Most of my friends will still be on leave from work or NS till next year. As for me, I have to go back to work tomorrow, that’s absolutely not fun.

What did I do today? I packed my room! Woohoo! One of the most rewarding feeling in the world (for as far as my life experience takes me) is packing my room. I love clean rooms. Oh, and I colour-coordinated my books! It doesn’t really seem like it in a glance because there isn’t a lot of books on the shelf. Got inspired while watching Discovery Travel & Living. And and, I rearranged my furniture back it the way it was when I first moved in and I placed back my rug.

I don’t know why..maybe it’s the new position of the shelf, it’s like the highlight of the room..I can’t stop staring at it. I made new compartments for my growing DVD and books collection, and everything is stacked up perfectly. The perfectness makes my organs do a dance…ok, that wouldn’t be a pleasant sight.

I realise I never done a new year resolution list before so I will do one for next year and place it on my wall. And, I will make a list of the things I am thankful for for this year..just so to remind myself I lived through this year.

Today is Boxing Day. Christmas was good this year. As long I have my family and friends safe and sound with me, that’s a good Christmas. I mean really, with so much mess and craziness around the world, we should be lucky most of us are sane and not killed in an accident or abducted by aliens.

I am suppose to be at M Hotel with my Temasek Poly friends right now but I got really lazy to go! :( I was leaving the house with my sister who was going Harbourfront but she cancelled her plans so I got lazy to go out of the house at 10.30pm. Oh, and it didn’t help my mother started nagging about us spending too much and not thinking about our futures and stuff…the kind mothers nag about.

So this was how my holidays went:

It started pouring on the 23rd night, the rain didn’t end till 24th night. I think it’s the first time a Christmas Eve went so cold and rainy in Singapore. The weather was…perfect for home, it was pouring the whole entire day, absolute no sunlight which was in a funny way, comforting. We had Christmas dinner at home, I made the pasta. It’s a recipe I got off marthastewart.com which was quite awesome. My sister and I bought a Osim uSqueez massenger for my parents, it came with a free mini uZap. It’s the most expensive present we ever bought for our parents. They love it, my father couldn’t stop grinning.

On 25th, my sister and I went to church, followed by lunch with the whole gang of 5o over people at Monkey’s Cafe. I hanged out with Perryn after that and went to Gramophone to rent some DVDs for our stayover.

The stayover was fun but we were quite losers, we felt asleep during a movie around 3am and never woke up till 11am the next day! We had plans to go to Mustafa and all but obviously that’s what a working life does to you…can’t sleep late anymore. We played the Singapore version of Taboo which of damn fun! The word was ‘trivia’ and Perryn said: “Something like pop quiz but doesn’t really make sense kind of thing like whether Moses have a beard kind..” We were like…what the…it was hilarious till the red wine kicked in and we got sleepy.

Came home at 3pm, slept and here I am, 11.52am..preparing to go watch some DVDs.

I really wanna go overseas for Christmas one day, like the States or something, to feel some real festive seasons mood and see snows and mistletoes and roast chestnuts over the fireplace.

I think everyone needs to once in a while write these lengthy describe your entire day entries, to remember events and days…just so we appreciate the next year better.

I am more than halfway throught into my new Twilight book. That’s pretty amazing speed I am reading at, knowing how usually I take around half a year to complete a book. But that’s not because the book is amazing, I was hopping for…more from the book.

And as the more I read, the more disappointing it gets. And so far, the book proves again - the storyline is indeed pretty shitty. I think I would have loved it if I was reading it in my Sweet Valley High books days…the romance and the hunkie boys. Now, this kind of teenager-y, childish (ok maybe can’t use childish for a vampire and human love but anyway…) romance annoy the hell out of it. Ever since I was a teenager, I am extremely impatient and frustrated with them. So was I irritated with myself? Yes I think so and don’t ask anymore about that.

Back to my point, I am also miffed (aha! note the expanding vocabulary) about the way Stephanie Meyer (author of cos) writes. I can’t stand how every single page and almost every sentence consist of how smitten Bella is when she sees Edward. I mean sure, he is suppose to be this memorizing and god-like vampire but it’s gets annoying and it repeats about how her heart skip a beat, how she can’t breathe and there’s electricity running through her. And even when they are ‘together’ that butterflies in her stomach thing still doesn’t stop.

I am kind of embarrassed to read it in public. Everytime I take the book out from my bag to read on the train, I do it in a swift action and make sure the title is cover. Especially after reading the newspaper about how the Twilight movie’s main crowd is teenagers mainly 15 or 16 and some teens have already watch it in cinema like 20 times.

Yes I know I am very conscience about this but I have to be…I already look like 15, don’t need to be mistaken to be one of  those screaming fans of Twilight.

So therefore I have concluded, I won’t read the next Twilight book, it spoils the movie for me unlike how other movies where the book is always better.

And yay, tomorrow is the start of my 5 days holiday break from work! Woooohooo, sleeps in and late nights! :)

I would say today was the worst PMS day I ever had in my life.

I was so extremely grumpy that even when someone offer help to me, I get fuming mad. Of cos I didn’t blew up at anyone, just cursing and swearing in my heart.

I know I am temperamental but never knew I was capable of such extreme grumpiness and agony. I seriously can’t imagine how I would be like when I am pregnant, I would probably kill someone with an axe.

Luckily I had a colleague that didn’t mind me whining to her the whole entire day thought Yahoo! Messenger.

And tomorrow is the last day of work for the week!!! Compulsory leave on the 24th and 26th, means a 5 days off! Yipppeeee, never felt happier about work!

So i watched Twilight yesterday.Yes I enjoyed it.

The story itself is actually not fabulous, in some ways a little silly and actually is just one of those teenage romance stories. So I would say the director and screenwriters did an extremely good job making the movie good.

So why is it good? They have managed to get damn freaking hot (Robert Pattinson of cos) and pretty (Kristen Stewart) actors and made the romance so dreamy and desirable. The whole way it was shot was really awesome too…the foresty, dark, mystery suburban/rural America. I think most girls will walk away dying to fall in love like that, with such a cannot-get-hotter Edward (the vampire), it important crucial and crucial I repeat to realise it’s Hollywood and it’s impossible to have such a perfect and I-can-survive-on-love relationship.

Robert Pattinson is real life his ot of cos but kind looks kind of weird (but weird kind of hot I would agree) but it’s the character of Edwin Cullen of the book that makes him the hottest actor around now. I think he played the character really,really, really well, so well all girls are now on a quest to find such a dreamy boyfriend (and in some cases, vampire) like him. Throughout the course of the show in the cinema, you can hear girls going ‘omg!’, ‘ahhh’ and ‘ooooh’.

The sequel to Twilight, called New Moon is already confirm and I sure will be watching it to catch some Robert Pattinson hotness. There’s four books is this Twilight story and I read the synopsis of the books, it gets shittier. Reviews of the movie says the film is a bad transition from the book.

Ok, despite all the storyline bashing I said, I caved in a bought the book from Popular. I was looking for a new book to read for my dreadful morning journey to work then I saw Twilight under ‘popular fiction’ so I got it for less than $12.

It’s Sunday, that was fast, I will have to rush a brochure tomorrow morning since I stoned the whole of Friday afternoon after the meeting. Times like these I really want to move to Forks and find a vampire and fall in love. And Kristen Stewart (Bella) turned 18 while on set. She’s only 17!! And so hot…why! WHY!

Go emo..

OT-ed the last two nights because of two new projects that just came in. I am hoping I don’t need to OT tomorrow because nothing gets more annoying and disappointing than wasting Friday nights away.

Kind lacking in updates because since I face the computer at work for more than 9 hours per day, I am damn reluctant to turn it on at home. I almost make it a point to stay away from my computer. I am updating quite a bit in my inspiration blog though, all updated during work.

I am so tired I don’t really know what I am talking about so goodnight and I love onions.

It’s been a while since I updated, been pretty lazy and tired these days. Oh, even Wordpress has a new look. It’s really different from the old one. I actually prefer the very first generation of interface actually…not that I can remember how it looks like..just remember it’s nice to use.

I went for ZoukOut this year. It was…OK. It’s just different this year…

If you purely talk about fun, last year was more fun. Why? Because I was drunk. I am not saying getting drunk is the only way to fun but come on, it’s true alcohol makes you happier and merrier than usual. It’s kind of a indecisive matter. I want to party hard, it’s once in a year..drink all I can and get wasted yet I know I really don’t want to regret doing stupid things and getting a hangover.

I barely even got high this year. I think I changed, getting drunk and wasted just isn’t..appealing anymore. It’s kind of almost like I can’t bring myself to get drunk anymore? It’s quite funny to put it this way but yeah, it kind of is like that now. While I drift off to daydream land time and again, I prefer to stay firmly on the ground and ‘real’ these days about alcohol.

It’s a long debate and I can go on and on but I shan’t.

The music was good though I feel. I think a huge part as to why it wasn’t so fun this year was that by 2pm, I was so tired I had to sit down on the sand. Yes, thanks to a office job, I feel like an old woman. Last year, I remember dancing to Steve Aoki for 3 hours non-stop (seriously non-stop). My legs was actually a world of their own dancing…I was so shacked after that but I could go on dancing. It was so exhausting yet satisfying.

And I left early this year, left around 5am. Suprisingly, I got to Harbourfront MRT and manage to get a cab. It took me 3 hours to get home from Sentosa last year.

Well yeah that was ZoukOut. I might go next year if the lineup is good but I doubt so, the partying days are quite over for me…sadly.

I have been pretty stressed the last week at work because of the Christmas cards I need to do for my boss/company. I couldn’t come out with anything solid for 2 presentations and I think my boss was pretty disappointed. However, after some encouraging words/thoughts from my colleague, I gave up on doing what he wants and did what I like. I presented today and he quite liked it…surprisingly yet again.

And that’s good, finally a heavy weight lifted off.

I bought another Oliver Jeffers’ book today called ‘The Great Paper Caper’. Again, it’s so adorable. It costed me $38.50, quite heart pain but still worth it.

And I started an inspiration blog to post whatever that inspires me.

Alright, off to bed, I am damn sleepy.

Today is Hari Raya holiday.

It hasn’t stop raining since yesterday night, it’s a perfect day to snuggle in my blanket and watch movies which was exactly what I did. In fact, it started yesterday when I woke up in the afternoon.

I have been getting quite lazy to go anywhere but home. It’s complicated. Sometimes I just want to be out to do something, yet soon I will have second thought and feel home is so much more comfortable and relax and easy.

I watched ‘Body of Lies’ with my father the other day, his first movie at the cinema in years. It was a good movie and time well spent.

I watched ‘Paprika‘ just now. It’s a Japanese anime which was orignally a novel. It’s a pretty awesome film. It really amazes me the kind of imagination someone can have to create a story that has a storyline yet it’s so unreal and out of this world..like standing on that line between reality and fiction that is really exciting.

My sister is always complaining every since she started work, she has no time for TV. I totally disagree because ever since I started work, I have been working more movies and TV than ever. I devote every Sunday for TV/DVD time. It kind of makes me feel more knowledgeable in an uncanny way.

It’s freaking me out a little that I have been thinking quite a lot recently. I always think that’s me but it’s just a lot these days. I don’t think it’s because I am doing something brainless or routine or boring..I don’t know. It feels like my mind is functioning without my body.

To wrap up this post of..(I hate to use the world ramblings) but OK..of sensible rambles, I really love this ad from Leica cameras. It’s really creative and cute.
