December 2010
story of a girl
I’m quite hurt right now but I refuse to be melodramatic about this. I just thought that we were over trust issues. I’m upset but not angry, and if it was a miscommunication (like the time I set was unclear over the phone or you thought our appointment was cancelled) I’m sincerely sorry. If I was the one who unwittingly stood you up, my apologies. I just want to know why you were...
meaningful occupation
Okay, so this is my reflection post on the year 2010 — which is ending in 3 days but I won’t have as much time to write it or be in a more appropriate mood than now. I wouldn’t say that the year was goddamn awful, although it certainly was challenging. I’d like to believe that I more than survived it and emerged a stronger, wiser and ultimately better person because I think...
to dye or not to dye
Day 16: another picture of yourself. Why do you want so many pictures of me?
Day 17: someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why. I’d prefer to rewind time and start over again. But I can’t and you wouldn’t know who I want to swap lives with even if I said it.
I am not having much luck with typewriter hunting but I will make it in time and accomplish a host...
perennial problem
One of the nights when I wish I had alcohol. Don’t you understand, you can’t be loved until you learn to love yourself.
i am a talentless freak
I want to krai cuz my attempt at crêpe failed. I mean, it’s edible but hideous. My mum and sis were unusually encouraging about it, saying ‘it looks decent’, ‘the sour cream smells nice’ and my mum even volunteered an anecdote on her fried rice failure at first. I am so, so sad. What if I can’t ever cook? I mean it’s not a problem cuz there’re so...
as defined in negatives
My FB folks will probbly be wondering whazzup with my tumblr spam but I just had this brainchild so don’t argue with inspiration. It seldom strikes twice! I will be writing a reflection post on 31st Dec (aiming to) so blogging my New Year resolution entry now will be simply shuffling plans. Instead of the usual saying ‘I will…’, I decided that - in alignment with my...
the price of procrastination
It’s 11 and I’ve to wake up early tmr for breakfast with family and grocery shopping (this time with added purchases aka ingredients for my attempt at smoked salmon and rocket egg crêpe!) so no time for a movie ): and I’ve been putting off this challenge for God knows how long so might as well cram some now. If 11th December is Day 1, means today is Day 15 D: bite the bullet,...
not strong enough to love anyone
I woke up super late and now I’m not in the mood to do anything, much less go out. Hmpf :x all I want to do is watch movies and read. And if I had a X’mas wish, all I want is superb A Level results and not feel bad that I didn’t wish for peace on Earth.
Damn, I’m not feeling X’massy at all ): I’m scared that I will burst into tears in one of my melancholic...
bz bz bumblebee
I’m sorry for not having been blogging for days on end. My present lifestyle consists working in the day and going out at night and by the time I get home, I’m maxed out. I’ve been meeting various people in the course of the week, it’s great catching up with them. I hope I’ll still be going out so much (ok, maybe a little less for time by myself) in 2011. I’m...
keep this dream alive
I want to celebrate my 19th birthday in Tokyo Disneyland. Mummy, Daddy, Athena — please? I think everyone’s gonna be preoccupied with their lives next May (the guys have NS and the girls jobs) so I don’t expect and don’t want to impose on people to plan celebrations — j’accepte presents still tho hehe! ^^ for once, I don’t want to turn a year older in...
don't judge a book by its movie
I’m a happy girl tonight because I watched 2 movies in a day, after returning home from cycling+lunch with Louise. Glad I napped on the bus cuz I wouldn’t be able to find the energy otherwise. I watched Marie Antoinette and Coco before Chanel so now I want to borrow a copy of their biographies if possible. They’re both interesting, strong women in their own rights and I really...
i don't want to miss a single thing you do
Day 8: short-term goals for this month and why. OMG WHY THIS?! I’m not setting targets for my holidays. I’m the kind of person who doesn’t believe in To Do Lists (DO NOT BUY ME TO DO LISTS FOR X’MAS!!!) because I know they can NEVER be accomplished because one will never stop finding new stuff to do. I’m very lepak, I just wait until the thing has blown over in...
crazy frog and chipmunks MUST die
Day 7: a picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you. I cannot find you a picture of music. This question had me stumped initially cuz I couldn’t think of anyone/anything that has an indelible influence on my psyche. I don’t think it’s very easy to change me radically (although you’re certainly welcome to try) not because I resist but I’m quite...
i'll come to your rescue and you can't rescue me
Day 6: favorite superhero and why. The award goes obviously to Bionic Woman, who was my namesake. My parents named me after her for the spirit she embodies as the Million Dollar Woman but they got the spelling wrong so don’t look for them if you’re searching for Spelling Bee participants. There’s no cartoon made of her and only TV serials but I don’t really like the modern...
i must not procrastinate on this challenge
Day 5: a picture of somewhere you’ve been to. I would say St Emilion but I think Bordeaux (they’re both in France) would be more relevant, for many reasons.
I believe this is at the heart of Rue St.Catherine. The picture just ellicits a rush of memories; I remember the tram (clean and efficient) rounding the parade square of rioters, the smoky pubs and the quaint cafés. Sure there...

financial independence feels really good!
I’m back to work, this time with some permanence — or just long-term. Nothing’s really changed since I left to start school, landscape-wise. The office has shifted to another block near Phy Ed so it’s by the pool and other facilities, which I’m not sure if I’m entitled to use since I’m a temp. Even if I wanted to be adventurous and pick up squash or...

Day 3 & 4 (30-Day Challenge)
Hello hello IOU! I guess I’ll be irregular in blogging now that it’s back to work for me, but I’ll still complete the challenge — no problem (: so I was going to do Day 3 last night after hanging out in town with my fave girl (separate post) but I was quite tired heh. ANYWAY, Day 3: a picture of you and your friends :D
Soz, lazy to crop and the resolution will be worse...
the yuppie nuremberg defense
Today is 1.5 movie day and depending on my mood, I may watch another before bedtime. I finally got to watching Thank You for Smoking, which piqued my curiosity since it was released in theatres here…5 years ago. Well, I’m making up for lost time. I remember part of the controversy surrounding the movie, besides the defense of the smoking industry violating morals, was the design of the...
i am mclovin!
I started off Superbad thinking it was exactly that, super bad, because it was bawdy humour overload and it gets lame if sex is the only source of funny in a movie. Especially if you’ve been watching similar Michael Cera movies consecutively. But I don’t think Superbad is as bad as Youth in Revolt because at least there was bromance and dysfunctional cops. So despite the countless...
why everythingwillbealright?
Day 2: The meaning behind your Tumblr name.
I bet those who ever wondered about the origins of my Tumblr name think it has its roots in some inspirational quote like ‘Everything will be alright in the end. If it’s not alright, it’s not the end’ or a phrase to that effect. It really isn’t, although I hope it brings to mind the need to be optimistic (because I’m...
born without the love gene
Accepted GH’s 30-Days challenge because I need something to do (besides what I’ve been doing for the past weeks) to take my mind off things. I’m quite honored that she trusts me enough to let me read her private blog — I’m assuming it’s private because it’s little known. So the challenge for today/Day 1 is a recent picture of myself and 5 facts about...
youth in revolt
The movie is disappointing, don’t watch it. The plot’s so daft and we all know Michael Cera is capable of much more than just obsessing over getting laid. I dislike the feeling of having wasted an hour and a half on a crassy movie, especially when I had expectations for it ):
Today I got presents from different people for various reasons but I’m still not really happy because I...
time is precious, waste it wisely
Today was a really random day, so random until I didn’t even watch a single movie. But it was great fun anyway, wouldn’t have it any other way (: I needn’t have felt bad about not watching Rapunzel with the girls cuz I still managed to squeeze in lunch with them at Suntec’s Aston’s! It really is Zhi Wei’s first day of work there and Jan and Je had this bright...
sofa city, sweetheart!
It’s 19 minutes to 10 and instead of trawling fb for prom pix, I’m discussing movies (Juno, Sixteen Candles) with C. Loves it, probbly no better way to jumpstart a lazy morning. And yes S, if you’re reading from Australia, I finally watched Juno (: since…after Promos last year when you lent me the DVD and said to ‘watch it’ heh. It was nice, very likeable. It...
