a toast worth a boast

 To the ones I hold dear in my heart. soul. and mind

There is nothing I enjoy more in life than the company of those special few.

That special group of people in your life who understand your quirks and charms.

There is never judgement. Occasionally there may be a disapproving stare, but always with support

When you share a language, complete with code names/secret signals that no one else understands

You can't stay angry.upset with them for too long because you know their friendship is worth it

The best nights are inside with bad food, even worse movies and cringe-worthy moments

You know that you will never be able to replace any of them. ever

There is never a feeling of needing to impress them.

The ones that get all your "jokes".

Where more is always more.

 

thanku my lovelies.

you know who

you are

sometime soon...

i really really hope to find my camera's transfer cable.

CATS!

I forgot to mention in my last post that I went to Cats on Tuesday night, I think it deserves a post of its own anyway. The set was amazing along with everything else. The first act was a bit slow imo, but the second act was beautiful. I loved how interactive the "cats" were, and in intermission and at the end of the show they wandered around the audience like cats. It was actually really cute and I had one nuzzle me. I really wanted to pet it but for some odd reason I thought it might bite my hand?! I really regret not taking pix with them :C The obvious crowd and Emi's favourite Rum Tum Tugger also made his way to us when Emi motioned him over, only to have him swish his tail in Sona's face... oh dear :s
I loved Gus, the slightly senile theatrical cat
It was very different to the Chicago musical I went to, but I did highly enjoy them both :]

Here's one of my favourite moments..



....so good...A beautiful moment that pulled at the heartstrings. We obviously did not have Elaine Page performing, but it was still pretty darn amazing :]

excuses.

so I'm sure you can see I haven't been updating.
Please feel free to choose one or more options from below to explain my AWOL...

a. I've been studying too much
b. been lazzzzy
c. my dog ate it
d. aliens took over my brain and have only recently departed
e. I was busy conquering the world
f. too busy shopping my heart out

however reading sandra's blog and perhaps a bit of procastination has made me want to get back into the swing of things...Including uploading more than 3 months worth of pictures...hmm. may put that off for a little longer. . . .

till next time
love

going in for the kill

exciting news! I received my La Roux tickets today :D




*squeeee

I cannot express my utter delight + excitement in words... so here's a short clip that should do the trick....

breaks my heart...

every damn time I see this post secret.


Not sure why but this particular one tears me up inside like no other secret I've come across...

I sincerely hope that the author has found peace...

love.

animals&insects

the images are strong
impulses are strong
and logic will break your heart forever
be brave



love love love

a change of heart

so I've just created a new blog on cyberspace to destroy muahahaha

this one will still be running with occasional posts on my everyday doings, whilst the LJ one will just be a about materialistic adorations and such. basically I just wanted a change...so enjoy two dosages of me! yay or nay :D

It's still in its early developments, so it's probably only after exams that it'll be up and running 100%

anyways back to studying :D

love you all

It's always just on the horizon
So my hopes rise and fall
You know me well
But I don't know you at all
No I don't know you at all

Life never works out the way you want. It's a fact we should learn to deal with. Cynical or realist?

So my friendemy Insomnia has decided to pay me unexpected visit after a long period on unexplained absence...hope you'll get the hint when my eyes start to glaze over, yet somehow I doubt you will.
<3

the gift of friendship.

Fun at maddehs.             

"gaia" outings are few and far between now that Dien lives in woop woop. So it was lovely to have our very typical  dim sum and the usual dishes... Ahh familiarity... gotta love it =D

After dim sum, our bellies and the heat decided for us it was time to go home. We headed back to Maddehs to eat and have long chit chats, whilst opening up our goody bags. I love it how Dien acted so suprised about the the present when he picked out the gift and the wrapping.. lol classic. I also learnt that night that Sona and Dien are epic phails on the yoyo =S

l-r Maddeh, Dien and Sonascaryface. Dien attempting to yoyo, Me and maddeeeeh

On the menu was fried rice, pasta bake, homemade chicken and corn soup, LAMBCHOPS [*drool], fetta and pumpkin quiches [to die for], potato salad, and marinated chicken that was so uber soft brownies, raspberry cheesecakes with oreos at the bottom and apple slices

Not very traditional, but yumminess still. Thank you pingy for filling our bellies =D On another cooking note, Tom treated us to a lovely dinner yesterday.  Manuel has much to learn... lol jk Manuel is a pretty good cook =D Thanks to Hong for his fresh fresh fruit & vegies

I TOLD HIM LIKE A MONTH BACK WE SHOULD DO IT... cos I knew this would happen... what do I get "No... don't be silly... Christmas is ages ago... let's do it next time I'm back... Why do we have to go now... so many kids... BLAH BLAH BLAH"...

summer bonding.

Lately I've been really busy... and if I'm not occupied with something, I'm too tired to really do anything. So after helping out at parent's shop, I decided to share the afternoon with my favourite dog in the whole world plus the sun.I had fun wandering around the backyard, taking quick snaps of my beloved whilst soaking in the summer rays... with sunscreen course ;P

 Pure bliss... now excuuuuse me I need a shower... Feeling itchy *sad face... I wasn't made for outdoors =[

               

                                                 

 ciao bellas.

love is all around

Happy birthDAY to my almighty father.

So we had our "cousins" [not really... but still family just the same] from Singapore for 6 days. It was awesome, I enjoyed their company and I hope they enjoyed our humble city. They did more things in 6 days in Perth than I've done in my 19 years here... quite sad when you think about it...

They went to Rottnest, Lancelin, Swan Valley, snorkelling, stayed overnight at a farm.....

Anyways without further delay...

 here is my dad with the rest of the familia. Would have been more pix if my sister wasn't such a dodgy photographer =S

lovejoo daddy

this modern love.*

'where the city meets the sea' the getaway plan

November 30th was possibly the most beautiful. perfect day to have an outdoor concert. With not a cloud in sight and a blue sky that seemed to stretch to each ends of the horizon, the weather could not have gotten any better.

The four of us [Sona, Dien, Jenny and myself] had dimsum much to Dien's dismay. BUT IT WAS DEELISHOUS... damn those squid tenacles were beautiful... During the yumminess of Dimsum, it was discovered that Dien had quite the collection of Singstar volumes. So we ventured to his new place near Beaufort St [ great location for shopping btw Dien! ], and timed ourselves for an hour. CAN NOT WAIT TO PLAY AGAIN!! Ting Tings were so fun to do... Sona was overjoyed to see Disney Singstar...however no one but Dien could compete with her impossibly high voice.lol. 

Belvoir Park was hoooge. so cool though... [will add pics when Dien sends them]. We decided to sacrifice front row standings for Merch. . . bad decision that I will explain later on.*sad face

I got a pretty snazzy Bloc Party tee...With an estimate of 10,000 concert goers, it was set to be quite a night. 

Opening up the show was Mission Complete [?].... They were pretty decent... and they better have been, to open up for Bloc Party =O... Anyways Dien and Sona became engrossed with the lanky boy in the background...we had all these theories including "band-aid"...l o l

Then it was time for Van She... Now at the time I hadn't really heard of any of their stuff... and their performance was not all that impressive.. BUT daaayam. the drummer was hot. Tomek Archer... now is that just not the most awesome name or what? After further listening post-concert, I am quite enjoying their music though. 

It was only after Van She's performance we found out lanky boy's real use. He was the sound check guy =S. Jenny then goes "OMG guys... I think I know him! I think he went to my school!"... and that's when the obsession started....lol This was also when the crowd started ,getting a tad rowdy ... but the guys in front of us were lovely. IT WAS THAT STUPID BITCH ERIN!! YEAH YOU SHORT SHIT! I don't care how short you are bitch... I waited way longer for you and I don't give a crap if you came from bunbury... should have lined up earlier then! She kept flinging her feral hair onto my back so I retaliated with jabs to her back that kept coming into contact "accidently" with me. yeah immature but it felt good. =] The poor girls behind us were getting harrassed by huge guys to let them in front... which was ridiculous. These girls were tiny and even if they let the guys in ... their line of vision would be no different. There was this one feral guy that I swear was on something besides alcohol, the things he said were a bit wtf. lol

Anyways the intermission between Van She and Bloc Party was T-E-R-R-I-B-L-E!~... I've been to other concerts... and by far this was the worst one yet. We decided to make the sacrifice of our awesomeness spot [4 people front stage] for the safety of our organs. Sona came out missing two thongs [TOLD HER NOT TO WEAR THONGS =S] and a nesty cut on her foot. We watched the rest of the concert from a comfortable distance .. and it was awesome. The energy of the crowd plus the pumping beats ... perfect. All the songs I wanted to hear were played so I was a very happy girl. Helicopter was definitely the highlight for me...

Afterwards... sitting on our little grass hill we saw lanky boy walk pass. Jenny the courageous decided to scream out "james"... He started looking around only to be faced with four sets of eyes on him. *whacks head embarrassing much? lol. But yeah guess we know it is her classmate, not that I cared.. he was U-G-L-Y...but I'm sure if Sona or Dien reads this... they'll make some snooty little comment to disagree lol 

We went back to Dien's to disinfect Sona's foot and I must say that was one of the highlights of the night. Watching Sona disinfect her foot while trying to hold in the pain to not wake up the other housemates...gold. After a midnight snack at Maccas, we all decided upon some well needed rest... I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say I slept like a log that night...

I WANT MORE OUTDOOR CONCERTS!!!

ciao bellas

a gathering of WUV

'better than heaven' bloc party

After many months and even years for some a highschool gathering was held at Korean Bbq restaurant Coran. A few were missing [wini and sona] but was still a fantastic night of chit chat over steaming yumminess and deelishous jelly... so so deelishous. Andy and Ron decided to waste this jelly by bbqing it, feral. lol Was also a chance to see what everyone was up to and meet siginificant others. Mine was MIA due to work tm but it was lovely to finally meet Andy's much hyped [Andy's hype] Eve... [who was worth the hype I must say lol] and Joey's boyfriend Kevin.

The guys... [mainly just chee i suspect] getting too much meat and wanting to avoid the wastage fee decided to hide pieces of meat everywhere. I laugh at the thought of the waitress finding meat in between the plates and uncooked meat in the actual cooker. =D

In other news of happiness.... my A.V max bangle arrived... I took ages deciding which one to get. I think I made a grand decision getting the black enamel bangle with white text of "sex.love.rock & roll".... LOVE IT... made my day oh so much brighter.

My new bangle....which i don't really need... but really wanted =[

Me and Andy's lovely girlfriend Eve... and our super fobby poses !

I look like a giant... mainly because I am the only one wearing heels =[

l-r [joey, kayee, narelle,me]

Chee eating a most certainly burnt piece of bacon.... mmm crispiness?

Ron with his barbequed jelly delicacy

to many nights of joy!

love.peace

late nights + micra + meekathara = not good

'missed the boat' modest mouse

FREEEDOM..tastes ever so sweet... not really if you consider getting up at about 6:40am every day sweet..=S But I'm sure I'll appreciate it when I'm shopping in HK.

Oooh.. in other news Myer is apparently getting new brands...

*Steve Madden shoes... (YAYAYAY!!)

*Givenchy and Pucci Sunnies

*MCQ by Alexander Mcqueen... Very excioted about this one!

*Vivienne Westwood (red label) 

yeah

This holiday I have grand plans. Plans I would like to see turn into something, but only time will tell...(which means... nothing is ever gonna happen to them lol)

Here are the list of things I'd like to do..

*Learn to sew

 -fix dotti blouse, get bardot blouse altered

*Learn to cook a bit (Just a few more recipes, not getting overly ambitious)

*clean out unwanted junk on mac

*start going on more exercises

*HAIRCUT

*GET MY LICENCE... this one is getting a bit ridiculous now =[

*spend some alone time with myself... sounds really sad... but I've grown quite fond of my own company and have missed it recently =[

So last night we went on a little *ahem journey. Sona wanted to know where the theatre was before Sunday (*woopwoop for Bloc Party).... and let's just say at least we know where it is now. LOL. Seriously picture this... pitch black night with rain pouring down, Sona panicking she has no idea where she is and Eric (OUR NAVIGATOR) "thinking" we are on the right track ... all in a little Micra... I was seriously half expecting to end up in Meekathara or the car breaking down and a scene occurring similar to Wolf Creek lol. Twas a fun night though...one I probably don't want to go through again for a while if I had a choice.... 

After all that excitement, we headed to The Moon and then Maccas for a well deserved pit stop. Around roughly 20minutes of arriving home, I get a call from a panicked Sona. Funnily enough Sona forgot her house keys and was in a desperate attempt trying to wake her dad up. After half an hour she gave up and we made a sign for her dad to tell him she was at my house. WHAT A TASK IT WAS! Anyone who has had to weave paper through a security mesh door will understand. 

Looking forward to endless sunny days, big dinners with good friends, days full of laughter and NO UNI ESPECIALLY!... TO THE SUMMER DAYS!

ciao bellas.
