Never felt this way...

I just want to put it out there.. Why am I so confused? Never felt this way and can't believe that I am in a situation where im wayyyy over my head. its like im back in sec school and never learnt about it.

Its prob one of those life lessons that God is reminding me to think about.

I feel like im back to square one. like I didn't learn my lesson. and God is testing my patience and strength.

Irony?! I only have God to turn to and pray that I choose the right path...

The Palms

My colleagues and I went to have dinner the other day after work.. It was really nice.. Spending quality time with them.. Talking about work.. About other colleagues.. Well more like gossipping.. hehehe..

They were so nice to bring me to a restaurant that served Halal food. It was somewhere at Glen Waverley.. So the drive there was pretty short.. I think about 5 of us ended up going with like 4 cars.. hahaha..

The restaurant, called The Palms, was pretty good. It had a Singaporean theme to it, decorated with old-style Singapore shophouses. They even had teh tarik but i wasnt in the mood for it.
I had Butter Chicken with Garlic Naan. Seriously, it was good. Abit more sweeter than what I usually have at other restaurants, but still.. Good choice!!

I would definitely recommend to go there.. Well especially if you're craving for some Singapore style food. I think one of the best things about the restaurant is getting to see all these people who eats there, ordering food like there is no tomorrow. Feels right at home.. Prob like an air-conditioned version of Simpang Bedok but w/o western food.

Visit me in Melbourne and I'll be sure to bring you there!! Hehehe.. =D

What's wrong with watching Movies by yourself?

I went to watch Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen on Opening Night, 24th June 2009.
I have asked quite a number of my friends to join me for a movie night but unfortunately everyone seems to be too busy and cant be bothered with watching Transformers on a weekday night.

It may seem that there goes my plans to watch Transformers on Opening Night but Nooo.. It suddenly came to... Why not watch it myself? No harm in doing that.. Right?!~
The friends whom i asked earlier to join me, eventually came back asking.. "So did you manage to get anyone else to go with you?" And my answer would be "No. But i will still be going, by myself."

Then comes this whole dialogue about going to the movies.. "By yourself? Are you crazy??"
Huh?! Crazy about what?? Transformers or going to watch a movie by myself?? Erm.. Then it dawned on me that they have never done that before and to them, watching a movie by yourself just seems.. Lonely and pathetic.. Geesh!!

Really?? Does it seem sad and pathetic? Which part?? The part where you have passion for something you really really like or love.. That by being different and putting yourself out there.. Seems sad and pathetic? Why is it that people think that if someone goes to a movie by themselves, they are actually sad and pathetic? Its not like you can talk at the movies.. Its not like you can have a full length conversation with your other half while watching a movie in the cinema.. Its also the fact that not everyone likes the same type of movies you like.. So what then? Are you going to put your life on hold just because you cant find someone to share the experience with??

When i ask these same questions back to my "friends" who called me crazy, they are totally stunned and speechless. Which made me realise, maybe these ARE the people who cant do things by themselves because they ARE afraid, scared, sad and pathetic.. Not being able to do something unless there is someone or anyone for that matter, who can be there for them.. and guide them.. and.. blah blah blah..

Call me crazy.. But i think its time to GROW UP!!~

On a lighter note, i think Transformers 2 rocks!! I thought i have seen it all.. The action.. the stunts.. the CGI images.. But Michael Bay just keeps coming back with more unbelievable ideas.. Oh god.. I can only dream of meeting him one day and picking his brain.. If you havent seen it, go watch it.. I highly recommend it!!

PS: There happened to be quite a number of people who went to watch T2 by themselves.. LOL.. If only we get time to meet and get to know each other.. LMAO..

Bridemaids' Dresses

For the past few weekends, Ive been trying out bridemaid's dresses at all sorts of stores around Victoria, well mainly the South Eastern areas. My friend, on the other hand, have tried on the Wedding gowns.. And it was really, really, really fun!

We didnt try any at the first store we went to at Dandenong. It was a decent store with really affordable dresses. The designs werent that fantastic but they were still decent enough.

The second store I went to was Ferrari. Ruzi really looked good in the wedding gowns.. It's like her fairy tale is really coming true now.. Me on the other hand, cant decide what to try on and wear. The price was about my budget price but still it was pretty steep.

Nonetheless, we continued spending countless hours looking around. And finally, i found something i like at a store near East Malvern i think.. The designer is Alfred Angelo and the dresses are just awesome!! Though i still need to find a jacket to match the pink dress (which is the theme color of the wedding - pink and white).

Here are some of my fav designs. Let me know what you think.



This would be my favourite.

Love Story by Taylor Swift

Everytime i listen to this song it just remind me of my past.
The song is soo cute & adorable.. *sighs*
LOL.. Enjoy guys!..

Love Story by Taylor Swift

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know

That you were Romeo
You were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go

And I said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes, escape this town for a little while

Oh, oh, oh

'Cause you were Romeo,
I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go

And I said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes

Romeo, save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes

Oh oh

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town

And I said
Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said

Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby, just say yes

Oh, oh, oh, oh

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
