breakfast

hello there.
wah im half scared, half excited about the exams.
the semesters just fly by nowadays,
theres barely time for consideration.
time to study like a rock star,
in pursuit of As and more As.
and just wanted to say i rly love my lit mods this sem,
would be quite a bonus if i did well in all of em.

studies aside,
everything else's been too much of a good thing.









halloween at joyce's with the dancesport darlings.





our legendary series of multi shots,
super stop motion worthy.















our awesome blk 40 bbq supper on a random night.







holga baby.



















our fondue lunch and dinner.
so win.



at the arts house.





love,
saffie.

chapters

hair today,
and gone tomorrow.
i secretly find it very liberating with a short crop,
even though my ballet teacher wouldnt approve.
well ive seen better days than this,
but still i fall prey to the paper chase.
essay fatigue hits me every weekend,
but thank god for fridays.

to all my favourite people in this world,
its only gonna get bettr okay.
and to the ones i havent had a chance to meet up yet,
i missed yall so much.
decluttering my life was harder than id imagined.

you're not alone here yknow.

orko drinking session one late night.
spilling hearts and whiskey.
happy belated bday to lord kai hahaha.









bel and jiechao's bdays, and gerald's farewell party at SMU.

butterfly

hullo.
you were dearly missed.

i had quite an awesome recess week,
bukit tabur trekking trip, CDP101 assessment, dancesport tango workshop, mambo with orko lovelies and the likes.

bye hair,
here today and gone tomorrow.

there,
snippets of the holidays begone.
the week immediately after,
i was bombarded with so many essays it was hard to breathe.









lazy lomo days.











































aye im so weary,
but dance keeps me pretty damn alive.
nothing like flexing some footwork on the dancefloor.
nothing like a midweek rendezvous in the studio hahaha.
eat, sleep, study, sing, dance.
sounds good to me.

wah lau i mustve watched madame butterfly at least thrice this week.

love,
saffie.

|

space

hullo.
this is crazy,
but this is kinda nothing new.
rambling weekends filled with insane amounts of peace, love and ice cream;
and sometimes the unraveling of truth, at times heartbreaking yet joyful.
see this is how vague i shall go.
because sometimes the closer you look, the less pretty the sight gets.
dont go having too much expectations,
just smile and bear with me for alil while.
(:

mini cubo outing at brewerkz.
serious death by buffalo wings.

spotlight

hello hello.
its been some weekend.
ive spent alot of time thinking, musing,
and have come to the conclusion that nothing beats doing what you love and loving what you do.
that aside, and the expectations that others have bestowed upon you.
too many factors come into consideration,
guess i couldve been none the wiser.
but we'll see.

hall 7 prometheus production on friday!
a close to full house attendance made all the difference i think.
thankyou to the darlings who so willingly bought tickets from me,
and thankyou to all my fellow casts and the crew involved.
its been some insane months in lieu of this production,
tho i really did loved the whole process.
am secretly hoping we could stage a musical next year haha.
