Be back on the 5th of Sept! :D

Easy

Grocery Shopping Makes Me Happy

It never fails!

Bought healthy stuff! Imagine plain yogurt, wholewheat bread, muesli, olive oil, tuna in brine, and light salted butter and some other stuff I cannot recall atm.

I have been following recaps of Scent of a Women on Dramabeans. The initial premise didn't appeal to me very much, cancer story lines correlates with tonnes of angst but the cute is up on this one, the more you watch read the more you get sucked in. Seriously!

Credit

Oooookay, tell me you didn't find the scene above adorable!

Fine. The more I read, the more I get sucked in. Fair.

Anyway!

Looks like another rather happening week ahead. Got appointments lined up for tomorrow, potential dinner with sailing friends, who-I-don't-remember-being-very-close-with but guess there's no harm in starting to get close now, Pilates on Wed, Bootcamp, mani and pedi and dinner with the girls on Friday. No training over the weekend because tides are too low. So while I was kinda looking forward to clocking in more hours on the water before Thailand, I guess it's a good thing too cause it means I can keep my manicure unharmed for longer.

In the mood for some annoying but effectively amusing entertainment? Click here.

I feel like having some muesli with yogurt now. T___T

Think it's gonna be a book with music and tea night! :D

Apart From "You Got Me Running Running Running Away", I Have No Idea What It Means

But it's awesome!

Don't Make Promises You Cannot Keep

Also, don't speak before you think.

The title was addressed to people in general. The statement above however, was directed to myself. And because my mouth opened before my brains were in gear, I now have to keep to my word.

I am creating my bucket list. Started yesterday. Right now, there are 2 items on it, so far lah. Will figure a way to put it up soon!

Today was shopping day! Happy! But weekend crowds are insane. So draining. Note to self, as long as you're not working yet, skip malls on the weekends.

I think I haven't been drinking enough water.

And for the past week, I have been feeding my body way too much nonsense. Cake for lunch, ice cream for tea, roti bom for supper, char siew pao for bf, chocolates for dinner. #sosobad

So this week on, I am gonna attempt to go on a healthy diet. "Eat foods in its purest form, as best as you can" - advises the friend. I shall try!

I wanna try Pilates, anyone wants to go with me?

I Particularly Like The Last Two Paragraphs

What the House Test Says About You

You are happy with who you are, and you don't have an inflated sense of self importance. You do your own thing quietly. You don't take up a lot of space. You aren't against being community oriented, but it's not really your thing. You tend to prefer to focus on your family and not the neighborhood around you. You are an eccentric and unusual person. You enjoy strange activities... Activities so strange, you should probably keep them to yourself. You look attractive, but mostly because your rely on your natural good looks to get by. You are moved by romance and love. You are optimistic about people, and you love hearing about happy endings.

You Are A Thoughtful Idealist

You are a very romantic person. You can't help but see the world as it should be. Right now, stress occasionally makes you feel trapped in your life.

Your Cute Monster Says Your Inner Demon is Sensitivity

You are a giving, open, loving person. You truly want the world to be a better place. You appreciate what you have in life. You are very content.

The First Rule of Blogthings Is: You Don't Talk About Blogthings

Blogthings said so!

Joy It Is

The Meaning of Your Life is Joy

The purpose of your life is simple: to live it to the fullest. You believe that happiness is a choice, and being happy isn't that hard to figure out. Too many people struggle in their lives. You think they should just let go and enjoy what they've been given. It's easy to find misery, but it's difficult to find happiness. You know that all the happiness you need comes from within.

I Am A Hazelnut

You Are a Hazelnut

You are very unique and distinct. You may even freak some people out. Most people don't really know how to interact with you. You get along best with anyone who is super sweet. But you really do get along with almost anyone. You just need a chance to wow them.

It's Going To Be A Blogthings Week

You Are Decadent Fun

You have an indulgent personality, and you don't mind admitting you have a hedonistic streak. When it's time to let loose, you go all out. You don't even try to restrain yourself. Your friends can count on you to spoil them and pamper them. And you expect a little decadence in return. It hasn't been a good night unless you are totally stuffed, halfway to being bankrupt, and unsure where you'll wake up.

Blogthings: Our Quizzes Weren't Written By Bored 12 Year Olds

For The Longest Time, I Believed Chocolate and Coffee Cannot Go Together

Because Mandy told me so.

This actually is dated back to last year perhaps. When I finally found out that she was only kidding but all the while, I had thought she actually meant it. And I actually refrained from having chocolates and coffee together.

It shall be a good day today because I am going to make it good! :D

I Seem To Have A Lot To Say Today

Sometimes I wonder if I can ever be more private and personal. As in, if I didn't need to share with somebody about every thing I am thinking or say whatever I have in mind.

The next thing I am going to say is going to somewhat contradict what I just said. Sorta kinda. I am in my contradictory mode.

And so. I never thought I had a problem with self disclosure. But now that I think about it, I do in fact, have a huge problem with self disclosure. Particularly towards people who are closer.

I pick and choose what to tell who. Or who to tell what. And when I don't know who to tell what or what to tell who, I freak out. And it all goes haywire. And I just shut down.

That's self disclosure. More like a 'warning' though, to everyone in general. Particularly to the people I care about. That, is something you need to know about me.

And of course, there's also that part of me that's narcissistic... which probably doesn't affect anyone but myself.

Just got back from dinner with Hau Ran. I like eating with you. You're a nice person! When I get my next job dinner is on me. And you cannot argue that because even the boss heard us ah. Have a safe trip tomorrow and be safe always!

I hope tomorrow will be a good day, for more than one reason.

Blabble

Being too fearful stumps growth.

Constantly fearing social judgement. Constantly thinking whether or not we are looking at the same thing, if our end goals are similar. Constantly thinking about what if's and if.. then's. If I am giving too much or taking too much. If I say this, will I hurt or will I cure? If I did that, will I appear to be bad? If I did this, would that make me a good person? If I do it this way, then that might happen. If I do it that way, then this might happen.

Mr Teddy, I used to hug you to sleep, how come you seem so distant and strange now!

Maybe that's why I never grew taller in the first place. Because I am too afraid.

And I am not talking in codes. It's as per the title, it's called blabble, and it is a legit word!

It is only supposed to make sense, to me.

12AM

The very moment signifying a new day.

I was just pondering before bed, as usual, about what's real and what's superficial?

What if all that you thought was real, was in fact, all superficial... All the walls come tumbling down and all that's left is nothing but emptiness, perhaps.

We talked a little about goal setting today, and it occurred to me that I need to make that a priority in my life today, as in like, now. The here and the now.

But now, is bed time.

You say good morning when it's midnight... Am listening to Simple Plan feat Natasha Bedingfield - Jet Lag (y)

There's a French version too! With Marie-Mai! (y)(y)

I should go learn French, sounds nice.

So my now, will be when I wake up in the morning.

A Quickie

Grad photos finally done!

Was | | close to getting the ears pierced today but totally chickened out at the last minute. Kinda goes to show how I'll never have that 9th piercing ever.

Found my next favorite hawker food - Fish Head Noodles. And it's near home! Wonderful! But the portion is ridiculously large.

Wes is back in boarding school. That means, I am back to being 'alone'. Boo.

Did my own nails today. Smudged 2 nails within minutes. Too lazy to redo them already.

Finally had Gong Cha today! Yummms...

Looks like a pretty eventful week ahead. Time to make some changes and have some fun while at that.

Have a great week ahead everyone! Love!

I Love My Girlfriends

That's an understatement. I super love them, is more like it.

That's The Brainy, The Pretty and The Cute. From left to right. Any takers?? I know how bad labeling is but the descriptions are pretty apt, don't you think?! :D

All except The Pretty are single and available, so interested applicants can pm me!

And so today marks another great day in my life history! :)

Another Bipolar Episode

I wish I were more normal.

I ____ you.

a) miss

b) hate

The you there was meant for entirely different people depending on which option is chosen.

Dinner with Mom tonight. Thinking if I should swap the gladiators for heels instead.

I hate bipolar episodes.

Feels like I am a yo-yo.

And Here Is The Picture Of That Rack

Only Hope

Ahlian Bank. That, is never gonna die. Will it, Kevin Saw?? Good for laughs lah at least.

I got my flight tickets for the KT working stint. 13 days in one shot. Of the people I worked with last year, so far none of them are doing it this year, major sadness. I liked who I was working with last year!

Also meaning to say, new faces and new personalities to deal with. I hope whoever they are that they're all gonna be nice people. Otherwise, those 13 days are gonna be not-the-very-nice. Hum..

I also bought my tickets for Sept MR. Means I won't be around for Wes's birthday too. I feel bad.

And Mandy Kok, why do you not reply me?! Are you avoiding me by any chance? :(

So right. This whole I-want-a-new-phone-thingy-but-can't-yet is slowly getting on my nerves. And it is for a really odd reason. Long story short, to convert to a postpaid plan to be entitled the discount for the phone, I need to use up my current credit balance. I shall call Heng every. single. day. and run the risk of getting lectured every. other. day.

Just found out there's no training this weekend.

I should go take my graduation photos already. Gotta call Dad to see if he's free. Now that I am thinking about it, I wonder where I placed my receipt!!

I sincerely hope I'll find that receipt.

Some Scars Take Longer To Heal

* re-edited

*edited

Somebody told me that "scars are wounds that have already healed". So the correct version should be Some Wounds Take Longer To Heal.

Boo, thanks! :)

Hmmmm! So it seems scars can heal too!

Thank you YOU!

It didn't work. The blog settings thing. For a simple reason. I didn't actually save the setting. And now I can't be bothered anymore. Oh whatever.

And my English must be really bad. I am still confused but again, whatever lah.

Some scars take longer to heal or some wounds take longer to heal??

Why is English such a weird language?

GG! Feel like eating ice cream naooo! LOL

Rawr, probably better off going to bed. Oyasumi!

Invisible Mozzies

Feels like the mozzies are constantly around me. But there aren't any to be sighted. Itchy! T___T

Was supposed to look up language classes today. Failed in doing so. But! I am done with my final edition of my resume. So, I am a happy girl! :D

I changed my blog settings (to attempt to make it more private) but I dunno if I did it right. Ha. Did it work?

Yay! I know how to get to Puchong and get home from there already! For me, it is considered a big achievement. *bangga*

Still haven't gotten around to taking the photo of that new rack of mine. But I am really liking it. I shall do so tmr.

I am a lover of life!

Invisible Mozzies please leave me alone.

Of Job Applications

The hardest part of getting a job has to be the resume bit! If there's anything I regret about quitting my previous job, it has to be having to re-write and re-submit resumes all over again.

I like the interviewing stage though, cause they're relatively easier. There's only one and one goal only: Impress.

Looks like it's gonna rain here. So am skipping the run today. Not that I feel like it anyway.

Someone hire me already! Editing resume is so tiring.

Guess Today Really Is The Day

The day that running away, hiding, being ignorant, lazy and not wanting to grow up doesn't work in my favor any longer.

Almost every single conversation I had today, led to the issue of "What are you doing about your life?"

And I am not kidding. 8 out of 10 conversations was about that or touched on that subject at the very least.

Rightly so or wrongly so, I deserve it. So I hereby apologize to the people who had asked me out of sheer concern, but instead had me responded in a non-nice manner. Sorry.

It was just today was a pretty loaded day. With everything and everyone coming in at once. Now that I think about it, is this a plot or what? It can't be that everyone has such perfect timing.

Regardless lah, like I said, I guess it was about time I had it in my face.

I hope I am forgiven for my poor display of attitude today. Can?

Anyways, on to a happier note.

Happy birthday Maxi, in another 40 minutes or so!

My Take On "Trust"

Credit

Just wondering, what does it take for a person to trust another person wholeheartedly?

Doesn't happen very often right? Maybe not at all even. I think when people say "full trust" or "fully trust", that basically just means being ignorant to the core.

My view towards this concept is so flawed, or maybe I am just terribly insecure lah. But whatever.

No point in trusting too much I feel, you're the only one who's gonna end up getting hurt.

Then again, this is my personal point of view..

.. not that I am encouraging people not to trust ah!

Good Evening, Sunday

Hello for the second time today! :D

Training was good-ish. I appreciate it a lot when I was told that I trim the spin pretty alright. I really need to work on my fitness though. Barely 3 hours out on the water with less than 7knots and I feel like my hands are gonna break apart. :(

Had late lunch at Canoodling at BVII with the boys after, funny how I never went to try that place. The food was pretty yummy!

Anyhow. Dad bought me a new rack/ hook which I can hang onto my door, no need for fussy screws and all. I super love it because it helps me organize my stuff and it creates more space. Might upload a photo of it so that you guys can go grab it too. It really is superb, and cheap not to mention!

Just did a facial mask because the much hated pimples are back and my face (though really only my right cheek) looks like it's going through some volcanic activity. Boo.

I am now thinking if I should go snack on some ice cream Mom bought back...

Enough thinking.

Ice cream it is! :D

Hope Sunday was great for you guys and have a fantastic week ahead! <3

Good Morning, Sunday

Sunday is the first day of the week. Though most people treat it as the last.

Anyway, there wasn't a point in that. Lol.

Training again today, I am surprised my body isn't aching after yesterday, then again, yesterday was light wind.

Well, good to burn some fats. And get somewhat fitter.

Have a great start to the week people! <3

A Perfect Reminder, Count On Me

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate waking up before my alarm goes off? I hate it!

Had trouble falling asleep again last night! :(

I wasn't planning to get on the computer first thing in the morning but when I did get up this morning, this was playing on the radio and the lyrics finally sink in despite hearing this song countless times already and I just had to share it.

If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea
I'll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see
I'll be the light to guide you

Find out what we're made of
What we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like one, two, three
I'll be there and I know when I need it
I can count on you like four, three, two
And you'll be there 'cause that's what friends
Are supposed to do, oh yeah, ooh, ooh

If you toss and you turn and you just can't fall asleep
I'll sing a song beside you
And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me
Everyday I will remind you

Find out what we're made of
What we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like one, two, three
I'll be there and I know when I need it
I can count on you like four, three, two
And you'll be there 'cause that's what friends
Are supposed to do, oh yeah, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah

You'll always have my shoulder when you cry
I'll never let go, never say goodbye

You can count on me like one, two, three
I'll be there and I know when I need it
I can count on you like four, three, two
And you'll be there 'cause that's what friends
Are supposed to do, oh yeah, ooh, ooh

You can count on me 'cause I can count on you

Have an awesome possum weekend everyone! <3

Inside Joke

Apparently it is because I am becoming a little too narcissistic for my own good. That's why.

You Are Engaging

You're the type of person who is always on. You are very playful, and you're always looking for new people to challenge and delight you. You are both inquisitive and intellectual. You're curious about the world, and just reading about it won't satisfy you. You can be a bit restless and flighty at times. You move on to the next thing freely and without regrets. You are entertaining and a total charmer. People find you more interesting than you find them.

Who Have You Always Been?

Blogthings: Take a Quiz. Annoy Your Friends.

You Are Good

You have an ethical code that you live by. You think it's important to be a good person. You are idealistic, and you don't really care if your ideals are unrealistic. You are a complex and deep person. There are many layers to who you are. You seek meaning and purpose in every part of your life. An empty life terrifies you.

Stubborn? Easy, Learn Things The Hard Way Loh

A friend once said, Don't play with fire, you'll get burnt eventually.

And what do I do?

I go and play with fire.

And then what happens?

Get burnt loh.

Gah. Stubborn people deserve it sometimes.

Yay, I bought doggie's brush from Daiso. I love Daiso, there's nothing you cannot get from there! :D

It's raining outside so not running today. Let's see if I'll wake up and do double tmr. I highly doubt it but we shall see.

Watching re-runs of Strong Heart is making me crack up big time. Endorphin is good for you though.

I love my optician uncle, he gave me a new glasses case w/o having me to pay for it. So nice! Happy!

Going to stream Strong Heart now! Bye! TGIF tmr! :D

I Hate Maths

But I can count! :P

You have just won, and you, have just lost.

But the question remains and I wonder.

Does it really matter?

I'm Gonna Stay Right Here; Watch You Disappear

Skies are crying
I am watching
Catching teardrops in my hands
Only silence as it's ending, like we never had a chance
Do you have to, make me feel like there is nothing left of me?

[Chorus]
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like i'm made of glass
Like i'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!

[Demi Lovato]
As the smoke clears
I awaken, and untangle you from me
Would it make you, feel better to watch me while I bleed?
All my windows, still are broken
But I'm standing on my feet

[Chorus]
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am

Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!

[Bridge]
Go run, run, run
I'm gonna stay right here
Watch you disappear, yeah
Go run, run, run
Yeah it's a long way down
But I am closer to the clouds up here

[Demi Lovato]
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper, Oh
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground

Like a skyscraper!
Like a skyscraper!

Like a skyscraper!

What an amazing emo song.

Haih, I am mighty tempted to just stay put and not move / go anywhere.

Grow moldy and get fungi-fied.

Oh! It's 11:11pm!

I was going to put a more serious title for this, something like Let's Be Serious or something but so coincidentally the time was 11:11 so, figured it's pretty quirky.

I remember once when I was with my roommate, we were getting ready for bed and I looked at my watch and exclaimed, "Oh it's 12:34, make a wish quickkk!".

I proceeded to make my wish and she just couldn't stop laughing.

I am cute like that, I know. Hee!

It's So Much Easier To Be Happy

They are not banana's; they're moon's.

Insomnia last night!

Still a little scared but life goes on so it's either live in fear, or get over it.

Have a happy happy Tuesday people!
