Some Like It Bad

Once in a while, a girl loves to be taken on a ride on the dangerous side. Sure. goodie-two-shoes often make better husband material but c'mon, once in a while, it's wicked to indulge. Bad boys are awesome flings and miraculously, some can even turn out to be good long-time catch.

Imagine clinging tight to him, escaping on his bike from the throng of baddies chasing after you. Think of the heated arguments between you two stubborn lovers then the even more intense heat of the make up sex. Isn't that just sexy?

Okay, maybe it's just me. Friends do tend to say that i have a weird taste in men. Anyhoo, so why the random post about getting turned on by bad boys? Because i've been watching Gossip Girl and Chuck Bass is making me wet...



Come on, how can anyone not want a taste of that?

In Need Of Rest



I'm pooped y'all. It's barely 10pm and already i can feel my body shutting down for the day.

Today was hectic. Rushing to meet the deadline + A corrupted computer = Lea working on two different computers in two different rooms

Some Things Never Change

(One fine day in 2006, after a chemistry lecture on ions)

Lea:
Ohmigosh, he just smiled at me!
Shirley: Look at you! You're discharging heart-shaped ions!

I can't help but to come online and say that i'm brimming with heart-shaped ions again! It's such a happy feeling and i'm not surprised that he's made me feel that way again. I knew that every time i see him, the feelings would come rushing back. After all these years...

Light A Candle

Remember the good ol' days when the simple act of lighting coloured candles and walking around with paper and battery operated musical lanterns would make us the happiest people on earth?

Yesterday's la familia mooncake festival dinner was a chance for me to relive that moment. I've forgotten how something so simple can be so fulfilling. It's weird how less-satisfied we get with each year that passes by.



After a tummy-filling dinner of mojitos (me likey!), home-cooked nasi lemak and mooncakes, puddings, egg tarts and fruits for dessert, the kiddy fun began! Stocked with boxes of candles and bags of paper lanterns, we proceeded to decorate the street with bright wonders.

With the obligatory mooncake festival activity done, there was only one thing left to do: take a night stroll to burn off all the kilos gained. Now, ordinary acts like walking and the family don't go together. However, making funny faces and leaping like mad monkeys in the middle of an empty street are perfect matches.

After 15 minutes, all the burnt fat went to the dogs when the bright lights of 7-Eleven lured us into its junk-food haven. Aisles and aisles of unhealthy crap - who can resist?

Ah, another family gathering well spent!

An Eye Sore

It was rush hour. The train was packed. Then in came an elderly man and because all the seats were occupied, there was nothing he could do but to stand. As he held on to the pole, the much younger folks occupying the seats in front of him either 'slept' or looked elsewhere.

It was fucking disgusting.

Have they no compassion or respect for the elderly? Would they die if they offered their seat to a person who needed it more?

Then suddenly, a woman sitting nearby disembarked and i thought, 'Hey, maybe the guy standing in front of the vacant seat will offer it to the old man!'. And offered he did. But to another man on his left. One who didn't need the seat. I don't know if the guy was being ignorant or if he was simply racist. But i do know that he's one fucking a-hole.

Still standing quietly on the guy's right, all that the old man could do was wait for another vacant seat. And that is if none of the younger jerks beat him to it.

Finally, a man stood and gave up his seat to the patient old man. Ah, all hope's not lost. At least there is still a tiny glimpse of kindness in this world.

Didn't Mean To Disappoint



Piano tuner: Eh, your daughter grade 8 already ah?
Dad: Oh nolah, she stopped.

Hearing this short conversation made a cut in my heart. Though he never voiced his disappointment, i am sure he is at least a tad bit disappointed.

Sometimes i wished i didn't do what i did. I wished i didn't cause all that drama. I wished i was strong enough to put my parents' feelings before mine. But i was selfish.
