Friday Night In Neon Lights


Contrary to my previous post, I had a super awesome night out with the girls! Glad to know that despite everyone's busy schedule, we always make time for each other... (: The ambience at giraffe was really good, & noone really cared how loud we laughed, shrieked and screamed. Haha, always that case especially with val & drey around, right??? Abso-freaking-lutely cannot wait for our party on the 26th! It's gonna be so so fun.

Sg's getting really boring so Hans and I will be going on a short vacation next week. I'm looking forward 'cos my body's screaming for some well-deserved massages and spa therapy! And hopefully get some manicure & pedicure done there too.. My body and soul needs the rejuvenation, really.

I'm getting really sick of my hair. Sooooo very tempted to cut it short! Haha, it was supposed to be Dawn and I's year-end plan but you know what? I think I'm gonna chicken out in the end hahahaha. Totally excited to see you in your new hairstyle though, I'm sure you'll look gorgeoussssss D (: You and drey are gonna look more alike than ever!

My dad's out sailing for a week now. Just wish sometimes, I have half the energy and zest he has. I cannot even complete 1/4 of the 42km marathon he's gonna do. I am really getting frail and weak, help!!! I must, I will, I have to hit the gym tomorrow. I promise.

"Well, you need a blue sky holiday"

I guess I got jaded along the way...

It's such a horrible week, I have no idea where to start. I just do what I do best, I'm shutting myself out. I miss you Meryl, are you back yet? Text/call me baby.

Totally made my day... awww right??

It was my nephew, matt's one-year-old birthday party today! Can't believe I'm an aunt now (: I thought the public holiday was well spent with the big family at Aloha, I see gigi every weekend but I just can't get enough of her. You know I'm really thankful I have 'Sunday Dinner At Grandma's' every weekend. Being in hall made me realise how much I really am very attached to my family. Mom will give me random calls just to check on me, & daddy's "Ping, come home for dinner tonight. Cooked your favourite grilled salmon fish." Hansel always tells me how awesome it is to have an extended family as close as mine is... I definitely am grateful. Because I know come what may, I have a whole load of close ones to fall back on.

Mer's back, it feels like good ol' Siglap again.

Finally done with one module.. why am I feeling so damn tired already?

In any case, the weekends were love. Happy birthday mummy, daddy & my little sister (: The birthday celebrations lasted all weekend, with so much good food & cakes cakes cakes. And to val & jess too, I'll see the gang on wed night yes? Calendar check: 25th - the bestf from Sydney's coming back. 26th - Shee's coming back! 27th - it's Merly baby's turn. Can't wait can't wait. Well I hate the exams... but little events like these make me happy(:

Incredibly stressed out by this media project.. Can't wait for submission on fri, & that will be one module down. It's gonna be a crazy night for me.

I have been feeling so disorientated the entire week. Just what am I thinking? It's so hard to have a break to myself because of my many other social obligations. Obligations I wish sometimes, I'd rather not have. I know I shouldn't be thinking this way.. but I can't help it. I hope I'm doing myself more good than harm by channeling every bit of energy I have to my work, my projects, my deadlines. Afterall, it's week09, NUS hectic period of the semester. The year-end is nearing, and then a new year. Daddy's favourite new year quesion, "so what have you achieved this year?", without fail. I'm speechless, I don't even know how to answer that, it's so familiar it's not even funny anymore.

It's the 21st again. So happy "eleventh" baby.. (: Never showed much, never said once but - you've been amazingly wonderful to me, for giving me unconditional support, the encouragement I always need "press on, it's only a week more baby" & just staying by my side whenever you can.. Always knew that somehow with you around, I'll always find my way back.

Said the hearts all over the world tonight

it's nearly august. That set me thinking.. whatever happened to the summer holidays?! It's amazing how time flies when I'm having sooo much fun, when I'm intoxicated with happiness. But I foresee august to be a great month, with BASH @ ZOUK coming right up. It is also afterall, the birthday month of 3 important people in my life (: Speaking of bash, well im pretty excited about it! For the amount of work the team has to do for the mere 2 hours event.. but I say, worth every minute every cent spent every ounce of effort put into it. The team is getting pretty tight, it's nice to see everyone giving in their best for the event. I'm praying everything goes according to plan till Dnd in sept. Come then, I hope everyone will have a blast.

well here's my usual installment of pictorials. Pretty much an understatement of the amount of fun I had.. but it's the closest that I can get.

Of a love that could never quite fade


I know I haven't blogged in the longest time.. but everytime I sit down & try to write about the day I had, nothing even comes close.

The summer break has been.. well, totally totally awesome. It wasn't the party-till-you-drop kind of awesome but more on the good food, great conversations, amazing company side. With mab, us driving all around town searching for the best ice cream, with clar & our coffee addiction, the six of us.. "we're growing up so fast!!" conversations, 13 DYING hours with kitty, my f&f girls and our mini party at dawn's place, dawn & qi at our usual TCC, drey nicky i miss you guys!, with bernice stella olivia & lilyan back (: and of course, with hansel.. many many breakfasts, night picnics, going for walks, having movie marathons, stuffing ourselves silly with food.. So you see, I've been insanely happy, piling up on the kilos with all that food but still, incredibly, insanely happy.

I'm approaching the new sem with mixed feelings. I don't know if it was a wise decision leaving hall life behind, but I believe it would be. Afterall, there are friendships made in there I reckon will last a lifetime (: Right V??? One last thing though. For the bash at zouk & dnd to be a success. Heading pageant this year, I'm actually pretty excited about it.

Busy weeks up ahead. Dnd will be keeping me on my toes, hall orientation, and then it will be the mad school rush. But no complains there, looking forward to whatever's in store for me.

I carry your heart with me

Remind me why I feel so blessed.

My family, the solids, the constants, the can't-do-withouts in my life.. I know i can count on them come what may. And really proud of you big brother (:

I just got off the phone with hansel. It's amazing how we can talk for hours, and still have so much left to say. I love how he understands me without having to try, how easily we can read each other's thoughts, smacks on the back & yell "I knew you were going to say that!", how we snuggle up with ice cream & chips & talk about our family, our friends, our future, our dreams. Hearing hans speak, looking at his expressions, his eyes, it'll get me all teary because I know he doesn't always open up to just anyone and he opening up so much of his heart to me, showing me his life, letting me into his world, I've never felt like this in a long time but I'm truly the luckiest girl alive(:

" i love you baby, more than you imagine.. more than I have ever loved in my life " I read this before I sleep every night. And counting the lucky stars in the sky

I can't believe my body's failing me at the age of 20. My body has been cueing me sick on-off for an entire week, after the genting trip to be precise.. So even with all the amazing friends & the celebrations I had all week, I couldn't enjoy to the maximum. But still, the B week was awesome (: I'll update on it soon! (once i got all the pictureess) Right now, I'll give my body its well-deserved rest & pucker up, I can't let daddy go on everyday about me looking like a "ageing 40 year old refugee" when i've been 20 for only 1 day and err, refugee?!?!

last night saw us hopping from timbre @ substation to hooters (the hall king ogling at hot girls) & the clinic at clarkequay to timbre again @ the arts house & finally to esplanade at 3am. Ruth: this is like the amazing race! talks along the way, cheers to drinks, to good music.. & awesome company(: Shopping & manicure in the afternoon with drey, strolling down orchard & talking just about everything anything.. i wouldn't have chose to spend my friday in any other way. Brewerkz up next, with the usual friday gang.. looking forward to ice-cold afternoon beer.

On a sidenote, it's great seeing the best friend in love because well, she isn't exactly a sucker for romance so, it's been a while. i'm so happy for you M! hurry get your butt back from melbourne, we need to have gelare-coffeeclub-starbucks-kopitiam marathon at siglap again(:

I'm enjoying my holidays to the maxiiiiimum. The OC's still my no.1 favourite tv show & i just can't get enough of it, white chocolate dream's a must-have everyday coffee blend (missing you qi), dimsum at the airport (kitty!), baking with mom & sis & sunday afternoon jogs with daddy. can't wait for California, Sydney & Melbourne girls to be back in Sg & the crazy genting trip.

" its 3 more days baby. and i cant wait to be back with you. " awwww (: let it be tuesday soon.

Just got back from zouk & I'm so so glad the night's over cos I'm plain exhausted, all I wanna be is home sweet home. Imprompt-3 won the stardust finals, no fight honestly they were awesome. Line of the day (ruth/kenrick/leon): "what now?!?!" Bunch of super indecisive & greedy people, because final decision will always see us landing up at some place eating. It was good seeing people again nonetheless(: Quote gab's famous one-liners "Age. SENSITIVE ISSUE."

Hansel's in hongkong-shanghai now. I never thought I'd miss him this much but I do.. even with emails & phonecalls & smses, they never seem enough. Clar & I had a talk over iced chocolate con panna this afternoon, i miss talks like this & i'm just so happy that you're happy dear.

Realisation about many things this week. Theres probably no words appropriate enough to adequately express my emotions right now.. but i'll deal with it. 13 hours with yl next week, I'm actually pretty looking forward(:

Genting at the end of the month.. I need time to fly.
Posted at 2:33 AM

I finally moved out of hall today. I'll definitely miss hall so much, those late night suppers (4 girls to a mini pot & growing fat together), screaming down the A2 corridor + visits from alla pitchay(: I was unpacking the stuff in my room just now & i smiled at those little post-sticks the swines used to stick on my door awww! Not that I'm upset, because I'm more than glad to be back at good ol' Siglap. Right now, all I need is bestfriend+Siglap khaki Merylann Oh to be back in june & life's awesome. The hols are here, I'll make it good. To those dahling friends facing doubts in their life right now.. chin up - you guys will make it through & I'll throw in a big fat cuddly hug :D

Amidst the exams, theres still some love... Happy birthday S (: even with the horrible evening paper, the night was amazing - drey's sushi cravings, snow white & the malay ahlian, chocolate lava cake / apple crumble cheesecake & Stace's trademark birthday pose! goodluck with the exams pretty awwww next up june?!?!

The D word came into play many times this week. I think disappointment's a really powerful emotion, at least for me. Because to feel disappointment, you feel hurt anger & vexation all at the same time. Learning to take things in my stride.. & to get used to the change which I'm sure it's pretty obvious. Exactly one year ago, I was in hongkong, I'd give everything, anything to go back to those days... & the must-have-everyday mango desserts (:

Nic's birthday celebration at butterfac on wed night.. was quite a turnout & everyone got high, just what we all needed right??? (:

For now, it's studying for the exams till 050509.

The rain's gone, here comes the swallows

Brunch at one twenty-six. The place was awesome.. took us a whole load of time choosing the best seats because "theres sun shining on my face!" / "scissors paper stone see who sits on the sofa", but it was lovely all the same. To kitty my dearest girl, you've my shoulder it's permanently available for you. & happy birthday to you beckyyy, we'll have a proper post celebration after we're all done with this shit okay??? love you anyway (:

I've been thinking quite a bit lately... that perhaps I should stop expecting so much from myself. I'm always thinking everything's not good enough. Nothing's ever good enough. Honestly.. it's mentally exhausting to have to question every single thing I do, and expecting so much more when I know I just can't. Hans always tells me to just do my best & it'll be just fine, but best just isn't good enough either. whats up with me?

Besides the fact that my new phone's touch screen sensitivity is highly annoying, camera functions are pretty good though (: can't expect much since daddy got it for free. Super glad I met the girls yest for coffee, and we witnessed drama first-hand VIP view! it was such a perfect way to spend my afternoon, even though I had to study for my midterm this morning. Even more glad for the weekends, it's grandma's and brother's birthday celebration tmr night... birthdays are always, always good to have.

And to my dear girlfriends.. i'm feeling perfectly fine (: this & that, won't kill me.

lets all buck up for the remaining weeks, can't wait for the one million and one plans during the term break!

This was the night of my countdown to '09.. I remember praying for the new year to be awesome & lots & lots of other stuff, but right now all I want to pray is for daddy to be fine cos I love you daddy. To my two girls in the picture: I miss youuuuuuuuu guys (& our 4days a week routine during the 8-month long holiday..) I miss that but I miss you guys even more. I know I'm online more often than I should be (when I've two mid-terms coming up), but that's only because my happy pills come in the form of emails. (from the f&f girls NT AC CS JA DK VT, from qihui, drey, linxin, shihui & merly too) The feeling's indescribable when I come back to my hall room after a very exhausting day in school & feel like shit, and these emails.. they keep me going.

It's week 9, time to study reallyyy hard so i can enjoy my 3month break after. To those suckerrsss who laughed at my dean's list, P.S.: YVETTE FREAKING YEO (still purposely message me hahaha asshole) but for all those times you stood by me, i send you love my favourite bitch(:

Slow dancing in a burning room

I miss.

It's an all-time low & frankly, I've no idea why.. Maybe it's just the accumulation of a million & one stuff. Right now, my mind's in a complete mess, heart's caught in a whirlwind, thoughts are scattered everywhere... But still. Thanks kitty for the phone call today i love you (:

Posted at 2:25 AM

... But I'm too young to worry

Finally home for the weekends. I don't get why I allow myself to be tied down by dance productions & cheerobics.. I'm completely burned out. I had dance prac & cheer training up till 3am the other night, I was so exhausted all I wanted to do was to go home. Not like I'm blaming anyone or anything, because it was my choice afterall. Just hope everything will turn out awesome and it'll be all worth it (:

Amidst these mad wreck crack, am just glad for everything else in my life.. the family, the girlfriends & hans. 'Cos I know that these people are my constants, so I'm holding it up pretty well.

Right now, gotta start with the books..Extremely important cos I promised daddy I'm gonna be on dean's list (hahaha don't laugh no kidding!)

Posted at 10:39 PM

Realised I haven't updated in the longest while. Everything's been really, really awesome. "You're still the same slut" - Merly. M's been back for awhile now, just amazing how things remained how it were since our fountain promise at 10 : I miss. Poolside talk with Qihui at serangoon gardens tonight, Bestf you're amazinggg. The hilarious messages (drey: "I'll take over as president of the lonely hearts club!" hahaha) I got on 15feb from the bestest friends in the whole wide world, the sixofus, my f&fs.. they mean so much to me I still keep every single one in my inbox! A piece of my heart to you, girlfriends. And of course... hans (:

Been exhausted from multiple trips to GGM's wake. I think being at a funeral's a really sad thing, regardless of how close you are to the person. Just hope mom's okay.. I don't think I'll ever be able to get used to the idea of death, doubt anyone ever will.

Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter

Happy Birthday to mom, daddy & the loveliest sister. And to 15th nov baby V : you're not ditched, we're still a threesome. D (BABY) and i still love you (: MMM, i miss your sexy voice & even though it was a short phone call (as compared to the ones we had in SG like honestly 4 hours?!) you had me smiling to myself all night. I'm war-prepared back here, with brooms & mops & all so NO FEAR OK??? Lets see, who else do I miss? Well I could go on and on and on forever... but I'll skip that, you guys know who you are. Good news friends! After the 27th, I'm all Yours

Halloween was fantabulous. I had the best company ever (P.S: I hope you liked the halloween gift X!), cookies&cream ice cream at 2am, the movies, 5am macs breakfast & finally, to my bed at 8am that morning with the perfeeeccct rainy weather.. it was just awesome and I felt so happy, couldn't have asked for more (:

Okay, so lots of changes lately. But I'm embracing them pretty well.. because I know, you know, it's short-term and well, I need this okay?? So cut me some slack. I know I'm insane and one day things might just fall apart (and hence, me) but.. I'll deal with that when it comes.

Come what may, I know I can count on my girlfriends.

It's week 12, I have to start giving attention to the books that I've been neglecting for like, how many years again? I'll see you guys soon!

/edited : to the friend all the way over at California.. Chin up my dear girl. Things will only get better (: Wait for my mail. AND YOU'RE COMING BACK IN DEC, HURRAYYYYY!!!
