ice bowl outing

jo, faan jin, cheryl and i went ice skating today.

i'd been ice skating a couple of times in sunway pyramid before, so i would consider myself ok on ice. ok as in i rarely fall. haha...

the last time i was on ice, i tried to learn putting one foot directly in front of the other (forming a straight line), which is actually wayyy harder than in sounds. i fell and hit my head, ending that ice skating session for me. lol.

this time, i tried skating on one foot for as long as i could.
and i ended up learning this:
attitude2
ok, without the pizazz, and my leg a little lower with my body slightly inclined forward, but basically doing an 'attitude' (ballet term. go google =p).

whee!!! im so proud of myself! :D

ice_skating_2
i can do this too, but im still not too good at it. not enough confidence and balance :(

the bent leg one is easier. hehe

2 things im quite anal about

FOOD and SLEEP

food:
i can get quite excited about food. so if u tell me we're gonna eat *insert type of food eg. french* then suddenly cancel plans. this is akin to taking candy from a baby... nearly literally!
i find it super potong steam when i get all psyched to eat certain food then suddenly the plan is cancelled, or changed to eat different food that i like less than what i was pyshed for. T_T
(btw, i realized that the 2 above sentences are similar in content. coz im redundant like that. wtf)

oh and if i expect food to be good, but it is crappy, or comes with rude/crappy service, its very potong too!

sleep:
im quite the owl. i'd rather stay up late than wake up early. so i choose carefully what i wake up early for. early is anything b4 12pm. haha.
so i get rather upset when i wake up early for something, get dressed and ready, then get told that either something is cancelled, or that someone will be late (i know im always late myself, but u guys dont have my sleeping patterns. and this only applies for mornings. other times, im just relieved that im not the one thats late this time. wtf) coz i could have been sleeping!

i've used to have a problem with acne which has cleared considerably over the years. however, i've been getting a few on areas of my face recently. and i consider it serendipity that this got sent to my email. its a newsletter i subscribed to, and it was such a coincidence that they covered the topic of what pimples on certain parts of your face could mean. so if you're curious, do check it out.

***************
i was feeling rather depressed earlier because i think i did crap for my negotiation exam, so on my way home i bought some of my happy cookies to cheer me up. however, i was still feeling a little low, so i went on fail blog to laugh at other peoples misfortunes so that i could feel better. wtf .

and i feel much better now :D

this is quite a disaster really if it were to happen.

i wonder if it were possible to erect something to stop the flow of water before it ran dry. but the force of the rushing water would be immense!

are you stupid?

have you ever felt that the more you studied, the stupider you got?

the more i study, the more stupid i feel myself to be.

i never felt this inadequate in high school.

i never had panic attacks prior to exams in high school either (*conveniently disregards the fact that the panic attacks could have been avoided if i started studying earlier and was more prepared.* wtf)

anti stupid pills

since i've been posting songs...

i might as well post more!

i've been on a song spree recently. i've been trying to find old songs that i used to really really love.

and by "really really love" i mean i played it incessantly and tried to find the english translation of the lyrics.


the lyrics are soo sweet! *melts*

ok la, the common thing about the old chinese songs that i loved is that the lyrics moved me and never failed to make me melt ;)

brief translation of "ai te lu sang ce you wo he ni":

im not sure when
i started liking you
every night i'd come to see you
you're so pretty
how could i not look at you
if i cant see you
i'd lose myself

really wanna hold your hand
go through hardships
whatever the hardships, i'd accompany you
*insert 2 lines that i dunno the meaning to*
the road of love only has the both of us

im not sure when
i started liking you
every night i'd come to see you
you're so pretty
how could i not look at you
if i cant see you
i'd lose myself

sometimes you are really naughty
always making me [worry?]
one heart
always beating for you
just close my eyes
and there would be a [million?] yous

your [silhouette?]
is engraved in my mind
cant not think of you
also cant forget you
always seeing you in my dreams
really wanna tell you
i really do love you
dont distrust my heart anymore

(really wanna hold your hand
go through hardships
whatever the hardships, i'd accompany you
*insert 2 lines that i dunno the meaning to*
the road of love only has the both of us) x2

____________________________

not bad ler! considering that i translated all that myself!
err... it prolly has a gazillion mistakes, so feel free to correct me =p

with lyrics like that, how can one not melt you tell me!

here's another song of richie's that i love:



the lyrics for this is sadder:

your heart melts too easily
melts too easily

crying alone till the sun rises
you [blindly] love that person
i know that you are really not that strong

your heart melts too easily
melts too easily

shouldering all the problems alone
wanting love to always be simple
*something* is too difficult
if its not yours
dont keep forcing it

why dont you want to sleep yet
are you're still thinking of him/her
you keep [going on like this?] arent you tired
you know he/she wont return to comfort you

just want to properly love someone
too bad they cant give you [insert word]

[3 difficult lines. my mandarin is beginnger level only k!]
let it go
just forget it like this
let go of what you should
even if you keep thinking about it, there's no use

stupidly waiting
he/she wont return
should think for your own future

your heart melts too easily
melts too easily

crying alone till the sun rises
you [blindly] love that person
i know that you are really not that strong

your heart melts too easily
melts too easily

shouldering all the problems alone
wanting love to always be simple
*something* is too difficult
if its not yours
dont keep forcing it

why dont you want to sleep yet
are you're still thinking of him/her
you keep [going on like this?] arent you tired
you know he/she wont return to comfort you


just want to properly love someone
too bad they cant give you [insert word]

[3 difficult lines. my mandarin is beginnger level only k!]
let it go
just forget it like this
let go of what you should
even if you keep thinking about it, there's no use

stupidly waiting
he/she wont return
should think for your own future

your heart melts too easily
melts too easily

crying alone till the sun rises
you [blindly] love that person
i know that you are really not that strong

your heart melts too easily
melts too easily

shouldering all the problems alone
wanting love to always be simple
*something* is too difficult

(if its not yours
dont keep forcing it) x 5

not the best of translations, but whatever la, you get the gist of it.

and once again, just for laughs:

how many of you watched this before? =p

enough!

time to do my skeleton argument!

a first for no.71

for the very 1st time, i think everyone in no.71 (my flat) is studying at the same time!

most of the time, its just them studying. wtf

or when i have exams, they dont and vice versa.

but now, they have an exam tomorrow and i have an absurd amount of research to do for my exams next week, so we're all simultaneously studying! *gasp*

two words.

little girl crush

when i was a little girl, i had two idols. the first was toro guo wei yun, and the other was peter ho ren tung.

i first fell in love with peter ho in the "crouching tiger, hidden dragon series".



it wasnt just his good looks and awesome physique that i liked

peter ho2peter ho1

but it was his mischievously endearing character in the movie.

strangely alot of people that i've spoken to about the series have never heard of it. they only know the movie.

this is a trailer:


but the song in it is not one that i found familiar

the song i liked is in this video:

unfortunately the video kinda sucks.
i wished they put this song over the 1st video.

and just for laughs:

cringe worthy!

domd 2000

i've been watching the duke of mount deer (2000), dicky cheung's version.

i've always liked that version :)
and i finally got around to watching it.

but at very unfortunate timing.
with my exams literally just around the corner, i've been rushing to finish the 40 episodes because i know i wont be able to concentrate till im done with the series.

luckily, i managed to finish the last episode tonight.

here's a song i wanted to share with you all.

i was soo obsessed with it the first time i heard it yonks ago.
and surprise surprise, i still love it ;)



his voice and the lyrics melt me ;)

horrible but cheap nasi lemak

well, if u consider rm20 cheap that is. but at 4pounds, im pretty sure its cheaper than at any other place in the uk.

jo and i ate at the the malaysian hall today.

we stay so near, but have never went there for normal meals before. so why not try it? its cheaper than eating out at other places anyway.

the chicken in the nasi lemak sucked though. damn hard and dry. fail.

but that didnt stop me from buying some chap fan home for dinner. 2 dishes and rice for 3.80pounds. not bad!
for my dishes, i had a fish n a lamb. quite worth it i'd say.

so the next time im broke and craving malaysian food (or just broke and die die wanna eat out), im definitely coming back.

its so malaysian, even the canteen lady was talking about malaysian politics and special rights (she thought lowly of anuar coz according to her, he wanted to give away their special priviledges. and no, she wasnt speaking to me, she was speaking over my shoulder to a man. but i understand malay la!)
