Hall Olympiad Closing Ceremony '14
Long story short, we had the nothing but epic Hall Olympiad Closing Ceremony (HOCC) on Friday. Tia experienced one of my many momentary frenzies, the second those strobes started orbiting. The scene played out as follows:
Manda: *Grabs onto seat* IT'S BEGINNING //10 v.long minutes later// Manda: Eh, damn long. Tia, go stand at the railing so I can take a photo. Tia: *v. obediently makes her way down. curses and swears*
There's your explanation behind the first photo. I love my friends for putting up with random moments that I just need-to-photograph-someone-because-of-good-lighting.
Anywho, I felt so tingly after every performance. The dancers' hard work and long nights really shone through those moments when they took their bows and beamed those smiles. So proud of Hall 13 & and my cousie Nicnic (Hall 12) for putting up such an awesome performance.
On a side note, ha ha ha ha dear Cepheus randomly messaged me that photo (2nd last) the other day "test shot from video shoot. concussing now". I think he did a wonderful job (as usual) with the shots for our Hall Dance Intro video, despite the storyline being a little complicated. The theme for this year's is Transcendence. Above is the promo vid for Transcendence through time, love and distance hahah we all tried our best la huh. Just love the way Michelle dances her Contemp. Sorry for the lousy acting.
PS:// Shout out, thanks T for the flower even though I'm highly undeserving of it.
Edit: & Here's Hall 13's one and only Effervesce (I think that's how they spell it) busting some moves on stage.
Check out Cepheus's channel for the rest of the halls.
ONE-OH-ONE: 2. NTU Freshie guide
Sorry I took so long to come up with this. I think in general, these tips apply to any school/freshman year. I'm not the best person to advise but this is what I got from my first year. Like, seriously, IT DOESN'T MATTER, JUST HAVE FUN.
SBS day
edit: In the likes of very terrible photo quality lighting, you might have realised that I've swopped our previous adiasam&amandainaband photo to some other retarded shots.

Have I told you lately that I... love the three gals. and yes, we're still called Adia, Sam and Amanda in a band - or however order you want to place it. The School of Biological Science(SBS) people, however, call us the ADMers. Was blessed with another gig for their SBS day. Sang songs like A-Team (hence the lyrics on hand- I swear, those lyrics are a killer, but sshh), Can't Help Falling in Love, Pumped Up Kicks and many others. We were fairly unprepared because it was literally crunch time for all of us... but Sam and Adia did a splendid job scatting and doing their amazing runs. Till next time~
On court
Inter-hall games (IHG) came and went all too quickly.
There goes my excuses for late night suppers.
Give me love #edsheeren
Girly photos in pale faded pastels & light leaks, have overspilled from listography.blogspot to my instagram. Currently, my usual subject matters don't vary a lot- ordinary objects over white wash backgrounds, for the simple reason that it brings focus to all its micro details, e.g texture colour and space. I see Tumblr's evolved to a commercialized phone app? Along goes with the stereotypes of brainless-and-only-pretty-vintage photos on the feed.
As like any other, first week of school was a complete nuisance, accompanied with attempts to be sociable, less than perfect netball matches and accidental Marilyn Monroe incidents. I have leaders challenging me to question my existence and purpose for being in NTU. Perhaps mundane object photography is just what I need to hide behind a lot of pressing issues yet faced. Nevertheless, no fret. Things will get better.
Note to self: Tomorrow's a newdayweek.
it's a struggle just keeping sight of who you are
I'm sorry for canceling/postponing our meet ups &*esp to Adelia for not getting her a proper bday present. Terribly sorry. Been so caught up with school life/the workload's piling. Wish everything would just slow down for abit for a breather. Love & miss you guys tons.
