just reached home and i feel so nua nua nua.. utter shag out out out ... dun feel like doin e usual stuffs every time i reach home - i guess partly bcuz there's no one at home today to nag and rush me and talk to me such that im enjoying e quietness at home.. haha

have been thinking of e various choices laid ahead of me but as usual i have no idea where to begin and what to choose and why im choosing what i want.. can be utterly sucky at making choices and decisions (which is why i seldom do well for MCQs.. ok.. no link!! again!!) how often can i choose what i really want .. wants n likes are complete different thing to begin with, and following e heart dun work all e time.. listening to Corrinne Mae Save Me and find it so apt... faced with so many constraints and complications, i fear making choices, i fear hurting people, i fear making e wrong move and bla bla bla... well at least when matters get sensitive n subjective i need a lead, someone who can direct me n support me.. perhaps this is called meeting the saviour (gui4 ren2) in life

so glad i can take a breather tmr...but shall b on a mission to finish e unfinished task

Cheers!!

Bored Bored Bored!!!!!!! Boring Sunday spent at home doing nothing!!! just wad is the event today, y is everyone busy and having plans!!! y y y!!! wan to go shopping n no one is free, either not free, or is family day, if not will have other plans.. alternatively can shop alone but it's weekend cum school holidays.. e streets will sure be flooded by human crowd.. instead of having to wait at long Qs all alone and get squashed i rather stay home and read my notes for tmr work.. it's my first time staying at home in dunno how many donkey months.. yesh!! i know i am guai for one but im nearly killed by boredom if not for e narrow escape courtesy of Internet and a book called The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.. Save me!! one way is to visit lalaland now... zzzzzzzz


12:49 AM

was struggling with Derivative Identifier tool form and it's disgustingly undigestable until Same Side of The Moon by Corrinne May slowly edge into my ears... this song nvr fail to soothe all anxiety and soothes the night since i came to know abt this song few wks ago... listening to this song always makes me picture myself lying on a vast land looking up at e sky filled with lovely stars that lit a smile on me while watching them.. limited empty land in spore that is good for star gazing though the best will probably b by e seaside... life has been so hectic that we can hardly find time to enjoy their beauty and the serenity of e night.. the stars have gone hiding tonight after their mass appearance late last nite...

Same Side of the Moon

I'm looking out the window
Where we sat to watch the stars
There's a chill within the air
It makes my heart long for your touch
You may be miles away But as I kneel to pray

I see the same side of the moon
That we'll be looking on when the world turns blue
And know that time and space can't come between me and you
We share the same side of the moon
And though you'll never see all the tears shine through
I know I can't be that far from you
If we're both looking on the same side of the moon

I picture you across the ocean
In your corner of the world
I pray the wind will blow my voice
And gently whisper in your ear
Your night may be my day
And though the seasons change

It's still the same side of the moon
That we'll be looking on when the world turns blue
And know that time and space can't come between me and you
We share the same side of the moon
And though you'll never see all the tears shine through
I know I can't be that far from you
If we're both looking on the same side of the moon
I know I can't be that far from you
If we're both looking on the same side of the moon

4am and im still up.. just returned home from outing... it was abss 22 outing at the boat house but reached there only at 6plus cuz was helping Parrot with her work and it was such a big production line set up to help her.. and total strength was 6 haa... well many hands helped if there was neat plan laid and indeed things worked out smoothly .. think she will need to leave office at 12 midnight if she was left to mingle with e files... anyway.. as usual ipo team is there to drink drink and more drinking.. horrible .. gulped down a glass of red with an empty stomach shheesshhh it's terrible cuz felt giddy after tat but after a while mind return to normal state :)

and went settler's cafe after tat haha long time no visit there ... played Pit but it wasnt as fun as i played with HnF guys and we changed game every 5minutes haha.. high turnover but it was fun.. seriously we do not look n behave e least like auditors, the waiters were alittle stunned when we said we are from kp haa alrite tat was meant to b a joke.. kp-ers dun feel offended k.. hee.. ok we played Hotels and tat was e game tat lasted us till e night and i did find it a very monopoly-similar game in fact it's much simpler than monopoly and dun really find it so challenging or exciting but it was e company that makes e difference cuz there were so many jokes and mouse was so high haaa created so much farnie things.. Do rem that it's never difficult to create fun out of a simple life.. alot depends on fate and appreciating e ppl ard u is e way to go

OH and i must recommend Durian Ice Kachang at Lau Pat Sat is superbly good, tasty and durian-rich!!!! sshheesshhh i just burped with e durian smell.. hhaaa.. it was a scoop of durian ice cream and durian paste on e ice kachang it smells strong to drive durian-haters away .. with e colourful sago round e ice.. looks G and taste G haha .. on hind sight i may not be able to finish e ice kachang if im not eating with a grp, food always taste better when someone else is sharing haha.. not sure how valid is this logic of mine.. grrr durian crave is back nvm i can ren3!!!

gg slp then laze ard at home... once in a purple moon manx.. lol .. enjoying 1st sat without any tuition .. cool

Weather hasnt been too friendly to me. The sun had gone hiding and wept heavily over e past few days. Poor me have to suffer from e heavy downpour.. no no.. not heavy but constant.. ok blame me for being a useless n lazy pig who always avoid bringing a brolly.. will always try ways n means to avoid e rain n find shelter.. worst come to worst walk in e rain lor which is why im in such state now...

stomach was releasing fluid 2 days ago n now fluid is flowing from e nose free of charge.. refuse to see doc cuz medicine sux unless e doc is sure dashing haha.. true enough i still dunno how to take care of myself depsite having lead a life for 22yrs.. perhaps im just stubborn or just e kid in me who seeks concern when im sick.. whatever i just dun wan to take mc esp when there's so much work lining up.

but i went to a clinic earlier this evening.. to take flu vaccine, getting ready for my china trip in e wks to come. such a wasted trip.. im upset over e fact tat e nurse made me wasted a trip to yio chu kang.. called earlier to check if i can take e vaccine whenim down with flu and she gave such a firm answer so i thought i will finally get my vaccine after so long wait.. but e doc told me it's not advisable to do so.. grrr.. not mad.. but just upset y some ppl just dun wan to spare a thought for others and took e extra one step to walk to e doc and ask if it's advisable for me to take e jab. it's just one step from e counter to e consultation room! shall accept tat each individual is different. 6 sneezes have passed since i started blogging this entry .. tmr is TPE i betta dun get puffy eyes and sneeze in front of e partner

ending off with e 7th har chew~~~

seems like my internal system is joining all the existing casualties, namely my comp n my hp.. for god knows wad reason diarrhea is haunting me tonight and it pains!!! Ouch!!! almost rolled on e floor like a snowball (so apt since it's a cold day today and i was shivering like nobody's business)
i was told before that when u have diarrhea, think back what u ate 8hrs ago and goodness i was a junkie la - chicken masala dosa n prata for lunch, brownies at 2plus in e afternoon n peanut butter honey toast at 530pm... so 8hrs ago i shud be having brownies and yes they do resemble some output but e brownies are from Po***, the rband could be trusted ma.. dun wish to speculate just hope that the pain will go away SOON!!!

throat is also one of the casualties.. sigh.. all bcuz of e junkies i have taken lately it's time the retribution came tumbling at me. Desperately in need of starfruit juices, honey water, lemon juice or any liang teh cuz i wanna enjoy e free buffet dinner this coming fri.. pain at e throat dun help in losing weight (cuz u tend to eat less) but only make u feel even painful cuz there's so much forbidden food out there.. but like i care??? haha.. at least i do care to rest early... at least in these few nights :)

why are all my belongings taking turns to fail on me??? my comp has been failing me for e past 2 months and it's getting on my nerves. changed a hard disk and now e usb port is giving me problem just bcuz it is not a high speed one!!! maddening.. is the world evolving too fast or my comp failed to upgrade with the times??? or perhaps it's a sign of getting a laptop for myself.. *a VAIO lappy will be great for xmas* *slaps Sand* wake up my idea* tat was one thing..

and my hp found its way into e toilet bowl last last wk!!! n now e battery is running out like nobody's biz!!! n i have to charge it in office e whole day to make it last if not it will jsut die on me within half a day. tats if i charge it in office.weekend is gone case manx, out e whole day and there it goes, i even have to off e phone to store battery. not that it helps alot but still i shall not grumble too much...

is it time to make provision for obsolescene for these 2 dearest gadgets or should i write off instead??? write off will require a new additions and where m i gg to find funds for these additions??? how abt some central bank borrowings or interest-free loans some Lim Family institution??? WHATEVER!!! i dunno wad to do next.. but i do know my wish list is getting longer *winks*

Earring Making session @ Maria's Hse

It was eventful weekend spent at Ms Maria's hse. Oh no no... first it was Just Like Heaven then Maria Hse. Just Like Heaven was nice. Funny n sweet. As usual ya, love story, wad can u expect except for a Happyily-Ever-After ending. Such ending does soothe e heart at times though they are cliche. Anyway HArry POtter shall be e next on list! Yoo hoo... sneaks on 16th... seems attractive but i guess most tickets are alrdy snapped up... But then it's exam period mayb should try my luck.. haha

On to e earring making session that's e latest interest for this weekend!!!!
Millions of credits to Maria for teachin us though we can be quite wols la.. The twisting of loop is e most crucial step n yet e toughest to master. It's always e case anyway - e easiest accomplished is nvr important. found some designs earlier in e week and luckily we have these ready designs n Maria's display designs or else our brains can crack cuz we r newbies and had no idea how elaborate or simple to make. Finally some products r out after er like close to 3hrs... cuz not enuff tools n sharing takes time. Could feel e pain for Maria when she made a pair for me cuz deciding on e design n colour combination, twisting e wire n adjusting e length of earring means great length of efforts to be put in n takes alot of patience i think. Though she is ro-ded n made my pair in 1 hr, still think it's not ez. Hugz n Kisses to lovely Maria *muack*



Half of this pair is a demo n i completed e other half. Took great pain to make e length equal. Not ez ar


Tat's my achievement!!! So proud of it though Teacher did some touching up :( Im still not a good student afterall


Parrot's accomplishment. She's good manx, made 3 pairs on tat day, this pair n 2 more while e rest of us were playing mahjong. Think she reallie enjoyed it.
Kudos to u, Eng Orh!



YY's success! As a guy he learnt faster than we gals, shame on us manx. Haa.. a fast-learner. like e chain part n e combination of pearls with crystals. But there wasnt enough chain to go ard so i pass. Thought it was quite nice till...


... a sweeter one comes along from Darling. Colour combi is slightly different, this is so much sweeter n girl-like. I like both pairs cuz they give different feeling. So both r nice. In fact everyone's products are fantastic!!! 3 cheers for all of us!!!

Had mahjong till 2am .. zzz.. consecutive late nights.. almost draining.. guess i wont have much time to drain energy on weekends in dec cuz leavingon a jet plane soon. Still awaiting for e final confirmation on e details tho e sketch is out. Mixed feelings abt e trip n i have absolute no idea wad awaits me in e foreign land n wads lined up for me after i came back. Expecting alot of changes in work n personal life but i shall not speculate or anticipate. Life is full of surprises that keeps our momentum going. I am confused by so many things n i can't fathom why. Mayb i should not think so much. Mayb i should be true to myself. Hmmm... shall stick to surprises.

A careless word may kindle strife,
A cruel word may wreck a life
A timely word may level stress,
A loving word may heal & bless.

and how can i forget e lovely pair of earrings tat Ms Maria made for me!! so ungrateful of me.. but still not too late to serve redemption.. hehe



PLs note that this is a pair tat Ms Maria hand made them and i was e first among all e rest to get it.. hee.. burdae gal has priviledge i guess. So touched by her efforts and i heard tat she stayed up till 1am to make this. Hugz n Kisses to lovely maria~!

ok this year received alot of purple gifts.. all of a sudden everyone tot i love purple.. but hmmm... tat wasnt reallie e case.. colour preference differs according to e situation and wad item was it. but purple on e whole is quite sweet so i dun detest it... and my fav colour.. orange is more consistent, yellow oso.. n white (mainly for clothes.. haha)
