May Ends

May seemed like a very, very long month!~ Just does.

Assignments have been flying in and out this month. I'm glad tomorrow's Wesak Day meaning I have one day extra to relax a little, do miscellaneous tasks and not freak out from overwork.

As some of you might know I was in Aussie from the 13th-23rd. The trip was brilliant but because my photo uploader on blogspot is pms-ing at the moment, please keep an eye open for my FB updates.
Small bew cheh's wedding was just so much fun! Simple but amazing. Overseas people are so lucky because they get to get married in a PROPER church, stained glass, choir and all. Plus they get to have Western style dinner! WY and I cried during the dinner because we were just so overwhelmed with emotion. (LOL it's as if I'm marrying off my own daughter!) 

Very unfortunately, I've only been to the Chinese wedding dinners held at night and very rarely, yum cha sessions. Matt (my cousin in law) was awfully sporting to 'cham cha' to the elders! Even addressed the elders using the Chinese terms while serving tea. Seems that it isn't really a trend to hold a ceremony to say I dos in M'sia. It was a really beautiful moment, like before man and God, you vow to be faithful, love and honour each other. Nice.

Meeting up with family especially for these special moments is just great! Finally, got to meet my niece, Livie, who is 2 this year. Long way to go...

Melbourne trip was so crazy exciting, it's still lingering on today. Was just an awesome Saturday going to the market, Lalat's burrow, Melb zoo, omGG the aquarium and a nice dinner to wrap it up.

Needed the holiday. The day prior to flying I was on the verge of suffering a nervous breakdown. But I suppose it's ok now.

Every weekend from now, there's going to be an engagement. Another wedding too! It's most special because this is the first 'friend' (a very good friend, at that) wedding I'm attending and finally, I was asked to fill in the role as a 'ji mui' (wow debut moment).

Anyways, the excitement is just beginning. I think it's going to be a crazy month up till end of August!
5th June   : Mum's birthday, Ipoh. Also Suju concert in Singapore.
12th June : The ONLY weekend in a long time I'll have time to work on projects.
19th June : Jo's birthday, JB & Singapore.
26th June : Cindy's Wedding, KL.
3rd July   : Cosfest, Singapore.
10th July : WY's graduation, Kampar. Thinking of diving at Redang/Pangkor on Sunday.
17th July : C2Age & Bon Odori, KL.
24th July : Final project weekend. End of sem 2. Yay.
31st July : London & Paris
7th Aug  : London & the surrounding towns.
14th Aug : Prepare to go to school for sem 3.

If they ask me to travel anywhere in September, I would gladly pass. (Mum's obsessed about going to Italy this year). I'm most probably going to say no to Hong Kong too. Wants to get some proper work done and I don't like to be separated from Cupcake more than a day.

Wish I could just stay at home and laze, not think about anything and not be expected to do anything up until December! How time flies.

Nightmare Coming True..

Today my sis was reading to me this to me from the Sapphire Pearls website:-

Super Junior will be coming to Singapore on the 6th next month.

WHAT?! Crazy surprise concert all of a sudden?!~ Mother's birthday on the 5th more important or Suju concert more important? Both. I swore I would attend Suju's Singapore concert if they ever had one. But this is like crazy soon!!!!

What makes it unbelievable is that, though the show hasn’t even planned and fans are thinking that they won’t see their idols for a long time, yesterday, SingTel announced on the net that SJ will be having a show later.

I didn't expect to see them for at least the next 2 YEARS!!! So last minute this stupid sponsors... Same thing happened with SS501. People need to plan travel, accommodation and transport in advance. You think so easy.

In order to concert with the new phone model of Korean brand Samsung, two big companies invited the popular group SJ, to find two free days in their tightly packed 4 Jib promotion schedule, and hold a closed concert in Singapore.

You bet their schedule is tight. Hope negotiations fail and the concert gets postponed till at least end of the year.

The official web has posted ‘Watch Super Junior’s show in Singapore’, arousing a lot of fan’s attention. Although the website hasn’t yet announced the details of SJ’s coming concert, according to reliable sources, after attending the MBC Music Core on the 5 June, SJ will immediately go to Singapore, holding the first concert there on the 6. 

SM wanna work them to death is it?! That means they have to leave on a night plane after the Music Core performance and arrive in Singapore in the morning and perform in the evening and fly back the next day!

Super Junior who debuted in 2005 held two Asia world tours, and has been to many different places like Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and even Kuala Lumpa, but had never been to Singapore. And now this time they will be going there, however, according to news, only 1600 people are lucky enough to watch their show this time.

Kuala Lumpa. *snort* Lucky wor. Who pay, who watch lor.

The web also mentioned that this exclusive concert only allows the first 800 buyers of the new phone, who had the concerts tickets to watch the show. That means, after the long waiting, there will still be a lot of fans be disappointed, and unable to watch SJ’s performance.

Wah, like that also can?! Samsung THAT desperate for buyers meh. Like holding the tickets as ransom and the bloody phone is not cheap. Damn how to buy tickets.

Only 9 people going, Siwon will not be attending.

*pause* Ok, means no need to go. 

This will be the first time Super Junior visits Singapore, but there will be only 9 members going, so the fans would not be able to meet Siwon who has just done an operation. Siwon was sent to the hospital due to inflammation of salivary gland, though he had quickly resume his schedule and continued the promotion of the new album, he won’t be going to Singapore.

Oh mona. Poor darling. SM working him to death. Grrr. Since he's not attending, means I have one weekend less to travel. Sigh. See you again in 2 years time. Lol.

Distinctive Eyebrows

I've always loved them subconsciously throughout the years. LOL.

I promise myself I have to smile and be happy everyday from now onwards. Happiness is something you need to constantly fight for. Even after attaining it, you'll have to continue fighting to preserving it. Yup, sounds so tedious!

Maybe one in ten days, there are those moments, you're just incapable of happiness based on your own efforts. You're either tired, fed up or listless. That is when that special someone just pops by at the right moment (God knows how) and brightens up your day. Like wow.

Tipsy Rambles

Half of me is filled with a great potential of happiness, the other half is also filled with genuine sadness. I came to recognize that they coexist. Sometimes when I experience a happy event, I will be reminded of the existing sadness, and the vice versa happens; happiness to sooth out my sadness. I supposed that makes me quite a balanced person..

Most of the time, I'm capable of letting out a hearty appreciative laugh when I'm with certain people. After that temporary high, I revert to being calm and collected, most of the time lost in thoughts. 

I think I've mellowed over the years. Life is increasingly serious. Sometimes I feel that I won't be able to be truly joyful for a permanent period in my life. Right now, my joyful moments are just bits and pieces I constantly collect. It's like fuel to a car, they are essential to keep the car moving but has to be constantly filled up.

In a way I'm glad that I've found back some footing in my passion in art, design, craft, cosplay and games. Really good way to keep distracted and from becoming idle to the point my brain has a diarrhea of detrimental thoughts.

Po's time with us feels too short. I suppose that's how it is with a lot of other people. I'm just greedy with one thing in my life. Don't need a lot of holidays, don't need a lot of fancy things.

The future looks uncertain. Sometimes I get quite disinterested to pursue it. Feels like once my youth and vigour is gone, I don't really know what can ever go on in my life again. Rather mundane.

Maybe in real fact, people like to wallow in their drawbacks. Gives them some sort of 'purpose' to dream that they will eventually escape it. Some things, once achieved, lose meaning.

Annoyed. Annoyed that a lot of people can't appreciate the good things that happen to them and keep on being envious of others. They come around as very toxic and poisonous people to be with.

My Birthday Wish 2010

Today, we finally bought our tickets to the UK. Possibly, we'll be dropping my mon cherie, Paris...

My crazy wish this year is to spend my birthday on the Eiffel Tower while eating ice cream from Berthillon (and if it isn't cold like crap, I'd be wearing Lolita again).

Something I drew after my first trip to Paris in 2007... An unfulfilled wish.
