Checkpoint

Results were fine. Only A was FYP. all the time spent, anguish, stress and of all, the overtime till 1130.. its just justification.

Now.. its all over. i have given myself another challange.
Function and make good chocolates.
I have the ingredients.
Good stuff.
But damn poor.
This is my only chance.
Cant afford to practise and keep trying
Planning is now the key.
Like FYP.
It has to be good.

no mistakes.
Only 1 chance to make everything right.
and go with a Bang.

Lucky friends u know..
but i'll be happy if u guys wanna pay for them. =)

Intro The Night

Like a gift from the heavens, it was easy to tell,

It was love from above, that could save me from hell,

She had fire in her soul it was easy to see, how the devil himself could be pulled out of me,

There were drums in the air as she started to dance,

Every soul in the room keeping time with their hands,

And we sang…

(Chorus)

Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,

And the voices bang like the angels sing,

We’re singing…

Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay,

And we danced on into the night,

And we danced on into the night,

2nd Verse

Like a piece to the puzzle that falls into place,

You could tell how we felt from the look on our faces,

we was spinning in circles with the moon in our eyes,

No room left to move in between you and I,

We forgot where we were and we lost track of time,

And we sang to the wind as we danced through the night,

And we sang…

Think i'll just wait for that girl to save me...

An artform to die for

i went for a chcoloate making class. wonderful. learnt so much.. so much new insight, inspiration.. so much joy.

Super expensive gormet chocolate that i hand made. its such a wonderful feeling.

But the down side. when i got out of the class.i crash back to reality. I called like everyone.. msged everyone. to ask out just to eat the chocs, fresh. and yeah.. each of them cost something like just below 10bucks per piece.

its a waste that theres no one to share it with me. I wont eat them all. share with my family. but i realli yearn for someone else to share them with me. more than the chocolates, the emotions.. the excitement. everything.

i spent some cash on ingredients and tools. but i guess i wont be making any for them time being. i'll only do them for important people. because i see the significance. and yeah. wont be teaching any other people too..



i'll save it all up for the special one.
and i realli hope i meet her before the chocs expire.

Rock am Ring 2007.

Caught "the best of" on MTV. starving for more.. here they are.. Jared Leto and amy lee. Nice combi..



Rockstars are all nuts.
Fun to watch Nuts. =)



Seriously.. if i can get a girl like her, eyeliner.. killer lungs and all.. i'll be such a happy whimp. hahah.. i have a soft spot for girls like her =)

haha.. i stumbled on this aft that.. the 2 of them together on the same stage.. yes. amy lee is hot and jared borrowed her eye liner.. best part? the moonman for best grp video when to all american rejects. Mainstream triumphs? hahaha.such irony..

The day that godiva cannot live without

Happy Valentines Day ! hahah.. ok.. i got my selfish wants.. Canele.. deadly black forest Crepe, chocolate cake and L' amore ice cream... seriously.. chef pang is god.. and the stuff that comes together is heavenly...

anyway.. i realli good things happen to those who wait... early in the morning, by early i mean like 1130, i went to get a box and extra stuff for packaging the chocs.. went out in my black topman shirt.. all black.. just felt weird.. came back.. without lunch.. and started hell-gate-ing.. after 3 shirt changes, then i finally decided to wear my new crumpled white shirt.. just for conversation sake.. haH.. wHy U NeVer IrOn? hahah

went to a paper shop for the first time in my life. Prints seems so relac.. hahah.. theres so many things to decide which shade or type of white paper to get.. thickness.. feel.. and.. for the first time.. i thought that i'm realli not that picky.. and i realli will have problems deciding which to get.. hahah.. prints will do for me.. despite the obvious mark up of prices, but its fine with me.. hahah..

sometimes being that quiet is not a bad thing.. its not that i'm bored la.. just that i warm up to people slow. hahaha.. but yeah.. new friends are cool.. i esp like straightforward people.. just fun to watch.. hahah.. unrelentless tackling of others.. but.. how nice would i be direct and just be urself.. and enjoy the expressions on others. =)

New company is fun. enlightening experience. Happy valentines day afterall.. =)

anyway.. i got the king of Hearts.. like on valentines day.. what a pun? hahaha

p.s to protect the identity and add a tinge of mystery.. a wee bit of photoshop was done. =)

<- Black forest crepe from canele. To die for =)

Complex stuff.

Ok. its valentines. I'm making chocolates, teaching hx and her sis how to make chocs.
Made some.
Gave to shiying.
maybe make her happy.
I have demand.
I can make people happy with nice chocolates.
I thought i can survive off other peoples' happiness.
i cant.

Why cant i just be selfish for once?
i grumble alot.
For those who try to make me happy,
i throw it back into their faces and i run.
what the hell am i doing?

count the eggs in ur basket?
or make do with what u have?
all sounds so sick..
but i don know what i want exactly.

happy valentines.
p.s. i'm such a sucker for greys.

When things don work out

Deadline coming.
Need to keep the quality up too.
This time i realli need to give good stuff..
will i be able to do it?
will i have time?


Just get it out of my head and start facing reality.
Sometimes.. u can onli trust urself to get the work done.

Its just stuck in my head

Somehow.. its now the new loop song in my head...

need to get the file..

Seems as though my choice is coming clearer.

Throw away the delusions..

Now. Its closer to nothing.

All but smoke.

Despair and loneliness indeed?

I'll try so hard to prove that u're wrong

Serendipity

went to return immuno text to pep.
met alex. spent the next 7 hours with him.
shopped. ate. alot. and repeated.

hahaha.. fun just talking rubbish while shopping.
a guy that u can count on to luff at ur jokes.
make u feel that you're funny.
hahah..
and yeah.. guy talk.. alot..


anyway.. stuck on that book.
puts what i learnt in the 3 years into nice perspective.
of evolution.
adaptability
and just the wonderful design of life.

ATCG. 4 bases. millons of codes. many many uses.
changes perspective on mutation.
Not random in many cases..
and even puts darwin to the test.
but don fault him.
people in his time don know bout DNA yet. hahah

But the whole idea of understand the codes is.. very very tempting.
if u can make mutation hot spots.
and if u know genetics,
u can make hot spots in specific genes.
they go nuts.
u get xmen.
genetic engineering is something not to be thrifiled with.

and the whole idea of systems for variation.. is so cool...
so we are meant to change.. but.. only at certain places..
what if something else changes?
mutation?

or evolution?

dark territory.
