For the past three months or so, I've spent almost every morning waiting for the postman to bring the mail and hopefully, parcels. Yes, this girl had discovered the joys of Mastercard. Now that I'm back in uni, I've occasionally asked home whether I'd received any packages. Okay, maybe not occasionally. It's been less than two weeks since I've left ( Read more... )

In case you're wondering why there's an update despite it being a weekday, well, I have a day off! Kinda. :P

Yesterday was a long, long day. But it was one of the most awesome I've had in a long time for three reasons.

1. We finally got our timetable for the semester and it's wicked awesome! We have Fridays off! That means a three-day weekend!

My romanised name is Ooi Phaik Chern (in the Hokkien dialect). In Mandarin, it's pronounced 'Huang Bi-juan' and in Cantonese, 'Wong Bik-gyun'. All in all, it's down to the Chinese characters.

黃 huáng | wong (yellow, a surname)

Tomorrow's (well, technically, today) the opening night of Twelfth Night! Have been busier than ever which explains the lack of updates! I've fallen behind on my f-list but then, don't worry, I'll catch up soon! It's just that June is a really hectic month for me and I'll have time once mid-July comes. I have an assignment and presentation due on ( Read more... )

Apart from dropping off the Livejournal planet, I'd also dropped off the picspamming one, but now I'm back! This will be the first the_friday_spam picspam I've done in about six months. The images are mostly from Michelle's Hong Kong series, The Season of Fate, a mainland China one, Da Yahuan and one from the Guangdong ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I went on a photo shoot with Clayton Chew (he's building up his portfolio), dude from college, just for the heck of it. It wasn't too bad for someone who didn't know how to pose at all - I didn't even attempt to. More than half of the time, they made me just stare at the camera. I got why when I saw the images. :) So here is it, Cara Ooi ( Read more... )

These questions are from the Resistance is Futile meme quite some time ago. roselafleur  gave me the following questions and I never got around to answering them because of the first question (I needed time to think it out and find the appropriate images; shuddup, you know I picspam everything).

1. Create your dream show/film. Who's in it and what's it ( Read more... )

A Michelle Yim picspam. ♥

Made for the_friday_spam.

Here's something a little unusual for me because I rarely post anything about Asian entertainment. Going through images of Michelle Yim (shut up, you know that's what I do when I find a new person :P), I realized that the costumes of her recent works (from 2008 to 2009) are absolutely gorgeous. The details and ( Read more... )
