She
May be the face I can't forget
The trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
She
May be the song that summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day
She
May be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
The smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell
I am really tired...Please dont ask me why. I think if anyone ask me "how's my day?" i will probably scream and throw stones at the person. No offence, my friends, but i am just to tired to be good company. You know how Kaz gets when her energy level is at its lowest bar. I just simply zone out.
Anyway, this entry is actually for last night's. After work, I went to Suntec with Peggy and Serene (my two funny & cute friends) to collect Peggy's phone. As usual, i attacked the food with my phone camera, and subsequently, people at the same table are sujected to my mercy too. Heh.. Well, i'm too tired really, so just enjoy the pics below. Good night, guys!
Ps: In the end, i still got that top from GG/5 that i was eyeing. Yay!
I took the above shot sometime after dinner and during the commercial period of the "Wisely's Tales" drama just now. The sky is just beautiful with those amazing colors huh? Well, I studied 4 chpts at the library today. 4 more to go + a bunch of readings for this particular module and I can move on to study others. Yay, jia you! Mood swing still imminent though. **Shrugs*
I woke up with a feeling of disorientation after a mere 6 hours sleep. However, i have a clear goal in my mind. Today, i am gonna start studying. I also think i found the source of my boredom these days, so... no worries, kaz is rebouncing! If anyone wanna find me, just look to the nerdy section of the library i usually go, have a nice day, guys!
Yea... I am so not in the mood. Worst. M exams are coming and why do i have no sense of panic. I do not like this feeling. I attribute it to the potential fact of PMS or maybe that stupid 1/4 life crisis is coming back to haunt me? Everything seems so boring and dreary. Nothing interests me really.
A constant frown with furrowed brows lined my forehead as I indulged in this dark mood. At least i feel slightly better after waking up from a 4 hours nap? Still no mood to study though.
*Terrible, terrible, black clouds hovers**
**Yummy dinner, undesired late night GSS shopping, that lovely walk & a series of jazzy tunes
Its depressing as hell. I finally completed typing an entry and the Tblog site was down. So there goes everything that I typed. *Sighs* Anyway, being in good humor, or maybe not so good, i decided to try to recall what I typed previously. Here goes:
Well, I was glad Friday had finally arrived yesterday because I had previously made a lunch appointment with a friend since Monday and I was really looking forward to it. Needless to say, me being me, i made it friday just so i have something to look forward to while trying to endure the dreariness of mid week. Unfortunately, my friend had a last minute meeting and well, we didnt get to meet. I admit i'm really disappointed to a certain extent, but *shrugs* i got over it by now. Ahem. I have something to amend though... WILLY IS A DEAR really, contrary to the previous blog, where he was not trying his best to irritate me and me similarly, trying to do the same to you, my dear... heh, do LOVE YA! *Song on radio: Knocking on Heaven's Door* --- A really nice song.
Anyway, Friday night turned out well as I met dear Yin as planned. Before that, Yilin and I went to TMIS to submit her application for the start of study next sem, I am really glad that she is joining me, because, contrary to what you think, Yilin dear, I am happy that I will have my old-time study partner with me again, just like before! Hehe.. We have to work hard together ya? Spur each other on *winks winks*
Well then, I met Yin and we attempted to do some shopping before dinner...but no gains! I wonder if we were too picky but hmm... think my princess is more picky than me huh! At least you helped me to save $$. Lolx... Dinner was at Sun & Moon @ Wheelock Place... It was a lovely dinner with a simple fare of great food (refer to pics below). I just love the ambience there... *cosy* and no... we didnt really gossip (ahem!).. we didnt, Really, really, did we? Haha, that's not considered gossip!
After that, late night GSS shopping @ Wisma turned out to be a great flop because there were too huge a crowd... Major turn-off! We escaped and took a walk to another of my favourite place *Tanglin Mall and the stretch of carpet shops before it*. It's a really nice place, you know? Well then, we finally settled down again @ Trader's hotel open air cafe with our tall glasses of fruit juice. Actually, i really do like the tall glasses (oops!) and there were nice jazzy music from a band of 3 talented men... A huge screen showing some forgotten soccer match played on.
In the end, we talked and gossip(not much though, really!) as usual. *Simple familarity can be a form of bliss*

Once upon a time the Colors of the world started to quarrel that they were: all claimed the best, the most important, the most useful, the favorite.
GREEN said: "Clearly I am the most important. I am the sign of life and of hope. I was chosen for grass, trees, leaves - without me, all animals would die. Look over the countryside and you will see that I am in the majority."
BLUE interrupted: "You only think about the earth, but consider the sky and the sea. It is the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea. The sky gives space and peace and serenity. Without my peace, you would all be nothing."
YELLOW chuckled: "You are all so serious. I bring laughter, gaiety, and warmth into the world. The sun is yellow, the moon is yellow, the stars are yellow. Every time you look at a sunflower, the whole world starts to smile. Without me there would be no fun."
ORANGE started next to blow her trumpet: "I am the color of health and strength. I may be scarce, but I am precious for I serve the needs of human life. I carry the most important vitamins. Think of carrots, pumpkins, oranges, mangoes, and pawpaws. I don't hang around all the time,but when I fill sky at sunrise or sunset, my beauty is so striking that no one gives another thought to any of you."
RED could stand it no longer. He shouted out: "I am the ruler of all of you- I am blood - life's blood! I am the color of danger and of bravery. I am willing to fight for a cause. I bring fire into the blood. Without me, the earth would be as empty as the moon. I am the color of passion and of love, the red rose, the poinsettia and the poppy."
PURPLE rose up to his full height. He was very tall andspoke with great pomp: "I am the color of royalty and power. Kings, cheifs, and bishops have always chosen me for I am the sign of authority and wisdom. People do not question me - they listen and obey."
Finally, INDIGO spoke, much more quietly than all the others, but with just as much determination: "Think of me. I am the color of silence. You hardly notice me, but without me you all become superficial. I represent thought and reflection, twilight and deep water. You need me for balance and contrast, for prayer and inner peace."
And so the colors went on boasting, each convinced of his or her own superiority. Their quarreling became louder and louder. Suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lightening - thunder rolled and boomed. Rain started to pour down relentlessly The colors crouched down in fear, drawing close to one another for comfort.
In the midst of the clamor, rain began to speak: "You foolish colors, fighting amongst yourselves, each trying to dominate the rest. Don't you know that you were each made for a special purpose, unique and different? Join hands with one another and come to me." Doing as they were told, the colors united and joined hands. The rain continued: "From now on, when it rains, each of you will stretch across the sky in a great bow of color as a reminder that you can all live in peace. The rainbow is a sign of hope for tomorrow." And so, whenever a good rain washes the world, and a rainbow appears in the sky, let us remember to appreciate one another.
KTM Railway at Tg Pagar - Had lunch there yesterday's afternoon. Interesting place that brought back fond memories of me as a child going to JB with my family via this mode of transport.. Just like a long ago~
I'm back from that much anticipated meeting with my 'special old friend'. When i went to the carpark where he was waiting for me, i was afraid i couldnt recognize him coz i havent seen him for so long. Finally met him. I must said i enjoyed myself tonight. Really happy to see him. Hope we will be as good friends as before.
Yesterday, i had dinner with YQ and Peggy @ the pasta cafe. Havent met YQ for a long time it seems but it feels abit weird. Somehow, things just doesnt feel the same. Or maybe we were actually not as close b4? Anyway, as i mentioned previously in an earlier entry, yesterday was the birthday of an old friend whom I had lost contact with. Actually, I still have the phone no. of that friend, the only thing is we no longer communicate or meet for about close to 2 years?
Well, so then.. I did something that i wanted to do every year on that day and that was to contact this special friend. This is a friend whom i missed alot anyway, and so, i did it. He called me this morning and im going to meet him for dinner tomorrow's evening. It's been quite sometimes since i feel such great anticipation to meet someone. I hope everything goes well.
'Garden of Hope' by Kim Parker.
I want to have a beautiful garden of hope too. Something as beautiful as the above artwork. When will i have a garden of my own? Its a silly dream but i just wish i have a beautiful garden! Willy promised one if he can.. such a beautiful promise that even unfufilled, the thought is enough. *sighs* only willy could be so nice... Kaz still wants her garden of hope though.
Hi guys, as i was walking home just now, I heard something interesting on radio, which i thought i could share with all of you.. Well, do you know that pregnancy tests can be actually be traced back to 2000B.C.? Apparently, the witch-docs then devised an interesting but NOT accurate way of determining if a woman is pregnant or not.
Egyptian women used to pee on wheat seed and barley seed and if they germinates into a stallk, it means that they are pregnant. If the more costly wheat seed spouts into a stalk first, it means that the woman will be blessed with a son, which is highly desirable then. If it is the common and cheap barley seed that spouts into a stalk first, well, it means that the woman is expecting a baby girl, which was not that favorable then. Isn't that just so typical? Biasness of sexes denoted way before our time... i wonder how it really came about. Don't tell me god just make it that way? Life just ain't fair sometimes, huh? *Shrugs*
Whew! I finally completed my last assignment for this semester! Keke.. okie, i admit it, i so want to get a distinction but I am afraid that I won't get it. As usual, i refused to dwell on the fact that I could do better, because if I start thinking that way, i probably would not be able to sleep tonight!
Today is Mothers' Day. I wish my mum the bestest of best. I promise to be good and my latest resolution (actually a long-standing one) is to refrain from making her angry or annoyed (unfortunately that is something i always do). Well, yesterday, my dear mum came to look for me at the library after my work. I was planning to treat her to lunch but she ended up treating me. *shrugs* Anyway, we had Indian Veg Food.. and yes, that's the 3rd day in a row, i had indian cuisine. :S Pls. spare me! I am so not going to eat Indian Food for one month or more!
These days, I have the urge to take pics, so you guys are lucky coz u are gonna get an eye-opener: A pic of my beautiful mum, among other misc pics. Enjoy!
<Left> Interesting artwork on wall~
<Center> Indian Food again...
<Right> Mummy loves Rojak!
My dearest & most beautiful Mummy.
(23:08 hrs) Song on the radio now: 'Just Once' by Jame Ingram
This song always remind me of a special someone whom I had lost contact with. Coincidentally, tomorrow is his birthday. *Wishes him all the best**
Sometimes, people take time out of their hectic life to do something to make themself feel better. That is call "Indulgences". I have one last essay to complete and the due date is on Monday. I havent really started on it but today being the public holiday and all, i decided to indulge with a little social *consolation* with 2 of my dearest friends. Yea, who else but the WG?
I was in the shower the other day when I just have this sudden thought of how amazing it is that I have these friends who actually see me through the period of the awkward teenager stage and grew up together. I feel myself quite blessed to have quite a few of these friends. Another 2 jewels include Mei and Eileen whom i knew since primary school. Even though we might not meet up often, the bonds of the friendship is still there and you know that we can count on each other.
Anyway, tonight was a sort-of renuion after the gals' exams. We had dinner at the Little India's 2nd storey restuarant and couldnt finish all the food as usual. *Sighs* What a waste! After which, we walked around a little and ended up at Soundbar @ Gallery Hotel. Nice ambience and a pretty outdoor swing sits outside the bar but it was so hot that we ended up inside the bar and we were the only ones there, with the dory-like fishes to keep us company. *We were sitting next to a big aquarium. * I will miss times like this when we won't be able to be together in the near future but well.. good luck to both dears in the pursue of your dreams!
*Photos to peruse.. Note: Yin dear looks like a princess. really! N Of coz, dear Lyn is my adoring dearest sweetie:)
Today is Vesak Day. A sudden horrifying realization comes into mind as i try hard to recall anything about this annual religious day but I have no recollections at all. All that comes into mind is the vague memory of one Vesak Day years ago (when im still a kid), whereby my family and I went out to different temples to pray and it was really a hot and stuffy day with too much people on the street. My mum told me stories of the different Buddhas and some history/myths about certain temples then but thats all I can recall.
In the hectic process of growing up, i realised I lost memories and values of much; i.e. our cultures, heritage, religions among others important stuff.. Is it the same for others in my era or am i just too self-absorbed? hmm... its a sad thing when you come to think about it that way huh? Or maybe people do change their perspective after all. Along with age, comes a curiosity and deeper appreciation for our past/heritage whereby in previous years, I simply could not be bothered. Is it the same for you guys too?
Well, anyway, I found a site which sort of explains the significance of Veska Day. If you guys don't mind a long but interesting read, please click on the link below. However, since I only had a quick browse, I am unable to verify the authenticity of the article, so... well, just enjoy a good read!
The weather just drives me crazy these days. One minute it is so scorching hot (not that i am complaining too much) and the next, it is raining cats and dogs. :( I was drenched from head to toe on my way to school just now and just thinking of it makes me utterly pissed off all over again! oh well *shrugs*
Irritating Kerry is not helping matter. Why is she so noisy? Nagging and nagging and nagging and the worst thing is though i am not the object of her target, i am similarly subjected to her incessive naggings so please god bless me, help me, someone keep her quiet or far away... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Is it very greedy of one to want the best of everything? Hmm.. we can't have everything huh? Needless to say the best... well, while we are talking about this, do you agree with the statement that "it is the best, that's why I want to own it" or "it is the best because it belongs to me"? Sometimes, I feel myself wanting the best of both things at opposing ends. That make things even tougher and more complicated, i guess.. but hey, humans are lifesize walking contradictions after all! As such, I would like the best of everything and nothing... & yea, im probably giving everyone and myself a headache for that.. *sighs*
Walking home tonight gave me a feeling of nostalgia of a time which i can hardly recall. The freshly lawned grass and the scent of night envelops me in the dark as I made my way past those trees that I love so dearly. Insipiring singers crooned of sad love, hopes and dreams. Why does the heart, mind and mouth act in ways of their own accord and refused to coordinate? Why does the name of one makes the heart skip a beat? Infinite questions with answers that one refused to explore. And there goes me trying to romanticised everything. I didn't know i have that kinda tendency until Yin dear keeps reminding me not to do so. My dear, maybe i just like being poetic, thats all! :P
I attended my last lesson on SIT today and handed in my SIT assignment 2... However, the stress of a distinction or rather the potential lack of it, urged me to revised some parts of the essay and I am going to exchange this new one for the one i handed in today. *Wish me the best of luck once again*
These days, I have a penchant for exoticism. Exotic clothings, exotic looks, and mostly exotic food. One of Singapore's signature dishes (contributed by our Indian counterparts) is the curry. It is probably due to their common popularity in Asia that most Asian would not view it as an exotic dish but well, I see it that way. Asians are deemed to be exotic anyway (My self-delusional theory!). Anyway, Binny and Kok Hong came over for dinner last sat and we had curry fish head (among other delicious dishes).
Friday night, I met up with lyn dear. It was after her last exams (congrats!) and well, it was a time to destress for myself. Anyway, we gorge ourselves on fake choc that looks better than they taste and made mad rushes across roads *shrugs* the way i also do. :P It's a pity that Yin dear is not around but hey! Im not missing you coz I know we will be meeting up soon and more frequently now that your exams are over too! Hee..
Dessert includes Kaz's fave chocolate fondue, Shirley Temple for Lyn and a half pint Carlsberg for me.. Yeaps, I admit im a beer person. The rooftop terrace of Al Denta at Esplanade really makes a pretty scene at night! As always, I am fascinated by beautiful lights and lanterns.. But the choc fondue cannot be compared to Hiagen Diaz.. Carlsberg was good as always though ;)
To live, to travel, is to have great potential but also to leave some things behind: "What is the feeling when you are driving away from people and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? - its the too-huge world vaulting us, and its goodbye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies."Travel represents rebellion and freedom.
Excerpt by Jack Kerouac (2000) in The Encyclopedia of Travel Writing.
I find the above quote inspiring... Hope it give you guys something to ponder on too. Well, I had finally fnished my SIT assignment 2. It may not be the best essay ever, but at least it is finally done and I am too sick about it to think about doing any better. I do hope that I will get a good grade though. :) Wish me luck, thanks!
The Life Path is the sum of full birth name and birth date. This number represents who you are at birth, your characteristics and the negative traits that you will carry with you through life. This is the main number of your numerology. The Life Path describes the nature of this journey through life.
The 5 Life Path is the search for freedom.
A Life Path 5 person will face a life of changes and adventure, freedom and independence. Very rarely a 5 Life Path person will end up on a desk doing paper work. It's more likely to see them in thought-provoking tasks rather than routine and redundant responsibilities.
The accomplished 5 Life Path must develop their independent, versatile and multi-talented skills to fulfill their destiny.
A negative 5 become used to risk that they could become very irresponsible in tasks and decisions concerning their homes and business life. In the worse case situations negative 5's are very undependable and self-serving.
Your Expression Number is 4
The expression number is calculated using your FULL BIRTH NAME.
This number describes the talents and attitudes that you tend to present during your lifetime, if you choose to develop and use them.
The 4 Expression number must develop management and organization skills. They tend to work with building, engineering, and all forms of craftsmanship. In the arts, music will likely be the choice. Artistic talents may also appear in such fields as horticulture and floral arrangement, as well. Many skilled physicians and especially surgeons have the 4 Expression.
The positive attitudes of the 4 Expression yield responsibility;
If a 4 turns to its negative side, this responsibility can bring frustration and feelings of limitation or restriction. The 4 must avoid become too rigid and fixed in their opinions. The very strong negative 4 may have a tendency to develop and hold very strong likes and dislikes, and some of these may border on the classification of prejudice. The negative side of 4 often produces dominant and bossy individuals who use disciplinarian to an excess. These tendencies must be avoided.
Your Soul Urge Number is 5
This number denotes your heart desires, regardless of what you are from birth (Life Path) and what you may become in life (expression).
The 5 Soul Urge person would like to live a life of freedom and adventure. This person is not particularly concerned about future, and may seem shallow or superficial.
The seek for freedom sometimes creates restless and impatient people, with problems to follow routines and that tend to jump from activity to activity, without ever finishing anything. The 5 Soul Urge may feel uncomfortable with responsibility, either at work or love.
Your Inner Dream Number is 8
This number denotes your fantasies. If this number has a relationship with a core number, you may try to fulfill this dream. The number may become so strong that you project this number as your personality mask, associating it with how people see you when they first meet you.
You dream of success in the business or political world, of power and control of large material endeavors.
The Old Guitarist, 1903
If thou must love me, let it be for nought Except for love's sake only.
Do not say, I love her for her smile, her look, her way of speaking gently, for a trick of thought that falls in well with mine, and, certes, brought a sense of pleasant ease on such a day.
For these things in themselves, Beloved, may be changed, or change for thee- and love so wrought, may be unwrought so.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
