focus on positive

2008-06-17T14:37:00.002+08:00

it's my rest day today..
a reason to sleep more than 12 hrs aye!
it's been so long since i last pressed the remote control..
felt so gd to just slack n switch channels on n off..;)

i logged into my friendster account, just looking thru my profile page..
listening to the song 'tattoo' n 'somebody's me'
n some of the pics of my loved ones..it simply brings a smile to my face.
i guess it felt so warm knowing that u have them around u, the stuff we've been thru..many happy moments that always fades away when u're sad or going thru difficult moments.

sounds like "that" will be my HAPPY PILL` for now..=D
i don wanna think abt the difficult times or the future.
just focus on present.

haywire

2008-06-09T19:39:00.002+08:00

haywire my life it is.

2008-06-05T23:02:00.002+08:00

met qs,wendy,sijie n nicole yesterday nite for dinner at amk.
i certainly miss spicy crabs!!
the golden brown deep fried buns dipped in the sauces..yums yums..
the creamy butter crabs were gd too!

everyone felt full except me..
n so i suggested desserts, which they werent as keen..
but we went anyway..=)
to cheesecake cafe at east coast rd.
the peach flavor cheesecake was sold out, so i settled for chocolate banana cake`
n drank camomile honey tea (tastes gd) n was rather diuretic!! =p
funny thing was, i actually got high on caffeine~
owells, maybe i was just happy i get 2 days off from work..

watched 'Narnia today at vivo with iren..
followed by dinner at this fusion bbq restaurant near st james.
afterwhich, we headed for drinks inside dragonfly or rather at the karaoke bar,
sang a couple of songs..heard many more
really celebrating-like..lolz..
loved such sessions of entertainment..just pure relaxation..=)

Accuracy of Death

2008-05-28T21:46:00.004+08:00

yes or no, does death has its accuracy?
my fav idol takeshi kaneshiro starring in the movie as a grim reaper,
i watched it alone today at vivo.
alot of thoughts went thru my mind during the movie.
just my personal conclusion.
i totally agree with the lead actress(old lady starring as the first subject that appeared) at the end of the movie when she told 'grim reaper' that even thou each life is ordinary n not special, it's IMPORTANT!!
just like how the sun is important etc..

kinda hard to understand if one hasnt watched the movie..
we r all worthy of our lives
not just fulfilling duties.

i get a bit frightened at times.
i grow to realize i have no one.
no shelter.
no space.
y do i feel this way
i'm hurt but she doesnt sees this
i really don want to go back to square one
i need to belong to somewhere
n where

nothing

2008-05-28T20:32:00.002+08:00

i went to the salon yst.
i changed my hairstyle for quite a bit i guess..
got it permed. (only the top part)
don get the wrong idea..
not those curls u would imagine, but rather like electrocuted hair..lolz..
it took almost 2 hrs or so..
while my hairstylist is doing my hair, she lent me her PSP to play so i wont get bored. N guess wat, i was hooked on the simple game. almost like bedazzled.
=D

took a train down to raffles city..
like a lost kid, i scrabbled my way to find the arthouse(sec sch gathering at timbre)
along the way, i stopped by the museum..civilisation theme thingy..
i din know this place exist..ha..'sua ku'
okies, basically.. i don go to many places..so yeah..thats y.
anyways, i arrived at our destination early.
sat down comfortably n ordered kebab n kir without waiting for the rest of my friends. no manners, but cant keep my stomach growling lo..=p

after abt 50 min or so..they finally came.
khairul,puvan,habib,qs,nicole,sijie,darrell, ming rui n weiming..
so it was just food n chats n sitting down listening to the band '53A?'
well, the lead singer sarah sang nicely~!!
n poor darrell had to act as my messenger to deliver my song dedication.
there were so many songs i wanna hear from her, but the song title i just cant remember..owells.

iren came by n joined us for a drink.
afterwhich, we went karaoke at partyworld orchard.
i was so keen on it since ages long..
yet, when we sat down n sang (occasionally standing up =D )
it felt so weird, i guess cos it's been so long since we sang..

a day out

2008-05-23T12:29:00.002+08:00

went over to iren's place yesterday..
before that, we went to jurong west area n got goldfishes for her pond..
both of us were sick so we simply bought "herbal teas" from chinese physician stalls,
hoping it will help bring down the 'heatiness' in our bodies..
lolz..

watched a japanese serial at her place..
in an air-conditioned living room..wat a luxury!
i missed air con..=(

then, i took a train down to somerset, met up with jon at cineleisure.
had dinner, took neoprints--super funny!!
watched 'made of honor'..
followed by drinks n pizza at alleybar!
i cant remember the last time i drank tequila pop..2 yrs back?
but it sure tastes good!
n seriously, i condemn martinis..=p
we took some pics with his new cam!
night mode pics turned out so beautifully`
=)

wat a shock

2008-05-16T20:50:00.004+08:00

went out with iren.
an ordinary day, lazy afternoon..
lunch at rider's club cafe..
left the 'smitten' (magazine)there n totally forgot abt it.

proceeded to holland v's coffee bean.
cos apparently, for god knows wat reasons, we just couldnt access internet there.
n we had salad n club sandwich (i love d egg) for dinner.
n when it was time to leave, yet again this time, we forgot iren's lappie!!
seriously got a shock when i got home n received a call from her..
she literally flew back n lucky enough, the manager kept it for her.
thank god..whew!

THIS KINDA INCIDENT SHOULD BE A BIG LESSON!!
we ought to really check carefully, take care of our belongings no matter where we go aye~

a long day

2008-05-16T00:38:00.002+08:00

thurs feels like a long day..
after work, searched for a patient's house..
then back home.. get changed, westmall to return the novels i rented..
had dinner with sec sch classmates at ichiban jp..
chilled at mac..
the latte frappe will not be able to keep my eyes open for another fifteen minutes..
i will definitely doze off after i finish this entry.

bb

2008-05-11T17:49:00.002+08:00

i had the craziest day at work.
nevertheless, i did reward myself after work..
went to cream bistro at pacific plaza.
met up with iren, her sis n friends - clara and emily..
continued our chillout session at wine company at dempseys!
had a great time!!
if i stayed longer, i'll probably be drinking non-stop..lolz..
well, stayed over at iren's place..
thought of watching some jap serials at her place while she studied..

n today, i watched 'wat happens in vegas' at westmall..
was funny n gd!
n before i noe it, i also bought 4 other chinese novels at sans bookshop..
i will try to finish reading it all within 2 months,
i'll be able to return the book n get 65% of the money i paid for it..+/-

=)

i hope my back ache gets better.. it's so restricting!

2008-04-28T23:49:00.004+08:00

i walked into a 'laserfair' shop at imm..
picked up 3 movies.
watched 2 of it n it got me weeping like a baby!

1)"sweet november"

2) "my girl n i"

当你知道自己没多少时间了,
深爱着你的人,
你会因为爱而选者自己承受一且...
离开吗?

i wont know wot to do, it's too heart-breaking for ur loved ones to go thru
that pain of losing..just as it's painful for the loved ones not been able
to do anything..

death can be so frightening!

sauna in my room

2008-04-22T22:16:00.002+08:00

can u imagine with the air in a room without aircon?
it's damn suffocating hot!
even with the fan switched to no.3..
i will really have to consider taking my 2nd bath!

sis will be moving out soon.
i'll be even more alone.
=/

having my restday tml..nothing much to do..
probably do some reading.

21st my fren

2008-04-14T11:55:00.002+08:00

this yr's gonna be many of my friend's 21st bdae.
since we're all born in the yr of 1987.

attended iren's at aranda country club yesterday.
pretty much the same sort of arrangement;
food, pics, craziness, drinks, birthday song n all.
food was nice.

went home early.
joanne drove us back..thank god..
god knows how much the cab fare will turn out from east to west..;)

mm, meeting up with trio gang later-wendy,qs n sijie..
wondering where we'll be heading to.
oo..i painted my nails back in batu pahat..
shiny lovely!!

my trip visiting batu pahat was alright.
seen my little adorable cousins!!
3 meals so fulfilled each time.
i slack ard in bed reading my aunt's novels whilst the older adults
were chatting away.
i completed 2 novels in 3 n a half days.
=)

visiting my relatives' plantations(getting bitten by mosquitos)
still was worthwhile knowing they planted such lovely different variety of plants n flowers..all for sale to countries like sg..
now i know how the plants we see in our lion city came abt!

quote of the day

2008-04-14T00:20:00.001+08:00

"I suppose the secret to happiness is learning to appreciate the moment."
by calvin & hobbes

hormones acting!

2008-04-09T20:10:00.002+08:00

within these 2 days, i've watched more than 5 movies..
in the theatre n at home. really satisfied!!
round the clock eating non-stop..owells except when i'm sleeping..
my metabolism is slowing down, n i'm allowing myself to give in
to the food monster that's causing my gain in weight.
seriously cant help it`
esp when i'm on leave..haiz..
excuses to pamper myself..u noe how it goes~

this cycle is gonna continue til i come back from malaysia on sun..
will be going batu pahat with my grandparents tml noon..
visiting.. n a nearby getaway! =)

ps: mosquitos n cats pls stay away from me!! ={

ten days

2008-04-07T17:45:00.002+08:00

starting from today, my annual leave starts!!
going back to wrk on d 16th..
=D

i don noe where to start..
filled with excitement..
i can sleep for AS LONG AS I WAN~
without the alarm waking me up.
n just indulge!!

went to this cafe cum restaurant called 'indulgez' at bugis for lunch..
the milk pasta was heavenly good!!
as well as my fav baileys irish thick shake!!
it almost seem as if we (serene n iren n i)
booked d whole place..just the 3 of us.
;)
would love to go back there again!

caught the movie 'definitly maybe' at cine.
beginning of the movie was boring.
but the way how the story of the character's past love life
was revealed to his daughter made it seem really interesting.
n i pretty much agree with one of the quotes which says finding the right one to marry depends on the "right time" when the "one" comes along..

i'll be catching more movies lately..
=)

the floor feels so good to step on.. cos i mopped!! =p

april's fool

2008-04-01T22:41:00.002+08:00

alrite, just when i thought no one could fool me
since i'm with myself practically the whole day except the evening with iren,
i was wrong.
stupid sms. haiyr!

i realy miss those days..was it the sch holidays..?
when i would just stare blankly outside my old house's window..
looking at the ever-changing shapes of the clouds of my fav blue sky..
admiring it for god knows how long, listening to the radio station..
or perhaps my occasional walks at the pandan reservoir,
enjoying the humid breeze..
even so, all was so comforting to my senses`
just pure relaxation by myself

it felt the same way today!
i went to vivo city alone.
bought ticket to watch 'Grace is gone' at europa.
n prior to d movie, i had an hr or more..
decided to shop at daiso for some household necessities.
was rather surprised, the simple action of just strolling
ard d aisle of various sections..
checking out the unique products they have,
finding the very one u thought would be useful..
n buying it is actually so easy n satisfying!!
i'm quite proud of myself, now i have the tools for my springcleaning`
^^

had dinner at bakerzin with iren..
afterwhich, we actually carried on to west coast mac..
not for the intention to eat..
but nevertheless, we ate again
lolz..
i'm gaining weight.shucks.

okies, 4 more days of work..then i'm gonna have my AL..
yeah~

gonna splurge

2008-03-25T14:30:00.002+08:00

i really enjoy the this time of the month..
when ur account's more hydrated..n u have a couple of days rest..
even better when u add in retail therapy n simply just splurge on food or anything!!

all smiles~

meeting iren later for dinner..
n i was thinking i could bring jon n mum out for dinner tml as well`
perhaps at a restaurant.

goodness, how am i gonna save $$ like that!?

i miss karaoke, no khakis thou..

fragile

2008-03-22T19:02:00.002+08:00

uncle waterside passed away recently.
it was a shock for everyone of us.
aunt sarah's devastated.
it seems 2008 hasnt been such a smooth n happy year afterall
for my family members n me.
arghz.

is there anything i can do

2008-03-20T14:17:00.002+08:00

simply learn not to have expectations for others..
u either get disappointed, or the other way round..furious!

back to yesterday,
i was so exhausted from work...
some days will just burn me out completely!!
reached home ten pm plus, just in time to catch my fav
american idol 7 contestant ~Carly Smithson~
gosh, last nite her performance was "solid" even thou
it wasnt her best one yet i think.
last week was better!

my off day today, went back to sgh to sit in to a talk
on handling psychiatric patients.
some stuff familiar from wot i learn back at sch..
but nevertheless, useful.

back hm now, kinda hooked to playing online mahjong..=p
will be meeting qs n wendy later for dinner at vivo`
miss them.

or even a karaoke session later in the nite><
will be doing nite shift tml for 4 days..

2008-03-12T14:18:00.002+08:00

developed rashes overnight..some were bites..
damn irritating..
n vertigo is just picking up with my flu all at the same time.
now, i got to be on steroids.
my doc did some clinical tests for me..
checking if "supposedly a stone at the back of my ear
could be pressing on my nerves"..
n asks me to go back to her immediately if there's hearing reduction..
sounds all too crazy!
i do admit at times i'd always needed someone to repeat wat they say..
but i hope that's not a sign.

sensitive skin n ezcema..very tiring aye!!
ugly!!

sudden craving for ramen..yums~

helpless

2008-03-10T14:00:00.002+08:00

just a call,
sudden realisation,
a short conversation,
everything changes.
the world falls apart.
it's back to square one.

it's helpless cos u cant help..
maybe a few years later..all's in ur reach!!
damn.

it's hateful.
i detest 'the gamblers'

y cant it all be simpler..
ppl be less greedy..
think of the ones close to u,
cos it's affecting them even when it's ur own shitty business
aint it true/
