i hate feelin emo, so i'll just attribute it to slp deprivation.

you're gone too long, it's cracking. i'm caught between missing and dismissing. the silence is too much, the uncertainty's built up. come back now, or with a single word be gone forever.
CaT cat purred at 6:59 AM

i went to slp at 12.30 n woke up at 5.15am. either i'm gettin old n have reached the age where i need very little slp, or sth's wrong with mi.

somehow both possibilities sound wrong..

my latest purchase. =) loving the back.


and then i chanced upon these 2 dresses.. oh well. wun be gettin them but i sure wun mind havin them. especially the dress on the right with the interestin collar. it looks abit old-fashioned but the buttons and the 'layered' skirt are interestin details.

shall blog again when i can come up with anything interestin. :p

feelin tired out of my mind. these 2 weeks have been nothing less than action packed. esp these few daes, startin from Christmas eve. i'm almost dead on my feet now.

picked up my cousin Adeline from work yesterdae n accompanied her to her dance practice. though her chinese folk dances were interestin, my eyes were riveted on the hip hop practice goin on beside them. gosh.. they were so alive and vibrant, i wished i cld join them, learn the steps and juz let go.

anyway, i'm dead tired now.. waitin for the 30th.

my bro, Eugene, n all the experiments ever carried out on his hair. :p onli the last 4 pictures were of experiments carried out by ME. the rest were by our dear lil' cousin, Adeline. lolx.. n my experiments were done on his requests, to deal with his long hair, while our cousin simply wanted to play. lolx..

my bro will be so horrified if he ever saw this post. so why are his pictures up den?

COZ TODAE IS HIS BDAE!!! =) n i'm dedicating this post to him n our activities todae.

he had been wantin to catch a horror show for some time now coz, we dun usually get to watch them since i'm cowardly n wun dwnload any to watch. heeheee.. he gets a tad scared sometimes, but itz been a long time since he did, so his heart got abit 'itchy'.

so, wat better than to treat him to the latest show, I Am Legend, as a bdae present? =) it looked like a nice show, with zombies for dat touch of horror, and is timely. so todae, we went to AMK Hub and i got us tics and lotsa popcorn n drinks. SALTED's our favourite type of popcorn.

hahahaha.. the movie is damn good. excellent balance between normality and action+horror. the zombies in this movie are the smartest i've seen so far, the story's good, there are enough heartwarmin n touchin scenes without going for overkill, scenarios that speed up ur heart rate does so without being banal, obvious, nor tacky. this is one solid, good movie datz definitely worth the money. hahahaa.. at one part, it even reached the point where my bro said "i can't watch the rest of this anymore" coz we thought it was gonna become overly creepy. this comin from my usually stoic bro. lolx.. but this comment coming from us doesn't mean the movie's bad. in fact, it means itz damn good, especially when it managed to turn around n made us sit at the edge of our seats, waiting to see wat happens next.

in short, itz a darn good movie lah. n my bro's very good company coz we r so similar. we have the same sense of humour, the same type of logic, the same principles and expectations, the same type of behaviour, and even have superb chemistry (u might think dat mayb my influence on him is too strong). once, he wanted to snack late at nite n cldn't decide whether he shld coz he was havin a sore throat. he decided to settle it by playin Scissors Paper Stone with mi. we played and tied 7 consecutive rounds coz we kept showing the same moves. lolx.. he got fed up n i was super amused when he gave up. datz when i said we shld play 1 more definitive round n he won coz he had Scissors while i showed Paper.

so, he just went to work. from 7pm til 2am. hope he has fun workin with his fren n get home safely. the first time he went to work, i stayed up til he got home while the rest of the family's already went to slp.

my lil' bro is growin up.. ahhh.. wistful.

hope my adorable lil' bro leads a happie life, since the past, til now and into the future. he's one of the best people. =)

it finally struck home to me that good people, truly nice people, are often unrecognised, under-appreciated, and more often than not, abused for their kindess.

after 2 daes of hangin out with a truly nice person, i can onli sae dat this fact makes mi sad.

the world is enamoured by users of people, selfish charmers who uses their wiles to win people's hearts and support for their own gains and purposes. the good people, with their simple kindness are left mocked and even looked down upon, becoz they do not pander for affections, they simply really care.

such people are gettin rare, the gems dat might not attract the eyes, but shimmer with a lustre and shine that radiates from deep within for people who look beyond the glare and flash of lesser beings.

merry merry Christmas! mine ended up being extremely merry n jolly. =) feelin half-dead nw. hope ur Christmas is fa la la. lolx..

Merry Christmas everyone!

CaT cat purred at 11:04 PM

itz 7.50am n i'm here again. hahahaa.. the sky is gettin bright n my bro's tossin n turnin n wakin anytime soon.

i'm tryin to stave off the slpiness til i've got my chores done, which means after my bro wakes up. :p

itz strange how i call my mum 'mummy' but i call my dad 'papa'. -_-lll n i realised marriage is about slippin a banana into ur wife's breakfast bag, along with the breakfast dat the husband bought, so dat she can bring it to work n eat hearty-ly and healthily. haa.. itz sweet. My dad's a virgoan too so i'm thinkin i probably share the same sweetness.. lolx..

wake up wake up..

update:

at 7am, gluttony mi finished a whoppin big bowl of porridge with lean pork, mincemeat balls, egg n fried dough, seasoned with pepper, shallots, spring onion, sesame oil and soya sauce. mi currently feeling very full n contented though still bored coz my bro is slpin on his bed behind mi n i have no choice but to be restricted to sittin in the dark n typing as silently as i can.

mi hopin i wun wake my bro up, wun get fat frm the endless eating, will start feelin less full soon, and will get some slp while the air-conditionin is still on, the rm is still dark, and the world is still quiet.

nw dat i'm stuffed to the gills, i feel incredibly slpy. -_-lll
CaT cat purred at 7:02 AM

i attempted slp at 1.30am n woke up fully alert at 4.30am. -_-lll not juz alert, but also immensely hungry. i've deduced dat drinking herbal tea gives my system too much caffeine while rapidly 'aiding my digestion' to keep mi plagued with gnawing hunger.

so i got up after decidin dat i was too awake to be able to get back to slp, and too hungry for food dat even if i was slpy, i'll be unable to.

ate the last slice of wholemeal bread n started cravin eggs. lazyass mi doesn't wanna get herself oily and smoky so early in the dae by cookin and took the easy way out by askin my dad to buy mi porridge with mincemeat n egg. yay!! letz hope the stalls in the market opens as early as 5+am.

todae, i received frm the mail, my first n probably onli Christmas card this yr. it was from Lily, my secondary school friend whom sat beside mi for 1/2yr in sec 4, though we've been in all the same classes throughout the 4 years.

she said she din realise how much she misses mi til the msg dat i sent to her quite some time ago. n she remembered the nickname she gave mi. =)

one of the little things dat made mi happie todae.

seems like my nightly dose of vitamin C is not potent enuf to keep germs n the ravages of the odd weather at bay. gonna spend the whole afternoon recuperatin with the entertainment of old classic Hong Kong movies by Brigitte Lin Ching Hsia, rather than get my daily attempt at exercise by traipsing about town.



The Bride with the White Hair was good. =)

met up with Manda in the evening yesterdae (Friday) at Paragon. forgot to look at the incredibly adorable earrings they are selling at Accessorize. they are available in the designs of dangling Christmas trees, wreaths, angels and snowmans. nw, datz called gettin into the Christmas spirit. lolx..

donating to the Salvation Army lifts spirits. try it. =)

so, Manda got mi a pot of blusher frm Korea, after knowing dat i've shattered all my blushers by droppin them on the floor. that is consideration at itz finest. i also got the Korean seaweed dat i haven't forgotten ever since my trip there in Sec 2. gonna share these salt-encrusted goodies with my bro who likes salty snacks.

she told mi abt her Korea trip and the latest atrocities dat her "FRIEND" did. listened over pure chocolates and commiserated.

also, lookin at her had mi seeing all the things i cld nv be. i cld nv look so polished n pulled-together, i feel like i'm always in shambles. hahahaa... and after spendin most of my 21years tryin, i'm tired of the fussin and dressing up. :p

itz so much easier to be a guy.

readin abt Amanda's "FRIEND" pisses mi off to no end. never failed to, probably nv will change.

went wanderin abt by myself todae, to get away frm the water cut-off frm 9am-6pm. gotta go somewhere with unlimited usage of water for specific hygiene purposes. =(

so i woke up at 8.30 to wash up n dress n got out of the house at abt 10+ after some procrastination. figuring dat i had too much time to burn by myself, i walked to the library to return my books n pass time. the walk was enjoyable, coz the weather was superfine, with the sun juz nice n the breeze cooling. =) mornin exercise! got mi in fine moods.

read for about 2 hours before i got tired n decided to hit town. gotta hunt down some stuff. walked til my lower back hurt. was tryin to correct my posture n walk with my back reallie straight but i think my muscles r still abit weak for dat.

saw all the stuff n wished i cld spend all my money gettin the perfect things for the perfect ppl..

i feel like i can never give enuf, never have enuf to give.

the occasional venture online on msn reminds mi why i like to hide offline. i dun like protracted goodbyes.

i dun like appearin desperate, which explains why i'll "suavely" shoo ppl off when they sae they gotta go. similarly, i dun feel comfy havin ppl whom i dunnoe too well anymore to go beyond goodnight wishes into stuff like lets-meet-up-soon. mayb i'm juz plain unsociable but it feels clingy n somehow off to mi. esp when i get the idea dat the person's juz talkin to mi to fill some recently voided gap in their lives.

i hate to especially "fill the shoes" of ex-gfs for guys who recently broke up.

okie. enuf of bitchin. i shld be happie dat my existence helps alleviates someone's unhappiness or emptiness.

i dun even wanna start on almost never being able to resist old ppl who ask mi for money on the streets. -_-lll i am a sucker..

CaT cat purred at 10:32 PM

todae, i brought my bro to Far East Plaza for his first time. -_-lll after 17years. he's gettin a holiday job n needed a haircut, so he asked dat i bring him someplace to get a haircut dat'll suit mi, since i'm always criticising his 10min-$10 or Indian-barber haircuts.

as a super finicky, perfectionistic and over-protective older sis, i gave the hairstylist a whole list of requirements: not too long, not too short, must look good, must be fashionable, must be fuss-free-wash-and-go, must not look beng-ish, must look neat.. yada yada.. lolx.. shld have seen the look on his face. think my bro was secretly cringing and thinking dat i'm tryin to put the hairdresser in a fix.

anyway, my bro looks gd nw. he's always looked gd, but nw even betta. whahahahaa.. striking resemblance to Jay Chou if he'll juz let mi tweak his hair abit. :p

walked alot yesterdae and todae. =) endorphines.

The Golden Compass

very good movie. =) highly entertaining. n this opinion is not just becoz i reallie liked the books. nicole kidman is smoking hot, the actors are all excellent, and the graphics and special effects are superb. it is good without having read the books, but even better if u've read the books and have an background idea of what the whole story is about.

the daemons are supposed to be the physical representation of their human companions' spirits. kinda like witches and their familiars, except dat daemons are linked to their companions by a more intimate link- they risk dyin if separated for too long or over too far a distance. the daemons are splendid looking, especially Lyra's shapeshifting Pantalaimon. but it was super sad to see Billy Costa (acted by Charlie Rowe) after he was found by Lyra, lost lookin and near death after he was separated from his daemon and cldn't find it anymore. almost cried at the sight of his pain n distress.

whahahhaa.. too much spoilers for those who din read the stories before. now i kinda want the books for Christmas.

comfort food:: porridge


AMK Library:: the view beyond always leave me happily staring out rather than down at my books.

procrastinating abt studyin for my final terms dat starts on Tuesday. and i'm darn good at it, considering i've finished readin 3 thick novels but onli read 1/2 of a very thin textbook so far despite the 1 week long study break. waiting for the urgency to hit when my mind finally register dat i've got no time left. think i'm sick in the mind, backing myself into corners like dat.

and drastic measures are being taken in a bid for better skin. tell mi i'm crazy but from today, i've taken to applyin fresh lemon juice diluted with water on my skin every night, and drinking 1 lemon. why onli at night? coz lemon juice turns dark when exposed to sunlight. so for it to effectively 'bleach' the skin, it can be applied when there's no risk of exposure to sunlight. i've got a multitude of scars dat refuses to fade. correcting this self-diagnosed vitamin C deficiency one and for all.

loving shoppin in super markets.
