Summer Hums; Afternoon Fatigues

I'm thankful everyday, for the gift;

2010-06-16T10:49:00.002+08:00

I don't know if it's just the weather or me, but I'm feeling quite mixed up. (note: mixed up, not messed up) My iPod's on shuffle and the songs that come on simultaneously fit the rainy day to a T. That quite explains how my emotional surge came about. Sigh, I'm quite delusional in the department of love and romance actually. I pretend that I'm passionately in love to ... someone whom I don't even know yet. Life is definitely more than this, I know. But oh well.

What a morbid entry to kickoff this blog all over again.

I greatly applaud myself.

I miss this place so much

2010-06-15T00:18:00.001+08:00

Because emotions hit me by a huge wave.

Knowing why makes it hurt even more.

Last day

2009-11-03T22:47:00.001+08:00

We took a short-cut and decided to part ways.

We shall both stay strong.

It's been a while.

2009-10-30T17:06:00.002+08:00

Dear diary,

I have been feeling out of sorts recently. But what's worse is that I know and am fully conscious of the cause of all these unease.

It's just me.

Thoughts run wild, pulling heartstrings, trenched bittersweet thoughts.

All these in the name of love, ?

Spotted on the roads.

The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things natural and spiritual as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that could cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism. (Albert Einstein)

Kindness begets kindness.

I love being nice to everyone.

Think I can go be PR. LOL

Bitter Heart by Zee Avi

2009-07-31T20:37:00.001+08:00

she's really good! love this song!

Sun rays come down as seen when they hit the ground,
Children spinning around till they fall down down down.
I wait for you: it's been two hours now,
You're still somewhere in town,
Your dinners getting cold.
I rest my case you are always this late,
And you know how much I hate waiting around 'round 'round,

Bitter heart, bitter heart tries to keep it all inside,
Bitter heart, bitter heart shadows will help you try to hide,
Bitter heart, my bitter heart is gettin' just a little fragile,
Bitter heart, bitter heart of mine.

And then you come and tell me the same reason as you did yesterday,
So tell me whats her name.
Doo doo da dum, doo doo da dum, doo doo doo doo doo doo da da dum dum, da da da da dum, da da da da dum, da da da da dum.

Bitter heart, bitter heart tries to keep it all inside
Bitter heart, bitter heart shadows will help you try to hide,
Bitter heart, my bitter heart is just getting a little fragile,
Bitter heart, bitter heart of mine, of mine, of mine, of mine, of mine, of mine.

Inaugural Asian Youth Games Scores 2.6 Million Page Views in Two Weeks

omg. happy or what!

Lazy evening

2009-07-12T08:38:00.006+08:00

I really really miss my secondary school friends. My birthday wish is to get at least Goldie, Seika, WaiKit, Michelle and Samuel together. Omg, just imagining it makes me wanna smile =)

Friendship is at its best when we lost track of time just by chatting over ice cream and coffee. At least I've never sat in Haagen Dazs for more than 3 hours and still feel that time is passing too fast. That's what they always say about good times.

p/s. Yuzi, start updating your work wardrobe! & supre's clothes look good on you! (:

Deborah's unexpected visit

2009-07-05T23:42:00.006+08:00

"Wah, I come with you all I so stress sia, how come bowling so relac one".
"Wah, how come the interview like that one (meaning that the interviews are very formal)?"
"Wah, swimming is so exciting" - because you see how the crowd cheered on right?

I LOVE AYG SWIMMING TOO!

Haha Deborah, now you know.
With you around, I feel so unprofessional. heh
Cause I have to help you & WJ go stop QTW and ask for photos for you all. 0_0
Maybe I'm a lil crazy over her, but I don't show it in front of her.

Kays.

D.Gan popped by today and bombed me with a great responsibility! She asked if anyone knows Mandarin and apparently, I got arrowed. So within a time frame of 2-3 minutes, I was to come up with 4 interviewing questions for the secretary general of Asia Swimming Federation. Frankly, I stepped out of my comfort zone and realized that I could do much much much more than what I thought I could.

Pretty amazed by human capabilities huh.

Stress don't mean a thing to me now. So glad to have this experience to report for AYG swimming. I wish I don't have to go back to school and continue to report for such events, esp for 2010's YOG. Hope I'm given a place ya ;)

By the way, if you're also a QTW fan, buzz me. Can get you her photo/signature/latest news anytime. Cause I'm like "her personal reporter" now. Most of my reports are revolving around her. Good thing though, easy to get interviews cause all the media attention's on her. Need lil effort.

After today, I kinda know what I'd like to do in the future.
PR.
Love the perks.

Vips was really nice too! Letting us 'nua' and chill over at her nest.

Took lots of photos with all the "star swimmers" / "hot guys".

Got Tw's signature too.

So, is WJ hyperventilating now?

//okay, wj rocks now. cos I'm going to get something from him for Tw to sign on (so i can wear and admire it at home). and on my waterbottle. can't wait man!

I am sooooo happy!

2009-07-03T22:47:00.005+08:00

(btw, this picture was shot by fann during one of the interviews, not the actual event)

So this is how it feels when home team wins! pwn man!

And also how it feels to have someone you know to winnnnnnn!

&&&&& it feels damn freaking shiok when I am the one reporting on HER!

Quah Ting Wen, you are the best and most humble national swimmer I have ever come across. Plus your (cannot beat) friendliness too.

p/s. psst! see! the benefits of conducting many prior interviews with a highly anticipated swimmer.

HAPPY

You know, it doesn't really matter.

2009-07-01T23:34:00.003+08:00

1. That I have to go to school on a Wednesday (non-sch day) at 8:30am.

2. That I was being sent to the Bowling site for AYG to help my ass off and get nothing (except for Denise gratitude - good enough)

3. That I missed going to the Games Village with the others because I was helping the bowling people

4. That we had thrash instead of proper food - which means nothing till dinner

5. That I wasn't feeling physically well

6. That I was being laughed at (I swallow well)

7. That I found out serious problems in the relationship

8. That Fann is getting quarantined and I'll be doing everything myself tmr, and pretty much for the whole of AYG swimming freestyle.

9. That I don't get understanding from anyone

10. That I have to suffer menstrual cramps.

It's true, I'm fine.

I am shaped to be like this.

2009-06-24T14:38:00.000+08:00

Oh, anyway, I just staged a very pretty rebel.

Such empowerment warms my weak tumbling heart

"This World Peace Records website has reached every continent, and many countries inspiring people to think twice about love, life and this world as one. We here at WPR's hope that this site also touches you, and you feel the peace within yourself which is where it all begins.

Music by Kelly McClain words by Kelly and Carla Taylor.

Nam-myoho-renge-kyo won the 1st ballot vote in the Grammies for "Best song of the year" in 2007. The magic in this song is incredible. Just listen and feel the honest love that has reached out to thousands of people and made them think and feel a little differently about love and life.

Nam-myoho-renge-kyo was written for complete happiness, and dedicated to World Peace & Kosen Rufu. May it help in our journey to free this world of all the negativity that we see and hear. We pray our vibrations will help everyone that listens.

David Freiberg (of Jefferson Starship & Quicksilver Messenger Service) mixed, sang on the chorus, co-produced, and recorded Nam-myoho-renge-kyo at his studio (FreeMountain Studios) in 2006 in the city of Novato California. Linda Imperial sang and co-produce NMRK. Linda currently travels and performs with Starship and Quicksilver. David and Linda were a wonderful influence in the outcome of NMRK. We feel very fortunate to have them as our friends."

I am so darn touched...

Hello, world of lust!

Just a few reasons why younger women should date older men of 60 & onwards.

2009-06-14T16:48:00.003+08:00

(Credits to Goldie's post - I'm just going to list a few favourite/funny ones.)

1. He knows a lot of useless stuff and makes a great partner in games like Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit and Balderdash.

3. This gives you more free time to spend his money at malls, outlet stores, and online.

6. The big bedroom and/or guest rooms in his house means no rent for you and eventually your friends/relatives can move in too.

8. If you sprain your ankle, you can use his cane.

9. He qualifies for early bird senior discounts at restaurants.

10. He’ll actually dance with you at night clubs. He’ll be the hit of the party when he pulls out his “Funky Chicken.”

15. He’ll give you flowers, candy and best of all - cold, hard cash!

18. He’ll effectively replace your dad for when pops isn’t around. (Celebrate Father’s Day twice!)

19. Will treat 100% of the time. (Young guys don’t have cash, credit cards, or in many cases, wallets.)

22. He can help you with your homework. [omg, then is Kenneth old already? He helps me with my work all the time!]

23. He’s very experienced in bed. If you like it or want to try it, he’s been there, done that! (And more than once.)

26. He has a future, even though it might be a limited one.

28. Dating him will shock your folks. They may even throw lots of money at you to stop dating him.

36. He’s entitled to all kind of discounts including senior bus fares and matinee discounts. This means more cash left over for you.

38. You won’t have to worry about getting pregnant. His sperm cells are so old, they’re swimming backstroke (Warning: Always wear protection.)

40. He won’t argue with you over little, meaningless things. (He’s basically numb.)

43. You can talk politics with him, something you can’t do with younger men. (He knows that Colin Powell isn’t a medical condition.)

45. He’ll turn you on to old-school chick flicks like The Graduate, Love Story and Breakfast at Tiffany’s. [Luckily I never make Kenneth watch the Tiffany's]

47. He’ll take you on incredible vacations, unlike young guys. No more Vegas, Palm Springs and Tijuana during Spring Break. Say hello to cruises to Europe and Australia, ski trips to Aspen and Telluride and African safaris.

50. When he dies, you can date his cute son(s)!

Hello girls, hope you all still read this space.

Are you all still up for clubbing?
Is Zirca @ clarke quay any good? Cos I heard they serve FREE (my favourite) lychee martinis every Wednesday [ladies night] from nine thirty to midnight.

OR

If we are just looking for a nice place to hangout, Marmalade Pantry should be nice!
Housepours and Champagne cocktails (mimosa/lychee bellini) going at only 6 dollars. Ladies night also.

Aiya, but then, school is reopening.
Haha, read this for fun then.

Parody of Wonder Girl's - "Nobody"

Awesome Day!

2009-06-06T00:37:00.003+08:00

I am in no mood to blog but I just had to note this day down, somewhere.

> Swimming at Sunshine's place with Denise! (alot of stupid poses & photos)
> Goldie's 20th (surprise!) Birthday Celebration.
People attended: ME, gold, ken, yee, jack, seika, hannah, alan, mickey, jieying, siying, van lim(another girl with the same name), TT, her bf.
> I got a 3 months old Golden Retriever!

Wow!

ello!

2009-06-03T14:14:00.001+08:00

I am quite torn between choices.
All are fantastic opportunities.
But what do I really want in life?

Boycott everything.

2009-05-25T00:06:00.001+08:00

What?! Is Year 3 to max out students' capabilities (or potential, so you say) to become full fledge zombies? If that is it, the school topped it.

Procrastination for good? Or bad?

2009-05-24T13:56:00.002+08:00

Night At The Museum 2 blew my mind away! It's really great, everyone should watch it.

Well aye... Just had an emotional flash-forward. My course of study sure gets me lots of opportunities that some others may not get in a lifetime. Like getting an attachment with a Government organization or the latest thing most of us are working damn hard for - Asian Youth Games 09.

I know a gazillion nuts about sports per se. But somehow or rather I got chosen to be one of the few on site (co-) journalists for the swimming segment. It was wowing to find out. For both hard work & glamour. Trust me when I say it's hard work. On site means I'll have to sit there with my partner, observe the athletes, pre-research on them, watch them swim from one end to the other and "tada!" - upload sports article in 30 minutes time (or maybe slightly longer, not exceeding 2 hours I guess). And these go on for 6 days in a row. With lots of pre-training of course + well expected burnt weekends.

Tweaking a little* I can picture myself holding a "Media" pass streaming in & out like a... media person. Sounds like a cool pass to hold. A bit bimbotic actually. Not stereotyping, but everyone doing this has a bimbo in them. We can see/stare/talk/flirt/awe at those hot hunks and a lot of other juicy fringe benefits that can be expected.

So it leads me to think: Am I/Are we like Anne Hathaway (in Devil Wears Prada) or Isla Fisher (in Confessions of a Shopaholic)?

It is terrifying to see myself and the people around me stepping into their footsteps unknowingly.

Aha! The perfect excuse for procrastinating (working on articles)!

When the garlic hooed, I lost my voice.

2009-05-19T09:55:00.001+08:00

I plucked up more than enough courage.

What the fuck

2009-05-18T23:59:00.001+08:00

I found out the real cause of my social absence in Restaurant City.

All because Kenneth tested the cheat machine on my account, and not his.

What the fuck. It wasn't even my fault. WTF.

Relationship hurdles.

2009-05-15T02:24:00.001+08:00

Tell me where to find Aunt Agony at this hour.

Bye!

2009-05-11T23:21:00.002+08:00

Nothing to put into words.
All's perfect.
World's round.
Find a slum.
& Stay there.

Why are things like that?

2009-05-07T21:20:00.002+08:00

I don't have space to breathe.

With friends, with school work, with boyfriend and even with family.

Everything is just so tight.

I just want to be a good friend, a good student, a good girlfriend and a good daughter.

WHY does she jump at me at every single little thing?

I dread coming home. Or maybe, I dread seeing certain people.

Matter of taste.

YAY!

Love

Awkward dreams, Volvo and me.

2009-04-28T20:29:00.004+08:00

I'm going to announce the most awesome news ever!

1. I just sat on a Volvo c30 silver! Apparently, Mr R thought it is a nice tool to hookup with Twilight female fans so he imported it from you-ass-of-aei. Even better, I am his first passenger! Luckily we're just family friends. Friends. If not I'll fall head over heels for any guy like that. Haha

2. The family Volvo (in Royal Blue) was sent for maintenance today and we were lent a Silver s80 in the meantime. Hey, it's SILVER, c'mon.

Muahahaha

I am soooo Twilight-y today.

Hungry stomach, depressed soul.

2009-04-21T00:10:00.006+08:00

Never mind, really.
I'll deal with it.

Meiji is overly sweetened.

Yoplait remains top of the list.

Lousy

2009-04-18T23:57:00.002+08:00

I'm feeling super emotional now, especially after confiding.

I came back and did some 'research' and realized... that we're from and of different worlds.

It truly feels like... The End.

Hello Deborah, I'm blogging already!

2009-04-18T00:12:00.003+08:00

EVERYONE READING THIS - ATTENTION!

No need to rise from your seat... Please remain seated.

Denise, Sunshine and me will be selling secondhand and brand new stuffs this Sunday @ a flea market in Holland Village.

Come take a look and support okay!

xoxo

it is okay it is okay it is okay

2009-04-17T15:19:00.003+08:00

Oh why oh why is the flea market stall still unsure. I want that stall. I want to clear my wardrobe for more clothes. Daddy doesn't bother, but I do. I really really do.

心情写照

2009-04-17T01:09:00.001+08:00

(listen to song here)

慢慢

心慢慢疼慢慢冷
慢慢等不到爱人
付出一生收回几成
情不能分不能恨
不能太轻易信任
真爱一回尽是伤痕
泪慢慢流慢慢收
慢慢变成了朋友
寂寞的夜独自承受
爱不能久不能够
不能太容易拥有
伤人的爱不堪回首
慢慢慢慢没有感觉
慢慢慢慢我被忽略
你何忍看我憔悴
没有一点点安慰
慢慢慢慢心变成铁
慢慢慢慢我被拒绝
你何忍远走高飞
要我如何收拾这爱的残缺

$4.80 well spent!

2009-04-16T01:26:00.002+08:00

This afternoon when I was walking towards the bus stop near my place, I was admiring an Aussie girl from afar cause she is really gorgeous. Don't question about the nationality, I stay next to the Aussie school haha!

And so...

She came towards me and said, "Hey you look good! You've got Taylor Momsen's hair!"

She is the first person that made me feel good about my $4.80 haircut.

p.s. Maybe I should go back to the same salon and ask for a perm when my hair is longer. who knows if the wretched curlers can identify me with Blake Lively! HA HA HA

p.s. It's Taylor Momsen's hair in Gossip Girl when she became a rebellious designer.

p.s. F21 loves me. The clothes/necklace that I ordered are all not available in the shops. But those that I held back are in the shops and I got them instantly. For Mom. Eh yes, she's kinda passionate about F21 dresses.

So sorry Denise!

2009-04-15T01:41:00.002+08:00

Sigh, you know I don't like to disappoint people like that. Although in the end I still ordered a few items. I will triple confirm with anyone who wants to place an order before confirming.

I feel so bad. I feel so lousy.

I don't like doing this to people.

Shopping: Raffles City & Cotton On

2009-04-11T14:55:00.005+08:00

There is a correction/renewal of my favourite haunt: Raffles City.
Muacks, shopping is sweet.

Anws, Cotton On has the 50% sale now on! I got the blazer, printed pink lace t-shirt, beige scarf, beige dress and a pair of golden pair of platforms. They all cost $xx. Fantastic buys ;)

I'm loving the platforms so much I want to get a few more standbys!

My jinxed life

Monetarily poor is equivalent to happiness.

Cold, numb and venomous.

2009-04-09T12:47:00.000+08:00

is what makes me.

The cool day.

2009-04-08T00:17:00.004+08:00

Hi Hi!
I'm going to shriek like a little fan and say: "I SAW DAVID ARCHULETA TODAY, LIVE!".
Only two reasons for me to like him:
- Because he sang Crush
- He looks just like my boyfriend!

His fans were crazy, absolutely mad. People travel far to just have a glimpse but I was there, mere coincidence and having the best position to l-o-o-k.

Have to admit, I was dazzled when he winked and waved at me. Give him that.

DA plays the piano well btw. And he played a VANESSA song. A Thousand Miles.

Okay, VANESSA is the highlight of this post.

p.s. A cool day consists of more than DA, like, moving to a smacking cool office, tasting the most unique pasta, seeing your cousin work at an unexpected place, people you know selling bikinis, getting KOI milk tea, identifying a crazy manboy as someone you know (andre, on the bus), 3 dresses at $15, appreciating Jai Ho and receiving news that YCKSB GOT A GOLD MEDAL IN SYF!

Ahhh, relish feels good.

2009-04-05T23:08:00.003+08:00

It has been three years since I last step foot in there. It is like what we have discussed, the notion of a "strange familiarity". The irony includes a tug war between comfort and awkwardness. Gee, how time flies and how people change!

Hello friend! Don't comment here okay, in case everybody finds out who you are. Haha. I feel very secretive today because, you know, those secrets poured out and relishing of those good ol' days. Anyway, I still feel very comfortable and safe around you. We should hang out more.

The passing of time is cruel, darlings.

p.s. Robert Pattinson's taste for Chai Tea Latte sucks big time. Imagine Cinnamon with yucky milk / disgusting eggnog. Eew!

Book: Confessions of a Shopaholic

2009-04-04T11:17:00.003+08:00

Though the entire book kept me engaged for half a day [it's only around 320 pages], I was so disappointed I had to quickly turn to another book before I start to draft out different endings in my head.

So damn predictable.

Just hope that the movie will be better.

p.s. I drink water, tea and wine.

Peter Rabbit.

I know!

My future car will be "Peter Rabbit" themed.

p.s. I am positive about either Volvo or Volkswagen or anything that starts with V. Hey, I can dream!

How cool is mom...

2009-04-02T22:50:00.002+08:00

...when you realize she has a closet full of Blair Waldorf's dresses?

Oh and I'm a happppppppyyyy owner of OMFGG and Orange Moon. Next up will be my long-awaited Twilight OST *faints of hyperventilation*.

2009-03-31T22:07:00.002+08:00

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.

2009-03-29T23:13:00.007+08:00

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?

2009-03-29T18:27:00.002+08:00

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.

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

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.

2009-03-25T00:24:00.005+08:00

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?

2009-03-23T23:54:00.004+08:00

~~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.

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.

2009-03-22T23:33:00.002+08:00

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

2009-03-20T01:16:00.005+08:00

Denise, he's my heart throb.
He's my love.

And you won't snatch him away from me.
He's mine.

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.

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.

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？

2009-03-08T23:28:00.002+08:00

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]

2009-03-01T23:39:00.003+08:00

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

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.

2009-02-21T22:47:00.002+08:00

I am cooped up. By myself, for myself.

[you can probably stop reading now. let me have my private moment with Edward]
------------------------------------------

(for those who still have no idea about my current craze)

I want my first car to be a Silver Volvo.
I don't know how this wish will come true. I'll work for it. So cute to have two matching Volvo(s) at home. Haha.

When I continue my plan with M1 next month, I'd really really appreciate a HTC Rose that comes with it. [maybe the word 'rose' rings a bell to 'bella', to me at least. or maybe that is just the only material possession that i can crave for - after selling all the phones on hand. bah!]

---------------------------------------------------

My current project is to be the best girlfriend as I can be cos apparently, the project of being the best daughter has failed, terribly. It pains me. Just let me grit through my personal grief and start another project afresh. Gibberish.

Whenever I occur with problems, I can only turn to two alternatives without having a high blood pressure, all over again. Music and Buddhism. How could I ever live without them! Okay maybe one more: Edward. Rpattz. Whoever.

---------------------------------------------------

My workplace and work itself is so cool. Freaking cool. So blessed to be an intern there. I get to meet the most important people in the country and some even, the world. And the fringe benefits, you won't believe it! I am not supposed to go into details ya, if you have figured by now. Shiok damn shiok. Oh and all my colleagues are chic youths. Seriously, did I mention that I feel so blessed!?! Those benefits are always pleasant surprises to me. Fun so fun.

Play @ work aside, I've learnt a lot there. About mass comm that CCC has never taught me before! It is what the real world really needs.

The bestest part would be finding Soka members there! I've always felt comfortable and at ease with any soka member around. I AM UTTERLY BLESSED.

Oh Oh! And the way that the people in my workplace talks about Soka, I feel so damn proud man! I can always hear colleagues whispering something good about us. And the invitations we get for so many gvmt events, soka friends, we should be damn proud of ourselves. We have made our mark, we have proved ourselves! Let me tell you, we are so so so recognized! For crying out loud, I love SSA!

---------------------------------------------

I think blogging makes me happier.

I breathed. After many days of holding breaths, I breathed.

It's really nice going out with you, cake. Feels like myself again. And I'm going to date you to Pariss.

I love Edward.
I love Kenneth even more.

Yesterday was Valentines Day.

Oh my god. They have absolutely the best range of retail outlets there.

I love Harris too. It would be impossible for me to catch up with my date with Edward Cullen. They are the only ones who sells Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.

I'm just waiting for Midnight's Sun to be released!

Bookworm am me. me are book's worm.

Indulgence I set myself in.

2009-02-09T22:31:00.005+08:00

I have not been set to reading ever since ancient times, if I could ever remember. Not that I did not read, just that I loosened discipline over it. Only today, did I bring my love of reading to a whole new level, not really delightful for my family members. It kind of edged them.

I suppose everyone has heard of or at least felt the rave [maybe some time ago] revolving a beautiful, charming, graceful and perfect vampire, the vegetarian one. Edward Cullen. Twilight, an epitome of my romanticism dreams, lasted me for eight tortuously beautiful romantic hours. My lust was too strong to be hidden. Even now, the story still churns magically in my head like it is never going to go away. Daily needs paled so much in comparison against the magnificent euphoria that I was getting as every word in the book jumped into my surreal imagination. Orgasm. No, not horny, but lust over a book!

So it is not so surprising that I am going to rush down to the bookstore once it is open for business to get the sequel.

New Moon.

Now, I have to make a choice a choice a choice.
But some people aren't making the process easier.

This is the last day of Consumer Psychology, so...

2009-01-22T14:04:00.001+08:00

It is so funny to have a friendly bear and a meanie weenie wizard sitting opposite you performing acts. So cute.

Good things don't come in a bundle.

2009-01-20T00:18:00.002+08:00

It was a fine day, really.
Maybe a little hiccups.

So it was the lesson wrapping up our IP Law & Ethics module.
You know, at first, at first, we wanted to see it through.
So badly.
At least the first half of the day was spent with funny and familiar teammates aka friends.

Imagine the fun joy and laughter.

Deb with her un-flyable wings.
I knew she was trying to catch up!

Sun and I say ByeBye.
Ciao!

One thing good about the Holidays.

2009-01-16T00:14:00.002+08:00

I miss leading a normal lifestyle.
A good time to catch up with life, besides having to do the FYP.

Weekly highlight.

2009-01-15T08:50:00.001+08:00

I am fanatically addicted to Guitar Hero!

Something that's stuck in me forever.

2009-01-15T08:14:00.001+08:00

Goldie, I really really want to perform Algemiz and DoEnka!

We always miss the chance.

Sigh.

One of life's accomplishments...

2009-01-14T01:01:00.001+08:00

Sometimes, all it takes to brighten up my day and to feel really accomplished, is just by getting a pink fridge from the mystery box.

I really like this!

2009-01-12T14:43:00.000+08:00

Love.

All-in-the-face kinda day.

Mummy says...

2009-01-06T08:31:00.002+08:00

Having been in the Fashion line for umpteen years, Mummy said: "Dress with comfort, everything else will fall into place".

I shall heed this and a dozen other things that she said.

For the survival of this blog.

2009-01-05T15:46:00.002+08:00

During the three week holiday, I have been browsing through the internet for interesting stuff and information that sets me to awe and inspiration.

Reading is second. Cliche top ranking books from PageOne hogged my reading vision from dawn till night.

Last but not least, it is a break for me to scout for furnitures and accessories for no.8 [note: it will be how I call my house from now on]. And I have picked out some amazingly gorgeous pieces and I cannot wait to show during the house-warming sessions catered for 6 groups of people.

Can you believe it? Time flies.

When we thought we own the world...

2009-01-05T10:30:00.002+08:00

Work, for life.

(Pathetic?)

Sorry, I'm not a good blogger cos' the pictures are in random order!

2009-01-04T12:16:00.007+08:00

It was Seetohqueenbee's Birthday celebration @ MindsCafe, Boat Quay.

Oh please let me tell you how much fun we had.

Food was mediocre.

But the games were crazily addictive and fan-ta-bu-lous!

Photos taken by Dee, our aspiring photographer cum good friend! (:

Rat-a-tat, the card game that made us squeal when we were able to see one another's cards through this spooky red lens.

The 'wrong' answers game. Literally, you have to give the wrong answers in order to get a token. And yours truly won the whole time! HAHA ;p

I looked haggard after spending 2-3 hours doing up the Bee's present -.-

With an aspiring photographer and a birthday girl, we had non-stop camwhoring sessions. It was quite spastic.

Hee.

I wanted to knock off.

Trying hard to stay alive.

Tokens and timer for the 'wrong' game.

And of course, those stupidd questions with Bee answering that babies come out from dispensers. Joke of the day. Bet it'll last for around one more week when school starts tomorrow. Omg, I'm dreading it already.

Table 2 @ Level 2 is where the fun begins.

"Scoop"

My present for the Bee.

Occupational Gambler of the day.

Lame but exciting!

The cutesy dices.

Hey, that's my hugeass present for Bee in the middle! I got the super sweet icing sugar white choco cupcakes for them. Dee's got another trademark for her gifts: Brown paper.

Bee's look of the day. It's LookBook-able! Sun, wear this outfit again and take a portrait of yourself. Compile your stuff and register for Lookbook!

Those few hours spent on the present is super worth it when I saw her expression when she opened it.

"Grab bag"

My Xmas present for Dee.

It's a pretty carousel (:

[For Bobby Rich]

Sheng Ri Kuai Le, See Toh Sunshine Wen Xin!

My plans.

2009-01-02T23:57:00.006+08:00

I have a sudden rush to complete all my studies here in Singapore then to get a nice job that pays well overseas (prefably Australia/America/France/something like that). And if I like the place well enough, I will choose to migrate there and make use of my savings to start a business. From there, I'll get married, have kids and be a stay at home mom, coping with my family on one hand and business on the other.

I'll live a damn enriching and self-satisfying life.

If they all come true, that is.

Happy 2009!

2009-01-02T00:59:00.004+08:00

New Year Resolutions.

1. Learn how to be self-contained and not to show too much of myself, in order not to be made use of.

2. Make sure I am able to reach my savings target esp after CNY.

3. Be kind, but not to the extend of allowing any single chance for people to make use of me.

4. Love one another.

5. Not to spend too much and be contented with what I have. Never to spend unreasonably on fashion.

6. Sticking to rules and deadlines.

7. Continue pursuing Music.

8. Finding appropriate outlets for my over-flowing emotions.

9. Learn pretence, in a good way.

10. Spend more time with Family (though I spend most of my time with them already!)

11. Understanding.

12. Maturity.

13. Wisdom.

14. Wits.

15. Compassion.

16. Treasure those who deserve to be and give up on those who don't.

17. Connect with my inner self. I desperately need to search myself, deciding who I am and who I should be. I'm not a 5 year old anymore, sadly.

18. 饮水思源

Stuffs about me.

2008-12-26T17:39:00.003+08:00

I was born at Mount Elizabeth, Singapore in 1990. My first nest was at Ghim Moh. A few months later, still being a baby, we shifted to Ang Mo Kio. Following, we moved to Hougang, back to Ang Mo Kio again, then to another place in AMK and now, Chuan. There was a period of time when I resided in Shanghai. I'm the only child, with two step-brothers and one step-sister.

I’m the eternal optimist. Pragmatic idealist.

Being a Chinese, I am bilingual. I am of Teochew, Peranakan, Hainan, Hokkien and Cantonese heritage. Basically, it's everything excluding Hakka. I take pride in my roots (:

I’m a Buddhist. Prime believer in Karma.

I am more musically inclined. Looking back, I am always left in awe with my glorious 'past records'. Okay, I shall list them.

1. Certs by ABRSM for piano since I was 5 years old

2. Played the clarinet for 6 years

3. Yio Chu Kang Symphonic Band

4. Sembawang Symphonic Winds

5. Sembawang Wind Orchestra

6. Republic Wind Symphony

7. Soka Wind Ensemble

8. Soka New Century Orchestra

9. RPWS trip to Taiwan (we met Ma Ying Jiu and a treated lunch from one of the ministers)

10. Countless performances with the various bands/orchestras at Victoria Concert Hall, Singapore Conference Hall, Halls HALLS HALLLLS.

11. We've worked with Internationally acclaimed / award winning musicians.

12. Earned accolades that we never thought we could achieve!

13. I can sing, a hot fav to be saboh-ed during KTV sessions.

I’ve got a few part time jobs. Pet peeve: Desk bound jobs.

I love fruit wine. Think Champagne, German wine and cocktails! Hint: Lychee/Belvedere Martini.

I loooove buying clothes, underwear, home accessories, bags and books.

Traveling must be my favourite hobby ever!

I’d like to drive a lot!

Music : Air, Beastie Boys, Ben Harper, Bently Rhythm Ace, Bjork, The Cardigans, Creed, Blur, Chemical Brothers, Coldplay, Garbage, Goo Goo Dolls, Fang Da Tong, Jamiroquai, Jet, John Mayer, Lamb, Lifehouse, Madonna, Massive Attack, Metallica, Mozart, Nirvanna, Philip Glass, Portishead, Powderfinger, Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Fray, The Whitlams, Christina Aguilera, Whitney Houston, Ferrer Ferran.

I have a weakness for male leads in movies (recent hook-on: Robert Pattinson!). But I won’t admit this in public.

Guess you'd know me better by now.
