dream

i dreamt of u last night, felt so sureal, felt so right.
we were walking in this room so bright, filled with chandeliers, filled with light

dressed to the nines we were, i smiled at u, u never looked sharper
then we sat down together, i remember never feeling happier

a waiter comes and to him u nodded
next thing i knew people applauded
up on stage i saw u've transported
perched on a piano, ur expression unfaltered

you started to play, my heart missed a beat
i gaped and stared at this amazing feat
what have i done to deserve such a treat
that night, i don't think anything i could eat

i cocked my head, watched as your fingers glided, so magical it felt, i decided
slowly, i felt m eyes were heated, a glow from my face i know radiated

i was ready to throw myself at you when u came back
felt so overwhelmed my heart would crack
i stood up and you stopped in your tracks
that was when my alarm pierced through, and everything just went black

why you're my favourite valentine

because..
no one drives me half as crazy
as you do when you're not around
no one makes me go insane
if from you, i haven't heard a sound

no one lifts my spirits up
quite like you, just by the sight of you
no one causes me sleepless nights
like you do, when i start missing you

no one makes me smile silly
as you do, when you pop into my thoughts
no one makes my heart go wild
just by saying "lots and lots and lots"

no one makes me ache inside
from feeling this way about you
no one makes me admit aloud
that i love you, very much, through and through....

Perth in a nutshell...

*click for photos*

because we can

here's how we spend our free time here in Perth.

we take numerous pictures of ourselves. we pose for those numerous pictures. we pose really dramatically for some, and really silly for others.

some name this artistic hobby camwhoring. whatever it is called, we just do it because we can.

yanyee. concrete pillar too cool for school pose.

my incredibly ladylike picture. bearing my huge bruise on my right leg, my oddly bent left leg, my humongous calves, and my insane sun burn.

bad chinese dinner. curtin university park.

a yanyee-shakti bollywood movie poster pose

shakti. olden time lovesong video.

p.s. yes, we do in fact have quite a bit of free time. coz we're here waaaaay too long for a Perth holiday.

p.p.s. forgot to rotate some of the pictures, sorry. :)

once bitten twice shy

ever since the severe sun burn the three of us foolishly endeavored, we now never leave the house without a layer of sunscreen. that is...if we leave the house at all during the day time. we're all peeling at odd places, looking like we've got scabs or leprosy. the biggest peeler being Yan Yee, peeling everything from her skin, to potatoes and carrots, to apples. :)

so due to the less than attractive outlook of us, and our increasing phobia for the sun, we now only leave the house after sun down. most of the time. :)

got a bit too hot for shakti. she wanted to jump!

livin la vida loca!

brought to u by Karen, Yan Yee and Shakti

anyway, life here has been slow moving. think we're adapting the Aussie lifestyle. My bro brought us out for Gelare last night coz they had 50% off on waffles on Tuesday. Unlike Swensen's back home, i think the people here are way less kiasu, and the staff are more efficient during such peak hours. Ice cream was lovely of course. :)

Valentine's Day is tomorrow. Here's wishing all you crazy lovebirds out there a wonderful V Day. Have a good one. To my family and friends, you know i love you right? *wink*

I have sat on the bleachers and watched Valentine's pass me by year after year for ages.
One more year wouldn't hurt...
