Finally a Blog-worthy Saturday!

So much energy even at 2+ am (took a nap in the afternoon!) so it’s finally time to blog! Been procrastinating this entry for a couple of day! *smacks my naughty blogger butt* LOLL!

 

Since the last dim sum lunch I had with my friends at the above eating place (I won’t call it a restaurant cos the interior is quite bleah if u know what I mean) somewhere in Geylang a few wks back, I’ve been very gian (Hokkien word for strong desire) to have a cheap dim sum buffet cos I felt that the one we had wasn’t value for money!


So finally last Saturday, Aaron and I went to have a dim sum buffet but the cheap one (less than $20) at a restaurant we found on a list that Ladyironchef posted on his blog was actually closed down. :(

 
Replacing it was Pearl Garden restaurant & after taxes & service charge the bill amounted to $40 per person! Absolutely not worth it! I should have called before going! *beats chest*


Please don’t go there even though I’m talking about it because it’s really not worth the money! Very ironic I know but here are some pictures to tantalize yr taste buds!


 

This porridge was delicious!

Thanks to Aaron for helping me write the words!

Teach me Photoshop asap plssss cos I’m a handicapped blogger now, boo hoo hoo!

 

Horrible horrible Char Siew Bao. Even those 80 cents kind in coffee shops tastes better lor!

Below average spring rolls. :(

After the buffet, I headed to Sasa at Bugis Junction to have my night makeup done for clubbing later that night! The makeup artist, Jolin, was friendly & efficient as always! :) Having ultra-awesome makeup with fake eyelashes, superchio eye shadows & all never fails to up my confidence level a notch! ;)


Reached Expo Hall 8 at like 5.29pm(phew)! Pst Kong preached about Crisis & I had a fave part but I shall leave it for a particular blog post in time to come! It’s gonna be good so stay tuned!! :)

The Inseparables!

My bible study student & 21st Birthday boy looked like

a preacher with the huge bible in his hands & that long sleeved shirt! =p

We headed to the recently opened Esplanade Xchange! They seriously didn’t do any marketing (at least not tt I know of) so I’m guessing most Singaporeans haven been there nor heard of it even unless they passed by! It’s not even up on SMRT's shopping website though it’s been opened for more than 2 months! Somebody say lousy!

(Source: Xinmsn)

We went to a restaurant called Rock & Ash to celebrate Edward’s birthday! The place was average I would say! Worth a try though cos the prices are reasonable. $9.90 and above meal combos! Their specialty is different flavored fries! They even have fries with chocolate sauce but we didn’t try! Boo hoo!

Vann’s chicken fillet & fries! 

Oh anyway, they get an ‘A’ for their service standard cos they gave Val and Vann a complimentary potato & cheese side dish each after mixing up their orders & making them wait at least 20 mins! AND, when my order was not what I expected it to be (the Potato Gratin I initially ordered is like only 2 mouthfuls of serving, don’t order!!), the staff/boss gladly let me order another meal & refunded the difference, no questions asked! How awesome! Restaurants with insincere service, are you listening? 

“I wish… to be a millionaire by age 30”!

No lah, actually he wished for greater capacity.

Yes, the cafe we bought the cake from didn’t have candles. =S

But that didn’t stop the BD boy from blowing. Haha! =p

The designer was very proud of her creation.

But the receiver couldn’t keep his eyes wide open with flash!

Somebody say _______! HEH! =P

Victor,”I like to qiang jin tou (be in the spotlight)”! =p

Our gift to him was a Zara t-shirt. Nice!? :)

Yes, we love Zara or what?

After dinner it was time to get buttered! I haven clubbed since Oct last year so I was really looking forward to it! Almost a year of club-fast (not deliberate), I’m like so over clubbing cos it’s getting boring…. I’m turning 23 sooon, booooo!

 

 Rid, "I'm soooo ready to partaayy!"

Initially, I was a little upset when I realized tt Rid got us on the guest list of Fash which plays electro music but we couldn’t go into Bump, the main Hip Hop room (cos I thought he told me tt he could). In the end we paid the entrance fees to get into the latter sometime close to midnight so it was all gd!

Did you know that Forlino, where Xiaxue had her wedding, is just right beside Butter Factory!?

Vann & I were mad excited we ran in to pose in front of the atas interiors!

I only realized I forgot to take my camera with me after I checked it in at the counter & the bitch girl at the counter said I had to pay another $2 if I wanted to take anything out! DAYLIGHT ROBBERY! 

Zouk gives complimentary bag check-ins & most clubs I know do so why is Butter Factory so stingy/greedy!? $2 to check in a bag I can undertstand but to make us pay again when we need to put or take something out!? And what’s more, when you check in yr bag together w/ another for example, you have to pay $4 to take something out from one of them! Simply ridiculous & a major turn off! Butter Factory’s team, I hope you are reading this!

Rid brought along 3 other NUS friends, two of whom were from India too & they were really gd-looking! Check them out! Stole photos from their Facebook cos one of them brought a camera & took photos but the camera turned out to be their friend’s and I haven got the pics until now!Punishment for leaving my cam in the bag. :(

Introducing Varoun Gandhi!  

Looks damn handsome in this photo & so model-esque right!?

And really friendly & dances well too. HOT!

Okay this photo doesn’t do Ris justice cos can’t fully see his

handsome face but that’s about the only decent profile pic in his FB!

I’m guessing he only joined it recently!

He’s transferring from Computer Science to Mass Comm cos he doesn't like the former after taking it for a couple of weeks! I hope the appeal went through! Did u, did u!? :)

Their fave pose!

 

The Indians were the real party animals and spenders!

The charming star of the night!

Exposed!

 Jon Ong, where were u!?

Butter Factory’s experience tt night was only so so. The music was really average, the crowd was 90% working adults in their late 20s & above and they didn’t had any smoke machines.

No smoke and no gd music equals to un-spectacular partying atmosphere. :( Still no club I went to in Singapore can top Phuture. How sad! Hmmmm, maybe I should open one in the future that will!! What should I name it? The Better Future!? How LAME!!! LOLL.

Before.

After! It was Jon Goh’s virgin clubbing at 21 yrs old!

Never kissed, never clubbed till 21, so innocent can!?

Wen Long was even more high! No lah, he wasn't drunk!
We had barely a few sips of Volka Ribena/Volka Sprite
and ordered orange juice and coke in the end and they
taste so much better! HA!

But really, we mostly went to celebrate for Edward so hope u had a fabulous 21st Birthday! Pls pls pls arrange Bible Study classes with me sooon ultra-hardworking businessman! :)

 

Partayyy everyday, partayyy everyday!

No lah, seriously, partying is actually very physically draining! I dunno how the working adults do it on a Wed night still manage to survive working 9 to 6 the next day! K-kinda crazy!

Btw, Jamie, Ade, why don't yr take part in the Mango Fashion Bloggers contest!? Mango shopping vouchers to be won! Go go go! Advertisement at top left!


P.S: Varoun can I have the photos soon pretty pretty pls? *pouts* Got them and updated! Thank you! :)

A Heavy Heart

It would have been a great day.


I am burdened by what is happening in my life and by what I see/read/know.


At the end of the day, a stranger's words/actions doesn't really hurt you. It is the words and actions of those you care and matter the most that do. Those whom you think they won't treat you this way when you are trying very hard to make things work and be nice but they do. And it stings... like a snake's bite.


Will I overlook the wounds and the damage done and just forgive and forget? Or will I choose to distant myself from those that I care a lot for but don't reciprocate that care and learn to protect myself instead?


I lie at the crossroads. What I choose to do in the next few weeks or months will significantly alter my life.


Which path will I take?


What kind of person will I become?


Will I become cold or will the warmth of my heart continue to burn?


Will I become the very person that I don't wish to be in the 1st place?


Will I live a fruitful life and be a blessing?


Who will Wendy become?


One thing is for sure, I can't accomplish it by my own human strength.


It is too weak. I, am too weak.


It's about time I get down on my knees...

I Love My BFF!

 

I think you guys are looking forward to an update about my boyfriend and I!

 

Before I do I just wanna say that I’m truly blessed to have friends who stand by me, who give me good advice and love me. :) After unpleasant things happen, I now know who my true friends are whom I can have friendships for life with.

 

Many smses came and I am grateful, you know who you are. It’s nice to know that friends like you care enough to drop me a msg just to see how I am doing. *touched* And sorry if I didn’t reply some cos I was probably just too emotional and needed some time to chill! And I’m down to only 500 free smses a mth now so tweet or call me instead if u can! :)

 

To Emily, thanks for sharing yr experience with yr bf to help me get perspective and for being there when I was afraid to take the step to call him and talk things out!

 

To Xiu, I got yr hug from Washington DC! Am so touched. I missed u! Hope u are doing great! *hugs back*

 

To Sean & Elaine, thanks for the help the last time as a couple who really wishes Aaron and I stay together. May God bless your imminent marriage. :) I still dunno whether I can help out yet!

 

To Zoe, my dearest cg leader, thanks for yr smses and the talk we had. I’m so blessed to have an understanding leader like you who is always one step ahead of me in life. Am simply jumping for joy and counting down to yr Fairytale wedding on 4th July!

 

To Alvin and Catherine, thanks for the words of encouragement and advice that u guys gave us. I think Aaron is very blessed to have you as his leaders too! 10 years of dating must have been tough but you guys went through it, despite the differences… amazing. CONGRATULATIONS on the engagement!! :)) Yippee!

 

Okay now is the part when I wonder when issit gonna be my turn! Hahaha! Nahhhh, shalll spare my bf the presssuuureeeee.

 

To my dearest bf, I know many times our relationship can turn out like that:

 

  Dunno why u still can smile sometimes!

 

 

And I scare you. (HAHA)

 

But spending the last 2 days with you have made me realize that we really do love each other despite our difference in personalities and we’re not gonna throw away the last 1.5 years we shared together just like that.

 

Simply watching a show with you on yr laptop or mine and watch you laugh makes me happy…Thanks for filling my love tank! I think it has 10,000 love units now. :)

 

I’m sorry for all the times that I’ve bruised your ego. I’m sorry for the things that I had said that I should know better not to say.

 

I fell in love with you because you are smart, knowledgeable, patient, cute and handsome. Sometimes my anger and frustrations get the better of me… but at the end of the day, I know I still want to be by your side and go through life together with you. (Unless you choose not be cute and smart anymore! Hehe!)

 

I know we have a bright future together because we are both committed to love and to trust and respect each other like what Alvin has taught us.

 

God is teaching us to have mercy and I believe we have passed the test this time round.

 

I know you may not be good in words, but I will be patient to wait for the day that you will know what to say and what to do; to wait for you to draw closer to God and bring us forward.

 

But for now, we are each other’s BFF, so we’re gonna give each other time and space to chill and grow at our own pace.

 

I love my bfffff! =D

 

So bff, shoud I catch the bouquet at Zoe’s wedding? Should I should should I!? KIDDING. =p

 

Congratulations to the start of your working life officially on Friday!! I hope yr collegues will treat you well and no gals hotter than me will hit on u! Hahaha!

 

Say hello to your new Web Designer pple! Not just freelancing anymore. So proud of you baby! Xoxo. (Seeeee I know how to do this brushing ego stuff! =D)

 

And I love you dear friends! Thanks so much for being my life, I certainly can’t do life without you guys in it. You are all one of God’s greatest gift to me.

 

*BIG SQUISHY HUGS from Ms.Huggable Lady Wen!* =p

I Was

 

I am a believer.

 

I believe in love, I believe in marriage and in a “happily ever after” and having the happiness and warmth of family.

 

And so I fight; I get disappointed and upset but I pick myself up time and time again telling myself if I stick around for just a little longer, things will start to change and get better.

 

I get really hurt but I hung on tight to my dream, I didn’t give up.

 

But on a day like this when I get so tired of fighting and believing, the words of affirmation that I need are nowhere to be found.

 

No one is holding my hands, looking into my eyes and telling me that, “Everything is gonna be okay.”

 

When I stopped believing, I thought he wouldn’t. I hoped he would tell me to give it one more try. But he isn’t.

 

I thought he would be a believer when I’m losing my ability to believe. But his lack of action just tells me that he is less of a believer than I am.

 

Action or the lack of it just speaks so loud. It’s deafening.

 

Where is he just when you needed him to stand up like a man and quickly do so some damage control? Where is that determination to make things happy and good again that you wished he had when you didn’t?

 

No sms, no phonecall, no tweets, no writing on yr FB wall, no private msg, no email, nothing.

 

And so, after all tissue papers and the hours of hours of waiting for nothing, I tell myself, “That’s it. I can’t go on like this anymore.”

 

Everything was but just a dream. The reality of it eludes me to the point where I don’t believe it anymore.

 

It’s all too late.

 

Now, I was a believer. And I was a really determined believer. 

 

I was.

Toy Story 3 The Great Escape!

Toy Story is back again! In this 3rd installment, Andy the owner is leaving for college… so what lies the fate of Woody, Buzz and the rest of the toys?

And guess what, In this latest creation from Disney Pixar, there are 14 new characters! 

And here are some of my favorites! They are soooooooo cute okay!! 

Very huggable!!!

OMG, Lots-O’-Huggin’ Bear!?? Everyone who knows me knows that I love getting hugged and hugging pple! I think Lots-O’-Huggin’ Bear is just like me! Hahaha. And it’s even quite pinkish in color!

Awwwww….

Isn’t that about the cutest unicorn u’ve ever seen!? And just look at that pair of the most un-disgusting & adorable nostrils in the world! <3 <3 =D

 “Hello hello baby u called? I can’t hear a thing!”

Looks familiar doesn’t it!? This looks like one of the telephone toys I had when I was a kid! But now that I’m older, I guess I can wear it on my head like Lady Gaga did in ‘Telephone’! HAHA!

Here’s the trailer!

The scene where Ken met Barbie must be my favorite moment in the trailer! My heart fluttered and it reminded me of the moment when my bf and I had first looked at each other in the eyes and we had the “sparkle”! Hehe. The expression on his face when he first set eyes on Barbie? Priceless! 


Can’t wait to see the actual movieeee! You can catch Toy Story 3 Movie starting from 17^th June 2010 and join the official Facebook and Twitter page!


Xoxo!

Ale-alejandro Ale-alejandro!

The world premiere of Gaga’s latest video, Alejandro!

It’s sick, but damn, it’s so artistic!

I love the setting! The imagery is so strong! The snow, the heart, the “Nazis”.

Love the widow headdress and the red latex nun suit!

And I think Gaga just made “mushroom hair” trendy! Lol.

Don’t have to try and understand the whole thing… I don’t! Only Gaga and probably the producer Steven Klein do!

But if you really want to know what’s going on in Gaga’s universe, this is what she said on her recent interview on Larry King Live bout the video: “homoerotic military theme”…”a celebration of my love and appreciation for the gay community, my admiration of their bravery, their love for one another and their courage in their relationships.”



“It’s all about where I’m from and love of theater and love of music and love of the lie in art, and Steven really knows and understands that…So we’re making a beautiful video, and I’m so excited.”




She adds, “[It's about the] purity of my friendships with my gay friends, and how I’ve been unable to find that with a straight man in my life. It’s a celebration and an admiration of gay love—it confesses my envy of the courage and bravery they require to be together. In the video I’m pining for the love of my gay friends—but they just don’t want me to be with them.”

You would never had figured that out without her explanation right!? I thought the dead guy in the coffin was symbolic of Alexander McQueen or sumthin’!

And see, no advertising of any products in this vid!

Gaga is in a league of her own, and we’re all just trying to play catch up.

What do I know? The MEN must HURT when they’re smashed onto the floor like that by other men! =D I think that’s symbolic of sex change, I think. :)

Tell me what you think! Comments!

You popped my heart seams, all my bubble dreams, bubble dreams

She was run over by a truck and left to bleed.

And I know that it’s complicated

But I’m a loser in love
So baby raise a glass to mend
All the broken hearts
Of all my wrecked up friends

 

I’ll never talk again
Oh boy you’ve left me speechless
You’ve left me speechless so speechless

 

I’ll never love again,
Oh friend you’ve left me speechless
You’ve left me speechless, so speechless

 

Hooow?
Haaaa-oooo-wow?
H-ooow?
WOW

Smell the Flowers & Admire the Rainbow

It's time to be single again.


Smell the flowers and admire the rainbow.


I can do this.


Even if I can't, I probably should die trying.


I suppose I don't mean that literally.


Jesus, come back quickly, plsss? Life is much harder than I had expected it to be.


And if I take my own life, I might just end up in hell and I don't want that.


I did promise my blog readers that I won't take my own life.


Breaking that would make me such a big ass promise breaker.


But at least I'll have a million people reading this entry in no time and psychologists can analyze my blog and see how a crazy person thinks.


Let's play a love game, do you want love or you want fame? Cos it seems like you can't have the best of  both worlds.


I mean, which person who has committed suicide had talked about it on their blog before he/she jumped?


I should really scrap my dreams of getting married to the love of my life and starting a happy and warmth family of my own.


It seems like the more I think about it everyday, the harder I fall and the more painful and dreary life becomes.


I have let my passions consumed me, quite literally.


And all I'm left with now are the scars on my heart and my broken dreams.


You know, I have a relationship with my blog.


I can scream, yell and use cuss words when I'm really upset or I can be damn happy and be skipping around on my entries. Whatever it is, my blog loves me and I love my blog.


My blog doesn't judge me or expect me to become someone else. But human beings do.


And I'm trying not to blame them. I mean, who wouldn't want to judge Wendy Ang?


Everything she says or does just make people want to judge her. She screams "Judge Me!" all over her forehead.


She's not who we expect her to be.


She can be better. She can be wiser. Stronger. Tougher.  Less emotional. Less emotional. Less emotional. Wait, have I said that 3 times already? Less emotional. More hardworking, more responsible, earn more money, more everything. No wait, LESS emotional. Oh ya, and definitely less attention seeking too. Ah yes, smile more, definitely smile more.


I mean, c'mon, she's a professing Christian. And she's a freaking 22-yr-old working adult.


She should know better right?


Oh oh, and how come she always sound so negative on her blog?


A Christian needs to say positive things and be an encouragement to others reading man.


I thought the title of this entry is 'Smell the Flowers & Admire the Rainbow'? Huh?


There, I feel better already. Blogging it out just makes me happy.


LIVE with it. :)

But I Don't Want To Be Like This

I was really happy and then I saw what someone did and I immediately feel hurt.


Me: Why do I desire to be loved by people so badly?


Aaron: 因为你缺乏爱。


Me: But I don't want to be like this... *stares into space*


God, you got to help this emotional wreck. 

FLASHERS!

Have u seen the Lady Gaga Flash Mob in Madrid yet!?

The dancers are fab okay!??? Check out their moves and their costumes!

I sure hope Mother Monster sees it and goes to Madrid!

And then it hit me...

CHC should totally do a flash mob when we move to Suntec Convention come March next year!!

It will go down in our church history as the inaugural flash mob by a bunch of brave and crazy members and be reminiscence for the next 50 years or something!?

How's that!? 

By then, flash mobs would have become a classic!

Maybe I should email Ryan my idea and get it going!! =D

I can already imagine the City News Headline!

"500 Brave Souls Flash Mob to CHC's New Home"

I'm in!




The participants can dress up as prominent people in church!!!



Guess who I would wanna dress up as!???? :)



If only she can be the one leading the flash mob! Oh yeah.

P.S: I know, I am totally thinking further than the imminent Asia Conference !

My Rich & Crazy Friends from INDIA!

I made these 2 new friends in the last few months and they are both from India!


They inspire me shitloads.

 
Both have left their country to pursue their undergraduate studies in NUS, and both come from extraordinary backgrounds.


I'm not gonna name them just in case they’re shy and wish to remain anonymous! :)


The first, his father is a businessman who owns tea plantations in India and earns millions of dollars every year. He has many workers and servants in his big houses!


He is 19 years old, the only son in his family and hence, the de-facto inheritor of his father's business! Yes, think Paris Hilton.


The amazing thing however, is that though he is born with a sliver spoon, he doesn't want to just live in his father's shadow... He doesn't want to take over his business even after he graduates!


At least not without 1st making it out on his own!


If I were him, I can imagine myself just lying in the comfort of my big couch and have my servants feed me grapes and fan me all day! Think Cleopatra! Hahaha! Travel to a foreign land to mug like crazy and having to fend for myself? Forget about it!


So it amazes me that my friend wants to set up a tea business of his own in Singapore,despite his father’s disagreement...


And the catch is that he has to make more money than his father in a few years, and hence "justifiable", otherwise he will have to go back to India and be the Director of his dad's company.


Not an easy feat! In fact, highly challenging and yet he believes it is gonna happen and is taking steps towards it!


And someone who is from as good a background as his had this to say about me:

Far and wide have I sought,
For a maiden with a golden heart.
Billions of souls have I sought,
For a dreamer with a limb on humble Earth,
And another on the sublime heavens,
Perhaps she dwells in the Elysian Lawns!

And after decades of seeking,
Behold I found my magic mirror
And I asked:
“Mirror-mirror on the wall,
Who is the fairest of them all?”
And the mirror simply replied:
“Wendy is the fairest of them all!”

“Describe her,” I commanded:
“Seek the one who is pure at heart.
Seek that innocence in the eye,
That you know cannot lie.
Seek the soul that’s untouched by the evil,
Seek the maiden that lives among the mortals,
Yet has her base on the heavens.”

The hunt for the pure one resumed,
It was a tiresome journey.
It’s said that good things come to those,
Who wait.
Alas that was true … for we did find her.
And was blessed by her presence,
We found Wendy Ang.

I teared.


There are people in this world who value my worth and he has expressed it so creatively & genuinely to me in this poem despite our brief friendship.

I love you my friend. And you had better get yr tea business going or I’m gonna kick your butt. :)

And just when I thought one crazy friend from India is already enough, God sends me another one!



He attended Fashion In the Sky in March and I subsequently got to know him, thanks to Facebook! =) We met up once and he turns out to be A REAL CRAZY DUDE!


He talks with an unbelievable amount of energy! And I thought I was the Energizer Bunny but he, my friends, beat me hands down anytime! Imagine that!


He is also extremely intelligent and intellectual, and I do mean extremely! You will have to talk to him yourself to know what I mean!


His father passed away when he was really young and his mum is a medical doctor!


He started trading and generating his wealth when he was 17 years old. 17!!!!??????


He attended Harvard summer school. Harvard leh!!! The top university in the world!


And he owns a company in Boston in the United States doing research on renewable sources of energy and makes lots of money every month without needing to be there all the time and he is only as old as I am, 22!


All that achievements and you know what he tells me????


That I inspire him!


He called last night after reading my blog entry and you know what’s one of the best things he told me?


“When I make it to Times’ 100, I’m gonna have a party and I’ll invite Lady Gaga and you to attend.”

 
I laughed and replied, “That’ll be great!” And when I make to the list before you do, I’ll invite you too! Hahaha.”

I'm Wendy in Wonderland. :) Yes, my hair defies gravity! =D

It's friendships like these that touch my heart and make my life meaningful.

I can come from a humble background that is a stark contrast from theirs but they wouldn't think any less of me as a person and at the end of the day, we can still love each other for who we are and mutually inspire each other.

How about you? Do u have such friends too? Share with me in the comments, I wanna know! :)

Thank you my friends! <3 *group hug* HAHAHA! =p

A New Day Has Dawned

My bf and I are good now btw, just in case you're worried or concern!


Many challenges have been taking place in my life the last few months. But it's all good. 1st of May 2010 marks the beginning of a new chapter in my life:


From this day forward, I will never wish that I can go to heaven quickly just cos living in this earth is too much for me to take.


For this day forward, I declare that I am free. Doesn't mean it won't be challenging from now on, but it just means that I am starting anew on a better foothold.


And I will continue to grit my teeth and fight. When I fall, I will get up again, and again and again and again and again.


Today, I make a commitment to myself and to you reading that I will never take my own life which I had thought of in the past. I'm not even the sole proprietor of it to begin with. :)


That would have meant that the battle was lost, that I had not fulfilled what I say to you today. And I'll be kidding you if I told you that the battle ahead is easy.


Trust me, it's not. It's in fact, very, very intense at times. My enemies want to shut me down. They want me to stop trying. They want me to stop influencing. They want me to just throw in the towel and give in. But I declare today that they will not win.


If you are reading this, what you can do to help is to say a prayer for me and be encouraging towards me, pls, I beseech you, that keeps me alive more than you know it. Thank you. :)


If you are reading this, and you hate me, I can only say that one day I hope that you will come around. Because I didn't mean to upset you and hating doesn't make your life a better place. :)


I'm gonna break the ceiling.


Society and people try to box you in to conform to their image and their norms and deem you as a freak when you don't but the fact of the matter is this -  You can never attain happiness or find joy in trying to become the person that other people want you to be, when that person is not who you would like for yourself deep down inside.


Society doesn't like people who are different, or who do things differently, who choose different paths, because many times to "them", 'different' is equivocal to wrong and that is furthest from the truth.

There are more than 6 billion different people in the world. Each with different abilities, interests, habits and dreams, who are we kidding?

Don't force yourself to give up the music that you so love just because they say it's not practical and just do what they want even though you know you will be terribly unhappy doing it. Don't. Resist the temptation to conform.


It's easy to conform. It's easy to not be criticized and looked down by people, very easy.


Go ahead and be fearless, be the person that you were meant to be all along. They are gonna hate you for it. But be fearless anyway. Chase after your dreams like you were gonna die tomorrow and don't let those dreamkillers stop you.


They'll catch up.


Think Lady Gaga. Her parents were so upset with her initially for wearing little clothes and prancing around in clubs (I think most Singaporeans would too), but look at her now, she's on the cover of Times Magazine for being one of top 100 Most Influential People in The World, just next to Bill Clinton.

 Cool or what!? :)

I have not read or bought a single Times Magazine for more than 5 years but I'm gonna go pick up that one. Cos Lady Gaga has influenced me to.


Now, her parents have caught up. And they are more than supportive.


Can you just imagine for one second if she had easily given up performing years ago just because her parents were not supportive of it?


Yes, the world would be a dull place without that free bitch in it. Just like the world will be a dull place without you in it. No, not the 'you' that others try and force you to become. The 'you' that you truly desire and enjoy being, that's the undiluted 'you'.


Definitely, love much and give much in the process but never forget to love yourself too in the meantime cos it can only work both ways. That is what it means to love your neighbor as you love yourself.


You can only do something that comes from your heart. Anything else will not last or it will only make you damn miserable after a while. And the worse thing that can happen is that rather than just kissing the frog, you end up marrying it. Don't! The prince is waiting for you!

 

Let's just face it, you will never be happy in being a people-pleaser and you can never meet up to all their expectations and demands.


Because if you know Economics, there are unlimited demands but only limited supply. It is not going to stop.


You can only become the person that God wants you to be and you need to release yourself from societal expectations for you to just be like everyone else you see.


Don't become diluted and lose your uniqueness.


Dig deep. Find out who you are, what you stand for as a person and where your passions lie.


And chase after it with every fiber of your being. That's what you were created to do.


You are gonna be mocked at, despised, criticized, rejected, unappreciated, misunderstood and hated. Even by those whom you call friends, by those whom you call family. Very, very painful. Extremely.


Do it anyway.


Because in the final analysis, it's not really between you and them, it's between you and you and you and Him.


At the end of the day, you want to touch your heart and say, I am happy with myself, I am at peace with myself. I love myself. I am who I am supposed to be and live is worth living. Life is so fulfilling.


It's a new day for me, my dear friends and readers.


I wish that your days will be filled with much love, happiness and purpose.


That doesn't mean there's not gonna have suffering and pain along the way. It just means that when the rubber meets the road, it's all gonna be worthwhile.


The dash between the year that you were born and the year that you are gonna die is gonna be a life lived beautifully, authentically, happily and lovingly. And that will effect in more of other such lives.


Because you become powerful and influential when you are hammered and shaped into the very person that you were made to be and many others' lives will be deeply touched and impacted.


There's not another of you in the world. You're the only one. So don't give in to that opposing force that tries to make you fit in like a mass factory product and conveniently tells you, "That's life, just live with it and shut up."


Whatever for?


No one knows or understands your dreams more than you yourself. No one.


You are the best you and there's nothing they can do about it.


So you can be free, truly, truly free.


I will look back and remember this day and this entry. May you have these memorable pivotal points in your life too.


May you find your niche and not be squeezed by "them" into an ugly box that you can't even fit into!


The sky is the limit, and the world? Your playground.


The desire to die quickly was me trying to take the easy way out. But not anymore.


Let's enjoy the journey together cos I still want to live and fulfill my purpose here on earth before I go home to be with Jesus. And I have a great one. I can feel the strong sense of God's calling upon my life... always have.


I think I have a looottt more to accomplish, my time is not up and I will live a good many years. :)


YAYS! Haha. <3


Much Love,
Lady Wen

"Boundaries don't keep other people out... they fence you in. Life is messy... that's how we're made."

Lots of tissue paper, some bible reading and 2 episodes of Grey's Anatomy later... I gave in.  I texted and called him!

And then, I got frustrated again and hanged up. 

My alarm clock is set to 7am but I'm not even sleepy! 

Now, back to more Grey's Anatomy. It's my therapy.

Don't get me? Read the title again. :)

Because "Happily Ever Afters" Only Exist in Fairytales

I was so sure that he was the one for me. Maybe I was wrong, maybe he isn't the one for me afterall. Maybe I'm not even the right one for him, *sarcastic smile*.

New Love!

Advertorial



I haven't been blogging much, have I? Well… I was kinda afraid of telling the world about my new lover. I was afraid of what you might think of me. Yes, I’m human too.


The old one kinda bores me sometimes… so I had to move on to someone new, someone, fresh. Someone that will never quarrel with me.

My Hubstation! Hubber hubber!

He, my friends, is a Digital Video Recorder (DVR) that comes with 160GB of hard disk space which is equivalent to 80 hours of recording! Now, no other lover would have as much holding power as him! =P



I never have to miss my fave shows again even when I’m not home cos I can just record and watch them whenever I want to, thanks to Starhub Cable TV!!




If you are the 539,000 (figure from I.S Mag) Singaporeans households that are part of my lover’s club, I know u're loving it too! But wait, that makes 4 million other households who watch nothing else but Channel 5, 8, U, Okto and what nots!? U dunno the fab programs you’re missing out on on other channels!

 Oh my gee, you can’t miss Glee!

Yes, It’s bout a bunch of high school kids but before u say, “CHEY!”, I can assure u that it’s so much more sophisticated and believable than High School Musical!



It deals with the dramas in life that many of us go through, teenage pregnancy (okay maybe not that many of us! haha), divorce, fights among classmates, issues with parents, BGRs and more but the my fave thing about the show is definitely the humor, oh oh wait, I said the show is sophisticated… it’s really about desire and passion! ;)

Glee is about wanting something and doing whatever it takes to get it! Now I’m sure you can identify with that, you over-achieving Singaporeans! =p

I can go on and on about what shows u’re missing out like So You Think You Can Dance (I don’t think I can dance anymore after watching them! They’re mad awesome dancers! *pales in comparison), CSI, Grey’s Anatomy (OMG IT’s SOOOO GOOD, better than orgasm ladies, KIDDING) and many more but I shall not bore you with it, you can the drift!

I didn’t even had to waste any time to physically queue at the Starhub customer servies centres, nor did I have to be put on hold on 1627! Loves it!



I just had to take 3 simple steps:


1. Check out Starhub.com.sg to see which are the basic groups I want to subscribe to

2. Give my friend Alvin (a hardcore Man U Liverpool fan! Shit, now all the Liverpool Man U fans will boycott him!) a call

3. And meet with him to sign a form. He can basically meet you anywhere in Singapore to your convenience! I met with him for like 5 seconds at Expo after our service! ;)



Then a technician from Starhub came to my place to install it and voila!

Talk about a hassle-free lover! And one that will always be there to entertain you 24/7, make you laugh and cry, educate you about life, update you on the latest happenings just by pressing his buttons? Where to find? =D

 

Not even my bf can do that! Okay lah, at least my he can hug and whisper sweet nothings to me but my Hubstation can’t! Hahaha! Oh oh, but when my bf is boring I can’t fast forward but when the tv show is or when commercials come up, I can!! The power is all in my hands! Take that u advertisers! I’m not watching yr commercials, neh nanny poo poo! But if u put it online, like, on blogs, I will! =p

Now if you’ve never subscribed to Starhub Cable TV before and you must think that such efficient service and lovely dovey must come with a hefty price right? WRONG! I got mine at

50% discount!

 

HALF PRICE!  

And service charge, installation fees and rental of the set top box?

ALL WAIVED!

FREEEEEEEEEE!

免费!

Kosong!

Going to the service centre won’t even

get you such a good deal lor!

So if you want to enjoy such unbelievable cheap and good service, or u simply need to find out more, just give

 

this handsome guy, Alvin, a call at 

94521900!

During godly hours of course! Ideally between 1.30 to 10pm! He’s single btw! =p My apologies guys, he’s not gay… And cougars? Sorry, I don’t think you are his type either.

And being my blog reader comes with it, hem hem, privileges, tell Alvin that you saw this advertisement on my blog and he’ll throw in a free channel of your choice like HBO, Star Movies, etc, for 6 mths!

Now if you may excuse me, I need to go make some love…

 With Horatio!

He’s almost God-like in CSI Miami lor! Even when the villains point a gun at him, he's still so calm and cool one!

Let me know if Alvin is like that too

when he’s serving you k!! =) 

P.S: To all my readers from Malaysia, Brunei, Japan, Australia, USA and more, thanks for the support! It's so encouraging to know that u want to read my blog! And for those stuck in Europe due to the Icelandic volcano ash? I've heard much about your plight though I'm here in tiny S'pore! May the ashes clear up sooon so your travel plans won't be affected anymore! Xoxo!

If my boyfriend likes it, he should put a ring on it! And... the next Miss Singapore Universe to be!

I’m counting down to 16 April cos that’s my boyfriend’s final day in SMU!  Hopefully he will be employed very soon and start earning a decent $2.5 to $3k every month… then… we can get married earlier! Tee hee!



I’ve always wanted to formally tell the world about him… he’s really a very talented man. He does web designing, graphic design and video editing. He also aced his Computing in JC and is a programming genius! I tell you, whenever his project mates dunno how to program, he’ll be the man they count on! Just last year, the iPhone application that he and his project mates wrote won some Stand Chart award, $2k per person!

 The hottest model at Fashion In The Sky, woo hoo!

On top of his many talents, he’s a very, very nice guy. And that is also both his greatest strength and his greatest weakness. People, like myself (HAHA), are inclined towards taking him for granted. I can’t even tell you the countless times that business owners approached him for video editing, design, etc, ask for discounts and he agrees to them! I’m usually not very happy when he does that. :) Hello, my future wedding is at stake! And not to mention the 2 words, “Spoil market!”


I have a secret desire for him to transfer to my zone! Oops! It’s not a secret anymore, *poses with hand on mouth*! I know he’ll have so much fun and have a great time here and…. we could really benefit from his many talents! Tooooo many people marrying out of my zone already, it’s time for people to marry in for a change! And I certainly don’t mind being the history maker! Hiak hiak hiak! Shout out to Vanessa Wong: Pls don’t leave DT zone! Ask JX to come! Hahaha!



And yes, back to the topic on marriage… Time to talk about my dream… “I WANT TO HAVE A BOYFRIENDDDDD… I WANT TO GET MARRIED!!!!!!! I WANT TO HAVE CHILDREN!!!” Hahahahhaha. Kidding!


The best wedding is not one you can pay yourself, it's the best one when everything is sponsored! Just like Xiaxue's!

See the place so atas one. And finally I see her father.... how come Xiaxue talks about her mum on her blog but not her dad? Hmmm... Photo from http://demoments.sg/.

I saw some very ingenious wedding gowns online.. they come with POCKETS! Lazy to credit the sources so pardon me!

 Sort of a androgynous, elegant look?

It’ll be so fabulous! I’ll be able to keep my mobile phone with me and do real time tweeting! I can also answer phone calls from ignorant guests who can’t find the wedding venue! No, pls don’t call me on my wedding day, I’ll be terribly busy and I'll go mad if ten people starts calling me and asking which floor, how to come, etc! I will give good directions on my wedding invitations no worries and most likely Aaron will be the one designing it! *wide grin*

 I think Janet would love this. :) She likes ribbons. :)

Tissue papers in the pocket will also be a must! In case I tear after saying my vows, which I think, I’m very capable of considering how I view marriage as the day I start a family filled with warmth and happiness! And…. I HAD BETTER NOT SNEEZE ON MY WEDDING DAY, GAWD, THAT WOULD BE SO UNGLAM AND EMBARASSING! *AH CHOO!!!*

 I can't wear this, my legs are too ugly to be seen!

I have the boobs to pull this off! Hehehe!

That said,  I don’t think such wedding gowns will be cheap… BUT, it’s free to dream! =)


Annabel was so kind, she was talking on FB about her experience in a gym toilet where some aunties were discussing about how to satisfy their husbands….
 

My relatives have neverrrr in a million years praised me like that before! Lol.

For those that don’t know who Annabel is, she won the Most Gorgeous Female 2009! She also kindly modeled for us at FITS. We were in the same School of Theology batch in 2008. I’ve never met another like her, gorgeous yet humble, smart and yet so willing to volunteer herself, sophisticated, friendly and ever so encouraging!  

 That million dollar smile...

She’s also one of the finalists in Miss Singapore Universe 2010! No, not the Ris Low one, that’s Miss World Singapore! I’m definitely rooting for you to win girl! Check out the RazorTV interview she did a few months back!


[Video removed cos stupid RazorTV's video are all automatically played, very annoying I know, prob to hike up their poor viewership (I was paid money to do a focus group with regards to online video channels, Razor TV in particular, I would know!), even my genius programmer bf can't make it NOT play auto. But u can still watch it by clicking here! Yes, I still love you Annabel! Go girl go! :)]


Soooooo charming right!? =) Annabel, maybe you should be the next senior pst of CHC, u fit all the criteria - good-looking, 25 yrs old, smart, anointed, contemporary… Hahaha, kidding lah! =D Following yr blog, love your entries, keep em’ coming! Xoxo!
