Unforgettable.

Most of our lives are a series of images. They pass us by like towns on the highway. But sometimes a moment stuns us as it happens, and we know in that instant that it is more than a fleeting image. We know that this moment, every part of it, will live on forever.
- One Tree Hill


Warning: Picture heavy post ahead. Aaah, I haven't posted one of these in a while have I?


Anyway, these are the moments that will live on forever from my month long break between semesters. It's a bit delayed but looking at these pictures brings back the holiday mood again which provides the perfect pick-me-up in the middle of slogging though this semester.


(And Gill, I know that anonymous in my chatbox is you. So don't complain I never put up pictures liao.)

My beloved Jowee's birthday pretty much kicked off my holidays (even though I had one last paper after that). It was wonderful being able to celebrate with her and even more awesome now since I see her everyday!
We must go for that mani/pedi Wee!
Darling Adele was next. We really do need to stop going to Delicious don't we?
Oh and I remember I met Kern Wen on that day too! It was nice meeting you even though your photography skills leave much to be desired! =P


Next up, planning Wai Yee's surprise birthday (which was er...how many months late again? Whoops. It's the thought that counts, I swear!)

That's us with our hard work!




Oh, look how we've grown!



Anyway, we went to Full House for lunch and also to spend some time with Kia Shen who was back from Aussieland. Their straws are really addictive, everyone couldn't stop playing with them after we'd finished our drinks.



Belated birthday girl and I.



Oh and LOOK! I had to post this up. I think this is the first time ever that I've seen the both of them in shorts and slippers. They are usually so well-dressed! Yes, you can proceed to make fun of them now. ;)



Caught red handed in the shower. Tsk tsk. KY, what will Han Yang say hmmmm?



And this is Ri Hao, who looks quite like MJ in this photo I must say. And this was around the time the news of MJ's death broke. =/



SURPRISE! Sorry we were so late but better late than never right?



So now you guys know. If you really want to surprise someone, surprise them when they least expect it. Which would months after their birthday. Confirm your surprise will be successful. XD
The girls.




After a few round of playing King, this is what you get. Tomato red faces all round.
And Kia Shen who was super high that day kacau-ing Siok. In fact, that was probably the tipsiest I've ever seen him. =.=



I have a whole series of pictures of them kacau-ing each other. >.<
See what I mean?

Ohohoho! Bottoms up!



Our poison for the day- Absolut Kurant

aaaannddd.....


Midori.
Which in my opinion tasted like cough syrup. I know it's really expensive and all but still. Cough syrup! Supossedly, it tastes good when mixed with Coke. But we didn't have any that day.



After that, headed to Jaya One's Duck King for dinner. Ah, fun times fun times.



And here's Wee again. We were off to Bangsar for a shopping spree! And it was damn jammed so we camwhored! =D


I like this pic. It's courtesy of Wee. Another year before that P sticker comes off. Le sigh.



If you didn't already know, this is Jowee and we have been friends for 13 years and counting now.

She is the cutest ever goldfish I have ever known.



See what I mean? So comel.


As you all know, Wee and I go waaaay back and when we were younger, we used to have these 2 diaries that we would write in and exchange every 2 weeks or so just to keep in touch and update each other on our lives.


I flipped through the diaries again yesterday and oh, it was a blast of the childhood past.
Pages and pages filled with scribbles of our daily lives about boys, heartbreaks, family dramas, crushes, friends.
I feel so old just looking at it now. Oh, how we have grown and matured.


Oh hindsight though, some things still remain the same. Wee has always and will always be the more creative one, the dreamer, the optimist, the thinker, the artist. It is so evident now that I look back and see.


For example, this was written in 2006:


Jowee thinks:
  • People are beautiful
  • The world today is evil
  • People are too judgemental
  • People are too weird (and everyone is mentally challenged, since all humans are flawed anyway)
  • Pink brings world peace
  • Cartoons are cute and entertaining
  • Being young is WAY better than being old! (Don't wanna grow up)
  • Music has tremendous power
  • George Bush should rot in hell
  • Bigfoot could exist (Who has actually disproven it?)
  • The Olympic Games rocks
  • Blogging is wonderful
  • Nothing is impossible

and

  • Love conquers all



Ah, doesn't this sound like the Jowee we all know and love?



"I wanna go online and blog my brains out"

-Tee Jowee



Wee, this was written in 2006 as well when you're internet was down. And ironically, I'm waiting for your internet to be fixed NOW, so I can have my dose of Jowee everyday!



(Wee, I hope you don't mind me posting that here!)

The Cutest PickUp Line Ever...

Boy: You dropped something today.
Girl: Really, what?
Boy: My jaw.




Awwwww.
One of the ones that I think would actually work in real life as compared to nonsensical shit like "Do you have a map, cause I think I got lost in your eyes". =.=

The World Spins Madly On.


"All I know is, if you don't figure out this something, you'll just stay ordinary, and it doesn't matter if it's a work of art or a taco or a pair of socks! Just create something new, and there it is, and its you, out in the world, outside of you and you can look at it, or hear it, or read it, or feel it. And you know a little more about you. A little bit more than anyone else does. Does that make any sense at all?"



Sometimes I forget why I blog. Why I started blogging, why I still want to. And then little quotes like these remind me again. This blog is a representation of me. It may not be the best representation but still, everything here is handpicked by me, written by me. It's a little piece of my life that I want to share with you guys. I guess in a sense, this is me leaving my mark here.



I was looking through my old blog posts in Xanga the other day and I really did write some pretty amazing stuff back then. Looking back, I'm not even sure I could produce the same quality of posts now! Granted, my Xanga blog was filled with lots of stuff in my daily life, but in between those posts about my outings and holidays were some pretty meaningful posts. It may not mean much to you guys, it means a whole world to me because it reminded me of what I was thinking back then. Then again, some posts are so cryptic I have no idea what the hell I was talking about. I really need to be less cryptic when I do my occasional emo posts don't I?



Anyway, this post seems quite random but I'm just typing whatever's in my head at the moment because I can't seem to structure my thoughts anymore. There's too much stuff buzzing around up there and I have a severe case of writer's block. It feels like everything I type, write or say doesn't feel right anymore. Or that could just be me being a perfectionist.



Today was one of those happy days. It may not have been perfect, but it was a happy day. There was such a sense of possibility flaring through my veins and I felt alive again. I hope everyday will be as awesome a day as today. =)



Hence, I shall end with just a little awesome reminder about life:

Five Fashion Friends.

I know I've been stingy with updates. But but but... I'm here to introduce you guys to this new blog which I set up with Melissa, Andrea, Nicole and Kit Mun. It's called Five Fashion Friends and it's mostly about fashion, beauty, makeup and all that girly stuff. (But since my blog readers are mostly girls anyway, I figured it doesn't really matter. ^_^)


I know we're probably not the most fashionable people on earth. But we do like getting all dolled up and we have a huge interest in fashion plus the blog is a really good way for us to keep in touch style-wise. So, do gallop by and show some lurrrrvee if you're interested!

Here's the link again in case you missed it the first time:




So everything related to fashion, beauty and clothes shall henceforth be posted in that blog. Not that I post a lot of that here, but occasionally I do throw in a few pictures of what I wear. And I think I might just do a post in the near future on 'How To Do Swan's Crazy Eyeliner' since my makeup is usually the thing that people ask me about the most. ;) Do wait for that and check it out!

The kind of flawless I wish I could be.

I've never really believed in the whole horoscope analysis thing. But I found this one quite accurate. Scarily so in fact. Sorry if you can't read Chinese.



射手座终极分析


乐观与忧愁:射手座人的内心不是外表看上去那么乐观的,因为喜欢看的远,容易担忧的事情也就多,在他们的字典里,即使现在好,也不一定代表未来好,有时候很多人觉得很好的一个工作或一个伴侣,他们很轻易的就会放弃掉,可能只是因为一个毫不起眼的小原因。所以,这样的外在表现,就让人们觉得他们不喜欢被某件事情或某个人束缚住,追求自由的,没有压力的感觉



现实:常说射手座是追求梦想的人,但往往忽略了他们现实的一面,算计起来不会比处女座差哦,只是更高明更隐藏罢了。射手座人的梦想是必须建立在现实的基础上的,一般他们很少谈及自己的梦想,而是实际的去做一些向梦想靠拢的事情。如果可以借巧力完成的事情,决不会多花一点工夫。(So true this one!) 所以有时候射手座也容易给人耍小聪明的感觉。可是,不得不承认他们完成的还满不错。也许终其一生,他们都在考虑怎么巧妙的做一些事情,花最少的精力去达到最好的效果。 (Exactly! Why would you WANT to do extra work if you can do JUST the right amount and be done with it?) 所以,很多射手座看上去让人们会觉得很懒 (Meh, I don't deny that I am lazy.),但是其实他们的大脑可没有停下过思考现实的事情。



拒绝低俗:几乎所有的射手座内心都是骄傲的,其程度绝不亚于狮子座。只不过他们不会显现在脸上,外在的表现总是随和的,恰当的。可是内在有着极强的自尊心,敏感也情绪化。因为射手座人心中是骄傲的,所以他们拒绝低俗,不喜欢任何俗气的、粗鲁的事或人。如果可以,他们希望一切有关的事物,都是优雅的、高尚的,值得品味的。而真正能让他们觉得值得交朋友或谈恋爱的人是很少的,虽然表面上他们是很随和的.



多情:很多人说射手座多情,尤其是男性。其实在射手座人的心目中,对于爱情确实有理想化的倾向,和他们谈恋爱,是一件高难度的事情。他们非常讨厌俗气的人,所以你不能很物质或喜欢谈钱,但是他们又很现实,(I am materialistic at heart, I do not deny it.) 所以你不能一文不名,各方面也必须有一定的实力。物质与精神,你必须平衡的刚刚好,才让他们觉得你值得去爱。或者,你有足够的神秘感,可以让他们不知道你的缺点在哪里,而盲目的爱你。一般,当然是没有完美无缺的人的,所以,可能象金牛座这样永远会让射手感觉捉摸不透的闷闷的人,会非常吸引他们;或者象双子那样,足够机智,懂得察言观色,捕捉他们的情绪,才会让他们感觉到爱情的甜蜜。一般射手的感情模式是,第一阶段,你们还不熟悉,他(她)爱上了你,非常热情。第二阶段,你们逐渐熟悉,而他(她)开始龟毛,整天挑剔你的毛病,无论是背地里还是当面。如果你有幸通过他(她)的挑剔过程,基本挑剔出的毛病为零或者你把缺点保密的非常好;那么进入第三阶段,他们就又是忠诚和热情的爱人了。但是基本能通过第二阶段的人非常少,所以有了射手多情一说。其实射手对恋人的挑剔,是源于对爱情的挑剔,对丧失自由感的恐惧



射手座人的人生,往往是幸运的,(I really have been lucky on a number of occasions) 因为他们是聪慧的、明朗的、通透的。与众不同,也许是他们终生追求的梦想,(Why be like everyone else when you can be you?) 希望每一个射手人,可以找到他们的梦想!   


人人都说射手座是感情的骗子,对爱情不尊重,只追求片刻的快感,是花心与冲满欲望的象征。朋友们…你们了解射手座最真实的一面吗? 射手座是大孩子,天真与善良,遇到爱情时,可能让人感觉不认真,付出的比谁都少。可是,知道吗?射手座很想爱,却也很怕爱!刚开始他们只是慢慢的付出,谨慎的爱,好怕自己会受伤可是在一句一句的爱,一天一天的相处下,射手座把带刺的防备丢掉,开始不顾一切的去爱他们所爱的人,在别人眼中,只是射手座为了达到某种目的而作的行动。可射手座不介意,他会在自己幸福的想象中陶醉,希望对方能感受自己的爱,想对方觉得与自己一齐是幸福的。 在射手座爱上了一个人,他会把自己放到最后。有苦自己承担,可能会因为吵了一场小架而不开心,却也是最快认错,无论谁的错,他们都会包容,知道吗?射手座会因为深爱一个人而原谅他的背叛,会因为你的一句话付出很多。他们爱玩,在玩的同时,也希望把那一份好心情带给你,射手座是乐观的。  


人们总觉得射手座的世界很快乐,可是呢?射手座难过时没有人知道,他不想让别人可怜自己,射手座不坚强,可是很善良。在你难过时哄你开心,让你有依靠,分手后,他会哭者去想属于你们俩幸福的回忆,也不想爱的人因为同情而勉强和他一齐。他比谁都希望自己爱的人快乐幸福,却常常忽略了自己,全身都是伤也笑着告诉你,我很好不用担心。(Why should you let other people worry about your own shit?)   


在所有人看到他的笑容以为他没事,却不知道失恋对射手座有多大伤害,华丽的外表下有一颗脆弱的需要别人了解和安慰的心。知道嘛?你的一点关心,心思细腻的射手座会记得你对他的好,把自己的爱毫无保留的送给你,射手座是不被了解的,可他们不会怨谁。他们会傻傻的认为,让我承担吧,别让别人也受到伤害。所以,不要让快乐的射手座痛苦,别让他们最有魅力的笑容成为掩饰痛苦的伪装,认真爱射手座。你会知道射手座的爱,是充满泪水的…



The last line was wayyyyy to dramatic but the rest IS pretty accurate la. Maybe this why we Sagittarius understand each other better than other people?

We Think Too Much And Feel Too Little.

"What they don't understand about birthdays and what they never tell you is that when you're eleven, you're also ten, and nine, and eight, and seven, and six, and five, and four, and three, and two, and one. And when you wake up on your eleventh birthday you expect to feel eleven, but you don't. You open your eyes and everything's just like yesterday, only it's today. And you don't feel eleven at all. You feel like you're still ten. And you are—underneath the year that makes you eleven. Like some days you might say something stupid, and that's the part of you that's still ten. Or maybe some days you might need to sit on your mama's lap because you're scared, and that's the part of you that's five. And maybe one day when you're all grown up maybe you will need to cry like if you're three, and that's okay. That's what I tell Mama when she's sad and needs to cry. Maybe she's feeling three. Because the way you grow old is kind of like an onion or like the rings inside a tree trunk or like my little wooden dolls that fit one inside the other, each year inside the next one. That's how being eleven years old is."



Oh how true. I definitely don't feel 18 sometimes.
It's reassuring to know that I can still be 5 years old when I get all excited over simple things like ice-cream.
Or when I look at soft cuddly toys and feel all fuzzy inside I know that's my 8 year old self.
Or even when I make weird faces across the dinner table fully accompanied with strange noises I can feel my 10 year old self again.
Or when I'm awkward and have no idea what to say to during social situations, that's when my 12 year old self comes to life.
And then when I become all klutzy and trip and fall over everything I know that's my 14 year old self.


Or that could just be me, in general, being clumsy. =.=

The Show

I am going to get slaughtered if either of my sisters see this post but I just thought it was too cute!


Aaah yes. Our family is indeed reunited and we look quite normal hor?
Well then, take a look at the many faces of my family:


Me and my elder sister have taken to making faces across the dinner table lately. And it is usually instigated by me. I'll make a face at her and she'll make one back at me.
Don't think she would be caught dead making faces at anybody else though! :P
So this is her face caught on camera!
And then I started the guppie mouth, so BEHOLD!!!

Guppie number one.

Guppie number two! LOL.



Guppie number three is yours truly.

Aaaaaaaaaaaand....

Guppie number four!
My mom refused to let her guppie face be caught on camera so no cute pictures of her guppie face. :(
She cannot do the proper guppie face (the one where you have to suck in your cheeks like my second sis punya picture) so I sometimes tease her for it which is probably why she wouldn't do the guppie face. Oh well!



And another one of my dad's priceless expressions:

No he was not sneezing. He was trying to blow out the candles. =.=
So there you have it! My crazy little family. ;)

Ocean Avenue

"I think everyday is made up of tiny little tests. Some are tests of character. Some are tests of fortitude. Others are tests of friendship. And if you're lucky, when it really matters, you'll pass with flying colours."
- Scrubs
I want to pass the test of friendship with flying colours.
So many have left Malaysia in the pursuit of education this year.
What used to be gatherings with whole groups of people have steadily become just a handful.
And there are many more yet to leave, more farewells and goodbyes and more friends scattered all around the globe.
Firstly, there was Jon's farewell.

I've known Jon since Form 1. And even though we weren't super duper close, I think we will always have this special bond because of Kuen Cheng and ECC. And that goes for all the members of the 'English Group'- Gill, Adele, Joo Ling too!

I thank God you're still here Dele. You make up the core of my support system!


And I'm still waiting for Jon to come back to go for Delicious again! She is my Delicious kaki, along with Adele Wong of course.


And so, this was the first farewell of the year.

Mel's Farewell

Part of the ssaps.
Mel's farewell hit me much closer to the heart because practically for the whole of last year, I've been seeing her almost everyday. True, all of us ssaps only met last year in college. But I think I can safely say that we formed a strong bond of sisterhood together.

All the lunches we had during college, the shopping trips and movie excursions, the ridiculously many-peopled MSN convos, the lepak-ing and of course, the memorable, awesomely insane and fun escapade to Langkawi.
And of course, carpooling with Mel to and fro college as well as hanging out at each other's houses since we live so close to one another.
There's so much that I sorely miss!
Really, everything seems so incomplete whenever Kit Mun and I go out because you're not there!



And then it was Andrea's turn.

(I couldn't attend Ann's farewell at her house so I'll just use pictures from Teik Chi's open house/b'day. =/)
And the shopping buddy goes down by another one. Sigh.


At least, Mel and Ann are together in Perth so we're not completely scattered and apart! :P

And after that, Joyce's farewell.
Aaaand there goes another college friend.


Kia Shen's farewell

The first to leave among my close primary schoolmates.
He made a joke that it's okay that he left because there's still his twin in Malaysia so we're gonna be seeing him anyway! Lol. XD
But still, it's not the same.


The most recent one- Nicole's farewell
I was really sad to see her go. That's less one person to discuss assignments with in Monash and chillax + gossip with (like we do after Accounts lecture). Less one person to stress together when exams roll around and less one perso to hang out with when holidays come.


And not to forget, less one super fun, witty, quirky and dynamic friend here in Malaysia.


I mean sure, some of them might come back for holidays (like Kia Shen now) but most of them didn't and I miss them so much!!
Sure, there are many other friends in KL but really, things just aren't the same without them here.


And I guess, what I wanted to say is that, I may not talk to you guys very often on MSN. But I do love and miss you guys a lot and I really want to keep in touch. And you are all very special to me.
And while I'm on the topic of friendship, I think the best kind of friendship is the kind where you can just pick up and continue from wherever you left off despite not having to meet up regularly.
It just proves that you really do click and enjoy spending time together and that your friendship wasn't just out of convenience at the time because you see each other everyday.
So cheers to that kind of friendship which I know I have with all of you. :)
Sometimes I find it scary how quickly time has passed. It's the middle of the year now. If everything goes according to plan, I myself only have half a year left in KL before I zoom over to Aussieland as well.
And when that time comes, my support system will truly crumble and that will be the ultimate test of independence.
It's so bittersweet.
Thinking about that makes me feel so elated and excited but yet so sad.
I will miss so much about KL, my family and my friends.
Oh well, we'll save that for later! ;)
Currently craving for- Guitar Hero
I miss Guitar Hero! Whose house got? I want to go and play!!!

The Circle Has No Beginning

There's just something about staying in nice hotels that gets me really excited and happy.
Maybe it's because I associate staying in hotels with holidays and who doesn't love holidays right?
Anyway, my dad had this free night's stay at Sheraton Imperial in KL which was expiring soon so my sisters and I went to make use of it.
It was a super last minute plan but I'm glad we went for what I call our 'mini escapade'. ;)
We checked into the hotel pretty late- around 6-ish I would say.
Went for dinner at Celestial Court, Sheraton's Chinese restaurant since we had a RM75 voucher that was expiring soon also.
And that's my smart father who totally forgot all about the vouchers until they were about to expire. =.='''

Yesh, I know my roots are showing. Please ignore it. Can't be arsed to dye my hair again since it is so damaged liao. =.=


Celestial Court was having this interesting promotion thingy where dinner is an all you can eat thingy for RM88 per person. Basically, you just order whatever you want from the menu and they serve it to you in small portions. All of us thought that was pretty cool since Chinese restaurants rarely ever do that.
As you can see, we went a little overboard trying to sample everything and ended up having a mini feast. I wouldn't say the food was exceptional though, it was pretty standard Chinese restaurant food and I guess I expected more from a 5 star hotel's Chinese restaurant.
However, the ambience was really nice larh.
I guess these kind of places, you're really paying more for the service and the ambience more than the food.



The room we stayed in. It was surpringly big!
Somehow, I don't seem to associate Sheraton with the likes of other 5 star hotels like Shangri-la and Westin which made me mildly surprised (in a good way) about the room.
The truth is, Sheraton is under the same group (Starwood) which owns Le Meridien, Westin, St. Regis and other luxurious hotels which makes it every bit as awesome as the others.
Since I didn't think Sheraton was up to par with the other hotels I mentioned, I was totally shocked to find out that a normal room costs around RM500 a night which is about the same as Shangri-la. But Sheraton's rooms are wayyy bigger!


However, the only complaint I have about Sheraton's rooms is that the night curtain (the orange one) cannot fully be drawn! It can only be drawn up to THAT much (refer to picture above) because get this, the curtain track ends right there! Can you say no privacy?
Granted we were on the 22nd floor and it is unlikely that anyone will be able to look in since there are no buildings directly in front of the window, but still!
Plus as we all know, the day curtains are pretty useless coz they become see-through at night and still let the sunlight in during the morning.


My sister wondered what would happen if a couple decided to have sex with the lights on in the hotel room and someone in one of the smaller buildings had a binoculars/ telescope.
I told her it would be highly unlikely that someone who owns a binoculars or a telescope would be looking in the direction of a building but if they did, they'd get a free show lorh.



Mmmm. Yummy bed. Bed was super huge and comfy. The kind where you sink into and never want to get up. And it seemed bigger than the usual king size beds, super king maybe?


However the pillows were a bit too lumpy and offered very little support. I needed all three of the pillows stacked together to be able to sleep. =.=
The most awesome, best-est ever hotel pillows are still Shangri-la's. Just the right amount of feathery softness and support. When me and my sisters got a free stay last year, we were so in love with the pillows we were reluctant to say goodbye and leave it behind. =(


The hotel room had their own DVD player. Mind you this was only Sheraton's normal hotel room and they had a DVD player! Major plus point. Other hotels like Shangri-la only have DVD players in their suites which me and my sisters totally did not take advantage of since we didn't bring any with us at that time.


This time, we came fully prepared! Brought out laptops to watch DVDs but since they had DVD player, watched it on the TV instead!


The bathroom. Pretty standard I would say.


After dinner, we took a walk on Asian Heritage Row since it was just beside Sheraton. It was still early so there wasn't a lot of people yet.
FYI: If you ever go to The Loft or Bar Savanh, park at Sheraton and walk over coz it's only RM8 whereas jockey parking at Asian Heritage Row costs RM10.
Sister wanted to go salsa dancing so went back up and changed. I need to stop wearing my RM15 Sungei Wang purple dress mian. I wear it wayyyy to often. But I can't help it! It's one of my all time favourite dresses not only because it's cheap, but the material is surprisingly good and the shape is super flattering. ^_^

Went to Federal's Salsa Havana. They ran out of Baileys so I had Kahlua with milk instead. Supremely yummylicious but so so deceiving coz it tastes like chocolate/coffee milkshake instead of alcohol. =P
Anyway, by the time we went back to the hotel again it was 3-ish in the morning. Decided to make full use of the facilities so we watched a DVD- The Jane Austen Book Club.
The movie exceeded expections. It was witty yet thought provoking.
Definitely a must watch.
By the time we finished watching the movie, it was 5.30am. Sister crashed while I read a little Harry Potter (I know what you're thinking, AGAIN? Sue me, I'm a Harry Potter fan and the movie is coming out soon so must read the book again. =P) And finally went to sleep when it was almost 6 in the morning. I actually contemplated staying up and watching the sun rise since it would've been pretty spectacular with the view we had but decided against it in the end.
The parents were coming for lunch the next day (or the same day rather?) and I didn't want to look like a zombie.

And so our mini escapade ended. Had dim sum at Golden Dragonboat for lunch before heading back. Managed to get free white wine and a supremely yummylicious chocolate cake from Sheraton first though! =)
I guess what I really love about staying in hotels is that it makes you forget about everything for awhile and just enjoy the moment. Even though we didn't even leave KL (in fact we were right in the heart of it), it still felt so refreshing to just be away from home for awhile and bask in the luxuries of staying in a hotel. And I really did come back feeling reenergized as if I really was on a holiday. ;)
So if you ever want a mini escapade just to get away for a little while without actually getting away, just book yourself into a nice hotel and there you have it! Your very own mini holiday!
On another note, I'm currently enjoying my month long semester break now. It feels REALLY good not to have to worry about assignments and exams and feeling guilty for not keeping up with my reading. Also managed to catch up with quite a few people which was really good. I'm loving waking up at 11 every morning and watching MTV or some other television program til noon and just lazing around doing nothing, spending some time just thinking. I haven't watched television in goodness knows how long it actually feels like a luxury to be able to do that and just sit and do nothing but think for a bit.

So there you have it, a little update on my life at the moment. I still have a lot of backlogged posts but I figured I'd post something recent and up to date first.
I'm craving for another mini escapade larh. Anybody wanna bring me? =P



Currently madly hooked on- 21 Guns by Green Day
