i just want to lie under my blanket, stare into space, embracing the beauty of every warm breathe i exhale and the excitement of silence.

long long week

been quite a week for me. from having monkeys as my bus-stop companions every other day, finding my sidlee CD in my mail (FINALLY!), to meeting the challenge of getting a birthday present for 9 year old twins who want something cool and crafty for their birthday.  not forgetting mailing my pal, sharon, her wayyyy-pass-belated gift due in january. fancy me penning her a note while seated at my work desk way past 6 in the evening the other day. of course, making something for most important love, shawn (added a photo that shawn took of his new cuppa).

its sunday, finally. a day to rest sleepy head in bed for a little longer was what what i am so hoping for..

my ingenious moments

i couldn't get any smarter by choosing to install softwares at this hour...

to photobooth

dear photobooth,

we shouldn't have mocked at you for being so lame and meaningless. as if only meant for narcissistic people. it seems like you have so much more to yourself; such as creating endless fun and rofls!

love,
d

liking every bit of it. looks like a pile of old film stock taken back in the 80s.

monday

my monday stinked. what about yours?

feeling thursday tonight

missing the scene

last night, shawn and i headed down to a local gig over at blackhole212 for a heck of a metalcore and hxc lineup. shawn is a major fan of hxc. i on the other hand am a major fan of metalcore and death metal. making this gig perfect for us to be at, without either one of us getting pissing-ly bored. its been ages since we have visited the scene, a scene with loads of friendly love to go around within fellow same-genre-music-lovers. a lot of body surfing, head banging, middle fingers and angry speeches. typical. feeling like a teen once again.



speaking about metalcore, nothing beats one of my favorite metalcore bands, light this city.  this is what i call power. \m/ they have came a long way to where they are now. fancy seeing them finally having an mtv video now. believe me when i tell you this, the vocalist is a she. laura nicol if im not wrong. all due respect to this lady since i was a teen, along with angela of arch enemy, otep of otep, and krysta of I wrestled a bear. you need to watch their live performances to know.


light this city live at Fresno, CA.



still my favorite ever from arch enemy. the whole band is bloody kickass. i mean can your drummer and guitarist play like that?


blood pigs, otep.

damn certain shawn is going to mock this post of mine.

lilia and shawn

this is lilia and shawn 3 years ago. always on the move and fidgetting about. 

this is lilia and shawn now. just sitting down and watching the world zoom by.

simply shows that we have grown.

family matters

ive been very troubled for the longest time by it. things just doesn't get any better when you have a demanding job in the creative line, which leaves you with barely any time left for anything else especially when tied up with work and tight schedules.

i believe family is the most important foundation to everything. so if you do have that marvelously strong foundation to support you through all the thick and thin in life, then treasure it and don't let it slip away. because there are people out there deprived of it.

so treasure your love ones around you. because that is something money can never buy you.

killkill's bag of random

a birthday present for a fellow friend, killkill who celebrated her birthday on wednesday. so shawn and i grabbed her a pack of random household knic knacks from ikea. together we drew up a random scene on her meant-to-be-wrapping-paper.

spotted the dude in genderchildren tee alr?

oh gosh

being mentally drained and out after running a handful of stuff simultaneously. and its only tuesday! a desperate cry for a holiday soon. i've been putting my eyes on a trip to melbourne with shawn to visit friends. but it might seem like a little tight on our budget if we fly off mid this year. hmm... suppose we'll settle for something less or something else.

sheesh, this weather is really killing me and my throat. x_x * crackles*

and sunday dinner at smok'inn frogz was yummy-licious! shrooms burger with plenty of cheese and fries flooding for a mere 12$. while a big dish of good ol' fish and chips was 12$. plus a basket of well buttered and garlic-ed(if there is such a word) toast for appetizer for 4$. all beyond the nicest things to say! the burger was juicy, the patty was juicy and done to perfection. the fish and chips were just fresh, crispy, and just aren't as oily as you might think it is. the ambient: just the kind i like, open air, bar bar black sheep just beside smok'inn frogz to serve you a wide variety of beer by the tap or by the bottle. purrrfect!

so if you're just around our hood, the upper area of bukit timah road do check out smok'inn frogz kitchen. makansutra's favorite phrase "die die must try!" definitely applies here.

animal heads

the things shawn and i do for self amusement.

magically hot hot march

jees, its getting hotter and hotter. record high temperature for singapore in a hundred odd years. thank god we here in this office get to dress like freaks. thank god we can get cluttered in singlets, (even eye friendly pjs) and slippers. because we can.

if dressing for work is a pain in the arse, trying to dress for this hot weather is worse. it means one less reason for a hoody/ sweater/ cardigan/cape. with one less reason for a hoody/ sweater/ cardigan/cape, it won't find me another good reason to get myself a hoody/ sweater/ cardigan/cape. and i love wearing hoodys, sweaters, cardigans and capes to work and to everywhere. this is so damn torturous. the government needs to build huge ass snow machines, or maybe huge ass fans everywhere. or they could just do some rain dance and pray for some nice old rain. not just any rain, the kind of rain that leaves this nice refreshing feeling with a hint of thin crispy chilly air that will linger through all day and night...

in the meantime, die in this heat. die.

i swear my colleagues will be wearing bathing suits to work soon.
