L I A N M E I T I N G : August 2011

Pictures from a decade ago.

As the title suggests, yes, The following pictures are from years ago. 1 of it was really from 10 years ago. GOD, I'M OLD.

Well, before you wonder why in the world would I start posting all these pictures, let me explain. Hehe. See, few days ago, bird was over at my place & we were talking about how much we've grown and changed since secondary school and how we miss the old times. & I went "Hey, wanna see how much older we look now compared to the past? GO GET MY EXTERNAL HARDDISK FROM MY BROTHER!"

& yeap, bird went to get it and we went right down memory lane for the next 2 hours.

Lying on my bed, looking at my laptop, going through thousands of pictures. & god, I was super messy in organizing my picture folders last time. I have folders name "Untitled", "New folder", "New folder 1", "Clubbing", "Neoprints", "Birthdays" .. bla bla. So it was really tough to go through the pictures from the oldest to the newest.

** For those who are very interested in my "original" face without any fake lashes, before going for braces, & before I've mastered the art of makeup, ENJOY **

Picture taken in 2001, November 24.

Me, Shalyn, Bird when we were 14 years old.

Thank god the lovegethy prints out the date. That was the only time in my life that I had "short" hair. & mind you, its not even short to begin with right? But yeap, I've always had long hair since I can remember.

& the above picture was taken when we were 15.

Attending some school's night concert.

All wanna act mature, 15 years old only dress until damn old. LOL.

Picture above was taken when I was 15 too!

The left is obviously me, & the girl on the right is Juan.

Yes, I have gold hair.

Birdie & I.

We were into the "act jap" trend which was damn huge at that era. I bleached my hair 3x to get this color & bird bleached her hair 5x!! She's damn hardcore.

We were mad over Ayumi, I swear.

The above neoprint was taken when we were secondary 4, which means 16 years old.

As you can tell, we were both very hardworking + vain girls.

We would always dye our hair during the November-December school holidays. Just to have colored hair for 2 months and when school starts in January, we'll have to dye it black all over again.

This was when I was in Secondary 4 or 5. Shit, I can't remember.

But god, I do miss those times back in Katong Convent.

I've never ever regretted going to a Convent girls school. I've been in a girls school my entire life. Since KC Primary to Secondary. We really had alot of crazy times that I don't even know where to begin with. Everyday there's something funny/insane that we'll do to the teachers & classmates.

Secondary school years were probably the best years of my schooling life. I mean if you compare between Primary, secondary & polytechnic life.

Birdie & I after collecting our N level certs, 17 years old.

Damn happy cause I didn't study at all and managed to get 3 points. HAHA.

Birdie & I when I've just entered Poly life.

17 going 18 years old.

& this is us now.

AT 24 YEARS OLD.

OMG, I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE TYPING 24!!!!

:( :( :( :( :(

I feel damn old now.

CAN SOME GENIUS INVENT A TIME MACHINE ALREADY?!!

x.x

JB for the cheap food, massage, movies.

Its been a long time.

IM SO SORRY!!

Terribly busy and I know its not an excuse you haven't heard before. BUT ITS TRUE. I'm always too tired or away from home. Also, I have limited internet access sometimes.

So its a Friday night and bf & I just finished watching "Bad Teacher". Not really nice leh. I thought it would be a much better movie. & prior to that, my brother, Shunxiong & I played Monopoly deal for like more than an hour in my brother's room. & guess who is the big winner of the night? MOI!! Haha okay nothing to be proud of. But the feeling damn shiok lah.

Dinner was porridge at The Oasis. Not as good as I expected. Won't be going back there anymore!!

Boyfriend & I in Janice's car with Okm, going into JB!!

& if you are wondering why am I wearing a tshirt, here's the story.

I was out before that & I was wearing like a halter top + mini skirt. Bf did not allow me to dress up whenever we enter JB so I had no choice but to change into bf's stupid monkey tshirt & get this, HIS BOXERS. Okay, at least the boxers looks like those cotton on checkered shorts.

Love going into JB, but hate the long ride there.

Foody time!!

At Taman Sentosa.

Janice & Okm.

Bf giving a stupid grin.

Waiting for our food..

Ordered too much for 4 person. >.<

& below are just some of the things I've bought and remembered to take pictures of.

I've gotten like loads of new dresses, shoes, jackets but I always forget to take pictures of it. So I'm sorry I can't share them with you! I remember the days back in Poly where I was so hardworking to wear all the new clothes I bought and take pictures of them. Now, I just leave the dresses in the shopping bags at the corner of my room. I NEED MORE TIME. :(

Hello kitty edition pens from Swarovski.

One for me & one for Bird. SO CUTE RIGHT.

A roomy bag for casual days from Kate Spade. Its actually orangey-red in real life.

From Houston's Sephora.

Nars orangey-red lipstick, Guerlain''s meteorite pearls, and this multi-brush thingy that's super convenient.

& lastly, a new addition to my never ending accessories craze.

The original color that set off the hype about the YSL arty ring.

Now its balanced. hehe

Alrighty, time to get some sleep.

P.S: Just realized I've kinda grown up/changed. In terms of setting my priorities in life. I'm gonna stop spending so much and start saving. Yes, as much as that may seem impossible, I'm not gonna buy anymore branded bags for the rest of the year. Till maybe my birthday in June next year. Maybe just a new wallet. BUT THAT'S IT. No more new Chanel earrings, YSL rings, or bags. My crave for the Hermes 'H' belt & 'H' gold bangle are now pushed away. Just like my thoughts for a Chanel 2.55, which have been deleted temporarily from my brain. I have this plan that I've worked out mentally and I hope to achieve what I've set. Just another 1-2 years + more and we shall see! :)

No amount of labels will bring me as much happiness as a home for Shunxiong & I.

Birthday ppppp-arties.

~~Pictures today,~~

~~words another time.~~

Okay hello everyone!!

I'm here updating my blog right now cause I'm stuck in my hotel room in Moscow with nothing to do. Was supposed to crash in another girl's room for dvd watching and stuff but I think she is sleeping now! So maybe later?

OMG SO EXCITED!!

Why? Because I've been away from home for 7-8 days already. And I'm seriously homesick now. But great news is, I'm coming back in less than 48 hrs time. So yes, I'm very stoked about that. I already have my entire Saturday planned out.

Touchdown at the airport around 5+am, Boyfriend, brother & bird picking me up, we'll have breakfast at Macdonalds, drive home, sleep til around 2pm, wake up & prepare to go out. Dinner with the 3 of them maybe in town, then movie! I've yet to catch "The rise of the planet of the apes". Everyone around me can't stop telling me how nice that movie is. So yes, we are gonna watch that.

OK, REALLY CAN'T WAIT TO GET HOME!! :)
