just because.

out of the snow and into the sun.

korea was one hell of a blast. i couldnt have asked for a better (belated) christmas present or a happier white new year.

photos and details soon.

i think. err. i hope.





laughter, tears and your smile

a long day & a cute night.

had a belated christmas party today which started off a little bit awkward but ended on a happy note. we played games and had urgh disgusting forfeit. think marshmallows with chili and ketchup and cheese all mushed together. thankfully i never got the chance to taste the mutant marshmallows so i cant tell you how delightful they tasted.

cross fingers no one gets marshmallow poisoned!

other than our very creative forfeit food, there was a hell lot of food. stuffed my face with fat-soaked chocolates and chips and cake. oh and pizza. lots of pizza. oh my fats.

just one photo tonight. cause i was having trouble finding a glam-enough or not-too-hideously-unglam photo to post.



and no matter what.


really is a silent night.

happy christmas and a merry new year.

this christmas wasnt like the ones i used to have. as a kid, we'd have christmas day all over at my grandma's and we'll play games and rip open presents. of course, after living for more than a decade (sheesh im old), christmas has calmed and has become more of a sweet day spent with my family.

with lots and lots of food.

first,

the necklace in the photo was a gift.


thanks again joan's mum!

closeup charms.

so christmas christmas today and we well ate. alot.

i ate so much i could feel my stomach expand with every bite and chew. and then all the food just made me really really sleepy and i fell asleep as soon as we got back into the car.

i think 2 hours straight of eating non-stop is a better sleeping pill than anything out there.


foood.

food.

& more food.

then in the evening, went over to joan's to have some last minute christmas fun.



and to our absolute horror, we found some err rather explicit stickers.

yeah, stickers. you know the kind we used to chummy over as kids. apparently, they arent so innocent after all. in the midst of their cute exterior and sparkly finish, their artists have very quietly crept in details that would later on in the lives of little kids, create irreversible consequences.

okay i kind of dont think when i type and i tend to run on my sentences. haha this happens when im sleepy so just keep reading.

anyway, mature content below. please avert your eyes if you feel the need to preserve the innocence of stickers in your mind.

this, had me straining my eyes.


its a girl. i swear its a girl.

and this, well this is just err odd.


hello kitty pointing her very short middle finger?


haha well christmas is always full of surprises.

goodnight world & go shimmy down a chimmney tonight.


and dance;

anyhow art 2009

amazing times 9864351746926254723825926178454329.

saw some unexpected people there. surprising, heartwarming and a bit um embarrassing haha since our costume seems to be lacking alot of cloth around the mid drift area.

i would upload the video of our performance yesterday night but its way too large. so, onto facebook the video goes. (& soon, i promise.)

the makeup was amazing.


on our faces

and on our hands.

credits to shu zhen for designing the face makeup. i drew the hand ones. haha and i can hear the 'oh, no wonder' going through your mind now. hey, art is hard to interpret man. i tried my best.


ling and me trying obviously unsuccessfully to act sexy after makeup-ing.

and while waiting for the performance to start, we spent our time taking photos. many many photos. 263 to be exact. haha actually, we took photos whenever we had the chance.

but then came dinner.


oh the horror.

haha think exposed bloated belly in front of a million people taking videos of our performance. thus the pouts and sad faces and mourning for the non-existent flat stomachs began. and it kind of lasted for the rest for the whole two days of the performance. but today, muaha, we're all happy little kids munching our way into sinful snacks with no fear that anyone will stare at our bulging stomachs. err. okay, not so much. but still.

then after putting on our blood red lipstick, we danced.

and danced our heart out.

6 minutes and 57 seconds. the longest dance i have ever danced. adrenaline rush, whoo. and i'd do it all over again.

pictures below. (the rest will be on facebook once facebook decides to revive.)


















lao shi!








like the world is watching.

littlest joys


megawatts.

updates.

this weekend was tiring and today was as well. but these days have been fun nonetheless.

so anyway.

i think its funny how we wake up. im a total night junkie and a morning nightmare. so i usually wake up dazed and utterly utterly confused. i never get up on the right side of the bed. either side i wake up, i might roll and fall off the bed and just go right back to sleep.

the other day i had to wake up early. and i had a very uh amusing conversation.

mum: wake up! turn off the air con.

me: (mumbles incoherently) what air con? there's no air con in my
room.

mum: what?

me: huh?

mum: just turn on the lights.

me: (still mumbling incoherently) what lights? there's no lights in my
room.

now, there are both lights and an air con in my room. goes to show i have either a malfuntioning brain or a highly imaginative mind that can morph things.

hmmm.


snapshots from dance practice this weekend.





"drop dead gorgeous smile of yours"

i'll wait forever and a day for you


we used to laugh out loud

amanda was supposed to have fun in the sun today with wind in her hair.

instead, amanda ate like a pig and had fun in the err hairsalon. (?)

haha okay so today i had absolutely nothing to do. so i went to meet mum at the hairsalon where she was having her hair done.


unlike happy mum, i hate cutting my hair.

so i settled for reading and playing with my ipod. i was so bored i even started reading lao fu zi the comic. oh childhood memories haha. hairsalon's seem to have a never ending supply of them along with age-old magazines. then i started stoning.

that is until the hairdresser/mum's friend decided he was bored too and started to play with my hair.


yes, play. with my hair.

the next fifteen mintues was spent with them trying to tame my medusa hair. think i became their life-sized doll today. but plastic doesnt suit me.

anyway,


i ended up with curls.

lots of lots of curls. haha well, at least they had fun.

tomorrow will be a good day. got to charge my camera's battery and got to stop eating so i can still dance.

and oh, imy.

everybody's in love?


all the single ladies what?

i love my dog.

haha i think she's the most adorable thing in my world. especially when she licks her nose after i kiss it. every time.

that aside, today was a blast.

started the day reading and then,


chocolate chocolate chocolate.

met ling and caught the movie 'couple's retreat' cause i was too freaked to watch 'case 39'. haha im the type of person who after laughing my ass off after watching 'scary movie' will start to wonder if someone will crawl out my tv the moment i turn around.

anyway the movie wasnt wonderful wonderful. pretty average and i pretty much froze to death in that puny cinema with insane air-conditioning.


lunch at moss burger.

fast food outlets are filled with queer people, really. gay-acting dudes chummy over their ipod, emo chio bu and a cute auntie (in the picture) who smiled at our camwhoring.

well, hmmm.


then we came here.

about 11(?) stories off the ground, the elevator ride up is definitely not for the faint-hearted. it's an amazing place, so guess where.

so below are some snapshots of today, enjoy.


















sculpture's butt?



















the wind was insane. haha we couldnt be bothered much after a while so our hair turned out something like this.





amazing day with amazing friend.


anyway, the rest are uploaded on facebook since my com is starting to whine and die on me.

it's late and i shall go lie on my bed and wait for my dreams to come.


so we'll live, love, laugh.

i found what you werent looking for


dont let me go.

is it just me?

or is it simply annoying as hell to be stuck between two people who wont stop talking to each other and who both refuse to swap places.

whatever it is, sheesh it bugs me.

especially when im trying to read. and today i read through the day. i read so much the words started to blur abit(and i fell asleep for a while. naps are amazing i tell you.) and im down to the last chapter of this very amazing book.

then i came across this word i've never seen before and i reached for my ipod to check it in the dictionary when i realised i had read flatiron as flaty-ron.

haha and i quote my friend,

"you're crazy, i think."

im starting to think, maybe she's right.

you cant go out to play


chummy, sweetnothing moments.

oh glorious freedom.

but sometimes, in these wonderfully delicious days where kids like us have absolutely no commitments to anything whatsoever and have all the time in the world to do whatever our very relaxed mind can think of next, there comes a time when the boredom starts to haunt us.

haha okay ignore the dramatism.

its getting to me and my words and screwing with my head so that everything i say now is intertwined and soaked in lameness(such a word?).

okay its not really that bad. just today was a little boring. other days i have tons of ways to spend my endless hours. so today, after running and sweating my sweat glands out, i decided to go out for lunch.


with mum.

japanese food and shopping.

haha, mum's the best. (im just saying. shopping is alot more fun when you dont have to keep counting the number of notes left in your wallet until you realise you have more receipts than cash.)

photos by the way werent taken today(wedding dinner photos). i missed my camera today while i was out and it was resting peacefully at home getting the ions in its battery fully charged again.

and my camera missed out on the fun i had at iluma the other day.


we ended up using and almost losing phones that day while taking photos.

but life's all good.
