half the prom com with Daryl, superman singer ( the one in the middle) . Thank you for the picture =)
eh MR EN LIN.. why do i look better with normal laozha cameras and not as good with your canggih 22nd century camera? pfft.
note: I don't know why I'm standing so senget. I think I was a bit woozy and my head was throbbing real bad from dancing near a gargantuan speaker the whole night. And I remember being very tired as well from dancing in a tight mob on the dance floor. Was sweating like a pig being roasted over a fire ( when we were dancing. not when this picture was taken. I'm not that gross lah)
this is why my dad is the bestest in the world, hands down.
many weeks ago, I sent him these two pictures via mms.
Germaine was brandishing this box of Wonka Nerds in class and I was very jealous wtg, as it's only available in Singapore (or very hard to find in Malaysia). So I took pics and sent them to my dad who's in Singapore immediately.
I instantly forgot about that soon after cos I have a mind like a sieve.
But just this weekend, after almost a month of me sending those pics, my dad came back, hollered a hearty "JIA WEIIII, I"VE GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU!!!", waved around a 7-11 plastic bag, and dropped this into my hands...
It's nothing much. Only worth S$ 1+ per pack, but the fact that he actually remembered, after so long, and took the time and effort to get it for me, means the world to me.
not knowing what NERDS were, he took to showing the picture I sent him to the cashier at 7-11, asking if they sell this (jabs at the picture on his handphone). =,)
UPDATE: I just got the coolestesttesttest mp3 player thingymajiggy!!! It's on your left, the mini Ipod!!

ps: thanks SHERLYN, i got it from your blog teehee.
aiya and I'm not feeling all downcast and sullen anymore. hence the totally different tone of this update as compared to the post about bears.
Langkawi Dec 2007
...One year ago on my 17th birthday, someone very important, very lovely, gave me one of the best birthday gifts i've ever had. I never really understood just how important a role it would come to play in my life later on.
You know, a soft toy is just that... A soft toy. It may be pink and have the words "love you" printed on its two feet, with a ribbon tied around its neck, delivered into my hands in a giant , colourful, HAPPY BIRTHDAY paper bag... but it's still just that - an average soft toy.
I didn't really feel the need for it at first. Honestly, the first thought that came into my mind upon seeing it was "Oh, another soft toy. Not special at all" .I thought it took up too much space on my modest super single bed. And after all, I had my trusty bolster. what woulld I need this huge bear for? It's not very comfortable to hug either.
I couldn't bear to kick him onto the floor. (yes, my bear is pink but its a HE) so I just started sleeping in that way, with my bolster on my right and teddy on my left. It was crampy and uncomfortable and I seldom hugged the bear. Many days went by, with me sleeping between the bolster and the bear.
Taiping Dec 2007
I don't remember just when, at what particular point, did I start hugging the bear more and more often. What's more, being sandwiched between the two objects created a comfy feeling of security that I never noticed was missing before, but now that it's here, I can't imagine how I ever slept without something to hug and something else to have my back (I sleep sideways, and the bolster is always against my back).
Months passed, a year passed. I now realise that I cannot sleep without the bear anymore... I tried a couple of times especially when I'm mad at the person who gave me the bear... I threw him onto the floor and defiantly held on to my bolster...
But I always ended up picking him back up, apologising, and going to sleep in comfort , blanketed with security. Suddenly, that bear became my main source of comfort. I even brought him on trips to Langkawi, back to my home town... wherever I could bring him, I did. If I could have checked him in at the airport, I'd have brought him to Hong Kong as well. Except my parents asked me to leave him behind or STAY behind.
I know it sounds silly, but it almost felt as though I was bringing him along to enjoy the sights and sounds, to see through those plastic eyes, to feel with his fur-claded skin, to taste with that sewn on mouth that never opens and only smile, to hear with his cloth ears, to smell the enticing scents of the beach, the surf, scrumptious food, the sea breeze, with that triangular plastic nose... Every trip just seemed more enjoyable with him along.
Packing for Langkawi Dec 2007
Yesterday, I realised that, you know what? I cannot depend on that bear forever. Sooner or later I'll have adapt to life without that bear.
Determinedly, I pushed him away from me, turned my back on him and hugged my bolster. Back to the times before i ever had this bear. I couldn't bear it (forgive the pun), there was this immense feeling of vulnerability as I colud feel nothing behind my back, just emptiness. I wasn't afraid of ghosts of any of that sort. I just felt.. so very vulnerable. It's like my personal security system has been swtiched off and is leaving me an open target (to what, I do not know).
I tossed and turned a great deal yesterday night.
And ended up sleeping on my back, just so I could feel something solid against my back. But still, there was nothing on my left. There was no nice, cosy, sandwiched feeling...
I don't know how to explain it exactly, but it just felt so wrong.
And again i wondered...
How on earth did I ever go to sleep with only my bolster by my side??
Today morning I woke up to find the teddy on the floor.. On the right side of the floor. Which is odd, since I placed him on the left side of my bed, untouched, yesterday night.
Which left me thinking.. Did i unintentionally hugged it in the middle of the night and perhaps subconciously realised this and flung him down in defiance?
I don't know.
All I know is.. It's time I learn to go back to being the way I was. To sleeping without that bear. All I have to do is just readapt. That's possible, right? After all, I adapted to having him in my bed a year and a half ago.. I can most definitely un-adapt myself. Right?
Cos I recently realised that...
I cannot depend on him to have my back anymore. There's just too much in the way, no? time, effort, this and that. Not that he isn't the bestest gift ever. It's just that... times change. Priorities shift... tit-a-tat...
It's tough, but I'll make it. I'll stand on my own two feet again. I'll have my own back. Just like old times. Heck, I'm already halfway there

UPDATE: long ago KL PAC pictures.
for the above pic, I need to justify my awkward kangkang pose. I was slapping at mosquitoes about seconds before this was taken. Yi Ming yelled "JIA WEI! Take picture!! and I simply glanced up, legs kangkang, hence the ugly posture and funny face.

ps: PL2 students. feel free to take the pics, though most of you already have it. I daren't resize it for fear it'll end up too stretched.
Before that, I'm apologising to anybody who tagged me whose tag I did not do. I've been quite busy, hence lack of time to go blog hopping =). But those that i DO see, I will do.(most probably. Unless I've done it before or I find it boring wtg)
RULE1. People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs and replace any question that they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves..
RULE 2. Tag 5 people to do this quiz and those who are tagged cannot refuse. These people must state who they were tagged by and cannot tag the person whom they were tagged by continue this game by sending it to other people
Person who tagged me : LING YI. Link on your left. Under KYLIE or LING YI , i forgot. =)
1. If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be? -If he had the heart to betray me and he's my supposed "lover", he does not warrant any kind of reaction from me. I'll forget him in a snap and move on to better things and a better life, waving goodbye to him with a smirk, knowing his life will never be better than mine.
2. If you can have a dream to come true, what would it be? -To achieve something significant, to be happy and contented, for the world to be happy, for there to be no starvation, poverty, sorrow, or suffering.
3. Whose butt would you like to kick? -Okay, I have a confession. I don't feel like kicking , only slapping people's butt or smacking. Whenever i walk up the stairs and the person in front of me has his/her ass in my face, I have this huge urge to just give that big butt a wallop, sending the person running up and not waddling like a duck.
4. What would you do with a billion dollars? -donate 70% to causes I find worthwhile. Do my best with that 70% to ensure that I maximise its use and save as many people as I can. Invest 20% and use the interests or profits to fund other charities. The last 10% , I will use personally.
5. What is so nice about ur lover? -I'd say its nice to have someone to love and to have someone love u back and care for u in return.
6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone? -both are an equal blessing
7. How long do you intend to wait for someone you really love? -I believe that there is no definite answer to this. You wait as long as you want. And when that period of waiting is over, you move on.
8. If the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do? -Just be there for him, be a friend, and if we are meant to be he will eventually drift to my side. And if not, find another fish to hook.
9. Is there anything that has made you extremely happy? -The simplest things in life make me happy. Good food, great friends, seeing the same carplate twice, feeding a stray cat. But EXTREMELY happy, is to feel loved and be showered bu hugs and kisses, to spend unforgettable moments with unforgettable friends.
10. What takes you down the fastest? -jealousy
11. How would you see yourself in ten years time? -In ten years, I'd like to have achieved significant success and wealth, to have carved out a happy life, to have done a few things on my to-do list, to have bungee-jumped, to have swam alongside dolphins, to have leaped from a plane... to have travelled around..
12. Who is currently the most important people to you? - My family, my loved ones, my friends and all the people in my life worth caring about. (note: those I do not care for, I'm too lazy to layan anyways)

15. What's the first thing you do when you wake up? -My mind races to recall what day of the week it is, whether I have anything important to complete, or if I'm late for school. haha.
16. Would you give all in a relationship? - I will. but sometimes, I believe there are situations in which giving all may not be the best choice.
17. If you fall in love with two people simultaneously, who would you pick? - I will pick the person who can ensure my happiness. It's not material things that I want. It's the happiness that comes from being cared for, being treated right and being loved.
18. What type of people do you hate? - Those who play "love" as a game, hurting others and boasting about their "conquests"

Hope that made you smile as it made me. I have plenty more pictures to put up so I have plenty of material to blog about
And I just got back from college (approx 10 mins ago). Stayed back to study for Econs tomorrow. Last paper. Thank the Lord.
Law today was almost too good to expect. I studied 4 out of 20 chapters. The 4 chapters I studied allowed me to answer the entire paper. I must start believing now.
And I don't know how I managed, but i wrote 10 pages for Literature. 5 pages for each essay. I think my right arm has developed muscles.
I'm too beat to do anything now, but I still have to study for Econs. Then, I can crash and burn.
WIsh me luck, give me yours, I need it more than you do. teehee.
