1 Prince

Going by that title, it's pretty easy to guess what this is about..

I only need 1 Prince in my life, and I'm quite happy to announce that this recent acquisition of mine is a rather handsome and seemly one too.

Only went out with my Prince about twice or thrice so far, and I have yet to regret it. Still trying to really get the feel of things together, it's always the hard part. But it's rarely smooth-sailing when you first start out, so no complaints there, I'm 1 happy girl.

in fact, if you want more details, I'll be happy to oblige. Oh joy.
it's O3 Hybrid. Fierce in Black and Green, this is my new Prince.
I'm one happy squashy :)

Ever since then, I haven't blogged. which says quite alot about me I guess.
been 2 years since I graduated, and I feel like I haven't done much in my life. Cleared off some cobwebs, accumulated somemore. Re-arranged the priorities in my life, the people I need beside me and somehow, still managed to get lost along the way.

I still have my impt girlfriends, my siblings, my family. It's a different guy now, and things are going swimmingly well. I can't change the things that's gone past, I can't re-do my education. Oh well.. can't blame anyone except myself really.

I'm just glad that my tripadvisor has all the HKD I'll ever need :)

Saturday, December 12

Just a lovely Saturday morning, when all is calm and serene. Suddenly thought of Linkin Park's In The End. A poignant song with a message to say, not exactly the same as what I am, but still a good song. Really feel very sorry, but I stand strong on my view that things are better this way.

Time to gather my wits about me and push on in other aspects of life.

While I did intended to whine about the depressed state of my laptop (and me) with that annoying Windows Loop virus that has yet to be resolved, I found something of greater interest to write about. It's actually rather trivial, yet it's something that I have tolerated for years.

Haircuts.

Now, don't get me wrong. I relish haircuts like the rush of sensation when gulping down an icy h2o after an amateurish bout of badminton. Incidently, it's not the result I abhore, it's the Process of it. Not the snipping, not the shearing.. it's the SHAVING.

Let me explain why:

I will absobloodylutely stiffen whenever the electric shavers at the hair salons is within a 15cm radius of my mop. The sound is just so piercingly whinny that try as I might, I can't block it out. It gets worst. Oh, trust me on that. When it's just used to skim the edges off my thick mop, I'm already skittishly skimmish and would invariably fidget. Except that I would shut my eyes and control myself.

And. The dreaded high-pitched buzzing approaches nearer my ear. Already intolerably difficult not to fidget, the intense moment arrives when the sharp-razor edged equipment is drawn tightly down on my hair until it scraps my skin. And Over and Over again it is pressed down against my naked skin.

THAT. is usually when I am unable to suppress myself, and I will shiver at random intervals whenever the shaver is drawing upon the nape of my neck or head, against the skin. ugh.

Having had my haircuts in M'sia since a kid till leaving primary school, my memory of childhood haircuts were of 93.3 chinese voices battering over the shop, with loads of hair snipping, hair dryers bellowing away and electric razors being snapped on by non-too-tender hands and set upon a kid's newly-formed mushroom mop for the perfect fungal apparition. Almost every single trip, I will always hang on as best as I can until the lady puts the shaver away. Occasionally, only after a slight repair of my hair when a shiver has minorly upset the perfect straight line.

Shavers are necessary evils of short and easily maintained hairstyles. So even while I seemingly wish that all shavers would self-destruct and disappear leaving behind a poof of dust, I think deep down, sometimes the shivers are somewhat deliciously dispelled.

MMmmm. Strange quirks of the human body. Or maybe, just mine. :)

Cheerios folks. Will update after I put my girlfriends to the painful taste test of my home-made 1st-ever baked batch of Gingerbread men. Oh, I'm gonna subject Ter's dinner guests to that too. Har har :D

Think it's time I put up some photos..

September 8, 2008
First off, there's my dad's birthday. I rushed back home specially for that, it's his 55th birthday celebration+ retirement! Wasn't able to celebrate his birthday last year coz I had to go back to school. We had dinner at a restaurant along Queen's road which serves some fantastic Kou Rou Bao.. followed by a birthday cake from Bakerzin.





























September 14, 2008
Next up: Mid-Autumn festival aka Mooncake festival. Well, I still got to eat mooncake when I was in UK, so it wasn't that bad :)
























September 28, 2008
And next up, my Mum's birthday! Now, that's really cause for yet another big celebration, because I have missed hers twice in a row. terrible. :) Luckily, I found a way to make it up to her :P






























November 9, 2008
Followed by mine..
Oh joy, I had 2 cakes. An oreo cheesecake which I also helped my bro in making, and a delicious fruitcake from Prego complements from my dad.






























November 16, 2008.
Well, this photo is really of any relevance. Was reading near the balcony when I saw the steathily approaching massive rainstorm. Looks scary and was in awe.

Wednesday, December 3

Haven't been here for ages, and when weida mentioned it, I thought I'll drop by just for a quick bit.

Not entirely sure where I want to start, except that my life has been in shambles for quite awhile. And since I'm not keen on sharing too much of it here, I thought I might do metaphors. But nah, it'll be depressing. So anyway.. I'm waiting to start work on dec 15, on a job that I don't want, learning things of no relevance to my planned career path. In a company which is fantastic, but that's the only glowing part of it.

Other thoughts running through my head currently?

#1) mm. I miss wanfang. She's back in Singapore already.. but have yet to contact her. Better do that soon.

#2) I think I'm pretty lost. Feel like my soul's quite empty at the moment. I'm not really inclined to religious help right now, but it's more like.. I'm losing bits of me, and my personality.

3) lastly. Happiness is over-rated.
