let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...
how i wish sunny singapore had snow.
it is so freakin' hot nowadays.
and it's supposed to be the winter season.
at least that's what all the shopping malls say.
spent my saturday totally carefree and wild.
my parents were out of town.
they went to medan, indonesia.
that explains it, huh?
haha.
anyway, they went off around 7am, so i woke up to say goodbye.
usually i would've just gone straight back to bed.
i mean, which person wakes up at 7am on a cold saturday morning if they've got nothing on?
but i didn't.
haha.
played the sims2 all the way till it was time for me to meet haiqal at siglap macs for breakfast.
after that went with my aunt and cousins and kelvin to kim keat road to do some eye check up thingie.
stupid la.
wasted my time when i could've been shopping.
then i didn't know how to get to orchard from that place, but a nice lady told me how to get there by bus.
it's not often u meet such nice people.
thanks.
met up with guan at orchard mrt.
went shopping yesterday.
bought lots of stuff.
yay!
- black pointy toed high heels trimmed with lace from far east plaza (my fave buy!)
- olive green spaghetti strap top from Mango
- black mesh pouch from takashimaya
- jeans from far east plaza
a huge thank you to guan.
thanks for accompanying me whilst i shopped yesterday along orchard road.
really appreciate it.
i know i've said thank you like a gazillion times,
but seriously man, no guy was this willing to shop with me ever before.
and definitely no guy has ever told me to try on shoes repeatedly to see how they looked.
what can i say man?
u're a metrosexual.
but it's not a bad thing.
makes girls like u more.
haha.

*******************************
mei ying
thank u so much for the beautiful charm bracelet u gave me.
i love it very much.
and about what biondi said, that it's 3 for $10, don't worry.
i know it probably cost u a fortune.
but even if it was 3 for $10, i wouldn't care.
i would still cherish and treasure it, just because u gave it to me.
i won't ask u not to cry or tell u not to miss me.
the tears will come inevitably.
i myself will miss u terribly.
even though i find it hard to cry, i still will weep when the time comes.
so thanks again for your lovely gift, and love ya lots!
*******************************
guan

my cousins are totally taken by u.

*******************************
Haiqal

it's been great getting to know u.
i know i made things real complicated in the middle part of the year, but u're not one to bear grudges right?
sorry if i made it really awkward for u.
anyway, thanks for ur words of encouragement and such.
u're right.
i have been given a second chance.
i won't lose this opportunity again.
u're someone special to me (u know what i mean. i'm not typing it here.)
and even though it all didn't work out, it's ok.
it's been a privilege of mine to know u.

u've pretty much stated it in black and white already.
well, all the best to u, and take care!

so kiss me and smile for me...
gosh.
everyone's giving me their well-wishes and their blessings.
man.
this makes it all the more hard to leave.
i don't wanna leave.
but yet some part of me does.
going there means opening up so many doors for me, so many opportunities that i would otherwise not have.
but going there also means that i'm closing the window (temporarily) that i've always had open as an emergency hatch.
you could call it my comfort zone.
only a couple weeks more, and i'll be out of it.
out in the harsh cold reality that the world is.
i've been so sheltered, i don't even know what to expect.
but i guess that's what life is all about, stepping into the open from under your shell and just keep going, even if you have completely no idea where you're headed.
it feels like i'm gonna be leaving a huge part of me behind.
but i know that there's a lot waiting for me out there too.
whether good or bad, i don't know.
but i certainly wanna try my hand at it.
going there isn't gonna be a piece of cake.
i have to live up to so many people's expectations.
circumstances have changed now.
no more taking things for granted.
we're talking $7000 a month.
that's no small paltry sum.
and that's not even including my other expenses and airfare.
so things will different.
it'll be hard, but i'm sure i can do it.
i don't think i'm a strong person.
i have my weaknesses too.
i am flawed, just like every human on this planet, maybe even more than some.
that's gonna have to change too.
one person i really admire, even though i really hate to have to admit this, is none other than my mom.
sure, she gives me hell.
but she is one strong-willed woman.
and i can learn so much from her.
she is afraid of nothing.
well, almost nothing.
except cockroaches
but that's not the point.
the point is, if i could be half as brave and strong and responsible as my mom, i'd count myself tremendously lucky.
man, i'd be so embarrassed if anyone reads this.
anyway, sorry for deviating.
back to the subject.
i'm gonna be leaving alot of people i hold dear and close to my heart.
mom, dad, meiying, guan, cherri, teck teng, charmaine, and a whole lot more.
heck, even kelvin.
this blog would go for pages if i wrote down every single of friends' names.
thank you to each and everyone of you.
each of you have touched my life in your own special and unique way.
and i will never forget.
i couldn't, even if i wanted to.
and by the way, it's nice to know someone will be there to catch me when i fall.
