Sushi For Dinner 3 Times In 4 Days

Saturday night with girlfriends.

Yesterday night Last night with Mommy.

Tonight with girlfriends.

You Are the Black Bird

You are a very exciting person to be involved with in any way. You are like a drug. You've got one hell of a temper, and everyone knows it. You are prone to rage. You are ambitious, competitive, and even a tad obsessive. You are driven to win. You are a naturally powerful person. You know how to get what you want.

What Angry Bird Are You?

Blogthings: A Fine Line Between Insight and Stupidity

Nice...

I Initially Had Something Narcissistic To Post About

But it's late. And I am tired.

6 more days. That's less than a week, if you can't count!

:)))

Cannot Function Properly Without Caffeine

It's bad.

I know it's a choice, come on, I studied Psychology, ala substance abuse...

But cannot help it.

It feels good to have something to be dependent on. Not talking drugs lah though I can almost hear some people Ivy Choong arguing that caffeine is also a type of drug.

I think my fascination for coffee is in the part that it "feels" cool. So weird right.

And I much prefer ordering takeaway coffee, for some reason. It just adds on to the "cool effect".

Anyway, back to my point.

A coffee a day can't be a bad thing lah!

I Haven't Had The Time To Analyse The Lyrics Yet But The Title So Interesting

GLEE CAST LYRICS

"I Feel Pretty / Unpretty"

I wish I could tie you up in my shoes
Make you feel unpretty too
I was told I was beautiful
But what does that mean to you
Look into the mirror who’s inside there
The one with the long hair
Same old me again today

My outsides are cool
My insides are blue
Everytime I think I’m through
It’s because of you
I’ve tried different ways
But it’s all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
I’m just trippin’

You can buy your hair if it won’t grow
You can fix your nose if he says so
You can buy all the make-up that M.A.C. can make
But if you can’t look inside you
Find out who am I to
Be in a position to make me feel so damn unpretty

I feel pretty
Oh so pretty
I feel pretty and witty and bright

Never insecure until I met you
Now I’m being stupid
I used to be so cute to me
Just a little bit skinny
Why do I look to all these things
To keep you happy
Maybe get rid of you
And then I’ll get back to me (hey)

My outsides look cool
My insides are blue
Everytime I think I’m through
It’s because of you
I’ve tried different ways
But it’s all the same
At the end of the day
I have myself to blame
Keep on trippin’

You can buy your hair if it won’t grow
You can fix your nose if he says so
You can buy all the make-up that M.A.C. can make
But if you can’t look inside you
Find out who am I to
Be in a position to make me feel so damn unpretty

I feel pretty
Oh so pretty
I feel pretty and witty and bright
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me tonight

Oh oh oh oh oh (Tonight)
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh (Tonight)
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh (Tonight)
Oh oh oh oh oh

I feel pretty (You can buy your hair if it won’t grow)
Oh so pretty (You can fix your nose if he says so)
I feel pretty and witty and bright (You can buy all the make-up that M.A.C. can make)
But if you can’t look inside you
Find out who am I to
Be in a position to make me feel so damn unpretty

I feel pretty
But unpretty

# And my breakfast is still cooking in the pot - hard boiled egg and mushroom sausage :))

# It is Sunday already!

Where oh where did my weekend go?

Why Complicate Matters

It really is simple.

People make mistakes. People forgive. People move on.

Wrong choices are made. Learn from it. Next problem.

You fall. You hurt. You cry. The wound heals. On to happy times.

It's really A - B - C, come to think of it.

Thinking is warranted, but over thinking complicates matters. Muddles things up. Moral of the story is, live today, enjoy the present. Let tomorrow worry for itself. What will be will be.

That doesn't mean you can do things without thinking of the potential implication or consequences lah. Let's be mature about things and hopefully everyone reading this are capable of being responsible human beings.

So mhmm. Live today to the fullest, smile and be merry! Be sincere, be thoughtful, be kind. Love others as you would love oneself.

Maybe because it's been a good day so I am able to say this.. but I hope even when the going is rough, I can read this and remind myself of what I have just shared.

Signs off with xoxo!

Project Clean Closet Begin

Updated.

Anything not worn / not touched over the past 6 months will have to go.

Bye bye dear clothes. Almost put every single item back in.

Project clean closet #fail

I think I just created a new record of number of posts per day.

How Many Piercings Does Ai Li Have

A) 4

B) 8

C) 9

D) 10

Not giving away the answer. :P

I took off all the earrings earlier. Felt, light and clean.

As to whether I'll stop wearing all my earrings..

Nay. Don't think so. Felt light and clean yes, but I am just too used to having them on.

I was talking to Mom a couple days back, and the bottom line of the conversation was, the reason why we often take people dear to us for granted is because we know they'll always be there for us, no matter what. They're our safety nets.

San Francisco Coffee has a drink called Golden Gates! Has anyone tried that before??

Everything I am wearing today, is from Thailand. From my top, to my shorts, to my pumps. Come to think of it, 1/4 of my closet currently is filled with things from Thailand. Happy!

Should I go for a haircut? I am thinking along the lines of bangs again.

"Lei hou chi bak jor wor (Seems like you have gotten fairer)"! This I have been hearing quite a bit lately, about high time to get some tan!

Wheee, still zero progress with my To Do List thus far.

So This Is What It Feels Like

Warning: Complicated, moderately twisted, and slightly emo post ahead.

Warning II: Yes, this one, confirm I will be talking in codes.

Think I am feeling a little angsty, a lil bored, a lil tired, a sense of freedom, a sense of nothingness, a sense of happiness of not doing anything, all at the same time.

It actually feels kinda weird not being at work. I totally cannot imagine those words coming out from my own mouth right now. Seriously. But it's true.

Feeling a little empty, maybe even throw in a slight sense of being lost.

How could it be, why could it be? No idea.

I wonder if she knows I read her blog. I wonder if she appreciates that I like reading her blog. I can't help but feel a sense of similarity, familiarity perhaps? It's nice seeing your reflection in someone else. Or for that matter, someone else reflecting what I think is me. Knowing someone else who seems to reflect your thoughts, ways of life, writing, everything for that matter, is actually pretty comforting.

I really shouldn't be staring at my screen so much today, it is the doctors advice, not something I invented to derive some sympathy. But I keep coming back to the computer! So I figured heck it lah, let's write something and share what's going on in my mumbo jumbo head right now.

Don't know if you picked up on this yet, but I have been using a whole bunch of words that I don't typically use. And to be honest, I am not putting much thought into my grammar or sentence structure this time. I am literally just yapping away. Maybe I should include a Warning number III: Long post ahead.

So should you see anything that doesn't quite tie in with logic, it is probably because I am using words that I am not sure of its meaning. Just using it because it sounds fancy.

I have got 9 more days to my 23rd birthday. And everyday, I keep thinking something will happen because I have conditioned myself to expect surprises. It's so bad right. When I get a text or email, I think, "Hm, this must be a secret surprise" or something along those lines. And to be honest, it's really tiring. And while I enjoy thinking it that way, it really is tiring! I am physically telling myself to stop thinking that way from this very moment.

But you and I both know that the mind, is a powerful tool, it doesn't just stop thinking because you want it to. -__-

Songs I have on my playlist that I really wanted to share:

If I Die Young - The Band Perry

Just A Kiss - Lady Antebellum

Marry Me - Train

Super Bass - Nicki Minaj

All Time Low - The Wanted

I have created my To Do List for today. Probably should get on with it now! But don't be surprised to see another posting!

Well, I won't be surprised for sure. Later!

Thank God It's Friday

And I am on my first official MC. Significant event.

Slight eye infection, can play big eye small eye..

I shouldn't be joking about it but, it's not something too serious. Doctor gave me antibiotic eye drop. And told me to rest. So in other words, I shouldn't be staring at this screen either.

Anyways.

It's a nice day today. And it's a Friday! :))

Why, Hello!

".... emo Nemo," someone once said something along those lines.

And I have got a pretty big forehead! Hm.

It is mid week!

I Do Not Talk In Codes

And yes, I am defensive.

If by not remembering my dreams, it will come true. Then can I purposely deliberately forget all the good dreams I have so that they will all come true??

I bet you understand what I am saying now.

Right? :))

Should Have Known Better

I told you so.. I told you so.

But what to do.

People choose what they want to believe. Everything else we remain oblivious to. That's just how it is, isn't it?

People always want things they cannot get. Because the grass is always more often than not, greener on the other side...

Or are these just applicable to me?

No. I am inclined to think that I am normal and that everyone else shares the same sentiments. If you disagree, you're the odd one.

Hee, anyways. On with a random Top 10!

1. Something Borrowed
   
   
2. That Should Be Me - Justin Bieber
   
   
3. 12 more days! :))
   
   
4. I should stop lying. But it isn't a lie if I can't identify the truth right?
   
   
5. Bangkok with the girlfriends. One word. F-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c!
   
   
6. I am constantly reminded time and time again, how blessed I am to have all you amazing people in my life. What would I do without you guys? I really wonder.
   
   What would I be without you guys? I cannot imagine.
   
   
7. Mission impossible: Lose 12kg's in 12 days!
   
   
8. Mission possible: Smile more, be happy for what is, also for what is not.
   
   
9. It doesn't always have to be about you.
   
   
10. I say this every year. I'll say again.

I don't want to grow up!

I Asked Mom What Is She Doing For My Birthday This Year

What are you planning for me this year? I asked.

How about a one way ticket? She replied.

Where to?

Timbaktu.

On an entirely different note. Mommy bought Fried Oreo's. Yes.

Fried. Oreo's.

With 14 More Days To Go

I ask myself one question.

What is important?

To Pack The Hair Dryer Or Not

Like I said, I use the hair dryer more so now when my hair is short than when my hair was longer, back then.

Yay, it is Friday tmr. And I have got more than one reason to love tmr's Friday! :))

I still have not packed. Will do so after this.

It's been a long weird, tiring and somewhat melancholic week.

Would you believe me if I said, I am not as strong as I make myself out to be? You should. I cry easily.

Though that said, I have tonnes of other things to be mindful and thankful for.

Simple pleasures in life. Definitely something to ponder upon.

Have a awesome possum wonderful weekend people!

Pathetically Luxurious

My lunch today was yesterday's half eaten Katsudon from Rakuzen.

My dinner today was Saturday night's takeaway Meatball Spaghetti from Aria @ Plaza Damansara.

Strong stomach #win

That's an oxymoron for you me.

Ai Is Tired

But my emotion radar reads:

HAPPY

I think.

Wednesday tmr! :)

Miscellaneous

Hello hello...

I just got back from a Thai dinner with the family and it was good. A tad ironic considering I'll be having real Thailand Thai food in... 5 days!

Wohoo.. xD

It was so oh-my-goodness hot today! It still is. Dear weather, please be nice.

I am beginning to be convinced that my hunch is correct. She does like you! Hm.. Maybe you like her too. I hope I am wrong but I don't think I am wrong. And if you think you know what I am talking about, you are definitely wrong.

Doggie is my real life soft toy! So cute and fluffy...

Yesterday I was talking to the Uncle in the States and then he put the baby cousin on for awhile and she sang "Twinkle twinkle little stars, How I wonder what you are..." into the phone. So adorable also!

I cooked my own lunch today! And it was good! I'll cook it for whoever who wants to try it sometime!

Need to clear my yellow nails. Not workplace appropriate.

28 days to the 5th of June. It's less than a month.

What did you do for Mother's Day?

I bought mommy dearest a heart shaped cactus. And tied a ribbon to the pot (of which was the most difficult bit).

I don't know if it'll outgrow the heart shape in due time. The guy at the florist didn't know either. T__T

But oh well, guess that's the whole point.

You didn't know what I'll grow up to be when I was born. You probably had an idea or vision of how you wanted me to be. I hope I haven't diverged too far from it!

Now let's see how the cactus will grow. Love you!

Nail Bubble Bubble

DIY-ed my own mani today. Light honey mustard colored nails. If only it didn't develop tiny bubbles.

I also realize how much I like writing. It helps me put things into perspective, for the most of it.

What do you think of coincidences? This is not the first time I am talking about "coincidence" I am sure. I think coincidences are rather creepy.

It's like, we say, the world is a small place, yet it is actually huge! Or how we say the world is a huge place, and yet it is so tiny.

For things to happen coincidentally, for people to meet coincidentally, for all the coincidentally's in life...

How scary. But fascinating at the same time.

Today was one of those I-can't-quite-grasp days. Hours just went by without me really realizing it.

In a good way though most definitely. :))

Not Available

Everyone is busy, or is away!

On MSN of course, I meant. TGIF everybody! <3

For The Time Being

Hello May

It is May already.

Almost mid year.

Where did time go?

Nevertheless...

The past 4 months has been a whirlwind of sorts.

Throw in the new job, secrets (saucy!), traveling, catching up, meeting new people, putting on weight, new habits, old habits fading away, decisions, contemplation, ups and downs, laughters and tears, a fair share of shopping, concerts, getting closer with some friends, drifting away from some (sad!), good food, Facebook stalking, reminiscing...

.. and the list goes on, it's never ending.

Hello May.
