I just love American sitcoms. They are all so funny and they never fail to make me laugh. In fact i always laugh so hard that my whole family thinks that i'm some crazy woman laughing at my laptop screen. But who cares. Laughter is really the best antidote to everything, to anxiety, depression, stress and to cope with anger. American sitcoms are the really effective treatments!!!

I love Victoria's secret! This heart bandeau top is so so sweet. Really love it but it is way too expensive. Maybe i will get it when there is a special price for it. Can't wait for my VS bikini and dresses to arrive. So exciting!

Seek To Understand

"Grant that we may not so much seek to be understood as to understand."

Always Seek First to Understand,then to be Understood

Everything happens for a reason

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no-one but yourself, and sometimes things fall apart so that better things can fall together."

So if someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them because they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart.

I miss hall life! I miss all the crazy things that we do. Cheerleading and extinguishing and Hard Gay sessions. Hall bashes with lots of people ended up drunk. Late night suppers and long walks out of hall to Cityharvest. Cooking maggi mee and watching movies in people's room. Birthday bashes with everyone ended up wet and dirty. Drinking games with everyone getting drunk in Sylvia's room. Crazy FOC times. Overseas trip with hall people. Long night talking sessions in JCRC room. Block BBQ. All the fun hall activities.

Boy, i really miss hall life!

My sister said something that makes me realize what it means to love someone. It means that you would be by his or her side regardless of what happens. Would you be by their side through ups and downs? Would you be by their side when they are down, sick or having difficulties in life? When your lover is doing something wrong would you correct him or leave him to die? When your lover has a character flaw would you be there to help him to change or give up on him? I guess most people would not be by their lovers' side even though they claim how much they love them. Love is not in word or in tongue but in act. Are there really love around? Perhaps love from God, our family and some friends are the real love. The selfless love. This is the real love that will last forever and give us genuine happiness. Perhaps we do not have enough real love in our lives so we have to fill our emptiness with whatever that feels good in the moment.

Broken Dreams

As children bring their broken toys
With tears for us to mend,
I brought my broken dreams to God
Because He was my friend.
But then instead of leaving Him
In peace to work alone,
I hung around and tried to help
With ways that were my own.

At last I snatched them back and cried,
"How could you be so slow"
"My child," He said, "What could I do?
You never did let go."

Went to GV's movies-in-the-park night at Fort Canning Park. It was quite romantic lying on the grass and watching movies under the stars at Fort Canning Park. However the two movie sneaks turned out to be a disappointment.

Make It Happen was a really bad movie with lousy plot. In fact it was so lousy that some people started leaving during the movie.

My Sassy Girl was much watchable even though i would say it was not as good as the korean version. Elisha Cuthbert was not as violent and crazy as Jeon Ji-Hyeon. I guess this is always the case. The Hollywood version can never be as good as the original version. I only like the last part where they talked about destiny. There is a strong message behind the romantic woes — a tale of destiny. We can’t sit and wait for destiny to happen but we must build the bridges ourselves. "Destiny is the bridge you build to the one you love." Indeed you are the one making your own destiny.

Update on where i have been to last week other than school.

Night Safari! We were in luck that night as we got to see most of the animals. I remembered all the animals were hiding when i last went there and i had a hard time spotting the animals. And i really love the lesser mouse-deer (There is also a greater one). Feel like bringing one home. They look so adorable!

I'm too late. Too late to even see her one last time before they sealed up the wooden box. Goodbye Ah Ma. Goodbye my last grandparent. You will always be in my heart.

Good bye Singapore! Cambodia, Vietnam and Yunnan here i come!

Yeah! Finally my 10 weeks of internship has ended. I'm happy not because i do not enjoy my stay in CAAS. In fact i love it. The people at CAAS are so friendly and fun. Does your office people run around and hit each other in the office? Does your office people never run out of lame jokes and ideas to tease each other (like hiding the office phone in each others' bag so that we have to check our bags furiously before we leave office every day)? Does your office people laugh at every possible thing? Yes, these are some of the things we do in the office. It may be childish but we certainly enjoy our everyday stay in the CAAS. Not to forget the times we explore around a whole new different world in the transit area or the times we simply stand at the viewing mall looking at every plane that takes off or arrives. Boy, i think i will miss the indian vegetarian food in T3 transit and the chicken cutlet hor fun in Changi village. As well as the pool and karaoke and badminton session in the club. And most importantly, i will miss the people in IA. But of course, i will try to forget all my nonsensical and stupid actions in the office like walking like T-Rex and banging against the cubicle and the coffee table (and getting bruises everywhere). I can't even believe that i actually do those things (and now i am known as the T-Rex). Hahahhaa but who cares? Everyone was so amused and got a good laugh. But i wonder what will happen to those videos of mine. Here are some of the photos we took in the airport:

Why so serious?

I love the joker's laughter.

Went to a concert in my friend's church. Guess what? It's actually a private concert of JJ Lin Jun Jie. He actually sang some songs that were not released to the public. I also got to know more about his life story through a play put up by his friends. He said that everything he has is a gift from God. Indeed, we receive much graces from God and we should be thankful for his unconditional love for us. Yes, Jesus loves me!

Met up with YL today. It's been a while since we met up. I think it's one or two years. I enjoyed myself despite being tired. I felt so tired every day. It must be the daily journey from the west to the east. I shouldn't put CAAS as my first choice for Internship but again, working in the Airport has been a wonderful experience so far. Being able to explore restricted areas in the Airport is so exciting. So far, i have explored ABCD. The Airport Staff mainly gets access to ABCDTV. A stands for apron where you would get to see the planes right in front of you. B stands for Baggage area. C stands for Cargo. D stands for Departure area which is the transit area. We basically shop in the transit area during our lunch time. T stands for Control Tower and lastly, V stands for VIP Complex. Will update photos taken in the Airport another time.

Met up with the girls at Bukit Timah today. We had so much to share with each other. I think we just talk about everything under the sun. We went to this cafe called Mad Jack. The food is quite good especially the desserts. They look so pretty and yummy! I guess i just have a sweet tooth. After the meal, we went to one of the girls' house for a stayover. She actually has a cinema in her house. An air-conditioned room with theater system and two cupboards full of DVDs. We had so much difficulty choosing what to watch as there is simply to many to choose from. In the end, we watched What happens in Vegas and The Forbidden Kingdom. Stayovers with the girls are so fun!

Went to a friend's 21st Birthday party today. Had attended quite a few birthday parties this year. After a while, I realize birthday parties are all the same. However, it means a lot to the Birthday girl or boy 'cos it is a rite of passage for them. It marks the change from a teenager to an adult even though you only grew older by one year.

Went to Acid Bar to chill out today. I realized Emerald Hill is actually a very nice place to chill out. Anyways, I love Acid Bar. The live music there is superb. The singer is so charming and he is full of emotions when he sings. Much to our surprise, we get to witness a hen party that night. There is this girl selling kisses for two bucks that night. She is going to get married and it's her Hen party that night. I didnt' know that Singaporeans actually celebrate this rite of passage. It's so cool!

Had a picnic with the cheerleaders at Sentosa today. We had two lovely and cute doggies to accompany us. Unfortunately, they are not very smart dogs. They actually ate the sand at the beach. I wonder why dogs eat sand. We actually did cheerleading stunts in the beach and got quite a lot of attention from the people there. I guess we are always doing cheerleading stunts everywhere we go. Anyways, i took lots of photos and here it goes.

Went to a friend's 21st Birthday Party at Holland Village. She had her party at Essential Breweries. I have only one comment for the food there. C'est delicieux! Heard that they put special herbs and spices in the food. Anyways i had much fun catching up with my JC friends. It has been a while since we met up.

On a nice and lazy Saturday afternoon, I met up with the girls. I suggested that we meet up in somewhere away from the busy crowds and so we ended up in Haji Lane. It's our first visit to the street and we were amazed that this narrow street has much to offer. The whole street is filled with innovative shops. Seems like it is Singapore's newest hotspot for hip boutiques.

Went for Night Cycling that Night. Cycled from East Coast Park to Bedok for Supper and then to Geylang. And a very unfortunate incident happened to me at Geylang. I got pushed down by someone. He was actually blocking my path and refused to give way. So i avoided him and took another path. Then he took the same path as me and i knocked into him. Nothing happened to him but i flew away with my bicycle and got cuts and scratches everywhere. So painful! Despite this incident, we still continued to cycle to Orchard and then back to East Coast Park. On our way, we stopped at Haji Lane and took some photos. Second time here today again!

Had a little Heritage Tour at few places today. These places include Amoy Street, Ann Siang Street, Club Street, etc. I felt like a tourist exploring heritage sites in Singapore.

Met up with the cheerleaders for some good food today. We went to Hanabi restaurant at Bras Basah Road. Good food at great price i would say. It's actually buffet so we could eat as much as we can. Yummy! Celebrated the two guys' birthday at the same time. Look at how happy they are.
