These late nights made me a little more emo than usual.

Re-read my 2006 first few entries.. so i see. i had a great start.
didnt realise it's close to a year. i'm still as immature as ever. but i've learnt to live with it. haa

the entries got me thinking. i've grown, in age but not wisdom.
and most times, i seem to make more sense in the past.. not to mention my beliefs.. lolx.. how i stand by them. not that i dont now, but they seem to matter more then.

so.. i stated very clearly that blogging isnt sharing coz it's one-way communication. then i continue to post stuff that i think i want to share. geez.. guess life's just one contradiction after another.

2005 is even more incredible. i posted a quote i saw in HTM's office.
so here it is again:
[You cannot change the direction of the wind, but you can adjust the sails]
so choose your own destiny.

yeap. 2005 is the year of the tsunami. so 2 years after that disaster, i sit at the same spot in the comfort of my home, typing away and thinking this must be a joke. yeap. Life's a big fat joke.

Hohoho... Xmas is over..

Did the ultimate slacking this festive season. No work, no commitment, minimal activities.. lolx..

My Dad gave me the funniest present ever (besides the pink cat without a mouth)..

this year has been a great year. Xmas always signifies the end of a year and the beginning of the next. This year has truly been a good one, with lessons learnt, fun enjoyed, sadness felt, and memories renewed. so BRING IT ON 2007!!!

A crazy thought got ran over yesterday.
Told my mom it's aint too bad an idea to lose my phone once every 2 years or so.. This saves me the need to ever go through the list in the phonebook to 'decide' whether to delete it or not.

Went through the process of clearing my cupboard, dust and all.
Threw away so many stuff that i treasured years back but meant nothing now. boxes, boxes and more boxes. Reminisces... ... saw the stuffed toys my dad got me when he went to Japan when i was in Primary school. I told him i want my melody, the pink rabbit under Sanrio creation. and it was the first time he came back with gifts for me.. yeah. FOUR HELLO KITTIES.. so i asked him in what way is a cat similar to a rabbit. anyway, they are gifts that make me smile, even till now. and to me, the BEST gifts are those that make me smile.

told my mom the story of the 3 boxes. my story of the 3 boxes. then i overheard her telling the same story to my aunt over the phone. lolx..

the story goes like this....

whenever u pack, you need 3 boxes (can substitude with big plastic bags).
the first box contains- Things that you definitely want
the second box contains- Things that you definitely want to get rid of
the third box contains- Things that u dunno whether to keep or not but are quite unwilling to throw away.

After sorting out, keep the first box, make sure the second box and its contents disappear, and stash the third box in the storeroom or under your bed.
When the next clearing day comes, throw away the 'third' box and whatever that's inside and begin with 3 boxes again.

Freud's theory somehow plays a part, with his Id, Ego and superego stuff and the conscious, preconscious, subconscious and what not.. You see, contents in the third box are things that you dunno whether you want or not.. it lies in between the treasure vs trash line. Hence, anywhere between the time of the first clearance and the next, whenever you 'think' of an item, you will definitely 'dig' it out of the third box, thus changing its status from nil to something. For other stuff that you dont even recall having or have totally forgotten ever owning, it doesnt matter if they're not yours now or in future. throw them away or donate to charity. dun let it clutter your living space. it doesnt matter now, or ever.

I apply my theory of the 3 boxes everytime i do clearance. and it has always worked perfectly. so there. Good things are meant to be shared.

Extracted my LAST wisdom tooth today, all thanks to my mom who suggested it.

It saved me 350 bucks!!! the amount the SCHOOL dentist quoted minus the actual price i paid in a PRIVATE clinic.

I refused to take any painkillers, and stubbornly ate curry fish head and tang yuan for dinner right after the operation, when half my mouth was still recovering from anesthetic. When i extracted the left wisdom tooth, it was the mooncake festival and i had da bing right after the operation. So today i wonder, what is the limit of my tolerance level.

Like i always say, painkillers are the drugs for a better today but horrible tomorrow. you only take it when you have one foot into you-know-where.

Told the dentist i want it out ASAP. yeap. call me crazy. right BEFORE xmas. then again, my body never really fail me. or so i choose to believe. so let's just say i'm optimistic abt the future.

I remembered posting one entry regarding my wisdom tooth, saying that the right out is out to get me coz i got out the left one. HAA.

anyway, random thoughts...

Love the weather. i have no idea how many times i must emphasize that. So my bro told me that only emo people love rainy days. well, i take that as a compliment.

it certainly matches the season. cool, special. well, thank god i dont have to work. imagine dragging out of bed at 7 to prepare for work when you can stay snug in bed till noon. that's indulgence. the ultimate festive indulgence.

Embracing change this season.

Plans for a better tomorrow.

Spent the say at IKEA Tampines. Love the place. love walking randomly in search of wants. love walking randomly in search of wants in a nice environment with the rain roaring outside.

met Daryl on the way back. He was talking about the 5 years ago stuff.. yeap. 5 years ago... let's just say some meories are meant to be forgotten.

felt like singing 'santa claus is coming to town' at the top of my voice.. the christmassy feel.

anyway, read an article and it mentioned about those with shiny red nose sit at home on christmas with tissue on one hand.. lolx..

okie. i need to come up with a shopping list to kick start my xmas shopping. then again, i need to curb my spending coz i'm not earning money fast enough. let's just hope the weekends turn out fine.

took a pic with a girl whom the whole revenue dept says look like me. or rather, i look like her. then, both of us disagree. well, saw her in person. have yet to see the pic. let's just wait..

Cuzzie's wedding on Sat and the dinner on Sunday at Orchard hotel. The bride and bridegroom looked picture perfect! I wasnt involved in the Sat celebrations coz *long story*...

anyway, the dinner wasnt too bad. the servers for my table all look alike! the couple was soooo sweet i cannot tahan. after the yum seng thingy, we cousins crowd ard for 2nd round of toasting. they say yum seng 3 times each round has a significance and i've forgotten all except the 3rd one. it means zhao sheng gui zi.. so for that 3rd toast we yummmmmm for very long.. coz they're trying for a baby with the piggy zodiac.. great! let's just hope the baby's born in the Libra horoscope too! hee~

really. this is the PERFECT season to get married.

for this season, i did some changes. coloured my hair again, tried brown base with orange (warm orangey color. perfect hint with candle light. not the orange gobstopper orange k! lolx..) highlights all over and purple highlights on my fringe only. i'm only worried about the purple highlights coz she bleached it before dyeing. that means when the color fade, it'll turn my hair to crap. but then, who cares. i'll just let it grow back.

starting anew with colors in my life brings back some level of confidence. u know u really was in a really distasteful phase in life when u experienced the feeling of confidence boost, sudden happiness or reduced negative moods. it's as if that is not the kind of life worth living. with that, i can say i feel good at all times, even when i wake up in the morning with a big zit. i am pretty, pretty confident. lolx. when u feel good, things fall nicely in place. i can feel myself glowing, glowing, glowing... glowing like a candle in the dark... maybe becoz u feel good, u want to look good, so that's how one good thing leads to another. and when u feel and look good, a few compliments wont hurt. and compliments are ego boosters.. that will ultimately raise your happiness level.

so see. the magic of colors.

thank god for this magical season. season of love and sharing.

Counting down.

Just 4 more days, 3 more papers, 2 trips to school and i can look forward to 1 wedding function.

I have a million and one thing to do by the end of this year.
I badly need to clear my cupboards, which are filled with poly notes and gift boxes, notebooks and what not.
I need to clean my dresser- half filled with dust.
I need to clean my fridge to sort of try to prolong its life.
I need to search for a new blog skin and do the half-yearly modification.
I need to clear my mailbox.
I need to...
I need to...
I need to...

AND before i start on any of the above NEED-TOs,
I REALLY need to start revising my notes. and damn. that's the only thing i dun want to.
