after dinner, we walked down in search for a starbucks dat used to be at orchard pt. den we realised, orchard pt has become OG.. alamak. so we had to walk back. went to dat al fresco place in front of rouge to hav some drinks while waiting for my sis's frens to arrive & nic yap too.

when nic yap arrived, my other fren left .. nic & i drove down to raffles place - 7-11 to get drinks - den walked towards the s'pore river to sit and chit chat. left raffles place ard 12 - sent nic hm den i headed hm. was totally worn out.

the next morn, sis & i attended 12.30pm mass at Holy Trin.

after hanging ard for a while more, fie walked me to the bus stop to wait for the bus to get to temasek boulevard. had to meet my sis n parents for dinner at marina sq.

sentosa outing with parents on 151205

its been abt 10yrs since i last came to the sunny island wif my parents.
reached sentosa abt 12+pm
currently my sis works on the sunny island, so.. wif smthg fabulously created called the staff pass, we managed to take rides at much much lower prices & some even free!

i enjoyed myself very much.. esp taking the chair lift. altho the 1st round i was hanging onto the seat for my dear life. but the return journey was much more memorable. the view frm siting on the chair lift was superb. look at picture no.8, that's the chair lift.

we took the free shuttle services to travel ard the island, walked ard quite a bit to chk out the whole place.
it felt nice to be there. thank god also for the great weather. :)

waited for my sis to finish work den met at Sentosa Golf Club to have dinner at 6.30pm. the food was really yummy. sorry, lyd was obviously too hungry dat she devoured all the food even b4 she cud take pics of dem.. hurhur =P

after dinner, parents left in blackie, whilst i drove my sis & i to TM to chk out the Mango sale. both of us din end up buying anything cos all e stuff were damn boring. however, i ended up buying a pair of yellow shoes frm charles & keith! =) i like it quite alot i must say.. haha.

DID YOU KNOW?

ermm duno if many know dis but
I HATE NUTS IN ICE CREAM AND COOKIES!!!

yup.
ermm and next thing i wanna say is
i jus realised, cookies with nuts in em' sold at Famous Amos are really ugly!
they've got an odd shape.. obviously bcos of e damn nuts.
go chk out the no nuts choco chip - so beautifully crafted and shaped to perfection!

hurhur..
kk i'm obviously exaggerating.
but seriously, it is ez pz to differentiate the cookies wif nuts and those wifout.

yup so go grab a bag of cookies soon and start noticing em' instead of jus simply munching on em'! ;)
stop being so greedy guys.
sometimes u gotta stop and look at wat ure eating!
tsktsktsk... kids these days...

some random pics

comfort foods!

Thank God for the founding and creation of comfort foods.
I seek great solace in that in recent days.
seriously need to catch up on my losing weight plan.
as of now - it aint workin out.

i must say my mood's been pretty down bcos of personal disappointment
but hey.. Christmas is ard the corner and i have loads to be thankful and joyful abt!
i suppose i'll agree wif ivan on the fact dat, things always look bleak when ure stuck in it, but when u go bout it n pull urself out of the rut, u'll find it all worthwhile.

i'm jus surprised dis is taking such a toll on me.
i thot i cud handle dis better.

somehow cant wait to go to sch on wed n see my uni mates again.
miss dem n classes so much.. am i crazy?
to tink i miss the projects and meetings too!
gee i must be going nuts!

it's abt 3 weeks more til the start of a new semester.
i wonder how it'll go.
yesterday is history, tmr is a mystery.
tmr's a new day so make the best out of it!

Grace is off to Turks tonite.
I pray aunty irene & her will be safe and dat they will hav a great trip.

virtues

this evening's mass was great!
the mass was celebrated by Fr Ambrose Vaz - a visiting priest.
homily was also done by him. very very meaningful.

altho it was 1 of those 'lets reflect and look at the true meaning of christmas' kinda homily,
it really spoke to my heart and made me pause to tink abt it.
from the moment i stepped into the main church, my heart really felt at peace.
it was 1 of the most serene moments of my life. n i'm not sure why.
perhaps i felt Mother Mary's comforting presence..

i jus wanted to cry so badly in church earlier. was fighting to hold back all my tears altho some did leak.
i was shaking. nervous abt wad my dad wud tink or feel when i break e news to him.
wonder why i feel like i'm such a failure and y i cudnt hav done anything better.
why cudnt i hav been a better daughter?
my dad doesnt deserve such a dumb kid.

sorry i'm jus ranting.
but really.
*shrugs*

today marks the 3rd week of advent. a time of joy, in preparation of Christ's coming.
i need to seek solace. i need God. i need strength to overcome myself.
i tink i am my greatest weakness.
i dun feel the most joyful at dis moment. altho i do noe i hav a lot to be joyful abt.
i am. at a no. of things.
dere shudnt be any but(s)..
however, i am unhappy abt certain other things too.

i need to let it out of my system. some where , some how.

today's homily's main focus was on forgiveness being a virtue.
it was also mentioned dat we shud love, share, forgive and be Christ like.
if given a situation, tink abt how Jesus wud react. and perhaps amulate it.
can i be Christ like?
i know i want to be. i know i try. very hard.
Fr Vaz asked the congregation, wad is it that makes us (Christians) different frm e general public of pple who celebrate Christmas too?
He also asked how we (Christians) wanna remember our last (previous) Christmas to be?
do we wanna remember it for the great parties at whoever's place? or the great food we had at dis restaurant? etc..
or do we wanna remember more significant events like - who did we forgive last Christmas? who did we love last Christmas? did we spread God's love last Christmas? etc..

i tink dat was a gd question.
last Christmas, was good. i reconciled wif some pple. and forgave some pple.
i need to continue to do dat and i need to continue to love God's pple.
i need to be humble and i need to learn to be forgiving.

to all my dearest frens, i know dis may not be the best mode or means to communicate this but i still feel like conveying my feelings.
Before this year (2005) ends, i wud like to apologise to everyone.
every single one of u who reads dis.
i am sorry if i've been a lousy fren and i'm sorry if i havent been dere for u.
ur frenship has been a great gift and truly, there's nthg more i cud ask for.
Thank u all so much for always being patient wif me.
i noe i'm not the easiest person to deal wif, and i noe i hav tonnes of issues n moments.
and i apologise for u all havin to put up wif my shit time and again.

one thing's for sure, i appreciate each and everyone of u.
Thank u all for everything.
really hope dat God will continue to bless our frenship and may it continue to blossom.
my wish and prayer for each n everyone of u everyday is for u to be safe, happy and peaceful.

Forgiveness is a virtue.
One dat i shall keep to as long as i live.
Love transcends everything.
do u believe in dat statement?
i tink i do.

God bless u all.

feeling mixxy

it has been 4 days since i last blogged.
i wudnt say alot has happened in the past 4 days.. its jus dat i'm feel fuddy duddy inside me
mayb i know why i'm feelin dis way but i'm not gonna blog abt wad is making me feel dis way.

Christmas is coming. i gotta be joyful abt dat. i am. i tink.
but i'm not taking it well.
duno why i dun seem able to handle myself n all dis very well.
pretty disappointing i must say - on an objective note.
i mean, i tink wadever worries/troubles i'm facing now isnt the worst ever.

and i noe somehow dere's nthg much i can do abt it. but perhaps i jus cant help but feel dis way.
i need more self-control. i need to persevere. i need to get over dis.
sorry to anyone whom i've showed any attitude to or anything or if i've offended u in anyway.
jus bear wif me for dis period.
i is jus feelin real sucky. jus need to learn how to better channel my frustrations.

cant wait for sch to start agn. i'm gonna work doubly hard dis sem.
and according to my sis, sem 4 is the hardest. the toughest ever.
if she finds it a killer, i duno how i'm gonna pull thru it..
with God's strength i shall persevere and study hard.
shall not disappoint the pple who trust me and have so much faith in me.

vainity...

happily spent $133 buckeroos on my mane earlier today
was at far east wif grace & my sis dying our hair! :P
so vain huh?
new look for the season ma...
haa! i say! 1 yr frm now i is goin to perm my hair i say!
wah lao i hav been saying dis for duno how many yrs alr but still havent gotten down to doing it.. haii... duno y also.. :P
its either the hair's not long enough, or no money...

anyway so my hair isnt so goldeny blond anymore.
looks more tame now i wud say.. haha.
Christmas is coming. an additional need to look gd i suppose..
or is dat jus a casual excuse for me? hmmmm.. *shrugs*

met up wif fie for lunch at macs in Taka - finally settled my craving for nuggets! hurhur..
after which we walked ard a little b4 heading to far east to meet grace.
i tink the whole process of doing our hair took almost 2+hrs.. or mayb even more. gosh.
but itz worth while la.. considering i prolly wont do dis often..
splurging on myself once in a while wont kill rite.
after all i hardly get to do dat..

oh i tink itz gonna b a long week ahead.
but i'm not sure y i feel so apprehensive abt the week ahead..
well hope everyone will enjoy their 1st week of Dec ahead and prepare well for Christmas!

NOTE: THOSE WHO ARE CATHOLICS, DO NOT FORGET TO ATTEND PENITENTIAL SERVICE & BE RECONCILED WITH GOD!

this is a once in a yr event! Christmas is much more exciting den Chinese New Yr... hurhur =)
besides drinking, eating and merry making, amidst all the partying and enjoyment, perhaps we shud all look deep within ourselves and really reflect back on the whole yr (11mths) dat jus passed us by.
all the events, the happy & sad moments, the pple dat walked in and out of our lives, the pple we love, the pple we (intentionally/unintentionally) took for granted, the things we've said & done, the situations we've been in, the messes we've made, the procrastinations, hesitations, etc...

take care all.
God bless.

so i had to oblige.
we had Beach Rd Prawn Mee for lunch den went down to Expo for John Little sale, worked it all out, den nxt stop was airport T2 for Swensens salad, fries and topless 5.

considering the fact dat i din slp the nite b4 til 2+am, woke at 9.50am and had to shop ard in Expo. so freakin crowded. the queue was super super long. tink i queued for almost 40mins to make payment. gosh.

so after all those i got hm to take a 2+hr nap and woke up wif a heavy head. i'm seriously beginning to wonder if dere's smthg wrong wif my brain or head. always getting headaches and feeling exhausted. sigh.

after napping, we headed to bedok south for dinner den i met fie to catch up wif him.
