today.


today i had an interview at the far-off land of the Legend of The Eunos.

today i ate bk-subway-first-time-raisin-cookie with shi qi.

today i got a pink dragonfly that really stands on the tip of my fingers.
and handphone. and anywhere else for that matter.

today i got a fedex box with a pretty notebook and a giant poster and many forms to fill.

today i decided to get facebook because the fedex box asked me to.

today i had delifrance chicken pie at half price and on top of that had a nice chat by the ice skating rink with qiu yi & hui zhen.

today i laughed and today i'm not so lost.

hello alll :D!

i'm back from taiwan! It was an interesting trip, although i didnt really enjoy the first 2 days cos it just felt oddly surreal. it's like one minute we're wrapping up Fusion 2008 (aka, officially graduating) , and -blink-
WHAT, I'M IN TAIWAN ALREADY?!

i kept thinking of what i should do next, is there something i haven't done, forgot to bring? and shit, was my heart itching to check my mail. turns out i missed a few interviews, one which i didn't want to go to and one which was taken up already :( ah well.

snippets of taiwan (:
beautiful place with tons and tons and tons of mountains. u see one no matter where u go, even if you hide in ur hotel room. seriously.

(DO double click to enlarge to fully enjoy the pictures x)

this was taken at a place called Yehliu, famous for its strange rock formations, one of which looks like a queen's head and it was quite cool really.
the legend goes that He Xian Gu stopped to bath by the sea, and e Sea King was mersmerized by her, tried to grab her, failed, thus sculpted her in remembrance.

here's darling mummy and her cousin's daughter (does tat make her my cousin? i duno, but i'll just call her cousin for convenience's sake). This trip was especially different because it's my first time going on a holiday with my mum's side relatives.
I'd like to think my cantonese and mandarin has improved considerably xD the listening part at the very least.

oh! and the awesome cable car ride. I'd like to fly someday.

sun moon lake! Its really gorgeous. The water is like good jade, cool & translucent green! *_*

rotating sausages~! mmm.

bus ride. I love long bus rides with my music. Stolen was tops on the list (:
ah...graduation. shit, graduation.

love!

grandma's bridge.

wild sakura. according to our guide, these dark pink ones are the wild sakuras and the lighter ones are those planted by the japanese when they occupied taiwan in the past (:

and wow, the most beautiful part of the trip. 九份 (Jiu Fen). It's a little village up in the mountains and has the best fishballs ever. *_*

stall owner in 九份 (: hehe, so cute right

a very chatty old lady. i think she's rich.

pant! up & down the mountains for cherry blossoms!

10 things.

this started out as a post about my favorite movie posters of all time, then i read mada's blog then the post got distracted so i merged them.
so here goes :D
(break from doing work -iamnotguilty-)

10 REALLY RANDOM FACTS ABOUT ME

1. I am absolutely fascinated by dinosaurs - as a kid, i had dinosaur bedsheets, many many dinosaur books, stole my brother's dinosaur toys & have watched Jurassic park at least 10 times already.

2. I don't eat beans or any of its direct products in which the taste still lingers. Meaning no soya bean drink or red bean dessert. eew.

3. I...have constipation. o_o

4. I talk to Shi Han about poop ^^ a lot.

5. I absolutely can't stand big words. My hand phone font size is always small.

6. I have to look at new cloths at least 3 times a week. That means 'window shopping' online if i'm stuck home doing work.

7. I LOVE BITTERGUORD & LADIES' FINGERS.

8. I really like curly hair on guys xD hehe. secret fetish.

9. I nv wear sleeveless clothes cos i think i'm fat o_o.

10. I worry a lot, then dream about it. I almost always rmb my dreams and 80% of the time they're abt something scary. Oh, and nowadays i keep prayin in my dreams LOL. how odd.

9 WAYS TO WIN MY HEART
(i'm thinking besides the standard of understanding, trust, honesty blabla..)

1. Have curly hair xD

2. Be a part of my industry. no, i don't want to talk abt those random splash of colors, yes, i want to talk about how awesome tat 3d character is rigged and textured and animated and how awesome the new Louis Vuitton advertisements are. It'd be really painful if my other half has "no idea what the hell" i'm doing, and can't offer some constructive comments.

talking abt art, i shall share with all of u my favorite movie posters of all time!!!

ah, you can get sick of that handsome actor but nv sick of good composition and graphical sense. yes, movies shld sell stories not actors!
and the Manhattan typography is just lovely. you can SEE Manhattan and not just read Manhattan :D





(back to winning my heart...)
3. Love the movies I love!
like little miss sunshine :D, Jurassic Park, Forrest Gump, Pan's Labyrinth *_* ahh.

4. Pray for me :) in church, not some temple pls. lol.

5. Message me Good Morning msges :D breakfast is the most important meal of the day!

6. Be able to talk to me for hours on end on the phone!

7. Go shopping with me and not appear bored.
