When i was younger and so much younger than today,
i never needed anybody's help in anyway,
But now these days were gone and i'm not so self assure,
now i find and change my mind and open up the door,
help me if you can i'm feelin down,
and i do appreciate if you shd be around,
help me get my feet back on the ground,
wont you please please help me,
but now my life has changed in so many ways,
my independence seems to vanish in the haze,
but every now and then i feel so insecure,
i know the line 'Just lead your life' i've never done before,
help me if you can i'm feelin down,
and i do appreciate if you shd be around,
help me get my feet back on the ground,
wont you please please help me.

It was a wonderful dinner i had the RiceTable, not really becos of the food but having our pals to celeb our birthday is really a great feeling! Generally the food there is not bad, appetizing and spicy. Not much to rave about..i'll give it a 3/5.


*nice colour combi =D*


*stanley with that blur look. LOL*

Well, i'm not the 'star' of that day cos we were celebrating smurf's 1 day belated and terry's upcoming bday on 13th.


Our tiramisu! Without fail, my bday cake every year will either be a tiramisu or chocolate flavoured. lol.


Cheeeeese~! *beneathe that smile.. is a load of stressful proj creeping behind my back.. cant smile properly*


Lets blow it together! happy happy birthday!

my official big day. nothing 'big' actually, infact i dint even celeb. Woke up feeling like a zombie, the weather was freaking hot and sunny. end up i dint even go to sentosa (initially i wanted to). a rather boring day, supposed to meet up with besties Jo, Waiyan and Dinah, end up all cant make it due to work and assignments. I can understand. Anyway, they arrange another day for me! =D well,i only made my trip down to raffles shopping centre's convention hall to visit the TEMPUS exhibition - by the Hour Glass. Looking at antique watch collection and some 6 digit figure timepieces..
ate at Astons for dinner. i realised Astons isnt tat tasty anymore, simply not worth the wait. get back home right after tat to do proj all nite! damn.. wat a day.

but in the year 2009.. i will have a mass celebration at Marina Bay's floating stadium! LOL.

i need time!

If i can have 48hrs a day..i'll spend half the day in the kitchen... BAKING! actualli i dun really like to 'bake' *cos i gotta wash utencils* but its pretty fun preparing ingredients, mixing them together and enjoying the 'dessert' *awww...its so contradicting!*

hmm...if i reallyhave the time, i will try baking the 'Chocolate Fondant'.. specially for choco lovers..


see that chocolate ooozzing out?... =P
