Today is……… INTERNATIONAL POLAR BEAR DAY!!!!

OH MY.

I was born on International Polar Bear Day!

I am so totally a polar bear.

Say Hello to my new blog theme. Awesome!

I’ve spent the last few days nearly going blind staring at endless codes. Edited another one before this but by the time I was almost done, I kinda got sick of the layout. Not too good, I thought.

So I went on a mad hunt for a layout that, in Cheryl’s words, was not a rebound theme. HAHA.

This one used to be a deep blue but I decided to change it, driving myself insane in the mean time. Everyone guessed that it’d be pink! WHY? Hahahahaha!

The images at the top are a lil squashed and obviously not in proportion but ohwell. It’s because of a script that automatically resizes images from my posts to fit into the sliding thingy up there. I’m too lazy to specially crop my photos square just for it. Hahaha.

There were a few things that I wanted that this theme didn’t have (as with every theme I’ve used) so there was a lil but of fixing up the codes, which wasn’t as simply as copying and pasting from another layout. I’m incredibly proud of myself! HAHA. Each time I figured something out, the adrenalin rush + sense of satisfaction was… completely geeky.

I am such a geeky girlfriend.

Oh, and I also removed the tagboard, because I’ve always preferred comments on each entry – so now you all have to leave comments, YAY! Haha.

In other news, Happy Birthday, jojo.
I am so incredibly frustrated with a huge part of my life; today really doesn’t feel too happy.

There’s 23 hours left. How’s that for optimism?

Public transportation in Singapore have become a pet peeve. They make me soooo incredibly angsty. Quite amazing, actually.

Okay, to be fair… I adore long bus rides in our buses, and they’re fairly clean most of the time.

What I detest is how Singaporeans have no concept of personal space. And I’m not talking about 9am human traffic jams, by the way. If there is sufficient room around you, STAY THERE! Don’t come and breathe my air!

I also hate bus drivers who drive and slam the brakes every one metre. FUN AH?? Stop trying to fling your passengers all over the place! Grr.

*breathe*

The rants have to go somewhere, right?!
Although last night when I ranted to Pinkie, he couldn’t stop laughing. Pfftt!

jojo: *rambles on and on about my day for awhile*

kelv: hmm.. today I got up, and went to buy groceries.

jojo: mmhmm..

kelv: ya. that’s it. my day’s very boring.

HAHAHAHAHAHA MY BOYFRIEND IS RETARDED PLEASE! I thought he had some nice story to tell me about his exciting day or something! Pshhh.

kelv: ey, don’t you want to go to sleep? it’s 2am already!

jojo: WHAT??? I THOUGHT IT’S 1.30am!!! Oh nooooooo..

kelv: ah. see la! talk to boyfriend la, talk to boyfriend somemore. never keep track of time la!

jojo: what the hell who are you?? my mother???!!

Random excerpts from my life.
I doubt anyone who reads this space would actually know what’s going on in my life, especially these days.
This is mostly because most of my time is spent at work, and for now I’d rather remain silent about it because of various reasons. Sigh…

But anyway. My favourite times in my week are Thursdays when I have art class and Sundays when I have devotions sharing with Pinkie.

Art class is lots of fun – Michelle is crazy, and quite similiar to me heh.

I was super stressed with completing enough works, so I had to bring him home to complete at my own time. Scary, considering that this was the second time in my entire life I was using charcoal.

Here he is, halfway completed:

Got some help from Michelle with defining lines and shading the background and here he is.. completed!!

I totally gave up using watercolour paints for a piece I was in the middle of doing. Erm, correction. I decided to screw the piece and work with acrylic instead. Haha, it was driving me maddd.

And and and, I’m gonna start on a popart piece soon! SO EXCITING. Haha, really quite excited to start on that one heh!
I wanna paint youuuu! LOL. Ok I don’t think you want me to because I totally would paint you pink! Heh heh heh.

I’m in such a weird phase of my life, with constant attempts at embracing it and enjoying the days.

RUSSELL IS AWESOMEEEEE.

Not so secret anymore, as I bounced around and burst into happy faces when I met up with Tania last night and shared with her how my life has been so far.

“You’ve been happy for quite awhile, y’know?”

It’s nice to hear that from someone actually. Heh.
Life’s been goooood.

Picture spam! *shriek*

Crazy Spoon peeps:

Neoprint love! Haha, but the quality of this one was pretty bad, yo.
Notice Li-wei’s pretty bow? Hahahahaha.

Hearing you read Kahlil Gibran’s piece on Love to me was especially sweet, heh.

you make me happy, yo! hahaha!

I finally transferred the flowers that Pinkie sent me for Valentine’s into a vase, and it looks super pretty now!

Oh by the way, I’ve 2 fishies in the office now. They’re therapeutic to watch man!

Valentine’s Day was… nice

Oh c’mon. Enough with the rants about how commercialised and overrated it is! Sure, florists and gift shops (how tacky) drum up their prices to dupe unsuspecting lil boys but that’s not the point here, helloooo. Stop being so sour please pftt!

Yea yea everyday should be Valentine’s Day, you say. But I think sometimes in the busy-ness of our lives we need reminders like these specially marked days to take time to shower extra affection and reflect on the relationships in your life.

*glee*

I was really very pleasantly surprised when I received a huge bouquet of pink lilies from Pinkie! Hehehe!! I totally wasn’t expecting flowers from him, so it was really nice getting them! Hehe.

They’re huge and I got weird stares and an uncle went, “Eh nice flowers!” when I walked past. Pftt. Haha.

Happy Valentine’s
Too bad, you all can’t see the letter’s contents! Haha.

Thanks for knowing what makes me happy and then specially pampering me even though you know it isn’t necessary. More than that, thank you for making my everyday feel as special as Valentine’s Day anyway. Having both of us falling asleep whilst Skyping was strangely sweet, heh.

Thank you also, for everything last night. *squish*

Of course, Valentine’s Day isn’t just for couples (so cliche) and I spent it quite well with Pam & Leonard and erm, other church people I didn’t know before. Pam & Leonard were super sweet – they wanted to spend this year’s Valentine’s in a special way, spending time with the people they’re close to.

It’s been a good Valentine’s Day, even though we’re 10, 000km apart. *smucks!

Just as I was attempting (very hard, mind you) to resist the packet of Ruffles on my desk, my boss walks in and offers me part of his Chicken In A Biscuit.

Pfft, I can’t resist those things! HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT?

*on a hunt for a skinny person to eat*

Oh, and Happy Valentine’s Day to you!

Why is it that when I resolve to stop eating so much, or to put it positively – to eat less, Charmaine walks into the office with bags of chips and seaweed??!

And this morning before I left the house, I saw a box of my FAVOURITE Japanese corn chips.

Sigh, want to be angry also cannot.
The Ruffles cheese chips are as well man!

I AM NEVER GONNA LOSE THE EXCESS WEIGHT THIS WAY MAN.

WHERE’S
MY
SKINNY
PERSON???????????
*stares*

Psst, I also had 4 slices of pizza at lunch today. And leftover (orgasmic) cake from yesterday. *insert guilty face*
I am horrified by my appetite – 2 slices of pizza used to be too much for me!! OMG, what’s happening to me!

I attribute this wholly to Pinkie!! *stares*
1- He trained me how to eat even when I’m not hungry. To prevent gastric, he says. Pah!
2- My appetite SWELLS when I’m happy. Go figure. (Sigh but I want to be happy, not flabby! I am a poet.)

Okay, enough whining. *gasp*
As soon as my spanking new HOT PINK iPod nano gets to me, I. Am. Going. Jogging. *double gasp*

The thought of having 12-hour packed days for the rest of the week (yes, including Saturday and Sunday) has a horrid habit of overwhelming me at night before I fall asleep from mental and physical exhaustion. So many things to do, so little time.

No wonder in A Purpose-driven Life Rick Warren says that Love = Time.
I’d already known that (and not because my love language is predominantly Quality Time, mind you. It was from a session that Dawn shared at our retreat a couple of years back) but I suppose, no better time to learn than to experience it. Sickening kinesthetic learner.

Kelv and I are in the midst of Rick Warren’s book right now for devotions and it’s been an amazing journey of discovery and growth since we’ve started. We’re not yet halfway through but it’s already been so good thus far.

It’s true, you know. We can earn more money, buy more things and all that jazz but we can never get more time. Therefore it’s not about how much material things you give others as an expression of your love, but really, it’s how much time you set aside for them.

*breathe*
Therefore in the midst of my insane week(s) ahead, I will still commit time for people I love muchly so that I can spend time with them, whether physically or not. *nods*
And also filter out those that I cannot be bothered with, therefore not wasting time. *nods*

And note to self: In the midst of all this craziness, don’t forget the good things in my life – that I am essentially insanely happy with a huge part of my life.

ALSO, stop. eating. so. much.
Chinese New Year is over and my butt and thighs and tummy are fat fat fat so I should stop snacking now that I’ve completely polished off most of the CNY goodies in my house.
