NON-TOXIC

Joey, you got to be stronger than this!

Leap Year




this movie is breathtaking. it was a simple plot but everything was shot beautifully! :)
thank you cass for recommending!

take heart, my soul

I had a tough week.

as i starting into a new phase in life, i feel that expectations by parents are higher. they think that im insensible, irresponsible, not mature in thinking, selfish and do not put my family first but myself. i dislike how they use money issues such as my uni fees, my expenses to pressurize me, stressing how much ive to return them back when im going out to the society to work. i dislike how they think im not contributing to this family. i dislike how they think im spending way too much. i dislike how they dont want me to go out. i dislike when they ask me to reflect if im doing the right thing. i have been trying, but there are faults you still spot.

"Live your life and dreams and become the person you were always meant to be, and let no one stop you. ”

is it really possible. i feel trapped and worned out by the same restrictions. all i could think about this week was just how much my heart burns. it has brought me nothing but tears. and now, where do i go from here.


Almost there

"Whatever makes you happy"

can i really do what makes me happy. im conflicted by the two choices that i have to make.

and through this, i realised i can only give all to God, cause i know he is in charge of this.

Would you hear O Lord.

Celebration @ Hard Rock Cafe





BM, Graduation 2010

Worried about how I would walk, whether I would trip and fall, whether I looked poised and happy. And before you know it, the moment is over. I had made my way down the red carpet, smiled and received the empty folder which supposedly should have my diploma certificate.

Not much of thoughts though. Just pleased that the day has finally arrived.
and to my fav girls, we have all graduated! thank you and much love :)





Burning up / away



Hello, I would like you to know that you were a good part of my day yesterday. This will inevitably fizzle out, when I cant be sure. Till then I think we should keep with the unorthodox times. I am awkward and wierd, but thank you for laughing along with me. You have been a great company to me and I thank you for that.

Balance Sheet

Life is all about balance.

There are good days. And then, there are bad days.

And today is a not-so-good day.

Maybe it’s because today is just tuesday only
Maybe it’s because I feel taken for granted
Maybe it’s because I am tired
Maybe it's because I realised that both my parents cant attend my grad ceremony
Maybe it's because I haven seen you today
Maybe it's because the weather is cold

Maybe later it will be better.

Pretty pretty!



I got my teacup!! yay :) thanks cass!!

Happy Birthday Lorena!

It has been a long time since I could laugh and behaved terribly, totally unlike the working self in office. Like seriously, who cares. We are young and carefree and it feels like we totally owe the atmosphere (well, maybe for just that moment)

Friends have the ability to make you laugh and forget all the pains that you feel and make you feel belonged. You are just you, with people who love you despite all your flaws and who endure the lame jokes you come up with. They will let you mock them simply because deep down they know that only you can mock them because you love them. And they will listen to you whine and complain and then tell you to stand up on your own two feet and move on.

But really, I appreciated their time (:








always having my support in pursuing your dreams!! and enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realise they were big things :) hope you like the happy meal too! xoxo, joey


oh why oh why




because it is so real that im scared of it after hearing and witnessing for myself.

“Often we allow ourselves to be upset by small things we should despise and forget. We lose many irreplaceable hours brooding over grievances that, in a year’s time, will be forgotten by us and by everybody.”

i hope it die down soon.

Food for thought



today i saw the reality of workplace.

i dont know to describe. but i find that the world that we live in is such that we find joy in the temporary. people will lie and disappoint you. sometimes i just wonder why cant life be much simpler. why backstab or get involved in office politics. it feels like all these things can end up hurting and burn deep within our souls.

And the promise of a Saviour, the promise of a better place in Heaven, the promise of God being there for me always while I'm still alive, these are the source of my eternal joy that I cannot find anywhere else. although man fail, but God will not fail. and perharps, that is the hope when everything seems to fall.

"Live in a way that pleases God, and love Him and serve Him with all your heart and soul." Deuteronomy 10:12

it is our choice isnt it?


Darling, as it goes





because my mum is working this weekends, we had to have a morning mother's day celebration. all of us dragged ourselves to wake up at 7am just to wash up and get ready to go out for dim sum breakfast. we got lost in geylang area. we went in circles and i could hardly rmb the directions to get to 126. all i rmb was we took a photo near the traffic light and that helps. haha. i notice every store that is near the traffic junction until we found it.

Cinnamon ♥

there hasnt been any much updates because my internet is kind of screwed, though it said that its connected but i still cant access >:( its frustrating when you needed it much. ohwells. will try to blog as much as i can get access to it.

i decided to enter the uni of stirling doing retail marketing. when i submitted the documents, my mind was in a whirl and it made me dwell through many factors. not sure if this was a correct step, but i believe God will guide and lead me through. because God always bail out of me in worst timings :)

today i baked again! with sissy. we made maple syrup muffins but only the top coat with cinnamon powder was nice. the muffin itself was yucks. hahaha. however, when we eat the topcoat and muffin together, it isnt that bad afterall. maybe every saturday will be bake day! ^^ and my whole family can all grow fat together.

one more thing, the swelling heat... ... ... ... ohya i remembered! the hanoi trip seems to be in good plans. OHYEAHHHHH!
