[[trail]]

After packing the masks, I wanted to do some photoshopping on the photos.

Gave up in the end and just put whatever Dear and I shot.

Really love the old gen Sony camera. Do they make compact camera like this now ?

So some snippets of our fun time along the Southern Ridges.

I chose the "climax" part of the whole stretch mainly because I was afraid that the rain would pour before we reach Vivo. Of course, taking nice pictures was another consideration.

Of everything around us :)

Of everything about us :)

It's great to finally catch up with some of my uni mates and also, to finally walk part of the trail :)

For those who don't know what the Southern Ridges is you can click here - Southern Ridges

The part which I chose : Alexender to the end wasn't the most difficult place to walk. I wore my flip flops if that tells you anything.

Okay! I intended this to be a short post.

[[perspective]]

" I need to pack 1300+ masks for 47 people by today"

Sounds easy.

To put things into perspective, this is how horrible the room became.

This was already 80% towards completion.

I actually have to handle 2 big parcel myself.

Kinda proud of myself. Then again, I didn't have to go through such shit if the visa wasn't so expensive.

I shall wait for the sense of accomplishment to flow tomorrow.

Simply too tired after the Southern Ridges walk.

Considering I still can finish this AFTER the walk, okay, I am talking in circles.

Pictures for Southern Ridges will be up soon.

Weeeeeeee :D

So the drug was stronger than the stomach

The pain was overwhelming. Probably like a double, triple dose of oxytocin ?

Doesn't help if the head is swimming through a tsunami as well.

When it stated "nil by mouth", rivers of tears gushed like waterfalls.

Then the shock of losing hair. Floods of hair.

Guess it was really a roller coaster ride to experience it in reality.

I wouldn't know how deep the pain was, is.

Maybe all I can do is empathize, and tell him to stay strong.

Took bus to Bishan on the way home, and saw a familiar place.

Then it hit me

that we are friends no more.

[[moony]]

So for the sake of curiosity, we went and watch New Moon.

Just so I can see how Felix, Caius, Marcus, Jane etc looked like in "real" life

Just so I know whether did the movie follow the book or not.

Verdict ?

Cui.

The wow factor for Edward is totally gone, thanks to his constipated look (the book said he was a pained and tortured look), his lack thereof expressions (the book said he was looking deeply into Bella's eyes)

Jacob sucks with long hair, though the hair was probably good to hide the muscle at the neck area. Too much muscles is a turn off for ladies too you know. After comparing that white over-powdered face, I have to agree with my friends, Jacob was really better.

Not that the female lead was any better. Besides stuttering her words, I doubted that she could act out the "incredibly hurt and numbed" emotion. Hell, the numbed look was the same as the normal emotion look. 0.o

Not that I could act. But I paid money to see someone who supposedly has the talent and this was all I got? Waste of time and a total bullshit.

Anyway, met up with Ashyura (finally!) today, and we ran down the whole movie. Quite surprised that she watches F.O too! So much to laugh about. It just felt as though we had endless of things to talk about, because she loves asian stuff (this kind) like I do. Except for the Islam thingy, it felt like she's another Chinese friend.

Suddenly felt very appreciative that I kept contacts with my long-time friends. No matter how much distance or how much time passes, we can just reconnect back - like the old times.

Maybe Thanksgiving is around the corner, or maybe it's going to be the end of the year. Whatever the case is, we should feel appreciative that friends and foes are always there to push us on, though for a very much different reason :)

[[sian's]]

So I finally got around to blog about Sian's birthday.

The typical thing we do at 21st year party. Pri sch peeps, sec sch peeps etc etc. So we are the Sec sch peeps.

So the trio always sleepover at her house, but this time round we were totally wasted and fell asleep instead of playing mahjong and talking crap the whole day.

How could I resist not showing my face on my blog ? Hahah. The specs is way too big for my face.

Abit late, but yes I am really appreciative of this friend of mine.

In sec sch we used to call each other everyday even after being in class for so long. It's like we have never ending topics to chat about. So much so that her mom was actually worried that we were lesbians. I only got to know it in recent years, and this was hilarious.

She was there when I cried over stupid boys (ok. BOY), gushed over new loves, laughed at (ops) new admirers, got angry over various things in life, whined when I was in pain, worried over the tarots and when I am plotting evil stuff to do.

Though we couldn't really be there for each other every single time, I am glad that we tell each other the milestones of our life.

Of course, the same is to be said for the rest of the gang too.

Thank you for being my best friend.

Thank you for always listening to my problems.

Thank you for your effort in our friendship.

Happy Birthday Jing Sian :)

[[mia]]

I think I have mia-ed from this space quite sometime.

There's still a few things which I have not settle:

Medical Checkup for VISA
Rebond hair
Coursematch
Meetups

For friends side, I only managed to attend Sian' birthday party -> Pictures will be up after I do some photoshop-ing.

Quite amazed that I managed to finish so many things in a week.

Dear had been great :D

He's been coming over to my house everyday coz I couldn't really leave the house.

Played with my brother too, even though we kinda ran out of things to play.

Felt a sense of accomplishment today, because I managed to get my bro to drink up one nasty medicine. The smell was really, well, unforgettable.

Despite being stuck at home, I did do a few nonsensical stuff like

Burning people in Sims 3

Talking to my customers, understanding them more

Have some "us" time with dear -> Something we didn't really have the chance to have since studies got in the way of EVERYTHING

I was thinking whether should I install SPORE on the desktop since I would be away in Aust and my bro can play. Not to forget, playing SPORE on 20" will be super duper freaking cool.

Okay, I shall go eat my chips and read a book.

Oh holidays~~~!!!

Sometimes,

I just hate it.

When everything is of a high priority than me.

Even though most of the shit is finally over...

I still did not get the break I wanted.

It's the same for all 3 years.
