Damn. I can't really work it out for debate. I really give up sometimes.
I'm going to forget things and just enjoy my last few hours of peace.

Rather than slave away at my holiday homework before school starts on 2nd Jan, I am blogging.
I've just watched that Emo video on Erin's blog again. I was that bored.

Okay not bored really but rather frustrated at the simple complexity of crochet.
And pondering over morality (due to Somerset Maugham's Of Human Bondage)
And wondering if I should ever finish reading 家教情人梦
About some little depressed girl who wants to have a boyfriend and has bad grades.

I'm watching The Painted Veil. I've read the book. By Somerset Maugham.
I guess I never really had the intensity of the things being said and done sometimes.
I felt for Walter in that book though. I'll say that much.

Crochetogether

Crochet craze. Christmas craze.

Guess what I got for Christmas! I got a Knitting and Crochet Bible! It was given to me by a family friend.
One of the projects I am dying to try is the crochet heirloom blanket. It needs 225 motifs measuring 17cm by 17cm.

Yeah. One motif every day of the year and I should get there. Eventually.
I want to make a different pattern for every motif and save it for my coming-of-age. Or my confirmation.

For now it will be soaking up the last traces of festive cheer before new school term starts.
(where's that homework of mine?)

And finishing up the over-sized vest for my buddy and primary school friend, Shannon.
It's done in plain boring stockinette and is a pain in a neck of a time-waster.
At least the yarn I found was very reasonably priced.

Gotta go crochet!
Tell you more about my Knitogether and Crochetogether and Knotogether plans!

CROCHET!
I have just picked it up like the last two weeks and it is way easier than knitting

Guys I Like

Okay. So even if I AM a little relationship starved and don't go crazy over some guys I do have my weak spots. Namely this guy and Richard Gere. I'm not putting Richard Gere's photo because he is devilishly old. I officially was all for him when I saw the visa commercial and Shall We Dance?.

James Bond here, he's the new guy. I was watching the Monday night movies on channel 5 (yes, i don't have cable, therefore resorting to lamer channels) with him starring in them. Hearted the action scenes and "Tomorrow Never Dies" although I hated the close scenes. Why can't two people just stay friends? Even if one is remarkably handsome.
Third on the list is Richard Clayderman. A lesser known pianist by this era since he is also remarkably old. Try searching for Rhapsody in Blue. This guy's quite cool.
Then a minor string of my other swooning phases. Titanic's Jack Dawson, Barry Manilow for his singing, Kenny Rogers for the awesome looks and singing and lyrics of the songs he sang.

Okay. back to real life. I have to finish my Christmas presents for some people and the debate sessions are killing me. It is so difficult! Research and more research on Financial Incentives for Marriage and Parenthood. Next post will cover that.

Of Human Bondage

By Somerset Maugham. You know, he might just become my favourite author. I mean, I enjoyed the Painted Veil and I rather enjoy this novel even as I'm at page 59.

Middlesex was the most awesome book I have read in ages. The whole story is like wow and logically believable.

I'm knitting a vest for a friend. After which I shall pamper myself with one.

I'm going to be at Liang Court this Saturday night! I've picked out my outfit. I know I sound as though I'm going for a first date but I'm not. I wish I was. Romance seems so wonderful. The holidays are bad for singles. Left right and center you see couples holding hands, making out, clutching and groping each other and wearing egotistic t-shirts.

Okay! I know I've been very jealous. And going to the art class at Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts is not helping matters. On the way there you see so many guys and the western ideal man. Them and Asian girls dating. The worst part is that I've got Crush by David ringing in my head due to the guy in art class (thankfully it's a one week holiday class) playing it on his hand phone for the past two days before class began. Today's track pics included Avril's Skater boy which a another girl hated.

Right now I've got to think of ways to incorporate a theme into that gimongous (larger than A3) canvas we have to complete by Friday's lesson. We start practical work on Thursday. I'm thinking checkerboards. Chess boards. Vertical canvas. Looking up. Looking down- Bird's eyeview. A good sketch of someone. Just one really good sketch. A person whom I can connect with. Ah-Hah!

Okay, perhaps not. My national geographic. My printer ain't that good.
