isn't this the most beautiful sight ever?
well this is not a picture produced by
some computer genius who happens to be
terrific at blending colours and placing
them on a nice background.nope.
this is an aurora borealis, otherwise known
as northern lights.It is a magnificent
nighttime phenomenon that occurs when harmful
solar particles collide with the earth's
protective atmosphere.
the result is a really pretty mix of colours
in the night sky, sort of like an oil painting,
but with the sky as a canvas.
auroras are commonly found
in countries like greenland, siberia,
alaska, antartica and sometimes,canada.
if you go to alaska on a guided tour,
chances are, there will be a viewing
of an aurora borealis.most likely,
the tour will be on a nice big boat
where you can lie back and enjoy
the flickering of the northern lights.
if you're interested to find out more,
you can always visit
http://www.exploratorium.edu/learning_studio/auroras/selfguide1.html
for detailed explanations on auroras.
correct me if i'm wrong,
but many people are clueless about
this natural phenomenon because it
doesn't happen over here in singapore.
so go find out more!!
gosh i sound like a teacher.
its new years's eve.
let us usher in 2006!!!
So I won't give up
No, I won't break down
Sooner than it seems life turns around
And I will be strong
Even if it all goes wrong
When I'm standing in the dark
I'll still believe
Someone's watching over me
the last day of the year, 6 29pm.

28th december 7 50pm
its been a lazy sit at home and watch tv day.
my brother just bought a disc which
has all the chronicles of narnia soundtracks.
so ominous music is booming throughout
the house.
sigh.things just got a little bit more exciting.
the music is giving me the creeps.
watched stinger today on hbo.
its the worst movie i've ever watched.
its based in an abandoned submarine
so everything is all dark.
and the graphics and ending suck.ohwell.
hope everyone elses day had been a tad bit
more interesting.

27th december, 3 12pm.
hope you all have had
a happy Christmas!
a usual,
i had a family gathering on x'mas day.
its only on these occassions
that everyone comes back together
but this year some people were missing too.
but anyhow, we still had a great time
celebrating the day our saviour was born.
over the years,
Christmas has become the most celebrated
holiday worldwide.
which goes to show how God is moving.
so school is reopening soon.
homework,anyone?
the hardest part of doing
homework is not actually
working hard to complete it
but actually disciplining
yourself to get started.
it can only get easier from then on.
i still haven't started on geography hw.
i don't have a clue what its about.
sighh.the woes of a student.
i just sent florence's x'mas card
yesterday.her card took 4 days to reach me
and i only received it this morning.
but don't worry, i'll never be late
cause there are 12 days of christmas.heh.
i have been doing nothing but watching movies
at home so this morning i called up
florence and francine my 2 bestest friends
to go ice-skating.
it'll be good to get some exercise for a change.
man i'm such a couch potato.
the weather has been dreadful.
usually i would welcome rain,
but its casting such a dreary spell
during the festive season.
its been raining on and off today.
during this holiday i've only gone out
twice i think. as in with my friends,
not just leaving the house.
so i'm looking forward to friday...
make the most of what's left
of the holidays!!
cya all soon.

Have you seen a sunset,
Fade beneath a rain cloud
Have you ever chased your dreams away
Did you ever think that,
Life was just a highway
A never ending road of lonely days
There are times we cry
And reach out to the sky
For the strength we need
To hold our head up high
Have you seen a sunrise,
Promising you daylight
When all you need is shelter from the storm
did you ever feel like,
Love was just an island
You can’t survive on love all on your own
There are times when i,
Need to reach inside
For the strength I need,
To hold my head up high.

20th dec, 7 51 pm.
adrenaline rush.
that's what you get while clubbing.
last night my siblings and i went
for this event at Chinablack,
a club/disco, whatever you call it.
the event, otherwise known
as Flick,
is actually a pre-christmas party
organised by a friend's friend's......
by someone.
tickets had to be ordered
through friends who had connections
with the host of Flick.
Flick is, like i said, a party
but its at a club, Chinablack.
and you know how clubs are for
people aged 18++ right?
well there were no alcoholic drinks,
thus allowing youths to have
the luxury to experience clubbing.
before we were actually legal.
Flick took place last night,
19th december.
our parents dropped us off.
the whole place was swimming with people.
let me describe it to you.
the dancefloor is in the middle,
and is surrounded by several sitting areas
and palm trees.
the whole place is dark, lit only by laser rays
and colourful lights.oh, not to forget
the traditional sparkly ball on top at the middle.
for some reason, the whole place is foggy,
making vision rather difficult.
there are bars situated at corners.
the dancefloor is just,well, a floor.
there are certain places where the floor
is elevated,so you can go up if you have the guts to.
it was really really crowded,nearly impossible
to enter or leave the dancefloor.
music is booming and you can feel the bass.
trust me.in fact, it seems to make the whole place vibrate.
it was a mixture of R&B and trance.
techno is like so passe.
at first when i went in i got a shock.
firstly, it was, as i said, crowded.
secondly, the people there were
scary. punky youths dressed formally.
that's almost like an oxymoron.ohwell.
people were screaming and cheering.
so i just sat around, soaking
in the awesomeness of the whole place.
then after a drink to calm myself down
i entered the dance floor.
and danced. being in the dance club
for two years, as i only discovered yesterday,
does have some benefits.
like the fact that it really increases your flexibility.
so anyway the whole dancefloor
was filled with sweaty,gyrating bodies
and swinging hips.
beieve me, you can't move an inch
with banging into someone.
i had fun, really.
we arrived at 11 15pm and left at 2 30am.
our parents picked us up and sent us home.
it was a real eye-opener to clubbing.
how fun and dangerous it can be.
it should certainly be done
in the future, but only sparingly.
to go there often often would be
social suicide.heh.
by the time we reached home it was 3 am.
i woke up at 1 30pm today.
then i got ready and went to
pick up my contact lenses.
i decided to use monthly contacts.
it would be better in the long run.
my sis, dad and bro are working.
which leaves me and my mum at home.
and rainbow, of course.
i wanna go ice skating with florence
+ others.
and i wanna do my geography hw with florence.
so many things to do,
so little time..heh.movie quote.
so anyway, people,
its almost the end of the holidays.
ignorance is bliss though.
just think, soon we'll be ushering in 2006.
sigh.

19th december 'o5
8 pm.
i've just finished my chinese
homework.oh yeaaaaaa.
and i've just eaten a whole
crunchie bar so...sugar high.yeps.
this christmas all i ask for is
world peace.corny huh?
but think about this.
during our human lives
we will live on this earth
unless they build houses
on venus or crap.
and if this world isn't a safe place,
where else can we go?
oh and i also want ringtones.
this phone came with nothing at all.
=)

17th december 'o5
7 pm.
well, i'm up and about again
after a particularly nasty bout
of food poisoning yesterday.
ok..flashback.
yesterday i started feeling nauseous
when i woke up.
dismissing it as normal,
i went back to rest and awoke
at noon to a horrendous stomach ache.
and..the runs.
it went on the whole day.
living hell.
plus no one was at home.
my sis went for some training,
my mum to arrange flowers
my dad and bro to work.
so i just suffered in bed
all the way till 7pm.
without eating anything
because i was in too much pain.
so that meant an additional bonus-
gastric pain.
when my mum returned,
she was shocked to find me in
such a state,perspiring and all.
so she drove me down to a doctor
where he declared me--poisoned.
then he started probing my tummy
and even though it hurt,
i burst into a giggling fit.
he said that i was awfully ticklish.
so when i returned home i took
my medication and rested.
and this morning i awoke
feeling happy just to be alive.
to date since yesterday,
i have swallowed 10 pills.
like waaay gross.
i'm not sure if i'll be up for
church tomorrow.
i'll rest early i guess.
oh and there's Mean Girls on HBO
tonight!!!
chickflick alert!!
i'll be definitely watching it.
the last time i had food poisoning
was a few mere months ago.
which leads me to quote
somebody(i can't remember who)
who said something that remotely
resembled this:
in order to enjoy life, you have to live
it to the fullest, 100%.
the two zeros are love and happiness.
the '1' represents health.
without health, your life would be zero.
food for thought!!
yesterday i received a letter
about a $150 award for
good progress in studies.
i am trying to squirm my way
out of the prize presentation,
i tell you.
i shall thus work my manipulative mind..

december 11, 12 32pm.
i just returned home from shopping.
i went with my mum,dad and sis
to the newly revamped marina square.
we had dinner first at the new place,
Carls Jr.
not bad.and reasonably priced.
we bought stuff from fox and billabong.
walked around aimlessly.
bought stuff for our neighbours' cute kids.
some stores extended their opening hours
till midnight so we looked around till
a quarter past 11.
we had the usual difficulty of locating our car.
yesterday i've started on my chinese hw.
finished 2 of those newspaper reports.
blah.
oh yea and i've started reading order of the phoenix.
these nights its been raining hard.
my room curtains are these light shade of..
green i think so the lightning shows through it.
i always have trouble sleeping cause
of the flashes.
i just squeeze funky monkey no 1
till i hear all the syrofoam being squashed.
confused? its just what i call
my monkey mogu.
funky monkey no 1.
(cos i always believe there is room for another 1.)
i think i'll be giving church a miss tmr.
today i spent the whole aftnn
reading and packing up clothes
for the salvation army.
i ended up giving up half my wardrobe away.
its always good to bless others.

7th December
7.24pm
ooh.
last night i went to watch
hpgof with my bro.
my parents came along too but
they went shopping.
anyways.
the show was not bad i suppose.
they left out quite a lot
but yet it was still rather draggy.
2 hr 37 min.
myrtle was veryvery cheeky.
one saddening thing was that
that was no chemistry between
harry and chochang.
i still feel that books are much
better than movie adaptations.
for people who have
HBO, channel 60,
do watch dawn of the dead tonight.
its highlighted in the newspaper today.
n-16.
but to heck with it!
its basically about a plague
that sweeps through a town,
turning almost everyone into...
zombies.the few remaining
humans take refuge in a shopping mall.
oooh.sounds great right?
very resident-evil-ish.
i simply adore such movies
in which people are trapped
and something inhuman is
hunting them down.
speaking of resident-evil part 1,
i totally freaked during
that scene in which the team
walked past an aquarium like
tank.there was this dead woman floating
in the water,apparantly dead.
but as soon as their backs were
turned,her eyes popped open.
i watching it all alone,
late at night so i was super duper scared..
the dogs were scary too.
maybe next time i will
blog using the other computer.
the date options are missing here
and they just slot in some date and timing.
grrr.

i'm over whelmed with fatigue.
saturday night i slept
at 2 and woke at 7.
and sunday night i slept at 1 30,
waking up at 7 today for tuition.
how sucky.
to make things worst i'm
also suffering from insomnia.
i wake up three times at night,
namely 3,5,6.
i wanna watch hpgof.
its been ages.
maybe tonight i'll get
my bro to drive me there
and accompany me.=)
05 december.

great song,
great lyrics.
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/darius/incrediblewhatimeanttosay.html
go read it.
isn't it weird how we can say one thing but mean another? like for instance telling people to leave you alone when the last thing you want is to be alone?or do something but not really mean it? like giving up when you know that all you want is a second chance.
the heart lies so often.
sometimes we don't even know it.
yes,the truth hurts,
but its all we really want to hear.
and its all that matters.
lies and deceptions.
they're just something to
cover up the truth,
making it much more pleasing to the ear.
but when these fade away
it will be nothing but the real
truth, complete with all its flaws and imperfections.
then you would be back to square 1.
so why not present the bare truth?
like the saying goes:
bitter medicine works the best;
the truth is not pleasing to the ear.
why spin a web of deception
around yourself?
others will only find it hard to trust you.
and if you're not careful,
you'll finally do yourself in
with all your lies.
doesn't a boomerang always return?
remember:karma.
what goes around comes around.
its a whole complicated thing.
but when put simply it means:
do bad things, karma will kick you right back.
and you will probably get a threefold retribution.
in biblical terms;
don't do unto others what you don't want
others to do unto you.
i don't know why i said all that,
but on a lighter note,
i'll be going to watch hpgof with my bro
this monday night.
it would be honestly pathetic
to watch a movie alone yea?
on a heavier note,
its decemberrrrr!!
and i haven't even touched my homework
yet!!
*cues scary music.
but anyways,
x'mas is around the corner
and with all the x'mas decorations
up everywhere,
you can't help but soak yourself in the
festive cheer.
happy holidays!!
So I scream, scream cause it hurts
Your every word
Cuts me inside and leaves me worse
There's no way back
And what if there was
You'd still be you and I'd still need
To say goodbye
ps: i wrote this at 5 40pm btw.
the time's screwed.
