Your Turn!

The insides of my ears are all crusty.

Now, that's all you have to guess where I've been and what I've done today.

Chalking up the obscure posts count as we go! :)

Okay, fine, for safe measure, here's another:
Fibreglass or Foam, Width, Floatation Device.

and that my friends, is all you have!

not meant to be.

oh boohoo.

Stereophonics is coming to town!
And I'm going to have to give it a miss,

AGAIN.

HURL.

I feel sick.

No, its not a physical ailment, its a heart condition.

The grass is always greener on the other side.
I know, because I sang the song, have always desired her tuff of orange curls, if not for myself for my very own child.

Day 3.

in chronological order.

1. Family lunch
2. Family Visit
3. Visit from another Family
3. Extended Family dinner
4. Cheesy Chinese New Year film (which was surprisingly HILARIOUS) with 1/5 th of uncle's FAMILY.
5. 3/5 th Family drive in fright from cheesy chinese new year film with eardrum busting volume control (correction: the lack of it)

Not for the Faint Hearted.

I finally braved myself to clean up my 'links' list.

Left unchanged for the past 4 years, names were interspersed with intentional spelling errors, and block letters in between to add 'edge' to what appeared then to my 16 year old self as sedate Times New Roman typography.

Now, what took me this long.

Even if it was 5 letters, every link held a story.
Its display style, the order (only alphabetized much later, didn't want accusations of playing favourites to hold!) and doh the blogs itself.
Others have moved on, deleting, leaving blogs stagnant, but I held on.
Well twentygasptwo calls for adultdoom, so I've clicked the memories into oblivion,
and marching on forward!

Oh, but there's those special few I'm stubbornly clinging on for dear life.
To remind me of how good it once was :)

Though I must add, very much against adult etiquette, I was very tempted to entitle the links column,wait for it,

FRIENDS4EVA.

toss and turn.

many sleepless nights ahead.

since we're here anyway.

I gave returnee's a miss,

Too drained from the week,

Spent the entire morning with the sister who didn't leave for home,
yumm casa ibera chorizo thing, almond croissant and really good soy latte : )

accusations of being geographically challenged, i was right!there was a bicycle shop along lygon,
being each other's harshest fashion critics,
planning her 'to get' list when she returns,
strategic rationing of our incoming supply of gula melaka biscuits from ipoh,
dodging people we didn't feel like speaking too,
'don't make eye contact', walk straight ahead motions.

ahhh, what a day.

thank you : )

Sweet damsel friend of mine
Whose hair resembles a mad vine
I regret to say that we of late
Have been estranged so here's a date

My last exam on **th November,
And if I rightly do remember,
The date coincides with your fair birth,
Your face, of course, gave the doctors much mirth.

Now my sweetheart, please don't tarry,
Or we'll end up with chicken peri-peri,
Let me know soon if you can make it,
I have to choose a place and stake it,

Is there anywhere you really want to go?
Or leave it up to me and I will show -
You to some food that's really quite neat,
Needless to say of course it's my treat.

Now please don't argue, it is too tiring,
And if you don't mind me enquiring,
Is there anything you want this year,
For a gift, or should I be quite cavalier?

If the date doesn't suit you pick another,
Until the 23rd if it's not too much bother,
Otherwise we'll just postpone the date,
And until we go home, it'll have to wait.

thanks fatty : )

: ))
you'll always be my one and only fatty. *shivers* haha.

i had to show the poem off,
to remain in my inbox, a dear loss.

foot in mouth.

6 years ago,

when i was in a team with 3 others,
debating over capital punishment,
in this dinghy little classroom in block b,
pavi or was it 'allhailqueensuga' made this comment,

blablabla.. two step dance, one, hand in mouth, blablabla, two blablabla.
something really witty,

which i'm sure wasn't original,
not an insult to her intelligence of course,but because i do remember her saying she read it off somewhere,

its bugging me, cause i just thought of it again, after so long,
and i can't find it online.

anyone?

succession?

it feels like i'm ready to take on another year.

i honestly want to agree,
we've gone this far,
it was never easy for me,
how i struggled to find my footing this year,
how tempted i was to give up midway,
and how i found it hard to get along with some,
and hard it was to learn to love others,
is this really the time to let go?

I need an answer.
and quick.
replies are to be in by sunday.

a public declaration:
i love my cell to bits.

oldfuddyduddys.

Happy birthday to my preeties, Didi and Ptooey,

and to my one and only smallboy/mrfashionista jamesyong.

more birthdays together please.
: ))

parting ways.

goodbyes always suck.
regardless of the number of times you've done it.
and regardless of the miles that's already there between them two individuals.
doesn't take a genius to figure that one out.

good luck rah.
a new journey/season ahead,make me proud.

and you know why goodbyes suck?
cause there's this nagging feeling that the friendship will dissolve,
and all you that you are to each other,
are
strangers.

GAH.

happy times.

I'm happy for you, you and you.

Really!

One's out/at/in the studio doing her 'thang', the other's done with assignments and is going to have an awesomepossum super duper exciting time ahead of her! (thankyouforsharingwithmeandmakingmyday!), the other 'killedit' at powergen.

the final frontier.

first space, second space,

ewan dood was really good.
Acts 17:16

and I'm glad I had that conversation today.
Its been way too long.

from being near inseparable, we've been reduced to hi bye friends.
and I thought he robbed me of a friend,
oh how wrong I was.

my bad.teehee.

I miss home.

reewwiiinnd.

I've screwed up my waking/sleeping hours.
Instead of being in bed, and remaining there for the next 8 hours,
I'm blurry eyed and wide awake.

~~~

so life here is not all happyhappyjoyjoy.
(just another one of those days. sighummms.)

Fly me home someone

: )

thankyoufor your ear number 4, and thankyou number4 for being considerate and aiming in the other direction.
but thankyou most of all, for the company.

what would I do without you and You?

the people that matter.

those back home, or were back home.

AND THEY PLAYED FALLING SLOWLY AT THE OSCAR'S!

Nothing Lasts Forever.

Its a wonder Malaysians aren't any fat-ter than they are right now at the rate we're all eating.

'payu udara', how to flirt with you 'si dia', bagaimana mengurangkan erhh double chin?
ahahahahaha!
(few of the many bimbotic comments Den the med student made in the span of 2 hours)

'we like hanging out with her cause she makes us feel smart'. - Mich, Jue

ohhh, I'm going to miss all of them.

......................................

After a year of being away,

the many attempts to hold my water in when someone makes a stupid comment and I get all red-faced, how whenever we meet up its always for food, or whenever we meet up there must always be food, (the Malaysian in all of us!) how the friends' boy stories never fail to entertain me, how the past is relived in voices, pictures, that card hidden beneath that pile of books.

These moments I hold dear to my heart (and not because I can use it against them friends 20 years down the line. haah.)

A lesson learnt, and not too late.

I'm happy : )

Part 1.

2007 in Pictures.

therahrah. windylindy.amanda. and of course jas can/should come along to.

l.o.v.e. did bring back some memories.

10 years down the road perhaps?

Thank You.

The friends were down for the weekend.
An eventful weekend it was.

From cake to chocolate/strawberry sundaes, to my first full man. u match.
As pathethic as this may sound, I don't like the distance between us.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Not a myth I hope.

Sometimes, absence does make the heart forget.
