FeeLing GooD!

work is real nice. perhaps it's not my 100% workload yet so it's going ok, but still, i like it pretty much =] ooohh, and RH joined this week! welcome girl! hehe.. a new friend/colleague made. hmm.. the current temp is leaving end of this week and a replacement will come in next week but only for a mth.. sheesh, and i thought i'd still have some company for the next 3 mths. bah! then the table beside me will be empty.. anyhow, my team seems to be more happening of late. as in more noise, heh.. but the only thing is, i'm being 'saboed' for 3 diff occasions.. oh well, it's not tt i'm complaining, shall just take everything as a learning experience =]

hmm.. this yr's counting down to my bday seems so mild in comparison to last yr's 21st. gone is the mad rush to buy bday decos w the PeaRs, the planning w the Spring Fling gang, the list of invites who msg to say "on! / can't confirm / busy etc ", shopping for food w parents and the best part > thinking of what presents i want! hehe *GRINZ* it was real fun! dont think i'll ever plan any thing that big in the near future unless u consider wedding? haha.. tt's still far.. anyway, this yr's gonna be diff fr the previous cos i'll be having a silly Hamster celebrating w me *blush* and of course my dearie frenz *hugz* and lovely family *muackz*

here's my lil' bro who's now officially a sergeant! WheE~ he still feels like a kid to me, tho i've gotta treat him like an adult now.. hmm.. he'll still hafta listen to me tho =p
oh and this is my first ever treat to my family paid with my hard-earned money! this place had really good chinese cuisine. it's called Treasure Court @ Millenia. i ordered a sharks' fin set for each person (it was diff like the usual kind. instead it was clear soup w a lil bit of scallops,abalone, mushroom) which consisted of an individual portion for each and beef which was real tender (unlike that of Outback), and veg and desserts. sounds little but everyone was full! haha, so weird tt after the dinner they all thanked me! sooooo sWeeEtt! hehe, lurrrve them =]

oh, and this photo was taken for fun. dear parents aren't fans of branded goods. as long as the quality is good enough and keeps them satisfied, they won't splurge on anything tt's not worth the money. but i'm suspecting tt sis will get one in the near future! *Woot~*

i miss my frenz.. working w/o the usual gang around just feels diff. i'm trying to meet diff ppl each week just so tt we all keep in contact, but it's pretty tough when everyone has diff schedules. anyway, all u guys take care and be happpieeee! *^_^*

*HEARTS* climbers

for the past 2 wks, i've gone back twice to NUS to see the lovely peeps. boy, do i miss them! i miss climbing w them > figuring out how to complete the routes, how to become stronger, the gossips in b/w climbing, the laughter tt is packaged w the sport, the determination tt burns from within the team, the ride home w the Easties.. i lurrrve and terribly miss all these stuffs, esp the ppl..

i dunno where my passion has dissipated to, i once had the mentality: i'd rather be muscular than quit climbing. apparently my priorities have switched: i'd rather stop climbing as often than be muscular. sounds silly i guess, but i'm one of those ppl tt bulk up rather easily. haiz.. i guess i'll still do some recreational climbing.

today had a mini gathering w them cos San & i decided to go Womad nx yr instead (Feng & LY pang seh! nah, not really.) as it turned out, it was coincidentally a meet up w the M'sian peeps where we all travelled to M'sia together. feels really great to hang out w the gang!

no awkward silences, no uncomfy shuffling of feet, just hearty laughters (San's is so funny!), a messy table w vege dressing in water (thx to Nit! =p), disgusted expressions cos of cockroaches (the girls), uncomfy looks cos of cigarette smoke (Feng & LY kenna most) and pro-ness when it comes to bishi-bashi (Teckie)! Let's meet up soon again!

Sufficient..

it was justa few min, but it was enough.
that little surprise, those drops of sincerity
was more than enough to end an already happy day.
it's the little things, it's the simplest of words
that really mean the most.

Come on!

i think i'm not putting my best foot forward. i think i can do better. i think i'm not performing well enough. i feel that i'm capable of doing more.

subconsciously, my boy pushes me. with his drive for excellence and willingness to learn more than what he needs to know, he pushes me to strive.

i'll try. i'll keep trying. i have to, cos i want to.

Different Perspectives of Life..

Some need big bucks to be happy,
Some need just love to feel contented.

Some need constant assurance to feel protected,
Some need just self-confidence to feel great.

Some need marriage to feel secure,
Some need just pampering to feel loved.

Some need luxury gifts to feel cared for,
Some need just a few words to brighten up their life.

Some need cheers and screams to get motivated,
Some need just inner peace to feel inspired.

Simple JoYS of my Life..

come from these darlings =]

HappeNings

Thurs met up w the Econs gang. 1st time all of us were meeting after grad! updating each other abt our lives. only Dorc went on to do honours, cos only the tough n clever will survive in tt kinda environment. hehe..on Fri, it was chilling w Charl, Ed & YX @ Settlers. tho it was only the 4 of us, it sure still packed alot of punch and lotsa fun playing mostly fast-reaction games, which Charl largely wins. we get to poke fun at each other, laugh at their slow reactions and coincidences, guess what the other party thinks etc. here's the happy cute couplewe then proceeded on to supper @ 85 to meet Nitz. whew, supper w them this time round was simple unlike the previous time i had it w them when it seemed like a feast! we all had bak chor mee, n as usual, Nit n i shared a bowl =] discussions got a bit exciting after tt while talking abt the team, and it seems like a challenging yr ahead for the guys cos of a diff training style. but hope all goes well ya'll!

Saturday was a simple affair having yummy-licious food from Brown Sugar @ River Valley Rd with my boy. it was the on-the-house-treat as promised by the boss of the place, and this time round was superb! the fried calamari was the best we've tasted so far, the duck confit and lamb rack was something different but good, and the apple crumble was perfect with raspberry ice-cream. lurrrrvely! we left quite a big tip though we needn't have paid a cent, cos the service was grrrreat!

Sunday's day was spent cycling around the fish farms. i love the wind blowing on my face, i love the exercise, i love getting familiar with the names of the fishes and corals, and i love his big smile when he found the perfect sized fish for his tank =]

The night was spent fooling around w my dearest couzzies! PohPoh's treat and i get to see my dear auntie n 2 couzzies who are currently residing in Japan! *HeaRts* all u sweeties!

In a World of Change..

the only thing that remains constant is change..

i feel like i'm not as open as i was before. i'm more cautious of how i choose my words. somehow, i'm more certain of my decisions. i'm not tt easily swayed, but opinions still matter to me. controlling my emotions are tough, but i only let them run freely to those i'm v comfy w.

on the surface, things may look simple. but those on the outside are partially blind to the depths they delve. who can really say another is transparent? that, we know not of, yet we take them for who they are. i believe in fate, but i believe in options. live your life the way u want it to be.

move forward, be confident, for regrets will possibly hold u back.

Happy 21st Birthday SaN!

the surrrprise parrrty which shocked the bday girl! woohoo~ she thought she was gg to meet her fren who had just returned from overseas =] but when she opened the door to the function room, she saw 30+ peeps starring at her and bursting their poppers. and all she could say after all the hu-ha, she kept going around shaking hands w ppl "thank you for coming, thank you for coming" silly girl! she's always this insanely polite.. and gets scolded for it =p
oh, and she's like the only person i ever know that doesn't like sweet stuff. no cakes, no brownies, no chocs, no ice-cream.. she only likes selected sweets and likes jelly beans. so look at her 'cake'! jelly with fruits and just the right taste! haha.. all planned..

anw, the night was spent chatting and playing Monopoly, of which i went bust due to Dan's high rental of his many houses. (OH, but Nita ruled the game man! earned big bucks due to her high rental nearly every corner with the highest which peaked at a whopping $11,000! madnessss) this game packs in loads of fun man! it's always super noisy, full of complaints, lotsa bargains, tons of shouting etc etc. lurrrve it! then a few of us proceeded to chill @ TCC where the topics centred on medicine issues. interesting stuff! like how when u press a certain part of ur forearm, ur hand closes up etc etc. oh and we spotted this really cool stencil which was vandalised outside Cathay. nice!
