If there is ever a tomorrow when we're not together,
There is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe,
Stronger than you seem,
And smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is,
Even if we're apart,
I'll always be with you.

It's funny how one's 21st birthday determines one's legality as an adult.
how does it feel to be 21, one might ask.
i asked a friend this question recently, and he replied that he was getting backaches and he sees wrinkles appearing around his eyes, but other than that, all's the same. That seriously cracked me up!
Well, in all honesty, nothing's changed (except for the fact that you get to sign your own forms!).
I'm still expected to let my parents know where i'm heading. My dad still stays up waiting for me to come home.
My parents still drop me off and pick me up. I still can't cook nor iron well.
Truth is, as you get older, you realise how nice it is to be able to say "hold on, let me ask my parents first" without being given weird looks. I like that i can depend on my parents, and not have to make decisions all by myself. I like how i'm still answerable to them. I like how i can call them, and everything will be alright. This might all sound crazy to most people, but I don't think i can handle being a full-fledged adult just yet.
After all's been said, i know that i have to grow up. but isn't growing up a process? rest assured, i will get there. (: |

Dear Little Buddy and Bear
Thank you for everything! You guys have been a blessing in my life. No words can express the gratitude in my heart. We've been through so much together: from Toronto -> Montreal -> Hamilton -> NYC -> Mount Sophia. And if i had the chance to change anything about it, I wouldn't, not even one bit. Because the 2 of you are the only ones i would want to embark on an adventure with. What started off as just a group of friends that wanted to go on exchange has blossomed into a bear family (even though goldilocks doesn't know of our existence. haha!).
Thank you for making my 21st extra special for me! There's no other way I would have wanted to spend it. (: The birthday cake's beautifully imperfect, and that's precisely why i love it so much. I can safely say that's the one and only in the entire world! Thank you for the dedication! Thank you for dinner! Thank you for taking the trouble to get the pair of shoes flown over from NYC! Thank you for the WONDERFUL box filled with writings, photos and a postcard! Most importantly, thank you simply for being you. Next trip, EUROPE! (: oh yes, but before that, Pulau Ubin. haha!
There's a warm and furry (fuzzy) feeling in my heart (:
 
P.S. you know i love you!
XOXO

You know how certain pieces of music or songs evoke memories about a particular point of time in your life? It's wonderful how music has the power to do that. Well, I happen to be listening to the song "Married Life" from Pixar's animation Up. I watched the movie just before embarking on my adventure to canada. And i remember how little buddy and i used to say that going on exchange is likened to an adventure, and that niagara falls was our paradise falls. (:
Anyway, little buddy, clement and i went museum hopping, and boy did we have loads of fun! (: we always have so much fun when we out and about together! sometime 2 weeks back, we just walked around school together and had playdough ice-cream. already, we had so much fun! haha! next outing, nature walk! (:
I'm thinking about how beautiful life is. It's wrought with sadness, disappointment as well as joy and laughter. But that's precisely why it's an adventure, a journey we are forced to take. Thank God for the family and friends we have to make it all that much better. (:
This week is a good week, and I thank God for it. (:
I've been watching Pride & Prejudice, and thinking to myself: Where's my Mr Darcy? HAHAHAHAHA!

| a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down! |
[February, 21 2010 ; 11:34 pm] |
i just happened to stumble over someone's blog.
i can't help but notice how depressed he/she is all the time.
everything seems to be about how disappointed he/she is in people.
how his/her heart is in such a sorry state. and how his/her special someone has made him/her "complete".
is there really need to possess that special someone? why are we being bombarded with so much media about being "complete" only when we find our "better half"? i choose to believe that as a person, we are a WHOLE. there isn't a need to find a better half to complete yourself. why is there a need to look to someone to be happy? why is it that so many feel that we can truly be happy only if we find a partner? i, for one, am contented with my family and friends?
is there a need to impose such high expectations on friends? why make life more difficult as it already is? there's more to life than sulking and willowing in self pity. as much as friends are there to hear you out and be there for you, i'm sure they don't want to have to listen to your sappy stories all the time right. i mean, it's give and take ain't it? there needs to be a balance of happy things and sad things that make a friendship meaningful.
like the song goes "a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down... in a most delightful way!". so all he/she needs is to be move positive and quit depending on others so much! |

i seem to be missing canada a little too much.
looking at photos of friends studying overseas, i'm a little envious.
i miss the awesome weather, the wonderful people.
speaking about the weather, i really like wearing pullovers, hoodies, jackets and boots to school.
i like walking to school while it's snowing and leaving my footprints in the snow.
i like how everyone looks super cuddly wearing their winter jackets.
i like how i always feel like i'm in a movie scene with people wearing wintery stuff, playing with snow, and have mist coming out from their mouths when they speak.
i like how my hair's not fuzzy and crazy cos it's not humid like singapore.
i like the fact that i don't get sticky and oily from the heat.
oh yes, the heat these few days have been intolerable. when i was young, i always imagined waking up one day to find that Singapore has "drifted" away from the equator, and that we finally have 4 seasons! i shall keep dreaming. (:
anyway, tmr's chinese new year. (: just had my reunion dinner today, which was wonderful as usual. i helped to cook chicken rice. (:
went to town to collect my white cheongsam yesterday. and IT FITS!! (:
my aircon's not working. OMG. i'm gonna crash my parents room cos there's aircon. HAHAHA!
XOXO |

i like how it's nice and dry over in canada. it's so humid and warm here. omg. my face is breaking out in pimples.
so anyway, valentine's day falls on chinese new year this year. i never was a fan of all this valentine's day hullabaloo, well, i'm still not a fan of it. it's just a marketing gimmick, if i may say so. the streets are full of people selling flowers, heart-shaped knickknacks and whatnot. what's worse is that the entire university is also abounding with the same stuff. "love is in the air" so they say. the world needs more than just 1 day of love, i'm sure. don't get me wrong, it's not the "i-don't-like-valentine's-day-because-i-didn't-receive-any-presents-from-anyone" syndrome. i just don't understand why love is only being expressed so overtly on vday.
after all's been said and done, it's nice receiving a valentine's day present ain't it? as much as some detest the idea of valentine's day, receiving a present makes it, well, all that "not-so-bad". this year, i received a bear with my name printed on its shirt, and as much as i don't like the idea of vday, i really like the bear and the intention behind it, but not so much the occasion. i still think that receiving a gift or an expression of fondness during valentine's day doesn't make it any more special than receiving it anytime else. nonetheless, i would like to thank the person who gave it to me :] i totally didn't see it coming.
mummy and daddy are on leave today. getting last minute chinese new year stuff and giving chinese new year goodies to some friends & family. i'm heading to town later this afternoon. gonna collect my cheongsam and meet clement for a bit. then off to church for choir in the evening.
side track: i can't wait for gossip girl to commence in march!
XOXO |
