wedding bells pealing

the days are passing in a flash. unfortunately, its already the second week of february and i'm gearing up and cleaning up to move house ! already all my housemates have left and if it wasn't for wilson methinks my life will be rather depressing.
this year, however, marks very different going ons in my life - not like any other i've ever had.

1. my sis got married, woot woot ! and to the most awesome guy imaginable so i'm fairly ecstatic at this time.

siblings

wedding cuppacakes!

the garden wedding

my very gorgeous sister, or should i say, mrs. lian.

sister and her bestie scattering rose petals on the red carpet

the nervous bridegroom awaiting his bride

my dad walking my sister down the aisle

exchanging of rings

you may kiss the bride
*awww*melts*

needless to say, this was an awesome awesome ceremony. too see these two ppl whom waited so many years for each other finally tie the knot is truly one of the best moments of my life.

congratulations chie, me loves !

anyway, onward with my countdown.
2. i'm moving in with my bro ! even though it's kinda of on the other side of the world, life's life and i'm happy i'm moving in with my bro.
3. i *might* be getting to be the owner of a 2002 mazda protege, pending loan approval. but regardless, i'm very proud to have put the downpayment on my car AND that i actually AM buying the car on my own steam. so what if its second hand, the car is in inpeccable condition and its lovely ! green's not my favourite colour but hey, its an awesomeeeee car.
and i need a car when living with my bro.

now only to pray my loan request gets approved. more on that in a while however (;

more photos soon to come when i've more time ! heading off to tiesto soonish so i need to clean up my room somewhat and do my usual sunday routine. ie. clean house, do laundry, iron, etc. etc :(

and, if my loan approval gets through, a photo of my *hopefully* car too !

may the force be with mazda proteges and loan agents,
cheers~

of mortarboards and my graduation

hmm, there's so much to blog about i don't know where to start.
and since its almost impossible to catch up on everything i've been up to lately, i'll just give a few brief updates and of course, upload some photos from the most important that has happened to me recently and has been caught on camera - my graduation.

so, my parents were here for a brief two weeks and my sister, the week before in which time we've celebrated my sister's birthday, my parents being here, me getting a job, my bro's birthday and lynn's birthday at werribee zoo. and how can i not mention christmas?

its almost the end of 2009 and i can safely say, when i reflect upon this year and its ups and downs its been full of awesomeness and lady luck smiling down on me.
cosmic something, as weng khong told me last time i dont' remember what he said perse. lol.

so the year started out a bit rough but it ended fantastic - i graduated on time, got my PR in the speediest time imaginable and got a great job on my first interview. life has been so smooth sailling lately and there is really nothing i'd like to change about this year. the whole rough patch in the beginning made me realise that really, i can do anything on my own and that i have awesome friends who are always are there for me. life really isn't as i expected it to be when i made my new year resolutions last year but that's ok.. it was unimaginable but a better one than i hoped for.

so what does 2010 hold for me ? i'm not sure but its a new chapter of my life and i'm prepared to face it =)

anyway, enough with my nattering on about this and that and blah blah. onward to photos!

may the force be with awesome years and fantastic new chapters,
cheers~

according to you

just attended teri's prewedding cocktail night yesterday at blue diamond. so happy for her and robbie, and it was an awesome cocktail night. free flow of drinks and finger food (which included oysters and stuff, yum yum)

been busy working cookies, amma climbing up the cookie ladder, lol.

aside from that, my new favourite song by orianthi. super awesome, super catchy. lyrics listed below with a video (;

According to you
I'm stupid,
I'm useless,
I can't do anything right.
According to you
I'm difficult,
hard to please,
forever changing my mind.
I'm a mess in a dress,
can't show up on time,
even if it would save my life.
According to you. According to you.

But according to him
I'm beautiful,
incredible,
he can't get me out of his head.
According to him
I'm funny,
irresistible,
everything he ever wanted.
Everything is opposite,
I don't feel like stopping it,
so baby tell me what I got to lose.
He's into me for everything I'm not,
according to you.

According to you
I'm boring,
I'm moody,
you can't take me any place.
According to you
I suck at telling jokes cause I always give it away.
I'm the girl with the worst attention span;
you're the boy who puts up with that.
According to you. According to you.

But according to him
I'm beautiful,
incredible,
he can't get me out of his head.
According to him
I'm funny,
irresistible,
everything he ever wanted.
Everything is opposite,
I don't feel like stopping it,
so baby tell me what I got to lose.
He's into me for everything I'm not,
according to you.

I need to feel appreciated,
like I'm not hated. oh-- no--.
Why can't you see me through his eyes?
It's too bad you're making me decide.

According to me
you're stupid,
you're useless,
you can't do anything right.
But according to him
I'm beautiful,
incredible,
he can't get me out of his head.
According to him
I'm funny,
irresistible,
everything he ever wanted.
Everything is opposite,
I don't feel like stopping it,
baby tell me what I got to lose.
He's into me for everything I'm not,
According to you.
According to you.

According to you
I'm stupid,
I'm useless,
I can't do anything right.

may the force be with tired cookie sellers,
