let's take things as they come
i believe this can be something
so let's not leave this to chance
it wasn't easy finding you
oh you can't imagine
not planning on letting you go
so you'd better be prepared
churning out stuff at the speed of light!
ha, not really.
12:05 am
don't wanna be apart from you nowcos' i'm lovin' every moment
it's gonna be hard to say goodbye
but let's leave that to another day
keep the worries far away
and revel in this magical beginning
it's just a start, so not the end
doesn't even come close
love doesn't wait for no one
love doesn't come by easy
in this world of misery
so don't you let it go
don't you let it go by
grab it while you can
i'm feeling high and light now
cos your eyes are like wine to me
i wanna drink you in and let you fill me up
don't wanna leave it till tomorrow
who knows if we have more time
just please revel in this moment
it's just a start, of something new
oh don't you find it so new
love doesn't wait for no one
love doesn't come by easy
in this world of misery
so don't you let it go now
boy don't you let it go by
grab it while you can
you don't want to regret
when you get there too late
and there's no one left but you and you alone
the streets are empty
let's be crazy
and dance like lovers in a movie
grab the chance while you can
cos love doesn't wait for no one
love doesn't come by easy
you don't wanna live in misery
if you let it go now
you will find that somehow
you'll be the one feeling empty
so grab it while you can
grab it while you can
*yay!*

today i discussed with KY iac stuff online.
managed to complete most of it so... YAY! :}
i think we still have a ppt left though.
eesh.
but it's all good.
am still stuck for speech ideas.
writcomm outline drives me nuts.
radio... :(
family went out in the evening for dinner!
:}
i'm glad to say it was a good dinner.
i'm pretty sure most of us were in neutral to good spirits!
drove along GEYLANG.
dad was trying to find some turtle soup shop...
and i saw THEM.
i saw it!
i saw it up close and not on TV.
quite interesting and disgusting.
but hey, that's real life for you!
in the end we ended up going back to the same old turtle soup shop we normally go when we eat turtle soup.
i DO NOT eat turtle soup okay.
i'm just sickened at the thought of eating turtle meat, and also that an innocent turtle just got killed like that.
i mean, it's an endangered species of sorts!
not much of an environmentalist, but i do care!
about certain things that is...
i did eat the omelette, and the TOFU was good!
i only eat those with rice.
aahahahah.
so i'm good.
my dad was so funny in that he didn't want to drive through ERP, which meant paying 2 bucks.
so he kept avoiding the ERP by turning to some other place.
my mom said he just wanted the satisfaction of not giving the money to them.
hahha. :}
oh then we stopped at KALLANG RIVER (by accident)
and we got out and walked... for a while.
went back to... LAU PA SAT!
where we met my aunt's family for SATAY!!!!
satisfyingggggg.
my iced teh tarik was goooood.
:D
then we left after an hour?
dad brought us to see the orchard lightings.
not that great.
but whatever!
it was one of the longest times we were out together!
so i'm grateful for that!
and now i'm back.
:(
sad cos i now have to think about the work piling up.
psh.
klater!
12:04 am
this is so sad.
i now have MORE WORK THAN EVER.
Friday, December 26, 2008 10:14 pm
i hardly am able to read a book anymore.
my attention span has shrunk over the course of this year.
i can't even read a few pages without wanting to do something else.
:(
but i finally resolved to reading Brisingr!
and well, all i have to say is it's AWESOME to finally be able to pick up a book and get engrossed in it.
---
today was spent at the hospital because i was doing a check-up.
so tired now...
anyway...
is anyone up for Jason Mraz's 5th March 09 concert at Indoor Stadium?
I finally have something to look forward to!
Thursday, December 25, 2008 11:21 pm
i saw you in the hallwaystaring at her again
you say you'll get her number
but how will you begin?
you know i'll be there for you
but when will you just see
the one who's gonna love you
is no one else but me
so maybe it takes time
but i can't wait anymore for you
i don't wanna waste away this innocence
it's been so long why can't you notice
i've never loved a boy more than you
but you don't see me like i see you
10:49 pm
10:36 am
had one of the worst nights ever.
i woke up around 2 am because i had a terrible and horrible nightmare.
i was so fucking scared it would come true i even went into his room to check.
then i cried in bed.
and i prayed.
and i calmed down.
honestly, it was so damn scary.
i NEVER want to have a nightmare like this ever again.
Wednesday, December 24, 2008 10:31 pm
it's Christmas Eve.
i should be feeling excited.
happy...
... FESTIVE!!!!
but no, i am feeling none of the above.
probably cos' it just feels like any other day.
or maybe because it's not a time which we celebrate much.
anyway;
met KY at BPP today at 11.
freaking hell.
i took the wrong bus and had to waste my bus money. :(
i am very particular about that because i just see my 24 dollars shrink to 6 in just a week.
sigh.
but anyway, we bought "party" food...
which consisted of SAMOSA (not my idea), CHICKEN BURGER PATTIES (my idea :D), CHEESE, DRINKS, and ONION RINGS.
we meant to cook them ourselves, but angella asked her maid to do it.
it looked good when she gave it to us!
:o
must've used tons of oil...
ahaha.
but yeah, we gave her the puzzle present.
and did the gift exchange.
I CANNOT BELIEVE KY ACTUALLY GAVE A SANDWICH MAKER AS A PRESENT.
like, -_-|||
totally unexpected.
totally unexpected.
TOTALLY UNEXPECTED LA!!!!!!
luckily i didn't get it.
or i wouldn't be able to explain in to the rents.
so damn funny when haha, (EUGENE) opened KY's present.
woooo, angella likes my chocolates that i gave right??????
she gave me chocolates back lorrrrr.
then we played monopoly.
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
gosh, i've never really had that much fun playing that game!
haha, angella was slow on the uptake of Co-Owning title deeds.
by the time she wanted to, we were well into winning the game!
plus, it was the LONDON version, damn cool!!!!!
anyway, angella lost because she went bankrupt.
ihahahaha.
then we stopped playing.
woooooooooooo!
hm, then i came home, and went to my uncle's house for dinner!
sausages, home-made mashed potato, roast chicken, sparkling grape juice, perrier, agar agar!!!
oh and spare ribs!
i even got to try some dessert wine and egg nog!
ahha..
so that was my day.
really have to start on my assignments.
i just got reminded of the amount of work we have.
i think it increased. :|
k bye!
AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!
12:06 am
oh christ, i suck at gift wrapping and choosing gifts.
my confidence has just been deflated.
i'm going to bed and cry myself to sleep now.
k thanks bye.
-------
no. inspiration.
Monday, December 22, 2008 10:13 pm
haha, ky asked me today while reading my blog, what book i was reading.
because of the teensy paragraphs i've been writing lately.
you know the ones that are COLORED?
yeah, she asked what BOOK it was from!!!!
that means it's good enough to be in a book already!
HAHAHAHAHAAHHAHA.
what a healthy boost of confidence eh?
but nah, these things just come up off the top of my head.
it's called freewriting... *rolls eyes*
anyway, spent the late morning doing radio in school...
see how efficient and hardworking people we are?
you should learn from us!
:}
but yeah, we did manage to get something done i guess.
eesh, it's starting to get out of control!!!!
:(
but ky and i went to watch ANGUS THONGS AND PERFECT SNOGGING later!
had lunch first, at cineleisure's basement. :}
then she HAD to buy a drink, and the queue was so long, we ended up missing the first part of the show.
*appalled, shocked and everything to do with unbelievable*
yeah, all your fault la KY!!!!
some more say i owe you eternal servitude.
LET THIS BE CLEAR!
i do not owe you eternal servitude anymore after this incident.
YOU just owe me the coding of my blog layout.
so there.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
but the movie was damn good?
i mean, better than the monstrosity Twilight.
gosh.
I think British-made films are better man.
just look at BEND IT LIKE BECKAM and LOVE ACTUALLY.
ohhhhhhhh.
and aaron johnson in the movie was friggin' H-O-T!!!!
i think so... from some angles k?
:}
wooooooooooooo....
hm, well i have nothing much to say now.
except that I WANNA GO ICE SKATING.
ha.
He looks so beautiful when he sleeps, she thought. Oh how she would give anything to just stop what she was about to do, but... she could not. It was not in her power. Forced. Unwilling. Why me? I cannot do this. She took in a shaky breath, careful to not let a single sound out of her mouth. It had to be quick, so no one would notice. She could not imagine the look in his eyes as he would come to realize that she was the one. She stepped forward, slowly and reluctantly. Hesitating, she raised her right hand, the hand holding the weapon that would propel her to eternal damnation if she ran it across his neck. The blade glimmered in the pale moonlight, which had filtered through through the windows. The quiver in her breath, the chill down her spine... She closed her eyes and bit her lips...... so was the end.
Sunday, December 21, 2008 11:37 pm
have been busy with my blog layout that i am designing myself!
and ky has promised to code it as long as i swear myself to eternal servitude to her.
hm, when one gets as desperate as i do to change, i have no choice have i?
haha.
The sound of her laughter seemed to linger in the air forever. He swore on everything he had (which wasn't much) that he still felt her presence. It just didn't occur to him that she was gone. The thoughts started closing in on him, squeezing whatever air he had in his lungs, it was suffocating him. Still, he lay there on the couch, taking in every familiar scent, imagining every familiar sound that reminded him of her. It was useless to resist. He was irrevocably sinking into the abyss of despair. Too much in love was he, that nothing could stop him from thinking her gone. She was not gone, he kept telling himself. She would come back, she would not abandon him, not in his time of need. Nonsense, what nonsense.
Friday, December 19, 2008 11:07 pm
well, thursday went about well enough.
i think we kind of covered everything we wanted to do in one day.
hahaha.
reached hillary's house at 10am or so i think.
got dropped off at sunway pyramid!
freedom is okay.
pizza hut in malaysia seriously lacks the standard of that in singapore.
ice skating after lunch was... crowded.
didn't get much skating done, but i am amazed at myself for not falling at all!!!!
in fact, i'm even feeling the urge to go skating in singapore!
:o
but then again, there IS SOME FUN in going round and round in circles on ice.
there was this guy though, who was HILARIOUSLY inept in the skating department.
not to be mean, but he kept on slipping on the ice and falling.
i even saw him squeeze the water out of his glove.
it was just a YOU HAD TO BE THERE TO EXPERIENCE IT moment.
seriously, a danger hazard!
i would like stop in my tracks whenever he came near.
oh what a laugh we had.
the thing that made it funnier was that he seemed to be mentally cursing himself whenever he fell.
kudos for trying so hard though.
:}
after skating for two hours... i think we kind of got bored because it was too crowded.
so we went around shopping!
i bought the gift exchange thing.
which is good.
OH YEAH.
i got my starbucks fix!!!
:D:D:D:D:D:D
toffee nut frapp!
pictures when i get back.
then we went to eat wonton mee at this dodgy outdoor, carpark place.
the mee was great!
the guy cooking the mee was flinging the mee up so high!!!
and he caught it in the bowl.
:o
like awesome shizz you'll never see anywhere!
we went to a pasar malam next.
so many things!!!!
we ate APOM, which is like this love letter kind of batter and pan fried and eaten crispy and hot.
my description is lousy.
but yeah.
i saw this steamboat thing, where it's part of the truck.
and lots of pirated stuff.
we walked a round and came out.
interesting day huh!!!!
----
today was just lazing around, and sleeping throughout the whole day.
:D
and hillary says she is hyper now.
8-)
okay, bye.
5:31 pm
the anger has dissipated.
quite fast i may add.
i wasn't that pissed really.
just... annoyed.
ha.
time to change blogskins again.
sigh.
5:25 pm
i hate the word gift exchange already.
it's the holidays?!
why am i stressing over stuff to get for people!?
but, yeah, i bought the gifts.
practical.
and what is it with so many people getting the same blogskin as mine?!
JUST WHEN I CHANGED IT EVERYONE FREAKING DECIDES THAT IT'S TIME TO CHANGE THEIRS AS WELL AND PICK THE FUCKING SAME SKIN AS MINE.
ARGH!!!!!!!
i don't like being the same.
UNIQUE.
UNIQUE DAMNIT.
grrr.
Wednesday, December 17, 2008 10:31 pm
His scent was intoxicating. It smelt like freshly plucked mint, with a mixture of cigarettes a day old and the musky, tangy aftershave he always used. She smiled at the thought of him walking down the hallway, passing her. In that one millisecond, she was thrown back into the world where only they existed. Oh how she wished he would just notice her, but she was nobody. She was nothing to him. She didn't stand a chance, not at all.
i am so bored.
am flying in to malaysia tomorrow!
will get my shopping spirit up!
and ice-skating... wooooooooo!
yes, i can ice-skate, why do you keep underestimating me!?
