True friends.

i'm quite lucky to have met some people who have changed the course of my life and will continue to shape the kind of person i am in the future. these special friends stick with you through good and bad.. and know all your flaws, but still love you anyway.

you know who you are.. i am blessed to have met you.

snow white and the forbidden fruit.

why is it that we are often tempted to do the very thing that will bring us to our doom? could it be the adrenaline rush? the excitement that comes with getting caught? NO.

I have my own theory on this. yes, it's all of the above. BUT! i think there's 'more than meets the eye' (i'm taking this transformers movie seriously now).. i think it is because no matter what we have, we will never be satisfied. we humans are greedy. we reach a point where we are happy, then as time goes by, we look around and realise that we want more. we have a nice home - we want a bigger, better home. we have a nice car - we want another one... it's the same with airsoft guns. i want a sniper rifle now... and i'm using the 'my-brothers-are-coming-to-visit-so-i-need-guns' card as an excuse to get more haha.

ahhh, isn't it great to be human, alive and kickin'? ok keep it real y'all... for sho'...!!

It's a great day to be alive.

You are the judge of what is true. Your tormentor is your greatest teacher, so do something that scares you every day. He who never made a mistake never made a discovery...

If you must stare, try not to be too obvious.

Holy mother of God... (figure of speech!). Check out these bad boys... brand spanking new from Hong Kong... only a few hours 'old'.

Do not protect yourself by a fence, but rather by your friends.

Despite being exhausted from the war games, I spent the rest of my day with my colleagues from work, hj hj and edde.. acting like giddy tourists in the old part of town.





This is my portion, soo...
what are you guys having? haha




hrmm... this looks good!



hmmm what am i gonna have today?




our hang out place...
which we recently adopted and now refer to as 'kianggeh'.






oi
no hanky panky on the streets





this is so cute






just so you know...
they're putting 'stuff' on the building




giant chess...
where's the giant scrabble? haha
huh?

i love you too
you can have her for 300 francs haha
(hey it said so on the post-it note above her left umm..)

By learning to obey, you will know how to command.

Our new airsoft guns haven't arrived yet, but it didn't stop us from playing anyway yesterday..


Team Ariana plus one member from the Black Tigers 'Tunnel Rat' (on the left).






Bite the bullet.. This is Tunnel Rat's AK-47. How sexy is this baby?! Weighs a ton but is accurate as a swiss watch.. haha






The enemy of my enemy is my friend.. these are the other teams that played on the day.

We combined forces and managed to capture the flag!




you are on dangerous grounds... one of the bunkers.







hrm... a moving target ayes.. haha, tempting!







T-Rex giving us pointers on how to use the hand signals.






Maverick - 'two enemies sighted'





Kite - 'Freeze (possible assault ahead)'
Listen or your tongue will keep you deaf.




T-Rex - 'Ok'





When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you.



A friend is someone who has the same enemies you have..
Patrolling the forest.

It's not easy being an instructor..




Our guns are expected to arrive this Monday... I will post up pics of my new toys later..! Cheers

You must be twisted..! Like scoliosis.

What's scoliosis? Wikipedia states that it is an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine, where it looks more like an "S" or a "C" than a straight line. There is no cure for this condition, except surgery.. where you insert and screw in a metal rod along the spine to make it straight. In my case, it's an "S"... My lower back used to hurt everytime i lie or sit down... and everytime i try to get up. We all decided that it was best not to go for surgery but to get alternative forms of treatment.

It stopped hurting after getting weekly treatments from this Canadian chiropractor over a period of 3 years. My spine is still crooked to one side but at least the shooting pain subsided as a result.

This chiropractor ended up being a family friend and great fishing mate haha. He even bought the red Celica for his daughter and changed the plates from 'TINA88' to 'JENNY88' (yes his daughter's name is Jenny). I'm not really sure to this day, if the number 88 means anything to Jenny hehe.

Thanks doc!

Clueless.

Hahaha now that we've come to the topic of men and women, there are so many men out there who are pretty much clueless about what a woman wants and how they think. No matter how smart they think they are... haha.

Women are generally insatiable beings.. and would want to be a priority in a man's life. Should it happen that the woman feels neglected to a point where she has to fight for his time, she will find others who will give her the attention she needs. Men take it for granted that women will always wait on hand and foot... and when he loses her, he wonders wtf happened... and by then it's already too late.

A man wants to be a woman's first love, a woman wants to be his last.

One thing I've learned in the short '21 years' of my life (not!), is that there is only one person you can depend on to make you happy... and that is... YOURSELF.

I have this theory that men are not meant to be monogamous. They are just born to be this way. Even throughout the history of the animal kingdom, the males are meant to mate with as many females as possible to produce offspring that would carry on their genes... and this is where the Darwin/Spencer theory on 'survival of the fittest' takes into effect.

The females will tend to their young and are content with the males as long as food and protection from predators are provided. Don't get me wrong, i know some men (and women) would be offended by reading this, but like i said this is just MY theory. I'm sure there are some men out there who are loyal to their other half..

The One (Part III)

Be with someone who is constantly thinking,
of how to take care of you..

Find a guy who is addicted to you,
and loves to be around you…

Go for one that acts silly infront of you,
and cares to know if you’ve eaten or not...

Go for a bloke that gets a little jealous,
when others give you some attention..

Find a guy who runs after you,
when you turn away in despair...


Search for the man that brings down all the bricks around him,
to let you know that u are worthy to keep all his secrets...

Save yourself for the one..
who will love you more...


All the treasure in the world is worthless,
unless you have someone to share it with.

You don't scare me. I have children.

mum - an angel sent by God
speak no evil

It seems like mum and dad are coming to Geneva on the 19th of September... woohoo! can't wait!

Beauty is such a curse.

If looks could kill... I would SO die right now.

ok just cos i have 3 brothers, ride a bike and play with toy guns doesn't mean i'm a tomboy! haha i'm going to be girl now and post this in my blog. why? because i can.

If i was stranded on an island, and i can choose three things to take with me, these three men would be it. (yea well, it's MY island - so MY rules) haha *snicker*


brandon routh - sweet clark kent and powerful superman in one
daniel henney - a strong alpha male and a sweet romantic in one


wentworth miller - a clever architect and hot prisonbreaker in one


And they all have one thing in common - they all look buff IN and OUT of their suits. haha sorry guys, but it's true!

Boredom is a sign of unused potential.

so to kill the boredom, we decided to look around the flea market at plainpalais and have lunch at La Praille, followed by shopping at Chavannes Centre and Balexert... from 9 am to 6.30pm. haha. bummer my camera batteries died 30 mins into the outting.. but i managed to take these..
secret agents edde, hj hj and giah..
inspecting to see if there are any contraband goods on sale (eseh!)

one man's trash is another man's treasure..
smile - you're on candid camera!

(some of the items on sale at the market)

India Mari!

The colour of the water coming off a tap in a 5-star hotel in Delhi...

We found this sign on the toilet seat.. it sure as hell wasn't! haha.. kidding!



An unsolved mystery.. We still don't know how this slightly overturned bus ended up in the construction site, with two of its wheels off the ground..



Actually India did us a lot of good... in one month, we got to experience the rich diverse culture and meet beautiful friendly people.. i was secretly hoping to bump into Shahrukh Khan... but i guess it wouldn't be easy to spot him among the one BILLION people living and working in India.

Ching, pack your bags we are going to Mumbai this time! Bollywood here we come!

Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.

What's grosser than gross? Dreaming about chocolate pudding and waking up with a spoon up your butt..!

Hahaha kidding. But this video comes pretty close... it's so gross - it's not for the faint hearted!

'someone' accidentally slammed their fingers a few years ago.. thanks to a heavy Nissan S15 door. so yeah the nail came off, and grew back later on. the black stuff you see inside is actually dried up blood. OUCH! this 'someone' really needs to grow up quick and learn how to properly open and close a car door. haha
