Sing Me A Lullaby

Love Loves

had a smashing weekend 2 thursdays ago. first long weekend (only 3 days) ever in the working world that made me really dread working on mon. met up with lotsa great people, had great food, and of course a great time! Woots~

Fri Sat and Sun was a line up of a flurry of activities that of which i was predominantly preoccupied with NUS Climbing's big annual event, Boulderactive: Rated X. Since last year a few of us took ugly pix of ourselves, this year i gathered more pix. i believe the girls won hands down for being able to distort our faces to look really 'ugly', of which i thought was really cool!

being a dino (alumni) of the team and havent been actively climbing, i guess i didnt quite fit into the whole scene.. of course knowing almost all of the ppl there was really great, cos most of the time i was catching up with ol' frenz and talking abt lotsa stuff, but hmmm.. somehow it didnt feel quite right.. the few times that i actually helped out was when i helped to put up the tiles, take 'attendence' for dinner, take photos. kinda redundant. and a stark contrast in comparison to last year when i helped to route judge, spot climbers, brush tiles, be a part of the F1 team etc etc. the only similarity was my continuous cheers of support for fellow NUS climbers.

i guess this is how it goes when those fade away from the scene. of course, nevertheless, i still felt that bonding of unity, determination and warmth of the team. but perhaps i wasn't actually part of the team, that feeling just wasn't as strong.. it was just different.

and i really miss that feeling.

i really do.

A Perfect Family Weekend

lazed in bed till late morning then waking up for lunch. shopping with parents for groceries. hitch a ride from sis to town to shop with bro. finally bought quite comfy black pumps which i adore. bro bought FCUK pants at a discounted price of which was fully sponsored by my mum and who'd never have agreed to do so if it were my clothes instead. rushed over to eat dinner with the whole family at one of Crystal Jade's posher restaurants and trotted over to Cineleisure to catch 10,000 B.C. movie aint too bad. did some late night shopping buying bros slippers of which i sponsored my lil bro a pair of Havianas flip flops.

whoops.. i kinda realised that tho i enjoyed my day tremendously, the way i'm describing it sounds oh-so-monotonous. but it's always fun having family outings together. more bonding time! i like! *beams* the highlight of Sunday was when the limelight shone on Granny, someone whom i have great respect for and deep deep love.

a very warm get together as i enjoy the company of my dearest couzzies who never fail to amuse everyone. this light-hearted tone and jovial atmosphere just really warms the soul.

the coming weekend is also going to be packed with activities. yippee! and it's going to be a long weekend too! woooots~

It Hit Me

*Wham!* i've no idea how what why. it just happened. just suddenly dawned on me through a simple conversation. kinda knocked me off my feet as my defensive mechanism erected itself unconsciously. it hit me. it really did. and i'm now swirling in the after effects of it, still at a loss. lemme catch my breath. the haphazard pieces need some fixing.. i've got some work to do..

Feeling Bad

sheesh.. dunno how i got a high fever this morn. when it subsides, i'm quite sure i'll recover in time to return to work tmr, but then it rises again and all i can or should do, is sleep. not that i'm complaining since today must have been the day for which i've slept the most in my life cos i dun really like sleeping the day away. kinda like a waste of time but i've no choice i guess. feeling better, but still weak n my voice is still bad.

doc's giving me another 2 days MC.. Jin's on leave tmr so my team will short of 2 ppl and i think Sand is swamped with a whole lot of stuff hearing from Zo. ugh.. feel bad.. kept saying sorry to her and wish i could lighten her work load, so hope i'll recover soon to help out my team!

* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *

perhaps sometimes i just dunno what i want or maybe it's cos of being afraid to attempt again. it's not easy walking away from a wreck unscathed or having that much stupidity to run into fire to save something that wasn't really of much value. but yet hiding is not the way to go. in the different directions that i can choose, of course i'd choose to move forward. is this the leap of faith? or perhaps the inertia to remain stationary that i'm not moving at all? i can't tell. at least for now..

Sick

think it has been quite a while since i last fell sick. fever cough flu sorethroat, the usual symptoms tt i'm probably burned out by work without even realising? aint sure.. but feeling weak is kinda frustrating and uncomfortable. my first time taking MC after starting work. thought i'd be ready to work tmr, but my fever still comes and goes so i'd might as well use the 2 days MC the doc gave me. sheesh..

was nice having a visit from frenz who came by. shall just mention Nitz for coming by tho i cant really eat the food u bought for me =] hee.. thx anyway dear and hope i'll recover tmr in time for our meeting but shall see how my body reacts to the medicine cos it doesnt seem to be taking any effect. gotta rest now. NitEz..

Delightful Days

spending time with Xin dearest is always uber lovely! she's an amazing shopping buddy which i cannot do without, but don't be mistaken cos she shops more than me, tho i hardly shop nowadays. it was ages ago since we last caught a movie together and no matter how boring the movie might be, the company is really impt. we'd just giggle at the silliest things tho the whole cinema didnt make a sound. sounds kinda dumb, but it's fun, and some parts are quite funny but dunno why no one laughed. bah!

after one movie ended, i caught another abt 3 hours later at an unearthly hour of 2am! but that movie was oh-so-worth-it! sheesh, gotta tell u abt this guy who fell asleep and was practically snoring beside me.. (T_T) seriously.. i believe his gf didnt wanna wake him up cos he was prob bummed out or sth, but he was becoming quite a nuisance and she finally nudged him. ugh! at least i didnt hafta do anything if i really couldnt stand it. oh, and ppl, pls be careful if u watch really late night movies at The Cathay, cos the carpark was pitch black save for the eerie green exit signs. so just watch your back.

and i also caught another show with Ren and co last Tues. 3 movies in 3 days. she's determined to make me a movie addict like her! and she thinks i see a smaller picture through my windows to the world just cos i've got small eyes. hmmphf.. tt's not true! i teasingly rebutted her and said tt small eyes can focus on detail better! haha! dont be so evil hor! =p

coincidentally realised that all 3 were centred on the theme of romance cos usually i'd like a wider range tho Horror is not inclusive of course (as all of u know). think Fool's Gold was not worth the money, esp paying $10 for it. but Leap Years was good tho Ren hated its repetitive scenes. and PS I Love You was just super duper sweet! This is a Must Watch! Loved it! oh, and yup, i've yet to read the book which Ren bought me last X'mas and tt silly girl went to buy one when i could have just passed her mine!

met up with my Pri sch gang for Minyu's concert! she's a very talented pianist btw and i only got to know it last yr but at least now i know =] she's playing on the left of the pic. throughout the 2hour concert, the guys dropped their headds several times cos perhaps they weren't too muscially inclined? haha, but it could be better if there were a range of instruments instead of just the grand piano. but the technical skills are really superb man. i was in awe. period. *thumbs up*

oh, and Isaac (the only guy carrying a backpack), otherwise affectionately known since young as Miao, he's a full-time photographer. he gave us the privilege of peeping into some of his works and it was real pretty! i'm into abstract and random photos which capture the natural shots of ppl's emotions, and he did that very well while covering his friend's wedding. so whoever out there is getting married, i'd recommend him!

went for another concert over the weekend @ NTU's ADM. it was Hall 6's cultural night called "Twinkle Shing!" had a range of talents but I believe KR's is still one of the best, not being biased cos i was from tt hall but the cultural groups there are really pro. the light sticks given out by the committee really added alot of life to the atmosphere, plus the constant support the crowd gave to the performers when they belted out songs and danced. singapore's hidden talent (otherwise not very visible) was when Daniel Tan and Jim Lim came out as a duo with their guitars and entertained the crowd. as friends bicker, they teased and praised each other's skills and creativity. it was heart-warming yet amusing at the same time, and indeed their talent is very commendable! all artists should use their songs!!

after the event, i finally saw a familier face: Danqi! seems like the both of us missed our JC gathering. but on the car ride home, we got to talk to Mr Tan, our CT who now wants us to call him Tony though we still arent very used to the idea. another gathering is scheduled in July when BT returns home. so hopefully i can make it then!

had a fun time teasing JJ when the Uni peeps met up. the gang grew through simple introductions and being acquaintances so it's nice to see them once in awhile and it's cool to have conversations keep flowing and laughing at the silly mistakes one another makes or TM's super cold lame jokes. so funny!

yay! i love my weekends!

HaPpyBirtHdaY Feng

one of the nicest guys i know, but too bad he's taken already =] hehe.. the other day, Teckie just dropped me a msg and we were both missing the days when we'd all just hang out in or out of the gym talking just about everything. Feng & Teckie were guys whom i could easily confide in, but too bad cos of our different schedules, it's so hard that we can meet up. or else if we do, then it'd prob be in a big group. there'd be so many distractions and stuff to catch up with others. i'm looking fwd to Boulderactive to catch all the action and updates on current happenings! JiA YoU all competitors!

anw, Feng is getting so ATAS. going to One Rochester, high tea, wine appreciation.. woah.. interesting stuff but requires so much moolah too.. bah.. think i'll just stick to my kopitiam food which consists of ah-balling and cheng tng *slurps* haha.. but of course there's the occasional splurges on relatively more expensive activities like shopping? wahaha.. i kept to my promise of not shopping for the whole of feb! ended up shopping on the 1st of March. but the 2 pieces of clothing were good buys! alright, tt's it. i'm done w shopping for the rest of the month too! (T_T) closely monitoring my finances now not only bcos i have to, but it's a good practice anyway. ooh, and i had a packed weekend, which is saitisfying and happy! hope to have a good one next week and more exercise in place. gym-ing was ShioK today!

oops.. got carried away.. Feng! hope you had a great bday! and remember, when u're getting married, i need to know! haha (^-^) hope to see u soon, though it's slightly harder since i'm not logging in any climbing sessions.. errrrr.. there's always one way or another. CheErS!!!
