New Directions

Ever since I started watching Glee, I'm all about new directions.

& last week I got reminded of this;

Luke 5:37,38 No one puts new wine into old wineskins, or else the new wine will burst the skins, and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed. But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.

Well, I'm stepping out in faith to a new blogspot to venture into some of the things that I really wanna do (fashion stuff and some of my pictures/videos) but never quite had the guts.

See you there ;)

It's been awhile since I blogged.

It's been 3 days since I was last in the cyber world!

Here's a quick diary thing on how I passed my time without the good ol' internet.

Day 1:

I actually feel pretty lost on the first day.

Oh no I'm an addict I can't do without my daily fix on online blogs and shops and facebook and hotmail and google.

Jia lat man, if the world comes to an end, food will be one of the last things on people minds. Which will be good because I get to hog the food muahaha

But just think, if the world did come to an end soon, what will be the one thing that you can't do without?

Your blackberry, your mobile phone, your laptop or your mascara?

One thing in common: they need internet connection/wire signals and I have a hunch that when the world is going to the dogs, there will not be such signals for us to connect to. (I just realized mascara don't need any signals but haha it's all I can think of now even if I don't use a mascara)

So basically our phones are left with the snakes II game and our laptops will be left with the photobooth function. (it actually sounds fun. you can turn on photobooth on reflection mode and so it's like there's 2 people and you're playing snakes II with someone else when it actual fact it's just you alone hiding in a dark cave)

Hm okay maybe I'll give glee a second watch since I have it in my laptop.

Day 2:

Uh-oh I might become a potential glee addict cors after watching the first few episodes I actually realized it's not as boring or normal as I thought it was!

Okay lesson learnt; never judge a book on it's cover, never judge a show by its first episode. Got it.

So lalala, I survived pretty well. But I can't help thinking about facebook, hotmail and the shoe spree. I want new shoes.

Day 3:

Went for dinner with my family for the first time in a long time.

Last few dinners I didn't go with them cors I was tired. What an excuse I just wanted to use my laptop all night long. Guilty as charged. So anyway I had a gr8 dinner with them and okay I shall not skip family dinners for the internet ever again!

Eating sushi and tea with my funny family beats going on fashion toast or drooling over black wedges.

Day 4:

I'm in the office now where the internet is quite reliable and hi doreen, I like your pretty hearts jacket!

So after 3 days of not going online, the first tabs I opened today were what else- facebook hotmail and shoe spree lol

Seeing all the updates, it's like the world went on without me.

But no matter cors I'm back!

I think Imma go watch some youtube now.

Ezekiel: Ha

Me: Ha

Ezekiel: Ha

Me: Ha

Ezekiel: Ha

Me: Ha

Both: HAHAHAHAHA

He was tryna laugh at a joke I made when we were watching ninja warrior and I think this laughter thing became funnier than my joke -.-

Painted my nails purple! Left side leopard pink spots, right side pink zebra stripes lol

Hey don't go looking at me like I'm some weirdo now, it seemed like a good idea at 12 midnight!

(maybe I shouldn't paint my nails during 12 midnight again)

I'm doing a quick edit of something and I'll post it up when I'm done!

wonderland

dreams are funny little things aren't they?

no i'm not talking about the dreams vision goal kinda dream.

i'm talking 'bout errbody getting crunk crunk-

(okay i should stop associating all my sentences to 'tik tok' lol)

i'm talking about dreams you get during your sleep, where your body shuts down and your mind is like an engine charging and revving and testing the road for the next day ahead.

i wonder if the totally random dreams do link to what you might have been thinking of but you were totally unaware of!

i've been having crazy dreams like alien cats attacking me and then me being chased by a monster and me flying off escalators and overhead bridges for my safety

does this mean that somewhere through out my day,

my mind has subconsciously thought of pehaps alien cats or monsters or superhuman powers?

or maybe dreams are just random.

i don't think i think about alien cats or overhaed bridges or escalators when i'm awake...

i think.

alice in wonderland, disney version!

i watched it and this is my fave part. it's so quirky and weird yet entertaining and true.

'now statistics prove that you have one birthday, one birthday every year, ah but there are 364 un-birthdays!'

'If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?' Alice.

Happy Unbirthday to you! :)

(unless of course, it's your actual bday)

nuit blanche

i'm in love with the effects and sound.

one day....

I think it has come to the point where I have too many things to put on this blog that I don't know what to put up next.

Well I've got to start from somewhere;

Paramore concert with rachel NP. Sure it's not the same but we had loadsa fun air guitaring and jumping around singing (screaming/screeching) to hayley's power voice.

"All I wanted was youuuuuu..."

Yowza.

p r e v i e w

pic spam

i didn't have keys so i sat outside waiting for my family to be home whilst drinking pink dolphin and listening to marquis howl

founders of sg. haha

day out with natasha :)

apple chips that became soft and squishy afterwards
still tastes good. honest.

i wanted to upload more pics but look at the time, i'm almost l8 for internship.

off to work i go!

'Dont trust anything that bleeds for 5 days and stays alive'?

I was reading somewhere that every girl should have a self-defense plan in mind,

so that if the need ever arises we won't be caught off-guard and victimized.

I stopped what I was doing at that time (watching tap dance vids on youtube) to get my plan ready.

I'm not gonna tell you what my self-defense plans are because it is top secret stuff and it might be dangerous if this gets into the wrong hands but I will have you know that it obviously involves a punch to the nose then an elbow to the neck then maybe if I can, a kick to the nuts and then a tap dance to celebrate and then another kick to the shins and then tap dance my way out of danger because the poor dude will be lying on the floor in agony by the time I tap-tap-tap my jazzy feet to the police station.

I need to learn tap dance first, of course. But that's one minor major detail *waves it off

So you see why I need to keep my fighting plan top-secret.

The thug won't know I'm going to give him a punch to the nose then an elbow to the neck then maybe if I can, a kick to the nuts and then a tap dance to celebrate and then another kick to the shins and then tap dance my way out of danger because the poor dude will be lying on the floor in agony by the time I tap-tap-tap my jazzy feet to the police station.

Deadly deadly stuff, no?

He won't know what hit him!

1% INSPIRATION

99% PERSPIRATION

Ba da ba ba da ba ba da

Everyone has a blog these days. Some use it to inspire people while some others write about their personal lives and for some others it's a little of both combined. Makes me wonder what my blog is for. I mean I wanted to keep it personal with updates of myself and the people around me and the pictures or quotes that inspires me. Write about my day or write about the latest fashion happenings in new york fashion week without having people think I'm trying too hard. But no matter how personal I want it to be, it is still out on the net and the net is a public place. Anyone can read it and judge it. I can't write good articles as much as I like and the photos aren't as good either. And I realize I like keeping things fairly private so it's for only the people I know e.g school and church friends. Which explains the people on facebook I have yet to accept as friends simply because I have never seen their faces before or we do not have enough mutual friends. I used to like it though, receiving messages from total weird strangers that made me feel special and 'loved'. But not anymore. I understand my self-worth, I'm loving myself more. Guarding the good things in, keep the bad out :) And this has no link to what I've just typed but I have been getting inspired a lot and ideas I have been getting. I shall post them up on my blog after I'm done with them! Mainly videos and picture stuff but we'll see where it takes me to. I'm excited after typing that line out, oh, if you could only see my face now but you can't- that's the internet for you.

I did a good deed last week,

I bought shoes for a child who really needs them!
Well, okay, I didn't exactly do that
but I did buy Soule FlipFlops and when you buy one from them, they give a pair of shoes to kids without shoes in china.
And my slippers are just $15.90 O_o
Just that little bit of money and you make a difference in a child's life.

Shoes are soo important (you have no idea how much I value shoes) and to think there are people out there who cannot afford to buy themselves shoes. Iamgine what their feet go through; mud, sharp grass, coarse sand, rubbish, glass- even just walking on concrete floor on a scortching sunny day and your feet will burn and blister. But then again, how can I help right? I'm just a 19 year old studying in sheltered singapore getting money here and there from parents and babyware. But now I get the chance to improve a kid's life! Spending $15.90 was never so worth it.
And this is just their first item they're selling. (only 300 pairs of slippers available: LIMITED EDITION and I have it muahaha)
I can't wait for when they actually sell the shoes!

& I know it's not easy for Jingying, justine and john as they are still students too but what they're doing is life-changing and you should see their dedication to the needy children in china. Plenty of sleepless nights they had just to make Selfless Shoes possible.
Jia you SELFLESS SHOES
wo hui yong yuan zhi chi ni men!

I've got my slippers I've got my slippers I've got my Soule Sole for a Soul Selfless Shoes Flip Flops I've got 'em!
what/. are/. you/. waiting/. for/.?!?!?!/.

P.S don't ask why the slippers became a necklace in that photo, don't ask.

too true!

Remember ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

He was such a talented creative. I was looking forward to his latest collection.

He was one of the only designers I bothered to follow.

But one week after his mother's death,

he committed suicide.

I am sad.

Not just because he's gone;

also because he chose to escape through death.

But death can't solve anything because it isn't the solution in the first place.

Northen lights, norther heights

I happened to google aurora borealis and found these breath-taking pictures.

The splendor of the king.

So beautiful

What else to expect from a beautiful creator

Good night, beautiful people

Carpe Diem

One thing I've learnt for the past 19 years of my life

is to never let things slip by.

There are very rare moments where things will happen again.

If you feel like giving someone a big smile,

do it.

Who knows if your smile might make a person's day?

If you feel like singing a song,

sing it.

Who knows when you might remember to sing it?

If you feel like telling someone you love them,

say it.

I don't ever want it to be too late.

Was reminded to cherish the people around you now because life is so unexpected, though goodbye on earth is inevitable but we have eternity.

But why does every horrid dream seem so real, so-

I don't know oh god I don't know

I only know it makes me want to love more.

deeper in love

I know I'm safe with You, bad dreams can't do nothing to me

kiss the frogs, will find prince

Look at my shadow under my arms.

It's like it has a mind of its own an it doesn't want to go straight.

Some changes-

cut my hair

shawn cut it

wake up in the morning feeling like p.diddy

proceeded to dye my hair

had no time

color is dark but i'm happy

orangey-red

i like it

super tired now

prod plan still not done

need miracle

one of those days where you feel lousy

everything i wear feels wrong

a bit sick

will get better

my days will get better.

no longer;

Mistakes and regrets can haunt you for the rest of your life.

But only if

you

let

them

.

Life is too short to live in fear.. I wanna do the best I can now and not hold back!

Proj submission deadline is next week, chiong!

Then it's CNY and valentines' day hehe

then I'm flying off to bangkok for quality time with my mom :)

We shall bond over the airplane, hotel stay, tom yum, cheap buys, beef noodles by the road and noisy tuk-tuks. Mmmmmm. (Y)

Good morning.

1) Where the wild things are- want to watch it!

2) Thanks Celia :) note to self: pass Celia her present.

3) Dace spring- i like pictures & colors like that.

4) Black cat for my name card? Haha still thinking about it.

My mom just bought some super cool awesome crunchy cereals with real fruits inside and to go along with it, HL milk in original AND chocolate so I have two flavours to choose from!

One of my most exciting breakfast moments in history.

Eat it on my table facing the window facing the west coast sea place thingy facing the sun facing the blue sky, and it's like having breakfast with God.

Then when I'm finished, I shall read a book facing the window facing the west coast sea place thingy facing the- you get the drift- and read next to God while He goes about doing His daily majestic plans.

Otters hold hands when they sleep so they don't drift away from each other.

It's a natural survival instinct for them.

So hold on to the friends whom you love so that even when we're sleeping or busy,

we won't drift away :)

Well I heard there was a secret chord.

lastly,
read this,
VERY IMPORTANT.

flipbook

i like the pictures.
would be nice to keep a scrapbook like that.
i need to learn how to keep stuff going.
even my organizer is only half-used because i only use it when i remember to.
consistency.

--

is it just me or do the recent festivities of the seasons seem.. duller?
like with CNY approaching, i don't feel as excited as i should.
suddenly it ain't sucha big deal to me.
life's changed, priorities too.
CHC's new building, now that's a thrill.

is this what it means to grow up?
that sometimes in the process, you lose the novelty?
maybe's that's why some grown-ups don't shout or jump as much no more..
unless you're in a heinkein ad. hah

i'm 19, one more year b4 i lose my 'teen' years.
i don't feel 19.
how are 19 year olds supposed to feel anyway?
i don't really wanna grow up.
growing up means bills and career and politics and taxes and what not.
i will then know the real world.
but the world is cruel.
i know.

i'm glad to have God with me.
'and yea, though i walk through the valley of death
i shall fear no evil'

Puzzle pieces are made to fit each other in the end.

WOW hear this beautiful symphony of songs,

you be the composer.

Go to this website, play the videos however way you want,

then take a deep breath and close your eyes.

Random stuff that all fits in so beautifully and seamlessly.

Like, life.
