2009 Lunar New Year

will be updating this space soon, SOON i say!

HAPPY NIU YEAR!...

okay finally i have completed my Marketing Project! (its a seriously short part for me but i don't know why i'm always so last minute, lazy, slow, and having such bad time management)
Still had some sense of accomplishment though, cause i hadly send my completed work before dued date, usually on the day itself? OMG RIGHT! haha

Back to all the new year period's blogging!

This new year really felt like a new year at first cause i kinda got hooked to blogshopping before christmas and got myself lotsa new clothes! but other than that it was only like 2 to 3 days of new year mood before it all fades off! ARGH why? (Maybe cause mum's away in taiwan and leaving me all alone for this lunar new year? sobs sobs)

DAY 0 of Lunar New Year (eve)

Yea its all the usual process of reunion dinner gatherings! For others they would usually just eat at one place, which is going to the Dad's side for dinner. But for me, since my parents ain't together, i have to go both sides to eat cause my mum is stubborn about the fact that i live with her so i must eat with her side first! Whatever luh, i'm also starting to enjoy both side's relative's company. Kyn is also Growing up alot.


Some photos luh alright... i'll stop the ranting:




End of the Reunion Dinner Day!

Day 1 of Lunar New Year

Went to "bai nian" at my ahma's house first around 12.30pm. All those ang pow taking sessions, Lunch together with my cousins. Its scary to realise how much we've grown throughout these years! OMG OMG. I love them so much as we've been all kinda close since we're young. Miss those swimming times tgt! HAHA. Anw yea the fish and pork ahma added into the soup was damn nice so we kinda got bloated on that! HAHAHA

After that it was second round of day 2, which was following Hui Xuan to her hougang ah ma's place. I am not their blood related relative though they've seen me before and know me. But i was happy going there as it is like CHILDREN GALORE there! haha tiring to handle them but so cute so i didnt really mind. The kids there grew so much in just one year! and there was a new baby girl! Curry there was good too!

End of Day 1 of Lunar New Year!


Day 2 of Lunar New Year

Went to the temple in the morning with Popo and Ka moh. My grandma said it won't be a good year for the Goats this year. (I'm born in the year of Goat) thats why she told me to go to the temple to do some praying to ward of bad luck? Okay i don't see any harm praying for positive reasons so i just went for it!
At night, i Went to Ka Moh's house again and we had Steamboat with Popo around. My Taiwanese aunty makes the best Steamboat ever! YUM YUM~
[Didn't bring my camera along on this day thus no photos]

Day 3 of Lunar New Year

Today is my cousin's Kyn's birthday celebration! In the morning i went to many places, First was going all the way to St nicolas Girls school at yio chu kang to collect the things i bought from a blogshop, next was going bugis to get my "I LOVE NY" tee (quite a dissapointment) not cheap alright. Then next was going City Hall to meet another blogshop owner. Last stop was tiong bahru where i make a new ez-link card as i lost the "old" one. SIGH waste time waste money! I also bought named keychains for kyn's birthday present and one for myself too! and a box of 9 chewy junior donuts for the party but i have to end up finishing it all myself... long story... Ka Moh baked some Vegan almond oreo chocolate Cupcakes and top it up with Mascaporne Cheese! BEST combination ever! omg omg

Photo Flood!

ASHAMED and HELPLESS

Some updates..
What happen lately? Recent Photos? all will be done at a later date! Cause now I would like to take some time to express how i am feeling right now... at the same time, Kinda like jot down an 'apology letter' here?



CHANGE

I know I have bad time management
I know i do not know how to prioritise
I know I am very easily distracted
I am AWARE of all my flaws
I WANT TO CHANGE
I'M TRYING TO CHANGE
maybe no one can see cause
I am not making much of a progress YET
But deep down inside i know
I HAVE TO CHANGE
I WANT TO CHANGE


A note to all my family friends and especially my Project Group Mates: If you guys are reading this, I want you guys to know I'm truly sorry for being sucha constant dissapointment. Constantly not doing my work, giving the group so much problem. Adding burdens and workload to the group. I TRULY am sorry! As i have said i wanna change and i promise i will try my very best! but no one person can change over night! so give me some time. (I felt so ashamed yesterday, I was afraid to face the group afraid the face the world!) Feeling so lost and helpless!

I'M SORRY!
though i know sorry is useless... I shall prove with actions... But time is needed

A song to Express myself now!: Scars (Stronger for life) - Corrinne May

LYRICS

just want to run
Just want to hide away
Close my eyes to your gaze
Just want to leave
Don’t want to hear them say
“You’re no good at this”

When the world swirls with naysayers
Broken wings and torn pages
The road ahead
Drowning in my tears

Break me open
Tear me down
Into pieces
Broken crumbs
On the ground
You can mould and shape me
In your image
Breathe your life
You know I need it
Scars make us stronger for life

Losing myself
Gaining it back again
Forging strength from weakness
All that I am
All that I’m meant to be
Melting in your hand

Let the world swirl with naysayers
Pickled hearts and sour faces
What is real is what I cannot see

Cut away
All within me
That won’t bear fruit
Cut away
All within me

Scars make us stronger for life

SCHOOL REOPENED

School has officially started after the 2 weeks of break, which is kinda short. Its kinda tiring to drag yourself to school as holidays makes oneself really lethargic! Schools alright, Friends and Teachers are somehow the same? Anyway Maria and Mark were really nice to get me a "Christmas Present" from overseas! Am really touched! THANK YOU GUYS FOR REMEMBERING ME


Mark got me a "Donald Duck Door Knob Cover" from Hong Kong, and Maria got me a "Comb with Korean Wordings from Korea!

FLEA @ BIGSPLASH

Had lunch at bedok hawker cause we're kinda on a budget. Went with my girlfriends from secondary school to a flea at BIGSPLASH to hunt for some goodies! got alot of bangles, bracelets, charm, vintage case, picnic basket, waist belts, shades and 2 sequins tank. Rest at KFC for some time as it was really burning at the flea! ANW we are planning to set up a flea to sell away our old and unwanted stuff! will update when and where once we're free! all 4 of us! took long bus rides to Tampines Mall as they still want to shop for shoes. In the bus i bumped into TANZEHUI. I waited at Macs for quite a while as my BUYS are kinda bulky and heavy! went home after that... LILI followed me and to shower and left some things at my place

SOME PHOTOS!

things i got from the flea! as said above! the focus of the last photo is that blue looking charm! i bought it from this stall and they said they got it from turkey and it was some sort of a charm called "magic eyes"? supposedly some kinda protective charm.
