Betweenness // Closeness

Is it okay that I am comfortable with virtual betweenness, but not closeness in reality? Like how I feel like we're match-made in heaven to be best friends over random virtual conversations on twitter or whatsapp, but facing nothing but uneasiness and awkward not-more-than-two-seconds eye contact when it comes to a face-to-face encounter. 

This distance is something I'm so used to; This distance of us knowing each other by a mere square-tiled, over-filtered display picture, of us picturing each other's facial expression through the massive usage of emojis, of us reciting each other's voices using our imagination of how shrill or raucous we sound while we read through the replies, and of us expressing more care and concern for each other because the computer screen hides our bashfulness.

Help. Is the digital world eroding my level of sociability or am I entering a mid-life crisis?

My title is not lyrics hor Nicole

My comfort zone :-)

Part thereof

Maki-san kind of morning with my bee. \ (^a^) /
Checklisted the weirdest combo of ingredients on the order form, but sushi is still sushi. In the bus, we sneaked up to the upper deck and found ourselves a blind spot to eat our sushi. Bet we were judged, but we dgaf.

After lessons, we rushed over to Beer Market for their Happy Hungry Hour. Had a good laugh over how the band vocalist tried to hit on some girls who were evidently uninterested in him and how desperate Edmund could be over the $3 chicken wings. 

Thatskewl Factory Day with the pimpless gurls :-*

Who needs them pimps when we've got each other? 

Collection will be out on 3rd June. Leave me a message on ask.fm if you're interested, heh.

Grad day for the Year 4s.

Ermm well can't be bothered to elaborate further. Toodles.

First date

"Will you be my date for tomorrow?"

I said yes.

We weren't the usual movie catchers, nor were we the picnic enthusiasts. We were just.... y'know, us. 

We have haircuts together at our usual L'Oreal salon. We shopped together and for each other. We created MVs together. We've committed crimes together (88), and escaped together. And....

We carried an addiction for cheese-baked pasta together.

Tall, not very dark, but very charming when he cracks a cold joke and laughs it off on his own (even more so when he rejoices over the slightest matters ever).

And he is none other than.............

..... a she. TEEHEE.

1) Haven't trolled my friends in ages and I'm not gonna deny that it felt so damn good 

2) Haven't been out with this girl for ages either and she's still as irreplaceable as she was from the first day we met ;-*

And as you read this Stella, I just wanna thank you for being a great source of motivation and support during the numerous troughs of my life. Like what you said, our friendship was sparked by a miracle on Free Cone Day, sustained by faith, trust and sheer love. If I'm Sally, then you're Jack. We could celebrate Halloween on Christmas, and in the night, we'll wish this never ends. We'll wish this never ends. x

Rt if you cryed

Navy Open House 2013

Initially intended to stay home for the weekends to complete the incomplete but I thought I needed a breather more. What more, I've always loved the Navy, above the Land and Air forces. Maybe it's the biased influence from secondary school. I favoured the NCC Sea boys over the NCC Land ones...

Grungy 151.

  

When I positioned my camera towards them, all three jerked their heads down simultaneously. Army boys are still shy boys. Hahaha.

Spotted this baby China doll squatting on the floor in attempt to hide from the scorching heat and I couldn't resist but pedo-lize myself. Asked her mom for permission to snap a shot of her and she posed for me non-hesitantly. *melts*

Candid shot of a young soldier hiding underneath the tank, and it just so happens that he found this picture because of a mutual friend. What a small, small world!

This, above, is my personal favourite. I would caption this "The Land Guardians". 

(Heh, I wouldn't deny that the first thing that popped up in my mind was "The Glorious Laojiaos" though)

Attempt to take a Beatles-ish shot.

Today, I'm beyond proud of being a Singaporean - proud for the majestic battleships that stand dauntless, and proud of the men out there who sacrifice years of their lives training to fight for our land. Waking up at 6 a.m. was worth it after all.

Savourrrr

I like my pancakes savoury.

Ingredients:

1) Pancake mix

2) Lunch leftovers whipped up by Mom

Unfortunately, I am the laziest cook ever :-)

Always, from afar.

"It's okay, just try again. I'll be here to help you."

These words - so faint and distant, yet they linger on in my head so stubbornly.
Wish you were still here to stride through this last lap with me.

You're so good at this, y'know? So good at making me yearn for something I'm denied of.

Caught up

Last Friday: This was the day when Nicole had to see my face for 6 hours straight. She waited for my lessons and dive briefing to end without a word of complain despite it not being obligatory. *touched* Then we waited another hour for Bryan before we headed off to Ion to visit Kristie at work and to have dinner. How we ended up talking about our criteria for our other halves, I'm not sure. But we went on and on until all the doors at Ion were locked up. Impromptu dinners like this are my favourite :-)

Last weekend: Weekend brunch with the Dad. The price to pay? To sit through a humdrum seminar for two whole days just so I could accompany him to catch a glance of his idol. 

P.s. Table Manners has the tastiest scones ever.

And today, we've arrived at Thursday again. I picked V up from school and we had a lovely lunch date at our favourite cafe. #TGIT

Thursday, I'm in love.

I appreciate my Thursdays to death.

Stop

Stop.

Timbre night

The Last Friday night together with Jux Keydingz before the army boys book in.

Yesterday's timeline:

Iron Man 3 > Timbre to celebrate Jian Hao's birthday > Simpang for supper

I really like this picture we look so loving together ♥

Family portrait ♥ (excluding Zul because he is such a buto)

We looked like hardcore gamblers at the table with our poker faces while playing Bridge, HAHAH. And prata never tasted this good.

Well, well, all in all a fantastique night ~
