the random adventures of jojo

Am quite miffed with just about the whole world right now. Not being able to fall asleep, yet knowing I have to be up in 4 hours is messing with my mind.

Not being able to fall asleep, and having a dull pain at the back of my head as a result of not sleeping is just plain annoying.

By the way, you should know that I hate it when I get shot down when I say that I am not a social person, and that I don’t like social obligations, gatherings and the like. I have my days too, so just screw off and stop acting like you know me better than I know myself.

I don’t bloody give a damn if you’re joking. Guess what, buddy? Jokes get old, and then they’re not funny anymore. The ones that weren’t funny to begin with end up rubbing people the wrong way.

On a separate note, STOP MAKING ME FEEL LIKE I AM NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
I shouldn’t need to feel like I constantly need your approval.

We all have our own different strengths and weaknesses. Mine aren’t the same as yours – I am weak in things that come easy to you.

On another separate note, empty words break my heart. Doesn’t matter if it was something big and major or smaller, because it really doesn’t piece back meaning into empty words.

… Or maybe, I’m just miffed at myself for being so disgustingly flawed.

To have an awesome night of encountering God with Pinkie and Hillsong end off with ice cream at 3.30 in the morning in my cold air-conditioned room while tucked in bed under the comforter, followed by a cup of super cold iced water… this is bliss.

The only thing that could possibly make this moment any better would be to have you here to enjoy it with me, me thinks.

These small, simple stuff are what makes life worth living.

Seriously, I need to stop shopping! Although, I am a firm believer in retail therapy. Just look at me today – all smiles and excited because I’d bought stuff! Hehe.

Headed down to the Puma private sale this morning with Pinkie. He didn’t find anything he liked (he didn’t like the super comfy stripey guys jacket that I picked out! Sheesh, how can anyone not like stripes??), but I picked up my hot pink jacket! Loveeeee!! I love jackets and sweaters; it’s just that most of the time it’s too damn hot to wear them in Singapore.

How do you wear your jackets? Nice and snug or loose and flappy baggy?

I used to love super huge jackets because of how big the were – so comfy and you can hide all fat under all that excess cloth! Hehe. I think I might have grown a little out of that phase though, because I realised while trying on jackets today, I’m starting to prefer them to fit a little more snugly so that the jacket doesn’t look too baggy.

One major rule I have when picking out jackets is that the sleeves have to be longer than my arms! What bugs me the most about jackets is when my hands are freezing cold while the rest of me is warm. I like tucking my hands into the sleeves and erm, flapping around. Much to Pinkie’s amusement, this flapping business. Haha.

We left Puma after awhile and popped by the Royal Sporting House factory outlet store downstairs. Walked around the shop and Pinkie pointed out a hot pink Nike jacket to me. I KNOW RIGHT. Hot pink again?? O but don’t stone me, please. This cut’s different from all my other jackets – it’s a proper lady’s jacket cut that fits super snugly. Just nice, actually! Pinkie didn’t like the collar much but I gave in to pinkdom and picked it up anyway. 50% off! Heee.

Circled the store a few more times because he was waiting for his friend to get back to him on a pair of shoes he wanted. Whilst going round and round, I kinda accidentally chanced upon a pair of Lacoste red pumps. So cute! I thought they looked like strawberries! Hehehe. I just had to try them on, of course.

Pottered around looking for sizes in the boxes stacked under the shelves, when suddenly my superhero boyfriend accidentally found a pair in black! Which was awesomeeeee. And erm yes, I bought them too. *shame faced* O but they were at 50% discount too! AHAHAHA. I is teh rocks!

After seeing me spend money (which I really shouldn’t, but you know, I rationalise and figure that I need these things for school and they’d be useful to have, although I know I don’t need 2 hot pink jackets in a day but I didn’t like the other colour options you see! yes. rambling.) Pinkie decided that he wanted to shop around too, so we headed to Vivo.

Can I just say that having GPS on my phone is totally awesome?! Never mind that there are a thousand other reasons why I love my iPhone (which, in case you didn’t know, is also decked in hot pink!) but having GPS + data plan rocks! Being able to check the map, check gothere.sg, check the next bus arriving time, check bus routes… just rocks my socks. Heee.

We walked around Vivo just window shopping, and it was lovely. I love simple days like these when we’re just spending time together. Hehe.

He requested to have lunch at McDonald’s because…….. SHAKER FRIES ARE BACK!!!!!!!!! Shake shake shake! After the frenzy on Twitter yesterday morning when I woke up, I ordered McDees for my late lunch and happily informed him that I had seaweed shaker fries! Yummy! I wish the pepper one would come back though! Together with the black pepper burger, please. And twister fries too! Oooh.

Oh, and McWings make my day, despite the amount of fat and oil… Too damn nice!

EY. I miss the rice burger at McDees, actually. I miss it, A LOT. Even though no one else really liked it. Not many of my friends, that is.. but I really really really liked it a lot. When it got taken off the menu, I was so sad! Never really know what to eat there anymore since then. Haha. They’re all second choices, bah.

Pinkie also convinced me to invest in a proper pair of shades with proper protection for my eyes against UV rays, and not get cheap shades. There goes money again… especially since I found a pair of Ray Ban’s that I likeeee. Have you any idea how difficult it is to find a pair of shades that actually fits my face?! OMG. Trying not to spend money!!! Boo.

I seem to be digressing a lot today, huh?

Anyway, today was an important day also because MY BROTHER BOOKED OUT FROM CAMP FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!!!!! *happy face* I’m not extremely close to my brother, but I really was rather sad that he was going into NS two weeks ago. During the two weeks, he’d call or sms me quite often to just chat. We’ve never really had that sort of close relationship, so it was really nice. Something good that NS brings, I suppose.

I wanted to take him to the secret Jappy place that Qwen introduced me too, but we didn’t make it in time for their last order. My tummy is sad, cos she really wanted the beef teriyaki set tonight! Boo. My second choice didn’t happen either, because they ran out of hot soup for their ramen. SHEESH.

Headed to Waraku instead. Joel was happy with dinner, so I guess that’s all that mattered. I’m so not used to seeing him with no hair on his head!! Hahahaha. He looks older without hair. Lol.

Ah well. It’s devotions with Pinkie tomorrow, and then Hillsong concert. Awesome.

Have we forgotten what true worship is?
God’s greatest and most important command in the bible is to Love one another. Worshipping God goes far and beyond the mere definition of the word itself, i/e praying and going to church etc etc. Worship is an act of your entire life.
As I’d noted in a post on Flippers & Paws, what use is it if you focus on praying etc if you neglect the felt needs of the ones you are watching over?? Sigh…

Dear God, please bring me back close to you. Thank you.
I pray in Jesus’ most precious name, Amen.

Alright, I need to get some sleep to recover from my 2 hour sleep nap last night and a long day out!! Grarrrrrr.

Today was my birthday!

Hahaha, okay.. Not quite. Pinkie celebrated my birthday today though, only because I insist on it cos he isn’t in the country on my actual birthday.

Proper update another day, I promise. Right now I just wanna rave about my new found love, and whine about its current shortage in my life.

We had lunch at Da Paolo’s at Holland V, where I had awesome pasta. He ordered the mushroom risotto, and I picked at it. I LOVE RISOTTO!!!!! *swoons*

The comforting, mushy-ness and hell lot of cheese… mmmm! *happy face*

I’ve spent the past few hours thinking of the risotto and I can’t seem to stop!! GAH. Am now on a hunt for more risotto here in Singapore!

Anyone knows where I can get good risotto here?? PLEASE SHARE! I PROMISE I WILL LOVE YOU AND BE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL. nom nom nom.

(I am so hungry now.. but I bet everything I get to eat will taste like crap because all my tummy wants is risotto!!!!!)

After months and months of trying not to think of the gorgeous hot pink version of the lomo cam, Diana F+, I went into the Lomography Asia website again. Nooooooo!!

Introducing Mr Pink!!! (Yes, that really is the name of the camera lah! I didn’t name him!)

SO PRETTY RIGHT!!! *squee* I loveee lomography, and I’ve wanted a camera with more options than my Coloursplash has for a long time. Passed on the Holga, and then lusted after the LC-A for a bit but was still apprehensive. When I came across the Diana F+, I kinda accidentally fell in love.. especially since there’s such a lovely hot pink one!! *swoons*

It’s sitting pretty in my shopping cart on the Lomography Asia website already, complete with the backing accessory to enable me to take photos on 35mm film and not just 120, which is crazy expensive to keep developing! HOW NOW BROWN COW? I is poor.

Sigh, no income = no splurging! I need monehhhh. Mr Pink’s gonna cost about 200+ SGD, including the backing. *rapidly closes all browser tabs*

On top of Mr Pink, other more major stuff that I am saving for include the D90 and a trip next year. Both of which are going to cost me somewhere in the thousands.. *sad face*

Looking past the negatives, on the flip side, I was pretty impressed and touched by a group of people today. When I see or personally experience people being protected and looked out for by a bigger entity or someone else who has more power to do so, I truly do appreciate it.

I appreciate it when people are genuinely nice; it gives me renewed faith in humans in general, and for me, this took more importance and significance than anything else today.

Pinkie got back from Hong Kong last Friday, and to my utmost delight he came back with presents for me!! *squeal* Hee hee. He got me a Kate Spade wallet from the factory outlet there.. love!

He also got me a bar of Godiva milk chocolate with macadamia nuts!

It was so niceeeee! *MELTS* I opened it after I had my meal, thinking that there was no way I was going to finish it because I was already quite full, but it was so smooth and light that I kinda gobbled it up. The macadamia nuts were roasted.. so lovely! *happy face*

He got himself a packet of fun-sized Milky Way chocolates. He asked if I’d tried that before, and repeatedly told me that it’s his favourite chocolate over the course of a couple of hours. Haha.

He also told me that he got me the bar of Godiva because he was trying to spend a certain amount in the shop to get a discount off his purchases. (My sulky boyfriend very romantic ah??) HAHAHA!

Anyway, I bit into the wonderful bar of chocolate and looked like this:

So I let Pinkie take a bite, and then…… he wanted to exchange his Milky Way for my bar of Godiva. Hahahaha. I want moreeee!! I finished up the bar too quickly.. Meh.

I’ve been feeling randomly excited for the past few hours, for reasons beyond me. And then I suddenly remembered where I’m headed to for dinner tomorrow with Pinkie and his parents… and now I really am *madly* excited. HAHA.

O, and I’ve declared this entire week my birthday! Mostly for Pinkie who wasn’t around when my birthday actually did roll around in February.

No need for sorrow and despair.

Meeting up with ex-colleagues has always been nothing short of a little something called Wonderful, whether it was someone from my first part time job I held when I was 14, someone from my first and favourite proper full-time fun as hell job or people from the wacky (whacked?) place I just left a couple of months back.

I wish more people would take the time to meet up, with each other. Not necessarily with me, but just with people who matter. People come and go in our lives because life is transient and we go through different phases and seasons as we grow up, but still, I wish people would make more of an effort to remain close to the people who were once important to us instead of blaming life for drifting apart.

For that, I’m glad for my life because I think I’ve managed to keep the people who matter close by my side, if not physically. There’ve been slips between the cracks, inevitably but I suppose this is a reminder to myself to constantly make that effort on my part.

Finally meeting Hana the Super Spudnik tomorrow for a late dinner. Insanely excited about this! Heeee.

Lunch was with the Spoonsters, to celebrate Li-wei’s birthday. I was so tempted to bring Meatball along to celebrate her birthday alongside him! Hee hee hee. I’m disappointed that I am disappointed with Saraceno. Re-read that, because it makes sense. I wish mains could be as consistent and of the same quality as starters. Maybe I could just go and get full on starters? Lol.

Meeting up with my oldest friend is always fun. Lee Teng & I may be worlds apart in terms of personality and character, but somehow it just clicks. Wonderful how life works out. An indication of how vastly different we are – there is possibly only one friend we have in common that we both like.

On a separate note, school is starting in less than 2 weeks and I am mildy freaked out. I won’t have any friends, boohoo. It’s the first time I’ll be back in school after 3 years working full-time.. Ahh! O save me. At least orientation is only a day – THANK GOD, because I hate icebreakers and self-introductions. Haha. I am so anti-social sometimes. Shy, okay?

Don't you all wish you could lie in bed, cuddled up all day? I haven't bummed around enough yet! nooooooo.....!

Oh, and if you haven’t already, please please please watch this awesome stop motion video by Olympus. It’s for their 50th anniversary as well as the launch of the gorgeoussss EP-1 PEN camera. Lovely video! And camera. *lusts*

More information here. You can also download the song that was specially created for this at the link, for free.

Stop motion is awesomez!
Life is also teh awesomez because my boyfriend rocks my socks! It isn’t the amount spent, but the thought that goes behind the physical gifts. He’s home tomorrow! <3

Aloha, sunshines!! How’s your Tuesday rolling along? Tuesdays have always been my favourite day of the week, for no apparent reason. I suspect it might have started in secondary school, because we were let out half an hour earlier on Tuesdays because the teachers had their weekly staff meeting.

My Tuesday was awesomeee! I woke up late though, at about 12noon because I couldn’t sleep last night until.. well, this morning. I fell asleep at 8am! WHAT THE. Crawled out of bed after repeated phone calls from Dawn, who I was supposed to meet for lunch. Heh heh.

We pushed back the meeting time to 1.30pm and amazingly enough, I made it in time! All because the bus that takes me to the MRT station arrived just as I reached the bus stop. Don’t you just love days like these! From then on, it took me less than half an hour to reach Orchard. Wonderful! Ahahaha!

I am so irritatingly chirpy today, huh?!

ANYWAY! Dawnie and I met up to go…… MAKEUP SHOPPING!!! *mad happy squeals* OMG, I loveeee shopping for makeup! She finally decided to listen to me (and possibly a few others too) to get her own foundation! I am so happy! Milestone! HAHAHA ok I will shut up now.

We decided to get lunch first and had the most disgusting lunch I’ve had at Takashimaya. Ughh. Being on a budget (actually, my exact words were – save money on food, spend more on makeup!) we decided to eat at the Taka Food Court. She wanted Jap rice and I didn’t feel like eating Saba from the lovely stall behind the food court, and I decided that Yoshinoya sucks (she had a craving, oops) so we settled on the Japanese stall at the entrance of the food court.

Big mistake. Dawn went to order her food first, and then came back with a bowl of rice and beef, much like the Yoshinoya one. It looked alright so I got up to order a bowl of ramen. Thus began my miserable experience. Not knowing what the different types of ramen listed on their board meant, I asked the lady (auntie?) at the counter. MIGHT AS WELL DON’T ASK.

AUNTIE: Oh, they are just different soup bases.
ME: Yea, what’s the difference between the first 3?
AUNTIE: Errr, jiang you and… salt.
ME: Errr…. huh?
AUNTIE: Aiya, actually about the same. The difference very little.
ME: *confused* But what’s the difference?
AUNTIE: Soy sauce, and salt lor. Which one you want? There. It’s different. *points to menu* Can see? Different one.
ME: Ya, I can see. But I don’t understand, that’s why I’m asking?!

BAH! Ordered the Miso in the end, even though I’m not fond of it because the conversation was just going NOWHERE. It was a measly portion. How do I put this – it was $7.90, had ONE slice of fish cake, ONE slice of char siew and a tiny portion of noodles. Get this: I wasn’t hungry when I sat down, and when I was done with my noodles, I wasn’t full! WTH. She said she thinks Yoshinoya tastes better than the food she had. Omg.

Never mindddd. Off to look for foundation for Dawn and shoes for me! All my footwear seem to hurt because the comfortable ones are dying or have died. Need shoes for school! Heh heh.

Wandered around testing different brands of foundations for her. Also wandered into Schu where I was hopping around in excitement from the cute shoes and colours around! Hehehe. I got 2 pairs of pumps! The second pair that you buy goes at a 50% discount, soooo 2 colours for me! GUESS WHAT COLOURS I GOT. HAHA!

I got….. PINK! Stop rolling your eyes.
One pair in pale pink for easy matching, and the other in HOT PINK. I’m in love with my shoes! Initially stayed away from the hot pink even though the colour was lovely because I thought I’d look mad in it. Plus.. how to match! Couldn’t resist trying them on anyway.. and then didn’t want to take them off. I am incorrigible, I know.

Trotted off to Tangs where Dawn continued trying different foundations. The blush colours at Shu Uemera are lovelyyyy! But so expensive. Meep. I love looking at blush colours! All the wonderful shades of pink staring happily at me. *happy sigh*

Dawn finally settled on MAC’s Studio Fix foundation. $47, no refills. You just buy the whole compact each time you need to. Sounds pretty good to me! I asked to try my shade, just for fun.. And when I went to the mirror, I gasped. Not because it was hideous.. Nooooo but because!!! I couldn’t even tell where it was applied! It blended in with my skin tone soooo well. OH MANNNN. Why! Why you tempt me like this! I am a poor unemployed soon-to-be student, you know!!!

What’s worse is that I think I am supposed to use Studio Tech (?) which is extra moisturising, and has SPF. My skin flakes when I apply foundation, so I need the extra moisturising stuff. And this one is $72!!!! Pft. Only because it’s the case + refills. Refills are at $58. How now, brown cows?

I’m currently using Ettusais’ foundation and it’s served me well. Hesitating between switching brands because this is my first Ettusais foundation, i/e I haven’t even used enough to buy refills yet. Sheesh. Talk about fickle. Their refills are $48.

If I do switch to MAC, I’ll finish up whatever’s left I suppose. Oh well. We’ll see when the time comes.

At the MAC counter, I couldn’t resist getting something though. I got blusher!! *happy* Nice shade of natural pink.. It’s called Pinch o’ Peach! HOW ADORABLE. Ahahahaha.

I headed off after that to meet CLARA!!!!!! OMG I haven’t seen my bestie in AGES AND AGES AND AGES. So happy we finally met up today. I love how we don’t meet for months on end because of our insane schedules, and yet when we meet there isn’t even a second of awkwardness. There’s no time wasted getting used to being around each other – love!

We went to get her a bible at Tecman. YES, MY BESTIE HAS ACCEPTED CHRIST!!!!! Praise God! I am so happy, hehehe! She got an awesome bible.. I also want!!! It’s black and has 3 nice big swirls of shimmer – hot pink (!!!) / turquoise / amber. Niceee. I also managed to pick up the next book that Pinkie & I are gonna use for our devotions! Haven’t managed to find those at TrumpetPraise, so YAY! Happy I found them. =)

Met up with Hammy for awhile because she happened to be in the area. OMG, I miss you so much, you know?!?! Even though it was only a short while, I was really really glad for it! We need a proper outing soon.. =(

After sitting around for awhile, Clara and I headed off to dinner. Went off to this tiny Jap place that Qwen told me about. I shall not tell you where it is! *smug face* Lovely, hidden away.. Tucked with good food and super affordable, especially for its quality! Heh heh. Downsides are the location + horrible grumpy aunties + menus with no pictures or descriptions. Hahaha.

I had the beef teriyaki set today, and it was AMAZING! The beef tasted of the grill, and was cooked just right. Oh so happy. Hee hee hee.

Speaking of food, I am hungry already!! Off for food.

My parents are heading off to Genting for a few days, and my mum came in and told me, “I bought enough snacks to last you!” We’ll see.. HAHAHAHAHA.

My brother just went into army last week, and I wasn’t able to send him in because of the H1N1 guidelines. Boo. 2 people were to send him in, instead of the previously mentioned 5. So sadddd. I miss having him around.. Meh. He texted me earlier, and said that the days are long and tiring and that he didn’t think he would wanna see his family so badly.

!!!

He can’t wait for the 24th, when he can come home after being in Tekong for 2 weeks. Shall bring him out to eat when he gets out!! I can’t believe I miss my smelly brother. Hahaha.

Ok, Imma head off to raid the supply of snacks that my Mum claims is enough to last me and see if she’s right!! Hee hee.

After the previous post, I really did go off to make dinner. I cooked macaroni (loveee!) with tomato-based pasta sauce. Also had slices of chicken franks and some black pepper SPAM. *burp*

Err.. I think I might have cooked a little too much though.. because I am still full!!! Like hellooo, this is Jolene we’re talking about here! The one who’s hungry every 2 hours or so. *miserable face*

And to top it off, because I am this full, I can’t have my chocolate milk. Sheesh..

In my state of misery from feeling like I’m gonna burst, I decided to finally get down to editing the photos from the Tioman trip last month! Quite an accomplishment, I must say.. seeing as how I am queen of procrastination. Haha.

Last month, Dawnie, Pam, Pinkie and I headed off to the tiny island of Tioman! We met bright and early at Golden Mile to take the coach into Malaysia. Err.. ok, not quite bright because the sun was still sleeping. Pftt.

Dawnie and Pam on the bus!

Pinkie & me! Someone's not too happy huh.. hahaha

I’m not a big fan of long bus rides or plane rides.. mostly because my back starts to ache after a couple of hours and I get insanely uncomfortable. Grr. This bus driver was insane! Like some racer, he turned super sharp and fast corners. Quite fun, if you’re not in a big coach that threatens to swing off the slopes and plunge into endless rubber tree plantations……

YAY SPECS!!! <3

After the looong bus ride, we finally arrived at the ferry terminal where we’d take a ferry to Tioman! Pinkie’s contacts went crazy, so much to my delight, he put on his specs! Hee hee hee

Dawnie & me on the looong ferry ride!

We all thought the ferry ride was going to take about 45 minutes, as per the previous trip and what the agency mentioned to us but somehow.. that turned into a horribly long two hour journey! *sadness* I fell asleep and got a shock when I woke up and they told me two hours had passed already. Hahaha.

Finally got to Tioman, and headed to check-in. Dumped our stuff down and took a walk down the beach in front of the resort.. Being back at Tioman reminded me of the awesome time I had 2 (or was it 3?) years back when about half of Pam’s girls were around. Fun.. I miss those times.

The beach! Taken on Dawn's Fisheye lomo.

Clear waters make all of us happy!

Happy smiley Dawnie!

Twinnies!! Happy happy

Dawn sneaked photos of Pinkie and me. OMG, I have a huge ass. Hahahahahaha

Aww, man.. I like this photo I think I was pointing out seashells to him with my foot. Hehe

My favourite photo You can't see it from here, but he's going "rarr!!" at me.. Hahaha.

As part of the package which we were traveling with, most of the meals were provided for us at the resort. The resort may be small and tiny, and doesn’t look too impressive but my word.. the meals provided were awesome! Not in the exquisite 5 star resort food kind of way, but in a very comforting and simple food sort of way.

Stuffing ourselves silly at breakfast! See the lot of eggs?

Of course, no trip to a beach resort is complete without snorkeling! We headed out for a day trip to snorkel at various locations. Pinkie didn’t enjoy himself very much because of feeling seasick and all that jazz.. =(

As compared to a couple of years back, the waters are nowhere as clear.. and the fishes not as bright and colourful. So sad what pollution and human traffic can do to a place huh? Sigh.. this is why efforts need to be made and maintained to protect the natural world that’s still around us. It made me so sad to think that this tiny island could change so much in a few years..

On the boat going out to snorkel!

There was some sort of mishap/adventure at my favourite spot to snorkel when we were there. Sigh.. sadness. I wished the snorkeling could have just taken place smoothly, without hiccups but ohwell.

On one of the days, before Pinkie and I headed to the tiny pool at the resort to float around and be lazy, there was a hugeass storm brewing. The wind was crazy, but because of where we were, the view of the clouds was just amazing.

Dawn captured the awesome storm clouds on her Fisheye! Love this picture

We got back to the room to find Skip and Pip attempting to get a tan in the room! AHAHAHAHAHA

The little room we all shared!

We all spent a good amount of time lazing in the room when we didn’t feel like being out in the sveltering sunshine… Nice to catch up on rest when we’re on a break. I absolutely hate holidays that have so much packed into it that I’m left feeling even more exhausted when I leave than when I arrived. Bangkok holidays don’t count.. because that involves a mad amount of shopping! Hehehe.

Pinkie fell asleep... with Skip and Pip by his side! AHAHAHA!!

Uh oh.. he wasn't too happy about being woken up to go for dinner!

So he made Skip take photos on his behalf! SO. DAMN. CUTE.

The few days at Tioman were sooooo hot! But it wasn’t as humid so it’s bearable as long as we were in the water or having a lot of ice cream. Pinkie went mad and overdosed on ice cream.. as did I. Hahaha. We’d walk into the first shop and buy a popsicle stick and then eat it whilst walking. By the time we got to the third shop, we’d have just finished the first popsicle so we popped right in to buy another! Hahahaha! I miss ice cream!! I want moreeeee! LOVE the orange popsicle ones. I shall have one the moment my cramps go away. Whee!

We spent parts of the trip watching Big Bang Theory, and listened to Olivia Ong sing whilst we napped on the ferry ride back. After being frustrated and stressed with various things along the way, I suppose it was all worth it if only because God chose the journey home to touch me in a way that I haven't felt in awhile. <3

I was taking photos of his MP3 player (which has an awesome AMOLED screen, by the way) during the ferry ride, and I snapped the following photo…

Notice anything?

After I’d snapped that photo, the stupid bear took my camera to look at it and started sniggering. I leaned over to see what was so funny, and he zoomed in on the photo…

!!!!!!!

OMG! SERIOUSLY! Hahahaha this stupid bear will be the death of me one day!! *glares* Haha..

And with that, we bid Tioman goodbye!

I still really really really want to head to Maldives. And Hawaii. *wistful sigh*

These days, whenever I open this page, I’m at a loss for words as to what to type. Not so much a case of not having anything to say or think about, but rather, the contrary.

It’s odd. I don’t like feeling so restricted.. although a sneaking suspicion tells me that this restriction is placed upon myself by me. Sheesh.

Perhaps I’ll just head off to cook some dinner and drink chocolate milk. *flops*
