A record of you, me, us and all the days we've left together. I pen them down because I want to remember every detail and appreciate all that I have while they're still there. You never know when everything slips past your fingers. Change is constant. People come, people go. Nothing you do stops the world from moving forward. Don't take things for granted. Take chances. Live for today, we'll dream for a tomorrow.

You never wanted to stay well, do you?

Loving iced latte ;)
















It's a really neat place with a white mansion feel. Trisha decided on this place!
Since we arrived with empty stomachs and it was around tea time then, we ordered a little too much, really. Pizza (which wasn't as small as we thought it would be), spicy chicken wings and club sandwich! They're not stingy with their servings at all and we ate to our fill. Overate, probably.

We moved to the bar at the second lobbywith the staff's assistance when the skies got darker.









Before.



After.

We had to play some lame number game to finish our pizza lol. Yes we were that full but the food was reaaaaally good. I think I'll go back there again for their yummy sandwich *slurps*

After our meal, we started on our still life drawing inside the bar since it was still raining outdoors. It's both of our second attempts at still life (first attempt for me was with my mum last year while I was creating a portfoilo) and I guess for a second attempt it's not that bad?
But why my straw look so funny... And yes I know it turns out more dark/"black" than it should. My mum used to tell me my shading was always too light. Nvm I will do better the next time.

Another catching up session with Trisha on the way home. With our differences and the interferences lately, I'm praying that our 6 to 7 years of friendship will brave through this unpredictable storm without too much hardships, and for us to be stronger. We'll get through this.


I wish I had taken away your matches before your fire could catch me.

I really really love my tutor's camera. It's sad I just parted with it today ): Sigh. Anyway I'm not reducing the size of the pictures because... it just won't do the picture any justice if I reduce it any further like I normally would. I should have done so for the previous post too...

Shall blog about this beautiful place I went with Trisha just yesterday, tomorrow. The ambience was awesome outdoors, but I guess we were out of luck that day when the rain interrupted our meal. The staff there was very friendly though. We endded up moving to the second lobby which was air-conditioned bar with this candlelight feel. Not bad for a change hehehe.

Okay that's enough for today's post. I spent the monday with a horrible pimply bump on my right eyebrow and having to go through investiture which was... So damn hot.

Till tomorrow's post, xx.

You're an expert at sorry, and keeping lines blurry.

Sometimes, I don't know what I'll do without the girl above. It's like, when there's a thunderstorm right at my doorstep on one of my bad days, she'd be around to cover my ears and chase away some of my fears. Sure, we have had our fair share of quarrels and fights but I hope and I think that we've gone past that stage. To sustain a friendship, you can never be too much of a self-centered bitch on your part because everyone gets tired of those kind of one-sided friendship eventually. I'm glad I have this gay bff/cheesy bbq meltz who's here to stay.




















It was a really hot afternoon, though I wouldn't say humid. Bugs where everywhere... My dislike-o-meter for ants have officially went up to 80% (I'm actually quite tolerant when it comes to those blind little pests) when it was originally like, 50%. Were they seduced by my legs or what? -_-
But ants aside, me and Ziman encountered quite a fair number of never-knew-it-existed species of insects. We even came rather close to a Komodo dragon (is it a komodo dragon??) and for a moment I was like "omg let's run away it's gonna eat us!!" and then taking a few steps back because I really didn't want to be something else's lunch. I haven't even had lunch then.
"Dude, it's too small to eat us you know." Says Ziman. Right. I totally forgot I'm 5"0 tall and way too fat to be devoured by such a creature.























An unfocused shot, but I really love this picture together with the previous two. The priceless moments when both of us tried to balance on this disgustly small mossy rock so that we won't fall over into the waters.













Sincere thanks to my Amaths tutor who loaned me his Canon 600D with such cool lenses. If it weren't for his graciousness (omg I can't believe I'm complimenting someone like him like this!!), I wouldn't have taken these photos with Ziman today.
Any sane person who treats his own camera as his prized possession would hardly want to part with his camera for a few hours, much less a weekend. Maybe it's because he's insane in the first place but still, I'm thankful. It must be because I'm such a diligent student hahahaha. Oh and btw, me and Ziman share the same tutor ;) So yes he loves us hahahahahahaha even though we both failed miserably for our common test.

Will be heading out with Trisha tomorrow to work on our art portfoilios. Hopefully the Canon 600D's battery can last till the end of tomorrow... Anyway, it's a long tiring Saturday and my legs feel like they just stepped on lemons lol (ok lame). Goodnight.



I see it all now that you're gone. Don't you think I was too young to be messed with? The girl in the dress, cried the whole way home. Don't you think 16 is too young to be played by your dark twisted games, when I loved you so? I should've known. Well maybe it's me and my blind optimism to blame. Maybe it's you and your sick need to give love then take it away. And you'll add my name to your long list of traitors who don't understand. And I'll look back and regret how I ignored when they said "run as fast as you can"
