CURRYPOKER'S RAMBLINGS

Disney • Pixar’s BRAVE

BRAVE IS FINALLY GOING TO BE RELEASED ON 8TH AUG :D

I have been waiting for this film since forever, and to be honest, the trailer looks really interesting and exciting. So when nuffnang decides to hold this contest for nuffnangers, I grabbed this opportunity to participate in order to win tickets to the gala premiere of BRAVE. :)

Like Merida, we all have our share of heroines and heroes in our life. When facing difficult situations circumstances in life, these heroines/heroes would appear at the nick of time to save us from the problem.

In March this year, I went on a skiing trip in Korea. We were all so psyched up for the trip, as it was everyone's first skiing experience. Skiing was always on my bucket list, so I was super excited and geared up for the trip. After arriving at the skiing equipment rental shop, we were required to choose our skis and ski boots. It was everyone's first trying to wear the bulky boots, so we had a hard time trying to learn how to wear our skis.

Once we changed into our winter ski coats, we excitedly hopped onto the ski slopes and tried to wear our ski boots and skis. It was a difficult feat, which involved everyone falling after immediately wearing our skis. After a few tries, just when i thought i could finally wear my ski on my own, I happened to be facing the slope in the wrong position, and started lurching forward immediately. After traveling a few feet at top speed, I fell flat, really hard on my head (OUCH!) , my ski landed some distance away from me, and my head was burning literally. A few koreans asked me how i was, as they heard me screaming really loud a few minutes ago. I told them i was feeling okay, but inside of me, my head was dizzy and my stomach was tied in knots. A korean ahjusshi started to teach me how to ski the right way, that i was to keep my legs close together, and to face each other in a V-shape. He was the first hero that day, that helped me up to my skis and taught me how to ski properly.

I continued to try and ski slowly as I was afraid the same thing could happen to me again. Soon after, the ski patrol team saw us struggling at the ski slopes, and each patroller decided to help each one of us. They slowly held our hands and guide us slowly as we took each baby step to the foot of the hill. After much practice, I'd decided that I got the hang of skiing, and decided to take the ski lift up to challenge the slopes again.

It seemed so fun after learning the basic techniques of skiing, and I was having the time of my life trying to navigate slowly down the slope. We skiied till 9:30, and the patrol team said we need to speed up as they closed the ski slopes at 10pm. So some of my friends decided to take the shortcut which leads back to our ski resort. Me and two other friends decided that we still wanted to ski down the entire slope, as we still haven't got enough of skiing yet.

We continued to ski happily, I was skiing behind them while they picked up more speed. I was on the far right while they were on the far left. Just when I was totally enjoying myself, I heard my friend shouted "charis, be careful, don't lean to the right, the advanced slopes are over there." I replied, okay and slowly try to make my way to their side.

However, when I was about to adjust my position, my feet decided to line themselves in straight position, making me plunge forward. I think that was probably the scariest experience in my life. I just felt myself going so fast that I don't know how and when will I stop, it felt like a neverending freefall experience, except the wind was going so fast and cold, that I was shivering non-stop. I tried to turn to a gradual slope so that I can fall with greater ease. SO I FELL EXTREMELY HARD LIKE MY BONES IS GOING TO BREAK ANYTIME. it was a scary experience as i'd realized with horror that I fell really near the edge, and if i fell further, there was a high possibility that i would fell off the cliff.

The last few ski-ers skiied/snowboarded past me, as I tried really hard to get back on my ski to travel down the slope, as they were closing really soon. And then i'd realized that even if i got back on to my skis, I might face the possibility of FALLING because that slope was really no joke. At that point, i'd realized i was stranded at that very spot and really wanted to cry. it might sound exaggerated, but at that point, it was such a scary experience.

Just then, I heard the sound of the a ski-er skiing down the slope, my friends had called the patrol team to rescue me. MY hero appeared. :) He picked up my skis, piggybacked me and skiied all the way down the slope. I was super happy because I really thought I might get stuck there the whole night. And when he piggybacked me down the slope, I got a taste of how skiing should be like, because it was such a nice comfortable speed.

After reaching the foot of the slope, they sent me on a ski motorbike, and another hero drove me to my ski resort, it was such a nice feeling to be rescued and saved, that the traumatic experience before that seemed nothing. :)

After several death experiences, I survived. :D

YAY! achievement unlocked: we conquered skiing. :)

It was such an enjoyable experience, and I really thank God for such a professional and dedicated patrol team WHOM saved my life. They were the heroes of the skiing experience, and picked all of us up when we fell down and taught us to ski the right way. :)

I'm sure Brave is as exciting as my skiing experience. Watch how the heroine conquer her enemies and overcome difficult situations ahead of her.

I'm sure the trailer has got you all excited and psyched up for the movie. :D

HEARTS LEOPARD PREENTS :)

musings of currypoker

Talking can be therapeutic, the fastest way in the healing process.
I realized I like to discuss about my life, it helps to reflect on the things that i've gone through these 19 years, and how i can improve on in the future. Hopefully, by the time i've looked back in life, i would have gained much experiences from it and mature and grow up from all these falls.

A cell sister told me the other day that she was experiencing depression probs. I realized that it was only a years back ago that I experienced this craziest and the worst periods of my life. I could vividly recall the feelings of rejection, disturbing thoughts, and loss.

the life of abnomalacy, and you feel like your mind and your thoughts doesn't belong to you. negative thoughts flood your mind everyday, you're unable to escape from this deep black hole. It's only after a while that i realized that that was called a spiritual attack, something that the devil does to stray you away from God. And whenever such things ever try to happen again, i try to block out these thoughts. I realized it's easier to distract yourself from such thoughts than to counter-attack it. Never ever entertain these thoughts, you may just let yourself fall into the trap that the devil has planned.

It was only recently that these feelings come back to me, and I'm really afraid that I'm unable to overcome the depressive spirit in me. today, i went for a radio talkshow at 100.3, which was hosted by my dad's friend, kong huai. It's a sunday night show which he hosts every week, and discusses family societal issues with guest speakers occassionally. We were invited to be guest speakers to discuss about my mom's death, which was a really good way for me to release my thoughts and feelings regarding this topic. I realized I have never ever said so much about my mom's death before, then I realized again, that's because no one asked. Everyone is so afraid that they touch the nerve(wrong) spot when they try to approach you regarding this topic, when actually, we're rather open about it. In fact, I read it somewhere that family members who have lost their loved ones recently should try to find appropriate channels to release their stress and emotions through talking it out with their friends or relatives.

haha. okay. comp low batt xia. !

~i want a soothing beatifiul voice~

STYLE ROOKIE TAVI!

TAVI- the 14-year old style rookie who is the new-age satorialist, absolutely adores her down-to-earth straightforward style of writing, and her crazy, adventurous, amazing FASHION SENSE. .. i swear she's the only 14-year-old around that can pull off vintage that perfectly.:)

THUMBSUP!.. absolutely adores TAVI!!

L.O.V.E?

you know the feeling when you see someone, and your heart just starts to pump very fast. You want to keep looking and ogling at the person, but you're afraid that he will realize you're staring at him.. .and all the mixed feelings of wanting to know more about himm.. so on and so forth.. anws, the feelings did last for a period of time, but will END after the short period is UP. .LOL, then you will wonder why you ever ever like that person in the first place after all. .

That's how currypoker felt today. .she looked at the birthday boy today, and wondered to herself why did she ever ever ever had a crush on the birthday boy.. .and she only realized in recent years that this is termed as infatuation, which is a short-term disease that is curable if you do not let yourself fall too deep.

She hopes that this feeling will gradually stop this year when she is unable to see her eye-candy at alll this year. .><

GOODBYE INFATUATION, HELLO LOVE <3

LEOPARD + ZEBRA PREENTS = fashion hazard?

Remember her?
The girl who stole the limelight with her leopard and zebra preents, and her making a loud statement with her BOOMZ and SHINGZ.. .

Apparently she caused an uproar within the fashion community, and also stirred up a controversy that LEOPARD + ZEBRA PREENTS belong to that of the ahlian, and is doomed to be a fashion disaster. .

LIKE THIS!:

DISASTROUS! GHYFUYAFFYUIOIOJ!.
and when i decided to wear a prettaye chiffon leopard dress with black sequins, i was faced with objections from friend R and J.

R: ehhh. not very safe to wear ahh.. will end up looking like RIS LOW ah.
J: safer not to wear la, people may laugh ><

hopefully the satorialist will help to do justice for animal preents that was in last year's season. :)

and a feast for the eyes:

OOHLALA_BOOMZ:)
