VERY belated 20th PEARL

(might as well, since i'm on a photo-upload-roll)
((yknw how single slices of birthday cakes are usually a tad sad and miserable..well if it's any consolation, i think this is the yummiest slice of birthday cake ever))


very happy girl looking good

i wish .. i could just eat this without having to share with freda and wendy ..

da and i started dancing .. left and right

then bobbing up and down..

omg wassup i really look like a baby here

random; ms wting huang youre sorely missed on a random night sg time 3:02a.m.

-

btw wasabi peas are rolling around in the can theyre packaged in, making so much noise and giving me random heart attacks at 3:04a.m.
(that was before i discovered the source of those odd sounds (yes it took me 1.5mins to run through the possibilities of where it could possibly come from, fingers frozen midway hovering above my keyboard, and another 0.5min to resume frantic fast furious typing in relief))

don't you know 3a.m. is like an in/auspicious time for ahem..

-

tonight we're forming our own group of friends, organising activities, dreaming up the life we'd be living had the others not discarded.

people tell me my ipod is too depressing and belongs to an emo kid
my new favourite song will shut their mouths
and curtail images of me sitting by the window sullenly or
running around the streets tear-stricken

cos i have a happy song!
a very happy song!

>> Anthem In; I'll Tell You Everything

even though it's still a big bleak world for a sick (food poisoned) small (chest) girl
with hair so long and straggly it disgusts herself
and weak knee joints that ache
after a 40min lovely umbrella-clad evening stroll to j8 ntuc for grocery shopping with fellow adventurous (visited 7 wonders of the world i.e. sahara desert, ganges river..is this even one of the 7 wonders..bangkok uneven dusty roads..now i've totally digressed from 7 wonders of the world theme..along the trial of the great world of china..and were suddenly inspired to break into a sprint cum shrieking fest, forgetting all fatigue from never-ending journey, when we encountered a frog and thoughts of the endless possibilities of millions of frogs hidden in the wilderness flooded our minds) long-time-no-see pal stephcheong who is by the way the bravest girl i know, packing her bags a few hours before heading out for yet another school camp, feverish, giddy all and this is just the longest sentence i've ever written and would totally be my GP /media writing tutors' worst nightmare.

found an organic food haunt! (charm, why so secretly!)
hope it tastes as yummy as it looks!
cant wait for next visit!
(my current crumbling stomach can't..stomach heavy meals/ tasty food/ much food at all without hurting)

-
some pics finally.. uploaded all on facebook and feeling really really lazy to do the same here plus .. not advisable given the number of shots, as you can tell by my loosely defined 'some pics'.
all in very random order.

(lazy to flip pictures too what's new)

Epiphanies in life are sometimes literally skin-deep.

omg! i just had my first successful nose peel in my life

bought this 2-step nose thingy for fun, from bkk's Beauty Buffet (an equivalent of bodyshop/ faceshop) and never occured to me it would work. im a classic beauty-product-cynic (this product i'm raving about is evidently a slip of my usual alert cynical self after being doused with some holiday joy naively thinking all is good .. but but but this is a fortunate slip!)

step1 is this orangey citrusy scrub with miniscule molecules and once you rub them on your nose it instantly gets all tingly. this supposedly clarifies your pores.
step2 means time for a mask after you've washed off remnents of step1. spread sticky thick white layer and it forms a peel-off mask within a while (idk how long is this while i was busy chictopia-ing). there i was, all annoyed that i had to leave my study room and beloved laptop, thinking what a chore is was to try peel/ rub/ scratch off this white nonsense off my nose.. but tadahhh the entire white layer peeled off nicely and the most amazing thing was i could see my white/ blackheads on it!

AWESOME!!

it cost me like 190baht hello as compared to 40sing Origins which, now that i'm reminded, is actually hibernating in the bathroom serving a function no less decorative than .. the clock next to it which has silently stopped working at 4:20 on an unknown day.

/p.s. the worrywart me is now upset that my small tubes of steps1 &2 will run out in no time and i'll be left with strawberry nose again!!!

Ruslana Korshunova, the 20-year-old supermodel whose face graced the cover of Vogue, committed suicide on Saturday when she fell from her ninth floor apartment in New York's financial district, according to the medical examiner's office.This is some of her work.

her hair is just as amazing as her face.
20 is like..my age.
a thousand times more gorgeous, and perhaps a thousand times more tragic

okay im off to my homely domesticated sunday finally packing my new clothes, old clothes and whatnots strewn all over my rooms

BACKK FROM BKK
pics soon if im not lazy

I Y BKK,
apart from some scary cabbies, bitchy salesgurlxx and boizz, &&intense land and air pollution
(i have zits as proof! >:()

hold on to your words
cos talk is cheap.

i'm loving Pushing Daisies!!
It's totally dark but funny and makes me nervous watching it but in a good way
whimsical is a good word

anna friel is gorgeous! very natalie imbruglia + audrey tautou + girl from Love Actually who made out with the president

Secondhand Serenade; Fall for you

i finally got down to packing my own goodie bags littered all over my study room floor
and now i've moved the mess to my bedroom..dubious questionable products neatly packaged and lined up on stands and my dressing table..i really don't know what to do with them! i don't really dare to try them but it's such a waste seeing them everytime i walk in and out of my rooms. can somebody tell me about vichy and clinique and makeupstore and decleor and and.. i really dontknow enough japanese characters and french words to decipher what's written on labels and the back of boxes.

i have prolly put 10 products on my nose for the past hour. i just checked the mirror and i don't think it's doing it any good at all. sigh. nose reconstruction pls.

these days when i'm feeling down (not when i'm angsty..it has recently dawned upon me that i might have anger management issues developed from god knows where and are currently unable to be curbed) i listen to secondhand serenade's fall for you and au revoir simone and think about agnesb, woodwould, Joy the baker and jco donuts.
and sometimes mushroom-head containers, coveted over-the-top notebooks, pens, pencilboxes and basically completely futile little food mockups leaves me with a magical calm.
it doesn't solve any problem, dissolve any thought of inferior complex or disappointment, but i'm just weird like that.

can somebody explain to me why after 2 weeks of deserting my laptop i see an ant weaving in and out of my keys?!?! it's totally distracting and disturbing!!

i shall hopefully come back from bkk with skirts, shorts, leggings, tops, dresses, lingerie, bangles, slippers, presents, a tummy that still functions normally, sane unchemical-infused hair, red cam brimming with happy pics, all recharged and inspired enough to pack my bedroom.

i'm really feeling the whole summer flowery frilly/ lacy see-through thingy going on (i don't think it should be categorised as vintage cos i think the term is just so over-used and completely not apt for something on-the-rack with millions of carbon copies apart from being obv brand-new) but topshop just makes them so frustratingly outofreach.

my favourite sandwich/ salad haunts are Coffeebean, Toast and Food For Thought. Toast for being most.. healthy. or maybe it just tastes like it is. but still. i'm someone easily deceited and will be happy remaining in the dark.

took pictures with colleagues at work! but the pictures are with nette. who will only send them to me in my next lifetime. monday's our last day. i'm actually rather sad about it.. hrmm.

oh fuck i really have a problem with my nose. i am penelope!! and the movie, by the way, really sucks as much as my nose.

okay i'm totally rambling back to packing ugh.

neat girl / (very) unkempt boy announcing it's summer

hours ago i was fretting over the appearance of my examiner silently cursing him for being 20mins late and making me feel all forgotten;
now i'm listening to au revoir simone, cursing myself and still trying to calm down.

minutes ago shiro was jumping all over me licking my hair despite my annoyed protests;
now it's listening to au revoir simone, a picture of calm and serenity, falling asleep


v.s
regular visits of relentless fatal attacks on a certain occassion
(but nevertheless applies for all occassions)


i think i will play it au revoir simone from now on
