I'm back for now!

I'm back again, for a short period I presume? I've been reading some past entries from my blog and I have a sudden urge to write. I wonder which kind soul still keep an eye on my blog. Please rise up your hand if you do!!

*Sees no one*

Oh well.

I must have been missing for about 2 months in preparation for my exam which is still on-going now. I miss my friends and the feeling of not doing anything and not feeling guilty for not studying right now but blogging! And of course, I've MIA for too long to start telling you how I've been for the past few months. Good News first: My exam will end this Wednesday, with 2 more papers to go (Tomorrow and Wednesday) and I am going Hong Kong next week! My initial intention is to visit Beijing and Hong Kong but the plan was dropped and changed to Hong Kong.

Bad News. My grandmother has passed away on 24th May 2008. This, to me is an unexplainable and indescribable pain. I've not lost anyone since the death of my grandfather when I was little. I do not know how to express this feeling and I'm afraid to admit it. You may say I am still a little in denial; It is indeed difficult to face the lost. It happened too fast and too sudden. It has never crossed my mind that it will happen so soon and yes, it is hard to believe she is not around anymore. I thank all of you who has come by my ah ma's funeral.

Ah ma, rest in peace.

I am indeed a glutton. MMmmm

It was a simple meet up with Jerome last evening. A long catch up over dinner and we were on the way home. I couldn't really walk much with my injured knees and he had some projects on hand to complete. My knees are getting better now though; I am able to walk faster but still kinda difficult to climb stairs. I rubbed my blue-black with Zam-Buk and I think it might be the reason it's recovering! Hee.

I had always been crazy and gila over mooncakes so imagine my excitedness when I will be able to eat my favourite mooncakes soon! Don't say I never share; DBS card is having a few promotion for some mooncakes from 17th August I guess, so... yeah I'm gonna stuff my face with mooncakes!! I think my size is going to take the shape of the mooncake too. Thank God I prefer the 8 pieces size.

There was a tea break today at 4pm and all of us were gathering in my boss' room munching some sugar rolls and they were gossiping about some interesting insurance brokers they have encountered. There will be a training session with all the brokers next week and there's 1 particular lady (I don't think she's a broker herself though) that I am very interested to pay attention to. I was told that she ONLY button up the last button of her shirt and she wears plainly a bra inside. Yes, try picturing it. Call me a psycho, but it's puzzling me what kind of bra she shall display. How I wish I could post up a picture of her next week. Ha! Wistful thinking :P It's just a wonder how somebody could wear that to work.

I pray that my colleagues aren't exaggerating.

Second last note to this entry: Does Anybody know if Singapore has Nando Chickens???? I saw an indian man carrying it's plastic bag boarding the train at Farrer Park. I'm longing for some Nandos! I wish he is not just simply carrying Nando's plastic bag. Bahahahaa. What a fool I am.

Last note to this entry: Oh right, you know what? The Florida's Natural Au'some Fruit Juice Nuggets is way tasty. It's my favourite sweet at the moment and it taste just like the fruit itself (Well, almost). Try it and you'll love it!

I am a clumsy girl

I did not work today because I had fallen down on my knees on my way to work. I am feeling clumsy because I am 23 and yet I still fall on my knees?! I would have thought the wounds would bleed profusely initially, but it later turned out to be better than I thought. Little blood but full patch of blue-black (if you know what I mean). There are 2 big wounds on each knee so that makes 4 wounds altogether. I would think my wound looks kind of gross so I shall leave out on further details and pictures.

On a happier note, I missed work but I am home to receive my handphone when it was delivered to my home this morning! I am glad to have a new phone for work tomorrow! And I am meeting Jerome (finally!) after work as well. He's my best best best friend and I hasn't met up with him since my Aussie trip. Sure looking forward to tomorrow~ :)

I had been thinking a fair bit for the past few months and I think numbness has hit me (at last). I am calm and feel no anger nor disappointment for all that I read, accused (or not). I am feeling sad though, for the numbness I am experiencing because it could spell G-A-M-E O-V-E-R. People come and go. This is what Adrian taught me. It is cruel but truth hurts. Like all, I am trying to walk away without shame, and properly regrets. I am almost glad that this drama could finally come to an end.

I wrote this some 4 years back to express my inner thoughts. There is no title for it though. Here you go:


Am I thinking too much
Or am I thinking too few
In a world of only me and you
I wonder how it feels
To have me breathing down the hill
Without a hint of air
That you were once here

Sometimes it seems
Sometimes it not
I do not care not
Yeah that is a surface I had formed

So I am proud
I am not
So I am pretending
I gave a nod
So I acted strong
But why not?

Strong in a city of fakes
Pretend in a world of hypocrites
Proud in a society of materialistic
A global concern for human think

And here I am
Not pretending
Not acting
To be a real person
To prove my own


It's nothing fantastic and I don't know if you could call it a poem, or some notes I scribbled.

What surprises me is the power of how my thoughts 4 years back could still have an impact on me now.

Happy National Day!

I better blog on this special day before it ends. I wonder if how many of you guys actually catch the Live parade today. I would like to think you are undoubtedly lucky this year because of the REAL limited seats available. As for myself, I only managed to check out the fireworks at Marina Square with the masses. In fact, I caught the preview fireworks and I wonder why I am still hanging around at City Hall area today. It was almost difficult to reach home because of the crowd and we had to make a tour to Bugis to avoid the party of people.

Tomorrow is Monica's last day at work and I am feeling pretty sad about it as I am short of 1 lunch kaki. My colleagues love to lunch in and they eat soooooooo wayyyy tooooo much little that I believe at the end of my assignment I would have slim down if I have lunch with them almost everyday. It is not a bad thing seeing that I have gained a lilliputian amount of weight.

The thing is, this is how they eat:
A eats a few mouthful of rice.
A exclaims: Oh I am SO full.

And this is what I will do.
*looks up from my rice*
*shocked*

Really, it can be a torture if you are feeling damn hungry and hate to waste food.

And my entire office eat that way.

Save me!

Have I mentioned? My new handphone is going to be delivered on coming Monday morning! Coolness, I am going to have a new mobile!! I noted that my ringing tone has been changed to some English songs. I hope it's free though. I didn't request for any Bye-bye-ringtone. Haha~

I Hate Cramps.!

This hasn't been a perfect weekend for myself. I am down with cramps today and this is a stay-home-with-painful-cramps-Saturday. Fine fine.

I was out with Monica yesterday evening in search of her dress for her friend's ROM and she has finally bought... Not 1, but 2 dresses! I adore dress and I have a kick to get one for myself too. Maybe I will, on National Day where there'll be sales. Yippee!

Not forgetting to mention, I have been on a lookout for a handphone because I can foresee my current phone will not last me for the coming months. I have decided! I will be getting W660i. Yes, I will. In the next week or so. Yes I will make use of the National Day promotion to get myself a new phone. I will.

Did I mention about Ikoi? It's a Japanese buffet at Miramar Hotel and my boyfriend had been pestering me to book a seat with them for a few days. I finally called them on one evening and it turned out that... We need to wait for at least 3 weeks for a counter seat (Note weekend) and 5 weeks for a non-counter (Note table) seat. How exaggerating is that?! Yup, we managed to get a counter seat on 18th August and mind you, we called them on 1st August. Hahahahaha. It's nuts. Singaporeans totally dig Japanese food!

Shop and Eat!

I dined at Basil Alcove located at Fortune Center tonight and this place is pretty highly recommended by a food blogger, and thus the visit. I've been wondering how am I to classify this place; it is not a restaurant, but something better than a cafe. If you're wondering, they are located beside the road but the atmosphere make it somewhat a different world from the busy traffic. It must be the candlelight on my table. My baby and I ordered half a dozen mussels, smoked duck, 2 pastas and 2 drinks which rounds up to around $28. Fairly reasonable if you ask me. I thought my bacon and mushrooms aglio that cost $5.50 tastes good, and not forgetting the half dozen mussels priced at $4.80 is enjoyable. I have taken some photos with my handphone again and yes, I do take ugly pictures. I decide against to post the pictures because I thought that will not do the food any justice.

I did a little shopping after dinner at Bugis Village and bought a little dress for $24. I am feeling pleased for making a purchase after months of window shopping. You never know how I feel. It's a cheap thrill. Haha! Bugis Village, I realised, is a good place to shop during weekdays because they are not overcrowded and the place do sell some nice clothes. My eyes fall on a shop that sells fake Little Miss tees and I am lost for a second. I am nuts about Little Miss and I sometimes wish I could just collect all the Little Miss. The Junkfood brand sells Little Miss at $49.90 and that's way a little too expensive for a tee. Really, I love Little Miss. Got this in red from a mall in Aussie.

Check out this Accessories blog. They sell original and undoubtedly beauteous earrings, necklaces and bag charms.

It's Friday (again)! I am not looking forward because I will be having classes on Friday night and Saturday afternoon.

In this age, it's survival of the fittest.

Stop the drama!

Monday blues! It's a long day for me, what with class after work. My mum just came back from her trip to Malaysia and brought back some tidbits which doesn't very much interest me, but I think i will still enjoy it cause I am a "glutton"! Hah! She has offered to buy me a new handphone because I have been using mine for almost 2 years and recently it spell signs of aging. I am eyeing a Sony Ericsson W660i in Rose Red (3G), or Sony Ericsson S500i. The latter is cheaper but I would prefer the former mentioned but I might not buy at all since I am a fickle person and I would want to pay for my own stuff if possible. It all falls on how desperate I am and the aging process of my mobile.

W660i

I am feeling rather sick as I've been notified that there will be 2 tutorials this coming Saturday from 2pm to 5.15pm. This is only the 2nd week of school! So much for R&R during weekends!

I never thought about blogging about this because they are considered personal to myself, but I am somewhat disappointed in me lately. I have failed to control my anger toward something I've read over the weekend. As I have always preached, anger causes toxic chemicals in the body. I think in life you are bumped to encounter different types of people and it is not possible to expect understanding from everybody and for those who does, you're lucky to have met them. I consider them to be people I treasure and love. I admit it was excruciatingly disappointing originally but you get used to it and it all turns to anger and finally numbness. I am still at the phase of getting disappointed and furious but I believe it will all soon turn into numbness. I only believe in fighting for the things I think are worthy of. Why should you have such high expectation of your friends when you might not be giving anything in return? I would think this "friendship" thing is too pressurizing for me and I would like to feel that I have tried to do my part and I am fine with appreciation and thanks do not goes to me because it doesn't matter who gets the appreciation as long as we enjoyed ourselves. Sadly, not everybody have the same thought.

People change.

I am so over and through with this whole drama.
