2007

Every time 31 December comes, I think about Ally Mcbeal. There's this episode of the show where John Cage tells Ally:

"To know if you have lived a great year, when you look back at the stuff you have done/experienced in that year and it turns you into a nutcase who laughs and cries all at the same time."

Its like another hour to 2008. Seriously, I am not much of a New Year's Eve person. I even shiver to the singing of Auld Lang Syne. Am serious about this. I just don't like this day.

Looking back at 2007, I think I did live it well. Went through happiness, heartbreak, anger, stress, blissfulness, confidence and more.

2007 had been a rather hard year for me. But I guess I'm the type of person if I don't learn it the hard way, I'll just never learn. At least, in this last day of 2007, I found the true Zelda Woo. Someone that I want to live as for life. Someone that people will say, "Hey! That's so Zelda.".

So 2008 will be a year of tests for me. To test if I am able to live this way. If I can be Zelda. Some of you might think I'm a nutcase. But do you ever wonder have you been living yourself? Sometimes I see people just blindly living life. Getting easily influenced by what others have to say, all those. I was like that in 2007. In 2008, I'll just be me. Was tired living how others what me to live life in 2007. So 2008, its the year of ME!

Guess when I look back on the year same time next year, even more tears and laughter will follow.

Happy 2008 to all!

painting

Went for a shopping spree on Saturday. My mom was commenting how nice the paintings were. That so meant she wants me to paint more. ><

Ok. Either am too lazy to do so or too distracted or too busy. I suppose it should be laziness and the distractions.

Ok. For 2008 resolutions, me will paint more. Me will be more discipline. Me will be less spontaneous. (Its just too much spontaneity in me.) Me will be more distinctive with what I want to live like.

Girls

I sort of have this topic to blog about - GIRLS. Yes. The species of man that share the same gender as me. If you read my blog and have no idea what sex I am, I'm a girl. The one that has boobs, a vagina, uterus, mood swings etc. Ok. Enough of the elaboration.

As a guy would know, there are many kinds of girls in the world. Won't touch on the looks. Just the generic stereotypes people set.

Girl-next-door

Yes. Everyone knows her. Internationally, she's probably a brunette. Somewhat like Sandra Bullock. (Love those locks of hers. Oh and the teeth too!)
In Singapore, in my opinion, the girl next door(GXD) to guys are like cute girls that are super decent/innocent/quiet. Asian example would be like Hong Kong actress Shirley Yeung.

Tomboy

I was a tomboy before. I hung out with the guys pretty often, had boy hair, wore pants. The rather extremes turn butches or lesbians. But society can't really be bothered. Tomboy, hmm. Ella from SHE.
But, she's not tomboy tomboy material. She just looks the part. Plus she CRIES a lot.

Femme Fatale

My favourite kind of girl. My aspiration for now. Probably 2008 resolution. Sometimes a bit over-bearing too. In the 21st century, equality of the sexes. One such babe would be Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct 2. I didn't see the first show. So won't comment on it.

That's enough for now.

Glooomy

Am gloomy & tired.
Guess I must have woken up to the wrong side of bed.
><

XMAS

Sort of forgotten to wish my peeps "A Blessed Christmas & a Wonderful New Year".

Have gotten some advice that I have a rather short temper/too uptight with stuff/too serious over things.
Firstly, I know I am not a perfect person. If so, I would be a robotic person.
Secondly, having the idea of growing up in an environment where almost everyone (sometimes even teachers) tease you; might spur the defense mechanism in you. Imagine starting your kindergarden school days having laughed at because you can't speak a proper Chinese sentence or because that you are so much taller than others.
Thirdly, you try to move on. However, along the way you meet people you just can't get enough satisfaction of people. They asked for your changing. At first, it was just asking. Slowly, thinking that you might be too densed to get their meaning; they demand for change.

I can go on listing the points why am I such. Guess it will be endless. Am really tired. I have been trying my best to give and take. However do others do so too? If I have done so, would it help? Maybe I am really optimistically pessimistic. Seriously, I rarely so do give advice on people's character. I feel that if you were to forcefully change a person, this person would become you and not them. Sad, I suppose. Maybe I do like learning the hard way.

Ending off with an "oh well".

Donate Blood

Dearest friends,

Christmas is a time for giving. This xmas, I am urging you to donate blood. Please read this. You will know what I mean. At the same time, donating blood can save 3 lives! If you are really stingy like me and wanna do something nice this xmas, please donate blood. You won't even need to fork out a single cent. Isn't that really neat? :) By the way, if you think going to the blood bank is too far for you, there are mobile donation drives going on throughout the island. You can read them at this site. :)

God speed.

Holiday

Thank god for the invention of celebration. Celebration hence leads to holidays. Am going to the Arena Club today. Sleeping in tomorrow, the holiday. :)

The Chipmunks.

Caught the Alvin & the Chipmunks with my sisters. Oh did that show brought back many childhood memories. :)

Fucking bitches.

Sometimes, just using the term "fucking bitches" is just getting a bit stale. Should really start thinking of fresh phrases to insult these people.
Besides the evil princess I touched on yesterday, there's also the power-stricken Empress Dowager. So ALL royalty are bad. Hmm.. Maybe I got to dispose my Queen title. Ok. Dispose Queen title. Am the professional. Better. Elitist sounds good too. Ok. Set. Elitist.
Thank god I have this blog to vent my frustrations. Though I know the above is fluff. But who cares.

ARGHZ

I know I have this huge load of work to be done. I just got to blog this out. There's a princess at my workplace! ROAR~! She so reminds my of：Ya. ARGHZ.

A quickie

I don't really have time to blog. Rushing the magazine.
Just to let you guys know, my sister started a shop blog.
Please go check it out.
Spread the word.
Thanks.

Design December or December Design.

December is a crazy design month. Or it is a design crazy December month. (God. I have to stop being so witty with my words.><) Attended Blurring Boundaries; a lecture by Karim Rashid yesterday. The only word to describe the lecture is:

Inspirational.

Seriously, I know I can't design. But I can write, think of ideas for new concepts and talk well. Thats my strengths. I know that in the future I might not touch design anymore. But you might ask, "Then, if so, why did you go for the lecture?" My answer - Sometimes we all need wake up calls here and then. So this is just a wake up call for me.
A little off track, he's really TALL. ><. Ok. Back to the crazy design month. Am rushing for the deadline of my magazine. Have changed the layout of the magazine. Guess I'll be using this layout in the future too.

Wish list~

Xmas is in 19 days.
Here's my Xmas list:

Rose-tints

Simple post.
Trying to get people to see everything in rose-tints.

A reader.

For a while in my blogging period of my life, I did thought that my readers were only my really close friends. You know those few; Marilyn, Jeffrey, Elaine, my sis & probably Jie Mei. I had a little shock/surprise/whatever-you-call-it yesterday.
Seriously I'd never expected it. Never in my calculations would I have thought he reads my blog. Totally went o.0. Yup. That. The raised-one-brow look.
Oh well. Had to get that off my very fat narrow chest. Ok. That felt good. ><.

Singapore Design Festival!

Or rather, those interested in the pictures, please go to this site. You'll be able to view the pictures.
