- san francisco was wonderful- spending time with my sister in spite of the bickering is always nice.
tried samba dancing and eyed down my sister's friend at her capoeira class,
all in good fun.
the rain kind of sucked ass but the weather's still spectacular and i love the west coast a lot!
at the pittsburgh airport waiting for my flight back to toronto now...
taking the red-eye flight is great because you don't get the bitchy flight attendants bugging you and you can stare out of the window and look at the stars and the sunrise in the morning.
i looked out and i swear i've never seen so many stars in my life before. the sky was so clear and below the city is lit from end to end.
absolutely breathtaking.
it's so majestic and beautiful and it can get very emotional i guess if you're in the right mood coupled with appropriate music.
moreover, its the eve of the new year, and its standard protocol to get all teary-eyed from reflecting on the past 12 months.
(which flew by, i might add)
2005 has been an amazing year- too crazy and too many new experiences.
i've never been more free or more adventurous,
i've tried things i've never thought i would try, i've tried things i've always wanted to try,
and i've gained so much from them: whether pleasant or not.
i'm not sure i am ready to welcome the new year with as much enthusiasm partly because i'm afraid this is as good as it gets- what if next year sucks big time? what if i dont' get the same opportunities again?
yet on the other hand i'm a little tired from all this hype- the novelty is wearing off and i'm exhausted from trying all these new things and falling and picking myself up time and time over.
but it's good to be optimistic about the future, because if even you can't sustain and believe in your own hype then nobody will.
so embrace 2006 with open arms and a cheerful disposition!!!
also, as a symbolic start to the new year, i'm moving my blog.
will upate the new address when i get back home
it's about time, 3 years is a long time.
shit time seriously honestly is passing by too fast

- i'm a yuffie:
a young urban fuck-up
i've been bouncing off the walls recently-
just can't stop laughing and doing annoying things...
am i secretly just too anxious about starting a new year?
perhaps-
i need a haircut, decided to cut my own hair last week and now it's a bloody disgrace.
baaaah.
can you read between the lines and tell that i'm all high-strung and on the brink of insanity?????
i wonder what he's up to...hmmm.
pictures!
- merry belated christmas!
at my sister's place in san francisco now-
the weather is amazing compared to toronto; i love the cable cars and the steep roads, but its such a bitch walking uphill sometimes.
went shopping yesterday and i bumped into sida- ex-mtv intern and her singaporean friends!
the world is actually pretty damned small indeed.
and now, my stomach hurts from eating so much garbage.
my sister is out at work and i'm all alone in her gorgeous house.
i'm contemplating staying in and watching dvds or going out to explore the city myself.
although i think a little alone time in a foreign land will do me some good.
hmm, 'tis the season for quality time spent with self.

- at my aunt's place in guelph now
there's no white christmas this year because it's been raining for the past few days and will continue for a while...
but the spirit is in the air!
and thats all that matters...
pictures from maarten's party!
it was a little weird saying goodbye to him, but i didn't feel as sad or anything,
maybe i'm getting used to this game?
but oh well.
it was fun while it lasted.
crazy dutchie bert the domestic goddess
kinky stuff ;)
umair!
with richard and fanny
with maarten- he cut his hair!

- HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA!!!!! :) :) :)
the canadian government recently legalised swingers clubs and of course, gay marriage.
and i know that some people aren't very happy with it,
i guess i can sort if understand how they feel because its exactly how i feel when i see james spader and he didn't do anything to me directly..but its different!!!
and they're cursing and swearing at the government for runining society's morals,
society's shared morals aren't that noble anyways in the first place.
but i think those are just harsh and unreasonable accusations.
i don't think people should make such a big deal if they're not directly affected by it.
unless the swingers or gay couples start fucking in public,
why should other people stop them from doing what they want?
it doesnt quite make sense for me.
it's like if you hate the colour of your neighbour's house,
you can't just rally outside and force him to re-paint it right?
people are selfish like that, i guess.
going to maarten's party tonight,
feel very lazy and very fat and ugly and just want to snuggle up in bed and sleep but i also just realised that i probably won't be seeing him anymore after tonight!
quite sad actually...sigh
i'm exhausted. really i am.

- wanted to rent _crash_ by Paul Haggis but ended up with David Cronenberg's movie instead.
it is by far, one of the worst films i've ever seen in my 20 years of existence.
it's canadian. 'nuff said.
at least deuce bigalow was, in a morbid fashion, remotely entertaining.
this movie sucked ass big time- literally.
there was so much trying-to-be-kinky/erotic sex it was almost a chore watching it.
the story was written by j. g. ballard- the same guy behind _empire of the sun_
such is life, sometimes you're good, sometimes you produce such shit work it's unbelievable.
and can i just say that i think james spader is one of my most hated actor.
it's definitely a huge issue because i hardly ever develop such adverse reactions to celebrities.
he's got the most annoying screen presence, and he's not even vaguely handsome or talented,
and he looks totally like a big pervert, which he is in his films 9 out of 10 times.
he's always typecast as some big sex maniac, like in _secretary_ or in _boston legal_
he's gross and unappealing and unattractive and i feel so sickened just looking at him.
why is he still around? why????
i'm sure there are better-looking alternatives with a more pleasant aura than him!
if the intended purpose of casting him as a fucked up sex-crazed pervert is to make the audience feel disgusted and disturbed, then i must say they've done a perfect job in achieving that aim.
arggghhh. feel so queasy.
must hide dvd case lest i wake up and find myself staring at james spader's picture.
it would be my nightmare before christmas.
on a lighter note,
i'm FINALLY done with exams!
can get my mind off school for a bit now...thank god.
and things are strained indeed.
the weirdness is there but i'm beginning to think it's sooooo 2005.
who has time for this when the new year beckons right?!
moving on!
i'm listening to class 95 and they're playing that irritating song that we love to sing to when we're going clubbing!
oh yes it's laaddiiieesss nighhtt and the feeeelinngg's right!!!
i can totally imagine singing to it and trying to gross you all out with some crazy-assed dance move.
ahhhh good times. we shall defy our age and continue going to mambo nights okay?
so it's a little embarrassing to admit it, but hey it's fun and i don't care!
i miss you girls- nadia, khoo and xiao.
come club with me here...nobody wants to dance with me :(

- just got off the phone with my brother,
and my stomach still hurts from laughing so hard.
i love them because i can whine and whine about my pathetic life story and i know that they care
even though they always tell me to stuff it.
(and not always in the most diplomatic fashion)
what will i do without my brother and sister?
i love being the middle-child!
i miss them. good thing i'm going to be seeing my sister on christmas day! yay!
heading to san francisco/oakland for 5 days, back in time to celebrate new year's back here in canada.
i think it's high time i leave toronto (the cold and the memories) behind and enjoy the west for a bit.
