Rumours & Gossip

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” - Dr. Seuss


I'm sure everyone of you reading this has either been involved in gossip and/or rumours.

Recently, someone had heard from someone else something really unkind about myself. When it reached my ears, all I did was laugh. Honestly, gossip facinates me. The things you never knew you did or said eventually  become something you did. Hearing the things you never knew about yourself, it can be quite funny yet, not everyone takes it as lightly as I do. I've had friends who took things really bad, they cried, attempted suicide, did whatever you can actually think of.

"I honestly don't know which is more pathetic. People who gossip, or people who listen to gossip."

The thing is, what goes around may not necessarily be the truth. You know it yourself, you know what exactly happened so if it's untrue, do not get upset about it. Or at least try.

Here's to all the haters out there:

Stay happy! xx

Believe

Madness

Madness,
is really strange.

It passes over me
in a whimsical blur

I laugh
I sing
I dance

but
I cry myself to sleep

Madness,
is pretending
you're perfectly okay.

-AKR.

Escape

You spent your whole life
stuck in the ladyrinth,
thinking
how you'll escape one day,
and how awesome it will be,
and imagining
that future keeps you going,
but you never do it.
You just use the future
to escape
the present.

Life

is too ironic to fully understand.
It takes sadness to know
what happiness is.
Noise
to appreciate silence
& absence
to value presence.

Inhale, exhale

You cross my mind.
Alot.
More times than I'd like to admit.

You seem to have taken up permanent residence,
making your home
in the deepest corners of my mind.
And sometimes,
I get caught up in my head
losing myself in the colour of your eyes.

Even in my head,
I'm helpless.

and I've to remind myself to breathe.

You

I've spent hours contemplating

the words to say to you

but no combination
of 26 different letters

could ever accurately capture

even a silver

of what this feeling is

2013 - New Year

It's already the 9th day of 2013, I can't believe a week flew pass just like that. It's as though we were still counting down to 2013 just yesterday.

This year, I decided not to party on New year's eve cos it was so crowded even on the roads at only 7PM. I was so frustrated I cancelled all my party plans and instead, headed to Kimkai's place for mj. But we ended up playing wii instead. Which was so much more fun?! No regrets! 

Baby Deleon! He's sucha cutie pie, I swear. Awww~

1st of January is also my bff, Jiemin's birthday. We decided to surprise her but I ruined it cos I was 2 hours late... as usual :( Damn. Old habits die hard. 

The only person I trust with all my deepest darkest secrets, who listens to my pointless drama over and over again. Who cries when she sees me cry, who's always there for me regardless. Even though we no longer live together, please know that you're always in my heart & mind. All the time. Love you more than words can say. Happy belated blessed birthday babygirl! xx

Even though this year's new year was so much more simple then expected, I'm glad I got to celebrate it with the people I love. And that's all that matters.

Hope it's not too late to wish y'all a very very happy new year!

Penny for your thoughts

"The word love is really overused. Love is often confused with passion, infatuation, and/or comfort. You've gotten used to being with this person, so you think you love them. You'd miss them if they were gone, so you think you love them. This person makes you all sorts of horny, so you think you love them.

 Love is a mature feeling. Love is when you care more about the other person's feelings than you do your own. Love is blind trust in your partner because they've earned it. Love is when you're willing to sacrifice your own ego to let your partner win a fight - even though they're wrong. If you're both in love, these sacrifices and trusts will run both ways. If only one partner is making this commitment, it's more of an abusive relationship. It has to be a two-way street.

So, all of that being said, do you really believe that the two of you are in love?"

Read this online and thought it was worth a thought.

Christmas celebrations 2012

Every year during Christmas my family & relatives would plan gatherings for us to catch up & exchange presents. No doubt Christmas is one of my favourite occasions (who doesn't like receving gifts anyway?). This year was no different, I had plans laid out for me all week with my friends & family.

A couple of days before Christmas we headed over to Jiahao's place for a mini gathering...

My very comfy outfit since we were gna be staying in... Hehe ^^

It's like a Christmas "tradition" to have gifts exchanged every year, so of course everyone came with a gift!

We decided on having potluck so it would be fair for everyone. I was surprised that everyone really put in the effort and everything was homemade!  

And what everyone had been anticipating for...

Finally, we drew lots to pick out our presents! I decided to be a pain in the ass and wrapped my presents up with my layers of newspaper. Can you guess who got my presents? Hehehe.

There were body washes, pillows, sweets, cigarettes, mugs, bras, slippers, piggybanks, and even toilet brushes.

No prizes for guessing what I got. *smirk*

Yong Li received a hellokitty toy and you absolutely cannot imagine how happy I was when he gave it to me!!! Wanted to give him my present in exchange for it but he refused. Happy girl is happy. Tee hee! Thank you, Yong Li!!!

Vinnette :)

Spent the rest of the night talking/gambling/singing & just chillin'.

Wish some of them weren't working the next day so they could stay longer :( Nonetheless, I had fun!

Spent the morning of Christmas eve with my papa cos I rarely get to see him. My parents decided to accompany me to shop for last minute Christmas gifts & we headed over to one of my aunt's place. Left shortly after cos I had a gathering with the Wong's. 

Other than Christmas, 25 Dec is also my granny's birthday. 

She's already 70+ 80, but she still looks so young! I was shocked when she reminded me how old she was. Always remembered her as 50+. Ha ha ha. 

Happy belated birthday, Grandma! :*

Headed over to one of my relatives place before making my way down to Pasir Ris for JJ's birthday celebration.

Happy belated birthday, JJ! :)

Was so happy I finally got to catch up with them. 

Part of my presents this year. Didn't have a chance to take a picture of the rest cos I was so excited to tear them open I forgot to snap a photo of them first. Oopsie!

// The phone is being a bitch again so I can't upload pictures from the other days. Guess this will suffice for now.

Hope y'all had an awesome Christmas & a happy new year! ^^

New year's resolution?

Ugh. Been procastinating waaaaaaay toooooo muuuuuuuchhhhh.
There's so many things I've yet to blog about, but I've been so lazy busy. *Pulls hair*

It has finally come to the end of another year again, and every other year I'd write a list of New Year's resolutions. This year, I decided not to. To be really honest, I've been writing resolutions for as far as I can rmb, but I've never stuck to them. Ever. Is anybody else like this? Or is it just me lacking of discipline? :/

This year seemed to have passed by way too quickly, but then again don't we all say that every year?
Owell, cheers to a new year!

"Erase the heartaches; throw away the old problems, start the new year with a smile."
