the season of reds - chingay
i just love carnivals, i wish we have more of that in singapore, like those they have in europe which my bf has been to recently...soooo fun to dress up and party on the streets! i guess we would just have to make do with chingay, oh well, it's not all so bad. thanks alvin for the tickets, though we got there rather late, so we could only sit along orchard road and watch. sadly we were sitting opposite orchard emerald, about 30m away from the performance area, hence we couldnt really get a very good view of what was happening. we were kind of at the 'backstage' where the floats and performers waited for their turn to proceed to the 'centre stage'.
nus kent ridge hall float..so proud of them! i know how painstakingly long it does to do a float, and how much effort they must have put in...my pic doesnt do them justice though.
the team singapore gym team, performing stunts in the middle of orchard road. scary man..what if she just flies off..
me and diana//me and alvin
me and marvin//me and jas
after chingay it was close to 10pm. we had a quick meal to fill our growling stomaches before heading down to villabali, a very nice chill out place at alexandra road. highly recommended! you would feel like you're sipping wine right smack in the middle of a jungle.. a different feel from the conventional pubs.

the next step
i'm still constantly making new discoveries about myself. i know, i'm 22, already. is a 22 year old supposed to know-it-all about herself? should i have already passed the teenage phase of discovering my 'self-identity'? i still dont know what i wanna do, where i wanna be...just when i have an inkling of oh, perhaps this is the road i want to be heading, then something comes along and tells me that it doesnt feel very right. i cant seem to make out what i really want. do i want a high powered up life, climbing corporate ladder, earning big bucks, enjoying a luxurious life? or do i want an okay, easy going life, and do the things that make my life a happy life? you know..like having a flexible life style, having time to do things, to travel, relaxed and stress free... or working late hours every night, a fast paced life, perhaps being able to travel abroad to work, having my life revolves around my career.. it's kind of like in school actually. hmm...
sigh, i'm really a neither here nor there person. it's driving me crazy.
i was just telling ryan, i think that i have it too easy in life so far, which is why i'm too lazy to even strive for anything now. because i never had to. after pri school came rgs, after rgs came rjc, after rjc came nus, i never had to fight, oh well i dont count studying hard to meet the grades 'fighting'. a smooth transition from one to the next, that's what it has all been about. i never really had to think hard about what step to take next. but NOW...i really have to work my brain cells hard. where do i go from here, in a few months' time?
jaded, i admit i've been feeling rather jaded recently. sarah asked me whether it was because i had exposure to 'life' much earlier than others. grew up too fast? i started working when i was 14. you know it's the first time you actually said something so serious to me, sarah tan?? hahah must be the semi-drunken states we were in... but anyway your words did strike a chord.. i cant give up on life... the world is BRIGHT!!! i've got to liven up! (dont worry i'm 101% not suicidal, too afraid of pain ahah..)
which is why i'll be going sentosa to take photos of the flowers tmr... hehe...
monday night
me and andre once again doing our act-cute-photowhoring. outside swensens waiting for davis and jon to come after their 'ecas'...did i mention we waited for almost 2 hours odd?? from 12 AM to 2 AM??
tuesday night
ktv with my colleagues: tracy's butt and joey
me and my wonderful wonderful boss, sean who can sing reallllyyy well!
one big happy family
wednesday night was spent crazily zouking with sarah, marvin and cheekeong, as well as chris and his french colleague who joined us later. we jumped back and fro from velvet to phuture to zouk and then to phuture again for the last 10 mins. it has been a while since i clubbed till zouk closed. it was great fun peeps! i'm not sure whether chris and the french dude enjoyed themselves as much as us... ooh but i must say it was terribly romantic to listen to the guy speak french..ummmmm~

happy happy chinese new year
my darling bro and sis, and that's me in the middle, red like an ang bao.
mum and dad
lunch at home on chu er, it has been a long long long time since our family had a meal together on the same table at the same time....
it's steamboat time! i was never particularly fond of steamboat...because i'm a lazy bum and i prefer being served!
i've been feeling rather hermitish. i still get bored often, i dont think i'll ever stop feeling that way, even when i'm 40 or sth... but anyway when i check up my phone to see who i can ask out to, there doesnt seem to be any appealing number to dial, or any interesting to do for that matter. ok there are always my closest friends to hang out with, the people whom i can trust with my life, but haiya..everyone has their own lives. perhaps it's just the time of the year to spend some time aloonnne. cheers to solitude. what an ironic thing to say on chinese new year.
i've been rather aloof too. choosing to ignore my msn msgs to do my own stuff, ignoring smses, ignoring phone calls, or taking hell long to reply. i'm NOT being snobbish, or thinking i'm too good to reply anyone..i'm just...i dont know...S-I-A-N. nowadays, i just feel that everyone wants something from me..especially boys. so perhaps all you boys out there, you should just stay away from me, i'm wary, until the day you've proven that you can be trusted...i shall keep away.
my darling and fulin in holland. they were on their way to cologne in germany, and should have reached by now. hope you're having a great time dearie! and i miss you soo!
