The lady who had an affair with a 15yr-old boy was sentenced to 10 months in jail...
I feel for her somehow...
Imagine the emotional duress she's going through right now...Imagine the countless hours she would be spending in her cell at night...
Thinking through everything she'd done, thinking through everything that had transpired....
All the whys, hows, whens, whos, what happened-s....
She made a slip-up in life. A major slip-up.
But she was brave enough to confess her mistake.
It was reported that her hubby has forgiven her, as do her parents-in-law...
If this were true...then my heart goes out to her hubby as well...
It's definitely not easy forgiving someone who has broken your trust.
What more in such a manner. What more when vows have been made between them two.
Am pretty sure he's feeling downright shitty.
Am pretty sure he's feeling downright confused and indignant and hurt and disappointed and sore and sad and pissed and....you get the drift.
So for him to have forgiven her, it takes alot of courage. I applaud him and am proud of him for wanting to try to make things work. At least he has the guts to do so.
She had the guts to admit.
He had the guts to forgive and accept that a mistake was done.
Let's hope things will work out for them....
Move on. Plod on. Trudge on.

Randomness
I think it's kinda sad...Eelyn Kok has been cast in only a single type of role in the past few drama serials she's been in...
She's always the girl who seems good on the surface but harbours an evil heart...
or she's downright evil from the start..
or she's being rejected by guys who do not really like her anymore...
or she's a baddie who schemes and manipulates to get what she wants...
or she's a mistress of someone...
or she's so screwed up she starts going a little cranky and deranged in her maniacal outbursts...
or all of the above rolled into one big bitchy mad baddie...
Gosh...I quite like her actually....I think she does the above roles with finesse...
But I really hope Mediacorp gives her fresher roles to play in the future...
It'll do her good to get exposed to other character types...
=========
En route to being a PA..
I think I can start considering that as my possible career option.
Doing things for boss. Helping friends with stuff. Coordinating everyday lunches.
Sometimes I wonder to myself, why can't some people take the initiative to organise gatherings?
Come on, you're part of the group. It might be difficult to coordinate things sometimes...but give and take, it can't always be the same few people doing it right?
==========
I hope the weather holds later in the afternoon.
I wanna go for a quick blade session before the trip. So that I won't lose touch when I come back haha...
==========
Packing.
Packing.
Packing.
It'll be exciting meeting new people again.
The good thing is that HC will be there this time. At least I won't feel so lonely and out of place...

Am back! For 2 days...
Touched down at 545pm just now...
Ended up buying a Wynham Estate 2002 Cabernet Merlot and a Davidoff Coolwater for Ladies from the DFS store...:)
Hahaa..I think recent unhappy events have unleashed a bug in me...
A spending bug..how ah? Hmm mm...;p
I didn't spend enough time in Manila to really get to see & feel the city...It's bustling and somewhat busy...but on first impression, more could be done for th
In general
Manila was much like Thailand or at least it reminded me of Thailand alot.
I don't know why, maybe it was the jeepneys whizzing about the streets, much like Thailand's tuk-tuks, except larger. The jeepneys can carry about 10 people perhaps?
The pinoys in general aren't exactly very friendly people...Only those in frontline jobs are friendly enough...And the ladies seem to like to stand very close to you whilst in queues. Experiened that in both shopping centre cashier queues, taxi queues and even at the immigration counter at the airport. Strange....
The hotel
I stayed in Sofitel Phillipines Plaza Hotel. LOVELY LOVELY LOVELY!
Room was huge consdering it was only me staying in it haha...
Lovely beds...flat screen 30-something-inch Sony Bravia (I think it might have been a 40-inch hmmmm)...my balcony was partially facing the sea...
The toilet was wonderful...I like such toilets, clean, spotless and cosy haha.
The breakfast buffet brought me to heaven every morning..haha..
Japanese, Filipino, Chinese, Western, Indian...they had all these cuisine and more..!
Smoked salmon, pizzas, smoked tuna, a nice little salad bar, dim sum, loads of pastries and breads...Wah lau...was really spoilt for choice... haha.
Decor and presentations were done tastefully throughout the hotel as well...:)
And the whole place was huge. Sofitel wasn't very tall. It was only 11 storeys high...but the grounds were sprawling...and the swimming pool was very nice...surrounded by coconut trees..
Sunset threw a orangey glow over everything and surprisingly, it was quite picturesque haha.
The meeting
The meeting went well...Got to know some foreign counterparts better, got to know others as well. Collected more namecards again but I think I could have done better in networking..
Hmm...bopian I guess, am shy in nature hhaa. Wanted to know some others but didn't have the chance to.
2 full days stuck in that meeting room. Some portions were definitely useful and informative. But alot were technical and I have to admit, I thought it was a waste of time for me to be there..hmm mm...was spending time clearing office emails instead and doing my own work haha.
I suddenly have this feeling..that I might kena arrowed to do a presentation for the upcoming meeting...Not a good thing..
I think I'll faint up there in front of all the industry experts, some of whom were there right from the start when the Internet started...and some others who were the ones who created the commercial Internet in the early 1990s...
Hmm mm...the next meeting might be in Taiwan or Beijing...see how it goes...
The shopping
I only managed to do proper shopping on the first day I arrived. Went to the Mall of Asia, 10 minutes by cab from my hotel. It's the 3rd largest mall in the world and literally hosts a few hundred shops on its premises...
But, certain sections made me feel like I was in SG...gosh. The first shop I saw was actually Yoshinoya restaurant haha...There was Delifrance, Macdonald's, Sakae Sushi, Ajisen and even OLD CHANG KEE!!!! piangzz..even Quickly was doing good there even though they went bust in SG back in 2004 perhap?
Upmarket shops like Topshop, MNG, Braun Buffel, MEXX, Nine West...were more or less priced like in SG...Nike was up to 10%-15% cheaper...CDs are cheap! $15-$18..those on promo can be even priced at $3 a piece.
Conclusion? Didn't buy much. Only about 4-5 casual tops from a factory outlet store ahah...About $5-$6 per piece.
Security
It's strange..haha. Every single entrance into a shopping centre or hotel or business building has a "security post". A table would be set up with a sign that says "With bag" and "No bag"...
People will just filter through accordingly. And there would be one lady and one guy dressed in security uniforms who would conduct "checks" on each individual going into the building. Bags had to be opened and cursory looks would be thrown by the officers...
Sofitel hotel even had a dog to sniff bags & luggages...each time I went out and came back to the hotel, I had to be sniffed by the dog and a lady would check my bag...zzz...
Weather
Hmm. 3 words. SAME AS SINGAPORE.
Spa
Went for a spa session with HC & Geraldine on the first night. It was quite an experience. The massage wasn't fantastic but it was defitnely a memorable and interesting experience hahhaa...
IT's not your usual spa concept in SG. Apparently, the price you pay at this particular spa includes a buffet meal as well...you can choose to makan either before or after your massage..It's entirely up to you..own time own target...There's a jacuzzi & sauna & steambath you can use...separate for ladies & gents...
Gera & I did a foot massage each...Each foot massage chair had a flat screen next to it showing cable TV...you can watch & get massaged at the same time...
One word. COOL! I was watching a little of Liverpool's match against Manchester City haha...
The scary thing was that the masseurs were all dressed in uniforms very very very closely resembling hospital garbs. imagine those greenish uniforms, shirt top and drawstring pants...complete with a little cap. It looked like as if there were lots of surgeons or hospital staff walking around.....the only missing on them is maybe those white nose/mouth masks...
Beer
There were some others from IDA who were there for the other meetings held in conjunction with this whole event...On my last night there..i.e. on Tuesday night, me, HC, Gera & a guy named Eugene had a mini chill-out at the poolside...we were also facing the sea so it was quite nice...slight breeze now and then...
Gera didn't drink...We ordered a bucket with 6 cans of San Miguel Light. Turned out Eugene has slightly sensitive skin and can't drink much....I think HC's drinking skills has not been good all the while? HC kept refilling my mug...tmd, I think I had half the bucket of beer...
Went back the room, managed to bathe and fell asleep on the bed with the TV on. The TV was supposed to keep me awake so I could blowdry my hair... haha totally concussed for 30 minutes before I woke up again to dry my hair...
Self & Thoughts
There were times when I felt shy & reserved & inadequate. I seriously need to shake this thing off. Else how to get to know more industry folks? Hmm mm...
Packed my hours with things to do, even mundane things like watching TV..to stave the mind off things..Suddenly, my parents are the only ones whom I SMS to say "I have reached safely".

Perhaps
I like this word.
Much like I like the word "Sardonic".
"Perhaps" is word which is so versatile...it encompasses so many things....
Happiness
Hope
Sadness
Regret
Deep thought
Pondering
Forwardness
Possibilities
Submissiveness
Imagination
Permutations
Probabilities
And the list goes on....

My writing
I was told that I do write well.
But only if and when I want to. Lol...
Oh well, I guess, alot of times...it's just a matter of how much effort you want to put into something..and how much thought, passion and feelings you put into it.
It ain't apply only to writing...it applies to everything one does I guess...
But oh well back to writing.
Perhaps I lost the knack for it..Or perhaps I've been writing too many office memos or putting up too many "governmental" type of documents to the management...
So much so that my creative writing has taken a backseat...lol...
Or perhaps..I have just stemmed the freeflow of my emotions over the years.. ha...
Perhaps I have become mundane. Banal.
Haa..numerous perhaps.

Les Conversations Entre Nous
Words.
Nary but a few.
Short, simple, precise.
I am what I am. What you see is what you get.
You find it interesting how you somehow are seeing the real me now.
I think you just didn't bother seeing me in the past.
So there you have it. I am me.
Plain and simple.
Period.

As Close to Being a Bird As I Can Be
Flying in Feb, March & April...
April's BKK trip with the sec sch gang has been confirmed! Voila...
Am hoping the end June/early July trip to France will materialise with the Frenchies...
2 weeks should set me back by what...$4-5K??
Hmm mm...pockets are running dry though...
Company owes me $2K plus at this point in time...By the time I am back in mid March, the figure will hit more than $5K I think...
*gasps*

Amy Winehouse - Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?
I like this version of the song by Amy Winehouse..
It's been looping on my PC for the past hour or so haha...
Jason Mraz - Nobody Likes Me/You and I Both
To continue with my recent obsession...
Pure talent...he sounded so angelic on this video..
Jiayou to me!
I feel good. I achieved something today. I did a 5km just now.
First time in my life? Woot Woot! haha..small matter to some...big matter to me...:)
Was over at ECP with PQ & TH.
Each of us ran our own ways...I was running with PQ for the first 3km till I got punctured haha...told her to go ahead and I went at my own snail's pace...
And I guess Bro Kel taught me something...
Not to stop running when you're tired but to go real slow...slow slow slow jog...
I pushed myself today. Don't know why or how...
Just ran, nothing in my mind...no thoughts, nothing...except for wondering how far I can last.. haa.
A panting turtle with a ponytail meandering her way through the park...
Adrian encouraged me to bring my running shoes on the long haul trip...asked me to run in LA...
Said it was really a very very cool experience...
Hmm mmm...we'll see yah, we'll see haha...doubt I'll do it though ;p

s u p p o s i t i o n s
Was supposed run with PQ at ECP after work...
Had to fly her kite..cos I worked till 815pm...
We'll try to make it tomorrow again..
=========
Was supposed to settle my minutes writing...
Had to shelve it one side for the whole day cos of unexpected issues which cropped up...
I'll try again tomorrow I guess...
=========
Was supposed to pack my bag for Manila...
Oh well I did, just a tiny little..
I'll try again tomorrow I guess...
==========
Was supposed to sit down and plan the itinerary for LA as well as the hotels...
Darn I completely forgot about it till now when I'm writing this entry..
Tomorrow again I suppose...
==========
The world is full of suppositions
The world is full of procrastinations
The world is full of tomorrows...
But why focus on the tomorrows when you can focus on the today?
Why wait when you can do it now?
Why suppose when you can say "I have", "I will", "I can"...

Jason Mraz - It's a Lovely Day
Bear with me & my fascination with him...haha..
But this is amazing..
Freestlying music..with a busker in the streets of Centre Pompidou in France again..
Pure talent...
Ah fuck, won't be able to watch his concert here in March..:(
Jason Mraz - Live High
Ok, I admit...I'm falling in love with Jason Mraz
Perhaps I've been a little slow..But oh well..:)
Those fingers of his..works magic on that guitar of his..
And his voice..just his voice alone without any accompaniement is already lovely...
This video here was an impromptu one..which makes it even the more lovely..:)
Trapesing across the streets of France..Beauborg to be exact..but not sure which state is it in though hmm mm....
Peach Blossoms
I would have expected myself to zonk out after downing half a bottle of wine during dinner just now..
On the contrary..I'm pretty awake...
Uncle Dave's 60th birthday celebratuioon... And I was made to sit at a table fyull of kids 10 years my junior. But oh well...thy're kinda entertaining in a way...
Between the 5-6 of us who were drinking..I think we cleared 3 or 4 bottles of wine...easily.
Peach Blossoms at Marina Mandarin. Food was not too bad...but relatively salty...
The kids at my table were really AKS...or Aj Siah Kias.. ha...meaning rich kids...
It was an eye0opener in a way...
I'm still awake now...But I think I should at least force myself to get some shut eye...
Else work will be a zombified process tomorrow....bleah.. ;p

Life sucks
Yet
Life is wonderful
At the same time
What a paradox
But this song is really nice...enjoy...
Jason Mraz - I'm Yours lyrics
Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks, now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment people, dance and sing
We're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved
So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate, our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
D-d-do do you, but do you, d-d-do
But do you want to come on
Scooch on over closer dear
And I will nibble your ear
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do, our name is our virtue
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Come on and open up your mind and see like me
(I won't hesitate)
Open up your plans and damn you're free
(No more, no more)
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
(It cannot wait, I'm sure)
So please don't, there's no need
(There's no need to complicate)
There's no need to complicate
(Our time is short)
'Cause our time is short
(This is our fate)
This is, this is, this is our fate
I'm yours
Oh, I'm yours
Oh, I'm yours
Oh, whoa, baby you believe I'm yours
You best believe, best believe I'm yours
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks, now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment people, dance and sing
We're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved
So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate, our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
D-d-do do you, but do you, d-d-do
But do you want to come on
Scooch on over closer dear
And I will nibble your ear
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do, our name is our virtue
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Come on and open up your mind and see like me
(I won't hesitate)
Open up your plans and damn you're free
(No more, no more)
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
(It cannot wait, I'm sure)
So please don't, there's no need
(There's no need to complicate)
There's no need to complicate
(Our time is short)
'Cause our time is short
(This is our fate)
This is, this is, this is our fate
I'm yours
Oh, I'm yours
Oh, I'm yours
Oh, whoa, baby you believe I'm yours
You best believe, best believe I'm yours
Jason Mraz - Life is Wonderful lyrics
It takes a crane to build a crane
It takes two floors to make a story
It takes an egg to make a hen
It takes a hen to make an egg
There is no end to what I'm saying
It takes a thought to make a word
And it takes some words to make an action
It takes some work to make it work
It takes some good to make it hurt
It takes some bad for satisfaction
La la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Al la la la la
It takes a night to make it dawn
And it takes a day to make you yawn brother
And it takes some old to make you young
It takes some cold to know the sun
It takes the one to have the other
And it takes no time to fall in love
But it takes you years to know what love is
It takes some fears to make you trust
It takes those tears to make it rust
It takes the dust to have it polished
Ha la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is so full of
Ah la la la la la la life is so rough
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is our love
Ah la la la la la
It takes some silence to make sound
It takes a loss before you found it
And it takes a road to go nowhere
It takes a toll to make you care
It takes a hole to make a mountain
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ha la la la la la life is wonderful
Ha la la la la la life is meaningful
Ha la la la la la life is wonderful
Ha la la la la la life it is...so... wonderful
It is so meaningful
It is so wonderful
It is meaningful
It is wonderful
It is meaningful
It goes full circle
Wonderful
Meaningful
Full circle
Wonderful
It takes two floors to make a story
It takes an egg to make a hen

It takes some good to make it hurt

In front of all the kids I was learning blading with...

Supposed to learn T-stop soon...but I'll miss two lessons ahead...:( hmm mm...

Cover version of "I'm Yours"
Very lovely cover version of "I'm Yours"..
And she's cute!! haha...Lovely girl..
Saturday, February 14, 2009
Je me dit. I tell myself.
To change the way I think about things.
Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes it doesn't.
So what? Things have happened. Fuck it. Learn from it. Then move on.
I'll try my best not to lose faith in relationships. I'll try not to be apprehensive about future relationships, if any.
I cried rivers last weekend. And then I told myself, I cannot dwell on things anymore and I'll not shed another tear over this anymore.
So far, I've done good. Very good.
It's been an emotional rollercoaster of sorts.
Hurt, disappointment, pain, confusion, frustration, loss, anger, sadness, angst.
It's been 10 years since I've spent a Vday as a singleton. Voila.
Did not realise that it's been so long. Two failed relationships, each lasting 5 years.
Yet another closed chapter in my life.
I'll let the book sit there for awhile. I'm too tired to flip to the next page at the moment.
Or maybe deep down I'm just afraid of a blank page, or another uncompleted novel.
Hmm.

Le Frenchies
It was a lovely night yesterday...with the Frenchies!
5 of us: Cher, Kyne, Yang Ching, Tung Ling & myself...
Drinking, laughing, squabbling, gorging...
A very interesting mix of people...:)
With the youngest being only 20 and the oldest being around 45...
You would have thought that we would be conversing in French at least a little...
Oh well, I think we did. Perhaps for like 1% of the whole night hahha....
We were at Oosters in Suntec.
Their mussels in white wine seem to have lost its kick. Either that or its chefs is really screwed up these days...The soup was disappointing...totally unlike the other time when I went with Geraldine & Aaron...
The rest all went separate ways after our 2-hours plus dinner...
Kyne & I popped by to Paulaners for a 2nd session...
Shared a bottle of red wine (and a plate of sauerkraut & sausages) and just talked the night away...oh well, for the next 4 hours at least hahha...
Our dreams, worries, past, present, future, work....
Lovely lovely night...
I laughed more last night than the whole of last week combined...
Come to think of it, I laughed more this week than the whole of last month combined...
Friends and family do make a difference to your life...:)

Amy Winehouse - Back to Black
He left no time to regret
Kept his dick wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Get on without my guy
You went back to what you knew
So far removed from all that we went through
And I tread a troubled track
My odds are stacked
I'll go back to black
We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to.....
I go back to us
I love you much
It's not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside
We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
Black, black, black, black, black, black, black,
I go back to
I go back to
We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to
We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to black

Legs are breaking
Bro Kel went running with me again tonight...My pseudo personal trainer haa...
It's nice to have someone push you and pace you...:)
To hear footfalls next to you...To feel another being next to you...
A comforting rhythm...
Am not too sure how far I covered today...3km? More? Hmm mm...
It felt far...haha..I forsee jelly legs tomorrow.
Anyway, pigging is the best way to make yourself happy after slogging...:)
Horfun, iced milo and chicken wings for dinner after that...or was it considered supper? hee..
beezee bee & her little snippets
It's been hectic..and will still be till mid-year at least.
Work has been pretty consuming. Little little things adding up.
Admin, operations, policy, projects, board meeting, the trips...
Personal life was turned upside down...trying to get some semblance of order..
So far so good, hmm hopefully...there's still loose ends to tie dead knots to...
Pretty tiring...
BUT...I will survive!!
=============
Hmm...I think I might be slated for a promotion. Hope I don't jinx things by voicing it out here.
Oh well...fate has dealt me surprises, happiness and also disappointments...
Will see how it goes...
The boss hinted at it this evening...told me to look out for an email tomorrow..
Hmm....wonder what it's all about...
A promo in terms of grade is still a good thing hehe....more $$....:)
=============
Shucks...the album ERA 2 has turned out to be a little disappointing...
So so different from ERA 1.
I'll post a song from ERA 1 here later....
=============
BKK has been slated for end April...
With the sec sch peeps...woot! haha....pigging out session hopefully....
=============
Will be at Oosters tomorrow night...(or rather tonight) with the French peeps...
Am oh so looking forward to the mussels in white wine...power!!! :)

my little stomach
Had dinner with Daniel just now...
Went to Brotzeit again...
And I think I ate like a cow haha...I definitely had more than him...
And at the end of our dinner and drinks...I actually still had room for more...
My stomach's a very strange organ.
On good days, it can take in tons of stuff...
On bad days, it can take nothing in...
It's in a happy mood these two days...
Wonder how it's mood will be like tomorrow...hmm mm...:)

Back to Black
Amy Winehouse's voice is really amazing..
I couldn't stop listening to her Back to Black album after Kelvin H passed me the MP3s...
Pity she's a little screwed up at the moment..drugs, rehab and what not..
But her voice is really power power power...:)
Argh
I'm angry.
Dreams were robbed from me.
Dreams were robbed from me.
And now my pockets will also be penalised through no fault of mine?
Life's unfair.
Argh.

Madonna - Push
One of my fav songs from her "Confessions on a DAnce Floor" album...
It's an old album from 2-3 years ago..
But it's a fantastic fantastic production.
Each song leads into the next one..beats do not stop at all and before you know it, things have morphed into a new song and new beat and new lyrics....
Enjoy this one.
After Work
It's been a long time since I had a longer conversation with James.
It's usually been a "Hi. How's business? Stop smoking so much. Bye."
And recently. I just didn't even want to acknowledge him.
Think I'm just tired of things happening and didn't want to bother with greeting him at all...
Perhaps purpleskies' vouchers made the difference.
Perhaps it's cos he knows about things. He was that little bit nicer just now....
He actually said.."Let's go get a beer one of these days."
Darn, I was tired..forgot to ask him if it's his treat.
Nevertheless. He still managed to irk me somehow.
He said. "I think he will need a flat earlier than you do." And ended off with a roaring laugh.
I flashed my middle finger at him in broad daylight in front of dozens of other executives.
Fuck care my reputation in Suntec.
===========
Not all who read will understand.
But oh well...

Heavy Heart
What could have been, what should have been, what would have been.
Blown away like dust in wind.
Anger, hurt, disappointment, sadness, pain, loss.
Who, what, where, when, why, how?
Rivulets of tears.
But, a blessing in disguise?
A rainbow after dashed dreams?
Time will tell perhaps.
If God hears this heavy heart.
Some Laughter Keeps Me Sane
Some phrases for Vday??
1. My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife,
You've screwed up my life.
2. I see your face when I'm dreaming,
That's why I wake up screaming.
3. Kind, loving, intelligent and hot,
This describes everything you're not.
4. Love may be beautiful, love may be bliss,
But I only slept with you cos I was pissed.
5. I thought that I could love no other,
Thats was until I met your brother.
6. Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you.
But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl's empty and so is your head.
7. I want to fee your sweet embrace,
But don't take that paper bag off your face.
8. I love your smile, your face, your eyes!
Damn, I'm good at telling lies.
9. My love, you take my breath away.
What have you stepped in to smell this way?
10. My feelings for you no words can tell,
Except maybe "go to hell".

Quack Quack
Oh ok wait, before I head for my bath...
I shall dedicate a mini post to a dear friend of mine...
You'll know who you are haha...
I was walking to the MRT after work...
Cruising along in my black pants and chic white sleeveless top...
Wind blowing in my hair...I was marvelling at the beautiful sky
And well, I was walking generally fast.
And then.
My phone rang...TMD.
I hate it when it's such a lovely moment and something happenst o spoill the moment.
Saw the caller ID and my jaw just dropped. Cos it was someone who has only appeared on my call list like once or twice in my entire 7 years that I've known him.
James.
Him: "OOI! Why must walk so fast??!!"
Me: "Huh?? Wah lau, u spying me from where? Starbucks again??"
Him: "Ahboden? That's my office what..Never even see me..Why walk so fast??"
Me: "Orh ok, just take it that I did wave at you lah."
Him: "Don't try to bullshit me...Ok, catch up with you again."
Me: "Bye."
And yes, I was shocked for him to have called me.

Ok!
The Lazy Pig shall head for her bath! hahaha...
I am hooked on scrubbing myself with my lovely green Bodyshop body loofah...
Heee...
Heart to Heart
Communication is key.
Whether it's face to face or behind a PC screen
I'm glad in a way that XH and I had our talk this morning.
It was close to an hour long, intermittently...
Sure it was peppered with some awkward jokes to remove the tension
But yet it was quite open in a way too...
I felt strangely happy...
Cleared the air
Found out roughly what each was thinking
And well we're still...
Good friends
Kopi buddies
And cool with each other
That's what I want.
Still cool and open with each other..
Who knew we could get along?
Haa..
Metaphors
Of prunes
Of bushes
Of popsicles
Of wrinkled mini starfishes
I shan't explain.
But I wonder if I read the above 4 lines again a year later...
Will I manage to remember what they were all about??
Came up in a superb MSN conversation with XH this morning...
Hmm mm.
Ribbit Ribbit
Opps...I nearly killed a frog just now..
Went for a run after my 2-week hiatus and was raring to go...
Went on my usual route in the park and was on my second round when I saw something jump just in front of my feet...
Had to "siam" the bugger...
Really a small little thing...perhaps half the size of a char siew bao.
Totally blended in with the tarmac..Lol..
Anyway, the run felt good...Did the usual 2.4 today haha..
With a 2-min break at the 2km mark..to do some very simple stretching..
Courtesy of who?
Bro Kel of course who showed me the benefits of having some light stretching whether in the midst of a run or before or after a run... ahha...

Went on my usual route in the park and was on my second round when I saw something jump just in front of my feet...
Had to "siam" the bugger...
Really a small little thing...perhaps half the size of a char siew bao.
Totally blended in with the tarmac..Lol..
Anyway, the run felt good...Did the usual 2.4 today haha..
With a 2-min break at the 2km mark..to do some very simple stretching..
Courtesy of who?

shucks...
I weighed myself this morning.
44kg.
Oh gawd. I lost another kg. My BMI reads as below 16.95 I think.
I really should take care of my health...
Both mental & physical...
I used to weigh 48 or 49 kg back in LHUB days.
That was 1.5 years ago...
Prayers
We went to the Loyang Dua Pek Kong Temple today after our blading lesson...
Sweet sweet Wei Hao was our chauffeur haha..
The last time I was at the temple was a year ago..on the 2nd day of CNY in 2008.
I prayed for Tai Sui last year and went back to "return" thanks...
At the same time of course, I was praying for everything to be smooth-sailing this year..
Apparently Monkeys will have good fortune in the Year of the Ox. Lucky stars seem to be shining brightly..Monkey women will have it better then Monkey men who still have to watch out for some squabbles in the workplace...
Oh well, the Year of the Rat wasn't very good for me in the later half of the year...
Really hope the Year of the Ox treats me well...
I remember telling Mr Bull last year that I like the smell of burning joss sticks and incense...He said I'm perverted haha..
But it's true! The smells of the incense were generally nice just now...
Though it got abit choking at a point in time because there were lots of people there.
We spent close to 45 minutes there I think...from burying the offerings to burning a pair of candles to placing offerings on the tables...to burning the joss sticks and then going around the 12 prayer stations...to burning the incense papers to reading our horoscopes for the year...and finally to visiting two black cows they had in the temple compounds...
May the year ahead be fruitful, happy, smooth-sailing, prosperous, healthy, cheerful and wonderful for me and my dearest ones...

Blading
Blading today was kinda stressful..
I don't know if it was because I'm in a jittery and anxious state of mind..
Or it was because I've not had blades on for the last 2 weeks.
But I'm still glad I didn't fall..hehe.
PQ fell twice or thrice today and she was cursing haa..
We went round the area today. And it was scary at times. Slopes aplenty and cracks apelnty on the pavements...
Desmond, our instructor, was asking us if we had any lunch cos we were both kinda slow and he was falling alseep ahhaha...That goondu actually sat at a bench to wait for us at one point in time...kns haha..

Panic attack? Supernatural experience?
I had a panic attack in the middle of my sleep on Sunday night.
Either that or I had a supernatural experience...
I know I was awake. But my eyes couldn't open.
I know I was freaking out. But I couldn't really wake myself up fully.
I was very afraid. I thought I was going mad.
Well, it really felt like I was going mad.
Heart was pumping. I could feel it in my ears. Thud thud thud.
And I was very afraid of something.
Of noise. I was very araid of any noise. Cos any noise would seem very amplified to my ears.
Any noise would seem to be able to blow my brains out to bits...
It was surreal, yet real.
But the intense fear of feeling like you're going mad was absolutely horrifying.
The heart was itchy but it was a scratch I could never ease.
It was scary, it was horrifying, it was intense, it was deafening in a way the loudest noise can never be.
I remember clasping my eyes together..all the whole my eyes were closed.
I remember reciting Hail Mary over and over and over again.
"Hail Mary the Lord is with thee..Blessed art though amonsgt women and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb jesus..."
And I don't remember anything else after that.
Except waking the next morning with a throbbing head.

fly fly fly
My business trips are confirmed...
I should be excited...but strangely I am not...hmm mm..
Am I being weird? Perhaps it's the destinations...or perhaps it's the arduous 30-hour flight...
Or perhaps, it's the back-to-back trips..Or perhaps, I am just not in the right state of mind.
Feb 22 - 25 Manila...
Feb 27 - March 7 Mexico....
One good thing is I will have Han Chuan as my travel partner...
I will meet up with him in Manila for the conference...And as for Mexico, we'll both be flying there together...:)
Good lah, at least i'll have him for company...
And oh yes...I can clock in my KrisFlyer mileage points....woot.....!

les meilleurs amies
It is a little uncanny..even a little strange.
Things have not been going well for both PQ and me since at least 2 months back...
Mine started earlier though..her unhappy stuff came a few weeks after...
Glad we're there for each other...
She's off to run at ECP now...
Darn it, I was just thinking to myself on the way home from home...I wish I weren't still sick..
I need to run off my frustrations...I need to vent!
My thighs are aching for a good stretch..my calves are yearning for a jiggle and my feet just want to move...
Argh..till next week, till next week...:)
I hope things pan out well for both of us...New year, new hope.

wan lan eh.
99.9% of men are jerks.
I'm feeling hot now. A gf just found out during lunch that a guy whom she was relatively close to actually has a gf. But his behaviour to her doesn't say so at all.
He goes out with her late at night and holds her hands.
I don't understand. I can't understand why.
Why do guys always choose to think with their lesser head? I mean WTF lor...
You have someone faithfully waiting for you. Yet you happily skip along outside and pick other flowers to munch on. Seriously wtf??
Why can't you just cherish the one who's been with you for so long?
Why can't you just be loyal to one????
I was telling her. I feel like frying his dick.
It's a good thing things didn't get too far between them...and it's a bloody good thing she found out now and not later when more feelings are involved.
When such things happen to you and people around you...
Or when you know of such infidelities going around.
It really sucks optimism out of you in one huge gaping breath and leaves you gasping in despair.
And what's left? Jaded-ness? A more guarded heart? Less openness?
Perhaps I've been in denial. Perhaps I've always been too airy fairy.
Perhaps the hopeless romantic in me refused to open my eyes to such things.
The past year and a half has forced the naive me to see things in a fluorescent light.
Bright and clear. Yet paradoxically darker and more ominious at the same time.
The reality of these things really breaks my heart.
Am feeling darn upset now.

En Route to Being WELL and DANDY
Antibiotics makes a difference...:)
Fever's 99% kicked out from my system...
The only nagging thing is the blocked nose...Hmm mm...
The Randomness of It All
I received a tag via facebook today...I was supposed to have written 16 random things about myself and then tag 16 others to do the same.
I guess, I don't listen to instructions very well cos I decided to just write my thoughts down here instead lol.
Some stuff you might already know...some you might not...
Oh well, here goes...
#1 I like colours..green, yellow, red, pink, blue...but I usually end up wearing white or black
#2 My favourite English word is "sardonic" hence my online moniker "sardonica"
#3 I am obsessed with making lists, of all sorts
#4 I might not look like it but I am really a homebody
#5 My Chinese name means "US Dollars"..hiakzz...
#6 I have this thing for cute guys who can sing and play the guitar (or any other musical instrument for that matter)
#7 I wish I had more courage and drive to do greater things
#8 The worst time to approach me for a favour is when I just got out of bed
#9 I am a procrastinator, a very bad one
#10 I can sit at a cafe and people-watch for hours
#11 I express myself more easily in words than speech
#12 I love notebooks and I've a bad habit of buying new ones when I already have a pile of them at home
#13 I used to have imaginary pet dogs, 20 of them
#14 I am a Discovery Channel, Animal Planet and National Geographic kid
#15 When I close my eyes, a whole new world opens up beneath my eyelids, sights, sounds colours..
#16 I fall in love easily and I fall in love with love easily too..I guess..I'm a hopeless romantic

Shell the Entrepreneur?
I received a business proposition today.
It was a casual one though. Came up during a chat with my brother.
At this moment in time, things are at a very airy fairy stage. i.e. TALK and just TALK.
We both agreed to do some simple research about this possible business venture first before going into more in-depth stuff.
It's a franchise from the US. If I were to go into it, I'd be more of a sleeping partner but might undertake some of the PR and marcomms stuff. BD is his forte and he'd be the best person to do it. Operations wise...we've not come to that haha..
Hmm mm....this is interesting. But at this point, I am not 100% convinced about the viability of the business...We'll see how it goes we'll see how it goes...
If he's really keen and can convince me, the sceptical one, then perhaps 2009 or 2010 shall see me fulfilling one of my obscure dreams of becoming an entrepreneur...lol.

chez doctor...
The weather's so good now..
The wind, the sun and the white fluffy clouds in the sky!
Oh I should be in Sentosa now or blading in Pasir Ris Park or running in the park near my house!!!
When will this dumb fever subside..? :(
Just went to see the doc again..
He mentioned that my company's doctor is "dumb" cos he didn't give me antibiotics haha...
Anyway, I've been set back by $40 bucks...
Hope this clears my system within these 2 days...

Ugh..
Freaked out early this morning...
My fever went up to 39.2 degrees at 515am..
Gosh, I've never burned so hot before...Was tossing in bed feeling very uncomfy :(
Woke to take medication at 5am and discovered I was feeling faint..
Hate this feeling man..Aches & pains plus a constant state of grogginess..
Hope the fever clears by tomorrow.
It was 38.2 around 6pm..dropped to 37.8 around 8pm and then down to 37.3 at 9pm...
I apparently have some clashes with the Year of the Rat..
But I didn't expect the clash to be that great man...It's like as if it doesn't want to let me have it easy even in the last few days of the Year of the Rat...zzzz....
Sounding croaky still..hmm...
Cough's almost gone but the nose is starting to drip haha...

bleah
Looking at the fiscal calendar
08 ended on a not good note.
09 started on a not good note either...
Looking at the Lunar calendar...
Rat ended on a not good note...
Hope Ox will start on a very good note...
I fell sick. Woke with aches all over. Felt a little feverish but I thought I could handle it...
Was still managing alright except for the irritating aches...
Went back to office after lunch and I think the fever just ran loose...
Went to a doc and had 2 days MC...which is just as good since it caters for a long break for me...
Supposed to have met the man for dinner. Had to cancel.
Ended up cooking mee sua for myself....parents are out karaoke-ing and dancing at Aranda Country Club...
Just measured my temperature..It's around 37.6 or 37.7 still..
Didn't quite subside since the afternoon..Hope it goes away tomorrow...
My apologies for sounding absolutely down these past months...
But when things go down...they'll go up eventually right?
Hmm mm...
