out of singapore for the week again.
at least i felt that the holiday was well-spent this time.

did a bit of spring cleaning at Emma's house to get some allowance.


New this week. (Not really)
Takuya Kimura is probably the most natural japanese actor i've seen thus far.
im probably super behind time on this. but Engine is an awesome show.
it's inevitable that there will be cheesy touching scenes here,there. it's a japanese show, wat do you expect. but it's kinda meaningful.
and he just brings out that retired racer character so well.
i don't think he's drop dead gorgeous but charismatic, yes.
(jonas: but the Gatsby look kinda puts people off) i second that.


Teen Vogue mags are really hard to find. and by that, i mean the latest issue.
the newest i can find is a March issue on a shelf at Holland Village and it was the last one left.
the fashion they depict is surrealistic and fresh. yea expensive, no doubt. but eye candy.

The End's Not Near, It's Here.
done with OC marathon.
when they say summer is mrs geek. i don't understand.
adam brody is nothing like a geek.maybe a little clueless. but in a cute kinda way.
and they FINALLY got married. (kinda ironic. its the period when they broke up in real life.)
ending was depressing when ryan had this flashback since season 1. with late marissa and all.

so.
this will be my last day of freedom to slack.
back to work with miniatures, seeing my pretty colleagues and fake smiles with customers.
till im free again, arrivederci.

Was talking to an old friend that day and we started talking about how we've been all these time.

it's true when they say that as you get older, you realise how ugly things are around.
it can mean your life, friends, relationship or work.
when you have a quiet time to yourself and start thinking about it, you'd realise what a dumbfuck you've been.
okay maybe not for you. but for me, yea.
like certain decisions made, walking on the old route knowing there's a landslide ahead.
believing that hey- maybe there might be a roadblock giving some sorta leeway. fuck no, that's stupid.
and when your friends say they:" told you so." you just wanna *pop* into a turd.
worst still, when you even lose friends who are trying to talk you out of doing the wrong thing.

so yea. we're all on the move now. having a fresh start.
it's probably been a long time already. but im glad we talked about it and we're still friends.
lesson #18 in life: do more reality checks.

look at us.
what we used to be back then, don't matter shit now.
we get hurt. we stand up. the pain we feel only makes us stronger than before.
life now is great. and can get better. (:

这次想来一点新的。 好久没用华文写字了。

假期过得还不错吧？
不懂为什么， 这个假期我放松不起来。
可能是因为明年就要毕业了吧 所以会为很多事情担心。
Joe 一直要我快点为毕业后打算。
说 如果要拿degree 的话，最好到 Vancouver 因为我家人在那里。
而且我查过了。 如果要拿Canadian citizenship, 在那里住两年就可以了。
那里的university requirements也很容易fulfill.
这次GPA 要拼啊。

来松懈松懈。
前天就抽空出来和老朋友们聚一聚。

Jam and Gery. I know you guys will be grossed out to see this chinese entry.

The tray of men tat Jam finds breath taking.

听过一个叫 <小狗华尔兹> 的戏吗？
挺不错. 市原准人 超帅的.

holidays are really long this time. so make use of it.
besides dental appointments, FYP, CE talks and catching up with old friends...
yoga and french.
since i figured my dream of going paris is pretty close to impossible.
might as well just start by their language for a change.
by far, yoga is simple. but french. oh french. tat is something else.
the pronunciation is totally different from its spelling unlike english by just reading the syllables.
try saying this : Quelle heure est-il? (what time is it?)
correct pronunciation is : Kehl uhr ehteel?

got that right, pavarotti?

My week away at sunny Jakarta.

I realized. What’s the point of getting a window seat when im taking the night flight??? Cant see shit.

The person I wanna see the most. Katheline, my niece. How odd, she’s 15cm taller than me.

First day. Headed to A&W where its extinct in Singapore. Strawberry Ice Cream waffle. 2 sing dollars only and it’s freaking filling compared to our Gelare.

At night. The famous KuaSha auntie came to urut Emma. They follow the path of your rib cage and scrap your back with a spoon. Ouch.

It’s suppose to cure flu and rheumatism.

Day two. Went around town along with my 5 yr old niece, Keisha.

Evening with Great Aunt and family at some Chinese restaurant that serves really nice Peking Duck and Mapo Tofu.

Day three. Off to Bogor to visit my Great grand aunt at the Yayasan Old Folks’ Home.

Then to Puncak! yeeha! four hour road trip. poor cousin Benny drove till he almost reached insanity.

At Puncak’s Renowned Lele(catfish) restoran. The Petai and Belachan is to die for.

Goreng Lele and Sambal Lele is a must try.the whole meal costs only about 240 000 rupiah (S$40) for 7 people. Here we are at the beautiful and really cold Puncak right at the peak.

Our very spacious and comfy villa. it is situated near an inactive volcano.

Sitting on the swing and overlooking the view from the top. It was like the whole world was under your feet.

Day Four. We went around the hills with a tour guide to pick some fruits and veggies. That’s a Petai plant.

My lovely nieces and me, the 18 year old auntie. Meant to stay longer to head to Sibolga Waterfalls. But my damn dentist's stringent appointments. At least i got a day flight back. the clouds looked like icebergs.

i hope it's not gonna be another five years. miss you guys.

*Dong Dong Dong Chiang*
trolley spree. all the red drapes, mandarin oranges and suffocating crowd.
seems like some food ration stocking up season.

Year of the RAT! s.q.u.e.a.k.

The naked face.
now can you SEE my EYES? finallayyy, you say.

HAPPY CHEENA NEW YEAR. (:

Early in the beautiful Sunday morning of the holidays. Cereal and Milk by my side.

the life where lazing perpetually was no crime. all i need now is a hammock and a cup of hot cocoa accompanied by the sea breeze.

happy holidays everyone. (:

Goodbye year two. Hello there year three.

{tribute to Dabelew Five Four Dee}

Seems like it rains every end of a semester.
This day was no exception.
The thought of Last Day sank in only when people started stepping out of the class.
The people I’ve been seeing four days per week all these time?
There you go. Wall of fame.

Sad thing is not everyone is in it.

Cos FYI, a full strength class in RP is close to impossible.
Also, a proper pic is hard to come by. Cos tahan-ing a laugh can be excruciating.

Take One>>>Tat’s Don. The self-acclaimed Edison Chen. Very narcissistic as we can see.

Take Two>>>

Take three>>>A clown a day, keeps a proper snap away.

Take four>>>There now. Best pic of the day. Now you look like Edison Chen in this pic, don.

Awaiting the day of our exciting chalet. will be awesome.
Seriously, gonna miss ya’ll. Take care and a good year ahead! <3

Goodnite all.
Arrivederci.
