i love christmas. it gives me the whole.........christmassy feel. for lack of a better word.
i love presents, and the atmosphere at church. i think its splendid, the way churches decorate and do up every corner. i sing along to the christmas carols with alot of enthusiasm, because it gives me a very good feeling, as though i do it every single week or something.

i caught I Am Legend with Matthew and Xuan right after the clock struck twelve. the show sucked by the way. i was a bit scared after the show, as i was heading home at 3am, it was so quiet and lonely downstairs. I was also feeling a tad jittery, nerves i guess.

met Tong, Gerald and Simon on Christmas day for dinner, at PS Cafe along Dempsey. the place was pretty hard to find though. apparently spaghetti was horrible, and fries were mediocre. but it was still good fun. oh well.
haven't seen them for so long..Simon and Gerald have not changed at all, but Tong's hair........oh well. It's Tong, so what can i say.

Went for a little swim on Sat in school, the temp of the water was JUST RIGHT!
love the feel of water on my skin, and the fact that i don't perspire.
ok i mean i do, but it just gets washed off....squash gives me a different kind of feeling.
the way you keep rallying and running rallying and running...different man different.

met sean at clarke quay for dinner and drinks! or should i say, a light snack. well, not so light.
Hooters is one hell of a place seriously, but the hoegarden was DAMN GOOD. i love the taste of it! it doesn't have an aftertaste, thank goodness.
we've been like, best friends for 9 years. 9 bloody long years.

sean, we've really REALLY come a long way. :)
thank you.

met astley on sunday too, went for a quick lunch with him weijiang yingying and kp.

so the last day of 2007 came and gone, quicker than anything else. i CLEARLY remember the previous year's New Year's Eve, was watching fireworks with Weiren Simon and Gerald.
its still so vivid in my mind.. how can a year pass just like that..

so back to yesterday, Simon brought me to his friend's party in Dover Parkview.
FYI, its a lesbian party. EVERYONE was VERY SPORTING!
there was a bit of flashing, just ONE "stripper", a bit of french kissing, and a WHOLE LOT OF DANCING. me included.
i'll just leave it at that.
Simon and I then headed down to Clarke Quay to meet Gerald and Marcus. We thought there was gonna be some...spectacular event at the river, since everyone had their eyes trained on it.
We just heard fireworks in e distance, no countdown at all. Disappointing.
but oh well, we went there to chill, so chill we did.

We stole a table at Brewerkz. well, kind of. Drank the raspberry ale thingy, which wasn't bad at all! Played the stupid five-ten game too. Tong made his EXPENSIVE way down, via cab. 30 bucks. crazy jam. cost him so much. So off we walked. All the way to Bugis, cos Gerald couldn't get a parking in Clarke Quay. Drove down to the 24-hr Coffee Club, and obviously we sat at the smoking area. YA. it was damn funny la, all the crude jokes and witty comments.

So glad I managed to meet many of my frens during the holiday period. Adelyn and Hongyue at Greenwood Ave for a girls night out together with superb pizza the other week. Xuan at church christmas gathering. Sean at Hooters. Gerald Simon Tong during Christmas, together with Marcus during New Year..great way to cap off 2007. really happy.

anyway, i just realised there were more skeletons in my closet than i know of, or rather I wish i didn't remember them. we all have secrets. we all have more secrets than we actually know or remember, because there are always the secrets that we forget because they are too painful for us to remember..

Meredith (Voiceover) : Secrets can't hide in science. Medicine has a way of exposing lies. Within the walls of the hospital, the truth is stripped bare. How we keep our secrets outside the hospital – well, that’s a little different. One thing is certain, whatever it is we're trying to hide; we're never ready for that moment when the truth gets naked. That's the problem with secrets – like misery, they love company. They pile up and up until they take over everything, until you don't have room for anything else, until you're so full of secrets you feel like you're going to burst.


Thank you everyone, for giving me such a brilliant year.
Pictures will be up soon!

Sms of the day:

Tong - "Motherfuckin jam motherfuckin exp"

LOL. 4 words which best describe how we all feel about the hike in taxi fares. fucking exp.


this is my heart bleeding before you, this is me down on my knees..

maybe its just me n my paranoia acting up again.
but the stupid officer just wont call me. HASNT CALLED ME for like 4 weeks. almost a month

WEIRD RITE. nvm. anyway, i realised i haven't been to east coast for so long that the entire place looks totally new to me... im so cut off from the east..

sigh. thanks for comforting me anyway.

11 Most Influential Men of 2007
Mark Zuckerberg; © Kimberly White/Corbis
Mark Zuckerberg

For a guy with prestigious pedigree (Phillips Academy, Harvard University), a knack for creating killer apps, and a reported street value of $15 billion, Mark Zuckerberg isn't out for a quick buck. Maybe that's why facebook.com, his baby, has nearly half the country hooked and the Palo Alto company swimming in $100 million projected revenue for the year. Say what? You don't have a Facebook page? Sorry, can't talk to you. Too busy super poking and throwing sheep at friends I haven't talked to in years.

wasn't that paragraph really hilarious?!

yea, the guy looked like someone who invented facebook, maybe his father had a hand in the World Wide Web or something, but i mean, he's the FACEBOOK GUY!

he wears slippers to boot! such a down-to-earth looking person honestly.

come on, who hasn't thrown a sheep or something along those lines?!

love facebook y'all!

i also like marc jacobs, i don't know why...

i just have a thing for geeky specky types.

and maybe grey-haired charismatic reporters..since i also think Anderson Cooper's just oh-so-BRILLIANT. :)

fate, stop playing me around like a puppet on your long dangling strings..

deja vu. honestly deja vu.

i never knew i could feel this way.
like, i want to be happy for you, but i cant seem to be.
i wish i didn't feel like that, because its selfish, and the last thing i would wanna be is selfish.

i was reminiscing about the good old sec sch days. what triggered this was when i grew bored, and decided to flip through my prom photos.

and i realised one thing, i have not done anything to my hair in my 21 years!
besides the one-time-styling(which was disastrous by the way), i just kept trimming it over the years and then just kept it long when i felt like it... til i grew tired of tying up my messy hair and decided to snip it all off for a tomboyish hairstyle.

been there, done that. my locks were rather priceless to me in poly yr 1, since it was awfully long and brownish-black. (i used to swim, didn't dye my hair even once!)
short long short long short long... an endless cycle.

never dyed, never permed, never rebonded, and yet my hair's disgustingly dry and a tad frizzy.
i wonder why..
i actually mentioned going for soft rebonding, but my bf retorted, 'huh do for what'
LOL. interesting answer. so..screw that idea lor.
au naturale is the best.

headed for a 1 day JB tour today. visited the desaru fruit farm, some store selling local products, a chocolate factory, an ostrich farm, and saw fireflies during a boat ride at night.
pretty much worth the 60 bucks! the travelling killed me in all honesty..was dead beat by the time we reached our sunny little island.
did you know that an ostrich's neck feels like a carpet? i love the feeling! i was stroking an ostrich for like 10 mins. and it didn't twitch at all. of course, it towered over me but it didn't even attempt to peck at my head with its toothless flat beak. which i am quite thankful for. i would have freaked out if it did that!

i am going for a guitar performance in school, since i bumped into a fren on sat and he gave me a spare ticket! how lucky! honestly, i didn't know there was a performance...hahaha.
hopefully nothing crops up, and i'll be able to treat myself to a classical performance.
haven't attended anything like this since NUS's piano ensemble, and then Dance Reflections. both with SEAN ANG SHI RONG, who is an $&%(@$()% because he is busy training like every other day! stop being so enthusiastic! jk pal. :)

stephen received my letter, and i'm glad he liked the friendship band i made for him! i didn't forget about it, stephen! :) skype soon?

bought tons of files to arrange all my random documents and worksheets.
have to remind myself to pack my room, wardrobe's all cleared out already!
need to hang some stuff on the wall, do some spring cleaning, change the sheets, maybe some light reading.. the list goes on... how do ppl remember these stuff!
note to self: buy one of those boards where you can tack reminders on.

Honey, my rabbit, has recovered from its sore hock already. thank goodness. worried sick.

Now who'd of ever thought that
We'd both be here tonight
And the world looks so much brighter
With you by my side..

you know what's the greatest thing in the whole damn world?

knowing that your bf trusts you, that he trusts you so much he doesn't claw all over you for details about where i am, and who i am out with.
my bf has NEVER done that, so to all the skeptics out there thinking that its amazing that we have actually lasted this long, i think you guys should start talking about some other useless stuff instead of asking all this crap.
and no, we do not text or call each other every other hour/everyday.

anyway, i know weird obsessive girls read my blog, and this goes out to you.
GIVE UR BF SOME DAMN SPACE LA. YOU WANT TO SUFFOCATE HIM ISSIT.
haiyo, so many cases already. fren's bf or gf managing their email accounts, restricting him from this and that.. is this what your definition of a blissful relationship is? would you like him to stick his nose in every business of yours?!
if yes, then you're quite screwed.
and people shouldn't make promises they cant keep. I, for one, know all too well (broken and had a promise broken, both ways)

just remember: whatever doubts you have about your bf/gf, he/she is entitled to have doubts about you too. everything works both ways. just keep all ur insecurity in check please!

i am still particularly miffed that the officer and my LO AND my ex-colleagues have not even contacted me yet. how inefficient can the school get?! i mean, SERIOUSLY!

anyway, i am appalled that a supposed close fren told me to like sae something which might cause a rift between my bf and i. he thinks its ok, but no it isn't. and christians are not superstitious people.

i was at jurong point the other day, and i came across a little pigeon huddled on one of the steps leading to the mrt station from the basement POSB machines. i was pretty curious, i mean, the pigeon wasnt flinching when the crowd just went past it left,right and centre. i peered closely and i saw it had swells above both eyes, and one swell had burst, leaving a gaping crater there. one of its legs were hidden under its feathers, so i initially thought it had lost a leg.
it was a bit featherless in some areas, and it looked very very sick.
i then sat down beside it, making sure that people will not accidentally kick it in their haste. i felt very very sad when i looked at it. an uncle with boils actually told me to stay away from the pigeon because it was 'sick'.

i know it just sounds crazy la, but i sat there for an hour plus, hoping that the pigeon didn't feel alone.
many ppl walked by and the ugly side of singaporeans really came out la, so many people were gawking and pointing at it. they speak in hushed voices, and a couple even took a photo of the pigeon. singaporeans do the same for handicapped people, just that they leave the pointin out for fear of hurting the person's feelings. really sad. one couple even took a photo of its back, and went "eeee" when they saw its eyes and the swells. i really felt helpless for the pigeon.

nvm. thats about all. summed up my pretty much exciting week. :)
