Is Off For The Next 10 Days

And not lugging the laptop!

Pray I survive with no ample planning, just-go-and-see-how mentally is going to get me into trouble one fine day. Trust me.

Had enough with the Chinese writing (yup, definitely the after-effect of coming back from China) for now. It took me 30 minutes to write the last post when I reckon it would have been completed in under 5 mins.

I wanted to update the playlist in my phone but I realized I didn't have that many new songs anyway! Ugh.

So yup, see you guys after the 8th of July, wheeeee!

P/s: Happy be-earlied birthday Mike Wan, 4th of July, the whole United States will celebrate with you! :P

第一张全华语的 post

我不知道post华语叫设么，尽力了。而且我深深的觉得“设么”不是这样写的吧！可惜我找不到，也不记得哪一个才是对的。嚒。

又读了吓到我的闻张了！文章 才对吧，不要担心，我的华语还没差成那样！必尽也读了六年的华语再加上中学那一年的crash course。 好耶了，越写越发现真的很多字不记得了。。真掺，老师们对不起啦。

究竟是你有读我写的东西然后自己也写了，还是我们真的都在想同一回事吗？真难以相信。也或许是我想太多了，那也超有可能性。最好就是我知作多情而不是真的在被人耍。好纳闷如果真的是那样。被人当笨蛋咯。

黄爱理，闪人也要懂得实现点，下次应该不会那么好财了我想。

怎样？到目前为此还不赖吧。。呵呵！

咳，可是真的不想再想了。好累。

祝大家晚安，睡得美梦成真吧！

我一定会把你戒掉；看着吧

Gah, not cool. Absolutely uncool.

That's one low, and one high, followed by another low. All on the same subject matter. It's true. 希望越高，失望也越高。

Yay! I finally learnt how I can type 华语 on my lappie w/o having to install Chinese J.Star or whatever software there is. Yipee!

I am terrible with directions. Super terrible. And because of that, I am super grateful to know 2 human GPS's - Daddy and Kevin Saw.

Need to pack. Need to print flight itinerary. Need to get gloves from Chai. Need to book stuff. Need to write email. Need to charge camera. Need to make phone calls.

Travel Note:

23/6/2011

Guilin, China

桂林，中国

Just to keep me sane.

Life's good, not stress about work what-so-ever, at least for now. Bought a 18.5yuan White Chocolote Mocha, one word - lousy. It's so hot here.

I am convinced, I don't like my bangs. And why can't I get my feelings right. Just wondering. What was it back then? Mutual attraction? Love? Like?

Has it ever occurred to you how strange the word like is?

I like you.

I like someone who is like you.

Meh.

I still miss you sometimes. Everyone seems to have moved on. Why am I back at square one?

Note to self: Travel with people whom you are comfortable with, or, travel alone.

P/s: To be fair, I edited the note according to what I deem is appropriate for posting here. Some parts of it was just a wee bit too personal to share. Here. At least. Since I no longer know who my readers are. Hmm.

***

I think I am contradictory. And I am also convinced that 99% of my problems are self inflicted/ self induced. For instance.

I hate being lonely. But I want to be alone.

See what I mean?

*squeals*

I just finished watching episode 10 of City Hunter! How ridiculous can this get. Nooo, not the show, but the affinity I have for it. On one hand, it is so seriously skewed. On the other, I totally am hooked...

If I do end up lugging my laptop to Thailand. It is just so I don't have to wait till I come back to catch the next few episodes...

Suspense is so not good for the heart. Hee! :D

Whee, I Am Back, Hello

For 2 days. And then it is off to Thailand for the next 10 days with the kawan whose birthday falls on the 30th, no, I am not throwing you a surprise in Thailand please do not expect anything.

I have a couple of notes-I-write-while-I-travel to post but I'll probably save that for another day.

Brain is in slight overdrive at the moment. All the compartments are overlapping with one another.

It can't be me right? It can't. But it might be. How many Ai Li's are there out there anyway! But still, I doubt it. Ugh.

And I am not particularly liking the green so that might change!

I Simply Cannot Imagine Pinky Being Green So He Is Staying Pink

Went for a free mani today sponsored by mommy, not that I have been paying for the previous few... Anyhowww.

I couldn't decide on a color so I texted the friend for color preference and the choices were green or red. The friend responded, green, so green it was - Nubar Green Tea! :D

Had McD for lunch for the second time this week. So bad. T__T

Went to get my eyes checked after lunch. Vision has been slightly blurry lately (tongue twister, try saying it fast). Apparently my power dropped again. The optometrist says it's a good thing. I really hope it is considering the amount of people who have been telling me that it is not normal for power to decrease at our age.

Just did a series of quizzes on Blogthings.

I think self-expression is elegant.

My friends see me as playful.

I am cheerful.

And my heart is blue.

Accepted a job for October and December. Think I'll just start telling people I am a freelancer for now.

I have been double/triple/quadruple posting over the past week, officially beating the most posts in a month ever since I started blogging!

Will be away the next couple of days; don't miss me too hard!

Because Green Is Good For The Eyes

Supposedly lah.

Hee! How amusing is it that as I was thinking of 'going green' and Chai sent me this.

It's time for a change. Time to graduate from the pink phase, at least for the blog.

Mom bought me half a dozen of Nescafe Mocha which are in the fridge now. Had one when I woke up and my hard boiled egg is still un-eaten as we I speak. Blog hopped again, the similarities (or coincidences, whichever) seriously is freaking me out...

Guess if I were to see it in a positive light, it basically means someone out there is experiencing similar stuff which makes me less of an outlier but more normal. And being normal is good on all accounts.

The primary school across the house is having a fun fair me thinks. They're playing Jennifer's On The Floor. #win

I had a weird dream last night. I remember only fragments of it. It had something to do with a 420, a beach and a lot of arguing.

Should I change Pinky to Greeny too now??

Mom Said Doggies Don't Drink Milk

Scottie seems sick. :(

So I attempted to feed him milk instead of his usual doggie food. My rationalization was, when babies are sick, you don't feed them solids, you feed them liquids!

But mommy said, only cat's drink milk and suggested that the milk will make doggie sick-er. :((

How weird is it that 2PM's latest music video was shot in Singapore. And how weird is it that I find the lyrics totally annoying but I can't stop replaying the music vid. Hm. Mysteries in life!

Spent most of today with the kawan, lunching, getting lost umpteen times, 'breaking into a house', drinking smoothies, I will not mention how we almost crashed and died, camwhoring a wee bit, and some minimal shopping... Good day!

All except for the mess on my bed which I doubt will be cleared by end of the day.

Probably gonna crash with Mom tonight! :))

Yup, Good Luck To Me

Yesterday, a hurricane came and destroyed my closet!!

Or so I would like to believe.

No. Essentially. I got itchy and decided to pack it up but, well, something went wrong somewhere and it ended up looking like, well... that.

So I am either going to have to pack it today. Or leave it as it is, and risk getting all moody and agitated because it's in mess.

I need breakfast.

The Click Five - Don't Let Me Go

I can see your shadow laying in the moonlight
I can feel your heartbeat playing on my right side
Every night I long for this, makin' up what I miss
I can hear you breathing letting out a sad sigh

You try so hard to hide your scars
Always on your guard

Chorus
Don't, don't let me go
Don't make me hold on when you're not
Don't, don't turn away
What can I say so you won't
No don't, don't let me go...
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/t/the_click_five/dont_let_me_go.html ]
I can see the skyline fading in the distance
Tears are comin' down
I'm trying just to make sense
I don't listen to the radio just the engine and the road
I wonder if my words are makin' any difference

I dream and then it seems to end
But always comes again

Chorus

I'm comin' down
To where you're standing
I need you now or you'll be watchin'
Me hit the ground
With crash landing...

Chorus

Don't let me go...
Don't let me go...

Hm

Really?

Maybe it wasn't meant to mean that but...

Seriously? Is that how you think of me? :(

Guess I haven't exactly been painting a very good impression on people after all.

Rather, not portraying a very a good character to people.

Maybe Dad was right after all.

Eventful

Is the one word I'd used to describe the past week and the next 2 weeks to come.

The above photo was just so coincidentally red and green, port starboard with a line down the centre. Balance? Maybe.

Have a great Monday people! :)

I am still listening to Leona's I Got You...

Good Morning

Still listening to Leona's I Got You. It has a weird effect on me, some people just won't get it I guess.

Anyway. Went for bf with the daddy. Came home and was combing doggie's hair before his shower. He needs to use Johnson and Johnson's de-tangling shampoo me thinks.

The parent's had one of the most civil conversations while I was busy with doggie.

Mom: Ai and myself will be going to China on Thursday...

Dad: Where in China??

Mom: Guilin

Dad: And whereabouts is that??

*waits for it*

Mom: Somewhere in China.

LOL

I Got You

While driving on my way home from dinner, this was playing on the radio. And I freaking love car stereos because it sounded more awesome then than now but whatever.

I actually am not sure what I feel right now.

Maybe, just maybe, it's...

Emo.

I Try Not To Be, But I Am Judgmental For The Most Of It

I can't help it. I was just thinking to myself yesterday how I tend to come across as a nice person, in general, for the most of it at least, apart from being a little too fierce and abusive sometimes. And how I try to not judge people.

Maybe it is this false front of mine that makes people go weak at their knees. Okay I did not just say that. Scrap it all.

Anyway, I was saying. Yup. Uhuh. I was doing my usual blog hopping while waiting for my hair to dry. It really amuses me how my short hair takes longer to dry then when it was longer. Or maybe it's just me and my self fulfilling prophecy.

Okay, I keep getting side tracked today. Focus!!

I was saying... Yes, I was blog hopping and in me trying not to be judgmental:

I found it hilarious to read how emo that someone can be at times because it just never fitted my perception of that person and the more I read, the more I realize how highly emo that person is. Moving on to person two, how is it that people enjoy talking about their high life so much that it just comes across as fake?

End of judgment. I really shouldn't judge. Neither should you.

I just got home from X-Men: First Class with the ex-colleague. Vball and frisbee tomorrow, China next week, and Thailand the following week. Let's all say "Yeehaaa"!

Why am I so tired when I barely did anything today!

Good Dilemma(s)

This is what happens when you've got one too many tempting options to work on.

Cherating or Pattaya Cherating or Pattaya Cherating or Pattaya??

Is just one example.

Good morning btw.

Had my hair cut yesterday. Mommy said I look like a call girl, don't think she meant that in a good way. :(

Went rock climbing with Becky and Yvonne, hard core stuff, lucky I could still brush my teeth this morning. But it was fun for sure!

Had A&W rootbeer afterwards. :)

Followed by some quality coffee time at Starbucks - latte and blueberry cream cheese muffin to end the night.

I think I brunt my tongue though, painnn.

The Only Way To Really Know Is To Really Let Go

Wheeeeeeeeeeeee! It's the second day of unemployment; and I am absolutely enjoying my new found freedom. Dad said I am now a lady of leisure..

Rock climbing tomorrow, nicely manicured nails say good bye. Hair cut tomorrow too!

Let's see. Word cloud. Green Tea Latte. Kung Fu Panda 2. Dinner. Sunway Giza. Jam. Wan Tan Mee. Coffee. Aches. Dramabeans. Girlfriend(s).

Belated thanks but thanks still.

Life is good...

One Will Always Find A Right In The Wrong And A Wrong In The Right

Or that may just very well be my own twisted logic. But it's up to you to believe really.

I am officially back to being a bum. Yes, I am unemployed. It's a debate whether I resigned or I was fired. I reckon it's a bit of both.

Maybe more accurately: I resigned and the company was agreeable to it. That has to be the most diplomatically correct way to put it.

I don't particularly wish to entertain who, how, what, why's and when's but I guess people ask only because they are curious concerned. Simply put, we identified the problems, troubleshooted, concluded that it wasn't quite the right fit and I left on good terms. Happy days!

Now, 10 points for whoever who can guess what is the first thing I did when I got home. I'll make your life easier, multiple choice:

a) Cuddle up in bed and slept

b) Read drama recaps

c) Painted my nails black

d) Cooked myself a meal

Muahahaha. Don't worry, getting the wrong or right answer doesn't make you any more or less significant. :))

Capoeira killed me last night. It was a fantastic work out but my poor blistered soles. T___T Water bubbles. The last time I had blistered feet was in Disneyland in Anaheim. For wearing stockings and shoes and walking for hours.

I've got a pretty busy week ahead. To my own defense, I didn't plan my activities in advance knowing that I was going to quit, I didn't.

But let's see, meeting Becky and co tonight, Yvonne for dinner tomorrow, Sharon for lunch and tea, probably getting some vball action in this week too, sailing over the weekend might be the case, lunch or dinner with the ex-colleague sometime on Thursday or Friday, potential hair trim too, wow! I am excited!

My comp is acting wonky. Hm.

Have you watched Don't Go Breaking My Heart?? Have you watched it?? If you haven't, here's the link to the trailer and plot summary...

Oh boy, good show. Right up till the end. Who will she pick? Intense.

So are you a Louis Koo or a Daniel Wu?

You Did Not Read This

Is it even humanly possible to feel so much pain yet at the same time feel absolute numbness?

You did not read this.

It Was A Pleasant Weekend

Will not be greedy and ask for more.

Back to work tomorrow.

Aja aja fighting!

Green tea after the Big Mac and Coke Light after sailing to detox .

One Of Those Days

Those off balance kind of day.

It's like, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say. Not that it's bad though.

So I'll just blabber on. If I don't make sense, I forgive myself.

Bought new lip balmie yesterday from AA. Nivea Pink Guava. It's shimmery with SPF10. Whee!

I. Am. Aching. Meh. So unfit I need to do something about this.

Found a box of Harrods English Breakfast Tea from Mom's tea stash. It's mine now! I like my tea with milk.

I want to go for a holiday. A beach holiday. Real badly.

Girls, IPL works. It really does!

Sometimes I really wonder how did I end up with so many things in my room?

Stayed up last night to watch City Hunter. Hahaha.

No More Pop Quizzes

Today I can say, I had a good day! :))

Pop Quiz #10

Ohaio! Woke up and decided to treat myself to bf this morning. Was a wee bit reluctant to get out of bed though but somehow got my ass over to Starbucks.

Today I Could Not Settle On A Title

Today. All things are P&C. Only for myself to know. But how? I am afraid I might drown.

First day of being 23.

23

Just a quickie.

Yes, I put a lot of emphasis on the 5th of June. It is my favorite day of the year / the day I look forward to every year!

Those who came yesterday for the surprise, thank you! Those who couldn't make it, thanks too. Those who sent in texts / emails, thanks too.

It's a quieter birthday this year no doubt, because I am growing up and becoming an adult I even took off my birthday date from Facebook and am now on a count of 2 birthday wall posts so far I think I should be more matured and I am telling myself to do what matters and stop playing around; as in, focus on what matters the most.

Anyway. It's my birthday today.

Happy Birthday Ai Li Ng!

You Know Exactly What You Want and How To Get It

That's not true; at least not for me. It may seem like it, but I am definitely not very sure of most things happening around me.

There.

BUT, from today on, I LOVE MY JOB [full stop].

Say otherwise and you will be struck by lightning.

Thank God It's Friday! :))

Good Things Happen To Good People

Haha. FYI, I do track my readership. Not as in who reads per say lah, but as in which country reads most; page-views by countries.

And everywhere YOU go, readership in that country picks up. Well, not that I don't know YOU've been reading.

Though, 5 readers from Belarus? Where in the world is that! *click* Oh..

Sometimes, out of curiosity, I really do wonder who my readers are. I mean, while I say I don't write to get attention but share my thoughts instead, let's be honest, you reading what I write means I am getting your attention. Fair statement right?

And I am guessing that applies to most people who write anyway. To gain the attention of others, whether we like to admit it or not. Why bother penning your thoughts down on a public domain otherwise?

I just got a call, sponsored flight to go sailing for a weekend... What's there not to like hey! :))

And I am still stuffed from dinner, too lazy to move now. Thank you for dinner.

I am sleepy. I am turning 23 in 3 days. I have yet to clear my make up and shower. I need to work on improving my posture. I did drink more H20 today!

Tomorrow is Friday. :D

OH M GEE!

It. Cannot. Get. Any. Freakier.

So we don't only get mistaken for looking alike. Now, we even think alike too? Now that's just taking it to a whole new level...

Serendipity = Happy Accident ?? Lol, anyway.

On my commute home from work earlier, I saw a guy (with an extremely huge beer belly btw) wearing a shirt with a drawing of a Hobie, with the sail number SIN 862.

And then the song playing on my phone was David Archuleta's Touch My Hand.

Ironic, the one word I would use to describe the whole thing. The good thing is though, I smiled, means I felt happy lah right.

I think know I am making it difficult for the people wanting to help me celebrate my birthday this year, sorry in advance! I can't help being fickle, I am bipolar! But in whatever case, know that I appreciate all the effort and thought. <3

On a brighter note, I had bagel with cream cheese spread for bf this morning! :)) On top of loving the taste and texture of bagels, they now remind me of (or I associate them with) only good things; being in the States with the brothers, and the awesome brunch spread at Daddy & Mommy Pug's home in BKK.

First solo meeting tmr! Wish me luck!

Now that I think about it, I didn't drink any water today. I had coffee with my bagel, coffee when I got into the office, Horlicks for lunch, okay, I did have 2 gulps of water I reckon in the middle somewhere, then coffee for dinner. Wow Ai Li Ng, you're a rockstar in all the wrong areas. T__T

Note to self, definitely more H20 tmr...
