a pressing issue

is it true there are no letterpress printers here?

WHY?

if you know anybody, who knows somebody who thinks they might know someone who does letterpress printing, please, please lemme know.

if not here, malaysia's the closest bet.

danke.

hmm ...

there's this trailer for some modelling show on star world where maggieq says, "only marry someone who loves you more than you do" or something like that.

i've heard that somewhere else too.

in other words, don't shortchange yourself.

but isn't it unfair for the other person? i mean he/she's probably having the same thoughts, and lo and behold, you don't love that person more than he/she loves you.
so how? he/she shouldn't marry you?
and besides, just how are you gonna know how much that person loves you?

i don't even know if i have a point here haha but i just think that it's best to just love somebody unconditionally, regardless.
true, there'll be disappointments and broken hearts but at least you gave your all.

hijacked post

we have hijacked this post.
earlier, tasha (our pet) irritatingly took our pics while we were trying to sleep on the couch.
she does this alot and it is very irritating.
how'd you like it if you are sleeping or try to sleep and your pet comes to you with a camera and insist you look into it?
we have evidence. see what we mean.


mimi was targeted first, obviously not looking too happy.


then i was targeted. i had to pretend to look abit shy and then i had a brilliant idea.


the table's turned!
how does it feel you stupid human?
serves her right. we hope she learns her lesson and not disturb us again.

over and meoooowt!!

it's official

"and you can make it last, forever you"

thirty-three
smashing pumpkins

According to the Smashing Pumpkins website:
The Smashing Pumpkins are currently writing songs for their upcoming album, their first since 2000. no release date has yet been set, but the band plans to begin recording this summer.

finally, and i'm stoked.
and oh, billy blogs too. heehee.
would love to have tea with him and pick his brain, he's amazing and has a way with words, even upped the ante by dating helena christensen (she's gorgeous!) once too.

anyway, yus started it. yes she did.
she had part of the lyrics to tonight, tonight on her msn and it got me singing and i was whisked back to circa '96.

sp has been a major, major part of my life [read: coming of age], and i think my parents must've thought their daughter dah buang tebiat. it was also hard finding girls loving sp, which kinda explains why i had more male friends. i was partial y'know, i only got to know guys who were into sp. haha.

ah, sp.
all their songs were like anthems to me.
i sing them like i recite some mantra.
they've accompanied me on long trips and at times when i just don't feel like talking to anyone with my earphones stuck in my ear and the cd on loop.

like i said, it brought me 10-12 years back, in the midst of the o'levels season, and boys. the companionship relationship lasted till 2001 - that was when my discman died and i was satisfied with playing the cds on the computer when i'm 'home' from uni instead, and we slowly parted. it didn't help that my sp kaki wasnt around with me either.

i've to admit i 'lost touch' after machina. i lost faith for awhile cos after that, they went on with their individual projects. then came zwan, same quality as sp but even with billy at the helm, it just sounded too happy for me. all i want was my smashing pumpkins - billy, james, d'arcy and jimmy.

my only regret was not being able to go see them when they were here, and giving away my copy of aeroplane flies high (a gazillion arghs!). i really should slit my wrist for that (just kidding y'all!).

the following are excerpts of some of my favourite songs in no particular order.
try identifying them and no cheating!

1. ... intoxicated with the madness, i'm in love with my sadness ...
2. ... who belongs? who decides who's crazy? ...
3. ... my angel wings are bruised and restrained ...
4. ... send this smile over to you ...
5. ... despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage ... <--- this is a giveaway!
6. ... well, i've been afraid of changing cos i've built my life around you ... <-- a fleetwood mac cover, recently covered by dixie chicks
7. ... i'm all alone, so are we all ... <-- a blondie cover
8. ... i know you better than you fake it ...
9. ... believe, believe in me ...
10. ... slit my wrists and die a whore ... <-- personal fave cos of feline title

omg.
10 already? i've still got more, but i think 10 will do for now and i haven't even included songs from machina (hint hint).

post-clubmed

the same thing always happen when i go to clubmed.
no matter which clubmed.
i always never fail to eat too much.
i so do not have self-control.
each time before going for meals, i'll tell myself, i'll have fruits and salad only.
but i'll end up eating almost everything in sight.
tsk tsk tsk.

so i told myself, okay that's it.
i'm going on a green tea, seaweed, binbin crackers and camembert cheese diet.
tomorrow.
heh.

cannot start today cos i'm going out for dinner and i doubt if they serve binbin crackers.
*nervous laughter*

but i guess it's okay cos i did manage to do yoga (yaye!) and went sailing, even though it rained quite alot and there was no wind when i was out sailing while the sun was out.
i imagined myself on a lifebuoy out at sea with no food, and only my fats to nourish me.
all the time, i kept licking my lips (cos it was salty).
so drama.
haha!
but it was tiring! i had to make sure i wasn't drifting way to far out into the sea and had to align the sails so that it'll 'catch' every bit of what little wind that's there.

so yah, yaye for me.

clubmed

i can't wait for friday. oh boy!
pa has specific instructions of leaving the house by 7am (!!) to get an early start.
which means that we'll be staying for 3 days.
which means that i'm eligible to go scuba diving (that reminds me i've to go get wetsuit from the bf).
yeah!

i solemnly swear, this time, i will not stay in the comfortable and relaxing suite and laze and watch cable, leaving the suite only for meals.
i will try some trapeze swinging.
i will go for yoga.
i will hit the gym.
i will basically get off my lazy ass and do something lah. i mean i can't possibly sleep in (getting up only for meals) the whole long weekend rite?
what i'm afraid is that i'm gonna laze with a book on the beach and fall asleep, like last year.
yikes.

think i'm gonna start stretching.
don't want my body to go into shock and come back all bruised and aching instead.

sleight of hand and twist of fate

preparations have unofficially begun.

this means that trip at the end of the year has to be scrapped.
i can't believe i'm gonna miss vienna during mozart's 250th anniversary.
crap!

part of me is reluctant procastinating even starting anything, another part of me is slowly panicking and other parts of me are willing to just sit it out and let everything flow, letting nature takes its course.
it also doesn't help that i'm super clueless.

h.e.l.p.

schools's out!

am trying not to elaborate much on my recital exam, cos i basically screwed it up BIG time.
i blanked out and forgot chunks from each of my 4 pieces.

*deeeeeeeep breath*

just be kind and pass me.
just pass me dammit!

*more deeeeeeeeep breaths*

forget it, it's done and i only have myself to blame.
bleargh!

now on to better things:
it's the start of the holidays and all i've been doing is looking up kitty cat photos on flickr.
like i dont get enough of 'em kittycats here at home. heehee.
i think i'm gonna make taking pics of stray cats in singapore a pet (pun may be intended! haha!) project for this holidays, if i can even get my lazy ass out of the house lah.
