Peach

I remember the first time we saw you running around in that little box. And I just knew I had to bring you home. It was love at first sight. You were our precious little one and my very first pet.

Tiny yet super mischevious, you would hide yourself under the wheel and curl yourself up into a ball. Your favourite spot is in that cosy little house where you rest your tired little feet in. Whenever you hear the "jingly" sound coming from the food container, you'll happily make your way to the "door" knowing that there's food for you. I love how you snatch your treats from our fingers and then quietly...you'll sneak away and munch on your goodies at the corner of your beautiful cage. *nibble*nibble*

How cute. =)

Remember how we found out that you were not the little girl we thought you were? You were our brave boy Peachy.

I watched you grew. Although sometimes you'll irritate the shit out of me coz you were exceptionally noisy at night. Blame it on the wheel. But everytime I come home in the evening, it was so nice to know that you had a great sleep during the day and you were back to your hyper active self. I would call your name but you'll ignore me and continued running around the wheel, taking sips of water...having your favourite seeds.

It's been a month now that you're gone but you're never forgotten.

You will always be my precious little creature and I love you.

You're my first and my only;
But you left me in tears oh so lonely.
The joy you brought me I'll always remember.
Etched in my heart, you'll stay forever...

Dearest Peach...

How could I face the faceless days

If I should lose you now?

We’re so close

To reaching that famous happy end

And almost believing this was not pretend

Let’s go on dreaming for we know we are

So close

So close

And still so far

-So Close by Jon McLaughlin

I miss you dearly.

And so...

I'm at home now.
Gonna see the doctor later... my stomach has been upset since last Sunday.
Am always having this gastro-i-dunno-how-to-spell problem recently.
I painted my nails black out of fun. Looks totally horrendous coz I've painted it only on one side.
Called up a few tuition agency. Hopefully I get some students. What is phonics by the way? errm.
My sister's on her hols right now and she's been bugging me to help her find a job. If you guys know of any, please tell me.
It's a few days to the 1st. That'll be exactly one month. I miss you.
I wanna go blading!
It's no good now the whole system in my body.. my period pains are not helping.
I'm upset coz the IT fair is in 2 days and I can't fulfill my Xmas wish of getting a camera. no $$$.
Can't wait for the next movie with Bestie. =)
I was the joke of the day on email chat with the bunch yesterday. Told them something about me that was really embarrassing. I bet they look silly laughing at the computer screen in the office. ha ha ha.
Fred Claus is nice. Brought me to tears. Please go and watch it if you guys haven't caught it yet. Was really heart-warming. I seldom cry in movies.. the last time I cried was watching 200 pounds beauty.
Friendster/Facebook is an outlet for desperate men to conjure up lame pick up lines. bah.
I've got fine lines under my eye. It's not pretty ok.
I will be waking up at 6am to go jogging this Saturday morning with Ryan. OMG siao right? Fret not. I got stamina CAN.
Msn-ing an ex girlfriend and telling her you miss her is not funny. You are attached for goodness sake. What's with men nowadays??? Just because I am single doesn't mean I am open to ANY relationship.

me : I gave up hope on dating.
Shifu : I am going to save this email chat and bring it up as and when needed.
me : ..... shit.
Shifu : wahahahahhaa~!!!

ok off to the doctor.

ciao.

Dearest you guys...

The DB team wowed the crowd
And made Singapore proud
In peaceful heaven now you may be
Look down and you'll see
Each and every tear shed
We miss you and you know that.

Yours sincerely,
Diana

*sighs* I'm still very much deeply affected by this saddened tragedy. Teared a little last night while watching the news and can't help but wonder why did this unfortunate incident have to befall on them. I logged on to Friendster and saw hundreds of condolences messages on their profile pages.

To all their family memebers and close friends, be strong.

Girls night out. =)

An evening spent with this darling babe of mine is nothing but pure fun, with loads of cam-whoring, endless bitching, yummy food, lovely movie, late night walks, 24hr Coffee Club,crazy ideas,shopping blah blah blah.

We had such a fantabulous time together and before we knew it, it was already dawn.

Pictures speak a thousand words.

*p/s : click on view show if it takes too long to load.

Sighs. I think I'm not fated to spend Xmas with someone I love. You know, I've never enjoyed X'mas eve with any of my ex-boyfriends before. I'm serious. There is just bound to be something up(even if I'm attached) whenever Christmas is around the corner. SO basically, my love life is quite f-ed up when the year comes to a closure. Now that I'm off the relationship hook for quite some time, and there's like no one in my life currently, 2007's Christmas might just be a little different afterall-yeap. No strings attached. =) I'd most prob spend it with some close friends, makan or something.

Enchanted is oh-so-magical with the perfect touch of sweetness. I am so gonna get the OST. I added a love track in my playlist. Enjoy it you lovebirds out there. heart.


And since this year's theme is all about magic...

I shall hence make an enchanted wish. =)




"I've been dreaming of a true love's kiss
And a prince, I'm hoping, comes with this
That's what brings ever-aftering so happy
That's the reason we need lips so much
For lips are the only things that touch
So to spend a life of endless bliss
Just find who you love through true love's kiss"

- Enchanted OST ( Amy Adam's True Love's Kiss)

Prayers.

Life is so unpredictable.

My deepest condolences to the family members and close friends of the 5 Singaporean dragon boaters whose bodies were finally found yesterday afternoon. Latest report here.

One of the deceased happens to be Shifu's friend's team mate.Till now, he still cannot get over the fact that he survived and unable to accept that his best pal is no longer around...

Sighs.

They were all so young.

A one minute silence for them please.

I'd pray that you guys will find happiness in another world...

Good bye.

Human. Superficial?

Men have never been anything other than visual creatures. And women, just like men are social creatures too. I mean, you wouldn't want to actually date someone who's not aesthetically pleasing even though you might find him/her attractive in some other ways right?

It's the age old debate of whether looks are secondary or not. And don't freaking tell me character ranks first above looks because I'd most probably laugh right at your face and point you-BLUFF. After living on this materialistic/superficial era for the past 22 years, I'd darely proclaim that the world is a BITCH.

How many of you out there deny a person on the first impression because of their looks. Everyone. Handsdown. Even if you were the ugliest person on earth, you would still have some sort of an expectation. It's still up to date quite unexplainable this visual communication thingy. Try selling a magazine with the front cover splashed with a not so pretty average model. Tell me, who will buy the magazine? Which is why till now, I still have not seen any local/foreign magazine featuring plus size models. They might do it for one issue, but in the long run it is gonna affect their sales. And why? Because Human love anything pretty. It's the same everywhere. A pretty graduate and an average Jane who got her honours, both went for the same interview and both submitted impressive resumes. There is no need to spell out who got the job. DUH.

WHY WHY WHY? Why do we need to please the human eye by appearing as beautiful? Crappy old saying that Beauty is only skin deep. So not true! BUSTED.

Anyway, the reason why I am at this topic was because of my Mum and a recent newspaper article. This UK couple's migration plans was rejected by immigration officials in New Zealand because.... THEY WERE TOO FAT! What the officials said was that them being obese will put a strain to their health resources. And the couple had no choice but to work on their BMI! Read the full story here.

And what has my mum got to do with it? As usual lah, she was nagging at my atrocious huge waist and elephant thighs. She wants me to be pretty.

Mum : "Diana... you only got 5 more years to be pretty and slim... by the time you are reaching your late 20s who want to look at you somemore?"
Me : "I so fat meh?"
Mum : "Stop thinking that you are not fat! I give birth to you.. so sweet..so pretty.. last time so slim.. now you don't even love your own body!!!"
Me : "...................."

That few comments kinda hit me though. Which explains my sudden enthusiasm to go jogging and eat healthily. True isn't it? I've only got 5 years max to look chio and if I'm not gonna watch my weight right now, wait till when I'm 30? Hell no.

Well, you'll see the change. Soon really. It's gonna be the-SEXY-23 yr old blogging in a few months time.

It's Finally Friday~! REJOICE.

I had a tiring and stressful week. But definitely a fruitful one! Met up with lovely Theowee and Lei at our usual place-Vivo. My upcoming weekend is even more happening!!! Ryan's BBQ party tomorrow : Hangout at Mt.Emily ( I heard the hotel's rooftop has an amazing ambience). Woo woot!! Exciting. I love to check out new places in tiny Singapore. You never know when you will bump into an ulu cafe in the middle of no where which serves the best seafood soup or mouth-watering desserts ( Ok, I was referring to Mr Bean's at Selegie Road. They serve the best seafood soup. YUMMY. ) I should start blogging about those fancy places I've made merry at.

Oh yes,

To all the ladies who keeps complaining about their flabs and to all the men in need of some ego boost about their built : Make full use of this weekend and engage in some healthy activities. No jogging partner? Fret not. Try climbing your HDB stairs... or maybe do some sit ups at the comfort of your own home... or you can start by going for a 3 day detox! Drink plenty of water and munch on more vegetables. Oh oh, and weekends doesn't mean more partying and "later late nights" ya.

THE NEW YOU, STARTS TODAY! *muacks*



p/s : Cam-whoring,Enchanted and Xin Wang with Bestie later. CAN'T WAIT! =)

S.O.S

I swear I am applying for the June's intake after my bloody contract ends in april.

I FUCKING HATE MY JOB.

Hate the bitch sitting behind me.
Hate the oh-so-damn-boring jobscope.
Hate the stupid emails.
Hate that alien-headed (shifu calls him that) superior.
Hate the tight security.
Hate EVERYTHING LAH.

From the stupid smelly chair to the disgusting microwave and the ugly mirrors in the toilet.

This place has nothing but bad memories. ARGH.

Ohmygod~

I AM PISSED.

Blabbers as usual

//edit

I was surfing Facebook and I nearly choked on reading what an ex "ticked" in those boxes for me to confirm friend details.



Why complicated? I don't get it. Complicated means we are kinda still entangled till now. But we're not! What if his girlfriend sees it? He's mad lah.

And no, obviously I didn't approve.


**

Got home early yesterday and decided to go for a slow jog around the neighbourhood. The ground was pretty wet so I guess no one wants to come out. Thus, I had the whole track to myself . My surroundings was nothing more than just breeze and rustling of leaves. Serene. =) So I started brisk walking to pump up the heart beat and then began to jog. It was a good decision to leave my Ipod at home. When you jog, you can hear your own rhythemic breathing, feel your body exerting energy as you lift up your legs and move forward. Exercising releases some sort of enzymes in your body so you'll feel "light" and tension-free after your workout. True enough. That 45min jog I had was pleasantly therapeutic.

Been stressing over the application of my degree... wondering should I go full time or continue as a part time student. Like I mentioned before, I hate to regret not being able to enjoy my life as a student-something which I really miss in my younger school days. I know I have been whining about this ever since god knows when but it's HELL tiring to hold a job and study at the same time. I have been working for the past 3 damn years mind you.

PROS and CONS.

If I choose to be a full-time student, it'll definitely be a cut in my spending ability. See this is the time when long term savings comes to good use. Yah, but it's not like I saved a lot of money.

aiyah I don't know lah.

I'm left with 3 months till Febuary'08 to decide. This is SO SO SO maddening.




ARGHHHHH.

*sheepishly* I'm such a glutton can.

I have been feasting on MacDonald's breakfast for the past two mornings. I can't help it!! It's toOOOoooOOoooo devour-licious.

*YUM*

The Love of my tastebuds :

SAUSAGE MCMUFFIN with EGG!!!



I usally eat it dipped with McDonald's curry sauce. 2 packets to be exact.(alright i am weird.)

It's D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S. Handsdown.



For the love of SME, I looked up on the history of this heavenly breakfast.

The Egg McMuffin is the signature breakfast sandwich sold by the fast-food restaurant chain McDonald's. The McMuffin is also a family of breakfast sandwiches in various sizes and configurations. In the US and Canada the standard McMuffin consists of a slice of Canadian bacon, a grill-cooked egg, and a slice of cheese on an English muffin.
-from wikipedia

Product variants :
In Canada -(Sausage McMuffin with Egg) A sausage patty is substituted for the Canadian bacon.
In Aussie -(Massive McMuffin) Ketchup, bacon, egg, American cheese and two sausage patties
In Singapore -(Sausage McMuffin™ with Egg) Sumptuous chicken sausage and an egg done sunny side-up served between perfectly toasted muffins.

You can never go wrong with stuffs from fredflare.com. Absolute cuteness.


Enjoy the weekends eh. =)

I am feeling depressed.

I hate this.

My heart hurts...

Just today...

Been far away for far too long

Heroes

Last night, Channel 5 aired a 2-hr special on the first season of America's TV hit drama series - Heroes.



AWESOMENESS.

Alright alright, I'm kinda "outdated" raving about the show now(bet most have heard/already watching Season 2). I knew it was on Star World loongggg agoooo but was too lazy to find out the time slots.

NICE SHOW! NICE NICE NICE!



Plot Outline: They thought they were like everyone else... until they woke with incredible abilities.

Catch HEROES on Channel 5, every Monday-10pm.

And if I could be a Hero...

I would want to be empowered with the ability to control the human iniquitous tongue.

That organ is vicious. Because words can kill.

Neurotic Monday

Seems like only yesterday when I first started school at MDIS.

Mr Sans(he's my favourite lecturer!) just rang me up minutes ago to inform me that my final oral presentation is being pushed forward to this Friday instead of next. YAY. And after this Friday, I officially complete my whole course.

Happy~ Sha la la~ It's so nice to be happy~!! Sha la la~

=)

I'm smiling right now. Really. Yah I know it's only a damn dip cert but this little acheivement is something that I'm proud of-I earned it all by myself. You fortunate peeps out there may never know how it feels like to pay for your own education, but nevertheless, CONGRATS ME CAN.

Oh yes,

He also said that my written report and research was very well done! (more reasons to jump for joy.)

weeeeeeeee~~

Another piece of good news?

Shifu's FINALLY ATTACHED. ohmygawd. Took him ancient years to pop the 'girlfriend question' . Am glad our box searching, cake baking, card finding, grocery shopping ended in a perfect L.O.V.E beginning.

**

p/s: I just told the bunch about this tiny good news. Yes lei, we should go out and celebrate after Shifu's back from Vietnam. And theowee's on the flight back to SG. woot~! ( qianying if you see this, drop me an sms! I doubt I'll be logging in MSN tonight. Wanna know if you are safe.)

p/p/s: And to all those mugging right now, jiayou. Shoutout to Mark(if you are reading this, but I doubt so coz you're hell busy ), after NUS decides to let you off from all the horrible datelines and stressing exams, we'll have our wayyy overdue coffee session. Your treat.

Alrighty, back to borrrrinnnggggg work. I'm falling asleep. Damn it.

The fool.

傻瓜
by Landy 温岚

其实他做的坏事我们都懂
没有什么不同
眼光闪烁暧昧流动
闭上眼当作听说

其实别人的招数我们都懂
没有什么不同
故作软弱
撒娇害羞
只是有一点别扭

傻瓜也许单纯地懂
爱得没那么做作
爱上了我不保留

(Chorus)

傻瓜 我们都一样
fools we are all the same
被爱情伤了又伤
hurt by love over and over again
相信这个他不一样
believing that this him is different
却又再一次受伤
yet once again the heart got broken

傻瓜 我们都一样
fools we are all the same
受了伤却不投降
so hurt but never concede defeat
相信付出会有代价
a price to pay for going all out
代价只是一句傻瓜
that price is only but a word - fool


The lyrics tugged at my heartstrings...esp the chorus part.

Heartstrings: noun
1) obsolete : a nerve once believed to sustain the heart
2) the deepest emotions or affections.


**


Maybe it's the wrong place to be
To love and be loved ain't meant for me
Did I not use a proper heart tool
Or am I just your regular fool...

Just me.

I'm pretty much tired right now. Again another sleepless night. Waking up at 5am to realise your alarm clock has re-positioned itself is scary. I wonder how many times did I wake up to check on the time.

So, I woke up this morning with both my eyes swollen like they have been tearing the whole night. But I don't remember crying over anything.

Something is bothering me.

And no, it's not insomnia.

Maybe I'm tiring myself too much because of my over paranoia self. I lie down, try to close my eyes, and my mind refuses to shut. Thoughts of this issue, that past incident, next future happenings keep replaying over and over again in that neuron-filled tofu matter of mine. It's bloody sickening.

Am I the only 22 year old suffering from senior citizens health ailment? I hope not.

It's very unhealthy this insomnia shit. Is it due to my diet? Getting too fat? Not enough exercise? But hell, I've been eating well(OK maybe not very well, but still.) and have been doing simple workouts at home like light skipping. Or maybe my unhealthy body is adjusting itself to healthier months ahead. Aiyah, I don't know lah. (Note the irony here. I'm worrying again. arghh.)

Let me rant. Thanks.

I'm uber sick of waking up early in the morning to report to work. I hate the working life. I hate the morning madness. I hate thinking of piles of paper work and sending endless emails and writing reports and at the end of the day, I learnt - NOTHING. I don't want to work anymore.

10 years down the road,I don't want to think back on my unaccomplished dreams and go "Damn, if only I had..." I don't wish to regret. But it's not easy to just push aside everything and heed on with your dreams. Dreams are selfish and pumped with ego-filled ambitions. They are only but bubbles of wishful thinking to keep you going on in your damned,pathetic-slogging life. But reality needs dreams. Without dreams, there wouldn't be people striving so hard to reach to the top.

I have dreams. I dream alot.

Maybe I should drop back to reality and start filtering my 1001 dreams. I need baby steps... I need to set a short-term goal. I need to induce myself with motivation and start banishing my ol' bad habits.

Darn, I need a new me.

"Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm"

Deepavali

YAY. Public holiday. A day designed for 'people-who-hate-to-work' to have an exclusive 24hr break. I mean, who doesn't like a PH? Every Singaporean would want to hang out and destress. I bet I'll have to squeeze through throngs of people in Town later on.

It's gonna be fun fun fun with the bunch later. We'll turn my kitchen upside down with the cheese and the crust and the grinding and beating...and I promise I'll cook the most yummiest Cha Jang Myeon.

No idea what are we doing?

shhhhh. Secret.

But it was crazy at Vivo last night. We went grocery shopping and we(or should I say me) were pushing the 'Giant' trolley around the whole Vivo. It was dumb lah. We forgot to get some stuffs from Daiso and had to make use of the trolley 'coz I bought a new oven(very cheap!) and it was bulky to hand carry it. So we took the lift back to the 3rd floor and pushed the trolley through the wooden planks(made hell ALOT of noise) and we disturbed the peace at the rooftop. Unintentionally.

I've got loads to say but I'm running late.

I'll post up pictures soon.

=)

p/s: I don't know if you guys remember the Aussie girl band - Bardot. I remembered watching on TV how every single wanna-be-star went through rounds of competition to form this band. But I think they've disbanded or stopped producing albums. Anyways, here's one of the song in video on the right. I couldn't find a complete song on imeem.

"These days, the karma's right, the sun shines bright,
I'm kicking out the bad dreams.
These days, I don't think twice, I walk on light,
I'm positively somewhere.
These days go on, long after you've gone
These days go on, long after you've gone, these days go on and on."

MONDAY IS NOT MY DAY

Well, at least there are still some human beings with ethics alive.

I fucking hate the Kiasu-ism/money-minded aspects of Singaporeans.

Again I rushed down to Plaza Sing in hopes of getting Jay Chou's tickets during lunch.

Guess what?

BOTH DATES ARE FULLY WIPED OUT. *I'm officially pissed*

I was near sprouting profanities at the counter people and the sistic hotline customer service officer. I asked if they actually blocked the seats and the lady said that they do not have any news of whether sistic blocked the seats yet. Goodness gracious. Am super desperate and EXTREMELY disappointed now.

I have no other choice but to turn to the devious black market. Just made a check on auctions -Hell freaking daylight robbery.

ARGHHHH~!! @#@$*%@#$%^&*()*@~!!! HOW!

Anyways,

Gym was a test of my endurance and motivation. In fact, I think I did not bad despite not exercising for like ancient years. Don't laugh lah. I got stamina CAN. My legs are hell aching right up till now but I kinda like the feeling. Shiok! haha. I seriously need to shed lots of kilos... been binging alot. My relatives were saying that I look rounder. =(

But food still rocks my world. Damn it.


We did a self-take. Quite dumb coz there were alot of pple in my house and we could easily get them to help us. But we were too independant and the shot's perfect!



I don't know what's with Kevin's expression.



Shifu's not looking at the lens.

The bunch had like many servings! Food was too yummy.

So we proceeded up to my room after dinner and...

MY SEAL GOT RAPED.

SKYPE SUCKS(or maybe it's my lappy/windows vista). Theowee was online and it was the BEST time to do a video call 'coz everyone was around and I wanted to catch her in her PJs.

Attempted like 56667792323254535436677 times. First she couldn't see us... and all we saw was a green blank screen :



Then,

She could finally catch us on video but we were viewing her in snapshots. IT WAS HILARIOUS. She was having all sorts of hand gestures and face expressions and the video captured all the classic moments!!! I'm so sorry Theowee darling for posting this.


The snapshots.

WAHAHHAHAHAHA~!!!!

Eventually,

We resorted to looking at this still picture(while talking over SKYPE) after much failed tries to do a proper video call.


Hers Truly.


We left for gardens and began wee hours of Sunday morning with a basket of fries crapping at Liquid Kitchen.


No prizes for guessing which one is mine.


OH YAH,

Watch SAW IV only if you are a fan of this psychotic triller. I think the plot's well written. The story unfolds only until the end of the movie... BUT! I believe there is definitely a continuation of this gore film.


I now pronounce myself - The Pinkyfatsicko. (pinkee-fat-sik-co)


Still very much upset over Jay's concert tickets. Haiz.







"How the hell did we wind up like this?
Why weren't we able, to see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Let's rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a Hollywood horror"
- Someday by Nickelback

SAY HELLO SATURDAY!

Gym with kevin at 10am later. check.
Moovieee - Saw 4. check.
Lei, Kb and Pheobe meeting us after the movie. check.
Then off to my place for a hari raya FEAST!

Bestie's not coming 'coz lucky her is going to watch Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at Esplanade with Louis. *jealous* I LOVE MUSICALS CAN.

Theo's still in aussieland. (Woman! I am gonna get 周杰倫's concert tickets on the 5th! We're going for the show on 18th Jan. 19th is like SOLD OUT LAH.)

Good.

I'm smelling great now. Had a body scrub,face exfoliation and a charcoal mask. Now I feel like a semi-princess (semi coz fat. fat how to be gong zhu??) and I need to "retire" to my fluffy bed.

Nights to ya all. saranghaeyo.
