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...)

had a simply spicy dinner at Thai Express..been a long while since I had Thai food..kinda refreshing..was actually hoping that perhaps we might pop by Tiong Bahru...gian to eat my chwee kueh...and cheng ting...been a long time..

Hung around PS and the whole bunch of us just zombied arouond in Carrefour for pretty long..went though every aisle..haa..nice to just do such brainless stuff..non-zapping to the brain..

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

It gets disappointing when things done or things said are not reciprocated..or am i just a self-centered bitch who's being too picky?

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...

kilkenny..woohoo...gave in to temptation and just whack..took 2 mugs yday..more than what i've ever taken since i started my medication..was considering whether to take a 3rd mug..but by then it was already almost time to go home...not to mention that dad already sms-ed me to nag at me...yeah, naughty naughty..can't wait for things to get well..and get my health back..then can stay out late and booze till silly...when will that day come?...

slow afternoon...

melancholy in mid-afternoon....comes with the weather? i dunno.

should have brought my MP3 today. Need to shut out alot of noise around me..absolutely distracting...and well..someone's giving me a headache...yakking non-stop loudly..there should be a volume control. Did God consider that when he created us? Gosh...another voice has come up...

Missed my lunch date with the rest cos me, win n zen stuck in a meeting..lunch outing cancelled..abit upset..thought we could have a nice little gathering..think next week plan again..sigh..if i have the energy...

Trying to settle meet-ups with people..b4 i go for my hiatus..left jason and mj...maybe can jio chief out for makan or something too, since he 'complained' to crowey that i never go and look for him...haa...

so funny..lilac just asked if i was dressed to kill..haaa..

i've got cracked heels...dry feet...callouses...man oh man...need to do some serious work here...

... ... ...

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*

dream big?

dream big..

I wanna be an archaelogist...solving mysteries and finding the roots of civilisation...
I wanna be a rockstar...and have millions of fans screaming with me, for me...

....thursday....

4th day of the week already...how time flies...

am sitting at my desk burping..just munched down 3 sotong balls..and a cup of apple-orange juice...=) my lunch..looking forward to the Yakun date later with the girls..half-boiled eggs!! woohoo!!

miss my baby...=)

sighz...will miss superstar ltr..though can tape lah, but wun get to see it real-time..the lesson had better be a enriching one...and it better be faster-paced.....chee cheong fun for dinner again for me ltr...with milo as accompaniement...

wow....only 1pm...seems like a long time has passed...have at least 9-10 hrs more before I will reach home...

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.

incessant midday ramblings...

conclusion is..take things as they are...reading too much into things will just complicate it all...
be happy, be content...be simple, be sweet...and life'll be so much more easier...

be cool, be calm...be steady, be composed...and things will be so much more lighter and manageable...

: )

what you see is what you get..I am what I am...if you do not like what you see...then buzz off...muahahhaa.....

midday ramblings...you can tell...how my mood is!!! hahhaa.....crab, crap?? woohoo!!

Simply You..

You make my heart flutter
When you reach for my hand
When you look into my eyes
When you just smile at me...

You blow me away
When you reach to hug me
When you whisper in my ear
When you just caress my hair...

You make me smile
When you have your silly antics
When you send me a message
When you just call to say hello

3 little words or sometimes just 2
Hope I don't spout them too often
For it is not of my intent
To make them lose their shine

Just those few words
Spoken with clarity
And presented to you
With the honesty of my heart

=======================
Hmm....feel there is a still a fence I have yet to cross?
A barricade I have yet to conquer? *ponders*... :)

so late still blogging???

Never knew
I had the capacity for such feelings
Of such varying spectrums
Till I met you

Love, happiness, contentment..
Disappointment, anger, wrath..
Bliss, excitement, delight..
Anticipation, eagerness, callousness..
Uncertainty, anxiousness, fear..
Hope, jealousy, faith..
Candidness, openness, joyfulness..
Paranoia, insecurity, worry..
Confusion, meekness, gratification..
Affection, lust, pleasure..
And the list goes on...

A means to an end?
Guess you brought out the best and worst in me..
Sides of myself I never knew existed..

==================
spent 1/3 of the working day chatting on MSN....find myself disgusting..and quite non-value-adding to the company..gosh...chatting abt bouncing titties and vibrating nipples..haa..not forgetting kissing and chewing....was luffing my head off..trying to do it in silent mode though cos was in an office environment...imagine the level of difficulty....(gal, u make me laugh man..haha...the things we tok about...=p)

went for the photoshop class..woohoo..interesting..looking 4wd to the next class on mon...aik lee told me to kope the software from brian..perhaps can kope flash and dw too...hmm...=) see if my charm can work or not..haa..

she's right too..what's a r/p if you can't express yourself fully & totally? and are burdened with the concern of what the other party will feel? sighz..ah well...one of the perils of life..guess it's these little things that add colour/spice to one's otherwise drab, mundane existence..i cun unknot myself...argh...

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

random thoughts...

I am thankful for...
Having a roof over my head,
Being able to have my meals,
Being able to breathe and laugh and smile...

I am thankful for...
Having found a guy I simply adore,
Being able to love,
Being loved in return...


I am thankful for...
Having a family who cares,
Being able to walk,
Being able to run and job and skip...

I am thankful for...
Having my friends around me,
Being able to drink,
Being able to sing and dance and be merry...

Yes, I am thankful.

=================
Fun though tiring day at TechEd...was talking cock with ahsan, kok, lian n pui for most of the whole afternoon...think ahsan n kok are pretty easy to get along with..haa..didn't realise kok's got such a tendency to be crappy too...haha....the "cow down the hill" was the ultimate joke of the day man...haha...kantang version..

wham bham slam...

"Acceptance, not resignation, is a beautiful thing to have....Insecurities still comes once in a while, the same with self-consciousness, emptiness, confusion and doubts about your destiny and future. It bothers, it disturbs, but it never eats me up."

Got this from a friend's blog...(hope you don't mind ya gal)...But the first sentence just hit me with a wham...kinda like a "half-full, half-empty" paradox type of statement...threw me off my feet...just felt it was powerful...and well...as to insecurities and doubts and confusion...hmm...seems like they are still prevalent within me...rearing their ugly heads from time to time...laying dormant at other times...it bothers, it disturbs, it irritates and sad to say, it does chew me up sometimes...and well..this period of time is one of those times I think…


Try as I might, I still have not gotten to the state of mind where I am entirely comfortable with who I am and what I am...in certain ways, somehow, I am still a gawky awkward teenager trying to fit in...and grow up..and i still have difficulty expressing my feelings in person...frustrating but darn darn true... Going by Maslow’s hierarchy of needs..think I’ll need lotsa work to hit Tier 4 : self-esteem…and whoa, needless to say…Tier 5 : self-actualisation..

=====================
walking the streets of raffles place and boat quay on a not-so-crowded weekday night is quite interesting in its own right...no hustle n bustle..no rushing executives and high-strung peeps zipping about..no pushy sales people approaching you... kinda surprised me that I actually enjoyed just taking a slow walk along the streets..and along the office buildings…just him and me and the night ahead…:) relaxing and chillin’…

========================
“Doubts about someone close to you might have no real evidence, but nevertheless, you just can't shake a certain feeling you have. That's fine -- just don't jump to any conclusions without evidence.”

My horoscope for today..hmm…spot on…

=========================
Gonna clear some work before I hit the sack…tmr’s gonna be a tiring day…have to stand whole day…and act knowledgeable haha…dinner at billy bomber’s tmr..change of plans..shit man, hope dun put on weight…been eating…

Disparity

Equilibrium…balance…in equal parts…
Nothing seems to be in equilibrium now
Perchance I need to let the head rule
I do not comprehend
Though I try to my utmost

The heart is weak
As petals droop and wither away
I feel vulnerable
Shivering and meek and dazed
Brooding in morose silence

I am trying
Perhaps not hard enough
God grant me strength and the will
Odds I will weather
And rivers I must cross

To reach the other side
Of greener pastures
And rolling clouds
So oft heard of
Near and yet so remote

I wIll Survive

I Will Survive - Cake

At first I was afraid
I was petrified
I kept thinking I could never live without you
By my side
But then I spent so many nights
Just thinking how you've done me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to get along

And so you're back
From outer space
I just walked in to find you
Here without that look upon your face

I should have changed my f*ckin' lock
I would have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
You'd be back to bother me

Well now go,
Walk out the door
Just turn around
Now, you're not welcome anymore

Weren't you the one
Who tried to break me with desire?
Did you think I'd crumple?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh not I,
I will survive
Yeah
As Long as I know how to love,
I know I'll be alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
I will survive,
I will survive
Yeah, yeah

It took all the strength I had
Just not to fall apart
I'm trying hard to mend the pieces
Of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights
Just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry,
But now I hold my head up high

And you see me
With somebody new
I'm not that stupid little person
Still in love with you
And so you thought you'd just drop by
And you expect me to be free
But now I'm saving all my lovin'
For someone whose lovin' me

Well now go,
Walk out the door
Just turn around
Now, you're not welcome anymore

Weren't you the one
Who tried to break me with desire?
Did you think I'd crumple?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh not I,
I will survive
Yeah
As long as I know how to love,
I know I'll be alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
I will survive,
I will survive
Yeah, yeah
Oh no

need to vent....

the day started out fine...got up earlier than usual...dunno why...forgot that i had to meet up with the temp girl too..but anyway...was abit zombified..eyes were smarting and kept yawning...popped by raffles place for lunch with sherwin..haa..long time nv kacheow him..supposed to have gone soup spoon or sakae...then long queues..ended up at obriens at singapore land tower...was nice catching up with him..and hearing his experience at the tsunami...hmm...must have really changed his outlook on life man..

rushed back to work for the event brief...thought it went quite well...was in good spirits...popped by PS with win aft that to source for event props..then my old injury started acting up...when i was wearing one of my highest heels...damn...was walking around with a hobble..trying to find fishbowls and ping pong balls...wtf??

anyway...gave up and rushed back to ofc...only to find out along the way back that the photoshop class had been postponed...imagine me with a black face..walking with a hobble and clutching a bag of ping pong balls and breadtalk (which was supposed to be my dinner before the class)...sighz...was sulking even more when i found out about the postponement...

stayed back to clear some stuff till 8plus...was walking to tjg pgr mrt & realised my foot still hurt...even from tamp mrt to the interchange, i was hobbling...damn unglam..haa...

==============
was thinking, kinda felt bad for rejecting an overly-eager, overly zealous young punk from a finance firm trying to get me to play some stupid game...but hey...the least was that i think i rebuffed him in a nice way...

==============
read an article in IS today...about a cabby who had a wife and 2 teenage kids...but yet...had a gf for the past 16 yrs...16 yrs!!!! wat crap??? and he made a comment to the journalist "...and then how do you think i managed to survive and be alive and kicking all these years?" wtf lor....i mean, there's just so much injustice in this world...it's god-damn sad when you read of stuff like this...and sherwin was also sharing with me..his ex-classmate of the same age as me...just committed suicide last month cos she found out her husband was having an affair...

I mean...where's the sancticity in marriage?? is monogamy that difficult? really leads me to thinking...wat if you married the wrong person? is divorce the way to go? or some just choose to hold on cos of some responsibilities....sigh...am feeling agitated...especially when i recall the cabby's words...if i were the wife and i heard those words coming from a man i lived my life for...my heart would have just broken into pieces on the spot...

==============
another thing to kao beh about...some people just need to learn to shut up..and mind their own business...and not poke their noses into anything and everything they come across...wat's worse is if this is your co-worker.........am losing patience......simply unnerving.........though i admit she's got her nice points as well........sighz...

the last day of the week already...argh....that's sad....

dinner was at Manhattan Fish Market @ PS. Same concept as Fish & Co. Nothing diff. Even the platters are similar...think Fish & Co's platter is still nicer though...

Was tired from the activities of the past two days... but to a certain extent the dinner was okay...great to see Will and his antics again...dun know where he gets so much drive and energy from...he simply thrives on challenges...which is great in a way...Eric too..nice to know he's doing so well in his career...this one lagi terror...his determination just blows my mind...

Will asked me something..."don't u wanna be your own boss? you wanna work forever meh?" I've never really thought about it that much..am i just a simple girl or am i simply bo chup..? Working for others is not so bad afterall right? I mean, there are upsides & downsides to everything...hmm... perhaps I'm just a plain jane content with skimming along the waves and not making the waves...

Will's gf was nice..kinda reminded me of Kelly Cho..same skin, same hair..same eyes..hmm.. thought they were sisters at first...nan's bf..quite quiet..cept when it came to the part when we played "Qian Bian Wen Da Ti"..haa...

wow..hope I have the energy to go through next week..think it'll be a whirlwind ride...chicken essence is gonna be my staple diet man..haa...and shucks..my toes are blue-black...haa...
here's the plan...mon, thurs go for course, wed meet pq & gang for din, fri meet dan & gang for din, tuesday go for jog!! saturday meet duckie babes for dimsum...am really hoping the swim is on next sunday...and that'll complete my week ahead...hmm...maybe saturday after tt can meet ahboy for movie...=D jiang hu ah sao...though susan said not nice....ah well..for the heck of it....hee....great..got my week all drafted out....=)))

HB said something to me..."chey..ur blog not juicy one"...well..put it this way...to each his own...blogging...hmm... perhaps it's just another outlet to vent certain stuff...other stuff are just kept in my heart..and yet other stuff i share with friends and loved ones directly...and well..it's just another medium to capture some moments of my life so that next year when i look back...i'll remember certain poignant moments in times gone by...makes sense? like i said...to each his own....and anyway haha...his ain't juicy either! :)

hmm...am thinking if i shd catch chelsea & arsenal till the end..no lah..think not....else tmr i'll be zombified...then again...when have i not been? haha...okok...better be disciplined...

*zzz*...

..bee-zee....

Let's see...

It's been quite a feast over the past two days with Ling & gang...Friday night's dinner was at Esplanade's hawker area...as usual...the sinful stuff like char kway teow, orh luak, hokkien mee, sambal kang kong, la-la, cockles, ngor hiang..did i miss out anything? hmm...oh ya...sambal stingray! =D makaned...tok rot..makan somemore..tok more rot....then went over to Aria next to Harry's...ordered drinks and tok even more rot....haa...much fun n laughter n simple joy...

The drinks were quite fun in their own right..haa...we ordered the weird weird exotic stuff we could find on the menu...things like choc & vodka which came in a martini glass, pearadise which also came in a martini glass...some funny mint & midori mix...etc...and most importantly...hahaha....we managed to snag the sofa seats..woohoo.....sea breeze..music...sofa seats...bunch of "tokable" friends...drinks...wat more can you ask for on a perfect chilling lounging friday night??

Saturday...was abit draggy....kel n ling came late..then slowly made our way to sentosa...met up with gail, adrian along the way...and then wham, reach thr, met up with binggen n susan...then voila..we had like err....15mins or sun...and then it was cloudy all the way...wat a disappointment...dinner was at Bedok Corner...gorged ourselves silly again like the night before..and then..haha...popped by Adrian's place for mahjong...well...haha...for Ling, Gail & I , it was more like lessons...

Sunday is here...adrian, mei n marc just left...as usual, my floor's littered with toys...of which i've to pick up n keep...woke up this morn with a bad stomachache...went toilet twice since morn already...sighz...too much eating over past two days?? am tired...wanna go snooze for awhile...i've been black-eyed for as long as I can remember...

oh...decided to sit in for tomorrow's photoshop class...woohoo.....here i come!!!

mid-day thoughts...

You are just like
The icing on a cake...
The cherry on a sundae...
The vanilla on a brownie...

Seeing you just makes my day
That much brighter
Having you around me just makes it all
That much chirpier

Just thought I'd let you know that
I'm missing you
Mushy, cliched and over-the-mill

But oh so real...

Am wondering how are you?
How's your day been so far?
Are you going for lunch soon?
How's the workload today?

And you know what?
Wish I could hug you now
Grab you tight in a huge bear hug
And not let go... =)

...sardonicism...

look like a high-class cockroach...somehow always get into such situations...argh...jasper jasper...wat did you do to me???

visited mama yday..haa...she's getting fatter...tt's nice to know...=D but hearing's getting from bad to worse...hmm...no way to solve that though...

this is the first year that I'm not attending hallball...and that I don't feel that I'm missing out on anything...guess I've grown out of it...and the attachment to it...

buck up buck up...can't wallow in the mud always and get stuck in a rut...not doing justice to myself at all...
aaahhhhh....this is so frustrating...who to turn to?? what to do?? negating negativity...how to? cultivating positivity...how to?

So alone..

So alone..
Whiskers of the night
Trapezing across the land..

So alone..
Bare walls greet me
My cough echoes through the house..

So alone..
The sound of the TV
Reverberates awkwardly though the silence..

So alone..
As a gust blows
And the curtains sway hauntingly..

So alone..
A lonely black ant crawls on my table
Ah..my sole companion for the night..

So alone..
I crave for silence yet
I'm afraid of loneliness..

So alone..

...blar blar blar...

"When you get a chance, take a look out the window. Looks pretty good doesn't it? In fact, everything's looking pretty good. Try to take a few minutes to walk around outside and find all the beauty out there."

That's my horoscope today...hmm...sounds interesting...perhaps things ain't always as bad as they seem..just need some time to take a breather and have a go at it again...

Things were pretty uneventful today...somehow had a nagging backache in the afternoon.. wonder if it's my heels...hmm...don't think so though..my posture? my sleeping position?...argh... certain angles just makes me grimace...getting old?? damn...even now as i sit, certain angles make me squirm...hope it gets better tmr...

went for a short short short jog just now...wondering y myself...i guess i had the mood..wanted to vent frustrations..had nothing to do anyway..and well..a little bit of exercise goes a long way...

frustrated cos well..you spend time and $$ doing something..then the people at the top keep changing their mind...then it makes u seem like as if what you're doing is nonsensical crap...and it kinda reflects not very good on you??...and it's shit...this cycle's been going on and on since like what?? half a year ago????? run, chase, update...change, run and chase again...update...change again...run again....

had my appraisal done this afternoon by ET...didn't exactly sit down and go through per se..more like she filled it up, I filled it up...then pass to boss to fill it up...then hoorah!! we're over and done with it....hmm...not entirely pleased...nope..not at all...things you put effort in ends up not really being recognised..things you don't put effort in earns you points....irony big time...but well...life ain't a bed of roses...hmm...cun complain too much...

made an appt to cut my hair on Wednesday..decided to take half day instead of full day...yeah, ahboy made sense...think if i force myself up early...i'll have a more fulfilling day ahead...filled with running errands, praying and cutting hair and hmm..shopping? haa...

feel like highlighting with blondish streaks but kinda apprehensive of how it'll be when it grows out...cos I can't have chemicals touching my scalp for many months to come...then like that when it grows out..it's not gonna look that great...hmm....fodder for thought...

it's funny...how at certain points in time..people you've not heard from for a period of time suddenly pop up again in your life at the same time and ask you out for meals...sunday's horoscope was right..i have to make sure my social life ain't too hectic haa...

enough crap for today...shall go lounge.......

~I will be happy. I will be strong~

rattle...lalalla.....

hammie...got him on 6th Sept 2003...my gauge at that time was that he was born in the month of August...so that makes hammie 2yrs old already...and going strong.. =) still remember the time when I saw him...and picked him cos I knew he was gonna be a real sweetie...and he has been...love it when he curls into a little white ball of fur...or when he just rests his head on the ledge of his potty...and when he just sits in your palm and lets you stroke him...

and i miss baby, peanut and bitu...and mama and papa...been more than 2 yrs since they passed on...was just walking past that tree the other day and suddenly thought of them...especially baby...haa...the only one whom mum n dad really doted on...and the only one who had the priviledge of living in an air-conditioned room...haa...

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

Other thoughts....

1. wonder how tomorrow night's dinner is gonna be like...
2. Am i a bonafide Sex and the City freak?? damn...watched 10 episodes today....that makes it like what...5hours????? sheesh....
3. Gotta learn to let go of the past and just live for the moment man...hate it when I spend the whole day alone doing my own stuff and then..poof!! i find myself starting to think about days of yesteryear...aw man..I gotta jazz my life up man...*rolls eyes*


Dumbells here I come...haha...

the weekend's here...hmm...

hmm...was walking around bugis village with ahboy yday...haa...shall go back one day to comb the area...sans him...woohoo haha... =)

quite like the bag he got yday..looks pretty good...luv my shorts..didn't realise it was reversible till i went home...wat a bonus..hee...my hair's growing out...lotsa baby hair sticking out at the top of my head...no idea how to get them to stay down..making me look messy...macham rooster....and yeah, it doesn't help that that part's not rebonded...

was quite a cranky day in office for me yday..bouncing around, talking rot..luffing my head off, acting silly...TGIF mood perhaps...or simply bochup haha...which is which? it's weird...the weekend's here...not entirely elated or what...dunno leh, just have this kind of "yah, it's here, so what?" type of feeling...hmm....?????? ....think I won't have anything on tonight...

had dessert in Geylang...the corn & water chesnut soup didn't taste as good as I remembered it to be though...lotsa night activities going on too...and sometimes, I wonder what actually led those girls (or even aunties) to do what they're doing...different people, different paths, different lives...

and ya, guess what, none from the uni gang has even replied me yet...WHY do I even bother to arrange get-togethers anymore????

ok, I've decided. Wednesday. will take leave...go pray, cut hair and maybe meet ahboy for dinner...then go home watch Superstar...watched the re-run this afternoon...cried when Weilian sang his second song...piangz...what's gotten into me man? haa....

rattling off...will be back later....hmm....=D

...conundrum...

well...just bathed..smelling nice and sweet...miss him...but well....that's another story altogether...

dinner was really full just now..went to Rice Table, the suntec branch...listening to the WSH trainers talk..it was interesting..and well..it got even more interesting when the bosses finally came and we scooted to the far end of the table for our own spate of fun...trying out the various dishes and luffing amongst ourselves...heh..CH was a ball of fun...=D But downside is...think they put alot of MSG..am still feeling quite thirsty till now...been guzzling watdr like nobody's business since I came home....too full to drink liao...

just gonna leave my mark here for today...then blowdry my hair and then go watch the video-taped version of LOST...supposed to be a good episode today....will Charlie die??....*rubbing hands together*... =)

looking forward to the weekend..cos I don't have to do anymore vetting of collaterals and designing of flyers...think I must have leafed through like a novel's worth of pages over the past few days...whether it be soft copy or hard copy...and I can relac one corner...thinking of taking a day's leave next week..to just chill out.. no, vege out is more like it....haa....with no one at home...woohoo....it's beginning to sound more and more like a great notion..... =p

Next few weeks might be busy...14th dinner with Will & gang, 24th din with PQ & gang, 27th din with duckie babes...hope Lydia's doing fine...got a rude shock by what she told me this afternoon...sigh...didn't know such jerks still existed in SG...and worse still, roamed around in our unsuspecting midst....but well, it's a rude jolt back to reality I suppose...the world is beautiful..but it ain't that beautiful all the time...

Am abit upset..sent out an email to the uni gang to suggest an outing...bloody hell, nobody replied at all..only dan acknowledged via msn...chey... =( what a waste of my efforts...somemore went to do up the powerpoint...argh......

haa...stupid win...left a damn funny testimonial on friendster for me...haa...tomorrow doing UAT...woohoo..looking forward to it...though it's still vetting, but it's a different form of vetting...heh...

today's marcus' bday...wished him yday...but was too early...cun blame me lah, don't know whether US is ahead or behind us in terms of time...apparently...they're behind..haa...times flies really....look at him...now happily married...and living in Utah...gosh...

~I will be happy. I will be strong~

You are longing for some love and affection at this time - not that you have been deprived of tender loving care - but there are times when everyone needs to try something new or to go 'somewhere' else to perhaps experience that little extra 'understanding'.

You are a leader and possibly at this time in a position of authority, but you are experiencing problems. You are not quite sure how to handle the present situation.

You are a perfectionist in everything that you put your hand to. You are demanding and very exacting in the standards you apply to your choice of colleagues and friends -perhaps you demand too much from people. That perfection you seek in a particular person is illusive - perhaps it does not even exist.

You are being unduly influenced by the situation that is all around you. You do not like the feeling of loneliness and whatever it is that seems to separate you from others. You know that life can be wonderful and you are anxious to experience life in all its aspects, to live it to the full. You therefore resent any restriction or limitations that are being imposed on you and you insist on going it alone.

You don't like conflict and you endeavor to avoid criticism. You want to do your own thing and to be able to decide what is right for you. You have considerable personable charm - and this is used with considerable effect on those that keep your company.

Interesting..Pretty true...well at least 90%...hmm...haa... =D

feeling low again...darn...

Hiding in the sanctuary of my room
I'm sulking...again...
Don't know why I'm feeling this way...again..
Is it me? Feeling absolutely green...

There's a sense that dynamics has changed
How so? I don't know...
Just that niggling feeling
Gnawing away at your heartstrings

Damn this thing called gut feel...
Or is it called over-sensitivity?
Or is it called over-imagination?
Or is it simply called paranoia?

I'm moping...seriously moping..
About something I don't even know exists or not..
Tsk tsk tsk...
And I don't know what to do about it...

kissing a fool...

am i a fool to have been waiting?
waiting in vain...
what the f*ck am i doing?
up at 3am....

you must have been kissing a fool...

hmmm....

hmm...let's see..what happened over the past few days...

Friday night was a fun night..and yep, I was a vege for the first half of the day...had a huge buffet dinner at Noble House..food was great..company was nice..venue was nice... =) the Kung Bao Chicken and salmon sashimi was great..not forgetting my fav oatmeal prawns and the soon hock! Popped by Clarke Quay to jalan jalan abit and explore the area after that too...then parked our silly bums at Coffee Bean at Boat Quay...think the walk did us good...helped to burn off the calories courtesy of the huge dinner...

Kinda suaku, nv been to Clarke Quay for darn long..didn't know the place changed so much...definitely much more vibrant..and hmm...find that the restaurants seem nicer than those at Boat Quay...haa...woohoo...new place for makan and chill out..haa....hey...going there tonight! with PQ...

Saturday..went to catch the fireworks at marina bay!! Ah boy and me were at the Benjamin Sheares bridge...woohoo...the display was just right in front of our eyes! So many different colours and patterns...twists, swirls, starbursts, and more twirls...haa...pity I didn't have a video cam with me to record it down...but it felt nice to just stand there with him to watch it all...and etch it down into our memories...6th Aug 2005...will keep that in mind... =) Last year was on the 15th of Aug...haa...when we went to the Esplanade to catch it...

Went to catch Seven Swords after the fireworks...disappointing...was luffing at the "storyline" throughout the show...though there weresome touching moments lah..haha...and ok, the eye candy did help alleviate my "suffering"...kinda felt that Zheng Zi Dan looked like TP...

tonight...

Here I am once again
Sitting alone in the darkness
Silent solitude
Waiting, just waiting...

Slithers of moonlight splay my room walls
I can hear crickets in the night
The air seems still
The chill is haunting

I feel hot tears welling up
I want to cry
But somehow, those jewels of emotions
Do not fall

There are so many things I want to say
But when I open my mouth
My tongue freezes
The words do not come

There are so many things I wish to hear
My ears are open
But the words do not come
Perhaps patience will earn me some

Ah, a single jewel falls
A glistening trail in its wake
The heart is weak
The mind is asunder

Feelings so deep I cannot comprehend
Emotions so thick I cannot hold
Lost in a land with no space and time
Caught in a web of void

Unable to juxtapose
With what I have ever experienced before
Weary and spent
As I drag myself

The crickets are still out there
Slumber beckons as I lay me down
With the hope that as time goes by
Perhaps patience will earn me some

Triple Ex....

Ex-es
Always a topic which I'm keenly interested in. Can you still be friends with ex-es? For me, so far so good...For some others whom I've spoken to, it just seems that it's impossible to maintain a platonic relationship thereafter. Even if they ended things amicably...

I dunno..Just don't really understand why..I mean, if things ended not on a bad note, then why can't the two parties remain as good friends? Can't be lovers? Then be good friends lor..simple as that...or am I thinking too naively?

Expletives
Crude, crass, banal...hell, you can even call me anal...am spouting expletives like they're second language to me...aw man...not good not good...whatever happened to my virginal sweet-young-thing image?

To think today I almost uttered a cuss word in front of my boss...
Any idea how to change this bad habit?? But sometimes it's really just the simplest form of relieveing frustration/anger....

Extravagance
Looking through my expense record for the past year..damn...extravagance seems to be a part of me...or is it a woman thing?? or does it come naturally with increased spendingpower?? To be frank, some stuff I bought over a year ago still hangs in my cupboard, clean and err....un-worn...or clean and err...unused...

And ya, I'm a CAB woman...tsk tsk....

The more I see you

The more I see you
The more I want you
Somehow this feeling
Just grows and grows
With every sigh
I become more mad about you
More lost without you
And so it goes
Can you imagine
How much I'll love you
The more I see you
As years go by?
I know the only one for me
Can only be you
My arms won't free you and
My heart won't try

god's creations...

was just taking a slow walk from IP to the mrt tonight after work..Liang Jing Ru was playing in my ears..I was tuned out to the outside world...Looked at all the people around me...and started wondering...if God created each and every single person in the world...then he must have been one with an extremely creative/visual mind...

To have created each person different from the other...be it physically, mentally, emotionally...he must have needed a super artistic mind to have considered all diferent permutations & combinations in order to make each one of us a unique individual...man, am I thinking too much?

On the way home...walking from the mrt to the bus interchange..was thinking...so many people walking past each other...each with his own thoughts, emotions and feelings..each with her own past, preent and future...each with his own hope, ambitions and aspirations...each with her own despair, grief and sadness...who knows, we might have walked past each other countless times before?? Bottomline is, beneath each facade..lies different stories, different experiences...

And if God manages all of us...how does he cope? how does he help?

And is there only one god? so many deities in the world with so many different religions worshipping different gods..but do they all ultimately point back to one singular god up there??

hmm....

home...

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm

Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I’ve got to go home

Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
But this was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
And even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all be alright
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home

my trusty cellphone...& a depressing poem

had a nice dinner with yiyong..poor guy was sneezing away..and he made me wait at least half an hour for him..grrr...anyway..for that half hour..had nothing to do & ended up saving this on my cellphone..goodness..my faithful companion in my hour of need...

Running
Through emptiness
A cold draught blows
My blood courses within me
Hot & searing
Yet
I feel cold
A chill surges through me
Panting
As I seek
Floundering
As I search
Despair & panic grips
Arms flailing
As I sink deeper
Into the abyss
Of nothingness

hmm...wonder why it sounds so depressing haa...anyway, the point is...it's sad how my cellphone has become so much a part of me..I'd feel god damn lost if I didn't have my phone with me..

It's evolved to be my alarm clock, my personal assistant, my phone book, my connection to my network of friends, my entertainment when i'm bored, my time-teller...gosh..I even bring it into the bathroom with me at times when I bathe!!! just so I can respond to an sms...if there is even one!! piangz..can't believe myself...technology...hell, even my parents sms me..and their retiree group of friends...haa...

uh oh...almost 11pm...better go dry hair....and report strength... =)

grapes, gropes...ahhh....GRIPES...

At a time when I'm about to embark on a virgin vegetarianism effort on the 1st & 15th of each lunar month..I receive an invite to attend a friend's ROM dinner gathering this friday...on the same day that my virgin vegetarian journey is supposed to commence...how timely!!!

...partially disappointed..partially cursing...but ah well...am resigned to fate and erm....a test of strength? (haha, abit exaggerated I know)...was given the option of staying at home by wm...pls, i'd rather not be at home on a friday night...will still go & enjoy the group's company & camaraderie...and at the same time...will still embark on my journey haaa....albeit with a slight longing for my meat...haha...

realised that i've morphed into a griping, nagging woman...lor soh & ah soh...aw man.....and i'm not even 25...yet...

till here...gonna meet yiyong for dinner...before he flies back to the states...CREATION here I come!!!! woohoo!! teiyaki chicken meatball pasta!! and the brrrowniee....=)))) *yum yum*
