that's when i love you

When you have to look away

When you dont have much to say
Thats when I love you
I love you, just that way

To hear you stumble when you speak
Or see you walk with two left feet
Thats when I love you
I love you, endlessly

And when your mad cuz you lost a game
Forget Im waiting in the rain
Baby i love you,
I love you anyway

Heres my promise made tonight
You can count on me for life
Thats when i love you
When nothing you do can change my mind

The more I learn, The more I love
The more my heart cant get enough
Thats when I love you, i love you no matter what

So when you turn to hide your eyes
Cause the movie it made you cry
Thats when I love you
I love you a little more each time

And when you cant quite match your clothes
Or when you laugh at your own jokes
Thats when I love you
I love you, more than you'll know

And when you forget that we had a date
Or that look that you get when you show up late
Baby I love you, I love you anyway

Heres my promise made tonight
You can count on me for life
Thats when i love you
When nothing you do can change my mind

The more I learn, The more I love
The more my heart cant get enough
Thats when I love you,
When I love you no matter what

Thats when I love you
When nothing baby
Nothing you do could change my mind
The more I learn, The more I love
The more my heart cant get enough
Thats when I love you,
When I love you no matter what
No matter what


i miss my baby:(

Cherish Before It's Too Late

back for some updates before i get ready for work again

yesterday was my offday, and i spent it with darling
finally satisfied our steamboat craving (and the food was superb yesterday)


look at all the mushrooms in the tomyam pot *yumyum*


he was a greedy piggy, ate like tons of beef!


candid shot of me eating.. hmm cant really make out what


love love mushrooms

after that, we went to brewerkz for drinks
i had a mango margarita with sugar rim (all time fave)


<3

i wanna do a random shout out to people out there
cherish all that you've got now before its too late
now i cherish every single moment i spend with people around me
because for all you know
one day when your time or their time is up
you'll regret not cherishing them enough

whenever i open the newspapers
i see news of people losing people
yesterday, i saw how this daughter wrote a note to her mother to apologise for being stubborn
and insisting on going for a camp
but it was too late
cux at the camp, a suspension bridge broke and she is still missing
i often ask myself
if i were to leave the world now
will i have any regrets
ask yourself that too, and make sure you live everyday to its fullest

alright i gotta go for work soon
enjoy your weekends people!


i'll cherish you so i will not have any regrets <3

When I Step Into A New Stage Of My Life..



hiyeee!!!
i'm back for some updates cux i know my blog has been stagnant for some time
am still doing my internship at Brewerkz@Indoor Stadium
thanks to those who popped by to support me
was heartwarming to see familiar faces from time to time calling out my name

i am almost halfway thru with my internship
to be exact, its 12wks more
after that it'd be back to school for another month before i'm really free
wanna go overseas!! anyone interested?

internship is taking up alot of my time
thus the lack of updates
but i get the sense of achievement whenever i see the money in my bank increase
cux i know for once, this money is really hard earned
quite thankful for this company actually
i see some of my friends suffering with either long hours or politics
at least mine's better (:

but i do miss my life before
going out with friends,
sometimes till like 4-5am
then sleeping till like 2-3pm before waking up to meet friends again
i miss being able to see my darling everyday
now when i'm home, he's sometimes asleep
and when i wake up, he's at school already
i also miss meeting my clique (FULL CLIQUE)
it's been ages man cux everyone's busy with their lives now

sigh but i guess that's life
not always going the way we like it to go
and we'll just have to go with the flow

anyways despite my busy schedule
managed to squeeze some time to help the almighty photographer QI with her photostory
did it with darling and lucky and it was really a great experience!
chose two photos to share with you guys (:





alrighty gonna think of how i'm going to spend my treasured day off :D
take care people.. the weather is bizzare nowadays
till then
xoxo!!

i'm only me when i'm with you

Friday night beneath the stars
In the field behind your yard
You and I are paintin' pictures in the sky
And sometimes we don't say a thing
Just listen to the crickets sing
Everything I need is right here by my side
And I know everything about you
I don't wanna live without you

I'm only up when you're not down
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground
It's like no matter what I do
Well you drive me crazy half the time
The other half I'm only trying to let you know
That what I feel is true
And I'm only me when I'm with you

Just a small town boy and girl
Livin' in a crazy world
Tryin' to figure out what is and isn't true
And I don't try to hide my tears
My secrets or my deepest fears
Through it all nobody gets me like you do
And you know everything about me
You say that you can't live without me

I'm only up when you're not down
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground
It's like no matter what I do
Well you drive me crazy half the time
The other half I'm only trying to let you know
That what I feel is true
And I'm only me when I'm with you

When I'm with anybody else, it's so hard to be myself
Only you can tell

That I'm only up when you're not down
Don't wanna fly if you're still on the ground
It's like no matter what I do
Well you drive me crazy half the time
The other half I'm only trying to let you know
that what I feel is true

And I'm only me
Who I wanna be
Well, I'm only me when I'm with you
With you
Uh-huh
Yeah

this song reminds me of this guardian angel in my life
that allows me to be myself when i am with him
so i am dedicating this song to him
and i wanna say thankyou for being such a great unique you (:

ps: don't try to speculate people
cux you'll never guess who anyway so don't bother (:

Love Is In The Air <3

woo finally i have some time to blog

i've started my internship at Brwerkz Indoor Stadium
it's really the first time i'm actually REALLY working
so i am still trying to adapt to everything
but i do get that sense of accomplishment everyday after work
and i don't dread going to work
so i guess i am fine (:

people at work are really a fun bunch
from the servers, bar peeps, kitchen staff, stewards
they're all really great people
fun to be with
and makes work seem easier altogether

nothing much to blog
except that i am learning new stuff everyday
having fun, though my poor body is suffering from serious fatigue now
will blog more when i feel like it! :D

p/s:
i love my new blog song.. aww lovey dovey is in the air!
(dedicated to me and darling, as well as the new couple!)

p/s/s:
congrats to my dearest friend- she's attached omg!!
i smiled like an idiot at work when i saw that message from grace
but you never tell me you tell grace! not fair humph!!
to think i was the one who guessed it first :(
but still
CONGRATS!! CAN'T WAIT TO MEET MY FIRST BROTHER IN LAW

<3 <3
love is in the air

And The Last Day Has Come

the past weekend was spent unlike how i thought it'd be
instead of rushing here and there to play as much as possible
it was more of a laidback weekend
but i am appreciating it because i understand fully that in the next 5mths
having a laidback weekend is really almost an impossible luxury

on sat, went to become a tour guide with darling

brought some china girls and their mothers to the merlion park and esplanade
we couldn spend too long cux darling had to study
so yep.. just the merlion and esplanade


on our way to pick the tourists


darling is so lousy, he can't even open his eyes!!


i totally felt like a tourist myself

and today, it was church then home all the way
during service, we learnt how to build a strong family in Chirst
made everything more real with darling sitting beside me
tmr's the start of my internship
feeling a lil apprehensive i have no idea why
maybe its just the nerves acting up
after all its a totally new environment to adapt to
but i'm sure i will enjoy myself (:
till then,
xoxo

i'll miss you during the 5 mths!!

A New Member Into The Family

hey guys!
i've been great, getting all the rest i deserve (:
although i am still disturbed by the fact that my two dogs still can't accept the new baby
(but its getting better now thankfully)

three more days to the start of a new chapter of my life
5mths internship @ Brewerkz Indoor Stadium
kinda looking forward, just abit sian that the hols is coming to an end
anyway, haven officially introduced the new member of the family

LUCKY




RASCAL




and the new baby (2mths old)

BOXER




so that's the new family member (:
naughty baby
till date, it has bitten my
1. Guess heels
2. Samsung charger
3. countless soft toys
4. wire for my starlights
5. house wall
now you understand why i don't get to rest peacefully =X
but thankfully
today the two big brothers seem to be able to accept the baby better
so we took a risk and let three of them out in the hall
bro looked after, giving me and darling a short break to go out for a date
just went for dinner and roamed ikea and giant
had a wonderful 2hours chat over dinner
it's been a long time since we did that :D
quality time over quantity since we can't afford quantity now with his heavy school work

love love (:
tmr's probably gonna be spent at home with darling studyin
and maybe sightsee with some tourists in the afternoon (thanks to jiaolian again haha)
long rewarding day today
till then

Just A Thought..

"Because sometimes there is no easy way out.
You just have to grin and bear it.
Sometimes the only escape route is to go straight through the flames,
just brace yourself and bite your lip.
Sometimes you have to sever the ties clean off.
Because in every relationship there comes a point
when the damage is too much and no matter how good it once was,
the memories can’t sustain you."

saw this on cynthia's blog
found it so apt for how i am feeling now
rainy day, emo day
nah not really emo
just stirs some thoughts that i've been trying to push back for awhile
till i saw this paragraph that just got me thinking again

there are many types of relationships that people will go through
family ties, love, friendships, acquaintances..
i've been through all and if some good old friends rem,
i had a tough time letting go of a past love relationship
nah not going into that
cux i've let go of that (we're great friends now and i'm happy with that)
but what i realise is harder to let go than a love relationship
is a friendship
and that's what i am going to talk about

many friends come and go, and those who stay must have made an impact in your life
some good old friends remain like the way they were since i've knew them
not talking about physical appearances
but its what's inside
that has never changed
some changed, and you try to accept them for their changes
accept the new them
their changes may have brought hurt to you directly or indirectly
but you suck it in
telling yourself that being that friend
you've gotta accept

but..
when the damage is too much and no matter how good it once was,
the memories can’t sustain you.

indeed..
the memories still flash at times
but i've gotta protect myself too
maybe that's why
i've to helplessly watch this friendship go down the drain
with no remedies that i can think of
the pain of watching this friendship that was built over time
that has certainly braved through storms
go down the drain just like that
i am just reminded of how small we are
and how helpless we can be
and all we can do
is to
grin and bear
bite our lips and move on

just be glad our paths crossed before
and maybe you don't know it
i have once treasured this friendship so much
against all odds

Taking Things With A Pinch Of Salt
and you should too (:

never liked exams

okay fine who likes them right
but friends who know me well will know that exams are always my weakest link
i remember the times in tjc when mr fun has to walk me into the exam hall
and sit with me through my paper
constantly writing encouragements and slipping them under my feet
aww where else can u find such a nice teacher (:

Friday marks the start of my Sem3.1 final exams
have been mugging hard at Elias Macs/Whitesands Macs
coursework grades seem fine to me
not perfect but ohwell.. at least they are mostly Bs
i'm learning how to take things in my stride
sure there must still be expectations
but i refuse to stress myself out just because of them again (after Tj)

so yea.. life's been great if readers wanna know
dealing with some issues, but with the help of drkoh the great
everything will turn out fine
i'm really blessed with good people in my life
like mr fun and dr koh
awesome people (:

so while i am mugging like crazy
my two dogs get to sleep on my bed comfortably


watching them makes me envious i am serious

and who's so fortunate to be my study buddy this time?


none other than him (:

all the best to the people who are having exams
elias mall macs is recently packed with students from sec sch, jcs and polys
till then,
xoxo


an overdue prelude to my bday celebration in erm.. july

A Thought About Life

lying in my room studying for lodging

the whole day, i hear ambulance sirens passing my window
is today a gloomy day for the people out there

everytime i hear the sirens
i will wonder if there's anybody inside
will the person make it through?
morbidity... this day does feel morbid

deaths of friends' friends make me realise
its not the length of a life,
but the quality that matters
read the new paper sometime back
reporting about this ite girl who unfortunately lost her life in Tioman
all her friends described her as an angel
that's a quality life well lived

i'd rather live a short life and leave a good legacy for people to remember
than a long worthless one..

i am so infuriated with life now
my hotmail and blogger and twitter is down
i am losing my already short term memory

i feel like sleeping but i have not bathed (too lazy to)
I got an early lecture tomorrow morning
RAHHHHHHHHH I JUST FEEL LIKE WHINING MY WAY OUT!!!

Happy Belated Birthday Singapore!

it has to be belated because blogger was down still yesterday
so i can only post up pictures today!
spent quality time with darl this long weekend
i foresee its the last time (for a long time) we can go out and play like this
because its gonna be exam period for both of us real soon
:(

Day before National Day
went to shop alil at Bugis Village
it was crazily packed as usual
so i decided to stop squeezing with the crowd and do a pedicure instead
it was totally impromptu :p
(I didnt plan to do my nails!)


totally like the background of this pic-makes us both look happy (:


wanted to be patriotic and paint red but suddenly changed my mind

met up with my darling clique after that
they gave me and twin a belated birthday surprise
the birthday present was really pretty! (hand made)
but I haven got the photos yet
so will blog more abt it another time
but it was a good meet up
all 5 were present
and we had some heart to heart sharing
really treasure this bond we have (:
love ya girls!

National Day
drove over to Art's house to fetch that slowpoke couple
told them we were reaching in 1min
but they didnt come down on time
so we had to take pictures to kill time


shall just post 1 of the many (:

went to tampines to get our takeaway dinner
before heading off to Marina South to catch the fireworks( first time watching with a boyf!)
bought lucky and rascal's food from tampines as well
and me and janice were just amused by how gay our boyfs could get!



haha look at how happy they are (:

drove to marina south
there were already 10000 people waiting
but we totally didnt know if we were waiting at the right place
we just followed the crowd
luckily we managed to catch it in the end
but all four of us shared the same sentiments
the fireworks this year was just too short!
luckily i managed to catch the heart fireworks(think its the highlight??)
and me and darl managed to take one shot with the fireworks
art and janice tried waiting but the fireworks ended already
it was so boohoo-ly short


us waiting for the fireworks


didnt catch it at its best, but nevertheless, at least i caught it (:


credits to art for taking such a fabulous shot!
(still wondering why i placed my hand on his tummy!)


they tried waiting too, but the display was over :(

went to sing after fireworks cux we didnt want to go back so early
my darling cutely cant catch the beats of many songs
but its okay
i still love you! haha


couple 1


couple 2


art looks like a small boy in this picture!
(janice, your boyf's legs has muscles too lah!)

and for once
after so long
we took group shots
we've been going on double dates for so long but never took a group photo before!


yay!! (:

many things are better left unsaid
many things are better left un-remembered

so please sms or call me any time

stop saying that your mistake is worst of all

blogger is still not okay :(

anyway i was doing up my persuasive speech for public speaking tomorrow
topic: Abortion
basically i am against so i was researching to back my viewpoint
when i saw this video
its really lovely and the song is just so nice
sad i couldnt find the lyrics so you all gotta listen real hard!
watch the video!
its REALLY worth the watch!




to you:
it will not be a dead end
nothing is a dead end
there will always be hope as long as you reach out for help
please do not give up on yourself
i'll get help with you
i will walk through this with you
i will be there for you my dear friend
its not the end
