Goodbye my friend...

A few days back, a friend lost his life in a car accident. When something like this happens, you can't help but feel a bit lost inside with emotions. Denial, sadness, uncertainty... it's all pretty hard to handle. If anything, I'd like to dedicate this blog to him and send him one of my final well wishes.

Most of my memories with Jeremy were during our days at Myer. He worked in menswear, I worked in ladieswear but we always managed to cross paths during our shifts. I remember so many times we'd talk for ages about things and then have to run off 'cause we were both afraid of getting into trouble. He'd always be getting up to mischief but he had such a great heart. Great sense of humour, cute smile, always so warm and friendly to everyone he knew. It saddened me when he quit work to focus on his med studies but I always knew he'd destined for great things. The last time I saw him was a few months ago when he came to visit work to see how everyone was doing. If I knew it was the last time I'd see him, I would've given him a great, big hug and told him what a great person he was and how grateful I am for having known him.

You were too young to be taken away. I'll always cherish the memories we had and remember all the good times. I'll miss you dearly. Rest in peace Jeremy.


Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple.
Sometimes goodbye's the only way...

Anti-social butterfly?

On the home stretch of exam mode. 2ish days left and it's all over for another year. Wish I could say it's all over once and for all but things just don't go as planned sometimes. Oh well.

So I've been in hermit mode for over a month already and it feels like routine now. Sure, I come out for the occasional gathering but I don't feel this urge to go out anymore. Once I finish exams, all I feel like doing is spend more time with myself catching up on all my [non-uni-related] reading, my TV shows, my K-dramas, my TVB series and movies. I also wanna lie on the grass somewhere and spend the day looking up at the sky with nothing but my music and any passing thoughts.

Is the social butterfly becoming a hermit crab? I guess we'll see in the next week...

In other news, I'm loving The Script's new album. I'm falling more and more in love with their music. I dunno why but their lyrics really get to me.


The blissful highs...
You won't find faith or hope down a telescope
You won't find heart and soul in the stars

You can break everything, down to chemicals
But
you can't explain a love like ours.


It's the way we feel, yeah this is real.

The agonising lows...
I know that I'm drunk but I'll say the words,
And she'll listen this time even though they're slurred,
So I dialed her number and confessed to her,

I'm still in love but all I heard was nothing

She said nothing

Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
.

Can't wait to see you guys on the 10th of April. In the meantime, you'll be singing to me on my iTunes.

These are a few of my favourite things...

It's been a fair while since I've posted a blog with loads of photos. Since I haven't photowhored lately, let me share with my dear audience a few of my favourite things at the moment. No raindrops on roses, whiskers on kittens, bright copper kettles, warm woollen mittens or brown paper packages tied up with strings here. Go watch 'The Sound of Music' for that, you weirdo hehe

1. Funny printed tees. I think I've bought like 6 printed tees in the last month. Wanna buy more!! Here's a personal fave that I so wanna buy but most likely wouldn't wear in public.


2. OPI nail polish. I'm so running out to buy some more once I finish exams as a gift to myself. I'm thinking of buying this shade next. Ooh, glittery green!! ^__^


3. Rock music. Currently got the 'Triple J Hottest 100 of All Time, 2009' on repeat right now. I know not all the songs on that list are rock, but meh, it's a pretty good mix of old and new songs.

4. Korean dramas. Re-watching 'Boys over Flowers' and gonna finish off re-reading 'Conversations Between Us' soon enough. Lee Min Ho, you'll be in my dreams tonight and all throughout my exams.


5. Grain Waves. My study snack food of choice. The Sour Cream and Chives flavour is to freakin' die for. Probably one of the only snack foods I'm willing to pay full price for at the supermarkets.


6. Futurama. FINALLY getting around to watching the movies and now I wanna watch the whole series again. Loving it so much that I have the remixed theme song as one of my ringtones now!!


OK, enough 'sharing is caring' time. Need to finish this submission once and for all and get back to study. SIGH.
