Stuck again!

so i'm in Charlotte Airport now, about 3 hours after being informed my flight to JFK has been delayed (TWICE) from 1.50 to 3pm then 5.30pm!! walked around for a bit then my freakin lappie bag got too heavy for me and was searching allll around for a powerpoint to charge my Tosh baby..so finally settled for Burger King!
Charlotte Airport has graciously offered wireless internet throughout the place, so i'm able to pass time and blog while enjoying my Double Whopper with fries and Dr Pepper (mmm :)))
i guess anything is good when you're hungry! but this is amazing (hey i haven't had a bite to eat all day k!!)! two luscious juicy beef patties with spongy sesame seed bun, actually crispy lettuce and tomatoes which the juice hasn't been all wrung out of!

best part: tangy green pickles...mmmm..............

fries are good too! but still can't wait to eat NYC food with DBS + 1 tonight~! yay yaayyy~~~

Andy McKee~!!!

John, you GOTTA see this.

thanks, A!!

My Last Day

was like..

rushing around, freaked out i couldn't get my last project done in time..cold, wet, running from one building to another, getting my jeans soaked, clacking around in my impractical but strangely comfortable Aerosoles wedges, having my badge taken away (! *sob*)

frantically taking photos, feeling a strange (VERY FREAKING STRANGE) sense of detachment as i said goodbye to everyone. is this my way of dealing with difficult moments now?

i'm still on Mac-mode, doing alt+(key) instead of Ctrl. i am going to miss that glorious widescreen.

i will miss everyone. some people more than most. found a friend in the last place i expected. i hope it's mutual. the conversations have kept me sane for all this while.

did a last and final (insert name here) and left my adapter and phone charger at the office. JEEZ. lucky that JK is home sick and could get the computer cord off her. so, back to the office on Monday i guess!

it was fun :)

3 days to New York. phoo.....i'm nervous.

bright lights, big city. bring me back to me..

Alicia Keys - No One

truth?

truth is..this song makes me feel happy. it reminds me of a Valentine's night where i was just getting to know someone who would show me a different kind of love and care i'd never had before. the song was blasting from a club downstairs and i had that miniscule, fluttering feeling of getting to know someone for the first time and finding out you like the things you're finding out. a lot.

yes, it's different. very different. but why would i want what i had before? they obviously didn't work.

so, if you tell me it's the truth, i would be very happy indeed.

Fragrant Rice - Jay Chou

when i feel like absolute crap, you always know how to cheer me up! yay~ can't wait for your album.

even though you ARE a capricorn. guess it can't be helped.

追不到的梦想 换个梦不就得了
so true! :)

hai gua...hai gua.. :))))))))

What it Feels Like for a Girl

i want this right now.

credits to DBS for introducing this site to me.

13 minutes

to 12am. i feel like i'm back in the days of refusing to sleep cause i didn't want to waste time.

then after that. it was simply because i could not. because if i lay there, in the dark, alone, everything would come rushing to me at once. and it was unbearable.

maybe i'm just feeling uncomfortable (read: ngiawy) because the cat isn't with me tonight. or that i botched up my hair-curling, which i knew i would.

yes, i'm writing randomly. i just feel like blogging.

i should be excited. in a week and 3 days i will be exploring one of the greatest cities in the world, my dream city since i was in primary school.

maybe that will do it. bring that feeling of wonder and amazement and rush that i miss so much from the old me.

it's all your fault.

McDonalds country ham biscuit

so i was sitting at my desk idly flicking through news and wondering when i would finally appreciate the rumblings in my tummy and go heat up yet another muffin for my first bite of the day.

suddenly an angel in a cable-knit sweater descended and presented me with this! thank you SO much, R! ladies and gentlemen, i present to you the best thing since sliced bread, the McDonalds Country Ham Biscuit!

yea. i thought it was a cookie too. it's southern for BUN!

omg. biscuits are. the BEST thing. crumbly fluffy, still-warm, with a delicious salty piece of country ham in the middle. last night i had one KFC biscuit and i sopped up my sambal sauce with it. WOW. MAN.

4 weeks more and i will try the recipe out back home in the kitchen!

a hole in my wallet

i finally found a place to stay in NYC. the money is probably not worth it, but i bet Old Man stopped sweating when i told him the location, a block away from Times Square. here's a preview..

its right next to the Majestic Theater which hosts the Phantom of the Opera play. so i don't really have an excuse to go...even if i fork out $37 for a seat all the way in the back, i can still say i watched the Phantom in NYC!

so the trip is less than a month away and let me tell you, i seem to be not good at all on saving money for it...if you want to come to Winston-Salem and shop, MommyK is your best guide!

i always thought that i would love to have someone pick out stuff and say 'here, get this', and i found her! she's helped, or actually forced me to get things i wouldn't normally cause i'd jus say it's not me..i swear this is my mother's revenge on me, she always said i was AhMa and i told her she was AhLian :D.

TJ Maxx is hell for my wallet and MommyK is the devil LOL i got this Kathy van Zeeland bag for $35, i don't think it's that bad to spend on this bag, it doesn't have alll the pockets i'd like it to have but it is a good size and a nice cheery yellow.
a definite change from what i'm used to buying, i have to tell you! i don't know why, i'm always used to getting 'safe' drab colours. at least it's less drastic than the zebra-print belted one she initially wanted me to get at SteinMart!
it's even got its own bling for added 'AhLian-ness' :Di can hear you now. "where the hell are you going to wear that?" i don't know either but i love them! they are so cute! when i got this i also got my Winston-Salem killer heels, $15 for a pair of sexy shiny black BCBGirls heels. that was my absolute favourite buy cos it was so damn cheap.

and of course MommyK found a pair of gold wedges at TJ Maxx for $10. how to turn down i tell you?! it looked soo cool with my newly pedi-ed black toenails (pedi was also a first!).

yeah, i sound like a shopaholic. but i rarely go out to eat or even ANYWHERE here okay. so it's worth all of it! it's great spending my own money for the first time :)

wah. so late liaw. goodnight!

heavy heavy head

and possibly

sounds fun and exciting! but planning for it? omg headACHE man..

i'm sure it'll be worth it though!

just go for it, cause i probably won't get a chance for a holiday like this for a long, long time.

and YOU, you damn idiot, putting so many questions in my head now. but i have to admit you are right about most things though. but still. my argument is that ignorance is bliss.

i guess my main question now, that applies to evrything is, should i just seize the chances that come to me? or just play safe?

somehow, losing someone close to you changes your whole big-picture view. on one hand, life is short, you never know what may happen, so just do what makes you happy and throw yourself into the moment.

on the other hand. be realistic and think that, no, you won't die in the next second, you have to think things through in the long term and 'do the right thing', or take the safe option.

ugh. headache and backache. going to lie down.

i need a new bag

the inner zipper on my ciplak Miu Miu broke. i saw an almost-perfect-but-for-the-material bag at Stein Mart:
there was this one and black and ZEBRA! omg it was so tempting. but so not me! right?

right?

this is my dream-will-never-have-cos-too-kiamsiap-bag
nearly $500 leh!! but it's so nice...dammit Wilh, you and your Coach obsession has rubbed off!

and yeah, i just want the Cole Haan one cos it has my name on it. i ebay-ed and it was $300! for a nice deep blue one. the shape is all wrong...but it's got my name!

yeah. i am a sucker for marketing like that. got a problem? :D

LabOR Day Weekend..Selamat Hari Merdeka :)

i just got back from this

good food, good company, great GREAT environment. going to sleep and waking up with the sound of waves crashing on the beach...absolutely beautiful.

still. i feel the emptiness.

dang it. it's been long enough. what's it going to take?
