What's xmas w/o prezzie? Yep, all mine! Most i ever gotten in my 21st year of age=)

Though the year was a turbulent one, i'm glad its ending with my life filled with fabulous people i love, on my route to a degree, having the most flexible job, still having everything i'm having and more. Looking forward to a better year in 2010! Hope it will be a smooth sailing year filled with golden opportunities, brilliant exams results and everything good!

2010 minus 2009.99

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 12:11:53 GMT

New skin for the new year. Have to quit my addiction for home inn asap or else i won't get started on anything serious anymore. Till then.

minus the sarcasm

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 15:40:03 GMT

like the angel that came to me in my sleep to take the pain away,
like the rolling waves of the ocean that swallow the troubles away,
like the pelting rain that washes the vexing grim on the ground away,
like freeing the bird from its cage...

like the penny the old grandma stuck in a box wearily away,
like the love letters of ex-lovers stashed hastily away,
like the prized possession tucked safely away,
like the memories that slipped away...

Away, it came, and be gone again.

Full of regrets

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 18:00:15 GMT

Staying up late, thinking of all the possibilities and all the disappointments sucks. Can't help it. Hate it, hate it =(

My words fell on deaf ears again. It hurts so bad.

Aching for a glimpse of those days...

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 17:35:21 GMT

Turning back time to 5 years ago. My emo buddy. My listening ear. My comfort. Our share of big words of life. A glimmer of hope when my world crashed. Lost in my memories raked up today. I missed him.

WT!

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 13:46:45 GMT

Heard of the roti prata story? I wonder if someone made it up or what...Oh gosh, think i'll never look at roti prata in the same way again. I'm so damn tired that i haven't been wakeingup on time! It had been the same routine of : hit the first alarm button off, snooze through the second alarm, hit the second alarm button, back to sleep, wake up to the brightly lighted room and panic my ass off to prepare for school or work. Sleeping for 5-6 hours don't do me good enough anymore. I've been sleeping for a good 8-10hours nowadays. Sleep, is a totally waste of time i find sometimes. I need some retail therapy tomorrow. After all the goodies i found while shopping before work yesterday..my heart has been itching to see them again, feet itching to walk about town, fingers itching to touch the stuff and giving off the paper bills. I'm itching to make some cookies too because i have a box of macademia nuts but baking always slipped my mind whenever i pass by supermarket. Who shall i bake for this time? Hmm...Why isn't it thursday today?!!!! I wanna watch the legend of the seeker. I don't like to watch anything online cos i can't stand low defination visuals. Oh yah and 2012 is superb! Got me thinking of what will happen on doomsday 22.12.12. Shrugs..so what if the mayans are true? Maybe not. Cos its not like the calendars can't reset and i believe its just an exaggeration. I think the incorporation of the noah's ark is brilliant but don't like the sad and scary part of people dying and all..Ah i'm so tired!!! Work + School. Both alone are manageable but when they comes together, i collapsed literally! I envy those who can juggle both like miss someone i know. Does she ever sleep?! Gosh!..Oggling at cars now. My goals are always so impractical..Its people like him that makes me ticked. Immaturity. Boy, don't you know you should never overestimate your worth in front of others cos it makes you sounds much more undervalued. Shrugs..What's up with all the guys i know nowadays anyway?! The girls are all damn fine with their attitudes, etc though. You know i can't help but believe all the gentlemen are taken and none of the Mr. Nice with the whole package have their heart dangling out there for cupid's arrow. Sorry girls, i would have to say no. BUT i think most of ya would agree with me. Its kind of sad to think of that...anyway that thinking is beneficial for me. Yah and i still can't forget yesterday's dream. Waking up to that kind of pain is unberable.

The happiest thing...

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:00:05 GMT

Its weird blogging such emo post this afternoon and in the midst to blog about a happy one now. Hahaha...Anyway i'm pleased that i finished my assignment. Going to mug for my test already! Bummer. What's more bummerish is that i have 2 papers on friday and 1 more next monday. Shit to the max! =X Eons ago since i encountered such chiongness. At least i don't get tests with assignments together in the same period in my poly days. In the span of one week somemore...Sigh.....At least i got something to be happy about! Looking forward to the upcoming trip with my girls! 1 more month!

And...Something happend tonight which i'm still unable to wipe the smile off my face whenever i drift my mind to think about it even when i feel so stressed and about the morning issue and all=) So much to look forward in life...Aww..i think i deserve to gloat about it for hours after class tomorrow for good. Haha. I'm so silly. Hope Baby can knock off early with the car so we can go watch 2012. I decided not to care about MICRO already! I must watch it tomorrow! Totally exhausted from all the stress...

Alright..mugging time now. Darn! Feel like curling up in my comfy bed and having sweet dreams...Till then.

Hurt & Bruised ( I gave up)

Edited with PCD's Hush Hush.

I never needed you to be strong
I never needed you for pointing out my wrongs
i never needed pain,i never needed strength

I never needed you for judgement
I never needed you to question what i spent
I never ask for help, I take care of myself, I don't know why you think you got a hold on me.

I never needed your corrections
On everything from how i act to what i say
i never needed words, i never needed hurt, i never needed you to be there for me everyday
I'm sorry for the way i let go
For being your wrong

And it's a little late for conversations
There isn't anything that you can do.
And my eyes hurt, hands shiver, so look at me , listen to me because...

I don't want to
Stay another minute
I don't want you
To say a single word
Hush Hush, Hush Hush

Shut me up

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 17:09:34 GMT

I don't know what happened to my life. Up and down, up and down like ziggy zag lines on a patient's heartbeat report. =(

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:57:42 GMT

Pitter-patter, pitter-patter...
Drenching the city in its downfall.
Shrouding it in a blanket of darkness.
When the rain beats down rythmatically as we drove tonight,
I felt the uncertainty as if of the exact time the rain would stop,
I felt the gloom when the sky looms above,
I felt the fear when i see the lightning lit for that split second
cos i'll hear the anger from the thunder.
Yet i felt the security when i'm safely tucked in bed,
falling asleep in the familiarity of the smell of dew and earth,
with the comforting sound of "pitter-patter"...

Contradicting it may seem...it "fits" how i feel right now and i am contended about how it is:)

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 08:31:52 GMT

I've been feeling horrible these few days. Sleeping most of the time due drowsiness caused by my med. My mouth felt like cardboard despite the truckloads of water i drank. Totally no mood to study today so i cleaned and packed my desk. Clearing the clutter is the first start i guess. Need to start on my assignments asap! Sigh...Hope will be well enough for work tomorrow and i hope my sup won't fill me in on sunday! Pray hard...

I'm starved!

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 09:56:15 GMT

I should be studying now but i can't read anymore!!! MICRO sucks! I don't know where to start. All the graphs look the same to me now and i lost the ability to use a pencil and ruler to draw them. SIGH! 2 more days to test day! I don't wanna fail and i won't. SIGH. So much for giving up work today to stay home to study. SIGH. There goes my $$$ again. SIGH. I'm so useless...Wasted so much time today...Tata off for dinner!

Deprived of? A lil of these & a lil of that.

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 15:23:36 GMT

I don't like me for being me.
How should i change?

Carbs addiction

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 17:22:09 GMT

Taking a step out of the pathway.
It fails to disappoints anymore.
The lunchtime of a lonely heart.
Waiting on an empty stomach.
Blinded by the headlights in the dark.
Seeking for a second option.
Settled in the familiar sweet serenity.
Fulfilled.
Contended.
The smile so worthy.
Captured in her heart.

cut the carbs, love yourself

Photobucket sucks. It takes forever to upload photos. Had the last muffin today and i have to admit that it was a failed attempt as what my mum said. I went back the site to find out what went wrong. Know something dumb? I mistook the 1/2 cup veg oil as 1 & 1/2 cup. It was 2am in the morning when i finally decided on that recipe and was copying it down with heavy eyelids. I substituted that with 1 cup of butter but still, its way more than what i should be adding. One more thing, suppose to bake it at 330 degrees F not 330 degrees! Haha but the max of my oven is 250 and the baking pan instructions were not to exceed 150 degrees so i baked it at 150degrees but after conversion should be about 170? I'm going to try the banana crumb muffins next week. I won't stop until they taste close to perfection!!!

So we went sim lim in search of wii. Variations of pricing makes it hard to decide which are trustable. i want to play cooking mama! They have this set of controllers which include e pan and stick for frying. How cute is that?! "The Ugly Truth" wasn't too bad. Its ironic how people have this internal checklist of their dream partner but end of falling in love with someone, hmm...somewhat not really within their criteria. Well, love is such a funny thing sometimes...

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 16:22:47 GMT

He fell asleep tonight, yet another early night.
Before the owl glassy eyes reveals in the moonlight.
She, the girl waiting by the candlelight.
When the day begins, they shall see the same sunlight.

Did i mentioned how i hate lizards?! They creep into your home late at night when its dark, make loud clicking noise to let you know they are there but scurry away to hide when they heard you coming, have a bite out of your leftovers in the bin, become big, fat and disgusting after a few visits and shit all over your place while at it. I knew my kitchen have two brown ones of the likes above which scared me for countless times very late at night when i went to throw rubbish or wash my cup. They will either hide behind e bin on the sink or scurry up the sink or the bin. They better be of the same gender cos i don't want any more lizards to appear. Let alone baby ones. So gross! My dad bought this spray stuff to deter lizards cos i've been complaining about them for months. But, i think the spray don't help much for me cos you have to spray it on the lizard and how the hell will i have the courage to throw it away?! Anyway, i had another encounter with one yesterday morning. I was washing my cup when i noticed it at the corner of the sink, half hidden behind a pot of soap water, unmoving. I was close enough to see its round black eyes and bumpy skin. Shudder. I bet its darn desperate for food to appear in broad daylight at my home cos i've been throwing all the leftovers at night and making sure there's no food lying around. What's worse is that i dreamt of the creepy crawlies at night in the toilet but they look more like mini crocodile made out of dark blue and yellow polyermer clay you probably get to see on some kiddy tv. In my dream, i killed one of the small one with a needle easily but the big one can fly. I don't know why but buttons appeared for me to pause time and i struck it with a needle too when it landed of the wall. But, it wasn't dead when time resumed. It flew shakingly onto me and the needle that went through it poked on my skin and i bled. It poked me for like five times before it was finally dead. I am trying not to imagine how different it would be if its the real ones in my dream instead of the polymer clay like crocodile aka suppose-to-be lizard. So damn gross ok!

Hurray!!! Recovered from my weeks long sickness yesterday after 3 torturing weeks of avoiding fried, heaty, oily, spicy food and cold drinks. i lost control and have been stuffing myself with everything that was mentioned in the last sentence. Haha. Oh, but my system wasn't able to take it. Throat protested at the extreme coldness of the iced pepsi yesterday and i had an instant gastric cramp eating the green curry at Thai Express today. I hope i don't gain back the weight i lost. Need the motivation to start exercising for good!

Really need to hit the books ASAP. i can't catch up in class at all. Sigh. I found a friend at work who will be in the same hrm class. i don't have any friend who will be in the same fr class as me unless i change my 12pm class on wed her 8.30am class on tue. Should i? I have to wake up at 530:( I know its crazy and i know i'll be late for class. hmmm....

Though my lappy is still working great, i can't help wishing i can have a new sony. Going to the comex today made it worse with all the attractive promotion they having. But i have to admit that buying it is just for the sake of playing my sims3. Why did the creators have to make it works with such high requirements! GRR! ); poor me. Talking bout sims, Baby asked the cutest question bout sims today. Something i never thought someone will ask cos its a bit too embarrassing to answer. Hahaha.

I'm so random today. Think i've always been so. Haha. Going to meet up with someone whom i've been missing alot tomorrow for dinner. Looking forward!:) and i missed my ocbc friends!

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 14:51:12 GMT

Pure heartache.
Will anyone even understand?

Sat, 15 Aug 2009 15:29:58 GMT

My exams are finally over and done with, again. Relieved!!! I will only be having PBF every friday for now. But, full shifts kicking in from tomorrow onwards. Something i'm not looking forward to. The thought of being stuck at the sales floor at level 3 with the stricter regulations makes me gag for air. I'm mercilessly eyed on by the mean hen but i hope she have a too pea a brain to remember me for long since i'm out of the scene for more than two weeks. Sigh...Sometimes everyone there seems to be in their own world. Me too..Whoever's working tomorrow better be fun and nice. Or else that mean hen might catch my sulking face again when i'm bored stiff. Oh i'm wishing she's off on my work days instead so i can do whatever i like. Haha.

Upload a small part of the photos i took yesterday at the comic and toy convention at Suntec. Almost all the best are here. I have no friends who like Blythes anyway so i doubt anyone here interested to head down there to check them out. Most of the custom-made Blythes are so beautiful, they took my breath away. I love how elaborate they are. Sorry for poor lightings and the ugly backgrounds. Its packed and we have to make it quick.

Inspired to make something for Mellie and Loaire soon when i have a day to spare. I'm still as broke as ever so i have to shelf my plan of doing up a uber nice home for them. But i'm up for any donation of Barbie's, Bratz's or any doll furnitures which fits 1:12 scale.

The strawberry flavoured yogurt with banana for dinner didn't do me good at all. I'm hungry. I've plumped up. Nobody recognize me anymore:( Its a good thing they don't cos i don't want anybody to see me in such a bad shape too. Sleep will cure hunger pangs for now. Good night!

Can't solve it? Deal with it.

Fri, 10 Jul 2009 06:29:57 GMT

Don't you just love that its raining outside when you will be staying at home for good?:) I remember how i used to holla "TGIF!" back in the good 'ole days in school and atp when they stretch from monday to friday. Fridays just wasn't a relief anymore. Since i'll be either slogging out at work or having weekends classes. Actually none of any day of the week offers a consistency relief to me ever since in early april. Its like i was so tied up with work, school, things i HAVE to do instead of WANTS to do that i can hardly breathe. One of the biggest lesson learnt is my habit of putting of studying at the very last minute when my confidence level dropped to a negative point. And they do know how it gets me. I blew it again. When will i start learning my mistakes, i wonder. I need someone to slap me awake. I did took the first step by cutting down on work to only mondays. After that full week of break from work, i kind of dreaded going back. Which is i good thing i guess. I loved to go back almost everyday if anyone remembers my old posts. But i love how much time i can have to myself more than work (which is more like spending 3/5 of the time daydreaming, 1/5 of the time laughing like a mad woman, 1/5 of the time people analyzing. i've became more stupid and still fails at colours cordination.) Though i haven't been revising as much as i need to but its nice to have days when you can laze around and enjoy life a little more. I'm able to get more sleep. Two hours more than the five-hour sleep i used to had. Definately helps alot since i'm able to go through till 10pm w/o any hint of sleepiness. I should persuade people to sleep more cos' i know most of them doesn't get enough sleep at all. And i'm doing the time-wasting stuff that i usually don't do. That's watching tv. 3 hours of cable!!! I love jon and kate plus 8 so much. I finally got around to my reading hobby again. Is it still considered as a hobby because its like an on-off thing? I have to persuade myself to curb my reading habit because it got so bad that i was literally dropping everything i need to do and spending the day lying in bed until i can finish a book in a day. Its so darn addictive that i just can't devote only a small fraction of my time to do so. The books i've borrowed aren't even what i consider as really good. I'm always inclined to borrow the same easy-reading but boring general novels no particular value nowadays. Its usually the read-and -forget kind. Haha, this is such a boring post, just like how boring my life is getting.

I'm craving for the egg tarts in hongkong very badly! The ones i had are the best i ever had in my entire life. I still can remember how those little things taste of baked perfection of smooth eggy sweetness in the center and buttered crumbliness at the edges. Mmmmph....I'm starring at the picture i took of them now. I'm definately looking forward to going back to hongkong again, just for the egg tarts. Glutton me.
And I'm craving for the mango and pomelo pulp dessert (i can't remeber the name of it) and a bowl of hot peanut soup with black sesame and green tea glutinous balls in chinatown too. Hoping my parents will be going tonight. Haha.

Up, up and above

I spent the past hour revamping this lifeless blog that were desperately in need of a change. Loving the pastel shades. I thought the combination of the background and theme colors don't work that well. But still, i'm happy with it. My new obsession with pink hues made me discussed the possibility of painting my room pink with my mum today. She wasn't too keen about that as she will end up doing the moving of my furniture and painting my walls alone instead. That was always how it works when we repaint our rooms. My super mum:) Speaking of my room, I always like to have new furniture pieces even though the current ones are in very good conditions. Most importantly is a bigger closet cos the current one is too small! (Ironed clothes ended up crinkled anyway, since i have to squeeze them back to the limited clothes rack.) I hardly wear those outfits that require ironing anymore cos i'm too lazy to do it. I can do a long post completed with ideas and pics found online and magazines about this. Maybe its a good idea to have a biz sourcing for pieces i like from around the world and selling them off in my quaint little shop. Oh how nice is it to have such dreams for the future...

I'll continue another day. My back, shoulders, neck and butt are sore from sitting so long. Its like 1.40am now. All thanks to caffeine that kept me awake.

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 17:38:48 GMT

Oh well...nothing fantastic to blog about. For a few hours, it really seems like end of the world to me. Well, almost. Its like i don't have any other choices but i realized i do later on. Too many choices to think about but i only can make one for now and that its has to be the right one. Something i won't regret for choosing it in my later part of life. I'm giving myself one day to consider all the options. Its short but the time frame i'm given is exceptionally short due to my reckless and brainless behaviour for the past months. I can't deny i feel very upset over it but at least its not as bad now after confiding to my dear friends. I almost cried at work after dinner break. I think i had it written all over my face. Even Nurul from TBL came over and shared one of the lame jokes cracked by K and it cheered me up alittle. My parents too bought my fav-durians for my supper. Though i've yet to break the news to them. I probably get it from mum and have to face her endless questioning. Sigh...All my pay gonna be gone just like that. So much for working hard. Maybe abit too harder than studying. Bless me. Msn is like my theraphy for healing my emotions. The disheartened feeling is almost gone. Its nice to able to talk to someone about C.G working opposite too. I want to work tomorrow cos C.G working. Miss my B who is working as hard as ever and still my crowned number one sleepyhead. Need his advice although i predicted what he's going to say. Thursday is coming:) Can $$$ please fall from the sky or start growing from my house plant or whatever? I need some.

Mon, 22 Jun 2009 14:53:57 GMT

Off from work today but i stayed at home to rest my tired limbs. Shocked awake this morning when i remembered that my results will be out tomorrow. Unwillingly, i dragged myself out of bed at 11 to double check the release date and texted Ryan to put off the roster planning till later. Please let me pass both maths n econs!!!! I don't want to be stuck for another year in school. I'm planning to work 5 or 6days per week for the month of july and august too. So please let my little wish come true...Praying hard.
