Smart is Sexy

17th Sept. 2008.
From young, I'd picked up reading like my family does & I enjoy visiting the library. In fact, I think I can lived off in a polished & filled up library. In primary & high school, I had read up all those fictions & storybooks in the school library but dissapointed that there's not enough reading materials for me to continue the other half of the year. Now, in my uni college, I'm dissapointed again that this time it's worse! There's no fictions or anything other than study books at the moment. Only those fully pictorials graphic/fashion/illustration & interior design books are worthy because they are part of my study. Or not it's totally an empty library with left & right wings. The left wing is always empty un less a queu by the students during exam week. And the right wing is filled with student in cliques just hanging out because they can plug their laptops. Hopefully, they college library buck up!

I ♥ reading! ♥ books, newspapers, magazines & online articles.
Anything I can get my hand to read is just pure excitement on the knowledge/adventure received. I ♥ all forms of fictions & non-fictions type of books-autobiography, chick-lits, mysteries, teen & adult, self-help, travel & adventures, Christianity, psychology, science theories & "Dear Thelma" types.I ♥ poems & languages.
I ♥ script writing, theather pieces & plan to read & write music notes! I'm a linguist by nature.

We are too civil to books. For a few golden sentences we will turn over and actually read a volume of four or five hundred pages. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson


From every book invisible threads reach out to other books; and as the mind comes to use and control those threads the whole panorama of the world's life, past and present, becomes constantly more varied and interesting, while at the same time the mind's own powers of reflection and judgment are exercised and strengthened. ~Helen E. Haines


Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. ~Richard Steele, Tatler, 1710

Gone Fishing...

Does anybody wanna go fishing with me?
Plaids are in season this fall, but when I see them, it reminds me of the crispy fresh air in the forests & fishing by the lake.Whoever goes fishing, pliz bring me back a salmon! I ♥ fillet-o-fish by McD. That's my usual order for a burger. Tartan's miniskirt is cute though!

Man in Pink

I don't like man to wear pink.
It's so wrong...period.
Maybe the pink should go in the background.

Kookie Krazie~!

Plaids are in fashion.
I ♥ wearing braces.
Crazy in ♥ with chocolate chip cookies.
Here's a crazy style-wear, hot on the streets!

Doughnut Boy

15th Sept. 2008.
My love for you goes around like a doughnut!
You are the sprinkle on my pink heart glazed doughnut!

The Studio Office

15th Sept. 2008.
Step into my fabulous office! This is where I'm the entrepeuner woman, the filthy rich lady, the money mogul maker & the hot stuff that makes the world go around. No matter where your office situated in & whichever city metropolis or in your basement. You are the one who cut the deal. You make the choice! You choose your client. Whatever work or line you are in, make sure you have your own fabulous office.

I had cleaned up the cluttered library beside my bedroom to be used as my work space a.k.a the art studio. Since then, this dusty room has been utilised by my sibs with their laptops. Because my workload/assignments increase daily with art projects piling up, I needed my own space. So, I'm glad to finish up my work now.

Unicorn Dream

14th Sept. 2008.
I dream of white horses.
I dream of unicorns & mermaids.
I dream of blue water & blue skies.
I dream of the mooan in full circle.
I dream of a fantasy world.
I dream of miracles, not magic.
All-captured in a polaroid photo.

"Role-Play"

This is THE story of the couple of college sweethearts.
Me, the dumb bleached-blonde is the Captain of the cheer squad.
Pink is my favourite colour, it's more than a colour to me!
He is the Captain of the football club, track & swim team.
He is a jerk, he break my heart after we hook-up last summer.
We are Prom King & Queen & we danced the whole night.

The summer is over, now we enter college.
No longer the high school seniors, we are the college freshmen.
Starting anew our lives & getting a fresh start at our loves again.
Hopefully, our drama don't get us kick-out of campus.
I'm looking forward to the cute new President.
He is giving me a tour on campus ground after lunch with the ex-class president. Who knows, what luck?! After, making my new rep. as the varsity junior a.k.a the hot new chick in college.

I don't fully support role-play. They need to get a life. Stop dreaming of being the media stereotypes. Just be like that in real life & stop pretending. Be who you are & be proud of who you are! It's a game for wannabees!

Lil' Gurlz

14th Sept. 2008.
All the sweet nothings of a little angel
Yes, I had a happy childhood.

FERGIE
Big Girls Don't Cry
Da Da Da Da
The smell of your skin lingers on me now
You're probably on your flight back to your home town
I need some shelter of my own protection baby
To be with myself and center, clarity
Peace, Serenity

[CHORUS:]
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry

The path that I'm walking
I must go alone
I must take the baby steps 'til I'm full grown, full grown
Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I foresee the dark ahead if I stay

[CHORUS]

Like the little school mate in the school yard
We'll play jacks and uno cards
I'll be your best friend and you'll be my Valentine
Yes you can hold my hand if you want to
'Cause I want to hold yours too
We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds
But it's time for me to go home
It's getting late, dark outside
I need to be with myself and center, clarity
Peace, Serenity

[CHORUS]

Soul Angel

13th Sept. 2008.
Just felt like making an photo-realistic train postcard
after reading an article about a train ride in the newspaper today.

Here's a my written short story accompanying my set:

I'd hoped on the train last holiday,
Never look back, hoping for a better tomorrow,
Through it all I've been through.
I know the taste of life-bitter, sweet & cold.

I'm the Soul-track Angel on a mission,
I'm the Twisted Angel in your chatroom,
I'm the Sweet-face Dark Angel who gives dirty smiles,
Yours truly, the lone Guardian Angel beside you.

I've watched life & people on board,
I've seen tears shed alone,
I've heard whispers spoken inside,
I know you have a problem.

Why do you think you are alone?
When I'm beside you thinking the same.
Why do you hide your problems?
When I laid bare open my miseries.

I live an open translucent life.
But I'm transparent to the naked eyes.
We are all naked when I'd sent you on earth.
Until today, we are living life in nudity.
Should you hide? unless you are scared.
What's there to cover? When life needs to live wide open.
Don't hide the truth of your living souls.
So this train ride can go on in the silence.


KT Tunstall-Suddenly I See

Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around her is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

I feel like walking the world
Like walking the world
You can hear she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember
What you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on her word

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

And she's taller than most
And she's looking at me
I can see her eyes looking from a page in a magazine
Oh she makes me feel like I could be a tower
A big strong tower
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see

Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see (Suddenly I see)
Why the hell it means so much to me

Victorian Past Life

12th Sept. 2008.
The face in the mirror is mine.

She hold so tighthly to her heart.
The heart-shapped locket given at 8.
She only remember the face inside.
There was no memories only blurred images in her mind.
Why can't she recalled? She scolded herself.
Yet, that's what keeps her going strong.
The strength from within the silver heart.
The little precious object sometimes worth
More than any other things she keep by her bedside.
She learnt to never take things for granted.

One ... day, that locket was opened
By a boy who always teases her
And wanted to know what's inside
Who's photo she wear everyday
It cracked open, show the face
The tiny clock face, just to tell time
There was no picture, only the ticking sound...

She learnt to never take things for granted.
She learnt time fades away quickly.
She learnt to never take things for granted.
She learnt time will never turn back.

Happy Mother's Day (Next on: 10th May, 2009)

Made on 10th Sept. 2008.
I'd remembered my friend had a mum's photo like this in his wallet.

Dedicated to all Polyvore moms!
Here's a little story from me along with the set:
She look back over the years,
My, is not that long ago,
Since all the dress-up & glamour beauty queens.
There was her youth she once lived
Too never look back like her daughter
The young lady putting on black eye liner
The mommy now different & all grown up
Not in the way expected
Things appear as it not seems ...
So, this is now, she's a mommy
The daughter look up to her
The same face staring for comfort
The same eyes looking for understanding
The same nose twitching in disagreement
And the same lips speaking only in a different language this time.
The old photo showed the same person as she once was
The same person in the reflections
And the same little girl who never grow up in her eyes
Right in front of her now. You can't escape your past when it represent itself in full bloom facing you. So there's an acceptance from the heart after all.

Jonas Brothers
When You Look Me In The Eyes

If the heart is always searching,
Can you ever find a home?
I've been looking for that someone,
I'll never make it on my own.
Dreams can't take the place of loving you,
There's gotta be a million reasons why it's true

When you look me in the eyes,
And tell me that you love me.
Everything's alright,
When you're right here by my side.
When you look me in the eyes,
I catch a glimpse of heaven.
I find my paradise,
When you look me in the eyes.

How long will I be waiting,
To be with you again
Gonna tell you that I love you,
In the best way that I can.
I can't take a day without you here,
You're the light that makes my darkness disappear.

When you look me in the eyes,
And tell me that you love me.
Everything's alright,
When you're right here by my side.
When you look me in the eyes,
I catch a glimpse of heaven.
I find my paradise,
When you look me in the eyes.

More and more, I start to realize,
I can reach my tomorrow,
I can hold my head high,
And it's all because you're by my side.

When you look me in the eyes,
And tell me that you love me.
Everything's alright,
When you're right here by my side.
When I hold you in my arms
I know that it's forever
I just gotta let you know
I never wanna let you go

Cause when you look me in the eyes.

And tell me that you love me.
Everything's alright,
When you're right here by my side.
When you look me in the eyes,
I catch a glimpse of heaven.
I find my paradise,
When you look me in the eyes.

Siti Nurhaliza-Aku Cinta Padamu
Andainya engkau ku miliki
Terdahulu sebelumnya
Andaiku curah rasa hati
Mungkin kini...
kukan tenang di
sampingmu
Belum puasku menikmati
Kesan kasih sayang kau
terpaksa pergi
Ingin ku terus dicintai mu
Walau bisikanmu
azimat berduri
Bila cinta
Berbunga
Jadi airmata dijariku
Betapaku cinta padamu
Katakanlah kau cinta padaku
Sematkanlahku dihatimu
Walau dimana berada
Ingatku dalam doamu
Hiasilah hati
Dengan cinta suci
Selamanya
Gemerlapan jiwa
Semikanlah cina
Semoga kau dan aku
Akhirnya bersama
Aku kan menunggu
Walaupun seribu
Tahun lagi

"Overcoming Loneliness"
Translate Malay-English:
No matter what happens
Keep the journey on
I’m holding back the tears
From falling down

Someday we’ll both know
How wise life is
No matter how bitter
It is a meaningful lesson

Hopefully, your absence
Will not change anything
Hopefully, I can overcome
My loneliness

Someday we’ll both know
How wise life is
No matter how bitter
It is a meaningful lesson

4 Sept. 2008
I ♥ reading Brenda Starr in the newspaper when young.
The glamorous ace reporter, ever the contemporary in her fashion and voice impowering women. Brenda Starr stretches the bounds of the daily comic book series genre with steamy romances, intriguing stories, and everyday lessons.

From creator Dale Messick for the Chicago Tribune, now under the witty capabilities of Mary Schmich, the series remains timeless.

Dear chinnamon♥(http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/profile?id=176459),
Here's a postcard: your my first friend I create a set. This set made especially for you just for fun! To all thai girls & guys, Tata's today special set. Mwahh~!

Tata Young - Cinderalla
When I was just a little girl
My momma used to tuck me into bed
And she read me a story
It always was about a Princess
In ... distress and how a guy would save her
And end up with the glory

I'd lie in bed and think about the person that I wanted to be
Then one day I realized the fairy tale life wasn't for me

[Chorus]
I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sitting in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free
I don't wanna be like Snow White, waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white, unless we're riding side by side
Don't want to depend on no one else
I'd rather rescue myself

Someday I'm gonna find someone
Who wants my soul, heart and mind
Who's not afraid to show that he loves me
Somebody who will understand
I'm happy just the way I am
Don't need nobody taking care of me

(I will be)
I will be there for him
Just as strong as he will be there for me
When I give myself then
It got to be an equal thing

[Chorus]

I can slay my own dragon
I can dream my own dreams
My knight in shining armour is me
So I'm gonna set me free

(Like Cinderella
Old dusty cellar)
Waiting for somebody to come and set me free
I don't want to be like Snow White, waiting
For a handsome prince to come and (save me x6)

[chorus]

Miss. Nyonya

3rd September 2008.
My cultural clothes-the Nyonya Kebaya.
This is because I'm a Strait's Chinesse (Peranakan/mixed)
or famously & very rare known as the Nyonya Baba.
I'm proud to be the only one among everyone I know,
thus give me a distinct facial feature like a Pan Asian gal.
I'm pure blooded Nyonya because dad's a Hokkien Baba from Penang & mummy's a Nyonya lady from Malacca. I'm born in the city. Mostly, my descents come from the Straits states that are Penang, Malacca & Singapore. We ... are a rare breed of Chinese & our culture are dying because we go modernisation & only master English like my parents. I'm a chinese that don't speak chinese. So, beat it!

Marion C.

So unreal, if I were to meet him one day! I know where he lives & where to spot him! Maybe I should go over to his house after class one day near college. Hahaha!


Photo-Ryan Cabrera
A photo can say a thousand things
But it can't ... say the million words
I wanna say
A photo can capture the way we were
But it can't capture the way we are
Cause you're far away

What it's like to know you
What it's like to touch you
Yeah...

When you told me that you loved me
Were those just words?
You can't tell me you don't need me
And I know that hurts
Cause I'm looking at your picture
Cause it's all I've got
Maybe one day you and me will have
One more shot

Timing lost minutes and moments
Yeah, I might be lonely, girl
But I'm not afraid
In a second, it all comes right back to me
No, nothing's forgotten now
Yeah, everything's saved

What it's like to touch you
What it's like to know you
Yeah...

When you told me that you loved me
Were those just words?
You can't tell me you don't need me
And I know that hurts
Cause I'm looking at your picture
Cause it's all I've got
Maybe one day you and me will have
One more shot

You were my life
You were my faith
You gave me hope everyday

When you told me that you loved me
Were those just words
You can't tell me you don't need me
And I know that hurts
Cause I'm looking at your picture
Cause it's all I've got
Maybe one day you and me will have
One more shot

Here In My Home lyrics

Hold on, brother hold on
The road is long, we're on stony ground
But I'm strong, and you ain't heavy
Oh there's a misspoken truth that lies
Colors don't bind, oh no
What do they know? They speak falsely

Here in my home
I'll tell you what it's all about
There's just one hope here in my ... heart
One love undivided
That's what it's all about
Please won't you fall in one by one by one with me?
(Fall in~ Fall in~)
Fall in with me
(hmm... fall in~)
Fall in fall in fall in with me

Push back sister won't you push back?
Love won't wait, just keep pushing on
Yeah I'm strong, you ain't heavy
Oh don't you worry about that...
What we have shadows can't deny
Don't you know it's now or never?

Here in my home
I'll tell you what it's all about
There's just one hope, here in my heart
One love undivided
That's what it's all about
Please won't you fall in one by one?

Zombie Doll

2nd Sept. 2008.
The opposite of a chaotic lifestyle is boredom. Sometimes, I wish my life is boring-so that I can catch up on all the other things to do. Here's an excerpt from my diary: [9/6/2008] It's my fault to fail myself. I'd failed my own health. I fail my own expectations. I cause my own troubles. If anything goes wrong, it's my fault. If there's any problem, it's my fault. I 'allow' myself to be lazy, procrastinate, be tardy, late & thus I'm chaotic & forgotten stuff. I have huge ... tendency to self0destruct. I've procrastinate til my problems suffocate me. I didn't focus or focus on the 'wrong' matters. I always struggle with myself. I have bad time management & wrong priorities. I didn't put enough efforts. I hate myself for not doing well in life. I am where I am because of what I did yesterday.


No Doubt - Don't Speak lyrics

You and me We used to be together
Everyday together always I really feel
That I'm losing my best friend I can't believe This could be the end It looks as though you're letting go And if it's real Well I don't want to know Don't speak I know just what you're saying So please stop explaining Don't tell me cause it hurts Don't speak I know what you're thinking I don't need your reasons Don't tell me cause it hurts Our memories Well, they can be inviting But some are altogether Mighty frightening As we die, both you and I With my head in my hands I sit and cry Don't speak I know just what you're saying So please stop explaining Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no) Don't speak I know what you're thinking I don't need your reasons Don't tell me cause it hurts It's all ending I gotta stop pretending who we are... You and me I can see us dying...are we? Don't speak I know just what you're saying So please stop explaining Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no) Don't speak I know what you're thinking I don't need your reasons Don't tell me cause it hurts Don't tell me cause it hurts! I know what you're saying So please stop explaining Don't speak, don't speak, don't speak, oh I know what you're thinking And I don't need your reasons I know you're good, I know you're good, I know you're real good Oh, la la la la la la La la la la la la Don't, Don't, uh-huh Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush don't tell me tell me cause it hurts Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush don't tell me tell me cause it hurts
