Merry Christmas!

The most wonderful time of the year, and spent with the most important people in my life. I'm now a girlfriend! :D

Ask n wait

The much-desired root beer float i had in KL, so yummy n filling. I wanna shop n travel, wanderlast bites. This time last year i probably was planning for Vietnam, how much fun it was!

Christmas in a cup

Free drinks at starbucks today for 2hours, i got myself a nice dose of christmas in liquid form-peppermint mocha! Nommom.

Not not happy

Camp's drawing nearer, n the boy's leaving soon too. We've been busy so we haven't had the chance to meet over the past 3 days. I bought him something for his trip and couldn't wait to pass it to him but my excitement has disappeared in the process of me running up n down looking for a new piece, and i'm still waiting for him to get me for the past 45min or so. I don't know if I'll be content waiting all the time.

Cream coloured cars

Not many vehicles can pull off this strange shade of cream. This one's petty small n cute, but an alfa romeo? Uh. I have my doubts. Talk about exotic taste!

Lunch dates

Thank God for blessing me with somebody to love. Look at that cheeky face! Hee.

Smile at the storm

Instead of griping about the storm, why not get a cheery brolly to chase the blues away?

Perspectives

An accidental move skewed this photo into something quite interesting. I think God has his ways of showing me how things can be perceived differently. Positivity please!

Ice cream mania

We're all pretty much impressed with MOF's desserts, esp jeevan who declared that his matcha shake was 'the shit'. Heh. It was a nice night out really. :)

Return of the monster baby

One reason for crossing the border- to celebrate the onset of the terrible two. And my dear ahma's birthday too. Kids are such a joy and a pain at the same time.

Arty farty

I love the color combination on this. :) and even though it's made up of scrap paper it looks like quite a decent letter template no? I can't believe i'm waiting for starshine for almost an hr on a thurs night and it's almost 1. I must be a bit delirious to be doing this.

Daytime

I haven't been to bedok jetty in the day for the longest time, and it was a lovely spontaneous outing with ling n van that really made my weekend. We went cycling on a whim, sat, talked n listened to one another. I can't wait for this wk to end so starshine can spend time with me too.

Snowed in

Sitting in a car going thru the carwash is quite fun, i just get a bit worried that i'll get wet when they hose down the windows.

Half mark

Back to school after the mid-sem break, not much of one i would say, but it's alright, the prospect of finishing school excites me. I need things to look forward to and to keep me positive and motivated.

Waves

one of our nights out to an unexplored place, but it'll probably be once in a blue moon that we'll go anywhere different. He does the driving and i do the brainstorming, i hope i can live with stable and boring. Yea maybe I can.

Fuzzy

Warm drinks past midnight and warm hearts. There's always something special about the nights, when the stars come out to play.

Holes

Been thinking a bit too much today, and feeling a bit wistful, not good to wallow about really. I'm choosing to focus on my hunger instead, it's more comforting to know that food is nearby. Heh.

Hazy lazy

The haze today's bad and made me feel so nua and lazy. Well maybe it's just me and my unproductive afternoon syndrome. I'm not a big fan of afternoons, they're hot and the hours fly by too quickly. I'm more partial to mornings and evenings.

Sunday mornings

i'm waiting for the family to get ready and head to church. My nose hurts and i look like rudolph, bah.

Over my head

The good thing about stressing myself out abt time management is that i'm now more or less on time or early for my appts. :D there's a silver lining to every dark cloud. Waiting for my group members now to come and run thru our presentation, i'm 15min early! *pat on my back*

Blessed

Had a lovely sunday today spent with people dear to me, and i finally got to see Up in 3d, loved it to bits! Thank God for all of you, I'm really blessed to have you in my life. Many many more things to look forward to, must stay positive!

Paperface

I finally summoned up enough courage to go torture myself and to have beautiful skin. That's Claire undergoing only a fraction of the pain cos she's mostly zit-free. The facial aunty speaks english and is funny and nice. I think i might come back more often to spare myself the accumulated pain.

Trample

On my way for a church meeting now, hid at home the whole day doing research but it never seems enough. Hmm. When's the next time i'm gonna get a break? :(

Expect nothing

Paying $4 for a box of fried rice-a lot of really bad rice. Boo. Good reminder for myself.

Peace

Something small i bought to say sorry. :( i should watch my words.

Watching

Been wandering about alone today, i haven't been much of a social creature this week. I saw the fireworks alone too, cos the rest of the volunteers disappeared and I figured i wouldn't have much to say to them anyway. Some days i wonder if i'll die alone. it takes quite a bit of effort to socialize and make friends, and when i'm in one of my moods i really don't bother about making small talk and being friendly.

Pfft.

I'd rather deal with old people than spoilt, unmotivated kids. That's the only reason keeping me from visiting my grandparents' place.

It's all about you

I love the seaside. Even though Singapore waters aren't the prettiest i've seen around it's nice going to the beach, it's the closest to a getaway that i can have. :)

Delusional

My brother's get-rich-quick daydream- sue for rotten sauce. It's quite funny really, he thinks he can get a lot of money but all he should be getting is 2 replacement bottles of sauce, heh.

Shaved ice and schedules

Fruity tutti fix on a hot afternoon planning our schedule, lovely!

A bit of wisdom

Hello cholesterol

Fathers' Day dinner at the House of Seafood-bad service, so-so food, stoned me and bye bye to the last of my paycheck. Seriously, money is like water, and my period's sapping all my energy. Blah.

Friendship

is subjective.

So Happy Together

No matter how we toss the dice, it seems to be the only one for me is you, and you for me, so happy together! :)

Conscious effort

Dear God, please give me the energy and perseverance to keep positive, to see the best in others and to push myself toward excellence. You have been faithful, and i'm truly thankful. You have brought me thus far, and i know you have plans to prosper me. Help me daddy to find back my joy in you.

Trusty

Shoes and bags are my best friends, not quite diamonds. My pair of gold rubber pumps have proven to be my best buy so far, they go with almost anything! Heh.

Indian donuts

The best vadais i've had, from ananda bhavan (i think that's how it's spelt). The wall has really funny things promoting vegetaranism, but i couldn't get a good photo of it, heh. If all vegetarian food tasted this good i'd be vegetarian!

Happy working song

I had another carb-heavy meal again and i hope it lasts me past dinnertime! The repercussions of it are haunting me-i'm schleepy. I love Franky's food. Kimchi makes me happy!

Sunshiney day

It's a beautiful day today, mr sun's out, i had a great breakfast and i've started studying, whee! Plus chocolates to keep me going. I am much blessed and happy, hee.

Fuelled by starshine

The happy place, swings, quality time and warm fuzzy feelings. :)

Keep me burning

One of the latest nights i've had since school's started, and tons to get done, but it's fine. In God i find my strength. I need to stop drinking coffee it kills my appetite.

Bliss

A baby's smile is oh-so-adorable! All you have to do is smile first and they'll smile back at you. :D sow a smile, reap a smile!

Escape?

There're days when all you want to do is open the hatch and just fall (no i'm not suicidal). Through it all God has been my sustenence, blessing me through friends and well, a stable enough mind to tahan everything. The pressure is mounting, but instead of running away it's time to transform it to something productive. The word of the month shall be PROFESSIONALISM.

Head space

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is such a sad book, very Catcher in the Rye, i like. It's been a while since I've got to sit down with a cuppa to read. And i think i secretly want to be a boy cos their coming of age stories fascinate me a lot more than the girls' versions. I wanna catch 'angus, thongs and full frontal snogging' tho. :D Starbucks' vanilla latte is yums.

From the rising

The weekend flew by again, with nary a thought for my deadlines. On the bus home now, it's 早出晚归 as usual. Enjoying the long busride home but not the odour. Sheesh.

Engineer for the day

My little SM toolbox makes me happy and reminds me to be professional. Although it is a juggle carrying clover and the box at the same time.

Sweet Sashimi

Shivering, quivering tasty little slivers of succulent sliced cold salmon, scallops and swordfish dunked into wasabi and soy sauce. Heavenly. Thank God for a time out with good company and awesome food. :)

Blessings

I'm so glad to have met twinnie after a long day of rehearsals today, she bought a yellow ducky book for me to cheer me up! I love you, thanks for being there. :) It's good to see a face outside of school, not that i don't love my friends, but yea. Change of environment is good. I also bought a container to use as my SM kit, my motivation to press on and serve the people.

Pervasiveness

Was on the way home one night when liting pointed out that the 4 people seated opposite us were all fiddling with their own gadgets. We're all living in our own little bubbles once we plug in or log on. Talk about leaving us to our own devices, literally.

Job 1:21-22

"...The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised." in all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.
