28 July 2010, Wednesday

but I'm totally loving it. Just look at the camaraderie of all those singers! It made me go "aww..." man. Reminds me of my old choir days which I would have very much enjoyed it more if I had better company and more action. I was active for the first year, before Red Cross came. Still remember the teacher giving me advice before I left the school for good; something about having (ahem) a good voice and hoping that I would continue to let music fill my life.

Organisations (locally and overseas) really made good use of music to raise funds for various causes. How can one not be stirred to contribute something after hearing songs being sung like that? It's immediately "aww... aww... ohmygod so nice... ok I will donate."

And cha-ching! Hopefully the donations really went to Haiti.

And this is the original recording of the song for Africa 25 years ago. Also got feel~ If you watched both videos, you'll notice that for the first recording, the artistes have to share the microphones (if that's what they're called). While for the recording done this year, the artistes seem to have their own studio recording space and microphones, despite the fact that the number of artistes involved had doubled.

It may not be a funny thing to you. But when I noticed that, I just want to laugh. Just so you know. :)

Cause sometimes the things that I find very funny and start to laugh, the people beside me may not feel so. And I'll end up laughing by myself... :)

Travel Bug

2010-01-08T14:38:00.002+08:00

I'm REALLY REALLY HAPPY for my friends who went to travel recently. I think the best thing we can do in this world is to travel and see the world itself.

I went to China twice,

to Thailand twice,

to Bali twice,

to Malaysia several times,

and back and forth Singapore and Jakarta countless times.

I'm greedy for more!

And although I'm happy too for people who can travel with their parents' sponsorships (so far that is how i managed to travel), I really wish I could use my hard-saved / hard-earned money to travel myself.

In the near future, there are 3 places that I hope I can go~

1. Korea

2. Hokkaido (Strawberry farm)

3. Taiwan

2009-12-03T15:50:00.005+08:00

I could have used the time

BUT,

I am in school,

not doing anything after consultation,

but drawing,

Yet cannot go msn

I don't know why?

Come fly with me,

let's fly, let's fly,

Me: Yeah. Hello.

Duck: Quack Quaack??

Me: I'm good. How about you?

Duck: Quuack! Quu.. Quack Quack Qua.. Quack??

Me: Well, nothing much really. Just a little bit of dreading school and too much of wanting to be at another place instead. By the way, its the start of the planning of another whole new gradshow here.

Duck: Quuu.. Quack Quackk! Quack-Quaaa? Quack Quack Qua Quack!!

Me: Aww no Ducky, I'm not excited at all. Just gonna sit back and watch everything unfold itself again. I bet it's not gonna be anywhere half as fun as Birth anyway. I shall do my own thangg! Now that's exciting.

Duck: Quaack! Qu-Quacck Quack!

Me: Yeah, that's awesome of you. Christmas is coming too, then 2010 will come very soon after. Can't wait. Any presents for you?

Duck: Qua-Qua-Qua! Quu... Quack! Quuacckk!! Qu-Quuu!

Me: Haha! Waterproof stockings? You're hilarious Ducky. Alright then, waterproof stockings for Ducky, check.

Duck: Quack!! Quack Quaack!

Me: You're welcome. I have to go, there are ideas for paper promotion that i have to think about amongst many other things. Let me know if you have any ideas?

Duck: Quuack Quaack! Quu Quack Quaack Quuu~~

Heidi's 20th

2009-10-07T10:06:00.003+08:00

I have never went to a birthday party where the birthday boy or girl cooks for the guests. Thanks for your invitation Heidi!~ I think it is one of my best dinners.

Heidi is one of the assistant chefs at Glace. She just completed the patisserie course at Le Cordon Bleu de Sydney before she came to Glace. And she enjoys cooking. She can cook up things like (below) salad spaghetti, maki sushi, honey mustard baked chicken and sweet sour prawns. And she's 20 years old this year.

And I'm like, 20 this year too?

And what can I cook?

Ahaha blaaa.....

I found out that bacon-wrapped asparagus is delicious. And Heidi's food is really really good. I'm a happy eater!~

Glace's ideal team. The camaraderie that we have, - awesome. And here comes the most beautiful thing in the party other than Heidi and her food and her dog ---------

Chef Yamashita's cake for Heidi!

While we were sitting and chatting at the front 'yard' of Heidi's house, Grace, Ah Jie and Wei Loon talked about their life at 20. Since Heidi and I are experiencing our 20 at present, we just let our ears do the listening.

Then I was thinking, what am I doing at 20?

I haven't gone to the school I wanted.

I haven't learned the things that I yearned to.

I haven't gone traveling alone.

I haven't done so many, many things.

But then again,

I have went to the course I wanted.

I have learned the things I didn't expect to.

I have taken the aeroplane alone.

I have done rather many things.

But it's not enough...

HAPPY SWEET BIRTHDAY DEAR HEIDI!

No, I'm not working at a cake shop. I'm just there for fun.

Btw, there's no dine in. Yay!

It hasn't been very long. But I miss the good old days. I miss the good old (gone) studio, the good old (still alive and kicking!) people, the good old (only in my memory) laughter.

Gone were the days I felt there was another place I could call home.

But if I could choose, I wouldn't turn back time. I'm gonna look forward; for somewhere out there is a place where I will no longer be floating in the air..

Oh gosh, what have I gotten myself into.

I don't want all those awkwardness, and I need a better sense of judgement. T.T

p.s 오빠,안녕!

and thanks vvn for teaching me korean!~

and everything else korean!

Love Ain't Easy

2009-09-01T15:14:00.002+08:00

Love ain't easy. Hence I think.. brave people fall in love. And truly brave people truly fall in love.

You may have just gotten into a relationship..

or you are on your way into a relationship..

or you may have just got out of a relationship..

or you are on your way to get out of a relationship..

or you are still in the same relationship..

or you have gotten out and gotten back in the same relationship..

Whatever it is, if you had been, or are in any of the positions mentioned.. you were once brave, or you are brave. I was once brave. :)

So you, you, and you, and myself, we must aja aja fighting! And be brave yea.~

"Happiness lies ahead of you. If you only look back, you will never be happy."

Ohmy..

2009-08-30T01:18:00.002+08:00

Why are there so many conflicts everywhere...

It's brainwashing and wasting life and creates misunderstanding. And it ends up with fake unhappy grumpy people.

See, because of such things happening, I created a complain post.

And it's made me scared of making friends now..

Adduhhhh

Random

2009-08-10T00:32:00.005+08:00

I wasn't planning to create another post anytime soon but out of boredom i just clicked on the 'New Post' - and voila! - Blogger is remarkably normal. No missing buttons, weird alignments. (This problem is apparently due to Singnet users - and so far the problem is only solved for ie and firefox).

I'm not bothered by it much, but since it is normal at the time when i am typing this, i just decided to upload a random picture.

SO!

*Props a book open*

"Once upon a time, when everyone around her seems to have gone high tech and owns a personal space online called BLOG, a stubborn girl remains stubborn and insists that blogs create little but troubles (due to witnessing blog-to-blog dramas).

Therefore, for many years since the revolution of internet up till last year in 2008, nothing has given her a reason to set up a blog, just like the rest of mankind.

Nothing, up till when a lazy afternoon arrives in 5 November, 2008.

It was a sunny day outside. All afternoon only one thing had crossed the girl's mind; I am soo bored.

Now, this boredom was very unlike previous boredom she experienced. If not things might have happened earlier. This particular boredom - lets call it The Ultimate Boredom - contained soo much boredom, that it gave her a reason to do something that she never gave any thought to for years - that is, to create a blog.

And so the girl created a blog for the first time (or so she thought), and thought, Now I need to name the blog, sheesh. How uninteresting.

For a long time nothing hits. She decided to just forget it and starts to slide down the chair she was sitting on, tilting her head up to stare at the ceiling. Her common asian eyes were darting vertically up halfway when something along the track pauses the motion.

This was what she saw:

Oh yes, the HSM3 postcards are either childishly unappealing to a certain crowd, or they can be inspiringly must-put-ups to another audience like the girl. So there it is!

Good thing the biggest poster on the left is in red, even if it is a little faded, if not she could have totally missed it. Then she climbed on the chair, peeled the top half of the Canon newspaper cutout, and read The Natural Cause of Things.

TADAH!

And the lazy afternoon ended with a lazy way for the girl to find a name for a new blog.

And the girl realized boredom can lead to new things. Not just boredom. But,

The Ultimate Boredom. (dooms)

- The (Lazy) End - "

*Shuts book promptly*

2009-08-02T00:14:00.002+08:00

It's been a long time since we took pictures like this! I think i can compile a full album for just the two of us loh. haha.

Lucky me saw Pierre Png's back. Luckier Fenni saw his full face. I half bet she dreamt of him that night. hehe!

p/s: Vvn taught me a korean word - "Chalja". It means "Sleep Well".

All dreamers, CHALJA~!

A dream..

2009-07-26T01:15:00.015+08:00

A few days ago i dreamt of a house. (see above)

I think someone was showing me the way in. The house felt so comfortable, as if it were mine. I think it was supposed to be mine, hehe. And the dream was so vivid, when i woke up i could remember everything. (Those parts where i managed to draw out at least). It was a miracle! Because of all the dreams i've had during my subconscious state, i could remember like.. 10 percent of them. So its equivalent to remembering 1 out of every 10 dreams. This is the one out of my next 10 dreams. (Remembering Jiro hugging me was the one out of my last 10 dreams). Heees.

I was so so so so curious y'know?

... Why did i dream of this house?

My first theory was that i've been ogling at countless beautiful and inspiring houses since the start of this year. My subconscious mind has had it - its fed up with me! And it has decided to grant me a visual of my own house - my home.

Mind: "Tadah! There u go! Happy now?!"

Yea! Happy.. but i still went to dreammoods.com anyway where they can help you to interpret your dreams. But you must be very general in your search. You can't type like,

'Jiro the taiwanese star hugged me in my dream'

instead, just something short and general like,

'Hug' or 'Man'

So after typing 'House', they gave me 2 closest interpretations.

Interpretation 1

To see a house in your dream, represents your own soul and self.

Interpretation 2

To see a new house in your dream , indicates that you are taking on a new identity and developing new strengths. You are trying to be more emotionally mature about things.

QUITE ACCURATE!

(and a little scary)

According to the website, Acquiring the ability to interpret your dreams is a powerful tool; and In analyzing your dreams, you can learn about your deep secrets and hidden feelings.

DEEP SECRETS AND HIDDEN FEELINGS!

(ooooooo~)

This week was fun!

2009-07-24T17:44:00.011+08:00

Thanks to SP, we got free entries to Lunar! Hehe. I'm waiting to see you on teevee girl. Be strong, ok. Aja, Aja, Fighting!

Vvn convinced me that mam and pap bought the right condo. She kept saying, "Oh my god~ so nice!" haha. I'm so inspired to go swim every week.

btw, these were taken by her trusty camera.

Aha! Kim Sam Soon was there! I was at the toilet. Hhuuuuuu

Actually she really looks very act cute here.

HPATHBL is AWESOMEE!

2009-07-16T23:43:00.004+08:00

Yay Yay Yay~ I watched it already~ I watched it already~ *Dance like Kim Sam Soon*

There's so much more humor for this installment. The director of photography is a genius. Hermione is beautiful. Ron is so hilarious I wish he was my best friend. Harry is getting more serious. I want to be a British for 9 months. I want to go to London.

These few days I feel so nothing-to-do till I feel like blogging and blogging. My hands are so impatient they want to keep typing and typing and typing and typing..

I just started school for the second week but it doesn't feel like school at all. I don't have classes everyday, the design studio is nothing like Hive and I'm still trying hard not to isolate myself from new people. Even went mambo with Apb and Vvn on a school night. I feel rebellious! ha! Somehow my new classmate who happen to be Daryl Dino's friend can tell that I miss DCMD.

Maybe this isn't the right move. Maybe I should get a job first. Or maybe I should venture overseas to study too. I have the same worries as u apb, what will happen when my closest friends slowly start to move on with their new phase of lives? Keeping in touch with friends is the so important thing that I am failing at.. just because technology is not my favorite thing. And just because I am the most boring person I should get kicked out of the planet and out of outer space. It's true. It's so unfair. I want my friends too.

I'm sorry for vomiting these negative things out. I promise to be myself soon. I'm such a lousy person these days. :(

Thank goodness I still have a darling. Love yaa!

Hey hey hey..

2009-07-14T22:39:00.007+08:00

How did I dreamt of him..

hugging me??

Oh my dang dong.. such a FANTASY! hohohaha.

2009-07-11T23:41:00.002+08:00

I think i will never forget this particular lunch at campus with Vvn.

It's one of the coolest and bravest thing i've seen a friend do - bleach the hair!

According to experience, my emotions are hardly stirred. Calm as the ocean.

Suddenly, I saw her, and a tsunami came.

You're my idol!

2009-07-10T22:40:00.003+08:00

It's the fifth day of school today. And i still have no desire to write anything about it.

Maybe i'll write a little..:
Reinar is a great speaker. I hardly need to restraint myself from droopy eyelids. I wonder if he will be teaching Imelda and Charmaine when he returns to Melbourne?

and I'm so happy to see or spot people whom i already know before i enter campus, in campus! Whether or not I talked to the person.. a familiar face is more often than not welcome. :)

10 Things to Like

2009-07-08T00:01:00.017+08:00

Some time ago and recently I saw the pattern of people expressing what they love, like, "10 Things To Love" and stuff. So I got itchy, and I wanted to express what I love too! I'm so human. But instead of "10 Things to Love", I think i'll start with a lighter "10 Things to Like" instead. Just to try and see if i can manage to squeeze 10 things out, at the very least.

1. Sour Sally - U.S Premum Frozen Yoghurt - Product of Indonesia

Umm, yummy! I'm not a big fan of froyo but this is oh-so-heavenly-good.

p.s. SP, I must bring you to eat this! The best thing is, it is currently only available in Indo, so its gonna be an exclusive treat! Hees.

2. Perfect Satin Ribbons

Thanks to Ami-chan, I've mastered the art of ribbon tying! *punch fists in the air like i'm a champion* From now onwards i'm tying a gorgeous ribbon to every birthday present!

p.s. It's nothing like shoe-lace tying if you're going "*blink* *blink* er.. ribbons?.. stef?"

3. Desert Tables by Amy Atlas

These are really a genius's work of art. I don't think i'll bear to land a finger on anything cause its just too beautiful; its like stepping into a gallery.

4. Glitter fonts by Marian Bantjes

5. Fragrance 'Pretty' by Elizabeth Arden

The poster, i mean. On second look, maybe its just okay. I'm not attracted to pretty stuff anymore. Never been. It's always beautiful stuff..

6. Shelter by the seaside

As seen by Park and Cube. This is so quirky and out of place but it just seems right. I wish I could transport it home and turn it into my personal reading space. Imagine it with lots of pillows and shelves of books.. I'll go dream about it tonight..

7. The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K Rowling

She is still Number One on my favorite authors' list! Though the list is not very long hm. And I haven't even started peeling the plastic off the book, but i like it already. Talk about prejudice.

8. Chloe - Spring 2009 Ready-To-Wear Collection

I'm not a big fan of fashion shows too, but I thought those ruffles at the rims of the clothing are so cutee. They remind me of Master-san's tart bases.

p.s. I can't seem to insert the special e into the Chlo-e. That's awful. I'm so sorry to the brand.

9. Dresses

If I manage to keep my bank account nice and alive, I'm going to stock up on dresses, mama. They really don't come cheap. :( The Sartorialist always takes such beautiful pictures of people, I bet they are better to look at than reality.

10. The Almost-Perfect Kitchen

Holy heaven! That is so close to my dream kitchen! Would the designer please stand up so that I can take your number and find you 10 years later. If I can afford you. Ooh.. the shades of white, the big frame on the wall, the high ceiling, the natural lighting, the dustbin, the kitchen top.. ooh.. Photographed by Janne Peters

Ok. That's 10. *smiles smugly*

Seng Kang

2009-07-07T23:41:00.003+08:00

Aw.. look at those kites in the sky! Plus a picnic mat, a pillow, a good book, a straw hat, and a freezing cup of teh-ping, it spells out the p-e-r-f-e-c-t afternoon exactly.

DANG!

2009-06-29T22:35:00.002+08:00

I'm quivering with feverish anger. Sometimes people can get so crude! How dare whoever it is to be so crude!

Dang the one who walks.

Dang even more the one who walks!

I'm going to run from now on.

*INHALES DEEPLY ONCE*

*EXHALES*

*INHALES DEEPLY TWICE*

*EXHALES*

dang u.. :'(

Awesome!

It was early in the morning. I am walking on a cemented pathway that leads to a door. I reached out my right hand to twist the door knob, and a familiar classroom came into view..

Dang!

School is starting soon again.

I'm going to RMIT. At Aussie! Yay! In my dreams.

I'm going to RMIT. At Clementi! That's closer to the fact.

Nevermind, still can dream that I'm in Aussie in the classroom..

The lecturer has amazingly long pale blonde hair and pink freckles.

My classmate sitting beside me is an Efron-lookalike.

A hummingbird is sitting on the windowsill on my other side.

Bright orange leaves swayed in the air as autumn ends and winter comes..

*Dream burst*

Dang!

So far my friends have been telling me doubtful things about SIM.

And they're not encouraging it.

Nevermind, got in already.

Huu.. I'm not prepared to meet new classmates..

2009-06-12T01:09:00.002+08:00

Tweet. Tweet. Tweet. Another day is over. Time to sleep and wait for tomorrow..

Oops, I did it again

2009-06-09T11:39:00.002+08:00

There's this weird sensation in my nerves, I don't know when it started. But I'm probably undergoing a major transformation in this period. I shall caution everyone to stay away from me till the feeling goes away.

Yes! I'm becoming a witch or a vampire soon!

tsk, tsk. Poor girl, she's losing her mind..

2009-06-09T11:03:00.004+08:00

"The only people you need in your life are the ones who prove they need you in theirs."

I don't know from whom this originates from, but shermin probably does. I just saw this on her blog 2 days ago, suddenly quite taken aback. Cause i found myself thinking pretty hard about it since i saw it.

I was thinking..

if that's the case.

Then i'm afraid i don't need anybody in my life..

What a shock.

Shock not because, seriously, i can't think of anybody who needed me in their life that badly.

But rather, that i don't need anybody in my life.

I'm tempted to be egoistical about it and truly say, "yeah, i don't need anybody in my life."

But it'll be lying to myself if i really say that.

How do you live when there are nobody as your motivational factor to live life for?

At this point in time, just wanna declare that i am a little bit ttm. But i don't care because that's what the mind is for. Ttm really isn't a bad thing isn't it, its what you're thinking that counts.

So i shall say, I do need people in my life. These people are the current twinkling stars in my dark night. Some may shine a little brighter or less bright once in a while, so that i can't see them. But stars are still stars, no matter how brightly they shine.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star..

How I wonder what you are..

2009-06-05T01:20:00.003+08:00

OOPS, i think i'm supposed to write a post about the chalet.

Now i forgot what i wanted to write about it.

I just remember..

A lot of cycling and painful muscle aches.

A really nice and cosy chalet i'd like to go to again next time.

A very inspiring kitchen!

Chionging and chionging endlessly and painstakingly with Shermin.

And remember her keep saying, "We're so ZAI!"

Strawberries and chocolate.

Comfy pyjamas and mattresses.

The hysterical and superbly entertaining King's Game.

My horrific witnessing of two guys kissing.

Wait, wait. I have to mention names. Justin and Marvin kissed.

Ok, maybe not really a real kiss.

Happiness in preparing breakfasts.

Shamefully thrown out of the chalet door. What did I do wrong??

Sleeping in the taxi home.

And waking up with the uncle telling me we couldn't find the durian stalls in geylang because we were wandering along the wrong street!

I thought i was talking in my sleep.

But he was just listening to Nic and Jon's conversation, and didn't dared to cut in.

So he told me after they got off the taxi instead.

What a funny uncle.

And what a wonderful chalet i remembered.

Graduation..

2009-06-03T00:03:00.011+08:00

Sawanee is wonderful, no joke.

The sunflowers, so big and pretty! Aw.. :) Thanks for your friendship girl!

Vivienne. Don't know if its mutual, but i feel abit of a connection with her. I seem to find a couple of similarities between us..

Sok Hwee and Si Hui. I wish I could have known them better.

Justin. The pride of DCMD.

Audrey. Beautiful girl, inside out. Impossibly helpful.

I want to remember my classmates.

Jon Wee. Thank you for everything! :) The most enthusiastic and easygoing guy i've met.

Azhar and Shirlynn. Thank you very much. :)

Lester. No you, no advertising workshop winner. No you, no Batey. I would have missed out so much! Thanks buddy. :)

Nicholas. Apb. I don't know what to say. He bring me joy, bring me horror, but I still like him anyway. Everyone does. :) I can't imagine DCMD without him.

Marvin. Smile properly please, haha.

Yes, we graduated together! My forever sisters, I'll always love them, no matter what.

Darn. Char, I know you have very shapely, endless legs. Stop showing off in front of me!

Hello Earthlings

2009-05-25T17:13:00.003+08:00

They always say when a door closes, another new door will open for you.

The doors that are closed for me for the past few weeks are,

almost no access to the internet,

decreased family warmth (I have a big family),

and little social life (even though i daresay i already have a very small social circle).

Oh, and less freedom in eating after one of the little monster wisdom tooth was finally removed.

Only one more to go.

Thankfully, a few other doors opened.

A refreshing sense of serenity and independence,

no more late nights,

and a little part-time escapade i look forward to four times a week.

and which I am so grateful to be able to go there.

And thank you, Khuii, for voluntary lending me your series of Stephenie Meyers all at a time.

It was a pleasant surprise in this period of time. Doomo Arigato Gozaimasu!

I feel like laughing and crying. This is such an unpredictable world!

I have two wonderful friends who are always on the same wavelength. A.k.a "mo qi" in chinese.

They are so cute.

Hahaha!

And I will dedicate a post for the past three days too. :)

I'm going off, mami ku datang! Ole ole ole ole~

I know how I feel

2009-05-01T14:29:00.003+08:00

I was at the dental clinic to see Dr. Au. My cousins, my brother and I did our braces there. He was our dentist.

"Your wisdom tooth is not growing the normal way, its being obstructed."

"Oh, ya. It's quite frustrating. Food gets stuck there all the time."

"We'll have to take them out. If food gets stuck there for too long, the gum will get infected."

"Oh.. ok. Sounds good."

"It's going to be a surgery, ok. Come, let's take an X-ray of your teeth. This X-ray costs $50, but I'm not charging you. See I give so many discounts for your family."

"Haha, thanks!"

"Ok, we're done. Come see your beautiful X-ray. See how the 2 wisdom tooth are growing?"

"Ya."

"So when would you like to schedule the surgery?"

"Erm.. in three weeks time?"

"Ok, can. Oh, what's your surname? Stefany Wong?" (My cousins' surname is Wong.)

"Ah.. no. Just Stefany."

"Oh! Ok. So I'll see you in three weeks time? Set the date with the clinic assistant before you go, ok."

"Ok. Thanks Dr. Au. Bye!"

Stefany Wong. How quirky.

I don't believe in magical worlds but..

2009-04-28T00:21:00.009+08:00

I definitely LOVE THEM!

This afternoon i woke up, and something magical happened.

I remembered my dream!

I dreamt of really beautiful terrace houses and bungalows with complex modernized structures, and the people living in them are quite small. They are having gatherings, parties, all in a lovely magical neighborhood.

And then, and then!

Nearby there are several huge willow-like trees with their roots spread so far and wide and their huge canopy hovering over the ground. These trees have people living in them too! Like a gigantic treehouse.

Wooden planks, ropes dangling all over the branches, and the little people are jumping around their haven like little tarzans. A tree would suddenly have its roots uprooted from the ground, and then run with its strong roots as legs to another nearby tree.

And they became neighbors.

Hai~

Bad habits are really hard to kick.

I thought there was no more

2009-04-14T03:23:00.003+08:00

.. Dinner & Dance after attending CADC's 2 or 3 years ago.

Then came along School of Design's First (going to be) Annual Dinner & Dance. To be honest, I wasn't very keen to go at first. Still, I'm glad i was there. Especially for the after-party.

Thanks to the company. And the food of course. How can I miss out the tender salmon rolls.. sotong paste.. beef meatballs.. chocolate almond cake.. pandan cake.. tiramisu..... i am visualising somebody saying "Eat somemore, so fat already still want to eat" already. Sigh. I love food.

Recently I realised I am not a Singaporean after all. I do not hold a blue IC. I will not be looking forward to October.

Bigger pictures coming up!

2009-04-10T14:54:00.012+08:00

I'm dreaming of white lately. Pictures from etsy.

2009-04-03T15:28:00.003+08:00

I have no idea what they are talking about.

Economy.. policies.. graphs.. systems..

I don't know what those means, I don't know what to say.

I feel stupified. gosh.

Go to School of Design's First Dinner and Dance next Sunday, will you?

I hope it'll be fun.

Hello,

2009-03-29T16:38:00.051+08:00

I had fun the past weeks.

It didn't occur to me that I was starting to have fun until i suddenly found myself in a faraway land called Thai-land. Of course, it was a land for the Thais, the land of smiles, and.. the land of shopping! Muaha. So here begins the journey of 3 brave girls who decided to roam into this land all by themselves, sans protective moms and dads and boyfriends (oops, only 1 is attached bytheway).

The plane touched down at around 10pm, Bangkok time. We took a cab from Suvarnabhumi Airport to a supposedly new service apartment a.k.a our hotel. After about 20 minutes, the cab driver suddenly steered left into a dark, narrow street. Empty vehicles surrounded us and stray black dogs (it was at night) roamed about, some sleeping on the cemented ground. 75 metres of dark street later, emerged an even smaller street, but brighter. We see street lights, we see little bicycles and motorbikes, mothers carrying their children walking about, elder men tending their roadstalls, shop signs flickering brightly on both sides of the street. This is 11 Soi Wattanawong at night.

Now, Tango is the name of the service apartment a.k.a our hotel we had booked online. And Tango is right at the end of this small street. When we saw the 5 letters mounted on a lighted orange wall, and a couple of people walking into the place, it was a BIG relief.

"(keeping a lookout) Tango, Tango, c'mon Tango...... TANGO!! THERE!! TANGOO OH YESS Finally.. (Cab turned right into entrance and saw 2 people walking in).. got people!!! Wahaha.. WE ARE SAFE!! Got people living in this place too!! Woohoooooo~~ (starts dancing in the cab like Kim Sam Soon)"

And that's the end.. of Day 1.

We are happy to have booked such a Fabulous place!

Fabulous yellow wall.

Fabulous Tango.

Breakfasts were Fabulous.

As we had fabulously planned (i know, show off! tsk tsk), we are in the Pratunam area where the shopping districts are. So on Day 2 while there is still an abundant of energy in us, we decided to take a walk.

From Tango to Pratunam market to..

"Eh.. what is that.."

"!! What is a baby elephant doing in the street??!"

Ahh.. the poor thing.. I really wish I could save you little dear, but I am really sorry I'm not Ong-Bak.. sheesh. No more shopping mood.

A good friend NicholasAPB recommended a place called Fuji, saying that the food there is relatively cheap and nice. He told me there is an outlet at World Trade Centre, but I didn't expect there to be an outlet at Platinum Fashion Mall where we were shopping too. Wahaa, exciting! (Dance around like Kim Sam Soon)

I wish i could tag on this picture.

The Green Tea was so nice, it followed us back to hotel. But its not so nice anymore when I drank it the second and third time. Why like that. I thought i had found the best Green Tea in the world..

Speaking of world..

WELCOME TO DREAMWORLD!

Once we were inside,

we realised how strong Lor is..

so we appointed her the Superman of the Day.

Char wasn't too bad either.. Gosh, now i'm scared of them.

Seeing that i'm the weakest one now, they joined forces to bully me!

"Why did you want to buy that embarrassing TOURIST HAT for 120 Baht?!

Now everyone is looking at us as if we are not Thais!"

"Please forgive me..!! It happens to be a sunny day

and it happens to be a big hat, that's all.."

Then we saw a middle-aged man taking his bath in the public.

Tsk tsk. He and his red underwear.

I like the big tourist hat. :)

The hat nearly flew off.

It's time for something more exciting!

.. How come they don't look scared lei.

I used to cry riding the Viking..

But now i'm not scared anymore ^^

Because i've learned that when you are scared..

All you have to do to overcome it,

is to SCREAM! :0 :0

I FEEL LIKE HERCULES TAKING THE CAMERA OUT WHILE THE SHIP IS SWAYING!

Hello Si Hui. :)

I'm here to save you!

Doraemon: 3 throws still haven't hit a block! How are you going to save me??

"I'm sorry Ding Dang.." :(

BYE DREAMWORLD!

(I think I'm starting to mature, theme parks don't excite me as much as it would 3 years ago..)

It's time to meet Sawanee. When you are in a foreign land, it's wonderful to find a familiar face and feeling assured that you are safe, even if.. you are safe. Erm, its like a double confirmation. You'll know it when you feel it. :) When I met her at Tango's lobby, i felt like.. TGYH! (Thank God You're Here!)

But it's not that we are in danger or something that i felt TGYH, but its just feeling very much relieved and happy. *grins*

She brought us to Chinatown to choose between Red Seafood and Green Seafood.

What's the difference?

When you go to the Red Seafood they will serve you Red Crabs, like the one above..

If you go to the Green Seafood they will serve you Green Crabs...

Anyway! The seafood was great, the sauces were nice (I tried chilli), and the price was right.

"the price was right." a.k.a "CHEAP!"

There's no way you'll find their seafood price in Singapore. Must come back next time!

Then we went to famous Khao San Road. There would probably be an awesome place to go if i happen to go on a backpacking trip in the future. Char, Lor and I were rather quiet when we were there cause we'd never really been to a place like there before. It's like another world,

Like, if I happen to step on planet Mars tomorrow, its more likely I'll be "Oh.. so this is Mars.. wow.." than "OooH! Check it out I'm on MARS!" Like that. *grins*

I cannot resist roadside stalls. They're the best, like in Jakarta.

Bugs, crickets, mealworms.. anyone?

Come to think of it, there was this cute (according to Sawanee) white guy a.k.a ang moh who bought a fried baby scorpion in front of our eyes. It was placed in a transparent plastic and given to him. Then he stood there with the plastic in his hands and looked at us for awhile with a weird expression.

Goodness knows if his expression was because he felt ugh-ed holding the fried scorpion or he was feeling rather manly having just bought an actual fried scorpion presumably to eat in front of girls. But he just stood there like that twisting the openings of the plastic and then... walked away.

Maybe he was trying to ask for Sawanee's number, but too shy. :)

19 March 2009 was a great SHOPPING DAY!

Have to wear comfortably, bring a big empty bag, fat wallet..

We went to Siam Square. DCMD was there too.. last year.

No pictures, too busy shopping..

Suan Lum Night Bazaar!

I thought i could get another canvas tote bag like my bee tote bag from the same shop. But i can't find it. :( But i got 3 other canvas tote bags from 2 other shops! :) (Dance around like Kim Sam Soon)

These miniatures are amazingly beautiful! Not that its a rare sight, but i can't stop wah-wah-ing over them. Beautiful cakes and handicraft..

I'm getting tired of blogging these!

Its such a long way down already, i'm definitely not a blogger.

Gosh.

Can't count how many tuk tuk rides we had over the 6 days.

AHA!

Now to reveal the main purpose of this whole trip..

(other than planning it for Lor before her FT nursing starts)

AREN'T THEY BEAUTIFUL?

:D :D :D

Basking ourselves in the fruits of our labour.

(No we are not opening an online shop)

Shopping is hard work!

ONE LAST THING..

SAWATDI!

(GOOD BYE!)

2009-03-09T01:45:00.004+08:00

I'm currently planning a trip for 3 people - my 2 cousins and myself. Yay!

But we don't know where to go, hmph. Lor is going to start work as an official nurse on the 22nd, after which she can't get off for some time. So me and Char is here to be darlings and plan the trip just for her!

One of our choices is Bangkok. But i'm hesitating, cause i'm afraid of the empty feeling that i'll get if i go there again. My first trip to Bangkok is with dcmd, so all the moments there are dcmd-ed. My pure Thai lecturer Sawanee Pornwisawaraksagul mentioned about this empty feeling that she had before too, it seems sad. Especially when we've graduated!

So if we go there, instead of enjoying the trip, i will be like, oh.. this is where we had that massage.. oh! i remember blabla and blabla standing there.. gosh! How demoralising..

How how

I think..

2009-02-24T02:42:00.003+08:00

I will miss some people i know who will be going into NS soon.

Grace told me she hopes to sign on for army after her getting her 'A' Level results. Grace, I salute you, you have my support! Once, during secondary school, I saw a malay woman in army uniform, getting ready to ride her motorbike. So suave! I've admired girls who sign on for army since then. The government ought to award them the noble prize already.

HAHA! Suddenly thought of the army song we used to sing when Jaime and I started to call each other "Xiong Di" = Brother. If i'm a guy, I think i'll be scared of NS, but i'll still look forward to it. I miss footdrill!

ROFL

2009-02-13T02:33:00.005+08:00

Omg its Roll On Floor Laughing. I am so acting smart!

But why use short terms? I can't visualise. When i am chatting and something makes me laugh, my hands automatically reach for the H and A keys. People should type "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA OMG!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!" Then i can imagine: "Ah.. something really funny is making you laugh like that!"

When people type "rofl", i can't help but imagine: "You are rolling on floor laughing? Really ma? Got so funny! Hmm, but not that funny also.. why are you rolling on floor laughing? It's dirty, get up!"

I am not criticizing short terms. I just think some of them are odd. Hehe (I am laughing a little) :)

I went to Angela's blog after typing and saw the perfect example. Hahaha So cute la, I see already will also laugh.

Good Burger

2009-02-11T01:17:00.002+08:00

This is one of the funniest show that i've ever watched. Real funny.. So funnee! It was produced in 1997 (12 years ago), which proves that oldies are still the best around. Someone was actually sleeping beside me (oops*), if not i would have laughed real hard. Watch and go rotf!

I only knew this today: rotf = rolling on the floor. :)

*recalls*

"rotf? erm..rot? rot-f?.. roft?? .... c'mon what is it!"

My Favourite Fridays.

I'm excited about this Friday and the next Friday!

And hopefully the next next Friday and the next next next Friday.

And the next next next next Friday and the next next next next next..

I don't know you so stop chatting with me

2009-02-06T00:09:00.006+08:00

Sometime last year, somebody called Catherine added me on msn. I didn't know who she was, but she sounded sweet, so i thought "okay, might as well add her." But she started to sound rather pervetic for a girl during our hostile chats that i decided to BLOCK her.

Then suddenly..

Ahh! Why Why Why??!! Then i told myself to calm down and decided to play with her. I noticed she changed her dp from the last time we chatted.

Oh, so she might be a girl after all. Then..

What girl will ask another girl for a pic with that pose?! Aiyo, tell me if i'm being oversensitive. Anyway i replied her saying if she wants a pic of my dp instead.

Haha. She don't want! Too bad.

Konbanwa!

2009-02-03T02:00:00.004+08:00

I was at Japan for 2 hours yesterday for a great dinner. The long flight was worth it.

And had this yummy Japanese Yu Sheng - my fourth (out of five) Yu Sheng this year. I'm not complaining. :> Pictures from Viviyumi and Nikkaito.

I need a camera

2009-01-30T17:08:00.009+08:00

I just found out i'll need to use an outside hosting site like flickr or photobucket to upload pictures to blogger so that it'll turn out the exact size thats its cropped to. but i dont have a decent camera on hand currently so i shall save up for one. :>

Anyway there's no motivation for me to take pictures since i dont have much interest in photography just like to see pretty and nice pictures. Plus we dont have a lot of interesting things to take pictures of here in little Singapore. I want to have a pretty collection of pictures so that there's plenty of frames to hang on a wall!

Boring Friday

2009-01-30T16:29:00.004+08:00

Fridays are supposed to be my favourite day of the week but i'm so bored today. So i've been playing with the blog template since yesterday. All the html and xml chimologies, i gotcha! Its fun to see how changing a code can change the look of the blog. but i'm still no website lover. Next i'm just gonna figure out how to make the pictures bigger in blogspot. I want big pictures!

Memory Lane

2009-01-29T00:45:00.006+08:00

Sometime 7 years later, these photos will be treasured memories.

But the colors make them look like they were taken 10 years ago.

Ah.. a sudden heartache..

I keep seeing friendship issues more often recently. I think as one start to really grow psychologically, one will better understand the importance of friendship. It's never too late to learn to be a friend.

My mac is really giving me a headache.
As i'm typing this, the screen just keeps blacking out.
It is confirmed: computers don't like me.

So be it!

I love breakfast too

2009-01-02T19:26:00.002+08:00

I wish we could have more breakfasts like this.

Hello 2009

2009-01-02T19:16:00.006+08:00

Hmm, i wonder what will happen this year.

Maybe i will receive a cherry red Ferrari as present?

Maybe it will start raining gum balls?

I'm getting pickier in my choice of movies.

Smile

2008-12-31T13:12:00.010+08:00

Apologies to people and friends close to me. You guys make me happy but i don't bring you happiness. I don't know how. and i may be like a wood head sometimes but rest assured i'm really glad to have met you all.

I am not emo-ing. I am giving thanks. :)

Happy New Year!

The last day of 2008

2008-12-31T11:31:00.003+08:00

I really don't fancy the world that i am living in now.

Today is the last day of 2008. It has been super fast. I still remember the countdown at the pub - with sp, nic, kaitee, cyan, marvin, zhao, vin, audrey, and some. Today we're gonna countdown to 2009.

Is it a good thing that time is passing so fast? In the world now, it is almost essential for people to keep busy all the time, is it true? If one is not busy, he/she may be said as being lazy, or that they are not successful, not working hard enough to be successful. I think that's rubbish, but sadly, that is how people are perceived now. It's so sad! :(

In any case, I have been trying really hard to find myself for the past 19 years. Now i still don't know who i am. Another sad thing! :(

That's why the concept for my pdp is "Who Am I? I am a human. I am a narrator. I am a baker. I am a traveller. I am a dreamer." I shan't elaborate on this, pretty tiring to explain things. (That's why i always seem to create miscommunication!) :(

Back to topic. As i said, its been really hard finding who i am. During primary school, Stefany was known as the tomboy. Yes, Tomboy!! Goodness haha. But I wasn't a tomboy in character, I was a tomboy in appearance. Had short curly hair, round-framed specs, chubby cheeks, protruding fanged teeth.. don't even try to imagine. I developed my first crush. He was well-liked by many girls (now you know im a typical girl), then primary school was soon over. He never knew about it. I carried the crush through to secondary school, even my secondary school friends knew! I have no idea how it went out. Come to think of it, I seem so devoted huh, haha. Embarrassing!

But i had a really great friend. Kelyn was my best friend in primary school. I didn't know how we turned out to be best friends. I was the typical girl, a nobody in school. She was popular, rather rebellious, a little ah-lian. She was the first person to call me by my chinese name - Fany. I remember her saying in chinese, "Fany, if anybody bully you, just tell me ok! I will help you to fix him" Haha, that's how she is. Coincidentally, she developed the same crush as me too. We never really told each other, but then one day in the bus, she told me in chinese, "Fany, i know you like XXX. Don't worry, I won't snatch with you!" After she said that, I was flabbergasted. But there was no cat fights, no nothing. We just kept teasing each other from then on. Sadly, as fast as the fate has come for us, it was gone again. We went to different secondary schools. Somehow we didn't stay in contact much, and we matured. (That's the bad thing about maturity - people change.) Now we don't even contact each other. But she was engaged last year, and I'm so happy that she invited me. Wish you all the best, my best friend. :')

Now I'm going to make my first resolution for 2009. I have been taking in love from people around me all this while (yes, a spoiled brat i am), but only taking in, not giving out love. I think its time that i learn how to do that. An introvert, i don't know how to express myself. I don't wish to regret only after losing friendships and relationships. So, Stefany is going to be more loving in 2009. (ugh, sounds abit funny) and she shall continue embarking on the endless journey of finding herself. Go girl!

William House

2008-12-25T14:13:00.003+08:00

When I was in De La Salle School (primary), I was in the William house. The other houses i remember was Lawrence, Paul, and Thomas. I still remember my house cheer vividly, haha.

Lead: Williams all unite and show our might!

All: Williams all unite and show our might!

Lead: Show them how we people fight!

All: Show them how we peole fight!

Lead: We'll fight in the sun, we'll fight in the rain!

All: We'll fight in the sun, we'll fight in the rain!

Lead: We'll win this fight no matter what it takes!

All: We'll win this fight no matter what it takes!

All: We will, we will, rock you, rock you! (x3)

What fond memories.

OCS Christmas Party

2008-12-21T12:49:00.007+08:00

I finally got a chance to go into the premises of the army men. I'm so curious about what they do inside, how they live inside training almost everyday for 2 years! Such a rare chance, must bring camera along.

Thanks to Allan. He suddenly asked me if i'm free on that day cause everyone has to bring a partner. He's in the OCS, and their section planned this christmas party. But I think he regretted asking me, haha. It's definitely awkward if you ask an old flame to go to a social event with you right? I guess..

The girl on my left is really cute and sweet. She's the date of Allan's friend whom we picked up on the way there. Lucky we get along quite well and i can talk to her while he is hanging around with his army mates.

And this guy, he's so tall! When I saw him, i thought he looked really familiar. No wonder, he's one of the male models of Deal or No Deal and he's been on 8Days magazine and such. Handsome! Haha.

And this guy, he really really resembles Allan Wu. His built, features, and the way he walks and such spells out A-L-L-A-N W-U. Even his haircut.

There's also the prize presentation. There's 4 platoons there. Allan was his platoon's best. Congratulations! :)

The log cake was huge.

Guys were the stars of the day. Girls were the photographers.

The world is really small. Nick Toh was also there. Sorry I didn't hear you when you wanted me to help you take picture, haha.

I was only taking picture of the roses that every girl gets. Then Nick complained that I was taking artistic pictures. Stop it, stop it! Haha funny guy!

- Bye-Bye -

Why like that

I'm worried about tomorrow.

How will it turn out? :{

There goes my poly life!

argh. Why are things happening so fast. I'm living my life like a blur.

But in some way, its still exciting.

Nevertheless, yesterday night. My elder cousin was having night duties as nurse, my other two cousins were staying over at their friend's house. So at 11pm onwards, i was sitting on the sofa watching tv alone. My aunt and uncle were already in their room. I watched the recorded 'Little Nyonya' because i missed it on Friday. After that was done, i switched back to tv channel. The tv was tuned to History channel, and i didn't bother to switch channels. Good thing i was lazy, because there was an interesting show broadcasted at that time, around 1.30am. History channel was showing the documentary titled "How The Earth Was Made". I was intending to sleep already, but this documentary put that intention aside.

I didn't buy the DVD, i saw it on History channel. It was 2 hours long, so by the time i saw it i already missed the first quarter. But it was interesting enough to make me sit on the sofa for the next 3 quarters of the show. Some things that provoked my mind:

No one can actually explain how water got into the Earth.
They can explain how the first water creatures and dinosaurs were formed, but not the first ancestors of mankind.
Life was created and depleted on the Earth during many cycles of Earth's ever-changing ecosystem.
Which means human life may be depleted too, in the next cycle, if there is.
Its amazingly impressive how the scientists discovered how the Earth was formed.
And being able to track the milestones of the changes way back to 4.5 billion years ago.
Earth will eventually die one day, or it will transform again, and a new phase of life will begin again.

Note: Some of the points above may be rubbish.

Then after that when i went to bed alone..

I dreamt of a very unique shoe design

that i was wearing in my dream!

The best chocolate ever

2008-12-12T02:00:00.005+08:00

How can anybody resist Ferrero Rocher?

Consisting of 'a whole roasted hazelnut encased in a thin wafer shell filled with nutella/ hazelnut cream and covered in milk chocolate and chopped hazelnuts',

it is so super-ultra-mega DELICIOUS!

If i don't gain weight and contract strep throat so easily, i would love to eat a single, precious ball of Ferrero Rocher every single day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

I'll chew it layer by layer: first the crunchy chopped hazelnuts covered with milk chocolate together with the crispy wafer, then let the nutella/ hazelnut cream melt in my mouth, and finally the super crunchy whole roasted hazelnut. Imagine Heaven~

No wonder i like hazelnuts and nutella.

Switzerland is not the country of chocolates. Italy is! Because Ferrero Rocher is founded in Italy. Okay, im going to grab a box the next time i go grocery shopping. :))

Quote of the Day

2008-12-11T18:19:00.006+08:00

I refer to the Quote of the Day:

"Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first." -Mark Twain (1835-1910)

How true! Haha, a kick to people who keep complaining about life!

Cheers! :D

I was just going through all the posts that i've posted so far,

and i realised that it seems a bit low.

Yes, another option to add on to the post: First multiple choice.

It's probably my style of writing.

I don't use a lot of exclamation marks and expressive symbols,

so that's why it sounds unexpressive?

Then this blog must be super boring to read.

Good thing nobody knows about this place yet.

It's my personal playground.

Means no writing about my personal feelings.

Except when i feel like it.

And i feel bad not letting closer friends know.

It's not because i don't want to,

but it just doesn't feel right yet.

I'm sure when its time,

you guys will know about this place eventually.

Because its the natural cause of things.

First multiple choice

2008-12-09T23:47:00.003+08:00

I was told that i'm dreamy, as in low. Low, Low, Low, stef. I'm still confused! haha.

~Enlighten Me~

There's a few possibilities that i can think of.

A. I look sad most of the time. My spirit seem low, no enthusiasm.

B. I talk very little. Nothing interest me much, its hard to strike a conversation.

C. I am in my own lala-land. I seem to be very far away from reality.

D. All of the above.

E. None of the above. (Then i'm still confused)

What's the answer??

Low, low, low, low..

Just Married!

2008-12-08T16:44:00.005+08:00

By the way, the wedding was good. They received lots of well wishes. :) I just thought that it was a little too much. Personally, if i'm going to get married, i will hope to have just a small family cum close friends cum close relatives kind of wedding celebration. I don't have that much energy to entertain so many people. Plus i can't take too much attention, i'll become the runaway bride.

In indo, its very common to send huge garlands of flowers like these during whatever events. I think its a nice gesture, but its also very wasteful. The flowers wilt after a few days, then you have to throw them away or they'll be burnt. Why not just send a nice card that people can actually keep, and let the flowers live longer in the wild?

Lost, and Found

2008-12-08T02:25:00.004+08:00

My dear little tote bag, you're found at last! I miss your convenience, portability, ruggedness, simplicity, and everything you can ask for in a tote bag. I just wished you had more compartments. But nevermind, as long as you're found, i'm happy. :D

Don't get lost again okay, you have a very forgetful owner. Make sure to follow her around everywhere when you return to her, understand?

This was the last that i saw of you, at the salon before the wedding dinner. This picture is very important when i was trying to look for you, it is evidence that i might have forgotten to take you back from the salon.

But your owner is not that bad, she did bring you back home. :) You were found yesterday at a sofa, suffocated underneath piles of pillows. You must look rather wrinkled after not getting enough oxygen for so many days.

I must go to sleep now. I think i sound a little psychotic already. That's what happens when humans are still awake at 3 in the morning. Goodnight my dear little tote bag, I'll see you when my brother brings you back to me! :)

The Little Nyonya

2008-12-07T03:20:00.006+08:00

I'm really hooked onto this show!

The whole little nyonya thing, makes me want to be a nyonya too. It seems like all they do is cook, clean the house, groom themselves, get married, have children. Hmm, actually thats a whole lot of things to do. Maybe i'll just learn the cooking part.

I want to eat all the nyonya kuehs!

2008-11-26T22:19:00.000+08:00

Capek.

I'm Back

2008-11-26T00:42:00.005+08:00

I felt like i hadn't gone back indo yet. Its so fast.

Nevertheless, I had seen my new room,

and it needs quite an amount of revamping.

Slowly but surely, i will revamp it. :)

IKEA, I'm counting on you!

Fenni

2008-11-19T02:06:00.004+08:00

I met up with Fenni. :) She's forever the same, haha.

We are always talking and laughing so naturally, i like!

But my expression looks weird here.

I like your specs, don't change alright whaha.

Who are you, who are you to say that, stef?

(Sorry, split personality.)

Somebody across our table is eye-ing on Fenni, that's why help us take picture. He ate that plate of 12-inch Hawaiian pizza alone!

I'm holding onto the desert: Celfone cupcake.

Lets meet up again and again and again. :P

My Family

2008-11-16T16:18:00.009+08:00

I don't know why, i suddenly feel like introducing my family, haha. My family in Singapore, that is, not my biological family, whom perhaps i will introduce them in the future. Here goes:

This is my aunt and uncle. My aunt is my mother's elder sister, so i've been staying with them since i came to Singapore close to 14 years ago. They have 3 children - all girls, and we grew up together. Hmm, sounds like a kampong story. Haha

Her name is Loretta. She's the first daughter, my elder cousin. We were in the same secondary school, and she was the one who urged me to join Red Cross in Sec 2. She has always been good at leadership, very hardworking. We're the well-known cousins then, same cca, same house (blue house - Gumption). I think she'll be a great nurse in the future. :)

The second daughter, Charline. We're of the same age, so when we were young we're always dressed like twins. She's a good listener, you can talk to her about anything! Anyway, she used to be shorter than me. Until secondary school when she joined basketball and badminton while i joined choir and red cross, she grew much taller! Shoots, i should have joined netball. Jump jump!

Get what i mean when i said dressed like twins? So flowery! :)

She is my nightmare. Just joking! Her name is Geraldine, the youngest daughter. She is always ranting about wanting a dog when we already have so many hamsters at home! Still, i would love to have a dog, too. :) But she has this nasty habit of taking un-glam pictures of me.

Goodness, scroll down!

So, this is my family. Thank you. :)

Fate No More

2008-11-15T14:41:00.006+08:00

I was supposed to meet this person,

whom i used to be very close to today for lunch.

But he was down for guard duty at the last minute.

We haven't been in contact or seen each other in, 4 months?

Guess when fate is meant to be, it will happen.

But when fate is gone, it really is gone.

The Natural cause of things.

High School Musical

2008-11-15T02:53:00.005+08:00

Many people may think that i am trying to be a kiddo, but i really do like High School Musical!

If it really is that kiddish, why are the casts made up of 19 and 20 year olds teenage actors and actresses, who look fabulous, who would probably not want to be involved in the production if they think it is kiddish, and people - the fans, the paparazzi, tabloids, can't get enough of them? Not that i can't get enough of them, haha. Even so, nobody can deny the fact that the show has changed the lives of children and adults likewise. And such powerful, positive influences of their spirit is definitely something to applaud for.

Nevertheless, this post is not to announce to the world my admiration for HSM, but for something more... realistic. :)

I have this overwhelming feeling when i saw my friends and coursemates wearing the graduation robe. It makes me think of the HSM spirit. The togetherness, that we're all in this together. That's probably why i may be a little more excited than usual during the photoshoots. The songs just keep popping up in my head, i feel like dancing around the whole studio and blasting the rhythm on their cd player. Its wonderful, why am i not a part of HSM? Why am i not in Salt Lake City rehearsing the dance moves and vocals and moving around at East High? More people should take a look at the song lyrics - there's stories within them.

Pardon the daydreaming. :)

This particular art direction is so similar to the photoshoots for my eds. It still wasn't out yet during eds period. Me and HSM director Kenny Ortega has similar thinking! >.<

My Pretty Friend

During the photoshoot, Siu Ping looked really pretty. :D

It's Our Graduation

2008-11-13T02:05:00.005+08:00

We had our Birth09 photoshoot yesterday.

It suddenly dawned on me that we are all really graduating soon, no joke. These 3 years had really passed very fast, and it seemed like yesterday that I was choosing which course and poly to go to. Getting into dcmd had changed my life. It will always remain as an important milestone. :)

Then i was thinking, whats next? What am i going to do after graduating? Where would i end up? My dream life is to live by the sea, or have a little cottage some place close to nature. I don't want the hustle and bustle of city life, I don't want the fast paced footsteps of people walking on the streets like zombies. I want true self, true happiness, and true relationships. If i can do anything i want i would go to paris and learn the art of pastry making, and be a patissier. And i will travel. Then i got some sense knocked into me and i realised that reality does not allow me to do that. Maybe not for now.

When i did the dcmd: class of '09 book for EDS, and the experimental part was for us to meet up again after 7 years to reminisce the times we had in dcmd, it wasn't a joke either. Haha im not a very jokey person, am i? No worries, i do joke! :) I really hope that it will happen. Just the thought of imagining what our lives would be 7 years from now, it is still a blur to me. I'm quite scared actually, really.

Thank you everybody, especially to the people who are in charge of this massive photoshoot, and also who helped out in the video-making, robes, food, and the coordinating of things, and out-of-the-world lecturers. I don't want to list any names, in case i left out anybody! Most importantly, to Alex from Wizards of Light! Ok, maybe just this one name.

Happiness.

Happy Birthday!

2008-11-10T00:59:00.003+08:00

To Vivienne Tan Wei Ling. :)

Her birthday falls on 9th November.

We surprised her with a lovely Breadtalk cake.

Introducing,

Chocolate Heaven.

THE MOST CHOCOLATE-Y CAKE I'VE EATEN!

2008-11-07T22:34:00.005+08:00

WHAT IS THIS??!!

Blogger since, DECEMBER 2006?!

I have a Red Cross Blog?!

I don't even remember, seriously! Maybe I've been in a car accident (touch wood) and my memory was wiped out. One of the post was even posted by me, I wonder how I learnt how to do that 2 years ago.

Now I have 2 blogs, wow. The craziness is still lingering. I need time to fit blogging into my life. It will be a long while.

2008-11-05T15:36:00.001+08:00

Ok, I can't believe I'm typing a blog post here.

Stefany has gone crazy.

Somebody help her.
