heaps of projects to be completed!
and the end of the week is coming
i have got no idea what i have been doing.

did something silly today.
called desiree and we started conversing.
no, i mean shouting and giggling over the
phone like some old senile women.

outta!

I wonder at eighteen what is expected of us.Yes,mature.Think like an adult.Fast-paced.Be considerate.Think for yourself (what's the trade off?) .

Yet eighteen can be dangerous.Ambitious.Intrepid.Do more than you can,maybe.The desire gnawing at you,to outgrow spawned by e-i-g-h-t-e-e-n.Poring over far-fetched issues albeit that you are still yards away.Future maybe.Thus,losing your foothold.

Does eighteen means you shed the boisterous teen image and erect a composed,understanding,intelluctual image like some young Victorian woman.So ya ya.

And does eighteen and the consecutive years means living up to expectations.Your own and others.Hoarding the inner you?Challenging you to keep up and salvage what you may be at risk of losing?

To change,yes.Yet the conflicting thing is,if you want to sustain the 'impression' of your lovely dearest, so how do you change?

One day an answer will be unravelled.

Dinner was great last night,such a spread.Joined by Kym's cousin and her kids.Thanks for the dinner,Kym.Even though Bjorn was all chattery and inquisitive through out I didn't mind at all.It had been quite a long time since I have seen him.

Well, he has grown lankier and he is wearing his glasses now.But still as handsome as before la.Lols.Still remembered vividly that he asked me in a very polite yet determined manner,"Natalie,you know how to play gameboy?I teach you to use the gears?Can you ask my mummy?"Ahh...

Elva has grown taller and slimmer I reckon.Still as considerate, helpful and polite as ever.A good host.And Kym ah,I got to witness Bjorn rooted to the floor when that particular TV commercial played.

Amina dearest, still the same,always the "contained yet endearing" daughter,sister and friend.Still pretty stoical at times.Not so endearing towards children("Never mind,you don't love me...").Getting hyped up when a gory scene of Alien and Predator appears.Lols.

Wish you good luck with er hem(he shall not be named).
Let's meet up before you fly back (:

happy birthday penny aunty! (: haha,thanks for your invitation it was real
fun today man.good food,good company.no doubt about that!anyway i will
pester you relentlessly for the million dollars unless you let me win
monopoly?

went for a picnic with pen at pasir ris park.though it was sultry,the company
and fun made up.soccer. frisbee.cycling. lorry-rides.hoho!ciao.

after immersing myself in express boy i dare say that i'm suffering
from withdrawal syndrome! heaps of projects and where am i
going to start?

ten more days and my 'royal sister' is back!

there's no more tagboard.find that my blog look somewhat clean
without a tag lols. but you guys can always treat the comments column as
the new tag.

just click on the empty barn or lost lamb (:

people need affirmation and that's when faith comes in.
it gives people something to believe in and move on.
it comforts the soul and heal the wound.

and recently,there's been a lot of what-ifs questions churning.

i am being coerced to blog in a different situation .

the main reason . . .
mr gsc is so so so out of point . he keeps singling people out to do things
for him.just now, da jie really tio chua cos he cocked his head right
beside her . she said she saw all his pores (to add on , blackheads ,
whites heads , dead skin cells blah blah blah)

getting edgy now. bah :/
save me !

p.s : see da jie i spaced every punctuation mark .

when dispirited, in lieu of thinking the customary negative thoughts
that sends a surge of desiccation right up your gut, run the reel of
blissful moments that can make you smile to yourself and sustain
the slightest light possesed.i guess that will suffice (:

::wide grin plastered over face::

pals too.great to see that all are doing well.and,there was my favorite boy,
rui rui(ziling's cousin).he's super cute.like a small adult.well-versed in
answering back at people.gonna be a smart boy next time (:

celebrated ziling's birthday today at cartel.haha,it was pretty good
considering that all four of us haven gathered together for so long.but the
food wasnt fantastic.will not visit there again unless its for dessert!

here are some shots:



love this photo of wanni,so deep in thought.great candid.



fanny and i,purported to look at the other angle.



nice light.nice environment.nice ladies (:


- relish the good stuff

huang jing, i miss you and haven forgotten about you.i miss you,amina! (:
now i spot another similarity between you and your lover ian wright.
haha,daredevil wright came down to singapore for the world summit
gourmet.one of the question was:

"but don't you eat anything proper to keep yourself healthy?"

ans: i eat so much rubbish all my life that my gut is quite hardened and i don't
get ill that much at all.stuff like fruit is boring.

LOLS.

back from aloha changi!really enjoyable man.all thanks to the company of jean,kaishi,irene,mummter,bala,michelle,chin fong,ming xiang,darren,jiabi,
fraser etc.the chalet was way up the hill and segregated.apparently,it seems
like we were the only inhibitants up the hill with 3 cats.lols.

day one:

we had BBQ and as usual there were leftovers of chicken wings!talked a lot,
especially with jean.haha,always feel contented and satisfied after
conversations with her,not solely because of gossips eh.but mummter and i
feel loaded anyway (:

headed to the car park opposite the old meridien and saw a few trans.ming
xiang,the usual joker, was supposedly to be one of them,but to no avail cos
the trans were voluptous,cant compete la.had supper then headed back to
the chalet.mahjong session and napping for some.

mummter and i kena forfeit.lost to jia bi and ming xiang in bluff! (a tag team
game,apparently) and the good old jiabi suggested that we lay each other's
leg on our shoulder and caress it,stroke it and say 'sayang sayang'.lols.

day two:

went for brunch with michelle,chin fong and jiabi.had roti prata then da bao
back for those sleeping.plans for the day:settled on going to pulau ubin to
cycle then beach volleyball.gotta take a two seater cos i cant ride a bicycle.
luckily got jiabi to tong pang or i'll be playing with the stray dogs.lols.it's FUN
FUN and MORE FUN.

heavy downpour when we arrived at the beach.all of us were downright
drenched,despite the shelter.wells,with the presence of irene,darren and
ming xiang time was fully utilised with impromptu games and quizzes.up
till now i cant figure the 'black magic'.

waited for about an hour when rain became drizzle.then cycled our way back
to the kiosk.went to the hawker centre to have some hot drinks and da bao
dinner back.jiabi and ming xiang bandanna-ed their heads and acted like
kopi uncle.damn funny man!

while we were en route to the chalet,one passer by quipped,"wa lao,what
happened to them (us)".why?cos most of us were stained with muddy water
marks.shall post a photo of max's shirt if i have it.

we went to tampines kbox to meet mummter and bala at ten odds.sang till
one when we were supposed to sing till 3.cheats!nevertheless,the session
was pretty fine,considering that most of us were pretty worn out.bala and
fraser singing were good!

then,mahjong session again!seems so different from the computer game.
but learnt a bit of the basics from ming xiang.then went to la la land with
michelle and si jie.but was interrupted.

in the midst of our sleeps,a clown or two attempted to scare us with the
sudden presence of stacks of pillows and blankets stacked neatly on top of
us.have you forgotten that we have two of this five senses called the sense
of touch and hear?

lols.anyway got up and played cards with them.one was a 'bluff' game the
other was some number game.forfiet:3 scoops of watermelon.haha!i liked
that card session!last but not least...

I LOVE THE FUN ! (:

went to dawn's church on saturday with the company of max. it was a pretty nice,cosy environment.the people there are nice and the music was brilliant.the fervor and enthusiasm of the throng of youths were infectious (but somehow i felt out of place a little,ha.)

max was expressionless throughout the whole service.as usual la. anyway dawn thanks for inviting me.it was a wonderful experience (:

back not long from a friend's birthday celebration.one word.enjoyable. we looked at photos and reminisced about our secondary school life. man i miss it.official opening,crushes,friends,beijiing trip everything! to my utmost shock,i didnt know i had a primary two class photo at my friend's place.OMG!
