Just last sunday @ grandma's, little gigi was getting a tad bit too excited over the birthday cake, wanted to help put the candles on, and made a big fuss over lighting it.

"Don't play w fire, G. You'll get hurt."

It's such an irony how I could tell a 3 year old that... yet I couldn't practise what I preach. I've always pride myself on being very discerning, sentient, careful, head >> heart, and the list goes on. So...... What happened???

But all's good now :) This and that, wouldn't kill me.

I remember watching the finale of The OC 4 years back... And thinking that it had the best song for a perfect ending. An ending... And I'll leave it as that. Gotta suck it up.

IF TIME IS ALL I HAVE



What a wrong choice of song to be listening to at 2am. You know, something along the lines of a famous saying that goes, 2am is the weakest time of your heart, mind and soul......... Haha! Ok so the saying came from Yours Truly, but trust me it is definitely credible. Anw, I love listening to live performances. I'd choose youtubing them anytime over listening to the CD version. I know some performances can be so overkill sometimes... (Cracked voices crowd shrieking all) But for me it's precisely these imperfections which make them perfect. Haha I am weird like that. In my defense, I quote Haruki Murakami "...a certain type of perfection can only be realized through a limitless accumulation of the imperfect..." Hear Hear! Such wise words from a wise man.

Speaking of this wise man, he is the best!!! I've been online reading his quotes, his interviews, "Ten things you need to know about Haruki Murakami" etc etc... He is utterly amazing. Maybe it's only me, but I find a man who can write incredibly sexy. Best friends should know how much I love writing... Emails. Letters. Postcards. Or how freaking excited I am receiving them. You've no idea. Like a 3 year old opening her first ever christmas present.

Girls, tonight I present to you #2 sexiest man on earth... Mr Murakami.

Well I had to reserve the #1 spot for another... The wise man who wrote a short text to me when I was going through my breakup last year, and was so devastated I was reduced to a bag of bones......

"Love yourself. Live better."

Sobs those words... *Wipes Tears* Told you I wasn't kidding about the saying. 2am is really an emotional time. Guess I somehow got my dad's wise genes. Looking forward to seeing (Tay, 2011) as some sort of reference in future. Haha! I am so lame.

Photos that are supposed to be up on fb but I am just so lazy... This weekends I promise!!!

Note to self : No threading down the same path.

Thank God for friends who keep me grounded.

With all my friends getting hooked onto twitter... I'm left all alone in the blogosphere. Sobs... *Cues song I'm so lonelyyyy. I'm mister lonelyyyy. I have nobodyyyy. So if you happen to be reading this and still drop by this space from time to time, lemme give you a big fat virtual hug. You're my true friend!!!

I'll be updating soon!!! Stay tuned.

The Claw - Dreamworld @ Gold Coast, May 2011

My sis recently introduced this book to me, Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro... I'm only into the first chapter and I'm officially hooked. I am so excited to finish it. Even more excited to get my butt down to Starbucks tmr because I reckon caramel macchiato would go well with it. Well these days... I absolutely love spending my days like this. It's refreshing. I know I'm young and I should be out there, having the time of my life. Drinking vodka, getting fuzzy, and erm.. shuffling? But nah, nothing like that. I'm actually living the life of an old hag. In my defense, my horoscope (yes I am that lame) this month on Her World says, You'll be pleasantly surprised to learn that you love your own company... Geminis should spend some time on their own to think... You see??? I cannot run away from the truth. But fret not friends, because it also wrote "Expect an energy boost and an increased libido after the 21st" Haha! This is so fun. I should really have my horoscope read every month.

P.S/ I'm turning 22 this friday. Hence I really ought to change "my-sweets". It's getting really embarrassing. Even my friends have moved on long ago from lifeofakitty... yummyfishsticks... stripesofgrey... Just to name a few.

RT @_DanielOng I keep hearing parties saying how Singapore has failed this past 10 years... I look around and see nothing but beauty.

Contentment.

Sidetrack, Aussie in a week's time!!!

We were merely Freshmen

Can't believe that on the very last day of my uni life, I still make mistakes only a stupid freshie will make. "The exam is at 1pm!!! Confirm chop plus stamp." The entire MPSH was empty. Nic checked her phone. Rolled her eyes. Sigh. I don't deserve to graduate.

Well anyway a conversation with a friend today went like this... Not exactly a friend, an acquaintance. Hence, the small talk.

"I'm more excited about the Royal Wedding than the General Elections."

And his reply? "Wah seriously you're such a bimbo."

Big mistake. Huge cardinal mistake. Because firstly, not being excited about the GE does not mean that I've zero knowledge on it. Nor does it make me intellectually inadequate to take on any political argument (which I believe I can, anytime. And which I pointed out). 2) Kate Middleton is gorgeous, classy and I love her hair. Prince Charles is probably the only guy on earth who can pull off the bald look. David Beckham was there. Anyone who is disinterested in the wedding does not know how to appreciate the finer things in life (Which I too pointed out) 3) I haven't had lunch. Shit paper. 4 hours of sleep. Bad hair day. Pre-mences. Foul mood. So don't piss me off (Totally pointed that out).

Hahahaha, poor guy. He caught me at a wrong time.

Anw to all girls out there sulking tonight... It's ok, we still have Prince Harry.

Exactly my kind of books :D

We are young, We run free
Stay up late, We don't sleep
Got our friends, Got the night
We'll be alright.

I'll be alright :)

So fcking stressed

I spent the last hour or so watching the heartwrenching situation and videos in Japan on youtube. I teared, and told my dad how sorry I feel for the Japanese people. I don't know why either, that lately I have been such an emotional drama queen. Yes I know I've always been a crybaby, but more so this time round. I can watch the Tsunami sweep away houses, cars, smashing everything in its way, and I'll cry... And even when drey told me last night about her schoolmate passing away suddenly, my heart just got so heavy I had to stop myself from tearing in the bus.

Maybe life and its uncertainties are really getting to me... I have never felt this way before but they scare me. They really do.

Got the Friends, Got the Night, We'll be Alright

Conversation I heard on the Mrt...

Little Boy A: I wanna see your peacock, cock, cock, cock, peacock
Little Boy B: I wanna see your zebra, bra, bra, bra, zebra
Little Boy C: I wanna see your lanjiao, jiao, jiao, jiao, jiao... (x100)
A+B+C: *LOL ROFL LMAO*

?!?!?!?!?!?!

I was inside this cafe having cheesecake & coffee but decided to brave the damn weather to sneak a pic... Just had to show everyone the place that serves the BEST cheesecake I've ever tried. Totally melts in your mouth... Light and fluffy. I would give anything everything to be back there.

Anyway, contrary to my previous post... (Why did I sound so depressed? Haha I'm sorry I have quite a bad case of PMS) I've been feeling really blessed hehe. Here's to more good times & good news coming my way...



And I think... Every girl deserves to meet a man like him :'(

I switched on my laptop, pretended to watch The Notebook and cried and cried and cried... I don't hear anything, I'm not even watching anything. I just needed to cry, and this was the only way.

Can I just say that I love Japan??? I love everything about it... Except its cold. I absolutely hate winter!!! I mean, one hour of falling snow all over my freezing face is fine, but the entire freaking day? Not my cup of tea. Nonetheless, I enjoyed myself to the T. Sashimi, Shio butter ramen, Hokkaido's Ishiya white chocs, Sapporo Beer & a street full of damn chio girls made up for the disgusting weather. And I'd definitely be back for more of Tokyo very very very soon!! Any takers??? :)

Things I've to get done asap:
1) Haircut Therapy
2) Facial
3) Mani Padi (for the New Year)
4) GET MY HEART, MIND & SOUL BACK TO SCHOOL & BOOKS :(

Over the Lights of Sunset and Vine,

Su and I spent our last night ever in hall chatting over Carlsberg, and our take-in sushi platter, Swiss rolls and choco bun. It was a rainy gloomy night, and the entire setting was a little melodramatic... Haha! Sigh, I don't wanna grow up. 21 is a perfect age to be at, and I want to be forever 21. Well you can act dumb and do idiotically stupid stuff and blame it on being ONLY 21 (hey not even a quarter century old), but you can also roll your eyes and go "Grrr young punks these days............" you know act wise and smart? Like you've been there, done that. Apart from having my own babies, and that's the only exception, I am not at all looking forward to growing old.

Totally irrelevant, but Harry Potter was soooo good, totally did justice to the book I hope part II doesn't disappoint. Oh in case you're wondering.. yes I'm a huge HP fan!!!

One more month. Lets get this shit over and done with. Every morning I wake up and I feel a sense of despair yes school is THAT bad. Doesn't help that the f up weather is causing me pimples and best friends should know how pimplephobic I am.................. All adds up to this crazy amount of stress I'm feeling. Sigh, why do I feel that this is the worst sem yet???

You're the sweetest friend in the entire world mab <3

Starting to find back that little hope again.... & the feeling is just too amazing. :D

October... Already?!?!

I think I have the most annoying habit of blogging in a very errantic manner. Long hiatus and then suddenly I'm back with lots of pictures.. Or I get bored halfway through so it always either ends abruptly, or just no words at all. But still. No no no no no twitter for me. I refuse, and I refuse again, to succumb to peer pressure!!! Haha I'll try my best to update here as and when I can. Its tough, considering school & the gala event. But I'll make an effort :)

To val,

Because I love seeing you this happy.

With love, Ping <3

The big brother left for the UK this morning. Mummy cried like shit hahaha whats new?!?! So biggie, if you're reading this ('cos I know you spy on me from time to time), come back with your First Class & make daddy happy. Also... some Chanels maybe??? Love you <3
