How To...

Blow your shoe!!

Haha. There's some randomness for you. Meh.

I'm bored. Bored bored bored boredddd.

It's ok, I know that boredom doesn't kill. Even though sometimes it really feels like it does.

I think I will try to go draw something in my journal (which has now become a little picture journal). Hey, I might even get good at it :p

Toodles!!

I Want These Shoes!

Aren't they gorgeous???
My size is US 6.5
:)

I knowww, it's past Christmas... Boo hoo.

Your Land Is My Land???

I was just reading about Israel's attack on Gaza in the papers. And what hit me the most was the fact that these Palestinians who are living on the Gaza strip are having to bury their mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters and children. To them, death (or dare I say murder) has become a common occurrence in their lives. It almost seems as if the people who had been killed weren't even that important in the first place, their lives insignificant.

It's so easy for us to sit in the comfort and safety of our homes, read the papers, watch the news, and tut and shake our heads at the horrific audacity that is the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. And as much as I try to, I can't picture what it must be like for the people in the midst of the whole mess. I'm not even sure I want to. It must be horrible.

The worst part is, I don't see an end to this conflict... I just don't see how it is possible to settle something that stems from hatred that has been cultivated for centuries :( Maybe if the whole of Israel and Palestine upped themselves and resettled in Siberia or something (but as far away from each other as possible) then the war will end.

Of Mistake-ridden Horoscopes, Wheatgrass Shots and Ice Cream Fondues...

Cancer: You've been working hard! Take satisfaction in that, even if no one else seems to notice!

That's what my Facebook Horoscopes application says about me for today...
o_O

???

Yeh... So maybe it took a lot of hard work to convince myself to drink the vile smelling (but not that bad tasting) wheatgrass shots that Annabel, Harinderpal, Lea and I decided to try. But that was it! Maybe driving is considered hard work too...

Actually, I think having a wheatgrass shot is for lazy people... Apparently, it's equivalent to 1kg of fruits and veges (in terms of antioxidant content). So I took the shortcut, no?



1st picture: The juice place dude juicing the wheatgrass... Look for the wheatgrass poo that's coming out of the end of the juicer. Hehe.
2nd picture: A wheatgrass shot with an orange wedge to take the bitterness away. (Compare with tequila shot and lemon wedge... :p). I forgot to rotate the picture, so hah! too bad for you :)

And then, to wash off the yuckiness (I thought it wasn't too bad...) of the wheatgrass shots, we had an ice cream fondue at the Baskin Robbins cafe :)

Hope for the best but expect the worst.

It's what I try to do as much as possible to minimise the risk of disappointment. But just like everything else, it's easier said than done.

Still, I try.
Perhaps with enough practice I'll get good at it?

I dunno what this is called....

Some of these points are on my private little list that I call '30 Things To Do Before I Turn 30'. But I've only come up with 16 things so far. Working on the other 14. Not telling anyone what they are!! :p

Apparently I'm supposed to tag people who're supposed to do the same thing themselves... so I tag all you people bored enough to be reading this! Hehe :)

Happy New Yearrrr :)

So it's finally 2009!
This blog is officially ONE year old!

I really wanted to write a new year's post yesterday on new year's day BUT I was half a zombie the whole day coz I didn't sleep properly the night before.

Anywayy, I just need to say that I'm hopeful that this new year will be a good one. Better than last year. Hope is a nice feeling :) But let's see how it goes...

Sooo... On to my new year's resolution. I think I'm still discovering who I am and this blog really helped me shape my identity and be proud of the person that I am so I figured that a natural progression from blogging (I'll still keep this blog going of course!) is journal writing. Except it's my private journal in a proper book that no one else can read. Hehe :) I've realised that writing is a great way to reflect and somehow helps to put things in perspective. So I'm excited to see how this journal thing goes.

That's all for now, I guess.
Oh and, Happy New Year!! :)
