So I've decided to stay on Blogger, has served me well since 2006.
Yes Sir! Blue is the way to go. For now at least.
It is supposedly my lucky color. We shall see heh.
Monday, January 16
We were very excited to shop at Changi City Point though a little skeptical at first.
Its new, I like that you don't have to butt-knock with frenzy CNY shoppers.
You guys should check out that place sometime.
Mega buy from G2000!
Wish there was a better picture. Iphone has its limitations.
Should I jump on the Tumblr bandwagon?
But this space is where all my memories are stacked.
So maybe I'll just edit the template... starting to look too yellow.
Random entry yeah you know the serious part always comes after some rambling. ;b

Disappointment is an understatement.

Two days to submission, 3000-word essay untouched.
2500-word essay stuck at half.
If I were to complete in time I must be a genius!

Sunday, December 4
One of the best weekends in a long while.
Times like these you know you can only count on family.
To breakaway from whatever disguise put on for the outside world,
to crumble and just be yourself--be afraid, flustered, be gloomy even....
not needing to struggle against the blues.
They will understand. If they can't, they accept you in spite of it all.
Although usually a big joker to us Daddypops isn't a person good with affection.
But lately I see that he has made my problem his problem.
He's starting to listen, instead of just providing solutions.
Digging through a colorful archive of life stories
he's like a careful doctor injecting positivity into every part of my being.
I see how far he'd go. I see how much he wants me to lose that frown.
During our early morning walk at Botanic Gardens
pacing step by step he said this:
"Everyone's darkest hour lasts no longer than 60 minutes.
We live with what we get."
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyay my HERO, or 师奶杀手
Very handsome now right?!!! *beams*
As of today I haven't found it in me to express xo freely
(Pops hinted the other time he'd appreciate hugs from us so cute!)
but I love you very much. Thankyous' never enough.
Never Say Never.
I believe in the above, and not because its title of a Justin Bieber movie.
Haha though yesss I adore the boy.
Never Back Down.
Coincidentally title of another movie.
But I refuse to take the 'never back down' approach.
As much as we can insist, and persist in an attitude or task,
there comes a time we all need to check ourselves.
Otherwise life becomes a more difficult journey than necessary.
Thats what I think so yeah.
We shouldn't confuse the two.

"Make Love, Not War"
But war doesn't only exist between nations;
sometimes a lifelong struggle within the family... amongst best friends.
The scariest being when war lies within yourself.
"Make Love, Not War"
This is how people learn to get back on their feet right?
Hence my current windows wallpaper.
I need some time alone.
Wait for me, if you're my loved one. (:
He's such a gem I hate to lose, yet incapable of holding.
___
Life has taken its toll on me.
I wish I could write about happier things but to be honest
such immense discomfort and worrying thoughts are lethal when combined.
And somehow or rather, Im the only one to blame.
Coming clean.
For a good half year I indulged in alcohol every weekend,
a package deal of late nights and crashing after sunrise.
The routine was addictive with awesome friends.
At that point of time, no telltale signs that my body struggled to keep up.
It is true. Tons of people enjoy a havoc lifestyle with no serious consequences.
Hell, I don't even smoke nor drink excessively. So why me?
There's no asking why. Some are blessed, some more unfortunate.
I just happen to be the latter.
It is unimaginably frightening.
Because I can do without a lot of things but no, not my sight.
Even the slightest possibility pulls me into worry-wart mode.
We take for granted. We panic way too late.
Anyway Im alright friends, will definitely keep the faith going.
Over the past year I've learnt to complain less.
You fuss about a problem and the problem seems to multiply.
Gotten to the point where I might disappear for a bit to compose myself, by myself.
Hahahaha does it make any sense?
Im thankful for every one of your texts, shall say it again--I love yall. To Bbam especially in spite of my cowardly move
still you're trying your best to be here for me.
From the very start (slurry/nonsensical/always gettin into silly fixes haha)
giving "developed"advice whenever Im a helpless state of mind.
Thank you thank you thank you. :]
And here's what I have to push me the extra mile:
The Devil has put a penalty on all things we enjoy in life. Either we suffer in health or we suffer in soul, or we get fat. Albert Einstein
The health of the eye seems to demand a horizon.
We are never tired, so long as we can see far enough.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Faith and prayer are the vitamins of the soul;
Man cannot live in health without them.

I want her hair, the length of curls just right!
But hmmmm.... what if it makes me look like a kid?!
HOW NOW BROWN COW. (TBG's current phrase haha)
Sunday, October 23
Look at how much Meatball (left, obviously :b) has grown!
Hahahaha they're so dam cute just the photo makes me grin from ear-to-ear.
Ran 4 km today (gym feels awesome after such a long hiatus)
and a good movie makes the night even better.
So Punkie and I took a quick shower before driving out.
Yay big fans of chillax dates we were both in....
Hoodies! And Im gonna buy me more comfort wear, heh.
Anyway as if Hugh Jackman and Dakota Goyo (kid star) didn't already rock the screen,
the movie's soundtrack is equally dope. Mega badass!!
When I first saw the trailer--"ohmy gosh. isn't that Till I Collapse"
One of Eminem's earlier songs (2002 thats like, 9 years ago yeaaaah)
cus back then I was totally hooked on it.
Till the roof comes off Till the lights go out Till my legs give out Can't shut my mouth Till the smoke clears out And my high burns out Imma rip these shit Till my bones collapse
"Studies have proven that listening to music strengthens the right-hemisphere of the brain.
It literally changes the structure.
Those same studies have found that people who listen to music are generally smarter
and have more emotional intelligence than those who don’t."
For real? I spend at least 2 hours on music everyday!
Haha then again, people who listen to a lot of music are rather um, eccentric.

Remember saying I'll post this but never did.
My favorite electric guitarist.
'Formal' message. From him its cutest--I swear cutest ever.
Reading it makes my heart melt.
But it also makes my eyes tingle with sadness.
This, is exactly why I've come to like you
so much so myself found it hard to believe.
Really one of a kind.
I'll definitely miss you.
I know it because you're still here and I feel that lil tug.
Im thankful enough our paths even crossed.
Would never trade the chance for anything in the world.
And yes, probably no one checks in here anymore so....
wedding pictures for you sta*ker Bammbam.
Our marriage very rocking, very havoc. I likeeee.
Tuesday, September 6
Gee, more than a month since I last logged in.
Been busier than usual with this semester's Digital Media unit--
creating a video portrait from scratch.
All the filming and editing slots took up the weekends...
but still I had to party to balance out the stress.
So life has been two extremes; you find me either at school or in the club.
Ha ha ha.
I need to quit procrastinating and pen down one million thoughts.
My Aquarian head is burstg from the one million thoughts.
I have been very happy with recent company.
Despite seeing the same faces almost every Friday and Saturday,
I enjoy moments of sprightly zest right down to the comedic suppers.
As the end of Sept nears, this bunch of awesome people will be gone
and I guess we gotta deal.
Tuesday, July 19
I-I love you like a love song baby And I keep it in re-pe-pe-peat
Helluva catchy!
Thursday, June 23
DC paper was better than expected.
Tomorrow's dedicated to report and Saturday--Saturday is PLAY.
Whazzup folks.
I wonder who still checks this space... to you reading,
hurhur, thanks for having faith!
0349, just had a last dose of coffee.
(I don't usually take coffee but it works like drug to keep me awake.
A must-drink for long nights.)
Been sleeping at 6AM to catch up, complete assignments on time bla.
Final exam this Thu--Debating Comms.
Hooray 'cause we received an extension--Report to a Client Mon 27 Jun!
Shall rush it by Friday anyway.
Need the weekend to let loose, going mad from theories in my head.
重点:
I PROMISE TO UPLOAD ALL THE OVERDUE VIZUALS.
From February. Massive flood of faces.
I PROMISE TO UPLOAD ALL THE OVERDUE VIZUALS.
Will be back after uh, alls done with this semester okay?
Which is very very, very soon. Cannot wait.
Alright enough.
If you ever loved somebody put your hands up If you ever loved somebody put your hands up Now they're gone and you wish you could give them everything
Collaboration by fave Youtube artistes. / P.o.r as I mug.

Monday, June 6
NO MORE PARTYING TILL JULY.
Reports, gym and chillack days... Yippedoo!
Yes I have remnants of love left. There's nothing to hide.
But to move on was never about accepting someone new.
It is for me, envisioning his happiness.
And Im almost near.
Be smiling again in the morning.
Thank you angels.
Sunday, May 29
The things I do to myself.
Sometimes, being ahead of the game you know what hurts.
You know what not to click. Still it doesn't stop you.
Thank God the drinks last night has me feeling a little numb today.
I should be alright and I really am.
This - is just an uneasy tug from within.
Down with mad cough/throat for almost a month.
Unable to sing (helllll that sucked), gym or even focus in class.
Now all the med's done but sickness isn't.
And the room seems to be closing in on me.
Shall go take a jog.
Teeheh REFRESH CAROL!
Sunday, May 22
Sam oh Sam Tsui, with a voice and smile like that
who would ever hold it against you?
Lazy Sunday. Playing on repeat.
Recent posts are mostly videos but you know music really makes up my world.
To just chillack at home, laze on the bed,
listen to some awesome covers, google lyrics and sing along...
Yeah thats my idea of a good ol stay-in day.
Bored? So am I.
Here's cold entertainment after the jump.
ps: Please finish the song first or I'll hold it against you.
By jinxed coincidence my closest girls have reclaimed singlehood
in a span of 2 months or less, including dearest Sissy.
I think we are fortunate though, to have each other for company.
I didn't really reach out to anyone last year (by choice) because they were then committed.
It felt like I was better dealing alone.
Just glad that we all share a common understanding now
instead of whining about life or blaming the people.
So lately Im guilty (!) but not too guilty, of partying more than usual.
Guess in recognizing my own flaws and learning from the past...
Im actually enjoying the alcohol, the dancefloor, the interesting convos
and being genuinely happy with fantastic friends.
+++ DON'T SLUT IT UP / PARTY LIKE A ROCKSTAR +++

You're gonna catch a cold From the ice inside your soul
Friday, April 29
Life is good.
School, awesome stayovers and laugh-till-you-drop friends.
Literally. I remb rolling on the floor, clutching my stomach side
and ohhh at one instance.... tearing even. - _-)
Must-watch. Not your usual sappy plot,
instead an inventive romedy film that's fricken hilarious
and really speaks of people with different abilities to commit.
If you think about it.... how true.
"There are only two kinds of men in the world.
The ones who cheat and the ones who want to."
(十个男人九个坏,一个想作怪。)
To this the female lead retorts 那我要找第十一个。
Hahahahhaha!!
Might be a long wait but Mister Eleven exists.
Once you start doubting, you'll never find him.
Sunday, April 24
Someone mentioned above is from the male perspective
but it doesn't make a difference, does it.
How many of you have been through this cycle more than once?
I have. Exactly why I'd rather be alone now.
There are no fluctuating or declining stages to fret about.
To me the final outcome of breaking apart acts like gravity.
Eventually, my dear girlfriends and I will overcome that pull with the right one.
High up we won't ever go back where we started.
Strangers again? Nah.
Monday, April 18
10,001 things to blog about.
But sho fricken lazy.... how?!???
Went to the gym instead. Finally a productive workout session!
Small girl vigorously pedalling while head-bobbing to rock tunes.
Must have been quite a mad sight ha ha.
Flood of pictures soon.
For now check out Boyce Avenue please. They're awesome acoustic.
How nice it is to have someone special sing for you. Dontya think? #mysecretfantasy
Made a wrong turn once or twice
Dug my way out blood and fire Bad decisions that's alright Welcome to my silly life
Last Friday - 38.9.
Today (a week later) - 38.8.
This is not cool. I was looking forward to the weekend.
Now its more brain damage party than paradise. :(
The end of semester calls for a post.
Screwed the finals yest but thats okay, because it was a mass-screwing thing.
Hahahaha. *insert half of middle finger*
What was Fang thinking when she set the dam paper.
Nandos with my class, then Sanctum.
Sure it cannot compare to Avatar but I appreciate the father-son relationship.
And how they didn't let Carl recover like he never just saw his girlfriend (spoiler).
Because thats hardly possible. Physically or mentally.
Timbre @ Old School for celebratory drinks.
Maybe ice-breaking too. ;b
Revealed my tolerance or non, to them. I really need to step up.
Thank you all.
you who is happiness in the simplest way possible,
Come stand by me.
I am a deep thinker. That I won't deny.
Even so the people I cherish most are ironically the ones who do not evoke my thoughts.
I love the people I don't have to spend time analyzing, scrutinising and then quietly judging.
Tis, triggered by an auto-defense mechanism.
The ones that are easy going, contented,
the non schemers, non bitches and non complicated.
Hardly an intentionally bad thought in mind they make the (my) world such a better place.
The ones I feel safe with.
Because when you finally tire of all the drama
you just want to go home to these gems (extremely rare).
So if you'll listen and share, laugh with me, sing about life, enjoy hearty meals together; if you are happiness in the simplest way possible, Come stand by me.
I've not much to promise you but my true self.
This is my most recent ambition.

I am flying~ happy now, Longnecker extended the submission.
One day but still time. Forgot to upload these previously.
02.02.11 CHINESE NEW YEAR EVE
Family. Yes I am morphing into Daddypops.
Everyone, you are not allowed to say my Dad is less than handsome.
Insanely busy with school.
Finals round the corner, two bigass reports due.
Shall squeeze a visual update 'cause photos are piling up.
Do not wince. Yes Im blogging about CNY, now.
But clearly for now there's only one route I should follow.
We don't take angels from the sky.
Tuesday, March 8
Started voice-blogging on i3G a while back
and at 0148AM last night/this morning I recorded another.
Maybe one day soon I'll post them up here.
So last night I tossnturn'ed as usual.
It was a random thought that made me ponder;
there are optimistic people around me who seem to embrace happiness.
I used to see it as bullshit - a cliche life-motivational phrase.
But taking time to comprehend the meaning of
Live Every Day Like It's Your Last,
it makes all the sense you couldn't have imagined.
If I were to know life ends tomorrow for me,
wouldn't matter how many faults my mom picked today,
the careless words she said or even the hours she nagged on...
I think I'll be okay.
This mother-daughter bond, however warped it gets, I'd want to cherish.
I think it'd be fine to realize we mightn't ever be together again
because for sure I wouldn't be around anyway
and I'll genuinely want him meeting someone better.
I would pack the day with all things good.
What are wrinkles, some fats, imperfect complexion and height inferiorities
when we're not here to stay. Nothing is here to stay.
No one is forever.
And I guess if only we could see things this way
it just makes living dam much easier.
The friend who isn't quite a good friend on closer inspection,
why does it matter since she still gave comfort, laughter and joy?
People survive (partly die) on expectations.
We become disappointed with a person who has stopped loving us
in the same way we do. Perhaps we haven't. Pain can be alleviated it seems.
People who are happy, or put enough effort trying to be,
they understand what to constantly fight for - today.
They accept that Fate's only promise is in its present.
If he leaves the past behind, then there must be some future worth looking forward.
My mom never faces up to mistakes. Permanent of her at least in this lifetime.
I should probably mend myself to leave a better ink on our relationship.
It's just not right to stand strong for a day and crumble the next.
Happiness ought to be a self-given constant no?
Time to learn how to appreciate, expand what God has blessed me with
because until the day I die this is the shell Iam living in.
Definitely not gonna be a breeze keeping up.
Nevertheless trying is better than not at all.
To my dear friends who are going thru hell,
Live Every Day Like It's Your Last and Some Day You'll Be Right.
Sometimes we fall down, can't get back up We're hiding behind skin that's too tough How come we don't say I love you enough Till it's too late, it's not too late
Our hearts are hungry for a food that won't come We could make a feast from these crumbs And we're all staring down the barrel of a gun So if your life flashed before you what would you wish you would've done Yeah gotta start
Looking at the hand of the time we've been given here This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin' it Every second counts on a clock that's ticking Gotta live like we're dying We only got 86 400 seconds in a day To turn it all around or throw it all away We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em while we got the chance to say Gotta live like we're dying
Well if your plane fell out of the skies Who would you call with your last goodbye? Should be so careful who we left out of our lives So when we long for absolution there'll be no one on the line
Soap a few minutes ago (coincidentally):
Things become better when you're happy.
Only then will you be able to attract happy things,
notice happy things, create happy things, share happy things
and gain real happiness.
Common knowledge yet overlooked by most of us.
Shall keep in mind!
Sunday, March 6
Me: .....was such an asshole! *rambling on*
Dad (mega confused face): What's asshole?
10 sec later Dad regains focus: Orrrrrrh, asshole.
Hahahahaha priceless.
"I don't use such language it needs some time to process."
25hrs out with just 2 hrs shuteye the night before is no joke.
Fell into a deep sleep and for once I had nil dreams.
Yep yesterday was hell productive.
Met Isa for breakfast, rehearsed a little, guided walk (mad relief when over).
I hate me for fearing public speaking so much.
Seems juvenile having anxiety attack when everyone else is chill pill.
Initial plan of rushing home to KO tossed away
because while eating w my classmates, movie sounded good.
Haha. Impromptu bonding. Like!
Time Crisis2 is extinct already sigh.
Some arcade fun before TAB.
Credits to Sneaky Sylvia. ;)
Chillz to acc Xg for some beer but nope no alcohol for me.
It'd have made me cranky way earlier.
Anyway Iam starting to appreciate a sober head.
Overdose of drinks during that rough period and
'hanging over' every other weekend didn't help lessen my pain at all.
Endnote. My father is really very cute.
Tuesday, March 1
I am THE WORLD'S BEST SISTER!
Compiled a disc of love-dovey songs handpicked by Sissy for K's birthday
(think If You're Not The One) at the risk of my emonster taking over.
Arranged the tracks in a very professional way hoho,
feels nice knowing the end product'll bring smiles to them.
She's coming to collect it after work. Yippeey.
Sometime before CNY11.
Had supper w Shi at favorite kwaychup place!
Whole chunk of unglamorous shots for your appreciation.
They swarm like bees but the pain came slow.... and stinging.
Every photo that should have faded by now,
intactly there, laughing at me with the irony of its non-existence.
Perhaps the past makes way not just for the new,
even the older past. Perhaps people do change.
Know too well I've become the 'voided' one.
In happier times
I remb asking him cheerily if we might fall back to strangers one day,
shouldn't have joked about it. Because one day is here.
And it seemed so impossible then.
Wednesday, February 23
Hello world!
Woke up at 0730 this morning.
Walked to my 'lifesaver' vending machine to grab a hot tomato-chicken sandwich.
Had a satisfying breakfast with apple aloe vera juice& watermelon to top it off.
Now Im full. Im heading back to bed.
Hahaha okay, no. Im going to.... study!
Quick update.
03.02.11 CHINESE NEW YEAR 初一
CNY was uneventful this year. As usual.
Big cut in number of relatives we see since the parents split in 05.
Fine I need to get over it it's been 6 years.
Grand Aunt's place, followed by Aunt Karen's for dinner.
Uh huh thats all.
A lot of time spent gorging ourselves on food and basically seated on the couch/es watching tv.
Hands occasionally stretching for red packets.
Overslept; rushed out (hair& face ).
There were just two pictures taken the entire day
>
at least I had Sissy and K's company! (:
Oh yep I wanna show yall something
.....
.....
.....
.....
I've always thought she looked like 小S. Hahahaha.
Now she might kill me for cropping her photo.
Alright, off to meet Brand Equity.
Sunday, February 20
A&P midterm coming Sat urg,
currently hibernating at home with my books.
Posting this during self-bestowed video break.
1 hour vb to every 2 hours of studying.
Plus a lot of TV and food therapy in between.
Im really kind to myself. Hahaha.
DBSK a two-member band today. Still as awesome though.
Said it before I'll say it again Jung Yunho @0:39 best K dancer.
He's trained in martial arts and it seems to pack the punch into dance.
Mega hot!!
Hahahahaha. Intense.
Not pretty like Kim Hyun Joong
(only Korean star I think gorgeous out of the many gay faces)
but there's something really charismatic about him.
Choreographs the moves, composes music, sings and raps.
Talent talent. Now he's second gorgeous.
Okay I'll quit being awestruck. Doesn't happen often.
Just done with videos so am feeling wow factor. ;D
.. Fck, I drank a mouthful of stale HL milk.
What is this? No odd smell at all!?
Shall go attempt to regurgitate it.
Ohmg.
Friday, February 18
The 'hot date' in Vday post is obviously my school.
Ohh man why are people calling to ask: WHO?!!?
Thursday, February 17
Hesitated for a long time, wondering if this should be up.
Iam going ahead... for myself.
He probably doesn't follow anyway.
Today struck hard. Not intentionally though.
The number, the month and the mind.
How much I wish I wasn't updating my calendar.
One of those what could have beens.
By the way, this isn't here to say Im still holding on.
Don't mock me please.
But letting go of a person don't mean forgetting.
I cannot look at the date and not feel a tinge of sadness.
I cannot control the sudden trance of auto-rewind.
Most people want a past relationship to become an invisible one.
They look at it that way.
I never understand why. The bond is too dam difficult to break
and so I end up tripping all over self-inflicted pain.
Guess Im someone who takes the longer route to recovery.
Yes it has cost me a lot --- pride and forsaken chances;
but time ultimately gave me a better promise to long-term happiness
than anyone else might have.
I need to love in entirety before Iam ready to try again.
>
Letting go of a person don't mean forgetting.
Occasionally I still look at our pictures and remb the best parts of us.
Your smile and everything good about you stays with me.
I hug Lennie to sleep at night and slowly he is my next best comfort,
no longer a heartaching memory.
This entry is here because today was once significant.
Maybe a year later, this very day will pass by quietly.
No matter who or whom is in our current lives
I really hope we both find contentment.
But just today, I promise,
let me write about missing.
Monday, February 14
Unlike what I expected.. Valentines' special this year.
Spending it with my hot date.
Though I have known him for less than 2 months
he's like no other I ever met.
Willingly dedicating time to me... and mostly weekends.
I find myself increasingly drawn to him.
He is interesting.
Seldom speak about him because I get stressed
having to commit some effort into this relationship.
Its not a fling. I need to be serious, he is.
This has given me a lot to think about
and today we will be working things out hopefully.
I was fricken sleepless last night.
There must be a conclusion after hours of brainstorming.
um to my awesome school. Hahahahahaha.
Submission of report due at 12 tonight.
The heck!?
Okay Iam being lame. But anyway
Spread thelove people! (;
Thursday, February 10
Been trying to juggle school and play in my life.
Apparently I reached home at 5am yesterday,
my report (due tomorrow by the way) is 1/3 done
so its not very well-balanced uh? Haha.
Lots to update.
Gotta complete the mad assignment first though.
I tweet more than I blog sheesh, and I said Twitter was dumb.
Forgot to wish myself a Happy Birthday this year.
Will do it in my later posts.
For now Imna leave you with a little boy.
All prepped up and looking fresh....
.....
.....
my bubblegum Zen. :*D
Im sure he charms the ladies in class with his relatively shy personality
and these eyelashes that are really thick and long woah.
