Clueless

Things I need to get through the next month alive:

- an order of luck

- 2 good books to read (still looking for The Accountant's Story)

- a job

- new friends 

- a fast drive to de-stress

- 7 really really really good conversations! 

- to know where my life is heading

The possibilities of the future are infinite! As are the uncertainties. What we choose to focus on shows the type of people we are. Right now I'm trying not too plan out too much of my life. It seems like I've got my answer as to where I should be but I do not know what I am to do. I do like the freedom but I'll admit that however slack I may have been at Uni, that's all an illusion. I need work! I need things to do! I need reason, I need purpose, I need answers. 

I don't ask to be able to figure my whole life out. I ask only for some clues. 

Music Making

Song that I can play - Beauty & the Beast
So with this song, a lady and her daughter and her husband came up to me and they wanted me to teach their daughter how to play the piano. And it was all because they heard me play this song. :)



Song that I want to be able to play

Chinese Combo No. 5

SEE IF THIS DOESN'T CRACK YOU UP!!!



Hello, Welcome to Wong Way Kitchen. I take your order please? I highly recommend the Combo #5! (Ooh nice) Yeah! Combo 1,2, .. 3,4,5. Everybody loves Chinese steamed or fried, from the Chinese restaurant around the corner, so you say you want some won-ton soup, I'll bring your order. Roast duck is a special all-dish week, we fry it deep, be-cause our duck is cheap! You like Egg-Fu-Yon, diced chicken, chow wong and subgum. We are serving dim sum, all of it yum-yum.
So, what can I getcha, a really big order pork, we got the chopsticks, but please use a fork. Everything is fried, it's so good, like our dumplings. So, just give us a ring. A little beef and broccoli you got to try; A little mixed vegetables and white rice; A little sweet and sour is all you need; A little bit of salt - no MSG; A little bit of General Tso's chicken; A little bit of lo mein I can send; A little bit of Szechuan or Hunan; A little bit of moo goo gai pan !!

The song I'll have at my funeral

For All You've Done

Sometimes I get so preoccupied with my own hurts and troubles, I forget I’m not the only one battling these wars. I don’t think I’m very good at comforting people and perhaps that’s why people don’t trust me enough to tell me their problems or don’t feel compelled to want me to be there for them. They don’t know that I want to be there for them and I get angry when they don’t trust me enough to be there for them.

I’ve been helped out by a lot of people in my life and in my past 3 years here in Perth, I think I’ve met some of the most wonderful people who have been there for me. I love the way they try to comfort me and the way they reassure me telling me to have faith in myself. The way they love me and make me feel like the world! For each and every one of these people, I am truly grateful to you. I’m even more grateful to you when you let me give back and allow me to be there for you when you’re down.

Quite often I feel people do not understand me. I don’t seem to be able to successfully put my thoughts and feelings across in one fell swoop. I seem to beat around the bush. Maybe it’s my insecurities making me feel that I haven’t done enough or that people do not understand whom I am. It comes as a surprise to me when someone accurately describes my thoughts. I find it so hard to believe that sometimes, I reject what they say.

At a time where I know that people are struggling with their personal problems and I am now given an opportunity to be there for them, I just wanna say thank you. To all those who have been there for me, you know who you are, please claim your credit now. Thank you for listening to all I had to say, especially my endless, boring AND repeated rants. Thank you also for the advice you’ve given me, thank you for making an effort with me, knowing me and making me feel that I mattered. Thank you for making my world brighter :0) More importantly, thank you for giving me love and for teaching me to love others too.

The Struggle To Trust

Perhaps the most important thing we ever need to learn is this: It is safe to love!

It is safe to love. Yes, it is safe to be vulnerable because we are in loving hands. It is safe to surrender because we fall into light, not darkness.

I Promise

Day 23 - A Song I Could Play At My Wedding I Promise.

This has one of the most cliche and sweetest words for a wedding song and it checks many elements on my list. :p Not to mention, the video is cheeky too! I heart this lots :)

Graduation Preview

The beginning and end of most things new are always exciting. I'm the sort that believes in fairy tale happy endings and I therefore spend a ridiculous proportion of my time dreaming up fantasies. I'm not a creative writer and if I were to tell you my everyday daydream thoughts, you will see what a kid I am. I don't know why it is the way it is. I just take it as it is, fretting not.

I've finally arrived at the end of a stage in my life and I am most definitely ready to move on. I never thought I'd get this far in life and I am truly grateful and thankful for the opportunity I have. Uni has indeed been rather fun and exciting and I have met some of my most wonderful friends in my two and a half years here. How time flies. Once again, I look forward to graduating.

But before all that glamor, job-hunting, will occupy my life. Hopefully successfully. 

Happy vs Sad

A song for when I'm happy :) This is an amazing rendition that I am sure will amaze you!



Then we have the times when we feel down and broken.

Purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I am a big fan of perfumes and maybe sometime in the near future, I'll feature them. In any case, it's been a long time since I've bought a bottle of perfume simply because I already have too many and at present cannot finish using them. Perfumes are one of my indulgences! So it's always a joy to be able to buy a perfume, even if not for myself and in that shopping experience, it was my recent privilege to discover KATY PERRY!

If you don't already know it, Katy Perry has her own perfume. Yes. She joins the longest list of celebs with a perfume to their name. I too have my own perfume! *obviously jealous*

With only 15 minutes to spare before having to pick my brother up, I decide that I can make it and I walk into Myers. I walk two rounds and I'm like this is all very mind-boggling. I escape to Perfume Connections to look for Rihanna, which is amazing as well! The plan is to buy Rihanna for my friend but unfortunately, Rihanna has sold out in all Perfume Connections and nearly ALL MYERS?!?!?!?! The bizarre-ness which goes to show how good her new perfume is.

Because we are out of options, I turn to Marnie who is brilliant. She introduced me to a wonderful selection of sweet-ish perfumes. The first perfume she recommends as being similar to Rihanna is Katy Perry.

Purr by Katy Perry has opening notes of citrus, peach, apple and green bamboo that give it a fresh and sweet scent. Its support notes include a delicate bouquet of jasmine blossom, pink freesia and Bulgarian, balanced by vanilla orchid, white amber, creamy sandalwood and musk. You can probably already tell that Purr is rather girly, and targeted at a younger audience. It's design is a uniquely shaped, gorgeously rich purple colored bottle.

I spritzed this in the car last night without telling anyone and my friend goes "Oh! That's really nice!" There isn't much to hate about this scent unless you dislike sweet stuff or dislike vanilla. Purr WILL leave you feeling confident, gorgeous and sweet-smelling all day. I particularly recommend it for young females with a hidden feminine side. It's more of a scent for night time too. This will be subtle yet blatant display of your feminism without being overbearing. Its scent is not overpowering, is long-lasting and best of all, it's affordable. 

The bottle that I bought was only the second bottle sold by Myer @ Carousel which makes the birthday girl among the first in Perth to become a proud owner of this gorgeous perfume. Purr was not among my top 3 choices. After sampling about 12 other scents, and feeling very torn, I took a leap of faith and picked Katy Perry, and she hasn't let me down.

Katy Perry, you get my seal of approval. Now, to receive that complimentary bottle of Purr for amazing advertising.

Days 17 - 20

Day 17 - A song that I often hear on the radio and I love it!




Day 18 - A song that I wish I heard often on the radio. Most interestingly, this song was a pre-loaded song in my phone. You know, the list of stupid crappy songs, yes. I was positively surprised to hear this.





Day 19 - Song from my favorite album. Still gets me singing each and every time, One More Time!



Day 20 - When I'm angry, give me a fast car, let me go 180km/h, give me a long road with no traffic, take the cops away and leave me alone. Or you can consider giving me Escala.




Thanks for watching, reading, listening, learning :)

It was an...

Day 16 - I used to love this song when I was a kid cos I thought it was cute. Now, it's just meh... Hate is too strong a word but you'd never find this in my iPod.

Tiffany's Rhapsody

I thought long and hard about picking a song that'd describe me. I ran through nearly a hundred songs, evaluating their lyrics, thinking about the possible significances, suggestions and implied meanings behind the songs, trying to pick a song that describes me as best as possible. The song that came out triumphant leaves a great deal for imagination. I'm curious to know what you get out of this so if you can, leave a comment on who you think I am based on this song.

暖暖紅塵

This is a rather old song and definitely a song no one would expect me to like. I have no idea what the song means but it just sounds nice.

Sandy Lam presents you Day 14.

Day 13 - A Song That Is A....

Guilty pleasure???? Pfffttt!! What is this guilty pleasure nonsense? Everyone should be entitled to like whatever song they like without having to feel guilty, even if it's High School Musical, cos We're All in This Together :D
