:D

wanted to go for a tan today
but it turned cloudy the moment i reached Tampines Swimming Complex.
thus i just did my usual 40 laps in the pool.
hmm hmm,i even brought my tanning lotion!
oh wells,
try my luck again tomorrow :D


anyways,bought myself a pair of chino pants from Uniqlo
i was surprised that the alteration only took half an hour!
Thankfully i reached home before it poured
unpredictable weather!

After which i went out again
to ArtFriend at bugis
bought myself a stretched canvas for $35
haha I looked like an idiot carrying it on the streets
and worse still in the crowded MRT.
Glad that it made it back in one piece :D

All for the love of art.

Things will get better


Recently,
things are getting better for me,
least there's something for me to look forward to.
Never place your faith in a person
for it will only fail you.
We tend to invest too much into love
only to find ourselves losing it all in the end.
Why not take that time and effort
and place it somewhere else

As for me,
I've decided to place my love into art
for i know,id see results.

Anyway,UOB painting of the year 2011 has begun
trying to think of what to paint.
How exciting!!

A Happy Sunday :)

Met up with Nuh at Pasir Ris park
Went to try out roller blading for the first time!
it was so difficult!!

kept having to walk onto the grass patch
and i had two EPIC falls,landed on the back of my hips!
hahaha damnnnn embarassing!!
took me 2 hours to travel to the other end of pasir ris park
just to get myself a can of H2O
but the sense of achievement was tremendous!
Everything went smoothly and i learnt quite alot
had Nuh to thanks for being a great teacher
and the weather was great too!
didnt rain at all :D
really enjoyed myself

We then went to catch a movie
Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides
the mermaid in the poster is astrid berges-frisbey
gosh she is sooo pretty!!

i loved the movie alot!!
loved it so much more than the previous 3 POTC movies
i felt that there was too much going on in the previous ones,
but this one was perfect!
loved Johnny Depp,such a great actor!
favourite part of the movie was where the mermaids came in
haha shan't be a spoiler
go watch it!


after the movie,i went to check out the Sushi section
it was closing thus they'd reduce the price just to clear the stock
enjoyed my $2 sushi :D

hahaha simple things like these makes me happy

I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love,
But sometimes it hurts instead"

Greedy Cat


Saw this white cat that i liked alot
decided to give my $1.20 chicken char siew bun to it
but it was such a picky eater.
Another cat then came along and grabbed the bun away.
In the end,poor white kitty could only sit and watch
as the other cat enjoy its feast.

Moral of the story:
Dont be a pussy,if you want something,go for it.

Skinny Love - Birdy



Come on skinny love, just last the year
Pour a little salt, we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right at the moment this order's tall

And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind

And in the morning, I'll be with you
But it will be a different kind
'Cause I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines

Come on skinny love, what happened here?
Suckle on the hope in light brassiere
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split

And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind

And now all your love is wasted
Then who the hell was I?
'Cause now I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines

Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?

Come on skinny love
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
