Caffeine. Boon or Bane? [Oct. 20th, 2011|02:36 am]
[Tags|, ]
[Current Mood |bouncybouncy]

I've never been an avid drinker of coffee. Didnt like the aftertaste and the coffee breath that comes alongside the much-loved beverage. But with the recent opening of Starbucks at Utown@NUS, I find myself frequently settling down for a long mugging session with a cup of joe. 

And guess what? It ain't that bad afterall! It certainly keeps me up and prevents me from dozing off while reading boring boring lecture notes.

I'm currently doing this module on cybercrime and while it sounds all investigative and exciting (cue Pink Panther music), it really isn't. It's probably the only way you can use "child pornography" and "boring" in the same sentence. Yes, it is THAT boring. 

Went mugging with Bai today and became very much conked out by midnight.



Nothing like a good ole' caffeine rush to give you that glow in pictures. Awesome. 

One more month to exams. How many more cups of coffee do you think I can drink? I'll start counting. 
1... 2... 4... 6... 8... 11... buzzz... 16... 21... buzzzzz... 24... "why are my hands shaking non-stop"... 26... "do you hear the irritating ringing too?" *swats ears

Hmmm... I'm ordering a raspberry black current frappe the next time.

Nail design i did for momsie this week

Loving the whimsical combination of polka dots and feminine roses. :)


OK. Bed. Now. Bye.

Dance [Feb. 26th, 2010|01:47 pm]
[Tags|]
[Current Mood |indifferentindifferent]

EMCC is finally over. Loads of mixed feelings about it i guess. On one hand, major relief now that practice sessions per week is reduced drastically by more than half. On the other, its over. Nuff said. Learnt alot throughout the 1 plus months. Been a really hectic period of time. What with EMCC concert and Dance Uncensored 2010 looming, I had been subscribing to the part time student, full time dancer mode. And again, i feel my passion for dance slowing ebbing away. It happened in TP and now its happening again and it seems as if the harder i try to hold on to it, the harder i try to convince myself that this is where i belong, where i want to be, the further and further i get blown away. I keep thinking of the old crowd in TPDE, the people in Blast now and their forever burning passion for dance and i wonder really. Where did i go wrong. I thought i was one of them. i USED to be one of them. Why do i feel tired and sick of the routines, feel annoyed and angry w myself for subjecting myself to it again and again. Rarrh.

But then again, i feel the excitement, the fluttering of butterflies in my stomach and the thrill of performing everytime im on stage. I feel the tears, the joy and the overwhelming sense of love for the stage during curtain calls. I feel the incessant pull to keep performing, to keep dancing, to keep practicing. And i kinda just know that even if I have those foul vile thoughts about dance, I always will keep dancing, just to be on the stage, just to perform. Oxymoronic i know. 

 my thoughts are dwindling. Just reread what i typed and didnt really understand it. Have a sudden urge to delete all. But i shant. hahaha im messed up man.

6 weeks count down to Dance Uncensored. Time to kick it to high gear again. Time to sacrifice all else and..  Practice Practice Practice. its like a neverending cycle. Learn routine. perfect feel, add emotions, do blocking, clean up steps, run repeatedly. And repeat.

(: Awesome.

Tattoos [Feb. 3rd, 2010|01:36 am]
[Tags|]
[Current Mood |Gian]

Jessie got me thinking about tattoos again. Been like a year plus since I got mine.

   

And i seriously never looked back and never regretted. (:

Its a red and black nautical star. Nautical stars are used in the past by sailors to find their way home when they're out on sea.
Its my direction home. (:
 

i love love love it.

The saying that tattoos are addictive does have an ounce of truth in it. I want another!
maybe a celtic knotted heart (symbolised the strength of heart and will)

I know none you peeps out there except maybe Jess will agree and understand the strong compell to ink but.. its okay
Tattoos are very personal. Its a very instinctive and innate choice. (: I sought no one by my own approval.

(:

For people thinking about inking (oo rhymes)
I think you really should be sure that you will not regret it. and be ascertained that no one in the world can make you regret it.
You're ready when you are.

Think before you ink! (:
tattoo palours should have posters like that!

here ends my rather random post.
Still keeping to my blogging more often mantra!

p/s: i want a Victoria Secret Black Weekender bag and Bumpits!

I know I dont update! But prolly thats cuz im kinda suffering from a hiatus in life. Days are routine and nights are recursive. Stuck in a rut and desperately seeking a way out. But for all my concerned friends who always threaten to boycott my poor-excuse-for-a-blog blog, here's an entry!

MY LIFE NOW IN 10 SENTENCES

1. Dance is killing me (I have 9 practices every week)

2. School is fun! (I love the mods im doing this sem)

3. I have an unhealthy addiction to my job and the kids there (my maternal instincts are raving nuts. They keep popping up and shouting "Howdy!")

4. I miss normal friends like crazy. (tts outside hall friends. You know who you are)

5. Im turning the big 21 soon and I have no idea what to do yet

6. Im incredibly broke recently

7. I have frequent cravings for different foods nowadays

8. I have to bare my midriff for an upcoming concert (internal conflict between point 7 and 8)

9. I have recurring dreams about moving to the village and growing crops with a blurry man

10. I am weirdly hooked on facebook's Sorority Life game.

TADAH!

i'd rather. [Nov. 12th, 2009|03:25 am]
[Tags|]

This is a really nice and sweet song.. kinda in love with it now. (: guys should dedicate this to their girls. like really.


I'd Rather -- Luther Vandross
I thought sometime alone
was what we really needed
you said this time would hurt more than it helps
but I couldn't see that
I thought it was the end
of a beautiful story
and so I left the one I loved at home to be alone (alone)
and I tried to find
out if this one thing is true
that I'm nothing without you
I know better now
and I've had a change of heart

I'd rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else
I'd rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself
I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
whoo-oo-oo-oo yeah

And then I met someone
and thought she could replace you
we got a long just fine
we wasted time because she was not you
we had a lot of fun
though we knew we were faking
love was not impressed with our connection they were all lies, all lies
so I'm here cause I found this one thing is true
that I'm nothing without you
I know better now
and I've had a change of heart

I'd rather have bad times with you, than good times with someone else
I'd rather be beside you in a storm, than safe and warm by myself
I'd rather have hard times together, than to have it easy apart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart
who holds my heart

I can't blame you if you turn away from me, like I've done you,
I can only prove the things I say with time,
please be mine,

I'd rather have bad times with (please be mine) you,
than good times with someone else (I know)
I'd rather be beside you in a storm (anytime),
than safe and warm by myself (so sure baby)
I'd rather have hard times to gether,
than to have it easy apart
I'd rather have the one who holds my heart (my heart)


 

Thats how it should be.

smirking tutors and frustrating concepts [Oct. 14th, 2009|11:50 am]
[Tags|, ]
[Current Mood |confusedconfused]

just had this really frustrating philo tutorial. The tutor was smirking and totally enjoying himself because the entire class could not debunk this rather ridiculous theory he posted to us.

Theory: we are all recollectionists. In all of our bodies, there is a soul. This soul is ALL knowing. It possesses the knowledge of everything and anything in the world. Going by this predeposition then is the fact that we never really learn anything new. Each time we acquire knowledge, it is attributed to the fact that the soul is recalling something it already knows of. The learning curve of people then refers to how fast or slow the soul recalls something.

This theory by itself is absurb and ridiculous sounding. Yet, as the tutor proudly exclaimed, Philo concepts stand so long no one can debunk it logically or find the inconsistent loopholes in it that render the argument invalid and null. and and and........ WE COULDNT DEBUNK IT!

i said something along the lines of how if the soul is really all knowing, there wouldnt ensue the struggle in defining moral rights or wrong. There would be a clear cut manner to understand ethics, to know what is right and what is wrong, what is holiness, justice etc. There would be a solution for Euthyphro's problem of whether to prosecute his own father for murder. Yet, there isnt. Such development of ideology and concepts of right and wrong has to do with the environment and interaction with society and is an ultimately learned process.

Tutor smile and said: Goood but my answer to that is different people have different answers on ethics and moral rights. Some souls remembered correctly. and some souls remembered wrongly. simple as that. *smirks

i said something like that the soul wouldnt know something that he doesnt know (like u wont know that u dont know theres a law about quantum mechanics if you dont know it). the assumption of all-knowing is unbased etc etc

tutor smiles and said: believe the assumption. HE IS ALL KNOWING *smirks

and the tutorial went on and on and on for hrs in this thread.

ended with the tutor saying:
Since all of you clearly cannot debunk the theory of recollectionism, you are all subscribers to the theory. Have fun recollecting in the rest of your lectures this week  *smirks and leaves room

like.. ARGHHHH!

overwhelmed [Sep. 18th, 2009|05:58 pm]
[Tags|, , , ]
[Current Mood |draineddrained]


I know i know i dont update enough. Strangely though, i have this compelling need in me to sit down and organize my thought into coherent sentences today. So.. here I am. (:

im into my 6th week of school already. Things are getting hectic and i find myself trying to catch my breath, trying not to trip, trying hard to catch up, trying not to go too fast, trying to maintain perspective, trying to maintain an ounce of myself, trying to fit in, trying not to fit in too much, trying to keep links with outside friends, trying to make time for myself. Trying trying trying all the time.

Everyone's asking me how's uni life? how's living in hall? To date i still dont really have an answer. i guess im just overwhelmed. Overwhelmed by the need to adapt fast and by the need to not change too much. Its quite a dilemma i think.

Shalt take a moment to reflect. The past 2 months of my life had seemed like eternity.

The Good:
Kent Ridge Hall really feels like a home away from home to me now. My room's pretty and decorated, my bed comfy and the accessibility to school reduces my crankiness level by almost 99%. I have wonderful neighbours, great friends and really sweet people in my block that made uni so much more enjoyable. I got into KR dance and NUS dance blast and realised just how much i miss dancing in a studio and working up a sweat with friends. School structure is starting to make sense. I finally understand how to write a philosophy essay thanks to Ivan and Brian. My nights are spent if not studying, chatting with the night gang of neh,wl,mel,andrew,william etc etc. I havent lost my starbucks bottle yet. I completed my week 6, had a test, finished a project report and handed up a individual assignment without feeling like shit. I have a new crush. (:

The Bad:
I miss fyl, i miss sherlynn elizabeth charlotte lee, i miss boys and girls gang, i miss weeminyu, i miss jean and foong and the rest, i miss all the people that ive been neglecting due to school. hall life really takes up everything in you. your outside social circle, your studies, your sleep, your relationship etc and the problem underlying it is that while you're highly annoyed it does that, you cant help but enjoy hall life so much still that you allow the gradual taking over to happen. I cannot count the number of nights i sit down in my room to start on a reading only to be called for block meeting, supper, game night, emo chit chatting, drinking sessions and all. I need to seriously prioritize properly. school was killing me. though im starting now to make sense of it all, it still overwhelms me. on the scale of 1 to 10, poly is like a 3. and uni a 8 or 9. This is especially apparent in arts where you are expected to have strong views on anything and everything that happens and excellent skills to coherently express your views on paper. Finding myself slipping from time to time. Much as i hate to acknowledge it, maybe its really because of the poly education. Like minyu had said. arts is a very JC subject, people come to arts from arts stream in JC, well equipped with skills to write history, geog and lit essays. Im not. but im trying. and if im gonna go down, im gonna go down fighting hahha
miss my family and miss good food.. :(
 
again.. im bored of writing. haha i needa learn how to post short posts. shalt upload some pictures soon. haha but then again.. are you sure you wanna trust me?
 
havent slept properly in 2 days. really really sick now..

nostalgia hits. [Apr. 11th, 2009|01:09 am]
[Tags|, ]
[Current Mood |nostalgicnostalgic]

i realised i miss osip in sanya, china really alot. The people, the hotel, generally just the whole vibe. There was little or no stress. after your shift at work ends and you change out of your uniform in the locker room, you exchange a few cursory words with the naked colleagues of yours at the sink and you walk out of the locker room totally free. No need to think about what happened at work that day, no need to thnk about what's gonna happen the next day. When you punch out, you're you again. The days in Sanya just pass swiftly. so much so that towards the end i had this indescribable feeling. like i was trying to hold on to the time and i can literally feel it slipping through my fingers like sand. the harder you try to hold on, the faster it slips through. now that im back, i often find myself trying to hold on to the feeling i had in Sanya, the freedom, the simplicity of life and the luxurious pace of life. 2 weeks after we returned i was with lee and she mentioned how she feels like the memories in sanya seems to be getting blurrier. its kinda frayed around the edges. you remember how it was, how the outings are but you're losing touch with how it made you feel. and that sucks. was reading monica's blog just now and lookin through the entries she wrote whilst in Sanya Gloria, all the pictures and the description of her work day etc etc.. brought back a huge pang of nostalgia.

i miss the place. honestly sincerely and wholeheartedly. i miss waking up at ungodly hour of 5 to catch 6.15shuttle bus to work in the freezin weather, i miss the weird food and the nice chefs doling them out, i miss the crazy banter of my roomies in 603 in the middle of the night, i miss the pompous but very nice and cute assistant manager of FO, i miss going to the supermarket and stockin on food and pointing out everything that singapore has too (ooo! pringles! oooo! oreos!) i miss going to the beach facing the chilling wind, i miss working and listening to the philipine band and ania who always dedicates a song to me when im workin, i miss the locker room and all the teasing and screaming that happens inside it. i miss housekeeping and the crazy dash to wash toilets and make beds in our mini competitions. i miss trying to skive off housekeeping. i miss english classes with the locals. i miss pulling pints at the beach bar, chatting and working and laughin under the sun. i miss the banquet times, following lanjie around doing laundry. i miss sherlynn lee waking me up everymornin screechin, i miss the repetitive friends marathon and  bitchy hk dramas in the room. i miss shoppin at night market and di yi shi chang, i miss the funny neoprint machines they have. i miss jiao zi and how cheap it is there. i miss the small bbq stall beneath our hostel that provided many comforting suppers and drinking session venues. i miss the coconut-rasin-barely thingy that is an nteresting dessert there.i miss eating BT la (biantai la) chicken wings and tearing at the streetsides. i miss $5 hour long full body massages. i miss cheap taxi and even mre so the tuttuts. i miss crazy crazy yuxiang and his sidekick wangyawei and how they took care of me, i miss running to the S&R room to slack between work. i miss the sausages at Atruim Cafe breakfast buffet. i miss the comfy big white hideous gloria jackets. i even miss the leery chefs from sampan restaurant. i miss the weird dance moves from the jap restaurant manager, i miss the stupid fish theraphy fish in S&R. i miss the feelin of knwoing everyone and being on first name basis with everyone in the hotel. i miss miss miss miss miss the place so so so so so much..

the new batch of singaporeans are there.. i dunno if they're fitting in, adapting well. but i hope so.. if any of u happens to read this.. (highly unlikely since china bans LJ) treasure ur time there.. while it seems like the 1st few months are agonizingly slow, the last few catches up at a terribly fast speed. hold on to all the memories you make. youre gonna miss the place.. like.. really.

tt concludes my very long, no paragraphing and very difficult to read entry (:
ahhhhh
feelin so much better (:

Public Transport [Mar. 21st, 2009|08:38 pm]

Anyone who even remotely knows me know the fact that i kinda have a thing about public transport. I hate to wait for buses, trains, hate the long walk from ma house to bus stops or train stations, hate the need to succumb to weather considerations and hate having to stare at strangers while being seated in awkward rows on the various transport mediums
 
hence.. its kinda neccessary for me to have my ammunition.
The various entertainment devices to use for these hair-wrenching train/bus rides

These are mine (:
                                                                     

My chick lit/emo romance novel for the day
My beloved ipod for my How I Met Your Mother, Big Bang Theory and Whose Line is it Anyway episodes
My PSP for SIMS, Sonic Racer, Juice Games
and my phone (: for you know (:

i realise at almost any time, at least 3 will be in my bag. 4 if you count pretending to fall asleep. Im really fiercely dependent on them.

so it was interesting that day to note how other people cope with this really weird awkward forced social situation called riding the MRT
i was on this long train ride to Orchard for berries training. t'was peak period. in my cabin i counted 31 people.

among which only 5 were not using any ammunition!
thats like about 15%!!!
These people we shall call the Vulnerables.

The other 26 (31-5=26) were all using all the various ipods, fiddling with iphones, readin books, newspapers, magazines, chatting on the phone, doing sudoku puzzles, chatting with friends, playing PSP, playing DS lite, reading important looking documents etc etc..

i was of course listening to music on my ipod, reading training notes and smsing (:
see!

but it just strikes me tt many many pple are like me! (: (: (: 

(i did have a point when i set out to write this blog entry. but i lost it halfway through)

...

ANYWAY...

oh! this chick next to me, was reading a really thick book about Anger Management.
and i started to think about how there are just some books with titles u dont read in public.
 
here's a few:
(some contributions from Minyu)

- Different Ways to Commit Suicide
- The Dummies Guide to Enlarging Boobs (Step 1, Massage, Step 2, Lift etc)
- Pleasing Him (esp if u're a dude)
- Karma Sutra for the Elderly (oh man)
- Sucking Up to the Bosses
- How to Please your Mother-in-Law
-  Idiots' Guide to Making A Voodoo Doll
- Cleo/Female's Whipped Cream Fantasy Article or How to obtain the Big O article
- How to Stab your Professor then Jump Down the Building


(:

p/s: now i know why people wrap their books with plain coloured book covers.
Embarassing titles.
Hor jess..

(:

i thank god for these people that i LOVE.

  

 
Had a CNY gathering (sorta) at Jasmine's place yesterday. A boys and girls outing without the boys. and Jaslyn (if you're looking, get elmo socks from Jas!) Had great fun as usual lazing around in Jasmine's newly decorated room. Spent most of the time lamenting on the fact that we are getting older.

Here's why..

Our activities in the past: Play Wii and shriek excitely at racing bunnies
Our activities NOW: sit around and talk about the times when we used to play wii and shriek excitedly at racing bunnies

Our choice of drinks in the past: Milo Dinosaurs and Coke/other childish soft drinks
Our choice of drinks NOW: Inniskillin 2004, ice wine from Canada

Our choice of tidbits in the past: Kinder Breuno
Our choice of tidbits NOW: beautifully wrapped extravagent Japanese snacks (gratitudes to Jasmine's generosity)

Our conversation topic on guys in the past: "i think i can see us getting married and living happily forever"
Our coversation topic on guys NOW: "Sighs.. we're too old to be thinking about happily ever after. he just needs to be there for me."

LOL


 
   


LOL (:
thank you girls for always being here, for never judging and for offering the bestest advice anytime.
Really love the way we can be totally ourselves when we're together.
lets write our letters to our 25 year old selves SOON SOON SOON!
Ohhh! anddd...
Happy new year boys (and jaslyn) !! sorry you guys couldnt be there!

work's maniac and tiring as usual. at my last department already.. meaning.. ill be coming back SOON! or rather, as soon as 48days is soon. I'm getting really used to china and all it goods and bads. Settling in real well now. But i honestly cant wait to get back home.. 
its here that i realise how frigging much we take many conveniences for granted back in Singapore..

We've got to wash our own clothes here manually, do our own grocery shopping, squat and let your legs go numb each time we do our businesses, throw our own rubbish, take more than 30mins to go to the nearest uban area, pay own handphone bills etc etc.
I've learnt to appreciate my mummy so much more now.. not that i didnt appreciate you before!
still....

Unice: imagine if you graduate then come back here to work for the REST of your lifeee... (in a scary voice)
Sherlynn: WHhhhhYYY?! (whines) no TOPSHOP ehH!
Unice: *rolls over laughing


     
  
     

was following the EOD around the past two nights, its this executive on duty stint that each singaporean intern gets to do by following well.. the executive on duty around the hotel to do checks and help identify problem areas in the hotel. We get to stay in the hotel at night and eat in all the F&B outlets during this stint. So its still prettay good life! we've got like bathtub!!! and toilet bowl!!! and a soft bed!!! i swear.. the 1st night i slept in the soft fluffy bed i felt myself sinking in and i couldnt get out! i guess im getting used to my wooden hard plank of a bed too much. crap.
 
had fun in the room with Lee just catching up and bitching. That woman ordered room service and was embarrassed when the staffs of her restaurant came up and said its like for me. thanks har.

Housekeeping's a chore [Dec. 8th, 2008|01:12 pm]
[Tags|]


step 1: grumble alot whilst pushing the heavyass supplies cart to the dirty room
step 2: pray hard as you walk that the room has a DO NOT DISTURB sign hung at the door
step 3: knock door 3 times and shout, "HOUSEKEEPING" in your best china accent. Repeat.
step4: enter room. Grab toilet cleaning kit, take a deep breath and step into the bathroom
step 5: clean up, arrange guests' belonging if any, wash tub, basin n bowl, replenish amenities
step 6: bed making (see below, its the main pain in ass procedure)
step 7: clean and dust room (same cloth is used for top of tv, floor corners, toilet bowl and CUPS)
step 8: arrange all furnitures back to standard positions
step 9: replenish all amenities in the room
step 10: vaccuum room with the monstrous huge machine available
er.. im kinda tired of typing hahahaha


bed making -- an art
 

what you need (king sized bed):
1x huge bedsheet
1x duvet cover
1x blanket/comforter
1x bed protector
2x pillow case
1x bed foot decor
2x small decorative cushion
 

1) relieve bed of everything (if bedsheet is wet or sticky, try to block your mind)
2) straighten bed protector sheet
3) flap bed sheet reeeeeaaalllly HARD to cover whole bed
4) tuck four corners of sheet to form a 90 degree right angle (its not easy)
5) flap duvet cover reeeallly HARD too to let air in
6) stuff comforter into duvet cover making sure the 4 corners meet and the ends are in line
7) spread the duvet over bed
8) get rid of clumpys under the cover and straighten out the comforter
9) fold down top 1/7 of the bed
10) make pillows and arrange them properly
11) push bed back to position, nip tuck to smoothen things out and add decoratives! (:
12) pat yourself on the back and imagine yourself as a sexy chambermaid.

TADAH!!!~

[Current Mood |indescribable]

counting down 4 days to OSIP

very conflicting thoughts in my head. spending the last week catching up with friends. i guess this will be how i feel if i knew i had only a week left to live or something. except ill be much sadder. i think. haven't done sooo much stuff and its all just piling up. lazing around at home for a day now seems like the ultimate pampering i can give myself. except.. there isnt time for that.
yet.

luggage unpacked. dont really know how to get about it.
haven't bought my eye cream, stockings, hard disk etc
some online spree shopping unarrived
to-do list untouched

parents nagging, J whining, friends grumbling, conscience chattering
my mind's going crazy
 
heard from my dear old mom that some famed Brazilian clairvoyant had predicted that a 9.1-magnitude earthquake and tsunami will batter Hainan on Saturday (13.9.08) and kill 1 million people. When the chinese authorities went to check out the rumors, they found some wells in the village to be mysteriously dried up, some wells with moving waters whole day long, crabs huddled on trees and fishes trying to jump out of the river. the predicted disaster was said to happen in the very island im gonna go to and happen the very day before i arrive at the island. my mum's screwy with worry and so is J.

me. i don't know what to think.
hmmm..


p/s: on the brighter note.. results are out and i did really well. pat on the back. welcome home old unice. (:

12 days

and im gonna throw away my life here in singapore, leave my comfort zone and go be in a new environment for 5 months.

looking at my luggage and just thinking about what to throw in there is a headache.
imagine trying to pack ur 19yrs of your acquisitions and needs and wants into a 20kg load
what to take? and what not to take?
more than all my material belongings is the urge to pack my family, my friends, and J into my luggage.
squeeze everyone in so that i wont miss anyone here.
but i guess i cant.
gotta make do

im bringing my 19 yr old security doggie along. tts the brown one with the ripped ears and missing eye (:

To wailumn ..

who's leaving tml night at changi airport T3 for god knows how long..


(back when you were the fire breathing dragon chasing audiences out for intermission)

(gonna miss your uber glam outlook and uber unglam personality)

 
(our very very INAPPROPRIATE and hot nights out with qin's lil black dress and ur nigger magnetism)


IMMA MISS YOU LOADS

lets see...our friendship banded together from
- inappropriate amounts of flashing
- love for mountains of mac fries
- teaching claire how to wash her undies (or rather laughing while yvonne teaches her)
- love for explicit explicit conversation content with liqin
- me watchin u try to arouse matt
- bitching about everyone and anyone ard us
- crazy laughing clubbing and sleepovers at qin's place
- and most of all, our insane ability to do embarrassing bullshit without feeling a tad of embarrassment

Had dins with jess and bie tonight at Sakae.. was really reminded of the old times when we first entered Tp and founded each other. This friendship means more to me than anything and im really glad time did not change a single thing about it. 

iwannaliveinacondowiththethreegirlsnearbyandgetmarriedatthesameperiodandhavekidsthatwillgrowuptogether!
wish u were here jo.


Warm Fuzzy Memories..
    
Its been 2 years.. since we stepped into TP and found "our kind"..





two years since we forge through the zillions of weirdass projects & the late night craze in school..



There was fun, laughter, squeals and hitting of boobs of course..


and two years later.. we are still standin strong..



its been a loong ride girls. and i wont forget how you guys were always there for me.. How we were always there for each other. Through all the mad nights, the break ups, the good and the bad.
Thanks for all the sweetness, the concern, the hugs, the laughter and the warm fuzzy feeling you all bring to my life.
Thanks for being YOU guys.

1st year loves
