Nursing back to 2007

Last post of 2006.

To be able to live to see the end of this day, many things have happened in a glimpse. Life is like a rollar coaster.

There are things I can't face it directly and have to rely on support / advice . There are things I have to make decisions myself. There are things I can't prevent from happening. Maybe someone have already prepared our chapters of life and now am watching us to finishing casting and acting it. Life gets busier and busier when you get older.

And all along I thought I am facing it alone. There are people who stood by me and yet are shelved aside due to my yearn for independence. I can be relied on when friends need me but I always try not to rely on them.

Bud made me realise this.

We take many things for granted in our life. Friendship sometimes can be taken for granted. To meet up with friends during celebration can be considered casual. To stand by one another and to look out for each other when one is down is a valuable one. There are no conditions or motives.

I have seen people who have known a lot of people and I thought this person must be good friends with everyone. But I think its not an achievement to make a lot of friends but its an acheivement to maintain a friendship for years.

I have a lot of work to do to ensure my longevity is secured. Ciaos

Trying Hard

 


 


 


 


 

Junior deserves a break. Thats all I can do for him. Get him into festive mood!!

 

I tried running again after some rest. But the pain still comes back.

 

I will try again tomorrow

Christmas ends fast

I should pat myself. Managed to survive through this Christmas

Met up for a casual meal of pizzas with Pa , Jas and Pa's beau. Have really wanted to try blue cheese pizza so had ordered a set.

Then we hopped over for cocktails. We took artic ice for a start. White in colour , the drink taste like strong almond vodka and it was accompanied by mini candy sticks. Jas gobbled his lychee martini and corona before the trios were able to finish ours.

Second round was colourful. Pa's Eski blue , Jas's Marini Ice , Pa's beau 's Martini Lychee and Mine was Bloody Mary. Our table was doing a very good job with a little bit of white , blue and red cocktails.

Jas ended up with a final shot of grey bear vodka.

Christmas 2006 was not that spectacular but it was not overly planned and overly done. I like it this way. Jas and Pa , Pa's beau were pretty cool in going nice uncrowded places and it was just so perfect.

I have been relying on cough drops very often.

Happening or Spoiler This Christmas?

Durian log cake have arrived. Not from Goodwood Park but hope those people who have received will like it.

This year not so bad , I got small gifts from my collegues and project manager. I did buy small gifts to distribute . I got them finger puppets from Ikea. Total there are two packs - Sea Creatures and Animal Kindom with 10 pieces each. So I got 20 different animals to distribute around. Response was good . Everybody liked it .

Didn't expect Bud got me a seat comforter for Christmas present because we agreeed not to buy any presents for exchange. But I did buy for him and his beau gifts. So we have our fair share this Christmas.

No concrete plans to go out on eve yet . Will drop by a friend's place in the morning. Invitations have been offered for dinners but I keep my options open.


I guess a good place for jazz band and christmasty indulgence is all I need.

Yui Good-bye Days english subbed

A good song that ends all events of 2006.

extras 1ups in life

Got an unexpected news.

Maybe working with Chengdu programmers. Think Lynette wanted me to go and take over Erwin who have left for better jobs. Once confirmed , I will be leaving DSTA for the new department in January 2007

Credit card bills came. Lucky I sold my mobile phone and more moolah came in at the right time.

Seems like my presence is known. Have to work harder for fatter paychecks. Yippee.


In the mood for celebration.

P.S : Bud just called and it seems like his company has declared war on him. Intruding into his
personal life. Utterly childish. Dun worry , i get my mum to bless your bad lucks away as promised over the phone just now.

Raining

Monday blues....

Managed to get my clean and press right. All the while I have been doing wrongly. Must always do the Japanese bow.

Wanted to reward myself with a cosy bus ride home but halfway towards the bus stop , the rain overtook my journey. But I was greeted with an magnificient night view across the Singapore river admist the pouring rain. The raindrops somewhat bejeweled the whole place and its seems like diamonds everywhere. The heavy downpour was loud enough to cover my persistent coughs.

Still managed to get my cosy bus ride in the end.

Christmas is next monday.

Sickly mood

recovering....

A quick run in the gym sweat me out and made me feel better.

A normal Saturday with Bud will be filled with plans , complains and
dreams. Tried to listen to him but was still feeling giddy. Luckily the
soyabean drink pack perks me up a bit.

Bud is good at picking my moods, I admit defeat.

Seems like we are more determined to set up a company to promote our freelance
services. Will work hard for it and hopefully we get us somewhere.

Log cakes are on the way. Durian flavoured.

A day will surely end with my mum's frantic scenes again. Picked up my auntie and did not know where they are. There is this particular photo shoot that she will take and out and show
my relatives. She's kinda proud of it.

Date myself

Managed to get the cake on time. Bud must be enjoying the cake. Wanted a piece of the cake too but too bad its not for me.

And then its all by myself. Just very tired and wanted to take a small break and forget about all the people around me. Just want to give myself a celebration on my job confirmation.

As I sit by the little corner , I try to observe things with silence.

Today , i see how a girl sang a beautiful song and left the world peacefully but her songs remembered behind by her loved ones.

I saw another gal waiting patiently for her boyfriend at a noodle store to knock off.

I saw how a guy tries to be confident and yet was behaving like a loser.

I saw a lady waiting patiently and blankly by her dessert store either waiting for the shop to close or customer to come.

With my usual dosage of fruit juice from the 7 eleven store , I walked with a kind of saunter as if I hadn't a care in the world. To think a noisy person like me has become so quiet all of a sudden.
I just dun feel like talking sometimes.

There is no hint of lonliness or some company i yearn for . Its just that I want to hang out without any purpose or thinking.

There is a saying : Speech is silver , Silence is gold. Talking requires effort but talking unnecessary become too casual and nonsensical. Silence really sets you thinking.

I missed a jab today or should I go for the jab package? Kinda essential but costly. All thanks
to that checkup.


Tired again..

Worthwhile Wednesday

Got my confirmation letter today.

Finally my 6 months have been well paid off. Will be embarking over to a new project next year
But I wasn't feeling at all happy. Luckily I managed to catch Lynette and we spoke over what will be like over the next few months. She came in at the right time to unravel all the unnecessary doubts I have.

My open office migration finally showed some results . Something worth noted about.

Wednesday ended with meals over at NYNY with Bud , Huili and Wenjie. Managed to convince them to eat over here than the usual food court since we rarely meet. Good grief!

Being the youngest , Huili surprisingly still the best money spinner and risk taker. He made good deals over his power balls and am still determined to continue his ventures

Wenjie still his usual self , craving over games and consoles.

Bud looked either too full to talk or his minds on other stuffs. He just looked tired.

My photography skills was being brought up again. Painful as it seems but i wish my hands
were either exchanged or chopped off. The photos taken really shaked me up

Yes. I swiped my card. Things I have swiped on so far

1. Meals over at NYNY
2. Meals over at XIn Wang
3. Meals at Auntie Kim
4. HMV discs
5. Taxi to Airport
6. Meals at Mt Fuji (BKK)
7. Things bought at Paragon (BKK)
8. Things bought at King Power Station (BKK)
9. Meals at Carl Junior

Better keep a list or else I forget what I buy.

Trying to clinch a deal on another freelance. Tiresome...

Good tidings

My sister just came back from japan. This is just right for a Christmas present for her. Mind you , its a 100% sponsered trip by the school and she jsut have to go there and look after students and spend.

I just came back from Bangkok too but I paid for my trip. But have already covered the damages by selling my Nokia N73 away recently for a mere $500 bucks.

Its my dream always to travel since young. My parents don't have the luxury to bring us around
since it has been traumatic for my father to single-handedly feed a family of five. But its good now that me and my siblings have started to work and indulge ourselves with our hard earned money. And indeed it has made me feel more generous when comes to spending as now I have the ability to spend.

Im not encouraging spending here. Its just something I feel I need to reward myself after working hard for so many years. When you have a purpose in the things you do , you will work hard for it.

Bud is working hard for his relationship and I'm sure good tidings will be ahead waiting for him. He surely deserve some blessings from me. I am working hard too. Not relationship but rather my studies and work and lifestyle. I wish to be debt free and more loaded as years goes by.

Just got my health report card. Speechless.

I am tired but will try to stay happy.

Last Christmas

Was walking around Orchard and I saw this CD. It is the sound track collection for the JDorama show Last Christmas. I thought I would never get it in Singapore.

Well , if you have watched the drama . The soundtrack collection would really bring back nostalgic moments and the Christmasty feelings.

Well , I've watched it and the music they used in the show is really brilliant.

Gonna lift my spirits up this Christmas. :)

The Holiday(2006)

Well I caught this movie . Lets see whats its all about

The Holiday is a movie about two women who did not have a good relationship. While one falls out in love , the other ditched the man she loved.

And it happen that while the other gal try to look for a place for holiday , she happen to chance upon the house of the gal who fall out in love. BTW , these two gals stay at different parts of the world . One is in LA while the other is in England .So there goes a home exchange and there goes sparks between new relationships during this homestay.

So basically you can to inspect and see how these gals relationships bloomed and worked out in the end. I would prefer the relationship between Kate Winslet and Jack Black. Kinda sweet and more realistic.

Christmasty Romance Film I would say

Bringing Justice Back To My Life

Things have been revolving for this current year.


Well , I have witnessed chapters and chapters of people's life changing. Friends getting married , relatives who have passed away , new people whom I met , old friends whom I used to interact with.

And at this stage when I am 25 years old , I can tell you I do not accomplish a lot but would really want to. I regret I did not plan well for my life but I am not in the circumstances to have good plannings. I have commmitments to fulfil before I can move on properly to my next stage of life.

People always see me as a happy - go - lucky person but in my heart I am not. I just do not like to discuss my doubts with people. I just want the people around me to be happy. Sounds kinda sacrifising but this is just me.

Congrats to my buddy who have found a girlfriend. We have been hanging out for 6 years plus and its good to see there is someone who can accompany him in his next few years of his life. Kinda not used to go out without him but I will try my best not to disturb him.

Well , by the time you read this post , I am going to do something . Something that will change my life.
