So, when's your turn?

Attire: Silver Grey Dress

Venue: Grand Plaza Park Hotel

Weddings can be kinda sweet, looking at romantic montages of girl-meets-boy and sometimes a gd time to catch up with your old friends/colleagues.

But if knowing that your colleague is single, would u asked him: "So, when's your turn?" after witnessing the solemnization?

Tt question was posed to me lately, with him in-the-know tt i wasn't seeing anyone. I mean, how am i suppose to answer such a question if i didn't even have anyone in my life now? Would it make any sense? Tt seemed to be the favourite question from my ex colleagues/acquaintances from the civil service when we were still working together..

Then they will conclude: "You're too fussy la.."

The things that make you go hmm........

With gentle reminders at a young age from my concerned mum: " You're not blessed with good looks unlike your cousin, so you'll have to study harder.."

Tt advice was deeply enrooted in my mind, and so i never felt that i was much of a looker. I never believed in finding THE ONE, or someone who can sweep me off my feet and give me the 'butterflies in the stomach' feeling. Neither must he be gd looking nor taller than my 1.73 m frame.

It's more about how i feel when i'm with that special someone. Where I will be my happiest, nervous yet excited self which may sometimes potentially impairs our conversation. (I can be reduced to a bunch of nerves, saying the most preposterous things when with the person i like or become overly quiet..)

Someday, someone somewhere will be there for me, and so i wish..

I do hope that i do not have to do a cartwheel, somersault, forward, backward and forward (again) roll, touch my toes to get him to like me.

A bazaar at the flea market

Top: Polo Tee
Bottom: Denim Skirt
Venue: Bishan CC & Junction 8

Daphne, Jo, Xf and I shared a stall at the Flea Market, an event organised by Bishan CC to support our friends who were in the committee.

Mum heaved a sign of relief when i was clearing our my wardrobe.. i had been giving my petite aunt clothes every wk, but the supply of my clothes just seemed unlimited!

Our stall was #11, had lotsa response from the aunties and girls who rummage for brands like Mango, Forever 21, Dorothy Perkins, just to name a few! I was so glad to be rid of my Diesel Jeans-heavy!

It was quite hilarious, as we didn't prepare change and plastic bags and panick whenever someone wanna buy something! With the powers of 4 combined, there was a mountain of clothes! Each time a potential buyer picks up smtg, we would go:

" Whose one huh?"
"Mine, mine mine!!"

We sold quite a lot of our stuff, surprisingly in a neighbourhood! Tink our stuff would be snapped up if we were at Tanglin!

Being at the stall kept me off some mind-boggling issues of late, thou i went into a daze at times. Even spilled the entire glass of Snapple all over my legs when we were at Coffee Bean after dinner.

Hitting the big 3-0

Attire: White Dress

Venue: Changi Cottage

Celebrated KL's birthday today- Charles pasted XXX (roman for 30) to mark KL's 30 yrs of age..

Hitting the BIG 3-0 is the milestone that we all dread, as it means the 1st step into middle-age. Can't imagine the day when i hit 30. How my life would be different from now..

"I dreamed of being sweet sixteen, then magic twenty-one.

Now I am twenty-seven and gonna see thirty come.

My maid calls me ma'am, it makes me feel quite numb. How can I think of me as old? I've always felt so young.

I once could name the top 10 songs played on the radio. Now I turn the rock groups down or hunt for something slow.

I don't mind the big 3-0, if i have walked down the aisle before 30."

27 forever and ever!

Will you still follow your heart?

People do the craziest things when it comes to matters of the heart.

The spontaneity gets to you even when it comes to the most unexpected chain-of-events, just to be with the person you like.

Confessions.

Letting your feelings be known can either make or break the relationship. The last thing you ever want is to reveal how you feel about the other person and risk losing him.

Ideally, you would like to know where you stand before getting started. But you end up following your heart and not your head. And now you don't know where you are..

*Confused*

Walking on broken glasses

In his motivational talk, The Master asked the entire class if anyone was capable of killing someone. i jerked my head, to have a clearer view being blocked by several heads from sitting the back of the class.

"Hey, look.. all the psychos (about 2 or 3 with their hands raised)! I told my new frds: Kumar & Faizal. The Master that asked again: "Who, in this class if capable of killing someone? " To which i raised my hand telling the guys that everyone is capable of killing someone, its whether or nt they wanted to.

The Master then said that he would walk around the class and looked straight into the eyes of the 'would-be' killers, and tell us if he believe tt we would actually kill!

As he walked towards me, The Master stopped halfway in his tracks and said tt he couldn't see me. He came slightly closer, saying tt my eyelashes were blocking my eyes and asked if i wore contact lenses.

I exclaimed tt they were my natural lashes! The whole class turned around and laughed. *blushes*

Our next exercise would be to walk on a path of broken glasses!

Before that, we had to think of a reason why we chose to do so, before the challenge. This was optional. We had to sign on the Indemnity Form for the participation. I signed up immediately, thinking that it was a joke.

Suddenly, i heard the sounds of glasses shattering outside the classroom. The Master instructed us to remove our shoes, socks and stockings.

OMG, this is really happening! Only a handful participated amidst the 100+ odd people in the classroom. I walked across the path of broken glasses and came out unscathed.

Can't wait for the bigger things in life *motivated*

Dustbin Baby

Attire: Pink Nike T-shirt, black Asics shorts, Sunglasses
Green Container: IKEA
Model: Smoky Wong, Wong's Family

My parents once joked that they picked me up from a dustbin. Of course i din believe them. I was too pampered and spoiled by them to bits and that reaffirmed my status as being part of the Wongs' Family.

My frd called earlier to said he had something to pass to me. He was being really secretive and i didnt know what was it till we met.

He produced a Lime green container. I realised that i saw these dustbin look-alikes seats at The Cathay, where we went for a movie. They were really cool and we joked about stealing them if they were still around after the movie.

He said that i could use it if i had too much to drink and could not rush to the bathroom in time to puke. I said i'll consider too, also if i'm too 'urgent' to rush to the bathroom :p

Seven Pounds

Atire: Black Wrap-around Dress

After a night at Mimolette, I watched the 3.50am midnight show. My earliest movie ever!In this movie, Will Smith plays Ben Thomas, an IRS agent with a fateful secret who embarks on an extraordinary journey of redemption by forever changing the lives of seven strangers.

The only other movie, non-action i ever watched of Will Smith was the sweet romantic comedy "Hitch". Now, Will potrays his emotional side, in his role in Seven Pounds.It was heart-wenching watching Ben's tears fall, when he was grieving the loss his gf who passed away in a fatal car accident in which he was the driver.

In our life, we will probably experience heart-breaking situations at least once, that we could do nothing but helplessly be in pain. One can choose to be sad, but not be miserable. But till then when you finally get out of this despair, u are a total wreck. Your mind is full of images of the loved one. Every fleeting moment that pass u by, u think about dying..

Pain.

Another screen-worthy moment was when "Emily" (Rosario) stated in her medical record/application for a heart donor that she didn't feel worthy of taking a heart away from someone else, as her life was completely unremarkable.

It was really sweet when Will surprised Rosario by repairing her old vintage printer and cleaned up her garden.

My favourite scene would be when Will and Rosario hum the song "Loving you-Minnie Ripperton" when talking about their favourite song of all time over the dining table and Rosario dancing and singing to her favourite tune. So romantic!It was fufilling watching such a sweet,touching and meaningful movie that i didn't feel tired. Must be the great seats we got =)
