are there times that u feel nobody understands u or mayb even better, u dun even understand urself? i'm sure dere r moments like these... how does one handle it den? run away, suppress, tink abt it or talk abt it? human relations is a complicated topic. i have come to realise dat often, it is not easy to understand the other gender. n i believe vice versa.
y & how so? i'm not too sure myself. however, i do find myself constantly trying to comprehend the minds of others so much so dat my thots become so complicated somehow. sometimes unnecessary but sometimes important. are there issues dat u feel u cant talk abt openly? how does one find the courage to speak up den? isnt communication the essence to the flow of a good relationship/friendship?
talk abt being understanding, it obviously teams itself up with patience. doesnt everyone have a limit to that? dere r sometimes dat i jus dun want to bother bcos it wears me out. i get frustrated at the idea that i may be the only person affected by certain feelings/thots.
sometimes u miss someone, sometimes u dun. love is important.. but doesnt love exist between friends and family? so wad makes love between a guy & a girl special or different? it's pretty cliche how anniversary cards or those 'to someone special cards' express so much abt feelings.. special? who is special? r we sure we noe wad special means?
the expression of oneself. some i noe write songs, some take time alone to tink, some talk to many pple & share their idealogies/emotions, some choose not to bother and some, perhaps dun even care. r there actually pple who r "heartless" or "conscienceless"? i tink there are. however i do noe of someone who seems to care endlessly somehow & isnt afraid of letting u noe dat fact.
boys/guys/men/old men... how do we girls understand the way they behave or tink? isnt dere gonna be some kind of devine intervention? or is God the only "being" that understands both men and women?
wad is important in a relationship that exists between a guy & girl today? the sharing of feelings & emotions (communication), pure companionship, physical intimacy like sex, or the thot that there mite b a bright & long future ahead between the couple (everlasting love)?
seems like most youngsters have twisted & deranged minds these days. some get hurt alot by love, some seek pleasure & comfort in love, some seek fun & companionship and some jus dun need it. sometimes i jus wonder... y cant relationships of today be simpler than wad it is..? does it need to be complicated & twisted? the whole idea of courtship is fun but i tink agreeing to a relationship changes certain things.. no?
oh well... guess it's always easier to take things easy. "dun let it affect u!" everyone says. can it really be done? "jus ignore it!" often heard? can this be done either? perhaps so for some. i can be one of the some! i have a great book that i must recommend everyone. own it since sec sch.. it's called: 'Don't Sweat The Small Stuff... and it's all the small stuff' this book really helps by giving u simple ways to keep the little things from taking over your life! anyone wanna borrow? let me noe ya... perhaps i shud re-read dis book soon.
today's jus one of those days..... i'm in pain all over!!! totally stayed "bed-ridden" the entire day... so guai rite? bo bian... suffering so cannot complain...
anyways it's called need to recuperate for Wala tmr nite. i'm sure the band will be smashing! (: *beams* cant wait to bond wif cuzy too! haa
my sis turns 25 today! (: met her & jamie in paragon to have lunch at Sushi Tei. den indulged myself to a nice cup of coffee ice cream which was simply wonderful to end of my meal.. haha

after lunch, jamie headed back to her office while sis & i took a walk to Mandarin Hotel to pamper ourselves to nice mani & pedi. price was reasonable thanks to sis's UOB lady's card... *evil chuckles she paid for me ma... so kind lor.
after we finished, we walked to Taka - Zara, Puma, Stadium to jus take a look. oh & Wisma's FCUK, Warehouse & Topshop too. amazing how my sis can earn & save. takes a lot of self discipline but i must say she does a damn good job at it. ;)
so we jus KLKK.. until greg came to pick us frm Marriott. headed home to relax for a while before heading out to dinner at TM. dined at 'Din Tai Fung'. all these Chi-na pple. cant even speak english lor. when pple talk to dem they treat us like we're transparent. WTH~!!

today's the eve of my sista's birthday... was out wif my papa.. went to check out communic asia exhibition at S'pore Expo.. heh the moment i entered Hall 6, i was overwhelmed! everybody is well dressed! and in fact, they do have an appropriate dress code attire. darn it. i wasnt told! as i entered the hall, not only did everyone look at me funny, i felt damn out of place. the whole exhibition was pretty much BORING. cept for the Sony Ericsson, Motorola, and Samsung booths. the rest were mostly gadgets & gizmos. haha :P
totally not my sorta thing... duh. dat's y i aint in the telco line noe wad i mean..?! hahahahaa ok so after the exhibition i acced my pipipapipu for a lil lunch den he dropped me off at tanah merah so i dat i cud rush my way down to the sunny island of Sentosa....
thankfully by the time i got dere it aint dat sunny no more.. in fact it was pretty cloudy... haha. but nice la on route to Siloso beach, i passed by the tourism academy.. i must say dere was a certain sense of pride as i passed the place. seems like jus yesterday dat i was in yr1 n everything. brought back alot of memories. esp the other time when a few of us had to go to Sentosa to take a couple of pics for some Intl mag to publicise the academy.. oh well.. wish the current juniors pursuing their passion all the best. (: cuz! we made it! ;)
so found the beach bums finally .. took some pics den helped to look after their stuffssss... while they showered n wad not. after dat we left the island and went out seperate ways at Habourfront.
Rushed into the mall to look for my sis's bday cake & sadly it started to rain & it was already 6.50pm! n dinner was supposed to be at 7pm.. so i had to rush! decided to take a cab cos bus10 wud take ages to reach siglap. in the end i had to wait for the rest for half an hr. haha oh wellzzz... so we had a great dinner at Werners Oven... :) great food at greatly expensive prices too. haha :p come on man $17-19 for a damn Sausage wif mash potatoes?! k la but it makes u seriously damn full after dat. i jus ordered myself a classic chicken chop. :)
so after dinner we headed to Fisherman's Village to chill out cos Donovan insists to count down to sis's hatch day so we jus obliged. :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISTER!!!! quater of a century old dat's all... dun worry bout it ya? ;)

wad a cloudy sunday man... was supposed to go tanning wif my sis & greg but we ended up going to Jurong Bird Park. hehehe damn funny sia.. but it's been a long time since we last visited the place.. so far somemore.. but nonetheless we made a trip dere. entrance fee was $14 each.. damn i forgot to bring my camera so no pics.. sorry had lunch at the macs dere den walked in for a birds eye view. no pun intended.. haha.
dey've got new enclosures & species of birdies! so groovy lor.. hee penguins were so cute too! altho i cant quite identify the fairy penguins... :( the all star bird show was really cool man! i so love the cockatoos!!.. haha.. those white parrots... so pretty.. & those colourful ones frm south america too!! tink they're called macaws! so pretty really. green, blue, scarlet, orange, midnight blue... so nice lor seriously..
and the owls!!! my gdness the snowy dudes r so freakin huge la! very very big. fluffy & tall. haa but still quite cute la.. so wanted to cuddle dem! hee! after a humid day at JBP, we headed to SSC to have a dip in the pool to cool down b4 going back to greg's place for a shower & jus relax.
waited for parents to come pick us after church den went to Old Kallang Airport for dinner! wow.. prawn mee!!! *slurps* gd stuff man! :P
my unsunny but humid sunday ended dis way... :) goodnite to u.
11 June 2005 didnt really go anywhere today.. went to TM for lunch, Grace's house, Bedok Corner for dinner & back to TM agn for coffee & a movie wif my sis, greg, claudia & elson. we caught mr & mrs smith. nice action pack movie which was pretty sweet la. but bottom line is --- dun expect too much out of it. i cant wait to catch initial d tho!! edison chen, jay chou r staring in it! and the show is abt cars & racing! coolness! haa! ok it's been quite a long day so peace out---..---
day dedicated to catching up with my buddies frm TP.. Arun, Shahmini, Alex, Jonathan & Woan Ni.. gdnesssssssssss... it's been ages since i last spoke & caught up wif woan ni. she looks grt now & i guess she's happy wif the way she is now. but den again.. it's hard to ever see woan ni upset. her laughter is by far THE most infectious one i've ever heard. the moment she starts laughing dat's it. anything dat's jus not even funny can become hilarious thanks to her. lectures were never quite the same without her after she left TP. lunches & our 'power clique' was jus down to mostly me & arun after she left too.. jon was ard off & on cos he's workin so MIA most of the times.. mich santiago kinda landed herself wif a new clique dat had problem wif arun so yup. isaac.. also left sorta bcos of ivan & jon.. but we had new members too.. alex & sha. :)
so i had driving at 12pm. after dat headed to meet the rest at parkway. went to Giant supermarket to buy snacks, orange juice, beer & Sprite. the juice & sprite were meant as mixers for our vodka. eeewww vanilla vodka wif orange juice sucks so dun bother trying.. to tink i thot it'd taste jus like any normal screwdriver. i was totally wrong man.. after making our purchase, we made our way to east coast beach. weather was pretty hot but we managed to get ourselves a nice table-bench facing the sea, near 7-11.
the guys went to buy ice to chill our drinks. wudnt want to be having warm cocktails now wud we? *yuck* so moving on.. we sat & chat & gossiped .. our lil way of catching up la i guess.. time passed really quick & as usual... i was the 1st 2 get wasted. lyd always is the 1st to get high.. wad the heck man... weak i say.. oh well.. so we sat & i read my book all the way til 7, jon left ard 6+ & ivan came by 7+ to have dinner with us. our intention was to go to Lagoon for dinner.. but unfortunately it was raining so we had to settle for Macs.. heh
after the rain subsided, we parted ways.. dat was ard 8+. was left to take the damn bus with ivan. whole way i cudnt find anything to talk to him abt. i noe i was tired so din quite bother. mayb i shud hav said i wasnt goin hm den i wudnt b stuck taking the same bus as him.. *rolls eyes* but anyhow bo bianz.. so we took 31. talked as if we were strangers or new frens sorta thing.. best part is he had to ask me in the midst of our journey, "is dere nthg to talk abt between us?" *PUI* ok wait. y m i even talking abt him anyway. but i thot abt it la. i mean it's time i forgive & forget. since i noe dere's no way in hell anything's ever gonna happen between us again or more like dere's no way i'm gonna let anything happen between us again. so jus let it go la huh? easier said den done but it has to be done. soon.
our bus ride was quite sucky. it's been a long time since i last saw him & had a decent conversation wif him but all he cud come up wif was sacarstic remarks & statements. i punched him in the chest 3 times for all the stuff he said. *pissed off* i did tell myself to tahan. but it's called cannot make it. the way he said it plus his sickening look whilst he's saying those stuff really irritated me.
so finally he alighted at his stop. whereas i continued on to tamp interchange to meet Mas to collect stuff frm her. when i saw her, i must say i felt much better somehow la.. managed to pour my heart out to her.. had a chat wif her for a while b4 we each headed home for the day..
below r pictures we took in the day.. =)

but it's ok la.. =) haa so after beach rd shopping, we took a bus to city hall, raffles city, to have err... tea time snack? at BK dat is :) hungry & hot we were so had to cool down & have a bite u c... after indulging,we finally got our butts moving & took a train back to the east cos it was almost book in time for him. tink he spent abt exactly ONLY 24 hrs out in CV life. poor chap man. he made a gd joke tho. can u imagine them at the guard hse bookin in den say u bum into a fren: "hey i tink i saw u yesterday man" & ur fren replies "oh is it? where?" den u answer "here la!"
haa! cheesy & lame but it's true. sad case. so yup.. dat's the life of an army boy i guess... smthg us girls wud nvr understand...
