I came across this random email that was sent in to PostSecret. It conjured up the most random thoughts, probably because it was so bizarre to begin with.-----Email Message-----Sent: Sunday, June 17, 2007 5:12 AMMy dad used to say that inside of the car's air-bags was uncooked popcorn.

There. Done.The (potential) last paper I will ever have to sit as a student ended some 2 hours ago, and I am here again in Law School. Not because I cannot tear myself away from the greatness that is (Law School), but I found it nice to walk down from Camden to Waterloo with my housemate M and good friend D.

there are some days when i just sit down and thank God for all that He's given me. you really know that someone loves you when they travel 5 hours in the wee hours of the morning straight after work to come visit you for less than 2 days. here is one person i really want to spend the rest of my life with.even after repeating it a thousand times to myself, there's no ick factor to that statement.

it's been a long time since i've blogged over here. for some reason i haven't felt the need to rehash things that have happened to me over the past few months. it's as if a chapter in my life has closed, once and for all. the summer just past has been one of the most eventful ever. i achieved the first milestone of getting my first degree and reaping the fruits that i'd been metaphorically

guess who's back? on sunday Boy brought me on a good old-fashioned movie date. the time of dvds has taken over civilisation as we know it, and we realised that the last time we actually went to the movies was to watch the brothers grimm in september... 2005! and that was in hk, so it didn't count anyway because the cinema is so close to my house it's almost like it's part of my estate. ha,

好久没和你见面了。今天一起床就不知觉地想到你那熟悉的脸庞。三年了，好久了、太久了。曾经你陪这我度过那段美好的岁月，陪我一起欢喜、一起悲哀。但是如今的你，跟我一样，随着岁月的流逝而渐渐地长大了。现在你的头发流长了，外表也成熟了许多。但当你露出微笑是，我看得出你还是当年的你。可惜的是，我们之间的故事似乎已经讲完了。你我已个分东西，决定分开个走个的路了。 曾分享的每一个微笑、每一滴眼泪，都已成了过去。不知道是什么时候我们决定这样的结局是最好，但是人长大以后就懂得怎么放手。我想这样是最好吧。但是我知道我们无论走到世界的任何角落，我脑海里总会出现我们曾分享过美好的回忆。朋友，祝友谊万岁吧。

Some muppets like Cookie Monster make big messes, while others like Bert are quite anal about things being clean. Second, this test measured if you prefer a concrete or an abstract viewpoint.

happy december time! but december also means stress. stress, stress, stress.but today i had my first piece of advent chocolate with Boy, so yay! meantime, i shall go back and rush the reading for my tutorials tomorrow, with the taste of white chocolate still lingering in my mouth.

and so the day dawns once again on the frozen wasteland that is durham, picking out the tiny footprints on the sleet-strewn ground. Yes! YES! it snowed (well, a little) all through yesterday -- our first glimpse of anything white and fluffy falling from the sky this year. besides sticking my arm out to catch the semi-snow on my sleeve, i was a happy bunny:today the sun is out though, which is

Boy is bringing me out tomorrow on an adventure for him to buy christmas presents. i think the christmas bug has really and truly bitten me now, because i am zinging with excitement. the other day we went for lunch and ended up moseying down to the shops to get -you guessed it- advent calendars!and right now, the two of them (one for him, one for me) are hanging up on my bedroom wall, just

my attempt at taking photos at planet last week went down pretty well with the editors at durham21, and guess what, not only did they get published (see above picture with unsightly and not shy neon green emphasis), but they also have engaged me to take pictures again for this week.either they really liked it, or they really have no one else to ask.

i spent the weekend trying to make some headway in the cleanup department at Boy's place. we frittered a good part of the afternoon away trying to match individual socks, hoovering and (for me) being elbow-deep in soapy water trying to clean the tarnish off Boy's mom's motherload of old jewellery.it was fun though, cleaning the house together. strangely, that unsettles me a bit, because that's a

i am suffering from pre-christmas anxiety, and all because of woolworths.was walking around aimlessly in town today with faz, and out of the corner of my eye, something bright and red snagged my attention, but only for a smidgen of a second. it screamed 'magical prices worth celebrating!', and right from where i was standing i could just see the shelves and shelves of toys, christmas decorations

after the freshers' ball last night, which had its ups and downs, to say the least, i realise that there is nothing better than having your friends around you. even when they turn corners so fast you feel your stomach rushing up to around ear level and threatening to make you physically ill, and when they dance with actions to cheesy songs on the dancefloor, and down enough units of curacao and

yes, here i am back again for the second time today, not because i can't get enough of being holed up in my room being a stuckynerd, but rather (or more uninterestingly), i've found out that i can't renew my textbook any longer, it being on three day loan and all, and i need to return it tomorrow.but no! i have to decide to one-up these library people, and have taken to making notes religiously

it's been a long day for me, kids. the past two days have been spent with me plastering a smile over the lower half of my face and asking those fresher kids whether they'd like to buy any tickets and/or ents cards. the number of times i've actually said, "no, that's not a dsu ents card, that's a college ents card", or "that's 55 quid altogether please", i've totally lost count. my calves hurt

i am talking to my Boy on msn right now as a thunderstorm rages outside. my time it's quarter to midnight and his side it's coming to 5 in the afternoon. he's spent the day backing up his files so he can finally send his sick computer off to the computer doctor to cure it once and for all, so that the blue screen of death is no more.on saturday i head back out to singapore, land of my birth, to

hi again folks, here i am right smack in the middle of changi airport awaiting my connecting flight to hk. it's half 6 in the morning and for some reason i am still tired despite having had the opportunity to sleep for close to 12 hours. all i can think of now is how i am looking forward to seeing my family in less than 5 hours, but at the same time i've left a part of me behind with Boy. it was

the past week has been absolutely wonderful. putting up at the Boy's place and basically sharing breathing space with him (and family) practically 24/7 felt like a daunting task at the start, but now i finally realise that the best way to feel like you're welcome is to be yourself.Boy and i had the talk before: that it was way too early in our relationship to consider moving in together, but

i've reached the closest thing to happiness in the state that i'm in.the days have grown longer, and i can soon look forward to leaving on a jet plane and going back home to the place where life seems so much more uncomplicated, where the air runs cooler, where my family waits for me. the thing about going home is that it always stirs up myriad emotions that well up inside me, reaching depths

these days seem to meld together, one following the other with glue-like consistency, blurring my vision and suffocating the sounds of the outside world. some days i feel cocooned in his arms, craning my neck out from time to time to re-establish my link with the rest of civilisation. i know that where i am, no one can touch me, and yet sometimes i realise that life has to have its ups and

there comes a time when you wake up and realise the depth to which someone loves you. today Boy had to leave early for work, leaving me tucked up in bed with bruno the puppy to keep me company. now, anyone who has ever had the joyous task of waking me up will know that any conversations that people try to engage in with me before i officially wake up will most surely be forgotten by the time i

faz and i have been brainstorming, trying to conceptualise a new layout for my blog. there are a few ideas in the works, so look out for a new don't stop the music coming soon to a computer near you!well, the weather has finally taken a turn for the better (well, -ish -ish i suppose) and become quite nice, and by nice i mean warm enough to go without a huge coat. it's become quite humid too, and

there seems to be little going on that is worth writing about these days. most times i end up reading in bed, propped up with a pillow, devouring the words in the hope that they will transport me to another world, another life, another existence. either that or i go for a wander in town, or bend my mind around crossword puzzles (kindly provided by faz). the weather has been disappointing for the
