mugging

these days

my life is revolved around two things

mugging, mugging, mugging

and

10-5, 10-5, 10-5

so do excuse me if i ever become

schizophrenic

towards the numbers 10 and 5


(:


blast away

sadness

just came back from my friend's wake

still can't grasp over the fact that

he has left us and gone over to another dimension

just as many of us are starting on a new chapter of our life

his chapter has already ended...so abruptly...

seems like yesterday that we have graduated with our 'O's

and...now he's gone and never coming back...

"paul wai,

you will truly be missed by all of us at
outram sec


rest in peace"

excerpt from the fray's "how to save a life"

"where did i go wrong, i lost a friend

somewhere along in the bitterness

and i would have stayed up with you all night

had i known how to save a life"




and excerpt from taylor swift's "breathe"

"i see your face in my mind as i drive away

cause none of us thought

it was gonna end that way

but it's killing me to see you go after all this time"

"music starts playin' like the end of a sad movie

now i don't know what to be without you around"

"and i can't, breathe, without you

but i have to, breathe, without you

but i have to."


this incident has renewed my perspective on life

about how fragile and short-lived life can be

the next time we lament about the things in life

shouldn't we stop and think instead

about how thankful we should be

to have last this far in life?

cherish.



show some love today ♥

sis birthday

april 1st
sis birthday dinner at kuishin-bo



flowers for the day given by my sister's bf



the happy couple in ♥



posing with flowers



mummy and me



daddy and birthday girl



birthday girl's sister



sis and me


sis remarked that, for once, i looked thin in this pic

as i was compressed against the wall

:-O

which brings a new meaning to the term

"natural photoshop" ((:




sis and me close-up
{isn't the dress nice, it's my gift to her}



princess pooh



cake for the day



and last but not least...the birthday girl ((:


till then folks ((:




me the fake tai tai

sick and tired

oops noticed i haven't been

diligently blogging for a while now


my apologies as i was down with fever,

sore throat and cold for the past few days

just got a little better recently ((:

anyway on a more light-hearted note

went to celebrate my sister's birthday

on April 1st, at the newly-renovated

Kuishin-Bo at Great World City

{sidetrack:

it replaces the the really exorbitantly-priced

kuriya-dining, which specialises in japanese fine

dining cusine and seasonal specialties

which came as a shock to me,

as business seems really good at the former

but well, blame it on the recession and

singaporeans' fondness for buffets

i guess}

the food was good

love the freshness of the sashimi very much


sashimi anyone?

however found the additional barbecue counter

rather redundant

as the barbecue food counter

was nothing much to rave about

but an amusing thing occurred

someone apparently pulled the lever

of the ice-cream machine too hard

and the ice-cream eventually couldn't stop flowing

until it formed a mini ice-cream pool


the actual ice-cream pool was much more terrible

((:

and i know what you guys are thinking

but sorry no it's not me...seriously!

anyway would definitely upload the pictures

of the 22th bash at the next post

when i have gotten them from my sister

((:

anyway, as per my airline joys' request,

here are three more blogshops

i usually frequent for their unique clothes

and no, it's not for me,

it's for my sis...honestly!

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

♥special note to joys♥

before you start shopping like crazy,

maybe you would love to check out

city plaza shopping centre first

as most of the blogshops get their clothes

from that wholesale centre

get someone to drive you there

as it's near geylang the red-light district

maybe next ahlah gathering we can go there ((:


anyway, one special mention is this blogshop

it's a guy blogshop by the way which is new to me

as i never knew that guys have their own "saks avenue"


love anchor tee



grey checked cardigan

isn't it really amusing?

if of interest, check them out here
