A thousand clever lines unread on clever napkins

I absolutely detest people (not being specific here) who tell you to do what you love, but eventually choose the path you have to follow. What's up with that?
No one, absolutely, NO ONE should have a say in what YOU want to do and want to accomplish. I find it sad when people enter the local uni to do, i duno, some weird-ass course that doesnt even sound like a course. If it has always been your passion to specialise in jumping over a wall, and you take it only to end up in teaching, doesn't that say enough?
On a different note, i should start making friends with people who don't have a life and are awake at (timecheck) 4:31 am and can't sleep. And are willing to talk to me when im at my most hyper and emotional and riled up. I wish i could bake now. But if i did, the entire world would wake up.

And as always, you come to my rescue. At 5 am in the morning =)

Warning!! Do not watch paranormal activity if:
(a) you sleep with your partner, alone in the same house on the same bed
(b) you tend to hear/imagine weird noises in the middle of the night
(c) you think "how bad can a movie get?" and are too brave for anyone's liking

If you can relate to any one of the above, good luck. The movie $%^&s (sorry for being soo explicit, but i can't help it) with your mind i tell you. Ive not woken up this many times in the middle of the night hoping to see daylight. Never have i been not able to sleep after a scary movie, but like i said, this one *&^%s (sorry again) with your mind. Either that or im jus getting faint hearted as i age. I hope i get to sleep tonight.

On a much better note, HAPPY ADVANCED BIRTHDAY to TEO XIAO XUAN. we havent taken a photo together in ages and we need to take one soon. Though we may not be meeting on your birthday, i hope you have an awesome one while mugging for exams. Haha!

Referring to a friend's blog entry and a conversation i had last night with another friend, its crazy how dramatically our body changes and how long our systems take to recover as we grow older. Running on 3 hours of sleep in JC was deemed as normal and it took prob a short nap in the afternoon to recover (if you could afford the time) else ur body just found a way to recover with what little rest you took.
Now, 5 hours of sleep makes me cranky in the morning, i get splitting headaches and to top it all of, a one-sided bodyache coupled with stomach discomfort. And an afternoon nap doesnt make it any better. WOoo! i LOve growing up.

Girls who take photos from only one angle showing only one side of their face irk me. Haowen Chow needs to update his blog and samantha liow please have a safe trip to HK tomorrow.

And the reason to why ive been findin it soo hard to blog is cos i can never find a proper ending to them. JUst like this...

WooHooo! Finally i did it! I sat my ass down and searched my ass off for a new blogskin, which i am for once, in a gazillion years, satisfied with. Double woohoo!
Change is good. And it is about time we see some changes =)

I feel that some people tend to be too hard on themselves. They fail to realise that you don't always have to be the smartest or the slimmest or the fastest or the richest to have achieved something in life. Sometimes we tend to overlook what we already have in the process of wanting to achieve greater things. It's such a vicious cycle, you dream of entering the university, and when u do, u dream of entering harvard, and when you're in harvard, you dream of being the creme de la creme, and when you're out of uni, you dream of being a millionaire and when you do, you want to be a multi-millionaire....you get the point. so you see, its a cycle that never ends. You just don't get satisfaction out of life, ever. I'm not saying that we should have small dreams and be satisfied with anything and everything. It's knowing what you want and being able to achieve what's within your means. Yes, sometimes we surprise ourselves and go beyond what is expected of us, may be out of luck or sheer hardwork. But we also have to realise that in life there will always be people who do better than us and people who don't. Whatever it is, we have to remember to always be grounded, to know what we already have, to be grateful for what we've already got and to love and live life, proper with absolutely no regrets.

And to show how absolutely satisfied i am:

So to answer all your doubts, yes I'm in love with this boy Abdul Shahid Bin Zakaria and yes, we're gonna be sticking together for a long, long time.

To a really near and dear friend:
While i was in the bus today, I got reminded of that time, when we were in bus no. 5 and you told me that you pressed the handicap "bus stopping" button by accident, and how the ramp opened up and you just stood there in embarrassment. I laughed to myself and got reminded of all those bus rides we took, when we would sit and laugh at the stupidest things. How you would msg me on a sunday night and ask "what's for homework?"
I miss you and ive missed you. Just the other day, as we lay side by side listening to the ocean, waiting for our food, i couldnt help but remember the stupidest lamest things i would call and talk to you about. I do know its not easy talking to someone you dont speak to often nowadays, but i always feel right when i am talking to you. everything i feel just comes out, unknowingly. You have been my rock, my guide, my happiness when im down and you have always made things right. You have always been there no matter what ive said or done and i really am grateful for that and i want you to know that you will always be a very special friend to me, Priyalatha Kurusamy.

What does a relationship encapsulate?
We've heard of relationships that consist of constant bickerings, jealousy, insecurity and distrust. We've seen relationships that lack communication and understanding.
Relationships are easy to judge, from a third party's point of view, and i admit, ive been a judge of many; relationships that my friends were/are involved in, couples that i see on the streets, heck, even those in tv dramas. It's easy to judge and advice, but having been on both sides of the fence, i can now say, its easier said than done.
I have had such a warped view on relationships, to the point where i was left asking myself at the beginning of the year, what do i REALLY want?
I have since come to realise what a relationship SHOULD rightfully encapsulate.
A relationship, to me, is not something that you go into for the sake of having someone. Its something that is well thought out and maybe even planned with your partner even before you decide to become exclusive. It is something that does not hinder your growth as an individual, but in fact, it should be a driving force for you to want to achieve more in life. You should never feel that you're trying to be something that you're not. A relationship should allow you to still do the things that you've always been doing as an individual and still have the time to do things together as a couple. You should always be able to speak your mind and heart out, no matter how embarrassing the issue may be. A relationship should not restrict you, it should be FUN; However, you should also be able to sit down as a couple to discuss serious issues. It's wanting to spend every minute of the day together, but you know you can't. It is also about accepting your differences and coming to a compromise. A relationship should be healthy, in ever sense. A relationship, most importantly, should make you know what it is to be loved, unconditionally and genuinely, by someone you have absolutely no blood ties with.
There's soo much more to say about how a relationship should be, but i guess this is what i can conjure up for the time being, or what comes to me when i think about how it is. =)
Friendships, on the other hand, should always be kept close to your heart. Ive had a really good 2 weeks meeting up with my cousin/s, RPSF and sam n rit, that i feel extremely happy and contented.
And you'll realise that all you need is love.

A few days back, i had this really bad urge to watch a movie. I dont know what got into me, but if you know me, im not exactly an avid movie goer. I could go w/o watching a movie for months, maybe even a year. But anyway, i did feel like it and chanced upon a movie, "Coco avant Chanel" or better known as "Coco before Chanel". I was intrigued by it, but didnt think much of it till i was asked " you mean Coco (the brand) came before Chanel?" Which made me want to delve more into finding out about: Coco Chanel.

We all know that Chanel is probably one of the most recognised brands in the haute couture fashion industry. Chanel was first started by a woman named Gabrielle Bonheur "Coco" Chanel who was a tailor. She had a deep interest in fashion and clothing and decided to venture into it. After a failed attempt she managed to build herself back up and began to establish herself and her brand. What intrigues me bout this woman is that she managed to make something out of nothing with just her passion in fashion and talent in tailoring. I guess she was also lucky to have financial backing from the people in her life. She changed how women dressed, changed their mindset on the way they portray themselves, made them realise that it was for themselves that they were dressing for and not the men they were with. She made cheap materials look expensive. As of all legendary icons, she did have her fair share of controversy and scandals. But we are all human and humans err. For a woman of her era to have established herself and her brand to what it is today, we really have to take our hats off to her. Coco Chanel pursued her passion and never gave up no matter how tough circumstances were, how even when a whole population of people, namely the parisians, were against her and her business when they heard rumors of her having an affair with a Nazi spy, she never gave up. Her involvement with the germans during the second world war still leaves many people skeptical about her. I do believe there is a lot more to this woman, with regards to the war, and i would love to delve into it. But for now, im gonna pay tribute to her hardwork and her rise from her humble beginnings.

"Let my legend make its way in life" - Coco Chanel

For being a fashion legend that will live for a very very long time.
