Failed attempt in Christmas shopping
All thanks to a distraction in the form of none other than yours truly. -___-
So decided it's time I got off my lazy bum and started Christmas shopping, which was exactly what I set out doing today.
After having my lovely lunch at Kenzan (I had the-best-bento-box-in-Melbourne, finally, after they cheated my feelings the last time), I embarked on a Christmas shopping mission armed with a non-corporeal long list of people whom I need to buy presents for.
Seconds later, I was shamelessly immersed in a delirious shopping frenzy for myself and completely forgot about THE mission!
Gua gua gua...
Oh well, the bright side is I have bought myself some Christmas gifts which consisted of two pairs of shoes, Bobbi Brown cosmetics, two tops and got my eye brow tweezed by Benefit (which was an impromptu decision). Can now semi-cross myself off the list, hehe. What? I haven't even bought myself dresses yet, so can't completely cross myself off the list. =p
Guess I'll shop for others tomorrow then. *smugly*
********
So Ying, hate to say this but guess I really do have a knack for attracting weirdos, sigh. Came across two on my way back earlier.
Dear douchebags, not all Asians have a thing for anglo-saxons, myself included. Please find some other bimbo Asian girls and leave me alone. And no, I do NOT find your compliments flattering.

And the sore muscles continue.
After the dance class.
Well, sort of.
Anyway, the point is, I had an absolutely wonderful time in the class! Was sweating profusely but it felt great. Guess it will be an excellent alternative to sports after all (given my appalling attitude towards sports, hehe).
I'm totally looking forward to the next class! =)
******
On a random note, isn't it annoying when an angmoh tries too hard to talk like a Malaysian just to impress you? Throwing in some Malay words and not to mention the lar and the lor. What? Think just because you're white and can speak some Malay then I'll go head over heels over you?
Seriously, you're NOT impressing anyone (at least not me), try that on a SPG will you please? That might be a turn-on for them. If anything, that's a TURN-OFF for me!
Sien.
I'm sorry for being so cold but I just couldn't help it. Dude, just be yourself, that might have been better!

I'm so heartbroken!
Wait, maybe not so much, just a little perhaps. Oh, I meant the flowers, they finally withered. =( But at least I had a good shot of them when they blossomed beautifully. There's a consolation. =)
I must say though, what with the unprecedented change of weather (it's icy cold now!) and the imminent change of circumstances, the view from where I'm sitting has been rather gray. Having said that, I somehow believe such view will eventually change for the better, perhaps a more picturesque view? Pronto. LOL
我想，我会过得很好的。
Btw, I'm expecting a guest tonight (possibly tomorrow too). Now there's something to look forward to. =)

Pictures of you
by The Last Goodnight.
Pictures of you, pictures of me
Remind us all of what we used to be
Pictures of you, pictures of me
Remind us all of what we could have been
Pretty in-your-face eh? Something to think about is it not? What we used to be, what we could have been......
大家一起努力吧！加油加油加油加油！

Isn't this neat?
Know these real life statues are pretty common in Europe but you don't really see them often in Melbourne, so I was quite blown away by this gentleman.
I must say though, he did manage to cause quite a stir and there was eventually a small crowd around him, all flabbergasted by his presence. Btw, what was the lady doing behind him?!!
Not to mention, the crowd also showed their appreciation in monetary terms, myself included. =) Look, even the thank-you box echoes his appearance, wicked!Almost forgot how I love city life, love its vibrance and diversity, and most of all, because it's full of life and opportunities. However, having said that, I'm gonna miss good 'ol Churchill, the people, the place and heck, even the cows!
Speaking of which, I'm very excited yet slightly terrified of the imminent move. Damn, don't you just hate the transition period between different chapters of your life? The realisation of the necessity to move on after you've become so used to a certain place or environment. Guess I'm afraid of the unknown afterall.
所以说嘛，习惯有时候其实是个可怕的东西。
Nevertheless, I do look forward to this new chapter. Wish me all the best will ya? =)

Was invited to Lumen's place after church the other day. Gosh, her grandson Braden was sooooooooo CUTE!!
Isn't he a darling? So cute and chubby!! This photo doesn't even do him justice, he's much cuter in person and he just loves to flash you that cheeky cute smile of his, awwww...... Think he's turning 3 soon. Hung around at their place until after dinner and had a wonderful time chatting with Lumen and her husband Norman. Seriously, such close-knitted community is definitely one of the many things I'll miss about this place.

So it has come to my realisation that many have raved about the new Batman movie. And what's my take on the movie?
*pauses momentarily*
CHRISTIAN BALE IS SO HOTTTTTT!!!
(What? I reserve the right to have some bimbotic moments you know.)
-end of bimbotic tone-
Honestly, putting aside Christian Bale's omnipotent charm, the whole movie, from screenplay to casting, was just brilliant! Definitely one of the best superhero movies, very intelligently written, unlike some of those hollow ones that totally lack substance (e.g. Spiderman and Superman Returns, simply horrendous!).
Btw, Heath Ledger did a terrific job as the Joker. It's heartbreaking though, knowing that he's no longer around to witness the grandeur of the movie. Such is the fragility of life isn't it?
******
And since I love quotes so much, thought I might interest you with this quote taken from The Alchemist:
"I weep for Narcissus, but I never noticed that Narcissus was beautiful. I weep because, each time he knelt beside my banks, I could see, in the depths of his eyes, my own beauty reflected."
To a certain extent, it does sound a little narcissistic but on another level, it's also replete with a sincere sense of self-appreciation. (Btw, just out of curiosity, is there where narcissistic/narcissism/narcissist etc derived from? From a legendary vain character named Narcissus? Kinda makes sense if you ask me.)
Perhaps, there really is a thin line between narcissism and self-appreciation; or, it may be a matter of how things can be so multifaceted and it boils down to how you intend to perceive it. Either way, it's still a mind-blowing quote isn't it? Don't bother answering me, it's meant to be a rhetorical question.
Speaking of quotes, while we're at it, ever heard of this from Mick Jagger, "It's alright to lose yourself as long as you can get yourself back"? Well, I beg to differ Sir Mick Jagger.
Unlike you, most of us don't have millions and millions of dollars to retrieve ourselves if we've gone beyond the point of getting ourselves back. This only applies to filthy rich people. Most of us will have to live with our mistakes, which reminds me of a Cantonese saying --> 做人唔可以行叉踏错。 Touche.
Ok, just my honest opinion, didn't mean to sound bitter. But seriously, don't you think it's rather irresponsible of him to say that? I mean, it's perfectly fine if he's some random guy condemned to perpetual anonymity because no one would care about what he has to say, but he's THE Mick Jagger from the Rolling Stones, one of the greatest rock bands ever! For heaven's sake, can you imagine how youngsters who look up to him would think when they heard that? Once again, you don't have to agree with me, I have the right to stick to my opinion and so do you.
Do pardon my sudden outburst of defensiveness. Now, I shall digress in order to lighten up the solemnity of the topic before I end this post abruptly......
CHRISTIAN BALE IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!
Now, go laugh at my bimbo-ness. Go on, promise I won't sula you. ^_^ Thanks for joining me, good night and good luck.

发现，
人年纪越大，
就越没耐性。
对于人们的过度热心，
有百般的无奈。
越帮越忙，
反而把事情搞砸了。
只想说：
“你的善意我心领了，但我如果没问你意见，就拜托你闭嘴。
本小姐不需要别人教我如何思考。”
真纳闷。-__-
算，
在这废话连篇后，
感觉的确好多了。
来个笑片，
应该会舒缓不少。=)
Update: 刚看完Accepted,果然舒缓多了！

Finally understand
the dilemma Santiago felt about choosing either remaining in the stability provided by the crystal shop or the uncertainty of chasing after his dream.
原来，
即使心里很清楚该作出什么决定，
在作出选择的那一刹那，
依然会令人胆怯。
只是，
虽然还是有点彷徨，
可至少已勇于踏出第一步，

只是，
虽然还是有点彷徨，
可至少已勇于踏出第一步，
总比一成不变来得好。
下定决心，
成与否由自己决定。
在一个老同学的部落格看到这蛮有意思的东西：
别人是不会顾及你的感受的，要成功或要失败是自己的选择。
自己的事情应当自己抓紧，不要把命运放在别人的手里，
别人是不会关心你的事情的，因为事不关己。
是的，是时候对自己负责任了。
大家祝福我吧！
The impending change has finally emerged from darkness and is now a ferocious vortex of uncertainties. Yet, strangely, it fears me no more for I know it's now or never. Plus, if there's anything that is constant in this world, it is change.
It's a plunge I'm positive to make, at least I'll know what lies ahead and won't be haunted by endless what-ifs.
Dear Coelho, thanks for the inspirational tale of Santiago, it's truly one of the greatest literary masterpiece in contemporary fiction. That reminds me, I need to get my hands on that book soon, damn it! LOL
*****
Ode to you, whom I've been nurturing as if you were mine and you in turn gave me an indescribable sense of achievement. Thanks to you, the long forgotten memory of being capable to rise to the occasion is now awaken from its slumber. Nevertheless, it's just so overwhelming now that I realised I've become so attached to you as we're about to bid adieu to each other. Honestly, I'll miss you.*sobs*
Btw, a word for your masters, the loss is yours, not mine. So long suckers! There, I feel much better now! *evil laughter*
