The Hunger Games

is a deliciously addicting series of novels to read!

As thrilling as Malorie Blackman's Noughts and Crosses series, centred around political oppression and the hunger for justice.

An easy read but beautifully scripted which moves me to tears at some parts and sends adrenaline coursing through my veins at others.

Sigh....the awkward moment when you're done reading a really good book and realise your life is over.

And no, I have not watched the movie yet.

Erik's so adorable!

Yes, I do understand that he is a fictional penguin and real ones smell funny.

Anyway, I've been addicted to the song 'Under Pressure' by Queen. I heard it first from the musical 'We Will Rock You' and 'Happy Feet 2' before I heard the original. They are all awesome.

Um boom ba de, um boom ba da de

And just because these lyrics....

'Cause love's such an old fashioned word

And love dares you to care for,

The people on the edge of the night,

And loves dares you to change our way of,

Caring about ourselves,

This is our last dance,

This is our last dance,

This is ourselves.

...are so much better than these...

If you cute than your crew can roll

If you sexy eat my Koo-Koo-Roo

Put ya cape on, you a super hoe

2012, Im at the superbowl

Stupid hoes is my enemy

stupid hoes is so wack

Stupid hoe shoulda befriended me

Then she coulda prolly came back!

Where'd all the love go?

Got myself a...

little black dress!
Sunnies were free...complimentary from the programme 'paint'

...along with a couple of vintage looking pendants. I legally own, through approved transaction of currencies, the bird-cage and high-wheel bicycle (Penny-farthing it's called. Bet you didn't know that.)

It was a dozen

...red long stem roses. Merci, mon cheri, for the surprise.

In the words of Bon Jovi, "Thank you, for loving me". Tu es l'amour de ma vie.

P/S Shredded my fingers from the nasty thorns trying to arrange them in my glass/vase. Doesn't the random French phrases make the post just that much more classy =)

Makes me happy 14 =)

I've been seeing the 365 thanksgiving project going around and thought of starting one myself. After letting the clockwork in my head tick a little bit more, I realised that I've already got my own! 'Cept I called it 'Makes me Happy =)'

This week, it's gotta be...

...the love that fuels my way up Primrose Hill...(although that love requires constant feeding with free meals.)

Am proud to say I successfully baked a peanut butter and jelly brownie-like cake. Deliciousness! Thank God for baking =)

Last but not least...thank GOD I get to see my family this summer.

Makes me happy 13 =)

Things I do that don't make sense to regular people

1. Cook a crappy, 5 minute dinner with half a pack of instant noodles, fresh veg and some other random ingredient (e.g. ravioli/gnocchi/ham); then eat it while salivating over cook books.
   
   Ah...food porn
   
   
2. Stare into space with my mouth hanging open...believe me when i say my mind goes blank...cause it goes blank.
   
   ........
   
   
3. Reduce the temperature of my room to that comparable of the polar areas - then build a fort with my hundreds of pillows - wrap myself up with 3 blankets - and read a good book.
   
   Mmm...delicious
   
   
4. Compile a playlist of my favourite songs as hundreds of youtube website tags, and sing for hours!
   
   Can't stop me!

Makes me happy 9 =)

A really OLD (lol) and special friend mentioned me in her blog...=)

Thanks, Lin...Really made my day!

And I wanna thank Lea for being my the most amazing friend in the world. And reminding me of our sweet memories.

E.g. 1. walking together under the rain while my sandal was torn. Then she tied my sandal with one of her shoe's lace. Haha! Then we walked home. I was dragging myself home and not walking! LoL...I remember this =) BUY PROPER SHOES!!!

2. walking to art class and then eating ice cream while walking back home in the evening. I remember you weren't very good at...drawing...=X HAHA

3. Playing pintar-pintas at the church while having "picnic". Omgosh...around the orange rocks and on the swings...it's so strange how we were so easily entertained

4. Waiting for you every morning for you to open the gate so that we can go to school together. and 80% of the time I'd be late...

5. Involved in an accident together, remember? Bon Bon Cat. Lol! Yeah, couldn't talk during the ride home and cried my eyes out when I got home...got a massive shock. I never asked how you took it!

6. Dining in Italian Coffee Bean, went to ITC tuition and then you kept on complaining how much you hated BM. Food there was crap...except for the waffles XD I still love the artifical drinks, I still hate BM AND i hated ITC... Is not there anymore, is it?

7. We did quarrel and you said you don't want to friend me (X1000000 times) Lol! This is lame!!!!! Now this I don't remember! haha, that must be weird. i must've hurt you bad cause you still remember it. lol

8. Going to Parkson together. Don't know do what there. =p still doing it, mate...still doing it.

9. Taking lame photos together while we were wearing dress. Hey, i still have that dress til now. And of course...we're still doing it...

10. We went to church together and we were playing at the back. == you ended up being a regular goer of that church! shhh....

10 sweet and lame memories should be enough i guess. Haha! Some were so embarrassing moments. =p

My turn then!

1. The times I went to your house for tuition...we pretended to be headmasters of a school and kept track of every student! LoL, we were bossy...
2. Discovering IRC and having the lamest times of our pathetic teenage lives talking to thecrappiest people! Haha.
3. Walking about in front of the kindergarten talking about God knows what...
4. You with your umbrella...it's always open wherever we go! I always try to act cool and boyish and pretended I didn''t care about getting tanned...actually, i did. XP
5. Playing cards in your house during Chinese New Years! and eating all your food...haha
6. Seeing you at the back of my house as you use the toilet!!!! Can't believe we used to have conversations over the balcony. Was it you or your sis who uses the potty on that balcony??? hm....
7. oh gosh, in your living room, dancing to Westlife!!! Embarrassing....! but we were so high XD
8. Watching that korean or japanese horror movie one afternoon...the stairs, or something like that. Geez, scared the %^&* out off me....=D you and your freakish love for horror movies.
9. Driving around town aimlessly trying to get to dessert shops to McDonalds to Taman Muhibah...We're lucky we're still alive...x.X
10. Talking about all the guys who you terpancing...if there's such a word! haha. Each time I ask, there must be at least 5 of them! Alvin, you better hold on tight to her cause the world wants her. If you take her for granted, I'll bash you up.

We each have our share of different 'close' friends. We seldom were in the same classes, we don't even spend recesses together! Our paths are headed towards different directions. But somehow, they cross so much we can't shake each other off (no matter how had I try....jk!!). Unlike many things in our lives that come and go, we'll never be able to get rid of each other ><

=)

Makes me happy 6 =)

Getting smothered under a tonne of pillows and blankits.

That's why I have 5 pillows, 2 blankits and one feather duvet on a single bed...and teddy. Tee hee. Thank GOD for pillows!!

And yes, I DID purposely misspell blanket.

I love 'em to bits! Jen, Cyn, Shirley, CMN, Siing Lin....

To have these girls care for me so much is just awesome.

You guys are the Charlotte, Samantha, Miranda, Monica and Rachel in my life.

Makes me happy 5 =)

Pigging out with my flatmates in front of a laptop watching chick flicks....

Seriously, the photos showed the exact same meals we had over the past month....

Gotta get back to writing an essay on the alternative treatments of minor respiratory tract disorders...whilst experiencing acute rhinitis myself...*sneeze*...otherwise...

=)

Makes me happy 4 =)

Jogging in Regent's park in SPRING! It's so gorgeous. Baby leaves sprouting from tree branches; blossoms spring out by the hundreds, looking like fluffy clouds....

Pure bliss....!

...My favourite spot...

...Completely cloudless...

Knowing that a beautiful place like this exists shocked me to the core. I'm ashamed to admit it, but sometimes I underestimated how amazing our God actually is.

I have made it a dream and hope now to one day visit this amazing little spot on earth.

=)

Makes me 'not' happy =(

Imperfections are a total bugger...my internal organs twitch at the sight of things that are out of place. A cup left out by someone, unwashed dishes in the sink, pens that are not arranged according to size, colour and usability.

So of course, every time I see myself in the mirror, I need to fight the urge to jump off a tall buildilng...in hope of convincing the surgeons who are realigning my spinal cords...to rearrange my face to look more appealing and to reconstruct my disproportionate body to look like Kate Moss'.

I was a clumsy child (still am, actually!). I am left with unattractive scars all over me. But thank God, I was given the ability to walk, hop, run into lamp posts!

My hair is a mass of tangled twigs that not even birds would consider fit as their nest. But thank God I'm not bald! No offence to the principals of Methodist Secondary School...

I have crap metabolism! A piece of fudge will require a 10km marathon to burn off. Otherwise, they'd just conveniently convert their sugary self into fat globules and settle in places I don't even think is appropriate to mention.

You know the process....But thank God as He has provided me with food on my plate and water to drink.

I hate having to wear glasses/contact lenses all day. But thank God I have the gift of sight! And one day, maybe the gift of lasic surgery from my parents XD

I absolutely LOATHE being short and chubby. It destroys me knowing that I will never be
perceived as beautiful...Even buying a pair of pants causes dilemma and so much pain...knowing this or that girl will look better in it and I'll just look like a lump of potato.

...not the most attractive thing in the world...

It's really, really difficult to be thankful...especially when living in a world which prizes beauty and material above all else.

But then, there was this ONE man who was willing to die for a lump of potato like me. So, I will live for Him, and for Him alone. So, in your face, world!

So every Sunday, I dress my best, knowing I am heading for a place that I will not be judged by anyone. I try my best to remember that I am worthy enough for God's love and sacrifice.

Happy Easter 2010 =D

I suppose I should get off the the top of Big Ben now and go home...
