Paris Holds The Key To Your Heart...

Thursday, February 11, 2010

Paree holds the key to your heart...lol, ever heard of that song? It's from the animated film, Anastasia voiced by Meg Ryan and John Cusack...remember? It's produced by Don Bluth...one of those underdogs if you compare them to Disney, of course! But heck...I loved All Dogs Go To Heaven, and I love Anastasia too! :)))

So why am I talking about that song? Coz whenever I think of France..i think of the Eiffel Tower...i think of walking into a little french bistro and ordering a cafe creme, sitting on the Al Fresco table-setting outside the quaint place, overlooking a beautiful view...buttering a croissant, and just enjoying the day while watching people cycling, walking, playing, talking away while I try to finish Le Figaro (as if!!! I can't even speak proper French!!! LMAO) as I can't find a single English-languaged newspaper anywhere...and that, my friend...is when THE SONG comes in...ahahah!!!

Well, actually that's just one of the tunes I have playing on loop when I think of Paris...the other is La Vie En Rose by Louis Armstrong...but that's for the night-time, while I'm watching the lights on Le Tour Eiffel...heheheh...*smiles while the heart warms to the thought*

OK...daydream over!!! Back to reality...

So we (A and myself) submitted the paperwork to the relevant headquarter and were told to follow-up after 2-weeks...before we sent it out, we hoped for the best, and A gave the paper a kiss...then I followed suit! LMAO...dude, if it works...then you should kiss my lottery ticket!!!

Oh, and here's the website on the trip, by the way...can you guess which is me? Hahahaha...

So that's done, and now we wait...while waiting, I must now focus on my 3 unfinished tasks...one of them being my thesis!!! Ahhhhh, ZOMG!!! I was so preoccupied with finishing my term assignments and presentation that I totally brushed-off doing anything related to my thesis, and I hope that this doesn't screw with my momentum of finishing tasks! Coz once the momentum is gone...then it gets really bad, as I have a real hard time getting it back!!!

And wow does the time fly by real fast!!! Damn, it's already February...and I didn't even realize it till people kept posting Happy Chinese New Year on Facebook...shit! That leaves me around 2 fucking months to complete this thesis of mine...the pressure is on!!!

And to think, i'd have to travel back home tomorrow to sardine-packed trains...as i'm sure EVERYONE is gonna travel back to their respective homes...this being the holidays and all...

To great times and wishes come true...I wish all this for me and you! :)

Happy Chinese New Year...let us usher the year of the Tiger!!! Roarrrr!!! *Eye of The Tiger by Survivor plays in the background*

Bye Bye Birdie...

Thursday, June 18, 2009

So my dad will be forgoing the 1st week of the trip, and would only join us a week later due to some circumstances...crapcrapcrapcrap!!! At least if he comes along, my sis and I can have someone else who's just as lost as we are? LMAO...but now, we just have each other to give funny looks to...hmmmph!

Anyway, he'll be joining us after a week...meanwhile, our cousin--> the only relative in OUR age group that we have grown soooo familiar with will be going to work in a ship...this 19th! WTF...that means, he won't be able to show us around...Oh Lord almighty...okok, chill...focus!!! We shall find other relatives that we at least could get along with...pleeeaseeeeeee...may it be so!!!

Have to do lots of pre-trip shopping coz we lack many things...and yeah, ironically, we'll be leaving on Fathers' Day; minus Pops! But at the same time, we'll get to meet our grandpa...yeah, dunno how dad is gonna take being without his beloved baby girl...OMG they are so attached, i sure hope she doesn't cry while we're there...Mom already asked us to bring her fave DVDs (stupid Chickens & that idiot Cow! I don't mind Toy Story though...lol!) so she won't go nuts!

She's so excited to board a plane, though...she actually wanted to ride in an airplane just now...LMAO! We said, "Wait till Sunday, okay?" I sure hope i don't forget anything...hahaha, imagine you're away from home in a foreign place, and then you realize you forgot to bring your underwear!!! Or worse, your cash!!! Hahahahaha!!!

Here's hoping that this homecoming won't suck...hear, hear!!!

PS: Oh fuck, i forgot...i can't speak Tagalog (can only understand and make fun of it a bit, hehehe)...i'm so screwed...HAHAHAHA!

Am I Growing Up?

Monday, January 19, 2009

At certain times, you stop for awhile to re-evaluate your life. I do it more often than I should, and this time's no different...

I seem to be going in the direction which i've planned for a long time. I'm gonna be 22, gonna be graduating next year, and will be looking for a job...OMG, i would actually have to grow up!

Would my life keep being this way, coz i can't take that's it's too straight...too black and white...to dull! I need to do some soul-searching before I start a career...perhaps travel a bit, explore LIFE! I have been dreaming of traveling the world, but to no avail...I keep thinking, "I need money, money, money!" Well, that's true, right? We NEED the dough to travel, to explore...but why can't that be my career?

That would be so mind-blowingly awesome! I don't know what job calls for a bubbly 20-something year old...to travel...food and lodging provided...benefits available...does that even exist?

I watch Discovery Travel and Adventure...and I really really envy that Samantha Brown, as she has my dream job. Boy, she must be enjoying it! I wanna be like that, but there's no chance...Malaysia can't come close to that! And I must be rational enough to realize that this just don't happen...

It's like your dad dreaming of becoming a rockstar...your mom wishing she married Tom Selleck...your brother dreaming of becoming Speed Racer...that's how my dream is!

Well, don't even know why in the hell i'm talking about this shit! But this dream will forever be etched in my head...

WTF? Christmas Is Coming Already?

Wednesday, November 12, 2008

It's now the 12th of November...

I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW FAST THE TIME IS PASSING US!!!

Just yesterday, I was registering for my 3rd semester...2nd year of uni. AND NOW? It is almost coming to an end. Christmas is upon us too...

What? Christmas?

I'm like 'Wtf?' over here...listening to Dave Koz & Friends : The Christmas Album or something like that. Hahaha, as much as i'd like to NOT admit it, listening to Christmas songs get me in the holiday mood...just puts me in a better mode. Makes me a tad more optimistic, gives me some hope for better days...

Oh, man...looking back, i find that my year hasn't really been a good one. Okay, so family-wise, it's great! But personally, my year was (and still is) boring. All I did was study, stay home...once in a while, I go out for a movie with friends. How pathetic is that?

I'm 21...and i'm freakin' boring! HAHAHAHA...that's rich! I have all this thoughts, plans, dreams...and I do it in the confines of the four walls that surround me (house, college dorm, class, etc).

I guess i'm waiting for the time when I get the chance to travel the world. Experience true freedom...or at least some of it! Why do I feel trapped all of a sudden? Maybe because I am? Between responsibilities at home, and at school...what have I got? Nil...

As I attempt to study for a test later in the day...I suddenly dream of taking ballroom dancing lessons...I would love to learn to salsa..woohoo! Then maybe i'll achieve 0% fat...lol! That'll be great...

Is what i'm writing even making any sense? From xmas, i went to boredom, then to my procrastination...and now, dancing? I think my head is overloaded with useless junk. The stuff I need to read-up on ain't goin' in...Shit, what am I gonna do?

Years of multi-tasking have done damage to my head, I tell ya! Damage!
