a moment to remember

~songs in my head~

没有地球太阳还是会绕.

But I don’t care what they say. I’m in love with you.

I just wanna fall and lose myself Laughing so hard it hurts like hell Forget about everything and run away, yeah

:: if you have tried your best, there's no need for regrets. ::

~ THOUGHTS ~
By ourselves we are too weak to hold our own even for a moment.

"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God" (Romans 8:28)

For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.

"God has given, God has taken, blessed be the name of God" (Job 1:21)

"I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out – plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.” (Jeremiah 29:11)

solitude; the storm has died down

im going to the movies myself later!
im kind of excited.
after all, it is my first time watching a movie alone.
for so many years rachel has been telling me it is an experience to try out
and i finally got the courage and time to do this.

luckily i am not watching blockbusters like New Moon or what feng yun
instead im going to catch

its those drama, slightly arty farty, vintage settings movies that GV europa cinema will show...
just last week, i went to watch The Private Lives of Pippa Lee with darling

it might be boring to you if you dont enjoy drama or just watching people eat, drink, grow up without other action
but i think i quite enjoyed it and it was that kind of movie that i think would make an excellent book. a storyline that words would be able to define and express more so than moving characters and a short 2 hour time frame to squeeze everything in.
its about life, how Pippa lee grew up, how she hated her mother for having bipolar disorder, and how she ended up slightly like her mother, having sleeping disorder, a little depressed at times
it teaches me that in life, there are many things we cant control.
how things may look perfect on the surface, but may be flawed to its very core
and ironically we might just turn out to be the very people we couldnt stand when we were younger
it helped that blake lively was in the movie! heh. even darling agreed she is pretty.

oh i just realised the movie was adapted from the book!

hmm i shall endeavour to locate this book after im done with my 2 new books from Times (courtesy of darling)
it looks like the kind of book i will read and weep and feel so emotionally laden with the antagonist's regrets, mistakes and whats not

i have also been trying to download 2 days in paris but somehow my bitcomet settings are screwed up. everytime i download i have to keep my laptop on until it finishes. if i shut it down, the list of downloads disappear and returns to my super old list. gosh. my laptop will explode before it can finish downloading i think!

Looks like a nice movie:)

and speaking of my first time watching movie alone, last sat was also my first time driving all by myself, without anyone else in the car!! it wasnt as nerve wrecking as i always imagined it to be, maybe because i have been driving more in the past week than my whole life.. i had to bring porridge to my sis in hosp and my parents were working so i drove there myself. funny thing was i parked between two number lots and thought i did a good job. until later on darling came and said i actually took up 2 lots. cause in that carpark, you are supposed to park infront of one number! -_-

anyway my sister is finally discharged and recovering from the surgery. :)
hope that her back problem will be solved after this.
i also drove back from changi gen hosp to bedok to post parcel and it was my first time parking so nicely by myself. one time only. i was so happy. took some photos. will upload from my hp another time. then drove home, parked inbetween two cars. still not bad la although it was abit closer to one car. i think i am getting the hang of parking, thankfully. this past week has been a great opportunity for me to practise my driving!

Here are photos of my preorder loots last month!
cheapppp! only $13 or so per piece.

arrived in a huge ass bag via courier

and upon ripping the parcel open! didnt know which to open first.

Some of the better buys:

very comfy, im glad i din buy this off some random blogshop that time:)
love the gradual stripes

chiffon romper. the pants part abit loose for me so got to use a belt. but other than that, it looks great with heels.

chiffon dress in cream. i also got this in mint. not so liking the tier at the bottom but i'll keep it for the moment. studded belt is from this fashion. newly acquired too.

i think this piece is the loveliest of the lot.
feminine and boho feel, like milk maid. haha.

looked great on the model.. material is nice. but it feels abit like table cloth?? maybe i should pair it with some leggings or jeans. undecided.

this piece, i love! abstract paint strokes on a chiffon top with flutter sleeves.
from alano! bit expensive ($27) but it looks like something zara would have.
seriously change the tag to zara and put it on zara's shelf with a $69 price tag
im sure it will sell

now my online purchases...

tie-dye dress. material is cheap & lousy. hate the tacky heart shape silver zip so i cut it and replaced it with my red heart earring! but i suppose its worth keeping for the back. and the tie-dye style.

last sunday i went to bonito's 'private' flea..
i think i missed out many other stuff by being in the last slot, but anyway it was still a great trip

my loots

pleated satin top in jade
it looked really big but i tried it on and it fit
love the color
$15 only (UP $26 excl postage)
great buy

pleated colorblock dress
material feels waterproof, like those raincoat type
bought this last piece at regular price $32
abit ex for online, but i think quite worth the buy
cause its DKNY inspired and the original pc that it was inspired by cost 3 figures
the last item i bought was an off shoulder dress for $12 which looks 90% close to the asos one i wanted. so, im happy!

now these are the things that caught my eye recently...

been into red lately... but i cant find this dress:(

tomorrow is my first day of work!
feeling excited; hope it will be good
i will miss my days of slacking, but it has been a good (almost) 3 months worth of rest
its time to start my engine again....
whooopeee!
and im so happy its so much nearer my place (Ubi)
only about 15mins bus ride there (less if the traffic wasnt so bad)
i also got a better pay despite this gloomy economy
and i m happy enough for now.

counting down to a brand new 2010!
we will work things out.

goodbye or see you,
I'll be your best kept secret or your biggest mistake.
