Death Cab for Cutie

Hello!

I'm finally getting through the stack of readings that has been languishing in various places of my existence [the shadow of them in my mind... the stack on the floor... the random pieces on my desk... the bundles of them in my bag...] and I've realized that some of them are actually rather interesting! *shock*

But anyway...

I've been hooked on listening to Death Cab for Cutie on repeat recently.. X__X And this is after creating my Japanese study playlist! (T_T) Don't worry, I'm not abandoning Gackt just yet... But Death Cab for Cutie has such calming songs that's great to study to. Haha.=P And somehow they remind me of Coldplay in the quiet, yet nice song kind of way. I don't even know if that makes sense..^_^"

I like them so much, I bought their CD on Amazon! Waiting for it to arrive~ Along with my dessert book!!! On reintepreting Asian desserts.=D Can't wait! [I can experiment after exams~ YAY!]

Another thing I've been drooling over [actually, I've been drooling over her photography for ages, but I just never posted them..] are these photos by this professional photographer from Singapore who is our age and is a friend of a friend!

Isn't that cool?

Anyway:


Snagged from her website zemotion.


I adore the way she can capture motion, emotions, and detail all at the same time.=)


She's done high fashion shoots, advertising shoots, runway shoots, and goodness knows what else. I guess if you've got talent, you really should go all out to pursue your passion while you can! ^_^

It's kind of hard to imagine that she's the same age as we are.=)

And today we were talking about what classes we're taking next semester and everything.. I realized that while it's important to fulfill all the requirements for my majors.. I should go do some B-school classes and other random classes that I think I'll like! Because despite academics being very important, I think learning and growing is important too.^_^ But GL and I are doing dance together next semester!! I'm very excited~

Next winter though, it'll be time to look through the b-school list and see what marketing, organizational behavior/psychology classes they might offer.=)

It'll soon be my turn to find that niche in life. It's probably not going to lie in schoolwork or academics.. [hence the stacks of readings that I'm still going through.. And undone papers.. Ahh..] And probably not the kitchen either [not talented enough..], although I realized that I really must either find a lot of technical books or just go to baking school because I have so many questions and no answers! =( Hmm. I guess everyone has a niche somewhere, even if they don't, there's a compromise you can make or find. And so to seek out that place in life is something that most people aim for...

I wonder where it'll be?

cheers
