america's next top maid

yay i'm back! back emotionally at least.. wow.. this semester has really been.. well.. i think interesting is too mild to describe. well, it's been filled with pain, sorrow, anguish but yeah, hopefully now it's time for renewal, healing and chockful of God's grace and love. lol... ok i'm being cryptic.

aniwez, here's some rants i've stored up from watching a whole slew of TV shows

- thalia would you PLEASE LEAVE MY SCREEN. honestly, i'm not trying to be insensitive to burn victims but the fact remains that if you WEREN'T a burn victim, your chance of getting onto ANTM would be MUCH lesser than is the case now. you're NOT modelesque, so just look into the mirror, face the facts and stop whining! omg.. thalia makes me think the M of the show's title is Maid. -_-

- amazing race bores me. moving along. and btw, i still wanna rant about CBS' inane decision to put TAR at 8.00pm sundays because it ANNOYS the heck out of me that i try to watch the show at 8.00pm but get to see old farts on 60 minutes spew verbose trash at me for nearly an hour.

- heroes seems to be finally getting back on course thanks to a certain mr fuller. loved tracy's frozen carpark scene but HATES the fact that just about every single interesting, fun, female in the show has been killed (r.i.p elle, daphne, tracy, nikki, eden, candace) whilst who have a whole slew of useless males running amok on the streets (yes I mean you Mohinder)

- big bang theory. yay for nerds! haha

i KNOW i'm supposed to blog about my trip. but i really do have tons of work. so we'll see. zzz

the anatomy of an spring break - photo-preview

haha.. hopefully i can finally actually blog out my spring break without it halting at the first slew of people-less shots. i humbly present the grande tour to iceland.. =)



pingvellir, or what they call parliament rock. i had to take my emo dusk shots


view atop pingvellir


visitor center atop pingvellir. my first attempt at this was a disaster bcos my 'models' just stood there without any hand motions and the likes. lol


nice shoes


lake @ pingvellir. apparently singapore is 8 times the size of this lake.


our rented cars. there was so much drama over the cars, from getting stuck in mud, snow, sand, getting parking tickets, getting stopped by police, getting impounded. you get the idea


gulfoss. amazingly beautiful place


some random bridge in the middle of nowhere


skogar falls peeking out


i spy a rainbow


view from climbing skogar


nippon paint skies, rainbow, waterfall. what more could u ask for?


emo shot 2 @ black sand beach


another perspective. here was where i took my super-poser shot that's now proudly on my facebook. shameless aint i


hali


ice lagoon. we went there to see seals, but the scenery was pretty remarkable. it was like walking in a snow desert


shadow shot number 2


snow desert part 2


some people found the buildings in iceland boring. i felt they perfectly complemented the surroundings


shadow shot number 3! this time in skatafel whilst walking on a glacier


ice cave


omg we walked 4 hours for this shot of an unknown canyon -_-


in Tjornin, Reykjavik


view from a kitschy restaurant where i had fish number 1: cod. (fyi, the next meal was halibut, followed by pliace, followed by wolf fish, followed by salmon. ahhh life)


swan lake. ok lame


around blue lagoon. i couldn't be bothered taking picture within blue lagoon cos it was just. so. damn. shiok to just relax around the waters


cutesy Reykjavik art


the landmark of Reykjavik in scaffolding. -_-.. off-season foibles


more Tjornin


ok thats it for the peopleless shots. hopefully more coming up
