One step closer to Beijing [3]
25
August

I’m feeling drained……… I was only physically tired before because of lack of sleep but now I’m also mentally drained! Boo… Friday, the last day of the week to tie up the loose ends and run last min errands. I think I’ve done all I wanted to do but I can’t help but think I might have missed something?? Most of them aren’t even that important but having done them reassures me.

Eitherway, the last couple of weeks have kept me pretty busy. Doing what? I’m not exactly sure… I think it’s mainly catching up with friends and arranging the things in KL and Beijing. I have such a headache from all that planning, stressing about this and that and things I had no reason to stress about in the first place.

Taking a timeout, I destressed when I didn’t even realise I had to destress. Doing things normally as if I had all the time in the world helped, but in the end I still have to face the fact that I’m leaving ‘tomorrow’ (Sunday). Btw eVee, I have given up on cleaning my room but unfortunately … here I am typing away at the keyboard when I should be sleeping!

I still have Saturday to try and finish up the little bits and pieces which don’t really need to be done. That is, if I wake up early enough to get around to doing it!! Even waking up seems like such a pain, literally! My body has been aching… first it was an arm or leg but now it just aches! It makes getting out of bed that little bit more difficult and it doesn’t help that I just want to snuggle under the covers and go to my dreamland… Beijing…. You better be worth it!

Beautiful Girls – Sean Kingston
21
August


I’ve been having some trouble falling asleep lately, and it seems to coincide with the date of my departure (fyi it’s this Sunday, 26th August). When I lay in bed at night, it’s as if my brain doesn’t want to wind down and it races over my past present and future. It actually isn’t so bad because it’s made me realised how lucky I have been all my life, but this tossing and turning has deprived me of sleep.

Anyways, I remember I used to go to bed with music playing so I think I’ll have to try it again. So here’s another catchy song by Sean Kingston called Beautiful Girls . Sean Kingston finally got himself a youtube video so this video is from his youtube site!


[Chorus:]
Damn all these beautiful girls
They only wanna do your dirt
They’ll have you suicidal, suicidal
When they say it’s over

You’re way too beautiful girl
That’s why it’ll never work
You have me suicidal, suicidal
When you say it’s over
Damn all these beautiful girls
They only wanna do your dirt
They’ll have you suicidal, suicidal
When they say it’s over

[Verse 1:]
See it started at the park
Used to chill after dark
Oh when you took my heart
That’s when we fell apart
Cause we both thought
That love last forever (last forever)
They say we’re too young
To get ourselves sprung
Oh we didn’t care
We made it very clear
And they also said
That we couldn’t last together (last together)

[Pre Chorus:]
See it’s very divine
You’re a one of a kind
But you mush up my mind
You outta get declined
Oh Lord…
My baby is driving me crazy

[Chorus:]
You’re way to Beautiful girl
That’s why it’ll never work
You have me suicidal, suicidal
When you say it’s over
Damn all these beautiful girls
They only wanna do your dirt
They’ll have you suicidal, suicidal
When they say it’s over

[Verse 2:]
It was back in ’99
Watchin’ movies all the time
Oh when I went away
For doin’ my first crime
And I never thought
That we was gonna see each other (see each other)
And then I came out
Mami moved me down South
Oh I’m with my girl
Who I thought was my world
It came out to be
That she wasn’t the girl for me (girl for me)

[Pre Chorus:]
See it’s very divine
You’re a one of a kind
But you mush up my mind
You outta get declined
Oh Lord…
My baby is driving me crazy

[Chorus:]
You’re way too beautiful girl
That’s why it’ll never work
You have me suicidal, suicidal
When you say it’s over
Damn all these beautiful girls
They only wanna do your dirt
They’ll have you suicidal, suicidal
When they say it’s over

[Verse 3:]
Now we are fussin’
And now we are fightin’
Please tell me why
I’m feelin’ slighted
And I don’t know
How to make it better (make it better)
You’re datin’ other guys
You’re tellin’ me lies
Oh I can’t believe
What I’m seein’ in my eyes
I’m losin’ my mind
And I don’t think it’s clever (think it’s clever)

You’re way too beautiful girl
That’s why it’ll never work
You’ll have me suicidal, suicidal
When you say it’s over

Dinner @ Bella Rosa
19
August

Dinner with the gang found us at Cafe Bella Rosa, the cozy italian restaurant which we were meant to go to the last time but it was booked out.

CAFE BELLA ROSA
897a Albany Hwy
Victoria Park
9472 5300

Our table was tucked away in the corner in which they fit all 7 of us on the table for 5/6 because 2 people gave an extremely last min notice blee

For starters, the Chilli Mussels were really yummy! And the garlic bread was a little tough and not at all toasty. The mains were very filling … depending on which one you ordered and how much you can eat. Perhaps they just put less with the seafood options? Other than that, I didn’t hear of any complaints about the meal itself.

The place was really busy throughout the night and the tables were placed a little bit too close together (the restaurant itself is quite small). So when coffee and cake arrived a bit slow, or not arrive at all, it was no suprise.

And of course, a night out with this bunch always ends in some sort of alcohol induced situation. Peer pressure is horrible and so, I ended up cancelling my plans for the rest of the night for a night of um… interesting videos o_o

Our famous “Jaeger Pours” – when you just don’t have enough shot glasses

Sorry, I can’t post up any more photos. The main reason being that my camera ran out of memory and battery, the other being that what little photos we took (that weren’t “accidentally” deleted) are drunken moments not meant to be posted (plus I’ld get some serious asS whooping!!!!).

Blogging in 中文
17
August

I was surfing around for a good blog to read as usual, and I realised that I’m encountering more and more chinese blogs.

要是我想找好读的 ‘blog’ 我最好学中文学快一点。我看过文章写：一个人应该最少知道三千字就可以看报纸。
三千字！？没问题！我现在知道这么多了，三千应该很容易。。。 NOT hahano (in Borat terms)

Yes okay, I know a decent amount of characters however the retension rate isn’t so good sweat So my aim is to learn more than 3000 characters!

我觉得我可以认出三千多字就很好。我会写三千多字(without help) 我一定会出去庆祝庆祝一下 yay 不过，我还学不下三千个字我也会出去玩玩以下。哈哈！

Now, the only problem is that I don’t know how many characters I currently know… So how many more characters do I need to learn to reach my target??

What I’ve Done – Linkin Park
14
August

Here is a great song made greater by being associated with the Transformers giggle Linkin Park – What I’ve Done

I may not like all the songs by Linkin Park, but I find that the ones I do like reach out to me. It’s not just a pretty tune to listen to meH




In this farewell
There’s no blood
There’s no alibi
‘Cause I’ve drawn regret
From the truth
Of a thousand lies

[Pre-Chorus:]
So let mercy come
And wash away
What I’ve done

[Chorus:]
I’ll face myself
To cross out what i’ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what i’ve done

Put to rest
What you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands of uncertainty

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

For what I’ve done
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I’m forgiving what I’ve done!!!

[Chorus]

What I’ve done
Forgiving what I’ve done

Xanga Lives On
09
August

FYI, my Xanga is still very much alive. I couldn’t help but redecorate when I realised how easy it was to use Xanga Themes!! I like! I like! When I get the time, I’m thinking of trying for a design to personalise it a little. But that won’t be any time soon!

Now… why can’t Word Press be more like Xanga?? Now that I’ve gotten used to the quirks of WordPress, I know that I’m not getting the best deal. I hate how many plugins I have to install just to have the blog function the way I want and I don’t like the fact that I don’t know enough psp to customise it, and I blame this on WordPress even though it’s my own fault for not knowing….

I am definately a fan of Xanga! I love how far they’ve come as a community as well as in terms of their design and all their available functions. And on top of all that, you don’t even have to have premium!!

But anyway, I’m quite happy with the current theme I have and I won’t be moving back to Xanga for a while. I’m still logging into Xanga regularly to surf within the community and to upload some photos. I don’t think I’ll be giving up on Xanga just yet, you never know when I might feel the need to check out those protected Xanga sites ^_-
