of sights and sounds.


On the Marina Barrage's trail to the Green Roof.


The structure's pretty stylish and curvy, I like.


See the colour difference in the waters? It isnt my camera's fault. Guess which side's the sea, and which side is the waters they use to send for purification and processing into drinking water?


Brave soul climbing stairs. The stairs are endless.


Henderson Waves (:


See the curvilicious wave ahead? Nice.


Forest Trail, after we moved off from the Henderson Waves. Its pretty darn long.


Past this, we hopped onto the bus to Queensway. Civilisation!

So it was a good day out with my ears doing the listening (to Amal talking and the sounds of nature), my eyes doing the sightseeing (of lovely structures, the flora and fauna.. and hellish stairs), my legs doing the walking (up the Marang Trail.. It was like wtf).
And I swear I want to get a new pair of shoes that is nice and comfy to wear out on days like this.
I want to do this more often.
Any brave souls who is willing to accompany me (: Haha.

Its a rare day that there's nobody else home but me. Sure feels good, cos' in a way I've the time and space to do whatever I want. Been hooked onto Facebook's Word Challenge. I wonder how the top scorers even got to that high a score! Seriously. I'm barely making it at the 2000 odd mark. Gahh.

Having sorted through the cards again, I opened each and every single one of them to read their contents. I must admit, with every card I read, a warm feeling creeps into my heart, and it makes me smile. I finger the handwriting, the words. They remind me of gratitude. In a way I am very lucky, I know. I am thankful. Now they are tied up again in the two bundles that they came from, tucked away safely into my drawers.

I'm craving for bubble tea again. Haha. And chocolates. And piping hot fish and chips! Yum.

Listening to Secondhand Serenade, Fall For You.
Still reading (:

I can chew (: And because I can chew, I'm craving for solid foods. Like really, solid foods that I can actually eat and not simply swallow. After reading Amal's post, man I could feel the urge to eat and chomp away on Ben and Jerry's, try Popeyes at T3, and eat Fish n Co's seafood platter, and savour Island Creamery's ice cream brownies! The list goes on.

Ah, I love surprises (: And the thing that gets me impatient is the way people throw in a bait, but dont reveal anything. Tsktsk. Well thats what a surprise is right? Patience Angie, patience.

And I officially hate the molar bands. Stupid hooks and blah. Hmph. I'm easily irritated by that recently.

It was a good day out at the national museum, yes. My favourite there was the huge, rusty, and ancient film-making machine. The best. And there were the living history galleries, really really cool. Just that the trail got me tired out after 3hours of walking. Guess I'm getting older by the day.

And clam chowder at The Soup Spoon was lovely. Its a pity I didnt finish it. But thats cos' the serving was huge okay. American style, no kidding. Plus I cannot chew my foods, still. Blame it on my small mouth, small stomach. HAHA.

Yes, I'm gonna raid the libraries and find all my books. Gimme the books, gimme gimme the books. Rahh.

But as of now, I really should start by packing up my room properly. This means at least 24hours dedicated to just packing. No, make that 48hours. Sigh. Then I need a job, I want to get a good mp3 that isnt too pricey, I need to get organised again! Boooo.

Will someone please teach me how to stop procrastinating. Will someone please teach me how to land a job with a huge salary, but without the hassles? Like hell it will happen. Its a recession. Rolls eyes. I feel stuck.

This really, isnt getting me anywhere.

Listening to Chris Daughtry, What About Now.

Such a weird combination. Whatever. I'm feeling out of sorts too.

of a sleepless night

Last night was the worst night I've ever had. Being kept awake by the pain was just crazy, I thought I was gonna die or something. Lol.

2 am, I woke up to the dull ache, and heard people on the 6th storey playing mahjong. Reminded me of Xuewei and Yvonne, I dont know why. 3 am, I was still tortured by the pain, I swear its the hardest hour to pass. 4 am, I was near tears. 5 am, finally, like finally, I hit out like a light.

I thought of happy things, dreamt of a particular day in March '09, of applause and cheers, and of happy times spent with people around me. I wished for happier days, and wondered about my upcoming holidays.

Thats how I spent the night.

I cannot promise you a forever, because I've never really believed in forevers. I cannot give you a fairytale ending, because I've learnt that fairytales never come true. I cannot claim to be there for you forever or in all circumstances, but I'm willing to make good of the times we share together.

I dont know if you are reading this.

Me too. But we just need to hang in there.

swollen, numb, and OUCH.

I have a low tolerance level for physical pain. I think. Or maybe its the thought of having to extract two teeth that scared me to shyt. No one in the right frame of mind would have scheduled for damned teeth extractions on her last day of exams, but yes, I did. And its over (for now).

No pain, no gain? Perhaps.

And I was secretly happy when the dentist praised me for having strong teeth. Lol. The only downside to that, is that it took her slightly longer to finish the job. It took more rough pulling and pushing and jerking to pluck them out.

But yay, its over. Starting to hurt real badly though. Boo. Well I felt like a real retard who couldnt feel her mouth and couldnt drink properly when the anaesthesia hadnt worn off. Shrugs.

And... Yay (: I've been waiting for this day to come. For A levels to be officially over. Now its to wait till March '09.

I need a job. I need money. I need to shop for decent clothes. I need to pack my room. Tuition, anyone?

I've missed my friends, too.

Lets just say that I have moods which change like the ocean. Now I just wish to be left alone.
Can I have this dance?


Looped at one end, stranded and helpless on the other.




12:33 PM
Avenue Q



Caught Avenue Q with Cunzheng, and it was definitely a memorable musical, with its perks and hilarious storyline. I especially loved Kate the Monster and Lucy the Slut. Lol. And the songs are the ultimate crack-me-up. Try listening to "The Internet Is For Porn" without laughing. I'll bet you millions that you cant. Haha.

But at the end of the day, it left me with just one question to ponder about. And that is, what is my purpose in life?

Purpose. It sets the directions in one's life.

Purpose.

Such a difficult word to try and define. I'm only 19, I havent seen much of this world, havent been to many places, havent found my calling, havent fulfilled all my ambitions, havent done anything much for myself, or for anyone, to begin with.

Wth, I dont even know what I really want to achieve in my life. As of now. Nothing is for certain. Nothing is for sure. People come and go; plans change, people change. The world keeps moving on and on.

What I do know for sure, is that I've my everydays to look forward to, and I wish that everyday is a good day. I'm luckier than many, cos' I have friends, and a family who love and care for me.

Where will my purpose lie? Will I find it today, tomorrow, or never?

I still blush with embarrassment when I think about last night.

I'm guilty of being easily attracted to good looking guys. They're good looking, why not? My eyes appreciate good things okay. Thats why we call them our eye candies. I wont try to be greedy and want them, but c'mon, admit it, its just human nature.

If its against the law arrest me.

But you cant stop me. Haha.

Ah yes, HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUDREY. My sister, who accompanied me through this one year of.. lets just say, ups and downs. Yes. She's 18 now!




Tuesday, November 11, 2008, 6:53 PM

Its incredible how I can look calm and be logical, but actually feel a whole lot differently inside. I hate being too logical. Its scary. It makes me think too much, read too much. Yet when I'm logical, I cant feel.

I cant feel anything at all.

I cant trust. When I trust, I fall deep.

I dont think anyone really knows me at all. Never mind.

Screams. Tomorrow will be a better day, yes yes yes.


Listening to A Lack Of Colour, Death Cab For Cutie.




6:13 PM
i could have passed you on the sidewalk.

Econs essays are over and done with. My most dreaded double day (Chem and Econs) is over. Hurray? Naw. 3 papers to go. I so badly wish I could turn back time and go back to doing the papers all over again.

But too bad!

Its making me feel all f**ked up. How to tahan till March like that!

I wanna vanish into thin air and just disappear like that. Naw, I've already done that.

one month.

Down to Physics, Econs and Chemistry.

This year's papers are a tad different from that of last year's; maybe they were right in saying I should have just gone for it last year.

Crazy. Haha. But really, this time the questions are tougher =x

I'm still feeling kinda numb, like I've been drilled into this momentum and I cannot imagine how I'm supposed to spend the days when the A levels are over.

I know, I sound pretty much cocky. Plenty of time on my hands, but just lacking abit of financial support.

Truth is, I can always reflect back on the fact that perhaps I didnt make the wrong decision then, to go through another year. I am glad, I am thankful, because I chose to take another chance to make things right for myself. But when I really open my eyes, and look at whats going on around me, I no longer feel that way, and this whole thing actually makes me feel like a loser. It reminds me of how I've lost some things in the process, of how I may never find them back again, as much as I try to. I think that its just a phase which I'm still having difficulty getting past.

I'm praying really hard that I dont disappoint myself come March '09. I wanna get a nice result slip. Forward looking? Forward looking.

And thank you to you guys who smsed wishes of good luck(:



It's 7 Nov; it's our one month(:
