Go, go, go... where?

I am getting a bit brain dead recently... Sometimes I want to blog, but hasn't got the time. When I do have the time, my ideas have ran off and hide somewhere. I'm beginning to forget my German, how did it even sound like... sometimes I have to think twice and try so hard to recall. I got myself a new cheap digital watch, considering my last 3 proper good watches are all gifts - 2 Swatches and 1 Seiko. Now I am quite happy I have bought myself a brandless but cool looking one, ha! A recent good news has died down, my dream of going traveling and be seen by billions... oh well, I know there's always another way and a proper one for me to do so. Backpacking again? Mmmm... Looking forward to plan another short holiday, argh, don't get envious!! I'm not that rich, I just need another break, I need to feel autumn and not just cold wet rain in Singapore. When?? I have no plans yet. I have gathered the courage and submitted my resignation as planned (last Friday) and now I have only 1 more week left to go... Time flies, yeah really... I'm planning my next move, where to??? I shall keep that a mystery till time tells :)))

Growing zoo

Tommy has a new companion, a lovely-to-cuddle panda imported from Hong Kong - thanks to my sister!

可怜的袋鼠 - I pity the kangaroos

I can't imagine I'm biting it off... that piece of kangaroo meat in my hand! My colleague returns from a work trip and has proudly treated us a packet of kangaroos' meat. They look like our Chinese barbeque meat which we have lots during the Chinese New Year. Eating those poor kangaroos sounds so cruel, I just saw them at the zoo the other day. So sad that now I'm actually eating them! As I eat a few more, I'm feeling more sinful.... STOP!!! I still want to think of those cute brown animals hopping around in two legs not as edible as they are right now.

他们都问我为何不等拿了四个月后的花红才远走高飞呢？我的心已定，我毫不犹豫地说：“不拿了，我才不要!" 想想。。。 有点不像我啊，如果我还是以前的我，有钱我哪会不要呢！！ 但是今日不如往日了，钱对我来说已经失去了它的意义！ 钱只能带来诱惑，贪念，许多的不快乐与不知足！它能带来的只是那么短暂的幸福, 而真正的幸福是在我们的心底。我不要为钱而活，我要为自己而活！

Life is funny... Life is like a merry-go-round... You go round and round, circles and circles, but yet every second every minute you're looking at a different sight. Even though you go in circles and you assume you look at that same person over and over again, you never realised nothing can be the same because time hasn't stopped for a second.

Yet so many of us can be going in circles and circles... before one day we do realise, that someone by our side is not the same anymore. Or someone you once pursued can again be the person closest to you again. I saw this happened to one of my friends... whom once poured his heart out to me about this girl who rejected him. Yet today, 8 years later, she has become someone important in his life again. This is how irony life is.

Life never fails to amuse me wih many of its funny tricks... I like it because of how unpredictable it is, just like my future!

Good O' time

Hours ago, I just re-lived my life as a 15 years old... 10 years ago. I was suddenly the class treasurer again, and my chairman was there. 1/3 of the class was present. It was a very pleasant dinner and very well spent with some of our lost-and-found classmates.

It is quite a success considering that we had 13 out of the expected crowd of 14. I must credit this to the dearest ex-chairman and of course me, for bringing this up some weeks ago;) It has been some years since many of us met and everything has changed, so have everyone. We have now, not the 16 years old, but all the working adults - young men and women. It is nice to know how everyone is getting on with their life and sharing the past experiences...:)

What could be better than a bunch of old friends?

Dearest Joy,

18 things I shall miss about my dear friend since her leaving for USA almost 12 hours ago... As I saw her walking through the departure gate and waving goodbye at us, I felt her excitement and nervousness. Exactly how I felt 2 years ago (also in August) when I left Singapore for London. I thought she would be feeling the very same things...

I shall miss...
your sweetness;
your hamster eyes;
your cheerful smile;
your perky bum;
your lizard tattoo;
your friendliness and warmth;
your love and kindness;
your patience and understanding;
your "hindi-style" dress sense;
your discipline for sports & trekking;
your devotion to God;
your passion for animation;
your love for Ben&Jerry ice-cream;
watching your church play and singing;
going swimming together;
our FAB 4 "crapping" on msn;
our FAB 3 (and FAB 4) outings for the last months (and years);
you blushing after a glass of Snowball.

Whereever you are, no matter how far apart, how much time difference... there will be us. And we will be thinking of you :)))

Running against time

Feeling a little breathless, a little tired, a little aimless... like a marathon runner on a never ending race;
Feeling a little lost, a little scared, a little confused... like a toddler who lost her mummy among the crowd;
Feeling a little more optimistic, a little happier, a little courageous... like a baby bird learning how to fly...

Time is running out or is life becoming increasingly short as the days go by... I feel old somehow. I still have so much I want to pursue, can I, should I... leave behind everything I have??? May I do that?? I don't know where it is leading me but somehow I see the light leading me to another direction... into this fog, this mist... where I can't see anything but try to feel the way through. How scary, how exciting... It is time I should go :?

\Light"-heart`ed\ (-h[aum]rt`[e^]d), a. Free from grief or anxiety; gay; cheerful; merry

Besides watching snow fall from the sky... there's another thing that never fails to amuse me. That is listening to Flirty @ 930 - UK radio... I'm giggling, smiling, feeling sad or happy for them all the time. The wonder of love is always affecting me, or well, theirs...

A monday has never been this good

For a long time, a Monday hasn't seemed this bright, this cheerful - like the one I had yesterday!

Maybe it is due to the fact that this week I'm officially OFF except two and err... 1/2 to 3/4 working days. A short meeting on Monday morning, however, has brought about a mess to my social life. I've properly planned a wonderful day out on Saturday with my "girlies" to do KTV... BUT just one decision made from the boss, I've to give it a miss! I really do not enjoy how it is affecting my personal life, even the permanent night shift hasn't given me enough breathing space. HELP!!! The initial idea of doing Sunday shift has now shifted to Saturday... so this weekend, I'll be on on a Saturday instead of Sunday, but this is not going to last any longer... Good change is about to come, into my life :)))))))

Secondly, the 'big' first project I am doing is going to launch at midnight today... It's not a major project considering that I had only 4 days to design the page, plan the usability, get the template up, do some javascript... AND at the same time I get thrown with more of other shit to do as well... Very glad though that now everything is almost done except waiting for my colleagues to put up the up-to-date content tonight :)))))))

My 'incompetent' colleague has also showed an improvement in his working attitude and abilities after the confrontation and my 'lecturing' emails. I think I was guiding more than lecturing really. Now, he is able to handle work and not be totally dependent on me, as if I was his 'mama' and a designer assigned to work only on his shit. This is good news, isn't it... I'm happy not only for myself but for the company whom has hired him! :)))

Last night, we had a farewell dinner for my good mate - a bunch of us whom used to play regular beach volleyball. But it has all died down - that passion :(( The good thing is we still catch up once in a while, everyone whom is busy with their "money-earning" lives are once again reunited at the dinner. We had good food at Marche, followed by Ben & Jerry ice cream ;)))))))))

Today is my mummy's birthday, I have my day off from work, also bought a tub of lemon sorbet... mmmm, later we will have a peppermint cake. How nice!!
