work cut out

fiona: "eh, we should study together"
eunice laughs.
fiona: "no, im serious"

ya, she is really serious. and it looks like it can't be helped either. 1st week of school and there are assignments to be handed in, discussions to be done.... i can't quite believe it either, to spend my free days doing readings & case studies. hello smoo.

timer

mafia

pull me away from the crowd to be with you

1st week at school was a meetup with familiar faces and cringing at unfamiliar ones. girls in non-existent clothes are such eye-sores. other than that, lessons were okay with its fair share of droning and me zoning out, i enjoy my daily dose of teh tarik and hanging around familiar faces. thankfully for the classes i bidded alone, i actually managed to spot some faces i know. its good to know that its not going to be THAT lonely up there.

ooh, there is this new chinese restaurant at Bugis where I had my 1st try at slurping xiao long tang bao out of a straw! It is called Nanxiang Steamed Bun Restaurant and it serves good crab roe xiao long baos. Ooishi!

tomorrow

You reminded me of my resolution, and pointed out how selfish and narrow minded I had been. all this while, I have just been showing my attitude and tantrums, and I realized I have never showed that I care enough to find out the reason why. I am the one doing all the accusing and jumping to the worse possibilities.

Thank God for tomorrows.
and never too lates.

yunxi's 2007

happy birthday yunxi.

work in progress

this is a work-in-progress

housekeeping

probably wont be online for a while cos my room looks like it has been swept by a hurricane. ok, truth is, i got a nice cupboard handed down from my auntie, so i clearing up stuff and hoping to spruce my room up a little. made a short trip to Ikea on my own today and lugged home a full length mirror. i amaze myself sometimes. this whole clearing up thing will take quite some time, really, given the amount of rubbish i have.

on a side note, i think i really mugged freaking hard for my A levels econs. I have a pile of binded lecture notes not just from SAJC but also from TJC. on top of that, i have huge thick files of self written notes, all pain stakingly written in all those colourful markers we used to have. so much so i had been reluctant to throw away all these econs stuff even though i really dont have any use for them. weird to say that your notes have sentimental value isnt it.

like how we amazed ourselves that the lyrics to the song we used to sing in school has been ingrained in our minds and that we can rap to it even now, without looking at the lyrics.

ok, old out and new in!

刮风这天 我试过握着你手
但偏偏 雨渐渐 大到我看你不见
还要多久 我才能够在你身边
等到放晴的那天
也许我会比较好一点

从前从前 有个人爱你很久
但偏偏 风渐渐 把距离吹得好远
好不容易 又能再多爱一天
但故事的最后 你好象还是说了
bye.

khmer cuisin

rarrr!!!!!! to khmer food.
taken: 22nd May 2007 - Siem Reap (At the hotel's restaurant on a rainy late morning)
even while i was eating it, i already know i will miss it when i come home.
1 of the most popular khmer dish is the amok, which is fish in curry gravy.
somewhat like the thai green curry.
ngong lam! (*very good)
ok that's in vietnamese but nevermind.

play

开心的是，享受的是，
那不用上班的自由。
陪阿嬷一整天 也不觉得累
虽然等待看医生的 waiting time 长的很。
听着她讲着已说过的故事，
偶尔听着她叫我听的电台故事。
（我们随身带着 mp3 player
阿嬷带的是永远调到 95。8 的 radio transistor)

可以睡迟 起得晚
穿这睡衣 在家里闲着,
把时间花在日剧， 书和音乐里。

看着朋友回家，
飞走。

为朋友庆生
玩着 boardgame。
看着电影
唱着 k (今天还是 fm 第一次一起唱)
把注意力 集中在歌词里，
专注的跟着拍子，耍宝， 搞笑。

然后察觉着
玩累后的寂静

girl at angkor

taken at Angkor (Cambodia) 21 May 2007
she followed us around, wanting us to buy her postcards.
we didn't have much use for them so we just shared our chewing gum with her and requested for a photo taken.
for which, she striked a lovely pose.

what has happened, i cannot describe and cannot forget. i find it hard not to be angry, neither do i want to not be. i feel that i have a right to and somehow i like to believe that maybe displaying my anger can be a way of warding off any further dramatic happenings. or to prep myself for any further disappointment.

that being said, i am not all that pessimistic, or ungrateful. i am grateful for and grateful to the name that came to my mind in the moment of exasperation and answered to my call. doumo arigato. without whom, i really don't know who else.

and my cousin. who has always been the giving one to the receiving me.

那年夏天宁静的海

"那年夏天我和你躲在 这一大片宁静的海"
... 那年夏天宁静的海

that summer it rained,
an indication of change.

a thunderstorm, i remember,
that sprinkled rain drops to cold bodies
hiding under the shelter

words, a bonfire,
that once burned of a possibility
then leaving only ashes that
disappeared together with the roll of the thunder,
the flash of the lightning
and the crashes of waves on shores.

that summer it rained an indication of change
and then that rain stopped.
