Mornings like these

Heck, morning has got to be the prettiest time of the day!

And I started off today quite differently.

I woke up at 7 (can't believe it right? i know, everyone knows i wake up at 12pm everyday, without fail), took a warm satisfying shower, and took my time to blow dry my hair. I then headed down to the dining hall for breakfast. The dining hall seemed so empty, with only a few students chatting away. I had cereals in peace, as I read the papers... I read on how Bill Clinton now supports Obama.

I then made sandwiches and packed it for lunch, as my classes will last till 2 today and I will be skipping lunch in IH. Again, I took my time to make sandwiches. I had all the time in the world, it was only 7.50 a.m. And my first class today starts at 10 a.m. Joy! =)

the style in IH- melted cheese on tomatoes with mushrooms on top ;) I love!

I only wish I could keep this waking up early thing up. :) it definitely feels good.

I almost wept reading this...

There was once this guy who is very much in love with his girl.

This romantic guy folded 1,000 pieces of paper cranes as a gift to his girl.Although, at that time he was just a small fry in his company, his future didn ' t seem too bright, they were very happy together. Until one day, his girl told him she was going to Paris and will never come back. She also told him that she cannot visualize any future for the both of them, so they went their own ways there and then...

Heartbroken, the guy agreed. But when he regained his confidence, he worked hard day and night, slogging his body and mind just to make something out of himself.

Finally with all the hard work and the help of friends, this guy had set up his own company..

You never fail until you stop trying. One rainy day, while this guy was driving, he saw an elderly couple sharing an umbrella in the rain walking to some destination. Even with the umbrella, they were still drenched. It didn't take him long to realize they were his girl's parents.

With a heart in getting back at them, he drove slowly beside the couple, wanting them to spot him in his luxury sedan. He wanted them to know that he wasn't the same any more; he had his own company, car, condo, etc. He made it! What he saw next confused him, the couple was walking towards a cemetery, and so he got out of his car and followed...and he saw his girl, a photograph of her smiling sweetly as ever at him from her tombstone and he saw his paper cranes right beside her...

Her parents saw him. He asked them why this had happened. They explained, she did not leave for France at all. She was ill with cancer. She had believed that he will make it someday, but she did not want to be his obstacle... therefore she had chosen to leave him.

Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. She had wanted her parents to put his paper cranes beside her, because, if the day comes when fate brings him to her again...he can take some of those back with him...

Once you have loved, you will always love. For what's in your mind may escape but what's in your heart will remain forever.

The guy just wept...The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside her knowing you can't have her, see her or be with her ever again.... hope you understand.

Find time to realize that there is one person who means so much to you, for you might wake up one morning losing that person who you thought meant nothing to you.

Voulez vous coucher avec moi (ce soir) ?

Translate that into english and it means: Do you want to sleep with me?

Lol! Only just found that out ;) Oh btw, it wasn't an indication or anything. Just thought I'd enlighten those who didn't know the meaning of it! Since...

that famous line (in the song Lady Marmalade) is used in conjunction with none other than the... ICSS Moulin Rouge Ball 2008!!! :) :) Held at Rydges Hotel.

Of all the hard work, months of preparation, meetings after meetings, table duties, it finally paid off. And we're all very glad.

Mr.Publicity who's probably the most self-less guy I've known, he forego his seat that night for our unexpected increase in number of people who turned up.

Now guys, please don't drool here, I know my girls are HOT!! =P

The sexy dance crew we hired :)

IH-ers I bumped into at the after-party!! :)

-------

What I learned from this event- being in the organizing commitee, is that in order for something to work, a whole lot of preparation is needed. It's easier said that done of course. There's a chinese saying which goes, 'being on stage for 5 minutes, takes up 10 years of work behind stage'. (direct translation)

It's a whole new experience for me because all these while I've only attended balls and parties, not knowing the effort behind it to make it happen. Through this I also see many of the commitee members, who self-lessly contributed their time and effort to making this ball a success. Without them, the ball wouldn't have been a blast. For this, I thank you my dear commitee.

A champagne toast for a job well done!

:)

To the 'longchamp' girl

... who got the prettiest Tiffany & Co's necklace instead. :D

The surprise we all gave her when the clock ticked twelve.

That's her beau :)

And dinner @ Hardware lane on the night of her birthday with none other than close friends,

where we proceeded to Carlton Bar after that for drinks.

And of course, my main course of Grilled Fish @ Vialetto's, Hardware lane :)

Happy 20th once again darling.

You're a friend in many ways, and despite the disagreements that we may have at times, I can see that you are the kind who will stand by your friends through thick & thin, and treasure them with your heart. For this, I'm glad I have known you.

I hope this birthday will be a memorable one. :)

Lots of love, lynnie. (see I don't simply give my lovee too! =p)

I was contemplating whether to go clubbing tonight or just chill at home. Clubbing at se7en with the cross dress theme sounds fun, especially if its free entry and i already have what to wear in mind ;) BUT staying at home and just chill with cereals and watching sex and the city on my laptop sounds equally fun too :( You guessed it, I chose the latter. I-games today totally worn me out as I only had 4 hours of sleep the night before. Will blog about i-games soon. :D

Anyways, on Wednesday, I went to Monash Clayton to support our baddy team in uni games for a while.. then, Elaine dear picked me up and we (Sue ann & Yee leng) headed to her Uncle Andy's place for BBQ dinner =) She's been wanting me to meet her 'truly wonderful uncle andy', as quoted Elaine. :) haha! Indeed, he's a really nice dude.

we love each other! ;)

i love this woman too man! been ages since we saw each other :) so happy to see you that night!
- uncle andy's place had a pool table! hence the stick

we had bbq-ed chicken, lamb, beef, salad, corn, sausages, mushrooms. omgg it was sooo good!
all i could remember was elaine's daddy teasing me and pushing me to eat ALL the food left on the plate. i did :D hahah.
