lucas told me that i shouldn't go all katie holmes. dawn told me that it'll be nice. mom told me that she hates katie's hair in the first place. :(i just browsed through photos jianhao uploaded of the christmas dinner at Hog's Breath. just like dawn promised, it was hilarious. absolutely priceless. i'm sure the videos will be better. jianhao! upload them to youtube please so we bloggers can make marie famous overnight! :))
for the longest time ever, i sat infront of micole laughing at the monitor. slut thought i was absolutely mad. even though i was only looking at still images, i felt every single person's personality jump back out at me. i could imagine their reactions, their laughter, what they'd say, etc. despite feeling wistful, it felt good. because it felt familiar. i knew that even though chorale and i are miles apart, it'd still feel like home when i get back after 7 months of separation. i don't think anything else can replace something so wonderful. i love you guys :)

i was just surfing vc's forums and i realised how much i missed this christmas, especially when micole died for a few days. i'm so glad she's revived today. christmas party sounded great this year, with talks about marie's famous dance. haha. i wonder whether videos will be put up soon :) i'm looking forward to viewing the photos on jiejun's facebook.
i'm hungry :(
it's new year's eve! our first drama practice is tomorrow. i'm a little unsure about this whole drama thing; acting's not my thing man. we're heading over to carl's place straight after econs tut tomorrow. can't wait to meet the gang :)

i've been considering chopping off my long locks for a "katie holmes bob". however, i'm not sure if it's the best choice to take.

i just logged onto facebook using max's computer after being cut off from internet for a few days. micole died. or rather, micole's charger died :(anyway, back to my point. i was just browsing around and saw that siying uploaded a few photos from caroling. it's so nice to see everyone come back for the special day. victorian traditions are really such wonderful things. i hope it never dies off.
i wouldn't deny that seeing all those photos from caroling did give me a sudden pang in my heart. but as much as i miss it all, and am sad that i'm missing my first caroling session as a year 3, christmas this year has been great. i mean, we could all go on about how it could have been better, but really, we should really not forget what really matters. i'm glad that slut and i are here in sydney, having our first official get-away. and i'm glad that i've made new friends over here. christmas this year has been a low-key, small yet warm gathering, with a typical western christmas dinner :)
tonight's our last night in sydney; tomorrow we're driving back to melbourne.
i can't believe how lazy australians can be. they've given themselves a freakin' long holiday that extends from christmas all the way till past the new year. all in the name of celebrations. wtf man. and so, when we reach melbourne, it's gonna be new year's celebrations at carl's place :)
i'm looking forward to seeing my babies again.

there's a certain calm that fills a girl when she looks at blissful photos of gowns, flowers, cakes, rings, and all sorts of things related to weddings. well, it might just be me. but from a long time ago, i've been in love with weddings - not the wish for my own but just the beauty of one. i've even got a library of wedding magazines back in singapore. haha. my obsession with weddings is endless. and i was just browsing Tiffany and Co.'s website and i found the perfect wedding bands :)speaking of Tiffany and Co., i've always loved the brand, greatly due to its brief, albeit significant, association to Breakfast at Tiffany's (i shall not go on about my other obsession with Audrey Hepburn). the signature Tiffany blue is just the perfect shade of blue, which in most times is a rather unattractive colour. i remember that from young, even before i watched Breakfast at Tiffany's, i've referred to this shade of blue as "the Tiffany blue". i think that little boxes of cake in the Tiffany blue (those doorgifts one gives out at weddings) laid out on tables covered with pearl coloured table cloths is such a cute sight. i can never get enough of the beauty of Tiffany and Co., Audrey Hepburn and weddings.
i finally wore slut's christmas present today :)
now, i own a piece of Tiffany. haha.
we went shopping today. boxing day sales were pretty crap. well, i did get some good deals, but way below our expectations. oh well, we still burnt 3 hours walking around in the city trying to spend money. so i guess that's pretty fulfilling.

we officially got out of bed at 3pm today and decided to eat left over ham before heading down to chinatown to look for food (and bubble tea). everywhere's closed! only the chinese-owned shops are open. the aussies really take christmas quite seriously - or it might be yet another one of their excuses to laze. slut decided to bring me to Bondi Beach to take a stroll. we tried so hard to look for a bottle shop but failed miserably so we decided to drive back to the city in hopes of finding one in chinatown. so we took the longest walk ever around Sydney's city and still no alcohol to kill our livers :( this must be a sign.
so here i have photos of Bondi Beach, the graffiti on the walls in the skate park at Bondi Beach, chinatown at night, and the city in the day from my seat in the car.
thank you, BABY.
boxing day is here. and so is the long awaited post-christmas sale :)
sue! come online soon! i miss you already.

we went to Balmoral Beach and Manly Beach today. steven and justin drove us through the city, across the Harbour Bridge to the beaches. i felt so touristy going onboard a ferry that took us from Manly Beach to the city where we had the one of the best views of the Sydney Opera house and Harbour Bridge. everyone started taking out their cameras and gadgets and snapped photos while slut and i just sat there enjoying the breeze and watching the frenzy of the tourists. once we got off the ferry, we took a stroll down to Sydney Opera house and explored the place and its surroundings, including the entrance of the botanical gardens.
we were tourists today :)
we came back home to a busy house where steven's sister was trying to whip up a nice christmas dinner for "the orphans and migrants". haha the rest of us tried our best to help. we had aglio olio for entree, salad with avocado and prawns, a big leg of ham and lots of whin and cocktail. not to mention the carols that went on the background - there was a live telecast of a caroling show on tv. a very filling dinner. and very christmasy indeed :)
in the midst of all the celebration and excitement, i've missed muffy and rory a whole lot. slut called to check on the babies and we found out that they have been running around in our friend's backyard getting all wet in the grass and wrecking havoc back in the house. haha such darlings.
merry christmas everyone!

spent a day driving up to Sydney and we finally reached at 11 plus, close to midnight. unloaded our stuff at steven's place then headed off to the fish market where we had a shit load of seafood man. lobsters, oysters, prawns, calamari, squid and chips. we just had 1kg of prawns back in our room. seafood OD!i just had a go on the weighing scale. i've officially put on 7 kg since i arrived in Melbourne :(
i'm so overweight.
there's christmas eve dinner party tomorrow night - steven's sister is gonna cook :)
alright, i shall go fiddle around with pinkmink now and probably fall asleep. updates tomorrow!

i don't know why i tend to self-evaluate right after a party. is it because i, according to your accusations, always do something or somethings wrong? i really don't understand. thing is, i don't know why i always, supposedly according to your claims, am the only one doing things wrong. i don't know why i don't make a big issue when random girls come up to you and buy you drinks. i don't know why i am able to live with that. sure, it's not to say that i'm comfortable and delighted that other girls are hitting on you, i just live with it. because i don't see why i should make a biggie about it.so i wonder, am i right to judge both issues with the same attitude?
then again, you could argue that circumstances were different.
one: you're a guy and you know how take care of yourself. two: i'm a girl and am usually more vulnerable, especially when i'm in a club all high and might possibly (you think) not remember what happened. three: he put his arm around my waist and even though i pushed him away physically, the fact remains that i walked off with him.
those could be your arguments.
and so, after the accusations have been made, i just lie there motionless in bed and nod. i don't know why i just remain silent and occasionally make attempts to justify my actions. vain attempts, i know. and it's things like these that you throw in my face that trigger my self-evaluation. and i wonder, why don't i have anything to say? why am i doing this? what do i want out of this?
then i realise that i've never wanted so much out of a relationship in my entire life.
i've thought things that i never knew i'd be capable of thinking; i've wanted stuff that i used to hate - i want a boy because it'll bring a smile to my face to see you play with him, i want to stay home and cook and iron your clothes and be a fucking housewife. because of that, it occurred to me that might i be in a position that's truly vulnerable? a single moment could shatter it all - my hopes, my dreamy bubble, my life. i might just wake up one day and there's no one beside me. what shall i do if that day comes? i've never moped. but this time, i think i would sit there, dazed. my life would literally come to a stand still. i realise that i'm more fragile than i knew i was. so, why shouldn't i opt out? why am i subjecting myself to this vulnerability?
the thoughts just came after a harsh good morning from you. i step out into the living room and stand right in the middle looking at the dogs. and there's this mysterious glow from outside - the sky is so beautiful today. the drizzle (which eventually became horrible heavy rain) together with big, fluffy clouds and the city's skyscrapers, make such a nice picture. it's so peaceful. for 15 minutes, i was transfixed on the beauty of the simplicity. and i think, i need time off; i need some time away, some time apart. february will be the best time, since we have no choice anyway.
the rain smells so good.

i have no idea why guys enjoy being so annoying. some things they do are just plain insensitive.honeymoon's over, baby.

honestly, it's feeling pretty shit to me now.

i don't think being snapped at because i talked to you while you were watching a movie is funny or cute. it's annoying and extremely uncalled for. it shouldn't have happened, it's unnecessary and insensitive - flaws of the male species.we really operate on different frequencies.
how unfortunate it is that males and females have to go together.
i woke up and baby was just a darling :)i think i'm going to get a baby gate and lock rory in the toilet and try harder to toilet train her.

my best friend's wedding is the only movie that'll make me tear every time i watch it, regardless of how often i watch it. the simplicity of the movie, the possibility that something like this can actually happen in our lives, the tenderness of it all... :)

life is vaguely empty when i don't go to school or have the need to rush an assignment or feel a strong need to study (need, not want) or have to cook dinner. i just sit around with my laptop or pinkmink paris and play around with ebay or facebook or need for speed - yes i named my DS pinkmink paris.guess what i'm doing now?
all of the above. i've ebayed. i've facebooked. and now i'm about to pick up pinkmink paris and start racing. whoever said need for speed is a guy game.
since i enjoy blogging so much, maybe i should turn it into a career like xiaxue. although i doubt i'll ever attract readers. which isn't really my main purpose of blogging at all. most of the time i just feel a compelling urge to write, not due to the need to exhibit myself to the rest of the world, but because i enjoy articulating my thoughts. i enjoy just putting cloudy images in my head into words, something that adequately expresses what i feel at the moment. i wouldn't call myself a writer, but i'm certainly no exhibitionist. i blog because i like it, not because i need to prove anything to anyone else.
and there're moments when i blog simply because i'm bored and need someone to talk to. sure, i could pick up the phone and call a friend and chat with him/her all night long, or log onto msn and harass kumrad like i do from time to time. but i don't. i guess that having the habit of keeping a diary since primary 4 and blogging since secondary 2 makes a helleva difference. my blog's my best friend now. and i find myself turning to it all the time. maybe because i'm in denial sometimes. like how i, being a typical girl, would ask someone for an opinion and hope to get the answer that's in my head all the time e.g. "should i buy this dress?" - of course the answer is "yes". so why the fuck would i ask the question knowing that i'd buy the dress anyhow? well, i have no idea what word anyone would use to describe that syndrome, but it certainly is a reason why i enjoy blogging. no one to scream no in my face, or to roll my eyes and in turn induce me to want to punch them so hard in the nose. that's me in denial and in lala land :)
know what? i'm going to watch my best friend's wedding for the millionth time now.
maybe i'll decide to blog again after that. haha.
i'm an addict.

back to blogger :)
it feels so good to be back.
blogger will still be my favourite - land of the ah lians, bad english and the teenage life.
i've been using blogger since sec 2. back in the day when we spelt 'come' as 'cum' and used short forms like 'sch'. honestly there are many more embarrassing examples but i just can't remember them.
i feel like i could strangle something or someone now.
what i missed most about blogger was the many nice templates. sure, livejournal does have a pool of nice templates somewhere out there - key word: somewhere.
