in the mood for some photo-sharing.. was browsing thru my photos and realise i haven been sharing since erm.. my bday?? i think so... brought back many memories that keep me stronger in the midst of my recovery.... one by one... im sharing some of my favs... in chronological order...

Started with a day out at ECP with FTB. celebrated xmas on boxing day and we had gift exchange... the gals were wonderful cuz many of us prepared sweetsn chocolates for everyone.. hehe.. and wonderfully wrapped up.. love Marai's precious moments cuz precious is my precious.. of cuz the rest were as nice too just tat im biased.. hehe

We had some games by the beach and forefeit is to run around these massage stones in 1 minute BAREFOOT haha.. im not spared and so are the rest in the pic.. took a memorable pic with the stones.. c'mon not many youngsters can take it lor walking barefooted.. sebast was the worst la, super unhealthy. It's time pal.. u can make it if u wanna do it! we are all behind u!

And we exchanged our gifts.. haha.. usuing the EY Random we knew who to buy for.. Creative Eng Orh and Darling la.. thought of using EY Random.. haha

Kelvin bought for me, i bought for YY and YY bought for Kelvin.. it's a loop circle.. haha so conincidental..



This is the lovely tigger that Kelv bought with another lovely card holder too.. have become my purse oso.. hah.. really like this baby classic tigger alot cuz it's so soft! And i noticed the meticulous side of Kelv, he even took the effort to decorate the pressie with reindeer sticker and even bought a card.. i was stunned cuz it's so unexpected from a guy la!


And this is Sebast's pressie from Maria. Wanted to overcome his fear over watermelon but still we failed.. haha

Borrowed his watermelon and now im the watermelon girl.. taken rather cadidly.. thanks marc for giving me the title hor.. now some colleagues called me that.. not too bad a name afterall..



Mouse took this while he is blading and we are cycling.. nice shot! G!


A group shot outside Safra. Still my wallpaper after so long cuz it shows the sporty and united side of us


Cooling mango ice cream after cycling.. maybe i should b ice cream seller next time

Had dinner at Wu Zhao Pai Seafood Restaurant (a.k.a. No Signboard) Sumptuous dinner to pamper us for that night haha..

This cereal prawn is super good!!! Cereals were crispy and so fragrant! Prawns were very fresh, big and juicy at the head. Couldnt get enough of it.

The crabs were simply deeeleecious! Worth the money to order the crabs cuz this plate is considered small/medium but it is very big as compared to the normal sri lanka crabs we see in market. Imagine if we had ordered large crabs?? we may have difficulty finishing them. This was just nice for 7 of us! Rem we order 2/3 plates of buns to dip the curry gravy.. *drooling*


Parting pic at No Signboard...

... just when we thought we can hardly meet anymore during the peak, we still try to meet up.. one of them is at...


Located at Heeren, small and natural air-con. Had a long time ordering the drinks and the waitress was very patient with us explaining the drinks and introducing us.. deserved a GEM card next time if i visit Balcony again


Some drinks we ordered.. cant rem le.. only rem one tats called Japanese Slippers that Eng Orh ordered.. not too bad


Always cant rem wat i drank but it wasnt awful

Congrats to Kelv to make it to 2nd round of TQ. Though didnt manage to go further due to fierce competition, u did ya best and it wasnt too bad just tat competitors were stronger. Well, a least u r the best in FTB


Then came V-day! hehe... lovely white roses from Dar i still haven got my answer leh - does 16 mean anything?

This bouquet caused quite a big trouble in office that day. Anyway it's over, shall not brood over it. The most beautiful bouquet i received all these years.. and the most lasting so far.. it lasted for more than a wk while the past ones only managed to survive max of 5 days. Thanks Dar for remembering my fav




Pic of the moon on tat day

it was VT's last day with us and we went KTV together with dar* team haha..

Probably my last pic with Mr Ryan cuz he's leaving for greener pasture soon! All e best to ya! Have been a great team mate and so helpful and playful also.


My beloved VT Wensi, she is very smart, hardworking, initiative, cheerful and helpful. Always so on with work and realise she's a JJ fan.. haha tot she's the potato-kind but big no no.


currently under the spell of medicine... holy medicine giving me all the drowsiness tat made me floating whole day and the medicine seems to make me even weaker. tats the reason y i disliked seeing a doctor cuz i feel worst taking the medicine than if im not. However, it's been 3 wks la.. so i had better start seeing a doctor before i cough my lungs out.

But the compensating factor is that the doctor i went to is very good looking.. haha.. okok that explains y i started floating.. tats besides the point. A good week for me to rest before the possibility of me flying to beijing.. now it's either me or mouse who will be flying cuz resources is need for other jobs that are starting soon. well, have hoped that me n mouse will be able to have fun in beijing together but now it's up to us to decide who is to go... shheeesshhh really difficult to decide. shall wait for him to come back tmr then we discuss. tough choice!

AND a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my beloved gf Miao, my dear cousin Eunice, dear pal Marc and Yanru! Hope u guys enjoyed this special day

was reading thur blogs and came across ting ting's blog and saw this link that mention the tell-tale signs of a woman liking a man. girls nowadays can be as proactive as guys. asked myself if i ever dropped those signs before and the answer is : i dunno.. hah.. cuz everything came naturally.. perhaps the bidy-language signs are the abstract ones that one can hardly realise herself revealing them. it's up to the guys to decide whether they are accurate tests

Does she want to date you?

Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too - even when you're in the dark. Even when you're falling.

perhaps it's time the real sand shud be back in action.. have been suppressing myself for the past 3 mths and feels unnatural when dealing with ppl.. it's time for the bubbly, vivacious Sand to return.. make way n make waves!! muahaha

rather overwhelmed by what happened today, seems to have blown out of proportion, did my part to stay balance, but the decision still lies with the authority..

it's sad to see them go but all the best to them n may they be happy with the path chosen


im a sotong, im a pig..
sotong + pig = so-pig..
eventually im still a pig


Every time u point a finger, there will be three more pointing back


the mind fears what it cannot see...
uncertainty is the word

the house seems exceptionally dark and quiet...
kept all lights on to keep me company

being utterly moodless now... blogging for the second time in an hour... ARGGGHHHHH.. im so sian!!!! dun feel like doing work today.. tho i have the closing meeting agenda to type today.. im in no position to write this lor... only managed to understand the issues for sections i did..clueless about other sections la... arent the reviewer in a better position to do this?????? spare me!!! but im just a slave for the work.. instructions come i take .. do my best and she will update... BUT im not in the mood to work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrr... it's sat.. what can i do??? im bored im sian im feeling bad.. Sand does not feel sunny today... forseeing myself to continue blogging for the rest of the day if i continue to stay home.. :(


again im faced with a cross road waiting for me to decide a turn, left, right, or centre im lost. Im very very lost... it's so sudden... should i fly to Beijing anot? gonna take place in 10 days time and be 1 mth period and i have no idea whether i can leave my mum here alone for 1 mth. tats the greatest worry tho some other minor ones are like it's tat Beijing job, it sucks big time.. jobs are nvr easy especially with this industry but having to face the pressure of worrying the family and deal with the stress in a foreign land.. sigh.. luckily im still given a choice but it's not nice to reject a job at my level ... it's a good exposure and get to learn things in various ways, emotionally and technically... grrr... so many factors to take into account.. if only i have been put in the job as part of the plan i wouldnt have been stuck here.. the fact that im given a choice stirs me up.. ?????????????


so proud of you - congrats in making into the dean's list finally! reallie very proud of you but didnt have the mood to congrat you today. being temperamental again.. sorry for that

turned out to be better than i expected.. dun quite understand my fears.. perhaps i have phobia of meeting people with seniority.. it takes time for me to get familiar with people.. time is the best solution!

was shot this qn today - what do u see yourself doing 5 years down the road?
good qn tat i have been escaping... i wish to settle down with my beloved love one and be satisfied with a career i enjoy.. beats me where i'll be.. so many things remain uncertain and i can hardly say a firm yes to going overseas with my current situation.. life is all about searchin' your soul .. vonda shepherd is back! Searchin' my soul tonight...

I've been down this road walkin' the line
That's painted by pride
And I have made mistakes in my life
That I just can't hide
Oh I believe I am ready for what love has to bring
Got myself together, now I'm ready to sing

I've been searchin' my soul tonight
I know there's so much more to life
Now I know I can shine a light
To find my way back home
One by one, the chains around me unwind
Every day now I feel that I can leave those years behind

Oh I've been thinking of you for a long time
There's a side of my life where
I've been blind and so...I
've been searchin' my soul tonight
I know there's so much more to life
Now I know I can shine a light


dun quite figure out why some ppl like to bitch so much. well subject matter is not regarding me but still dun quite agree with how ppl can badmouth, tease and made fun behind others' back. to a certain extent, gossipping and bitching brings bonding but too much of everything harms. in this case, it harms your own reputation and indirectly harming the others. who knows if what u said is the fact or not, only the person in subject can answer this. No matter what, always try to see things from various angle, think things from different perspective. Never judge a book by its cover. On the other hand, too much speculations made life tedious as its tiring to think too much. All in all, just be yourself. sincerity can be felt.. a strong mentality i harbour.. it's as good as saying the person on the other side of the phone can tell if you are smiling at the other end.. . every little gesture tells all, every tone counts in bridging or drifting the difference.. just be the natural you to make others feel different
