Jayden's First Bday Bash!

cun believe time gets by so fast. a year has gone, almost in a blink of an eye. and my dahling nephew jayden is a year old! already! which means yours truly isnt getting any younger. sighz. anyway. the celebration at sis' place. lotsa relatives. lotsa kids running around. major chaos. but it was fun. seeing ppl u wun get to see except during cny. and realising for a fact that your threshold for noise aka screaming, bawling and crying have actually increased. and ya, getting to decorate the place up for your dahling nephew's party. although the banner was done like a day before (cos i had fallen sick right before his bday), i think its pretty cute.

Grabbing the bday boy for photos before the crowd comes in. hehe.

goodies for the kids! even the big kids like me!

barney in the form of a huge creamy cake. its really really creamy. anyway, i shd have taken a pic of wats left after the party. just the head. its darn funny.

cake cutting! it was kinda cute to gather all the kids for photo taking with their masks on. hehe. and the second pic of jayden is supeerr adorable lor! with his little feet on the table and trying to cut the cake! and how he looked like he really knew that he shd blow his bday candle! seriously so cute (i) can die! ok i noe, im over doing it abit but my jayden is really very cute wat :p

pics taken with family and relatives, and wat could possibly be my favouritest kids in the world.

you probably wun understand this now but,

Happy Bday, Jayden! Muackks!

Merry X'Mas?

wooh, this year's x'mas is really something different.

i spent it sitting around in a hospital.

specifically, i spent the morning sitting around in a children's hospital.

both my nephew and niece had viral infection. their mum had quite a bad flu and the dad had a mild case of food poisoning. my mum was on the verge of falling sick as well. (i felt so vulnerable all of a sudden.) the little ones were vomitting so badly they went frail to the point of such a state i couldnt even bear to say the word. sis was naturally so worried she tot its best to go to the hospital. and i, being the only physically fit, was awoken at 3am and dragged to the hospital, half-conscious and totally dishevelled.

the whole visit took abt 4 hrs and both of them are fine now. in fact, it seems that i was hit worst, needing rest till 3pm and having to cancel a lunch date. so there, my x'mas for 2007. how wonderful.

Preps for X'Mas 2007

i've been dying to post pics of x'mas gifts i made this year for frens and loved ones even before the party on sat but couldnt cos its supposed to be a *duh* surprise. anyway the party at vivien's new home was great. (her home is super gorgeous btw.) all 6 of us managed to make time to gather for a celebration, including our ever-busy ms connie tan. heh. shall post pics on the party when i get them.

coming back, gifts I made. (ya, i am assuming the role of a self-indulgent braggart for today.) i remember last year, i was into graphic designing and made some half-assed frames. and ever since i've learnt to dressmake, i've got this crazy urge to sew something. and for all i noe, i'll probably make a stool or table if im into carpentry next year. so as u can tell, im actually gg thru a phase and although each phase doesnt live long, i do believe this one im currently in could last. well, at least till im done with all the fabric i've bought so far. and to speed up tt process, i've found some other use for it.

jasmine says they look good enough to be put on sale. im flattered but i think not. making 12 is just enough to kill me. besides, buttons, laces and ribbons arent exactly cheap. but having said that, i have enjoyed the nites of making each of these, surrounded by fabric, needles, ribbons and threads, and with leslie cheung singing in the background. all i did lack was a rocking chair and a black tomcat sleeping on my lap to qualify as grans. really really.

Too Much Of A Good Is Bad

you noe you're overly reliant on the internet when you google for song lyrics even though you have the album just next to you.

and you noe you're over doing on the read when you find youself abit confounded after having started on a new book.

..... which brings me to conclude that too much of a good is indeed bad.

// stress abt xmas sia.. seriously dun like >=(

// i've finally gathered enough courage to make an apptment for my extraction. guess i wun be having a feast on my bday =(

Nature

Nature took its course

Bintan

will be off to bintan tmr with the family.

NOT looking forward to it. no, not at all.

哥哥 Leslie Cheung

i was letting mum listen to 為你鐘情, not quite able to contain my excitement of having discovered yet another great song by 哥哥. so i was raving to her abt it but she was either uninterested or distracted by the tv, dismissing me with just an 'uh-huh'. -_-ll not quite the response i was expecting. doesnt anyone share my enthusiasm for good ol' music??


so while i was in my room, fully immersed in the charm of his voice, mum came in and gave me these.

OH. MY. GAWD!

all this time i have been searching tirelessly through imeem for his songs, and there in some dustcovered box within my house lies these treasures! cannot believe it lor! anyway, after having listened to 2 of the cds, i told mum that nevermind if she doesnt leave me any money in her will. these cds will do. =)

//oh oh, another song to share!

Yet Another..

yet another post on songs im currently crazy abt. i wonder if there is a term for my condition? anyway i didnt noe jeff chang could speak in cantonese. but his rendition of 习惯失恋 is the best i've heard so far. 草蜢 has also performed it before. nice stuff too.

old news i noe, but jacky cheung is coming for yet another concert. and im going! again! tell me im not out of my mind. ok, relatively sane cos i bought the $88 tickets. though i really would want to pay for front seats if i could. cos the best seats were snapped up so fast we tot it wun be worth paying tt much to be seated rows behind. and guess wat, after the tickets were bought, another show was added on the 5th! jacky jacky, i love and hate you so.

x'mas is round the corner and gifts need to be decided on. not that im running short of ideas, in fact there's quite a few options i dunno wat to do! hmm.. maybe i should just create one of each and let them choose. hah!

The Little Black Dress

cool little book. with a chilly price too. $73.44. i think it's bcos of the word VINTAGE/TREASURE/BOTH that's imprinted. hah. but i bought it at a sale for $20 at bras basah. still unreasonably priced i feel, for a 30 odd paged book. but i guess its quite a steal. the dresses featured were lovely, am hoping i can re-create something from it. and oh, did i mention the book had a full picture of audrey hepburn too? now that, would be well-worth the $20.

sat with miss zhuang was quite a pocket burner. apart from coercing me to get the above mentioned book, she wanted lunch at some fancy restaurant and high tea at some other pricey cafe. seriously high maintenance lah she. i was just glad SAM was entrance free. dun get me wrong, im not actually complaining, just trying to save up for my "spinster" fund (private joke) hahaha!

Shooting Stars

Friday evening was sth new. i went for a musical with someone cantonese, and quite an expert in canto oldies too. anyway, the musical was staged entirely in cantonese, and it was a really good show. the actors were great and the songs were awesome. some were even delivered like it was a concert. and yes, tt includes the actor running down-stage to shake hands with the audience, along with security to hoist off delirious fans. totally amusing.

i would think the team banked heavily on the names of the 2 great singers to draw a crowd. and clearly it did. most of the audience were in their 30s - 50s, who like me, were drawn by their songs. but at the end of the show, despite the glitz and all, a message was brought across. i guess i can never listen to leslie cheung's 追 the same way i had before. tt particular scene of him sinking into depression and with each word of the song affected me somehow. *emo emo*

all in all, i enjoyed the performance thoroughly and am hoping that they'll bring more of such shows to s'pore. but for now, i gotta go google for the awesomely nice songs sung during the show.

軟硬 Long Time No See

wahahaha! i almost died laughing after having watched this! esp the individual dance highlight, tt kot guy is hilarious!

Intensely

"The pain is so intense because the joy was so intense."


How true.


Being robbed of the joy pains.


But sometime, somewhere, somehow, the pain will cease...


... for joy and hope to come through.

Oh The Drama!

the past few days have been an emotional roller coaster ride for me. ya, things arent exactly going well. im keeping my fingers crossed at the moment, that the worst has come and GONE, and that better things WILL come my way. (say, my bonus? hehe.) im jus glad that i was out with frens after the news was delivered, helping me to take my mind off the dreaded fact/decision to be made. ya, in times like these, frens, abit of mahjong, food and laughter helps. thanks, pals. =)

was at northpoint for lunch on sat and saw someone who i've not seen for ages. (and there you go thinking nothing interesting could ever happen in plain ol' northpoint.) would have missed her completely if mum hadnt pointed out to me. funny that mum would say she's the xian qi liang mu fren i haf, and that she was actually quoting me. i dun rem saying that at all, to me, she's just hoonie. i would have smiled or waved, and things might somehow develope. but well, i guess its all fate.

anyway, anyone noe the titles of the songs here?

okayyy, just trying my luck.

//The 3rd song is 誰可改變 by Alan Tam.

Oh Holly!

guess wat came in today?

muahahah!


i was positively ecstatic abt receiving the posters since the day i won the bid, but the t-shirt threw me off completely. thanks fren, for the somewhat pleasant surprise. though i think u wouldnt be expecting the gesture to be returned (soon or at all), too short a notice to be in time for ur bday. hah!

// i bought a magnet the other day at suntec. tell me, y am i spending so much money on her?

Life Expectancy

despite my scepticism abt the possibility in the miraculous development of a superhuman reading speed, a miracle has indeed occured.


not to sound boastful or inflate this 'miracle', i have finished reading a 400 odd paged hardback by dean koontz. within 4 days. tts fast, by my standards. hmm, i might get to complete a third of wat i hope if i keep this pace.


and if you're a book buff and have not read any of his books yet, i recommend that u start now. though his works are mainly thrillers, i was laughing out loud while reading. no, not at the tragic and often gruesome end of the psychopath's victims (im not perverse in that sense) but at the dark humour he slips in almost habitually.


as u can tell, im not really good at giving a book review, and i shall not attempt any further. just go grab his books from the stores, write a review on it on facebook and expect a tinkle from me soon. *winks*

The Path To Seam-Stress Status

finally, after 5 lessons of learning dressmaking.


I AM A SEAMSTRESS!


as in seam-stress. stressing over seams.


well, the material for my skirt is actually quite delicate. as in if someone were to rip it off with brute force (heaven forbid), it'll come off before you could mouth the first letter of any protest or even a simple "ah!"


ok, so it isnt the material but my so-called tailoring skills. or perhaps the fact that i've machined, unpicked, machined and unpicked the seams that made it so... tearable (not that i've actually tried tearing).


and although the product isnt exactly tailored quality as its meant to be, the whole process is actually quite rewarding. i've learned the virtue of self-control cos slamming and cursing at the sewing machine wun do much good. and oh yes, the wonders of a stitch unpicker! i seriously doubt i would be still sane if not for it, considering the number of times i had to redo everything.


so there, my first piece of tearable wearable skirt. far from perfect, but still wearable.

next up : wrap skirt.


// a bit ironical, for someone who dun often wear skirts, i need to make not 1, but 2 of it!

The Final Goodbye

Sooner Than Expected

oh my, seems that i wun be able to 'devour' his other books after all.


unless i develope an unhumanly reading speed overnight to finish 19 600 odd paged novels within a month.


not quite possible.


on a separate note, thanks to a fren for sending this song to me. actually prefer this to jacky cheung's version. recently, im into OLD canto songs with the likes of sam hui, alan tam and george lam for reasons unknown. maybe its age. but this song he sent definitely reveals his age, not mine. hah.

Updates

random updates :

currently devouring dean koontz's the face. yes, good books are meant to be devoured, not read. im hoping i get to finish his other books before i eventually leave.

yes, yes, bangkok next week! wee~ shopping! im kinda like doing up a shopping list, which probably wun do any good since i'll just buy watever that comes my way. hah. but a few must buys - tailored suits, nice cheap fabrics, dressing screen, haversack, and yes wei wei, durian chips -_-ll

been watching d. gray-man on tv and youtube recently. didnt realise wat an effect this anime had on me. i was gg omg-omg-omg-omg-omg in the episode where Daisya encountered Tyki and was eventually killed. OH MY GOD! as strange as this might sound, the emotions it triggered were much more apparent than all dramas i've watched thus far. hmm.. this is pretty weird.

my orthodontist probably thinks im mad by now. besides asking (jokingly of cos) if i could keep the mould of my teeth as souvenir, i let out an uncontrollable giggle while he was taking pictures of my teeth. it was beyond embarrassing i tell you. but as i said, it wasnt in my willpower to suppress the urge to laugh. it was just too funny, seeing the reflection of myself on the lens with my mouth pried open to uncanny proportions. hahaha! but i guess i shd really be more concerned abt my first tooth extraction which will probably take place 2 weeks later. (that's only if i garner enough courage to make an appointment) okay, okkkayy, stop being such a chickenshit already.

Paranoia

PARANOID.

that should really be my middle name.

well, frens who noe me should agree cos i can get quite paranoid at times. save the numerous episodes of doubting and misunderstanding, construing sudden interests as hidden agendas, saturday's incident has got to be the most ridiculous by far.

i was at amk cc for my weekly dressmaking class. my first project is a skirt and its beginning to look like one now. hah. shall blog more abt this when i've completed it. anyway, wat happened was i was the first few who reached, and went to the ladies which was down the corridor in a secluded corner. most of the other classrooms were still empty and as it was 7ish then, the whole level looked abit ominous with the lights still off.

no one was inside the toilet when i entered and while i was inside the cubicle, i heard the door open. now the strange thing was, no one walked past to get to the last cubicle next to mine. nor did i hear the tap running. all i heard was this clicking sound gg rhythmically as if someone is playing with a pen while waiting for something or someone. and the disturbing thing was that i heard no such noise before i heard the door open.

i stood frozen and the first thing that came to mind was that SOMEONE could actually be out there waiting to mug his next unsuspecting victim i.e yours truly. and because im such a paranoid, thank you very much, i was able to foresaw his deceit of knocking out his victims before transporting them in a stolen car to a deserted factory to disembowel them and finally decapitating their heads off as trophies, but not without the signature psychopatic laughter and a thundering storm as backdrop.

-____-llll

i noe i noe, very tvb drama. i've been watching far too much of it lah. but at that very moment, i truly believed that someone was actually out there waiting to pounce on me. there wasnt much i could do without my phone with me, so i remained where i was amid the sweltering heat. my best bet was to wait for someone to walk in or that the mugger will get tired of the wait and leave. but after 5 mins, the heat was getting to me and i tot wat the heck. besides, dying from hyperthermia isnt exactly glam.

so i stepped out and..... nothing.

not even a cockroach was seen. but the door was opened alright. probably the cleaner came in to keep the door open with the door stopper and turned on the fan as well, which explains the clicking sound i heard.

-____-llll

still couldnt believe wat a big bozo i was. told my mum all abt it and she laughed her head off. well, guess i can nv be a police detective.

Shamed

ok, i take back wat i said - that my revulsion of children will cease to exist soon.

but one thing's for sure, the dormant volcano has erupted somehow. and im sorry to say that the lil' one who suffered the wrath is none other than my own niece. :(

to sis - sorry for shouting tiu and slamming the car door shut at your daughter. (i made sure she was clear of the door!)

to mum - sorry for storming off to the bus stop without turning back although i heard you call out to me

to nicole - sorry for my lack of tolerance and understanding of your wilful and bratty behaviour

to myself - you ought to be ashamed of all this over-reaction and reflect much on how a piglet could hold more weight in your niece's heart

sigh. whoever said being someone's ah yi was going to be easy?

Yes, I Know

Yes, yet another post on my dahhling nephew

Yes, I'm terribly, terribly fond of him (if you cun already tell)

Yes, I'm not worried abt how my public display of favoritism will affect my dear niece (Bro, coincidentally, has the same tendency towards his nephew)

Yes, I do believe he'll steal quite alot of hearts with those eyes (why, he already has mine)

Yes, I foresee that my revulsion of children (which has laid dormant for quite awhile) will cease to exist comes the day when he could speak the 2 words

Lil' Dino

"Grrrrr! Grrrrr! Grrrrr!"

If pain has an expiry date....

"If pain has an expiry date, mine has expired."

Yes, wounds heal.

But does grief?

4.26 pm :

Release of results on student portal.


Present status :

Drowning my sorrows in a packet of Arnott's Tim Tams chocolate biscuits. Double Coated.

Treasure... Dug

guess wat i saw last friday when i was out shopping with winnie and jeral.



yes. a gorgeous, GORGEOUS canvas dressing screen printed with the ever lovely Audrey Hepburn. the picture here is only for illustration purpose, the actual one i saw had a diff pic of Audrey. i should have, ought to have, would have bought it had it not been its cost and the lack of space in my room.

damn it.

note to self : costs a hefty $189 and could be found in Takashimaya B1.

edit // i just realised i have $100 taka vouchers. hmmm, should i?

D-Day!!

i was told by a fren that our results will be out by this week.

Oh, the anxiety! the trepidation!

(translated : Oh-My-God! Oh-My-F-ing-God!)

I think i need a cliff, or a (more accessible) window to fling myself off when this fateful day dawns upon me.

Would We?

the other day i was at a job interview where i was applying for a marketing position. i was told that i'll be required to do abit of designing and stuff. so they were asking if i had brought the 'works' i've done. and silly me didnt, of cos. was practically hitting myself on my way back home. and when i got home, the first thing i did was search through my trash for a poster i did for YG magazine and a brochure for CO's recruitment drive. ya i noe it doesnt make much diff now but i jus had to take a look at it. so i managed to find the poster, which made me glad i didnt bring it to the interview cos its quite fugly to be frank. as for the brochure, it was in my antique ibm laptop, which is officially pronounced dead as of today. it jus wun start. seriously, where are things when you really need it??

anyway, i found this book from CO as i was digging my trash. something which we came up with in poly year 1, where all members could write their crap in it. and reading through it brought back much memories. memories of the place, the ppl, the things which we did and that i was ever their "芳少" with 4 姨太s, a 丫鬟, and a housekeeper. i found myself laughing out loud at wat were written, esp an entry written by a particular member who signed off as Aaron Kwok, which drew comments like "KANNA SAI", "大便都不如", "aaron kwok 的脚毛还差不多" ok, maybe it aint that funny, but i laughed so hard i almost teared. i could jus picture jess' expression while saying that, and how MS will be rolling his eyes. hah. i guess those first 2 years hadnt been that easily erasable afterall.

and reading further, i came across a short para written in pencil by a very dear friend.

人生就是这样。。有些事不是说能放就放的。。要忘掉一件事和放下一件事。

是这么难的事，但为何人生就必须要经过呢？

人生就是这样。。今天不知明天事。。

也许你今天看到我。。可能明天不再看到我。。

人生的过程，说长不长，说短不短。。

有些人拥有很长的人生过程。。但有些人却拥有很短的人生过程。。

所以要好好把握你现在所拥有的一切。。。

indeed, some pple dun haf the privilege of seeing the years pass by them. many a times i wonder, how would things be had you not left? would i still be complaining while waiting for you to have lunch together? would you still readily onz me for a game of bball in NP? would we still be meeting up for shopping and movies at bugis junction? and would we ever have the chance to travel overseas and explore new horizons together? ....... would we?

i believe that in our lifetime, we would meet that someone who's destined to change our lives drastically in one way or another. for better or worse. i believe i have met mine. but for better or worse? im not sure.

Cupcakes, anyone?

just one of those days where you wake up and go, "hey i wanna bake sth!"

ok, maybe not. i had the recipe with me for ages, jus that i never got down to doing it. so today, mum and i went and bought the ingredients for baking. for over 40 mini cupcakes, $26 is quite ex. but well, its all in the name of some fun i guess.

having not baked anything since sec sch and with some help from mum, the cakes were not half bad i'd say. And apart from the lack of proper equipment, it really does feel like im back in mrs ong's home econs lesson.

for one, i still feel as flustered and kan chiong as before.

Do I Care?

Seriously, do i look like i care about how u're doing?

//this flu and sore throat is getting on my nerves~ thank god its a public holiday tmr..

List of Most Irksome Individuals You Could Encounter On A Public Bus

Fangz' List Of Most Irksome Individuals You Could Encounter On A Public Bus

1. Bawling children
2. Giggling school girls
3. Individuals who reek of ciggies
4. Couples who get a tad too intimate
5. Individuals who reek of a month's dirty laundry
6. Individuals who tok (read: shout) non-stop on their phone
7. Individuals who coughs and sneezes into the back of your head
8. Individuals who have their music (think techno, incomprehensible rap, etc) on loudspeakers
9. Males who sits with their legs wide apart (i think they are mistakenly trying to equate the distance with their size)
10. Individuals who gives dirty looks to any or all of the above
    

Personally, i think individuals who are guilty of point 10 are making a futile display of their dissatisfaction. Yes, im speaking from experience here.

Next time, i think i should just bring an eye mask, ear plugs and air freshener. In my favourite scent of lavender too.

妳是我的寶貝

Cun find the music video to this song :(
anyway, the beginning of the song is almost the same as one of brandy's song.

No More Mahjong

you noe something's quite wrong when u actually agree with your mum to playing a game of 2-person mahjong. -_-ll

and you noe something's pretty wrong when the forfeit of the game is much more than losing a few chips.

and you noe something's gone terribly wrong when you get a head full of pegs! (17 in total!)

ok, no more mahjong for me.

well, at least for the time being.

I Adore

Lazy Sunday Afternoon

you know its one of those days when u jus dun feel like getting out of the house even if you were paid a million bucks. esp when you had a swim the previous day and on top of that, late nite mahjong. so when mum asked me out to compass point with sis and nicole, my immediate response was a firm no. so while i was laying in bed, all ready to fall aslp, little nicole came up to me and asked again.

nicole : ah yee wan go with us?
me : (half aslp) nono, nicole go with popo and mummy ok? ah yee wan to slp.
nicole : but i need you can?
me : (sighs in resignation) okkaayy....

tell me, how to reject a plea like tt?

Breakfast at Tiffany's

after today, i think i have to reflect much on my citizenship. no, im not considering migration or anything of tt sort. its just that having visited (or rather, passed by) Fort Canning Park and National Museum today with xuefang while searching for the Stamford Garden, i was asking myself "where the heck have i been all this while? this part of spore is pretty awesome!" i think i'll definitely visit this place again soon. anyway, i was at this open air cinema thingy organised by the museum for this.

my second outdoor movie actually. the first was Movies at the Padang last year which was all fun. this time, however, the experience was quite different. apart from the fact that there was no Glenn Ong or FD, nor was the place as big as the Padang (obviously), the ppl who attended were, well, atas. while we had brought along chips and canned drinks, they had bread, fruits and wine. in proper wine glasses. but of cos, u need wine glass for wine don't you? hah.

so they were playing Breakfast at Tiffany's which starred my dahhling Audrey Hepburn. and although i might come across as a fan, the only movie i've watched with her in it before today was My Fair Lady. such a shame i noe. but then again, im glad i didnt cos i get to catch it for the first time on the BIG screen. if you've yet to watch it, pls do so. just her wardrobe alone is well worth your time. anyway, here's some pics taken before and after the show.

hah, who would've known im capable of such act-cute poses. hmm, on second tots, i think the company plays a great deal. :p

Rain Clouds?

will it ever?

***************

i swear i jus had the most horrible nitemare this morning. ok, probably the next most. the most most awful one i ever had was abt this bat flying to me and finding its way to my back and INTO my t-shirt. it was so horrifying i woke up screaming and crying.

anyway, this one i jus had was that i failed 3 of my 4 papers and the marks i got were like 6, 8, 9 and 44.

is tt some scary shit or wat?

//omg. check out today's 4D results.

Jacky Cheung World Tour '07

i think there's a thief in the house. the bloody iron is missing and i cun press my clothes.


great.


ok, so a thief wouldnt have possibly stolen my iron i noe, probably a ghost then.


speaking of ghosts and entities, it would be appropriate to say here that Jacky Cheung is indeed, the HEAVENLY king, the GOD of songs, the GOD of mandarin pop... ok, you get the drift.

so i was at "The Year of Jacky Cheung World Tour '07" concert which lasted for abt 4 hrs. he started off with a couple of heart-pumping cantonese songs which made the crowd go wild, then some mandarin songs from his new album. and then a couple of songs which he composed for his daughters and wife and another couple of songs sung by some other artistes. there was also a short musical from the movie Perhaps Love. it ended off with some of his classic mandarin and cantonese songs from way, way back.


even though the threatricals were really not to my liking;


and even though i should have just bought front seat tickets to let off without feeling awkward. come on, the ppl near me were just sitting there like they were in a cinema watching Pride & Prejudice;


and even, even though i had an uncle sitting next to me who just could not shut up and let me enjoy the songs. i noe tt you jus want to sing along but do you really have to make yourself audible above the blasting music and heaven forbid, Jacky's voice? for Christ's sake, save the singing at a karaoke joint!


so even though all tt happened, Jacky Cheung totally made my day when he belted out 李香兰 in cantonese.


standing there.


rite in front of me.


LIVE.


the experience was simply awesome.


nono, it was BEYOND awesome.


i think i havnt screamed so much since infancy. if the entire concert had been performed in cantonese, i think i could have lost my voice at the end of it. and even though he's 46 and has been singing for 23 years, he hasnt lost tt magic in him.


wat, a *ahem* young girl like me screaming for him says it all.

Happy 24th!

Wedding Bells Are Ringing

Congratulations, Mr and Mrs Lai!

yes, the first in the group of us to get hitched. Abit ks dun u think? hahaa.. okok, so im just terribly terribly envious can? *much rolling of the eyes*


but seriously, it does feel abit weird. cos its like just yesterday we were cramming for projects and doing silly stuff together. and wham, she's married today. hmmm, tt sounds abit wrong. i dun mean it as a *ahem* shotgun, wat i mean is tt time passes so fast you can hardly feel it.


sighzz.. i guess its really time to stop being in self denial and accept the fact tt im... 24?

Exams are oo-ver?

exams are like finally over but y am i not excited at all? perhaps its the fear of flunking or passing badly? or the apprehension of wats next for me? or simply bcos im still stuck in tt damned job. its like i have a rain cloud hovering over me when i go for work and all i tok abt is how work sucks. *sighzz*


okok, let's not get too depressed here. ermm, updates on my penang trip soon. very soon i promise.

D.E.A.D

im this --> <-- close to my next (and final) paper.

and im this --><-- close to breaking down.


but the distress im feeling abt my exams couldnt be more than the pain i feel abt going back to work on the 15th.


gah, tok abt irony.

What A Strange World

ok, this is going to be like so nonsensical. but the world does operate in strange ways which baffles me.

#1 - Fanaticism

wat's the word to describe someone who's overly obsessed with their religion?

that was the qns which made me lose slp last nite. (and its just a random qns -_-) the word was just there at the back of my mind! i could even picture the expression of these ppl, but i just, just couldnt conjure the word from my vocab bank. extremist? puritan? grrr!! no!!

and just as i was abt to let it go, the word popped out in my mind. FANATICS! immediately jumped out of bed to check the dictionary and yes! i was rite! mwahahaha!

// isnt it a wonder how things would just refuse to come to you when u're determined to find it, and then finds its way to you when you're abt to give up?

#2 - E.T vs chang 'e

it's crazy how i could randomly come up with these 2 entities when we're toking abt finding tt someone in our lives. "you go find your chang 'e and i'll go find my E.T hor."

and it tickled me to no end when you actually pondered over the possibility of being my E.T. "come on lah, E.T and chang 'e are like living on different planets? there's no connection between the 2!"

and it's insanely coincidental when you pointed out that your initials are exactly E and T. "nooo wayyyy..."

// things dun always happen in the way you plan it to be and it happens to you when u least expect it.

afterthought : i think im coped up at home for too long and studying is making me a bit mad.

sorry for the serious lack of updates, too busy "making out" with my notes and books, it's kind of like a love-hate situation now. sighzz. anyway, since its labour day, i shall take a break to update this long forsaken blog. its been so long i almost forgot my log-in id and password!

Caution : Randomness ahead!

my bro gave me this pack of gummies the other day, and im addicted to it already! its soooo pretty and chewing it just makes me smile all silly! ya, i dunno why too!

can you understand why babies could smile even in their sleep? and wat a cheeky smile too!

yeah! i got the jacky cheung concert tickets already! and i totally agree, losing your voice screaming for your idol : priceless.

my virgin attempt at cooking, the real type of cooking lah. pls tell me it looks delicious! (although the taste is still faarr from perfect.. haha) and YC, mine looks so much better than the one we had at chun tin rd rite? =p anyway, do u noe a small packet of branded mozarrella cheese costs abt $4 - $6! madness!

// new album from Michael Buble is out! just bought it today and im loving it!
