so i haven't had the time to update. simply tooo lazy to do so.
so just a quick one with pictures to do most of the talking. 14march was spent with R at pasir ris park going blading.
it was a laugh-until-your-stomach-hurts experience for me but a fall-until-your-butt-hurts for him. HAH!
the pains of learning to blade. we've yet to redeem our 2nd hour so i'll guarantee pictures the next time round.

spent the weekend buying stuff, twister, food &alcohol for the chalet &the long awaited monday came :D

arrived there, pretty small but big enough, nice place, loud music blaring from the speakers, tried to study, couldn't &took a walk around the place instead, huge swimming pool (i was aching for a tan), lazed around, started the fire (we cooked food using a frying pan over the bbq pit), wasn't so bad, had to cool everyone off so out came the 300water bombs we prepared in the afternoon. i tell you, ULTIMATE CHAOS!

running &screaming, water bombs flying EVERYWHERE & i was in the midst of it all trying to take pictures and my camera got a little drenched but it's working fine! (:

it'd better be or i would have cursed myself for not sending in the warranty card yet. heh!
everyone took turns to shower, interesting experience for me (HAH!), chilled around &ate instant noodles before everyone slowly turned in. couples in one room &the rest in the other.
woke up in the morning, went to school for business accounting lecture, studied for 3hours, went back to the chalet, cooked dinner (using a portable gas stove courtesy of alvin khoo) &we finally had proper edible food that won't make us lose any hair. HEH!
showered &changed in time for the "guests" to come. turnout wasn't as many as we expected but we still had a hell of a party, i swear.

thanks to chungyin, melvin, farhan, russell, gabbie, andrea, baoyi &zy for coming :D

learnt a new game, drank a bit &too many shots after that, i was WASTED. couldn't remember much after that.
just bits &pieces here and there. all i know that being wasted is sheeeeer agony!
took me a whole day to recover &thank God just in time for today's paper. haha.
i do hope i'll pass. don't want to retake accounting.
it sucks, big time & i'm keeping my fingers crossed that tomorrow's weather will be fine! i need a tan!
oh, and the moon is full tonight. i miss star gazing &shooting stars (:

you got to be
out of your mind
you got to be
the best thing ever in my life.

i never could love you enough.

crying shame

first &for most! happy belated 18th birthday, benedict tan! :D

i'm sorry i couldn't join you guys yesterday but i hoped the "cake" with m &m's and the 18shots at midnight were good enough. heh!

i hope you're not suffering from any side effects after the fall. haha.

and so, yesterday was another day to remember in our 10-year book. organized a primary school gathering at pasir ris park but because of the craaaazy weather, we headed to my place after buying the food from ntuc.

deborah brought her grill &broiler to cook the food with & i'm elated to say that yesterday was a success! although my house is a tad to small but heck!

we like the cozy-ness (:

turnout was AAAAAWESOME! many many faces that we haven't seen in a loooooong time.

it was fun catching up, talking about primary school days, asking who's attached &all, and most importantly, guessing who's who! some had trouble recognising faces & i'd to get our primary 6class photo out and before you know it, we were all laughing at each other's "kukoo-ness".

gosh, i love them! mr victor pok rushed from work after he heard who was there.

haaaaaa... it so nice to reunite &see how much we've grown over the years. cleaning up was a breeze &then the remaining who were there headed to pasir ris park to drink &continue the "party".

it nice to sit around &just be with each other since it's soooo once in a blue moon. played 7up, indian poker &the drinking game and some of us got tipsy.

it's the first time i went drinking with them & i swear it's an hilarious affair. and to sum it all up, yesterday will be another memorable black &white photograph in our heads when we look back 10years later (:

it's such a tired game
how will this all play out

out of sight, out of mind.

by now we should know.

the truth

i hate the weather. rained the whole day.
on &off showers. pfffft.
plans for east coast were ruined. shall try our luck tomorrow after tuition.
hopefully the weather won't be as sucky. and it'd better not rain on thursday or i'll hibernate at home for the rest of the holidays.

and i've collected all these thoughts

and i'm dying just to lose them

and if your words are true or not

i'll die trying to prove them.

but i'll just have to accept.

to love somebody

teehee! i got this in green at the IT fair today :D




squeezing the jostling crowds &perspiring was all worth it. i FINALLY have a digital camera of my own &this spells trouble.
HAH! snippity snap snap snap!
anyway, the past week of holidays has been exhausting? did the usual things like giving tuition &going out with R.
he has been doing some excessive shopping. new this &new that.
tsktsk! he's more like a girlfriend.
HEH! caught daphne khoo &andrea hamilton, from australia, on saturday.
awesome awesome. it's the mosaic music festival week!
free concerts at the nokia powerhouse this WHOOOOOOOLE week! so be sure to check out international bands if you've the time (:


sooooooo, i've to go to bed in 26minutes so that i'll have 8hours of sleep. haven't been getting more than 56hours of sleep the entire week because of re-roofing going on in my block.
pfffffffffffft. the government should really stop construction throughout singapore.
it's sooooooo "not nice". it's my holidays, hellooooooooo!!
can't a polytechnic student sleep in when she has the chance to? sheeeeeeeesh!
got to start studying for the supplementary papers tomorrow. bleeeeeah!
i can't wait for the chalet to come. the holidays are boooooooring.

oh well, at least i've a day at east coast with him & a BBQ with my primary schoolmates to look forward to this week :D

i want my life to be lived with you.

tonight &the rest of my life

"i love you because you are the only person that has the ability to give me emotion, whether it be bad or good. you're the only person that can upset me.
the only person that can make me happy. the only person that can devastate me.
nobody has that ability, and for that, i love you."

"you're the painting that i keep running back to study. every time i look at you, something is different &even within a masterpiece, there are minor mistakes.
you’re the painting that i’m always drawn to, that always captures me. in this painting, my life is the world that engulfs me &you're the colors.
without your colors, my life would be empty. no matter what, i'll always return to take one more glance and let our world take me over.”

tongue tied

the paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers. wider freeways but narrower viewpoints.
we spend more but have less. we buy more but enjoy it less.

we've bigger houses &smaller families. more conveniences but less time.
we've more degrees but less sense. more knowledge but less judgement.
more experts but more problems. more medicine but less wellness.

we drink too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much &pray too seldom. we talk too much, love too seldom &hate too often.

we've learned how to make a living but not a life. we've added years to life, not life to years.

we've been all the way to the moon &back but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.

we've conquered outer space but not inner space. we've done larger things but not better things.

we've cleaned up the air but polluted the soul. we've split the atom but not our prejudice.

we write more but learn less. we plan more but accomplish less.

we've learned to rush but not to wait. we've higher incomes but lower morals.

we build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever but have less communication. we've become long on quantity but short on quality.

these are the days of two incomes but more divorce. fancier houses but broken homes.

these are the days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw away morality, one night stands, overweight bodies &pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. where are we heading?
