disaster!!!

Due to rave reviews from my cousins, I went to try out De Novelle for a haircut. Had resisted cutting my hair for the past month because I wanted to make sure I made full advantage of cutting my hair before I left for UK. Then, the day came when I decided to embark on my journey to the hairstylist De Novelle. Well, this is one of the most major disadvantages of having bad eyesight. When a four eyed toad gets a haircut, he/she will never be able to see the progress of the hair being cut until he/she puts on her glasses. And that was what happened to me, i took off my glasses not knowing what to expect and fully entrusted my hair into the hands of, ok just call her Novelle. So Novelle cut and cut and cut and when i put on my specs, WTF!!!! it's almost botak. My grandmother oso can cut la like this.. Very disappointed I went home and immediately sought the opinions of my friends. I personally feel I look like a dickhead la.. so no amount of consoling will help. But most of my friends were nice and didnt use terms like dickhead or cheebye face or chao lampa. hahaha. but still, bad day to cut hair lah.

I saw Clara's stupid face for the first time in three years. It's not that she never had a webcam but I just didnt bother to catch up with her much. There comes a time when one realizes that having one group of friends is just not enough. I treasure my malaysian friends and all but I do understand they themselves have their own lives to live and their own friends to hang out with. So it's great that it isn't too late to rewind and catch up on the good ol' times I had with my sg friends. And it's so sweet of them to still share their lives with me and bother telling me their long stories of their drama-filled lives. haha... it's like I never left. I may have some good news soon... :)

best relatives in the world

i've got the best relatives in the world! like seriously.. today went over to my aunt's place to say my goodbyes and my cousin presented me with this really sweet gift: a compilation of all the photos we took throughout the years AND.. coupled with the background music of Michael Buble's Home. Confirm trying to make me cry lahh.. I didnt cry though but I'm guessing down the road, maybe during the first week in Reading, when i'm all alone in my room and lonely, i whip out this CD and damn.. those tears are gonna roll. haha.. But really am touched by the actions of my relatives. I've been away from them for most of my life but they have done nothing but make me feel welcomed and loved in KL. Apart from the lovely CD, my aunt and uncle organized a get-together for all the relatives and cooked my favourite dishes and another aunt and uncle baked a cake for me and prayed for me. My cousin brought me out for jap buffet and bought me a tshirt too. I totally didnt expect anything like that and all these gestures are just gonna make me miss home even more. :( But thanks a load!

five loaves and two fishes

Had my aunt and uncle pray for me today before I left for UK. It felt liberating to say the least; i hadn't prayed in ages, so much so that praying today felt alien yet fresh. funny how people only go to God whenever they're in need of something and whenever they want out of trouble. I guess praying only comes naturally when things go out of hand and high intervention is needed to get out of the situation. Anyway praying today felt good and I really should do this more. It's not easy staying close to God when there are so many distractions in life and sometimes, the only person worth trusting is yourself.

Finally caught up with so many friends who I've neglected for a long time. on msn of course.. Clara, Grace, Jeslyn, Shimin, Derek, Nad, Nav. I resolved to keep in close touch with my singapore friends when I left but am ashamed to say that i had since not been a man of my word. It's no wonder people say long distance relationships never last. Despite my bochap attitude, I'm lucky that these people haven't left me in the lurch. Always so N2 to meet me and would go through all lengths to make me feel like i'm part of their lives. I promise to keep to my resolution from now on. It was great catching up and knowing that people still care after sooo long. It's one of the main reasons why Singapore will always stay close to my heart. I'm lucky to have had such great friends and to still have them till today is a blessing.

Countdown: exactly one week to me flying! my mind's a whirlwind, constantly picturing and anticipating. I really should stop.

enough of hiding

it's 3.18am in the morning and what am i doing creating a blog? apparently i'm way too idle for my own good and sleep doesn't seem to intrigue me any longer. i dont know how long this blog is gonna last, it may be just a phase. you know, nothing productive happens after 2am and what i'm doing now may not sound appealing anymore after a good night's rest. besides, i've had blogs before and their life span ranges between a good whole year and 2 days.. yes, 2 days. it was probably one of those emo nights when i chose not to confide in anyone but my computer and it proved to be therapy for my brain and emotions since the blog lasted only two days. see, whoever said blogging isn't an outlet for frustration and misery?

a new blog for a new chapter in life perhaps. leaving for good ol' bri-en in less than two weeks' time and maybe, this blog will be an outlet for me to vent any anger instead of throwing tantrums on my new-found family. besides, i'm predicting that most of the ranting and raving on this blog for the next year (if i do keep it THAT long) will be directed on black sheep of the new family. i'm already tabulating a list of names who'll most-likely or are even already confirmed a spot as one of those black sheep. but anyway, diary, wish me luck because as much as i'm ecstatic to leave malaysia, i'm expecting more company than Happiness, Bliss and Laughter. I hope uninvited guests Conflict, Drama and Backstabbing don't show up. Pray for me please..
