Sometimes, when we are so caught up in the mighty turbo-speed world, in tangles of friendship, work and pace, its hard to face the fact that we've lost touch with the simplest joy life can give us. When the world starts to manipulate some and give others a plastic sheet to paint their wide grins - why not touch deep and remember the little things which gave you moments of bliss.
Petting a kitty's soft fur, having her follow me to my home, my darling Kibbs bounding up to me in a excited fluff of fur, getting jealous when he scented the kitten on my hands, a baby's laughter - all these just lifted the corners of my mouth a little.
Long gone are the days after which I return home at 2 from school, taking Kibbs down for a long yawn walk, and be back home downloading songs and blogging.
I'm glad to be able to relieve that memory today.

Today calls the close of 2011.
Here I am as a very much different person from when I wore CJC's uniform for the last day on A levels Physics MCQ paper.
Well, for one, I'm constantly blasting Taylor Swift's music as of recent (credits to you know who).
I've finally gotten the brown, curly locks I've been moping about for since 2007.
I've gotten into a steady relationship which is kinda steady (1 year 5 months) for somebody like me and my boyfriend who at first glance doesn't really look like people who commits. Yeah, both of us surprised ourselves I guess.
I've had experienced many new emotions this year - fervent heartbreaks, euphoric heights of bliss, actually get deeply and emotionally affected for someone else's plight and gifts, and my personal caving in because of my results. I'd never felt so sore over them even back then when I used to get E8s for A math and am the constant black thorn in my math teacher's brilliant class.
I've actually gotten a real contractual job for a 5-month period and quickly grew to hate the mundanity of it all and attribute my tolerance to the presence of my two dear friends Jocelyn & Melissa, and my friendly colleagues Reni & Shirley and of course my teacher & mentor, Florence who guided me, helped me and taught me.
I've also experience one of the wildest camps this year - FOC & Rag camp and am on my way to rebuild a yet even better camp for the freshmen next year.
I've finally completed something I've wanted to do for a long time - participate in an elaborated celebration. Rag & Flag was one of the best decisions I've made. No doubt I've put in what some people might call extravagant effort on an event that doesn't reap anything and draws to a nil upon performance; I've still learnt a lot and gained many many nice people as good friends and have accomplished and experienced that top of the world feeling of completing something that everyone has worked hard together for.
I've never felt so charged during school term before. Whoever told me that uni life is slacker than JC's is prolly lying. It's a mad crazy rush from week 1 to week 13 which leads up to an even crazier rush mugging for exams. Which I now confess, much to my chagrin of an afterthought, I didn't really put in that much of an effort.
Which, as of now, is also going to be a matter of the past.
I've tried my hands on baking, finally. But still, its an idiot-guide version that doesn't include an oven and lends the experienced hand of my psbff CT. Who likes initials. Hahaha.
Being 19 means I'm closer to being a grown-up and no longer in the growing up range. I've learnt to treasure those around me, especially my dearest family who's always been there since 19 nov 1992, and my boyfriend Joel since 2 July 2010 and who promised to be there for a long long time later. (ewwwww cheesy max but don't mind me please)
You've always been here even when I'm being slutty or annoying or plain unreasonable. Thanks for giving me so much, really. And being so cute sometimes. Like your most recent text "I can imagine you smiling and that's why I'm smiling now". Can't understand why we're still so goofy and silly like a fresh couple.
And that closes 2011.
Welcome 2012.
I sure hope you're not the end of the world cause I haven't lived life to the fullest yet.
Please give me more hope & happiness and I promise to grow up into a yet even more mature girl.
I know that sentence above already gives you doubts but never mind.
I'm captivated by you baby, like a firework show.
So glad to be able to welcome the new year with a firework show tonight, with you.

With a little spare time on my hand, I got creative with my blog skin.
Under the awfully heavy influence of the recent chinese/victorian/french history novels I've been reading, I've created this idyllic getaway.
How fun can these short breaks be.
Anyway.
Can my mac stop electrocuting my palms?!
yeah we're dancing on table tops

I'm back with lotsa loot to boot.
Almost lost the entire bag of it, though. XD
Saying KL is warmer than SG is an understatement. It's practically roasting in there.
I'd attribute it to the lack of shrubbery but then again it's prolly cause it's a tad bit nearer to the equator?
Even Genting isn't that cold anymore and fog no longer clouds our visions at night.
They've closed down all of my fave-four rides: Cyclone, Tobbogan, F.Dragon & Mine train. Boo.
And for the first time in my entire history of Genting visits, it rained.
Visited the same few places in KL again but this time, we're better acquainted with their rail systems.
Spent more time sleeping than shopping in this trip, so not as many buyings as I thought I'd have.
Gonna have to catch a breather today then immerse myself in more outings. Gin's house for xmas exchange tonight! :D
Something I've learnt: I'm very much grateful for the funny, closely-knit family of mine.
Oh and congrats to boyfriend J for screwing the prov. driving license with only 2 points!
Yes, no more squeezy MRT & giddy bus-rides after our dates! :D
dot.
