Hey hey, look up there!

Woah.. hope you guys will like the change of the layout. Heehee, I'm not so bhb enough to go create something like that using photoshop. Look carefully, will ya? This most popular and famous street on Earth is actually found in Sydney, Australia.

Was really surprised when Danping's favourite sister and bro-in-law went for their honeymoon a few years back and took a picture of the street name to show me the existence of a street named after me. Heehee.. I'm surprised by their thoughtfulness as digital camera wasn't that popular back then, and they actually wasted a few minutes out of their honeymoon and used up a picture in their roll of film to bring the picture back to me. Wonderful peeps yeah? Recently, a friend of mine who is studying in Sydney saw the road too, was amazed by it and he sent the above picture to me. Wow, I'm really honoured, it's like the tourist hot spot of Sydney, so you'll be sure to visit the place when you're in Australia. Okay? You heard about local places like Boon Keng Road, Bo Seng Avenue yah? See the similarities here? They're all named after famous people!! Wahahhahahahha...

Okay, okay.. I better cut the crap here and stop swelling with pride.

叶子的离开,是因为风的追求,还是树的不留念?

Alrighto, why am I so sentimental of a sudden? Well, maybe it's because I saw the above few lines in a email Nic sent and I remembered hearing the phrase in 音乐日记 before. Coincidentally I read the latest blog that Dr Sheep wrote and also finished watching the 2nd season of 'Sex and the City' last night. The ending was a sad one as Mr Big (his name said it all!), Carrie's love in the show suddenly got engaged with another girl at the end of the whole series. And the last question that Carrie asked him was "Why not me?" It was so, so, so sad. I must be sounding like a lunatic to people who are reading my blog and not having watched the show. So let me tell you the story a bit more. Introducing.. Big and Carrie.



Big (that's really his name!), is a guy that Carrie got acquainted to and starting dating in the first season. He's charming, he's rich, hunky and so on, the perfect guy for Carrie! Somehow, you'll know that he's the main guy for Carrie in the show as there's always special effects during his appearance like using slow motion etc, hahaaa..you get what I mean if you watch the sitcom. However, they broke up at the end of the first season (I'm suspecting it's going to happen for the remaining seasons as well =P) due to the fact that Big didn't want to introduce Carrie as his girlfriend to his mum. It was quite funny despite the fact that Carrie was sad. So for the first few episodes of the 2nd season I've watched about how she's got over with the breakup, dated other guys.. but somehow Big came back into her life again. And this time round, I've started to like this Big character more as he seemed to have changed, and their relationship improved. It was quite sweet. Well, I was really enjoying it till they got to the part where Big was supposed to move to Paris due to work. Carrie was upset with him for not factoring her into his decision making process. Once again their relationship had fallen through again due to commitment problems, and he left. A few weeks later, the biggest irony happened when he got engaged to another girl. How could he!

Maybe you still don't understand why it's saddening. It's saddening because the scriptwriter is a genius, or so I thought. Certain things portrayed in the show just seemed so real in our daily lives, and I was like thinking a lot about these issues after watching the show. Sometimes people just don't ended up marrying the person that they love the most, they marry the ones who came along at the right moment. Isn't it true? Or maybe contemporary Singaporeans are spoilt for choices, just look at the headlines of this morning's paper.. "Divorce Rate on the rise", how encouraging it is! =P Sigh.. let's move on.

Hahaha..anyway, I'm not into discussing about relationships on my blog. So we jump to the next thing. Photos!

This is me, a self taken photo using "Mr Right". Yah, I have curls now, if you're still unaware that I've permed my hair. Looking better than ever? =P



Okay, just ignore the pimples on my forehead, will ya? Haven't install photoshop to airbrush them away yet..

My latest nail colour after pedicure last Wed..hahaha..


up close!
Don't you just love this photo?

We took this photo with Hock Sui holding on to the camera and I'd forgotten to turn off the 'zoom', but anyway we thought it turned out quite artistic. =P




We tried using the tripod instead as I was experimenting with the different gadgets of the camera. Anyway, the tripod is not the lanky kind so it's rather lame..
