And this is just my life.

home alone.. once again.

2011-05-22T22:35:00.009+08:00

Parents out for honeymoon cruise trip to Redang (where i've been wanting to go badly) and brother out with gf to USS. I'm always left alone these days, can't help but feel emptiness beginning to fill me up once again, no matter how happy i try to be.

At my age, friends are mostly attached, planning to get married, or even married, starting a family.

I don't want to grow old all alone, like my senior colleagues.
They have no one to talk to when they feel troubled, and i really feel sorry for them.
It's just too much to handle all alone.
Scary.
But what if i'm destined to be single?
It'll probably be my fate, but i really don't want this to happen to me.

Someone said to me before, that i'm a nuisance and ask me to stop bothering.

And that someone also said to me before, that i'm not pretty; and i always know that.

I know my limits.

That's the reason why i've been keeping a distance to male friends, in terms of communication.
I always try to be as cautious as possible, afraid that i'll hear similar comments again.

I don't know whether it's due to the bad experience i had been through before, that it becomes hard for people to open up my heart and accept them.

I'm sorry if i always seem to be very courteous, and sound distant.

It's definitely unintentional.

Maybe it's time for me to open my heart to somebody, though i still have the phobia of getting hurt again.

你，
真的可以给我幸福吗？
不会让我再受伤害吗？
真的可以守护我吗？

爱情，
真的来了吗？

就让一切随缘吧。

这是一个没有答案的问题

我感觉我变了

Oh 谁让我变了

原本这是一个没有答案的问题

却被你解开了

简单的解开了

你走过来

带着和别人不同的对白

你甚至不让我知道

你对我有多好

慢慢地

这份爱

悄悄地住下来

深深地

在心里

没人看得出来

安静地

但却一直都在

是你默默的爱

慢慢地

这份爱

已经变成依赖

浅浅的

笑容里

却让我充满期待

不用说

我就能够明白

a Cooling Christmas!

2010-12-25T22:43:00.014+08:00

Wishing all my dearies a Merry Christmas! Hope everyone has enjoyed their day. As for me, i'm enjoying this day by spending my time sleeping the whole day today! Haha. Yes, this is probably my christmas wish for this year; to just stay at home and not doing anything at all but sleep. It really felt great with the rainy weather! Now that i totally recharged and all my tiredness gone, i can finally sit down in front of my computer for some blogging time! Hee.

So many things have happened during the past few months, such as my tioman trip (went during the beginning of August), Hong Kong trip (in Mid November) and birthday etc. So as usual, i'm going to use photos for the updates. Tata!

Went past Suntec City with besties some time in August and happened to see the most number of tanks in my life. They looked really cool!

Had a dinner with my ex boss one night when i happened to bump into her after work.
And she treated me to a lobster buffet! That was the first time i was eating a whole lobster all by myself!
However, there isn't any news about her since she had left the bank. Really hope she's doing fine.

My favourite hangout whenever i feel like going somewhere with not much crowd.
And it'll be City Square Mall!
Love going to this restaurant for a meal! The food is quite good and really cheap!
You'll never spent more than $20 per person and you can get to try a variety of food.

Squid Ink spagetti can really make you look like a monster.
Warning: Don't ever eat this in front of your opposite sex!

My favourite milktea!
And it's getting famous!

Brought my parents to Orchard some time ago since they kept complaining that they haven't been to those newly opened malls. Treated them ramen for dinner as well.

A successful MLXC gathering at Punggol Marina Sakura.
Will definitely go there for another gathering again! =)

My cousin's baby boy 1 month celebration.
Baby Xane is so cute and i'm missing him already!
Can't wait to carry him!

Was walking along the lane outside Central mall and saw the decorations for Lantern Festival.
The scenery was really beautiful, but it'll be even nicer if i had someone by my side to walk around at that moment.

Some jelly mooncakes for the festival!

Tried this in a Japanese restaurant in Ion Orchard.
The food tasted so korean though. Love it lots!

Some "Happiness Tea" to try if it can really make me happy.
Yes, it's really called the Happiness Tea. Ordered this when i had lunch in a Japanese ramen restaurant in Raffles City mall.

Their ramen is quite authentic.

And this plate of shells is called "Gong Gong".
So will i really become stupid/gong if i eat them?
I hope i didn't.

Had dinner at this restaurant for Melvin and his gf's birthday celebration.
Interesting place for a meal.

Went for a drink after the meal till late at night.

Bought this wallet in Venetian Macau as a birthday gift for myself this year.
It's about $100 plus cheaper than buying in Singapore.
Loves* - it's my first branded purchase.

Besties bought this for me during my birthday.
Love her!

Had a feast in Swensen's before i headed to school for a boring lecture.

Frienzie treated me dinner at a restaurant in Sentosa on the same day after my lecture.

The ambience is good but the food is just normal.

Headed to Haagen Daz for some desserts as well.

Jx, poh poh, Sharon and Alvin bought these for me as birthday gift.
Love them lots! Thanks! =)

Had this for lunch in Takashimaya when i went to Orchard with besties 2 weeks ago.
Love the settings and the food!

Some ice cream to cool down the heat from the bad weather.
Loves*

Somtimes, it's good to eat some Gui Ling Gao for removing toxic in our body.
It's one of my favourite desserts even though it's bitter!

I'm having cravings for Oyster omelette again!
Anyone wants to bring me to eat this?

And we had a warm steamboat dinner at besties's house last night to celebrate Christmas.
It was really a feast with lots of food.
A big thank you to besties's mum for preparing these.

Had some red wine after dinner.

Plus a mini logcake sponsored by me. =)

We chatted, had fun and watched movie at besties's house till 1am before taking a stroll back home with yp. This is also partly the reason why i need to rest the whole day today. Hee.

Christmas presents received this year.

And last but not least, some cosmetics and skincare products i've bought recently to try. =D
I've finally finished using these three products: L&S essence (bought from Korea), Shiseido emulsion & The Face Shop eye serum. All these three are quite good, but since i wanna try other brands, i didn't continue using these now.

Here's my current skincare products i'm using:
Bought this eye serum at Chinatown when the shop was having 40% off for this brand.
Really a good deal to buy!
The texture is not sticky and it absorbs quickly into the skin.
Overall a great product for the price i paid. ($17!)

Since i've finished using my Shiseido range, i've switched to Hada Labo products as i need to save money for my school fees.

Overall, these Hada Labo products really amaze me. Not only the total prices of their lotion, whitening milk and essence cost the price of only one bottle of Shiseido product, the effects are just as good. My skin feels so moisturised whenever i applied all three.
And the Cleaning Express facial wash is the best make-up remover that i've ever used. It not only removes make-up fast, it moisturises my skin as well and most importantly, it's cheap! Think i'll just stick to this brand forever.

Some cosmetics bought recently:
Coffret D'or blusher & Dior High Addict lipstick.
Bought these two because of their pretty packaging. Just can't get my eyes off them.

MAC loose powder and eyeliner in coffee brown.
The eyeliner is really soft and smooth to apply.

Bought these in Hong Kong since you can't find them in Singapore.
Jill Stuart lip balm (the packaging is really pretty!) and H&M christmas eye palette.

Best BB cream ever!

Korres body butter and lip balm at 20% discount. The products are quite similar to the Body Shop but they definitely have better quality. That's why they're more expensive which i think is worth the money.

Koji eyelash curler and MAC sharpener.

Aren't they lovely? =)

And yeah, kindly refer to my facebook for my Tioman and Hong Kong trip photos.
Lazy to upload again. Hee. =P

再次，祝大家圣诞节快乐哟! ^^

2nd MC of the year.

2010-11-03T21:31:00.017+08:00

The year is ending soon, and i'm on 2 days mc (second time of the year), due to my swollen eye. Was on a week's mc in August because of salivary gland infection, which made me look like pufferfish; with all the swelling and pain. I didn't even dare to look at the mirror during that period. A nightmare indeed. Haven't been on mc for the past 2 years plus, and yet i've claimed 7 days of mc within just 3 months. Probably my body is telling me that it's time to take a good mc break. Haha.

Have been so busy since school starts, that i don't even have time for myself. And the after-effect of not leading a normal life is that i'm starting to get emotional, more temperamental and agitated easily. I really don't know why i'm becoming like this, so for friends who feel offended out there, please pardon me. I'm really trying hard to control my emotions. At times, i'll just suddenly feel like crying for getting myself into this state, or i'll just get so angry with myself for the disappointing results that i've gotten. Life just sucks big time for me these days, that i can't even relax a little.

Our Hong Kong trip next saturday is the only source of motivation for me to continue with my busy schedule.; even if i know i'll get really broke after this trip. This will be the most expensive gift that i've ever given myself for birthday. Really hope it'll turn out well, as I really need a good break to forget all the troubles and stress for a time being.

I'm starting to feel lonely these days as well. Maybe it's part and parcel of life, to learn how to survive alone in this world, without friends and family staying by your side.

I used to hate being alone.
Now, i'm getting used to it more and more.

Struggling.

有个外国朋友这么对我说了，让我身受感动：

“心念轉變，對事物的態度就會不同，心情愉快，運氣自然開。所以「心轉就是念轉，開心就是開運」就是這樣的道理。人人養成說好話、做好事，不僅能為自己創造好運磁場，更能增加福報。
因此一個好的信念、好的能量是很重要的。多接近能量好的人、好的磁場、能讓你開心喜樂的地方，才是現代人應該具備有的智慧與判斷。

心情調整好，正面思考唷。活在每天的方格中....盡量把當天事情處理好，別給自己壓力太大。
珍惜.....活在當下。

一起加油唷。”

或许，只有交个海外的朋友才能让我吐出心声，因为只有他才会时常关心我，问我最近过的怎样，原意毫无怨言的当个聆听者。

TGIS (Thank Goodness It's Saturday!)

2010-07-17T12:23:00.010+08:00

Yeah.. Saturday has finally arrived! =) This week has been a tough week for me; have to go to and fro for training at another section and handling work as well. Almost fainted of tiredness.

Anyway, today's post will be another continuation of my previous two posts.. since i didn't manage to finish uploading all my mobile photos (they're just too many!) and my craze on cosmetics (really spent quite abit on cosmetics these days!).

My first classic manicure! (did an express one for the previous round)
Glittery!

Had this Japanese black pork ramen for lunch before the manicure!
Oishi!

Had this salmon spagetti for dinner @ TCC during one of MLXC gatherings few weeks ago.
Looked pleasant but tasted weird.

Had this mango and durian ice after dinner!
It's superb!

One of my favourtie noodles at a Hong Kong style cafe!
It's called the trishaw noodles if i'm not wrong.

And now.. Cosmetics Craze! =D

Bobbi Brown concealer stick
Esprique Precious lip rouge
Coffert D'or lip gloss
Make Up Forever aqua eyes eyeliner
Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Frame Plus
Majolica Majorca eye palettes

And more Majolica Majorca!
1 MajoTrick eye palette
2 Eye Splash cream shadows
& 2 lip gloss!
(I'm seriously loving this brand!)

Benefit sugarbomb (it's a cheek blush; love it lots!)
Kose's Happy Bath Day Mist Cologne (love the scent!)

Paul & Joe eye gloss (shimmery!)
Paul & Joe liquid foundation

Paul & Joe loose powder (it's a great setting powder!)
& Majolica Majorca lip gloss again!
plus some bow hairbands.. i'm getting a bow craze as well)

Majolica Majorca eye palette again!
& a bow hairclip this time!

Have been using this combi for my facial wash for a couple of years.
It's a great combi but i've decided to try something new after finishing them.

And i bought the Neutrogena ones to try since they have great reviews and are non-comedogenic. Hope they work well!
And Lioele BB foundation! (love the glow it works on me!)

I'm finally finishing these two Kose emulsion and liquid mask.
The emulsion is great but the liquid mask has a strong alcoholic smell.
Tried Kose's essence togther with these two as well and it was not bad too.
However, i still prefer Shiseido's skincare compared to these.

Happy Father's Day!!

2010-06-20T15:04:00.003+08:00

Wishing my Daddy and all fathers in this world a Happy Father's Day! It's a day for all hardworking fathers to receive gratitude from their children for all their efforts to support the family as it's really not an easy role!! Cheers!

I'm still thinking of how to celebrate this day with my family; brought them for a Korean feast last year. However, due to financial constraints this year, i'll probably be going for a budget one.

And here's a continuation of last week's post:

My favourite breakfast!

Mummy made my favourite Ban Mian during my study break so that i could get to eat it when it was hot from the pot! It was really super duper delicious! My top favourite food out of everything!

And i cooked the Korean instant dry noodles to try for lunch during one of the days.
The noodles were really Q and nice!

I also tried one of the titbits that i bought from Korea.
The Super Junior packaging attracted me to buy! Haha!

Tasted like 旺旺米饼 but it's less salty! I'm loving it!

Winnie's baby Shervon again! She is always the prime role during our gatherings these days!

Had dinner at Astons that night! Cheap and good!
Black pepper fish with cold pasta and mashed potatoes.

The weather's getting so warm these days. Definitely needa ice cream to cool down!
Andersen's Rum and Raisin ice cream! =D

I'm loving this jelly-like drink! It was a door gift from The Face Shop in Korea.

Bought flowers for Mummy during Mother's Day. This was my first time buying flowers for her. Wanted to make her feel touched. Hehe. =)

Made pancakes for Mummy as well!

Finally got to eat another box of classical cakes again!

Congrats on my cousin's wedding!

Cooling Sunday.

2010-06-13T16:37:00.017+08:00

Had a good rest at home today with the cooling weather; it's just so comfortable lying on my bed the whole day like a worm.. LOL. Anyway, helped my mum in making rice dumplings since 端午节 is just around the corner. This was my first time learning to make dumplings; it wasn't easy at all! You must be skilful enough to make a nice one or maybe you can just say that i'm just a little clumsy. Haha.

Here's a photo of some of our 作品! =)

And the followings are some random snapshots that i took over the past few months.
It's going to be a long one!

I found this deep inside my drawer when i was doing spring-cleaning for CNY.
My mum bought this Winter Sonata pendant for me when she went South Korea in 2004. Haha!

My MP3 players out of which the 2 left ones are spoilt. Took a photo before i threw them away..

The apron that i used to wear during CNY when i was working in CS.
Memories!

My perfumes and scented body cream (from Crabtree and Evelyn) - i just love the fragrant flower scent!

Some shower cream, body scrub, body butter and lotion from The Body Shop (think i have more now.. hehe. Recently purchased the cherry blossoms one to try) and my Shiseido body creator which is said to be effective in removing the irritating bumps on my arms.

A gift during a Christmas exchange.

My new bedsheet for CNY. Just love Little Twin Stars!

The traditional longevity noodles that we only get to eat once a year during CNY; cooked by my beloved grandma! It's so delicious!

Not forgetting the traditional Lo Hei with family during CNY..

My sweet cousin and me.

My Grandpa!

Winnie's baby.. so cute!

=)

Taken some time ago when we celebrated Poh Poh's birthday.

Had dinner in a restaurant at Anchorvale CC.
The food was not very nice though.

And i really miss the drinks that i've tried in Korea.
Banana milk and aloe vera drink (thumbs up)

Rice drink and soya bean milk (healthy!)

Korean type of "Yakult" (it's so cheap.. only cost about SGD10 cents!)

Mum was so sweet to try and make sushi for me to bring to school to eat during breaktime when i was on study leave. It felt so great to stay at home with mummy during those 3 weeks.

Though they were not really nicely done, they were definitely made with love. =D

It was like a scene in those Korean dramas. Hee.. think i've watched too much dramas.

uploading the photos halfway.. will be back soon!

I'm Back!! =)

2010-05-23T21:05:00.022+08:00

Hi everyone~! I'm back again! I'm not sure if anyone will still view my blog since i haven't been blogging for such a longg time. Hehe. But anyway, i'll still blog since i treat this as a sort of diary for myself. I was really so so busy during the past few months that i couldn't make time for blogging. (as i always have to spend a couple of hours just on blogging)

Well, the UOL exams was just over for me on thursday - finally; whew. A nightmare is what i can think of to describe how i overcame my past two months. Had 6-hours UOL revision workshops per day for all my April weekends (both Sats & Suns), not including the 3-hours lessons during weekday evenings for local revisions for 4 days per week during the last 2 weeks of April. It was really a Crazy schedule for me. Seriously mentally and physically tiring for me as i had to travel from East all the way to West just to attend the lessons. Took me almost 4 hours to travel to and fro the school each day. The worst thing was, my exams were during the first three weeks of May and i had 2 papers falling on one day out of my 4 papers and another paper the next morning!

Made my best attempt to do thorough revisions and memorizing during the last 5 days by imprisoning myself at home; spending almost 14 hours studying each day. Don't you think it's really Crazy?! I felt like dying of stress during those days as the coverage for the papers were really too wide. Haix.. let's pray hard for me that i'll pass my exams.

Anyway, let's put the sad stuff aside. Happy memories now!
The first good news that i wanted to share was i finally went Korea with my family during March!! =D
It's been like almost 11 years since the last time we had an overseas trip together. (not counting Malaysia~) Our last trip was China and i was only 13 then. Furthermore, this year is my parents' 25th wedding anniversary! This was one of the main reasons why we decided to spend for a family trip.

Overall, the whole trip experience was really great with my aunts/uncles and best cousins!! Due to climate changes, it was snowing heavily during one of the days we were there as we encountered cold wave on the first day we reached there. This wasn't supposed to be happening as late march should be early spring for Korea. Anyway, the whole experience was filled with happiness plus chilling coldness~~ and our first ever snowman in Everland! =)

We wore raincoat cos it was still snowing!

ASA's tour itineries were really worthwhile compared to other tour agencies. Not only the sightseeing was great, the food they provided was superb as well. If anyone has plans to visit Korea and would like to go for lots of sightseeing, i would suggest if you can give ASA a thought. Going for a free and easy trip with sightseeing around in Korea yourself will definitely cost you a bomb as the transport and accommodation there are quite expensive. However, the only drawback with tour groups is that there wouldn't be much time for shopping. Like for mine, we only had 3 and half hours of shopping for the whole 8 days trip!! This really upsets me as well as my cousins!! =(

However, i still managed to get some stuff within that time frame in Dongdaemun and Sinchon Fashion Street. I really Lovee Sinchon so much as there are stretches and stretches of small street shops selling cheap and nice clothes/shoes/bags/accessories/cosmetics/skin care products; everything that a girl wants! If i were to go Korea again (free and easy one), i'll definitely include Sinchon in my plans.

Oh.. i really miss there~ ♥

Some stuff that i managed to get..
-Snacks! Yummy~

-all-time favourites Kimchi! -
i like the crispy taste!

-Jeju Island's famous snacks; tangerine chocolates!-

-Some stuff i bought in Sinchon-

-Only clothing from Dongdaemun-

-And all the souvenirs and some skin care products!-
They're really so much cheaper than in Singapore!

I bought 50 pieces of facial masks, 2 tubes of body cream, few nail polishes and 2 tubes of facial wash from The Face Shop. And they all costed about only one third of the prices in Singapore! Gosh! I should have gotten more! I also bought 2 tubs of Laneige water sleeping mask and sunblock lotion as they were also much cheaper, and 2 bottles of water essence and peeling gel from Lady&Skin (it's a new brand in Korea i think; couldn't find any reviews on the web about this brand). I'm using the water essence now and it absorbs into the skin really fast and won't cause stickiness at all. It is said to have contained ginseng powder; but dunno whether it's true or not. Quite a good product anyway. =)

Had a great time shopping in Orchard yesterday to relieve all the exam stress and work stress. Will blog again (hopefully next week) about my craze on cosmetics now! haha!

Tomorrow is Monday again. =(

Happy New Year!!

2010-01-02T23:58:00.019+08:00

Here comes another brand new year again; a fresh start for everything - for me.

Resolutions for this year will be almost quite similar as last year, since i didn't get to visit Korea nor slim down! =(

Thus, the wishes will be as follows:
- study hard for the upcoming exams will definitely be the first priority
- work hard & save money for tours and skincare
- to slim down; or at least get rid of my tummy fats
- a holiday trip to Korea
& last but not least,
- to get enrolled in Singapore Korean School!

Well well, really hope that i can fulfil all these wishes by end of this year so that i won't have any regrets cos age is adding on fast!

Anyway, some updates for the past one month since i haven't been blogging after my birthday. Pardon me cos i was really super busy!

Some stuff that i bought for myself as birthday presents.

This is the best gift i've ever received cos i've been wanting it since young!

Thanks MLXC! Love you guys lots!!

Birthday Gatherings.

with family.

with besties.

with frenzie.

My very first manicure.
i know i'm kinda outdated cos this has been in fashion for many years.
Just used to think it's a waste of money to go for mani & pedicure, but wanted to give it a try for my 23rd birthday.
So i did.

And i'm quite satisfied with the results!
love french manicure! =)

This was a receipt from a Chinese restaurant offering ala carte buffet where we celebrated our Grandma's birthday.
And my cousins and me (11 people) ate a total of 79 servings of dim sums!
Think this was the highest record for us and the staff there didn't seem to look too happy about it.
Haha!

my cute little cousins!

Some christmas presents from my parents.
They're so cute! (which refers to my parents too cos they haven't been buying such cute stuff for me since decades ago!)

-Loves-

A Christmas present that i bought for myself.

-love it lots! it's a study lamp!-

Went to watch Alvin & the Chipmunks II last weekend and i'm starting to love them to bits! They're really incredibly adorable! Now i can understand why people went crazy over them 2 years ago cos i didn't get to watch their first movie.

-saw them at Raffle Exchange! muacks!-

Was at clarke quay for the countdown of 2010 with besties.

-dinner @ Watami-

-this was probably the first time i actually went all the way down to Marina Bay to watch the countdown fireworks!

Went numerous shopping trips these few months but didn't manage to buy stuffs that i like until the past 2 days.
Finally bought a dress and a pair of heels for CNY!
Not going to show here cos will upload the photos in due course!

i'm currently trying to learn this dance. Just kinda think that it will help to flatten the tummy.
Hehe. Hope it'll work well for me! Haha.

Counting Down..

2009-11-19T15:06:00.004+08:00

Today marks the last day of my 22 years living in this world.. just 9 more hours to go and i'll turn 23!! Gosh.. i can feel that i'm seriously growing "older", not really the definition of getting OLD, but as in being more mature in terms of thinking and.. perhaps image? Hehe.

No doubt that being 23 certainly means i'm a grown-up adult now; i'm still hoping that i can always be at sweet 18.. not much troubles to worry about, just enjoying life like any other teenagers (like my brother? - just so envy him). Haix.. i'm kind of regretting that i didn't really cherish those teenage moments well enough; didn't really pursue my dreams and what i wanted.. Signs. Anyway, those were the days that have past. I'll just have to look ahead to my future and learning to be more independent, relying on myself for a living and struggling to survive in this complicated society.

Really enjoyed a good time resting at home these few days; i'm feeling more recharged and energetic now, with all the sleeping, slacking, doing anything i want at home and most importantly, i can have dinners together with my family. Yes, it's FREEDOM like a student! haha.. - for just these 2 precious weeks. After that, i'll be back to the OL life again. Aww.. let's just forget about this at the moment, since my big day is coming! =D

Some snapshots of my home life.. =)

-Had 豆花油条 for lunch on Tues -

- Roti prata for breakfast this morning -

It's been so long since i last ate these. Yummy!!

Some weird but cute gifts from Poh poh which were bought from Taiwan.

P.S: They are all snacks okays.

In order to maintain my youthfulness, i definitely needa all these to help me!
Hehe.

And then again, it's STUDY time..

Finally!

2009-11-17T01:27:00.010+08:00

Yeesshhh~~ i'm on my another block leave that i have been longing for.. and back to blogging.. Finally..!

Had been so busy for the past two months that i didn't even have the time to go online. Everyday was just the monotonuos working life, attending lectures, studying and sleeping at home, exercising for some stress relief and some friends' gatherings.

Gonna really have a good rest during this hard-to-come-by break by: -
- being a good girl by tidying up my room which i haven't been touching up for months;
- a good student who is trying to catch up on her studies;
- a TV freak who is trying to finish watching as much dramas as possible
and last but not least
- to be a shoppaholic for these few days! All troubles to go away~ shoo!! =D

Most importantly, will try to update my blog as often as i can these 2 weeks! =)

As usual, photos speak a thousand words..

-September-
Celebrating birthdays of Zhi Wei, Di Wei and Chia Hsien.

-October-
Sheiley's Birthday
Baby Shervon (so cutee!!)

Anyway, just updated my blog's songs located on the right.
Do take a look at the MVs if you have the time.
I've spent quite some time finding all these.
They're currently some of the latest pop hits in Korea!

1. East of Eden OST - Red Bean (korean version - super nice!)
i've been listening to this same song since yesterday.. and this drama is definitely a must-watch!
2. Let's Break Up by Lee Seung Gi (he's really my type of guy.. hehe)
3. I Don't Care
4. Wanna
5. I Hope
6. Will you marry me? by Lee Seung Gi
7. Lachata
8. Muzik

I'm actually trying to arrange them in order of a story or something by reading all the lyrics.
Hmm.. sort of like the hard-dying love in Red Bean, then finally couldn't take it and broke off. Found someone better, chased after him/her, got married and thereafter some celebration songs. LOL. i know i kind of "bo liao" but indeed i'm doing this out of boredom! Haha.. and pardon me for being such a Korean craze freak!!

But i really love them! Saranghae!

Happy Birthday, my beloved Singapore!

2009-08-09T23:27:00.012+08:00

i'm happy that my country is celebrating its 44th birthday already! but actually i'm even happier that we can get to enjoy another long weekend again! hehe. Yeah! =D

Haven't been blogging for a couple of months again, sorry guys. Just don't have the mood to; or you can also say, i'm just plain lazy. =/

Visited Sentosa yesterday with MLXC friends, since Images of Singapore is opened to public for FREE! It's been almost 2 years since the last time i went there. Was quite surprised by the major changes (alright, you can call me a mountain turtle cos 'work-life balance' doesn't exist in my current life) and of course more excited about the completion of Universal Studio next year! Just can't wait for the upcoming roller coaster rides and stuff!

I finally went Bintan with my friends and cousins right after my bridging exams in June! I have always been looking forward to visit beautiful beaches that doesn't exist in Singapore. Initially we had plans to go Tioman due to great comments about its beauty. However, all plans just came to an end as i was really amazed to be the lucky one who got the ballot for my company's leased bungalow in Bintan! Hohoho~~ Enjoyed ourselves to the fullest during the 4 days trip without spending a single cent on accomodation and even tried activities that we have never done before.. snorkelling, horse-riding, driving ATV etc. Just one word to describe, FUN! Therefore, my next ideal beach destination will be Tioman for snorkelling and maybe some other sea-sports! =)

Aww.. just have a sudden urge to learn a third language for self-enrichment.. anybody interested to learn Korean language with me? Have been watching lots of Korean variety shows and dramas but just don't understand what they're talking about really upsets me. ANYBODY?

Some flashbacks.

Attended a friend's wedding some time in May.
Was so happy for her;
but come to think of it again, when will be my turn?

My dearest Ah Gong's 80th birthday celebration.

Cousins.

Bro and me.

And i can't live without them! heehee.

Was quite touched by the little surprises from colleagues.
Thank U!

Deeply appreciated.
You guys will be my source of motivation during work.
I'll definitely try to SMILE more. =D

这首歌一直不停的在我脑海里打转；仿佛在诉说着我此时此刻的心声。。

连你都会残忍隔绝
我的心能要谁了解
眼中烛光摇晃着熄灭
为何把我推向边缘
被砸坏了的一切
卡住了我让我无法往前
囚禁在距离笑声最远的房间
单独隔离
寂寞地盘旋
全世界都停了电
全世界都封了街
我所有窗子外面
被贴上黑夜
我呐喊思念
却没人听见
绝望到极点剩的是疲倦
全世界都停了电
全世界白雪满天
才发觉在我心间
有回忆碎片
一作梦翻身
就刺痛流血
我卷着身体缩成一个圈
像一个句点

It's Mayday!

Hey peeps, here i am back to blogging again; after like.. 3 months? wow.. that's fast. That's how time flies. Anyway, i'm here to update on some happenings during the past few months, if not someone's going to bug me again tomorrow! ohps.

Had been on a short trip to Malaysia last month and chalet for the previous. Not forgetting to annouce a good news that i've been enrolled by SIM - UOL! However, this also implies that my wealth has been cut by half not because of the current economic tsunami, but my own doings!

School for bridging has already started during April, feeling more and more lethargic as days passed. Everyday was just work and school even during weekends, for the past two consecutive weeks. I almost fainted when i first saw the course schedule when they tried to squeeze 13 lessons X 2 modules = 26 lessons in just 1 and half months! While struggling with the crazy A-maths and a different version of Economics, i'm still hoping that UNISIM will accept my application and i'll just withdraw from UOL. My intuition keeps telling me that i'll do better in UNISIM since i always need projects to pull up my marks. Memorising a whole year's notes isn't suitable for a dim-witted person like me. Haix.. just feel stupid whenever i stare at my Mathematics notes. =(

And i'm finally having a good rest (and sleep) at home during this long weekend! Though there was a lesson on Mayday, still cherish this short break so much! i desperately needa such a break since long time ago.

Well, back to some photo-viewing time! =D

Boss's Birthday Celebration.

MLXC Chalet.

Genting / Malacca Trip.

The best meal of the whole trip.

新年快乐！

2009-02-01T16:19:00.010+08:00

Yea.. it's time for CNY again! Was busy with all the spring cleaning, visiting and gatherings over the past few weeks, thus didn't really have time to blog. Hehe.

Well, i've always like CNY, not only because it's the chinese tradition; it's also the time when families are able to get together and have fun. Due to the hectic life people are leading nowadays, it seems that family gatherings are getting so hard to organise. Another reason for loving CNY is definitely same as what everyone are loving; hongbaos! yea! Finally can get to have some extra allowances other than my pay. =) The only drawback is that there are only 2 days for CNY this year, so not so much time for fun. Not able to gamble and win my cousins' money is sucha disppointment! haha. *Just to clarify, i'm definitely not a big-time gambler okays; it's just for the fun once a year. I believe most of you enjoy playing black-jacks, tai-di, mahjongs.. etc too right? =)

Enjoy this festive season!

-MLXC CNY Gathering-
@ Downtown New York New York.

Sinful mudpie; but it melts my heart.

Time for some workout!

p, i'm always the first counting from the lowest.

Headed off to Marina Barrage since no one felt like going home after bowling. Couldn't believe one of kor's tyres suddenly got puntured halfway in the middle of an 'wulu' road at 1 plus a.m.! Fortunately Sharon and me managed to stop a car and thanks to that bunch of helpful guys for their tools; the boys managed to change the tyres after ard half an hour of struggling and searching for spare tyres and toolset to get to know that our dear driver didn't even know there's such a thing (spare tyre) in his car (but without any tools)! Gosh, seriously an unforgettable night indeed. LOL.

In the baking mood..
Cornflakes cookies this year!

Satisfied. =D

And it's time to Lo Hei again! Huat ah! =)

it's 2009!

2009-01-03T22:37:00.022+08:00

It's the 3rd day of another brand new year, here i am coming up with my New Year's resolution.

#1: Save lots of $$.
#2: Register for the degree course that i've been longing for.
#3: Korea trip to reward myself during the end of the year!
Plus one back-up plan if the above should fail: Get a driving license!

Yupp, hopefully i'll be able to achieve all by end of 2009! =)

Last year's resolution didn't work out really well; only managed to get my braces done and the Japan trip. Probably i've been too greedy. Hee, so this year, i'll just have the 3 stated above.

And now, it's Photos time!

Moonlighting in one of the primary schools by selling school uniforms.
Sshh.. Promise me you won't tell my boss about this ok?

They're so cute!!

Happened to see this ad. What the??

Mom and me. Age is really catching up fast on her. =(

It's really been a long long time (at least 15 years?) since the last time i saw these kind of classic cakes!

I missed this milk so much. The best that i've ever drank.

And last but not least, New Year's Eve.
Had dinner at Ramen Santouka (火頭山).
The ramen they sell makes me feel like i'm back in Japan.
Oishi!

Delicious flavoured egg.
一人一半，感情不散。

Bud & me at Clarke Quay with our buddies for some countdown atmosphere.

To all my dear friends and peeps..
Really thanks for the consolations and concern.
Appreciated.
It seems like i'm becoming more and more pessimistic.
Oh no.
Anyway, i believe i'll be able to get over as days goes by.
Not forgetting that I'm quite a strong girl.
Thanks for all once again. =)

2008-12-16T23:50:00.004+08:00

好想放下却又不能的心情真的很复杂。

脑海的思绪好混乱。

但又有谁能谅解呢？

咳。。

真的快崩溃了。

难道被深深伤过一次的我又得要承受再一次的煎熬吗？

为什么我就不能像其他人一样。。

或许，这就是我的命运吧。

cos i'm too ordinary; not good enough for him.

yupp.

i don't deserve anybody's love.

眼泪笑了

2008-12-15T00:02:00.003+08:00

比想象中更痛
你真的没回头
我命令眼泪不许失控
回忆不跟你走
都挤在我心中
我就有责任让它值得被珍重
谢谢你曾让我难过
谢谢我没有想太多
当爱情左盼右顾的时候
我眼泪都笑了
谁还想哭呢
再勇敢地站着
找回光和热
面对你的时候
我不会舍不得
因为你已是过客
因为路有些曲折
是美的
心碎成了沙漠
就快开凿绿洲
我没有时间不知所措
你温柔的双手
本就不属于我
又何必在乎它以后属于谁呢
来不及完美的
就唱首离歌
想起你的时候
我不是卑微的
反而我没有遗憾
因为我已爱过你
深深的。。

"Take care"..
是代表着简单的祝福吗？

或许，就让一切先画上完美的句号吧。

Reminiscing..

2008-12-14T23:07:00.007+08:00

爱只剩下躯壳

为什么还不放逐却拉着

是我不敢信还是不舍

为何我还在固执的拔河

其实我真的很难过

只是难过都沦为沉默

可能我真的不懂得

让你更快乐

我想和你在你一起

却在你未来缺席

给你的爱

那些美丽

已长成蔓藤缠住我的生命

在你的未来缺席

像是一出剧本

未完待续

预留伏笔

把未完成从容继续

如果还有如果

就算瞬间老去毫不犹豫

爱是不是都一样

不论多漫长

终究剧终人散

可是我不想因为不敢

却不剧散

然后半途收场

如果还有如果

拥抱你不犹豫

能不能将你的样子都忘掉

舍不舍得爱让我控制不了

只想要把你要拥抱

其实爱上一个人没有解药

我的经脉留着爱陪你到老

原来我还会微笑

我真的想和你在一起

却在你未来缺席

在你的未来缺席

像是一出剧本未完待续

预留伏笔

把未完成从容继续

如果还有如果

就算瞬间老去毫不犹豫

i know i shouldn't, but it just can't be helped.
After so long, the familiar feeling is back again when we met.
Snaps of the past just kept flashing across my mind repetitively.
Ouch.

I was really surprised by the gifts bought from Taiwan.
Shouldn't be it but i'm quite touched.

Will this be our last meeting?
Let's leave it to fate then.

Indescribable.

2008-12-14T22:29:00.006+08:00

Hey peeps, I'm back finally! The trip to Japan was really a fruitful one as in regardless of food, cleanliness and courtesy, they never disappoint me at all!

What amazed me are as follows:
1) There is no rubbish bin along the streets in Japan. The most amazing thing is, you can't even find a single litter on the ground. So where does all the rubbish goes to? All the Japanese love their country so much that everyone is disciplined enough to bring their rubbish back home to throw. Wow!

2) You won't have a chance to hear a single honk from vehicles along the roads! All the drivers are courteous enough to give way to one another. Wow!

3) All food are just so delicious as Japanese chefs are perfectionists. Oishi!!

So, shouldn't Singapore set Japan as an example for improvements? If Singapore can be a second Japan in future, i would definitely feel proud to be its citizen! =)

Due to my laziness, kindly refer to facebook for the photos! haha.

And finally, my next ideal destination: Korea!

So.. gonna work hard and Save, SAve and SAVE! =D

the changing point.

2008-11-21T00:14:00.005+08:00

对这个世界如果你有太多的抱怨

跌倒了就不敢继续往前走

为什么人要这么的脆弱堕落

请你打开电视看看

多少人为生命在努力勇敢的走下去

我们是不是该知足

珍惜一切

就算没有拥有

还记得你说家是唯一的城堡

随着稻香河流继续奔跑

微微笑

小时候的梦我知道

不要哭让萤火虫带着你逃跑

乡间的歌谣永远的依靠

回家吧 回到最初的美好

不要这么容易就想放弃

就像我说的

追不到的梦想

换个梦不就得了

为自己的人生鲜艳上色

先把爱涂上喜欢的颜色笑一个吧

功成名就不是目的

让自己快乐快乐这才叫做意义

童年的纸飞机

现在终于飞回我手里

所谓的那快乐

赤脚在田里追蜻蜓追到累了

偷摘水果被蜜蜂给叮到怕了

谁在偷笑呢

我靠着稻草人吹着风唱着歌睡着了

哦哦

午后吉它在虫鸣中更清脆

哦哦

阳光洒在路上就不怕心碎

珍惜一切

就算没有拥有

还记得你说家是唯一的城堡

随着稻香河流继续奔跑

微微笑

小时候的梦我知道

不要哭让萤火虫带着你逃跑

乡间的歌谣永远的依靠

回家吧回到最初的美好

还记得你说家是唯一的城堡

随着稻香河流继续奔跑

微微笑

小时候的梦我知道

不要哭让萤火虫带着你逃跑

乡间的歌谣永远的依靠

回家吧回到最初的美好

*Smiles.

it's my Birthday again!

2008-11-20T23:39:00.021+08:00

My favourtie month of the year - it's November again! Oh my.. can't believe i'm turning 22 already! while i'm feeling as if i'm still 18. =P

Well, it's been almost a month since i last blogged. Didn't have the time and mood for blogging these days, due to the hectic work schedule and stuff. So, let's have some recap on the happenings during the previous weeks.

1st November: My dream finally came true! Lee Hom's concert that i've been looking forward to watch since secondary days. Smiles. And he's still looking so charming and talented; definitely worth calling him a Music-Man. =D

And my various birthday pre-celebrations. Really deeply appreciate everyone for turning up on the gatherings and remembering my birthday. Love ya lots! Thanks for all the wishes and presents too. =)

(Kindly refer to Facebook for photos!)

我的三个生日小愿望：
#1 我, 家人和身边的朋友们都可以身体健康，平安，快乐!
#2 当然是工作顺利，才可以赚$$。
#3 -这要保密咯。=)

Live Life!!

2008-10-27T22:07:00.014+08:00

yea.. depressions over. Have been giving some thoughts these days. Why should i be leading life this way? Just Live Life to the Fullest and troubles aside.

该来的最终还是会来的。

咬紧牙根忍一忍，一切都会过去。

就以笑带过吧。=)

Anyways, having a long weekend is really the way to go! Not only had my fullest sleep till noon everyday; i also got to spend more time with family for meals and shopping. Cheers.

Haven't been visiting the theaters for quite some time and finally managed to catch 3 movies at one go this month.
#1: Painted Skin is sucha disappointment! Draggy scenes with typical ending. Almost dozed off during the show. Got conned by the advertisements lah.
#2: Connected! is one of the most nerve-racking and exciting movies i've ever watched! As what others have commented, a value-for-money movie. Thumbs up! No wonder bud and me had to travel from Tampines (missed the afternoon show due to saturday duty) to Cineleisure (to get to know it's full house during our turn) and finally Shaw House just to buy the tickets counting 5 rows from the bottom. =(
#3: Managed to catch the last show of Mamma Mia on sat. It's the first musical show i've watched and find it quite interesting. Really love the songs they've sang. Thinking of buying the soundtrack. Anybody wants to sponsor me? Hehe.

Anyways, Big Thanks to xiang for accompanying me to watch the show though i could see that you've been yawning throughout. LOL. Which also includes the whole day of shopping with me from dhoby gaut to city hall to bugis just to look for the cap that i like. Though still didn't managed to get it, but at least i've bought a small pouch for my up-coming trip. Whew..

my snack lovies -kachang puteh!-

Yummilicious Saba set at Taka - Highly Recommended for Saba lovers!

Jelly taste-a-like Grapes. Two Big Thumbs Up!

Pasta for dinner yesterday. Helped mum with the cooking..

Preparing the gravy..

Tata!
Not pleasant-looking enough but definitely taste quite good! =)

And they fit perfectly! The wonders of photofunia!

Counting down 5 more days to Lee Hom's Music Man World Tour concert! =D

It relapses once again.

2008-10-18T23:06:00.007+08:00

Signs.. a call from boss today really made me feel depressed again. Have been trying hard to relieve all the stress i'm trying to cope by making myself busy during weekends; but i can't even stop thinking about it since the call just now.

Why?
Why is my life so miserable?
Why am i making myself so miserable?

I just couldn't understand.

Being a nice/helpful person is definitely not an easy role. 好人真的很难做。

Compliments are always never mine; only problems will definitely involve me.

And i'm always responsible for mistakes; or somehow it'll just be linked to me, and i'll just have to solve it and become my responsibility.

Signs.

Why is everyone adding pressure on me; whenever in work and home.

Or am i the one who is pressurizing myself too much; that i'm going to suffocate any sooner.

Signs.. the cruelty of this society.

I'm still struggling to survive and adapt.

When can i ever learn to protect myself?

No one can understand me; my feelings; my situation.
I'm breaking down.
Anytime.

Vexed.

2008-10-05T23:02:00.011+08:00

Nice traditional malay food from neighbours!

Yea.. that's how i spent Hari Raya Haji / Children's Day. Enjoyed food-hunting with bud at Upper Thomson. Will have more food-hunting around in time to come. =)

SHEILEY'S BELATED BDAY GATHERING.

-shagged bday girl-

-dreamy girl-

-love the waffles there!
but a lesson learnt: this definitely must be shared by two!

Aww.. so vexed. With so many things in mind now.

1st of all, should i apply for enrollment under UOL or RMIT next year?
... Should i go for Lee Hom's concert in Nov?
... Should i sign up for the facial package at $888?

As always, vitamin M is never enough; no matter how hard i tried to earn.

And japan trip is almost round the corner, i still needa save up.

Ohps, suddenly feel that i'm quite 梁菊花 alike. Hehe. As in having the same trying-to-work-hard-for-a-living kind of life.

Probably i've watched too much of it. Gee.

JIA YOU, HUIXIAN!! =)

Always take one step at a time.

2008-10-05T13:48:00.003+08:00

Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you've always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can't touch

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face and the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting
We live and we learn to take

One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen when it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

You believe and you doubt
You're confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you always wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face and the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting
We live and we learn to take

One step at a time
There's no need to rushIt's like learning to fly
Or falling in loveIt's gonna happen when it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

When you can't wait any longer
But there's no end in sight
When you need to find the strength
It's the faith that makes you stronger
The only way we get there
Is one step at a time

Take one step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen when it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen when it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
One step at a time

and it continues..

2008-10-01T22:48:00.011+08:00

AGNES'S BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION.

MY PRECIOUS 2-DAYS STUDENT LIFE.

-love the western stall there!-

AND HERE'S THE TALK OF THE TOWN - F1 RACE.

Wake me up when September ends.

2008-09-23T22:53:00.003+08:00

for the first time in my life.

2008-09-04T21:45:00.009+08:00

Can't believe i've just reprimanded a girl.

Can't believe my tolerance level has reached its limit.

Can't believe i actually failed to control my temper which i've already tried very hard to suppress.

Probably too harsh; yes, i might have been too fierce.

Kind-of guilty now.

Was planning to have a peaceful talk with her to find out the root-causes of her actions.

But i was fuming madly; too furious, that i couldn't express what i initally wanted to tell her.

Never knew things would turn out this way.

She has left me with no choice; was having high blood pressure for the past 3 days.

Having to work while listening to other's nasty remarks and untruth things; the feeling's just so terrible.

It's driving me crazy.

i've always been nice to her;
never got angry when she gave me weird nicknames;
never got angry when she passed unpleasant comments;
never got angry when she made mistakes.

Cos i thought we should have a good relationship; so i took them as jokes and never take it to heart before.

And I've always been trying my best to help when people need one.

But this time round, she has indeed went overboard.

Try to be in my shoes, how would you feel if people did the same thing to you?

How would you feel if others are passing remarks about you the whole day while you are busy and stressed up with work?

Perhaps i have certain faults too; but that should be communicated to me if you feel unhappy sometimes.

I'm not those petty and unreasonable person that you can't discuss with.

Whatever things i did, i meant well.

No sorts of sabotaging and stuff.

They never even crossed my mind before.

Signs; i'm such a failure.

No matter what, people just won't appreciate what i've done for them.

Let's hope tomorrow will be a better day.

Another Glooming Sunday.

2008-08-24T22:30:00.004+08:00

It's another rainy day again. Such a cooling day of course shouldn't be wasted. Thus, time was all well spent by having my beauty sleep the whole day. The weather's making me feel gloomy and tired though.

Met up with my pri sch buddies on friday's night. Really had so much fun taking tonnes of photos and chatting about the past and our childish acts. And of course, we didn't get to miss the annual fireworks festival cos it never disappoint me before. Fireworks are seriously too amazing! =D

And Saturday was a super tiring day. Had to wake up early for sat duty; afterwhich i had to rush down to yishun for my department's bowling event at Orchid Country Club. It was not very successful though, since only one person in my team turned up. Duh. Was even demoralizing when my team ended up to be the top 4th winner, only 1 point difference with 3rd team. If only i managed to do one more spare or strike.. =(

Catched up with bud at clarke quay after that. Had our dinner and shopping before we ran down (yes, we really did run hard) to Fullerton to watch the fireworks again. Korean style this time round; which was even better than the france one. Simply satisfied. =D

Japan trip has been confirmed and booked. Omg, didn't really make any mental preparation. Now that i've got to trouble over money again. Aww.. i seriously deprived of vitamin M! How how?

Rainy Sunday.

2008-08-18T00:18:00.005+08:00

It's another rainy sunday. Couldn't do much things, except for staying at home to rot. Had quite a good rest though. At least i'm recharged for another new long week to come.

And my act of sinful-ness are getting me to regret again. =(

* Manhattan Fish Market.
* Waraku
* Waffle Place

I just can't resist the temptation! How?

And i finally went to watch the Mummy with bud yesterday. Another one which did not disappoint me indeed. Got myself a swimsuit too. Planning to go swimming next month at the new Seng Kang swimming complex. Yeah. Exercising's cool! So is Michael Phelps! Lol. =)

And healthy lifestyle starts today!

2008-08-10T22:31:00.027+08:00

Yesterday was the last day that i'm eating my favourite food (and yes, all unhealthy ones).
I'm left with no choice; Gonna get my health back again before any problem starts popping up which i predict it'll be real soon if i don't start exercising now.

Can't believe i can actually put on so much weight within these 2 years. Terrible.
All thanks to my super nice boss who kept stuffing us with good food.

Don't wanna get high blood pressue.. high sugar level.. high cholestrol.. at such a young age. NOo..

So, i'm just gonna reject all her kind intentions from tomorrow onwards..
i'm deeply sorry, boss.

Went to the newly-open gym in seng kang with bud today. And body is aching all over now after all the jogging, pulling and stretching. I reckon i'll be having a real good deep sleep tonight though. Dead tired.

And 42 kg is the way to go!; hopefully in 3 months' time. Gambatte! - and that was my weight back in poly years then. =(

MY TREAT FOR FAMILY @ SWENSEN'S TO KIND-OF CELEBRATE NATIONAL DAY.

AND DEAR MR JUN XIANG WILL ONLY LOOK FOR ME WHEN HE HAS GOT NO DATE AND DOESN'T FEEL LIKE STAYING AT HOME.
HOW CAN THIS BE? LOL.
JUST KIDDING.
YOU CAN ALWAYS LOOK FOR ME AND I'LL SURE ENTERTAIN YOU IF I'M FREE, BOY.
(SUCH A GOOD SIS YEA? HAHA.)

- TEA TIME @ GELARE. SINFUL~

AND THE WAITER SURPRISED ME BY SAYING THAT THE CAPPUCCINO WAS NOT NICELY DONE AND REPLACED IT WITH THIS.

LUNCH AT YOSHINOYA AFTER GYM.
THIS WAS THE ONLY SET MEAL WHICH I FOUND IT TO BE THE MOST HEALTHY ONE AMONG ALL.
- AT LEAST IT WAS NOT FRIED.

A CUPPA AFTER THE MEAL WITH COUSIN AND BUD.

AND I'M BEGINNING TO LIKE HOT MOCHA INSTEAD.

Just finished watching Love Actually.
Was touched by some of the stories inside.
Overall, a good movie with quite impressive storylines and scenes. =)

the more we get together, the merrier we'll be.

2008-08-03T22:29:00.004+08:00

终于到了小学同学聚会part 1的那一天

虽然又再次只有六人赴约

但还是很开心能看到相隔十年不见的朋友

感觉上十年好像一转眼就过去了

time really flies man.

从幼稚的小孩变成熟的大人了

每个人的成长与变化

有点让我觉得好不可思议

没想到..

一向被视认为花心萝卜的男生

竟让会变得很专一

哈哈

还有聊到一些同学的人生经历

我相信都让每个人感触良多

真的好期待下次聚会的来临哦！=）

YUMMY ICE CREAM FROM HAAGEN DAZS.

Due to lack of exercises these days, i'm having serious leg cramps now just because of a fire drill on friday which made me climb down from 26th floor. Aww.. i'm seriously going to train my body again. This is not going to be the way if i were to conquer mountains in future. Tsk tsk.

and it's my favourite time of the week again.

2008-07-27T23:07:00.006+08:00

Friday was quite a nightmare for me with 5 staff down in my department. Made me feel so frustrated with work when the volume was freaking high and i couldn't meet up my friends on time. Kinda let down my polymates on eski bar when i decided to attend a friend's birthday celebration instead. Just too shagged to stay up late in the night for drinks after a long unlucky day at work. Sorry ya.. Will confirm definitely meet u all for the next gathering ok.. i promise.

Today's my room cleaning day again. Threw away quite a number of things cos i realised my room's piling up with more and more stuffs. With a spick and span room now, my mood's definitely smiling too~ Accompanied my family for some grocery shopping which i really enjoy doing, and thereafter cycling with bro and cousins again.

And weekends are always so short and sweet. Why can't we just have a four-days working week instead? =) - stop dreaming please. -

SLACKING AT STARBUCKS ON FRI'S NIGHT.
AND WHITE CHOCOLATE MOCHA AIN'T REALLY NICE AFTERALL.

YUPP. THIS WAS MY DINNER/SUPPER.

A CAKE FOR THE BIRTHDAY GIRL AS MY APOLOGY FOR BEING SUPER LATE.

AND CYCLING'S STILL ONE OF MY FAVOURITE FORM OF EXERCISE.

THEY REALLY LOOK LIKE REAL AIRCRAFTS, DON'T YOU AGREE?

AMAZING STUNTS.

it won't be soon before long.

2008-07-20T23:03:00.008+08:00

My precious weekend was spent with shopping, eating and exercising. Yupp, accompanied bud shopping for her convocation which is just round the corner. Walked from bugis to suntec city to marina square. And of course, i didn't go home empty-handed. Bought a sweet white dress for myself. =)

Went cycling with bro around the neighbourhood today. It's been ages since the last time i rode my bike. Just love the sun and the refreshed feeling after all the sweating.

CHOCOLATE DELITE CREPE ON FRI NIGHT.
SINFUL BUT REALLY TEMPTING!

HAPPENED TO PASS BY AND SAW THEM!

LIU LIYANG

AND LIN YOU JIA! OMG`

HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF MY FAVOURITE SINGERS.
ESPECIALLY HIS '我爱的人".
I ALWAYS THINK HE SANG BETTER THAN CHEN XIAO CHUN.

HAPPENED TO SEE FIREWORKS TOO!

Happy Birthday Ah Gong!

2008-07-13T22:56:00.008+08:00

yea.. it was definitely a memorable night of fun and laughter yesterday. Celebrated my beloved ah gong's 79th birthday at a restaurant in Downtown East. Got to chat with some of my aunties and cousins whom i seldom get to see; and not forgetting to play with those small little cousins of mine too. Smiles.

Ah gong has always been a man that i respect the most. I can never forget the days when he would bring me to the nearby provision shop and let me chose my favourite titbits and candies; or waiting for his return from a long tiring day of taxi driving, hugged his leg just to see him taking out my favourite pocky from his pocket. The care and concern he had showered me when i was babysitted by ah ma back then deeply touched my heart.

简单的一天

2008-07-05T23:31:00.007+08:00

简单的一天

没做什么事

原本打算做些运动

但下了一场雨

让我打消了念头

结果去了rivervale mall 一趟

开了UOB的户头

顺便逛了下超市

突如其来的兴致

买了包mango dessert powder 和一些食料

决定回家做芒果布丁！

这是我的第一次尝试

味道还不错

但觉得还有待进步

希望下次味道会更好！

=)

十年之久

2008-06-29T23:47:00.006+08:00

相隔十年不见的朋友

就在那个灿烂的星期六晚上

终于重逢了

虽然只有六人赴约

但那种莫名的感动

都深深烙印在每一个人的内心深处

小时候的记忆

反复像相片般

都一张张浮现在脑海里

那些快乐与美好

无忧无虑的时光

幼稚及可爱的我们

象征着珍贵的童年回忆

是让人无法忘怀的。

突然，

每个人都有了同感，

-- 我们都老了。

Shopping Spree.. Part 3

2008-06-25T20:49:00.004+08:00

Cityhall was the destination for our last shopping spree today. Ended up buying a dress and a yellow top which i've been searching for quite some time. Took a stroll to Bugis after that. And this marks the end of our shopping spree. Not going for any shopping for the next 3 months, yupp; i believe i'll be able to do it. Not forgetting that i still need to save money for my school fees..!

New York Cheese Cake for lunch today.
Have been cracking my head over what to eat everyday.

Think i'm falling sick soon.
Having a cold.
Feeling so awful now. =(

Shopping Spree.. Part 2

2008-06-24T22:33:00.009+08:00

Yesterday was quite a memorable day for me. Cos it was the day i put on my very first braces! Took around 1 hour to get it done. Aww.. and i'm having my hell now. Can't eat anything except baby food; can't sleep in the night cos it's just too painful. Help~~ Can anyone just 打晕我?

Luckily i had my brunch at Jalan Kayu before my dental appointment.

Banana prata and egg prata
Quite nice.. but a little too ex.
Cost me $5.50 for just 2 of them.

Went to watch Sex and the City today before bud and me had our shopping spree. Quite a good movie; it reflects the society and the mindset of the people towards relationships and marriage nowadays. i like one part best when Big knelt down and proposed to Carrie after few months of separation. That was true love; too touching that i almost teared.

A moment of thoughts: -

Though there are many out there who do not believe in love or marriage, i still feel that they'll come to realise the meaning of love and importance of marriage when they grow older. Many times people might fail, but it'll just denote a fresh start of another new beginning. For we only live once and life has to go on. Relationships are acts of romance and feelings; it is marriage that marks the test of true love, and true love are combinations of chemistry, faith and effort. Most guys may think marriage is a cemetery of freedom, but on another point of view, you're giving the most precious gift - a status and vow for the woman whom you love the most.

Anyway, these are just my opinions and views. You may or may not agree with me.

Went on for our spree in orchard straight after the movie. Didn't buy much things; just a cool cardigan and a bag. Think i'll just probably get another top tomorrow and be done with it. I'm not really a shoppaholic, believe me. Sports and exercising will be what i'm planning to do for the next couple of months. =)

The only food i can eat now.

And it's my favourite clam chowder from Soup Spoon. =D

The top that i hesitated for quite a while but didn't buy in the end.

Doesn't really suits me, don't you think so? - Say yes!

Just had this after my porridge dinner.

Durian Puffs. Yummilicious!

Luckily i managed to eat one slice of this before my braces.

It's uberly nice!

And here's my precious teeth.. Sobs..

会呼吸的痛

2008-06-22T15:57:00.020+08:00

A moment of thoughts: -

Sometimes i wonder,

Why can't i be like the others;
living life to the fullest.

i hate the life i'm leading now.

Why am i born like this;
inherit all the bad genes from my parents.

i just want a strawberry face, a pair of mesmerizing eyes, perfectly straight nose and spotless fair skin.

Why do i have to go through obstacles;
while others don't have to.

i hate being so unlucky.

Why can't i be smarter;
so that i won't have to study so hard.

i hate to see the results of my exams.

Why can't i have a uberly nice boyfriend like others;
instead of keep meeting those who treated me like a toy.

i just want a guy who'll put me in his first priority, dotes and cares for me. But it seems impossible; probably because i'm not worth doing those.

Why am i always being so emotional;
crying my heart out over nothing.

i hate to let people see the weak side of me. Thus i'll cry when nobody's aware i am.

Why?
WHy?
WHY?

Have been searching for answers,
And i'm beginning to realise,
It's just how you face reality.

Confidence is the way to..
being prettier,
getting smarter,
and overcoming obstacles.

Or is there any other answer?
Still trying to find.

One fact is,

I am born just the way i am.

Whether i'm tall or short, slim or fat, pretty or not so.

I don't mind people insulting me;
or saying crude words to me;
'cause i'll just smile back and treat them as a comment to improve myself.

To forgive and forget, that's what i've always believed in.

But i just can't tolerate people who accused me of doing something i didn't.

Have been playing this song the whole day today.

在东京铁塔

第一次眺望

看灯火模仿　

坠落的星光

我终於到达　

但却更悲伤

一个人完成　

我们的梦想

你总说　

时间还很多　

你可以等我

以前我不懂得　

未必明天　

就有以后

想念是会呼吸的痛　

它活在我身上所有角落

哼你爱的歌会痛　

看你的信会痛　

连沉默也痛

遗憾是会呼吸的痛　

它流在血液中来回滚动

后悔不贴心会痛　

恨不懂你会痛　

想见不能见最痛

没看你脸上　

张扬过哀伤

那是种多么　

寂寞的倔强

你拆了城墙　

让我去流浪

在原地等我　

把自己捆绑

你没说　

你也会软弱　

需要依赖我

我就装不晓得　

自由移动　

自我地过

我发誓不再说谎了　

多爱你就会抱你多紧的

我的微笑都假了　

灵魂像飘浮著　

你在就好了

我发誓不让你等候　

陪你做想做的无论什么

我越来越像贝壳　

怕心被人触碰　

你回来那就好了

能重来那就好了

8 more hours to go,
And it's all over.
'Cause today will be the last day i'm grieving over.
I promise.

And shopping spree continues.. Part 1

2008-06-21T22:30:00.012+08:00

Had mac's for breakfast this morning with my dear buddies. It's been quite some time since we gathered together and have a good chat already. Got to know that my another bud's dad is feeling unwell recently. Was quite stunned to see a skinny and weak uncle standing in front of me instead of a slightly plump uncle he used to be. Anyway, hope your dad will be fine. Signs. I'm kinda worried.

And we proceeded with our shopping spree in Tampines Mall after that. Just love going there lots cos i'll always get to buy something i like over there. Smiles. Well, just 2 tops i've got for today. Gonna save some money for more sprees during my 3 precious leave next week.

Lunch at Swensen's

It's called Sourdough 49er chicken. Sounds interesting isn't it?
Thought bread should be alright but it seemed that the buns were just too hard for me to chew; having 4 missing teeth. =(

Had these uberly nice eclairs yesterday from those friendly temp staff. =)

当世界

不知不觉的变了

有时候

我怀念以前的我

作的梦

虽然远远的

想象是

一种快乐

拥有了

同时也失去什么

而眷恋

原来会带来软弱

你让我再无力承受

心开始曲折

我不想舍得

不想懂得

是谁惹谁

言不由衷

It's all fated.

2008-06-15T23:41:00.003+08:00

Closed off from love
I didn’t need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass

But something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart melts into the ground
Found something true

My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding

Love

kinda miss you now.

Shopping Spree starts now.

2008-06-15T23:02:00.016+08:00

Shopping~!! That's a girl's favourite hobby. And yeap, i'm no exception; it's my favourite too! Had my shopping done at Vivocity with Grace today. Really had so much fun shopping and buying, relieving all the stress and forgetting my troubles.

No doubt my pocket did burn a big hole; cos i've bought: -
1 pair of office pants
1 office skirt
1 pair of checkered shorts (well, i'm a shorts girl. i LOVE shorts.)
1 pair of heels

And my shopping sprees to be continued..

=D

Had my another 2 teeth extracted yesterday. Well, same processes again. All the injections and stuff. Still that painful. So, i'm kind-of 'bo-gei' now. Boo. Can't eat much stuff. But hopefully i'll be able to slim down through this. =)

Lunch at Sushi Tei.

Vanilla ice cream with red bean inside. Recommended. It's very nice. =)

The top that i didn't get to buy.

Having some sips of this now before i'm off to bed. =D

Daddy's Day

2008-06-08T23:28:00.019+08:00

Painful weekend; it's definitely a nightmare. Had 2 of my precious teeth extracted after i went for an x-ray in the morning yesterday. It's been a couple of years since i last visited a dentist, not including last week's. Nerve-racking i should describe it. First, 2 injections were done to numb half of my face. I could barely talk and even swallow my saliva. Then 2 pills of painkillers were given to me. After confirming that i totally couldn't feel a thing, extractions were done. Aww.. and funny thing is, i didn't even realise my teeth had been plucked out until Dr chiong showed me. Duh.

Can't believe i still need to go through the same process again next week. NOo..

Met Jun Xiang for Mac's breakfast this morning to pass him his belated birthday-cum-farewell present. See, i do dote on you k. I've gotten you something that you want. LOL. Went for a hair-cut after biding farewell to our dear boy. Take care k. And so i sort of have a new hair style now. =D

And I, being the most filial daughter in the family, brought my dear parents and idiotic bro for a meal at 日本村 to kind-of celebrate Father's Day. 'Cause my dad had been hinting me that Father's Day is just near the corner almost everyday i got home. Duh. Couldn't take it.

I have always cherished kinship, family ties and friendship. Since i don't have much chances to have a meal with them everyday, i feel that there's a need to plan some family gatherings to strengthen the ties. Yupp. Same goes to my buddies and friends too! More gatherings please. =)

In lonely hours;
The tears devour.

Truly, madly, deeply.

I will be strong;
'cause I'm counting on;
A new beginning;
A reason for living;
A deeper meaning.

Yippee..

2008-06-05T00:02:00.018+08:00

Oo.. it's finally Friday again!! yeah.. And our dear Jun Xiang had his last day of work on wed which definitely made him overjoy. Had so many farewells and gifts this week cos everyone dotes on him so much.

Monday: Manager's dim sum treat
Tuesday: Pizza Hut treat from colleagues (which includes me as well)
Wednesday: Boss treat again at Han's

Such a fortunate boy huh. Haha. And this is all because this boy is just way too cheeky. Gonna miss him lots cos no one can help me do filing again! Bleahs.

Had dinners with him as well.. since we don't really have much chances to meet up for the next 2 years.

Ajisen Ramen on Tues.

Waraku on Wed. (such a precious treat from him - cos it's only the 2nd time ever since i got to know him for around.. 3 years plus?)

and this is really 大屋见小屋。
Guess which is mine?

Then again, when will it be my turn? Apparently i've chosen the wrong time to job-hop. =(

i
miss.
misses.
missed.

Recharged.

2008-06-01T22:27:00.021+08:00

Sleep, sleep and more sleep. That's how i spent my weekends. It's high time for me to get some beauty sleep before my skin starts to age and dark circles become more serious!

Don't wanna be like this. Haha.

Though it's super cute. =)

Just came back from Expo for Robinson's sale. And the reason for me to go all the way down is because of my dear bud. Must support her since she's working as a cashier there. Haha. But the truth is, i just wanted her to serve me as a customer. Bleahs.

Was on duty yesterday. Quite shagged cos month end's finally over. And i seriously hate month end. Just couldn't understand why customers like to place fixed deposits during the very last day of the month and not other days? Anyway, never knew the new office can be so spooky until i reached the office at 9am. No lights, not even a single soul in the whole level. Managed to pick up my courage to walk all the way from the east exit to the west exit just to switch on all the lights. Yeap. I switched on almost all the lightnings though i'm only one sitting right at a corner of the office. I really am an environmentalist. But it's just too scary, you see. Can't help it.

Pray hard that it wouldn't be my turn to be on duty during the 7th month. I'll definitely go crazy.

Had a dental appointment in the afternoon. Paid $1k for the initial payment of my braces. Aww.. i'm broke. BROKE. And the dentist commented that mine is quite a serious case and "it seems that there'll be lots of work to be done." *Faints* This will mean pain and more PAIN for the next coming months. In addition to that, I'd need to pluck 4 teeth before putting the braces. *Another faints*. Therefore, i'm just going to eat all my favourites like nobody's biz within this month before i can only consume soggy food like a baby. =(

Well, 爱美不是罪. Am i right? Girls just need to put in more effort before they get left on the shelves. It's a fact that people will tend to be more interested in appearance. Thinking that i'll have a set of nice teeth like those in advertisements really excites me. It's definitely worth it. At least i know i've done something that i won't regret for life.

My next target will be to learn driving. Hopefully my job-hopping will go smoothly and i'll be able to get my licence by end of this year! =D

Always on my mind.
It's just so hard to forget.

Work-phobia

2008-05-30T23:46:00.014+08:00

Duh.. i'm so sick of work.. i hate my job. i hate my job. i hate my job..!! When can i ever leave that boring and stressful department? arrghh.. it's tearing me apart from all the workload and OTs..

Lethargic.

I need a break again.
I wanna go tour again!

And it would be Bora Bora.

In my dreams. Cos it costs at least $10k to go there for a holiday!

Signs.

That's why it's in my dreams.

My Paradise.

BUT, i'll definitely be there someday.

I'll strive for it. =)

And i'm missing him again.

Silly me.

Monday Blues

2008-05-26T22:34:00.015+08:00

Shagged. That's all i can describe for today. And i seriously dislike Mondays.

Anyway, back to yesterday. Attended a relative's wedding whom i've only seen for not more than 5 times in my entire life. Forced myself to crawl out of my cozy nest at 10am to go for the tea ceremony; since mum had already informed us that there'd be no lunch at home. Thus, i might as well follow my parents to my relative's house for a lunch buffet. Haha. Managed to squeeze some time in the late afternoon to do a thorough clean-up for my room. Haven't been doing so ever since new year's one. Just too busy. Hehe.

I always have a habit of cleaning up my room whenever i feel unhappy. And it really does help lighten my mood a little seeing my room spick and span. I'll just feel so satisfied and refreshed after doing the chores. I know it's a weird habit, but i'm still considering whether to make it a routine for my room fortnightly -that's provided if i have the time. =)

Me with my idiotic cousin. Ok lahs. I don't deny that he's quite good-looking. Lol.

Department Gathering

2008-05-25T00:28:00.013+08:00

Today's the farewell gathering treat from Boss for Jun Xiang who's leaving our department very soon. Ah xiang, touched or not? Haha.. Well, the food at the restaurant are quite good, at least it's worth the money. So here's a recommendation if anyone's planning to have a buffet feast with friends or family! =)

And i believe i can never find a Boss like my current one ever again. She's really way too nice to her staff, always taking care of us and giving us treats. I might have resigned long along if not for the sake of her. Will feel quite bad if i were to leave that department soon. Signs. Caught in a dilemma.

Anyway, accompanied Xiang to buy his NS handphone later on. Window-shopped for a while in PS. Actually i was quite tempted to buy a nice shade which suits me well; but ended up decided not to until my redang trip is finalised.

My gastic pain is relapsing again.. arghh.. tummy hurts so much now.. =(

Duh.. should have eaten more. Seems that i didn't eat much.
But i'm on diet now! =(

My Buys for today.

And i didn't even know when i got this bruise. =(

I could feel the connection again when we met just now. Signs.
Why?

Lost in mind.

2008-05-23T22:49:00.010+08:00

I don't know what's wrong with me today. I just couldn't focus on my work, and i kept staring blankly in the air. Even my colleauges laughed at my expressions when they tried to talk to me. Cos I need to take like 5 seconds to absorb what they've said and answered them. Signs. I'm definitely a real blur sontong today.

Probably just feeling shagged; physically and mentally.

Anyway, i'm feeling quite high now cos it's finally Friday! Yeah! Weekends have always been what i've looked foward to during Mondays; somehow it becomes a motivation for me to survive throughout the week. I reckon everybody feels the same as me too right. Haha.

Well, it's still quite a console that i'll have a busy schedule this weekend. Smiles.

Btw, Indiana Jones is finally up in theatres! Yeah! Jones has always been one of my favourite movie characters ever since i watched the Temple of Doom when i was still a child. Anyone wanna watch this movie with me? =)

我不后悔我曾爱过

只是不能爱到最后　

短暂的幸福　

拥有就足够

只要舍得　

就会快乐　

会快乐

For No Reason.

2008-05-22T22:38:00.012+08:00

Way back into love?

Definitely not so soon.

Have been giving it some thoughts;

Think it's better off that i'd be single-strived for the moment.

Yes, i've decided.

Till i regain confidence; and be myself again.

For No Reason - by Joanna Wong

put on your shoes
people used to tell me
now they think it's like a style.
of some kind or something
how do I explain that
I just don't believe in
all this purposely
for the world's perception of me
this is only rubbish put eloquently
like all the gothic poetry
kids are writing
from the highschool scene
Hey let's start running
for no reason
let's start laughing
without any jokes
when did we need excuses,
to do what we do
I won't explain myself.
won't you agree that sounds nice
that's right
we can go out
watch a movie
climb out my window in the middle of the night
and when the world's asleep, we shall dance like mad, amusement only.
won't you agree that sounds nice
so you mean you just don't like wearing shoes
I've got sweaty feet
I think I've made my point
if you truly like it then
it won't mean a thing
if it's a trend or if it's banned
by the fasion police
All the things I do I don't do them for you
I'm not down to earth,
not planning to be
it's all hypocrisy

And oh.. i've been addicted to Joanna Wong's album lately. She really does sing well! =)

I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
Trapped in the past
I just can't seem to move on.

And i know.

2008-05-21T22:39:00.015+08:00

I know i'm not tall enough.
I know i'm not slim enough.
I know i'm not smart enough.
I know i'm not pretty enough.

Yes, i know; always knew.

But i always believe that having a kind heart is more important than anything else.

Yupp.

Nonetheless, i'm going to change myself for the better.

Yes, i know i can do it.

See the difference in me, in months' time. =)

And i finally realised what's causing me to be gaining weight.

(Adapted from CLEO Magazine)
1) Lack of sleep: When you don't get enough sleep, your body is under physiological stress. As a survival reflex, your body stores fat. Try to get at least 8 hours of sleep a night.

2) Your boss: Stress causes you to crave for carbs. - nodded vigorously. Why? It releases a calming brain chemical, serotonin. The next time deadlines are taking their toll on you, try breathing exercises instead.

In conclusion, i'll try to..
- change my sleeping habits; which is, to sleep before 12 am every night.
- avoid eating titbits during work; breathe deeply instead.

Another step nearer to my slim and fit body! =)

And i know we are just not fated for each other.

Goodbye, my love.

It's time.

2008-05-20T00:00:00.001+08:00

爱像一阵风

吹完它就走

这样的节奏

谁都无可奈何

没有你以后

我灵魂失控

黑云在降落

我被它拖着走

静静悄悄默默离开

陷入了危险边缘

我的世界已狂风暴雨

爱情来的太快就像龙卷风

离不开暴风圈来不及逃

我不能再想

我不能再想

我不我不我不能

爱情走的太快就像龙卷风

不能承受我已无处可躲

我不要再想

我不要再想

我不我不我不要再想你

爱情来的太快就像龙卷风

不知不觉

你已经离开我

不知不觉

我跟了这节奏

后知后觉

又过了一个秋

后知后觉

我该好好生活

A Simple Day

2008-05-19T23:26:00.019+08:00

Woke up at 1pm today, and this was because i didn't get much sleep last night. Went offline at 3am, but slept at probably 6am, i think. Signs. Just couldn't get to sleep.

Met bud for brunch at Tampines Mall. Shopped again as usual. I'm just going to start burning my this month's pay for GSS which is coming up very soon! Yeah! =) Bought 2 tank tops from Mango, and a Puma bag which i really like alot. Maybe you can call it 'love at first sight'. Lol.

Went to the temple in the evening. And then here i am back blogging again.

This is what i had for brunch. Lontong! It's been ages since i last ate this. And it still tastes so delicious.

` - 遇见你是最美丽的意外

但我等的人他在多远的未来

it shouldn't be; but.

2008-05-19T01:13:00.004+08:00

如果你不再出现

我的世界

还有什么可贵

可惜不够时间

让我们试验

什么叫永远

想念变成怀念

心动变成心碎

偏偏还会关切

你最后属于谁

我的天空今天有点灰

我的心是个落叶的季节

我不知道如何度过今夜

所有的灯

早已经全都熄灭

如果你从没出现

我会不会

觉得快乐一些

可惜残忍时间

总要把诺言一点点摧毁

Tiring Day.

2008-05-19T00:04:00.013+08:00

MLXC finally had another gathering again; and it's a Farewell Gathering for our dear Jun Xiang who's going NS soon. Everything had gone smoothly according to my plans, and everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves today, i suppose. Three cheers! =)

Had lunch at Yuki Yaki.

Pastime.

K-ing At Night.

Just Satisfaction. =)

Oh. Suddenly recalled that last year of tonight was the night that i met with a car accident with Aaron. Oh my. Time really flies. Still missed those times though. But definitely not that accident. It was quite a nightmare. =X

-- And my tagboard is finally up. Still need some comments on losing weight, peeps. Hehe.

It's been a week since we last contacted each other.
And I'm right here; still waiting. For you.

One of the songs my friend sang today. Find it quite meaningful.

爱爱爱爱了几回

也明白其中滋味

爱情里好人总比坏人狼狈

我却还是学不会

狠心对谁

男人男人

多希望你是好人

多希望用你的真

让我不必再心疼

女人女人

我答应做个好人

我答应用我一生

来换你的快乐一生

Sing, Sang, Sung. That's how i spent my day today. Haven't been meeting up with bud for more than a month. Really missed her soo much. Lol. Went k-box this morning. Had breakfast at Mac's before we sang our throats out. And k-ing really helps me to relieve and forget my troubles. At least for that period of time.

我写了这首歌　
是一首简单的
不复杂也不难唱的那一种歌
这不是　那种　
只剩下那钢琴的歌
也不是　那种　
不能只是朋友的歌
这不是　那种　
两个人的故事写在一本小说　
那小说里有谁会在花田里犯的错
这就是　
一首写给你听的一个 Love Song　
一直想写一首 Love Song　
你给了我一首 Love Song
那DJ会播放　
这也许会上榜　
不过我只想写出一首 Love Song　
一直想写一首 Love Song　
你给了我一首 Love Song
你就像那夏天的凉风　
吹过我的面孔　
真想飞　
在我心底　
你就是　
我第一名　
想说爱你

如果你是一幅画　
你会是最珍贵的一幅画　
如果那画家是梵高的话
有何贵人前来有钱花　
个个向你求嫁　
梵高他说
你们都该回家
如果你是Melody　
就是最动听　
所有的人都会跟着一起唱
就算在夜晚　
你的星太亮　
让我忘了月亮代表我的

The song you sent me.
Does it mean anything?

` My heart still skips a beat whenever i heard this song though.

Probably it's just misinterpretation.
I don't know. Can't understand.

Time goes by; so slowly.. too slowly.

Just irreplaceable.

Well well, these 3 days are the best days i ever had since i started my current job. It seems that the market is really quite bad nowadays, as there are basically not much unit trust trades per day. So, this will also mean that i was able to knock off at 6pm! Hooray! Hopefully there'll be more training to come. Hehe. =)

Just met my ex-colleague for dinner today. Had Ajisen ramen. Shopped as usual. Bought a dress that i loved so much and a nice top. Lalala~~

Arrgh. think i'm seriously putting on weight. And it's getting worse each day. Oh my. This won't do. I really need to think of some ways to get back my slim and fit body i used to have!

Here are some ideas i'm planning to execute without further ado: -
1) No rice/high-in-carbo food after 8.30pm
2) Sit-ups/push-ups/basic excerises for at least 15 mins each time, 3 times a week
3) 1/2 hr Hula-hooping each time, twice per week

Will these help me to lose some weight? Comments please.
Thanks!

P/S: It's high time i need to get a decent boyfriend. Haha. But definitely not desperate.

Irreplaceable; For no reason.
Deep inside i know, it begins to mend.

And you're the best mistake i've ever made.
-- However, i swear i won't repeat the same mistake ever again.

'Cause friends don't act like a couple.
I'm perhaps too insignificant to you; i know.

My favourite Crayfish Ramen and soft shell crab. Yummilicious! ^^

Cherish-es

2008-05-16T00:10:00.003+08:00

Always cherish your loved ones, 'cause you'll never know what will happen next.

This is for my peoples
Who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby Your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye
No, no, no

Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers
Friends and cousins
This is for my peoples
Who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky
Cause we will never say bye

As a child there were them times
I didn't get it
But you kept me in line
I didn't know why
You didn't show up sometimes
On Sunday mornings and I missed you
But I'm glad we talked through

All them grown folk things
Separation brings
You never let me know it You never let it show
Because you loved me and obviously
There's so much more left to say
If you were with me today
Face to face

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on
I wish I could talk to you for a while
Miss you but I try not to cry
As time goes by

And it's true that you've
Reached a better place
Still I'd give the world to see your face
And be right here next to you
But it's like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say

Bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye

You never got a chance to see
How good I've done
And you never got to
See me back at number one
I wish that you were here
To celebrate together I wish that we could
Spend the holidays together

I remember when you used to
Tuck me in at night
With the teddy bear you gave me
That I held so tight
I thought you were so strong
You'd make it through whatever
It's so hard to accept the fact
You're gone forever

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on
I wish I could talk to you for a while
Miss you but I try not to cry
As time goes by

And it's true that you've
Reached a better place
Still I'd give the world to see your face
And be right here next to you
But it's like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say

Bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye

This is for my peoples
Who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby Your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye

Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers
Friends and cousins
This is for my peoples
Who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky
Cause we will never say bye, bye.

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on
I wish I could talk to you for a while
Miss you but I try not to cry
As time goes by
And it's true that you've
Reached a better place
Still I'd give the world to see your face
And be right here next to you
But it's like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say

Bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye

I've been addicted to listening Class 95 fm (Love Songs - Deepest Secrets) session these days. Yaz definitely has a voice as smooth as a banana milkshake! Oh my, how i wish i have that kind of voice too.. Anyway, it made me realise how fortunate i am, as there are much more people out there who have been through the toughest; though my wounds never fail to relapse.

Shouldn't have started in the first place.
Yes, it shouldn't.

I can never forget those hugs from you;
The kisses that night;
The meals together;
The dates we had.

And those were the days; Our working days.

All i need is just time.

Perhaps, it'll end here;
Fate has definitely played a prank on us.

-- It's better to have been loved, then never to have loved before.

Is it really over?

I don't know.

我爱着谁

爱到我有点醉

告诉我你是谁

能够把我让我变不对

你不会累

但我却爱你爱得好累

从没有为了谁

不顾安危付出一切

站在这平衡点

我还是觉得有点危险

或许是看不见

只能够靠感觉

他不会是个好男人

也不会是个好情人

你对我说我们只是擦肩而过

好的男人有那么多 -- i don't really agree in this

少了他的日子也能过

我不会再让你寂寞

也不会让你更难过

你听我说要好好学着去生活

就算未来有多少错

至少还有我的问候

我的温柔陪你度过

你听我说

你不要这么做

你不要看着我

说你已经知道怎么做

你很难受

我愿意陪你一起承受

只要你不怕痛

再多坎坷我都陪你走

I know that you may not be the right one for me.

Somehow, i can still feel a connection within us; just like you do.

And I think i'm beginning to miss you.

When will we meet again?

` Arrghh. The sight of the Myanmar victims and the Chinese really makes my heart sink. So many innocent lives have been taken away, and it's so especially for the school children who got buried alive due to the sudden 7.8 earthquake. Let's try to play our part and do as much as we can to save them peeps, it's just too devastating.

Money-ism to be?

2008-05-13T22:30:00.018+08:00

Money is not enough.. Always not enough.. Never been enough. Argh.. I really hate it when i need to get troubled over money. Since life is so short and we should live as happily as possible. But signs.. Here i am troubling over my finances again. And why is it so?
Scroll down for more details: -

Plans for my 2008
1) Braces ($4,000)
2) Redang Island (approx. $600)
3) Japan Trip (approx. $3,000)
4) Learn driving (approx. $1,500)
5) Partial school fees for my uni next year - hopefully (at least $5,000)

Oh my.. it seems utterly impossible even to think about it man! How can i ever save that much? Even if i save and scrub, it still looks quite unattainable.

Mum's allowance: $400
Insurance: $270
Transport: $80
Meals: $120
Bills: $100
Total fixed expenses per month: $970!

This will mean that i'll still need to save up at least $900 a month. But given my current pay, it's definitely a no no..!! Definitely not going to work. =(

Signs..

我猜我是中了箭

2008-05-13T22:14:00.009+08:00

他恨下雨天

他酷爱古典乐

他沉默寡言

他时常逛书店

那一天他讲了

丘比特常失手

爱情太危险

他跟我约好了

让彼此自由一点

我开始想念

和他的每一天

聊了一整夜

说自己的从前

忽然在心理面

我隐约有一种

痛的感觉

也许是我

被他命中了

我心中的缺

我猜我是中了箭

在遇上他的第七天

那一瞬间我有些晕眩

像全世界从此被偷走时间

我中了爱情的箭

很痛但是心很甜

我躲不开也不想避免

他没发现却在我身上应验

我中了一箭

Start afresh

2008-05-12T00:09:00.022+08:00

Hi peeps. It's really been donkey years since my last blog. Don't wish to reminisce the past. Therefore, due to 'high' demand from my dear friends, here i am creating a fresh new blog. Happy? Say yeah!! lol.

Anyway, yesterday was my department shifting day. We are shifting to OCBC main building finally!! After plenty months of planning and discussions. Well, the new office does have a magnificent view which i agree, but things are not as good as it seems. Life will be getting tough for us in future i suppose. I'd rather choose to live in "kampong" than "condominium" for god's sake if there's a choice! We want our Freedom back! Not only is there a long list of absurd house rules, it also means i can't be late for work anymore and formal wear is definitely a must! Examples of those rules are:
1) Staff pass must always be worn at all times.
2) Food is prohibited in the office.
3) Unnecessary stuff (such as stuff toys) are not allowed to put on the desk.
– No.. i'm not going to give a damn for this. i need my toys to work!
4) and many more.. =X

Rushed off unwillingly to Changi Safra Chalet together with colleagues during the late afternoon. And yes, it's unwillingly, cos nobody feels like going. No doubt that the place is far and inconvenient, the main reason was because we really don't feel like going. Ended up playing bowling there. And yes, you could have guessed it right. I'm the winner counting from the bottom. =(

Have been feeling quite troubled over some personal stuff lately. Met him just now. Waited him for 1 hour plus as usual. But what really pissed me off is when he told me he already had dinner and will only be accompanying me. I thought we were supposed to go for dinner together? Duh.. However, after some reflections, i feel that maybe i shouldn't have looked so pissed off in front of him. I should have anticipated that he'll be late again, as always. So, 2 mistakes made today.
Lessons learnt:
1) Never be prompt for any dates with him =S
2) Always read messages carefully.

Don't really know whether it's because my imaginations are running wild or things are just simple as that. Probably i've been thinking too much. Or my feelings might be right, just that he doesn't want to show? Argghh.. it's driving me crazy.. crazy.. Let's not think about it anymore. Leave it to fate then.

Signs..

My desk.. =)
