help and be helped

my philosophy in life is to do unto others what you want done unto you. i try my best...(not all time) to help someone whom i can help. Sometimes it is an old auntie who needs help with directions. or even simpler, today someone needed a pad in the toilet. being the eavesdropper i am, i listened (eavesdropping is not so bad after all). Since i had one in my bag, i might as well give it to her.

If i had the ability to help that someone, what i hope for is for that someone to feel that there are people out there who care, and that she/he can be one of them too. It doesnt take an extraodinary person to lend a hand to someone else. All it takes is the willingness to do so.

Oh well my weekend was sort of ok, didnt get to meet ben much. but i went out with mom yesterday, cos she was going to hong kong today. was very excited about meeting ben today, cos i missed him lots. he slept the weekend away. sigh. he was tired.

We went to watch the terminal. It is very very hilarious. You guys HAVE to catch it. There are some lessons learnt as well. Compassion, Friendship, Politics, That life does not always go the way you want it. but just take it easy and take it as it comes.

We had a fun time, looking at great big beautiful houses. But i prob wont want to live in one. One it is too big. I am very lazy remember? 2. It gets scary at night. 3. You need to hire someone to clean it. 4. You need to mow the grass.on and on...ha!

I think we look nice here. and around 5 - 6 pm is a very good time for photos. as there is sun, but not too strong. 

Another pic for our funny faces photo album 

Ben is not paying attention. 

Ben is being forced to kiss me..oh well..ha! But i still love him.  

Another day, in our fav spot amidst the hustle and bustle of the city...the benches at suntec!! 

another night ... and i'm worrying again..

its another lonely night. my day was okay, spending time with my mom as she is flying again tomorrow. she just got back yest. oh well...thats life. there are many mosquitoes under the table. have to get a mosquito coil soon. and ben is in jb. and i am worried again

when ben sees this i am going to be cut up and hung up to dry. i'm supposed to be sleeping already(have to wake at 7 tomorrow) but i cant sleep. i just cannot get to sleep. Never mind. i will try soon. in about 10 mins. i'll get something to eat first. good night. hope my baby is safe.

this one looks nice too...turned out really well...thought my face would be black or something 

this one looks normal..but if you enlarge it. you will realise it is actually looks like a oil painting.. 

this one is flipped with a special border...think it looks really nice too...i'm good at this!! 

my attempt at artsifying pictures today...think this one turned out really nice 

i for you

the sun that shines in the sky
it shines for you

the birds that chirp in the trees
they sing for you

the water that fills the oceans
it runs for you

the air all around us
it stirs for you

and the heart inside me
beats for you

holiday blues

my one week break is almost over, tomorrow is the last day, today is almost over, i havent seen ben today, he is dead beat. he had his ippt yesterday and plus he was sick. He is too tired to move today, he slept all day. and i miss him like hell. didnt feel like doing anything today. even when the sun was high in the sky i didnt feel like going swimming, cos i hoped he'd wake up. sigh.

lets take about my week. nothing much happening. monday n wednesday, did our group project 11 - 6 or thereabout, we finished almost everything, cept we need to jazz it up, in terms of ideas, got some while surfing around today. on the days i wasnt doing projects, i'd wait around at home reading books or use the comp till i could meet ben. i've been dabbling in yahoo auctions, its quite exciting. people have been looking at my items. i hope i sell something on my own. the previous item i sold was through mark. but that was most probably cos the item is a popular one.

i'm sort of having writers block, i dont know what to write about. more like i dont have much to write about. there hasnt been any inspiration for poems either. sometimes i do, but i'm lazy to write them down ..and i lose them. oh well..

i am eating too much and hungry too constant. but i've lost weight again. i'm now 44kg.but i dont think i have been eating very little. in fact i contributed a lot to the emptying of the can of pringles. fyi - i really didnt finish it alone.

my first bunch of roses from ben...beautiful right??..but its a pity i already took off the wrapping

internet connection cut

for all those who have been reading my blog..so sorry....my internet connection was cut by starhub cos we have been neglecting our bills...sigh...starhub is very irritating...sigh. i am currently doing project at my friends house. oh yes,,...di..i thought the fireworks were too nice not to share with you all. and i highly doubt it will turn out very nice if you print it out on photopaper....you print smaller, maybe will turn out nicer. ling...if you have been checking ,..i'm so sorry...must tag and tell me how is british columbia and your dorm and everything ok?

yesterday was me and ben's one month anniversary. sigh...i am so happy nowadays, it seems like nothing much can dampen my mood. he got me flowers ..wow!! but i cant load any photos now cos i got no internet!!! hai haiz...but i will try to put some on today. yes anyway. we went to get a gift for ben and then had dinner at olio dome..the food was good, the ambience was nice, was nice overall. we decided to watch harold and kumar - the road to the white castle..it is extremely hilarious!! can die with laughter...its only been one month with ben but i feel as if i've been with him for a long long time. this is a whole new feeling.

we're supposed to be doing project now...but currently, we havent started yet. opposite me, their dyeing stephanie's hair...oh well...we ARE a wierd bunch...will update sometime soon.

ce weekend

that is, this weekend, in french. anyway...for these few days. i've practically been going out with ben to the few same places. taka, wisma, scotts isetan, far east...but somehow, it is never boring, the time i spend with him is strangely filled with so much fun, laughter, smiles and joy. isnt it a wonder how two people can be so much alike, yet so different? we're slowly filling each other up with new memories, hopes, dreams that we never thought we could share. i'm just so happy, so quietly happy, i never thought i could feel this way.

yesterday

yesterday... i went out with Ben to orchard road...for a walk and shopping and stuff...
we went to return books in orchard library and for a walk in far east...saw a few nice shops selling nice clothes...this shop called ztamp has got very nice clothes.. but very expensive ...and there was this shop selling all sorts of pretty dresses. they were all very very pretty....but there was this person hogging the fitting room. then it was already like 9 plus and i got fed up ..so oh well...will go back another day..anyway, after far east..we had dinner there as well...just a simple dinner. but the highlight of the day was in borders...haha! we were playing hide and seek! of all places in borders...actually more like i was playing and then all ben had to do was look for me...he was pretty successful...DRATS....hai....i always have fun with ben, some times its not just fun, its also the moments we have. the tender ones, the pensive ones, the curious ones, the worrying ones, we have so many moments. but i'm so greedy, i cant get enough, and i hope i will never get enough.

and i added some music to my blog. think this song really suits this blog, it has a very loungy, cafe feel to it.

internet as a communication tool

I think the internet is a great communication tool. as in if you have many friends and relatives overseas. Now with the increasing popularity of blogs and tag-boards, your friends can know about your daily life even if they are thousands of miles away, they can leave messages on your tag board and you on theirs. With the difference in time zones, it is not easy to catch each other at the precise time online.

but, however convenient the internet is. it could never makeup for real life communication and conversation. As language has its many nuances that could never be transmitted digitally. When you are excited about seeing someone, the first thing you usually do when seeing someone is hug that someone. but over the internet, you could never do that. But it is better than nothing
