Back from the grave

I think it's been long enough since I've last blogged. I wouldn't want to sound idiotic and whine on and on about things. Let's just say, the reason why I didn't blog for a long time, was due to stressful times in Life. I'll leave the imagination to your guys.

Anyway, I'll "repay" the blog by actually posting two posts. Why? Because when started blogging, one aim for this blog was to have an update every week.

Fret not, the posts won't be a repetition because it would be utterly stupid to do so. It won't be rantings about my school work or teachers. Instead, I've found some interesting stuff to blog about.

But first, the "quizzes" from Shera's blog.

1st one: Random facts about me

Rules :

- each blogger starts with ten random facts/habits about themselves

I'll definitely not tag others to do it, because quizzes like this should be done for fun and not by "passing". And I'm tired to wreck my brains to think of 10 people.

- bloggers tagged need to write on their on blog about their ten things
and post the rules.

- at the end of your blog you need to choose 10 people you`re going
to tag and list their names.

- don't forget to comment on their site that they`re tagged.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1)I think that Toe-socks are the best creation ever. I have no clue why I LOVE toe socks but they just make me feel "all fuzzy inside".toe socks!!!

2)I HATE the colour PINK. Especially HOT PINK. But I love the Singer PINK.

3)I LOVE watching people get body piercings and I'm in LOVE with Thaipusam(Indian festivals) where people carry heavy kavadis by piercing metal rods through their body. I like watching the lion dance performances too.Thaipusam 2006 (31)lion dance

4)I LOVE going to 'Toys R Us'. I love playing every single toy there, removing the toy baby's diapers, playing with the swords and machine guns.

5)I have a habit of twirling my pen between my fingers. I find it entertaining.

6)I have to stretch and "crack" my neck, elbows,finger,back,knee and toes before i head to school. This way, I wouldn't feel lethargic, but feel energized all day. My mum thinks it's gross and that my head,elbows,knees, toes and fingers would drop from my body one day.

7)I have so much junk food in my room that I can start my own "mama shop".

8)I have five black trash bags of soft toys. I used to be a lover of soft toys. There was once when I didn't want to go home unless my parents bought me the soft toy that i was hugging. Fortunately, they did. . My room and bed used to be filled with toys, leaving me with no space to sleep on my bed. But my dad started giving away my "precious" to his friend's kids. I'm left with only five bags now.

9)I think that I am a very stubborn ass and tend to not listen to people's advice if I feel that I am not in the wrong. But before you go around telling that "kethlyn's an ass", I'd like you to get to know me better and then judge instead of judging from other's opinions. No one is good enough to judge you if that person doesn't know you well enough.

10)I'm allergic to Panadol. hahah.

Gong Xi Fa Cai

First and foremost, Go Xi Fa Cai, Xin Nian Kuai Le to all Chinese peeps out there!

gong xi fa cai


The festive season this year is unexpectedly boring. The celebrations in school wasn't as fun as I had expected and the ambiance made me indecisive; I did not know if I was supposed to enjoy and have fun, or stay moody like everyone else.

To add to my misery, I'm sick. I'm down with High fever and my throat irritates me so much that I feel like inserting one of my aunt's back-scratchers down into my throat,scratch it with all my might, or I could just eat some "Halls Breezers"

Fruit Breezers

Yeah, I caught it on TV and am amazed at how the advertisement can literally soothe my throat at the thought of it.


This sickness, however, has not stopped me from stuffing myself with all the scrumptious delicacies. I love eating all the "kueh kuehs" that my Mum's side makes. What's so unique is that, they're Peranakans, so there's sort of a twist in everything they make. How? I have no clue either.

I am bound to be seriously after all this eating. Hahaha.

My Grand Aunt who's living in Australia came to Singapore and I sure am excited to meet her again.

Everything is going well so far, except for the biggest bummer, which is, I DIDN'T GET TO SEE/WATCH ANY LION/DRAGON DANCE THIS YEAR!!

I don't know what's so mesmerizing but I am so IN LOVE with lion dances!!






My mum thinks it has something to do with the Chinese Zodiac signs, having that Monkeys live being around the Dragons. Dragons and Monkeys do get along really well because the monkey lets the dragon lead while the dragon allows the monkey to do all sorts of mischief, so long as it helps the dragon.


I've always been inspired to participate in Lion Dance, but after seeing to many mishaps,especially when they're doing the stilts, I've changed my mind to join Dragon Boat racing. But after hearing the mishaps of the Singapore Team, I've decided to withdraw that decision too. Lol.

Anyway, if anyone has any idea on where to watch some lion dance, TELL ME!!

Before I leave, I'd like to say that, I spent the past few nights chatting on MSN messenger and the one person that really made me smile through my computer screen was Ling Jie! Chatting with him was so much fun, because we made up stories of so many people and slowly pieced all of them together, to form one big story. Lol. He's one guy everyone should chat with, as he'll definitely brighten your day! I promise!
