From an Email...

A man escapes from a prison where he's been locked up for 15 years.
He breaks into a house to look for money and guns.
Inside, he finds a young couple in bed. He orders the guy out of bed and ties him to a chair.

While tying the homeowner's wife to the bed, the convict gets on top of her, kisses her neck, then gets up and goes into the bathroom.

While he's in there, the husband whispers over to his wife : ' Listen, this guy is an escaped convict. Look at his clothes ! He's probably spent a lot of time in jail and hasn't seen a woman in years. I saw how he kissed your neck. If he wants sex, don't resist, don't complain...do whatever he tells you. Satisfy him no matter how much he hurts you. This guy is obviously very dangerous. If he gets angry, he'll kill us both. Be strong, honey. I love you ! '

His wife responds : ' He wasn't kissing my neck. He was whispering in my ear.

He told me that he's gay, and he thinks you're cute. He asked if we had any Vaseline. I told him it was in the bathroom. You be strong, honey. I love you, too. '

Nobody Knows.

I hope this period tides over soon.

I hope things get settled.

And I hope everything will turn out okay.

Nobody knows. Only me and my shadow.

Everytime a step forward is taken, something happens to make it 2 steps back.

I am tired. I don't know what to expect anymore.

Losing faith is one thing. Losing trust is another.

I pray for strength and guidance and directions.

For I know not what to do nor what to expect anymore.

I just cleared $2,500 in insurance fees.

I was charged $90 for a 5-min consultation with the heart specialist today for my annual check-up at the National Heart Centre.

I will be charged $350 for a scan I'm slated to go for next week.

There's two weddings coming up for two close friends. Read: BIG ang pows are inevitable.

Nabeh.

I will be spending my whole month's salary and more...in the month of November.

They better not cut my pay in light of the recession. Else I'll cuss even more.

Alma Mater

HC, Rich & I went to NTU today for a meeting. We were looking for attachment students for our company.

It was a sight to behold.
Lol...It's been officially about 6.5 years since I went back to Canteen B..
Some stalls are different, some the same. Seats looked the same but there were nicer walls and some areas had nicer seats..

What puzzled me the most was the crowd.
I expected more chio bus as would the Buiness girls usually be. I expected more locals.

But all I saw was PRCs...hordes of them.
Maybe it's the school hols already hmm mmm....Dunno.

We had to cut through some tutorial rooms..Brought back not very happy memories though haha.

We had to climb up a bloody flight of stairs to get to the Student Affairs Office.

Wah lau. After 6 yers, I'd already forgotten how climbing those stairs was.
Or how hilly NTU can be. I was in pointy pumps. Low heels but the hike up the hilly terrain was still not very welcoming. haha...

It was nice. Very nice to drive past Chinese Heritage Centre, to go past Hall One and to see a girl wearing a Hall One T-Shirt...
Felt like asking her if they had an extra Hall One Tee for me hhaa...
It was nice seeing my old Lecture theatre...now happily renamed as Lee Kong Chian Theatre..

But most of all, it was nice sitting in Canteen B.
Taking in the air, taking in the sight of students writing notes and rushing some assignments.
It was nice drinking teh-o that cost $0.30. Where the hell can you find those prices outside of schools??
It was nice seeing the tables where I used to study at till the wee hours of the morning.

Memories...:)

Year In Year Out

A little sunny smile!
A little beam!
A little cheer!
Things are moving forward and I'm mighty glad.
Time to focus.
Time to think.
Time to plan for the year ahead.
Priorities, mission, vision, values, GOALS.
Been thinking on and off though not too much as yet
As my main focus is now on the upcoming exams and "the issue".
The man and I each bought a little horoscope book yesterday.

Dragon for him and Monkey for me.
We've only taken a short glance through,
But so far 2009 seems good with stars shining bright in certain months.
Career seems excellent and that is a comforting thought.
More to come at the end of the year,
When concrete plans and objectives and GOALS will be made!!

Le Discussion est Fini...Au Moins Pour Actuellement

The discussion is over, at least for now...

The issue was brought up for discussion yesterday..
With the parents..
I've been a ball of nerves for the past week or so
And I'm really glad the discussion is over

It went well...Cos the man has top-notch speaking skills.
Something which I sorely lack.
And which I cannot seem to be able to brush up on..

Guess I'm still someone who expresses better in writing or thoughts..
Try to translate that into words and it just gets the tongue entangled..

It will be a busy time ahead...
Trying at times, happy at times and perhaps also frustrating at times as well.

*keeps fingers crossed*
May everything go smoothly...:)

Danny boy and the shell

It has been a few days since I laughed out loud and had a bounce to my step…
The dinner with Daniel helped quite abit…
We were crapping about things and he was updating me with his stuff…both work & personal
It felt so sisterly actually lol…

I totally heart Daniel~!! hhaa..my bitching and crapping partner!!

Aerin’s at Raffles City is my new favourite place for meals…Cosy, with lighting just dim enough to make you feel a tad light-headed.

He was the only one whom I shared my recent stresses with. And I was mighty glad he had his ears for me last night. :)

I was the usual goofy furball during lunch today. Running & jumping around..laughing at the lunch table, picking on others and vice versa.

Come to think of it, I miss the cheerful side of me!
May this side of me rear its head more often! haha

Opps!!!! Part 2

Opps!

This lil fella brought a huge smile to my face today...:)

Jazzy Jazz

I have been going home with Jamie in the past few days...
Jamie Cullum that is...
It's been months since I've actively listened to his songs...
From the "Twentysomething" CD he launched in 2004.

Anyway, with the rainy, dreamy cool weather
It's nice listening to the likes of Elaine Elias, Michael Buble, Diana Krall, and Jamie Cullum...

Jazzy jazzy days ahead...

What A Difference A Day Made - Jamie Cullum

What a difference a day made, twenty four little hours

Brought the sun and the flowers where there use to be rain

My yesterday was blue dear

Today I'm a part of you dear

My lonely nights are through dear

Since you said you were mine

Oh, what a difference a day made

There's a rainbow before me

Skies above can't be stormy since that moment of bliss

That thrilling kiss

It's heaven when you find romance on your menu

What a difference a day made

And the difference is you, is you

My yesterday was blue dear

Still I'm a part of you dear

My lonely nights are through dear

Since you said you were mine

Oh, what a difference a day made

There's a rainbow before me

Skies above can't be stormy since that moment of bliss

That thrilling kiss

It's heaven when you find romance on your menu

What a difference a day madeAnd the difference is you, is you, is you

Mid-Afternoon Comic Relief

Wish you all the breast and stay pretty always!!!

HAHAHAHHAA Wah lau I was laughing out loud in office when I saw this message a friend sent me through Facebook…
Hmm mmm….seems his sub-consciousness is in overdrive hahhahahha!!!!

Poulet? Oeuf?

Lequel est d’abord? Le poulet ou l’oeuf? L’oeuf ou le poulet?
C’est le question universal…mais ne personne peut donner un réponse

Zain

As it is every year, 3rd November is the day I think of Zain Karim Masagoes.

It's his birthday. If he were still around, he would be the same age as me.
I think he’d have been a high-flyer with that intelligent brain and wealthy family background.

That impish grin, that insolent face, that floppy fringe. That “heck-care” bad boy attitude at such a young age…I still remember it all. He sat behind me in our P6 class.
There were times I felt I could strangle him, other times when we were good friends…

It’s been 13 years since he was robbed of his place in this world by throat cancer.
Rest in peace dear pal...

The Issue

The long-standing issue.

Has been broached again.

It's been on my mind for over a week.

And it's stressful and disturbing to have this in your head every single waking moment of the day.

Even when you're tryig to relax and enjoy yourself on a night out....

The issue's there right smack in the middle of your mind.

I hope it gets settled soon.

I hope a conclusion and an agreement will be reached by the end of this month, if not this year.

It's a little upsetting, a little unnerving, a little scary and a little sensitive.

But it's something which I need to go through.

Something which I cannot avoid, not again.

*prays*

I really hope it gets settled soon.

And I hope the one up there hears my wishes...

Year in year out, I don't really have birthday wishes

But this is really my birthday wish this year...

To settle this once and for all..

And get a direction how to move forward from thereon

Pictures speak louder than words.
Pimples. Sigh.
Red & inflammed & pussy...
Opps errr..I meant with a little bit of pus...

Heh...
I'm hitting 30! Why are pimples still popping up??!!?!?

Dead Meat??

I'm so gonna be dead meat.
Two French exams in December...
Xmas coming, CNY coming!!
Some other issues which have cropped up but still have not been solved...
I hope I have the focus to study and memorise my conjugations and tenses!!!
*freaks*
*pulls hair*

Le Vendredi

Friday evening was spent running from one place to another.

Lol, it was Morton's at Oriental Mandarin again.

Lovely lovey free flow steak sandwiches with garlic herb butter!

Lovely lovely martinis!

I seriously think theyserve the best martinis around town haha...:)

*SLURP*

Their martinis are strong, they don't stinge on the liquor and they certainly don't stinge on the servings either..

2 glass of lychee martinis was enough to make me a little woozy...

The company was lovely as usual.

The office gang that evening was a motley crew of a trained lawyer, an ex-police officer now training to be a paralegal, 2 econs graduate, an IT lady and oh well, me!!

RAWR!!

Way way enjoyable!!

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

Morton's was short though. Only an hour plus and I had to rush off to meet with Chloe, Jenice & my lovely burong, SS, over at Dempsey.

RedDot Brewhouse was the venue of the night and it was a nice place I must say.

Warm and cosy atmosphere.

I wasn't too overjoyed with the standard of the food but I shan't comment too much.

Haha..got food to eat good liao!

Especially when it's free too!! hahahhaa....

It was my belated birthday dinner treat...:)

Chloe took lotsa pics with her new snazzy camera...

But I think the rest of us bore the brunt of it...

Double-flashes and red lights in your eyes for a few hours can definitely make you see stars!

I was a little too indulgent too and had a pint and a half of ale.

Beer = malt & wheat = calories = potential to jack up the cholesterol level

Hahahhaa....but it was the last day of my birthday month and I though, ah, what the heck..;p

Didn't realise I missed SS so much! haha...

Wanted to smother him with a bear hug initially...

But I guess I was too lazy to get out of my chair when he finally arrived hehe...

Popped by Olio for tea afterwards..

Lots of anecdotes and pics and vidoes for the night...

Don't quite have them now though...at least not yet..! Still with Chloe..

RAWR!!

Way enjoyable too!

Despite the fact that some flew kites? Ahhahaha

ANTM

America's Next Top Model.

Uh-oh, I have no idea why but I love the show!

I used to "chase" season after season....till Channel 5 started the programme later and later at night.

Bless the souls who created the website where I've been getting my doses of free TV-shows and movies...

*beams*

I've been watching various seasons of ANTM, catching up on what I have missed haha

Tyra Banks is cool...and I like how her skin glows!

But NIGEL BARKER rocks big time! Extremely gorgeous and I luuurrrvvvve his accent!!!

Jay Manuel ranks high on the list too which his intense eyes and Latino look haha..

Oh well...reality shows are interesting!

*Boing-Boing*

We are seriously not fated with Kangoo.

The weather looked fine at 1-plus and so PQ, YY & I decided to head to ECP for a Kangoo session.

We fixed a time at 3pm.

And voila.

It's a repeat of last Monday.

The skies turned dark.

Thunder rolled in the distance.

And our exercise session was cancelled yet again.

~Bleah~
