dear boyfriend,
i write this from my little haven of pillows and a warm snuggly comforter,
the place where i feel closest to home. tonight was a typical session of girl
talk with the girls at house 50. we talked about love and everything pertaining
to it. boyfriends, relationship problems, the way girls think, marriages, kids,
how we percieve good looking, things we look for in a guy and everything
under the sun that you could think of.
and after everything, I'm writing this down in case I ever forget and get caught
up with the world around me. People always seem to remember a precise
moment where they knew they had fallen in love. I've never had that moment
before this. Perhaps our love was more of a gradual blossoming where we grew so
comfortably into. But just five minutes ago, walking back to my room under
the cool skies and bright lights, I found a moment. And that moment is precisely
when I knew that you are the real deal. You who would tell me to enjoy my
experience here while you are a thousand kilometeres away, you who would
give me the space and time to miss you and you who makes long distance
relationships seem so light and bearable.
You are everything I could ever wish to have and no one else comes close. :)
the weekend
tell me, how does one jump back into the reality of assignments and 11am monday
morning deadlines after a weekend like that? boleh mati kotttttt.
[edit] phews. 2hours of sleep, a packet of maltesers, a short visit to house 50 to watch
some funnily drunk friends passout and i made it. :D
just like a song in my heart
Hearing her perform in real life is nothing and I mean NOTHING like what comes out
from the headphones. Those pc speakers don't do her and her band any justice. At all.
Absolutely worth every pound paid for. :D My favourites were Is This Love, Paris
Nights/New York Mornings and Closer. Find them here.
[edit] btw, the first picture was PeteLawrie - opening act just in case you were
wondering who that guy standing in the center was.
when i grow up, i wanna be her
Im sitting here looking at her work and I'm reminded of Ibu Evie's house in Jakarta
which evokes the same glamourous yet understated atmosphere. and just like Ibu Evie,
Kelly Wearstler has the eye. you know, "the eye". the one that throw together three
different patterns within a triadic colour scheme, add an accent here and there,
combined with textures you never thought could coexist together and turn out so
stunningly beautiful.
I cannot get enough of this colour schemes. gawd. the more time i spend trawling around
the internet, the more geniuses i find, the more pathetic i feel. hahaha. someday someday,
I will be like her.
Ps: if you are like me and could waste a whole day looking at beautiful things than you
can check out This is Glamourous. She has a library that will drive you nuts and you'll
wonder how in the world do such gorgeous things actually exist.
taking a step back
i love how my when i wake up in the morning and mentally run through my list ofevents for the day gleefully thinking to myself how great it is that it's filled with all
sorts of things to do. and how all these list of things to do involves being around
people. ever since I've got here its been a whirlwind of activities lined up one after
the other. i never expected uni life to be this intertwined. back home my life was
sort of compartmentalized like those Ikea divider things - family, high school friends,
college, church. on and off there would be an overlapping between the few compart=
ments but never like this. here it sometimes feels as if everything is bundled into a
UH packaged and I'm just thrown in. I sometimes still feel like I'm on holiday
(because of the living in a different country thing) and yet my holiday involves
practical at home things like grocery shopping and completing assignments the
night before my class. and because of the fact that people stay at very close proximity
to each other, the tendency to hop over to one's house for dinner which might turn
into an all night talking fest with some Ben and Jerry's ice cream thrown in is
very high. and did i mentioned how i love being with people?
but lately i've come to a realization that i cannot go on forever like this. my priorities
have been jumbled and shifted and its looking like a jigsaw put together all wonky.
so, today is the day to make some changes. which means taking some stuff out to make
space for the new. it's harder when you're undecided but now that i got my head and
heart sorted, it makes taking things out easier.
