Bye-bye 2005...Today is officially the
last day of 2005. I simply couldn't believe my eyes. >.<
Time flies like anything as usual. I've thus completed my pre-U or A-level studies. It's about time to let go of things... and to make new decisions in life... as life moves on.
2006 indicates a world full of uncertainties for me. However, i still can't wait for 2006 to come no matter how scared or excited i'll be. It's just part of growing up, that's what i usually tell myself in times of uncertainties.
Yup. Growing pains.
Sometimes i feel that it's just so tough to grow up in this weary world. >.<
Anyways. I hope i shall whine and complain less in the upcoming year. =P
Before i end my last entry of 2005, i would like to thank God for whatever i have, lost or gained in my 19 years of living.
Thanks be to God.It's time for some toasting to the new year! Cheers!

Gorgeous babes.
Ballerina flats or ballet flats. Beautiful. =) I so want a pair of these! It's the 'in' thing going on now! >.<
3 more days to the New Year.A brand new year is just around the corner. Time for reflections. Reflect on the year past and the year ahead. Reflect on our failures, achievements, disappointments, old and new friendships, and life in general.
As for me, 2005 was rather an eventful year. Strange but true. Throughout 2005, i've learnt the meaning of independence and freedom. It's part of growing up. And i must say, growing up is very interesting and fun but it's tough. Each and everyone of us gotta pay a price for it. >.< And being independent, i've learnt the meaning of home. Home is where the heart always belongs to, no matter how far away you are from home. Family is what matters most. Thus, my whole year which was actually spent in Inti doing my A-level was basically about struggling for AS and A2 exams and missing home. =P
Yeah. Sad but true. Haha.
In 2005, i've learnt to not take things for granted. Didn't do well for my AS exams which explains why i've got results that suck. I did study hard, but the results were just too... unpredicatable i would say. Reality is always cruel. Reality is always harsh. Reality hurts. Enough said. That is why... i studied my ass off for my A2 exams as i wouldn't wanna take a second chance risking my future anymore.
Also, in 2005, i've built treasurable friendships with people who are real and sincere. =) They know who they are and i'm not gonna mention any names here.
*winks* Strange but true, I do miss the times I had with my A-level classmates in Inti. Aww... And i do appreciate their friendships a lot. =) And also, I always thank God for sending an angel to study with me before the A2 exams which helped me a lot. That angel was Audrey. The girl from boring Nilai. =P
*hugs and kisses*Besides that, i've also managed to strengthen the old friendships i had with my besties. In August 2005, Kay Yin went to the States to further her studies in the field of Economics. She was deeply missed by everyone here in M'sia. I won't ever forget the times we had together doing crazy stuff, laughing like nobody's business, talking sarcastically, joking like hell, eating as if there's no tomorrow, and commenting about the world around us. =D Ahh, such great times spent with friends will always be kept in my heart. Forever. =)
Also, i've spent great times with my beloved old buddy - SHEN JEAN in S'pore and in JB. =D She's a gem, a very precious one indeed. Hehe. Won't ever forget the times I had with her too, especially the ChinaBlack experience. =P And i can't wait for more visits to other clubs in future with her. Hehe. Ministry of Sound and Zouk!!! On!! Haha. XD Oh yeah, make sure we're going to Fullerton Hotel for their sinful chocolate buffet next year!! =P Heehee.
In 2005, i had good and bad times (sometimes only) with my guy. Nevertheless, I'm still very much in love with him. XD Despite 27 months of being together as a loving couple, we ARE still as loving as ever. Rite, baby?
*winks* Hopefully there will be more wonderful years to go for the both of us. =) By the way, this guy of mine is a gem too... Hehe.
*muacks*That's all for my reflections for the year 2005. I wonder what's next for 2006 for me. Hmm. Guess it's time to state down my new year's resolutions again eh? Haha. I love writing down all my new year's resolutions but then again, i hardly follow them. >.< Here's my list :
1. to find out my passion in life.
2. to be LESS blur.
3. to be a better daughter.
4. to be a better sister.
5. to be a better friend.
6. to be a better girlfriend.
7. to be a better driver.
8. to save more money and spend less.
9. to earn big bucks (if possible, haha!).
10. to make this world a better place to live in.
Haha. I know it's kinda general but I like it! XD Gotta learn to be concise next year. Haha.
"Must be short and sweet" quotes Mr. Paul Lee. >.< Alrite, my fingers are tired already after typing for so long. My brains are exhausted. Phew...at least i still have some brains left with me. Haha. I wonder what am i gonna do on new year's eve. Hmm. I love year-ends! XD
By the way, I so need to buy a pair of ballet flats or ballerina shoes or whatever you call them! I think they're nice!!! Hehe. Anybody wanna buy a pair for me for my....erm...new year present? Hehe. =P
Tata!
Time, pls slow down for me.This week's gonna be the last week of 2005. I don't seem to be anticipating for 2006. I dunno why. Perhaps i'm scared about things that are beyond my control. Ugh... i'm scared of everything. >.<
Just celebrated Christmas during the weekends. The usual thingy. Midnight mass.Christmas carols.Turkey.Christmas dinner.Wine. The only thing that surprised me was that my parents actually invited my guy over for dinner last night! >.< It's so hard to believe my ears man. Haha. Shen Jean joined us for dinner too. ;-)
I had red wine and the blackberry wine and i'm
not scratching all over myself ok!! =P
Hmph! My family loves to make fun of me, especially. >.<
Sigh. Really really wanna go to
the Ministry of Sound with shen jean and her friends this coming Wednesday but I CANNOT!!!! ARGH! My mum said i shouldn't go coz i've been going out very often nowadays.
"Where got?!?!?!" Seems like my mum is controlling me like a kid. >.< Can't go to this place...can't go to that place.. must come back early... can't go out for the whole day. Boohoohooo..... i wonder whether my mum knows that i'm 19 this year or not. o.O
Chinese New Year is coming. In a month's time. Sucks. I really want time to slow down...just a bit will do.
Sometimes i feel like slapping my own self so that i can wake up... so that i will know what i really want in life... what i really wanna pursue next... what i really wanna do in 2006... all i can do is to hope and pray that 2006 will be a great year ahead for me.
Yeah. i really hope so.
*stones*Alrite. Better stop blogging here. I'm crazy enough. Thank God I can go out with my guy tomorrow. We're gonna watch The Chronicles of Narnia. Been looking forward to watching this movie since a loooooong time ago. =)
Must sleep early tonight and wake up early coz i just received an order from my mum - to bathe the dog! >.<
Nighty night!
A Season of Joy, Peace and Hope.MERRY CHRISTMAS, PEOPLE!!! XD
A big shout-out to all those who had wished me. =)
Gonna wish some more people later. Hehe. Gonna call my law lecturer, Mr. Paul.
*winks*While we're busy celebrating Christmas, we mustn't forget that Christmas is all about Christ the Lord. The reason for His coming was to give us saving grace, our Savior, the Prince of Peace. Let us praise him even more on Christmas Day for He is always up there looking out for us. =)
It is right to give Him thanks and praise. =)
Rejoice in the name of God. Merry, merry christmas!
The eve of the eve of Christmas.Been going out pretty often nowadays. I have a i-just-wanna-go-out syndrome. Or no... perhaps i'm just directing my mind to other things so that i don't have to think about the future? The future is so uncertain and yet human beings gotta crack their brains to make the best decisions in their lives. Isn't that ironic? And the toughest part is that only WE can make the decisions regarding our future ourselves as this is our OWN future, not other people's future.
To be honest, i hate having decisions. Especially IMPORTANT decisions that can shape my life or mould my future. I suck at making decisions. Everyone knows that. Whenever i chose an outfit or a piece of clothing that is 'appealing' to me, the people around me will start commenting. "Eeeekk...nice meh?" "Aiyoh...choose something better lar." "Yucks." "Oh my god, are you ok?"
Do i have bad taste? Well...i seriously dunno. I might. I might not. I don't mind if i have bad taste when it comes to fashion. I just wanna have real good taste when it comes to life. What i really want to do in life. And to be successful in life that is...
Anyways. Enough of my ramblings. Been thinking about my future too much lately... until to the extent that i had trouble sleeping. o.O I'm so paranoid. Sigh. All i really wanna do now is to stop myself from thinking about the future (wanna escape from reality) but to enjoy the christmassy atmosphere around me. Watched 2 movies in a week. King Kong and Perhaps Love. Nice movies i must say. King Kong was a bit too long though but the king kong was cute. >.<
1 more hour to the eve of Christmas Day. How time flies. Seriously, it's freaking the shit outta me. 2005 is gonna end soon... just like that (?!). Year-ends always make me want to reflect upon my whole year. What I've done and what i've failed to do. The last week of the year is always the perfect time for us to do some serious reflections in life. By doing so, we will know where we are heading to, we will know whether our directions in life are right or wrong, and eventually we will gain success in life and become a better person as a whole.
For the time being, leave your reflections for next week. It's time to celebrate the birth of Christ and to spread joy and laughter to the people around us. God bless. =)
ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS...is NOT my 2 front teeth. (i have them already)
I WANT...
... peace.
... inner peace.
... my loved ones to be in peace.
... my loved ones to be happy.
... to spread joy to the people around me.
... to be really happy inside out.
... a miracle to happen.
... God's answers to all my prayers.
I'm just a simple and ordinary girl and i'll be contented if i have all my wishes granted on this coming Christmas.
I dunno why i sound like this...
but all i know is that...
Christmas reminds us that God keeps His promises, that miracles to happen, that His love never fails.
That's the true meaning of Christmas. How meaningful. May this Christmas brings His immeasurable, indescribable, and infinite love to all mankind.
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on, our troubles will be miles away.
Here were are as in olden days,
happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
gather near to us once more.
Through the years we all will be together
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now.
By the way... i don't mind if a rich Santa Claus drops this beautiful gadget into my Christmas stockings...
The seductively slim Sony Cybershot T7. The black one is gorgeous.
The God of Love and Peace shall be with you. Always.
P.S.: This post sounds kinda sad coz the writer is sad herself.
Tis the season to be sick*cough cough*I was sick...since Saturday night. The day i came back from S'pore after spending one whole week there. Ugh. I guess i played too much. I guess i was too busy partying. My mum said i din drink enough water in S'pore. Maybe she's right. Ouch.
>.<
I hate being sick. I hate having sore throat. I hate having terrible sore throat. I hate having high fever. I hate having throbbing headaches. ARGH.
Sometimes... life isn't fair after all. This year-end period is supposedly the best time of the year, the most wonderful time of the year... and yet... i'm sick. Why? Why? Why?
*shows sulky face*I guess i've neglected my body for the last 2 weeks, which is bad. =( Anyhow, hopefully i'll be fully recovered before Christmas Eve. Pray for me, guys!!
*mumbling a prayer*I have to be fully recovered before Christmas Eve. I MUST!! I need to sing christmas carols during the midnight mass. i need to sing the hymns. i need to talk!!! i need to laugh!!! I need to feast!! I need to eat the roasted turkey!!
Ugh.
I've realized that i've not started on sending out the xmas cards this year yet. Yikes! >.< I'm gonna buy a pack of xmas cards today. I must. It's always a tradition for me to send xmas cards to my friends. Christmas isn't christmas when there's no christmas cards. You get the idea? =) It's nice to send and receive christmas cards. This is the true spirit of Christmas - to give and to receive Christmas blessings. =)
I'm dreaming of a white ChristmasWith every Christmas card I writeMay your days be merry and brightAnd may all your Christmases be white.Ahh....i simply love Christmas carols! But first of all, i gotta try my best to get back my voice.
Have a nice Tuesday!

We'll be going to Orchard at night (again. my 3rd time going to orchard in a row). Will be meeting up his cousin and his wife for dinner at the heeren (again). Heard that we'll be having dinner at Marche!! WOO HOO. I love that place too! XD
Damn it...i still feel so damn freaking tired right now. Been running up and down like a monkey in s'pore. that's why. =P Anyways, i'll just go enjoy myself later with him. hehe.
Holidays are invented by God for human beings to enjoy themselves to the fullest. Thus, holidays are only meant to be enjoyed. =)
Enjoy the holidays, people!
There goes my clubbing virginity...Yesterday was Wednesday, seemed to be a very ordinary day as usual...but it wasn't...
because...
*clears throat*it was
LADIES' NIGHT!!!! XD
LADIES' NIGHT at
CHINABLACK in S'pore. In other words, it's free entry for all ladies and free flow of housepour, juices and softdrinks. Yup, everything was F-O-C except for those cocktails and hard liquors.
Don't you just feel like shouting out 'WOW' after knowing about this?
Heh...
Anyways, my alcoholic friend, shen jean took me to ChinaBlack last night. She isn't an alcoholic, just kidding here. hahaha. =P 4 of us went...2 gals ( shen jean and me) and her other 2 guy friends she knew since her secondary school days. Both guys looked alike, me no kidding here! haha. We drank...and drank...and drank... talked...and talked..and talked... and we managed to play a round of pool!! WOO HOO! XD Of coz... we danced the night away!! I must say that... the atmosphere there was great... music was indeed loud enough to the extent that the i can feel the vibration caused by the LOUD music. My heart nearly came out. Good atmosphere i must say although that was just my first time going clubbing. XD Gonna try out other clubs in future...muahaha.
Oh yah, i bought a new pair of golden heels last night at far east plaza coz we din wear heels. One of the rules of clubbing is that ladies gotta wear heels... so yeah... since we were desperate to go in (coz ladies' night), we just bought the cheapest heels we can find. S$10!!!
Haha. What an experience man!
4 of us.
Me, Sam, and Shen Jean.
Me, Leonard and Shen Jean.
Me and Shen Jean. XD
Will post more pics in my next post. Stay tuned!!
WOO HOO.... going to NYDC for dinner tonite! Yay!!

i'm BACK!!!I'm finally back from Club Med Ria Bintan !! =)
I'm damn freaking tired. Did a lot of activities there. Had way TOO MUCH of food. Had A LOT of fun and laughter. Overall, it was a very enjoyable trip!
Hehe.
On a heavier note, a new discovery about myself :
I.AM.ALLERGIC.TO.ALCOHOL. Well... i drank a bit too much when i was at Club Med. That explains why i'm having rashes all over my body right now. >.<
Damn it... means i can't touch alcohol anymore. =(
*shows sulky facial expression*Alright, i think i gotta stop blogging now. I'm way TOO tired. I feel so old man. Anyways, will post some photos in my next post.
Tata.
Busy, busy, busy.This week's gonna be a busy week ahead for me. Below is my personal schedule from tuesday (tomorrow) until saturday. Take a look! hehe!
Tuesday...Going out to S'pore with SanSan. Meeting Siew Wern at McD Bugis in the morning after 11am. Gonna boogie all day long! Haha. Will be back home by 10pm hopefully.
*winks*Wednesday...Nothing much actually. Just that... i gotta go teach swimming either in the morning or in the afternoon/evening. >.< Kids nowadays are so damn freaking fortunate man. Anyway, the fees i'm charging are reasonable enough as i'm only a not-so-qualified swimming instructor. lol. I'm a private swimming instructor, mind you. And all middle-class families are able to afford it. Haha. =P
*I so need Vitamin M to spend*Thursday...Going to Club Med Bintan, Indonesia with my sis, her 2 s'porean frens, my bro and shen jean!!!!!! WOO HOO! Looking forward to this man. =D

There....my busy schedule from tuesday till saturday. Hehe. Can't wait to meet up with my 2 dahlings tomorrow. I really miss the way they laugh, the way they walk, the way they carry themselves, the way they eat, the way they shop, the way they talk, the way they dress, the way they crack a good/lame joke, and many other tiny little things. ONG SAN SAN and WONG SIEW WERN... I can't wait to see you guys tomorrow! =D
Don't think i've got the time to blog from tuesday till saturday. Will blog once i get the chance to do so. Hehe. I'm a
very, very busy woman even though i'm on holidays, mind you. XD I love being busy when i'm on holidays! haha.

XD My sis will be asking her frens to wear bikinis too! haha. Everyone will be wearing bikini!! WOO HOO! er.... except for my brother lar. =P He said he also wanna wear. LOL. >.<
Man...i'm getting excited while blogging about these things. =P
Guess it's time for me to sleep. gotta wake up by 8am tomorrow..so early!!
Nite nite! XD
P.S. : HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, YU CHII!!! You're finally 19! hahaha.
My Boo.Yup. Today was a happy day.
Why? One would ask me.
Well...the answer is simple. I finally met up with him today. *yay* Spent the whole afternoon in his house. Online.Played Yahoo Pool.Checked mail.Checked friendster.Watch a bit of movies.Had lunch.Peeled quail eggs.Etc.
Hey, i had fun okay!
*grins*I acted like a mad woman today. I acted as if i just came out from Permai Hospital or Tanjung Rambutan. >.< He said i'm crazy. And boy...that was so true! =P
He accepted my craziness today (i think). It's nice to have someone that loves you for who you are. And he did exactly the same thing to me. He loves me for who i am...He loves me even though i acted like a mad woman. He loves everything about me no matter how crazy i can be.
Well...who is he then?
He is Irwin. My boyfriend. My darling. My baby. The sweetest guy on earth. =) What else could i ask for right?
muacccks!
