My Milestones

Almost August

Four more months to Subang, KL, PJ and all that jazz and more. :) Read on Twitter that the girls were dancing it up in Hennesy Artistry tonight. Really wished I was there, but of course I know we'll get the chance in December.

Meldee's 2nd engagement party to be planned once my exams are over. Woot!

Feeling better that home is another month closer. July has not been the best of months this year. Although I do get lil messages of comfort and amusement every now and then which make me give a hoot of laughter and a smile which warms my heart. Shows how much a lil' bit of encouragement does to oneself.

Oh, and I swear everyone should just get a Blackberry. The BB Messenger is the best thing that has ever walked the planet. :) Another Dahling is in constant reach now - Miss Ang. :)

Did you get my reply? Lol. You sent that 'slender' msg twice btw. Haha.

Lulls

Its one of those days again.

The question I asked myself today was: What do I really want out of life?

I find it really strange how people perceive me to be the same person they think I was 3 or 4 years ago, or even a year ago.

Truth is, I'm not.

Some friends think I'm gonna go home for good someday. Will I? I don't know. Will I stay here? I don't know.

There was a point in my life where I thought my career would lead me.

Now it isn't a career, and I know what it is...
And Carrie from SATC says it all, "I am someone who is looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't-live-without-each-other love"

Maybe I'm a fool but I'm a smart fool. And I keep asking for guidance everyday.

Sulwyn's return to London

So last weekend was still a blast despite the fact that dinner took 3 hours long and I sat in the smelliest cinema ever.

The summary of it:

Brunch at Les Providores with Sulwyn.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince at the smelliest cinema imaginable ever. >.< Disgusting. I kept taking out my perfume to disguise the smell.

Dinner at Atheanaeum where the service was horrendous this time around. Boos. :(

But dancing it up filled with champagne and rum with the girls at Mahiki was fabulous. :D
Good music fueled with giggly us. Plus the fact that I could finally try out my new LBD which I bought so long ago.

At dinner.

Later at Mahiki in Mayfair.

Fab music and drinks with great company makes the night.

Above all these...

Its funny how God still speaks to me in His own way. I take comfort in these short passages that I read at night, in the solitude of my room.

When I was troubled in mind and worrying last week, he gave me another part of scripture - which evidently told me not to worry for He has mapped out life for us.

Tonight, I was given this passage. It became famous after its appearance in the movie "A Walk To Remember." I think a lot of people wanted this verse read at their wedding too after watching the movie. Whats even funnier is that this verse even came up in conversation today.

It holds a deeper meaning, really.

1 Corinthians 13
1 If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn�t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God�s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn�t love others, I would be nothing. 3 If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it;but if I didn�t love others, I would have gained nothing.

4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

8 Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever! 9 Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! 10 But when full understanding comes, these partial things will become useless.

11 When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. 12 Now we see things imperfectly as in a cloudy mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.

13 Three things will last forever�faith, hope, and love�and the greatest of these is love.

I'm glad that even after all this time, I still have faith and hope. :)

I guess its not all doom and gloom

Rainy mornings make you want to lay in bed for so much longer. It would definitely be better with someone next to me. Hehee.
Struggling between finding time to hit the gym and/or hitting my books instead.

Am miffed that I will be missing Mel's official engagement party back home. But am uber excited to be able to organise Party number 2 in December! Whee!

I really love weddings. Am also excited about the Warwick reunion that we shall have in December at another wedding.

Today, I saw my work planner and could see the block booking of leave that I have in December. It was literally screaming out to me. Heh. Still counting down..

Sigh, Saturday come already...

Round two this weekend. :)
So are you flying over with your sister? Lol.

I <3 my weekends

Celebrating YT's 24th birthday last weekend in London.
I turned lobster red in the face after having an overdose of alcohol in a couple of hours. More than what my body has had in the last 6 months. Lol.

College comes to an end tomorrow. Trials in 2 weeks. Oh gosh, give me strength. >.<

Sulwyn drops into London next Friday :) Back in London for a holiday after 2 years of working in Singapore. Am very excited about next Saturday's line up. ;)

Apparently we will decide whether or not to take in a new addition to our family in about 8 weeks time. :) New bouncing, golden, fluffy toy waiting for me to play with when I return in December. Such joy these creatures bring. I can't wait to see pictures of our new pup.

I just rewatched bits of my favourite part of My Fair Lady. I really can't help but be drawn and attracted to Rex Harrison's character Professor Higgins. So enigmatic, so bold and pompous, so sure of himself. This is definitely my favourite scene in the movie. :)

Paddle pop pjs

My 'paddlepop pjs' with my uber messy room strewn with files and notes down the side of my wardrobe.

Tanya and Mish called them my paddle pop pyjamas. Simply because my lounging pants were neon green and the spaghetti strap top was a sweet pink. Both were the colours that you had on the Paddle Pop lollies you had when you were a kid. Lol.

Well right now, I'm currently lazing about in them having had a long day in class (group accounts, not my favourite thing), munching on slightly sweet sourish strawberries.

Contemplating on either watching the MJ memorial coverage on BBC2 or going for a run. Which is it?

Wimbledon 2009...

Words cannot describe how I feel for Andy Roddick right now...

Just to sum a few emotions up, it was:

Heartbreaking to see him and wife Brooklyn both in tears after the match ended.

Fecking annoying to see Federer all cocky and not being gracious to Roddick at all. Some interview answers were definitely uncalled for.

I can't name anymore. Sigh.

Larry Stefanki brought Roddick back from the dead. I was a Roddick fan even before he won the US Open back in 2003 and started dating Mandy Moore.

Roddick played with so much heart in this Wimbledon final. People completely ruled him out of even stepping into a Grand Slam final again, but there he was, playing the best tennis I've ever seen him play.

You deserved to win, Andy. The matches against Hewitt and Murray were flawless.

I'm so proud of your amazing comeback.

You and I (reprise...)

[ANATOLY]
Knowing I want you
Knowing I love you
Cannot compare
With my despair
Knowing I've lost you.

[FLORENCE]
I've been a fool to allow
Dreams to become
Great expectations.

[ANATOLY]
How can I love you so much
Yet make no move?

[BOTH]
There will be days and nights
When I'll want you more than I want to
More than I should
Oh, how I want you.

You and I
We've seen it all
Chasing our hearts' desire
But we go on pretending
Stories like ours
Have happy endings.

[ANATOLY]
You could not give me
More than you gave me
I don't know why
I'm standing by
Watching this happen.

[FLORENCE]
I won't look back anymore
And if I do -- just for a moment.

[ANATOLY]
I can't imagine a time when I won't care.

[BOTH]
But here we are today, and it's over
Hold me and tell me
We'll meet again
Why is it over?

You and I
We've seen it all
Chasing our hearts' desire
But we go on pretending
Stories like ours
Have happy endings.

The most beautiful song from Chess the Musical.

Goodnight world. (Its still steaming in my room at 1am)

Curve balls

Daniel Henney in Biotherm advert.

Sigh imagine waking up to this in the morning. Heh. You'd just wanna stay in bed all day. HAHA.

I am SUCH a compulsive perfectionist. I really do know and believe that my biggest critic is me. As my coaches used to say during volleyball and tennis sessions, "Forget that mistake, focus on the next point!"

Ganbatte. Another progress test on Wednesday. Gotta make it count. Sigh.

Need.More.Effort.

Damn, I feel like baking...

Oh, great news from home! Dad has insisted on getting a new puppy for the household! Wheeeee! :) Bless those persistent cats who keep coming into our garden. New pup, here we come!
