28 September 2009- KITE FLYING EVENT AT West Coast Park



Probably my happiest day so far.

In the morning, met bff for breakfast for some h.t.h chatters.
awww.. she shared with me some blissful updates of her new found love.
i just like it when we connect :p
After which we set off we to wcp for the highly anticipated event!!
i thought kite flying will be an
easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy, chicken-feety affair for everyone.
all you have to do.... is to launch the kite into the sky..!

you wish ah. its really not that simple!
we have to get hold of the correct wind direction and angle before we can do that,
which was quite a back-breaking BUT crazily fun and happy process we went through.

meanwhile.. i realise that
Singaporeans can actually be quite warm and helpful.

Imagine 4 blonde girls trying to fly the kite... TWO WORDS:
Mission Impossible.
Seeing us in lodged in such a tragical situation,
some people actually came forward to help us voluntarily!

One kind man explained to us why the kite cant fly
One kind man told us offered to hold the kite up high so we can launch it correctly
One kind man attached a small little tail for our little kite
One kind man repaired our kite for us
Really grateful to the four kind men, man!

and finally....
The kite was flying in the sky!
Fly kite fly~ so freely in the blue blue sky.
if we were to get it right the first time..
i dont think we can feel such an outburst of joy at the end!
its often only after we experienced the initial struggle
can we truly taste the sweet fruit of success.
:D
SMILES~

And in the evening, my sis was really nice to me!
she brought home my favy creampuffs and ondeh ondeh.
weeeeeeee. what's there not to be happy about?
you tell me!

And so my day was made...
with Angie, Zhiwei, Felicia and my Sissy! ^^

MBFHABF!!

An addition of the sixth element in her life.
Smell something sweet? It's love! :)

Dear Diary,
Last Sunday morning..
Maxie and me went to Bukit Batok Community Centre.
Volunteered ourselves as mentors/tutors for the needy children.
it was really an eye opener and new experience for the both of us..


i think it wont be an easy task for me to guide them..
as you know, younger children tend to have a shorter attention span
and are easily distracted. (i think guolian will understand)
playful and jumpy *boingboingboing*
eeeek.. how am i going to capture their attention?


some are attention seekers, some are not.
Generally, the quieter ones are those with really low self-esteem
probably due to the fact that the children come from low income families..
and not well-taken care of at home. their parents might be
apathetic to the needs of their child, leaving them neglected and unloved.
its sad.. :(





I always thought that everyone would have their very own dream, their own direction in life.

but not necessarily so...

"What's your dream?"

When confronted with this question, some of them would simply reply..

"I don't know."

Is it because back at home, they dont really have someone to look up to, to inspire them?
Or is it because of the lack of low self-esteem, that caused them to extinguish the courage for them to dream a big dream?


well.. we may never know.
most of us are born into happy families, sheltered from all the sun and rain.
at home we're showered lavishly with care and concern by our parents..
in which might translate into something negative, known as nagging.
we may just take things for granted. (im guilty of this and im trying to change..)
But as compared to those little kids out there, we are really really very fortunate and lucky.


everyone knows we can never decide who our parents will be, right?
hope we can consciously cherish what we have before us.
Especially our family and friends..
those integral, important relationships that keep us alive all the time!
thankfully.. i've learnt this from Someone. =)


No doubt, waking up early on a Sunday morning will not be an easy chore for a pig like me!
but i guess i will just have to learnt how to adapt and sacrifice some sleep,
when you can turn those time into fulfilling moments as you guide those children.
im quite sure you'd able to sleep better at the end of the day..
;)


(Notice the contrast between this picture and the one before? I see hope..)





You never know what kind of surprises the day might bring.
Look, I woke up early and managed to capture the Sun right outside my window!~
^^v
i feel its time to do my part for the society. 19 years old le..
i'd like to share and spread some of the love i have to the less fortunate children.
hopefully i can impact their lives in some positive way ba!


Money doesnt determine how rich your life is,
meaning does.

27 & 28 July 2009

These 2 days i'll never forget.
For those were the most sinful/幸福 days in my 19 years of life!
taitai-time with Maxie!!
Shopped at ION Orchard.
Chilled at Starbucks.
Dined at Crystal Jade for consecutive 2 days.
OMG.

i actually thought i wont like the place,
thinking that it'd be just another Takashimaya/Vivo City..
Loaded with flashy designer brands that seemed so alien and unreachable to commoners like me.
But.. Somehow i liked the place.
The exterior of the building looks humongous and posh,
undoubtedly portraying Singapore as a shopping paradise..
i felt so microscopic all of a sudden, just by standing in front of the entrance :S
The interior design of many shops are seriously quite praiseworthy!!
Each of them emitting its own unique aura,
bringing out a myraid of style and flavour to allure consumerism~
(but of course.)


Well. this may not be a bad thing afterall! since it'd promote economic growth for the country in this recession period..
(ECONS!! Ohmy.. Angie's favourite.)
But then again, on the other side of the spectrum, thriftiness is a virtue too.
Wah.. Sounds contradicting huh?

See. Its called Bread Society!!
This will surely attract all the Pet Society lovers out there man!
(Hor ANQI? Hor Snuffy? Hor Vivaldi?) wahahhaha.

And the basement. neatly lined with stalls after stalls of foody food!!
comprising food cultures from all over the world~ shall give it a try next time..
yum :P

Tuesday after TTT, i went to visit my poor Angie the sickling.
First time seeing her down with such a serious illness :(
Maxie bought 4 bottles of 凉茶 for her
(initially he wanted half a dozen.. ><)

YC： Max! Enough le!! No need buy so many.

凉茶Auntie: 你看..他很疼你~

YC: . . .

And i bought some red grapes and chocolates :]

Just look at how caring her daddy is! :')
found this on the newspapers and had it cut out,
And he specially pasted this in her study room so as to serve as a reminder for her.
Aww.. Or is it just me who's easily touched by such little actions?
Let's learn to be a little more appreciative ba.. =)
i hope she'll feel better after downing what we bought for her.
please get well soon bff!



p.s. overjoyed for i got accepted :) its dawning on me.. finally!

The Day of the Eclipse.

When i heard on news about the eclipse, which was like
Once in a lifetime, i felt so high at that instance!
but... i realise this rare occurrence can only be seen in parts of China -.-
sian diao dot~
to think that i still asked some ppl to look out for the eclipse!
so blondey. throw face oledy ><

*Denial Mode Activated*

1,2,3,4~ Hi 5!
the five us went on a picnic~
bumblebee, felicia toe, (tickletickle~) lilan hamper, xiaobai and me!

weeeehoo. its really convenient when you have a car!
you do not need to fear looking like an auntie carrying
bulky bigbig NTUC plastic bags.. or fastening some greeny straw mats behind your back..
looking like a tramp or something :X
(gahh im exaggerating :P)
Armed with sandwiches, chips, fruits, drinks, radio and we're off~ :D

CUTE CANDIDS~

Wah. Eat banana also so serious ah?!

Ah. 这样就对了嘛~ its a sunny yellow banana day!

The end of a BIG happy day.
:)

"Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?"
Let's smell the sea, sway with the trees..
and sing happily.

p.s. 珊瑚海..!

Happiness is... little happy moments.

Here is something to keep in mind: People who appreciate small moments of happiness, laughter and joy through the course of each day tend to be happy people who are more likely to be resilient against adversity and more successful on jobs. relationships and health outcomes.

Studies show that happy people do not need to be Pollyannas or deny the upsetting parts of life. However, these people have the ability to put greater stock in small, happy moments.

Savouring these blips of pleasure in everday life elevates one's mood overall and leads to more resilience against negative events.

-Los Angeles Times

So people out there, SMILE~ happiness is free!









Vocabulary (Did i hear someone scream??)
Pollyanna - an excessively or blindly optimistic person.
Resilience - ability to recover readily from illness, depressio, adversity.

(Just like the BOUNCE BOUNCE Ball!)

aLOHa!
recently, bumbleBEE and i went to felicia's (the tall one not the short one :p)
for some catching up.
not forgetting Lucky too~ i missed you!

We played an ancient game known as Millionaire and of cos,

Wooohoo~ Sunday. At Maxie's, we had a crazily fun time there!!
1. The PET SOCIETY House Judging Competition &
2. The Munchskin Game!


Omg! Guess whatwhatwhat?
For the former, the blonde was among the TOP THREE positions okay!
Together with Angie and Maxie!!



*victory hugS!*


Sigh. Poor zhiwei still cant accept the fact that she lost.. :P
YY seems nonchalant about it though! (He must be bleeding inside. bleh)
neni-neni poopoo lol.
BUT. all in all, i must say the competition's highly biased,
due to the fact that Felicia Judge has a fetish for pink!
which somehow clouded her judgement.. haha.

For the latter, the game requires something called 'thinking'...
No surprise, the last woman standing was.~
Felicia Sun Yan Hui with her,
"I WANT TREASURE ! ! ! "


Ohyes. i'm in love with the durianpufffs from ♥Emicakes!
Lets form the Durian Puff Girls!! And gobble all the puffs in the world!!
(hey. it rhymes!)
Rich, creamy and lavish yellow fillings within a crispy, light crust
And the best part is that.. it simply melts in your mouth.
a pity guolian irks durian, though she's got the i-love-durian look?
榴莲榴莲 guolian mah! lol~
eeee and the 脏 Zirui still used his bare hands to eat, after wearing his boots!
:O

As the old adage goes: 肮脏吃肮脏大 aH?
ahahha.
F-U-N
That sums it all~ And yay,
we're having a date with Hairy Potty soon!
Cant wait!!






p.s. When you feel weak, faith gives you strength.

Happening, happy-ing~

Last Saturday,
Went to V8 Cafe @ Bugis Junction to celebrate
mOjO Pangpang's 3rd birthday!~ (in advance)
he was handsomely dressed that day!!
With his smart-looking Victorian suit with the word 'Romeo' sewn on it,
with his flowy sleek cloak at the back! How suave.
that blissful bear with the six of us. A pity changsheng wasnt there..

GMX (MJPP's mommy) Yukai, Yanhong, Xuan, ET and Me~
:D

Before that, we were at kbox! Singing our hearts and lungS out.
It was really really 'breath-taking' cos i almost died laughing..
Their spontaneous, random jokes.
Especially when we came to singing 触电!
That ET, darn funny mannn lol~

At the cafe, when we wanted to request for the lito cake we bought for MJPP..
the waitress actually asked, "Who's birthday is it?"
We were momentarily stunned&speechless for we're actually celebrating the birthday,
of a non-living thing, i mean bear.
wahahahha.. hope pangpang doesnt see this.
shhhhh. you know we love you :P
let's celebrate your birthday, our friendship every year!

* * *

On Sunday,
Skipped over to Maxie's new nesty!
He's such a lucky soul, born with a silver or rather diamond spoon in his mouth.
:O
His house, deceivingly feels like a hotel.
its doorway, interior design, furniture and even the (i shall put it elegantly) restrooms
resembles that of a luxurious hotel room..
there's one particular spot which i like-
the little platform which is just beside his bed and by the huge windows..

Just imagine this..
During rainy days, you can just curl yourself up in the little corner with your favourite book
snuggling under the covers..Warm and cozy.
And when your eyes feel tired..
You can look out of the window and just watch the raindrops descend from the sky..
and hear them go 'plop plop'.
With a hot drink in my hands, it'll be perfect! :)

Gee, i seriously love to dream..

Caught the Ice Age 3, Dawn Of The Dinosuars recently with my besties and i love it.
Notice i used the word 'love' not 'loved'!
It's worth watching, really.
In it, there's the elements of kinship, friendship and love
The kinship among Manny, Ellie and PEACHES and Mother Dino and her 3 cutie baby dinos.. (Plus Sid, who was Daddy for one day?)
The friendship between the extraordinary herd and heroic Buck!
The unusual love between the two squirrels who fell in love in a ferocious fight over...
an acorn ><
Everything, weaved beautifully and seamlessly into a movie.
Not forgetting the injection of humour and adventure
making it a near-perfect production!
Cute, tickly and heart-warming. A mustmust watch!!
ooh. i love peaches. she is so adorable!
with her watery, big round eyes overflowing with pure innocence.


But in time to come, she'll realise that the world isn't as wonderful afterall...
:(

p.s. somehow, my liking for blue has came back.
I wonder if it's good or bad?

p.p.s. Crazier, it's a lovely song.

A YY's Affair, 17 June 2009.


Weeee..
This year, we went to town!
Maxie did some of his extravagant shopping, in which he spend like $200 on
A Calvin Klein shirt.
@-@

then we went to Clarke Quay for a really hearty dinner at Mr. Curry!!
*salivates profusely*
the ambience there was rather petsociety-like.. and i felt at home.
the interior of the restaurant decorated simply with traditional pots, pans and utensils..
everything so warm and nice.. aww.
what a dream kitchen!

after which, we went for some family photo-taking by the Singapore River~
Do love the night scene of Clarke Quay!
imagine the gentle wind caressing your hair..
the cool breeze sliding past your skin..
woo.

Ohyes, the pubs, restaurants, everything....
Clarke Quay has come to live at night!
We saw a dizzy arrangement of florescent lights,
some pubs with a dark yet mysterious ambience...
which enticed me to wanna enter and have a lO-Ok!
It truly is what people call night life right there.
the place surrounded with tunes that were catchy,
people making merry..
We also tasted the Turkish Ice Cream (I screammmm!!)
the ice-cream seller was so slyyy.. played some funny tricks on us!
wahahaa.
anyway, the ice-cream was chewychewy de. YUM!

what an eye opener for us :D


Finally... last but never the least. YY!
Hope you had a happy birthday,
Sunshine and smiles quickquick come your way.
^-^




p.s. The key to true happiness ,
is to do the things you love with the ones you love.

Went for our regular badminton session with zhi lian and angie!
weeee.
simply love the feeling of exercising and perspiring...
and then followed by glasses of icy, refreshing fruit juicesss!
Somehow, they just seem to taste exceptionally great :)
after the BMT session,
angie and me went for a mini excursion to Chinese Garden for a stroll~
we saw Lin Ze Xu, Yue Fei, Miss Hua Mulan. San Bao Eunuch...
and many more whom i cant recall. =x

you can really capture pretty photos there! especially in the evening.
and of course a perfect place for dating (according to Angie)
we saw wavy streaks of colours splashed across the horizon.
pink.. orange.. violet.. it was a beautiful sight.

but, one bad thing was that there were the existence of detestable mosquitoes!!
raaaa. all bite me until itchy itchy..
stupid (and stinky) angie was teasing me that next time IF i were to date,
i'll be busy the whole time, slapping and shoo-ing those sickening flying insects away.
i cant imagine that.. i dowan!! how un-romantic.
wahahaaha.

love that clumsy old hag of mine.
may your knee injuries heal quickly and
more importantly, beautifully.

confidence! confidence! confidence!
Because you're worth much much more.
: )
