The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 1,100 times in 2011. If it were a cable car, it would take about 18 trips to carry that many people.

Click here to see the complete report.

Highlights of the year included:

1) Watched my first full-length concert in Indoor Stadium. (For Rock Records’ 30th Anniversary concert.)

2) Wore a dress out for the whole day. On the first day of CNY. And never looked back.

3) Did a 20km cycling event. I won’t be taking part in the 2012 edition though, cos I don’t own a bicycle, and I don’t feel confident enough to cover the 39km route on a rented bicycle.

4) First time voting in GE and PE.

6) First time attending NDP on the actual day as an audience. The last time I participated in NDP was in 2005 as part of the handsigning contingent sitting at Marina South. I’ve got a letter of participation for breaking some record ok! =p

7) First 10km running event, and did quite badly for it. I’ve currently signed up for another 2 more in 2012. Aiming to complete at least 4 10km runs in 2012 before I attempt 21km in 2013. Ambitious, I know, but…we do need such dreams in order to motivate ourselves right? ^^

8) First photos with uber hot, topless guys in front of A&F. Muahahahahaha! Concessions of having a workplace near Orchard Road. =D

9) Not forgetting my beloved iPod Touch. =)

10) Bro’s commissioning parade!

11) Batam ODT with the colleagues.

Thank you 2011. You’ve treated me waaaaay better then 2010 did. 2012, it’s on to you now. I hope more firsts will come soon. =)

Love,
Vann

毎次聽到這首,心裡會湧一種莫名的感傷. 即使已經聽了十幾遍,毎次, 同樣的感覺還是會湧出來.

現在有搭配了MV, 這感覺更強烈.

我好喜歡MV的ending.

那天,在書局偶然看到了這本繪畫書. 基于好奇心 (因為最近聽說被翻拍成了電影, 而我五位老大當中有其中一位在電影裡有個客串性的角色, 主題曲也是他們的), 拿起了那本 browsing copy 翻了一下, 想不到,我深深的被吸引到了.

故事很簡單. 沒有轟轟烈烈的愛情,但是有細細地描繪了成長過程里可能有過的感情.

只要在那段時候里有喜歡過人,可能會覺得故事還蠻貼切的嘛.

這首歌是和這部電影一起推出來的. 特別喜歡這首歌里的幾句詞. 輕慢慢欣賞吧~

星空

摸不到的顏色  是否叫彩虹?
看不到的擁抱  是否叫做微風?
一個人  想著一個人  是否就叫寂寞?

命運偷走如果  只留下結果
時間偷走初衷  只留下了苦衷
你來過  然後你走後  只留下星空

 那一年我們望著星空   有那麼多的 燦爛的夢
 以為快樂會永久  像不變星空   陪著我

獵戶 天狼 織女  光年外沉默
回憶 青春 夢想  何時偷偷隕落？
我愛過  然後我沈默  人海裡漂流

 那一年我們望著星空   未來的未來 從沒想過
 當故事失去美夢  美夢失去線索  而我們失去聯絡

 這一片無言無語星空   為什麼靜靜 看我淚流
 如果你在的時候  會不會伸手  擁抱我？

    細數繁星閃爍   細數此生奔波
    原來 所有 所得 所獲   不如一夜的星空

    空氣中的溫柔  回憶你的笑容
    彷彿只要伸手  就能觸摸

摸不到的顏色  是否叫彩虹
看不到的擁抱  是否叫做微風
一個人  習慣一個人…

 這一刻獨自望著星空   從前的從前 從沒變過
 寂寞可以是忍受  也可以是享受   享受僅有的擁有

 那一年我們望著星空   有那麼多的 燦爛的夢
 至少回憶會永久  像不變星空   陪著我

 最後只剩下星空  像不變回憶  
 陪著我…

I did badly, but I’m still proud of it! There’s a lot of room for improvement though HAHA!

第一次聽到這首歌,是大概9個月前的事情了吧…當時五位老大在跨年上表演了這首歌. 我過後只是在 Youtube 上才看到了以上的視頻.

9個月後的今天(因該算是昨天了吧…),聽到了首播,還是 OAOA, 但詞有改了.

我老實跟你說吧,我比較喜歡舊的版本. =x

我也認為這首歌很陰險耶! 聽了3次,那個旋律就會一直在腦海里回旋着.尤其是 chorus 的部分. >.<

我也不知道我在這裡胡言亂語了什麼鬼啦.看得懂,就好. 看不懂,也就算了hor. =)

I WILL GRADUATE ONE DAY. ONE FINE DAY. RAWR. *burning monkey emote*

Stuffs that I got.

From left to right:

Top row: Freshel Cleansing cream, White Deep Night Conditioner

Bottom row: Kate Quick Eyeliner (brown), Lunasol Full Glamour Lips G #26, Lunasol Full Glamour Lips G #29, Lunasol Full Glamour Lips G #EX-04, Lunasol Full Glamour Lips S #29, Kate Lip Gloss PK-2, Kate Lip Gloss PK-3, Coffret D’Or PK-232

First up, Freshel Cleansing Cream!

How it looks like when opened.

It feels relatively good on my skin (but then again, I’ve only used it twice LOL). I guess I’ll take quite some time before I use it up though…

Blanchir White Deep Night Conditioner

I’ve only used it once! So I’m not in a position to say much, although this morning my face did feel kinda moisturised in a good way…

My new Lunasol lippies! (with Coffret at the very right)

Not too sure if the colours are clear enough, but let me introduce you to them. Left to right: G #EX-04, G #26, G#29, S #29, Coffret PK-232

I realised that G#26, G#29 and S#29 look pretty similar in the pic, but they’re really different shades! The lighting doesn’t do them  justice lol~

Maybe I should type out their descriptions so that you can have a rough idea of how they really look like.

G EX-04:  Sheer Gold Beige

G #26: Orange Beige

G#29: Fresh Orange

S#29: Orange Beige

And I just realised I have a thing for orange-beige lippies LOL!

My best attempt at doing a swatch LOL

Left to right: G#26, G#29, S #29, G #EX-04, Coffret PK 232

Lousy swatch of my lip glosses.

Top: PK-2

Bottom: PK-3

Kinda sux la the swatches. I tried my best though LOL

Alright. End of loot sharing. I think I got bitten by the vain bug recently to have actually thought of buying such stuffs. =x

Was out the entire day yesterday trying to settle everything, and ZOMG someone up there loves me man!!!! Both were still under warranty!!!! Thank you, whoever is up there!!!! =D

And yes!! My phone’s back!! (Actually they serviced it for me in an hour’s time lol~) so now, I’m waiting for my other baby to be back. *sigh* IMU…

Oh, and HP later on! Wahhh I haven’t watched any movie this year until last week when I lompang-ed onto Steph’s free tix to Transformers 3. In IMAX 3D somemore leh!! =D thankewwwww stephie!!! ^^ and HP tonight! I think I’ll tear like mad. Hais.

Anyway, main purpose of this is to say that: I TYPED THIS ON MY PHONE! Banzai!

Oh, I wanted to blog about my bro’s commissioning parade, but since my netbook’s not with me, I can’t upload pics also. Ohwells~

And I’ve learnt recently that ignorance (or acting to be ignorant) is total bliss man.

Day 7!! Before filtering.

It looked like this before I did anything. Like…wow. Quite amazing leh! HAHA!

After filtering!

After filtering (which essentially what I used is a sieve LOL), it looks like this!

Basically, it smells like some form of apple wine (cos of the fermenting from the past 7 days). Tastes something like it also, but I’ve only tried a wee bit. Probably going to try drinking it from tomorrow onwards. =)

For those who are wondering, I was trying to make some apple enzymes! =D
