just had to say something here

almost done packing for my trip to Aussieland tomorrow.
looking forward to good times! with you, again :) i hope it's not the last.

see you in a week!
i know you’ll miss me. hehehheh.

my mother

its not what you do for people
but how you communicate with them.

i hate staying at home, and a large part of the reason is you.

it’s virtually impossible to start a conversation with you without you flaring up by the 2nd sentence, regardless of topic.

yes, you keep the house spick and span and all
but i would appreciate a mother who communicates in any other way rather than inane screaming and slamming furniture
who cares if she does zero housework?
at least i can count on her not to throw a fit within 5 minutes in her presence.

Azur Buffet

    

 

looks yummy, right?
this cost us $40.50nett per person.
feel cheated :(

they say you get 50% off with a DBS/POSB card if you have 2 pax
but who knew that if you’re in a group of 8 pax, you can only use that offer once within your group!
and you can only split the bill in two for one table.
if we knew, we would have sat at different tables :(

but anyway, i had a good time.
more good food tonight, i think.
woohoo! :)

Google Wave

ooh, looking forward to this.
let the wave take over! :)

it’s a looong video, so watch it only if you’re free.

mid November already!

half a month gone,
half a month of being jobless!
about time for an official update, huh.

so here goes…

i’ve been out and about almost everyday, meeting friends and catching up with different people, some of which i haven’t met in a long time.
and it always ends on the same note- let’s meet up again soon.
i hope it actually materializes, as it so often seems otherwise.

finally finished reading the twilight series and it was definitely a good read.
my favourite of the series is Breaking Dawn, but it’ll be a super long wait for the movie, if there is one.
now i need more good books for my bus/mrt journeys wherever.
can i borrow Marley & Me, or Time Traveller’s Wife from anyone?

been watching a lot of movies too- a lot, in my standards.
never used to watch an average of 2 movies in 2 weeks.
let’s see what have i got so far: 500 Days of Summer, My Sister’s Keeper, Poker King, My Girlfriend is an Agent & Paranormal Activity.
looking forward to more :)

also, i’ve been following Vampire Diaries.
needless to say, ian somerhalder is so divine and paul wesley really pales in comparison (although he does grow on you eventually).
and i’m not just watching it because i’m bored, or because ian is in it.
the story is actually quite good and leaves me begging for the next episode every time.

don't know why the tagline is so cheesy.

and out of boredom, i’ve also started following 海派甜心, starring Xiao Zhu and Rainie. not bad lah, very funny and entertaining. :)

click to watch the 1st episode on youtube!
 
i think i should already have gotten started with the guitar by now
but the internet gets the better of me all the time.
am still behind schedule for some things/work i set myself to do on the computer
but there are always random distractions like msn, facebook, blogs etc.
so the guitar has been made to wait. i’m sorry, dear.

i’ve been telling myself to wake up before noon, and so far, i’ve disappointed myself twice. only? or already?
haha, i don’t know.
but i do know that being jobless gets you sucked into a vicious cycle of sleeping late, then waking up late because there’s nothing much important to do most mornings.
not so healthy, i say.
i need more self-discipline.

speaking of healthy, i’m starting a running regime.
up for 2 weeks now; hopefully it lasts.
self-discipline again!

so that’s what i’ve been doing.
what’s coming up?

my awesome travelling adventure starts next week!
heading for the gold coast down under next friday, 27 nov (already!)
gonna be gone for a week,
then off for starcruise over the weekend of 4 – 6 dec.
and then kl/cameroon highlands 9 – 12 dec
and perhaps chongqing china some time after that.
i’ll be around for christmas! :)
and off to shanghai china again, 27 dec for a week.
hopefully cambodia in january is still on :)

woohoo! wen is a happy girl!

hao ren, huai ren

i'm beginning to think that humans really do exist in these two forms.
perhaps its not as distinct as what we see in tv shows;
and i truly believe, that in most cases in real life, the huai rens aren't all that huai as others make them out to be.

have you ever considered the following:

the true reasons of intentions behind actions- like a mother caning her child, her very own flesh and blood... at this age, we all know that's out of concern of a mother wanting her child to learn from his mistake. we probably never believed that when we were young. and the same thing applies here- we don't know why some people do the things they do. perhaps they're misunderstood, or they don't know how to express themselves in ways that people can comprehend and accept?

the extent of putting their personal benefits before others- which human doesn't fend for themselves or want the best for the ones they love? but how far would they go? would they inconvenient others, or even harm others, so that things would go their way, whether its a trivial or serious matter?

the process of getting to your final destination- when it turns into an obsession, you forget what the chase was all about. you're overwhelmed by the progress, enticed by money and power. you forget what you really wanted at the beginning of it all.

we all need reminders now and then.
even being a human, we need to check and review ourselves from time to time so make sure that we're on track.

most people are oblivious to this.
but when they become aware, and when you do justify what they’ve done, don't they deserve a chance?
but then again, how would you know that they would turn over a new leaf?
do they realise that they've been the huai ren before and do they want to become a hao ren?
or they simply can’t be bothered?

karma should not exist to make people suffer
but to make people learn from their past mistakes so that they avoid committing them again.

it's a pity it doesn't seem to work this way.
i honestly hate to see people's ignorance or refusal to see that they brought some things upon themselves, but blame it on other people or luck.

god really does work in mysterious ways.

McDonalds

If you wake up to a happy sound
Yummy yummy yum, yummy yum yum yum
The rockin’ hot cakes are comin’ around



honestly i don't remember ever seeing this on TV, but too cute? right? :D

500 Days of Summer

The more I think about the show, the more I like it. :)
Don’t go on reading if you don’t want spoilers.

Not your typical fairytale, but still, it ends on a happy note.

Life isn’t fair, love isn’t fair.

You think you met the love of your life; everything’s going great but she just doesn’t feel the same way for you.
It’s as if she was complete on her own, and you can only hope you could be the one closest to her heart.
And then, she meets the love of her life, the missing piece of puzzle that nobody thought existed.
And you can’t help but wonder what was wrong with you that wasn’t perfect for her, when you were so great together?
There’s no reason nor explanation, just love, or the lack of it.

It’s sad, and it sure does hurt, but Autumn will come :)

retired
