We’re built to last;

This is why.

‘Niu’ Year.

As everyone is saying, happy chinese ‘niu’ year. This year was probably the most hectic one ever, being that we opened our house up on the second day. I’ve never chopped so much garlic, chilli, cantaloupe, honeydew, cucumber and duck in my entire life. My right hand will ache tomorrow for sure. It’s always nice to see old relatives again, after two years, and also realizing how fast time passes. One of my aunt’s, is expecting, and another uncle just had a baby boy, who is the cutest thing ever. 

This festive period marks the so-called ‘end’ of my holiday, full gear on to rehearsals for the next couple of weeks. I feel that I’ve kinda wasted my holiday since I had grandplans to go on bigBIG adventures to unknown and untouched territories on a ‘graduation trip’. Something that will mark the end of my undergrad and the beginning of another phase. Well, this few weeks itself shall hold new adventures in a whole other aspect I suppose. Then I shall be off to ChiangMai [Ican'twait!], maybe and  time-willing, Penang again for another round of eating. If not, Singapore will do just fine. I’ve been home for over a month, and I must say that there’s actually heaps to explore around here. 

Til’ later.

Rarr.

What a time to fall sick. The festive seasons are always the worst time to fall sick. Maybe someone up there is telling me not to eat all the newyear goodies. Heehee. I’ve already had some pineapple tarts, hand-home-made love letters, kueh lapis, oooh, I love Chinese New Year. Will post some newyear photos up soon. My house has been cheena-fied for the festivities. RedredRED!

Ho[use].

Once; home.

Abbey.

This puppy is the new love of the family (maybe just me); but I cannot resist her eyes. She chews on your fingers if you try to pet her, but licks you furiously if you scold her. She has those eyes that look so incredibly sad, that you cannot help but want to carry her. And then of course the other doggies get jealous and start pulling at your shorts to get your attention. I love how she will sit when she thinks she’s done something wrong. I wish she’d stay like that forever.

Travel bags.

I’m super itching to travel, since I’ve graduated and apparently have alot of time on my hands, which is not the case. Penang is good, food is totally awesome, as usual, and we have a new puppy who is terribly irresistable. Having not been here for a while, I realise that this place, that is my so-called hometown, has a certain charm about it. I’m not sure if it’s the details of the tiling on the shop houses and coffeeshops, or the beach front terraces, or the kuayteowtng at my doorstep. Whatever it is, I do love this place, however hot it is. In other news, I & Db are in Viet, and Dv is in Melbourne, so I’ve decided to take on some ‘work’ back in theatre helping Bang for DarkKnuts, wanna know more ask me! (: So I have busied myself for the next month and am planning a small adventure after before I head back to the city of cafes [I miss MART130!!!]. Cannot wait! I have a few plans in between too, with VIP(s) to meet and do crazy fun things! Ahhh, I absolutely cannot wait!

That’s the way it goes;

I sat at my table, listening as the breeze and little droplets of rain drifted into my window. The smell of rain so familiar and strong; I wish you were here to make the cold a little warmer. You said it was too hot over at where you are, I said, weird, it just got cold on the sunny island.

Wondering whether you took the sunshine along with you when you left.

My brain unconciously finds little things to do and keep busy; colour coding my entire collection of DMC threads; writing down the list of things to look forward to. There’s way too many you said; let’s keep some for another day.

We snap a photo; I decide to keep it in black and white. You look a little fierce, I just look happy.

Skype is my new bestfriend, handphone places second, Gchat third; we talk for the whole day; cyberspace makes things a little easier these days you say. You smile and everything else; fades.

27days; we’ll make it.

Resolutions 2009.

Someone, A, just asked, “what are your new year resolutions?” “just being kaypo.”

Well, for one, remembering that I said that I had resolutions. And remembering to list them and write them down, sometime soon.

1. Stop procratinating.

Okay, will continue later.

Happiness.

To Jo-Ann and Keat; (((((: <3<3 [is all I can say!]

Eyes.

You know what they say about how the eyes are a window to the soul?

Well, the new year is here and I’m glad I started it out slowly. I can never remember what I did on the first day of the new year, but this year I suppose I’ll remember. Thanks girls, you are the best (: I have lots of resolutions for the new year, and I’ll be jumping into a new world and new chapter of my life altogether. Armed with a degree and lots of passion, I’m gonna do whatever it takes. Projects to start on and strive to finish, things to dream about and put into some action. I’m glad to have people who believe in dreams such as these, and love me enough to walk this crazy road with me. I pray with all my heart that which doors should be open or closed, You will lead and guide and most of all, give me peace and patience. We’ll get there, I know it. 2009 is gonna be awesome.
