极冷一下、两下、三百下! ♥ 7/12/2009 01:05:00 AM

So the scene was about a mommy's boy (nothing wrong if it's not too extreme, but he's not man enough) being hospitalised because of snake venom poisoning, which caused his lips to be super duper swollen. And his mom was coaxing him like a baby boy, adding that she brought his favourite taiwan sausage bento set.
After she opened the bento and was about to feed him, she went, "Ohh!! 你already在吃了!"

HAHAHAHAHA.
Erhm, I mean... so lame.

Note to self: Do not watch too many trashy drama series.

If you're interested, it's specifically at 5:00 onwards:

To advance or retreat? ♥ 7/11/2009 12:03:00 AM

You know you're in love with that particular someone when he seems to be capable of shoo-ing those rainy days away.
You know you've fallen deeply when you find yourself staring at your partner's face, observing his every action, prompting him to ask, "What?"
Most likely, you'd reply, "Nothing" with a smile across your face, when there are actually many questions left unanswered flashing across your mind.
Just that there're too many of them, and they are all left dangling, you don't really know how to string those thoughts into words so as to share them with your partner.
Sometimes you ask yourself, what would your future be like with this particular someone.
More often than not, you find yourself asking, "Is he The One?"
But seriously, how do you go about searching for an acceptable answer/reply?
Afterall, we're all intending/hoping to marry once in this lifetime. Be it for financial, psychological, physiological reasons- whatever. So we do not wish to make a wrong choice.
So this has to turn out right. Right?

I chanced upon a magazine article by a counsellor- an article which I've found particularly enriching, and believes it is applicable to everyone.

What are you giving up to be in the relationship?
A relationship should enhance our identity and values. When you have to give up significant aspects of yourself, end friendships and distance yourself from your family, or sacrifice values that are not consistent with your lifestyle, then it is time to reconsider.

Do I like the person I am when I am with my partner?
If you behave in a negative or destructive manner when around your partner then you have to consider how he contributes to that. For instance, if you're constantly feeling guarded or insecure then is your partner making that better or worse by this response?

Are my partner's long-term goals aligned with those of my own?
It might not be easy to imagine how yours might conflict 10 years later but when a couple has different long-term goals, it'll affect the relationship in the future. For instance, if your partner plans to work abroad while you want to raise your children next to your families, you have to reconsider the goals- or your relationship.

Do I cry more often than I smile?
Sure, crying and smiling are both natural and expected in any relationship but it is a fact that the don't often end because of too much smiling.

Have we tried counselling?
Sometimes conflicts and differences can be worked out with professional help. A neutral third party who is not invested in any way can give an objective view of your relationship's potential.
When I read the article, I was nodding in approval when thinking of situations I've heard of and/or experienced for further comprehension.
Hopefully this can help lost souls out there to end their search for the answer.
Of course, I hope it reaffirmed your decision to take a step further in the relationship.
Nonetheless, if this spells a retreat, don't be afraid to embrace the truth.
Muster your courage.



P/S: I am not emo though.
PP/S: I just recently bought a vintage tee w the word "emo." across the chest. HAHA. so lame, i had to get it.

sustain the flame ♥ 7/09/2009 10:42:00 AM

wooo, haven't been blogging for eons.
jane's back! and will be going off soon.
The fact that she's returning did not sink into me until afew hours before her flight.
She called: eh! where are you?
me: at home?
jane: still at home?
me: ya. still early what.
jane: i need to tell you something!
me: what?
jane: i left my straightener at home! how!
me: hair straightener?
jane: ya! and you know my hair right. i need the straightener!
me: i have one at home what.
jane: but my hair, you know la, i need those high temp ones.
me: should be ok la don't worry.
jane: really?
me: ya.
jane: ok.... eh later go eat supper leh. i wanna eat singapore food.

I hung up, smiling to myself, with these in my mind: Welcome back, Gunawan.


So far, we met up with many people! Mr Singh, Victoria, Marcus, Jon Yu, Constans, Dana, Alina, Fara, Nana. I've never felt so sociable. Hahhaha, and boy, i do feel tired. Old already. Sigh.

anyway, it's really annoying to be spot-on! makes you feel super duper panicky when you've predicted something bad but you couldn't do anything about it.
I didn't win the Watsons thing.
Don't worry about disappointment, i'm not.
I'm just sad that there's no 2k for me, and hence no $1.5k for mom. (But ok la, she love the purple top and gold heels i've gotten for her.)
not so easy to win afterall.
kenneth said the flitering of the votes was via IP addresses.
that means his 26 votes daily with valid emails of his and his friends, and my 12 votes daily with valid emails of mine and my family's are crossed out?
since we used our coms to cast those votes.

On the other hand, i surprisingly got in for the new paper new face 2009 as a finalist. Yes, top 20. I have actually done my headshot already. I hope it is nice, but i guess not. My usual smile was said to be too gummy (too much gum shown), so......... see how it goes la, huh.
I really thank zg, zhenwei, jy, jane, adeline, rui and my sis for dishing out words of encouragement readily because i can get so annoyingly nervous.
And yeah, I am aware that I seem to be joining alot of such stuff this year. let's just say, it's just these 2 and it's just this year. And no, i'm not a pageant-chionger of sort. it's just... 2009. weird year.
If you've been reading this space, yes I'm second-time lucky. I auditioned for nf with the winner, Shahirah last year, but i didn't make it to top24.
This time round, I was really much more slack.
I was in the toilet when they announced the top50 or 60.
Linda, the girl who i was with, said i got in. and it pricked me when she said she didn't make it to the next round.
And i didn't realise they'd be cutting down to the top24 for the next round already.
I rmb feeling crap when i realised so AFTER i was done, like as though i came, just to screw things up.
But my number was called- the last third. In no order of merit, they said. But seriously. Haha.
I look forward to the grand finals in Taka on Oct 8. :)




And my friends have already started to advise me to prioritise my time when school reopens.
I really should. Thank you all.
