Came back after the tiring boot camp.. and then sat on the bed with my novel in my hands and promptly fell into a restless sleep and dreamt...yet again.. the same person...yet again...the same scene...yet again.. i mean what's this man..

Woke up feeling all puzzled and puzzled and more puzzled. And get this.. it was a ROLLERCOASTER dream.. n miraculously..i din feel scared or anithing.. it was a breeze man. That's the diff between dreams and reality.

Realised i always get into the same fixes all through primary school, secondary school...ok JC was an exception and now..uni also like that!?! It's almost like a pattern! A pattern i wana avoid. Then the stress and dreams and all that other nonsense follows after that.

hahah ridiculous... *shakes head* ok gg back to bed.. its a rainy day man.. its zzzing day to me..

Saw this article in the lastest issue of IS. thought i ll just share this.


HOW TO SURVIVE HIGH HEELS

Here's the lowdown on how to strut the your stuff on higher ground " )

1. Buy a good pair of heels to begin your training. Get one with straps if you've got unusually shaped feet that tend to slip out of shoes, and with a metal or wooden heel (read: no plastics pls)

2. Put on your heels and then find your balance point. (TAKE NOTE!) This is not ALWAYS in the centre of the heel. Sometimes its to a side!

3. When walking, always end your stride on your balance point. This aids stability as you regain your balance before your next step.

4. Don't clomp on heels, and NEVER put your full weight on the heel of one foot. Instead of shifting your centre of gravity (CG) from one foot to the other, keep your CG at your torso.. (now this sounds real chim, how to do that!?)

5. To RUN IN HEELS, remember that speed is not of the essence (this makes me think of MIWA, *luffs*), stability is. Run at a pace at which you can maintain your balance. Tip-toe, and never let your back of the heel touch the ground until you've finished (get this..) your SPRINT.

6. Never ever wear strappy high heels with handiplast - its CRASS. Instead, prevention is better than cure. So bite your shoes b4 they bite you.. (haha okok kidding.. that was from me) Here's the real one. What you SHOULD do is to plan your day well. Make sure you have no standing cocktails scheduled, or long walks between meetings

AND LASTLY, here's my favourite

7. Don't jump on heels. If you really have to, make sure a handsome strong fellow is close at hand! *grinz*

Irritation filled my heart till i felt suffocated... i look around me and frown with ire. Why? i ask myself. Why? I look around me and all i felt was that irritation..You understand irritation? That's when no matter wat someone does.. u feel irritated.

Sometimes i just wished you are not like that. They say misery loves company but who says. Everyone needs time to be alone and to think. Think about what they want, think about what they do. Think. NOt talk. It's think. So just let me think ok.

I dun think i like coordinating meetings and stuff? coz i call A and then A says can. Then call B, B says cannot, then must call A back again and arrange a day and date and time, AND THEN still freakin cannot. I mean what you want me to do.. Then sometimes call, freaking no body pick up can. I mean .. hello im running a tight dead line here also can.. Nobody understands nobody. Its always about themselves.. right? Tell me i'm wrong somebody and tell me you care. These days thats all the vibes ppl are giving out. Talk about being true. maybe sometimes ppl cant take the true you.. who knows maybe if you pretend to be nice. . . .just maybe.

The whole freakin world is busy. No time for this , no time for that. Im not ranting since i sometimes fall into the trap. But whats with being unhappy all the freakin time and such. Everybody's timing dun fit. Great. Let's just leave it at that then.

Ookay maybe IM in a bad mood. No one's fault. Just that the mood not right.

And yes! BECAUSE i soo sportingly said i ll post an extract, here it is! I particularly love this first part.

----------------------------
Sometimes, you get bored with the life you lead and you get distracted. Sometimes, you get uprooted from all that you believe in.

That new edition in your life.

That new man.

That new item he gave you

That new item you saw.

That new thing.

It gets you uprooted from all that you believe in.

Ever felt that way?

It sways you and for a moment in life, and you think that you are someone which you are not.

You turn against all who loves you

And then at that point in your life,

Suddenly

Fortunate, have-everything you feels neglected.


-----------------------------------
And now for the part.. that liqi finds damn funny....
-----------------------------------
Julian
Why are we here?

Sarah
Time’s running out. Come (holds Julian’s hands). Teach me to dance.

Julian
(Shocked)
You mean now?

Sarah
Yes now! Hurry!

(Julian holds Sarah in his arms and they dance to the soft strains of music floating in the air. And as they are dancing, Sarah speaks)

Sarah
Julian. . .

Julian
Hmm. . .

Sarah
I broke the vase you gave me….

Julian
Oh that vase, it’s ok my dear, it’s only a vase. I can always buy you a new one.

Sarah
But you bought it back from Greece…


Julian
I can always go back and get another one.

Sarah
You are not angry?

Julian
Why should I be?

Sarah
‘Cause I lied to you.

(They continued dancing at the rooftop garden and the stage light darkens. In the pitch black darkness, comes the words, “‘Cause I lied to you.”)

The End

A long over due post! Went for a whirlwind 24hour playwriting contest with the ever-sporting Ms liqi who responded like no one else to my mail.. haha. Following ms liqi's template, i ll be giving a blow by blow account of MY side of the story.

Spotted free cornettos along the way.. grabbed one of course n had a quick photo snap.

6.15pm: .. A serious looking photographer came by with his super impressive looking camera and squatted down in front of us. I looked at liqi, she looked at me. The photographer started snapping away at different angles.. at our legs... ME: " hey hi, why you taking out feet?" SILENCE. NO REPLY. We pretended he wasnt there and continued luffing away.
7.00pm: Dinner... *no appetite*

Havent posted for so long... not that i have a blogger's block or whatever u call it. Just that its a happening in my mind... too lazy. So many things happening. Now i m back.. Let's talk about this one, by one..

Finally PA is over.. sad or happy? I say its a love-hate relationship. The luxury to go out and of course to sleep late. Let's take today for example..

I just went out with my parents to get this week's grocery at GIANT.. and then guess what, lucky me saw this red note on the floor, upon second glance.. it was a 10 dollar note.. but stupid me looked at it and then glanced around and then the next thing i know, 2 aunties were rushing and kneeling at my feet.. (no, they were not kneeling to princess me) more like they were rushing to grab that 10 dollar note. I looked at them silently and then after one of them managed to grab that note without a tearing struggle with the other, i walked away and promptly told my mum what happened.

And next thing i knew, they said" money in front of you also dun know how to take" ... Something wrong with me? Sounds right.. finder's keeper isit? Whateva... .. Cant seem to take money that does not belong to me. Kinda stupid. Someone drop a 100 buck in front of me next time pls.....

Green Tea
Green Tea...You are Green Tea!Strong and very smart you prefer peace to violence
and very rarely take action if it involves
confrontation. But you make up for this with
your keen insight and understanding of the
world and people around you, you have a very
mysterious nature. Many people see you as laid
back and that may be true but you are very
intelligent and make good decisions.

What type of Tea are you? {-With Anime Pictures!-}
