it's really a fusion haha. A lot of it is about restoration and the building (if my memory doesn't fail me) used to be stone grey but it's now a pristine white. Very pretty.

I think I remember spending some time in here for a concert of some sorts... else it was some SSO music program thing I was a part of I have rather strong memories of the stage and stuff haha I must have watched a few concerts of the orchestra during my younger, more musically-inclined days haha

Then after the whole dialogue session was over, there were some refreshments but I only have a grainy snapchat photo of it so I'm not gonna upload it haha and then I went back outside to take more photos of the place...

One of the building and Raffles inside haha

I'm trying out a new way of editing my photos, trying to make them brighter while still retaining the fade layer over it hahaha (I'm very anal about similar looking photos, if you know me heheheh)
