Saturday High Tea with my good ole Cirque De Soleil Colleague of 2 years ago!

Toast @ Taka, quietly tucked away behind all the atas shops. it serves very delicious cupcakes! (mine's Nutella coated) and nice Mango Lassi Shakes.

the crazy flounder JACKIE!
me and my very sinful decadence Nutella cupcake & Mango Lassi. the textiles are nice too, it's very aeronautical (don't ask) and very bathroom tiles @ the same time.

i hope to get into SMU with ya too jacq! but by then you'll be graduating.

Vintage meets Boho.

spreading wings and words

my weekend.. quite eventful i suppose.. met up with Uncle Alan for tea on saturday afternoon accompanied with Killiney's famous curry puffs, or meeting up with Debbie for a quick lunch @ Marina Sq this afternoon.

gah, so many things to write about, to voice, to express.. but the countdown to booking in has severely limited myself to word constipation.

and a tied up throat with words being accumulated at the neck. it's suffocating.

actually, everything is, we all come to a point where a chapter closes and things are left behind.

and sometimes when you open a new chapter in your life, you realise, it's going through the motion once again.

the old has been made new
the grave-going has been made young
the timid has been made weak
the strong has been made tough

and deja vu repeats itself once again

sometimes, when you lack sleep, you technically become depressed.

the key word is technically.

they came over earlier to cut the cake and making frozen watermelon martinis & lychee shockers using the good ole blender! plus, the Ben&Jerry cake i ordered was tasty. pity my bad time management that caused us to rush to the club earlier.

ahh, 2007's loot, excluding TSBF Leon & Kelly Jie's EH Cap that i just recevied last night. not bad aye! :) thanks alot all.

say goodbye to my dirty white walls and cluttered belongings.

Sunday had a chest so thick

so i'm stuck at home supervising the painting of the other rooms of the house, which PS: mine is totally LIME GREEN :)

so yes, a boring sunday with so much clearing up to do simultaneously while doing an eagle eye onto the workers ensuring the white coat of paint is immaculately placed.

yes, the sarcasm is very thick.

ohwells. at least i got a nice room colour and it's time to do some heavy clearing up and cleaning, but thanks to the wonderous lifestyle that is the Tekong chalet, i am left with minimal hours to clean and clear.

i'd love to write so much about camp, but SAF forbids me to.

post-party afterthought

the party was a blast somewhat.

i'm pretty much speechless now that i think back. i don't know whether that's a good thing or not.

so happy 20th to me!

thank you for growing up all these years, all one-fifth of a century old.
thank you for going through a breakup and holding in some of your emotions back.
thank you for moving past failures and picking yourself up.
thank you for coming out of the passive shell and be a leader.
thank you for enduring pain cause tough times don't last, tough men do.
thank you for knowing where your true friends are
thank you for learning things you'd never thought you'd learn
thank you for being a klutz at times cause you can only laugh at yourself in this lifetime
thank you for crying when you're down, you felt better after
thank you for laughing that unique laugh, that extinguishes any sorrow from others
thank you for coping with the unbearable pain of losing a member of the family, it made you stronger
thank you for bearing the grievances of others, patience developed from there
thank you for expecting less from others, they're bound to disappoint you someday
thank you for thinking alot, dreams, visions and ideas sprung forth from there
thank you for gossiping, it's therapeutic
thank you for eating, food for the soul and comforting to the heart
thank you for slimming down, it made you hotter
thank you for worrying, it makes Murphy's law more bearable.
thank you for identifying yourself as the unique one that everyone celebrates on 11th august (and a minor few that laments)

presents photos people and pictures are gonna be up next friday. thank you all for the presents and wellwishes. i know the theme was hard, but i'm glad you guys dressed up anyway (:

11th August 2007

the big two zero.

Liquor!

Hello Mr Bols and welcome to the liquor family. you may be the most different from the Absoluts, but you'll make a great neighbour. and better yet, you'll be the next one used this saturday (: surprise.

so the alone time was good. no conversations with anyone (well, except bumping into Eliza Gan Yingying at orchard) just aimlessly walking around Raffles City.

which FYI, boy was Singapore having a big period. Red was EVERYWHERE in all shades and hues.

yeah, the alone time was good (like i said) i smiled to myself at times. just grateful to have this time to rethink and reflect.

boy i really do cherish civilian life. well, at least i bought some stuff to surprise the boys back at camp. ORION 4 Section 2 :D afterall, August is the time for birthdays (not _just_ mine)

***

in 2 days, gawd! i'm so excited! i really can't wait for everyone to have a good time. it's so weird, i rarely throw parties (well only on a rare annual basis), heck, actually the last time i threw a party was in sec 3.

but i guess, when you're in the army, everyday outside of camp is a good time to celebrate! i hope everyone has a good time.

and i hope i don't get wasted. lol.
