http://www.emilystrange.com/beware/buyordie.cfm?i=5586

dont know if its out in singapore yet or not though
but it'd cost about SGD$70

okay so anyway, tanya and i busted our feet today walking walking walking down orchard road today
but it was fun
the matching rings (so totally lovers lah)
the giggles and the semi unsuccessful shopping

again, soon. yes?
=)

well, in the morning i met aisyah and nurul at bedok macdonalds for breakfast
its been awhile
i remember when our hangout sessions used to be daily
back in secondary school of course
oh well.

then, we headed to SAC and realised how old we're getting
the noise of the hooligans was just too much for us old ladies to deal with
haha
but we managed to catch up a bit with miss kang, so yeah
goodgood.
was good to catch up with the two girls as well
and nurul drove us around!
okay not literally drove us around but gave us a lift to marina sq (and aisyah to work)
so YAY
exciting
but she's a bit of an aggressive driver
haha
but it was fun

okay so that was my day

WORK TMRW

with 3/4 of my favourite saturday bunch.

TA!

happy september!

mere days left of work.

major ice cream cravings.

emo songs.

=)

and well, i have a feeling i wont make saturday my last day of work

for now, i should jump into bed
(okay, im already IN bed but ANYWAY)

goodnight, world.

p.s. hey look, its almost september.how time flies. christmas (jinge bells, jingle bells) in 3 months ++ time. =)

the question that sometimes drives me hazy, am I or the others crazy?

Stay and watch the stars come out
and then the sun as they all fade away
I'll sing you every song I know if it will make you want to stay
And then i'll say
That I missed you
And these words
They'll convince you, to stay
I poured through every song I wrote
Every line that I've cried every note that was split with this pen
And every line in every song,
they all seemed to come out wrong,
Untill your song

well
i had a good day today with miss tanya beins
attempting to study but making use of our artistic skills instead
=)

OB battle tmrw

i felt awful and my nose was totally clogged.

you know ive realised where i get the "weird" side of me from my parents!
mummy: they all fought to carry my bags but i gave them to your daddy.
daddy: ya, while she went out with the rest.
mummy: YA but in the end i ended up with you!
me: because you had all her bags.

what a funny conversation.

i feel so lethargic
i whined alot today
sorry to everyone who i whined to
haha

ok bye

#1. painting

#2. cupcakes.

And I'll be here by the ocean
Just waiting for proof that there's sunsets and silhouette dreams
All my sand castles fall like the ashes of cigarettes
And every waves drags me to sea
I could stand here for hours
Just to ask God the question,
"Is everyone here make-believe?"
With a tear in His voice,
He said, "Son, that's the question."
Does this deafening silence mean nothing to no one but me?


oh i couldnt help myself
i fell to the strong powers of online shopping and spent 29 bucks.
daymn.

im still trying hard to save/earn as much as i can though
there's still hope for a holiday
(i think?)

i think alot of my entries have been about this "holiday" thing
bleh

so anyways, daddy brought me lunch at work today

hooray, well done melissa on the choice of industry to join
fabbbbulous.

okay so im damn tired
Gdnight.

You Be The Anchor That Keeps My Feet On The Ground, I'll Be The Wings That Keep Your Heart In The Clouds

Everything seems perfectly normal, and yet, during those thirty minutes, 3000 people would have died and 6200 would have just seen the light of the world for the first time...

.. How strange. A simple statistic, which i hapenned to read, and suddenly im aware ofall those deaths and entrances, those smiles and tears. How many of them are leaving this life while alone in their rooms, with no one realizing what's happening? How many will be born in secret and then abandoned outside a children's home or a convent?

I think to myself that i was once part of the birth statistic and will, one day, be included amongst the numbers of dead. It is good to be aware that i will die...

.. people do not think very much about death. They spend their lives worrying about absurdities, they put things off, and fail to notice important moments. They dont take risks, because they think it's dangerous. They complain alot but are afraid to take action. They want everything to change but they themselves refuse to change.

If they thought more about death, they would never forget to make that much postponed phone call. They would be a little crazier. They would not be afraid of this incarnation coming to an end, because you cannot fear something that is going to happen anyway.

yeah, death.

okay i shant go on anymore about death in the fears of sounding a little morbid.
but anyway, i had a good day
managed to sell some junk
okay, some not so junk-y stuff too
made a bit of money
all going to my holiday fund.

yippee.
i see a tiring week ahead for me
tons and tons of work
5 or 6 days.
wow.

and on that note, i decide, i should go to bed BEFORE 2 tonight.

so here i go.

so, i spent friday night dining at new york new york
food was preeetty good.
and id have had some candy floss
but it wasnt pink.

pickypicky melissa.
=)

so after dinner,
clement and i spent at least half an hour trying to figure out an equation
after spotting a snapple bottle cap stating -
"on average, a human being will spend 2 weeks kissing in his/her life"

so, we took the average human lifespan to be 70 years
and tried to calculate how many minutes/seconds a day people kiss on the average
yeah, we almost killed our precious brains
haha
0.789minutes is the answer we got (with some help!)

and thats pathetic.
everyone should kiss more, really!
so anyway, i had a good friday
=)

and saturday, i spent WORKING
and chilling at home, watching RENT and old episodes of friends.
oh so good.


Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you for the company.
greatly appreciated
=)

im watching RENT.
it's damn (x239210839834092830948209384092830842093840) good.
damn good.
really.
damn, i love musicals.
(yes, high school musical's included in that category!)
haha

so anyways,
my national day was spent at home
with the family
oh its been awhile since i just did nothing
chilled.
relaxed.
so good.

so anyway, next week's the last week of school.
oh bliss.
after that, attachment till january

and BYEBYE poly
=)
okbye




the only thing to do is jump over the moon.

wow. i have three hundred posts in my blog!

okay on another note,

BANGKOK, Thailand - Thai police officers who break rules will be forced to wear hot pink armbands featuring "Hello Kitty," the Japanese icon of cute, as a mark of shame, a senior officer said Monday

here's the rest of it-
so funny.
enjoy.

time to continue my reflections.

Daily Horoscope for 6 August-

It's a great night to host a dinner party, or any other intimate gathering. Your talent for hosting is running strong now, and people ought to gravitate toward your easy charm. Keep the pace steady.

Confidence and you have a very interesting relationship right now. On the whole, you're in a very confident phase in your life. Not much intimidates you. But there is one person who does -- and when you're around them you often crawl into a shy shell to avoid interacting with them. Today, that retreating behavior has to stop. Due to circumstances beyond your control, you'll have to come out of that shell -- and you'll be much better off for having done so.

and freeezing our butts off.

so HMPH.
you better make up with me before monday, missy
hehe

okayokay i love everybody.
gdnight!

here's my bright idea, ill just disappear

Once when i and my wife were travelling, i received a fax from my secretary.
"theres one glass brick missing for the work on the kitchen renovation" she said. "im sending you the original plan as well as the plan the builder has come up with to compensate for it"

On the one hand, there was the design my wife had made: harmonious lines of bricks with an opening for ventialtion. On the other, there was the plan drawn up to resolve the problem of the missing brick: a real jigsaw puzzle in which the glass squares were arranged in a higgledy-piggledy fashion that defied asthetics.

"Just buy another brick" wrote my wife. And so they did, and thus stuck to the original design.

That afternoon, i thought for a long time about what had happened; how often, for the lack of one brick, we completely distort the original plan of our lives.

okay
well today, i got nagged by and old chinese lady for listening to my music
and not being aware of my surroundings
i was 2 hours late for work because i overslept (what a hafiz thing to do)
and i found glass in my pasta at pasta de waraku
(yes japanese pasta. HOW INTERESTING *cough)
