This is something initiated by a dear friend of mine (Daphne!) and she got a few of us to help her out! I am supppeerrr proud of her! :D cos unlike me... who say only never do... she actually put her thoughts into action! hehehe :D

Group Picture

"The Great Divide"
-quoted from shiling-

R-e-m-i-n-i-s-c-i-n-g

We were doing a minor renovation at home... and it was one of those times when your mom would force you to go through all your things that you have accumulated your entire life and start throwing them away one by one.

It wasn't particularly a very fun task for me cos i hate throwing away things! If I could, I would keep them all till i'm 90 or something. hehe.

so there I was one sunday afternoon, going through all my stuff, reminiscing about all the wonderful things that have happened to me when I was young-er. Like many other little kids in the 90's, I managed to collect anything and everything under the sun!!!

Stickers!! - shiny ones, hairy ones (heh), glow in the dark ones...

Stamps - I think the whole world collect stamps at one point in their life. hehe.

Erasers! - Haha.. i thot this was super cool...

Found one 'soccer-shoes-shaped' eraser! how cool is that! :p

Other than these ... I collected old currency, phone cards.. and and... 偶像卡 (idol cards)!!!! hahaha... hmm... I wanted to throw them all away.. but my sis said that probably we should keep it for a while.... who knows they will fetch us a high price one day...hmmm... you know.... like baseball cards!!.... woahahahaha...

Also found stacks of postcards! bring back memories of school days... when me and my friends would exchange postcards with messages written on them almost every single day! I wonder why we didnt just say it face to face....maybe it is the excitement of receiving a note or a letter! heheh.. oh well..those were the days.....

Maybe this is the beginning that made grown-up fel not do well in expressing her deeper feelings in front of other people verbally. I seldom or dont say stuff like... "i miss you"....or.... " i love you" ... kekeke.... but i will type/msg/text stuff like that... hmm...wait... not really.. i dun think i will text "i love u" either ... ahhaha.... (not yet at least) ....my point is!! i express myself better in words than verbally. i hum ji laaa...... :p shy.

Found some old projects that I did in school too... i was amazeeed at how creative i was!! woahahah... on the right side of the pic... i burnt the edges of the papers to give them an...olden days feeeel. ahhaha..... i know i know... some of you will be like "cheey!" but heloooo... i was in my primary school when I did that hoh!!! primary school!!! hahahah... and the left one... I used recycled paper to write the entire project on. nooo waait waait... it's not the recycled paper that you bought off the shelf alriteee.... the papers were recycled by moi! hahaha... you know... put some rough paper in the water, meshed it all up, blend it if possible, then lay them and shape them according to the shape of your choice... leave it to dry.. and voila! hand-made recycled paper! =D hahaha.... i am soo proud of myselfffff..... (^^)

I was reading through all the cards that my friends gave me all from primary school till university..... and somehow... I got to know myself all over again. apparently I have been telling all my friends since secondary school that I wanted to go on overseas voluntary trips to build houses (which I still havent been!) and since then I was already a pro-recycling paper kind of girl. I was actually quite amazed!! hahaha.... as in... maybe this is my calling! why have I never realised it before!! hahahaha.....

I also realised that I have 'lost' a few good friends along the way.... one of them is the girl who wrote me most of that postcards up there (see pic above haha).... i was tempted to put up a 'missing persons' notice here.. hehe... but on second thoughts......

........ i'll try my luck on facebook first.

Ben & Jerry's Vermonster!

my first Vermonster from Ben & Jerry's!

it was craaazy... 20 scoops of ice cream with bananas, brownies and complete toppings! so we got every flavour that they have! :)

It was tons of excitement until all the ice cream started to melt together in the tub.

we couldnt differentiate one flavour from another anymore! hahaha... but it was super funny!

it was a birthday celebration for wb! :)

oh.. and this is the group of people that I have been training for my half marathon with!

ahhaha.. yea pj.. i read about your running plan and thought about mine!! kekeke...

3 of them are running the full marathon in december.

me.. hehe.. too weak... only dare to challenge the half marathon with qx!

so we have been training for it cos the marathon is just around the corner!

and really.. i just want to complete it! :p

last friday i managed to run approximately 17km

PAINFULLY!

it felt reaaally goood!!

but only after the knee pain and the spasm in my calf and thigh muscles have subsided.....

.... which took about 2 days.

Jay Chou 周杰伦 - Dao Xiang / 稻香

Jay Chou's new song!

i really love his songs. very....soothing to the ear and very catchy!!

the lyric is meaningful too...! very comforting...

will pick out those that made me smile! :)

对这个世界如果你有太多的抱怨

跌倒了就不敢继续往前走

( if you have too many complaints about the world,

you wont be able to pick yourself up when you face failure)

追不到的梦想 换个梦不就得了

(if you fail to achieve your dreams, just change to another dream! no biggie :p)

我们是不是该知足

珍惜一切 就算没有拥有

(shouldnt we be contented with life. Appreciate everything even without owning it)

hahaha... something along that line la!!

this song makes me smile everytime!

reminds me of all my happy-go-lucky, contented friends that I have

who constantly remind me to appreciate all the beautiful things in life

......and to always remember to be happy!

since .... i cant remember when.... i started smiling even when i'm in a foul mood.

it will trick my brain to think that i'm happy and then i will naturally feel happy!

hahah...read it somewhere.

i think it works.

try it!

(^.^)

new resolution

I have 15 minutes before I have to tag along to a meeting.

I promised myself to keep my blog alive! But I failed heheh… my excuse is that my blog is supposed to be a photo blog! So logically, no photos means no blogging rite??

Heheh.. but hc asked me to go and update the blog a little on wat’s happening with me now… so that whenever he checked out my blog.. at least there’s something to read. Ahahhaha…sad la hc.. why keep checking my blog.. hahahaha :p

I love pj’s blog! (^.^) Easy to read and so interesting… I want my blog to be like yours pj!!

Maybe I will try to make my blog a blog instead of a photo blog.

And one thing I learnt while reading pj’s blog is that she always talk about one incident at one time… unlike me.. I like to babble on and on about a million and one things. Makes it confusing for a blog I guess….

So I shall end here cos it’s the end of one topic already i.e. I am trying to keep my blog alive!

=D
