GELATO.

Old photos from the weekend before my 18th birthday. I had an uber advance fancy family dinner at Carpaccio. They have real good food and real good service. Shame coz im not a fan of italian. But still, mum's choice. And we are so obviously underdressed coz i thought we were just gonna grab some pizza or something so there i was..in the midst of L.B.D's and suits, wearing tragic cutoffs, my ex's cardi and a leopard nightie..(with something underneath, ofcourse).
ohwell...at least id know better next time. hoho.

...

My grandpa just died.

SMIRK.YOU.JERK.

THis is why i love daisy lowe.
Her face exactly describes how i feel. Im still blocked from Facebook, courtesy of M.
@#*&^@*&$^*&!!!!!!
So sorry for the past photoheavy posts.

I wish i have those batman sunglasses/mask thingys too from luella bartley. i might be mistaken. i forgot. Im too full of thai food to think right now. blame it on sodium overload.

But honestly, I do love Thai food. It all started on a shopping trip last week with my mum. We were too exhausted to walk and were stuck waiting for the boys in Glorietta 3. I dragged my mum to the nearest resto, Dusit Thani...and was kinda hesitant at first coz the inside was kinda dingy and full of foreigners and their girlfriends.
But my weary feet got the best of me and so we sat. And surprise, surprise. The food was glorious. At least for me. I love spicy food, thanks to too many dinners with N back then. hehe.

Its such a shame the restaurant only has one branch,but do drop by when you have the time. hohoho. This is an unpaid plug, I swear.

THE.STOCK.MARKET.

So this is what i've been up to lastnight. A simple family dinner at this nice resto at Bonifacio Highstreet at the Fort. So the night was obviously full of camwhoring and gluttony. The food was okei. One word to describe it would be "filling." The cupcakes, however, definitely made my day. Im a mad cupcake person so, that just about explains why. And the place is so pretty.
Pics are mostly taken by M.

SNOOZE.

So i did stay at home. Much of a lazy ass as i was, i opted for a quiet afternoon of reading and napping than playing badminton. And yea, i was somewhat sick. The pretty flowers and the sunshine made it more bearable though. I sound like an old lady these days.

I've been reading this sewing book i got from FullyBooked last year. As you can see, its about deconstructing thrift store finds to improve them. There were tons of interesting projects in it, but i dont feel like rigging the sewing machine just yet, so i just grabbed a pair of tights and my dad's sharpest snippers and made thigh-highs. hohohohoho. Who said i cant deconstruct?

oh and excuse the dirty mirrors. Im too lazy to wipe them off.
Well, i better rest, i have a long night ahead.

HOT.DAMN.EGGS.AND.HAM.

I got a lovely present today to add to my collection...



As much as they made me smile, i kinda hope the kind of lanvin i got was a fabulous steel toed boot or any of the dresses below from their fw09 collection.
Especially the last one on the right.hmm.
The ingenious combination of fur+ribbons+netting thingys+feathered bangs= drool

ohwell. so much for dreaming.

(cred:style.com, collage by me, title from the cobrasnake)

Anyway, i have a badminton tournament in a few hours. and i feel like shite.
Damn bloody arse. I guess il just stay in and drink tarragon tea. :[

UP.NORTH.

THURSDAY.

Last Thursday can be summarized in two phrases: failed attempt at cheering up and carb overload.
We drove 2 hours to get pizza when we couldve just ordered in. Odd brood we are, no?
My parents also bought too much fruits. My mum has this uncontrollable impulse of making my dad stop at every fruitstand. I was too sick of fruits to take photos. Maybe another time.
Later on that night, my parents let M and I play badminton.and i sucked.
what a life. sheesh.

Excuse the dirty shoes. I never thought this old pair would ever see the sunlight again.

oh. and apparently, N came to visit. But i didnt get to see him. Well, i did. for half a second when he passed by...new haircut. new shoes. same person.

BLA.BLA.

My parents woke me up today at 7am (too early for vacation days, if you ask me) to "go for a walk". Apparently, theyve noticed that being cooped up for too long inside is taking a toll on me. How i wish they knew better though, and know that the kind of exercise i need doesnt include parks and old people doing their stretching. Its more on carrier bags, bright lights, cheerful salesladies and lots of clothes.
ohwell.
While walking, my mom asked me what I planned to achieve in my life.
I didnt tell her though. I have this complexity where i find it awkward and queasy to reveal too much to people. Well, not everyone, of course... but to the general public (to which this blog is aimed at...hmm. such a contradiction). nevermind..

So I just thought about it and i came up with this list.

1. learn another language.
well. I've had this goal for so long, and i almost achieved it. but too bad. N wont be around to teach anymore.

2.do good in school+be a doctor=everyone happy
enough said.

3. make my own clothes
does this give you an idea of how weird my mind works sometimes? too much gossipgirl, if you ask me.

4. travel.travel.travel.
I just love the way an airport smells...coffee+cinnamon. and the clean toilets. and the pretty photographs. and shopping. and meeting people. gawd. i wish.

5. take pretty photos
I think i still have hope in this one. i just got a new camera. but a new perspective is what i really really need.


Hmm. THinking about all this is making me tired already. hoho.

BLACK.BALLOON.

Elevator straight into my skull
the escalator rises as it falls
i swear our jet is crashing in my mind
you can hold on but i wouldn't waste your time

farewell my black balloon
farewell my black balloon

i've stood in a thousand street scenes
just around the corner from you
on the edge of a dream that you have
has anybody ever told you, it's not coming true ?

farewell my black balloon
farewell my black balloon
farewell my black balloon
farewell my black balloon


***i swear im not turning into a melodramatic mush. it was just pure coincidence that this song by 'the kills' were on my playlist today. maybe not coincidence...i did like this song for ages now because of the catchy tune and the fact that you can sing along with half of the song on your first time of hearing it.

okei..im gonna stop babbling bout song anatomy now. To keep my mind from wondering into the deep abyss of my sad life, ill just keep this post short and accurate.
i like the kills because they sound like they snort rugby for breakfast and they are sickkkkk..in a good way. and they dress like it too.

ima shut up now.

NICE.TO.KNOW.YOU.GOODBYE.

It's one of the basic laws of physics.
What goes up..must go down.

Same thing with life. Good things come to an end. A lot is changing and is about to change in my life right now...the argument whether i have a choice in it or not is not my concern anymore. I've come to peace with things. I guess its just time to mark this as one of the best chapters and move on.

So yea...thanks for everything N.
