Run, don't walk

I know it's been yonks but hey, better late than never.
9th Nov saw a blissful bday of the woman who has been a huge influence on who I am today.
Despite our commitments and responsibilities, my siblings and my dad make time for the queen of the family.
We rushed home, prepared the gifts and cake, and swarmed around her room.
Lights on!
Happy birthday to you, Ibu......!!!
She woke up in bewilderment!

At the end of the day, even though it was a mini celebration, I like how my family puts in effort to celebrate each and everyone's bdays.

The warmth. The familial love.

A job like no other

2011-11-03T18:28:00.015+08:00

Attention, Mum! Dad! Finallyyyyyyyyyyyyy, courtesy of my kind manager, after two months being a temporary staff, I've been granted a perm position! and that means i'll be moving to another clinic!!! That news really made my day beyond happy!

That's a first.

And who's even happier shall be Azmeey! Cos he eventually got a job too!!! On the very week i got thru the perm position! Let's just say he got his cup of tea and I got mine!

Alhamdulillah!~

Having to work in healthcare really taps into my hospitality skills, even tho I know nuts about the medical terms.. But i hope to ultilize what i've learnt so far. cos what i will be facing will be far challenging, tougher and fast paced!

Aww!~

During my last day at that department, I had Rena treating me for lunch, Fiona giving me a card & Jyy Yin and Diyanah giving me a cute cupcake eyeshadow plus masks!!! What did i do to deserve colleagues like that? :)

Flightless love

2011-11-01T17:51:00.000+08:00

Just as I thought the rainy days won't reside, I could finally see the sun!

In pursuit of reviving our good ol' childhood memories, me & Azmeey figured flying kite is the best. Besides, for every 30 minutes you spend flying a kite you’ll burn 80 calories. Don't believe check this out:

15 bizarre ways to burn calories

Speakin of old memories, while rummaging thru his scrabble set, he found these treasures!

We ran to and fro, trying to get that damn kite fly high... But alas. Never thought flying kite isn't an easy thing. Or maybe the kites dun like us :(

Despite my incessant paranoia and constant arguments, you still stick around. Thank you for being sucha keeper. :)

Curiosity killed the cat

2011-10-26T17:01:00.009+08:00

Just like u and me, the only day for a retreat is during public hols!

Hence a hangout with Ben & Hafiz, haven't seen them for yonks! So much so that Hafiz is serving the nation soon... He's left with a few days as a civilian. Hah.

Time after time, the phase of entering the adult world & bidding farewell to adolescent years.

Oh well.

Anyway, they wanted to catch Paranormal Activity 3 so bad! Was it darn scary?

I'd say it doesn't do any justice to watch it alongside a huge crowd. For someone who gets easily distracted with all the curse & screamings, i find that it's more funny than annoying.

Haha, i figured that show will be creepy if u were to watch it with minimal noise!

Ariel & me, before all the dodging & shoving. haha

And we parted ways, met up with Ariel to experience the deepavali vibe! strolled around Little India, only to find most of the shops are closed. I knw right, what were we thinking! But it was pretty much a discovery, altho we were being shoved by banglas many a time.

Suggested to stick that thingy on our forehead! And we ended up lookin' like...

Chindian for Ariel & Fillipino for me. Lol!

I felt like I was walking with a reflection of me. haha we were lost and we got excited! But laughed non-stop at our own clumsiness. :) No curry, no sari but we were so HAPPY!

Strangers, before

2011-10-08T22:59:00.008+08:00

They say.......

Stage 1 Meeting – First time you saw each other
Stage 2 Chase – Getting to know each other
Stage 3 Honeymoon – In relationship where you can do anything you want as a couple
Stage 4 Comfortable – Comfort you feel when your together
Stage 5 Tolerance – Excuses make to make distance
Stage 6 Downhill -the effort to try to make things work
Stage 7 Breaking up – Better to end it all.

It's been almost a year (omg i can't believe it) & we prolly have gone thru all of the above (even Stage 7) but if u asked me why i'm still stucked on this guy, i dunno why.
Oh.. love makes life confusing isn't it, but what would we be without love? It cures but it stings, it lures but it bores; you then try to come up with an answer but the reason is still HIM.

Yes. So it's him. He may not be perfect but his smile & presence just enough to reaffirm that I have someone who truly cares, understands and always be there.

Just perfect.

Politics

2011-10-08T22:25:00.002+08:00

Politics.

When i was younger, i used to think it exist only within the officials who possess powers. Of course that's so wrong. It's everywhere now - no way we can get away with it.

I could finally comprehend.

Obviously, there's always that someone who has nothing to do except making a broo-ha over smth, that someone who is too much on the lenient side, or that someone who's oh so workaholic. You'd prolly know if you've worked for at least a month. "A leapord cannot change its spots".

If you're new, it is less likely you'd become one of them but please, don't be like them. Never too much. Strike a balance, that is.

Lenient to the ones who deserve.
Know who you're speaking to cos that's when it reminds u of where u stand.
Motivate yourself!

Also, dun u think being mysterious is the new sexy?? U dun have to tell the whole world who you are cos it's easy to judge, and by revealing yourself way too much, you're giving them evidence to support their judgement. There goes your self-worth.

So, politics is a dangerous dirrrrty game. Best is to avoid it all all cost!

Transition

2011-10-07T01:21:00.000+08:00

It'd be weird to turn in early on a fri night, thought this might be a gd time to do some heads up!

End of the year is closing in, are u excited for the impending hols? Really, how time flies... Fellow guy friends are going to be soldiers and the ladies might have just embarked on career or tertiary life.

I am still grappling with my thoughts about the future, envisioning what I'd be five years down the line. I wouldn't say I've seen the world but I daresay I've seen the ugly truths of life and being able to accept it makes me human. With every heartbreak, setbacks and competence, I've learnt to move a step forward and stand on my own. The walls I build around me might not be as strong, but you won't see it tumble anytime soon.

Moving on to the transitions in life, I've learnt to sustain my relationship life, form the right circle of friends and finding my destined career. My parents have sort of given me the leeway to make decisions - but when there's freedom, comes huge responsibility. I am accountable for my own actions. Still, I hold on to my values & beliefs that I grew up with.

With every changes that are constant in every phase of my life, I hope given time I'll be able to adapt to the changes consistently and restore it to become something positive in my life.

From you

2011-09-26T21:43:00.009+08:00

Now I finally understand.
I heard you rant.

"I'm sorry I bought you roses.

I'm sorry I treated you with respect.

I'm sorry that I'm not a jock or your dream 'cute guy'.

I'm sorry I dun own a huge bank account to buy you expensive things.

I'm sorry I like to spend quality time with you at home rather than going to clubs.

I'm sorry I waited for you for hours, just so that you can dress your best.

I'm sorry that I clean your hair with my sweatshirt, to wipe away the bird poop.

I'm sorry that I still stay strong when a new guy comes around.

I'm sorry that I start not being there because it hurts being a punching bag, only to get scolding for nothing.

I'm sorry that you can't accept me for who I am.

I'm sorry that I can never do anything right, and nothing I do is good enough to make it in your world.

I'm sorry that I told you I loved you and actually mean it.

I'm sorry If I don't answer my phone anymore when you call, to listen to you cry for hours, instead of getting a couple hours of sleep before work.

I'm sorry that you didn't realize.."

Ladies always complain and gripe to their friends that there is never any good guys out there, and they always end up with assholes who mistreat them.
Well, a note to self: next time you're complaining, maybe look up to see who you're complaining to, that special someone is right there hanging on your every word as usual, screaming in his head "Why won't you give me a chance?" Because the person you are usually searching for is right by you...

Took me so long? Why am I so blind? I must've have crossed the line...

what happened to us?

2011-09-25T23:27:00.011+08:00

Can somebody really define L O V E? Does it have pre-requisites? Does it have consequences?

Wow, much as it sounds indescribably beautiful, it can sting you so bad. Even to those strong at heart.

For a long time, I thought I am ready for love.

I am largely aware that loving someone means devoting myself to him at all costs and able to accept, understand and compromise with each other.

But perhaps how much is too much? When you try too hard, even in anything you wish to pursue, it can eat you inside.

No doubt, falling in love is easy peasy - everyone falls in love anyway, but how far can you love that someone? You presume that you understand him/her but the fact is, there is more to seeing those weak spots.

Accepting the other half's flaws is one thing, being able to take control and embrace them is another.

You know, even the nicest person can hide his smile. But nobody knows what reads beneath that warm subtle smile.

When you love, the other half is the reason for you to smile, well, most of the time at least. But has anyone thought of deciphering that smile deeper?

I'm a confused creature, I don't understand myself. I need someone to shed me some light.

I believe there will be a point in time when we're able to open up, no secrecy - nothing to hide.

Having said that, hope love will find me back and knock me some sense.

Probably I was being too hasty, assuming that "starting all over again" and erasing my mistakes can solve the puzzle - but clearly, problems after problems, will inevitably chase me down the road.

Let's sing; JUST RELAX!

...............TAKE IT EASYYYYEHHHH!

Help needed!

2011-09-20T20:33:00.008+08:00

Overcoming career woes is not easy, especially when you're a distant dreamer. You are filled with dreams but your feet are paralyzed with uncertainty.

Hate the fact that I worry too much.. About absolutely everything, anything.

Lately, I've been thinking about getting into university, how much pennies I'm gonna make in future, how many friends I have left with, things I won't be able to do while I can.. and the list goes on. Mindless much.

Unable to maintain my composure, I ended up over-analyzing and over-planning! And the final result = my Guitarman got chided for no apparent reason. I know, I ought to be kicked on the butt but oh well, he chose to keep me safe in his pocket. :D

I've come up with a solution. Classifying my thoughts into two categories: "Things I can't change" and "Things I can change".

"Pushing yourself excessively does more harm than good"

Marry who?

2011-09-19T20:24:00.007+08:00

Just a random burning question…

Do men marry someone like their mothers?

To some degree, maybe.

Now that I have the significant other, I always entertain the thought of him posing a striking resemblance to my dad. That comforting, homely and strong man.

But that was a perception I had since childhood. Then I grow up, able to see my parent’s faults & flaws.

I subconsciously tell my partner how much he reminds me of my father. Both have the kindest & purest of heart, fatherly figure and generosity that are rare to find these days!

He, on the other hand, looks up to his mum as his role model. I’m not exactly a neat freak, but I get annoyed easily when things screw up so I’ll always start pressing the nagging mode. That part we’re quite alike. HAHA.

Then again, I can’t compensate her for my sky-high insecurities and fickle-mindedness cos his mum is one confident & capable woman.

So the pick-up line “Men marry their mothers and women marry their fathers” is no longer valid in my dictionary – although there’s a psychological explanation to that.

Be it passing facial resemblance to character similarities, my relationship with him shan’t be the same as a parent-child relationship.

More importantly, your partner and your parents can get along well.. You'll be surprised how great allies parents can be! You know who'll take on your side should there be an argument!

Stepping stone

2011-09-16T20:14:00.014+08:00

I just realized, sometimes being alone means breaking free.
TME CHECK: 8.14 PM

Here I am solo molo, up and not exactly running in the office on a Fri night.
It's not like I have so much things to do but it's an afternoon shift today!

The love for this job has blossomed, courtesy to the people around me, they're absolutely kind! During my first week, I alrdy got chocs from colleague! Awesome!
They welcome me with open arms and never fail to lend a helping hand :)

Initially, it was a period of desolation but never thought I'd love what I used to hate.

I see it as a new challenge and learning experience.
Back then, I could never imagine myself being in a contact centre..

So the moral is, never too early to say you hate something, cos it may mean something to you! And never too late to learn and gain new skills.

Hope to advance my career with this job!

Peace out!

Where's my outfit?

2011-08-25T21:04:00.006+08:00

Been looking out for jobs, hope I'll get somewhere in the healthcare sector. *fingers crossed*

That'll be the best angpao for Hari Raya man!

Hari Raya is nearing, but trust me the feeling of getting closer to it is different from days to Ramadhan. I'm not a fan of the Raya madness.. That explains why I've yet to get my outfit ready. On a brighter note, it's pretty fun to do all those spring cleaning & searching of decor. Like in a mission, yknw? Then again, so dead tiring la..

So tmr, am gonna complete my final mission to get my outfit which must make up to this year's theme - yellow! And match with this pretty bag given by Guitarman during my 20th!

Teehee!

Out and about

2011-08-24T21:18:00.002+08:00

It's fasting month, so what's the best next thing?

EAT. EAT. EAT!

Hungry ahhh

Uncle Teh Tarik hehe

It was a casual dinner at Arab Street. And we walked all the way to Beach Road after that... Whew, what a distance. But was fun! With my awesome company!

NICE!

Round 2: Ayam Penyet!!

Damn POWER i tell u! Thanks to him for takin me to Beach Road :))

And have I mentioned to you that zoo is giving free passes for Aug babies!!

Wah. I could never be lucky to have a partner whose bday month is same to mine! Birthdate side by side somemore!!

He is so happy to meet his fellow bestfriends hehe

Couldn't ride a real zebra, the fake one also can ah :D

Was so fascinated by how these birds hibernate! They looked headless!!

We've chosen Night Safari to visit, photos are blurry cos it was so dark! I couldn't even capture moments of my fav hippo bathing!! Sigh. But it's a really a sight. :) Like what they say, we'll love when we see, we'll conserve what we learn.

My conventional 20th

2011-08-18T20:43:00.003+08:00

I know my blog is as good as dead.

15th Aug has passed but... I have an urge to share with you abt my bday, not like it was grand anyway.

I must say, this time it was rather simple yet meaningful.

Bland yet colourful.

The feeling when all u could ask for are moments with your special ones, and that they wish you cos they remember your special day, yknw?

My special ones made it come true.

And all that teddy bears or blowing candles doesn't matter much.

All you want is a better you.

New dreams.

New attitude.

New thinking.

Given time, I wish I can achieve that better me.

Two decades of using up Earth's resources, it's about time to make positive changes.

Sounds like superman-ish, but REALLY!

A long gone departure

2011-08-09T00:11:00.010+08:00

She's a wonderful woman.
Indeed a fiesty one.
Who knew her illness was a silent killer.
Her joviality never fail to pave its way to my heart.
She loves to cook seafood each time I visited her place.
Mee hongkong is her signature.
I had begun enjoy eating it since.
She never failed to ask about my my life & my studies in particular.
Never once she missed out in family events.
Her presence was a fixture.
The most memorable ang pao - 4 dollar coins wrapped around candies & sweets.
And I thought I'd see that ang pao again soon this year.
Not anymore.

For now she's gone.

To the world with no agony & tribulations.
What would I not do to see more of her for the last time.
But alas....
Rest in peace, aunt.
You will be greatly missed.
Thank you for being a great part to my family.

August frenzy

2011-07-31T22:06:00.007+08:00

Hello, allow me to make a comeback after what seemed like eternity.

Sorry, been tied up with my temporary job & now I'm free, again. Yay!

Five & a half days per week was exhausting.

But on the flipside, I've learnt a lot of real life lessons.

For instance, a woman had to undergo dialysis & she has no one except for her dogs, since her husband left her. Despite that, she flashed her brightest smile & told me how she looked at the bright side of life - like doing yoga. It really brought a huge impact on me.

I guess if it were me, I'll be sober!

Tomorrow will the start of fasting month for muslims & I'm pretty sure there are people out there missing their loved ones or maybe hoping for a better change. Whatever it is, let's not forget those who have left us for good and cherish the present ones who still matter. Time to slow down, reflect on ourselves & clear loose ends.

Till then, let me share my August joyness with you! Things lining up: Sheryl's & Guitarman's bday!!! And yours truly too. Leo babies! Ahh twenty comin my way! I still wanna be a teen! :(

Cam addicts

2011-07-28T22:52:00.002+08:00

So recently Guitarman & I got ourselves this super cool newbie - Nikon Coolpix L120!!!

It's sexy, sleek, not too robust & not too bland either.

It's just PERFECT for so-called beginners like us!

It looks like a DSLR, but not quite cos it's still a compact camera.

Only thing is it can zoom up to 21x! Surprise anot?

We love the zooming feature! You might wanna stalk that person living two blocks away!

Okay, pls dun. Do it discreetly. Haha!

Here's the night mode. Oh, and the beautiful scenery & lovely dude made a perfect match!

I looked damn beat after work. :/

Hahaha my heart in a form of egg...

Our boots date FTW!

Things/places I wanna snap:

- Animals
- Scenery
- Food (yeeha!)
- Cool jump/ floating shots
- Under the tree
- Sunset
And blahblah the list goes on...

Fashion Reform

2011-06-07T16:17:00.010+08:00

My fashion sense is getting B-O-R-I-N-G. Pfft

I should perhaps start stocking up on:

* Vintage dresses

* Boots

* Lipstick

* Platform shoes

* Ring...& lotsa rings!

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months. -- Oscar Wilde.

55 more days to fasting month (ahhhhh)
73 more days to his bday
And 75 more days to my 20th!
(Yea, our bday is just 2 days gap!)

Tomorrow's MOE Teaching Interview! :/ Wish me luck!
I don't know I'll pass but definitely gonna make the best out of it! :)

Holga or polaroid?

2011-06-06T01:15:00.005+08:00

They say nothing beats analogue films.

No matter how modern the technology is, the former's still the best.

So I'm still contemplating in between Holga.. or Polaroid?

Check this out:

Big sale Fuji Mini Instax @ GMarket!!!

Price range: Likely the same

Benefits: Holga gives view camera-like focus effects BUT it can be tricky to use. (esp to a noob like me who's still experimenting)

Polaroid is very much instant

Quality: Holga has vignetting & result of photos is pleasing

Polaroid reduced eye fatigue & enhanced contrast (in other words, it makes ppl look gd than usual hehe)

Hmm... so should I get both? ;)

Happy 6 months!

2011-06-05T00:40:00.005+08:00

A child inside who can never get enuff of CARTOONS.

Lately I think I've been watching too much comedy. HAHA.
You name it - Kungfu Panda 2, Hangover 2, Paul: The Alien...
Need some horror mixture to have a perfect dose.
Let's, my awesome partner!

Okay, this is NOT a real cow altho it looks like it. We love animals. :)
These are just some random snaps we took in the month of June.
I love how he always take me to nature places to enjoy the serenity and each other's company.
The smell of fresh lush and view of fluorescent lights.

Not forgetting how he likes to surprise me with the littlest things that mean a world to me.
Afterall, he's one romantic dude and that makes him rare & special.
:)

This I love.
How the water suddenly sprung like a backdrop as we walked across.

It perfectly fit tgther.
It's like fireworks!
Or should I say, waterworks!

:)

Wish you are here on this beautiful weather,
Strolling down the park
Holding hands together
You are the one whom I always admire
I want to love you till forever
And both of us are devoted to each other
Will you leave me for another bloke?
Pls hold on to the rope
Cos I knw there'll be hope. - Him

(7th line is HAHAHAH!)

Happy 6 months (altho I dun like the idea of going by months)

and cheers to more romantic years to come!

No longer teens!

2011-06-04T22:50:00.001+08:00

My Saturday couldn't be crazier.

A bday celebration-cum-reunion was held.
Being one of the other rose among the thorns, me & bday girl had to put up with the guys' nonsense.
Yes, they didn't change much since pri sch days! *facepalm*

Bday girl & the guyzzz

Just as I thought I screwed up with the plan cos the tickets we selling fast, guess what!
For the record, all of us sat the very front row of the theatre!
Just to catch Hangover 2!
It was literally pain in the neck but oh well.
It got funnier as the plot thickened!
It was the kinda movie you'd wanna grab your grp of friends & see the show.
Kinda sick but hilarious! HAHAHA.

Act cool only

We had Pastmania for lunch.
And got bday girl a shortcake!
Cos we were so full by the time we had the cake.
Also...... a scrapbook done by me!

Old pri sch photos of her & how we met again after a decade!

Managed to ask the guys to write their shoutouts discreetly while she was ordering for food...

Apparently, she didn't see it coming! And funny how the guys sang bday song and went Happy Bday to Aniyah (me)! Lol!
Make a wish..
♥♥♥♥♥♥
After laughing at all the comments at the scrapbook, she fed everyone!

HAPPY 20TH BDAY BEAUTIFUL MEDOT!!

I couldn't describe how glad I was when I found you - again.
Just amazing.
I love who I am when I'm with you.
Not afraid, and you always make me laugh off my problems.

If I need someone to fall back on, it shall be you.
& I'm beyond happy to make you happy!

♥

In your wardrobe

2011-06-01T15:40:00.009+08:00

If I remember vividly, he sang me this yday:

"Wish I could be in your wardrobe,

When you're lonely,

When you don't know what to wear,

I'll be there,

But pls be aware,

Cos Mr Amir (my dad) might be there..................."

HAHAHAHAHA.

Spot my cat! That blackie was playing with my sis at

the background!

That was his own rendition of Meiko's Under My Bed! So many ppl are revealed under her bed! Heh.

Heck, (Like I) care

2011-05-31T22:09:00.006+08:00

Sometimes I wonder, does being humble, patient and naive have a price to pay?

When you're being too much of a humble pie, chances are ppl will perceive you as losers or weepers.

When you're being patient, ppl will shun and sometimes spew nasty words at you.

And when you're being too naive, you don't know what's going on yet thinking that everyone is born to be nice to you.

Well, I totally despise when someone enters your life, teaches you a lesson and then just leave.

I used to think that heck, there's no such thing as 'friends come and go' but I was completely wrong.

I feel a need to grow out of that idea and just cherish the people that stick by me.

Those who wish to leave, can just take their dirty baggage and get out of my life.

Having said that, guess I should strike a balance.

I can never be too proud but I'd never stoop myself so low again.

I shall be patient - but to the ones that deserve my utmost respect.

There comes a day when we all will stop acting or trying to be nice.

# Lessons in life!

Look Ma, i've graduated!

2011-05-28T21:32:00.002+08:00

I HAVE GRADUATED YAY! Just a few days late.

Internship has just ended yday!

I thought I did a good job for the report and am hoping for an A!

Those days of mopping around for not being able to attend Grad Ceremony was long over, but the sting still remain cos it was sucha big day to be missed.

The least I could do is to congratulate my friends, for joy and happiness afterall ought to be shared.

They say this is the period of doomsday, having to hunt for jobs is like going for an intensive mission.

I should know, cos I have yet to begin the quest.

It's time to wonder what to do with this life...

My life is close to complete but not till I carry out my responsibility to do my bit for the family and perhaps stop living off my parents' income.

NUS & NTU rejected me (as expected) and I felt sad for friends who are on the same boat, despite holding so much of achievements.

But hey! Fresh graduates are selling like hotcakes so seize whatever opportunities arise!

I'm gonna go for either NIE or a full-time job before heading to a private uni.

Talk is cheap so I'm gonna work my back off soon.

For a starter, gonna start a brand new me with a new haircut!

And be a temporary housewife at the moment. Hahah

Just recovered from bedbug bites!

It sucks, but I'm fine now.

It'll be great to have few closest friends too.

Cos TRUE friendships after separation will still survive.

I like to see who's in. :)

Grad

2011-05-24T23:15:00.004+08:00

Goodbye, goodbye.

Gahh I hate that word!

Can't help but to think will everything be the same again if we are all on a different track?

Will our jokes be the same?

Will we say hello again?

Yea, my senior was totally right abt that.

"One day you'll look back and miss it."

Right abt now, wish I could just stand at the rooftop and scream my lungs out.

Cos it feels like this how it should end.

But! Finally WE MADE IT!!!!!

Beautiful disaster

2011-05-17T23:52:00.004+08:00

Seriously, i don't do so much of household chores, but today was otherwise.

Felt like a housewife - an industrious one.

Swept the floor, changed the besdheets, grilled the fish, sorted out the clothes and washed the teddy bear.

At the end of the day, its sucha wonder how much you've made full use of your energy to do something that will come in handy in future.

Don't we all wanna settle down?

Yes, it's too early to say but don't ask me why i began to develop that thinking in my mind.

Anyway anyway.. look who's all excited to test the new bedsheet..

Who else if not for my black cutie..

It's been almost 6 months and this phase of my life has taught me to disregard the imperfection.

It's not like a walk in the park.

Or bed of roses.

It's about being in that dark tunnel and still able to cheer each other and say "we're all in this together".

Also, the littlest things that you call initiative.

We tend to take that for granted and expect more.

This is not the case when we give the other half without expecting anything in return. :)

On Friday, we squeezed the time after work to make cabbage soup together.

Too many ingredients!!

And we transformed the kitchen into an ultimate disaster!

Despite that, Guitarman never fail to compliment my fail attempt and he's lookin forward to more of my cooking!

Oh boy, i'm falling in love with you all over again. :)

I'm anticipating for D&D to come, but still contemplating.

This is what u get when your clique is not the events kinda material. Sigh.

Heatwave

2011-05-11T13:22:00.010+08:00

Full stop. I should stop procrastinating.

IPP is coming to an end in two week's time. :)

The weather has been terrible!
Not smth new tho - and neither am i complaining.
But to what extent is terrible when it's been givin me rashes?
And 36 degs??
Poor my Guitarman have been caught up with high fever ever since. :/

Hope he will be back on feet again.

News have it that this will persist till the end of next month.
Prepare your sunblock, ppl..

Speaking of heatwave, it's the spring season in the Northern hemisphere! So hello to bright colour pants!

Ooh! Rare & vogue! Talk abt being different! I've always been a fan of her skinny frame. And she pulls it off very well in blue! I love this sporty babe! Glam chic!! She brought red to a whole new level!

All these pictures mean one thing - im gonna geddit!! ^^ i love skinny pants! do you? heee..

Oh mother!

2011-05-08T23:27:00.007+08:00

Okay okay, enough of General Election (GE). Today's Mamma's Day!
A red mug and a card to put a smile on her face.
Also, I took up her shoes and did a bit of household chores.
Well, nothing is more gratifying to see her radiant smile cos of the lesser burden weighed upon her.
To wrap up the day, Dad treated the family to dinner!

It's been a while since we had a quality time together!

(Sorry no pictures cos I've forgotten the camera!)

Anyways.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all wonderful mothers out there!

And Happy Birthday to my best buddy sister, Maha!!! I truly miss poly days.
Hope life's treating you well! :D

Hiatus

2011-05-06T20:03:00.003+08:00

Have you ever laid on your bed at night, and just cried? Cried because you’re ugly. Because you’re not good enough. You counted all your flaws from head to toe, to punish and feel worse about yourself. Cried because the comments people blurt out, actually hurt your feelings. Cried because you didn't achieve what you want. You don’t want to be a burden, so you bottled it all up. Around people, you’re the happiest ray of sun shine. But nobody knows, that at night when you’re alone, you break down and just cry.

Did you?

2011-05-06T09:29:00.004+08:00

Did you know when you dream about a person, that person went to sleep thinking of you? Did you know when the person you like looks at you and then looks down, they’re crazy about you? Did you know that when a person looks at you directly in the eyes they love you more than you think? Did you know when that person looks at you a lot they can’t live without you? Did you know when they leave, they say bye too much because they don’t want to let you go?"

I was told by sis that she dreamt of me yesternite and found herself sobbing upon awakening. Yes, real tears. In her unpleasant dream, I was parted away from her... While I so believe that dreams are just fictional, the thought of being away from Sis really is an aguish. I wanna grow old with her!

Ben 20 Ultimate

2011-05-03T11:48:00.009+08:00

Now now, I can proclaim myself being a good planner - as far as Ben's bday celebration is concerned. With a huge help from Guitarman, every single detail of the plan went smoothly.

Everyone has got their fair share of rise and fall - not forgetting gay moments too! Hahaha.

Let the pictures speak.

The hits

The misses

We waddled our way only to trip and fall everytime, but we got up as soon & our butts were all wet! Feeling2 like ice princess! Haha. I just can't forget how bemused I was to see Hafiz & Ryan holding hands and Fadhil holding my boyfriend's waist! Totally gayish but it's just for gag.. Teehee.

That's a first! Next up is dinner @ Seoul Garden!

Bday boy with his prezzie!

I just can't stand looking at this "blistered" octopus!!! *Squirms*

And Ryan ate it - after so many times cooking it!

For some reason, I was more excited to do prepare my own dessert! Not so much into cooking :/

We make an awesome group for the day! :D

What work taught me

2011-04-26T17:50:00.013+08:00

Work has made me wise in sucha that my colleagues never fail to enlighten me about LIFE.

"may God grant me the SERENITY to accept on things I cannot change, the COURAGE on those that I CAN and the WISDOM to know the difference between them." he said.
A tad spiritual but what a nugget!

Also, they enlightened me about DELUSION. (pun is intended)

Colleague: Bye guys!
Me: Whoa... Knocking off like now?!
Colleague: I was invited to a wedding
Me: Huh serious??
Colleague: The Royal Wedding!
Me: -_-

***********

And once upon a Friday, I wore a black top coupled with a necklace chain & Sarah thought I resemble like this chinese actress whom I don't even know till I googled her.

Lee Ching Hsia.

Should I be smiling, not?

In my humble opinion, she's way beautiful than plain-jane me.
And I dun think I look like her at all. Perhaps the outfit that day. Teehee.

**********

Anyways, cheers to payday!!! Savings start now! :D

I do, believe

2011-04-23T01:40:00.013+08:00

I love how the days were being productively spent with him.

It wasn't that perfect cos sometimes either one of us screwed up but that's the whole point rite?

Being beautifully imperfect or imperfectly beautiful - whichever way you'd like to put it.

Often i get mad at him all thanks to my own silly mistakes or worse, when insecurities/PMS acting up abruptly. I'll turn into a real WILD BEAST. Period.

However, at the end of the day, the lessons learnt are definitely worth reflecting than blaming at each other. It fixes the broken and opens up the flaws.

After immersing ourselves with books @ Esplanade library, had our very own candlelight dinner. Amidst the live jazz music, we sat by the corner enjoying the breeze while digging into Mee Goreng, catching up with our lives. Beautiful nite. Just beautiful.

Also, i've come to realise that our characters complement to each other but that makes it even more interesting. That's where balancing out keeps the ball rolling. I've always wondered if he's the one for me. But what I can assure - when the world walks away, he'll stick by me and when I'm feeling not quite strong enough, he'll be my pillar of strength. Just as I thought he'd give up on me after seeing thru everything, he never once treat me with disrespect; in fact, handle me like a precious gold, still. :) How could I not feel blessed?

*******

Here's to more cheesy moments! But really, today is even more fairytale-ish... From the supposed bowling/ice-skating to movie to lunch to dinner, it was all on him cos that boy just got his ka-ching $$!

Our tummies were well-fed with sinful food.. Burps! Got ourselves books each and oh, Scream 4 movie!! Dun remind me of how giggly we got! Seriously, we're supposed to scream but the blood looked so spastically fake and cliched scene cracked us up big time! I'd give a 3.5 out of 5!

Books time!

2011-04-22T01:15:00.000+08:00

On my previous post, i put 'reading a book' as part of daily activity at work. Well, does magazine count? Haha i'm not a bookworm to start off, used to keep Enid Blyton books but the interest & passion just reside over time. So i guess it's about time to be a nerd once again.

Have always been a fan of his quotes & managed to watch some of the movies that were adapted from his novels. Now now, this one sounds interesting:

"Basically, Thibault finds a random picture of this woman while he was on duty overseas and his friends start to suspect that this photograph is some sort of lucky charm. It certainly seems that our main character fares better than his fellow marines during his 3 tours in Iraq. Namely being that he survives.

Once he finds this woman, the story is just getting started. She's a teacher but her family owns a local dog kennel where Thibault conveniently finds a job. Elizabeth is single mom with an ex-husband who is a real piece of work. Thibault doesn't come right out and tell her that he's come all this way to find her because even he is trying to figure out what the purpose was. As with any good Sparks book you can see where their relationship is headed. Nice Guy + Attractive Woman = Love Story."

I'd love to see how to the story intertwine as love unfolds!

**********

LOVE. BLOOD. BETRAYAL. REVENGE.

Ooh sounds thrilling! Can't wait to grab this one!
This sounds like a good idea to kill time & stimulate my brain!
Also, exercise is a MUST too! Ahhh

5 more weeks to go! LIVE IT OUT!!

Things to look forward to

2011-04-21T00:08:00.004+08:00

So I've been tied up with work lately.
Here's top 10 list of what I'm up to when I'm NOT doing work.
It can get as mundane and crazy.

1) Facebook & hunting for interesting articles
2) Forgetting to eat
3) Play the addictive bubble bust game
4) Procrastinating
5) Read a book (which has got more starting than ending)
6) Go to the loo & stone in the cubicle
7) SMS
8) Sleep with my eyes open
9) Look at the plant next to my desk cos they say, look at smth greeny to avoid myopia LOL
10) Snack on Hello Panda

Yes..... i'm one lone ranger, rotting at my desk all day long, adding on to Natalie taking leave for the past two days. Pfft

******

On a brighter note, boring stuff aside, here's what I THINK i should look forward to make my regular working days less mundane.

1) Cold showers in the morning
2) Donning nice formal outfit though I'm always stuck with this one
3) Smell of freshly-cut grass & view the beautiful flock of pigeons
4) He fetching me from work ♥
5) Nights with him/family
6) Mum's delicious cookin
7) Curling up in bed with my fav music
8) Saving up & planning ahead for newest things; everything's an adventure!
9) Random Fri nite gatherings, going places
10) Weekend brunches. The weekend is mine, all mine!!

Talk abt being positive as the days go by! At least I won't have to worry getting fat & havin to suffer hair loss from all the rotting in the office! :D

Clearing the space on the corner of my mind

2011-04-10T00:02:00.017+08:00

It comes as a huge surprise there are peeps out there checking out this space! (thanks) been leaving it for some time. Shall keep it as alive as possible for now!

Reasons for oblivion:

1) Facebook

2) Internet was down!! Stupid router!

3) Work (so tireddddd)

Anyway anyway, for some reason work made me damn beat although the workload is not that rigorous at all! Sch is missed!

Was down with a heavy headache that felt like there's sorta earthquake on my brain! But now it feels better.

Kinda struggling to manage my finances now that the pay has rolled in, what with the start of adult fare.... -.- almost consume quarter of my pay!

And can't help but to get perplexed whenever someone comes asking about what's my plans upon graduation. Seriously, I just feel smack him/her in the face.

Much as I don't wanna hear it, ppl be it friends or colleagues just love to pop that question.

I might as well become a housewife. Lol

*****************

So i made a point to spend half of my Fri & the whole of Saturday with Guitarman. And made a pinky promise with Ben & Samuel who are having internship as well - to meet during alternate Fridays. And lazy Sundays all to myself!

Three (?) weeks ago. Blasting it out at Azmeey's concert.

Performing Queen's I wanna break free!

After concert! Tarzan hair gone!

And sweet as he always is, he fetched me after work and send me home. Congrats he got a new car! Journey to home never felt so bracing & sweet.

*****************

Couldn't forget how I walked the Clifford Tower stairs from the 26th level for firedrill exercise!! First time! It was totally insane!

It's 26. freaking. levels. :O

FINALLY BITCH! WHAT A SENSE OF ACHIEVEMENT!

Look at the crowd... Dun think this is only carried out in sch!

Leg went wobbly! As if just accomplished Amazing Race!

I just had to snap some shots as evidence!

********************

On a sunny Saturday, went cycling @ ECP! Yes, my boy is noob in cycling. But best driver! So ironic isn't it! It was very amusing to teach him like a baby but never felt satisfied to see him continue striving despite falling and hitting the tree! Plus thru observation, some Sporeans are helpful. A couple and a man held his seater and walked him thru! It was such a moving sight. I could've done that, but my featherweight can't possibly carry his!

We had the time to ourselves. Sweat it out! Ate ice cream, snacking on tidbits, a walk in the park & sinful dinner at Mr Teh Tarik!

****************

As promised by him, he took me to a place that he mentioned as "nature-like" and away from the town. indeed! Love the beautiful scenery & breeze!

***********************

And a homely Friday! He was being victimized as my experiment to try the homemade face scrub - as seen online! It worked! But nyet, i forgot to churn the oat's meal! Worth a try! Churn oat's meal with plain yogurt! Your skin feels silky smooooth!

Pretty boy in the making nyehehehe

Go retro!!!

2011-03-20T17:43:00.006+08:00

So, I have been looking everywhere on the internet for up-do’s that look cute, but a easy to accomplish. Here are some that I found:

This one's really suitable to pull off to the office!Cute & casual braid can go a long way! This one's really Audrey Hepburn-sque! Classic!

I love headbands so I had to put this one in!

The reason why I got hooked to pin up hairstyle is partly cos I am so sick of the same old boring ponytail/bun to office everyday. Secondly, all thanks to Guitarman's recent concert! Saw several young singers/musicians donning that retro burlesque look. Pin-up hairstyles, vintage dresses, colourful accessories & all set to go!

Things to to get:

- Bobby pins

- Hairspray

I'm madly in love with retro alrdy! Next on the list would be retro dresses!!

The pains of being unemployed

2011-03-19T18:08:00.010+08:00

This time must be the most crucial period for my graduate friends. While we are alrdy embarking in quest of jobs, we just can't help to scratch our heads aimlessly which path to choose. It is a dilemma that most of us have to face & the anguish of being unemployed. It's like "Damned if I do, damned if I don't"...

In my opinion, go with the flow. Simple as that. I should know, cos I was at that 'stage of distress' before, whining to my Mum what's next in store for me. Moreover, I'd be the first to step into the workforce & complete my diploma - ahead of my siblings who are still studying. Finally, I get to put those worries behind me & come to a few conclusion.

1. Ask around

It doesn't hurt to ask the people that have been there, done that. I am lucky to have a colleague that happened to be my alumni & he told me all abt his experiences, regrets & two cents worth. He told me that if he could turn back time, he'd choose business track instead of IT. Not to say that IT is a no-no, but bottomline is that you have to choose wisely. What you like to do & strike off whatever you DON'T like to do & make sure you don't choose that path. Since we are fresh grads, it's commendable to work in a reputable company that offer good pay, rather than working FOR someone.

2. Do research

It all boils down on your enthusiasm and effort. Research all the companies that you wish to work with, and clear your doubts. As for myself, I wish to continue studying while pursuing career, so I 'd attend all the talks & open houses. It did come in handy.

3. Make preparation

The least you could do is to prepare your complete resume - which isn't a difficult task afterall. However, bear in mind what things to put to cater to the job requirements!

4. Don't be sucha fussball. Go get it!

Just apply. You may not know what's good/bad for you. Let those jobs take you far. But of course, you have to present yourself before they choose you!

5. List down your list of plans

Do a mindmap or whatsoever to prior to your career/study plans. There can be many back up plans. What are you gonna pounce on to should plan A doesn't succeed. Do a thorough necessary checklist. Prioritize what is hot in the market and what are you passionate about. What you love to do may not be in demand; however you can still do it as a sideline. You don't wanna end up a failure rite? Shelve aside your wants & focus on the market.

6. Lastly, be patient. Just wait (but not till your hair turn grey pls)

Yes, good things come to those who wait. After all your efforts, trust me, you'll get a reward. Seize whatever opportunity you have. You'll soon find your answer.

Till then, i hope everything turns out well as planned. It may not be exact as ABC but at least you'll be glad to achieve your target.

"You Reap What You Sow!"

Internship & other things

2011-03-17T23:38:00.014+08:00

Getting the hang of it.

Two weeks down.

All the squeezing on the train & pulling off that formal wear like other office ladies....

Lucky I'm thin, I could just snag every lil corner but sometimes, it might not sound good as it seems. Just now, my lipstick got smeared on a guy's suit. Wish I had the guts to apologise but just as I was closing my eyes, the train jerked & POOOOOOOP! I hope his wife/gf won't get all wired up! :/

Internship is awesome. There's nothing to hide or complain abt. While it's too early to say, the tasks given are reasonable for us to undertake, workplace/eating place is accessible. Finally, work made me kick that bad habit of coming late. Yay!

My partner Natalie is so sweet to get me this caramel cheese cake! And when there's Natalie beside you, you'll never stop munching on snacks. That girl ALWAYS keep food in her bag! :D

And oh I'm dying to get a haircut like seriously. What happened to the good old? That fringe is bugging my forehead & made me look like I have receding hairline!!! URGHHHHH. I so gonna change parting & shampoo too! back to basics - Sunsilk!

Gonna support my Guitarman for his concert tmr!!!! Alongside Ben & Hamidah.. Can't wait to see him rocking out!! :D

Two days ago, we spent time together after what seemed 24y844287days.

Like a retreat for both of us.

Started all over again; never felt so bracing.

One generous and patient man he is....

Never knew what I needed till I almost lost grip.

It made me realise this man has got a million ways to make me smile, frown & cry...

And no one else compares.

So good to have him around him again.........

The reason for me to hang on to, and come back again.

Thank you for sticking by this fickle girl! :')

:(

2011-03-13T01:51:00.006+08:00

"but you must really give him credit
he is willing to let down his pride
no matter how stupid it might be.. to prove to you
in a relationship i dont think there's much to prove"

"sincere for a few days dont > sincerity for life"

"just dont leave him cuz of this 'guy a'
if this can happen
there wont be any relationships in the world
because 'nicer' ppl will keep coming ur way
so dont let go of what u have"

"it's hard to find someone like him. that will stick by you even at the darkest moments of ur life
cuz one thing's obvious, he still loves you even though you've done wrong. he still accepts and forgives you
go back to him!!"

Words coming from a good guy friend. Many thanks LZ. :))
I believe this relationship is worth fighting for....
For once and for all.
Even how corny & unconvincing it may sound.
Let me prove it to you that I still have strength & hope.
And able to stand on my own feet.

Tsunami again?

2011-03-12T20:13:00.005+08:00

When was the last time Tsunami striked?

I still rmbr on 26th December aft Christmas.

That was the last thing we ever wanna see.

Cos our country is just an island away from the affected countries.

And now what?

It doesn't take long for Mother Nature to show her wrath.

After all, she is too old for mercy.

My condolences go out to the people at Japan... :(

Geared up!

2011-03-04T03:01:00.002+08:00

I pretty much dread shopping. Contrary to most modern age ppl.

So weird, i know.

But shopping spree with Sis is an exception.

FUN FUN FUN!

This heels are made for walkin'

Yes, it's really high. At least, for me. For the record, gonna muster up all the courage & try on this pair!

Yay new heels. New bag. And new formal wear!

Today spells awesome.

Also, cookies from him. Thank you, really appreciate it. :)

Whateverrr

2011-03-03T00:50:00.005+08:00

Don't you just abhor people who play god?

Live as if they take control of everything.

Or being philosophical as if this world belong to theirs?

Or speak as though they know everything at their fingertips?

It irks me. Urgh.

No one's too holy or not.

It's not for us to judge.

If you have a point of view, make sure it's logical & sensible.

Else, next time you point a finger... I'll point you to the mirror.

Well-said, Paramore.

Farewell energyOne

2011-03-02T03:15:00.014+08:00

Farewell never tasted so sweet!

You and I will meet again
When we're least expecting it
One day in some far off place
I will recognize your face
I won't say goodbye my friends
For you and I will meet again

This one's for the lovely peeps I forged friendships with @ EnergyOne Safra.
You all have been a sporting & lovely bunch.

Ying Ying :)
Debbie! :)

Thanks to these two sweet girls for the pleasant surprise!! I swear I didn't see it coming. I was panting from the rush to work cos I was late. And ta-daaaa!! Debbie handed me a box and when the minute I opened it, was astonished & speechless! "What for??", I asked. LOL!

To think that orientating Debbie & Ying Ying for merely a couple of days, it was unexpecting & sweet of them to gimme smth. Felt less lonely when they're around! Wouldn't be more aww-mazing if they joined earlier... ;( I'm missing them alrdy!

With Dilah! :) She planted a kiss on my cheek! Teehee!!
With the clown aka Asia's Vin Diesel!

And laughing buddha who never failed to bully me! :) Botaks unite!

Overall, it was a great experience working there. The awesome ppl I've met. The colleagues I hung out with. Even if it's only for a month or so... It's grrrrreat! And these two girls are my favourite.

Bye EnergyOne! Continue pumpin' the energy!!

Time to enter a much serious working life - internship. :)

Au Voir!

-" Every end is a new beginning."

Waiting, anticipating

2011-02-27T02:51:00.011+08:00

Anticipating the few weeks to come!

Gonna drag Sis/Guitarman out to accompany me to get formal wear & heels!!! *hint2 wink2*

Cos i HAVE no idea where are the best deals to get those!

And apparently, I'm no-heels girl.

Do u know??? Please help this noob!!!

Heh. Thank you.

I can't think of a title

2011-02-26T01:48:00.003+08:00

Hello once again.

I'm actually sooooooo zombified now thanks to lack of sleep.
But I rather get tired than shaking legs doing absolutely nothing.

Been ranting for lame reasons and Guitarman is the usual victim.

Sorry abt that! :/

Shall learn to control my tantrums; afterall who loves to be scolded rite?

Shall be fair and treat him like how I want to be treated. :)

On a positive note, I could finally catch my breath after applying for Uni.

It takes a toll on me so my fingers are crossed. *grits teeth*

Am grateful to have supportive parents; especially my kanchiong Mum.
She'll ask the world just to clear my doubts. (by hook or by crook)

She's awesome like that. ♥

So today we headed to Island Creamery after work & open house @UniSim.

Both of us had stomachache after drinking milk (we think so.. haven't done with our investigation haha) & that is why his face looks adorably retarded here! Mine too but I shan't disclose here!

Dessert for two

Finally, gotta indulge in the i-swear-it's-sinfully-delicious ice cream cakes!!!!!

We realized food is sometimes the remedy to problems, yes? :)
Yummmm can't get enuff!!

"Love me when I least deserve it, because that's when I really need it."

Need some time to find myself

2011-02-23T02:43:00.005+08:00

For too long, I had a hard time figuring out myself.

Wish I know what exactly are my weaknesses and be able to make a quick fix.

But personal traits are not tyres. It's the matter of time for one to alter it for the better.

For all I need to know, making assumptions & judging someone shows who you are.

That's ridiculous.

But in this world of twos-sided creatures, it's hard not to get drifted away from negative thoughts.

So what's the remedy?

Accept yourself as you are right now; an imperfect, changing, growing and worthy person.

Fear less, hope more; eat less, chew more; whine less, breathe more; talk less, say more; love more, and all good things will be yours!

May days get better for me as I close my eyes & listen.....

Black Swan

2011-02-21T03:06:00.001+08:00

So I caught Black Swan two days ago. Like finally!!!

I swear I never get hooked to sucha movie before.

It's epic, dark and graceful.

All in all, it's BRILLIANTLY DISTURBING!

Counting on to to net reviews, it's not exactly enjoyable but you'll definitely feel fulfilled watching this.

The poster itself is giving me creeps!

And Natalie Portman & Mila Kunis & Winona Ryder made an expensive trio for an epic thriller!!

Also, Natalie Portman showed me the beauty of sticks & bones.

So I should stop whining about my skinny body.

I say Black Swan is A MUST WATCH if you haven't!

HAPPY 21ST BDAY SIS!

2011-02-19T00:57:00.006+08:00

Been thru alot with this woman for 19 years of my life (excluding the part when I'm still in Mum's womb hehe). She's my bestfriend, sister, fashion guru, love guru & a teacher of a lifetime. A guardian that protects me from evil minds.

Having her in my life makes feel like I'm the luckiest girl to have a sister.

So here I am, wishing her a HAPPY FANTABULOUS 21st BDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, no partying or drinking. Not her type.

P.S Can't wait to carry out all those surprises that i've plotted for her!

XOXO

Attachment news

2011-02-18T00:49:00.000+08:00

So i've alrdy been informed of the company I'll be attached to.

ALLEN & OVERY.

"Our philosophy is to maintain a high level of personal contact with clients and to ensure those clients have access to our resources and skills at all times. We manage transactions proactively, act both as legal advisers and project coordinators and believe in the effective worldwide management of know-how."

Whoa. I'm gonna work with lawyers?

Two words: Excited & Petrified.

**********

And seriously man, how I wish I can make up my mind on this - to go for teaching or part-time Uni & working? After graduation can make me go headache.

Hope I can make a proactive decision pretty please.

All in a day's work

2011-02-16T02:39:00.000+08:00

Hello Hello!!

How is it going? If you asked me, I have not much to update 'cept work.

As time goes by, I found myself adapting to the environment mingling with lotsa sporty ppl!

My colleagues are a bunch of sportsmen with masculine physique but they're really NICE & humorous! Lil did i know men of such may look tough on the exterior, but deep inside they are melting sweethearts. One listens to ballad songs and another is a ladies' man!

That's one thing.

So yday first time did closing with Keith a.k.a Van Diesel (yes, he looked like a photocopy of him!). Jokes are no longer abt Justin Bieber or whatsoever. Everyone else there talks abt marriage, life & current issues! Trust me, they make it sound comical to talk abt. But one thing I learn, marriage isn't an easy thing. Not just vows, but it's how long each other can preserve the love.

Before I start to ramble like a philosopher, two days ago, Shafie & Sis made my day @ work!

Just as I was craving for food, those two angels came to my rescue! Weehee.

Happy Level JJJJJ

Besides this, caught up with these adorable bunnies hopping ard the neighbourhood nearby workplace! Afterall it's the rabbit year!

Playboy

The nice view of daylight. This picture doesn't do any justice.

One of the rare days I don't starve myself @ work. Still, this ain't enuff for my dinner.

If I have the chance, trust me, i WILL kidnap this cutie!!!!!

He picked me up every now and then from work. Thank you for the awesome ride. And for introducing me these kitties!!!!

That shall wrap up.

Work isn't that bad.

Alrighty, shall surrender myself to bed.

Noights everyone! :)

CNY 2011

2011-02-10T01:44:00.004+08:00

Back from a short yet an awesome CNY visit at Mee Leng's place with Maha, Faizal, Hafiz, Li Qin, Alan and Mee Leng herself. They call themselves HAHA FYP TEAM! (?) It must've been the projects that drive them crazy!

Lucky i didn't break the dress code like what I did two years ago - wearing black! Can it get any dumb-er? hhaaahah

Anyway, there we watched tv as we savoured delicacies and watch the teevee.

Everyone has got their fair share of ang baos! :D

And a happy group photo! :D

After which, had dinner with Guitarman at Jalan Kayu's Mad Jack.

FOOOD FOOD FOOOOD, hell yes!

Although I'm not really into salads, this caesar salad with brocolli & strawberry is appetising much! I let Guitarman eat as much as he can cos he lack vege! hehe

This beef lasagna is my favourtie too!! Ah, I can eat almost everything there when I'm hungry. Yum!!!

And we call it a day.

An awesome CNY.

Awesome company.

Awesome food.

An awesome boyfriend.

What more could I ask for? :)

Vday...not?

2011-02-06T23:51:00.008+08:00

This 14th Feb.. Talk of the town. Hahahah

Well, i'm lookin forward to it cos imma get my pay!!! Ka-ching!

But apparently, since this year I ain't single no more, I popped the question to Guitarman..

"So do you celebrate Vday?"

"Nope. What for? I love you everyday. I wish to make you happy everyday. And spend time with you everyday. Not just during Vday..."

Aww... these are the littlest things that set him apart from the rest. And it never stops me from smiling & cherish him more. :)

It's the Guitarman!

Contented!

2011-02-05T23:33:00.000+08:00

WHEW. My room's squeaky clean! I loooooike!

Talk abt post-cny spring cleaning. Wait. There's no such thing.

But anyway, I felt like a sense of utter contentment!

All the nose-got-clogged-up paid off.

Some of the treasures found in the wardrobe were my uniforms; surprisingly in good condition and alrdy ironed!

Glad that it's all kempt now.

Make-up set galore at one corner, and rings at the other!

Next up. Bags!

Need to throw all those kiddie bag packs..

This is what I'm talkin abt!

Oh, and bro's gonna start his jc life tmr!!!

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Love needs to be earned?

2011-02-04T01:24:00.005+08:00

On a random note, have u wondered; Does Love Need to Be Earned?

If that which we call "love" involves an investment of our time, resources, and commitment, then of course it's something that others should earn before we give it to them. But the state of love itself does not make those demands on us.

It does not expect something in return.
It does not judge.
It does not take up our time.
It does not cost us.
It does not consume, it liberates.

Therefore, love is when we can offer ourselves and others without losing something. In fact, we gain something as a result of doing so; a gain of power – the power of a deeper sense of trust.

CNY Eve

2011-02-03T01:36:00.003+08:00

On CNY eve, managed to have a catch up session with Siuyun.
Had lunch at IMM before most of the shops close their shutters and left the mall to a solitary state as people gush out to prepare for bah kwa & pineapple tarts!

Finally. A break from wrk & sch. Sounds like as if I was ultra busy but nehh, actually not. It's just that I was too pressurized working & schooling alone. So it felt somewhat homely to see my friends again!

So HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR to my chinese friends & HAVE A LONG WEEK to those who finally get to indulge in the sweetness of holidays!

After that, an impromptu dine out with Guitarman & his cute parents! Dinner was on them.

It was my first visit to Simpang Bedok!! Fusion food galore man!!!

That's one of the few places to go when most of the shops are closed! Had a quality time with his family & a fulfilling dinner. *burps*

Love my Matt Bellamy!

Off to watch Jackie Chan show on tv with family! hehehehe
Peace out!

Rainbows

2011-01-30T21:34:00.005+08:00

Yummy yummy.
Great. Instead of studying, i'm ogling at these delish rainbow cakes!

So it's a very chilly & rainy January.
But they say there's always rainbows after rain...
So wll there be rainbows on Feb?
CNY, Vday, Sis' bday....
Am lookin forward to learn baking from Guitarman's mum (with Guitarman himself). Hehe
It's gonna be awesome!

Tell me why I don't have the slightest mood to do all those shopping crap..
I guess because of the fact that I am so broke.
That explains why I'm currently working.
Once I get the pay rolling in, gonna get myself pretty shoes & clothes.
And of course, outing with my dear family & friends.
It's been eternity. Gosh.
And if everything goes well, will head for attachment on March!

And lastly, GRADUATION on May.
:O

His sweetness moved me. Talk about sacrifices.
A man like him is one in a million.

I'm grateful to have found one. :D

Raindrops!

2011-01-28T20:57:00.001+08:00

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are fallin' on my head, they keep fallin'

But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep fallin' on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothin's worryin' me

P.s: Perfect song in times of weather like this. Classic!

Will miss you dearly

2011-01-26T21:13:00.004+08:00

Another nothing-new post.
Few days ago, I mourned over the loss of an adorable cat named Tiger.
He's Guitarman's favourite cat.
It made me learn to let go, and to appreciate the littlest things in life.
Cos you never know what you have till you lose it.
While Tiger's not my pet, I feel the absence greatly cos he never fail to show up everytime I visited Guitarman's place.
He's just so adorable to describe.

On the very fateful day after Guitarman & I sent Tiger to the vet, he passed on.
It's about time for him to go to a better place, i guess.
I'm not a person who let go of things easily.
Hence,it takes a deal of courage to do that.
For all I know, kidney failure is really a killer. :(

Yours truly,
Animal lover/Melodramatic girl.

Work it!

2011-01-22T22:34:00.004+08:00

So my temporary job commenced yday.

What a kickstarter!

Got my hands on how to handle the cash, keying in records, do membership & what nots.

Now THAT'S real deal.

Siti, the colleague that walked me thru the day was sucha sweetheart.

Knowing that I had only instant noodles for the day, she offered me her sandwich.

Rugged as she is, she's one funny & patient multi-tasker! :)

So if you drop by Jurong SAFRA gym, say HI!

I'd be gladly to assist you.

But not to train you, or course.

Overall, it was such an eye-opener having to work in a gym!

It makes me feel..... sporty? Lol.

There's like a horde of NS men!

And sucha coincidence the working place is in the vicinity of Guitarman's place!

That means he can pick me up every now & then. :D

But dang, so wasted that I didn't get the chance to capture the beautiful view of the twinkling & blinking kites up on the air, amid the illuminated full moon. Oh sheesh. Next time!

It's soaring!

2011-01-18T00:25:00.009+08:00

Visited the sch dentist today!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It took up almost 2hours just to get my teeth polished. (Ohmy, it must've been very very bad huh)
The pain was excruciating I teared up!
What not, it's been 3years! (Dun laugh)

And I just gotta know that two of my wisdom tooth got buried near my tongue and once it outgrow, it will come in sideways & clash with my normal teeth! Oh that's gonna hurt! Scaryyyy! :O
I thought it alrdy got extracted during pri sch...
Anyway, i don't even know what's wisdom tooth till today.

Tooth's kinda soar now. Take days to heal cos the gums are inflamed.
I so gonna maintain & brush my teeth properly!! Hmph!

NTU Visit

2011-01-15T00:12:00.002+08:00

After an "adventurous" tour at NTU!

You're wondering why the heck I mentioned that?
Seriously. I felt like going to Genting having to go thru the winding roads & uphills at NTU!
Maha, Liqin, Meeleng, Alan & I visited the open house for Sch of Physical & Mathematical Sciences last Sat!
And WE GOT LOST. Hahaha predictable.

Anyhoos, finally I know what I wanna do in life.
There's sorta wisdom telling me this one's for you.
I thought Mathematical Sciences sounds like me.
Then again, shall try hard to appeal cos the gpa alone can't guarantee me there.
Alternatively, NIE shall be the dark horse. :)
Too early to tell.
But this May will.

Everything with you

2011-01-14T23:26:00.007+08:00

Caught Gulliver's travels with him.
I rmbr coming across this legend on Pri Sch's Pets Book!!!
In the island of Lilipuuuuuuuuuuuut (*insert Slang)
The movie was hilarious & laid back!
Half the time Guitarman choked laughing! Hahahahaha!
I had to calm him down.

Afterwhich, you will either see us makan, playing like kids, searching for places like lost cats or LOL-ing!
The times we shared; will be cherished to become precious moments in my life. :)

Never thought I could find a man who would never get tired of me, much as I'm never tired of him.
Always make feel secured, confident & contented. That's all I'm asking for.
But some deluded jerks in the making can't even live up to that.

That aside, here's to ladies!
I may be new to love but this is my two cent's worth:

You know he's the one when he never fail to call you beautiful even seeing you in your pajamas or hair not done!
When he makes a difference in your life & discover your true self.
When he makes mistakes, but learn from it to correct himself for the better.
When he spend less time with his used-to-be hobbies just to devote his time for you.
When he never get sick listening to your rants.
When he shelves aside his ego to give in to you.
When he takes the initiative to know abt your family background & more about your life.
When he adores every side of you & loves you in every state!

There's more to this I guess but shall put that aside!

Go meeleng, it's your bday!

2011-01-12T23:07:00.001+08:00

J is for January & I'm lovin' it.

Despite worries clouding my mind, the people behind me never fail to spice me up!
Heck I flunked that $&^@#@% XML module, on a brighter note, I could possibly do better than the previous.
Talk abt how fast you get up from where you left off.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEELENG!!!
May you find new love & happiness on your side!
Got her a rose, card & DIY icing bday cake.
I know, I'm SWEET. Big time. :p

And the best cake goes to..........
Tada! Bwahahaha even Play Doh can't beat this!

My bro is a winner

2011-01-09T22:15:00.002+08:00

9th Jan. Sucha significant day for our family.

Particularly my bro!

The. release. of. Olevel. results!!!

Was expecting him to attain 12 points or below... Cos I knw he will definitely do better than I did. (Cos he's smarter than me)

However, the results were far way excellent than expected!!

6 solid A1s & 2 B3s!

Being one anxious sister, I kept bugging him for results.

When he broke the news, I was completely astound & speechless!

And then it turned to a euphoric moment with hustle & bustle!

I was literally out of breath & jumping like a monkey.

The first person to witness that is my Guitarman. Then, Ben got his list of the JCs he reckoned!

My itchy hand just couldn't resist from spreading the joy on fb!

Seriously, you never know there's a genius hiding in your family or even, resides within you! One word: BLESSED. :D

Thank you Guitarman for the thoughts.. He got my bro a pizza!

Ahhhh. Congrats my dearest bro for making all of us proud!

I was told by Ibu he refused to give a speech cos he knew other students would rather be eager to get their results than listening to a top student hogging on the microphone. That would prolly demoralizing for some.

For the record, one of Amir's offspring is gonna go for JC!

'Nuff said, you make me believe in myself to rise above the rest, bro.

It's never too late to hit the books & read up as much as possible.

Hehe.

2011, be nice

2011-01-01T00:59:00.010+08:00

Today's the slackest & peaceful New Year eve.
Staying at home - the best option to save yourself from burning big holes in your pocket & getting trashed by those kiasu elephants.

So now it's a brand new year!! Oooh Twenty eleven!
New Year Resolution? Nah. Ironically, mine is not to have any.
Cos the more I make, the less I could accomplish.
Live life to the fullest is the best one could think of.
Particularly myself, cos I often regret the decisions I made and compare my life with others.
While these things ain't gd, it made me wiser...
Instead of going 'How I wish...'
why not 'I couldn't ask for more..' That sounds better doesn't it?
Well, mistakes are inevitable but without it, we won't learn. We'll prolly be robots?
Even robots have glitches.

Anyway, 2010 has been awesome. Newfound love, lessons learnt, quality time with loved ones, reunion with long-lost friends, critical times in sch.... you name it. A mix of the right concoction! I wish 2011 will be sweeter & brighter for all of us aye!

p.s: Soon there will be fireworks bursting from my phone! Thanks to all the super massive greetings! BOOM BOOM BOOM!

Happiness, joy

2010-12-19T23:21:00.008+08:00

They say time heal wounds.

Kudos to him for scoring 7/10! Ladies sure need men instead of boys.

Oyes, im head over heels!

This is what happened to me lately. Hehee. Blow wind blow. Blow him out of my mind! :D

p.s: (to add on) 8:15 am I'm late for school!

Love bites

2010-12-15T17:28:00.003+08:00

" When God knows you’re ready for the responsibility of commitment, He’ll reveal the right person under the right circumstances. Wait patiently. Don’t waste your time searching and wishing. Grow and be ready, you’ll see God will give you a love story far better than you could ever dream of. "

TEP is over!

2010-12-12T00:06:00.004+08:00

ELDC buddies!

Awesome. Tmr Monday I dun have to dread waking up in the morning anymore. I dun have to drag my half-alive corpse to the train and make my way to sch. Cos I have completed all the stopovers in TEP! And now I'm left to clear the repeat modules & I've yet to taste the bittersweet of attachment life! Well well. Time will tell. But wait, I need to get a damn part-time job RIGHT NOW!! :/

Anyhoos, best of luck to my buddies who are havin attachment/TEP! You guys are on the verge of 'honeymood' period! :D

Remember December

2010-12-10T23:18:00.012+08:00

Yet another TGIF!

With my Guitarman ♥

All I have to say that this man never fail to wear me a smile on my face. December would never be the same again. A once lone ranger, I spent Christmas in the midst of the wet weather, lying on the bed ponder over stuff, wishing I could make it happen. But now, great times come rollin in. I'm truly blessed. :)

Thank you for lifting my feet off the ground.

Thank you for bringing colours to my life.

Thank you for never give up on me.

Thank you for always telling me that I'm beautiful despite all the flaws cementing me.

Thank you being my shield.

Thank you for understanding all the sides of me.

Thank you for making me happy.

I like who I am when I'm with you.

I feel comfy, safe & calm when I'm with you.

We will go thru the thicks & thins together. Come what may. :')

"Love comes when you least expect it."

Okay, sorry if it gets a lil mushy here.

But it's not easy to see me being so corny you know. hehe.

Christmas with Steph

2010-12-06T22:58:00.000+08:00

It's the time of the year again!

Have you checked out the Christmas lights & sounds in town?

If you haven't, no time to waste! Swing by there to feast your eyes!

There were 3247247 Christmas trees around. Okay, i'm just kidding.

Me & Steph

On a random Tues, we patronized branded shops & dinner at F.I.S.H. She was shocked to see how many rounds I ate. Haha. My first date out with her since ELDC. Being a simple person who don't go for branded perfumes & bags, it was quite an experience. Heaps of tips from her! From gettin gifts for the other half to what's 'in' now. Hehe.

And I have to say that I have a fetish on Kate Spade bags now! Love all things colourful and vintage. What abt you? :)

Nothing compares

2010-11-29T23:33:00.011+08:00

What more can I say.

Yesterday felt like a fairytale.

So much of indescribable moments that I didn't expect.

And I feel like a newborn person today.

A whole lot livelier, better things to explore & look forward to.

It feels more complete like that.

Never found someone that will hold on to you no matter what, and embrace your flaws.

Now i got one. Couldn't ask for more!

I will treasure this & remember for the rest of my life! :)

Ahhhhh tmr NAPHA Test!!!! Wth! Somebody pls help me!!! But hey, at least I stepped into the gym a few days ago. Whew. Steph & Sheryl were planning to use measuring tape to do standing broad jump at home! Hmm, maybe I should consider jumping on my bed! Hahaha hope it helps!

For the ladies

2010-11-28T02:32:00.000+08:00

"It takes a real man to handle you, embrace your imperfections, tell you the truth no matter how brutal it is, never give up on you no matter how hard it is, pleasure you, treat you like you're the only one, & give up the game."

Hijab

2010-11-27T23:36:00.007+08:00

Was inspired by this beautiful lady on Youtube!

Yes, and that's called Hijab. Pretty subjective. I've always wanted to put it on on a permanent basis but oh well. My mind is clouded with so many things & I don't really know where should I begin with. This and that. But really, I hope one day the One above would give me the direction to follow. And of course, the reason as to why I wanna make it happen not because of vanity, but to change for the better! :)

Can you think of nice places to get pretty brooches/accessories that go along with the hijab? :)

Magical moments

2010-11-25T22:34:00.004+08:00

You know, i have always loved fairy tales. Like alot. Heck, there's a fairy tale dream or two lurk beneath us, especially girls. I cherish my childhood a lot, i read lotsa Enid Blyton's books and love imagining characters come alive. Often, I wish I could be one of the magical characters living in a surreal world; clad in princessey costumes & waiting for Prince Charming to come to rescue. Well, i know, it's childhood dream. But it feels so good huh? And you know what, I'm still living in that dream.

So now, when comin across disney movies, I'd be one happy child.

Now you know what I mean! I used to believe one day my hair will be as long as Rapunzel... Not that hard to maintain though, cos I'm living at the second floor! hahaha!

Take a breather

2010-11-24T00:17:00.013+08:00

With my cookie monster before watching Megamind :)

So what's up life! It's been a while.... Decided to pop in here cos i'm not gonna resume my flash work as of now... Just got back from gym with Ryan, Ben & Lz! It was MAD fun. Ben said when I wake up tmr, i'll have packs bubbling under. -.- Hah! Anyways, had to put up two days Sheryl-less in sch!! So lifeless... No one to really hear my complaints! :(

Meanwhile, had to motivate myself to pull thru. What not, i had to juggle between my repeat modules and ELDC... To add on, the ELDC project is smth BIG - for grad next year. I can't afford to screw up. But glad that supervisors & friends like my concept! :)

On a positive note, hope to get a job during late December! Received calls for interview.. Great. Wonder what's in store at the end of the year.. Shall make the best out of it!

"Good things come to those who wait!"

Alrighty, i better sleep now.

Exhausted!

Sweet november

2010-11-22T15:49:00.000+08:00

Before I turn speechless, I shall pen it down.

I have never seen myself being so committed to someone, not in an obsessive manner but in the name of responsibility and devotion. I thought I'll never find true love cos everytime I do, It NEVER goes my way. Sad. It even crossed my mind that I'll die virgin. Till I found this man. We started out as distant strangers, who got a mutual interest for music and cats. Our first date was nothing but a total bummer (lol), what more getting attached and all that was out of the question. Perhaps, is this an accidental romance? Time went by, it was evident that both of us are hopeless romantic, hence it was funny how he caught me by surprise. Again and again. Trust me, he sucks at sweet talking but hey, good try! Till then, I came to know that it's beyond mutual interest that attracted me; he's just simple but different. Perfection is boring but he is close to being perfect but not enough to the point of being boring. Moments with him felt so surreal - it's like I just woke up from a dream. Most romantic time of my life indeed. Of course, the grass is not always greener on the other side. The bitch in me acted up, more than anyone could imagine, but he gave in, shelved aside his ego and fondled me tenderly. If there's a key to describe his strength, i'd say patience. He could've given up on me long time, but he never. We bickered alot but neither of us will give up. He loves everything about me, even the enormous pimple on my face, to my frequent silly questions. He played with me like a kid, entertained my princessey dreams, put up with my rants and even got scolded for that matter. He's absolutely supportive, likes being with my friends and always comfort me when i feel like shit.. He never gets bored looking at me and tells me how beautiful I am everyday. The way he looks at me never falter. The songs he composed touched my heart. Ahh and the memories and adventures we had together was amazing! We eat alot and I love how he likes to tell me stories about anything under the sun. He will do whatever it takes to make me happy, even if it hurts him inside.

For the first time.

That said, I know you are the one worth being with.

This one's for you and our one year together.
To my bestfriend and lover of my life. The only one.
Thank you bunny.

"To love is nothing, to be loved is something;
I am nothing but to be loved by you is everything"

Melly baby, finally!

2010-11-19T00:38:00.006+08:00

Like finally. Got to meet up with her!!! Meet Mel, my sweet bitch.

Oh gosh, haven't seen her in so long! close to one year! Tonnes to catch up!

Hit the town to have a dinner date at Fish & Co. as a bday present requested by her...

Here's a thing. While she can be so beautiful, she's never snobbish, narcissistic, aloof or shallow. That's why I love her lots!

FAIL

Wasn't at my best cos PMS struck! Damn. Bad hair day and i was tireddd.

Could it get any worse?

Anyways.

Time flies when you're havin fun! Especially at nite.

It was so short but worthwhile.

How I wish I can keep her in my pocket or smth. Hehehe.

Hope our double date will come true, girl.

*Hugs*

Hari Raya Haji Eve

2010-11-16T01:22:00.002+08:00

On Tues; eve of Hari Raya Haji that is, skipped sch cos I was late!!!

Nong nong story. Dun bother to knw.

Anyhoos, visited his place & it was totally impromptu!!! So I wasn't prepared.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed my time there sooooo much. :D

Watched some oldies movie, played with his fatty affectionate cat!

Meet Tiger, the lazy cat. (According to him)

And his Mum baked this scrumptious (blueberry) cheese pie!!! Thank you for giving me opportunity to indulge it although I have to say, my entire family's still craving for it!~ hehe.

That day it rained. And I love rain! weeehee.

♥♥

Just random thought: Would you rather hurt or feel nothing at all?

Maybe it's time to give it a try.

Just deal with it!

2010-11-09T11:11:00.005+08:00

You have so much to deal with in life, that sometimes, you feel that enough, is enough. Be strong, to take on new experiences. Life can be challenging, when you get older, you feel love, hurt and pain, happiness and sadness.

If you are in a relationship, it can either fail or be successful, but, that is also one of your new issues for you. Every day, one has to face up to something new.Whatever happens in your life, it's never planned, in most times, it is something you probably never dreamed off.

A healthy life is to be happy, stress- free and a positive person, think of the good things in life. Be able to ignore the bad comments, or insults, that you may hear while with family or friends. Sometimes people are just plain awful, when they try to spoil your evening, with a conversation, uncalled for.

A person that often brings up the past, is someone, that is holding on to something, that could never be the same again, or is just hanging on to past memories and hasn't moved on, and hasn't accepted life, the way it is at present.

ELDC & stuff

2010-11-06T01:24:00.005+08:00

Been sleeping sooo late for some reasons lately.

Luckily, im done with self-intro flash!

But was assigned to do flash for Graduation Day!!!

PRESSURE!!!

Thank goodness today's Deepavali!!

I miss Maha's mum's Briyani!!

Wanna make it a point to either hit the gym or play sports every week.

The fats on my belly are piling up like pancake.

Okay, gonna work on my storyboard nw.

Peace out!!

Back-up plan

2010-10-17T00:05:00.011+08:00

For some reasons, I'm afraid now that TEP's gonna be over & poly life is comin to an end.

Besides that, soon my friends and I will be going on separate ways. And somehow some will be drifted apart while a few will stay.

I hate the word "alone". But sometimes being alone means independent.

So here I am, shall persevere towards victory and never let the word "alone" get in my way.

Some of the major things I wish to do upon graduation:

Learn to cook (from scratch)
Take up driving license
Find a fixed job with stable income
After all else is fine, take one step at a time to enter the world of teaching!

Carpe Diem! :)

Smells like team spirit

2010-10-16T23:06:00.006+08:00

Heyy! Just got my hair cropped yday. After what seemed like forever. So nice of Piggy to accompany me to the salon. Afterall, she's my best going-home partner! :D Just look at the dog on her cap will make you laugh. So cute!

That aside, TGIF also saw the sharing session; an event to say farewell to the SBM peeps before they move on for their study period. So, sch will be officially reopen on Monday! Welcome new 'colleagues'!

Funny doode from Team 2
Actually pointing to our mascot - the small bird! Okay, FAIL

team 3! the day i had to present in a lecture theatre!

Although sometimes Sheryl, Kalyn, Ben and myself envy Team 2 for their joviality and cheerfulness, we had fun and learnt lotsa new things like data entry & mystery shopping. Also, to overcome stage fright!

Eat pray love

2010-10-08T00:39:00.001+08:00

Caught 'Eat, Pray, Love' with Ben.

It's a feel-good movie, where u can have your fair share of laughter and tears. Very inspiring!

It's abt reconnecting & rediscovering one's true inner self.

One can experience the simple pleasure of life by eating or travelling.

It taught me not to give up on love.

There really is more than one way to let yourself go and see the world!

Shekin, Shireen, Midah & Myself

TGIF yet again! This time, met up with pri sch friends... And it's Children's Day!

Hahah what a way to spend that day!

My virgin try on Shisha!

Apparently, an asthmatic girl like me couldn't take much.

Drank so many sips of water after that!

Anyhoos, Nabins is a nice place to chill out!

After getting high on Shisha, made our way for karaoke session!!

Ben tagged along for the whole nite!

He was sporting enuff to sing malay songs and it was damn perfect!

He could literally catch up with the lyrics & tune!

We even sang Achi Buka Pintu by P.Ramlee!!

And the best part is, Shireen doesn't knw how to sing malay songs!

Contradicting rite? HAHAHA!

Despite that, had truckloads of fun singing our hearts out and blasting to the music...

It doesn't get any better than this!

Being our usual selves, spanking & teasing one another is our forte!

Awesome nite! :D

i need to stop thinkin negative!

Woahhh. A sudden urge to give my fringe for a change. Cos face is growing horizontally like a potato!!! Or better yet, should i leave my hair fringe-less? at least it's not hassle-y!

Ahhh.. this is sooo beautiful ain't it? Nobody has ever said it to me so im gonna self-motivate myself everyday. Love yourself for who you are - time to embrace your flaws! :)

“Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. The real miracle is the love that inspires them. In this sense everything that comes from love is miracle.” - Marianne Williamson

There comes a day i'll understand this.

TEP Newbies!

2010-09-24T00:20:00.000+08:00

Two weeks of TEP have just passed & I must say it's been grt so far. I'm always on time yknw!

The only drawback is stoning at the project lab. That aside, with great company like Sheryl, Ben and Kalyn, my days couldn't be better.

kalyn & sheryl!

On Friday, met up with Mee Leng!!! gosh, it seemed like forever.... missed her so much. hated the fact that we must go on separate ways but the show must go on! haha. she's doing fine in attachment but there are hiccups here & there.. well, you'll be doing fine in no time, girl! :)

Dinner date at City Square Mall! there's so many halal eateries there!

On Mon is Bonding day and I can't wait to get sporty! My entire Team 3 took part..

The theme is SHOE CLINIC idk what isit but sounds like so much fun - with games etc lined up for us! Oh, and Tues & Wed would be Mystery Shopping! weehee.

TEP!

2010-09-16T23:54:00.008+08:00

On Tuesday, headed for my first day of TEP. Was posted to BSC (Business Service Centre) whereas I was hoping for EMRS (Events Management blah..).Those EMRS peeps get to organise events and such. Alas, just not my luck. :[ Anyhoos, need to wake up at 630 am every weekdays!! UGH. And knock off at 5.30pm. Today, at least we did something. Gave out surveys to parents at Lot 1. It was pretty gd initially, but after that, grumpy aunties shunned us! Kalyn and Sheryl were like "Where are all the friendly aunties??". HAHAHA. But on a lighter note, we got to go home early after all is done. Never felt so blissful~

Tomorrow, back to basics again. Sit down and stare at the computer and do data entry and some research. Kalyn and I will always count down for break and time to go home! Lol.

Anyway, these girls made my day after a hard day's work. Had an impromptu dinner at Lot1! Kimchi Noodles is yummy, thanks Midah for promoting it to me although im not into Korean food. ;)

Btw, i suffer breakouts lately. Me dun like! Arghhhhh bad face day, pls go away!

Okay, gonna force myself to hit the sack. Peace out!

Anyway, it was really chaotic with more than thirty guests rocking my house! nonetheless, it was sooooo 'kecoh' - their antics cracked me up! 4 hours passed like wind. After which, another horde of guests from mum's side came.. At the end of the day, my family was all mad tired some of us snored while sleeping!

It was so hilarious all of us laughed like some idiots.

You guys should watch it.

Epic reunion

2010-09-04T01:53:00.001+08:00

What did u get when u meet ppl whom u haven't seen in 7 years or so?

Chances are, you'll get so much craze and would most probably figuring out who's who.

Cos time has really changed us.

Had the most epic reunion EVER with Concord pri sch friends at CK restaurant!

Initially, no doubt there's a tinge of awkwardness within..

But after a while, all of us spent time bursting into peals of laughter and mocking one another of the unglam old times! hahaha.

Despite the food arriving superrr late, it was all worthwhile!

HAHAHA that king kong beside me is my pri 6 partner, Shahid!

Used to sit beside me and crap all day long!

And i cant believe i actually kicked Farhan's butt before! hahahaha.

Did it because Midah told me to do so. Omg how dumb can a pri sch kid be huh? hahah.

Myself, Shireen, Redha & Midah :)

Lastly, 'The 4 dangerous girls". Hahahaha we used to call ourselves that! So much of dangerous huh? When there's cockroach, the first to run is Shireen! and next is me! hahaha.

Ahhh. Never seen myself so happy before.

They say childhood is the best..

Thanks to fb, met these long-lost buddies of mine!

Also, more unflattering photos at there! hahaha.

What me worry?
