When I read that model Daul Kim was found dead in Paris this morning, I was shocked. I have always admired her body of work as a model, her blog and videos are entertaining, plus she grew up in Singapore. Apparent suicide at the age of 20. To be young and beautiful with a future ahead of her, I wonder what pushed her over the edge? Perhaps how Korean netizens were on her case over a nude modeling gig she did, and we all know how they are. May justice be upon them for their viciousness, not only in this case but the many incidences of Korean celebrity suicides resulting from these netizens' words and actions. And why did Daul give in - if only she hung on and sought the help she needed. I can never comprehend how anyone can take their own life, no matter how tough the world is for one.

Making things more depressing, she blogged yesterday with the title "say hi to forever". Rest in peace Daul.

I cannot believe this, I actually miss school. Not so much the studying part, but the rushing off to classes, having erratic sleeping times, being under pressure from assignments and all. At least I somehow manage to have more of a social life than I do now. Ever since returning from the cottage and Montréal, both I also miss greatly, my life has revolved around waking up at the dawn of the day to work, lazing around upon returning home in the afternoon, falling asleep till dinnertime, then heading back to bed at hours that will make my mum proud.

January cannot come sooner! Oh, last night I officially indicated my intent of graduation for the June 2010 Convocation! (:

I hate being a lazy bum. Especially when there is a mountain high of errands to do, like clean the house, laundry, books to read, things to learn. My mind lists the items to do at the start of each day right before work, I get home and that mental list evaporates. Believe me when I beat myself over it when I turn it at night. More to do another day, I tell myself.

But sometimes, one gets too lazy trying not to be lazy. So the cycle persists.

YYYs should do a purely acoustic album.

A new look for my blog. It was time to retire the old layout seeing how that has been in place for some years now. I am very pleased with how this turned out.


The three most eventful activities during my absence here have got to be:

1) Being away from the city at a cottage for one full week with people I enjoy being with.










2) Visiting Montréal my very first time with my siblings during Thanksgiving weekend. Met Yixuan, who is on an exchange, there too.


















3) Attending Mika's concert the Thanksgiving Monday straight after returning from Montréal.






There are so many pictures and videos to choose from - just looking at them again bring back plenty of good memories! I miss Montréal, tremendously! I do hope we get to go on another mini-Canadian trip soon. Perhaps Ottawa, Vancouver...? Also, I definitely have to work on getting licensed to drive, learning to play the guitar again, and picking up the Korean language. If I might say myself, I appear busier even with my supposed semester off from school.

But till then, I am volunteering with the World Wildlife Fund which hopefully will serve as a good job prospect in the future, and I will be working at Indigo for the holiday season (6AM shifts god dammit!). Christmas is in less than 2 months!

C'est moi. Désolé, j'ai eu peu d'heure au blog parce que je prends à un cours en français cet été. C'est difficile, mais j'aime apprendre une nouvelle langue. Je réussirai!
