i have the greatest two best friends in the world! (:
♥ Wong Xiu Yi and Claire Neo Wei Ling, I love you girls to bits and pieces! ♥
my BFFs for 7 and 6 years respectively..

♥ xiuyi:
through my darkest hours and darkest times, it was you who brought me laughter, brought me comfort. you who gave me hope, gave me the courage to move on.
Thank You so much for the love and support recently.
especially this week, which has been a really rough one for me.
and i can never ever express in words the feelings i feel for you, my dear bff.
the chemistry we share, the bond we share, the understanding we share, the love we share.

my family, my sister.

and after reading your blog, i didn't know what to say.

"helloo.
the official FIRST post on this blog.
hope this is a beginning of something that will last [my BFF. she knows the meaning.]

anyway, on to sth that came as a shock. no. more like a nice surprise actually.
my BFF's Dip Plus teacher-in-charge called her out of the blue, and started interviewing her, yes, through the phone. she was shaking so badly due to nerves but she still managed to complete the conv [tho frm what she described, she really wasn't at her best]. but that's not the point. the point is, she managed to make such an impression on that particular Mr Ng that he called her! Her email and calls just demonstrates her passion for Dip Plus. and her efforts paid off. it's like getting a new clue in the development of a new strain for GM food [be it rice, potatoes or other fruits, veg, staples that I, frankly speaking, cant list out for you right now. or rather, the list can be far too long]. Although there is still a long way towards the actual harvesting of this particular GM crop [with whatever pros, such as shorter harvesting time, higher yield, higher tolerance level to frost, that ultimately results in an increased food supply. tho most of these may not end up in the hands, or to be exact, mouth and stomach, of those who are in most need of it.] , it is still a step, however small, towards the goal.
and she's doing it. inching her way.

I am so proud of my BFF and her short story[ending not known yet] really inspires me. I feel that this is an example of how we should live our lives. should we stumble through life aimlessly and make this the most unmeaningful walk we have taken or should we make it an exhilarating sprint to the finish line? you make the choice. I just want to tell my BFF: no matter the ending is that of a HK comedy or a Korean-you-just-can't-help-but-weep-soap, you know you have learnt the lesson. one that pulls you back to reality, whether cruelly or leniently. and THIS is the most important thing. right?

I love you too and I'm sorry I am not always available. I will take note tho, and hopefully you'll always find me there to catch, when you jump. cliche. I know.


_*sorry to those who are reading, for the lousy GM food example (I have no idea why, but it just came to mind) and some of the other rubbish I wrote.


I learnt sth today: Do what you love to love what you do."

i'm really speechless and dumbfounded. the feeling was just so intense i cried.
i had one of the best night of my life.
i have a friend who is actually inspired by me.
that's really such a BIG-ASS bombastic word to me.
and i have a friend who cared enough to call me.
i love my wonderful friends.

Credits to my elder brother, for the quote he told me: "Do what you love to love what you do".

♥ claire:
the most awesome and amazing sweet girl i've ever met.
i was kinda worried when you smsed and said you wanna talk while i was at work.
i thought something went wrong between you and eugene.
i was stupidly worrying that what if i don't call you soon enough and something bad happens, it'll be all my fault.
but i was assured when i heard your cheerful voice, followed by,
"What happened, Carmen? Why did you sound so sad in your blog recently?"
we talked and talked into the night. about everything and anything.
we haven't talked like that for so long.
just the two of us.
it felt so good. i slept really well. a smile lingered on my face. a warmth emanated from me deep within, just thinking of these 2 sweetest things on earth the holy beings above the clouds bestowed me.

Dunman High Prom:
yes i know i took your first kiss. you took MINE too, so stop grumbling. and stop asking me to marry you.

look at that contented look on my face! and miss snail looking like she's so devoted to (kissing) me whole-heartedly.

and after all,

you two are my wonderwall.

with you, i will not fall,

i will not fall.
