Atomic Kitten - Someone Like Me
Feeling: Pleased

Just finished a new layout. I decided it was time for a change. I love this one, the contrast between the kitten and the dark background is superb.

Like, a bright shining star against a black velvet sky.

But I can't (and I don't want to) add more stuff. The layout is too squeezy, and I have to think of it as a way where both 15 and 17 inch monitors can view it nicely. It's such a terrible chore, seriously. I'm on a 15 inch, and if I were to fit it nicely for my viewing pleasures, Joey on her 17 inch monitor would view it as too small. Sigh.

I hope it looks fine. I will add a picture and prolly a counter soon. And that would be all. It's nice having a simple and sweet blog for a change.

Joey changed her blog's layout too. It's really nice too. Her layout is much better and easier than mine. But well, I'm using this because of the kitten. Hehe. Isn't she the sweetest thing? Kittens are just too adorable. I wouldn't mind having a million of them.

Final update of the day:

A picture taken a few weeks back. I just wanted to show of my Joey's pearlies. She hardly shows them ok?

Anastacia - Left Outside Alone
Feeling: Ecstatic

Met up with Qinglin and Amy today after work. It was fun. *squeals in delight* They're the greatest bunch of girls ever. We could still joke like before and talk about anything under the sun. I feel almost like myself with them.

We met at Novena, because we were supposed to accompany Qinglin for her haircut. But she didn't in the end. Amy and I sort of discouraged her actually. I mean, she wants to keep her hair longer, so why should she cut? Our logic, but it makes sense doesn't it?

We couldn't decide on what to eat at Novena, so we went to Bugis for Simply Thai instead. The Tom Yam soup could really burn one's throat, but still, it's quite yummy.

And here comes the climax of the day. The cutest and funniest part of our meeting. We decided to take those really cute photo stickers. It's been at least a year since I paid to take pictures. Anyway, we took one, which allows us to go overboard with 21 poses, and we get to choose 6 for the final print.

But sadly, we only had 4 different pictures in the end, prolly because we were too slow in choosing 6 from the 21 pictures. Pardon us, we're still new to this.

So here are the pictures we've taken. Are you feeling a wee bit surprised that I'm posting pictures? Hehe.

Introducing... Ingrid.

Finally a decent picture.

I look like Ronald MacDonald. I have his lips! Okay, that's actually my nails against my lips and thus making it look sausagy. I had to clarify this.

Now, aren't I good? I'm not keeping all these ugly pictures to myself.

PS: I had another picture, but I think I dropped it. Those darn things are so small. Doh.

Nelly Furtado - Powerless
Feeling: Productive

I am in deep shit, it's close to 6am now, and I'm still typing away. I have to wake up early for an interview later, like at 10am. So I'm left with 4 hours of pathetic sleep. Which inevidently leads to a horrible looking me, which means they wouldn't want me for the job.

Just finished helping Joey and Zhongying with their blogs. It's tiring, but well, at least I learn while I help them. And it feels good to be doing something.

Okay, time to hit the hay.

PS: I'm very hungry. Should I cook something before I sleep? Hmm...

Beyonce - Me, Myself & I
Feeling: Touched

This is a Friendster testimonial that Zhong Ying wrote for me:

"for her smile is simply irresistable. for her eyes are utterly captivating. for her face is so pretty & sweet. for she eats alot but doesn't get fat. for all her deafening laughter. for she's a pink fanatic. for she shops like there's no tomorrow. for she loves manicures & pedicutes. for she's a bookworm when it comes to books. for she has uncountable mp3s in her computer. for she's someone to have a heart-to-heart talk with. for her strong faith that things will go well eventually. for she doesn't get agigated for whatever weird nicknames i use to address her. for she is who she is. there are just too many things to list down about her... p/s: so glad we're friends again! i'll treasure this friendship. hope you'll always be happy!"

Simple words that could mean a whole world to me. Reading that practically made my day. It's so sweet, and well, it's written for me! Feels like... somwhere out there in that big cold world, there's someone who actually cares about me. Simple words that could bring tears to my eyes. Words from the heart, is a lovely gift.

Thank you so much woman, for being so surprisingly sweet. I'm glad we're friends again too.

God really has a way with life. The way that friends always have an uncanny sense of stepping into your lives again, when you're feeling lost and alone. That's you, and Clara too.

*huggles to my 2 angels*

PS: She always calls me "Woman". So I'll call her that too.

I wanna do a re-vamp of my blog. I mean, just adding a couple more things, not changing the whole layout. Can you see some differences?

Hopefully I can finish it by tomorrow. Since I'll be home the whole day tomorrow, I should do something productive.

Bedtime for me soon. My whole body is aching from sitting on my computer chair for too long. Wow, almost 10 hours. Small wonder my neck is practically breaking.

Went for my manicure today. I love my new nails. No more sweet girlie baby pink for me this time. (Well, actually I wanted to do pearl white with pink, but Joycelyn said that I'm so boring, always doing the same sweet thing. And forever doing French.) But I can't help it that I like French right? Subtle and classy, who doesn't like it? Too elaborate nail arts a little... erm... trashy. So I went ahead and did something different.

Anyway, wanna hear about my nails?

Think hot violet red, or maybe fuchsia? With silver and baby pink. (Okay, I still did a little pink, but it's really little compared to what I usually do. I can't not use pink.) Totally spiffy huh?

Oh, and under dark light, it's blood red against silver. I wished I could take a picture and post it, maybe this weekend I will.

And did I mention it's totally spiffy? *lol*

An intepretation of a dream I had sometime ago:

Oh, I dreamt about snakes by the way.

A snake, being the ages old symbol of evil or satan, makes it a bad omen to have one show up in a dream. To see a lone snake and feel threatened by it shows that you have a bad enemy that is even then working against you, it also gives a warning against bodily harm from an enemy. To dream of many snakes in a pit is the foreboding of much bad luck in love or business. Should you overcome and kill a threatening snake in your dream shows that you will overcome your adversary and win out.

Seeing a snake or be bitten by one in your dream means hidden fears and worries that are threatening you. Your dream may be alerting you to something in your waking life that you are not aware of or that has not yet surfaced. The snake may also be seen as phallic and thus symbolize dangerous and forbidden sexuality. The snake may also refer to a person around you who is callous, ruthless, and can't be trusted. As a positive symbol, snakes represent transformation, knowledge and wisdom. It is indicative of self-renewal and positive changes.

A snake ready to strike means treachery from one you least expected; killing it means victory over enemies.

An recurring issue that has not been resolved yet. Can involve treachery or sense of betrayal.

Well, from the intepretations above, I can conclude that it doesn't sound nice. For god's sake, I didn't kill any snakes, I was bitten and completely surrounded my them. So there's no positive side to my dream at all.

"You believe what you want to believe. You feel what you want to feel. It's not real."

So, as usual, I choose to not believe this. Yeah, sue me. I love running away from reality.

PS: I raked my brains and I couldn't think of any enemies or someone around me who would betray me. This is scary.

Love, is an amazing thing.

Amazing because, the amount of tears we could shed for one person. The ache of a broken heart.

Amazing because, the burst of light inside you when your love made you happy. The laughter of a blissful heart.

But, love is amazing to me, because...

In the end, it's all about forgiveness.

Amazing because, the ability to forgive and forget. The smile of a broken heart.

Yes, I'm in love.

You will never believe what I did, or rather acomplished. *grins* I've fixed my damn computer! I gave up last night and decided not to bother about electronics anymore.

Woke up this morning, re-read 2 books, fed the parrot, ate some chocs, drank some milk and apple juice. And I was too fucking bored that I decided to take out my Daddy's toolbox, open out my CPU, and fiddle and poke around at those... whatever they're called. I was thinking if I spoilt my computer even worse, it doesn't matter, since it's already not in working condition. So there's absolutely no harm in trying.

So, as I poked around the insides of the CPU, while talking to my cat. Yes, you heard me right, I was talking to my cat. Imagine what boredom can do to a being. I decided to give it a try and switched on my computer. And tata! It worked!

So here I am, typing this, waiting for my Antivirus and Firewall download to finish. It's quite buggy now, but well, at least I still could kinda use it.

So bless me. Hopefully this piece of retarded electronic wouldn't freak out on me again. I swear if it does, I'm gonna give up on using computers forever. Well, maybe not, I'll just buy a new one.

PS: I can't seem to upload a new song. How sad.

Alright, off to upload new songs. I'm a wee bit sick of this song.

deep inside me. a silent whisper in my mind.

sweet surrender to your love divine. peace enfolding.

in the stillness i empty my soul. and your healing presence flows.

as i breathe the air of heaven. drawing in your fragrance when i breathe.

i feel your fullness come alive inside of me. you're the breath that i breathe.

it's taking hold. like a second nature when i savour. savour you. as i breathe.
