there are some things you say that you cant take back and i can never forgive i hate it how words can hurt this way. the invisible helmet on my head just screws on tighter every second,clouding my vision.at many points in my life i have bridged to new chapters where i feel that i may be the same person but more liberated.now i can laugh without worrying what people think of me,criticize without worrying about hw others judge me,say anything that is on my mind without worrying about losing my friends cos they know what kind of person i am.

it really affects me alot when i lose a friend cos i feel that i dont have chemistry with alot of people such that i can talk about anything comfortably with them.it makes me really disillusioned about friendship sometimes,is it really worth the time and emotional investment when people just drift apart eventually and dont bother to communicate,or move on to new environments.i really do make the effort to maintain communication with the people in my life that i treasure and whether it gets reciprocated is another matter.i dont feel that it is pathetic at all because it comes from the bottom of my heart and it is up to other people to judge me.perhaps i have made mistakes and rubbed off people the wrong way,but u cant really please everyone can you.

move on,forget,laugh,love,live.wonder how long i can keep this shit up.


anyway on to lovelier things! i went to ion with jonathan lau the gay pimp yesterday :D and we stared at coloured pencils and louis vuitton bags (yes we actually went inside the shop looking like a couple of idiots and enquired very cheem questions and i declared loudly i wanted a lv messenger bag)and some more he looked like a banana cos of his shaved head and yellow polo tee HAHAHA.


why ion in good to shop in:
can pole dance,skate,slide across the floor and ull practically be unhurt and not affect anyone (may get a few weird stares though) while for taka u need to squeeze through the crowds.plus u can act tai tai and posh and make plans for ur future career haha.

notable shops in ion:

faber castel
remember the colour pencils we had a pri school?well now they cost $1150 per set for adults! whoa! we practically stood outside the shop and ogled at the pencils.a few miserable pencils that pwn a louis vuitton bag.like wat turf.not something u see every day,only in ion! for the rich and er...richer.

then we went taka,where jon forced me to say hi to my ex colleagues being the true asshole that he is and to cope free coffee.
IT IS FREE.


louis vuitton
that is needless to say,however zhiwen just told me recently not worth it to buy now cos they changing the design,i salute you girl truly a tai tai in training.jon is buying from hk anyway and im not too interested in branded good unless they are like gorgeous like the louis vuitton messenger bag which i fell in love with when i saw it at a polar cafe <3 oh my loves i shall holdeth u one day,thou art kind.

some liquer shop
with many bottles of different coloured liquer shaped like male genitalia -.- and super expensive of course,once broken considered sold.
SOUR CHERRY WITH A DASH OF VODKA SOUNDS GORGEOUS :)*hint*

then we sort of discuss stuff for our birthday party and decided cope our serviettes from macdonalds,our sugar packets from starbucks and make it a potluck party in the void deck (JUST KIDDING LAH HAHAH) but i really want a big birthday bash so that i can meet all my friends in one go though the usual big bday is when ur 21?




someone please explain to me why i like taylor swift.
i talk about her quite frequently with my friends,have her pretty face as my handphone wallpaper( in a pretty turquoise dress with gold dust *.*)



and skill wise even her manager/producer/director declared that she CANNOT SING.granted her voice is quite breathy and squeaky compared to her album track version and most of her songs can be played in a few simple chords,the strumming technique is nowhere near as refined as jason mraz or john mayer ( guitar gods *worship*)

and is something wrong with those marketing producers.she is so NOT COUNTRY.i mean,in a couple of tracks there is an evident country-ish feel in the background tracks like "our song" but you belong with me is DEFINITELY NOT COUNTRY.


the lyrics are even more ridiculous than high school musical! ( i watched high school musical 1 & 2,refused to pay money to watch the third one and will only watch the fourth one if it features zac and vanessa being destroyed in an alien vs predator menace )


but anyway i think her appeal lies in her soulful lyrics,her sincere and clean image and her appeal to the lingering desire in our hearts for when we can sing "today is a fairytale".on the other hand,ppl might think what the **** is she talking abt this makes no sense.LOL.

so anyway that would be all for now.







muacks!

p.s. this is my blog,my name is min ling ( 2 words) and i am not going to sing at kbox!

got another call from another friend :D the moment I saw the number I picked it up and went “HELLO SLUT :DDD” VERY LOUDLY. late but a nice surprise!and he proceeded to remind me about an embarrassing incident during/after michelle’s birthday party,which I am reminded to blog about in total ashamed embarrassment, this could be framed in the Hall of Min Ling’s Embarrassing and Unglam incidents as the Top 10 incidents of Stupidity Not Amounting to Her Fault.



Okay so basically yk was fetching us home,me and jlau and some others happily in the car.boomz goes the car!( so okay maybe not) then 5 seconds before yk drops me off,I go “hey rmb to open the boot hor” cos my basketful of leftovers and stuff are in the carboot( I had to carry off like a mountain of food to michelle’s party).so I get out of the car,say byebye and proceed to the boot.I attempted to open it a couple of times and was puzzled that IT WOULD NOT OPEN.then the car suddenly just sped off! I think yk totally forgot my stuff was in my boot.i was like KNNBCCB FUCKFUCKFUCK WHAT THE HELL?????? But obviously I didn’t run after the car ( it is impossible to catch up.ok maaayyy be I did my memory is kind of foggy at this point but I was kind of stunned that such a clichéd incident could happen! It is like some channel 8 drama of chasing after cars fruitlessly lah! Stupid driver and stupid passengers not to notice me! TSK WHAT KIND OF FRIENDS ARE YOU GUYS) so after being unceremoniously stranded,i realized that my phone was flat FML and so I sped off home to call jon’s phone ( I can memorize his phone number cos he spams too much,FML) and listen to him laugh hysterically at my moment of Stupidity while asking yk to turn back the car back to my apartment.then I went down to the car ( hard time identifying cos it was so dark alrd) and jokingly scold the both of them ( still laughing hysterically) and get my stuff.geez.yk lives all the way in jurong east leh! Imagine if he had driven my stuff all over to jurong east.OMG.NOOOOOOOO.
Okay back to the topic.i love it when people call to chat on the phone it really adds a personal touch. i know im really lucky to get friends who care enough to call instead of just leaving text messages on my phone.( im such a chatterbox,usually the few words in text message aren’t enough,im radiating sugar!) even though it pisses off my mom when it comes at the dead of the night,the laughter and friendship is worth a few scoldings.i really do miss JC friends loads.im like sooo sentimental lately! I guess when u make lots of new friends I tend to compare them to the ones I currently have.



Okay not that I don’t love people who text as well,shows that you care!



Ive been wondering recently if we should judge people too early.for example,whether they dao us,whether they bother to make friends with you, their demeanour, their mannerisms,they way they act around others,it all factors in the perception of someone.for me chemistry matters a lot when making friends,probably because my best pals are those people who are proud to be who they are and not afraid to share it with the world :D I wish I could reach that pinnacle but by nature im still somewhat reserved.WILL HAVE TO WORK ON BEING LOUDER.LOUDERRRRR.





life is wonderfully mundane.



finally some semblance of routine as i wake up and decide to go for a morning jog,then brunch :D all by my blissful self alone Mr.Fork and Mr. Spoon after Mr.Chopsticks Fail. then headed off to Chinese Swimming Club for a cooking lesson with Sharon the pastry madame.





essentially,just learnt how to make macarons with this ah beng looking instructor from coffee bean and tea leaf.it was basically a cooking demo,i felt very ripped off in not being able to do much hands on.ill upload photos when i hv the chance!



when he squeezed the macarons out onto the baking tray,me and sharon were like.omigosh.SO PINK.but pretty all the same :D and 75% of the session was made of talking cock with sharon and catching up on updates and telling her about law camp.oh gosh how i miss talking cock with the nyjc-ians.i havent found anyone who is like them in law yet hopefully i do soon.



i took out my polaroid photo montage and kind of explained my og to her,she told me one of the guys was cute ,it was so out of the ordinary that i burst out laughing and she had to endure ribs from me for the rest of the day.



otherwise the macarons were pretty tasty,life is uneventful and sharon i hope you found the nuts at chinese swimming club delish





had a long phone talk with jon on the phone recently,been wondering if law is the right choice.he is one of the people that i feel would understand me the best,law is too serious and political for someone who likes to talk nonsense like me.i read an article in the newspaper yesterday on NUH and i really feel that the medical profession can be something very meaningful ( or if it is just propaganda by SPH.



this will be the start of a food series :)


going out with jonnycake next week to get his louis vuitton wallet O.O what is with the world and branded wallets.LOL.but look forward to crapping with him again! my nonsense level is stock full. :D

Labels: crappy baking lesson, food, macarons, sharon

had a chat with one of my lawmates on msn a few days ago.im really glad someone in law is at least vaguely similar to my jc pals.jc was one of the only times i had something closest to a clique that made me look forward to going to school every day despite all the politics and insane workload.

well off to do some requests!


Im clinging onto a beach ball bobbing on the blue-green waves of the ocean.



mental note to stay off facebook at home and at work.

....and to go shopping =.= itll be my first suit though!

i can imagine waking up in the morning 10 years later to a wardrobe full of black and white.

finally bonked at my aunties scanners and scanned my montage of my og polaroids!stuck there with blue tack cos im going to remove it from the frame to put back in the album,im scared itll be damaged if i leave it montage style.im a bit worried about being overly dramatic and seeming like too much of a showoff,but a couple of people seem to like it so far so itll stay up until further notice ^^

will blog more when i have the mood and the time tmr :)

law camp has been awesome so far,loads of great people in my OG and i dont see any of the elitist shit i was warned abt XD definitely memorable.it really questioned my intentions to read law and showcased the best and worst sides of law school.there were laugh-out-loud moments and shit-in-your-pants scary parts,but it is no use describing them,youll have to experience it yourself to get what it really feels like.



had to leave at the end of the second day though cos of work :( wished the whole day tt i was there with them.and looked like =.= the whole day cos i was damn shagged ( didnt sleep well for the whole week cos of late sleeping at 2-3am? not too sure why must get my sleep cycle back on track.going back tmr cos i miss my OG too much and for the formal dinner which im kinda looking forward too though it will be weird cos like we are dressing up to go to school but nehmind got style can le.



got a new fuji instax recently,contemplated for quite awhile before getting it cos im not one of those people crazy about photography and the cost of the film is just plain scary,it is like a stab to my wallet with every flash of the photograph.and if the photo turns out like shit THERE IS NO TURNING BACK :( wasted a couple of films due to wrong exposure u can just FEEL my heart breaking.but otherwise i choose it over digicam any day * winks* the feel of instant shiokness is just satisfying to me.





was deciding btwn blue and pink ( rather lamely i might add cos i just stood there and uhh-ed and umm-ed,so awkward.and the china auntie was giving me that sian face while i took my own sweet time deciding.) auntie finally psycho-ed me to choose pink though im more known for my blue-ness D:photos will be up when i have time,it is interesting to see how the shots look like,some may be darker or lighter than u think and in one self portrait ( read: cam whore ) i had some brown splash that looked suspiciously like a shit worm beside my innocently smiling face.





awesome if u are into this kind of stuff <33

[/edit]

so here is myu eva luation after taking a few shots.

be prepared to sacrifice a few test shots.heart pain ahhhh~~~
camera is cheap compared to digital cameras but film is super expensice grr.like $1.25 flies away for every shot :( im still trying to figure out the settings relative to the environment,it really isnt as easy as it looks.oh man really getting my just deserts for suaning photography as not being an art before lol.

buy from j8 the kodak there actually quite cheap lei,i mean for a shopping centre as compared to online,like $119 for a pack of film + the camera,the auntie if she likes u will get a free album( YAY) and help you set up the camera and teach u to use it.online is like supposed to be cheap,but not worth the risk and the ripoff :/


u cant undo the picture -.- so you better get a good shot there!but the unexpectedness and the feeling of shiokness when the film develops is just undescribable.i think it is really worth the cash!













i do not miss michelle because im going to be rich in the future,own a private jet and fly there every weekend for all i care and get free medical treatment and cow dung.

working for the Singapore International Water Week,pretty insightful so far! plus i learnt how to use excel and get paid for it! oh an office job is so much better than sales in terms of comfort.but it is just the butt-paining from sitting too long that is a little :S hopefully i am not too sedentary in the future i heard that sitting too long ( even if you exercise and stuff) can be detrimental to your health.









dont you think it is funny when in those punching and kicking cartoon no bloods ever gets spilled?or how human minions suddenly turn into robots who attack the heroes?i understand that they needed the robots to smash so it wouldnt be too gory for a childrens cartoon but what happened to all the soldiers? did they just resign or something?







at some stage in our life we become kinda sado-macho-pedophilic cos bloody cartoons make us laugh.oh well a filler for the day.







i think one of the most effective ways of judging you career is to look at satire cartoons,though,hence:










sometimes i wish i wasnt that much of a girl so i wouldnt get distracted by clothes and shoes and stuff and actually buy them ( luckily i dont have expensive taste all my clothes fall ard 20-30 range,would never dream of spending 50+ on a dress or shoes.



on another note law dinner is coming up( after law camp),i think the seniors know we miss prom or just wanted to give us another chance to experience something prommish.i alrd know what im gonna wear ( nothing crazy or cool like the last prom,just a white dress) but i dont have the shoes to go with it T.T so time to get around spending my mom's c&k voucher i guess.mom told me not to get heels that are too high and i personally know ill fall within 5 steps but sometimes the designs are so nice :/ omg i wish i could stop being a girl I AM A MAN.





im looking at this and this



good thing i am not boy crazy too,that incident in JC1 really cemented my perspective that mulling over boys is a waste of time.i got better things to do with my life than mine,for example,be a multimillionaire goddes bwahhaha!
