Long Time Coming

Its been a long time since i visited. more then a year to be precise. so much has happened, and so much has changed. maybe i would have posted more if blogger didnt shut down on me some one year ago.

anyway, its good to be back.. i wonder how long i'll stay this time.

been working for more then a year. The Lord has graciously blessed. Everyday i see His work in mine. and im thankful for all the blessings, wisdom and grace He has showered upon me. i forget sometimes, and i grumble and complain, but the faithful Him has never let me go.

Jesus take the wheel by carrier underwood. i love this song. mum mentioned it yesterday, that she thought of me, and wanted to tell me that when she heard the song. and it hit me, albeit, a little slow, that shes right. this song whenever i sing it, somehow it comes from the heart. Jesus take the wheel, take it from my hands, for i cant do this on my own. I'm letting go, give me one more chance.

im learning everyday, to lean on Him and to tak as from a Father's hand.

im heading back to australia after one year next week, and i really cant wait. to see all the places ive missed so much, and to see if australia is really a place i could live in for the long haul. it'll be so good to go back. to see the people ive missed so much. i pray for it to be a blessed trip.

on to some random thoughts, which make no sense at all, which doesnt warrant being in a post, but im going to do so anyway :)

i have to work tomorrow, and im thinking if i should da bao the new mas donalds fish meal to the office.

i think im going to try to clear all the work smses from my phone today, cause i got the new nokia 6300 from the office yesterday, YAY! and ive yet to transfer as my ole phone has heaps of impt messages.

i miss d..a lot, his hair looks pretty nice from what i saw in the webcam yesterday :)

im going to trot to work with my new bag tomorrow, just cause its so cute :)

one more week til OZ!

must buy daily contact lenses

His grace is sufficient for me.

:) till the next post...

Partings are such sweet sorrow

Today, i bade my dd goodbye for the next few months albeit a little tearfully at the airport. He's heading over to perth for his 1.5-2 year degree course.

my heart ached since thursday, with his impending departure. However, i know he's in safe hands, for He who trusts in the Lord, will never be moved.

Different memories, thoughts and experiences flashed through my mind this morning. i remember our saturday dates we have all so faithfully every weekend, our walks home, his sweet kisses on my forehead bidding me goodbye whenever we part, the sweet way he cares for me when im sick, our teasing punches at each other, the javachip frap we always share, his sheepish smile whenever we meet, his protective arm around my shoulders, to the little stubble on his chin.

i wonder how im going to get accustomed to not hving him around for the next few months. for its been nearly 7 years, and we have grown very much accustomed to having each other around. However, i do know that whenever i need him, he will always be around, even though he's right next door, over at the continent around the corner.

so between now and then, till i see u again, i'll be loving you d... love me..

2006-03-06T06:49:00.000-08:00

for my reference, a few things bought over the last month =) its been a long time since i updated, and i must do a mini log of wat ive been up too realli soon, the Lord has really been very gracious towards me. =) till then, my little webspace is forming mini cobwebs.

Woe is Me

Disclaimer: bimbotic post coming up

I think i am suffering from shopping withdrawal syndrome. Since coming back from Sri Lanka. i haven't purchased anything. And to date, the urge to go roam the streets on the quest has sadly eluded me. I see posts of girls shopping and their purchases, and i make mental notes to buy this and that, but never go about doing so. i keep meaning to head to bugis village to see whats the hype about there, but never get around doing so! whats up i say? =)

maybe its the overflowing wardrobe that is turning me off shopping. each time something ironed needs to be hung, i have to wrestle with the darn hangers and clothes inside my closet to get them in. and soon after, due to the immense amt of clothes, they get crushed anyway! so whats the whole point of ironing?!

anyhoo, this lazy arse habit of sitting around simply must end. i must i must go do some shopping =)

Random Ramblings

It has been an interesting 2 months. Tons have happened. My reflection of the past few months surfaced when i stared into the cool dark night, up at the stars as i so often do, when i remember to admire the beauty of the Lord's creations.

D and me worked things out, and the future seems promising at this juncture, although we cant say how our future will pan out exactly.

In the meantime, its time together, the company, laughs, smiles and little gestures that makes everything all worthwile, not forgetting the firm hold onto the hand of God, who has never let me fall.

Jet Plane Facination

Disclaimer: Bimbotic post coming up

Been back for about two weeks and im still unpacking! This goes to show how lousy i am at packing and unpacking. And best of all, im headed to Srilanka for 10 days on Sunday, and ive yet to pack a single thing for the trip! =)

While unpacking, ive realised that leaving the bulk of my shoes to come back in January was a BAD idea. i only have a selective few pairs here, and rotating between them is killing me. I want to go shoe shopping! i have already bought a pair of heels, couldn't resist. and one of these days i want to head to VNC to see if they have another pretty pair of shoes. =) However, im so sure when my shoes come back this december, my mum is gonna flip! i think i have nearly 20 pairs there. Hence, now i have to buy another shoe cabinet to accomodate my shoes. this is hilarious.

Anyhoo, haven't been shopping a lot since i got back. for my reference, ive bought 1 pair of heels, 1 red cropped cardi, 1 green pleated skirt, a gorgeous chiffon halter tube dress =), and my biggest splurge - a mango cropped khaki floral jacket. =) i think to date, thats about it.

Anyhoo, i really should get a move on, and pick things up! =) in the meantime, ive been a disciplined girl, going jogging everynight and i think my body is finally showing signs of slowly picking itself up, from self-destruction mode. Building up my lung capacity. =) Of course, it wouldnt hurt, if i lost a few pounds in the process! =)

Just a Girl

As I walk on
I am slowly picking up the broken pieces of my heart
The questions remains
Will I find them all

I smile and trudge on
Reminding myself of the person I am
All in the quest
Of piecing it all together again

The Land of Everlasting Summer

Im back! touched down on Sunday, and have taken some time settling things here and there. Its good to be back, back to the people that love me. its been a long time, and loads have happened.

Spent today with a haircut that im not so sure about, but it seems more managable, though ive gotten some mixed reactions, and the rest of the night with a good friend.

so much has happened. i spent the night with her catching up. my heart goes out to her... i must make an effort to be there for her especially now.. Poor girl... how hard things are for her at the moment, having to deal with the sudden loss of her mother, and responsibilities...

Long Time Coming

As stated, this post is long overdue. i have just returned home for an extremely hectic 2 weeks. When i took off for melbourne, i had to take one week off school, and missed out on the break as well, therefore, when i came back, i knew i had my work cut out for me, and i did. in the short span of 2 weeks, i had a test, an essay, a persentation and a report, all due back to back. But the Lord has been so merciful and has showered me with so much grace of which i am so thankful for.

These 2 weeks have been so tough, but as i look back now, i can see the hand of God working in my life, every step of the way, from the first essay, to the final report today, of which is a group project, but all my group members bailed out on me, but the Lord gave me so much grace to do it, and the lecturer (who is sucha pain in the neck who finds fault with everything) found fault with nothing. God is good.

Also.. i have neglected to mention that the Lord healed me of a stomach problem ive had ever since i operated on my tummy 3 years ago. every single day, my stomach will bloat and hurt. every day. But when i went for the convention, the Lord healed all my pain. Praise the Lord. And yet, i had little faith. during the healing service... the pastor told everyone who has been healed to step forward and just say what the Lord has healed u of, and at that moment, i had no boldness to go forward. subconsciously i told the Lord, if u have realli healed me, show me a sign please.

And just before the meeting closed. the pastor stopped and said, someone here has been healed of a stomach problem, the pain is no more. and at that moment, i felt this soothing sensation touch me, from the stomach, which filled the rest of my body. and yet at that point i couldnt believe. i didnt think i was worthy enough to be healed...

After the service, i was still deep in my thoughts, and then, this sister of melbourne, came up to me and asked me: "so sister, what did u get from the sermon?" i just smiled at her... Then, before long, this other sister came up to me and said: "so sister, what did u get from the sermon?" the second time, i just smiled at her.

And finally, Sis mary, my perth church sister came up to me and said:" so N.. what did u receive from the service?" at this point.. i could only smile at her... i know that it is no coincidence, and How merciful the Lord is.. not only did He give me one sign... He gave me so many... Even when i doubted Him, and did not Glorify His name, my Jesus did not drop me... instead He showed me even more mercy and grace.. of which i did not deserve...

Now, i am healed.. and my heart sings praises to My Lord, Jesus Christ.. truly... my Saviour and my Healer...

I worship the Living God.. the One true Living God, whose signs and wonders never cease to amaze me.

Tomorrow
Many things about tomorrow
I dont seem to understand...
But i know, who holds tomorrow...
And i know, who holds my hand...

This song, brings such peace and assurance to my heart, knowing, just knowing.. My Heavenly Father, will never let me go. I pray He gives me the grace, to cling onto His loving hand, till the day i finally meet Him in heaven.

A case of the broody-ies

Feeling a little broody and kinda sad. Firstly, i have a presentation (with handouts) to do up by tonight, and a report to complete by tomorrow. Which basically means even though im exhausted at the moment, sleep is not possible. Secondly, speaking to d today, brought up an open and heart-to-heart talk about his personal relationship with God. I'm really concerned. I think the time i spend on my knees are greatly lacking. Its time i kneel down, and really pray. Thirdly, everyone in the house has gone to sleep, and have been sleeping since 9.30pm. Being the only one awake, tired, overloaded with work, and broody... not good, not good...

Its high time, i spend some quality time on my knees.

2005-10-15T07:54:00.000-07:00

the audrey hepburn style top. =) the sellers photo. at least this one shows the details. =) pretty????

2005-10-15T07:51:00.000-07:00

I realised i didnt know wat clothes i had sitting around in the closet of mine. due to the lack of space, many have earned the title of sitting in a huge bag, at the bottom of the closet. No more hangers, or hanger space for them u see. and to remind myself of what i have, i took some photos. the photos also served as a guide to which of the tops i wanted to sell away. Anyhoo, a breakdown of the following tops. =) as follows: 1. love the first top, bought it in melbourne, and its highly unique. =) never seen anything like it 2. vintage off shoulder top. bought over ebay, and i love it! only problem, the shoulders are too loose. i need to stitch it up, the problem? my sewing skills are non-existent! help! 3. tried to use photoshop to lighten and contrast the top for some detail, but didnt help much. it actually has puff sleeves, mini lace around the collar, and lace down the front, a realli victorian kinda look, bought it cause i was so unique. =) 4. a marilyn moroe kinda top for work 5. a gift from P. its made of gorgeous material that just flows soooo comfortably! lovely. 6. i think im gonna sell this top, though i realli liked it in melbourne.. the shirring realli is at an awkward position which i think i'll find irritating wearing for long hours. 7. this is a puff sleeve audrey hepburn style top, again, the camera and lighting didnt manage to capture the sweet details. 8. wore this out for a casual lunch, took a photo to document the red cheery bag, red watch and red shoes combination. =) i like red, as u can clearly tell. hehE. items not in shot: white and pink cropped cardis. =), living doll camisole - to be sold, de cujba polka dots formal sheer vintage top - to be sold.

2005-10-14T09:03:00.000-07:00

Finally, the melbourne photos. =) Love the place. the old colonial feel, the atmosphere, the culture. Gorgeous. no wonder its the 2nd most ideal city to live in. Cant agree more. isn't it just sucha magical place, the photos dont do it enough justice. =)

2005-10-10T18:01:00.000-07:00

You are my sunshine

I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. firstly, i tumbled outta bed at a grand 2.30pm! and waking up so late in the day usually spoilts it for me, and the fact that i have an impending test due, with so much to study and memorise... I couldn't pull myself together to study, and have been doing various things until now. i boiled water, had a cup of green tea, cupnoodles bleah. Did some toning exercises, bathed, trimmed my eyebrows, and until now im all weirded out, with no motivation to start, so here i am, doodling on blogger.

Stumbled upon someone's blog, who penned an entry about a 6 yr relationship she has with her bf/fiance, which got me thinking about mine (which is almost at its 6 year mark, this october 19th which we will spend apart again.. =( ). We had a really long conversation yesterday, over msn webcam and a few things he said, really made me smile. Not wanting to forget, i decided to extract it here. =)

Scenario 1: i was, as girls do sometimes, get all "whiny and into the im-not-pretty-enough mode", and his replies... were priceless.

ME: i feel that im not pretty enough.. or smart enough, or intriguing enough, or domesticated enough or wellrounded enough...that when someone "more" in these areas come along... =(

DD: But in fact u are.
dun doubt yrself k darling
ure the most well-rounded girl i have ever come across
of cuz there will be another girl who is better than u out there
but im sure ure e one for me

ME: (already smiling at this point)
thats sweet

DD: u know key has grooves?

ME: yes?

DD: u fit my grooves

=)

Scenario 2: we were chatting along happily, and i asked if he ever suspected that i cheated on him, and his replies... made me laugh. =) by the way, bear in mind the boyfriend has cracked and blistered painful lips, which hurt when he smiles or laughs.

ME: did u ever think that i cheated on u

DD: huh
no leh

Me:howcome?

DD: u would tell me if u do

ME: !!
i would tell u if i cheated?

DD: ure not that sort of person
ure faithful
not loyal but faithful.. loyal is for dogs

im trying not to laugh or smile now
really difficult when im looking at u

Me:?? Howcome??

DD: u make me happy
ure my sunshine, ure my sunshine, u make me happy when skies are grey

Me: awwww

=) its days like this... that are worth waking up for... Anyhoo.. ive been putting off loading the pictures taken in Melbourne. i think i will do so... by tonight. =) i hope... *crosses all fingers*

Unfortunately, the day he gets back, is the day i fly off to melbourne. =( i look forward to his calls though. =) oh yes, dd, if u visit this site, please sms me your shirt, and berms measurements would u? for the shirt - underarm to underarm, laid flat, in cm, and also the length of an ideal shirt, and the berms, just the measurements in inches of the waist. somehow, im a really really bad judge of size!! the tops i bought for d and my bro all turned out too small. i underestimate sizes. =) the only person i can shop for is my sis, as we're almost the same size, especially with tops. =)

Thai Drop Outs

*note: to d, a reflection of us.

Yesterday u finally managed to give me a ring after being in thailand for 3 days, drinking muddy water due to poor suction with the pumps, sleeping with the rain, and running in it, all 6 klic or whatever u boys call it. =)

However, yesterday's phone call only lasted approximately 50 seconds half of which was spent with the phone line dropping off, cutting us off mid sentence. All we got to say in those few seconds was: "D, its u! How are u!" and your reply: "im ok, what's wrong, are u sad?" and the line went dead.

However, these few words, so little, meant so much to me. You had no idea what was going on these few days, and yet, from one mere sentence from me, you could tell, when i didn't even intend to tell u, because i didnt want u to worry. The line dropped off, and u didnt manage to call me back.

Today, u called again, and d, u have no idea how happy i was to hear your voice. in a rush, as quick as i could i recapped everything that happened to me today, and told u everything in a nutshell, which took up 2.5 minutes, and u in return told me the recap of your 3 days, which included the muddy water, and rain bits. =) and after that, the line... again, went dead... however not before i got to tell u i missed u, and hear them back without hesitation from u.

Thanks d... just knowing dd.. just knowin..

2005-09-12T01:54:00.000-07:00

Thoughts

D has head to thailand for 2 weeks for training, and today's the first day he has been apart from me. i miss him. i know it sounds queer, cause in reality im miles, (ok more then miles) away from him, from singapore anyway. But somehow, i feel closer to him when he's in singapore. now that he's in Thailand, i miss him even more, on top of being worried about him no matter how much re assures me he'll be alrite. somehow my d has a knack of getting himself hurt and into scrapes. the last incident where he was bitten by a snake and concussed for like 2 days? is enough to scare me.

Anyhoo.. im too tired to finish this post... maybe tomorrow eh. hey no, wait a minute i have a presentation to complete, AND rush to the post office. bahhhhh work.

2005-09-07T04:28:00.000-07:00

i bought these 2 belts from ebay, and im sooo thrilled! i thought it was so unique as it is already "ribboned" if u know wat i mean, and the pink one really makes me feel like a present. hee! =) thought the black one would be really good for work pants, the audrey hepburn look perhaps? =)

2005-09-07T04:25:00.000-07:00

my new geen kitten heeled slippers, i cant seem to find them in spore after op ran outta them, and it fit perfectly! =) received it in the mail yesterday. wore it immediately after tearing open the package.

Happy

There are many things in my life i have to be thankful for, and one of those things, is my relationship with d. After being together for nearly 6 years now (we turn 6 on Oct 19), we have our fair share of ups and downs, trials and problems. But one thing stood through it all though, is our relationship.

i strongly believe, a relationship rooted in Christ, is the best foundation for any relationship. and i also believe that the Lord's perfect will, is the best will. I surrendered my relationship entirely into the hands of my Jesus, and not once has He let me down, not once. Sure through these almost 6 years, i have sometimes lost some faith, and started worrying, but even so, My Jesus came through for me every single time.

D spoke to his dad this week, i thank God for opening a way, and though his dad did not say he was against D taking Water Babtism and instead told him to consider for a year or so cause he felt it was a huge step, and that it was worth considering seriously about, he did not say no, and he was not adverse, although tentative. Praise God. I surrender everything into His hands, and i believe in God's perfect timing, He will work in D's family's lives as well.

My Jesus has always been faithful, and always loved me, and filled my life with such joy and blessings, and i thank God for loving me so much, even when i really do not deserve it.

His grace is sufficient for me.

Blue Coffee

Righ now i should be majorly concerntrating on my studies with the impending test due tomorrow, but my heart and mind are so far away. With what you might ask, with thoughts about d and me.

And maybe just maybe if i pen it all down, i would be able to channel concerntration back into my work. i have been bogged down by thoughts about our possible future, and to date, i must say nothing has been confirmed in our lives, even though we are both in a commited relationship. one of the silent issues in our relationship which has not been entirely dealt with has to do with religion. D is a Christian and goes to church weekly, and we're happy together. However, we have to be realistic. D comes from a essentially Buddist family, of which his grandmother has broken up his uncle and his wife, because she was a Christian, even after they got married. This sets me thinking. Even though, i think his parents would not go to that kind of extreme, i know that this issue is still an issue with them, and will be an issue in the future.

the thing is when a couple gets married, the guy's family will naturally expect the girl to be obedient to the in-laws and follow suit with their beliefs. even if i do not believe in it, im sure they will expect me to do and follow suit with the rites if the need calls for it, be it a funeral, or routine grave visiting. In their eyes, this will be an issue about me respecting them, and if i do not, it is as though im giving them no respect. The thing is, this is not about respect, i do respect them, and if i marry into the family, i will love them as my own, however, my religion is something i cannot compromise. I love my Jesus, and He is my life. My religion is the core of me, and Jesus is what makes me who i am. When i'm down, it is my relationship with God that raises me up. I am happy everyday, because i know i have my Jesus, and a clear conscience which allows me to part take in the Holy Communion once every month.

If i compromise my beliefs, i will be loosing myself. i cant. i just cant.

And i know what my d will say, its up to me, he won't force me, but the thing is, like it or not, this WILL pose as a strain to our relationship. i cannot expect him to be standing in the middle of his parents and me.

And i firmly believe that for a couple to be happy together, about such fundamental issues, both people should be able to be in concensus about it, and stand on firm ground together. the thing is, i think/know what my d will say. if his parents and sister persuade and ask him to go through the rites for them, out of respect of them, he will. the thing is i cant accept this. i understand why he would do it, i really do, but i cant accept it, because i know that at the end of the day, both of us will be unhappy due to issues like this. it is definitely going to cause friction between us. And if so, aren't we in a relationship bound to fail? it is only a matter of time.

Right now, the harsh reality is staring me in the face. the only sensible and mature thing to do, is for dd to have a serious talk with his parents. to let them know that he is serious about me, and even though we aren't thinking of settling down just yet, these are the issues, will they be able to accept them. outta respect for them, we have to let them know, and depending on their reactions, we will have to decide what to do with our relationship.

so u see... im blue...

Goodness! my housemate and i had sucha good laugh over that. the best part was that he agreed! i nearly died. anyhoo, it was a nice distraction from my extremely boring text. i have a test this thursday which is sucha drag. i should be studying, but im dead tired, and i miss my d tremendously, another 4 days of no contact, due to another outfield camp. =(

Shopaholic Blues

There are days that just start out all WRONG. For me, today started out just great, I was awoken by the voice of someone i love so dearly, who called to give me the great news that he is officially a licensed driver. Hearing the jubilance in his voice made my day, and when he hung up, i snuggled back into bed with a contented sigh. WRONG MOVE!

I was contemplating heading out to the city and harbow town for shopping either today, or tomorrow, but upon heading back to sleep, i woke up at 2 and decided, my adventures in the city shall wait till tomorrow. WRONG MOVE AGAIN.

I awoke, and headed to the kitchen to make a coffee frappe, and was happily in the midst of it, when my LAndlady, AKA my aunt, started nagging and tearing my brains out in the kitchen! she decided yesterday that she would head to the melbourne conventio.n with her friends, after some persuading from her sister in law, but WHAT THE HECK! now she is regreting it, and coming to me and NAGGING ANG NAGGING about burning the house down, dirtying her kitchen, dirtying her living room, her dining room, ALL OF THE ABOVE. She got me sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo irritated! accusing me of doing all of the above when she's gone. AHH! So i told her, since she is so worried, FINE! during those ten days, i'll move out! she'll prefer it that way, NO? and now, despite not having any food into my body yet, for the day, im sitting in the little corner of my room, and just wishing im home, or somewhere else, where i wouldn't have to deal with land ladies, throwing their weight around.

So u see, i SHOULD have gone out. the ONE day i decide to stay at home and rest, i suffer these repercussions! argh! so now u know why i never spend one whole day at home. its because i hate to deal with such things on a daily basis. Your house, is definitely not your home.

2005-08-17T16:16:00.000-07:00

AHhhhh My EYES!

I tumbled outta bed today at 12.15, and within 10 minutes i dressed in front of the heater and headed out to carousel for some grocery shopping, but naughty me couldn't resist popping into some of the stores along the way to cole.s. And my oh my... that was sucha wrong move! i promised myself never to buy anything at full price from valley gir.l because before long most of their stuff go on sale, and i always feel cheated paying full price for them, BUT i decided to pop in for a browse, and that was seriously a wrong move. Soooooo many things caught my eye there! their new season spring clothes are gorgeous and very bohemian inspired! Nevertheless, i walked defiantly outta there, with a longly look as i walked past the store on the way back, after grocery shopping. =) i think towards the end if the season, most of their stock will move over to harbour town, and i'll hv a gd time shopping there, at the discounted store. =) *crosses all my fingers*.

however, i couldn't resist this gorgeous boho necklace from sportsgir.l. Ive been eyeing it for a month, and it was the last piece at carousel, as well as gardencity, it set me back by 25 dollars though, pretty steep for a necklace, but do take a look and tell me wat u think eh? worth it? or not? i can still refund it as long as it has not been worn. =)

in the meatime its back to some boring studying for tom's classes. I pray for good weather tomorrow. i had to skip my classes on tue due to a thunderstore, terrible wind and possibly hail. And im off to defrost my fish for tonight's thai red curry fish for dinner. I have been eatting really unhealthily lately, and the lack of proper food into my body its slowly taking its toll.

oh yes! i got a few pieces of clothing as gifts recently, but im realli not sure if i should keep them, cause... they aren't styles that i would buy myself. ive taken a few shots, and will upload it soon, do give me ur point of view eh? would appreciate it loads. D, if u happen to surf on by, do drop me a comment k? would like to know wat u think. and oh yes, thanx angela for all ur kind comments, they always make my day. =)

2005-08-17T04:35:00.000-07:00

and the sportgirl necklace im crazy about! =) whatcha think?!

2005-08-17T04:34:00.000-07:00

should i remove the bow? im not sure if i should unpick it, or leave it there, u think? i added the flower for some detail. =)

2005-08-17T04:33:00.000-07:00

i dont know if i should keep this. its made of terry towel material, but wat do u think of the whole look?

2005-08-15T09:29:00.000-07:00

A few things i bought lately. =) i thought the necklace was soo quaint and interesting, and the bracelet caught me eye. =) wish the flash of the cam didnt wash out so much of the colour in the necklace though. =)

2005-08-15T09:26:00.000-07:00

an array of tees! =) realli love all of them, the top left green one i didn't fancy all that much, but i thought it would look realli nice with the blue corsage i bought from accessoriz.e a few weeks ago, so i bought it. and i dont usually buy polo tees, but this brown one, the colour, and the fit, was soo perfect for once! =) yay. and i especially like the graphic tees. =)

2005-08-15T09:21:00.000-07:00

i love this skirt! its sooo rara and girlie, =) and not too short too. i hate skirts that are too short, not practical for me. =) hee. and the belt above it, is actually a back sequinned belt, it jazzes up an outfit immediately! =)

2005-08-15T09:19:00.000-07:00

an long offshoulder top. =)

Parting is such sweet sorrow

I just learnt from my mum, about my toapeh's will, and upon hearing it, my heart swelled with so much sadness, love and appreciation for this man, who's heart has always been so sweet and soft. I will never forget about his sweet sweet care and concern for me all these years. Its a small amount, but its not the money that matters. the fact that he has loved me so much, all these years, and his love and care for me that touches my soul.

I will always remember this sweet, caring, thoughtful, forgiving and kindhearted man, who never fails to remember people less fortunate then him, who never complains about how hard life is for him, who never carries a grudge, who always welcomes everyone with open arms, who loves without expecting anything in return, who even cares about the little birds that he feeds on a daily basis because he cares about them too. Such love, from a man who has so little, and yet so much to give.

"Professor" James, Toapeh... My Toapeh, the grandfather i never had, till we meet again, I love you, have always loved you, and i always will. I Thank God for blessing me, with you, all these 21 years of my life.

I bid you a sweet Goodbye... Till we meet again...

The poncho from the previous day, thought i'll pin it like this, does it look queer? =)

2005-08-07T10:12:00.000-07:00

this is the double top i bought from the other day. =)

2005-08-07T09:55:00.000-07:00

i bought the pearl necklace, cause the velvet ribbon ties were just so unique, my friend j talked me into it, and im glad she did =), she's really into pearls and looks realli sweet in them, where else i wonder if i can carry it off =). love the pink flower too, goes with quite a bit of my stuff.

2005-08-07T09:52:00.000-07:00

this star keychain, i purchased the day before yesterday at the city. i didnt buy anything that day. =) just this little star that i like a huge deal, wondering if i should get the red one too, should i? hmm

2005-08-07T09:50:00.000-07:00

Recently, im in love with accessories, and accessoriz.e is the main source of it. =) i seem to be highly taken up by key rings lately, and this is my latest purchase. both sides have the flower embossed on it, and i thought it looked absolutely too sweet to resist. u think?

2005-08-02T10:08:00.000-07:00

and my all time greatest splurge, EVER. a new phone i bought over ebay. =) the classic samsun.g t500, in ruby red, and diamentes! love it! =) ive been liking this phone ever since it was launched, i cant believe i have it. =) its realli so small and compact, packs a mean battery, and oh so gorgeous in my eyes. =)

2005-08-02T10:06:00.000-07:00

when i saw this there, i was soooo happy! cause i previously wanted to get it when it was full price, but didnt manage to, as they ran outta stock! so when i saw it, YAY! =) a cream cardigan. it looks much much much better worn onthe body. =) so versatile this piece, as its sleeveless, it'll go with formal, with the pin if i want the more formal dinner party look.=) and much more casual, when its not pinned. =) pretty? =) oh yes, i forgot, all the pieces i listed, are oz 7 dollars. so all these cost me only 28! =) Yay! a nice bargain. that's what i love abt oz. when its cheap, its realli cheap =)

2005-08-02T10:01:00.000-07:00

this double top was another last piece in the store! hmm, i seem to have an affinity with last pieces =). thought it was pretty interesting with the tank underneath and an offshoulder sheer pink top above it. u think? my housemate didnt like it. she thinks its too funky.... but i likeeee, u think? =)

2005-08-02T09:59:00.000-07:00

when i went to grab groceries, i happened to pop by this store, which had a clearance sale going on. i didnt expect to get anything, as i had stepped in previously and came out empty handed. however, i was pleasantly surprised =) i came out with 4 items. for starters, a pink cute poncho. hmm i know that ponchos are not popular in Singapore, and most people are probably going to look at me funny when i wear it, but who cares eh? =) when u like something, what's there to stop u, dont u think? and the best part, its made of knitted material? so its just nice for singapore, not too thick to wear arnd. and i have a few ideas on how a brooch, and a few tugs here and there, will turn it into a pretty interesting shrug/cadigan. =) pretty..... and the purple camisole (which came with matching undies) caught my eye too, another last piece! =) i couldn't resist the pretty little purple flowers and the velvet straps. =)

2005-08-02T09:53:00.000-07:00

Accessoriz.e was having a half price sale!! YAY!!! how could i resist, realli! =) so in i went, and guess wat, i was there for an hour! looking at all the little trinkets that were there! sooo pretty! i ended up with: 2 corsages, one of a flower, which is more classy and formal, and the other, a more casual fun one. so cute! and i absolutely could not resist the 2 bracelets, i loved the round gold boho one immediately, and to my surprise it actually FIT my pathetic wrist! this is because i have pathetically thin wrists, that hardly any bracelets fit me! and the other heart bracelet, i couldnt resist, and got it the next time i went back to the store as i thought it was soooo swweet. to top it off i couldn't resist the pretty key chains as well! i thought it would be soo pretty and eye catching to hang then on the handles of my many handbags. the strawberry, rhinestoned stars, and pink handbag. =) last buy not least, a black classy hair tie, and a gorgeous slinky striped sash from sportsgirl, the last piece, on sale, at 5 dollars! yay! =) i love accessories!

Sick Puppy Out Loose

it took only a week. Yes. only one week and im sick. down with a bad cold and with the chilly weather, and hot heaters, going in and out of hot rooms and into the cold nights, its been really hard to shake off this darn cold. and when i tumbled outta bed today, i felt really out of sorts. But nevertheless, i had to head out to go get groceries, or else the week would start out even worse, with only instant noodles to my name. Anyhoo, went to carousel and grabbed some things =) whipped up some tuna pasta for lunch, and for dinner, i was just too tired and had no appetite for any proper food, so i downed some cranberry juice, and some fish nuggets, and right now, i seem to be developing a cough too. =( and the cherry on top of the pie? i have 5 hours of NON_STOP classes tomorrow. Goodness. i really pray for grace to get through tomorrow.

anyhoo, on to happier things, since ive been back, ive done a little retail therapy. =) pics later.

2005-07-25T23:40:00.000-07:00

Its Winter Baby!

I'm back! =) back in the land of the kangas! the night i touched down, i felt a little homesick! It was sucha HUGE difference from my home in singapore, where the house is noisy, even at 2am in the morning. here, its dead quiet, with my housemate and aunt sleeping from 11? But its all Good! today went really well, and im happy happy. =) heading for another class tomorrow. i wanted to head out after that, but hv no idea where to gooo. cause on thursday, im heading to the city and habour town with my best friend, and on wed, we are heading to garden city. So.. there doesn't seem to be anywhere else to go, that wouldn't incur too much time wasted on bus trips, cause my classes finish at arnd 3? and shops close at 5! BAHHh. =)

Anyway, i have my heart SET on enjoying this last sem before i graduate! i must! it will be the most memorable one in my WHOLE life!!! =) it was hard to leave everyone i love so dearly at home, and my boyfriend, but its through all this, that ive learnt and experienced so much, and really lived. =)

Thinking on hind sight, im so blessed to be able to study in oz. To breathe the cool crisp air, feel the winter breeze in my hair, to dance in the fields, eat fish and chips under the moonlight at the harbour, and share it all with sucha close friend of mine. Im so blessed, I thank God for fulfilling my dream. =)

The chorus from this song really depicts how i feel, Do take a read: =)

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly

I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky

I'll make a wish

Take a chance

Make a change

And breakaway

Out of the darkness and into the sun

But I won't forget all the ones that I love

I'll take a risk

Take a chance

Make a change

And breakaway

Wanna feel the warm breeze

Sleep under a palm tree

Feel the rush of the ocean

Get onboard a fast train

Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)

And breakaway

Absolutely worth it, here's my loot, nice nice? =) love the sequins on the two tanks, and their colours! they look nice worn together and layered. the t-shirt i thought was so quaint, with the flower and ribbons =) and the polo tee, mint green, with red rhinestones, and floral collar, loved the combi! =) nice nice?

HOME is where the HEART is

Ive been home for 2 days, and its been great. i've missed my family and d so much that finally seeing and being with them, has made me so infinitely happy. =) i only wish i can see d more often, anyhoo, i'm happy.Went down orchard today, but queerly enough, the GSS has nothing that has attracted me! Walked the WHOLE day, and made not one purchase. =) Well, tomorrow's another day. =) Now i shall go relax with a gd read, and soak up the blissful aura around me.

Template Woes

Attempting to switch to another comment system nearly killed me, im not tech whizz, and with my blogger browser giving me weird "language" where all i see while logged on to the blogger system are boxes and brackets like this: [[[ in replacement of text, its killing me!

If u still do not get what i mean, let me try to elaborate more. for example, before posting a post, we get to select the month, date and time rite? well, all i see in the selection box is: [] [] [] []. so i can only guess what i am clicking. =P

anyhow, i finally managed to get haloscan working on my blogspace (Thanx angela for the recommendation). but not before it screwed up my text configurations, now for the life of me, i cant figure out how to change the text from times new roman, size 12, back to my original arial, font size 10. =P

On an entire different note altogether. Ive been resting for the past few days, after the submission of my 2 very mind-boggling essays. Been driving arnd perth with my friends, shopping and eatting, and it has been fun. But all good things must come to an end, and unfortunately, it has. With 3 tests coming up next week, i've gotta sit down and force myself to study. Bahhh...

oh yes, recently ive also stumbled upon a really interesting site, www.stylediary.com signed up for it.
what a very novel idea the webmasters came up with. =)

okie, time for a coffee refill, before i begin some real work.

toodles!

2005-05-23T09:53:00.000-07:00

I bought these pair of shoes today, celebrating the submission of my final 2 essays for this semester! Woohoo!! =) i LOVE the colours!

Housemates

A kinda unpleasant start to the day. My housemate seems to be in a foul mood, and the telltale signs u say? : door slamming, kitchen cupboard banging, and she walked past my room like 4 times, but never bothered once to just look in and say hi, and when i did, she just slammed the door in my face. whats up with her. Can't take such hostility in the house man. AND her life is going great now! so what's up with the attitude, seriously!

Living under such circumstances is seriously unpleasant. Its times like this, i take on what i call the "dorothy-toto-syndrome": "there's no place like home, there's no place like home"

Until i find my magical red shoes to carry me home...

SUNrise, SUNset

I really loathe the early sunsets when winter comes. Would you believe that it is only 1.45pm and it is so dark around here, in addition, it is a cloudy day, that i have to turn on the lights at 1.45!

I had classes yesterday at 3.30pm, and while i was heading to school, at 3, i realised that the sun was already begining its decent. and by the time my class was done, at 5pm, it was dark. Imagine 7pm in Singapore. It was dark. As winter approaches, the days are going to get shorter and shorter. And this is the one thing i loathe about winter. the Long long long nights, and untra short days. its only bright until around 3+ before it starts feeling like sunset.

Anyhoo, while this weather is making me sleepy and tired, i have to drown myself in Berocca, and my essay, which i HAVE to complete by tonight, on Thai PM Thaksi.n. I really need God's strength and grace to get through this.

Petty Grievances

My Aunt is driving me up the wall. Really. She can't seem to stop running down my housemate, and it is driving me absolutely crazy! i know she is not perfect, and what she 'does' to my aunt, she does to me too, but they are all little things, that we should learn to overlook, and not harp onto it, like its some great calamity that has happened. Please.

And when i try to talk to her, she loses her temper and starts throwing it around! Saying things like "you and your father are all the same, defending her... blah blah blah" i hear her saying all this, but i just turn a deaf ear to it, and ignore it. BUT she is really killing me!

Just a few minutes ago, we had a conversation outside while we were bringing out clothes in. And i saw that she had hung out my housemate, P's cardigan. As i know that P is very 'protective' about her clothes and stretching it and stuff, i mentioned to my aunt that she should not hang out P's stuff, instead, leave it for her to settle it on her own. AND she GOES OFF ON ME! about how she's not P's servant! How i spoil P. BLah BLAH BLAH. What on earth! She's the one who's doing all the unnecessary stuff that NO ONE is asking her to do, and she goes off on me?! I did not even insinuate that in any way!

ARGH! She is really really driving me up and wall. Look. i understand that P does certain things that irritate her, but no one is perfect, really! As much as P does not bother to help us wash 1 or 2 of our dishes when she is washing hers, even though we always do hers, and true, she always leaves the kitchen in a mess every morning for us to clean up after her, and a few days ago, she even bleached my clothes and wrecked them due to her disregard for my items in the sink, i just overlook it. I was really upset about the clothes and all, but whats done is done isnt it. True, she should have offered to do something about wrecking my clothes, but why harp on the unhappy stuff.

I cant take this. On top of my pending and looming deadlines on essays which are killing me, these sorta stupid "talks" and issues are adding to my grief and burden.

With this said, i cant wait to pack up and head by home, to the people that love me unconditionally.

Washing Woes

ARGH. First i have to scream! Things have been just plain horrible today. It got from bad to worse. First, i overslept, cause even though i set my alarm last night, i forgot to turn it on!! so because of that, i didnt make it for my first lesson! Manz! and it was important too! and following that, my friend smsed, that she wasn't going for the next lesson as well, and by that point, i didnt have the mood to trudge over to school, an hour and a half just for a crap lesson, and take another hour plus coming back.

I was feeling like crap all day, and decided, ok, why not make myself useful and get some laundry done. i have been procrastinating like crazy, and my laundry has pilied up like a mini mountain. So i head over to the washing machine, and guess what! it apparently has malfunctioned, (short-circuited the WHOLE house) and now, i have a bag full of WET laundry, not washed yet mind u! just wet! with a spoilt machine, that the homeowner, aka my aunt isn't going to bother to get a new one! GREAT!

so right now, unless i get a new washing machine for the house, which will cost me a bomb! i cant do laundry!!!!!!!!!!!! ahHhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

my only 2 options are: carry all my laundry to the nearest laundromat, or to my friend's place to do laundry. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

=( manz, i miss home.
