music and blogging (:

whines:

i will start to have less of such slack afternoons when school starts.
maybe it's not such a bad thing to pon hall camp altogether.
tho it was fun to watch the freshies get toilet treatment and be drenched in eggs, oyster sauce and other flavours of Woohoo!gossiping with bren about buzz was a highlight too! okie, one reason why im lazy to go for hall camps is 'cause i'm beginning to find it draining to make new friends. im happy with what i have but i know how passivity kills. gees. i have the entire year to get closer to hall people. i gotta correct that attitude. well, it's our last week of hols and school's gonna start. i had better make full use of what's left of the hols to let down my hair and have some fun!
hopefully, alot of friends would be at mambo tho i doubt so.

about mars and venus:

sarah hurlihy is funny and wise. "voluptuous, sensuous, alluring and fun. barely 40 dwf seeks special man to share starlit nights. must love dogs." this is how her sis carol described her in a personal ad she helped to post. sarah tries to take a bold step toward a fresh start but the unexpected bumps are discouraging. it's understandable why she fears to take action even tho the guy sounds keen. failures are hard to cope. and maybe it's the self-protective mechanism again.
i seldom get hooked on light-hearted books about relationships. it seems draggy to read in detail about others' lives and their conversations and whines. so i tend towards tragic biographies. i relate better to those. sad sad emo emo.
but claire cook's so amazingly good that i find it qt hard to peel away from her book.
maybe it's because sarah's worries resonate in me tho i think im qt different.
(even if im half her age, i feel old.
i am less wise, quite a simpleton in fact.)
her character isnt rich or glamorous - she's physically imperfect, emotionally insecure and deeply familiar.
it makes me wonder if mars is really that different from venus. do they have the same insecurities too? im so eager to get to the ending.

Server 2 down
2007-07-30 2:54 AM

We're working on bringing server 2 back online. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.
(Shoutmix)
...........

big cries. my taggie is down ):


today's a fairly happy day:

1. my bestie's BACK! *buttshakes

2. i earned $45

it's interesting (for now) to check out how the
30 somethings spend their sunday evenings.
it ranged from babysitting to partying.
most were teevee-ing. a few working overseas.
i even got to listen to music which ppl download to their mobiles
well, i quite enjoyed chatting up the grannies and uncles who
are somehow not so in touch with their workaholic kids
i could hear that tinge of sadness
and i would never want that to happen.
anyway, work got me thinking about ntu grads.
my pile of alumni ALL had MBA.
almost everyone held senior positions,
owned landed properties and were happily married
(those with kids sounded a bit too stressed tho. ha!)
would my after-grad life be equally smooth sailing?
and i start to worry about those one million and one things...
but anyhow i was glad i had 3 successful pledges.
a grand total of $250. well done, alumni!

3. tuition was cancelled and i had the whole morning to sing "all at once" heh.

daddy tried to join in abit too.guess he likes the tune.
he has to, esp when i replayed it oh-sooo many times!

4. dinner was too filling but good. cause i had bubble tea AGAIN!
and daddy's bld pressure is back to normal!!

5. mummy kissed me last night *wide grins*

explains why i always run home to them when i fall sick in hall,
or miss home too much.
you know it, dada! not that i dont wanna stay hall!
im too reliant. it's bad.
i cant seem to grow up...

6. days are getting better (:
the coming week promises fun though it's the last week of hols.
we should all make the best of it. i must shop soon! how deprived!
there're lotsa ppl i wanna meet too. sat jer(hopefully prawning),
belle (early breakfasts!our fav), suyi (blue rose and curryfishead)
i must add that our very cute suyi went to THIS WRONG webbie and read for 5mins! rofl!
wont forget ur lil surprise on shin's bday! *winks

to sum it all up, it was good. besides sunrise, street lamps are beginning to fascinate me. i like lights.


. . . . . .
will i become like sarah? (must love dogs)


There are certain people you just keep coming back to
She is right in front of you
You begin to wonder could you find a better one
Compared to her now she's in question

And all at once the crowd begins to sing
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same

Maybe you want her, maybe you need her
Maybe you started to compare to someone not there

Looking for the right one you line up the world to find
Where no questions cross your mind
But she won't keep on waiting for you without a doubt
Much longer for you to sort it out

And all at once the crowd begins to sing
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same

Maybe you want her, maybe you need her
Maybe you started to compare to someone not there
Maybe you want it, maybe you need it
Maybe it's all you're running from
Perfection will not come

And all at once the crowd begins to sing
Sometimes
We'd never know what's wrong without the pain
Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same

Maybe you want her, maybe you need her
Maybe you've started to compare to someone not there
Maybe you want it, maybe you need it
Maybe it's all you're running from
Perfection will not come

Maybe you want her, maybe you need her
Maybe you had her, maybe you lost her to another
To another

-all at once, the fray-


blogging has become more than a habit. im so into my blog. heh
today's the first day of the phonathon exercise.
hope it's not too tough work for 9bucks an hr.

. . . . . .

ive got to get a move on with my life.it's time to be a big girl now.
and big girls dont cry ...
fairy tales dont always have a happy ending, do they? < fergie >
seems like it's not too difficult to let go.

. . . . . .

Well, I know that it's early
And it's too hard to think.
And the broken empty bottles
Are reminder in the sink.
But I thought that I should tell you
If it's not to late to say.
I can put back all the pieces
They just might not fit the same.

Cause nothing's worth losing
Especially the chance to make it right.

And I know that we're gonna be fine.
And the tattooed mistakes
Are gonna fade over time.
As long as we live, time passes by.
And we won't get it back when we die.

Well I know it's been years now
And I don't look the same.
And the hopes and dreams you had for me
You thought went down the drain.
And the room feels so empty
where my pictures used to be.
And I can't say that I blame you,
But you can't blame me.

Cause nothing's worth losing
Especially the chance to make it right.

And I know that we're gonna be fine.
And the tattooed mistakes
Are gonna fade over time.
As long as we live, time passes by.
And we won't get it back when we die.

Come over.
Come over.

Cause I gotta know,
If I am doing this all on my own.

Come over.
Come over.

How can I show you if you're not here?

And I know that we're gonna be fine.
And the tattooed mistakes
Are gonna fade over time.
As long as we live, time passes by.
And we won't get it back when we die.

And I know that we're gonna be fine.
(and I know that we're gonna be fine)
And the tattooed mistakes
Are gonna fade over time.
As long as we live, time passes by.
And we won't get it back when we die.

Come over.
Come over.

Come over.
Come over.
Come over.
Come over.
(I gotta know)
And we won't get it back when we die.
(well, I know that it's early...)

-bowling for soup, when we die


it's amazing how ive transformed to be sucha big sleepyhead. i have truly honed the ability to sleep anywhere, anytime. my gangmateys must have seen how unglam i was ):

we met and ate at crystal jade tho we went to the wrong one (kitchen) but thankfully, qq was late so we still got to eat XLB! slurps! then, we roamed ard holland v, our fav hangout back in ac. i bought lil miss quick, mr nosey (it's a lil pressie, partly from mark!) and my ziggy zebra pencil!!! *YAY* then shin went of to church and qq drove us to mark's BEAUTIFUL house which we havent seen since cny!! it's been half a year! he has a pool table now! and before we knew it, it was time to say goodbye. (lol.castor's inside joke) tho i couldnt really appreciate Harry Potter, (okie...his million of fans out there, stop screaming at me!) it was fun just catching up, eating ice cream and cam-whoring! take care at taiwan, mark! gang mateys, hope we can dinner often!

. . . (photos will be uploaded once i get them from mark). . .
i love my books!


hari ini mendung. but saya gembira.

* off to meet my beloved gang mateys!
for crystal jade (drools ALOT) and mind's!
. . .

i cant wait to dive into my three new books! off to the lib first.
that kepala kentang has inspired me to start and love reading again.
many thanks to mark haddon too, for his fantastic insight into autistic kids in "the curious incident of the dog in the night-time". a great read (:


sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same (all at once, the fray)

how true. i never knew, till today, that admitting your mistakes in front of a person can be so difficult. it's lil wonder why many would choose the easier way out-to escape or to ignore. but the latter isnt a choice for me, since i'll probly live in guilt if i let another person take the blame for my childish behaviour.

all i can say is, thank you for being so understanding. and thank you for letting me treat. it was only the right thing to do.
but it was great seeing you again.

. . .
i've three books that i cant wait to start reading. if only i didnt have those fines.blea
1. the alchemist (yes, i know im laggin)
2. veronika decides to die
3. must love dogs

. . .



castor's cutest creation - the photoframe!


surprise surprise!
i cant believe i did up my own blog. three pats on my back! GREAT JOB!
wanted to delete all the past entries but ive decided that they brought back memories of how i felt at certain points of my life so i shall leave them. moreover im not comfortable sharing this blog with alot of ppl yet. so it's okayy to let my close friends read my silly posts. (: blogging can be alot of fun!
. . .

i've been procrastinating alot recently. for starters, it's been close to a week that i left DND biz mag stuff untouched.then there's malay, i think i havent really made any significant progress since lesson7! and it's been ages since i visited grandma and grandpa. but there are some stuff that i just cant avoid. say tom, i'm gonna meet a good friend of 4yrs (and counting? hopefully..) to confess a very bad thing that i have done because i was being the typical childish me. i seriously have no idea how you would react to the news. ): pls at least understand that i never wanted things to turn out this way and i've been trying to make up for it. sorry ):

. . .

i hope the sun shines for me again.
and bestie, i miss you!ALOT! *shakes butt! cant wait to show u MY BLOG!loves!
