end of 2007

it has been an eventful year.
a year where i know who are the ones who stay by my side.
i'm sick & tired of hearing & seeing things that are so superficial.
they drown my heart and soul.
if you are not sincere & uncertain of what u want to say, dont say it.
why bother to give a passing remark when u don't even mean it?
it may mean nothing to you but it could be like a knife plunged into that person's heart..
stop it..

fatal fashion & food

we were busy shopping for xmas gifts last week.
well.. of course we tend to end up looking at gifts for ourselves.
my dear buddy ended up shopping at cK as there was a massive sales there.
while he was trying on his clothes, i went on to look at the ladies' section.
there was a shelf with at least 5 colored fur clothes, along with other cotton outfits with 50% discount.
i went on to touch a sky blue fur coat.
it was amazing soft..
in my mind i was thinking if it is made from real fur..
if it was, what type of fur..?
it is 100% RABBIT fur.
cK has just joined my BANS list.
CD and Burberry are another fatal fashion labels.
it is very cruel & disturbing watching how the animals are tortured & skinned ALIVE!
the clip here is not for the faint-hearted.
it will break your heart & make u cry. ;(
it will make u wonder why humans have to go to SUCH an extent for fashion.
glamorous?
bullocks!
thousands of animals are trapped in fur farms for such vanity.
they are badgered, poisoned and skinned alive.
they don't deserve to be treated this way..

i'm sure some of u might have received emails on the torture from KFC's Supplier of the Year.
here's vid about Kentucky Fried Cruelty here.
i'm keeping my distance from Mars too.
insanity!

i was shocked when i found out about Deadly Denny's.
used to work in this restaurant chain back in my younger days.
i'm glad it's no longer operating here.

i'm horrified by all these cruelty...

visit these sites for how to protect these defenseless animals
PETA TV, Caring Consumers, Fur Is Dead and Go Veg

please do our part to save them.

TA

transactional analysis is one effective way on communicating with people.
red people especially.
reds are the ones who act or reply in hostile ways.
learnt how to handle these reds with blues.
i think it will really be great if everyone starts acting blue.
the motto is to be blue, stay blue.
quite interesting & i enjoyed every bit of it.

a very big thank you to all of our dearest family & friends who turned up to shower us with their blessings =D

phone scams

my goodness..
it happened this morning before i was heading to work.
zax's mum picked up the phone at around 10.15am & the PCR lady informed her about some jewellery fair.
she was asked for her name, NRIC & age.
of course she didn't tell the PCR the truth as she remembered reading about phone scams from China.
shortly after she put down the phone, it rang again!
this time round, she was told to press 9.
another PCR lady asked her why she is calling The Supreme Court.
zax's mum asked her back why is she calling her.
the PCR told her that there could be a voice message left on the computer system & she can help her to retrieve it.
the PCR 'transferred' her call to another 'department'.
she was asked for her name & NRIC so as to check if there is indeed a voice message.
i overheard her revealing her information.
it immediately came to my mind that it could be a scam.
when i took over the phone & spoke to the PCR, the lady over the phone seems to be angry.

Me: 请问这是什么事?

PCR: 我是从高等法院打来的. 这个家庭的成员有个电话留言.

Me: 你能讲英文吗?

PCR: 可以..

Me: What is going on? You were saying you are calling from the Supreme Court.

PCR: Yes, there is a voice message for the family. I was telling your mother just now.

Me: I see. What is the message about?

PCR: I don't know. I checked the computer system and the voice message is not for your mother. Maybe I can check for you if it is for you.

Me: The Supreme Court will send a letter to my family if it was something important. Why would the court leave a voice message on the telephone?

PCR: I don't know. It is stated in the system that there is a voice message for the family.

Me: Then can you tell me when was the message left?

PCR: I don't know. It is not in the computer system. The IT manager told me to call your family to inform of this message.

Me: I don't think the govt will leave a voice message & use our NRIC & name to retreive the voice mail. A letter will be sent to our address.

PCR: It can be some important voice message for the family. If you didn't receive the letter, then don't blame us.

Me: It's ok. I'll wait. What is your name? I'll check with Supreme Court on this.

PCR: Chen Claudia.

Me: Thank you Claudia. Bye.

these people are so evil!
they are prying upon the older folks & their lack of knowledge & fear of the law.
this is totally absurd!
please warn your family members about this..
don't be a victim.

read the news article here & here.

crabby

yes.. that is how i'm feeling today.
in fact since yesterday afternoon.
it has nothing to do with my ROM preparation.
that has something to do with my work.
sometimes, i wonder if being responsible is a good thing.
yes, of course it is!
till some clients take it as something else & ask you out with other intentions.
intentions to buaya aka lothario.
how will you feel to be slapped with cheesy lines accompanied by leery looks?
i have to stay calm & composed though many a times i want to smack those rats!
where is the respect?
some people just don't respect sales persons.
they think that sales persons will DO anything to hit their sales quota.
FCUKING wake up your idea!
i put alot of pride into my work.
i know some people think that a financial adviser only has sales agenda for meeting up with friends.
that is only partially true.
meeting up for a cuppa or a meal to catch up also means showing concern.
is it wrong to show concern for friends?
is it wrong to ask if your friends are adequately protected?
it is not my job to force my friends to BUY plans.
my job is to ensure & educate my friends in getting the right protection.
many things in life are unpredictable.
some people are selfish & don't care about their family.
they believe that their family will not fall into financial difficulties if they were to leave this world or become disabled.
that is so so wrong & self-centred!
some families wiped out their entire life savings.
nobody will want to do this to their family.
insurance is something that you won't get when u needed it most.
when you finally think you want it, you realise you might not be able to get it.
it is really disappointing when friends started avoiding you when they know you are in the financial industry.
they shun you like you are plague.
is this necessary?
i can also understand why some behave this way.
they have met pushy advisers who hard sell.
为何要一竹竿打翻全船人?

another thing that is making me upset is Jay Chou's 2008 Tour.
i'm so busy that it totally slipped my mind to check on its sales date.
totally sold out....
i told myself that i will be attending this for sure.
no way i'm going to miss this concert.
it has been so long since he last came here for concert.
now i can kiss this show goodbye.
*sob*

sh*t.. fancy getting zits at this period.
damnit!
why everything seems to go wrong?

*screams very loudly*

stay calm

must tell myself to stay calm & blue.
some people are pi$$ing me off big time.
they ought to know what their status is & where they belong to.
stop using lame execuses to ask me out.
feeling very frustrated with these people.

supernova


now i know who they are.
the latest boy group in s.korea.
initially i was puzzled by the sudden increase in my hits & went on to find out.
it does feel a little weird to have my blog with the same name as them.
considering i used to be such a k-fanatic.
these 6 boys resemble someone each.
one looks like lee junki & the other resembles kim jaejoong.
seems like they are quite talented, too.
hope these boys will make it big in the huge kpop industry.

o brien's

my 1st sandwich from this irish sandwich bar!
darling zax went to get this from me today <3
i mentioned 3 days ago that both of us have yet to try this brand's.
both of us are ardent fans of subway.
introducing the egg mayo with watercress!
(both of us adore egg mayo).


one look & it tells u 'i'm a healthy sandwich' =P


look at all the watercress!


all gobbled up in less than 3 mins!


overall review?
a little pricey.
very healthy.
neither oily or salty.
yummy for those who are health-conscious.
;)

whooping

been coughing since i last came back from BKK.
i was so sick that i didn't do much.
it went from a mild itch in my throat to full-blown cough & flu.
my head aches constantly with a dull pain.
i can't sleep well & i kept waking up to cough.
it felt as if i'm going to cough out my heart & lungs anytime.
my cough got so bad that i ended up puking my dinner yesterday. :(
i had already swallowed alot of lozenges & cough syrup.
seems like i'm on my way to recovery.. i'd better!!!
i reckon i had too much tom yum gung.
well... who can resist the tantalising lemongrassy soup?
not me, at least!
which leads to my downfall. haha!
can only blame myself to be so greedy! :x
we had alot of food during our stay there.
the local thai food, japanese food, steamboat, instant noodles & larvaes!
the guys bought a pack of fried larvaes at Sapanput.

these look so crunchy right?
well.. only the thin ones.
the fat bamboo larvaes gave a weird sensation when chewed on, according to the guys.
it was like an electric shock.
eeks! sounds bad enough!
other than food, we went for alot of head & body massages.
not costly at all.
it is great to relax after long shopping walks.
folks, u can consider to stay in Somerset Lake Point.
a lovely, spacious & clean service apartment!
excellent service from the staffs!
i'll rate it 4 stars!
oh.. forget to mention i saw this at Siam Centre.

a TVXQ promotion for their 2nd Asia Tour in BKK in dec 07.
talking about concerts, J called me & said that M is going to have his concert in KL this month.
seems like there is no promotion going on?
*shrug* not too sure either.
i dont have much time to check on these things as i've many other things on hand to handle now.
3 weeks more to go.. =D

angel

this is a very sweet mail~
probably some of u will think why i bother to send this out.
i don't fancy the portion where it states how many replies or how many persons we are supposed to send to.
it is very meaningful & i want to thank each & every one of u for being my friend.
lots of hugs & kisses to all of u.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXO

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

I am sending this to you to see how many actually read their e-mail. Your response will be interesting. Pay attention to what you read. After you have finished reading it, you will know the reason it was sent to you.

Here goes: People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season. LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime. Send this to every friend that you have on-line, including the person who sent it to you. 0 Replies - you may need to work on your 'people skills'. 2 Replies - you are nice but probably need to be more outgoing. 4 Replies - you have picked your friends well! 6 Replies - you are downright popular. 8 Replies or More - you are totally awesome (and that's probably why you're on MY list) I wonder what mine will be. GUARDIAN ANGEL Forward this message the same day you received it . It may sound ridiculous, but it is right on time. We believe that something is about to happen. Angels exist, only sometimes they haven't got wings and we call them friends; you are one of them. Something wonderful is about to happen to you and your friends. Tomorrow at 11:04 somebody will address you and tell you something you have been waiting to hear. Please do not break it. Send it to at least 7 of your friends.

the lake house

the hollywood ver to 시월애 made both of us sobbed.
yes, it took us quite awhile to watch this movie & we finally watched it.
what we can say is... 'touching'.
alex waited for kate, knowing the fact that both of them live 2 years apart.
how often do we wait for someone?
10 mins & u'll wonder if ur friend miss the bus / train.
30 mins & u'll wonder if ur friend forget the correct time to meet.
1 hr & u'll be fuming & think u had been stood up.
2 years.. oh my... he really waited.
i know u will start saying that i'm such a silly person as this is just a movie.
oh yes.. u r very right.
it is just a movie.
yet it made me think quite a bit.
will u wait for the one whom u believe is one u've been waiting for all these while?
or will u settle down for the one who has been waiting for u?

love is such an amazing thing.

the lake house is simply gorgeous.

hopeless

my heart breaks into many pieces when i found out what happened to someone very dear to me.
i'm almost tearing when L msn-ed me.
she is head over heels in love with a man since 5 years ago.
over a guy who can't commit, cheats & is a bankrupt.
why is she pinning so much hope on a jerk?
he can't provide her anything, be it in terms of security or love.
furthermore, he has a cheating heart!
he became a bankrupt when his business failed in 2004.
it is only today that she found out.
L insists on staying by him.

am i being senseless & heartless?
i wanted to slap her & make her come to her senses.
obviously, she is madly in love with a selfish man.
she discovered the presence of another gf on last sun when she looked at his mobile phone.
some of her friends already knew of this girl since 2 years back & they didn't tell L because they thought it was just a fling.
she went to confront her bf yesterday after having too much drinks.
he admitted he has a 2nd gf.
he claimed she threw herself at him & he even slapped her to make her back off.
but she still clings on to him.
he doesn't meet her all the time, only occassionally.
he invests most of his time with L & not with the 2nd gf.
all the while, he thought he can't commit & love someone.
so he tried to fool around and wanna know if he really don't love L.
he said he doesn't love the 2nd gf & he feels he is committed to L.
what the heck?! excuses!
he is 2-timing worm!
how could all these crap be happening to L?
it really make no sense.
L wanted to call the 2nd gf & this jerk is fine with it.
he told L to go ahead & let the 2nd gf know of their status since this 2nd gf didn't want to leave him.
no matter how he tried to tell this 2nd gf, she still clings to him.
it is really a wholeload of bullsh*t!
i'm feeling so pissed now that i can't think & type properly.

success?

Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm - Sir Winston Churchill.

i wonder how many of us are able to endure repeated failures?

The road to success runs uphill - Willie Davis.

and do you know how tough it can get to run uphill?

Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing - Dr. Denis Waitley, Speaker and Author

kudos..

it is so cool that JP Fu agrees to solemnize!
she is interesting!
we saw her at connie & jake's solemnization & we kind of like her.
heheee~ connie recommended me to engage JP Fu.
so lucky she is available for our time slot.
she has another ceremony in the evening.
we were trying our luck to see if she is available as 11 nov is a very popular date.
lucky lucky us! =D

now we need to settle our outfits, shoes, invitation cards & photographer.
we hope we are not missing out anything...

check #1d

yes.. finally finalized with our ROM venue!
the place where we are becoming man & wife is at Mezebar.
we will have the whole bar to ourselves on our special day.
took us two weeks to decide on this lovely venue.
we want it to be really special.
don't intend to hold it by the poolside or in a function room.
to us, the solemnization is more important than actual day dinner (which will be at least a year later).

we will need to secure a JP soon..
on a lookout for photographer as UK can't commit due to his in-camp.
anyone has a good & reasonable rates photographer to recommend?

oh yes!! yesterday, we went to IC to attend jake & connie's wedding.
both of them look so stunning!
we love the settings & color theme.
it was gold & white.
their JP seems to be such a jovial lady!
quite patient & she requested for the guests to be silent as the ceremony was starting.
there was a silence of around 1 min and the rest of the guests at the end of the corridor started to talk among themselves.
she had the 'oh dear.. what to do' look as the noise gets louder.
but she continued on as they were already half-way through the ceremony.
i guess that is the problem of a large crowd.
i think they should respect the newly-wedded couple.
oh well...

the wedding favors were white rose-shaped soap & potpourri.
the dishes were yummy, too!
we loved the red bean with lotus seeds & lily bud dessert!
can consider this hotel for our actual day =)
shall wait till our solemnization is over.
plan one step at a time.

:x

almost fainted this morning while i was waiting for my bus to work.
i was seeing stars & my heart thumped so fast.
it took me quite awhile to reach home.
i had to stop every few steps as i can't breathe properly.
i was breaking out in cold sweat, too..
first time i felt this way..
아이고..
when i finally reached home, i had the vomitting urge.
i threw up my breakfast & my EPO.
sheesh... now then i know the EPO is so bitter!
yucks!
i think i know why i felt so sick this morning..
it should be the 4 caps of EPO that i've taken before i head out.
initially i was having very bad cramps & i thought it will ease the pain ASAP.
duhz... instead it made me sick.
too much of something is bad. bad. bad.
lucky i didn't faint on the streets..

all right... let's have something to cheer up a bad day.

transformers

*gasp* i realised i didn't blog about this movie when i first watched it.
how could i?!
lol~ this IS the best movie i've seen so far.

would you choose Protect or Destroy upon reaching this awesome movie site?
watched it for the 2nd time as the girls didn't get to watch it as they were holidaying in Aust.
so glad that they love it, too =)
watching it at Lido was a horror.
we all know how bad the seats are.. but we are left with no choice.
most cinemas were fully booked.
a few blokes in the 4th row kept talking when the movie was starting.
it was lucky they shut up soon after.
what else that is next that can be so bad?
this girl behind me kept shifting & knocking into my seat.
it happened not once, not twice but 10 times.
yes.. i counted.
i was so irritated that by the 4th time, i turned around to look at her.
she stopped for awhile & not long after, it started all over again.
i was darn pissed as i'm trying to enjoy a good movie.
i tried so hard to ignore her as i didn't want to spoil the mood of other movie-goers.
i would have told her off.
there were so many of us who were feeling so cramped up but we don't even fidget like what she did.
to the extent of affecting others.
it was torturous to watch movie with constant knocking at my seat.
not going back to Lido ever again.
she ought to consider revamping her cinemas.
used to enjoy movies at Lido & Cathay when i was a little kid.
fond memories..
a good thing that Cathay did something & now she is such a magnificent theatre.
as for Lido.. a pity...

check #1a

RH won both of our hearts.
even laura was impressed. lol!
hmmm.. she does not have a room stay in her package.
need to pay $190++ if we want to get a night stay.
good location, reasonable pricing, yummy dishes selection & thoughtful co-ordi =)
she took the initiative to ask us if we drive and she went to get us a complimentary ticket.
NOT like El*** of PR :x
RH vs PR -> RH wins hands down!

after viewing RH, we went to Tao's for dinner.
excellent food & service =)
the dinner is $28.80++.
bacon mushroom gratin
love its creamy taste!
the toast was awesome, too!


bbq pork ribs
holy~~ it's better than cafe cartel's..


lamb chops
terence & eric had this.
hmm... i'm not a lamb fan.
the guys commented it was tender & juicy.


grilled flouder with cheese
laura loved it!
i think it is too cheesy... :x


pumpkin soup
i can't stop raving about it!
it won the hearts of non-pumpkin lovers like laura & terence.
lol~


creme brulee

check #1

is searching for suitable locations for ROM.
we have emailed to at least 15 locations & now we have shortlisted 4.
geez~ i reckon their packages are subjected to sudden changes.
yesterday evening, we went down to PR.
we were so shocked when the rep told us that the minimum # of guests is 50 instead of 30 as it was stated in her proposal last fri.
another bomb is the one day stay in the hotel is not in the package anymore.
it is subjected to availability on the day itself.
need to check with management on it.
need to find our own decor & we must liaise with the florist on our own.
reason? to save our cost as we do not have to go through PR as the middle-men.
we think it is more like can't-be-bothered attitude.
WTH?!
the wedding planners are supposed to plan all these stuffs right? T_T
this hotel was initially in my #2 choice slot.
after hearing the 'changes' & looking at the pavilion..
decision: PR.

as for our #1 choice MC, we decided to forgo her as well.
read alot of very negative feedbacks on this hotel for her wedding planners.
inflexible & not very responsible when things messed up.
besides, we were at MC over the weekend & we saw a post-solemnization.
it is by the pool.
lots of guests were swimming & noisy kids running around.
not much privacy huh?
there is not even a day room from what i found out.
have to request for a room if we need one to dump our stuffs.
i read that a couple was given a hospitality room.
what is this room?
AKA public laundry room!
T_T
with all the bad bad comments, MC.

keeping my fingers & toes for the 2 remaining hotels.
we hope we will not hear of sudden changes.
don't like rude shocks.

i'm so proud of my friend =)
taking the 1st step towards success.
i believe she can do it!
all of us have hidden strengths which we are unaware of.
look deep down inside ur heart & ask what do u REALLY want to achieve in ur life.
be a somebody!
don't be a nobody.
our success is determined by our thoughts & actions.
do u want to wake up & dread going to work?
or u want to wake up & feel fresh like an energiser bunny?
remind urself everyday & soon u will find urself on the way to success!

there's a saying of ' a journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.'
i agree totally BUT it has to be in the right direction.
=)

ready to be polished

met up with michelle, an A.M. of another agency.
we will be having some sharings before we collaborate in aug for the roadshow.
her team is all girls + 1 guy.
as for our side, it is all guys + 1 girl.
lol.. we were kidding about switching of agents.
michelle is such a bubbly person & she is 3 years younger than me.
gosh.. & she is doing so well.
she told me i will be in star club.
to be honest, i was overwhelmed.
most of the people i've met, they've told me of my capabilities.
i guess they can see it from their years of experience.
i'm unaware of it.
i lack that bit of confidence.
i always back off when i learn of some stuffs during fact find.
must drill it into my head on what is my purpose in this career.
my purpose in life is to help my friends to get protection coverage.
with protection, wealth will accumulate.
health = wealth.
always remember that.

strive & persevere to all of us.

we must always aim for the sky.
why?
because if we fall, we will land on the clouds.

want a lemon?

ROFL
spark up your day with babies & lemons!
squirming facial expressions = priceless

unprofessional

don't you know what goes around comes around?
i'm NOT going to stoop to your level of handling matters.
i've made it very clearly to P on his choice, not once, not twice but trice.
he understood & agreed with his choice.
i didn't force him.
he, himself called me up, & wanted to get the paperwork done.
it makes me wonder how professional you are to come up with such 'suggestions'.
with your experience in this field, you ought to know clients' decisions is the ultimate.
i've NEVER force my clients to take up plans.
it is my responsibility to highlight to my clients on their decisions.

i guess i know why i feel lousy.
1st, i got a sms from a good friend that upset me. (finally replied me after so long).
shortly after, i got the call from P on what C has suggested.
it is a double blow.
sometimes i wonder why do i care so much about how others feel.
should i continue to be the way as i am?
have they thought of how i would feel?

has sincerity & integrity disappear from most people?

build-a-bear workshop

i'm having this =D smile on my face!
went for lunch with colin & jamie at Millenia Walk.
while i was going back to office, i saw this build-a-bear workshop at Suntec City.
it is such a cuddly shop!
u get to customise ur bears!
they have hello kitty, monkeys, dogs, turtles, too.
u select the soft toy u like, fill it up, fluff it, select its outfit, name it & viola! a new toy is born!
it has a birth certificate too! =D
so fun!

좋아?

well... if it was 1 year ago, maybe i will be elated at this news?
난 그 소식을 듣고 우쭐댔다?
J called me up & told me he is working in 이민우's company.
yes...이민우.
my fav 신화 member's entertainment company.
he is pretty much involved in the marketing dept.
so he is back in the entertainment line...
mixed feelings?
i don't know.
i'm proud to know 오빠 is working so closely with 민우.
but somehow... i'm not going to let this affect what i am doing.
i've been through so much..
i know 오빠 will help me to go to Korea but no..
my work & my family is far more important.
what i can say is..
오빠 고마워요..
난 진짜 감동해요..
화이팅!

why

do people act in such a manner?
i agree my friends will feel weird why i called them out of the blue.
honestly, i lost most of my contact numbers when i lost my mobile.
for some, i managed to get their contact numbers back from a kind old friend who used to be in same industry as me.
i can tell from the tone that some of them are really hostile.
maybe i called at the wrong time?
maybe they were in a bad mood?
maybe they have the wrong impression?

it does get to me at times that my friends will think that i'm only trying to get them to purchase a health, investment or retirement plan.
i take it as a sharing session to inform them of the various products my company has to offer.
it is also a catching up time.
most of us have lost touch since graduation.

i didn't force these plans down their throats..
if they don't get a plan, does it mean i will not treat them as friends anymore?
no... that is never the case.
the friendship we share is not based on selling & buying.
i see the importance of proper financial planning.
it is crucial to think of our future.
our future is NOT as far as what we deem it to be.
think of me as a finacial designer who meets ur needs.
don't see me as a $ sucking person.
i never believe in hard selling.
it is very wrong...

my purpose in this career is to share with you the importance of proper planning.
sharing & caring for friends are some of the things i value in my life...
guess not everyone feel the same way as me.
i'm very thankful to my friends who give me a chance to share..
thank you.. <3

shameful

yes, i am.
this morning, i woke up later than usual to head for work.
i was telling myself i'm not hauling my heavy laptop today, so i can afford to catch more sleep.
it was still very crowded when i boarded the mrt.
the 1st thing i noticed was a pair of worn out shoes.
these belonged to a girl, i think, aged 17 or 18.
she was busy rummaging through her big bag.
after awhile, she picked out a sweet & mp3 player.
she brought it very near to her face to look at them.
the indian, who was standing just a few inches away, started to stare into her face for at least 2 minutes.
he kept looking at her.
do you know why?
because she is partially blind.
i only came to realise it when i saw her walking stick that was tucked behind her slim arm.
i think she sensed someone staring at her, besides.. she is not totally blind.
she COULD see that idiot staring into her face.
it was really rude of him to stare so hard :(
she turned into my direction & i saw that her eyes were cloudy.
as if there was a layer over her eyes...
at that moment, i felt sorry for her.
the beautiful, colorful sights that she could not see clearly...
i do admire her courage.
she is attending ITE, from the school uniform & lanyard she wears.
she didn't give up to get a good education.
i complained at times about my heavy laptop.
after i saw this girl.. i realised how fortunate i am.
she carries a schoolbag and a laptop too..
we know how heavy a laptop is.
it is difficult for her to handle 3 items...
at times, i complained about some minor things.
i guess it is because i'm taking things for granted.
most of us take things for granted.
we need a wake-up call to realise we are so much more fortunate.
we shouldn't be critical of the things around us.
be more appreciative of what we have.
some people do not get to have the small little things that we have been taken for granted all these times.

rocher


i love this!
these taste sooooooooooo much better than the ones i got from the ordinary stores.

미녀는 괴로워

i like 200 pounds beauty =)



natural vs plastic.
right or wrong?
i see it as nothing wrong & i don't look down upon them.

hate it when people say "Oh.. looks is not important. character is more important."
that is bullsh*t.
what is the 1st thing that humans notice in the first 10 secs upon meeting someone?
the face.
which means.. it is our looks.
so screw those superficial people.
not everyone is born as a natural beauty, be it a guy or girl.
ALWAYS love yourself for who you are.
it is your life & if you feel that by going for plastic surgery makes you more confident in other aspects of your life, go for it.
the most important is you must not regret your decision.
or hurt yourself or someone in the process.
there is no turning back once you go under the knife.
so... think very carefully.

happy birthday


to my dearest friend, don =)
a day late.. :x
by the time i got back to SG, it was past midnight.
glad to know u had a fabulous time ;)

my vacation was fun!
i hate the flying coaster though.
got a bad headache after that.
the outdoor theme park is so so.
i think my expectations a little too high.
my fav is still Japan's Disneyland =)

casio was not bad, a tad too smokey for me :x
didnt gamble, more like a spectator.
my dear is good at roulette! ;)
i see so many old folks there, especially at the Jackpot!
i think they can spend an entire day sitting in front of the slot machines.

i would say it was enjoyable & the weather was good.
however, we might not consider this place again.
it's more for gambling, not our cup of tea.

a short trip is refreshing =)

vacation

looking forward to it though it's just nearby =)
never been on a trip just by the two of us.
need to recharge our lives.

blissful that we have sorted things out.
let's work hard hand in hand to pave our future <3

If an angel is someone who's so filled with love,
It's a gift that they constantly share...
If an angel is someone who looks out for others,
And gives them a nudge here or there...
If an angel is someone who touches your life
With a heart that's both joyful and wise...
Then even though you don't have halo or wings,
You're an angel in human disguise

rest in peace

my deepest condolences to the deceased of massacre of Virginia Tech Uni.
a very shocking news.
this state is known to be very lax about their guns licensing.
they ought to do something about it.
it also made me ponder hard how violent koreans can get.
when it comes to love.
or would i say jealousy.
i rem i read an article recently about a korean couple who got into dispute when the guy suspected his gf to be dating another guy.
the angry guy climbed into his gf's apartment & slashed her.
this is insane.
too much love turns into hate?

to my soul mate

somehow, out of all the twists and turns our lives could have taken, and out of all the chances we might have missed, it almost seems like we were given a meant-to-be moment ~ to meet, to get to know one another, and to set the stage for a special togetherness.

when i am with you, i know that i am in the presence of someone who makes my life more complete than i ever dreamed it could be. i turn to you for trust, and you give it openly. i look to you for inspiration, for answers, and for encouragement, and ~ not only do you never let me down ~ you lift my spirits up & take my thoughts to places where my troubles seem so much farther away and my joys feel like they're going to stay in my life forever.

i hope you'll stay forever, too. i feel like you're my soul mate. and i want you to know that my world is reassured by you, my tomorrows need to have you near, so many of my smiles depend on you, and my heart is so thankful that you're here.
- Carey Martin

for 2 nights in a row is bad :x
we were at MOS's members' area, which is a good thing.
the dance floor was packed like sardines.
it was great talking to jason though he was already quite high.
robin & him drank quite a bit.
amazing to know he was a star club qualifier for 2 years. =)
a pity he left our company already.
if not, i can seek more advise from him.
i'm remembering his words to work very hard in our industry.

yest, we went to watch 300 1st.
a bloody movie. guys will love it.
adrenalin rush for them.
then to Billard Bar at Fort Canning Park.
a nice place to chill out.
we had free mixers for our Southern Comfort.
we can go from playing 5-10 to pool to watching the match of Chelsea vs Sheffield United.
5-10 is the deadly game. lol~
repeated offenders had to drink our formulated drink! XD

feel so good to chill out after a long week~

i'm going to fight very very hard to achieve my goals!

was almost late for work today as i went to post something.

my friendships mean alot to me, much more than i've ever thought...
due to my poor management of $, i couldn't shower much gifts to my buds years back.
some of u might say it is not necessary to give presents.
in my eyes & heart, i'd love to show my appreciation through small gifts.
these may not be very expensive or of branded quality..
however, these represent my warm thoughts of u.
these are given to u from the bottom of my heart.
i want my bud to be truly happy =D
always remember that...
all of us will be there for u <3

zoo

raining cats & dogs when we were at the zoo.
it was a great pity that we can't see the special hog show.
that was my main objective to be there.
ah! i want to comment on the drooling horse!
a trail of sticky drool dripped from the horse's mouth!
after that, it licked it up.
ewwwww!
didn't get to see alot of animals as it rained too heavily.
nevertheless, it was pure joy!
to be in my most relaxed & silly state =P
truly to be myself <3
i'm feeling so delighted that my bud enjoyed the day, too.
perky perky!
till now, i still fantasied about working in the zoo =P

music & lyrics is such a pretty film.
love the songs, not to mention drew barrymore.
her outfits are <3
hugh grant is charming!
'pop! goes my heart' is so retro!
i adore the scenes when they collaborated on writing 'way back into love'.
sweet =)
love is about complimenting & bringing the best out of each other.
the soundtrack is worth listening to. =)

these are my fav scenes quotes:

Sophie Fisher: [Moves chair]
Alex Fletcher: What are you doing, you madwoman, you're wrecking my apartment!
Sophie Fisher: Well, I can't write sitting all the way across the room.
Alex Fletcher: No, go back to your corner!
Alex Fletcher: ...Fine, alright.
Alex Fletcher: I'm blocked. How am I supposed to get out?
Sophie Fisher: Go out the other side.
Alex Fletcher: But...but...I've never been out the other side.

Alex Fletcher: The best time I've had in the last fifteen years was sitting at that piano with you.
Sophie Fisher: That's wonderfully sensitive... especially from a man who wears such tight pants.
Alex Fletcher: It forces all the blood to my heart.

Alex Fletcher: [start of Way Back Into Love Demo Version] Way Back Into Love, take one.
Sophie Fisher: I-uh-I'm getting really nervous.
Alex Fletcher: You'll be fine, just use your normal, nice voice that I've heard... so much over the last three days.
Sophie Fisher: It's like, ugh, my throat's closing up. It's, like, anaphylactic.
[cough]
Alex Fletcher: It's fine, it's just a three minute song.

met colin for lunch at Beppun Menkan Japanese Noodles.
the noodles are succulent!
we can get to pick the spicy rating =P
i picked 1 chili. haha~
2 chilis is already too spicy for me ^^;

in the evening, met up with josh for dinner at Aglio Olio at tanjong pagar.
prior to dinner, 2 sweet japanese girls came up to us to ask for directions to Blue Ginger.
as both of us are not too sure, josh went to search while i waited with both of them.
they were quite shy initial.. but i broke the ice =P
it was their 1st time in Singapore & they will be flying back to Kyoto tonight.
they would love to spend more time in Singapore but they don't have enough $.
one of them even said i look like a japanese. lol
they were delighted to know both of us had been to Tokyo & love their homeland =)
as josh still can't figure out where Blue Ginger is, he finally called the restaurant.
the staff offered to come over to lead the 2 japanese girls the way.
that's good service =)
kekee~ going to try blue ginger someday.
heard of their big name long time back~
peranakan food is part of my heritage <3
