a tad bothered by something i heard about me today but i guess one person's tinted misjudgment of my capabilities are not worthy of my continued brooding

the nasty thoughts and words shall now be banished to the fiery earth's core

It was like any normal Saturday. I daresay it was worse than most of the better Saturdays I've had.

I didn't pick up the calls from my girl pals from overseas. Both whom are closest to my heart.

Others didn't exactly remember. But hey, I blame technology. We are overly reliant on Facebook reminders, which I am equally guilty of.

But it feels particularly empty when the special few didn't remember to do so. Mm.

And the boy. He needs anger mangement.

Lovelovelove my new maquillage lipstick and agnes b cardholder!

I often wondered.

2009-03-04T20:24:00.008+08:00

I reckon every girl I know (except my sister) probably has many sticks of lip gloss in their makeup bag or sitting on their dresser.

Please, tell me, if I am the only person who wonders how one is supposed to reach the gloss stuck in the corners of the stick? Please see exhibit appended herewith :-

Seems like such a waste to throw perfectly good lip gloss away just because its made inaccessible by the design of the gloss stick and the application wand.

The Washington Post

Relearning How To Weather a Storm
Anne Applebaum

This column is arriving late this week. It is arriving late because, among other things, my flight out of London's Heathrow Airport on Monday was canceled. Not delayed, canceled. So were almost all the other flights out of Heathrow. This stunning disruption at one of the world's busiest transport hubs was not caused by a terrorist attack or a catastrophic computer failure. It was caused by five inches of wet, rapidly melting snow.

Even for a native of Washington, the city that our new president recently described as in need of "flinty Chicago toughness " because of its pathetic response to the occasional snowflake, this reaction seemed excessive. So did the reaction of London's transportation network, which shut down most of the city's vast underground system and all 8,000 of its buses, stranding more than 6 million passengers. So did the reactions of London schools (all canceled) and Londoners themselves. Walking down Piccadilly in the evening, I found no evidence that anyone had made use of anything resembling a snow shovel throughout the entire day.

In the past, when this sort of thing happened in Washington, it sent me into a kind of apoplexy, sometimes inspiring me to rant about the cosseted, pampered, litigious culture of modern American bureaucracy, school systems in particular. But the discovery that London's response to a minor snowfall is even more hysterical than Washington's inspired more serious, more philosophical reflections: Events really do look different to people who live in different places, after all.

It is perfectly true, as one indignant Briton noted Monday , that mothers in Omyakon, Siberia, allow their children to play outside unless the temperature drops below minus-40 Celsius (only at minus-52 Celsius, or minus-62 degrees Fahrenheit, is school closed). On the other weather extreme, mothers in Abu Dhabi forbid their children from playing in the extremely rare episodes of rain, lest they catch a chill. People in Bangladesh, where the annual monsoon comes as a welcome relief, surely find that reaction every bit as comical as I found the London cabdriver who refused to drive through a short expanse of wet slush on Monday night.

But it is also true that unexpected weather seems to cause the most chaos in the most temperate climates, precisely because those who live there are the most unprepared, psychologically as well as practically, for any kind of extreme. A few years ago, a heat wave that would have been considered average August weather in Washington caused a national disaster in France. The English cope with the occasional warm spell as badly as they cope with the infrequent blizzard. And, yes, storms that would cause no comment in Chicago can paralyze the residents of Washington, along with the entire federal government.

Trudging around snowy London, it was impossible to escape another thought: Surely what's true of the weather is true of other kinds of unexpected change, too. People who no longer remember slow economic growth, for example, might not be able to cope with negative growth, let alone a severe recession. In London, it hasn't snowed much for 18 years, so no one owns a snow shovel -- and if they do, they don't know how to use it. In the United States, the economy hasn't really collapsed since 1929, so no one knows how to save string and tinfoil -- and if they did, they wouldn't know what to do with them. A whole set of skills, from cooking with leftovers to recycling bottles (not because it's green, but because it's thrifty) has been lost during two generations of prosperity, in much the same way the British have forgotten how to drive their cars through slush. The last time I went to have some shoes resoled in Washington, the cobbler told me he wasn't going to be in business much longer, so low had the demand for his services sunk. Does anyone know how to repair toasters anymore? What about television sets?

As I say, things look different to people in different places: I have no doubt that in those newly successful societies where folk memories of hardship live on -- Indonesia, say, or Ghana -- plenty of people still fiddle with broken toasters and televisions in their spare time. That's why, when recession hits, they'll be better off than those of us who have forgotten how to shovel snow -- or, indeed, have thrown away the snow shovel altogether.

I just had the longest day at work today, but somehow I'm feeling pretty good. Guess it can also be attributed to the whole feeling of competency, that great sensation associated with not screwing up my work royally. Well, keeping my finger crossed, things may go wrong tomorrow; hope I don't have to hang around at work after 6pm on NYE.

Anyways, I'm feeling really silly now. Just want to dance to some silly song and say silly verses and just be silly.

Maybe I'll have a silly new year then.

i miss her undying teasing of myself and theboy, asking us when we will be married and always telling me to go blading with her

i miss our long msn chats (at witchin' hours, she'd say), in particular the way she will spell okaye, musik, unker, unlike anyone else

i miss it when she says "gah!" and when she raises her eyebrows in disbelief when i say something silly and all the (vodka induced) excitement whenever we go clubbing

i miss the way he will just listen. and how he sees me as the selected few that he can "upload" his woes and problems

i miss how he will always call me milady and our calling the cows purple

i miss poppin' over to her desk when i fancy an indepth analysis into the latest 'do on v beckham, or the trendiest nail colour, or the next upandcoming zouk flea

i miss partying with you people, always abandoning the old one, making him smell other clubbers' pits

i miss how she will tell us so many random things, the way he describes how he tortured his school kids, the way he will say cold jokes, how she will pretend she's not sleepy on a night over, how everybody is afraid of the seemingly harmless girl, our endless sharing of many musical insights, how he will tell funny funny jokes about his hungry little brother who cannot fast

i miss much much more that i do not have energy to remember right now

Things havent been all fine and dandy recently.

Work's been busy, exam is around the corner, personal life is stressful, social life's been put on hold.

What is it that i'm looking for? That i search fervently for? Whatever it is, its purpose, what it stood for, all that i am striving to attain for all day, every day, have all melded into a indiscernible blob of grey.

This definately is not an emotional burnout where i sit and brood and sulk and pout.

This definately is a rational, logical, neourological process that irons out the kinks and teases out the ugly, which, really, is even harder to bear when the cold hard truths of matters are staring so brazenly right back at you, freezing you right to the very depths of your innards.

And as always, what can these mere words begin the describe what really is going on underneath the cranium.

Adelyn sorry i know i wanted to meeet you so many times but i have been busy/out of town, will do so when i can sort out my time management.

I'm laying on a queen watching the last game in the Yankee stadium before it gets pulled down.

This week has been nothing short of being uber eventful, what with the AIG and Lehman crises.

I know now why John said he'd much rather be in SG than move somewhere else. I wanna be home real bad.

In the interim, since nothing of that sort is going to happen, I'm gonna go get some work down before heading to bed.

Your lectures. Your storytelling. Your start of empty talks.

Your ambitions. Your insecurities. Your complete lack of common sense.

Your trickery. Your doubleface. Your utterly juvenile mind games.

I'm sorry, but my virgin of a mind was subjected to the vicious treachery that is oh so commonplace in your sphere which has reduced your morality to nonexistence, but i have no wish to let this go on any further.

I refuse your lecturing. I hate your storytelling. I detest your empty talking. I belittle your ambitions. I loathe your insecurities. I am not surprised at your sheer lack of common sense. I wont be tricked no more. I can see through your doubleface, even your tripleface if need be.

And this is the end. of. your. senseless. mind games. Stop luring me in.

Be gone. You are neither required nor wanted. You have singlehandely destroyed my innocence.

The surprise for me is that I can remember exactly what losing my mind was like. It’s tangible to me, it’s a taste in my mouth. And, even more surprisingly, I think I’m able to describe it.

Imagine a tone of voice. The tone is sort of dreary. But it’s also despairing and frustrated. If the tone was matched to a voice, it would be the nasal voice of a boring man, intoning his despair weakly: Oh no, no, God, oh dear, oh, no… But forget about what the voice is saying – it’s the tone that’s important. Dreary, despairing, frustrated, pathetic, and quite loud. So take that loud tone and make it ingredient number one.

Second ingredient, very straightforward: fear. Jittery, panicky. Something that you wouldn’t think would coexist with the dreary tone, but does. Quivering, cold, biting, fear.

The third and final ingredient, also straightforward: random words. Random words, strung together. Strings of words. Simple and unhinged. Without pattern, no looping, no meaningful repetitions. And SHOUTED AT TOP VOLUME.

Mayhaps time will cease burning and she will remember

Perhaps dragons will then be slayed from the longforgotten

For she, the living, will perish at the end of day

With the endless schedules, appointments and commitments, i've stopped blogging.

I cant enjoy the thing i used to enjoy being immersed in. Mayhaps i dont want to enjoy being immersed in it.

Rather than saying that i have neither the time nor the energy for the abovementioned, i'd say that i've chose to use excuses to bury the sublime consciousness of my literary inadequacy.

I cannot explain why this matters, but it does. Why being able to convey my thoughts in fluent words, making sense of my usual incoherent psychobabble through rational prose, means this much to me.

I reckon i have to head back to my books, drown in the meandering plots, and breathe the life of the protagonists. Then finding the pleasure to read again might ignite the passion to string sentences together once more.

Sorry for the absence but i'm in the thick of renewal season and its hard to find time to breathe, much less try to blog.

Any how, i chanced upon a rather interesting question a 10 year old was asking her dad:

"Why don't people feel guilty when they eat the duck's head?"

That immediately made me frown. I've never thought of that question, ever, and she asked that to her dad so earnestly. I think her dad just gave her a general answer that all adults would give to all kids to shut them up.

They say them kids ask the darnest things. But really, why are we adults doing darn things that warrant darn questions? Mmm..

So back to the question, but hmm, i dont eat duck heads. Oh wells, useless blog entry #459471298.

Take your pick!

I'll just let music videos replace my words. Enjoy.

Fergie - Clumsy

- Hmm. I didnt know what i was expecting from the song, but i think this a pretty close proxy of it. Neat idea with the pop-up card effect.

Gwen Stefani - Now That You Got It

- To continue with the whole cutesy theme from before. Another song that i was looking forward to the vid. Not that bad.

Kylie Minogue - 2 Hearts

- Kylie's bacccck. The petite size zero body with that all-too-familiar husky voice.

Soulja Boy - Crank Dat

- I'm sorry, i know this is random. BUT ITS JUST TOO FUNNY. Yoohoo, this is the song i was talking about.

The Academy Is... - Sleeping With Giants (Lifetime)

- TAI seems to be alternating between good and bad videos. This is a potential cause of motion sickness.

I just thought it was rather amusing that theboyfriend dreamt that he tried to stop some guy from taking me away.

I sure hope that the person in the dream was not a fella weighing in at about 200 pounds or so. He wouldnt stand a chance that way. :]

When the routineness of hanging out every saturday seem to diminish as the weeks go by, we're either really odd people or we're just having balls of fun.

Its the latter, i'd say.

Sat mornings, arab scarf, unforseen monies, hawt stingray, unknown bits. I heart many many.

So the first week has been alright. Work has not been all that bad, given that i'm still getting myself oriented to the new environment.

However, i'm just waiting for the renewal work to start. That's when the shit will hit the fan.

For now, i'm just trying to get used to waking at ungodly hours. And seeing the boyfriend more frequently. :] Not that i'm complaining.

Yoohoo, it had been such great fun. With or without the laughing gas. :)

I wanted to post this on a comment on your blog, but i thought it'd be a little too long. So Yihua, here's what i think.

Yes its a lacklustre performance. It seems like she couldnt let go of herself (or her wig, or her belly, or her killer stilettos) enough to throw some sleek moves. But i dont know, it seems like so many has been giving such harsh remarks about her performance that i think she needs a little empathy from me; It really wasnt that bad a perfomance, she did get a lil better at the end.

So maybe that VMA performance was not her best, but maybe we oughta give her a little room. Maybe she'll go back and wallow on how bad this perfomance is, then wake up her idea and return with a smashing comeback-deux to wow our socks off? I just think she deserves more chances.

Somehow, i think she still has the ability to be the pop princess that she once was.

.
.
.
I dont even know why i'm speaking for her, i'm not even her fan. But the song does seem like it will be a club hit.

Maintenance.

2007-09-10T01:09:00.001+08:00

Its really not about the expensive gifts or the fancy dinners.

I can be happy too, without those.

Cheap dates or not, its the company that matters, or so theboy says.

But its true. Because i'm happy. Very much so.

Yaolong says:

Yy says:
yeah

Yy says:
i understand that

Yy says:
because recently i've been having the same thoughts about what you said

Yy says:
i know so much about meself at its totality that i dont see what is good in myself anymore

Yy says:
i know how screwed my thinking is. i know how nasty i can be. i know how i am not such a nice person actually.

Yaolong says:
hahah xactly the same here

Yy says:
and the fact that others see me as something far from that icky self that i see myself in, really never cease to amaze me

Yaolong says:
thats why i think we're all shades of grey in a world of white and black

Yaolong says:
hmm that a person can see you for who you are and still stick with you

Yaolong says:
says alot to anyone

To everyone who chose to stick by me, i thank you.

And because i know there's a special someone who'd do it without a doubt, i feel thankful; thankful that yoo'll always be round this corner of mine.

Are you, are you falling for me?

2007-08-23T17:42:00.000+08:00

We've got all night just to make it all right
Would you take a walk with me?
I'll give you all I've got just spare me your time
And I promise you won't want to leave
Are you, are you falling for me?
This time, we'll find what we both need

There's an old oak tree
We can swing and sway
We'll lock arms and legs (You're so far away)
When I look at you
You're so far away
Oh so far away
Oh if you could you just let go

Would you rest with me just for a while
I'll take you out of harms way
Like these branches that shelter the rain
We could lay here in our own shade
Are you, are you falling for me?
Just watch, the two of us will see

There's an old oak tree
We can swing and sway
We'll lock arms and legs (You're so far away)
When I look at you
You're so far away
Oh so far away

There is so much that I could give to you
Just say you want me to
I know these roots could break the ground
And in the meantime our leaves will turn
But rest assured
We'll get through anything
Are you, are you falling for me
Like I'm, oh I'm falling for you

There's an old oak tree
We can swing and sway
We'll lock arms and legs (You're so far away)
It's just you and me
We could get away
We can get away (You're so far away)
In this lover's play
We are happy here oh in every way
Oh and then we just let go
Just let go
Just let go
Just let go

Mae - Just Let Go

Her quixotic thoughts.

2007-08-21T01:06:00.000+08:00

in music she seeks her peace
between notes, her quietude lies
diaphanous but consistent
the airwaves bring her peace

in words she seeks her mind
within monologues, her sanity lies
ancient but timeless
the prose captivates her mind

in films she seeks her profundity
between dialogues, her decorum lies
temporal but unrivaled
the picture embelishes her profundity

..

in him she seeks her soul
within quiescence, her euphoria lies
ensnared but beautiful
the boy illuminates her soul

And for that, yeu'll have to deal with the repercussions of their actions.

i’m awake
in the loosest sense of the word
i’m awake
with just a hint of dust coating my lungs

what is this place?
how could we get so lost?
inch by inch, the cell reveals

and here we lie:
arms bent inward, legs a ‘v’
halos high
phosphor light marks the ground

we’ll use the stars to guide
and tonight, polaris by our side
our course will be assured
the longer it takes to leave, the harder it'll be

a way out means there’s one in
and, right now, i see neither of the two

but today we found its knees
its horizon spanning breadth
its near infinite reach
the compass needle spins

we’ll use the stars to guide
and tonight, polaris by our side
our course will be assured
the longer it takes to leave, the harder it'll be

i am, i am
i am, because you needed me to breathe - like bellows to a flame
and that’s comforting to know
but the longer it takes to leave, the harder it’ll be

Sister-yeu has this nasty rash all over her body now. It kinda seems a little scary, much like a skin allergy.

Anyhoo, my sister's really weird. So this was the conversation:

UI: I have rashes again!! All over my body!! HOW?
YY: Huh? Again? What did you do?
UI: But but but i didnt do anything. I didnt even eat anything funny. All i did was go to NUS for the resgistration thing.
YY: Hmmm.
UI: Unless.. i'm allergic to school.

Umm. We kinda traced her food intake for the past days, and we've shortlisted one of the potential culprits to be the Indian Pale Ale she had at Brewerks.

Well, at least it wasnt because she was allergic to going back to school. =/

The songs really made my day, thank youuu.

Kelly Rowland Ft. Eve - Like This (Live)

I didnt particularly like the official video for Like This, because Rowland has amazing vocals which were absolutely not flaunted in her video. But watching her perform it live on Jimmy Kimmel finally did some justice to her awesome singing.

As Tall As Lions - Love, Love, Love (Love, Love), Ghost of York (Live)

Something off ATAL's myspace. My sentiments exactly!!! Haha.

I need a break. What irony, given i'm supposedly having a longass break before i find a job.

Anyhow, the body's protesting. Hence the nasty throat and indigestion problems i've had for the past days.

Life has been pretty much monotonous. Sleep, read, eat, repeat. Sporadically, nights were littered with fun and laughter with yoohoo, friends and sister-yeu.

But there's MXPX toooooo. DAMN.

2007-07-10T20:31:00.000+08:00

For the lack of updates, i apologize. Computer's being gay and is currently getting itself fixed. What a pain.

So, in this weeklong absence, i got myself into a convocation ceremony. Thanks for everything, everybody; those who made a cameo in my photos, and the graduation flowers/gifts too.

I'm sorry, but that is the only decent solo photo i took.

Graduating with Jean makes all the difference, in my opinion.

..

In this week of relentless activities, my only quiet respite from all these ensuing phantasmagoria was within the books.

(1) The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
(2) Love Life by Ray Kluun
(3) Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee
(4) Thousand Cranes by Yasunari Kawabata

If you have time for one book and one book only, forget Harry Potter and all the wizardry, skip The Alchemist and even The Da Vinci Code.

Opt for Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner instead. It really is a lovely book.

I think i'll catch all Tarantino films with Yihua next time, so i'll know when to laugh on cue! :)

Its pretty awesome, go catch it guys! Left me on the edge of my seat the whole time.
