` you me
you confuse me .
you don't care .
you don't have the strength .
neither have I .
life has to go on, with or without you.
we'll survive this, ride the storm.
Together or not, let fate decide .

I doubt anyone would actually read this blog because this isn't my ... "official" blog that I suppose i'm supposed to update. Even my best friends don't know about this. haha.
Expect nothing. Live frugally on surprise.
It's hard not to expect anything at all when we embark on a journey or anything, for that matter, in life. It sucks that the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.
Surprise on the other hand, is a different situation. It really depends what it is we call "surprise".
When you're invited to a party that was organised for you and you see people you care forand not there. That's one. Sometimes, we pretend to be surprised even though we're pretty aware that everyone's being weird around us and we're just waiting for that one moment where they spring up on us. That's another.
Then there's the "surprise" when someone/people go the extra mile for you when you least expect it. (thanks mom and dad for the water bag! I love you both)
There's the present-opening-time and you open all sorts of funky stuff that you like/dislike, want or not, need or not.
Long story short, I love surprises. They plaster the smile on my face and give me the strength to go on.
On a random note,
1: Ah! I was so mad at him! I thought he was perfect! Until I saw him in the car..
2: Haha. It's okay. I get irritated by terrible drivers too!
1: You don't get it! I'd rather someone horned at me than stare at me with fiery eyes.
2: Yeah that's true. *shivers
1: It was a frigging boulder but i tried to make it a pebble!
2: No one's perfect. Its. 60% good & 40% bad or 95% good 5% bad. I think you've got the latter so suck it up!
1: Yeah. Anyway, the waterworks helped. =)
2: It always does. It's not that we cry on purpose. It just comes but we make it a bit more dramatic.
*laughs.
In my life, there are four kinds of people.
runaways
They SMS/IM: about how they feel about this or that, what they should do or whatnot.
i.e. Tries to sort out a misunderstanding.
In Reality/face2face: They don't do anything about it, act like nothing's going on or nothing's wrong.
i-have-yet-to-name-this-species
They SMS/IM: very little about what they feel, barely try to address the problems, its always too long to type.
In Reality/face2face: Bloody hell, they sit you down and force it (the problem) out of you, literally. Sometimes they come on too hard.
the in-betweens
I suppose its pretty normal to be sitting on the fence and weighing the pros and cons.
the suckers
Who just avoids any sort of confrontation on sorting out.
Just last week, I made a bet with this friend of mine. This bet was if a certain someone turned up at the party, i'd have to pay her 10 ringgit. But knowing that certain someone well enough to know that he/she'd chicken out, obviously I won the 10 ringgit. It wasn't about the money. It was the fact that the certain someone proved me right. Thanks.
Another random moment,
1: What you eating?
2: I don't know..
3: Go ask for kuey teow sup kering.
1 & 2: *WTH?
2: Hi aunty, saya mau makan kuey teow sup kering.
4: Lu mau kuey teow hitam keling?
- the end -
That wasn't in any way to disrespect my fellow countrymen. It was just that the lady couldn't pronounce the "r" and it sounded like "l". It was her genuine mistake and i'm sure she didn't know what it meant. =_='
Sometimes when things go wrong, you try to fix them.
When there is a long wait in between, the phase when I still wanted things right again has come to pass. Thus, resulting to the phrase carpe diem.
Someone I once knew told me "Friends come and go. They are passing ships". Because of you, I said "No". I set my foot down. Then I realised my mistake. My mistake of trusting and believing that you'd still be by my side, regardless. Guess I believed wrong. Then again, I believe wrong alot.
Now you waltz back into my life and try to make things right? After all the months of sleepless nights? If only life were that simple.
If only I could turn back time, you said.
If only I knew it back then.
If only I set my priorities right.
If only I didn't mess it all up.
The list of If only's can go on forever. Carpe diem. Seize the day. Seize the moment.
I'm trying to live life this way. I want to love life. How can we love if we don't love ourselves?
When we look in the mirror, who or what do we see?
I want to look back in life, five years from today and know that I don't regret anything I did. That I learnt something from everything i've done and been through.
You once told me that life never gets so bad it can't get worse.
Do you remember? I do...
I think life is as much as we make of it. Half empty, or half full.
For you,
God, please grant me the courage and perseverance to unravel the mysteries and wonders of life. Help me realise my purpose here. Forgive me for all else.

For you,
I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken -- and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have.Margaret Mitchell
Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.

Happy Birthday Mikey!
what a way to kickstart CNY.
mani n pedicures! =)
toodles my loves!
rushing and racing and running in circles
moving so fast I'm forgetting my purpose
blur of the traffic is sending me spinning
getting nowhere
my head and my heart are colliding chaotic
pace of the world I just wish I could stop it
Try to appear like I've got it together
I'm falling apart
save me, somebody take my hand and lead me
slow me down, don't let love pass me by
just show me how, cause I'm ready to fall
slow me down, don't let melive a lie
before my life flies by, I need you to slow me down
sometimes I fear that I might disappear
in the blur of fast forward I falter again, forgetting to breathe
I need to sleep, I'm getting nowhere
all that I've missed I see in the reflection
pass me while I wasn't paying attention
tired of rushing, racing and running, I'm falling apart
the noise of the world is getting me caught up
chasing the clock and i wish i could stop it
just need to breathe, somebody please , slow me down

` yellow ribbon & marriage!
We live in a country where "democracy" is individually interpreted. Enough said.
2nd Sunday in February
February 10, 2008
World Marriage Day.
they gave away free cupcakes in blue and pink to all the married couples. They looked slightly adorable, but ew, it didn't taste one bit good. *shrugs*
After that, we went back to Marc's place to prepare for Mikey's surprise birthday partayyyy!
It was this poolside blast thing. Ellie, Andrea, Laura and I were well, busy talking about.. waterfalls and water-dont-falls. *rolls eyes* Later, the four of us had to go off to Tmn Tun to get 8 pizzas for everyone. God bless, never put four girls in one car, with money. Better still, never let Ellie drive. Lol. *u-turn, u-turn, u-turn*
The next day, I was supposed to go for Siao's Surprise Birthday Party at the C. Club, Pavilion. This C. Club is a branch from the CARAT CLUB. Yeah. I know. But, I couldn't go that nite cos I was all hip n happening pimpin my friggin room. I'll get to that later. STEPHEN CHOW WAS THEREEEE! I should've went! :( So I msg the dude that night to apologise for not coming, and I wished him too. Turns out, all he could say to me was "Wah! what sorry! even the ** *** chai came! You ar..." heeee. You know deep down in my heart SOMEWHERE, i think there's a LIL bit of me lovin you and your sarcasm. =)
MNG should be like.. Shut down.
1. They sell so many of that "mnG & you", "mng loves u", "mng jeans" and whatnot, it has no value and... yuck.
2. The frigging A-holes display nicey wicey tops in the front of the shop, when you go in and look for it, its not there. When you ask the workers there? "oh sorry. That one only for display. We don't sell wan" *in a china apoh tone* *rolls eyes.* geez.
Wah. The night before CNY, literally everyone around my housing area seemed to be popping fireworks from 11pm-2am!!!
Its either
1. Fireworks are free
2. Everyone's suddenly dripping in cash
But oh well, i'm not complaining. Fireworks are prolly the only pollution I condone to.
CNY eve and Bollywood "Valentine" movies? haha.
Anyways, Happy Chinese New Year

` going green!
Last week, daddy went to Sabah to visit my uncle. Since he wasn't here, I got to drive the Land Rover and be the ultimate terror on the road. In case I nearly bumped into any of YOU? wakakaka. My apologies.. =...=
Yesterday we had practice for a drama and I kinda banged into Patrick and now my hand cacat already. I think i sorta twisted my bardy left elbow or sth. I feel like a retard! I mean.. Drive car also like super tough. Cannot steer the steering wheel with TWO hands.not like i've ever used two hands anyways. yeah. Well, not like any of the guys would second the fact that i was never cacat to start with. *rolls eyes* Oh we had yummy nasi lemak this morning, at SS5.
Marck, Mikey, Rachel n I had nasi lemak. The champion a.k.a Joshua, ordered "roti planta" but got toasted bread with planta. Irritated and hungry, he insisted for his ROTI CANAI WITH PLANTA. When we finished eating, his "roti" FINALLY CAME. It was roti canai biasa. *waddaheck?>?!@?#R$TG i know. LOL
Anyways, in my last post, forgot to update that last minute, i made it for Kevin's surprise party at Bukit Kiara. Fine. Not in time to yell "surprise!" or to sing "happy birthday to youuuu!!" but in time to show my face and personally greet him. wahaha. so yeah. Happy belated birthday to this kid who's about to tour the world and leave us here in dumpy-land for a few months. Thanks man! Leave your Fender behind toooooo? *sweet pleasing face. LOL.
Oh and I can finally tie my hair!!!! wheeeeee.
Hmmm.. My room's underslight renovation. So, I moved into my mama n papa's room to stay. Omgosh you have no idea how challenging it is to sleep there (on a single mattress, i mean). I'm no spoilt. I just need space. I'm not tiny and thats a fact. Wait la. when I upload my pics next, you will see the difference between my OWN bed and the temporary mattress i have to bear with. Don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining! I absolutely love sleeping with my parents. The fact that I can't sleep in my room's good cos i get an excuse to move in with them and then they can't chase me out of theirs! weehheeeee.. i'm not a baby
Did I mention i was going green? Literally. My room's gna be green. Woohoooooo!
*kiss kiss*
I'm so happy and green-fied.
