I feel Sepia tonight.



I remember the time you told me
About when you were eight
And all those things you said that night
That just couldn't wait

I remember the car you were last seen in
And the games we would play
All the times we spilled our coffees
And stayed out way too late

-Tonight by FM Static

WOOT. FINALLY A LONG WEEKEND.

Everyday of the week(including weekends), I wake up at 0645hrs in the morning.

I AM GOING TO SLEEP IN ON SUNDAY NIGHT AND WAKE UP LATE ON MONDAY MORNING BECAUSE IT'S A PUBLIC HOLIDAY~!!!

YAY CAN.

I'm so dead broke now. I just blew like close to $200 on daily essentials+skin care regime+vitamins. And no, the list is not inclusive of food. On diet lah please, too fat. My mum said if I continue to grow horizontally I might not be able to step out of the house. I've got a new nickname : baby elephant. -__-"

I seldom lift of whole chunks of stuffs, but would love to share this with anyone who happens to pop by this blog.

The 80/20 rule

A very valuable lesson to learn ...

Interesting quote from the movie 'Why did I get married?' In most cases, especially in relationships, you will only get 80% of what you NEED and you will hardly get the other 20% that you WANT in your relationship.

There is always another person (man or women) that you will meet and that will offer you the other 20% which is lacking in your relationship that you WANT. And believe me, 20% looks really good when you are not getting it at all in your current relationship. But the problem is that you will always be tempted to leave that good 80% that you know you have, thinking that you will get something better with the other 20% that you WANT. But as reality has proven, in most cases, you will always end up with having the 20% that you WANT and losing the 80% that you really NEED and that you already had.Be careful in deciding between what you WANT and NEED in your life.

Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have. 'Wow, this girl in my office is a real looker. But it's not her Wynona Rider features that got me. I'm crazy about her because she's also understanding, intelligent, tender - so many things that my spouse is not'.

Somewhere along the way, you'll find a woman or a man who will be more charming or sensitive. More alluring. More thoughtful. Richer. Have greater sex appeal. And you will find a woman or man who will need you and pursue you and go loco over you more than your spouse ever did.
Because no wife or husband is perfect. Because a spouse will only have 80% of what you're looking for.. So adultery takes place when a husband or wife looks for the missing 20%. Let's say your wife is melancholic by nature.

You may find yourself drawn to the pretty clerk who has a cherry laugh no matter what she says: 'I broke my arm yesterday, Hahahaha . . ..'
Or because your wife is a homebody in slippers and pajamas, smelling of garlic and fish oil. You may fall for a fresh-smelling young sales representative that visits your office in a sharp black blazer, high heels, and a red pencil-cut skirt. Or because your husband is the quiet type, your heart may skip a beat when you meet an old college flame who has the makings of a talk show host.

But wait! That's only 20% of what you don't have.Don't throw away the 80% that you already have.That's not all! Add to your spouse's 80% the 100% that represents all the years that you have been with each other.

The storms you have weathered together.
The unforgettable moments of sadness and joy as a couple.
The many adjustments you have made to love the other.
The wealth of memories that you've accumulated as lovers.

Adultery happens when you start looking for what you don't have.But faithfulness happens when you start thanking God for what you already have.

But I'm not just talking about marriage. I'm talking about life!

About your jobs.
About your friends.
About your children.
About your lifestyles.

Are you like the economy airline passenger that perennially peeks through the door of the first class cabin, obsessed with what he's missing? ' They have got more leg room! Oh my, their food is served in porcelain! Wow, their seats recline at an 80% angle and they've got personal videos!'
I guarantee you'll be miserable for the entire trip! Don't live your life like that. Forget about what the world says is first class. Do you know that there are many first class passengers who are miserable in first class -- because they are not riding in a private Lear Jet?

The moral of the story :

If you start appreciating what you have right now, wherever you are, you are first class!

Enjoy the short hol you guys! (:

My Forever Love - 周杰伦

Jay's latest album - 魔杰座(Capricorn)

TWO WORDS.

F* AWESOME.

I thought I was so over Jay after missing his concert this year which led me into pyscho-ing myself that he's no longer my forever idol(more like sour grapes 'coz I didn't get to go despite queueing for more than an hour for the tix;thus forcing myself to hate him). <--- ok I am clueless what I wrote here. Ignore my rant.

I ATE BACK MY WORDS AFTER WATCHING THIS MV.

给我一首歌的时间



I WANT TO MARRY HIM CAN! SO DAMN SHUAI!

Wah lao, if a guy don't even have at least 50% of Jay's style he can forgot about being my boyfriend.

Shit. Damn superficial and 18 yr old-ly. muahaha.

Ok, you might not be interested but anyway,

An exclusive photo of me and my sexy short crop.



p/s : The highlight of the photo is just to show off my mascara! REALLY! Just look at my chio lashes. muahaha.

Boring Tuesday.

So I called in sick for work today and managed to get quality sleep the whole day.

SHIOK.

Think it was due to over exertion(recently started Yoga and dance classes) thus causing pressure on my chest area. I had to go to the doc's to get my chest checked, pretty afraid of these kind of symptoms. For a while I thought there was something wrong with my heart. But anyways, doc said I'd over strained my breast bone muscle thus causing discomfort when I stretch.

Yoga's awesome. Meditation and self awareness and definitely, LOADS OF PESPIRATION. I enjoy the most when after all those difficult poses and stretches, the guru slows down and let us get in touch with our inner voice. Yea, the part where you go "OHhmmmmmmmmmm". You'll eventually get to a point where your mind stop wandering around and your focus is on ur breathing and your heart and body naturally melts to the earth.

Oh, YOGA MAKES YOU LOSE WEIGHT CAN!!! muahaha.

I was thinking recently, I don't know if I'm afraid to grow up or am I just unwilling to let go of me being once a teenager. You know, my weekdays and my weekend are of two totally different worlds. Needless to say, hands down, I'd vote for my weekend.

On normal working days, the people around me are all like in their late 20's/early 30's, struggling to survive in this dog-eat-dog corporate world. Whereby the up and downs of the current market/economic downturn becomes a regular topic over lunch and tea-break. The work is routined and everyone seems very conscious of what's going on in the office... the hush hush politics, the shooting of emails and all those crap you get when you are in a deskbound 9-5 environment.

I'm not complaining about my job. I work and get paid duly. What's so bad about it right? I'm just trying to say that I don't feel "grown up" yet. I don't feel that I have to know so much about the current financial situation. I don't feel that I have to listen to all those office politics. I don't want to know who got a promotion or who's in the boss's favourite list.

BUT, I have to and sadly, I have to admit, I don't deny I keep myself abreast on news about the grapevine.

Come Saturdays and Sundays, which are days in a week I extremely love and look forward to, where by I let the inner-child in me out. Just hanging out with the kids, nevermind that we converse in kiddo lingo,creative juices flowing from my right brain, makes me the happiest girl on earth.

I don't know how to start and how to explain this feeling. At times, I feel like a kid in a grown up's body and sometimes I know I am no longer at that teenage phase of my life.

It's wayyyy complicated this me inside.

I am starting to lose myself maintaining this balance at this "not here not there" age of 23.

I guess this is what they call - Growing Up.

Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding?

- Welcome To My Life by Simple Plan

A regular Saturday

Ok firstly,

I'm damn happy can. 99.9999999% good comments about my new haircut. YAY. (no pictures yet because I've not practiced the art of self shots in a long while)

And I swear my friends will never be able to recognize me on the streets. I was like at town yesterday and purposely bumped right in front my friend's face and he totally got a shock. hah.

Btw, if you did not know yet, the black thingy in the previous entry is the "remains" of my long ponytail. Gone for good. =)

Lunch at SIM with Shifu earlier. He had a 1430hrs lesson and I was supposed to go for my art class but ended up growing lazy bones and was too tired to heed further down to the west.

Hopped home and spent the afternoon Skype-ing with Theowee. Loads of laughter I tell you.

If you do read Dawn's blog, there is an self shot vid of her faking a terrible accent.

The Original Dawn Yang Sydney Vid.




And Theowee showed me this :

XX's impersonation of Dawn. DAMN FREAKING FUNNY CAN!



I shamelessly admit, I watched XX's version like COUNTLESS of times and laughed myself silly like a crazy bimbotic bitch.

WAHAHHAHAHA!!!

Off to pom pom and dinner.

Later. =)

+Triva of the day : A truffle is a kind of fungi.

They say that it takes a minute to crush on someone, an hour to like someone and a day to love someone. But it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

True?

I beg to differ.

Once a crush begins, and like grows within, love may blossom and forgetfulness sets in =)

Short is the new sexy.




Sometimes, you have to let go of certain things and emotions which you have been holding back for so long.

I made my choice.

=)

And you know what?

It feels GREAT.

hah.

Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?
