Chinese New Year.

This is the first year I'm actually celebrating the extended chinese holiday. I mean, school has started, yet there's still events to attend at friend's house, be it tonight's awesome dinner at travis's, or tmr's mahjong session at loi's house. It would be the first year I actually spend it with friends. Whereas in the past it was only the two days of visiting, reunion dinner, and having relatives visit, plus the chinese new year goodies (:

still a week more of it left, and a whole lot of homework to go.

it's  all about connections.

i'm hungry. ate the yearly Reunion Dinner about 6 hours ago? no wonder i'm hungry. 

i doubt i'll be blogging much this year, with more agonizing distractions to think about. and i'm finally trying to cut down on com time. keep it up pam! 

finished the forth book of Kushiel's Legacy: Kushiel's Justice (kris! hurry up and read them!), and i really feel the urge to talk like the characters in the book. 

On the morrow, tis' a day for collecting the red packets of the wedded and the elders, for a show of respect. Though the young ones only look it on the face of the monies, accepting with glee on their faces. Aye, the happy grins on thy faces would allow one to forgive them all.  

ok..twas was difficult enough. i'm off to bed,

goodbye my loves, for Elua knows when i'll be back.

36 hours into the new school term, and i feel terrible. 

maybe it's just being the fourth  year of still being in NJ.

maybe it's because it's the last year of being in NJ.

maybe it's because it's Senior High 2.

maybe it's because all the teachers have already stressed that A's are in 10 months time.

maybe it's because i'm feeling pressured from homework already.(not to mention they were meant to be done during the holidays)

maybe it's because my classes have changed, and i feel depressed being apart from my friends. (let me go back into 2ge21A/2ge22A please.)

maybe it's the weather playing with me.

maybe it's just all in my mind.

my teeth is going to rot soon.from...

macarons!

this was meant to be my new project: phone pouch! but unfortunately my sewing machine is incapable of sewing zippers, and thus i am stuck.

silk-screening on a random piece of cloth as a tester turned out pretty well as a door-name?

NEXT:

Victoria's Secrets Fashion Show 2008 highlights!

ok, basically like i said, hot bods, pretty faces, great pieces of clothing, great atmosphere, good music, makes one great memorable show.

first up, my favourite model in the show.....Doutzen Kroes! she just has this really sweet pretty face, and on the runway she's got charisma and sass (:

next, favourite outfits:

and then this year's show had a lot of WINGS too!these are just a few..

this would be my favourite pair of wings. the butterfly intricate details and the small butterflies flying around..exquisite.


just included for fun: the most expensive 'Million-dollar bra' [love the wings too]
lastly: heidi klum's getting old. it shows on her face. [love the gladiator style-tie-ups though]

thanks to theblemish and bitten&bound for the photos.

and then i was looking at the VS site...SOMEONE BRING VICTORIA SECRETS TO SINGAPORE PLEASE. i like love the shoes, and lingerie, and stuff......but the bloody shipping rates and currency conversions WITH sales are still going to pop my eyes out.

The Victoria Secret's Show 2008. on tv.

omg it rocked. and so is the current Christina Aguilera's Back to Basics tour in Australia. too badi'm too tired now to watch. elaborate the hot bods, hot shoes, awe-inspiring wings and pretty faces tmr.

and i'll try to find pics. 

plus my latest project pictures.

today hit my own record. by others' assumptions.

it was either one of these three phrases said/asked directly at me:

" I thought you were malay"

"I thought she was malay"

"Are you malay or chinese?"

well, basically same questions, by SEVEN different people, within 7 hours, includes my boss/event manager whom i told i was chinese at the start of the day.[he asked again to confirm sometime later, just because the other event manager thought i was malay"

it gives me an excuse not to speak chinese anymore...

4 hours have seen me one paragraph or response for GP.

and this <3

spotted in CLEO mag, and looks blister free (:

i have just spent the last eight hours of the day which has tons of things lined up to be done, reading finish two romance novels. one of course started yesterday. 

but the point is, that the books tend to leave me and my mind incapable of functioning logically and properly to do work. and the result is me blasting my favourite music through the speakers and procrastinating on a already-past-5-hour-due-deadline for my GP articles that i set myself.

happy happy mcdreamy

musics got control....and i'm never letting go...i just wanna play my music..........

wish you would just be here, right here right now.

sleepy sleepy.

pam will be on hold for blogging.

events she missed blogging:

1. val's sleepover

2. lunch with peiqi + dinner with zhen ren

(2.1 not worth mentioning that was in my previous post, social 5aside hockey carnival)

3. sunday's adventure to the library and work

4. monday's double training

ta.

****

was what i felt, wanted to say, thought today's carnival was. the 5aside at hockey village was just disappointing, and dreadful, although we did get into the semis. basically, the people organizing it were HORRIBLE. they can't even get the fixtures done properly, manpower and all the tiny little details aren't taken care of. secondly, i don't like the people we were playing against. it was so bloody messy, i just lost all my recently found passion for hockey in an instant. i just felt like not playing hockey ever again.

may i add in that i was sniffing, sneezing, rubbing my nose like shit the whole day?and i still HAD to play.

adding my injury list:

a sprained thumb, scrapped index finger, bruised middle finger, squashed pinky, and another million places of abrasions from at least 5 dives today.

i'm too pissed off and tired to conitnue.

the tarot cards have spoken. i will retreat and withdraw. 

i needed cards to steel my mind against you?

 i really hope its worth it for you and me.

happy happy new year!

well, its the time again to get used to writing dates for 09 instead of 08. and 365 days more before you can say the above phrase again [exception to the chinese calendar.]

and since it's a new year, i shall not blog about the past today, including yesterday. so this morning, when it really hit the year 2009, i was alone. not that i wanted to be, but circumstances permitted me to only be with loved ones 10 mins after. but i guess 2009 made me feel a little different, like happier. maybe because i did something i thought might be one of my resolutions for this year. i wished happy new year to two couples who were complete strangers as i walked past them on the pavement as the fireworks were blasting away behind the buildings. happy happy (: and then i arrive home tired, but to a whole table full of food [malaysian snacks, but food nonetheless] and wished my parents happy new year after not seeing them for about 4 days?

so..resolutions for 2009, which i really hope i can keep up for more than a week, since some are probably repeated for the past 5 years or so..

1) Be more outgoing/outspoken, have the courage to speak up and not keep silent/speak my mind.

2) Turn my lists into actions as soon as possible! [since i always make lists of things to do, but i don't follow them exactly.]

3) Increase my concentration span by sheer will.

4) Decrease procrastinations and push aside distractions that will cause lazy-procrastinations.

5) Be nice. or at least decrease the number of harsh-sounding words coming out of my mouth even if i'm pissed, joking, or sacarstic.

6) Give my all for hockey, both NJ and Crescent, to improve skills and physical, recruiting team members & igniting passion in the team.

7) Spend money wisely, and think about investments, the recession, & the cost of baking school each time i am about to shop impulsively.

8) Don't speculate/assume things too quickly. Assess and analyze.

9) Don't think  too much/too long. it builds up stress and pimples.

10) Follow the above resolutions to the best of my ability at all costs!

i hope everyone enjoys the new year ahead with loved ones [or go find new ones to love XD ] and try your best to stick to your resolutions!
