She's the man..

in Jared's words, I'm "half a guy" already. I'm slowly morphing. *oh the horror* I've not gone shopping for the last couple of weeks and the great mango sale hasn't had an impact on me and my wallet. Or maybe its just a case of out of sight out of mind. It was how someone suddenly exclaimed during supper at Adam road last night that hey i was the only girl. But yes, the stuff I've found myself to enjoy are strangely guy-ish. Each night, I end up asking people if we're watching soccer tonight. And it is at this point in time that i say that i'm not turning into a guy because i still appreciate eye candy like the yummy spanish team. But i do know what is an off side! (stupid joel. underestimate me) I hang out with the guys and i'm starting to talk like them. Tsk.
And then there is the thing about me happily getting sweaty in the sun.. wanting to play soccer, floorball and what not. hey its lots of fun! And how i would gladly give up shopping for the beach.

I've come to enjoy watching soccer at the prata place. the crowd, the noise, how i can just cross my legs on the chair with my iced holicks and then scream like a mad woman each time there's a goal. Beats going to bars and pubs anytime. I think i've watched so much soccer everynight that i already know the same ol out of point advertisements they play at every halftime.

i'm sorry guys.. but this is frickin' adorable

I like how there's an ease in calling friends down to hang out with other friends. Makes me all very happy. its always nice to have a fresh face around. I wish everyone worked the same way.

Sometimes i think i can get reaaally stubborn as well. or maybe it was just a matter of stupid pride. My calf muscles started cramping up today but i refused to stop and walk. I only stopped to stretch then continued running. Gloria Gayner's I will Survive saw me through. Ok, Today was one of those days when i wished i didn't have so much muscle on my calfs and i figured i was being really stupid. But i just didn't wanna walk. argh. But when i finally gave in to my legs and decided to stop midway and sit down n stretch, i realised how much i was missing just running along and not stopping at all for that wonderful sunset and breeze. it was like a moment for me myself and i. nothing else.
I haven't really had much time to do stuff like this the past 2 weeks or so. They just went by in a flash. In school for dry runs and such. Law camp is on monday and I'm officially a year 2. Up till now i still can't help but wonder where all the time in between went.. 1 year. 12 months. 365 days. A crazy number of things that happened in between...
One song. And i look back. We've come full circle.

this is what we do during law camp prep. Find lanyards and be cool!


And i stole more photos from my baobei:




//Follow your heart
Your intuition
It will lead you in the right direction
Let go of your mind
Your Intuition
Is easy to find
Just follow your heart baby

Girls aloud.

It has been more than 9 months since I last went out with these 2 and i almost forgot how all of us seem to be on crack each time we get together. Alot of crazy loud shrieks, giggles and random rubbish. ponana!I think no one understands the statement that we've "changed alot but are still fundamentally the same"better than these 2.
After going one big round, we've met again.. all as swinging singles. I decided to drive them to rochester since i heard the waiters there and the chocolate cake were oh so yum. My dear madames.. were so tickled that i was their driver for the night. lots of giggles complete with a live commentary as i drove.

"ohh the food isn't here yet... time to take photos! oh the drinks aren't here yet... you know what to do!"



it was great chilling at the bar upstairs where it was quiet and cosy. It felt great. a real girls night out complete with the friendly bartender who was so endearing when he was so happy that he made the ikan billis with apricots in them. ( don't ask me why). We spent a good part of our time fishing out the apricot bits. He got even cuter when he refused to get us our bill until we tried his new concoction- tiramisu. lovely.


Babe, this is for you..


//I'm not waitin' around for a man to save me
(Cause I'm happy where I am)
Don't depend on a guy to validate me
I don't need to be anyone's baby
(Is that so hard to understand?)
No I don't need another half to make me whole

Make your move if you want
Doesn't mean I will or won't
I'm free to make my mind up
You either got it or you don't

welcome back.


Took the ECP to the airport today and watched the world go by. It might have been the double shot of cuppacino i had earlier. Or maybe it was just the sun, and the blue sky. Then i saw the skyline, the city across the water's edge, the palm trees lining the sides of the roads. My cd blasting.. I hadn't felt that way for ages, the dizzy burst of happiness coupled with that buzz of electricity in my tummy.I couldn't help but break out into song. ( i just have a nagging feeling i shouldn't have been snapping photos while driving)

But more importantly, my baobeis are back! My pillars of strength. I couldn't help but wonder at how we've grown and here i was driving down the highway on the way to be the first to meet up since they left last year. 3 girls, 3 very different lives but essentially the same strong ties we forged back in rgs.

babes, its time to paint the town red!

screams at the airport. a flurry of hugs.
here's to more air kisses

and OMG it was painful watching Japan get demolished by Australia. Sigh. -heartbreak-

//Since the moment I spotted you
Like walking 'round with little wings on my shoes
My stomach's filled with the butterflies
And it's alright
Bouncing round from cloud to cloud
I got the feelin' like I'm never gonna come down

there's something about songs like these that i like. (buble's feeling good) all very bond-esque. But this video is kinda cheesy to say the least.

take me as i am

Its already the middle of the hols. Its already June. And it really is weird hearing people address us as 'year 2s'. There is an unfamiliar ring to it. No more the "little" freshies we once were only 10 months ago. This 3 month break has been really fulfilling, trying new stuff and meeting new people and basically just enjoying life the way it should be.

I haven't held a job since the long break before uni started. It felt weird toying with the idea that once again i was a productive unit of society for a few days last week at the pc show selling magazine subscriptions for Stuff. It was perfectly tiring, being on my feet for 10 hours a day, buns for lunch, smiling too much, talking so much, shouting so much that it pretty much seemed very pasa malam-ish after awhile, dinner at 10pm every day. But on the other hand, i had so much fun, getting to meet new people ( those nice ppl at the nec and creative booths. ppl i usually wouldn't have had a chance to talk to) Plus, I had really nice bosses, being so nice and encouraging about things and even treating us to dinner when they saw us being bleagh about stuff. Meeting familiar people at the fair kept me going throughout the day. I always felt so happy when they stopped to say hi. So yay to my first experience in sales.

When this hols first started, i was actually worried that i wouldn't have things to do but i've been filling my days with things to do. I like the feeling when i wake up and lie in bed and mentally run through the days activities. It gives me a quiet thrill when i know that there will be fun with friends. I wouldn't know what I would do without them.Been going back to school quite abit, helping huiling for rag and doing props as well. Nothing much and yet its always nice to meet friends again. And now, I've started on new stuff, like my ballroom dancing classes and hopefully wakeboarding next week.

I like birthdays and what was supposed to be a tg celebration became a tioman bunch gathering to celebrate becky's birthday. We went to ms clarity cafe which gave me the shock of my life. The neon walls, the vibe of the place, in boon's words, "hello kitty gone mad", plus, omg. i SWEAR the waitresses there are on crack or something. By the end of the night i was abit high as well. goodness gracious me.. the choc cake was oooh la la. Solid stuff.
pink madness

happy birthday becky!she blew all the marshmellows off her cake la. wasted.

the girls

all together now!

It was my dear friend's birthday this week and Boss effectively had 3 celebrations. You lucky person. Better be appreciative. So in honour of Boss, he got a Happy Father's Day cake and a Hello Kitty balloon and on top of that a good stripping. Guys never change.
jared and i happy with our purchase

boss with his balloon and cake

And after a million years we finally got our asses down to Zouk. And i blame all the alcohol i drank because now i'm on the verge of losing my voice. Though having a flaming sambuca was an experience. Many thanks to the boys for making sure i didn't get lost or trampled upon. I now proclaim Mambo a very happy place. I was absolutely thrilled when they played Grease. Omg. My kinda song! I used to shamelessly sing along to Oliver Newton John's " Hopelessly Devoted". There's an old soul in me i swear.

Boss' celebration part 3! Glad everything went smoothly though i thought he actually saw through my plan. Anyway, Boss, i hope you had fun and please ah... must wear what you bought from topman alright. Someone is sooo going to thank me. :P

rgs girls

smile now!



I'm thankful for a friend willing to do impulsive things with me and just keeping it real. No questions asked.
I wish just sometimes, people wouldn't judge just based on what they see. Its hard i know. But you don't understand till you hear it from me. Straightup.
But We're all fallible, aren't we?

//She's been down and out
She's been wrote about
She's been talked about constantly
She's been up and down
She's been pushed around
But they held her down NYC
She has no regrets
She accepts the past
All these things they help to make she
She's been lost and found
But she's still around
There's a reason for everything, yeah

You know I've been holding on
Try to make me weak
But I still stay strong
Put my life all up in these songs
Just so you can feel me
So you can get the real me
