happy new year pull your ear

(my dad used to say that all the time. heck, he says it even now! :)

anw my holidays have been great so far. italy was very beautiful: rome is very rich in history, and the structures and buildings are all very huge; venice is unique in the water sense but other than that maybe it was a little too cold to feel the romanticness of the place. ;)

and i love rachel. (: (: (:

yeah. well. and that too. ;) we had loads of fun and i think poor sis deserves a medal for being around us three very loud and noisy girls for ten days. applause!

so a very happy new year to one and all;) much love from london!

one fine day

and so this marks the end of the michaelmas term. ;) what was meant to be a shopping trip to primark again (and my initial plans of *gasp* wanting to go crush) went down as a lazing around in front of my tv together with dearest shimmie. we were such couch potatoes i think we watched what three movies? and friends and charmed in between. and curled our hair in between with the new curling tong i got for her;) it was the first time shimmie got to see the song 'i wanna grow old with you' in the movie itself so she was shrieking throughout and i just felt quite high as well. its an incredibly sweet scene and i just love those two when they do films together. i just need to stop mixing up adam sandler and ben stiller ahah.

then we watched my all-time favourite, one fine day! i cant seem to find a big photo but this will do cos i think this is the nicest scene in the whole movie;) what better movie than one with george clooney michelle pfeiffer and two really adorable kids. i think one fine day trumps all other favourite movies at this point of time;)

then we gradually dissolved into a lump of fat as we ate fish n chips frm fryers delight(oh by then we already had a tub of ben n jerrys) and stared into the black box until entrapment finished and we concluded that catherine zeta jones had the daddy complex in that show cos sean connery is way too old for her.

what better way to spend the last day of term;)

getting old

conversation between me and bra
bra: hey sorry i was afk when you pst me
me:??
bra: you noob(or smthg like that)
me: yeah im getting too old for your lingo
bra: yeah me and yj and shawn on the vent now
me: (gives up)

am i really getting too old for lingos? who the hell says afk and pst??

work it, girl!

i had a crazy time for the past few days just thinking bout the amount of work i have before the term is up. but actually ive been having a great time, which sounds really ironic since im supposed to be head buried in work, but whatever;) did some christmas shopping, then had my first floorball prac since forever and it was gd fun walking around rainy london in shorts and everyone around us was just like 'arent you cold??'. aiyah we wanted to run to sch and then head back alr mah didnt know we would feel like having lunch and walking around brunswick.
then there were the ocf outreach where i thought the choir sounded really good;) and i really liked the play. and the food. and i think malaysians are really funny people. and mayling's primark scarf is pretty!
then of course there was cheryl's birthday party (happy birthdayy hun!) where i think was the first time i spoke to so many singaporeans, at such length, for the first time here. anw it was fun just hanging out and drinking punch (i refused alcohol see so responsible ian is evil) but after the main crowd left we started camwhoring and thats when we got quite high ahha. cheryl's house is one diva house;) i think we watch too much america's next top model haha we were all trying to be jay alexander(is that her name) :"work it girl! come on give me more face!" sonya had really funny commentary on our fashion runway shows "tourist, or international spy?" omg hilarious.

:)
and now i have a mini christmas tree from may as i am feeling quite festive already. explains the lack of work done!

dances around in holiday mood

you get high watching them play! i love alison krauss, really wish i can get my hands on her album soon. too bad my fav song of hers isng famous at all. its some weird song called stars but hey that was the first i heard of her and i really liked her for that. then cold mountain came along and i fell in love with her music;)

anw this is prob the first nght i have free. well pretty much by chance cos i was planning on doing work tonight until i realised my textbook doesnt have what i needed to read up on. so too badddd. i prob shd be doing something useful ;) since greys isnt up yet i guess i shall return to work then!

oh breathe, just breathe

was supposed to be writing my european law essay, but ive read my articles and i have pen and paper and all my materials in front of me. ive bathed, in my pjs, with a bowl of granny smith apples drizzled with sugar and cinnamon (muaha) and the choc cake is still on my table. the things i put into my body:)

i have a confession to make.

oprah makes me cry;) whenver i watch her show id be so inspired or moved or just feeling so thankful that she's there making all the difference in this world. well minus the drama whenver she gives out all the (oh gloriously expensive) presents, she really is an inspiration!
today's episode was about heroes and how people saved other people. there was this mother who used her body to shield her two boys from a tornado. broke her back and is now paralysed, but her little kids were so adorable 'my mum is my hero'. and the marines who returned from iraq war after 7 months, and when oprah says 'whether we support the war or not, we're grateful for those soldiers who are out there protecting you and me' she makes so much sense in such simple words.

i am a woman when i say i love watching oprah!
