Girlfriends-filled Tuesday.
I have always loved white flowers.
White roses, white orchids and now I love these white chrysanthemums too!
They’re really gorgeous. ♥
And since no one buys flowers for me anyway, I decided to buy some to make myself happy.
Look at them, they’re so lovely!
Dinner with the girlfriends finally happened today. *grins*
Big thanks to Lianie for organizing.
It is always great meeting up with these ladies – chilling over drinks and catching up over dinner.
It really takes a lot of effort to keep up with our friendships,
especially when they are all busy working and got a lot other commitments in their lives.
But I’m really glad we’re all still so in love with each other! Hahaha!
We had dinner at Marmalade Pantry at ION.
Lianie and Aiyolove wanted Japanese food (again!) but Sinsin & me were too lazy and tired to walk,
so we settled for this instead.
I love those yellow chrysanthemums on each and every table! ♥
Sunday’s Awesomeness.
Sunday with my beloved boyfriend was just perfect.
I love oversleeping on Saturdays mornings.
♥
Sunday Advertorials.
Hello all.
Midst all the partying and fun, I’m here to present the next Sunday Advertorials!
I have 2 blogshops up this week to showcase their new collections.
It’s time to start buying stuff after all the red packets! Heh.
The PUMA Da Mouth Party!
I was proud to be invited to the Puma – Da Mouth party held at 72-13 yesterday.
It was a simple but very exciting event, and I had lots of fun with my friends!
I wore a white singlet and denim shorts with my new (old) buy from flea&easy.
I got the red blazer at a price just slightly over $20, and I’m so so loving it!
It’s loud and I think it looks fab, makes me look like an red packet though.
I was feeling vain.
So I put on those colored contacts as well. Gees! It’s nice to look different sometimes.
A Lovely Love Story.
Buttons bought me this coaster when we just got together.
It is just a small random gift but I love it so much because it sounds like us.
Love you, Buttons! ♥
Random rambles.
This week has truly been a hectic and busy week for me.
I had four quizzes up this week and it’s totally crazy.
But the good thing is, I only have one quiz a day.
That leaves me with more time for revision and stuff, so yeah. Lucky me.
But that said, I’m feeling all relaxed and chill now because my quizzes are all over!
I am actually quite proud of myself.
Because if this were to happen a year ago, I would probably skip 2 quizzes so I won’t be so stressed up.
Prolly fake an MC or something.
But this time round, I attended all my quizzes and actually studied for all four.
I might not be able to do well in my quizzes, but I guess I should be able to pass all four.
I am so proud of myself.
Wee.
It’s recess week this coming week.
And after the recess week, time is going to fly.
It is now Week 7 of the semester. And there are only around 14 weeks in the current semester.
I am already halfway there. I just have to hang in there for the next 7 weeks!
I need to hang in there and make the best out of it. :)
I got to see Buttons yesterday and I’m really happy.
It’s a very hectic and stressful period for him right now with all the writing, deadlines and performances.
The Teng Company will be performing next week,
and they are all really busy rehearsing and preparing for it.
It’s gonna be an awesome performance!
And I have also volunteered to be their official photographer. Hahaha.
(Actually it’s just an excuse for me to practise on my Canon baby)
Not sure when I’ll get to see him again, probably over this weekend?
But he has already told me in advance that he will be very busy catching up with his work,
and he told me to be prepared.
Oh well, I’m fine with anything just as long as I can be around him. :p
Sleepy sleepy Buttons.
I can’t wait for the Puma party tomorrow at 72-13!
It has been quite a long while since I had some good fun with my friends.
And I’ll be able to see Sinsin dear tomorrow, been so long since we last met.
Might be meeting up with Lianie dear and Aiyolove on Sunday as well.
I hope it happens! Heh. ♥
Here are some other random pictures of us.
I’m loving my new Canon!
Woof woof.
Bought white roses for myself! Bad picture. ISO 3200 gives lots of noise.
Anyway, the biggest thing I’m looking forward to as of now is my Phuket trip!
I caught myself strutting up and down my room in my bikini a few times already.
I guess I really can’t wait no more for the Phuket trip.
It’s time to bring my new camera there and camwhore till I drop! :p
The sad thing is that I’m really fat and out of shape now.
Sobs. Even my close friend is calling me pregnant.
Dammit.
The creepy Vietnamese aunty.
Just something random here in this blog entry.
Here’s me when I was out two days ago.
I followed my Mom to her best friend’s place for a party!
Aunty Just and Mom are sweet as ever, I hope my girlfriends and I are still so close decades later!
And here is little Selina, she’s SO adorable!
Her Mom is Thai so she speaks really fluent Thai on top of English and Mandarin.
So awesome! I wanna be able to speak Thai too!
She will grow up to be a real babe! Just look at her now – already so pretty!
Another random picture of Mommy and I.
We look so funky here! :D
Sunday Advertorials.
Hello all, as usual, Sunday Advertorials is here again.
Hope you will enjoy the 5 shops lined up this night for you. :)
What about some accessories?
Hello again girls.
The previous garage sales I did had really great response, so I’m back for more.
One of the readers asked for a sale on my accessories,
so I cleaned up a bit and picked out a few that
I don’t wear anymore/have not wear and probably will never wear.
Check them out and do drop me a comment if you fancy any.
Remember the item goes to the first person who pays.
Thanks!
Why Try To Change Me Now
Saw this one on Sharon Au’s blog.
It’s such a great song, thought I should share it here too.
Why Try To Change Me Now
Fiona Apple
I’m sentimental
So I walk in the rain
I’ve got some habits
That I can’t explain
Could start for the corner
Turn up in Spain
Why try to change me now
I sit and daydream
I’ve got daydreams galore
Cigarette ashes
There they go on the floor
I go away weekends
And leave my keys in the door
But why try to change me now
Why can’t I be more conventional
People talk
People stare
So I try
But that’s not for me
Cuz I can’t see
My kind of crazy world
Go passing me by
So let people wonder
Let ‘em laugh
Let ‘em frown
You know I’ll love you
Till the moon’s upside down
Don’t you remember
I was always your clown
Why try to change me now
Don’t you remember
I was always your clown
Why try to change me
Why try to change me now
An evening of music awaits.
The Teng Company will be performing in the upcoming NUS Arts Festival!
I’ll definitely be there to support these awesome guys, what about you? :D
Holidays are over!
Hello folks, I hope you all had a wonderful Chinese New Year celebration!
But whether you like it or not, the public holidays are over! *wails*
I think my angpow collection this year is quite weak. Emo.
However, the holidays have been really good! :) Especially with Button’s company.
This is the first year that I have his company throughout Chinese New Year and it was really fun.
He had lots of fun hanging out with my family as well, that I’m really glad! Heh.
Here are some random shots I took on my way to school few days ago.
And that’s almost my transport to school almost daily because I always oversleep.
I’m so ashamed of myself. Boo.
Oh and that’s my classmate, Eden. :)
And, my favourite Buttons @ Parkway Parade.
Sunday Advertorials.
Hello there everybody, Happy New Year to all!
Gong Xi Gong Xi.
Hope you guys had a good reunion dinner last night and will have fun for the next few days of New Year!
PUMA + Da Mouth = ♥
I am excited about the new PUMA’s 2010 Spring/Summer Collection!
Other than having the coolest apparels,
they are having an awesome collaboration with “Da Mouth” 大嘴巴 – a hip hop band based in Taiwan!
I like how funky this band is, and I think Aisa is totally adorable!
I’m loving this new collaboration & am really excited about going to the upcoming Puma party!
Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?
I have always had a thing for Snuffleupagus – intrigued by the long lashes and slow-mo blinking motion.
And I have a friend who blinks exactly like Snuffleupagus, well that’s beside the point actually.
The thing is, Buttons just bought me the cutest Snuffy ever!
Now I can hang it on my bag and pretend that I’m in Secondary School all over again. Wee!
♥
I know this post is totally random and even a little retarded, but well,
just to share my lil joy. Hurhur!
I’m gonna wear my new (old) skirt I got from Flea&Easy to school tomorrow.
& I’m thrilled! I love new (old) stuff.
Sunday Advertorials.
Welcome girlies, to your last chance to grab that perfect Valentines’ Day dress!
Lined up this Sunday are 6 awesome blogshops that you will absolutely love.
Dresses, blouses and shoes galore – here we go! Read the rest of this entry »
Bangers with Mash!
I am ill this whole weekend. It was really horrible.
The worse part is, Buttons is ill too.
I hope we’ll both get well again really soon, at least before Chinese New Year please! :x
I received my biker jacket from Fairebelle and I absolutely love it!
It’s chic looking and looks great with almost everything, so glad I got it! :)
I did my nails again at Nails Talk again,
just in time for the upcoming Chinese New Year.
Awesome!
And as you can see, I’m totally hooked to Gossip Girl! ♥
I met up with Khee for dinner few days ago.
It was really nice seeing him! And feel lucky that I manage to catch him during this vacation of his! :)
Sadly, the food at Hand Burger isn’t really that fab to make our night even more awesome.
But that aside, everything was perfect and thanks for your company Khee!
You can check out more of Khee at the The Renegade Boyz!
You Make Me Feel Brand New.
My love
I’ll never find the words, my love
To tell you how I feel, my love
Mere words could not explain
Precious love
You held my life within your hands
Created everything I am
Taught me how to live again
Only you
Cared when I needed a friend
Believed in me through thick and thin
This song is for you
Filled with gratitude and love
God bless you
You make me feel brand new
For God blessed me with you
You make me feel brand new
I sing this song cause you -
Make me feel brand new
My love
Whenever I was insecure
You built me up and made me sure
You gave my pride back to me
Precious friend
With you I’ll always have a friend
You’re someone whom I can depend
To walk a path that sometimes bends
Without you
My life has no meaning or rhyme
Like notes to a song out of time
How can I repay
You for having faith in me
Stress kills creativity.
Tired people are not creative at all, that’s for sure.
I’m boring myself with my boring outfits everyday.
I think I should really start wearing something nicer in an attempt to make my days brighter.
One always feels better when one is dressed to kill, isn’t it?
Life hasn’t really been treating me well lately.
Endless problems and stress from my family, schoolwork,
and I even had a heated arguement with Buttons few days ago.
Oh well, shit happens.
But the good thing is, Buttons and I talked through our problems and we’re all fine now.
It really takes a lot of effort to keep the loving alive.
Even at times when we’re too busy to meet up, we can always count on video calls. :p Read the rest of this entry »
Sunday Advertorials.
Goodnight to all of you out there.
Had some personal issues to see to earlier.
Although I am physically and emotionally drained and jaded now,
I’m still here to deliver the 6 blogshops this week.
Hope you guys love then! Read the rest of this entry »
Nobody said it was easy.
I feel really awful now.
I feel so, so helpless.
Everything doesn’t look good.
I really want to make everything good.
I promised myself that I will work hard.
And I thought I have reached a fair and reasonable compromise with my younger brother.
But I am really disappointed in him.
I really am very, very disappointed.
And if I am already so upset, I cannot imagine how hard it will be for my parents -
how much more tears they have cried and pain they have felt whenever my brother disappoints us.
Sometimes when I want to make it work, I am utterly afraid.
Because I am really very tired and jaded.
I don’t want him to waste all the time and effort that he has put in for the last few years.
But I really don’t understand how should I do it.
And I don’t know what else to do.
I don’t understand him, as much as he doesn’t understand us.
We are really not asking for much.
Respect. Determination. Honesty. And the ability to differentiate right and wrong.
I believe if he wants to do it, he will definitely be able to do it.
In fact for someone as street-smart as him, he can achieve a lot more than what he has now.
All, if he would muster the courage and determination to make a change and put his heart into it.
Dad is not well too.
I went to a friend’s father’s wake last week.
And I felt really sorry for his loss.
We read about deaths and accidents on the newspaper everyday, but until it happens to us,
we’ll never be able to understand the grieve I guess.
Sometimes, I’d imagine what life would be like if my parents are not around anymore.
Just the mere imagination of losing them can leave me teary-eyed.
People always take too long to realize the importance of family.
Friends and lovers come and go, but it’s the family who will stick to you through thick and thin.
They are the ones who would do anything to make sure you are not hungry.
And they are the ones who truly hope that you will do well in life,
and have your own happy family in future as well.
“Blood is thicker than water”, they don’t say this for nothing.
I am not a good writer, sometimes I even have problems trying to express what I want to say.
But all I want to say is, it will never be too late to realize the importance of family.
And it is also never too late to realize our mistakes & to return to the right path.
It is okay to fall down and make mistakes.
The true test is whether you can pick yourself up to try harder.
Philson, if you are reading this, please bear what I told you in mind.
I may not be your best friend and I might not be the person who understands you best.
But I am your sister since 16 years ago and I will always be your sister until we leave this world.
We are all trying to encourage you and we all want the best for you.
Our parents are not the most eloquent people around, they don’t know how to tell you how they feel.
But they are always expressing their love in the most subtle ways -
like making sure you won’t go hungry, making sure you have enough rest before school,
waking you up at 7am every morning when they can actually sleep until noon,
giving you their trust and keep wanting to give you another chance,
keeping each and every birthday card or Mothers’ Day card from you deep in their bedside drawers.
Please do not say that you are not fit to be in this family.
If you are not fit, then no one also will be fit enough to take your place.
Because there is only one Philson and nobody can replace you in our hearts.
We have all tried and did our part to try to help you and encourage you.
But all these effort will go down the drain if you don’t want to make things happen.
Because ultimately, this life is yours.
And where this life will take you to in future, is all dependent on what you do now.
All these may sound far-fetched and distant to you now, but you will soon understand in time.
But you are a smart person & I am certain you will know what you should do now.
It really breaks my heart when you lie to me,
because I want to be the person you can talk to if you have problems.
I want to give you my trust, but you need to earn my trust through your actions.
Don’t bear grudges against your teachers in school or our parents when they scold you.
Like you, we are humans too. We get angry too.
And it is very upsetting and frustrating when you always let us down time after time.
And even more depressing when you choose not to give us your respect.
Like what I said, the best way to take revenge is to do well in school,
and show your teachers, and everyone else, that they were all wrong about you.
Everyone has problems.
And they won’t be called problems if they can be resolved easily.
I didn’t do well in school as well.
And I don’t want you to be on the same path as me because
it really is very lonely if you are still in school after your friends have graduated.
People might laugh at you, look down on you or make fun of you,
but don’t get mad.
Just make sure you do better than those people in life next time.
Then, they will laugh at themselves and look down on themselves the next time they see you again.
Let this be your final lap.
Finish it fast, finish it good.
Whenever you feel like giving up, or feel tired, look at this letter again to encourage yourself.
Look at the comments from other readers if there are any.
I am sure everybody will tell you that it’s never too late to start trying.
Everybody will tell you that family is important.
Everybody will tell you that being respectful to your family is important.
Always remember that you are not alone.
I am also struggling in school and I am also learning to find the courage to face the consequences.
Do your best and try again.
We can graduate together in just a few months’ time.
I am sure our parents will be very happy and proud of us. :)
Treat whatever that has already happened as a nightmare.
Tomorrow is always another new day. Try your best!
P.S. Please don’t lie to me again.
