In a blink of an eye, today's the last day of 2006. Unbelieveable. Am sitting on the sofa now, waiting for time to pass by. hahahahahaha

well, more like waiting for dinner to come and then heading out to meet my peepz. had a quiet christmas eve thus decided one way or another to have a blast tonight!!

tao's mambo wednesday



its 1015pm right now and i'm still feeling stoned on the sofa. the telly's showing channel 8 news and my brain's almost halfdead.

came home at around 6plus 7 this morning after mambo and supper after with yk and frens. quite a fun mambo night, minus the mountains and seas of people crowd at zouk. shocking seemed like the whole world's at zouk last night. the people i bumped into namely stephanie, fonia, leon, jack. there was even this guy who said hi to me at velvet, i turned around and found him familiar as well. just that i couldnt seem to put a name to his face. i said hi back but i'm pretty much sure with a very confused and blur face on me. hahahahhah

didn't really drink alot. had like a glass of vodka 7up, 2 jugs of vodka ribenna and i jug of gin tonic. the jugs are shared between me and yk of course. and some of the other guys too.





yk wasn't taking much likings to vodka 7up and gin tonic. hahahhah poor thing~ sorry yk!! bad recommendation for u. lol. but we were pretty much settled with vodka ribena after. :P ck was recommending pineapple juice + midori to us but i kinda remembered that it wasn't a very very nice drink. safer to go with vodka ribena. hehehhz

anyway yk brought me to have dinner at Tao's located at Parklane. a 7 course dinner and it was quite nice. loved the creme brulee desert!! tried it at some other places but it wasn't as nice as the one i had at Tao's. it's creamy enough and with the right amount of sweetness. or maybe becos the portion of it wasn't that big so it tasted nice? hmmmm.. lol oh and the tea was pretty special too!! the service was good. a casual relaxed atmosphere.





the menu's like a classy restuarant kind with a pretty reasonable price (lunch $19.90++ 6 course and dinner $29.90++ 7 course). interior design is quite ok with a bit of japanese touch to it. not a place that you'll go when you're all dressed up. a casual/smart casual dining place :) worth a try!





thanks for the fun night/morning yk!!
*muacks*

Days After Christmas


occasion: year 2006 christmas eve
venue: home.

its funny.

every year for the past few years i'll always try to plan a great night in/out with my friends to welcome christmas day. but this year, i chose to let it pass quietly and alone. technically i stayed in for dinner at my uncle's place and headed back home after. no after-dinner plans. no clubbing plans. no drinking plans. just me myself and i.

its 2am now and i'm sort of having some mixed feelings. telly's showing christmasy family friendly movies. my inner self was like laughing and crying for being such a pathetic loser who's at home alone spending christmas eve by herself and at the same time saving money spurging on alcohol while squeezing with mountains of human beings. then there's my suspicious self that cant help but to wonder if you really did spend christmas at home or otherwise...

for some unexplained reasons, i can't seems to feel the christmas spirit. i sort of felt it when i was wrapping up presents earlier and before, along with the christmas lights in town. but when i was out with you today, it just felt so.... plain...

i wasn't able to (and still cant) smell, touch and love christmas this year.

why?????
i hate this feeling.

its like i can't hear santa's sleigh bells anymore.
just like the kid in The Polar Express.

perhaps this year is the most crappiest year i had so far. each year seems to go from bad to worse and i don't know why.

i even brought along this dress back from KL which i kinda gotten specially for tonight. the so-called plan that was supposedly to happen but was later dropped due to circumstances. maybe this is another reason why i can't feel anything today?

cant seems to get rid of my bad habit of putting my hopes on high on the things people said to me. each and every time when someone mentioned about something exciting or new to me that they'll bring, it just turns into thin air...

to the one upstairs, why are you doing this to me time and time again? what have i done to deserve such a thing???

perhaps You're trying to teach me not to be so naive and trust people easily. but why can't something nice and good just happens to me and stays??

just read finish jean's blog. maybe we're actually going through this mentally-changing phase in life. where one will spend christmas eve alone and realising christmas hasnt got much effect on us 24-ers anymore? i don't want to believe such thing is true. i still want to believe in santa claus and that warm fuzzy feelings with goosebumps when u hear carols on the streets with the christmas lights lighting your way. shit.

philip invited me along to join charles, his sister and her frens tomorrow night for drinks. i obliged. been awhile since we last met up and charles + sis are back for the holidays anyway.


random pics on what i had been doing for the past many days....

Christmas Eve


was on my way back from novena earlier and saw this really sweet thing.

there was this tall guy with his supposedly slightly shorter gf walking side by side along the small narrow pathment. it was drizzling. they came upon this puddle of water, the guy kinda carried the gf up while she was holding the umbrella. Walked across the water and put her down after.

how often do u see such guys around now? of course there're the occasional simple polite gentlemen who opens doors for ladies and etc.

so sweet lor!!!

they looked quite young too. very simply dressed. it's simple gestures like this that really touches one's heart everyday.

i guess it'll take a damn strong guy (eg Superman) to actually lift ME up and carry me across a puddle of water. hahahahaha i wouldn't mind spiderman either. or batman maybe? LOL

Joke of the Day


hahahaha
quite funny this one
^^*


:: Newly Wed ::


A newlywed couple had only been married for two weeks. The husband, although
very much in love, couldn't wait to go out on the town and party with his old
buddies.

So, he said to his new wife, "Honey, I'll be right back."
"Where are you going, coochy cooh?" asked the wife. "I'm going to the bar,
pretty face. I'm going to have a beer."

The wife said, "You want a beer, my love?" She opened the door to the
refrigerator and showed him 25 different kinds of beer, brands from 12 different
countries: Germany, Holland, Japan, India, etc.

The husband didn't know what to do, and the only thing that he could think of
saying was, "Yes, lolly pop...but at the bar...you know...they have frozen
glasses..."

He didn't get to finish the sentence, because the wife interrupted him by
saying, "You want a frozen glass, puppy face?"
She took a huge beer mug out of the freezer, so frozen that she was getting
chills just holding it.

The husband, looking a bit pale, said, "Yes, tootsie roll, but at the bar they
have those hors d'oeuvres that are really delicious... I won't be long, I'll be
right back. I promise. OK?"

"You want hors d'oeuvres, poochi pooh?" She opened the oven and took out 5
dishes of different hors d'oeuvres: chicken wings, pigs in blankets, mushroom
caps, pork strips, etc.

"But my sweet honey... at the bar... you know... there's swearing, dirty words
and all that..."

"You want dirty words, cutie pie?... LISTEN UP, DICKHEAD! DRINK YOUR FUCKING
BEER IN YOUR GODDAMN FROZEN MUG AND EAT YOUR MOTHERFUCKING SNACKS, BECAUSE YOU
ARE MARRIED NOW, YOU AREN'T GOING ANYWHERE! GOT IT, ASSHOLE?"

....and, they lived happily ever after. Isn't that a sweet story?

the music box



that day you bought me this special music box
i knew it will always be our special song
i even got one for you to remember me of
before you left

for some unexplained reasons
you stayed on my mind for the longest time
even till now

i seriously don't know why but
to have this feeling that
you're the one and only who's meant for me

you stood by me when times was low
you never fail to pick me up when i fell
you made me laugh when i was down

you listened to my every words and actually remembered
you were my pillar when i was semi-drunk
you took care of me through the nights and days
you cried with me on our last night there

although you bid me farewell a year plus ago
memories of us still remain deep within
although now you share your life with someone new
i still cant forget the things we went through

is it really so hard to find someone
who's as wonderful as you
or am i still holding onto something
that's all in the past now

what should i do to let you go completely?
i really tried, i really did.
but its so hard accepting others in
when i feel dat nobody can reach deep within me
the same way you did...

sometimes i felt like picking up the phone
to dial that once familiar number
but that stronger part of me held back

cos i understand that
you have someone new in your life now
and she's able to make you believe something
so much so that you're now 'in a relationship'

i nearly could have given up everything
inorder to spend my life with you
but you told me it's a silly thought
that i should carry on with what i'm doing
so i listened to you
with that, i've lost myself...

you were once my strength of hope
you gave me love, care
and endless encourgement
you showered me with special attention

there was nothing i could have wished for
other than the times we spent together
on the phone and face-to-face.

you know something?
the moment i lost you
my world really has collasped...

i came to realise just how badly i needed you
i would have gone through the distance with you
but you told me not to be silly
that i should carry on with what i'm doing

can you feel the pain i'm bearing now?
can you feel the sense of sorrow i'm going through?

how i wish i can turn back time
to be the silly girl you once told me not to

cos given the choice of being the me now and the me back then
i definately choose to be the me i was when i'm with you

how i wish that tomorrow when i wake up
everything will be back to where it was before
everything now will then be a nightmare
cos i know that when i'm awake
you'll be by my side
and everything will be alright

but all i can do now is
to cry myself to sleep
for tomorrow we'll always be distances apart

what's left of you now are
the memories, the teddybear,
the pictures, the keychain and
the music box

chilled wednesday


left house at around 5ish today. was kinda raining cats and dogs by the time i came out so hopped onto a cab and drop at paragon (again) to meet up with Johnson after his work.

had dinner at Ding Tai Fong (again) together with KK. Johnson wanted to try out Singapore's branch before going back to Taiwan to check their branch there. Heard from him that the queue outside Taiwan's Ding Tai Fong is always so terribly long and packed. think everywhere that has nice fantastic food always comes with a long wait and queue outside the restaurant/stall itself in taiwan. lol.

ordered the usuals while waiting for KK to arrival. and he ordered 2 more dishes after. Bill came up to roughly SGD20-25 each.






think my late nights is slowly paying off to my brain cells. i've problems trying to translate figures from my ears to my brain.... i actually gave the cashier $61 when the bill was $69.85. For some reason, i picture it in my brain as $60.90 after the cashier said $69.85. I even told the boys that exact figure when they asked!!! something's wrong with me man........

anyway, headed to Vivo City to bring Johnson around as was planning on going to St James Power Station together with his boss after. So we walked, talked, shopped and coffeed at Pacific Coffee Company (the one Audrey recommended), even met up with Johnson's family's financial adviser, Shirley.

Waited until 10pm before the 3 of us was about to walk over to St James when his boss said something came up and couldnt make it there -___-" what was even more 'paiseh' was that Jyoji just parked his car and waiting for us just outside St James!!

Since St James was out of the picture, we went to the nearest chillout spot - Mt Faber. Got a table at The Glass Bar and sat our butts there until 1am. there's even this Snow Show going on now!! it's at 8pm, 930pm, 1130pm, everyday.






Planning to bring my mum and grandparents over next weekday :)


So, had a good night out with the guys. Felt great to meet up with Jyoji and seeing familiar faces again. Managed to catch up over some stuffs with Jyo - his life, colin's life, the future and automobiles.


next up tomorrow:

- Same group of people (and maybe more)
Dinner + Ministry Of Sound + Supper/Coffee (optional) = Broke + Broke + Major Brokeness!!!!!!!!!!!

Lime Sonic Bang







went to cineleisure with my younger cousin Karen yesterday to check out the Lime Sonic Bang.

had dinner at the Chicago Steakhouse before heading over to the open field opposite Youth Park for the event itself. during dinner, she kinda surprised me by with the VIP and backstage passes she gotten from her friends. lol. cute.





Daniel Ong and Kelly was hosting it and Daniel is one heck of a charming funny guy. Totally loved the way he entertained the crowds with his sense of humor and cold jokes.

eg.
Him: okok tell you guys a quick 2 short jokes and 1 long one.
Him: cokcok coooook

-.-"


he was shoshing the crowd by going 'sshh' to introduce Seranaide but there was this crazy punk who suddenly screamed. daniel shouted "SIAO AH!!!" and stormed up front like an old ahbeng to that punk. hahahhahaha*

anyway, it was quite nice that night. except that the weather was hot and humid.


Serenaide




Force Vomit (that's Daniel Ong in the middle with white top.hehehe)




Astreal




Electrico





halfway through the show, it suddenly reminded me of several LIME events i went on when i was in KL. hahahahah man that was eons ago!! when i was around Karen's age. i wld join my indonesian babes to check out those LIME events featuring Gil and the Westlife. even took pics of them but couldn't remember where i've stashed those at.

i think only when someone mentioned that this is his first time performing to such a young crowd LEGALLY that i realised how young those crowds actually were!! felt like such an auntie with all those youngsters jumping and screaming and snapping their cameras at those superstars on stage.

oh well, least it brought me down memory lane recollecting those silly gigs i been 5 years ago.

ha!



xoxox

i think this picture kinda sums up how come i sleep so late all the time

seriously.
