Captured Memories

Christmas merrymaking

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 06:54:16 GMT

a little late this year, but Christmas decorations are up!

I did not celebrate my 21st on a yacht

Sat, 12 Dec 2009 07:22:43 GMT

:( my parents' response was, 'you pay half the rent of the boat. OK? *big smile*

But nevertheless! I had awesome possum friends and family who made my day a little bit more special :) the boyfriend tried (but failed) to surprise me by planning on showing up at my doorstep 4 hours in advance, along with a Mighty Mouse freshly baked from Machines huhu! and talk about disappointing me by saying 'sorry ah. no presents this year, so busy and there's nothing to buy in Seremban'. I had plenty of smses from friends, some all the way from crocodile land wishing me happy 21st at midnight Msian time! *blows kisses!

my mama also bought me a pair of maryjane heelssssss :D something I've alwayss wanted but am kedekut to splurge all that money on 1 pair of heels.

I larf larf larfff them!

This is my dad's sms, imported wholesale from my inbox, no rhymes, no embellishments, no adjectives :P The slightly rojak english makes it all the more endearing:)

Happy 21st Birthday. Now you reach your adulthood, it means u r independent now, it means u r on your own. it means end of allowance. Heahaha. Best wishes from Pa Ma.

When he was taking this picture he hollered to his housemate: 'come see! I making porn.'

here's a quick update!

1. Uni life's overrrrrr :( Gone are the days of theories and philosophical debates on existentialism - yay. Gone are the 4-month long holidays that turn us into complete amebas. We can no longer be parasitic bums (unless of course you can leech off a multi-million inheritance for the rest of your life) If not, WOE TO YOU. :(

2. Contrary to not being a slave of postmodern capitalism (haha), I have now officially joined the hundreds of thousands others on a job-hunting craze. I'm constantly thinking of ways to escape the nine-to-fives and here's ma plan :P

- Teach music (preferably at a montessori or even a music school) which would probably occupy accumulatively about 2 days each week.

- The online blogshop shall of course continue to bring me some income (hopefully in time we would have so much business we could venture into opening a shop, then maybe more Parsealed branches) -> wishful thinking doesn't hurt haha

- to continue doing some freelance writing, hopefully

- Since our Khoo chili (no kidding!) has garnered some awesome reviews from friends and relatives alike who have expressed their interests to buy bottles of these home-made goodness :P, I shall spearhead our very own AhMa-Khoo chili (branding may subject to alteration haha), since the recipe is passed down by my grandma. And with some strategic branding and marketing, these will prove indispensable to every household, and our advertisements will be so successful consumers shall write in their grocery lists to stock up on "AhMa-Khoo"!! nyaahahahahaahahaahaa. ahaaha. haha. ha.

So anyways! Here're some pictures with my awesome gorgeous girlfriends! ❤ ❥❦❣⼼ (wooh,look at the variety of heart shapes!Mac is awesome! ❤)

chilling @ Werner's!

the big slacker

not only did I watch two movies on the eve of my first paper (not to mention spending an hour grooming my nails - I have never spent so much time on my nails before I swear!) I figured it was about time I removed the badly scratched and chipped red nail polish I've been shamelessly sporting for ehhhhh about 2 weeks or so. hehe. hehehe. heh.

I've even fished out the archaic P.S. I love you by Barbara Conklin to leaf through it again! (and no not the recent one with hunky Gerard Butler on the cover). I remember reading it during my early teens (hey I'm still a teenager! I've not even reach the big 2-1 okay!) and thinking how cool it would be if the initials of my future boyfriend's name could so stylishly be embedded in a phrase like P.S. I love you. (in the book P.S. stands for Paul Strobe ie. the bf and Palm Springs ie. the place she met her bf)

So:
P.S. - Paul Strobe
P.S. - also Palm Springs

P.S. I love you = Paul Strobe/Palm Springs I love you.

haha.

easy peasy lemon squeezy.

her boyfriend died of cancer in the end so the phrase's double entendre is doubly meaningful. And poof, my childish longing for a boyfriend with cool initials vanished just as I read that he died.

So! This book must be older than me! and I did google it. BEHOLD, publish date dating back to 1981!

Anyway, here's some super duper buper outdated pictures from Monash Ball.

Farah Khan!

I've a paper tomorrow, and then I'd be able to relax for 2 days or so before I start preparing for my last paper which is a week from now! :D hehhe. yes I know. guilty as charged.

Where did my holiday go?

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 10:19:11 GMT

It's mid-semester break and I'm still inundated with assignments! I've got a 2500 word essay on global governance, and another 500 words on pure experimental writing :( (procrastination goes a long way cry cry) So while I'm in the midst of cramming, here's some pictures on Wei's room in Seremban. I WILL FINISH GLOBAL GOVERNANCE BY THURS! yes, I can!

before:

you could surely see remnants of the previous tenant on the wall?

green curtains, the horror!

hurhur. it went swiftly into the bin.

we gave the room a fresh coat of paint. the orange doors were also painted over with dark brown

Ian's cupboard!

about 40% done:

as we got to the window trimmings, we got lazy. haha.

the door's dark brown!

wootwoot! wei's room could be an Ikea showroom.

aaanddd.... right about now:

So there. I'm thinking more greens!:P

i. am. swamped

Oh boy. Look what I found in the many hours I spent doing nothing on ze laptop.

heeh, not that I'm getting married anytime soon but I love the minimalist gowns by Lara Helene. How come we only see stiff gawdy organza things in Malaysia?

techie rant

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 11:46:20 GMT

I've been wanting to post pictures of my recent trip to Broga but MY DESKTOP WENT KAPUT! DEAD! FINITO! :( The harddisk died on me sniff so now we're having to buy a new one and hopefully salvage as much stuff as we can. sigh.

Meanwhile.... check out my newest sublimest awesomest (no such word, I know) additions to my modest compilation of tech gadgets!

I'm feeling extremely jakun-ed as I even had to google the keyboard shortcuts to copy and paste. But nevertheless, I'm loving the excellent graphics and colors!:)

I'd also always wanted a smaller camera (which takes reasonably good pictures!) so I can carry it around easily as the S2 is quite inconvenient to lug around. And here it is! It was a gift! *skips!

I am extremely pleased with the pictures, even with the flash considering it's just a point-and-shoot. You'll see an influx of pictures from now since I'll be documenting all the mundane errands and activities hurhur!

And before I go I shall promote Parsealed again. Updated with pretty day dresses! :P

whee!

me iz happy.

while I can dream

above title stolen from a girl's tattoo lol

Imagine being an old lady with a tattoo on your back: "While I can dream..." o.O

Wouldn't it make you look sad? Doesn't it raise the reply: Oh, your days are numbered. Poor thing.

andd I shall celebrate my 21st on a yacht!

:o)

I've been extreeeemely busy lately. Business is good (wouldnt mind if it was better haha) We're having to restock, which is always a good sign :) I'm taking up piano again, this time to complete my diploma after taking a break for 1 and a half years. (I can do it! Yes I can!) I've heard horror stories of having to perform to 4 examiners for your diploma? -_-"

But nevermind that! I've recovered from a bout of fever and flu, but only to have cough plague me after. Meanwhile, I'm also doing some freelance writing for a property developer and IT HAS BEEN MY SOURCE OF STRESS I TELL YOU! not that it's particularly hard or anything. just knowing there are expectations and my need and want to deliver. on top of that, I am taking Contemporary Fiction which requires us to read 1 postmodern novel a week! AND POSTMODERN NOVELS ARE NO COFFEE TABLE BOOKS! *grumbles*

so yeah. I now have this crazy idea to celebrate my 21st on a yacht.

now I just have to look for one...
