Monday, December 15, 2008, 09:52 p.m. You set my soul alight. Twilight lives up to it's name: the soft, diffused light from the sky when the sun is below the horizon, either from daybreak to sunrise or, more commonly, from sunset to nightfall. Enchanting (: I can't quite wait to read the books -swoons. Need I point out my two other favourite favourite movies are Edward Scissorhands and Interview with a Vampire! Anyway, Supermassive Black Hole (also played in Dracula's) is bloody addictive. There's just something about it, the voice that beat those lyrics. Props to Muse really :D It is one of those songs; to-die-for. Homebound soon, excited no? Twilight again anyone? Saturday, December 13, 2008, 07:58 p.m. Last christmas. I haven't worked in two weeks, think this means I'm fired? I need an outlet. Today was a crap day. It's no longer the silent night but solitude war, I was always the loner anyway since young. Family holds little meaning. Is there anyone who will donate money to my I-wanna-put-braces fund? Ibank(Sg) or Netbank(Au) transfers accepted. Cash preferred. Any amount will be appreciated (: Sunday = Crapday Monday = Crap-on day Tuesday = Crap-due day Wednesday = Crap-ness day Thursday = Crap-pers day Friday = Crap-free day (YAY) Saturday = Crap-ur day Welcome to the days of my life :D My God I thought you were someone to rely on
Tuesday, December 9, 2008, 12:01 p.m.Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on Is anyone out there? Revive. Hello, I'm back from Adelaide (: It's summer but Melbourne's still damn cold, madness. I have super gum healing powers, S-U-P-E-R. Lousy face though so absolutely zilch pictures of me HAHA. Day 1: We arrived bloody early we couldn't check in yet (Mercure) so we drove to the National Wine Centre planning to educate the sommelier's in us HAHA. Cheapskates like us; drove past the Botanic Garden and Zoo because it just wasn't worth our money. And, Cherie Maine! Even at Adelaide we were cheated by the Cheap Eats :O The horror please. Dinner at Gouger street wasn't too bad. Anyway, the Central Market was awesome. So awesome I wish Victoria market was half as good ): Okay I'm exaggerating but there was a lot more variety there.  Day 2: We went to Hahndorf (German settlement in Adelaide) to see Melba's chocolate factory and some cheese factory which was ho-hum only. Penfold's and Wolf Blass were the highlight for my brother. The Beerenberg Strawberry farm had deliciously sweet strawberries!! We didn't pluck any but I bought one chocolate dipped one and hell was it juicy and sweet, mmm (: Went to the German Cake shop and walked around. Dinner from Wok in the Box haha.  Day 3: Jetty road is somewhat like St. Kilda but there was someone selling camel and pony rides! Mexican tacos and Sticky date (Bracegirdles) for lunch then we rushed back for the Rundle street market. So I blamed my brother for waking up late (say 12pm) and he blamed me for spending an additional half hour in Sportsgirl- because the stalls were all packing up by the time we reached ): Dinner at Gauchos (Argentinian) where the wagyu was alright and my yearling beef was.. chewy. The President's selection was opened and we ended up laughing at the most non-laughable things in the world. Drunks zzz.   Day 4 (no pics): Went to Harbourtown (like DFO) and there wasn't much to shop also. We ended up watching Four Holidays at Hoyts after driving around looking for a cinema :/ I GOT THE HSM3 WATER BOTTLE LEH :D Shawn Leo: Everytime I go somewhere new I must always look for Chinatown.. It makes the place, less foreign. I feel safer there.  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Boring place with good company ((: Monday, December 1, 2008, 04:02 p.m. Impulse. Today I got up, got dressed (MK style) and got to the city. Had that spinach ricotta cheese roll we raved about before, it was alright. A tad salty and overwhelming when you've had about half of it. Walked abit and excited myself with all that candy but exercised enough self control to not buy anything. Headed to NZN to return keys. Off to borders where I sat sipping my chai soy latte and got lost in the world of Audrey Hepburn in pictures. She is delightful, elegant, charming and like so described: an enchantress. Not only did she have a traumatic childhood due to the war, two failed marriages (lousy husbands) but battled cancer- she's such a humanitarian. Sighhhhh, I'm sold. Did grocery shopping, got home and made a phonecall. Now I'm blogging while waiting for dinner (I'll miss waiting for dinner to be served up, almost automatically )))):) Oh I bought a (!) [self-help] book which I totally did not need because it repeated things I already knew of back to me. The slight difference is the non melodramatic insight Livingston provides. Though I just read a few lines to my brother who doesn't share my sentiments. HAHA. Anyway, just to tease you (Cherie). This was the awesome awesome brunch Ning and I had at Bridge road!! We'll bring you back there next time. It was really delicious, mmmmmm (:  To make my entry even longer, my brother and I booked a short flight to Adelaide. We are going to get bored and lost there. Plus attempt to walk around with the GPS as our guide, (I can hear Ning saying: It's damn boring there la!) HAHAHA :D Saturday, November 29, 2008, 11:19 a.m. Retch and Hurl. Dinner at the German restaurant opposite Shoya (: Big portions of Sauerkraut and mashed potatos and sausages (frankfurters; wurst; chilli beef) I personally think mine tasted best haha! Also live entertainment was surprising :D Great singing!  I was bullied (Ning!!) at Seven, by strangers. Sigh, I felt so pathetic and weak having to stand up to someone. My feet hurt ): Anyway there were MANY people there, people we know! Shyanne, Syafiq, Tze, Mabel..  I was never suitable for this. How did I ever think I could match up to deceit and the ability to walk through life apathetic? I had overwhelming confidence in cheap words, I'm such a kid at heart. We all do things we regret Making things right is what matters. I thought sleep could purge this poison. Turns out I was wrong since my dreams are haunting me :/ You win you win, I don't even have this cyber space which belongs to me. Go on and dictate whatever right of speech I have really. I can't seem to talk to anybody. Thursday, November 27, 2008, 02:47 p.m. Angel. Watch me speed through streets, rush through meals and speak like lightning heh. I am in a DS Lite game: Diner Dash and Cake Mania. Watch me watch me. I want to listen to Coldplay's What if It's been five months since you went away Left without a word, nothing to say When I was the one, who gave you my heart and soul But it wasn't good enough for you. No.. So I asked God God send me an Angel from the Heavens above Send me an Angel to heal my broken heart, from being in love Cause all I do... is cry God send me an Angel to wipe the tears from my eyes And I know I might sound crazy, but after all that I still love you You wanna come back in my life, but now theres something I have to do I have to tell the one that I once adored, that they cant have my love no more My heart cant take no more lies, and my eyes are all out of cries so... God Now you had me on my knees Begging God please to send you back to me I couldn't eat I couldn't sleep and You even made me feel like I could not breathe One night all I wanted to do was feel your touch And to give you all of my love but you took my love for granted Like a Chanel suit, always in style. It rained the whole day today and I piled my schedule with an appointment on the couch and a slew of Simpsons, Spongebob, Runway Project, Rachel Zoe project and Sex and the City. Thing is, I've never spent a long holiday here before. It feels weird. As though my mind will suddenly spring a surprise on me like 'I have an assignment due' or 'I gotta read my sources' something along those lines. It's more of invisible stress. Conditioned response with the location? What's more with Maine and Cherie back in sunny Sgp. I feel relatively free yet with nothing to do. Definitely unable to express myself literally. P/s. I discovered that tonight, I have a constant urge to retch. My insides are burning up; my mind is in a whirl; my eyelids are puppets to sunrays; my dreams are haunted. Think I'm coming down with something. I can't sleep I can't stay awake, Whoopee. Thursday, November 20, 2008, 01:37 p.m. Bullshit. It was a real extraction and now's the aftermath, to be repeated in two weeks :/ Sigh. My gums hurt a lot! Ouch ouch ouch On the other hand, Cherie, her mum and Glenn are coming over with dinner! Heh ((: Murphy: You can't afford to be heartless with her but you do so with me. So really, where's your heart at? Go chew on that before speaking. What a pack of lies, what were you in your previous life- a con artist? Three rebuttals only (just because I can): - Not an illusionist because it is a decent job for a living, respected and paid to pull the wool over various eyes. - Not the devil because committing one dastardly act would suffice, not several. - Not a fool because that would mean being fooled, in my sense I don't recall that. - You are not sorry. You don't understand what it means to be sorry besides running someone over and paying lip service. Sigh, I'll be fine because that's how it has been for the past five months. You were never there and I don't see a change- besides the slightly truthful side. The one who inflicts the pain will never feel the same hurt. Emphathise, but really it will never be exact. So what are you going to do? Walk? Don't think you've stopped yet. Monday, November 17, 2008, 00:34 a.m. Of late puberty. Happy 19th my darling love :D You have been my comfort, my pillar, my solace and all I can ask for in this cold fickle place (: I love you for everything you are (despite breaking hearts haha). <3 DRACULA'S WAS AWESOME SHIZ :D :D :D I am now officially in love with that HAWT girl (shit forgot her name) and the golf club wielding guy. Seriously WOW! Anyway, G and C (B) hope you two enjoyed yourselves with my (Ning and Weiling) surprise guestlist and presents heh ((: Love loads, M. Thursday, November 13, 2008, 10:45 p.m. The last straw. 當世界只剩下這床頭燈 When all that's left in the world is this lamp on my nightstand 你那邊是早晨已經出門 It's early morning where you are; you've already left the house 我側身感到你在轉身 I'm lying on my side; I can sense that you are turning around 無數陌生人 正在等下一個綠燈 Countless strangers Are waiting for the next green light 一再錯身彼此脆弱的時分 Again and again, we've missed each other's most lonely and vulnerable times 不過渴望一個吻的餘溫 However, I am still longing for the lingering warmth of your kiss 我關了燈 黑暗把我併吞 Wo I turn off the lights, The darkness engulfs and swallows me, whoa Chorus: 你不在 當我最需要愛 你卻不在 Wo You're not here Just when I need love the most You're not here, Whoa 無盡等待像獨白的難捱 Wo This endless waiting is slow torture, like a monologue 你不在 高興還是悲哀 你都不在 You're not here Happiness or Sorrow, You're not here 我受了傷再偷偷好起來 但你不在 不在 I've been hurt, and I secretly, stealthily recovered But you weren't here You weren't here 時間再按下許多次快門 Time has clicked the shutter numerous times 沉默裡聽見轉動的秒針 In the silence, you can hear the ticking second hand 一個人吃飯這個凌晨 I eat alone this early morning, this dawn 孤單一人份 你低聲說你有別人 But this loneliness belongs to just one person In a low voice, you tell me that you have found someone else 我的話筒只有自己的體溫 Against the mouthpiece of my telephone, there is only the warmth of my own body 怎樣認真也不一定成真 Oh, "earnestness can't guarantee that your dreams will come true" 你說得對 我不得不承認 Wo You were right I can't deny it, Whoa Bridge: 那些搖擺 我都明白 都明白 That kind of indecision, that swaying... I understand it all Understand it all 但你不在 愛已不在 不在 But you're not here Love has already gone It's not here 像空氣般不存在的存在 Like the air-- knowing it exists, but not knowing where it is 再沒有痕跡的愛 A love that leaves no hints or traces 你不在 當我需要你的愛 你不在 You weren't here When I needed your love You weren't here Gotta stop being so cheena HAHA. Cherie there's translation!! :O ******** Sigh, how does one maintain such rigour and zest about optimism when faced with blatant disregard and infidelity? Don't ask me really. I'm the weak one here who doesn't think she can make it out alive- because she's smothered with what-if's and memories. Though, that's just what they are: memories and images. Why do I feel as though I have nothing to my name- except words. My only weapon, tool to shield me from other deadlier instruments of harm. That isn't as powerful as people make it to be, not really. How can these black lines visually perceived mentally processed hurt you, make you bleed or want to puke? Wait. These exact same black lines have done the same to me. Now I get it. I am the weak one, not the words. Words- are powerful, strong and concrete. They hit you hard like an army with blunt knifes, but they strike you bad when you least expect and where you hurt the most. Should the person who is lied to feel more secure because he doesn't want her to get hurt? Or the one who knows more and is being truthful to feel more treasured? This is tricky. Very. Wish I were brain dead. Wednesday, November 12, 2008, 09:21 a.m. Pills and potion. Why do I feel bouts of weight heaving on my ribcage, must be the stress. Makes me feel as though I can have an anxiety attack 24-7 and I've never been this panicky before. Four exams in one week then I'm free to anticipate my wisdom teeth extraction (which my brother will be going for a stag party leaving me and foxtel home alone :/) SIGH- everyone's so heartless leaving so soon! HAHA What have I become? P.s. HAPPIE BURFDAY STEPHIE SWEETIEE :D Cheena in me acting up again hurr hurr hurr SIGH Saturday, November 8, 2008, 11:55 p.m. Murphy L. "If anything can go wrong, it will." / "Whatever that can go wrong, will. At the worst possible time in the worst possible way." How Mr. Murphy died: One dark evening (in the U.S.), Mr. Murphy's car ran out of gas. As he hitchhiked to a gas station, while facing traffic and wearing white, he was struck from behind by a British tourist who was driving on the wrong side of the road. A few rather provocative quotes (haha): MESKIMEN'S LAW "There's never time to do it right, but always time to do it over." MORACLE'S META-LAW OF SCIENTIFIC FORECASTING "The best way to predict reality, is to know exactly what you DON'T want" The past/present one a half days spent with my love and yummy mummy home deliveries (insert loads of bubble tea) were awesome :D Right now, I can't study :/ So so scared and so so screwed. Friday, November 7, 2008, 01:21 a.m. Bitchface. I'm the real menace to society and it's nobody's fault but mine. I've been demoted from the ranks above.. God save me, please Wednesday, November 5, 2008, 06:41 p.m. - How did that saying go again? Oh,- It doesn't matter that nothing came out of it, but when we look back and can tell ourselves that at least we tried. I did. And failed miserably at that too. Sigh, life seems to have taken me at a chokehold and isn't about to let up I'm afraid. I am going crazy including being emotionally unstable. Will the world just cut me some slack already? Why does it feel like I'm the letdown? The disappointment? The fool. Thanks for running me over and leaving me to bleed to death- while the whole world looks on. We deny that we're tired, we deny that we're scared, we deny how badly we want to succeed. And most importantly, we deny that we're in denial. We only see what we want to see and believe what we want to believe, and it works. We lie to ourselves so much that after a while the lies start to seem like the truth. We deny so much that we can't recognize the truth right in front of our faces. Maybe we like the pain. Maybe we're wired that way. Because without it, I don't know; maybe we just wouldn't feel real. What's that saying? Why do I keep hitting myself with a hammer? Because it feels so good when I stop. Communication. It's the first thing we really learn in life. Funny thing is, once we grow up, learn our words and really start talking the harder it becomes to know what to say. Or how to ask for what we really need. -Oscar Dahl (Grey's Anatomy) I still miss you Monday, November 3, 2008, 06:07 p.m. It was only a kiss. There are songs that remind us of fun, friendships, love and hurt. The emotions these song(s) manage to evoke are usually of serenity, content, sadness or anger. I've come across several genres applicable to all of the above but never has one engaged such inexplicable lingering emotion that I can't put my finger to. It is a blend of disappointment, hopelessness, hurt, bitterness and lost love but there isn't a proper label available. It can't be identified- that makes me feel pseudo zombie state. Does it make you feel the same? Part of the post-punk revival movement, The Killers draw influence from music styles of the 1980s and 1990s. From their debut album Hot Fuss, Mr. Brightside won Best International video (2005, MuchMusic Video Awards). Brandon Flowers Sexiest and Best Dressed Man (2005, Shockwaves NME Awards). Their accolades include several other nominations. The band's most recent work is their third album, Day & Age, which has been produced by Stuart Price and is due to be released in late November 2008. -Wiki (my new best friend) I can't sleep at night and I gotta study in the day :/ I don't need this now ): Brideshead was a little below my expectations, blame the hype! Rather spectacular nonetheless. ******** Halloween was a blast :D With our no-life-but-loving-it ways as per usual heh. Our theme was "The Opposites" dressed up as what we think we're not or not perceived as. And our pumpkin based menu for the night! I made Aglio Olio and baked pumpkins drizzled with honey and vinegar (which were awful), the rest made pumpkin+spinach puff pastry; lychee martini; pumpkin hand-puree'd soup; pumpkin ice cream and pumpkin cupcakes ((: Ning- Rock & Roll Princess (with tutu skirt!) Weiling- SLUT haha Maine- Emo kid yo Dinah- Sunshine girl/ Cheerleader Cherie- Evil witch (more good than evil) Mel- (Pretty and cute haha) Nerd There are SO many wonderful pictures I wanna put up am too damn lazy to make collages :/ Here's three to make do!   This is the one I didn't dare to tag in FB, HAHAHA. Oh well, for memory's sake (:  I honestly love my angels a lot (: And the rest in Sgp, Milan, Sydney (Brisbane haha) and California :D (Hope I didn't leave any country/state out) Thursday, October 30, 2008, 02:23 p.m. Panadol/Nurofen. Paracetamol Paracetamol (INN) or acetaminophen (USAN) is a widely-used analgesic and antipyretic medication. It is commonly used for the relief of fever, headaches, and other minor aches and pains. In recommended doses, paracetamol does not irritate the lining of the stomach, affect blood coagulation as much as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or affect function of the kidneys. However, some studies have shown that high dose-usage (greater than) does increase the risk of upper gastrointestinal complications such as stomach bleeding. Toxicity- Excessive use of paracetamol can damage multiple organs, especially the liver and kidney. That is a rather painful way to die :/ Let's all put our hands together, pray that the examinations and preparations reach at least an acceptable standard of my saying. Stress be gone The Interpreter: Vengeance is a lazy form of grief. GG: The problem with fairytales is that they set a girl up for disappointment. In real life, the prince goes off with the wrong princess- Or the spell wears off and two lovers realise they're better off as.. well, whatever they are. But I'll confess, every once in awhile, a girl craves her fairytale ending. Wednesday, October 29, 2008, 09:45 p.m. Never ever. I look at the people around me, hear stories of others- Losing someone they love or plainly falling out of love. I used to panic and worry I might become the latter. Now, I see this cluster of people (in growing numbers) including me, we're all the same. Ultimately, jaded by the seemingly intense emotion of Love. Sigh I noticed that we love to frown for the camera and upon further scrutiny- are so wrong together. I feel so cheated in every sense. On two more upbeat notes: Cherie cracked a 'joke' today when she saw a girl wearing blue stockings. "Wah she so cold until her legs turn blue"
Honestly, I was speechless -_-" (HAHA)And, Halloween dinner :D Picca picca picaaaaa (I'm really saying pictures, not Pikachu which reminds me: What happens when Pikachu's eyes fall out? YOU POKE 'EM ON (pokemon)! HAHAHAHAHA) Saturday, October 25, 2008, 01:06 p.m. White horse. Been busy busy sigh. Really stressing myself, ending up plagued with headaches :/ Feels really uncomfortable. Working weekends too. Oh well the penniless life. The pictures aren't all that flattering to Taylor Swift, she's quite a beauty and such a songstress (: Samantha (SaTC): I realised the witch in Hansel and Gretel was really misunderstood. The woman builds her dream house and these brats go and eat it. HAHA Sunday, October 19, 2008, 02:08 p.m. Kiss goodbye. Conflict conflict :/ I'd give anything to return to July 2007, to be on those steps facing the slope to your Stagmont camp. That moment when I turned around, blew a kiss and we watched each other's backs. Saying goodbye. I am chinese still. On a youtube frenzy haha Friday, October 17, 2008, 09:56 p.m. Gone. Is there bad so you would understand and appreciate the good? What about lies? Does it exist for truth to be contrasted to. How can instinct be the basis for what is belief, or that is indeed the origination of faith. Word salad equates to pseudo-schizophrenic. Let's pray catatonia follows soon (No auditory/visual hallucinations please). Careful friends, grouchiness occurs when I wake out of that state HAHA Detest my picture-less posts :/ Now I lay me down to sleep,
Wednesday, October 15, 2008, 10:17 p.m.I pray the Lord my soul to keep; When in the morning light I wake, Teach me the path of love to take. Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep; And if I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take. Empty and pain. Had mild food poisoning yesterday and two sweethearts Maine and Dinah walked me home from the law library (: Cooked me dinner! Yummy Cai po neng and seaweed + prawn porridge :D I am so loved ((: A random update: The prominent English builder and outdoorsman William Willett conceived Daylight Savings Time (DST) in 1905 during a pre-breakfast ride, when he observed with dismay how many Londoners slept through a large part of a summer day. An avid golfer, he also disliked cutting short his round at dusk. His solution was to advance the clock during the summer months, a proposal he published two years later. He lobbied unsuccessfully for the proposal until his death in 1915. The pros and cons include: probable reduction of energy use; increasing econmic effects such as increased spending; lesser traffic fatalities and mixed effects on health. (Also, it does not benefit the farmers. Supposedly) Further interest, please refer to Wiki. Saturday, October 11, 2008, 08:38 p.m. Oh Patty. Had yummy curry, mushrooms and broccoli, veggie with dried shrimps and gelato :D Cooks: Maine, Weiling, Dinah, Cherie. Runner: Me. St. Kilda tomorrow and I promise a nice picture when we're back! Can't wait for the subway lunch heh   I am a magnet for the bad news and repel all else good. You're the King. Thursday, October 9, 2008, 01:27 p.m. Tonight. Life at a standstill, wish time would stop for us students :/ Lately, any pensive random pseudo-philosophical thoughts have been washed out with OB and now Finance. It's like my mind is playing hide-and-seek or flash with me, the sudden appearance and disappearance of majestic/provocative trains. Sigh, I'm old. My reflexes aren't quick enough to catch them. Maybe while I recuperate after the exams add some Glucosamine, I'll be good as new (: See you when excitement pops in.. Or when words and pictures start floating out of my texts and talking to me hee Saturday, October 4, 2008, 04:04 p.m. I <3 Sg. I wanted to recount what we did during the previous weekend, but can't remember HAHA :P Anyway after slacking the whole first week of holidays we have been trying our best to get the study momentum going.. borderline success though ): Will try harder I guess. Also this whole week has been damn tiring since I got a job at New Zealand Natural (pfft, always cleaning). My arms are aching sore from four days straight of 14hrs work altogether ): Anyway we went for Singapore Day today and THE QUEUES WERE RIDICULOUS :/ The only ones really worth it were the (salty and sweet) Char Kway Tiao, (heavenly heavenly) CHICKEN RICE :D and Chilli Crab ((: Mm, my stomach's rumbling just thinking of it. We tried a few others but got bloody tired of queuing alr, it was crazy. Oh my Ice Kachang had one atapchi! EXCITE :D Then Maine and I went around asking ppl if they were willing to trade their free t-shirts for Kaya or Nasi Goreng paste because they ran out of t-shirts! And we actually managed to get three! Bless those kind souls (: Boulevard after-party later, heard they hired the Dj from zouk to play Mambo songs HURR You don't know my favourite lines: I’d withstand All of hell to hold your hand I’d give it all I’d give for us Give anything but I won’t give up I wanted you to stay Thursday, September 25, 2008, 08:08 p.m. Getaway. Farmstay was fantabulous :D  There were lots of trampoline-ing by mostly Dinah haha. We got to ride horses, motorbikes, skim rocks, feed chocks (Chickens), sheep and alpaca and plant grapevines. All while I was complaining "Cheap labour cheap labour." HAHA. We were stuffed about 5-7 meals per day, depending on how you count. We had a nice bbq in the woods and I love the scone made in a pot by placing coals above and below to act as a convectional oven :O (Pot on the left) And roasting marshmallows with our bonfire, very traditional.  I can't really remember what we did but I know I had a lot of fun. Playing with and disturbed by Jessica and Sophie. The stars were plenty visible at night and the skies were so clear. You could get lost for hours staring at the milky way or other constellations, amazing.  Another three jampacked activity days await. A parody of my life in GG, the irony. Oh, her name is A Sunday, September 21, 2008, 01:59 p.m. Farewell. I'm in College Square tapping of Maine and Weiling's internet and sponging off their very addictive Milo cereal now. All while I'm supposed to complete my Cognitive report. Cherie's gone back and I miss her already ): Nvm she'll have fun for me and I for her too :D I had the most awesome birthday celebration :D Eve on Friday saw the boring five of us plus my Brother, Andrew and spots of Dinah. I HAD A LOT OF FUN! Even though my feet hurt like crap in my new sexy fuchsia heels but getting a free piggyback ride was worth it (:   Dinner at Shoya on Saturday was nice (though I think I got mild food poisoning from the salmon haha) I LOVE MY CAKE AND PRESENTS! I was wondering to my brother how I felt like eating Profiteroles, how it'll be like having cupcakes for your birthday etc. and there it was on my birthday (: My angels read my mind almost like a book, hopefully not Roald Dahl type. Plus my present to myself: Sass and Bide Jeans :D   I LOVE MY ANGELS (: Happy birthday to (the new) me! 
Friday, September 19, 2008, 09:53 p.m.Romeo save me. It's the day before my birthday and for once I shall put up a nice reflective post and make it a mandatory custom. Also a happier song for a hopefully fresh-er year. I am grateful for having a supportive family although they are non-expressive, I still love them very much (: Although this year hasn't been all that smooth for me, I am surprisingly in awe of how much I've grown emotionally. Be it the countless heartbreaks I've endured in a sad few months, I am appreciative of that. Knowing that I am capable of this much sets a whole new standard of being for me. Thank you (Glenn if you see this you know you are a saint too (: ) I am very thankful for all that I have experienced in my life like my fair share of good ol' fun times in secondary school and exploring new places here in Melbourne. Mostly, the friends I have made over the years. They endure my emotional times, the crazy moments and provide only my happiest memories. They have shown me that mere presence or comfort words (food) brightens the darkest path I am on. So, please do not spend money on me because you have given me the only gift I could ever ask for: Your precious time. Needless to mention names, if you're my saint you know it (: Or I'd better let you know because I am incredibly thankful that I have each and every one of you in my life. And it is not true that only after I've been on the dark side do I notice how bright you're shining in my life. Before all this, my world was sparkling because of you. My angels (: Wednesday, September 17, 2008, 05:38 p.m. Tired of waiting. I really ought to be studying but this thought popped up in my mind and we shouldn't repress our emotional philosophical side should we? No, we shouldn't. For you animals: Anyway. If religion is about holding some faith in this omniscient being or ideal that our fate is beyond our control, it supposedly keeps our sanity stable. As 'shit happens' is a very human way of explaining the inexplicable. Are we really, as homosapiens able to live on this blind faith alone? Compare this to how the churches reacted towards the Da Vinci Code. Honestly I was too freaked out to even watch that show but pressured by my Mum (it's not scary la zzz) I did. I'm not sure how I was supposed to react because I am Roman Catholic and my faith in God is the non-staunch but I know He loves me in a though-I-don't-pray-often way. Like you, I do put matters in the pansophical once in a while when things get too trying (Note: Footprints). So, I walked out of that cinema feeling perplexed at what the hype is all about. In fact I was calm about the idea that Jesus could be human after all (this does not mean I am anti-Jesus). What is wrong about that? My point is: Would we want to learn more about the Truth and will we be able to take it? Could we survive on blind faith? Or are we fed with farce information and really are all mindless creatures, if so who are the culprits providing us with gruel for thought? Okay stress is getting to me.

My friends are saints, which includes me as well. I'll let you know when we've decided to drop by from Heaven and give you disgusting animals a visit. Feel free to read through the peekhole at my soul, envious of our divine life. Go on. Thursday, September 11, 2008, 06:00 p.m. Cigarette Lighter Love Song. And I know you're not asleep I can feel you moving over there You've been playing with the seams In your worn out underwear And my lips are raw as hell From biting on 'em just to stay awake But its not like I'm gonna need 'em, You won't be around To see them bleed and break All that I do, comes back to you So I'll just think about you 'til there's nothing in my head All I can do, is try not to screw this up again And just be friends I'd rather be dead And I drove outta east Atlanta With a headache the size of my car And I called to say I was okay, anyway Cause I know how you are I'm like a movie without an ending You know I got nowhere to go And it makes me wanna throw up To see you wanna give up More than you'll ever know Everything's supposed to have a happy ending But the record keeps skipping And the needle keeps bending Like the road I'm driving to the bridge that has no end I wanna take back everything that I've broken, But the bridges behind me are burnin' and smokin', I guess this is the end Thanks Ivan (: Please enlighten me. What have I done to be fucked with? Am I showing myself to be meek and weak overexcessively? Well, I'm not. So to all you assholes out there who are reading this (not my friends of course and no idea why the rest would be reading but they are somehow), GO FUCK YOURSELF. When I come round to messing with your life then you'd know who you're dealing with. Wednesday, September 10, 2008, 10:46 a.m. No chip.  Like a routine, only emotional, I wait for my eyes to evaporate everyday. And tomorrow the cycle repeats. Broken in every place unimaginable, when will the healing begin? Frustrated waiting. What a day. Wish I were more versatile. During my lecture, I saw an engraving on a pen this girl had "Love never fails". I came up with a conclusion that this thing called Love was actually made up by extremely judgmental people who sit on their high horses blaming the world for every imperfection (because they are consumed in their own self-righteousness). Why so, you might ask? That is because the world is too ugly a place with many areas shaded gray. In order to cover up these unsightly flaws and We turn to this idea called Love and spread it like the Bible. Our facade in this masquerade party, guestlist: The world. Have you received your invitation? Saturday, September 6, 2008, 08:01 p.m. The last goodnight. I am unworthy of right. Of love. Of you. This is an empty shell. Void. I will try no more not because I have given up. I do not deserve happiness or mildly, serenity. I love you Thank you my friends for not exposing me of this heinous truth I've disclosed. Friday, September 5, 2008, 12:28 a.m. Inconsequential. The world - 4 Melissa - 0 There's this forcefield, invisible. Makes me transparent to everybody but that pressure from the other side, the world. Is apparent harsh strong. "Love is an irresistable desire to be irresistably desired" It is me against the world. I'm alone again or was it like this all along.  No one will ever find me because that's something I can't even accomplish. This world is- devoid of compassion, empathy and love. Read between lines. You have no idea how much I want us. You have no idea how I could never let go. You have no idea how we make me happy. This will fuel me to lay buried, alive. You've got no idea because right now, you can't even see me. Starting to break us was probably the best I could ever do for you. Turns out, I'm invisible. And 'us' never existed Tuesday, September 2, 2008, 08:04 p.m. Caste system. Current mood: Konfused Why do we have this innate desire to classify. Even messy people categorise their stuff accordingly, this doesn't make sense but for a borderline untidy person (i.e. me) I actually know what my messy pile contains. Maybe, we do so to maintain order in our lives. The one thing we can control: How we live. In this so-called chaotic world, or is it? What about labelling people we know. Does it help us to store them better in separate compartments of our mind which aids remembering? Probably. Yet the effect of doing so is destructive; almost like a butterfly effect. And we're all culpable. That thing about how friendships relationships all types of ships are built on the degree of 'usefulness' (albeit emotional, financial and physical dependence) each individual is valued upon. It's true kids. Sad but true. Well we can comfort ourselves by saying that it shows how, no man is an island (: "One thing we have in common is- everybody's different." I need a constant. My very own, or I should make one up. What an incomplete entry haha Sunday, August 31, 2008, 08:47 p.m. Waste not, want not. I spent the day trying to do my readings yet ended up fussing over what to eat, admiring my cute short black nails and online shopping :/ I am rather incorrigible. I resolve to be better. Tomorrow (: Just in case: 1st September 2008 Tomorrow. Inter nos, nemo nisi mors Inspired from the Fall range of Marc Jacobs bracelet heh. Saturday, August 30, 2008, 10:11 p.m. Hay fever. I am beginning to appreciate the art of working things out, the knowledge of wanting to excel and the feeling of simplicity. You know, just being. Life is beginning to look up as the clouds part with that beautiful sun shining through (right Maine?) Stress piling up but that irrepressible optimism is a freebie when it comes to Spring. I don't think I've ever looked forward or desired a change in season more than what 2008 has brought 'till now. No matter, we should still be thankful for everything be it up or down. A note to Cherie: Chin up and stop shaking your head, zzz. The cold is getting to you. We love you (: On a wonderful side, that whole Mel's sad Let's-buy-her-a-happy-meal tradition never fails to plant that smile and warmth in my heart :D Thank you babes Thursday, August 28, 2008, 06:43 p.m. Cue: Curtains fall. Our spontaneity is a good start :D Chai sessions are always awesome with Cherie baby (HAHA)! Though my head got elbowed for no reason ): Ouch. And reading the wrong articles isn't helping my speed in clearing work. Nevertheless,  SPRING IS IN THE AIR BABES Toast to "Good riddance to Never Ever (Read: Emo Winter) again" 
Monday, August 25, 2008, 07:17 p.m.Elevator Love Letter. I'll take her home after midnight And if she likes I'll tell her How we'll be in love by the morning I don't think she'll know that I'm saying "That's not true, not true.. not. True." Sunday, August 24, 2008, 04:32 p.m. Falling apart. A nice traditional birthday dinner (:  Drive up to Mt. Dandenong for Miss Marples' scones, mmmm.  Doesn't the place look quaint (: Awfully serene yet tinseltown-ish.   Our toy shop adventure! From left: Cinderella Weiling; Sleeping Beauty Maine; Pinnochio Adi; Tinkerbell Me!; Clara Lyn; The Frog Princess Cherie and Rapunzel Ning.  Also I lost my parking ticket at Safeway. Let's see from having to open the car door to retrieve the ticket with window wound open, releasing the handbrake and stalling once (haha). The guess is it FLEW OUT THE WINDOW. So from the moment my fingers touched it and let go, I HAVE NO MEMORY WHATSOEVER OF WHERE THE HELL I PUT/DROPPED IT ): Sad case of Miscellaneous wastage: . My castle  When words have become all redundant, filtered through and through everyone with each own's perception and there isn't one which can adequately fit the way you feel. We ought to rely on images. As seen on Sara's FB : 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. Saturday, August 23, 2008, 02:44 p.m. Crepe. Sighted, Jamie, Gordon, Nigeria, Martin and Billy cooking up a storm with crepes. Mmmm. Scones tomorrow (: Spotted: Jamie succumbing to the fast food red devil KFC. Haha Serve me Love on a plate please Right now, I'm high up on a tightrope surviving on weak blind faith to pull me through. Either I make it to the other side or plunge to my death. Somehow, I don't think I can follow through. Thursday, August 21, 2008, 08:28 p.m. An excerpt. Admittedly, I'm weak and never strong enough as I thought I could be. I'm sorry. There's no hope nor future in this, I'll start. Do the unthinkable. I'll break us down first. I wish you love. Thing is, I need to know when I'm not needed, wanted or appreciated. I need to know when to be selfless. I don't matter. I'm fine with that. Weirdly enough, I really am. Fine with being inconsequential matter, the back seat passenger. What I don't get is why am I such an optimist when it comes to us. The eternal optimist they call me (really almost never). Haha I lie you lie. Our pants are on fire. Zzz. -------- A snippet to my window through Westlife (haha) and Lifehouse. I'd add Rooster too but let's not make this into an essay of lyrical excerpts. Sigh, Deep and meaningless you speak of an echo. I cant breathe When my heart is broke in two There's no beat Without you You're not gone, but you're not here Is this the way it seems tonight If we could try to end these wars I know that we can make it right I know that we can make it right Its gonna take a little time Lets not leave ourselves with no way out Lets not cross that line Remember that, I made a vow That I will never let you go I meant it then, I mean it now And I wanna tell you so
I know you deserve much better
Wednesday, August 20, 2008, 07:59 p.m.Remember the time I told you the way that I felt And that I'd be lost without you and never find myself Let's hold onto each other above everything else Start over, start over My sacrifice. If I am lost for a day, Try to find me. But if I don't come back Then I won't look behind me. And all of the things that I thought were so easy Just got harder and harder each day. I dreamed I was dying as I so often do And when I awoke I was sure it was true. One day I'll be sand on a beach by the sea The pages keep turning. I mark off each day with a cross And I'll laugh about all that we've lost. From you to me to you. I don't think I've ever stopped dreaming about it. Monday, August 18, 2008, 08:13 p.m. Maybe baby. Maybe sometimes we need to get rid of whatever we can that will not remind us of past hurt. Maybe sometimes we need to be more forgiving and understanding instead of trying to overlook faults or be negligent towards matters. Maybe sometimes we're trying too hard; torn apart and yes. The timing is beating our hearts. Maybe.. Maybe you need to do more than you can or at least try to. Without me having to ask. Maybe you need to want this more than I do. Maybe, I need you to. M. Sunday, August 17, 2008, 01:06 p.m. Take a bow. Would you run inside a burning inferno telling yourself you could put that fire out yourself? Would you after getting burnt, ran outside and got doused by water, STILL run inside that same burning inferno? I would not. Well unless that blazing building is my home. Not house, but my home. That either I die inside it because I know I cannot live on the outside without it. Then really, I wouldn't. When you're dreaming with a broken heart The waking up is the hardest part You roll out of bed and down on your knees And for a moment you can hardly breathe ******** Happy 25th Birthday my Dearest brother (:  
Saturday, August 16, 2008, 03:01 p.m.. I don't mean to confuse my friends (who actually bother to read this) but I myself am really confused. So after reading everything and you think I'm fucked up and just one really messed up person. Congratulations to me for being able to relate to you, how I'm feeling inside. It's a great feat because up to now I can't even start answering myself about all the dilemmas. Can't even relate to myself. Some days when you feel so detached. Like your soul walked out of your body, and you're watching yourself go about your life. You just can't connect with yourself. Screaming to get your own attention but it doesn't work because no sound comes out. You know you're alone. I need to pick myself out of all these insecurities. Thing is, it's so fucking hard that I could really give up trying. What with stress from school and all, without my friends I probably would've broken down already. I know I'm stronger than that because I have to be. Not because I am. I've already travelled the road less taken with no intention of turning back. Let's hope this journey does not kill me. I think, I'm just hungry. That must be it. And no pictures because I realised I'm too lazy to change the image sizes to fit my pitas (I really should move to blogspot or lj). Zzzz. Maybe a nice one from tonight (: Thursday, August 14, 2008, 01:17 p.m. Not what I need. I should be enjoying life and getting more out of it. It isn't short because that's the longest we're ever gonna get, but why waste it? I should move on. Gotta start by completing my OB. Zzzz. Come to think of it, I'm surprised at what Love means to everyone. Even more so, how ours was built on mere memories. Not by constant presence, not by physical touch and not even by looking through the reality mocking computer screen. But words and images in our minds. Playing everyday, reminiscing familiarity falling back on sound through the line. It is strong, no matter how much I want to deny. Love is. Yet all I want is to get away from all this. Get away from you. Leave me alone and just go, I beg of you. I am NOT your one stop convenience shop. I can't even be bothered to explain myself anymore. Really. This time pack your bags and walk away. I can't stand the sight of this. Of you. Of me. Monday, August 11, 2008, 09:37 p.m. Talk is cheap. This is so open, but You know what you need to do. Tell - what is to be said, leave no ambiguities at all tie up all loose ends. Come back to me, or not. I am not going to leave this all hanging like when I was willing to wait. I am no fool. I always thought I was strong enough to tolerate all this, take it all in. I am not. I could never give you the time I promised I'm sorry for that. Sorry that I am not as solid as I said I would be. Really I am jelly. Leave me to ferment or eat me up, either way I will have disintegrated ultimately. Pasta, Pizza and Pinot Noir at Papa Gino's with Steph. Chocolate and Melting Pot White with Cherie and Ning after. Turkish Delight and Twisties. MUCH MUCH HAVOC and ONE ORGANISATIONAL BEHAVIOUR ASSIGNMENT = PANIC STRICKENED Zzzz. Sunday, August 10, 2008, 05:41 p.m. Stuck in a rut. Steph's here and it has been awesome. In fact so great I wish we were travelling the world together soaking up each other's company. Stuffing ourselves silly (: lab·y·rinth /ˈlæbərɪnθ/ –noun 1. an intricate combination of paths or passages in which it is difficult to find one's way or to reach the exit. 2. a maze of paths bordered by high hedges, as in a park or garden, for the amusement of those who search for a way out. 3. a complicated or tortuous arrangement, as of streets or buildings. 4. any confusingly intricate state of things or events; a bewildering complex. 5. (initial capital letter) Classical Mythology. a vast maze built in Crete by Daedalus, at the command of King Minos, to house the Minotaur. I'm tracing my hand along the thorny hedges. One way or another I know I'm walking out of this. I'm letting him up, like meat to a dog. Thursday, August 7, 2008, 09:31 p.m. Long forgotten. Promises are made to be broken. I took for granted All the times, what i thought would last somehow I hear the laughter I taste the tears But i can't get near you now Oh can't you see it baby You've got me going crazy Where ever you go, whatever you do I will be right here waiting for you Whatever it takes, or how my heart breaks I will be right here waiting for you Words are the cause of my downfall. Trust is gone like the security blanket Mummy threw out ages ago. Never to be recovered. I never believed that people would need someone else to survive. Not in the context of being stranded on a lone island with no survival skills whatsoever or how in reality we do require the help of others at times. In the ideal fantasy of "I can't live without you" which is really just, a hallucination induced by depressed emotions. We are only creatures of habit in need of company, comfort and familiarity. Love is something we're all too familiar with yet we don't know what it is. The heart is an elusive object. I could never capture. Not even my own. I don't wanna fight no more I forgot what we were fighting for And this loneliness that's in my heart Won't let me be apart from you. "It has been well documented that individuals escalate commitment to a failing course of action when they view themselves as responsible for the failure." Monday, August 4, 2008, 06:17 p.m. Alone. We're probably in the stage where we bathe in the joy that our presence is felt in each other's life. Yet we don't intend to act, repair and deal with it. Rather, more ready to leave things stagnant. Not constant; because I believe relating to a constant is to be contented in that state. Moving forward or back brings nothing. I suppose. Maybe we should employ guerilla warfare. I've had a headstart. Why hasn't this cold cold weather frozen the seat of my emotions over Take time to realize, Oh, oh, I'm on your side. Didn't I, didn't I tell you? Take time to realize this all can pass you by. Didn't I tell you? But I can't spell it out for you. No, it's never gonna be that simple. No, I can't spell it out for you. If you just realize what I just realized, Than we'd be perfect for each other, And we'll never find another. Just realize what I just realized, We'd never have to wonder, If we missed out on each other oh. It's not the same. No, it's never the same, If you don't feel it too. If you meet me halfway, If you would meet me halfway, It can be the same for you. Saturday, August 2, 2008, 11:11 p.m. Over the moon. I officially have Tuesday and Thursday's FREEEEEEEE :D :D :D Hurray! Terribly disappointed with last semester's results and promised myself no more nonsense affecting the all important studies. TSK. Quick update, mm. Nothing much's happening 'cept for the lousy car my brother's driving which got broke into (nothing was literally broken) and had his ipod and sunglasses stolen. Angmoh's who think all Asians have strictly chinese names. Zzzzzzz (my new catchphrase which I think is terribly apt don'tknowwhy). Oh and timetable switching EXCITEMENTTTT! Step off you guilt tripping slut and know your place. Tuesday, July 29, 2008, 03:49 p.m. Fall for you. The best thing about tonight’s that we’re not fighting Could it be that we have been this way before I know you don’t think that I am trying I know you’re wearing thin down to the core But hold your breath Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you Over again Don’t make me change my mind I won’t live to see another day I swear its true Because a girl like you is impossible to find You’re impossible to find This is not what I intended I always swore to you that I would never fall apart You always thought that I was stronger I may have failed But I have loved you from the start Oh, But hold your breath Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you Over again Don’t make me change my mind I won’t live to see another day I swear it’s true Because a girl like you is impossible to find It’s impossible to find So breathe in so deep Breathe me in I’m yours to keep And hold onto your words ‘Cause talk is cheap And remember me tonight When you’re asleep Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you Over again Don’t make me change my mind I won’t live to see another day I swear it’s true Because a girl like you is impossible to find You’re impossible to find To me. To you. To world enough and time. Friday, July 25, 2008, 02:10 a.m. Truth in your eyes. Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings. -Anais Nin. My literacy is reserved for other means, my apologies for this stagnant period. Meanwhile, enjoy my borrowed eloquence (no I'm not trying to copy some other 'literature major's' writing style) (: Wednesday, July 23, 2008, 04:59 a.m. Yesterday. I just can't believe you're gone Still waiting for morning to come Wanna see if the sun will rise Even without you by my side When we had so much in store Tell me what is it I'm reaching for When we're through building memories I'll hold yesterday in my heart, in my heart They can take tomorrow and the plans we made (plans we made) They can take the music that we'll never play All the broken dreams Take everything Just take it away, but they can never have yesterday They can take the future that we'll never know (no no) They can take the places that we said we would go All the broken dreams Take everything Just take it away, but they can never have yesterday You always used to stay I should be thankful for everyday Heaven knows what the future holds Or at least how the story goes (but I never believed them 'til now) I know I'll see you again I'm sure No, it's not selfish to ask for more One more night, one more day One more smile on your face But they can't take yesterday I thought our days would last forever (but it wasn't our destiny) 'Cause in my mind, we had so much time But I was so wrong Now I can, believe that I can still find the strength in the moments we made I'm looking back on yesterday (All the broken dreams take everything) But they can never have yesterday Credits to Joe. Monday, July 21, 2008, 12:41 a.m. Ode to despair. "That's what alcoholics do. It's in their job description: Fall apart, and then keep falling apart. " We eat Foie Gras spread on toast for supper in front of a chinese drama serial. Classy like that, my Mum and I. (: Monday, July 7, 2008, 01:57 a.m. Familiarity. We were as one, babe For a moment in time And it seemed everlasting That you would always be mine Now you want to be free, yeah So I'm letting you fly 'cause I know in my heart, babe Our love will never die, no You'll always be a part of me I'm part of you indefinitely Boy, don't you know you can't escape me Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby And we'll linger on Time can't erase a feeling this strong No way, you're never gonna shake me Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby I ain't gonna cry, no And I won't beg you to stay If you're determined to leave, boy I will not stand in your way But inevitably, You'll be back again 'Cause you know in your heart, babe Our love will never end, no I know that you'll be back, boy When your days and your nights get a little bit colder, oh, oh I know that you'll be right back, baby Oh baby, believe me, it's only a matter of time You'll always be a part of me I'm part of you indefinitely Boy, don't you know you can't escape me Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby And we'll linger on Time can't erase a feeling this strong No way, you're never gonna shake me Ooh darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby Always be my baby... No this is not my way of using a song to say what I feel inside. Lately this song has been my new antidote (: Soothing to the amnesic mind. What could have been. Okay new pictures coming soon, promise. Tatt audience; Hancock; Hooters and Fashion bar with the group + Eric's friends; shopping with Jan over the weekend. Thursday, July 3, 2008, 01:20 a.m. Too open. What happens when doubt creeps into your mind through a door left ajar absentmindedly. What does it show. Why are all these farfetched(?) thoughts walking itself through my mind. Questions with no answers do not deserve a mark. Sorry for all these pictureless posts hopefully colour will make it's way in soon. I'm hopeful, too hopeful. Happy birthday Tuesday, July 1, 2008, 01:04 a.m. Tech savvy. Work has been a real killer to me and somehow I do wish I was working in B&J's just because it's more slack there :/ I have bangs and permed hair which makes me look like a poodle but I don't seem to care that much. GIRLS ARE SO BITCHY. The idea of cuisine doesn't really enthrall me, not anymore. Being the semi-proud owner of two new phones (LG Secret(!) and Samsung i780 (GPS!)) doesn't make me excited also. The open book. Holding on for reasons unknown or unnamed. Really is that all there is to this and us? I thought more. Will time away really make the heart grow fonder or cold and guarded? The latter walks close with me. Maybe I need constant reassurance, presence and affirmation that is hard to keep up with. When a bone is fractured repeatedly does the healing result in stronger or more brittle protection? In either I believe mine is almost beyond repair, I know so is yours worse. To think I have to 'communicate' or think expressively through such pathetic methods probably proves as much the extent to which I feel inside. A tangled heap of gooey melted mess, disintegrating. Or really trying desperately to reach out and mend the new me. A hard and fast decision should be made and upheld instead of prolonging my misery close to every night/day and raising false hopes. I don't know about you, that is the problem. It is better to not have experienced the joy of having something than to withstand the pain of losing it. Especially when it is your consequence to bear. Tuesday, June 24, 2008, 12:16 a.m. Home sweet home. Sorry for the lack of visuals but lately I haven't been feeling up to the mood of photos (fat ugly and all). Anyway I used up half a tank in say two days? Haha! Going to and fro Simei; prata + teh cino (yummy); many tries at reverse parking; MY HUMAN GPS absolute love! With morning MTV and attempted workouts; getting lost on the AYE/CTE/TPE; no season pass parking; many many more most certainly and finally getting home my lonesome self via CTE(AMK) :D :D :D Tuesday, June 17, 2008, 12:40 p.m. Dream maker. Since the ancient times music has been the way of expressing emotions, namely love. However through modernisation it seems we're willingly categorised by our song choices and terms like 'our song' and such. So we make ourselves out to be individualistic but actually we are plainly very common. Is it true that a song(s) can fully express everything there is in a relationship or be what love is about? Or do we instead attach whatever sentiments towards the significant other to the song thus making it memorable and insightful? What happened to good 'ol loving. On a sidenote being home with little human contact (E.g. Cherie, Ning, my Brother, Disney channel, Fox8, Arena and Dinah) seems to have moulded me into someone devoid of personal skills. Maybe it was already lacking from the start. Another bad day. I left the stove on (for godknows what amnesic memory) and ended up with burnt chicken soup and cold turkey breast for dinner. Then, my nail broke while I forcefully tried to poke my way into a yakult pack. Just great. Thursday, June 12, 2008, 11:41 p.m. FAB. The Great revelations :O The shall-not-be-mentioned-subject was really really scewed and for once I was thinking "Not sure can pass!" (Haha) which scared me bad. Not learning from my mistake I still don't want to do my Neuro report (yes still not finished). I don't understand why, 'cept maybe for the 5reference limit thought to suffice. Right, think we've scared Maine enough for next year. I smell something in the air.. freedom. So close yet so far ): Update: After handing in the worst essay written combined with down in the dumps mood (incl. yesterday's exam) a lil' grocery shopping and girl time helped (: I wanted to study Neuro but ended up giving myself a night off which I know I'll definitely regret. I can just hear the voices saying "WHY WHY WHYYYYY?" Thursday, June 5, 2008, 12:21 p.m. Hoodwinked. For the record I haven't left my house for close to a week. Imagine that! Now, my right hand is sore from the little note writing I've done and my neck and shoulder muscles ache from my not so comfortable sitting position :/ Time out time out. Developmental study session, followed by Korean bbq tomorrow with Dinah and the gang. Then Sex and The City (: Uncle Toby's pulled a fast one on me ): Monday, June 2, 2008, 10:30 p.m. Fabulous Trash. It's SWOTVAC and I'm gonna stay holed up at home with oats for company. Sad but true. Anyway I finally passed my driving (YAY me!) though I think it was a total fluke because I was so nervous my legs couldn't stop shaking/twitching. Imagine uncontrollable clutch, the horror! So the gang (minus Maine) threw a mini WiiFit celebration for me in attempt to get me high (: I even received a set of three tiered pink chocolate boxes imagine my immense surprise (though I secretly think they just want me to grow fatter because I keep sneaking pieces out of it)! Awfully sweet and I had tons of fun. But, but..  I really wanted to drive home! Haha, now the dram's all over we can get down to the books. Dinah's here already she's the semi-invisible guest. Heh, better for me. I still can't quite get over the fact that I got my driving license. It doesn't even seem surreal. It just doesn't seem real. Sweet sweets :D  Thursday, May 29, 2008, 02:14 p.m. Frozen feet. Tomorrow's judgement day. Sunday, May 25, 2008, 07:36 p.m. Cold sweat and wild imaginations. My Mum, second Brother and his Girlfriend are here. I have an extremely clean house (toilet and balcony (:)! They went panning for gold today while I stayed home attempting my Neuroscience references. Terribly torturous. We brought them clubbing at Eve on friday. Ended up with hilarious drunken stories for each of us Leo's.  Mine would be texting Cherie thinking I was replying Haoming and waking up to a blueblack on my knee. Too funny. Trust me, my brothers' stories are funnier. Tag if you really wanna know and I'll consider revealing. Pictures!  Koko black and look at those adorable Cavalier King Charles pups (from Victoria Market) stacked together! Aren't they the cutest? :D     Finally,  We went Crown like 5 out of 7 days! Now my fridge and bank account is stuffed I am a happ-ier me (: Tuesday, May 20, 2008, 07:51 p.m. Run amuck. I am disturbed because I do not look like I have a Malaysian face. (I think) For some who'd know why, I dislike being associated with being a Malaysian (no offence intended!). Clarification: It's not that I find Malaysians ugly or anything in fact I have quite a few hot Malaysian friends! It's just personal, yeah. Sunday, May 18, 2008, 03:02 a.m. Audrey Hepburn's gown. Day before on Thursday Ele and I had lunch before my tutorial. It wasn't too bad considering it was my first time at Mercadante, good service (:  Shopping at Chapel Street with Ele on friday with limited buys and homemade sticky date pudding made from a bakery (which had hair in it :O). Paparazzo shot.  Sticky date containing hair :S  POLAROIDS :D (Gonna get meself one too!)   Dinner at YourThai then Freddos with Cherie, Ning and Ele before meeting up with the rest. There was some major drama with the dishonest cab driver where Adi saved the day, I'm impressed :D   Cherie's tequila shot and Adi's tongue :D  Awww.  She was really tired, heh.  Celebrating Darren's birthday at Eve (: Happy 21st!  MacDonald's and home after, pooped. Continuing our 'surprise' celebration today at Cherie's place with an aquatic theme everyone dressed in stripes and two awesome YUMMY main dishes cooked by Adi, Lyn and Ning Chilli Crabs and Laksa.     Followed by Truth or Dare and Charades late into the night (:   The awfully gross Ballut they made me try while Adi and Bryan tasted for fun. HAHA, kudos to his "I put anything in my mouth". Seriously.  Charades (:  Tres (awkward) fun. Hello Jane. Tuesday, May 13, 2008, 11:15 p.m. Whatever it takes. My stomach growled probably ten times in fifteen minutes during the lecture, HOW EMBARRASSING. Anyway Dondon with Maine was satisfying in more ways than hunger ;) What happened in Vegas was a rather feel-good chick flick, but hilarious nonetheless. Though Cameron Diaz looks really OLD yuck. Sick conversations from supper to walks home, TSK. Talks about "getting into cars", "do you have a brother?" and "my pony will ride your crocodile anyime". GOSH. Saturday, May 10, 2008, 06:51 p.m. What the world needs now. Updated (: Edit: I hate the shaky unreliable grapevine they call the chain of gossip. I hate myself for believing it and hating the responses and consequences accompanied with it. I hate the people involved for denying such actions of hearsay and the rules of gender codebook. I hate the technology which creates mudpools of misunderstandings. I hate the person who thinks he can shoot the messenger (Note: E). I hate that I didn't prevent it although I did entice without provocation. I hate my face. I hate my body. I hate unflattering pictures which I wish I could physically rip myself apart and create a new me. I just want my new camera to keep me happy for a while. Just a while. After DFO shopping with Ele where I played her personal shopper. We had our happy hour plans (with Cindy, Darren, Adi, Lyn, Cherie, Bryan and Ning) ruined due to some miscommunication and dinner was at 100mile cafe. Followed by separate dessert plans, us at Max Brenners. Seventh wheel/lightbulb/gooseberry at Lavish. Fun, dance and drinks. Pictures to follow, this blog is too plain and intellect stimulating attemptive.  Tell me about it ;)  Awww, poor Mel putting on a strong front ):  Anyway paintball today was exhilirating; painful; a tad too scarily competitive (?) and overall just painful. I have a bruise on my left shoulder + fourth finger and right arm. My brother and his friends were complaining: "Eh, why all the injury all blame us?! We know the Rules of Engagement okay. Maybe its the other ppl from our team? TSK." "Because you guys are OLDER and have been to the ARMY. So I presume you were the ones with such ferocity. HAHAHA :P" Before the damage, all smiley. 
Thursday, May 8, 2008, 07:03 p.m.Pensive. I guess after stuffing my face with chocolate and almonds feeling very Fat, I had this sudden meditative mood. Why can't everyone just get along. It's individualism that keeps us apart, but we're really a collective whole. On a realistic happier note: Charlotte (whom I don't have pictures of yet) and I started on our QM assignment alr though it just came out and is due on 21st of May! :D YAY, nerds. Ele's here and she'll be meeting my friends and we're going DFO shopping (though I can't afford to spend much, say My Neuro report is due 13th June? Haha, but okay I'm gonna start soon so I can enjoy more when my Mum's here (: And, I GOT MY FLIGHT (after much hassles and calls)! Though it's still a transit I still got the day and good timing (: Wednesday, May 7, 2008, 08:11 p.m. A fresh page. I. Love. Iron. Man. Though I really did like the previous song, a change should be good. Thursday, May 1, 2008, 10:06 p.m. To you. If I could turn back time, I'd warn that girl not to open Pandora's box. For it would turn on her; casting Medusa's head as hers. Making her someone full of hate, bent against the whole world and even that single one person who'd willingly stand with her through it all. With one last blow in turn, that person would dig her heart out in all its black gory. Hold it tightly wrenched in his fist. Bursting all air and blood out of the muscles that hold, leaving it as one black pile of mess. On the floor. She'd say "Thank you" for relieving her of this angst because she was never able to let that person be treated exactly the way he should be. Letting go was possibly the best thing she could ever give back to him. This is my gut wrenching story. Appreciate and mince through it delicately while you watch me bleed to death. Wednesday, April 30, 2008, 08:17 p.m. The world will never be the same. A message later, I have Happy meal and chocolates delivered to me door (: Happy meal and chocolates, cheers to friendship. All the warmth I can have in this dead winter night. Hey there Delilah. All the time I hid behind my fort, after a whirlwind wrecked through. I'm left to clear the mess. Tuesday, April 29, 2008, 07:56 p.m. Chocolatier. Dondon with Maine after the twohour 9am lecture I SURVIVED (this week) :D We went on to Chinatown, Bubble tea & Yoghurt plus a half hour snooze with Amazing Race on Foxtel. HAHA. On a sidenote: The distance you keep makes you aloof rather than interesting, so don't just stand around waiting for attention to be showered upon you. Saying all those sweetnothings are plainly nothing, sometimes I feel that there's probably more than meets the eye. If you think I'm referring to you, Don't be so vain. Friday, April 25, 2008, 09:45 p.m. Chocolate creator connoiseur. Edit: Finally done with Developmental assignment! Next up QM group assignment and a Neuroscience report before the exams then HOLIDAYS :D Adi and I are gonna get ourselves a new camera ya'll ;) So I'm You see, I've got this Developmental report due. Yknw? Anyway so after Frankston was when Cherie's friend Karmila came for a visit and we met them for Nando's plus a visit to DFO @ Spencer where I did more shopping than our guest :O    Followed by KTV with drinks. Happy happy fun ((:  A week of school ): (Which I can't remember much about now) Yummy yummy DimSum, cooking in a pot ((:  Then Robin and Albert's birthday party at Eve! Chua came down from Canberra. We enjoyed; treated ourselves (namely: Adi, Lyn and I) to a 151; danced Mad Hatter - like; McDonald's after and a boot-seat ride back home. So gratifying (: Maine and I  What's Ning looking at?  The 'jailbirds' (:   Then it was KTV at night with Chua, Lik Hui and Bryan the next day with A WHOLE NEW experience out of this WORLD, ahem. One night of Spiderwick Chronicles ahem which Mel had her chocolate; Ning had a scare and Cherie had a blast (: Subsequent blahness of school. Which we decided to indulge in Ma La Huo Guo which was really HOT and satisfying. Not to mention the really divine treats we had later at Greco: CAKE CAKE CAKE PUDDING ((: Let's bring in the exercise machines please! I'll be back for all that I have stated happened approximately in the first three weeks of april? Saturday, April 19, 2008, 11:58 a.m. Wine waiter (wannabe). The pictures of us at Frankston after Cherie came back. WE WERE SO TRICKED BY ADI INTO THINKING IT WAS SOME SANDCASTLE CARNIVAL?! Hahaha, TSK TSK. Turned out to be some sand sculpting event where the target demographic were the ELDERLY? Think we were the only ones with non-white crowning glories :O The train ride took more than an hour!  To be greeted with such scenic views was worth it (:  Walks on the beach and mock-titanic poses.   Look at our ginormous scoops of ice cream! Mine tasted awful though :S  BLOODY HILARIOUS JUMPING SHOTS (where I'm the star who knocked Ning and Cherie's head!) HAHAHA.  This is more like it.  IKEA: The last stop. Yummy.  I am SO SO behind time for my updates )): Considering that this suburban trip happened about two weeks ago?? Wednesday, April 16, 2008, 06:15 p.m. The future is a mystery. Edit: Under Maine's encouragement I joined Facebook and upon looking at the webpage I WAS ALL LOST (and HUH-mode on repetition)? Haha, bloody hell. Andd, I joined so late only because I kept hearing BAD reviews about it. Don't blame me. Took this from my archives: You could get hurt. You could get sick. You could do all these things, and if you don't have intimate relationships that are strong, you're really alone. But alone is something I know how to do. Intimacy comes and goes. Alone is forever. Be single. Be plural. Just be. It's from the cK Be advertorial content when I was doing M&C in Trinity. I shall not be all philosophical and sorts. Lectures were spent second-guessing intentions, dissecting human nature and all things relevant. Oh Cherie how I enjoy doing these with you (: Lucky us, Developmental deadline was pushed back. Monday, April 14, 2008, 01:56 p.m. Assignments, Reports, Exams. Gosh, the work just keeps coming; outings are continuing and the photos are piling up! I haven't got down to the KTV photos and we've alr done SO MUCH MORE! KTV pictures are up (speaking of which there were two more sessions after, MORE PICTURES :O the horror). So before Cherie flew back here Ning, Lyn, Adi and I met up to CELEBRATE NING'S STREET LEGALITY!! :D  We had dinner at J's cafe where they forgot about my Tempura Udon?! Adi ordered horrid sake and force-fed me :S Ning was all mild on her triumph while we (mainly I) went crazy wanting to celebrate :D   Horton hears a Who later where we peeped in to the cardboard display in wonder, ooh.  Finally, visiting Lyn's new place (which is spacious for a studio apartment, stop complaining!)   A gentle reminder to everybody,  Time to concentrate on assignments. Tuesday, April 8, 2008, 10:29 a.m. Skip the goodbyes. Silly me changed my bag and forgot to bring BOTH my keys and phones out! I was knocking on the door, trying to wake my brother, for a while before I left for class this morning :O Anyway, so I'm done with QMII assignment rather pleased I'll say (: Just need to concentrate on reading my references for Psychology! I've only read a measly ONE (for Developmental). ____________________________________________________ EASTER! :D  Which is over alr, but let's move on and ignore that. Cherie, Maine, Weiling and I went to Weiling's Aunt's church to interview kids for our psych experiment! So naturally while waiting for her uncle to pick us up, we took A FEW pictures. Weiling if you ever read this, I'm sorry I just had to put this up. Heh.  Look at the secret camwhore ;)  Just A FEW.   And a self-timed jumping shot which this particular one had Maine bumping my head with her elbow. Hence the expressions, HAHAHAHA! Hi-5 Weiling!  We got FREE MINI EASTER EGGS! I was ecstatic at that idea and obviously am clueless to why but YAY Easter eggs.  Weiling's uncle's place in the suburbs.  I took pictures and watched their dog Scamper violate Maine and Cherie which was terribly amusing. Secretly, I think Cherie was pleased ;)  The day ended with Weiling's aunt and uncle bringing us out for supper/dinner at Sharkfin Inn. Which was continued by KTV later in the 'morning' with my brother and his friends.    Look at her drinking the Malibu pineapple whcih she believed Cherie that it was 'just some pineapple juice'!   Then Cherie decided to FLY HOME and leave me here. She thinks I didn't enjoy her absence, ha ha. Anyway, I stayed up for an extra two hours after KTV to bake them carrot&walnuts cupcake so that they could eat on the plane at night and to celebrate easter (: We met Cindy for brunch at Pancake Parlour because the city was empty and thanking our good fortunes it was open! Customary shot.    Our yummy yummy food :D  The remnants of my raspberry rhubarb with mascarpone cheese :S  Picking up Cindy's luggage.  And goodbye Cindy and Cherie Sunday, April 6, 2008, 09:29 p.m. Your stories my alibis. Anyhoo after my pitas fiasco I immediately backed up a copy of my template, phew. That really made my heart skip a beat! I went into overdrive and decided to TRY and make my pictures in as chronological a sequence as possible, which meant I had to photoshop them according to earliest first. BLOODY TIRING considering I should be reading my psychology references instead. I guess today was another fruit-less day )): When I think about how many other countless pictures I'll take from Cherie from our shopping trip and dimsum brunch. I think I'll faint from imagining exhaustion, if that even exists. First clubbing at se7en, us 'frogs' finally went clubbing. Seriously, the past year in Melb I only went once and that was for Adi's brother's birthday! I'm such a hermit. Weiling getting dolled up!  Us eating at Dessert House.  My Love (:  I ordered this delicious LOOKING French Toast and was eating happily (even though it tasted really bland and awful) to find that there was a piece of PLASTIC while I was chewing my food? WTF. Complained and got another one which tasted equally as bad.  We took SO MANY PHOTOS on the way there, we really were early but late enough to be met with a loonngg queue.    Lastly,  Weiling, Cindy and Maine on the dancefloor shaking their thang!  My superemogirl shot, credits to Cherie again (:  Next, the MediaCorp event we went because there was said free food and free MobTV :D Enduring that long long speech wasn't even close to worth it, I was dying of hunger pangs. They were rather scheming to serve canapes (=not real food) after the wait. Needless to say we went a little cuckoo after and was imitating Maine's signature 'twist' pose!  Well at least we got to meet Lucas Chow the CEO of MediaCorp and I must say his success story is tres inspiring! Then,  Though I didn't really help but I did buy drinks and move the furniture! The food was scrumptious in all homemade goodness (: Soon to come, updates for the psych interview before Easter; My Love and Cindy's departure and celebrating for Ning (sake anyone?)! :D Saturday, March 29, 2008, 08:44 p.m. Every moment's a day. I now have a ROUND black opaque glass dining table and an unstable white bed frame with no wooden base (wtf right?) from IKEA and FOXTEL! Haha, now we have to go back and get that base. Wonder why it wasn't stated that there was another package also! TSK! >:| Oh, can someone tell me why after uploading a video in Photobucket for the millionth time, I STILL DON'T SEE IT IN MY ALBUM?! Dangit. Past outing pictures coming soon once I upload my thumbdrive. Soon. p/s (020408 0100hrs) I HAD SUCH A SCARE WHEN I THOUGHT THE PITAS SERVER WAS DOWN! I didn't save my template which meant that I'd have to start over :O THE HORROR and all my entries will just be a separate link (if I had to make a new blog). GOSH, WHAT A FRIGHTENING THOUGHT :S Tuesday, March 25, 2008, 11:10 a.m. Bring you home. Truth be told, I can't concentrate on Development Psychology references or my up-and-coming Quantitative Methods II Assignment that's due soon )): And Charlotte (my new friend :O) just text me to say she's starting. Gosh, stupid Easter holiday. I AM KIDDING. Sing Yee and I went all the way to Mont Albert in the suburbs to interview her mother's friend's friend's child. She's so pretty and couldn't wait to bring all her toys out to show us, even the toy Pelican came out. Haha, typical of kids. Even though I did the interview previously with Weiling, Cherie and Maine (with another girl who was really pretty and rather cheeky) I didn't even get bored doing this again! ;) I never thought of myself as a child person :O :O No pictures though. Big MAMA with Cherie. Unexpectedly near, unexpectedly cheap and surprisingly not too bad (:    The weather was so HOT, my dear Cherie decided it was time to cool off a bit by tipping some water down her shirt. TSK TSK, she did that when we were at the tram stop after. DOWN HER PANTS, HAHAHA.  Random shot of what I cooked for dinner that day which I am very proud of. It tastes better than it looks!  Anyway, MOOMBA FESTIVAL ! We don't have much of an idea why it's celebrated here, so if you're interested go google it. We were there just to view the rides and FIREWORKS :D    < I can't help scolling to my previous post and STARE at the sushi. Having no affordable Japanese food around here is very very screwed up >:| Sunday, March 23, 2008, 06:54 p.m. Summer holiday 1.4 Sad to say, this is the last of the posts from Singapore I suppose, Updating while I'm waiting for Lipstick Jungle to load! After we came back from Bangkok I had about five days left, HAHA. I remember because I picked out outfits for those days so that my bag could be packed in advance, kiasu. Anyway, the pictures are just pieces of what happened ): Coffe Club dessert cravings, mmm (:  Trying out someplace new, Pasta Cafe in Taka.    Meeting Jan and Jon for dinner at Imperial Treasure (where Jon gave us a treat, thankyou!)  Gloria Jean's coffee after.  Joe and her group in Homeclub (:  The bestest (: (this was one of the shots Haoming took to prove she's camera-ready EVERready! I have a few more.)  The last day before my flight )): We just had to go back to...  Now when I look at these pictures I feel this intense craving to eat mediocre Japanese food so as to mildly satiate myself ): So pathetic. The fugu (sweetened puffer fish) which Haoming thinks tastes like ba gua can't be found affordably here.  Haoming's masterpiece with the quail egg shell and toothpicks.  THE MOST DELICIOUS; HEAVENLY and ORGASMIC-TASTING SUSHI ! :D :D :D  Just look at us savouring the taste, GOD I WANT TO EAT THAT NOW )):   Goodnight lovely sushi, I'll devour you again in June/July. Lovelove. Friday, March 21, 2008, 09:32 p.m. Vanilla Sky. Bangkok Post! I can sense the anticipation all round! Hah, wish I was back there though ): Long picture post, probably in order of events.   We stayed in Asia hotel (cheap deluxe room internet rates!) and look at the Elephant made of hand towels! :O  Too hungry, we settled for somewhere suitable right ouside the hotel.  Bought Sky passes that expire in FIVE YEARS?! I predict more trips to come :D   We went to the famous lil' four-faced buddha 'temple' (almost got conned into buying incense+flowers), attempted to walk back towards Siam Square, were bloody DEADBEAT in the sweltering heat and decided to stop in some Megastore along idon'tknowwhere for air conditioning.    Haoming made me take this shot for some warped reason.  Did some cheapass French manicure and Natalie had her decorated manicure badly done while the boys had cloud-stepping-after-effect foot massages. Mighty jealous. Haoming bought some weird Thai durian dessert that tastes just as weird as it looks, HAHA. Food court COUPONS?  The following is only a quarter true.  Feeling very rich we had a fit-for-royalty Japanese dinner :D  Waking up real early to catch the FREE breakfast buffet (cheap-o we like), we caught a dip in the hotel pool. Who does that!? :O Yes I know I'm looking a tad colourful there :S  Anyway, we took hilariously retarded underwater shots that we look dead/dying which cannot be shown for health reasons. Here's a safe one for the sake of your heart.  Tuk tuk rides all the time, any time (:  Chinatown with their ripoff (probably) bird's nest and plentiful wholesale accessories no-discounts ):    SUAN LUM at night :D We were so early our first few buys had good prices! Like cutting 400Baht off a bag? Wow desperation, YAY US.  Worn out bodies we treated ourselves to a full body Thai massage. God I love it when my joints/knuckles/vertebrae are cracked (: No pics here. Next shopping stop: Jatujuk weekend market! Where we had Kway Teow and SEVERAL popsicles (grape, my fave!)  Trust me. I was VERY VERY TEMPTED to abduct those puppies and smuggle them into Singapore where they wouldn't have to be quarantined for THREE WHOLE MONTHS (yes I even researched)!  Our legs were SO (in Haoming's terms) shagged = FOOT MASSAGE :D  CABBAGES AND CONDOMS :D (My bro and Natalie didn't come)  Haha, I've had quite a few questions about those pictures in my camera! It's just souvenirs. The food there was absolutely delectable, like a Conditioned Response I am salivating at this picture. Yummy (: Tom Yum Seafood soup; Soft Shell Crab; Chicken wrapped with Pandan and Vegetables. What's there not to love?!  A few more shots around the place. I don't think I'll ever see that many condoms or contraceptives in one place elsewhere, haha.   After that we just had to satiate my curiousity for Patpong. We took a tuktuk there and got scared goosebumpy-like by the place the driver took us to, SO DESERTED PLUS FILLED WITH MEN?! It was only the both of us, can you imagine if something horrid like gangrape happened?! Okay farfetched, but still. ANYWAY, we insisted that he bring us to the shopping district first. Phew.  In the end we still got conned into this stupid place (which I really wanted to go see what was it all about). Shall not elaborate on our tourist naivety though we did catch some eye opening acts :O :O :O Walked around a bit after that and shopping there SUCKS. But we took this mad tuktuk home (mimic Pierce Brosnan creditcard ad) which kind of lifted our spirits. INEXPLICABLY, I LOVE TUKTUK RIDES! :D
But, he was rocking the tuktuk in frontback rhythmic motion to aid its speed just so he could overtake his friend OR OTHER RANDOM TUKTUKS. HAHAHA. Meet him, We went to Suan Lum and Jatujuk twice the whole trip because we couldn't cover the place in one. But I think Suan Lum had more unique pieces than Jatujuk's wholesale marketing. And, this sums it up ):  Oh just a little warning. Try not to anger/irritate the people handling your food. They just might spit in it ;)  For Cherie: Happy Good Friday, yo. Tuesday, March 18, 2008, 08:00 p.m. Prelude This would be me when I'm starving, haha look at the distorted face.  At Clarke Quay after laksa day and movie with the girls.  MAMA's Carribean bar, pretty decent food with average prices. We were so hungry I guess nothing really mattered, basically we sat down where tables, chairs and menus were first spotted.  That's all. Up and coming: BKK PHOTOS! :D Trust me, I'm pretty deadbeat from all the editing. Although I keep procrastinating, (secretly wishing I could do backdates throughout semester) I got down to it. Yet whilst doing so I felt waves of nostalgia soaking through every muscle and bone in me.  I'm homesick ): Monday, March 17, 2008, 10:31 a.m. Front page news So this is my new template which somehow looks haphazardly put together ): Feel free to comment and hopefully tips on how I can make this look better. Preferably which font! I've been back here for two weeks but it feels like two MONTHS, seriously. While I feel the weather's G-R-E-A-T (warm/hot and sunny) much to the dismay of others, heh. We have been trying to get a life, our very Singaporean best. Disclaimer: Events posted below are not in sequence or recent. First up, laksa day in Katong (a first for me) with the girls and a boy (:  Didn't taste too bad though Haoming couldn't take coconut milk that day. Bus-ed to town and caught CJ7 while Maine had to rush off somewhere.    Valentine's day (: (: Haoming and I went for a movie at Cine. P.S. I love you. Instant tearjerker movie from the start to end, it was a little mismatch for the part played by Hilary Swank which she delivered pretty well. Wonderful show (: Followed by a surprise dinner venue at Halia, Botanic Garden! Such natural ambience we had while we dined outdoor with a cool night.  Coincidentally I was dressed in green with rose-sequinned patterns, haha.  The food was not only gorgeous, it tasted superb. In the word of a connoiseur, only excellence would deem fit! Especially the oven baked Kingfish with truffle sauce, yummy. Why can't there be restaurants where the truffles are generous with inexpensive prices? Oh, add in the caviar and foie gras please! If only these were commonplace items, sigh. I'd be in food heaven my whole life but I guess that'd make me appreciate less.  Needless to say, so was dessert (: We were so full, thus only one for us.  Walking around we stumbled upon the pond, WITH SWANS! Well, the last time I visited the Botanic Garden was approximately 10 years ago? Pardon my ecstasy.  We had no food to feed them, they promptly went away ): Such practicality.  Happy Valentine's Day (:  Oh, happy days how I miss them so. 
Thursday, March 13, 2008, 10:15 p.m.Under construction. So far I've found out that Pitas is a pain in the butt, even under persuasion from Cherie I have refused to change hosts. HAHA, what loyalty. Anyway, I'm gonna work around my current template (done up by the wonderful Ping!) and see what happens. By the way, I got cbox but am stuck at how to position it ): Keep checking back, lovelove. |
