trail of thoughts

imagine loving someone.
someone you intended on spending your life with.
one fine day, he calls you three things.
liar, promise-breaker, sadist.
you cry like crap.
in your state of mind.
suddenly someone offers you love with no strings attached.
do you accept?
or do you be true to your heart?
but when those 3 words shot at you,
you knew that you two could never be together.
for it means, he doesn't trust you.
was going with someone who loves you
but you don't feel that strongly for him a right choice?
i know it was a big mistake when i woke up this morning.
from my daily rest, i woke up after a nightmare.
having a funny sense in my heart.
a tight sensation, something's missing.
i know what was missing.
but is it alright to trade your happiness with a chance to bring someone closer to God?
is it ok to trade your happiness for someone to get healed?
as much as i want to love who i love,
it's impossible to do so anymore.
the feeling of your heart literally cracking, breaking, shattering just like that.
he let me go,
i got his blessings to find my true happiness to experience true love.
i know from this, he respects me, he loves me.
but it will be very selfish to go to someone for shelter, refuge and love.
i need to talk to you. but i fear.
i need to sort things out with myself.
i only have 12 hours for the new year is coming.
Lord, be my guide,
my strength in times like these

a bunch of rubbish

things to do in preparation of jc life:
1. buy new shoes - dark blue, black or white :(
2. get new socks - white
3. adjust the length of my skirt - knee length =P
4. go buy stationery - pen, paper blah blah
(that's about it!!)

haha.. this is splendid.. i start sewing my skirt today!! (:
at least i have something to do now?
i think i should be going out later..
and i should be setting up a new blog.
new year's eve is gonna be really boring again.
just like christmas. life makes happy people sad.
the once overly cheerful girl in mgs, suddenly finds no meaning in all these happy occasions anymore.
christmas used to be a "let's count down for christmas day!!" event..
new year used to be the best!! "climbing on roofs with my bro trying to look out for fireworks!!"
all those days are gone. all because people say "sarah, you've grown up down, dun climb up and down roofs like a little monkey!" but i want to! it's fun. though dangerous. but fun.
haii.. whyy?
my childhood is gone! haha. i guess it was gone a long time ago!
but heyy.. there's always a child in everyone of us!! (: face it!!
haha.. pjc let's me go horseback riding!! now i feel like staying there.. haii.. horse back riding!!! (:
okie lah. i shan't talk anymore rubbish..
so tata.. ciao.. byeee!! (:

when the rain comes

when the rain comes
it seems that everyone has gone away
when the night falls
you wonder if you shouldn't find someplace
to run and hide
escape the pain
but hiding's such a lonely thing to do

i can't stop the rain
from falling down on you again
i can't stop the rain
but i will hold you 'til it goes away

when the rain comes
you blame it on the things thatyou have done
when the storm fades
you know that rain must fallon everyone
rest awhile
it'll be alright
no one loves you like I do

when the rain comes i will hold you

can you tell me about love?

if i didn't already have so many blogspot accounts i would start another one..
a private one that only some may have access to it..
but i guess i can't handle to many blogs at one time
since i already can't handle my little puny life..
maybe an absolute change in the whole account?
template and all?
but you'll all kill me for making you change your links..
and i love this template.. i dun wanna change it!
it's like my radio! haha..

i spent some time talking to my friends on the topic of love last night.
haha.. i have enough information to write a book specially for myself.
i asked "can you tell me everything about love?"

dennis says:
it's a feeling which matures to become something which drives you
it's something which involves you giving up yourself
the more you love - the more of yourself you give up as wellit’s sacrificial

biblical aspect - it's your command to love. to love God and to love those arnd you
to love them would then also mean to give up yourself to them
in service - to those arnd you
and by being honest and everything
friends - you love your friends more coz you give more of yourself to them
and you often find that the more you give up yourself for someone, the relationship, if reciprocated, often gets deeper
and sometimes you get a bgr
but in all, you love when you give yourself up
it hurts coz sometims others don't appreciate what you have given up of yourself
to not love would be to cave inwards and be this selfcentred freak
walls will be built arnd you and cold and lonely you'll just pass without being known abt
it's a feeling, but the feeling shouldn't drive you
it's your purpose
why would you want to give yourself up to a certain person?
just remember that you cannot not love. but when you love, it means giving up yourself and that's the part you can choose. usually the more you give up, the more you get back but the greater the risks are as well. it's your choice. then again, people will love you. will you appreciate them giving themselves up for you?
and if you show them that you appreciate them, you usually get your satisfaction there and then
coz it has to be reciprocated
it's not a one way thingeverytime someone gives up themselves for someone else and it's not appreciated, the person will feel hurt


yewei says:
it means to be mature enough to give
give wad?
happiness?
loving someone is like always thinking FOR that person not just thinking bout him/her
like b4 doin anything .. u wld tink whether that action or sentence is goin to hurt him/her or the other way ard


*note* the purple is me.. the blue and green are dennis and yewei respectively.
thanks you two!! i understand it more.. (:
it was around 12midnight to 1am in the morning and they bothered to talk to me.
thank youuu!

a natural disaster.. and now.. there's even widespread diseases due to rotting bodies?

to my babyy

to you>> not a very long time ago..
we met at the most unexpected place.
it sorta felt weird.. and it didn't start with love.
as time went by.. i understood.
what i felt. how i feel.
about myself. about you. about an "us".
i was looking forward to spending the rest of my life with you.
but i made a stupid mistake.
one irreversible one.
one deep mistake.
sometimes i feel my life is very ironic.
i want to love yet i end up hurting others.
it's too much to bear.
just a while ago..
when you walked away from me..
from my childish, baby-temper..
i understood it all..
you need a lot more patience to deal with a burden like me.
i don't want to be a burden
but it's just the way i am.
in need of love, someone to care, a lot of patience. support.
there are reasons why i said what i said.
reasons which is hard to explain. but i never meant a thing i said.
im sorry for hurting you..
for sending a dagger through your fragile heart.
the heart that i promise id take care of.. but i fail.
your delicate heart broke under my torturous care.
im sorry with all my heart. i really am.
i didn't lie to you about anything.
i was honest with you through this time..
but your words cut so deep and the pain was felt like an open wound.
you said you'd trust me.
but you never could.. one who makes mistakes
one hundred. one thousand. one million mistakes.
i asked for too much.
i asked for you.
i don't deserve you.
i don't deserve your love, your care, your heart.
i will always love you. no matter where you are.
im very sorry for the things i've done.
as much as i want you back.
as much as i want to hold you again..
as much as i want to try to love you with all i am
it's not possible.
it's like they say "dream on"
i'll keep on dreaming..
it's no wonder why dreams seldom come true..
why would an angel fall for someone like me?




no point pouring my heart out.
no point crying my heart out.
where has my heart gone?
i gave it all up for in the name of love.
im felt with nothing. but myself.
once a relationship is gone.
it will never return.
unless i really meant something.
but what? i mean nothing.

this has got to be the most meaningless day of my whole holiday!!
yesterday was christmas and so i slept late..
i woke up at around 10.45am like that
and got off the bed at around 11am..
see that's like already half my day gone or something like that.
then i was starving and my grandad ate up all my roti prata (my brunch actually)
so i had to call and wait for mommie to come back from her outing with my lunch
haha.. i had yummy yummy laksa which was too spicy..
but it was really good! so i ate and ate.. and stopped only after the first tear drop fell.
so yes.. and guess what i did after i ate?
I WENT TO SLEEP AGAIN!!
and i just woke up.. it's like ahhhhh.
i slept for about 2½ hours.. and lied on it for 1 hour before that listening to the radio!
so in total for today.. the grand total number of hours i spent on my bed is...
*drumroll* 13½ hours!! that's more than half a day!
sometimes i just hate myself. help.
fine.. i shall tell you what happened yesterday during christmas!!
in point form.

+ woke up at 8am and took a cabbie down for church at 9.30am
+ tried looking for brenda choo but there was a problem with singtel.

+ continued calling brenda.
+ finally she called and penny and i ran out to get her

"merry" christmas?

i was hoping that this christmas would be different.
hoping to have someone to cross over from christmas eve to christmas day with me..
but it didnt' happen..
i sat by the television. alone.
watching all the joy and cheers that christmas brought all around the world but here.
constantly looking to my phone for people i can spend time with.
all had their own plans.. all didn't need me around.
this year's christmas was just like last year..
only one things has changed.. i know i spent this cross over with my Heavenly Daddy.
happy birthday Jesus Christ!!
yup.. but all else is the same.. there's nothing nice on tv..
as fantasia's voice was killing me..
i found a song that i can recommend to you..
i wanted to find a web which gave me enough space to host it..
but to no avail.. so i'll just leave the lyrics here for you guys..



+ clay aiken - merry christmas with love*
She leaned with her head on the window
Watching evergreen bend in the snow
Remembering Christmas the way it had been
So many seasons ago.
When children would reach for their stockings
And open the presents they found
The lights on the tree would shine bright in their eyes
Reflecting the love all around.
This year there's no one to open the gifts
No reason for trimming the tree
And just as a tear made its way to the floor
She heard voices outside start to sing.

Merry Christmas to all who may dwell here
Merry Christmas if even just one
May the joy of the season surround you
Merry Christmas with love.

Carolers sang as she opened the door
Faces of friends in the crowd
And all of the shadows of lonely reminders
Driven away by the sound.
Now the heart that for years had been silent
Was suddenly filled with a song
As she clung to their hands like a child in the night
She found her self singing along.

Merry Christmas to all who may dwell here
Merry Christmas if even just one
May the joy of the season surround you
Merry Christmas with love

yup i wish you all a blessed Christmas and hope yours wasn't as lonely as mine..
have a nice, blessed, wonderful, splended (and all the good words) Christmas..

a season of love

pieces of my thoughts-

i feel so systematic all of a sudden.. hai.. wad has become of the inorganized and playful sarah?

number one:
after hearing stuff from my friends who went to appeal for acjc.. and no offense to those who are like major "all the way acjc" and those who are there.. i do not stereotype people.. it's just the way i feel about the school.. so many things have passed.. everyone's been telling me over and over that acjc is gonna be a great school for me.. some say they will see me in that uniform after the O level results are out and all.. but acjc being a Christian based school, should also teach the ways a Christian should be.. not being judgemental and all that crap.. just because someone made a mistake and went to the school to appeal in the wrong clothes does not make the person not serious about going to school. does acjc expect them to go in gowns? tuxedoes? i dun think so.. so why make a big hoo-ha out of it just because of a tiny mistake.. and not taking her in? in fact insulting her just because she's appealing through choir? making her sing the school song 5 times? i mean i'd get sick of it you know? and after that saying "that's not how you sing it, don't sing it like a pop song!!" it's not like the school song is really that nice.. and besides.. they should be glad someone is willing to sing it for htem so many times!! i have only one word to describe this school and even some students who are studying there agree with me.. proud. and i feel that one day pride will be their downfall.. good luck acjc. and if i do end up there after first three months.. im not a typical acjc girl. i wont' click well.

number two:
i have been giving some thought into some stuff.. was it a mistake to leave? it wasn't a mistake cos i found [you] but i feel that i hurt someone so badly.. i dun like hurting people.. whether i feel a lot for them.. whether i hate them.. specially if i love them.. like them and what now.. but what am i to do? i cause a lot of pain and all.. should i just leave singapore? leave everything behind and start afresh? ahhhhh.. im very confused now.. but hey!! i know that God will guide me through this. i'll be praying lots about this.. find the right guy for me.. but i know that God made him come back and look for me for a reason.. is he the one that i ask to go to church on Christmas? i dunno.. i need an answer.. first.. i really dunno how to express all these in proper words for this issue so that i won't hurt anyone else in the process. but yeahh.. worry nots.. i am gonna be a very emotionally strong girl.. but i need your HELP yeah? haha.

so many things!!

ilove my blog template!! haha. the music.. ahhh

that was out of point..

firstly:
i think that ive become a lot stronger since everything happened.. i feel like im a much stronger person.. more independent and more open to stuff already? have i become more matured? that i don't know.. but one thing i know.. i relied a lot on God.. i spent most of my bored times talking to Him.. as if he was my friend.. it's really cool.. so ya.. i spent a lot of time finding things to occupy myself.. i have come to an understanding.. that God wants the best for all of us.. so maybe now, this just isn't the right time.. maybe He wants me to have some time alone to get over my past relationships!! yeahh.. God is a good God!! (:

secondly:
i am really excited about going to school next year.. it means new people.. new faces.. new environment and all.. i always tell myself that if i want to survive in jc.. i need to look on the bright side.. and that's in fact what i am doing right now.. i think jc life will help me grow even more.. when i meet different people.. i understand different kinds of stuff.. and it helps me prepare for the life of uni.. so it's really very exciting for me.. not to mention i have a few close friends going there with me.. which makes it even more interesting.. (:

thirdly:
he of 1 year 8 months and 1 day messaged me asking me to get back together.. but it's really impossible now.. we just don't click.. so after some time of talking.. we've decided that we can still be friends.. i think that's how matured people should behave.. just because one relationship is over.. doesn't mean the friendship before that is over.. it's cool now that we're friends again.. i have one friend more.. and maybe, just maybe i can get him saved too.. it's really something that i think i should do.. one reason why i love missions so much.. (:

fourthly:
there are a few concerns that i have which need to be addressed.. i need to talk to some people about being more open with things.. i happen to be talking to an ex-classmate now.. which apparently is going to pjc with me.. she's really uptight about going into jc.. and she seriously needs to do some thinking before she even thinks about going there.. she's prejudice against some people in our school who are going there too.. and she stereotypes others.. i need to talk some sense into her.. it's really gonna be a waste if she's not open to the world.. i mean uni's gonna be worse.. we have people from all walks of life..

that's about all i have to address for now.. oh CRAP! im late.. im meeting my friend at 1.45pm at newton mrt station and i stay how far.. and it's like i haven't changed yet.. and it's already turning 1!! sorrie guys.. i have to go now.. take care ya? iloveyou.

haha.. a new change of template!! haha.. oh yes..
i changed it because it's i dun wanna say things i dun meann..
haha. "merry" christmas? haha.. i can't say it without lying..
yup.. so yes.. i listened to one song just now..
diana degarmo did a cover version of the song "don't cry out loud" right?
i was just listening to it just now..
and the words were just so so meaningful..
maybe it was just meaningful to me lah..
i felt like it was talking to me.. haha.. so yes.
this part that said..

baby saw that when they pulled that big top down
they left behind her dreams among the litter
the different kind of love she thought she'd found
there was nothin' left but sawdust and some glitter
but baby can't be broken 'cause you see
she had the finest teacher-that was me-I told 'er
don't cry out loud
just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings
fly high and proud
and if you should fall, remember you almost had it all

yup!! it's like way cool how i get spoken to through music that i love..
so.. i learnt.. hide your feelings.. dun cry out loud.. (:
the happy sarah is backk!! woohoo!! i guess.
yup.. i gotta go buy new cards for the old ones have become inappropriate..
so wish me luck in finding the right card again..
so i dun have to buy and buy and buy more cards
for i am ALREADY broke!!
haha.. and something strange about love..
remember i used to say that if you spend too much time with a person
you tend to get hurt more easily?
haha.. funny thing is the shortest relationship ever
hurts me the MOST.. it's amazing..
for the first time.. sleep didn't make me feel better..
i still felt the pain after one whole night of crying and losing sleep and appetite..
to lose weight: fall in and out of love.

memories`

when i saw that look in your eyes
my heart was filled with fear.
id knew it deep down inside
but oh stupid little stubborn me
refused to get prepared for it..
until you said it just like that..
i knew, everything i hoped for was an illusion.
all the time we spent together
all the thoughts of spending my life with you
they have just become faded memories in me.
thank you for 4 days of love and what.

God is the world's biggest joker actually..
He makes you feel you find someone whom you can really rely on..
lets you imagine spending the rest of your life with that person..
being able to love the person with all your heart..
and speaks to him telling him it's not gonna work out..
i feel like such an idiot..
a born moron i am.. so stupid..
haii.. there goes my love life.. it's gone..
i won't be loving anyone anytime soon now..
i guess i'll be going to pjc single again..
haha.. oh wells.. maybe wad "he" said was right afterall


"you don't deserve to be loved by anyone..
trust me, no one will love you.."
- the unspeakable

singlehood, it's been a long time
since we last met
since we last talked
you are my dearest friend now
ive lost my bestest friend to love.
and he's never coming back
i'll be with you for a long time i guess.
knowing my promises and myself well,
i know now that we are made for each other.
lonely, miserable and dejected.
i don't love you, singlehood
but i hope that one day i'd appreciate you.

a sad sad story that made me tear

When I was a puppy, I entertained you with my antics and made you laugh. You called me your child, and despite a number of chewed shoes and a couple of murdered throw pillows, I became your best friend. Whenever I was "bad," you'd shake your finger at me and ask "How could you?" -- but then you'd relent and roll me over for a bellyrub. My housebreaking took a little longer than expected, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together.I remember those nights of nuzzling you in bed and listening to your confidences and secret dreams, and I believed that life could not be any more perfect. We went for long walks and runs in the park, car rides, stops for ice cream (I only got the cone because "ice cream is bad for dogs" you said), and I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.

Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. I waited for you patiently, comforted you through heartbreaks and disappointments, never chided you about bad decisions, and romped with glee at your homecomings, and when you fell in love.

She, now your wife, is not a "dog person" -- still I welcomed her into our home, tried to show her affection, and obeyed her. I was happy because you were happy. Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement. I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them, too. Only she and you worried that I might hurt them, and I spent most of my time banished to another room, or to a dog crate. Oh, how I wanted to love them, but I became a "prisoner of love."

As they began to grow, I became their friend. They clung to my fur and pulled themselves up on wobbly legs, poked fingers in my eyes, investigated my ears, and gave me kisses on my nose. I loved everything about them and their touch -- because your touch was now so infrequent and I would've defended them with my life if need be. I would sneak into their beds and listen to their worries and secret dreams, and together we waited for the sound of your car in the driveway. There had been a time, when others asked you if you had a dog, that you produced a photo of me from your wallet and told them stories about me. These past few years, you just answered "yes" and changed the subject. I had gone from being "your dog" to "just a dog," and you resented every expenditure on my behalf.

Now, you have a new career opportunity in another city, and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. You've made the right decision for your "family," but there was a time when I was your only family. I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the animal shelter. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said "I know you will find a good home for her." They shrugged and gave you a pained look. They understand the realities facing a middle-aged dog, even one with "papers."

You had to pry your son's fingers loose from my collar as he screamed "No, Daddy! Please don't let them take my dog!" And I worried for him, and what lessons you had just taught him about friendship and loyalty, about love and responsibility, and about respect for all life. You gave me a good-bye pat on the head, avoided my eyes, and politely refused to take my collar and leash with you. You had a deadline to meet and now I have one, too. After you left, the two nice ladies said you probably knew about your upcoming move months ago and made no attempt to find me another good home. They shook their heads and asked "How could you?"

They are as attentive to us here in the shelter as their busy schedules allow. They feed us, of course, but I lost my appetite days ago. At first, whenever anyone passed my pen, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you that you had changed your mind -- that this was all a bad dream... or I hoped it would at least be someone who cared, anyone who might save me. When I realized I could not compete with the frolicking for attention of happy puppies, oblivious to their own fate, I retreated to a far corner and waited. I heard her footsteps as she came for me at the end of the day, and I padded along the aisle after her to a separate room. A blissfully quiet room. She placed me on the table and rubbed my ears, and told me not to worry. My heart pounded in anticipation of what was to come, but there was also a sense of relief. The prisoner of love had run out of days. As is my nature, I was more concerned about her. The burden which she bears weighs heavily on her, and I know that, the same way I knew your every mood.

She gently placed a tourniquet around my foreleg as a tear ran down her cheek. I licked her hand in the same way I used to comfort you so many years ago. She expertly slid the hypodermic needle into my vein. As I felt the sting and the cool liquid coursing through my body, I lay down sleepily, looked into her kind eyes and murmured "How could you?" Perhaps because she understood my dog speak, she said "I'm so sorry." She hugged me, and hurriedly explained it was her job to make sure I went to a better place, where I wouldn't be ignored or abused or abandoned, or have to fend for myself -- a place of love and light so very different from this earthly place. And with my last bit of energy, I tried to convey to her with a thump of my tail that my "How could you?" was not directed at her. It was directed at you, My Beloved Master, I was thinking of you. I will think of you and wait for you forever. May everyone in your life continue to show you so much loyalty.

so yes.. im dead tired. one whole day of shopping..
with penny next to me.. helping me choose loads of stuff..

i saw him today again..
sighh.. and i saw that he was really happy.. i guess i should be happy for him too..
but then again.. i felt so cheated..
i mean all the time i spent loving him and the effort and emotions i put in..
i wasted all my effort and all that time on him..
he was happy.. a few days and he was alright.. i feel so stupid..
shite man.. haha.. but im okie.. already i guess. haha..

my sweet goodbyes

goodbye 1 year 8 months and 1 week.
it's been a long time.. a lot of memories..
and leaving was somewhat difficult..
but you've hurt me so much..
put all the blame on me..
make me love you and not get loved in return..
i do not regret all these..
regretting anything will just make things worse..
a lesson was learnt.. a lot of memories will be kept.
030403, a date that will always be close to my heart.
first time i actually feel in love..
thank you for the painful/hurtful/wonderful memories.

im leaving tomorrow!!
going to genting to play with all the rides and stuff..
i'm gonna miss all of you..
iloveyou.
GOODBYE FOR NOW!!!
*MUACKS*
to you >> i hope you don't mind me keeping the memories.

im getting more stupid each day

i was just watching the jay chou's qing tian mv..
and guess what.. i actually cried.. i dunno why i did..
but i just started crying.. haha.. i think im getting more stupid as the days go by..

it's just some thoughts that were probably stuck in my head..
never came out but then when i saw it..
it all came back? haha.. im silly..

why did you hold my hand like you wanted me?
why did you hold me like you needed me?
why did you kiss me like you really loved me?
why did you care like i meant something to you?
why did you look into my eyes like we were one?
why did you smile to make my heart melt?
why did you whisper sweet nothings to make me happy for a while?
why did you do all these to make my fall in love with you?
why did you try so hard to make me feel for you?
then you say it's impossible..
why did you lie to me?
why did you make me love you so?
why did you make me need you so?
i trusted you with my heart..
and you broke it just like that..

loooove?

the trouble with love is
it can tear you up inside
make your heart believe a lie..
life so far has been pretty miserable..
apart from a great big..
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ADE, NICKY AND CONNIE,
nothing really happy has been happening in my life.
it's like everyday goes on.. goes by..
when you think you've finally found the one
you realise it's not meant to be because it can never happen
the future is so uncertain..
most of the time it's not what i expect it to me..
but if one is not willing to give it a try..
have no faith, there isn't any point.
i made a promise to myself a long time ago..
and my conclusion for now..
i'll never love again_____________

confusion___ reality struck

it's been 1 year 8 months and 1 day since everything started..
was the feeling i had so long ago still there?
has this caused so much hurt and pain that i don't want to know anymore?
i only wished i knew..
i pray everytime i think of this.. every night about it.
i just don't understand what's right and what's wrong anymore.
i think i need a break from all these but i really don't know..
am i really happy? what is happiness anyway..
is this really motivated by true love?
im really weak now.. spiritually and emotionally.
(still physically alright though)
is the reason why i no longer cry because im immune to the pain of hurt?
or have i really become stonger?
or could it be that i really don't feel so much?
have i actually given up without knowing it?
haii.. i dunno.. strange feeling this is..
i guess i'll continue to pray about it..
eventually the answer will come straight to me..

He's my God and
He is my refuge
He's the rock on which i stand
He's my fortress
God - He's my life
He holds the oceans in His hands
there's nothing my God cannot do.

yes i have to.. i dunno how to cure that problem.. but i am going to!
so mr coward and i left penny in orchard to look for her mommie
while we took a cabbie to woodlands for badminton!!
that was after getting really lime-ish coloured slippers for joy..
haha.. man i sucked.. it was embarrassing.. haha.. tinklebell and her soft hits. haix..

idol fever has subsided



Which flock do you follow?
this quiz was made by alanna


haha i just happen to find that site.. so i went to play a little haha..

last night was the grand finale for Singapore idol..
overall.. i really thought they both did pretty well..
taufik had this good points and so did sylvester..
honestly, i thought sylvester's "it's my life" was funny and amusing..
his "an jing" was pretty good.. and "i dream" I LOVED IT!!
for taufik.. i just didn't like his songs.. i don't like that "superstition"
and neither did i like "me and mrs jones" but i have to admit he was a really good performer..
and besides.. i really think that sylvester's "i dream" was better..
it's just like the american idol season 3..
i thought diana sounded so much better than fantasia for "i believe"
BUT fantasia got to release it instead..
haha.. today on the radio.. so many songs were being played..
i heard taufik's first single play over and over so many times on different stations
and i heard the "that's what friends are for" by the 11 idol finalist!
it's actually a pretty nice version of that song.. haha..
not that taufik batisah has been crowned our first singapore idol..
no more arguing who is better already lahx.. it doesn't matter
both of them are going to get recording contracts anyway..
yup.. so ciao.. sarah was bored.. so started talking rubbish!

shopping___

message page
has been updated after a long 3 months period since september 2004
[mainly for MGSians]

went shopping with my mommie todayy.. went to mango and saw this really nice bag.. but mommie said "i'll buy you a nicer one next time" bleaghh.. then we went to marche to have lunchie.. and i realised something.. im everywhere!! haha.. on each and every table.. there's this cow.. and it says moo! moo! hahah.. im famous!! (yeah rite) yup.. ate till i was really full and then after which went to zara and looked around.. went to guess.. and looked around.. the esprit was too far.. so i can't be bothered.. walked around taka.. looked at the bags.. and dresses and all.. saw some nice dresses for Christmas BUT they looked very formal and i don't think i'd wear them at all.. but they were really pretty.. spent a lot of time watching around doing window shopping.. and saw really weird clothes and some really nice ones.. some of which the prices would shock you!!

after a long time...
i bought:
- bright pink top (sixties) from mango
- leafy green three-quarter sleeved top from zara
THAT'S IT!!

talk about a shopping failure!! haha.. but hey! at least i bought something.. i saw a really nice skirt though.. but mommie said "you have too many skirts at home!" and i won't have enough time to wear all of them if i continue to buy skirts everytime i go out!! nevermind.. i'll be hunting for my Christmas dress tomorrow!! i'll give orchard a miss.. too many formal wear there.. yup.. and hopefully.. on friday when i go shopping (without mommie) i can buy myself another skirt!! and i used to buy all those hair stuff to play with my hair but since i cut it.. i can't do anything to it! =( bahhh.. oh well.. haha..

after that.. i followed my mommie to the doctors and that was the doctor that i used to go to since i was young lahx.. so he was talking so much about why i don't wanna go to aussie to study.. fine.. it's something like this..

doc: why don't wanna go to aussie?
me: 'cos i don't want to?
mom: she'll miss all her friends la.
doc: oh like my son.. what have you been doing?
me: waiting for O level results? schooless? trying for pjc.
doc: go pjc? trying? can one lahx.. just have to pray!
mom: yeah. pray
doc: oh ya.. go to australia to study.. it's faster.. why don't want to go?
me: i dunno
doc: must be have boyfriends in singapore right? hahahahah..
mom: ya lah. so many..
me: ARGH!!! ya.. boys who are friends.. kinda thing?
mom: i think we make a move first.. thanks doctor koh..
me: BYEEEEE
doc: bye.

finally it's over.. haha. and being the pig me and my mommie are.. we went around the corner to look for food.. haha.. and bought cheese cake and sugar roll.. haha.. brought home some laksa and fried hokkien mee for my family members.. went home and ate somemore.. haha.. so yeah.. a very tiring day it was.. im still upset that i didnt' get my bag and skirt and dress.. sighh.. haha. i guess it couldn't be a lot worse going home empty handed! tataaa
