Better than Hansel & Gretel

I bet at any night when you step into my house, you will not be able to resist that sniff of the heavenly scent! My uncle is a great baker! Sometimes he can't help it because it somehow marks an inert love for cooking. Also thanks to the many food critic friends that our family has, that spared us the agony of having an amateur chef/baker/patissier in making. It works better on all of our taste buds. He bakes glorious cakes. This has been a daily affair, almost like a routine when the whole family gathers around the kitchen and watch those cakes/pastries rise.

We even managed to sell most of them with fantabulous feedbacks.
This shall be the fourth on the list of my ambitions.

But I want to do something that I enjoy. Perhaps, reading books for a living? Haha, never mind. I'm sure I've got better ways to pass my days, enriched.

p.s. I am absolutely excited for tomorrow's karaoke session! I anticipate much fun as I have always had.

Music not moosique; I love Hayley Williams.

Twilight not only re-intrigued my interest for reading, but also made me love a more diverse genre of music. Though I always have such songs in my iPod baby, I didn't really pay much attention enough to love them. Like now, I am a BIG FAN of Paramore, Hayley Williams!!! Everyone should just get Twilight's DVD. I cannot not watch once through of both discs every. single. day. ; ever since i got it.

I dream the wildest dream of playing the piano with Robert Pattinson / Carter Burwell on Bella's Lullaby, Never Think and Let Me Sign. The best part is.... I got the scores! I'm mentally practicing them every moment. Have I mentioned about having a photocopying memory of scores that i really love? I enjoy seeing notes everywhere. I think I can play Decode on the piano hehe.

For the upcoming Karaoke session, I am so going to sing Decode. I tried singing at home with a recorder and I think I sound pretty decent. So I am just hoping that the K has the song. Because for most of the time we are just going to sing something chinese/hokkien/canto-pop/heavy metal/rock/rap/jap/korean.

So cool.

Incredulous; surely not?

I look like a boy now because of my impulsive act to cut my hair short, with bangs. The bangs are fine except for the overall shape. Besides, how good can a $4.80 haircut be?

This totally beats my original purpose of the haircut, which I wanted my hair to be of less maintenance. Now I have to go back to using those clip-on extensions and tie them up, like a ruffle, for that 'natural' look.

I really hope to break out of this stupid hair maintenance cycle as soon as I get my pay, and get extensions.

Really affirmed this time! After much persuasion of manyyyy people that I look better with LONG hair.

Missed my KOI milk tea.

Yet adam stood his ground: eve shall give birth

A major ambition is hogging up my mind.
I want to travel to perhaps, Amsterdam, to major in Literature.
Something that I have always wanted, but the intricate sensation is now burning in my throat, like Edward’s thirst for Bella (oh, that’s my Bluetooth name anws).
My passion is reignited through the weirdest way that you can think of. One day I was bored at work so I decided to Google and rediscovered my love-hate relationships with poets. I can’t explain that.

Please let me stir into such whimsical adventures to seek true love.
Now, or maybe soon, you will not understand my command of languages, crap.
But I know I’ll be sucked up to it.

Not very lovingly,
Vanessa.

p.s i don't mean to sound cheesy, but i was. haha

My daily dose of sunshine.

xxx: "Hey! If there's anything or you need help, you can just find me next door or call me at ext. ***"

me: "Hey, good morning! and thank you!"

xxx: "What's your name anyway? I am ******"

me: "Oh, this is vanessa (:"

xxx: "wow, a very nice name, and you look great!"

That made my day.

My Community

When they say the "angmohs" are friendlier, more courteous and polite compared to Asians, they are very right. As a born and semi-bred Singaporean, I'm sometimes still ashamed by the face that when my mood is sour, I heck my surroundings and stay aloof. Contrary to popular belief, it is actually not very classy at all. Since I have more "angmoh" neighbours than locals, my lifestyle has taken a new turn. Where else (except for in the western countries) can you find neighbours or even random strangers in the neighbourhood chatting up on you, like they have known you forever? And that you can cuddle with their dogs or pups in the fondest way ever! Especially in the mornings and evenings. I am so sucked up to this kind of lifestyle . So in the meantime I will pick up some virtues from them: like friendliness, frankness and warmth.

I'm counting my blessings.

I've decided to quit my job... as a shopaholic.

Shopping is a disease, worse than any kinds of addiction.
I want to stay true and pragmatically to myself.
I shall not succumb to these desires.

So sorry to Denise! This morning, I was the enthusiastic one who encouraged her to open a F21 spree and now I'm backing out. It was just like any other day that I come online and see nice things on shopping sites and convinced myself that it is an obligation for me to get those frivolous goods. Materials are good to have, once in a blue moon or when the need arises [as in literally need, not cravings]. I am starting to feel guilt spending hard-earned money irresponsibly and will begin to use these money or if there are any extras, to good causes. Donations? Charities? Helping out the people around me?

Why so serious? you may ask.
You're still young, live life and make merry! you should say.

But I want to lead a life with meaning and no regrets. If I am considerably fortunate, I want to help those who aren't. I don't care what others may say. I will stay true to myself. This part of me is so precious and important.

Hopefully these steps will make me less shallow and blossom into a kindred spirit (:

Hurt. Is it my darkest moment yet?

I need someone to talk to. I want to be alone.
Someone to lend me his shoulders. Just leave me alone.
Who hugs me when telepathy strikes. I need the cold to numb me.

I don't want to become like who I was when I was 14. I see it coming.
Very scary. I'm blinded.

Song #24

Hurt lyrics

Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face
You told me how proud you were, but I walked away
If only I knew what I know today, ooh, ooh

I would hold you in my arms, I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done, forgive all your mistakes
There's nothing I wouldn't do to hear your voice again
Sometimes I wanna call you but I know you won't be there

Oh, I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you

Some days I feel broke inside but I won't admit
Sometimes I just wanna hide 'cause it's you I miss
And it's so hard to say goodbye when it comes to this, ooh

Would you tell me I was wrong? Would you help me understand?
Are you looking down upon me? Are you proud of who I am?
There's nothing I wouldn't do to have just one more chance
To look into your eyes and see you looking back

Oh, I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself, oh

If I had just one more day
I would tell you how much that I've missed you
Since you've been away

Oh, it's dangerous
It's so out of line
To try and turn back time

I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself
By hurting you.

Informal proposal for the 499th time.

I got a bit shy when the "Wedding March" started blasting through the boyfriend's house and his mommy asking when is he getting married.

A promise was made.

I feel so blessed.

Happiness lies in contentment, by Vanessa.

Initially, I was prepared to spend hundreds of dollars on a phone. But mommy managed to psycho me out of it and I got a zero dollar phone instead.

Wait! I feel happier than getting another expensive one. Gee, I'm beaming with the radiant aura.

Mama and GongGong also got the same phone as me.

Happiness is achievable, without cash that is.

I love guys with the English accent: Robert Pattinson / Hugh Grant

Denise, he's my heart throb.
He's my love.
Think of him as my "boyfriend",
And you won't snatch him away from me.
He's mine.

Ownership declared.
Love!

I want to be a freelance writer, owner of a small business and a mommy with four pretty kids?

> Girls, I am so excited about our stall at the upcoming flea market!
> I am unconventional, today.
> Robert Pattinson is the hottest guy ever!
> I need to re-read the Harry Potter series and Twilight Saga at least a few more times; you're looking at a mytho-geek's blog.
> Life is great!

here to clear the air

In case any of you thinks that I broke up with Kenneth, it's definitely NOT the case. I was referring to other things if you saw either my FB/previous post/prev msn nick.

I love him.

Me Time.

I want to be alone. Just all alone.
I need stability, I need to find my inner peace.
I just lost it all. I need time.
Shrug work, shrug it.

What now huh.
- extensive load of stress
- work
- fyp
- gakkai activities
- taking care of members
- avoid showing how tired I am when I come home
- constantly keeping you happy, avoiding quarrels/talks. because we can't comm.
- bearing with all the egoistic tantrums
- money
- assignments
- keeping everybody around me happy
- district
- chapter
- student division
- meetings after meetings after meetings
- researching for fyp related articles
- thinking of ideas to boost the juicy factor of fyp.
- plus a dozen of things that i can't mention here [this segment is a silent killer]

eeyer.

LET ME SCREAM your ASS OUT.

*P/S: I need to go back to something that I really enjoy and loved. Something that is so familiar and comfortable. Guess I could find happiness there. Only music, only you.

**P/S: Actually, it's not songs like 'womanizer' or 'diamonds are a girls best friend'. Those are frivolous. Sickening to listen to. Need orchestras. I don't want to feel empty anymore. Concert kakis, emerge!

Go away.

You are ARROGANT EGOISTIC & SELF CENTERED.
And hey, that spooked my raw nerves.

This was what I always wished for - to hear Jason Mraz live!

Jason Mraz ft. local Joi Chua, Lucky.



I missed the concert sigh.

omg

Received this email today:

Very Shocking....

This is a real story of a young college girl who passed away last month in Pasir Ris. Her name was Priya. She was hit by a truck.

She was working in a call center. She had a boy friend named Shankar. Both of them were true lovers. They always talked on the phone. You would never find her without handphone. In fact she also changed her cell connection from M-One to Starhub, so that both of them can be on the same network, and save on the cost. She used to spend half of the day talking with Shankar. Priya's family knew about their relationship. Shankar was very close to Priya's family as well. (Just imagine their love) .

Before she passed away she always told her friends 'If I pass away please burn me with my handphone' she also said the same thing to her parents. After her death, people cld'nt carry her body, A lot of them tried to do so,but still can't. Everybody had tried to carry the body, the results were the same. Eventually, they called a person known to one of their neighbours, who can speak with the soul of dead person and who was a friend of her father.

He took a stick and started speaking to himself slowly. After a few minutes, he said 'this girl misses something here.' Then her friends told that person about her intentions to burn her with her phone.

He then opened the grave box and place her phone and sim card inside the casket. After that they tried to carry the body. It was then moved easily and they then carried her into the van. All of us were shocked.

Priya's parents did not inform Shankar that Priya had passed away..

After 2 weeks Shankar called Priya's mom.....

Shankar :.....'Aunty, I'm coming home today. Cook something nice for me. Don't tell Priya that I'm coming home today, I wanna surprise her.'

Her mother replied..... 'You come home first, I wanna tell you something very important.'

After he came, they told him the truth about Priya. Shankar thinks that they were playing a fool. He was laughing and said 'don't try to fool me - tell Priya to come out, i have a gift for her. Please stop this nonsense'. Then they show him the original death certificate to him. They gave him proof to make him believe. Shankar started to sweat.

He said... 'Its not true. We spoke yesterday.. She still calls me.' Shankar was shaking.

Suddenly, Shankar's phone rang.

'See this is from Priya, see this....' he showed the phone to priya's family. All of them told him to answer. He talked using the loudspeaker mode. All of them heard his conversation. Loud and clear, no cross lines, no humming. It is the actual voice of Priya & there is no way others could use her sim card since it is nailed inside the grave box.

They were so shocked and asked for the same person's (who can speak with the soul of deal persons) help again. He brought his master to solve this matter.

He & his master worked for 5 hours.

Then they discovered one thing which really shocked them...

你能分清楚爱和喜欢吗？

喜歡和愛咫尺千里。
當你喜歡一個人時，你想和他在一起，因為他會帶給你快樂；

離開後，你會想念，想著想著就會笑，然後繼續你平靜的生活，並期待著與他再一次重逢。

當你愛一個人時，你想和他在一起，那是一種牽腸掛肚的捨不得，怕他受委屈，怕他不能好好照顧自己；

離開後，你也會想念，想著想著歎一口氣，'不知他現在過的怎樣？'

然後你繼續你平靜的生活，希望他早日回到你身邊。

你喜歡的人在你眼中是天使，無所不能，他總會滿足你的任性的要求。

你愛的人在你眼中是孩子，傻傻的，你不期望他做出什麼'好事'來，只一味縱容他那些讓人哭笑不得的舉動。

你會希望你喜歡的人陪著你，然而你心中想的可能是你愛的人；

你會希望陪在你愛的人身邊，看他在你面前睡得如此安逸甜美毫不設防的樣子，你會微笑，會覺得好幸福。

你喜歡的人傷害了你，你會生氣，並且一定要讓他哄著騙著逗你笑你才原諒他；

你愛的人傷害了你，你只會獨自傷心，因為你怕對他大吼大叫會嚇著他，你憂傷地微笑著，看著他的眼睛，

一旦發現他的眼裡流露出歉意和悔恨，你會立即心疼地摟他在懷裡，那一刻，你也是幸福的。

你可以同時喜歡很多人，你會希望和很多人在一起，

但也許很多年後你才發現，原來你愛的就只有那麼一個，

就那麼一個，怎麼都不會變，你以為把他忘記了，其實只是忙的沒空想起而已，

對於你喜歡的人，你關注的是他的優點；

對於你愛的人，你關注的是他的缺點，並且，那些缺點如果無關原則的話，它們在你眼裡是可愛的，獨一無二的。

喜歡和愛其實只有一紙之隔，任何愛都從喜歡開始，當有天你突然發現，你喜歡的那個人在你眼中不再完美，

而他的瑕疵正如月中的桂影一般讓你更加依依不捨，你會覺得與他光彩照人的一面相比，

你更願意看他在你面前無助的表情，不知道是不是應該祝賀你，總之，你的感情昇華了

仰慕不是愛，甚至不是喜歡，當你對一個人只有仰慕之情時，你們在一起便失去了和諧。

有人說愛一個人很累，的確是，因為你想為他承擔，可是愛與喜歡相比最大的魅力就在於，

當你和愛的人在一起時，你的感覺就像回家了！

Love you.

I can't keep up with a virtual relationship.

Work has its benefits.

I wouldn't have dream meeting our Prime Minister over a hearty high tea.
Neither did I realize my abilities and things I could do.
Writing articles, my forte? wow.
Board meetings? are you serious?
Ideas being adopted to write news releases for the major media brothers in SG!?!

Am still in awe.

Hope I'll be able to get Robert Pattinson's Blackberry on the COMEX show.
Just one more silver Volvo to go ;)

Me and Mr Right [Miss Eclectic & Mr Bossa Nova]

How will you choose your Mr Right?

You will make the most of being able to shop around for Mr Right. You love your freedom and will have a lot of fun learning about what sort of man you like. When you do find the guy for you, nobody will be able to keep you away from the church.

Who will be your future Mr Right?

Your real-life hero will be manly. He'll be dependable, even financially. He will protect you and always respect your feelings. He'll probably be quite a bit older than you.

When will you get married?

You will be very determined and thorough in choosing a spouse. You'll study every detail about your man before saying yes to a life of love. You will eventually make a good choice, but you'd better be sure that he's willing to wait that long.

What sort of wife will you be?

If your hubby is crazy enough to ask you to do silly things, you may as well have fun with him. You'll make a fun-loving wife.

Will you and your husband have a good time together?

You and your hubby will enjoy each other's company playing games until you're old. Whether you play tennis, golf, swim or even just go driving out of town, you'll both stay healthy and happy.

What will your children be like?

Your kids will be quiet and won't give you a hard time - they'll be a joy to have around. However, you should teach them to be stronger and more confident in themselves. Otherwise they might grow up to be losers.

How loyal are you?

You are a cool chick! You pretend not to care about the many men you attract, but they just keep coming back for more. When you are married, you won't be a loyal kind.

I can't walk

I think my right leg is injured very badly.
Something internal.

Kor Kor

Your sweetheart is like a big brother to you. He is kind and always takes good care of you. He is a dream boyfriend; gentle and compassionate, he is completely and utterly dedicated to the girl he loves. It's easy to please him because he appreciates everything you do for him. There's no need to worry about changing yourself in any way because he accepts you the way you are. When this type of man fall in love it's going to be deep and quite probably forever.
