Faith [23 Nov 2009|03:14am]
I'm still thinking if I shld get the nude peep-toed pumps from bc. Backorders closing tmr. Oh well, not important I guess :)

My days are getting better and better and I'm grateful for that. Woke up in the morn, brunch at home before heading to neighbour's place for a short but intensive study session. Headed home around 330 and met mich in the evening for our modern jazz dance class. We spent more than half the lesson doing stretching, which I completely failed. Time to do sth about it. Anyw, we learnt a few basic jazz footworks and hand movements. It has a tinge of ballet movements and I totally adore it. I've been interested in jazz dance (highly inspired by hush hush -pcd) and thank God I found someone to acc me to take up this absolute beginner's class. To find someone who shares the same passion in dancing is not hard, but someone who is willing to execute and reach out to that passion, is not easy. But I managed to find mich! Hope she enjoys it as much as I do :) I'm looking forward to the next lesson and hopefully we can learn some spinning. I've tried learning via YouTube but it didn't really work you see.

After dance class, we went for dinner then back to tamp to study. Was rather tired, did a bit of easy reading. Took quite some time to absorb a little here and there. We had one last supper at macs before walking home at 2am. I love my study buddy! And it's awesome that we live so near to each other. My 2 awesome neighbours :)

We shall switch back to healthy living and slping hrs tmr onwards. I'm quite contented w everything now. I'm looking fwd to dinner w joce and friends this thurs after my first paper, then church on sat and dance on sun :) After which would be the toughest period- 3 papers on 2 consecutive days (mon and tue), rest and party on wed, and finally last paper on Friday. Yay then it'll be piano, flute and Christmas! :)

Life is amazing :)

In love w You [22 Nov 2009|02:13am]
I'm on my bed now, preparing to slp. But before I do, as always, I always lie on my bed for like 15mins or so, doing nth else but just thinking. Either about the day I had, or missing someone or about the activities planned for after exams, or what should I have done which I have not.. yada yada.

But today, I got reminded of sth really sweet. Joce and I are supposed to meet at 1030. I overslept and she needed to print sth so we happened to be late tog. And I managed to catch the train she took from pasir ris at tamp. Perfect timing. We had brunch together, had some HTHT (heart-to-heart-talk). After which she looked at me, smiling, and said sth which really touched my heart. I heard such sincerity telling me that I just needa find my confidence back.

While we were studying, she suddenly took out a small round Tupperware and said she's sth for me. She actually brought a small doughnut out from home as she thought that choc could somehow brighten up my day, knowing that I've been feeling rather down the past few days. Such sweetness, I'm utterly thankful and at the same time, ashamed of myself.

She told me about her childlike faith.

And it struck me. Have I been living my life without meaning, or have I been habouring the wrong wants and needs all along? Have I been true to myself and able to look back and say things like, yea if I were given a second chance, I will still live my life like this. This, I would say, enlightenment made me realised many things. And I shall set aside tonight for the thinking :)




I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

Open mind [21 Nov 2009|11:50pm]
Had a great day :)

Firstly, again, to all the people mugging hard (or not) for their exams and dreading (or not) this period, ALL THE BEST MAN! It's gonna be over soon!! I havent met anyone who ends later than me yet, so yea. :D

Secondly, for those working so hard and neglecting their health, seriously, take care pls cos health is equally impt, I swear. Don't regret only when you're losing it, and I mean losing the very last bit of it. :( One of my ex-colleagues has been hospitalized due to lungs failure (I dont know what exactly caused it). Really sad cos I have nv knew of his conditions and he's been so hard on himself, taking a few jobs to support his lifestyle. Well, at least he lives the life he wants to and I know he would not regret. I really, really pray that nth bad would befall upon him and he'll get well soon. Loves.

As mentioned, I've had a lovely day. Woke up early in the morn to meet Joce for brunch and a bit of mugmode. It was a relaxed and happy one so I'm really contented :) Couldnt do most of the questions for pyp but oh well :) Joce's friend joined us a lil later and we went to her church for service. The Pastor for the NTU group is a really nice and funny guy. I'm glad that I'm able to join them with an open mind and be guided and led by the friendly people in church. :) Dad came to fetch me after that and we headed down to Honjin for my brother's birthday dinner :) Back now but I dont feel like studying, just wanna relax myself and enjoy life. Life is amazing :)

Gonna meet Mich tmr for dance and mugmode overnight at Airport if things go as planned. Shall play by ear. Goodnight world, Adios! :)

Mugs [21 Nov 2009|02:35am]
Just got back from neighbour's place not long ago. As mentioned, teadot chases ppl away on weekends so no teadot-ing today. Instead, I braved thru the rain crossed the road and headed to neighbour's house for some mugmode. I think it's rather good cos I managed to study like a few chapters :) (though it's more of recap and pyp-ing). When the sian-ness sets in, I still gotta watch neighbour's display of his talents. A mini flute and piano recital :) oh, and when it's dinnertime, I merely have to cross the road and back home I am for dinner and tv before heading back for more. Great day. Thanks neighbour! :)


Last night was omg. I learnt how to play poker, finally. Supposed to study w tc but I guess I over-estimated myself. just couldn't stay focus anymore at night so we went to zee's place. Yea and the rest were history. But melikes. :)


All right meeting joce tmr morning for some books then to her church, followed by bro's bd dinner at honjin, my fave Japanese restaurant for the past 10 years (no kidding) and still counting. Yay :)

Anyw for those who's paper starts tmr, all the best! :)


Adios.

Horoscope [19 Nov 2009|12:49pm]
Okay come back to you later regarding the fascinating truths I found in horoscope readings. Never believed in it cos like what Kevin said, I always tell people who try to reading horoscope to me off cos did they actually mean that the rest of the millions who are of the same horoscope as me are like this? Last night, I was convinced and yea, they might be right. But kev says the horoscopes are made in a way that it seems true for everyone. Dont think so. Just take a look at Pisces and Aquarius. Totally mismatch. An aquarius will find pisces too emotional to handle and would not want to waste time attending to the emotional needs of the pisces. They themselves are not emotional, maybe a facade yes but generally, not at all. Ok what I'm trying to say here is there are different traits in different people having different horoscope. Find me an aquarius who is more sensitive and emotional than Yours Truly and I'll give you a billion bucks. Okay obviously I'm gonna win cos I can claim whatever I like to. BLEH.

I'm going to study alr BYE!

2012 [18 Nov 2009|02:11am]
With regards to the previous post, I am still not convinced. Maybe I should take the first sentence into deeper consideration, "both are not totally in love" yet. I don't know but I guess that's why I lost. All right different people love differently, that's all I can say :)

Anyways, went teadot-ing again w mich. Studied very minimal cos I was rather distracted by small things like, wifi not working, not sitting at usual place, the music from the arcade 2 levels above, etc. But it's definitely better than staying home.

Was about to leave at dinner time and tc called. Apparently his gf watched 2012 and told him it's vv nice and he wanted to watch. I was kinda looking fwd to that show, wanted to watch w mom but she seems to be busy lately. And he's willing to watch at tamp, so why not. Anyway I didn't plan to study anymore. Wanted to head home for dinner and penguins papa. Haha.

I think 2012 was up to my expectation, nothing more and nothing less. But the catastrophies happened too fast and furious. It's like, within a matter of mins the whole California's gone. Woah. Oh well, at least it has a good ending and unlike Knowing (the movie starring Nicholas Cage) where you know, no survival plus there're some aliens kind. So depressing to watch.

2012. There're so many sayings about it even now. YouTube has videos made by believers all over the whole. After the movie, I was like telling tc maybe the govt have already started on building the arks and selling the green ticket at 1 billion euros per pair. I mean, the movie has successfully instilled such (which sounds nonsensical) thoughts in me. In the movie, the govt kept everyone in the dark because it's definitely not possible to save everyone on earth. And everyone lives their life as usual, like how we're liig ours now. Hahahahaha ok pls ignore me.

Better day tmr. Nights :)

HAPS [17 Nov 2009|08:49pm]

Was talking to Amos and he gave me the weirdest advice ever.

His theory:

"Unless both are totally in love, the power in a relationship lies with the person who cares less. You lost when you cared more."


I'm totally not convinced. It's more like a "Tips and Tricks for Players", I feel.

Fingerprints of God - Steve Curtis Chapman


I can see the tears filling your eyes
And I know where they're coming from
They're coming from a heart that's broken in two
By what you don't see
The person in the mirror
Doesn't look like a magazine
Oh but when I look at you
It's clear to me

That I can see the fingerprints of God
When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of God
And I know it's true
You're a masterpiece that all creation
Quietly applauds
And you're covered with
The fingerprints of God

Never has there been and never again
Will there be another you
Fashioned by God's hand and perfectly planned
To be just who you are
And what He's been creating
Since the first beat of your heart
Is a living, breathing
Priceless work of art

And I can see the fingerprints of God
When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of God
And I know it's true
You're a masterpiece that all creation
Quietly applauds
And you're covered with
The fingerprints of God

Just look at you
You're a wonder in the making
And God's not through
In fact, He's just getting started!




Thanks Daph for the song :)

Teadot-ing [16 Nov 2009|04:16pm]

Last night, while waiting for Zee's nice bro to pick us up from Siglap, I told them in a very serious tone,

"I'm going to delete fb."

"GO AHEAD! AS IF YOU WILL.." was the reaction from both of them.

NOBODY BELIEVES ME! Okay obviously this thought was random and I just randomly said it and expecting some random response from them. Okay sorry, it's just random.

I'm kinda tired of posting photos on fb though its rather hassle-free but oh well. Anyways, here we are at Teadot once again. Mich and I. It's really nice to study here on weekdays cos it's "legal". You will get chased away on weekends. Poor life of a student. Libraries are always full w that pathetic number of seats. NTU is too far for me and Mac's, too noisy. Home? Is for sleeping. So yea :)

I stayed home on Sat and ended up slping away. Mom managed to persuade me to go to some temple dinner w her but I didnt regret it cos I got to see my godma and little "cousins" here and there. Cute little kids though they can be realllly pampered. Kids nowadays are too fortunate. Maids, psp, ds lite.. like free sia. I wouldn't wanna pamper my kids in future so much. But then again, its hard to say. We'll see.

I've concluded that going Taiwan in Dec is freaking ex. It goes up to 900per ticket kind omg, plus lodgings and stuff? Zee's bro has a friend who's a local there and may be able to help us in finding good lodgings and stuff. AND I just realised I've a Sg friend working there now. BUT, so freaking ex cannot afford man. Maybe shall leave the plan to next year. AND! Carol commented that the price for Penang kinda doubled. Thanks ah seems like my plans in Dec are gonna be damn bohua-ed. Time for Plan B.

Hokays going back to books. Mich just bought Mr Bean for us yay :D

[16 Nov 2009|12:36am]

and when one peeks. their eyes meet.
a sort of love so pure. hearts so meek.

watching out. looking by.
flick of the hair. saying goodbye.

ponder. yonder. when will i see her.
'morrow, 'morrow. my heart will so dear.

days gone by. lovely hi-s.
full of glitters in the eye.

term ends. and parting too.
love so pure. the meeting of two.

of when we first met years ago
i wouldn't claim that i would know
 
that sometime seventy two months later on
we might talk and end in a song

of irritations and curiosity stints
and yesteryear of embarrassing flints
 
but now we know that a friendship dear
might blossom from youthful thoughts still clear.


so as the little one sleeps sweet dear,
i pray that the angels watch over near
upon her that no bad dreams veer
towards beautiful her under a night so clear

and that she'd wake to a day so full
of joys so many, while at school.
the little things - red roses and blue
will keep her smiling with love so true.

calm the heart.
and leave the burdens to my part
for then you will see
the love and of the beautiful might-be-s
and the future that might come our way, so amazing.
that time will tell. a good summer bell.

there are no supposed to-s
just only self-expected to do-s
so take it light and sweet.
and dont bother to reply in beat
for my words are for you only

doesnt matter if you do it to me
just as long as the smile finds your face
that matters most of the phrase.


as the wind whispers through the night
the stars of good hope shining bright
that we yonder of what may and what might
be the life we hold so tight

and only time will tellof all that might be well
within where two hearts gel
together and love of which we fell

i love you. no matter what might seem
whether or not I continue to beam
and I wonder what time will eventually deem
as a good end for us both a dream

This thing called Love. [16 Nov 2009|12:17am]

I WANNA GO TAIWAN. Just checked the prices online. December rates, as usual, so much more exp. BO HUA. Anyway, I should have expected it but I was still secretly hoping that I would happen to chance upon some special discounted rates for limited time only you know what I mean. AND I realised Tigers dont do Taiwan. That's so weird.

Zee and I are keeping out first chocie Taiwan, then Hong Kong or Penang or Bali or whatever. I just feel like leaving things behind. Carol's gg Penang and she said it's a really nice place, unlike any other parts of Malaysia. Someone told me that before and my reaction was like, whatttt. Not really convinced but now even Carol says so, and Zee's bro agreed too. So I think no harm trying I wouldnt wanna miss out anything nice :)

I'm starting to make plans for December and I wanna live this Dec to my fullest. And if all else fails, no worries cos I can just work like mad again like how I did for my last holiday. Earn and spend and just be happy :)

Though it's nightime, I dont feel as bad as the previous nights. Maybe, the feeling of officially allowing myself to let go and making things clear is better than being left hanging and wondering what's next. I'm someone who needs to be well assured for things, even endings. What has to be done next may be obvious, but I would still choose to know. It will definitely hurt a lot at that instant BUT, it makes me move on, hmm I wouldnt say faster, but rather, easier.

This thing, called love, and I just, cant handle it. (Crazy Little Thing Called Love - Queen)

Ever since Amos sent me this song it kept ranging in my head. Awesome man. And this:

It's been a hard day's night, I've been working, like a dog.
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping, like a log.


Was at Zee's house on Fri night after Blu Jazz and we started rockband-ing on The Beatles' version. That's why.

Downloaded a few nice oldies but my heart cringed when I heard, Let's Fall In Love (Nat King Cole). So I stopped playing the whole list, knowing what's gonna happen next. I cant help it cos I'm very, very sensitive.

OKAY YOU GOTTA START STUDYING. 10 MORE DAYS TO EXAMS. 3 MORE WEEKS. NO DISTRACTIONS. Yea right. Went out to Siglap Starbucks to study w Casey. Not that I cannot focus, just that the sudden flu and swollen eye (due to infection) kept me really distracted. Not good. Zee joined us and yea trio dined and chilled and talked. Love life being so chillax-y. Too bad not everyday's a sunday and I'm back to reality. Oh wells. Such is life, Xian's fave quote.

Save my soul. [13 Nov 2009|02:02am]
Had a crazy week and the craziness shall end today. Tmr marks a new beginning. And the it begins with mugging for exams. Nice :)

Had my Spanish oral today, and submitted lab report proj. 2 huge loads of my mind. Went SMU to meet Carol for supposedly mugging, Aston's and movie date. But we ended up gg to Bugis for malahuoguo, then Ah Chew for some watermelon sago, then met a few of her friends for supper at 85.

Spanish was okay, didnt really make any huge mistakes but some groups were really awesome man, especially Aman's. Their acting skills are like woohoo! Okay anyway, Carol booked a study room. I tried very hard but just couldnt stay focus for some-of-you-know-what-reasons. My mind kept wandering off. And this is NOT GOOD with my exams just around the corner. GULPS. Hurry be gone, be gone. I'm stronger than this. Wanted to meet Laode to get flute from him (CAROL! NOT FRUIT AH!), but in the end went supper and stuff and was quite late to meet him. Maybe I'll get from him tmr at Blu Jazz or sth. Hmm. Ahhh be gone, be gone. It's so hard to stay focused when it kept running back to me.

Fung's gg UK next sem, Steph's gg California, Mu's gg Portugal.

GG.


Urg, gg. I hate this word. Generation Gap. Damn you.

Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow [11 Nov 2009|10:28pm]

Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly
Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
Will you love me tomorrow?

Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure?
Can I believe the magic of your sighs?
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Tonight with words unspoken
And you say that I'm the only one, the only one, yeah
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning star?

I'd like to know that your love
Is love I can be sure of
So tell me now, cause I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow?




I love this song.

Spanish oral tmr, wish me luck man.

OKAY AS YOU CAN SEE IM CAPS-LOCKING COS IM VERY STRESSED NOW AND I CANT HELP IT. CRACKING MY BRAIN OVER LAB, OMG, OF ALL THINGS, LAB!!! I'M BORN TO BE BAD WITH IT. WHAT TO DO? SIGH.

Had Spanish listening today. Didnt really study for it as I thought it was ONLY listening. Yup, as a matter of fact, it was JUST listening, nothing much to study, I swear. BUT I still screwed it up. Why? Por que? Because it was stupidshit-ly fast okay like rapping! What? Sorry I'm getting a lil cranky cos it's way past my bedtime. And talking about bedtimings, I've been trying to slp before 12 for the past few days. I didnt successfully fall aslp but I've been resting my body from that time onwards. Thus my body starts resisting badly when it gets late and stuff. Good or bad, you tell me.

I still prefer livejournal afterall. Havent really tried wordpress though I really wanted to since there's an iPhone app on it. BUT. CSS drives me crazy. I want it to be easy on the eyes, simple. But I just couldnt do it. And blog is like, I feel bimbotic using it cos somehow it makes me feel like writing bimbotic stuff. AHAHAHA. It's just me okay, totally not talking about bloggers in general. And I have somehow lost the vibes to writing ever since I moved there. Bad bad bad. I love life! Cheers:)

Life in Technicolour [01 Jul 2009|02:56am]
I realised I dont really post anymore after I lost my iphone. Plus I sent my sonybaby for servicing after it kinda cranked up, I'm left with a lousy phone which hangs every now and then and my 2nd gen ipod. With no camera and pictures, I dont really feel like blogging. How amazing, cos even with them, I will be lazy to upload but I'll feel like writing here stuff. Just those random stuff. Oh wells.

I've given up all hopes on the spare phone which I've been using till now. 90% of the calls would make the phone hang and it seemed like I'd rudely hang up on the line. The remaining 10% makes up of me, asking the person to repeat him/herself after the phone regained consciousness and all I could hear is the person on the other line blabbering halfway, not knowing wad had happened. It's so damn irritating. iphone 3gs, when are you coming out man? Sigh.

Anyway, I've been attacked by allergy reaction again. Damned.
Recently my life has been a more eventful one, compared to weeks ago.
I've met up with quite a lot of my friends, and a handful of them coming back soon in July/Aug, and 21st, working etc etc.
Havent stopped watching Korean dramas though. I'm at my like, 3847637849 dramas thus far. Currently hooked on Shining Inheritance, which hasnt been fully released yet so I'm waiting for it patiently, 2 episodes in 1 week. Meanwhile, watching Family's Honor. Have finished Who Are You, Boys Over Flower, Delightful Girl Choon Hyang, Iljimae, She's 19, and a few which I cant rmb.

Haha. Though I get bored of almost anything else, but not korean dramas. Not just yet I guess. Though the plot and stuff, always along the same line, but I still love it. And my ipod is full of OSTs. Loving it. :)
