Me, and the world tt sucks me down. ><

Queen Victoria

If you haven't realized, by now, that I'm into Virgin Queen Elizabeth, chinese emperors & empresses etc, (WHY DON'T YOU KNOW THAT ABOUT ME) you ought to be beheaded.

Something about these people, just fascinates me entirely. & it's not just their riches or their pretty clothes or the powercraze. It's the battles, the struggles that wage inside their individual 'prisons', just clicks inside me. The kind of battles, that is tenfold the normal civilian's.

You know, more often than usual, we judge by what we hearsaysee. We pass comment, we stereotype; as always, the grass is greener on the other side. But i guess that's us; 'always ready to say before we understand' us.

What struck me the most when i caught 'The Young Victoria' today, was the way her mother (under the pressure from her lover) was actually doing V like a fucking marionette. That just hit homerun with me: the lover influencing the mom to control her child.

The things mothers do, in the name of self-proclaimed motherly-love.

It is admirable what V went through the day she claimed the throne till the day she passed on (Albert died at 42!?) . The flick's focus was more on her love life, & the throne. More focus should be on her well-known kinkiness & gigantic appetite!

Heat detectors & temperature-takings
I'm grossed out by the fact that, Influenza A has somehow bypassed all preventive measures, & surfaced in our 5th singaporean host. Undetectably, I.A was air-flown into our sunny shores. Fingers crossed, extra measures will be taken to protect her people. Toes crossed, the medical team will not be overworked, as the previous Code: Yellow.

Keira Knightley is awesome
Atonement was good. Caught it first thing this weekend, along with the rest of the week's recorded shows (Starter wife!) DONCHA JUST LOVE CABLE. WOOO

UP next! Drag me to hell maybe?
Terminator: Salvation wasn't half as bad as i thought it was. Loved the Arnie spoof; the term T-800s constantly reminded me of my Uniqlo products (their jeans are coded T-000). *Definitely necessary for you to catch the Terminator movies / telly series prior to the movie. More footage should be given to Helena B.Carter.

What do you know, it's National Service!
Work's a bitch (that makes the two of us) & i'm this close to strangling someone (you know who you are. wear armour please and pray i dont break your neck). Srsly, some people are programmed to piss the living cuckoos out of your mind; thank God for the sweethearts at work.

Can i not wake up at 5am tmr? ); );

2009-05-24T19:02:00.002+08:00

THIS WEEKEND WAS FUN! All thanks to you GYMers (MADE event pictures soon!).

I'm a marshmellow with a hard shell of chocolate
My bio-alarm is OFFICIALLY screwed. Sleeping at 5 on sunday morning & for a mere 3 hours for church, backfired last night.

I woke up at 3am this morning, feeling the adrenaline pumps of a Friday morning. Been up ever since. :3 I feel so groggy & my brain feels like marshmellow fondued.

Yan Fey Fey
Lunch with YF yesterday (glad we did); been forever since the both of us did so! :)

Glad to be able to share the things i did, with you & vice versa. It's refreshing to have his perception on things, as compared to the small talk made with others.

And do pick up French (again) please. So you can speak french, while whipping up tasty treats for this year's christmas party! BOOOOOZE*.

Tickets for melbourne
Purchased! Collecting them later today. I CAN'T WAIT FOR END OCTOBER.

*On a side note: My gums are pretty much intact (no snapping of stitches whatever) & not hurting so much (thank God). No booze still tho.

2009-05-17T00:22:00.002+08:00

Fabian whacking Sam, like a mom walloping her child, was priceless (TWISTAL GOT WHIPPED CREAM-ED). Totally exhausted ourselves out during the MADE LAUNCH: CANDY MONOPOLY EMPIRE today.

TWISTAL GOT WHIPPED CREAM-ED!
GREMLINS' FLASHBACK!
BEE BEE LOVES BIAN BIAN.

A BIG THANK YOU for all who came!

(: Special thanks to all who helped (be it for our sunday-lunch meetings or queuing at Carrefour etc etc), one special way or another!

Photos?

Melbourne Oct-Dec 2009
I'm considering if i should go for cost, instead of convenience: airtickets to melbourne; direct or indirect flight(s)?

Apart from the fact that it (indirect flights) is cheaper, it can be rather problematic as to confirming flight details (like 3 different airlines?).

And i'll be lunging a huge luggage suitcase!

:3 Suggestions pls; expertise required.

*

Wisdom teeth extraction(s)
This 2nd surgery was BAD. Apart from the countless yanking of enamel, I was totally traumatized by the ability to hear EVERY SINGLE CAVITY MOVEMENT IN MY MOUTH(i know im over emphasizing but it was that bad).

I'll rather listen to Green Day throughout the surgery. Beats listening to whatelse. Eeks!

Bring your foolscape tmr, D! iPod request list coming right up. ;)

2009-04-21T17:39:00.003+08:00

I just got back from the movies. ): ): The weather's terrific for a swim! *

FAF4 turned out to be disappointing; more of draggy than escalating climax. Not forgetting some very cheesy predictable dialogue from VD.

Heading to town to check out stuff at K (belated birthday vouchers to spend).

Got my BP done yesterday. Turns out it's less complicated than perceived (the process of application); no long queues nor waiting for numbers to beep. Very excited to see how the outcome's like. Of course I am; how many times in your life do you get to put a new picture of present you, on a new passport? 21 looks better than 14!!

My mom's pushy on getting travel insurance for my Melbourne vacation. :3 I think it's plain dumb (to come up with money to assure yourself/loved ones).

* NOTE: THIRD DAY OF POST-SURGERY RECOVERY. Hence I'm not allowed to exercise, lest i bleed to death in the water.

2009-04-19T06:28:00.002+08:00

The weather's drying everyone up; it's those lingering humidity that eats you up, bit by bit.

Off to do up the Biometric passport next week!

2009-04-18T22:32:00.001+08:00

2nd dose of painkillers administered!

2009-04-18T17:13:00.002+08:00

It's been 6 hours AND THE NUMBNESS IS FINALLY WEARING OFF! Imagine having to eat tempura (cut into babyfood sized portions) with your right oral cavity feeling normal. :3 Not forgetting drinking from straws.

Dr.Hur gave me my two bloody teeth; Mustafa said it acts as a memento.

I think, that's just creepy.

Did i mention i freaked out when, after eating blueberry muffins, i found a piece of almond stuck to my bloodied gum? I assumed it was a piece of loose gum / chip of tooth broken off. :/

Painkillers later tonight!

2009-04-11T14:21:00.002+08:00

And so I thought wisdom-teeth extraction would pass me (given that i've got a huge oral space to stuff myself with)by. But no, I got very lucky on my bottom two (karma i reckon). Routine visit to Dr. Pong confirmed it; X-rays, checkup next thurs afternoon @ Alexandra. ):

My younger cousin KM's wonderful with airline matters: I for one, am a total noob concerning these! ;) kids these days are meant to guide us older kids i daresay.

FLYING TO MELBOURNE END THIS YEARRR. CAN'T WAIT CAN'T WAIT CAN'T WAIT!

2009-03-24T20:16:00.002+08:00

Just slapped on acne cream :3 Time to zap all those nasty zits (!!!!) up at one go! Enuff of these 'youthfulness' already.

Dinner at The Rice Table, with the Med Centre guys last night, was sedaaaapp. :) WE ATE LIKE PIGS, with no hinderance from broken specs or sorey sore throats. Pity we didn't bring a proper camera (iggie mms us the pictures pls) along to remember the moment(s).

Train wreck (not surprising) early this morning to work. Commuters went berserk at JE interchange, when delayment for trains towards Pasir Ris were announced; people just kept adding on to the remainder of previous unluckies. The humidity at 6 wasn't the least helpful either. Heard from Mom, over lunch, that some bloke jumped off the platform at Clementi. /: A trend? Keeping my fingers crossed for tmr.

CAS with AT this friday (or next)!

2009-03-11T18:04:00.002+08:00

Watchmen turned out to be good, especially how the movie unravels the enigmatic theme(s) mentioned.

Love Ms. Jupiter & how the whole story revolves around both her and her daughter (Silk Spectre II). Nothing beats carrying on the family business (know how the pressure goes trust me, whether you fill in their shoes well enough all). And of course, all that latex (or blue prick scenes) involved has to score at least some brownie points!

Alastair highlighted, "If you liked the comic novels, you'll like the movie."; go judge for yourselves.

2009-03-09T12:22:00.001+08:00

2009-02-28T21:42:00.002+08:00

I'm looking forward to this movie!

Playing with fire: somehow we always hope for the best; to get a nice fresh batch of cupcakes in the end.

More often that not, all we get are burnt fingers & charcoal-black cups.

Tiinnngg.

2009-02-24T15:36:00.003+08:00

Bumped Ming during his lunch, after my MMI (get your exams done quick quick & hang out soon!). Haven't seen him since CNY (wasnt it), apart from the usual bout of SMSes to each other. Was at NUS/MMI once again, for attendance.

Lovely weather today, all clouds and a little sunshine. To top it off, attending MMI is the only item on my To-do list the entire day today!

HAPPY BELATED 20TH IGGIEPOP! YOU TOTALLY OWNED US DURING LAN! Meet back up again with us next month 23rd(:

L4D on Sunday, was superb. Juniors brought me to this LAN shop @ Meridien place. Took awhile before things got fun.

The Undead characters, unlike the survivors above, aren't too user-friendly (noob-friendly, for me) at all; you get a different Undead after 2 rounds, new moves, new special ability etc etc.

I must say though, that Life 4 Dead is addictive; ever since Diablo series & Star wars games I've been drooling about. Will rather do that, than DOTA or CS (still not a fan) hands down, any day.

♥

2009-02-19T20:42:00.003+08:00

RESTRAIN ME I'm so close to robbing CANDY EMPIRE clean. :3 Another long office day + lunchtime workouts has got me drained low on sugarlevels. Not forgetting my new 'babysitting job' I've been allocated with.

Why can't SCDF wear comfortable loafers to the office, and nothing but British India all year round huhh )): And yes ONE MORE DAY LEFT.

2009-02-17T18:26:00.002+08:00

(hey David yes i know you'll be reading this. censored heaps. lol kidding)

Curious Case of Benjamin Button was heartwarming, and special. Though close to 3 hours it took (Shaw has terrible seats mind you), I'm glad I caught it! :)

Nothing stays perfect for too long.

There's so much more to the movie than just his abnormality with age; so much more to that. It makes you cringe, at the sight of watching your loved ones die before you do. It strikes a chord deep down, spurring you to reflect on life.

At the end of it, you can't help but wonder about who the person you are, your choices & possibilities in life; the changes.

And when you age, who will be there by your side? And if the signs, of that one guest knocking on our door, are as obvious as we hope them to be.

But in the end, all that's left to do is to let go.

Feeling very fuzzzzzy (it's not the alcohol earlier, kicking in). (: Dinner with family & catching up over Choya, leftover CNY bak kwa, oranges after dinner; it's just a fantastic way to sum up your work week & end of your Saturday. Shageroos, this workweek is.

I'm extremely glad for the relatives on my mom's side; yes i know i've mentioned a zillion times so what. It's the zillion and one times you're hearing this anyway. :) Bear with me. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE EVERYONE WHO MADE ME FEEL FUZZY TODAY (now im not that assured im not high on choya).

Stick your head up high, and kill those rackety mockingbirds. Dazzle them, you know you can do it; one step at a time. Show them what balls you've got, B.

&, bring your colours next week, my dear! And let's get crraazy with you!

2009-02-04T18:12:00.002+08:00

Thursday's coming, Friday right up!

Though I'm not specifying, I'm exceptionally proud of myself this week :) It (this week) being the first week of the month, requires new schedules to be confirmed, e-mails typed at zoomingfingersvelocity, arrangments to be made, phonecalls for assistance etc etc. Plus, new bossies for the Medical side. *inject monstrous entrace sound*

Got to meet up with quirkyquirky Wee Kiat & lovely Amanda early this week over dinner. It's been 9 years since we last seen each other! Our road-crossing monitor days seems just like yesterday. Thanks for the bday treat, A!

On a side note (to you attention grabber), appropriate YOUR age. Be it for whatever reason, you did whatever you did, hide it or cover up. Else, you're just luring monsters and another number to our rape figures. Enough said, b.

Jitters critters for my 2.4 tmr! ):

2009-01-29T10:50:00.001+08:00

Thanks to all the SMSes, FB comments & phonecalls!

2009-01-28T12:49:00.002+08:00

I've got the worse cramps ever. First the sour plum craves, now the cramps. I think I'll be pregnant next month.

What started out as bearable twitches of discomfort, soon made me go weak in the knees for hours. And yes, i'm on MC today. No jump(s) for joy for the duper long weekend; i'm only working on friday the whole of this CNY week.

Jap dinner with family tomorrow evening! (: Happy brithday, to me(:

David Archuleta/To be with you

I've been alone so many nights now,
And I've been waitin' for the stars to fall.
I keep holdin' out for what I don't know
To be with you, just to be with you.

So here I am staring at the moon tonight,
Wondering how you look in this light.
Maybe you're somewhere thinkin' about me too.
To be with you, there's nothing I wouldn't do.

And I can't imagine two worlds spinnin' apart
Come together eventually..

And when we finally meet, I'll know it's right.
I'll be at the end of my restless road.
But this journey, it was worth the fight.
To be with you, just to be...

Holding you for the very first time, never letting go.
What I wouldn't give to feel that way...
Oh...

Oh, to be with you...

Oh, and I can't imagine two worlds spinnin' apart
Come together eventually.

And when you're standin' here in front of me,
That's when I know that God does exist.
'Cause He will have answered every single prayer.
To be with you, just to be with you, yeah.
You.

2009-01-10T22:07:00.002+08:00

Now, wasn't I one of those who dissed Twilight as a poorly done flick? Apparently, the assumption was that the book was equally sucky.

Wrong (even if it is true that the bestseller only sold a mere 500 books globally, before the big blockbuster).

Anyhow, turns out that the books aren't badly written. Am now on the 2nd book, New Moon. Contents are relatable, surprisingly close to heart: the abstainence, forbidden love, death being the easy way out, as compared to living life itself.

*

Long week, finally ended! Thanks for all who responded to my random-ny texting! Truckloads of appreciation.

But nope, it isn't over; 2009 has just started. :3 Plenty more chances to be strong & to find you.

BIRTHDAY CAKE ORDERED!

Have you read the HOME section of The Straits Times, today?

BOY ARRESTED FOR HAVING SEX WITH GIRL, THEN UNDERAGED

Oh my gazillions, that's waaaaay young for intercourse. :/

Nik even mentioned there was this case he heard of, two primary 5 kids were having SI. Harmless, and oblivious to them, it seems; alarm bells went off for the young schoolgirl as she has been having frequent tummyaches.

After a visit to the GP, they (girl and girl's parents) found out she was actually pregnant! AT THE TENDER AGE OF 11.

I am, like i mentioned to Nik, still in amazement. :3 urgh and i've got cousins that age too.

2008-12-13T18:23:00.003+08:00

WEEKEND 1

Caught up on all my tee-v recordings, throughout the week; fake tweety tattoos to sitcoms. You've just gotta love Cable tv! :)

Town @ noon today. Walked around, caught a movie, bought lunch, more walking around. Boy does solitude do wonders to your soul (Yuuup, it's been ONE HECTIC WORKWEEK). Not forgetting the fine weather this morning.

Certain revelations, countless thoughts. Definitely needed the time-out (thank you Lord).

Anyhow, i'm just thankful the way God has moulded (& is continuing to mould) me; in the midst of the drama, chaos & warpness. & that He also threw in candy-sweet people to brighten up my days. :-)

Uploaded the entire David A. album to my phone, earlier this morning for en-route listening. Rather good, his album i must say: easy to bounce to, provocative to the heart. Special thanks to Roger for uploading it for me (: hope you're doing fine with your calls.

LYDIA HAS LANDED HERSELF A JOB at Pilgrim Clothing (some chi chi boutique in AU she said). :) congrats again, dearest cousin!

2008-12-08T09:54:00.003+08:00

I'VE GOT THIS MISERABLE ONSET OF FLU

Yes. the clogged up nasal passages & the whole combo. Thank God it's HRH today; i'll just refuse to be dragged to the office this morning (not that im willing on norm days either)!

Christmas in about 2 more weeks! Doing up my cards and all. Christmas HT programmes look promising. I'M EXCITED.

Yup, time to stock up on orange juice & catch up on sleep!

2008-12-07T06:10:00.002+08:00

And guess what? I'm awake! Blogging at 6am (on a sunday too) is a crime. Blame it on Mr Body clock here. :3

'Golden Scissors' mixed rice was better than i expected! Slushes of curry, followed by piles of gravy, on ingredients. It all just leads to a SATISFIED STOMACH & a curry-sored throat.

(: So good morning, with chirping birds (yes those birds!) & a raspy morning voice.

2008-12-06T11:06:00.001+08:00

2008-12-04T17:18:00.002+08:00

Going back to CDA just brings back memories. Watching the recruits have their chainsaw lesson, i cringed. Srsly, when they say there's nothing like NS, they meant it; every last 'greasy-mashtray-to-awful-bouts-of-homesickness' bit of it.

This week felt like it weighed a ton: the daily west-east travelling alone, can make the most patient man on Earth pull his hair out.

And i'm NOT just refering to his crowning glory.

Perched on decade-old trees, the coo-ing cuckoos are driving us mad. Know, those birds that sound like they're gonna have the BIGGEST avian-orgasm of their lives? And it just escalates, the cooing, until they (birds) sound like THAT BIRD in Shrek. :/

Okay, now two blocks away, they're mating. at 1830hrs? THAT'S SUPER EARLY BIRDIES.

Explode like balloons, please. Pop pop, pop.

2008-11-30T17:02:00.004+08:00

DECEMBER IS JUST A DAY AWAY. CAN'T WAIT FOR CHRISTMAS & POST-CHRISTMAS CHALET!

Heaps of films hitting theatres in December: BOLT, TWILIGHT, THE SPIRIT (producers of 300 & Sin City; must-watch), AUSTRALIA etc etc.

Oh, have I mentioned how much Bella Swan should be eaten by Edward Cullen?

I just noticed the living room has a BCH paper bag. Bak Kwa cravings, instantaneously. & speaking of that, our office has (unofficially) formed a makan group! Twice a month, sedap food hunts to satisfy. (:

Mommies have been occupied with Gran; new domestic helper, Gran's PMS signs. Last i heard, we foresee a swap of DH (again!) next month. Hopefully, the state of things will improve & mommies make it out alive. :3

2008-11-22T09:06:00.002+08:00

I CAN'T BELIEVE MY BIO CLOCK WOKE ME AT 5 THIS MORNING. :3 So much for sleeping in on a weekend.

Most probably, or so it seems, the fantastic four will not be inclusive of yours truly (cause i'm signing up to be Mr America, yes pun intended).

Seniority & medical duties, they say. Cowdung, i'd say.

Either way, i'm keeping my toes crossed i'll not be the tattered scrapegoat, when 2009 comes to an end. But yes, things will be good. (; We'll make it so.

HAPPY BELATED (1 DAY) BIRTHDAY DAD!

2008-11-17T11:43:00.002+08:00

So, we heard there will be a new Medical Centre over at HTA. Chances are, four of us will be working there instead. Brand new environment, non-SCDF circle (police trainees); who knows what surprises there will be for the fantastic four.

Mega thanks, if you texted me to care & suggest bout it all.

CHRISTMAS IS LOOMING LIKE A MONSTER OVER THE HILL! HAVE YOU BOUGHT THOSE LOVELY GIFTS YET?

*

So at The Pizza Place yesterday, seated just next to us was this ONS couple. Reason(s) being, the guy's a 39 'lao3-wai4' while the girl's (NOTE: GIRL, NOT LADY) a year or two older than myself? They didn't seem to have any ongoing chemistry & he clearly didn't seem interested in hearing her whine bout Perrier or even converse bout her pasta; he didn't have the manners to act like he was. :3

Surprisingly (or maybe not), the pair who screamed 'quickie/pleasure booth/business transaction' all over, bore a striking resemblance to someone i know.

Where did those innocent days, without abortions cases & casual teen shagging, go?

2008-10-16T09:05:00.002+08:00

Yesterday's episode was just, plain ugly.

Sarah McLachlan

I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

Remember the good times that we had?
I let them slip away from us when things got bad
How clearly I first saw you smilin' in the sun
Wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one

I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

I'm so tired but I can't sleep
Standin' on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard

But I will remember you
Will you remember me?Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to lose
Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose
Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light

And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

Weep not for the memories.

2008-10-11T21:45:00.000+08:00

More orange juice, MORE!

The weather's turning nasty. Bet i'm not the first saying this. And yes, i'm blaming it too on public transport & its hacking commuters (at least those that refuse to get a MC).

So, don't mind me, if i'm acting like an unfeeling prick at the office; it's just getting to me & can't wait to get back home to snooze.

Cartons of orange juice & yummy celery-carrot soup tonight. (: Mom's great to whip dinner tonight, given that i'm sick. And she's mimicking Sharon Osbourne on tv right now.

MY AUSSIE BABY'S COMING BACK TOMORROW!

BOO JF'S DADDY IS ACTUALLY DIRECTOR OF FSSD?

*

It dawned to me yesterday, that our moms (some dads too) actually sacrifice a whole lot of shit for their families: dreams, personal time, sleep, getting out of their comfort zone(s) all. Deep down inside, somehow we always knew that haven't we.

I think we should have designated public holidays to celebrate parenthood!

Thank you to all moms, dads & parent-like figures for the sacrifices, the love, the concern & the blood.

2008-10-08T14:35:00.002+08:00

渐渐的你已走开
你带走不只是你的存在
慢慢的我转身离开
看着灿烂的天空
也随着你消失的无影无踪

太阳跟随着你
逃离到乌云的背后
雨一点一滴的淋湿了我
像是冷漠嘲笑我的执著
天空也无情的变得灰暗
顿时的我应该怎么走

我站在雨中
寻找你的轮廓
雨越下越大
你消失在这大雨之中

我站在雨中
声音是好朦胧
想在你消失之前
大声地对你说不要走

太阳跟随着你
逃离到乌云的背后
雨一点一滴的淋湿了我
像是冷漠嘲笑我的执著
天空也无情的变得灰暗
顿时的我应该怎么走

我站在雨中
寻找你的轮廓
雨越下越大
你消失在这大雨之中

我站在雨中
声音是好朦胧
想在你消失之前
大声地对你说不要走

I'VE CAUGHT THE SNEAK PREVIEW OF MAMMA MIA, and it's one of the best shows this year! Of course, you've got to be an ABBA fan to enjoy its various climaxes to the max.

Pieces weren't just songs thrown in the show; they did their part as dialogue even (unlike HSM), going with the flow of the storyline: and that's what the directors intended i suppose.

Very well done oy. Go watch it over the weekend, if you haven't caught it overseas or one of the sneak previews. (: Mom reckons (watching) it made her feel young again.

On a seperate note, ENG turned out to be surprisingly toleratable. PTL!

Muthu's enlisted in Tekong today. Sorry i couldn't be there to send you off, friend. Can't wait to see you botak!

Ever felt like this is really uncalled for?

2008-09-07T17:08:00.002+08:00

9th Aunt attended a wake this week: her secondary one classmate passed away.

What's surprising is, the 38 yr old man got a stroke at the office & went into a coma. Adding to that would be that he's married for 7 years, with two kids & a homebased mom.

This should cause alarms to go for pushy bosses & KFC lovers. (;

Cry by Rihanna

I'm not the type to get my heart broken
I'm not the type to get upset and cry
Cause I never leave my heart open
Never hurts me to say goodbye
Relationships don't get deep to me
Never got the whole in love thing
And someone can say they love me truely
But at the time it didn't mean a thing

My mind is gone, i'm spinning round
And deep inside, my tears i'll drown
I'm losing grip, what's happening
I stray from love, this is how I feel

This time was different
Felt like, I was just a victim
And it cut me like a knife
When you walked out of my life
Now i'm, in this condition
And i've, got all the symptoms
Of a girl with a broken heart
But no matter what you'll never see me cry

Did it happen when we first kissed
Cause it's hurting me to let it go
Maybe cause we spent so much time
And I know that it's no more
I shoulda never let you hold me baby
Maybe why i'm sad to see us apart
I didn't give to you on purpose
Can't figure out how you stole my heart

How did I get here with you, i'll never know
I never meant to let it get so, personal
After all I tried to do, stay away from loving you
I'm broken hearted, I can't let you know
And I won't let it show
You won't see me cry

This time was different
Felt like, I was just a victim
And it cut me like a knife
When you walked out of my life
Now i'm, in this condition
And i've, got all the symptoms
Of a girl with a broken heart

But no matter what you'll never see me cry

Celebrated gran's 71st birthday tonight. 71! Who knows what i'll be doing at 71: whether i still got teeth, hair and great-grandchildren. :# maybe i'll be senile, going around smacking asses of fellow old folks even.

My grandmother, Mdm Lau Siew Kheng

Being the 2nd grandchild & the first grandson, i grew up with gran's shower of affections; a novelty only the first 5 grandchildren enjoyed to the max.

Weekly gifts, kisses, hugs & painstakingly home-cooked meals for the entire maternal family. Rain or shine, each week the family met up. And unlike my dad's side, we caught up with each other over family videos, dinners, vacations, festive seasons. There was never a dull time, even when there were family disputes.

Growing up was never dull. Not in this Lau family.

Gran even made us exclusive handsewn quilt blankies for each of us grandchildren. No designer wear can ever beat that.

Happy Birthday, Popo. Thanks for loving each of us shunjai dearly. :)

THE BRUISES ARE FADING
and my mom's been yakking bout returning the Hello Kitty brolly, to the office (clueless whose it belongs to; all guys leh). Downpour on one of the weekdays; 'koped' shelter from the faded pink item.

Went over to Aunt Dorcas' yesterday. Met up with heaps of my parents' childhood churchmates. Surprised they are still as close as the photo albums show; it's been two decades plus & counting.

Journey to The Center of The Earth, is more of a family show. Apart from the effects, plot-wise similar to Jumangi. National treasure's much more believable.

Peony in Love's enthralling. Focuses on women being seen as the weaker gender in the ancient times of China. With its elements of tradition, love & famous playwrights such as The Peony Pavilion, it's got me hooked from page to page.

Thanks vicky for the magazines (;

BOOOOOOOOO it's Monday tmr. >:(

HAPPY 20TH AMANDA TENG! (;

Bumped into roger at Paintball yesterday. :) that's two days str8! Turns out, his friends got the slot before us.

Objectives given during the games; objects to be brought back to your Spawn Site, switching of weapons, gunning down that colleague at work who gets on your nerves. Yes, there are objectives.

I've got blueberry bruises that bear a striking resemblance to kinky lovebites. Yes, pain(t)ball really hurts (don't forget to duck & duck & duck!). No doubt, everyone should try it at least once. Even the menopausical aunties do it.

Just don't forget to catch your breath, stay low & barrels of 100plus!

Head under water,
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while.

The breathing gets harder,
even I know that.

Lunch at Popeye's "chicken & biscuits", surprised me. Better than KFC! Mashed potatoes, much more yummy. Poultry served, less greasy. Meals come with sweet breads, nicknamed Biscuits. Tasted like scones; less harder than CB&TL's, more buttery.

The group of us went, after church today. (;

Starbucks' DARK MOCHA FRAPP is awesome. Really, dark chocolate plus arabian coffee never tasted this good. Tops 'yin yang' concoctions even!

Babe, I’ll walk the seven seas when I believe that there's a reason to,
Write you a love song today.

Today.

COME OCTOBER, IT'LL BE A YEAR SINCE I ENLISTED! Wooooo. Monday dinner at sakae's with jolene & gang; she's back for a period before flying back to Melb.

Caught The Dark Knight last night with Nizam, Lee & Chen (after a boring dinner @ swensens: they have 'I'm SO going to swensens' on the back of their uniforms even!). Creepy, i must say: the way Heath Ledger potrayed the Joker, knives and all, and how Two-Face evolves.

Surprising twist in the end, but you'll eventually see how the pieces fit as the 2.5 hr show progresses. Definitely leaving you awed with its themes, tactics & so.

Must-watch if you grew up loving the cartoon series. Pity they don't use the Batmobile anymore ): and what if, loyal advice-dishing alfred suddenly turns sinister one day. /:

On a seperate note, getting all cloud-9 with someone who's already attached is just plain dumb. TSKS. Wake up bitch.

):

It's been an exhausting week: WORK MORE WORK CMO CRANKY SHEEET H.K RELATIVES BIRTHDAY SHOPPING. I just awoke, feeling indifferent from a couple of hours ago. :3 So i'm gonna just throw out anything major this week:

1) Distant relatives, from Hong Kong, came over mid this week. Gran's siblings, their children & grandchildren. We went to Beng Hiang's for dinner! (; woooooooo. Love the spread; it's a family thing to head there whenever there's a major birthday or festive occasion (if we ain't doing homemade). 8th uncle, who's the unofficial bartender-brainiac in our family, brought along bottles of red and white! Meal ended with us having tipsy full stomachs. (: ahhh.

2) Ming Ming's last day on next monday! /: and then he's fed-exed to Med school before serving the nation once more. Screw ego, bus rides & working hours aren't the same without you alice. Best of luck once again, bro! (;

3) At the office, aside from water sprays and treasure hunts, people have been chained to items; be it trolleys, heavy metal boxes of supplies. Hilarious, and eerily SAW-like in every way (they've got to find the keys themselves). Snapshots taken!

4) Jiahong has been hiding my boots every so often. Hence the treasure hunt.

5) M.O's on vacation till July 7: Las Vegas & LA, he mentioned. Souvenirs, aye sir? -grins-

That's about it. (: hope ya had a greaaaatt week too.

BATMAN: MYSTERY OF THE BATWOMAN

Tomorrow, 22/6 kidcentral 0930hrs.

*

Caught The Happening today. It was rather bad, we thought! The self-mutilation, likewise creepy (the construction site scene gave me goosebumps). Suspense factor's no doubt, very good.

We went shmuck with the water cans yesterday. You know, those 1.5l-bottle-like pumps that florists use to mist-spray their blossoms? We've got those, for some unexplainable reason, hidden in storage cupboards. It was war, i tell you! (; No doubt a great way to have fun, after a week's hardcore from the you-know-whos upstairs. It's been a tough week, no thanks to you and you and you and YOU. :3

I Will Be

There's nothing I could say to you
Nothing I could ever do to make you see
What you mean to me

All the pain, the tears I cried
Still you never said goodbye and now I know
How far you'd go

[Bridge:]
I know I let you down
But it's not like that now
This time I'll never let you go

[Chorus:]
I will be, all that you want
And get myself together
Cause you keep me from falling apart

All my life, I'll be with you forever
To get you through the day
And make everything okay

[Verse 2:]
I thought that I had everything
I didn't know what life could bring
But now I see, honestly

You're the one thing I got right
The only one I let inside
Now I can breathe, cause you're here with me

[Bridge:]
And if I let you down
I'll turn it all around
Cause I would never let you go

[Chorus:]
I will be, all that you want
And get myself together
Cause you keep me from falling apart

All my life, I'll be with you forever
To get you through the day
And make everything okay

[Ending bridge:]
Cause without you I cant sleep
I'm not gonna ever, ever let you leave
You're all I've got, you're all I want

Yeah

And without you I don't know what I'd do
I can never, ever live a day without you
Here with me, do you see,
You're all I need

HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEKEND: I'M SICK (besides stuffing myself silly with ba-zhangs & vietnam goodies from uncle sean). Even my trusted ally, sng mui (sour plums)has lost its magical properties to eliminate nausea.

People should really have decontamination chambers, like those we've got in Hazmat, on our SBS buses :(

2008-05-31T23:25:00.002+08:00

Are there really 2 people flawlessly made for each other? Where the chemistry is beyond measurements, passion endlessly pouring out of their hearts.

Sometimes i wonder bout that, when loved ones bicker (my parents in particular). Can two really be hollywood-romanced? Or do they just try their uttermost best to stay with each other, for the rest of their lives all fingers crossed. Where in this present society when everything's fastfastfastfast, no-delay efficiency; isn't it natural for spouses to simply throw in the towel when problems aren't working themselves out as fast as we think they should.

We fall in love. Repeatedly get whacked by problems. Immediate results! No? No? No? No? Lose hope then, abandon ship maybe.

Don't mind me. I'm just showing a big ): as to the choices we make as 'mature, thinking adults'.

2008-05-24T14:24:00.002+08:00

So i woke up feeling like sunshine, had a mean (growls!)breakfast of bacon&ham sandwiches, with a bowl of tuna salad with sprays of Italian dressing & now, i'm heading to the National Lib.

Have a great weekend! :)

I'm insane to be blogging (or staring at the desktop for that matter) at this hour, after a looooooong day. My NS msn group is currently, empty. ON A FRIDAY NIGHT. (; all thanks to Exercise Northstar.

The guys involved had it bad; the sun, the hours, all the heavy medical / non-medical barang barang. /: Lucky me(or maybe not), i was rostered for Orderly till 2030hrs.

So, as the understudy today, Marcellus briefed me on the whole process; keys, documents, phonecalls, inventory. Ends up, i was able to leave earlier at 1830 (thanks marc!) & headed out for IJ&TKCS!

Overall, movie's satisfactory: beavers at the front didn't look too convincing, Cate Blanchett's stunningly good, & the whole 'too good to be true' treasure plot satisfied me, as usual. :) good good!

Prince Caspian next saturday! Can't wait after repeated trailer broadcastings on chn 5. (;

I'm officially on leave already!! (; LATENIGHTS & SLEEPINS HERE I COMMEEE.

Yep, we caught Made of Honour yesterday. Patrick Dempsey & Michelle Monaghan are just lovely together (yes despite what the critics say). Together with the slapstick humour (watch out for the blowjob scene & glowinthedarkthingies), worth your $9.50 on a weekend price!

*

Ming (alice) Sheng got into Medicine at NUS! woooo congrats bud (; definitely gonna miss having you at department. best of luck!

Speaking of work, i'm rostered for Orderly this friday. :3 0800-2000hrs.

MOS burger has milkshakes again (yesterday's dinner)! There was a hiatus quite awhile back; shakes were out from almost every outlet. ): We did dinner there after M.O.H yesterday evening. And.. The guys managed to get something cool for Chrys. :)

Everyone's home today. Baadddddd. Mom's planning to make the house spickspan, Double baaaaadddd.

Tell me i'm wrong. It's the 'in-thing' this year, other than skinnies & NUM, to catch up frequently. Don't get me wrong either; i'm lovin my catching up with buds. But isn't it being a tad overdone? The sky's not the limit, in this case my dears.

Caught The Tatooist in the wee hours of friday night. Storyline's rather bland, though the injection of s'pore actors is rather fresh. & no, i've yet to catch ironman (i know! there's this twist after credits) nor H&K (chrys' overseas >:). Not forgetting SpeedRacer, and the upcoming I.Jones & narnia caspian.

Headed out to town yesterday first thing, to get the girls' birthday gifts. Woke up only at one feeling like a hangover; slept only at 3. Chrys' 21st bought!

**Sorry abi, have had to cancel last minute. Island creamery aye? (;

Flaws & all

I'm a train wreck in the morning
I'm a bitch in the afternoon
Every now and then without warning
I can be really mean towards you

I'm a puzzle yes indeed
Ever complex in every way
And all the pieces aren't even in the pile
And yet, you see the picture clear as day

[chorus:]
I don't know why you love me
And that's why I love you
You catch me when I fall
Accept me flaws and all
And that's why I love you
And that's why I love you
And that's why I love you

I neglect you when I'm working
When I need attention I tend to nag
I'm a host of imperfection
And you see past all that

I'm a peasant by some standards But in your eyes I'm a queen
You see potential in all my flaws
And that's exactly what I mean

[chorus:] [2x]
I don't know why you love me
And that's why I love you
You catch me when I fall
Accept me flaws and all
And that's why I love you
And that's why I love you

And that's why I love you

SAW marathon in the office yesterday after lunch. It was one of the classic collection DVDs with all 4 series of it. Gruesomely quirky the plots are. Yes, psychopathically warped the methods are too. But you've gotta admit, Jigsaw's a f***ing genius to do all that.

Weather's quirkly gruesome; you can't head out without sweating "like a hog" or buckets (and this doesn't include the waiting time for the bus).

Speaking of buses, i'm **feeling like a hitchhiker without a compass / cook without his ladle / an artist without his paints / baby without clean nappies (whichever u prefer) without streetdirectory.com; CHRYS' 21st BIRTHDAY PARTY's end of this month at 6 Nassim Rd. How do i get there from Ubi? :3

Nonetheless, i'm grinning from ear to ear 'bout it (the party)! Huge big beach hats horrr, abi. :)

So we labourers (who have yet to take leave tmr) have to toil for one more day, before the weekend comes. BMI for the officers & appointments back-to-back for us @ MC.

Oh, for those of us who need directions on the 2oth, it's here.

This song just gets to me.

You loved me 'cause I'm fragile.
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while
and all my fragile strength is gone.

It's close to 11 & my lids are already weighing a ton. Tsk! CEPP the whole of today; 2 sessions at BBFS. Which resulted in a four-day week at the office. :) TGIST (thankGoditssaturdaytomorrow)!

Dinner over at WanChai's sinful. Pork chop baked rice! Mango pudding! Seafood horfun! Nope, no snapshots. :(

Alright, slumber calls. Heading to town at noon to check out a few prices before Uncle Sean's tmr night. Traditional cantonese dishes woo!

"Why is bread always noisy yet coffee, always quiet?"

Weather's unexpected these days; it could be all sunny sunshine in the morning, scorchy sun in the afternoon & cats dogs in the evenings. >: Talk 'bout drastic change.

Speaking of bad weather, many more people are falling sick. This uncle in the bus, kept sneezing profusely at the glass window. Without coverage of his oral exit, he peppered the clear glass with droplets of his sneezes.

Music & Lyrics turned out to be a mediocre film.

We rented that & a few other films from the dvd store. M&L's disappointing in its script but drew barrymore's definitely proved herself versatile ( as compared to other films like, charlie's angels, ET). Come to think of it, she was the female leads in The wedding singer, 50firstdates, Never been kissed too. Is that awesome or what?

Choc cherry madelines, a success! :) Colleagues & CMO liiiiikeee.

Anything else recent?

The flu bug's spreading around, be it at the office or from one commuter to the other, the past few days. I gave CEPP a miss today, for eleven solid hours of rest. I just had to "recover on my 'HP'"; work's been a monster. >: but hey IT'S THE WEEKEND! So i'm honestly fucking thankful that we get weekends.

On a seperate note, something else to talk about.

Bitching.

Bitching 'bout people is fine (i gladly enjoy it). That includes, of course getting bitched at too. But hey, let's face it. Bitching about people to their direct family members/loved ones/indirect family members ain't such a sensible thing to do. Like, hello? Rubbing truckloads of salt isn't exactly very constructive u know. We all know how bitched up person B is, but hey.. No direct members involved okay?

Yes it's you, and you bitches.

love each other, or perish.

Baby, baby, please believe me
Find it in your heart to reach me
Promise not to leave me behind
(Promise not to leave me behind)

I'm up early on a sunday; it's almost six & i've been up from 5. :3

THE (by far) LONG WEEKEND WAS CRAZZZZZZ-ZEEEE. :)

So you know, as i was telling abigail (who spells fengshui as feng-shuai?!), i've got this knack attracting weirdos. From split-personality dudes to uncles who have tattoos on their carotids, i keep bumping into 'em.

So yesterday, whilst heading back with Roger, there was this chinese dude in his mid 30-40s, who kept glancing at Roger. With the all-black attire & follow-me gelled-back hair, he looked like a M.I.B agent gone wrong (crudely, from MAD magazine). The obvious glances came first, then the awkward looks. /:

Eventually we moved (him later too & to other carriages further up) to another section of the train. Then we noticed this lady in a scarlet spaghetti top, scolding the startled guy seated across her, in dialect for no proper reason. And she wasn't using a bluetooth device (i checked!), not like how businessmen talk to themselves in trains during lunch hours.

Talk 'bout being a weird-magnet.

It's close to breakfast and i'm beginning to feel the effects of insufficient sleep. Heading for a play/movie later tonight @ aunt m's church.

2 more days till Adam Levine croons & swoons. Damn, -say following phrase with china man accent- didn't buy no tickets...

Everything, everything, ooo
Everything, everything, ooo
You are my baby, baby, baby, baby love.

Sara Bareilles Gravity
Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do
I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.

You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.

CHORUS
Set me free, leave me be.
I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall,
just the way I'm supposed to be.

But you're on to me and all over me.
You loved me 'cause I'm fragile.
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while
and all my fragile strength is gone.

I live here on my knees as I try
to make you see that you're everything

I think I need here on the ground.
But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go.

The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down

The Part of You That No One Sees

You are lively, dramatic, and flamboyant.
You have an outrageous personality...
And you secretly resent anyone who makes you tone it down.
Underneath it all, you are driven by your need for attention and acceptance.
You need to feel special at all times.
You are secretly jealous and occasionally insecure.

What's the Part of You That No One Sees?

So I'm sitting here with single-toe socks (every toe's a different shade, feels peculiar having ur toes seperated), freezing my ass off blogging. 2nd break over, heading home right after the 3rd one later.

On a seperate note,Robby's got a brand new blog!

Was browsing through last year's entries. Definitely noticed the changes (the way i write; feelings expressed, various emotions felt) in my life. 2007 seem so distant. Crap, I've just grown older. :3

Yup, it's the looking back that often magnifies the present growth (don't ask what's with the reflections).

So yep rose glasses cracked, this superhero's out to fight the globe's battles with new reinforced goggles!

Observing passengers in the bus has, strangely, amused me today. I realise, indeed we're specially designed by Him; individuals living together, no one identical, sharing globe space. From the way light bounces off her glossy hair, him blinking profusely whilst staring in midair, the manner a mom shushes her child with such soothing sounds, the way that 3 yr old peeps sheepishly out of his red hoodie, the silver threads gleaming on an uncle's head, her weathered face beautifully lined with wisdom threads, to the manner in which she fumbles profusely with her mustard chunky beads constantly for the entire highway duration.

Funny how some things are always there, but somehow or rather we fail to notice 'em.

2 Faces of my girlfriend's good(Bong Tae-gyu's hilarious!). Untraceable & Vantage Point's out on March 20! Definitely a must-watch if you're a Diane Keaton/actionflick sucker.

Katie Tunstall

Over the sea and far away
She's waiting like an iceberg
Waiting to change
But she's cold inside
She wants to be like the water

I wish it were simple
But we give up easily

Love MSN's recent update: colour palette looks juicy!

So I'm back doing office hours again (for now); got posted to headquarters just yst. On thursday, the Career&Education Fair @ suntec halls. Booths were packed with ecstatic students, as always, and adults alike. Grabbed a whole stack (the kiasu s'porean in me) of brochures leaflets whathaveyou.

"... Wake yourself up and look to God. Build your hope on Him. No matter how many things seem to be pressing in on you, be determined to push them aside and look to Him. "Look to Me.." Salvation is yours if you look."

Frank Sinatra

Something in your eyes was so inviting,
Something in you smile was so exciting,
Something in my heart,
Told me I must have you.

"Alright, we'll be doing some polishing for you today. Just lie back, and open wide."

"It would help, if you breathed through your nose too." he added, flashing a megawatt smile, as the nurse hooked the suction hose on my lip.

I thought i saw my life flash before my eyes, when the drilling started.

And so they say, assurance is essential, important when handling a patient; something i didn't quite grasp in class. How could strings of verbal actions be comforting to another, i often wondered. Boy, did assurance proved to be chicken soup when i was at the dentist's early (at inhumane hours if u ask me) this very morning.

Third day of the lunar year! More slimming wraps anyone? :D

Can people actually put 'waiting in line at Macdonalds' as one of their dislikes?

♪

Everything in its time
by Corrinne May

Sometimes i wonder what lies ahead
How long til my hunger is fed
They say it's hard to make it in this part of town
so many people on this merry-go-round

Some folks try astrology
Some turn to crystal balls
To find an answer
To get through it all
I just fall on my knees and i try to pray
in the silence i can hear Him say

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
Everything in its time

I often feel like that i'm two steps behind
Somebody must have moved that finish line
There are a thousand reasons
why i should give up
But i'm stubborn in the things i believe

'cause maybe there's another plan
One i still cant see
A little surprise, like your love in your life
Funny how time changes how we see

Everything in its time,

Everything in its time.

I've come to realise that aside from being a platform to upload your pictures, flickr has a couple of cool photographers. This user in particular, has some pretty chic shots (and she isn't the first ive stumbled across).

Talk 'bout undiscovered!

THE O LVL RESULTS ARE OUT! Nat's got a whooping score of 10! ;)

Central's showing this documentary on Vietnam, holiday attractions of some sort. Was channel-surfing & they were talking 'bout the Cu Chi tunnels. Apparently, the vietnamese started these underground tunnels to hide from the Americans; access is via a 6 by 6 hole, dug through the ground.

How cool is that? the 6 by 6 idea was to actually, be an obstacle to the American soldiers as 'Americans soldiers are fat, cannot squeeze through unlike our people'. The amazing thing is, Man could survive underground & carrying out his usual day-to-day activities.

Jordin Sparks feat. Chris Brown

tell me how i'm supposed to breathe with no air
no air
no air So, my uncle has a wide collection of Marvel figurines (he even has the x-men omnibus!how cool is that?!). I remember i would be glued to episodes, of X-men especially, of these superbeings; Storm, Rogue, Cyclops, Magneto, Jubilee, Wonderwoman, Superman, Batman, Robin etc. The entire phoenix legacy was mind-blowing and of course, jean grey herself.

She dies a couple of times (according to the omnibus) throughout the X-men history though.
