 Annabel twenty five and full of life. Oscar Wilde taught her that she can resist everything, except temptation. I believe.

Monday, February 23, 2009  TGIF/Weekends was spent meaningfully. Ever since I decided to choose a job that allows me grow a flower out of my butt, I made it my personal vendetta that I will have a life after 9-6 and my weekends will be spent wisely. Not that I never had a life before, but this obligation came on stronger this year, with many strings attached.   All we saw was a mini Yogawe were seated very far~ Yoga's concert was a blast because it was free and with the CHS girls. I think most of the people there had free tickets though as the turn out was a dismal 60-70% and i think 1/3 of the audience were there for S.H.E. He sang well just that I was disappointed that he did not sing the song WE were all waiting for "Bo Le - Sage of Love", despite having TWO encores. Even Jay Chou didnt whet our appetite like he did. You are only Yoga Lin You Jia leh~  Malcolm: Where you now?Me: out with my JC friends lor, at cine M: JC friends? you got go JC meh? i thought you in NP! B: Ya i did, first 3 months at PJC. M: Wah piang, first 3 months friends you still keep in touch! B: Cannot meh?! We're very close! First 3 months at PJC will always be one of the best decisions i made in my life. I never fail to be amazed and not to mention, delighted, when people gape at me when i tell them i am still in close contact with my first 3 months mates. I guess this is what you call fate? Despite us being in different phases of our lives and we don't actually get to see everyone regularly, yet somehow, when we meet, i get this warm fuzzy feeling that motivated me to wake up at 5am everyday and travel to PJC back in 2005.  So thank you my 05A05 lovelies.Seeing how Alicia and Guowei bicker each time they cross paths Cass taking unglam shots of Min Chah fighting to foot the bill Nick fiddling with his 4k (!!) Canon DSLR and the boys telling us about army horror stories over drinks at Balcony... ... You guys are the best things about PJC, other than the tau huay. -grins-  So I have a life, beyond slogging behind a computer screen. Many have questioned why I have the tendency to take a one year break after every educational phase. Took it back in 2005 after O's and then now, after poly. For the ones who didn't know, Cambridge awarded me a C6 for English back in 2005. I refused to conform to society and chose the unorthodox route of doing private O's for English and Combined Humanites again. I also took English Literature because New Town deprived me of so. Some questioned whether was it worth it? A primary school friend asked me if I was sure that i could better my C6 score by re-taking. She told me i should just accept the fact and apply for courses that I could enter like Engineering. Apparently, she doesn't know me well. (Engineering and Annabel never co-exists) At the end of the day, I did got an A2 for English and for Lit, I got an A1. -flips hair- And on by the way, that friend and i? We're no longer friends after that conversation.  I had an agenda for that break then.This time, I have my reasons too. So trust in me that I know what i am doing and that this is a well needed break for my messed-up soul. To my detractors and stronzos around me vaffanculo to you! Before I die
Tuesday, February 17, 2009 There's a bit of us in all of them A bit of insanity. A bit of charity. A bit of hopefulness. A bit of guilt. A bit of regret. A bit of everything. What will you do before you die?                www.beforeidieiwantto.org what's with the roses
Sunday, February 15, 2009 I spent Valentines not with one man but with 2 absolutely stunning darlings. Perhaps to the general world, they may not be your alpha female with supermodel-ish body and legs that go on forever, but to me, they are the ones with the 24k golden heart, angelic face and a smile that brightens my lonely valentine up.  At Alicia's garden.So thank you Jessica and Alicia. May we love and be loved. Saturday's TNP headline news was on the breakdown of Glenn Ong and Jamie Yeo's marriage. Although I've met Glenn a few times at mediacorp office, (most of the time, strangely, outside the toilet, i also dont know why), I could hear the love in his voice whenever he spoke about Jamie Yeo during his morning radio show. To me, I always thought theirs was a love come true. But now, it seems to me love ain't here anymore. So what's with the roses, candlelit dinners and Tiffany rings when the bond between you and your honey/darling/dear/pig/whatever-mushy-names-you-can-conjour-up is easily, broken and drifted apart?  PeiXuan and I after Valkyrie.Vanessa, your presence is with us! =) I see more broken hearts than happy couples this year and not to mention i have people around me cheapening the sacrity of love. "ii lubb euu" is retarded, it is not a show of love. It is a show of how you have not learn your primary school English properly.  I think my cynicsm is probably stemmed from being left on the shelf for too long. You know how those old virgins are constantly frowning and gorging themselves silly?I'll turn into one of these witches if I am still Single Desperate Ugly, for the next 10 Valentines'. But, i still believe in love. Because love exists in more ways than between lovers. But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. You have to believe in love stories and Prince Charmings and Happily-Ever-Afters. Because love is FEARLESS. - Taylor Swift - three moons
Tuesday, February 10, 2009  Eunice, Didi, Nat and Gab: 4 bored person on a lazy Sunday afternoon.  We knew each other since we were horrendous-looking piece of crap.Thank you for the 12 years of love and friendship. We know each other's dirrrty little secrets and this includes "SAILOR MOON"! Taken from 8Days #958: {pisces} "Over the next three months, your achievements in both professional and romantic realms could be truly amazing. Even financial improvements should be around the corner." That means by 10 May, I should have met a man who is crazily attracted to the insanely retarded me; I probably have wowed my bosses and colleagues at work and had snagged a billion dollar deal and my double bank accounts are not at a despicable pitiful 3-digit range.  So I am giving myself 3 months, 90 days, N hours to see if I can trust 8Days' Nicholas Campion.If the above comes true, I'll treat the whole world to dinner. This, i promise. Guides Honour! for J
 Dear J,We all deserve some good loving. happy early valentines, my dear! =) 一壶成套式两人分的咖啡呀 一屋子芬芳气息 两个女人见到 话题永远不停 哦关于男人 关于女人和自己 整个世界都要整理 有时候只有跟你说才有头绪 男人总不懂女人眼泪真实的意义 女人猜不透男人忽然沉默的背景 有时候爱情不如和你喝咖啡有趣 过去的事情想早点忘记却爱回忆 下一段恋曲却又怕再伤心 我们总聊聊互相的安慰彼此打气 信用卡可以买到一季的流行 却买不到真实自己 只有听你说的分析深入我心 就算是小小的竞争或是在斗气 这一切都不是问题 用一杯咖啡的时间都能搞定 男人总不懂女人眼泪真实的意义 女人猜不透男人忽然沉默的背景 有时候爱情不如和你喝咖啡有趣 过去的事情想早点忘记却爱回忆 下一段恋曲却又怕再伤心 我们总聊聊互相的安慰彼此打气 下次见面拿杯咖啡 时间地点先定 下次见面那些事情 没话说我听你 used to
Monday, February 09, 2009 I was on the train the other day when this thought hit me. On every even-numbered year, I'll be plagued with some dark cloud while on every odd-numbered year, I'll see the sunshine after the rain. This "phenomenon" proved true, I didn't had a fantastic 2008, though Wuhan did has its pluses, but 2009 did start on a bad note so yup. I can't help believing that I have no fate with odd-numbered years. I am not saying that the entire 365 days were a shitload of rubbish and the dark cloud haunted me 24/7 but i meant it on the general whole. Where i juxtaposed the smiles, tears and frowns and come to a conclusion.  2009, an odd-numbered year.Just like what all those money-grabbing fortune tellers declare about this Earth Oxen Year, It's going to be a tough year ahead. But, I'm not going to surrender to it. stranger
Wednesday, February 04, 2009  The biggest reward that I've gotten out of my 4.5months in China is probably a drop in weight.My favourite jeans label probably decided that their jeans were way too overpriced and thus there was this month long promotion where you can trade any tom dick and harry pair of jeans and get a $50 off your jeans purchase.  So, after a long day at work, I pulled Alicia out and had retail therapy, which really perked my senses up. Not to mention that I was able to fit into sizes that I never dreamt my arse could fit in. My eyes nearly popped when I saw the size that I was easing into.For this, THANK YOU CHINA THANK YOU CLASSROOM BLOCK 8's 14 flight of stairs THANK YOU BLACKOUT AT HOSTEL 18 flight of stairs THANK YOU MY HUGGING-TOILET-BOWL-AND-PUKE DAY. -chuckles- Somehow, my vow to NOT shop for 6 months have been broken once too many and it is not helping that almost everything catches my eye  Yes, I delish in the adrenaline rush through my veins when I make my purchases and i feel satisfied seeing the bags on my arm.Though I don't exactly like the idea of seeing the numbers in my TWO accounts spiralling downhill... I REALLY have to stop. Throwing money away is not going to help. Just like how morphine doesn't remove all the pain away. Just like how after the smoke rings disappear after your 7minutes of puff, you still have to handle the issues in front of you. No one said it is a carnal sin to shop. But it is a purgatory sin to wallow in negative fashion. THEREFORE..  -GRINS-huat arrrr
Sunday, February 01, 2009  Who has the biggest head?It's my last Sunday as an idling teen-dult without a school or emplyer. When Monday comes, i am starting work st Hong's. Everyone's been asking me if I am excited or looking forward to my first official full time job, i guess it is a bundle of mixed feelings. I would have love to slack a few more days or probably go pursue my interests and all but reality is i do not have such luxuries and I can't stand being idle for prolonged periods of time, I'll go neurotic/paranoid/emo/whatever.  Hooter's with Dong.twit.cheryl and xiaoxuan.The last time I saw them(minus twit and dong) was when i had cropped hair and specs. I was 16 then.  Alicia: we all deserve some good loving. =)min: i want more of you, dont let SMU take you away!  Bestie! We're making up for the 8 months we've been apart lately. -hugs-    My coffeebean kakis.Our last gathering with all 4 present was BEFORE i entered poly. At least, we had a start and an end.  So as we lo-hei today on the 7th day of CNY, i wish you all happiness and blessings that the world can offer, which can be much if we are able to look beyond the money signs.May you huat, may I huat even more. This cny is a new beginning for all of us. Wish me luck as I take my virgin step into the working world. -crosses fingers- |
