|About this confounded soul I AM KAREEN LEE JIANING. A believer. A cynic. A glutton. A sloth. A starry-eyed dreamer. A sucker for fancy words. A fool for sweeties (should you be one at all). =) An Aloof, albeit passionate being. Alright, yep, Ambivalency is part of me. |My wishlist To be with my Father in heaven. To be married to A Chocolatey Prince who loves Ragdolls And ME. To sleep-breathless in a chocolate coffin, till I go six feet under. I wish to swim in Mr Willy Wonka's choco river. |Some Facts About Chocolates From Cacao bean. Categorized- White, dark and Milk. During World War II, soldiers got chocolate candy bars as part of their rations (ARH! I'd join the army if that happens NOW). Contains phenylethylamine, a naturally occurring amino-acid which is considered having aphrodisiacal effects and is even said to be able to "cure" hangovers- Right. makes you feel like you're in LOVE. Alternative to antidepressants. Alleviates pain and encourages a good mood. (Now you know why i crave for them more so when the crimson river flows). Dark chocolate is good for the heart! In Denmark they reason like this: Chokolade is obtained from cocoa beans. Beans are vegetables. Sugar is extracted from sugarcane. Both beans and canes are vegetables, consequently chocolate is a vegetable! |

|Confession of the Chocomaniac on Sunday, October 30, 2005 Finally! the concert is over! Whoohoo! At least i didn't screw up... Was pretty darn nervous though. Phew. Thank God i didn't pass out. Mom came with brat and Vic. They gave me this really sweet bouquet of sunflowers. ^-^ Angeling, auntie weijun and Theodora came too! Amanda, Ben, Peter, Ricky, Yijia and Val, came to watch! Even Timmy! They gave me a huge, but pretty much fake, red rose. which looks like a wand.How nice of them. Although the concert wasn't all that GREAT. But we had fun. That's a huge burden lifted. School starts TMR.
I'm back to norm again. Everything was so hectic and I was really flustered and all... The house warming was a blast! We had church members over for lunch and relatives+close friends over for dinner. Simply delighted to hear that my house is nice. Work was as usual. My plants are still alive. Thank God. Shufang's and Mark's birthday was over bout 3 minutes ago. Mark invited us over his house for dinner. All the yummilicious food... again. The very much needed exerciseSssss will be done tmr. AND! The long awaited concert is THIS saturday! I'll be playing TWO songs- Merry Widow Waltz and Sunrise. All psyched. I bought these really neat pair of shoes for the concert. The price is neat as well. Val sent me this spongebob song- Campfire song Song. I've been listening to it the whole night! Non-stop. Permanently stuck in my head.
There's so much to do. Too much to handle. I feel like crying my eyes out. Pray that God will grant me strength. I need it.
I know... the song is irritating. I know... My writing sucks. That is why i so want to close this excruciatingly dreadful blog down. Oh well.. as much as I'd love to blog as often as I could...I cant. My life now is revolving around Penang Place and Cello practice. Hey... but I'm loving it! Penang Place is one of the best things that happened to me. Aunt Hannah and uncle Paul invited us over tonight. Met the gang. Lovely ppl. I think lovely ppl will always meet lovely ppl. Which goes to show that- YOU ARE LOVELY! We're all lovely ppl. Primarily coz we're God's creation. Yep. But of coz... there are always some ppl who are lovelier. *Beams* (if u know what i mean) Was really stuffed. Boy am i gonna grow fat. All the rich food... Beef steak, Ox's tail stew, mashed POTATOes... CHOCOLATE cake with ICE CREAM... Wow.. those in bold are really my favvourites. Boy did i help myself to those. Another happy thing- I got my pay! Whee~~~ Aint alot actually. But the feeling of getting wages for all the hard work... It's a fortaste of heaven. Alright.. I'm exaggerating. BUT one thing that's for sure- I'm really all smiles today. (even as im typing this out. "Kareen! Wipe that silly grin off your face!" I can almost hear Yijia say that.) My jaw did lotsa work today. All the eating, masicating and 'binging' episodes... Soon, i will have to go for workouts again. Argh...
I boarded the wrong bus at the bus interchange (how dumb is that?!), toook out a book and started the reading. The next thing i know... i was touring the whole of TUAS island. Is that stupid or stupid? I made a detour and ended up back at the bus interchange. Lost more than an hour of my time. I was feeling too much a dolt to ask the bus driver where the bus is heading to. So i sat there... very much helpless and lost... feeling dumb is inevitable. Today, i met up with the rest. Gdine and Shuf got me a jewelery box from Palawan! How very sweet of them. I can stuff all my things in there! A very big box in comparison to my other two. But still aint big enuff... It's wooden.. suffered a few scratches, otherwise, it'll be... pretty. Be as it may... I wouldn't mind having the vintage one in exchange, since Gdine so wanted it for herself. Also, I'd finally, finally, finally! gotten contact lenses. I touched my freakin eyeballs! Yikes. How cool is that? Took me like 15 minutes to learn how to do it. Shopped alot. Cello practice still. I'm sooo having a headache.
I was totally ashamed of my conduct in the recent. I mean... I'm acting like a spoilt brat! (Worse than Canida, if you please.) Or .. .. Am I really ALREADY one? God has given me so much in life. Yet, I'm miles away from CONTENTED. No siree. I yearned for more. Belittled whatever that was right before my very own eyes. I am blessed! I am. Too many times have i overlooked the fact that I'm still breathing. Living another day, to serve the Lord. (But also, I've failed to do so each passing day.) I'm not worthy of my possesionsss. I'm not a happy person. I don't have a vast capacity of optimism. My puny head can't register how BLESSED i truly am. I'm complaining. I'm such a dreadfully, DREADFULLY awful person. It's inevitable to look at my sister and utter "If only I could feel as carefree." She doesn't complain much. She bears no grudges. She's forgiving. She talks ALOT. She laughs her silly head off every now and then. She's dumb at times, but no more dumber than i am. I'm heaving a really big sigh here. Lamenting my sorry state.(It never was) I don't deserve what I have. In no way am i appreciating it. I complain of how stuffy my house is. When millions of others don't even get to live in one. Whilst i worry and groan over how much weight I've put on, never once did i realise "I'm being well-fed." I sigh in exasperation upon the sight of my wardrobe. Not once have i thought "Boy, do i have so many clothes!" I've always been a meanie to my sister, oblivious to the fact what a blessing she really is. Here i am, kvetching, rambling discontentment... loathing the life I lead... when again, others would have sold their souls to exchange their lives with me (just maybe.) I am blessed. Be that as it may, I most certainly do not deserve it.
Ugh! I just did something really stupid. (Thanks to Mr Ma btw.) Gotta get that ROSIN for cello practice by tmr. And silly me, I havent any idea where to get it. Worse still, I have to get the most expensive brand coz i just damged TWO of the school's Rosin. (Thanks to Mr Ma though.) To further prove how dumb I am- I havent the slightest idea where Bras basah is. Brilliant still... everyone else is not free tomorrow. Great. Where are the people????? Again. The feeling of having realised how dumb I am is completely depressing. And screw the stupid plant! It's dead.
Woke up with my neck aching. Ouch. I dreamt that i bought many many plants and had them placed in my room. Immediately, my room turned into some green house look-alike. The frightfully awful event was... Gazillions of aphids and eeky-weeckies came and decided to live on MY plants! They were crawling all over! Ghastly. What came next was... they grew in size. All the more revolting. Eeww. I'm having goosebumps all over again. Yucks. The other day i was dreaming about taking off from a high-storey building in a really large bowl. Yea. Bowl. I've had so many weird dreams. Most of them were disturbing. *sigh Maybe I've been watching too much Tv. Maybe I've eaten too much.
Shufang spoke a few words too. Seriously... all i cud make out was: "Faster! We only have 40 seconds! yak yak yak....." The next thing i know. We started saying "Bye." To and fro. For like... erm.. was it four times? or more. Lol. Sweet. Lest you're wondering what ever happened to me- Here's what- Eating. Lotsssss. Reading. More than ever. Eating. Working. Eating. Yep. Eating non-stop. Out of the blue, I've this out-of-the-blue fetish for GREEN. Strange. Working at Penang Place. A restaurant owned by Uncle Paul and Auntie Hannah. Nice people. Most of the ppl there are Christians! All the better. I've never felt this glad to be working. Really great ppl i've come to know of. Feeding each other with ALOT of mouth-watering food. There's the manager-Leonard. Who totally resembles DICK Lee, except that Leonard's much younger and definitely NOT a homosexual. Zion. Glorious name but erm... skip the details. Alvin. Hippo who does the Back-breaking dance moves. Rachel. Sweet girl who feels like slapping Hippo (same sentiments). Auntie Dimple. you guessed it. Nice dimples. Auntie Patricia. Head chef Alvin's "wife". Mark Toobes. Half English, half Chinese. Cool. Jonathan. Not another Jonathan. Lance. More pleasant version of Kenrick. Still, the uncanny resemblance... Awesome. Debbie. Boss's eldest daugther. Sister to four younger sibling. WOW.
