chocs i made for colleagues
finally learnt how to post pics on my blog...yea!!!
thanks lynn for your patience!!
hee...i'm really bad at this la (^_^)
anyway this are the chocs i made for me colleagues on my last day.
all handmade! even the wrappings =)
just watched the virgin suicides...its a great movie...fantastic insights by sofia copolla...though i didn't read the book
brought me back to my teenage days...those dreams and fantasies of a girl...
so wild and vivid...yet charming...
at times when i see teenage girls on the road...i'll be wondering whats going on in their pretty heads?
are they thinking bout that cute guy in their class? or bout their homework? or their barbie dolls?
i can so understand that need to be rebellious...that urge to defy parents who seem to have forgotten that they were once controlled by their strict parents too...
i rem when i was in secondary school...how my parents went to the extent of picking up all my phone calls for fear that i might just run out of the house with the guy and never come back...
how they interrogated the poor guy on the other end of the phone even if he is really jus asking bout sch work.....
jus barely 5 min on the phone and they would all threaten to ground me if i dun hang up....
and when i said "they"...i really do mean my parents and my 2 elder bros....
sigh...teenage imprisonment...
but i've had my fair share of being rebellious...
i wasn't all goody 2 shoes...come to think of it...i was rather mild really...
i lied bout going to the theme park near my house with my gal friend when its actually a guy...hahaha...but unfortunately my uncle saw me...
well...what happened after that wasn't as bad as i imagined it to be...my mum didn't beat me nor ground me...
instead she talked to me about the dangers of being kidnapped or raped...and she cried...
sigh...that really worked i guess...
i dun feel bad going out with my fren...i felt bad that i got my mum got sooooo worried...
well those were the days...days when my mum ruled the family with her iron hands...she still has them in check now and then...but things have changed now...
for the better...
maybe i'll let my kids watch the virgin suicides when they are teenagers...and as a reminder for myself.... =)
my primary school friends
the human behavior never fails to amaze me
and i believe that is wat makes us different from animals...
how is it that we can control our emotions, be nice and polite to someone despite their horrible behavior?
or pretend to be really interested when we are jus soooooooo bored??
i can be pretty mean and not really one who minces her words....hee...
if i'm really angry or can't see eye to some pple's behavior i'll jus be really nasty and can say some hurtful things...but fortunately...or so i think...i dun bear grudges... and i forget as easily as i get angry =)
but that doesn't mean u pple out there can jus make me angry k!!! i got a weak heart...hahha...
recently i've been meeting up w my pri sch frens quite a bit...come to think of it...its been nearly 9 yrs since we graduated from kcpps and we've not met up since then....and we all live in bishan!! only recently then we meet up for supper and so forth...hahaha....really wierd....
but not all outings are fun...sometimes i really wonder why we bother to meet up...we dun talk about things close to our hearts...neither do we all joke ard very often...
more often then not...we'll jus be sitting ard...eating prata...talking amgst ourselves...waiting for time to past...looking at each other...maybe we are jus bored...and theres company! no matter what company... =)
actually all of us are very different individuals...knowing them in pri sch and knowing them now....looking at the transition is really interesting....
i don't really know my male classmates back in pri sch...so looking at them now...one really wonder wat they have gone thru in these 9 yrs to be where they r today...
or so this is wat i've been doing while we stone at each other...hee...
maybe we are meeting up cos we all wanna find out how we are all doing of late...afterall we played together since we were kids...nows the time to catch up on old times and wats we've missed out on each others lives...
wish we could have more heart to heart conversations...this is probably a bit difficult when there are 5 of us i guess...
but at the end of the day i've enjoyed every outing with my pri sch frens...
many things take place unexpectedly...thats what makes it fun, enjoyable and something to look forward to.... =)
you guys rock!!! =)
and its really thanks to ellen that i can be meeting up w my pri sch frens...though she makes me go crazy at times...she's a great fren nonetheless...
a fren whom one can cry and laugh w... =)
