too much to bear

at 6.22am, i'm still fully awake.

i need to remove my makeup and get some sleep before the sun comes out.

i know my mind is still super alert.

it was a chaotic night.

so eventful i wished more bubblies were coursing through my veins right now.

but kenneth is right.

i couldnt let myself go because of a phobia.

damn i miss my best buddy, cia.

don't you ♥ MUSEUMS?

because i definitely do.

as do law.

and cia.

we all ♥ museums!

poptart

i'm feeling crazily sleepy. this chilly weather helps.

i'm already typing with my eyes half closed.

i went back to brown. everyone seems to like this more than the blonde. myself included.

i'm spending more time widening my social circle. not on purpose. yet i have friends who are ready to stop at his current social circle. cos of laziness. i say amen to that.

saturday was quite the stupendous night. i haven't had such mindless fun in a long while. i'm glad to be exposed to genuinely great people.

i have cultivated the interest for many amazing things. i only need money and time to do it.

i don't mean to ramble but this has been a great week and i hope to pen it down before everything slips away...

anyway, Poptart was a blast. and michelle was a total sweetheart to wait out the bladder urges with me.

so g'night world. it's time for rest!

an afternoon nap and heaps of shoes

short of being sick, i've been very tired and restless lately.

i wasn't online much at all. instead, i took a nap. i still feel like crap so i went about my business when i awoke - dinner, poring through magazine, surfing TV channels (The Devil Wears Prada), and suddenly decided that i've way too many shoes so i took the liberty of spring cleaning for the ladies of the family.

i love throwing stuff away, it's cleansing and therapeutic. very.

my heels collection just expanded so i had to make space for them. all in all, i binned approximately 20 heels, 10 flats, 5 or more sneakers and many many many shoe boxes.

not bad for a shoe rack cleansing.

psyched up!

after completing The Host - written by Twilight author -, i knew it'd be a good lucrative business for the movie industry and was secretly hanging on to the hope that someone would see the quirky story as a potential new flick.

this book got me hooked straight up. Twilight was good but this is seriously way better for me.

and i was right, the book is on its way to the big screen.

so so so exciting.

unusual saturday

i'm thoroughly spent.

boy am i glad i dragged myself out of bed this morning. everything started right.

given, i actually rolled out of bed late but i managed to time everything down to perfection.

made a few planned trips to the far east of the island. ponggol clinic, check. spend time with dear people, check. sofaman with amanda, check.

gotta say i did things i usually wouldn't do. been to places i typically wouldn't frequent. if i have to explore my vocabulary for a single word to describe my day, it would have to be unbeatable.

i also bumped into Joel, my favourite special kid from the good old days of special education. i couldn't stop marvelling at his little antics that i used to adore. he didn't see me though i wished he could have. truth was, i was rushing to be on time as the clinic's closing. back at the school, it was love at first sight with this kid and i've often wondered how he's been.

he's the cutest thing i've ever seen, and i've seen a lot. for professional reasons, i can't post his pictures. but hopefully one day, i can!

also, i saw a former primary school friend at the clinic! i promptly shared with rox and surprisingly had her tell me about her chance encounter with her previous secondary school mate as well as her uncle's encounter with a really old school friend. what an amazing place for chance encounters, really! i am so impressed.

sick

i feel like barfing. i'm nursing a migraine. my stomach is in pain.

i took the day off to rest in and tomorrow doesn't seem like a good work day despite marking end of the work week.

i have so many backlogs to clear.

a nice long rest is overdue.

an elapsed mantra

Until you wait for the right time, things will be a standstill.

There is no right time.

Strike while the iron is hot.

Strike or get strike.

Just do it.

Once in hesitation, time has slipped on by.

You lose the momentum.

Be spontaneous.

Get inspired.

You will be rewarded.

dehydrated and very hungry

fact was, i got home not very long ago from a movie and supper.

we caught The Sister's Keeper and left with glassy eyes. it was a heartbreaking movie filmed from great vantage points. i was sure i would get the poignant novel someday in the near future.

supper was actually dinner for me. i had veggie broth at spize. as usual, service was non-existent and that overrated place overcharged again but fortunately we double checked. as a prata place, the broth wasn't great but when ter asked if i'd have it again, i told him i would under the circumstances that i'm feeling sick (again).

i'm still feeling rather stoned from the drunkened weekend and am vegetating with a bag of chips.

in other news, i've been meaning to post these up but timing was a bitch.

prawning, oh prawning. good times, great catches. with sweet ole katt.


frolicked


preparing the bait for my rod


we sat, we stood, we waited. we talked. a lot.


our friends opposite


plenty patience yes


katt got the biggest catch


this was taken well over the 6th hour


the guys cleaning and prepping for the bbq

we must have caught like 30-40 prawns

it was a good first experience but 10 hours was a bit of a stretch but still good nonetheless. and to experience it with katt dear was priceless. :)

halloween was pretty insane. i'm awaiting pictures from eug. for the millionth time, i'm still afraid of the pictures that are coming up. i've a feeling i wouldn't remember most of it.

"i know you were drunk. you were talking to this bunch of people from the next table. i can't bear to watch." - quoted from eug.
