Quiz Time
Yeah! It's New Year and I'm bored at home. First time ever that I'm bored at home. Usually I'm bored in some relative's house. Hah!
Anyway, in case you're bored like me. Here's something to make u sit up.
"What?" you ask, squirming up from your previous slouched position.
Soul baring, secret telling! So here it goes...
| Your Love Life Secrets Are |
Looking back on your life, you will only have one true love.
You've been deeply wounded in the past, and you're still recovering from that hurt.
It's important to you that your lover is very attractive. You like to have someone to show off.
In fights, you are able to walk away and calm down. You are able to weather the storm.
Break-ups can be painful for you, but you never show it. You hold your head high. |
Never knew I was so sentimental. Hah!

Selling out
This is what it takes to buy me out.
| On Average, You Would Sell Out For |
$284,274 |
So am I cheap or immoral? Or both?

I'm not weird
In response to this friend of mine who ended our MSN conversation with the parting shot:"You are one weird chick". I am proud to announce that I've been certified to be:
| You Are 40% Weird |
Normal enough to know that you're weird...
But too damn weird to do anything about it! |
I'm not weird leh! Just restless every so often...
*heh*

CNY
Dunno if it's coz I'm growing older... but CNY seems to have lost its charm.
"New Year! I wanna love you forever!"
Sigh...
How fleeting is affection.

Washing day
So it's 2 days to CNY and I'm at home, supposedly taking a break from spring cleaning. And spring cleaning is for me, largely about doing laundry coz:
1. My Mom insists on teaching independence by not doing my laundry for me.
2. I'm hardly ever at home long enough to wait for clothes to dry in the sun and then bring them in.
3. I have a lot of clothes so I don't have to wash them and still have clean clothes. (This is my favorite reason!)
But okay, okay... it also doesn't help that,
I'm freakin' lazy.
But anyway, the main point is:
Clothes folding will be a breeze from now on!
Check out the video! I'm quite sure I can master it... Probably after watching it another 180383 times.
Heh!

*bling bling*
With like, practically the whole world getting attached... (ya, I know my world's very small) I'm becoming like this massive light emitting object, like you know, the sun (ya, the world orbits around ME!) radiating light without anything like, let's say, a moon for example.
And I'm like, extremely irked by this state of affairs. (quite an ironic choice of word, I know.)
Seriously, as much as I'm pretty good at illuminating and providing life-giving energy to dates (ok, so I think too highly of myself. Like, so?), I like seriously need to hang out more with SINGLE people. Yep, 'single' as in S-I-N-G-L-E. Not attached but separate, independent, autonomous entities. You know what I mean?
And NO. I'm not lonely. I just am soooooooo not pleased at having to play lightbulb/gooseberry. Rolling my eyes all the time at cloyingly saccharine displays of affection is like, soooo tiring my eyes out.
So pass me the facial blotter and the powder for my nose, I'm so making sure that I'm not gonna shine.
To the non-dating, happy singles out there:
Lunch?

Pretty Right?
There are some things which are so wonderfully and beautifully made that I can't find it in myself to bitch about them coz they really are so talented and beautiful through and through...
Like these!
Earrings which my friend (who is incidentally also beautifully and wonderfully made) Lilin hand crafted! I've linked her site up on the right column. Go take a look.
They come with really cool names like "Lantern glow", "Velvet Roses" and "Mademoiselle Kitty" which (coincidently) are the ones I love.
This is one of those times when I'm once again glad that I have my virgin lobes intact so that my physical limitation curbs my compulsion to buy up all of her wonderful creations!
Anywayz, because you read my blog and I'm sure you're beautiful and with good taste, like... me? Just include in your order form that you're my friend and you get 20% off! Cool to be my friend rite? Haha!
This is what I'm wearing now... Charmingly hand made with love...

Not so pretty girls
Now, we all know that beneath the veneer of docility, sweetness and the glorious singing voice, Disney-princesses are in fact very devious, scheming, dangerously intelligent women. How else do you explain overworked, underpaid domestic servants (Snow White) and mute, socially maladjusted charity cases (Ariel) ending up as queens?
I'm quite sure the happily-ever-afters couldn't have been achieved if not for a lot of behind the scene manipulation.
So taking a leaf from these gorgeous and gifted women...
One wet, steaming, innocuous afternoon, I got a certain Badass (with wonderful ass!) to buy half of a pair of couple watch. And once the bands were slipped over our wrists...
They transformed themselves into silken handcuffs!
Badass is now chained to me!
Forever!
*evil laugh*
So yea... I got me some "friendship watch". They're really cool coz the watch faces and bands are like those rulers we had as kids. You know, those with ribbed plastic surfaces that displayed different pictures when you tilted them at different angles? Yea... they're called holograms.
I know coz I checked/did lots of research/badgered my science-y friends.
;p Thanks Vegetarian!

Knock 'em down!
Friends who know my life (aka sob) story would know that I picked up my "don't mess with me" look after a series of knock-outs. Being the nice older cousin that I am, I've decided that these kids need to be given a head start in life.
So here you go: the terrorized...
Go for training...
"Hah! Don't mess with me ah!"

Compo 1: A Good Girl
Today was a hot and sunny day. I woke up early in the morning so that my daddy can send me to school. My father is a very nice father, he is always very nice and patient to me. I love him so much. When I grow up, I want to marry him. But my mummy say cannot, because children must obey rules. My mummy says: "First come first serve".
When I reached school, I went to the library to use the photocopying machine. The photocopying machine is very interesting, it shoots green lights many times to make me feel sleepy. So, when I went to class, I was very tired already.
(ed: sleeping only for 4 hours didn't help either)Today I am a very good girl because I follow my timetable exactly. I have a very pretty teacher who helps me to be a better girl. She teaches me to follow my timetable and don't be late. I will also go to bed soon because it is my bed time. See, I am a very good girl. If my teacher say I must try, I will do my best.
I have another very nice teacher. Her name is Susan Ang. One day, I forgot I had to hand in my homework. When I told her, she didn't scold me. Instead, she was very kind. I went to talk to this teacher just now. She helped me with my homework. I told her that I was very afraid that I will not do well for my exams. When she heard that, she told me that I am a good girl and that she believes that if I work hard, I can do it.
After her kind words, I was so excited about my homework that I read my textbook everywhere. In the bus, in the lift, on the stairs and outside the fitting room while waiting for my friend
(just not in the loo). I love my teacher!
In the end, I think that today I was a very good girl. I feel very happy today.
The End.

Self Irritation
People who know me would know that I am gifted in:
1. Irritating girlfriends who absolutely abhor to be touched by periodically caressing them fondly.
2. Irritating persons of authority into raving frustration by pointedly ignoring what I have been told to do and making periodic scathing, snide comments.
The first I am rather proud of as it provides me with endless entertainment on call.
The later I do hope to stop exercising as what goes around comes around and as someone soon to be a person of authority (Buahaha!), I better hope no young punk gives ME attitude.
But recently, I've come to a realization that the lack of discipline in my life is not only causing great pain and trauma to the poor folks who have to wait for me, but also a source of extreme self-frustration and irritation.
Like now, when I really should be already fast asleep.
Grrrrr.... What is wrong with me?
So now I have an inkling of how the oyster felt when she happily kept yakking, unable to keep her gab shut, thereby allowing that grain of sand to worm its way into her. And as she works on polishing and perfecting that constant irritation, what's top of her mind must be:
Remorse.
I am contrite. =(

Valid Reason?
As much as I enjoy expressing and exploring random filigree of thoughts, I'm finding updating the blog rather tedious at times. Especially when I've already done the verbal diarrhea live.

Wavering
In another time, some other circumstances,
I might have been besotted.
But because it is now, in this circumstance,
I'm just flabbergasted that I'm even thinking about it.
Strange...

Term begins!
Friend asks:
Hey, how're you.
[puzzled. Do I look like I'm not?]
Hmm... I'm fine.[then it struck me]
Oh! School starts tomorrow. And I'm upset about that.More than 16 years (a lifetime for some people) and I'm still distraught when I have to return for another term.
Such a baby!

Free lessons on Love
This seems to be a season to be thinking about love.
On a more altruistic (i.e. platonic and non-romantic) angle, a portion of my new year's resolution is to learn how to love. Properly. As a friend of mine puts it, to love with your heart on your sleeve, exposed to all, vulnerable to villains but never aching because that heart is throbbing with joy-overflowing life blood.
One wouldn't be wrong to assume that the above clarification in parenthesis is my overt disclaimer that I'm happily enjoying my sabbatical and am obviously not looking for romantic love.
But fortunately or not, at this moment, quite a few people in my circle seem to be caught in circumstances that require them to make up their minds and to move on to another stage of their life...with... or without a particular someone.
First off, before you gag at that momentary display of melodrama, I did it deliberately.
Reeeaaallllyyyyy...
See, the first fallacy of all these decision making is that you have to give a black-white, yes-no answer immediately. I'm not advocating stringing people along but when you get that "Wanna go steady not?" question (which no one has ever asked me! Not in those exact words anyway. Thank goodness!) there's no need to reply with a yes-no immediately. This is your life (and your future happiness) we're talking about here. It's perfectly fine to say "I need more time to think" (and to evaluate your character if I might add).
And no. 'Friends with privileges' is a very, very bad idea. Detrimental to mental, emotional and physical health.
The next most frequently recurring fallacy is "we can still be friends". That is absolutely the most idealistic aka unrealistic assumption ever!
READ:
You can only be friends after cooling off first.
I put that down with lots of spaces just in case you're a slow reader or learner and need more time to process/accept that. Take it from me, I've seen it from multiple sides.
If the other party doesn't care for you, then he/she probably won't appreciate your gestures of friendship as much as you would hope for. What do you end up with?
More disappointment on your part.
And if you're desperately trying or claiming to want to be friends, then it only goes to show that you're still harboring feelings. What then does it say about your resolution to "just be friends"?
Out of the window obviously.
The strategy?
Cool off. Clean breaks allow wounds to heal faster and neater.
Oh, I know I'm starting to get really long-winded and tedious. But if you're reading this and you think I'm addressing this to you, know that all this is my indirect attempt to give advise/talk some sense into you. Coz I'm somehow concerned for your welfare.
So there. Don't say I didn't tell you.

Term's starting!
Browsing through the requirements for each module is inducing a wave of panic attack!
*hyperventilates*
Strictly NO bumming around and slacking off this last semester. This girl's running on a tight schedule!
Let's do some listing:
1 ISM which isn't supposed to be too demanding but my essay writing skills seem to have dissipated in the last semester! Help me get my mojo back!
2 "hot-spot" days which I might waste coz I have a
3 day week. Which translate to the necessity of truck-load of self-discipline, of which I am sorely in need of.
4 examinations cramped within a span of
5 days. Yes, I know I seem a little academically suicidal. Not yet. Almost.
okay...Better make a mental note to remember to breathe.

Girls' Night Out
More pics on Flickr!
Just back from a night out with the girls. It's been a while since we've met up as a whole group. So, tonight was exceptionally nice...
Lots of laughs as usual, but now things are at a more...erm... adult level? Adult in the PG sorta way and also coz, it has really been quite a while since we've known each other. And in the years since we bade secondary school farewell, we've all grown quite a bit.
Heck! A certain someone has started on cosmetic surgery! Soon we'll be discussing botox over lunch!
But I think we're all happier now, in some (strange) way or another. And that's good. Though I do wish that all of us could be happy in a less destructive (and alcohol-induced) way... Thinking about this makes me kinda sappy. Guess I really do love my bunch of girl friends.
In a straight way! You bo-bos!
=P
And p/s: the waiters at the Balcony are (pre-NS) cute! *keke*

Because you bugged me
A certain pretty miss has been repeatedly reminding me about my horrendous negligence towards this (also very) pretty blog.
Because I'm about to go out and because I don't really have the precious entity known as online efficiency, I'm gonna be posting pictures!
A slim slice of what has been occupying me while I'm not blogging (and reading blogs!)
Went to China with these people...
... and ended up with a team gathering with these people! (don't ask me how!)
and hmm...
My feet are sore from my wrong posture.
My butt is aching from falling.
My arms are aching from picking myself up.
My thighs are aching from unfamiliarity with physical activity.
But my heart's aching to go skating again!
No pictures from skating though. Let's just see it as a teaser for people to volunteer to teach me skating. Coz I'm sure it'll be entertaining to watch me fall.
Again.
And again.
*bleah*

New Year. New Blog!
Hello. Happy New Year and welcome to the new blog!
For some strange reason, while other people change their blogs' layout periodically, I seem to move blogs as regularly. But anyhow, whatever the motivation, I'm glad to be back at blogspot—home in cyber space...
*bursts into chorus*
Where creativity roams,
Where fingers and keyboard can play.
Where seldom (will be) heard, a discouraging word.
And the (silver-lined) skies are not cloudy all day.
Sigh. Nostalgia...
Anyway, as with housewarming or with first time visits to friends' house, a cherished tradition is the obligatory guided tour of the house, or minimally, your host's room.
So here today, at my humble abode, I’m am glad to be of service in bringing you for show and tell! Hold onto your seats coz...here we go!
*ahem*
Ladies and Gentlemen: At our first stop, if you could direct your attention to the white bar on top of your browser that says http://silver-lined.blogspot.com. I’m sure you, being of sufficient intellect to use the internet would be familiar with the saying “every cloud has a silver lining”. Conventionally, the metaphor aims to convey the idea that there's light at the end of every tunnel or that there's a light behind every shadow which is similar to the idea that there’s sunshine after the rain like how dawn follows the darkest night... Hey! My engrish power sia! *hur hur*
But I digress, silverlinings are especially important for me coz they remind me on my dark, brooding, grumpy aka PMSic days that the sun shines eternally. And if you look to the right, it says there that I’m an eternal optimist who's perhaps hanging out too much with certain individuals.
Oh! And look what we have here:
"Almost all words do have color and nothing is more pleasant than to utter a pink word and see someone's eyes light up and know it is a pink word for him or her too"
~Gladys Taber~
Yes, this valiant effort to keep the blog, or rather a blog going despite my rather lack luster performance at the last site is to maintain a platform where I attempt to meditate more, share more (pink words) and work at keeping channels of communication open. So if you do drop by, don’t let it be a guilty voyeuristic pleasure... the tagboard is there for your convenience. Say "hi", ask me out, tell me you love me (not necessarily in that order though. I like surprises…usually). For me, it’ll be great to know who’s been here. Communication is two ways ain’t it?
Hmm... well, I guess this is about it. But before you leave, let me introduce someone I got to know rather intimately...
Check out Teenage Mutant Tuna Turtle!
I made his acquaintance and he acquainted himself with my tummy (which incidentally has been funny recently).
Yummy!
