step by step i walk this path and live my dreams

long long time ago..

Monday, October 23, 2006
feeling kinda guilty suddenly for not posting n yet complaining tt my pals post soo infrequently *sorry chel~* so just popped by to update on life in sg.. eh..since my last post..break week 8 went by..and so did the crazy-shag-week 9 which sorta brought me on a rollercoaster ride for the 14 days..practically ran through all the emotions the life as a sg student can trigger in that 1,209,600 seconds *woah*

as usual, break week started full of vigor and great plans to finish all my projects within the 7 days of lesson free time..at the end of which, ended in a huge failure *again* though we did pull of some pretty productive meetings *thumbs up* school aside did manage to catch up a lil on my wanna-do list..

>>spent a few bucks with rita at vivocity *quick update to those away..it's the largest shopping mall in sg at the moment..abt 1.5 times suntec i think..hee jsut imagine marina and suntec combined kinda outlets in the west..a w e s o m e*

>>cultural update with a quick peek at lil' jerusalem with yunfeng..a film abt a jewish girl trying to reconcile the conflicting influences of the western philosophical theories at school, her pious jewish upbringing and her desire for love..all of which she seems to be in control of, except that of love which serves as the ultimate challenge of the beliefs she has developed over the year. Her sis and brother-in-law sheds more light on jewish customs and conflicts that even the most religious face..somehow bringing forth questions about faith once again, how do you achieve complete faith withou doubt? is faith a means or an end? is it unquestionable now cos it's the almighty rulebook written over thousands of years, or should it be challenged with changing times..and even changed to fit the changes? if the latter's true, what then are the followers placing their faith in? well just some random thoughts for the moment...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0428965/

>>dancing queen happiness at mambo with rs and met sheerene ah-ma too! *haven't met her for almost a year le!* plus anna's bday too *gotta rem her actual bday's today i think*

>>fruitful friendly heart to heart session with the out going crew at internal elections..hee this sorta incidental things..it's so hard to explain why or how, but people just seem to open their hearts so much more easily then..management theories behind it?? h a a well i'll think about it another time..meanwhile just be glad it happened..better late than never ;p

>>youthful desires~ hee all fulfilled at Cinddie's bday..kinda sad turn out from the BSM grp but got to know some of the cheerleaders there..hee actually feel a l i t t l e guilty for passing them as bimbs w/o a 2nd glance..*sorry* great party nonetheless!! ;p *kinda cute wakeboarder spotted too*wahaha*

>>crazy biahing preparations for project: NPD, EBC (x2!!), IB, Change Mgmt, Strategy..haa dun wanna relive it again *fat chance* but yeah..well this was just the begining of the disaster cos lots of fun in week 8 => lack of sleep + lots of piled up work in week 9 PLUS mid-terms PLUS more project work => 2 hr snoozes everyday + caffine addiction + highly strung sabby + loss of appetite + frozen brain cells = Z O M B I E..annnd to top it off, my first internship interview right smack at the end of the week. well, how else can the results be. dead meat.

so to sum it up net happiness over the past 2 weeks, measured based on sufficiency of rest, fun, friends and chilling = n i l

*baahhh* it's hols again this tues, so mon's ktv night with ge shen~ haha it's just 2 hrs into the new week and it's already looking great c h e e r s~

turning green

Tuesday, October 10, 2006
in the span of 5min my right hand just turned entirely unwashabe-ly blue-green..eww kinda facinated..awed ;p

anyhows caught lil miss sunshine with rita at vivocity today..

1. lil miss sunshine
sweet lil movie without stiring the usual your-family-will-always-stand-by-you yawns, but rather the kind that really sets you thinking how every irritating aspect in the family is what makes it unique, thurs truly yours. at the end of the day, i guess only your family can accept the person you are, stand by you, piss you off and give you the courage and drive to make something out of your life. well, still it's just the films whether it happens in reality, or rather will i ever feel this way towards my family, i still can't ascertain that. i can recognise how they've influenced my life, my parents, aunts, esp my younger sis, but whether i have or will i ever have any influence in their lives..or for that matter, actually influenced anyone significantly..i'm still highly doubtful. it's like i don't matter as much as others to me. wells, i've always thought it's a natural thing--charms, to attract people, or at least a particular special someone, you either have it or you just don't..but it's just odd to be the only one that hasn't experience that. maybe the day's yet to come.. really? it's already 22years overdue. *ponders*

2. rita & vivocity
hee retail therapy rocks!! haha..well girls will be girls right~ kinda went a lil crazy at forever 21 today, though i only ended up with a top n a dress..i'm sure if i were in the exchange mood, there'd be 80eur credited to my expense easily. but convincing rita to get her 59sgd dress kinda eased my conscience a lil *hey the dress was really cute on her too though so it was a worthy buy first, and easing my conscience 2nd..hope to catch her in it soon*
found the topshop jacket i wanted..its 108sgd..thus placing it automatically on the dream-on list of items..i'm still qt a stingy shopper at the end of the day..
first time into the crocs shop, rita was looking for a pair of croc slip-on mary janes for her mum *so filial* but unlike the regular birkies that are supposedly good, these crocs rock!! i'm actually truly convinced that its actually orthopedic and good-for-the-feet and wallet too! *just $47.90 woo~*
vivocity's still pretty unfinished with many shops yet to open..and the floors are all still pretty bright and sparkly *superstar feel* given you don't actually slip on the polished tiles~ though rita says it's not supposed to be a heartland mall with all the upper market shops (vs the regular sightings of gio-ntuc-ah lian shops), there seemed a lot more aunties going around whilst the office folks just swarm the new gourmet spots. it's hard to tell if vivo's gonna be a success or just another momentary hotspot, but at least it's good news for people in the pasir panjang area, would probably be expecting more aunties in the area sporting zaras and forever 21s at the sunday food markets soon~

iWannas this week

Saturday, October 07, 2006


found this during a random shopping spree on thursday..all the christmasy tunes just started when i saw it..how i wish for a white christmas~ooh plus this shot from thesatorialist.com just made this top a must-buy..this weekend maybe..

on to whining for today..just got back from lunch with jen, cass and simin..absolute bore..not them, but me..just can't seem to connect with whatever they're talking abt..can't stir up any sort of interest..kinda falling back into the odd-ball phase again..which is not good..though i'm actually happy to have more own time now..somewhat like jc times..just the diff is at least in school then, there was a class full of friends, a group of closer pals from house and photog to kill boring weekends with, and loser to spend all the excess breaktimes and class skipping times with..now..well just dun even feel like hanging in school for long *haze reasons aside*

is sg really such a bore for me? or maybe i'm just living a self fulfilling prophecy~

ah wells..gotta do something about it before i lapse back to that sorta depressing life again..

thus the iWannas this week:

>learn Spanish
>go Mambo night
>go on a photography day trip
>swim somewhere
>kayak for a day
>finish mugging for at least 3 courses *hah! will be a first*
>start driving classes again

hee gotta end the list here for now..just to be practical~ hee..;p

blissful lack of sleep

Monday, October 02, 2006
hee cranky after just 2 hrs of sleep but somewhat still feeling a lingering sense of happiness having watch the happy ending of Goong at 5.30am..

i know to many it's an absolute waste of a whole weekend to just coop at home glued to my bed, blanky and bloster, only making occassional public appearances to toilet and dining area,

but it's also a blessing ain't it? to have the time to dream away like that total ignorance of the world around you. Sort of reminds me of the times on exchange when i had my own room to hide away to. =)

well the real world's starting tomorrow, and preparations start today, but thankfully for the little private weekend dreamings, i can actually embrace reality with vigor and smiles. maybe i'm turning into a hermit. but who cares? at least i'm with the person i'm happiest with -- me! ;p


everyone, meet xiao mao ;p

happy sha la la~

Sunday, October 01, 2006
aunt says i'm a romantic, thus an addict to k-drama.

my she-pride would look appalled and flatly denied,

but i'm too happy now to bother.

happily ever after makes me happy, even if it's just a dream ;p


*i just wanna be a kid who gets soft toys on children's day*
