. Will be doing my own little 'overhead' on the train:

Girl 1 (holding an iphone): I want to get all the contacts from my sim card, how would I do that?
Girl 2: You go into settings, and you import the contacts, i think.
Girl 1: Oh ok. See this here, how it says, 'import sim contacts'...what does import mean? Oh god, this is so complicated, my aunt usually does this all for me, since she is professional at this and all.

I don't want to live on this planet anymore. That and that girl should just give her iPhone to a more deserving person.

. As much as I look forward to wearing shorts for the upcoming summer, i've managed to find yet another reason why I hate the warm season.

Why are all the heels of the sandals/strappy shoes so goddamn high? I already have a pair of flat ones, need ones that gives me a little height, not 13cm.

GAHHHHH

. Sometimes, i love my job. I mean, how often do you get to chat to a super nice British guy with light lilac coloured hair?

. So i haven't been here for a long while now....life happened.

Oh who am i kidding, what life. lol.

September in my calendar has always been the busiest, mainly due to the fact that a lot of my friends' parents have coordinated.......certain efforts, making all of our birthdays fall on the 9th month of the year.

Things that has happened since i've last blogged:

. landed a summer internship with an accounting firm (oh how unpredictable for an asian)
. the weather has gotten warmer, as much as i hate sunny days, i quite like being able to wear shorts
. discovered that emotion-driven purchases can sometimes be a good thing (mostly bad, of course. my wallet is crying out in distress)
. watched the epic end to to HP saga. loved it.
. shed a tear over the disbanding of AFI (yes, don't be so surprised, imma fan4lyf), only to discovered a hacker leaked the false statement
. rediscovered my fondness for all things chocolate
. really need a new phone, but due to my financial state (after all the 21st birthdays.....), i will have to be stuck with my dying N97 for a month or two more
. blasting Adele non-stop
. discovered that one can be too nice to someone
. Bel went to US of A, whom i miss a lot :(
. thankful for K being there for me when i needed her the most
. discovered that the peanut butter chocolate crush drink at Bay Vista is wayyyyy too heavy, even for the PB fanatic that i am
. Bay Vista - awesome dessert place to have a long chat with friends at night
. shared an amazing 21st with the beautiful J
. cried my heart out

And the silence, it became so very clear

That you had long ago disappeared

I cursed myself for being surprised

That this didn't play like it did in my mind

All the way from San Francisco

As I chased the end of your road

'Cause I've still got miles to go

And i want to know my fate

If I keep up this way

And it's hard to want to stay awake

. Uni break this time around has been relaxing. Went to Melbourne for a couple of nights (would've described the trip in a more positive light if I didn't get caught up in the whole Tiger airline-turned-Jetstar-nightmare-saga).

. Caught up with a few of my closest friends. Was really good to sit down and have a nice chat with those that I haven't been able to catch up with during the semester. And looking forward to Fri's brunch, M.

. Dabbled into the world of lipstick. I now feel a little bit more mature for some reason.

La la la la la la
Everyday I fight for
All my future somethings
A thousand little wars
I have to choose between
I could spend a lifetime
Earning things that I don't need
But that's like chasing rainbows
And coming home empty
And if you strip me,
Strip it all away
If you strip me,
What would you find
If you strip me,
Strip it all away
I'll be alright

Take what you want
Steal my pride
Build me up
Or cut me down to size
Shut me out
But I'll just scream
I'm only one voice in a million
but you aint taking that from me
Oh oh no you aint taking that from me

I dont need a microphone, yeah,
To say what I been thinking
My heart is like a loudspeaker
Thats always on eleven
And if you strip me,
Strip it all away
If you strip me,
What would you find

If you strip me,
Strip it all away
I'm still the same

Take what you want
Steal my pride
Build me up
Or cut me down to size
Shut me out
But I'll just scream
I'm only one voice in a million
but you aint taking that from me
Oh oh no you aint taking that from me

'cuz when it all boils down
At the end of the day
It's what you do and say
That makes you who you are
Makes you think about it,
Think about it
Doesn't it
Sometimes all it takes is one voice

Take what you want
Steal my pride
Build me up
Or cut me down to size
Shut me out
But I'll just scream
Im only one voice in a million
but you aint taking that from me
Oh oh no you aint taking that from me

- Adele

Right under my feet is air made of bricks
It pulls me down turns me weak for you
I find myself repeatin' like a broken tune
And i'm forever excusin' your intentions

Then I give in to my pretendings
Which forgive you each time
Without me knowing
They melt my heart to stone

And I hear your words that i made up
You say my name like there could be an us
I best tidy up my head, I'm the only one in love
I'm the only one in love

Each and every time I turn around to leave
I feel my heart begin to burst and bleed
So desperately I try to link it with my head
But instead I fall back to my knees

As you tear away right through me
I forgive you once again
Without me knowin'
You've burnt my heart to stone

And I hear your words that i made up

You say my name like there could be an us

I best tidy up my head, I'm the only one in love

I'm the only one in love

Why do you steal my hand

Whenever I'm standin' my own ground?

You build me up and leave me there

I hear your words you made up

So I say your name like there could be an us

I best tidy up my head, I'm the only one in love

I'm the only one in love

Nothing much happened to me. New year, thought i would have a new job by now. But then i realised that i just can't be bothered with the whole interview process again, so i'm prolly going to be stuck at where i am for the next couple of months at least.

Random thoughts...

. Pie Face sells decent chocolate chip cookies. Though i was quite hungry at the time, so it might actually be just average

. Black Swan, in my opinion is a really good movie, and i do hope it would win some oscars tomorrow, but it wasn't brilliant? I don't know....the movie just didn't....make me go....OMGAWESOMEMOVIE

. what is with the schizophrenic Sydney weather

. Over the holidays, i have fully embraced online shopping, mainly due to the fact that i am so lazy i do not feel like moving away from the computer sometimes

. hair. go lighter or darker? my roots have started to deceive people as scrunchies

. bring on the 21st seasonnnnnnn. attended my very first one earlier this month, though it was so far that even whoop whoop hasn't even heard of it, it was so much fun. love you, R.

. love having very deep and meaningful conversations during work when it was dead-quiet

. taught me that strenuous physical activities such as kayaking and snorkeling should be scheduled towards the last couple of days of the holiday
. led me to discover my natural ability to tan. no jokes, went two shades darker with just 4 hours in the sun. sounds great to those who wants to tan. to me, it's the worst thing that can possibly happen to me. 8 years of hardwork, literally sizzled away in a mere 4 hours
. re-strengthened my belief that the sun is evil
. P = awesome cook
. acquired a pair of slightly toned, slightly sunburnt arms

Weather is schizophrenic in Sydney, was so windy and cold i nearly thought it was winter. But the parade was quite fun, though the getting-home (or just getting-out-of-george-st) part wasn't so fun. M took heaps of pictures, my phone was dying, so i didn't want to use its dying life on taking photos.

Oh, happy belated chinese new year, everyone :D! Hope everyone has eaten awesome food, received red pockets, and may the new year be bigger and better than the last.

. I have no idea why, but i think it was last week, when the movie Pride and Prejudice was on tv, i fell in love with it all of a sudden.

So much so that i went out the next day, bought the dvd (for $9.99, on sale :)) and watched it 4 consecutive times that day and have changed my computer wallpaper.

. Bored out of my mind at home. Thought my holidays are going to be more busy, more glamourous, more productive, just......more....somehow

Thought sprang into my mind. Go to the library and keep myself occupied with a mountain of books.

Thank god i checked online, local library is closed due to the fact that the seemingly clean carpet that they have there needs replacing. So there goes that attempt for a more productive day.

D came to my rescue :) and now i have something to do tomorrow.

. Spent my nye with my mummy, being the good daughter that i was, didn't want her to spend it by herself. So it was a quiet affair, though we could spot the firework from our balcony, we ended up having to watch it on our tv, as the smoke kind of covered most of the glittery explosion in the sky.

And then i was having a quiet time contemplating/having a brain fart/day/nightdreaming and then this small light streaked across the sky. Shooting star (and now now, i was not drunk, so i wasn't seeing things. i'm 100% sure it was one).

Couldn't think of a better way to start 2011.

. Why am i surrounded by gym freaks? My sister goes when she's at work, my friends every week, my workmate/s (especially one freak, S) goes more than once a day. But i think her goal is slightly unhealthy. When asked why she goes so many times, she replies 'I don't want to be just skinny, i'm aiming for an anorexic physique .'
Hmm.
I feel like i should do something about my pathetic (and that's just putting it lightly, not to hurt my own feelings too much) cardio levels.

But then with laser skirmish coming up tomorrow and paintball early month, in my head, that would be my exercise quota filled for another 2 months.

. Having nothing to do in the holidays besides working every once in a while and eating/sleeping have allowed me to watch things on tv that i normally would not have, if i had more of what people these days called...a life.

So i watched the afternoon edition of nine news and (my little legal nerd self decided to appear) when the story about how the latest James Hardie appeal has been reversed by a decision in the Supreme Court, i thought to myself (kind of embarassed of myself, now that i think about it) people next year doing that same legal course will have more to write about. And i got a little angry at the decision to let the directors of James Hardie off the hook.

I am that sad. Yes.

But then my hunger made me lose interest in the (momentary) anger i had harbored for the issue.

Just did a whole lot of chillin'.

Was on the train today after work, wanted to lean closer to the man sitting next to me, and watch Inception together on his itouch. He looked so into it, and i couldn't bear (but had to anyway) to ask him to move for me when it was my stop.

Even though i haven't met you for long, i feel like i've known you for years. Cheesy, but so so accurate. You've opened my eyes and made me realise that i am not wrong for feeling the way i have been feeling. I'm pretty sure you don't even realise this, but i've told you more about myself than those i've known for years longer.

And to answer your question, no, i'm not sick of you yet. Please don't kick me if i end up ditching you this week.

. So me, along with other co-workers were asked to make our own personal career goals for the next 6 months. All the younger staff, including myself, all looked at each other, and said with our eyes 'get the fuck out of here'. But, being the talented bullshitters that we are, we came up with very convincing 'career goals'. It's funny how we have to do these goal-setting exercises at work for the sake of doing them, just because someone high up thinks that by doing them would somehow instill intrinsic motivation into our work. Yeah, right.

Or it's just me refusing to let it take effect on me. Meh.

7 ways facebook can show you that he is just not that into you

When I was reading this article I took it as a satirical/humorous piece that comments on how some people place so much importance on fb statuses these days in relationships. But then I got to the end and I read the comment, and then I thought, so people actually think that changing fb status is amongst one of the must-do things that is incorporated into relationships nowadays...?

Some people takes fb wayy too seriously sometimes.
