i'm a girl who's been blessed with a beautiful family
i'm a girl who's been doubly blessed with beautiful friends
i'm inherently me, flaws and all
but to the people who have come into my life at one point or another
who have given so much of themselves
there is no one more precious to me

pics and such
thanks for the little prod in the right direction babe but help.... been trying for months to put up pics on this silly blog but, as u can see, i've failed miserably... might have to resort to using flickr but i don't really like the idea of having ANOTHER account online. plus, it's really troublesome for other ppl to keep being directed to another site, another window just to view pics... BUT 'hello' isn't user-friendly enough for lazy, IT-illiterate ol' me... *complain complain* :) but i will definitely be putting up some pics... er... soon....
a week and a bit into the new job and it's coming along pretty alright... no super-glam-fabulous events to attend yet but it definitely can't all be a bed of roses..! my only huge complaint is that i've definitely got less (or rather, NO) time for catching up with everyone who's back from the States, the UK and Aussieland. not that i had a lot of time in previous years to begin with... but now, with me giving tuition as well as working fulltime (and acting on the side) my schedule is pretty much pushed to the max... but i'm definitely missing everyone who's left this sunny isle so please give me a call when u get back! we might not be able to meet up, but we can have a nice chat at least... :)
been considering moving out of my parents' place for a couple of weeks now... i suppose it's always been my nature to try and break out of the boundaries set... fight for my freedom and independence, so to speak. now that i'm financially independent, it's easier for me to make an informed decision on my own... weighing the pros and cons of staying out and what not... it's quite a complicated process, all these factors and all these peoples' feelings to take into consideration... guess in the end, as my parents have so generously put it, it is ultimately my decision because it wld affect me the most.

bored at work
2 days into my job and i've already got deadlines.. can u imagine?!!! :P but i suppose it's what they're paying me for... to actually do some work.. haha
been reading friends' blogs and trying to keep up to date with everyone's lives in my free time... came across this personality test on fuzz's site and decided to do it out of sheer boredom (and innate curiousity of course..!)... after all, i am slighty narcisistic! only slighty.... heh
You are a XPIG--Expressive Practical Intellectual Giver. This makes you a Catch.You are a magazine-cover, matinee idol dreamboat. Parents love you and want to set you up with their kids. However, first dates are tough because it takes time for your qualities to come out. You are generous and kind. You think first and act later. You are cool in a conflict, but your practical side means if your partner throws out emotional appeals ("why can't we do what I want for a change?") they will grate on your nerves, even when the conflict is resolved. You're a romantic. You enjoy the thrill of the hunt, and you don't just fall into bed with anyone. You pay close attention to your significant other's needs, and this makes you an excellent lover and partner. The problem is that your friends and lovers may find it so easy to express things to *you* that they lose sight of whether you feel as comfortable with *them*! This doesn't necessarily make you feel under-appreciated -- you're too well-adjusted and self-aware for that -- but you may feel restless. Thus you seek adventure in your life outside the relationship to prove and actualize yourself. Of all the types, you would make the best parent. You are coiffed. Didja see "Big Fish"? 'Cause you're like Ewan MacGregor in "Big Fish." Of the 235155 people who have taken this quiz, 9.3 % are this type.
I'm an X PIG?????? Too well-adjusted and self-aware to not feel under-appreciated?? yeah riiight... u can appreciate me anytime, and u'd better!!!

it's been a long time coming
alrighty, i know, i know, it's been freaking ages since i last updated... everyone's asking me why i bothered to change my skin without bothering to update my posts... haha... typical lazy ol' me.. actually, i've been kinda busy......
did quite a few acting jobs for mediacorp over the last month including a cameo on a ch8 variety show (101 shopping) with patricia mok and bryan wong... both of whom were pretty friendly and completely natural with each other. and i did a pilot for ch5 in a new docu-drama series called tabloidTV but i have no idea when it's going to be aired if at all... anyways, doesn't bother me as long as i see the money i've been promised... :) but i guess the highlight of my acting stint has to be the 2-day shoot i did for MTV... it's an advert for their annual (or is it bi-annual?) VJ hunt and it's to be aired in Malaysia soon i think (just imagine the exposure!)... but i don't suppose i'll get to see it so if anyone manages to catch it, please let me know!!
for those of u wondering whether i've decided to do another year of school, well... i'm not! i've decided to break out from the drudgery of student life and start making some big bucks! heh.. well i'm not making that much money yet but i will, eventually... haha.. i'm working for a PR firm that's based in Singapore called Ubersprint and i'm actually having fun and learning stuff too!! this might be the case only cuz i've just started there and perhaps i'll see a huge pileup of work in the next month.. but til that time (if and when it arrives), i'm going to enjoy myself thoroughly.... :) [by the time some of u read this, i might have already become some complainsome bitch so pls excuse the blatant naiveity of that last statement]
anyways, guess that's all the update from me now... apart from the fact that i miss staying on my own (in hall) and the freedom that came with that, i'm moderately pleased with life at the moment. mom's in scotland/england, dad's in shanghai and i'm in bliss....
we are one-winged angels
learning to fly
with balance of moments
in bright blue sky
will our wings eventual
sprout out to flee
when minds are unabashed
spread wide and free
why hearts abound spin
and stars do burn
whether sand doth slip
to fathoms churn
which is heaven on earth
gives soul to birth
where lays upon the hearth
our loud jarring mirth
