I've got 2 new friends...

Yupps...u heard me alright!
After my long wait and search,I've finally brought back 2 new friends of mine...


INTRODUCING......

Chrissi and Basil *woohoo*

Yup, they're my 2 new plants.
Chrissi is my crysanthnaum plant and basil is my....basil plant! *wow*

Honestly, I have no clue as to how this crazy idea started.
I think it was something to do with being bored, and the fact that i wanted to have something that i could look after and talk to....yes...i said talk to!

As much as i would have liked to keep a dog, that wasn't practical...
then there was the idea of keeping little fishies...but that didn't appeal to me...
So then i thought of keeping/growing plants....
For one, they're still livng things, they look and smell nice (esp basil), they add colour and last but not least...i can talk to them.
Don't worry, I'm still perfectly sane and in no way going bonkers.

My new friends are really kinda introverted at the moment....
They don't really talk at all, but they sure are great listeners!
Perfect friends coz they dun backstab and casue any form of relationship/friendship problems!
It's just me and my darling plants...
They're doing well and love just basking in the sun!
One more thing...basil is really helpful...i get to use his nicely grown leaves for my cooking!
Just used some that day when i was cooking up a grilled chicken fillet....yummalicious!

* I think if my mum reads this post she'll be shocked to learn that i've turn to plants as a form of theraputic treatmeant! Coz i've always told her i didn't see what's so interesting abt keeping plants, and aside form that, half the time i'm teasing her abt the small little garden she has been trying to maintain at home....u go mummy, hope all the plants have been doing gd...hows the chilli plant coming along? *

ANGEL IN DISGUISE

I really like this song alot...
been listening it the pass couple of days
and i think its a really sweet and cute song with meaning
somewhat touching as well...

A N G E L I N D I S G U I S E
Written by Corrinne May

I woke up this morning feeling kind of blue
and I stumbled out of bed
and dragged my feet across the room
Right outside my front door was a rose
and a note that said 'Somebody Loves You'

But out on the street it starts to pour
and before I get soaking wet,
A total stranger runs to give me the jacket off his back
I turn around to thank him
But he waves me with a smile
I can hardly believe my eyes
He puts on a halo and starts to fly

Take a look at the ordinary
Don't need to look at Paradise
You could be next to an angel in disguise

I met a good friend for lunch
and we had a delicious meal
But I forgot to bring my wallet
I felt like an imbecile
But she was sweet, she gave me a treat and
Bought me a chicken sandwich
To take home for tea

But out on the street with nothing to eat
A man and his shopping cart go
Travelling to places,
Collecting social graces
I give him my sandwich
and we chatter for a while
I see a rainbow wash over his eyes
He gives me his halo and
I start to fly

Take a look at the ordinary
Don't need to look for Paradise
You could be next to an angel in disguise

Don't try to hide away from me
I know you're by my side

Take a look at the ordinary
Don't need to look for Paradise
You could be next to an angel in disguise
Everyday can be legendary
Every minute, an endless surprise
You could be the next angel in disguise

I woke up this morning
Feeling kind of new.

Drowning

Here I am, sitting at my study table.
My head heavy and bogged down with stuff,
thoughts and feelings all racing through, zip zapping across.
Somehow, I just don't feel at rest.
Just too many issues to deal with, which I'm trying to put aside and not even bother.


I wish.

The restlessness just builds up day by day,
and now, I'm honestly not sure how long more I can keep up with this before I breakdown or explode.
I ask myself why I bother and care so much about stuff,
when I know I'm not really at the losing end of the line.

I feel Lost.

At this point in time, I just feel like telling someone off...
There's no point penting it all up deep down inside,
coz I'm just hurting myself even more...

I think the worst is when hurt is involved,
and the person is not even aware of it.
Not literally physical hurt...but more emotionally.
Sometimes I ask myself is it just me?
I'm not perfect,
but it does take two hands to clap afterall.

I know I'm wearing a mask...
hiding the feelings and emotions from the people around me.
I question myself...
Am I living a lie?
I try to occupy my time as a cover up,
hoping it will help to ease the troubles within...
this can't go on....I know it for a fact myself.
Time...
But how much longer can this go on?

I just feel hopeless, fearful and emotionally tired

I'm drowning within myself...

-HIP HIPPY HIPPO-

I reckon hippos are cute!
and I've come to realize that I've got quite a couple of hippo merchandises in my room,
none of which were even bought by me!

Ok, so the entire hippo craze started all because of a particular someone!

AKA Mr. Zookeeper
Which, from that particular day forth, I was to regret,
and bare with an appointed new nickname within a certain team.

I've come to learn to like this particular species of the animal kingdom.
I reckon they're a force to be reckon with!
I simply Loooooveeeee em'


See what my poor hippos have to put up with when people come over. Kang came over after uni yesterday decided to give my 3 darling hippos; Ditsy (grey), Periwinkle (green) and Haley (blue) a 101 lesson on the birds and the bees.

Look at that grin on his face....

he seemed to have heaps of fun with them...

Do you LOVE Coffee....???

................YES I DO!!!



I reckon I've been officially on a caffeine overdose for a good part of my life....say, since I was 10 or 11?
I blame it on my dad...
He'll use to make me accompany him to the coffee shop down our place, and as i sip on my ice cold drink, he offers me some to try...
Since then...I've been grossly addicted!

I love strong black coffee the most...
It just gives u that kick u need to start your day!
I reckon my dad makes a mean cuppa too -old fashion way!
[grounded coffee powder in those cloth strainers]
I miss that...

It's my best friend espcially during the exam period,
where drowning myself with up to 6-8 cups a day seems pretty normal.
I don't think it has a big effect on my sleeping pattern, coz with or without, doesn't make much of a difference!

Coffee cafes are ok...
But i reckon coffee shops one's are still the BEST!
(of coz depending on which one u go to)

I drink coffee, black, white or with milk...
I drink it hot, cold, ice-blended, shot, frappa, with ice cubes...
I drink it in paper cups, plastic cups, mugs....

I need my minimum of 2 cups at least per day...

I love my coffee....

I think...

my neighbour just above me is weird!

Honestly I don't know him that well...
but from the looks of it, I have a feeling he's an easily irritable person.
Haha, so much for being judgemental here.

I think he can't tolerate noise, period!
I mean it!
He seems to be easily affected by every single audible noise within the raduis of the apartment we are staying in.
I really think he needs to chill.

Why i say so?
He loves opening and closing his bedroom window.
Everytime there some noise, he closes the window.
When the noise subsides he re-opens it.
Grass cutter, neighbours talking/washing floor, gardening, ppl singing a happy birthday song, neighbour opposite the road who loves to throw damn happening big parties, me laughing too loud, drunkards walking along the street....the list goes on.
For one, his window is awfully squeeky...so obviously i know when he opens/closes it.
It needs some serious oiling.
Secondly, he doesn't just close it, he loves to slam it shut!
I can hear him closing it from my living room!

It draws me to 3 conclusions:
1. He really has nothing better to do. He seems really free to even bother abt all the nosie that goes on even though its like 3pm in the afternoon!
2. He really doesn't have a life! He seems to be locked up in his room all the time!
3. I think he gets a pretty decent arm workout from just opening/closing the window several times a day!

But HELLO!!!! Sometimes he's at fault too! I know when he's watching those webcast soccer matches (i even know who scored the goals!)..coz its really loud..and he likes chinese music! Hey i dun spy on him ok...the fact i can hear it loud and clear from my room speaks for itself!

Ooooo...i'm so evil!

What if we were all naked???

What if we were all naked?


Haha, what a funny sight that would be.

Actually, i was thinking and if no one invented clothes, we would be naked. All over the place, genitles hanging out all over the place..sometimes you wonder what the world would look like if everyone was naked, if no one had any clohtes to wear, just plain naked.

I think it wouldnt be such a big deal, if we were all used to it, but since we are all not really used to seeing naked people just walking down the street, we stare and go 'oh my gosh' when we see these kind of people. When we are not accustomed to things, we find them extremely weird and disgusting, but if we were all brought up with no clothes, and pure nakedness, everyone wouldnt think that its grose and inappropriate.

I think if everryone didnt wear clohtes, everyone would be havingmuch more sex, haha coz it would be so much more convienient, with everyhting just out there. Just imagine all these naked people walkin around in the street, eating, shopping, catching the bus, watching movies, going for walks in the park.things that we are not used to, we freak out. its just because we havnt been brought up in that particular society.

I'm sure if all of us were brought up naked, wed just not even think its wrong to go around naked. That's why i think alot of people find it difficult to adapt to new situations and places, because they are not familiar with it. Unfamiliar places and things, make people feel uncomfortable. having never experienced or seen such things in thier life, its hard to just try to familiar ur self with things that are beyond and out of ur own world.

We sometimes look to people and think they're weird, but actually we're the weird ones. we think others are weird, but then, do they think we're weird? Weird is the world, weird is you, weird is me, weird is everyone.

SO if u dare to walk down the street naked,
I really do salute you!!!

A New and Fresh Start

It's great to be back in the land Down Under. Aside from the fact that uni has started and all, it kinda has an entirely refreshing feeling to it. A new start, new semester, new goals...

I haven't been blogging since I got back here coz there was kind of a screw up with our internet modem...hence i was kinda 'internet handicapped' for a few days....but nvm...now we have Wireless! Woohoo...now i can surf the net from my room, living room, kitchen, balcony and even the toilet!

Minor changes here and there...new housemate (Jon - mish's bro) replacing Chels (haha, miss ya..been pretty quiet w/o u)...new room...new furniture...the house feels more whole now, we actually have a sofa and now a little chill out lounge area in our porch/balcony where we can just sip on drinks and just enjoy the nite sky. Nonetheless...everything else is great...

Oooo...i'm very happy...I've finally got the lifeguard job at the uni pool that i've always wanted. I'm greatful to the pool supervisor who offered me the job! Started today, everything went on well...except for the weather that has been crazy the past week! Was like 38deg today...went up to 41deg last week. Found out when i got home that for my 3hrs spent at the pool, i'm already starting to peel! Yikes!

wells..ok, time to cook dinner...
i'll try to think of something more interesting to blog next time...
