3 Cheers to Singapore for hosting the F1 Grand Prix successfully! (: I think the spectators and visitors from all over the world were pretty WOWed by our first night race eh.

Work at the Mercedes booth was ultra hectic and tiring. Imagine having to stand in an oven-like booth with no fans and being located in a position where the sun rays are able to penetrate and serving swarms of customers at the same time! It's horrible I tell you. And the working hours were shit. But for the pay of $13o/day, I guess I haven't got anything much to say but not work for the next few faces in the yrs to come. However, I gotta say that the company was great with my darlings around, and we got to make a couple of new friends too. They're nice people (:

Here's a complain: $8 for a bottle of drink is just wayyyyy too costly! We paid that darn amount just for a bottle of iced lemon tea and when the cashier scanned the item, our hearts almost popped out la. It's freaking EIGHT times the normal price of the drink. Like Hello. I know it's a big event and you wanna earn lots of revenue, but this is just too much. If I could, I would have lodged a complain.

And did I say that dearest Baby was sweet and patient enough to wait for me for all 3 days despite the late hours?

Boyf is love! (:
xoxo-

Anyw, I finally met up wth BFF after 3 weeks today since she's back from China. Missed her soo much! (: We caught MIRRORS at JP- fancy two cowardly girls sitting alone out of the theatre of 6 occupancies, covering our faces most of the time and peeping at the screens in between the spaces of our fingers! It's funny I know, but we just love doing silly things tog! HEH. And the movie was horrifying. I think I squeaked a lil at one point in time. Oops! We then headed to IMM to wait for yvonne mei for a short talk. (:

Tmr morning's filming at the Mayfair for SPM Project. Spell FUN please? (I hope
)

~*~

My dear boy,
How sweet can you be?
You're just like a chocolate-coated cream pie.
Sorry for those times when you were alone,
Those longs waits wandering around the island,
Those lonely meals eaten,
Those times when you'll just stare at yr watch, hoping its 12am then,
Those times when you hoped that I was beside you.
Those times that I ignored your words just becus I was so panicky,
Those times when I made you worry,
Those times when I made yr heart swell,
Those times that I got mad at you..
.
..
...
I just wanna let you know that;

Regardless of what happens,
You'll be my one and only love,
And our love will last till the end of time.

Thank you for all you've done for me,
And those countless sacrifices made..
I love you. ((:

I think both motorists and pedestrians ought to be more careful and cautious when they're on the road. Traffic lights are there for a reason and although people abide by then most of the time, there are certain instances when accidents occur and,

I got a shock out of my life today. For that moment, I thought that that fateful scene 5yrs ago would be replayed once again, though it wld be a smaller scale one if it occurred.

But thank God, I'm safe. (:

That's why I always urge everyone to cherish each and every moment you have and stay happy always; cus you'll never know what to expect the next moment. I'm not trying to be pessimistic here but it's a truth that we all have to accept- life IS unpredictable.


Treasure what we have now & cherish our loved ones. Tell them that we love them and that we're blessed to have them in our lives. It doesn't hurt to say three words of "I love you", nor does it take a second of yr life to give them a hug to show that you care. After all, our family, parents, friends & life partners are the ones who moulded us into who we are and without them, we wouldn't be the current 'us'.

To mama & papa, I love you.
To all my friends, I love you.
To my clique & gfs, I love you.
To my darlings, I love you.
To my dearest bf, I love you.

(:

Caught Mamma Mia with some of the dance peeps today and it was fabulous! Like what Grace has said, its really a must watch for ABBA lovers! The songs were just wonderful! (:

And anyw, our additional step in our Samba formation has caused me several injuries. It's no doubt cool to be spun around on the floor but the bruises and pain that is resulted are freaking painful! Nevertheless, its always worth it in spite of the complains because its all it takes to perfect certain steps. That's dance. This brings me to talk abt my trip to the Sinseh with Ley darl ystd.

Had initially thought of receiving some treatment frm the guy since Ley and I had each other's company, but the price was horribly costly and I wasn't quite comfy with letting a guy rub my lower back. So I sat there for an hour, watching her groan & cry in intense pain as he massaged her injured areas. And omg I almost swore that I wouldn't want a visit to the sinseh no matter what happens cus the pain's really excruciating. Oh man. Darl, I really salute you for sacrificing so much just for yr passion, for dance. Hang in there okay! Get well soon (: After that, we made a trip to Vivo to slack.. details at www.shirleyy.com but please don't laugh yr ___ out. Hehh.

You made me realise that I'm nothing without you too.
What's life without you, my dearest?
What's love without you?
You're heaven. you're love. you're mine. (:
Never blame, for nothing's ever your fault.

Just thank you, for always being there for me.
i cherish you,
andiloveyou.

Staying at home's a way to save up, cus that way, you'll waive off all transportation fees and unnecessary spendings. HOWEVER,

the boredom kills.

Cause there isn't any mood for drama, nor is there any mood to tidy up the entire house or whatsoever. So the entire day was again spent on the lappie, playing msn games with Jieli and surfing around. Of course, I took the time to view the videos and pics which Hanson has sent us abt Baby Maddie too. She's ultra cute I tell you. Here's the link if you're bored:

http://gallery.me.com/hansonterri

The videos are superb. I just love the way she mumbles that baby language and her adorable way of walking. Haha (: Maddie darling is love!

And yeah. I've decided, like finally, to sign up fo driving with bf as soon as time permits me to, hopefully after the darn F1 job. HAHA. I so need to learn a skill or 2 from the pro since we have a car to drive ard.. (:

Love makes the world go round (:
And you. you got me so hypnotized

Missing you loads baby!

I've been wanting to blog abt the issue on staring since ystd but I kept forgetting.. So I've been observing the people around us and I haveta say that a handful of them can be deemed as rude, rude in the sense that they give questionable stares out of the blue and in some situations, cause goosebumps to develop. For no reason, you realise that those pair of eyes from this Banglah guy seems to be eyed on you and it sucks. Really. Get a life ppl, staring is a rude habit. If you wanna stare, be self obsessed and look yrself in the mirror for all I care. Just dont do foolish stuffs which'll make others fear/worried.

Enough of stares-

So bf and I finally visited T3 today (for the right purpose) and had the chance to frequent the entire compound. We even crossed over to the other two terminals! Conclusion: T3's not that fab after all. If you're talking abt comparing it with T1 and 2, its definitely a whole lot nicer given its establishment but not till the extent that its super well built and furbished. I think HKIA's standards are on par with Changi Airport. Ha.

And and and. Esplanade's rooftop sky terrace is an awesome place to chill out, especially if you're searching for places to spend with yr loved one. It was a chosen spot for our destination the other day and oh boy, the night was fantabulously spent! The ambience, feel and look of the garden's just perfect for a date! (: Hehehe.

On a side note, it's kinda amazing abt the rate at which babies grow. Met up with Serene and family for dinner today and Elise is now so so chubby! Ha. At 1, my lil niece Maddie's also super cute! Wondering when I'll get to see her since they live in the States?

Before I bid farewell, here's a little something to share.. (:

Need I ask for more?
Oh baby,
You're just wonderful, so wonderful.
You're just too perfect to be true.
Sometimes, I really wish that I can be in yr arms forever,
And that this fairytale will never ever end..
You mean the world to me.
Thank you for everything,
Thank god for you,
My silly silly boy (:
I LOVE YOU!

Warning: WORDS HEAVY!

So SPM Presentation's finally over and done with and I guess it went pretty well. Let's just focus on the remainder of the project which includes the video and 15Oct itself. And yeah, Mrs Lim has this super high expectation on the the entire cohort after listening to our presentations; said that she's expecting the event to be a blast and that both the participants & the industry partners shld be WOWed. Its super stressful when she has such high expectations cus then she'll want the event to be superb.

Spent a great deal of time with the rest discussing abt some serious stuffs after SPM and oh boy, we had a hard time. And somehow, the topic was switched to Supernatural ability and it went on for quite some time before we left for Hg mall. Slacked, had a sandwich at Cartel and we finally had some time of our own tog before I accompanied them to Clarke Quay to wait for the rest.

Homed.

To my silly silly boy: I'm glad you're FINALLY feeling better after so many days. Pleasssssssse take care of yrself, drink tons of water and have enough rest okay! Tmr's another long day for us &I can't wait to see you againnnnn! I hope you didn't electrify the eyes of passer-bys at Raffles City tonight! You're a known aunty killer given yr beautiful eyes can. Hahaha (((((((((:

Anyway, I was blog hopping a while ago and came across this entry which I deem is very worth reading. If you find it wordy, too bad.

http://shristine.livejournal.com/8810.html#cutid1

And here's an extract which I find ultra meaningful:

"Loving someone has great benefits. There is admiration, learning, attraction and something which, for the want of a better word, we call happiness. In loving someone, we become inspired to better ourselves in every way. We learn the truth worthlessness of material things. We celebrate being human. Loving is good for the soul.

Loving someone is therefore very important, and it is also important to choose the right person. Despite popular culture, love doesn’t happen by chance, at first sight, across a crowded dance floor. It grows slowly, sinking roots first before branching and blossoming. It is not a silly weed, but a mighty tree that weathers every storm.

You will find, that when you have someone to love, that the face is less important than the brain, and the body is less important than the heart.You will also find that it is no great tragedy if your love is not reciprocated. You are not doing it to be loved back. Its value is to inspire you.

Finally, you will find that there is no half-measure when it comes to loving someone. You either don’t, or you do with every cell in your body, completely and utterly, without reservation or apology. It consumes you, and you are reborn, all the better for it."

So true.. isn't it?

Before I forget, I caught Sex and the City on the plane home last Saturday. Not that fabulous I'd say, but it's worth a catch. Spells a lot about friendship and love(:

This was taken from boy's room ystd evening (: No wonder he says the view's magnificant during sunset. It's just lovely!

And before I end, here's another poem by baby, specially written for our 3rd mth (:

My Dear

Others ask me how I feel
It just seems like a fairytale
Lost for words when I found her
Wanting to love her forever

Bus rides would always be the same
Until the day that she came
Regardless the darkness of the night
It will be brightened by her light

Waiting for her all my life
Just to make her be my wife
Able to hold her in my arms
Keeping her safe from any harm

I would touch her with my kiss
Just to show her that she's missed
Every time I look into her eyes
I just couldn't say goodbye

Thank you for appearing at this time
Just to let me know that you're mine
You're the reason for my smile
And why I'll go the extra mile

I LOVE YOU!(:

Now you understand why Lit is a useful subject? Haha

Sometimes, I can't help but doubt my definition of passion. How could something which was once so strong turn to almost nothing in such a short period of time? Okay, maybe 3months isn't that short but its too short a timespan to let the passion die down.

So yea, I haven't been dancing since Nationals ended, and dancing equates to putting in 100% effort in doing each and every move and grooving to the beat with that ardent love burning within you.

Seriously, I don't know what's wrong. Tell me that its bcus Nationals are still a few mths away. Tell me that its bcus the partner's overseas. Tell me that its bcus of sheer laziness that all this is happening.. and that it's not because of declining passion.

I don't want everything to go to a waste.. I can't afford to. But the amt of effort I placed in dancing the Samba on Tues was really disappointing. I could feel it, yet I couldnt execute what's required.. I admit that like always, Sharon made the lesson tougher than ever given her high expectations in terms of techniques but that doesn't provide a reason for lousy dancing. Oh mel, please reflect upon things..

I miss the feeling of being deeply engaged in dance. I miss the feeling of training like never before for Dance Nationals. I miss... the old me.

& i miss you too my boy. (: cus you know that you'll never be replaced. loves!


♥yours truly. 10:55 PM



Explain to me why love is silly.
Explain to me why love requires sacrifices.
Explain to me why my heart feels upon seeing you suffer.
Explain to me..

why I love you so much

[cause loving you doesn't require a reason, it starts right from the heart.]

Please please get well soon my dear.. It hurts to see you suffer..

So I've decided to stick to blogger for a while more before making any rash decision to switch to either wordpress or lj. Fickle-minded yes I know. Ha.

And results were released today; nothing much to comment since I'm aware of the amount of effort given. I WILL and MUST work harder next sem. No joke mel. Otherwise, prep to say byebye to Uni pls.

Here's a lovely poem by Mr. bf:

The days I had without my dear
Just filled my heart with empty fear
The emptiness that I felt
Hoping that I could call her for help

I just want to see your beautiful face

Each time i pass by your pretty place
My life will never be the same
Since the day of your name

If I could ever control your dreams
'I love you' would be what I'll scream
To hold you tight and never let go
This is something that we both know

I love you my boy! (: Please get well soon.
*sending you tons of love*

(: My silly boy ( forgive me for posting this pls! )

This is what kept me going for 7days (: Specially prep by my one and only dearrrrrrrrrr (:

It feels really great to be home. From today onwards, perhaps Singapore's where I truly belong. When the plane touched down last night, my heart was like finally.. i'm back to a place where I feel utmost comfort. Haha. So yeah. Flight was smooth though delayed and I arrived Sg at 12.15am today (: And guess who's the first person I called? ((:

Unpacked and slept on my oh-so-cosy bed like a pig. Ha, after resting on my cousin's rock-like childrens' bed for a week, my bed seemed to be the most comfy one in the world! And I dreamtttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt. of my boy. Heh. Guess I just couldn't wait for 113oam to arrive.. :x

So after a week of suffering in desolation.......

Baby and I FINALLY, and I mean finally met up! It felt as though we've not seen each other for years. And the silly boy couldnt help repeating the fact that I'm back in Sg already.. Hehe. Cute.

Though the time spent was relatively short,

I

Loved the long bus rides,
Loved the trip to Vivo,
Loved the delicious ljs lunch tog,
Loved the ultra-sweet Haagen-Daaz session with you,
Loved the catching up session,
Loved the slacking session ard West Mall;
Loved the way we clung to each other's arms,
Loved the way you held me,
Loved the way our lips touched,
Loved every single moment spent with you.
but most of all.
I love you. And I'm glad that we are with each other once again (: I'll never ever go on such a long trip without you by my side and we will never go separate ways in this life. I'm sooo happy to be back! Say bye to sleepless nights, desolate moods, countless tears, limited phone calls & text msges and those ten thousand misses.. Cus baby, we're back together and our love will bloom like never before. Thank God for you, and thank God for bringing you into my life.

Alright.. so tmr's RESULTS day. Good luck pple! (: It's gonna be another day of project madness for spm too. Jiayou trm!

I can't wait to see my gfs tmr & dance darlings on Tues. All of you are MISSED GREATLY!

Baby, here's a little something for you, specially thought this afternoon during my wait. I hope you'll like it! (:
xoxo !

Did you know,

how perfect life's been,
Ever since you appeared?

Did you know,

The colours you've added,
The bonds you've forged,
And the feelings you've fostered;
Since that very day?

It's that fateful day,
When God pronounced us true,
It's that very moment,
When our dreams came true.
It's that split second,
Which eradicated all blues,
And its that special instant,
That I fell in love with you.

No words can express my feelings for you, and no words can evoke how much I love you, how much I miss you. You're just heaven (:

I hate to admit this but- I realised that I don't love hk; it's prolly just a country which I'm more familiar with after traveling to and fro for countless times since young.

Home? Maybe just a place where I was born, and where I've lived in till I was 2.

So what if there's gd shopping? So what if its livelier? Will that make up for all the love and fun I get from everyone in SG? It doesn't, I tell you. It really doesn't. I find it utterly hard to adapt to the super CROWDED surroundings, POOR air quality, DIFFERENT surroundings & most of all, to live without my friends, family & dearest.

Ok, I know I'm still too dependent on everyone else, but this is just me. Take it or leave it, k?

You know how much I wanna complain to my mama abt everything here, abt my horrible experience gained while I live ALONE with my cousin's family- having to hear them argue abt stupid stuffs everyday, listening to my aunt nag at my cousin every nite, feeling out of place simply bcus I'm not part of their family, sucks. Seriously, why talk abt shares, politics & every other thing to me? Do you think I even give a damn.

Do you know how bad it feels to be away frm yr loved ones?
Do you know that its nt my fault that I'm a HK idiot?
Do you know how much I wanna just travel ard HK alone w/o yr guidance but i just CAN'T?

It's not that I dont want to, it's just.. not within my ability.

I just can't wait to get out of here. I need to fly back, badly. I've done my part, I've done my shopping, I've done all I need to. And thanks for all the nagging today(: Even my parents don't nag this much.. If I had known that its this troublesome just to change a character in yr name, I would've urged mom to not do so a few yrs ago.

Look at what's gotta be done today. Spending HKD$1000 (SGD$200) on another darn deed poll frm the lawyer tmr really costs a bomb.

But well, I don't blame my mom. It's just. dumb.

Its nearing 11, and another day's gonna past alr (: Like finally!

I can't wait to be back. I miss my darlings, I miss my gfs, I miss dance, I miss my parents.


But most of all,

I miss you. Yes you.
Teo kah enggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg ((:
I hope you're enjoying yrself at K tonite even though I'm nt by yr side

Do not miss me, Do not cry
For by and by
You'll then realise
That I'll again be by your side

Till we meet again! :D
I LOVE YOU,
I MISS YOU,

PLEASE CONT TO STAY STRONG MY BOY!
I'LL BE BACK REALLY SOON :)))


the pain that can never be described`..
but then again, everything's worth it. (:

I can't wait to get back home.. Things over here aren't as good as expected, though the shopping's undeniably fab with the low prices, the feeling of loneliness can never be understood..

The feeling of;
being away frm all yr friends,
yr mama & papa,
yr darlings,
yr clique,
yr 'comfy' surroundings,
yr boyf..

And everything else. I am so so so not used to the lifestyle here in hk. Without the ppl above, I figured out that Mel wont be Mel anymore.. Yeah, call me dependent, silly or whatever- I just can't stand being alone. And tmr's gonna be my first trip out to Tsim Sha Tsui to meet a Dad's colleague for a day's shopping. Wish me luck in finding my way ppl..

And my dearest cousin is freaking irritating sometimes that I feel like shutting her up. Do not underestimate a 12yr old girl's ability to talk/irritate eh.

I'm constipating. And I'm missing everyone like mad, esp you.

Did you know..
how much I cried,
even though it's a day without you by my side?
Did you know..
the extent of heart ache I experienced,
at the thought of you last night?

Seriously,
I almost died la.
Having to hide all feelings in front of everyone else,
But failing to control them until I get on bed,
sucks.

I realised.. that I can't live even a day without you. It's terrible, horrible, incorrigibleeee.

& baby baby, I can't wait to be back in yr arms once again, indulge in yr kisses and never ever let go of you. I love you. I miss you. (:

Tmr's our 3rd monthsary, but here I am stuck in a place 3hrs away frm you. Let's make it up after the 15th alright. (:

Happy 3rd monthsary in advance my boy! I LOVE YOU ((:

Its our constant msges that keeps me going. Its yr voice which makes me feel better. Its yr lovely book stuffed with tons of xoxo which makes me continue to hope for the 15th to arrive. Thank you!

& i never wana be apart frm you again my dear..

Though the time spent with baby today was relatively short & we din't really know what activities to engage in, I enjoyed every moment spent with him. And yes, I finally saw his sis! Chatted with her through msn last night and I'm really glad to know a new friend! (: She's a really nice girl & we have tons of similarities that its scary! HAHA.

So yup, I'm flying off to HK tmr morning at 6.45am; alone. I don't fear shopping alone, rather it's the dining part which I'm afraid of cus loneliness kills sometimes.. Without my friends, family, darlings & baby ard me, I'm really unsure how I'll be like. Bless me alright!

To BFF: Pls don't get mad over those silly stuffs alrdy alright! They're childish ppl who've yet grown up. Take care of yrself & have a great trip to China! Rmb that I'll always be here for you! I miss you & I love you! Seeya when we're both back! (:

To my darlings (Mich, Ali, CherylC, Sojini, PingTing, Von): DARLINGS! Pls take care of yrselves k and have fun at dance! I miss you tons & I love you girls too! Let's chill out tog once again when I'm back! xoxo!

To 8ight: Calling out to all my darls out there, lets have a mass meetup soon with full attendance yep? I miss all of you so much! Take care kay & I love you! (:

To dance bros: Ken & Des! Hope that you'll still be around when I'm back okay! I need to send you guys off! Pls take care and see you all soon! Xoxo!

To Baby: Dear dear dear.. Thank you for everything you've done. Thanks for sacrificing yr sleeping time and having late nights just for the sake of doing the book for my 9days trip.. It really spurs me to start reading the first chpt right at the moment when I'm on the plane tmr. I can't wait (: Thanks for being sooo sweet to make yr very own Honeydew Sago. I almost melted.. Heh. & Don't worry, cus it tasted just perfect with with your love stuffed within. Pls take care of yrself during this 9days- have yr meals on time, have enough rest, drink enough water and most importantly, stay happy. I know it ain't easy but we gotta stay strong baby. On my part, I'll try to do my best too.. I've said this before but I wanna say this once more: even though we're not physically tog, we're always mentally by each other we both know that our hearts will remain as one. Our love will stand strong, I believe it will. And although o8o9o8 won't be spent tog, I'll still love it like how I love our past 2 months.. Hehehe. (:

When you think of me, do not cry even though I'm not by your side. Look at our pictures, read my messages to you, think of all those happy moments we shared and smile, cus I'll be back before you know it. 9days.. 9days will past quickly I know. (: However...

If I had known that parting was this difficult, I never wanna be apart from you again.. Never, never in this life.

I miss you alrdy.. and I love you. (:

Being with you makes me the happiest girl in the world. You mean the world to me, my love.

"love makes the world go round"

Till my next post ppl (: Take care!

Sometimes, you won't learn to treasure until you've seen/heard of stories of others. You'll take life for granted- you'll just take everything for granted. I haveta admit that I was among one of those millions of peeps out there who do that, but after reading a blog, all perspectives and thoughts are changed.

So here it is; do not be taken aback cus the stories & images may cause tears to fall..
http://ashleyisourangel.blogspot.com/

When I was chancing upon the blog, countless qns popped up. Why did all that tragic happen? Why them? Why the decease of ALL 3 kids? Why did HE have to take their lives away from a pair of 'supposed-to-be happy parents'?

The poems, the pictures, the paragraphs evoked so much sadness and sympathy. Just by looking at the birth&death cert & judging frm the fact that they were issued on the same day makes things seem so so ironical.. How can one be born & gone on the same day? Where's the fairness?! And the baby's palm was soo tiny that it was equivalent to our nail. The scenes of the funeral, the coffin & the ashes made things even more heartwrenching and I really really feel for them..

However, people always say that God has a reason for everything. So no matter how heartbreaking the story is, I'll trust Him for the statement above. He'll never do things which are harmful to us- negative incidents are perhaps, a platform for him to convey certain messages to us mankind. (:

Therefore, I thank God to bless me to continue living in this world even though I was a 7month old baby.. In case you didn't know, I was 2months premature and weighed only 1.5kg at birth. Since I was born at 11pm, the doc told my parents that if I couldn't survive past midnight, I'll go. BUT thank God I didn't. Thank God I made it even though I was a weak kid who always fell ill in the past. I'm glad I'm alive and healthy now with tons of wonderful friends, the best family and the best bf who's more than I can ever ask for. Also, not having to worry abt misc problems which others might face or in other words, being blessed with a great life is a gift from heaven too.

It's said that we, as children, are Gifts from Heaven to our parents and are Children of God. O' Lord, how true are the above.. (: Thank you for bringing us into this world; and thank you for giving us the chance to survive. I believe that majority of us are wonderful gifts to our parents and that's why they love us, that's why they nag at us & that's why they care for us. Though it's inevitable to heave off comments and naggings from them at times, we should still respect them, love them and show them our care&concern when possible cus after all, we wouldn't be who we are if not for them.

Thus.. I would like to shoutout to my Mom & Dad (even though they won't be reading this) :

你们是世界上最伟大的父母亲!
I LOVE YOU ! THANK YOU FOR BEING SUCH WONDEFUL PARENTS! ((: I WILL MISS YOU WHEN I'M IN HK! (:


And before I end, here's an extract from the blog. It's super duper sad but at the same time, pretty meaningful..

You can Shed Tears by David Harkins
You can shed tears that he is gone
or you can smile because he lived


You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back
or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left


Your heart can be empty because you can't see him
or you can be full of the love that you have shared


You can turn your back on tomorrow and lived yesterday
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday


You can remember him and only that he is gone
or you can cherish his memory and let it live on


You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back
or you can do what he would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.


To Daddy in heaven: Thank you for everything once again! (: Praise the Lord!

And I figured that I cannot live without dance. No matter what, dance is love, dance is life, dance is my passion (:

Initially, I thought that the passion had died down a lil given the long 'break' we had from June comp till now since we've not been taking lessons beside school classes & have also been pretty slackish in practice. Also, the fact that Tin's back in Vietnam till mid Oct makes dance times even less hectic. From the usual 3days a week, dance has now been minimized to 2 days since we stopped going for Sat practices for the time being.. And before lesson started tonight, I felt pretty reluctant to dance bcus of fatigue and bcus Tin wasn't ard. But when we started dancing, I cld feel the momentum unleashing once again.


I wanted to dance the Samba to the best of my ability; I wanted my hip actions, volta-fogo, voltas, whizz, walks, locks, promenade run etc well. I wanted to put in 100% effort in every move. Then was Samba formation. I enjoyed it, even though I cld feel my bones cracking and rusting from the lack of prac, I knew clearly that I can never ever stop dancing. Well at least for now I guess? (:

Thus, I've promised myself to train hard, to not slacken and to train even harder when he returns from Viet & when lessons resume. I need to, and I have to do well! :D

It's 2 days till my trip and a million tasks are still undone. Oh man, I'm soo cranky. I have yet:
- packed my luggage properly
- wrote my shopping list
- wrote my gift list
- done some misc stuff


Argh- And the schedule's pretty packed for these couple of days. Gonna sing our hearts out with some dance peeps later on, Thurs's reserved for the freaking SPA project from morning-evening & formation prac at night, and Fri's a day spent with baby before I leave for hk.

Yucks. I feel so dumb. On one side, I wish that Sat'll arrive now so that I can flyyy back to my hometown to visit everyone and shop but on the other, I can't bear to leave cus I'll miss everyone here (even though its only a short 9days trip)- Boyf, Gfs, Darlings, Friends, Mom&Dad.

Well well.. it jus sums up to one word I guess- INDEPENDENCE. It's gonna be my 2nd time taking a plane alone but my first time shopping in the streets of HK w/o the company of mama. Go mell!

And baby,
I know we'll survive this test successfully.
They always say.. absence makes the heart stronger,
and I believe so too.
But always rmb that:
You'll always be in my heart no matter wherever I go & whatever I do.

We can do it! (:
& I love you.

Hello world!

I'm on the phone with my dear boy but he's fast asleep. That's for being stubborn about sleeping early, silly boy!

So anyw, 28-31st Aug was spent working at COMEX IT fair with the girls and Esther's friends. I have to admit that those 4 days were tough given the fact that we had to stand for 10 hours non-stop and preach the customers to purchase Toshiba laptops till our throats turn sore. The experience was so impactful that images of the laptops, their specs & how we sell them kept appearing in my dreams! It was horriddddddddd! Nevertheless, I'm glad that it's finally over and yes, time ticked quite fast indeed. I was constantly asking Rach for the time on the first two days cus I wanted 9pm to arrive asap to mark the end or work & so that I could finally meet baby darling. However, I'm happy that Day 3 & 4 passed in a flash because of the overwhelming no. of cust! The crowd was freaking largeee I tell you, so huge that there were many instances that I got totally squashed by giants.

In total, I managed to sell 35 lappies and I'm hoping for good pay when we collect our salary 1.5mths later yep? Also, I haveta conclude that:

1) Human beings are kiasu by nature- ppl were alr flooding in an hour before the show started!
2) Human beings are greedy & never contented with anything. Always asking for lower prices, more freebies. Yucks -.-


Alrightt, Enough of IT fair. Went back to sch for SPM Proj briefing today and omg, its soo overwhelming la. It's gonna be a real-life proj tog with the year 1s and 3s and what's more, industry partners and associates are gonna be involved in assessing & participating! Omfggg. Our class is i/c of Spa anyw.. And I can't believe it that for the first time, we gotta work on a proj during our long-wanted hols and the deadline is freaking near.

Go trm! :DD

Then was outing with Aud & Shux to town since the rest were tied up with their own stuffs.. We planned to do window shopping but I ended up getting 4 tops. Okay I know mom just came back from HK and I'm also flying off this Sat so rightfully, I shldn't be shopping.. Oh well. That's for failing to resist temptations. :x Rach joined us for dinner after her F1 thingy and we dined at Wisma's food republic. Shopped ard & met baby afterwards to have Hokkaido icecream at Taka.

O` sweetness divine! ((:

I'm praying that my back heals quickly cus I gotta be alright, and that the upcoming 9days in HK will past in a breeze cus I'll be missing my dear friends & bf tons..

Tag replies:
To boy: teheee! (:
To bifen: girl! it was nice bumping into you at IT fair! Miss ya loads too. Jiayou in uni k! Meet up soon :D

To yanbing: I MISS ALL OF U LIKE MADD omggg! Pls jiayou for prelims and of cos, As! We'll meet then ((:

My dear..
I'm glad I was the first to wish you on yr birthday.
Thank you for always allocating part of yr time for me; for us.
Thank you for being so sweet.
Can you just be less cheeky?
(:
Enjoy the mooncakes stuffed with xoxo, &
