  • Its been too fast, too much and the current’s too overpowering. Not that I don’t have a choice, but it may very well be a special place. Some place I’ve never seen or been before. Not all fun and games, and I know danger maybe lurking there. Something that may end up wounding me deeply, fatally. I might end up losing everything. But there’s no turning back. I can only go with the flow. Even if it means I’ll be burned up, gone forever.

  • updates!!!

    Yeay!!.. I'm finally finding the time to do this..
    Although it would be a summary rather than a full-blown, play-by-play account of what I've been up to the past month!

    1. The house's undergoing major reno and I had to move out, but I'm moving back in this Sunday! Can't waitttt!

    2. I was f*cked so bad at work, (even to the extent of having to hear my colleague described how his balls shrank), but still decide to stay on. But as luck has it, opportunity came knocking so I threw the letter and am now back doing what I think I am best at..

    3. I thought I fell deep, but realised its just a silly distraction and waste of time. So its in and out, but now.. I think I definitely am in.. LOVE! Haha! Finally admitting it is the first step I guess. But as always, it comes with complications. I don't know how long this will last, but we'll see..

    Yup. That's it for now! Back to work for me now. I'll catch up with the rest of you soon yea? *hugs*

  • agar agar powder



    The above apparently has been kept in the storeroom of my family home for the last 27 years. Like, wth. I don't even know what it was used for. It looked like a huge gun powder canister. If that's even what it looked like.  Thing is, when I wikipedia-ed the word agar, this is what it came out to:

    Agar or agar agar is a gelatinous substance derived from seaweed. Historically and in a modern context, it is chiefly used as an ingredient in desserts throughout Japan, but in the past century has found extensive use as a solid substrate to contain culture medium for microbiological work. The gelling agent is an unbranched polysaccharide obtained from the cell walls of some species of red algae, primarily from the genera Gelidium and Gracilaria, or seaweed (Sphaerococcus euchema). Commercially it is derived primarily from Gelidium amansii.

    Agar (agar agar) can be used as a laxative, a vegetarian gelatin substitute, a thickener for soups, in jellies, ice cream and Japanese desserts such as anmitsu, as a clarifying agent in brewing, and for paper sizing fabrics.

    Chemically, agar is a polymer made up of subunits of the sugar galactose. Agar polysaccharides serve as the primary structural support for the algae's cell walls.

    It just amazes me that I have 50kg of something that can be used as laxatives, but yet I've grown up to be just as constipated as I was when I was a baby.
    ...

    Well, the family's doing some major renovation for the next 6 weeks, so I'm oouuuttt..

  • You can’t blame me for not trying. I gave it a shot. I thought that I was ready. Those walls that I built, they just came down and that was when I felt it shouldn’t hurt to try and open up. I let him in, he held my hands, and I even entertained thoughts that maybe he’s really the one that I can be silent with.

    Right from the beginning, I told him that it was all good if we couldn’t make this work. After all I’m the cynical bitch when it comes to matters of the heart. But no, he was all ready to say that it felt right with me. That it must mean something.

    And then some things are unsaid. I pretend not to have heard and seen the whispers and looks exchanged. His best friend said enjoy it while it lasts. He himself didn’t realised when he said its fucking hard and he is already trying his best.

    ‘We’ shouldn’t be hard to do.

    But he had to start avoiding me, and giving excuses for his cold shoulder. That was when I knew. That I was just a different experience that he was seeking. He had finally came to a realisation. That I was not what he was looking for.. Not what he really wants.

    Just wished he could have given it straight up.

    Because honestly, him wanting to go back to being with other men is cool.

    I should have known better. To just continue being the cynical self that I am.

  • SG Xangans Night Out!


    .. Yes, yes. I know I have been guilty. Of not being much of a xangan these days. I haven't been hanging out here, and been missing out on all the drama that has been going around.. (is there any still!?)  But seeing as there’s only a handful of us here in Singapore, I was demanded to attend the first, ever inaugural meet-up!!

    The date was set on to be last Friday, May 15. The plan was to have a fantabulous spread of seafood dinner at Newton Hawker Centre, and then adjoin where tons loads of alcohol is in presence. 

    I didn't manage to make it for dinner, but went straight to where the drinking got started: Wine Bar, Zouk's pre-club and chill out bar. Thank god, they’ve only had one drink in hand, and didn’t take long for me to catch up! With the first two rounds of yagerbombs down and out, and keen to get the party raring, “7-up” and “Fast Food” was the Name of the Games! We had a crazy time with jugs of Long Island being passed round to the losers and when everyone was slightly buzzed with silliness, everyone’s arms got twisted to go round to Taboo! *wink*  

    *Since I didn't have my camera with me, the pictures are courtesy of the kind souls that have linked me up with theirs* Thanks babes ;)

    Here's to how crazy Xangans can be irregardless of where we are:

        

    Much love to Jean, Jill, Ernie, Debbie, Mae, and friends that came!!

  • this song has been getting to my head.

    "Nude"


    Don't get any big ideas
    They're not gonna happen

    You paint yourself white
    And fill up with noise
    But there'll be something missing

    Now that you've found it, it's gone
    Now that you feel it, you don't
    You've gone off the rails

    So don't get any big ideas
    They're not gonna happen

    You'll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking
