What is up with me lately?

Oh ohhh… been neglecting this blog. Again.

I have something in the draft with me ranting about an article I read not too long ago, about… this. And, this. But I figured I should collect my thoughts (and emotions), before censoring editing and publishing my entry. Like a mature adult.

Anyways, I blogged about my virgin experience conducting a DIY workshop for kids at a birthday party, and… wow, I must say that I have way way way underestimated the power of the social network. I see my stats for my DIY Blog soar like… what I have never seen before. Read about it here! -> DIY session @ a birthday party (6/4/2014).

Gotta run off to meet my sis to brainstorm on some of the ideas we have!

The Emo Emu strikes again on this refridgerator of a night

It’s raining AGAIN! And the cold is getting to my knees. Yet another sign of aging. Maybe even premature aging. My mom seems alright, and her knees do not tell her the weather.

1 February 2011. The month of changes. I’m getting nervous and scared now. There will be changes, and I can only imagine what they would be.

As I lay on my bed, jabbing away at my iPhone, my mom will pop her head in and nag for a bit, despite knowing that it will fall on deaf ears. This… has gone on almost everyday for near 28 (OMG, I need to re-count my age. 28 seems.. not me.) years of my life. And suddenly, I won’t get that anymore. It gets irritating sometimes, but, I definitely will miss it.

I can feel it from my mom too. I see her gazing at me silently sometimes, with an expression which I can’t understand. It can get creepy, frankly. But I can only try to understand how she feels – her firstborn, her little girl, is finally and really going to break away from her apron strings and be a wife, and possibly a mom in time.

She held my hand as I brought her along with me to run some errands after dinner today. I could feel that she was feeling a lot more than just the need to hold my hand to cross the road. After crossing the road, she still held on tight to my cold hand, and started worrying about my health (something bad about having cold hands). Typical of Mummy.

I feel very sad suddenly. As I type this out, my throat feels like it has a burning sour lump stuck in there.

It is inevitable, isn’t it?

I guess it’s going to be a chaos of emotions this month. I hope I won’t be reduced to a blubbering idiot on that day.

The Wedding Photoshoot

Oh boy, it was actually fun and memorable. But it was damn bloody tiring!!!

And just when I managed to clear my skin from problematic zits in the recent days with religious TLC, new itchy ones are popping out from the day’s old thick impervious makeup! I thought I looked like a clown, but it somehow turned out alright on camera.

I feel kinda bad to see my hair abused the way it was today.

Oh, and I fell down on my butt in my gown even before the photoshoot in the morning. Hehe. I was wearing slippers but stepped on my own skirt.

And JX looked really dashing in his well-fitted suits.

Vivocity Giant’s staff was amazingly nice and helpful with our photoshoot! JX and I managed to overcome our crowd jitters (it wasn’t as secluded as we hope to be for a Monday late afternoon) with their welcome and help. We were definitely impressed (all staff was briefed on our photoshoot!), and we are pretty sure we would like all the pictures taken there. The next and last venue was Sentosa and well, beach shots lo. Oh, plus some carpark, log, and bridge shots. Our photographer’s pretty good in directing for our poses, but well, I have yet to see the final outcome…

Can’t wait to see them though!

Can see that my random thoughts are pretty jumbled up and I badly in need for a good sleep to rid off the headache pounding my head now.

SMK

Out with my girls – always nonsensical and crazy. Breaking out in love songs on the way home on the train in the mind of searching for the right wedding march-in song so that we could have a mini concert of our own in S’s wedding. And the unravelling of K’s tiramisu which looks oddly like the stuff you see sinking to the depths of the toilet bowl while you rub your tummy in satisfaction BUT in actual fact tastes absolutely great. And… The present from S which comes as no surprise. Something which she probably thinks I need badly. Either for everyday or for the impending wedding. Next year. A nice touch though, she included a handmade workout guide to a fuller perkier butt. Probably having in mind that once I obtain my granite bum through exercise, I needn’t use the butt-lifter. This, I have to give it to her.

My ass is feeling so depressed now, oh shit, I have to cheer it up. It had even photo evidences of its sad state. And after “lifting its mood”. ;(

Dear Bum, don’t worry I’ll try to get you back in shape. Meanwhile just don’t get too depressed, I still need whatever that is left of you.

A splendid day

Birthday surprises are awesome. I think I can just live on that everyday.

A simple day. Shopping and playing card games. Lounging at Starbucks. Probably just a typical weekend to anyone but on a Monday.

And still, I’m on leave tomorrow! Yippee!

I think I will have some serious Wednesday blues.

Starting to understand what’s “Forever 21”

It had been a blast of a day. Started off with a day at the reservoir with JX, though midway, “Why am I doing this to us on a Sunday morning when we could have been sleeping soundly in bed?” crossed my mind while we (ok, at least I did) stumbled on little pebbles amongst the mossy grounds, trekking through the rainforest trail under late morning sun.

Wobbly legs at the end of it all. Strangely, it felt great.

Had double cake surprises tonight, thanks to JX, my family and a potential family candidate, WQ’s boyfriend – Kenneth. And a voice memo from Shi attempting to sound like a she-robot wishing me happy birthday.

Feeling so warm and fuzzy tonight. :’)

Thanks to all whom I love and who love me!
