i had a fight with my father last night.. it made me upset, and i can't believe that at age 23, he still has the ability to make me cry.i've decided that he's no longer going to be my father, he'll just be some guy who happens to live in the same house..
*shrugs*
that's just life i guess..
i've finished packing for melbourne.. save for the last few items that i need in the morning. i've still got to go to work tomorrow, but i'll be leaving a bit earlier, otherwise i'll get stuck with horrid seats on the plane, and that's the last thing i want!
it still hasn't quite sunk in yet that i'm leaving tomorrow.. mainly because i'm still a little worried that there's work i haven't done yet. hopefully i won't hear from the office too often though!

work was alright.. could have been better..but housemate c made my day when she bought me a lovely pair of shoes as an early birthday present.. thank you hon :)
i'm so excited about melbie i didn't realise how close my birthday was till cindy said she'd buy the shoes for me! it's just 3 more days now.. i'm starting to convince myself that i'll end up wanting to stay there instead of coming home!

*dances around*four more days four more days four more days four more days!
can you tell i'm a happy camper?
in just four more days, i'll be back in the burnt brown land of australia, soaking up some sun (hopefully not getting anymore sunburnt) and shopping to my little heart's content (and as much as my even littler wallet will allow!) it'll be 15 days of bliss...

*TADAHHHH*it finally works!
so this is my new layout, with the cutie sandalled feet and all..
my shoulders are sunburnt at the moment..well, they're just really red, but they don't quite hurt.. i'm hoping they'll turn for the better and turn a nice brown colour!
heh!

i met up with janice today, because the two of us were feeling a bit bored.. so we headed off to sixth avenue's cold storage and had some ice cream.. and while we were sitting down chatting, chad walks past! so i run out of the ice cream place and pounce on him (he had that OH MY GOD look on his face, but couldn't say anything because he was on the phone at the time.. it was quite funny actually!) so back into the ice cream place i went to finish off the rest of my ice cream.janice and i then headed to cold storage, and bumped into chad again (is he following me?!) and bought stuff for the little picnic that she's having tomorrow at 8 am.. and to which i've found myself roped into going.. *scratch head* but anyhow, we're walking around picking up stuff she'll need for the picnic, when from around the corner comes my aunty janet!
now i find this quite amusing because even when i go to orchard road, i hardly bump into people that i know.. but somehow everytime i go to the sixth avenue cold storage, i always meet people i know! it's bizarre!
anyway, i digress.. so we're walking through the supermarket when janice realises that her handphone isn't on her anymore.. it's lost somewhere! she starts to panic a little, and runs back down to the car to check if it's there... and comes back up looking very upset and sad. so we go to the checkout counter to pay for the things, because she wants to track down her phone as fast as possible.. i offer to go back down to the car while she's waiting to pay to have another look.. so off i go, wandering down, i unlock the car, open the passenger side door, and there's the phone sitting on the seat! i laugh to myself and shake my head, and go back upstairs to the checkout counter where janice is still waiting in line. it's taken me all of 2 minutes to find her phone, and she's panicked for all of 10 minutes already!
needless to say she was quite grateful to get her phone back.. that is until we got back into the car and she realised that in her panicked state she'd forgotten to buy pasta for her pasta salad!
*shakes head and laughs again*
so off we went to holland v, because we didn't quite want to go back to that cold storage..
there we are at holland village, and we decide since we're there we'll just walk around, but not to forget to buy the pasta at the end of it.. we don't have much time though, because janice has to go to the airport to pick up some friends.. and so we do a quick run around the house of lim and then decide to go. janice is about to head off to the car when i say 'oi, pasta!'
she'd almost forgotten again!
i don't know why, but i found the whole day so amusing! and in between we just kept scolding all the drivers on the road..
now that's fun!

okay, i've gone and done it.. some people won't be happy with what i've done, and i'm sure there'll be people who will tell me that it's bad and i shouldn't do it.. but i can't help it. i feel like i'm at my wits' end.what have i done?
i'm ensuring that i have a good night's sleep.. that i won't toss and turn like my bed's made of spikes.. i'm ensuring that i won't have madcap dreams that leave me thinking 'what the..?' when i wake up in the morning..
yes, i took a sleeping pill.
just one, ok!
Sunday, February 16
another week has gone, and sometimes i still wonder where all the time goes to.. it seems to just disappear before i can even realise what's happened. maybe one day i'll wake up and realise that i'm already 40, looking not as good as i used to, and probably feeling the same way i do now.. man! is that all there is to live for? gosh.. maybe i'm going through one of those infamous quarter life crisis.. but i'm not even at the quarter life mark yet!but i do know that there are the little things in life that are a joy.. today i went for foot reflexology with tamara, and what heaven! i've got feet that are constantly giving me problems so i love to pamper them anytime i can get the chance. and hey, who doesn't like to be pampered eh?
haha, the newsreader was just talking about something or other being erected. for some reason i find it really amusing!
ooh, sharon's here for dinner, it's chicken rice tonight! yumm
Saturday, February 15
my shoulders are aching, my back is killing me! oh the curse of having a heavy top and flat feet.. apparently they both contribute to having shoulder and back aches quite abit. it looks like i'm cursed.. CURSED for life! *sobs*i went shopping today with the housemate and managed to find three tops to buy! yay me! now the vicious cycle of having to find bottoms to go with it starts.. then i have to find accessories, bags, shoes, the whole works.. it never ends!
gee, i'm quite dramatic today aren't i?

the girlaway on a cloud she left, with her luggage full to its seams
although away she's gone, in our hearts she'll still stay on
i'm sure the time will quickly pass, and soon back here she'll be
but this i have to say, a friend indeed she'll aways stay
quietly in the background, a pillar of strength for me
her nature so sweet, is always a treat
away on a cloud she left, her sweetness trails behind her
her kind nature was a treat, she never missed a beat
those times we spent together, will live on in us forever
to the glorious life she'll lead, in a country i find so sweet
happy i hope she'll be, in a place so free
memories of us, i hope we'll stay...
my darling friend keryl has left for melbourne... she'll be there for a year and a half which really isn't alot of time.. but it's still time that she'll be away from us! i guess it's that time in our lives where we start moving around, trying to find that niche in life that fits us..
i hope you're settling in well keryl, and i hope that you end up loving melbourne as much as i do :)
Sunday, February 9
i've just watched about 6 episodes of sex and the city, which i haven't seen in such a long time! i used to watch it religiously when i was in melbourne, but alas, satc isn't quite a show that the singaporean censors would like to see shown on our national channels..what a waste! but i do admit, i love all the fashion on the show, even though we all know there's no way a columnist can earn enough money to buy half the stuff that she has. but hey, the clothes, the shoes and the bags are great anyway! you can tell i'm a very typical girl :)after i spent the morning fixing up my blog, i spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning up my room.. we've gotten more floor space back (we being my sister and i, who despite being 22 and 26 still share a not-big-enough-for-all-our-stuff room). i've been meaning to get around to organising my closet again because i'm convinced there are shirts and skirts in there somewhere that i'm sure i can wear again! it's almost as if there's a black hole swallowing up my clothes.. it's always there when i don't want to wear it.. but the moment i decide 'hmm yes, that burgundy kookai skirt, i think i'll wear it!' it disappears. *poof* where does it all go?
"I'm hittin' the road. Maybe I'll drop you a line some day from wherever I wind up in this crazy old world" - Homer Simpson.
who knew he had such great insight (although he was probably drunk when he said it!) for some reason though, i kind of like how it sounds.. so carefree, so liberating!
unfortunately it's monday again tomorrow.. and i can sense a busy week ahead..
so i tried to put in a new layout, and that didn't quite work.. i took an old layout that i did, and changed the colours about.. but then it ended up being pretty boring..
so back to this one i am, but i've added more links and things like that, that should keep me happy for a while! i've finally added lots more people to my lnks of blogs, people i should have probably added a long time ago! i'm so sorry guys that it took me this long, but stand up all of you, and take a bow! *grins*
Saturday, February 8
i think i'm just going to have to stick to this layout for a while, because all that fiddling about with html codes is driving me slightly insane!i've just come back from my aunty's place, where she had her usual lo-hei thing - herd everyone to the front of the house to see the lion dance, herd everyone to the back of the house for the yusheng, herd everyone to anywhere else so they can set up the tables for the food, then herd them all towards the food when it's set up. it's no wonder i always feel like a sheep afterwards! to tell you the truth, i've always hated gatherings like these.. you just end up sitting around waiting for things to happen. it probably doesn't help that i find most of the little kiddies quite annoying as well, so i end up hiding in a corner wondering when it'll all be over. it definitely doesn't help that my grandma keeps trailing me and my mom (oh sorry, my mom and i) whereever we go.. it's almost like having a stalker!
my dad got into an argument with my grandma on the way home because she tells people that she exercises half an hour a day on the bicycle machine. which, of course, she doesn't. but she also tells people that she goes to church a few times a week, which of course, she doesn't either. so i guess the worst that could happen is that she's unfit and goes to hell. oh well. i guess my grandma's that sort of person, she likes to tell people things, and she assumes that we're all idiots and we won't question what she says, that we'll all just nod and go 'oh yes yes, you are so right!' puhlease, we're not morons you know.
*sigh*
what a family i have.. if only there was more to life than this! i mean, surely there must be?
blogger hates me, i swear! i've been trying to change the layout and i've never ever had so much trouble with it before.. so i had to put the old one back while i try and figure out what the @#$)*#!!@%#@#)$( is wrong with the other one! argh!
i tried to put in a new layout for my blog, but it all went horribly awry.. so i guess this one will have to stay a little longer..
sigh! this is what happens when your fingers get itchy to change things about!
melbie counter: 21 days exactly! this time 21 days from now i should be in an airplane on my way to my second home..
i can't wait :)

my head feels like it's been in a cloud.. or a fog.. oh, you know what i mean! a day just doesn't seem to feel like a day, like 7 hours of sleep doesn't seem to feel like 7 hours of sleep..and lately i've been having some very vivid dreams. the only problem is that i can't seem to remember them once i wake up.. i think it's because i get woken up rather abruptly by my mom (she's my alarm clock..) every morning. if only i could remember what i was dreaming about, then maybe i'd figure out what my subconcious is trying to tell me, i'm sure there must be a message somewhere within all those dreams..i seem to have a lot of things on my mind that i want to say..but i can't seem to find the concentration or the energy to let it all out..
hmm.. am i getting old already?

song of the month.. so far!She Is Love - Oasis
When the sunshine beckons to ya/ And your wings begin to unfold/ The thoughts you bring/ And the songs you sing/ Are gonna keep me from the cold
And if a soul is hidden among ya/ And it's words may will my soul/ You can fill me up with what you got/ Cos my heart's better keeping old/
She is love/ And her ways are high and steep/ She is love/ And I believe her when she speaks/ Love/ And her ways are high and steep/ She is love/ And I believe/ I do believe her when she speaks
And When all my thoughts of passion/ And the dreams of my delight/ Whatever stirs my mortal frame/ Well You keep it warm at night/ I don't know where you come from
And no I haven't got a clue/ All I know is I'm in love/ With someone who loves me too
She is love/ And her ways are high and steep/ She is love/ And I believe her when she speaks/ Love/ And her ways are high and steep/ She is love/ And I believe/ I do believe her when she speaks
She is love/ And her ways are high and steep/ She is love/ And I believe her when she speaks/ She is love/ And her ways are high and steep/ She is love/ And I believe/ I do believe her when she speaks
I do believe her when she speaks/ I do believe her when she speaks/I do believe her when she speaks
awww, it's such a beautiful song that i've been listening to it over and over again.. i think if any guy ever played that song and said it was a song that was meant just for me, my heart would just melt! yes, i guess i am just a hopeless romantic, despite the fact that i don't feel i believe in love anymore.. there was a time when i thought that love could solve everything - it made you feel well.. loved, and wanted, and that no matter what happened at least there was one person out there who believed in you, supported everything you wanted to do, everything you dreamt of doing..
maybe it still can, i just have to find it again...
yes, i guess i am just a hopeless romantic.. i watched hero today, and just about cried at the love between broken sword (an extremely handsome tony leung) and flying snow (maggie cheung) (alright, so the names aren't quite the most awe-inspiring, but hey, that's not the point). if i ever had a love like that, there's probably nothing else i'd want from life.
all i want, is to be happy. that can't be much to ask for.. is it?
(and to continue on, i loved the movie. i thought it was a beautiful story, with wonderful cinematography.. i know there are some people that are a bit divided over loving it and hating it, but i admit i loved it. the subtleties and the rich colours brought to life a story that was steeped in meaning and emotion... alright alright, i'll stop going on about it.. it's just a cinema student thing!)
Monday, February 3
ahhh chinese new year is over.. well the official public holiday is over, so technically that means all the visiting and what not is finally done! *phew*but i do admit that this cool weather has made the chinese new year eating and visiting and general torture alot easier to bear.. i've had quite a bit of fun with my sister, trying to trick everyone! we were at a family friend's house, talking to these bunch of uncles that we'd never met before and because my sister and i are quite affectionate with each other, they started getting a little worried..
'are they two of you sisters??' they suddenly asked.. 'yes of course we are!'
'ohh but you don't look alike..'
my sister and i look at each other, 'don't we?' and we grin at the same time..
and i whisper to my sister later on 'maybe the next time someone asks if we're sisters, we should say that we're twins! they'd be sooo freaked!'
hahahaha! i guess we really can amuse ourselves when we want to!
but i've definitely eaten way too much, so the rest of this week will be detox food all the way..
oh, and tamara, no more shots, and no more jugs yeah? *winks*
here's my friday five slightly delayed:
1. As a child, who was your favorite superhero/heroine? Why?
hmm, i quite liked wonder woman for a while! but i've got a soft spot for batman.. you just can't go wrong with those cute pointy ears! and at least he's got the decency to cover his face when he's wearing his underwear on the outside!
2. What was one thing you always wanted as a child but never got?
an older brother!!!
3. What's the furthest from home you've been?
japan? or beijing, whichever is further.. unless melbourne is further than that!
4. What's one thing you've always wanted to learn but haven't yet?
scuba diving.. i just can't seem to find the time!
5. What are your plans for the weekend?
it's chinese new year, so lots of eating, lots of sitting around! although i did go out last night with tamara (see above comment to her!) but generally ALOT of eating!
Sunday, February 2
i've eaten wayyyyy too much, as usual!oh the curse of chinese new year..
and i don't think today's going to be any more different!!
more updates later, going out for more visiting again today..
Saturday, February 1
argh, now i remember why i don't recall many chinese new years very fondly.. after the first three hours all i want to do is go home because i'm full, and i'm tired.. and sitting around waiting for my pain in the ass father is the worst sort of torture you can put anyone through.*sigh*
i'm about to fall asleep at the computer.. the good news is that i've stopped tossing and turning in bed.. the bad news is that now i've been having really vivid dreams each night that seem to keep me 'awake' at night so i still feel like i'm not getting any proper sleep..
argh!
alright, one day down, another two to go..
oh help me god!
about me
i'm 24, a pisces, working in a magazine, sitting back and watching life go by.
i love escaping into movies and magazines, and most of all my friends.
but for now just relax, life will happen when it happens.
