HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY SHEN!!!!!

Hey babe, cheerios to 16 years of friendship!

2007-08-01T12:18:00.000+08:00

i never imagine i'll be saying this but after looking back, im really thankful for the short "break"... can't imagine juggling everything with my flu/ fever/sore throat/ blah... having to settle my screwed up modules... shifting house... my grandpa etc. plus shen's down with the flu too! :( His timing is really perfect <3 I shall go get some rest!

This is soooooooooo cool. i received it via an email.
Are these items moving? Or are they perfectly still??

One teacher said, "I felt like they were all moving...but slowly. Kind of like, they were breathing."

The pictures attached are used to test the level of stress a person can handle. The slower the pictures move, the better your ability of handling stress. Alleged criminals that were tested see them spinning around madly; however, senior citizens and kids see them standing still.

None of these images are animated - they are perfectly still.

i guess it broke my heart watching them. Their last days on earth and they were separated by circumstances. It was a long awaited reunion. The reunion was good while it lasted. He was happy to see her. She was happy too, but her eyes revealed the sadness that was deep within her heart... I saw his smile, the deep satisfaction (as if one of his last wishes has been fulfilled) and i thought to myself... the hassle was worth it.

"Life is short. Our life is so small, so insignificant that it is easily distinguished. But the very same life is so powerful that, it can do so much, both to hurt and to heal. The choice to do either is in ur hands. so. what would u do?"- quoted by von.

In response to this, i sometimes wonder if i bother too much about everything. Its as if life isn't complicated enough. Life is trying. What happened to the simple pleasures of life? If life is so insignificant, why bother? Let's just get on with it. Perhaps i need to learn to let go and hold on to the important things. Sometimes, the things/ people which we thought we could find comfort in disappoint us. well, thank you Lord for your undying faithfulness. i am never too insignificant for you to notice.

Indeed i am blessed.

Life is too short and unpredictable for us to hold on to our grudges, anger and bitterness. Before we know it, the ones that we care for are gone even before we have had the opportunity to make things right.

I know that you will never get to read this post, but I pray that God's peace will be with you... that one day, you will experience the freedom that comes along with the joy of salvation.

I treasure the closer times we had together and I thank you for showering me with love... I will never forget. My only wish now is that you will know Jesus cos' that's where eternal life and happiness lies... waiting for you. <3

A WHOLE LOT OF RANDOMNESS.

♥ im bored. Bring me the money.
♥ i love my cg.
♥ Mark & i went sentosa on mon! It was fun! I used tanning oil and sat under the sun for an entire afternoon and i was ONE tone darker. He sat under the shade and he was red like a lobster, plus he got sunburned! *unfair!... hmphf!*
♥ A stoopid puppy bit me twice. I have a good mind to poison the stupid dog with cookies.
♥ Tuesday: Baked cookies and cheesecake before heading down to Siglap to meet the rest for kevin's birthday dinner. just in case you were wondering if the cookies were to poison the dog, they are not... its for my enjoyment!
♥ The picture Victor's been waiting for.... This was taken on the night we had our "Ahbooshiba" cg dinner. If you look carefully... u can see that the car is slanted slightly towards the left because Clarence was sitting on, yes... the left side. *lol* jokes. (psst.... use the pedestrain crossing line as reference).

If no one cared, how are we to survive?

MY VIRGIN TRIP TO THE MOVIES WITH SHEN & EUNYCE..... PRICELESS.

Review by GV: Jean, a shy waiter working in a grand hotel, is mistaken for a young millionaire by beautiful, scheming adventuress Irene (Irene is a woman that goes around hooking up rich men to supplement her luxurious lifestyle). When she discovers his lowly status, Irene beats a quick retreat. But love struck Jean has no intention of letting her escape, and pursues her to the Cote d'Azur. Quickly running out of money, he adopts his beloved's lifestyle, setting himself up as a gigolo and moving into a magnificent luxury hotel. Irene at last accepts this new Jean. She starts to give him advice, she grows closer and closer to him, not realising that love is working its subtle magic on her too.

I personally found the movie very enjoyable. It's a must for hopeless romatics. A very touching love story minus the fuddy-duddy love-is-in-the-air kind of romance.

Overall:
- clever plot
- simple but effective script
- gorgeous lead roles (Gad Elmaleh has gorgeous blue-grey teary eyes and Audrey Tautou is drop dead gorgeous!)
i'll give this movie a 4 out of 5.... *must watch :)

ps: shen went crazy looking at all the high fashion brands.

What Your Underwear Says About You

You've washed your underwear so many times, you don't know what color it used to be. You're comfortable in your own skin - and don't care to impress anyone.

The Underwear Oracle

SHEN... THESE 2 ARE FOR U.
TRY IT OUT! :)

You Are 45% Bitchy

Generally, you're an average woman, with average moods. But sometimes... well, watch out! Sometimes, you let your mean side get the better of you. And you enjoy every minute of it.

How Bitchy Are You?

Your Chances of Being a Multimillionaire: 16%

Your chances of being a multimillionaire are low, but you don't really care. You enjoy living a fun, laid back life. And hard work definitely isn't for you!

Will You Be a Multimillionaire?

nooooo... you gotta be joking :(

THE SECRET LIFE OF GUMMY BEARS

It’s no secret that I have an innate and unflinching affinity for anything sugar. But in all of my years as a cultivated candy connoisseur, I’ve never considered the mayhem that can be bred from a seemingly innocent mix of gelatin and water placed to process in bear-shaped molds. But the evidence is everywhere, as unearthed by brave and diligent reporters:

In retrospect, we should have seen this coming. Think about it: How many times have you torn off one of their heads and glued them back together –- sometimes on their kin?

Since we don't know how many gummy bears have actually been released into the world, there’s just one immediate solution: Eat them –- as many and as fast as humanly possible. It’s not too late.

WHICH SMART ASS can solve this primary 6 qn WITHOUT using algebra?
Email me at sw_orion@yahoo.com.

Rick has some $10 phonecards and $25 phonecards. the number of $10phonecards is 1.5 times as much as $25 phonecards.He sold 1/3 of $10phonecards. the remaining value become $4200. what is the number of $10 phonecard sold?

The answer is 60.

THE INGENIOUS SOLUTION BY ANDREW CHAN...my pri 1 classmate. i have to say that i am impressed.

There are 1.5 times the number of 10 dollar notes, and u sell one third of them, so there are now exactly 1.0 times the number of phonecards.
So for every $10 phonecard there is a $25 dollar phonecard
4200 / (10+25) = 120
There are 120 $10 phonecards now, and 120 $25 phonecards now

120 remaining $10 phonecards, therefore he must have sold 60
2/3 - 120
1/3 - 60

COOKING FRIED RICE: Basic 101- in 4 simple steps

For the blind bats out there...

Step 1: Decide whether to use the wok or the smaller pan.
Answer? Use neither. Use Tefal non stick pan when frying for only 2 people.

...In the mean time, avoid leaving your camera with your bestie cos she's obsessed with taking photos with wooden stirrers.

Step 2: When in doubt, always call for help!
This is better than burning down the kitchen.

Step 3: Leave the cooking to those with experience.

Step 4: Claim credit for the finished product.

*ps: Shen rae & I almost died laughing!

Milestone
its amazing how one can experience so many emotions in a day...

Thrilled/ Happy/ Anxious
Today marks the day i finally drove alone. Mark was my GPS system... a good one :) phew. so we travelled around the east, beat heavy traffic, squeeze through narrow lanes and venture to the unfamiliar. i actually thought that we might do well if we join the Amazing Race! Haha.. jokes. But like what Uncle Ben said... "With great power comes great responsibility"... i had like millions of errands to run :( Exchange the modem, send some shirt samples, pick my mum up from work, pick up clothes from my granny's, blah blah blah blah.... It's no wonder i felt exhausted after one whole day of driving. Thank God for auto cars!

2007-05-12T00:31:00.000+08:00

im in a "posting" mood today! Anyways, my long awaited miniature watermelon flavor chupa chups handphone chain finally arrived today! im thrilled... When i told Mark about it, he said... "don't eat so much sweet things lar..." *lolz* i mean his comment is sooo cute right? (That's my dear...) Seriously, who would order a chupa chups lollipop online and wait for it to be mailed to them? ... Hahs. *due to shen's blur-ness, i would like to clarify that it is not a lollipop but a handphone chain... can't be eaten!

2007-05-12T00:14:00.000+08:00

Me & my BIG MOUTH
Mark & i went to the hawker center at Parkway for dinner tonight. It was crowded so we shared table with another couple. There were two cute dogs tied to a lamp post nearby and i was admiring them. i was telling Mark how adorable they are.. then i said LOUDLY... "I think they have no owners... lets bring them home." The next minute, the couple sitting opposite us stood up and walked towards to dogs and untied them. i just sat there speechless... and embarrassed.

She's ever so funny and entertaining. what she does never fails to amuse you. Like it was her idea that we go Cathy at 1130am to queue for free Ben & Jerry cones. Yet when we reached, she didn't wanna be first in line in order to save face. *sigh* "my life would be boring with you" Haha...
