i'm sitting on a mountain of ants just waiting to get a reply.

thanksgiving;

"Parents surprise their son with an Xbox 360 for his birthday after months of telling him they couldn’t afford one.
Thankfularity ensues.
Also: DON’T WRECK THE BOX."

'i cost you a fortune'
omg sucha grateful kid, if i ever saw one!
and when he runs to hug his parents.
AWWWW
i think he deserves his xbox :)

25th Dec

rumi's photoshoot for RVCA.
cool stuff.



pardon the bad handwriting, this is what you get when you don't use a wacom haha

hope you had a gr8 christmas day! :D

Mr fox : That was pure wild animal craziness.

"Fantastic Mr Fox: Shot digitally using a Nikon D3, which offers a significantly higher resolution than even that of full High Definition. It was also shot at a frame rate of 12 frames per second, rather than the more fluid 24, so that viewers would notice the medium of stop-motion itself."

Ahhh I can't wait to watch it!

I wouldn't mind doing a short stop-motion film for IBP

(if I'm headed that way..)

Mr. Fox: The whole time I was putting paw over paw with your mother digging beside me, and I thought to myself: I wonder who this little boy...
Ash: Or girl!
Mr. Fox: Right, 'cause at the time we didn't know. I wonder who this little boy or girl is gonna be? Ash, I'm so glad he was you.

lastly, found this on the net:

hahaha

INTHISWORLD,

nothing pretty much stays the same forever,
time is an enemy;

yet time is a friend.

it all depends on how you adapt to the change/
no, whether you WANT to accept the change.

'I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think.
Was I the same when I got up this morning?
I almost think I can remember feeling a little different.
But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?'
Ah, that's the great puzzle!'

/i'm not gonna live by what i see, not gonna live by what i feel/

Strength,

Supernatural strength.

Grace,

Abundant grace.

Love,

Unconditional love.

/deep down i know that You're here with me/

My parents are like tooth-fairies.

Except I don't have to give them a tooth in exchange for cash.

But they do put my allowance under my pillow when I'm sleeping.

So when I wake up I'll find cash under the pillow,

just like the tooth fairy story!

And I think sometimes when I'm semi-sleeping and my parents place the cash under my pillow,

I actually mumble to them or reply their questions though I'll have no recollections of it whatsoever when I wake up.

Think everyone does that though? Haha

WOW camp was awesome fun, will blog about that soon but now it's time to get off the com!

Let me start.

• Come what may.
• Unconditional love.
• Family.
• Relying not on myself, not by my strength.
• Mindset: Happy or not. I choose to be happy. Nothing's automatic, it's all a choice.
• Revelations.
• MAYAYAYAY omg i foresee an overload of maya in these few days.
• WOW camp countdown: 4 more days!!!

Today I noticed that the "lol" symbol looks like a drowning guy, and all you see is his head and arms sticking out of the water. I bet he's not laughing out loud anymore. MLIA

*

i don't know if those are shoes or socks or stockings or permanent tattoos but i like this pic no less.

(i need Your strength, to live again)

So f21 has some new things that i really like,
since i'm becoming more financially stable i wanna get some stuff!
and thus ruining my newly found financial stability.
okay i have second thoughts on ordering now.
see, i'm slowly becoming frugal.
now everytime b4 i order something i take superrr long to decide and in the end i don't buy it cors it's sold out lol so there, i saved money.
hahahahahah-
i feel better after laughing at myself.

moving on,
looky here at the clothes!


i think i'll wear this every day.
but then i don't need a tshirt to remind me but i'll still wear it every day.







i (L) connector rings! and they're only 2.80 USD which is like one mac-spicy burger here in sg!
so if i can eat mac-spicy burgers everyday, why can't i order a ring just this one time right???!???!??
i just logic-ed myself into getting the ring whooooo
-

-

okay so if the 'Jesus (L)'s me' shirt is 16.90 USD..
it's about 3 mac-value meals? if i can order 3 value meals why can't i order a shirt just this one time
RIGHT?

okay stop it fel, food are a necessity.
clothes are not.
i mean, fancy clothes are not.
gunny sacks should be in fashion then we'd all save money and look good all the time.

Try this:

1) Get your house keys in one hand.

2) On the other hand, pick up your hp and call a friend.

3) Chat and arrange a dinner with her.

4) Hang up after confirming.

5) Find your house keys.

That always happens to me -.- I think I unconsciously multi-task, if there is such a thing.

Like doodle or fiddle with paper while I'm on a phone call. Then after the phone call I would see the mess of paper or the weird drawings and writings I draw.

A bit worrying but I guess it's how my mind un-clutters itself.

Okay, no, I don't think so too, so nevermind next topic stop distracting me!

Had first cg today and it was gooood :D

Really glad to meet and talk to every one of them, I think they're cool and interesting and nice and friendly and so much more. Now back when I was a teen, I don't think I was as cool as them. Back then I was going to the library to read with trena my book buddy!

Wait I still go to the library to read with trena, to think of it.

Haha okay so not much change- once a nerd, always a nerd B-)

And that reminds me I have overdue library books and I needa help jying borrow su'm and I just bought a book from sal army that day with rae for 2 bucks!

I'll show y'all my sal army purchases soon, thrifting is like recycling so I feel green. Rae, we saved the earth!

Recently my mental clock has been switching off at 12 midnight and I get so tired that I HAVE to sleep by 12 or else I'll crash on the sofa or while I'm brushing my teeth halfway. I'm getting more sleep by sleeping at midnight but I'm not complaining, if fact I love sleeping early I could get used to this. (I might suffer in WOW camp though if I shut down by 12am :X)

Golly look it's 1 am, no wonder I almost dozed off okay goodnight <3>

P.S updated my playlist!

I like the first song, it's like one of my feel-good songs.

& then there's Amoled cors I can't get enough & britney spears' new song. Catchy.

Let go,

the difference?

Click on pic to see it clearer but lady gaga has her own sneakers!

I wouldn't mind designing my own sneakers. Not at all.

But then again everyone has dreams and ideas. It is whether you try and make your dream a reality that sets you apart from the dreamers. You enter into a whole new realm.

You are one step closer to making it real.

*Studies show that from birth,
most boys like pink.

But as they point pink stuff out to their mothers,
the moms will smack their hands and push them to the blue colors.

So after a while the boys will have to suppress their love for pink and learn how to accept blue.
And after a few years, the boys will like blue and the pink will be cut away from their lives.
Social conditioning, tsk.

*Studies taken from the files of Felicia @ Babyware and seen through the eyes of Felicia.

We are all born to feel negatively, emotionally.
It's normal to feel sad and emo once in a while..
But be careful not to dwell in that pool of misery too much.
What if you sink too deep to get out?

We live in a 3-dimensional world.
And though now our problems seem to overwhelm us up from the left and right view,
sometimes you just need that someone to pull you up and see the top view of things.
Things aren't that big as they seem...
Suddenly things look easier to fix, no?

Things always appear how you want them to.
Happy = Happy incidents
Sad = Sad and unlucky things happen

I'm learning how to take things in my stride,
because after every storm/rain/drizzle will come a rainbow.
It is whether you'd want to lift up your head to see it or not.
Nooo I'm not getting sadistic and saying that Yes today I have a bad day but lalala it's okay bad day is still a good day oh hallelujah.
Non non, absolument pas. (poser hahaha)

I guess what I'm saying is that sometimes by seeing the unfortunate things as a learning thing, you might save yourself a few tears and heart ache.
And I don't know, I'm not so emo nowadays and I just thought I'd share the secret to my happier days.
I mean if there's nothing good to think about then I'd rather not.
But if it's good then share and spread the love (L)

I've been wanting something like this for a while but have never gotten round to buy it and woah, an angel blessed me with what I wanted! pretty hairband :)

1) Thanks Jy.

2) Need to stay home more to spend time with my family. Sorry mum for making you worried. Thanks dad for understanding. Shawn.. what happened? Eze I'll play Green TD with you. Marquis I'll start walking you again.

3) Flattered but no.

4) Felicia, grades aren't all that.

5) the destiny You have for me.

to hear Your voice

We are the sum total of the choices we've made in our lives,
who we are now is because of what we choose to let in and let out.
And over time, these things shape us.
Free will.

But at certain points in time,
we may need to make decisions so big that it will change our lives.
Imagine if you'd gone with this instead of that.
How would your life turn out?
I may have felt sad or angry but now I think I learn from them,
to become who I am today too.
So in a way, I am who I am because of the choices I didn't make..
if that makes sense.
*
& now,

just a simple decision of whether I should further my studies or stay in sg is proving harder to decide.

*
Pray.

Our hope is Yahweh, Yahweh

turn off the lights and listen to the song.
sing it out with all your heart, dance the dance He has given you.
no one's watching, just you and Yahweh.

Moments

OMG my dad's super funny i seriously LMAO-ed and ROFL-ed

My mac's batt was dying and I have this automated voice to warn me and so just now my dad was sitting beside me when the mac said 'you are now running on reserve battery power'

then my dad went 'huh what you say??????????????????' to my mac.

It was funny in the moment but now you're prolly scratching your head and thinking I need some sleep. You're right, I do. Good night.

"You are now running on reserve battery power"

*suppressed laughter*

Oh daddy thanks for always cracking me up.

Had a good time today at g-g-games night too! Wii was aweomse food was awesome people are awesome. One big word to sum it up: FAMILY.

"See, we make this way too complicated. If a guy likes you, he will let you know. End of story. Until that happens, you can go on being your classy, witty, and amazing self. When he finally shows up, he won’t think twice about asking you out, and all you’ll have to do is say yes."

Interesting Incident

Was working in babyware and so this chatty swedish lady and I got talking about baby products and all. Amazing how I can hold a conversation about baby products now.

Where was I? Oh yes, baby talk.

So our conversation went like this after she was telling me about her obedient and respectful little boy.

Me: Wow I wish my boy will be like that *thinking of the future*

Lady: *thinking of the 'now'* OH you have a boy huh? Sorry I couldn't tell butwellyouknowinthisagehahaha- how old are you, dear?

Me: Oh no no I'm 18 and I don't--

Lady: 18! Goodness you have a head start. So how old's your husband?

Me: I'm not married!

Lady: Oh it's alright it's becoming so common now we woman can raise a child on our own, I always tell my hubby hahahaha

Me: Yeah but it must be tiring.. This neck support cushion is comfortable for your boy, I'm sure he'll like it.

Lady: Hm yes he likes blue..... *touches the cushion*

Me: And it's $XX too. And I don't have a child.

Lady: Oh silly me! I thought you had. Mmm okay I'll buy it.. And that bib too for my grandson. He's in sweden now but he's part singaporean!

Random conversations like that amuse me so.

Uh-huh that's how bored I am at work sometimes.. (hint: visit babyware)

Haha but let me know if you're coming, I wouldn't want you catching me mid-daydream with my eyes glazed over and my mind light years away.

Not that I daydream often, of course. It's just sometimes there's nothing much to do so I stare into space and next thing you know I'm singing beside britney spears! Quite addictive, I must say.

So hi stephen if you're reading this, I don't mean to slack and when I'm not dreaming I'm 100% focused on the shop and baby products and customers :D go babyware!

In all honesty, I love babyware and I like to daydream.

I daydream we'd all be walking randomly and someone will talk a guitar out and start playing and someone sings in and we all dance jump laugh sing along. Like sound of music lol

I've been surviving because the joy of the Lord is my strength, and I'm recharged every night from spending time with You.

DOSE OF CHIO-NESS

another pair of ACNE wedge

rings! or should i say finger bracelets? lol

i'm contemplating buying this cors i'm looking for black wedges like that but i shouldn't waste money right?
but... but.
okay nevermind i shall not impulse shop.
*pats self on back*

I want to be brave(r)

"Superman isn’t brave. He is indestructible, indestructible people can’t be brave. It’s normal people who know that they can be crushed, but do it anyway, who are truly brave."

I thought I felt my heart break.
But after spending time talking or meeting with friends who are in their own way precious to me,
I know that things aren't that bad as I thought.
God's love flowed out of them to me.
They filled up my love bank haha thanks!

Yeah Jying, I'm looking around and counting my blessings.
And rachel xoxo nafa, don't run from it, you're stronger than you think :)

Feast today, for tomorrow we fight.

Time to nourish the body.

Banana + nutella + wholemeal bread (Y)

And wow am I one lucky girl or what, there's 2 bananas at home now

AND I've nutella AND wholemeal bread

Just my two cents worth,

I was thinking that now the food I eat tastes so bland and how am I gonna get the strength to get well if I keep skipping my meal due to poor appetite and therefore I conclude-

When you are sick, is the time when you should eat tasty and yummy food so that you can eat irregardless if your taste buds are hibernating or fighting wars with thousands of germs now and you will surely gobble up the food and food = energy = strength = fight off sickness = recover faster!

I think if I'm sick and I eat hospital food daily I would remain sick because I will have to force myself to eat and will not be happy and if I'm not happy then where will my will power to fight the sickness come from?

So I think that when you're sick you should be at your happiest and not being miserable in a cold dark danky room crying.

'cause being in sch even when I'm sick and seeing my friends being so concerned and nice to me = makes me happy = makes me feel better = recover faster!

Sometimes the people we love just forget to love us back.

My cry

People are gonna disappoint you. I get that… I kind of expect that. But I don’t know. What if you wake up one day and realize that you’re the disappointment?

Well, learn from this, buck up and keep moving. I can't just kill myself because of a setback.
I need You so much more, I can do so little alone.
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord.

BE PRODUCTIVE. MAKE O-M-G S'MORE BARS

Recipe:

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 king-sized milk chocolate bars (e.g. Hershey’s)
1 1/2 cups marshmallow creme/fluff (not melted marshmallows)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light. Beat in egg and vanilla. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt. Add to butter mixture and mix at a low speed until combined. Divide dough in half and press half of dough into an even layer on the bottom of the prepared pan. Place chocolate bars over dough. 2 king-sized Hershey’s bars should fit perfectly side by side, but break the chocolate (if necessary) to get it to fit in a single layer no more than 1/4 inch thick. Spread chocolate with marshmallow creme or fluff. Place remaining dough in a single layer on top of the fluff (most easily achieved by flattening the dough into small shingles and laying them together). Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool completely before cutting into bars.

Makes 16 cookie bars.

MM-MMMM. I SHALL MAKE THEM ON FRI/SUN/MON

we, are family

On a completely random note, my dad once (accidentally, I think) said:

'Hey why don't you turn on the window and close the fans?'

LOL he says it every time now so recently I just leave my windows open and my fan off so when he walks into my room to check on me, he'll always have a chance to say that.

Does no good looking in the past.

That's it, I'm throwing some things out

Thought-bubble:

I have loads to say, but they're all stuck in my head.

I can look at you and think of a million things I wanna say to you,

but once I actually get my chance to speak,

the million things get stuck in my head and refuse to become sound.

So in the end I can only sit there waiting and hoping you'll start the conversation first.

After a while you'll probably think I'm boring or zoning out,

while inside I'm bursting to share the beauty and excitement of life with you.

It takes me a while b4 I can open up to you and slowly one by one the cluttered things in my head will start streaming out day by day until they're all out and this time, I'd really be out of things to say. But by then we would've been friends and friends don't need to talk all the time to remain friends.

Today, we had a substitute in class. Right before she began to call the roll, everyone in my class decided that we were gonna say "chop" when our name was called. She started calling everyone's name and was confused at first about our responses, but soon went along with it. When the very last person's name was called, instead of saying "chop" he replied "timber!" and we all fell out of our seats. Easily the best homeroom ever. MLIA

'CORS I JUST SET THEM UP, JUST SET THEM UP, JUST SET THEM UP, TO KNOCK 'EM DOWN DOWN D-D-DOWN*

Wow super cr8tive, these people.

The fun theory, where they make the simple things in life more fun to do.

Wish someone is singapore would do something like that,

then maybe our kiasu-ness or laziness will slowly change.

Have been getting increasingly annoyed at public transport lately. It's either my patience is wearing thin or some singaporeans just loove pushing and squeezing their way through like they'll just die of hunger if they don't get on board the train first. Makes me want to put on a helmet and yell 'CHARGE!' every time the train doors open. And now I'm all fired up to rant.

Take. A. Deep. Breath.

*Listening to starstrukk now, liking the whistles much.

Hey Jying, what was that new John Grisham book you were telling me about?

Something about brothers.

The brother?

Hahaha okay shall stop teasing you,

you say 'brethren' just fine :D

Had a lovely time with you on tues, sushi and all <3

Daiso photos up soon hehe

Today, I was walking around my friend's neighborhood, where I spotted two girls trying to flirt with a boy who looked a lot like Robert Pattinson by quoting Twilight. I interrupted them by tackling the boy from behind, screaming, "Cedric!". He turned around to see me and my Asian features, and hugged me back, screaming, "Cho!" I got his number. MLIA

Mind filter

If it ain't good, delete it.
You're worth better thoughts in your head.
We've limited space in our minds, don't waste that.

"What if the water that came out of the shower was treated with a chemical that responded to a combination of things, like your heartbeat, and your body temperature, and your brain waves, so that your skin changed color according to your mood? If you were extremely excited your skin would turn green, and if you were angry you'd turn red, obviously, and if you felt like shiitake you'd turn brown, and if you were blue you'd turn blue.

Everyone could know what everyone else felt, and we could be more careful with each ohter, because you'd never want to tell a person whose skin was purple that you're angry at her for being late, just like you would want to pat a pink person on the back and tell him, "Congratulations!"

Another reason it would be a good invention is that there are so many times when you know you're feeling a lot of something, but you don't know what the something is. Am I frustrated? Am I actually just panicky? And that confusion changes your mood, it becomes your mood, and you become a confused, gray person. But with the special water, you could look at your orange hands and think, I'm Happy! That whole time I was actually happy! What a relief! "
