Broken (Friday, January 30, 2009 / 7:35 am)

The broken clock is a comfort, it helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow from stealing all my time
I am here still waiting though I still have my doubts
I am damaged at best, like you've already figured out

The broken locks were a warning you got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded, I'm an open book instead
And I still see your reflection inside of my eyes
That are looking for purpose, they're still looking for life

The broken lights on the freeway left me here alone
I may have lost my way now, having forgot my way home

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on
I'm barely holdin' on to you


camy piaoxz (Thursday, January 29, 2009 / 10:53 pm)



Whoa. I was damn touched tonight! Camy piao actually bought me 3 pack of the best stuff for my bday present hahahaha.

And I just received those fingerlicking good gummies after 2 months. Haha anyway thanks camy! Few people remember my fetish for gummies man! But yep, gummies arent too good either. They are easily devoured, especially when they land in my hands. See, the middle haribo happy cola is actually half covered. Cos i ripped it open when I got back into hall! haha!

Anyway thanks piao!:D

Haha piao couldnt really find a nice pic w u and me. This was the best I could find. You look exasperated and crucified at the same time. HAHA.

Anyway, the workload's piling up like mad seriously. The stress is setting in seriously. Deadlines for all the projects, cases, proposals are just gushing in. Oh man! I need something to look forward to! Haha and kinda regretted agreeing to sign up for canvassing for 2 days next wk. Oh dear!

Alright, gotta do some readings for OB seminar now. Damn! Stop Procrastinating!!


the netherlands (Tuesday, January 27, 2009 / 10:44 pm)

Lum and estelle are off to the netherlands tonight! Omg so lucky. At least they have each other when they're over there! When's my turn coming! I hope I can be in the netherlands in jan 2010 too. Ah, when everything falls into pieces. 

I'm back in hall finally. 5day holidays are over in the blink of an eye. I'm starting to miss those late nights I have at home... Okay, this is seriously incoherent. Ah, whatever. Goodnight!

Lum and estelle, have fun at Holland!!:D

Moments that matter at the end of the day. (Saturday, January 24, 2009 / 9:59 pm)

At the end of the day, when it comes down to it, all we really want is to be close to somebody. So this thing, where we all keep our distance and pretend not to care about each other, is usually a load of bull. So we pick and choose who we want to remain close to, and once we've chosen those people, we tend to stick close by. No matter how much we hurt them, the people that are still with you at the end of the day - those are the ones worth keeping. And sure, sometimes close can be too close. But sometimes, that invasion of personal space, it can be exactly what you need.

-Grey's Anatomy

----

I just made myself a cup of coffee. That feels really good. I'm quite afraid of making tea or coffee for myself recently, at night. I suddenly yearn to wake up early in the morning. Enjoy the sunrise, watch the sun rise above the horizon and soon, the whole city is basked in the warm glow. Especially so, when the weather these days just feels so much like summer. Nevertheless, here I am, blogging as I slowly sip my coffee. Feeling the calmness in the air, enjoying every little second that ticks by, relishing these peaceful times..

Soon, I know I'll be flooded with mountains of deadlines. And to think of it, this is merely the beginning. What happens when I enter the working world? When I have to worry about stuff more than just work? These thoughts are depressing yet exciting. I can't wait to graduate, to start working and earn some money, and saving them up so I can really carry out my life long dream when that happens. But the question is.. what's gonna happen thereafter? Haha. Life's depressing at certain times. But, that's life. It isn't a bed of roses. Nonetheless, you gotta sail through it. You gotta enjoy your life! Because life is not measured by the number of breaths you take; but by the moments that take your breath away. Well, I'm glad to say that I've had some of t
hose moments. Plenty actually, and I guess everyone's reading this should be thinking about theirs as well. Good for you! See, life's worth celebrating sometimes. 

-----

No idea why I'm blogging either. Wasn't planning to talk about the job briefing that we attended and the few of us enthusiastically decided to work for 2 days when main commers are only working one. Hahaha, I guess or maybe I hope that the aforementioned moments are discovered only through stuff like this. How often do you get to work with your friends? Especially when you graduate and enter that dog eat dog world? 

Anyway, it's been quite a healthy week despite the late night bingeing. Early dinners should be banned. I feel the urge to snack albeit walking around with a full stomach. Swimming with 6shots rock. The free tanning sessions are way better. Haha.
 5k and 50laps this week. I'm gonna try to swim again tmr. Prepare for the CNY goodies that I can foresee entering my stomach within 24hours. And there's overnight mahjong session tmr. Yes, basically it's because of the overnight session that I decided to drink coffee at this time in order to screw up my bodyclock a bit. 

The entry's getting lengthy. I'm gonna stop here.

Till then, think of those moments that took your breath away and goodnight :)






What boredom does. (Thursday, January 22, 2009 / 11:48 pm)















I was bored.

I am currently still bored.

And I am slightly tanned!

Halloween & Farewell/Birthday! (Sunday, January 18, 2009 / 11:09 pm)

"You know how when you were a little kid and you believed in fairy tales, that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress, prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill. You would lie in bed at night and close your eyes and you had complete and utter faith. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Prince Charming, they were so close you could taste them, but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes and the fairy tale disappears. Most people turn to the things and people they can trust. But the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith, that one day they will open their eyes and it will come true."

- Grey's Anatomy

I've always relished my inner child; I guess it's always difficult to let go of that little dark fantasy that we have in our hearts.

-----------

The weekends flew by just like that. I'm at a loss for words sometimes, when time passes so quickly, when hours seem like seconds and days seem like minutes. Before I know it, reality hits me once again and here I am, back in hall, awaiting the third week of school. Reluctantly, I'm actually counting down to the start of the summer holidays silently in my heart. The new beginning when school starts in August will mark a brand new beginning for me. Many things would have changed by then, and I doubt I can live in my old shadows anymore. Guess I shan't dwell on the way life is, how cruel it is when happy moments always seem to leave us insatiable; always wanting more.

It suddenly dawned upon me that I have not uploaded any halloween photos since last year! I reckon it was too close to the examinations that I actually bid farewell to joyous photo-filled entries and welcomed emo-depressing song lyrics that spammed my blog for quite some time. Nevertheless, here are the photos! (Click on the image for larger views)




















Sann actually brought us halloween masks and party stuff! I thought the ripper mask that I forced on jia's head was quite a good shot. Haha, it's fun to scare people sometimes, but not all the time (that's for zhao). Haha poor jiajia is always freaked out due to zhao's weird fingers tendencies. (recalls: stayover at kasster's room & the stroll at east coast)




















OMG. I suddenly thought of SHUTTER (just watched it with the gang last night!) when I saw these sepia photos. Haha, look closely. Okay, I shall stop scaring myself, I'm gonna be sleeping alone in hall tonight I realise.




















Haha these were the funniest dunks of the night. Estelle was gripping so tightly to the bamboosticks lookalike that no one could dunk her into the fountain at ADM! Poor lum received more than just dunking. Haha punishment for running away from crazy 6shots guys.




















Look closely at the top photo. See what weeming is doing with his hand!! Okay, the bottom right photo is weird too. That's how these 2 guys became so intimate. It all started with nose digging after d&d. Lol.




















More dunking shots. Note: Never self dunk. You always end up wetter than being dunk.




















Best dunk of the night: Sann!

Look at the bottom right photo! She's always holding/eating food albeit being dunked! Isn't that amazing??




















More camwhoring with the party/halloween stuff.




















The blood's kinda real right! Just that my teeth+braces looked all weird and reddish throughout the rest of the photos D:




















Retarded shots. 6 Shots.




















HAHA, doesnt this look weird. Sann with long hair! Sann with no bangs! hahaha. Can't get used to it suddenly.

---------------

Yesterday, we went to the chalet at ECP to celebrate the farewell for lum, estelle, yining and celebrated miao's birthday! Well, I guess our Plan A&B went quite well. Okay, other than the fact that miao discovered that the pandon sponge cake (which was supposed to end up on her face) was all covered with whipped cream and plastered with a layer of raw prawn shells. HAHA!







































Spot the difference in our members! Check out the new hairstyles! :D















Jia's butt is always as perky as ever. Flirtatious filipino maid.














Well, guessed our steamboat night was quite fun afterall! Now we know who's the scrabble pro and that people actually do love board games. (we'll play wake up fake-dad or wake up real-life miaomiao/jiajia another day!) Seems like everyone still have their inner child in them.:D

JB & Sushi Tei/Esplanade :D (Sunday, January 11, 2009 / 11:49 pm)

The weekends are over in a flash, and as I'm blogging this entry. I'm finally back in hall after much procrastination for the whole of today. Ah, school has started and I'm still feeling like I'm in the holiday mood. Then, I start to think about the possibility of going for an exchange via INSTEP, and that seriously excites me. Not motivating me, at this point in time though. I guess I really need to put in hardwork this sem in order to ensure that I still get to go for an exchange when I'm in year2. Oh well, we'll see how this sem goes. 

On thurs, I met up with the NTU/NUS 51 girls :D

Had sushi tei for dinner and thereafter, we heeded qq's advice to go to esplanade rooftop. Unfortunately, we left the cake that wh bought in the open for about 15 mins or so.. and then, BIG BLACK cockroaches invaded our chocolate cake. Haha, wh's initial response to the cockroaches feasting on the chocolate cake was quite funny initially..

Wh: How come the chocolate cake suddenly looks like it expanded? 

Haha seriously they were of the same colour, moreover it was kinda dark at the rooftop. So, piece of advice to readers: DONT LEAVE YOUR CAKES IN THE OPEN, especially at night and especially at places where there're lots of cracks on the ground!

Let the photos do the talking!


















































Jumpshots that kinda failed that night.




















The Cities Book that I'm holding is my belated birthday gift! Haha was kinda shocked that I still have a present since my bday was alr more than a month ago. Thanks a lot for the book! Havent recieved a present like that ever!:D

--------

On friday, 6 shots + jango + castor went off to JB. Haha we had a interview in the morning to canvass for the camp, well I hope we'll perform well for the event so that we might be part timers there in the future. The pay for such events is quite good I suppose, so no harm working there! Plus, I get free tanning sessions during the beach events day! And to qq, we get to hang out with corporate people from other countries! Haha, interested already right, you might meet your future rich old husband there!

Only left Singapore and headed to JB around 3+ haha. But just in time for a little walk around the newly set up F.O.S where I bought my white bananamoon sneakers! Then, we had seafood dinner which was damn filling as well. Oh well, but I guess I wouldnt be heading down to JB anytime in the near future though. Other than exploring the new custom, there isnt much left to see.. so I'll just stick to the east side!




















The second week of school awaits me. I've no idea but this sem doesnt seem to excite me as much as last sem. Sigh! Oh well, tomorrow will be a better day and that goes out to the rest of you reading this as well! 

Night!(:

INSTEP (Tuesday, January 06, 2009 / 11:38 am)

I want to go overseas too! So many seniors are leaving/have left/have already returned from their overseas exchange! Sounds so cool. Ahh, 6 shots! We gotta buck up this semester so that we can all go together and travel the world together! 

Jia You!

Never gonna be alone (Monday, January 05, 2009 / 9:08 am)

Time, is going by, so much faster than I,
And I'm starting to regret not spending all of here with you.
Now I'm, wondering why, I've kept this bottled inside,
So I'm starting to regret not selling all of it to you.
So if I haven't yet, I've gotta let you know...

You've gotta live every single day,
Like it's the only one, what if tomorrow never comes?
Don't let it slip away,
Could be our only one, you know it's only just begun.
Every single day,
Maybe our only one, what if tomorrow never comes?
Tomorrow never comes...

Time, is going by, so much faster than I,
And I'm starting to regret not telling all of this to you.
So if I haven't yet, I've gotta let you know...

Never gonna be alone!
From this moment on, if you ever feel like letting go,
I won't let you fall.
When all hope is gone, I know that you can carry on.
We're gonna see the world out,
I'll hold you 'til the hurt is gone.

I'm gonna be there always,
I won't be missing a word all day,
I'm gonna be there always,
I won't be missing a word all day.

Nice song up there by Nickelback. Ah, can't believe I spent an hour meddling iTunes only to realised I kinda screwed it up. Shit, I hate my music files to be disorganized. UGH. 

Okay, time to prepare for my first lecture. Goodbye.


School ( / 8:21 am)

Hey there, guess what. School's finally starting.

Not that I've been anticipating school throughout my holidays, but the first day of school has been ringing in my head since the start of december cos I kind of dread it. And today, I woke up at 8am because the thought of not being able to make a cup of coffee, flip the newspapers, turn on the telly and just laze around saddens me. No more waking up at 12noon; freedom reduced drastically by at least half; no more lazing around pondering what to do. Ahh! School's starting! It's finally hitting me.

The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page. (Sunday, January 04, 2009 / 1:22 am)

A child on a farm sees a plane fly by overhead and dreams of a faraway place.
A traveler on the plane sees the farmhouse and dreams of home.

I'm still the child.

As the night sets in. ( / 12:37 am)

Oh boy, I feel like travelling again. I must travel at least once during my next break. A backpacking trip perhaps. I need tons of photos to keep me alive during school term. I survived on a wall full of sydney photos last sem, what about this sem?






The Brooklyn Bridge.

Happy photos on a grumpy day (Saturday, January 03, 2009 / 8:17 pm)

I'm so bored today! I'm mortified at the thought of me being bored just 1 day before school. This is so scary. Schoooool? OHNO! I feel so out of touch with the west all of a sudden. East is where I belong. D:

More photos uploaded by zha:D




















Green's a nice colour.
































Haha wonder what struck us at that point of time.





















The 1950s family portrait that got inspired by xiao niang re, although I dont watch it. Looks like right, our faces.





















Emo shots again except for jerrold. Always acting cute.





















Tanned yizha with a golden glow. So lucky. I want to be tanned as well!D:
















gaygaygay!











Ending this entry with a beautiful photo! :D

Happy 2009! (Friday, January 02, 2009 / 1:28 am)

Finally, after reading two blogs that inspired me to spend the past 2 hours fishing out photos from facebook and my camera, I decided to start blogging to kick start the new 2009! :D
I'll start from the usual people.
Seriously, the best thing that happened to me ever since I entered VJ is TUP. Without you guys, my days in VJ would be lifeless, and my 3day school week would drop to 1 day school week instead haha. I'm so glad we're still so bonded after these 3 years and we MUST make new year's eve our annual gathering. From dawn's to oliver's to my place this year, I must say every year has been terribly exciting. I can vividly recall events that we spent together since 2006. This really spells how important you guys are to me! I'm thankful for everyone's presence in every little gathering that we've organised! Especially the impromptu meetings that took place during mid dec where I met up with jer, yt, sw like 3 times a week or so. Ah, before I get sentimental, let me start blogging first. There's a long list of events to cover.

First of all, the barbeque at my place on new year's eve!:D

Chng Huhu! Haha thanks for being always (95% nowadays) the earliest! Otherwise, I'd have to buy bbq food from sheng shiong all alone. Oh, and thanks for believing that I'll have the highest salary for just being a postwoman! Ha!



Was happily enjoying my face spa for half an hour or so.


Beautiful VJC shot! Reminds me of the VJC shot we did with yeo at melbourne with the sun setting at the horizon. Those were the days...




Retarded emo kids.



Meet the happyman! Haha this entry was inspired by you alright! Honoured not hahaha. Anyway, thanks for always being so wise and brushing off some of your wisdom on me. You and yt nv fail to crack me up I swear. *recalls those nz days and a gazillion other events.. ahhh. Shall not wander into sentimental land too soon. Next..


It's you again! What'sup with bollywood music man! hahaha this shot was inspired by the indians bbq-ing next to us!:D

Yt trying to do story telling again. Unfortunately, she didn't look sad enough.D: HAHA cos she was happy to give happyman away!

The next few shots are a series of one to ten camwhoring shots! scroll down quickly if you arent interested in same head angle, almost similar smiles, but different finger poses. (PS: look at zha with his satay sticks)

ONE!


TWO!


THREE!


FOUR!


FIVE!


SIX!


SEVEN!


EIGHT!


NINE!


TEN!


Zai miss lee with his ultra long hand camerawhoric shot.

And.. most importantly, the main aim of our annual gatherings! Miss Wee Ba Ba Birthday!:D Happy 19th birthday weeba! Shi jiu sui le wor, yao hui xiang le wor! hahahaha, you sound ignorant for the past 18 years. But anyway, I'm your loyal fan alright! Been there since your 16th birthday and still there for your 19th birthday!




At the balcony.

Then.. the camwhoring begins. (YIZHA! Where are the emo shots in your camera! Hurry upload!!)




Emo man. Too bad the sea's a tad too dark.
Version 2.0 of Jerrold's face. TUP, let's master it man! HAHAHAHA.

Poor impersonation. I'll buck up and master it soon! No worries!

We need more practice!




After the bbq and camwhoring session, we headed to play our favourite HTHT game. Guess we were too tired to include point system into the game but nonetheless, it was still quite fun.

Who's most likely to become a serial rapist in the future?
If you were Jerry, who'd you want Tom to be?
If you could stuff mushmallow up someone's nostrils and eat it, who'd that someone be?
Who's most likely to visit a striptease club?
And there was a question that struck me..
Who's life would you want to lead? (thought by the life guru)
...

At that moment, I looked around the circle. I could easily put down more than 2 names, but since the game required 2 names only, I thought for quite sometime before coming to a decision. And in the end, I realised I had the highest votes, which is quite ironic.

I looked around the circle once again, sometimes, I really wish I could lead someone's life instead of mine. Or if I had the choice, I'd rather live my life over again. I guess almost everyone who's reading this entry would probably say otherwise. Why live your life over again? Do you have that many regrets? Yes. Not that I'm pessimistic and suicidal now but I just think that, some mistakes could have been avoided. Yet, I wasn't clear minded at the point in time and somehow succumbed to wrong temptations. Sigh, oh well, one can never be contented with their life. I'm learning to be contented, every second, every day.

Okay, enough of such emowashy stuff. After we played the HTHT game and girls jenga, we went to sleep. In the end, I woke up at 1:20P.M when I'm supposed to meet the usual people at 1:30P.M hahaha. Cabbed down to suntec, shit my new resolution is to avoid cabbing as much as possible. Think that has been on one of my resolutions ever since secondary days. Sigh!


GREEN! Baba's theme for the party. We thought she chose green cos she being the geog student, would want to go green or something. In the end, she just randomly thought of the colour green. tsk. Next year, our theme should be traffic light colour okay! Jerrold will be in purple and white. AHHAHA.



Miss lee! Havent heard from you in months! And the catching up was great despite the background singing and noise lol. Good luck in being a good platoon commander! Let's meet up at Lim Chu Kang one of these days hahahahaha.



SICK! The iPodTouch shows his J1 face when he was in Italy.

Go Green Go!

That sums up the past 2 happy days with the Usual People!

-------

Then, there's 6 Shots! Haha I'm gonna meet you guys again in a few days time! Don't know if I should be excited or not since me meeting you coincides with starting of school, ugh!

That costly dinner at Raffles Marina that cost me 27 bucks to get to Jurong Point. And I had to act pitiful in order to leave the cab without paying 2 bucks.





Scary jumping shots where our souls looked like they were flying out! For once, miao looks like shes on par with all of us in the jumping shot!





New place to camwhore! 6 Shots, 6 people in this shot!:D

Next up, we have the dinner at Hog's Breath on the 30th! Thanks to miao and sann for the planning, video and everything else that made the event so successful! Thanks to the seniors who came down too!:D




Damn suay, 1,2 and 3 are supposed to be good in every game except for this gift exchange event. Damn!!!




--------

This is the first time in years since I spent christmas at home (since I carolled for the past few years), and even placing a christmas tree at home and organising a mini party!:D

















































Cheers!:D




















-----------

The best shopping trip ever at BKK!




















Tango Serviced Apartments rock! I'd definitely recommend you to visit it if you're going to BKK, not in the near future though. Heard there's been a bombing at one of the night clubs.




































































The design's damn modern and sleek right. Miss the hotel service and the decor!!















At one of the many night markets Bangkok offers.




















At the airport! Sis with her new hat she bought for 40baht?















With our barang barang! We only brought along one luggage and left with one luggage + 1 country road bag + one duffel bag + one rainbow plastic bag + 2 huge blue plastic bags!
















O-Mi-Gosh! Our stuff filled up the entire bed! There were more actually, but the bed couldnt fit all D:















Close up!


























































The christmas decor in BKK is much better than Singapore i feel!
















Hehehe. PMX! Thanks for shopping like mad in BKK with me. Let's hope we can go to BKK again this feb before you leave for down under!:D

And the next time I'll meet you again would be your graduation ceremony in Dec! Yay, chance to visit australia again.

Time flies, it's 3:19am now.

For the past few days, I've been thinking of ways to motivate myself to look forward to school. I havent come up with a valid reason yet. Furthermore, my reluctance to return to NTU is exacerbated by the fact that I havent cleaned up my hall; havent collected my books; havent checked out who's in my new class.OMGOMGOMGOMG, so much to be done. Sigh. Oh please, I need a break. Then again, the past month has been really great. And on a happier note, I wanna start off 2009 with a blast!

Happy new year everybody!:D
