When the girls gather, there are bound to be fun times.

I can't wait!

Yep, I forgot to update for a week.

Okay, more like lazy. Anyway... I'm trying to remember what I did last week. I'm actually very bad at remembering things. I have pretty short memory. Which explains why I LOVE last minute studying... No it's not an excuse. XD

Friday 8/1 (I nearly forgot about this!)

Manda and Von came over. We watched Zoolander and played Monopoly and some Wii!

Fun times I tell ya!

Saturday 9/1


Catch up session at Paddington in The Curve. Wai Loon bought a DSLR so Jackie now has a partner...

... and everyone else has nicer pictures on FB.

Monday 11/1

CNY is around the corner. My mum and kaima is making kuih kapek! Kapit? Love letters? Whatever.


Being the good/nosy daughter I am, I decided to "help" them out whenever I'm free.
You see, the only thing I can do is put the kuih into their tins.


I cannot fold the kuih as they are too hot for me to handle! But looking at the pros doing it, it's like folding a tissue paper... So I give up and let them do their job! I'm just the benchwarmer/subsitute whenever they go for a break, which they hardly do unless it's lunch break.

Imagine how drool-worthy (not that it isn't drool-worthy ey? XD) this will look with a DSLR camera. Something that I would not invest on. Nope. I have other hobbies that already burns a hole in my purse, thank you very much.

Tuesday 12/1

I watched a uh-what-just-happened movie today - The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.
It wasn't boring. No. It was just... I can't explain it. It is kind of interesting though. As tantan would put it, one of the more interesting movies we watched together for the past month.
Because we are still kids at heart (or we thought we were) and we went to watch The Princess and the Frog and Alvin and the Chipmunks 2. And I wished I had used the money to eat McD instead.

R.I.P. Heath Ledger

Wednesday 13/1

Supposed to be a power cut from 11am to 6pm, so I went over to help/disturb them making the kuih.

American Idol Season 9!! Somehow Kara seems more in place after Paula left. I just want to see Ellen! She'll appear after the audition rounds I think.


Enough of blabbing from me. It's already Thursday, and I have not started sewing the Timcanpy that this girl wanted me to sew during CF. @_@

Imma start today.

Timcanpy > Resume

I'll... do my resume after I'm done with Timcanpy.

And then the little boy falls asleep
Among the ashes in the flames shining...
First one, then two...

Today...

Yours truly...

Went jogging. I swear a snowstorm is coming.

It all started when my dear Manda, who lives literally a stone's throw away from me (if I throw the freaking stone with all my might) called me at 6pm, when I was weighing between the option of watching the American Idol Season 8 rerun or taking a lovely evening nap.

The lovely tune of "Wedding Dress" by Taeyang rang ever so pleasantly in my ear. Seeing it was Manda, I thought she wanted to discuss about tomorrow's session at my place.

Manda: Heyyyyyy, you wanna go jogging with me?

And you know, me being me, and her being her, I couldn't refuse...

So yes, I got off my lazy butt and went jogging with her around the neighborhood.

I have to say, it was quite fun taking a jog, sweating and being cooled off by the warm evening breeze.

Mmmmmm... XD

So, let's just say I got about.. 15 minutes worth of exercise today? LOL. We walked around the neighborhood after the jog too. Nice! If all goes well (I'm looking at you Mr. Weatherman) we will jog again.

And after the jog today, we went to torture our poor feet in the hot spring! Something that I could only beat her at. I feel so proud staying here, I have gained the ability to withstand hot water on my skin. =D

Till tomorrow comes, Yan signing off!

Why do people yearn for answers?
I’m happy with this, happy

Not impressed. The only redeeming value are the Chipettes, which were awesome in their own right! Hot N Cold, Put Your Records On and Single Ladies! XD

I remember watching a very old "The Chipmunk Adventure" starring the Chipmunks and the Chipettes which are hand drawn when I was a lil girl.

ahhh memories

We shall watch less kiddie shows from today onwards. New Year resolution? Haha!

Another resolution: Buy my first skirt in 3 years. I sorta know what I want, now to find it!

Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song
You go ahead, let your hair down
Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,
Just go ahead, let your hair down

Picture post! Cuz I'm lazy...

31/12/2009


Kampai + Heineken + Wii = Loads of laughter

New Year fireworks caught on my sucky HP camera. The red dot IS the firework that has yet to expand into its full glory =D

1/1/2010


Breakfast at 10am at Steven's Corner. 2nd year in a row! Manda's thumb. =P
Have-breakfast-together-for-the-New-Year gang this time : Me, tantan, Von, lingling and Manda. It shall grow!

3D glasses. Avatar in 3D! fell asleep during the final battle. I ish fail. Woke up in time to see Jake turn into the blue cat suit.

2/1/2010


Apartment repainting in progress. The walls are a mess! Water sprayed on the walls resulted in the ugly patches. It's gonna be beige in a few weeks.

Great start to the New Year!

And Happy Birthday Pei Ying! My childhood friend. <3

I'll start
Monday starts these regular days
The weekend that I long for is still far away
I'm already used to the routines on Tuesday & Wednesday
The smile I faked might have just cramped

By the time I realize, it's Thursday
This is pretty important
Since I don't have any plans for tomorrow night
I'll spend all of Friday thinking
Freely, I'll break through these walls & go

My favourite song from NEWS! Because it's written by GReeeeN. Which is one of my favourite groups! Awesome combo.

It's gonna be the year 2010 in just a few hours!!

I went back to my LJ and I realized I didn't make any resolutions for 2009. Who needs resolutions anyway? XP

Reflecting back on 2009:
- Finished my tertiary education with... running colours? I'm sure they don't look like flying to me
- Improving plushie making skills
- Working on my image
- Established and maintained, what I hope would be life long friendships
- Sis got married, I now have a bro-in-law =D
- The last year I can afford to be childish, next year is the working world baybeh!

So for 2010, I'm not making any resolutions either. Because I will (a) forget about them and (b) worry too much to achieve them.

I'd rather live my life at my pace.

Which explains why my resume is not even done yet!

Last year, friends slept over at my place, after playing some Wii.

This year, I'm going to sleep over at Tantan's place. After playing some Wii! And drinking! Not like we can drink alot but wth...

And then having our going-to-be-made-into-a-yearly-tradition breakfast together with Von on 1 Jan. Wheeeeeeeeee~~ We had Stevens last year. Maybe this year too?

and then I'll be going to watch Avatar (for the 2nd time!) but in 3D with my fam. I hope I'm not too tired so I don't fall asleep in the cinema.

I wish everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Hope you had a memorable 2009, but make way for 2010!

Far away, long ago
Glowing dim as an ember,
Things my heart used to know,
Once upon a December

~Once Upon a December from Anastasia OST

sometimes when you get a shiny new toy
you forget the old worn out teddy
i never want to be someone like that

Taking off the rose handcuffs, and holding each others’ white wrists
It is the miracle of our embrace--you are beloved
Kneel down and offer the painful words of love
A red arabesque soaking the bandages
