'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,

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

Random stuff that all fits in so beautifully and seamlessly.

Like, life.

Also I want to give a big thank you to doreen, renee and hannah for being so patient and helpful with me when I'm slow in maya and all that. I really appreciate you guys, awesome friends!
THANK YOU

...to hear myself think.

"It took me some time to realize this, but sometimes, what you want isn't always what you get, but in the end what you get is so much better than what you wanted."

On a side note:

So recently a lot of people have been talking at once and sometimes it overwhelms me when all I want is some peace and quiet but no, they keep on talking and I can't help but feel so frustrated that I feel like just shouting. But that would add to the noise and so I just scream to the inside of myself. Everyone wants to be heard, I get that. Me too. But gosh what I'll give for some peace and tranquility, just for a moment...

up all night,

got demons to fight.

\m/

i can't wait to play stone scissors paper hehe i'll put out the ultimate: SUPER LETHAL TWIN-BLADED SAMURAI SWORD.

One of my resolutions for 2010 is to spend more time with my family.
I really miss my family a lot because I haven't been home much to spend good quality time with 'em.
I'm esp really blessed to have parents like mine who will trust and support me in whatever I do..
Thanks dad for picking me up at 3am even though you're not feeling well.
Thanks mom for always so readily supporting and caring for me.
I wanna really cherish my family!
*so grateful for them now sob*
Okay steamboat's on me now that I've got my pay!

okay.

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there were one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from
anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.

So I said to the Lord,
"You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during
the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one
set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most,
you have not been there for me?"

The Lord replied,
"The times when you have
seen only one set of footprints in the sand,
is when I carried you."

Have you read this story?

I love it, even as a child I would read and smile for the whole day.

But through the years I got so caught up in things, got so busy with life that I forgot this simple but true story.

Last night I got reminded of it..

The Lord replied,
"The times when you have
seen only one set of footprints in the sand,

is when I carried you.

wow.

HELLO 2010

2009 has been a year of ups and downs.
Maybe more downs than up but I'm not complaining.
It has strengthened me, made me who I am.
Let me learnt important lessons,
let me form relationships that will always have a place in my heart.

I've cried a lot but I've laughed a lot too.
I thank God for 2009, for the good... and for helping me get through the bad.

I'm excited for this new year,
another milestone crossed,
more lessons to learn,
more reasons to be merry,
more time with the people close to me.

hello Change,
I welcome you.


grow.

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'

and when he runs to hug his parents.
AWWWW

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
