i want to fly & live in the sky

2010-04-09T02:15:00.001+01:00

after 5 years, i'm closing this blog. haha.

maybe one day i'll blog again. just maybe.

2010-02-03T13:24:00.000Z

I LOVE YOU NISEY. <3

2009-11-30T02:24:00.005Z

10kilos. come on yilin. you can do it.

2009-11-14T22:19:00.003Z

realise my blog's pretty dusty.

figured if i dont write something,

i might as well close it down. hah.

it's been 7 weeks into uni.

and what can i say,

apart from the fact that it has been,

the best time of my life yet.

i like the fact im mingling around

knowing lots of people.

but i think ive been socialising too much,

and not studying as much.

i should pick up my momentum.

law aint all that boring.

its very very very interesting. (im psychoing myself)

tsk.

oh well, home in 4 weeks. im excited.

til then,

ciao world.

2009-10-09T16:02:00.003+01:00

i figured that i havent been blogging bout my life.

and yes, a lot happened.

so far, school started.

new town.

new people.

im pretty happy with it.

to start off, i shall introduce my flatmates and they're awesome.

according to door numbers,

kerry - shes really quiet and geeky i must say. haha she said so herself. but shes a nice girl. i met her dad, in fact, we all met her dad. he's a nice guy too. oh and i forgot to say, she's msia. (:

taka - originally from japan but studied in uk since 12. a real cool dude. plays the guitar for his band and he's into rock music as well. and metal. a sweet guy who offers to drive us to supermarket to get stuff.

kitt - kitt's a really lovely dude. i would say he's adventurous as he tries everything i cook. yes everything. even the revolting hot and sour szechuan soup. haha. owns a ps3 so we all have a far share of fun. plus, he persuaded me into ballroom dancing and im having loads of fun. (:

holly - kitt's best friend as we all know. holly's very friendly and sociable. really nice of her to try and involve me in most of the activities. (like how we watched fame tgt!) a really fun girl to hang out with and yes, shes vegetarian. interesting eh.

jess - she's from the north of england which is the same as holly. jess has a sweet smile and very nice person to talk to i would say. she plays the netball as well. pretty active girl. i always see her geared up. but yeah, nice person to hang out with as well.

josh - last but not the least, josh. josh's like quiet. pretty quiet but ironically metal is his thang. josh has cool long hair and totally doesnt look like a chemist. (yes he studies chemistry) he's like the 5th chemist in the flat. holly takes philosophy i do law. the rest are chemist.

so there you have it. my lovely cosy flat with very lovely and awesome people.

we chill together. we cook together. clean out flat together. and live together. they're gonna be my closest bunch for the next year. hehe.

apart from my flatmates, school seems all fine so far. just loads of things to read and when i say a lot, its A LOT. but i guess first year's all about juggling work and fun!

ok im desperately in need of a nap now. freshers flu is killing me.

cheers world. photo's on facebook.
: D

2009-07-30T03:42:00.004+01:00

fb's screwed up.

but anyway.
I LOVE LIVERPOOL (:

2009-07-18T07:46:00.002+01:00

oh. i forgot to mention,

i feel like watching a movie alone today.

2009-07-18T07:43:00.001+01:00

the feeling of being dejected really sucks.

dont you think so?

noise pollution,
heat & humidity
and constant mess.
is getting into me.

sorry...

2009-07-06T16:17:00.001+01:00

dust dust. and more dust!
oh, did i mention, i dont have a bed.
):

hope the reno turns out awesome.

2009-06-16T16:39:00.001+01:00

my mum is strange.
she bakes her own birthday cake.
haha.
happy birthday mummy.
(:

2009-06-08T04:05:00.004+01:00

its been months since i seriously packed my room.
quote charlotte "your room looks as if the tornado just came"
explains why im still awake at 4am.
by the way, i started at 11pm.
oh well, i have to catch an early bus later to bristol.
meaning i have to get up in appx an hour's time if i sleep.
so i figured, im not going to bed. just in case i cant wake up.
lord bless me, may i be able to survive the day.

2009-06-06T08:36:00.002+01:00

it puzzles me.
how everything feels like yesterday was just day one.
i know, it sounds annoyingly cliche.
but i guess i grew up during the process.
(yes, the cheesiness of it, again.)
but its true.
so i suppose its time to move on, strangers.
till we cross paths.
(:

2009-06-05T14:49:00.000+01:00

very slowly..

everyone starts disappearing..

):

2009-05-08T00:06:00.002+01:00

"35 days" it shouts out to me.
maybe its because i missed 2 birthdays.
or probably my subconscious mind is getting tired.
im just feeling rather, empty.
oh. one litre of tears is a good drama.
i just finished watching it.

2009-05-07T01:01:00.001+01:00

Why does sunshine make me happy?

There’s a fine balancing act in the brain and circulatory system that regulates our moods, boosting the feel-good factor or sometimes causing Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) in winter. The hormone melatonin, produced by the pineal gland in the brain, regulates our sleep/wake cycle, but excessive levels can cause depression. The action of light on our face suppresses melatonin synthesis, therefore boosting your overall mood. Evolutionary principles could apply too. There are plenty of nocturnal primates and presumably they aren’t always depressed. It seems likely that we have evolved to prefer light to darkness because humans are active during the day.

hurry. give me some sunshine!

2009-02-19T23:55:00.001Z

vs

which should i choose to do law?
:/

2009-02-12T03:03:00.001Z

i seriously hate facebook for exposing all my unglam photos.
stop tagging my ugly pictures!

2009-02-05T23:49:00.008Z

signing up for singapore day makes me homesick.
national day songs are on repeat mode now.
im glad im home for national day at least.

singapore aside.

this is the eve of chu xi.
a bunch of us went for steamboat!

this is chu xi!
our mini "reunion" dinner.

it has been snowing, alot.

ok im too lazy to upload anymore.

take care world.
(:

2009-02-05T01:46:00.001Z

2009-02-01T23:34:00.003Z

having snowball fights.
making snowman.

what a lovely sight. (:

(more photos to come from cny. hehe.)

2009-01-23T16:01:00.003Z

i want to go home and play wii with my family
and hang out with my girls all day long.
:(

2009-01-12T22:00:00.002Z

i almost had a heart attack today,
thanks to lnat.
seriously, being confined in a room,
just you and the computer,
is pretty depressing.
you fight for time
and search for answers
as the timer ticks.
one can hardly breathe.

but anyway, all that aside.
at least its over, i feel more relieved.

for those who are wondering what have i been doing,
well, i signed up for the gym.
not exercising during winter is unhealthy.
so i gym and swim and enjoy sauna everyday now.

other then that,
school's the same.

my heart beats faster when i think of someone...

2009-01-05T18:21:00.005Z

im back in england.
thank you girls for sending me off.
(:

as for now,
new term, new timetable.
it seems much more relaxed.
but i still have to study.
lnat next week.
press on yilin!!

on a lighter note,
it snowed today.
a very nice sight
seeing the sleet showers.
but the cold is killing me.

may my heater order come asap.
as for now,
time for bbc news.

some photos from home during winter breaks.

birthday with my girls.

a solitude morning walk at sentosa

a day with the volleyballers.

ciao for now. (:

2008-12-31T17:29:00.002Z

Sometimes when we touch - Olivia Ong

You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning to see the real you

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

Romance and all its strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter
Still trapped within my youth

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

At times I'd like to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through
And hold you endlessly

At times I understand you
And I know how hard you've tried
I've watched while love commands you
And I've watched love pass you by

At times I think we're drifters
Still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again

And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

This song is on repeat mode on my playlist.

Eric Clapton-Tears In Heaven

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way, through night and day
Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven

Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knee
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please

Beyond the door
There's peace I'm sure.
And I know there'll be no more...
Tears in heaven

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

for some really yummy roast duck
b4 they made their trip back to homeland.

i dont know what was he doing.
rach's like going "whats that?!"

later i made my way to harrods
to find my parents.
my eyes dazzled like crazy inside.
if you dont know whats inside,
its like a posh departmental stall.
think isetan at shaw
with a much classier layout
and everywhere is burberry, lv,
chanel, D&G, prada etc...
its the first time i walk to the sports dept
and find myself staring at equipments for horseback riding.
the toilet's gorgeous as well
(ok i sound pervy and sua ku but its true)
theres even a table laid out with
hand cream and perfumes available for use.

at the basement, theres a princess diana memorial as well.
for all of your info, harrods is princess diana's
other half's family business.
explains the classiness.
