Simple Thoughts.... Complex Thinking..... In Search For An Answer

~* Saturday, April 29, 2006 *~

 
It's been quite a good week so far... when work ended not too late... as compared to last week and i'm getting the hang of household chores...

Manage to meet with my some close SMU pals for dinner.. and we did some major catch up with who is with who... wedding bells ringing.. our career plans and jobs and all... I haven't laughed this hard for such a long time with those juicy gossips, yirong's whimsical description of recent happenings.. Melvin on leave, so he look super well rested from his holidays... and mel-hair hard at work only coming down for a break and returning to work there after... it feels like back to old smu days.... i miss school......

I also took part in the JP Morgan run along the esplanade area... 5.6km.. it was a good workout for me even though i did brisk walking mostly 90% of the time.. it's quite fun, i'm an events person.. considering my part time job working at events for this event company during my campus days...

My audit team is so funny and it's a great time working for once! Too bad.. i lost my thumb drive, i lent it to someone but when i was looking ard for it.. it's just gone.. does it mean i've to pay for it!?!? it's sooo not justified even though i'm not the one who lost it...

Ivy bought me to this Shop at Chinatown to buy DIY materials to make accessories...... I bought these pearls of white and purple to make necklace and bracelet.. just need to find time to get started!

Then i went to the movies with a bunch of colleagues to watch "The Wild".. it's like combi of "Finding Nemo" and "Madagascar"... it's not too good, so i wouldn't recommend that...

I was down at zouk yesterday with the gang, the crowd is crazy.. had such a hard time getting in.. it's been a while since i hit a hard party, it's fun to hang out with the guyz.. it's just crap crap crapy time! We even went to Boon Tong Kee chicken rice... sooo sedap!

This coming week i'll be on study leave.. heading back to SMU to study at the new city campus, good time to check it out too!.. I way behind time, wat should i do?

I'm seem to be having a really short attention span.. tolerance level... patience, as per msn conversation with... XXX when i asked whether if there is anything wrong with me? It seems that i'm either pissing pple off or they'll just a thorn in my flesh...


XXX says:
we both have friends who constantly get on our nerves..
XXX says:
and we have a lot of nerves..
%M@DDY% says:
haha
%M@DDY% says:
maybe i should start developing less...
XXX says:
sever your nerve endings? painful..

So i guess i'm just going to just go about it.. and hope things will turn out for the better... I'm trying trust me! I need to breath more... maybe some fresh air would help...

This weekend meet up with my closest friends.. it's faith's birthday!! We met up at this project bro cafe.. like the ambience and hip decor... but the food isn't go great.. but then i really had such a good time.. it's like i can be myself again.... and i've been such a pig, i ate everything on my plate + pitaschio cake after.. my stand is now this.. "as long as i can see my toes, i'm not fat"... haha

We were talking abt people getting married... and trying hard to imagine wat we would like to be our own... and what "critiria" we want in our guyz... like how much they must make to afford our dream wedding.. haha... but then... i should really cherish wat i have now..

It ain't going great.. considering it's such a hard time when i'm just sooo busy with so many things that my hands are so full... I'm having a tough time juggling work, friends, famiy, wolfy, household obligations... now i get a rough idea wht working mothers are going thru... well, my baby is wolfy.. hee hee...

I apolygise for my recent negativities and just wish that this week would be better... I'm going for JP morgan run on Wednesday!! Let me know if ya going yeah.. seeya there!

I'm tired but somehow can't manage to get any sleep just yet.. it's just something on my mind.. just can't really put my finger on it...

The night grows darker and darker.. my heart weighs itself down heavier and heavier... I'm thinking about this someone/something that just won't go away...

Wondering if things would be different if it went another way... Long gone but still hangs deep in my soul... it's time to let go and move along... i thot i did... but then again.. did i?

I wonder do i come off as rude or is it i have lousy friends... or are those even friends to begin with.. had an incident with a friend today... over something that's just so stupid... she ask me if i wanna chip in for a gift.. asked if i had any suggestions. I was rushing off to a meeting with the managers and partner.. I actually had the decency to reply saying, "kinda busy now.. dunn leh.. you all decide.. wat's the budget?"... then noticed that she sounded quite pissed, replying me, "My dear, everyone is busy... etc etc".. Gosh! I was shocked but decided to give her the benefit of the doubt and apolygised if i ever sounded rude but i didn't meant it that way...

This evening, again she tell me on the gift they decided on... so i ask if it's over my $XX budget, count me out.. i'll get my own.. trying to pay off my study loan, not busy any shopping in months.. trying my best to eat at low prices places.. as my "sacrifices i gave up/choices i had to make".. saving up to pay for my CPA course.. taking the bus.. going out less.. giving up travelling to places in order to save up... it's tough.. i don't come from a rich family and it's hard when u start to work and have to pay everything on your own... I've never been stingy, at least not with people who i think are worth spending on... maybe that's a clue for ya! Anyway not like u'll ever read my blog.. some friend...

I know you might be going thru the same thing.. but then it's ur choice u made.. why do u even have to put ur own ideas on me.. doesn't mean what u want to get for someone must be wat i need to get for her too?! Gifts comes from the heart.. not some monetary value placed on it. If that's how shallow u are.. go get a life! I didn't even get any birthday gift from u all.. and i'm not even complaining.... b'cos it's doesn't matter...

Friendships are wat i look for.. not gifts or treats... some pple are just... Urgh!! I don't even know if i can make it for dinner... cos why?! Cos of my job.. I don't have a control over wat time i can end.. if you gotta work, ya gotta work!

Friends.. disappointing.. true friends are hard to find.. starting to just give up on the whole idea... maybe they don't exist no more... I know the whole world doesn't revolve ard me.. don't expect it to... then why why do u expect my life to revolve ard urs or any of ur activities?!?!?! Give me a break!

It's a super cheery and bright atmosphere.. it's painted with bright colours of pink, green, yellow.. it's sort of like made me feel like a kid again...

I ordered the sirloin steak.. it's not bad for $12.80.. then add on $3 for soup (so-so), lime juice (just right) and Lychee slurpee l'ike thingy for desert (it's refreshing)... i order tiramisu which was more like chocolate cake.. very dry.. the chocolate mud oooze.. is so smooth.. hot chocolate cake with melted chocolate with vanilla ice cream.. Ooozing chocolate heaven..

My friends tried the other chicken dishes which were not bad.. except the pasta.. super dry... so don't order pasta dishes yeah! Next time i wanna try the coffee and other deserts too! Our CG had a good time.. the place has xin xin written all over, this friend of mine just looks pink.. well.. excessively... haha... but too bad we forgot to take pictures!! Urgh....

Overall, i still say it's a nice place to go for dinner.. just order the right stuff.. Cranberry and Sunflower.. shall we head there next time we meet up? :D

I don't think there is such a word... but i think there should be, how are u suppose to talk abt what it means to be genuine... it'll be called genuinity...

Though it doesn't seem to exist very much nowadays with people.. I wonder if pple really say wat they mean.. when they say, "call me if you need help", "I'll here for you", "I think you're such a great person".. i mean honesty is the best policy but how do you tell people what you really think/feel without offending/hurting them...

It seems that appearance of things are more important than substance... I ponder and think.. and become paronoid and skeptical about what i see/do/hear...

It's just something hanging on my mind this thot.. of the things pple tell me... and yet they're always so out of reach... maybe i'm just keeping the wrong people in mind.... of those who seem to disappear into their own world..

Is it truly that honesty the best policy?... I don't need nice people... or i don't wanna be just a nice person.. i want to mean wat i say and do wat i mean.. only then i will know wat Genuinity really means...

Long weekend!! i've just had such a good week.. despite my HP dropping into the toilet bow.. but heck! It survived!! This week job we only had 4 days to do it but i manage to complete it! and my TIC is so funny and we seem to have alot in common and we even have a common friend!!

We manage to go work early go off early.. lunch time got time to hit the shops somemore.. hee hee.. i had to bring work home to do though.. but heh.. i have no complains!! Client's place a Tampines next to Century square so it's great variety of food.. and a lot of cabs around too!!

If only all my jobs where like that... it makes it worthwhile staying in this line... she say going to book me for her sentosa job too!! wah.. can go underwater world..i really hope i can get it!!

This week is super smooth sailing.. met up with my best friend... no squabbles with Mr so and so.. haha.. and last night had a good dinner and time relieving anything that may have borne me down during the week... and i'm officially a woman who have grown.. i can do housework!! This week i mopped the floor, did the laundry, ironning, cook and wash dishes.. and of cos take care of darling wolfy.. He like suffering from depression, don't eat when no one is at home.. but i can't help it i gotta work!

My perspective on life, work, family, friends have really changed.. even aaron says go... there is just so much more to life and i've found my peace in God.. Life is just amazing! It's like i finally grown up... many of my shallow thots in the past i look back and wonder, "Wat was i thinking?!?!"

Wat I really need to do is to get down studying! But then again.. i'll start tomorrow.. I'm a procastinator! anyway.. i found this Da Bao service where you can order food from any part of Singapore and have it delivered to ur door step.. Hm... looks like i won't have to worry abt food when i'm at tuas.. hee hee... so friends, do check it out!

With the recommendations from canberrymist at Miss Clarity Cafe... a set meal for just $8.80! real value for $$... i'll give ya a review later..

With a massage appointment for tomorrow... it sure feels like a holiday!! Should i take aromatherapy, lympatic, thai or swedish? decision decision decision.. haha.. :P

You Are Animal

A complete lunatic, you're operating on 100% animal instincts.
You thrive on uncontrolled energy, and you're downright scary.
But you sure can beat a good drum.

The weeks is going great... but dunno why i'm still feeling so drained... wonder why? Yesterday i think i caught a cold or something.. felt terrible... so i'm on MC today.. had a well deserved rest at home...

But no doubt i accomplish quite a bit today... I had a rested sleep til 1pm.. feeling much better.. thanks..

I did laundry!.. and even cooking... not a big deal.. i mean it's just porridge.. but i mean i barely cook in my life; apart from BBQs and Home economics lessons during my "O" levels.. Sure beats doing research in office as i'm seconded to the Biz dev unit for the past 2 weeks.. it's just that i don't see much value to it.. then being the person's personal secretary..

You know i meet up with an old friend on monday... it went pretty well.. just doing the normal catching up.. but yet it made me realised alot of things.. like how i've changed.. how different we truely are... and it's like a walk down memory lane... it's like refinding myself and why we meet and why we are the way we are now... You know, there're some people in your life who will always be in it just because they're at the back of your mind now and then...

Now i feel that i've grown so much.. and so many changes in me.. mostly when i started work.. it can really make or break you.. my work is tough shit but i've glad that i'll be able to ride thru it and i know that i need to get thru this and i will get thru anything.. I don't want some easy going job which is from 9 -5pm, it's not abt the money.. it's abt wat i can gain out of it..

I've also have a realisation and i mostly talk about work and all abt work.. i guess it cos it takes up most of my time now.. and it's my main concerns that revolves ard my head and the upcoming exams... u see.. that's why i'm falling sick and in need of the long awaited break..

Meet up with Jeff and Kailing and we were talking abt his upcoming wedding.. Congrats!! it's a whole lot of preparations and at York Hotel.. Seems like i'm some mountain tortise.. it's the one behind Goodwood Park Hotel.. but why haven't i heard abt it?!?! I need to get out more!

Marriage.. it seems so far yet so near... we all earn to find that special someone.. the one that makes us whole.. for some it may be the right one.. the one we truly love.. or the one that's convenient.. or the one that we've know for our whole life... which one then would be "The One"? For Jeff at least... he had already made his choice... and i'm still finding out for myself...

Let's just hold on to this thot for tonight while we sleep.. it's good to have daydreams and imagine what life would be like in the future... hope i get some sweet dreams tonight.. Sleep tight Peeps!

I'm such a pig.. spent the whole day studying.. yet not managing to cover much ground.. barely did pass 5 pages today...b'cos i had to see to wolfy's needs.. to talk on the phone to that one important person.. to watch that show on TV.... to help around the house.. I mopped the floor today!!

Whole day at home and not progressing at all! I'm so frustrated... i'm just so how should i put it.. i'm such a procrastinator!! It just feels that the exams are so far away.... 1 month is still alot of time....

Stoning is my middle name... especially on weekends... it's all i ever wanna do... nothing....

I wanna go out but the guilt from not studying wouldn't make it worth it... just i sulk at home.. Go out and think about my notes not touched.. I'm can't decide... no way i can finish in such short time.. to finish everything to go out.. got it all planned.. finish 3/4 chapters a day and i might complete all 8 chapters a week...

Can someone just give me a push?! Some encouragement pls... moi dying a slow slow death here.. sighz...... it's such a drag..........God pls help me....

Everyone seems to be embarking on some new life.. where their life takes on a new path/turn.. some new that i heard this past few months:

- 3 friends holding their weddings end of this year
- A close gf leaving for a new job
- 1 friend getting engaged
- 2 church friend just proposed last weekend
- 2 friends heading off this year overseas to further studies
- A friend leaving for overseas to work there
- 1 that moved out to live on his own

Everyone is having some big event in their life... mine only gets as exciting as this: we fired our maid... so now i've do to housework.

This is a big thing for me, since i've always had a maid since young.. where i can't operate the washing machine or iron.. but now i'm learning bit by bit... already been doing my own laundry.. it's not something i'm proud of.. not knowing how to do household chores.. but enough said.

I look back at mine and wonder when i'll get the chance to live aboard.. i need to experience a new culture.. to change entirely.. get out of my comfort zone.. to just experience life..

Now life is just a routine of day to day work of learning mandane tasks... long long hours... pressure to ur neck.. and miserly pay that i can barely get by..

With no time and no money, life doesn't get any better with my CPA exam coming up on 4th May... studying while working... is a struggle...

Now with no time for anything.. hence blogging is pretty much a luxury now for me...

At least i know my life here on earth is temporary.. a passage way to prepare for eternity.. then why am i living life the way i do? if time is of essence... it's part of God's perfect plan.. one beyond me to apprehend...

I wish that i'll wake up from this surreal feeling of just doing things... to set my mind right and to just LIVE..
