We need a relationship with God, not a religion.

Because I knew he is a strong visionary and he had everything it took - whatever he did he would succeed. That's just the way it is - his determination and focus. He wasn't too hard to believe in.
Respect and love each other, and that respect is huge. Laugh a lot. Remember the good times. Keep it light. Don't take yourself so seriously. Truly love each other and communicate. Believe in yourself.
Sometimes we're looking for love. But really, love's not found until its given away.
I watched how he treated his family, I watched how he treated his friends, I watched how he even went about his daily activities, his work activities. Those are the things I watched. I didn't watch what he said to me. I watched what he did and so that's what got me excited and I thought that this is someone I could fall in love with and commit that love. Because I wanted somebody who is a go-getter, someone I didn't have to drag. I want to just be running at their same pace.

Can you meet me halfway
Meet me halfway, right at the borderline
Took my heart to the limit, and this is where i'll stay
I can't go any further than this
I can't go any further than this
Last year, I asked Him, "Where could he be? I know he's out there somewhere looking for me. I hope he finds me soon."

Happy birthday.
Its a time I look forward to every year to celebrate me. While others tend to be shy about their birthdays, I've no qualms letting others know how excited I am especially once it hits 1st Oct (a dear colleague of mine can attest to this one!). But it is after all, a personal affair and I've always preferred to celebrate it with close friends and Mom. Which I did.
Save the presents, cake and candles. Although I did receive a lovely card in my mailbox, snail mailed, today (perfectly timed, i have to say) from a friend of 8 years. Plenty of birthday wishes received from all over, which I truly appreciate, including one from a dear friend from miles away which made me cry... for always wishing only the best for me. Oh, it makes me teary eyed just thinking about it!
I've got everything I need and I'm truly blessed for all the things I have, all that's happened and the love from people around me.
Thank you.

Silent Lucidity
Hush now dont cry
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye
Youre lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream
Spinning in your head
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
Of someone close to you leaving the game of life
So here it is, another chance
Wide awake you face the day
Your dream is over...or has it just begun?
Theres a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run to in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didnt realize it and you were scared
Its a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the tears
And ride the whims of your mind
Commanding in another world
Suddenly, you hear and see
This magic new dimension
I will be watching over you
I am gonna help you see it through
I will protect you in the night
I am smiling next to you...in silent lucidity
If you open your mind for me
You wont rely on open eyes to see
The walls you built within
Come tumblng down, and a new world will begin
Living twice at once you learn
You're safe froom pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly
A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, can you realize
Your dreams alive, you can be the guide but...

Halfway
PMS. I need ME back!
Sunday, February 22, 2009
Confide In Me
I stand in the distanceI view from afar
Should I offer some assistance
Should it matter who you are
We all get hurt by love
And we all have our cross to bear
But in the name of understanding now
Our problems should be shared
I can keep a secret
And throw away the key
But sometimes to release it
Is to set our children free
Stick or twist the choice is yours
Hit or miss what's mine is yours

I Use Facebook to Keep in Touch With People
No, the truth is you're nosy. Admit it. You scour the profiles of other people for the same reason I do. You want to know their business. Facebook isn't addictive—your desire to know what other people are up to is addictive. The over-sharing thrills you. I know I'm hooked. Don't you hunt through your friends' walls looking for any scrap of information that will produce that warm tingly schadenfreude feeling?
Facebook is our own personal reality show and our friends are the stars. What else besides "American Idol" or "Project Runway" allows you to be so judgmental while wearing pajamas? If people stopped revealing ridiculous stuff about themselves in their status updates, "Rock of Love" would be your "guilty pleasure" instead. You know you're dying to discover your college roommate lives in a trailer in his mom's backyard. I literally cried from joy when I saw that an ex-boyfriend was sporting a comb-over.

A friend told me today that I need to work harder, save more and enjoy less, and that I'm getting lazy already. He may just be right?
I got a burnt mark the size of a ping pong ball on my right leg, from a scald while getting on a bike in ID. I lost my balance because of the strong currents and slipped while standing on a rock in the middle of the ocean in TH. The scars from the nasty wound are still there. I've also a tiny mark on my left wrist, scratched by a whizzing motorbike in VN. Memories physically imprinted... Where's where next?

"Where were you on Friday night? I called you so many times..."
I was kinda taken aback by that question. Not that it hasn't happened before. But this time i understand more why. And i know just what he is thinking...

20 days? he's nervous and excited... lol` i didn't think he'd actually be counting down!

i miss... the best moments.
the 8-hr long drive. talking, laughing, All Good Kids Like Milk, me driving!, Google Earth, sipping hot tea and ovaltine and slurping half boiled eggs with freshly ground pepper at 4 in the morning, exploring, darkness, gorgeous lights lining the hills, talking till i fell asleep. oh, i wish it could happen all over again...
enjoying a cuppa coffee rum under a cosy canopy by the river
life is too short. what's the fun if you don't take risks.
It's better to say too much
Then never to say what you need to say again
Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open... wide...
Say what you need to say
Then never to say what you need to say again
Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open... wide...
Say what you need to say

i just got back from a day at the office, getting settled in at my new desk, and dinner & movie with a friend. sex and the city was heartwarming. there's so much love...
which reminded me... of what someone said to me just yesterday, "I love you. Whatever it is, always know that there's someone in your life who loves(d) you."
Monday, May 26, 2008
The only caveat is this: you have to acknowledge what the relationship is. Don't ignore problems to push the relationship forward, or make problems where there are none.
Nothing in life is guaranteed. You can no more predict your perfect health until you are 80 than predict her accidental death at 40. What you can do is look at things straight on, see them for what they are, and respond accordingly.
The least which we have in common is our age. The most we have in common is heart and mind. Which do you think matters most?
It is love that is the center of everything, not the number of years since your birth. It is love which creates alignment and balance between two people. What matters is that you love each other and belong together. In addition, there is no guarantee Nancy will outlive you.
First, both parties should be old enough to have experienced life. Both need to be adults. Second, neither party can have a problem with the difference in years. And finally, the two must have that connection between them which makes them right for each other.

All Good Kids Like Milk
i thought he was kidding. we stopped at a tiny gas station, pumped some and he told me to get out. i don't know how to drive!
Aim High in Steering • Find an Imaginary target. • Centers car in traffic lane. Safe path on turns. • “Find a safe path well ahead.”
Get the Big Picture • How wide and deep? What’s in it? • Keeps you away from billboards. Smooth stops and turns. • “Stay back and see it all.”
Keep Your Eyes Moving • Move eyes. Front: 2 seconds. Rear: 5-to-8 seconds. • Keeps you alive at intersections. Keeps eyes ahead of car. • “Scan — don’t stare.”
Leave Yourself an Out • Have an escape route. Take path of least resistance. • Space on all four sides, but always in front. • “Be prepared. Expect the unexpected.”
Make Sure They See You • Communicate in traffic — horn, lights, signals. • Establishes eye-to-eye contact. • “Don’t gamble. Use your horn, lights, and signals.”

Take me on a trip, I'd like to go some day.
Take me to New York, I'd love to see LA.
I really want to come kick it with you.
You'll be my American Boy.

a moment of faith.
its these occassional moments when we take a moment to say a prayer for the departed and ponder on our own lives... sometimes that's all it takes to reach into our hearts to get us back on track to what's truly important.
i'm sure a good friend of mine would agree... life is too short, do the things that makes you happy and don't worry.
i'm thankful i had that moment today to talk to God with my heart and hope he has me in his.
i adore flowers. the Victorians used to use flowers as a symbol to express their feelings. flowers have had hidden meanings derived from mythology, folklore, religious and historical symbolism. the floral bouquet you send or receive brings a special coded message, depending on the flowers you choose.
the study of the meaning of flowers is an actual science known as floriography, and it reveals an extra underlying meaning to sending or receiving flowers - subtle and secret messages can be passed through the different blooms.
during the 18th century sending flower messages based on a Turkish secret language of flowers became popular. this was known as sending a 'Persian Selam' - a coded bouquet to reveal your feelings of love or attraction. the Victorians became very knowledgable in flower language and chose their bouquets carefully. flowers gave them a secret language that enabled them to communicate feelings that the propriety of the times would not allow, there were strict restraints on courtship and any displays of emotion.
i love going down to the market or wholesalers for fresh flowers. the colours, smells and variety plays with my senses. having the freedom to browse, admire and hand pick my own flowers for that perfect bouquet. i do not like fancy florists.
today, i had a special reason to get some fresh flowers for a very special person. i pick out 20 stalks of two-toned carnations... without any trimmings. save the baby's breath and all the other accompaniments. perhaps just a ribbon wrapped around the stalks. that's how i like my flowers... on its own, raw, fresh and beautiful.

chatterbox is officially gone. but you can still put in your comments ok!
its almost end of october :-(
kl trip was awesome - i really had fun in the evenings after the 8-hr long training sessions. 18 colleagues from over 10 countries coming together, i made some great friends who i can share my joys and frustrations over work. been some time since i went to kl so totally maximised the week by going around town with ms philippines and ms indonesia. accomodation's great, food was great and shopping's great too. my mom fell sick the day after i left, she sure did miss a me lot.. lol`
birthday? well, it was sweet. the boyfriend picked me up from home to a restaurant at club st, we got on a really nice river cruise and he got me a pretty expensive gift. dinner was simply delightful and it turned out to be one of the best dates *grinz*. didn't i say i didn't need expensive gifts, fancy dinners? i'm not complaining.. and i got my wish too.
haven't manage to meet up with the ladies since! i'm looking forward to the birthday cookies from leng... lol` and of course the good ol' catching up. :-P
hmm... hari raya gets simpler and quieter every year. will be goin to my colleague's open house tomorrow! i still have lotsa green packets in my bag... lol`
oh yes, i've just shifted to a new location! everyday, i get to see planes taking off and boats sailing by the coast against the backdrop of beautiful skies. its really nice but getting to work can be a chore if i weren't carpooling with my colleague. a chore is an understatement actually. my office operates 24/7 but unfortunately access is restricted to employees only.. wish i could take you here`
am back in school! :-)
reflecting back... october's been wonderful. if its too wonderful to be true, then it probably is. Like the saying goes "When you laugh too much, you are more apt to cry. And when you cry too much you can laugh at the drop of a hat."

its a pretty good monday because the time seemed to tick by pretty quickly. perhaps its because i've quite a handful to accomplish today. i just learnt that a colleague of mine will be transferring to another office next month. its quite sad because she one of my closest colleague and the one who's been teaching me abt work while i was settling in. nonetheless, i'm wishing her all the best!
talkin about having a handful to accomplish today... because i've been on mc on thu and fri. been hit by the stomach virus. all i did the last 4 days was lay in bed, feelin all nauseas and having little appetite. it was horrible. erm, but i did sneak in a trip to the night safari on friday night with and mr kabes and the hbo crew. it was fun!
didn't manage to squeeze in some time to visit ted!
32? yes. my gut feelin is quite reliable. rather its not gut feelin but pure logical sense. financially, and mostly mentally and emotionally.

been shopping and shopping... its burning me out (physically) but i needed to get some office wear. got a few pieces that i really love... a cream satin shirt from zara, mng black linen pants and a pair of red shooos amongst others.
went to a friend's friend wedding at the asian civilisation museum yesterday and it was lovely!
i got up at 530 this morning... having had just about 4 hours of sleep, i was almost dozing off at the one-on-one training with my senior. gosh` well, day one was alright. far too many names to remember. they only have one. some things just seemed familiar... the little mermaid keychain, the faces, places... its just weird.

we all have something that we wished or imagined. the perfect date, being treated like a princess, engaging in something wild and crazy, being swept off your feet and all that jazz... but the reality of life and its practicalities forces us to get real, shoving all that in the realms of our deepest fantasies. i almost entirely forgot it existed... thanks for bringing it all back to me.
i just did the quiz again and was pretty sure that the results would be different because i don't think i'm feelin the same as i did. apparently NOT! *frowns*

Confident and strong
Glamorous and elegant
Devoted and sensitive
Introspective and expressive

Playful, to the point of it being a game
Well thought out dates, where you pull out all the stops
Light and flirty
You make the other person the center of attention
Passionate and full force
Zany, wild, and never exactly the same (i chose this answer because of the "never exactly the same" part)
Sweet and subtle
A superb ability to be flexible
You fall back and let yourself be chased
Make things as romantic and ideal as possible

Intense conversation over lots of coffee
Going to the zoo or some botanical gardens
A rock concert
Elegant and extravagant
A political rally, poetry reading, or some other non-date date
An exciting and spontaneous weekend together
the puzzle's slowly falling into place. nineteen.
sometimes, i either don't comment or my comments come in politically correct sentences - tactful and diplomatic. drives the other person who wants to know how i think/feel nuts. i don judge someone i hardly barely know.
i think leng would be interested to know about my little "outing" last night. as much as i want to get into details, i think i'll save it for another day. the unexpected rain ruined what was planned but i thought the turn of events and spontaneaty made it all more interesting. : )

i was lying down next to my cat and feeling so bored that i decided to come on and write... she's still on my bed cleaning herself. that cute little thing`
here i am listening to class. rang av ealier but didn't get a response. i'm hungry, even tho my tummy's been feeling quesy since i got back. i'm having a craving for pastries, ice cream and some more of that fish n chips! luckily the headache's slowly easing away. so much for thinking... decisions. choices. making a stand. course of action. consequences. its as if the training earlier wasn't tiring enough - mentally. anyway, i decided to put that aside after talking to mom and deal with it the first thing monday morning. let's savour the weekend or what's left of it now`
i almost forgot about today's training. somehow, i thought i had the weekend free... but couldn't be because i usually have my plans all lined up and making the fullest of the weekend... and at times, making the most could mean sleeping in the day and just making some time just for 'ME'.
went thro my diary last night and realise i had to be up early (again) for a whole day's training. i'm really longing for a good sleep-in sunday... tomorrow! well, training was lots of fun! i'm looking at the yellow certificate now with my name on it for the day's training on hosting and business etiquette.

i must say that we were very well taken care of, as in there were proper scheduled breaks and they were well catered for. the lunch and refreshments for breakfast and tea were yummy! but, i didn't quite have enough fill for myself... because somehow, i found myself occupied with socialising. my team was great - lionel, ben, wei quan, herman and myself. come to think of it, i was the only girl in my team while the 3 other teams had just 1 guy each. we're grouped according to our birth months and my group was for the later part of the year. the other friends i've made were a wonderful lot! but one thing's for sure - i like being 'her excellency'! lol`
hmmm... where did she (my cat) go? oh well, i'm gonna sleep-in tomorrow... get up just in time for brunch and then head to ea for the afternoon. after that, its free and easy... :)

i was just surfing the net to find out whether there's anything posted abt AMMY V and look what i found!
Okay, here’s the jist/gist of it. That whole secretive hoo-haa that I’ve been giving you!!!
Today’s interview was for the position of Liaison officer for the delegates coming down to SG for the upcoming ASEAN Ministerial Meeting on Youth 2007, aka, AMMY V (it’s the 5th one so far)…
Everything is pretty much still in the works at the moment… but I had a good time at the interview today. If you can call that an interview at all…. More of a ‘get to know each other’ session, a one-on-one session with our future ‘bosses’. I made a new friend today! She’s an eurasian.. her name’s norshidah… she’s a muslim, but still, an eurasian.. She’s pretty nice. I don’t know, maybe I got abit too forth coming and too warm for her liking, she seemed pretty weirded out by me at first. heh.
Yaaaaaay!!!!! hahaha… New friend new friend new friend!!! (:
so cute! haha`

workout wednesdays
wednesdays is my (our?) pre-alloted sports day. yesterday was quite a workout...
lost: some weight in my wallet
gained: a dress + 2 pants + 6 tops
the dress is gorgeous but a bit of a blunder. because the back slit went right up to my you know where. that's for shopping alone and having no one to watch my back. haha` i had fun nonetheless *bliss*

i'm a happy bunny.
Saturday, March 03, 2007
today i find myself coming back home and ranting to my mom. it was one of those bouts again... altho she's the last person i'd tell all that to because of the impression that it'd create on that someone, i just had to let it out of my chest. she's one that i can tell just about anything to. perhaps i needed affirmation, someone to be my devil's advocate or simply a listening ear... call it whatever you may want.
why did you put me in such a position? i wonder what would i have done. either way, it wouldn't have been any good.
utterly disappointed.
still am.
you're losing it. seriously.

SMS flirting on the rise
By Mak Mun San - Feb 17, 2007
The Straits Times
FASHION buyer Diane (not her real name) is happily attached to a man whom she intends to marry.
But for the past year, she has also been secretly flirting with a colleague via SMS. Sometimes, she will even indulge in naughty SMS exchanges with her 'virtual lover' while she is out with her boyfriend.
'I know it's wrong but I can't help it,' she says. 'SMS flirting is so convenient. You can do it anywhere and anytime. Best of all, it's silent.'
Whatever you call it, there is no running away from the fact that SMS, which stands for short message service, has become an increasingly popular avenue for flirting among Singaporeans.
Almost a quarter - or 23 per cent - of people here are guilty of sending sexy or flirtatious messages to someone other than their own partner.
That is according to a recent online survey by Britain-based software developer LogicaCMG, which surveyed more than 8,500 people in the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Russia, Italy, Britain and Germany, as well as Singapore.
It was conducted last November and the results were released on Thursday.
However, Singaporeans still trail their Malaysian neighbours in virtual cheating - 40 per cent of the latter are said to engage in flirtatious messaging behind their partner's back.
Singaporeans are ranked fourth across the various countries surveyed. Malaysia is first, followed by the Philippines and Russia.
LogicaCMG handles over half of the text messages sent between mobile phones around the world.
According to the study, Singaporeans are among the most likely to use their mobile phones to get out of a relationship. It is ranked second, after the Philippines.
Almost one in 10 respondents - or 9 per cent - have dumped a partner via SMS.
In the poll of about 1,000 mobile phone users in Singapore aged between 16 and 64, 30 per cent said they have flirted with their current partner via SMS.
Commenting on the findings, LogicaCMG telecoms chief marketing officer Jayne Chace says: 'The reaction people have when their phone beeps to signal an incoming message resonates deeply within them, and this brings out the best and worst in people.'
The number of SMS messages sent in Singapore has been rising steadily in recent years.
According to the latest half-yearly statistics from the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore, 949.6 million SMS messages were sent in Singapore in December last year alone, compared to about 840 million in December 2005.
The survey also showed that 21 per cent of respondents say they have checked their partner's mobile phone to see if there were messages from other people.
Private investigator Dennis Lee from Covert Acquisition tells Life! that the number is 'low' and he suspects that the real figure could be higher.
He says that about 70 or 80 per cent of his clients regularly check their partner's phones for suspicious messages or calls.
The remaining 20 per cent either have not done so because they respect their partner's privacy or could not do so as their partner's phone is protected by a password.
He adds that sometimes, checking a partner's phone might not be such a bad thing.
'It is healthier to check rather than let your imagination run wild,' he says.
However, marriage counsellor Benny Bong from consulting and training agency FamilyWorks feels that the survey results for SMS flirting and phone checking is a worrying sign.
'It is something that is waiting to explode,' he says.
'Many people are playing with the idea that SMS flirting is not dangerous, but they are just fooling themselves.'

If you soften down a little your tendency to poke fun at everything, you'll peacefully enjoy pleasures of love; otherwise expect storms! Clear improvement of the state of your finances. At work, you'll prove what you're capable of.

made pasta for brunch
my brother's whacked it even before i could get my camera
Wednesday, February 14, 2007
"And why do people insist that I should watch a romantic film with my boyfriend? Honestly, does it make a difference? Isn't cinema a solitary experience*? I mean, do you interact with your significant other during a movie (Save for people who make use of any chance being in the dark to make out)? I know I don't. My entire focus is on the screen... which makes me wonder why people give me a strange look when I say I like to watch movies alone.
I am perplexed. Maybe I am not made for being a great romantic.
* Kieslowski would argue with me that Film is a group experience while Television is a solitary one. He says that he has never seen a couple make an effort to watch a television program together and hold hands while doing so. You turn on the television anytime; whether you are alone or not. For Film, a couple makes a point to watch a film and go through the emotional experience of it together.
Hence, for thinking about about the viewing procedures and pleasures of Film and Television in-depthly, Kieslowski is my film hero. Of course there are many other reasons as to why I mention Kieslowski, but then I'll be digressing.
Since it's Valentines tomorrow. Here's a Kieslowski quote for all of you who believe in that day.
We're always looking at this love through the eyes of the person who is suffering because of this love. -Krzysztof Kieslowski "

Shitty experience
I think i've mentioned before that besides having a p6 class as my form class, i am also teaching maths for a p2 class. Today i had such a shitty experience with this p2 class that i've to blog it.
This is what happen....
While i was teaching, a parent came to my class and asked permission if she could speak to her child. Of cos, i said can but since i did not want the parent to disrupt the class by being in the classroom and distract the other curious students, i kindly asked the boy to leave the classroom to speak to his mum. Strangely, the boy kept shaking his head showing refusal to leave the classroom. I was like apa sak ni budak?!? So i invited the mum into the class.
The concerned mum asked the boy if he was feeling well. This blur2 boy was nodding and shaking his head at the same time. He is blur and confused, i think. The strangest thing was he didn;t wanna get up from his seat. The rest of the class was already getting restless and started to make unnecessary noise. So i let the mum and son be alone and went back to teaching. As i was engrossed teaching and writing something on the whiteboard with my back against the class, i heard the mum call for me. I turned behind and saw both mum and son were ready to go home.
I was like, wah....champion, they can pack the bag really fast, in less than 30 seconds. I granted permission and both mum and son stormed out of the classroom. I was really amused at that point of time. What's the hurry, in my opinion?!
Suddenly, the student beside that sick boy said, "Mr Ishak, what is this?!" pointing to the chair that the sick boy sat on. I went over and saw shit on that chair. Yes, it's shit. You know the watery watery kind where it's light brown in colour? I think you get my point.
I wanted to puke at the smell sia. I was like what the f%$@?!!
The other students were starting to crowd around the chair. You know how curious these p2 kids are. I know i cannot tell them, "Oh kids, this is wat u call shit!" So i just told them that this is water from that boy's water bottle. These p2 kids are damn gullible and will believe whatever you say. Even if you say you are superman's descendant.
Whatever it is, i started to feel nauseaus and gave the students some work before i carried the chair to the nearby toilet and wash using the water sprinkler. I din even dare to touch the shit with my hands. As i was washing, i reflected on my luck and told myself that MOE pays me a few K to wash ppl's shit.
Actually, i've a confession to make. When i was in p2, i shitted in my classroom also and my teacher had to wash my shit for me. Hahaha.
I guess what they say is true. What goes around, comes around.
Shitty experience
I think i've mentioned before that besides having a p6 class as my form class, i am also teaching maths for a p2 class. Today i had such a shitty experience with this p2 class that i've to blog it.
This is what happen....
While i was teaching, a parent came to my class and asked permission if she could speak to her child. Of cos, i said can but since i did not want the parent to disrupt the class by being in the classroom and distract the other curious students, i kindly asked the boy to leave the classroom to speak to his mum. Strangely, the boy kept shaking his head showing refusal to leave the classroom. I was like apa sak ni budak?!? So i invited the mum into the class.
The concerned mum asked the boy if he was feeling well. This blur2 boy was nodding and shaking his head at the same time. He is blur and confused, i think. The strangest thing was he didn;t wanna get up from his seat. The rest of the class was already getting restless and started to make unnecessary noise. So i let the mum and son be alone and went back to teaching. As i was engrossed teaching and writing something on the whiteboard with my back against the class, i heard the mum call for me. I turned behind and saw both mum and son were ready to go home.
I was like, wah....champion, they can pack the bag really fast, in less than 30 seconds. I granted permission and both mum and son stormed out of the classroom. I was really amused at that point of time. What's the hurry, in my opinion?!
Suddenly, the student beside that sick boy said, "Mr Ishak, what is this?!" pointing to the chair that the sick boy sat on. I went over and saw shit on that chair. Yes, it's shit. You know the watery watery kind where it's light brown in colour? I think you get my point.
I wanted to puke at the smell sia. I was like what the f%$@?!!
The other students were starting to crowd around the chair. You know how curious these p2 kids are. I know i cannot tell them, "Oh kids, this is wat u call shit!" So i just told them that this is water from that boy's water bottle. These p2 kids are damn gullible and will believe whatever you say. Even if you say you are superman's descendant.
Whatever it is, i started to feel nauseaus and gave the students some work before i carried the chair to the nearby toilet and wash using the water sprinkler. I din even dare to touch the shit with my hands. As i was washing, i reflected on my luck and told myself that MOE pays me a few K to wash ppl's shit.
Actually, i've a confession to make. When i was in p2, i shitted in my classroom also and my teacher had to wash my shit for me. Hahaha.
I guess what they say is true. What goes around, comes around.

it was awesome being at the national stadium catching live soccer! lol` my first experience of such.... the atmosphere was amazing and the weirdest thing was it felt so surreal - the weather was chilly. i just felt i could stand there with the wind in my hair and taking in the energy and spirit of the 55 thousand strong crowd. the entire was vibrating when we're doin the kallang roar! haha it wasn't the same during national day.
quite an experience i must say, plus all that drama on the pitch. for a while, i really didn't know what was really goin on because the bad part of it all was that there was no commentary at the stadium. weird ain't it... to think we're there at the stadium but the last to know what was really happening until we got to know from some friends who was watching it at home. lol` anyways, it was a lot of fun being with hafizh and his bunch of very nice down-to-earth friends.
i met my brother and friends while waiting for hafizh. he introduced me to each of his friends... which i found really nice of him. haha, how much he's grown... anyway, i got to know that one of his friends kept askin about and wanted to get to know me. lol` the way my brother told me on how he noticed his friend went all dreamy eyed when he was introducing me was funny! i just saw his friendster, for the fun of it! and i saw this line on his "About Me"...
ps: guys, if u r lookin at my profile; can i get 2 noe ur sis?
rofl` cute. in a brotherly kinda way... haha.

She says:
Told you i'm goin hrc and you replied that you can't join me and asked me to have fun. You could have asked me how i'm going home instead...
He says:
Because the reply would be
1) Your friend will be sending you back
2) Why do I want to know
3) You cannot say
4) You will tell me not to worry and that you'll be fine
And that i don't have to ask you to call because you're forgetful abt it and ur battery will die ald by that time so i'll end up calling ur home instead and waking your family up just to hear your sleepy voice knowing you're safely home while i've been keeping myself up while you enjoy and i'm working. ok?

Karikal Mahal
"Last Wednesday, I trudged the streets of Katong, letting memory lead the way. I passed by this old rundown place, located at 25/26 Still Road South. It turns out to be the former Grand Hotel (pictured above), now just a ghost of its old grandeur."
In 1917, Moona Kader Sultan, a wealthy Indian cattle merchant built the Karikal Mahal, or the Grand Hotel as it was later known. Originally a complex of four houses, the luxurious gardens were split into two with the construction of Still Road in 1973. Part of the former hotel at 26 Still Road South has been gazetted for conservation. This grand dame remains a looker, retaining much of her Victorian splendour with charming turrets, ornate façade plaster decorations and breezy bay windows.
The Renaissance Grand Hotel or Grand Hotel, as it was popularly known was also known as Karikal Mahal or Karikal Palace after owner's home town. Originally owned by Moona Kadir Sultan, a wealthy Indian cattle merchant, it boasted of majestic flamboyance. Moona Kadir Sultan bought the land in 1917 and erected his mansion in 1920 at a cost of $500,000. Resplendent fountains, a miniature lake and enchanting angel figurines drew people to his villa. Beyond the hotel yard, the crash of the sea waves serenaded the air. It was converted into a hotel in 1947 and still stands in its near original form.
In 1973, the government acquired the land for the purpose of constructing roads. Still Road was constructed there and Grand Hotel was split into two, one side of the road with the mansion and the other side with the mansion's garden.
i can simply imagine the how magnificent this building must have stood in its glory days. am so intrigued... to tink i was actually dreaming of living in such a place! if only... well, it does look really creepy now but the place is just gorgeous.
apparently, the hotel's still listed... care to call?

switched to the new blogger. still not too sure about the new features and how to use them.
been some time since my last post... work's been occupying a lot of my time, plus lots of other things. its all about time management and prioritising. i'm not at all the best person in getting my thoughts and the things i want to do organised. most of the time, i tend to end up doing all the things at one time. women are good multi-taskers they say.
susah senang, siapa yang tahu.

i'm really busy with work n stuff. not because its year end but just handling the daily plus added workload. the 2 part-timers are quite a pleasure to have around i must say... received christmas presents! a personalised mug, a gucci teddy, candy and little knick-knacks.
just the other day i had a flashback while on my way to work. flashback on the year that's passed. well, its pretty amazing. i seldom can recall an entire years' memories but somehow, the highlights flashed across my mind.
i'm kinda looking forward to jan6/7. am excited abt it... altho its really just for the fun of it.
i tink i wanna go for a holiday after the peak season, if i can afford it. perhaps serene phuket or exotic sri lanka. i'm leaning towards sri lanka! i can get accomodation arranged! will someone please plan everything else for me?
my brother's gonna be done with poly come march next year and will be goin for ns. he's taken the fitness test and classified pes a! i hope he gets into some elite force and shares with me all his stories... lol` yes, we girls would never know what it truly is like to be in the force. let's just keep it tt way :P
we've caught the holiday, eragon and dejavu recently. i love movies like the holiday... its so heartwarming.
i can sleep in tomorrow, sunday and monday! sofri's birthday this sunday. my cousin's wedding dinner at the swissotel the coming friday.
a weekend + a holiday + 3 working weekdays + a party day + a weekend + 2 holidays
there's so much to look forward to! mmm... but i ain't as excited as i should be or usually will be.

that "s" word
perhaps it was the morning call that got me all highly strung the entire day. i'm feeling the headache i had that time. the headache that made me feel all queasy in the stomache, that tinge of coldness at the back of your head and everything around you just doesn't seem to look the same. that extra sanwich, water/juice or staring less at the monitor didn't help, neither did a couple of panadols... but fresh air did ease it a bit. sometimes i'd go home complaining to my mom at the door of my splitting headache and then sleep it away.
i rarely have headaches before.
did eventually popped by the doctor, just to have a check... he said that its probably stress but am not aware. if this is how stress is suppose to feel, it sucks.
i'm sure i'll feel a little better in 2 weeks time... make that 10 days. hopefully there'll be some good news soon.
encouragement . support . comfort
that's y i chose to "forget about it". i don'twant to be bothered.

no comments.
i don't know how to handle this.
perhaps having an open mind would be a good start.

How to Be a Good Guest - Vol. 1
Difficulty: Easy
Staying with friends or family and don’t know what to bring as a thank you gift? Invited to tons of parties and think bringing a bottle of wine is your passport to enter? Being a good guest is more than knowing what kind of gift to bring, it’s about making the experience better because you’re there. Here are some tips for making that happen.
Instructions
STEP 1:
Sleeping over? Leave the Britney CD at home
Don’t yell “is anyone up” when you go for coffee at 6:00 AM.
Blend in to your host’s routine and don’t be afraid to venture off on your own to give them a break from “hosting”.
Show your appreciation with a note and a gift.
STEP 2: Be Happy. Leave the details of your money problems and relationship details at the door, everyone has problems but parties are a place to forget them for a while.
STEP 3: Learn how to mingle. Minglephobic? Grab a plate of hors d’eouvres and start passing them around. It’ll help the host and give you an excuse to chat other guests up. Or, usher another guest around the party to introduce them to the crowd.
STEP 4: Flirt. People love the excitement flirting gives off. It makes you feel like your life could change in one evening. That’s what’s great about a party; you never know what could happen.
STEP 5: Participate in the activities at the party. They are meant as excuses to interact with other guests, perfect for meeting Mr. Where have you been all my life.
STEP 6: Bring a guest. Parties are places for people to meet other people. If you aren’t comfortable going alone, and the invitation gives you the okay, bring a friend. But be careful not to cling to them the entire night.
STEP 7: Play a game. If you really want to have some fun at a party play a mingle game.
Make a plan to meet at least two or three new people by the end of the night.
Try and guess what everyone at the party does for a living. Ask questions like "Do you travel?" "Is it creative?"
Overall Tips & Warnings
If you’re chicken to go to a party, have a designated driver and loosen up with a cocktail before you go to the party.
Have a few jokes and topics of conversation in your back pocket. Read the newspaper that morning for material like the late night talk show hosts do.
Things You'll Need
Open mind
Confidence
A smile
Topics Addressed
Party etiquette
Attending a party
Being a guest
Entertaining etiquette
More
Chat with the Other Guests
Do your part to be friendly and make conversation with other guests. You're part of the chemistry that will make the party a success.
Being a good guest isn't a passive affair. It means actively participating in making the party or gathering a success. There are certain people I like to invite to anything I give because I know they'll show up and leave on time, they'll be able to talk to anyone, and they'll help me with little things that keep the party flowing and going. They just make a positive contribution!
i invited a guest knowing that that person will be able to hold himself/herself well at social gatherings. for a chance to get to know more people and network plus getting to know my friends and colleagues, and in turn, getting to know me more with different social circles. if that's not a good enough reason... i don't know what is. it doesn't last all day, just for that few hours. everyone's got a story to share and i believe the people we meet is for a reason.

I Could Not Ask for More
Edwin McCain
Lying here with you
Listening to the rain
Smiling just to see
The smile upon your face
These are the moments
I thank God that I'm alive
These are the moments
I'll remember all my life
I found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more.
Looking in your eyes
Seeing all I need
Everything you are
Is everything to me
These are the moments
I know heaven must exist
These are the moments
I know all I need is this
I have all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more.
These are the moments,
I thank God that I'm alive,
These are the moments,
I'll remember all my life,
I've got all I've waited for,
And I could not ask for more. . .
I could not ask for more than this time together,
I could not ask for more than this time with you,
Every prayer has been answered,
Every dream I have's come true,
And right here in this moment,
Is right where I'm meant to be,
Here with you, here with me. . .
I could not ask for more than the love you give me,
Cause it's all I've waited for . . .
And I could not ask for more,
I could not ask for more.
the epitome of true love... *sigh* <3

i was travelling on the bus last friday and this poster ad at one of the stops caught my eye... so i squinted through the glass window to get a glimpse of the tiny text at the corner of it.
so i popped by their website yesterday and it was an eye opener indeed... my brother gamely went down to the concert and bazaar with me that they were having at clarke quay. nadya hutagalong shared a personal story stressing the tag not a minute more. not a minute more to violence/abuse... be it physical, psychological or emotional. the moment it happens, once, we should walk away. my heart goes to their cause because its inline with what i believe.
well, i was glad my brother is open to things like this and i hope he took something back with him.

SQUIRT
by Linsey Pollak (Australia)
Action - reaction. Interaction - ribbit ribbit! And in surround sound no less. A sure hit with the young and the young at heart, Squirt is an interactive and performance installation that uses water squirted from bottles to trigger the sounds of Australian frogs. It certainly creates more fun as the performance & workshop will be conducted at the greenery patch.
Visitors will be able to play with the bottles to squirt water at 12 two-dimensional, 1m x 1m, fluoro-acrylic frogs. The frogs are touch-sensitive and when triggered by the squirted water, will produce a soundscape of Australian frogs’ calls. Play with this special frog chorus to your heart’s delight! Also, watch out for a short 10-minute musical performance by two performers at intervals of 20 minutes.

we all need a buddy to crap with, talk silly nonsense and laugh crazy.... i left my brains at the office and got my fix. haha`
thanks mr tan for those advises.
why are you afraid?
you fear because you know that its going to happen... its that fear that will drive you closer to it.
yes its true, but how long would it last? when its suppose to last forever.
He says:

micheal
listening to micheal bolten and micheal learns to rock reminds me of our road tripping days... from johor, malacca, kuala lumpur, genting highlands, cameron highlands, penang and back. i remember ever so fondly flipping the casette over a few times while we drove on and on.
i miss those times.
i'm afraid of becoming like them. of what's become of them and what's become between them.

dinner: chix wings, cheese bites and a lime margharita
harry's just opened at the ground floor of my office building! quite refreshing i must say... this area seems to be moving upmarket. rouge bar & bistro next door will be opening its doors soon too. i wonder if the novelty is here to stay...
anyways, my 6 other colleagues and i decided to grace their first day with plenty jokes and laughter!
my hair now smells of smoke.
oh, just got a msg fr an old friend that she'll be heading to germany soon for a good 3 weeks. lucky girl`

everyone's back!
guess i missed a pretty good outing. including catching up with my aunts, uncles, cousins and their boyfriend/fiance. one of my cousin's boyfriend is really funny... met him at their family wedding recently where he had to specially buy a pink shirt (his first pink!) just because my cousin wanted her boyfriend to coordinate with her baju... lol` plus all his other antics and stories. i dig men who can make me laugh... just this morning i couldn't help but be tickled by rod, he's cute.
ok apparently i can't upgrade to beta :-(
thanks hanz for trying to help me figure tt out... *squints*
and i think i figured out how to publish... by quick randon clicks on a few buttons. its silly i know, but heck. as long as my posts are PUBLISHED!
and i think i figured out how to publish... by quick randon clicks on a few buttons. its silly i know, but heck. as long as my posts are PUBLISHED!
publish!
now you can, now u can't. *frowns*
oh gosh, its one of those rare moments again... when i feel a little low. when was the last time i felt this way? perhaps its a holiday too long. am glad tt i'm back to work tomorrow.
am home alone, actually not quite... my 5 cuties are soundly asleep. one on the carpet, on the table next to my laptop, next to the tv, in the kitchen and on my bed. dusty's finally stopped trying to bite on the wire of my mouse.

its raining.
i just finished watching miss vasantham live... the winner's crowned! i liked looking forward to the compliments and criticism and that the judges pull.
a documentary's on now... about the effects of stress/anxiety on an unborn child/offspring. watched another documentary yesterday, Could Fish Make My Child Smarter?... its basically about the effects of omega 3 fish oils. it took 5 yrs to crystallise a correlation between country's average fish consumption and its rate of depression. their experiments/findings are really interesting, science is amazing. well, i've always loved science. the next documentary upcoming next week is about the battle of the bulge: Diets Wars. does eating fat makes us thin? is low-fat ice cream fattening? the truth is, it contains just as much sugar as the regular ice cream. *grins*
to make matters worse, av reminded me that i had forgotten his birthday - yesterday. i'm feeling really bad about it...
i'm waiting for a reply.
2 intentions. one's pretty much achieved, the other's more or less... altho i feel that i could have done more. well, at least i've thought about it - what's next.
i'm already thinking of 2007's diary. perhaps i should get them from my agents...
the blog can't seem to publish, been a few days now. hope the problem gets resolved soon. that reminds me, han's invited me to write a short story for his book. i haven't had any inspiration lately. i wonder how my 'flair' for 'real' writing will fair... now, when's the deadline he mentioned?
dear's invited me to gmail! now i have my own gmail account... apparently norshidahsimon is taken?!
elfi's conveniently cuddled up between my feet now. she loves cozying up to warm bodies...
han's suggests tt i upgrade to beta blogger! hopefully it solves the problem!
...in the end they all want a woman with soul. A woman who isn't perfect (because God knows we're not) but radiates beauty and commands a presence. When a woman exudes confidence in her body, it reflects an inner spirit that outshines heavy makeup, designer rags and bling. And that, i daresay, is really sexy.

An unexpected conversation with a current or potential romantic partner could end with both of you revealing a lot of your deepest feelings, dear Libra. This discussion may only indirectly concern the status of your relationship, but you will learn a lot about each other that might cause you to consider seriously whether or not you want to continue with the relationship. All signs imply, however, that the relationship might change slightly, but it will continue.
that was sunday's horo.
omg, my new 26-something yr old colleague just asked me wats the difference between potrait and landscape... am teaching her how to print on letterheads and tt she needs to remove the documents' header and footer so that the letterhead won't be printed on the letterhead paper. i know i'm bitching here, and she's sitting at the next desk right beside me as i'm typing.
i'm thinking thinking... call it reflecting. all the things that's gone by... the words, actions, faces, expressions, places and me.

sailing
It's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
It's not far to never never land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me
Sailing
Takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
Fantasy
It gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie
Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me
It's not far back to sanity
At least it's not for me
And when the wind is right you can sail away
And find serenity
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me

This is a very unlikely match that has not much chance of lasting past the first date. You may be drawn to that boy's physical charms, but you will hate his stick-in-the-mud personality. Anything fun you can think of to do, he can think of five reasons why you shouldn't do it. It's like having a third parent to deal with! You love to goof off and have a great time, while he wants to do homework and work on his pet projects, like building his own computer from scratch. He won't approve of your spending sprees or your less-than-serious approach to life. You'll find him dull, dull, dull. This relationship won't last long. A poor match.
This girl loves that boy's attraction to quality. Not just the girl he's with (you) but his love of the finer things in life. The only not so great thing? This girl love to socialize, and sometimes that boy will see your pursuits as a waste of time and money.

i just checked my phone bill and its at an all time low of forty dollars and thirty cents! kinda surprised with myself cos usually my bills would come up to about eighty or so.
had two old friends popping by last nite. kabir came all the way by cab from tampines and back... we were talking on the phone and i wasn't expecting that he'd really make his way down! been a couple of years since we saw each other and i thought he'd lost some weight. he's been checking up on me every fasting month since. then ash came to pick me up for supper... it was totally impromptu and we had so many things to talk about! that poor guy had 3 stitches near his eyebrow from an injury at his rugby practice but am glad that its not as bad as it could have been.
two but with one thing in common...
anyway, did lunch at the new vivo city with my colleagues. if there's one word i'd use to describe the mall - fluid. can't wait to catch a movie at the new theatres! i wish i weren't working... haha` now i feel so sleepy.
greengoblin's gonna get back his pink ic tomorrow! mmm, does that mean i can't call him that anymore? mmm... no more calling him sgt too` he still is isn't he? haha` who cares, i'll call him whatever I fancy! *grins*
i could tell you that you are and that its real and true... but it wouldn't make a difference if you don't have that believe in you.

Books and movies may inspire you to get involved in artistic activities. Your aesthetic sense is very high today, dear Libra, and you may be drawing your inspiration from the higher realms. You might want to stroll through an art gallery or museum and try to sense the feelings of those from the past. A warm and loving letter or phone call could come from a romantic partner, elevating your mood even higher. A very emotionally gratifying day.

the 22nd french film festival is going on right now... and coincidentally i got a msg recently abt a french film that i'd caught some time back. apparently, he's as intrigued abt the movie as i was. talking abt movies, we caught little miss sunshine that day and we enjoyed it lots!
3 days to the birthday

am having a headache already, staring at the screen.
come october, things are going to be slightly different...
Wednesday, September 27, 2006
We begun talking about what we really want,
or we might need but have missed,
how to survive without imploding,
how to grow and love and be assured you aren't alone,
how we loved and lost,
and all of our thoughts and the inbetweens.
Then he said to me,
"I think we have idealized relationships beyond what they are capable of."
I agreed and said,
"Is that why I keep disappointing them? My pragmatisim is mistaken for cynicism."
Today, I told a girlfriend that people will never be who you want them to be.
Have we also idealized human nature?
You know it's true what people say,
Let your lovers be.
Most importantly,
Let yourself be.
You really shouldn't be afraid to just be.

its exactly a month to my birthday. just the thought of it makes me quesy... i feel like throwing up. don't ask me why`
"norsh, u have 2 weeks to do it u know... fasting month is near." i told him i needed a break. thanks for that reminder... suddenly i feel this sense of urgency. an urgency to do what? i'm not sure. 2 weeks is gonna pass just like tt...
my birthday's right smack in the middle of the fasting month. i forgot to factor the fasting month into my plans so i guess a few things won't be happening. no, not birthday plans - i've yet to have one... but plans supposedly within that mth.

Little child dry your crying eyes
How can I explain the fear you feel inside
Cause you were born into this evil world
Where man is killing man and no one knows just why
What have we become just look what we have done
All that we destroyed you must build again
When the children cry let them know we tried
Cause when the children sing then the new world begins
Little child you must show the way
To a better day for all the young
Cause you were born for all the world to see
That we all can live with love and peace
No more presidents and all the wars will end
One united world under God
What have we become just look what we have done
All that we destroyed you must build again
No more presidents and all the wars will end
One united world under God
When the children cry let them know we tried
When the children fight let them know it ain't right
When the children pray let them know the way
Cause when the children sing then the new world begins

All About YOU: It's Okay to Cry
Don't hold back the tears. According to doctors, a good cry now and then may do your body good.
Just as sweat removes salt, urine removes waste, and mucus traps bacteria, tears also serve a purpose. Emotional tears -- shed in moments of intense feeling -- carry stress hormones and are a way of getting rid of them. Even if crying embarrasses you, it signals that you've reached a level of stress that's detrimental to your health. So let it out.
Taking care of your emotional health and well-being can make you up to 16 years younger.

Even if crying embarrasses you, it signals that you've reached a level of stress that's detrimental to your health. So let it out.
Taking care of your emotional health and well-being can make you up to 16 years younger.
Your body makes several kinds of tears:
Basal tears are produced continuously to keep your eyes lubricated; that layer of moisture also helps prevent damage from air currents and bits of floating debris.
Irritant tears are produced when the eyes are hit by flying sand, grit, insects, etc.
Emotional tears are released in moments of intense feeling -- sometimes joy, but more often sorrow.
Unlike basal or irritant tears, which are protective, emotional tears are hormonal and chemically different. One major hormone that increases with stress is also associated with crying: prolactin. Levels of prolactin in the body correlate positively with frequency of emotional crying.

just finished chowing on my burger. finishing up my cheese fries... there's still whipped potato and coleslaw to go. haha, sounds like revenge? well i haven't been eating well the past couple of days and dinner was only a mango pudding which i had with the girls last nite! even missing the tuesday waffles... that's so unlike me. they know i can eat a lot!
anyway, i haven't had much of an appetite coz of an unlcer in my mouth... plus that pain on my left cheek/jaw that's been bugging me the last week. it got to me so much last night that i even dreamt of frantically searching for a dental clinic in my dream. ok that sounded more like a nightmare ain't it?
called my dentist this morning and he couldn't fit an appt because he wasn't feeling too well today. dr joel tan's clinic is just a short walk fr my place...its white on whites dental surgeon - not exactly a typical clinic. i was pretty desperate, so i asked to be referred to his buddy at their other branch at stamford road. i manage to catch this morning's oprah before my appt. that's a rarity.
while waiting for my turn at the clinic...something or rather, someone kept me entertained. you know how i can get real bored at times and waiting is not exactly my favourite past time (thanks leng!). i was early for my 1130 appt and there were no patients when i got there until a boy and his mom came in looking so colour coordinated. they had an earlier appt booked. it seems like they haven't gotten over the national day mood (her spectacle frames are red too!)... lol` so while the boy was having his teeth done, his mom was talkin on the phone abt engaging her current maid to another employer (the caller). ok i wasn't eavesdropping, there was no one else in the clinic and she was talkin pretty loud. there was one point where i wanted to burst out laughing coz she conveniently named herself lucy (how fancy! lol) on the spot to suit the caller who is american. then she went on explaining...
"Yes, i'm Chinese... But you know, Americans use christianised names...so you can just call me Lucy. My husband's English! We've (her family) been living all over the world. My son was born in Hong Kong. We've moved 16 times! How does that sound!"

apparently she is moving (yet again! haha) and wants to put her maid in another home.
why can't she just introduce herself by her real name which is chinese? and... from her conversation and tone, she made it seem that by having an English husband makes you a class higher. bleah`
all that blah blah talk went on while i was sitting right opposite her, flipping magazines and sipping my peach tea.
after she hung up on that call, she made another call... while she was just getting into the conversation, the line got cut or something. then she looked up to me and laughed... i returned with a half smile.
i think she looks weird... what's with her frizzy blonde hairdo? looks like she got power charged at the salon.... and i notice that she keeps twitching her eyes and there's something about her eyebrows. up, down, up, down... lol`
so much for that observation.... people and their lives. ok, norsh has got nothing to do...dats y` haha
i like the shots tho! which they gladly posed for... haha, kidding`
my language is currently limited to "mmm..." and more "mmm..."s. intonation is impt. haha`

been so busy at work that i'm almost pulling my hair out.
now am having a headache. i think its because of the tuna sandwich i had for lunch, maybe i'm allergic to it. lol`
the blisters at my heel is hurting real bad and the wheel of my chair keeps hitting it. ouch` thanks to those lovely vnc shoes i just bought. just 2 days and its become my greatest enemy. guess its not that lovely after all... it looks pretty but wait till you have a taste of it... its poison.
hmm, wat else...
oh yah... my mom pointed out this lump on fetty's chest a few days ago. it looked like excess fat that perhaps couldn't go anywhere else (tummy, cheeks...) so it decided to congregate at a new spot - his chest. so last night i came home and found out that my brother had taken him to the vet that morning... the vet's given him a brazilian on his chest. how groovy` my male colleagues had been pointing out that hairless is the way to go (for men)... yea, austin powers is so passe. anyway, the lump's gone. apparently its an infection and they've drained the pus n blood. will post his pics up!
ok, i just told my colleague abt fetty and he conveniently summarised it: my pussy had a brazilian.
how i 'love' the jokes to lighten up a hectic day at the office! haha`

Saturday, August 12, 2006
ok what's happened from the 8th?
well... ridz, my boyfriend n i caught the fireworks on that night. it was pretty cool` and then we chilled out the night.
i was among one of the many at the national stadium on the 9th... its my first time being at the parade and last (for everyone too). it was pretty awesome i must say - the experience. altho its pretty much the same thing year in and year out... i'm glad i had the chance, even if it's just once. once is enough actually` went with ridz, his girlfriend, his girlfriend's parents plus a german tourist that we got to know the night before. then we did supper at lau pa sat (plus boyfriend, minus the parents).
my boyfriend n i caught the fireworks again last night! so much for wanting to get closer, closer! lol` the view was pretty spectacular. didn't capture any pictures tho coz i wanted to enjoy every single sec of it!
i got to be going now... am attending a church wedding of my dear colleague's daughter at chuch of st bernadette and then later dinner at m hotel.
have a fantastic weekend everyone`
i'm wondering wat i want to do tomorrow...
well... ridz, my boyfriend n i caught the fireworks on that night. it was pretty cool` and then we chilled out the night.
i was among one of the many at the national stadium on the 9th... its my first time being at the parade and last (for everyone too). it was pretty awesome i must say - the experience. altho its pretty much the same thing year in and year out... i'm glad i had the chance, even if it's just once. once is enough actually` went with ridz, his girlfriend, his girlfriend's parents plus a german tourist that we got to know the night before. then we did supper at lau pa sat (plus boyfriend, minus the parents).
my boyfriend n i caught the fireworks again last night! so much for wanting to get closer, closer! lol` the view was pretty spectacular. didn't capture any pictures tho coz i wanted to enjoy every single sec of it!
i got to be going now... am attending a church wedding of my dear colleague's daughter at chuch of st bernadette and then later dinner at m hotel.
have a fantastic weekend everyone`

fell asleep while he was talkin to me abt trust. it was 2 in the morning. felt really bad abt that... apparently he told me that he'd been talkin for quite some time before he realised that i've actually 'switched off'... sorry sofri`
i so miss talkin to you that i forgot how fun n witty our conversations usually are.
date with the babes was funtastic! we met after their ktv session and had dinner right till supper time at the new newton food centre. yummy food, yummy girls, yummy talk`
we're planning to catch the world cup finals together!
we've been having it great so far, its like no other. well, except for one thing that's been brought up over n over again. we are both different and very stubborn... that's why the issue hasn't been worked out. well, if you're lookin at the bigger picture... i feel that its simply because we're on different pages. i'm still in chapter one, you're way ahead. you asked y? because i choose so (to be at chapter one), i'm not ready for the next yet.
its so funny to look back at how it all started! haha` fiZo

him: i want to take a photo of you.
me: no, i don't like ppl takin photos of me!
him: but its me.
ouch` i felt tt.
i got up this morning, checked my phone and thought that my boyfriend hadn't called me last night because he probably didn't want to disturb my sleep. i had asked him to gimme a ring when he gets home.
we msged each other n i insisted he didn't call... until i checked my call register.
apparently, he called twice n i took both calls. freaky isn't it, i really cannot remember! gosh` the first call, he told me i was silent so he called another time. this time, i was mumbling god-knows-what... he couldn't make out much of it. he said he ended the call by saying he loves me and i said bye.
how can i not remember flippin my phone... yes mine's a flip phone, no way would i have accidentally pressed any button, not to mention the green button and MUMBLING! hmmm... i couldn't have left my brains at home, i was home. maybe at the playground or the mall? LOL`
on a brighter note!
my boyfriend did a really pretty n colourful illustration with my silhouette... there's even a secret message at the back! the black frame is now hanging on the inside of my wardrobe door.
was surprised by a long email he wrote me the morning. he writes pretty well i must say... and i'm not only refering to just this one.
1. message in chocolate
2. 15km skate certificate
3. illustration
4. ?
Coz i bang into a glass pane? Haha. No la dear... I work so hard and do my job well... the only time i cn take a break n just be relaxed N slow down is when im with you..i want to be easy n chill. gues ure nt ok with that? :)
Lol. No la, its not coz of bangin into d glass pane altho dat was funny. :P its ok to take it easy.. Dats wat i would like it to be but at least you should know wat we're doin...
after the funny incident yesterday, i kid by askin...
me: i think you left something at home.
him: huh, wat?
me: your brains. *grinz*
i was contemplating whether to even blog wat i just did... because my boyfriend reads this. i haven't quite told him how i feel (actually its not so much of feel, more of think. i'm more of a brain over heart person), altho i think he would more or less know from my behaviour.
i've lots of comments...
ok, i change my mind.

sale
went to the zara sale after work yesterday and got myself a dress! its white, modern, edgy and sexy but my mom disapproves of it. lol` her eyes almost popped when i tried it on at home.
tried a few items and all of them fit me so well! was so tempted to get them all but some were just not worth the money. i actually walked out the store empty handed, sat outside to contemplate a while n went back in to get tt white t-shirt dress. lol`
it didn't seem that bad after all, perhaps coz it was a weekday. the racks were in a mess but other than tt, there were no shoving n pushing, the fitting room queues were long but quite a breeze, so were the cashiers. actually i saw most ppl walkin out kinda empty handed or with one or two purchases.
i like the dress! am a very happy girl`

What Your Soul Really Looks Like
You are very passionate and quite temperamental. While you can be moody, you always crave comfort.
You are a grounded person, but you also leave room for imagination and dreams. You feet may be on the ground, but you're head is in the clouds.
You believe that people see you as larger than life and important. While this is true, they also think you're a bit full of yourself.
Your near future is calm, relaxing, and pretty much what you want. And it's something you've been anticipating for a while now.
For you, falling in love is all about the adventure and uncertainty. You can only fall in love with someone who keeps you guessing.

i've been following sara's blog and hinn's blog since i chanced upon hers while blog-hopping some time back.
what got me coming back for updates on their lives is because of the amazing relationship that they share. they're really such a sweet couple and i've never come across a relationship like theirs, they make me wonder why i'm so skeptical about relationships.
ok, some background info... they've been together for 5 years now and have been studying in canada. they've been living together and now that sara's done with her studies, she will be back to sg in few days time... making it a 7 mth separation till he's done and they've never been a day apart!
We don't have much time
I just want to hug you and never let go.
Lock your hands to mine, keep you by my side forever.
Limited time quickly diminishes, and my heart grows increasingly sullen
Many "what ifs" come to my mind, too horrible to imagine
I am, however, aware that this whining simply spurns more negativity
Sara, I have come to realise that you are not really leaving me.
Sealing ourselves in a room all day doesn't mean we love each other.
Your flesh and bones might be whisked off to a far and distant land
Out of my reach, and beyond my flailing hands
Ultimately our hearts will remain together, united, one, forever.
My pathetic attempt at poetry. I dread everyday that passes. I will miss your laughter, I will miss your noisiness. Heck, I will even miss our arguments. No matter how far we travel from each other we will always have one another in our hearts, in our soul.
Be Strong. Love you.
that was real mushy huh, but their relationship is a lot more than that...
well, they feed the skeptic in me... and i so envy them.
work in London?!
dr dan's goin back to london. he mentioned that if i wanted anything from london, just drop him a ring/fax/email... lol` i requested him to pack me in his suitcase and take me to london. he's always bringing me chocs n stuff, the last time he got me a pashmina shawl plus more chocs.
so he offered if i wanted to work in london... in his organisation. he's a gynae and runs his own healthcare practice. i'd love to go to london!
oh have i mentioned, dr dan's my boss' big brother and right now my boss' younger brother, the coo of the group, is talkin me into doing another 3 months after i take a holiday.
when i started, i found it so weird to call someone my boss. i've no idea y. like, no one's my boss! lol` manager or supervisor would be more appropriate but being in my position, i can't call him tt. its just not appropriate coz he is after all the boss of the company! not a supervisor or manager...
i went down to bugis today to get my cheesecake. yes more cheesecake. actually this is the one i've been craving... the rest just didnt do it for me. i've had like 7 sticks of it (dats equivalent to about 2 slices) and now my stomach's feeling funny...
ok its almost 730 and i'm still in the office...

saya suka lelaki yang memerangsangkan otak saya.
had a little chat with mrs tan on monday about how our intern was doing... oh, mrs tan is our intern's liaison officer and my ex-lecturer/tutor back at tp. well, i didn't have good feedback on my current intern as much as the previous one we had... what made it worse was that she was really late and mrs tan and i had to sit out at a nearby cafe. i guess she wasn't expecting me to pop by at such an hour. when the cat's away, the mouse goes out and play? haha` i was expecting her to trot in by the time we were done but she was over an hr and a half late, not even a msg to inform me.
there was one occasion where i was about to have a meeting with people from mister singapore only to find her crying behind the counter with her boyfriend trying to console her... erm, i don't think there are evil spirits at my plc! haha, ok leng will get the joke. apparently it was over her fyp grouping, or rather lack of... at least that was what she told me. personally, i don't think that is a cause for crying out loud so gave her a little advise.

i knew we were gonna face some problems when i chatted with my intern the first day she joined us because she was very negative. she wasn't happy abt where she was posted to and that our line was not in sync with her personal views. what would you think when your junior comes up tells you that she didn't like being there even before she started and requesting for provisions for certain days off on the first day of work? ok.. as a consolation, she was honest about her views. maybe a little too honest... honesty's good but how about some thought for appropriateness.
well, mrs tan popped by again the same afternoon to have a chat with her on how she could improve from my feedback... i wasn't ard then. she did give me feedback fr our intern during their saturday sharing session in school. i found it funny that she found zh unprofessional because he didn't introduce himself properly to her when he came by... i'm not quite surprised at that comment. mrs tan told me not to tell zh abt it... ssshhhh! lol`

yesterday, i went to get the attendance and timesheet so that i can get her pay ready...somehow she was a little shocked by my presence coz she gave me a weird stare. yes, i don't normally drop by at 5...
"she did tell me that she feels very lonely and cut out from everything else. also, there were not many customers coming in. so i told her to keep herself occupied by reading and doing her own work. i told her that she should feel lucky that her supervisor is not breathing down her neck or sitting close by watching her every move... so her overall rating is about a 3 (out of 5)?... i suppose she's not mature enough in that aspect."
looks like she needs more supervision.

Your True Love Is a...
i was cringing just when i was abt to hit the submit button. but... guess wat! lol` not fun la... haha`
Capricorn!
Why you'll love a Capricorn:
Hard working and driven, a Capricorn will work overtime to win your heart. Be prepared to get wined and dined, even once you're convince that your Capricorn is the one!
Why a Capricorn will love you:
You don't rush things. You know it will take a while for a Capricorn to trust you, and you can wait. Social and outgoing, you can introduce normally shy Capricorn to a great circle of friends.

my boyfriend's really proud that i did 15km skating the runway with about 6000 others... for someone who has skated barely 20 times in just a few mths. it was fun and amazing to skate at a wide open space under the blue skies. took me 2 hours to complete, which is actually pretty slow and i had to be pulled the last 3km stretch. lol` he did 30km in less that time! nevertheless, i completed it with my brudda by my side. haha` he could have gone ahead but chose to stick with my pace. it was after all a leisure route!
some parts of the route was tortourous and a real pain coz the ground wasn't even... and i fell once! just once... bounced on my left bum. lol` there was a soldier with his rifle standing along the route who saw that and gave me a blank look. haha` it doesn't hurt tho... used to it la`
those 3 little blonde darlings are so cute! their dad was getting them to sing old mcdonald's as they were reaching the finish line... real adorable`

i didn't realise i was that tired last night that i missed my stop and ended at the interchange. the last passenger woke me up. it was so dark n i was so blur... took me a while to figure out where i was in my state of stupor. luckily i turned to check coz my phone and card was on the seat. st michael's interchange can be kinda freaky that i wished i could fly home... altho it was just about a 5-min walk away.
this is the second time, as far as i can remember, that i was totally knocked out while on the bus. the other time was after last nye's mini merry making session with my colleagues. i found myself at thomson... when i was suppose to alight at orchard. lol` blame it on the reds and whites.

i miss my friends. i feel i haven't been connecting enough.
day in, day out... work's occupying a lot of my time. by the time i get back home each evening, i've only time to catch my breath, have a good dinner, talk with mom/brudda, watch a bit of tv or get on the computer and finally a few mins of quiet in my room if i don't already fall asleep by then. make that (almost) 5 days a week... ok, abt twice a week.

oh` my brudda's asked me to night skating on saturday. lol` mmm... don tink dats a good idea coz i wouldn't wanna be a skating zombie the next morning. we'll be at the national runway skating at paya lebar this sunday morning and then popping by the mph book sale at the expo. anyone else wanna join us? just drop me a tinkle!

You Have a Choleric Temperament
You are a person of great enthusiasm - easily excited by many things. Unsatisfied by the ordinary, you are reaching for an epic, extraordinary life. You want the best. The best life. The best love. The best reputation.
You posses a sharp and keen intellect. Your mind is your primary weapon. Strong willed, nothing can keep you down. Your energy can break down any wall. You're an instantly passionate person - and this passion gives you an intoxicating power over others.
At your worst, you are a narcissist. Full of yourself and even proud of your faults. Stubborn and opinionated, you know what you think is right. End of discussion. A bit of a misanthrope, you often see others as weak, ignorant, and inferior.
i read this somewhere some time back and saved it in draft... its funny`

What is your biggest achievement?
To be a husband.
To be a husband.
How do you recharge?
Play football, do yoga. There's nothing in your head but the ball. It is a phenomenal workout. You're just brain dead for a while.
What inspires you?
Honesty. Real people. Selflessness. Doing things without a motive.
Which living person do you admire most and would like to invite for dinner?
People around the corner. The woman next door. The single mother next door raising her kids on her own. Those at the bottom of the pile. They are the real heroes with real courage. They are bold and brass about adversity.
- Ian Wright
i love his interview... witty and inspiring. how often do you get a man saying that being a husband is his greatest achievement these days and what a refreshingly honest and down to earth answer to a typical beauty pagent question, instead of the stale iconic people like the president of the united states or nelson mendela. bleah`

how does it feel to have you etched in someone's happiest moments?
sweet.
am touched and honoured.
---
its fun to reminisce.
happiest
realising that you might have just found the one
worst
crying in the streets while trying to get myself together
being in a cast
unforgettable
first kiss
sweetest
being serenaded with you're beautiful and a song made just for me
weirdest
watching that play @ 72-13
embarassing
breaking my slippers on more than one occasion
i'm not exactly best person to talk abt memories. i suffer from memory lapse. lol` but when u start to really think about it, there'd be just too many happy moments to make one your happiest.
having a blog is not a platform for a public revelation of my life but just a tiny space for me to write of and look back at the little special moments...

snapshots of the weekend...
yi ge si kuai
liang ge qi kuai
when was the last time i got down to pitch a tent?! it was fun doing it together!
to sum up the weekend...
dorothy perkins
sentosa
cloudy, drizzle
white and deep red tank
tent pitching
swimming (soaking)
beach fun
bright full moon
cruise liner spotting
supper
kfc lunch
sale crashing
application unsuccessful
loony talkin-to-himself-loudly bus commuter
Mc's breakfast
training marathon team
fort road
suntec city
toys 'r' us
lego red racer
carrefour
carnations
fountain of wealth
rat
11 plus the dog
3 deep red long stemmed roses
past, present, future
rex restaurant
and it ended with a little 'quarrel'...
Cause when I need two arms that can hold me tight
A tender loving kiss that can make it right
Someone to chase the darkness into the light
I know its true
Baby, there's none better than you

had a weird dream last nite... vivid, but its slowly fading away` what's it about? well, a close friend of mine made a confession. i can't remember much of the details now but its one of those situations where you just can't do much about but feel real lucky.
With You
The real me is a Southern girl
With her Levi's on and an open heart
Wish I could save the world
Like I was Supergirl
The real me used to laugh all night
Lying in the grass, just talking 'bout love
But lately I've been jaded
Life got so complicated
I start thinking about it
Almost forgot what it was like
To know when it feels right
But with you
I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a T-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful
Baby, as I do now
Now that I'm with you
You speak and it's like a song
And just like that, all my walls come down
It's like a private joke
Just meant for us to know
I relate to you naturally
Everybody else just fades away
Sometimes it's hard to breathe
Just knowing you found me
'Cause I start thinking about it
I almost forgot what it was like
To know when love feels right
'Cause with you
I can let my hair down
I can say anything crazy
I know you'll catch me right before I hit the ground
With nothing but a T-shirt on
I never felt so beautiful
Baby, as I do now
Now that I'm with you
Come and take me
Love you, save me
Like nobody else
Now I can be myself with you

ok its time for updates! my last proper entry was 7 days ago...
last friday evening... caught up with the babes over dinner at ramenten and then went to east coast for dessert impromtu together with sofri. altho he's had a bad day, i heard its thumbs up from both sides! i'm happy... na's pretty much decided what to do - by not doing anything. haha` she's going with what she thinks and feels, and standing her ground... not swayed by the different point of views all around, altho we pretty much think along the same lines. go with ur gut feeling girl`
"the fact we think independently, have strong opinions, value our freedom, and are liberal."

"the fact we think independently, have strong opinions, value our freedom, and are liberal."
- herintrospections
we had a small falling out after the talk that night. but its all resolved now... sorry leng, didn't see ur msg until the next afternoon. my cam can store about 200+ pics? i think` lol. you'd prob figured that out i guess.
went to ikea on saturday afternoon and then to the polling station in the evening. my first vote! haha` your votes can apparently be traced... with the serial numbers going on on the card. your vote is secret? perhaps not. mom was telling me how last time, my grandma was afraid of voting against the government thinkin that they'd know if she hadn't and so i kid from this overly imaginative mind that those who voted against the ruling government will be secretly assasinated... and scenes from v for vendetta started flashing through my mind. lol` so after we voted, mom and i met with my dear aunt at toa payoh for dinner. shopped a bit while i contemplated whether to catch elmo's band at barca... decided to give it a miss tho` again... another time perhaps.
zh come over yesterday and we had a good 2-hr chat! from work to his/my future plans, friends, ns and stuff...
2nd... 3rd... 4th... and now the 8th, i am still hanging on to that letter. i remember just about a month ago, i was pouring my heart out to av during my lunch time. he was patient enough to listen and give me his 2-cents worth altho he was studying for his exams... he's one who would genuinely listen, plus dispense good advice (or knock some sense into me) and i'm blessed to have friend like him. so, i've made it through the month... after talkin with zh last afternoon, i've pretty much decided what i want to do... and its the same as what i've decided months ago.
marche at the heeren is no more... we didn't know that until last night. haha` i was craving for waffles you see` so we went all the way to suntec's at 10+. mango and strawberry waffles! i was a happy girl... my boyfriend taught me 2 self defence techniques. got me all excited! i can't remember their names now. they involve hand twisting, thumb locking, leg locking, collar grabbing, temple punching, balls kicking, etc... i don't think he got much out of it because he kept goin "harder! faster!" and said that i needed more practice. anyone wanna be my practice dummy?

starry skies
i've never seen that many stars in my life before... it seemed almost surreal to be standing beneath the wide open starry skies, with the waves crashing and winds blowing.

listen to your inner-voice
I believe there are no clear-cut answers because love cannot be rationalised. I can only tell my pals - and remind myself.
oh boy` i feel pressured, with everyone talking about it. everytime i move one step further, i'll undoubtedly find myself trying to move 3 steps back. why oh why... one day, i'm afraid i might just pull back altogether, and its not as if i haven't seriously thought about that.
its those fleeting moments again.

i've been lazy to blog... many many things have been going on`
my cousin's married and i hope her second shot at it brings her eternal bliss... they did it! i'm quite a skeptic you see - about love. there was a point where i wondered why people get married... yes, i'd like to think that its a celebration of true love but i'm not sure. i heard the groom say his vows with so much gusto, i was impressed... how true will he stick to his words, only time will tell. vows - those words you say from the bottom of your heart to each other as you look into their eyes to love and cherish, be faithful and true through thick and thin, good and bad, do they really mean anything at all when 1 in 2 marriages end up as a statistic in the divorce records? hhmmm...
wah sing's back on her feet, am really happy. altho i'm not as close with her as compared with leng/na, she should know that she has the support of her friends behind her always... that is really important, knowing that there are those ard you who genuinely cares. the girls are almost done with their exams, can't wait to meet up again!!!
ok, i'm supposed to be in bed now. have to be up real early tmr, we're goin to skate beyond the jetty!

i think i did ok. was a bit nerve wreckin and deciding whether to go or not was the toughest... no, it wasn't the qns and situation. was afraid that i might make a fool of myself but i decided to go because i'd like to know what he's really like. the impression that he has given them about me all this while reflected in the way they've treated me today.

ignorance
sometimes i can be so ignorant. ignorant of the going-ons around me and the feelings of others. pardon me, but we all do need that occasional wake up calls or good tight slaps once in a while. feel free to do so.

the day's quickly coming to an end... tmr's friday. so fast! thinkin of the babes who are mugging for their exams now, hope you guys are doing fine`
work's been breezy busy. oh, my colleague just asked me to foot reflexology at chinatown! i was actually planning to shop for lingerie after work but getting myblistered feet massaged sounds fun. haha` haven't done that before!
time flies when you're having fun! or when you're really busy (at work)...

my boyfriend will be away (and uncontactable) for the next few days... it'll be his last outfield training and if he performs well, he might just get chosen to be the guard-of-honour for his contingent at the national day parade! *imagines S lookin sharp n smart (n sexy!) in his uniform* haha` perhaps then i can get to go to my first ever ndp`
he never fails to ask how i'm doin, how my day went, how's work, have i had my meals... i really appreciate these little things, especially his simple "how are you?". its unlike the ones u hear people shout out to each other or instantaneously say as a conversation starter. he's genuinely concerned and cares for my well being, and is always ready to listen...
last nite, he told me to take care of myself while he's away, eat well, drink more water and stay out of the unpredictable weather.
call me lucky? i say, i deserve it.

"happy juice"
endorphins. i get my dose from skating.
endorphins. i get my dose from skating.

happiness is a state of mind and a choice.
A great relationship lets you vent all your feelings.
Getting things off your chest might feel good, but when you blurt something out in the heat of the moment, you risk damaging your relationship permanently. Many relationships are destroyed when one partner can't forgive something that was said during uncensored venting.
Before you say something you might regret, bite your tongue and give yourself a moment to consider how you really feel. The things we say while we're letting loose often don't represent how we really feel and shouldn't be communicated - especially if they are potentially destructive.
---
yes its time to post again... been a weekend of first-times for me.
the famous simpang bedok
heard so much abt it but never been there... so sofri brought me last friday evening! the food was yummy` and there were tonnes of good stuff... i wanna go there again! thinkin of it is makin my stomach growl now... lol`
mount faber
we ended up here for a while, while trying to get to labrador park. the view up the hill is pretty awesome!
labrador park
somewhere off beaten n quaint. i was really surprised at the suggestion! we had fun`
riverside indo restaurant, the new clarke quay, beautiful fountains and haagen daz
the indo food there is yummy too... plus the wonderful company, fantastic! reminiscing the good old days... close to 10 yrs back! so hilarious` these are pics off na's blog taken with her new sexy canon ixus i.
i love exploring new places!
the weekend did come with the downs as well....
my tantrum throwing nephew
that cute but naughty little imp disgruntled my cousin, aunt and mom while we were browsing at arab street last saturday.
impulse buy
i succumbed and splurged on a pretty, embroidered organza, indonesian-made, i-must-have kebaya top. spent 3 times as much as mom altho having earlier declared that i wanted to spend none. dats my second kebaya of the mth, when typically i'd get one or two A YEAR. i'm not even sure when or where i'm gonna wear that to. lol`
eeewwy pastries and soursop drink
i don need to explain further... everything just didn't seem to taste nice that day.
breakfast toast set at 5 in the afternoon....
the kaya toast + 2 half boiled eggs + tea combo. when norsh is unhappy, she loses her appetite... but sometimes i do seek comfort in food, like the most of us... famous amos cookies, ice cream, dessert, mochas, lattes, pretzels, fish n chips n watever...
the week ended fabulously nonetheless!

You Are 19 Years Old
Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.
13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.
20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.
30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!
40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

sleeping with the enemy
the nightmare i had on sunday's late morning nap is slowly fading into oblivion. thank goodness` it was shots of the things i saw the day before put into a story of a nightmare! which ain't too surprising, i've a super wild imagination. why was it so scary? because what happened in my nightmare could happen... it seemed so real and its probably the worse that could possibly happen to me. no it ain't abt ghosts... the things people are capable of doing is much scarier! don't u think?
the freakiest part was tt in my nightmare, at one pt i was searching for a phone to call someone and then i was awaken by my phone ringing!
it reminded me of the movie sleeping with the enemy. anyway, i told him abt it to which he assured me that it wouldn't happen and to not be silly`

shopped for skinsuits at queensway
checked out the new old cathay
late lunch at rex

Friday, April 07, 2006
thank you, i appreciate it
what a whirlwind week its been. time really flies... before you know it, its another weekend. the next will come even earlier cos friday's a holiday.
this morning, i was thinkin of all the lovely things that i wanna buy... clothes! but i really gotta curb my spending. also, i feel that clothes these days are exorbitantly overpriced! talkin about clothes, i can't wait till my new nonya kebaya is ready! wanted to get one in red but there ain't any, so i settled for classic black... its for my cousin's wedding on the 29th, which is also my dad's birthday.
stripolla's creator took on a video assignment and will be busy today and tomorrow. i'm sure his works will turn out great! i don't like thinkin about it but i'm pretty sure what i'd want when the time comes... so let's not think abt it for the moment. i can't believe its so getting to me! *aarrgghh*
leng's all booked tmr, apparently i was late... her time's all taken up! *hhmmpphh* busy girl` haven't met with cindy for a while... she's another busy girl! and i'm suppose to meet with love one of the days too but i couldn't find the time to the past few days. what's up this weekend? ash might be takin me out for a spin in his newly crashed car` and my alter ego seems pretty confident that a treat is coming his way. hmm...
i'm gonna be so busy on monday. zh just msged to say tt he's leaving soon. he'll be away in taiwan for the next 3 weeks... our intern will be starting her 4-mth stint with us plus i've got to settle my application n then meet with hsi lun for dinner.
if only there were 2 of me...

I met 2 saints today
who offered to take me across the road under their umbrellas.
my mom picked up this tiny black kitten she found nearby my plc last nite. it looked so tiny and pitiful that she felt really bad to leave it, so she brought it home so that the spca can come pick it up later. we couldn't keep it coz we've already 3 cats and my mom's had enough. haha` but still she did ask me if i wanted to keep it as my baby coz they each have their own little 'bestfriends' except for me (well, not anymore). it'd be nice to have one again but...
the right reason
i wouldn't have the time to train it.
the real reason
i wouldn't wanna black cat, dats one thing. the other... when i saw its face, it's huge bulging eyes and tiny body reminded me of yoda! if i were to keep it, dats exactly wat i'd name it. YODA! lol` furthermore, it was my mom's find...
i'm not sure what would have happened to the little kitty now, whether its still at home or not.

Mine, immaculate dream made breath and skin
I've been waiting for you
Signed, with a home tattoo
Happy birthday to you was created for you
Can't ever keep from falling apart
At the seams
Can't I believe you're taking my heart
To pieces
Oh, it'll take a little time
Might take a little crime
To come undone now
We'll try to stay blind
To the hope and fear outside
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind
And blow me in to cry
Who do you need, who do you love
When you come undone
Words, playing me deja vu
Like a radio tune I swear I've heard before
Chill, is it something real
Or the magic I'm feeding off your fingers
Can't ever keep from falling apart
At the seams
Can I believe you're taking my heart
To pieces
Lost, in a snow filled sky, we'll make it alright
To come undone now
fleeting moments
there've been many.
there've been many.
i remember at revision lectures, our lecturers will tell us that certain information are a 'must/need to know' while some are simply 'good to know'. its kinda the same theory... having a friednoby is not a need , but nice to have.
while i was getting used to my new status, i almost went bonkers with all the conflicting thoughts in my head. having being single, happy and very independant all this while, i've always thought i wasn't relationship material... or at least not at this moment. tt attitude and thinkin plus lovin the freedom to do anything, whenever and with whoever i want as i please . i still can... but with a bit of limitations.
well, we decide our own rules and what we're comfortable with. no,
he doesn't have to tell (report to) me where he goes or what he's doing. if he wanna club? club by all means.
he doesn't have to call me every nite or even every other nite.
we don't have to go out all the time.
he doesn't have to spend on me or buy me gifts.
esp now when he's not working. simple things work for me... like just a stalk of flower would be nice, a simple ear stud or perhaps a postcard... ok, i'm not hinting anything here. haha` just simple stuff like that i like. actually, everything else i can get them myself... but an all-expense-paid holiday wouldn't hurt! lol` i'd rather he save the $ to get himself new wheels/bearings for his skates or that digital slr camera.
these things work both ways.
hmm... its goin pretty good so far. at least he's alrite with the way i am. yes?
i think its about time i settle down, be thankful (i've always been) and take comfort in the fact that there's a special someone, and that he truly cares.
"Sergeant la! not Sir!" oops... ok, yes Sergeant! no need to drop 20/30/40 yah? lol` i'm crap.

i completely forgot abt my appt with alan last evening... the one i rescheduled last week. he called just as i was about leaving my office and goin to meet my date for dinner impromtu. so i rushed to meet him briefly and rushed down to orchard after. so glad i finished every bit of the ny fish n chips. yes, i've been finishing my food lately... lots to see at fish n co. and we left feelin all bloated. brought choco ginger biscuits for leng and date bars for mom... hope they are nice. felt too tired to do anything else when i got back but talk on the phone. mmm... i woke up this morning without much clue abt wat we talked abt except for something abt teaching me proper stretching... which i wasn't quite sure was real or was i already dreaming. lol` so sorry dear.
you better do it tonite or it'll be too late, even if it means staying up all night! before its really too late.

22 things that I love about you
adorable, patient, caring, loving, positive, charming, stylish, beautiful, smart, sexy, funny, understanding, slim, squints, smile, fair, healthy, kind, thoughtful, strong, faithful, sweet.
wat a real sweet morning msg... i was surprised` it being the 22nd...
we caught v for vendetta last evening. there were just too many commercials before the show. i almost froze (and fell asleep) in there... didn't exactly have dinner, so we had supper at the skate park before the lights went out. i preferred monday... it was totally impromtu, we had wat i wanted to eat (pizza!) at a restaurant that was reserved just for us (or what seemed like it...haha`) and some time together.
i've blocked my diary for saturday with the babes. almost forgot abt it` as much as i try to make time for everyone and everything, sometimes i forget abt plans i've already made prior.
thinkin about school, work n stuff is scaring me. tell me not to think about it? we all have to.
am feelin so agitated now. any little issue is sure to tick me off` cancelled my appt with alan. DND.

yesterday? am feelin butterflies in my stomach just thinkin abt it`
Saturday, March 18, 2006
the babes have blogged about it... now its my turn, before i have too much for you to read after today. rite?
almost couldn't get out of bed this morning! so comfy snuggling under the sheets` gave my boyfriend a morning call and dragged myself out of bed. i almost fell asleep while closing my eyes under the shower.
yesterday was a long day... n i didn't have enough sleep the night before. but it was a friday nite after all` met up with dearies at marina square then caught eic for good live music. i tink we caught more butts and backs than the boys during the 45-min set. lol` then we chilled the nite at starbucks... bitching away` we each had so much to talk about! not only talk... leng n i were violated! lol` ok na was grossed out doin it. well, it was a lovely evening!
chatted with kyle till almost 3. told him tt i better get some sleep or his brother will be out with a zombie later! haha`
not that you are dumb and blind la... ok maybe a little? lol` we are just not the over sensitive, narrow minded kind. catching a movie or just goin out with a guy friend doesn't mean that something more is or could be goin on. its funny seeing you so frazzled abt him... if you didn't care, you wouldn't be rite? :-P leng's got her checklist and pencil ready! haha`

Friendster Horoscope for March 10, 2006
Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 19)
The Bottom Line
Other people may appear as things they are not -- don't be afraid to call them out.
In Detail
The heavens have gifted us all right now with the ability to help us let our emotions show, without shame, embarrassment or shyness. In your case, since you're also being helped along the road toward a great career by other equally potent allies, you've got a great team on your side. Better plan on using it to its fullest. That means no wasting time on anyone who won't be willing to hear about how you really feel. Let whoever you're with know that they're special -- and how special.
Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22)
The Bottom Line
Others are looking to you for answers today. And finally, you're ready to give them.
In Detail
If you thought you were having fun over the past few days -- especially in the department of romance, your favorite -- well, you ain't seen nothing yet. The heavens are all on your side, giving your natural charm a boost, and turning up the volume on your even-more-natural magnetism. What a great combination! Does this mean you'll once again be missing in action, from your friends' point of view? Well, maybe. But for such a great reason -- it's 'getting to know you' time.
i just talked with dr clifford and he reminded me of the BKK trip, the offer's still there! as much as i wanna go (i'm thinkin of the lovely suite n beautiful sandy beaches off phuket), i'm not quite in the mood to travel. i've decided weeks ago to get the cash instead but... perhaps its worth another reconsideration? ok wat am i talkin...? haha` blame my sign.
wouldn't it be fun to grab someone... anyone! for a spontaneous whirlwind holiday!

i don't have to forgo my heels!
I remember imagining how wonderful it'd be if you're to ask me to be your girlfriend. And when that happens, I'd be the happiest girl! But it was something that I thought wouldn't happen... because I didn't think you'd be able to fit someone in your busy life and that being in a relationship would be the last thing on your mind.
he never fail to surprise me every time.
its about...
respect
trust
honesty
let's have the time of our lives!
do the things we've never done and go places we've never been before.
sunshiny days :) says:
me just think tat u should nt let him go. cos i feel its difficult 2 find someone u like n likes u too...
Dearest Sofri aka Superman/Mr Fantastic or... my greenGoblin? *squints*,
Just a little note for you...
Thank you for all the wonderful moments you've shared with me.
From the very first day we met... You shared your passion for skating with me, even took the time and patience to teach me how to skate. Those were one of the best times I've had, skating along East Coast and even at the carpark with you. It was so much fun and I've enjoyed every single moment of it... that includes the many falls i had and occasional downpours that i bring with me... lol`

You asked me, what about you that makes me happy? You make me feel calm and totally at ease. I've never felt this way with anyone before.
I appreciate your openness, honesty and sincerity. I'm truly inspired by your drive and ambition - one of the most important quality that I look for in a person. Hopefully your dreams will come true and that you'll achieve what you have set out to.
Thank you for the care and concern you showed, especially when I was recovering.
It's been a blessing knowing and having you in my life. And I can't wait to discover more of you!
Love,
Norsh
p/s: there is so much more i could have written, but since words aren't your thing... how about some action? just kiddin, lol`

AWARE
I was at the SIM bus stop today and saw the campaign for wife rape and all I could think was "It's about time."
I know that the age group of people who read this blog are mostly teenagers and young adults and are probably single but it doesn't mean you have to be ignorant about certain things. It could happen to anyone, you or me. Infact, wife rape happens on a more regular basis but it just goes unreported because women (foolishly) think that it is their responsibility to give in to sexual intercourse to their husbands.
The truth is, no we don't have to. Sex is something that happens between 2 consenting parties. If 1 person objects it BUT is forced to have intercourse under whatever circumstances, it IS rape. What is upsetting about wife rape is that victims are usually ignorant that they have the rights to report it as a crime and that even women who report it are brushed off because some authorities think it is the woman's job to constantly please her husband sexually.
What disgusts me even further is how husbands threaten their wives with visits to prostitutes to make their wives give in. How degrading is that for a woman? Can you imagine being violated by someone whom you're supposed to trust and be with for the rest of your life? Isn't that to a certain degree worse than rape? Knowing that you are being hurt by someone you know and you are close to than some random person on the streets?
Wife rape is more real that you think it is. I am sure that if women spoke up for themselves, we can decrease the (reported and unreported) cases of wife rape. By the way, ALOT of women suffer through wife rape silently. For all you know, your mother, aunt or grandmother is suffering from it without even knowing that they are being victimised.
For more information, go to www.aware.org.sg or look out for the wife rape campaigns when you head out next.
i decided to post this onto my blog coz she couldn't have said it better... its an issue that exists (if you don't already know) and that all us women should be aware of. most cases go unreported because women do weigh the conseqences if they did report their husbands - its not an easy thing to do, esp if there are kids... and so they suffer in silence.
men who treat their wives that way is just disgusting and should be shot in the head (or 'down there').

the mosaic festival is here again! last yrs' was pretty good and i really had fun. i remember catching really good local acts at the outdoor stage.
one of the bands tt will be performing this year is Incognito (they do acid jazz and soul funk). 2 hrs ago, i happily said 'ok' to catch them... i'm not totally in the groove with Incognito (while he has almost all their tracks n stuff) but i just want to get into fun of being in a concert! haha` the tickets are sold out actually... but! "due to popular demand, tickets for the roof terrace will be available at the door". that's wat the website says... reading further, "these tickets allow viewing of the performance via live broadcast outside the theatre studio at the roof terrace". *raises one eyebrow* no way am i paying to catch a live screening! defies the reason of me being there... haha`
he would have gotten the 'real' tickets if it hadn't been sold out. the funniest part was tt i knew Incognito was gonna be in town weeks ago and didn't tell him. that got him rolling his eyes at me` how was i suppose to know he's tt into Incognito! haha`
looking at the line up, most of the local gigs are free to watch... unlike the imported ones. the local scene needs to get more support... would you pay to catch our local bands? perhaps, but along side the other international acts... most will not.

anyway... i'm looking forward to spending the evenings catching gigs, esp by our local bands!
oh` am glad that i settled my iBanking facility. now paying the monthly bills is just a few clicks away` and so is diminishing the $ fr my bank acct. lol`
walking madness
my initial plan of a day for errands and chores turned into a walking escapade.
met up with love over tendon and unadon at novena sq after settling some banking matters. i wasn't in the best of moods, so she got me to go to town with her` n it turned out pretty awesome with her company... thanks babe`
first stop, get my first dose of cheering up at orange julius! there's nothing more delightful than indulging in blizzard ice cream on a hot day` while she got haagen daaz's raspberry sorbet blend... which didn't taste as nice as what she wanted! lol`
all the way we walked (and girl talked) from forum to...
orchard towers,
i know where gold dust is now! one of the things i've always wanted to do is catch kumar's show. i hope he doesn't retire anytime soon... haha`
isetan scotts,
checked out pretty evita peroni shades then popped by love's client's fashion boutique. saw real cute baby clothes! and topshop has really pretty bikinis...
far east plaza,
she got those tag bands there. wanted the deep red desire too but they don't sell it on its own... got myself a pair of old school, black plastic frame glasses`
scotts shopping centre,
wanted to get a manicure.... my nails are really horrible lookin and my hands r so dry n rough. hollywood secret's was a bit too pricey. erm, actually it isn't. but love didn't need it and it would have taken 30 mins, so we gave it a miss. took a break over sweet potato n longan soup and red ruby.
wisma atria,
topshop again, and more shades!
lucky plaza,
not much here. toilet break` haha.
paragon,
grabbed a snack at old chang kee. our legs were already quite tired...
the heeren,
finally got the swimsuit tt i've been eyeing on since i-dunno-when` after much contemplating... ass too tight, top might slip n stuff like tt... tried the same design 3 times and decided to get the blue/green one instead of the red/pink which love voted for. ben, the cute (but a little short) sales guy wished me good luck with 'the top' as we left` haha.
centrepoint,
erm, nothing much here... legs aching`
killiney.
finally, we sat down and sipped cool longan and rambutan ice blends with kaya toasts and half bolied eggs. sounds like breakfast? it was almost 6.
so that was wednesday! i'm takin the time to recover, for my arm to regain its strength and just takin time out enjoying myself before i start work again.
i still think that mistaken msg was abt me, as much as he is trying to elude it. perhaps that horrible feelin's been building up inside tt i felt really moody. he definately didn't show it tt day but i knew he was disappointed and sad i couldn't be there that day, as much as i wanted to. i felt sad too. sad that i was missing out on something awesome and because i had been there at the semis... and, also thinkin abt what it could have been...
heart
confidence

falling
Before hitting that "send" button, ask yourself: Would you feel comfortable coughing up this info in person? If not, save it for later.
Curb conversations about the future. Indulging in it too often can be a red flag.
"The first time you feel like saying it, count to ten, go home and say it to your cat."
i've posted these before... sometimes we need that occasional reality check - to know if its for real.
my late nights are getting out of hand...
Saturday, February 25, 2006
i was supposed to be in bangkok that weekend.
good morning!
what a friday its been!
popped by my office in the morning. had an issue goin on with newmens in the afternoon... and the accountant annoyed me by askin "oh, you can't write?".
dinner with the babes at siam kitchen was hot n spicy! but it was good... yes, with the usual girl talk`
got myself a dress! haha` another dress... thought it looks kinda big at first but it fits me like a doll. love it! i'm still thinkin of tt mini skirt. should have listened to na that day... lol` get it for me first if any of u happen to be at suntec! if its still there that is... i'm a size s (waist 25)`
we trodded down to bugis street and og. it was fun goin ard and trying all that shoes! from auntie to ugly to gordy jewelled ones... haha` the mall was kinda quiet, so we had the rows and rows of shoes all to ourselves and na was happily snapping away...
had a simple birthday celebration for alf. he's 23 today! we didn't get our local hot desserts but the mini cakes were pretty yummy` he shared with us his v-day pics and drew a rollerskate on my cast. na added a cute tagline and more hearts too.
we were all so tired at the end of the day but stayed up online till abt 2 last nite. manage to catch the torino figure skating live, my favourite event! just as i was abt to turn in at 3, got an unexpected msg fr reh. its been a while...
i'm not one who would make such plans and promises, simply because things change and people too. i'm not only refering to others but more so, myself. but now i've commited to 2...
a go-cart racing trip in malaysia - oct 20
celebrating our birthdays together - oct 11 & dec 24
hope they happen... : )
oh` there's sweet november on 5 tonite. its a really beautiful movie... won't be missing it`
Imagine long, fun nights of champagne, caviar and breaking dishes in a fireplace. Sound pretentious? It is! But Sheeps and Pigs love it, and their mutual love and understanding make this a rewarding relationship.

don't we just love exploring the idea of what-ifs in our heads...
what if i hadn't fall?
would certain things have been the way they are right now? could it have been better, just the way its been before or completely different?
what if i hadn't fall?
would certain things have been the way they are right now? could it have been better, just the way its been before or completely different?
can't help but ponder...
but then again, i'm happy with the way it is right now. everything happens for a reason? perhaps...
oh` and did i mention how tiny the world is... *raises one eyebrow*

Sincerity
1: an earnest and sincere feeling
2: the quality of being open and truthful; not deceitful or hypocritical;
3: a quality of naturalness and simplicity;
4: the trait of being serious; "a lack of solemnity is not necessarily a lack of seriousness"- Robert Rice

UNITED COLOURS
OF BEARTON
thought this picture's kinda cute!
sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. you never know who these people may be (possibly your roommate, neighbour, teacher, fraternal brother or sister, long lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger), but when you lock eyes with them, you know that at that very moment they will affect your life in some profound way.
and sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart.
everything happens for a reason. nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck. illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. without the small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight flat road to nowhere. it would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.
the people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience, help to create who you are and who you become. even the bad experiences can be learned from. in fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones. if someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to when you open your heart. if someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things. make every day count.
appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. talk to people that you have never talked to before, and actually listen. let yourself fall in love, even if it doesn't seem right because you are too young or too far, just follow your heart. break free, and set your sights high. surround yourself with those who make you smile, laugh, and make you happy. hold your head up because you have every right to. tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you. you can make your life anything you wish. create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets. most importantly, if you love someone tell them, for you never know what tomorrow may have in store. and finally, enjoy looking forward to learning a new lesson each day and enjoying the journey.
i do believe everything happens for a reason, especially the people i meet and are in my life. but i also believe that somethings do happen by chance, sheer luck or pure coincidence - with a reason behind.
an excerpt fr a blog that i chanced upon...
everything happens for a reason...
yeah, but who said anything about it being a good reason.
lol. i like that...
everything happens for a reason, but you have to decide the reason. that depends entirely on your outlook. you have to look for the good or it will only bring you down.
i dont know man sometimes things just seem bad or maybe there is a good side and i am missing it.

its funny how i can fall asleep not only when talkin to him but also when smsing... so sorry bout that` realised my half typed msg only in the mornin...
was great catching up and chilling with love over kebabs, samosas, fries and sheesha at arab st... from her big idea to school, our dear poly lecturers n mates, boys, girls, money, friends, work, rhymes and ended with us trying to converse in melayu. too bad for my arm or we could have gone for a game of pool`
watched the million makers episode featuring raffi bashir on cna. apparently his satay business is worth 50m and that his 2m 3-storey bungalow was paid for in cash. he's 2 silver mercs, one of which is a convertible driven by his very lucky one and only son. wat happen to the previous red one? anyway, we did our poly internship at his company. the six of us: sham, nash, darien, hani, oh-no-wats-her-name?!, and i. not exactly the best times of our lives but definately "memorable". the indian boy's assigned to the drinks stall to do teh tarik, the eurasian girl and chinese boy alternated between the chinese and western stall while the malay boy logically went to the satay stall. duh` lol. the other 2 malay girls had it better at the office/factory where its air conditioned n stuff. one of the things that i can so vividly remember was seeing sham being left peeling an entire sack of onions at the back of the satay stall... and helping him out at it. not that i was any good at peeling onions...
now i remember, that ugly house we used to pass by near the office which was still under construction then... is his! it looks like a 3-tier cake!
caught a bit of the episode on adam khoo. cindy's in love with this guy` not sure if she still is... lol` he's definately an inspiration.
my hair smells of grapes... fr the grape mint flavoured sheesha`

3 more weeks!
dats crazy!
the doctor said it ever so nicely... "yes, you'll suffer in the short run but in the long run its for your own good..." she said that some have to be in it for 3 months! even told her that i was planning to swim tmr should she remove the cast, n she shreiked "No!". well, she kindly extended my mc till my next appt in 3 weeks' time. my eyes almost popped when i saw on the screen, 23 days! i've been on mc since 1 feb... looks like the year of the dog ain't workin out for me. boo hoo hoo`
happy v-day
everybody!
and the first to lay his hands on my cast is... *drum rolls*
eugene! he wrote a big "get well soon!" with liquid paper quite nicely...
now i want to get out of this cast real bad as much as all of you wanna leave your mark on it. i can't stand it on for another day!
oh' n i forgot my camera for tonight! darn'

benefit of THE doubt
just hung up with feez. haven't talked to him in ages! used to talk with him often and laugh a lot but would soon end up falling asleep on him. it happens all the time! haha` he's been busy with the exams, afterwhich he'd be graduating! that guy's funny... he actually asked me if there were any damage to the ground when i fell. lol`
leah's got her crush's number! apparently she did it with honey cornflakes. a way to a man's heart is through his stomach? i've never tried that... not that i'm goin to or anything. lol` well it worked on him. you go girl' cindy and i were talkin (gosspin) abt her n other stuff too... haha` she's one demure, sweet, polite n a very filial daughter... all things sweet on the outside but she has a thing with animal prints! i guess she's got kinda a wild streak on the inside! haha` dat explains how she worked her charm on him... *wicked laughter* oh well, we both love her...
a little something's been goin on, that i haven't written much on... but that special feeling's kinda waning.

i've got a v-day date!
was so worried abt my doctors' appt this morning! it was very much a waiting game at the hospital. from getting my report at the a&e to consultation to x-ray n finally being casted - all that took almost 4 blardy hours! i actually missed my consultation no. coz i was too engrossed watchin the grammy's... lol`
anyways, my entire arm is in a blue fibreglass cast right till my palm. the doctor specifically ordered tt so that i won't be able to twist my arm. initially he said it was just gonna be a small cast! oh well... the good news, the crack is gonna heal beautifully he said but if the areas ard it doesn't heal well i may need surgery.
ok my brother just walked in n he just had to spite me...
"can you type? do you need a hand?" haha`
i did today all on my own! as much as elmo wanted to accompany me` its not exactly very nice to be at the hospital seeing sick ppl on his birthday. plus all that waiting... it would have been dreadful.
my next appt's on the 14th, of all days... lol`
its been fun n crazy celebrating elmo's b'day at fish n co & indochine last nite with cindy and then rushing off to the airport for hl's send off.
btw, i think madonna looks awesome at the grammy's opening performance! look at that body! its like a 20-yr olds' n i love her lavendar getup n corset!
i've been asked by people i meet wat happened to my arm or if i had a fall n stuff. kinda lazy repeating the story over n over again. so let's get creative...
wat happened? did you have a fall?
nah, my boyfriend abused me.
Monday, February 06, 2006
i've been back to work... altho still on mc` n yes with sling on.
got everyone askin wat happened when i pass them by. some were even sharing personal stories with me abt their accidents too.
eugene (he's one of the programe managers) had a bad dislocated elbow which needed surgery and screws and pointed out that his arm is actually still slightly bent, something i never quite noticed before.
mr. mcburney (one of my boss's associates) fractured his ankle very badly too on a motorbike accident which took months n months to fully heal... n he feels that its gonna give way one day too soon and he might need a walking stick.
geraldine (my dear petite colleague) bruised her arm when she fell off the treadmill, i saw how bad that was!
of course the older directors were shaking their heads and thinkin that these young people have got nothing better to do... haha`
we had the lion dance troupe comin in today to bless the company of good business this year. nothing new, we had the same last year too. afterwhich we had a cny company lunch, at the same restaurant as last years'... i gave that a miss altho alan (he's the admin manager) was persuading me to go... even teasin that he'd feed me! and everyone got a couple of oranges and ang pows (the amount's the same as last years too... haha). how could i have missed today... lol`
i read the new paper article featuring the zero sequence guys... didn't read it on tnp tho' i seldom read tt anyway. the interview was a couple of mths ago at thumper, which i was around. really cool media exposure... i hope something comes out fr it!
anyone wants to follow me to the orthopedic, thurs morning?
the weekend's fantastic! well, na and leng already blogged about half of it so i don't think i need to go into much details...
got my dose of cheering up with the girls over dinner, games at settlers' cafe and hanging out at the esplanade.
its fun playing board/card games again. i can't even remember when the last time i played monopoly or scrabble. lol` how many of us even have the luxury of owning the other quirky fun board games apart fr those... haha. ok i did have a few like the mad magazine game, mastermind, uno, jenga and a few others that i can't remember wat they're called. ok they're not exactly the most super fun games as compared to what we have today but those were the days... i bet the next time we'll be playing board games over afternoon weekends is when we have kids. lol` i don't mean literally the next time, but u get what i mean...
was thinking that it'd be nicer if it were at one of our homes. we all can bring down our games and have crazy fun in the comforts of home. but then, there won't be the luxury of rootbeer floats and mochas plus bp fries being served and friendly assistance with a push of a button!
went shopping with mom for home linen on sunday... thought i needed new sheets. its been some time since i went shopping with her actually. so at the end of the day, got myself...
a quilt
a quilt cover set
in this funky design and the colour's so bright!
pink sheets with big heart shaped squiggles all over
supposedly in the mood for valentines' lol` its pretty lar... all that home linen from aussino.
famous amos cookies
i've had 2 packs of this over the week. comfort food...
panties
queued so long just to pay for this and when the cashier was pointing out that this was non-exchangable n stuff, i realised the pack's the wrong size! XL! my arse ain't that big... i was looking at the designs n colour when choosing. silly me`

a vanity mirror
been wanting one for some time...
got busy with my room after we got back that i didn't realise there's a huge bruise on my inner elbow until later in the evening. yes i've been out of my sling, its really irritating... my mom attributes that to my coming home at 2am on saturday and apparently nothing to do with carrying all the shopping. haha` now its still there, plus another's formed at the outer elbow - its brown, slightly green, blue and yellow. my bro thinks its gross but if i were as fair as na, it'd look even gross-er. doesn't hurt that bad tho` i'm sure its not as bad as it looks, don't want anyone to get worried here... anyway, i'm seeing the orthopedic on thusday.
speakin of thursday... 9 Feb! azlin's turning 23, yulius, 22, and imran, 26.
hl's flying off to shanghai late wed nite. hope i'd be able to send her off at the airport...hmm, we'd be one company down the next six months until she returns. she's definately gonna be missed!
and ash will be turning 23 tmr. happy birthday all you aquarians!
You treat me like I'm a princess
I'm not used to liking that
You ask how my day was

contusion right humerus
the good news, i am using my right hand to type this now. the bad news, i can barely bend (or straighten) this arm to touch my hair. don't talk abt havin the strength to even tie it up! i'd be happy for a moment i can move my right arm without much discomfort and think that i'm alrite, but as soon as the effect of the painkillers wear out, every move is excruciating. lol`
the doctor didn't give me
10 days off (that's 2 good weeks off work) and
3 types of painkillers if it wasn't this bad.
the doctor's wonderful btw! totally made me feel at ease. he carefully explained wat happened (he actually used a stick to demonstrate wat happened to the bone) and showed me where the bleedin and clot was from the x-ray film. even told us a little story about how his friend broke her arm rollerblading too and how the bone was jutting out. lol` dats precisely why he doesn't even wanna try skating, after seeing patients like us. haha... oh, the x-ray was the worst! the medic was telling me to lay my arm in this n that position to get the shots when i can barely move without screaming in pain! i almost cried... he was apologising profusely tho` all that, plus the waiting took 2 hrs at ttsh's a&e.
just got up fr a really long nap, popped a couple of the pills to ease the pain coz its even more painful lying down than standing. wouldn't have been able to sleep last nite if it weren't for the painkillers. am suppose to take 1, 2 or all 3 depending on the degree of pain and the two stronger ones causes drowsiness. dats how i manage to sleep...
i don wanna go into how i fell n all that anymore. all i wanna say is that i met 2 angels, liz and sam, who helped me up, looked for my friend, skated with me back, even tried to make me feel better by makin me laugh along the way and helped to ice my arm.
got a follow up appt with an orthopedic on the 9th. hope the x-ray comparison shows tt everything's fine and the bleedin n clot is gone, otherwise i'll have to go for physiotherapy. i'm sure the doctor was just trying to scare me... rite?
ok this arm needs to get back on the sling now...
thanks guys for your love n concern, unfortunately there's no cast for you to vandalise! lol`

its the THOUGHT that counts?
or is it just plain cheap talk
february's here. a month of 2006 has already gone. nothing much to look fwd to the next few months, in terms of holidays n stuff. except for perhaps valentine's day? ok dats not a holiday per se but definately something that most will be loking forward to, i guess. i'm refering to those who're oh-so-in-love and business owners who will be cashing in big bucks. some would do just about anything... but isn't everyday suppose to be just as special?
I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again
I thought about it

Day 4
showers never felt so good...
skatin's awesome today! the weather's pretty cool, except for a little drizzle. we did fort road n then all the way to bedok jetty. never thought i'd pick it up so fast after my getting-nowhere attempt a couple of yrs back. its only been my 4th day. the view off the jetty was beautiful, beneath the wide open skies!
oh' i saw this guy walk down the flight of stairs at the underpass with his skates! haha. ok i sound like i'm dumb-struck by that, but this other girl actually turned back n stared at him walkin up in wheels.
had my worst fall as well. was goin downhill n amber was goin too fast for me to control, i skided to the right n fell on my bum. ouch` it was pretty bad, even my hair came loose. my knees n hands would have been grated, if it weren't for my guards. i tink 2 dudes at the back saw tt 'action', they looked kinda stunned. but i'm alright...
my bum doesn't hurt tho` i'm not sure how i'll feel when i wake up tomorrow morning... but my little right toe really hurts now...
thank you for taking the time and having the patience :-)

i'm looking for something more than COMPANIONSHIP
just the other day, i was reasoning abt how we are so different.
the way we think, how we look at things, our approaches, direction and outlook on life.
i'm not sure if its the age factor, coz he is a few yrs older than i am or is it because we're simply 2 very different people. wisdom and experience comes with age and i
i'm 21 and life has just begun for me. there are lots of things i want to achieve and accomplish! the drive, attitude, energy and enthusiasm i have to get what i want is undeniable. we all have a game plan. we all want to be the best person we can be and be successful people. well, who doesn't?! we are definately different in that aspect (i'm not saying he doesn't have a game plan, maybe its not at the same level) but then again, its not as if he's very old...
altho we are different, we understand each other. i think? lol` actually... most of the time i do but on some times, i really don't. he understands me more, definately... maybe because he's been there? i'm not sure.
he does have admirable qualities... reliability, dependability, good-natured, honesty, sincerity, hardworkin - perfect as a support but not a drive.
this is what i'm lookin for. i'm not sure abt him because he hasn't quite told me. but my impression, if he is looking for someone to simply share our life's journey, then perhaps being best friends/buddies would do. because what i've always wanted is someone who inspires me and he, inspired by me.
should i be glad that we didn't happen? perhaps... coz it just would have lasted all of 2 mths or so. my first instincts and judgement can't be wrong, now its proven.
companionship and respect.
questions everyone should ask, when at that crossroad:
do you genuinely like him/her?
do you respect him/her?
does the relationship enhance or diminish who you are?
maybe when i've been there n done that, accomplished all there is... and i've no special companion, then perhaps i'd be lookin for just plain companionship... someone to smell the roses with... *imagines*
but rite now, smelling roses?! lol`
auntie sharifah called yesterday. she wanted to get zirh's fix (its an anti-blemish gel) for her son... she got turned off by the price after enquiring how much. i don't blame her coz i think its absurdly pricey too... $72!.
but... it works! yes, i've tried. n that tube can prob last more than 6 months. a little goes a long way...
she's one customer who i'm personally in touch with. she's a nice lady and we don't get many mums getting facial care stuff for their 20-something son! lol` apart fr the usual chatter, her first visit to the shop got her askin me my name, number, whether i'm malay and if i'm married!
anyway...
we did shopping last nite! Ooohh...
2 camisoles and a tube top
one of the camis is the wrong size coz its packed wrongly! now i need to go back to have it changed, altho body wear is non-exchangable. hey, its their fault!
a red/burgundy dress
i wasn't intendin of getting anymore dresses but this was so irresistible. i love this dress! i love the rich colour...like teal, deep greens, blues n reds.
a pair of shorts from b.u.m
a cream pullover fr topshop
this kinda looks like a t-shirt dress, i like it! i'm thinkin of getting another in white!
2 flower bands for my hair
really pretty!
all that without my card! and cindy was the one who declared tt she wanted to shop crazy...
all the 3 pairs of shoes i liked were out of stock :-(
i need new flats...
i want the pin-striped boot cut pants fr topshop!
i need a bag for my skates...
and i really could do with a suga daddy or a money plant.

the weather's really fine on
cloud number 9
i take my vitamins before i go to bed
just finished running errands.
sent my slippers for repair
this is so long overdue. they have been sitting in my office for weeks!
snail mailed a little something to wah sing in aussie land
hope she likes it!
bought vitamins.
vit E and B2.
started takin vitamins only recently... but i grew up on cod liver oil. remember that thick orange flavoured syrup and this man carrying his huge cod on his back! the white unflavoured one is yucky... then we upgraded to softgels. i like bursting the gels in my mouth! lol` there's still abt half a bottle of anti-oxidant tablets and a bottle of multi-vitamins at home. i really cannot swallow the multi-vit coz the tablets are HUGE. everytime i try to swallow, it'll get stuck in my throat, my face n eyes will turn red and my hand would be over my mouth trying not to puke. the feelin after i finally swallow (if i don puke already) just sucks. imagine goin through that everyday!!! i've tried omega-3 tablets, evening primrose and this month's B2. vit E is pretty much a staple for me. i'd always be so tempted to pick out this n that vitamin fr the shelf, esp at mustafa... they have tonnes there, stuff that's for bright eyes to good skin, hair n nails and wat-have-u. who doesn't want all that... but i ain't a vitamin junkie`
THE heART and soul OF LISTENING
we all like to think we are good listeners but we are not. why is this? have you ever stopped to think about the script we are living? we spend 12 years in school learning how to read and write. we learn how to present information. yet we never get taught how to listen.
can you imagine telling someone the most important thing in the world and, as you get to the conclusion, the person says: "excuse me, i have to take this call."
were they really listening? were they really interested?
you learn nothing from speaking. sure, people will argue that the best way to learn is to teach. think about it - what do you learn by listening to your own voice? if you want to grow and gain new perspectives you need to listen to others.
we all speak too much. myself included. God created us with two ears and one mouth, and there is a reason for this ratio.
Sunday, January 22, 2006
think i'm really jinxed... everytime i'm at east coast, i bring the rain with me.
sofri might just tell me not to get any closer to east coast! lol` it'll just ruin a good day of training, altho we do have plan B!
all that go-lower, lean-forward, push, bend-your-knees action has got my body aching now. but i can't wait for more track action! its really fun...
kabir's nite out at zouk with his buddies last nite didn't turn out as well as he'd like. now he's bugging me to dxo on the 30th. wats goin on on that day anyway? i know mos has got a special.
so last nite, skipped all invites and chose to stay in instead. i was too tired anyway... imran was at indochine, ash at chijmes, kabir at zouk, and na at dxo, while i was happily skatin the evening away...
all i need now is a good nite's sleep, my eyes are too tired for robbie tonite.

wish i could have tt shot taken...
boarded bus no 13 only to have 2 dudes at the back of the bus give way to this girl. she with her pair of amber skates in the middle of 2 guys with their surfer boards! cool sight`
it felt so i-can't-think-of-an-appropriate-word-now, the fella on the right was checkin amber out while the one on left was chekin me out... so i whipped out my mp3, turned it up loud and just zoned out. can't be bothered la...
the fella on the left looked so damn familiar tho` like someone fr secondary school...or was it primary school? lol`
its only my second day at it and first, with amber. remember i said that yellow's not my colour? well i really like her now. she's so scarily mobile tt i can feel it moving by itself! can't count the number of times i fell... but i got to tag n feel wat its like to speedskate!

X & Y
X
You are an incorrigible idealist and quintessential romantic. Affectionate, warmhearted, sentimental, naturally optimistic, you do everything in your power to please. Your stock-in-trade is charm.
Y
Anyone who cares enough to penetrate your shell of reserve will be greatly rewarded. Your affections and loyalty run deep, and you cherish and protect those you love. And you stick around when the going is toughest.
X is drawn to Y's strong sexuality, but that's as far as it goes. X needs flattery and attention, but Y keeps its affections buried. Sentimental, in-love-with-love X won't get much understanding from realistic, materialistic Y. And X's lazy, easygoing ways will offend Y, who believes in hard work and achievement at any price. X is fond of socializing and nightlife, while Y tends to be a loner, comfortable with only a chosen few. A short-lived romance.
Y is intrigued by magnetic X, and X is charmed by Y's slowly revealed passions. But over the long term X needs more excitement, romance, and beauty than Y can provide. Y is not oriented toward social and artistic pursuits, which are X's favorite activities. Y prizes discipline and responsibility, and finds X altogether too frivolous, vain, and self-centered. X turns restive and starts to look elsewhere. Throw in some Y jealousy to keep the cauldron bubbling. A recipe for disaster.
i find all this so hilarious
lines
drawing clear lines on how things are supposed to be

darryl dropped me a msg this afternoon. he caught me on the bus the day before but i didn't even notice. well he wasn't even sure if its me. i thought he was prob at the back of the bus, but apparently we're just one person away. gosh..
Me: *gushes* do you know that he's got a 6-pack...
Him: i've got an 8-pack! *grinz*
Me: *rolls eyes* hahaha...
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over,
I want to know right now what would it be.
I don't want to wait for our lives to be over,
will it be yes or will it be sorry?
So open up your morning light,
and say a little prayer for I.
You know that if we are to stay alive,
then see the peace in every eye.

He woke up one morning
to see a flash of orange light
A curious sight to foggy eyes
that have withered past the night
The light bloomed into a flower
and in the arc of a sheepish smile
Hello said the mysterious stranger
would you be so kind to follow me to Eurasia
Eurasia he exclaimed
did the myths tell you the same
About a land of magestry
where kings and queens were ever so vain
And so they got on their way
to seek this place of splendour
Across the plains and valleys they say
lies the fable behind the answer
The days grew old
and the nights turned cold
As they braved through the storm
time and time again
Is Eurasia bound to be just a legend
buried under the weight of the ocean
With every turn and every look
there were no hints of absolution
Wishes are for those who stand a chance of it becoming true
So if wishes were fishes
Then even the ocean can't bury the stars
So they grew fins and gills
and swam deep looking for this treasure
This had to be the last straw
at least the company was a pleasure
A light said the stranger
Follow the ray of light
that must be Eurasia
she screamed in delight
And so the tale ends
with the founding of Eurasia
A place where dreams come true
An absolute fantasia

been ard checkin out skates.
katong, peninsula, east coast, paya lebar, suntec, queensway.
i've more or less settled on the rossignol amber, as much as yellow is not my colour. not a single one has caught my eye and got me saying "I must have that!". my brother's are hot! but they aren't really customisable...
