Hello

It is 3am.
I'm just about (JUST about) done gearing up for 10 days in a foreign land.
My brain is gonna burst any minute.

I'm swallowed in my workload.

three more days!!!!

The clothes I'd buy if I weren't (saving money for) going to Taiwan



Wait... Why are they all black??

right here with me, love.

These days are a crazy reminder of suntorched summer days long forgotten. Also known as OMG ITS DAMN FREAKING HOT!

So I was reading the papers in the airconditioned comfort of the office.
A girl with brain tumour had her wish granted. To be an adult. Something along the line of wanting to stay up late, club and uh, work.
I tried really hard to recall my days as a 7 year old kid... To want to be an adult.. of course I did.
Still do, sometimes.
But the working part...? Okay. Maybe as some big-shot in the office. Staying up late? Been there... done that.
But clubbing? What is that? I never came across the word until I was.. 15? Till then it was always known to me as going to the "Disco". Doesn't sound very enticing to me. Brings up images of dark rooms and disco balls and sleazy guys. Not. Nice.

Maybe there's something wrong with the society.
I'm not trying to be puritanical. I had my own fair share of alcoholic fun that I'd love to sweep under the carpet and hope my parents never find out.
Maybe it's about me working in a ______.
But when we (a friend and I) stared agape at the papers and tried to come up with our own version of adulthood... these were what we (hope to) see ourselves doing:

• earning money
• ... earning more money than what we do at our current job
• uh. being healthy, living and kicking adults
• settling down, maybe?

Maybe _____ers are the most boring species on Earth. I've often thought that way but now that the boot is on the other foot, I think... maybe all that is made out to be (fun) ain't all that exciting to begin with. (Maybe I'm just saving my ass.)

A few hours later I came up with my own list.
When I grow up, I wanna be:

• earning money. still.
• driving. or being driven. don't mind either.
• I don't know if I would be ready for all that parenting but nobody ever is, right?
• ...but I know I want to be spending time with people I love.
• still buying kooky breakfast cereals and eating them on the bed while reading the magazines.
• and the list goes on..
  

I think the older we get, the harder we try to hold on to our childhood, isnt it?


Still.
Hope the lovely girl on the papers grows up healthy and finally discovers that the real cocktails don't taste as good as the mocktail she was given... but most importantly,
still enjoy adulthood anyway...

love the snapping part

I think jessica szhor is freaking hot.

Last night was Selena's birthday!

dayum. Happy Birthday Sele!

6 more days to Taiwan!!!

Friday noon. Missing papers. Mad search frenzy... to no avail.
Evening time: Dinner @ ikea. Entirely too much food...
Window shopping. Even more food.
Home. Flick on the switches: there! Missing papers found.

Good day...

listening to girl in a coma makes me feel like running through town with an icecream cone in hand... wearing flowy sheer tees mmm I am such a hippie.

It's THURSDAY dear God let Friday come quick!!
I (almost) cannot stand it anymore!

I lost my ability to write.
(as if I was ever able to... I know what you're thinking)

7 more days of crowd control in class and I should be taking off for Taiwan,
BUT now we are slapped in the face with what seems to be the first case of swine flu in Taiwan. What a pleasant surprise.
Not gonna daunt us though (I hope).

Today was special. No kids in school... but I marked so many papers I could swear that my brain was haemorrhaging from all the bad grammar and mispelt words.
I am going (ever so slightly) crazy.
There was a large buffet in school, proceeding which the staff formed their little lunch cliques and indulged in all the food... naturally I was the outcast. Along with Peiyi. And my second cousin. Now that's not so bad.
And then, I realised, you know... high school never ends. You still have the group who are always trying to keep abreast with the current trends and office gossips. The weirdoes. The wannabes. The outcasts.... Life is a never ending school term.
Except there aren't really any teachers.

I have more work to do now (at eleven pm... how presposterous!)
but I am still hooked on my book. I'm outta here!

japanese on saturday




pseudo japanese on friday


little wonder why i am so broke...

I swear tonight was the strangest night of my life.

We (yappy and I):
-drank at homeclub
-moaned about our lack of good guy friends
-down pops a staff off-duty and we made a new (guy) friend out of the said off-duty staff
-finished drinks,
-went to Zirca, standing outside in the chill... can't find his friend.
-cabbed to Zouk
-signed in free at Zouk
-got more drinks... on new friend's tab
-chatted some more
-then left


It was strange. But nice.
Had some of the nicest drinks I've had...... ever. I am a loser.

More next time.. the bed beckons.

I have a huge bruise on my right knee.
I kind of like it.


Today in the office I've made a fool of myself again, it makes me laugh (inside) how some of the people there look like they want to kill me or something when I make stupid mistakes like I do...
but so long as I do not step back into the _____ing field I know my future will be fine. Just fine. Beyond what they can imagine... judging by my silly mistakes.

I returned my Blackberry today. Had enough of the crazy technical glitches... hope it can be resolved. Or get my money back. I am standing right outside the door marked "Financial Crisis Beyond This Point". Second bff outing of the week tomorrow. Ooh no this is the way I'm going down...

I hate being 19.

nineteen and the dancing queen

hello world!

I'm one foot in the graveyard of teenagehood - all of nineteen years of age now.
To mark that special day, we (the girls and myself) got chased out of the second floor of Wala because we were yet to be twenty... too young?! The audacity!
Nevertheless, it was fun. Almost like junior college again. I miss those days...


And now, to serve my social duty as (one of) the photographer(s) du nuit...




okay the rest are up on facebook...
& I'm out!

oh, and



I HAD to... hahaha!

Hello world

What is up?
I'm currently on The Sister's new lappie, feeling like a stealth because it has some weird veriface system - (users will be verified by their faces) and I have yet to be initiated into the pool of registered users. I like that jittery feeling.

On a totally unrelated note,
my weekend had been superb so far. & I have pictures!










more next time, probably.

Here's typing on the phone, under the full moon, nursing my second drink of the night..
My 19th birthday in two days.
Here's thinking my boring social life is the brutally honest reflection of a waste of youth and maturity. Not a fan of rock music, can't find the joy in getting wasted, unable to find the beauty in alcohol... I am an utter bore. I drink long island teas for the sizzling gassiness of the coke, mojitos for the sour limes... I listen to.. Colbie caillat , not guns n roses. Don't know the lyrics to all the rock songs. What is life about?

I should return to bed soon. My temporal haven. After a nice warm shower... And a bed time read. Don't care if I'm left out of the cool crowd. Won't give a damn if the rockers won't throw me even one glance... I wanna be me. Just me.

Happy saturday, world.

such luck

2 things:

1. I got locked out today. I only discovered about that after a long stroll home in the fucking hot sun, humming and thinking to myself that it was such a good day because I knocked off early. Joke.
2. My new wallet came... with a security device tightly secured to the bills compartment. Like, WHAT THE FUCK. It was the size of a thumb, white, and looped tightly to the wallet by means of thick, entwined copper wires covered with a layer of pvc. FUCK. How am I going to remove that on my own?! You would have thought that the shipping people at Kate Spade would have better sense to remove the security device before shipping out their items... no. They had to show their customers just how stringent they were with their security. Free security devices with every wallets!
I had to cut some fabric inside the wallet. Fuck. Luckily it was hidden.


Aaaaaaaaaaand now I gotta go back out into the welcoming sun to post a parcel for my sister. Adios!

Life is good.


Had another interview today. Better than the other one, I'd say, but I got through that interview so here's hoping I'd score this one too..

2 more days to The Weekends. Another long weekend this week before we nosedive into (the kids') Examination Week. How I wish to be in school again!


P.S.: Will be getting my BB baby tonight... words cannot describe how I feel.



annnnnnnnd I'm out!xx

fantasical

Today's the birthday of my oldest friend... :)
(but I don't have a picture of us)

Happy 19th Charlene dear : )

I'm astounded by the speed of time.

Six days later marks the 19th year of my own birthday.
I was wondering what could make a good present when I decided I've all that I wanted... or needed anyway.
I've ordered the jeans I've coveted for a while...

:) it's pretty damn awesome.
All I need for my birthday will fall into place nicely now!


Here's feeling a little amateurish blogging on blogger, which hosts all the different blogs I've narrated my life in throughout my (younger) teenage years...
Nostalgic, maybe.


I'm out.

first time

Haven't been using blogspot for a bit : )
Hello world...
