can't recall any song to really sum up my yr..

Movie: Gullivers Travels

Caught Gullivers Travels with deardear at AMKhub

Wasn't really as exciting as I had expected... In fact, got bored pretty soon~

Was kinda interesting that opposite of Lilliput, behind the fog, is actually the Land of Giants! But what I don't understand is how on earth did that little guy manage to find Gulliver soooo quickly =.=

Pretty cool how efficient and pro the Lilliput citizens are... Manage to build the home super fast n nice~ haha



ohhh~ I super duper love the short video before the movie~ The nut-crazy squirrel from Ice Age~ Totally laugh still stomach cramp sia~ *two thumbs up*

Movie: Tron

Caught Tron wid deardear and his friends @ Suntec City Eng Wah...

Dear didn't expect that I would want to watch this movie. Actually, neither did I. Can't remember what was it that make me changed my mind, well, definitely not because it's from Walt Disney!

Totally love this movie. Nice effect, and interesting storyline...

Muahaha~ I understand the storyline better than dear! He thought I couldn't catch it~ but I caught it long before him!


Find it soooo cool that damage to the cells can be 'repaired' just by removing the disk~ If only illness is as easy to cure...

Worth watchin~

Movie: Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows Part I

Caught Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows Part I with MinFang, her bf & Fel @ SDC... Redeem the youthphoria tix...

*Two thumbs up!* worth watchin again~ Way better than the previous movie!

Even though there were parts that didn't not go in line with the book, but it was great~


Now I can't wait for the last part to be out! Though sad that the series is ending, but it had been great... Shall collect the whole set and have a HP movie marathon 1 day ^^

Movie: The Next 3 Days

Caught The Next Three Days with MinFang and her friend sometime back...

Amazed how things turn out... But somehow, somewhere in e middle of e movie, I could already guess that the female lead isn't the murderer...

Didn't really enjoy the movie... Too long-winded in a way? Was already bored within 1/2 hr of the movie... *so did the rest*

Being Appreciated and Recognise

Have been in a good mod since last night. Thanks to an ART TRADE with fellow tumblr member.

What is an ART TRADE?
It's a special request between two artist, trading their artwork. Can be anything as long as both are okay. Commonly seen in tumblr is doodles/drawings that are being used for Art Trade.

Had decided to go for the art trade even though I been holding myself back, as I didn't believe my craft skills are up to standard. You won't know until you tried, ain't it?

Ever since I got in the the craft craft since July 2009, making cards for loved ones for birthdays and anniversary have been a norm for me. Appreciation and praise for the effort put in, as well as the unique design for each card.

In a way, soon I wanted those cards to be more than just a simple gift to my loved ones. I wanted to share my cards, reaching out to more than just those around me.

So, I started to post my cards on facebook. And around september/october poly break, I started to set up tumblr as well as devianART just to share my craftwork.

Even though I had done those with the mindset of wanting to reach out to more people, but I didn't really expect that it would work. Thus, every now and then, I'm pleasantly surprised to see notification of appreciation for all these card I had done.

Due to the Art Trade that I done recently, I had reach out to even more people as the fellow tumblr had posted my craftwork in her tumblr. Can you believe 200% increasement for followers?

And this happy feeling, or maybe I can call this as satisfaction, had been in me since last night ever since I saw how many people had liked my card.

I feel appreciated.
I feel recognised.
And it really boost my confidence about my card making.

And all these had to thank everyone out there.

Internet really do wonders ^^

Movie: Megamind

Caught Megamind with WY & XZ @ AMKhub Cathay...

It's great~ There's kindness in everyone, even the villain...

It's really funny when they found that metroman isn't dead! lol~

*Thumb up* worth watchin~ but I do understand why there are ppl who say it isn't as good as Despicable Me

Mails...

I wasn't really into mails... But recent two years, or rather last year to be specific, was the year that I had the most mails ever. And it's all because of one person...

Looking at those mails, even including hand-delivered, bring back memories and trigger thoughts and emotions.

Yet, those had belonged to the past. A past that is practically not possible to bring back at all.



Dear ________,

I miss the times when mails were an unexpected surprise from you.

From me.

Somehow, I feel that even if there's someone else who going to send me mails, it would never replace that feeling that I had last year. Because, those memories and emotions that trigger, belong to this certain someone. Someone who had once shared that special fate with me. Someone who shared that special number with me.

Letting Go?

"拿的起放得下"

Who's able to really do the above? I know I can't, even though I'm still trying to do so.

Things that happen in my life, especially when it comes to things related to relationships, I'm still unable to let things go, despite how badly that it had gone to.

At times I really wonder, is it really the end? How could it have ended, especially in such a bad way? As if, what we had been before, was just nothing?

Besties, soulmates, sisters, friends... Did all these names/status even meant anything to you before, or just that it no longer matters now?


It's so easy to just remove someone from facebook, msn, contact list... And it seems that it is as easy to remove someone from your life, from your past, as if it had never happen before.

Sorry, but I'm not able to do it. No matter how hurt I had gotten, not mater how upset I get when I sees how things had turn out, I still unable to let things go and move on. Unable to totally remove someone from my facebook, msn nor contact list, much less from my life or past.


I still recalled back on those times. Those times when we hang out. Those endless chat. Those common likings. Doesn't anything remind you of anything?


I told myself to stay out, to not be bother about your life. But times and again, I couldn't stop myself. Times and again, I asked myself, why bother, when I'm longer exists in your life. Why bother, when you no longer regards me?



I may not remember at a certain point of time... But I would never let it go from my mind... When a journey was once shared between us... Have you forgotten the road that we once walk together?

Movie: Takers

Caught Takers with Deardear and his friends @ GV Marina Square...

Had read up about this movie before I decided to join deardear and his friends for the movie... So I kinda know what's going to happen etc in the movie...

Not a bad movie. Glad I had read up, even though it was pretty much a spoiler already... But without it, I think I may be slightly lost about what happening?

Not bad, not bad... Can consider watching

New Camera

Finally got my hands on my own digital camera!!! SAMSUNG ST600!

Bought it with my YOG pay ^^ ~S$550... 1 8gb memory card, 2 battery, 1 tripod, 1 cleaning solution, 1 pouch.

Decided to get this after a super duper long consideration! From Fujifilm, ended up being samsung dual screens... From PL150, become ST550... and now finally ST600!


Goodbye YOG pay after having to replace my lost mp3 and getting this camera...

If my handphone is Samsung as well... I would really be a samsung gal already (quote hidayah!)

Movie: The Legend of Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen

Caught The Legend of Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen with Deardear @ The Cathay

Pretty different style from the previous movie that Donnie Yen starring in... This one is kinda serious?

It's a good show though...

Minor Operation

Had a minor operation today to correct the right eye lower lid, two weeks after that operation. Local anesthetic this time round... And having it at the clinic instead...

*Shudders* Thinking back to the surgery at Mt A that day... Terrible experience due to the general anesthetic... Couldn't move at all when the doctor wake me immediately after the surgery to tell me that it went smoothly... Throat was stuck with phlegm... But I couldn't even cough to clear the throat...

The metallic smell that keep on lingering... Each cough causing me to throw up whatever is in my stomach... Even when there isn't any food in it! And due to this, I was stuck in the hospital until evening, even though the surgery was completed in the morning before 11am.

And thanks to that, I'm scare of anesthetic and operation! (as if I wasn't scare in the first place)


Didn't want to go for the minor operation, but mom made me do so. Just a day notice... Or should I say 12hour notice?

So much for there won't be pain when under anesthetic! I could feel where the doctor cut my lid, where he stitch it up! And it's hurt! Imagine a needle going through your skin and out, and that's not all, as it has to pull along the string!


I can't wait for everything to end. ARGH! 1st October removing stitches. I hope he can just removed all the stitches at one go instead of what he done previously! Removing the external ones, wait a week before removing the inner one...

Pissed off... There goes my pay again... Another month of pathetic pay =.=

Fate... is a funny thing

Just like what I had posted on my msn PM:

"Fate is a funny thing... You never know how things would turn out ultimately for you and somebody..."

Fate seems to be telling me, that things are out of our control at times, that situations ain't what we expect it to turn out to be. Things changes, so does humans as well as situations...

A lot of things had changed through this 1+year. Too many on related to relationship, especially some of the closer friendships.

There's a season for everything... There isn't a forever in anything... Especially for friendship... Even the closest friendship would drift apart...

Two incidents had shown me that letting time do its job would be better than to try to make things better. Rather than thinking things could be better by doing something for them and ignore your own feelings. Because, ultimately, they still going to be in their own mindset, thinking how much you are hurting them only.

At least, the distance was close up slightly with the other one. Unexpected, but it was really great chatting with her the other day... Wishing her well, and hopefully one day get to meet up again...

As for the other two... Leave it as such... I'm tired of trying to do something to improve or maintain the situation, when ultimately, the other party just can't be bother nor blame your for the unhappiness etc. Intruder? Spoil your happiness? Fine then, I leave, so stop blaming me when any other problem/unhappiness arise. Because I'm not even there anymore.



At least... I know, who are the friends who are truly there. And that is why I had posted in FB: " I don’t have to look for a true friend because if someone is true to me, they’ll just stay." I not staying for some anymore, because they doesn't even regards me as a friend to them.

An uncle had commented to monitor when I had commented that I'm lucky to have a few true/best friends around, and not just one/two only. Telling me that the truthful one have yet to appear and that's how life is.

But... Mine had appeared. Not just one or two. But a whole group of them. Situations since primary til now, I have seen who are the ones who are truthful, who are the ones who are sincere in the friendships. Even though most of these are peeps that I know online, but it's much more truer than any other friendship that I have.

Even though the longest is only seven years... But I know, there will be more years to come for this and the other relationships...


We shall see, what fate have for us in the future...

Movie: Inception

Caught Inception (FINALLY!) with Deardear @ GV J8 just now...

The concept is really cool. Indeed, after watching, you can't stop thinking about dreams and reality as well as if the ending is a dream or reality.

Dreams within dreams... And the time just extending...

Can you imagine growing old, but when you wake up, you're still your current age?


Definitely a must watch!

Movie: Blood Pledge

Caught Blood Pledge with Da, ShiPei, MeiHui, PeeYee & ZiYing @ AMKhub...

Thanks Radio 100.3 for the complimentary tickets!


It's a good movie. Though not really that scary (caught back by the loud sound effect at times though.) A really touching ghost story...

Sisterhood. Despite how much things had changed, she had choose to stand firm on this friendship with her friend. Protecting her, even after her death.

Movie: Despicable Me (3D)

Watch Despicable Me in 3D with Deardear @ AMKhub last Wednesday~

SUPER DUPER LOVE MINION!!!! KAWAII~ esp e lightstick that 1... haha... hug it, shake it and it light up! :P

definitely worth watching it in 3D... seriously, if I haf the choice, I would even choose to watch it in 4D!!!!

Friends?

Indeed, time proves everything.

I guess, this time, it truly being proven where I stand inside you. Simple birthday wish show much how you matter to a person.

I couldn't help wondering. Is that what you mean, when you had say 'Friends for life' or even when you use the term 'best friend'


Maybe everything had ended with a silent goodbye back to the meeting that we last had. A goodbye from you, that no one else ever acknowledge.




If that is the case. All the best to your future endeavor.


Trust me, August and September will be the time again to prove that I'm right. Because, it had happened before.



Sad to acknowledge that this is the ending of our journey. Whether each of us had done our part, I believe we know it in our heart. Whether you read this or not, I have no idea.

Movie: Toy Story 3

Finally Toy Story 3 is out ^^ watch wid deardear aft our work @ AMK hub @ midnight!!!
