just to see you smile

omg ive watched the prince & me like 3 times. but every time i watch it, i like it even more! : ) such a fairy tale far frm reality, and yet so amazing. esp the chemistry btwn the lovers. awwww... its so gd that, right after we watched it (when the credits were showing), cherie wanted to watch to rewind and catch it frm the start again. lol =p chick flicks make u feel soo gd.

love will find a way...

i watched the maid finally. haha. it was pretty gd. not as scary as shutter, but definitely scary enough for me to watch most parts of the movie through the gaps of my hands, or watch joshua watching the movie. but hey, i watched the show. mikey u better get that 15 bucks frm the atm soon. and you beter be reading this! : )

met up wit the SA1 gang after the movie and got to catch up a lil wit sarah : ) ended up wit us getting jordi labanda journals!! : ) i finally have a medium to pen my thoughts in, n sarah her book to do her prelim papers in lol. how nice.

argh. i rly rly dont understand guys. i GREW UP with guys, and yet i can nv seem to capture the same picture in which they view the world. i find myself asking 'wheres the logic in this?!' in how they think, respond, and deal with issues. their actions sometimes just seem way out of my comprehension. yea, God made boys and girls truly different. but theres gotta b a line of understanding somewhere right? afterall, we're generically human beings.

grr. o well. guys prolly think the same way about girls sometimes. ah whatever.

somewhere out there...

just the girl

i like today TOO! : )

and i know this is one night where i'll tuck myself into bed by myself, and slp like a baby straight into tmr noon. im as sleepy as any sleepy pig can get. *yawn*

im starting to like pool a LOT!! didnt use to like it last time cuz my balls wld go anywhere but into the sockets. wit SOME skill & SOME dexterity they're less off-course now, albeit still off-course haha. tho i reckon the girls' game took more than twice the time of the guys' game. ah but practice makes perfect : ) i wanna play more pool!!

so after an entire morning/afternoon indulging in guy-activities.. pool & daytona-ing, we dedicated the rest of the evening to girl-activities. SHOPPING!!! : ) wit seok & cherie. we tried on so many things. or at least i did haha. got quite a few nice tops today! : ) the almost-empty orchard road made it all the more pleasurable. no crowds, no long queues (ok there were some), but no noise! awesome. omg there was a GORGEOUS miniskirt at forever 21 that left me drooling after i tried it on, until the price tag flashed past my eyes, and i started sulking. and then there was the spagetti strap top that left cherie n i in utter dismay because their smallest size was medium and that was too huge. *SIGH* ahh well gift of contentment! i had a great time. and that's all that matters. : )

thnx guys for a wonderful day out! : ) love ya all

I'm always stuck with these emotions
And the more I try to feel the less I'm whole

my folks have officially evacuated the house to an alien country jakarta today. thus my sister and i have been upgraded to the women of the house. woa woa woa : ) we'll see how things turn out at the end of the business trip haha.

ok im beginning to see my eyelids. not gd. time for beauty sleep 101. peace out : )

say goodnight

i like today : )

i experienced the slow paced, the tranquil, God's peace.. a gd break frm the life that circumstance has forced us to live in.

dinner was gd. the steak was soo finger lickin' gd i found myself wishing for a larger appetite lol. took a walk down singapore river with the kids; a walk down memory lane.. it brought a state of nostalgia, but the sound of the river and night sky always did have a soothing effect on me, and it was juz peaceful to stand by the river watching the hustle-n-bustle of nightlife at the quay : ) i really love that place. a place for slow walks, night breeze, and release.

Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky


on the flip side.. the whole time i was there, i was on the phone, and when i finally looked around me.. there were couples making out left right center, and then there was me, on the phone, laughing and talking.. major OOPS IM SORRY.

had a lil quiet feet-waddling-in-the-pool time wit my fam after tt when we revisted the pool of condo that was home for 5 years, currently rented out to a cool british dude whos a sports commentator for espn, so that's cool wit us : ) had some time to reflect and think.. a lil star gazing.. wishing upon a star.., and juz enjoying the cool night air. slow. sort of like a small paradisiacal quiescent moment, with me and myself. just what the doctor ordered : )

A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you

i like today : )

while you loved me

thnx gabriel for helping me add on the archives link : ) pretty cool i havent been reading my past entries till that was up. and i think i have rly changed since i started the blog. in a positive or negative way.. that i havent decided. prolly both. lol.

been rather successful at retail therapy recently. i swear, it works magic. and then we find ourselves wishing we were richer, or wishing we had rich boyfriends, or wanting to marry rich & hot men in the future. haha. but God granted us the gift of contentment. and so it will be. a contented man (or girl) is a happy man (or girl). : )

ahh. murphy's law proved itself present in church today. everything that cld go wrong, went wrong. sigh. o well, if at first u dont succeed, try try again! : )

ohohoh ive been playing tontie recently hehehe. which was recommended by kenneth. hitting tonties popping out of holes (that show rather clear geographical strata) with pikopiko hammers is a great way of providing home entertainment as long as a great laugh. haha. of course, tower defense has been rather fun too, but if i were to choose.. i'd still choose the cutesy lighthearted game to the intense monster-peppered game. a lil frm both worlds will do just fine : )

going out for dinner at black angus now : ) weee. havent been there in a while. a time to binge! yayay. gonna play pool tmr.. after a BILLION years omg. fun stuff. : )

momento mori

It just took some time to understand
You gave me words I just can't say
So if nothing else
I'll hold on while you drift away

i rly need to correct my sleeping pattern. or maybe it's fine, just tt my body clock disallows "sleeping in" when i desperately need it. grr. i woke at 9 today after sleeping at.. god knows what time ytd night : (

*yawn* im soo sleepy now..

something rly interesting happened on the bus today : ) the memory of it makes me smile n my heart skip a beat. haha. fun stuff. catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, save it for a rainy day.. . heres a beautiful star that fell into my book of memories that wld be pleasant to recall on a rainy day : )

Maybe today
It's gonna be okay
I will remember

speaking of stars.. i wanna go star gazing!! havent had the luxury of time since eons ago.. now that that's finally back in my grip.. muahaha. well at least for now. i was promptly reminded by a senior of how near A's were today. gee cut me some slack will ya. >.< 2 months. that's a loonnngg time =p for now im juz gonna catch up on sleep haha!

angel of music

promise me that all you say is true
that's all i ask of you

music makes things alright. yeah it does.

people say, you can tell how a person is by how he/she reacts under stress. today, i realized that you dont need a stressful situation to truly tell a person's character. little signals and actions speak for themselves. i pray to God to grant me patience and acceptance. i tell myself, they are doing the best they can. in times like these, God reminds me of His perfect and unconditional love. He loved us without expectation, and i should love others without expectations too.

breathe in breathe out. it's just human nature...

Softly, deftly, music shall caress you
Hear it, feel it, secretly possess you
Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind

on a brighter note, econs paper today marks the end to prelims!! grr altho i did make MANY careless mistakes in the mcq section, and had a slight bit of time management prob for drq, but i think i'll pass : ) and that's all that matters right now. more than half of the class went for lunch together after the paper. and for ONCE we took less than an hour to decide where to eat. hurray.

ok -fastfoward-

shopping! we dragged our sleep-deprived but ecstatic souls through mango, browsing isetan earrings, and PS. i got a bag at xcessories : ) plus a cute ipod sock. say no to scratches! hehehe.

Let your mind start a journey through a strange, new world
Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before
Let your soul take you where you long to go
Only then can you belong to me

o.m.g i think im gonna play badminton tmr for the first time in... i lost count. it's so sad considering how we use to play every single week last yr. yet another family tradition that's diminished over time. i rly miss those times. i miss last year. a LOT.

sometimes i wish time wld pause, stop, and rewind. take me back to my dreams, where things were almost perfect and happy. and SIMPLE. browsing through my old photographs frm last yr, the temporality of the gd things i have struck me. just as good things come and go, friendships are also like the cosine curve. it starts off high, but it often falters off to a low. it may rise again, it may not. i guess time will tell.

You are my desire,
no one else will do
cuz nothing else could take Your place
to feel the warmth of Your embrace

ahh well i know i'll be fine if Jesus is my friend : ) besties forever!

a whole new world

catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
save it for a rainy day!

one more day to gooooo...
i cant help but feel happy : ) im sry for science peeps. it'll b over soon too!

one more dayyyy... : )

mixed feelings bout today's paper. i wasnt expecting much considering i spent my entire ytd doing everything BUT study for the paper. till 30 minutes before the clock struck 12 i was still casually airing my books (which have gotten a lil wet) and humming beauty & the beast. i woke up this morning, thinking shit im screwed, n then heck, juz whack : ) ahh well lets juz keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best!

i attended a record-breaking 4 hours of econs tuition ytd. O.M.G. the first time and last time ever in this life. we put the law of diminishing returns truly to the test, esp in a combined class of 8.. the aa3 guys juz lost it after a while haha. it was funny to watch. wee and had my 2nd lamb burger wit joshua. im STILL lovin' it! :D this comes strange for a girl who doesnt like sheep when they're in a bowl without wool. hmm...

omg my dad bought charlie & the chocolate factory!! and must love dogs!! : ) just as my exams are ending.. yay! God truly planned a time for everything haha.

ohohoh! i saw a squirrel with nuts in its mouth just now! O.M.G it was adorable shai n i were walking to the bus stop, and one hopped right by us on top of the fence, and i saw nuts in its mouth!! it was pretty big.. like the size of the squirrel's head, and i screamed at shai to look at it, but he looked everywhere but at the squirrel due to my incoherent instructions (LOOK!!!) o well too bad. i shld have had a camera with me dang!

so sleepy nowww.. i keep forgetting i still have a paper tmr! last leg of this (trial) race. lets cross the finish line together with huge smiles on our faces! go ahred! : )

somewhere out there

Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight
Someone's thinking of me and loving me tonight

Somewhere out there someone's saying a prayer
That we'll find one another in that big somewhere out there

such beautiful lyrics.. : ) jason rmb when we sang that at my place!! haha. if u even read this anymore.

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

brings me back to my disney days : ) today seems like the back-to-the-kid-days for me haha. blowing plastic balloons wit my sister, & disney soundtrack, movies. beauty & the beast! :D

Let me be your wings
Leave behind the world you know
for another world of wonderous things.
We´ll see the universe and dance on Saturns´s rings.
Fly with me and I will be your wings.

haha disney's the culprit for inculcating and cultivating the romantic idiot that im now :p

ahh so cute

she's so cute!! too bad she's not my cousin/sister or watever. mark shone's daughter. pretty baby haha

the f word

Cause I had a bad day
I'm taking one down
I sing a sad song just to turn it around

the word of the day.. is fail. hehe. or flunk. or fish. no, i dont swear.

this was how bad the geog paper was:
raj: GG is an understatement man! we frigging got raped!

ha ha.

yup it was bad. oh so bad. i never once stopped writing in the 3 hours. yet, at the time of death ("pens down!"), i had 2 DRQs undone, one 25 mark essay left, and plenty to worry about. -insert tear-

fail math: check
fail geog: check

yeah yeah i know how the saying goes. dont cry over flunked papers. i mean, spilled milk. so i tried some guys' icecream. DOTA! ok no, i did not play dota. but i did try some games that involved holding a gun, and shooting a lousy rabbit. not that it helped.

o well. 10 papers down. 3 to go. im just glad today's over. this broken train will pick herself up again, and go for another choochoo ride. theres always something to thank God for, and that's for the fellowship that's been strengthened as we go through this thick and thin together, holding on and pressing on, being united with God's strength and prayers before the exam : ) go muggers love ya guys : )
