Shirley Chan

Exam Fever!

2011-01-09T23:18:12Z

But they're just mocks! So stop panicking.
CHILLAX!

Haha! I heart this comic strip.

I bet most would rather write papers than to study for exams.

Ready for the exams?
Let's say, "Bring it on!"
:p

As for now, adieus.
Nitey nite.

New Year = New Beginnings

2011-01-09T23:06:39Z

Happy 2011 peepos! :)

My first new year away from home.

Watched Big Ben on TV striked 12am with my friends.
For the first 12 secs of 2011, I ate 12 grapes. And for every grape, I could make a wish.
I like this tradition,
and from this year onwards, it'll be mine too.

Have yourself a delirious 2011!
KissKiss.

It's "Merry Kiss-mas" time!

2010-12-19T22:21:00Z

It's ShirShir's favourite time of the year! :)

and to sing her favourite slutty Christmas song

And this year, Santa decides to give Rudolph a break and is riding in his Harley Davidson to deliver the pressies :p

I'm having the time of my life.
Celebrating Christmas with everything around covered in white snow and feeling the cold.
This is what I call Christmas.
And this is what I've always wanted since a little girl.

Not forgetting the Mistletoe tree. :)

Muaaaaaackz!

Dreams and Nightmares

2010-11-18T14:44:09Z

The love-hate relationship I have with sleep nowadays.

Back home I hardly ever dreamt in the entire year! And I remember telling my friend sometime back I envied her interesting nights.

BUT!!! I was envious of sweet dreams, NOT NIGHTMARES. :(

Nightmares bring fear and I abhor them!

In a short span of 2 months, i think I have had 4-5 nightmares already. It's all too frequent here, and they were scary.
Yes I said I think coz I could hardly remember what the nightmares were, except one which was a massacre. Hahahaaaa... I account that to the movie Kick Ass which I'd watched before hitting the sack that night. The rest?! I've no freaking idea. I will just have this frightened feeling inside when I awoke abruptly. Furthermore, it didn't help finding myself alone in my all-so-quiet room. :(

Geez! Why do people dream? And where the hell nightmares come from? In reality, this scary stuff will NEVER happen, presumably.

Wonders whether Aurora had dreams, or even nightmares when she was sleeping. Reckoned she didn't have the latter, otherwise she wouldn't need her prince to kiss her up. Hahahaaa... How lucky.

Aurora looking peaceful while she awaits her prince to wake her up from her ~~nightmares~~ dreams.

Boo! Not fair!

Who's that Bookworm?

2010-11-09T14:39:34Z

Presenting to you, ShirShir the Bookworm.

♥♥♥

I've checked, we'd been submitting papers after papers,
and more papers to write and submit for the
next few weeks ahead.

ShirShir the Bookworm's 2nd month in Glasgow has been busily fruitful in all aspects.

Trick-or-Treat

2010-10-31T12:52:44Z

Trick-or-Treat
Smell my Feet
&
Give me something Good to Eat
'else
I'll turn You into my
Slave
with the Trident of Mine

Muhahahahahahahahahahahaaaaa

What should I do?

2010-10-25T06:50:45Z

I'm so confused right now. Confused with things in my life, Confused why I continue with all this strife. Things happened and they don't make sense, I just wish I could be normal so things weren't always so immense.

I need to know what to do next.
Should I continue?

Confused, Scared and I can only keep silent.

"Dear God
Please make things work in the situation that I want them to be.
Thank u."

09 Oct 2009 - A date I'll never forget

2010-10-09T11:57:30Z

As I am typing this entry, it prolly might have been the time (Singapore time now 7:20pm) that 'it' happened last year - 09.10.09. Nice number isn't it? Glad it was such a date. :)

How will I ever forget? It was something special to me. :)
Will You remember? Maybe not.

But it doesn't matter.

Been there, done that.
Attraction, Happiness, Afraid, Guilt, Hatred, Cool off, Refrainment, Thinking, Change, Liking, Enjoyment, Laughter and yada yada yada filled up this one year.
And now I've another word to add on, Grateful.

Thank you for You.

Would have been better if I spent it in Singapore?
I dunno. But what I do know is no matter where I am I'll be emotional on this very day.

Perhaps celebrating this '1 year anniversary' on my own in a foreign country works out awesome; as this day truly is special only to ME. :)

♥ "Happy 1 year Anniversary Shirley Chan" ♥

Oh yeah, and coincidentally today marks a month I've been away.
How time flew past juz like finger snaps...

Too many, Too little

2010-08-24T16:27:15Z

Crunch time!!!
Countdown: 16 DAYS!

So many meetups aren't gonna do me any good, isn't it?
I will definitely feel the drastic difference over there on the first week,
or at least the first couple of days.
Cold and Alone. Geez!

I ♥ You,
all my sincere FRIENDS!
MUUAAACCCKZ

Too many, too little time.

And I am compromising those I really wanna meet away from those not really much.
I am so mean.
Perhaps the date could have been another day? :p
Y clash?!

At this sort of time, I really wished I can be at 2 places concurrently.
Greedy me.

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
I REALLY WANNA MEET YOU YOU YOU &
U

$ Very Inspired $

2010-08-10T18:17:11Z

Who doesn't?

Money, I luv you.

Materialistic or of such sort is not me.
Just very impressed with a banker I met in the afternoon.
He made me wanna see my account grow even more.

He's only a decent 26 years but already an Assistant Manager.
A guy with calibre.
Impressive.

Shared with me insights to investment and banking related stuff.
Without a doubt he is worthy of his title.
Such intelligence and knowledge.

I must be like him,
FOCUS.
How very attractive one can be just like that.
*snap fingers*

AhHa! He is a fan of Bottega Veneta too.
Yay! :)

To dare myself, I must.

2010-08-07T18:27:19Z

So TRUE!
I can't agree more. :)

I dare myself to take the risk
&
WOW myself I must.

Love this too.

So
allow me to garner all the
COURAGE
in this world
to do what I always daren't do.

Coz
keeping in silence
I don't want
&
then living to regret
I can't.

May the forces be with me.

Do you still remember...

2010-08-01T16:49:32Z

August 1st. :(

Didn't feel good the whole day. Started feeling sad since morning with no apparent reason.
Why?

Maybe not.
Blame it on those photos I saw which left me feeling desolate. :(

When you thought those friends would grow old with you turned out prolly not, wouldn't your heart sink?
Mine did.
And it must have followed Titanic.

That part of my heart should have been long dead (not dead dead per se) or gotten used to it.
But why is it that everytime I see those pics, they would affect me?

This shows I truly cherish their friendship.
But they didn't, obviously.

I asked myself, is it coz they didn't think I care or couldn't be bothered?
Prolly yes.
Blame it on the part of me which usually keeps my emotions to self.

It's not too late, how about contacting them now?
I can't.
Many reasons and due to my current circumstance.
Damn my pride too.

I should start learning to show those dearest to me that I care.
But not to them anymore since they left me out time and time again?

I thought we were good pals since our teens.
So our friendship couldn't withstand the test of time.

I'm always ever-ready to lend my shoulder, a listening ear and to cry &/or laugh with you.
Thinking of those happy times spent together in school never fail to bring a smile to my face.
Have you gals forgotten all about them?
I hope not.
Coz those times were one of my happiest years in life,
and I'm very contented u gals were a part of it.

And to ALL my friends out there,
I CARE FOR EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU.
Don't because you think I have lots of friends, you ain't important ok.
YOU ARE!!!

So I don't wish to hear another saying,
"You have so many friends, I don't think you'll have time for me."
"You'll never feel lonely since you have lots of friends."
"I feel I am disturbing you coz you have so many friends."

NO NO NO! NEVER!
If you neglect me, I will feel more hurt.
Many friends ≠ Crime.
Please don't 'sentence me to death' before the hearing.

My mood plunges to 'hell' and very very much affected with this kinda issue.
Please don't attack my Achilles' heel (friendship stuff).
Thank you very much.

We made this promise. Do you still remember?

Skins is ♥

2010-07-29T17:43:28Z

Skins is fantastic but hate the ending in Season 4. :(
Coz Freddie dies for Effy, in a way. :( :( :(
Mad heart FREDDIE!

She is so skinny!

Freddie! Darn cute, isn't he? :)

Hopefully I can catch other seasons when I'm there in UK.

The worry of a Tropical gal...

2010-07-26T15:35:01Z

Just did a search, and the average temperature of Glasgow for the whole year ranges from -11°C to 22°C. OMG!!!! -11°C?! I'm already feeling cold reading the number. :(

Must prepare all the stuff to fight the 'freeze'.

Yes, indeed!!! I need to do some serious shopping in the month of August. And start packing my luggage (though no news of the God-knows-what-happened Visa).

Many friends whom know me well knows I rather feel hot than cold. What to do? I'm a Tropical gal! Equatorial Singapore is nothing but Summer. Ha! 24/7 of summer-ing; even if She rains cats and dogs, it is still HUMID!

I need to change from wearing spaghetti straps, tubes, halters, sleeveless tops, mini skirts and shorts to 'cover-ups'. :p

Ookies, let's start the learning session. :)

Pretty? Not too bad.
Not that difficult to learn, guess I can make it there.

Yepyep. Belt it up else you'll lose your waistline. :)

But this oversized trench/jacket looks so so comfy.

Wooo... I ♥ H&M. Check these out.

Can students dress like that in the University? Hahahaaaa....

I am so crazy! I went to find out the shopping areas near my University in Glasgow.
I WANNA SHOUT OUT LOUD!!!! I KNOW WHERE THE H&M MALL IS AT!!!! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA...

Oh no, I think I might spend all my money on clothes and not care about my meals. And when it is time to return to Singapore, I will have more than 2 luggages (maybe 5?). Guaguaguagua....
Better practice self-disclipine. *fingers crossed*

Friends, I need advice and recommendation to where I should shop for winter wear (cheap and good) in Singapore.
If you could also pen down what I need and other miscellanous, please do so. Ha! I don't mind freebies too. ;)
Appreciate. :D

Afraid of uncertainty

2010-07-18T17:16:56Z

I don't know what I want anymore.
I don't know what I'm thinking anymore.
I don't know what I'm feeling anymore.

I don't know how should I react.
I don't know what should I do.

Sometimes things just can't fall into places like how we wished they could be.
We can't control who like, adore or even hate us.
We can't force the person we like, wished we could love, or even hoping he/she could be a step closer to us,
to think the same way too.

Just can't force love, can we?

No wonder it is called

'The One'.

Am I feeling this way coz I'm leaving soon?

Out of Reach

2010-06-28T17:28:33Z

I've yet again neglected my blog.

I was away for ~2 weeks. A good reason why I didn't blog besides being plain lazy hokays.
Went on a vacation to Taipei. :)

Other photos are in my facebook albums. Go there to view my holiday.

I'm back but I wanna get out again. I think I'm ADDICTED!!!
There are so so so many places, just so many places I wanna visit.

I wanna go either:

Bali
Bintan
Langkawii
Phuket
or even Sentosa will do

Yes, a short getaway from Red Dot. Yes, even Sentosa. I just need a beach resort. A time to chillax and have fun with friend(s).
I even thought of getting a room at Marina Bay Sands. Much more after Kevin (a UK national residing in HK but much more informative about Singapore than me! Boo!) sounded me out that there is a skyline swimming pool up on the roof (beside the 1/2 week old sky garden). I WANNA SWIM THERE!!! ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....

Check this out:

Tell me who isn't tempted?! I AM ABSOLUTELY!

Basking in the Arts

2010-05-30T17:58:17Z

Little things in life makes me appreciate and enjoy each day living...

Chanced upon this Japanese group (Sushi TapDo) performance on a Saturday night at Esplande's outdoor stage. :)

Their speciality is Tap dance but their performance is not mediocre at all. Not only do they tap dance, they added theatre works too, and their show have a tinge of humour. I especially like the Jap guy. He is so cute and funnie! Hahhaaaa...

Here is a video clip of one of their snippets I managed to record. (Note: The pink Japanese 'girl' with the red bag is actually that cute and funnie Jap guy. ;) )

More photos of them during the show:

I may look like those sorts whom know nuts about Arts and Music, but to tell you the truth, I enjoy and matter of fact luv them.

There is something in me, my arty farty genes will react out of the blue. What to do, I took Violin lessons at Primary 3 and learnt up to Grade 5, though I reckoned I am not much a string instrument person. Hated the violin scales last time to the core! It was living hell when I had test on scales. Boo!

I definitely prefer the flute. I aced the Chinese flute when I was in SAC. Yeah yeah yeah, I was in Chinese Orchestra, so what?! I luv those times in CO and am proud to say CO was my CCA. I'm very diversify alrite! Hahahhaaaa...

4 years of blowing the flute. I am definitely a better blower than a stringer.
Haiz.... I missed those days... :(

Infidelity

2010-05-13T21:21:09Z

Quoted from Thorsten,
"I don't tolerate infidelity.
If you feel the need to cheat then clearly there's something wrong, the love isn't there."

I agree.

So clearly, my man can't afford to cheat behind the sly, and / or I do not need a man that would cheat behind his gf.
Like WTH! Don't come and disturb calm waters alritey! Boo!
Moreover, what makes you think I would'nt feel you might cheat on me as well when we're together?
It's a definitive insecurity, mind you.

And seriously, if you can cheat behind someone u claim that you love or you're involved with, then I hereby 'request' you to re-evaluate your 'so-called-love' for this person.
Hit right into your bloody head, THE LOVE ISN'T THERE ANYMORE!

Be a man / be a lovable lady, MOVE ON....
Don't cheat on him / her, be honest for goodness sake. Your 'partner' might thank you for initiating the breakup.

I may sound rather cold here. Hahahaaaa... But I'm definitely one-heck-of-love dumbo.

Immersing in non-existance

2010-05-02T17:26:29Z

Yes Yes Yes... I've been revelling about this drama series. Hahahahahaa...

All thanks to Channel U again. I couldn't wait for it to broadcast every weekday for only an hour, so went onto Youtube to watch a few episodes ahead. Hehe...

The link below should be one of the classics! At least the part that I watched thus far that is EXTREMELY SWEET. Ha!
HIS CONFESSION TO HER :D

(敗犬女王经典台词)
Classic line I ♥:
"我没有名车，但我有机车，每次载你的时候，我都会感觉到你从背后抱住我那种温暖的感觉…
八岁的差距，我们可以一起弥补，你可以为了我继续穿迷你裙，我可以为了你穿西装打领带，我们可以一起看你爱看的外国电影，你可以陪我一起看我爱看的热血漫画，只要我们在一起就都OK啦，如果累了没车，我可以背你回家，如果你心情不好，我可以陪你上天台看星星，没有金钱堆砌的恋爱也不见得不浪漫啊，这样因为感觉单纯的在一起，难道不可以吗？"
Super luv the part on mini-skirt and star-gazing lar! Ha!

Really wonders how on Earth do all these Taiwanese scriptwriters have; mushy yet heart-throbbing confession lines.
Who wouldn't melt? I will hokays! :)

"谈恋爱如果只剩下条件的话，不是很悲惨吗？条件能让你快乐吗，还是条件能让你幸福？
当你靠近一个人，那种心跳加速，害羞的感觉你还有吗？我有！"
Racing heartbeats and shyness in front of the person you have feelings for. :) I also want!

This is so very very true, "爱要及时，没有如果。"
Sometimes it's either we met the person too late or the time is not right. Fate sometimes really fool us Humans.
We've just got to wait for the perfect moment, isn't it?

One big time JERK!

2010-04-26T17:34:26Z

It started with these photos that kicked up all the fuss...

You'll be thinking how would the photos bring trouble right? Just a normal 'in-love' couple taking daily photos together (how very sweet).
This 2 photos do not say more. Not until some idiot commented more about his ex-gf to the media (which is like the whole mandarin entertainment industry).

In case you do not know who they are, they are Celebrities from Taiwan (sweetiepie: Cyndi Wang 王心凌) and China (beast: Fan Zhi Wei 范植偉).

Apparently this big time jerk 爆料 (gave juicy insights) in an interview about his past r/s with Wang.
He got so dumb as to fall into the trap of the media when he is such a veteran already?
NO WAY! WHAT CRAP, I DON'T BUY HIS AFTER STORY ABOUT THIS HOOHA! ABSOUTELY NOT, DONKEY-ARSE!!!

Media asked him what are the reasons to the splitting of them.
He answered,
1) "She lied to me she was 17 when at that time she was 19 years old. I myself thought how could she be 17 too." (So ya really dumbo lor!)
2) "I was utterly disappointed and angry that her first time wasn't given to me." (As if your first was given to her! Pui Pui Pui!)

WTH!!!! He is definitely a piece of shit! Utterly despicable, ~~low~~ underground class and lowgrade!! Doesn't he know that reputation to a girl is very very, no, EXTREMELY important? And hello, what era already?!
What's the point of saying all this when it had ended God-knows how many years!

Click on this to read from CNA's news about this issue.
Cyndi Wang's post how she felt. (It's in mandarin thou. Read link above on CNA translated version on some of her responses.)

Poor Wang. I pity her max.
I seriously do not know what he gains by saying all this nonsense, except free publicity from riding on Wang's popularity.
Oh I know what he gains. He gained all the HATRED from the massive crowd, especially from us girls and guys with brains-&-hearts.

SHIT YOU FAN ZHI WEI! Stop hurting Wang whom had loved u with all her heart then and now still protecting / defending you.
GET ALIVE AND MOVE ON, she has... Just leave her alone!

What a nightmare past relationship.
Truly BAD ROMANCE!

Just LOVE

愛就對了

總是要流一些滾燙熱淚
才能換來對愛的體會
妳看　世界沒有毀滅　心也沒有碎
其他的就交給時間解決

妳當然可以重新再愛
受過傷的更懂怎樣愛與被愛
所以　別再沉溺有他的回憶
有空再回憶　離開妳的只有他但是愛還在

＊聽我說　愛是對的　錯的是我們
　還沒學會愛　就急著愛人　而愛錯人
　可是　愛就對了　遇到下一個
　愛上就愛了　痛苦或快樂　都是獲得
　oh~oh~

我當然經歷過妳現在的感受
我想那是人必經的折磨　yeh~
也許　每個人都該是某個人　成長的助手
受一點苦痛幫助他成熟
Repeat ＊

別探聽他的線索　別等待他會回頭
愛~不喜歡看人軟弱
別繼續把心封鎖　別躲在傷心裡頭
愛~萬一來了別錯過

愛是對的　錯的是我們
還沒學會愛　就急著愛人　而愛錯人
可是　愛就對了　遇到下一個
愛上就愛了　痛苦或快樂　都是獲得 Oh~

＃聽我說　愛是對的　錯的是別人
　自以為懂愛　才會又愛人　又傷害人
　可是　愛就對了　愛了就值得
　愛這份功課　艱深但快樂　愛就對了 Oh~

Repeat ＃

愛來了別錯過

Don't be afraid. Just LOVE.

Pretty

2010-04-19T17:25:15Z

Why didn't I find her pretty last time?

Managed to figure out who she is already?
Ookies, one more collage for you.

Yes! She is none other than ~~Sarawak~~ Langkawi beauty Jesseca Liu, better known as 刘芷绚. :)

Pretty skinny babe.

But I like her with curls and dyed hair thou, like this

Beauty with a heart for animals. I reckoned she's a cat-lover like I am too.

So cute.... :D

Too bad, she has decided to quit show biz and go back to ~~Sarawak~~ Langkawi to manage her spa. Coolsome. :)
Beauty + Kind ♥ + Brains, what more can you ask for. Dream girl to most guys right? Hehe...

Date Night & Oxygen

2010-04-11T13:12:46Z

Watched this movie yesterday and it's really a success. At least I found it funny, laughed hysterically at some parts. Both leads were awesome in their acting skills. I would rate this 8/10, so go watch it. :)

After watching this show (or at least in the mids of it) it gave me some thoughts about life; about marriage, about growing old together with the one u chose to marry.

How true it is when Humans got used to everyday life, taking for granted the presence of the one you love and love you.
I would NEVER want my husband to describe me next time as, "Shirley is really a good lady but we are better off as best room/house mates."
Isn't it heartbreaking to hear?

It got me thinking and I told myself to fulfill all these (I will try to make my hubby the happiest man on earth),

Keep the PASSION burning brightly and strongly.
Love each other everyday like it was the very first time.
Make my husband happy.
Be contented and appreciate his goodness.
Do things together w/o worrying about the kids and other what nots.
Give each other full attention.
Date like we ain't married. (Wooo... how exciting. Ha!)

Hahahaaaa... I dunno whether u know what I'm talking about, but at least I know what I want and got to do next time. ;)

Anyways, in ♥ with this song currently. Listen to it...
Told you already, whoever gets my heart in loving him will be the most fortunate guy ever. Hahahaaa.... Super BHB!

Oxygen by Colbie Caillat | Musicians Available

Oxygen by Colbie Caillat

I came apart inside a world made of angry people
I found a boy who had a dream
Making everyone smile
He was sunshine
I fell over my feet
Like bricks underwater

How am I supposed to tell you how I feel
I need oxygen
Oh baby if I was your lady?
I would make you happy
I'm never gonna leave, never gonna leave
Oh baby I will be your lady
I am going crazy for you

And so I found a state of mind
Where I could be speechless
I had to try it for a while
To figure out this feeling
This felt so right
Pull me upside down to a place
Where you've been waiting

How am I supposed to tell you how I feel
I need oxygen
Oh baby if I was your lady
I would make you happy
I'm never gonna leave,
Never gonna leave
Oh baby I will be your lady
I am going crazy for you

And you don't wanna keep me waiting
Staring at my fingers feeling like a fool

Oh baby I will be your lady
I will make you happy
I'm never gonna leave,
Never gonna leave
Oh baby I will be your lady
I'm going crazy, yeah-oh

Tell me what you want,
Baby tell me what you need
Anything I ask baby give it to me
Baby give it to me, give it to me

I came apart inside a world made of angry people
I found a boy who had a dream
Making everyone smile

Liberating yourself :)

2010-03-31T17:23:21Z

Sees some truth and somewhat inspired by an entry by Rozz.
Here it goes and I hope it does you good too,
"to forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you. when you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. you will know that forgiveness has begun when you recall those who hurt you and feel the power to wish them well."

Forgiveness speaks power to liberate onself. It takes alot in a person to forgive and live in peace with those whom had 'hurt' them. I applaud these people and seek to better myself and be like them too.

Forgive and forget.

Be that magnanimous ShirShir she once knew. :)

"I make peace with the World that done me wrong."
♥♥

Anyways, Be on guard! Happy April Fool's Day!

To my Superman out there

2010-03-21T15:28:24Z

Sunday Afternoon

it's a sunday afternoon, with you
let's play pretend on the swings, and fly over the moon

you could be my superman, and I will be your lady
                   in a big white castle
                    save me from the monsters beneath my bed

                  if it's love you're looking for
                    you don't have to look too far,
                   cos I... am yours
                   maybe the girl who's perfect
                   is somehow right in front of you
                   and you might find her on this
                   sunday afternoon

                 it's a sunday afternoon
                  with just two
                        lazing on the grass, i'd pick a flower just for
                     you could be the one for me
                  you don't even know
                  how to read the signs
                    if only you knew that my heart would be yours, in time

                      i'd write your name across the sky
                    turn sad songs into lullabies
                        but i'd stop myself, if only you knew...

Oh, how I ♥ listening to this song, perhaps singing it one day to my Superman. :)
