One is as though nothing is a miracle; the other is as though everything is a miracle.

But i'm really thankfully to God... he's the one who made everythin come true for me... i'm really anxious to know what he has planned for my life, and i'm really glad i'm beginning to see the light. Still a long way to go i know, but nevertheless, i'm gonna put in extra effort in watever that's coming up, coz i believe that hardwork will pay off, the good will be rewarded. It's juz a matter of time.. time is essence..

The Queen's Curse

While trouble brews, a ring is placed --

But evil may have hidden its face.

A perfect prince and love's true tale..

Show the secrets; we must not fail!

Back from Canada..

Watched 2 movies today... in the cinema.. not downloaded.. haha wedding crashers and the skeleton key.. both were gd!! I kinda liked the plot for the skeleton key.. wasn't that complicated but at the same time, a new idea for horror shows... not the typical kind of jap/korean horror movies... i'll give it a tumbs up for sure!

'So happy now.. coz the moment i went into my hotmail inbox, i saw that i had 2 new emails. One from my dear dora and another from lovely jill!!! haha~ haven't heard from her for a long time!!

Well well.. haha my dear dora dedicated a post to me in her blog yesterday.. haha i'm touched!! Her bitchy self is alive once again! haha which is a pretty gd thing!! can't wait to meet up with her, seriously! Promised to get her a gift.. and i do have a pretty gd idea wat to buy for her.. hopefully she likes it. But if she doesn't, then it's all her fault!! WHY??! Coz i told her specifically to tell me what she wants, then i would not have to use my brain.. but alas, she gave me a VAGUE ans: I'm sure ur taste is the same as mine..

??????? So i had no choice but to spend the whole nite, thinking of wat to get her! haha~ mayb it's a little exaggerated but... the pt was, i had to THINK... @#%^^&* haha~ kidding, she's my best fren! '

I think my body's low on sugar these days... mayb coz i'm cutting down on my food intake.. i dunno but i feel exhausted easily... or mayb it's bcoz i dun get my 12 hrs of slp... blah.. gotta study.. otherwise, i can say hasta la vista to my A..

Counting down

Well, nothin special happened today.. managed to chat with my dear dora for a while.. poor gal.. she's kinda sick!! It seems that she falls ill easily huh.. haha~ Hope she's feeling better! I think it's Singapore's National Day today! I love national day firstly because everybody gets a day off! Ain't that juz great!? And secondly, i love the troops marching.. so cool.. esp the navy.. in gear 1... then we have the fireworks! The sight is simply spectacular! Too bad i'm gonna miss all these for the next 4 yrs.. sad.. but still, NY life is pretty gd. Of course, things will never be perfect without my family and frens!!

Haven't been studying much lately... been slacking pretty much.. bad sign.. guess i'd better hit the books now.. otherwise i'll juz screw up my finals! Á la prochaine!

When a woman hits the shops...

Shopping is definitely a "woman thing". It's a contact sport like football. Women enjoy the scrimmage, the noisy crowds, the danger of being trampled to death, and the ecstasy of the purchase. When women are depressed, they either eat or go shopping. Men invade another country. It's a whole different way of thinking.... and yes, i was reconnecting with my ladylike form yesterday. Haha~ woodbury outlet.. if i'm not wrong.. there are like 400 over name brands shops.. u'll definitely find smthin u want there..! For me, i managed to get some gd deals.. really worth it.. armani xchange, tommy hilfiger, GAP.. gosh.. the summer sale is juz mad! Not much of a significant discounts for Polo Ralph and Lacoste though.. so pretty disappointed.. but nevertheless, the trip was worth it for sure!

Well, will be off to Canada this fri.. i can't wait! Going to see the famous Niagara falls... heard it's a spectacular there so... i've high expectations.. lol Time passes really fast doesn't it? In a blink of eye, it's already the 2nd wk of aug.. and soon, i'll be on a plane back to sg.. i've never been so excited about returning back to sg before! haha~ thinking of the hokkien mee and mee goreng makes my mouth water! I'm really 1 lucky gal! haha~ coz when i'm back, i've some really kind frens who are gonna be so nice as to drive me ard.. gosh... it simply re-enforces the idea and reminds me that i hate take public transport! the waiting time, the squeezing with a bunch of smellies in the already overcrowded buses/mrt.. sux..

News flash.. i woke up at 12.30pm today.. haha~ it's 2.00pm already.. and i haven't even studied chapter 12 of Puntos de Partida.. my spanish textbk.. damn it... that will do for today!

Voila!

I love these 2 names.... Jérôme-Pierre Dubois and Nicole-Valentine Dubois... *evil grinz*

Precious thots

"The most intense joy lies not in the having but in the desire. The delight that never fades, the bliss that is eternal, is only yours when what you most desire is just out of reach." No wonder there're always so many "wants" in my life...

Lesson of the day:

Time is an ethereal and sometimes cruel goddess. In her relentless passing, she steals away our youth and vitality, often in ways that seem insignificant until we finally realize how much she has taken. Still, she is also a generous deity, who offers to replace what she has seized with a deeper wisdom and a clearer vision of life's enigmas. In this sense, time can be our most powerful ally--if we are patient enough. It is not intelligence alone that brings success, but also the drive to succeed, the commitment to work hard, and the courage to believe in yourself. Know that your dreams must come from your heart's deepest desires. Only then will the barriers come down before you. To know your heart, you must know yourself. You are who you decide to be, not who other people decide for you to be. Be noble. Stand on the higher ground. Create your life and then go out and live it. If you want it and you dream about it... there's nothing that's going to stop you!
