music: ALL THAT I WANT\the weepies

ah, had a girl's day out with alg for our much needed retail therapy after working every single day on bland grounds. it was great if only we were actually holding some shopping bags! uh huh, we didnt get anything at all. pretty sad case for algae cos we're smack in the middle of town & amazingly, none of the adidas outlets we went to had a pretty easy to obtain flip flops. & most Ion shop keepers are either oddbuns or noobs cos our questions sounded alienic to them. im pretty proud of myself of the zero results ytd actually considering the fact that i was such an impulse buyer. BUT. there was one thing that caught my eye & you know what im talking about, algae! *grabs head and plucks out a few strands of hair* i think alg prob went off to buy her blazer today already. ARG NVM. next month den i buy, but im afraid there might not be anymore XS. it's so hard to find a UK size 6 everywhere. M and L people are lucky. ):

to to to tomorrow! (:

HELLO PEOPLE! it's already the 28th huh! for some, it marks the arrival of your payroll like Alg. for others, it marks the end of a taxing month or for the superstitious, the end of all bad haps. for the pessimist, cheers to another year of aging. idk, personally, the end of the month is always exciting for me cos it feels like a restart button. & a 31st on the calendar is truly special :D this month end esp since im seeing boyf like once a fortnight for his enhanced training. but then we'll treat our saturdays like super precious. been having insomnia these days & i'd better start sleeping more if notttt, i will be snoozing half the time im talking to geeky.
owh. 5.16pm already! 2 more mins to clock out & off to meet JESS the "SHY" girl. SAI. haha. RETAIL THERAPY, MUCH? (:

STREET ATTACK from the FASHION MARTIAN!
the sartorialist (taken from sartorialist.blogspot.com)

What makes Scott Schumann awesome is that he believes the very fashion that we talk about comes from the real world runway- the streets- and it does not only take a Marc Jacobs or a Donna Karan to whip up some hardcore style, we can.

gosh i'm crazy over her shoes. uber urban casual & sufficiently edgy. & her hair. i seriously think that digital perm looks great on people with darker skintone.

comfy and breezy tie-dye dress. great for summer. oh well, it's summer all year round here anyway.

i dunno. this kinda reminds me of boyf. he doesnt exactly dress like that but given the funding, i s'pose he'd invest on something like that. & i love this style of cos. instead of those hair that covers up half your face, small tees & skinny jeans that those cookie-cutter emo boys are wearing. this is something refreshing.

i love her french vibe & the beatles hair. i dont think i can ever pull off a short cut. people with skinny faces should try this hairstyle! long hair is boring already, seriously.

hi mr. sinatra. i love the body hugging suit. suave.

went to meet alg yesterday & it was a great catch up! girl talking and boots strutting. &ya all three of us, including YT, are victims of ns. haha. too bad you "cant" come on saturday or else most of the clique would be there. TSK. shall find a day for off & we'll go for our ladies night! no not clubbing, dork. something elseeeeee. grins. motel pyjama party soon at the weird place you said! WOOH. (:

ps\\ i dont think i feel the same way about you anymore. this is sad but i dont feel very sad about it. this is bad but i dont feel bad about it. (no geeky sweetie, i dont mean you. dont worry, LUB LUBS TO TEKONG! PS I MISS ~~YOUR ARMPITS~~ YOU SO MUCH!)

Les Jeux Sont Faits

i did something terrible today. another imperfection surfacing. well, we all do. but the crap part is you dont even know it and you've been living through with it for all your life. then it comes as a surprise when you realise it. some people just cant accept themselves being flawed & choose to live in denial. so thank god that i actually embrace my flaws. but another shortcoming is my determination for a change. i either take eons to carve it into my head like a thunderbolt scar or let it slip my mind & dont do anything at all till another incident comes by. but im gonna lay my chips down on the fact that i have a faster TAT for my wrongs.. it seems a little stressful, it is. but that's how to deal with me. i'm to be forced, i suppose. im a little tired.

DANG! I HEART PORK PIE HATS! (: so gonna get one!

I LOVE MY COLLEAGUES! & also chin chin, a very considerate colleague from the engineering depmt. they are such a happy bunch & working doesnt seem so bleak. really blessed. thank god.

HFMD.

yup. little nick's got the infamous Hand Foot & Mouth Disease from a fellow classmate. poor boy cant even eat his favorite Otis Spunkmeyer choc muffins so i had to step in to help (ha, just kidding). didnt talk the entire day till i strummed my guitar & he crawled into my bed to watch me play and laughed when i made him strum. children, they're just so refreshing to be around.

still looking moody with lotsa polka dots on his hands and feet.

watched PS I Love You with sis yesterday & gosh, the show is just so- SAD. i cried like so much that my sis looked at me, ridiculed and said: "it's jerry that died, not randy. you know? " nonsense man, my sister. but i gotta say, the show is really quite interesting and if you're a true blue fan of tear jerkers, here you go. watch it, you wont regret it. & gerard butler plays that character so well, like the dead but still around to love & take care of you Irish man. aww, it's a good watch.

(: but then again, with the enhanced batch, schedule changes like nobody's beeswax & he's going in for another 2 week confinement this time. oh whatever to that, it's just a matter of getting used to, im sure. watched 500 Days Of Summer at cine and i gotta say, the show is kinda overrated. it's special, yes, but not great. though Joseph Gordon Levitt is really cute. after show, we went up to the our secret highway signboard spot once again since 8 months ago. (: will see you on 31st & BOOM! NINE MONTHSARY!

today is a relatively good day, i must say. edited at 11.21am//NO! IT'S A FANTABULOUS DAYYYY!! :D
after going for gym so regularly nowadays, i think my body is starting to get used to the runs & i can go on running for 30 mins without feeling like i wanna collapse. by regular, i mean every mondays weds & even yesterday at rachel's gym house & yoga today as well. BURN TUMMY BURN! i did the bow flex too, was worried that i might develop some manly arms but some firming would really help. i dont wanna become a flabby butterfly, given another 5 years.
ANYWAY, YOGA FRIDAY IS HERE AGAIN. (: hopefully they'll set up some Pilate class cos rach says Pilates focuses on the abdominal area & my tummy is the bane of my life, really. alright, im beginning to sound like a paranoid obsessive diet queen. well no im not. i still eat like there's food ration but keeping fit is what im aiming for right now. food would be directly proportional to exercise. YUP.

& the ultimate hype of the day! BOOKOUT DAY IS HERE! :D FRIDAY YAY YAY YAY!

nicholas is coming back more often & im so glad i cld spend more quality time with him. we were building lego trucks & little houses & bridges together. sad part is that he is better than me at this. i knew it, i always sucked at D&T anw. & he wanted to take lumos today with him, back to babysitter's house. my heart skipped a beat cos he always gets to take along whatever he deems like. so i told him that lumos is sick and needs to rest here. i think i kinda underestimated how fast he's growing cos he gave me the ridiculed expression & told me: "he is not alive what." in a matter of fact tone. tsk tsk tsk, smart poopy. but lucky he got sick of playing with lumos & went on to watch MTV Swag. phew. he's just so adorable, i love to smell his head.

& i'll see Mr. Baldy and his green armour. (:

hello world (owh i sound like boyf). okayy, HEY PEOPLE!
had a great weekend? i have no idea why but my weekend seemed so long this time. well no, im not saying it's exactly a good or bad thing. i just took more notice about things around me & when you start paying attention, you start to see that time IS a factor. hmm, if it was the old me, i would probably have made immediate changes or crumbled into a prune. but now, idk. it all just seems- alright. i just dont feel so tensed up & groping for a lifebuoy perpetually. i dont think it's anything to do with being tired, it's more of an evolution of mentality. this is different & i know it can only get better. (:

ANW, i tink i had a pretty fulfilling weekend. went to potong pasir for facial consultance & went out to meet up with syahmi &jack for dinner. turns out syahmi &girlf was 1hr late making me &jack wait like stones with grumbling tum. but it's alright cos the catching up was worth it. had some ayam penyet & went on to somewhere near my house area to play this card game called Bang! which was super fun. (: den went up to Rochelle's house to play again. ended pretty late & that's the only thing i hate, waking up feeling like a dog in the morning. dont wanna do it often.
Sunday was awesome. i think the message was made for me cos it can relate so well. thank You. (: then we had after church movie plans and we even played Risk! i always thought it was a pretty boyish, boring game but it aint. i conquered the whole of North & South America! but Vilon's soldiers are getting strong & closing in on me. we will be continuing the battle next week. haha

after Risk, we went over the PS to watch The Deadly Tsunami. Effects was good, storyline was draggy, comedy effect at the end salvaged the show a little. 2 & a half popcorns for my two cents worth cos the Nat Ho lookalike actor died saving an asshole (just kidding). after the show, me & john went over to their family gathering to find mama low, rach couldnt come along cos of her hectic work. but it turns out to be a really fun gathering. there was karaoke and very hip aunties with catered food & yummy sago+honeydew dessert. i almost got to sing on stage but the waiting list was too long so we went off with aunts&uncles to eat claypot soy sauce chicken & herbal soup @ kovan. DELICIOUS! & den home sweet home. boyf only called at 11pm cos training ended late. his throat sounded like a wreck on the phone & i've never heard him so tired before. ): must be truly depressing & taxing in there, love. BUT HEY, STAY STRONG! FRIDAY'S COMING REAL SOON & I MADE SOMETHING FOR YOU! (:

was doing dispatching & a very adorable colleague just randomly told me Terayama means Do You Know? in southern tamil language. & that's the reason why he smiles excessively whenever he sees my employee pass. thanks for letting me know, shek. HAHA, your smile is really infectious. (:

MY PERSONAL SPACEEEEEEEE. (all tidy didy & neat.) -a sneak preview for those who's complained abt not seeing my new room yet. here you go.

did the sheets, washed the pillow covers, wiped the table and the bed frame. was practising some chords too so pardon mary kate's intrusion. went on with some vacuuming, mopping and window wiping

here's all the clothes i own (& like a couple more in the wash). nah, i dont own a wardrobe. i think it's simple & easy with the rags on the racks yup. i swear it's damn taxing to pack this area cos i have soooo many freaking clothes that needs FOLDING. well this pretty much sums up my little fashion zone. oh it'll expand, no worries.

right. here's the recreational area. dont be fooled by how simple it looks. the fan was washed. TV was pulled out to mop the back. every single item on the shelf is taken down so i can thoroughly wipe the surface. oh & you see the white thing under the TV shelf? well it's called Weighing Machine & i hate him cos he says im 44kg.

& then i rest my case. this will need some getting use to, really.

ps\\
he's been looking like this all day. TSK whaddaya mean he always looks like that? he looks a tad gloomier alright. shoutout to his dad. WE MISS YA.

now that muscle pimples is turning into muscle bombs in camp, i got a couple of things to clear on my list too. future plans have more or less settled. so now is basically more on the present tasks i have yet to accomplish.

got to start practising for my guitar assignment already. dont wanna be lazing off when i finally have the chance to put my passion into action. gotta get all my chords for the hymns right so hopefully i can play for LCM every sunday!

i got to start packing my room to make it more cosy and neat cos im gonna be spending more time at home now. (speaking of which, I HVNT DONE MY LAUNDRY!) gotta pay a visit to IKEA soon. maybe this saturday with moky. (:

at workplace now and i skipped yoga today cos im feeling sick once again. i hate it ,really. cos the last illness i had was a really bad one. it's a freaking flu & cough that lasted for 2 weeks! more lipton tea, miki, more! ):

oh ya! mama low's gonna bring me for my facial treatment tmr! not that i have a rotting face but these pimples have been residing on my face for eons. hopefully i can say hi to flawless complexion SOON.

watching Gossip Girl Season Three now! ED WESTWICK EST GORGEOUSSS OR WHAT!

gosh, this has been a really trying week. i keep dozing off at work cos my insomnia marathon is coming back to me again. like i keep having these sudden jolt of awakeness & it's hard to sleep back after. thank god my workload is not heavy at all or i might have collapsed before 5.18pm.

& sweetie keep using "Lumos!" on his new wand made by Nokia instead of Mr. Ollivander himself. haha. so i cant really sleep at night. but im glad he's got a wand already. you wouldnt wanna be running into dementors or giant spiders in the tekong forest at night, do you now? (: oh well. apparently heard some good news that due to Deepavali, NS men who need to enlist in early october, you get to come out earlier than you think! it was 2 weeks but now you guys get to come out in 10 days time! for a day only, BUT STILL SPLENDID!

job wise, we have YOGA FRIDAYS today! cant wait for it cos i really need to relax my body a little. feel so tensed up. NEED TO LET MY BODY BREATHE. & the yogi kinda cracks me up with his serene but funky accent. 1 more hr away!

GREETINGS EARTHLINGS.
watched Time Traveller's Wife with boyf yesterday & i feel that it is kinda overrated. all the hype about it being the most romantically captivating film this year is a little dissapointing, but it did make me tear a little. sucker for tearjerkers, i am. but nothing beats A Walk To Remember, so far.
been feeling really fatique nowadays, just cant seem to liven up. i reckon not having enough sleep really kills. my immediate wish now is to eat that packet of Korean Kimchi Maggie Mee in my drawer and go to sleep till 5.18pm den clock out & anticipate Wild Wild Wet tmr!! (: but that wish will only be fulfilled in another 7 hrs from now.
meanwhile,
been thinking up on this checklist that i want to accomplish this year cos you know how they always say it, have a VISION.
& soon enough, boyf's gonna be tekong-ing with the rest of the botaks (arif & hanting too) with mud and spiders alongside. so i guess it means that i gotta start preparing for his farewell & sth else. yep.
& momok finally found a stable job so we can hang out after work to go eat tauhuay or sth at bugis! (:

so i finally went to the zoo on saturday! well technically, it aint really my first time cos i went once when i was, what, 6 yrs old? but how much can you remember then &now right. for those of you who remembered, last saturday was not really welcomed by the sun but we were happy too cos sun can get really frustrating at times. & with an umbrella & a determined spirit, we walked into the animal kingdom & was first greeted by adorable otters! GOSH, they are really super super cute ttm & i swear if it was domestic, i would keep one myself.

alright, so randy isnt the best photographer in the world but this was the best & only shot we have.

there's a couple of september babies to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOOOOOOOO!

first off, my partner in crime for gossips and bingeing, JEANETTE aka AH GIRL in office. super noisy & feed me like i never eat for 1564131561 years.

John, randy's brother. looking never happier at another year grown, another year walked with Him. (:

HEY SEXIES!
just came back from thailand ytd morning & was damn tired from the long flight and heavy baggies. we brought back 30 kg of checked-in baggages & godknowshow much we were carrying on hand.
i gotta say this trip has its ups and downs but was definitely fun with the food and RAD ASS SHOPPING MADNESS!! :D
boyf was like bargaining non-stop for everyone cos he was best at it, even for tuk-tuks & cabs & every other bombaalaas. i salute you for those saliva wars you had. haha
& i gotta say the happiest thing i set my eyes on the first day of our trip was our gorgeous guesthouse at this street in Saladaeng.
baan saladaeng, a designer guesthouse in silom. damn near patphong (but we din set foot there. dangerous district).

the room rates are really reasonable & the theme-based designs are unique cos there is no repeated design for each room. we got the black&white room! super cosy & the ambience is damn nice. new age & the lightings are all great. service is even more awesome with all the super friendly hoteliers. i miss this place already.
kk & girlf got the modern oriental room which looks a bit red & well traditional lookin. i know im like doing a hotel review but i swear this is really Bangkok's best kept secret hidden in the small streets of Silom. sure to stay there again if i go. (:
& for the shopping shizz, people. Chatuchak, MBK, Platinum, Khao San Road& Suan Lom Night Market are not to be missed.
will update the pics soonnnnn.
meanwhile, happy tuesday back to work!

always been closing myself in and not realising how much i have missed out. finally after all these years, i've opened my wide eyes and see clearly what im falling short at & trying to mend those pieces that i've chuck away. but it's not all that easy now is it? especially since im more than imperfection & there's so much to change. after many long talks, i still felt a surge of being trapped in this timeless capsule that keeps playing the negativity on repeat. i dont wanna keep being like this. i want all moments of my life to be those that i make an effort in harvesting it to be worthwhile.
&i'll keep trying.
i am weak.

day four in office life. i have a gut feeling inside me that's telling me i might really be blogging every single weekday till fab feb next year. i just did 500 files today and has been slacking since 10am. anyway, as you can see on the picture above, this is what happens everyday. jeanette will conveniently pass snacks and sweet treats from her desk next door over the wall. today's is Lindt Fondente Cereali and Limone chocies. (: it's not even one week and my colleagues are calling me food monster already. i just dont wanna be a tummy slug (i dunno what's a tummy slug but i just feel like one now. ugh)

[jukebox track>>> emotions- destiny's child]

PEOPLE! say hi to lumos, my pet bulldog that me and rands has adopted from Ikea! :D it's bought by boyf to accompany me when he is gone to serve the nation in october. ): i officially name 7th October as Sucky Day. raise your hand and say AYE! if you are enlisting that day & think it stinks too.
anyway, i guess you can see how slack my office life can get. blogging like every single day now and watching videos. im munching on durian biscuits and jacob's veggie cookies with a cup of hot milo while im typing all these. haha. (there's still OCK's curry puffs waiting in line) anyway, i had this big issue ytd cos hexin told me i did something terribly wrong about the tax invoice documents but when i came back today, Jennifer from the finance dept din scold me but only pat my back and said it wasnt a big deal, just some mix up in the order. ah, THANK GOD! (: i was like shivering when i was going to the lift with the tax files cos finance dept is known to be the more fearsome when it comes to scoldings. oh well, thank god once again.

i realised that life is going on a slower pace now with the new job. im not too sure if it's a good or bad thing, but i reckon there must be some sort of meaning like time for me to take a rest, space or time to think about my life thus far. i reckon i definitely need a higher education so i dont think i will be working in this company after my 6 months contract.

anyway, loveliness, HAPPY SEVENTH MONTHSARY!! :D

your bunny, xoxo. (:

Slackarophobia. (//fear of slacking)

Well, first day at Goodrich Sales&Marketing Depmt.
Jeanette, my church mate, is literally sitting next door to me & I think the awesomest thing so far is that I have a really huge workdesk to myself. But there is absolutely no access to web messaging at all and I mean ebud, iloveim and even cbox! Hotmail too as I cant send mails. but that’s not a problem cos I put work environment top of the list and if it works den everything else can be tolerated. (:
I did what little of the dispatching, filing &copying work that my boss Cheryl left me & im back to my desk to decompose again.
Oh well, I shall go read Deathly Hallows now so paperboy can get it right after his Half Blood Prince.
Damn considerate rightttt your girlf. Yea I know. (:

Oh well. Yup.

i gotta make it clear that it's not the people here that arent good.
it's just me, i cant stand this sort of work environment.
that said, goodbye QA-ians of Kemin. it has been a rewarding 5 months. (:
you guys might even be the ones that help me decide that science isnt really my passion (no pun intended). (:

dear liyan esp, for making the lab still stayable when faggot maggot talks too much bullshit.
ah, it is kinda sad though i dont really like working here. odd huh, us humans.

another phase of my life ending here. my lab life in a nutshell; not desirable i must say.

next please! Goodrich, here i come!

[jukebox track>>> leaving- jesse mccartney]

“BOMBASTICALLY EXCITED!”

hello there, fellow freakazoids!
there's so many things to be happy for this month and i want to share with all of you like Sharity Elephant does!
this sunday, im going to become a child of god alongside my 5o over brothers and sisters from Life Church! Another family, i have! i swear it's something to be so grateful for because you can never have enough love here and a sense of identity is the only thing left to fulfil. (im really glad momok is coming too. it means alot to me.)
& on monday, im starting work at my friend's company. though pay aint as tantalising as my previous lab-ass job, but i think i'll love this change in environment (the people, ESP!) and my friend's sitting next to me only, haha. but the catch is i gotta wake at 5.30am & crumble with a dislocated jaw cos i'll probably yawn like no tomorrow. oh well, no problems there, i got my iPood and an hour long busride to snooze off to. (:
& YES, nothing beats the excitement of traveling!
SAWADEEKAP, BANGKOK. next friday, man. is it fast or what. i got the money, baggages and gears ready. now all we need is an itinerary. MAO MAO, travel guide? oh & our travelmates kk &girlf is like MIA, hope they're all set and ready too! (:
finally, i think things at home are getting a little better too. maybe i should put in more effort. mm, i think it's just me.
ANYHOOZERS, im still contemplating the degree that i should pursue. i know i wont just stop at a diploma but deg is something so headaching. ARG. should i still continue this science track? should i take a risk and do something fun instead of safe? ohhhh, i wish i had NS too. (all this brainwrecking would be void)

but that aside, IM STILL HAPPY! (:

counting my blessings.

(:

BASK IN YOUR LIFE; CELEBRATE THE PRESENT.

PEOPLE, HI AGAIN. (:

most people dont understand that the only thing stopping them from happiness, is in fact themselves.
i know it sounds like a very simple idea, but grasping it is so damn hard; for me at least. but being a COG, you can live your life to an eternity of joy. im glad im restoring that dignity.i am not upset with the people who disappointed me, i am not brought down by those who convict me, i am not over-reacting to things i think too deep into. because i believe, that come what may, i'm in His itinerary. and in this itinerary, it is for the common good, be it for my own or the people around me. (:

(thank you for being there to remind me, armpits & bro. and im thankful for the Sundays that helps rest my heavy soul.)

–noun
1. a person who habitually sees or anticipates the worst or is disposed to be gloomy
2. an adherent of the doctrine of pessimism

people usually dont associate me with this word because i show too much smile and laughter as a facade. i dont blame anyone for it.
i can get royally annoyed when people use this on me because i would never believe myself to be less of a cheerbug than i show that i am.
but the truth is, i am and i dwell alot in negative thoughts. worst of all, half the time i dont realise it.

HOLA, MY NOLA.
life in a one-liner? THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM.
i dunno, never believe that life can be that stagnant or smoothsailing. or maybe i've seeing too much of the negatives.
anyway been down with the sickness. H1n1, i thought. but i didnt have any fever. then this jack suddenly popped out some infectious mononucleosis that he probably passed to me and syahmi cos we shared the same sandwich. turns out i dont have it (i think. since i have no adverse reactions after taking in my antibiotics)
it's the FLU SEASON, GUYS. take care pleaseeeeeeee.
(& THANK YOU GEEKY, AUNTIE AND UNCLE LOW FOR TAKING CARE OF ME WHEN IM SICK LIKE SHITTT. YOU GUYS FEEL LIKE FAMILY.)

i think this picture is kinda hilarious. marsha trying to be sexy, me acting like some triad leader and azhar doing the WE WANT YOU thing in the american propagandas. oh well, that's us.

Write a reflective composition of not over 350 words on "THE BEST I EVER HAD".

there is no amount of THANK YOUs that i can say for having you in my life. i was always lost, rebellious, stubborn (still am) and egoistic in my own way. i was not a great person or the best girlfriend in the world. i lived in a mad world of broken timelines and family. but you stood by all these ugly sides of me and shouldered all my wilful actions and weird decisions. i've took a few wrong turns and you guided me back, slowly but still, progressively towards a REAL happier life (not build on labels or sociality). i may get violent with you like slapping you a little (okay quite a couple of times) for fun sometimes or get easily agitated at your qualms but i swear i never meant for any of those to become a barrier between us. we've had our ups and downs, me not being able to be sensitive enough cos my past relationships kinda numb that switch of mine but you switched it on for me. and now im too sensitive and you try to shimmer your rage and cheer me up ( NUTELLA KISSES!). you being easily angry with me and me not being able to see beyond your angry words but broken heart. the two times i lied to you, the two times you mentioned the forbidden verbs. we're not perfect, no relationships are. but we're learning to mend it with our faith. I know we'll go on forever if we learn to make things better this way. No one can make me super angry and super happy like you, no one has shared more of my burdens and get more affected than me like you, no one can ever sing so beautifully like you (the melodyless Deep and Meaningless. haha) and no one has nicer curly wurlys that i wanna lay my fatface onto like yours (OUCH). there is no place i'd rather be than snuggling in your heart . i dont remember why i found you cute when i first saw you in James's DOTA class but im glad i did. I dont remember why i chose to just slow down my steps and talk to you first at esplanade after high tea but im glad i did. i dunno why i chose to kiss your lips instead of your forehead at the balcony but im glad i did. i dunno why He led me to you at first, but now im really glad He did. i guess God really works in mysterious ways. really really.

my new found reason of everything to be joyful for. through my falls, my weaknesses and my temper, you were there to get angry and teach me to be that person that i thought i was but i wasnt. you came by and light up my path for me. my guide, my breath of fresh air, my pillar and my hope and all my wonders, you are part of it all and always will be. LUB EUU DIP DIPZXZX, LOW CHEN LONG.

EPIPHANY//

PEOPLE! i know that at the rate im blogging, the nano percentage of viewers are probably hopping elsewhere already. but it doesnt matter, im saving you guys the trouble of reading about redundant stuff alright. been out and about lately and it really gets me so lethargic looking if you ever spot me hovering around (esp on the train where i dose off every 5 seconds in the morning). it's really woah how my lifestyle can change so much within just like 2 months. i guess it's more or less the time for this epiphany. i may not be half the person i used to be, but this half sure compensates for alot that i've left behind. im actually going to church again and even attending cell group (dont roll your eyes, momok!). yea seemingly different, but i like how things are going nowadays so yea. though everyone is saying im pulling some disappearing act. AM NOT! just caught up with the new lab job and weekends with Him. anyway, im praying alot these days. about every little thing and every detail. it keeps me going and i dont have to feel any sense of stress or tension that i get from man to man interaction. i think having faith is something you cannot live without. no offence, skeptics. (:

suppose to have this awesome 400m race with boyfriend today but i think he kinda backed out cos he reckons he wont win giving me a 200m startoff. (haha) so here i am leeching onto his net and typing all these crap.

anyway, this is the sweetest thing ever penned down for me ( in a geek kind of way):

back from island life.

hello all! finally back from the sunny island of tioman. despite the charred shoulders, mosquito bumps and a razorback tanline, i gotta say the trip was awesome! never actually been to snorkelling and was terrified as hell before the dip but boy, it was nothing even close to scary. and i finally had the experience of a jetty jump! also, finally had a taste of boyfriend's so-called legendary ramly burgers. i ate a total of 5 beef specials, i think. the seafood, needless to say, is fresh and yummy just by steaming.

the most energetic ones on day one. chookit and estee too.
the rest are simply snoring behind and awaiting the food.

the bunch of nine funky people.

led by our totally adorable tour guide. (:

Snorkelling. At first was pissing my pants when geeky told me the speedboat will stop in the middle of the big sea and ask us to jump off from there to swim. but turns out, it was the most enjoyable time i had.

the two best swimmers with their very rad-looking snorkelling gear.

the beautiful sundown everyday.

the orgasmic seafood. the bill, though, wasnt that good to stomach. ha

satisfied tummies? not. off to get more ramlys.

night events. poker and alcohols.

the last day was pretty sad cos it marks the fact that it's time to be back to stress and urban life. but still.

bye tioman, for now. we'll be back again fo' sure yo!

it's odd how meeting up is never enough. this honeymoon is really longlasting, man!
the quarelling streak was really draining and im so glad we passed the hurdle for now.

so just take my hand and we'll walk this through.
love you, always. :)

LO AND BEHOLD.

ya ya ya, i know it's getting so boring here already and before din starts with his whole bunch of reasons why i aint updating, here goes. whole bunch been happening recently but the gist is im catching up with the life i left behind, i guess. after the endless procrastination, i got myself a pretty well-paid roadshow job and it's starting next tuesday. going back to church, different place but same faith and less hostility. more consistency and determination with house chores. magical on boyfriend side, not so perfect at minute intervals but perfect leaves no space to grow right, so yea. :D met up with friends i haven seen for so long. momok, pioneer people, jason, wilson, wong jun ming (algae and yt! heard ya'll had to leave early so we missed each other there. dang.) keeping up with my dental appointments cos uncle's bugging me about getting rid of the grids as soon. but im not so hoping for it to come out asap because his purpose of rushing comes with a dilemma-my future endeavour. this is the not so happy part of my life so far. but till any decision is made, life's RAD.

anyway, really tired after the lepaking with the usual just now.
so till i leech onto someone else's net again.
goodnight socks, sweet dreams underpants.

[jukebox track>>> that's amore- dean martin]

stop creeping up on me, din.
but this was a nice snap of randomness. haha

i was up early one morning around 4 am cos i just couldnt get to sleep.
started pacing around the house and got to the music player in the hall where there was a rack of discs behind it so i thought, what the heck, just check out what we've been listening to.
nat king cole, freddy fenders, dean martin, simon and garfunkel, yada yada.
(in between, there were some techno and Scatman discs. who else but my psychedelic sis huh.)
i placed dean martin on and the first song it played- There Goes My Heart.
then i remembered how Emma always serenaded this when i was young, like really young. and we even danced to it while im standing on the bed (cos i was too short. okayy, not like im any taller now. shut.) and i felt a gust of desolation.
all this while i thought she's the one neglecting but what do you know? a sudden epiphany.
i text her and somehow i got to sleep like a pig that morning.
she replied saying she really misses me.
then come home, mom.

anyway, this is really an into-your-heart song originally sung by Nat King Cole. not many people like oldies but still, sharing with you guys. Just for fun. Enjoy.

M, ready to sprint for blood bags.

nana came over with delicious ramlys and carrot cake.
we got to play Jenga that she found at the top of my shelf.
but it wasnt jenga we played, really.

then we talked and talked and talked and talked... (till fade).

you know how most people spend most of their time contemplating about things that is not going to happen and when they get a wake-up call, they lose some things around them that truly matter. i've had my fair share of experience on that and really, you wish you never woke up because you realise what you are losing is bigger than how much your heart can handle.
and the worse part is when we are capable of telling right from wrong yet we tend to move to the dimmer side of decisions. now, that's a joke.

awesome concert. you dont see any signboards, teeny boppers or whatsoever.
everyone is just putting their hands up, singing along and swaying their bodies.
damn cool. it was like some gospel congregation. someone should hold up their lighter.
the band was cool with 3 saxophones.
sorry to inform you that toca was really hard to notice cos the saxophone men were stealing the show, yt. haha. but he brought the gnome tho.

Who Needs Shelter.
never heard this song before but when he sung it with toca, was wow-ed.
and i love the lyrics.

i'm yours is always the crowd pleaser.
especially when there is more interaction with the audience.
remixed with Bob Marley's Three Little Birds.
not one single person in the stadium wasnt singing along with their hands up clapping.

you and i both.
goosebumps cos he sounded if anything, better, unplugged than recording.

i think Mr. Curiosity remixed w/ Sleeping To Dream was the best performance of the day.
it was the only song that he played solely with his voice and guitar which was stellar.
he freaking pulled a Josh Groban at the ending with an opera voice alright.
the crowd was kinda shocked. layla was like shrilling. LOL.
i would too, but my damn throat. so i just put my hands up and dance. haha

LAYLA! my new found friend.
it's odd how we talked like non-stop the moment we meet up at the train station. haha.
BUT ANYWAY. THANK YOU FOR THIS EXPERIENCE. i swear i'll never forget.

there's been so many new things happening nowadays.
like getting attached and hating the east side, my friend finally gave birth, my sister maybe having a second baby, my mom finishing up with the adoption papers, my best friend getting attached to some mad dude called Levan Wee (oh my god, i hope you dont read this. haha kidding ah), getting closer to people that i neglected and LBP relapse in public.

tmr's gonna be a long day.
finally going to alg's house and arab street at night for some gathering.
damn it's 3 am now and im damn hungry.
momok, momok? oh no, i think she just fell asleep. ha

mok's mom was raving about how hot utt was and i was like, yea man!
we were both ogling at him while momok is terribly disturbed at one corner. HAHA

till my net bills are paid.
peace everyone.

HE'S COMING!!!

who?
JASON MRAZ, EVERYBODY!!!
coming to you live on 5th March at the Indoor Stadium.
FINALLAYYYY.
thank god, DY told me on our jamming session on saturday.

it would be sad to watch such a brilliant live performance with people who cant appreciate.
so jawad is going with me and we have the money. but the thing is, how are we gonna get the tix?
it's sold out already. in 7 days. wat the fuck.

saddest thing is arif even planned a sneak-in floor plan for us to buy $78 tix but get to the $145 seatings.

DY. im counting on you now. ebay are blood sucking bastards.
300 per ticket. SIAO.

[jukebox track >>> jumper- third eye blind]

BE a YES MAN.
went down to town with jason to makan and slack while waiting for alg to finish work at 6pm.
Lido cinema is really buang so we decided to head over to cine, but guess who we saw on the way!

turns out cine had no Yes Man, only got Ip Man. -_-
thank god we met them or wasted trip to cine.
slacking and wondering where else to watch Yes Man. this is suppose to be artistic.
uhh moshi, i tot we were all suppose to look at the Lucky Plaza signboard?

people people people.
i know my braces very distracting but can you please look into my eyes when you talk to me. HUH MILO.
the high rate of couples on the streets made the 4 of us pretty depressed.
us single breakfast club people decided, maybe we should look at the people around us.
moshi, we are meant to be. LOL

we parted so i can catch my 4.45 movie slot.
wooh. Yes Man is really an awesome film and im glad me and jason made a longer route to Marina Square than just settle for cine.
all Jim Carrey films are definitely worth a watch. people who haven watch it, WATCH IT.
WATCH THIS.

my favourite part. damn nice.
Jim Carrey can sing ya'll!and even better than the original singer.
in case you're wondering, the song is Jumper by Third Eye Blind.

Randomness as follow.

lim yu ting the mountain turtle.
never eat ice cream crepe before so we shared my hard earned money to buy a $5.50 strawberry vanilla crepe that taste like a 1 dollar dessert.
anyway, the new JP is really pretty big now. but the shops dont appeal, really.
after which, go shisha and drinking with marsha, jawad and rahim.
me and rahim shared 2 bottles of Jim. bad idea.

Ayam Percek.
on a beautiful tuesday evening, i received a call from nahnah.
and all three of us ended up here at 10pm.

went to get supper from the pasar malam and nahnah recommended this chicken wing thing.

nahnah: trust me. the ayam percek fucking nice. go buy.
me: okay. wat's it called again?
nahnah: ayam percek.
walked to the ramly burger stall...
me: (to stall tender) can i have one ayam pecek?
stall tender: (stunned)
nahnah and momok laughing.
me: what?
nahnah: (to momok) she just ordered chicken vagina.
me: you told me it's ayam pecek what.
nahnah: percek, babe. you made it sound like pepek.
stall tender: (laughing)
ya great. thanks.

so how, momok.
do u think the nasi lemak lives up to its name? or am i right?

RETURNED.
yes i am my beloveds.
especially momok. i tot i told you im going for a week what.
but heck, come to my house tmr if you miss me! haha
so where have i been?
well, if you haven guessed den i dont reckon you know me well enough.
AND NO, I AM NOT FROM BATAM. siao ah.

looking at the evening sky from another country.

attempting to walk on the clouds.
okayyy. i was suntanning and the sun fried my brains and so the pics are such.
main reason wasnt to tan tho.
was to see my baby brother. not that i am strongly against or anything and she is so hellbent on getting him so suit yourself.
we are still deciding on the name tho. it is a real tie between Nate and Ryan.
you guys can give suggestions too! and please, constructive ones.
i forgot who was it who told me to name him Ang Mo Kio cos my mom's surname is Ang.
eat some shit. issit you, james?! or algae huh? TSK

and i got new specs. FINALLY.
my degree increased to 700 now. but hey, i saw the news a few days back and they said some clinics are offering lasik at 800 plus per eye. so hope is still there.
the pimples on my face tho, has lesser hope of recovery.

Cockroaches, BeanCurd and Chicken Rice.

All Star Attitude.
that's what the wall wrote but that's not what we are expressing.
okay. this is like a super overdued pic of the jamming people outing without any jamming equipments. ironic but yea.
we did went to several music stores to upgrade our things.
and at the end of the day, like YT said, we bought TEN GUITAR... picks and some wiring stuff for DY's amps.
doesnt matter la. coolest shit is we get to all hang out with DY(my tak malu kaki, dont deny it. haha) and Kambing (TGM).
btw, have you guys watched Twilight yet?! please say no. my one week trip i was looking for the movie but indonesia dont seem to sell the pirated VCD for it yet. LOL
so lemme noe. if not, i just put the low quality one into my ipod ah.
uhh, just tag on the board. my fone is pending for repair, INDEFINITELY. haha
that goes out to everyone too. wanna contact, use the board or offline IM, aight? thanks.

till then.

[jukebox track>>> because of you (acoustic)- neyo]

The Filthy Youths.

hello, fellow GG lovers.
by now you should have known, the three male frontrunners of the show.
now, at first look, you would naturally focus on Nate Archibald, the obvious goodlooker.
(and for some reason, he looks like david cook in this pic)
Or probably Dan who is so imprudently cute.
but after watching several episodes, i am more than sure you would be ultimately charmed by Chuck.

Chuck Bass played by Ed Westwick.
apparently he is an englishman in real life and has a really sexy british accent.
no wonder he speaks differently from the rest in the show.
and on top of that? he sings!

yes. lead singer of the rock band The Filthy Youth.
he sings well too!
check this out.

blimey, you're rad.

[jukebox track>>> it's over- jesse mccartney]

Before it gets rusty.
like francis says: SOSDD, people.

Hello STA.
since i am free from the clutches and chains of FYP.
it is time to lend a hand for those in need.

Grima Wormtongue's installation project.
Gula gula very nicely made by momok.
life size summore.
New media is fun and sometimes i wonder why i never took that.
but then emma's indignant face flashed before me and it came clear.

although SAS peeps maybe a little queer like me, but are cool too.
loaves of Thermodynamics for this week: Gibb’s energy.
killer equation that francis says is only a tool.
Lucky there are occasional getaways and jamming.
And thankful for people like Azhar.
cheers.

[ jukebox track>>> light on- david cook ]

so now that the burden is off and we are left with less than two weeks before holidays,
can i get a hallelujah?okay. my face is too "hot" to handle so i censored it. LOL
supposed formal cosplay pic. yt and arif do not understand what cosplay means, as u can see.
why did i do the robot? shoot me down please. ugh

it is G302.
must show some evidence that we have been there and done that.
ah shit la. forgot to take full FYP team portrait before we dismiss.
limyuting wearing skirt. you might want to print this out and laminate it, YT.

milo and ginette. (:

The Cemetary Trip.
as the title suggests.
we went to LCK in syahmi's van on Sunday. wat nonsense.
thanks to jack's smart idea to do something interesting.
very good. in the end you are the one that kena the stop-signal man.
the muslim cemetary was pitch dark and god knows what will pop out in front of you.
so we headed to the chinese one instead. didnt see or felt anything. was spooked out tho.

very rare pic of the three so here you have it.
my occasional after ten people.

2008-11-30T13:17:00.000+08:00

[jukebox tracks>>> decode(acoustic version)- paramore]

What Went Wrong?

okay.
first off, i wanna say sorry to jason. for the hair incident.
i admit fully that it is my fault to laugh. an ultimately jackass thing to do.
i dont know if what i heard is true (was quite pissed at first) but it really is saddening to hear that cos i dont think i should be taking the blame full blast. but then you may mean it in a joking way, i dont know.
and then apologies for your idea of after-presentation plans. i really didnt know that was what you had in mind.
next, girls. you two have a WHOLE BUNCH of misunderstandings after hearing two sides of the story.
here is my two cents worth. i am really not sure what is the real side of the story for different episodes ah.
some parts i agree, some parts im not sure cos my brain dont remember much of the past accounts (50% cerebrum) so all i do is "orh orh" or "mm mm".
on some parts, i do think that it is natural that when the whole team dont get the same grade, upsets may arise and i admit i was one of them. like duh ah, but i am not that affected. james syndrome.
but on some parts i also agree that one may be too harsh on another person.
but everyone has different ways to view things and different principles.
when these values clashes and you dont resolve it, tiffs break out.
some may think doing something is important while others may see less importance in it.
one may focus more on one thing while the other, another.
but to sum it up...
one is unintentionally stern, one is over sensitive.
so you two are still at an unstable emotional stage. just calm yourselves down first.
no confrontation, but a non belligerent talk.
and finally to WONG JUN MING. SOS. where are you hiding huh? LOL

i thought when FYP is over, joy and freedom follows.
but that is not exactly the case now, is it?
cant spend a day without hearing someone being upset.
if only disputes can all be barfed out like bile.

after listening to DY's intro to decode, the song keeps ringing in my head.
"how can i decide what's right when you're clouding up my mind."
damn nice. i tink acoustic version like nicer ah. haha

2008-11-23T21:10:00.000+08:00

Sunday Destress Sessions.

went to a coffee house with an old old old old friend last sunday.
like i told him, i prefer meeting people i rarely see once in awhile.
fresh faces aids in destressing, really.
because they do not know anything about you for a long while and there will be less possibility of judgement. feels like less of a burden during conversation.
you can talk about anything and there wont be someone who will remind you of your school grades or how far you are from what you want to be.

anyway Raffles Place TCC has thumbs up ambience. guys thinking of dating that special someone, this is an ideal spot.

Lee Can Cook.
oh yes she can, people.
presenting to you her best dish for Home Econs back in 2004.
BUTTER FRIED RICE!
look at her professional chopping skills. mmm.
it suddenly dawned on me. DID YOU WASH YOUR HANDS BEFORE ALL THESE? anyway, here are the ingredients needed.
Spring uhhnions, lapcheongs (eew, reminds me of eew) and garlics.
the very important seasonings. they can save a disaster. LOL
salt, sesame oil, soya sauce and the very expensive $4.50 SCS butter.
(seriously wtf. $4.50 is damn ex. last time it used to be like 1 buck.)
i can see the shock in butterball's eyes when marie announced the price. HAHA
then just put them in. jumble and tumble a little.
and...
voila. a steamy bowl of butter fried rice with sausage slices.
tasted pretty nice. had it over dinner and praises from the parents. yum.

oh yes. if you haven seen my current boyfriend, this is my betrothed.
Look at my darling, Jasper.
cute, handsome, always there when i need him and never complains when i get grumpy.

i love you, jaspykins. dont look so victimised! haha

sushi time after school.
i LOVE sashimi and kikkoman sauce.
so appetizing and it is never enough.
last time only 60cents, now 90 cents.
everything just rises. why doesnt my GPA rise too?
(nevermind. i know the reason. shut.)

note to self//
alamak. everyone around me finished with their self composition already.
die die. i feel the motivation for song writing depleting.
i need inspiration. but where to find it?
anyway people, check out momok's two self composed song on her blog.
she did a good job on it. i think she deserves to be applauded.

[ jukebox track>>> what you did- replug final ]

awaken your auditory pathway, peeps.
(pics ripped from true-and-through.blogspot)

a great performance in TRCC studio.
Replug: An Acoustic Night performance.
man, RP's really got lotsa talents.
personally, the more memorable ones were Mercy, The Remedy and The Ending which was a replug original production. Perfect curtain call for the show.
the female singer sounded like Amy Lee from Evanescence.

our reason to be there. kambing and alif.
playing Billie Jean cover together. DAMN NICE.
the percussion solo was a killer too.

heart of the band.

and there came our turn to play.

3/5 of us.
no i aint the drummer, though it's freaking awesome.
i can kinda play Yellow now, i think.
im still sticking loyal to vocals and a teeny bit of my measly guitar skills.
leave the drums to the professionals, ya?

introducing the pro?
yes. the pro of masquerading skills.
lo and behold, queen macam faham with the super nova drum set.
not bad ah, quite handsome in this pic. LOL

alright. here's the real pro-in-the-making.
arif bass, ya'll.
he cornrows his armpit hair and macam faham french alot.
(what Amicelli. NONSENSE. haha)
but his guitar and drums good ah.

DY. arif's friend.
friendly owner of all our jamming equipments for the day.
she is awesome with the drums too.
thanks for letting us play. (:

ah T being animal loving.
considering her bacterial paranoia and fluffy-phobia, this is a rare sight indeed.
but seriously, the kitten is super cute to the core.

spotted: meow meow being drumstick-attacked by Chuck Bass.
careful, upper east siders.

EGGTRAY WALLS.
apparently, eggtrays reduce noise amplification.
so you can drum and strum your electric git like no bumwala's beeswax.

THE END OF A EARDRUM BURSTINGLY RAD DAY.

keep plucking that tune.
till then.

"alone i stand. plastered to the floor."

2008-11-12T12:42:00.002+08:00

i was asking my mom if uncle tjo was always this serious and strict.
and she told me this story about him when he was my age.
i find it pretty hilarious ah.
uncle tjo's chinese name is actually tjo tien.
in hokkien, tjo tien also means "fixing electricity".
there was this once where he went to visit my aunt at Medan.
uncle tjo: *knocked on the door*
aunt: ya?
uncle tjo: tjo tien ah! (im tjo tien!)
aunt: huh?! bo ah. wah lang bo ai tjo tien ah. (no. we didnt asked to fix electricity.)
uncle tjo: mm si la. wah si tjo tien. (no la. im tjo tien.)
aunt: tsk! to gah le gong liao. wah lang bo ai tjo tien lah! ( already told you! we dont wanna fix our electricity.)
LOL. wat the hell.
and he stood outside the house for really long before my aunt decided to whack the irritating "electrician" and opened the door to see my uncle in an incensed expression.
i can only imagine. HAHAHAHAHHAHA.

okay lame.

[jukebox track >>> turin brakes- dark on fire ]

STAIRCASE FIFTEEN prologue.
every thursdays 6-9pm.
the place smells like a giant ashtray, it's hard to miss.
this picture is probably an impression of our album. LOL?

yt, arif, jiahui and i went to check out Kambing's little pre-concert performance at Gaylilee.
and wooh, me and YT were trying hard to dodge killer glances from the drummer and lead vocalist.
one girl in the front row was already shot dead in fits of giggles. tsk tsk tsk.
anyway, anticipating it on 13 nov. one day before FYP report submission.
hopefully they'll sing Wine Red again and the speakers arent fucked up.

then it's the after school "sessions".
and we have power pack people in the house.
actually all are except for me and YT. haiz
we are working on it OKAY?
thanks to Mr. Goatie, i practise the pinky exercise everyday and it's coordinating better, i tink.
YT is probably on her way to the third song but the amazing thing is we haven uploaded an inch of dust onto myspace.
Arif, alamak. only mingle for awhile with Kambing and Alif and he plays like one kind of santana-ish fella already.

and finally, the long awaited opportunity with THE BOX.
nice pose ah, boy. as for how she played it, enough said.
the 500 bucks drum box. that makes all songs sound lively.
me and YT need four hands to play Do That Thing You Do. very good.

Spotted: Chuck Bass aka Arif.
chucking his bass guitarist position and turning into a percussionist?
mm, i see potential there, upper east siders. haha

one of the kuku artworks of lim yu ting after our sessions and an empty stomach.
but yea, you should really eat some shit, arif. I CAN COOK OKAY!

Clock used to mean so many things.
but whenever i see it nowadays. it just reads: DEADLINES DEADLINES DEADLINES.

DEADLINE. im heading there and yes, dead i am.
(mind you, i took this pic myself,man. flair from within.)

are you mugging for it too?

random note// re: Gossip Girl
nate and jenny? you gotta be shitting me, episode 8.
he practically got together with every girl in UES.
anyway, i think dan did the right thing not to let blair say those 3 words.
wouldnt it be worst if they got together at the wrong moment and screw up?
better off playing the chase game till the right time comes.

Do you wanna play a Dumb Dumb game?
Guess who was hospitalised from falling off a bed?

a) Jawad the Shisha Addict.

b) Me. Well im clumsy by nature so no need for much explanation.

c) Don the 19 year old toddler

Got your answer in mind?
Good. the answer is...

NONE OF THE ABOVE.
check out patient option D here.
Ms SAS 2007. lovely lady here was wrestling with mysterious man X and her slender legs got stuck in the cabinet next to the bed. (dont ask me how it happened.)
and as she rolled down, rotated her knees the wrong way and there goes the Knee Cap.
Girija even had to go all the way down to NUH to invigilate her UT in the ward.
LOL. what can i say. she isnt called Queen Feefa for no reason.

see this woman. knee cap just finish surgery still can smile. LOL
must be the joy of being loved by mysterious man X.

Diagnostic Imaging. My favourite class.

Nikhil Nicholas. Ex Mortuary Radiographer, current full-time RP facilitator.
i think he is one of the most interesting and humorous characters i've met.my second favourite faci.
first is... hehe... is not who you think it is, guys. favourite faci is Francis Lim.
LOL. anyway, nicholas was quite violent and see what he did to Skeleton Eddie tho. His whole skull fell out!

A week away from mind-blowing modules, tests and project.

is it just me or is the sun in indonesia more scorching?
1 X tanning in sibolga = 5 X tanning in singapore
too bad i didnt bring my banana boat.

Indonesian food is the curtain call appearance, man.
Pecel Lele, Ayam Bakar, Bakso, Jus Apokat and a new discovery.

bubur banado with salted fish and belachan. YUM

La Cruise bar behind Nagoya Hill Plaza.

This is really an awesome one. The building of the bar is shaped like a Star Cruise and the interior is exactly like the deck of a ship. Too bad they don’t allow photography but the ambience is thumbs UP and the drinks and desserts are great especially the avocado pudding with condensed milk. wooh

White Lace and Promises.

Early in the morning of 8am. Asyakirin Mosque at Taman Jurong, we hear the bells ringing.
and who are we solemnizing?

i cant believe this, Zubby. i feel like a spinster at the wedding. LOL
she looked damn pretty and ramly looks damn scary in this pic. haha

ring exchange and solemnization.
the mosque is pretty grand.

then to ramly's place for some yummy wedding spread. the sambal prawn damn damn damn damn damn damn delicious. i can just eat the gravy with plain rice, i tell you. this is the best part of weddings. but of course i wasnt in it for the food only la. haha

ZUBAIDAHHHHHHH.
congratulations, honeybum. this is a turning point of your life and i hope it is for the better. young marriages might come as questionable to some. but for your case, i think it is more of a blessing.

YAWN.
school commences again. boohoo. meaning? more UTs, more lessons to drop your hair over, closer to FYP report submission date, closer to FYP presentation. 14 Nov is Judgement Day, my dear Year 3 peeps. 14 Nov.
but it means i get to eat my favourite soya bean ice cream again. :D

speaking of judgement day, have ya'll watched Armageddon yet?
okayyy. pardon me for being way outdated again. but i only watched the show last saturday.
very nice film and great cast. Bruce Willis, Michael Clark Duncan and Liv Tyler.
When Ben Affleck sang Leaving on the Jet Plane before he rocketed off, my cousins all went aww.
but when Bruce Willis was talking to his daughter through the satellite channel for the last time, that was an instant tear jerker, man.
Don't Wanna Miss A Thing is haunting again.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO TAN HO HO!

can you believe this? your previous birthday was just like days ago at Sakura.
now we're here at a karaoke singing our heart out for another year.

here we have the birthday girl.
tried to do a stunt to surprise you and it was supposed to be me.
but it was an authentic failure.

oh man. are my eyes playing tricks on me?
xyn is singing! holy moley. and the amazing part is ... she sings WELL!!!

lynette is like scanning for some old songs cos i haven listened to chinese songs in 92384919038290 years. so all i can sing is some jay chou, leehom numbers.
oh yea, they have Take A Bow in K Box. that's pretty updated for kbox standard.

whee! happy happy happy.
i love my old friends. (no pun intended, ho yeh. i swear. XOXO i love you.)

after reliving our past affection for show, we decided to make a trip down to his shop furthest side of the East.
the clothes are disappointing. but the shopkeepers are all gorgeous taiwanese with eyelashes that can fan you across the room.

Late Nights with Gerard Emmanuel- The Diet Talk Show.
hello there, fellow readers.

today, we shall talk about your diet.
now, i know it can get really boring at the sight of the word DIET, but trust me, it is not going to be about me telling you how i wanna lose fats and become anorexic. really.
we are going to talk about what is right for you. yes, you there staring at my blog.

so anyway, my dear fren Gery Emmanuel has this really stringent regimen on what he eats and stuff. (from protein shakes to sandwiches every 3 hours)
and i can really see that he looks so much healthier, fit and radiant. so i was wondering how it happened.
then he told me this entire process of how he came to be what he was now but by the time he completed his story, my jaw was near the ground.
tedious the process may seem, but wow, it is kinda inspiring.
when i told some (esp momok) about how i wanted to follow a strict healthy-lifestyle diet just like gery, she gave me that are-you-insane face.

gery's hypothesis (pro-diet):
you are what you eat. you eat shit, you become one. would you rather live short and miss out the good things at a later part of your life or make more effort now and have a lasting youthful, wrinkle-free lifespan? dont be stupid.
momok's hypothesis (anti-diet):
life is short. eat what you want now. you never know when you might just die. would you rather live short but know you have lived to the fullest or live long but feel unfulfilled? dont be stupid.

well yea, i dont wanna be stupid of cos but whatever choice i make, it seems that i will be to either one of you right?
so i guess i will try gery's hypothesis for the first half of my life to gain lifespan.
After which, i'll take momok's idea for the rest of the half cos i am near death by then anyway so i'll just eat all i want. good idea? yea, i thought so too.
if there are unforeseen deaths like car accidents or lightning electrocution, the above mentioned is void.

back to gery's inspirational talk about healthy diet.
it is so very true that people nowadays have a misconception that diet means to slim down and look like some model (male or female alike) so you can walk like the breeze next to tyra banks. no no no.
diet, in its rightful term, means to have a healthy proportion of your macronutrients and vitamins according to your height or weight.
so when i say: "i'm on a diet", it does not mean that i am trying to be thinner. i am merely being more conscience about my portions for meals. ok? good, so moving on...

for us humans (any shape, size, color, religion), we need to take note of the things we eat.
to ensure a healthy diet, one should take in all essential nutrients and calories daily.
by nutrients, i mean your macronutrients (c'mon. we learn about this in structural bio, peeps). They can be classified into:
Protein (animal source are better as they contain full sets of amino acids. soy is the only veg source that contain complete amino acid set so you may take that too.)
Carbohydrates (take unrefined carbs like wholemeal or brown rice. refined carbs has all the goodness taken away.)
Fats (do not scrap fats totally. a lil of it will be good.)
(no nucleic acid ah. how to consume that?)

As for calories, the right amount to take in should be about 1000 kCal for small people like me and for the average people, it is about 1400 kCal.
any more than that becomes fats, any less than that causes energy reduction.
but of course, that depends according to other things like the individual's metabolism rate and stuff.

i think he is a powerful counsellor because as of now, i have no interest for smoking or shisha anymore. i remember those times where i went home feeling so guilty after those lung destruction sessions but i just wake up forgetting my guilt and doing the same old routine again. so this is it.
this is the phase of your life where whatever you do makes you what you become for the rest of your life. (:

kill my thoughts.
[jukebox track >>> dynamo of volition- jason mraz]

wanted to experience the life of an american couch potato.
so me and jr. went down to the DVD rental shop to get some movies.
and that splurger decided to get some hawaiian pizza.
we sat in the "theatre" for like 5 hours and the experience was good. laid back and all.
that caveman wanted to watch A Walk To Remember, which i did for 6 times already, but being a darling of a friend i tried parting my eyelids and kept my snoring minimal.
the only part that kept me awake was probably the part where he went to his dad's place to thank him for paying Jamie's private homecare. wah, that part. tsk tsk tsk.
and the caveman, as i expected, tried to be a man and hold back his tears. bad attempt.

i never really watched the Da Vinci Code and i've heard from my friends that it sucked.
but i was thinking- c'mon, it's a Tom Hanks film. how bad can it get?
and yea, i was right. it was nice what. considering mook's stereo system as a boost.
i thought it fulfilled its part as a thriller and a controversial story.
i myself is a catholic and i dont see why people have to blow up such a big deal about it.
it is your faith, your call. why do you have to be so affected by what a film or story spins about?
the only part that is worth being pissed about isnt even real.
the background may be real, but the priory of sion and the murderous doings of silas is just cloud castles.
[random note: i think silas is a good looker. tho sadistic.]

note to JAMES AND JASON//
listen ah you two neh neh porks. LOL
"The serpent tempts the woman to eat from the tree of knowledge, telling her that it will not lead to death; she succumbs, and gives the fruit to the man."
"The serpent in the garden of Eden, slier than every beast of the field, in Christian theology represents Satan, and the Fall (the eating of the forbidden fruit) establishes original sin."
In all archaelogical context, Satan, the one who challenged the religious faith of humans is always termed using masculinity. Lucifer, the SON of the Dawn. HE-satan, the accuser. Belzebub, the LORD.
THE CROOKED SERPENT IS A MAN!!!!
so who's fault issit? HUH!
who feed the woman with the apple? MAN!!
GARGHHHHHH. lol

p.s: no offence to anyone. it is just an inside FYP battle. thank you. (:

Kwon Sang Woo's London Wedding Pictorial

and who's the lucky lady?
Son Tae Yeong (yea. who that?)
seemingly gorgeous tho.

interesting settings for wedding photos.

poor emma was mourning away when i told her. LOL
well, as long as he doesnt quit acting. he's amazing at tear jerkers.

aww. this is really a nice shot.

all the way in london for a wedding photoshoot.
these people, damn lavish man.

[ jukebox track >>> that song adam sandler played to drew barrymore on a ukelele in 50 First Dates ]

you know what im talking about.
finally i get to see the entire season one without snips of episodes here and there.
and it really lives up to its name. nice show.
maybe it's just me, but i find chuck bass very charming.
asshole he may be, but he is pretty awesome as a friend.
that's like a really common phenomenon in guys nowadays.

chuck and blair seems like a cute couple.

romance for people in different worlds is tough.
and it is apparent in the show that it wont work out.

then there's nate archibald.
blond, blue eyes, boy cut hair, charming smile.
it's only right that he dated like 3 girls in one season.

ohh. time to watch The Nanny now.
her nasal voice is just irresistible.
till then.

[ jukebox track>>> leaving (acoustic) - jesse mccartney ]

my mom came back for a day and went away again.
this time even better. no allowance left for me.
i have 12 dollars left in my wallet and god knows when she'll be back again.

Plus I only have half a pack of Lays and 2 packets of myojo noodle left. Tsk tsk tsk

i've turned into a couch potato nowadays.
people find it odd when they call and i tell them im at home.
hello? as if i lead some wild life. i've never even decently clubbed once.
im just busy with school, hanging out a lil and doing normal stuff people do wat.

Though I wouldn’t mind barring and drinking a lil with my close friends.

thursday sessions was accompanied by jason mozart.
but he was like idling around. nonsense man. Dunno what he’s trying to do.

Well somehow it greatly affected me cos I get a lil tensed when people who aren’t normally there are there. People call it stage fright but technically speaking, there isn’t any stage so my condition is kinda worst.

Yt was getting a lil bit riled cos she had to play Nobody’s Home five times before I finally sang.

And that was only because Jason went to the toilet. LOL

went to school today. YES, on a SATURDAY.
and i missed my 黄金路 and 恶作剧 2 吻 okay. HAIYA.
(haha. Someone was quite revolted when i complained to her.)
for what? bacteria counting.
and considering the inconsistency in the result, i guess we still have a lot to do.
heard from james that some already finished with theirs already. Jade, i think.
time to start on the report, i guess.

__________________________________________________________________
and now for your weekly dosage of music to the ears.
put on your headphones and enjoy.

some people find his voice whiny.
but on the flipside, i find it awesome.
and it resembles someone's voice ah. haha
"she got me singing. ooh she got me singing. she got me singing. baby you got me singing."

2008-09-16T23:13:00.000+08:00

[ jukebox track>>> just go- jesse mccartney]

Studio Staircase 15.

thursday sessions that triggered some 9.0 earthquake.
but heck it. i had some laughs.
the vids are in flv format. remind me to pass to you, balls.

dont kill me. this pic is classic. haha
but of cos, nothing beats the vids. LOL

Visit to the Lord of Hilberder.
(prefers to remain mysterious)

who owns a bloody Mac Garage Band system.
the recording is effing awesome.

and a little retail therapy before my shinigami leaves for the land of soaring cranes and delectable oyster omelette for a week.
ah well. at least i know my darling Jasper is still here with me.

then followed by Environmental Tech Day.
goodness. that was seriously the most wasted day of my life.
idling there. supposedly presenting our FYP poster with Jessypoops to the businessmen but i dont remember presenting to anyone except francis and this french woman who sells activated carbon. so technically speaking, we didnt present to anybody prospective.

had FYP today and we chanced upon the Educational Career Fair at agora.
took a couple of brochures for the overseas uni esp canadian ones.
local uni can forget it la huh. nabeh. 3.6 and above.
i just realised out of all the booths, only a handful offers veterinary science course.
and the only ones that offers foundation year are the canadian and american unis.
best part is they are the most costly ones.
22,000 plus per year for three/four years in degree, balls.
but tuition and lodging fees all included.
sigh. seeing the crowd, application forms, chatterings about future prospects and i can hardly breathe already.
see how my grades goes for this sem first. get me through this pls.
.
.

there are a couple of people that look pretty constipated when singing.

like jesse mccartney and mraz.
but somehow, people who sing like that seem to sound really good.
especially on unplugged performances.
nad thinks jesse mac cant sing. i think nad is nuts.

[jukebox track>>> amazed- duncan james]

WHAT’S THE MATTER WITH YOU?

AAAAAARGH.
this week is just whotsamudi.
feel so drained.
already so tired and now this emotional weights are coming in at the worst timing.
i've bade goodbye to Precious Thots, my mom's not in town, money is running out, my diet is filled with MSG, get misunderstood, understand that im an ass, getting Bs, my cats shit every few hours and my overdue bills are knocking on the door.

self realisation just kicked in and im telling you, IT STINKS.
wanna explain myself for so many things, but i reckon, forget it.
this may only make things worst.

so im sorry to those im sorry for.
to jamie, sorry for being insensitive to your feelings and for ever making you feel like you should not. im grateful for all you've done and if i werent such a church mouse, i swear i would have given you so much.
but i need you to understand that i have FYPs and other things to catch up with sometimes.
i already go to school with you everyday and for first breakouts, i dont see why going out oftenly shows how deep a friendship is. (and my sundays are reserved for you pls.)
as long as we are there for each other at times of dire state or take the effort to catch up, i dont see why you should feel that im not treasuring our friendship.
and priority wise, i admit sometimes i prefer to go out with some other ppl but it is not because i hate spending time with you but because i like to hang out with new people as well. you understand what im saying?
we've known each other way back and im hoping you can understand me more than any other person can.
as for not giving/forgetting to give you presents, i am really sorry. i swear this christmas i will. [p.s: uhh when was i pissed when you opened up to me? i cant remember.]

to YT, sorry for my indecisiveness, forgetfulness and last minute back-outs. thanks for giving me a wake up call, really. thank you.

to alg, sorry for being such an unpunctual turd.

also to rahim and taufiq, sorry for being a ditcher for countless times.

and to kelvin my brother (if you even see this), im sorry if you ever feel i dont care for all the great things you did for me. because i really do.
you may tell me "it's okay" but trust me, it doesnt make me feel any better.
of all my friends, i feel most indebted to you.
for all the times you helped me when im hungry at night or console me when i cry or confide in you for random problems.
you seem to be the only male friend i have that my mom really likes.
that's why you are just like family.
treat you to teh-peng when you camp out (cos i can only afford that). good luck for your NS.

and for the umpfuckingteenth time, i am not expressing anger.
it is just that sometimes, certain things are not what i can control.
so dont judge me based on that or make accusations built on assumptions.
i realised the people i thought knew me, doesnt.

so emma, pls come home.
i have so much to tell you and baby brother, Steph.
i feel so lost without you.

it has been three years since i felt so heavy.
poly life really made me a more cheerful person.
and a blinded one as well.

note to self//
this is the phase of your life where you tell yourself:
you are becoming what you hate.

[jukebox track>>> let there be love - oasis]

there is a million things i wanna say.
but let's just keep it simple for now.

At Gramophone record store.

YT was quite bothered by something i did.
well im SORRY. but it was a splendid moment wasnt it? HAHA

hard rock soon. we gave him a See Ya promise, YT.

TOYOLS OF THE KITCHEN PART UNO.

no doubt eggs are the most delicious and CONVENIENT food.

ingredients for a heartay supper.

look who's doing the dishes.

toasting the bread in a very vintagey oven. near explosion actually.

scrambled eggs and mr. bean sardines. with a cup of coke.

after which.
we did some stupid shit before heading to bed.
cos it was like in the middle of the night and i had a flashback about the Will Smith scene in I Am Legend where he was sitting in the bath tub and hiding from the vampiric being's shrill.
and ann lee was like all spooky shits with me.
we even went to Youtube searching for scary vids to freak ourselves out before bedtime.
smart move.
AND RIGHT NOW, at 4am in the morning, this crazy woman is humming the X File Theme Song.
A Hole. im scared.

i better turn in now.
before the boogeyman gets me.
night, peeps.

- M, reporting to you live from Andie's crib, very insanely creeped out.
and stop humming the song already! god.

[jukebox track >>> semi charmed life- third eye blind]

YOU HAVE BEEN AWAY FOR A MONTH.
WAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!

since the third week that emma lied to me about coming back,
i have been embarking on the addiction of aggressive bingeing.
(yes. i know bingeing already stands for aggressive eating disorder. i like to magnify my word. alright?)
but this only happens when im at home in this godforsaken silent-till-you-can-hear-the-crickets crib of mine.
when im not busy working, FYP-ing or doing something illegal, i'd be munching on something.
ANYTHING. i just ate raw celery with no dressings whatsoever cos there was nothing left in the fridge (that is filling enough). it taste grosse but it keeps me busy.

speaking of fridge. there is the most orgasmic ice-cream sitting in my freezer now.

chocolate maltballs of Milo icecream. MMMM YUMMY
sharing is almost a sin for desserts like that. everyone should each get their own scoop!
$1.20 to satisfy your emptiness or mood swings at any nearby 7-eleven.

*today is gonna be the day where my pay check comes to me.*
but thanks once again to emma. who did not leave my bank card with me so i cant freaking withdraw any money. and my worry-full days continues.

oh yea. i had to switch on the TV and all the lights in the house so i dont get freaked out.
especially after watching Outer Limits on AXN Beyond.
(so mom. your bills are gonna be sky high. WOOH)

- M, reporting to you live from her very very LIFELESS cucina.

2008-08-20T00:06:00.000+08:00

[jukebox track>>> i'll do anything- jason mraz]

Today we shall talk about Toxic Friends, my sweet peeps.
yes. dettol liquids that resemble ice lemon tea, people.

Friendship. It is a two-way kinda thing.
Of course, it shouldnt be too reliant but you must find comfort and trust in it.
Toxic Friendship are those that make you feel drained out, unequally treated and you feel put down most of the time.
it is both over demanding and you feel insecure in it.
it is as though to see you crumble would be something the TFs would find pleasing to know. you are mostly being criticised or sarcastically dealt with when out with these people you call friends and at the end of the day, you sit at home feeling crappy and fucked up.

they are mainly classified into:

The User
The Betrayer
The Control Freak
The Judge
The Promise Breaker
The Gossip Monger
The Self-Centered
The Competitor
The Leaner

(all self explainatory. and i think "you" fall into most of the categories.)

So the big question is how to deal with TFs if you identify one.
It is a no brainer, right? But it is easier said.
After all, you spend time with this person and you pour your heart out and share laughters.

my dear ~~BUMHOLE~~ friend . you get really offensive and insulting sometimes.
and one thing is having different principles from you doesnt mean i have no principles.
please learn how to draw the line.
and stop playing the judge. god.

Well. that's my piece. do you have a Toxic Mate?

WEDNESDAYS AT BALCONY.

After three jugs of house pour. We had to deal with these Bailey’s.
And yes. Sorry guys for drinking more than I should.

We were normal at first. Jess got kinda red.
But trust me, her alcohol tolerance aint the worst.

Got to hear some really upsetting story of Cindy’s and I thought mine was drama enough.
bob marley says: dont worry about a thing. cos every lil thing's gonna be alright.

Then we tried some dares. And some find it hard to stomach.

Then there are some who find it superbly amusing and beneficial.

While some start to get a little woopsy toopsy with the tutti fruittis.
Happy New Year, jessy poops.

“FUCK YOU, MIKI. I AINT DRUNK.”

She’s right. She aint tipsy. It was someone else.

sheng provided some nice kicks. But we have a little spy to keep me from the puffs. boo

And so I crashed over at algae’s.

The night was pretty torturous cus the puke was only micro centimetres from coming outta my mouth.

YUMMY LUNCH THE NEXT DAY. (and im not being sarcastic, alg)
Asam Laksa instant noodle all the way in Yishun. With some pork and vegs.
