Saturday, November 7, 2009, 04:22 p.m. GOD IS A CONCEPT BY WHICH WE MEASURE OUR PAIN Saturday, November 7, 2009, 01:58 p.m.Sentenced for neglecting Halloween was pretty good :D I wore my hot pink wig and drew a pink heart on my right cheekbone to imitate a Fafinette HAHA. I had fun and that's what matters anyway ((: Study week's almost over and I'm beginning to lament the spaced out timetable of my exams zzz Don't you feel that sometimes, when you're surrounded in a room full of people but no one gets you. Even with the few people you thought would (or at least never leave). It's better to not have hope at all than to be let down all over again. I keep repeating that "I've changed" but I can't tell exactly what is it about me that has changed.. Just the general feel, the subtle/direct actions I take, the way I think and feel towards everything. The way I behave. I have really changed. Not sure if it's for the better or worse, and I doubt I'll be able to tell in the near future. One thing's for sure: I am the fattest I've ever been my whole life and god forbid I never reach this state again, for the rest of my life. I need to believe I can drop the pounds )): Photo collages when I'm done with the examinations! Tuesday, October 27, 2009, 03:23 a.m. America! In continuation.. Steph went for school, I went to Westfield and Glenn stayed home to do his assignment. I was a total bargain shopper, yay me! Had B&J and Pinkberry yumz. After school Steph brought us to Rodeo Drive and I got my gold Tiffany & Co key pendant which my mummy agreed (I did feel a tinge bad but at least I won't have to send it back for polishing often!) :D :D :D Fraiche for dinner and if you looked up service in the dictionary, you'd find them there. No joke. We got appetizers between courses and a complimentary bottle of wine PLUS a huge discount off our bill, it was dirt cheap for what we ate. It's part of the Kudus treatment (: Steph drove to San Francisco the next day for 6hours! She's awesome :D Met her friends in Cupertino and had izakaya for dinner Tartini for dessert mmmm fro-yo. For the whole trip we stayed at her grand aunt's place, which was really nice (: We completed heaps of sightseeing! Saw the Golden Gate Bridge on a foggy morning, fantastic view; had Tartine for brunch delicious lemon meringue cake that melts in your mouth (would kill to have some now ):); walked Castro's where I've never seen so many topless guys in one area before; went up Twin Peaks for more panoramic sights; orgasmic Hog Island oysters at the Pier; Thai food and Union Square; Fisherman's Wharf where I bought a spray paint painting just because I had to have it and lastly, a dessert place [when I check the name I'd type it in]. That was some mad tourist day we had! Next up, Safeway for picnic materials and Cowgirl Creamery for cheese. Tomales Bay for fresh oysters, clams and mussels. Not forgetting the professional shucker and her disciple!! The juicy succulent taste of the freshly shucked oyster and clam, shit I'm salivating thinking about it ): I wanna go back zzzz Anyway we left late and managed to visit some shitty wineries but dinner at Zazu saved :D I keep reiterating but really, every meal was great- scores every single time without fail (: All these places were tried and tested by the very best of course. Steph drove down the crookedest street, Lombard and then we went to Haight street for thrift store hunting. I remember my B&J ice cream there, pumpkin cheesecake and half baked frozen yoghurt. They really should open a store in Melb, maybe I should attempt to franchise it here? Back to LA. Went to Santa Monica on my own and took the bus after Steph left me at Ross to shop! I waited so long before I asked the driver about the bus I was supposed to take ZZZ Third street promenade enough for a filthy rich teenager to go gaga in, you name it (not the high fashion brands) they have it! Church & State restaurant with her friends and the bone marrow was fucking good :D The waiter was all gangsta' no jokes on us, very attitude-ish if you can take it way. Damn zomg. E.g. : Us: We're ready if you're ready [to order] Him: I'm ready, I'm always ready. They don't pay me by the millions for nothing, I don't drive a lambo for nothing. Nick's Diner, authentic all-American diner place for brekkie then, Cabazon! Outlets outlets outlets. I spent so much $$$ there I'm feeling the pinch now, but Marc was worth it :D Luckily I'm awesome at managing my finances HAHA Then we went Far Bar in Little Tokyo for some drinks. KOMASA I CANNOT STOP RAVING ABOUT KOMASA (yes Kudus preferential treatment again) the portions were humongous, the uni very generous and creamy and light and melts in your mouth and costs an astounding $5.50 only OMFG!! I need to bring him here or me there. Yogurtland for dessert even though I was so stuffed I had to try. Steph and I went to Venice beach on an adventure, ended up at the Venice whaler chatting time away (: She skipped school and brought me to a crafts store and cost co (: We went The Grove and she paid for my Raybans as a bday gift whilst I got her the Etro wallet (which would never go on sale haha). KBBQ at Road to Seoul with her friends then K-Karaoke, they have quite a number of chinese songs surprisingly. Breakfast and Disneyland!! The happiest place on Earth :D Sab faked a knee injury on crutches, we rented a wheelchair and got to push her around all day. We only managed to skip the lines in Disneyland but not in Californian Adventure ): Bahh. She has an annual pass but when she takes the rides she'd burst into almost-tears and rant about 'Why am I on this when I don't even like it..." etc. Madness. Saw the parade and fireworks, there was one that shot up into a smiley face but I missed taking a photo of it zzz Ate a huge turkey leg, bigger than my face (that's quite big!) Made pennies at the penny arcade for my scrapbook. Ooh and bought a Alice in Wonderland snowglobe :D Chinese theatre in the morning, I touched Johnny Depp's once touched cement albeit a replica oh shut up. Mozza for lunch (: And to end our trip with Fraiche for a light dinner, couldn't ask for more except that I wish I could've stayed longer.. I'll see you next year sweetie (: 6 years and counting. Sunday, October 25, 2009, 09:14 p.m. Scoopy arm This picture reminds me of UP!  I had a 19hour sleep from 5pm Friday to 1pm Saturday. After that, another 3hour nap from 3-6pm. Zomg @_@ I woke up feeling emo. I realised that the past three weeks, I've had something to do everyday be it opening the shop, school or meeting friends to study. Something planned. I slacked the whole weekend away oh well, what's done is done and cannot be undone. Maybe when I feel like, I should go back to making photo collages of my US trip! Soon soon.. Bahh, at least city cable's up again and I have internet. The uploading for streaming is madslow I'm dying, gotta find other hosts besides megavideo :/  Wednesday, October 21, 2009, 03:03 a.m. Blackberry Messenger Really makes one feel connected to everyone at any time of day, as long as you have reception that is. After uploading all the US photos, choosing 150 out of 788. I was supposed to sleep.. but I don't know why here I am with my laptop on my tummy typing away. I can graduate on an academic waiver but the point is, I can graduate without spending an extra 3k for a summer subject (: I have so many plans for after graduating, I hope it all works out. I haven't found the inspiration to blog about the rest of my birthday trip.. guess I will soon (Note to self: start with LA after Vegas). Been studying everyday catching up on work. It is the least I should do since I probably have the slackest semester anyone knows of an undergrad, oh wells. Steph and I have plans for the end of Feb, just a little travelling. We'll see! Good morning Starshine, the Earth says Hello Thursday, October 8, 2009, 08:30 a.m. Blahland So I'm back in Melb with no internet @ home and a 5 yr plan to end up living in NYC with Steph (: Also, our yearly affairs to meet up in somewhere of the world! That is if our work allows us to. Zzz got to graduate first anyway. Sleep is good. My teeth hurt. In addition, I've been really incoherent- thoughts and speech wise. Picking up momentum to do work.. The holiday has been too good. Thursday, September 24, 2009, 12:50 a.m. US of A Just because I'm afraid my memory will fail me and I have time to, I shall attempt to document my trip thus far (mental note: google non-javascript locks for blog and to post photos when I'm back in Melb): Glenn and I left MEL with a transit in Auckland for LAX with a close to total 16 hours flight time. Steph brought us to Korean and BLT for dinner where we had our 1st dessert cake. Then we took a domestic flight with a transit in Memphis (haha we were in memphis!) to NYC! We stayed at the Westside Inn Hostel and it wasn't really according the website but this is budget and I guess we got our money's worth. Walked to Central Park because I insisted on getting hotdogs- must try! Err we bought one and it tasted like crap so we threw it away FAIL. Had vietnamese pho for lunch and red mango yoghurt. Walked around abit more then Aquavit for dinner with our 2nd dessert cake Glenn's official birthdate! Brunch at Hell's Kitchen and then Hell's Kitchen flea market where I spent quite a bit on two blazers, one box-shaped bag, two rings, one bangle and one t-shirt. Steph bought a poster with the words 'Song of Singapore' on it and it was a musical, totally unheard of. Cupcake cafe to chill then Rockefella, Times Square & Grand Central Station (GG moment haha). Then we took the train to New Jersey: Aberdeen-Matawan to my Godma's place. Had our 3rd cake there. It was really nice catching up with her since the last time I saw her was about >five years ago? Stayed over and got a lift to the Liberty park ferry in the morning. Saw the Statue of Liberty and we had to go through two custom checks to get to the platform zzz. Glenn went back to catch some shuteye and Steph and I explored the financial district, Ground Zero, Brooklyn Bridge, Chinatown and Little Italy. At Little Italy there was a fair going on we chanced upon because we wanted to try Rice to Riches (different flavoured rice pudding they should totally have in Melb that ppl would go crazy over, abit gelat after awhile but still). Saw a Dunk-the-Clown booth where the clown was giving trash talk to the ppl throwing and he called this really fat guy "Hey Pork Chop", damn funny. Walked 'till my feet were fucking tired then trained back and saw a couple from Israel. We all missed our stop cos on Sundays the trains don't go local after 7pm. Cabbed down to Babbo. Now, Babbo. I must say, is one of Steph's favourite restaurants but it's so popular she actually had to make the reservation one month in advance! I was and still am damn touched (: Italian dinner with Zhi Jian who got a dessert cake since his birthday falls on the 30th Sept (Steph coined us September babies haha). That was our 4th dessert cake. Drank two bottles of wine, took two polaroids and shared eight dishes (appetizers, mains and desserts). Cabbed to the Empire State building after just the three of us cos our guest had a paper to do. The night skyline was beautiful- especially when you're a little high! Cabbed to Times Square and it is so much more quiet at night, really nice. Walked through Central Park to the Great Lawn and the Met only to find it closed on Mondays. Bused to SoHo to have brunch at Hundred Acres with our 5th dessert cake and had a chill day which was very relaxing. I really like that district it has this quaintness yet edgy appeal to it, we all picked out buildings we'd like to live in one day (: Shopping at Uniqlo then hurried back to cab to the airport for our flight to Las Vegas, Nevada! I left our toothbrushes behind and lost one of my polaroids major bummer ): Up 'till now both Steph and Glenn were sick with cough, sore throats and headaches. We all had inadequate hours of sleep on top of that. The glamour of New York wasn't enough to overcome the crankiness and annoyance zzz It was a GREAT trip anyhow :D I <3 New York and would love to live there someday (: Reached Vegas at night and managed to get a suite at The Palazzo thanks to Steph and Sab ((: The bed was so comfy and toilet so spacious (as compared to said Westside Inn Hostel), such a luxury really! Woke up early to buy half-off tickets then MGM-Grand to get the tickets for the Cirque du Soleil KA. M&M factory hee hee! Champagne Lunch at The Buffet in Wynn, so so full I literally wanted to puke :/ Gambled abit then watched the fountain show at the Bellagio. KA was really good though I was falling asleep, I am in awe of the physical prowess of the acrobats :O Steph went to sleep and Glenn and I went down to gamble. Wheel of Fortune slots was bloody fun and we played Blackjack and machine Roulette I lost $$$ zzz That was sad, I am SO not a gambler. Had lunch at the Venetian, it was pretty inside! Then Glenn and I walked around Fashion Show, this huge mall with Nordstrom, Bloomingdale's and Macy's inside. Bought my brother's poker set which was bloody heavy and went to Rhumbar at The Mirage to chill with cocktails and I fell asleep HAHA. It's called fatigue I've been suffering from for the past three weeks I believe. Then it was flight back to LAX and here I am. Vegas was vegas, very very entertaining and enjoyable. This is a lengthy post zomg. In total I blew birthday candles six times! Americans don't take very nice photos or particularly from my polaroid zzz Tomorrow I am going to wake up early and go to the mall next door and shop! It's 1.30am alr -_- Wednesday, September 16, 2009, 10:14 p.m. Pre-Birthday Celebrations! So it's been a long while since we got together, what better excuse than to celebrate my 21st :D @ Maedeaya with Jap BBQ the bill came up to only 100 for 10 ppl it was awfully cheap since we (or I made Lyn order up to 5 plates of Gyozas HAHA what can I say, I love my gyozas (: We ordered more than 15 portions probably. Came home with delightful prezzies like Marilyn Monroe Barbie doll, DJ gift card and two cookbooks (100 calorie diet!!) Drinks after (Wolf Blass champagne) @ Lagerfield with Kevin, Ying, Tze and Blim was a nice end to the night (: Dinner with Glenn, Evan and Joyce at Jacques Reymond @ Prahran (awarded with three chefs hat!) was awesome :D the flavours blended really well and I loved my Paella and Pheasant, the dessert was a favourite too. The white & red was a great complement, one of the best dinners of the month (mainly cos the month's not over and I can't rmb most of my meals) ((: READY JETSET GO Sunday, September 13, 2009, 06:35 p.m. Frenzy Never again am I cutting my hair at Kairos (under the influence of Glenn from his godsis?!) she butchered my fringe ): WTH. And, I was coerced into working a Sat night warm weather shift, wasted 5 hrs of precious reference reading time :/ Here I am blogging zomg. I'm embarking on a Time check: Word count: References left: My incentive- after handing in my review by 4pm tomorrow I will head to safeway buy my baking supplies. Bake the lovely butter cake + vanilla buttercream frosting + fresh strawberries and chocolate cupcakes + vanilla buttercream frosting. All those photos on tumblr are so tempting, I can't wait! Will take photos this time! I will celebrate my getting through the roughest week of the year, surviving so far into this shitty semester and pre-trip anxieties!! :D Then I will zonk out and get up by 12pm. I am such a planner, it amuses me sometimes. But we all know; how often does things fall into place anyway. I'll let you know how things go.. HAHA Here's some photos of Melanie Laurent methinks she has beautiful bone structure and I love that she's French ((:   
Friday, September 11, 2009, 05:07 p.m.Already gone I need a break.  TRYing is overrated, so is birthday company. Why bother? It's just another day that I wish the universe would give me a kitkat. This stupid I/O subject is the mistake I have to face for another 6weeks. Last semester of uni is supposed to be awesome but up 'till now, it has been the second worst ): I dislike being in distress. What is my redeeming quality? I really need to be away from ppl, I keep bringing trouble or it finds me. More often than not, solitude is my fortitude. Wednesday, September 9, 2009, 05:47 p.m. Angels or devils I hope everything goes smoothly tomorrow and CNY in Sgp here I come. Please let my plans work out, I believe I've suffered enough from this worrisome and suckfest of a semester already. 
Friday, September 4, 2009, 09:47 p.m.Some say Today, I was a real tough cookie. I slept at 4am trying to complete my Int'l Finance assignment (much thanks to Jy!), attempted to wake up early to finish the leftover 400 words. Endured a one hour 16 times anesthesia injection cos I apparently kept 'feeling sharp pains' and four extractions. The lower teeth extractions were fucking painful, like someone tugging at my nerves and my gums did not want to lose. Zomg I almost flinched with each movement. The best part: I drove home. While feeling slightly dizzy from all that excess anesthesia and blood-filled gauze in my mouth. I'm a champion because I finished editing (somewhat) and filling up the 400 words in 40 minutes. Went to sleep for about 3 hours and, wait for it... Worked. Yepp I worked for 4 hours with only 2 nurofen tablets, including the inability to talk or smile much. Grumpy scoopy much. I'm awesome :D And I am going to sleep now because I need to study tomorrow sianz. What a numbers filled day. //Edit: Saturday, Glenn and I went for brunch at Mart's while I had porridge cos I couldn't bite zzz Then I accompanied him to Ikea where we spent the whole day instead of the as promised half day only deal ): So there, I burned my saturday but oh well he had to endure my crankiness haha. Guess it evens out! Spending 3hrs at Notturno's with Ying cos everywhere else was closed on Sunday was my breath of fresh air away from the uni news and int'l finance (: Tuesday, September 1, 2009, 08:42 p.m. Merdeka So I was M'sian for a night on sunday. It was awkward at the start but coming from trinity it's hard to be a total outsider anyway. I suffered several "Aren't you Singaporean?" taunts especially with our lingo and whatnot, quite annoying zzz I had fun ultimately :D Saturday, August 29, 2009, 10:40 p.m. Xndo Life is pretty much dullsville where I'm at. Mulling at home cozying up in my new warmth corner (!) listening to Wilhelm Kempff do Beethoven proud ((: with the alternative company of Tiesto and Armin (!!) Dullsville is looking pretty good but can't be compared to Cali where I'm heading in three weeks. I cannot wait to zoom there (!!!) I am determined to become a true blue skinny bitch, watch out weighing scale zzz Also I should stop sharing stories with my boss, it's unbecoming of my eccentricity. What have I become?! My internet's driving me mad, I should change my provider (bye bye Bigpond) but the thought of ploughing through several tabs to find the most worthy is so.. daunting. I think, I'll wait. Like every other procrastinator, k la see how Look at all the food! Must be skinny. Must. Be. Skinny.  
Saturday, August 22, 2009, 06:44 p.m.Pseudo Vegetarian Hello all, currently channeling The Big Bang Theory! It's hilarious :D At first I thought it'd be kinda dry, the type of comedy with too many words at fast pace and you won't want to stream it continuously. But here's me, waiting for my o.t. on megavideo! I can't quite wait for HIMYM Season 5 Also, school's a drag as always. I haven't seen Ning in two weeks and we're supposed to cut our hair; have brunch and go places etc. If you still read this, call me! I had a baking impulse the other night and attempted making soft peaks with egg whites the primordial way a.k.a by hand. I almost died after two hours and I was still whisking away. Note-to-self: Egg whites don't peak without an electric mixer. I promptly went to sleep at 6something am, woke up late for my dental cleaning, went down to Big W and found that the Abode $15 whisk was out of stock major bummer. I bought the Breville Wizz Mix instead. Now, I just bought myself a $27 3-in-1 blender, chopper, mixer (I can officially make creamy soups now!) from oo.com.au I am a ranting wastrel just wasting away on fats and lipids Monday, August 17, 2009, 07:16 p.m. Shailene Diann Woodley New craze, Secret life of an American teenager :D The Big Bang Theory also!    G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S Coraline in 3D was awesome too ((: Sunday, August 16, 2009, 07:46 p.m. Miss Marples power failure Woke up relatively early but still late, drove an hour and a half through a different way thanks to GPS in the stormy weather. Braving the cold only to find that Miss Marples was closed due to power failure, can you feel zomg? I think that was it. Nonetheless we found another place Kallista very vegan/vegetarian -ish with good scones, tiger prawns and mountains of macaroni!! (: Went home to sleep while Tiang and Debbie played Wii, which reminds me I need to borrow or buy more games :/ It was a good 2hr sleep. Until they woke me up to go Nasi Lemak House then Il Dolce Freddo. Now they're bumming around waiting for soccer to start and I am going to study because I have been slacking since Thursday sighh On a best note, Rajeev's increasing my pay to AUD12/hr starting next week! Fucking good news of the week :D I need to stop eating. Seriously. Need. To. Stop. Eating. Thursday, August 13, 2009, 12:10 a.m. Willa Holland Willa Holland Can you spell gorgeous?  Willa Holland Pictures Fuck yeah with this face! I am so in love (: So here's a whole slew of pictures grabbed from fanpix.net  Willa Holland Pictures  Willa Holland Pictures  Willa Holland Pictures Picnic lunch at Union house (: European dinner with my yums Spaghettini Alla Marinara ((: Jersey boys musical, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons (((: Lovely lovely polaroids! Jy I'll miss you Yes Ning it was damn good that it's gotten me into the whole 60's to 80's musical scene :D Will bring you to try European next time! Sunday, August 9, 2009, 09:40 p.m. The fabric of interaction Again, it is always always better to be alone. You just can't trust anyone anymore. Hello Mr. Mysterious Scarecrow and Ning! (: My lovely study buddy heh. Things might look up soon I hope, what goes up must come down and vice versa. Saturday, August 8, 2009, 02:29 a.m. Vanilla Brown Butter cupcakes Just finished baking 40 mini cupcakes :D After calling Oh Sheng at 2am to borrow 2eggs HAHA Good to have familiar neighbours in my building! I hope it tastes good, I smothered the top with dark chocolate and some have food colouring heh. So there are pink, blue and green ones! Happy graduation Jy! This is to the rainbow we all (namely, me) wish to see in our future (: 
Tuesday, August 4, 2009, 04:53 p.m.(no subject) My memory's failing me to the extent I resort to writing down every thing I have to do or think of because I know after 30mins it's off my head.  Clementine: Too many guys think I'm a concept, or I complete them, or I'm gonna make them alive. But I'm just a fucked-up girl who's lookin' for my own peace of mind; don't assign me yours. Photobucket's acting up zzz. !!!!!!!!!!
MAJOR UPSIDE! Glenn and I just bought our LAX tickets for an awesome thousand dollars only :D We saved $500AUD like woah! I am incredibly ecstatic, especially with steals like this. Now I have more money to shop and eat :D Sorry Ning, Lyn and Cherie for flying off on our supposedly planned birthday celebration :/ I appreciate the gesture greatly, thank you so much. Consider this my 21st birthday present to myself, a 16day holiday in the United States (hopefully California, New York and Vegas) (: Since I will be spending my birthday there, this is a very suitable excuse for my expensive holiday :D Sunday, August 2, 2009, 09:53 p.m. I no happiness I had a relatively good holiday despite the bad ending of an accident :/ Phuket was seriously awesome to the max :D I can't explain whether it was the exoticism along with the company or the good fun overall. Basking in the sun with real friends (: Squeezing in days to hang with Jan and chilli crab followed by wala was delightful (: TD2, chilling everywhere and MJAA with Joe was great (: Long weekends for all four of us except Ning but this sem is much more slack! I've been sleeping on my sofa for a week alr, gotta start clearing my closet soon! Zzz so cold. Jy's coming! My new mantra: I love mundane and routine. 
Monday, July 27, 2009, 01:54 p.m.Sickening MFI. ZZZ Thursday, July 23, 2009, 03:56 p.m. Plagued 
Sunday, July 19, 2009, 03:34 a.m.The accused Some things you say, some you don't. Some things you should say, but you don't. Some things you shouldn't say, but you do. Some things you should say tactfully, but you try. Some things you should say harshly, but you hesitate. What matters is the consequence and what difference is made. Life is fucked up. Does it matter? A silent world seems bloody appealing right now, one without humans or without communication. This is hilarious. Diagnosis #1: Binge eating disorder. Diagnosis #2: Self (organism type)-loathing. Both more extreme than expected. Thursday, June 25, 2009, 12:04 a.m. Wicked Been cooking much lately, tang yuan, sushi (sardines and avocado) and tamago yaki :D More tomorrow. Caught Wicked with Maine, Weiling and Ridwan! Honestly, I didn't really understand their soprano-ish singing at the start :/ Though I thought Fiyero was quite cute, the plot was bearable and overall okay-ly good musical. Their singing was awesome and the orchestra was incredible really :D I thought it was a recording (haha) that was a major plus! Maine got us good seats too (: It also seems Lyn and Adi have disappeared because (Ning too!) I don't know when they left or what not zzz. Nevermind, Ning I shall see you on 27th July. Lyn and Adi 3rd July! Friday, June 19, 2009, 10:12 p.m. One week Olsen + Suri Cruise <3      Like something's stuck in my throat and the words can't come out. Yet the lines are rehearsing through my mind, I don't want the exams to end. Like someone pulled the rug from under my feet and that feeling of- falling forward. Yet you never touch the floor. I need to find my ground before I hurl. Time's moving too fast for my liking. Tuesday, June 16, 2009, 03:46 p.m. Blast off! COUNTDOWN!
Sunday, June 14, 2009, 08:46 p.m.10, 9, 8... Slew Introduction to Psychological Disorders (probably the most intriguing subject of four years) is making me constantly trying to distract myself. Wanted to squeeze Basic Econometrics in but Lisa and Henry drive me mad with condense lectures :/ Also, I disgusted friends with excess information like zoophilia (animals), coprophilia (faeces), klismaphilia (enemas), urophilia (urine), necrophilia (corpses), telephone scatologia (obscure phone calls), frotterism (surreptitiously rubbing up against strangers, e.g., in trains). Not to mention voyeurism, exhibitionism, fetishism, sexual dysfunctions etc. Hence, the influx of posts. Nevermind nevermind, image happy I am (: Stress be gone! Methinks one of them Chanel cupcakes will do the trick.    Credits to peacelovechanel.tumblr I'm gonna hunt for some Olsen lovin' (turn 23 today!) / Twiggy / Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie / Suri Cruise / gorgeous visuals :D //Edit: I went tumblr.com crazed and got myself an account!! Fwah, too many pweety pictures ((: Saturday, June 13, 2009, 12:02 p.m. Fresh from Baillieu The awesome embroidery tattoo on someone's back Joe found! Looks genuine, props to the tattoo artist.  I've been here three weeks and counting literally everyday, nine more days 'till the end. Popping almonds, drinking soy chai (Kerekere boy knows me and my order!). A mental note: I had spearmint contaminated bubble tea yesterday and today, new and mint-free replacement (: I'd say good start to this freezing Saturday especially Zingarella brunch with Jy :D French toast with bacon bananas maple syrup + Wild mushrooms with Poached egg. Absolutely yummerz Love Emma Watson!   <3 <3 <3 Definitely envious too. Doesn't she make you want to go out and grab some Burberry items, I know I do :/ Wish I had those deep pockets too. The second one's Lagerfeld couture @_@ Credits to pinkisthenewblog. Wednesday, June 10, 2009, 12:58 p.m. Two papers down After non-stop studying for two weeks, this is the third week already. I like the no-distractions available this year (and the rest of my life) :D Yet sometimes it's overcompensated by other issues zzz Wish that my efforts will pay off though. Sighh hate that feeling like nothing is ever enough. Then again, time smothers all emotions when you let it or even when you don't. Like a new slate; a new beginning each time. Snip snip Everything will get better when I'm back, wait for me Thursday, June 4, 2009, 11:38 p.m. Blackberry Curve 8900  I cannot wait to get my sweaty hands on you ((: Come July yippee yay yay! Phuket trip with the bunch (yes upgraded from group) without Ning but she'll be enjoying Great Barrier Reef and Sydney so all's good! I cannot cannot wait. After cancelling our July States trip to September (Note: remember to check prices and book soon!) This winter already sounds smashing :D Three more weeks to endure. It's only 21 days. Sunday, May 31, 2009, 10:17 p.m. Hiatus Until thought-provoking moments occur, excitement happens or the want to blog inspires. Seven with the bunch to celebrate Charlene's birthday where smooth and sobriety reigned (: I like! Also Baroque for Mabel's. HIP HAPS people are we :D Brunch with Ying, Jane and Tzebaby at Mart's (: Mmmm. I wish I were a pair of scissors so I can snip away at all ties + strings. Especially right now when I need to the most. What bad timing really zzz alone is so much better K see ya peeps Wednesday, May 27, 2009, 04:26 a.m. Quattro I've met some angels in my life. A handful of plastics and demons. Then there are the undeciphered. We're afraid to show our true selves because people might not be able to accept us, for who we truly are. We show multiple facades to ingratiate ourselves with how we'd like to be known as, no one favours a degradative label. So, who are we? I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you 'Cos I find it hard to take No where's safe anymore.

It started with innocent online surfing from UrbanOutfitters and I got to asos.com ZOMG. I just spent SGD211 (bulk on shipping cursed postage zzz) on my momma's credit card :/ On the bright side, sale items x 7. That's quite a steal! Now I'm at f21 and everything looks so cheap!! Hopefully by the time Lyn, Cherie and Ning see this it'll be Saturday heh. Which will explain my tiresome self attempting to wield the badminton racket. Can't wait for our awesome dinner/ poker night/ 3 people MJ :D My thinspiration (:

A: Princess Diana's death. Q: Why so? A: An English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend crashes in a French tunnel, driving a German car with a Dutch engine, driven by a Belgian who was drunk on Scottish whiskey, followed closely by Italian Paparazzi, on Japanese motorcycles, treated by an American doctor, using Brazilian medicines! This is sent to you by a Malaysian, using American, Bill Gates' technology which he stole from the Japanese.

Saturday, May 9, 2009, 02:10 p.m.Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. -Dylan Thomas Love could be Sunshine and candy. Holidays. Ridiculously long conversations. Having meals together. Piggyback rides anywhere. Simpsons, Mickey Mouse, roses and magazines. Sleeping in. Painful. Sharing your everything. Photographs. Leaving a message. Telling jokes. Foot massages. Sleeping with the fan on because she's sick.

Wednesday, May 6, 2009, 08:50 p.m.Still no pictures Today was a spacey day. Early in the morning as I was walking to my lecture theatre, I saw an old man. White hair, jacket on, pants off ass in my sight. Yeah he was shitting in Lincoln square near the lamp post. I am positive because I glanced over twice to make sure and no I am not a perv for old men who defaecate in parks @_@ I fell asleep in my MFI lecture yet again. This time, I couldn't even keep myself awake when I tried to. Did I mention that I sit in the third row from the front? Zomg. Monday, May 4, 2009, 07:53 p.m. 10 things 1) I don't like to eat onions (rarely I do) 2) I don't like to eat eggs (occasionally scrambled and softboiled) 3) I don't like it when people chew food loudly near me (namely Janice Ou haha) 4) I hate it when people shake their legs, worse when it literally affects me 5) I don't enjoy scribbles on my notes (unless it's neat/nice handwriting) 6) I spew too many profanities for my own good 7) I buy Happy meals when I'm sad 8) I get absorbed with trash tv and gossip websites too easily 9) Did I mention I want to marry either a Kiwi (not the fruit) or Kim Hyun Joong? 10) I will miss my mum when she leaves tomorrow. On a brighter note, we tried France Soir at Toorak which was near divine (: I had truffle pasta, very very delightful mmmm Our whole bill went up to $94 only complete with glass of wine, Perrier, escargots and scotch fillet!! **Group alert Major dieting starts, FIGHTING!!!

Saturday, April 4, 2009, 06:30 p.m. Friday night Last minute adventure rides :D Night market with overpriced food but I got my tau huay! Then off to Veggie Mum with the most delightful soy fish and chicken dishes I've ever tried, srsly good (: Back home with Soho, Malibu and Jose (our good friends)! Games of Wii Sport, Indian poker and Big titty cow girls left us rolling on the floors literally :D Videos and photographs were captured. T'was truly a wonderful wonderful funfilled night. Something Jieying found, much credits to and I'm sure plenty will find inspiring in more ways than one (: This Too Shall Pass
Sunday, March 29, 2009, 01:36 p.m.If I can endure for this minute Whatever is happening to me, No matter how heavy my heart is Or how dark the moment may be- If I can remain calm and quiet With all the world crashing about me, Secure in the knowledge God loves me When everyone else seems to doubt me- If I can but keep on believing What I know in my heart to be true, That darkness will fade with the morning And that this will pass away, too- Then nothing in life can defeat me For as long as this knowledge remains I can suffer whatever is happening For I know God will break all of the chains That are binding me tight in the darkness And trying to fill me with fear- For there is no night without dawning And I know that my morning is near. -Helen Steiner Rice Forecast Warm weather week ahead!!

Good day indeed ((: He was probably the one who said "I love you" in the mirror. Then he forgot. ZOMG TOTALLY HAHA I HAD TO PUT THIS UP REALLY! It's such a twist on the korean version with more soul, whoever the girl she's AWESOME :O Wednesday, March 25, 2009, 10:52 p.m. In a nutshell  Hello, Cowardly Lion. I must warn that you are about to commit an irreversible mistake upon an assumed 'mistake'. You escape the inevitable against all odds because you are afraid that trying will result in failure. You're fearful that the world will collapse like it once did. As you slowly re-build your universe again, no matter how much you yearn for the past like what your heart shouts out now. You tell yourself never to look back because you're afraid of making another attempt. Well, I can't give you courage. It is well within you and depends on whether you have the guts to use it. To me, she's just another Amanda. Yours sincerely, The Wizard. "The next time I go looking for my heart's desire, I won't look any further than my own backyard. If it's not there, then I never really lost it to begin with." Monday, March 23, 2009, 09:39 p.m. The statistics of beauty On the streets of Singapore. 7 out of 10 girls will be considered as acceptable to not bad looking, depending on dress sense and make up. Maybe 1 or 2 out of that 7 is good looking. For guys, 3 out of 10 will be said acceptable. And 1 out of those 3 might be good looking. Thats actually an overestimation already. This is taking into account that 'good looking' applies to appearing pleasant to a majority of peoples' eyes. In Melbourne, just multiply the denominator by 3 (rough approximation?) and you get how lucky men in this world are. We ladies- I honestly have nothing comforting to say except I hope my son will turn out gorgeous so he'll get his pick of the pack (if I ever get married haha). I make a rather good statistician huh! Valid theory all. To those people who think 'looks aren't everything', seriously. Stop bullshitting yourself! Take cyber dating for example, you fall in love with that person's personality but in reality what if his/her appearance were not good looking or even repulsive to your standards? Unless you're so madly in love a.k.a. Love is Blind, then by all means go ahead. I'll respect you for that. P.s. Yes looks aren't everything but what I mean is it counts for something. The above paragraph is for self-righteous people who idealise Love to a degree I find unacceptable, impractical and illogical. Saw a man in the movies that didn't have a heart
On a lighter note, this took some stress off (: The good ones were disabled for embedding so make do. And major ouch for that guy who got his leg broken oooh How I wish I could give him mine Then I wouldn't have to feel it breaking all apart And this emptiness inside would suit me fine It's times like these I wish I were the tin man You could hurt me all you wanted I'd never even know Well...I'd give anything just to be the tin man And I wouldn't have a heart and I wouldn't need a soul Sighh, assignment season. I feel like game. Sunday, March 22, 2009, 01:42 p.m. 500km Driving to Great Ocean Road was winding, tiring and exhilirating :D Poor Adi's car had no form of entertaintment except Cherie and Lyn's singing I suppose or Cherie's coughing rhythms! We had a scrumptious dinner complete with Italian-style pasta; Indo and Honey chicken wings; Ribs and Chocolate fondue! The place was rather infested with worms though :/ EEW  We played Spongebob monopoly 'till one and ended up not waking up for the sunrise at the Twelve Apostles ): Major bummer. Maine bought me a postcard with the 'sunrise' (looks like sunset) to make me feel better HAHA I have it on my corkboard now. The weather was GREAT a little warm but very bearable :D Perfect photo opportunities.   Thursday, March 19, 2009, 07:32 p.m. 별빛눈물 (Starlight tears)- 김유경 새하얀 별빛이 눈물을 감싸요
Wednesday, March 18, 2009, 10:28 a.m.따뜻한 바람에 눈물이 내려요 그대 느끼나요 조용히 속삭이는 그대를 향한 이 떨림을 하얀 종이 위에 그댈 그려요 따뜻한 미소가 날 안아 주네요 이게 사랑인가요 두 눈을 감아 봐도 그대만 보이는 걸요 I will be waiting for you 그댈 기다릴게요 더이상 아픈 눈물 보이지 않을래요 You let me know 거짓말 같은 사랑 놓지 않을 거에요 바로 그대니까요 그대와의 기억 속을 걷고 있어요 가슴 속 가득히 눈물이 고여요 나 어떻게 하죠 꿈속에서도조차 그대를 그리워해요 I will be waiting for you 그댈 기다릴게요 더이상 아픈 눈물 보이지 않을래요 You let me know 거짓말 같은 사랑 놓지 않을 거에요 바로 그대니까요 날 바라봐 줘요 저기 저 별들처럼 내 맘의 그대가 되어줄 수 없나요 I will be waiting for you 그댈 기다릴게요 더이상 아픈 눈물 보이지 않을래요 You let me know 거짓말 같은 사랑 놓지 않을 거에요 바로 그대니까요 The weekend A blast of ups and slight downs (like squatting and proceeding to sit on the dancefloor with Gowri haha). Regardless I've been parasiting on Cherie and Lyn for the past two days eating up their time! Many thanks to them (: Oh Ning sometimes I feel I blog for your viewing pleasure and my photo collages cos you don't have fb! HAHA so I know you'll read this, miss you ah :D And I got my first speeding fine shit $142!! Think you're gonna nag me. <3 you still So Eve on friday :D   It was hilarious to see Gowri and Kat drunk seriously and they can really drink. Madness. I got myself a girlfriend for a day and broke up with her cos she started lamenting about how she wished she had a bf. WHAT THE. This was us, then.  I hate the way you talk to me and the way you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare. I hate your big dumb combat boots and the way you read my mind. I hate you so much it makes me sick, it even makes me rhyme. I hate it- I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. I hate it when you're not around and the fact that you didn't call. But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all. Saturday, March 14, 2009, 11:47 a.m. Dear T, A blog is only useful when read. So I hope you see this. It used to be how you and I’d be bitter about the next person who comes along for either of us. Now we’ll be glad. It’s not about fitting two pieces of a puzzle together because you were never a piece- to me you’re a catalyst and I’m just one out of the few million chemical matters waiting to be broken down. Literally, chemically, physically processed. I’m the pig waiting to be slaughtered or technically dead and decomposed already. I understand it seems like a brand new lease on life and I serve as the only reminder to the past you want to erase. I understand your efforts of getting out of this vicious cycle that’s proven to be bad for us. I know how staying away can help maintain that determination. Tell me that this makes you happy, I will gladly do it; for you. I don’t know how else I can convey my feelings without coming across as psychotic (as some say) but when a guy is persistent in expressing his feelings it’s considered romantic. When a girl does the same, she’s desperate and pathetic. Sighh. I did what I could. If you fall, stumble down. I'll pick you up off the ground. If you lose faith in you. I'll give you strength to pull through. Tell me you won't give up. Cause I'll be waiting if you fall you know- I'll be there for you Every phrase so true and I have people who can vouch so; you of all should know it in your every bone. I stood by you every step of the way placing your emotional health as priority. When you fell; when you felt the world against you; when you thought the sky was tumbling down on you alone; when you were surrounded by darkness; whenever you needed me. Was it all a show? Call me stupid that giving my all I got nothing in return except hurt and betrayal, I choose to be daft. I’ve always been a practical person but this time I can’t rule out my heart since I’ve decided to face my truth. Your good news would be hopefully foolishness will fade soon enough. I’ve stated that I’d like to stay. That we have come so far regardless of you giving up, I’m not going to change your mind or follow your sentiments. All I ask is for you to not leave. Also, at least grow some balls to tell me if there’s someone else thank you. I’m not posting here to be judged by anyone so if you’re not who I’m addressing just mind your own business. As public as this is, it is my last outlet. So give it to me. This was something old school and familiar so my friends there's no cause for worry (: I just find the lines intriguing, fair enough. I paint a pretty picture
Tuesday, March 10, 2009, 07:07 p.m.I paint it with a twist I paint it with a razorblade I paint it on my wrist And if I do it right A fountain will appear And in this bloody fountain All my troubles disappear House M.D. House: Does it bother you that we have no social contract? Wilson: My whole life is one big compromise. I tiptoe around everyone like their made of china. I spend all my time analysing what the effect will be if I say this. Then there's you- you're a reality junkie. If I offered you a comforting lie you'd smack me over the head with it. Let's not change that. House: Okay. Wilson: No, see this. If you were implementing the social contract, you'd say that but only because it makes me feel better. House: It is kind of fun, watching you torture yourself. Samantha: Men cheat for the same reason dogs lick their balls: because they can. Carrie: Well, I think maybe there's a cheating curve. That someone's definition of what constitutes cheating is in direct proportion to how much they themselves want to cheat. Miranda: That's moral relativism! Carrie: I prefer to think of it as quantum cheating. Carrie Bradahaw: People say 'Everything happens for a reason.' These people are usually women. And these women are usually sorting through a break-up. It seems that men can get out of a relationship without even a 'Goodbye,' But, apparently, women have to either get married or learn something. Carrie Bradshaw: In love relationships there is a fine line between pleasure and pain. In fact it is a common belief that a relationship without pain is a relationship not worth having. To some pain implies growth. But how do we know when the growing pains stop and the pain pains begin? Are we masochists or optimists if we continue to walk that fine line? Carrie Bradshaw: I started thinking about honesty. Maybe the whole idea was overrated. Maybe coming clean is the ultimate selfish act: a way to absolve yourself by hurting someone who doesn't deserve to be hurt. Carrie Bradshaw: I wanted to tell him I was afraid he could never love me the way I wanted to be loved. I was afraid that maybe he didn't have the capacity to love anyone but himself. I was afraid that, given the chance, he'd break my heart again. But I cheated and just said 'I guess I was afraid.' Rorschach: Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says "But Doctor... I am Pagliacci." Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains. Rorschach: Stood in firelight, sweltering. Bloodstain on chest like map of violent new continent. Felt cleansed. Felt dark planet turn under my feet and knew what cats know that makes them scream like babies in night. Looked at sky through smoke heavy with human fat and God was not there. The cold, suffocating dark goes on forever and we are alone. Live our lives, lacking anything better to do. Devise reason later. Born from oblivion; bear children, hell-bound as ourselves, go into oblivion. There is nothing else. Existence is random. Has no pattern save what we imagine after staring at it for too long. No meaning save what we choose to impose. This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It’s us. Only us. Streets stank of fire. The void breathed hard on my heart, turning its illusions to ice, shattering them. Was reborn then, free to scrawl own design on this morally blank world. Was Rorschach. Does that answer your questions, Doctor? That's why it's called a heart break. It's not meant to be fixed. Monday, March 9, 2009, 10:30 p.m. Labour day Work with no double pay again of course ): Plans with Steph and Cherie about squeezing LA; San Francisco; Las Vegas and New York into 14 days! I AM SO EGGCITED :D But thinking about how much money I gotta thrift up and earn. The holiday funding stress sighh Moomba on Saturday night, my view of the fire show was blocked by branches and leaves. Took a few pictures of but mostly blurred. Woke up early Sunday morning and drove an hour and a half to Mornington Sunny Ridge Farm (due to tight schedule we couldn't explore around much). On the road there we coincidentally 'bumped' into Cherie's cousin! The infuriating part was after picking for so long, the puny and as red as possible strawberries, some guy came along and told Maine that further up there were bigger juicier and red-der ones!! We couldn't tell that there was a bigger plantation ahead or behind the trees ): UNFAIR but our produce wasn't shy of sweetness and the scones there were delectable.. so it's bearable.   After we had our REUNION DINNER steamboat all! Ning and Cherie painstakingly prepared savoury stock with added dried scallops cooked for long hours + marinated meat + readymade meatballs fishballs fishtofu crabstick + tau pok. Maine and Weiling prepared very scrumptious lou hei with extra shredded apple and ingredients as close to the original platter as possible (we laued and said our auspicious lines!) Lyn and Adi made homemade professional divine dumplings with extra powdered ginger in the filling :O I made tang yuan with sesame powder (EPIC FAILURE) and red bean paste which tasted like mochi. Good mochi! All in all, our reunion dinner was festive, wholesome and incredibly heartwarming (: Coupled with Sic Bo gambling session after. My insides (i.e. heart!, stomach, intestines all) FEEL COMPLETE.   Pasta and strawb chocolate fondue continuation today :D I am immensely grateful for my caring friends I'm surrounded with. Thank you (: Hiding to make them less worried I am so very tired all at the same time. I am strong because I am my own saviour. Wednesday, March 4, 2009, 07:41 p.m. Freaking pissed off I FINALLY GOT DOWN TO CALLING QANTAS TO CHANGE MY FLIGHT (after I waited on the phone for about twenty minutes), MY HOUSE PHONE RAN OUT OF BATT. WAH FUCKING DULAN. BLOODY HELL BLOODY HELL. ZZZ. School has been like school except we're (I'm) all so seasoned it feels like we didn't leave, sorta. I must get better grades this semester!

Lindt Petits Desserts Creme Brulee; Black sesame marshmallows; Strawberry yoghurt chocolates; Ferrero Rondnoir! A glitter heart and gorgeous mask (: All finishing already. SHO YUMMAY  At Stoker's with relatively delicious pancakes and sundaes. Look at their reversed clock, I had trouble reading it :/ Oh, also the snack pack Lyn gave me and my current corkboard (: Friday, February 27, 2009, 09:28 p.m. Metal mouth New song credits to Ning! Out and about! Ning and I had a rather pleasant Japanese dinner in a freaking ulu part of Caulfield, Glenhuntly road. All the shops were closed and there weren't any dessert places around, 'cept for this famed Singaporean restaurant we saw- Wild Ginger. We should try but Ning said she wouldn't unless there was a 50% discount HAHA. My wall :D  Holiday week!  Everybody's coming home (: (HAHA) My personality love style: You desire a love that will last forever. You are quite serious about finding this type of love, and that's why you think carefully about the men that you meet before deciding whether you could really love them. You don't just develop a crush on someone overnight: you look at a person's personality and other aspects of their life before deciding to form an attachment. If a guy doesn't meet your expectations, you would rather be alone. Your love has to be perfect. Be careful though, you could be missing out on some worthy relationships because your standards are so high. (HAHA) What does being a friend really mean to you?: You value your friendships: 75% You love your friends very much - so much so that it's actually quite a worry. You may not be able to cope very well when you do lose somebody's friendship. You are a very sensitive and fragile person, and are therefore likely to get upset easily. You care for your friends and are willing to do anything that they ask you to do. Sometimes this can make your friends think that you are a bit of a nuisance. Nevertheless, people do really love you because your highest priority is your friends. Tuesday, February 24, 2009, 08:06 p.m. Money slipping away Too quickly for me to hold ): Okay no more shopping since I got what I wanted already, or more shopping with conscious effort of saving! HAHA. Anyway, here's some eye candy:   Top Left- Koo Hye Sun acting as Keum Jandi (Shan Cai) Top Right- Lee Min Ho acting as Gu Jun Pyo (Dao Ming Si) The resemblance to Jerry Yan is uncanny! Bottom Left- Kim Bum acting as So Yi Jung (Si Men) Bottom Right- Kim Joon acting as Song Woo Bin (Mei Zuo) My creme de la creme, Kim Hyun Joong acting as Yoon Ji Hoo (Hua Ze Lei).  School's starting and we're all losing our memory space already. Shitz. Still have the Jap version Hana Yori Dango to go! (: Saturday, February 21, 2009, 10:21 p.m. Shopping mopping With Ning and Weiling at Doncaster Westfield. I got to eat T.G.I.

And my lips are raw as hell From biting on 'em just to stay awake But its not like I'm gonna need 'em, Cause you won't be around To see them bleed and break Monday, February 16, 2009, 10:34 a.m. Fearful Of tomorrow's exam ): I hate how you study but fate isn't controlled by your hand. I am hitting a low One day Solomon decided to humble Benaiah Ben Yehoyada, his most trusted minister. He said to him, "Benaiah, there is a certain ring that I want you to bring to me. I wish to wear it for Sukkot which gives you six months to find it." "If it exists anywhere on earth, your majesty," replied Benaiah, "I will find it and bring it to you, but what makes the ring so special?" "It has magic powers," answered the king. "If a happy man looks at it, he becomes sad, and if a sad man looks at it, he becomes happy." Solomon knew that no such ring existed in the world, but he wished to give his minister a little taste of humility. Spring passed and then summer, and still Benaiah had no idea where he could find the ring. On the night before Sukkot, he decided to take a walk in one of the poorest quarters of Jerusalem. He passed by a merchant who had begun to set out the day's wares on a shabby carpet. "Have you by any chance heard of a magic ring that makes the happy wearer forget his joy and the broken-hearted wearer forget his sorrows?" asked Benaiah. He watched the grandfather take a plain gold ring from his carpet and engrave something on it. When Benaiah read the words on the ring, his face broke out in a wide smile. That night the entire city welcomed in the holiday of Sukkot with great festivity. "Well, my friend," said Solomon, "have you found what I sent you after?" All the ministers laughed and Solomon himself smiled. To everyone's surprise, Benaiah held up a small gold ring and declared, "Here it is, your majesty!" As soon as Solomon read the inscription, the smile vanished from his face. The jeweler had written three Hebrew letters on the gold band: gimel, zayin, yud, which began the words "Gam zeh ya'avor" -- "This too shall pass." At that moment Solomon realized that all his wisdom and fabulous wealth and tremendous power were but fleeting things, for one day he would be nothing but dust. And this, too, shall pass away Credits to wikipedia.org. Saturday, February 14, 2009, 02:16 p.m. I think Friedrich Nietzsche is rather sexist. The quotes I found regarding women were mostly about impregnation and wholly unreasonable personalities. Still a provocative thinker though. My shitty Valentine's = working when I actually rather study :/ Happy Valentine's Day!
Friday, February 13, 2009, 01:46 p.m.To all the loves in my life :* Chuck Palahniuk I thought we were a real love relationship. I did. I was very invested in love, but it was just this long long sex thing that could end at any moment because after all, it's just about getting off. Almost all the time, you tell yourself you're loving somebody when you're just using them. This only looks like love. If you don’t know what you want, you end up with a lot you don’t. You know, the condom is the glass slipper of our generation. You slip it on when you meet a stranger. You dance all night, then you throw it away. The condom, I mean. Not the stranger. [HAHAHA] What we call chaos is just patterns we haven't recognized. What we call random is just patterns we can't decipher. What we can't understand we call nonsense. What we can't read we call gibberish. There is no free will. There are no variables. There is only the inevitable. If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character...Would you slow down? Or speed up? Maybe we have to break everything to make something better out of ourselves. Friday, February 13, 2009, 12:56 p.m. Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche In the mountains of truth, you never climb in vain. Either you already reach a higher point today, or you exercise your strength in order to be able to climb higher tomorrow. That God became man indicates only this: that man should not seek his salvation in eternity, but rather establish his heaven on earth. And nobody lies as much as the indignant do. Blessed are the forgetful, for they get the better even of their blunders. Thursday, February 12, 2009, 06:14 p.m. Sometimes We need to say out loud what we are thankful for and what we appreciate. D didn't remind me to take photos of the wonderful dinner she cooked (Mm steamed fish), opening the store with me, buying groceries and for being a good housemate(!) Ning cleaning up, cooking porridge yesterday plus scouting travel agencies for NZ fares (because I had work)! Nonetheless, thank you (: My teeth hurt from the separator rings ): It'll be worst next week. Now that your treatment has started you're on the track to terrific teeth :D On the other hand, I need a better paying job :/ The irony, HAHAHA I appreciate you caring and compromising.  Babe, I'm here for you. Always. The others don't know nothing cos they don't have it like we do. Seventh year and counting <3 Monday, February 9, 2009, 09:22 p.m. Dry spell and fickle When it comes to the writing block, I have been stuck. Mainly because there's nothing much interesting going on except cramming my studyload for the exam, working, worrying about mundane things like money/studies (again) and selling the car. Which reminds me of those people who really wasted my time and repeatedly implied I was dodgy. Wth. Oh, Kam Ninghui pangseh-ed me for dinner on Sunday! She was happily sleeping away when I was grumpy for an hour :/ Haha, Ning I'm waiting for you to make it up to me. Say, porridge for dinner on Wed? Friday, February 6, 2009, 10:15 p.m. When You run on blind faith, it could take you far or you could fall off the cliff. With the fact that; you can't see what's ahead. All you have is that leap you took- will you make it through or crash and burn? Housing with D has been every bit of fun and relative comfortability, which spells good (: We try to plan cooked meals together, talk about random stuffs (mostly her), she really helps out around the house more than me and we enjoy each other's presence. Things will feel quite different when she moves back :/ (I must be too used to her cleaning the dishes and having someone else in the house haha) Tomorrow's going to be a hawt day! ): Monday, February 2, 2009, 02:09 p.m. Life In my mind is frazzled and disturbing. I want to watch Frozen River because it is kinda cool to see your name all over the big screen and in magazines, though the face doesn't match. It is also quite creepy when you think of your name combination as rather unique and to find another person with the same. Sucky.  Slumdog Millionaire deserves to be Best Film, a nomination alone is borderline recognition. It was provocative in all aspects. I really dislike Salim urgh. Dinner with Huajia at her territory this time Clayton! I got to eat Cold Rock :D Considering the last time was Sept '07 in Gold Coast heh. Yummy fun as usual!!  Me: I'm more mellow. D: Was that pun intended? -laughs at her 'smug' reply. Ultimate -_- My heartstrings are torn.
Friday, January 30, 2009, 11:05 p.m.Goodbye Heart, welcome back Head (: It's been too long Deadbeat I'm just too far From where you are I wanna come home Wednesday, January 28, 2009, 03:02 p.m. Car sales Is NOT my forte! Heh, Happy Chinese New Year all :D Weiling and I went for a spa pedicure today. This whole week is going to be so so hot :/ It's like 42degrees now! I saw a woman on the street who lifted up her arm and revealed great tufts of brown pit hair :/ Also, Rajeev showed us someone's resume where he wrote "I am from China. I like to drink coffee. I really love it." What he learnt from his previous workplace "Develop intercourse skill". Honestly. Wtf. HAHAHA Update: Today's heat is equally as smothering I'm going to take a cold shower, get my eyes checked and hopefully the library is fully air conditioned! Stupid heatwave. You're a carousel
Sunday, January 25, 2009, 08:56 p.m.You're a wishing well And you light me up When you ring my bell You're a mystery You're from outer space You're every minute of my every day To all you happy campers Out there. Be thankful you get to celebrate CNY, while I'm here all by my lonesome self zzz. No I'm not complaining I'm just whiny. Let me be. I had a rather wonderful 'reunion' dinner (: I cooked! Pacific clams + Abalone + English spinach (is there a chinese version?) and Mushrooms + Beef with the staple rice. Too much food.  I eat my feelings, to satiate the loneliness.. In my tummy :/ Look at my freaky blue black, double :/ So tomorrow when you're out there gambling, eating mandarin oranges, getting angpaos, meeting family and friends etc. I will be slogging away at NZN because it so happens to be Australia day- my boss knows I don't have school so he happily gave me an afternoon shift along with my night shift. Best thing is, there's no double pay for public holidays. I know right? My life is tremendously P.s All that money earned better be worth it. Friday, January 23, 2009, 10:14 p.m. Up-to-date I started off editing my previous post 'till it got so long, I added a new entry. HAHA ingenius Nothing exciting's been going on (not that it had the past three weeks in particular) 'cept that I went for dinner with Weiling in the almost sweltering heat with wedges. The friction between soles nearly killed me, we took about half an hour to walk home (really) slowly :/ And, my blueblack's still on the side of my knee. Very yellow with polka dot purple indeed. It has been a week already. I am rather concerned. I've also managed to not watch finish Bolt and The House Bunny due to uploading issues? Since I'm on to movies I've watched: Money No Enough 2, The curious case of Benjamin Button, Bride Wars, The Hottie and the Nottie, Mall Cop, Igor, Bangkok Dangerous, Sex and the City, Slumdog Millionaire, Letters from Iwo Jima, Sin City, Code Name: The Cleaner, Changeling, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. Doubt is on the waiting list for now! To hoping interesting/intriguing pleasant affairs happen (: -fingers crossed. Wednesday, January 21, 2009, 10:06 p.m. Why Isit that after suffering the pain of a bruise, wounds and all. During the healing process, the bloody scab itches?! Is this some sick joke God thought funny? Making people pick at the guards protecting the wound from opening, making it itch quite badly you scratch around it to relieve yourself. Or some people who enjoy picking or can't stand the itch. End up with an open wound all over again. It will never heal well like that! I like how this scab issue can be related to several things haha. Happy birthday Ning!! :D <3 you (:  Update: My trip to the dentist was very fruitful and I really like her! Can't wait can't wait :D Monday, January 19, 2009, 01:57 p.m. Pervs In trams. I just had to put this up to procrastinate from doing my work but I can't get into details. It sickens me. On the way back from St. Kilda with Hua Jia there was this sick old man (looks Italian but not generalising here) who kept leaning closer. After we got to sit down he was standing in front of us and doing that same thing to this other girl! He took advantage of the situation that in a tram people will inevitably come in close proximity, and he disgustingly committed insolent acts. Thinking girls will be none the wiser? WHAT THE FUCK. Another woman saw and knew what we were talking about, tapped his shoulder and asked him if he'd like to sit down (such a smart move really!). Then he promptly replied that he was getting off the next stop. Gross people of the world. Off to better news (: Our day out stuffing ourselves silly! So so full.. Tummies and hearts.  And I learnt how to open the gas valve for my car, not the switch beside my seat. The lid. Drove her home and got home safely myself :D All with the help of my trusty GPS HAHA Friday, January 16, 2009, 01:50 p.m. Jokes Everything is. Don't take this post seriously. Have I found you? Flightless bird Jealous, weeping Or lost you? American mouth Big pill looming Something's wrong with your mind.
It won't think of me anymore. Was it all a waste of time? I never knew that hell could get so cold. Hooray for holidays :D Wednesday, January 14, 2009, 10:02 a.m. So I was at work yesterday and a brawl started outside the shop. Two huge beefy men punching each other with the sound of metal chairs and table screeching around. Also, a woman desperately screaming "Stop it! Somebody, help!" Mind you, the shop was particularly crowded at that time.. say 12 people? Anyway, we all looked up (me midway through a scoop) and just looked at the scene. For like three minutes? It wasn't about 'till five minutes later did people actually intervene. I remember exclaiming "Why isn't anyone helping?" Not that I would because I'd probably get injured, plus I was working. Helloo, those people waiting to be served didn't have prior commitments! Tsk, all this talk about apathy and nonchalance in Asians. Turns out plain kaypohness is universal. My boss however, had this look of extreme concern on his face. FOR HIS TABLE AND CHAIRS. While I'm on the topic of him- customer service is important he says. So someone buys a bottle of water and as I give the change I sweetly ask "Would you like a straw with that?" My pleasant boss then shrieks at me distastefully like I committed some horrible mistake of throwing icecream at the patron (in a low voice of course) "No need to ask so much, we have other customers waiting." ZZZ Tuesday, January 13, 2009, 01:56 p.m. Jaded You and I. Jade- made either of two minerals, jadeite or nephrite, sometimes green, highly esteemed as an ornamental stone for carvings, jewelry, etc. According to my Mum (and old drama serials), if you take good care of your jade it will give off an iridescent glow. This display of lustrous jade(green)/ purple/ whatever other colour it comes in, is a sign of good fortunes bestowed upon its owner or associated with the lucky stone. So if I'm jaded. Am I a stone that has lost its owner or just not properly taken care of? I have lost my powers :O Wait, so this means I'm a stone? Now I'm confused. But being a stone's good, at least I can be stoned all the time! (Not in the context where people throw stones at me) In life, sometimes you have to drop the people who hinder you from moving forward, who have hurt you and most importantly: don't deserve you. A friend once said while we were in a conversation about someone else "I can't believe he had the guts to do that... She doesn't seem like a very engaging partner also, probably an empty vase." Struck a chord, most definitely. Monday, January 12, 2009, 04:10 p.m. 7 Deadly Sins I am guilty of every one. Not committing but possessing and this is my take on it. Lust, Luxuria: usually thought of as excessive thoughts or desires of a Gluttony, Gula: the over-indulgence and over-consumption of anything to the point of waste. (Which girl's not convicted of this yet?) Greed, Avaritia: sin of excess. Certain acts not applicable to me include disloyalty, deliberate betrayal, treason, theft etc. (I want, I want, I want.. the list goes on) Sloth, Acedia: sin of sadness; despair; laziness or indifference. The unwillingness to act or care. (Have you seen my place or room ever?) Wrath, Ira: inordinate and uncontrolled feelings of hatred and anger. These feelings can manifest as vehement denial of the truth to self and others, impatience with the procedure of law, desire to seek revenge and wishing to do evil or harm to others. (BTDT. You don't want to be on the other side) Envy, Invidia: an insatiable desire, resenting that another person has something they perceive themselves lacking and wish the other person to be deprived of it. (Oh Alessandra Ambrosio) Pride, Superbia: a desire to be more important or attractive than others, failing to give compliments to others though they may be deserving of them and excesive love of self. (Not in the same context but I am so full of it) Always been fascinated with the 7 sins. How true and how disappointing life can be. 
Saturday, January 10, 2009, 04:19 p.m.Couch potato Is what I'm becoming. Anyway I've been reading way too many gossip webbies that only news about hot movies or celebs enthrall me, the rest are just bo-ringg :/ New toy alert! The Polaroid Pogo Instant camera :O  From the press release: Today Polaroid announces the launch of the Polaroid PoGo™ Instant Digital Camera, the first digital camera and instant printer combination available in the U.S. and Europe that is portable enough to take anywhere. With the push of a button, consumers can select from among the digital photos on the camera, crop or edit them and in less than 60 seconds, print full-color, 2×3-inch prints – all with a single device. “This is the digital version of our traditional instant camera, which consumers have loved since the 70s,” says Jon Pollock, vice president and general manager, Digital Imaging. “With this product, Polaroid will bring the magic of instant photography to a whole new generation. It’s what consumers have told us they want – a fun, easy way to use a digital camera to print photos and share their memories instantly.” The Polaroid PoGo™ Instant Digital Camera is the second product in the Polaroid PoGo™ family of products. Like the Polaroid PoGo™ Instant Mobile Printer, which hit store shelves in July 2008, the Polaroid PoGo™ Instant Digital Camera uses the same ZINK Photo Paper™ and ZINK™ Zero Ink™ Printing Technology from ZINK Imaging. ZINK™ Zero Ink™ is an ink-free printing technology which replaces ink cartridges or ribbons with ZINK Photo Paper™ – a composite material that has embedded, heat-activated dye crystals. Before printing, ZINK Photo Paper™ appears white like regular photo paper. Once the pictures are printed, they are immediately dry to the touch, durable and smudge and water resistant. The Polaroid PoGo™ Instant Digital Camera offers a full-feature digital camera with 100 percent inkless printing, 2×3-inch sticky-backed photos with or without fun borders and the advantage of reviewing the captured photos on a three-inch color LCD screen before printing. The instant digital camera measures 4.7-inches wide by 3-inches tall and weighs only 10 ounces. “Unlike traditional instant film, photos from the Polaroid PoGo™ Instant Digital Camera emerge fully developed,” Pollock says. “While many of our most passionate customers tell us ‘shaking’ a Polaroid photo is part of the fun, with any Polaroid photo, the ‘shake’ is totally optional.” The Polaroid PoGo ™ Instant Digital Camera will be available beginning in March 2009 at major retailers for a suggested retail price of $199. Ten-packs of ZINK Photo Paper™, which can be used in both the Polaroid PoGo™ Instant Digital Camera and the Polaroid PoGo™ Instant Mobile Printer, retail for $4.99 and 30-packs for $12.99, and are widely available at national retailers everywhere. [Credits to http://pinkisthenewblog.com] Perfect for my mum who keeps complaining that I never develop any of the pictures we take together. Though I think she'll complain about the size.. Zzz. I'm still more of an old school type of person. Thursday, January 8, 2009, 01:00 p.m. Hero re-sung You are your own hero, I'm not falling apart. I've become stronger I know that but now I feel like I need to find my missing piece. Is it a person? An emotion? You? Tuesday, January 6, 2009, 01:58 p.m. WUR 586 My license plate. Picked up my colt today and Latief accompanied (: Very sweet. I drove home :D Oh-so-exciting. Anyhoo, bits and pieces of my summer in Sgp. I don't have as many pictures as I thought I did.   
Monday, January 5, 2009, 08:10 p.m.Fortune teller Not in my future job prospects certainly. Quite a shitty start to the semester what with leaving my dutyfree goods in the toilet and extortionist cab drivers. I cooked prawns + sliced portobello mushrooms + baby bak choy + thin egg noodles + satay sauce = my version of satay noodles :D Also with 9 contact hours per week, uploading of pictures will have to wait. I have work tomorrow. Right now I'm reading up on AAMI's car insurance which reminds me, I have to cancel the C'wealth's (another extortionist) quote. Bleach awaits. Catherine Frazier (The Women): It feels like someone kicked you in the stomach, feels like your heart stopped beating, feels like that dream you know the one when you are falling and you want so desperately to wake up before you hit the ground but its all out of your control, you cant trust anything anymore, no one is who they say they are, your life is changed forever, and the only thing to come out of the whole ugly experience is no one will be able to break your heart like that again. Sunday, January 4, 2009, 02:54 p.m. My bags are packed I'm not ready to go. Sigh, it doesn't get easier each time when I have to leave. A transit flight, probably missing an hour of my first lecture, multiple errands to run (car, washing machine, groceries, unpacking) and staying alone.. without my loves :/ These two and a half weeks have been much fun. '08 was tough but I got out of it stronger, knowing what I want. '09 had a slight glitch but I can feel my fortunes changing! I'll be uber bored in Melb so I will post pictures soon heh. Friday, January 2, 2009, 03:18 a.m. Happy new year Right back what is wrong, we move along. |
