thanks for all the smses, msnes and calls and meetups...
juz coz of one blog entry... =D

you guys have no idea how much better u all make me feel.

u noe how sometimes, as u slip slowly into the monotony of life and the comfortable yet boring daily routine, u somehow juz start to take frens ard u for granted? like how, u'll postpone appointments with frens, or even cancel them coz u've got work to do? or how u juz dun feel like leaving ur hse to meet up with a fren for a simple and short dinner, juz coz u're lazy?

ashamedly, i do that sometimes. but when things happen and frens still stand by u loyally and faithfully, u start to treasure them much more den before. seriously, if u have frens like mine, u'll die with no regrets =)))

anyway i'm feeling better alr! not at my peak, but good enuff. i'll survive. haha...

it's not really my style to pour out emotions onto my blog. okay, it WAS my style when i was using blogs much more private before. but this blog is like waaaaayyyy too public, i think even lester's frens who dun really noe me, noe abt it. coz u see, it's supposed to be a combined blog, but he's too lazy to blog! haaz...

but i wasnt exactly feeling superb tat day, so i was beyond concern abt whether strangers or acquaintances read all those.


i had always wanted to do something since year 1, but i never never had the courage to really do it. partly coz it looked real painful, partly coz it's goin to be sorta permanent, and partly coz i think my parents will kill me.

after procrastinating for 4 damn years, and regretting every single time i see others do it, i've decided to get my ass up and goin to get it done.

let's juz say. i wanted to do something different. i wanted to do something before i graduate, that i noe i wouldnt do when i start work.

let's juz say, i wanted to do it coz i noe everyone lives only once, and i dun wanna regret it years down the road.

u noe how sometimes u really really really wanna do something, but somehow, despite the desperate want in u, u juz cant seem to get urself to do it? mebbe it's coz of fear, mebbe it's coz of consequences. one good example is studying psychology overseas. i really really would love tat, but somehow the 18yr old me then juz couldnt get myself to do it. money was a big problem too.

soooooooooooooooo! me and peiting researched for days for the best design and the best and safest and not too expensive shop and we went down to get it done!







it's a pinkish reddish butterfly leaving behind a trail of stars, flying off my shoulder!

haha i noe, so cliche ritez? butterfly.

i wanted a butterfly initally, but tot it was too cliche, so went ard searchin for other options. i went from dragonfly to sunflower to clouds to stars to fairies and angels to tattooing juz my name. and eventually i still went back to butterfly, coz i love it to bits.

and i love wat it stands for. these were all found from the net.

• The butterfly is a symbol of transformation or change, love and joy.

• It represents beauty, changes, taking flight, simplicity and peace. At first, its an ugly catepillar and no one will give it a second look. but with time and dedication, it becomes something marvelous to the human eye. Its a natural wonder.
  

• It means a new life, a new beginning, a new phase to life. It is spontaneous and exhilarating, it is beautiful and calm, it is colorful and vibrant.

it actually means something else to me, something much more impt, but i'm too embarassed and shy to say it here. and anyway, only lester and peiting knew abt the extra meaning to it... =)

so I'm a really reaaaallyyy happy person now. and still excited over it... =)

it's not painful by the way. it's not totally painless, but the pain level is very bearable. trust me, i've a low tolerance for pain, and i hesitated for like an hr inside the tattoo shop coz i was so scared of the pain.

we did it at this shop called "VISUAL ORGASM", which quite a number of celebrities have patronised, like maia lee and chen hanwei. the tattooists there were really good, and supa friendly (with the exception of one tho! bleah!), and their prices are reasonable too. the first shop we went to quoted me a price tat was $50 more den wat Visual Orgasm quoted me aft tat. like wat the hell.

i still cant believe i got one. really. and i think some frens of mine cant believe it too. they tot it was a sticker and tried to scrape it off my body, which FREAKING HURT by the way.

so pls dun try to be funny by hitting it or rubbing it. i swear i will bodyslam u onto the ground. it's still in the healing stage so it perpetually feels like a sunburn. prob aft another week or so, u all can touch or rub or hit as much as u wan. haha...

but now it's scabbing and looking really ugly. i cant wait for all the scabs to fall off!

for anyone out there who really really wants a tattoo but are hesitating for some reasons, juz go get it! trust me, if u really wan it, u'll never regret getting it... =D

i'm so damn tempted to post photos of peiting's tattoos here, but i'm not sure if she wans to show to everyone haha... she'll kill me if i post i think. so better not.

yaaaays! juz talking abt it makes me happy!


and i juz found out tat the australia trip MIGHT actually materialise! yaaaaaaayssss!

for now, i'm juz totally looking forward to friday and saturday.
i want u back. from all the damn freaking projects. =(
