Could you possibly hope for a boy prettier than him?! Love his piercing eyes.Since blogger has been partially down for a while now, I am doing a photo blog entry, using photos I've been wanting to use for quite some time now. A few posts back, I mentioned Jillian Michaels from "The Biggest Loser".
For some strange reason, all the trainers have really white teeth which, I suspect, weren't that white in the first place. Her nose is a little weird, but she's still pretty hot.
I was pretty busy today. Awoke early so I could meet V at Dhoby Ghaut, where she had to buy yarn for a new project. We picked a bright yellow colour, quite lovely, really. Then, we went to "Saybons" where we had our breakfast: A really tasty cup of warm mushroom soup, with warm, crispy pieces of bread for dipping. I had sundried tomato bread, V had garlic bread. Whoa, if French people eat like that all the time, I want to be French!After breakfast, we took the MRT down to City Hall, to Esplanade for me to study. I promised myself I would, and I did. I managed to finish a Maths paper 1, timed, although it was a bit distracting, what with V laughing at herself and the air-conditioner blasting right at us. Still, it was really nice of V to stay with me while I studied, even though her exams are over now. She crocheted while I did my Maths. After I finished, we went up to the library to borrow videos and stuff.
I went straight to the score section first, hoping to find a book of French Melodies. After a lot of looking, I finally found it, and I went mad. Ha! I've been trying to look for the piece "Nocturne" by Franck, but the internet didn't give me the results I wanted. I also found "Automne" by Faure, and the nice photocopy lady let me photocopy the scores even though I didn't have a cashcard.
As for videos, I borrowed a couple of artistic foreign films such as "Pepe el Toro" and "Les enfants du paradis". I also borrowed "Bedazzled" and "Kindergarten Cop".
I just watched "Bedazzled", and it's quite heart-warming. It casts an entirely different light on good and evil, and I loved the part where Brendan Fraser met God in jail. Lovely, wise words spoken.
When we were satisfied with our videos and stuff, we headed down to Takashimaya where we had a late lunch of cheesy noodles with egg. Mmm. Then, we walked to HMV to check out my Monteverdi CD. The guy said they didn't have any in stock, and if I wanted it, it would have to be a "special order". So, I placed an order, just like I did with "Opium". Am really excited, and I hope they do bring it in for me.
I've been craving new music for a while now, I've been borrowing music from the library @ Esplanade, but it simply isn't enough! All the Mozart is starting to sound the same, and I can't seem to find orchestral music by Handel, and I've heard so much lute music that there's no more for me to borrow. Vivaldi is still refreshing, most of his music don't resemble each other, but it's mostly instrumental, so hours of listening to his music makes me feel sleepy and zaps me of my energy and concentration.
Am feeling quite tired, but I can't go to bed until my videos are completely converted and uploaded to my player. I keep stumbling upon videos of Philippe Jaroussky that I haven't seen before, and it's good, only I would want to put them in my player and that's a troublesome process. I've been having problems getting to sleep at night again. The minute I turn off my bedside light and hit the pillow, my mind starts racing, and my sister's working late and making noise isn't helping. I tried playing my ukelele before bedtime, but it didn't work. In fact, I stayed awake for most of the night! I did, however, manage to come up with some new tunes. When I awake in the morning, I don't feel rested enough, but Dad says I sleep too much and I should wake early and study. Bullshit. I'm barely getting the sleep I need.
I don't know what it is, but I'm eating a kiwi now to help me sleep tonight. It helps, a little. I hope it works tonight, I haven't gotten a good night's sleep in a week.
