Red ♥

Jean, Vanes, Angeline, me, JooEe, Karine, Janice. (missed YeanMay, Kelly, and Helen in this shot)

nope! it's not Chinese New Year yet. haha. no need to panic and check your calendars. thinking that you might have missed the celebration. this is a celebration alright, just a different kind of a celebration. a celebration of love. yessss. a chinese marriage ceremony. the first time a close friend of mine got married, the first time for me as a bridesmaid, "ji mui" as the chinese call it, sister to the bride.

loved that as the "ji mui" we got to scheme and come up with ways to torture the groom and his "brothers" before he managed to come take her away. speaking of which, my Mr. R was one of the brothers. which means that he had no choice but to obey my every single order and complete all the obstacles we set out or else his buddy wouldn't have the chance to get his bride.

spot any pair of lips you wish to kiss?

one of the challenges. only one kiss mark belonged to the bride. the rest were all made by the bridesmaids. the groom was to pick the right one. he only got 3 chances to choose. each wrong pick resulted in penalties ;D hee. the poor fella never got it. haha though it was a pair of lips he had been kissing all along.

the sweet couple and all the groom's "brothers"

now you get the picture. definitely not CNY. sneaked a shot when they were posing for the photographer and videographer. the wedding date - 27.1.2013. so happy for them! here's wishing them a happy and blessed marriage now and always.




that's about it. the remainders of this post are just some vain pics. a must, since we don't dress up like walking angpows everyday! didn't manage to get as many as i would have liked though :/

my precious !

1st April


the title up there is referring to my weekends of course. ultimately, they're too precious to waste...

the thing is my mid semester exams are coming up. first reaction paper is on April 3rd.

my Mondays to Fridays are already hell. full of torture and deprived of fun... how could i? i just couldn't bring myself to spend the whole weekend studying...

instead, here I am at the badminton stadium in Cheras, waiting for the 3 semi-final matches of the Axiata Cup 2012 between M'sia and Indonnesia to begin.

got in with Ray's media pass and am allowed to sit anywhere I want :)

my view of the match

from where I am, I could also spy on Ray. Hee. make sure he's not off hitting on other girls or slacking :P

15 April


lol. this post is 14 days late! supposingly this post was blogged live, and i seriously intended to publish the post on the spot but the blogger app on my phone kinda fail case. cant arrange photos / insert them where you want in the post. still need comp to edit. ended up postoning this for so long! just to insert the 2 pictures you see above @.@

might as well continue and prolong this post a lil :)

updates:

i did so badly for my reaction paper! wished i had studied harder though. the questions were so easy and straight forward! didnt write much. spent more than half of the time in the exam hall starring at the questions and having the questions stare back at me.

actually, all the answers can be found in our lecture notes. am kinda horrified that i'm not that kiasu anymore! the bachelor me would have studied like it really mattered, would have been super confident, and would have trashed that paper in a flash. where has all my kiasuness gone to :-O

if only... yea if only i'd given a lil more time and heart to preparing.

i'm sure my baby Guchie would have done better than i did

the same weekend (instead of studying), i met up with 2 girlies that i have not seen in ages. and my, do i miss hanging out with them.

finally got to try this durian ice thingy. so hard to find someone to share this with as most of the people around me loathed the taste and smell of durians. well, they dont know what they are missing out! this was super nice! though i would prefer it to be creamier, i was already satisfied and oogling at how it made my taste buds feel :D

S and I finished it in less than 15 mins. lol.

things have not changed. and they never will :)

and i have another paper coming up this 17th (3 days time). and the bloody lecturer already scared the shit out of us. this exam contributes to 30% of the final grade. and the format: 1 essay question. write 14 pages. dafuq? why dont you go ahead and fail me already? see. i told you my kiasuness has taken a toll on me. it bailed when i needed it the most. lol. already have plans for tmr. how? ditch studying again? i've already decided to anyway.


lastly, would like to say that i'm really proud of myself for actually sticking to my 2012 new year resolutions so far:

Complain less

Love more

Be honest with myself

Say only things I mean

Make only promises I can keep

Keep the promises I make

http://vanillanstrawberries.blogspot.com/2011/12/gone-is-2011.html

am on track for all 6 of them ! yay! :D *beams* am glad that i'm able to stick by those little guides set by myself to help me be a better and happier person.


on another note, have got to set a reminder for myself.


dont forget to study! xD

Day 8 - July 23rd

a song to match my mood:


well, i don't really have a mood right now...

and sometimes i like covers even more than the original :P


missin' my darlings real bad!

this goes out to all of you ♥


and if you noticed, 2:27, the lyrics goes

You'll always have my shoulder when you cry....

well, the thing is that I'M the one who cries more.

and you guys are the ones who're always there for me.



[i'm not one of the best friends that one can have.

but i want to be someone my friends can count on.

and i'll try my best to always be there.]
