ytd i went up the ECP!!! finally :D to get the pictures i've always wanted! but alas, my shaky hands spoilt many of them, so i'll just let you see those that are sliiiightly better x)

as we slowly walked our way up, we see this huge construction area. like ooh o_o, it looks almost out of some thriller or jet li movie, and somewhere down there in the darkness bad guy/monster is lurking. drug deals maybe x)?
up a little more, and...you see pretty flowers on trees *_* (they don't belong there though)

16km please!

:)

whoops, slanted =x



sunset! ok, i admit i tweaked it with photoshop. haha! cos the colors then were so washed out T_T like it had just rained, so so so... x) i like photoshop!

whenever we drove pass the ECP to go to our church at Marine Parade in the past, my siblings and i will squeel "Dinosaurs!!!!!!!" and crouch down on the seats. LOL. now i know better. they're called cranes. lol.

i realise shi han's teeth look like a vampire and my specs are crooked -_-

the merlion!


...on the highway...


...below the highway...

empty roads look nice

and i tot this road looked cool! slow slow slow x2

and yeap, tats abt it :D i'll go up again one day without taking caffeine, then maybe my hands won't shake so much. lol. cheers! x)
___________________________________________________________

as for today, had a wonderful walk-and-talk session with xm, ah pang, kl, meiyin, hz and aud!!! x) :D xD :)

(note: new links!)

i forgot to say, miami vice sucks. don't watch it. the action is thoroughly disappointing and the dialogue minimal and confined to colin farrell's scrowlling face. just don't watch it.

DC comics! :D ...i was really bored on friday. totally terribly bored
...until superman came and saved my day.

what can i do
when i'm stuck inbetween
i say again, we are such fools
breaks are never clean
i keep my cool but,
when i'm silent you'll see
how it weens, leans to the right

because there's nothing left.

i'm not sure if i'm allowed to do this, but here's a piece of deviant that i really like and thought it'd be nice to share! it was like a winning piece of good-morning message to start my saturday just right :D. it's by luminatii from deviantart (it's not mine it's not mine don't sue me its not mine)
absolutely brilliant! i love it :D


...Yours is the first face that I saw
Think I was blind before I met you
I don't know where I am
I don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go
So I thought I'd let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realized that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home

Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange
You said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up
And you said,
This is the first day of my life,
Glad I didn't die before I met you
But now I don't care I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably be happy.

So if you wanna be with me
With these things there's no telling
We just have to wait and see
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery

Besides maybe this time it's different
I mean I really think you like me...

Mraz inspires me, lol:

After
An afternoon with you
Oh, I'd give you a dollar
If you'd buy yourself a clue
Sleeves talk
But we are such fools
I am going to deny myself now
Drop my eyes low
As I will away damned crows
I mustn't get lost
Again
This afternoon
Even as it's taboo I croon
I know
Give me an afternoon
An afternoon with me
Before you
After me.

you know u're a coffee junkie when...

yesterday, i dreamt i was having coffee flavored...cigar.
it tasted so good. it's like puffing your own lungs up with that comforting coffee fragrance, i couldn't stop. then suddenly this really tall guy (i was about as tall as his waist) came and snatched it away. desperate as i was, i climbed up him like i would a coconut tree and grabbed it back.

then i hid myself in a corner, faced an empty cupboard that had its doors open and puffed till all the air was just coffee and nothing else.
funny dreams, i have :S

come, everyone! pick up your papers and read! it's a really good read today, and it makes you want to go take this train ride to the top of the world, alone or not, and take a million pictures and say thank you to the railway workers who so unselfishly built this railway.

and let us all be like this. i think it's such a great calling to serve people who truly need us. we don't really need so much money. truly.

MCQ of the day
I have:

1. No Courage
2. Too Much Logic
3. Legs that run off too fast
4. No brain to make a decision

pick one.

what popped up on tuesday night:

I wonder if these things are weighing down your mind too

Now there, it's indescribable,
Because it's not just a simple verb.

More than voiced rejection
More than overlooking professions

More strings attached than I can count
More than all the other extras that are together bound

More than a clueless two
More than what I wish I could do

I wonder if these things are weighing down your mind too

the beat that my heart skipped.

i wanna watch that.

right now, i weigh like, 5 grams. haha!
