things we always forget about


Never be stingy with smiles, hugs, and kisses.
You never know who needs them most.




Never compromise yourself when helping others.
That's as good as prostituting yourself.



Mean it when you say "I Love You".
Or else you're tarnishing its value.



Make time for everyone, especially yourself.
You are your own.



Always be as honest as you can be.
Unless you enjoy being lied to.




~^*#*^~^*#*^~^*#*^~^*#*^~

Snapping out of it
is the moment you realise
that the event you thought
you didn't survive,
you actually did.

Moving forward
is the moment you realise
that if you put your trust out there
again and the worst happens,
you'll survive again.

~^*#*^~^*#*^~^*#*^~^*#*^~

La vie est Belle <>


where is she ?


Even though my life was kind of screwed up a couple of months ago, I was still happy.
Because I know who I am.



It took me a long time to get to that point.
To rediscover myself, to establish myself, and to finally be myself.
I couldn't care less about what people wanna think of me, cos it's MY life.



I do what I wanna do, and I say what I wanna say.



But it seems like now that I've got my life settled, I've lost myself.
I'm confused.



The girl who knows what she wants.

The girl who isn't all work and no game.

The girl who cares immensely for others, yet still remember to put herself first.

The girl who is all sugar & spice & everything nice, but you know better than to mess with her.

SHE IS GONE ! ! !



I've been feeling so blue these few days because of this.
Tsk tsk.



Ever since coming over, I've been all sugar & spice & everything nice. I'm becoming so sweet that I'm getting diabetes soon.
Yuck !

And that bitch fit in me has yet to see the daylight. I need to start throwing my tempers around, and act like a spoilt brat. Or I'll go crazy real soon.
I need to sulk, and pout like there's no tomorrow !

Those regular doses of gossips, bitchy comments, evil eye, and bossiness in my life has vanished. Or maybe I just forgot to pack them along with me.
GAH !



Adrian said to me a couple of times before, that coming over, I can be who I want to be.
But the point is, I wanna be who I am before. I don't want to change.

Perhaps I have to find out what sparked the change.



Anyway, was chatting with Farhana yesterday, and she mentioned about wanting to blog about 2006.
I told her I have no idea what to write. And indeed, I'm not planning to write anything about it.

To put it real short and sweet, 2006 has been a tremendous year for me, because 3 very huge events happened.
And these events are so significant that they changed my outlook & direction in life.



And this time round, I'm not gonna be coming up with a huge chunk of "resolutions".
You never did get around to fulfilling them anyway.
It probably looks nice. That's all.





My only wish for the new year, is to never forget the real reason why I left home & the ones I love.

And to find myself again, soon.

Of perfumes & scents . . .


I absolutely adore perfumes, but do not use them regularly.



I've been lusting after Calvin Klein's Eternity Moment since last year, and still, have yet to get it.




Recently I saw it in a gift pack, together with the CK's body bath and body lotion, at a really good price, but I didn't get it in the end.

It's still on my mind though. It has always been!



I have only 4 brands of perfumes right now, and I rarely us
e them. And so I reckon, adding Eternity Moment to my collection, would be equivalent to placing it on the shelf, collecting dust. Which also means I have one more item to clean. Haha.

But I seriously love the scent!

Dilemma, dilemma.




~ Isabella Rossellini's Manifesto ~



My first ever perfume, given by Aunt Joyce on my birthday.

It smells really elegant, and so I only use it for special occasion like classy dates, events, interviews or project presentations.

It's almost used up and I've been searching high and low for it.

My bestie Kerlyn, told me that she saw it at Isetan, but I never found it. Frustrated!

And not to mention, the packaging is pure love! It's white, with a green stripe down the middle.
Simplicity!




~ Burberry Brit ~



I lusted for this perfume for quite some time, and mentioned it to my bestie CS, that I was gonna get it soon.

Being the sweetie he is, he surprised me by sending it to my house as a Christmas present!

I could never forget the shock I got when I opened up the wrapping. I was choked with emotion!

It's really sweet smelling, and so I use it when I'm feeling all girly girly, or on great nights out with my girlfriends.

Sometimes I use it on dates too. To give the impression that I'm really sweet. Wahaha!




~ Inis Arose ~



This is given by Aunt Elaine, when she got back from France with her hubby.

It has a really special scent, so I use it on days when I wanna feel different from the crowd, or simply when I feel tropical.

I absolutely adore the bottle. So chic!




~ Body Shop Perfume ~



A gift from my lovely Cheryl.

I love it cos I can mix and match them, to create different scents. And not to mention, I can bring it out with me even when I'm using a really small bag!

It's mostly half used, and my favourite among them is Chymara. It has a musky scent which makes me feel empowered.



So yeah, I'm seriously considering if I should get Eternity Moment. The scent is really light and feminine, so most likely I'll use it for school.



And since we're on perfumes, I just wanna say that I don't believe in having my own signature scent.

Though it is good, as people will always be reminded of you when they smell that scent, but I'm too temperamental to stick to only one scent!

Haha.



This is what happens when we're bombarded with too many choices!

Over


Most of the times, I find it hard to delete the messages sent to me by someone I fancy.
There is just something about seeing his name and messages in my inbox, that is ever so delightful.



But when I did delete away those messages, it spells the end of everything I feel for that person.
Romantically, that is.




There will come a day, when I start contemplating whether to delete those messages, and usually, I won't. Cos I'm not so sure about myself yet.
This thought will cross my mind several times, until one fine day, I just delete them.
I just don't feel anything, anymore.



And that I did, today.
I deleted his messages.



So farewell to those feelings I have for you.
It's over.



And once I deleted those messages, I never look back.
And today is no exception.



*grin*

that slut in me


She loves them tall . . . The taller, the better.
She loves them bright . . . The brighter, the better.
She loves them sexy . . . The sexier, the better.



She's always on the lookout for the perfect fit.
As long as she can get her hands on them, she'll slip them on.



It has been quite some time, since she had some serious indulgence.
And she's getting cranky.



I'll have to appease her soon . . .
That shoe slut in me.





I'm going on a heels rampage!
Woot!

random - ness


Mutually beneficial relationship exists when 2 people come together, and provide with each other, what the other party wants/needs.

This kind of relationship is usually short term. After all, it is purely based on the benefits you can get out of the other person. Once there is no longer any benefit, the relationship expires.

There are lots of examples around.
X pays Y, Y does X's assignment.
X cooks for Y, Y wash the dishes.
X pays Y, Y provides X with dope.
X sleeps with Y, Y does X a favour.



So when a mutually beneficial relationship comes into existence, will you take it?

And if enjoyment/pleasure is involved, will you gladly embrace it while it lasts?

And yeah, it isn't exclusive.



So think about it, and share your view with me yeah?



: xoxo :




To all my beloved and darlings, Merry Christmas and a Happy 2007 to ya'll ! ! !

Hopefully 2006 has been a fantabulous year for all of you, and may 2007 be even better ! ! !

Lots of love, and lots of bear huggies ! ! !

Sensational


I walk around barefooted in my house back in Singapore. But ever since coming over, my footwear is literally stuck on me, with the exception of when I'm sleeping and bathing.

When I was doing home stay with the Maglizza's, the room I lived in had furry, cream coloured carpet. The kind you see on animal skin rug. Yet, you walk around with your shoes on.

Currently in the student house I'm living in, the room is also carpeted, but with the normal office kind. And you walk around with your shoes on too.




Until yesterday, my feet are finally freed!

The sensation of my feet touching solid ground is indescribable. The feeling of smooth wood and cold tiles against my bare feet is just total bliss!

Having been cooped in footwear most of the time, my feet seems to have lost some sense. So for once, I actually feel weird walking around barefooted, and had a teetered kind of walk.




So if you want to know how it feels, go ahead and walk around with your shoes on for a month, only taking them off when you bath and sleep. Then take them off one fine day, and walk around on solid ground. It just feels different.




Or maybe it's just me. I could be a little too sensitive.

Lovely lovely family


Had a family gathering on one of the weekend, before I left. I wanted to get together with everyone. I'm such a home girl!

And as usual, we had steamboat. It is a really common way of dining at home. We have it during Chinese New Year, sometimes during Mother's Day, and whatever festive days we can think of.



But I love it! And I'm one of those who always had second round. Hee.




So while everyone was busy prepping the food, I was busy packing my things. And it's REALLY messy. I had such a hard time trying to think of what to bring, and what not to.



And of course, how can I ever forget my collection of bags and shoes? NO WAY! I especially set aside half of the luggage for them. Hohoho.



And finally, this is what my completed load looks like...




I was reminded by the adults to bring along any medicine I'm taking, and my Gramp even gave me this Chinese pills, which you take when you have a really "upset" stomach.



I'm extremely prone to having sore throat, diarrhoea and girly pain. The weirdest thing is that I have an allergy towards a certain kind of sore throat medicine, which turns my lips into "sausage lips". Yet I have no idea which exact medicine is it that I'm allergic to.

And because I'm a pea brained person, I forgot to bring along the all important multi-purpose wonder drug, Panadol! I only came to realize that, when I fell sick on the second week I arrived in Perth. Tsk tsk.



So anyway, here's something fascinating. At least it is, to me. Haha.



The Aussie notes, have different human faces on every one of them, and on every side of them. Not like our Singapore dollar notes, which has only one face, and scenery on the other side.




And here's my darling brother, with my bunch of cutesy male cousins, all crammed in a corner watching King Kong! Aww... I'm missing them!



And of course, I'm missing you guys too. My lovely peeps.

BZ BZ me.


Will not be updating my blog for the rest of this week and probably next week too.

Just moved in to the student hostel and spent the whole weekend organising and sorting things out. And in turn, I've now got myself a backlog of school work.
And not to mention that there's gonna be tests coming up!

(panic mode: ON)

AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(panic mode: OFF)

And in the mean time, I gotta get the internet issue settled. So if you don't see me in MSN, don't panic. I'm well and fine. Just cut off from the virtual world for the time being.
You can still email me. I get to check emails in school.

Gotta go write my essays now.
*grumbles*

So check back in a week or 2 alright?
Love you peeps loads and loads!

All about
: elise :

Jack (or is it Jane?) of all trades,
(almost!)

but Master of none.
(trying to!)

This is my paradise, where I indulge my senses grandiloquently.

A collective effort to keep family & friends updated, and for random strangers to pop by.

I wanted to put a HUGE picture of myself in this space, but being the technologically challenged person that I am, I can't figure out the mojo of it.

So I guess I'll just have to make do with scattering loads of random self-shots all over the blog!

Hugs & Kisses
