Memories

Went to my primary school's 80th anniversary.. Walking along the corridors of a place I'd once so familiar with, it's almost sad to feel so grown up. Good memories or bad memories, I still regard them as treasured, priceless memories.

I find it weird that our school never have a class like 6A. We have strange letters like B, K, H, and so on. There's no name, but I couldn't help wondering why those letters were picked instead of A, Y, and so on?

So many years had passed since graduation, and yet my good old school's still there, strong like never before. But I'm quite surprised to find out that it's going to move to "a more suitable location" in a few years. I bet most of us, especially those who have graduated, must be against it. Unless they move the whole building over. Because it's really special to us.

It's sad to know that one of our classmates had passed away just weeks ago. At such a young age, I wonder what he felt at the moments of his last breath. Regrets? Reluctance? or Anger? But it doesn't matter, because in the end, we must all let go. RIP my friend.

Regal

I hate cats, but sometimes there are exceptional cases. Especially for cats who know how to behave and look almost adorable.

This one looks serene and almost regal.

Weird Combination

I've seen yoghurts in many many different flavours: mango, tropical fruits, strawberry, raspberry, whatever-kind-of-berry, orange, aloe vera and so on.

But CAPPUCCINO?

Interesting.

Somehow cappuccino's flavour matched quite well with the yoghurt, although I dislike the addition of Nata de Coco in there. But then again, i always dislike Nata de Coco XD

A Quick Update

Haven't blog in a long time, mostly, due to I haven't been online that frequently anymore. But still, I do keep a little list of what I'm planning to blog, so when I have the time, like these two days, I just post as many as I can. XD

I had mock test recently, which was a complete horror to me. I went into a blank panic in one of the papers, and I think this time round I'm definitely going to flunk it. Sigh. Who else to blame except me. Great.

After the mock I went and cleaned up my room, which was a very very tremendously satisfying experience for me XDXD. You couldn't imagine the amount of dust that I "discovered", which was very scary, because the kind of dust I'm talking about here is not like what you imagine, like a sheet of dust on something right? Wrong. Some places in my room, the dust had accumulated to a point where they ROLLED INTO A CYLINDRICAL SHAPE. Rolls with about 1cm diameter. So you get rolls and rolls of dust which look a bit like insects. Interesting eh? :)

Then I read some books which I intend to read for a long time but haven't got round to do it, I'll blog about it soon :) Rewatched a Korean drama, definitely not the type Nigahiga's talking about, and finally finished watching Heroes up to Season 4. I'll definitely continue to watch Heroes. I couldn't resist watching how evil Sylar is. It's scary to say that I find it utterly interesting :D

AND I JUST DISCOVERED THAT UGLY BETTY SEASON 4 IS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG. I CAN'T WAIIIIIITTTT. :D:D:D:D:D

Two in One

Twin-yolked egg!


But sadly it's not me, but dad who discovered it =(

Anticipation

Never more eager to know the answer.

From the moment I learned that he's coming back, my mind had set off in a series of lightning-fast guessings and ran through dozens of possibility.

Why? For what? Or could it be For who?

My mind was unbelievably driven by tinglings of excitement, that I seriously hate to wait until he's back to find out what is it that brings him back here. Better not be for a model of Transformer. Grr.

Yvonne..

Sign

For the first time in a reasonably long time, I had a truly good dream.

There were no worries or sorrow, could it be a sign of freedom?

I have a very good feeling that it is =)

Yvonne..

Tsk tsk tsk

Recently I heard that Taylor Swift's "You Belong with Me" topped AT40 either this or last week.

Let me get this straight - America's top favourite song for the week, is about this girl who love this guy for a long time but never confess to him until some skank snatched her boy, whom this oh-so-innocent-girl paid revenge by snatching the boy back?

Ah, how very delighting to know that :)

Black Forest Delight

As the package had suggested, it does have the power to make you surrender for more, well that's what I did. Black Forest Delight is similar to the normal original Tim Tam, except for the additional cranberry cream squeezing in between. But that's all it needs to rock =D

A Good Rock Song

"No Surprise"
by Chris Daughtry

I've practiced this for hours, gone round and round
And now I think that I've got it all down
And as I'm singing louder, I love how it sounds
'Cause I'm not taking the easy way out
Not wrappin' this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why


It's no surprise.. I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed til today
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise


It came out like a river, once I let it out
When I thought that I wouldn't know how
Held onto it forever.. just pushing it down
It felt so good to let go of it now
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why


It's no surprise.. I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed til today
There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow
There's nothing here in this soul left to save
Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow
God knows we tried to find an easier way
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The lovin' look that's left your eyes
That's why this comes as no..
as no surprise


If I could see the future and how this plays out
I bet it's better than where we are now
But after going through this
It's easier to see the reason why


It's no surprise.. I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed til today
(Stayed til today)
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The lovin' look that's left your eyes
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise.

Bless Him

I don't really believe that a person with pure kindness exists, though once in a while I do meet certain people whom I can sense kindness right out from his or her heart.

When I say I can sense kindness, I really mean that I can feel it, and words ringing in my head "my god, he/she is kind".

Today I've experienced it again.

God bless that old man.

Yvonne..

Manner

I find that some people do really lack of it.

Sometimes I don't see how the word "Thank You" can be so hard for a person to say, because it seemed to me that saying it could make some people choke and suffocate to death. And yes I'm being sarcastic.

But really, I loathe people who take everything for granted as if the world owes it to him. Therefore, "thank you", to that person, does not exist.

Gratefulness is a feeling that we should never forget.

I can forgive those who are really shy, or just not accustomed to saying certain words, like how I'm not accustomed to saying "I love you" to people whom I really really love, not even with my family, because I was being brought up by a family who express love through actions and care, not words and displays of love.

But for those who are ignorant, I have no more to say other than throwing a disdainful glance at him.

Luckily, in this culture, no one really dare to forget "Sorry", for when everyone is afraid of upsetting another person which might set off a series of unpleasant events. Oh, how I love my culture.

Be grateful!!

Yvonne..

Perspectives

It's very subjective.

The world looks exactly like how we wanted to see it. It's something I never doubted, and believed the moment I learned of this concept.

Don't you agree that when we feel happy and at ease, everything runs smoother? Even a piece of shit looks pretty. No joke.

But when your heart is at the wrong emotion, the wrong place, the wrong mood, that's it, even a simple general statement can negatively affect your judgement easily.

Therefore you see, monks don't really get upset that often, if they ever do. They look at things with a wider perspective, they sit further back in the cinema, they look at things without involving themselves into it, and I think, this action is important when we wanted to clear our head, or got too busy, or just too upset about something.

It's a good skill to be mastered, be perfected. When we steer clear of all the little things cluttering all around in our head, we can appreciate the beauty of the seemingly unimportant small little things around us, those that we've took for granted. Family, friends, the sun, the sky, nature, music, everything. Why is it that people will only realize how grateful should they be when those things are gone?

Why is it that some of us can be poor but happy? Why is it that, despite all the negative issues we read each day in the newspaper, some of us can still learn to trust others other than own family? Why is it that some people can just commit suicide over some trivial matters? Is there really no other way out?

No money? So what? I'll earn some.

No family? So what? Friends will be your new family.

No friends? So what? I'll make some. There're people all around you.

No hope? Take a break, and let time wash things over.

Change the perspectives.

I don't believe there is anything (most of them) that time can't solve. Especially for highly volatile human related matters.

Life is too short for anything. It's really funny to me when I see some people just rush life over especially those of us who're incredibly workaholic.

Damn. The thought of soul-searching creeps up to the back of my mind again. Lol.

The Pink Phase

I know, I know, this is like, omg and all, since I don't specifically like pink (understatement of the year hahaha), but still, SOMETIMES it can be quite nice. Just bear with me for a while, I'll change again as soon as I'm bored of pink.

(Which I estimate will be in no time >.<)

Happy October people!! Ten months passed without most of us registering that fact, and it seems like only yesterday we were wishing each other Happy 2009.

Time flies like light. Faster than light.

P.S. Add-on: Shit it's seriously pink. Candy pink. I got scared for a while. So gay. Urgh. So not me.

母语

很久没打华语字了。

那天突然挖出全部华语歌， 听个痛痛快快。

普通朋友，春泥，雨人，我要快乐，翅膀等等。

发现自己忽略了母语好久好久。

差点忘了母语的美丽，每一个字，每一个词，都有不一样的意义。表达情感，如此容易。

真的有些想念。

六年前就趋向西方日本文化， 听的歌， 当然， 也是英文日文。

摆脱了中文流行排行榜的魔咒， 却忘了也有很多值得收藏， 值得珍惜的歌。

庆幸的发现， 原来有些东西， 是不会变的。 喜欢的歌， 现在依然喜欢。

Tasty Salt

Please tell me how can salt be tasty.

Apparently, the advertiser had been working too hard. We don't need adjectives in the ingredients list, but thank you very much for lighting up my day xD

Graduation

From CAT I mean. Certified Accounting Technician.

Not ACCA.

So cool down, people.

But I do hope that I will graduate from ACCA asap of course.

Actually the point of this post is that, is that, is that:

I FELT LIKE WE'RE ALL FROM
HOGWARTS (yes that school of witchcraft) TODAY.

Because the robes, seriously, reminded me of Harry Potter, Hogwarts, and Wingardium Levi-oh-sa.

What's lacking?

Magic wands and brooms.

AHAAHAAAHAAA.

P.S. I know I sounded dumb, or still-crazy-over-harry-potter, but you know, being an ex-HP fan, I just couldn't help it. xD

Meet Sweet Bubble

Meet Sweet Bubble, my loyal and faithful wrist rest that relieved that bruise near my wrist.

If you're someone who spend time with your computer most of the time while you're awake, you'll get what kinda bruise I'm talking about here.

So meet Sweet Bubble, my newfound healer :D
