Photo memorabilia

Ok, here are the photos I promised of the many lovely-looking people in my life. ( i.e. my friends and family..)

First up, my two delightful brothers, JT1 and JT2. They are undoubtedly, the loves of my life, the apples of my eye, the kings of my heart, the pinnacles of my existence, the.. you get the idea.. Extremely cheeky, sneaky and full of the most ludicrously naughty ideas, they also have the ability to be so incredibly lovable and just so darn cute!!! Gosh, I miss them so much already!

Now if I can only figure out how to upload a video of them onto this wretched thing!

This, on the other hand.. is 'cun' girls galore! These are my beloved girlfriends and we've formed an unbreakable sisterhood ever since we were about 16. (well, at least I think it's 16) Anyway, these hot chicks are up and ready for grabs (well, at least most of them are anyway) so if any of you want an introduction, let me know! Haha.. They're not only hip, trendy, successful and fabulous, they're also super-nice, sweet (well, most of the time anyway) and overall, fantastic friends!

Standing: MY (yes, she's the one who fell asleep reading this blog..sighh..), me and AK. Sitting: EC, KSA and TEV.


Shades of purple... yeah, that's what we
titled this photo. (Think M2M!!) WPY and WPL are children of my parents' old family friends, Dr W and Dr C. We've known them since we were little and I'm glad we got to know them well. We're seen here after a fantastic international buffet at Sheraton Hotel. I didn't think it was the best, but everyone else loved it so oh well.. L-R: My sis, WPL, me, mum and WPY.

Finally, tonight's the last night for my housemates and I.. They're leaving tomorrow for home (yes, they have a proper summer holiday and I'm here, slogging through lousy classes..) and will be going to different places next year for their postgrad course. JC's going to Bristol and SK will be in London. We had a good run this year and I'm kinda going to miss them. Hehe.. (Think I'll miss JC's obsessive cleaning the most!)

My new housemates will be moving in soon, and to be honest, I'm feeling rather apprehensive. Not cos' they're bad people or anything, just cos' I'm a worrywart and I'm just worried that things won't run as smoothly as they did this previous year. Oh well.. we'll just have to wait and see..

So that's it in terms of lovely photos of lovely-looking people. As you've already guessed, the 'lovely-looking person' I was referring to was of course, me, since I'm in each and everyone of these pics! Haha.. Enjoy!!

So long, farewell..

Parting is such sweet sorrow..

William clearly had no idea what he was talking about when he 'said' that..

I've just bade farewell to dear WS after a weekend of crazy unpacking, grocery shopping, shifting and feeling not quite so well.. He's travelling back to his place and will be leaving for home next week - which means, I won't be seeing him for a good 5-6 weeks!!! Sigh.. I'm feeling sorrowful, alright.. and I'm still waiting for the 'sweet' part to come. So far, no sign of it at all..

These past 3 days have been laden with sad goodbyes.. On Friday, at the airport, thankfully there were no teary farewells as I waved goodbye to my parents. (Ok, so all feelings of grief were quickly replaced by dread at the thought of spending 14 hours in a lousy economy-class seat, but the flight was indeed terrible, so my apprehension was indeed warranted!!) Nevertheless, I did feel very sad for having to leave home after such a short trip and I miss home so much now!!!

I'm still waiting for the 'sweet' part to come..

This is my happy family!! (minus dad, he's taking the picture!)

P/S: A shoutout to my dear friend TS, Happy Birthday!!!

Losing the will to blog?

It is every writer's dream to have his/her work not just recognized, but well-appreciated as well.. Alas, I have failed miserably in this aspect, and am pondering as to whether I should just pack my bags and leave blogville for good. Haha.. ok, so that might be slightly exaggerated, but I'm sorry to say that tonight, I found out that my blog has achieved the ultimate in blog history - it now is able to put people to sleep!! Not just any ordinary 'people', but one of my best friends, no less!

I went out for dinner tonight with my 5 'ji mui' - so-called sisters, (which basically means close girlfriends who do more than just gossip about the latest in people's lives or talk about the best places to hang out) and I found out, to my utter dismay, that the closest to me among them all, MY, apparently spent a good 5-10 minutes or so falling asleep whilst reading my 'wonderful' blog.. Apparently, the only good thing she had to say was that she liked the colours! Gosh, it's nice to know that at least I'm doing something right..

I guess this brings me back to the whole 'do I write for myself or for the people who read me' issue that I mentioned the other day.. (oh, here it is, if u wanna have a read.. I doubt u will.. :( )I had already made my decision, by the way, which was to continue being self-absorbed and focus on just me, (me being the narcissist that I am..) but tonight's events are making me think twice.

So maybe I've been writing crap of late, but that's what the 'My Favourites' section is there for, really! It's so that newcomers browsing past my blog can have a look at my 'better' works and judge me based on that, rather than the nonsensical bullshit that I seem to be so fond of lately. Well, there it is, my defence.. haha.. pretty lame? I sure as hell hope not..

So the question remains.. or rather, has resurfaced.. sighh.. just when I thought I had things figured out! Geez... I was hoping someone out there would enjoy reading my lovely scribblings, unfortunately, no one's step up yet! (Gosh, I sound like a pathetic fool! No way, this isn't me! I need to be bullish on bouncing back!! And bounce back I will!!!!!!!!)

Anyway, to further examplify the crap that I'm seemingly brilliant at, I'm currently at home, enjoying the luxuries life has to offer.. It is heavenly, I tell you! Not having to worry about work/school/schoolwork, cooking, cleaning, washing, (and the list goes on..) Ooh, don't forget the joys of actually being able to afford material things! Haha.. I've been spending most of my time at home with my family, especially my two little adorable brothers, and just basically, enjoying life. Sadly, my pleasure is short-lived, as I am due back in crummy ol' UK by the end of the week... Wish I could stay longer.. so what if I miss my dermatology attachment?

That's it from me.. my long-awaited post? Haha... Will be back soon with pictures of my lovely time at home, with lovely-looking people too (hopefully!). Ooh, I almost forgot: apologies to my close friends who I so surely promised that I was to turn into a full-fledged blogwhore and spend my days at home blogging.. Unfortunately, I forgot to take into account the fact that at home, I'm having too much fun to be worried about this ol' blog!!!
