Why do people blog?

I've been thinking, why am i religiously blogging? Am i bored with my life? In a way, yes, my life is not too interesting. i'm not rescuing people affected by earthquakes or tsunamis. i'm not spreading God's word in some obscure corner of the earth (which doesn't make sense cos earth's round, therefore there are no corners). i'm not even volunteering any of my free time to the less fortunate. what am i happy with my life? in my 23 years, what have i done for others? I can't think of anything really substantial to speak of. when i die, what will ppl remember of my existence? "Stella watched a lot of Korean shows (with good endings), whined a lot, tagged along to all the group outings (never organising any), took a long time warming up to ppl (if at all), seemed kinda proud... " I need to do something about this.

i guess i just want to let off steam. There are things going on with my life, which are beyond my control, which i'm not particularly happy about. But i'm not totally unhappy yet. don't send me into woodbridge yet, i'm not that depressed. in fact, i'm desperately trying to stop myself from turning into this sad, jaded person, (which i think i'm gradually becoming *shiver*). i'm counting my blessings from now. Why am i happy with my life? Because i have a bunch of great friends who has been with me for at least 10 years. (wow!!) Because i have a great guy with me, who's patient and kind and considerate. smart too. Because i have my family who cares for me. Because because. i'm glad to be alive.

Back To Reality

It's over! We're finally married (in the eyes of the Church!). It was really pretty fun last sat, thank God for the sunny weather (a bit hot lah, but at least it didn't rain till after), for the wonderful guests and my fantastic friends. hope it wasn't too uncomfortable under the sun for everyone.

Back Safe and Sound

This is my first post since we left Bermuda for Singapore more than 3 weeks ago. We are battling serious jet lag this time. it might be the age-factor (yikes!) or because we didn't rest properly on the flights (yes plural!) back cos we were busy trying to exhaust all the new movies on krisworld, or maybe a combination of both lah. but both of us have been trying very hard to keep awake at 3pm. yes, the sleep monster strikes at that hour! thank God we are going to remove time saving tonight, so we have 1 less hour to correct this weekend. talking about movies, twilight was amazingly easy on the eye! although i hesitate to call ourselves twilight converts given that i was highly skeptical at first. but the eye candy in the form of Rob Pattersin/Edward Cullen is really irresistible (did you know Rob Pattersin was Cedric in Harry Potter??) .... argh. i wanna get bitten by this vamp too lor! BITE ME! Hao-e even bought New Moon (the sequal) to read this weekend and i spent almost ...

IT JUST DOESN'T FEEL LIKE CHINESE NEW YEAR!

As I learn about everyone's plans to welcome the Golden Tiger Year, the more unhappy I become.  Although it was a conscious effort on our part to avoid being home for the Lunar New Year, I cannot help but feel left out during this all-important holiday. On this island, we have all but 1 so-called Chinese restaurant.  Every year, they would put up the red banner a few weeks before CNY. One red banner compared to the numerous ones back home.  How pathetic eh? There is no atmosphere whatsoever. With the "influx" of Chinese kids, 4 in total plus 1 soon-to-be-born, I made myself pack some red envelopes from home, so that the kids can experience a little of the festivities that I am so used to.   WHAT IS CHINESE NEW YEAR WITHOUT THE RED PACKETS? This year, we've upgraded our celebration to include mahjong!  yes, the mahjong set and table arrived last weekend.  hao-e couldn't stop himself from ripping the plastic cover off those ivory -coloured tiles and we ...
