buying-shoes analogy

I was daydreaming on the train just now and out of the blue, thought of Jaslin's love for shoes, high heels in particular. She once mentioned somewhere on her blog about not going out without wearing a perfect pair of shoes.

Indeed, be it for comfort or style, your footwear can really make or break your day. Prior to choosing a perfect shoes for the day, one has to go through a tedious and sometimes disappointing process of searching for the one pair of shoes that suits your needs.

It seemed to me that decision-making in life can be so similar to searching and buying a pair of perfect shoes. On a shopping trip, you may find shoes that are so pretty and suitable but once you tried it on, it might cause you some discomfort. So the question is, 'to buy or not to buy?' Would you buy a pair of shoes that looks perfect but kills or would you choose one that is less pretty, but gives you the comfort you need?

If you're unsure and asks for a second opinion, what you define as a perfect pair of shoes might not be how others perceive. So it all boils down to what preceeds what, in your opinion. Nobody can help you because you will be the one wearing the shoes you bought.

It's too random for a daydream, isn't it?

belated birthday celebration

To xw, wl and rebec:

I am glad that you all took time off to meet up with me for a belated celebration and even bought me a walnut chocolate cake. I am grateful and deeply appreciate that you all remember me despite your busy schedule. With our different paths ahead, such gatherings might be rare in future and hence, I do treasure every moment of time together with you all.

What I mentioned in the previous post is merely a small episode. Of course I understand that you all are joking about it, but I too realise how embarrassing it can be for me, in your shoes. The last sentence speaks only of a solution to this problem so that I do not impose upon you.

Please do not misunderstand and know that I only mean well.

Take care~

my flaws

I understand that I have numerous flaws that most people cannot stand. Being late, having bad memory, uncontrollable, uproarious laughter are some of those that I am aware of.

Some of them are indeed bad habits that I ought to kick (which in fact, I am trying to, believe it or not). However, I can't help but feel sad that some friends find it difficult to understand and accept some of the flaws that I, mayhaps, have inherited.
My hyena-like laughter when watching comedy have made some people embarassed to watch such movies with me, in public. Believe it or not, my aunties and mum possessed such characteristic, which led me to assume that I have inherited such trait from them. Anyhow, I don't see what is wrong with laughing my heart out when watching a comedy. The entire agenda of watching a comedy is to laugh and relief stress, isn't it?

Since I don't feel the need to change this aspect of me, it is incredibly fortunate that I feel perfectly comfortable about watching movies alone. :)

Idolism

After a week of delightful birthday celebrations, I have to post about this new eye-candy from a recent TVB series I just finished- 突围行动..

〈吴卓义〉


Another handsome, charismatic, young man for me to admire~

“他是活泼不羁的康世熙
他是承天大任的徐子陵
他是用情专一的张君瑞
他是执着正义的王 五
他是可爱积极的唐亦风
他是充满斗志的钟立文
他是不甘低头的王启杰
他是帅气能干的童日进
他是雷厉风行的冷凌弃
他是爱恨徘徊的唐问生
他是完美男人——吴卓羲”

Not a professional or a TVB fan, but I definitely can recognise budding talent when I see on!! (or maybe I'm just swooned by his good looks. Whatever~ :P)

Hmmm, looking at my previous posts, I realised I've been quite obsessed with cute actors these days, regardless of nationality. lol. It must be due to some information that I found regarding the pros of idolism to certain forms of healing - so far so good. :)

I'm sure you dear friends can stand the sudden but temporary bimbotic behaviour~ :)

My # # Birthday (V)

It's my fifth birthday post already~!!!
At first, I wasn't looking forward to celebrating my 20th birthday, not even a bit.
However, the traditions with various cliches brought my attention to the precious gifts that were always there. The friends who are like angels to remind me that I am not alone. I am never alone.

Today, my cousins and sis celebrated my birthday with me at Tampines. Aside from savouring sushi and sashimi that I've missed for so long, my cousins bought me a special cake - it's a box of 9 little tiramisu cupcakes from Emicakes. Delicious~!! Thanks, tong :)

On top of that, ting also bought me a oxygen facial mask, which is suppose to slim my face after use~!! Just want I need!! It's really thoughtful of her. (Pretty looks coupled with high EQ, I'm surprised she doesn't have boyfriend yet. I'm sure she has tons of admirers though)

All in all, it was a great time with cousins and I really appreciate their time and gifts today.

My # # Birthday (I V)

With sy, it was a simple dinner at Tampines' Kopitiam and a laid-back booze-drinking session at Blue Urban Oasis. Nothing elaborated, not even our attire, yet, we had a good time heart-to-heart-talking.

What was even sweeter was when sy shared this website with me on how to make DIY facial masks and even bought avocado for me to try out this facial mask which is suppose to moisturise the skin. Thanks sy for being so thoughtful and caring (like usual).
Many atimes, reality have forced us to hide our real thoughts and true selves in order to do the right thing. I'm glad that most of my friends are caring and truthful, even though it might sometime hurts...

I only wish this could last forever... ...

My # # Birthday (I I I)

And now that it had hit, it was even worse than I'd feared it would be. I could feel it - I was older. Everyday I got older, but this was different, worse, quantifiable. I was eighteen.

Thanks to QLX, I didn't have to celebrate my birthday alone this year. Cycling with florine in the morning was the best exercise that I had for a long time. Really appreciated that she took the day off to cycle with me. Even though my thighs are aching now, I know it's all worth it. And I also have the mention the Disney mplayer that mao and her got for me. It is really pretty and most definitely practical. 100% useful for joggers like me. 100% suitable for the sporty-look that I sometimes go for :) Thankz for the gift, gals!

The day then continued with a 3-hour karaoke session with her, 3cia and teresa at katong followed by thai express - the restaurant that we went last year. too bad i forgot the orange card that they gave me a year back, which expires exactly today.

The day ended with one round of mahjong, which I of course spent quite abit on entertainment.

I am grateful that at this down moment of my life, I still have friends by my side. I am really touched by the friendship and as I mentioned earlier on, the time spent with you all is the best birthday gift I received this year~!!

Thank you, friends :)

This is silly, but it was the exact 'f' word that caused me to lose something dear to me. However, knowing the importance of it, I'd say he made the right choice to choose it over me. WTH, why am I still thinking about it?

My # # Birthday (I I)

Just a dream, I told myself. It was only a dream. I took a deep breath, and then jumped again when my alarm went off. The little calendar in the corner of the clock's display informed me that today was September thirteenth.
Only a dream, but prophetic enough in one way, at least. Today was my birthday. I was officially eighteen years old.

As we grow, so does our network (thankfully). Met up with my marketing mates at Popeye at Changi Airport for a small get-together(Thankful to have met this group of friends before I graduate.)

After Popeye, we wanted to visit the butterfly garden in T3 as stated in the brochure; only to discover to our dismay, that it is in the transit section. Anyways, we did have some very good time taking 'artistic' photos with my digital camera and ky's 'basic professional camera' (whatever that means).

I hope this budding friendship can maintain throughout and more of such heart-warming memories can be formed as we all grow older.

The importance of friendship and its relationship with managing stress cannot be undermined (According to Dr. Robert Sapolsky)

Even so, I reckon I should stop before I get all emotional and mushy. *Tissue please*

My # # Birthday (I)

"How old are you?"
"Seventeen," he answered promptly.
"And how long have you been seventeen?"
His lips twitched as he stared at the road. "A while," he admitted at last.

It's my 20th birthday again and as part of the QLX tradition, we met up to celebrate :) Thanks to cy, we did something different this year at the Science Centre, and got to know our body and the environment better. The last time I went Science Centre was, about a decade ago. It could be the company, or that this is not the usual school trip that forced us to visit, this Science Centre outing was the best experience I had.

I must also mention the cake that they prepared. It's a chocolate cake from Polar Puffs and Cakes with a unique and pretty surface:



What can I say but that my friends knew me best? :) To receive a Hello Kitty birthday cake at this tender age before being an adult figure to others, is the best reminder that we ought to treasure time as it flows away like the stream.

I really enjoyed myself today. From the visit to the Science Centre, to cutting the pretty cake, to receiving appropriate and suitable gifts, to playing mahjong (and losing money) with my 好姐妹. The time spent together is the most valuable gift the money cannot buy.

At the emotional moment when cutting the cake, I thought, "Wouldn't it be just wonderful if we can still maintain this tradition when all of us have wrinkled hands and rounded figures and kids who are going through life and we are right now?"

Adults always say that the best times to make friends are your schooling days. I am glad that I had not waste a moment of my youth to get to know these gals who all hold a special place in my heart. Someone once said that friendship is not something that we measure by quantity but by quality. On this beautiful Sunday, I have to agree once again that it is so, very true.

I love you, QLX!
