A day less

One more day.

3 hours.

I'll be 23.

Fuck, I feel old.

Aged.

I haven't been genuinely happy in a long time

Why?

In love with life

Why go to places far away?

Why wake up to see the sun rise?

Why swim in the lake?

Why wiggle my toes in the sand?

Why breathe in crisp, cool morning air?

Why cuddle up with children?

Why piggyback rides?

Why walk barefoot in the rain?

Why set off fireworks?

Why sit on the swing?

Why hug?

Why listen to thunderstorms?

Why keep childhood toys?

Why romp about in mud?

Why pixies?

Why take pictures?

Why laugh?

Why learn?

Why skip?

Why doodle?

Why indulge?

Because.

In love with life.

My Happy Meal

There was a small piece of paper you gave me last year.

In a pretty shade of purple.

Lavender, maybe. I don't know.

I found a handmade necklace inside. Turquoise, quartz. Semi precious stones.

All wrapped in paper that had ants crawling all over it. Ants here and there.

"You're my cotton cloud, my Happy Meal."

I loved that necklace. I still do.

But I never wore it.

Dangly things at my neck make me nervous. They highlight my collarbone.

Maybe this year I'll remove my shamrock pendant and wear that pretty necklace you gave me.

I can risk not feeling lucky for a day.

After all, I was a Happy Meal once.

Back at work again

I know I've promised to post up Part 2, I know I've promised.

But I'm reduced to blogging from the office eMac again.

Sigh.

Whatever.

Kong Hei Fatt Choy everyone =)

CNY 2006 Penang Road Trip Pt. 1

I'm back from my CNY holidays and I've got a crapload of pictures to blog with.

One gripe, though, most pictures aren't mine.

Ternyatalah, I'm the person who works behind the camera and not in front of it.

Hrmmph.

Part 1 goes here.

It was exactly 3.40 am when I was awakened by the incessant ringing of my mobile phone. It was Elaine. "Babe, wake up. We should leave now. I can't sleep. I'm coming to pick you up now alright?" *click*

Needless to say, we got to Penang many, many hours ahead of schedule (not like we scheduled anything to begin with, anyway). And it was a glorious day~

Met up with the Penang sakai, who made us wait for 3 hours for breakfast. We both would've died just waiting for her. I swear.

Elaine took a nap while Emily and I caught up in the hotel room. And then it was off to the beach we go~ *skipskipfrolickfrolick* See, beautiful day? See?!

First things first. Camwhore. And then sunblock/suntan oil/beach blanket/hunk watch. Camwhore.

PS. As I have a whole crapload of pictures to blog with, I shall ration it to only 5 a day *evil cackle*. You wanna see, you wait loh!
