My friends are very important to me but sometimes, they disappoint me. I'm fairly tolerant when it comes to friendships and I would never dream of judging them for what they've done or said but there is always one thing which gets me every time. I cannot stand it when people don't follow through with their promises. Whether it's a small thing like setting up a lunch appointment and not following

I have had this vision of flying. Yesterday, in the midst of my mind wanderings, I thought about it - maybe too much. Stepping out of my 46th floor window with arms spread wide and simply giving myself to the care of the wind. It's strange how that image has stuck in mind, almost like a calling. I spoke to T yesterday and he told me that we need to work on keeping in touch. Naturally, I

Monday was the first time I'd been in class since I left Uni. As part of my career experimentation, I decided to try out the insurance industry. Prudential are trying to recruit me and they have been spending a lot of effort and time in explaining my career opportunites with them. After countless of meetings with one of their managers, they gave me the opportunity to take up classes with them

The city of Manchester is a strange place. Once inside the city center, it gives you a sense of being in London but after walking a few blocks, you realize that it's no where near large enough to compare to the country's capital. Everywhere you look, there's someone exhaling a particularly large amount of smoke or flicking some ash onto the street. And yet there is some endearing factors about it

I spent a week in Cardiff to get some space and to recollect myself again. It's been a while since I've been able to feel so connected. Living in Manchester is nice but it doesn't have that feeling of comfort, the one where you know you can just pick up a phone and call a few of your good friends out for a coffee or even a quick visit. It's the lack of such luxuries which makes me miss my uni

Job hunting is a thoroughly depressing process. It's great when you're sought after and are able to have your pick of the day but it's terrible when you're a recent graduate with no experience. For me, each telephone interview brings greater disappointment. I'm always extremely employable right up until they find out I need a work permit. Then it turns out that they 'don't want to waste my

It's been almost two months since I left the UK. After Han went home, my tour guide task ended and I became officially unemployed again. Job hunting is such a mundane process where one fills in endless amounts of applications in hope of a single response. Some of the questions asked of the applicants are just ridiculous: give an instance where you've thought out of the box. How often does

Our little tour of South-East Asia brought us to the holiday town and any golfer's paradise of Kota Kinabalu. Dad picked us up from the airport where I found out that there was not only one, but two terminals. The first one only had six gates if I remember correctly so I was very surprised to find out that there was a second terminal. On the drive back, I asked about Ranger, dad's dog, only to

It's been three and a half weeks since I've left the UK but it only feels like I've been back a few days. That's technically true I suppose since I only arrived from Bangkok on Friday night and what a nightmare that was. Got to the airport early only to find the plane had been delayed another hour and a half. When we were finally ready to hit the runway, the pilot announces that there's a

Definitely a no win situation. My headache this time? I'm going home tomorrow night. My parents think I'm staying. In fact, they're ecstatic with the fact that I'm going back.

I've often been told that I can get excessively dramatic - a viewpoint I almost concur with. Why almost? Generally because there has to be something to provoke me beforehand. Despite what some may choose to believe, I don't randomly stress myself without cause. If one's words and actions contradict each other, how can anyone blame me for being confused at the receiving end? I'm glad we spoke

I got back from the Isle on Thursday to meet both T and Sam for dinner in Picadilly. I hadn't had Korean food in over a year so that definitely made my day. My world cracked a little today. It took me a year to build the walls around me so that I could remain 'inhuman' (as T calls it) to men and the emotional feelings they provoke. Somehow, one managed to slip under the radar and my wall

"We all want to fall in love. Why? Because that experience makes us feel completely alive. Where every sense is heightened, every emotion is magnified, our every reality is shattered, and we are flying into the heavens. It may only last a moment, an hour, an afternoon. But that doesn't diminish its value. Because we are left with memories that we treasure for the rest of our lives."The Mirror Has

That is literally what I am. By what? By fiction. Fan Fiction to be exact. I spend all my time reading them into the small hours of the night neglecting all other imminent aspects of my life. Aspects such as packing (my storage company arrives in a few days) and job applications. It's bad. I'm hoping that after I move to the Bay, things will look better and I'll get a move on.

I opened up a file today and read memoir pieces that I hadn't seen in a very long while... pieces I had almost forgotten, tucked away in a dark corner of my mind. Some of the stories were a far away past while others were a little more recent. Two of them reminded me of the things that I'd lost while another reminded me of something I'd given up. That is part of life I suppose. You must lose

This will be another short post. It's almost 11pm and I just got home. It's been a fairly good day. Not amazing but good enough to gain me some satisfaction with my productivity. It hasn't been going well but today gives me some hope. Allows me to believe that perhaps I've regained my momentum. At least I've arranged for something to help me out with a few things tomorrow.

And it gave me the shivers... "Peacekeepers, teachers prey on Liberia girls" was the headline. I think the most appalling part of this was the fact that those in the wrong were meant to be representatives of the UN, an organization seen as the defender of human rights. UN Peacekeepers are not supposed to be mercenary troops. They were meant to be helping and saving victims in need, not

I really hate it when my mother criticizes what I wear. This is definitely part of the reason why I cannot live with her under her rules anymore. I am no child - DO NOT treat me like one.

I took a little trip to Winchester this weekend to visit an old high school friend. At first, I was feeling a little reluctant but then I got into it and decided that it was definitely a good idea to go. Truthfully, it was probably the best thing I'd done all week. It cured my ill thoughts of the past week and now I find that if not back to normal, I'm most certainly in high spirits. I'm sure

Each of us is represented by a stream of bureaucracy.From one's birth certificate to one's death certificate, these pieces of paper prove our very existence.After death, once the papers disappear, the smallest signs of our existence disappears with them; each over taken by other piece of paper, traces of the dead burried in the past.

Disneyland HK. It was wonderful. I had a lovely time with my family there and we went on some of the rides but truth be told, it was not as amazing as the other Disney's we've been to. First off, it was small and there wasn't a lot of rides as I found that it was definitely more for the younger children. The one thing that I really didn't like was that some Disney workers were really sourfaced

I'm allergic to textbooks. That's the general conclusion I've come upon. I've been at home all day sitting around and glancing at my books every so often only to find that everytime I do stare at them for longer than 5 mins, my eyelids automatically start to droop. *sigh* Being a student really isn't all about the drinking and meeting new people. How I wish. :) My life's complicated itself

Today's weather was depressing. It's all gray and horrible from the moment I stepped outside my door to go to Uni at 9.40am to 5.30 when I managed to drag myself home. I never realized that it's so tiring to spend an entire day at Uni. Thing was that I didn't even have that many classes - two double lectures to be exact. Still, I spent half of my three hour gap in the library doing some work

Do you believe in fate? Because I do. Fate and Karma go hand in hand and in my religion - as loosely as I follow it - hold these in extreme significance. It dictates what your next life will be and the general idea is that if you want to be happy, you will try to be good and increase others happiness in this life... Now I'm hoping that I was good in my last life cause now I want something

My trip to Melbourne was an immense amount of fun and drunkeness. However, it also brought me a new perspective on a significant part of life. Someone I met in Melbourne taught me, albeit unwittingly, how to let go of the reigns and enjoy the feeling of mutual attraction instead of being consumed by it. It was a lesson I thought I had well in hand but now I understand that where it was a farce

I was surfing the net earlier today in the interest of reviving my old obsession about vampires. After looking into a few sites, I stumbled upon several pages advising "vampires" about donors, eating habits and general friendly advice. At first, I thought it was a joke but the more I delved, the more I realized that these people actually believed what they were saying. I have always been

This summer has been rather interesting for me. So much has happened in such a short time. Relationships that have been distant for years were bridged back and I did things that I never in a millions years would have expected to do. My relationship with my dad has always been very distant. In the past two decades, he'd just been a distant figure in my disconnected family. Living in different

It is often assumed that when one follows the yellow brick road, one has an ultimate goal. Yet sometimes, I wonder, and what happens when the yellow brick road suddenly stops and continues on the other side of a canyon. How do you get across? In a way, I am coming towards that break in my road and truth be told, I have no clue how to get onto the other side. So here's the sixty-four million

And so it begins... US vs CHN. I was watching CNN earlier only to find that not only is the US and China rivals in politics but I've just realized that they are inevitably also rivals in trade. Today its the oil industry. I wonder what it will be tomorrow. Technology? Medicine? The world's power balance is starting to shift. From my perspective, it seems futile for the US to cling on to

I tried going to sleep but then squeaking noises kept me up. Yeah... don't ask. Anyway, I had a lot on my mind and although the body was tired, the mind was busy planning ahead. Consequently, I gave up sleep and decided to get on with my day. Yassir has gone. Mich is leaving today so I hope to meet up with her later before she goes.

That's how I feel today - almost literally. It's a lovely day outside today but I'm indoors trying to get myself to study. Doesn't seem to be happening though... *sigh* I have an exam tomorrow at 9am and I don't feel prepared at all. Almost like I know nothing. I hope to high heaven or hell that it's not the case cause I cannot afford to fail this module. I might as well kiss my degree

Finally! I've finally finished MaiHime! *breathes a sigh of relief* My world can continue its original path now. Thanks to Foz, who provides me with my constant supply of anime, I've gotten hold of a new one and basically was driven to finish it despite my upcoming exams. Ok, so I was bad but I managed to finish it in 2 days so at least it's over and now I can focus on revising... hopefully

Why is it that my past always has to come back and bite me in the ass? Especially after I think that I've made peace with it as well. *sigh* What a pain! Maybe I just need a sign on my forehead saying: Hello World! I'm trying to move on here! So attractive... maybe not. :P I spoke to a friend the other day about it and it's comforting to know that I'm not the only one who gets bitten in

Yesterday was a very strange day with lots of mixed emotions. It's only saving grace was seeing the porcupine again. We were extremely flirtatious with each other but the banter, the chat, it was all very comforting. He was exactly what I needed to lift my spirits. One day, I'd like to return the favor of being a comforting presence for him as he was for me when I needed it. I realize today

I had an exam this morning and didn't do it. I got up, went there, looked at the paper and left an hour and a half later. I couldn't do it. There was nothing on the paper which I understood except for one question. Even while I was working on that question my mind was elsewhere... thinking about things which I really shouldn't have been. Why won't he leave me alone? He's already betrayed

This morning, I woke up and my world seemed a lot clearer. Yesterday, I received a mental equivalent to a slap in the face and as much as I dislike the man who did it, I must admit that I was glad it happened. T is right. Everything happens for a reason and that was my wake up call. My Gods did what needed to be done so today I've made the decision to focus on the important stuff, then get

There's been too many things going on my life in the last couple of weeks. I have had too many ups and downs to be able to cope properly. Sometimes, I swear the Gods are having a laugh at me cause this always seems to happen to me during my exam period. It isn't funny anymore. In fact, come to think about it, I haven't been able to find a single element of humor in it... ever. Maybe my Gods

Ok, so mom was right. It's way too easy to become addicted to procrastinating. It's been over a week and I've still done nothing. The revision remains and the options forms are not filled in. Come to think about it, I'm in big trouble with a capital T. Oh dear... That's not good!!!

It's been so long since I had time chill on my own. So much has happened since my arrival in Cardiff. Most are unexpected but some were given I suppose. I haven't been back to mine since Monday night. It's a long complicated story and not worth going through but I just didn't need to feel any sort of tension so I did what I do best: I left. I spoke to Priya today. It's been so long since I

Whenever anyone finds out that it's my birthday tomorrow, they always ask what I wish for. Perhaps it's customary and perhaps they genuinely think that everyone constantly has something they want, something tangible, something material. Lately, I've been contemplating: if I were to die tomorrow, is there anything I would particularly emphasize on as being lacking in my life? A good boyfriend

Unfortunately for me, I temporarily forgot about how strong the tropical sun can be and thus, after a two hour swim, cookie colored is the best description. Thankfully, I'm not burnt despite the redness of my skin but I was white yesterday morning damn it!!! As usual, mom turned out to be appalled. Joe found it fairly amusing given how much he knows I like being pale. Nevertheless, I'm not

Here I am, sitting in the study at 5.21am trying to will myself to be tired so I can go to bed. Don't think that's going to happen anytime soon as I only got up today at 4 in the afternoon... Yeah... Damn.The last week has been a blur of events. Not to say it's a bad thing cause I'm sure I enjoyed myself loads considering the lack of work I've produced, but it can't be a very good thing

For the past week I've been down with the flu and it was horrible. I've never actually had the flu before this and man, I really never want to have it again. It was that bad. Everyday I woke up feeling icky and for the rest of the day, I'd lie around the house (either Tam's, mine or Mo & Nawaz's) and become zombie like. Somewhere along the way my voice cracked and according to Spy, I sound

Today was another one of those days where I didn't do anything productive and just bummed around. I woke up with the intention of doing some coursework but that never happened... *sigh* On the brighter side of life, I met up with Tam, Nawaz, Spy and the rest. It was cool as we went bowling and chilled out which I haven't done in a while. Becca came along as well which was brilliant. Didn't

I'm so tired: mentally, emotionally, whatever. It doesn't matter anymore. The outcome is the same. Everything has been going well in life with the exception of my exam result but hey, I didn't exactly do the work for it so I suppose I got the grade I deserved. *sigh* Life is never easy that way.

It's 11 in the evening and I'm feeling sleepy. Unusual, I know but perhaps I'm growing old. The last several weeks have been a trial with so much happening in such a short period of time. Even Foz laughes at me when I tell him I haven't seen him for ages; at which point he proceeds to elaborate by saying he saw me two days ago. All the same, my days blend together into a whirlwind of non-stop

From the management accounting coursework that is... I finished it about an hour ago, printed and electronically submitted as well. I'm impressed with myself. Usually I'm up till 7 in the morning screaming over it. I can't believe it's over. Totally feels so good to get it out of the way. I've been trying to get ird of it for quite a while now.

It's weird. Intellectually, I've always known that the UK is a very racist place but I personally have never actually encountered a racist person until tonight. They were a group of teenagers walking down the road I live on. My flatmate and I were walking back from the Spar with a bag full of fat. (Yep. Chocolate, candy, jammie dodgers = Fat) One of the boys just decided to turn around and

I watched a wonderful cantonese movie tonight called Yesterday Once More. I believe it's possibly one of the best chinese movies I've seen. Despite the fact that it was blatantly written for women, it isn't as much of a 'chick flick' in the American sense as one might first assume it to be. No soppiness or "dumb blondes" (excuse the phrase) involved. It's movies like this that spoil it for

Mo started a tradition this week. Apparently, he wants to have dinner properly on a dinner table every night now. Last night, one of his housemates cooked chicken curry. It was very filling but absolutely delicious. Being typically brought up in HK, I'm not very good with spicy food. I tend to run for the nearest vat of milk. However, I'm proud to say that I managed to get through all the

Back in Cardiff now and already I'm feeling the need for a change of scenery. Although I've managed to prolong my stay in Asia, I find that I'm not ready to come back to UK yet. Perhaps a break from Cardiff after the exams would help. Again, it's a temporary reprieve. It's all too obvious now that I'm way overdue for a one way ticket home. But then again, duty before preference right? At

Anyone notice the lack of blog entries these days? :P Anyway, a quick Thank You to those of you who were worried enough to call or message; especially Tom, CB and Gaz.

No words can describe the sheer shock and horror when I saw the terrifying incident on CNN. It was like 911 all over again. Although selfish, I must say that I'm so grateful that my gods were looking after my family as they were not affected in anyway but the loss of others hits me just as hard. As VB says, "Poseidon has fed well this year" and the images that CNN broadcasts are haunting. htp

There is no feeling in the world which compares to the knowledge that you're going home. The day I left Cardiff I was over the moon - ppl told me it was contagious, even over the phone. I arrived in SG on Sunday Dec 19th 6.35pm; home was still several days away but already I felt like I could breathe better. I took a cab to mom's apartment and when she opened the door, the look on her face

Today is another day which I haven't done any work - that's three days in a row now. Lack of sleep doesn't help either. I have been running around looking for accommodation for next year tho. Foz and I are moving in together *yay!!!* - the gods help our neighbors: it'll be a year of Metal vs RnB. I can't wait! *muahahaha* It hasn't been long since my last entry yet so much has happened

I know, I know, it's late but I have forever been a nocturnal one. Besides, I don't have class till noon tomorrow tho so I'm good for now. Spent my day reading scanslations by ShoujoMagic & MangaSync. Let's hear it for those out there who put in the effort to make it possible for others to enjoy manga. I'm sure loads of ppl really appreciate your work, as do I of course. If it weren't for

My essay was handed in today. I stayed up Sunday night to finish it because I couldn't be bothered to do it earlier. Everytime I sat down in front of my computer, I'd do a little, get bored, then do something else. Most of the time, it involved getting out so that I wouldn't feel that sense of guilt. Despite all, I wish I was more motivated about the essay cause now I'm starting to regret my

*Heaves a huge sigh* I feel like I'm studying for an exam or something. I haven't been in the library for this long since - well, since, before the summer. Stupid law essay! I didn't even go to the library during my resit period! Although, to be fair, I didn't actually have to do that exam. I think I went temporarily psychotic and decided it'll be fun to voluntarily take a resit. Yeah, it

Mo and Foz complain that I have a sugar addiction. In fact, come to think about it, I vaguely remember Jay giving me grief about it as well. Man, can't a girl enjoy her candy in peace anymore these days? Sigh. It's not even like they're normal candy; they're WINDERS! They've even got fruit content in them which means it's quite possibly good for my health. Huge thanks out there to Haylz who

Yesterday was a strange day for me. I woke up for my 9am lecture but after that, I took a nap and somehow managed to miss 2 lectures and a tutorial after I'd set 2 alarms. Still can't figure out how I managed to sleep through my alarms. Thing is, I was highly amused when I found that my flatmate had done the same. Oh well, the world goes round huh? Today, my reading remains untouched. I

Ok. I made a promise. This time, I really am going to try and keep this blog updated. Honest!!! *makes a face* The last couple of months have been stressful to say the least. There's been a whole chain of events happening so fast that a new issue unfolds before the last one is sorted. Our Thursday tax lectures are now known as my crisis management sessions thanks to Gazza. :p On the
