这个暑假有点久。。。

啊。。。从前的从前有人说过我走路蹒跚；
不久前的不久前有人说过我说话像老太太。

哈哈。

他苦拼elephant，我仍咿咿呜呜。
他勤奋学脚车，我还在熟悉爬姿。
她研究唇膏，我却以为是"长大后"的烦恼。
另一个她妩媚尔娜多姿，咦。。。哪不是美女的特权吗？
他她她忙得没睡，我夜夜呼呼大觉。

真是慢三拍。

啊。。。
哈哈。

我只能苦笑。

《我喜欢这首听不懂的歌》

Jane Birkin • Elaeudanla Téïtéïa is putting a bounce in my steps...

那是最后的一次吗？

终于有一个说永远再不见的理由 了
。

黑色簿子就这样停页　了
应该永远永远都不会再翻阅 了
。

这种伤感的话语　也该停歇 了
。

［如果某年某月的某一天，你再重现；我会小心翼翼，不让你看见。］

you served me well

The signs were there.
But i choose to believe.
Then...
the dreadful blue came,
it slipped away.
And never again it awake.
(2005~2008)

...we were young and foolish

your hair was long when we first met...

you are my sweetest downfall.

Tonight I'm gonna rest my chemistry.

(Dean Martin "Young and Foolish"/Regina Specktor "Samson"/Interpol "Rest my chemistry")

my october fourteens used to look like this...

6 year olds take on Formula One cars

The art teacher was teaching the kids to draw racing cars this week, to coincide with the upcoming F1 held in sg..but before drawing, she talked abt the differences btw 'Your Daddy's Car' and 'Racing Car' and many more with the kids, which led to this very hilarious out-of-point dialogue.

An actual conversation(rather accurate from my memory).

Teacher: "How come the racing car is faster than the truck, why isit built so low?"

A very boy boy, Jerald:" because there's no roof."

Ryan, usually quite good with general knowledge, offered this. "Because its like a dolphin, can swim very fast."

Sweet Megan tries. " because, because it is different from my daddy's car.."

Aiden, irrelevantly but nonetheless adorably: "I know i know! the person has to put his leg inside but the person in big car no need..."

Rachel's brave attempt came. " Because the car is very fast, that's why its so low.."

Lendal, as if just to make up the numbers, said:" because it is a racing car!"

The shy unassuming Natalie knew better. She didnt know the answer and just remained silent.

HAAHA.

and... again

i realise my attitude to travel is abit like reading books or watching movies. been re-reading parts of books and rewatching some movies. once through is not enough. if im still thinking abt it, i will be back again, prying beneath the touristic skin.

would like to revisit:
barcelona, spain
ghent, belgium
napoli, italy(i like the feel there (&capri island!)despite rather messy)
france. i will give paris another chance(despite some cheekopek incidents, too many lovely french movies distorting my memory)
cingjing farm, taiwan
netherlands(cuz it feels like home)

actually din do a thorough job through europe.. wana visit the smaller towns my next EuroTrip!

would like to check out:
argentina
turkey
japan
canada
melbourne
scandinavia
maldives
hawaii

and now i really really wana go GREECE!

reading voraciously and watching movies steadily

magic numbers

maybe my star signs clash with my dentist's.

have i mentioned that my dentist hates me? first, they asked to change my timing fr 10am to 4pm. when i reached there, the guy asked if i cld let a girl go in first cuz she's 'in pain' i tot ok. (i tot it was 20min or so) oh no.. it took 40ish min. i almost fell aslp on the couch.
when i went in, we din talk... then suddenly, as if to strike a small talk.. she asked ' so, have you found a job?' ' no and its none of your business, you asked it the last time and its still N.O. NO. so stop rubbing that in already' (well i wished i said that)

then, my dentist asked the husband to switch off 'mr bean cartoon on her plasma screen cuz '(im) not watching.." that sounded bloody rude. and then became defensive when i commented the front tooth STILL aren't moving much.. after about 5 visits.. well, its jus a concerned question.. but she went abt how these things r so subtle..etc.. then when i jus casually asked if 'isit a progress for you, cuz i cant really see it" ok on retrospection, this liner probly sounds alot harsher than i tot.. i was meaning cuz the subtle differences only the professionals can notice rite? but i guess it rub her off the wrong way. then last but not least, when i asked so isit this for a few more mths b4 i go onto retainers, the husband brought out my original teeth mould to show how much it moved already and how i shld be 'patient patient'.

wahlaueh.

pls dun ask me to recommend you my dentist. the only good thing is its proximity to my house. or maybe my star signs clash with my dentist's.

need to grow a money tree soon

these days i feel the need to do little things that i missed out in the past.. and also things that are fun for me now.. so much so i tink i seem to be neglecting the importance of finding a job. i have these many to do lists.. like jasmine's babyshower/housewarming gifts, ed's present, class gathering, photos, exercise, making crepes with ham mushroom cheese.. buying work clothes(for a job that is non-existent), watching all the movies that i missed, all the related movies that are of my interest, downloading all my favourite songs, drink my favourite clam chowder fr soupspoon, packing my clothes, packing my room(bit by bit), reading a old book my frds got me for my 22nd birthday...watching all the tv shows a regime i cant break out of, imagining what had been, could be, should be.

YUP. this is life.

even if i am poor.
and broke.
and poor.

haha.

life back

recently i enjoy evening jogs..

i do them in repeated laps.

a little like a goldfish in the bowl;

only i dont forget or find things new and fresh.

its the time for me to think and reflect.



ears on/a waltz for a night
my spark/got part of the tune right fr repeated slowmo youtubing guitar play. time for guitar classes!

qing ming joke of the year

oops. i accidentally ate my ah gong's offerings. heehee.

my ahma just muttered something terribly scary while in her dreams, half awaken.

i dread to find out the underlying meaning.

and yes, i cried.

she's too sweet

maybe it has something to do with age or other wise, my taste for julies strawberry love letters seem to have waned in its enthusiasm. i usually polish off 2-3tins(large ones, ok) before cny, during cny and post cny. hence it does seem a little unusual this yr that while i did polish off 1 tin pre-cny(which worsened my 2 mths old cough) that i hardly touch any during. and i have just begun polishing the rest of the 2nd tin and now in march, there's still 3 rolls left in it.

could it be that after last year when i didnt celebrate cny(while in nl) and hence did not eat this thingy, have grown unfamiliar with it, or alas! lost the craving for it? or perhaps the (seriously stop fooling ourselves, its really) artifically strawberry sweet has lost its favour with my old-ening tastebuds?

Hmm.

i love patterns!

came across this rather cool design by someone(oops cant rem who) on the net
reminded me of this freaking cool old school morbid short film i used to enjoy watching fr the green couch spot in tu/e

imagine my surprise the similarity in the art topic my art class did when i went there 1 hour later..


(lynn, 8)

my challenging fyp

I realise something.

i get discouraged easily. :(

this day. last year. i was getting ready to take my 13 hour flight to holland.

one year has passed already.

it kind of changed my life forever.
