I decided to ditch the Prom shopping plans, for a day out with Gloria instead.. Which turned out great! It's so beautiful out, and the weather was perfect. From the talks to the laughter, and the mini photo session, I couldn't ask for a better day. Thanks gloria ! ♥
Lyrical
Slow down, Lie down,
Remember it's just you and me.
Don't sell out, bow out,
Remember how this used to be.
I just want you closer,
Is that alright?
Baby let's get closer tonight
If only you made my heart feel safe
Only time will tell..?

I honestly give up. (Kim you know what I'm talking about) I'm so sick of this ongoing cycle that leads to nowhere. As of now, I'm officially done with this till something good comes out of it. Enough of the mind games. On another note, I'm almost done. Almost there. In approximately a week and a half, I will be out of what we call, high school. 5 years has passed.. Amazing how time flies eh? Didn't seem too long ago that we wrote those self-written letters to ourselves.. And had it kept in a safe place only to have it read 5 years later. I don't remember what I wrote to be honest. Probably something about who my friends were at that time, what I was into, and maybe snuck in a couple secrets. Who knows, maybe if I find the letter amusing enough, I just might post it up on this blog. Get ready for a laugh. It was probably stupid, and very much what you'd hear from a 13 year old at that time. Grad year is almost coming to an end, and truthfully, it scares me. I can't believe Prom is next week, and I'm not even ready for it. It's funny though, how the hype just died down for everyone when prom draws to a close. Back to why it scares me.. Well, I know what I want to do, and where I'd like to go in life.. But I'm not in my safe haven anymore. High school was our safety net. We are so spoiled, and pampered by our teachers, and our peers. Sure, hard work and self-discipline comes into play, but when it comes down to it, we're still very much babies. I'm excited though, to see what the future holds for me, and where I will go in life. Maybe 10 years from now, I'll be a successful photographer, or I'll be working in the fashion industry.. or.. happily married, living life in the fast lane. Tai Tai? Haha I wish. With all these emotions at hand, being sad would also be on the list. It'll be a huge change, losing some friends, and gaining some more along the way, and a change of environment as well. My girls, this last year has truly been one of the best because of you girls. Thanks for making school and lunch hours fun, and the not so PG-13 jokes. Haha. Even though there's drama every now and then, we're always still down for each other. & the guys, need I say more? I guess I can say.. even with everything that's been going on, the good and the bad, I still truly feel blessed. I have faith that God will always be there for me, regardless. And not to mention my church friends, I can't thank you guys enough. Thanks for always being there. Whether it's the 2AM chats, photo shoots, or catching up over coffee, it's always been a good time. Mad love for you guys ! & Martin, so maybe you are right about this year being a great one. I mean.. so far, it's been somewhat smooth sailing.
Not your typical dress, but it works
Prom Perfect? Close to it. So today was the day that I spent dress shopping. What can I say, it went not as terribly as I thought it would. It did however.. take hours and hours of trying on different dresses before I found the Marciano Riona Flutter Dress. It's gorgeous! Maybe not so much in the picture below, but I love it nonetheless. Might change the heels however though. Yes, it's not the typical " Prom " look, but I wasn't going to settle for typical anyways. Still hunting for accessories and the clutch. Thanks Elle for coming along with me, and my aunt for her membership cards that got me the discounts! ♥ Who knew shopping could be so stressing? And not to mention I broke my sandals while shopping, and had to buy old navy's $3 flip flops so I could walk ...GG.

"As we grow up we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to
ever let you down, probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more
than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how
it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame
a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too
fast and you'll eventually lose someone you love.... So take too many pictures,
laugh too loud, and love like you've never been hurt --- because every sixty
seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back."

Singapore
Home is where the ♥ is ?
I miss..
I miss..
rainy days in Singapore, when it'd be pouring like crazy.. and I'm indoors, sitting at TCC or up at Dempsey on my laptop. Raandom but yeah. I truly do miss being back there. I have no idea why this has been back and forth on my mind constantly.. but it has been. I guess when it really comes down to it, I just can't seem to settle. Singapore vs. Canada. I can't seem to make up my mind. However, lately.. everything just keeps reminding me of Singapore. (it's hard for me to call either one home, cause' I was practically raised half there, and half here.) Every little thing, and it drives me craazy at times. Moving back was always an option for me. I've never once thought of giving up my citizenship. But as of now.. I'm at a standstill. I'll be graduating in June, and will be going to fashion/beauty school soon after. But I don't know where I will go after that. Sure I'll have at least another year, or so.. and anything can change within a year.. I've been praying about it for quite sometime, and will continue to do so. God, please give me a sign !! Lol. There's so many things/occasions that have happened, that I wished I would've been there for. Not being there for my nephew's 1st birthday, not being there for my mama's 80th birthday. Not being there for my uncle's funeral... not being there for my cousin's wedding. So many things.. Ultimately, I'll have to see how things go.. and hope that it'll turn out well.
