So, after SIX whole years at this happy place of mine that I created for myself, it's time to pack up my bags and move elsewhere!
DRAMA.

But anyway, yes! I decided that it's time for a change. I'm itchy-backside and playing with blogs/getting wedding inspirations is where I let my creative juices run anyway. But I'll keep this beloved place because it houses SO many happy and sad memories of mine over the past 6 years. :')

So, hello all my friends, acquaintances and stalkers (hahaha) - you can move with me if you want to too! :D

P.S. I figured how the "Friends-Locked" option works on Wordpress! I'll post my password in a locked entry so that all of you on my Friends' page can access themmmmm :)


xoxo,
TYL ♥

"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."

Last night was one of the most unplanned nights ever - AND I LOVED IT! I loved how it started off with something planned, and because we enjoyed/missed each other's company and pure nonsense so much, it extended to more and more plans.. and knowing us, we ended up at Zouk. Why am I not surprised? Tsk! It took them a little more than usual persuasion to get me to go to Zouk (since you know I have my damned resolution and all), but the heart AND flesh are weak. (At least tonight I engaged in NO vices! ^^)

 
 
Evening martinis @ Bar at Morton's :)

 
 
it was so unplanned that I was in slippers/sandals, laptop and files and all - BUT WE MADE IT IN :)

 
We concluded that Phuture is no longer for us anymore (we're too old the people there are too prepubescent!) and Zouk played the same trance track for 2 hours.. so like responsible, bored young adults/students, we rocked on home at 2am sharp :)


School should be filled with more random, spontaneous to the ass dates like these!
Can't wait for our CNY gathering already! :D

 One Saturday that just past, my best friend of 8 years had her dream 21st on a yacht! It was the most intimate and lovely 21st I've ever been to (not that the rest weren't lovely - they just weren't that intimate :) ), and because there were so few of us, it was an awesome opportunity to catch up with people that I haven't caught up with in a long time. Dear friends like K, R (I always feel like he's my brother-in-law/Hainan brother because he has been with Cand for as long as I can remember), and others! 

Although a yacht party for my 21st was what I toyed with last time, I know I'm just not the type to have a dainty and cosy party like this. I need a boisterous party that has the potential of pissing others off HAHA. But of course, the downside of that is that I'll not have the chance to get to talk to everyone like Cand did at hers! But okay, mine's in OCTOBER (very very far away), although I've already got my guest list out HAHAHAHA.

So anyway, I'm quite lazy to write more and I've really got to pull my arse away from the seat to get ready for school. So, HAPPY 21st, MY DEAREST BESTIE OF ALL TIME!!! I really love how we don't have to speak to each other everyday to stay and remain as tight as we are; how we can pass glances at each other in any particular situation and we'll both just get it; how we go to each other for real and the most sincere advice (and most of the time, we find each other using that advice diligently); how we embrace each other's (at times, blatant) mistakes and faux-pas because we love each other like that; how we've both grown individually and independently of each other but are still so much a part of each other's lives; how through boundless laughters and tears, we are still gonna see each other at our respective weddings. ♥ YOU FOREVER!!!

Once in your lifetime (rarely more than once - unless you're fucking unlucky or fucking dumb), you'll meet a complete CB (even 'bastard' doesn't quite cut it) who'll have the privilege of fucking you upside down and inside out.

And in my most humble opinion, it's best you meet him/her earlier in your life! At least you know you'll have a better life ahead of you.

You know, just saying.
Peace. ^^

Once in a while, a good ol' Mandarin song speaks for my heart like no other song can. It's like, the song of the moment. Perfectly apt for a cold windy night like this after bidding farewell to a good friend for the next 6 months.

x

如果不是那镜子
不像你不藏秘密
我还不肯相信
没有你我的笑更美丽

那天听你在电话里略带抱歉的关心
我嘟的一声切的比你说分手彻底
泪湿的衣洗干净阳光里晒干回忆
折好了伤心明天起只和快乐出去
这爱的城市虽然拥挤
如果真的遇见你
你不必讶异我的笑她无法代


离开你我才发现自己
那爱笑的眼睛

流过泪
像躲不过的暴风雨
淋湿的昨天删去(忘记)
离开你我才找回自己
那爱笑的眼睛
再见爱情
我一定让自己让自己坚定

再见到你
我一定让自己假装很坚定


x


They say memories are a good place to visit, but not to stay. I think for tonight, I'll agree with that.

From Kaiqi :)


Goodbye
Should be sayin' that to you by now, shouldn't I?
Layin' down the law that I live by,
Though maybe next time

I've got a thick tongue,
Brimming with the words that go unsung
Simmer then the burn for a someone,
A wrong one

And I tell myself to let the story end,
My heart will rest in someone else's hand

My 'why not me?' philosophy began,
And I say

Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay
I'll be alright, just not tonight,
Someday

Maybe is a vicious little word that can slay me
Keep me when I'm hurting and make me,
Hang from your hands

Well, no more,
I won't beg to buy a shot at your back door
If I make it at the thought of you, what for?
It's not me anymore

And I'm not the girl that I intend to be,
I dare you darling, just you wait and see
But this time not for you but just for me
,
And I say
Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday, oh I wish you'd maybe stay
I'll be alright, just not tonight,

Someday, say it's coming soon
Someday, without you
All I can do
Is to get me pass the ghost of you
Wave goodbye to me
Won't say I'm sorry
I'll be alright
Once I find the other side of someday

So the BFGBFF bought a new toy (read: Nikon D3100) for Exchange, and since we had some post-Rag errands to run, it was a perfect excuse to go out and spend some buddy time together before he leaves for the next 6 months. BOO! :( Btw, I hate it when I'm always the one saying byebye to people. This time last year it was like that, this time this year it's gonna be WORSE (cos more friends are leaving UGH :( ).

Okay so anyway, I became the teat (inside joke HAHA) subject for him, and it was just fun hanging out with my best friend :) 
 

 
 
Fooling around at AMK Hub one random afternoon - WHERE WE FOUND GONGCHA IN AMK! <3

 
At Cat Socrates one quiet, cold Monday afternoon after school

 


 
 

Alan's surprise farewell party + K session with the gang one random night. Our LAST K session before they leave :( 
SHIT LA I'll really miss them and our nonsense + bitching sessions please. Ugh school's gonna suck big-time >:(

 
And another few from Clement's lunch treat one day after school! LOVE happy days in school YAY :D


John's 21st = Mass RJ gathering 
And of course some of his VS and Army friends too! It was nice seeing GBW friends again, some of the boys who have ORD-ed and of course, my dearest 7B again. John, you're a erm, valued member of F07B! :D Thanks for having us - see you soon, and at my 21st!!! :D 


Jinhui's 22nd @ Brewerkz: that complete retard kept repeating the same few lines that night, stupid drunktard who insisted he wasn't drunk. I was almost made to give him a birthday kiss WHY DO I ALWAYS END UP GIVING PEOPLE/RECEIVING BIRTHDAY KISSES. Argh! But okay, although I arrived MEGA late and only spent like what, 30 mins there, it was still fun! The 24th are so.. YOUNG. Although the guys are older than me, I just feel old talking about school and Bizad Club and LIFE to them. Zzz x.x

And then after that, R dropped me off at Simpang for supper with Alan, Uncle, Zilun, Indian and Puihoe (HAHAHA omg lovely name). Completely random and spontaneous because as usual, I didn't feel like going home even though I had 9am class the next day zz. Totally need to stop behaving like school hasn't already started, although it was quite amazing none of us ended up at Zouk that night. (Y) This is really gonna be a disciplined sem for me ^^


Side note: Why am I in black in all of these shots?! My wardrobe is so black and blue, with some yellow, flowers and polka dots here and there. SO BORING zZzzZ.
Okay back to work!
