The Fruit of Distractions
Saturday, April 10, 2010


Harriet can't believe she has to say goodbye to her favourite fictional homo, Marc St. James, next week. There won't be anyone as funny or fabulous.


Isn't he and Amanda the sweetest? Makes Harriet want a homo bestie to walk arm in arm too.

Anyways, Harriet already found the replacement, Kurt Hummel, from Glee! Move over now, Marc, go join Maxxie ;D

He's a gem and the show is so gooood. Great songs and Harriet doesn't have to be all emo to lose a homo. :D

From your most unathletic pf
Sunday, March 14, 2010


Harriet makes it a point to go cycling at least once a week. Now that the bike is in campus. Maybe Harriet can go cycling FIVE.TIMES.A.WEEK. Jokes aside. The real point of this post is how Harriet got her bike into campus.

As a habit, Harriet gets up at 830 on weekends just to go cycling before the sun gets too harsh, but you'll still be expecting to see Harriet in arm sleeves and gloves. Harriet can't stress sun damage enough. The ride was great until Harriet hit Nanyang Circle.

The chain on Harriet's bike got stuck in the gears and then you have all the fatigue kicking in from the slopes.THE BEST PART had got to be getting your monthly crampies with it. Harriet pushed her bike a little upslope before abandoning it by the road. Harriet continued along the road seeing dark flashes. Thrice, Harriet had to sit down by the road and twice sprawled on the grass letting ants run all over Harriet.

Harriet took a good 20 on what usually takes her 5. After lots of water, Harriet commuted back to her grandmother's place and that went fine so was the rest of the day. Harriet wore a dress with flowy sleeves to see Alice. No 3D though. Maybe next week. The sleeves definitely makes Harriet want to twirl around like Anne Hathaway in the movie! <3

Harriet doesn't remember the html code for putting links under text and my editor on Android only helps me with some formatting. Oh hay! Harriet is no longer such a g33k! /achievement

Having said, pfs you'll get an OMGLONGGG URL link to the map I tracked myself with GPS on an awsome app called My Track. It's Android exclusive. Take that iPhone!

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=208967662780397182260.000481b8a5dc8c2ddc0a0

Aren't you happy Harriet is making proper boring posts instead of crazy tweets on here? Harriet have been productively writing on/waiting for the bus/cab ;D

FIVE.TIMES.A.WEEK
Saturday, March 13, 2010


Harriet's buddies at school are funny. we love saying FIVE TIMES A WEEK!!!!! ala Okto commercial like it's Spongebob Squarepants!

Dear pfs, what can't you say "five times a week" in the same sentence? Harriet can't say "Econometrics". With all most respect, econometrics is for the godly smartness.

Obviously, Harriet is ignoring the fact that she has CA "five times a week!" next week ^_^b

quick post from Harriet's new love
Tuesday, March 9, 2010


Harriet went to a Polyclinic yesterday. The doctor said she had a sensitive nose and gave her a nose spray. It turns out to be rather expensive and its a steriod. Harriet's concerned mother forbade her to touch the steroids. Therefore, Harriet will continue to have to sleep 10 hours a day and no less.

BTW. the Google phone is one AMAZING device.

edit: I can't edit posts on the phone for some strange reason

Failing words
Sunday, December 13, 2009


Kyaaaaaaaa~~~~~~~~~~
Harriet is totally losing her appetite because
1. She doesn't want to leave Maastricht
2. There is ten gazillion things to take care of before she leaves
3. Another ten gazillion things when returning to Singapore
4. _________________
5. There are exams in 4 more days

All's been going well so far but Harriet can't help to worry (;゚Д゚)

So maybe some cold air will help the nerves later. It finally hits below zero

Now, it's time to enjoy music - Chiaki sama (Nodame Cantabile)

Nodame Cantabile: The Final Score coming this Holiday season. Harriet can't wait to see Chiaki-sama, Mine-kun and all the rest of the cast again and everything is filmed in Europe! *prays really hard it will be brought to Singapore*

Harriet watches wayyyy too much Nodame and since the SP season, Nodame was filmed in so many awesome concert halls and it has become Harriet's dream to at least attend one of those. Watch the trailers pls ;D

Harriet is going to Barcelona this weekend~ Harriet loves cultural things, even more so if it's a UNESCO World Heritage site ♥ it's definitely not helping Harriet's lack of sociability

The picture is the view of Harriet's seat for a concert at Palau De La Música Catalana~! Orchestra+ Modernist/Art Nouveau+Unicorns on the wall = win. Harriet also ♥ the booking system that shows you the view of EVERY single seat.

oooo, Harriet is making a post from Flickr *Harriet is bewildered by why she's amused by that*

Stars
Thursday, November 12, 2009


Nakashima Mika just released a new single, Nageareboshi. It's stuck on repeat in Harriet's iTunes :3
Harriet been a loyal Mika fan since SEVEN and especially loves the "Star" theme ballads.


Harriet loves watching Mika's lives. It's impactful, though Harriet is not so big on the couching when Mika hits the high notes. This stage is quite similar to her performance at Kouhaku Uta Gassen last year. Probably one of those set ups that looks cool but is actually really simple. Harriet is guessing Mika will sing Nagareboshi at Kouhaku this year. \(^o^)/

Btw, Harriet did see 2 shooting stars while she is in Germany. If the skies are clear and dark, it's not difficult to see. Unfortunately it's not quite possible in urban areas. No, Harriet did not make wishes, because she was already having the best time of her life.

Crafting want
Sunday, November 1, 2009


Harriet checks her LJ and discovers a post on making jewelery from Shrink Plastic. Some sort of nostalgia takes over and urges Harriet to run out to buy Shrink Plastic! Then of course, Harriet would trawl the interwebs for more tutorials before starting anything and eventually forgetting about it. ;D

Harriet would like to do:
shrinky8XChanel_rub_on_bracelets
via: PlanetJune and JAK&JIL

Harriet thought the Chanel Rub-on are pretty ingenious in a way. Somethimes Harriet wonder how far would brand whoring go. (Harriet does a shameless plug for her friend's fashion blog there, but it's cool, really cool. Read it.)

And of course, another way to work with shrink plastic. Harriet cannot resist swirly patterns.

Aachen was made of Shiny


Harriet went to Aachen today to meet someone new. A little more about that here. Harriet had lots of German food today and it was fantastic!

Germany's first UNESCO World Heritage Site is there!
R0010548 copy
The day turned out so beautiful, the skies had crazy blue saturation in photos.
It's difficult to tell it's Germany's first UNESCO from the outside, a mixture of different architectural styles. The inside is surprisingly small too but it was covered in amazing mosaic and they mosaics were shiny! :3 but then they charge 2 euros to take pictures and Harriet thought she'd do without.

Work Hard, Play even Harder
Tuesday, October 27, 2009


Harriet is back from the Rhines, the Moselles, Hergé museum and Brussels Art Nouveau Biennale~! The trip was amazing, though weather wasn't the greatest and some places Harriet wanted to see were closed. Harriet bought back 300 photos, 3 more Tintin goods, a healthy dose of cardio and lungs filled with fresh air and perhaps some scrapes from falling off her bike.

Harriet has 2 subjects this block and it's a lot of reading and presentations! Harriet will try harder! Go go Harriet!

Anyways, Harriet is having a bit of problem with her photos.... Harriet shoots in RAW format in highest resolutions, so she used up the entire of an 8 gb SD card and she has no disk space to edit them ;A; The external drive Harriet bought with her is unreliable! >8( There will only be two photos today!

Harriet tried using Adobe Lightroom! This one is my favourite shot of the entire trip. Mainly because Harriet is a sucker for coin souvenirs and the photo did not require editing except for cropping an Lightroom added my camera model. Harriet is delightfully surprised by how well the camera handles macro shots!

R0010392
The coin is from Burg Eltz. It comes with the guide tour of the castle. Harriet hiked 90 minutes to get up to the castle and it was well worth it! If you know Harriet well enough, you'd know Harriet is deathly afraid of heights and hiking is quite a task for her. Harriet thinks Burg Eltz comparable to Neuschwanstein and they serve delicious homemade wine up there. Harriet should make another post about the castles she's been to. They are totally a league of its own.

Here's another favourite thing from the trip!
R0010455
It's the audio guide from the Hergé museum! Yes! It has a touch screen and it plays videos and quizzes throughout the tour! Adds an amazing experience to the museum, where the exhibits itself is awesome enough.

Harriet shall go do her readings now, she has more epic weekends ahead! A trip to Aachen this week and Stockholm the next. Herlina is in Stockholm! Harriet hopes to see her soon!

Not your average spot
Tuesday, October 20, 2009


It's been quite a while, Harriet missed every one! How's everyone doing? Harriet is having a great time in Maastricht!
Our Princesses need to update more! Harriet feels a bit disappointed when she visits PF and no new updates.... ;A;

Anyways, Harriet's received her new camera. It's has a super wide angle lens and it even has an electronic thing that tells you if you are holding the camera straight. Doubles as a spirit level. Awesome! ^-^v Now Harriet no longer has excuse not to update or at least she can pic spam. Yeah! BABY~~

It's exam week for everyone, but not for Harriet this time. Harriet only need to write a paper, so today Harriet took her bike out to print her report (Harriet spent 3 euros on colour printing her 11 page report @_@ Harriet shouldn't be so OCD *repeat 200 times*) and made a detour to the coolest places in Maastricht. That is the only one place Harriet knew about before arriving in Maastricht.
R0010117

Harrriet is kidding about going every Sunday. No offense either. It's just two of Harriet's favourite kind of places combined in one. Ironically enough, Harriet love going to book stores but no longer read books and visits churches but is not affiliated to the religion in anyway. Perhaps it's the calming atmosphere both of them have. Good reason to put them together, probably.
R0010119
Well actually, Harriet read about a bookstore/library inside a church in some design journal a few years ago. Harriet stepped in the place feeling like it's a dream come true but don't quite remember what it is. This bookstore is designed by Merkx + Girod and they won an award for it, que design journal.

Anyways it's just all sorts of awesome.
R0010121
None of these metal structures touches the original church structures. Double-P! Preservation and practicality.

R0010123/
Stairway to heaven. Now in Chrome.
You can actually still see bits of frescoes on the ceiling.

R0010125
So close you can touch the arches.
Btw, as much as Harriet likes visiting churches and cathedrals, Harriet never climb the towers because she is deathly afraid of heights =3=;

R0010127
View from the top

R0010126
This is the image that snapped I've seen this place before and the feeling of Deja-Vu subsides. It's the cross shaped table. There are magazines running inside the cross. Harriet thinks the chandelier and table is a nice reinterpretation of the religious/historic features.

(Harriet likes it so much she goes there every Sunday! ;D 6 more fotoes under the cut)

That's all until next time!
More travelling, castles, world heritage and art nouveau biennale~ ❤

Harriet's OK
Monday, August 31, 2009


So Harriet arrived in Maastricht, and she's making so much resolutions she's hardly keeping up.

Anyways, Harriet busted her camera and her back up one has a screen sooooo puny, Harriet is discouraged from taking any pictures. Sorry everyone, you'll no longer have pic spams from Harriet. Harriet might get the picture of herself squirming after a sip of beer from her friend, but no promises yes?

For madame, stroopwaffles are probably the best dutch food they have and honestly it's not good to sell. Unless someone knows what they are, the waffles usually look like big biscuits in a caramel plastered bag, not appetizing at all.

Taa for now, Harriet will have to brave the morning cold for class tommorrow and hopefully her laundry in the dryer labelled in dutch only will be okay. Harriet's laundry is going through the third 40-min cycle because the two wasn't enough. Apparently, leaving it in the dryer overnight works so Harriet is going try it.

Brussels and Amsterdam
Friday, August 21, 2009


Brussels, the city of Art Nouveau, comics (Tintin <3), chocolate, mussels yada yada yada. Surprisingly, the area Harriet stayed in was so ghetto, Harriet freaked out big time. But still it's a freaking awesome city, Harriet didn't have enough time to visit everything.

Man reading a comic in the Art Nouveau Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert


Amsterdam was so colourful, shopping is such a joy. Oh well, it wasn't like there was much to see, so Harriet was shopping instead.....
