endlessly - the cab

2011-12-19T22:10:00.000+11:00

... I'm not perfect but I swear I'm perfect for you...

There's no guarantee that this will be easy
It's not a miracle you need, believe me
I'm no angel, I'm just me
But I will love you endlessly
Wings aren't what you need, you need me

I know you need me...

#counterRev

2011-10-01T14:51:00.000+10:00

oh my, long time no blog...
this blog is especially dedicated to the epic time, which is Counter Revolution I attended on Friday 30th September.
Some bands were electricfying! like awesomely good, if there's such a way to describe it.

Panic! at the Disco were fitting as the headline act. I was a lil doubtful at first to be honest coz I must've forgotten how good they were when I saw them in 2006. and also maybe I was swayed coz Pretty.Odd wasn't that mind-blowing of an album. I have definitely restored my faith in them now.

All Time Low, need I really say more?! I had a FUNtastic time dancing and listening to them dirty talk on stage. Oh, Alex and Jack... typical. oh did I mention, bras... bras being thrown on stage. normal for every show.

Yellowcard - first time seeing them. damn, they're good! defz seeing them again.

Funeral for a Friend was a little disappointing but I still like their songs lots. not to mention, those arms on the guitarist and bassist. wow! defz redeemed.

these... just to name a few bands... but seriously, I had like a whole day of fun!
quite filled up with pop punk goodness.

no photos here tho. if you wanna check more stuff out, google it!

2011-05-03T04:22:00.000+10:00

is it right, to sit and watch this die?
we're slowly letting go,
like it's better left alone.
so erase the damages we've made,
the stories left untold,
is better than you know.

The Story Left Untold - Every Avenue

2011-04-21T02:39:00.000+10:00

I'm scared and I don't know how... don't know how to just leave the love behind.
I think it'll always be there and I just have to somehow get use to it.

life's hills and valleys, I just hope you'll hold on with me.
I need to get through it, no matter how long it takes.

worries

2011-01-31T06:48:00.000+11:00

I think the issue with us (as in my friends and I) these days is the fact that we're feeling the worry of mid-life crisis when we're not even a quarter of a century old!
yes, that's right, we're not even 25! in fact, we're a few years away from being 25!
why are feeling the stress of it all now?!
I hate the pressure that it poses on us, weighing on our shoulders and being at the back of our heads all the frickin' time! it stays in the subconcious and then once in a while, more often than we think actually, it'll come back into our consious thoughts to haunt us.
oh... sheesh!

graduation.

2010-10-30T17:06:00.000+11:00

hello, it's been a while.
and I've been a bum.
the family was in town for my graduation.
and that's me.
the next accomplishment of my life.
I feel good wearing that trencher.

2010-10-04T19:30:00.001+11:00

relaxing in perth and the weather is beautiful.
if only I had that one person to share it with...

2010-08-29T22:17:00.001+10:00

what becomes of the broken-hearted?

2010-08-04T04:48:00.002+10:00

vacation... then back to reality.
it sucks.

rollin' with celebs, well... just one in this case, A GOOD ONE!

2010-07-22T04:16:00.000+10:00

playes craps at crown casino with Ashton Kutcher tonight.
yep, u read right, ASHTON KUTCHER!
YEAHHHH! money money money! :)

2010-06-25T00:15:00.000+10:00

I haven't updated in ages.
been bored and too busy to update. but I'm still alive and well.
actually, hanging. but yeah. still here.

I'm in Jakarta at the moment, but I wish I was still in Singapore.
if it weren't for my moms and pops, I don't think I'd be back for so long.
but I also have documentations and such to settle. blehhh...
but I know everything will be ok (and I mean not just with the things I mentioned above).

le sighs.

jetplane.

2010-05-29T17:57:00.000+10:00

how's everyone doing?
it's been a while.

I'm going back home! YAY!
I arrive in Singapore on 4th June (remember the date!).
going back to Jakarta on 21st June, returning to Singapore again on 2nd July.
write my name down in your daily planner already!
let's meet up. :)

now, to get the assignments out of the way first.
after that, goodbye uni life!
I'm graduating, hopefully! haha.
see you in Singapore and Jakarta.

to mommy dearest.

2010-05-09T14:51:00.002+10:00

Happy Mother's Day!
I love you, Mom.
<3

2010-05-04T02:13:00.000+10:00

hello, I've been busy.
pretty sure I'm not neglecting you.

trying to decide too many things with very limited choices.
and not to mention, little money.
*sighs*
flights, duration of stay, money, cost, surgery, etc, etc, etc.

2010-04-23T17:00:00.000+10:00

hello, long time no post.
there hasn't been much update from the last really.
for now I'll be boring.
hopefully it'll get more interesting soon. in a good way of course.
let's hope.

2010-04-15T00:18:00.000+10:00

one long month? or one short month?

heartbreak-ville

2010-03-25T12:26:00.001+11:00

another week go by...
I want things to get easier.
it is still hard on me. just trying my best to get by and come to terms with what I'm supposed to.
being happy is the best value you can get in life.
I think that's what we should all aim for.

I'm too scared to lose you for good.
I want to keep you in my life, even as a friend. if that's what it takes.
I love you.
I know, I always have, always will.

2010-03-17T03:53:00.001+11:00

it's been one rough week for me.

my frolics with famous people.

2010-03-05T03:00:00.001+11:00

that other dude from Emarosa. He likes my hat.

I'm excited because it's gonna be chinese new year soon. but I really dislike chinese new year songs.
they're annoying. like really annoying.
looking forward to good food and "angpows" tho! woop woop!

neway, I gotta go pack now.
will update soon when I'm richer. LOL.

2010-02-01T19:06:00.000+11:00

greetings!
sorry for the lack of update.
my laptop has totally failed me and I can't blog on my blackberry coz the website is too big to load or something like that.
so now I'm taking the time at singapore airport to blog.
ey, at least it's good internet connection.
in like an hour an a half, my flight will depart singapore for jakarta.
and here I am, wasting my time away to blog till it's decent boarding time. hahaha

so it's been a week since I got to singapore and now I'm leaving again.
not to mention, a few of my friends are leaving this island country too.
safe flight to all! :)

hopefully I'll still get good internet connection back home.
more updates soon!

dilemma...

2010-01-20T03:07:00.000+11:00

about booking flights to perth...
about internship...

I'm excited but nervous.
I don't want rejection.
let's just put it that way.

enough mulling for now.
wish me luck!

2010-01-10T21:00:00.000+11:00

how's everyone doing?
have the new year been treating you well so far?

I'm glad my resolution, well part of, was already accomplished.
I didn't get sick!!! YAY!
my laptop, however, gave up on me.
so I guess the money I saved up has to go to that.
so many things I want, so little money.

I want to travel.
I want a Chanel bag.
but at this rate, I think the bag would have to wait. oh well...

but I definitely can say that the new year has been going alright so far, I can only hope it gets better.

hello 2010!

2010-01-02T04:50:00.003+11:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
end of the decade.
better make the start of a new decade a good one! :)

hope your new year's eve celebration was awesome.
lots of love.
xoxo

merry xmas & happy new year!

2009-12-27T22:13:00.000+11:00

I hope everyone had a good christmas day!
and got lots of presents.

but you should know that Christmas lasts for 12 days till 5 Jan.
so still, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
and hope you'll all have an awesome NEW YEAR! :)

lots of love.
xo

lurks you!

2009-12-10T02:28:00.000+11:00

I think developing a bad habit of lurking other ppl on the internet in the middle of the night is not a habit to keep.
agree? yes, I agree.

it can lead to some fun and randomness tho.
but still, it's not a habit that should be kept.

I'm talking to myself.

boys, boys, boys!

2009-12-07T03:48:00.002+11:00

haha.
"perving" on boys.
oh night, you make me feel like I have nth better to do.
as a result...
make good eye candies tho. :)

sore.

2009-11-30T04:15:00.003+11:00

my right forefinger got cut by my credit card tonight.
it's ouchie!
so now I have a sore forefinger.
one less finger to type.
this feels awkward.

actually, scratch that. my fingers are all sore.
in fact, I'm all sore!

life... at this moment.

2009-11-27T04:08:00.000+11:00

I need a holiday.
in fact, I want one, real badddd!

oh, I also want an internship, real baddddd!

see, it's during these times that I'd say I hate the world and all that shaz.
I just wanna party. maybe go home and party.
and by home I mean, Singapore and well, Jakarta.
altho I'd assume most of the partying will happen in Singapore.
but it'll be too expensive a lifestyle without money.
at least here, I can always count on connections and knowing bartenders.

suddenly, with that last thought, I wouldn't just say I hate the world, just yet...

goodnight now.
work tmr.
oh yes, I've become a "slave" to the money. unfortunately.

skin change, you like?

2009-11-26T03:07:00.000+11:00

so like I said in my last post...
my last blogskin went berserk on me and decided to delete it's background.
so I decided to change it to a rather simple one.
Of course adding my own touch to it.

I actually stayed up when I told myself that I should be sleeping like 2 hours ago.
So I'm off to actually sleep now.
I want a really really good dream. Make my sleep more pleasant so I'll wake up with a smile on my face.
Goodnight all.

2009-11-19T12:40:00.002+11:00

WHAT IS THIS?! REALLY?
my background picture to my blog just disappeared!
s'if!
I'm not happy.

2009-11-17T23:03:00.002+11:00

gulity as charged: I don't blog enough, I know.
and I keep apologizing again and again... and again.

But when I do decide to blog, the updates of my life are pretty mundane.
Now I can tell you...
sadly, I don't think I'll get an internship for this summer. :(
and I'll just be working and trying to save up as much money as I can.
so many things I want, so little money.
so many things I want to do, so little money.

and when I do decide to visit my blog, I will read some of my friend's blog just because I like to do it.
It makes me miss home tho as those whose blog I frequently visit are those of my high school friends.
if any of you are reading this, you should know that I miss you.

tonight, I feel a bit homesick and I have the sudden urge of wanting to fly back to Singapore. even if it's only for a weekend.
but unfortunately, I don't have the money to do so.
so... no chance. :(
altho, I think I'm gonna be back for Chinese New Year, which is quite exciting.
I've never gone home for CNY and I always miss out.
so let's see what next year will bring.
of coz I would love the chance to be able to catch up with all my friends.
if you are reading this, please make time for me.
coz it seems like no one really does any more. which really sucks.
communication is a 2-way street.

neways, enough of my rant.
I'll blog soon enough. hopefully next time it won't take another 3 weeks.

spread the love.
xoxo

2009-10-29T20:38:00.002+11:00

so I've been working lots!
and I'm bringing in the moolah!!
oh, feels good to have moneyyy!
hahaha.

I'm still waiting to hear to get accepted for an internship.
so pray for me and wish me luck!

so lately...
what's interesting is... I went to 'A Day in Pompeii' exhibition and today, the 'star wars' exhibition.
it was great!
definitely play days.

but that's pretty much the interesting stuff that's been happening recently.
oh and also the fact that early start at work doesn't stop me from partying. hahaha.
I'm awesome!
thank you. :P

2009-10-15T22:48:00.002+11:00

lots have been happening these past week.
and again, I must apologize for the lack of blogging.

so I had my 21st birthday party on the 9th of October, my birthday day itself.
it was good. and I had fun.
except I kinda wish that people who told me that they would turn up kept their words and actually did. altho I excuse those who gave me a reason as to why they can't make it at the last minute.
but oh well...

and my exam was a day before my birthday so that was good in a sense that I got it over with.
and now I'm on holidays! :)

I'm still however waiting for a reply on whether I'll get the intern position.
I'm hoping I will get it!
please pray for me. and wish me luck!

zomg! so true.

Colorgenics Number: 31257046

You are striving for a life full of activity and experience and, perhaps even more, an environment where you would be able to forge a close bond with a person who can offer full emotional fulfilment.

You are working extremely hard trying to improve your image. You need for those people in positions that matter to recognise your potential and to acknowledge you.

Compromise is the name of the game at this time and it is the only way you can avoid being deprived of the love and affection you so rightly deserve -so soften up a little, be flexible.

You are pretending that the situation around you doesn't matter, but the effort of trying to conceal your emotions and anxieties is resulting in untold stress. The existing situation is disagreeable. You feel unwanted and lonely and you would really like to associate with someone whose ideals are as high as your own. You want to be above the standard of mediocrity and this need to be needed and that need to need has almost become an obsession. You are trying to magnify the need into a compelling urge. You would really like to tell the world how great you are but no, you are holding back because you feel that your peers may treat you with contempt. This is a great pity because you have in fact a unique quality of character, but the continual restraint that you impose on yourself makes you suppress this need for others and you pretend you don't really care. You treat those who criticise you with contempt. However, to be honest, beneath this assumption of indifference you really long for the approval and esteem of others.

You really like doing what you do and, more than that, you like yourself. Your attitude to work and to life is that 'If its not fun - then don't do it'. You want to be liked and respected, not for who you are but for what you are - and it seems to be working.

found this link on Jesslyn's page. so true!

2009-09-30T03:30:00.001+10:00

and again I must apologize for the lack of blogging.
although I did actually thought of blogging of what it seems to be a few days ago, I didn't do it.
maybe I was too tired.

I've been busy. really.
with uni, with work.
with uni especially.
the assignments seem to never end. I can't wait till the semester is over.

and I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for the internship oppportunity.
got turned down by one. I have 2 pending still.
pray for me and wish me luck.
I really want this. like so badly!!!

2009-09-12T03:55:00.001+10:00

sorry, I know I haven't blogged in a while.
I've been busy with work and with uni.

oh and it's that time again, assignment, assignment, assignmentssss!
GAHHHH!
and it's work, work, work!
altho, I'm liking my job. assignments, can't say the same.

and I've got a cold again.
wish the runny nose and coughs would go away soon.
it's distracting me from assignments coz I can't think straight. :(
writer's block!

anberlin + the academy is...

2009-08-26T01:46:00.002+10:00

I went to a gig tonight, knowing that I'd come home satisfied.
Anberlin was amazing as always!
and The Academy Is... was great! William Beckett, definitely an eye-candy.
so worth the money.
oh, did I mention the opening band The Wherewolves sounded pretty good too.

put smiles on my face. :)

2009-08-25T19:28:00.001+10:00

YAY! I got the job at Boost juice! :)

boost juice audition

2009-08-23T23:45:00.001+10:00

on Saturday, I went for the longest and most fun job interview ever for Boost juice.
I'm hoping that I'll get the job.
so keeping my fingers crossed and wish me luck everyone. I'm hearing from them tmr!

mom sends love from the states.

2009-08-20T03:59:00.002+10:00

so my mom called from the states.
I was glad to hear from her.

the first thing she asked me was, "oh, you're awake already?"
and I said, "Ma, it's 3am here, I'm just up doing my assignment!"
then she started getting concern bout me not sleeping and asking me if I have class tmr.
well, technically today. but at least my class starts at 3pm. so it's not that bad.

sometimes I miss how my mom makes me feel like I'm still young and not that-girl-who-is-turning-21. if u get what I mean. hahaha.
she also told me she bought my sister and I lots of shirts/clothes from the states.
YAYS! PRESENTS! :)
at least that made me feel better!

I LOVE YOU, Mama! <3

2009-08-18T04:03:00.002+10:00

uni has been taking a lot of my time lately.
it seems that I have assignments due every week.
to add it on, I actually have 2 due next week.
BUMMER!
and another one the week after.
YAY! what a life right?! (ya, sense my sarcasm?!)

I haven't been out. as in partying.
clubbing and all that such.
I kinda miss it but at the same time, the plus side, it's saving me money.
also I guess coz everyone else are busy with their uni life and homework and jobs as well.
but I guess keeping me busy with other stuff that doesn't need much money is sorta helping.
and FYI, my social life is still in tact even without the partying! thankyouverymuch

So my last post was about getting a job.
guess what?! I have an interview this coming Saturday and I'm looking forward to it.
and I'm hoping that I'll get the job. :)
so wish me luck!

2009-08-11T15:53:00.000+10:00

hello, I need a job!
and the worst part is, applying everywhere still gets u rejected.
UGH!

stupid uni trimester system.

2009-08-05T17:38:00.002+10:00

so blogging seems really spaced out and scarce for me these days.
it's like I'm not drawn to topics to blog about.
but this that I'm bout to blog, is really getting on my nerves so I had to blab it out somehow.

neways, I wish I had mid-semester break.
damn, why did they bring out some silly/stupid trimester thingy so that we can finish the semester 1 week earlier?!
it's so silly to squeeze all that we can learn to a shorter time isn't it?!
13 weeks, barely enough and now they cut a week from that. and we don't really have study breaks before exams either. it sucks!
and I think it stresses the students so much more!
so they are trying to introduce back the mid-semester break thing. I hope it works.

ya, as you notice, I'm kinda pissed off bout the whole uni system thing.
coz it's stressing me out. and it's like only with my uni that this is happening. damn Deakin!
yeh, good idea to get the voice of the students! I think lots of us are going crazy trying to keep up with studies!
I mean having the short summer semester is one thing but to shorten all the other semesters too?! man, that's something else! something not very good in my opinion!

poor brains.

2009-07-29T03:54:00.002+10:00

you know sometimes you have those sleepless nights even though you're sick.
well, tonight is kinda like that.

and somehow it's making me think that there's more to life than just this life.

oh well, on the bright side, the cold has finally subsided.
oh please, let it be gone soon.
my face feels so blocked! UGH!
it's quite untolerable at times.

I've sort of decided that after I've fully recovered from this cold, I'm gonna do more interesting things. I don't exactly know what yet, but I will blog about it when I do.

on the other hand, I SO NEED A JOB!

2009-07-20T17:41:00.000+10:00

down with the flu bug.
me no likey! :(

2009-07-18T04:47:00.002+10:00

I'm a party animal.
party on thursday. a 21st birthday party on friday, jesslyn's birthday party on saturday.
whoa!

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me

2009-07-13T23:16:00.002+10:00

I miss the warm weather. and I miss vacation.

2009-07-08T19:22:00.002+10:00

so, I'm leaving singapore in about 2 days.
as much as I dread leaving, I also dread going back to uni. and also, the cold weather that I'm gonna be experiencing.
but despite all that, I'm also excited to be back in melbourne.
I guess it's a pros and cons sorta thing.

but meanwhile, with all the complaining of the hot weather here, I'm gonna make the most of it, coz it's gonna be freezing when I get back to melbourne.

so, u guys in melbourne, and if u're reading this, Odie will be back soon!
we'll party up and have a good time! :)

and my legs are kinda hating me. I've done so much walking and more walking.
it's crazy.
but I'm having tons of fun!
so it's worth it. :)

and the rest of France, has been wonderful too.
getting to experience new things and seeing stuff that I've never seen before.
interesting discoveries and of coz, eye-candies. hahahaha. :P
I wish this trip didn't have to end this soon.

2009-05-31T05:16:00.002+10:00

ARGHHH!
my final test is coming up and I'm so stressed out!
so many readings to do!
I just wanna pass/do well for this unit.
seriously, this subject has the most reading I've ever come across in my entire academic life.
these readings are never ending! GAHHH!
I just wanna get over with it now.

on a better note, Zing and Chelle Ng are coming to Melbourne!
YAYS!
we'll have lots of fun I'm sure. :)

and also, I'm leaving to go back to singapore with them on 8 June.
don't worry Melbourne, I'm not going back for good.
I'll be back in bout a month.

presets video

2009-05-25T01:01:00.003+10:00

The Presets video as promised.

it's not the best quality but still enjoyable.

for TIANHEE.
this is the awesome-ness you can expect from The Presets' music. :)

The Presets + Architecture in Helsinki

2009-05-20T01:46:00.005+10:00

tonight was AWESOME!
THE PRESETS + ARCHITECTURE IN HELSINKI!
WOOTS!
too bad missed out on VAN SHE. again. :(
missed out when they opened for Bloc Party.

even tho the concert venue was pretty much a drug fest I can say.
and despite the sweaty ppl that graze themselves against you, it was a good night.
a very good night indeed.
I enjoyed myself.
the lighting used for the show was awesome. beyond what I expected of anything.
and there was a lot of energy in their performance, it was so great!
altho, the fact that I was pretty much shorter than everyone else and I stood in the back, that didn't stop me from enjoying the show.
that's all I have for now.
but for those who wants to see them play one day, I say, "GO FOR IT! you won't regret!"

I'll upload a video when I can so you know what I'm talking about.
but still, it doesn't beat experiencing it live! :)

angels & demons movie

2009-05-16T04:46:00.004+10:00

it's bout time I blogged.

anyways, I caught Angels & Demons today.
it wasn't as dark and exciting as I thought it would be, but I still enjoyed it.
the storyline still flowed smoothly from scene to scene.
the arts and sculptures in Vatican City and the surrounding somewhat astound me and I would like to see it in real life. it would be amazing, I bet.
parts of the movie that made me cringe was nth related to violence or disgust of what the characters portrayed but more to the fact of destroying the historical archives and buildings.
and I reckon the movie would be better if it was darker and scarier, keeping you at the edge of your seat kinda stuff.

over the past days, I have thoughts that I've been wanting to put on here but as time goes by and due to procrastination, I now can't seem to rmb wad I was gonna say.
oh well... maybe it wasn't meant to be here. prolly just a passing thought.

also, if anyone would like to buy me that angels and demons movie poster (that I showed above), it will be gladly appreciated and will definitely be put up on my bedroom wall. haha.

seasons may change. <3 gel

2009-05-07T06:12:00.002+10:00

yeah, so I was just reading old blogs.
well, mine and also others.
it's interesting how the blogs have changed and the way we speak or type.
I'm actually kinda glad that I don't blog like the way I used to.
altho I blog less these days but still... it just makes more sense and it's so less childish.

so if you have a blog, or you're reading mine.
go read your older post.
posts from like 3 years ago (if you had a blog for that long) or something.
you'll know what I mean.

I know one of my difference is that at one point of time, I decided to change my I's in capital when talking bout myself rather than just the "i".
also, I think I need a change of blogskin.

it's 6am now and so many thought are running thru my head and I want some questions answered from a certain person.
not in like a creepy way. but hopefully I'll remember it for next time.
to this person, I miss you.
maybe we'll get to reminisce the past and catch up about each other's current lives.
hopefully soon.
you said it before that I need to learn to love and I did.
I wanna share that with you.
I don't know what you're up to but I always want you in my life.
You're a good friend and someone that I look up to.
for your literary intelligence, and somewhat for your taste in music too and that includes you ability to play the bass. haha.

RSA.

2009-05-05T19:02:00.003+10:00

YAYS!
I finally got my RSA. so hopefully it opens up more job opportunities for me.
serve alcohol. yeah! LOL.

oh, for those who don't know, RSA stands for Responsible Serving of Alcohol.
I know right... since I don't drink like ever!
hahahaha

2009-04-27T04:04:00.002+10:00

so it's been a week since I last blogged.
it just seems that there's not much that I wanna say.

well, I know I can think of some random facts like...
I've been watching "one tree hill", and I've finished the entire season 1.
I think I started watching on Friday.
yeah, I know it's freakishly fast. hahahaha.
but that's just me, you know...
I watch a tv series and I just get hooked on it.
and series or sequel with me, I just have to watch it from the very beginning or else it doesn't really make much sense.

so it's still also assignments galore for me.
the photoshop assignments just keep coming!
seriously, it can be fun sometimes.
but the idea of it or them being called "assignments" DO NOT make it fun at all.
but at least all those work and research make me feel intelligent. for that bit.
haha.

I'm off now. gotta catch some good night sleep before I become a total insomniac!

2009-04-20T01:37:00.002+10:00

ahhhh! my throat hurts!
it hurts to swallow, it even hurts to yawn.

the weather it's too cold.

and I should be in bed.
just can't seem to sleep these days.
insomnia? nothing major.

I'm gonna get warm now.
toodles.

happy easter!

2009-04-14T02:06:00.002+10:00

so how's easter for everyone?
had a good one?
I hope u did. coz mine was pretty good.

went camping on friday, even tho I had the biggest headache / migrane everrrrr and even tho it's only for the night.
I still had fun.
oh plus, sleeping in the tent - cold and it was raining, peeing in bushes and yeh things like that.
and also not to mention, Cam and I got lost on our way to the campsite.
thick fog - can't bearly see, ended up at the top of some mountain.
and WE SAW A DEER! (that's like the most exciting wildlife encounter ever! even more exciting than seeing a kangaroo or a wombat on the road!)
with the biggest MIGRANE still!
then easter egg hunt in the morning. woot!

oh and I went out to PLASTIC.
u know, it actually feels nice to be back there.
maybe it's bcoz I haven't been out in a while. but oh well...

and I still have mid-semester break till next week.
hooray!
so keep me updated on all your doings. :)

2009-04-03T03:08:00.002+11:00

whoops.
I forgot to update again.

well, so far, nothing very interesting has happened.
I've been having quiet and more chillax weekends rather than going out.
good way to save some money.
since I don't have a job.

so I go to house parties. chill with my friends.
go to uni. chill with the boyfriend + friends.
playing my pink ps2.
you know, that stuff.

my apartment, however, need to go thru a major clean up.
which I actually gotta wake up for tmr.
so I'm out for now.

2009-03-13T19:02:00.003+11:00

whoa! bout time I updated ey.

so uni started for me this week.
so far so good.
but I know I have a lot of research and readings to do.
UGH!
lots of work. *sighs*
even tho I'm only taking 2 units this semester.
the life of a uni student ey...

other than that, things around here are pretty peachy and dandy.
hahahaha.

so I'm off now, more update soon.
I'm trying to beat my own high score for geo challenge on facebook.

oh, noticed something?
it's Friday the 13th.
that's all, till next time...

gigs, gigs, gigs!

2009-03-02T02:37:00.008+11:00

my new love.
FTSK.
nuff' said.
they are FOREVER THE SICKEST KIDS! :D

marc & kyle.

so I only managed to take a pic with 2 of them.
I saw Jonathan but I didn't have my camera with me and it was too dark to take photo with my "no-flash" camera phone. SUCKS!
but oh well, at least there's proof.
yeah right, be jealous, if u already aren't! :P

here's the gig lineup too.
tuesday - death cab for cutie
wednesday - hellogoodbye + new found glory (didn't bother seeing the other 2 acts)
thursday - bayside + jack's mannequin + forever the sickest kids + red jumpsuit apparatus (BEST!)
friday - SOUNDWAVE FESTIVAL! (no explanation needed, it was EPIC AWESOME!)

(click on it to see a bigger / clearer picture)

pictures are worth a thousand words.

death cab for cutie.

2009-02-25T01:46:00.003+11:00

I didn't actually go for 'stray cats'.
I posted this bcoz I went to see 'death cab for cutie'. and they're good.
the opening act, 'youth group' was good too.
'the forum' is such a good venue for gigs. and that word I can't seem to find when I tried to put it in a sentence. good 'acoustic(s)'.

first this. I have 3 more days of 'gig-going-to'.
I'm gonna be exhausted by the end of the week.
I can only imagine me indulging in the adrenaline rush of excitement of going to these gigs at the end of the week.
I'll prolly skip partying and stay in on the saturday night to do so.
not to mention, it'll save me some money too.
since I'm prolly gonna spend heaps on band merch and such.

so u'll hear from me very soon bout the next gig.
which will happen tmr night! woots!

surfing.

2009-02-18T23:30:00.002+11:00

I actually haven't blogged in a while.
been so lazy.

so I've been surfing. since monday neways.
I got back today.
I'm all sore. but it's all good.
I had so much fun.
this is my 2nd time surfing and I'd definitely go again. despite the soreness.
I'll upload pictures next time.

2009-02-06T13:06:00.002+11:00

so the weather has cooled down. and everything, well almost everything is back to normal.
I'm getting my dvd player back from the DHL guy on monday.
so YAY!

this summer has been lazy.
real lazy.
I should get up off my ass and go surfing or something.
that'd be fun! I know.
coz I did it once and I have been looking forward to doing it again.
so hopefully this will happen. :)

2009-01-29T22:38:00.001+11:00

fuck! even my foxtel went out coz of the heat!
me not liking this at all!

stupid heat wave!

2009-01-29T20:57:00.004+11:00

the heat wave is absolutely ridiculous!
44 degrees?! FUCK!
I'm melting in this heat.
it's too hot! seriously.
I need cold food. even ice water is not helping! gahhhhh!
mostly, I need AIR CONNNNN!
RAWR!

on days like this, u miss the cold.

2009-01-28T05:00:00.001+11:00

so much for chinese new year ey.
I kinda wish I was back in Singapore having proper chinese meals with my family.
and I know it'll prolly be the best tasting one too!
rawrrrrr!
and my friends can come over to my place for visits!
old tradition. sighs.

but neways, hope everyone else have a great day.
may you all get lots and lots of ang pows!
keep those feet moving and go visiting! :P

2009-01-17T17:36:00.002+11:00

this post is gonna sound random as to ppl who don't know stuff.
neways, here it goes.

Lucas: "the teaspoon's shoulder bone poked the tablespoon's face. ouch!"

Dope: "YOU'RE THE BIGGEST SLUT!"

Jess, Darren, Peter: "EL PACOOOOO! PACO FACE!"

note to self: "Odie OPSM, YOU'RE AWESOME!" :D

2009-01-14T01:58:00.002+11:00

I haven't updated in like a week.
well, mostly I've just been partying and sleeping early and waking up late.
haha. if that make sense.

looking forward to this weekend!
woots!
I know, it's ony the beginning of the week. but still!
woots woots! :D
me excited!
I'm expecting a good weekend.

2009-01-06T03:57:00.002+11:00

so far, the new year is treating me fine.
it already brought new friends.
money is on the way. pretty soon. I hope. hahaha.
my adventures have yet to begin.
summer is still here. :)

happy new year! :)

2009-01-03T21:28:00.008+11:00

so this is the new year.
and I hope it'll be better than the last year.

so my new year's eve and new year's day was pretty awesome!
there was a bit of drama but all settled.

jess, darren, peter, justin, aaron, katrina, wendy, stefan, shane and adam. :D
<3

2008-12-28T06:54:00.002+11:00

back to Singapore today.
oh sunday, don't be boring.
pretty soon I'll be flying off to Melbourne.

I'm quite anticipating to see how new year will be like.
spending it with Jess in Melbourne.
this is gonna be different from the "tradition" I always have, which is Singapore, friends, foam spray + silly strings spray, Orchard Road and of coz my place and the playground.

for one thing, I guess I'm not expecting a new year's kiss.
I'm feeling bit nostalgic thinking bout 2008's new year.
but oh well, we move on, right?

I hope 2009 will be a better year.
this all sound so cliche to wish for something better every year only to think back and realize that it's been the same thing year after year after year.
I feel that 2008 was a disaster for me but also a point where I grew in every aspect.
my year was a mess. damn, I was a mess.
so I really hope 2009 doesn't bring me too much shit as 2008 did.
please. that's my hope, my wish and I dream that it will come true.
because honestly, I don't know how I could live through another year like 2008.
too much pain, really. but I grew.
which makes me look forward to the goodness of 2009.

and I hope for everyone around me to have a good year ahead too.

merry xmas!

2008-12-24T06:04:00.002+11:00

so I'll be out of Jakarta for xmas.
I'm looking forward to some relaxation. :)
I prolly not get the chance to wish everyone personally so here, a very big MERRY XMAS to you all!
and lots of love from... ME!
xoxo

2008-12-22T05:43:00.002+11:00

tired tired tired.
I don't know how I find the energy to last me thru a whole day really.
my body clock is kinda fucked.
I can sleep at 4am and still wake up like 6 hours later without an alarm.
and last friday and saturday, I actually woke up at like 7 and was out of the house before u can even say 7.30 or 8. and I mean am, like in the morning.

this holiday is getting better.
my lil cousins are back from bali and justine and pam are back from LA.
hang out time. YAYS! :D
and I've been shopping heaps too.
just hope that I can fit everything into my luggage when I leave.

and and and, one thing I must add!
I can'e believe the amount of VOLCOM stuff they have here!
it's fuckin amazinggggggg!
I'm happy.
and I looooooveeee VOLCOM!
woots! :D
<3

2008-11-24T03:44:00.002+11:00

Last week, I was in Queensland.
"hello, sunshine!"
but only to know that it was the rainiest time ever.
Laura and I managed to get some sun in Brisbane altho there was a storm too.
kinda reminded me of home.
thunder and lightning, and rain, the smell of soil and blackouts.
I stayed over for anight at Laura's aunt's place. had home-cooked meal. YUMMMM!
and pretty much a very lazy sunday.

it kept raining in gold coast tho.
got rained on all tuesday while I was at dreamworld.
bummer! but I still had fun.
left on the Saturday, came back to Melbourne on Wednesday night.
man, what a trip. :)
photos will be up on facebook.

now I'm back in Melbourne.
"hello! cold weather."
it's good to be back but seriously, we need more sun in Melbourne.
the cold can get so intolerable. I need warmth.

so now I'm bumming around, pretty much. and partying. haha.
till it's time for me to leave for home.
more updates soon.

flight update.

2008-11-09T12:12:00.001+11:00

Odie's flight update

7th December to Singapore from Melbourne.
13 December to Jakarta from Singapore.

still not sure when I'm getting back to Singapore after that.
but I'll keep yous updated.

xoxo

2008-11-09T12:07:00.002+11:00

YAYS!
finally finished with exams.
if I pass all my units, it means, goodbye 2nd year!
and starting 3rd year next year!
*fingers crossed* I'll pass, I'll pass, I'll pass!!!

sometimes, I'm impressed at myself.
for some reason just known to self. maybe a few others but yea.

feelings have gone too much in a roller-coaster.
they'll never be constant.
not till I know for sure anyway.
contradictory: I want it, but I don't. or vice versa, I don't, but I want it.
I can't decide. too much risk of getting hurt again.
so tired and sick of that feeling.
I don't wanna be stuck in a "hurt" limbo.
too much pain, really.
and I thought physical pain is enough. emotional pain, is worse!
no, thankyou.

2008-11-01T18:16:00.002+11:00

"I don't care what you think, as long as it's about me.
The best of us can find happiness in misery."

So an update...
HALLOWEEN PARTY.
and I went dressed up as Snow White.
Jess went as Red Riding Hood.
it was a good night. :)

besides that point, there's more on a certain someone...
I miss you, but I don't know anymore.
I don't know if you're worth my time.
I don't know...
I like you, still.
but it's getting lesser day by day. (I think)
I hope we can be better friends.

2008-10-27T00:31:00.004+11:00

note to self:
losing everything that makes me happy. :(
sucks to be you, odie.

oh, and I quit my job.

20th. :)

2008-10-20T03:10:00.003+11:00

so my birthday was last week on the 9th of October.
and I had a great night at Next! :)
birthday dinner on the Saturday was enjoyable too!
and finally the big party this weekend, the 18th!
it was AWESOME! :D
I'm happy.
truely happy for the friends that I have.
friends that I love. <3
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

initially due to everything I've been thru, I just thought that my birthday this year would suck!
it turns out not so bad, in fact, it turned out great!
better than expected.
and I thank everyone who wish me happy birthday, and thank you to those that partied with me too.
made me happier than ever.
*AHEM! Daniel & Matt for getting me drunk! :P (no more, really!)
Jess for partying with me like all the time! :)
Cheese for dumplings and hangouts and gossips! :)
Cam for still giving me shit even tho u turned up for my dinner and my party in the end. :P
and lots and lots more to thank.
I appreciate it so much.

for those who have facebook, check the pics out.
*photos will be uploaded on myspace soon. :)

peace out for now!
I'll be back with more updates.

2008-10-13T04:10:00.002+11:00

I thought my birthday was gonna suck this year.
it turned out not so bad after all.
and I'm glad. :)
I love my friends.

thursday at next was good.
birthday dinner was good too.
saturday at bang! was def awesome!
and I got drunk! hahaha

but it's fun.

more partying next week!
can't wait.

you make me smile. :D
you know who you are...

*sighs*
and why?
why now?
after all this time. maybe as you said, it's karma getting back at you.
maybe it'll let you know how I've been feeling before.
it hurts, certainly does.
but I don't hate you. and to know that we're friends make me happier.
and I thought that was settling in.
I was caught off guard.

Daniel?

2008-10-09T03:39:00.002+11:00

Dear ______,
"Where are your guts to fly
Soaring through
Through the night
And if you take that last step
I’ll follow you 
Leave the edge
And we’ll fly
We’re finally alive"

xo, Odie
