burn baby burn.

After not seeing my lovely baobei for ages, it was time to paint the town red. It's been 6 years *ahem* (you traitor. haha) my girl, and we've both grown up, experienced so much, set our sights on higher stuff but some things don't change, like how you are the BEST photo whoring partner ever, everytime i'm with you, I follow suit and we take 10 photos at a go of our crazy faces.

There'll be the odd sane photo but it belies crazy-assed stuff we do. like dancing salsa in the middle of the bar, and we weren't even all that high YET. and we were yet to get to phuture to boogie the place down.

But it completely went downhill after that, after that girl da-ed a couple of glasses of bombay sapphire/cranberry mix and me martinis and eventually I was forced to da as well and i got horribly bloated. and thus started the night's ritual of blasting music with the windows down each time we got into the car and singing and dancing along. don't ask me how we did it. there's is one video that you totally need to check out. hurhur.
I recall tellin wing when i got to velvet: "errr.. i think i'm effing high"

I finally got my phuture fix!! it wasn't too crowded, the music was damn awesome! and they played tokyo drift/my love/sexyback and all my favourite clubbing songs.

to my other baobei in london, we didn't leave eeyore out of the fun. and thanks once again. i love him muchly.
and eeyore becomes the spokesperson for toyota...

and goes on the ride of his life...

because of crazy ass people in the car.... its a wonder his tail didn't fly out of the window.

wing and her bowl of ba chor me. woman!!! i still don't believe you have never eaten this in your entire life and you don't know the difference between mee pok /mee kia /kuay teow etc....

but i love you still.. *hugs* just gotta stop ganging with outsiders to bully me!!!!

its yet that time of the year to take stock again and make new year wishes.
i'll give thanks to everything that has happened and made me a better person.
i'll give thanks for friends to keep me going and friends to love.
i'll give thanks for a sweet ending to the year

//Oh yes I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been prayin' for
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day

back from the land of dodgy sausages

and so i'm back from bangkok which i sorely miss even though i didn't get my tan at huahin and we decided to cut one night short since we were all raring to shop.i didn't realize it would be so COLD over there but the weather was fantastic. we were all going "WAH, got sun!" on the plane over there.
it was tres awesome going on our 2 meal diet just to shop like crazy.. it was really no holds barred shopping. and thanks to rod and joel for being the girls' porters and being so patient when we hog the toilets.
and to nana, much love. from bullying me over crayons when we were kids to sharing my eyeliner pencil. you're a real awesome holiday buddy. luv ya babe.

so here's to more holidays and new friends. :)

fisherman's village resort which was reaalllllyyyy nice. :)

huahin where we went jet ski-ing. and rod and i were SHIVERING because it was so bloody cold and we got washed off our jet ski once. but it was real awesome sitting at the back of the hotel's pick up and soaking up the sun. holla.

my obligatory beer advert. heh. it was corona at tioman the last time.

MBK: where we bought crazy number of dvds.
yummy looking veggie!(haha. more like kuey) //my obligatory shot with a carrot//dunkin donuts!!!!! rod n i took damn long to choose our donuts and one box and it only cost 4 bucks!

and its crazy shopping in bkk. its like orchard road. eerywhere u turn you hear singaporeans. and you won't believe who i met at suan lum night market. seow yixin and hanyan!!!!! like omg...we were pratically screaming.

street food!!! beef noodles!!!!! and this is attempt number 3 at finding decent tasting sausages and which of course failed again. tasted damn weird. (the first 2 times, german sausages failed, weird black pepper fish failed as well)

this prob ranks as my favourite pic out of the whole trip. looks like something out of a food show. but the beef noodles were really awesome. i peppered mine with chilli and ended up crying after that. but i still finished the entire bowl of soup. thank goodness for 7-11 just behind.

swissotel nai lert park: it was totally awesome!thanks to rod and his lobang. :D loved the toilet. which the girls always hogged. heh. this was before we thrashed the place.

the lobby which was really really nice.

and to all law folks, this deserves a picture of its own.

i like this photo. the girls outside our room before ms cheng went to meet her boy. :) love the lights.

the boys at the lobby:

sirocco where i happily sneaked photos even when we weren't supposed to. rod and i were freezing our asses off again. joel's a weird person. he wasnt even cold.// boys and their emo shots.

vertigo at the 62nd floor of banyan tree where the wind was just as bad and rod n i froze AGAIN:

our supper for the night. -beams- we bought marshmellows to throw in to our hot milo. we actually intended to roast marshmellows using a lighter. but i guess that didn't exactly materialize.

last burst of shopping frenzy:
inspired by southpark.

our last night in bkk. rod couldn't join us because that boy smartly had miso soup at the same time with cold cereal at breakfast that morning. tsk.
i'm totally happy with my boots! no more complaining and making noise that i want a pair each time i see one in town. yayness :) plus they're real comfy and cheap.
when i got back and my dad saw my boots he went:
"eh.. all ready to burn the roads i see"
my dad amuses me sometimes.

cabbages and condoms:

this was a real cute place! (pictures say it all)

bed supper club:

bed supper club was pretty awsome.. loved the bartenders and their cute tees. the first guy was adorable, trying to say shen dan jie -blank blank-. i helped him complete the phrase and then he asked me in wide eyed wonder. "erm, what does it mean??"
then the second bar tender gave all 3 of us shots of anna's leftover cocktail and then he took extra effort to make my hockney. you'll never in your entire life get such awesome service at zouk and plus, the drinks were really really awesome stuff.

i love love the pillows... ms cheng fell asleep twice. heh. though it was pretty disturbing having 2 couples getting it on next to us... (1 les, 1 straight for that matter)

my dear girl went completely mad in 7-11. she filled up practically the whole basket with the intent on buying all things thai since it was our last night there. i never knew we could do a supermarket sweep in 7-11.

last day at the airport:

(check out my bunny tee!!)
with my thai relatives whom i have not seen in 10 years. they were really sweet.. coming to our hotel so early in the morning to pick us up to send us to the airport. kap kun ka

rod and i with our puma bags at bkk airport before our flight, where the 4 of us were trying to use up our coins. so out came anna's coin pouch on the table and between the 4 of us we managed to get enough coins to buy 2 bottles of water and 3 cups of diary queen.. and we ended up being the last to get on our flight. :P

the loot of which i'm crazily insanely happy about: hellloooooo where do you find a 99 baht shop. and now, mango sales interest me no more.

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone.. much love from me. :)

//Next year, things are gonna change
Gonna drink less beer, and start all over again
Gonna read more books, gonna keep up with the news
Gonna learn how to cook, spend less money on shoes
I’ll pay my bills on time,and file my mail away, everyday
Only drink the finest wine,and call my Gran every Sunday
Resolutions, baby they come and go
Will I do any of these things? The answers probably no
If there’s one thing I must do, despite my greatest fears
I’m gonna say to you, how I felt all of these years
Next Year

bewitched,bothered n bewildered.

i have not seen a rainbow in ages and it was nice to see one on the way out to dinner just the other day. I made matt stop by the road shoulder along the CTE and we must have been a sight. 2 jokers as if they've never seen a rainbow before. wouldn't it be fun if we could actually chase the rainbow and find the pot of gold at the end of it?

its the end of the year and its been raining nonstop and getting all too dreary. a new start after all this maybe. the end of one helluva confusing year.
rain gets me bleagh and i'm going off in search of sunshine.

leaving for thailand tmr and i can't sleep. i've been used to going out at night and then coming back and flopping myself on the bed and watching dvds and vegetating then waking up at 11 plus the next day. so before i fly, i leave with my favourite photos from kal's and twee's birthday dinner the other day:

// I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna tell everyone
To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that)
I've got no one to blame

your grace to remind me..

Kids are cute. but terribly energy-sapping. Alls well and good if he/she is a darling angel.. you can practically get away with anything if you're cute( and i think that still applies) but some kids are just a package of hyperactive-ness,brattiness all rolled into one and you end up spending your time running after them, trying to coax, charm and then getting exasperated.
A few hours in one day and I was pooped. how about a kid of my own in my future, or better still, 2 kids, or more.. I have no idea how mums do it.

The zoo wasn't all too impressive, languid animals that looked terribly bored( even the lions half-heartedly poked around at their chicken meat and the male looked like he was suffering from hair loss.hur), sparse looking exhibits.ah, the problem with expectations maybe. it just didn't cut it the way it used to.

a few of the girls..

the boys..

the kids fascinated with feeding the goats. its a wonder the goats just chomp on any ol leaf.. without getting sick.

christmas came early to law school. :)

much thanks to our santa.. you were great.

and to everyone who helped out in xmas charity. yayness.

i need to be in the SUN. beach, wakeboarding.. anything... pleassseeeeee.
some stuff invoke certain memories, certain emotions.. i'm not quite sure if i'm ready to do this alone after so long. flight or fight.. i have both options.
and then sometimes, it sucks being a girl.. because by virtue of that you've gotta play a passive role.
wouldn't it be great if things could be the way in 'she's the man'.. awesome shite.

//Cause you give me something
That makes me scared, alright,
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try

buy me a ticket to the end of the rainbow

The exams have been over for only a few days but somehow, my brain has done such a wonderful job of going into denial and contract/prop/clt have all been filed away nicely in my cupboard and away in my brain. 5 days seem like 10, but well, i'm not complaining. Finishing the rest of ANTM on youtube without having to tell myself that i'll only watch one part of it after 10 pages of gruelling notes; concussing for 11 hours straight and still feel like sleeping without having to jump out of bed angsting about trying to finish a neverending chapter of corporate governance;watching my calendar fill up not with academic clutter but with delightfully fun stuff; renting chick flicks from videozy and settling back with a book and another 2 deliciously inviting books waiting on the table.

there was st james power station which was pretty much a letdown: the drinks were alright, the crowd dysmal: being made up of old men, the music abit of a schizo, and if you were high enough on the booze, you could almost convince yourself that the drilling in the next room was part of the music. weren't we amazing, we finished a bottle of whiskey in 45 min.

and zouk which had to be down in the pits. insane crowd.the social gatherings started from the kopitiam. i mean we could have possibly done a law school gathering impromtu on the spot (we had that many people), and a rgs gathering next to the bar.. (which consisted of meeting ppl from waaaay back like from my lower sec days who were definitely on a high). and well, i wasn't even high. :/

the only photo of the night with matt:

I definitely was higher at walas listening to EIC on one asahi and (fun)supper at crystal jade thereafter. i have to agree with kalyn that yea, he does have much stage presence and charm. i'm sorry joel if you do not know how to appreciate good stuff. : P

yesterday was spent exploring parts of singapore i've never walked through before: scouring tekka and little india.

" lock the doors!"
"eeeks. and this is where we hang on to each other for dear lives"

and bollocks to one way streets. they're horribly irritating. but well, yay to my navigator while i did the driving. we weren't lost too badly.

all these.. and its only been 5 days since.
its 1530 now.. and i got up at 1130.. ain't too bad if i crawl back into bed now would it. heh.

//You dont have to be cool
To rule my world
Aint no particular sign
Im more compatible with
I just want your extra time
And your kiss

crush

"It doesn't take a scientist To understand what's going on baby"

like how the boy across raises your adrenaline just a little bit each time you look at him, or how each time you look into his eyes, your heart does a little flutter.
Separated only by that physical distance... you see, but you don't touch, you can't, at least not now..
and i know how it feels.
those crazy thoughts that flood your mind.. that little hint of a smile on your lips each time you think of him..
i know..because I see, but i cant touch...

this.

thanks mum. for calling me home early, away from being hardworking and attempting to internalize asiatic to tell me that we got to drive the hyundai instead of daddy's new hunka hunka burning lurve. to avoid getting scratches and dirt on its first day of inception.

why ah why.
alas, its a cruel world.

the best part had to be when i had my hands on the windows, staring into the black leather interior, just short of pressing my face against the glass, and my mum promptly said..

" see.. but you can't touch it.. "

thanks mum.
I do have a crush.
