Reunion & A Union

s t a r m | s t September 18th, 2008

Flew back just in time to attend a dear friend’s wedding. They have been together since college methink, and have broken many hearts along the way [ok, it was just him :P].

First, the camwhoring bit. Haven’t done it in a long while. Ooh yes, must smile since I.have.removed.my.braces.whooppie!

With the pretty gals, and Tidus.

The wedding was pretty much the same as most weddings, except that it somehow wasn’t. Mmm, contradictions contradictions. From where I was seated, I could feel the sweetness of the couple’s love, and how unabashedly they showed it off for everyone to see [something usually quite muted at other weddings]. Then halfway through the night, the groom headed to the grand piano - to perform a surprise for his bride, and all of us at the table went, “?? since when does he know how to play the piano?!”. He candidly told all of us later that it took him 2 months to learn the piece and his wife was wondering why he was always returning home late. Laughs. Sweet!

The only picture I managed to capture of the busy couple, and the original F4 I knew who changed my life in uni. 1 of them had to attend another wedding on the same night, thus the no show..

With Iv-gor. He just flew back as well and said he wore the first thing he laid his hands on which wasn’t crumpled. Laughs.

A Series of Fortunate Events [II]

s t a r m | s t June 26th, 2008

[This is going to be a boring entry following A Series of Fortunate Events I] 

And so I woke up all groggy and stumbly on my birthday itself to.. [guess what] run some errands.

Caught a powernap some time in the afternoon before heading out for dinner with the family.

 

The original place was too crowded so we settled for this.

 

My sudden craving for vietnamese rice noodles.

The Week Before Christmas

s t a r m | s t January 5th, 2008

What a great crazy tiring hilarious happening two weeks it has been in Nihon! Oh gosh!

I do.not.want.to.leave.Japan.and.return.to.Singapore. For many reasons.

But first!

It was one long stretch of activities the week before I left. I do not have pictures for everything, hell, I cannot even remember what I did for some days. It is all a blur to me. -_-”

Things People Say

s t a r m | s t July 11th, 2007

We were having dinner at the Wedding of the Year, when the topic of colleagues and bosses came up. 

BZG [on his colleague who addressed an email to him but sent it to just about everyone else]: … and this part of the email which went ‘If I know my goodwill will cause you more work, I will not goodwill you anymore.‘

All: Ha ha ha. Goodwill you?!

Ms Ho: Hur hur. Then you should reply, okay you don’t goodwill me, I won’t bestwill you lor.

Ms Ho: You know, for all our [work] emails, they have to end with a smiley face. =)

Me: What?? But it’s not professional, and a company like yours….

Ms Ho: We have to put that! =) There was once I did not put it and I got scolded okay. =)

Dee: That’s still alright. At least you don’t have a boss always sending mass emails ending with ‘Why are you all like that?? I want to commit s******.‘

All: WhaT?? -___-”

I’m glad my bosses and colleagues are sane people.

Scraps and Pieces

s t a r m | s t June 19th, 2007

I am not in a good mood today.

It is not the typical today-is-a-same-old-same-new-day mood, nor a mopey I-am-missing-him-so-crazily mood. It is the snarl-growl-bare-fangs-I-just-need-a-reason-any-reason-to-strangle-kill-rip-someone-apart mood.

Something as innocuous as a person clearing his throat repeatedly in office is enough to make me bristle dangerously. Growl.

Anyway. Think happy thoughts.

For my birthday, Meimei did something so unique I am in awe of every time I flip through it. It’s a book. Of me. It’s a book she did [almost] from scratch, a book which took 3 days to complete. Scrappers will understand the amount of effort and detail that goes into a page. It’s not just cut and paste, cut and paste, and that’s it, no sirree no, it’s not.

Brother Dear

s t a r m | s t June 3rd, 2007

For some secret reason[s] she wouldn’t devulge, Meimei asked for some photographs of me, which led me to look through some past photos.

There is one person’s face that stood out. One person’s presence I really miss.

As far as I can remember, he is the only guy ever whom I can be so, so close to and yet feel totally comfortable and safe with [comfortable = mutual platonic relationship, can talk about any topic. safe = non-threatening - space-wise, words-wise, presence-wise, and both of us not being attracted to each other as anything more than friends].


The first photo taken. Why does my eyes look so weird.

Meimei did something really sweet and touching.

The entry made me tear.

Amazing Race

s t a r m | s t December 27th, 2006

Friday..

saw a seriously busy work day, with so many people dropping by for impromptu appointments. Ran all over town to complete my errands after work before rushing down to Butterfactory for a friend’s birthday celebration. Felt a little out of place cos I don’t belong in the group, but well, some of them were friendly so… =)

Some of us. That guy is cute, hur hur. [Ok, I. am. kidding.]

Needless to say, things became dramatic - a common thing whenever alcohol is involved, and the night didn’t end very well. Very badly in fact [here I have so many things to say but the friend doesn't remember anything, so nevermind. Would rather forget about it too]. *shaken* Last time check: 4.55am.

Saturday,

I woke up at 8am to a group of male voices shouting my name from the carpark beneath my place, and then a single male voice yelling “I Love You!” in an extremely agonised tone. It happened twice, so I stumbled from bed and peeked fearfully from behind the curtains to see who loves me, afraid it’ll be…..

Well, it wasn’t.

It was a tekan-the-groom wedding session and someone in the same block has the same name as me. -_-”

Nobody loves me. *pulls long face*

Headed down, all bleary-eyed, to Pregos for lunch, with Nad joining us for a quick bit, before desperately planting myself in Starbucks for much-needed cups of coffee. Evening came and it was down to Ivan bro’s place for a family-friendly Christmas celebration. Did the gift exchange and found out Ivan gor was my ‘Santa’! *grinz* Thankies for the thoughtful pressie!

Jerry looked sian cos he knew what his present was! Hur hur hur.

Little creatures of the sea from Meimei and Adrian.

It became not-so-family-friendly as the night got later. Ahem. Rich Monde decided to abandon me and went home to sleep. -_-” Someone became obnoxious because he was high and I got really pissed off. *fierce growl* I don’t think many of them have seen me that furious before? Ms Ho drove some of us back and 4 of them came over to my place for a bit. At… 4+am? It was quite funny, with the guys talking loudly and the girls trying to shush them cos my family was asleep. Doh.. Last time check: 5.23am.

Sunday..

was His day soon. Hurried down to Starbucks (again) to meet my favourite college babes for coffee and talk and gift exchange, and to gorge ourselves on dim sum. Midnight mass with Rich Monde and Pawprints ended super late, or should I say early? Poor Rich Monde was falling asleep during service. Tsk tsk. Think he is not used to old-school hymns. ‘Psycho-ed’ someone to send Pawprints home, and then send me home [we stay in opposite ends of Singapore!]. Oops. Received another beautiful gift. Last time check: 3.49am and I’m running on fumes.

Monday

was a way-too-stoned day. Woke up only to realise service was starting. Daaarnnniittt. *guilty expression* Went down to Starbucks [AGAIN! They should give me a VIP card soon!] to meet Himura Kenshin. Lazed there for an entire day chatting about the past, laughing at the present and thinking about the future.

There were ugly chicken puffs and uglier curry puffs. Laughs. I’m tickled.Ran out of fumes, so went home and concussed.
