Random ramblings

i feel like writing a longish blog today so get ready for a lotta reading!! there's pics here too so it's prettied up a little hehe

so Easter has pretty much come and gone and it's been an enjoyable few days... Good Friday was spent hanging out with Kev and watching "The Other Boleyn Girl" which i thought was quite good... then off to Julie's for a nice bitching session hehe


Easter Saturday was spent working all day in Country Road which was pretty busy... pplz always tend to go crazy shopping after a big public holiday when all the shops r shut... it's as if they've been deprived of one shopping day and they have to make up for it by doubly shopping the next day... or it could just be 'cause there's a lotta sales around hehe

went to Cath's 21st afterwards and it was so beautiful... with the whole atmosphere, i felt like i was actually at her wedding instead... even her b'day cake looked like a wedding cake!! one part of her party involved 21 of the most important guys in her life giving her a rose and dancing with her whilst 21 of the most important girls in her life made a wish for her and lighted a candle on her cake... thinking i could try and be a bit different, i wished her good health [very Chinese New Year-ish but meh hehe] and a very long, fulfilling life... as well as getting a few invites to her celebrity parties hehe and of course, by special request from everyone at the party, Cath sang a few numbers from the likes of Whitney Houston and Celine Dion... i almost forgot how beautiful her voice was until i heard her sing again... i had tears welling up in my eyes... she's really matured as a person and as a singer and i wish her every success in life... love u long time Cath and thanks for letting me be a part of ur very spesh celebration *hugglez*

after a stopover at the casino, i crashed at CC's place for the nite... even though we got home around 1ish, i didn't sleep 'til 3:30am 'cause i stayed up talking to this guy who also plays APL poker... woke up around 11:30 and after chatting on the net for a bit, CC and i had brunch b4 we started getting ready for CC's Easter Sunday dinner... CC took care of the food while i took care of the creative side of things [namely, making and decorating the Easter baskets hehe]... watched a lotta TV b4 pplz started showing up and after what seemed like eternity, we got to the dinner table and we all got to make and eat rice paper rolls as well as eat some nice Sara Lee cheesecake... also played a pretty fun game of Cranium, went on a late nite Easter egg hunt around CC's front and backyard and played poker whilst watching "300"... i won $3 in the end w00t w00t thanks to CC for letting me crash and for organising this splendid gathering and to Taiki for driving me home... and so sorry for getting u a little lost hehe

my plans for the rest of my holz? 2 more b'day parties, work, study for my PSYC2010 exam, research for my LAWS3111 assignment and gym... and hopefully i get to slot in some time to get my hair done as well... i haven't done anything to my hair for nearly 6 months now!!

and to live up to the name of today's blog, here r some random ramblings:
~ normally i don't ever remember my dreams but last nite, i had a dream that me and Mr Sparkle were a couple... even though i've never talked to the guy in my life and i've only ever seen him 3 times, the feeling i got after i woke up today was really nice and it put a big smile on my face... it's been a while since i've felt that way... and b4 i get bombarded with msgs of "OMG, who is this Mr Sparkle?! u've never told me about him" etc etc, i don't like him nor do i have a crush on him =P

~ a thought crossed my mind today as i was checking my facebook... for those of u who dunno, facebook's recently updated their privacy settings allowing us to control who sees what on our profiles... i dunno about other pplz but it's things like this that make me think that nobody trusts anyone anymore... and it's a little ironic 'cause we kinda put it on ourselves... we risk trusting other pplz, they lose the trust and 'cause of that, we get wary and cautious of pplz we know now and in the future... i just find it quite sad... then again, who am i to talk?! i trust very few pplz nowadays

~ just finished watching ep 17 of 最美麗的第七天 and the situations r so sad... after watching it, i'm REALLY hoping there's at least one happy ending here... especially for TVB Mr Sparkle and Niki... they've done so much for each other... [SPOILERS AHEAD...] she went all across Japan to look for him and stayed by his side even though she was sick and he bought her all 4 commitment rings and even designed her dream house... [END OF SPOILERS] it's just really, really, ridiculously sweet *sighs* btw Beckie, TVB Mr Sparkle's real name is 鄭嘉穎 [Kevin Cheng] hehe

~ i had a look at some of the personality traits of my birth month and a few of them were quite intriguing...
