As we close in for the weekend, I'd like to share some stuff that resonates well with me - What I believe is that, by proper effort, we make the future almost anything we want to make it. - Charles F. Ketterling Destiny is not a matter of chance; it's a matter of choice. - William Jennings Bryan To accomplish great things, we must not only act but also dream, not only plan …
Bryan's going to kill me but here's a photo of him in his younger days. Seated bottom right side next to Best Friend, James. Funny thing is, I knew James when I was about 5 or 6 years old through the Hongkie-tong clan. I found my friend when I was 18 in Junior College. Then through him, I found Bryan, my obsession in when I was 18, or 19. Then through Facebook, Bryan found me …
I didn't grow up listening to the Rolling Stones but I've always thought young Mick Jagger is quite hot. He's got the swagger and attitude face. Anyways, it was Rolling Stones Night on American Idol last night. Tim Urban sang Under My Thumb and it sounded a little painful. Maybe like 5 fingernails crawling over the blackboard. It's not just the voice, but the overall delivery …
The alluring darkness versus... ...the seductiveness of light. So this is my side profile :) I don't have much opportunity to see it everyday. The front's being dreamy, the back's just being morbid. My night is made perfect with a very fun, outdoor shoot with my talented buddy, Alex. It's funny how just two year's back, when we were fresh out from university, we hung …
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens, brown paper packages tied up with strings, these are a few of my favorite things... Ah, no point sitting around the sulk when you've a bad day. I was imagining what I'd like to cheer myself right here and right now. 1) A warm cosy house filled with scents of cookies, and not to …
I think we're made for each other. We've reached our 19 months. Last night, I was hoping to hear sweet nothings. So I was coyly asked Bryan why he's dating me. He replied, "I want to do the world a favour. It's like community service, like picking rubbish from the beach." I can't help but laugh. No, I don't find it offensive. Yes, I do find it funny. I think our humor is very …
Do you recognize these ladies? I've always thought they're rather hot. Like if I'm a dude, I'd have crushes on 'em. Standing at the top is Zooey Deschanel from 500 Days Of Summer. Taylor Swift's at the bottom and I think she looks so cute here. I want her dress and her bangles. {from The English Muse}
After seeing my friends from my 13-year-old days, I was feeling rather nolstalgic. Hence, I thumb through my diaries of my past. But I regret doing that 'cos I wish I could dig a hole, crawl into it and just bury myself there. Wensi wrote this in my notebook, "You'd regret spending money buying all that useless Backstreet Boys crap." Then, someone wrote me a note in class, …
I weighed myself. I hit 50kg. I was hovering at 48kg and I have no idea when I hit the five-oh. It's not such a big deal...it's just that a lot of clothes in my wardrobe are getting tight and I probably can't squeeze into my new dresses by CNY. The nights of snacking on M&S choc cookies, blue cheese on crackers and choc ice-cream are surfacing. No, not bothered. I bought …
There's a lot of hard work behind the simple question of "Will You Marry Me?" Firstly, the lady has to be surprised for that romantic touch. Secondly, you hope to share that special moment with close friends and it's quite a bit of work coordinating a big group of people and that "surprise element". Daniel has been planning his proposal to Emily for past weeks. The Plan - We …
I've never seen any 1-day old fella before. Today, I visited Steph at the hospital and I kept staring at the little life-form with my jaws opened. I've never seen my ex-boss (from hell) looking so zen, gentle and motherly. I wanted to get a book called F My Life for Steph (figured she'd have to sit around for a month so why not read?) but deemed it inappropriate so I chose …
It's my perfect Sunday. Got up late, had a coffee and was enjoying my book. Then I enjoyed a late lunch with my mom and now we're hanging out at the library. We'll probably spent a couple of hours here browing a bit, then maybe go for steamboat dinner. Next week, Bryan and I would be taking a trip to somewhere. It's my surprise holiday planned for him (he's turning older) so …
I've picked up running in the evenings again. It's my baby steps towards running longer distances. The 21 km run is just a couple months away. I haven't been working out as much as I'd like to so I'm getting bit nervous about completing the whole thing. Then, there's been Lindy's wedding. Her dresses were so beautiful and she looks so happy throughout the night. …
