across the straits.

I have officially stepped foot in Singapore!

See, I've been to Orchard Road now :D

.

For those who have a brief idea of why I made that statement, it gives you no reason to diss me anymore! :D Hee! Yes yes, I have been to Singapore (Like finally!) and now am back in KL.

.

I totally enjoyed myself and yay, I've been to Singapore! It was a good three-day getaway and I had so much fun with the girls. Oh, we met up with Jan! :D Hehe, well the company definitely made this trip memorable :) I came back with both legs aching from too much walking around and such, but it was all worth while.
.

Shopaholics on the loose!

The shopping bags.

Six bags is quite deceiving..

.

Sunday service - City Harvest.

Shopping overload.

All smiles! :D

Going home.

My Singapore trip finally materialized!

.

Hehe, not forgetting, the awesome experience of making my own cotton candy yo! ;) At least now I know if I would not end up with a proper job later on in life, I could do well as a cotton candy woman. Hahaha, not that funny.
.

Okay, now about the Euro 08' Finals - I'm a tad bit disappointed with Germany's loss with Spain. However, I kinda expected it as Germany's performance throughout Euro 08' was pretty much inconsistent. So yeah, I did expect Spain to win it anyhow. I have to admit that Torres' goal was a good one :) Oh well, life goes on folks! Ahaks, at least I had a fun time in Singapore. :D

Had lunch with Jon, Jovy, Ken and Dmay after class today and it was fun :) They're still the same whacky friends! :)

.

On the 28th of June..

.

Lauranne turned eighteen!

Blessed hatchday, Lauranne! :)

.

This birthday post is pretty delayed cos' I've been away from the comp! But it's never too late to wish you a belated birthday, huh? Hehe. I've been thinking of how long I've known you and it seems like forever. Haha, since the BU church huh? Plus those kiddy memories I've got back in the choir room. Hehe, I shall not go into details now. Too embarrasing. Well, it's been a long way from then and now, you have really grown so so much! :) You have blessed me in your own subtle ways and I'm sure you've blessed others as well. Continue to be that bright girl you are in everything you do.

Much much love :)

.

And today, the 30th of June..

.

Atul turns nineteen!

Happy happy birthday babee! ♥

.

Omg, you're nineteen already! Hehe I am so proud of you! Life is definitely not the same without you. You've made my high school days super psychotic, kankan? Haha, from being such crackos to panicking and studying till midnight during SPM. It's amazing how our friendship lasted from primary school though it diverted a bit during our lower sec days but now, we're so tight! :D Our toilet trips with Yaya, tuition with Mr. Razazu, Daim chocs ;) and so many more! Cupcakes, babe! Hehe, I lovelove you so much la! :) Hope you'd have a blast with Zamir. Hopefully he remembers *grin* Hehe.

Muah muaah!

.

*********

.

I've still not recovered from my lack of sleep for the past three days or so. Some ulcers on my lips and the inside my mouth isn't helping either. Oh well, I need rest.

Alright then, bye all! :)

two cortez-es.

I'm kinda getting a hold of my workload now :) Made a schedule and if I do stick to it, everything will be smooth-sailing from now on. Haha, I hope. Note that my sem's gonna end so one can just imagine the amount of due dates I gotta meet for the next one month till the finals. And the schedule for the finals are OUT! Yeah, you heard me right, its out, and my midterms just ended like last week. Shrugs.

This week's gonna be a pretty hectic week - Filled with dates with my girlfriends *grin* A getaway throughout the weekend, girly-time with Cass and Lyds (love them both muchos!), and so much more! :D Yeah, not forgetting the various assignments as well. Hee, but it'll all be okay I hope *hopeful smile*

And a pic that I really do like ;
.

Enough said-

:)

.

Oh, how can I forget something that's really got my adrenaline pumping - the match between Germany and Turkey! Tomorrow! Okay, actually Thursday but yea, hehe. I'm excited and definitely full of jitters! Yes, I'm gonna be staying up! =)

.

nightmare.

I had the roughest afternoon (Which explains the post title - Nightmare) by far and I shall forget everything like now. I won't be talking about it anyway, heh.

On a brighter note, its Chloe's eighteenth!

.

A blessed and happy eighteenth, Chloe!

I'm not that close to you but I'm still gonna wish you. Hehe.

Well it was really nice meeting you and having a lil chit chat some time back.

You remind me very much of Lauranne, though.

Haha. But yea, it is really good seeing you in youth

and continue to be a blessing to the many others out there :)

Hope you had a blast on your hatchday!

Much love*

.
.

There is this random pic we took at youth last Saturday ;

.

It's pretty funny and my head looks distorted.

.

I went back for classes today and it was terrible. A big sigh to that okay. A whole load of work just came on upon me today and I'm struggling to keep up with all of it. Not only that, I came to know of a quiz that is just tomorrow! How brilliant, huh? Last minute revision is so stressful. And yet, I'm still procrastinating. Bleh, oh well!

.

Well, I'm really looking forward to the end of this week! :)

.

I need coffee now.

horse-back.

Hello all!
.

Yeah, I kinda just got home after a long and tiring, but fun day. Well I watched Made of Honor today and I pretty much like it. It's a better movie compared to 27 Dresses, most definitely. Uh-huh! It's a happy show with a happy ending la, very predictable. Anyhow, it's nice. :) I gotta admit that Patrick Dempsey is charming. *grin* Cliche' but I like the whole Tom rushing to the church on horse-back scene. Heee, it's so sweet how he goes all out just to get what he wants that he's afraid of losing, hmm :)

.

Charming, huh? ;)

.

I'm gonna be seeing Lyds tmrw! Oh wait, it's already Saturday so that simply means, its today! :D Hehe.

.

I've got a gut feeling that I'm gonna fall sick soon so yea, I'm gonna sleep now.

.

Goodnight everyone :)

.

semi's.

Germany's through to the semi's!

Another reason for everyone to say YAY!

They beat Portugal by a 3-2 win. Huha!

Goals by my Schweinsteiger, Klose and Ballack. Hee. *big grin*

Awesome la, simply awesome. I'm happy :D

And so it seems to be a very good day for me right now :) Haha.

Enjoy your weekend, everyone!

the other's back.

Everybody say YAY!

Lydia Pathmanathan is back, alright! YAY! *jumps around* You have absolutely no idea how happy I am right now. Hehe.

.

Her text message went something like this ;

Lydia : Guess who's back? :)

Sarah : OMG you are BACK! YAY YAY YAY! I missed you soooo much.

Lydia : Spam and eggs, cupcakes, waxing, baskins, sleepovers! CAN'T WAIT! *insert laughing emote*

Haha, so you can kinda picture how the rest of our convo went ;) Hehe.

Anyhow, the Germany - Portugal match is on later in the morning. Doubt I'm gonna wake up for it, got a pretty long day ahead of me tmrw. Oh well! I'll just stay tuned to www.livescore.com Haha. *grin* In all honesty, I'm worried about the match. Sigh. *shudders*

Okay then, I'm off for the night! :)

a phase.

She said..

"It's just a passing phase.

Just hang on.

Else you'd regret it."

.

quarterfinals.

Germany won Austria 1-0. I'm a happy girl. Hehe. Good goal, Ballack! :) Though it was pretty funny that both coaches got sent to the stand. But the good news of their win totally made my day this morning. Hee, no wonder the sky was so bright and sunny.

.

I'm almost done with my midterms, only one paper left! I had both Business and Microecons just this afternoon and it was alright, I guess. Tomorrow's another killer paper - Critical Thinking Skills. Yeah, it sounds pretty retarded but trust me, it really is a tough paper. Heh.

.

And huha! I got Nike vouchers from a survey today. Not only the vouchers but good food at The Apartment. *grin*

.

I feel so relaxed already in spite of having another paper tomorrow but oh well, I gotta head back to the books soon enough else I'll end up crying tomorrow after the paper.

.

Anyhow, YAY again that Germany won! They're in the quarterfinals! Well, they're playing against Portugal the next match and I must admit that I'm quite doubtful *shudders* We'll see, we'll see.

It's gonna be a good match nevertheless. Hmm.

.

My second-degree of addiction.

Cos' first is simply coffee ;p

I've been hooked on to this since this year.
.

Okay then, this is all for now! Byee everyone :)

.

reunion.

Just last night, the AIM team of 07' gathered for a reunion :) After much fickled plannings and changes, we finally made it! However not the whole group made it, but almost all. A majority, at least. We settled for Uncle R's instead of the usual porridge steamboat in Subang. Nevertheless, the food was yummy! Not to mention, it was my very first time there. Haha.

.

Almost all. :)

Being us, haha.

Lovelove.

Sophieee!

The opaque one? Nah, not anymore :)

Pretending like nothing's happening. *grin*

A friend in need is a friend indeed :)

:)

Alright then, I'm off to more studying now. Bye all!

spike.

So I stayed up for the Germany-Croatia match and I'm greatly disappointed. Rawrr. Germany didn't play well but it was a good goal from Podolski at the 79th minute. Anyhow, Croatia won 2-1. Bleh. Schweinsteiger got a red card. Sigh, sigh and more sigh.

.

On a brighter note, not only is it Lahm and Sebastian Kehl that caught my attention but now, Schweinsteiger as well. Haha. His new hairdo reminds me of Spike from Buffy the Vampire slayer. I like, very very much. *grin*

.

And it happens to be Friday the 13th, be very afraid! Haha, rings any bell of bad luck or some sorta thing? Boo, prolly that's why Germany lost to Croatia. *gasp* Sigh. :(

.

I'm gonna sleep my disappointment off now, nights everyone!

*forces a smile*

.

nerdiness.

I came home, browsed through a few friends' blog and I stumbled on something that really caught my attention. Haha. A nerd test to see how nerdy you are! How amazing is that? :D

Haha, I find it really amusing. So I'm quite a nerd after all or at least I want to think so. *grin* With this new 'incentive', I'm gonna go study now. Can you believe it? My midterms start this Saturday and I'm still so laid back about it. This is not good at all. Honestly, I'm pretty disappointed with myself. Sigh. Well, I'm gonna pull myself up now and start studying what I can! :)

Randomly, I've decided to take a few steps back and to see how everything goes :) I think I can handle it now. Hehe. Oh and I do enjoy college more nowadays. Hehehe. Love my friends la! Well, Cass really brightens up my life so so much :) Almost inseparable but separable, get it? Simon and Steven simply cracks me up. Haha.

Zion's missing.

A-turrr. ;)

kit kat.

A blessed and happy eighteenth, Katrinaaa :)

.

You've finally hit eighteen! Now don't get all naughty and stuff alright? Ahaks. I hope you had a blast on your special day. Its been really amazing and hillarious knowing you for quite some years now - since school and now, college. Know that you've been a blessing and you've been a sweetheart throughout. Your occasional "are you okay?(s) and how are you?(s)" are very encouraging. :) Continue to grow closer to God and He'll bless you as you have been such a blessing to many.

.

Much loveee!

p/s: I couldn't find a good-enough pic of us so yea, no pic. Haha. ;)

.

.

and oh, YAY!

GERMANY WON 2-nil :D

found.

It took me a while to get myself out of this pit and I am more than happy to say that I'm finally out of it, at least I believe so. I gotta admit that it was the darkest and worst period I've gone through cos' nothing seemed to be working out and I even lost sight of Him. I gave up and felt depressed and all I could do was drown all the more. I had no intentions on getting back up or finding my way out until I woke up this morning. I've gone through a whole week filled with sleepless nights - thinking and thinking about everything which caused me to be gloomy than ever. Though there are things that are still tugging at me but I believe that it's all gonna get better from today onwards. Its hard but I guess I'll be fine, soon enough.

I'm back to a point where all I can say is that faith matters and it matters the most. It's all about being humble and coming back to Him despite everything that has happened in the past and has been happening. Life's all about choices and it is up to ourselves to make that decision and no one else.

.

I've finally found myself in God again and I'm really thankful. :)

wishful thinking.

Imma fan of wishful thinking. Some say its not good and some otherwise. I say, its alright. On the other hand, it isn't healthy at all but at times or most times, you really can't help but totally believe in wishful thinking.

It takes at least a cup of coffee to complete my week. Well, I've not reached the 'a cup a day' mark as yet and I definitely don't intend to. However it is for sure that coffee sure does make my world a better place each day. Nescafe' is too diluted but works as a good substitute for Starbucks which so obviously burns my pocket till there's absolutely nothing left. Awesome, huh.

It is already Week 6 in the sem and midterms are just two weeks away. Assignments just keep coming, not allowing me any time to breathe at all. Anyhow, I've got heaps to do and to revise and plans just keep popping out which adds to the already uncountable amount of distractions I've got along the way. *grins*

I still have not really found myself as yet. Am in the midst of searching, searching and it's still the same.

tiny.

A happy happy hatchday, Shaira-yaya! ♥

.

Omg babe, you are nineteen already!

Hehe, such a contradiction to your size, ahem!

Hehe. Why do you have to go back to Lembah Beringin laaa?

Its your birthday hun! Rawwr.

But yeah, hopefully next week okay? Our date is set :D

I love you soooo much!

.

Since I've gotten closer, much much closer to you in like form 4,

Life has been colorful!

Yea you made my life more colorful, Yaya. Hehe ;)

.

All we've been through,

The stress that got us through school,

The little embarrassing moments we had back then -

Simply classic kankan?

I can still remember clearly about Mcdonald's *cough*

Anyhoo, we'll meet up and have a great hatchday sayang :)

.

.

And yes, I'm still lost..
