Turning 21!

2007-04-29T23:04:00.000+08:00

Gosh I'm getting old but I feel younger than ever! The MacDonald's birthday was a blast =) it was nice having a whole floor for a pte party of about 15 folks. I hope everyone had fun! I most definitely did, was a nice way to end the easter vacation and make a transition back to the real world of mugging like crazy. Anyhow before anyone jumps to conclusions, I originally themed the party 'Forever Young'. But my darling friends decided that PINK would be a better theme instead. Heh i'm not complaining though most of the guys sure were. LOL.

Before I post up pictures, let me do all the thanking!
To my family, thank you for being here for me all these years, there's no way I'd be where I am without the unconditional love and support you all give

To Sharon, Khai and Jan: I love the gift! It really is the prettiest thing ever =) and most definitely something that I'll hold on to dearly, which makes it appearance at all celebrations at my future home, which you all will def be invited to attend!

Sharon, thanks for being such an amazing friend really! Always there when I need someone, and game to try new things and have fun!

Khai, I have known you for eons! even though I'm an old lady now compared to back then, oh wait that means I'm wiser! Well you should take my advice about things really. BUt anyhow thank you for all of yours over the years, and for listening to all the whining.

Jan, where have you been babe? goodness its been ages since we spoke, hope yr well and good!

To Zhiqiang, haha you gave me exactly what I needed. Yes i still drink like a camel so yr lovely waterbottle is very handy indeed

To OiYing, thanks for the birthday wishes! I love talking to you! Reminds me of the good old days where RGS girls had different opinions (read carefully folks, I'm not saying other people don't have any).

To BQ, I'm glad you are all well and better! Catch you when Im back!

To Zhuanghui, thanks for calling! =) I know ive disappered but once tripos is over I shall go seek you out. Here's to a lovely summer!

To the Cam bunch, I love you loads! The gifts are amazing, you all read my mind. Gettng me things I need that I didn't know I did.

to everyone else, love, peace and joy. God Bless one and all

To the movies!

2007-04-05T19:22:00.002+08:00

Yesterday we went to the movies! And ate at Burger King. A big day out for small town folk. Ive now got lovely red gerberas and orange germinis sitting on my study desk smiling happily as shown. I'm smiling happily for 2 reasons today:
1) Ive got a box of strawberry and cream white chocs from Hotel Chocolat!
2) I'm still giggly from seeing so many airbrushed six pacs on screen last night while watching 300. It was just like baywatch. lol

Past lunch, away to the palace we went!

2007-04-03T00:53:00.000+08:00

exam boredom is killing me. the crim laws relating to complicity are far from interesting, i thought yesterday's inchoate offences was way better. i think people who help the commission of offences deserve it anyway, gah.

anyhow ill be off to wuhu china! this july to help manage a teaching camp =) it sounds like one big adventure really, anyhow, girls if u see this before i call u, i wanna meet u all in china after yr mission trip and travel w u before my teaching thing starts! how exciting really

'Strength is the capacity to break a chocolate bar into four pieces with your bare hands and then eat just one of the pieces'
Judith Viorst

'This guy found a bottle on the ocean, and he opened it and out popped a genie, and he gave him three wishes. The guy wished for a million dollars, and poof! There was a million dollars. Then he wished for a convertible, and poof! There was a convertible. And then, he wished he could be irresistible to all women... poof! He turned into a box of chocolates.'

It's not that chocolates are a substitute for love. Love is a substitute for chocolate. Chocolate is, let's face it, far more reliable than a man.....

Walk away (Franz Ferdinand)

2006-03-31T22:10:00.000+08:00

I swapped my innocence for pride
Crushed the end within my stride
Said 'I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaver
I love the sound of you walking away

Mascara bleeds a blackened tear
And I am cold
Yes I'm cold
But not as cold as you are
I love the sound of you walking away

Why don't you walk away?
No buildings will fall down
Why don't you walk away?
No quake will split the ground
Why don't you walk away?
The sun won't swallow the sky
Why don't you walk away?
Statues will not cry

I cannot turn to see those eyes
As apologies may rise
I must be strong and stay an unbeliever
And love the sound of you walking away
Mascara bleeds into my eye
I'm not cold
I am old
At least as old as you are

As you walk away
And as you walk away
My headstone crumbles down
As you walk away
The Hollywood wind's a howl
As you walk away
The Kremlin's falling
As you walk away
Radio 4 is static
As you walk away

The stab of stiletto
On a silent night
Stalin smiles
Hitler laughs
Churchill claps
Mao Tse-Tung
On the back

{bizarre lyrics, but love it all the same.
ever wondered why the people who love you do, in spite of everything you do to them?}
