whoever said that skinny people have no sense of humor is so full of shit. this is eli's way of wishing me a happy birthday. it was so funny i knew that i had to share it with the world. so come laugh along with me....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRINCESS NATALIE PAUL.
no matter what happens, ure still the princess among us, always needing our help from the simplest things like sitting on your big fat overstuffed luggage everytime you leave to the big ass shit like covering ur backside when u get into trouble.
needless to say, mei and i are ur essential people in life (hahahaha) but before you think this is a mail about how wonderful mei and i are as ur best friends. I would like to highlight that its actually still all about you (because its ur birthday so i must give u face).
Because only such a wonderful person like my bestest friend natalie paul deserves the bestest girl pals in the world!!! ahahaahah...
theres a reason y we love u so much, or rather a hundred million reasons.
You never fail to make me smile and laugh (at you no doubt muahaha) and i know that no mattter what happens ull be there to save my skinny ass with ur big one.
after all these years and despite the distance, i know our friendship holds strong and its when we come together as 3 that we have the most fun as if the whole world doesnt exist.
Ive seen u grow from that suaku cross country girl who always get conned by pretty boys like paul tan to this grown up and all street wise hawaii chick (who still kanna conned but by black boys this time haiyo).
Ive seen u through fat skinny pimply pretty hairy crazy times.
now that ure finally finally finally 22. All i want to say is that i still LOVE YOU and will always be around to support u in allllllllllllllllllllllllllllll that u do.
Happy Birthday my dear girl. no fancy pretty online card for you.

Eating has become such a chore lately, in no small part due to the fact that 24 hrs a day is simply just not enough when you are trying to cram a whole semester's worth of work into your brain and you only have less than 2 days left.
Today's lunch was leftover porridge with leftover dishes all mixed up into one yummy bowl of mush.
OH let me return to the days of leisurely lunches and scrumptous high teas!
If orange and lemon flavoured gummy bears are the most disliked flavours, why do manufacturers insist on including them in copious amounts in the packet? Does it cost more to make strawberry or grape ones?

my birthday is coming up very soon. and before i know it, i will be 22. just like everyone else. this year, i'm going to make a difference in my life. i'm going to stop mopping around the fact that i'm lonely and bored all the time. i'm going to stop letting thomas be my whole entire life because now that he's gone, i feel like this whole chunk of me is gone as well. when our relationship started becoming sour, it was very depressing, especially for me because it was everything i've put in and everything that i cling onto u. i held onto him for support, for love, for friendship, for comfort and even for knowledge. and i realized that holding on to something too tightly has left me blind to the other aspects. and its very sad because as another year comes full circle, the person i hold onto the most has left me and i'm alone, all over again. just like how i started this hawaiian journey. so this year, before it all ends, i'm going to make a change for myself. whether we get back together or not, it has to different. because it has to be about nat now and what works for nat first before anyone else comes along.

i have a problem. with singaporeans thinking that ang mohs are some big fucks. can i please say that, they are not. in all honesty. be here in hawaii and they treat ang mohs like dirt. its almost racism at its very finest, when the minorities have the upperhand and the majorities are kneeing down and sucking everyone else's dicks.
i don't understand why people tend to think that ang mohs are better looking than asians or even singaporeans in general. I know i may not be the epitome of the perfect pretty asian girl but then again, we have so many others. plenty actually. it might just be some fetish or something. like how the americans have asian girls' fetish over here. and i can't help admit that that has worked to my advantage. but then again, do all asian boys have ang moh fetishes?
this is not one of those pro singaporean campaign posts. its just that its rather annoying that even when you look at...say, MOS and Zouk's webpages, all you see are all these ang moh girls, who are not very fantastic looking but they clump up all the pictures simply because they are white? aren't u tired of it??? i think we are generally very pretty people. attractive if you must push it. there's so much variety within our population and even though white girls are pretty, they should not be what we aspire to become.
i'm not saying that we shouldn't like white girls or any type of inter-racial preferences. I just think that as asians, there should be a greater push towards our own kind. the ang moh appeal may be quite tasteful to some but for most of us, its something so far-fetched. we are equally, if not, more attractive than they are and just because someone is white, it doesn't mean that they are better?

tis' the season to be jolly~
xmas is my favourite time of the year.
and i didnt realise that its actually drawing near until i popped by starbucks today and
Lo and Behold...
TOFFEE NUT LATTE!!!! MY FAVOURITE!!!
i love this and await its arrival every xmas season.
maybe its the fact that its only available once a year.
but drinking it always makes me feel all warmy and fuzzy and ready to snuggle up for xmas.
i suddenly miss my part-timing at starbucks days cos nat and i used to be able to drink coffee for free.
and come to think of it, those days, though unproductive and aimless, just waiting for A'level results and uni entrance, were nevertheless very carefree.
mei would come by liat after her stb work and hang out. friends popped by to visit us the starbucks girls.
we hung around town till closing shift.
the boys would come by to thrown out bagels and muffins for their next day breakfast.
we sprayed whipped cream and threw ice water at our manager and partners.
we were young. naive. playful. slackertoads. and happy most times.
not that we're not happy people now.
its just the realisation that we all have to eventually grow up and face the responsibilities of adulthood.
anyhow. im very sad that now i have to pay $6.30 for my toffee nut latte.
tis the season to be very broke.

i made some major decisions about a week or two ago. how quickly things change and how strange to sit and adapt to the circumstances alone.
sometimes, i like to think that i am in control of myself. in all aspects. my life as a whole, my emotions, my thoughts, my school life, my work, my future and even my relationships. but sometimes, i wake up to find that i've been suck into this realm of nothingness and before i know it, everything changes.
i'm neither sad or happy. its more like borderline nonchalant emotions. i feel very welded up. awkward and simply breathing. if it even makes any sense.
i'm very excited about my future. it looks very bright and promising. but i just need to tough it out and live through this present moment. not matter how painful and depressing it may seem.
i miss u.

This blog is dead.
You know how sometimes you've got so much going on in your life that it feels like you have nothing going on at all because all the stuff going on in your life just seems like one big huge mass of blur. and all you want to do is just sit there and do nothing. absolutely nothing.
well i wouldn't know, i have nothing going on in my life.

The entire ROM process has got to be the single most unromantic blemish in a couple's quest to embark on a life journey together.
For the benefit of those who have never been to an ROM ceremony, (as I have never, before today, that is), it involves standing around in the heat and waiting for ALL your relatives and friends to arrive. So the bride and the groom, stand around, in all their wedding finery, and wait, and wait and wait. in the sweltering heat. and they sweat. Because there isn't anywhere nice to wait. and you have to gather all your friends and relatives before you go in, otherwise the person might be prevented from going in altogether.
Then, after you wait in the heat, standing around outside in the most unglam and unromantic foyer possible, you are shifted into another waiting room. This time with aircon. But it also comes with counters, you know ugly looking counters at the side of the waiting room like those at the Immigrations Dept. and oh yes there are chairs, the plastic polyclinic kind. So you wait in front of a big screen, with red electronic words that tell you whether you are next or not. You know, the same kind of signboard that you see at the crematorium.
And when its finally your turn to get married, ALL your family and friends are ushered into a TINY room, where they gather round, trying not to block each others' view whilst the happy couple recites their vows and gets reminded of the solemn promise they are making by a i-can't-remember-what-she's-called (the minister?) who has obviously done it one hundred million gazillion times before because she's reciting everything with the greatest lack of enthusiasm, in an almost mechanic manner. But I suppose you can't blame her, its the nature of the job.
so then TADAH you're married. sign cert and everybody squeezes out of the cramped room.
Why0hWhy. if this solemnization process is the single most important thing in the eyes of the law, because its the very process that marries two people, why does it all seem soo... slipshod? It almost reminded me of the typical Las Vegas marriage. go in and boom you're out, sans the Elvis Presleys. Could more effort not be put into making the Registry a little nicer, a little spacier, a little more elegant? It is situated at one of the loveliest and most nostalgic places in Singapore, yet the mere twenty steps that separates the arches of Fort Canning from the Registry takes you into a whole different world. A grander foyer? A larger parking space? A little more effort into the architecture? Surely more could be done to make this momentous occasion a little more special.
