I'm a proud fisher-woman.
Sorry Mr Sea bass, you bit the wrong bait and became my catch for the day. :) *Hooha

Sorry, the face is too ugly.
And hello, my fishing Kaki.

I was stoning the whole of yesterday till Don and DJO came over to my place for FREE Dinner, FREE ice cream and FREE angpaos. And after that we went fishing but Don back out last min. So ohwells. Boo to you. But we probably wouldn't have caught anything cuz he's jinx-ed at fishing. haha. The record currently stands at 5 fishes.
By the time i came home in the morning and woke up again IN THE MORNING, Jul was already at the door for our swimming session.
I'm so sorry Sabby but you seriously look hilarious every time we swim. haha

Despite the many times that i've failed Him, He is still willing to use me. Why? i really dont know. Sometimes I just feel like I don’t deserve it all. But I really thank God for everything.
I’m not seeking to be the new face and be known by everyone or even to be the so called “anointed” understudy worship leader. Oh my, and definitely not to the extent of having being called out and prayed for by Pst yang. (my heart dropped all the way down to my toes.) I’m just glad He’s willing to use me. I guess this is really way over my own expectations of what I can do and what I will do. I have little dreams. Sadly. My only expectation is to be the best backup singer I can be.
I really appreciate all the compliments that people have said to me. It’s really encouraging. But I’ll never want fall under the category of being over confident, arrogant, self sufficient and having no sense of humility + all the other things you can think of, etc etc.
Humility is what I’ve learnt today. It’s never about us.
And often times, its when you least expect it that you have it. I was telling someone that it’s okay if I’ve humiliated myself. The face doesn’t matter to me anymore. And although when Pst Daniel was preaching I felt like I want to pull out my hair cuz I really thought I did badly at the beginning and what’s worst is that I’m about to die singing for the altar call (So I hid behind the keyboard. :) Not a very smart move I guess), I didn’t expect anything out of it. I just want to cultivate that essence of simplicity by saying God i need you before it begins and telling God thank you each time it has all ended.
Honestly, I use to think that I’m the most unlikely candidate for anything. I guess many do too. It’s always the point about being not good enough. (Sidetrack a lil: When we have worship meetings and everyone will sing, everyone will compliment jul about how nice she sounds etc. Jul reallyyy. You always don’t believe me Haha you have the best sound I know. I remember Prissy will bend over and say eh jul sing very nice right!, pst Rupert will say, wow nice voice, a little more polishing it will be powerful, and Christine will say waa jul got nice voice, dajie will say eh your voice very nice leh. See jul, people esteem you higher that what you think you are. My mum thinks you’re the prettiest and so do I :) haha So lets lower the expectations off ourselves and heck those who compare us :)) okay so my point is just to take our eyes off ourselves, use what we have and do what we can.
Anyways, my mouth was slightly twitching when pst yang said beware of those people who try and take advantage of me or make a superstar out of it or something like that la. haha It reminded me that sabby, jul and I had this crazy idea of wanting to join the next superband competition as “fortynights” haha. It will never happen I guess. We’re not even anywhere near Fortydays, the band that we claim to be affiliated to. Hahaha.
Teach me how to glorify you instead.
Exam is coming. There’s a need to start preparing! Excellence is needed. Haha Home is a bad place. The bed is a stumbling block. Maybe I’ll be off to the airport alone for the next few days? It Depends. Cuz its totally inaccessible :)
If you’re rich, you’re rich.
Bbq, a buffet table, fondue, 4 plates of yu shen with abalone, a Big cake, and many friends. Oh talk about Buffet. Heh. With herbal chicken and fish maw? Qinsheng… You ought to be beaten up. :)
For a special friend..
Happy birthday :)
So lets hope this gift made my friend happy.
I’m simply amazed at how my birthday friend (yes you qinsheng) can entertain so many different cliques of people and yet non felt bored or out of place. Including me. interestingly.
And I, somehow, unexpectedly had fun. so yes. :)
Its like coming out of my oyster shell.
So much so for feeling awkward when these people happily made me stand in the middle. HAHA
But these are new friends that i've made. Yes they are ONE gang by themselves but its nice knowing that they are not even a tad bit cliquish and they all seem like a family. haha I really felt welcomed.
I give a 100 stars to pei lian (2nd from the right) for accompany me when I'm stoning there myself. :)
Okays. What else was on saturday.
Oh yes. had worship rehearsal in the morning. Rushed home to bring meyer out for a walk and off to a gathering with my parent's ex church friends. Boo to them cuz they didnt give me angpow! Tsk tsk. Why like that. haha.
But it’s nice knowing that my parents still havesuch close friends.
Everyone came hugging me and asked if I still remember them, and that they used to play with me and so on... Okay I wouldn’t have remembered cuz it’s like 20 years ago. But thank god cameras were already available. So at least I knew them through the photos.
They all had funny nicknames like Cha bee hoon, Mangkali and my dad was kiam chye ang. Which makes my mum kiam chye soh? haha Some looked like they just came down from the mountains with their goatees. So different from what I expected them to be. But oh wells.
OH OH and the house was N I C E. BIG and nice. There is a roof garden fully equipped with bbq pits, swings, washing areas and so on. OH MAN. Its okay. My house is good enough. My house is good enough. My house is good enough.
Then later we went to grandma’s place for another round of family gathering. It’s supposed to be some Everybody’s birthday day. Haha
SO here's grandma and me. i love her.
Friday:
Swimming with pris and jul. chao ta to the maximum! and we're attempting it again on tuesday. HEH
So We had our first cell as 2.2 on friday as well. Its weird. Especially during dinner time. but it was a good start. :)
Only some of the girls.
Hello jul. we're in the same cell again.
So eventful. Yawn.. another day has passed.
Okay, nothing significant really happened.
It’s too long, So you don’t have to read this.
Met Mr Junwen to pass him his notes at bugis.. I had to cab down because I was late. Heh. What a waste of money. All because I was happily dreaming that TTL and Cheryl were flooding the tag board. HAHA. Don’t ask me why.
Anyways, met him at 12p.m and my next meeting was at 9p.m to do some cell planning with Jasper, Jul and Vincent. So what did I do for 9 hours? Nothing much really.
I shopped from Parco Bugis to Bugis street and to the other side… which is like Fu lu shou complex and OG Haha.
Bugis street is like the gateway to another dimension. Heh. They had lion dance, mediums (yes. mediums), aunties and uncles, Tong tong chiang music, blah blah and etc etc. Wow. Finally it feels like its CNY.
Oh my and when I was walking by this toy shop, the uncle came right up to me and started firing some streamers at my face with this toy gun. It was like *pang pang! And I dodged. Heh OH my I couldn’t help but laugh at myself. So I just bit my lips and scrammed. Haha.
Okay. Then I took a train down to orchard...shopped all the way down to Somerset and back up to orchard. Fell down a few times (as usual). THEN I took a train to city hall… walked to Marina square, combed the entire mall… and it was still only 6pm. najfhaofoancaf. The heels were killing me and my legs were breaking! And yes I was wearing heels.
So…I still had like 3 more hours. What did I do? I’m glad you asked. I came up with this brilliant idea of watching a movie. With? Oh I’m glad you asked that too. :) No one really, only with about a 100+ people... THAT I DON’T KNOW.
Okay so I was a little embarrassed about buying a ticket for 1. So oh wells, I’ll forget about it. Woo but when I turned around, the AXS machine was there… glowing. Ahh another brilliant idea. Buy from the machine! Okay not that brilliant. The ATM card has no money in it. Heh. So I was pressing here pressing there... Try inserting my card in and oh! It was Successful! Oh my…and the machine starting printing my ticket.
Now, pls understand the difference between watching a movie alone at marina sq compared to maybe Bedok cinema. It’s a working day and why are there still so many people!!? And I think the girl who tore my ticket must be laughing her head off at this lonely dudette. Thank God for popcorns. It kept me company.

Just follow law was good. It wasn’t hilariously funny like Jack Neo’s other films, but it was still good. Some parts were a little obscene though. Kinda like Hot chicks. (Was it hot chicks?) haha
Yes i know. Why didnt i go home instead. i took a cab to bugis! i had to make full use of it. but i end up spending so much more. haha so OH WELLS
Yeah so we had cell planning. Then Jul came for a sleep over.
We look horrible. I Don’t know what jul is up to also. Haha and as usual, we talk talk talk. I guess that’s so true about what girls do. Oh but sabby is an exception cuz she can’t even last after midnight. Haha.
Then this morn Jul and I went swimming under the blazing sun. we’re about halfway cooked. Oh and we’re swimming again tmr with Pris. I hope I get a nice Tan and not the chao ta colour. Need more radiance! Actually the current colour is nice already. Why go again tmr? Heh Itchy backside maybe.
After all that, Jul and I went town to buy some stuff.
We look like an eraser and a pencil head put together.
Then we had Choir rehearsal. Haha. The terror. We haven’t even started warm up and I got shot by pst Rupert to sing. (Get me out of choir. Please? :P)
Okay, nonsensical entry again. YAWN. Time to say goodbye. UH.
I'm not as photogenic as when i was 5. BOO to growing up.

Is it out of love or by employment?
They have exceeded our capacity. And our capabilities will never be enough.
Then we finally realise that time will never be on our side.
But be encouraged because trails are never an enemy of our faith but an element that proves his faithfulness.

Okay. Chinese New Year is slightly different this year. My first stop was to visit grandpa at the hospital. I’m so glad he looked great today but poor grandpa has to lie in bed doing nothing all day. There is no entertainment. Not even a TV. His diabetic condition is making his vision worst each day. So he can’t even read the newspaper.
Before we left, I really wanted to hug him and say, ah gong I love you so much. But I didn’t. I’ve never hugged him or told him that I love him before and I really don’t want to regret it when I don’t have the chance to do so.
So what’s stopping me? Is it because we are all Chinese?
BE HEALED!
Mrs. Lam (in other words, my mum) gave me an ang pow the size of... my pillow? I mean literally. Ever wonder why is everything up-sized this year? :)
Please keep the pineapple tarts away from me. I’m highly addicted and finished 2 tubs of it already. Oh this is badddddd. Chomp chomppp.
If you want to go on an Epic adventure please... Anything but watch the epic movie. It’s not even a tad bit dumbly hilariously funny. No match for white chicks. Poor Andrew and Don were so disappointed after the show. Good thing I didn’t set any expectations on it.
I should really adjust my sleeping hours back to normal before I turn nocturnal.
Mommy says she’ll buy me a cheap and small car if I pass my driving. Oh what great news! But first, sign up for lessons Lavonne. Heh. I’m such a procrastinator.
Reunion dinner was okay.
I still sit at the kids table. Can someone tell me WHY?
Think my dad spent a bomb on all the food gifts and stuff. (bought an entire PIG heh) Still my parents argue about why my dad gave more money and bought more stuff for my paternal side than her side blah blah. Oh dear. Are these problems you face after marriage? In-law’s conflict. Heh. Scary.
We didn’t get to mommy’s side for dinner in time. I guess I would have enjoyed it better there. They had cockles (si ham) the size of my fist. Believe it or not.
And grandma was so adorable. She clipped an ang pao oh her hair to bring good fortune because she was losing at mahjong.
But Grandpa was admitted to the hospital yesterday because he keeps vomiting after he eats. And it turns out to be cancer in the stomach. They found out a little too late and it’s already spreading. Not the entire family knows about it. They thought he has some old problem working up again like before. Even my grandpa doesn’t know about it himself. I don’t want him to know because I don’t want him to give up fighting the battle. Grandma doesn’t know. She will be devastated.
God please give me another chance. I can’t lose him yet. Please.
Maybe i need tou jiang you tiao to cheer me up now i guess.
Oh wells, Get into the festive mood! angpaos later! :)
Finally, BI is over. I feel like I could scream and throw my graduation hat. Thank you johnny for the crash course. I literally learnt everything that morning and vomitted it out during the papers.
Went Fareast with Martin and gang on Friday. (I must say that Mohammad’s hair is out of this world.) Then I met Rudy Andrew and Fabian for dinner + Sabby and Dajie for 2 midnight movies and then breakfast till like 7am on Saturday morning. Oh my. It was a marathon and I can’t believe I survived.
Dream Girls was awesome. At first I thought it was some retarded show like material girls or sth. But it was great. And I ended up being so inspired. (Tell me when the soundtrack is out.) Haa. But some of the singing segments were a little too long and it seems almost too dragy? But oh wells, its still a great show.
And it makes me wonder. Can I ever sing like that? I’m always given so many opportunities but it seems like I just can’t do it or the sound in which I produce isn’t what I thought it to be? (haha). Maybe I’m better just as a backup singer. Somehow I try to make others sound nice but I sound horrible alone. Heh Or maybe there’s a certain mould that defines how we sing in church? So even if I could sing like beyonce, I can’t and I wouldn’t. (But OH I don’t mind a voice like that :)) Maybe a sponsorship for singing lessons would be good. I need a better voice and more confidence.
Please do not watch Ghost rider. It’s chessy! Ha-ha. And i don’t like the idea of having all the demons and stuff. It just makes me feel uneasy. Talk about action? Okay, the motorbike action was great but Oh my, he defeats the bad guy by just the twirling a chain? Ugh! How chessy can it get? ha-ha.
But I’ll give credit for them having Nicolas Cage look so attractively charming in the show. He has officially made it into my list together with Richard Gere, Brandon Routh and Johnny Depp. :)
What a fulfilling day.
Cut my hair for only $10!! at Fareast, met mommy for a shopping spree and had dinner at NYDC. It was fun but I think I totally wore my mum out. ha-ha. She literally had to follow me to 3 Mango outlets to find my size, go high and low to look some Ulu shop at Fareast, and wait so long for me to get into the changing room at Tangs. Blah blah. Heh. But she ended up buying more stuffs then me. So it’s OKAY. :)
I like shopping with my mum. Everything is paid for and money is never an issue as long as it’s worth it. I hate it when I have to give a long speech on why I need something before she buys it. But I admire her because she gives what ever thats in her capacity.
Thank you.
Believe it or not, I have a test tomorrow and I was out shopping. Well done.
Oh wells, hopefully Johnny imparts all that he knows at lunch tmr. But if I end up doing well, Martin will kill me. So how. Haha
Okay whatever. Nonsensical entry.
Random pictures from Sabby's multiply. (Viewers own discretion)
Don't laugh. My grandma bought me that pyjamas.
Yes. yes. face mask.
Hey dumb dumb. Where's my gum gum
New years celebration
Having really bad cravings for Geylang’s dou jiang you tiao right now and the cravings must be satisfied!! i think it going to last for the next few days. I must eat! Someone with a car, pls take me there.
I will feel less grouchy if only I had dou jiang you tiao. :)
Do i really sound that emo? I'm not EMO people!! :)
Valentine’s Day is the only day you can walk around with a bouquet of flower, and no one will say anything about it. It’s the only day when you can be outrages and lay light sticks all over the floor and everyone will think that you are romantic not crazy. It’s the only day you can sell flowers without a license (is that true?) and it’s the only day when couples can embrace one another and it does not become a crime of PDA.
Walk down the Esplanade and you see a whole stretch of couples sitting less than 2m away from one another. Walk down the streets of orchard road and every one seems to be carrying a similar bouquet of flower. ‘Very Romantic MEH’ ha-ha
Strange but true. Its valentine’s so we forgive them. :)
What’s with everyone selling flowers? It’s everywhere already.
Next Valentine’s? I’ll invest in a Polaroid camera and go round taking pictures for everyone. Only $5 per shot.(That depends on how much the camera and film cost) and since it’s a special occasion, trust me, people will pay. Or maybe I can get someone to wear a mascot and allow people to take a picture with it. Heh. Oh! and since flowers and teddy bears are such a hit on Valentine’s, fine. I’ll offer those with each shot on a bundled price. Lastly, take my earnings and give myself a retail therapy session. It shall be done.
From Holland Village to the Swimming Club. From the Swimming Club to Fullerton. From Fullerton to Esplanade. From Esplanade to Shaw center and almost to Kallang’s KFC. But thanks Jack for making your Place available. You sure know how to burn a huge hole.
Special thanks to the bougainvillea along the road side for making everything else complete.
Thank you! I know you've tried. And it was good enough for me. :) It really is.
I want to watch the Phantom of the Opera.
Counting down to Valentine’s Day.
How will it be, I don’t know. We’ll see. And believe me when I say I’ve never really “celebrated” it before. Ha-ha
Send in my application for NTU and NIE. I’ve yet to do so and the closing date is 21 Feb. Possibility of getting in? I doubt so. But I hope to. Pls pls pls.
Study for BI. Where to begin?
All that stress last few weeks made me snack so much. So, time to lose some weight. It’s getting hard to breathe. (And I so happen to be eating bakua now. Very helpful indeed)
And I feel like dog food. Meyer is circling round me. But good thing I’m the boss so I get to wave that flap of meat in front of him. He seems desperate Haa
Maybe I need retail therapy? :P Any sponsors?
The whole zone is undergoing a major restructuring.
Change is good.
So hello Jasper, my new cell leader and goodbye Sabby who is such a great role model. hello Jul, my best friend turned new co-partner. Oh and hello Vincent.
Hopefully we find that we can complement each other’s weaknesses. It will be a total nightmare if Jul and I had a disagreement. It would be awful.
Yeah I cried about it.
It wasn’t so much of me being affected that I’m leaving for another cell. But it’s more of being disappointed if no one actually misses me while I’m gone or if it doesn’t really matter to them. Maybe if someone else goes over, the story would be different. Even those coming with me, it seems almost unwilling. Yes, the issue might not be me but it made me question my ability as a leader. I can’t even keep my flock safe. Maybe I’m just a background worker or maybe I just need assurance that I have impacted some people to say that they will stand by me. Oh wells, change is good. I’m not being emo. :)

It’s time clean up my room. The table is piled up with notes and my bed is not made for the past few weeks. Such an eyesore. And my mommy is complaining.
Tmr is the final and last tutorial EVER in TP. So I’ll be there for sentimental reason. Ha-ha. It’s a strange feeling.
Say goodbye to sleepless nights and a give pat on the back for a job well done.
We had our DP retreat over the weekend. It was a good one and the teachings were great. But I couldn’t help but struggle to keep awake cause my eye lids were sticking together and my eyeballs were rolling. Ha-ha Oh wells. I still managed to keep awake in the end.
It was at change chalet K. Oh my. Never ever go there. I repeat. Never go there. It’s so ululated! The entire bungalow chalet is standing on its own with no other chalet units beside it. And right behind us was OCH. Ha-ha. Oh we were literally feeding mosquitoes right from the very first day we were there. My legs now look like a map with red dots. Heh How attractive. I couldn’t help but draw circles on them ha-ha. And the toilet! Oh my. I think I’m too pampered haha but you can’t blame me. The toilet walls were brown and scary. And the mirror reflects the window which is facing the forested area. Uhh! At least they have hot water. This didn’t turn out to be very hot either haha. (Aiyo, Lavonne… how to go mission trip)
Anyways, I was in charged of food. So I prepared dinner and breakfast for everyone. I think I did better at dinner? (With Janice’s help of course) Hopefully everyone ate well and thought it was nice. Ha-ha. It was such a hassle cooking for a group of about 10+. The wok and the pots were so huge and I felt as though I was cooking for an entire camp. On sat, we had our BBQ finale. Dom and I set up the fire and we thought it was the best fire ever. But it was so hot that everything we put burnt right away. Woops Haha. Everyone agreed that it was the best BBQ ever because we literally wiped out all the food and fast. It was like cooking non-stop and before we knew it, we had our fingers swollen and burnt. Mine was like a red sausage finger. And poor Dom was using his hand so his knuckles were all red. Rongjie’s belt buckle could cook an egg Haha. Quite hilarious actually. Okay, all that cooking really exhausted me. But Delia’s sms made it all worth while. She said that it’s a blessing for whoever who marries me and he better be worth it. Haha
Okay, boring entry! So long winded :)
Woohoo. It’s ONE DOWN.
My eye bags are getting worse, I haven’t slept, dozed off in class this morning and I’m having a tummy ache. Maybe I’ve been eating too much junk instead of normal food. Especially when you find Kinder Buenos value pack for ONLY $2.95 at NTUC!! (TP sells it for $3.40) But anyways, I can’t remember what my last meal was too. :)
Oh and Finally! Handed in one of my assignments this morning, so it’s 2 more to go, exams and I’m done. Oh Then it’s going to be goodbye TP.
Actually I don’t think I’m really attached to the people there? But the thought of graduating makes me sad somehow. I Guess I will miss things like,
- Irritating Martin and “blogging” to him all day, over the years. That raddish head!
- Having Tushan scold me all the time and driving out to ‘makan’ with the rest
- Junwen’s aloof-ness and his not so funny jokes
- Qin sheng who is always there to talk for fun. oh and together with Gary in their Q2 will kill you nonsense
- Joyce, my partner in crime at IBM, and always answering my questions in the wee hours at night.
- Uncle wong’s private tuition center. “ti ko”
- Ah tan, for being so blur always and being my friend over the last 3 years
- Being in the same lab as Eileen. The ‘siao char bo’ from the other side of the planet.
- Irritating RaymoNA.
- Jocelyn, Pei lian, wei ling etc etc for just being nice. Or people like Winnie who laughs with me for no apparent reason
- People who always calls me Miss Lam in the past. Okay every one calls me that even now.
- etc etc etc
I think all of them are strange people. haha interesting personalites i mean. And I bet they think I am too, but oh wells. :) Now let’s see. What is the probability that we will meet again. Errm. I guess probably never?! Oh man so sad. Wow and looking at the list.. I have so little friends! Haha think I missed out a lot but it’s still little. Even those listed out are not really so close. They have their own cliques? UHHH Stop emo-ing Lavonne. haha.
My class. How nice, we're having pizza together using the class fund. Haa and dear martin wanted to give it charty at first.
Meet the other group
People say we are two crazy woman. Really? maybe i should let the pictures do the talking

I’ve officially been working all day on my assignment so that I can submit before 9a.m. tomorrow morning. Why must TP set such a weird timing?
My biological clock has all gone wrong. Sleeping at 6a.m, waking up at 10am and working non-stop till its 6a.m in the morning again, has almost become part of my life. It comes to a point whereby I say to myself daily, Oh, its morning already…..
Need to get back in shape :)
Meeting Vincent later to do grocery shopping for the retreat. I won’t be there almost the whole of today and tmr, so I’ll have to prepare the food so that no one starves! :) And I’m cooking dinner on Friday evening as well as Sat and Sun morning. So let’s just hope no one leaves with a tummy ache. (haha) Oh wells, it shouldn’t be, cuz my cooking has been tested and proven. Yup it is. Oh and good thing I have my fellow ‘aunties’ and ‘uncles’ who offered to help.
Till then
Slept at 5.30 this morning and I’m only done with 1 write-up. And now I have to rush to school for major project presentation.
Reminder to self:
- 3 more write ups
- POT journal
- BI reflection
- BI critique
- Peer evaluate
- BI test
- SAP test.
- DP retreat (food, grocery shopping blah blah)
- Email logistic what to prepare for retreat
- Update worship ministry contact list for Andrew
Sometimes I wonder why I even bother helping others lighten their load and plan for stuffs when I don’t even have enough time myself. (Haha) Oh wells, its all for the kingdom. Yes it is. :)
Just a little more.
Came home from school,
Walked Meyer (more like the other way round),
Bathed Meyer,
Mopped the floor,
Took a bath,
Caught a glimpse of “goong” (My mum was watching. Cant help but peep)
And finally time to start on my assignment.
Sabby, if you ever read this, I’m so sorry for being “in-active” in cell this few weeks or rather months. I really want to give my fullest support, but unlike you I can’t just resign my “job” (haha) although I would love to. I barely have time to think about other stuff. So bare with me! It will be over soon.
Too many things, so little time. Wish I could have more than 24 hours a day. :)
It’s the final lap of my school term in TP. Everything seems to be happening so fast that somehow I find it hard to breathe. We all think that it’s going to be over, but somehow, more starts to pile in.
I’m starting to feel tired and drained. When will it ever end?
For now, there’s really nothing I can do. Still such a long way to go and I can’t seem to see where the finishing line is.
It’s like deadlines after deadlines. And although Final Year project is over (which is like a Major load off my chest), here comes stupid BI and POT. Oh and not forgetting the tests and Exams. Big sigh for that.
There is a difference between wanting to do the project and knowing how to. Sadly for things like BI, I don’t know how to. So where do I begin.
Oh wells. Think of it that way, that one last march with a final shout of victory and the walls of Temasek Poly will come tumbling down. YES.
As much as I hate the stress and the school, I think I’ll miss it just as much.
SO PRESS IN. I CAN DO IT
Right.. This has never felt so weird.
Never thought blogging can be so "engaging" and I definitely can’t imagine myself spending all night trying to figure this out. Haha
I seriously think that I’m living in some dinosaur age or something. When everyone thinks that blogging is starting to be obsolete, here I am, posting my very first entry.
Oh wells, maybe I’m putting too many restrictions over my life. It’s always the case about; I can’t do this, I can’t do that. And if I do, what would people think and how will it lower my standards? Whatever it is, I often find myself in a box that I’m desperately trying to break out of. Yes, it doesn’t really make much sense, but trust me, it’s real. :)
But I guess some things are never too late. Who cares if I’m the last one on earth to start blogging? Who cares if my friendster has only 19 friends? (haha) At least I’m starting somewhere. But I sometimes wonder where that “starting somewhere” will take me. Will I still blog or manage my friendster till I’m 25? When Or I’m about to get married?
Like what Eugene Krabs says: “No-bady knows…” haha maybe I can’t even last a few months, we’ll see.
I’m a blogger now. Haha how original. It sounds so strange. Like a taboo word. Okay, I shouldn’t contradict myself already.
Till then.
okay. Test test.
Thanks poonam. if you'll ever read this. :)
