An email i received...

Believe it or not. JUST FOR FUN

Woman has Man in it;

Mrs. has Mr . in it;

Female has Male in it;

She has He in it;

Madam has Adam in it;

No wonder men always want to be inside women!

Men were born between the legs of a woman, yet men spend all their life and time trying to go back between the legs of a woman.... Why? BECAUSE THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME


Okay, Okay, it all makes sense now... I never looked at it this way before:

Ever notice how all of women's problems start with MEN?

MENtal illness

MENstrual cramps

MENtal breakdown

MENopause

GUYnecologist AND ..

When we have REAL trouble,

it's a HISterectomy.

but you know what? I love the guys in my life...they support, encourage, and keep me going. They love me for who I am...and are there when I need them. And I can't say much, except that to all the guys in my life, thanks for being a blessing in my life, an awesome one! :)

For Tea...

For tea I had...(In addition to lunch)

A Tom Yam Mi Maggi Cup

A can of SUGAR SWEET Kickapoo...

An a huge fuji apple

Despite telling myself that the first two are not worth eating, I consoled myself by saying its only but once in a while. Gosh I know I'm so gonna grow fat.

So don't be surprised if you see a mrs Dumpling(wait, thats Mrs Jeanne Abdullah's nickname), or a humpty dumpty waddling up to you the next time we meet.

*groans*

Been thinking about...

At 2pm today, I was turning on the gas stove fire. or rather, trying. the gas was on, the fire wouldnt start... poke press poke the starter...then "POOM" th fire flew more than 10 inches into my face. yep, i WAS scared. went to the toilet, and was relieved to find everything was fine....

tried again for the 2nd stove, the same problem. just that this time, once bitten twice shy,the fire roared again but dint touch me.

I know I had a close shave.

My mum came back not long ago, and I told her what happened. yep, it was dangerous, i noe. and hey, thanks for teaching me that if that happens again, turn it off and try again in half an hour. I din't know that before. Then...

"...luckily nothing happened to your face. if not Nick also won't want you already"

me: "um,mom, I don't think he's such a person"

"...why would he want an ugly girl when there are so many beautiful girls outside?"

i dunno. i really don't. granted, the family would not be pleased at a guys selection of a woman "less than perfect". and honestly, there are many girls out there with nearly-flawless-skin.

You know, a guy can "dump" a girl like this(say,went tru accidents) so easily. What about after marriage? if he can afford to leave her before the marriage, when in a relationship, he is equally liable to leave her AFTER the marriage. to be fair, guys are physical. Not many are able to bear living with an "ugly gf/wife" his whole life.

But its injustice, you know. Pure injustice. How many accidents are intentional? How much injustice many of the deemed less beautiful woman must have endured. all for the sake of "beauty".

This may not be much, and hey I'm just writing this to cool my anger. Afterall, no one reads my posts / blog. It just makes me wonder...

By WHOSE standards are we living? Where is justice in this world?

Its not fair? Isnt it?
It really isnt.

backdated: Post exam Friday Pillow Talk =)

We had "Pillow talk" on friday,venue SR5, where a small circle of people gathered. Turut berserta were 2 of my batch mates:Her Majesty Queen Sook Cheng and Mr Anti Social Chong Sen,right after exams. Lol! just trying to be funny... and hey this picture XX commented "pelacur pelacur kamera...skills dah maju eh..."

LOL

It was fun. We exchanged stories, where majority spelled out what they did in their "naughty" childhood. It was funny to hear even the most serious person say "when i was young, i was very naughty, and I ..."

The we had to draw lots, and proceeded to draw each other...with our non writing hand.

These are some of the results: Joshua LingChloeMr Jeremy Joseph,brought to you by Sabrina OngSabrina Ong (I forgot by who)me, drew by Christy . Now I have a new nickname...aunty mata serong T_TWhile Christy got off easy...Chong Sen relented to his Orientation "spy"

Chong Sen, drew by me. He say I drew his head like a watermelon shape... Jonathan, CSS prez. By sook cheng Sook Cheng , by Jonathan. LOL. no wonder Jonathan say "I'll get my revenge..."Our very own Prez, Jimmy Tee, with his famous Adidas black lanyard. By Jeremy JosephEdwina...by Jae Ric Uncle Jae Ric Jeremy boy,by Joshua LingGroup photo. there was supposed to be this "family tree", dunno where it went ;p

Owh, I terpost some photos as large...lazy to repost la ;p

backdated: Post exam Mid valley outing

Summative...over! No comment on the past, so to say. I shall cross my fingers and wait till results come out.

But meanwhile...outing! 6 of us went to Mid valley: Chong Sen (the suposedly anti social guy), Sook Cheng, Jeremy, Jae Ric (the SAMPAH! orientation mates) and Sabrina =)

At Jeremy Joseph's recommendation, we went to eat asam laksa. Well...i mean, THEY did. Coz I was so "chicken", i took kuey teow mushroom soup instead... my kueyteow soup n sook's delicious asam laksaposers

and I REGRET my choice to the max!!! the curry was nice!!! thats why I kept taking the curry from chong sen and sook cheng, and perhaps that also explains why Jeremy tried to finish the curry...

the universal peace sign

but to be fair my noodles were not bad either la... and it was amusing to see most pple at time table with red faces and extreme perspiration! talk about thermoregulation...

we met a bunch of imu pple there too:Zia, our beloved batch rep :) Elvyna, our treasurer :)

And we caught "The Hulk" there too... Ok I'm kidding, this is what we saw in the supermarket...Sampah! (or the lack of it)

Are G12 pple all that shy? (kidding)

Then it was shopping for the next day's COP:Sab and eeyoreSook said I very evil , the uncalled for paparazzi :p (hey sook this is not so bad, there is another...)moments of sisterhood...(if there is such a word)

Will owiz cherish these moments we had and will have...

ps: owh, Sab, i stole photos from u =)

So close

Lately have been listening to the song "so close" by Jon McLaughlin...and each time alot of memories will flood back into my mind...the flood of pictures and images just bringing a smile to my lips - sometimes sad, sometimes amused, sometimes silly...

Song: So Close

Artist: Jon McLaughlin

Album: Enchanted

You’re in my arms

And all the world is calm

The music playing on for only two

So close together

And when I’m with you

So close to feeling alive

A life goes by

Romantic dreams will stop
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
And now forever I know
All that I wanted to hold you

So close

So close to reaching that famous happy end

Almost believing this was not pretend

And now you’re beside me and look how far we’ve come

So far we are so close

How could I face the faceless days

If I should lose you now?

We’re so close

To reaching that famous happy end

And almost believing this was not pretend

Let’s go on dreaming for we know we are

So close

So close

And still so far

There's so much in my heart that I don't know how to express....

Tired

And again I'm gonna say, this is gonna be an emo post. So don't read.

I'm just tired. Mentally. Physically. Emotionally. Spriritually. I sleep from 10pm-7am( I know I am a med student) but I'm still tired. Walking around ,enough fuel to go for the day , but no having any left over for important things like studying....in addition with stuff to do at home. Gets me really irritated, gets me real frusrated and today, a lil short tempered. Mentally. At times like this I really really really miss my close friends, coz its to them that I'm able to trust and open up. And sometimes, its not like I don't wanna share. But Its just that people don't ask. Don't care enough to ask. The bluntness and abruptness, the hi's and the byes...and it stops there. A few lame jokes maybe, but how many really care to look another in the eye, ask "hey how're you doing" and really mean it? As in,not as one is coming up the escalator and the other going down, yelling "how're you?"...and seriously, if I even had somethig I felt like sharing, my heart would be closed. Like, walk into the room where I'm alone, say hi, chat bout something and leave. Right.

But maybe its just me. Maybe just me being too sensitive. But at times, I really need the supporting shoulder to ask more than just academics. To understand that there is a soul under the lameness. To really sit down, listen, and just tell me that you care. To say more than "must study arrr". Maybe I'm asking too much. Maybe my expectation is too high. And maybe I'm dissapointed instead. But it all the more makes me miss the past...as much as I am and want to live in the present. I miss serving with my Taylor's buddies. My high school mates. Miss the times we were just open to each other, laughed at each other...and asked each other whether the other was alright, if we could do anything for the other. Here I feel alone. I feel like the place is so beastly, as if my feelings,me, it doesn't matter. Afterall, the world has enough other persons to carry on even if I'm not around. Guess I feel a lil lonely at times...there is no innerheart connection, most touch only the surface.

I talked alot about transition. To myself. Maybe I'm just "transitioning" from college to uni. But its 4 months already. Some things has changed, but not all. Fitting in? Maybe still not totally.

Maybe thats why I go from website to website, reading. Stare into space, at times become a bit slow aka blur. The reason I'm just more "weird" than my usual. And not putting on a mask, just that I leave my personal thoughts aside as I smile and encourage another, wanting another's care. And sometimes, ignoring a persons for no apparent reason. (I'm sorry). I know I sound childish, immature and all, but to me, it doesn't matter so much.

Or maybe it does.

The Family of G7

I miss G7. The craze, the hype, the gila-gila, the standing in front of the security guard house, aimless on where to eat for 10++ mins before we end up at...success.

I miss EiLeen my best g7 buddy, Carynn aka smarty skirt , XX aka Tyra Banks wannabe.gonnabe , JayMee the hype aka no.2 Joanne , Carmen my personal fashion designer , Grace aka giraffe my going toilet partner (and the rest of the girls la) ;p, Wendy aka Ninjitsu, LayPeng small cili padi, Evonne the "oh i wan...", HorYan +HooiThang+YingZhi(shadow)+BeeChyi+ Nanthini the hardworking ones, KahMen my fortunate victim, Sharon n ZhiYung the "twins", CJ and Chuah whose profanities enough to last a life time, Jess the "017xxxxxxx" ,

...WeiJin, Navin and ChongSen,I still see you in lectures! Haha. But seriously, we don't talk so much anymore *sad smile

I love this picture. So innocentOne of the nicest pictures of the year - G7 WE ARE FAMILYDoll Day ;p
OMGosh Navin!...and the rest of us =)

Take care you guys (and girls). Wherever you are, whatever you're doing. Oi, who get married must invite the rest to their weddings ya! waiting for the invitations....how many years later that is! :p

PG07

I miss PG07. The mornings where I woke people up with my loud voice (sorry people, I know I did), the times we shared are cared, the freindships and bonds that were established... Most of us are now not in contact with each other, but at least we crossed each other's paths...

Mising all you guys and the crazy antiques we did, the whining bout our courses, the supporting each other through tough times like exams...

To all of you, thank you for leaving traces of you in life. :)

I miss...

Watching the two good friends(also opposite sexes) walk to fill a bottle, I miss...

And the group of freinds engulfed in laughter I miss...

Skimming through other's blogs i miss...


I miss the olden times when friends were so real, so profound, so down to earth...

I miss the time we had for each other, we made for for each other...

I miss the poking and and teasing, the "insults" which made my days...

I miss the times we could share our true feelings to the other,and hold nothing back...

I miss the moments my tears could flow freely, and yet so naturally, the comfort from it...

I miss the old life, the times when we trampled to the "quiet zone" making noise...

(the stairs are made of metal, and even with sport shoes....) ;p

I miss the heart to heart talks, the randomness,and most of all, the hugs...


There is so much more that I miss,that my heart knows not how to write in words...

And I guess for me,no regrets over the past...


And to those who blessed me in your life with your mere presense,

Whether you just walked past, or are here to stay...

Thank you for the colours you shared in my life,

Miss you guys(girls too laaa) loads!!!

Hugz!!!


ps:I know this is a lousy poem,its Not meant to be one, just to say what I think...and I know that this is so so random! ;p
