R, even though I'll get to see you in UK - I'll still miss you as I won't be leaving Brunei until the end of September. Thank you for keeping up with my antics over the summer. Spending too much time with each other sure explains our erratic behaviour. Haha. We sure are two aberrant twins, *cough* , I mean sisters :P
ps// Your note made my ambivalent feelings about you going off slowly fade away. I love you too :)

On 19/08/08, I finally discovered what makes me tick. All the hard effort and endless nights of bewilderment. That was all worth it.
MY life is good, no wait, it's great!

HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY to the gorgeous Miss Goh Poh Hui!
You're now officially LEGAL everywhere. So, when are we going to Vegas? Don't feel old though as you are clearly not the first one in our group to turn 21 :) Haha. Chocolate, please dont kill me! - You know who you are :DHui, I meant everything I wrote in the card. Walking down memory lane, I can recall the times spent at your place laughing about guys, getting misty over sappy movies and making some sense of this crazy world! This may all sound boring but that's what great friends do.I hope you had a great night with us and that you liked all the presents you got. I am anxiously anticipating the day I will see you in your bikini. Hehehe.

I'm so chuffed that A.Rod won and is through to the finals of Wimbledon! It was such an epic match. After just under 3 hours (I think), Roddick won 6-4 4-6 7-6 7-6. I have to say that I had my doubts at the beginning as Murray has stepped up his game but Roddick sure proved me wrong. Oh, the sweet taste of victory! I can imagine all the overflowing emotions as he fell to his knees and leaned forward to cover his head after winning the match.
This means another Roddick vs Fed final. Roddick's played Federer in the finals of Wimbledon in 04 & 05 and lost both times. In addition to that, Federer owns a lopsided 18-2 head to head record against Roddick. Then again, Andy's playing the best tennis he's played in a very long time. Let's hope it's third time lucky for my hero!
On another note, most of the UR's are back home already. Shouldn't you guys be updating? Haha. Jances told me the other day that Jingo has decided to quarantine himself. Jingggg, upload the Croatia pictures. We need more colour!

Love Paris's disneyland, Rome's architecture and love milan because my nanny was there. =D got to meet up with my nanny. Miss her so much. She took care of me and my sis since we were babies. Well, she worked for my dad even before i was born. lol. she looked after us for 13 years. We been through a lot. she was not only a maid but also a mother to me. Basically, I have to thank her.. For bringing me up.. For teaching me wats wrong and whats right. For who I am right now. =) She cooked for us when we were in Milan. God, her cooking is sitll the same~! hahaha when we were kids, i remember that we wouldnt eat unless it was her cooking. LOL. yea, she really is like a mom to me.. =P Cant post any nice pictures =( because my yiyi's boyfriend lost his camera. Sighs. I have other pictures but they arent as nice as the pictures we took using my yiyi's boyfriend nice huge professional camera. haahah =( sighs. All the hardwork gone - getting nice angles with eiffel tower, chasing mickey mouse and the rest of the gang.. hahah. Yes, i really am a big kid when i was in disneyland. i went OOOOO the princesses!!! WINNIE THE POOHH!!!! OMG! hahhahahahahahahhahahahhaa *embarassed* but the parade was the best. haha i love the rides too. =P yea ok ok enough abt Paris.Next destination was rome. Rome was awesome. I love the cathedral. I love the architecture. It makes me wonder...... It really does make me wonder.. How did they come up with all those.. It jsut amazes me. =PMilan.. Yea, talked abt it. the best part was meeting up with my nanny. Havent seen her for seven years. and.. lol, it was such an emotional encounter. haha Things were too exp there. so i didnt enjoy shopping. didnt even do much shopping.*sighs* though it was fun, it was stressful at the same time. Oh, we met this chinese (from China), who made us buy LV for her, so she can bring to china and make the fake copies. LOL. i didnt know till the end. when my aunt told me. hahah =P she was really greedy. and cornered my mom to help her. Goodness. hahaha it was.. kinda a scary experience. i think its illegal to buy for her. apparently there is a limit for people who hold china passports. haha well, thats what she said. haha but anyway, my yiyis were scared lah. they were like "DONT BUY ANYMORE. what if we get caught" .. and she really trusted us with her cash. we could have run. without her knowing. She gave us like thousands of euro. hahaha.. but yea.. she was really desperate. hahaha oh well..i really didnt know it work that way. u have to get the real one to make the fake one. cant they just see the pictures? Sighs. but anyway, because of these fake ones, whenever u see someone holding LV, u will think "issit fake or issit real?" eventhough that person spent thousands of dollars to buy it. tsk tsk. no comments. hahabut honestlyy, why people are willing to spend thousands on LV? i know they are of good quality, but but..they just cost too much.. i bet i will be one of the them in the future. i wont deny. =P hahahahok, anyway running out of things to blog. I just feel bad, seeing ming hui posted so many. And i havent done anything. hahaha~ good job in keeping this blog alive ming hui =D. eventhough it was on A.Rod. HAHAH =P hope to see you guys in brunei. we gotta hang out as usual. =P karaoke. steamboat. just plan something =P oh btw.. did i mention that i passed all my exams? SO HAPPY TO KNOW THAT. oh, i didnt rant about my exams, but there were loads of things to rant. haha Jances lucky lah. no exams. but anyway, glad its over and i am satisfied with my results. No complaints =D hahah and I like the layout btw. =D...you know how much i miss you..~

Too many emotions.For this one little heart.Too many finish lines,
No place to start.
The anger overloads,
The confusion sets in.
The pain smothers me
And the frustration blinds me.
Which will reach me first?
To break the barrier
In which sanity has silently slept.
And which will slowly kill me?As love and hate battle
Through angels and devils,And right and wrong.
And where can I turn for a savior?- Erin B
