Flavour of the day..

White Horse
Taylor Swift
Say you're sorry
That face of an angel comes out
Just when you need it to
As I pace back and forth all this time
'CauseI honestly believed in you
Holding on, the days drag on
Stupid girl I should have known
I should have known
That I'm not a princess
This ain't a fairytale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood
This is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now its too late for you and your White Horse
To come around
Baby I was naïve, got lost in your eyes
I never really had a chance
My mistake I didn't know to be in love
you had to fight to have the upper hand.
I had so many dreams about you and me
Happy endings..
Now I knowI'm not a princess
This ain't a fairytale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood
This is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now its too late for you and your White Horse
To come around
And there you are on your knees
Begging for forgiveness,
Begging for me
Just like I always wanted
But I'm so sorry
Cause Im not your princess
This aint a fairytale
Im gonna find someone, some day
Who might actually treat me well
This is a big world
That was a small town
There in my rearview mirror
Disappearing now
And it's too late for you and your White Horse
Now its too late for you and your White Horse
To catch me now
Oh whoa whoa whoa-oh
Try and catch me now
Whoa-Oh
It's too late
To catch me now

Post #31455

Yeah right...
As if I had blogged that many times... *sigh*
Ohhhh Merry Christmas!!!
It's the 4th day after Christmas so that leaves us another 8 more days to be jolly, holly and merry! (that's corny)

Wonder what you guys had gotten for Xmas?
I didn't receive many presents this year, I believe Father Santa is cutting cost.. *humph*
So instead of what I had fervently wished for (which is way beyond mine or anyone's ,I know), I had gotten something sweet and sincere from my baby. *smugz*
He gave me a cross pendant with a chain to go along!
It came in a sweet baby blue box with a red silk ribbon. Normally it comes with a white ribbon but I guess red is used for the festive season and yes it's from Tiffany!
My baby had gotten me the Picasso Tenderness Cross!
Oooh.. juz that sight of that makes me esctastic! *blush*

I had been aiming for that necklace since last year but has never got down to getting it.
Like I had said before, it is merely a "want", not a "need" thus I couldn't bear with my money for something so frivolous...
And now I got it! Hehehe...

Had not really wore it except on Christmas Eve when I attended Midnight Mass with my baby.
My very first time attending Midnight Mass too... To tell you the truth, I was really tired for I ain't those night owls. I really gotten to have 8 hours sleep per day.
I was really struggling to stay awake, and luckily my baby was around to make sure I had a good time. Am really looking forward to many more in the future...

2009 is coming in a couple of days' time.
Ermmm I had not make any resolutions yet. Brain dead again..
Will think about it tomorrow or on the 31 since I will get half day off from work (or so I heard!)
Or, I believe there is still enuff time to think about my resolutions on 31 evening. Hohoho....

Now back to more doses of beauty sleep!
Tattas... (*_*)

Dear Mr. Santa

Dear Mr. Santa,
how have you been? I have been missing you! The last time you came by was around 365 days ago and things had changed.
In case you come in the middle of the night, do not be startled by the mass construction that is going around my estate. Yesss, very soon we are getting our very own lift that stops right at my doorstep! This is known as upgrading, in case you don't know that, Mr. Santa but then again I believe you already knew. Nobody and nothing can escapes your watchful eyes. *sigh*

I believe I had been good. *crosses my fingers in a desperate bid*
Not really that good but somewhat there.. The average good, you know....
I'm somewhat good coz I still managed to resist the urge to spurge my money on nonsensical stuff. Instead I had been diligently paying off my study loans. I only shop during sales and I wouldn't buy anything more than fifty bucks. *it's tough but I survived..*
I have cut down my party nights, my intake of alcohol and nicotine, instead I have been spending more quality time with my loved ones.
I have finally learned to cook a bit there and there.. *my poached chicken fillets were that good okies* and help to do my share of housework...
And I'm greener! I bring my own shopping bag most of the time I need to shop for groceries; my family cut down on air-con at nights (that helped save on the electric bills)and we recycled most papers and plastic containers.. Hohohoho..
I hold my tongue and cut down on my razor sharp comments coz I'm taught that it's superficial to get upset over things or people that do not matter to me. I do not roll my eyes or make tsk sounds whenever a spoilt brat displays his/her audacity in public. I do not curse the parents of those spoilt brats under my breath anymore, instead I give them a pitying look as if to say, "a pet would be more fitting for you."
I had been good coz I had learned to differentiate between good and not-so-good-for-me buddies. I had distanced myself form those energy-sapping people or those who simply treat me as their ticket to free meals..
I'm good coz I had finally found a person who could tolerate my princessy attitude yet still love me willingly. *wide grin* Yeah I'm good..

Mr. Santa, do you think I gonna deserve a present this year?
Can I ask what could it be? Does it come in a black box with white ribbon and letterings or a blue box with blue ribbon? Hehehe...

Oh Mr. Santa, just to let you know when you come by on the 24, I decided to put out two slices of plain white bread instead of cookies for you. I can never be assured of the ingredients that goes into making cookies nowadays.. Dun wish that you would fall sick after eating cookies..

Tatas...

Wanting all but needing none...

I feel so ashamed that I cried...

Was surfing the net ever since I came back from work..
Skipped dinner juz coz mummy dearest did not cook my share of the rice and too lazy to buy for one self from the market downstairs
Apparently MacDelivery does not exist in my dictionary (it's frigging ex! I'm too damned cheapo to pay that extra top up coz I merely want a Machicken *bleah*)

Drooling over Chanel bags in a particular blog, I resisted the urge to immediately call my baby and *bambi eyes* and *tear like a damsel in distress* and *whimper* in my softest, most gentle tones that I do want a Chanel 2.55 classic medium with silver hardware in white caviar leather(see how precisely I am..) for X'mas. Or how about a limited edition cabas tote in brown leather? *loud sigh* But I did not. I know he is busy at work, settling some stuff before he fly off to China for more stuff. I could not just bring upon him more shit. My poor baby had not even eaten (wait a minute, neither did I! blah!)

My parents were in the living room watching TV and at times, I was attracted by the sounds outside. I stood in the small non-existent hallway and watched along with them. There was this show, Life Transformer, hosted by Quan Yifeng and Christopher Lee.
Some program about helping the poor whom might be living in accommodation that might not be so 'accommodating". The program profiled a certain Mr. Lai, only sole breadwinner of the family. His two daughters committed suicide and the eldest daughter was badly affected by their deaths. She was dazed and brooding inside her room when the crew showed up at her house. The eldest son (or was the 2nd son?!) was somewhat pleased to see the gang at his house, smiling sheepishly and repeating his words every now and then. Mr. Lai, in his seventies goes around collecting unwanted stuff so that he could sell for a mere few dollars. His health ain't so good and so is Mrs. Lai. Both have medical bills outstanding. He claimed that they do not cook extensively at home because they could not bear the gas bills and mostly they survive on instant noodles. At times, they could have "better" stuff, defined as those $2 or $3 "mixed veggie mixed rice".
When I heard that, my heart dropped... What I had find plain and boring, bland to my liking, edible only when I force myself to make do when there is no better choices (sushi, Ashtons, Subway blah blah). And there I'm crying and shedding tears coz this stranger before me, inside the telly, is mourning over the loss of his daughters and treasuring the fact that a $2 mixed rice palate means so much to him. I am so ashamed...

Mr. Lai has gone through the deaths of 2 daughters, his only surviving daughter is keeping to herself, seemingly to be in her own lost world. His one son is overseas, working as an odd job labourer, another son here but not being able to work nor take care of himself. A grand daughter born from one of the late daughter, is distancing herself from the house, staying out late. He lacks a humane contact, nobody seem to understand him nor cared about about him. Yet he has to go through each and everyday, surviving just because there are 4 others dependent on him...

I am such a pampered bitch, not knowing nor treasuring how lucky I am. I cried. Here I am, coveting some ridiculous overpriced leather whereas on the other side of the isl, there is some poor soul wondering when will his next meal come. I am so ashamed. I am supposed to be a strict diet of no shopping, no bags, no shoes yet I'm breaking every rule hard and fast.
I am conceited and arrogant. I am brash and and hardened. I have no soul. I am so ashamed...
I had forgotten to give back to the poor and needy for this festive season, or even for all the 4 seasons...

I stopped my net surfing after the program and reflected abit. I was a real idiot. No more wishful thinking (for X'mas). I realised that if money spent on a Chanel is spent elsewhere, it would be more beneficial instead. I need a decent house for the future; my future. I dun think I can stay in a Chanel bag. I dun think a Chanel can help me get a roof over my head if I intend to have a happy ever after ending with my baby. I know it's sooo nice to be able to receive a black box with white ribbons, 6 lovely white emblossed letters that spell CHANEL, sending me into a breathless ecstasy BUT... (this BUT is really important) I just can't afford a Chanel 2.55 now.
I dun wish to divert from my priorities and make my baby suffer. I dun wish to let him have the burden of supporting the family when I'm frittering my money on lavish bags. I dun wish my baby to cut his expenditure and live frugally when I' m throwing money to my favourite SAs in Orchard.
I should stop behaving like a spoiled brat now...

And now as I end my blog, I mentally make a note that I should be more thrifty now. I should think about the community and give back some, as much as I can.

* PEACE TO THE WORLD *

Shucks I am soooooo lazy...
I can't even think now..
My brains are fried to the crisp and the only thing on my mind is, "What should I get for Xmas?!" (besides the usual how to clear MY workload but that's another blog together)
I'm sooooo in the holiday mood that I bought a mini Xmas wreath for my desk. Was contemplating bringing a stocking too but I seriously do not want the office gang to make off with my cutsy sock or worse, treat it as a dustbin and starting throwing paper inside.
Yessss, that's how much love there is in the office for me... Hohoho

This year, I have my baby to celebrate Xmas with; and I'm soo excited about it! (see how I'm gushing now)
It's our first celebration and I do hope there is definitely more to come..
I had not gotten his prezzie yet since it is relatively easy to get. (Read my earlier posts to see what I'm getting) I think I will just opt for the lazy way:wait til the very last few days prior to Xmas and rush to Orchard and get it. If I do shop now, I'm gonna waste away my money on unnecessary cute and expensive things (ie Chanel sunglasses & Prada keychains). Money is very hard to earn, you know and I was not born with a silver spoon. I believe I was born naked and without wrenching any cutlery.. Hmmm

Well my baby had asked me what do I want for X'mas? I seriously I do not know. I have many wants. I just hope he can ask me a more constructive question such as " what do you want for Xmas if I'm buying for you and you don't have to worry about the price?" or "what do you want for Xmas but I have a budget of only $xxx?" or "what do you want for Xmas if there's no limit to what I can buy?!"
Please note, the first and third questions are of two different meaning. *Sighz*

For a start I want a lot of things, many things, all the pretty things in the world. I'm greedy and shameless; note to mention superficial! Hohoho
To end the start, my wants are not justified. *double sighz*
Money could be put to better use in paying off my study loans rather than getting cute and expensive sunglasses. *sighz + a whine*
Money should be saved for rainy days instead of indulging on logo emblossed bags. *signz + a tear shedded*
I should be more pratical instead of giving me baby a hard time in getting me gifts.

Okies here's my wish list (if he is paying any attention to it, duh)
1. Chanel 2.55 Classic Double Flap (peach with gold hardware or white with silver hardware)
2. Chanel lambskin wallet (black or pink)
3. White X'mas (typical of me to wish for this every year)
4. Happines for my baby and me! (eenuff said)
5. Bali Holiday for my birthday (well I'm early for next year, ain't I?!)
6. Mac the PC, not Mac the burger....

Le Premier Bonheur du Jour

Le Premier Bonhuer du Jour
(Paroles: Frank Gérald / Musique: Jean Renard, 1963) (Lyrics: Frank Gérald / Music: John Renard, 1963) Françoise Hardy (France) Françoise Hardy (France)

C'est un ruban de soleil
Qui s'enroule sur ta main
Et caresse mon épaule
C'est le souffle de la mer
Et la plage qui attend
C'est l'oiseau qui a chanté
Sur la branche du figuier
Le premier chagrin du jour
C'est la porte qui se ferme
La voiture qui s'en va
Le silence qui s'installe
Mais bien vite tu reviens
Et ma vie reprend son cours
Le dernier bonheur du jour
C'est la lampe qui s'éteint


THE FIRST DAY OF HAPPINESS

The first day of happiness
It is a ribbon of sunshine
Onto your hand
And caress my shoulder
It is the breath of the sea
And the beach waiting
It is the bird that sang
On the branch of the fig
The first day of sorrow
This is the door that closes
The car goes
The silence that settles
But you come back soon
And my life goes on
The last day of happiness
It is the lamp which turns off

The heart

The heart, alive with emotions fragile as glass..
The heart cries but without noise; who can hear its screams?
The heart bleeds as if it was a burst dam flowing ferociously
The heart, devoid of a humane touch is nothing more than a cold lump..

My heart, puzzled at other hearts' cruelty
Was made a laughing stock
My heart was kicked and bruised
My heart, nothing more than a jester
Made to lift smiles on the unfeeling
My heart, jaded from all this unnecessary games

Her heart, reaching out to the unknown
Unknown was only punishment which mercilessly enveloped her
Her heart tasted cynical words which she assumed was love
Her heart believed pathetic lies
Which even fools could see beyond
Her heart, jaded from all those iniquity

The heart, cold and lifeless
Pained and crippled
The heart struggles to breath
Living is such a torment
If only the heart could skip a beat

In This Life (Delta Goodrem)

IN THIS LIFE
I was nurtured I was sheltered I was curious and young I was searching for that something Trying to find it on the run Oh and just when I stopped looking I saw just how far I'd come In this life In this life
You give me love You give me light Show me everything that's been happening I've opened up my eyes Following Three steps fight an honest fight Two hearts that can start a fire One love is all I need In this life
I have faltered I have stumbled I have found my feet again I've been angry I've been shaken Found a new place to begin My persistence to make a difference Has led me safe into your hands In this life In this life
You give me love You give me light Show me everything that's been happening I've opened up my eyes Following Three steps fight an honest fight Two hearts that can start a fire One love is all I need In this life
I was put here for a reason I was born into this world And I'm living and I'm believing I was meant to be your girl In this life
You give me love You give me light Show me everything that's been happening I've opened up my eyes Following Three steps fight an honest fight Two hearts that can start a fire One love is all I need In this life

Life is beautiful whenever I see you...

That's for my baby...
He deserves some credit, I guess for putting up with me after all this while...
Okies we haven't been together for THAT long but I guess 10months with me is quite a torture... Hah!
I'm not exactly the most demure lady around; and I bet I can swear better than a guy (of coz I dun swear in front of my baby THAT often *sheepish*), and I throw tempers as and when I deem fit, which for your knowledge, is quite alot.
I declare myself a Princess and he has to do my every bidding, even when it means going for prata like 3am in the morning when I woke up with hunger pangs but he's still happily in dreamland.
Am I unreasonable? I do question myself at times...

My baby is sooo giving in to me all this while, whereas I'm the one acting like a demented bitch yelling at him for nothing whenever I'm in a foul mood.
My bestie commented that I'm scary and I feel ashamed...
Funny thing is, we are always polite to other people, strangers even yet we treat the ones closest to us like dirt..
I know that I have no reason to treat him so badly and yet I can't control my temper all the times... *muzt be a good lady so that I can qualified as a Princess next time*
Anyway this post ain't about me and my brainsick ways.
This post is for my baby who has stood with me ups and downs, through shit and sweet.
Sometimes when I look at him, I could just melt in his eyes.. (His eyes are a warm shade of rich brown honey, yum yum)
Sometimes when I flare up at him, he would juzt look at me with his puppy eyes and reach out to soothe me down..
Sometimes when I done something wrong, he didn't reprimand me but kept quiet the whole time which was scary.. Eeeks! I had to ask for forgiveness so that he could talk again...
Eh, come to think of it, my baby is not really that vocal either..
I always complain that he dun talk, we dun communicate enuff but I realise even if he dun talk much, he makes it up by doing all the sweetest things for me.
He always give me massages whenever I whine that my lower back and legs are in pain from all that killer heels (he also said dun wear heels at all! Eeks!)
He always sit patiently waiting for me whenever I am running late for our few and precious dates...
He would let me rant, whine and scream but he still won't buy me that Chanel 2.55 coz he knows that I will be surviving on plain white bread for a long time to come.. Hehehe...
He would let me be my true lamey old self with absolute no complaints.
And when I ask him, what would make him happy, he did replied once that as long as what makes me happy, would make him happy too...
Awwwwwwwwwwww *blush*

Okies since X'mas is coming, here's what I gonna get for my baby...




LV Damier wallet

Ignorant and indigent

Spolit brat with a penchant for all things nice but can't afford..
That's my life... Hahah..
Been surfing the web for ideas on X'mas presents..
Everything is beautiful and coincidentally falls into 2 categories which are namely "I want desperately!!!" and "I want not-so desperately!!!" BUT, (there's always a but..)
Here in this sunny-slighty jammed red dot everynow and then-which recently hosted the world's first night Grand Prix race, and to put it in the typical the way of speech,
"Money no enough.."
*lol*

Been thinking of going vegan...
Somehow I realised that I am letting the world down by consuming meat.
Moreover more greens would improve my health too...
Geez I do not really sound that convincing eh?!
Thinking of roast beef sandwiches, salmon steaks, pepper crabs just send me into an excited frezy.. Food makes me weak.. Hahah..
Oh wait, I gotta sound like I'm seriously into going vegan.. Shucks... *bored*

1 more week... 8 more days.. 192 more hours and I'm on my way to Bangkok!!
Sooooo excited and I can't really wait...
Have been controlling my urges to spend in order to spree myself crazy over there...
Yippee...
I believe the media has been overrated on what is going on over there..
My SO's brother is over there and he has feedbacked that it's really safe to go...
My colleagues must be in some kinda conspiracy coz whenever Bangkok is brought up in our conversations, they would turn and look at me with wide eyes and knowing smiles, making tsk-tsk noises at the same time..
Geez whatz wrong with them for Thai's sake?

Will keep updated of my trip soon and watch out for my X'mas list...
Hahaha

Post Grand Prix, overstuffed and hung over..

Haha I believe the title juz kind sums it up...

I seldom get a day off and especially on a Monday..
Today is a nice day without having to suffer through the blues in office
Stuffing myself silly with too much Pocky (chocolate and strawberry hah!), sitting infront
of the PC, surfing aimlessly on the many shopping sites..
Been too inertia, starting to feel the sugar kick into my robust veins..
Somebody should kill me for suger overdose.. *geez*

My baby was telling me the other day that there should be open communication in our relationship.
Simply put, he wants me to tell him straight in the face that I want to eat MacDonald's instead of KFC, I wanna shop at Vivo City instead of AMK Hub, I wanna watch movies instead of hiking throuh some ulu areas..
In simpler simple words, my baby wants me to tell him what I want instead of playing mind games and crossing my fingers that he could read my mind and surprise me..

"But that's soooo not romantic!" It's like I'm making all decisions and no spontaneity.."

Please note my wails is mightier than the sword.. *hahah*
However my baby is definitely fine with me being outspoken yet I feel totally unromantic about the whole issue.. *yucks*
He claimed that he prefers me to speak out and tell him what I want and how I feel.
He claimes that he is slow in reading me and thus would not wanna step on my many tails, no matter how short they are. *Hmmm*

On a separate note, time is passing by so, so slow..
My Bangkok trip is 26 this month and it seems like years to come!
Shopping sprees here I come!
Had done my homework on all Boots products and Wacoal bras!
Hahahah

Omnia - Ohmygod!

19 Sept Friday evening:
Shalalalala...
Oooh I'm in a good mood today... *winks*
Guess what, my sweet darling has gotten me what I had been dreaming of
in the few last months - Samsung Omnia!!
OMG! OMG!
Initially I really couldn't believe it coz my man, he ain't those romantic kinda guy..
He seldom buy me presents (hmmmm..) and even if he does, he will ask me what I want
before the purchase.
And now I had gotten a sleek Omnia! Hehehehe


20 Sept Saturday Afternoon:
Damnit! I give up!
I can't figure out Omnia... Dang....
After many years of using N. phones which are super user friendly,
I'm having problems on Omnia. *sighz*
Seriously I'm a techie-retard. I can't even understand what the manual is teaching me, not to mention configuring my new phone...
I swear the user manual is really simple, comes with all illustrations but alas me... *sobz*
Arghhhhhhhhh I need help!

Omnia is lying on my desk, taking a break from my constant poking around in his applications.
I had been touching him non-stop, trying to save my media files, finding them in the wrong saved folders and copying them to the correct ones...
Gosh I'm so beat from all that ''touching" HAHAHAH

Then again, this is a present from my darling thus I would definitely treasure it.
*smilez*

Tots

GOSH!!!
My mobile is going crazy...
First it threatens to cut off my calls by giving off some stupid beeps which the party at the other end of the line can't hear, then it starts to go into sleep mode ie auto switch off without my permission!
Darn the stupid phone! ( and I hope my next phone is Omnia *fingers crossed*)

GOSH!!!
Grand Prix is coming... And I ain't got any tickets! Then again, I'm too cheapo to fritter my money on some event which I can probably get a better view of, in the luxury of my own home with a glass of wine and my feet propped up on the ottoman.
Go live? Nah....

GOSH!!!
My colleagues are all giving me the headaches with their superb "tai-ji" skills. There is absolut no co-operation within the department and for 9hr daily, I'm being pushed from section to section, juz looking for the correct person to help me on my work but to no avail.
Another day goes by... *bleah*

GOSH!!!
My long awaited trip to Bangkok is in another month's time but my SO (significant other) is really absolutely doing nothing about the itinerary... *screams* Okies I'm paranoid, but I do wish he would put in more effort into our first trip..
I'm soooo gonna make him carry ALL my shopping!

GOSH!!!
The weather is sooooo hot nowadays but I seem to get burnt whenever I go out for lunch.
Mind you, there is a canteen just a block away from my office but the scorching heat make the walk there seems like a trek out in the dry desertlands...
I'm gonna be an auntie and carry an umbrella whenever I go out now...

GOSH!! GOSH!! GOSH!!
I whine too much but I can't help it..
*MUAHAHAHA*

Weddings, birthday bashes and holidays in ....

Nowwadays I seem to get a lot of invites to hotels...
Before your mind slides to another tangent involving hotel rooms, spacious bathtubs, and swimming pools in the middle of the night, let me bring you back to reality..
Invites to wedding dinners held in hotels.. aka "red bombs"
* there goes my Louis Vuitton Alma man*

On a second thought, I seem to be enjoying weddings more and more especially when they are not mine (same goes for children!)
Last time, which I mean like last year, I am a real skeptic towards weddings.
I tink they belong to the same category as PA parades but only held on a smaller scale...
Imagine standing around in utter best behaviour (coz all the aunties, uncles not to mention grand-grandmother are watching), smiling, shaking hands or maybe waving (end of night mah, wave goodbye to guests.. Duh!), dressed to the best..
Okies not the best but there will never be another night, the couple will convince themselves to don a tux; risking the chances of looking like a waiter in an "atas" restaurant nor a breath-killing gown that highlights the bumps in all the wrong places..
Well then again there might be chances I could be wrong (anytime)
Okies back to the weddings, I just gotten news that a good friend of mine during my school days is getting married!
OMG! N I'm soooooo happy for her...
She deserves it man...
And I believe that man is good enuff for her... B )
With all due respect, I'm quite ready for the red bomb..
*on the lookout for dresses to wear for the dinner*

Since we are on the topic of joyous occasions, another one of close girlfriends is gonna
celebrate her 1st born bb's 1st month.....
Wow...
I didn't know babies can grow sooo fast, the last time I had a teleconversation was before she discharge from KK and was that like only yesterday?
Or was I the one going post natal memory loss on her behalf?
*blur*
Like I say, babies are cute as long as they are not mine.....
*lol*
I guess by the time I finish this post, her bb will have past his one year birthday, no?!

Besides all the joy, I'm sooo looking forward to my upcoming holiday..
My first time with my SO (significant other)..
And my first holiday since 4 years ago..
Can't wait to shop, shop, shop and then eat eat eat..
Hahaha..
My SO is tearing his hair in despair. Why?
Coz I keep saying I want to eat "Mango with sticky rice,
dunkin donuts, baskin robbins, papaya salad, pad thai, grasshoppers, BBQ squid, bird's nest etc.."
And he would look at me disbelivingly...
And I would go "Why are you looking at me like that?! Are you trying to comment I'm fat and shouldn't eat all those?!"
And I would go on and on and on and on if not for the fact that I noticed his hair is kinda thining at certain places
*gal power sia*

Now thinking about it, I could just slap myself crazy for not visiting places such as J.J. Market, Emporium, Siam Square blah blah...

Best of all, there's Boots aplenty over in Bangkok!!!

Omnia & me...

I want to swim as far out as the currents bring me...
I want to see the dolphins dancing in the seas...
I want to play and seek with the jellyfish that glow eternally in the deep...
I want to lie on coral beds and cuddle with the clown fishes...
How I wish I could ride on the manta rays lying at the bottom of the sea!


I want to fly as high as the wind carries me...
I want to soar like the eagles in the sky...
I want to breeze thru fluffy clouds...
I want to slide down pretty rainbows and find that pot of gold
How I wish I could have strong wings to bring me all over the sky!

I want to run as fast as Forrest Gump...
I want to see the snow peaked mountains in winter...
I want to touch sakura in spring...
I want to run in tulip fields in summer...
I want to pick maples leaves in autumn...
How I wish I could travel the world in 80 days!

I want to paint my life like Picasso...
I want to have all tones and shades in my life...
I want to hide in dull greys, blacks and whites...
I want to explode with the vibrant oranges, reds and yellows...
I want to mellow with the lavenders, aquas and ciels...
How I wish my life is like a night sky lit up by a thousand fireworks!

Do you see me now? Would you catch me later?
I have a lotsa dreams swimming in my head.
I have a constant vibe that makes me grooving.
Me desire the vast land and open seas. Me lusts after the starry skies and sunny beaches.
Me is different from you. I can't be safe. I can't be practical.
I dare to dream. I dare to put dreams into processes. I don't wish to be held down by restrictions. I can't be you. I don't wish to be you. It's boring to have two you and no me.
Me wish to be free…

Just like Omnia; I wish for everything that is me…
Just like Omnia; I am more than just what you see..

Omnia lets me be me..
Omnia lets me be free..

It can bring me to all ends of the world with a touch..
It can show me all sides of the story...
It can help make my dreams into reality and fulfil the other side of me..
A constant companion, entertaining me on the go
Letting me in touch with reality while I chase after my dreams..

Omnia - I want you
Omnia - I want everything

A walk in the park

Over the weekend, me and my guy were bored thus we went for a walk...
A very long walk to be precise..
We decided to explore the Southern Ridges.
Plus I got sunburnt..
Weather was that good, you know..


Started from behind Harbourfront MRT station.
Climbed up some horrible steps.. Realised it went up to Mt Faber.
Told my guy we should have taken the bus instead (up to Mt Faber)...
He laughed and commented the walk ain't gonna be fun if I'm gonna be princessy about everything..
Humphhhh...


We stopped every half hour and rested.
Realised that a 500ml bottle of water ain't enuff for the two of us.
I started acting out the scenes from LOTR.

"Master Freddo, drink up... You will need this for the journey.."
*smirks*

My guy drank most of the rationed water and I had to suck at my pack of sweets as substitute.


Henderson Waves was amazing. That's where we took our pictures and came across a Malay couple selling curry puffs. Me and my guy were wondering why there wasn't anyone selling water instead?
Our business personalities quickly came over us as we pondered how much we could earn just by peddling water to tired and thirsty people in the park.
In the end, neither of us could agreed on the profits and thus decided not to venture into the business. Hahaha...


We walked, talked and attempted to be lovey-dovey but I guess the heat kinda make us sick.
Neither was in the mood for romanance..
At least my guy was sweet enuff to carry my bag.
Arghhh.. the funny thing about my bag was it had everything but water.
There was a make-up pouch, my wallet, my key pouch, a VS hdrating spray, sunblock, 2 packets of tissue, one packet of facial wipes, some candy I bought while waiting for my guy to meet me....
No water!!!!


Anyway we walked, we talked and we admired the sun..

"Very hot hor?"
"Yeah.. We seem to have sun everyday"
"Very hot, I'm perspiring all over!!"
"Yeah, wow.. look at the sun.. I think there is no chance it will rain.."

............................................................................................................




Our final destination was Hort Park and that's the best I could do.
Whole journey lasted 2hr plus and more.
We started from 1430hr and ended at app 1715hr.
Initial plan was to walk til Kent Ridge and have dinner there but..

After taking a long rest at Hort Park, my feet refused to walk anymore....
We abandoned the dinner plans and escaped the hot sun by flagging a cab to take us to the nearest air-conditioned mall...







Henderson Waves






My guy basking in the sun...








Us at the Henderson Waves..

Helllllllllllooooooo........


Ahem....

Did you all heard of Japan making Hello Kitty Tourism Ambassador?

Geezzzzzzzz


I mean, ha ha ha...

A fictional character with no mouth as an ambassador?

A Barbie wanna-be, without Barbie's va va room figure but a wardrobe to match?

C'mon you guys, admit it, Hello Kitty has been spotted in outfits, costumes and some weird get-ups that I bet Barbie would not be dying to get her mittens on....

Back to that mouth.... Hello Kitty ain't got a mouth, how on earth is she gonna convince me to visit Japan?!


I got nothing against Hello Kitty, she's cute and she's all sweet and pink..

I queued up all night eons ago when MacDonald's introduced Hello Kitty and her boyfriend Daniel clad in different nationalities' costumes.

Man, I believe that was the few times I had went ga-ga over Hello Kitty.

And I was 21 years lah!! *grins*


And til recently, Edward, the "bro" went Taiwan and asked do I want anything from there?

Not knowing what to get, i just mindlessly rattled some stuff as a teaser.

"Hello Kitty keyboard, Hello Kitty table lamp, Hello Kitty bedsheets..."

Edward was speechless and my boyfriend was laughing like hell.


And now Edward is back and guess what he has gotten me?

A Hello Kitty portable make up case!

Cute sia!!! *lol*

Really cute, it's in silver color and it's big!

I bet I can stuff all my make up in and still leave room for more.

Now with this case, I have more excuses to ask Lawrence (bf) to get me thatnew Stila spring range.. Hahaha



Okies okies, back to Tourism ambassador, Hello Kitty ain't got a mouth...

Is that presentable?!

When and if she is going to attend some sort conventions, how is she gonna answer questions from reporters?

I don't think most of us are equipped with reading sign language......

And Hello Kitty can't obviously said "No comments" as all big-shots do...

Whahahah...


I had been doing a lot of googling and I realised there are actually quite a number of anti Kitty websites out there.

Quite a funny read...
Check it out if you people have time... *winks*

Chocolate kofi with mauve skies..

Need a holiday badly...
Desperately..
Wish I can get out of here..
Weather is unpredictable
Work is unbearable...

Believe I really need to rejuvenate
And get my directions back in focus

My Bucket

There's this show in the theatres now starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, The Bucket List.
Had not the time to catch it yet but the movie plot entices me.
A friendship formed in the most unlikely places and the support both men gotten from each other.
I believe that's pretty cool...
And why the Bucket List?
Apparently Morgan Freeman's character in the movie has a list
of all the things he wanna do before he kicks the bucket.

I think I wanna come out with my Bucket List too.
Okies, let's pretend that I'm gonna die very soon like in 2 months.
And I'm filthy rich and I got this fabulous body, a "fast and ferious" sports car and
and what else? Hmmmm.....
Okies let's just pretend that I'm gonna die soon and I have absolute no problem in
fulifilling my bucket list. *lol*

So let's see..
What do I wanna do?

BUCKET LIST
1. Shoot my socially inadequate neighbour who has been throwing rubbish down from her flat (above me) and screaming at her children at 7am in the morning on weekends when I want to sleep in. (ohhhh, I sound disturbing... I'm pretty sure some guy in white is gonna bundled me off in a strait jacket soon hahah)
2. Visit Corcovado, Pyramids, and basically the Seven Wonders of the World.
3. Fly A380 whenever I am travelling and join the mile high club! (Hahah...)
4. Get a beautiful tan at either the Seychelles isl, or Maritius or Maldives
5. Open my own beach bar and boogie til I drop.
6. Botox. (Hey I want to pass on looking youthful can?!)
7. Participate in F1. I might not know how to drive those demon-machines but I want to get a feel of the speed)
8. Write and publish my own biography. (hope it will be a best seller one day) *winks*
9. ........

Geez, my list stops at a miserable 8....
I can't think of what to do with my pathetic life...

Yet I know I am pretty contended now.
And I am grateful to Lord for not forgetting me.
I do know that the world is very big and I might merely be a tiny speck.
There's actually a lot of things that I can do out there..
Prorities and commitments need to be set straight and fulfilled first.

Gotta work hard now if I really want my Bucket List to be fulfilled.
*lol*

Lost and found

Waheyyyyyyy......
My exams are finally over!!
(till the next semester again..)
Anyway, I don't have much distractions now
so I can blog as much as I want!

Then again...
Hmmmmmm
Hmmmmmmmm
I don't seem to have anything to update you guys...

Oh wait..
My birthday is over..
If anyone of you wanna give me presents still
I definitely will NOT mind!
*stupid grins*
I like iPhone, a new digi cam or a short holiday to Bintan!
Thanks in advance!

Okies I was at Fort Canning for Incubus concert, 7 March!
Tickets were complimentary from my bro...
He is coool...
BUT Incubus is way coooooooooooooooooooooooler!
Hahaha...
Enjoyed myself very much that night and kinda stayed out late
despite me having a paper the following morning..
Oh well...


Pssst
Pssssssssst...
Wanna know a secret?


I suspect my brains were taken away by the Martians
That's why, I could break out in uncontrollable laughter
whenever my feet are being massaged on.
I could stumble over mathematical problems for hours
trying to work out my expenses and balance my check book..
I have the attention span of a two year kid, easily distracted
and yessss..
Hey you there! Were you talking to me?!

There were times I totally lost it and could not come up with anything to blog
I sat at the computer for ages
I could be inside my FB,
having fun playing Sudoku or Scramble
(nope, FB didn't pay me to advertise for them)
but my mind just couldn't register any topic...

I suspect the little green men had stolen my brains!!!
That's why I couldn't even shout for help when they did so...

Hahaha...

Little green men, please bring my brains back...

Over the rainbow

Over the rainbow,
will there be a pot of gold waiting?
Over the rainbow,
will there be an enchanted forest?
With talking trees and singing animals?
Over the rainbow,
will there be a house made of candy?
With warm apple pies laid out on the table,
Waiting for me?


The answer is clearly NO.

Dang!.......

I should slap myself awake and stop thinking about all these things.....
This is a practical world that I'm in..
I should stop thinking about fairies, princesses, magic and the mystic world...
*sighz*

End of Days

So January is coming to an end...
First month of 2008
What have I done?
What had I not done?!

Had resigned from my previous employer
Decide a new change will be gooD
Wanted to try something new in my life

Febuary is a short month..
Only 28 days..
Hey..
Tis a leap year, so that means an extra day..
Gosh I had survived 4 years just to crash this out..
It's still a short month though

Then again I'm looking forward to the Lunar New Year
Kinda alot holidays in between
I guess that's I like best about Febuary

Am looking forward to getting ang paos
Stuffing myself silly with ba kwa and pineapple tarts
Having an excuse to gamble
The crazy drinking with my friends
The continous watching of blockbusters that would be showing..

And after all that drinking, dining, gambling and movie maranthon
Comes Valentine's Day...
All lovely dovely couples and mushy hearts
Another excuse to repeat all the above
Hahaha...

Febuary is a short month though....

Honeyed Lemon Tea

Talk is cheap
You said you like me
But I had seen you holding another girl's hands
You said you are only friends

Talk is cheap
You said you love me
But I had seen you kissing her

Talk is cheap
You said I'm the only one
But I had seen her countless times

Talk is cheap
Your talk is cheap

Saturday, January 05, 2008

Please stand behind the yellow line

Quiet subconscious
Misty dreams
A vision of you that I couldn't see

Deceitful words
Honeyed smiles
A picture of you that wouldn't fade

Broken promises
Shattered soul
A future with you that didn't work

Fading thoughts
Hoping more
A search that turns nothing

Silent whispers
Haunting kisses
A while more to break me

Sleepless nights
Fading days
A life I couldn't keep

Smiles disappearing
Tears flooding
A masquerade that is on going

Fleeting happiness
Settling gloom
A certainty that couldn't be stopped

How long has this been going on?
How long will this go on?

Blueberry Pies

The Greatest
Cat Power

Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind or waterfall could stop me
And then came the rush of the flood
The stars at night turned you to dust

Melt me down
To big black armour
Leave no trace
Of grace
Just in your honor
Lower me down
That corporate slob
Make a watch
For a space in town
For the lack of the dreds
Of my bed I've been sleeping
Lower me down
Pin me in
Secure the grounds
For the later parade

Once I wanted to be the greatest
Two fists of solid rock
When things I couldn't explain
Any feelings
Lower me down
Pin me in
Secure the grounds
For the lack of the drugs
My faith had been sleeping
For the later parade

Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind or water fall could stop me
And then came the rush of the flood
The stars at night turned you to dust


I cried whenever this song came on during My Blueberry Nights
It has provoked such emotions that I felt drained...
Touching a certain forgotten place, I marvelled at the magic of the lyrics
Of the movie, of the soulful voice...

My Blueberry Nights is a must watch!
And the soundtrack is a must get!
