I need to do well this year, in my business, school and relationships. I want to make every experience worthwhile, and that my choices will be lifelong ones. I ought to be more driven, be the initiator and get things moving!
We can do it!

Hello Two Oh Oh Nine.
Hello to more love and less hatred, I think I have successfully fulfilled my 2008 resolution. To aid me in my ongoing dedication to spread the love, you can give me free hugs when you see me! I wish I saw the world in a better light, just like how
colormekatie can..
Well, as always, a list of resolutions (i'm not too late i hope, still within a week and i've been keepin up!) i would try to keep to for the new year.
- Be punctual! Stop thinking everyone else will be late because I always end up being one of the latest.
- Start saving for the future! Have a detailed expense plan!
- Scale greater heights! Build allthingslovely's brand and persevere!
- Be a better designer! Stop doing last minute design work and passing it off as though I've put in effort.
- Start sleeping earthly hours. Retune my body clock for a better complexion!
- Lose the flab. 'Nuff said.
Honestly, 2009 was a great year for me. Great friends, amazing boyfriend, supportive family and a wonderful trip to remember! 2010 is raring to begin! <3

And there we go, just a couple more days and it'll be 2 years. Feels like a lifetime especially with the saga smacked right in the middle of the relationship which just lengthens everything. And the travels too! I remember him telling me how boring a person he is, right at the beginning of the relationship and right now it just seems like bullshit 'cos I've never had anyone else entertain me just as he does :)
So the boyfriend took me out for a quiet dinner @ White Rabbit after my horrendous night of slogging for the Viscom show. I loved the ambience and the little surprises they had for me! Defini
tely a night to remember.
And the following activity is of course compulsory for the birthday girl.. involving tiles and chips. Haha. Thanks to Ting and CW for the cake, <3>
Looking forward to Christmas and 2010.. (too many feasts and too little time to diet!)

6am and I'm furiously hitting the Cmd+S buttons on my MBP, stuffing myself silly with weird tasting tomato flavoured chips and wishing I had more time on my hands. Seriously I'm a bummer and it doesn't help that all deadlines are crammed in one week's time. Not to mention exams. And I'm turning a year older too.
Weekends are so different now, no more waiting spells endless late night mahjongs. Speaking of which, I've been denied of mahjong the past weekend and I'm so looking forward to the coming month of well-deserved holidays. I haven't been watching my weight much and December shall be my test of endurance.
Watch this space!

Always the being eager beaver at the start of things, I just hope the enthusiasm never fades! Looking forward to a whole new dimension.. in many aspects! :) Load of projects to clear.. readings to do.. and getting sick of this paperchase. 1.5 more years to go!

So Halloween came and went. I was on the tour bus with the girls: Wanting, Carmen, Emileen, Kat and Maggie and it was truly a blast! Free flow of Belvedere on the buses and one drink at each club..all for 40bucks! It was money well spent considering the laughter we had..
I have so much work to do and its driving me nuts cos I havent exactly been starting on it! Thank God for the S/U option I have officially one exam to study for. :) Haven't thought of what to do for my 22nd this month end! Choosing from an iphone and a getaway is easy peasy, I'd choose the latter for sure!
Back to my WATER project :(

It's impossible to live a life without regrets and I could only wish for one that's close to having none. I guess sticking with our original plan of making this work is still holding fast...there's so much more to this than what we see! I love allthingslovely and things are going to take off for sure! Don't be disheartened because we're definitely better than that! :)
School is coming to an end and I can proudly proclaim that I've been lazing my balls off the entire semester. Whatever happened to "I can work harder this sem now that ZX is not around school! I can run 3 times a week! I can concentrate on allthingslovely cos there's no more JCRC!" Load of bullshit. I'm still the usual procrastinator and more of an excuse-maker. Everything related to school take a backseat and that is bad. I need my awakening. Real fucking soon.
Been having the best weekends! Back from BKK with Ting and then 2 BBQs in a row. Wish drinking Yakult could help dissolve my fats but apparently it doesn't happen that way. Time to sleep my sorrows away.
Goodnight, world.

I just received a surprise postcard from Yongyi and I'm all smiles! Maybe its the surprise factor but what's really super duper heartwarming is the fact that I have such wonderful friends who are always around, regardless of how far away they are. Another one is Miss Loh who is omnipresent. She is fantastic, and so is her boyfriend. Xinwei.Yekai's new phrase is "Thanks ah...eh..thanks ah..thanks leh Hanni...thanks ah.." X 123045645y76453. What's the crack! Haha. Stupid irish champion. I miss you bitch.
I ain't doing jackshit at school recently. It's worrying but enjoyable. I have quizzes and assignments due the next week but I've been moping my recess week away. Now that it has come to an end I still feel happy gorging my face with mooncakes, hoping that getting fat will stop me from worrying about school. Talking about fat, I've been gaining a tremendous amount of weight I'm starting to look uncannily like a mother whale. My thighs are expanding and they're almost the size of my boyfriend's humongous thighs. Fuck.
Fuck. My usage of profanities have been seriously decreasing. I'm going to BKK again next week and it just reflects how much I don't really give another flying fuck about my third year. I need a little therapy and its a joy to while my time away at massages and Platinum. Great stuff.
I love mahjong. I love my baby nieces.

Shit like this tickles me at 3am in the morning when the BF is fast asleep in my bed and I'm bored to bits because I slept till 1pm today. Damn.

I should start appreciating the kind of love and sacrifice he has for me, there are moments when I've let myself down for being the usual bratty, stubborn slut who can't get over her own ego.
Meantime, here are the few crazy/beautiful people present in my life.
Mr Big! At our cycling expedition.
The lovely Irish shampoo and her slitty-eyed man. Victor's Kitchen!
Mad couple, Wanting and Chyewei. Mahjong partners-in-crime.
Jerry and Carmen! Wedding shots hahaha..
Huifen, Hoho, Kat and Miens. At Tapas O! Missing you Jenni and Lynette.
Special one for the birthday girl.
My little lovely baby Sheylene!
And the not-so-little Sheyenne dear!
I wish every weekend was this long.. Back to school blues, yet again.

Is it evil to wish for someone to die? Rather random but I have this sudden surge of disgust for you.
of whimsical fantasies.
4am and I can hear my dad's snores through his closed bedroom door. Always amazed at how my mum tolerates the grunting at unacceptable decibels.. When ZX snores it's almost like an auto alarm clock for me - I'll wake up just to give him one hard shove and there he goes, all quiet again.
Semester's midway and it's been great so far. Sometimes the loneliness kicks in on nights when he's back home but schoolwork, allthingslovely and facebook keeps me drained enough to fall asleep quickly and unafraid things that go bump at night. But I still do the whole no-drinking-water-after-12am routine, for fear that I'll have to wake up to pee in the middle of the night. Loser.
Am thinking of taking a sabbatical next semester since I've cleared most of my modules. I should start getting a neat internship and get inspired for my FYP. Seriously worries me when I think about post-graduation days. The only time I get excited is when I know for sure allthingslovely is taking a new direction and moving to a new level. Hopefully then I will be a Creative Director! Hahahaa... for my own business. I will be a happy woman.
Tired, adios.

Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
'cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the No's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Love my merbeebee..

Finally back here in truly sunny Singapore, where heat and humidity never fails to piss one off. My honeymoon went well as intended, of course, with our rigorous planning across oceans. And well as you might already know it was, too, peppered with a couple of usual squabbles and bitchfits.. but hey, all's good now.
So we went to a total of six countries together, covering 9 cities namely
Germany - Munich (!), Berlin
Holland - Amsterdam (!)
France - Paris
Spain - Barcelona (!)
Italy - Rome, Florence, Venice (!), Milan
and it was exhausting but definitely worthwhile..so much for his gradtrip and my sneaky holiday.
It's over and a new chapter begins for my love come Monday, hope we'll be able to cope and meanwhile I need to earn some cash for the next holiday! (and pay my dad, too)

Alone for the first night in Vienna.
Vienna is beautiful, apart from the numerous tourist traps just like in any other city. I'm staying in a nice hostel with 7 other girls in the room. I certainly do hope that me coming from a H1N1 stricken city will not deter me from making new friends.. haha.
Skyping with Sinwee and Yao was good fun. I love this blend of friendship. It's 3 of us from 3 different parts of the world reuniting on Skype. Feels like we're talking over a nice warm cup of Teh Cino at Al Ameen on a normal Saturday night.
My hives has been recurring. It's bearable but annoying..I am starting to wonder if it's the beer that gives me such side effects. My anti-histamines are running out and I'm just 58 hours away from seeing my boyfriend. Counting down never felt worse.
So tomorrow I'll be back in Munich. Somehow it feels like home, and seriously if I ever have to relocate, Munich will be a great place to live in. Kinda like the feeling of being alone here..but the city has alot of Turkish people and they always seem to look dangerous. :( Dreading the train ride back as well.
I miss the two little ones :(

It's one of those serendipitous moments that leaves me in awe, having the world passing me by, embraced by a love from miles away yet feeling warm and fuzzy at heart.
Eleven days in Munich and I'm totally following a strict regime of sleeping before midnight and waking up at 7. It feels amazing to gorge myself with vegetables and start feeling healthy. The weather is so fantastic it keep me awake and fresh for long, even the bounce in my step seems amplified.
I love it here, apart from the times when I'm pining for my loved ones. Sausages are good but the pork sucks. Bier ist gut! (Ok that was an understatement). Now I can't wait for the rest of Eurotrip 2009 with the love of my life! Eurotrip 2009 spells Amsterdam, Belgium, Paris, Spain, Italy and Berlin!
That's what keeps me going..

Love.

I'm been busy despite the numerous slacking days that I've allocated over the holidays. I miss my friends who are happily holidaying. Thank God Wanting's back just yesterday.
It's been a year since it cut so deep. I hope I'm over it and I guess I should be happy the way things are now. Oh well.

Xinwei says I'm going to go through what she's feeling when I jet off to Germany. Seriously what will those 26 days without you bring? I will party like there's no tomorrow okay. My boyfriend doesn't read my blog/facebook so it's actually okay to bitch about him. God knows who reads this but hell there are quite some people lurking around the blogosphere.
I don't know if it's just me but I seem be easily annoyed nowadays. Not just quick to anger, but also quick to express my displeasure, be it through speech or action. Enough is enough, we are all old enough to speak up for oneself and speak your mind like you never have. Two cents or not it's just what makes you feel justified.
I'm going back to BP for a couple of days to invigilate and it just gets me all excited! I haven't been to the new premises yet and I just hope that it'll all be familiar once I step in. Next week I'm doing the Imperial Tobacco thingy with Huihua. Seriously need to tune my body clock all over again. It's crazy to sleep at 5 and wake up at 2 daily. My failed weight loss plan is just another nagging reminder to have a better lifestyle.
ZX and I went for a swim today and it was bliss all over again. Despite being the most vulgar person on this face of earth, he is undeniable the sweetest and most accommodating bugger. I always win anyways. Went to my sister's place to our steak dinner and my nieces were super uber cute as always. Yenne is no longer the cranky lil bitch, but a transformed prancing little princess with a supremely high rate of words per minute. She's barely 3 and she spouts an amazing amount of kid gibberish hat can amuse us to no end. The tiny one Sheylene is a darling it makes me want to make Rabbit Babies.
.......
Blessie passed away today. It was so coincidental, considering that ZX and I just finished watching Marley and Me this afternoon which ended up with me sobbing like a sputtering idiot. Blessie was the dog whom Summer gave birth to four years ago, the 3rd of the lot. She was born with her cranium deformed - part of her brain wasn't covered by her skull which resulted in some handicaps. She was a fighter. When Summer was still nursing, the other three would bully Blessie and there was always the massive scrambling for teats. Summer would brush off the trio, Vodka, Princess and Diffy just to feed Blessie..
I remember the day we took her to the vet and she told us Blessie wouldn't last for long. But she did. And she went to a really good family who loved her with all their heart despite her handicaps. Blessie had coordination problems, both in walking and sight due to her birth defects. But she never gave up and she always continued to bring joy to her family.
You'll be remembered dear Blessie, today, tomorrow and always.

Our recent days together has really gotten me super excited about the megatrip. We haven't gone down to ironing out the kinks, but we've been having a fantastic time lounging, moping and slacking of late. It's been almost a year since I've been a manic-depressive bitch and I'm proud that I finally took the courage to take the step to be truly happy.
Yesterday we were taking stocks with Carmen and Jerry. The girls got down to business while the guys hung out. Glad they got along just fine. Baby and I decided to buy lottery for the kicks of it and we ended up betting on soccer too!
We did a shoot at Supperclub today! Finallllly, he's seen how professional shoots are like, guess it's kinda like an eyeopener, PLUS we get a hundred bucks for 4 hours of well-spent boredom being extras. :)
Wanted to head to Hanabi for the buffet dinner but he's got weird stomach upset symptoms for the past few days so we decided to skip the raw fish and went to Aston's instead! So much hype around it yet we haven't had a taste of it 'cos of the snaking queues everytime we're there.. Today we had dinner at like 6 and it was almost full already. Yao talks about Aston's as though it was legendary - truth be told, it was worthwhile for 2 thick, juicy chunks of steaks, sides, starters and drinks included, to cost below 40 bucks. :) We were happy people.
Baby came over to my place after that.. we were going to Taka for some serious shopping but we gave up ad continued the bus ride home. We watched The Prestige, both of us for the 2nd time, and it was really and incredibly wonderful show. Two days ago we watched Marley and Me till the LAST 15 minutes and we had to get outta the house. I already know Marley died and it's going to get all emo and sad. Zzz. Wonder how I'll cope when my sister's six dogs start expiring...
I've officially moved out of hall. Not that my room has always been occupied, but I really did have a helluva stuff to move out! Reminds me of the time when I moved out of my previous room with a truckload of stuff. Like seriously, I am a junk collector like my mum is. She has a whole room of stuff, not to mention her already full storeroom. It's horrible cos she keeps irrelevant, useless shit that she cannot bear to throw away. So right now I have all the stuff that I've moved home lying in my living room and I'm drowning in all that clutter.
Allthingslovely has been stagnant but I'm so uber excited for the slew of updates that will fill the space! Gosh it's been just three months and it feels like a long time. Thanks to my lovely girls - Wanting, Carmen and Jayne!
And here's something random, a conversation I had with my sis just minutes ago at 4+ am..

Shit like this tickles me at 3am in the morning when the BF is fast asleep in my bed and I'm bored to bits because I slept till 1pm today. Damn.
