What can i say? 30 December, 2007

It’s the last Sunday of the year. Leaving in a few hours time, and I’ve yet to pack my luggage. I’m that last-minute.

I was up online till 4 today morning, looking thru blogs, reading wht people have to say about their year, together with an interesting converstion via MSN(learning what goes in to “sex on the beach”, how you pronounce “pina colada”, and to have someone who has his own set of views and beliefs).

Suddenly, the world seem so much bigger than I’ve thought. Suddenly, it seem really unbelieveable to have people think the same way as you do. Suddenly, you realise there’s lots more to explore, enjoy, to live and learn.

Cliche as it sounds, with the flicker of the eye, the year has come to an end.

A good year, I must say. Not when I was in it, but when I’m looking back at it–the bad has become the good, as I truly experience the meaning of blessing in disguise. Full frontal!

Pool? 30 December, 2007

Had my first taste of pool. And it’s fun! Just that I was quite a dummy at first when I was trying to understand how it works. I needed tonnes of confidence before I dare hit the table. It’s good excercise too–flexing those back muscles!

Doing last-min confirmation on the mods I wanna do..Stressful when I have too many choices! Looking at those exam timetables to make sure I have enough time to cram. Geez. And finally, I’ve the courage to do my Gem outside Arts. Would be venturing into the Engin Fact! And same old, I need to stick to my human Geog.

Hopefully I’ll make right and good choices. You know what I mean?

No Monday Blues…

Hopelessly Devoted to you 28 December, 2007

Somehow, my dad has been playing many oldies. So this is one I’m hooked on to.

Just had a one-day job stint at Sentosa’s Palawan Beach, helping out with some course to build team spirit in some company(think milder OBS). Now I’m baked and tired. Imagine sitting at the beach for 9 hours! But the pay is Good. Plus the people were funny and super entertaining(in their own way). We were playing games just by the beach and before you know it, people were being thrown into the water! Geez, they wanted to throw me in too, but one of the guys said, “Your sandals are too nice to be thrown into the water”…and thank god for the camera I was holding on to.

Would be leaving for Jakarta on Sunday! Yay! Would be spending countdown there. Yes, I do hate it when it too loud and all, but then again, it would be quite an experiece!

Christmas Imperfection 24 December, 2007

I know it’s almost impossible to get what I want for this Christmas.

So all I want for Christmas is a Nigel Barker.

Just send him to my dreams tonight.

Merry Christmas.

Friday night 22 December, 2007

It was a windy Friday as I was walking along the banks of Singapore River towards Cafe Iguana.

As I turn to my left, I saw a familiar face.

The familiar face with a cap, those sideburns and his usual black outfit.

For a moment, I was shocked.

My eyes, for some strange reasons, were focused on his lips.

I saw his lips curl up into a smile with a soundless “Hello”.

I smiled too, with a equally soundless “Hi”.

For the first time, we greeted each other.

Suddenly, the windy night became quite beautiful with a new friend made.

At long last… 18 December, 2007

Geez. I  finally found the urge to settle down and blog. Been really restless the past few days doing nothing in particular, but watching “Sex and the City”…

Just got back from Jakarta on Friday and it was a real short trip cos I was tagging along with my dad for his business trip. When I got home, I had a surprise! A little package from Shu Jun!…all the way from Sheffield! She had this cute penguin gingerbread in it..unfotch, it broke! but it was yummy! thanks babe! plus the cupcake postcard and a little “tartilicious” badge! This girl really knows what I like.

There’s this m&m house outside Isetan and so my little sis and I went in, coming out with goodies.

They’re selling m&m’s of colours which can’t be found in the supermarts. Obviously, these babies ain’t cheap–$2.50 for 50 grams.

A day before leaving for Jakarta, I brought my student Sharmaine, with my little sis to the Zoo! It’s been a long time since I’ve been there..

Sharmaine

The Zoo!

And we decided to have Ben and Jerry’s even before we started walking around..haha..

Look! She’s eyeing on the ice-cream!

Both of us!

I’ve something for Penguins…they’re so cute!

Off I go, to Jakarta..

Waiting for the plane to take off

Just before landing..

These yummilicious cakes were from the hotel’s bakery..Unfortch, the cheesecake was super sticky…

Plates of chocs greeting us as we stepped into the suite. Compliments from the hotel.

After which, my dad and his friend brought me shopping!

They’ve got many many brands under one root. Guess, Zara, Ted Baker, Topshop, Mark’s and Spencer, Celvin Klein, Banana Republic! and tt’s just the small area I managed to comb in one hour…

Men don’t really shop, so after one hour, we headed back to the hotel..to the KTV and the disco…I was simply amazed by the nightlife man…

Cherries!

Noodles..they’re fantabulous..trust me! Look at the chili sauce…Ohhhhhhhhh yes..I love anything that is hot and makes me sweat…

Donuts! From J.Co! You think those from Donut factory is good? You haven’t tried these gems..look at the choc and the strawberry ones on the top right corner, plus th e green one on the bottom left..they’ve got what they call “chocolate carviar”..bite into one and you’ll taste super smooth choc with a super-crispy cereal center greeting you!

What more can I say?

Jakarta at night..with me in it..haha..

Geez..been having a lot of “Sex and the City”..and as much as I love the series, it’s afterall just a series..

p.s. I love you 17 December, 2007

Based on the book written by my all-time favourite author, Cecilia Ahern.

Psst. Would update soon.

An Angel in disguise 12 December, 2007

I woke up that morning feeling kind of blue and I stumbled out of bed and dragged my feet across the room.
Right outside my front door was a rose and a note that said ‘Somebody Loves You’.

Take a look at the ordinary. Don’t need to look for Paradise. You could be next to an angel in disguise. Everyday can be legendary. Every minute, an endless surprise. You could be the next angel in disguise.

Don’t try to hide away from me –I know you’re by my side.

I woke up this morning, feeling kind of new.

 

By your side 12 December, 2007

You think I’d leave your side baby
You know me better than that
You think I’d leave you down when you’re down on your knees 
I wouldn’t do that
I’ll tell you you’re right when you want and if only you could see into me

When you’re cold, I’ll be there, hold you tight to me.

When you’re on the outside baby and you can’t get in 
I will show you you’re so much better than you know
When you’re lost and you’re alone and you cant get back again 
I will find you darling and I will bring you home

And if you want to cry, I am here to dry your eyes
And in no time, you’ll be fine

Was watching “Sex and the city”(yup, again) and this song played once again. The scene when Samantha and Richard were dancing by the pool and she cried when she finally decided to let her guards down to take the plunge..

Been wanting to find the title of the song, and I just got lucky!

 

kwik.i 11 December, 2007

Would do an entry on my zoo trip today (which made me really tired!) soon.

Would be leaving for Jakarta with my dad for a very very short trip tomorrow.

Would love to watch “p.s I love you”.

Would send out the Christmas cards soon!

Dream a little dream of me 10 December, 2007

It’s strange that I’ve been dreaming about the same person these days. Not that I’m complaining, but it just feels strange. Sigmund Freud believed that in order to live in a civilised society, we tend to hold back or repress our urges and impulses, and they’re released thru dreams. That’s funny, because it somehow implies that our dreams are filled with uges and impulses which are uncivilised. Of course, that’s just one school of thought which I happened to be reading. And for one, my dreams ain’t uncivilised, it would be good if it happens actually. Then I can call it Deja Vu.

People I meet in dreams seem to stop appearing once they fade in memory…it’s like even in my subconcious state of mind, I have forgotten about them. It’s sad, when they use to play such a big part in my life..it’s sadder when you know that yu’re being forgotten too, when you use to play a big part too. Passers-by in life, that’s what I call them.

And it’s 2 more weeks to Christmas. That’s fast. It’s a time when I start to look back and make preperations for the new year. But for the new year, I’ve decided no new year resolutions, because I never manage to fulfil any that I made so far.

4 days after the exams already, and besides lotsa sleeping, eating, shopping and doing nothing, I’ve done nothing productive at all..maybe except tuition. Geez, that’s what happens when you have a 5 weeks long holiday. Too long to enjoy, too short to work. I really dread days with nothing productive cos I feel my brain degenertaing. (Psst, actually that’s why I haven’t been blogging..I feel my brain ain’t functioning)

Just got back from Malaysia and hmm, it was eventful, in a drama way..other than that, I’m still pestering my dad to bring me to Jakarta..it’s been a long time since I’ve been there actually..

Give me something to do! Ok, would anyone teach me the guitar?

Psst. I’ve been surpressing the urge to cut my hair cos it has been 4 weeks since I went for my last haircut..5 more weeks…

You got me tripping, stumbling, flipping, fumbling..

Him, in black 5 December, 2007

He sits behind.

He slows down to walk past, sometimes, beside.

He was always in black, with a cap and the sexy sideburns.

Exams are over. Thank god. The question now is, what’s left to entertain me?

Psst. We were all sitting outside MPSH and I realise we love “Love Actually”. =)

Damn. Damn. Damn 4 December, 2007

I didn’t know Google is 谷歌。

I must have been blind googling the past few days, but miss taking note of the chinese name. Damn, I thought it didn’t have a chinese name! So I didn’t translate that term.

Translation paper was stressful! Had to bring in 3 dictionaries and with 2 hours, it wasn’t really enough to translate a passage from The Economist, plus do some analysis and give suggestion.

I was almost freaking out–thinking of what “Technocratic”, “Googleplex”, “Silicon Valley”, “managed conflict”, “luminaries”, “smart electronics”, “grease and grime”, “soft-ware rich cars”, “conventional wisdom” and “cross-fetilization”.

How can I not know what Google is? Shoot me Now.

Anyway, one more to go. I think the term 谷歌 is gonna be stuck in my head, for a long long time.

Now, lets talk about Cities-dual cities, polarization…

I think I can smell freedom, soon.

Bad day feeds on negative emotions 2 December, 2007

Do we need to forget in order to forgive?

If it’s yes, I could never forgive.

That mistake you made, and never apologised. Never acknowledged.

Maybe that’s why I find it hard to talk to you. A chore, I would call it.

And I would never forget the day you tried to convince me you’re happy.

Psst. Give me the energy. 3 more days.

December rain 1 December, 2007

It’s December! I love December.

Maybe because it Christmas, because the year is coming to an end, becasue it signifies a brand new year ahead, because I’ve a very good reason to be singing “All I want for Christmas is you”.

And, I was thinking about the theme for pot luck this Christmas–I was thinking “All I want for Christms is you”. Simply because all we have to do is to bring the food you would love to have for Christmas and share it with everyonr else who’s coming!
 

Was you-tubing and saw “Too Lost in you”, one of my fave.
I remember watching it with Ying Shi.
I remember tearing when this song was played.

Psst. Yup, nothing’s new-I tear real easily..I remember crying when watching “The Lion King”

Psst Psst. Happy Birthday Ming!

Anyway, here’s “Push the Button”. Haha, I quite like this vid..but I’ve got to say these girls can be quite Wild. Sexy.

Catch this opportunity so you and me can feel it cos if you’re ready for me, boy, you’ve got to push the button and let me know.

Shopertainment 1 December, 2007

From Pacione(05),

“Shopping has become intensely entertaining and this in turn encourages more shopping”

This convergence is called Shopertainment.
