wonderful words

I haven't seriously blogged in quite awhile. It's always been photo entries, food talk or brief descriptions of my day. The are all devoid of emotions except happiness. Maybe this is why my friends always think I'm having a ball of a time, or I never experience loneliness, depression or insanity ever since I went to london. Quite wrong.

I have been on an emotional rollercoaster over the past few months that i've been away. My heart has been thrown against a locker, dragged through the muddy lands of the unknown and locked up in a torture chamber. I'm just glad to be able to rest and recuperate my broken down heart and mind right now, in my warm cosy comfy home.

I would have to say that if i have learned one thing about myself is that i absolutely abhor loneliness. I can handle alot of things that come my way with a nonchalent, uncaring attitude, but I cannot handle loneliness. I used to like pilfering a little time away to be by myself, but now, no way. I have been surrounding myself with my loved ones all the time because i know when i go back, it'll be months before i can see or touch them again. Missing home is the worst feeling ever.

On a brighter note, plans have been made for NYE and I'm so excited! I was actually squealing like a pig a few hours ago. And i have a surprise waiting for me tonight, i'm so excited, i'm bursting with fruit flavor!

I have less than 2 weeks left in singapore. I wish i could have more time here. The thought of being away again for 6 more months is unbearable. I like London, but nothing beats home.

1 year anniversary

opening presents

1 year

I have been loving my life so far. I've been meeting up with old friends, chilling out, match making *wink*, shopping, hanging out with the boyfriend, stuffing my face, partying etc.

oh, did i mention that today's our 1 year anniversary?! I've never had a 1 year anniversary before and today was the best day ever. I'm still beaming with joy and I can't wipe the silly smile off my face.

light in my eyes

I was so impressed tonight by my boy. After 1 year, you'd think that there is nothing left to learn about each other. But yet, he was able to completely sweep me off my feet. The best part about the whole thing? he wasn't even trying.

There was no planning involved, no money, no sweet words, no hugs, no kisses. Just him. I wish i could have melted into the walls and watched him the whole night.

it's absolutely impossible to describe how proud i am of him....but my heart is swelling with pride. I do not know how to suss out what it is exactly that i'm proud of. All I can say is, he was wonderful tonight. (yes, there are stars in my eyes as i say this)

*sniffle*...

I bought 12 pieces of ben's cookies for everyone back home. I was running late, so i chucked them in my hand carry bag. And when i opened them, alot of them had been smashed and not to mention, soggy. Damn the humid singapore air. All my money.....ahh...

On a brighter note, have i mentioned that i love coming home? My mom has been cooking all my favourite food, she went out and got me some stuff for my hair (awww), I've being showered with so much attention and love, and everyone's being so nice to me, including my brother!

speaking of my brother, he's grown up so much in the last 3 months! He's taller,bigger and stronger than me now! BUT, it still doesn't change the fact that i can still slap him around. teehee. He eats pretty much everything, so he appreciated my soggy, broken up ben's cookies :) what a sweet little thing...

Home

The past 2 days have been insane.

Friday night, I finally got down to last minute laundry and packing and I packed all the way till 7 in the morning! But, on the bright side, I got to see my first sunrise in london.


nice huh?

The next day went by in a mad rush, and my nerves were completely shattered by the time i reached the airport.

a 12.5 hour flight later, I'm back home!


ah...home sweet home.

I'm so happy my bed isn't lumpy and small, my floor is squeaky clean (bankside carpets have dubious stains on them) and I'm being pampered like crazy:) I love my home

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHRUTS!

We celebrated shruti's birthday in advance because sung and megan are heading back home tomorrow. (aw, i'll miss u guys)





We had dinner at 'pizza express' and suprised shruts with a strawberry custard cake from PAUL and a huge card! :) hope you liked it shruts! :)

Crepes

We all headed down to hampstead to have crepes.

Chloe was telling us how she had to queue for an hour the last time she went there. Fortunately for us, there was no queue. :) It was soooo good! It was quite hard to ignore all the butter that was dripping out, but still, it was delicious.

After that, we decided that we hadn't sinned enough, so we all headed down to haagen daz for some ice cream. According to jie, "it fills up the cracks between the food".

santa claus is coming to town

teehee...3 more days of school left and I'm off to tropical sunny singapore!

My mom just told me the christmas tree has arrived! I'm so looking forward to entering my warmly lit house, filled with the scent of pine and christmas carols playing softly in the background. I want to lie next to my tree and surround myself with my presents and wonder what lies inside the pretty wrapping.

ah! christmas is coming!! It's that time of the year we bring out all the christmas shows (the grinch, scrooge, home alone, nightmare before christmas...etc), go shopping for the christmas turkey, send out cards, and soak in the jolly atmosphere. I kinda feel like santa claus...I'm going shopping tomorrow to buy presents for all my darlings back home!

The little girl...

Slumber party!

It wasn't exactly a slumber party since none of us slept over. It was more of a binge party. haha. We gorged ourselves silly on tons of junk food! I've never had so many krispy kremes in one sitting. It was so good...but i felt incredibly sick after that. But it was a blast :)

On a side note, Les miserables - A Little Fall Of Rain is so bloody good. All girls (especially if u love love songs) should listen to it. It's been on repeat for the past few hours and I'm still getting goosebumps listening to it. I'll send it to you if u want it.

spoilt rotten

Urh. So stressed out! a key from my keyboard came out!! so now theres a gaping hole in my keyboard. Gotta get it fixed when i go back to singapore.

My speakers that my sister lugged all the way from london are spoilt. dammit

i have 3 assignments due tomorrow ( i am gonna complete it) but i hate rushing my homework like this. it takes a toll on my nice black hair :)

I wish I could have more hours in a day. I'm definitely gonna work harder next week and not let myself get distracted. Right now there are just too many things that are diverting my attention away from my work.

On a brighter note, tmr is ben's cookie day, a slumber party, and outlet shopping on saturday :) AND, next weekend, I'M GOING HOME!!!! I'm so looking forward to seeing my family, my baby, and all my dear friends! Anyone want anything from london? Don't be shy, just tell me!
