Day 339: 28th February 2010

The (eye)bags are showing. :( Le sigh the results of bad sleeping habits i.e.: going to bed at only 4am – 5am when I know very well I’ve to be up in a couple of hours.

Just like last night when I was wide awake with absolutely nothing to do. I mean, I could’ve slept but my eyes were like this lah O_O. So I blog hopped, I listened to my iTunes’ playlist of 302 songs twice, stalked almost everyone possible on Facebook and even succumbed to reading my past thesis journals wtf.

I was in so much distress (for having nothing to do haha slap me lah) that I decided to write an SOS email to someone whom I haven’t been keeping in touch with in the UK. And in just under a minute, he called and we were catching up over Skype! Haha, not the best way to cure my insomnia but what the heck. :p At the same time, I was chatting with another nocturnal, who unlike me HAD to stay up for work. Too bad though that by the time it was 5am, he kinda lost his “soundness”. :p

But really, in all seriousness, I gotta get my sleeping pattern back into shape. If not, ppl will probably mistaken my eyebags for saggy boobs instead. That time confirm will suicide de. -_-

Day 326: 15th February 2010

The day we make our way down to Kajang (Mum’s hometown).

It’s been my family’s tradition to head over to my uncle’s on the second day of cny for as far as I can remember. Every chor yi, we gobble down his homemade authentic Hainanese chicken rice. Preferably for lunch AND dinner. :) I’m such a fan of his cooking that I will never ever have chicken rice anywhere else (Malacca’s chicken rice balls are the only exception and that’s also because he’s Hainanese /cheh :p).

Owl City – Vanilla Twilight

The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere

‘Cause I’ll doze off safe and soundly
But I’ll miss your arms around me
I’d send a postcard to you, dear
‘Cause I wish you were here

I’ll watch the night turn light-blue
But it’s not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly

The silence isn’t so bad
‘Til I look at my hands and feel sad
‘Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly

I’ll find repose in new ways
Though I haven’t slept in two days
‘Cause cold nostalgia
Chills me to the bone

But drenched in vanilla twilight
I’ll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because
When I think of you I don’t feel so alone

I don’t feel so alone, I don’t feel so alone

As many times as I blink
I’ll think of you tonight
I’ll think of you tonight

When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I’ll taste the sky and feel alive again

And I’ll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won’t forget you
Oh, if my voice could reach
Back through the past
I’d whisper in your ear
Oh darling, I wish you were here

The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere

‘Cause I’ll doze off safe and soundly
But I’ll miss your arms around me
I’d send a postcard to you, dear
‘Cause I wish you were here

I’ll watch the night turn light-blue
But it’s not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly

The silence isn’t so bad
‘Til I look at my hands and feel sad
‘Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly

I’ll find repose in new ways
Though I haven’t slept in two days
‘Cause cold nostalgia
Chills me to the bone

But drenched in vanilla twilight
I’ll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because
When I think of you I don’t feel so alone

I don’t feel so alone, I don’t feel so alone

As many times as I blink
I’ll think of you tonight
I’ll think of you tonight

When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I’ll taste the sky and feel alive again

And I’ll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won’t forget you
Oh, if my voice could reach
Back through the past
I’d whisper in your ear
Oh darling, I wish you were here

Day 308: 28th January 2010

My first Project 365 featured here in 2010 after a long hiatus – Freaking awesome Malaccan Cendol.

A day trip to Malacca with good food and even better company.

Albeit the sun was blazing a little more than usual today, this nomz here hit the spot just right. :) Did the usual touristy thing eventhough some of us have seen the fort and churches over a dozen times. Of course, eating was part of our main agenda too lah. :) Oh and did I mention that I really like Malacca? Mainly because it’s so well kept. All the buildings are nicely painted and it’s good to see clean sidewalks and working amenities for a change. Looks like Malaysia does have hope after all.
