i love lulu


I love being at home despite the distractions i get from wanting to stroke the curly fur on lulu, running after her around the house, kissing her on her twitchy black nose, cuddling her in my arms and looking into her beady eyes. :)) Sweet.

Another rainy day, always prime me to wanting a warm embrace.

Life was getting tad bit complicated for my liking but i'm hoping it gets a little simpler with only work in mind. I'm thankful for friends who give the best advice. Jordin's latest hit sums up their advice pretty well.

Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can't touch
You wanna show the world
but no one knows yours name yet

Wonderin' when, where and how you're going to make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face and the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you getting all kinda impatient
Waiting, we live and we learn

To take one step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly, or falling in love
It's gonna happen when it's supposed to happen
And we find the reasons why
One step at a time

You believe, and you doubt
You're confused, and got it all figured out
Everything that you always wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew

You wanna show the world
but no one knows yours name yet
Wonderin' when, where and how you're going to make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face and the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you getting all kinda impatient
Waiting, we live and we learn

To take one step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly, or falling in love
It's gonna happen when it's supposed to happen
And we find the reasons why
One step at a time

When you can't wait any longer (you can't wait)
But there's no end in time (when you need to find the strength)
It's your faith that makes you stronger (the only way we get there)
The only way we get there
Is one step at a time

To take one step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly, or falling in love (Falling in love)
It's gonna happen when it's supposed to happen
And we find the reasons why
One step at a time

Hrm, the good ol' we must have hope always perks us up doesn't it?
Life's only worth living when you have something to fight for.

Had wild rockets. Really top-yums stuff. For those who love raw meat like i do, you would love the beef carpaccio. I loved En's beef carpaccio but wild rockets' version is thumbs-up too! :)) Thanks Mr J! xx

Dinner at Epicurious, as referred to by Jules, was good too. Did a random call to jules and asked for a place to eat. Ha! Loved the grilled king salmon because it's difficult to find people who could grill/cook salmon without compromising the juiciness and sweetness found in salmon. This was one reason why i've always preferred sashimi but E was not a letdown to my tastebuds. :) Was in the hands of good company too, with miss kee and mr wee. Hahaha i bet they never realised how similar their last names were.

Was photographed by my brother at west coast few weeks ago. Kinda fun and less nerve wrecking since he's my brother rather than some other photographer whom i don't know. Pretty photos! Thanks bro!
WARNING! Narcissist at work.




Another song that reminds us how we miss our childhood.


I'm feeling rough, I'm feeling raw, I'm in the prime of my life
Let's make some music, make some money, find some models for wives
I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and f*ck with the stars
You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars

This is our decision to live fast and die young
We've got the vision, now let's have some fun
Yeah, it's overwhelming but what else can we do
Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

Forget about our mothers and our friends
We were fated to pretend
To pretend
We were fated to pretend
To pretend

I'll miss the playgrounds and the animals and digging up worms
I'll miss the comfort of my mother and the weight of the world
I'll miss my sister, miss my father, miss my dog and my home
Yeah, I'll miss the boredom and the freedom and the time spent alone

But there is really nothing, nothing we can do
Love must be forgotten, life can always start up anew
The models will have children, we'll get a divorce
We'll find some more models, everything must run its course

We'll choke on our vomit and that will be the end
We were fated to pretend
To pretend
We were fated to pretend
To pretend

I said yeah, yeah, yeah
All right yeah, yeah, yeah
I said yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah yeah, yeah, yeah

Happy things should be remembered!

    You're my honey.


    I believe that...

    Just because you have bananas in one hand doesn't mean you can't have the honeydew on the other especially when you've already sliced it up. Poor honeydew is gonna rot and there'll not be 2nd chances. For all you know, you may realise you like honeydew more than liking bananas. Never know till you try. Give your tastebuds and your honeydew a chance, get moving and start tasting! :)

    Life


    throws you a bundle of surprises and leaves you to comprehend the meaning of it all.

    I've never had many friends whom i can call my best but i know someone who is just a ring away and would always give me a knock on my head. I'm always moving forward so fast, i forget to stop and look at the signs, think and consider before moving on again. I forgot about the rights, the lefts, the curves, the roundabouts and the shortcuts, i just go on and on till i meet the roadblocks and break down.

    I'm just an ordinary girl waiting for the faithful boy whom she loves to love her more.

    Ever since i heard my babe said this, i've been feeling the same way, "what if i never get to meet the right one & get married?" I hate loneliness and i cannot imagine the prospect of being single for the rest of my life.

    Right now, i'm just so fup. I'm a happy lil' fup fumbling my way around, just moving on, straight ahead. Saya kurang baik. Please be a little kinder to me.

    Selamat malam, sayang. xoxo

    Blogs.


    I'm sure i'm gonna be moving out of this blog once i start my work in the public sector.

    The thing about blogs is that your friends can get a glimpse of your life when you're all apart and feel a bit closer in virtual life despite the widening distance in reality.
    Unfortunately, the web domain leaves all information easily available to anyone, everyone so you can never write what really happened or what else happened in your life. Sometimes you need someone to talk to but it's kinda difficult to know who you can talk to and you'd sometimes feel that you just can't tell the truth for fear of opinions.

    Might be the weather, dampening my high spirits. Or maybe it's something else.
    School's in full steam soon. I'll miss it but i can't wait for it to end.
    Gonna climb out of this trough and stay in the peak?

    Of rainy days


    it takes a minute to fault
    where nude becomes the art
    and rain becomes the symphony of lust

    it takes a lifetime to forgive
    where nakedness is porn
    and the sun torments you as a norm

    the fallacy of passion
    tells a different story from another time
    like another world, of another era

    it was a secret rush of pent up vengeance
    that long ago urge of pouncing
    it was faith without fate

    somehow i think it wouldn't make a difference
    and that prayers are meant for desperation
    but with some hope i have left in me
    do save me from this unfortunate denial.

    Upbeats


    The first week of zoo school zoomed by. Somehow I am still feeling happy.
    • school's not very stressful yet
    • made new friends
    • linked up with old friends
    • can't wait for my new red gladiators to come home
    • my allowance is here

    :) Delightful week ahead. I hope it's infectious, exponential and snowballing!

    No Ordinary Morning


    I used to love this song when i was in JC.
    The old feelings of bittersweetness overwhelmed me when i heard this familiar dark tune over the stereo while i was doing my usual pedi/mani at Strip in HV. I could sing it but i couldnt remember the title. Now i do and I'm sharing it with you. Enjoy.




    If there was nothing that I could say
    Turned your back and you just walked away
    Leaves me numb inside I think of you
    Together is all I knew

    We moved too fast but I had no signs
    I would try to turn the hands of time
    I look to you for a reason why
    The love we had passed me by

    And as the sun would set, you would rise
    Fall from the sky into paradise
    Is there no light in your heart for me
    You've closed your eyes, you no longer see

    There were no lies between me and you
    You said nothing of what you knew
    But there was still something in your eyes
    Left me helpless and paralysed

    You could give a million reasons change the world and change the tides
    Could not give me the secrets of your heart and of your mind
    In the darkness that surrounds me now there is no peace of mind
    Your careless words undo me, leave the thought of us behind
    You could give a million reasons change the world and change the time
    Could not give me the secrets of your heart and of your mind
    In the darkness that surrounds you know there is no peace of mind
    Your careless words undo me, leave the thought of us behind

    If there was nothing that I could say
    Turned your back and you just walked away
    Leaves me numb inside I think of you
    Together is all I knew

    We moved too fast but I had no signs
    I would try to turn the hands of time
    I look to you for a reason why
    The love we had passed me by


    And as the sun would set, you would rise
    Fall from the sky into paradise
    Is there no light in your heart for me
    You've closed your eyes, you no longer see


    There were no lies between me and you
    You said nothing of what you knew
    But there was still something in your eyes
    Left me helpless and paralysed

    DeathCab is coming.


    I will always remember what you told me.



    That's what you always say when things go awry.



    Of course, i wish my little melody of love would be such sweet melancholy.



    Yes dear, we must have hope! xoxo

    Exciting times.


    Huiyi's going Dannish cupcakes! :)


    I'm happy. Even Mr J says so. That's on top of not preparing for tomorrow's tutorial. 3 Chapters. Horrible. And not reading any literature for my thesis. Plus having only 10bucks in my expensive wallet because i've not received my allowance frm a certain ministry.


    Don't count your chicks before they hatch.
    I still hope Christmas came early this year. :) Wish me good luck!

    Damn Unpretty


    I hate it when people make me feel inadequate.
    Especially when they lie.
    I swear my fragile <3 dropped alittle and went cold.

    Thick-skinned, I'm banging on the doors of 4.

    When will i get really lucky for a really long time?

    This was how we were.


    The Welcome Ceremony. :))
    Always a blind affair to cultivate trust in your future fellow hallmates.
    with anna n jeremy
    Took care of our juniors with kaiwen and xiujun and jerry and meilin.
    The Year 4s. Really the senior ones. *sobs*
    kaiwen!
    me n xiujun
    oldies in TH
    My ALL TIME FAVOURITE! You're not a true blue Temasekian if you've never been on a joyride down & up the slopes of TH. :D Last year last chance. Lucky i had clara to soapride down with moi. :))

    THE slope

    Whoopppeeee!
    whoooppeee!
    tormenting fun
    clara n i
    Sucha wonderful event, dearly missed by all the oldies and there were those who came back to join the fun! :)
    seniors galore
    CURAR!
    The group i joined randomly and felt very welcomed in. xoxo

    the 3 girlies n their sticks
    Orientation was fun. However it reminded me of how few of the year4s are left & the ones i'm closer with are all gone. Oh, how lonely. :( Well, shall still try to enjoy my last year. :))
    I miss being silly, gossipy, high on wailing, high on laughing and i miss us being young and being close to each other by being open to each other.
    I miss Nat as a roomie.
    I miss yilynn, cheowlu & yiwen as neighbours in the A2 corner.
    I miss opening my door to linda.
    I miss Transkei!
    Hall is definitely a great choice.
    A little longer, will you stay
    it wasn't a simple filler for emptiness
    For me it was more
    Like the rain that falls
    Like the current that flows
    It was natural and beautiful
    That perfect warm glow of candle light to a sleepy pitch night
    A little longer, will you stay
    it wasn't a customary gesture of need
    For me it was more.

    Read to kill...


    Boredom.

    For hot gossips on the latest discoveries of a certain dawn, here are 2 websites. Maybe from the same authors but they sure have free time and sure abhor the girl. It's a fun read since most of us already heard of most of the stuff mentioned about her when she first appeared in the scene.

    And surprise surprise! Singapore girls made it to the top 10 sexiest girls outside USA because of our accents?

    Unfortunately our male counterparts did not make it to the list.
