[birthday at sentosa]
oooo don't look down
rain rain go away, (not so) little princess wants to playBeen wanting to try the Luge for some time now. Finally did it the weekend of my b'day. Wee! It was fun! Had to coax flo to come with me cos she's terrified of heights (the ski lift didn't look very secure and that didn't help much). She managed to enjoy the ride up tho. And the "drive" down was funnnnnnn. lol. In a way I was glad it was drizzling - not many ppl in the queue. Next time, I'll buy the multiple rides pass. Heh.
After that we did a bit of cycling, till the rain got a bit too heavy. Flo gave me the impression all this while that she'd never rode a bicycle before, but she was zooming ahead of me before I could even get on my bike. lol. Liar liar pants on fire! We got some shelter at a bench, under our umbrella, with our picnic mat laid on the seat. Too bad no picnic; maybe next time when the weather's better. =)

[happy quarter century to me]
When I was younger (or maybe when all of us were), I looked forward to bdays cos of the prezzies...the more the merrier. Better to have numerous small ones than one big one. Bring 'em on! Lol. Now it's more the company that I treasure - who I'm gonna spend my special day with, what we're gonna do together, the meaningful (and fun!) conversations we're gonna have.
Hey what does this say? I've matured (read: not old). Hehe =)
I got flowers from flo baby!! Purple!!!Love at first sight and enchantment
Send lavender roses of course, to convey the message of your "love at first sight" with that special someone. You can nevertheless also send them if you would like to make a special impression.)
More like my cake..mocha cream cake from Crystal Jade. Nice! (Also my first triangle cake haha)
All smiles b'day girl
P.S. Does anyone know who my secret admirer is? Ask me for details heh. Or are u the one?

[4th of July]
Dad brought us for 4th of July celebrations at his workplace. It was pretty fun - music, food, the company, seeing the kids play, more food, drinks, fireworks. We didn't know it was a picnic, so when we arrived, we were like..darn..how are we gonna sit on the grass. So we walked around eating our kebab (there was Halal food..impressive!) and gulping down our root beer. Sakura and I saw an Indian family getting some of those black garbage bags. So when Dad came back, we "dared" him (or more like spare us the embarrassment) of asking the Bangla workers if we could take one too. We even told him to ask them and not the Chinese guys cos Indian-Indian will give chance lol. Not cos racist lah.
The ceremony was short, and maybe sweet...I wasn't paying attention to the speeches. I did however cringe because I was chagrinned at the Singaporean's behaviour when our national anthem was played. There was hardly any voices to be heard although there were plenty of us. The Americans on the other hand glorified their Star Spangled Banner by placing their hand on their chest and mouthing (if not singing) the words. When I went back to our picnic ground, dad even told me that the two Singaporean ladies next to us were happily lying down on their mats with their legs up in the air (demonstrating aerobics as I overheard from their conversation) throughout Majulah Singapura. Talk about patriotism, much more undignifying behaviour. At least I did my part, although I stole a few snaps during the anthem. Where did our NE lessons go?
Anyway, the fireworks were pretty amazing even though it was a small scale event. It was kinda scary too - it was so close that it was extremely loud. Even scarier was the fact that the "remnants" of the fireworks dropped on us. At first I was wondering why the poor kid next to us was wailing so loudly. I thought perhaps it was because of the loud sound. Then when the hot piece of paper (?) dropped on my arm, I was like OUCH. Even my sis was scared. I told her not to worry and then continued snapping more pics. I can never get tired of snapping shots of fireworks. They're just beautiful and extraodinary. I think the fun music helped too. Maybe we should come up with "Surfin' Singapura" lol.

[friggin' bad day for taxis]
Then some ppl came to wait for a taxi behind me . The guy flagged it down cos I didn't realise the cab was empty - but thankfully he let me have it first since I was first in line. Else he'd have gotten it from me haha. Was happy I got the taxi, but the driver took some weird route and made me pay $10.20 instead of the usual $8+. Plus he didn't press his "stop" button so the meter continued running at the taxi stand to $10.30. I thought he was gonna charge me $10.20 but my change was 10 cents short...grrr. If I hadn't been in a rush I'd have argued with him! Money making @#$%&*^!
On the way back to office, I shared a cab with my colleagues from Biopolis. They were (soundly) asleep at the back so since the cab driver took AYE, I asked him to exit at NUH so that he could go there first instead of alighting me at Buona Vista. He exited there alright, but instead of going straight into NUH, he went into the right-turn lane. So when I said he was supposed to go straight into NUH, he went like, "This lane cannot turn. If you want I turn right and U-turn back then go into NUH." Like wtf, wanna make my taxi bill higher is it?? Then later on when he alighted me around MOE before turning into Biopolis, he made it seem as if he was doing me such a big favour. Moron! Taxi drivers can be so annoying sometimes!!! The only comfort was that my colleagues let me ride free..yay. Heh.
Everything from yest till today just added up so by the time I reached office, I was almost in tears. I went to the toilet cos I was feeling nauseated but in the end I just burst into tears. Arghhh. But better than puking I guess. I feel better now. I think. I need closure. Bleah. Easy to say.

[chocolate cake with frosting anyone?]

P.S. I don't think the cake will survive for long at the rate dad is eating it. Lol.
Oh yeah, and I think I should admit that I decided to be so enterprising in the kitchen today of all days so that I could get away from having to complete my article which I'm supposed to submit to prof this wk. Tsk tsk.

[my non-existent core muscles]
First lesson of the day (self taught): Never eat before exercise.
I was hungry, or rather, bored because I was 45 mins early for the class (why do the buses seem to cooperate when u have ample time, and never appear when u're running late?). To kill time I went to KFC wanting to eat something light - like popcorn chicken. Since I bought the meal, I thought I'd pack the sidedish (mash potatoes) home (recall: LIGHT food). Somehow the waiter mumbled something and I blindly nodded and before I knew it my meal was upsized to cheese fries. So there I was reading Robin Cook's "Shock" and before I knew it, my cheese fries, which I usually NEVER finish, was 3/4 gone. And boy was I full. Needless to say, during the session, especially when we had to do "child position" and others which required us to lie on our tummy, I was like....nooooooo why did I eat? Well, lesson learnt. I'll stick to just reading next time I'm bored - minus the food. Thank God I didn't puke.
Second lesson: Pilates is not easy
I think the (basic) Yoga classes that I attended were much easier (then again, maybe it's because I never progressed to Level 2). The instructor seemed to want to get a "yes" out of me when she asked if anyone had any back problems. I didn't nod at first but after her long lecture about how those with back problems have to be extra careful, she looked at me again, so I said yes. Do I look like I've a back problem? Either that or she has inbuilt back problem detector radar. Lol. She asked me to lie on double mats and paid me extra attention during the workout. Good for me. Yay.
Third lesson (something I erm...already know): My core muscles are non-existent/pathetic
By the time we got to crunching our abs and raising our legs up 45 degrees, my muscles were trembling and I was wobbling. I guess that's why I need the lessons. I can do it! (with a lot of patience and perseverence...)
Fourth lesson: Damn, the pros make it look so freakin' easy when it's not
Bleah.

[would u do anything for love?]
I'd run right into hell and back
I would do anything for love
I'll never lie to you and that's a fact
But I'll never forget the way you feel right now--
Oh no--no way--
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
I won't do that
Anything for love
I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
I won't do that
Some days it don't come easy
Some days it don't come hard
Some days it don't come at all
and these are the days that never end
Maybe I'm crazy
But it's crazy and it's true
I know you can save me
No one else can save me but you
As long as the planets are turning
As long as the stars are burning
As long as your dreams are comming true--
You better believe it!--
That I would to anything for love
And I'll be there until the final act--
I would do anything for love!
And I'll take a vow and seal a pact--
But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way--
Tonight--
I would do anything for love!
I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
I won't do that...
I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of
But I just won't do that...
Somedays I pray for silence
Somedays I pray for sould
Somedays I just pray to the God of Sex and Drums and Rock'N Roll
Some night I lose the feeling
Some nights I lose control
Some night I just lose it all when I watch you dance and the thunder rolls
Maybe I'm lonely
And that's all I'm qualified to be
There's just one and only
The one and only promise I can keep
As long as the wheels are turning
As long as the fires are burning
As long as your prayers are coming true--
You better believe it--!
That I would do anything for love!
And you know it's true and that's a face
I would do anything for love!
And there'll never be no turning back--
But I'll never do it better than I do it with you
So long--
So long--
I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
I won't do that
I would do anything for love
Anything you've been dreaming of
But I won't do that...
But I'll never stop dreaming of you
Every night of my life--
No way--
I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love
But I won't do that
I won't do that!
Girl:
Will you raise me up?
Will you help me down?
Will you get me right out if this Godforsaken town?
Will you make it all a little less cold?
Boy:
I can do that!
I can do that!
Girl:
Will you hold me sacred?
Will you hold me tight?
Can you colorize my life I'm so sick of black and white?
Can you make it all a little less old?
Boy:
I can do that!
I can do that!
Girl:
Will you make me some magic
With your own two hands?
Can you build an emerald city with these grains of sand?
Can you give me something I can take home?
Boy:
I can do that!
I can do that!
Girl:
Will you cater to every fantasy I got?
Will ya hose me down with holy water--if I get to hot--?
Will ya take me to places I've never known?
Boy:
I can do that!
I can do that!
Girl:
After a while you'll forget everything
It was a brief interlude
And a midsummer night's fling
And you'll see that it's time to move on
Boy:
I won't do that!
I won't do that!
excuse me if i've returned to my old cynical views about love.
"anything" doesn't exist in reality.

main jahaan rahoon
wherever I am
main kahin bhi hoon
wherever I may be
teri yaad saath hai
your memories are with me
kisi se kahoon
to say someone
ke nahi kahoon
or not to say
yeh jo dil ki baat hai
what is in my heart
kehne ko saath apane ek duniya chalti hai
though apparently world walks with me
per chhupke is dil mein tanhaayi palti hai
yet loneliness engulfs my heart
bas yaad saath hai
teri yaad saath hai *3

main jahaan rahoon
wherever I am

kahin to dil mein yaadon ki
sometimes in my heart
ek suli gad jaati hai
pangs of memories dig deep
kahin har ek tasveer bhahut hi dhondhali pad jaati hai
somewhere a picture gets hazier
koi nayi duniya ke naye rango mein khush rehta hai
some enjoy colours of world and are happy
koi sab kuch paake bhi yeh mann hi mann kehta hai
and some even after getting everything say this in their heart
kehne ko saath apane ek duniya chalti hai
though apparently world walks with me
per chhupke is dil mein tanhaayi palti hai
yet loneliness engulfs my heart
bas yaad saath hai
teri yaad saath hai *3

kahin to beete kal ki jadein
sometimes roots of past
dil mein hi utar jaati hai
dig deep in my heart
kahin jo dhage tute to malaayen bhikar jaati
sometimes a cherished garland breaks apart
koi dil mein jagah nayi, baaton ke liye rakhta hai
some keep space for new things in their hearts
koi apni palko par yaadon ke diye rakhta hai
yet some continue to decorate lamps of memories on their eyelashes
kehne ko saath apane ek duniya chalti hai
though apparently world walks with me
per chhupke is dil mein tanhaayi palti hai
yet loneliness engulfs my heart
bas yaad saath hai
teri yaad sath hai *3
your memories are with me

[i'm beaming]
"and thats what i feel is good about u too
u have been thru some very tough times so u know what it is to be down in the dumps
another thing i like about u is that ur so creative
in clothes, in pictures, in everything
ur fun to be with
ur delicate like a lily but u can turn into something tougher when the situation demands
ur smart, ur kind, ur sensible, ur creative
u can rough it out when needed, ur gorgeous, lovely, innocent but at the same time sexy"
"ur the kind of girl any guy would be privileged to go out with..u know when to laugh, when to smile, when to let go, when to pull close, when to praise, when to admonish, when to cry and when to wipe tears"
do i really deserve these kind words?
