it's been a looong time since i last blog. had been busy... with work, with meeting up with frens. bascially always out of the house. my house is becoming a hotel... haha... so fast v day coming liao.. tht i would be sian over it since i am single this yr. but then i realised i felt nothing much.. it should be another busy day for me at work as usual.

Watched 'Fun with Dick and Jane' and 'Syriana'. The latter was kinda political and too dry to my taste. almost slept in the cinema. but 'Fun with Dick and Jane' was real funny.. laughed non stop from the start to the end.

ok, i'm feeling tired... gotto sleep... bye.

Then after discussing with my frens, they recommend, sony ericcson k750i and nokia n70. both are about the same price.. so aftr some thoughts, i finally decided to get n70 since my fren is using it and i find quite interesting after he lent me his to try out. so yeah!! new year, new handphone!!

可惜不是你 ~ 梁静茹

2006-01-15T15:47:00.000+08:00

came across this song mtv when reading ying's blog. the first time i heard it, i like it. though it's kinda sad but the tune is rather smoothing. thanks ying for introducing this song to me! :)

可惜不是你 ~ 梁静茹

这一刻突然觉得好熟悉
像昨天今天同时在放映
我这句语气原来好像你
不就是我们爱过的证据

差一点骗了自己骗了你
爱与被爱不一定成正比
我知道被疼是一种运气
但我无法完全交出自己

努力为你改变
却变不了预留的伏线
以为在你身边那也算永远
仿佛还是昨天可是昨天
已非常遥远
但闭上双眼我还看得见

可惜不是你陪我到最後
曾一起走却走失那路口
感谢那是你牵过我的手
还能感受那温柔

那一段我们曾心贴著心
我想我更有权力关心你
可能你已走进别人风景
多希望也有星光的投影

努力为你改变
却变不了预留的伏线
以为在你身边那也算永远
仿佛还是昨天可是昨天
已非常遥远
但闭上双眼我还看得见

可惜不是你陪我到最後
曾一起走却走失那路口
感谢那是你牵过我的手
还能感受那温柔

可惜不是你陪我到最後
曾一起走却走失那路口
感谢那是你牵过我的手
还能感受那温柔
感谢那是你牵过我的手
还能温暖我胸口

New eating places

2006-01-10T01:10:00.000+08:00

Met up with Ming, J and YH for dinner at marina square. The moment we stepped in, the centre stage was very crowded. So we kapo, walked in nearer to take a look.. ooo.. It was SHE having autograph session for their new album.. wah.. The queue was damn long.. all the way to the outside. anyway, we took a peek and decided to head for dinner since we were all hungry. we had dinner at Imperial Treasure La Mian Xiao Long Bao. It was my first visit to this restaurant, the first impression that i had was it reminded me of crystal jade. Tried the la mian with fried pork ribs, not bad.. the pork ribs was tender and crispy. The noodle was nice as well with alot of spring onions.. Their services were pretty good.. even though we had settled our bills and were chit chatting away.. the lady saw that some of us had ran out of drink and i was feeling cold, she poured a couple of glasses of warm water for us... very attentive instead! *thumbs up!*

When we came out after dinner, SHE were still there.. the queue never seemed to shorten.. still alot of teenage boys and girls waiting for them to sign on the albums. Saw a couple of happy faces who got their autographs.

Then we decide changed place to have a drink and catch up on each other. initially wanna to go to Andersen for ice cream but there was no table for us.. so we walked around and came around this restaurant with nice sofa couch called Changing Appetites. The drinks were not bad,.... they have quite a varities. I ordered strawberry sunrise, it's strawberry with orange.. quite nice. we tht of coming back to try their man course some day. saw the next table ordered a bowl of ice-cream.. was really a big bowl like those fish bowl which used to keep fishes. we order some fries and it was served in zheng long.. rather interesting... haha...

so sorry no photos to share coz i have yet to get my camera.. hmmm. think i hav to get a camera by march so that when i go malacca and new zealand.. i can take pictures... :)

Empty Shopping

2006-01-08T00:36:00.000+08:00

went out to shop with GH jus now despite having alot of work undone... but it's sat night! i jus dun wish to stay at home to burn my weekend like that.. haha... nevertheless, after shopping for abt 3hrs, i came hime empty handed. :( saw 2 belts that i like at southhaven, quite expensive. One cost $25; the other $29... can't decided on which to buy. hence din buy any. hmmm... nevermind, can always go back next week since i will be going for facial... hehe...

Few words of encouragement helps a long way....

2006-01-06T18:44:00.000+08:00

haven't been blogging for quite days... been real busy.. working from 630am to 7pm everyday or even overnight! wah... wonder how i take it.. but then i can't seem to clear my pile of work... jialat... think gonna burn the weekends working... but then i feel like going shopping and ktv. how how...?? anyone free to go out??

din received any sms for the yesterday..suddenly the hp seems kinda extra. think it has been very long that i experience such days without any sms. i like receiving sms, to me, it's a way to show that the sender thought of u, hence send u a sms... the situation today improved slightly, haha... got a chinese sms from R. but what cheered me up was ying's quotation 'True Love is worth waiting for.' from 爱的掌门人 and post it on her blog for me... am so touched! it's definately encouraging and comforting to know that ur friends around you make an effort to show that they care by doing something simple. :)

Being followed...

2006-01-02T00:44:00.000+08:00

My friend A n i went to provision shop last night around 11pm to check out some if there are any sparkles for sale for the new year countdown. so H sent the group of us there on her company pickup but the rest of them decided to stay in the car in the carpark while A n i went to pick up the stuff. Then on the way there, there was a bangala who walked very close to me.. so i pushed A to the left to let him passed but then what surprised me was that i saw the guy again on our way back n he was walking very close to us again... *shocked* Then when we quicked our steps, he also quicked his steps. when we slowed down our paces, he too slowed down.. Then we quicken our steps to join a group of people walking from the bus stop to the car park.. he din gave up.. he still followed us from a distance.. i think he was eyeing for my wallet or hp since i was carrying them on my hands. so to avoid him from a snatch n run, i moved my hands to the front with my wallet n hp. we quicken our steps n reached H's pickup safely n quickly drive off... wat an eventful day!

Bye bye

2006-01-01T23:03:00.000+08:00

My first r/s of 3 years ended within minutes on the last day of 2005. i tried not to cry but my tears jus can't seem to be obedient. yes, i'm upset.. sad that the efforts n feelings that i put in all these 3 yrs jus ended like that with disappointments. so no matter how nice or good u treat a person, it can't guarantee that the person's feelings dun change. haiz.. but i should not be expecting any returns right?

it was bright n sunny but it started to rain after he n i broke off.... i was thinking of singing tao zi's 'tian kong bu yao wei wo dao yen lei' (sky dun cry a tear for me)... anyway, he n i last parted at the bus stop. I asked for a last hug n thanked him for these 3 years in a broken voice. i tried to control. but then moment i turned ard, tears simply rolled down... as i am typing these, i seems to lose the ability of controling my tear ducts as well... haiz.. my mum jus scolded me for crying.. can't i even grief for the end of my r/s?? i also dun wan to cry....i jus can't seems to help it.

A r/s simply hurts too much when it come to an end. especially if u are the party who is still in love. it's like a stab in the heart.... n u are bleeding n dying slowly... well, i dunno if the other party will be upset too.. maybe he will.. but due to what reasons... loss? guilts? i dunno know. i jus know i'm upset because i did love him... to the extend that i choose a harder way to end things. because i feel that since a r/s can start beautifully, it shouldn't end in fights or screams. i dun wan to hate him, even though i know hating him would make getting over easier. but then i dun wan to fill myself with any hates. i chose to use whatever feelings i had left for him to forgive n hopefully change it to a friendship eventually. i hope he will be happier after this since he said he was tired of the whole episode. i wish him well, hopefully he can found his directions in life and stay safe on the road. take care n good bye....

What Surrounds You

2005-12-29T16:08:00.000+08:00

Did you ever walk into a public washroom that smelt so bad that you wanted to choke? But you were so desperate to go to the bathroom you had to carry on.

Did you notice something?
By the time you left five minutes later, it didn't smell quite so bad!

And what if you had accidentally locked yourself in there for an hour?
You might be saying, "What smell?"

There's a principle operating here. We get used to our environment!

Living with miserable people, and you become miserable - and you think it's normal!

Working with critical people, and you become critical - and you think it's normal.

If your friends tell lies, it worries you - in the beginning.
Eventually you get used to people telling lis.
Hang out with them long enough and you'll tell some yourself!

Mix with happy and moltivated people, and you become happy and moltivated - and you think that is normal.

If your family is negative and miserable, then you need to find some bright, happy friends. Somewhere in your life, you need positive company or the pessimists will drag you down - and you won't even know it is happening.

IN A NUTSHELL
We are all affected - and infected - by the people and attitudes around us.

Sometimes we need to take action - or change the company we keep - while we can still notice: "Something smells around here!"

~'Happiness Now' by Andrew Matthews

santaless xmas...

2005-12-27T00:18:00.000+08:00

no wrapped gifts waiting for me to open up this year... ;( but nevermind.. it's not the first time anyway... haha.. i also din wrap any presents for anyone.. guess as i get older, i become lazier... din really feel the festive mood this year. maybe because i was busy with work and occupied with other thoughts. since i was back from bangkok, i was buried by work... pile n pile of work waiting for me. never seems to clear... haha.. imagine me partying with my SOWs at 2am on x'mas day after coming back from dinner. wat a life!! oh ya.. do i hav one anyway??

Thoughts to share

2005-12-22T00:36:00.000+08:00

saw the following statements posted by one of the podder in the forum... felt that what she said was really true especially the last part...

'i know how it feels like.. to make a decision which will hurt urself alot..for a long long time.. though it may not be ur 1st choice - to end this relationship. remember.. when u left him tat day, u lost a guy who do not love u.. but for him, he lost a girl who love him so much.. in the end.. u didnt lose anythin..but he did.'

Back from Bangkok

2005-12-21T02:38:00.000+08:00

i'm back from bangkok - my first airborne experience... rather exciting.. haha. though the plane of both Tiger Air and Jetstar were rather small. it was a shopping trip, hence we did not visit much places of interest except the popular bazzars and shopping centres. Even though i went for 4 days, it was not enough to shop.. still have alot of things that i didn't managed to get.

The Thai food was delicious even though the ways the Thais handled it was not very hygenics. The portion of their food was very small. hardly filled my stomach. but they were cheap. 1 bottle of coca-cola only coz 10 baht, that was like less than 50 cents. The traffic and air pollution were quite horrible but the taxi fare was very cheap. Their meters were so slow. Most of the things there were cheap. shall update again regarding my purchases...

<我不难过>

2005-12-16T23:37:00.000+08:00

heard this song yesterday.... kind of reflected some feelings. hmm.. should i go see yanzi's concert?

<我不难过> - 孙燕姿

又站在你家的门口，我们重复沉默，
这样子单方面的守候，还能多久?
终于你开口向我诉说她有多温柔，
虽然你还握着我的手，但我已不在你心中...

我真的懂，你不是喜新厌旧，
是我没有陪在你身边当你寂寞时候。
别再看着我说着你爱过，别太伤痛，
我不难过，这不算什么，
只是为什么眼泪会流我也不懂，
就让我走... 让我开始享受自由，
回忆很多，你的影子也会充满我生活...
我并不懦弱你比谁都懂，
虽然寂寞，这会是我最后的宽容...

抱紧我，再抱紧我，
这一份感动请你让我留在胸口，
别再说，是你的错...
爱到了尽头是非对错，就让它随风，
忘了所有，过得比你快活...

我真的懂，你不是喜新厌旧，
是我没有陪在你身边当你寂寞时候。
别再看着我说着你爱过，别太伤痛，
我不难过，这不算什么，
只是为什么眼泪会流我也不懂，
不要再说，或许这是最好的结果，
现在分手，总好过你不爱我一拖在拖，
松开你的手离开你左右，我向前走，
这会是我，真正的解脱...

Clinicial Fines

$$ stucked in Cash Deposit Machine

2005-12-14T00:09:00.000+08:00

I was in town yesterday then i need to tansfer some $$ from POSB to my UOB account.. so two guy frens of mine being my bao biao for the day, accompanied me to the UOB cash deposit machine next to the cineleisure. Then i did the usual process, insert the card in, then put the stuck of cash and wait for the machine to count. then suddenly, the machine jus ejected out my card and the screen appeared the following note, ' Please call 1800 2222121 for assistance.' BEST!! my cash stucked!!! super lan diao... what the hell...it quite a sum lo!!! $1600 to be exact!!! ahhhhh.....

so bo bian... called them up. A ger answered, lodged a report for me, said i have to wait for 2-3 working days for them to retrieve the cash and cash in manually for me. ok, fine... this was not the first time that i kanna this, the previous time was in NUS YIH with the POSB cash deposit machine. But that time they got it done by the next working day.. why UoB hav to wait for 3 days!!

anyway, since i was in town today again for facial so i decided to give the machine a check after my facial session. The machine was working already le... so meant that my money had been retrieved. hence i tried updating my passbook.. it did not reflect. superb pissed off liao... i immediately called UoB up again. The ger on the said that they have to check the account before they cash in for me.. so hav to wait another 1-2 days... DUH!!! What is this!?!?! What if i need the money for some urgent matter how...... Nowadays everyone is emphasizing on service and efficiency right... then shouldn't UoB provided better quality service than this... Wah.. this was really a real turn off!! I understand that it was not any fault of the ger on the line hence i did not pick anything on her.. i was simply annoyed by the bank's efficiency in handling such matters... HAiz........

Chicken Little

2005-12-14T00:00:00.000+08:00

~2 books from Times~

2005-12-08T23:21:00.000+08:00

jus bought 2 books from Times today. both of the same author, Andrew Matthews. One titled 'Follow Your Heart - Finding Purpose in Your Life and Work'; the other, 'Happiness Now'. Happened to read through some parts of both books... like both of them so dunno which one to buy so decided to buy both instead. :)

2005-12-08T14:20:00.000+08:00

When you figure out where you're going, let me know. I may be here, but I may not.

~Prime~

2005-12-07T12:45:00.000+08:00

Watched 'Prime' yesterday at Orchard Cineleisure with Bj. it's a romantic comedy... rather funny... Meryl Streep who acted as the role of the therapist, Dr. Lisa Metzger was darn comical when she realised that her 23 years old son was dating a 37 years old woman who was her client. haha... Nevertheless, it did not have a fairytale ending.... The two didn't end up together.. think the 14 years age gap was simply too great. however, during the course of time they were together, they did learn alot from one another.. Something that Dr Lisa said to her son kind of strucked me. She said, 'In life, there are some relationships which you fall in love, you learn, you grow and you move on.'

Ah Mei kaya Toast

2005-12-07T12:36:00.000+08:00

Tried the Ah Mei Kaya Toast yesterday at Paragon basement. The Ah Mei Ice Milk Tea is very nice... thick and smooth then not too sweet! Thumbs UP!! :) The kaya toasts are good too.. ya kun's compariable! Then Bj also said that their toast sets are much cheaper than ya kun. I ordered set C - a cup of ice milk tea with 2 kaya toasts for $2.80. :)

Shoes, shoes and more shoes

Funny Article

2005-12-06T00:34:00.000+08:00

Came across this rather interesting article in the Newpaper... Quite funny...haha :)

I'll get my own bouquet, thank you
By Annette Tan

November 28, 2005

THE Christmas lights are up, carols waft from the speakers at shopping centres, and all over the island throngs of people are gearing up to spend good money on clothes and shoes. Welcome to December, the dreaded wedding season.

Already, I've received two wedding invitations. And because Singapore is such a tiny island, it means I can't buy just one dress and wear it twice. I'm bound to meet the same people at both parties and being seen in the same dress twice is simply not done.

You see, for non-socialite, glam-wannabe women like me, weddings are the closest thing to a red carpet event. And you don't ever see Zhang Ziyi wearing the same dress twice, do you? David Gan would never allow it.

It's quite unfair when you think about it: For a guy, a wedding invitation is one big pain in the bum that starts with a trip to the tailor and ends with a hangover. For girls, it entails getting a tan, the hair and nails done, and the desperate hope that she'll stand out from the rest of the chicks wearing slinky black dresses.

Or is it just me?

Still, dressing up is the least of my worries. Truth be told, I quite like the excuse to buy two new dresses. That, in turn, gives me the excuse to acquire two new pairs of shoes and, perhaps, two more evening bags. If I'm feeling particularly lavish, I might pick up two new lipsticks while I'm at it. But, I digress.

Perhaps what I dread most about weddings is the fact that at some point in the evening, I will be dragged into the centre of a pit and forced to feign enthusiasm for the bride's wilting bouquet.

Short of leaving the wedding early, no matter what I do to hide or disappear, they always manage to find me.

The moment the emcee says: 'Can we have all the single ladies on the dance floor, please?' I begin my run to the bathroom, attempt to blend in with the smokers outside, or hide under a table (and swipe a few pieces of unattended wedding cake while I'm at it).

Alas, I've been able to run, but I've never been able to hide. Quite possibly the most humiliating incident was when at one wedding, the emcee announced, 'Annette, come out, come out wherever you are. We won't start till you come out.'

Defeated, I crawled out from under the table, a few crumbs of sugee cake still plastered to my lips.

Technically, I'm not single. I have a partner whom I've been dating far longer than the wedding couple have known each other. Just because I'm not married to him doesn't mean I should be thrown into a pit with nubile 20-somethings writhing with glee in their desperate attempt to catch the damn bouquet.

Leave me the hell alone, I say. If I want to get married, I can damn well afford my own flowers.

So this wedding season, I'm taking things into my own hands. I will not go shopping for dresses I will only wear once and I will not put up with people questioning my unmarried status.

In fact, I will not attend those weddings at all. I am, however, going to use the money I would have spent on the shoes and clothes and treat myself to a week-long holiday.

And if the mood for flowers strikes me, I'll simply buy myself some. At least I know no one's going to throw them at me.

眼泪成诗

2005-12-05T16:25:00.000+08:00

I like this song of Stefanie Sun. It is a sad song but i found it really touching and the lyrics is rather well written. am looking for the mp3, who have?? please share!! :)

眼泪成诗 -- 孙燕姿

我已经已经把我伤口化作玫瑰
我的泪水已经变成雨水早已轮回
我已经已经把对白留成了永远
忘了天色究竟是黑是灰

分手伤了谁谁把它变美
我的眼泪写成了诗已无所谓
让你再回味字不醉人人自醉
因为回忆总是美

我已经已经把绝情变成了恭维
因为不配你就忽然自卑说声失陪
我已经已经把沉默变成了忏悔
无路可退只能无言已对

分手伤了谁谁把它变美
我的眼泪写成了诗已无所谓
让你在回味字不醉人人自醉
因为回忆总是美

分手伤了谁谁把它变美
我的眼泪写成了诗一首无所谓
让你在回味字不醉人人自醉
你的品味总是美

The Many Moods of Love

2005-12-04T22:45:00.000+08:00

here's something that i came across on the net and found it rather true so thought of sharing it here . at times, i think it's easier to be single than in a relationship and once in a relationship, it really takes efforts of both parties to maintain it and keep the sparks.

Wasted Trip

2005-11-27T14:23:00.000+08:00

Coach Potato

2005-11-23T16:46:00.000+08:00

with such a cooling weather, i slept till 12+ today... haha.. so shiok!! In holiday mood, dun feel like doing anything today... can't think of what to have for lunch, hence only had a cup of milo. Then jus rot around to catch my tvbs hongkong drama series... wat a relax day!!

Movie, Dinner, Shopping @ Orchard

2005-11-22T23:53:00.000+08:00

It was a cold and rainy day. Nevertheless, it did not stop me from going out. haha...

Watched 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose' at Orchard Cine today with GH, just realised that the ticket at Orchard Cineleisure is $7, $0.50 more expensive than Causeway Cineleisure but $0.50 cheaper than other cinemas. The show was not that bad, not very scary. It let me felt that it was not just a show about the fight between God and Devil, Good vs Evil. But also, a battle between sexes, science vs religion, facts vs possibilities. Quite an interesting movie!!

We then went to Taka after the movie, GH wanted to get a base foundation fron Chanel. Not bad... cost her $66, so since i have taka vouchers, she bought $60 of the voucher from me. I was quite happy to exchange the voucher for cash. :) We then looked at the wallets. Both of us wanna change wallets.. saw some nice ones but then not they are not what i want. Doesn't matter since my wallet still ok, not in a hurry to change.

GH and I passed by this new eating place known as 'Pepper Lunch' at Taka. Think it is not very new but because it was the first time i saw it so i considered it new lo...haha... The food looked quite good on the menu so we decided to give it a try. It serve Japanese food but in a hot stone bowl. I ordered the beef pepper rice, while GH had a "Shimofuri" pepper steak. So when our meal were served, we were supposed to add the honey brown sauce or garlic soy sauce into the hot stone bowl and mixed the contents. i tried both sauces.. but i prefered the garlic soy sauce. The food was not bad.. i liked the bean spouts with the garlic soy sauce!! haha...

We shopped around after the meal. Saw some nail polish of the brand 'The Face Shop' selling at $2.50, so we tried out some of the colours. There was this couple very funny, the ger actually tried the nail colours by painting on her guy's nails. Then the guy actually and even helped her to choose the colours. So sweet and loving. haha.. End up, GH and i bought the same nail colour - shimmering lavender.

Wanna get some new clothes but didn't manage to get any but then at the very least, i didn't go home empty handed... haha.. :)

Raining Morning

2005-11-17T16:07:00.000+08:00

Woke up hearing the heavy rain splattering. :( hate it when it raining the morning when i need to go to work... on top of that, i was having heavy flow and stained myself... what a bad start to a day! Thought L would not buy the wantan mee since it was raining and he ride. But then surprisingly, he bought and on top of that also help us buy soya bean milk too... not bad sia... but being good ladies, we do pay him our shares. haha....

KTV again

2005-11-17T15:57:00.000+08:00

i went to partyworld again yesterday, this time round with my colleagues, DL, S and L. DL, S and i went together since that L wanna go home to sleep first, hence we decided to start without him. i chose too many songs and had to sing about 6 in a row. Throat almost can't make it.. haha.. We thought that L would sing Hokkien songs since he has the ah beng look but then to our surprise, not only he dunno how to sing Hokkien song, he can sing some cantonese songs, haha... Drop our 'glasses'. haha... It was the first time that i go ktv with them, was quite fun overall even though i left earlier for dinner. But i got to sing most of my favourite songs.. L even said he would help us buy wantan mee for breakfast today. haha...

Change of Pizza Hut Menu

2005-11-15T23:07:00.000+08:00

Went to the Pizza Hut at Tampines Mall today with K and S. It must have been quite a long time since i patronised pizza hut, they have changed their menu. The new menu reminds me of Swedsens. We ordered 3 individual lunch sets with 2 pizzas and 1 pasta. Realised they like pineapple alot, they put pineapples in the pizza, pineapples in the pasta and even in the ice cream, there are also pineapples. haha...

Just Like Heaven

2005-11-14T21:58:00.000+08:00

Catch 'Just Like Heaven' with GH at causeway point today. It's really a very funny and nice show.. definately worth $6.50. I was quite touched by the character, David, at one point when he talked about his wife who had passed away. The ways he missed her and all her silly actions. I think the most interesting character in the show is that occults book store owner. He seemed blur blur but actually he was really gifted and knew alot. haha...

While waiting for the show to start, i saw the preview of 'In Her Shoes' starring Cameron Diaz, Toni Collette, and Shirley MacLaine. Think it quite an interesting movie about sister love, agreed with GH to watch with her.

Started to enjoy going to Causeway point, but one thing that turned me off - the long waiting time of bus 161....

Shopping Again

2005-11-13T22:41:00.000+08:00

yes.. I went for retail therapy again partly because I want to be occupied and to get out of the house. I dislike being at home especially during the weekends. Plainly due to the fact that to me this is not a home, it is just a roof where a malfunction family stays. Anyway, away from the unhappy topic, I was lucky that I got ying's company today.

Met up with ying at about 2pm, we went to the food court at Wisma. Both of us got a shock! Instead of seeing a small food court, we saw about 3/4 of the entire level is being transformed into a large food paradise. It was so crowded. We had a hard time getting a table. After lunch, we went shopping around.

We went to Metro, check out some comestics at the various counters. The promoter at Biotherm was not very friendly and helpful. Thus we went over to Ettusias, the promoters there have much better services. After much demostrations and discussion with her over the products, we each bought some. Initially, we thought Metro is having 20% discount but actually not. The so call 20% discount is actually given out as a voucher and not direct discount of the items that we are buying. I was kinda of turned off but since the girl did a good sale service, i decided to buy anyway. Spent $178 on 4 items!!! Bishhh....... but i'm quite happy with what i had bought. Hopefully the products would do my face some good...

Singing Session

2005-11-13T00:41:00.000+08:00

Went to the partyworld at Woodlands yesterday with yan, ying and shuyi. I was late coz i waited very long for bus 161 but then when i reached, i realised i was the first to arrive.. lucky i did not waste my money to take a taxi down. Think it has been very long since i last went to ktv. Those thick files with song lists are no longer in use. In fact, everything have been computerised! i was like a mountain turtle. Totally amazed!

There were alot of new songs, inclusive of yan zi's latest - 完美的一天 and 眼淚成詩. I like 眼淚成詩, it is a sad song and it reminds me of her break up. well.. it is not for me to know what causes that but i personally think that it is not easy to find two persons to have feelings and love each other. If found, should really treasure one another and make the efforts to maintain the relationship. I believe that so long the feelings are there, even in the worst situation, things could still be work out as long as both parties are willing to put in the efforts. It's hard to find a right person, it is even HARDER to maintain the relationship.

Shopping Trip

2005-11-11T16:05:00.000+08:00

I went shopping with J yesterday since we have the taka vouchers to spend. We walked into Pepper Plus at Wisma. The shop was playing 林曉培's song - 心動. The chorus of the song somehow made me sad... especially the part:-

'如果不能夠永遠走在一起
也至少給我們懷念的勇氣　擁抱的權利
好讓你明白　我心動的痕跡'

Though I do not wish to just end like that but then it isn't up to me alone to decide. Would I find the strength to face him again if we are no longer together? On the thought of that, I became sad and kinda teary but lucky I didn't break down there. Some saddness still ought to be kept within.

I have been doing retail therapy so as to myself occupied. Did not manage to get anything from taka but got a top from Future State. No trying was allowed but it was only $9, so if didn't buy like not doing justice to oneself.

曲︰黃韻玲詞︰林夕編︰黃韻玲
有多久沒見你　以為你在那裡
原來就住在我心底　陪伴著我的呼吸
有多遠的距離　以為聞不到你氣息
誰知道你背影這麼長　回頭就看到你

＊過去讓它過去　來不及
從頭喜歡你　白雲纏繞著藍天
如果不能夠永遠走在一起
也至少給我們懷念的勇氣　擁抱的權利
好讓你明白　我心動的痕跡

重唱　＊

總是想再見你　還試著打探你消息
原來你就住在我的身體守護我的回憶

Staff Dinner

2005-11-10T00:12:00.000+08:00

Had my staff dinner tonight at York hotel. Initially I want to go Orchard earlier so that I can go Lucky Plaza to buy the facial solution but it rained so I joined my colleagues in the sharing of taxi. The food was not too bad. I won a $40 takashimaya voucher during a lucky draw! :)

As food was being served, games were played. Being the latest addition to the family, I was being volunteered by my colleagues to participate in the last game - a test of flexibility. There were 4 ladies and 5 men. We were to pick up a paper box placed onthe ground with our mouth with only the two feet on the ground. Of course, the first round was easy coz the box was tall. Then the box was cut into half and eventually smaller. In the 3rd round, I had difficulities reaching the box, so I asked for some time to do some stretching. My direct boss told me not to do it coz she felt it's difficult but i wanna try and not to give up so easily. I got the box but I almost lost my balance. haha... In the end, i was the the last girl standing with 2 guys. haha... rather stunned by my own flexibility. The MC decided to stop the game and declared the 3 of us as winners and we were to share the presents - chocolates! haha... It was rather fun though i am not much of a chocolate lover. haha

Emotions Coaster

2005-11-09T23:48:00.000+08:00

It's the first day since last thurs that i didn't cry. i don't know if this is good or bad... maybe i've slowly learn to accept the situation or maybe i'm tired - mentally, emotionally and physically drained. I still miss him alot but today i managed to control myself when at the verge of tears. At times, i was angry with myself how come i am so emotionally vulnerable. As I hope that time will pass fast so that the waiting period will be over, I am also fearful of the results. Meanwhile, I will have to hold myself together and control myself from contacting him. It is such a torturing experience when u miss someone yet u can't contact him at all, not even an sms.

a blogger

2005-11-09T15:14:00.000+08:00

i have finally created a blog after much weeks of hesitation. Never do i thought of become a blogger myself since i was so busy with work and stuff. However, I found this may be one of the outlets for me to express myself in the current situation. Nevertheless, I wonder do I have the time and energy in maintaning my blog. Actually I have much to share but now I am kinda tired. Maybe as Edwyn had said, i have exhausted my energy thinking thus getting tired... Think i will go take a nap first.
