paramore

a long post is in progress, but i'll leave that for next year.
see you next decade!

It's new years eve and I'm watching Hong Kong and Taiwanese drama with Da Jie while Wong Mama is fast asleep upstairs. No sign of excitement from this family and I suspect it's in the genes!

New Year Resolutions (which will probably end up being forgotten once other posts take its place):
1)To become a more straight-forward person (in a good way)
2)To become a permanent Mugger Wong
3)To save a crazy load of money/stop spending money like water
4)To be a better person
5)TRY to lose weight (I think I'm like at my lose-weight limit alr so don't really care la!)

2009 has been an eventful year in many aspects... (I think I say that every year, dear me)

And I will make a post to wrap up this year. Really don't know when's the next time I'm gonna post since my lj has been pretty much stagnant. The only point of relevance I can think of that lj has in my life these days is Omona. I don't even read my friends page. I read it just now and it was like the first time in 2 months or something.

So...2010 starts tomorrow and honestly, I don't feel very much? I'm not exactly the kind to make New Year resolutions, because I either don't follow them or forget them an hour later (most likely the latter).

2009 wasn't a particularly significant year in my life, but as the years pass I'm starting to feel really young and old at the same time. Young because...well, I'm only sixteen and still have a long way to go (hopefully), but old because despite reaching an age where I can put my youth to good use or do something big, I don't see myself going anywhere or making any impact on my own life, let alone others. I don't think I even make sense to myself, but never mind. I turn seventeen in a couple of months' time, and I have mixed feelings about that too.

I'm guessing 2010 will be quite different from the past few years, since we're going to JC. I have made good friends in the past few years and I really hope that making new friends/having busier lives/seeing each other less often will not hinder the growth of these friendships. Past experience has proven that I am perfectly capable of ruining existing (or potential) friendships, so hopefully I will change in the years to come.

Holidays have been pretty great, worked for a few weeks, salvation army kettling, shopping, seoul'd out, outings, random attempts to do stuff...even though I didn't go overseas except for Malaysia to visit my grandma (which we do every year). And I went during Christmas time so Christmas was boring shit for me this year, but I don't exactly mind.

Yes so I have nothing else that I want to post about, and after this post I suppose I will be back in lj hibernation mode.

Here's wishing everyone a healthy, happy and fun-filled 2010~

2010.
sounds very intimidating. 
very, in fact. 
but I'm going to face it with courage and wisdom (HA.HA.)
at least, i will try. :)

I LOVE NALTS.

i am so disgusted with myself.
my tear ducts seem to be very active these few days :(
in any case, am much much better now, thanks so much for the smses and comments! :)

Mr Lau's wedding was really sweet. 
Am so glad that we managed to go down to congratulate him, and witness such a beautiful solemnization.
It was so good seeing Fior again :D
Fiorians are such good company, being with them makes me feel really really loved and happy :)

boxing day: not-really-a-class party at shide's house.
shimin, kexin and I bought all the food from kovan and later cooked ham cabonara pasta and chicken&mushroom soup for the others :D the guys were completely baffled as to why we didn't just order food in (the host himself has never cooked in his own kitchen...) they are going to die in ns/uni if they don't learn to cook soon.
& as usual there was mahjong, wii, cards and camwhoring (photos on facebook! miss lim's comment was hilarious) for nine hours straight- wonder what class chalet will be like?

monday: dinner at NYNY with poon's running commentary on the people walking by, shaping cotton candy into facial hair and asking the its-my-first-day waiter for more. poor guy, though he'll have an interesting story to share now. cryst and I wandered through esplanade where we found this quirky shop with a height comparison chart. I am as tall as the average 12-year-old kid or 2cm shorter than charles & diana's wedding cake, which is very reassuring. I bought three postcards to add to my collection, finally filling up this empty three-panel photo frame on my wall, and my mum will cease the nagging on that issue.

been feeling extremely sleepy in the office post-christmas...maybe i should start the caffeine. renyan's tea yesterday & wencen's suggestion of teh-bing today were very tempting.

damn it. 
i'm so upset. 

And so I am sure I'll never look back and now, looking forward (:

I watched The bucket list and Dead poet's society yesterday.
omggg really damn awesome movies.
they are the kind of movies that make you understand things without realising it. (i know i'm contradicting myself but yeah whatever. )

Interview today went quite well.
actually, i wouldnt think of it as an interview. it was more of a discussion session haha. 
final interview next week and omg i may end up in a totally different environment and culture.
idk if i'm ready for it. 

bus ride home was good. :) 
gave me loads of time to think. :D

Favourite quote from Dead poet's society;
"They're not that different from you, are they? 
Same haircuts. Full of hormones, just like you. Invincible, just like you feel. The world is their oyster. They believe they're destined for great things, just like many of you. Their eyes are full of hope, just like you. 
Did they wait until it was too late to make from their lives, even one iota of what they awere capable?
Because, you see, gentlemen, these boys are now fertilizing daffodils. 
But if you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy to you. Go on, lean in. Listen, you hear it? 
--Carpe--hear it?-- Carpe, carpe diem. Seize the day boys, make your lives extraordinary."

Carpe diem, Carpe diem. 

& Side point, but Nic Tse is really super super cute <3

" But molecules and the human beings they are a part of exist in a universe of possibility. We touch one another, bond and break, drift away on force-fields we don't understand. Docking here may heal a damaged heart, on the other hand it may be an expensively ruinous experiment."

- Written On The Body by Jeanette Winterson.

Yay I'm a happy person! Been having really good food for the past few days like damn nice kimchi soup and masala papadum! IMF the papadum was freaking nice it had like onions and tomatoes on it shiok to the mega max! Woohooooozzzzz but my nose is leaking and I insist that I have a dust allergy not a sensitive nose! Swing Girls is super funny!!

I have not much to give you,
I have done wrong to you,
I have fallen away from you,
but still you take me with your love.







Until the world won't turn
'Til the planets burn
Until the sun dies I'll be there
Until the heavens come
'Til this life is done
Until the world dies I'll be there


You are beautiful (:

OMG SWEETEST SCENE EVERRRRRR

 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

I pray for guidance.

merry christmas everyone <3

thank you, shiqi for inviting us to your church services- I really enjoyed lunch & the christmas musical today.

it's not just the year that's drawing to a close- its the first decade of the new millennium.

it doesn't feel like christmas. :(
i mean. I JUST WOKE UP (what is wrong with me.)

went to Shane's church thing yesterday with wubobo
the musical was called "A christmas love story"
Very um, lovey-dovey. hahah. 

managed to catch Eunice who was at another hall! :)
passed her her card (Yay!)

ate dinner with bobo and shane aft that
omggg we waited for the caitaokueh till like damn late.
i didn't even realise it was like 11.50pm till my dad called
:(

next week is going to be really busy 
am looking forwards to countdown though :)
another year, another new beginning. 

I need a new mouse.
Christmas is tomorrow.
*hinthint*
The Mouse has decided that one button press = double and triple clicks. It would be good for certain games but not when i'm attempting to rush out designs for YGH.

This computer has been around for 5 years and it's still going strong, (due to obsessive defragmenting, registry cleanup, deleting hidden files) though my graphics card sucks. I can run photoshop & illustrator CS3 and sims 2 even though it crashes sometimes.

I have been shopping for clothes and more clothes. The sales everywhere are fantastic, I can buy all my clothes now and stop shopping next year to mug instead (y).

Cryst and I have started a spot-the-ugliest-topshop-product activity. Yesterday we came across this oversized basketball net that they call a dress, selling for 100+. It can't beat the dead-bunny-on-each-foot shoes though.

on a random note, i'd always thought copenhagen was bound to fail. it's just a sheer waste of money, resources and don't forget the carbon emissions due to representatives flying in from across the globe.
