The Whirlwind Called Life

So sorry yet again, for having this really huge gap in between my entries. I've just been so drained from working, and there's rarely time for anything else. So thank goodness for the occasional public holiday to temporarily recharge.

So what's new this time? This morning, CK and I went to catch "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End". It's good, though a bit of a drag at times. And if you have not watched it but plan to, note that there's a bit left after the credits. It's somewhat a conclusion, and worth every second of sitting through the boring credits.

I've watched a bunch of Orlando Bloom movies, like the LOTR trilogy, Troy, Kingdom of Heaven, and The Calcium Kid. But I have to say that I like him best in this movie.

Oh, and I'm going to be 19 soon! It's scary, really. I've sadly watched my childhood drift by, and now, it'll be my adolescence. And soon I'll be making that awkward and reluctant shift into adulthood. In a way, this journey has already begun the first few steps.

On the bright side of things, I'll be flying to KOREA! For one week I'll be in the home of kimchi, Rain, Bae Yong Jun (or something like that), Princess Hours, and the very pretty Miss Korea! The trip will commence on 6 June, which is my birthday! If any of you like Kimchi, I'll try to bring some back.

So excited! Which reminds me, I have to pack now. Ciao!

Whatever. I got this from CK's blog.

CK's gone away again, and I'm still busy with work. And I haven't really been feeling inspired lately, so I don't know what to type here. Well, when CK was on this island, we went to some tiny unknown pub with his NS friends. Drank some Martell, and the noob CK got a little drunk. Me? I stayed sober. Primarily because I wasn't too crazy about the drink, so it was only 2 glasses.

Just been listening to Christina Aguilera's "Back to Basics". She's my idol! There's a song on the album which could be appropriate for Mother's Day, titled "Oh Mother". Unfortunately I don't know how to put the song here, so it's just the lyrics.

Oh Mother

She was so young with such innocent eyes

She always dreamt of a fairytale life
And all the things that your money can't buy

She thought that he was a wonderful guy

Then suddenly, things seemed to change

It was the moment she took on his name

He took his anger out on her face

She kept all of her pain locked away

Oh mother, we're stronger
From all of the tears you have shed

Oh mother, don't look back

Cause he'll never hurt us again

So mother, I thank you

For all that you've done and still do

You got me, I got you

Together we always pull through

We always pull through

Oh mother, oh mother, oh mother

It was the day that he turned on his kids
That she knew she just had to leave him

So many voices inside of her head

Saying over and over and over,"You deserve much more than this."

She was so sick of believing the lies and trying to hide

Covering the cuts and bruises

So tired of defending her life, she could have died

Fighting for the lives of her children

Oh mother, we're stronger

From all of the tears you have shed

Oh mother, don't look back

Cause he'll never hurt us again

So mother, I thank you

For all that you've done and still do

You got me, I got you

Together we always pull through

We always pull through

We always pull through
Oh mother, oh mother, oh mother

All of your life you have spent

Burying hurt and regret

But mama, he'll never touch us again

For everytime he tried to break you down

Just remember who's still around

It's over, and we're stronger

And we'll never have to go back again

Oh mother, we're stronger

From all of the tears you have shed

Oh mother, don't look back

Cause he'll never hurt us again

So mother, I thank you

For all that you've done and still do

You got me, I got you

Together we always pull through

We always pull through

I love you mom

****************************************

Yeah, it's quite dark, but it could be my kind of song, because I can relate to it. And to my mum, even though you won't read my blog, I still want to tell you that I love you.

****************************************

Well, to talk about the brighter things in life, I got more of those studio photos! Here's another one:

The hair makes me look kinda old, but I can't help but love curls! It's really fun to walk around with nice bouncy curls. Haha... And yeah, with the wonders of Photoshop, my braces are gone! Pretty cool... A preview of what my teeth will probably look like after the braces are removed.

Argh, I cannot stand Photoshop! Now I'm so envious of my photo, wishing that in reality, I won't have dark eye circles or zits. I won't lament the braces, since they're coming off soon. At least I'll be a wee bit prettier then.

Yeah I'm rather vain, and as much as it bothers me, I can't stop. So we'll just have to bear with it. Haha... Oh yeah, while we're on the subject on vanity, I'll blog about something that I realised recently.

You know that some people have got weight issues. Not the kind of overweight-for-real issue, but some who aren't fat but think they are, hence they go on crazy, unnecesary diets. As for me, I've got a height issue. I have feel-short days. I don't like wearing flats because I feel short in them. I know I'm not short (1.67m is quite average), but I feel short. And while having a really tall boyfriend gives that "sense of security", it also makes me feel even shorter.

But this is quite harmless lah. I've got a few pairs of stilettos, but thankfully I'm sane enough to wear them only on occasion. Been thinking about getting wedges. Oh well.

Weekends seem to be passing so quickly! Saturday is almost gone, and I won't be free on Sunday. Goodness, how will I be getting any rest at this rate? Looking forward to July, which is when the summer is in full blast, and I'll be having a nice long holiday. Wheee!
