Had a funny feeling this morning when I got up. Not any weird premonition or anything untoward. More like this feeling that hmm...today is a special day. Made myself sit down at my desk and I started counting the days off the calendar. Bingo.
It's our 500th day together!
Though abit sad that I did not get the chance to spend it with him. What a waste. Should have noted it down earlier...As I'm typing..the clock's ticking away.. our 500th day is gonna be over soon.
5 4 3 2 1....ok, it's officially our 501st day together already...
I made a promise to myself a few months back. Of what I will do on our 700th day. Gotta remember that.
He's out boozing with a bunch of friends now. Miss him alot suddenly. Alot. Just yearning for a reassuring hug and a kiss. Ones that will make me feel like even if the world crashes down on me, he'll be there to hold it up and protect me.

Gaining Lost Ground?
Am in a more subtle frame of mind. Simmered down after the initial boil-over.
Read the post on quarter-life crisis which Heng passed to me in his comment. Spot on. Spot on. Came across a similar one eons ago too.
http://volition.blogspot.com/2004/05/being-twenty-something.html
A particular sentence caught me and lingered in furrows of my mind.
"The stupid ones plateau, the smart ones rise."
Guess I belong to the former. Though believe you me, I would very much endeavour to cross the fence. Hmm...though the fence seems abit high for me to clamber over at the moment. Been trying. Gotta plant some hand-holds and foot-grips somewhere. Some conscious effort, hard work and patience is needed definitely.
It's true how alot of us are going through the same things, the same changes, the same feelings, the same insecurities, the same confusion, the same thoughts. Been through these conversations with different factions of people. Older ones who say they’ve been through all this and just to be patient cos time will just straighten things out. My peers who are in a similar disarray and floundering around. I suppose, it’s how you handle it that makes the difference. And weeds out the stupid ones from the smarter ones. And as the boss likes to put it, changes don’t wait for us to get accustomed to them; we have to keep changing the wheels of the car even while it is running.
I have always succumbed to asking the provincial question: WHY? Why do things happen as they do? Why are things this way and not that? Are we just puppets on a marionette? Some say it’s pointless questioning so. And I agree. Even if you are on an inexorable quest seeking for answers to your WHY question, who’s there to answer it anyway? But somehow, it always ends up that this same question reverberates though my mind, despite knowing full well I probably won’t get much answers anyway. And invariably, I would end up mulling over things. Bad habit. Debilitating to the soul. Tsk.
Another bad habit I possess which the article touched upon as well. I’m a clinger. I hold on to the past tenaciously. Sometimes, over-zealously. Gotta learn to let go, pick yourself up and move on. I find comfort in the old and familiar though I know too for a fact we have to let go at times in order to move on. A friend once gave me a keychain which I treasured a lot. It held an inscription which read “Look at the past, learn from it and move on.” How apt now when I think about it.
Obstacles are meant to be crossed, not sulked upon.
Look forward and trudge on.
Yeah. Shall not allow myself to wallow and roll on a plateau.
I will be a smart one, soon enough.
Conscious effort. Conscious effort.

miniscule rantings..
itchy finger...was fiddling with the html codes on my blog...darn...now my profile links and the archive links are all shifted down to the bottom of my blog page..have absolutely no idea how to bring the back to the right side of the page...help help!! anybody got any idea at all??
=============
there's so much irritating people out there who post spam comments on my blog...
any idea also how to get rid of them??
=============

any idea also how to get rid of them??
the story of the perpetual pessimist..
There once was a girl
Who loved to laugh and play
With all her pretty little friends
Ho-Hum they went
As they skipped and danced
And giggled and sang
As she grew older however
She laughed less
As morosity and pessimism
And uncertainty and fear
Grew their tentacles
And kept their vise on her
Let me be!
She cried angrily
Away with you monsters!
I want to laugh and dance
And be merry again
Go away and never come back!
Try as she might
Hard as she fought
It was hard to get rid of them
At certain times
She did get peace
And the motivation to carry on was strong
She met others who told her
Look into yourself
Dig deep down
Where doth your faith lie?
Where doth your strength come from?
Seek it and nurture it
Still seeking...
Still nurturing...
=====================
Thought I handled things pretty well the 2nd time round. Kept myself busy and tried not to think too much about anything..and well..just let things be..Then the delay just got my defences all down again..found myself sobbing last night..at the slightest thing. yeah...the emotional, irrational me.
so many pple are going overseas..xl n kym are going japan, celebrating xmas there..win going taiwan..oso spending xmas there...radio going to pakistan soon...the cet girls are gg bkk in nov..pq just came back from bkk..lydia just came back from hk..just hearing all these made me weep last night..i know..shallow thinking on my part...but then it's quite frustrating when u can't go and dunno when you can go..and then u hear of all these people going...and sharing their joy with you..(wtf..hmm..selfish of me..)
there's a lot of pent up energy within me..dunno why..i go to sleep restless. i wake up restless...i go through the motions of the day restless. hmm...frustrating. my forehead is clasped in a perpetual frown and i'm having tummyaches cos of my constant tenseness and grumpiness..am i i just stressing myself for no apparent reason? and it's driving me nuts...nothing much to do at home..watch tv, read book, surf net, read papers and you repeat the cycle all over again. and today's only tuesday? I still have 10 more days to go at least before 11th oct..
i wake up thinking...it's yet another day..damn how am i gonna spend this day?
shit..i have to wash myself clean of such thoughts..i can't allow myself to get down in the dumps again..argh..BUT there's nothing to keep myself occupied!! there's nothing to keep myself busy!!! there's nobody to keep my mind off things!! there's no work to do to keep my thoughts from wandering!!! there's no colleagues around to talk trash with you!!!
it's been a week since i last saw him..exactly a week..offered to come on sunday but flew my kite. disappointed but anw, he's not obligated.

love is??
Got this off National Geographic last night
~Love is like knotting a tie
Cos you'll never know how it will turn out
Sometimes you have to loosen it
Sometimes you have to tighten it
Sometimes you even have to re-knot it~
Thought it was interesting...
How people can always come up with analogies or personifications...
To better represent abstract feelings...
==================
~When I need you
I just close my eyes and I feel you
I hold out my hands and I touch you
You're here in my heart
Night and day~

Night and day~
I am but a puppet...
~Fate plays its hands...am a puppet left to dangle~
I really don't know what to say anymore. I cannot take unexpected turn of events. The op has been delayed again. AGAIN. That is the keyword. AGAIN. 3rd time. For the fucking 3rd time. And this time round, it's me. Cos I fell sick. Out of 2 whole months to fall sick, I have to fall sick 3 days before D-day. I just wanna bang my head against a wall.
It's frustrating. Now I'm at a loss of how to handle my leave. I can't possibly be going back to work for like 8-10 days, then running off again? Think I'll have to eat into my annual leave..And it's difficult having to tell others again that it's been delayed again...macham as if I'm playing a trick on them...I know it's not within my control..but tamade gan suay lor...the timing has to be so bloody zun...Pple have been sending sms wishes since morning...since last night even..it's tiring having to tell pple about it..needless to say frustrating having to repeat everything a thousand and one times.
I know ahboy will say "it's not within our control". And I know heng will say "ai zhai...". but I still can't help it..and mum is insisting that I try to change the date from 11th to 4th..cos 11th oct happens to be my lunar birthday. 9th day of lunar 9th month....arrggghhhhh....been bugging me...Please. Just spare me can?? Please? Just spare me.
Am leaking like a tap now. Just got shouted at. I'm on house arrest for the next 2 weeks. What the fuck? What the god-damn fuck??? %^$#^##!!%&~**~^(&
And I'll be spending my birthday in hospital. My 25th birthday. My quarter of a century brthday. How sweet. How exciting. And oh..How refreshing. Yeah.
I really can't help ranting now. Is 2005 a test for me?
I mean..things have just been going haywire after CNY. Home PC crashed on me, office laptop crashed on me, old handphone crashed on me, lost my new handphone, work ain't very smooth either, collapsed in office, got this stupid medical condition, need to go for op, need to be on medication everyday, op kena delayed 3 times, drifting apart from family, more arguments with ahboy, more quarrels with friends, blah blah..
I'm losing faith..
If everything happens for a reason...please enlighten me...what might that reason be??

retrospect : thursday night's story...
suddenly remembered the angst I experienecd on Thursday evening..and felt I had to pen it down..but the feeling's subsided already...so all that is penned down is probably just a teeny fraction of what i really felt that day...
somewhere along the line as the days go by ever since graduation...somehow..someday..it ended up that i was usually the one who organised gatherings for the uni gang..this time round was no exception..perhaps the baton should really be handed over to daniel..cos i'm quite sick of doing it already...y am i sick n tired of it? i mean..don't get me wrong here. i'm really glad that there are the regulars who turn up..and there are those who turn up even though for a short while..at least they make the effort to turn up and show abit of face as promised. And then there are those too who even though they are busy, they still make the effort to come...
But there are others. Others who promise that they'll turn up. And fly your kite at the last bend. Others who get your hopes up high..only to slam you down on the ground with a last minute sms to say "sorry i can't make it". Others who say "ya ya of course i will turn up" and when the time comes, they've gone MIA without even a single call from them. Others who promise the sky and heavens and at the end of the day, what you get is just an empty broken eggshell. And still, there are others..who do not wish to commit whether they can or cannot..and just give you "neither-here-nor-there" answers...
I booked a table for 18-20 pax. 10 or 11 turned up. Half the headcount. 50% dropout/ MIA/ fly-kite rate. How sweet. I remember calling daniel up...and the poor soul had to listen to me screaming over the phone..and hmm..was so irritated that there were cuss words flying around..
I implore you. Please. If you cannot commit, just say you cannot. Period. Don't give me any crap about how you will try to make it if possible...blah blah..It seriously hurts less if you just tell me upfront that you cannot make it. And it seriously makes for easier planning.
The one thing I cannot stand most is having my hopes up high and then having them dashed to pieces.
Throwing in my towel. Raise the white flag please.

god-damn uncanny...really don't know what to say..kinda at a loss for words...is it really fated? got up today..with my mumps swollen and by afternoon..was running a fever of 38.1...highest it climbed to was 38.3 at CGH A&E dept...it's since gone down to 37.3 to 37.5 thereabouts...and i've not had a fever for a very very long time..years in fact...and it has to occur now. 3 days before my op.
Just really hope the fever will totally subside before the op...seriously praying hard for it not to be affected..else i'll just scream my head off.
feel abit "cheated"...i booked tix for me n ahboy already...for two shows at PS "The Longest Yard" & "Cinderella Man"..had to gv both a miss...and ahboy ended up going home..with no place to go..there goes my $40 bucks..*poof*
Mum just sponged me..with lotsa TLC & cold cold ice...feel like an overgrown baby..haa.
hmm..must remember to set alarm..getting up at 4am for my medicine..
*praying hard*

Love the way your eyes crinkle
Love the way you laugh
Love your nose
Love it when you're around me
Love the silly grins you make
Love the brain sitting within your head
Love the narcissist in you
Love your side profile
Love your smart ass remarks
Love the way you look when you're sound asleep
Love the way you look when you just got up
Love it when you run your fingers through my hair
Love your smell
Love the way you swagger with confidence
Love it when you are at your gentle times
Love it when your dimples flash
Love it when you drop me sms-es
Love it when you buzz me and ask me how's things
Love the way you drive
Love it when you smell my hair
Love it when we kiss
Love the way you roll up your sleeves
Love the way it feels when I hug you
Love your wit
Love you...

thursday was my last day in office..that is till i'm back with a vengeance in november ...haa...well..the intern came in on wednesday..she seems pretty dao..questions are answered with monosyllables and no smiles..other questions or comments are met with ultra sceptical raises of the eyebrow...like as if you're the one asking dumb questions..wtf is this kind of attitude?? simply puts me off..like as if we owe her big time...
hmm..find it abit of a waste..just when i was getting to get along better with allan..then it's time to go off on my hiatus..

alienation...
Am feeling a tad alienated..don’t wish to speak too much or anything…just wanna be by myself…quietly hanging out in my own space…can’t do that on Sundays though..bro, dasao & marc are here…and my room becomes the centre of activity..cos that’s where marc’s toys are kept…can’t listen to my music..can’t chill by myself…and I’ll get irritated by the gurgles, shouts and screams..that is..till 2plus when they leave….
But nah..today’s a slightly different story..marc didn’t wanna go home..so bro n dasao left him here…hope I don’t get too disturbed haa…
Hmm…yeah…alienation is the word…can’t connect with them as much as I used to be able to…sighz…when I’m at home…I just don’t feel like talking...attempts at conversation will be met with short responses from me…and sometimes curt ones..know it’s not right of me..and know it’s definitely not fair of me…and know it’s not polite of me…but somehow can’t help it…it’s like as if I’m re-living teenage angst in my mid-twenties…
But I also try lah..to engage in some conversations which are more cheery…perhaps the focus in our lives are all too different?? Me being the youngest, I still wanna have my fun and all…whereas mum n dad are in a different era…and bro n dasao are in the stage of life where building a family nest is the all important key…
Marc’s just gone off for a nap in mum n dad’s room…peace for the moment…the solitude within my own four walls is reassuring…can’t help wondering...think I’ve built up the barrier myself..fencing myself from their side of the pasture…holing myself up...hmm…

senseless mutterings...haaa....
this is what happens if you're not out on a saturday night..you end up hiding in your room..with the PC as your constant companion..and music as salvation to your soul...and blogspot as your outlet for senseless mutterings...lotsa scattered thoughts...
=================

sighz...where am i heading in my own career path? just wondering how things will possibly pan out? the risk-averse me?? the tak-garang me? the...??...focus is def on $$ and exposure..my learning curve has definitely room for expansion..but i'm not getting to learn much...don't have a proper mentor to guide me along...what i have are bosses who do things themselves or bosses who ain't clear on their own direction...will things be different when i move more into WSH? hope so...a different ball game altogether...and a different reporting officer...hmm....sighz..

retrospect...
tried to post something on Thursday whilst in office...then the blospost server wasn't too friendly..when I clicked "post"...it redirected me to a "Requested Page Cannot Be Found" apge...and whatever I typed...was gone to the world forever...darn...still remember my first reaction was "har?"...followed by "tamade" and then "%^*&$*60%^&".....couldn't do much about it cos i had to rush off for dinner appointment liaos...
Shall attempt to re-enact what I typed that day...though think it would have lost almost 80% of its original essence...
=================
yiyong called me up from the Sates on Wednesday to ask how I was doing and also about the impending op...quite touched... =) haa...that wu gui actually remembered...dumbo..so late liao still haven't sleep..called me at 2am his time...
apparently he just came back from a mission a few days ago...kena activated to go help evacuate people from New Orleans with his Chinook helicopter...shared with me that it was quite a tiring experience..not to mention an emotional one..there was this lady who was hanging onto him, refused to let go..kept asking him to look for her husband and kid...but what could he do?? sigh..we are mere specks in this vast world...
haa...this fella...told me he did the mission for my sake..to help me accumulate more charity points in the eyes of god...so that he'll protect me in the face of anything...also told me he was praying for me everyday...awww.....so sweet.....haa....also made me promise to call him on his bday..7th October...10 days older than me...made a pact...will buzz him at 1pm SG time...over there it'll be 12am sharp..haa..=) 13 hours diff...
the only thing was that I couldn't help him with his problem...with that girl...sorry bro...these things..difficult to advise also..there's just so much uncertainty and probability and various permutations of how things might turn out...
wonder why matters of the heart are so complex at times?? you like someone...that someone is attached..but you're having such a great time with that someone...and that someone likes you too...and the world goes round and round...and the sun turns into the moon day in and day out...
==================
went for a kaya toast break on wednesday afternoon..whilst outside..received an sms from brian...told me he got me "poison" and left it on my desk..."poison" = our lingo for kopi or teh...caffeine...yada yada...helps lift someone out of boredom and monotony....
then when I went back to my desk..piangzz...i was expecting to see either kopi or teh..and it turned out to be a full box of chicken essence instead!! ...gosh...was damn touched man...and so paiseh....thanked him profusely later when i saw him at 6th floor...aiyooo....so paiseh...he said i should start drinking tonics to "boost" my health...haa...
ahboy says i should get him something in return...hmm...and then it'll morph into a never-ending cycle...hmm..haa...

received a call this afternoon...touched...devina...apparently she saw my blog and found out about the op..then gave me a buzz to chk out things are going..haa...sweet...simply sweet....put a smile on my face despite the bad day i was having...
=============
changed my msn sub-nick to "small thing blow big or big thing blow small"...didn't think much about it till ah-heng msg-ed me...haha..then i realissed..oh ya hor...sounds kinda crude..haha...changed it immediately....well..what i wanted to convey was this.."making a mountain out of a molehill or making a molehill out of a mountain"...
hmm....fodder for thought...
=============

once the precedence has been set..does that mean it's ok for expectations to be of that same level... a year down the road? does that mean that there's no room for slack? or does that mean that expectations should be even higher cos the committment is stronger?
trying my best not to repeat what happened last year. What an anti-climax. TRYING is the key word..but things are not turning out like what I expected..who's to say? definitely not me. feel abit agitated.
felt maligned on 16th sept 2004...partly my fault, and definitely not entirely. but nevertheless, I was still blasted at big time. and as 16th sept 2005 approaches...well...sighz...trying is the keyword..but am directionless. abit give up..just tell me what to do, where to go...and i'll just do so...
or am i just a petty piece of shit who also does not like to share?
vexed
to the max

=====================

=====================
getting shacked out..walking around with droopy lids...everyday seems to be a blur..just whizzing by...get up..go to work..then after work..there's just so many appointments and meet-ups and gatherings to go to..esp when so many pple want to cram themselves into my schedule before D-day...
=====================
looking forward to friday...taking leave...envision it to be a slow lazy day with ahboy...

Wake Me Up When September Ends
...or when it's ending...
27th Sept..D-day...two and a half more weeks to go..think i'll literally wake up from the GA late on the 27th itself...and be stuck in ICU for at least 2 more days...which makes it....almost end of sept..
waiting...just waiting...

waiting...just waiting...
But when the time comes...
There are so many things
I come across daily
Which I wanna share with you
At the end of the day
But when the time comes
I forget all about it
Or am too tired to remember
There are other times
After I experience something
When I just wanna sms you
To share my joy or sadness
But when the time comes
I'm afraid of disturbing you
And that sms message remains purely in my mind
There are times too
When I am all ready, set, go
To hear you and speak to you
Just before I hit the sack
But when the time comes
It's an anti-climax cos you're a step ahead
And already snuggled up
There are instances
When I'm alone
I think of all which I wanna say to you
And all which I wanna blast at you
But when the time comes
Somehow all those words
Are beyond me
And my throat all but utters nothing
Argh. It's frustrating.

I think of all which I wanna say to you
And all which I wanna blast at you
But when the time comes
Somehow all those words
Are beyond me
And my throat all but utters nothing
Argh. It's frustrating.

tired & pissed off
tamade dulan. sms, no reply. msn, no reply. sms again, no reply. it's always the same thing. it's no wonder why things didn't work out between us last time. AT ALL. fuck off for all i care. if cannot meet, just say cannot meet. if busy, just say busy. dun leave me hanging like a bloody rabbit. this thing was said like days ago. till now never confirm anything. i'm not a beck and call either.
swear i'm so bloody bloody pissed. pissed to point my throat's constricting on me.
====================
am tired. dragged myself home after class. and just collapsed on the bed..amidst my bag and jacket and pillows...then dozed off for like 20 minutes..jerked awake and forced myself up for a bathe..feel better now...in terms of cleanliness but not in terms of mood though..tmr will be another busy day preparing for ICP launch...

little things...
whilst standing amidst the battlezone on the MRT this rainy morning...i saw a sight that kept me amused from Tampines till Eunos...there was this lady..prolly in her mid-twenties...plain-looking, complexion not so good...was doing her make-up in the train...the full works man..started off with concealer..dabbing here n there...holding onto her anna sui compact powder mirror...followed by the powder itself...more dabbings...then blusher....then eyeshadow...then lipgloss...
was wondering whether she'll be putting on mascara...on a moving train..and voila, she whipped out her mascara and started applying it...wow..really admire her steady hands man..haa...
================
besieged by rattlings from the moment i stepped into office..left, right, up, down, centre...my MP3 player has become my source of refuge...and my faithful companion in times of need...listening to kevin kern now...soft n soothing..appropriate for a rainy, dozy, lazy day like this...
damn..how to get the rattling to stop???? *help*...as it is, i'm already sitting here quietly doing my stuff..then i get dragged into conversations...i've already given a face to show i dun wanna tok...that i just want to sit here n do my job. argh.
================
realised that i can just take a glance at him and it'll bring me a funny little warmth..or a silly grin... =)

my own abode...*dreamz*
yearning for a place of my own..yeah, i know... mummy dearest won't be there to fuss over me..food won't be readily available..i'll have to pay for my own PUB bills...i'll have to kill roaches myself...i'll have to clean my own toilet bowl..and scrub my own grime off the toilet walls..not that i haven't done it before..hell.. hostel took up 3 years of my life...think i can handle it..
hmm..2 years time..is that realistic? ..I dunno...think i'm just blardy hell day-dreaming..can't be leaving them here in this house..and moving out on my own..unless of cos i'm a mrs so-and-so by then...still...it pays to dream...even if it's fleeting happiness, it still holds a vision of where you wanna be...self-delusion some may say...but well..i love to dream...
my own sanctuary..white tiled floors (would love parquet but it's too high maintenance)...cream curtains..cream leather sofa (faux perhaps? haa..)...dark brown wooden furniture..small cute kitchen with a grey fridge..a whole load of cabinets to store pots n pans, food, etc..and a fantastic stove system..a counter top..and a side section walled with bricks to give it a homely feel..
part of the living room area doubling up as a chill-out area for friends during gatherings.. complete with brown-coloured tatamis and comfy red cushions or beanbags..a low dark brown coffee table long and zen-like....clean lines and simple angles..clean-cut and easy to maintain..definitely a mini audio system for one who can't do without music..a mini balcony with a small section cordoned off for yet another chill-out area..perchance with a small side table for smoking friends to lay their ciggies..and this would be where my pet chihuahua would play her day away...hmm..even possible to have a hanging cocoon chair hanging from the ceiling..those kind which can suspend in mid-air, held by a chain attahced to the ceiling...
the bedroom..ah..a lovely queen-sized bed occupies the centre of the room..with a dark brown wardrobe lining one of the side walls...comes with sliding doors for easy access...dark brown dressing table..huge mirror..haa...light brown curtains...with mini motifs/patterns...need not be fanciful..ikea sells wonderful fix-it-up-yourselves type of curtain railings... there needs to be a mini TV in the room for snuggle-up days when you don't feel like leaving the bed..the bed needs to have a comforter, quilt cover..whatever you name it...i love to snuggle up and hide under the covers...
the attached bathroon..beige non-slip tiled flooring..would love a bathtub but quite ex..haa...simple shower will do too..glass partition to separate the shower...light brown or beige toilet bowl..same colour for the sink..mirror lining and towel railings to be same colour too...yada yada...
gosh...the mechanics of the mind..am dead tired..perhaps that's why i'm hallucinating about all these...tsk tsk..signing off.

love at first sight?
front page main feature article in sunday life today...talking about how some couples met and fell in love at first sight..and how these couples really love each other and are still married to each other after 10 years...blar blar..how they knew he/she was THE ONE just by that first glance...
asked ahboy just now..what were his thoughts when he first laid eyes on me? si gin na..gave a huge groan like i just asked a dumbass question and said he couldn't remember cos it was so long ago and said it was duh to ask such questions....very long ago meh?? 1.5 yrs...ok mah...what was supposed to be a romantic question turned out to be a stick-in-the-mud type of thing..sometimes i wonder why do i even bother to ask if i know i will end up just slamming myself against the wall...sigh, can't one allow herself some hope of at least some romance anymore?
well.. perhaps i'm the sucker for romance...the one who dreams of castles in the air..the sentimental one...cos i still remember catching his eyes when i was walking past the counter out of the office...he was behind the counter..in the dark blue jacket..and when i walked past, he looked up...bingo..gazes locked...and my little heart was zapped to the core..
exhilaration, shyness, excitement, heart pumping, curiosity...u name it... :)

...mortality...
small world...was leafing through janice's blog and just popped over to see her bf's blog too. discovered tt he knew fengji too and even left a memorial entry for him...and i even saw chloe's comment on one of his blog entries....SG=small small world..someone invariably knows somebody else...
the memorial blog was...how should i say it? not particularly touching. nor was it particularly emotional. but it managed to hit my heartstrings. tygrr, being the good writer that he is...penned down his thoughts so clearly, i felt i was one with him.
it's true, what would prompt a young 23yr-old to end his life? he had a great future ahead of him..he was in his final year of studies....what great problem confounded him to such an extent? could he not have sought the help of others? what was it that troubled him so greatly that he could not even share with those closest to him? he was the only son and just a semester away from graduating with honours..
such is life..the fragility of it..i have not had any experience of anyone close to me who has passed on. with the exception of zain and uncle benny who both died of cancer..reading that entry has somehow opened up a cupboard of thoughts which i shelved long ago...thoughts that yes, someday..soon maybe...my granny will move on...how will i take it? how will i react to it?
i remember a night, very long ago...when adrian was 18 or 19 and i was just 14 or so..he came into my room, all red-eyed and puffy..sniffing nose..asked him what's wrong..and he asked me.."Have you ever thought of when mama would die?" i was young, i was ignorant. of course i knew the facts of mortality but it was definitely not one of the things one would give heed to at that age. i told him no..and also, i didn't know how to comfort him, my big strong brother who was sniffling..he walked out of my room..
it was only much later that i could grasp the significance of it all..and understood what he was thinking about..and that same question was running through my head when she was hospitalised last year...and it was running through my head just now when i was reading that entry...
told ahboy about this last year when i was having those thoughts..and being the practical realist that he is..all he said was... aiyah.. these kind of things can't be helped one mah...think so much now for what? yada yada....damn, tearducts are gearing up for action again...

one of those silly things..
Your Birthdate: October 17 |
Your birth on the 17th day of the month suggests that you are very lucky financially, because this date indicates a solid business sense. Although you are probably very honest and ethical, this birthday enables you to be shrewd and successful in the world of business and commercial enterprise. You have excellent organizational, managerial, and administrative capabilities enabling you to handle large projects and significant amounts of money with relative ease. You are ambitious and highly goal-oriented, although you may be better at starting projects than you are at finishing them. A sensitivity in your nature, often repressed below the surface of awareness, makes it hard to give or receive affection. |
bullshit..tried a few of these things before already..and they all say similar things...but i don't see it being apparent in real life....the only thing accurate is probably the part about being honest and ethical..and perhaps paragraph 3..but paragraph 3 only reminds me of my heydays in hostel as a Dinner and Dance chairperson..and nothing else.

stoned, bruised and battered saturday...
abit of an exaggeration..but well..I really have some bruises la...haa...both my forearms and both wrist areas..was trying my best at beach volleyball..ahboy and kel being my shifus...bruised right foot too..playing beach soccer for awhile..haa...found myself panting heavily and having abosolutely zilch ball sense...(hmm..unless you're talking about ahem..other types...haahaaa...)

friday's summary...
Started the day by being dragged into a 3-hr meeting for WSH..well..the monkey can really talk and talk and talk...couldn't believe it..one thing lead to another..which lead to yet other stuff still..
Lunch in the pantry was abit of a chore yday..eardrums were bursting..and i think i looked pretty bored...wonder if anyone noticed? i was trying to keep the decibel level down...to no avail of course...
And last night was a blur haha..went for the SUN DnD....and well..think Steve looked pretty good...didn't get to talk to him though..and felt abit insignificant when Val gave me a cursory greeting...ah well, perhaps she was busy...Spent some time with radio gossipping about some people's clothing..hmm..to be frank..sometimes dunno what to do but just listen and smile..hypocrital? *wonders*...
Left early to rush to meet win & kok..=) haha...tried to find a nice pub which was not too smoky and which was "expectant-mothers" friendly...ahhaa...felt like the 3 dumb stooges..walking up and down circular road...finally settled for La Samba..a small joint..not atas at all but not too cheesy either...(plus point which was to be discovered ltr in the night, they play David Tao & Jacky Cheung songs....=p)
talked rot with win n the uncle for more than an hour before ahsan n wife came...wife was okay mah..but well..words of exagerration are to be taken with a pinch of salt..and a huge discount..chloe n jen came ltr..=) didn't dua me..haha...

Started 1st September and ended 1st Sept on a not so good note...ah well..we move on to better days ahead...
Didn't expect this week to be a busy week..but well..it turned out to be..am out everyday of the week..think mum, dad n gran don't recognise me anymore..think the only day for rest would be Sunday? Next week is gonna be busy too...Am looking forward to tonight's chill-out session though...=) and the manhattan lunch..
Just wondering if the dream was a form of betrayal?
Evaluating my job status..don't think i will switch this year...next year? hmm...
Somehow blogging has morphed into a seemingly weird way of letting me jot down my frequently random thoughts...and for letting me vent my anger, disappointment, hurt n frustrations too...Wanna write more but think my brain's fried for today..kinda zapped out from everything...
*zzz*

my gf...
went out with pq just now...for that short while...hope she's feeling better...after the 3 pairs of shoes...and incessant ramblings from me...haa...
well...it's tough on her..but she's a strong babe..admire her resilience and strength and reason...she'll pull through...
wanted to hug her just now..but well..guess we're not exactly an affectionate bunch..haha...

upset..
A colleague made this comment to me: "My first impression of you was that you're a bimbo...and till now, that impression hasn't changed." And to me, I don't think that person was joking. At least at that point in time I don't think the person was joking at all.
I'm seriously upset. Really.
=================
And it doesn't help that I kena suan always. I'm not a petty person. Trust me, I can take jibes and ribbings and jokes. Harmless ones, dirty ones...you name it. I'm might be soft but I'm game for things. But there are still boundaries to respect and though a person's limit can be stretched, it's elasticity is not infinite either.
=================
I find it hard to say no. Especially to friends. I care too much about what others think or might think. Maybe that's why sometimes I'm caught in undesirable situations. Like spending a whole night at an MLM session or spending 1.5 hrs listening to a financial adviser's session.
Is this a bad trait? Hell, think I've improved over the past 2 years. I'm still like that but much less.
=================
I'm touched. He bothered to sms to ask if everything is okay and told me to drop a msg when I'm back. But I'm simmering too. Was yelled at, well kind of..
hmm...guess there's always two sides to a coin. Take it or leave it.
==============
It's september already. Counting down. Hope I have the strength and courage to hold my head up high.
Oh God, guide me pls.
