In the mix - MY TOP PICKS:

22 January 2009

The three monkeys in my life, what does one say to that? This was at the Bjorn again concert in Kings Park, and my dear Ya-Ya fell in love with Uncle Clint and Aunty Veron. It's a bloody miracle. Oh, let's not forget Freckles and Dolly (whose hair can be seen just at the bottom of frame).
With Mama and Gong-Gong before going to the Andre Rieu concert. They have a mountain load of photos of their precious as it is, still "More, more!" they say. The little manja pot is so cute in her Gap dress. Lucky shit. Lol. I was lucky to get a dress from a pasar malam. The rest were hand me downs. Bah.
Miss Poseur - she LOVES to take photos, LOVES to pose, and LOVES to see her own photo after the shot's been taken. Sound familiar, Baobei?
She loves her Aunty-YiYi-Cherie as she so calls me from time to time due to confusion in titles. On the rare occasion, I am also called Mummy. Funny.
Last but not least, the good old Jap pose, or in our days - PEACE. Think the latter is far cooler.


Okelly Dokelly people...I just wanted to post some of my favourite photos of my niece, taken with my phone.

PEACE OUT Y'ALL

I would give anything to go through the shit in life again for that to be taken away. 


I take it all back.

I can be a giant for all I care.

I can be the smallest pea if so needed.

Anything for it to be all okay. 

I miss you hun.

I love you more. 

I wish I could be with you now.

...... to keep someone you love by your side? 


Would you try to be someone you think they would love in order to ensure their love for always?

It's obviously a given when couples are in a honeymoon period though. Everything is oh-so-perfect, all you can think about is the other person and when you are going to spend time with them again. People tend to give in more easily because of that "special" feeling that leaves you tingly inside. 2 months later the flaws suddenly start to seep out from beneath the cracks and that oh-so-perfect vision slowly evaporates. REALITY HITS! It's not so easy to be someone else. 

At some point one WILL slip up and a little bit of the "real" person will do a little flashing. It's a pity people think the only way to get through life is to be someone else. Surely we all reach a point in our lives where we know who we are, or at least, who we want to be. Needless to say, some people want to be someone else. 

Would you tell little white lies to get away with the small things? 

I almost can't think of any examples because to me a lie is simply a lie, be it a white one, or black, red, pink or any colour for that matter. "Yes I've eaten." when you have not would probably classify as the most innocent white lie. However, as we all know, white lies sometimes and almost always, lead to bigger lies. And we all know what happens from there on. 

Would you lie about anything under the sun just to save your sorry ass?

Lying about your past, lying about your feelings, lying about what you want to do, lying about your thoughts and opinions, just plain and simple, lying. It is apparent that many do not understand or believe that honesty is the best policy. Truthfully, it often bites you in the ass. In my opinion, it's a smaller bite compared to having your lie bust in your face and getting caught out on your lie. 

Would you manipulate a person so they feel forever emotionally attached to you? 

I suppose this could constitute as lying, but at the same time it's almost different. I guess I should say manipulate a person's emotions ...... and make them feel like they can never leave you, and I mean under no circumstance. Especially if you were supposedly dying. How anyone can feel good about themselves by manipulation is absolutely beyond me. 

____________________________________________________________________

They say in life you should live and let live. They also say we should forgive and forget. Whoever they are, they need to come and show me how it's done because life is hard enough as it is without having to meet people who make it that much harder. 

They also say the things we go through only make us bigger persons. They should have a look at me, because if what they say is true, then I am a freaking giant

I sometimes wonder why God made me go through all I have and why I had to go through as much as I did in my short 24 years. But you he said is right, it was through my own choices and decisions life happened as it did for me. 

I chose to stick with you despite your lies and manipulation. You should have died when you said you were going to, and I wouldn't have had to cry the tears I did. Now look at you all happy and content, your entire family thinking you are the Angel of the World. I'm sure you look back and wonder where did it all go wrong. Well honey, take a look in the friggin' mirror and engage in all splendor of your ugliness. 

I used to think that LOVE would conquer all. At times it does, and I know it has pulled me through some very hard times. My love for my friends and family, that is. But it is no longer something I live for. I live for myself, for my future, and for the future of my future.
