Hope it all went well this morning :)

Boring Weekend

.

Okay... My life's been pretty mundane recently. Haven't been going out much.. Well, at least I try not to. That's the price I've got to pay to pass my exams I guess? To get to the rainbow, you must first put up with the rain, right?

.

Here are some pics from my boring weekend... Doing only what's necessary for me to survive, and remain sane!

.

Jap for dinner, yet again! :D

Fried rice with prawns in omelette (supposedly one of the "house specials"), takoyaki (my all time favourite octopus balls!... now guys, don't get the wrong idea!), and yummy Unagi don.

Had to satisfy myself (erm. my cravings I mean) with something heavenly... for I've been stressing out the whole week. And I needed a break from everything, and be out of the house. Yes, the house arrest thing didn't really work out :D Well, at least I tried. *hehe*

I can't get chocolates no more, for I'm gaining weight.. Yes! I have. Boohoo! I tried stuffing myself into this pair of jeans that I have not worn for sometime... and blardee hell! I couldn't zip up! FARK! This is baddddd.. *sigh* I guess it's true that when we get older, our metabolism rate decreases. Hence you've got to do more, or eat less... to remain the same.

Opted for fat-free gelati instead!!! *hehehe* Or erm... 97% fat-free! Erm, I'm not quite sure really... But whatever! *hehehe*Doesn't really matter! Having gelati never fails to make my day! :D I think it's the endorphine that makes me feel elated! I'll worry bout counting the calories later!

Mei's motto: "Eat first, think later!"

Yummy... :D totally heavenlyyyy! (Sau, I couldnt wait for ya. We'll go again after exams k? I promise!)

Perhaps, I'll feel better tonight, and speed up a lill with my studies. I'm sooo wayyyy behind! It's like running on 56k when all your other friends are on cable connection! Totally sucks! I got a message on my MSN today, that totally freaked me out... and it went like...

YS : Mei, what's central sensitisation? and Wind-up? Could you explain that?

Mei: Erm, that's in Palliative Care I think? The pain notes? Sounds vaguely familiar.

YS : Err, yeahh... about cancer pain...

Mei: Ohhh... Dunno? I'd have to read up on that *shy*

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* 5 minutes later*

Hugo : What do you know about child psychiatry?

Mei : Erm, I know bout conduct disorders? and... er er er... autism?

Hugo : *sigh* nevermind...

Mei : Sorry, not much help *shy*

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sigh... so yes, to sum it up... I know nothing! And I need to know everything... in 3 days' time! OMG! *runs frantically*

Oh well, on a lighter note, I'm kinda counting down the days....

• 3 days to exam *bbrrr... scary. Sends chills down my spine*
• 5 days tilll mom and dad arrive in Melbourne! Woohooo... I can't wait!
• 6 days till "low peng" turns 25! :)
• 8 days till my last paper!
• 9 days to freedom!!!
• 17 days to my dear sister's graduation! Yay! I better start putting on facial masks and moisturising lotion.. wanna be all nice to snap pics on that day! Although I'm not the "STAR", but who cares? hehe.
• 22 days till I get on the plane... and fly home! :D Yumm... food, food, food! Friends, friends, friends! Parties, parties, parties!

Alritey, I guess that's enough of my ramblings for today... hehe... must be the endorphines from gelati that got me all hyped up! :D

And to *you* Good luck for tomorrow! :)

Mei's off to do some work now. Gum-ba-teh! (I hope I spelled it right. Sounds pretty vulgar to me. Hahahaha)

Mei's Wishlist

.

Since I'll feel guilty if I do go shopping like 4 days before my written paper, I had to resort to do some online shopping! Yes yes, call me a shopaholic if you want to! I know I'm one. :(

.

And then, *TADAA*

I found something(s) that I really really like... DARN!

.

That's bad news. Now, I can't stop thinking bout them *hahaha* craving-yearning-needing them! Aren't they just gorgeous???

.

Return to Tiffany Heart Tag Bracelet - Sterling Silver.
Tiffany & Co.'s Heart Tag Toggle Link Necklace - Sterling Silver! *totally gorgeous* I likeeee...

And finally...

.

Tiffany & Co.'s Buckle Bracelet. Platinum & Platinum Mesh, round brilliant diamonds. Carat total weight 2.65 :) This is a beautyyyyyyyy.

.

Sigh... Too bad my birthday's not coming soon! BleH :( But OHHH... Christmas is around the corner! *wink wink* Hahahaha...

.

Pics courtesy of Tiffany & Co.

Pics! :D

.
Yay! I finally got the green light to post these pics up!

.

She thinks she looks chubby *Mei shakes head* I reckon she looks damn cute! Especially in the bottom picture on the left corner! *teeheehee*

.

Our first trip on the City Circle tram, at night! (they usually run only during the day, in case you guys didn't know).

.

Cutie, Love ya to bits! *hugz* *muax* *pinch*

.

Muarghahahahahaha!

Who the hell cares?

.

Poor me, stuck at home studying for the upcoming exams next week. House arrest is downright pathetic!

.

My highlight for today would have been the phone call I made to the clinical school around

4.30 pm. Yes!! I passed my psyche long case examination. For those who are not sure what a "long case" is... It's a LONG and painful examination which you've got to sit for, in order to pass the semester.

.

You spend 45 minutes one-on-one with your patient, persuading him/her/it to tell you what-the-hell is wrong with him/her/it... constantly praying that they're not bluffing you, or shitting you out! And then 15 minutes to arrange the information/crap you just obtained... write out a nice presentation, and pretend you'll know what to do next. Finally, you walk confidently (or at least attempt to look that way) into the interview room, where you supposedly present your case, and then spend 25 minutes getting grilled by two furious, intimidating looking examiners!

.

So yes, I think I just made it sound quite bad. And yes, I went through that... and passed it! Woohoo... One down, three more to go for the semester! Crap! I hate exams.

.

The weather is just so freaking hot today, that I can't seem to concentrate. Yes yes, I know I'm just blaming the stupid weather for my inattention. But really, I can't wait to party. I had to turn down invitations to Amber, gelati, bubble-tea today... *sigh*. Mei wants to get out~! Can't hardly wait!

.

And speaking of hot, Korean singer, Lee HyoRi is damn freaking hot!

Yes, this is one random post indeed. But who the hell cares?

I have given up...

.

Just something I wrote sometime ago....

-------------------------------------------------------

.

I have given up,

Sitting by the phone,

I have given up,

Waiting for you to come home.

.

I have given up,

Convincing myself that you care,

I have given up,

Pretending that you're still there.

.

I have given up,

Thinking that we've got a future together,

I have given up,

Believing that you'll love me forever.

.

But really, dear...

All I have given up...

Is lying to myself,

That this way, life is better...

.

Whilst There's Life, There's Hope

.

After reading the recent news about the 25 years old Australian, Tuong Van Nguyen, who is to be hanged to death next Friday, I couldn't help but to feel sad and sorry for him.
.
For those who are not aware of this, he was charged for smuggling close to 400 grams of heroin in transit at the Changi Airport, Singapore. He revealed that he agreed to courier the heroin for a Sydney syndicate, for he had to pay off his twin brother's legal debts, and a friend's loan. Currently placed in a maximum-security prison and visited by his family everyday, he can only seek solace in his family's constant support, and letters from friends and supporters.
.

The Nguyen twin brothers, when they were younger.

.

The Australian government has tried everything to avoid a death row, but it seemed that PM John Howard revealed that there's nothing more he could do for him. I guess most of you will say that he deserves it anyway, for drug trafficking, and we all know how strict the Singapore and Malaysian governments are when it comes to drugs.

.

But I couldn't help but to feel sorry for him. It's gonna be a life taken away. And he's only 25! He won't even get a chance to repent, to learn from his mistakes, and be given an opportunity to correct it. And hanging is definitely not the most pleasant way to die! But I guess, the law is always there for a reason. And if you break it, you suffer the consequences.

.

He made some drawings and notes to his loved ones, during his last few days. Check out the photo gallery. And I was truly touched after reading this article. I am emotional, I know. :P

But I am..... only human, after all.

Post Long Case

.

Just finished my psyche long case presentation!!! *sigh of relief* But somehow, I still have this nagging feeling that I might not pass. Maybe because I didn't feel like I've presented my management plan to the best of my ability. Words just weren't coming out right! Damnit!

.

All dressed up for my long case presentation examination this morning :D
.
But oh well, nothing I can do now. I don't wanna sit around, worrying about it!
Interestingly, one of the registrars said to me this morning...
.
Reg : You look stressed! Cool down. What's the worst that can happen?
She : A fail?!?
Reg : Girl. Remember that failing is only a minor inconvenience in life. It's not the end of the world. Here, have a lolly :) and good luck!
She : Aww. Thanks
.
Oh well, it's over and done now. Don't wanna talk about it anymore. Just keeping my fingers crossed! I don't want to sit for a supp paper! It's just gonna be horryfying! Absolutely terrifying!
.
On a lighter note, *hehe* I got home early today, and I've got a day off tomorrow! Came online... Had to satisfy myself with some juicy gossips, being a girl and all :D hahaha...
.
And look at what I found @ technorati.

This Is But A Dream

.

I had a dream,

A dream of you...

Turning your head,

Walking away from me,

.

I woke up happy,

Realising it was just a dream,

Then sank back and wept,

For you...

Really are gone...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I thought I was stronger than this,

That I am over this,

But...

.

This is getting all too tiring...

STRESS! ^**#@*^%~!

.

My messy desk... full of books and multiple text-liners. And of course, drinks and snacks to keep me sane.

I guess the title of my post is obvious enough as to what I've been busy doing. Or at least attempt on doing! I've got a psyche long case this Wednesday! and they haven't even told us our exam venue! Arseholes! I wanna know what to "spot"... something extra to read up on! I need to vent, I need to rant, I need to ramble! ARgH!!!

.

I hate this semester in general! Been so crap! I've been slacking too much. Not because I want to, (well, I kinda do) but it's because we had nothing much to do! Rural was particularly crap! WAYYY crappier than other blocks. But still, exams are coming, and I've got no friggin' idea how to study for crappy blocks! Everything just seems too ambiguous! I like structure. (aetiology - risk factors - signs and symptoms - investigations - diagnosis - management - prognosis.)

.

I can't wait for exams to be over! We finish really late this year! Later than the final year meds! How is this possible?!? They're done... All partying like crazy now! :( *sob sob* And me? I finish in December! For the first time ever, we finish in December! Gosh, I bet if I told anyone else, they'd think that I probably have to sit for a supp paper, that's why! :(

.

Boohoo. Studying sucks!

I've got really short attention span. Tried doing some reading, and before 2 lectures, I was heading to the pantry, getting drinks, raiding the fridge and eat fruits... bingeing on chocolates and lollies... and playing with my new mobile :)

.

Some random pictures of me... while "attempting" to study. Keyword being "attempting" *hehe* albeit always unsuccessful.

.

Hate my "chee-na" aka chinese looking eyes! Look even smaller in the pics, without make-up and mascara! Perhaps I should get some Dawn Yang eyes too. She's so gorgeous, although possibly not 100% au naturale. (Crap! I've been reading too much gossips! and I'm not making any accusations here)

.

Hhmm, must get to know her plastic surgeon! (if she has one. I'm trying to be politically correct, so that I don't offend anyone.) Or maybe, I should mingle with plastics registrars now! *hehehe* Sorry, that was the shallow, stressed out, spastically demented, superficial me speaking!

.

Back to the books now! :(

.

P.S : I think I've got attention deficit hyperactive disorder! *boohoo*

Do You Wanna Be An Egg?

.

3 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD NOT BE AN EGG

• You get laid only once :(
• You take 5 minutes to get hard! and you STAY hard... FOREVER!
• The only person to sit on your face is your mom *grinnn*

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Got this from Xan :D

I think it's quite funny! *hehehe*

Disclaimer : I hope this is not too offensive to some :D

Pleasant Surprises!

.

Yummylicious chocolates... aren't they just heavenly? Who doesn't love them, rite?

.Well, i absolutely love chocolates... in fact, I think I do binge on them when I get stressed out!
.
But you know what beats chocolates???

.

.

ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUSLY SINFUL CHOCOLATE SURPRISES!!!
.
.
First, I got THIS!!

Yummy Godiva chocolates!! If you haven't had a taste of heaven, you've got to try this! *hehehe*

.

And then, THIS!!!

.

Sensual qualitied, uniquely can't-do-without KokoBlack chocolates! Absolutely, totally lurve them!!!

And finally, came THIS...

Mei's all smilesssssssss :D

Thank you all, who made my day! Y-U-M!!! *yes you, and YOU... points finger at ya* ;)

And now, should I be off to the gym after all the chocolate indulgence? *hehehe*

Lalala :P

. Things spastic people do with new phones! *tee hee hee*

Bliss...

.

To those who have been asking why I haven't been blogging...

I've been doing some reading/studying and lots of hibernating the past few days.

And people, it's only been two days! *teeheehee*

Exams are around the corner, so I can't help but to feel anxious and scared.

.

But something happened two nights ago, and it kinda made me pause a little, take a deep breath, exhale... and relax...

.

It.... Rained.

.

A view of Victoria Street, from my bedroom window. It was probably around 1-ish in the morning. But that moment felt like eternity. It was as if time stopped... and it stayed 1-ish forever. I looked out, and I couldn't resist taking a break from my busy schedule, and just... admire the beauty of it all.

A "romantic" shot of my room... Kinda like this picture... the lighting and all. You can see "honey" and my sister, at the bottom corner..

Love the view from my bedroom window.

A shot of my messy study desk, Spring St Towers, the beautiful view of the church and the horizon (can't really see it from this angle though) Sorry I'm a lousy photographer.

But it was a really nice night, with the rain patting on my windows... No words can describe how it was. Even the photos do no justice.

You should really take some time listening to the rain, smelling the rain, catch it with your dainty li'll fingers.

It kinda felt as if the rain washed all my sorrows and my worries away...

Rain, it restores peace...

And then you realise, that life is worth living after all...

For the rain, and definitely, for the rainbow that comes after :)

It's got to be...

.

If you want it,

But can't understand why,

You feel it,

But you don't know why,

Maybe that's love,

Maybe that's right...

.

Dedicated to a very dear friend...

*HuGz*

I can't wait!!!

.

Blehhh... I had such a longgg day today! Having to wake up @ 6am in the morning on a Saturday, ain't really my definition of a weekend. Well, usually I'd still be in bed till noon. But oh well, none-the-less, I had a good day... :) although I was dead tired by the end of it, but on my way home... something kinda lifted my mood...

As I walked down Bourke Street....

.

"When it snows, ain't it thrilling,

Though your nose gets a chilling

We'll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,

Walking in a winter wonderland."

.

And there was a seaaaa of homosapiens, queueing @ Myer, to go on this "adventure with Santa" thingy. You can literally crowd surf! Everyone's feeling Christmas-ey already! And it's like... more than a month away... Look at all the deco's and stuff everywhere!!

.

The enchanting strings of star displays... hanging like chandeliers... all over Melbourne CBD! They span from Swanston-Latrobe, to Flinders... and all along Bourke Street. FASCINATING!
.

And oh! The Christmas trams are operational already... You can even have photos taken with Santa inside the tram... :) *Mei feels like a little kid once again!* I don't really be on Santa's lap, but I DO want my pressies! *winks*

ps: please ignore the man's shiny bald head. He was sitting right in front of me, couldn't have "avoided" it. *teehee* Just wanted to show the decorations hanging in the tram.

.

On board the Christmas tram. With people singing Christmas carols and Santa entertaining us! It's almost perfect!! Almost....

There's only one thing missing!

SNOW!!!

Mei wants to be at the other side of the hemisphere now! It's just that, when I was a little kid, I always had that mental picture in my mind, that when Christmas comes, it's gonna be snowing, and there'll be nice bright lights and decorations everywhere... and you get heaps of pressies under your tree!!
.

Mei wants to be here!!! So So So niceeeee....

*Dear Santa, please make my wish come true* keeping my fingers crossed! :)

Addiction?!?

.

A Thing we people do to past time...

A thing we do at parties...

A thing we do at dinner outings...

A thing we do at our regular coffee sessions...

A thing we do...while waiting for the movie to start...

A thing we do erm, pretty much everywhere? *teehee*

.

Well, it's just... a thing we do :P

*snap snap snap*

.

Chubby Mei and Ade, while waiting for the movie "Flightplan" to start. Pics courtesy of TMY's new phone. If you think they're blur... you know who to blame ;)

.

Swee, Ade and Mei... *colgate ad*

All smiley, cause the seats in the new Hoyts cinema are comfy! And oh, I can't wait to try the "falf pipe" cinema! They've got huuuggeee, comfy beanbags for you to sit on, the whole time. I wanna go, I wanna go... while the beanbags are still new and erm... not flat cause some fat-ass's been sitting on it for too long :(

Oh well, what can I say? I'm an addict! *snap snap snap* :) And yes, Mei wants a new, slim, sleek, digital camera!!

Satisfieddd *burrrrpp*

.

I didn't have Jap for lunch... I lied... *hahaha*. Nah, I was supposed to get california rolls & sushi from the sushi bar @ the new Austin cafeteria... but we ended up having free lunch from drug company :) so yeaps. that was good... Had sandwiches and rolls... Not too bad, considering they were freeee! *Teehee* the wonders of drug companies, promoting their newly researched wonder drugs! Who cares?!? I didn't even know which drug company sponsored the lunch. I was merely there for the food! *nyet nyet nyet*

.

BUT...

.

I did have Jap for dinner though! *yummmmm* Cravings satisfied. Mission accomplished! Mei is now one happy person! *grin*

Mei, Fun and TMY, enjoying our bento sets. Sashimi was gooodddd...
.

My satisfying dinner... *teehee*

.

Hmph! Ade didn't wanna be part of the gang... She didn't want to have the bento set. Opted to have i-cant-remember-what ramen instead! But it looked quite good :) Perhaps I should try that, when I get my next Jap food craving!

Till then.... nitey nite and sweet dreams all! Have got a long day tomorrow! Need my beauty sleep... *hehehe*

And oh, "Flightplan" is a must watch! IF you're doing psychiatry... :) Nah... It's a good show!

Alritey, I'm off to bed. Granny here needs to get to bed early! *haha*

Cravings

.

Gosh... I feel really yuck now! Had boring pasta for dinner, and fast food for lunch. And instant noodles for dinner last night. I hate exams period! Hate the stress, hate having to stay home. Wanna go out and pamper myself with a nice Jap dinner...

Trying to study, but can't seem to get my mind off THIS...

Dinner @ Meshiya at QV. Teppanyaki was yummmm...

AND THIS...

Jap dinner with TMY & Richard.

AND OF COURSE, THIS!!!

Lunch @ Misuzu's.

Perhaps I should have Jap for lunch AND dinner tomorrow! *hehehe*

Back to studying! "And the main features of a bipolar disorder are... miso soup, ebi tempura, sashimi, california rolls, okonomiyake... " Arghhh!

Mei needs to be brain washed... :(

What Type of Kisser Are You?

Got this from Laine. *thanks gal*

*Hehe* Had nothing better to do, so...

here it is...

You're a Romantic Kisser

For you, kissing is all about feeling the romance You love to kiss under the stars or by the sea The perfect kiss involves the perfect mood It's pretty common for kisses to sweep you off your feet

.

What Kind of Kisser Are You?

.

*Hehe* you guys should try it out too :P

On Life...

.
I sometimes find myself drifting
Through this life without effect;
I often wonder if I'm truly
Worth what I've been blessed.
.
You see me happy everytime,
So confident and strong;
Yet when I am alone,
I question, just where I belong.
.
Is there some hidden meaning?
Some agenda yet to be found?
A greater purpose waiting,
for me to be around...
.
It seems the harder that I try,
To focus through the haze,
Just serves to add more questions,
Through my endless, tired gaze.
.
Perhaps I'm trying too hard,
To understand it all,
For can we ever truly know
Just what life have in store?
.
Will my searching bring me,
Life's meaning through time,
Or will it leave me confused,
Just as I am now...
-----------------------------------------------

Perhaps,
I'm just thinking too much... *hehe*

The Art of Procrastination

I was trying to get some studying done last night. Took out my notes, and started sorting them out, just to realise that I've got notes missing! Hmm, maybe I lent them to someone? Maybe I didn't take notes? Maybe, I wasn't even there for those tutes! *hehehe*. Oh well, that'll mean I've got to make new notes, in order to study :(

.

The sorting out took longer than expected. Went to bed around 5am, after doing a little reading. And as expected, I couldn't wake up for the tute this morning! F***!

.

Well, woke up and had lunch, and attempted to study for like... the 900th time! without any success! Checked my e-mails and *Woalaa!!!* saw this interesting site that my friend sent me. It's this online face analyzer thingy... Tried it out and... this is the result!?!

. What the?? I'm 94% Middle Eastern and 6% Southern European? Hhmm.. This can't be right! But but... I'm 100% Chinese :( And I certainly do NOT look anything like Beyonce! Although I secretly wish i do! *hahaha*

.

I made another attempt, cause I wasn't satisfied with the results! *hehe* And besides, I don't really wanna hit the books!

.

AaAhhHhh!!! What?!? This is even worse! I'm a rojak!! 2% Middle Eastern, 35% Southern European, 20% Anglo Saxon, and 42% Korean Japanese!! And erm, Paris Hilton?? :$

3rd try... Still not perfect... But at least I'm Asian now! And Faye Wong ain't that bad... I think she's gorgeous... although she's a little old. *hehe* But, I'm still more Korean Japanese, than Chinese :( Mei is one confused galll...

Ok ok, 4th and final attempt. I am seriously starting to doubt the accuracy of this blardee analyser... and then... *Taadaa*

I'm a 100% CHINESE! *hooray* hehe. And I'm a beta academic too! smarttt... I likeeee... and hey, It's still Faye Wong! *hahaha*

Try it out! www.faceanalyzer.com

And that's basically what I spent my time doing, the whole afternoon... *sigh* Silly things I do to not hit the books. When you're procrastinating, everything seems interesting and appealing... Way more appealing than reading about rehabilitation, aged care and *yuck yuck* Rural Medicine...

OK, wayyyy too much time wasting. Time for dinner now! My tummy's started to grumble. Well, at least I can say "It's a necessity! I'm not just procrastinating!"

Highlight of the day: The tute that I missed, got cancelled! *hahaha* YaY! Am I lucky? or am I LUCKY??

Gratitude

.
To You,

Thanks for the conversation early this morning,
Thanks for carving a smile on my face once again,
When everything seemed bleak, and I felt like dying,
Thanks.... for keeping me going....

Thank... YOU...
for everything!

Good luck for your paper! *HugZ*

Posers!

.POSEURRRR!!!!

*Hahaha* Just got this pic from Ade. We all look like a bunch of posers! But hey, I likeeee... such a cool photo, don't you reckon? *tee hee hee*

Soaking up the sun! Woohoo!! Haven't had such a sunny day in a longggg time! And breezy too... NICEEEEE! :)

Potluck Partayyyyyyy

My initial plan of staying home and study for the upcoming exams fell through, when a friend of mine said "We should all party this weekend, cause we haven't seen each other for such a loooooonggg timeee.... and then we can study on Sunday!" *hehe*

I know I know! I just needed an excuse to justify my actions. :P

.

Went to SueLyn's place @ Flemington for potluck! Well, I can ramble on, but I guess, I'll let the pics do the talking :) After all, a picture paints a thousand words, rite?

Happy, cheery people! :) Was supposed to be an all-girls pic, but then SQ wanted to be in as well, so we grabbed Eric along, to balance the photo. And oh, Choy just couldn't resist diving into the photo! *hahaha*

Thanks everyone, for making my night a memorable one! It was certainly greattt seeing everyone again after such a long time! Love you guys lots! SQ, thanks for organising this, and Sue, thanks for providing us your place. Hope we didn't trash it real badddd...

Alrite, I guess that's it for now. Perhaps I should go hit the books. *sigh* Too much procrastination for one day! Must must must start studying! Argghhh... *gggrrr*

Take home message: hehe. Med students can have fun too :P Bleks!

Validations in Life

.

I was chatting with a friend of mine just awhile ago, and we got to talking about old times, old friends (gosh, I feel old now. Crap!) Well, you get the picture :) It was an honest conversation that I needed, which was strangely disturbing yet reassuring and comforting at the same time.

.

It got me thinking of the friends I've gained, friends I've kept, and friends I've lost over the couple of years. We all know that we can't possibly please everyone in this whole wide world, or make everyone like us for what we are. But why do we always need validation from others in all we do?

.

Over the years, I've come to realise that life is too short, and I'm not getting any younger. So why waste time pleasing people around you, more than yourself? Do what you desire, what fulfills you, cause at the end of the day, when you go knocking on Heaven's door, it's not gonna be them answering it!

.

Be true to yourself, and to your heart... cause your true friends will accept you for who you are, and the rest are probably not worth keeping anyway.

.

"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are." -- John Wooden

Mei needs to learn to love herself, be more unaffected, and brave.

Damnit, it's almost 4am, and I'm awake, typing this rubbish. It all sounds too familiar to you, doesn't it?

Another year older

Happy Birthday Leonard!

One year older huh? *tee hee* May this year brings you many happy returns, and may all your wishes come true, of course. Just don't be too greedy and wish for too many things k?

Too bad we can't party tonight, since everyone has to study for exams! But hey, we'd definitely go party after that! hehe... and get Krystal drunk once again? (Krys is soooo gonna kill me for saying this!)

Just one with the girls... Clockwise from top : Pei Sze, Mei, Krys, Julie
