Charms and Jon!! We met! Hah! It was great meeting Charms and Jon for dinner and a nice lil sweet dessert. Alvina was suppose to join us, but she had a sudden crisis, so can't. But nevertheless, it was still great to meet Charms and Jon. Heheh.. it's just so nice to know we dont have that awkward silence, it was as if we just met each other last week. Heh!
We talked about how we miss melbourne, what we miss of melbourne, about work, what we doing, talked about the things that happened in Melbourne, talked about relationships, and loads of teasing. Heh! Jon was as usual the joker, and the one who's so CHOOSY!! Was suppose to eat at this Rabbit Brand abalone and sharkfin noodles in Lucky plaza, but our dear JON found the place TOO CHEENA and claimed he couldn't EAT MOST OF THE FOOD on the menu, so Charms and I decided to follow our choosy one to somewhere else to eat. Jon couldn;t decide, but we headed to Paragon to see what we can find to eat. Eventually Jon decided to settle for Thai Express. Actually in his mind, he just wanted to have his Sweet Pleasures from Bakerz Inn, which we moved on after Thai Express. Ha! but most unfortunate for him... they ran out of sweet pleasure, jon settled for boring Oreo Cheesecake, how original!
As for Charms.. WOW! Miss Wee lost so much weight!! 6kg!!!!!! She's looking so good.. so so good! Jon and I were like... WOW when we saw her. I should make her as my inspiration. I must start gng for exercise classes la. heheh. So nice to meet Charms. :) heh..
We have agreed that we should ask each other to watch movies, so maybe that'll be our next outing.. hmm maybe Coach Carter??? Not sure, will have to arrange the other outing soon.
I like today. Fairly stress free at work and finally meeting up with good friends! lalalal....!
My long weekend. It was a rather enjoyable weekend. Firstly I finally get to wake up at 12pm on friday afternoon. Such is luxury! I had a nice and easy friday, no rush of work to bother me. So glad no one from office bugged me. Ha! Anyway, friday night, i set off to Malacca with my other church mates for the RCIA facilitators retreat. My bus driver to Malacca is one hell of a driver! He's super fast, i think he thinks he's racing in F1. Fairly skilled i must say.
Malacca was not bad, the last time i went there was when i was sec 3 for the ED camp. The retreat was not too bad, a lil dry but then again it was fun too with all the sharing, there are just some individuals who are born clowns. Hah... there's one guy who's the Mark Lee of the class. He's not very angmoh, but he's so comfortable with it and his humour is really something. Anyway... he's just one of the many who made the retreat fun.
Besides the retreat, the other thing that was fun and enjoyable was the cheap food. Ha! the Wanton mee was superb, so was the chendol. Yummmm.....!!! Heh.. wanted to try the chicken rice ball, but there was no time. Oh well... another time. Returned to Singapore last night, and i was so glad i had this morning off, I needed the sleep before i headed to a long week of work. So much to do!!! yucks!
Anyways.... i guess the next hols will be labour day, that's next weekend, so another long weekend. Heh! shiok!
I have a Catus Farm! Yep and it's from Kevin. Ha! What a surprise!?! I was at work yesterday and suddenly my colleagues were shouting my name and i was like huh? and suddenly a delivery man appeared holding a huge catus decorative bowl and it was for me! My colleagues started guessing who's it from and what's it for. I knew the reason, it was our 50th month anniversary (4 yrs 2 months). Some thought it was my birthday, some thought kevin and i had an argument the night before and this is a way to apologise to me, some thought it was the day to mark our first day we met or first time we kissed. Ha! it was rather hilarious and embaressing too. Everyone started to come over and look at the plant, and my next door colleague started to give all those cat calls and my other colleague started to promote me and the plant. Ha!! One colleague even said the catus represent a thorny relationship or that it can be use as a violent object and throw at somebody. The decorative bowl is called "Catus Farm" and it's seating at the common table of my work area. It's rather impossible to carry it home coz it's super heavy, so for the moment it'll be in the office for admiration first.
I must say it was rather sweet, another alternative from flowers, at least it's more long lasting than flowers. Ha!
Okie... so that was the highlight of yesterday.
Today.. is yet another happy day.. it's my day off! hahah! I worked over the weekend and thus am eligible to get off-in-lieu, so i took today and monday morning off. How nice! So nice to sleep in today and wake up at 12pm knowing i dont have to go work! ahahha! How cool life is now. Later in the evening i'll be heading to Malacca for the weekend. It's a church retreat, so it's gng to be holy and relaxing. I dont think i'll shop alot there but maybe eat alot la. Die... more weight to put on! shessh!
Oh one good news.... Qantas is having a 70th anniversary special deals and flying to melbourne is $762.00 return till 31st August. Looks like i'll be able to go over, but it really still all depends if i'll be doing the August event that my co is organising. So cross fingers! The lower fare deal means more money to shop!!! hahaha Chapel Street seems more possible to shop now. Ha!
Alright... i am in a rather good mood. Havent sufficient rest really helps!
I wanna travel!! Singapore is too boring! Yep.. and too expensive! I feel like i need to shop, change my wardrobe entirely. Doesn't help that i put on weight when i was in Australia and cannot fit into anything that was left in my sg wardrobe when i returned. Depressing as it is... i need to change my wardrobe!!!
Aint too busy at work now, so took some time surfing the various budget airlines. Calculated and figured that with just $600 budget I can live comfortably in bangkok for 4-5 days, including airfare, food. a good hotel accomodation and of coz SHOPPING!!!! I'm like makin a list of wat to buy.. let's see:
berms (it's in again!)
sandles and shoes
jeans
handbags
tees or sleeveless tops
dresses
pants
skirts (minis or A line)
Caps
ACCESSORIES!!
Hahah.. yes.. basically everything. Unfortunately, I can't take leave, coz it's no pay leave and i'm trying to save for the melbourne trip (though still not sure if im still gng over, but ye.. i'm still trying to save on it)
Hai... what i pay for melbourne trip can make me live like a queen somewhere else already. oh well!
There once was a Lady. Even though the lady was not Rich, she was not Poor either. And even though she was beset by the small Nuisances of everyday life, she was Content enough.But the lady could not help feeling that there was something Missing.There was a hollowness, an Emptiness in her that needed to be Filled.She knew that out there, Somewhere, was something that could Change her life completely. Make her Whole.Give her Meaning.Perhaps a Man ...a Journey ...a spiritual Awakening ...a holy and mysterious Calling ...and then she saw the Beautiful Shoes and she knew that they were all she needed."Come to us, lady," said the shoes, "and we will make you Beautiful too.""We alone can make you blossom and flourish into a glorious and whole and Complete human being.""But you are so Expensive," said the lady. "I cannot possibly afford you.""Look at our beautiful Straps," said the shoes. "Look at our wonderful Shiny leather. Look at the turn of our heels and the shape of our toes."Do you think we should be cheaper? Do you think everyone should be able to Afford the happiness, the pleasure, the Ecstasy that we can offer?""You are right," said the lady. "I am sorry that I ever doubted you. Please Forgive me."So the lady gave the shopkeeper All the Money she had and she walked away with the Beautiful shoes.When the lady got home, she tried on the shoes. Instantly, they began to Pinch and Hurt the lady's feet terribly."Oh, shoes," said the lady. "I thought you would bring me Ecstasy, but all I can feel is Pain!""Oh, lady," said the shoes, "the pain we Give you is simply to remind you of our Presence. Do you not want it to be constantly in your mind that we are here on your feet, making you Wonderful, making you Glorious, causing you to shine and to Dazzle?""You are right again," said the lady. "Thank you, shoes."That evening, the lady wore the Beautiful shoes to a cocktail party.Despite the Agony and the terrible price of the shoes, the lady knew that she felt better than any man or journey or holy and Mysterious calling could possibly ever make her feel.For the first time in her life, the lady felt Complete. And the lady knew what she had Instinctively known all along. That sometimes, only Glorious Shoes can Save you.
THE END
Ladies... let's go buy those shoes we've been eyeing all the time!!!
I'm bitchy! I came to realise I can be quite a bitch. I can actually dislike someone before i even know her. All i know is i know who she is, where she from, how she looks.. and that's it! I already dislike her.
I feel sorry for her to have someone like me dislike her. I hardly dislike pple.
I guess she just has to be associated with someone i know very very well, and that's enough to make me feel this way.
The best part of this bitching is that no one will know who i'm talking abt! hahah shiok! Maybe just one person might have the slightest idea why i dislike this girl, provided the person is smart and conscious enough.
Maybe the girl is a nice person.. maybe she's super friendly.. but at the moment i dont care. Maybe when i finally see her i would have a change of impression of her. But for now, I'll just enjoy disliking someone who doesn't even know that i dislike her!
Reality and the world around you. If only i was still a child... how beautiful life would be. How happy people would be. How peaceful one's mind can get. How one does not worry at all.
In all honesty, I really hate becoming an adult. Yep this might sound really senseless, but i hate becoming an adult. I hate the fact that there are certain things that no matter what will forever burden you. I feel the emotional strain that i feel i shouldnt be having. I feel it's causing me a huge emotional stain. I wonder what happened to the happy and carefree person i shld to be. I wonder why smiling has become so difficult now. I wonder why issit that my personality has changed so drastically over the years.
I see myself as the anti-social than the socialable. I see myself as the person who doesnt talk much compared to the past where i'll just talk about anything and everything. I shld to be happy, but now.. happiness seems far fetched. I wonder why the obstacles in life is piling up so fast and so much. I wonder why life can be such a contradict. I wonder why the world seems to be changing so differently as it was years back. I wonder why do people need to grow old wondering about so many things.
I'm seeing so many changes around me: lifestyle, relationships, feelings, mindset, faith, religion, values, morals, principles...etc
I dont like what i'm gng through now... i hate it and i hate myself falling prey to such unnecessary feelings and emotions. I rather not have such things bothering me. I really do...
Furthermore, I feel i need to move on in life. I wish i can just do that but i can't..... i dont think i can do it.. at least not now. I dunno... i feel i need a change in life, a change in mentality, a change in lifestyle, a change in attitudes, a change in personality, a change for the better.
I think i have alot of feelings and thoughts that i can't really decipher or comprehend. I can't quite find the right person to tell too as well. I never really had the luck to find a good listening ear who actually truly understands how i feel or why im feeling what i am feeling and provide sound advice. I think I've been listening to others too long, that i feel my turn has come but i have no one to turn too.
I feel being too independent sometimes sucks... everyone shld have someone to fall back on coz no one is superman. When the heart breaks and fall... who is there to lift u up?
Correct, there is a GOD who will lift all our pains away, but i'm waiting for him to send me that someone. I feel distraught and confused. I think people change too fast and often...
oh well.... like i said... i hate being an adult. I hate being me now.
