copy paste.

there's something which i can't stand..
and that's something to do with how some people pose in pictures.

photo 1 - tilt head 10deg to the left.
photo 2 - tilt head 10 deg to the right.
photo 3 - tilt head 5 deg down.

photo X - tilt head to the xth deg - facing left/ right/ down.
( 5< x <10)

eyes, eyebrows and smile are frozen in place in every single photo.
it's as if the face has been cut and pasted in every photo in p/s.
rawr!!! doesn't help that the make-up defeats its purpose. :(

ok i've finished bitching. the end.

The years that went by

The previous post is very touching and it drove me to tears. And it made me reflect on the years that went by. We have really came a long way with each other through the good and bad times, and also the ups and downs. I am really thankful that you gave me the chance to take care of you and also share my life with you. Thank you dear for supporting me through the times when I needed help the most. Without you I would not be able to do alot of things.

For example, without your help during my A levels, I dun think I would have been able to make it to law school. Hahah my maths was really super bad. Thank God and thank you for everything. Also without your help, I dun think I would have been able to prepare so well for all my lessons that I taught the kids at Sunday School. Without you, I would not be able to organise things like games day. Still remember how you painstakingly folded the stars for the young pre-schoolers, such a sweet gesture.

Although the road here has not been exactly smooth, but it is through good times and bad times that our love grows stronger. I thank God for all that happened, putting our relationship to the test so that it can only grow stronger. I am still looking forward to the promise of the little cottage facing the sea. Dunno where that vision may take us, but I know that we would enjoy our adventure together this whole life.

So as we celebrate the 8th year together, I pray that God will draw us closer and help us to grow stronger as a couple. Furthermore, I pray that we would be able to complete our life adventure together and look back with fond memories of our experience. Love you so much dear.

8

Today's date marks the 8th anniversary of our relationship together. I'm not bouncing off the walls at excitement, but I feel as if my face is lit by a secret smile and there's a warm glow of contentment just thinking about what we've been through together. It isn't a super dramatic soap opera, but whatever we've faced has only served to strengthen our relationship as a couple.

I was hesitant to get together with N initially, since he's my first and all. But somehow things fell into place and I realised that I was starting to like him a lot. So much that I thought to myself, 'Hey maybe things CAN work out.' But that was before he officially and nervously asked me whether 'he could take care of me.' *blush* So anyhow there was the innocent dating thing, bringing me out to pulau ubin for cycling trips, having lunch after school, sending me back home with the long bus journeys before we got serious.

I realised I was comfortable with him and we could talk just about anything and most importantly, he already LIKED me and wanted to develop a you-and-me to an 'us'. lol. So it was a smooth transition to getting together, but of course I'm not going to ignore the fact that I was REALLY NERVOUS about it!

Naturally the first few years had quite a few ups and downs. I had to know what it's like playing the role of a girlfriend, being a lover and a confidant, getting acquainted with his family, keeping up with my studies and not daydream too much. Hahaha. We quarrelled quite a bit, with plenty of cold wars but from there we learnt about our characters and learnt to communicate better with each other. I was also developing a sense of self-awareness, like I had to explain "WHY I was angry" even if I didn't know why I was pissed off in the first place :P

I'm fortunate that N was and still is! very serious about us and not like the other boys I heard about. *shudder*

I really appreciate his thoughtful comments whenever I confide in him, and always giving it his all in order to make me happy, though sometimes with unintended results. :P

I guess there's no one definition for love. It's rather hard to describe it in a sentence or even a paragraph. It's just a warm fuzzy feeling that makes you feel on top of the world and that's the way I feel about N till now. :)

Happy anniversay N, I'll see u in a bit! :D

:(

getting grossed out by the snot that's coming out of my nose in droves, yet feeling quite relieved that i can breathe more easily.

eww.

:(

my abs are getting a workout though.

:)

*droool*

I'm seriously loving this bag I found from Free People. What a delicious mix of rope, canvas and leather!

haaacho!!

Was as sick as a toad yesterday, sneezing countless times and blowing my blocked nose even more. What was worse is that my eyes were burning and throat up in flames and I couldn't really stand more than 15 mins to iron clothes. Felt really miserable and I just couldn't fall asleep in front of the tv because I didn't really want to sleep in my bedroom.

So I followed N's advice and took a flu tablet and slept for 1.5 hrs. Woke up feeling much better, had dinner and slept again at 8pm. Woke up today at 9am, with the heatiness and sore throat all gone. The blocked nose is much better now, at least I can breathe through my nostrils.

Yay! :)

the HORRORRRRR

I just found out that Freitag's stopped producing its iconic backpack, the Bonanza! Boohoo I don't know how long it's been already, since I haven't been to their website for ages. But they didn't even send me an email! :(

so upset.
sulk. :(

mm?

Think I've lost my blogging mojo, nothing new is happening in my life right now, except that my room is 90% clean, most things have been packed and rearranged to their appropriate places, I've dumped more than 20 bags of rubbish, including old school notes.

I've watched a couple of movies, read quite a few books, think I'll update that on the sidebar. I've somewhat restored my sleep debt, I made it to Penang, enjoyed myself immensely in the company of friends, burp! So what else is new?

I've customised a graduation present for myself from forestprints, courtesy of N (more on that when it arrives). I've drooled at Cath Kidston bags which Fie Japan stocks (O,O). I've gone gaga over a basket bag I saw at Muji, to which the sales assistant confidently replied that all stocks were sold out at all 3 branches. The net-savvy me decided to trawl all over the internet for possible stocks, but the closest I could get was internet pictures of it.

And to which, I found!!!!! the next day at the branch at Paragon.
Tsk tsk!!! This concludes my third experience of never trusting the words of salespeople, and to rely on the sole effort of going to every outlet possible to get what you want.

And the day after getting the said basket bag from Muji (how could I resist?), I found yet another similar looking basket bag at Pottery Barn. Mmmmm.. Ho hum.



This concludes my non-blog-worthy life. The end.
Mmmm I feel like having a warm creamy soup now.. :Þ
