Finally the long awaited holiday is here! well, till now, there's no plans to travel.. although i would like to drop by somewhere jus for a few days. but damn sian... not really sure who to go with... have this chiong dong to go alone.. den again.. sian.. dunno la. have been struggling to come to peace with myself for sometime already but it does not seem to be going any better... hopefully by the end of this 2 weeks, i'll be able to survive this emotional turmoil... :(
i'm not comfortable discussing too much about myself with others, so the only way out is by reading... hopefully i'll be able to gain enlightment from there. well... if you have any books for the soul, do recommend. hahaha...

i pray for wisdom and little less stubborness...

As i'm typing this entry, the kuahs will be leaving melbourne and back to Singapore. sigh... i'm so gonna miss the Baby... Really thankful for all the meals they've cooked for me and their hospitality. i'd definitely like to catch up with them when i'm back...

She's a tv addict. The first baby i know who watches tv till 3 AM!!!
haha... amazing child...

" The alchemist knew the legend of Narcissus, a youth who knelt daily beside a lake to contemplate his own beauty. He was so fascinated by himself that, one morning, he fell into the lake and drowned. At the spot where he fell, a flower was born, which was called the narcissus.
... ... When Narcisuss died, the goddesses of the forest appeared and found the lake, which had been fresh water, transformed into a lake of salty tears.
' Why do u weap?' the goddesses asked.
' I weep for Narcissus,' the lake replied.
' Ah, it is no surprise that you weep for Narcissus,' they said, 'for though we always pursued him in the forest, you alone could contemplate his beauty close at hand.'
' But... was Narcissus beautiful?' the lake asked.
' Who better than you to know that?' the goddeses said in wonder. 'After all, it was by your banks that he knelt each day to contemplate himself!'
The lake was silent for some time. Finally it said:
'I weep for Narcissus, but I never noticed that Narcissus was beautiful. I weep because, each time he knelt beside my banks, I could see, in the depth of his eyes, my own beauty reflected.'
'What a lovely story,' the alchemist thought. "

It's been quite some time since i last saw Mayday's mtv. Today, TY directed me to Youtube showing their chinese version of "La Ji Che". My first reaction, unfortunately, i frowned. HAhaha... opps.. but yea... it sounded a bit weird. but after some time, i giggled. there's something in Ah Xin's voice and his expressions that tickle me. suddenly, i remembered how crazy i was in Sec 4 and for that 15 seconds, those emotions and memories flooded me...

Dont get me wrong, i really do like them. Although i may sometimes appear unconcerned or even distaste to some of their music, i still do like them and like before, they still cheer me up. ^^

Initially, wanted to upload a few advertisements shown here in Aussie . but i cant find them online. so sad... but i'll list them anyway..

1. Tim Tam's - Genie ( there's many version but i like the 2006 one)
2. Yellow Page - Home repair - vet
3. Milk for life - Full version

Was tagged by Huixian, so i'll be a good spot and finish the task as follows.

Rules of the game:Each player of this game starts off with ten weird things or habits or little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged must write in a blog of their own ten weird things or habits or little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you must choose six people to be tagged and list their names. No tagbacks!

1) although i may be small, there are times (depending on my mood) when i can seriously shock you with the amount i can eat.

2) i like to have my personal space. so if i jus get to know you, please dun touch me or talk very close to my face. hahaha.. this reminded me of an incident of my lecturer last semester. hahaha.. she came directly into my face, i nearly pushed her away. but i stopped in time. my hands were already 15 cm away from her.. but i took and step back and she came forward again... woooahh.. not too near peeps. i can hear u. really.

3) When i start doing my work on the study table, i'll pack it and make sure it's clean and neat. but as i do my thing, i'll start messing it all up again. (messy = got work done). hahahaha...


4) When i'm scared, nervous or uncomfortable, i may appear a bit too talkative/hyper/easily excited so as to cover my fear. or... i'll be very quiet to save myself from being foolish.

5) i enjoy studying overseas =)

6) i like to spend time alone - walking around the city, enjoying the cityscape. if the weather's good ( warm sun and gentle breeze), i'll have lunch in the park, listening to music on my ipod while reading... or watching ppl watching bird watching ppl... hahaha... do u understand? hahahaha... loves it!

7) i appreciate simple pleasures in life. breathing in fresh air, eating good food, strolling in the cool breeze surrounded by parks, trees and beautiful flowers, sitting in the park with good company, enjoying the beauty in everything =) life's good.

8) i'll be really annoyed and cranky if i dun have my personal time and space once in a while.

9) i'll know when is your birthday. hahaha.. but if i din wish you, be sure that i'd whisper "happy birthday" to you in my heart.

10) ard 50% of my money is spent on papers, ribbons, stationaries, art stuff etc... 45% is on food. the remaining 5% on transport, leisure etc...

MUST

well.. this semester i've been blessed with lotsa good stuff! hahaha...


first and FOREMOST...


if u haven't catch "The Phantom of the OPERA", you MUST! hahahaha... Loves loves loves it!



On the 5th, i went to watch the Musical in Princess Theatre. ( my very first MuSICAL theatre experience) and One word: FANTASTIC! The movie is also a good alternative. In fact, with technology, the visual impact is definitely better than the theatre.




next, RATATOUILLE


This is the only movie i've watched that the audience clapped in the middle of the show.

haha.... usually, one would put the pic of the rat. but but but... this character shock me most of the time. hahhaha.... BOO! you'll understand if u watch it.. hahaha...

and i love the french song: Le Festin.

3rdly, Pixar: 20 Years of Animation!

Really appreciate all the effort the animators put into their work. After this, i'll definitely scrutinize every bit of each character from their general facial expression to every twitch of its muscles down to the single bit of their fur...
