things that happened today

Hello world, it's me!

Today is weird.

When I went to the train, P smsed me about Thai steamboat at night.
But I had to work at downtown until 6.
So she told me she will pick me up at 6.
A little later T left a message on my phone, telling me that she would pick me up.


AND then the girl who worked with me on Monday called in busy and I had to cover her shift until 9.


SO, I can't go for the outing, and I had to work alone, for 7 hours.
Today is quite a waste.

No Thai steamboat. I can't meet anyone.
The upside is, my customers were really nice today. They tipped a lot.

:D

I had a major depression attack last week, after a birthday party.
I felt like it was all meaningless and I wanted to hurt myself. I lost all purposes.



And I'm proud to say that my depression attack is OVER. I'm back to normal. I don't know really know when but it kind of just went away. Woo hoo.


Anyway, it's quite scary because I haven't been depressed in a really long time. I don't feel sad that often nowadays. So it's scary when depression comes back.


Maybe because I never had a proper birthday celebration. By the way, my birthday this year maybe the worst ever. It sucks. August the first 2008 Sucks with a capital S.



All that aside, it just feels so great to be up and running again.

:D
P.S. By the way, this year, so far, I'm medication-free. Yay!

hello Britney

Hey Britney, you are still gorgeous :D

television

Smallville is getting really good these days. The storylines are more interesting. The directing, the filming, everything is getting more innovative...

Ah, screw it. It's getting good because KRISTIN KREUK is BACK.
Only for one episode though. Boy, she looks quite different, but still gorgeous.

Anyway, still, Smallville is getting good.



On a different note, Pushing Daisies is the most romantic, beautiful, best best best best show on earth. It is SO beautiful. And the soundtracks of the series are the best ever, they are all orchestral music. It's an absolutely perfect show.


And I am such a loser to burn my life in these shows.

But who cares :D
I love television. It's a haven for creativity and a perfect hideout from the boring day-to-day life.

By the way, I like Tina Fey. She's unique.



I think my posts are getting so disconnected these days.


:D

update

Pushing Daisies is the best show on earth.
Desperate Housewives is getting so boring.
And Heroes is getting seriously disgusting and lengthy and pointless.
Gossip Girl is a yawn fest.

David Archuleta's album is bad.
Taylor Swift's album is cute.
Beyonce's album is fierce and really catchy. She's so pretty.


And I think I should not love anyone. I'm not good with that. Never was and never will be.



But the person is too perfect.

the only real love story in this blog

I had a wild night last night.

And I think I have a strong affection for someone.




But the person will never know.

Dior Ads

These ads are from Jean-François Campos. Gorgeous silhouettes, incredibly classy. It just feels really Audrey Hepburn to me.

PLEASE VOTE

Hey everyone, please vote for the new president!

If I were a US citizen, I would totally vote.

And my choice would be OBAMA. I would like to bring the US army back home safely. I would vote for OBAMA because he is the HOPE. I would vote for OBAMA because he would bring PEACE. I would vote for BARACK OBAMA because he is a true American. I would vote for BARACK OBAMA because he loves America.

And most importantly, I would vote for OBAMA because he is a dad, a husband, an african-american, and he CARES for you and me.

=D

So please Vote!

By the way, this video is totally awesome. You meet ALL THE STARS you can think of in this photo. It's so funny, even though it's an appeal to vote.

tv shows

Have you watched "Gossip Girls"?

I think it's trash. Actresses are mumbling the whole way through. Chuck Bass is supposed to be a womanizer but he is SO NOT hot. The storyline is bumpy and slow and uninteresting. Relationships in that show is oh-no. I don't even know what's the point of the show.

The only good thing about the show is the fashion. The clothes are impeccable, except for Chuck Bass's clothing (which is trashy).

Why isn't it canceled yet?

hello world

I hate the fact that I lost my birthday database. Well, I don't know what's that really call but by "birthday database" I mean the entire calendar with everyone's birthday on it.

I think one of the my close friends is mad at me. And I really don't know why. Please forgive me/ talk to me if it's bugging you, give me a chance to know what I did wrongly!

I had a bad day today. I had a headache. And I hate it when that happens.



But I really am thankful for what God has blessed me. I really am!

I miss my friends......

the power of a comma

It's a Brazilian Advertisement. But interestingly, the voice-over has a British accent. Brit accent is charming!

life is short

I am suddenly struck by reality!

I only have around 40 years with my parents!
I only have around 50 more years to live!
I really don't want to think how many years my grandma will still be there to answer my calls whenever I call her!


I only have around 40 years to show appreciation, love and care for my parents!
And I think I should do that early. Now.

I have been wasting too much time focusing about myself!!!!


When I think that I have 50 more years to live. I think that's so freaking long.
But to think that I have only 40 years to see my parents around, I think that's a REALLY short time.


Time seems so short when you want to be around the people you love, doesn't it!


And that's why my last year in Singapore seemed like a second. There were so many friends I came to know and love. But it all happened so fast, I left without a proper goodbye, even to the friends at the airport.


And I really don't want to say farewell to anyone ever again.


and I'm sorry, I love you, my friends!

I'm really hard to please

Ok. I have just realized that you know. Like seriously.

You know. When I look at everyone's photos, their eyes are ALWAYS reduced to a thin line whenever they smile, especially in candid photos. That means they are truly happy.

But not me. In photos, my eyes are always open. And when I try to smile (when I'm actually not happy inside), my eyes are always open.

But then, sometimes when something that was really funny cracked me up, I laughed myself off and I cannot see anything.

SO. It means when I'm really happy, my eyes do reduce to a thin line.



And which means, most of the time, I just pretend to be happy. Like fake laugh. Posed laugh. And then I check myself in reality. It turns out to be true. Whenever I laugh with a customer. It is ALWAYS fake. I just tried to be cheerful, light their days up, set an upbeat note. But that's it. All is customer service, all is fake.

And yah, I am not easily amused.

And when I think back of my entire 3 years in Singapore. I can only remember 3 incidents in which I was truly happy, and amused, and I guess my eyes were reduced to a thin line during these three events:
1) When the cockroach flew into my room. It was a really fun incident which I remember the most in my three year of hostel life.
2) Whenever Nicole talks.
3) Whenever a particular choir girl talks. I don't know her personally and I don't talk to her much so I cannot reveal her name here. But she is small, and her mannerism is really funny. She's real friendly too.

But that's about it. I cannot remember anything that's so funny that has happened to me.

Only Ellen DeGeneres can really crack me up. She is REALLY funny. And my eyes reduce to a thin line whenever I watch her show. Cos that's when I truly laugh.



I really hope I can be more upbeat/easier to please. I want to be a person whose eyes are small in photographs. I want to truly laugh all the time.

I want to be true. I don't want to force myself. I don't want to fake.




And I don't want to be so lonely!

"There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread."
- Mother Theresa

and yah, I agree.

a post like no other

photo art by Alberich Mathews

I'll start this post with two words: "sperm" and "egg".


Strange?


Yes, it is. But suddenly, I have this thought running in my head, and I must write it out.


Let's start.

And I'll start with names: Thomas Edison, Leonardo Da Vinci, Marie Curie, Newton, Albert Einstein,...

some more names: Jason Mraz, Corrinne May, Josh Groban,...

and even more names: Barack Obama, John McCain, Hillary Clinton, Lee Kuan Yew, Jazques Chirac,...

of course, more names: Britney, Paris Hilton, The Jonas Brothers,...


and, there things: iPods, cell phones, Playstation, LAPTOP, Clothes,...




And what do all of these have in common?
_ They are human and they are creations by human.

And where do human come from, where is each of these people mentioned above come from?
_ A SINGLE SPERM AND EGG.


I suddenly find this very intriguing. Sperm is very small, well, I don't read bio anymore so I don't know the exact size and I don't bother wiki it, but well, it IS VERY SMALL. Egg is bigger than sperm, but it is still small, I think.

And to think that after fertilization, and after a long time, it will become human, it will grow into a teenager, an adult, an elderly, with many many events and milestones along the way. I find that amazing.

Isn't it amazing?

So basically, great people like Albert Einstein started out just like anyone of us. From the fertilization of a sperm and an egg. And the minuscule fetus grew with time, become a man, and a legend.

And I suddenly find that life is such a gift. Really, with time, something that is SO small become SOMETHING that is so precious, so larger than life.

It's like I was just a tiny piece of sand 19 years ago.Now, I have eyes, a nose, ears, hair, mouth, a body, a BRAIN, a beating heart,... And to think that just 19 years ago, I was NOTHING, I was TINY.

Suddenly, I find that the creation of a human being is so GROUNDBREAKING. Really.


Well, on a smaller scale, let's think about a flower. One morning, it was just a plant in front of your house. After that, you are like "Hey, there are buds!" And before you can realise, there are beautiful roses in your front yard.

And all of that started with pollen grains and, I want to say egg?. Haha, I really forgot my bio stuff.



So, the whole of this post is, I find LIFE is an amazing process. Life experience is a different story, more often ugly than beautiful, at least for me.

But anyway, I suddenly start to appreciate my life more. I have grown from practically nothing to a 19 year old person.


And I think that is something that I really need to TREASURE.


Thank you God for my life!

materialism

I was thinking of getting a new phone. I was torn between two choices:
1) LG Prada Phone
2) Nokia E71

But then, I realised I had been saving to buy a car. And a car is more crucial cos that's how I can go from home to college next year. And who knows, from home to the mall, from home to KFC, from home to gf's place.

Nah, scrap the last part. I'm not interested in a relationship. And even if I am, nobody would care about me anyway. But hey, at least I would have a car. HAHAHAH! And yah, I believe there maybe some genuine people who can understand and befriend me!

I'm excited about going to college next year!

And back to the phone issue. I already have 2. It makes no sense to get a third one.



Note to self: MUST NOT BUY A NEW PHONE. MUST SAVE MONEY.



Sigh. Me trying to save money is like Paris Hilton trying not to be stupid. I'm quite a spendthrift. I must control myself.



I'm becoming a workaholic!!!!




and out.
