爱情,就好像在山上找最完美的石头。可是,一个人的手里只能握住一颗石头。如果要找到更完美的石头,就要先把自己手里的那块给扔掉。。。





也可能,好的石头都已经滚到湖底去了 。。

Week 4 of work!

Woots it's been an awesome two days so far! :) Wed was the general meeting with the whole team, and I got to know the people in Luke's team so much better! I guess, it won't be too hard to fit in after all! :)

Went thru all the assigned jobs everyone was supposed to finish and revenue forecast for the year 2010, and I realise that they all have damn alot of events in store for a whole year! Some big clients, some small stuff. Cool.

THen the highlight was the after-lunch actually. When the whole team went out to Brewerks (walau i have never had beer for lunch lor) and got jugs of beer and lotsa food! Was truly stuffed. They then ordered another two extra jugs of beer (I think cos Boss was paying) and then we were all so stuffed we had to play some game to finish it. So. it was "I have never", and BOY. all the dirty secrets came pouring out..I mean. Didnt' know u had to be so honest at beergames, but anyway. OMG really. I. Didn't. Know. LOL. tsk, the difference between the school people and the work people. Now, this is the real twang!

We had such a guffaw over many things and it was pretty entertaining seeing who did what and who's never. well anyway. Went back to the office red-faced, and settled some stuff before the team headed out for a "Conference" again, to... Crystabelle at Chinatown! Had some fun K-ing and knowing them a lil' more..Really glad that most of the team are pretty young, so i mean, they all know each other pretty well already, but I guess time will solve things. Just hope that I'm not too jia kantang.

Anyway, Yesterday was awesomer!! Met up with random girls, Yilin, Jo and Crystal, and we headed out to this really Uluated place "Sunset Grill" at Seletar Camp, and had such an adventure finding the place!! Haha wonderful GPS and bad direction-sense! We went round and round and almost drove into a ditch! haha but we found the pretty place in the end, and had such Hotass Buffalo wings at Level 5! Darn it was really like chilli-padi hot!! Gahh!

The other dishes were fab tho! Yummy white-wine mussels and fried mushrooms and yummy Clam chowder!! Super stuffed. Of course. The best part was the catching up! :)

Jo, got me psyched up all over again about WAT and America; which, of course I've been trying to forget and cool down after the Summer hiatus, and it was so interesting hearing about everybody's BF statuses and all the inside stories!!

OMG awesome we really have to do such randomness again! The best thing with old friends you've shared a past with is that it's always easy to hook back up again and there's always no awkwardness nor difficulty finding topics!! In fact there was too little time to finish talking actually. We realise we haven't seen each other for like, 5 years? SOooo much to catch up on!

And we wanted to revisit Cedar again during lunch break (for me n yilin) today! Cos it's like Jo's last day before school starts. Ohwell didnt' work out, but good also la, I have an event today to attend.

Yayy so happy. okay things are all going well in life except for the BF who is no where to be found (online of course). I know he's started work and all that, and well, I've started work and all that, so I can't really cater to the horrible timing esp with daylight saving time and all that, but we've been emailing? :( I don't like. not the same, not the same at all!

Okay nvm i'm not supp to be blogging at work! LOL. Bye!

Kudos to me I'm blogging so much! :)

Just got back from sending Xun off at the airport..lucky girl, get to go to Paris for one whole semester!! It is definitely going to be such an adventure! Reminds me of good times in America..

Was real happy to hang around the Cblkies for abit, I miss them so much, and the whole of hall life..but it seems a tad distant no matter how, since i've physically moved away and am so detached from hall and its activities; And that's also the way hall is, the hustle and bustle moves on as quickly as it always does, with or without you.. :'(

Earlier on after a eye-popping day at work (stared at my lappie the whole darn day), headed home in a busful of foreign workers again, squashed, and sadly without my ipod, which died. :( It really makes a whole lot of difference travelling without my music. Makes the trip feel unbearably even longer.

Well, as usual my thoughts drifted to L and the good times, and how I feel about him and what might be, or not. Y'know distance really makes the heart grow fonder, and then maybe that fondness becomes over-imagination and in worse cases delusion. I really hope not.

sighs. I really wonder if this is a mess I'm getting my heart into. I mean. On the outside it doesn't really have a huge impact in my life...dealing with hall life, check. moving home, check. new life at work, check. single status in singapore, still check. Or so it appears to be.

Meanwhile inside, that muscle in the left ribcage still throbs silently, wondering if its strings were tugged for a reason, and starting to reconsider that cynicsm towards love or anything even close to it.

Gawd why am I being poetic. Anyway I concluded that perhaps I was just thinking too much being in a busful of people yet feeling so damn alone. I still stick to that theory that things happen for a reason, and maybe it aint' time to think so much yet. Not like I'm being chased by anyone anyway right? Dammit girl have more confidence in your charm. lol.

Alright enough ranting for the night! Toodles.

Packing to the new year!

So, the New weekend of the year I mean the weekend of the New Year 2010 :), was spent cleaning up and packing the room at home! Yayness! Finally. me n sis got down to sucking up all the dust in the godforsaken corners and practically everywhere actually. Cos actually we haven't been living in here for real the past 3 years? Hall, hall...takes your soul away from home.. Lol.

Well yes, so we cleared loads of stuff--threw away loads and had loads to give away and recycle, and yet there is still so much to do! I still dread to unpack those bags of things I brought back from hall (yes,yes they are still untouched *hand wipes brow*)..sighs!

Anyway. there were things from SACPrimary school (yes omg right), Cedar (oh lovely girlhood days), VJC and my old love life, and now, NUS..gahhH! really tons to look thru and sort! I realise from the last time we moved out of our 20-year old Bishan house til now, things have built up into a mountain and well basically our maid moved it over for us so I still didnt' know where things were...until now. It really is unbelievable a teenager can store up so much trash (okay not really, they are my treasured notes and exchanged gifts from friends okay!). :P

Read thru tons of stuff and packed them according to stacks of memories..learnt alil' bit more and remembered a bit more about my old self..so glad to be where I am. Things have all settled down, I've found my place making and keeping old friends (learning to appreciate the gold and silver ones and not feeling lost or counting the petty stuff), still learning about relationships and well. I really wonder why I haven't been attached again much earlier..lol.

okay honestly I guess I was pretty caught up on all the school stuff, which is a good thing too I guess. But anyway was reading thru the old cards I got and the pre-letter drafts to the ex, and i realise how that relationship was built on twigs. It was just waiting to snap and I refused to see it? Must be the first-time syndrome. -_-

And I realised how much I've matured from then (or so I hope), and have learnt my lesson to never rely on someone else for happiness. That's just creating bubble of hope that would eventually burst. Sighs. so much for being a dreamer, huh? I guess life's just rubbed that pixie dust off my eyes. I hate that.

Sighs. okay moving on to happy stuff, now there's LOADS of space to shift in the new junk! bwahaha. bleahs. don't know if that is a good thing or bad. well. at least now I know where my things are and can always add the right things to the right pile! hahaha gawd I prolly was born a groundhog my past life.

Alrights! Back to packin'! :)

(Update)Results: My bedside, from this:

To this!!:

hahaa okay nvm doesn't look like much of a diff from here but there truly was lotsa dust and junk! :))

Vanilla Twilight

The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere
'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly
But I'll miss your arms around me
I'd send a postcard to you, dear
'Cause I wish you were here

I'll watch the night turn light blue
But it's not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly

The silence isn't so bad
'Til I look at my hands and feel sad
'Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly

I'll find repose in new ways
Though I haven't slept in two days
'Cause cold nostalgia
Chills me to the bone

But drenched in vanilla twilight
I'll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because
When I think of you I don't feel so alone
I don't feel so alone
I don't feel so alone..
As many times as I blink
I'll think of you tonight
I'll think of you tonight

When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again

And I'll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won't forget you
Oh, if my voice could reach
Back through the past
I'd whisper in your ear
Oh, Darling I wish you were here

2009-2010!!

The transition to the year 2010 was fun fun FUNN!!! I'm really glad I had such awesome company, and didn't have a boring one that I guess I had last year? I can't remember top off the mind now. But anyway. tons of pictures will be up of just now I am very sure. :)

Gosh I am really dead beat and it's 4.30am now but I have to write this. Now now, we cannot start the year, no, decade (!!), with laziness, can we? :D Which was also why today at work I left late (it was half day though) and almost had a heart attack finishing all my work cos I really wanted it done TODAY..

It's really fast. 2009 has really been a year of closures for me. Once, with Command with my FYFs0809; the best Command I could ever ask for..and then after having a beautiful summer in the USA; a reluctant departure with a growing love for the country and a newfound love..and then 6months later a quiet, heart-wrenching tug away from hall alone on Boxing day, just me and my favourite place of these 3 years or so, and moving home..a start of a whole new chapter of re-nesting and habit-recreating.

So much has happened and despite everyone putting up pictures and reminiscing the past year or decade, I refuse to do that right now. Actually really, cos i'm really damn shagged. haha.

Back to the countdown to 2010!! Met the CG gang and Charlynn at Timbre mobile @ ECP.. My first time..It's so pretty there! I love the enviro-friendly ambience, with the ever-entertaining GoodFellas. Good food, drinks, music and company, what more is there to ask for? :D

It was a pretty darn good time we were having, me, very much charmed by the voices of the GoodFellas and the infectious fun they looked like they were having onstage, and we played some cards too, which was quite funny.. had some drinks (2 Kamikaze shots, 1 Pina Colada and half a Heineken), and had tons of pictures taken all the way til we left and hit the beach!!

It was awesome, minutes before countdown the staff handed out party stuff, and we started spraying partystring and blowing those party things..and then the clock struck midnight and the ships blared their horns twice or thrice? and shot out those emergency red lights into the sky like fire works!

Plus, guess what's special tonight? It's a blue moon night!! Can u believe how cool it is? The night was brightly lit by a full moon..the second one this month! Hence the name blue moon.

So cool right!! What a perfect start to the new year!

We hit the beach and played with sparklers..the standard sparkler air-drawings ensued, and tons of pictures taken! Some are damn nice! Like the one that says (marry me) and Charlynn's and my huge heart!! Oh well will post when pics are uP!

Me n Char's Perfect heart!! :) For u, L!

Conjoined angels!

jul's the horny devil!!

Look at all our pretty shapes..n jul's third finger..loL!

Adrian should get the hint now..haha
, L!

okok anw the beach part was okay apart from being disgusted from the noisy bangla bunches everywhere on the beach (i deduced that it was actually quite sad for them cos they have to spend NY's overseas and with other guy workers..it's practically NS overseas!) and moving on to campgrounds--well u can almost call it that cos everyone got their tents up on every possible space (super sad! Our beach looked like a renovation site with ppl camping on them!! :( )..

Let's just say I wouldn't show any foreign friends ECP during seasons like this?? Arghh damn sad, the lack of land and natural resources..

Still, we have lots to thank for, and anyway I still had a wonderful night!! Pics will be up soon!

Okay technically i fell asleep and finished the last two phrases on NY's day, 1/1/10!! hahaha



HAPPYY 2010 my Lovelies!!

Christreemas

Back to Christmas, which has passed quicker than I'd expected it to... I kinda was looking forward to it the entire 4months before this, and then it hit mid-December and Christmas seemed to have lost its meaning for me because of a certain change in arrangements. :'(

However, it still turned out Christmassy and family-ey cos well, it is, afterall, Singapore. And how can u not be happy with all the bright shiney lights in town and Christmas jingles on tv and new promotions in every mall trying to suck out every penny from everyone during this happy season? -_- LOL. so anyway I took pictures of Xmas trees around Spore and I wanted to make a collage of it!

...... okay i am too lazy to find out how to do that.

Well I suck at IT stuff so anyway i'm going to post them up blogger style. bwahaa. :(
In order: star-themed tree from Raffles City, Ferrero Rocher tree outside Taka, Huge gold n velvet tree in Tampines Mall, Tiny blue tree in West Coast Plaza, Amazing redbauble in Changi T3 that opens up, City Square's Faerie tree at night, Pink teddy trees in Taka and the purple walk-in tree outside Ion (so sad couldn't take a close-up)!

Woots! So pretty right?? I totally cannot choose my favourite tree lor!! okay my phone pictures really do none of the trees justice. What to do. Losers with no cameras (don't even dare talk to me about DSLRs) can't be chosers. hahaha! Well it's okay, i got to see them and they made my Christmas!! :) you gotta agree that they stepped up on decos (at least a wee bit) this Xmas! :)
Merry Christmas to those still in the cheery mood! :)

The last peektures of C606~

Okay, for keepsakes this is just going to be uploaded. Don't worry about me peeps, the emo-ness is done and i'm moving on to decorate the new abode now at home!! Lots to pack and redeco, and to majorly revamp my comfort zone. :)

Here's the last looks of C606 anyway.

My bedside and the boxful of last sem's mess..

Look at the whole stackful of old books to be sold!! There are about 15++!! Hah dumped them to sis to sell for me next sem.. these gems are $$ okayy. :P
My cosy little corner!! :) Spot Lil' L!

Half-packed with my closet emptied into bags which i shifted out of the room.. all the small knick-knacks still lying around..

Shucks I miss my note-filled door! But only rmred to take a pic after I'd removed them..kinda stuck and hung back my name.. -_-'

Less than half of the room in those bags..
Oops its abit dark but anw was damn emo when i took this pic.

Whew okay! That's a closure! Oh my 3 whole entries on moving out!! :S Pardon all this fuss about a room.. it means alot to me okayy. :D

The last moment.

Alrightey.. OFFICIALLY the last few hours (or the last hour) left in my sweet ol' C606.

An upbeat tune's streaming from the radio ("Be my escape", how apt!) -- the room's filled with more dust than things... One more reason for me to leave -- My bed's prolly the cleanest thing left; my pink sailship in a sea of dust and mites; it's the last thing I want to clear, apart from disconnecting my radio and lappie... these are the last few shreds of connection I have with the room now, was really unwilling (even up to this point actually), to strip them off because it takes away the biggest part of me from this room... My music, my internet, and my bed(Little larry n winnie pillow still in place). It really is all I need.
Sitting on my bed with everything packed save the bed

My memories are packed in a box; I've filled all the bags I can find in the room..my trinklets, notebooks, accessories, clothes; and taken my name and doorgift off the door [:'(]

It still pretty much feels like my room right now, but not anymore once I strip the bed of my pink wraps and stash Lil' L and Wpill away in the car..

THIS IS IT. THE LAST MOMENT. :'(

And even then, awesome music is streaming in from the radio, as if it's my mini farewell to this life I've loved so much. It's time to move on..Byebye C606!

One last look out the window to see the newly built NBS that i won't get to use!! :(
