When things happen out of your control and you can only stare on helplessly When every lie cuts you deeper than razor but your tongue can't stop because the lies are the only thing holding up the sky When you're being supported on a bed of spikes and all you're wearing is a suit of blades and the only thing worse than trying to leave is not leaving but you're strapped down by iron cuffs and

Tioman Escapade

2012-02-12T03:37:00.000+08:00

A long while ago, me and qf escaped for a weekend to Tioman. It was during my school term, so we could only go for the weekend. Nevertheless, it was still a much appreciated getaway :) Tioman is made up of a couple of different areas that are pretty much secluded and not linked, which means you have to take a ferry from one area to another. So pick your resort wisely, as it would determine where

21 things I did when I was 21

2012-02-10T00:41:00.000+08:00

I know most people do this post during new year, or before, or shortly after. But I figured since my birthday is so close to new year, and to chinese new year, I might as well make it more technical. So this stuff actually happened while I was actually 21, and not just during the year in which I was 21. Geddit? Like, from feb to feb. To be more technical, from feb 10 to feb 10. In no particular

10 things you should probably know

2012-02-01T10:02:00.000+08:00

Well, not just any 10. Before I start, today is the start of February. Which you should know is a special month to me. I rarely know anyone that is born in Feb; but if you are, know that you are special. Which is also why I have created this list. Yea this is also the list which I accidentally posted from my phone AGES ago (so you know how special this is). 10 things you should probably

2012-01-31T07:01:00.000+08:00

Trying to blog about how great my life is is not coming to fruit. Why? Cause frankly, it is not. It sucks. And I have no motivation to blog about any happy stuff at all either because: 1) it comes out all wrong because I'm so depressed or 2) I have no time. Really, 2) is the main reason 90% of the time and is in fact THE reason why I am even depressed. So don't hate me, hate SMU.

Life in fairytaleland

2012-01-13T18:36:00.001+08:00

It's almost halfway through Jan, one over twenty-six through 2012. I'm sick of saying time flies, although it's true. I mean, it already feels like 2012 is ending already. Hah. Sick joke but it's true right. I mean, I feel like I've been living in 2012 since FOREVER. Okay, enough with the bad humour. True intention of this post. I'm thinking of revamping my whole identity online. No, I'm not

Cut off from the world

2011-12-12T00:09:00.000+08:00

After more than 4 months of living with on and off connectivity, strangely I have only just reached a what ought to be obvious realization: for every nanosecond that has passed, the world accelerates; and I am not there to catch up with its acceleration. I mean, sure, I have entertained the thought of the inevitable change of pace I will have to adapt myself to after 5 months. But I forgot to

Who is sterdam? Part II

2011-11-29T03:31:00.001+08:00

Well, I AM. Haha. When I look at their tourism slogan, I can't exactly decide what were they trying to bring across. I Amsterdam; were they intending it to be a noun, I am Amsterdam (I am taley); or a verb, I amsterdam (I blog); or an adjective, I am amsterdam (I am awesome); or were they intending 'I' to be a nicer sounding variation to 'my', as in iPhone (which actually means My phone with a

Who is sterdam? Part I

2011-11-14T19:58:00.001+08:00

I'm back with Amsterdam! <3 By far still one of my favourite places. Humans, bikes, cars, trams, all on the road at the same time. I love it that Amsterdam's so walking (and cycling) friendly! And so pretty too :3 And the fact that it's one of the European countries that remains alive even after dark. *If you don't

My fall/winter fling with Europe

2011-10-21T11:24:00.001+08:00

Even til now, everything feels too surreal to be true. Our amazing Changi airport. Emirates This is my first time flying emirates. At first glance, the seats are smaller then I would have liked. But I have to say, their service and good food made up for it. We had 2 meals on each flight, and wow they sure made sure I was never hungry. We had a friendly german stewardess who gave us

Shopping in Europe

2011-09-03T03:58:00.001+08:00

Hello from Rome! Just realized that since I'm here, I can buy some stuff for others back! Provided that I don't exceed my luggage limit of course. Alternatively, I could mail it back. Heh. So those who want something can ask me at fairytaleyland at gmail dot com. I'll be travelling to many parts of Europe so if I can I definitely will help buy! :) Amsterdam was amazing! Can't wait to blog

My love-hate relationship with Johor Bahru

2011-08-16T01:23:00.000+08:00

If you read my tweets (and still remember til now) you would have known this day started out terribly wrong, as it always does. I'm loving twitter so much more nowadays. It's always so..........updated, so dynamic. Unlike blogs, which take a long while to get updated - even the most hardworking bloggers take time to edit photos and type up stuffs - twitter's short and on the go. Another reason

Guilt-ridden blogger

2011-07-17T04:24:00.000+08:00

From the activity on my blog, you can tell that the word "interesting" didn't make it into my life this holiday. Work has been hell of a life-sucker literally. Sucks the living hell outta anyone. No idea how those people survive there, thought I have seen a couple quit during my time of less than 2 months (lol) and many are in fact new there (lolol). My mental state's been on a downward spiral

My love affair with Kuala Lumpur

2011-06-27T01:56:00.000+08:00

This is gonna be a long post, in fact my longest post ever, so please allow the pictures to load. If you don't see them just hit refresh. I'd have thought it's obvious but I had to say it just in case ;) --- I know KL, for many of us, may not be a very hyped up place to be at. It's not like Europe or the States, it may not be exotic like Maldives, Egypt, or some rural countries, it may not be

Dear dream, you're about to come true ♥

2011-05-30T05:17:00.003+08:00

I can't tell you how excited I am. I can't stop thinking about it. I keep thinking of ways to make it better. It's so difficult waiting for it to happen. Really, really, really hope nothing too bad will crop up along the way. I can't wait. Simply can't wait for it to happen. I want it to happen, like, NOW. Please, god, I need this break.

Is that a tax relief?

2011-05-17T03:23:00.002+08:00

I think I should do more of these 'what's up with me' posts so that I don't end up accumulating forgotten photos. Sometimes when the going gets lazy and I feel a huge inertia preventing me from doing what I want to do, I need to remind myself the reasons I started this blog. Today is one of those days. So, because I want to be able to look back and have a good memory, by that I mean an accurate

One fine day after exams

2011-05-08T09:06:00.001+08:00

Fruit Paradise I don't really have much to say nowadays and I think it's either because 1) life hasn't been that good; 2) I'm lazy; 3) I talk a lot but I didn't type it; 4) lazy to photoshop hence lazy to blog; or a combination of the above. So anyway, we had a tax outing on the day zl ended her exams. And everybody was late, as usual; and I was the latest. I really do need to do something

Sun-filled kisses on my cheeks

2011-04-29T03:16:00.002+08:00

Almost one year ago; Summer; Boracay 2010 :) So much lazing around and yet so much's been happening! I've been an early bird the past few days. Am really looking forward to what's about to happen but I can't tell you guys yet, in case I jinx it again. Soooo excited!! (:I seldom use the backward smiley face now so you know how excited I am. I'm flipping over, on my head, on my sides, and

A break, is so that we can walk longer and faster :)

2011-04-21T04:20:00.004+08:00

Exams are over!! I really need this break so badly. Right now me and my surroundings move according to a negative correlation function. When school (surroundings) stop, I start moving. Psychologically anyway. When school starts, I stop moving. I become dead inside and out. December break was enough to merely stir me, but not enough to move me, before I get frozen in that oh-so-awkward position.

Who is who now

2011-04-11T03:14:00.004+08:00

Not trying to be cryptic but I mean it literally, who is who now? Went back to read my tumblr because I simply got no mood to study. The more I read it, the more I find that ever since I shifted back to blogger, to yellowhammers, I've been losing myself. I became less and less of myself. I speak less and less human. And more ....fake, plastic, rigid, ....boring? Is it? Or have I just changed?

Long awaited GDO :)

2011-03-30T02:14:00.001+08:00

Tiring week ahead, so I'm deciding to post something I typed up long ago. I know this happened like 3 months ago, which is why I am going to go ahead and publish it anyway. No photos because I didn't bring my camera out and somehow we didn't thought to take any ): So, verbal recount only. [It's kinda like camwhoring takes up a lot of time. And we have so little time on hand already! Wanna spend

The Notebook

2011-03-24T12:48:00.003+08:00

Why I don't like the notebook: it glorifies his ' love' and 'sacrifice' for her as if is some greatest thing in the world wtf -.- Then what about the rest of us who live with it, with no help of nurses or whoever. Who about the rest of us who have nowhere to run to because it is our responsibility. And society EXPECTS us to do it. Oh, we are SUPPOSED to care for the old and needy. Putting them

I'm back on the train!! Hahas. So anyway we're meeting up again on saturday. And sunday meeting up with the gang. So rare that everyone's free! This is gonna be one super busy week. Should I start getting used to spending wee hours doing work instead of me-time? I was just discussing me-time with my friend. The thing is, now that we're year 2, we really treasure our time much more. And the

Life on the train

2011-03-22T16:44:00.005+08:00

It's monday! And I'm deciding to do a looking-forward-to post partially to help me get through the week. And also because the train I'm on right now seems too be taking forever. Hehe. When I'm typing on the phone, you tend to see more phone-ish language. You like the variation? Actually I don't, this language looks way to informal. Like I don't know you, but I know you. Argh. So this week I'm

Remember last christmas? Part II

2011-03-15T13:49:00.001+08:00

To compensate for that overly boring post, I decided to make a part II!! Haha. Ain't I nice, no? :) Actually maybe because I'm still living in 2010 and refuse to move on, I'm suffering from a major time lag. Shall spam here with photos of last christmas at orchard. For those who missed it, here's your chance (aside from thousands (or hundreds or millions, whichever suits you) other people who

Love bites

2011-03-10T04:08:00.004+08:00

Real love is all about... love bites??!?! Despite the title, this post is not about love bites. Aha sorry for grabbing your attention this crude way. This post is really about love. I know valentine's over, and I didn't celebrate it. I know you're either supposed to love it or hate it. Me, I'm pragmatic. I love it when people love it and hate it when people hate it. Love it when people love it

2011-03-02T17:10:00.000+08:00

Living in a time where there are just so many fellow bloggers out there, I can't help but wonder what makes a good one. As I look around, I see lots of blogs floating around the blogosphere that look and sound similar. To my surprise, this came as a surprise. Not at all in a good way. I thought the whole point of expressing yourself is to be yourself, and not be everyone else? Is mimicry the in

2011-02-20T02:47:00.001+08:00

Remember a while back I mentioned that I'll blog about christmas? Well here I am. My time lag seems to be getting worse and worse. Anyway, this is a really-really-really-really boring post. So please don't read it. It's more for myself to remember actually. Vin did come over to do cheesecake on the eve, albeit very late (like really eve). I had a facial booked at 5, after much fussing I got

Reminiscing Hog's Breathe. Bring me back there won't you? Yesterday while photoshopping this, I got really hungry all of a sudden. -- Digress. I seemed to have developed this bad habit of binging on new year goodies right before I sleep because that is when I realized I'm too hungry to sleep. And before that I'm usually too busy to notice or to take action. Mmm. Not good. -- So yea, I got

2011-02-05T00:32:00.001+08:00

New Year is not the time to blog about last christmas, so that'll have to wait. So instead I've got some photos which my sis so nicely uploaded onto fb, and some which I uploaded onto twitter via plixi. Heh. Ways to get around not having a usb cable at home and laggy connection. So nothing is photoshopped either, those seemingly-photoshopped ones are effects from my sis' phone :) Couldn't

And which is also why this shall be a short post before you doze off. I know! it's been so long. Sorry to disappoint. I don't really know what to do, which is kinda a irony given that there is so much to do. Exchange is really killing

As of now school has really started. It's here. I can't believe it. With that comes also the sad fact that holiday has yet again ended. I'll still be blogging, don't worry. Hopefully as frequent as I can. Inevitably I'll have less time. Just how much lesser, we'll see. This also means I will be starting my new gym schedule. I really really *hopes/prays/fervently wishes* it works out. Hoping to

While waiting for prata to arrive. Very sad that we kept quarrelling and being in tolerant of each other ): Think this is probably the last photo ba. Right before I went over to b's place. Taken using a very cool camera app I downloaded. Not photoshopped at all. Nice effects right :) Got this on evernote. Another app I downloaded. Think it's something like onenote, but it's online and probably

Now that christmas's over, everyone's reviewing their year and making new year resolutions. Should I do the same? I can't help but find it sickening to read another "This year I'm gonna do this and that blah blah accompanied maybe with lame photos of you attempting to do something"or "Looking back at my life in 2010, followed by a series of photos which was already blogged about"First with

What's with BLUE?

2010-12-29T19:44:00.001+08:00

I can't even being to count how many times people got me things that I hate/strongly dislike because it was blue in color. Digress a bit. Kinda makes me sad that no one remembers I hate blue. So much that I practically do not own any blue pieces of clothing or accessories unless necessary. Until I met a bf that loves blue and I was forced to be open to blue. Now I'm still open to it; I won't

Turns out I didn't spend christmas eve nor christmas totally alone after all. Will blog about that soon. ----- The other night when I was up late at night as usual, reading harry potter, - i know, I'm lag - something really strange

2010-12-24T09:53:00.005+08:00

1 day to christmas. What am I doing? Was just wrapping my mum and sis's christmas presents for them. None for myself. Is that sad or good? People complain they wish they don't have to spend, but do they really? Year after year I review my social life and it does seem all the same - bleak. Friends come and go. In uni, no one makes true friends. In JC, everyone has their own other friends. And all

Great new trick I learnt from here :) Can't wait to try them out on photos. Teeheex.

2010-12-15T04:26:00.001+08:00

I hope you're happy now. You just extinguished the light in my life. I used to spend tons of time shopping online. Now my life is aimless. Momentarily at least. It's not like I don't shop anymore. I still do, lots. But it just doesn't have the bling anymore. Take that as a lesson to learn. Everyone has their own interest. It's not up to you to dictate what is the "best" for the person. In fact,

I summed up my first week in tumblr's draft, shall move it up here once I got the photos. Some in mine, some not. Have been lazy in uploading photos so none of my posts have any. Zzz.

May I ask you why, when you created me, you had an image of a sad, distorted girl? Why now, am I not allowed any peace. Why am I cursed to have a granddad like this to torture everyone. He makes everyone hate home. Why am I cursed to a family like this whom I feel no love for whatsoever for. Dear God, if you have any hindsight, I hope you see that you have made a very bad decision in creating

HELLO WORLD

2010-12-10T02:37:00.004+08:00

The hols are here. Everything should be perfect. I'm feeling so much joy. I wanna share it with everyone around me. Yet again and again this joy gets dampened and trampled on. I feel like crying. I feel hurt. And empty. I feel trampled on just like my joy. Why am I not allowed freedom and happiness? Don't I deserve it? Why does life do this to me? Whenever this happens, I start to wonder, is it
