A Life in Black and White

am not your usual lady in the neighbourhood. i could be fun-loving and ambitions blazing, yet chilling with a good book in hand. loves audrey hepburn movies, lemon-lime-&-bitters, vintage anything and furniture. am not one effortlessly impressed. i see my goals, my dreams and the enjoyment would lie not merely in the success at the end of the road but in this journey of life. livin` it, lovin` it, keepin` it real. i travel alone, i travel light, in my 20`s - la vie est belle!

Cheers! Here's to remarkable everything!

We finally celebrated my lil piece of haven's 25th birthday in advance. :) It was nice, sweet, tons of fun and laughs, all rolled into one. 2 nights' stay at the Marriott hotel, dinner at the ship, clubbing away at Bar None (which I'd have liked to attend)...and by far the best bit was sharing the laughters and wonderful times, us 4...our very own Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha. This, I feel is indeed priceless. :)

I woke up with a smile sprawling on my face the very first morning in the room, and a wide sheepish grin coupled with a pink radiant glow the subsequent morning. I truly feel as though I'm on cloud nine! It's an unexplainable high and everything around just seems so right. Everything fits and everything has fallen into place somewhere somehow. I can't explain it at all but this is a good thing. So I've learned - Shit happens in life, but they do pass in time and shouldn't get us down. What can I say? Everyone deserves an unparallelled lychee martini ever so often, and everyone deserves a breath-taking sunset every now and then...there, enough of narcissist men, insecurities, uncertainties and the unknown...let us all take a step back, kick back those high heels, and let things work their magic...So babe, may your many birthday wishes come true every one! ;)

Already it so feels like Christmas every day...

Yet, I can't wait for X'mas and the new year...! Hehe, and I want my dark bitter chocs!

I feel oh-so-dreamy all over again...

I should be mugging my arse off for the next 2 weeks. In a way, it's a good thing coz I just wanna get my papers over and done with. I'm busy busy busy. Been making the rounds with my lil piece of haven, fashion show after show. Interesting. Jean Paul Gaultier, then Kenzo, then Levi's Ladies' Style. T'was good. Well, long weekend ahead with exciting stays away ;) and 2 more long public holiday breaks coming up real soon! I can't wait! :)

Halloween...

Christmas...

New Years'...

Wow, it's the end of the year yet again!

I have way too much on my plate at this point in time. A job to wrap up next week and I'm not entirely done with what needs to be completed by this period. Busy, busy, busy. 2 upcoming CPA papers. The only priorities on my mind now.

My head seems clearer somehow. I'd previously felt as though I was spinning around and around and around and I felt all dizzy. Ern said that I'm just scared that I'd live to regret and that I'm facing my fears now which is good, rather than face it after the whole thing...then I'm really gonna be buried in the grave dug by someone none other than myself. I guess, if its not right, for very apparent reasons, then don't, coz things will never be perfect, but if things are so stark, then its obviously not right...

O well. Back to work...

I keep trying to numb myself. I think. I pause. I ponder. I'm lost.

pourquoi?

People like to hurt themselves. Knowing full well that it will only cause pain, we'll still do it. Is pain pleasurable or is it an inborn sadistic need within us to inflict upon ourselves?

belle du jour

What does it mean to love someone? Is love an expectation? Is love an experience? Is love but an enchanting tale? A claim to love encompasses almost everything and a demand for respect in return. A claim to love involves looks of heartache and reason to blame. A claim to love is something that fleets past me. One may think one knows another but it will never be. Perhaps it could never be.

People around with patience more than the one with a claim to love. Is love selfish? Is love about compelling another to fold one's preferences? Is love really what one claims it to be?

Is this really what "all-giving" love reflects for the future? It's amazing how a father can say, "this is about her. think about what she wants and if this may be comfortable to those around her."

Truly, why should one bother to care when it doesn't even seem remotely close to what should be right?

God I pray give strength.

I can't look the other way. I can't walk towards the light. I'm gone.

myraid of colours

I feel a little sad that someone close to my heart just ended a long r/s recently. I guess sometimes when two people stay in a r/s for too long, they might just end up drifting apart instead. And, that's life for you and me.

There was some activity in the work place lately which threw me a tad off balance but I've moved on since.

Forgive my random speech but my mind hops about a lot nowadays. I'm easily irritable, yet frustrated and excitable all at once.

Happy that my lil piece of haven is back from NY and I can't even bear to open up the poster Durrow Gal bought from the Metropolitan Museum of Art for me! Thanks babe! I love it!!

Watched Kate Hudson's The Skeleton Key today. Spooky. Voodoo and what-nots. Good entertainment though I must say...

Anyway, what's with rude salestaff these days? They say anything and everything just to close a sale! I saw something which I thought was slightly pink, and expressed that had it been in white I would have hence considered buying. And, there, she insisted repeatedly it was white! I had to raise my voice a little before she would stop insisting otherwise! Ugh.

Well, food's beckoning...will update again when I can.

the morning after

I feel so dreamy. Yes, coz it all feels like a dream (something CN & MC will very much agree I think!). Three of us couples went for Jane Wilson-Marquis' debut launch in Asia at the Sentosa Golf Club and it was lovely! Also, the wonderful dinner spread, the champy flowed and all the Godiva chocs sampling was divine! The highlight of the night was of course the show that led to many gasps, and then I won a 5,000USD wedding gown from Jane's collection! Well alright, I'm still in morning-after shock, I suppose it hasn't yet set in, but I'm really happy :)

Finally updated my site's music...put it on: Grace Jones!
