It's a good Easter this year. :)

i'm so stupid! take photos with birthday girl but never take photos of the good food! arghhhh. devil's curry, pasta, nasi lemak, super nice fried chicken drumsticks, etc. sam's mom's da best. and sam baked her birthday cake again this year. can taste more baileys in the cake this year, which i liiiiiiiike :P cake is very good! and we had lots of chocolate eclairs! all the food damn good and super sinful.. haha.

and i realised i only took pictures of trixie and not gayle.. -_-" gayle's the other jack russell but much older. gayle's 8 and trixie's 3. (can you imagine in human years trixie is only 2 years younger than me? lol.)

Trixie just kissed deb but i was too slow in capturing that sweet moment, but trixie looks so cute with her tongue sticking out.

auntie asked trixie to kiss her but she refused! ('cause trixie was naughty and kena scolded just now so didn't dare to kiss. lol)



trixie's so cute!

wow. it really never fails to rain on Good Friday. and always in the afternoon.

Went church visiting since it's Maundy Thursday. went to risen christ for mass then headed to our lady of lourdes, then st. joseph's, st. peter and paul, and last stop cathedral of the good shepherd. took bus only to lourdes and walked to all the rest of the churches 'cause it's all in the same area. i think it's the hottest and sweatiest church visiting year 'cause walking plus no air-con in the churches. lol. but had fun with sam fern, deb, her mom and her cousin lesley (or leslie?), greg and rene. was really glad rene came along 'cause it's been some time since i saw and talked to her and need to bring her to church. she almost didn't wanna go but i half persuaded and half nagged her into going. :) i'm a bad godma.. haven't been watching over her spiritual side, though i know that she's been missing mass. sigh. i never realised being a godma entails so much responsibility, maybe 'cause my own godma didn't set a good example? but i understand godma's got her own family problems so i'm not complaining. sometimes i do wonder if i did the right thing agreeing to be rene's godma for her confirmation. thinking back, i wasn't yet spiritually mature to teach her anything, even now. i even have to watch myself. how to take care of others when i can't even take care of myself? surprised that i even have time to self-reflect. nowadays i myself don't even know what i'm really busy with.

i think i'm just stuck to materiality such that i'm losing sight of God. but i think i grew a bit closer to Him today. during the transfer of the body of christ, when fr. john sim walked past with the body of christ, i felt a breeze which gave a tingling sensation and had this sudden urge to pour my tears out. the emotion just hit me and it was so strong. i managed to hold back the tears but the emotion rocked me. was it the Holy Spirit? i think it was. i think it was God telling me to put all my anger and frustration and sadness down, let it out, let it go. and the universal prayer also prayed for angry children and disappointed parents to reconcile and remember their good times and their love for each other. it was definitely God's message for me. i think i had an unexpressed reconciliation with my mom today, at that point in time. thank you Holy Spirit.

i prayed for my brother and i hope he really wakes up. he's like in a warped world of his own and of course he didn't go church at all today, or the previous few weeks. what he needs is a miracle, God's wake-up call. supposed to be old enoough but still can't take control of his own life. eternal slavery to gaming, that's what i call it. my mother's another problem, but let's not go into it. say some more and i'll go crazy.

had a nice green tea frapp at starbucks after visitation and talked until they closed and sort of chased us out by flickering the lights. lol. we weren't the last to leave though. first time i took night rider home. haha. so suah ku. a bit scared though 'cause it's so late and my place there got ah nehs and china workers. was damn aware of my surroundings the entire (brisk)walk home. blah. maybe i'm paranoid.

damn tired but still watched the latest episode of ANTM cycle 10 on youtube. i'm addicted man.

now! to sleep and Good Friday service tomorrow, or later in the day, to be precise.

The sequel rawks! plot is nothing out of the ordinary, but the dance moves are still wow. and funny at times. i think the sequel is such a hit 'cause they got the original production team to work together again, [including the cutting-edge hip-hop choreographer Jamal Sims, who is joined this time by choreographers Hi-Hat ("Hip-hop's High Diva of Dance") and Dave Scott ("Stomp the Yard").] this is definitely a 5 stars movie for me. :P

*[quote cathay's synopsis]




this is a love-maki ok! haha.. bf made this for me. i was really touched i felt like crying! it's been some time since he made food for me, with lotsa love of course. XP so of course i finished everything. how could i not? it tastes really good too. aiyah, anything he makes for me tastes good.. hahaha. *in bliss*

on a side note, the photos look really blur (i swear i didn't shake!). time to save up for a nicer handphone! >_< the camera's picture quality hasn't been good. it being 2 megapixels doesn't do it justice, no point having a big picture with lousy quality right? i'm like changing my mind about getting the motorola razr2 lux edition. -_-" maybe a sony ericsson or samsung? AND, the phone's been having funny problems nowadays.. cannot get calls, or call must call a few times to get through, suddenly switch off.. must be 'cause i dropped it too many times. eeks. hope i can trade in for a good price when i do change my handphone. sigh.

anyhows! i'm going to bugis with dith tomorrow to hunt for a sundress, preferably a pale yellow one (yes, like the one i couldn't get during the forever21 spree). everytime i'm reminded of that dress, all i feel is: heart pain. lol. part of the reason i'm getting the sundress is 'cause nic and i are going to sentosa to celebrate our 4th year anniversary. :) 31st march. not very far away! can't wait. wouldn't be doing much but maybe something romantic, like buying some wine and heading to the beach to cheers ourselves to death and whisper sweet nothings to each other and wishing each other happy anniversary over and over.. i myself am getting goosebumps thinking of it. hahaha. it's become our custom to celebrate every anniversary at sentosa, yes, 4th year already! i like the fact that it holds many beautiful memories for the both of us, and going there every year just makes it all the more special. so mushy. haha. come to think of it, i don't know what to get for him! 'cause i already got him lotsa different things for christmas. :( anyways, the other reason i'm getting the dress is, i'm just so buay kum wan that i couldn't get it online. haha. yes, i deserve a nag. but that's me for you. :P when i really want something, i'll get it. not just in terms of shopping, but in other aspects in life. when i have the passion for something, i'll want to do it no matter what. like my interest in makeup. even if i can't do it full-time, i can always freelance, and if i can't do a makeup course now, i can always get an office job and save up for it. doesn't matter if it takes me a few years.

passion never dies.

heh. that reminds me, i love to bake as well. does that mean i gotta go into baking? lol. i don't mind opening a small cake/dessert shop in the future. let's say i marry my bf, maybe he'll cook and i'll bake. haha. we'll make good complements. anyways, i'm not thinking soooo far yet. see how it goes. O_o

Finally! tried the ice cream at Tom's Palette today! apple pie and salty caramel cheesecake.. damn good. the lamest thing is, i brought camera to take photos of the shop and ice cream but totally forgot. -_-" but like dith said, we can always go there again heh. and try other flavours! :) dith recommends chocolate stout. compared to Island Creamery, i think Tom's Palette is nicer, except for Island Creamery's Horlicks ice cream which is very strong and very shiok! but one very good thing about Tom's Palette is that you choose two flavours in any size. small cup is only $2.50, but for ice cream fanatics, i recommend at least medium cup. ;) can't wait for the next ice cream/food trip heh.

i've been thinking for very long about printing my name cards but never got down to calling the number auyong gave me. sigh. i think i'm just worried about the money. i hope it's not too expensive to print. and i've been wondering if i should put my picture on the name card. sigh.

i've also been thinking of setting up a blog to sell all my unwanted stuff. clearly, it's really not the right timing 'cause exams are coming soon and i should be studying and CONCENTRATING. i can imagine my bf nagging at me already. haha. he's always nagging at me to study. even worse than my mom. lol. i take it as a caring gesture. :P nevertheless, i'm still undecided. i'm dying to get rid of my things 'cause my wardrobe is exploding and it's nice to have some extra cash. some of the clothes aren't even worn. :( then, i think of all the time i'd need to spend to take photos of all the stuff, replying enquiries and meetups and posting and checking acccounts, etc. i don't want to sell at flea market 'cause all the clothes are selling dirt cheap. i feel some of the stuff i have are worth more than that. so.. flea markets/bazaars are out. unless i go to bangkok and buy stuff over to sell, that's another thing.

if i do decide to sell my stuff now, please support me ok? :D

Had lunch at Victor's Kitchen today! the place is getting so famous the dim sum's getting a bit more expensive. taste is still rather good, but cheong fun's portion shrunk a little though. haha. the standard still can't be compared to the days when the little corner was still rather unfounded at Sunshine Plaza. my bf and i miss Victor's wife who used to help out 'cause she was always so cheery and smiley whenever she sees customers. miss that smile. i think the boss's temper is getting worse. maybe hongkongers are like that. lol.

Was supposed to study at Pacific Coffee straight after lunch but ended up watching Kungfu Dunk on his laptop. haha. but i did study afterwards, it just meant there was less time for study. :P anyway, i didn't really think well of Kungfu Dunk but it was unexpectedly quite funny, and most probably better than CJ7 (which i didn't watch after hearing quite a lot of bad reviews).

Dinner has got to be the highlight of the day man. we went to Waraku at Marina Square, 'cause we both love japanese food and we couldn't think of what else to eat. :D anyway, we ordered 2 plates of maguro sushi besides a set meal and when it came, both of us just stared at the plate of sushi. normal, fresh maguro would be red, like blood red, but this maguro was a like a bleached maguro and turning kinda brown. (can u imagine that) this is the first time in my life i've seen tuna looking like this, so i told nic that "i can't eat this sushi, not even with my eyes closed". we tried to push the responsibility to each other as to who's gonna ask to change a new plate, but i did in the end. guess what? the manager AND the chef came out with a new plate and apologised profusely, i really mean profusely, for the unfresh maguro. something like "i'm so sorry, the maguro wasn't fresh so i changed a new one for you.. so sorry.." then the manager echoes "so sorry..." .... i was quite shocked i didn't know how to react. lol. just nodded and said it's ok and smiled. you know their action made me feel kinda guilty for asking to change a plate haha. like some kinda psychologial game. but the funny thing is, the maguro looked only slightly better, not brown but still looking like it was bleached. we ate it all the same. like, who dares to reject it again?! nic pointed out that possibility and i don't even want to think about what will happen. lol. just eat LAH. otherwise they will ban you from Waraku. haha. but think in a positive way: at least their service is good.

so where can you find good maguro sushi? nic recommends Ichiban Boshi, 'cause even if you go to expensive places, the quality is nowhere better. you want super fresh maguro? go to Japan lah! :P

Arrggghhh! the Forever21 yellow sundress that i wanted went out of stock before i could even order it for the spree! it's devastating.. it's like the item i die die wanna get. sigh. what to do. at least there's pictures to remember it by..




If anyone, anyoooone at all, knows where to get exactly this kinda dress, pleaseeee let me know! :)

Last wednesday, Ra, Amelia and i went to Brotzeit at Vivocity for dinner. Yum yum german sausages :) The food's good and the price is affordable, and most importantly, german beer rawks! take it from someone who doesn't usually drink beer! haha. Melia and i had the lager which is considered weak already, but i felt the dark weissbier tastes about the same. but it does seem more "fragrant" than the lager. i only realised when i wanted to post this entry that we totally forgot to take photos of the food!! argh. i'll do it next time ;) ('cause i'm definitely going there again)

anyway, i finally wore my cherry print dress. haha. bought it long ago from haji lane but never wore it 'cause.. i think the excuse is that i didn't have a proper cardigan to go with :P i'm glad i didn't try to sell the dress though, considering it's been almost a year in my drawer. >_<

fyi, i didn't take this picture (the above, of course) but got it off google images, so credits to the owner of http://c-is-for-cseek.blogspot.com.

This movie moved me to tears man. i could tell many other girls in the theatre were tearing as well 'cause of all the sniffing the ruffling of tissue papers. haha. Gerard Butler looks really good in this movie but too bad he was the one who died. It's so bloody touching the way he planned everything before he died to help her get over her grief. It's a great movie, but of course mostly girls will appreciate. i'd give it 4.5 out of 5 stars.










This movie looks really interesting! Caught the trailer in the theatre and felt like watching. Anyone wanna watch with me? :)
