met ryl at changi airport today! went tcc for coffee and talk!



my iced minty mocha that ryl claimed it tasted like OTAH =X

and this ryl, caught me unaware....straw stuck in nose no 2 (first is ah sian!)
even though it was just a short 2hrs meet up....but it was more than sufficient to make me feel better =) thanks ryl!
zoomed off to tanah merah to meet up with my erjie, trained to pasir ris together where my parents and dajie were waiting. and off we went to east coast! buffet dinner at tung lok! sooooo fullllllllllll....oh mann...marina barrage next! went there for a strolllllll.....and homeeeee!


this funnny little green creature came flying into my living room. does it look like praying mantis? my mummy told me its 'ba long gong' and i burst out laughing...what a name...she told me people in the past believed that spirits will house themselves in this creature....so maybeee.....someone's back to visit? hah...no idea...
i was bathing when i realised my neck seems empty. the necklace is no longer there. the necklace that has been on my neck for the past 2yrs plus is gone. i guess the hardest thing to let go is knowing that u have been so close to this person for near 3 years, only to wake up the next day knowing that he is no longer there for u. how to pretend that nth has happened? that nth has happened for the past 2yrs plus? damn.
i hate the dec incident for happening. it left me so much bad memories. slowly recovering from it only to be hit by another incident. ROARS.
i promise this will be my last emo post. because im trained to fight away all unhappiness after all the bad things that happened.

righttt....after all the lovey dovey talk...time for some random stuff....

do u know that i thought MEE POK and BA CHOR MEE are the same?!!

i only knew the differences like yesterday when i was talking to my dajie. cause i like to eat mee pok with the tomato base. and i ordered ba chor mee thinking they are the same. then i was wondering why my ba chor mee has no tomato base but rather, is those black vinegar sauce. i just ate it anyway, thinking maybe this stall's ba chor mee is different. and the next time, i ordered ba chor mee again. and is the same black vinegar base. and again, i think the stall's ba chor mee is different. maybe they use different sauce. until yesterday when i was eating mee pok at hm...i told my sister and she went 'you know what, i used to think the same way as u do. but then i realised mee pok is mee pok, ba chor mee is ba chor mee, mee pok not equal to ba chor mee' HAHAHA! I THINK IM SO RETARDED! do u all think the same way as i do? or is it just me?
rightttt....im back home!


where did i stop?


ok, have to get back my train of thoughts first.....


ermmmm....


yes...stay firm and trash it out! thats my ans. alot of times, we start to take things for granted. that HE is supposed to do this and SHE is supposed to do that. we are imposing what we deemed as an ideal partner on the other party. in the process, we forgot what was the reason that drew you close to each other. what was the thing that made you like him in the first place. my prof told us in lectures that when he does marriage counselling, the question that he always throw to the couple is 'what was the reason that made you love each other in the first place.' sometimes, we place such an high expectation on our partner that when these expectations arent met, we get angry and when your partner knows that he is not meeting your expectations, he feels lousy. i admit im one of those people who thinks that boyfriend should be like this and like that. why isnt he romantic, why doesnt he gives me surprises. yet i forgot the reason that drew me to him - the way i like him as a practical guy. isnt it such a irony? the reason that made you like him becomes the reason that made you unhappy. i couldnt help but think that im such a silly person. when your differences get too big to handle, stop and ask yourself, what exactly made you fell for him in the first place? are your differences so big and serious, over and above the reasons that binded you two together in the first place? sometimes when you take a step back and look at the bigger picture, you will realise that the differences isnt all too big afterall. learn to accomodate to the needs of each other i would say. over millions of people that you came across, why did you choose only him/her and not others? thats fate i would say. learn to cherish what fate has brought for u.

actually i talked so much, i don't know what im driving at. i just know that there is no problem that cant be solved. there is a reason why it is called a problem. because theres always solution to it =)

i know i will iron out all the differences between bf and i. i realised how open bf and i are, we can talk abt problems we are facing and solve it as if it was a maths qns, step by step. and i know this time round, we will do the sum right too.

love u dear! <3

ahhh...just made a cup of white coffee for myself =) im starting to love drinking coffee (not those black coffee) drinking coffee makes me feel that life is good for THAT moment. it has a calming effect on me. it makes me energetic instantly. and most importantly, it keeps me awake during exam period.

im starting to ponder alot about relationship. what exactly is the 'thing' that keeps a relationship going? as a relationship mature, it is as if it has transcended into another stage. a couple is no longer in a honeymoon period, there is no longer this excitement of wanting to know more about each other because as days pass, things become more or less predictable. a couple may not meet as frequent, may not msg as frequent, even all the sweet talkings would have disappeared. there is no longer this halo effect where your partner seems just so perfect to you. slowly, as u discover, your partner may just have as many flaws as you do. i wouldnt say this is all bad. i believe it is what every couple goes through. i mean, after all the initial passion and excitement, somehow, it has to die down. and what that remains, is up to the couple to learn to manage all the differences between them that determines whether a relationship will last. what if the differences are so great that a couple cant learn to manage? to me, that is just an excuse. i don't believe there is too big a difference that cant be handled. is really a matter of whether u want to put in the effort to do it or not.

conflicts become more frequent as a relationship mature because gone were the days where a couple would tolerate and give in to each other like it was before, so afraid that you would make him/her angry. why is that so? because having known each other for so long, things become so predictable that you know that it is just another episode of his/her 'tantrum'. we voice out our unhappiness, we say out what we think...and it is then that we realise how different we both were. so what now? to run away from the problem? to give up? or stay firm and trash it out?

TO BE CONTINUED......

ahhh...ok..no time for my lovey dovey talk. my mum hurrying me to bathe cox we are going out...

lets mourn for the loss of 20 marks for my i/o psychology exam = 10% of final grades =(

1 min of silence pls.

may u rest in peace and not pull my grades down by too much.

IM SO SERIOUSLY SADDDDDD....TOTALLY =( so disappointed at myself. hai.

was talking to huiqi on our way back and i realise WHY IS IT THAT MY LAST PAPER FOR EVERY SEM IS SCREWED?! RAHH! irritating.

forget it. i shall remain happyy, i cant do anything either...im showing signs of emotional focused coping! positively reframing my thoughts. i realise i like health psychology =) and abnormal psychology too =) they make me happy studying em. UNLIKE I/O psyc ! booo!

oh well. exams are finally done! END OF YEAR 2!! oh man..thats really fast! actually theres alot of time where i wanted to blog, but end up i didnt. so now i shall recall what i wanted to blog back then....

lets see.....


1. an evening run around punggol
i was running around my place when i ran past a group of wild dogs (more than 2 is a group right? hahaha! okay, there was 3 wild dogs to be exact) and i was so worried that they would run/chase after me seeing that i was running!! (i always think a dog would chase after me if they see me running...true right?) and soooo....i rannn realllly sloowwww.....and i ran past them sucessfully without being chased. THENNNNNNNNN.....out of nowhere....i saw a black skinny SNAKE glided past me! right beside my right foot!!!!!! i was so horrified i dashed across the road =/ (not to worry that cars would knock me down, because that road was pretty quiet) omg! i cant believe that was a snake. i rmb seeing one 2 yrs plus ago outside punggol mrt station when i was with bf...and now, i saw one again! IN THE END, I GAVE UP RUNNING. and partly because it was going to rain. i sounded as if i went running in a jungle or smth...HAHA! bump into wild dogs and snakes. but well...punggol isnt that ulu..just that i ran to the more ulu part because HDB is building flats everywhere in punggol!!! (i really wonder who is going to stay there....are we having some population explosion or smth? ) i cant find an area where i can breathe in some clean and fresh air!!!!! oh well..i did...but at the expense of bumping into snakes and wild dogs =/

2. swimming with bf
we took the slides down!!!! so scaryyyy! but fun =) heh. and shortly after we slide down, there was this swarm of bees who invaded the slide area =x luckily we went up already...heh...lunched at mac and i stayed alone to study for my exams...this post is like 2 weeks ago? HAHA!



3. ydance and yarts
first experience =) nice one =)

4. my mum was packing the cupboard and she showed me this!


cuteeeee? this was knitted by my great grandmother for my daddy (don't ask me why my great grandmother knitted a pink one for my dad). and this was passed on to my dajie, erjie, and I! wow! i didnt know my tiny little feets fitted in these knitted shoes =)

5. running with sisters

all ready for a run only to find that it started to drizzle when we got down. so guess what? we did sprints under the void deck and we played catching! ahahahha! can u imagine a 27, 23 and 21 yr old girl played catching together? heh! but we barely ran for 10mins thou. hee..but still....it was fun =) the rain stopped and we went for our run....no more snakes and wild dogs this time. but we saw dead rat =/ ermmmm......

AH YES. i forgot im suppose to book for badminton courts for tml! will update again sooonn!!
