there's a pain that sleeps inside
it sleeps with just one eye
and awakens
the moment that you're near
though i try to look away
the pain it still remains
only leaving
when you're next to me

following which was drinks at Timbre. finally, i've been to the place that everyone has been talking about. it's really a lovely chillout place with great music! i love the interactiveness of the live band :)

:):)
and quite evidently the two in front totally ignored us
hahaha. my photo taking skills are quite terrible.

dinner at Westlake. along the way me and yx had some MS moments which completely cracked us up and annoyed mj. hahaha.
after dinner, because of a lack of places to go (we were in ulu Clementi), we went over to my aunt's condo at sunset way. (actually i do love that place. it's like a self-contained little town!)

choosing the icecream


at the poolside at the clubhouse. yeah, machiam my house lah. hahaha.
we hung around for quite around, talking and playing stupid games. i realised when i'm with these group of people, i seem to return to my childhood. hahaha. :)

we pasted their "faces" leftover from the preparation on the windows! hahahaha.
i'll just spare you all the details of how those two made their way up, stood outside the room for like 1/2h debating whether to go in or not because they thought we were going to sabo them! hmph!
anyhow. the cake!

HAHAHAH.

with the birthday boy

and the girl!

nice! :) mj is actually smiling!! hahaha. such a rarity
for the rest of the time (we booked the room from 2 to 5), we were just sitting around talking, and not even making full use of the game room. hahaha.

mj wants the balloons to drift down on us. unfortunately his reflexes were too fast. AND HAHAHA HUIZHI'S EXPRESSION IS PRICELESS!!



TO BE CONTINUED!
HAHAHAHA.
so she dio a dose of her own medicine. wahhahahahahaha.
actually i don't think you all should credit me in the video. because basically what i did the entire time was sit there and laugh and laugh and laugh. yes, i'm very encouraging :)
alright to be continued!
oh yeah last saturday was kbox with my favourite vj boys. hahaha. i havent met them since 31st of december 'cos i was just too damn busy! missed them!! :)
then ** asked 'then next time he get a gf how?' hahah my answer was: i don't know. he just has to get one after he stops being important to me. or after i get attached. HAHAH. yea that's the ideal situation. but of coz i have always known that there will be this possibility. i used to not care. and i really hope i can go back to that frame of mind soon.
quoted, erm, without permission. heh heh.
but i told said owner of quote, how hitting the nail on the head it was!
anyway dear owner, if you mind the quote being here, msn me. :)
anyway i can't sleep. it's 3.21am and i'm wide awake, no thanks to the fact that i just finished the weekly memo and i also reached home not too long ago from the airport. actually i do love doing work at the airport with dearest mol (who recently got an imac which is a constant source of distraction) because i don't get sidetracked by shopping sprees or HIMYM. very productive! (provided mol doesnt get into one of his cranky emo moods. heh heh)
so since i can't sleep, i'm going to go into one of my rambling posts.
okay, so recently a few of my friends are in those 发花痴ing phases, and most recently ;) one of my friends actually said he/she “很久没有这种感觉了”. granted, perhaps it wasn't said in the most positive tones because my poor friend is actually more than just merely infatuated. WELL ANYWAY. my point is, that sentence struck me particularly hard because, YES, it's been a hella long of a time since i've been infatuated or had a crush, or had an eyecandy. ANYTHING. so point is, MINYAN IS VERY BORED. (before any of you jumps in and say that it's not true that i'm not infatuated, i'd just like to say that that's not infatuation. THAT'S AN EXTREMELY UNHEALTHY BAD HABIT THAT NEEDS TO BE DESTROYED FROM THE ROOTS THANK YOU. ahem. jeez. sometimes i think i can actually liken it to smoking. easy to start, impossible to quit)
so anyway, i've also realised there are a number of stages in what people normally just classify as Liking. there's
1st stage: where the person is just a happy distraction in your mundane school life. you look forward to seeing him in classes 'cos he's just so darn cute. but at this stage, you don't exactly know the person. perhaps one of those hi-bye friends.
2nd stage: where you get to know the person at the friend level. and as you get to know him better, you start to get emotionally attached. we usually call this a CRUSH. at this point of time should you find out any flaws/this guy is attached etc, you can still back out pretty fast, no strings attached, not much disappointment etc.
3rd stage: when you get to know the person for a substantial period of time, and you're STILL emotionally invested. we call this LIKE. at this point of time, you're pretty much still blind to all his flaws. and i dare say if you don't haul yourself out of this stage soon, you're going to be in pretty huge trouble in time to come. (of course, we're all assuming that this is one-sided)
4th stage: when you've known this person like forever, you still like him, AND he pretty much has a permanent spot in your heart. we call this the you-still-can-escape-but-it's-going-to-be-hard stage. what you're going to need is another distraction. it will work, but you will realise sooner or later the permanent spot is called a permanent spot for a reason. IT IS GOING TO COME BACK TO HAUNT YOU SOONER OR LATER.
5th stage: when after all the crap you've been through, you've seen all the flaws yada yada and you're still stuck in the own little screwed up world where you put him on a pedestal, then i say there's no more hope for you. perhaps 范玮琪 ( i dunno how to type her name!) could put it across better:
是习惯,还是爱
不放心,还是不甘心
只有自己你知道解答
其实你没有那么爱他
真的不需要那么想他
其实你没有那么爱他
没有身陷到不可自拔
认清了真心话
你就放得下
yuexin says i sing this song with so much feeling. YES SO ANYONE NEED ME TO BLAST IT IN YOUR EAR I'LL GLADLY DO SO :)

to be continued! man, mingjie did you realise you took over 100+ photos? hahaha.
