Xmas n the New year~

Last night was the gathering at Daryl's, and we had such a wii-cked good time!! Haa sorry for the pun but yes, it was the first time I've played so much wii in my entire life man! Uber fun can! The rabbids are totally insane!

But sadly i still maintained 3rd place after like. 2hrs of consecutive playing? With some help here n there from ed n shar.. how frustrating. lol but it was good fun! And super hilarious too!! Laugh until got abs man. I really love S41 meets. I guess each outing makes us treasure each other more somehow. Anyway i've got a few revelations for my new year resolutions after yesterday's gathering.. I think this year i've been too caught up in my own existence and never really realised the Lurrves around me. Cannot. This can't do. Must resolute to bring back the old me.

Ok I will talk about resolutions later.

Lemme update the second half of my dec this year..Basically, it's been filled with lots n lots of carolling, gathering and games, and movies onscreen and on HBO! Caught twilight with the hall peeps--the show everyone was raving about; and then Ip Man with Justin, keong, Bobs n Bao, which was such a fab kungfu show! Love it action-packed. The best part was the hilarious bits too, and I think my fav character in the show was Ip Man's wife! Firm n virtuous. Next time when I'm a wife I wanna be like that. haha! And then, being the tv junkie I am, I think I caught about at least five shows in the past two days on cable. MIB, Deuce Bigalow, Transformers, and like a few random others on HBO too. hurhurs.

Oh, then then on xmas night there was poker at AC's place! My first time there, and the first time he's using his newly made poker table! Haiyah so free make table. lol! ANw it was good, i'm sure this will continue this year..haha. Tho sadly I lost like 20bucks? But I will have better luck now! I just know it. My new xmas gift was a sign. haha.

Okays now about 2009's resolutions..looking back,

I think laziness and being single is majorly the reason i'm so jaded with life, but it is hardly a reason to be such a slob! I received something for xmas this season that shook me out of it. It wasn't anything big, but I was quite touched. Reminded me that I haven't been attentive to my friends around me..or perhaps I've not been really the person I want to be; maintaining the friendships around me and being more giving; I think the last time I really made something for a friend was a whole year ago! :( *if u don't count dating game*

There's so much happening in my life, and I'm real thankful for that, but I guess I could be happier. I haven't been doing the things I want to do for others, and I think I know the reason why. Procrastination is Evil. Dang we all know that but we keep doing it don't we. There is so much to work on myself this year..my last year in KR already, counting down from this sem, I cannot regret NOT doing anything!

So. This coming year, I resolute to;
1) Be more giving
2) Sleep less
3) Initiate more gatherings
4) Let go and be abit more crazy; it's FYF period! :(
5) Stop being so cynical of life
6) Contribute more in projects
7) Keep my room clean--I will totally miss my 3yrs in it!
8) Meet up with friends all over
9) Expect more of myself
10) Win more @ poker! hahaa (okay this is not mandatory)

Things I know won't change: (hopefully reverse psych helps here)
1) Being such a tv junkie
2) Being such a fbwhore
3) Believing in beauty in my mess (乱中带美, you know?)
4) Loving food (moderation, i must remind myself)
5) Blogging sporadically (can't help la. easier to juz upload pics on fb)

Yups, that should be it for resolutions.. But anw, I hope by next xmas, I'll see myself giving more gifts!! For real. Not exchange gifts only. I hardly gave out any this year! And hopefully summer won't see me too americanised, nor depressed cos I'm alone overseas..I'm really looking forward to it now and I hope that never hits me.

May 2009 bring a new horde of friendships my way, and keep the old ones gold and lasting!

Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat! :)

haha I am laughing at my title now cos it just reminds me how my bro changed the word "goose" to "you" when he was trilling it to me. -_-' right. lol fine. but I am happy!! It's my fave season of the year!! Although i still wish i'm in US with the sis but well. Christmas songs are playing on the radio and Christmas Carols are stuck in my head so all is jolly and goooood. :)

Nooow. wassup w my hols.. it's been carolling, carolling and more carolling! Tml got, xmas also got 4 sessions! but it's been an experience, really. I had sports but i think i've been going for more chingay dance pracs more than either flrball or touch. *guilty* Love the dance pracs tho! Quite fun esp when me n xun are such good partners!

Anyway, I can't believe I'm currently in hall on the eve of eve of xmas.. Just went around chatting to Joe and Dennis, who I've both not talked to a long time already, and it was good to catch up! Realised that alot of couples have sprouted around this festive season, which is, a good thing i guess. Been chilling out abit here and there with great company, and it seems this december has flown by!

Oh yes, and of course there was the USA, which is, everything I've expected and more! Definitely satisfying; and I'm half glad I'm going back in the summer.. half glad, and abit half scared. But that's another story.

Shall post up pics of recent times!! And prolly some of my fav US pics. Most are in fb alr anyway.

Alrighty Merry Christmas everyone!!

Timbre w e hall peeps~

Foolin' around downtown east before Ip Man. Fantastic show!! I wanna watch it again! :)

Hello! updated! :D

Okay guys i admit i'm the laziest blogger ever. haha. hello, when texas is just one click away, how can i not fall for its temptation? ;P

but anyway since i've been trying to mug but ended up facebooking and blogsurfing, i might as well stop this week-long procrastination..(and procrastinate my studying abit further).. :P

Hm skipping all the whining about studying, this week and the last has actually been pretty relaxing and fun! I love mugging with my blockmates, esp if i don't have to mug as much (haha peeps don't kill me)! Spent most of the time in the reading room this sem, and amazingly its been pretty useful! Lots of jokes n funny stuff in between like jan and her Shrek ears and AC with his sleeping shots;

which helps to keep me awake when it gets monotonous.. :P

And not to forget the occasional i repeat. Occasional. Poker sessions. sian, that afternoon was juz pay to see other people win. :( And HEROES!! yay tomorrow the next ep comes out, i can't wait! haha shucks it can't be detrimental if it is only once a week right? :D MOtivation to study, no? Beanie should agree. :P And then we started abit of Karaokeparty.com too! that was a mistake at 5am. hurhur. Happened after a night out studying with xun and lester, scouring the boat quay area for a 24hr study place..We ended at TCC and Macs in e end, and it was quite a fun night, tho i won't exactly say fruitful..not as much as expected. Too comfy at tcc, and too burnt out by the time at macs..it was funny tho, the Domokun parts..haha i never noticed the resemblence. hinthint* xun & kun. lol.

Seriously. i can't wait for friday to come! Thats when my long-awaited paper is and also when i fly off to the U and the S and the A!! yayyayyay. This sem is slack dao bao. Pretty excited cos i'll be going with the small brother, and i know its gonna be super fun! Already drooling over caramel apples in my mind. My childhood fantasy sweet can. I still haven't try yet. go there muz at least eat a few. And i'll be in the state where my fav guy phil from Wongfuproductions lives! San Franc! i think not many in spore know about them but anw. check out wongfuproductions.com if u must. :)

Okay, enough of slacking. I hope this short post whets ur appetites. :)

Barack Obama - Yes We Can music video

Barack Obama--He truly is inspirational! I've been watching videos of his speeches in the past hour or so, and I was super touched! I guess in speeches he obviously is supposed to say impressive stuff to gain votes, but he really did it fabulously, and I think he truly deserves to win the votes of those 60% of AMericans out there.. I'd vote for him too!

America needs change, and he is so on the right path of the changes the people want to see. I think there has been enough suffering in wars and more than enough abuse the Americans have done to this planet, and i'm glad Obama is going to put a stop to it. Or at least he says he is. His work is cut out for him and people truly believe he will carry it out..I believe he will carry it out. And I'm secretly glad it took a Black American to start that change. Something special has happened in history, and I really hope it is going to be a change that saves our little planet!
God Bless America, really.

Yikes. Rushing project parts and my 10 pager this week!! Work is finally kicking in. But so is Pink n Blue, Night Cycling, Choir for Culture Night, Floorball and Touch Trainings, Hari Raya gathering at Shar's (can't wait) and Deepavali, and the many bdays in between.

Life seriously sticks its finger in your eye when u're not looking eh?
Lovin' it tho. :)

P.S Plan S in action!

HunnyBunnies and Runnysunnies

I am full of mixed feelings right now. A good friend of mine just told me he mightn't stay single anymore for long.. Was chatting about the sweet little things they've started to do for each other..so aww-worthy..*sighs*

Brings back old memories and nostalgic feelings of the excitement you get doing something for someone new in your life, someone you wanna spend more time with..and those blushing, happy moments when you receive something back in return.. quoting Kt, "the best feeling in the world is when the person u like, likes you back".. So sweet! Haha I am really happy for that particular couple, really.

Recently so many couples have been blooming around me like flowers in the spring..Reminds me of a scene in "Secret Garden". Okay i dunno why i'm feeling so wimpy now, but I guess it's the old seasonal gripes at this time of the year, when xmas is creeping ever so quicky over, and it's just, u know, a special time to set apart for both Family and for a special someone..And I think it's just that new sexy black dress, sitting in my cupboard now that I know I won't be wearing for anyone...that's raking up the dusty autumn leaves in my Edrive. E for emotions. :(

Well. I think I am abit down too, amidst the swirl of happiness for the lovebirds around me; I can offically now confirm that I am not gg for NOC. I can' t say I should've seen it coming, because I thought it was a pretty good interview. Really disappointing. It just reminds me once again how again u can keep failing at something u keep going for, like a small girl trapped in a slippery well. I just keep slipping downwards! *sobs*

But, someone wise told me once me not to be too hung up on failure, for it only takes one success to make it right.

I do hope he is right, because right now, too many wrongs just don't make a right in my life.

Sometimes, it really hurts so badly inside when i read everyone's lives of SEP from their blogs. Why am i alone in this? I wish myself away. When will my chance come? I really really want to see the moon from the other side of the world...

My time is slipping away..when will I get my chance? :(

Where the Hell is Matt? (2008)

THis is such an awesome video! It's amazing how the world feels smaller nowadays isn't it? It just takes one man show the beauty in just one video. AHh i wanna travel too!!

Oi mei, see the bnj wristbands?? ahha i buaypaiseh still ask for extra for you.. see i so nice. It rocks hor. So pretty! :D Anw took pics w all the managers n TK and there was only ONE GUY from my batch!! Which was Stuart. THe FIRST ever guy to join BNJs. lol okay just look at the pics. :)

Yes, Yingying came too! :)

F1 Qualifying!

AND I WENT DOWN TO THE F1 TRACKSSSS!! I GOT TO GO!! super super super exhilarated. It was such a god-given chance anw..was still ranting yesterday when the test trials were going on, that I'd give anything to be at the race, and today at 630pm, Tiffany called with an extra ticket with Ben that they didn't want to waste!! OMG omg omg. wooots! THanks Tiff! It was super exciting and I'm really glad u chose me to ask along! :)

We sat near the corner at the bend near the floating stage marina, and the view was not the most awesome, but it was thrilling enough! Ours was the bend in the road, where the cars had to slow down abit, so we really got to see the details of e cars and caught a tad more action.. it lasted pretty fast though, after a zooming past a dozen times, which barely took half an hour, five racers were eliminated. Then there was a break in btw for the pitstops, and then more zooming again in e next ten minutes, and it was really intense cos Lewis Hamilton, supposedly e best, was like the last of the top ten previously, and in e second part he got first, then became second as he was trashed by Masa. Okay I don't really know much, but I'll read up soon! haha.

Anyways the excitement was in the air, and i think the night added to the thrill of it all.. Why Singapore so small..if we had more land to dedicate to night racing we could have it all year round! But then. I still think its a waste of resources. lol. Heaps of people came down tho! I think lots of money was made from this. There were Germans, Spanish, Italians, Americans..basically angmohs of all sorts.. and oh yes! Jamie Yeo and Glenn Ong came late and they sat like, 6meters away from us! haha and two teenage guys went up to ask jamie for a shot..so amusing.

Btw, as we were squishing our way thru e crowd to get to our grandstand, we passed a whole horde of Lambos parked near marina..walau damn cool shit. Apparently the F1 racers are chauffered around in those..first time I see so many lambos! haha so swaku.

And the best part is, when e races were done, the throng of ppl started shifting to exits..Damn alot of ppl i tell u. Me, Tiff n Ben decided to wait..and guess who came by! LANCE! haha and we stay in e same place!! So we decided to split, and I am so super lucky Lance got an SLR w him! Tiff n Ben shlda stayed. We tried studying abit on the brightly-lit seats, but after like. 15mins we couldn't take it cos the track was open!! We snuck down and took pictures w his SLR.. wahahaha! How many ppl can say they did that. On freshly raced grounds! lol. took photos w the tire marks and the dangerous bends and the road, everything! hurhur i think I really swaku to the max. But it's just something i think not many ppl would've done before.. only can look from behind the cages of the WORLD'S FIRST NIGHT RACE EVERRR!! haha super happy!!

The cool pictures are still w lance of course, who's damn sweet and said he'd burn them into a cd for me. He really caught damn closeup shots of the cars at e race too! SWEET. esp my fav redbull car. Will post them up when they're here! Felt bad cos he took pro pics of me and was coaching me on photo-taking skills e entire time but my standard still cldn't match his..so sorry lance! Hope pics of u still turned out fine.. :P

Okay 'nuff said, I'll juz post the sad few pics I took! V good can catch e cars w my canon alr...haha. :)

Me n Tiff w our passes! :)Pretty Tiff!

Hurhur I look super happy.The huge billboard we missed. ...and got lost.The barred area of Lambos!! can't see much here.

Commentator follows race onscreen, and e car I caught! :) Okay. pictures don't do the excitement grace.

Me n Lance!

hehe lemme share some of e action here. :)
