Am I Gonna Stop Blogging??

omg the last time i blogged was 3 months ago
just lost the motivation to blog about mundane everyday stuff
but then again
i am not ready to give up blogging altogether
so i shall attempt to blog some recent happenings

Gong Gong's Birthday

met up with my coussies to celebrate my grandfather's birthday
took many pictures that night but i shall just post up one
these are the younger cousins
watching them grow up is really ♥

Christmas Eve + New Year's Eve

Spent both eves at brewerkz
ya duh boring you may say
but i say it was great (:
maybe i couldnt catch full views of fireworks
or count down together with my darlings
but i definitely had my share of fun with the colleagues (:

Filming

Filmed for Clare's assignment
starred as some ke lian girl who's fiancee has cancer and lies to me to break up with me
haha
it was fun though tiring
i guess sometimes the people you work with makes the difference!

JB With Colleagues

Went for a day trip with some colleagues yesterday yay
didnt buy alot of things
did a massage, sang and of course, ATE A WHOLE LOT
but still i bought a decent steering wheel cover(i don't know what its called)
and a goregeous purse
no pictures of those buys though

that's mandy holding my all time fave marrybrown chicken!

all excited to start our trip!

this was outside a seafood restaurant that served decent food at a very low price!

aww i love this photo!

i can't pose looking like a rocker but i tried (:

great sisters!

who says colleagues can never be great friends? ♥

that's about it for this update after a long time
i will try to keep my blog alive before i certify it dead if unsuccessful
enjoying my last week of holidays before i start school again booo
but i shall try to enjoy school and put in more effort
so that i can enjoy in peace like i did this holiday!

alright signing off with a picture i took in jb
of this hat that i really like and i am regretting RIGHT NOW that i did not get it
:(

"When You Say Nothing At All"

It's amazing
How you can speak
Right to my heart
Without saying a word,
You can light up the dark
Try as I may
I could never explain
What I hear when
You don't say a thing

[CHORUS:]
The smile on your face
Lets me know
That you need me
There's a truth
In your eyes
Saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says
You'll catch me
Whenever I fall
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all

All day long
I can hear people
Talking out loud
But when you hold me near
You drown out the crowd
(The crowd)
Try as they may
They could never define
What's been said
Between your
Heart and mine

The smile on your face
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand
Let's me know
That you need me

The smile on your face
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand
Let's me know
That you need me

(You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all
You say it best
When you say
Nothing at all)

everything that this song says (:
i know that one day, the reflection that I have been seeing will change
because i have faith, not blind faith...
but faith in my shield and armour

One Last Cry

My shattered dreams and broken heart
Are mending on the shelf
I saw you holding hands
Standing close to someone else
Now I sit all alone
Wishing all my feelings was gone
I gave my best to you
Nothing for me to do
But have one last cry

One last cry
Before I leave it all behind
I gotta put you out of my mind this time
Stop living a lie
I guess I'm down to my last cry

Cry.....

I was here
You were there
Guess we never could agree
While the sun shines on you
I need some love to rain on me
Still I sit all alone
Wishing all my feelings was gone
Gotta get over you
Nothing for me to do
But have one last cry

One last cry
Before I leave it all behind
I gotta put you out of my mind
For the very last time
Stop living a lie

I know I gotta be strong
Cause round me life goes on and on
And on ....
And on ....

One last cry
Before I leave it all behind
I gotta put you out of my mind
For the very last time
Been living a lie

I guess I'm down,
I guess I'm down,
I guess I'm down...
I guess I'm down...
To my last cry...

It's What's Inside That Matters..

before i start on the pictures for this post
i will like to pen down some thoughts
yesterday, i saw a Caucasian couple
what caught my attention was their son
an asian small boy with only one ear
i learnt from my colleague that this couple has adopted this boy
seeing how this boy is happy, carefree
and bursting with innocence and a bright future infront of him
i couldn't help but imagine how would it be like if he wasn't adopted by this couple
i admire the selflessness and love this couple has
and i pray that the family will constantly be bounded by love

perhaps if we just take alittle time off our hectic life...

we will feel for the kids who are fighting so hard for survival.

alrights back to the updatings
i've been a busy bee
working like so many more days than what i initially planned to
but still
i managed to take time off for friends and morethanfriends
♥

i am now at coffeebean @ehub blogging
while my darling is studying
as mentioned on twitter
i really appreciate this personal space we give each other
without compromising on the time we spend together (:

before coffebean
we went to do what he loves best
(though people who know me will know its not exactly what i love to do)
haha sometimes its just about compromising huh
like when he walks bugis street or FEP with me
anyway.. we went to pasir ris park for an after lunch stroll

at pasir ris beach- it was pleasantly breezy

the curious boy

nature is what he loves

♥

introducing to you readers
a new friend i've got that i have never mentioned on this blog before
my colleague+a very good friend- ah loon
a week ago
i went to pulau ubin with malaysianboy loon
he's never been there
so we went there for a seafood spread
wooo boy was it lovely (:

my new friend (:

and then i also went for my two besties's 21st
the later one was qiqi's @ her house

the three of us (:

the full clique!- i love her cake!

right before qiqi was grace's bday
we surprised her at her place
hehe
bought her a bday present
and i got so tempted i bought one for myself as well :p

here's the shirt

the sane birthday girl

who went wild!

and the clique again ♥

that's all for updates
planning a short trip to malaysia
hope it will work out well! :D

xoxo

Love Is Not A Game...

finally finally
no more projects!!
i've officially completed all my projects in TP yayness!
didnt sleep the whole night
but still went to meet spencer to celebrate the liberation
eyes were all swollen and face was pale so pictures all not nice :(

look at the horribly swollen eyes

went to sing at bedok cc
finally satisfied my craving for k session
but was so tired almost fell aslp towards the end

microphone quality not bad for $6

sang many many songs (:

*ignore the tired face* yay my good buddy spencer :D

oh and i found a great place for me to chill
not gonna share where cux it shall be my secret hideout!

drank stella

wish they had cocktails.. don't like beers :(

(:

before i go
wanna share this song i heard at this secret hideout
its not a new song
but the lyrics just relates so aptly

Sometimes When We Touch
You ask me if I love you
And i choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning to see the real you

CHORUS
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you 'till I die
'Till we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you 'till the fear in me subsides

Romance and all its strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter
Sill trapped within my youth (Chorus)

At times, I'd like to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times, I'd like to break through
And hold you endlessly

At times, I understand you
And I know how hard you've tried
I've watched while love commands you
And I've watched love pass by
At times, I think we're drifters
Still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again.. (Chorus)

♥ Love is not a game. It never was, and it should never be..♥

just a random thought
gonna go get some sleep now
its been more than 24hours since i really slept!
take care people and i'd be back to update on what i plan to do these 5 mths really soon!

byebye with tired ♥

2010-02-07T15:09:00.002+08:00

its sad when people you know become people you knew
and when you can walk right past someone that at one point of your life...
was a big part of your life
and how you used to be able to talk to them for hours about the little nothings in life...
and now you can barely look at them...

2010-01-29T12:42:00.030+08:00

It Hurts to Say...Goodbye

I can see the pain living in your eyes
And I know how hard you try
You deserve to have much more
I can feel your heart and I sympathize
And I'll never criticize
All you've ever meant to my life

I don't want to let you down
I don't want to lead you on
i don't want to hold you back
From where you might belong

You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say but goodbye

You deserve the chance at the kind of love
I'm not sure i'm worthy of
Losing you is painful to me

I don't want to let you down
I don't want to lead you on
i don't want to hold you back
From where you might belong

You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say but goodbye

You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to try
Though it's gonna hurt us both
There's no other way than to say goodbye

2010-01-07T16:35:00.016+08:00

you make me lose my mind i wonder why..

its been awhile since i've last blogged
and within this time span
many things have happened
be it the festive season
or the happy and unhappy stuff that came and go and came again
they've all left deep impressions within me

wont go into the details
shall let some recent pictures do the updating
on one of the sundays
had a *photoshoot* with janice at this gorgeous hotel
had a !fun! time, with sam as the calefare photographer for awhile (:

taken by calefare photographer

mr sam..

then janice came after work to claim half her room
and we had a great second round of fun
winks at janice- i can still remember the sensation *shudders*

best buddy at internship
seriously if we didn't stand by each other
we'd prob not make it through the 5months!

then on one of my off days
spent time with my darling
who's finally back from his homeland (:
went picnic-ing (obviously his idea)
had a great time talking heart-to-heart
♥hugs♥

the food we prepared for the picnic

ok i know it looks gross, but still, i'm proud to say i prepared ALL of them

♥♥

spent alot of time enjoying the tranquility of a quiet park

eating the fruit of my labour

he is ♥

best match ever

new year's resolutions...
i havent thought of them yet
i always make them
don't always keep them
but still, cant do without them..
so i'll find some time soon to quieten myself down for some serious reflecting
because ohmygosh
i am 21 this year!

ohoh and another update!
i was sent into A&E yesterday
fainted at work and they called an ambulance to send me in
it was the worst experience ever
but still, colleagues made me feel the ♥
especially some that i thought hated me to the core hmmm..
but anyways,
i am fine already..
thanks to those who cared and were so worried
i will take good care of my body in future i promise.

hope everyone had a good christmas/new year
i'll be back for more updates soon
till then
do take care!

with ♥

2009-12-04T03:07:00.002+08:00

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

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

2009-09-10T03:08:00.002+08:00

Touched Me Deep Within

i was about to go and sleep
when i chanced upon this video
its just so lovely that i have to blog before i sleep
please watch it everybody
i am so touched by it

if only the world was just filled with such innocent love
and nothing else
how nice it'd be
but sadly, it isn't

2009-09-06T21:03:00.008+08:00

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!!

2009-09-05T01:12:00.009+08:00

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

enjoy the weekends :D

redefine what is your definition of love
before deciding whether you really love dogs
zzz in a very indignant mood now

2009-08-27T03:22:00.002+08:00

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

2009-08-20T00:20:00.004+08:00

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

2009-08-18T16:06:00.002+08:00

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..

2009-08-13T22:42:00.000+08:00

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 so tired after playing just a few games of table tennis
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!!!

2009-08-11T01:18:00.014+08:00

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

2009-08-06T23:22:00.002+08:00

if you don't answer all calls and sms-es
we cannot help you
if you don't seek help
it will be more disastrous in the end

i can accompany you to a doc that wont know your parents
we can go to one that's far from your place

i am sure you will see this
so please sms or call me any time
i will definitely pick up
i've been holding on to my phone and i wont off it to silent mode when i am sleeping
get back up on your feet
the world wont stop because you're down

stop saying that your mistake is worst of all
i am sure everyone makes mistakes
and yours in nothing compared to alot others

2009-08-06T00:40:00.016+08:00

2009-08-05T15:29:00.001+08:00

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!

2009-08-04T00:28:00.010+08:00

What's Wrong With Blogger!?!

so not only my blogger has problems
i've been reading ppl's blogs
and alot of them are complaining that they cannot upload pictures
i couldnt too for the past few days
guess today's my day (:

a few updates:

went Streams of Praise with darling on sat
i've been to this praise and worship event for about four years i think
at the same place, with different people
this time, its with darling
clement commented that going for these kinda stuff with your other half is always fulfilling
and he was right
to have darling beside me worshipping together made everything feel more right than ever
(:

its three of us on this journey, me you and Him (:

many couples like doing this, but me and ben took about 15min to get it to look alil like a heart!

went to eeling's 21st bday party after that
it started at 6 i think
but we reached at like 11pm cux of SOP
but nevertheless, we still had a great time
especially when janice and art came to join us

i always think he look gay-ishly cute taking such photos :p

that night we were mad
like cux janice and art came out so late
she insisted that she would kill me if we went home straight after the party
so we decided to go pool

couldnt get nice pictures as usual :(

i love this blouse (:

looking professional? :p

last update
POL-ITE games came to an end on friday
we got champion which is really great(:
i honestly think that everybody played a part
including the seniors who came to support
that closes the chapter of poly table tennis for me
it has taught me lessons i guess

bottle of 100plus grace gave me on the last day of the match

i promise i will never forget these symbols of the clique ever (:

my BEST friend always (:

tp girls- champs!

To Grace:

dear girl, you've really been a great friend. You are really God-sent, and i am so thankful
beyond words for a friend like you. the bottle you gave me sort of brought me back to the
before poly (aka JC) times, and snapped me back to the NOW where i am graduating soon.
the 1yr (JC) plus 3yrs (POLY) was really not an easy and smooth road for me, but it was
because i had you and the rest, that i managed to tide through and now i am finally
graduating! (: looking back at the transition between jc and poly just makes me shudder,
but it was then that i saw the true test of friendship! (: love ya girl (applies to clique too)
rest assure i will also be there for you always! thanks for being my best friend.

Love,
Sandy Loh (:

2009-08-01T02:51:00.000+08:00

you're not my friend

anymore...

2009-07-31T01:14:00.001+08:00

i feel that everyone put in their best
even those who lost
they really did their bests!
those perspiration weren't fake yea!!
good job all of us (: (:

hope we will win tmr and get champion!! :D

2009-07-30T10:48:00.009+08:00

today's nyp (grace's sch)

when are we five really finally going to meet huh???

oh and last sat I went to this hillsongs concert
thanks to tseyun(who treated me to it!), and jiayi(for not gg so i could have the tix)
I had my qualms about it at first cux I din even know much about hillsongs and their songs lol
but it turned out so well i couldn wish i was anywhere else!
Pastor Judah Smith came to preach and it was one of the most interesting message I've heard
and hillsongs was just a blast!
went with tseyun, but ended up sitting with lobbie and jing2

real funny

jing2, lobbie (both never change at all since I first knew you guys!)

me kissing the nerd

the ex nerd kissing the nerd

yay the three of us

and again

and again

I am glad i have friends from everywhere
and most of them are like true friends
saw joanna's blog on accrediting her friends
so i decided to do so too since i am so bored waiting for class
and so if i suddenly die, these people know i do appreciate them (:

The Clique
People say true friends accept you for who you are. You girls are THE BEST!
Even when i was so depressed then, you all never forsaked me! I can vividly remember
how i used to dao you all, especially qi and grace in TJC oops! and chyr , you know all the
ugly sides but u held on as my friend. Twin, you are always the person i feel i can look to
if i really need some solid advices (maybe you never knew). you girls stayed on
with me. I love the fact that we can not meet for so long, but still get to sit down and talk
like there's no tomorrow. Let's meet up soon! I'm sure everyone has so much to share again!

JaniceT
you are truly a bad friend! haha nah kidding.. you've been my life buoy in poly man!
the breaks will never have been so fun without you! and sat nights as well! oh and the
birthday surprise that i must totally give you credit for! hahaha. some say you cant find true
friends in poly, but we proved otherwise! we will be gg to aust tog, and we must start
anew like we said okay! (: you better learn to do the washing and all now, or i'll totally
fall out with you!!!!!! heh

Son
Never will I miss you out when i have such cheesy moments lah! haha.. You're the life machine
man.. ok at least last time. Could tell you 10000 problems and you could absorb them all,
giving me your sincere advices and all. Though now we aren't as close as before i dont know
why, I still do treasure you alot, and cant wait to hang out with you again, and bombard you
with another 10000 problems! haha.. Thanks for always being there for me, and trusting
me when all the others just have so much to say. You'll always be my friend, so please let us
hang out tog sooN!

Lobbie
haha you made it! you made it to becoming one of my top friends! haha! you ah... are
truly the youngest good friend i have man. Cant imagine that the 5 years age difference
is not doing any harm to our friendship! haha..you are a friend that i know i can always count
on, and thats really important to me. you know when i ask myself, who can i rely on if one day
i lose all my other friends. the answer is you and the few above. cux i know like them, you will
trust me above all, and never forsake me! aww.. tell me i am not wrong k!! haha.. meet up
again for hopefully steamboat man! thanks for being my youngest good friend!

Ben
saving the best for the last! haha.. people say that your husband, or boyfriend, in this case,
should be the one you trust most. haha.. indeed that's how our relationship has always been.
we work on the word trust and trust alone. Ben knows everything that is going on, has happened,
but never despised me or anything. He've seen my ugliest side, and all the fart wars we have
just affirms how strong our relationship is going. Thanks for being the person I can trust
most, and thanks for trusting me with no qualms, especially when it comes to online rumours
and hacked email account(going on to that later). You're my best friend (sorry grace someone
has to share your title) and my soulmate. Love ya!

ok thats all for the awwwwness
if i missed out anyone
and you feel you are important to me
as much as these few people are
then tell me k!
cux i am suffering from short term amnesia now lol

oh and yea the hacked email account.
I managed to retrieve the account totally after i changed the password
though i suspect its one of my friends who hacked (please dont let me find out who you are)
cuz i think at least 10 friends know my password zzz
a friend of mine is trying to help me now to find out
but ahh i cant really be bothered
dumb of me to trust so many with the password
so yea now all the emails and msn i send out is rightfully from me again!
and all the nude photos(esp those with damn good figures lol) or vulgarities are totally not me!!!
so take note!

and to all the hate-rs who keep tagging rubbish on my blog
i will delete them each time you do
call me a loser, but you can try hating someone else instead
cux i cant be bothered to entertain you.
and those who tag me because of online rumors,
you've got the wrong person people.

super long post to suffice the few days of no blogging due to techincal problems with my blogger
shall get ready for class and match later
take care people!

Cherish Before It's Too Late

this post is gonna be quite unorganised and messy
just gonna spurt out some thoughts

A distant friend of mine just lost his mom
Quite hypocritical to say friend but yea you get the idea
I remember when I heard about it
I immediately rushed to mom's room to check on her
so yea we should really slow down our pace to cherish every single person that's important to us

oh and if you read my twitter
i said something like
"some people just wanna live in their two faced world forever,
and people like me have to suffer being a pawn in both worlds.
BUT NOT FOR LONG"
not for long indeed
just one more day tmr
and after that
mr two face can continue living in his two faced world
and our roads wont cross
but i do worry alil about him
how is life going to treat him
when all realise his fakes

oh and right
i found this quote from kobe bryant rather brillant
"When you feel like you can't run anymore,
the only person to motivate you is you yourself.
At this point of time, you gotta push yourself real hard"
sorta true actually
you can find 10000 people to tell you to not give up and all
but it only takes you yourself to choose to give up and all other encouragements will go down the drain
on the other hand, 10000 people can tell you to give up
but if you hold on and persist
nothing they say can make you fall
i always felt that sports ppl were the best inspirationalist (:

on a side note
when i told janice about this quote on msn
she didnt really respond
so i asked her
"do you even know who is kobe bryant??"
she replied
"some philosophist?"
=_=

please let tmr be a good day
i wanna have a happy weekend (: (:

A Comment That Made Me Feel Good (:

still up editing gaming project
have been so stressed up with projects this whole sem
we wanna do our best
after all its the last stride

really very tired
guess alot of ppl esp janice and wk
and all the other editors of their own projects
can identify with me
like it is not physically tired anymore
its the mental load

but its reli the encouragements from grp mates
and their expectations of me that pushes me on
just got one praise from a grp mate and it jus makes me feel tt the hardwork and effort
is worth it
whatever the marks, i know that we have put in our bests this time round

A Family of Sick..

went to see a doc
and he immediately said that i shd have taken the swab test (dunno if its called this)
its the test for h1n1
he said i should have taken that time when i came back with fever and all aft cruise
then he went on to say hw many ppl i could have passed to if i reli had
so i took the test
and the results will be out in two days

as i said
the whole family is down with the flu
so we all went to the polyclinic
which has the test kit
and..
all of us had same symptoms same medicines

i know its kinda stupid
but we had to take pics
how often do we wear masks right??
haha

i found it so hard breathing from this thing

darling insisted that he didnt want to take pic in public, so we had to do it at home

the other couple got it as well

the sick people zzz

get well soon sick pple (:
cruise pictures up soon since pics can be put up alr (:

2009-06-29T14:42:00.003+08:00

i realised i was having a bad flu
like my nose was dripping without me feeling anythin
and i started to feel aches like in my bones
told my mom and she told me like almost everybody was sick at home
so we are all gg to the doc tog

finally finished editing mice

like edited twice or thrice
but still found like 17 problems with it
but it is done

its like a family outing =.=

Michael Jackson...

just heard the news about michael jackson's death
guess many many people are saddened by it
i am not a big fan of his
but ive heard his songs, seen his mtvs, bought his cd once i think
it is indeed a pity that a talented man like him never managed to acclaim back his title

i went on the internet to search about him
and i read that the main cause of his downfall was the charges pressed against him for pedophile
however, after the long long time of financial problems and downfalls and accusations etc
he was planning for a comeback in London this year
but sadly this comeback will never come true

i guess life is sometimes just so unforgiving
when you finally get your courage to stand back up again
you realise that it is all too late
and guess what
when i was readin articles online
so many of them still harped on his pedophiliac actions
he was, and still is an icon in the music industry
but one that has blemishes that people refuse to remove

this is just my perception
probably, hopefully,
people will remember michael jackson as the king of pop
just that
forget his blemishes, or at least, let them be overridden by the amount of entertainment he has brought to people

in all case
rest in peace, mr michael jackson

2009-06-25T23:35:00.001+08:00

i'm tired...
so so tired

It's All In The Mind

watching the aviva open on channel 5 now
singles men
secretly wish that the china man will win
his mental is so strong i feel
there were a few calls that were against him
and in the last match he was behind his opponent by quite alot
but he continued to fight and leveled the score before starting to take the lead
oh and yay he just won! (:

i guess in life there will be times when we fall behind by so much
and people around us will just be shaking their heads
speculating that it will never be possible to stand up again
but it is up to our will power to turn the tables around
to prove them wrong and prove our worth
we may be lagging behind
but as long as we dont give up
like Bao (the china player lol)
we're not necessrily the losers yet (:

2009-06-12T00:07:00.003+08:00

i wonder when did i start evading eye contacts
feeling afraid to meet people that i was once close to...

2009-06-11T18:12:00.003+08:00

The Climb
by Miley Cyrus

I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming but
there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith

watched hannah montana as anyone can guess
found the show not bad
the cowboy makes me ooolala
haha
most of the songs sounded just like the usual chic song
but this song is one that i felt was very motivating
indeed, there will always be another mountain
we will never have enough of obstacles
so the most important thing to do is to
keep the faith
where's mine

When You Feel That Singapore Has Nothing Fun To Do...

yest i was supposed to go ktv with janice
but last min changes were made
instead of going to botak jones
we settled for cartel since i remembered that some of the items will be on half price at 930pm
i am telling everybody
the deal is damn good!
its like in the past the half price only goes to cakes
but now
its for cakes and snackers and drinks
oh my gosh its damn worth it!

take a look at this pic

this large amount of food only cost us $22
when usually it will have been 40plus
the basket of 6pieces chicken wings.. supposed to be 5plus
but it was only 2plus!
this is what i personally thought was damn worth it
bcuz u cannot even get this price in a coffeeshop!
isnt it damn worth it!?

so after this really worth it dinner
we tried to find a ktv that opened till late but to no avail
thus we decided to play pool
(:
it was fun though it was a desert inside there zzz

art

ben

basically those were the two who were seriously playing
two of us girls were more into taking pictures
and when we decided to play
we were so lousy we started laughing at ourselves

the place was freaking warm we had to have drinks

taken at katong shopping centre in attempt to find ktv

(:

after pool we drove around
seriously just drive around thinking of what we could do
in the end we went to changi to sightsee trannies
and omg we saw two trannies being booked
first time ever
shocking indeed!

and since singapore has nothing to do
I AM GOING ON A CRUISE!
yay i am so happy bcuz i dun remember ever going on one!
and since i've studied travel transport
i will know everything about the cruise!
whee i am excited!

oh and anyway
today met dangshi for a catch up session
we went to watch angels and demons
and something this guy said in the show made me think about what me and janice were talking about yest
" religion has flaws because man has flaws. not God"
think about it (:

yep thats all for now!
(:

bye!

400th Post..

this is my 400th post
i was thinkin hard about what was special for me to post as no. 400
then i came across this

this video brought tears to my eyes
indeed we can do anything as long as we make up our minds
difficulties and problems that stand before each one of us
we have a choice to whether we overcome them or not
after all
what's most important
is really not the outcome
but the fact that
we have put in our best

i looked back at the posts that i have posted
i saw the happiest moments of my life
and the down-est ever
i saw a striking resemblance in how i faced every single downs in my life
and i know i have to change that

i salute this father and son
they have inspired many including me
please spare some time to watch this video
and i believe you will be inspired by this 400th post of mine

Holding on to the Thin Strand of HOPE
the first time i saw this video
was on somebody's blog i dont remember whose
but i know that it was so impactful then
because i was going thru rough times in jc

after 2yrs thereabout
i see this video again
this time on another friend's blog
and once again, it impacted me

indeed life is full of temptations
sometimes life's so harsh that it makes us wanna give up
but as long as we hold on to that thin strand of hope
just the thin strand
even if we are close to giving up
as long as we turn back
the man in white is still there to pull us up
conquer all the evil and clothe us in white again
it's never too late

it reli is never too late..
isnt't it?

ps: hope this video will impact some readers out there just like it has impacted me twice (:
