So this Christmas and new years was a hell of a happening one. No kisses under the mistletoe but the good food, alcohol and the company of my friends and family was enough. All those late nights out and coming back in the early hours of the morning was worth it. I also got to see my hoes almost every other day of the week and that relived the good old days in secondary school. You just cant get enough of them even after 12 years!

Caleb is now staying with us and he's gonna be studying here. He managed to get into SJI Jr. and is in Pri5. He's so adorable!

School's been a pain in terms of the work load. All the last minute rush to complete my assignments. Sleeping late and waking up early, talking to a certain someone online but hey it's all good.

I think my mum has given up on me coming home late but i stick to the curfew on weekdays...dont i get let off for the weekend? Xwired's gonna be starting jammin again tomoro but everything's gonna be so different now. We really miss out drummer Audrey...all the best to her and her husband tho'.

Well i'll leave you with some pictures of her wedding and xmas...

Halloween Special

2006-11-05T16:35:00.000+08:00

My family's last minute halloween party turned out to be a success. The house actually looked scary thanks to Shaun and Orry for decorating it. There were drinks a plenty and everyone went hope in a jolly mood! Here are some pics...I was a pirate btw!

Incredible India

2006-11-05T15:39:00.000+08:00

Recently, i travelled to India with my mum to visit my aunt and cousins. I expected the worst but to my surprise, it wasn't that bad. In fact i loved it and would definitely go back there again! It opened my eyes to a lot of things, especially seeing how the poor live. Here are some pictures of this somewhat incredible country.

so, from the 3rd party yet again

2006-09-28T19:23:00.000+08:00

so, once again i find myself getting information from others. why cant you just tell me? you do know that the word will eventually get around. is that what you want? asswipe!

so, i've said i really dont care anymore and i feel that you're digging your own grave. I hope i'm somehow wrong and that things will work out right for you cos i really dont want to see you going down the wrong path. honestly.

so, for crying out loud! dont make all these rash decisions. trust me you dont want to regret the things you have done...

thanks to all the guardian angels who bother to watch your back!

and thanks to the two who always listen to my cry for help...

surprise surprise

2006-09-13T20:47:00.000+08:00

So, I get the blame for setting a bad example but at the end of the day it really isnt my fault. Friends are like the biggest influence ever...anyway, i wash my hands of this matter cos persuing the details behind this surprising incident wont get me anywhere.

Life is unfair, some people talk rubbish, some give you great advice and some dont give a fuck. That's life. All you can do is cry about it or eventually kill yourself or just take it like a man.

I prefer to cry about it and take it a day at a time like a man/women.

chill people...after receiving a comment from Phil which read -"UPDATE U FUGGIN SKANK >:D" (which was funny)...fine i'll update this stupid blog. (really man you guys got no life to be reading this blog, it's f-ing boring).

so what has been up lately...the hols have started and boy it feels great to have all the time in the world. So, went for a job interview for IMF whereby they're needing part time journalists...so they said they'll call us by the end of the week...hope the 5 of us who went get it. If not screw it lah! Not that important. Other than that i've been waking up late, watching TV, going out and editing some videos for my band. The easter gig video is finally done (it's bloody 1hr plus and it's quite funny)...working on the Lay Apos one now.

It's pretty sad lah. We've only got to perform for church events and we dont get paid. The time when we got the chance to perform for some sch, something came up. Now the latest on Xwired (my band) is that our 2 guitarists are doin their o's and a's, my drummer is getting married in december and will be gone for 2 yrs. So that means we have to multi-task...well sort of. We'll try our best. Oh and another member is studying in the US! I think it'll be a while till be come together and start playing outside and writing our own songs and stuff..but anyways, my bandmates rock and i cant wait to start a musical journey with them. (sorry it sounds so sappy)

gonna go to jakarta for a week. My mum and I gonna visit my dad who's based there. Cant wait to get out of this shit hole. It tends to get kinda boring after a while.

I miss Stacey -A LOT. I never get to talk to her. Tanya's the only one that keeps us updated. Can't wait till she gets back cos we're all gonna have a ball of a time...we'll all be 18 turning 19 and it'll be madness. Well i'm running out of things to say...so i'll just leave you with this joke:

Little Johnnie's Period!

The kindergarten class had a homework assignment to find out about something exciting and relate it to the class the next day. When the time came for the little kids to give their reports, the teacher was calling on them one at a time.
She was reluctant to call upon little Johnnie, knowing that he sometimes could be a bit crude. But eventually his turn came. Little Johnnie walked up to the front of the class, and with a piece of chalk, made a small white dot on the blackboard, then sat back down. Well the teacher couldn't figure out what Johnnie had in mind for his report on something exciting, so she asked him just what that was.
"It's a period," reported Johnnie.
"Well I can see that," she said. "But what is so exciting about a period."
"Damned if I know," said Johnnie, "but this morning my sister said she missed one. Then Daddy had a heart attack, Mommy fainted and the man next door shot himself."

hehe...and please stop buggin me to update the blog...must have a mood to write stuff..thanks!

Amigos

There are some people in this world that you just can't live without. Some people whom you wish never existed. And some whom you wish would walk into your life.

Just the other day, I realised that I love my family and friends so very much. I met Tanya over last weekend and we did what we always do...talked and talked and talked. It was great sharing with her some stuff and hearing what she had to say. She gave me an update of what was going on in Stacey's life as well...i miss all the hoes so much....and I cant wait till August 18th...

Then I was talking to Gomez and we had a pretty weird conversation that stunned us both but hope all is well. He's the kind of guy that every gal should have as a friend and i guess it will always be kept at that level (he's not gay or anything. it's just how it is)...

It feels great to have friends. People whom you know you can turn to anytime. Of course there are times when they get pretty annoying but then again dont we all? I know i do!

Well, i dont know what else to write....so i guess i'll put in some pics...great memories...

Ok, I've been lazy!

2006-06-21T00:01:00.000+08:00

A number of my classmates have been giving me gentle reminders to update my blog. The "its been awhile" post has expired and i guess it's time for a new one.

I dont write journals cos after a while i forget abt it or i'm just too lazy to write down how my day went. So with this blog thing, pple get a little annoyed when you dont update your blog after a really long time. I apologise.

Anyway...the hols are sadly ending. I dont think i spent it wisely. I didnt go out much and I didnt really balance out my sch work altho i did start doing it on the last day of sch. That's not impt...as long as i finish it soon and come up with something for audio pro!

Besides all the sch work and doing lotsa stuff for production crew...the World Cup is on! I'm supporting France btw..hope they make it..if they dont then i'll support Spain...or any other african looking team (and i'm not being racist)..I think teams like Ghana, Ivory Coast and Togo deserve a chance...

Hmm then thanks to my parents i have a MacBook. It's gorgeous and it distracts me frm doing my work (sometimes lah).

Well, I cant wait till all my assignments are done and I'm planning to get cracking on all the other upcoming ones...till then, hope this entry was not boring!

essayera d'écrire bientôt (will try to write soon)- hope the translation frm eng to french is right...

I agree, it's been awhile...

2006-05-03T21:22:00.000+08:00

Sorry guys...it's been quite awhile since my last entry. I've just been really busy with school especially with Production Crew.

Okay, so here's a quick update. On Easter (16th April 2006), my band Xwired, played at our church's feast day lunch. It was a huge thing for us cos it was our 1st successful gig. (as our very 1st gig was cancelled- by gones). So we had lots of fun, took pictures and even have a video which Eunice will help me edit...right?

So that was the highlight of my Easter celebrations.

Then i've been going to school every other day- even tho is was the hols, for production crew (PC) stuff and camps. But it's fun cos i like the stuff we do and hope i can learn more stuff.

Ok i cant remember any other highlights besides meeting everyone in sch again! It was nice seeing all my classmates greeting me with huge smiles on their faces! :)

Then forward to reality...last sunday (30th April) my band mates organised a bbq with some close frens...there was food and alcohol aplenty!!! I had so much fun laughing along with those wonderful people.

So basically that's it...nothing much to blog about really but i'm looking forward to my aunt's and cousins' arrival frm India... this one's a long story. I'll tell those who ask...

I am one lucky SOB

2006-03-29T22:06:00.000+08:00

All thanks to Priya, I got a chance to work as an usher for the Mercedes-Benz Asia Fashion Award 2006 (Regional Finals). -this designer frm m'sia won btw.

It was SO cool. No words can describe how much fun we (Debo, Priya and me) had. After we greeted and welcomed all the guests, we were allowed to mingle and help ourselves to the food and drinks- which was free flow of champagne and all house pours. How cool is that? I felt like an important guest. Whenever your hand was 'empty', they'd offer you more alcohol or food. That's what heaven is like... :P

So we got to see the fashion show, some famous faces and party the night at Zouk. (for details pls read Priya's blog).

Anyway, I was happy to have been in the company of my hoes (2 of them) and we had a terrific time. Boy was it a happening night!

Oh! And the best part of it all is that we get paid!!!

Thanks Palty for the recommendation!

She's gone- Ain't no sunshine

2006-03-27T16:58:00.000+08:00

S he has left us for
T he land of the rising sun.

A fter 10 months, we'll see her again.

C ry we will, miss her we will, but as

E ach day passes, we pray she'll be safe & happy and always remember that

Y our hoes love you!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

It's not warm when she's away

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

She's gone much too long

Any time she goes away

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

Wonder if she's gone to stay

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

And this house just ain't no home

Anytime she goes away

I know

She's gone to stay

It's breakin' me up

Anytime she goes away

Gotta leave the young thing alone

There ain't no sunshine when she's gone

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

It's not warm when she's away

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

And she's gone much too long

Any time she goes away

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

I wonder if she's gone to stay

There ain't no sunshine when she's gone

And this house just ain't a home

Any time she goes away

I know

She's gone to stay

It's breaking me up

Any time she goes away

Gotta leave the young thing alone

There ain't no sunshine when she's gone

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

I wonder if she's gone to stay

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

And this house just ain't no home

Any time she goes away

Truth, Beauty, Freedom, Love

2006-03-16T20:18:00.000+08:00

I've had the best two days of my life- for now at least- on wed and thurs.

First, I met up with the huatters for Eunice's surprise birthday dinner at Hard Rock Cafe. I think they did a good job at rocking our worlds... we had so much of food, they treated Eunice sweetly as they gave her a complimentary sundae- it was her 21st birthday, right and a band was playing really soothing music. Sadly I had to leave them to their fun while I...

met up with Shiela (and also met her bf Aleph) and headed to Tani's crib for a slumber party! My mum got us two bottles of French wine, which was not enough but anyway, we had a back-up plan which I won't go into detail, because.

We talked and talked and talked (x1000). Gosh, when we get together, we talk like we haven't seen each other in years. We stayed up till late and later when we decided to sleep (at 6am), Tani, Stace, Shiela Debo and me squeezed in the bed (super single and single joined) which Soph and Paltz were already sleeping on...smart Jo slept on the bay window bed. We were fidgety and touchy (ahem) but cuddled and fell asleep...

Soph and Debo left for sch at ard 7 plus so whoopee, more space on the bed! :p

Got up at 1130am, had branch (Jo and Tani fried up the eggs and sausages) and we watched the repeat of American Idol...(I love Stevie Wonder!)

Jo left the clan to go study, being the hardworking JC student that she is. Well, the party wasn't over. We still had one last mission: to go swimming! So, we got our bikinis and headed to the pool where we played (yes, played like bloody 6 year olds), gladiator and some other game that Tani and Stace made up when they were in Primary school!

We took lots of pics which y'all won't get to see but we had an awesome time!

Sadly, I had to leave the chicks and head on home...I had to go to work. Thanks to Eunice I made one last sale before I returned the stuff and signed the release form. It ended on a good note. We shaked hands and I thanked my supervisors for the experience I had working as a telemarketer no matter how sucky it was. Freedom!

So there, I had so much fun and I have my friends to thank for that. Thanks to the huatters for initiating me into their clique...

Thanks to the most lovable and amazing hoes I've ever met in my life, we have shared sooo many years of ups and downs. Here's to many more! Salut!

And lastly, the greatest thing you'll ever learn is to love, and be loved in return...that's how my relationship with my crazy hoes work. I LOVE YA'LL SO MUCH!!! (and especially Stacey, who's leaving...but she'll be back!)

OH! And thanks to all those who read this entry till the end!

(And the greatest thing bit is from Moulin Rouge) :)

I cried

2006-03-15T16:30:00.000+08:00

I just read Kristy's blog where she wrote a poem specially for Stacey- who'll be leaving for the land of the rising sun on the 22nd of Mar- it was so sad...i cried. And only at that moment did I realise that she's really going.

Kris, that was a really sweet sweet sweet poem. (we need to meet up soon for operation 656- that's what we called it right?)

Stacey, I love you and I am really gonna miss you!

Success

2006-03-01T17:15:00.000+08:00

Oh it's a sweet, sweet word. I made a SALE yeaterday! Finally, my second sale in ages...
So the boss is off my back but i still got to step it up. But who cares? I made my second sale!

Now, work is not really a drag anymore but I am definitely saying adios by the end of the month. Untill then, i'll be slogging over the phone trying to close more sales. :/

close to addiction

2006-02-24T22:45:00.000+08:00

This blogging shit is getting addictive. It catches you when you are so darn bored, when you're lonely, and especially when you need to vent and need virtual comments.

I really am beginning to dislike my job (as a telemarketer). I'm really not meant to do a job like this. So much so, i'm not looking forward to work this Sunday, but hell, i'm being paid and I'll just quit when the contract ends.

I guess I want something fun and something which allows me to at least take a 10 minutes break! I really didn't know what I was getting myself into...but kudos to Eunice, she's swell at work! :)

NOT 18 yet

2006-02-23T20:50:00.000+08:00

It kinda sucks that I only turn 18 in November... therefore I can't go for the upcoming Finale@Gotham Party. That's fine! It was just too good to be true that Gotham was gonna close one eye to those who were underaged.

Some things are simply not meant to be and we just have to accept it. So, right now i'm just counting down the months till I'll finally be 18. (about 9 more to go- DAMMIT!)

Oh! I watched The Pink Panther today. It was hilarious! A must watch- 4/5 stars. :)

So, for all those in the same boat as me- the not 18 yet boat- be patient, the day will come and when it does, make sure you have a good one.

number one

2006-02-19T01:35:00.000+08:00

I said i was never going to have a blog, but I've finally given in to my persuasive classmates...(you know who you are).
Well, dont expect personal stuff from me.
I guess i'll be frank when I want to.
