Incredible TOYS

This is definitely one of the best movies I've watched this year. The owner of the toys - Andy has done something which I thought was really really brave because it is something that I would never do in my life, at least I suppose not until I've seen what Andy already saw in life. I hold the things that belong to me dearly. Family, friends, toys, books. Which might possibly explain why I have quite a bit of "junk" at home cos I find it hard to just dump/give away my childhood toys and lil notebooks just like that. Maybe I'm a lil more emotionally attached to things. It's something I'm still learning to grow out of. To genuinely embrace the big and small changes in life as a natural part of growth, and to come to terms with the already-known fact that things HAVE to go some day and they eventually will. (:

Applause for Andy, and CHEERS to the producer of Toy Story 3 (: I like movies that leave an impact on their viewers. To name one that left a deep impression and is still one of my favourites, it would be The Bucket List (:

mission accomplished?

a lazy thursday afternoon turned into a night of fun when lesi's sms came (: we went gym tgt, then skated from tampines swimming complex to simei east point to meet nori n xinyan for dinner and gossip session at starbucks. skating was STILL ALRITE... until nori's appearance. i lost balance while trying to hide from her, cos lesi didnt tell her i was coming. LOL. okok i know i'm lousy la-.- haha n stupid nori couldnt stop laughing. thanks. n thanks lesi for guiding me along the way! haha..

okay here's evidence of what i was supposed to do on my birthday.
so sorry girls.. esp xinyan n nori, i know u girls really put in a lot of effort n i REALLY do appreciate it okay? so here it is, as promised, alritess?! :D


above pic is proof that:
- i ate one YELLOW macaroon, one RED strawberry and one GREEN macaroon (:
- i wore a STRIPED knitted turtleneck
- and i ENJOYED myself truly (:
....ON MY BIRTHDAY!


i star-gazed!! ^_^


i blew the balloons enclosed in the parcel. but the last one burst=(( it was the prettiest cos i'd figured out the way to stretch the deflated balloon before blowing, so that the heartshape would turn out nicer.. BUT it had to burst!! T_T SIGHHH...

so, i've accomplished my birthday mission at last n i hope the girls would say YES! :D

喜.怒.哀.乐.

Back from China. many events and happenings took place during my 6months of stay in China. words are just not enough to describe them. seriously. i've had REAL happy times as well as REAL sad moments there. and i mean R-E-A-L. now that OIAP has come to an end, it's time to move on.


My last week in Shanghai:
cowboys and cowgirls!


Qiuting,Dorcas,Ben,Vincent and Me @ Nanjing Dong Lu


Shanghai World Financial Centre
(the blue one. the view up there on the 94th flr was breath-taking. we saw SNOW from above!! :D)


Century Park





Our last homecooked dinner



and mahjong session till 5.30am
(winnings were in RMB.. haha..)


Gary, Me and Dorcas on the plane back to SG (:


It's Dorcas's 20th birthday today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRL! :D hope u enjoyed ur night with us, getting ur face smashed by chocolate cake. haha. thanks to those who turned up - Ben, Vincent, Gary, KC, Weijie, Shibin and Darren (: too bad Sheryl couldnt make it in time:(

savouring the happy sweet moments

2more days in suzhou. and another 13 in shanghai before i head back HOME. instead of getting too emo about leaving, i've chosen to have loads of fun and enjoy myself to the fullest! :D

they're right. we all know life won't be the same again when we return to sg, with each and every one of us leading our own lives and having our own programmes lined up, but that cannot be helped.. what matters most is that we know we WILL meet up as often as we can (: as i've already said, jurong will no longer be f-a-r to me, just like how shanghai isn't f-a-r from suzhou, and i am all ready to head down to jurong point for any meet-ups, birthday celebs whatsoever. but at the same time, tampines shouldn'ttt be THAT far for u guys too huh! since weijie is so in love with katong, so near tampines alr!

so for those who are leaving china soon, let's all have LOADS OF FUN JOY AND LAUGHTER before we head back, and have MORE MORE MORE when we're back :D
pulau redang trip on bo??

for those who've got a lil longer way to go, push on! we'll be waiting for u in sg (:

i'll miss my suzhou home
i'll miss the friends' visits to suzhou
i'll miss the occassional/frequent weekend hangouts at shanghai
i'll miss our holiday trips to xi'an and beijing

i'll miss 烧烤
i'll miss the ktv sessions
i'll miss chalet-ing at qiuting,ben,vin's house
i'll miss the gossip sessions
i'll miss cabbing around cheap cheap
.
