Another wedding

Weddings are the most wonderous thing that can happen to a lady.
I'm patiently awaiting.......

As we grow older together,
As we continue to change with age,
There is one thing that will never change. . .
I will always keep falling in love with you...

My eyes

A struggle to choose, in saying something and wishing you had not, or saying nothing, and wishing you had?





You are like my eyes...
They blink together, move together, cry together, see things together and sleep together.
But they never meet each other.
They stay as two separate bodies.

I cant get it off my mind.
I cant get you off my mind.
And that is why, you probably are supposed to be there. Or not?

happy public holiday!!

Xuanhong...

Xuanhong is busy. Busy with work. Working at being busy.
Then there came today. A day when she stops and think.

"Work is a blessing when it helps us think about what we are doing; but it becomes a curse when its sole use is to stop us thinking about the meaning of our life"

Now, Xuanhong is still busy. Busy with living life.

Of love and companionship

LOVEBIRDS...

My big sis brought home a pair of lovebirds some weeks back. They teased, ruffled, romped with each other. Deep attachments between them both were evident as the days go by. Soulmates and playmates.

One died two days ago, and no one was sure why. It is a belief that lovebirds survive only in a pair. Without doubt, my big sis took the lovebird to choose another partner the very next day. Yesterday evening, the cage was once again occupied with a pair of lovebirds. I saw them both standing far apart within the huge cage. No noise. No movement. It was the total opposite of how the old couple used to behave. I gazed at them through a glass panel as I sat looking out into the balcony. That moment, I thought I felt the grief of the surviving lovebird mourning for his late partner. I thought about how true love really exists.

Two hours later, after my dinner, as I sat missing someone out there, I decided to peek at the awkward couple once again. The wind was blowing strong outside then. The lovebirds were perched on the same branch as they huddled close to each other. What a drastic change! They are inseperable since.

I have come to realise that, as loneliness engulfs oneself, irrationality and emotions take control. Adversity strengthens bonds, even at times when we least expect it.

Love versus companionship? They don't at all times come hand in hand.

2008

LAZY. No word can better describe the lack of posts. I would have fared better if 070707 is the date of my wedding. But no, it was simply the date I chose to step foot back to where I belong. So folks, im back in spore. Period. Back to my world of laziness. =D

im flying....

tO New Zealand tmr... for about 2 weeks... then to Queensland, for about 1 week... then TA-DAH! im flying back to spore! =)

the only thg tt's flying faster than anythg...

ive fiNally resurfaced...

It has been awhile, but ive finally resurfaced. A period of hullabaloo. Long tales to tell, short time to write. But i'll try yea? ; )

The Beginning.

Not too long ago, my life was turned topsy turvy.

23rd April 2007, Monday, when my laptop found his voice and said to me:

Yea, it went kaput. And so did I.

Along with it went my assignments (rem the DEADlines to meet?). And along with it went my beauty sleep. Simply put, u sleep, i wake; u wake, i also wake. What for?! to use my fren's laptop to do my work at night whilst i attend classes in the day la! duhz! thank god uni life's flexible, with more breaks than one can ever imagine. And thanks to my sweet sweet cl who lent me her laptop and beared with my weird quirky ways.. a mil thanks! =)

What's more, dunno die. I flew to Melbourne (1st May - 6th May, 2007).

A picture taken in Melbourne. Sorry fOlks, not gonna post up any pics of myself taken in Melbourne. The ugliest period of the already ugly-fied me. Fat, pimply, oily, smelly, silly me. Yea, that's how bad I was then. So, over my dead body am i gonna show u those pics of me. Frenz who have them (aka e 2 pals 'S***' n 'L***'), u shld noe better what to do... =P

4th May, 2007 (Fri). He spent a birthday in the absence of someone. The first of 5 birthdays. Not that im complaining. I saved on gifts! =X

6th May, 2007 (Sun). The birth of Potato-head! =D The ditsy old soul who pulls me up when im down, yet crushes me down when im up. There when I want it. Even there when I dont want it.

11th May, 2007(Fri). She flew back from the country she's been in for 2 years. The association shocks all, saddens all and worries all. But she's strong, and so are we.

14th May, 2007, Monday. School, as usual. Stayed in school to use the PC, as usual. Tried to do work, as usual. Tears nearly flowed, unusual. Diverted phonecalls, unusual. Sank, unusual. School, work, home, life, struggle. Then, I know im only human.

16th May - 23rd May, 2007. My 2 pals came and went. A little distant, but still my gems.

In the midst of their arrival, travelled to Gold Coast n Byron Bay with 4 of the best company I can ever have.

It was undeniably tiring. But one of the best times ive had. Emphasis on 'I'.

Well, it was enough of play and back to work thereafter. Dearest laptop's still taking a rest after a month whilst i slog my heart, soul and lungs out. That's not enough apparently. Ive ran out of words to say, so i'll insert an abstract quoted from one i hope doesnt mind.

These are such understatements of the turmoil in the past weeks. Hai. Im just glad it's now 8th June, 2007! My torments are over. My life, which was once shattered, is slowly piecing themselves back together. Hopefully. =)

The last of my days in Sydney. In Australia. The last of us 5 living under the same roof...

Yeap. I tried to keep it short, simple and sweet. =)

The End.

it's a wonder i dont FEEL my way around...

a tale tO tell..........

we all have a long winding path in life to journey on...

at times, we feel alone...

at times, we feel trapped...

at times, we lose our directions...

we crumble...

we surrender...

even attempt to take the plunge...

but... life's journey is not a solitude affair...

a hand on your shoulder, a pat on your back...

and an imbecile always cheering us on!! =D

JIAYOU!! JIAYOU!! JIAYOU!!
