6 NOVEMBER

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 18:00:20 GMT

There are some things in life that you hold on so close to, but as time pass by, you realise it's simply a passe. For the first time after so long, realising some things over time, I'm truly happy for you. And this is the only feeling I have.

Have a good one this year, and happiness stays with you.

Happy birthday.

6TH YEAR

November has always been a special month and it will always be. A month before Christmas with lotsa happenings.

NIGHT

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 11:29:49 GMT

I came across this magnificent picture of the Singapore night scenic view and thought it's really, really beautiful. Perhaps it's because it featured my favourite place, which is one where I'm able to see One Fullerton.

City Hall has always been and will always be a favourite place of mine. This place holds alot of things, events after events. It's one of the romantic corners of Singapore, at least in my opinion.

Isn't this beautiful??

I have to say that God is doing tremendous work in my life, ever since I went back to church. All the time I've been praying but I have to admit I wasn't much of a church goer. Since this year, with special thanks to my colleague who brought me back to church, life has been amazing.

By making God my business partner, my business have suddenly prospered. On top of that, just now, my family and I were by the roadside waiting for a cab. There was another family who cut our queue and went just in front of us. And they did it right in front of our eyes. We, being nice and civilised, let them cut. But guess what? A cab came and instead of stopping in front of that family, the cab driver chose to stop in front of us instead.

Isn't God great? Today's been a smooth day. :)

And today is bunny's birthday! Though he's far far away in Majorca, Spain (yes, where the boyzone member died), I hope he enjoys his day and bring a nice present back for me. Wahahah..... Instead of me giving him his birthday present. Ok, totally kidding, I got a present for him definitely.

Lately though busy, sometimes late nights do have some leisure time. There was a night I kinda miss the night scene a little, and it was really last minute that I asked Ben Ben whether he would like to go for a drink. He said ok, and I brought him to New Asia Bar since he's never been there. Yup, another place at City Hall. The view is gorgeous but our lousy phone cameras couldn't really take nice pics. There, we got to know some Thai girls. They're really really fun to be with. Perhaps when we have a chance we will ask them out.

Padron the quality, It's bad. On the 71st storey of Swissotel.

I had my favourite margarita and Ben had maritni.

Ben Ben!

Ona's sister, Ona, Ben & Me.

I look like lobster. Lol... I always turn red when I drink.

Last week had a dinner with Uncle Richard. He;s the one who brought me back to church. We went to Singapore Recreation Club for a dinner by the indoor swimming pool. The food was not too bad. I love the deocoration on the table. A globe.

Some time to camwhore, one of my ex favourite activity. Haha! Still as vain as before. Women hardly change.

I know everything seems really random, that's because I've not been blogging much about my life.

I'm a thinker. I think about alot of things. Everything. Past, present, future. There was a day whereby the Pastor or was it Uncle Richard who preached on this. Sometimes we do not know why certain things happened, and why God planned it this way. There are times the answers we seek for is not revealed to us. Reason being is that God knows we may not be able to handle the truth, therefore some things are better left unknown. This brought me to one thing. Something which I really wanted the truth but have not, and probably never, be going to find out. Suddenly I felt as if something have been lifted. The heavy weight in my heart is no longer there. At times when I do question myself again, I keep thinking about this phrase, and it just makes me feel better. "I may not be able to handle the truth". So, as I grow older each day, each week, month and year, perhaps there will be a time that is ripe and I will know the truth.

November is coming. It's still one of my favourite months. It's a month before Christmas, which is my favourite season, and it's also what I call it, Sweet November. From the movie (Sweet November) to the things that happened in November.

Now, let's havea preview of Christmas. I don't know why, but this year Christmas seems so enchanting, out of nowhere.

These pics are from Victoria's Secret, some years back. Bringing it back and have guys eyeballs dropping.

I love the sexily clad babes, with the fur, angels, snow and all.

Gorgeous gorgeous!

Victoria's Secret is so on my list. Perhaps I will buy something from VS for my own Christmas present this year. It's always a tradition, to buy something for myself to mark the end of the year and to celebrate Christmas. Talk about early Christmas shopping eh?

Haha.... Sweet dreams peeps. I'm gonna do other stuffs like surfing web.

PRIORITY

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 13:47:25 GMT

Once upon a time in my life, alot of things about me were placed in the number one position in my dearest ones positioning list. Thinking back, it's not that long ago, neither can I say it's only a recent thing, that it did happen to me. I knew how to appreciate then, but some things just don't work out as much as you would like to. Things in the present makes me think alot too.

Some things in your life you can't change it, and you're hoping so much to change the way you are to make sure mistakes don't get repeated. As unfair as it sounds to the victim, I can only say we grow up. We want to do the right things right, and how the wrong things can be turned right. However, along the way, disllusion comes into the picture, and you start to wonder whether what you're doing is really right or wrong. You start to question yourself so much so that it's a pain to even think about it.

No two people is the same. Just like how I always tell my clients too. No two consultants are the same. I cannot expect the same type of treatment from different people. Does it all boil down to expectations set?

As you grow older, does it also mean your expectations must be lowered so that you'll live happier? Is it really true to be contented with the things or people you have? But then again, the problem can simply lie in me.

What does it mean to be truly happy?

Happiness is defined as a state of mind or feeling characterized by contentment, love, satisfaction, pleasure, or joy. It's a mixed emotion isn't it? To feel love, contentment, joy..... I would like to experience that once again. However, seems like the older I get, with more experiences in life, it makes me feel more vulnerable, and I want to protect myself even more. I'm not even sure sometimes whether or not certain things should I be upset about. I can choose to brush things off. I can confront it. Yet I have no idea what I really want to do. And the day just skip by, leaving me in doubt.

I read the content in this blog entry. I'm not even sure what I'm trying to say. Guess I'm having mix emotions at this point of time. Ignore me.

TO MY BB, YES YOU...

In response to the ugly truth comment, as per in our own blog :)

THE UGLY TRUTH

Sun, 27 Sep 2009 14:54:23 GMT

After a hectic week, today is a time for rest and relax and to recharge. Woke up at 10 plus, went for church service at 12.30pm, then lunch and headed to Vivocity to catch The Ugly Truth as well as to buy bb's client's present and mooncakes for our families.

I enjoyed today's service very much. Pastor Kong shared on the promises we make to our dearest and "My word is my bond". It's a good reminder of how we tend to say things but we don't mean it, how we say we will do things but don't do it.

So, The Ugly Truth. It's a pretty good movie I must say. It got my eyes glued from the beginning. And oh, this is my faourite scene, where this guy (Colin) whom the lead dated brought her to the forest and had a picnic there. He drove her in a convertible. It was damn cool. Plus he gorgeous and by gorgeous, he don't look like the type who looks like a cassanova. I know right, I'm judgemental but well, it's a job thing, when you have 3 seconds to decide if you like this person enough to become your client. Though some times I may be wrong too after talking to the person for long. Oh well.... first impression counts. Anyway, here's the part which I love.

A gorgeous rich man who seems really lovely brings girl out for a picnic. Woo!

Handsome not? Lol....

Anyway, after the movie, bb asked me who will I prefer to go out with, the gorgeous Colin or the lead, Mike. I paused for a while before replying. I would prefer Colin.

Reasons:

1) Mike is way too flirtatious to my liking

2) Mike though charismatic (and I do like charismatic guys), is back to point number one. Too flirtatious and he anyhow smacks people's butts!

3) Colin seems really sweet.

4) Colin looks suave.

Anyway, this is what is portrayed in the movie. What I really dig in guys are these qualities:

1) Caring

2) Attentive

3) A gentleman

4) Great in communication

5) Sweet

6) Listen

7) Thinks with their heart. I repeat, with their heart, not their head.

8) Gives in to me. Not all the time if I'm not reasonable, but I do have expectations.

Opps, I'm divulging too much. Later some guy comes along and use these to hook me up how? Lol! Just kidding! I think it's the basic qualities which most girls will want. No doubt there will be some who wants their partner to be rich, good-looking and what not, it's a bonus to have but not necessarily the core.

Ok, I think it's time for bed anyway. Tomorrow I will need to be up early.

Lastly, thanks by sweetie b, who bought the delicious mooncakes for my family from Home Favourite. :)

DREAMS

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 15:33:50 GMT

It's funny how dreams can manipulate your life. When the fake becomes too real, when the real don't wanna be real.

It's breaking me.

MY PRETTY LAVA LAMP

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 14:22:49 GMT

First, gonna thank my bb for letting me put my pretty lava lamp at his place, coz my mum will nag at me if I were to put it at my place. Also, for the good Friday cheer he brought me when I felt depressed. He cheered me up by bringing me to a place I've been wanting to visit since a long time ago, Double Bay at Raffles City Shopping Centre. We had healthy drinks. Non alcoholic. I had mango juice while he, apple juice.

We had a long long chat and I felt alot better after talking to him. You're appreciated my lovely bb.

Love this picture. Mini cooper parked at the reserve lot, in front of Raffles Hotel, while us, sitting at Double Bay sipping our drinks.

My bb slanted together with his drink.

Mademoiselle :)

Lastly, the lava lamp story. I lit it up, the rest was history. Bb fell in love with it. Heh....

Shall look forward to this weekend and let's enjoy the pretty lamp together.

Sidetrack a little, I love this picture Liangliang took.

He's in the States right now as a pilot trainee, and we sent him a birthday gift, attaching a card plus a picture of us, to tell him we're doing fine in Singapore. Awaiting for your return Liangliang!

He's the life party in bb's group and somehow whenever bb have gathering with his friends, something seems to be missing in the picture. I guess it's his amazingly lameness that brings the laughter.

Ok, time for bed. Good night!

LOVELY FRIDAY

Sun, 06 Sep 2009 07:29:47 GMT

Last 2 days my bb and I decided to take a break from our hectic work schedule to have time for ouselves. Our week is always the same, work, Saturday church, Sunday appointments and back to his place for dinner. Though we do spend time together, but it's just different. I was looking forward to this day pretty much.

On Thursday night we spent it together, Friday morning we had a photoshoot! Not gonna say what photoshoot it is, shall wait till I get the pictures. Stay tune!

As it was raining that day, we didn't manage to take really alot of pictures. Then we were pondering what to do when b decided to go to Kbox. So we sang to our hearts content for Klunch and had a good Japanese curry too, then he went to cut his hair before heading to Vivo.

At the hair salon we camwhored a little. I put up this pic in facebook and Ah Ben commented on this pic. Haha!

Super retro can? The twirling thingy makes me feel nostalgic.

He keeps telling me his hair looks like butch. Honestly I think some butch have got pretty good hairstyles and fashion sense.

Sweetie Us

I think B can be pretty photogenic sometimes.

Oh I mentioned I cut bangs right? See, it's been so long since I take pictures that my fringe have grown to an irritating length that is neither hear nor there so I decided to pin it all up.

While waiting for him to get his hair done.

After his haircut!

At Vivocity, we went to watch Time Traveller's Wife. I quite like Rachel McAdams since Mean Girls, even more so when she's chosen to act in The Notebook. In Time Traveller's Wife, she's looking gorgeous too. Storyline is not too bad, giving it a 7/10.

Then we had dinner at the Greenhouse Cafe, which serves good and cheap western food, and I like the feeling of eating while being surrounded by bears and flowers.

And hey look! There's a vespa!

I like the teddies and I told b we're the bears. The brown one is him and the white is me. We are sharing a seat.

It was a simple and relaxing day. Thank you my dear for this day and we shall work hard towards the future. All the down times which we meet in the career shall fade and f*** off soon! Haha!!!

We've been attending church quite regularly and our dinner is always at Subway. So on Sat after service while having dinner at Subway, I saw a girl with head accessories. In fact in our cell group, a lady by the name of Dee always put on head accessory which I think makes the whole look very chic. Anywayz, somehow the head accessory on that gal didn't look all that great. And today, while logging on to msn, they've this in the headlines. Trends for tresses. I like this Pairs Hilton look very much.

The next 2 isn't too bad as well. I saw it at Acessorize and have been keeping my itchy fingers from buying. I won't really have a chance to wear it anyway but it's really pretty!

So maybe I will go and buy it tomorrow cos I got inspired by the celebs so much. Teehee!

Sidetrack, I came across this song which you're hearing now, it's by Colbie Caillat, Falling For You. I love this song!

Colbie Calliat- Falling For You

I don’t know but
I think I maybe
Fallin’ for you
Dropping so quickly
Maybe I should
Keep this to myself
Waiting ’til I
Know you better

I am trying
Not to tell you
But I want to
I’m scared of what you’ll say
So I’m hiding what I’m feeling
But I’m tired of
Holding this inside my head

I’ve been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don’t know what to do
I think I’m fallin’ for you
I’ve been waiting all my life
and now I found ya
I don’t know what to do
I think I’m fallin’ for you
I’m fallin’ for you

As I’m standing here
And you hold my hand
Pull me towards you
And we start to dance
All around us
I see nobody
Here in silence
It’s just you and me

I’m trying
Not to tell you
But I want to
I’m scared of what you’ll say
So I’m hiding what I’m feeling
But I’m tired of
Holding this inside my head

Oh I just can’t take it
My heart is racing
The emotions keep spinning out

I can’t stop thinking about it
I want you all around me
And now I just can’t hide it
I think I’m fallin’ for you (x2)

I’m fallin’ for you

Ooohhh
Oh no no
Oooooohhh
Oh I’m fallin’ for you

It's a lazy Sunday. I finished my appointment already, now waiting for bb to come my place for dinner. I'm gonna go watch Mean Girls now. Hee!

THE FINEST THINGS IN LIFE

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 13:45:36 GMT

Today, after my appointment which is like at Yew Tee, darn far from my home, I had the priviledge to take on a long journey back. Sometimes I enjoy such solitude, because you get to appreciate and think about lots of things.

I begin to thank God for making things work out, in terms of everything in my life right now. I know perseverance is key, but sometimes emotions do get the better of me. I thank him for the God send Angels that came into my life along the way, and somehow there's this surge of generosity to give. While walking the underpass at Yishun, there's this old man selling tissues and another old man playing an instrument. I gave them both money. It's the good things that happen to me that spurs me to give to the society. Ask yourself honestly, how many times have you do that little bit to lift a person's spirit? I feel very happy giving. Though it's not a substantial amount, but well, at least something.

As I took a bus ride home, I had the chance to peep out the window and enjoy the scenery in Singapore. No doubt our scenery can't be compared to many other countires out there, but it's good enough. I love to be a passenger. You need not have to check the mirror once in a while, you can sleep if you want to and best of all, you get to enjoy the views. Although no doubt I would really love to get a car, which can be a very SOON thing, but oh well, the luxury of the simple things which makes me happy may be taken out of my life!!

I proceed on the journey, while reading this book which I borrowed today. It's titled

The title may sound a little depressing but it's really about a woman who stand on her feet despite losing the so-called fairytale husband which turns out none of it is true. That's the fact of life. I love her spirit!

Then I was like ywaning all the way not because the book isn't interesting, but I was pretty tired. Finally I alighted at my stop and I love to walk the mini park near my house. As the water shone with the lights shining on it, the breeze was so cooling, I was listening to this Rod Steward's jazz in my mp3 player which is the very song you're listening to it right now. It was so much like Christmas! My favourite season of the year. I know it's only August, but it's coming soon right? Besides, it was really so Christmasy.

Can you imagine spending your holidays here?

That'll be a dream come true!

The whole feel I had today prompted me to write an entry in my otherwise near defunct blog. Many sorries to all my readers, but sometimes it's really taking up my time to blog. I finished my paperwork before I start this entry. Heh...

Oh did I mention I cut my hair and coloured it dark brown (close to black)? I don't think I'll revert to my brown hair for the longest time....

Ok, that's all, good night peeps!
