drifting in and out of my senses. do i need this? I don't feel myself anymore, it's as though my life is slowly seeping out of me. I feel like shit. It's January now, i just want the next months ahead to be better

2011-12-25T23:33:00.002+08:00

so tired of it all...and i wonder if this is it.

more importantly, Feliz Navidad! xx

2011-10-11T11:14:00.002+08:00

amidst a pretty hectic period in uni, stuffing myself with KFC, cake, gummy bears, coffee(lots of it) and lots and lots of political economy nonsense. i'm alr a day late.... i have less than 2 hrs....before it becomes two days late.

on a side note... actually i'd prefer a side dish...i'm hungry.

2011-08-10T20:23:00.003+08:00

sometimes, all you need to do is, to just do. why bother asking? because if you really mean to do the things you say you want to do, you'll just do it. that's if, you really mean it.

...

2011-05-24T15:37:00.001+08:00

so struck by beautiful things

2011-05-04T17:24:00.000+08:00

so hungry, imma eat some kellogg's

2011-04-21T16:29:00.002+08:00

I'm not the sorta person to tell you something in your face- unless you actually do have something on your face, of course. I'm feeling so betrayed at the moment. If you have nothing better to say, don't say anything at all. because you're just gonna fucking cause someone to feel hurt without knowing it.

2010-11-04T11:44:00.002+08:00

Breakfast: Plain french vanilla yoghurt topped off with partially crumbed chocolate covered scottish fingers

This was really good, I particularly love the crumbling in of any biscuits or dried fruit into my yoghurt. some kitchen action on my study table hee

2010-11-04T06:30:00.002+08:00

My hope is in You

2010-11-03T13:06:00.003+08:00

lunch:half boiled eggs with english muffins drizzled with organic honey from a flea market

i eat eggs a lot in sydney..so simple and fast to cook! I cook my eggs in my electric kettle, so proud of my kettle. it's the most handy appliance in my room- after my laptop.

life's small solitary pleasures.

2010-10-30T15:14:00.002+08:00

i think i can say that i'm very happy

look at 'happy', and say it to yourself 20 times, it would seem like an abnormal construction of letters. try it! :-D

2010-10-23T11:37:00.001+08:00

2000 word essay, need coffeee

2010-10-18T14:12:00.001+08:00

her hair is beautiful. i take back every word i said about wanting a short-do.

2010-10-18T14:09:00.002+08:00

Flies are everywhere now, and so is the heat. mouths should be closed at all times, to prevent misadventures ;-) hi sis.

Songs by Sia are beautiful, currently on replay.

confusion seems so faraway, it's never been this way. ever. but why?

2010-10-11T07:22:00.001+08:00

hi. why am I here? I have an essay due in a few hours, and i'm not even half-way.

2010-10-09T09:20:00.002+08:00

I'm in dire need of getting into full Karl Polanyi mode

Random thought: I look at the time and the minutes always seem to be at 25...well i guess just majority of the time, i just looked at the time and it read 24.

Random thought2: my life cannot go on without God and inspiring photographs of any kind

2010-10-06T12:23:00.003+08:00

Sydney's 3hrs ahead now.

so SOO distracted at the moment...and i have two major essays due soon. i needta talk to my sister

2010-09-19T13:56:00.004+08:00

i'm absolutely not in the mood to analyse poems for my assignment. i'm not in the mood for assignments at all but unfortunately, i have one due tomorrow and another due on friday. vintage shopping yesterday, and i bought a pretty 80s dress in vintage Indian cotton- in fact, i will google Indian cotton right now

2010-09-17T15:53:00.004+08:00

yesterday, bought a collared blue shirt that has retro prints all over it at an opt shop. my sister and i love opt shops and fleas now. although we're not at the same place, we make sure we show each other our buys at the end of the day. like the times two months ago, just that we'd be in the shop together picking out stuff together and going to the changing room together. so basically it just isn't the same. a time like this just makes us hope for time to pass a lot more quickly

2010-09-16T13:48:00.003+08:00

survived a huge sociology essay! hoorayy! It was an assiduous task. Then again, it was a mere 1200 words.. BUT then again, I've not written an essay in a long long while.

Tonight we go to the city for korean food! Then tomorrow we go to Bondi to bask in the tangerine sun

2010-09-14T21:17:00.002+08:00

so elegant and poised, i like this scene.

2010-09-12T11:09:00.003+08:00

One of my solitary breakfasts weeks ago

yesterday was at surry hills and paddington. today's at home with sociology, my best friend for the next three days.

2010-09-10T22:03:00.002+08:00

i just found out that I have an assignment due on monday arghhhh i'm so tired but I must finish it tonight because I have a major essay due wednesday and my neighbours are making alien noises and singing at the top of their lungs downstairs. what's wrong with these people?! It has been awhile since I stayed up to do an assignment. I remember not liking it very much.

2010-09-10T16:08:00.007+08:00

Wine reduced Pear Tart for Breakfast, very fancy and equally delicious

Steak and Mushroom Pie

sometimes, pictures are all that's needed- no need for words.

2010-09-08T10:23:00.002+08:00

I have this great urge to go on a diet but I know it's just not going to work out. It's just not. Skipped two lectures today and now we're going to have pancakes. i feel like Humpty dumpty in the making

2010-09-07T13:42:00.002+08:00

no words are lucid enough to express its beauty.

2010-09-06T08:02:00.004+08:00

we're into the sixth day of spring, switched on my fan for the first time also because I had a bee land on my window frame in my room and I almost suffered a panic attack. It was pretty funny because I heard a buzz and I said a silent 'thank God' under my breath, thinking a bee just buzzed past my window..until I lifted my head to double check (you can never be sure) AND LO AND BEHOLD.. I sprang up from my chair and grabbed my hoodie thing and put it on as fast as my hands would allow and pulled the hood violently over my head and held it tight around my face and I just stood there..staring at it...thinking hard and praying harder...and then after what seemed like an unbelievably long time.. it buzzed out of my room.. and this time, I said a high-sounding thank God and closed my window- and it's going to remain closed forever.

2010-09-03T09:01:00.003+08:00

Ola! Today I miss Singapore more than I have since I got here. Sydney's getting warmer by the day, praise God for that! Today I must study for my test. Linguistics is currently the worst subject for me. I thought I would like it, but it doesn't seem to be growing on me. I'm growing side ways. I miss my friends and family. I'm happy with my reactions. I'm not talking sense. I should get on with my work. tata

2010-08-31T14:11:00.002+08:00

I wonder if I'd ever get a hair-cut like this. The last couple of days had me thinking of getting a shorter do. This would be extreme..but I do like this.

2010-08-27T09:10:00.003+08:00

laughed so loud when I read there's centre wing. right, left and centre wing. GOOD GRIEF!! Why is politics so complicated???

had a great solitary breakfast this morning, i love mornings- that is when I actually wake up in time for it haha.

2010-08-24T15:27:00.005+08:00

this is perfect...and the shoes..omgosh the shoes are beyond perfect.

I really like menswear right now, it's growing on me

2010-08-24T14:12:00.003+08:00

flirting with the BIG idea, big plan...basically a venture.

we're quite big girls with big BIG plans

2010-08-20T13:40:00.004+08:00

baked lamb and rosemary sausages

i love little hidden cafes. sydney's pretty big, so i'm sure they have plenty more of these. This one's clipper, pretty nice.

2010-08-17T15:09:00.001+08:00

why am i going back again?

2010-08-14T11:30:00.004+08:00

Had the BEST churros ever last night, and I ate like a pig yesterday.

2010-08-12T17:50:00.002+08:00

I had a horrible start to the morning because I woke up too late for a lecture and a tutorial, and had originally planned for breakfast at 8AM. clearly failed

Attempting to study now, but it's not really working. Im rather worried for myself, the consequence of not needing to study for 1.5 years is clearly showing.

I should attempt at the books once more

2010-08-10T15:37:00.002+08:00

I dream that I got a tattoo on my wrist that read ' i love heineken'...I woke up thanking God it was all a dream.

Never knew changing bedsheets could take up ounces of my energy, I feel as though I've acquired muscles from all that stretching and arranging my blanket that weighs about a ton.

today's so rainy and gloomy... makes one miss people so much

2010-08-08T09:56:00.002+08:00

Brunch was soooo gooood... Couldn't wait to post this!

It's 11:59am, work begins in a minute. Major assignment due tomorrow. SCREW THAT! I'm gonna go dance around in my room to MGMT.

2010-08-03T14:42:00.002+08:00

Yesterday was pretty interesting:

the wind was so strong that I felt as if I would be blown faraway, wherever it wanted to take me- preferably singapore hehe- and my umbrella was blown inside out. We went delirious because of the cold, it happens quite often here.

and then for the first time in my life, I tried spoonfuls of nutella and cold milk. yum..it was delectably sinful.

The week seems to be picking up, and tonight, we'll be dining at a friend's. Home-made rice (haha!) wrapped in mushroomy egg. anything home-made seems rather appealing at the moment

2010-07-31T12:20:00.002+08:00

Here's a view of puffy smoke -fireworks, to be exact- and the silhouette of trees from my room. I love the view, it's very pleasant.

It's very hard to study in my room because I always seem to be distracted. Like today, I woke up, washed up, dried my hair, prepared breakfast, made coffee, took out my books, ate breakfast, opened up my book, ate some more, sipped coffee, peed, sipped more coffee, read a line, went on the computer, made hot water, stared at a page of my book, texted, drank more coffee, peed and the act of getting down to study by poring through my notes has not begun until now...it's been two hours. I'm doomed.

Anyways, dinner and movie tonight. My life is not exciting.

2010-06-29T00:48:00.003+08:00

I abhore getting hair-cuts

2010-06-26T03:00:00.001+08:00

I think God was trying to teach me a lesson today, and I must thank Him for it.

You lead me and keep me from falling

2010-06-21T01:57:00.009+08:00

Little India

These few pictures hardly capture the essence of Little India, I feel. You will definitely need to be there for yourself to experience first-hand the rich and colourful culture that Little India has to offer with such vibrancy and generosity. I feel that every inch of its corners has a story to tell. It was great fun with Annie and Rosa last weekend...

We miss you Annie<3

My weekend was a blast, with Annie, Rosa and Livs back... but we know that everything will come to an end..like how Annie left today:-(

A conclusion is an end and vice versa. It's dreadful how there is an end to everything. It's inevitable and inevitably sucky.

And we can't do anything about it.

2010-06-14T02:32:00.004+08:00

At this time of the night, please don't mind me- here are some things so random:

In my family, we hunt down lizards as though we're hunting down big, scary, scaly creatures. We use torches, sticks, all kinds of fancy wancy sprays from our stash and a whole lot of energy. We search. We find. We attack. It's becoming guerilla warfare- very intense.

I know that I'm in need of exercise. Like in real, desperate need. I really try my best to wake up early before the sun rises to get my derriere moving outside...but it has been a miserable week's attempt. But I'm not giving up, today is a new day.

Every movement I make, I consider myself being active. For example, I walk up stairs everyday... and when I start to lose my breath, I know I've been active. Or rather, I make myself believe that I've been active by doing work (you know, like force x distance = work done).

I'm portraying myself to be a very old, wrinkly woman suffering from osteoporosis.

The only thing I'm looking forward to is the idea of layering to fit the seasons. Apart from that, there is nothing I can think of to make my anticipation an exciting experience.

My incoherent thoughts in paragraphs.

2010-05-29T02:20:00.002+08:00

It's the EARRING and hair. I place my lavender MAXI dress on it (okay fine, only because I don't like it anymore). Fine. I throw in my pwettyyy grey floral socks! Good deal, no?

Whatever. I think this is perfecto.

2010-05-24T13:41:00.002+08:00

It's really happening. And it's God's plan for me, i know it.

I'm excited and happy but, at the same time, I'm afraid...

But I know for sure that He will lead the way, He will give me strength and He will protect me. and really, that is all that matters.

2010-05-11T21:49:00.001+08:00

JAZzzZZzzZ

I adore how songs have the ability to transport one to a specific point in one's life, where feelings are felt the EXACT same way one has felt them at that point- it's whimsical. However, because of this, I switch songs everytime I hear songs that take me back to points in my life that rekindle feelings of melancholy and even...I don't know... hope?

I just got off the phone with Zen and he's said his bit. I don't know...You know how you so often feel a sudden surge of courage, bravery and boldness rush through your veins when you're at a stage of merely thinking, with a plethora of ideas saturating your mind? BUT, when the time comes to ACT upon it, you shrink into the smallest of beings- feeling so small and afraid...

2010-05-04T22:57:00.002+08:00

DEADLY HEAT

My thoughts clogged my brain today, no need for music really- it was noisy enough.

What are your plans for me, Lord?

2010-04-12T14:20:00.002+08:00

I find it dreary to have to live through a dark and humid morning..

I realise how emotional you are, and I'm honestly not used to that..

2010-03-26T22:19:00.004+08:00

Did YOU know?

Collagen helps to improve skin texture, improve density in bones and repair damaged hair fibres.

Therefore...

I had a pork knuckle for dinner.

2010-03-23T10:13:00.002+08:00

So bitter and so uncharacteristically so...

I was undoubtedly shocked

2010-03-16T10:25:00.002+08:00

Confused

I'm so confused right now, and I don't know what to think or how to feel...

I still firmly believe that you're not sure, because how can you be?? That is what I don't understand... and it also never occured to me.. EVER!

I need you Lord.

2010-02-19T14:34:00.000+08:00

I peel prawns with so much more ease than before, and I thank Cooking Mama for it :-D
The splendid ideas people come up with these days- from kneeding dough to throwing paper balls off tables into a dustbin while a fan blows in different directions...all this on an iPhone?

Yesers.

I never fail to reach different levels of amusement with the different applications, that range from amazing to just downright-queer, I download.

I feel like an ancient monument.

A noob.

Happy Chinese New Year!
Better late than never

2010-01-27T12:56:00.000+08:00

Show me how to love like You have loved me.

2010-01-06T11:48:00.000+08:00

Never can get enough of the Lawson

So exhausted from work. Having to wake up at 5ish am in the morning is seriously no easy task. Thankfully, I've been doing alright the past two days.

You know, watching Nigella reruns helps to take your mind off things. Like in my case, it poses as a form of distraction allowing me to forget how half of my house is in complete chaos with the maintainence people over, how I've not taken a shower from the time I got back from work and the problem of not knowing how I'm going to sleep tonight because my room looks as though it had a hurricane over.

I feel like making pasta with walnut sauce in the realms of the kitchen..away from the mess..away from the chaos...and away from the temptation to shower.

2010-01-01T10:55:00.000+08:00

The last day of 2009. So scary how time flies..

We're going to have a scrumptious feast at home with the company of grilled beef, spinach salad with gorgonzola and honeyed walnuts, cauliflower drenched in white sauce topped with mozzarella cheese, french fries and apple crumble with brandy custard.

To be completely honest, the abovementioned list of dishes was only listed to create the opportunity for me to use "Gorgonzola (I don't even know if I'm spelling it right) cheese"...because it is the most incredible slab of cheese anyone could ever taste. No kidding, loves. It is beyond words.

The one and only thing that tops my New Year Resolutions list is to put GOD first in my life, always. By doing so, everything else would fall perfectly in place...because GOD is awesome.

The Rosa will be over tonight :D

2009-12-31T03:52:00.000+08:00

GOD is real.

I cannot believe work starts on Monday. Back to reality. And I also cannot believe that I have to wake up at 5am every morning for the next 5 months.

2009-12-21T16:48:00.000+08:00

"Fallin' for you"

2009-12-19T17:37:00.000+08:00

I'm feeling so depressed because I played so horribly today.

2009-12-13T05:43:00.000+08:00

My little annoying brother was right...

It was all an act...

Last night proved it...

2009-12-11T05:29:00.000+08:00

Tired of it all....

I bought another three delectable cereal and bean masks from The Face Shop. I officially love The Face Shop and all that is within it. I will be trying the yoghurt masks as soon as I use up the three pending masks on my dresser.

On a delightful note, I will be seeing the little rat of a brooo in less than two weeks. Oh how time soars!

2009-12-06T04:13:00.000+08:00

" EAT, TRAIN, GROW!"

My brother is in pursuit of a bigger body, and he plans to attain his desired size by going to the gym every day plus eat 5 eggs in the morning plus eat scary red pills the size of my pinky plus eat Macdonalds at 2am in the morning. The things we do for the things we desire.

Yesterday was one hell of a day. I'm still recovering from the worst hangover I've ever had... I feel like such a loser. Thank God my friends got me home safely or I might have found myself sleeping in a sewer this morning. I can't thank them enough.

In addition, my eye is swollen and I accidentally cut my thumb while making delicious scrambled eggs this morning. I consider the latter very therapeutic indeed- solace in its most domesticated form.

I am tired now.

''It's called Marketing Strategy"

Yesterday I went out with Marcus to watch 2012. Contrary to the belief that it is far too animated and unreal, it appeared pretty damn real to me! I liked it for the fact that it alarms us now, although I really shouldn't be believing such conspiracies. However, and in my defence, the movie was real enough to the point of it being believable. It was like a glimpse into the inevitable future ahead of us... Okay I should shut up. God's plans..God's plans..

I bought three redundant facial masks from The Face Shop. I love The Face Shop. We walked into The Face Shop and 5 minutes later, I came out of The Face Shop with three bloody facial masks- without the intention of buying any form of facial products 5 minutes earlier. The alchemy of marketing strategies.

Should I, or should I not?

2009-11-19T05:44:00.000+08:00

I've hit 20....

It scares me how I clearly remember turning 13 and now, before I even know it, I'm 20. As in 2-0...The end of my life as a teen...the end of having the number one ever being seen again in the first place of my age....the start of being embarrassed to be seen in the teenage-books section at Borders (is there even such a section?) and so on...

In other words, I've just had an epiphany that being 20 is quite a big deal! Especially when my friends are starting to call me names like "Grandma" or "oldie"... It has finally started to sink in...2 days after my birthday... Maybe I am growing old!

I better clear up my room now, in order to fit my 20-year-old status...

Toodles!

2009-10-28T11:38:00.000+08:00

My life plans- or rather, study plans... to reduce the impact 'life plans' make- seem to be ever-changing. As of today, it has been finalised and I feel that this is His plan for me...and who questions the One above?

2009-10-22T01:30:00.000+08:00

I crave coffee now. I crave a Macdonalds Latte, which is extremely delicious btw. Either that or a Cappucino from Starbucks.

I'm not even at work yet!! What am I doing at home?!

Oh and another thing, I'm tired of waiting....what is going on in your head?! I woke up this morning not caring anymore. I really do not care anymore.

2009-10-20T04:06:00.000+08:00

Urgh!!
Marking, marking, marking and more marking!!

Hanyway, will be meeting Marc in a jiff to do marking, marking, marking and more marking while Marc studies, studies, studies and studies. Before that, I shall go devour a whole cheese burger. Oh but here's a part of a conversation I had with the person at Macs:

Macs Lady: What would you like?
Me: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...Chicken foldover please
Macs Lady: sorry we don't have that anymore
Me: Oh. Uhhhhhhhhhhh any healthier options?
Macs Lady: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah....no.
Me: Hahahahahahahhaha (at the same time).....why!?!

It was fah-naey!
Hokay ciao ciao now!

PS: I miss my bro in Edinburgh:(

2009-10-11T10:07:00.000+08:00

I've been having little break-outs in the form of HUGE pimples that appear randomly on my face...one seems to appear on my face each day. WHY GOD??

Hence, I'm eating MORE avocados.

Anyway, I bought a pair of much-needed black flats today. They are soft and comfy with a bronze metal mesh on the front. It took me 5 minutes to decide...*AHEM*...not 5 hours...*AHEM*...to decide on a pair of flats....*AHEM*..I still love you!!;D

Gotta goooooo!!

2009-10-04T05:47:00.000+08:00

I'm eating one whole avocado to myself.

Only because it is good for my skin

2009-09-29T14:06:00.000+08:00

I have the sudden urge to rant about today's happenings and mishappenings(is this even a word?)...

However, I shall just include the latter:

Today, I was told that I missed my scheduled time to conduct an English oral exam. More accurately, I was not present(although ironically, I was in the school) for an examination that I was scheduled to attend. Wunderbar!

The abovementioned mishappening may seem bad enough, but let me add that what I'm about to say next challenges the abovementioned case...

I was standing in a train that seemed abnormally crowded given the time. Happily standing, I must add. I was also typing out a text to my sister. Again happily, given the contents of the message. And with as much gusto as I was typing my message, I made as much of a violent sway together with the jerky motion of the sudden stop the train made! And that's not all, folks. The violent sway threw me towards a tall teenage boy in uniform. Now, this made the boy (obviously) and his group of teenage friends stare at me with disdain. Not to mention the aunties that bore witness to this unfortunate and unfathomable incident.

I must admit, I am rather embarrassing.

On a random note, the badminton session on Sunday with my parents' friends has left my WHOLE body aching. Even my derriere...funny...given how my butt had no part in the activity.

Ciao ciao. shopping tomorrow:D

2009-09-25T14:21:00.000+08:00

Why hello there!

Do take a look at the project my friend is embarking on, with his partner in crime, in my previous post- to anyone out there who actually reads my blog- it would be fantastic if you could lend them your kind attention and support :)

2009-09-25T13:53:00.000+08:00

Their little trailer ;)

What is TIPMedia.Net?!

It's a blog run by 2 Business IT students from Ngee Ann Poly, which takes its readers through their 6-month attachment. Besides documenting their (hopeful)progress, they'll post up useful links, some interesting encounters, and everything else that grants them the title 'Peeps-With-Issues'.

What the FRUITPASTE is 'TIP'?

It stands for Technopreneurship Incubation Programme. Still don't understand what it is?

Neither do they!!

All they know is that they've gotta create an IT Business, with planned side projects of IT Awareness and Community Service. They need your help in commenting, and maybe even chip in some ideas that you may have!

Follow them as they take you to new heights of utilizing the web to the fullest! Or just watch out for their crazy escapades in search of success as technopreneurs!

How can you say no to faces like these?

They'll be waiting for you!

This may just sum up our Sunday night

You know, I personally feel that hardwork and success as a corollary may not be as true as they are so often spoken to be. A random observation and conclusion that I've made through my recent experiences at my workplaces. Then again, ones passion and drive may just surpass something as superficial (to some, of course) as success.

Gosh. I realise that I've been talking a lot about work lately:/

I should go to sleep now so that I can turn up early at work tomorrow and then have lunch with the sister at Raffles Place

Guten Abend!

I freaking love my job

I work only 5.5hours with a pay that I would have had to work about 10 hours for during my previous working stint and also because I get to freaking sit down at a desk without having to stand for 4 hours straight and I love having to stand in front of my closet to pick out my outfit every night for the next day instead of picking out the same outfit everyday and in other words...

I seriously hated my waitressing job.

I think I used the word 'I' more than ten times. I am seriously not self-absorbed I promise. I just have to use it in a sentence or else the sentence wouldn't seem complete. I am very excited because I'm going to watch my best friend get his tattoo later and my other best friend will be there too.

I think I'm talking too much

2009-09-14T22:57:00.000+08:00

I tried cappucino pork ribs today, and it was amazing! I think it has turned into the reason why I will never give up pork. It's THAT good.

Starting work tomorrow. Time to earn my own keep, again...I've had a long enough break! With my bro in Scotland, my sis on her internship next week, and an extremely huge hole in my pocket...

I'm more than ready to re-enter working life, again.

PS: My mummy gave in, and she bought me the pants of my dreams..
(well..for the moment... heee)

2009-09-14T10:16:00.000+08:00

I'm glad that I found out that you're really in actual fact a downright bastard.

What the hell was i thinking?

I should've known..
All the same.

2009-08-30T14:35:00.000+08:00

I really do not know what to think. And I don't know what to do.

I'm really afraid of loss.

Maybe I should just let go?
But it's hard. I pinned so much hopes, and now...all of that seemed to have been for nothing.

I'm afraid.

God help me.

2009-08-24T21:45:00.000+08:00

Not the best of days.

Let's seeeee:

1) Watched 'Food Inc.' today at Vivocity with Livy and Rosa and I couldn't make myself finish my chicken noodles just now

2) Just received an email from MOE to inform me that my application for relief teaching has been APPROVED and I'm now officially a 'qualified' relief teacher. All of this after I turned down a relief teaching job last month because my application had not been approved then. In fact, my application FAILED last month. Those people are seriously confused.

3) Ok I don't have a number three.

2009-08-21T22:40:00.001+08:00

sadness....

:((((((((((((

And it's 10:40pm dammit!

Spontaneous spring cleaning is extremely rewarding, and it kills time. In fact, and in my case, it kills precious time that was meant to be spent studying for my BT Evaluation. Great. I may just have to postpone it the gazillionth time..

I end here staring intently, and salivating at the same time, at a pair of gorgeous and i-need-to-have-you-or-I'll-cry Sam Edelman boots:

I wait everyday:(

Lonely with Noodles and Chin Chow.

I had dinner alone, and received same responses from my friends:

'really...why?!?!'

Anyway, dinner was amusing today...and not just because I had it alone. Here's what happened:

I was halfway through my tall glass of chin chow. Wait before that, you know how the drink Chin Chow consists of black jelly things and syrup and water and uh, ice?

Okay, so I was finished with my bowl of chicken noodles and reached out for my half-filled glass of Chin Chow drink. I placed it in front of me and started to go at it with a straw. All was good UNTIL I dried up my Chin Chow from taking in all that syrup water. Here's when things started to go wrong.

Firstly, the now- dried- up Chin Chow drink made it extremely difficult for me to take in with the straw. Secondly, it meant that I had to suck at the damn straw harder. Thirdly, the Chin Chow jelly things could not flow up the straw smoothly. Fourthly, my lips were hurting (ok, maybe not). Lastly, I managed a deafening sucking sound that gained well...attention. And trust me, it was loud. Not one bit elegant but every bit the definition of 'embarrassement.'

What a story.

PS: Bought a pair of vintage sunglasses with my sis, Paige, who willingly followed me to ICA to get an IC replacement.
PSS: Can't believe I got them even though I found a conspicuous scratch on the lens
PSSS: I need to learn how to save money

Haha, evil

The infamous pandemic Influenze A is finally coming alive in my head because a few of my close friends are ill at home.

Suddenly, it sinks in. And finally, reality strikes.

I pray that they'll get better soon

2009-08-15T23:36:00.000+08:00

Ich vermisse dich

Blogspot is being a bitch. It isn't getting the freaking time right!

Time: 11:37pm

I'm cranky!

2009-08-12T12:16:00.000+08:00

I'll be heading to the driving school 3 times this week, not including the BTT lesson yesterday. gosh. Plus, my Basic Theory Practice is tomorrow and I haven't read through the books. gosh.

I'm becoming a great procrastinator! It has reached a point where I'm extremely worried for myself. About two weeks ago, I'd have blamed my job for my procrastinating habits. However, a week into the month, the words 'JOBLESS AND FREE' were tattooed onto my forehead (underlined and bolded, of course). Hence, I no longer possess any excuse for procrastinating:/

Lunch with Rosaaaa in a bit, and then we'll try to be brave girls at Strip. hehe

2009-08-08T03:40:00.000+08:00

sometimes you just piss the shit out of me without knowing it.

2009-07-27T10:53:00.000+08:00

I feel that I'm being a tad lackadaisical about my life and the priorities that come with it. I need to start getting my priorities right!

Just a quick post before I adjourn to dinner...

Zouk on Friday to watch the Crookers in action with Paige. They were brilliant. Some random pictures:

Going to the ION, again, tomorrow. We just love it there. No, we actually just really really love it there :D

2009-07-15T00:54:00.001+08:00

Today was both a good and fulfilling day. Met Livs and Joan for dinner and dessert. Had, hmm..I'd say very interesting talks. HAHA. And before that, shopping!

It was one of those rare shopping trips, where I actually got to tick something off my 'I SURE AS HELL NEED THESE' list. And take my word for it, that list is particularly long.

Tomorrow I will be going out with the perpetually hungry beast (hehe!)on a hunt, to tick another item off that very same list.

Wish me luck!

I'm slumped down on my posterior greedily picking at my tiramisu (Not too good for the waistline) with a teaspoon. No kidding. I learnt that by doing so, you'd not yearn for a second helping whilst sticking out a salivating tongue. Not very elegant.

SO ANYWAY, I've been doing some research on interior design: Poring and browsing through the internet looking for inspiring pictures of bedrooms, typing in keywords such as 'girl's room', 'fifth avenue', 'ladies room' etc. you get the picture. The former, as you can imagine, was not too promising- leading me to pictures after pictures of rooms decked out in bright pink bubblegum coloured walls filled with fairies, hearts, stars and everything happy. Not too bad a thought, but definitely not on my list under 'My Ideal Bedroom'.

However, my research did not end in vain. Here's what really caught my eye:

I adore this room. I want this room.so.bad.

This spells tranquility and peace- how any personal space surrounded by 4 walls should be

A Fairy Tale

Subtle yet eye-catching and statement-making tones of hot pink

I love them all!

2009-07-12T09:49:00.000+08:00

Maybe I should just look pass all that and embrace your recherche personality instead. Hmm...

Random Pictures:

This, to me, is normal HAHAHA

I stayed the day at home, had lunch alone, went on the internet,had tiramisu all by myself and spoke to Paige on Skype. And finally, I'm going to get ready to GO OUT and HAVE FUN mit meinen Familie. Sounds good

2009-07-07T12:16:00.000+08:00

Darn. Something's wrong with Blogspot! I can't post great pictures from last week:(

Last Week:

Went out with Paige many, many times in a row- LOVE HER!
Cyber Dance Night (Paige, I've decided to call it that) to the likes of Steve Aoki and The Bloody Beetroots as a form of exercise before bed.LOL the things we come up with
Rosa the rat came back from her holiday- at last!
Rikh's birthday party at 7atenine and Rebel on Saturday- It was Fab:D

Pictures, hopefully soon, when Blogspot becomes more cooperative

Slowly but very surely, the great fun and excitement from last week is dying down leaving behind the inevitably boring and monotonous week ahead:(

2009-06-19T16:12:00.000+08:00

Tuesday:

We always have fun, no matter what we do- including being silly (no, make that completely ridiculous) in changing rooms, hehe- I love them! Germy or not;)

Kuala Lumpur last week with the famz. I find our yearly trips there so heartwarming, meeting old family friends, patronizing the familliar restaurants that we so-very-often-did when we lived there. Familiarity is always comforting, it never fails to rekindle old feelings and memories. I love that.

Work tomorrow, and let's just say I'm not looking forward to that at all.

2009-06-08T15:59:00.000+08:00

I've been telling a lot of my friends about this one person who I've recently met, who ever so naturally makes me smile. Just a glance, and I'd be smiling like a complete maniac. I try so hard to suppress my obvious grin, but my cheek muscles rebelliously refuse to relax. Sadly, I don't think i'll ever see that person again. Ever.

I wonder what that signifies. You know, like the happiness you inexplicably feel when you see someone. Maybe it blatantly spells out the fact that I like him. Very questionably, for no reason at all. No freaking reason. I mean, I hardly know the dude. Ah, whatever.

On a side note: My throat hurts like crazy! I try to avoid swallowing, which is impossible. This sucks.

So I just got back from Vietnam (Well, a week ago) and I have this sudden urge to document the trip here. Hopefully soon, when I'm actually not working and not sufferring from sleep deprivation- which I am currently experiencing.

All in all, Vietnam was fantastic! And the company made it even better:D More on the trip soon, need to tend to the throat now

2009-05-25T15:39:00.000+08:00

Pictures from Saturday night at St James Power House:

darn. I can't seem to align my captions! So I'll just leave them out.

We thought St James Power House was far, far too crowded. However, the music was good. But most importantly, the company was fabulous!

Faber Drive- When I'm with you

(I think I miss you. BUT WHY?!?!?!?)
