10 Things i realised today, that i LOVE
1. I love listening to good music on the bus. Especially if its a long journey. Makes me feel like i'm in a MTV or something. At night, you get to watch the lights go by and hear Bon Jovi slamming on his guitar.... PERFECT.
2. I love the smell of lemons. Lemons in tea. Lemons with tea. Not Lemon air freshener. Only fresh lemons.
3. After catching Viva Las Vegas on the Turner Classic Movies channel on cable just now, i realise that there ain't no hiding it no more.. i am completely and utterly, head over heels, crazy gaga in love with Elvis. When he pouts he lips, dances like he broke his leg, sings those sentimental love songs or does silly "there's ants in my pants" dances the silly-ier he looks the more i can't help but GUSH. AH! there! I SAID IT.
4. I Lurve having mass in school. It just shows that when people are willing to welcome Him, it can be a touching experience anytime and anywhere. I mean you can have 300 people having mass together in a GRAND church but IF everyone is just going through the routine, not letting go and prasing him from the heart then its just another mass. Whenever we have masses on Fridays, its people who gave up partying and relaxing on fridays, at 6,giving up time with family, with books,with the internet and CHOOSING to be in His presence. L.O.V.E.L.Y
5. I love smelly food. I love bitter yucky food. yup bitter gourd, smelly tofu, brocolli, durian.. smellier better..YUMS
6. I love GUYS who can sing and dance and not look like a complete GOOF.
7. I love people who inspire me to be a better person. Whether knowingly or not, they show you that you have to continually better yourself so that one day, MAYBE you can have their courage, strength, wisdom or love for others.
8. I love the musky smell of really old buildings. Its kinda an old, wet..wierd smell that probably would sound really gross if i were to try to describe it, but i just love it.
9. I love watching kids that are still innocent, sincere and adorable. I think kids are losing their innocence. They talk back, they yell at their maids, they disrespect their grandmas, they go to phonics classes and speech and drama classes, arts classes and advance mathematics classes they can even correct you if you mispronounce their names. But they cant't just sit quiet and smile at the world around. They cannot laugh at themselves. They refuse accept that somethings, like LOVE are always silly and abstract. They do everything they are expected to, but nothing their hearts tell them to.
10. I love being able to love. ¶ 8:40 AM 0 comments

do u hear me?
the moment i got here, the words just wun come out. Not really that i got nothin to blog about, more like i don't know where to start.
isn't it interesting that most people don't think much of stress, pressure and unattainable expectations unless it they are the ones suffering. Only then does it become something everyone should stop what they are doing and pay attention to.
Is it fair for a prata shop to refuse to sell 'kosong'(plain) pratas? i mean they are THERE. in fact putting the egg in is an extra step. people who ask for kosong pratas actually get turned away. its egg or nothin. The owner does have the right to sell whatever he wants though. heck he can sell ONLY avocado-bak kwa prata if he wants.
how is it human possible to hate someone cause you love them? you wouldn't give a damn if you didn't love. but if you love, you should be able to forgive, overlook, be patient?
How does one learn not to care? not caring is easier-only if you have the guts to face what results from not caring. not caring can also easily become total numbness, which is good if you consider the no more pain part but you do also lose the joy and the love.
why to people enjoying starting disagreements but always lack the guts to see the fight through? i mean ah-bengs make use their fists more than their heads but at least they act. they defend what they believe to be important. most of the time its their egos they defend. but they defend it. i get extremely irritated when people pick fights by purposely uttering some snide,sacarstic remark. i mean its only about 2 notch louder than your usual voice and all you can do is hope the person hears it and has enough brain to realise its them you're trying to get to. i think, either you maintain composure and confront the person with as much niceness you can manage OR you confront. actually theres really no need to be rude.Don't do it the corward's way otherwise you are really no different.
why do ants eat everything? appear everywhere? check each other out so often and appear and disappear all of a sudden? ¶ 8:26 AM 0 comments

BIG TWOs
Belated Photos from:
I cant really believe that we're celebrating the BIG 21s. Its kinda scary while exciting. Luckily, we're doing it together which means that we can party together, get drunk together, hangover together and do it again together!! plus, getting old together means discount booking at the Old Folks Home :)
I love photo montages. They capture everything. The colours, the excitement, the flood of emotions that hit when you look at em. If i could, i would wanna make a giant montgage of All the people, things, Tv show, movies,food,animals etc that i love.. it would be HUGE. I would look at it and feel so blessed and satisfied.

Dearest brother Sun,
Hi. I realised we havent seen each other for a really long time. I'm sorry. I'm was so glad i got to see you again this morning. I couldn't stop smiling the whole day.I had gotten used to not seeing you and its made me so down. I know i've been spending too much time with that rain-fella and neglected you, but its really not my fault, why didn't you visit? Hanging out with rain hasn't been fun at all, i really missed you. I miss the swimming, the cycling, the tanning we used to do.Rain isn't a outdoors kind of person, so whenever i'm with him, we end up staying at home alot. Why did you stay away for so long huh? did we do something to upset you? Are you upset that we invented sunglasses and transition lenses to avoid direct contact with you, or are you upset that we have sun block to bounce you off? i know i know you're just upset that theres a korean superstar called rain right? tsk haiyO... you must remember that you had your glory days tOo.. SUN yanzi?? Sun Yat Sen??? so Brudder... next time don't like that kay.. i got the sniffles for you

UPDATES
here i am. fresh from my battle with the monster we call CORS. My battle wounds still sting but FEAR NOT, I WILL HEAL. Other then pulling my hair out in front of the computer, i've been spring cleaning, dog-sitting, ecp-ing and braces wearing.
My mum is rEally glad that she raised me so big and strong and FULLY utilised my muscles during spring cleaning. Lift the sofa, lift the bed, life the tables, carry newspapers.. climb here climb there..in case you didn't know, my mum's kinda..erm.. vertically challenged and so she made good use of my height (although not much) too. Spring cleaning went on from monday till thursday.
on wednesday, i became dog-sitter for a day because my aunt's flight got delayed. After sitting children, houses, fishes, plants and now dogs, i have reached a whole NEW level of sitting-ability. The dogs were so cute lah and just happy to see familiar faces after being stuck in the pet hotel for weeks. Its just so amusing to hear my mum scolding the dogs instead ahhaha :) it kinda freaked my dad though because she started nagging the dogs..."i told you all not to dirty the place! see lah" "who are you scolding?" "Bo bo and JJ lah" *dad looks puzzled, shakes head and walks away* smart move dad! stay away... hahahah looks like the motherly instinct in her is just too strong. When she went out to the back stairs to get the clothes, Bobo made a dash for the stairs like a prisoner trying to escape from Changi and then i heard..." BOBOoooooooooo NoOOOoooo COooome BACkkkkkkk...wHOooops...AHhhhhh..Stop runniiing YOU Arh you silly dog..." and then seeing her flustered face from chasing him was priceless! apparrently when she started chasing him, the dog thought she was playing so he started running faster and wagging his tail...
On thursday night, mum made what she called muffins but they were flat and outta shape and looked more like banana cake humiliated by being forced into muffin cups, forced to live a life of shame as lowly wannabe pseudomuffins. Those poor things...
Friday went east coast cycling, got caught in the rain, got drenched and over exposed! think white t-shirt and pink sports bra... *yikes* later in the eveing, i finally got my braces done...don't thinl i'll ever smile again.. i look.. Eeeeee and so... looking forward to seeing you all in school yeah... ciao~! ¶ 4:24 AM 0 comments

Random PIGs
This was my breakfast on Christmas morn.
Pancakes (shaped like christmas tree!)
Fresh Peaches.
Maple Syrup.
Chrissy Present i really wanted. Got it after much intensive hinting. But you should really check out the duet by Josh Groban and Sarah McLachlan (Angel)
One really shouldn;t do your nails after drinking. Unless of course you want black nails with smiley faces on it.
Ice wine is yummy. Yummier when you have it with designer chocolate. *drools* ¶ 7:56 AM 1 comments
