it's in times like this that i realise how much my family means to me - a sense of guilt
is it worth it?
2 very different people coming together - beauty? or tragedy?
words can't express how i feel
'follow your heart' i heard a whisper. yes, for once jasmine, follow your heart
it shouldn't be this way, it shouldn't feel this way
afraid to express myself at times, for it may cause more complications
after giving so much, after putting in so much, it ain't easy to leave
something not meant to be, holding on prolongs the misery

*comeback*
it's such a pity that this blog has culminated into an avenue for the venting of my frustrations. but then again, i'm not complaining. somehow or rather, i find comfort in expressing myself in strings of words which actually makes no sense if they are separated into individual characters. isn't language marvellous?
well, whoever had such a great impact so as to make me sit in front of my pc, once again, and complete this entry? contrary to what you may think, it's actually, imho, a big fucker.
right. i've been trying real hard not to cuss but this is way beyond me. i. just. cannot. retain. my. composure.
actuallly i have no idea where to start. this person, which i shall affectionately name deluded is the epitome of bitches.
firstly, her conceit deluded her to believe that she's smart. the moment i saw her she couldn't wait to gush with pride which school she was from, what her major was blah. but just in case you didn't realise, my dear girl, yours truly rejected your school, and secondly i'm sorry to inform you that any tom, dick and harry can easily take 2 majors. all you have to do is tell the school you WANT to take up another major. that's all. it's quite a pity you have been living in your own world, but i'm telling you, students from other school have to WORK HARD and only the top few of the cohort are eligible to take up two majors. get the difference?
secondly, she speaks with this weird accent which one of my friends commented 'my maid speaks with this kinda accent too!' it's the try-too-hard-but-sorry-i-still-can't-tell-if-it's-a-british-american-or-whatever-the-flying-fuck-accent you are desperately trying to emulate. i'm telling you this, i despise idiots who aren't proud of their roots. be it those who think not being able to speak mandarin is cool or those who try too hard to speak like they're a bloody foreigner because they think they'll be much superior that way. my take? get real. you obviously have an asian face with asian features, most importantly, you, bloody hell, have yellow skin.
SO LIVE WITH IT.
next, this lil bitch pretended to be so nice to me i seriously fell for it. just because i genuinely tried to be nice doesn't mean you can take advantage of me and manipulate my trust! pretending to be interested in our conversation and thereafter using whatever i say against me is so perfidious. the worst thing is, the bitch, on a few occasions, deliberately said certain things to mislead me into saying things that sounded much more casual than befits the occasion. which, i of course have to take some of the blame. i shouldn't have trusted that lil bitch.
finally, men. yes. men. how can i miss out this category. she was all smiles when she saw a guy. oh puleez, haven't you seen any cuter ones around? are you that deprived? oh i shouldn't have asked, someone of your calibre have to resort to blatantly flirting in order to get the other gender's attention. oh wells, god is fair.
whatever it is, it sure sounds like a winning formula for bitches wannabe. i'm just freaking pissed because this idiot used such underhand means to make people fall for the trap. everyone thinks that you deliberately make me look bad because you feel inferior. come on, why else would anyone in the right mind judge professionalism only by appearance? you obviously have no life, have no idea how to make up etc. but even if you knew how to0 make up, i doubt you will look anywhere near human. you prolly have to pay a visit to a surgeon to and change your face.
also, the next time before you even start to criticize others, take a good look at yourself first. i didn't tell it to the others on that day itself because i was sensitive. i thought having bad breath for a girl is kinda embarrassing, so i kept it to myself. that's why, the next time, before you even complain that people stink of cigarettes, check if your breath stinks first.
alright, i feel so much better.

*contentment*
I think being contented is a virtue. How many of us earthlings can actually walk the talk? We always tell people being contented is important, but how many of us actually practise it?
I'm in a super emo mood now. But I'm glad. Really. Cuz at least I know I'm still human.
Three months into the job. For the entire period, work was always my top priority. Family, boyfriend and friends come after that. I'm tired. Really tired. I need some 'me' time. And I find it very comforting to just stone in my room alone and cry. Throughout this period, there are happy and sad times. Like all jobs, my job comes with the usual goods and bads. For me, I can still say I'm rather positive. But, somehow, things just dont go the way I want it to be. Which, of course is perfectly normal. But when you see people pulling through difficult times, you ask yourself, will I ever pull through this?
I wouldnt say I'm a pessimistic person, but I cant say that I'm optimistic either. Okay I dont know.
One thing for sure, I'm trying to learn to be contented. Be contented with what I have. A contented person is a happy person because deep down inside, she knows that she has got the whole world under her feet. On the contrary, a person who isnt contented with her life will never be happy. Because when she looks back, she'll think, I should have done this/that, even when she has achieved something worth celebrating. And sadly, I have to admit that I fall into this category. Somehow or rather, I find that I constantly try to tell myself that I'm not good enough. In fact, I'm never and will never be good enough. When people congratulate me, I'll think that what I've achieved isnt a great deal, because if it was, I wouldnt have been able to achieve it in the first place. This is seriously ridiculous. Okay I know I'm not making sense but people with the same frequency should understand.
I love my family. I'm really grateful that I was born in this family. I''m grateful to my parents so so so much. They are the only ones who'll stand by me through thick and thin. Everything that I've been through, they are always there to share my joy or sorrow.
I love my boyfriend. Baby if you're reading this, I'd like to say a big thank you to you. Thank you for standing by me. We've made through the one-year mark. Not easy, I would say. For someone like me, being with a same person for more than a year is not easy. In the past, I didnt learn to cherish everything I have, be it loved ones or things. But now, after so many incidents, I've grown up and also learnt to cherish and love the people around me.
I used to be in a mess because I didnt learn to be contented with what I have. I'd say I was once a victim to the-grass-is-always-greener-on-the-other-side-syndrome. Which is sad. This time round, I'm determined not to let it happen again. Ever.

*The grass is always greener on this side*
Oh wells, to hell with the adage "the grass is always greener on the other side". I think this is an excuse to not give it your all, be it in relationships or work. I choose to think that the grass is always greener on this side
How many times have you come across people who tell you:
1) Why didnt i cherish my ex when we were together? I'm beginning to wonder why i chose (the current guy/girl)?
2) My previous job provides me with this/that but how come this supposedly 'better' job feels even more sucky?
The list goes on.
Familiar? Of course, otherwise the word "regret" wouldnt have existed. Actually i feel it's really important to cherish what you have and never look back, no matter what. No one wants to lead a life full of regrets right?
Okay, im sure some of you may be wondering 'what the hell is she talking about??!' but hey, i'm 100% sure i'm not spouting rubbish. soo, try to make some sense outta it!

*moment of truth*
Results will be out like in a day's time. I'm quite anxious actually because if I do relatively well this sem, my overall GPA may just improve and move up to the 2nd upper's range! Haha, okay I wish. I'm serious!
Ya, and I'm up now because I cant get to sleep! I cant quite understand why I'll lose my appetite during the time of the month. Not that I'm complaining! But it's quite bad today because I'm practically surviving on liquids the entire afternoon. I didnt feel hungry at all! I drank a lot of milk because I was feeling dizzy and eventually ate some fishball noodles at like 8pm because I was craving for something savoury. And I'm regretting now. Because I cant get to sleep. Everytime I try to lie down, I can feel puke at the back of my throat. Boo hoo. And so here I am, blogging at 1am in the morning. Sigh.

*update update!*
My blog's definitely in need of some updating I guess. So here goes.
1) Rosemarie went on a month-long break and so therefore here I am, taking care of my two babies and cleaning up my own room. -_- This means, I have to get up latest at 11am (which is so early!) and if I ever go out, be back by like 7.30pm. Why? Because I have to feed them!
I used to think like my maid has got nothing much to do, besides taking care of my beloved darlings. I mean, come on, how hard can cleaning up the room and taking care of two dogs be? But I was hell wrong! It's super duper tiring can!! And I'm only like cleaning up my own room!
My typical day sans Rosemarie: Wake up at 11am - Feed babies - Bathe them every 3 days - Wash some clothes - Clean up my room - Slack (watch dvds, vcds, l word and big brother's house) Haha, yes, I love multitasking so I normally turn on two programmes at once! - Meet baby for dinner - Feed babies - Slack
How boring right? Yawn. I cant wait for her to be back!
2) I celebrated my 22nd birthday with a bbq party! Hmm, I'm not really a fan of bbq food, but I reckon since the last bbq party I attended was more than like what, 5 years ago? A bbq party would be perfect! Alas, the perfect cloudy evening I was hoping for didnt happen. It was threatening to rain the entire afternoon and it did eventually, at like 5.30pm, which was PERFECT. I had to lug the stuff all the way from baby's house to the dumb pit IN THE RAIN! My arms hurt like hell the next day. All the while I was cussing like nobody's business. Like, to-hell-with-all-that-demure-shit kinda cussing haha.
Anyways, back to the dumb weather. I totally love bbq-ing in the rain. It was so bloody fun trying to arrange the charcoal and fire starter thing in the rain. Especially when you just showered and you have non waterproof eyeliner on your face. How cool right? I was super duper pissed, but baby kept assuring that the rain will go away. It did eventually, but not before getting all the benches and all my things wet! Thinking back, I was actually quite lucky because it was only a tiny drizzle. It it were to rain heavily, the whole bbq party would be screwed cuz we didnt manage to get the function room. Oh well, my birthday party was still a blast despite the gloomy weather! I'll upload the pictures soon!
3) Just some random thoughts. I dont understand why there are more and more super LC people in Singapore. Not only are they super low class, they're like ridiculous! Last week baby and I went to cineleisure to catch Made of Honour, and we met this super rude woman who had the cheek to cut our queue and pretend nothing had happened. I cant believe there're are such people around, seriously. Whatever happened to all that courtesy campaign shit? It's people like these that gives Singaporeans a bad name. We've been branded 'kiasu' and all that shit by dumb people who have nothing better to do for ages! A note to these people, come on, open up your eyes next time and look around. Not every Singaporean behaves badly okay?
A more recent incident. I was at an ice-cream shop at Bugis Junction on 1st June and I had to meet this disgusting woman with a fucked up face. She was like the most ridiculous and screwed up person I've seen since forever. Baby and I were in front of the glass display looking at the flavours when she just knocked her fat body onto baby and squeezed in front of us. I was like WTF?! Were we invisible or was she blind?
Baby was like: "eh, why's she like that".
I was super offended by that fugly woman la! So I commented audibly: "because somebody's rude, that's why". She turned around and gave me this dirty look. And then, she whispered to her daughter "crazy woman, anyhow say people rude."
Can you imagine how pissed I was?! I mean like, this fat and fugly woman knocked into him without apologising, cut right in front of us when we're obviously staring into the display. And she had the cheek to call me crazy! What the hell?!
Anyways, we ordered the strawberry cheesecake flavour and the saleslady thought we wanted to try so she took a small amount and passed it to us. Ideclined the offer and thanked her. Not before saying: " we're not as cheapskate as somebody who tries every single flavour." That remark was obviously meant for her but I think her pea sized brain couldnt function quick enough for her to realise that. How sick right? She totally ruined my entire afternoon. I must have been really unlucky to have met such a person. zzz

*Hokkaido II*
I think it's called uni. Sea urchin.Tastes... well, not too bad. I hate sashimi but this one leaves a sweet aftertaste. Everyone said it was super fresh, I don't know. 
This is chutoro. I said I don't eat sashimi, but hell, I love this! One look at it and you can't wait to pop these darlings into your mouth. Not only is it nice, it's damn ex too! Haha about 20 bucks per piece. I think Tatsuya has got very good sashimi too. 
The alaskan crab is how fresh. I don't eat crabs usually, but I ate quite a bit back in Japan.
Everything is super kawaii there.
I love sunsets. Look at the clouds..
Breathtaking..
They have corn potage in vending machines! 
Little pony with a super kawaii plait on its forehead.
When the sakura petals fall off the trees, they tie tiny pieces of colourful candies on the branches as a form of embellishment. 
Button sakura tree
They're so pretty! 
An pan man! 
I can make a postcard out of this! 
The clouds look almost fake
Don't they resemble big fluffy marshmallows? =)
By this time, I've already got sick of eating hotpots. They seriously come with all your three meals everyday zzz. 
Gas station named Jass. How cool is it haha. 
I'd bought this thinking that it was some kit kat beverage, but was super disappointed to find 4 bars of kit kat chocolate inside =( But then again, only the Japanese will sell kit kat chocolate in a vending machine in a yes, glass bottle.
Copper! Not gold.
Crystals!
Gold ore. But it looks damn ugly here lol.
Snow mountain.
Looks like a piece of cow hide from afar no?
Potential postcard =)
Melting snow
I used my finger to leave my name in the snow. Which was of course a dumb idea cuz my index finger literally froze and I thought it was gonna come off. But thank God it didn't =)
Another potential postcard.
Super pretty right? I love taking pictures of the sun if you guys haven't already realise
I'm inclined to think that they're coniferous trees
Frozen lake! Bottom left of this picture
This looks totally Mongolia I swear. Notice how beautiful the clouds are?
Fresh milk from the farm!
I call it the meh-meh carpet
Sheepdog and.. sheeps. Duh
The clouds look super 3D here.
Samurai village
See that hotpot again? Anyway it has the most ridiculous name, only if you understand Hokkien, or maybe if you cuss in all sorts of languages haha. It's called nabei. The other kind with the paper on top is called kaminabei, which, actually sounds worse haha. But don't misunderstand, it's nice. But not when you eat at least twice a day for an entire week. It's just like asking you to eat minced meat noodles three meals a day for an entire week. Sick.
I believe it's some rice field or the like.
Back in Narita airport. I was told Japanese wear only black to work. Which explains why they look like a colony of ants scrambling around in the morning or knock-off time. See the above picture for evidence. Black....
Ramen museum in Yokohama.
Entrance ticket
It was specially designed to replicate ramen stalls in the past.
Looks ordinary. But this bowl of ramen is by far the tastiest I've eaten so far. Slightly better than Sapporo ramen.
I hate the flash. But see my bowl? It's empty! And yes, I wore this jacket deliberately cuz I'm a number one fan of the Japanese team in the World Cup! Although I gotta admit they played like shit in 2006.
Similarity? We have ERP and they have road tax collectors. Difference? They tax is wayy higher. Almost ridiculous. And if you see how many stops the coach has to make due to these tax collection stations, you'd puke. Seriously. But I'm not saying Singapore's any better. Japan's just a little worse.
Dark clouds..
Chinatown in Yokohama. I almost thought I was in Beijing haha.
Panda. I have no idea. Upcoming Olympics maybe? But I love this picture! SO cute!
Their skirts are how short!
Giant baos. They're about the size of Tamme's head. And the price's ridiculous cuz they cost an average of about 6 to 7 bucks. Yes, even the non-meat ones.
Oh I gotta elaborate on this one. We needed the washroom so badly we had to just make do with this one. A whopping 100 Yen person. That's like $1.35 SGD la. Crap. That's by far the most expensive washroom I've visited in my entire life! But they had an explanation for this.. It's supposedly a feng shui toilet. Right, whatever. Anyway, more pictures of this feng shui toilet...
Baby cradle.
Right, the first cubicle.. I don't understand
Second cubicle.. I don't understand too. But I reckon it has got something to do with your career?
I know this! Something to do with money!
Fourth cubicle.. I'm not too sure zzz
This one's about love!

I order macha latte everywhere I go. This is by far the best macha latte I've tasted!
Burberry Blue Label. We were so looking forward to visiting this shop cuz Japan's the only country in the world that has Blue Label. But we're super disappointed cuz nothing caught our eyes zzz. I was like hoping to get a bag that's less common but too bad.

I used my finger to leave my name in the snow. Which was of course a dumb idea cuz my index finger literally froze and I thought it was gonna come off. But thank God it didn't =) 
Another potential postcard.

Narita Airport
Ferris Wheel!
These swiss rolls don't taste as good as they look
Most of the menus you find in Japan are totally in Japanese. I cant understand a shit written here cuz I can't do Kanji.
Boarding pass for the domestic flight! See the square at the bottom right? That's something similar to our bar codes, you can check in on your own with that.
Haneda to Sapporo. 
The toilet bowls there are how cool. The seat warms up when its cold and vice versa. And you've got the bidet and shower button haha.
Cam whoring first thing in the morning!
Seriously, besides ramen, breakfast's the only thing I look forward to everyday. I'm not saying the food's bad, but its just too different from what I'd expected. The ramen from Sapporo's super good though, definitely the best I've tried in my entire life. Actually there's this little stall in Bugis Junction selling Sapporo ramen which I remember was not too bad. I tried it once before I left for Hokkaido but I cant really recall how it tastes like. Soo, I'm going back this weekend to try it again! Haha, will let you people know if I still find it good.
Milk produced from Hokkaido's really out of this world. Which also explains their super good ice-cream!
I have no idea what this is called but I think its 'na dou' in mandarin
Happy after breakfast! But i have no idea why I look super bloated back in Japan.
They have nice parks!
I'm still trying to figure out what the last character is
That person in red destroyed my picture. Like totally.
Some government house
I think the Japanese love tulips! I see tulips everywhere I go!
They come in many colours too...
My attempt at trying to be artistic. Turns out not too bad!
Mandarin ducks
Sakura petals
They're so so so pretty. I was told we're really lucky that we still get to see these beauties cuz it's turning summer soon. The weather's still pretty chilly though, about 2 to 3 degree celcius.
I look pretty stiff here. Must be the weather.
Button sakura
This totally looks like a scene from some Korean drama lol. I wish.
I absolutely dig this picture! Look how alike we are!
Ignore the ugly expression. I morphed into a 3 year old kid playing with the sakura petals! Haha.
Huuuge tentacles!
Alaskan crab!
Look at the Kawaii packaging!
The pigeons aren't afraid of people.
McDonald's. In Japan, they pronounce it as mah-ku-dor-na-ru-do. So if you go round asking for McDonald's, I reckon they wont know what you want. But it's like a mouth full of words. How the hell are you gonna pronounce that?!
Famous ramen street in Susukino Street, Sapporo
Ramen!
Its a wonder why Kinokuniya in Japan kinda resembles that of a supermarket, while its counterpart in Singapore looks way more atas. Hmm
Pigeon feeding!
We visited the Sapporo beer factory and was treated to free flow beer! I actually fell in love with Sapporo Classic, which was only available in Hokkaido.
Sunset
Beautiful scenary
A swan a swan! It's really beautiful
Everywhere you go, you're greeted with scenary like this 
Admiring the sunset, which I totally regret now cuz the UV rays there's damn strong! I think I got a little more tanned only after spending a week there.
Sashimiiiiiiii
Shimeji mushrooms! My number 1 love. 
Kaminabe. Ridiculous name but delicious.
Tea anyone?
Enjoying the morning breeze.
White sakura flowers!
This is an active volcano. Stare hard at the left hand side and you can see the smoke!
A clearer view of the smoking volcano
Alaskan crab legs!
Typical meal, which i got sick of very quickly.
I hate crabs. Which explains why I probably don't enjoy the food-part of this trip as much.
Gotta smile for the camera still!
Mummy dearest!
Let me explain this picture. We were on this tower museum overlooking a star-shaped fort, and this picture was taken because they have this very cool see-through thingy that allows you to see what's below you (9 storeys exactly). You may think it looks ok, but its' freaking scary I tell you. No one really dared to step on it even though we were assured it's 100% safe. But I thought I was really brave to put my pretty sneakers on it, ok, a teeny weeny bit.
He looks so cute I had to snap a picture.
Moo moo cabs anyone?

Blogspot should try to have a function whereby you can upload more than 1 picture at a time. Like facebook perhaps? I don't know.

*Where is the Lurve?*
I'm a huge advocate of animal rights, everyone knows that. So here I am, though a lil late, with this entry dedicated to the poor dog which suffered, and unfortunately died, in the name of art.Well, screw that. What art. You call that art?! For the uninitiated, I'm referring to the Boycott to the presence of Guillermo Vargas "Habacuc" at the Bienal Centroamericana Honduras 2008 petition.
This particular artist tied a stray dog to the art gallery, and called it his masterpiece. Well, nothing wrong with that you may say? READ ON. That artist denied the poor dog food and water thereafter. And yes, as you've guessed, the poor dog died eventually. What's more disturbing was the fact that the bloody art gallery opened it to visitors and those dumb visitors just stood by and watch the dog starve to death.Seriously, whatever happened to civilisation? The whole idea of this dumb exhibition is so disgusting: Watching an animal starve to death and call this whole process ART. Seriously, what the fuck?! Taking a closer look at the pictures, I realised that the title of the dumb exhibition is made of dog keebles! Sick assholes. Who came up with such an idea? Imagine you're that poor dog, denied food and water. And looking up, you see food stuck on the wall. BUT, you have no means to get your hands on them.. I can' t bring myself to go on.And the bloody art gallery is planning to invite the artist to repeat his dumb and cruel ART again this year.
So, please, if you guys share my view or are for animal rights, sign the petition in the link below. It's very simple, you just have to fill in your name and email address that's all.If you do not wish to see history repeat itself, click here: http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?ea6gk

*xiu xiu*
I've been wanting to post an entry regarding this film eversince I watched it. In my opinion, this is the best film about China's cultural revolution yet. I've always been very into China's history, fascinated actually. Here's a short review of the film. By the way, this film is directed by Joan Chen.
This movie takes place in mainland China, near the city of Chengdu during the mid 1970s. A fifteen-year-old girl Wen Xiu (nicknamed Xiu Xiu), an educated girl from the working class from the city of Chengdu, was sent down to the provinces together with 7.5 million other teenagers to be properly "educated" (through hard labor) in service to their country. Her boyfriend, who had political connections, avoided the "re-education". Xiu Xiu then boarded a bus heading to an unknown destination, believing that she will return home after the usual year of service. After an exemplary record on her first assignment, Xiu Xiu was transferred to the Tibetan borderlands to study under the tutelage of Lao Jin, a master horse herder. She learnt horse and yak herding for a few months, as she was promised that her new knowledge would enable her to be later transferred to a prestigious cavalry unit for educated girls.
When she arrived on the Tibetan steppes, in a desolate location far from Chinese culture, she was quite unhappy with her new tent mate - laconic, uneducated Tibetan Lao Jin. Castrated for opposing Chinese domination of his motherland, middle-aged Lao Jin had respectfully entertained other sent-down girls before, and tries to be as gentle as possible, but acid-tongued Wen Xiu did not show Lao Jin respect, a well-known character fault of the arrogant educated class that the Communist Party was obviously trying to correct. Lao proved to be a gentle man who was at home with animals and nature, but uncomfortable around humans. Gradually, he developed a deep affection for the girl under his care, and because he was unable to function sexually, there was no danger that the relationship will become inappropriate.
The months passed, with Xiu Xiu and Lao Jin living in easy communion, but she made no secret of the fact that when her tour of duty was up, she intends to return home to Chengdu. To her, life in isolation was worse than death – it was endurable only for a short time. But six months passed and she was not recalled. Shortly thereafter, a peddler from the city visits Lao Jin and informed Xiu Xiu that the cavalry unit had been disbanded due to a riot among the educated girls. The Party, in short, did not devise an alternative plan for Xiu Xiu, who was thus left in limbo. Although Lao Jin offered to take Wen Xiu to a bus station so that she could return to Chengdu, Wen Xiu replied that without proper approval, such action would result in her death.
The peddler then perfidiously offers to assist Wen Xiu in securing approval for her to go home in exchange for sexual favors, and she lost her virginity. The peddler gave her an apple after that, which she treasured. Thereafter, a series of visitors came, each with an apple to offer. They raped her, at first unwillingly and then willingly, as her desperation turns into hopelessness. All promised results, but none were able to deliver them. And, through all of this, Lao Jin must sit by and watch. He knows that none of the men were sincere, but Xiu Xiu was so blinded by her desire to leave that she could not see what was obvious: she has become a whore, and is being paid with worthless promises. Inevitably, she bears a child, goes to the village hospital, is branded as a whore, and has an abortion. Right after her surgery, some guards came and tried to have their way with her. Lao Jin tried to protect her, but in vain. The ending is brutal and tragic, and transcendent in an unexpectedly lyrical burst of decisiveness.
This is a powerfully haunting film - it might leave you with some deep emotional pains over its human drama or turn you completely off by its obvious political intentions. Xiu Xiu has the bedrock of two superbly-rendered, multidimensional characters. When the film opened, Xiu Xui was an artless, optimistic young girl who faces the future with strength and courage. She was shy and sexually inexperienced, and refused to undress in a situation where Lao Jin might catch her naked. By the time the closing credits roll, the hardships of her ordeal to return home have transformed her into a self-centered manipulator who used sex as both a tool and a weapon. The tragedy is that she's still naïve enough (or perhaps desperate enough) not to realize that she is being used. And, not forgetting the apple. It symbolises her longing to return to the city and also the men's sick and disgusting manipulative tool to deceive the young girl time and time again.
I fell in love with the story. It's just so intriguing. I was so absorbed in throughout the entire 100+ minutes. If you guys wanna know the ending, I strongly urge you to watch it.

i've got this sudden urge to blog. so yeap, here i am. no titles for this post though.
i've been uber busy with 311's case analysis for like the longest time. 311 is shit la seriously. cesim sucks, tutor sucks. okay everything about 311 sucks. now that fyp's finally over, i thought i could relax abit. but i was hell wrong.
i happened to chance upon some of my previous entries. and i have to say it was freaking hilarious. coming to think of it, i was a still a little girl back then. how could anyone possibly blame me for being so ridiculously childish right? lol.
read a quote by Naomi Campbell somewhere. cant exactly remember where. i think it was 8 days? it was something like 'being the world's top model is something that i'm doing for all the blacks in the world' haha, a load of crap. this magazine had to add another marvelous line beneath her quote: we believe strutting down the runway eradicates poverty too. haha, gotta give it up to these people man.
oh yet another quote: "Men will pay 2 bucks (for something worth a buck) for something that they need. Women will pay a buck (for something worth 2 bucks) for something they dont need." laugh people laugh.
hmm, i realise my recent entries are not as interesting as the previous previous ones. well, blame it on school. uploading pictures just takes alot of time. well, perhaps next time. i've got tons of pictures to upload! hmm, besides those from my new year trip to Beijing, i've got another few taken at the National Museum. You guys should seriously make a trip down there before the exhibition of the Greek masterpieces ends. I heard they were like flown in from the Louvre? Not too sure, but it'd be a pity to give this a miss.
okay, i should seriously get back to my case analysis. got a facial appointment later. ciao peeps =)

*Beijing trip part 1*
Happy happy new year peeps~! This has been the best new year so far cuz all of us went to Beijing to celebrate CNY and baby and I celebrated our 1st valentine and our 6 months together! So, in short, a fabulous fabulous start to the year of mickey and minnie.
I've been super duper busy lately. Projects, Fyp, assignments, job applications and stuff. Finally squeezed some time out to upload some of the pics. Enjoy~
Tian An Men Square. I've heard so much about it, and I've been wanting to visit this place for the longest time. I can only use one word to describe the experience - surreal.
Marvelling at the wonderful sight. You actually feel a sense of tranquility when you stand there. Just dont think of what happened two decades ago.
The hand-painted portrait of Chairman Mao. All hail him =)
And oh, I heard he can do the Mona Lisa thingy, whereby you can see him 'staring' at your direction regardless where you stand.
Above all. A popular spot among many Chinese officials, including Chairman Mao himself.
'Wu Men' - First gate after Tian An Men. I didnt know Forbidden City was right behind Tian An Men. I always thought they were like located in two different places. But turns out that they are actually linked, somehow.
Countdown to the olympics - near Tian An Men Square.
Look at the pretty pretty trees behind us! I thought we were very brave, stepping out of the hotel without our coats on. It was a sick negative 10 degs. But you guessed it, as soon as the pictures were taken, we slipped into our coats on high-speed mode haha.
It was freaing cold. The ice didnt melt, I froze.
Incredible. But i doubt it works. Cool handwriting though.
The canal turned into ice. Pretty sight.
The basin at our hotel. I almost brought it home haha.

correct me if i'm wrong, but i remember seeing the first ever talent shows/beauty pageants or what have you not too long ago. it doesnt take much brains to realise these are nothing but gimmick to 'discover' and 'attract' talents. or so they say. well, whatever. its none of my business anyway. but i'd still like to say to these so called talents/pageant queens or whatever the flying fuck - just because you won some dumb contest doesnt mean the whole fucking world is fucking obsessed with you.
well last week when i was out in town, i came across this person (named A), who recently won some pageant. i was in the car with baby, about to make an exit from the cine carpark when A walked towards our car. I noticed from the corner of my eye A was staring at me. i turned to look at A but looked away almost immediately. there was a jam so our car was stuck there for the longest time, but anyways i turned again and A was still staring at me. like hello, you'd know it when someone's staring at you right? ya and back to A, when A saw me turn for the second time, A gave me this screwed up iknowimfamousandyouthinkimhot look. i wasnt being too sensitive okay, i can tell between a casual glance from a stranger and a desperateforfame look. anyways, i dont know how the fuck you won but judging from the number of pageants you entered, i can tell how desperate you are to be famous. but i dont give a shite alright?
then again, im not discriminating against those who take part in such contests. in fact, i admire and respect you for your courage cuz you're putting yourself there for people to criticise and that's something not many people can do. but please, please understand that most of these dumb contests are rigged.

*brandy - have you ever*
Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever
Have you ever been in love
Been in love so bad
You'd do anything to make them understand
Have you ever had someone steal your heart away
You'd give anything to make them feel the same
Have you ever searched for the words to get you in their heart
But you don't know what to say
And you don't know where to start
Have you ever found the one
You've dreamed of all of your life
You'd do just about anything to look into their eyes
Have you finally found the one you've given your heart to
Only to find that one won't give their heart to you
Have you ever closed your eyes and
Dreamed that they were there
And all you can do is wait for the day when they will care
What do I got to do to get you in my arms baby
What do I got to say to get to your heart
To make you understand how I need you next to me
Gotta get you in my world
'Cuz baby I can't sleep
Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right
Have you ever, have you ever
Have you ever been in love
Been in love so bad
You'd do anything to make them understand
Have you ever had someone steal your heart away
You'd give anything to make them feel the same
Have you ever searched for the words to get you in their heart
But you don't know what to say
And you don't know where to start
Have you ever found the one
You've dreamed of all of your life
You'd do just about anything to look into their eyes
Have you finally found the one you've given your heart to
Only to find that one won't give their heart to you
Have you ever closed your eyes and
Dreamed that they were there
And all you can do is wait for the day when they will care
What do I got to do to get you in my arms baby
What do I got to say to get to your heart
To make you understand how I need you next to me
Gotta get you in my world
'Cuz baby I can't sleep
*looking back*
it's been quite some time since i last blogged. well you could say the past two weeks have been quite blah. but i'm not complaining.
life's short. how short i dont know. all i know is that we only learn to cherish everything we have either when we've lost precious ones or when something terrible happens. this year, cordon's departure shook me badly. but we have to come to terms with what's happened. no use crying over spilt milk. all i can do now is learn to cherish everyone and everything i have. each day is a gift.
Life can show no mercy
It can tear your soul apart
It can make you feel like you've gone crazy
But you're not
Things have seem to changed
There's one thing that's still the same
In my heart you have remained
____________________________________________________________________________________
When i'm feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
And I know i'll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead
____________________________________________________________________________________
Maybe we're trying
Trying too hard
Maybe we're torn apart
Maybe the timing
Is beating our hearts
We're empty
There's a reason why they say that we should give it time
But time is not enough
And that's the reason why when you're young you fall in love

this is what's gonna happen when i've got nothing better to do - i FLOOD my own blog with random posts like this. these few days my mood has been as erratic as the weather - sunny one moment, dark and gloomy the next second. ahh, what can i say. if you happen to be a victim of my next bitch fit, i tell you: BLAME THE WEATHER! *grin*
right. are you a fan of tabasco? cuz i am. last friday i went to marina for dinner and i saw this huuugee bottle of tabasco! compare it to the usual ones we see, this one's gigantic! here's the evidence.
uber big bottle
it was supposed to be 'seafood basket' but i call it the 'seafood bucket' =)
tamme got a lil grooming yesterday, courtesy of my maid. he's now half his usual size sans the fur lol. back to being my cute little boy =)
christmas' around the corner. i'm so excited cuz this is our first christmas together!
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?
Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?

i'm bored. this is becoming ridiculous. before exams i was like 'hell yea. i'd rather bore myself to death doing nothing than to bury myself in books.' now that my dream has come true, i'm complaining bout it. zzz.

gemini + cancer
gemini + cancer
When Gemini and Cancer come together in a love affair, it may be a rather curious relationship. Sensitive, emotional Cancer has trouble communicating clearly, but clear communication is what defines Gemini. Gemini's chivalrous nature and silver tongue may encourage the Crab to come out of its shell more quickly than usual; Cancer, in turn, can teach Gemini to slow down and appreciate the world, which the frenetic Twins hardly ever take time to do. If Gemini seems to ignore Cancer or doesn't provide them with as much reassurance and intimacy as Cancer needs, trouble may ensue. These two Signs approach the world in such different manners that they must be able to understand and accept one another's differences.
Cancer is the Sign of home and hearth, while Gemini is the thinker. Gemini can easily slip into the role of Cancer's knight in shining armor; Cancer returns that favor with their characteristic urge to protect the ones they love. Quality of home life is important to Cancer, and Gemini will be spoiled by their Cancer lover's hearty home cooking, soft bed and other creature comforts. Cancer is strongly intuitive and maintains an almost psychic connection with their loved ones, but can tend toward possessiveness and idealization of their Gemini partner. If Gemini just reassures Cancer that they're loved and cherished, all will go smoothly.
Gemini is ruled by the Planet Mercury (Communication) and Cancer is ruled by the Moon (Emotions). Cancer tends to keep their emotions bottled up inside as they have trouble expressing themselves. They envy Geminis their gift of open, clear communication afforded by the influence of Mercury. Gemini, in turn, can benefit from Cancer's intuitive approach, so different from Gemini's bubbly, surface nature; Cancer can teach Gemini to slow down and appreciate life instead of passing by the good things in their rush to get to the next new thing.
Gemini is an Air Sign and Cancer is a Water Sign. If these two Signs can work together they can be a great team; after all, the best decisions are made by incorporating the emotions and the intellect. The trouble for these two lies in learning to cooperate. They come from such opposite points of view that at times it can seem as if they simply have nothing in common. Deep, emotional Cancer can also sometimes dampen Gemini's airy enthusiasm, and light, fast-paced Gemini can leave Cancer feeling ruffled, even tattered. Balance can be achieved if they learn to talk openly with one another.

Balance can be achieved if they learn to talk openly with one another.
Gemini is a Mutable Sign and Cancer is a Cardinal Signs. Gemini is flexible, willing to go with the flow and follow another's lead; Cancer is an initiator and likes to provide that lead. Gemini may try to lead by being brave, even confrontational; for it to run smoothly between these two, they both need to learn when to back down and let the other lead the way.
What's the best aspect of the Gemini-Cancer relationship? Once they realize they're allies, they can soar to great heights together. Gemini is always thinking ahead and Cancer is quietly supporting these ideas behind the scenes. Each partner's ability to provide what the other is lacking makes theirs a fulfilling relationship.
i cant think of a title for this post cuz its gonna be a random one. so, yea.
went shopping with mum and dad at PS yesterday. bad idea cuz I CANT FIND ANYTHING TO BUY THERE! alright, except some groceries and stuff. oh, groceries. yes, i'm quite a huge advocate for the BYOB (bring your own bag) thingy. but then again, when you're out shopping with your family and you buy hundreds of dollars of stuff, how the hell are you gonna bring enough bags and then lug then home? okay i know about the car thing, but still, imagine yourself carrying.. like 10 bags. -_-
okay never mind bout the BYOB campaign. i finally, finally, finally switched my analogue set top box to the digital one. and my tv's permanently tuned to channel 80 (E! entertainment). surprise! not. i see myself staying at home for the next few days. *grins*

*jinxed*
i promised i wont talk about the incident anymore, but i didnt say i wont vent my frustrations here. before i start, i'd like to apologise for being crude. right, so here goes.
FUCK YOU, CHEAPSKATE. I HOPE YOU BURN IN HELL!
pardon my limited vocab, but i'll try my best to describe you in a way that befits you best. you're the worst, fucked up faggot i've ever seen in my entire 21 years on this planet. so, congrats, mofo. coming to think of it, its how derogatory to use the term faggot on you.
and oh, your revolting, fucked up face shows just how desperate you are for money, you SOB. i really wonder why did i even bother to argue with a low down rat like you. i seriously have no wish to associate myself with low class creatures.
hmm, it suddenly dawned on me that two disgusting people DO END UP TOGETHER. that's how it works isnt it? i've seen one perfect example already, you're the next one. what a perfect world this is. *grins*

*soulmate*
Incompatible, it don't matter though
'cos someone's bound to hear my cry
Speak out if you do
you're not easy to find
Is it possible Mr. Loveable
is already in my life?
right in front of me
or maybe you're in disguise
Who doesn't long for someone to hold
who knows how to love you without being told
somebody tell me why I'm on my own
if there's a soulmate for everyone
Here we are again, circles never end
how do I find the perfect fit
there's enough for everyone
but I'm still waiting in line
Who doesn't long for someone to hold
who knows how to love you without being told
somebody tell me why I'm on my own
somebody tell me why I'm on my own
if there's a soulmate for everyone
If there's a soulmate for everyone
Most relationships seem so transitory
They're all good but not the permanent one
Who doesn't long for someone to hold
who knows how to love you without being told
somebody tell me why I'm on my own
if there's a soulmate for everyone

well, i stumbled upon someone's blog. someone i dont even regard as acquaintance. well, call it fate.
i didnt expect this. really.
i guess i've misunderstood you?
well it's not called the past for nothing. "just let go, and things will be fine."
i need assurance.

*unpredictables of life*
well for once, i shall stop running away from the inevitibles in life.
well, life is indeed unpredictable. the most unthinkable can happen. i'm a perfect example =)
you know, i believe everyone has gone through a phase in their life whereby they wished never happened? or well, not that drastic. for me, im quite extreme. i used to be ashamed. yes. you got that right. i would cringe whenever someone mention anything related to it. yes. it. well, i'm not exactly sure of the reasons. but that phase in my life was definitely something i wish i could erase entirely. because all it was full of bad memories. which, i could seriously do without. so for a long period of time. i chose to have selective amnesia. and thankfully, it worked. believe it or not, i'm really happy for it. there wasnt even a tinge of unhappiness when i knew of the deception. i guess i've outgrown that stage. something i didnt expect to happen that soon. haha.
i'm glad it found happiness =) but i'm definitely not complaining about the status quo. cuz i definitely hate to be surrounded by devious beings. i was so appalled, you could say it was revolting. but like typical melodramas, full of unnecessary emotions, accompanied by tears, things end the stereotypical way. the meanies will get their just deserts. its only a matter of time..

to hell with this counting down shit.

as you can see. i'm in a happy mood. haha. i cant wait for next thursday! whee~
i dont mean to whine, seriously. but i have this bloody ethics lecture tomorrow. YES. on a SATURDAY. how disgusting. *puke* nevermind that it's on a saturday. it starts at 10am and ends at 3.30pm! oh god. by the time i get home and stuff, more than half a day is GONE. yes. GONE.
it's so shitty. i'm getting a headache.
i re did my slides for 218. like thanks. presentation's next thur. why thursday?? i wanted to skip class! zzz.
i'm getting kinda sick of blogging actually haha. but i guess its due to the fact that i lead an uber boring life. so nothing interesting to share. no wait. the reason why i think i have no life is probably because i've kinda lost interest in lotsa things? quite listless lately. arghh. must be the stress. must be the stress. hmm. okay i know im not making sense. lol.
the days feel like years when i'm alone..
