A Season for Love...

I was just bumming around at home, when Linda's phone call jolted me away from my far away land of day dreams. She wanted to catch a movie, and i didn't mind catching one, there we go.
=)

* 45mins later *












We met up at the Cineleisure, and we decided to watch a korean flick called "A Season of Love".
It sounded so romantic, and the pictures looked so happy and gleeful.

The actresses all look so pretty...but only 2 actors look cute. Judging from the pictures above, guess which 2? Haha!

The movie was portrayed in the same style as this other movie called "Love Actually", With 8 characters/4 couples and we see a different story, and a different lesson to learn.

I shan't go too much into the movie plot, in case i start bawling all over again...
Well. we ended up crying alot towards the end of the show, and Linda cried alot more than me.

"To live is to love, so as to live no regrets....."

Definitely something that anyone who's been through a relationship could relate to.
Since no one warned us that the show is gonna require lots of tissue, neither of us actually brought tissues along. i ended up wiping all that tears onto my pants to dry my fingers. =~(
Kinda messy, but it sure beats looking streaky.

I grieved so much for the fireman that didn't managed to propose to his girlfriend. On the night of the planned proposal, He died, while he was on duty. In his last few moments, he located a survillance camera, and signed languaged "I love you" to girlfriend, before he died.
I cried like mad to that scene, it's just so tragic.

Another tear jerking scene that got me weeping throughout, was the bonding the boy between his cancer striken mom. How he understood her love for him (those unspoken thoughts), when he chanced upon her hidden diary, and how she fought her illness, and remained strong for him.

Despite all that sad soppy scenes, there's loads of humour injected throughout the scenes, so it definitely kept me alternating between laughter, and sobbing.


Yes i know, im all emotional and soppy now. But some girls are just suckers for soppy movies, and im no exceptional.

Movie Review, incase you're interested. But definitley not suitable for Valentines day..unless you fancy your girl sobbing into your best attire....

still sick..and now a druggie

im still sick after so many day, and im practically drowning with my phlegm.I swear that i get so disgusted at the weird noises that im making subconsciously, that i jolt myself awake again. It's so gross!!!

SO i really didn't manage to sleep much, and i've finally decided to pay the doctor a visit.Just looking at all the medicine, i already feel like a druggie.

2 mint green pills the size of Panadol for my fever and flu.
10ml of yucky syrup for phlegm
another 10ml for the cough,
2 slim pills the antibiotics
1 tiny pill for my sore throat.

that's a total of 5 pills and 4 spoonfuls of medicine.
It's horrid.I nearly puked after im done with my first "serving" of drugs,
and i was tearing when im done with all the syrup.

So disgusting!!!!!Hate being sick...and now i feel drugged.... sleepy sleepy

oh, oh and before i forget,
i saw fireworks for the third time, while we were passing by the esplanade area this CNY!
Boy, they're pretty!!! and im glad to see them again.

i shall rave on and on abt the pretty fireworks when im not so drowsy ya?
i can't believe it..there's sch tmr again.

zzzz.........
I miss boo boo

Sick again, with a whole stomach of phlegm!

Urgh..! im sick again!
It started out as a little cough..then it progressed on to become some serious phlegm problem, and what do you know next? I'm down with fever!
I died at home the entire day, with absolutley no sense of humour, or mood to do anything at all.

Just plain misery lying in bed, sitting up is worst, and having aching bones is the worst part of it.
All the phlegm injested into my system made me feel pukish, and if i ever had to throw up, i wouldnt be surprised that it's all gross and sticky oozing out of my system!

i think i caught all these nonsense from Da! Hmpf! it's all her fault!
but looking on the bright side, im back to talking and blogging again. it was so bad that i didn't even have the mood to eat my dinner, not mentioning to utter words of crap during dinner.
I sure hope that tomorrow's gonna be a better day. It's bad to be sick.

2nd time for this year, and it's only start of feb! *cough cough*

food, weight loss and partying.

I've been feeling way too lazy to blog recently.
Somehow, this CNY has kinda lost it's special festive flavour to me this year..but no doubt, i had my fair share of feasting and angpows.

From visiting around, to watching Jet Li's latest show the Fearless with my boo, to granny's one year death anniversary, and an early birthday pressie from Ben, and some shopping, that probably sums up my CNY.

Oh and there's Mambo @zouk yesterday!
My first Mambo for 2006. It's been more than a month since the last time i went for mambo.
With my very bad school schedule, it was impossible for me to actually attend Mambo, and get to school on time.
As the way it is, i'm already having problem getting myself to school in time without all that partying..... can u actually imagine what happens if i did party?
( all that new year resolution to be a better student is really getting to me..Haha!)

It also seem to me that wearing black has a special slimming effect on me. Coz the general comment that i heard when i stepped out of Chris's car, was about me losing some weight!
I thought Jo and the rest were kidding me, until i met Alex.
He too said the same thing. Hmmm and he doesn't know the others...
I'm thrilled to be looking like i've lost "weight"..
Haha, but in truth, there wasn't any weight loss involved, and im actually suspecting a weight gain lurking around instead.
Despite all that speculation, i refused to weigh myself! ( yes, yes..i'm in denial)
neither is Black is not going to be my favourite color....it's just so morbid a color for my liking.

We partied hard as usual, enjoyed ourselves as usual, not forgetting those random idiots who's always trying to push their way up to the platforms, half drunk and all. It's all part of the experience i guess...Blearh.

Post party note: Im aching all over now...and I feel like a slug...Argh...!

CNY CNY

Happy CNY Here's pretty pix!e dressed up in her pretty red ribbons, posing with a pair of mandarin orange! Haha


Dusty the hammie, posing with pix!e's ribbons just for laugh!

It's been a tiring day for me. Went to a total of 4 places, and im extremely well watered and fed! Ooh..
Went over to my Telok Blangah to visit grandpa (momsy's dad), where all my maternal relatives gather, to distribute the red packets, then went over to Seng Kang to visit my paternal grandad...where all paternal relatives meet, then there's grand aunts to visit after tt. I caught myself dozing in the car when travelling, and while i watching the telly during visitation... im rather sure that it's all the food that i've stuffed into my mouth, and the weather .

Rims!

Some stripey blue and white pictures of us just for looks, and it's up, coz it matches my new skin. This rim design that he fancies. Too bad the BBS rims doesn't fit his car.... but i think this rim design looks nice. Over the past 2 days of rim shopping, i'm rather proud to say that im officially able to boast about my little knowledge for rims. Hee hee hee!

CNY's approaching, yet i feel as excited as a dead fish. Hmpf.

presents & a one night stand.

Mr boo went to the workshop, and added more stuff into his prized sound system. So he was given a replacement car for the time being. While he was at it, i was shopping away somewhere around town area... When he was done with his stuff, he came over to pick me up!

I was supposed to meet him by the road side, then hop on, when he drives by.... unfortunately for me, with the bad human traffic and all, i had difficulties locating the place and getting there fast. i was running around the roadside, looking like a chicken that's lost it's head!!!

While i was running thru and fro with my mobile in hand, i was unable to locate the mazda!
It slipped my mind, in my moment of panic that he's not driving the mazda...and i kept ignoring this honking car (which happens to be my boo!)
Sigh...

I laughed, when i finally saw and got into the car, and laughed even harder after observing the interior. It's just soooo retro!

The car's vintage alright! But according to boo boo, you can see signs that the car was once the pride and joy of someone. It's well taken care of, if you take it's age and other factors into consideration.
With it's very "happening" alarm system (when it's locked & unlocked, it says viper armed and disarmed, alittle too soft for me to hear it clearly... yes i laughed again), the racing momo steering wheel, sports pedal,some interesting light that starts blinking, if you rev the engine up to a certain rpm, and the engine switches off by itself after you remove the key...blahblahblah.. not forgetting the "ah beng" lights in the boot!

Yes i am so tickled by it!
I had a go at driving the car too, since it's a manual. But having not been driving for a loooooonng time, i was alittle rusty! And i forgot how to park.
Yeah, so i satisfy myself by going around different carparks, and round and round and round. I refused to drive home myself. *smirk*
















My boo look so proud in here! This is his official "one night stand" car! The proton saga i think.

It's definitely one experience to remember! The vintage car and all...

For his mom's birthday, we celebrated for her, and had bufffet dinner at Hotel Rendevous, i ate about 15 herbal drunken prawns that night! It's the yummiest thing served in the entire buffet spread. Ho! ho! and the prawns are live and fresh!
They look so cute when they're swimming in the tank. Huge eyes that are placed so far apart!

As for the prezzie, We've got her the osim UZAP for her birthday, and guess what?
Her best friend's gotten her a UZAP as well. duH.. now we're stuck with 2. Amazing huh?

So if anyone's interested in getting a UZAP that's unused... ask me.. But price's not negotiable. Retail price should be $268.. if u're interested it's 10% off the R.P.(retail price).

sistas forever!

Sisters! This was taken during doreen's wedding dinner.




our naughty pose during the dinner.




It's been quite some time since we've attended Doreen's wedding, but it's only recently, that we've managed to lay our hands on some of the pictures!

well ...between Da and i, it's a love hate relationship that we share.
No matter how much i detest her at times, i do have to admit that we've got our share of good times, and most importantly, the bonding we can't deny. Thank you for being there for me, when i was at my lowest point in life. =)

hope

Decided on trying a new approach, that is "hope".
To look forward to, to trust, and to have confidence.

Hope everything would work out, as what i hope, but hope is misleading.

It will bring you there, but it'll also bring you down.
The higher your hopes, the harder you fall..

But without hope, life is nothing.

NUMB....

There! i've fallen.
And i dare say it's a mighty fall...that's gonna bleed for a long time.
Yet, no matter how brave im trying to be now, it hurts so badly that i've totally gone numb.

Definitely a huge scar..that scar fading cream ain't gonna help.
Time will heal...

Take the color test!

Daphne, your true color is Red!

Your color is red, the color of racy sportscars, blushing cheeks, and luscious roses.
Red symbolizes passion, romance, and love. So, since you're ruled by red, you probably trust your feelings more than your brain and tend to act spontaneously.
If you see something you want, you go for it without thinking twice — impulsive is your middle name.
You don't wait around for people to make decisions, either; you dive right in.
Quite the romantic, you pay close attention to your emotions.
In fact, if your heart isn't in what you're doing, you won't be satisfied. Of course, even when you do pour all your energy into the projects you tackle, your impetuous nature means your passions can shift as frequently as the wind. That's why some reds have trouble with commitment.
Our advice? Next time you're feeling fickle, think before you act, if possible. You might be surprised at the results. Overall, though, it's great to be red. No one lives life more completely than you do.'

oooh! a perk me up!

I'm such a happy girl today!!! Guess why?

I received a surprise pressie from boo boo today!
a series of mixed emotions ran through me.. from being surprised and excited, to beamingly pleased, to absolutely touched and i started bawling and muttering incoherent words at the same time.

I guess it's because i wasn't expecting a surprise present to be popping up infront of my eyes, while we were paying the car mechanics a visit, to fix on his recent purchased front grills for his little grey car!

Yep yep. I can be a little mad at times, but so what?! Haha!

Thank you baby, for my wonderful little present. I love it! *beam beam*

dusty

My sleep was disturbed by a bout of nose irritation, so i decided that my room's really dusty. I got up, marched out to get the vacuum cleaner, and started cleaning every nooky corner of my room! Grr! Gawd! How did i survive with all that dust in the corners of my room? Clumps of dust everywhere!

I started clearing stuff away, feeding the vacuum with lots and lots dust...gave me some joy, knowing that my room's cleaner now. I got alittle too carried away, and i climbed all over with the vacuum, dragging the wires and all, to clear out the dust trapped in the shelves, the aircon, behind the shelves, under my wardrobe, along the grills of my sliding door blah blah... it's rather addictive, i must say...

I went back to sleep shortly, after being done with the vacuum fun. Haha!
Mommy was mortified! Coz she never quite mastered the art of sleeping as and when you please. Unlike daddy, Da and i.

Im glad i inheirited the daddy sleeping genes.. or i'll have even bigger panda eyes problems!

Speaking of sleeping... some days back, i went to nap after dinner, and mommy was looking for me. She stepped into my room, and didnt realise that i was actually sleeping...hidden under my huge pile of pillows and blanket...obscuring her view of her missing daughter, and concluded that i was out.

(I have this habit of sleeping with the fan on, when im napping, coz it provides me with ventilation..but it's also my bad habit to walk out of home with the fan still running..)
While mommy was still lounging in my room hunting for Daphne, she was like "aiyah..that girl forget to switch off the fan again!"

Guess what? Dear mommy climbed onto my bed to reach out for my fan(with me hidden under the blankets and pillow).
She actually crawled on me!
Being flattend, i was awoken, and responded by saying "what are you doing?" It gave mommy a fright, and she kinda fell and jumped off my bed at the same time.

I thought the entire episode was rather hilarious. I couldnt stop laughing for days...
My Silly mommy! adorable huh?

Etsy Etsy

Cute little handmade felt purse















Colorful funky granny woolie bag


















deliciously pretty woolly basket.











I've been doing alot of online browsing recently and i so fell in love with the stuff that Etsy has to offer.
the fact that everything's handmade by the sellers, made it soooo facinating for me!

You wont believe how cute and creative these people can be... putting me to shame..Tsk tsk tsk.

Problem is, no matter how pretty the stuff are, i'll have to pay tons for the shipping, and i absolutely refuse to pay that much for shipping these cutesy stuff over! Bah!!

But i'm definitely inspired to start on my own little artsy project, whenever i lay my eyes on these gorgeous candied looking stuff! Gawd! im so tempted to ship everything over!!!!! (someone please stop me!)

On a less dream away note, im going to watch Narnia later. (i know im kinda slow in catching up with movies, but im a busy person k!)
hahah!

Mommy's off to Bang Kok, and once again, i'll have to play Big Bad Sista this weekend. Luckily there's Daddy to do most of the nagging and scolding and brother sitting. Woo Hoo!

There's also Council Recruitment that i'll have to worry about. It's getting tougher and tougher each year to recruit, and i'm beginning to get bored doing the same thing over and over again....

Or is it my lack of enthusiasm that's causing the recruitment numbers to drop drastically over the semesters? That, i'll have no clue, til someone tells me..

kitty ramblings

This pretty black white kitty kat that i spotted some days ago.
Just look at the way she was staring at me...
I guess she must be thinking what a nut i was.
But i simply couldn't resist snapping a picture of her!

Well, and to add on to picture snapping frenzy, i was practically molesting her! She's such a darling to have around! If only mommy would allow me to keep kitty kats again! =(


I miss my mao mi!


My princess! I miss her so much, Boo hoo!
Imagine, she was part of my life for 10 years! =(

*i've got this fetish for black white kats after my precious kitty's gone..*

Oh well...

Wish List

Par Avion Clutch in fuschia













Par Avion Clutch in brown














Ohh don't you think it looks fabulously cute?
Sigh..and they cost $45 bucks. If i wasn't so broke, i'll have bought it without much thoughts. But for a little clutch, $45 seems to be alittle steep for me now.
I'll need to get a job soon! Urgh!

psst! anyone interested in sponsoring me?? I'll treat it as an early birthday present? =D i like the fushia one better!

School school..

I can't believe it!My new school term officially starts tomorrow, and i haven't gotten enough of my holidays yet!
Where has my holidays gone? What have i done?
Boo!

I do hope that i'd be able to sleep well tonight, as i dont really fancy lying wide awake in bed, til the sun rises....
Ooh how i hate changing my sleeping patterns..
But what choice do i have? I gotta start picking up speed to prepare myself for all that "nonsense" that everyone's been telling me about. Haha!

Oh! Dont you think the felt flowers are just so pretty? I love the colors! ho! ho! ho!

City of Daphne!

urgh! Once again, i seem to have screwed up my sleeping patterns. Im wide awake at 9am in the morning. How gross can this be?

Anyways, i've discovered some interesting facts, while im suffering from insomia..haha!
Do you know that there's a city called Daphne?
Daphne is allocated somewhere near Baldwin county, Alabama blah blah.. Cool huh?

but the little town looks rather boring to me.... Bah!
But what's the chance of you finding a town that shares the same name as you?
Hee! hee! hee!

Tried loading up some pictures from the site, but the pictures are in "bit" format..and im too lazy to convert them into jpeg (despite the fact that i've got nothing better else to do...)

In case you're intersted, here's the link for you to look see....

Enjoy!! *wink*

The old's gone, and comes the new. I hope the new year, would be much, much better than the old, and since it's supposed to be better, it's only right that i lay a few rules to better myself.

Here's my New Year Resolution for 2006 *drum rolls*
1) Treat myself better, meaning to sleep well, eat well, rest well, stay happy, and be healthy.

2) Next, would be to control my temper... Sure i have a temper that's comparable to a dragon in the medival times, and i know it, so here we go...control the temper, not to be controlled by the temper. Ha!

3) Be friendlier, and start socialising more.... i know that i can be such a snob at times, but i can be such a sweetie too, if i want to.. *grossed out*

4) Weed out my lazy bones, and start working alittle harder. I reckon that all those unnecessary failing was due to my lack of attendance in school.. (this, i foresee, requires lots of effort) *shakes head*

5) To shower my litte pix!e wiggie with more attention, love, food, and treats, coz i think she's been alittle neglected recently. (Oh the poor pig)

6) To have a little exercise regime, coz i'm getting flabby. ( It's partially due to boo's good job in fattening me up, and a greedy little daphne that gobbles tasty food) So i'll probably have to dance more, shop more, and swim more. Haha!

That's about all the major resolutions that i have, since resolution number 1 says, to treat myself better, *smiles* therefore, laying down too much rules for myself is bad, and i probably won't even be able to remember them all.

6 is definitely achievable, and practical. yikes!
------------------------------------------------
My last movie of the old year, would be: Wallace & Gromit in the curse of the were-rabbit.
It's definitely something worth watching, coz it's rather funny and the rabbits are just so cute, especially when they are floating around throughout the entire movie.
i'll rate it at 3.5/5 personally, for it's cute animation, and it's dumb storyline.
Besides, it took the Wallace Gromit people 5 years to create this movie! *horrors*
Imagine...5 years of hard work. I'd be allergic to Wallace and Gromit if i were them!!


Gromit with the naughty bunnies hiding in the fridge....








Introducing to you...Lady Tottington!
isn't she cute? I'm rather tickled by her "awesome" hairstyle, the "luscious lips", and not forgetting, her teeth! (Cute overbites she has, so humongous and bunny like)
