Ohaiyo gozaimasu! Just came back from 玉华园 Chinese garden! Woke up too early in the morning and decided to follow my parents for their 晨运. My god Chinese Garden is quite pretty, I didn't know. All in all, quite fun. There were turtles and flocks of birds and eveything. My dad was doing embarrassing stuff like saying "piang! piang!" at the birds hoping they would be like 惊弓之鸟 or something. Alas, nothing of the sort happened, the birds just flew on. And he was saying "Good Morning!" to the squirrels on the trees. this is the first time I've seen squirrels appearing in Jurong. HAHA. So cute, wanna take them home as pets. LOL. Then he started oohing and aahing at his footprints saying that they were beautiful. Erm... Am glad nobody heard us!

There's a lake in Chinese Garden too, so pretty. I wish I had a house by a lake, with pretty gardenias in front of the cottage, and a path winding from my door to the outside fence. HAHA. I'd bake cookies too. Edible or not, I'm not sure. WAHAHA.

Note to self: Stop overanalyzing everything!

Feeling a little something at what's coming in a week or more, or perhaps the impending thing coming at 12am. Is it an impossible feat for people to be altruistic enough to STOP mentioning that results are gonna be released? I mean, a day ago, I was still blissfully ignorant. Then all of a sudden, starting from HW, every single person from ntu just has to remind me "results releasing today, results releasing today....". Guess I don't blame them. OKAY maybe it's just nerves talking?

Alright, I love Leehom's new album. ^^ It's very... 荡气回肠. I think there can be no english sayings that can truly explain what his songs are to me right now. A lot of people are good musicians, but Leehom, he's something special. The music oft just wows me to no end. And there is a lot of heart behind the music for his latest offering. I know that, since his last album kinda sucked because he was busy filming Lust, Caution. I reckon the title of the album 《心。跳》is quite apt. Since there are songs from the affairs of the HEART, and then there are songs with dance BEATS. No prizes for who can guess why the title is styled with a full stop in the middle. Leehom apparently hasn't recovered from the movie just as yet. LOL.. I mean, yeah, I supposed Leehom loved that movie, a lot. But fortunately, he now has time to put in more effort in his new album!

Oh well... Heartbeat is the first single of Leehom's new album with the same name. And the song has a great hook and is addicting. To me at least. People like my sis don't seem suitable impressed/awed by it. HAHA. Maybe people don't like rock the way I do now. I can understand, I used to hate this genre too. I love another song called 另一个天堂 because it's just too beautiful. Recently I've been getting more and more impatient with Chinese female singers 'cause they don't have any personality? But I like this song. Haha. I like Korean female singers more, they have great vocal ranges according to what I've heard. HAHA.

Yup the conclusion is....

I LOVE LEEHOM! XOXOXO!(as if all of you don't already know) HAHA.

Hmmm. Kinda regretted missing his Music-Man concert 'cuz of well... School, what else? Sheesh. AHH. Dreading 5th of January....

ZOMG. I must say that i am kinda into irascible vampiry rascals right now. Big time. This is all thanks to sh's ardent influences and the perfect asymmetry of the face belonging to one Robert Pattinson.

Otherwise known as Edward Cullen the vampire, who can currently activate young girls' raging hormones by just merely shifting in his seat.

Otherwise known as Cedric Diggory, the very same one who had captured my fluttering heart those years back. May everyone take that as obvious. One of course could rightly choose between Cedric and Harry. He has the apparent advantage over Harry's unfortunate dimunitive stature and mediocre looks. And if I were one froggie who once rested its slimy legs upon Harry Potter's lily pad, I most certainly have already hopped over to Robert's all too willingly. Afterall, Robert's lily pad practically shone with iridiscent green (much like how someone's teeth do in gleaming white, hurhur), and any little froggie would be tempted by it.

Twilight definitely has awoken the girl in me. The little girl who had pored over countless Sweet Valley High, Sweet Sixteen and Love Stories books. The teenage girl who had fallen for Mr Rochester in Jane Eyre, who had tried her hand Romancing Mister Bridgerton by laughing together with Colin, and who had once ruminated upon her Pride and Prejudices by cursing Mr Darcy and loving him.

And perchance the slightly grown girl who had been there, done that has reverted back to childish whims and musings, to fall in love with a devilishly handsome vampire?

Tuesdays With Morrie can't be as good as Tuesdays With Robert Pattinson. Ahhh, can anyone else feel my gushing of magnificent love?

Edit/// The Robert Pattinson News on livejournal is quite taxing on my poor nerves with the overload of info. Much as I want to remove it, I did not lest I would be found wanting. But honest-to-goodness, too much news is overkill. The diffidence at the news flooding my Friends page was not imagined, after all.

Edit 1013 pm////
Oh la la~ I ain't watching Cedric Diggory I swear. Too much cuteness and imma get high! I LOVE CEDRIC DIGGORY! 'specially when he showed Harry Potter up but good. I must say I didn't know there's this bloodthirsty side of him when I was drooling all over the movie theater a few years bad. The thought of him possessing this pushy side of him is giving me the heebyjeebies. But, in a good way. Alas, I think I'm kinda masochistic by nature to like being treated meanly. Stop it!

Tis' the second day of work and I've nothing to do! Jianz is going out with his friends (erhem, well technically i know them too) and refusing to chat with me. Have a secret clandestine desire to open the fridge in the pantry, or even to go to the pantry itself. What could be in there? The ubiquitous possibilities and the images of me guzzling them are filling me up with heavenly euphoria! I miss sohhoon, I do! At least I can msn in here. Hurhur.

Xiao niangre was boring yesterday. And I heartily believe Jeanette Aw acts better when she isn't allowed to talk! My ears, my ears! OK, I dled the britney spears album yesterday and I think it's not that bad. Like the KILL the lights, the KILLLLLLLLLL part is quite funny. KILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!! I also love this new song by pink its called SOBER. I dunno why I like it I just do. HAHA. Other songs I love are from Lam Fung's new album! HAHA.

Woke up today and felt a gorgeous sense of relief. Had a fitful slumber of too many things happening at one time. Claustrophobia has never hit quite so close to home. Dad scolded me early morning for forgetting to switch off the tv the night before, scooted to the room to avoid his wrath. Trust me, hell hath no fury like my dad noticing the switch is on. 5 minutes later the storm passed and he came into the room, asking me to eat breakfast. Happiness is when parents nag at you. Mum's asleep, so helped cover her properly with blankies and it's time for work! Met a girlie colleague then pretended not to notice her 'cuz of inherent shyness and a little before-work trepidation. But she called my name! Then I felt warm all over, people here are shining angels of kindness and saintliness (ok, minus the exaggeration)

Only slightly feeling disappointed on acct of sohhoon not being here! The words 香港 and Hongkong scrawled all over the five days in the calendar is making me positively drown in envy! Sheesh, I want pantene shampoo I forgot to ask her to buy! Am currently using her desk now so can see her calendar.

For the first time in my life, i feel oddly comforted by the presence of a depreciation schedule. Maybe accountant is the way to go after all...

Lemme do the things I wanna blog about before I forget everything!
1) Cousin who came a-visiting
2) Name of her friend - which is quite absymally unfortunate
3) Dress - of which i sold for 16 bucks, not much but.... still SHIOK!
4) The fervent desire to get a pleated skirt

My cousin came today! She showed me little Priscilla (snigger) who is now so big! Heard she can roll round the bed now. Awwwww so cute. Anyway it feels odd to be a cousin to a baby, i'm like 19 years older? OMG imagine her having to call me jehjeh when all she wants is to call me auntie!!! Sorta like how i called ling ling jehjeh when I wanna call auntie. Aiiighhts. And my cousin has a friend whose name is Ophelia! Who could possibly be so cruel to their own daughter?! I mean, Ophelia, like, died, in a Shakespeare(who made up the name i think) play when she's in her early twenties?!

Thirdly, sold a mandarin collar dress to sh's customer today, which is quite shiok despite the ironing (which i loathe). Went to jp to meet her, then saw a bunch of youngsters(can't believe I'm using that word now) who were heading to their prom night! One of the girls who was wearing a white frumpy frilly thing like she was getting married said "为什么别人去PROM搭TAXI，我们就要搭MRT？！”Which is quite funny, LOL-ed at that. I mean, PROM NIGHT LEH! Why can't just take cab, somemore they many ppl what?! HAHA.

Lastly, I HAVE A FERVENT DESIRE FOR A 百褶裙！！or 1000 folds also can but with tiny pastel flowers print. OMGGG I'm so ridiculous I know but bear with me.

PS: je deteste l'examens! (or a politely phrased term of EXAMS SHOULD JUST HANG THEMSELVES AND DIE)

"School's starting!" I exclaimed darkly by dashing into a dark corner of my dingy apartment atop my new transport of choice - The Firebolt. Ha! Mayhap 'twas quicker to just apparate myself there, but I am just a new soul yearning for adventure in a strange world. Too much Harry Potter does that to people. But school's starting, I can no longer pretend that sugar is fairydust, and therefore can't sprinkly it all over my body and wish myself invisible. Nor can I weave little webs of illusory images and make believe. School's starting!! The monstrous word (what word, eh? what else?!) is giving me the heebyjeebies. Not that it helps that Beach Ball Babes is constantly shoving the horrible image of ntu into my face. And that the trailer of Fann Wong's new show starts on the 4th of August. Makes one just wanna go away. Traipse around London town, hum a gypsy tune when walking across the exotic avenue of Champs-Elysees, catch that melting bit of gelato before it drops on the streets of Rome, or even take the Hogwarts Express to neverneverland.

But because I'm a new soul in a strange world, I'd understand that London is probably too polluted to indulge in any physical activity, or that I do not know anything about gypsies save for tarot card readings and wandering caravans, or gelato is available locally due to dratted globalisation that made everything available, everywhere. And just when I had a slight inkling that I might be a witch on the way to see Albus Dumbledore in Hogwarts... NTU, Glorious NTU, reminds me that it's time for school!! Sheesh...

Am desperate for change, am bereft of change, yet am hopeful of change after I saw Xiao JingTeng giving more than one-word answers in KangXiLaiLe. I mean, this dude can talk?! Surprise surprise!

First off, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOREEN! HAHA, no matter how many times I have wished her that I still am not tired of it. Every friend of mine is special to me, and she is special because she is Doreen! Alright, I'm starting to write bad poetry on account of me being quite happy after the celebration, albeit the awkwardness of the congregation. HAHA. It feels, to quote miao, "more like a commonwealth gathering". Correct lor, I think so too. Talked about the usual stuff again, but rehashing old topics are still fun and so I don't mind them. Waggles eyebrows. S'long as the joke is not on me. HEH!! Erhem priscilla erhem z-kent erhem zongda. Hurhurhur. Felt quite bad about it but can't help it. I'm mean that way. Heh heh. Anyway...

Ten Reasons Why Doreen Is Special
1) I have known her since we both were thirteen
2) She is my going home companion when we were little seconday school kids
3) She is a genuinely good person at heart
4) Doreen loves food
5) She would sometimes have breakfast with me after her church on Sundays (jumps with glee!)
6) She is the only Catholic in our clique
7) Her favourite place is Jurong Point
8) I trust her a lot, and on those long bus trips home, we'd tell each other our 心事 (maybe that's why I love our bus trips home)
9) She knows how to cook (how deep is my admiration! what a regular 贤妻良母 is she?!)
10) I LOVE HER!!!!!

Today was quite horrible, I forgot doreen's present halfway and had to alight at 492 and take bus back home again to fetch the present! As a result I was horribly late. Luckily pris and miao waited for me else I won't know how to go! But to put it in a debonair manner, and a husky voice to boot, "I did it all for the sake of you, doreen!" HHAHA. Sheesh I must curb my manliness!

I like PRIS'S card too, it's very nicely drawn! Didnt know she has such talent, sia! HAHA. Maybe she could be on the way to become the most famous artist in the world also 说不定哦！！

We took a lot of pictures together outside Tea Party, the restaurant we went to located at Sixth Avenue, it was rather fun. HAHAHA. It's like our regular routine already, taking a picture of the 六朵金花 every two months in order to gauge our change! Still the same lor, still not pretty lor! HAAHA. TSK TSK TSK. I wanna do plastic surgery leh! GRRRR.

Anyway it was all rather... nice. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN!

love and loss

2008-04-01T14:42:45Z

For the hopeful : Tis' better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved before.

For the cynic: I guess that's what settling down means - to settle.

I do not want to settle, you see. I hope, like Lee-Ann, to have loved and lost, than never to have loved before. Call me a die-hard romantic if you must. Sappy things aside, Leap Years is really a good movie. Every moment, every scene, and every subtle change of the facial expressions are just too breathtakingly beautiful. I feel like watching it again!! Watched it with miao, doreeen and tinger. Ananda and Lilin really have chemistry, I can totally believe their love for each other. Joan Chen really looks like what I imagine LiLin would look like when she's old. And I think time just stops for LiLin, why does she look so young?! Have to admit I'm terribly jealous. It's deplorable for Time to be partial so! Hasn't she been in the industry for so long? I've known of her since I was a kiddo! ANYWAY. Props to the cameo of Alan Wu, her hubby, it was quite funny, and sorta romantic. Love truer than true appearing on the big screen. Sweet.

Ananda/Jeremy is quite the cute guy, he looks like orlando bloom!! Recently, it seems that every guy I see on movies looks like Orlando Bloom! Mr Wickham from Pride and Prejudice for example. HEH. Oh and Pride and Prejudice is good too. Keira Knightley is pretty as the witty Elizabeth Bennet, and her counterpart Mr Darcy is just... so..... hot...... REALLY! His is of all the package, the intense dark eyes, the wide forehead, the aristocratic profile of his visage, and even the darling cleft upon his chin!!! He is The Gentleman to life!!! Actually, his looks are what I'd always imagined when I read about English Gentlemen!! I love 'em! Bring back men in top hats, canes, and courtly manners!

The Shakespeare Secret

2008-03-24T12:30:32Z

I am currently, seriously freaked out. Have been reading The Shakespeare Secret, borrowed the book from the library. I took a look at the first sentence and immediately know that I HAD TO HAVE IT. Haven't finished it, but am halfway through it. But it is seriously, damn freaky. I was alone in the room, rain beating a gentle rhythm outside the window, and thoroughly absorbed in the mystery. Every single chapter gripped me. And for a moment, i was afraid The Ghost Of Hamlet would appear in all its white glory. The apparition would then point a finger at me, and then cry "vengeance" in that mono baritone i've always imagined his voice would be. Hamlet is the most scary play I've heard of from Shakespeare. Too many tragedies, too many regrets. There is something oddly mesmerizing about shakespeare, his lines speak of tragedy, yet hint at comedy. It seems like he did not believe in beauty. There is always a catch.

I don't know much about shakespeare, really. But I know enough about the stories to feel scared lar!!!!! OMG.

I am loathed to finish the book. But it's damn gripping and scary. One person had died in the fashion of Hamlet's father on the pursuit of the challenge posed in the book.

"If you follow it, you must follow where it leads." Someone wants to kill the main character, but who?

Who?
