not like the movies

Posted on 2010.08.04 at 13:54


He put it on me, I put it on,
Like there was nothing wrong.
It didn't fit,
It wasn't right.
Wasn't just the size.
They say you know,
When you know.
I don't know.

I didn't feel
The fairytale feeling, no.
Am I a stupid girl
For even dreaming that I could.

If it's not like the movies,
Thats how it should be, yeah.
When he's the one,
I'll come undone,
And my world will stop spinning
And that's just the beginning, yeah.

Snow white said when I was young,
"One day my prince will come."
So I wait for that date.
They say its hard to meet your match,
Find my better half.
So we make perfect shapes.
If stars don't align,

If it doesn't stop time,
If you cant see the sign,
Wait for it.
One hundred percent,
With every penny spent.
He'll be the one that,
Finishes your sentences.

If it's not like the movies,
Thats how it should be.


When he's the one,
He'll come undone,
And my world will stop spinning,
And thats just the beginning.

'Cause I know you're out there,
And your, your love came for me.
It's a crazy idea that you were made,
Perfectly for me you'll see.

Just like the movies.
That's how it will be.
Cinematic and dramatic with the perfect ending.
It's not like the movies,
But that's how it will be.
When he's the one,
You'll come undone,
And your world will stop spinning,
And it's just the beginning.

back again

time FLEW.

1 month has gone by and its time to head back doen to the lions' den and be eated by the lions. aka, uni work. multiple projects and assignments and numerous essays are forecasted to envelop and eat me alive. gawd i'm sucha poet. haha.
okay enough of the nonsense.

at the sq lounge now. ALONE :( sobs. no B CLASS friend with me like i did during the easter hols :( CHAN XI where are you?? i'm so lonely in the lounge. hence, blogging!

anyway, have been so sick the past 2 weeks its disgusting for me to type it all out here. just picture me with stuffy nose, hoarse throat, dropey eyes and lying in bed flipping channels every hour. yeah, it was that bad. but i still managed to get out of the house and socialize abit.

LONDON AND MILAN was awesome. pics won't be up here but it'll be on fb real soon :) most probably tomorrow. haha. such a good trip with my mum. and the course was a real eye opener for me. don't know if i'm really suited for being a purchaser but we'll see how :) shopping was the peak for me. needless to say, bought quite abit, so happy with my europe buys. heehee. no more shopping in melbourne&singapore.

and i FAILED my driving. haha. so sad. but for the record, i only had 15 lessons. cause i went to london, so i didn't have time to do more. the average is 25 lessons, so i'm gonna go back in december and take more lessons and when i'm ready i'll go take it again :)

what else?
ate alot. bonded with the family more. met up with secondary school friends who are flying off to other parts of the world for university. most of them are going to LSE in LONDON. will definitely visit them when they're there. haha.

its time to go back to melbourne and be nerd again
.3 down, 3 more terms to go.
i can do this! :)

bye london :(

love the little girl

david, cher and the italian girl :)




i'm back from dinner! and i just felt like blogging. don't know why. omg. the dinner was soo good. david and cher brought us to the OXO tower. and it overlooked the river of london. and it was gorgeous!! saw the sunset at about 7pm. beautiful. and the food was absolutely masterchef worthy, HAHA. now i'm comparing everything to masterchef. too lazy to put all the pics up here.will be up on faceboook instead! haha. anyway, met this 7 and 9 yr old italian girls who lived in singapore for 3 yrs and now they're living in london. and the 7 yr old girl was born in singapore and in the same hospital as me, gleneagles! WHAT A COINCEDENCE RIGHT! we met them in the toilet of OXO, and they were playing with the taps. the 7 yr old girl was so proud to be born in singapore :) and she found out i was born in the same hospital, she was so thrilled. so cute. she asked her grandfather to take a pic of me and her at the table. so cute. and they were sitting right next to us. haha. too cute.

okay, think i just wanted to say that.

goodnight!

liking my new miu mius :) heehee.

back in london again! leaving for singapore tomorrow :( sobs.
i'm bored so i'm blogging now. going to have dinner later with some londoners.

yesterday was a slack day. woke up at 12pm. then went to duomo, the city centre of milano. went straight for PRADA and we were there for pretty long. think we bought like... 15 plus items or something. never carried so much prada in my life.the plastic bags they give us are really strong. it was able to hold all the bags and stuff. then went to COMO, its outside of milan. Marco came to pick us up and showed us como. he's so sweet :) think we'll be going to milan quite often now. since we have got such a good host there. amd we didn't even have time to go to the factory outlets which are 3 hours away from milano.

going to selfridges and oxford street tomorrow to do a final round of shopping. and i'll be done with shopping for the rest of the year. haha. i don't wanna leave london :(


euro trip

currently blogging from milan at like... 10:19pm. and its 4:19am in singapore. don't know how i'm gonna overcome the jetlag when i get back on tuesday. the week in london has been soooo amazing. hot but still amazing. many many many stories to tell people. one of them is that harrods was filled with DUBAI people. it was sooooo freaky. all the wrapped up ladies were carrying branded bags, wearing branded shoes and scarfs. felt like i was in abudabi. hahahah. don't know how to spell it properly. anyhooo. made 2 good new friends while taking the fashion course! bessie and naomi :) hong koner and viet girl. they're so cute and funny. so glad to have met them, next time i'm in london, will totally know who to call :) heehee.

have been taking the tube every morning to get to school. feels like i live there already. don't really have a tourist-y  feel. jacqueline's apartment is great, 3 min walk to victoria station. so that's really convenient. shopping at H&M is fantastic. went there 5 times and still find something new whenever i step in. amazing. TOPSHOP was a BIG FAT DISSAPOINTMENT. way tooo overpriced and i expected more sales from them. sigh. nvm. its okay, H&M helped a whole lot.heehee. cindy and i went mad the other day at knightsbridge.

oh and we got lost at london bridge. what a joke. it was really funny though, felt very tourist-y. we were soo tired due to all the walking.... and omg don't get me started on the TUBE. IT STINKS. IT HAS NO AIR CONDITIONING. ITS WAY WAY DOWN UNDERGROUND. so you gotta walk so many staircases even after taking the super long escalator. so bad. don't think i wanna study in london, i'll suffocate to death in the tube stations.

but weather was so fine. no rain. sunshine from 4;30am to 10:30pm. never saw the sunlight for so long in a day! haha. first time in london during summer, the other 2 times were in december. cause of the secondary school hols. but i totally love summer than to winter.

okay, enough of london.

MILAN.

I LOVE MILAN. SHOPPING SALES.
so happppy today.
who can resist: 40% off miu mius. 30% off bottega veneta. 40% off prada.
i'm in love with bottega veneta. the soft leather is so nice to touch! my love for chanel has sadly died. its bottega now. heehee. the sales assistant was so nice. she was modelling th bags for us, cause we couldn't decided what to buy. the place was filled with ASIANS. amazing right. we actually fly half way around the world just to get discounted bags. says alot about us, oh wells, oh! and every shop had a japanese saleswoman in them! cause alot of japs go there to buy stuff. so they hired jap girls to converse with them. OH! and in bottega, there was an italian man who studied in beijing university and could speak fluent chinese! impressive much! he talked to all the mainland chinese women who were buying the stuff there. so cute. and no bought a truckload of stuff that we got it deliverd to our hotel cause it was too much to carry. but not all of them are for us, some advanced presents for people as well :)

i heart milan shopping. but, there is NOTHING to do here. like.... other than shopping. and the churches. was abit confused at first when we arrived. cause i expected it to be like rome and venice where there's alot of people and stuff to do. but milan is just shops and shops and shops. i'm not complaining. but just wanna do some tourist-y things other than shopping. hee.

and i swear, all the branded stores door men are soo cuteee!!! so handsome! even the cab drivers are soo god damn beautiful. its quite amazing how good looking they are. but i find that milan has a lot of mixed races. like they're not fully italian. but yeah, guys here are cute and friendly. just that there's a communication breakdown everytime we try to converse with them. but still cute. hahaha.

oh everyone here dresses sooo weell. i feel underdressed in my tank top and slippers. and every woman on the street carries gorgeous bags, which i love to see, unlike aussie. ew. haha. love the uk for that. at least they wear proper clothes and dress nicely when they go out. :D


going back to london on monday morning. flying out of london on tuesday night, then its SINGAPORE!
think i need 2 days to recover from the jet lag. and then it'll be filled with appointments with peeps. gonna be a busy 2 weeks. don't wanna go back ti down under :( BOOOOO.

okay, going to sleep now.

CIAO BELLAS! :)
(bye beautifuls)

did the craziest thing yesterday. it was really impromptu. really spontaneous. haha. met up with the sec 4 peeps on wed, and finally had a fivesome reunion yesterday:) love you guys. and i realized when i get back, i should try out more fro-yo places.

oh and now i'm addicted to justin bieber's songs thanks to my brother. he really does have a good voice and his songs ARE catchy.

anyway, going to watch eclipse later at the cathay :) then, gonna leave sg for london at night. excited much. gonna miss singapore very much. but london will be a whole lot better. haha.

food&cars

Posted on 2010.06.29 at 23:40
since i got back, have been eating non-stop! have been going to shangri-la pretty often too. everything there is so good! went to THE LINE today :) its a buffet. and they actually serve good food. met my mum's friend there. and omg, she is amazing. at the amount of stuff she buys. she has countless birkins. she persuaded us to go to paris instead of italy. gonna get pretty bags from paris! oh and i learnt that people in france carry longchamps to go MARKETING!! they put their GROCERIES into their longchamps. HAHA. what a joke. and here we are, asians, carrying it as a going out bag. got a big shock when i heard that. gosh. oh wells. had lunch with auntie grace. linda and uncle alan :) lovely folks. its a must have to meet up with them when i'm back. took care of me since i was a little baby :) 

yesterday, went to the AP event at botanic gardens. really nice. food was good as well. a little father-daughter bonding time. heehee. i still don't understand why they are so into watches. why not bags? haha. but learnt quite abit about the exquisite watches made in france. the watches cost from 50k to 105k. but its a good investment i guess.

and i cut my hair yesterday! TO A SHORT BOB! :) wanted to follow LC's cut, and it turned out alright thank god. i look so much younger and more alert. which is good. but no more sexy long hair. haha. good thing is i can always grow it back! yaye.

went to the gym @ hyatt. felt really good after that. fetched ryan to his tutition. can't wait to drive when i pass! ahh so exciting. gonna be those pple whoe pump up their nigger music extremely loudly, and you can hear it from a mile away. haha. thinking of getting the audi convertible. its either red or white in colour. not sure yet. gotta start from the bottom and work my way to the top with my own $$. need a small car to bang around in singapore, get my feel around things, then progress to other cars. heehee. 

gonna be meeting jacqueline who studies at st. martins school of design in london. will be staying at her apartment when i'm there. and seriously need to get my brows done too! 

second day

Posted on 2010.06.27 at 18:27
Everything was going so well since I got back. Dinner with the family, jessica from the philippines and 2 american guys from baffalo university doing an exchange at SIM. So great to talk to all of them and eat local food.

Today, went to church. Service was awesome as ever. Went to shangri-la at shang palace. The dim sum there beat crystal jade and imperial treasure. Good service as well. At least you won't get chased out after sitting for more than 1.5 hours. Then watched the killers with ryan. Watched it cause of ashton kutcher and katherine heigel. But it was that great. Funny parts here and there but nothing much. Was going to the canal at clementi to have a jog with godma.

Was about to leave house when dad started to breath hard. So scary I swear. Thought he was going to go.. He was panting so hard. Mum and I panicked, wanted to call the ambulence. But he could get up so brought him to gleneagles emergency room. Heart and pressure rate is alright. But he feels numbness in his hands. Never felt so helpless. Cried a lot. At the emergency room now waiting for the blood test while dad's resting on the bed here. Takes 2 hours for the blood tests to come out. I really pray and hope that its just a really bad hangover. Cause he drank a lot last night.

Lord, need you right now.

tomorrow
