Marooned.

I’ll be there for you

My favourite song!

I’ll be there for you,
These 5 words I swear to you.
When you breathe,
I want to be the air for you.
I’ll be there for you.

Just watched ‘A lot like Love’ again, and its so heart-melty. Sigh. I heard this song, and my heart melted.

A love that spanned 7 years. I hope that in the end, I’ll never be too late, and make the right choices.

Absolutely impatient. I can’t wait to watch this!

Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny whoop, Johnny whoop. I love Johnny Depp.

Ooh. I’m liking my new layout. Simplistic, clean, white. (:

Just came back from the movies with Mich, JianAn, Keith, Dillion, Shaun, Du. We watched ‘The Day the Earth Stood Still” – very disappointed. Although I did know it was going to suck, but…. I think my vote for the movie in order to see Keanu Reeves was not well placed. There was a scene that totally brought back TheMatrix images – when KeanuReeves emerges from his casing, it totally looked like when he came out of the matrix, in the big pod of goo – exactly the same, just different location – same hairlessness, nakedness, paleness etc. I was trying hard not to fall asleep in the movie, seriously. BAH. What a waste of time. But dinner with them was fun. They’ve gone to play mahjong… just trying to make me sad only – forever playing on weekdays/sundays. HELLO! I have to work!!

AND I’M SO SORRY SHER!!

Have I already mentioned that work is finally picking up? Although now I’m doing the same thing day in day out, but at least its something! And its semi-interesting. It gets a bit sian when I see the long long list of claims, and the thick stack of receipts I got to double check with. But I love the environment there, and I hope I do get another internship in another department next year. You know, I just realised how much I miss the numbers section of a normal computer keyboard – what do you call that part? Its the calculator part or it.. with the NumLock and stuff. Cos now at work, I’m pretty much using it 70% of the time.. it makes typing numbers soooo much easier, totally miss using it. And like, whilst doing projects, that would have made so much more sense! Sheesh. What have we been doing, using laptops/macs nonstop without trying to find the most efficient way of doing things. Haha.

Went out with Nartz yesterday for steamboat dinner, and that was yummy. It was nice seeing her and talking. Hope you are feeling better babe!

I think I’m an idealist in terms of romance. And I think that whilst I do have my irrational, idealistic and impossible views on it, which I wish were possible to find for me, I also have more rational ideas that I hope I’ll be able to find.. eventually. Hee.

I wish there was someone out there who gets me. Who will make me comfortable with being just me, no artifice, no trying to hard. Someone who isn’t afraid of opinions, ideas, outoftheblue philosophical thoughts, and gets it – doesn’t have to agree, but sees where I come from. Someone who is confident enough to know I don’t need him all the time. And someone who trusts, and whom I can trust. So conjure me up this man!

And I was reading a book, and a sign that a relationship wasn’t going to work was contempt and derision for your partner – which can be seen from even minute things like semi-rolling-of-eyes. When you can’t even stand listening to someone’s opinions of things etc, how do you expect to be together for the long haul?

Its interesting hanging out with kor on the way to work every morning. We have these 30min conversations every morning, about random things, about school, work. Its like I’m getting to know him a little more everyday. I like it, I like getting to know my family. Its kind of me/us making up for all the lost time in our growing years where we each lived our own individual lives.

We both came to the agreement that the worse part of working, is the waking up freaking inhumanely early, then squeezing into overcrowded modes of transport (someone fainted in the train yesterday morning.. never heard of that, but apparently quite common, according to the bro cos his friend always encounters it). Whats up with going to work at 830/9am. Who came up with that idea! And what happened to 9 – 5.. its like totally 9 – 6 workdays lor.. So it used to be that we get paid during lunch! Stop with the miserliness, oh corporate world – although yes yes, it is in a slump now.

Oh yes, I met up with Jiaying today for lunch, at GoldenShoe. That was nice, to see her after so so long. And we work so near each other! Finally, I’m meeting someone out of the office for lunch, its a nice change! What happened to all the other big4 interns? All so antisocial – tsk. Shall go find them one of these days, but first must find out where they work, and who works where. Takes precise planning, it does, with this very precious one hour a day we have to spare in the middle of the central business district.

*long post warning*

Its raining in my room, and I can’t survive the humidity without my aircon. So.. pitter patter goes my airconditioning unit into big pails that will fill up by morning.

MY EXAMS ARE OVER. I am extremely delighted. (: I think I’ll feel even better tomorrow morning, or afternoon, when I wake up from a stressless sleep. No more dreaming of missing exams! No more sudden jerking self awake to check the time and double checking that the alarm is set to go off at the correct time. I hate those stressful, fitful nights before exams, even when I was studying. Its so freaking scary to think about actually missing exams, because, I’d have studied so hard for naught! But its all over! I took all 5 exams, forgot none, and I just sit trying to not to think about lost causes and hope for the best. (:

Today. And yesterday. Were days of sinful indulgences. Super sinful, I am still quite shocked at the amount I bought. No more shopping, for a while, hopefully. Turning up at Sitex2008 tomorrow is likely to happen, but that’s not really indulgence, right? Who am I kidding, I love electronics! I’m so going to go gaga over Apple gadgets, jealous over the new macs (I still prefer the look of the blackmacbook though. I hate it that the new macbooks remind me of SonyVaios, stupid sonycopycats), Apple Ipods, Iphones, SonyEricsson phones – Xperia X1(!!! Its freaking hell S$1200+!! Who can afford that?? Its close to getting a new mac! And weighing the options, what would I do if I had that amount of money??), digital cameras I don’t need but still want, check out if they are selling dslr lenses and go weak in the knees if they do, search for my GuitarHeroWT(Wii) for discounts and special offers for other wii games if there are, digital harddrives. Lalala, I need to be there tomorrow!

Okay, I shouldn’t list my shopping over the past two days, it makes me feel super bad. Basically, I went for the Charles&Keith Warehouse Sale that Michcher told me about, which I subsequently told Michsng about, which we both got super super excited about going for. (: It was an experience, never went for warehouse sales like that. Its addictive because of the amount you save, seriously, its amazing. If only I got invited to club21 sales and things like that. So here’s some eyecandy for people who want to see what I bought! (:

How do you resist these?

My room turned into a mini-makeshift studio so I could play with my d60 and photograph all my buys. (: loveloveloves. And this was all bought before I took my last exam, oh wells, I needed the break, seriously. And the opportunity was too good to pass up.

Today, after the paper, Yenzhi, Monica, Jeremy, Douglas and I went for lunch, because Monica is flying off on Monday, for exchange, but of course with many plans prior to landing in Canada for studies. Douglas left earlier for Spanish class, in preparation for exchange to Spain next Spring. The rest of us then made our way to the neoprint machine in the middle of Shokudo and started to play with it! It was hilarious, and super fun! The machine managed to instantly photoshop us to have amazing complexion and super pretty eyes. Haha, it was fun playing with the decorations for the photos. Yenzhi’s going to scan the print and send it out to us, can’t wait. (: Neoprint machines are addictive, and expensive. Terrible. If only I could make the effects as instantly and in as fun a manner as the machines with my mac. Its probably possible, but…. where’s the fun in not having the machine speak to us in Japanese, which we do not understand, trying to decipher which buttons to press by luck, where to stand/sit/pose in time for the camera, rush about trying to change the poses etc, clicking on all sorts of things and screaming at the machine when we don’t understand it and our time runs out. That’s the fun. (:

After our neoprint adventure, Jason & Sylvia joined Jeremy, Yenzhi and I to walk around and ogle expensive bags, shoes, accessories and covet them. Syl left for a wedding preparation thing, and the rest of us made our way to shop some more – well me – at Suntec. I got a lot more things… Most important buy: the Topshop Asymmetric Trench which I couldn’t resist:

Got it on discount. Its super out of date in terms of it being a very very old piece season-wise.. its still gorgeous and irresistible, and I’m not so crazily a fashion-nazi, so screw you if you think I’m unfashionable, especially since I’m only going to wear it 2 years post season(approx).  Shall not divulge details about price, but with a couple of basic tanks I bought, I got to be a member! Whoopdeedoo. 10% discounts, birthday specials etc here I come! Lifetime membership, beat that! Mayj don’t you love me. Its transferable too! (:

Post shopping, especially after checking out loads of sunglasses, and falling in love with several.. and Jeremy succumbing to the evils of a very very good discount and good fashion, bought RayBans, whilst I looked covetously at the Guccis and thought of GuitarHero (didn’t work for the trench..). Why don’t I let you drool with me over the Guccis:

The worst part is that I look nice in them. But of course, its a waste of money to get them, I could so buy many many many more clothes, wii games, wii, guitarhero..

So then, we went to watch Madagascar 2 – I love Madagascar. Its superbly funny. (: Teehee.

Ok. Time for bed. Sitex tomorrow. Toodles! (:

Be calm, only by a calm consideration of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together – Be calm – love me – today – yesterday – what tearful longings for you – you – you – my life – my all – farewell. Oh continue to love me – never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.
Ever thine
Ever mine
Ever ours
