Wonderfully written.
Very true, very apt.
& I miss her,
very much still.
I hope she's doing well up there, somehow,

Not So Secret Lives

One Hundred & Sixty.

First of all,
I think I really hafta clarify, that
this FB acct belongs to me:

It's not set up by another poser or anth!
it's the real acct of mine. I set up 2 accts because:


& I've done my explanation before.
So, I'll really appreciate if you stop insisting that I accept your frn requests for both accounts.
& stop asking me for my MSN, because I do not exchange MSN contacts..
Thanks a lot for your understanding, seriously. :)

Okay!! some updates!
Had my very first Group Photoshoot on Sunday, 28th March.
Organised by Mike(otherwise well-known as Candleghost).
There were 4 models, & >30 photographers.
The photographers were split into 4 groups,
each grp taking one model for appx 40mins,
& the rotation begins.
So at each time, we have appx 8 photographers shooting us at the same time.
Great experience, & will do more of such shoots in future! :)

Most imptly, we all had great fun!
Worked with Sophia, Melissa & Florence this time.

Sophia - have known this beautiful lady since last yr. totally sweet & sincere woman!
Melissa - Miss NUS 09, Queen of Queens 2010 Winner, pretty cheerleader who is really natural & nice to talk to, WHAT MORE CAN YOU ASK FOR? hahah im like promoting her for some blind dating ;p
Florence - woodlands khaki! really cute, bubbly, pretty & petite lady. Have seen her ard in wdls before, CFMZ! hahah

All fun-loving, outgoing & nice peeps!
Seriously, the experience is very much determined by the ppl you work with.

We all know how ugly things can get in this industry,
how scary ppl can get,
but we choose what to absorb when we hear things,
& we have the power to be careful with our choice of words too.
anw yea, lucky for me, I've been meeting nice ppl :)

Anyhow, we had fun 'bashing' Jervin aka Mr Greedy.
muahahah. YOU'VE GTA CHECK THESE OUT!!

This
& this

These teach you not to mess with ladies!! hahah.

In any case, really hope to have more shoots with these 3 women soon :)
Thanks to the photographers present ytd,
esp the fun grp! hahah.
& of course, many thanks to Mike!
For the opportunities, & for allowing me to discover the 'feminine' side of myself.
muahahah. & last but not least, for the superb photos.
:)

Fake it til it's okay.

Koped from Jacson:

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis,
it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

- Mother Teresa

Do it anyway.

Truth

• Dan: And you left him, just like that?
• Alice: It's the only way to leave. "I don't love you anymore. Goodbye."
• Dan: Supposing you still do love them?
• Alice: You don't leave.
• Dan: You've never left someone you still love?
• Alice: Nope.

One Hundred & Fifty Five.

From my old blog:

“The Wedding Finger”

EVER WONDERED WHY WEDDING RINGS
SHOULD BE ON YOUR FOURTH FINGER AND
NO WHERE ELSE?
READ AND TRY THIS, YOU WON’T BELIEVE IT

Why should the wedding ring be worn on the fourth finger?
There is a beautiful and convincing explanation given by the Chinese …..

The thumb represents your Parents.

The second (index) finger represents your Siblings.

The middle finger represents you.

The fourth (ring) finger represents your Life Partner.

The last (little) finger represents your children.

First, open your palms (face to face),bend the middle fingers and hold them together,back to back.
Second, open and hold the remaining three fingersand the thumb – tip to tip.
(As shown in the figure below):

Now, try to separate your thumbs (representing the parents). They will open, because your parents are not destined to live with you lifelong, and have to leave you sooner or later.
Please join your thumbs as before and separate your Index fingers (representing siblings). They will also open, because your brothers and sisters will have their own families and will have to lead their separate lives.
Now rejoin the index fingers and separate your little fingers (representing your children). They will open too, because the children also will get married and settle down on their own some day.
Finally, rejoin your little fingers, and try to separate your ring fingers (representing your spouse). You’ll be surprised to see that you just CANNOT, because husband & wife have to remain together all their lives – through thick and thin!!

Advertorial- When in Rome

Before I start off, take a look at this trailer!

Brief details of this movie:

An ambitious young New Yorker (Kristen Bell), disillusioned with romance, takes a whirlwind trip to Rome where she defiantly plucks magic coins from a ‘foolish’ fountain of love, inexplicably igniting the passion of an odd group of suitors: a sausage magnate (Danny Devito), a street magician (Jon Heder), an adoring painter (Will Arnett) and a self-admiring model (Dax Shepard). But when a charming reporter (Josh Duhamel) pursues her with equal zest, how will she know if his love is the real thing?

Yes, so basically Beth (Kristen Bell) took out some coins from the fountain in hope that she can find her real love, ended up having a bunch of WEIRD SUITORS.
So, who is the right guy for her?

In my opinion, it has gta be the charming reporter, Josh Duhamel.

3 good reasons:

1. He is VERY charming.
Since I dont know much about the characters' characteristics, I guess the next best alternative way to judge, will be by looks right? First impression counts. & he definitely made the best impression! Can melt the ladies' heart kinda. The two of them looks great tgt!

2. Beth seems to like him.
Look at the laughter and fun they had tgt when they were dancing! No irritated response like how she was towards the others, like the self-aspiring model. Of course, one important factor to choose a guy must be the fact that you like the guy too!

3. The reason is obvious:
The other guys are simply TOO WEIRD.


So now, what are the 3 things that I will want to find in MY partner?!
Okay, truth be told, Ive always believed that these kinda "criteria list" do not work,
because how often do we end up with ppl who fits your 'list'?
Like, do you actually 'tick' the list to see if someone 'qualifies' to be your bf/gf?
what im trying to say is.....
to be realistic,
at the end of the day,
your bf/gf may actually end up the direct opposite!
nevertheless, of course I still have my 'ideal' requirements ;D

1. Mind Reader.
Yes, I would prefer my significant half to know me well to actually be able to read my mind before I even hafta speak up.. Like at times when Im down, when I just dont feel like talking, or when I find it difficult to elaborate my point further, he can just continue my statement, & guess what's on my mind.
To me, the 'connection', is very important in a r/s! :)

2. Knows when to be serious, & when not to be.
I like people who can make me laugh wholeheartedly, who can make me smile when everything else seems to be going down, who can be funny naturally (not the try-too-hard kinda!).
A good sense of humour helps to keep a r/s going strong!
However, I will also appreciate if my guy knows the exact moment to be serious.
For example, when at work.
Guys are especially attractive when they are serious at work! Yes?!
& also, which lady can take it if you are seriously trying to convey some important message/thoughts to your guy,
& there he goes on laughing continuously at some ridiculous things
which he found really funny & then totally ignored what you're trying to say.

3. Likes at least one form of sports
I wouldnt expect my partner to enjoy the same sports as I do, but I will definitely like it if my boy is fit!
my definition of fit does not means that he has to be really muscular/bulky.
Maybe, a good physique?
& I've always believed that being involved in at least one kind of sports does helps to nurture one's character, in a good way. :)
& I think guys look really great when they go all out to win the matches/competitions,
giving their best & focusing on the game. (SEE, this is when seriousness comes in too!)
& that is when you will use one word to describe,
帅! (handsome) hahah.

Alrighty, with this, I will end my post here!

Anyway, this show seems like a nice love comedy! So.......

"Some people believe that without history,
our lives amount to nothing.

At some point we all have to choose:
do we fall back on what we know,
or do we step forward to something new?

It's hard not to be haunted by our past.
Our history is what shapes us... what guides us.
Our history resurfaces time after time after time.
So we have to remember sometimes
the most important history is the history we're making today."
- Grey's Anatomy

One Hundred & Fifty Two. -The Unrevealed & the Taboo Topic: S-E-X.

Last Dec was a big fat mistake.
The more I think about it,

the more disgusted I feel.
very disgusted.
on what you did,
& the things you insisted/forced me to do.
& I'm very regretful
because you're simply not worth.
No doubt, we are still friends,
but sorry, fact is,
I have no good impression of you at all.

In any case,
do note that,
the fact that I'm mentioning it now,
it's not because you're important,
or that I am thinking of you.
On the contrary,
I only have nothing but bad impressions/memories of you.
Truth is,
these are haunting me.
Nevertheless, it was yet another lesson learnt.

But I'm glad,
very glad,
that I insisted on my stand,
& did not give in,
& did not give my first to you.
Really glad.

I should let you know that,
I did not shed a single tear right from the beginning.
& in fact, I was very glad & relieved with my decision.
Each day after my decision,
has only led me to see my choice as the absolute right one.
& I felt/am feeling way happier, relieved, light-hearted & free.
& made me realised IMMEDIATELY that,
it shouldnt even have started.

"We have to do with the past only as we can make it useful to the present and the future."

Point noted.

Anyway, by the terms of certain issues,

it includes the Taboo topic: S-E-X.
Don't get me wrong,
there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
At the end of the day,
it's each of our own lifestyle & preference.

But what I just wna highlight is that,
do not forget your very own values/beliefs
you held right from the start,
just because of a moment of impulse. :)

Maybe you're just like me,
& you have the same thinking that
the first time do matters.
So, I'll definitely save mine for someone worth.

I used to be 100% against pre-marital sex,
but now,
I think I've changed my perception.

So, at least let it be someone whom you'll not regret,
when you look/think back months/years later;
even if he/she doesnt ends up as your marriage partner eventually.
Never mind if those ppl out thr
are labelling you as old-fashioned/traditional/over-conservative.

At the end of the day,
you answer to your very own conscience,
your integrity.

Last but not least,
as I mentioned,
there is nothing wrong with sex.
But bear in mind that,
cliche as it sounds,
casual sex w/o protection,
should totally be avoided.
So, if you're active in sex,
pls, practice safe sex.

Period.

"We all think we're going to be great.

And we feel a little bit robbed when our expectations aren't met.

But sometimes, our expectations sell us short.
Sometimes the expected simply pales in comparison to the unexpected.
You gotta wonder why we cling to our expectations
because the expected is just what keeps us steady,
standing, still.
The expected's just the beginning.
The unexpected is what changes our lives."
- Grey's Anatomy

Lack of updates of happenings.
Not much happenings but Im busy.
Busy with what?
busy with being busy? maybe.
Anyhow, past 2 weekends = L'Oreal StylevsStyle event + 21st bday parties.

And its gna be the same for this coming Sat.
& another bday to attend next Sat too.

Tests this week & next.
It may seems ridiculous to my frns who chatted wimme on MSN
that I always say that I'm studying/ trying to study.
Fact is,
Im a slow learner. My "absorption rate" is rather slow,
which is why I always take sucha loooooong time to study
& finish what I aim to achieve.

First half of my sem was gone, mainly due to teensModelSearch,
& whatsnot, oh driving too.
I only have less than half of the sem to chiong.
Knowing myself..
even after studying so hard for the past 3 sems,
my results always end up like shit eventually.
So it's gna get even worse this sem if I don't buck up.
Bad premonition for this sem..
No, it's not too late.
So, imma JUST STUDY HARDER & not be demoralized (AGAIN.)

Had a short photoshoot ytd, finally.
Updating of FSA portfolio, FINALLY.

Olivia, my MUA for ytd :)
Charlotte :)

I like the photos taken ytd. :)

I did a Tarot Card test on FB ytd,
& my tarot card is Strength. :)

"After a while you learn the subtle difference
between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
and you learn that love doesn't mean leaning
and company doesn't mean security,
and you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts
and presents aren't promises,
and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up
and your eyes open,
with the grace of an adult,
not the grief of a child,
and you learn to build all your roads on today
because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans.
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much.
So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure...
that you really are strong,
and you really do have worth."

"Turns out sometimes you have to do the wrong thing.

Sometimes you have to make a big mistake

to figure out how to make things right.

Mistakes are painful,

but they're the only way to find out who you really are."

- Grey's Anatomy

So as Jesse remains at the same spot,
feeling all heart-broken & shitty & whatsnot,
Trey on the other side is feeling as bad too.
But hey,
this man actually seems mature enough.

Nevertheless, he has to face the music.
& the sad thing is,
his mistake is taking a toll on Jesse too.

"We can't help ourselves.
We see a line, we want to cross it.
Maybe it's the thrill of trading the familiar for the unfamiliar.
A sort of personal dare.
Only problem is, once you've crossed it's almost impossible to go back.
But if you do manage to make it back across that line
you find safety in numbers."

杨丞琳 – 匿名的好友

独送昏暗不离的风 回忆里被爱
那股激动 天色好红
温柔好浓 在胸口浮现你的面容
一起活在这城市里 更提起你名字
心还跳动 却没重逢
只留下碰却又不敢碰的那种激动
也许我们当时年纪真的太小
从那懵懵懂懂 走进各自天空
该怎么说让彼此选择 但思念还转动

不能握的手 从此匿名的朋友
其实我的执着依然执着
与你无关泪自行吸收
不能握的手 却比亲人更亲厚
当所有如果都没有如果
只有失去的温柔 最温柔

当又一次美梦落空 回忆里被爱
那股激动 天色好红
温柔好浓 在胸口浮现你的面容
也许我们当时年纪真的太小
从那懵懵懂懂走进各自天空
那是什么 让彼此选择
又不仅是尊重

不能握的手 从此匿名的朋友
其实我的执着 依然执着
却决心和你不再联络
不能握的手 却比爱人更长久
当所有如果 都没有如果
只有失去的拥有 最永久

had the chinese songs HWEEL these 2 days, somehow. :)
