Its a brand new year and this blog here needs to have some fresh pictures! So expect this to post to be a pictorial post! Well randomization once again, I was just looking through some pictures on my phone and hand picked some really interesting ones that i feel, ought to be shared..

*Drum roll please!

PICTURE NO.1

Ariel the CLOWN

Yes one the the very significant events that transpired in the late 2009 was non other than Halloween! I came clad in a totally OFF clown-y costume that won me $40 capital land vouchers for a best dress competition! hurrah!:D

Heres a picture! Do not get freaked out! cos some girl in church did, and she teared! oh me sucha notty clown!:/ It is really I, ME, ARIEL. i know its too ugly to look like me, but i am glad no one could recognize me orelse, it really does say that i am tt ugly. anyway thankfully, no one knew... until they were told. I am a master of disguise! muahahhahahahah!

PICTURE NO.2

MY VERY HAPPY RAINBOW MOUSE!

Please forgive me, i know this is very passe/last season/so yesterday, but i cant help it but look at this beautiful man-made high tech gizmo and smileee. I mean who in the world could come up with something so beautiful and happy? I mean really! Pat, you rock la! anyway, you see that magnum thumbdrive at the side? yeah its not mine, and my mouse beats it hands down! Cuteness and happiness score 100000000%. I love constance for picking out this gift that i have always wanted :) muah muah!

PICTURE NO.3 (part A & B)

LOONEY CRAZY ACTS @ ORCHARD RD

Call me queer but I enjoy doing such crazy stuff with friends. Okay this picture you see here is actually SHAWNE. If u have me in facebook, the caption of this picture reads "

Thanks shawne for posing! U are such a sport despite the gawky stares and public mockery!" I really had fun tt day, and I thank God for such friends because they make me happy (: (: haha!

This is taihong, i dont know la he. This was totally random, and it did crack me up!! Seriously. Once again, i thank God for such crazy friends to spice up my life!:D I have more experiences, but not captured on camera, so sorry ah, bo pian another time ah! :D SEE SEE FUNNY ANOT YOU TELL MEEEEEEE!!! LOL!

PICTURE NO.4

ME AND FROZEN YOGURT TWICE THE SIZE OF THE CUP

Please before i start elaborating on this generous helping of frozen yogurt u see below, let me first introduce you the BRAND. This yogurt called YIGLOO yogurt. Whats so amazing abt this store( located at vivo city basement) is that you just choose your cup size (please guys pun unintended) then you go to this row of yogurt dispenser to dispense your own yogurt and put on as much toppings as you want, as long as it doesnt spill. So Ariel being Ariel..aka "KEK SIM" I twirled the yogurt to the corners of the cup, then i inserted all the fruits like blueberry, strawberries, kiwis all in the inner core which was empty. And TADA, there you have it a very nice and WORTH IT yogurt to savour! See thats a picture of me and my proud creation. I got alot of stares for coming up with sucha awesome creation :D

PICTURE NO. 5

NICOLE MY SWEET NIECE (ya lar I Aunty alr la)

Hi everyone, please meet Nicole. Nicole please meet bloghoppers. (: Dont you think she is sucha sweetheart? Okay, one amazing thing about her is that she thinks that i am really REALLY Ariel the Little Mermaid. She calls me Princess Ariel, Holds the door for me, carry my stuff while i shop, wait for me outside the changing room while i try on clothes, offers me a towel after i wash my hands etc. Gosh, really, i am truely amazed. Oh well, so should you want to be treated like a princess, call yourself ARIEL. hahahahahaha

Alright, 5 pictures in the row is more than enough for now! Anyway, to all, i QUIT my job. So happy Lorh! It is like i ORD-ed. hahahahhaha! (:

hi everyone!

Ariel is feeling emo right now. For what reason, I do not know. muahahaha! Stoopid hormones it must be! :( neah neah.

Well, so christmas dint feel like christmas to me. I dint manage to get the whole mood/cheery feeling where you just sit and have fun with friends. I dont know why my mind is constantly thinking and worrying abt my next step and all. I wish i could pacify myself with temporal therapy like shopping, but it aint working cos i have not much kachings.

Sighs, still got a few more cards to do for my happy people and then i m done with my christmas gifts. For those who dint receive any, please dont hate me but i would really love to give you just that really no money la. :(

At the end of the day, Christmas starts from the heart. once again, i let busyness get the better of me till i fail to celebrate and appreciate this special day.

I m sorry God. I love you. Help me love you more. :/

and ..Happy Birthday Jesus. :)

lastly, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
He is the reason for the season! :)

Ariel, please blogging at this very unearthly hour is just gonna cause your eyes to be more panda-like. oh like i care at this very moment. (sry for being so schnitzel here)

Its 2am and all is quiet, i start to think and reflect once again...

I realised that i am somehow moved when people give me gifts. These past few days i have been receiving gifts from all over. And i must say, for the first year ever, i have never been so happy with my gifts before. Never BEEN SO HAPPY. really.

Just recently, some of my cel group members gathered together to get me a pair of adidas sports shoes, which was so totally unexpected at such a timely moment. Hey, I have been running with a pair of worn and torn shoes, which has been haphazardly repaired with a red chicken rice rubber band that hold the soles together. yeah, how pathetic. I was seriously touched to the core of my heart! awww! seriously, using words to describe will do great injustice to my real feelings right now. haha. Of course and also the awfully sweet cute rainbow mouse that i received from my colleagues. Ahh, cant take it, just too happy with the gifts.

I have always thought that gifts will never pacify me, or make me feel loved cos they are perishable. I know that quality time and words were the love languages that i spoke and choose to receive, however, not so now... :( I think my love language have shifted somehow to more of gift giving which is totally very strange. Is this a symptom of materialism? gosh :/ what has society done to me!

Sometimes i am just so afraid that i will fall prey to materialism. I know how many people tell me that the moment you go out there and work, you will start to become very materialistic. And i really do shudder at that statement. I dont wanna be like that! I want to continue shopping at bugis street and china town! i dont want to have a list of GOODS that i have to buy after i get my pay. i want to be happy, simple. I mean, as of late, i do not have a shopping list on what to splurge, save or spend on. So thats a good sign. :)

Anyway, the year end is coming, so is christmas and i dont feel a least bit christmas-y at all, seriously. Strange, but true. I must learn to take things slow. I think this year God has been teaching me to take things slow. To know that it is okay to rest and enjoy life and the friendships i have. It is difficult, but i am getting there, i know (:

I have been too impatient for too long,

time to take a breather and live , love , laugh ((:

well, this post isnt too emo eh! Thats good!

So proud of my happy self ((:

There must have been a reason for me to start blogging again.

I would owe it very much to MUAH CHEE.

I was walking home today, and i saw bright lights and alot of hustle and bustle a distance away. As i walked towards the light, i started to see stripey red tents, BOOM. It was a pasa malam.

Then the monster in me took over and i bought MUAH CHEE. The moment that MUAH CHEE went into my mouth, memories started to flood in. I remembered how i used to make muah chee (and lots of it) when i was in primary 6. and how we made it to sell for our school fund raising. Sadly, it wasnt a big hit at all. sighs.But it was really fun. I wonder what we did to all of it in the end..hehheh. I dont know, but as a 12 year old, as confident i may look i know i had loads of insecutities, and constantly seeking to fill it was ... really tiring.

Muah cheemade me reflect or i would say, look back on how far i have come since those days. Like how i have changed to survive for the world out there. How i started to KNOW things, and to accept the fact that fairytales don't reside in this land of ours. How the people i met over the years, changed and mold me to be a better person. How i placed my securities in God and overcame them in the end. It was indeed a significant period of time, but because of my short lived memory, i unconsciously tugged those memories aside.

Now it is time to unravel those memories.

I am just amazed by how far i have come. And how much i have changed. It is like running a marathon, and you keep telling yourself to focus on the now, to keep gg on now, to not give up now, only to have reach the finishing line and to realise that you completed 8 clicks. I m not saying that life stops here for me, but its is just amazing on how when you look back and you realise the change in you, you find it hard to believe/perceive.

In the end, in life, change is a constant.
The determinant of a positive/negative outcome, is in the end, ourselves.

ayier so emo.
Tell you a joke la.

What did the snail say when it slid down the turtle's back?

Ans: WEEE!

ok bye. nights. (:

Hello there,again. (:

Its yet another monday and tuesday is just afew mins away, again. Time ticks by so quickly, it ticks you off somehow.

So.... hows life? or the most frequent question that many out there are fond of asking: How's life after SOT. (believe it or not, my dad was one of them who asked. weirrrrd. dont ask why, it just is)

What can i say, but life has quieten down quite a bit and i find myself to feel very alien to this sloooowwww pace of life. In all truth and honesty, i do enjoy the quiteness, but the lack of activity has caused me to think alot about myself. such thoughts that cloud my mind are normally thoughts like " am i productive in my life?", "am i making the most out of everyday?","am i ready for greater challenges in life?". Probably such thoughts are good but i tend to go overboard. Before i know it, I'll start to pass judgement on myself and i condemn myself for not being good enough and for not pushing myself more. Its terrible, because it kills my self esteem. Having no self esteem robs me of my joy. No joy equates to no life which is synonymous to being DEAD.

Guess it is in times like these that i have to put the word of God into action. hmmm...now that reminds me of what a church usher leader shared yesterday.

Its not about who you are, but who God is.
It's not about your abilities/talents but His power and greatness.
ultimately.."the battle is not yours, but Mine"~God

So ariel, do you trust God or yourself? (yes i talk to myself okay, be mused not)

My spirit picks the former, but soul picks the latter. :/
Good grief. :/

ahhhh, okay i sound very emo, but i am not, just in deep contemplation. Evalutating my thoughts as i blog em out.

ANYWAY, God is still good regardless what. (: Tml is gonna be a goood goood day!
Oh yeah, i am very pleased with myself for being packing my "trunk" of thingies!
lookie lookie...
so NEAT it just brings delight!

okay while i am at it, heres me blackmailing my brother. Now we see who is manhandling who...

and he's having a good time......while doing so.

Like what bugs bunny always like to say at the end of every cartoon..
"THATS ALL FOLKS!"
