I am SO FUCKING depressed cos my phone's spoilt.
so its old, have been recklessly swung here and there by its irresponsible owner. plummeted downwards from some 42 inches above the ground and smack on to the hard floor bursting its internal organs; memory card, battery and back cover flying all over.

BUT guess when did my trusty phone decide to fail on me.
when I JUST got it wrapped.

oh my lord.
now the screen goes blank occasionally. and it happens when i slide my phone down. that basically and wholly means the phone is officially, un-functionable.
i let go of close to 40 bucks embellishing my beloved phone and now it dies on me?
YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME !!

*frantics*
- desperately remove battery and check insides of phone (as though i even understand the complicated, advanced techonolgical phone's system language!?)
- send the phone for repair, but i can't find my warranty card. OH luck is really on my side ain't it.
- sue gmask! SUE!!! SUE that 2 girls who worked on my phone !


Gah.
I'm really, really depressed.
i don't have a spare phone, nor do i have money. to buy a new phone.
even so, my phone's filled with memories and countless, countless texts sent by the boyfriend.

:'(


its really strange how a gadget that I didn't use to own durin the first 14 years of life is able to affect me so impactfully when I lose it today.




On a lighterrrrr note, I sold my camera to veron who got it wrapped as well. and the cam now looks splendid.
I can barely recognise my own cam now. I'm gonna miss it.




i like this picture alot.

sheesh i'm too darn depressed to even type a smiley.

Photos taken over the last few days :

(p.s. these weren't taken with my digicam =D)

michelle and i at our 5 Star Hotel room in KL!
On the last day of our Malaysia trip we went for some makeover cover shoot.
which made me look HORRID. I looked like a tranny. I had faux eyelashes on, super duper thick concealers and foundation, and the eyeshadow was so dark.
the makeover was sorta meant for my mum and I to find out what make up might best suit us, so that we can apply that for my sister's wedding. Well apparently now I know what kind of make up to avoid instead.

me getting my turn done.

the final outcome.
i know, i look malaysian.
So FUGLEE!

after removing all the hair pins

more photos.
I swear its so difficult posing. I had to keep tilting my head back and forth for different angles. And also the placement of my arm, the photographer grew tired prompting me for each and EVERY photo. haha
It cost a total of 100RM, which is equivalent to $40 to $50 sing dollars. wellllllll, its somewhat cheap considering they style up the hair and photoshop the photo as well. Such a price is impossible to get in sg.

BUTTTT.
the whatever furry pink jacket they made us put on, is SO TYPICAL malaysian. hur hur.


mum's makeover. she looked gorgeous. and michelle's

I'm back from my Malaysia trip. not entirely fruitful, but at least I get to meet up with cousin michelle and have long hearty chats once again.

I've been asked, am I in love.
How do you define love. how do you tell, when you've met the one whom you can safely label: The One for Me. When does it strike you that this is the guy who can live with forever and want to make babies with. Or whether the relationship you're goin through now is merely a stepping stone; an appetizer before finding the main course, or a learning process for experience, or some play-time fun?

I used to be a cynic. I didn't believe in Love playing the huge role in life.
Back in high school I'd furrow up my brows as I see yet another puppy-lovey, young couple paired up then within some few weeks they 'break up', going separate ways. The strangest part is when they start to date each other's friend's ex boy/girlfriends. I shan't get started on that. Sure enough, I had my first relationship only after secondary school.

Is there a spark of intelligence that smacks you in the face telling you that the guy before you is Mr. Right? Or would it be a gradual realisation thing.

Getting to meet a couple of other guys on the way gave me the chance to discover what I look for in a man. There were those who weren't short of a form of transport. Or some who spent feverishly on me, those who slobbered at my feet and practically treated me as a femelle Lord, undoubtedly obsessed and buying everything I asked for. But of course there are those guys who look at girls as clothes; a tool, to be used and played with and soon those girls are thrown away and out of their lives. With a snap of fingers the guy has a fresh new girl lying in their arms swooning over the perfect songs they're crooning to their newly targetted prey.

I've come to apprehend that a relationship does indeed take both partners to put in the effort to make things work. As the saying goes, it takes 2 hands to clap. I am so much looking forward, to perfecting my relationship that I'm in now. I know there's probably a set of rules or even if there is a book that's named How to Maintain and Perfect your Relationship, I really don't follow that set of rules. For my relationship, we mould each other, rough things out and today, we know what one another prefer and we just prolly need a slight teeny bit more of effort to twick ourselves into that person for our better halves. I have to admit that I lept into my current relationship. I barely knew him, nor his likes and dislikes.

But today, after five sweet months together, we're holding each other's hands and walking towards a better tomorrow. He's changed for me, and I have too. Of course there's more room for improvements. For me, I believe in crafting our better halves; making changes and at the same time, making sacrifices for one another now that we're in a relationship. Some others not believe in changing and instead, there are 2 alternatives for that. 1: you find the perfect somebody the instant you meet him or 2: you accept him/her for everything that he/she is.
which is, rather impossible for me, in my opinion.

Its not just leaping into a relationship for the fun of it, nor going for someone merely cos he is humourous/drop dead hot looking and perhaps good in bed and have a huge manhood or anything along that line. It's about seeking the right suitable one, and whether he's able to make you feel secure anywhere, anytime and whether you could rely on him for the rest of your life. Is he a fatherly figure?

OH gawd I've lost my chain of thought. I'll end here. Reading the previous paragraph makes me think about what a good father Kavan might make... He surprises me! Its unbelievable how unpredictable he can get. He still leaves me dangling in awe at times. his superb sense of humour would make our daughters laugh daily but at the same time when he unleashes his fierce and serious side he'd still gain all the respect which he deserves...
not forgetting the nice sharp noses our kids would have.

:))))))
i'm smiling to myself. *smacks forehead

Today marks the five months I've been together with Kavan.

=)))))))))))))))))))))))

i'm smiling.
yay.
oh he just called to tell me he's reached his work destination.


Yeah so we started out rough and now a couple of our friends look at us and scoff, probably laughing at how ridiculous we both could possibly get.

But things are working out almost perfectly now I can't ask for more. In fact, I am so pleased with Kavan and the changes we both made for each other; our relationship.
Really, he's always on my mind.

Looking forward to our future days together, honey!

=)

doggy's waiting outside the sliding door near my room!
waiting for me to let him into my room
aww as i was coming out of the toilet i see him lying on the floor.
being the only one home now, alfie's getting closer to me and well, more reliant on me for his form of entertainment. i.e. tossing his toy around so he'll dash toward it.
or planting those sorrowful, give-the-poor-dog-food puppy eyed, EYES on ME making me succumb to giving him one or two of my brocolli or pig gummies. (pig gummies bought by kavan! =D)
normally when he whines for attention and allowance out of his room aka the balcony into the living room, i'll brush it off assuming its directed to someone else in the house? but now its apparent he's directing his whines on ME.
guilt and sadness overcomes me and i'll have to.. let him out. hence increasing the risk of him urinating everywhere.
sigh..
and once i let him out i have the responsibility of luring him back into the balcony with a dog biscuit. which i have to say, is rather tiring considering the smartness of this dog now. he'd run to where the biscuits are kept and MAKE SURE we grab one of those biscuits. because he used to get tricked by us, casually yelling the word 'biscuit, alfie' and eventually not giving him any cos we're too darn lazy to.

as i'm typing this he's at the door of my room staring at me. as usual.



my dog is actually camera shy!
when he sees the flash light he runs off.

he keeps scratching my leg
fat pig! he needs a fur cut.


cat sleeping on top of a taxi. saw it as the boyfriend was sending me home. hurhur. rushed to take the photo atop his bike.

i just realised that alfie is now seeking shelter in my room . that's because the usual Fumigation has started . that's a practice done by the condominium to get rid of mosquitos. alfie is TERRIFIED of that. he's hiding in my room now, sitting upright with his ears stretched back as though he's in 'Alert' mode.
as i stoke his back he stares at me with longing eyes. *melts*

I remember when alfie was much younger, and the fumigation took place, i didn't "rescue" him and he resorted to hiding under the chair at the balcony, and TREMBLED he literally shook. I immediately grabbed him to my room.
he shivered too when it was pouring rain with thunder. back then.
(all say with me now: awww...)

now that the fumigation has stopped he's returned to his original place to snooze which is riiiight outside my room door.
Uh oh he heard me rummaging through my bag of pig gummies. he's now placed his front paws on my legs waiting for one.

when i don't give him any he'll automatically do the command 'Sit'. which means he is sitting now.

o_O"

Caught Ratatouille last night! with Kavan and his youngest sister.. the show is SO NICE. i loved it.
i wonder why people keep comparing it to Evan Almighty saying Ratatouille wasn't as nice. how DO you compare 2 shows of completely different plots.
-.-"

HO YES!

my own header.
created entirely on my own from scratch.
of course the brushes were downloaded.

hurray.
I love Kavan's (the boyfriend) nose. Really, it looks like he has had a nose job done. It is so sharp and the nose bridge is so even and straight, like a skateboarding ramp that gives a boost for the player to gain as much points the higher he goes. Simply put, that nose of his SHOULD look good on a girl, right?

okay i know i look horrid in this photo
Look at how the light shines on that straight nose bridge. It practically reflects the light back like a mirror!




Straight!




So...


I tried photoshopping his nose onto my face.











Machiam like witch lidat.
When I told kavan what I'm doing he went like: eee loser.

@_@






This is original picture by the way.
I guess I can conclude sharp noses do not look good on me.

I've gone..


from black hair

to blondie

Attica's Saint or Sinners theme party on the 18th cum celebration of my favourite girl Huiwen's birthday!




and back to black.


and i love my black hair. so glad I got it dyed black. My only concern is that my hair is starting to fade to dark brown. Then my mum comes telling that MAYBE the dye that she bought wasn't a permanent one, could be a temporary colour. Since she didn't check the label.
-____-"


Haven't got any dinner plans with friends tonight, and bumming around at home alone. Gonna have to bear with the dinner cooked by my maid I guess. Honestly I'd rather starve than eat what she cooks.
Sounds means but, its true. The soup tastes like water, the vege are raw and hard, the steamed fish still taste fishy. ..
OKay I shall stop complaining now.
