Ok, I apologise for my outburst.
It's just that when you have told someone umpteen times not to do something.
And that person still does it.
You can't help but feel frustrated.
Oh well. TGIF.....lun.
Looking forward to 530pm.
Cos I'll be seeing a special someone...:)

sigh
I worked hard for a paper. Dabao-ed lunch for a few days and OT-ed for it.
And now I just found out that the presentation date for that paper is now on 28 Sept. I won’t be around. It was supposed to be in mid-October but was rescheduled. The boss may be getting another guy to present on my behalf.
I admit, I’m a little disappointed that I won’t get the air-time in front of the 2 big bosses who will chair that meeting.
Less exposure = less recognition

I’m not sure if this is what they term as the “biological clock ticking away”…
But in recent months, I have wondered how it would be like to have a kid of my own. How it would feel like carrying it to full term and how it would be like bringing a child up. A child with my genes running through its bloodstreams. Hmm, I’ve even wondered how would the child look like. And what lessons in life would I teach to my child…what clothes and toys would I buy? Would I get impatient? Would I be a good mother?
Cham.
I think the bio clock really exists…..

The government is too strict!!!!

Reflection Time
Just a little something I received in the mail...
=====
A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were aloving couple and the boy was the gem of their eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open.
He was late for office so he asked his wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. His wife, preoccupied in the kitchen totally forgot the matter. The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle, was fascinated by its color and drank it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages. When the child collapsed the mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died.
The mother was stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband. When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, helooked at his wife and uttered just five words.
What will you do if you were the husband?
More QUESTIONS :
1. What were the five words?
2. What is the implication of this story?
ANSWER :
The husband just said ' I am with you Darling '
The husband's totally unexpected reaction is a proactive behavior. The child is dead. He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away, this would not have happened. No one is to be blamed. She had also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her. If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer problems in the world. '
A journey of a thousand milesbegins with a single step ' . Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness, and fears. And you will find things are actually not as difficult as you think.

Bees no more
On hindsight, I think K was quite right.
When the green light appears above a girl’s head signifying availability and singlehood, the bees naturally come buzzing. When that green light turns to red, the bees stay away.
The bees from the 1st quarter of this year have all but disappeared.
Human behaviour can be so interesting at times. Loads to observe.

Yellow Ribbons Aflutter
I went for the Yellow Ribbon Prison Run yesterday. :)
Finished the 5.8km fun run. I was very slow but steady enough.
I felt very happy about it…for 2 reasons.
1. I felt good after the run. I didn’t feel overly breathless and could still run an extra 500-600m to the baggage collection area. Hehe…
2. It was my first run with K! Though we had different routes but at least we did something together…And that’s what matters most! :))))

The right bunion is aching now though...bleah.
Next up: SCM in December…

Wise Words
A woman can never have too many bags, shoes, make up, sex and love.

Lol, this is the kind of advice you get from your girlfriends from time to time. ;p
TGIF
Woke this morning feeling a groggy and tired. :(
The tum’s acting up again. Too much restaurant food this week perhaps.
Hope I’ll feel better later on.
Jiayou!

Berlari-lari
I did a 4km jog just now. yay!
It was excrutiatingly slow but yes, managed to complete it...:)
I hope Sunday's inclined slopes will be merciful to me and my legs...

abstractism
I was brought up in an autocratic family.
Submerged since birth in an almost vile liquid of authoritarianism.
Close to 30 years in the jar. I feel pickled by now. Almost turgid.
Preserved in a state of inertia and ensconced in a bubble of nothingness.
Emotionally rich but clueless. Mentally adept but clueless.
The mind seeks reprieve yet knows not how.
I slip and slide. Within the rut.
It is said when preserved food jars traverse past their date of expiry, naturally built up gases from within forces the jar cap off in a somewhat explosive occurrence.
The jar has been shaken. Not stirred. More gases build. Pressure is rising.
Albeit at slow rates. In the meantime. The dams are open.

Love Without Talking

Ffffttttpppphhhttttt........
Why is it that no one wants to think of a place to go to. “Anything” becomes the reply when the question of where dinner should be is thrown at them.
But when a venue is suggested, counter-suggestions and comments flow in fast and furious like the Yangtze River. “Too far to walk leh”, “The food not very good there leh”, “Err, can we go elsewhere”, “Is there anything for me to eat there?”. Yada. Yada. Yada.
Whine. Whine. Whine.
You don’t like the place then you bloody well suggest one and you bloody well organise the gathering.
A dinner is just a dinner is just a dinner. Sure food matters somewhat but the company you’ll be with matters more right???
I am cheesed off. Period.

Growing Old - Redux
I’ve got 3 old folks at home. Well, technically one of them is now in a nursing home.
For the last 15 or 16 years of my life, I’ve seen enough of medicines, pills, liquids, sprays, creams, mixtures, supplements, lotions, strange breathing apparatuses, etc.
Hearing of them heading to medical check-ups every other week has become just a routine thing.
Dad needs to go for an op. Now mum needs to go a procedure as well.
The mum is a little upset. Don't really know how to console her.
