Hums of a restless heart

Super old picture of me when I was like... 16 or something. In KL with Renee, no idea what I'm doing. Still don't have any what I'm doing now anyway. As much as I love my job, going to work everyday is a constant reminder that I'm now an adult. I'm resisting this change with all of me thus resulting in a daily battle within my already restless soul. Thankfully this is not the end yet, I still have Uni to go. Except I have to actually apply to schools... which I've not done yet.

Here's another picture of 17 year old me because I'd rather be fat (see face below), young and happy than my slightly depressed stage now. Those good ol' days...

Red velvet

This was sometime last week. Friends like Xinyee keep me rooted and sane during a crazy work week :) Had waaaaay too much cake/dessert to last me a lifetime. Cutting down on the sweet nibbles before I fall sick again. 

Virgin flying experience

Been so lazy to update, my life has come to a standstill.

Anyway, I got assigned a food review at SkyLoft for the magazine and the super nice PR people asked me to bring a +1 to the tasting and gave us complimentary iFly flights too! They really know how to make journalists happy. Naturally Siyun and I were super excited days before the flight hehe. That girl is a natural (see picture above in blue) while I am a klutz who kicked nonstop in the air (above in red).

Food + amazing view was exceptional. At dinner, I realised how young I am to be working in this industry. I wonder if people actually take us seriously... but ohwell. Everyone has to start somewhere, right?

Tonight, my family is going to iFly again. Ben and Melissa are super excited about it, I can imagine their happy faces already. I'm kind of sick now, I don't know how to classify this sickness though. I feel like I'm having a fever, except I'm not heating up but I have aches all over and feeling cold and running nose. It's a terrible feeling really, I went to bed last night at around 8pm, waking up only to answer a short phone call from Jotham who's still stuck in camp.

One Hundred

The 100th post (finally!) on this blog is dedicated to the boy who sends me ultra cute, sweet and corny text messages like:

"... The point of this text is to tell you that you are the cutest thing in the whole world and you are dearest to me. I luv, wuv and love you like a fool would. Fool for you, fooled by you. Hahahahahhaha. Have a good night."

Pictures above are in chronological order from July, Sep and Oct, all in 2010. The pre-army, pre-graduation, making-cute-faces (still do) Jotham. First picture was the first time you came to my house and I made pasta for you aka the first and last time I cooked for you up till now. I now enjoy your cooking (scrambled eggs!) better. Second picture was taken in Sentosa as we were waiting for the tram to go... somewhere. We played the luge and I screamed for you, full name and all, to stop because you were speeding past me and I'm a sore loser. You stopped hehe. Third picture was in my room cutting up and making my Halloween costume (pocahontas) so we could head down to the chalet at Pasir Ris. Forgot to eat, drank too much, got too drunk. You brought me home and stayed over to cuddle me to sleep and we swore never to drink so much ever again. Still keeping to that promise.

Everything is so fresh in my memory; it feels like only a few months ago. Ok, so it's not thaaat long ago but time really flies. Soon we'll be hitting our second and then it's your ORD and it's Sydney and from there on... oh dear, I don't even want to think in details about that. Though I sincerely hope and pray with all my heart that when we're 40, we can proudly exclaim to everyone we've basically spent half of our lives together! Because we're that cute together. And oh, you know, hold our wrinkly hands and walk on the streets and stuff.

Ok, I'm stopping this corniness here. Whoever reads this probably already understands that this boy is the love of my life <3

Locked in

I'm at home at this hour because I got locked in. Somebody took my keys to school/work and there's no keys to let me out of the house. I was so annoyed (furious was more like it) when I wanted to leave the house at 8.30am for work. Proceeded to spend the next 30 minutes flipping the house upside down and made panicky calls to my mom and bro. Thank God my editor was really nice about it and so I'm working from home in the comfort of my bed, not too bad actually. Have some errands to run later (for work) so I've got to rush work now.

That is my lunch. Ironic how I lament about eating in front of the computer at work but I do that at home too.

This dance

Chairlift is too awesome. Anyone else who does this Amanaemonesia dance will look ridiculous, except her. I don't know how she dances with a straight face!

Anyway, looking forward to Skinny Pizza tonight with Jotham's mom and Naomi :) Plans for today: Clean the car & grocery shopping.
