High on Chocolate!

Warning: This blog post has many rubbishy pictures. Anyway, today was the first day of my 5 week attachment, not bad, it went pretty alright. Though I regret to inform myself that my holidays have come to a rather tragic and dire end. There goes my nocturnal lifestyle, and my idling the nights away driving all around and hanging with friends :( I really do hope that I get at least a week's break before returning to school for the new semester!
These pictures were taken on Friday night. Went to east coast park, and Mizu, Pearlyn, Rachel and myself all saw a shooting star together. It was a beautiful sight!

I think I was really tired that day, and after a few sips of Chocolate Ice blended, I went completely locco.

Punishing ourselves in Coffee Bean.

In mourning.

Shukuing.

See no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil!

Woo!

We look like we are cheerleading! Hahahah!

You are the dancing queen, young and sweet...

While we were doing all of this, Zean was just being gay.

He's posing like the owner of my ah boi :D
But we all know the truth...haha!
I really love the East Side. Seriously, for the past few weeks I was in the east every day without fail! Now I need to sleep early so I can't go out late, so today I am not going :( I miss the east already, so sad, *SOB*
And by the way, I think Chocolate Ice Blended in Coffee Bean, the standard has dropped drastically. Not nice at all. Starbucks is still and will always be the best!
I had a fantastic Saturday! I will soon blog about it.
P.S. Why in the world are so many crazy people getting married, or worse, having babies at like 24 or 25? What is wrong with everyone??? Jane and I were just talking about it, like every other day we log into Facebook to find one of our friends from our cohort getting married. Freaky! Getting married can't be all that happening can it? It's like so much of commitment, routine and boredom. Everyone should enjoy their lives to the fullest first before taking such a huge step. This is where my brother and I fully agree I guess! Haha!

I Have a New Name: Sora Wu Xien

Today is another very funny day. Really so funny that I laughed until I nearly puked out everything that I ate. Before I proceed to enlighten the rest of the world with the nonsense that went on today, I shall announce my new name. I am now known as Sora, Wu Xien. Sora in Japanese = Sky and Wu Xien in Chinese = infinity, so yeah I'm sky infinity.

Today was a rather busy day, running around. Alot of funny things happened. Firstly, went to SP for the dance rehearsal.

This is how I look like when I am tired and unglam, sleeping on the stage in a huge garage t shirt and leggings. Si beh unglam.

This was in the midst of achieving something. Me and Mizu in front, Suki, Lirin and Banana behind us.

I think the SP outdoor stage is quite cool, isn't it?

This is in Borders carpark, Zean want to try my driver's seat. After SP, headed over to town, brought them to Far East to look for costumes while I ran around trying to look for work clothes. Managed to buy 2 pairs of shoes and a skirt. Thank God for Osmose, they actually had a size I could fit without alteration!

He is practicing how to swear at Taxi drivers next time. Zean was very sweet, thanks for accompanying me to get all my stuff after the rest left and for helping me carry my shopping bags. I really appreciate it :D

This was at Simpang Bedok. After I was done shopping, Mizu met us and we headed over to pick Kaka up from Serangoon then went to Bedok to Makan. Met Pearlyn and some others there.

Food! Ice cream prata & Hokkien Mee...The rest of the food I lazy to take pics.

This was at the shell, I have no idea what we are doing, Trying to be homies but I think failing miserably. We should stick to being Beng & Lien.

See what I mean? We do this better, fight liao! Haha

Under the umbrella-ella-ella-eh-eh-eh.

Tomorrow I have to attend a meeting in the school I am posted to, damn sian, then working at 7plus in the evening. What a way to spend a Friday. I wish I could go to work dressed in shorts and slippers.

Ok, before I go, today there are also funny incidents, let me relate what I can remember:

Nas is driving. Driving driving driving.

Mini Beng: Lien ah, I clean your behind can?

Nas: wtf?

Mini Beng: No, the backseat got a lot of things, later people want to sit no space so I clean lor.

Mizu & Nas: heeeeeeeheeeeeeee

Continues driving.

Mini Beng: Eh, I got hole, you got the thing to poke or not?

Nas: you mean you want to plug your hp into my car radio.

Mini Beng: Ah...

And he can still ask me why he makes everything sound wrong.

While we were driving through Serangoon Road, we decided to irritate the shit out of people. So we started yelling at everyone on the roadside. Then I wore my shades, made Zean wear the other pair. And this was 11 something at night by the way. Then I realised that it's bad enough the people in Serangoon Road can barely be seen, with the shades, I had a high chance of knocking one of them down. Bad idea!

I like to keep myself extremely busy and occupied the way I am, because I prefer it that way. When I'm not idle, I don't find the time to sit around and reflect on myself, or on the voidness that never ceases to exist. I like to be in the company of my friends, I like to watch them laugh and seeing them happy makes me happy too. But I realise, there's a difference between laughing and smiling. I laugh a hell lot, but I rarely smile. And sometimes, after I send everyone home, and I'm driving back home alone, I can't help but feel a sense of loneliness. I'm not the kind of girl who needs someone by my side 24/7, to shelter and protect me from the rest of the world. I'm a big girl, I can handle myself. But sometimes, everyone wants that extra bit of attention and tender loving care, to feel special, to feel loved.

In retrospect, maybe it is this very void that I strive to fill that makes me successful in other ways. Maybe I channel the pain within me in the right ways the pays off well for me. And maybe that is way I can see myself successful, earning my money, doing well in my career. But at the same time, these are the very reasons why I don't see myself blooming into a woman full of love, warmth and homeliness. Not me I say.

Though I tried very hard to put everything behind and start afresh, it is difficult. Let me put it simply, in terms of a mirror metaphor. If you had a mirror, and you shattered it and then tried to mend it, regardless of how well you mended it, there would be some traces of cracks, which wouldn't shine as much as the other parts of the mirror. It's mended alright, it does the job of reflecting still, but it just can't shine the same no more.

Sometimes, life is really like a runaway train. The best and happiest moments, when lost are lost forever, you find yourself asking how you got so jaded, why life's mystery seems so faded, then you see that it's like a runaway train, gone on a one way track that is never coming back. But the track remains, and the trains go on, sometimes you pause to wonder where the runaway train when, why it ran away, but life goes on, like everything else. For this too shall pass.

Im Enjoying the Summer Rain

Before I even start blogging, I just have to say that the weather today was beautiful. It was so cold and nice. It was raining, and it's summer, and I can't help but hum Belinda Carlisle's Summer Rain all day. The one song that means the most to me I guess?

This is earlier today. I always take pictures in my brother's room, why? Cos he has a huge ass mirror!

Flyer!

Hellos :D

Love this civic.

But I love this one more, cos it's my babylove!

I got bored

Recently I have been really busy so I apologise to those I have not had time for. I'm helping Mizu out with her dance performance and working, so I have really not had much time on my hands. Sorry Jane Dearie, I will really catch up with you soon, and Yasmin, and Calvin Fong, and Roy.

Today, we went to Bugis to get some stuff and then to Esplanade to practice. There was a funny incident once again. I parked my car near Ah Boi shop at Kelantan lane, and was waiting for Mizu & Lekie to arrive. This is the scenario:

*Mizu calls* Mu, are you at the canal?

Nas: Mu, yeah I'm near a canal mu, where are you? I'm at Kelantan Road, opposite me there is some Maroon building, do you see it?

Mizu: No mu, I don't...

*apparently there are many canals in the vicinity*

Mizu: Mu, do you see a maroon umbrella? Are there any landmarks around you?

Nas: Mu, I think I see a maroon umbrella, landmark, MONK MONK MONK

Mizu: wtf, what monk?

Nas: Look to your left, do you see a Monk walking past? If you do then I see you.

*they turn to find a Monk sauntering past them, burts out laughing*

Apparently, in Nas's world, buildings and known street names are not landmarks, passing by Monks are! I think we are so full of shit!

And at the Esplanade, there was this another group of dancers practicing. They were really good, but they were super gay provocative dance. Damn akuah can? And one dude had a coconut tree on his head. They were Jai Hoing...Lekkie called them the awesome foursome.

I was so hungry today, that I ate like 4 pieces of fried, oily tapioca cake, and wiped an entire plate of Mee Goreng clean, and I'm hungry again now. See, I eat, more than my friends, so it's not my fault that I'm skinny :( I really have a huge headache finding clothes my size!

Ps. Tio spot, two nights ago, can't remember PIE / ECP I was heading to east side, Spoon theme eg9. Damn fierce bro!

KST Day & Some Funny Incidents

As I promised Ah Boy, I sent him for a full servicing yesterday. Personally brought him down to KST and got it done. Much to my surprise, I didn't have to change timing belt. It's been almost 2 years still don't need to change...not bad :D Had a chat with Jack after a long time...I really missed KST man, didn't go there in quite awhile.

Baby in his favourite place, his home.

Thanks Ah Peng for washing my car for me!

Ok, let me now relate some funny incidents that have occurred over the last 2 days. In case anyone doesn't already know, Mizu = PJ

Funny Incident #1:

Mizu and Zean were in my car, and I was driving on the AYE. Then I heard a thundering boxer engine and turned to see a WRX overtake me and he went to the right lane. This is what happened after that:

Nas: Waaaaah, that WRX damn fierce man, I keep seeing this fella on the road.

Zean: Eh, if I got this car ah, I sure chiong one eh.

Nas: Yeah Zean, it's a wrx, the car is meant to chiong one.

Zean: No, I mean if I got your car, then I see that car I sure chiong one eh.

Nas: oh is it, ok chiong lor.

*Nas starts chionging, overtakes wrx on the right lane, Zean happy, Mizu, wtf, sian face.

Nas: Eh, knn, I need to exit here

*dashes across to the left lane and exits AYE, WRX continues going straight*

Nas: Like that also happy, chiong so much overtake stay in front for 10 seconds than exit.

Zean: yeah sia...

Mizu: heeeeeeeeeheeeeeee (the hee goes on and on)

*Potential reaction from the WRX driver: eh, this civickia siow ah?*

Funny Incident #2:

Driving, Mizu in my car. Talking, in the midst of a serious conversation. All of a sudden, a red plastic bag flies from god knows where into the car.

Nas: Wtf???

Mizu: Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeheeeeeeeeeeeeee (the hee goes on and on)

Funny Incident #3:

Nas: (in the mist of the conversation about BIG day) blah blah...you know Mu, like your wedding is supposed to be a really big day in your life, the biggest actually, like next to graduation

*pauses to think*

Nas: oh wait, is wedding supposed to be a bigger day than graduation?

Mizu: mu, actually I always thought graduation was a bigger day.

Nas: Ok, so I'm not the only weirdo around.

Mizu: Oh when the muvrut arrives (meaning when you give birth), I think that's the biggest day.

*stopped in my tracks, paused thought for awhile* Nas: Eeeeeeeeeee

Mizu: heeeeeeeheeeeeeee (the hee goes on and on and on)

Notice how all the incidents share the trait of "Mizu goes heeee...."

Civic Power! Woot!

I just wanted to blog to profess my undying love for my dearest baby civic, he is called Ah Boy in case any of you didn't know, or forgot. Recently I have been spending a lot of time with him, and he makes me so happy. Thank you for being so wonderful, I'm sorry I have not sent you for servicing. I promise this week, we shall get you fully serviced ok? And we will spend much much more quality time ok? I lub lub you so much! Nothing makes me happier than the intimate time we spend at night going all over the place :) 

This is a random message to extremely boyfriend dependent girls out there. Don't always be happy sitting in the passenger seat of your boyfriend's car, then one fine day no more boy friend then how? Hong kan liao, take taxi and meet weird taxi uncles in the middle of the night again? Or worse, if you get into an arguement they would then have the liberty to say, "out of my car". So, get your own car and drive yourself around, better right? Be independent! It's better to drive a car, then just looking pretty and being an ornament to a man's car. Or, better still, drive and look pretty at the same time! Idea?

Ok, the bigger point I'm trying to make is, take control of your own lives and be independent. Don't always let yourselves be regulated by someone smothering you. I feel that nothing makes a woman sexier than being intelligent and able to take control of herself and life. And nothing makes a man sexier than being a good driver :) Ok, I am digressing...It's freaking 06:36am what do you expect? I shall stop sprouting nonsense and get to sleep.

P.S. Salutes to the yellow spoon ek9 at East Coast Park tonight, beauty.

Removing Eyelash Extensions & Some Random Feelings

Yesterday I experienced the worst pain in my entire life, when I went to remove my eyelash extensions. This is a warning to girls out there, please think thrice before you do extensions cos removing them is really a bitch! The stupid chemicals were getting into my ultra sensitive eyes, which hurt like crazy, and here's the worst part: Quite a bit of my ORIGINAL eyelashes came off too. I was so damn sad I started crying, yes that's how vain I am. Well, I only can wait for them to grow back now :( I'm so depressed about it...

Ok, this post is not so backdated, it's pretty much the last few days.

This was on Wednesday, in the dance studio in SP.

People are rehearsing, and I'm cam whoring as usual.

Ok, I had to blog about this evo, damn CHIO right? Wah lao eh, I lost my heart to it. And the driver, really really knows how to drive, he's the man, really.

Ok, this was on Monday night, I think? My fellow West Side civic kaki.

And this was at Fa's birthday chalet. Pearlyn's back from Australia, like finally. I just want to say this to Mizu & Pearlyn, sometimes we get caught up with our own lives, work and what not, and somethings change, but I'll always love you two the same and appreciate how we were there for each other through the good and bad. I know that when I cried, I never cried alone cos you guys were there for me, and to make me laugh even in the midst of my tears. I'll always treasure the memories we share and count my blessings for friends like you that I know I can turn to.
Hmmm...yesterday I was at Downtown East Chalet, and I guess it made me feel a little sad because 2 years ago, it was at the same place that I last met someone who was once very important to me. And the other day, I was taking a long stroll at East Coast by myself, and it brought back some memories. Memories of my younger, happier and more carefree days, when I was sheltered in my own little world, not knowing how mean and hard things were in the real world. I just missed the days when I was so innocent and carefree, when I would leave my house right out of the shower, without blow drying my hair, without ever bothering with make up, and run right out. When I was such a child, that I would believe that kangaroos could be kept in a house. It was a time when life didn't pain me so much and I was truly happy. Very few people know the real me, who was once a very bubbly and happy girl, with an extremely positive outlook towards life and with an undyingly competitive spirit. I guess at this point, I just miss my old self. I wish I could erase from my memory all the things that pain me, I really wish I could, but I can't, cos I have been through too much. Life pained me to a point that I am cynical about every single thing and to a point that there are less than 5 people in my life that I can completely trust. Sometimes, I really don't know what I look forward to, I don't know what truly makes me happy and I don't know what the future holds.

Dinner, Orchid Country Club & GarageR

I have been so busy lately that I have not really had the time to complete doing up my blog! I've not even put music on it...Anyway, here is another backdated post of sometime ago. It was a night out in our infamous Thompson district!

Poor Jane, she looks tired. Well who wouldn't be after work right? This is before pool at Orchid Country Club, our once upon a time weekend must go spot.

Dinner at Romano Ristorante. Food and a very angry Brien! He was in such a bad mood that he smashed his phone and scared the waitress.

Civic owner & Type R owner chilling on "Robert". In case you didn't know, Robert is Jane's car.

You never know what treasures you may find at this wonderful place, that's why we like to midnight trips here. Jane was obviously not part of this as it's lame for her! Haha, oh I remember I got here not in my car but in Ricky's swift. I think it was my first time riding in a swift, not bad, good because can smoke in the car...

Look at the beauties...

And the ultimate...

This post makes me realise that I have not been to certain places in a long time. I think we are very seasonal people, when there is a season we keep going to OCC and Yishun Dam non stop, then no season abandon the place. Oh, then there was the season when we kept eating at Romano Ristorante, then I don't know what happened to it. Haha, I think I need to spend more time at the North side...

Hmmm...I have nothing much to say besides the fact that I see my holidays slipping through my fingers already. It's like, the month is ending soon which means my attachment is beginning soon. I think I have not enjoyed enough, I still have not had a proper celebration for my exam results, Jane and I need to shop and get her ring altered...So much to do, so little time :( Oh, I still need to KTV, and I owe Roy combos...Oh my, why can't the hols last longer :(:(:(

Red outfit & Project Fong Kim!

Hello! I'm back again :D Got home not long ago from hanging out in town and decided to blog. As I mentioned, I have not blogged in a long time so I have to update things that have been happening this year. Yeah, talk about anachronism, but I can't quite help it. So, this post is of happenings much much earlier in the year.

Oh by the way, I know I used to have a tagboard and I have not quite gotten around to getting one for this blog, but feel free to leave comments at the end of posts if you want!

I'm wearing red, one of the rare occasions. But I like this dress! Should I wear it more often?

Look, red nails as well!

Picture with Laila, and look at the joker behind us? Always like that!

Candid shot of Laila & Kevin eating, somewhere in Balestier.

Project Fong Kim! Wooo, baby is going up!

Fong Kim TypeR, it's a beauty.

I made my brother carry home my car parts. Poor thing, he's still in office clothes after work. Oh well, it was too big and heavy for me to handle on my own so bo bian!
