In war with evil flu!

It's been a looooong time since I've been so sick. Began with a very bad throat, then stuffy nose, then cough. And through out these few days, fever never left me. Posted on FB a few nights ago:

"Am so hot."

I meant my fever of coz but I actually had friends liking it and commenting on it! Made me so paiseh, though a couple of them are probably trying to be 模拟两可 like me.

Seen doc twice, and was on mc for 3 days. Went to work today looking like a Twilight calefare and immediately regretted it when I started to feel my head pounding and sorta breathless. Decided to take half day thereafter. and my Big Boss shoo-ed me home too.

I hate these sweets:

There's also a bottle of cough syrup hidden from focus. Since young, I always have to break the bigger pills into halves before I could swallow them. Otherwise I'll gag haha.

Looks like it's gonna be a stay-home weekend. Cancelled tomorrow's appointment already. Hope I will win this battle soon!

那些年....

The Ninja Turtle days, were 20+ years ago.
~ My lovely childhood.

Greenview Secondary School days, were 18 years ago.
~ The best time of my life.

<<关怀方式>> was a super hit 18 years ago.

Nanyang Technological University days, were 12 years ago.
~ The most boring academic years ever.

911, was 11 years ago.
~ Will never forget the shock and trauma the world went through.

Mambo days, began 10+ years ago.
~ Though I've retired grandly, it would forever be my favourite clubbing moments with huge loads of memories.

D-Day, was 9 years ago.
~ The worst day of my life.

It's the age of years and some of the 'historic moments' like that, that hits you suddenly. And the realization that OMG, I now have memories of 10+ or 20+ years ago too..

Monday Boo

It's human, and easy for one to condemn anything and everything. But before doing so, reflect and ponder. Because someday down the road, you might be the very thing that you had fucked before.

What makes you then?

IMO, Disgusting. Totally.

With the 8th flip of the calendar page....

... we've entered September. Almost typed 'entered into' but it's not necessary as 'entered' already means 'going into' and hence 'into' is redundant. Just like 'bounced back', 'reverse back', 'green in colour', 'add an additional', etc...

Anyways, it's September tomorrow. Time and days are just swooshing by so quickly.. I've used the following song title by Green Day somewhere in my posts before:

"Wake me up when September ends"

At the rate days are flying, I don't think I have that much time to even snooze at all.

Ramblings of a post-long weekend

August 2012 is a super jam-packed month. And I'm already saying this when the month is yet to be over haha.. programmes every weekend and even weekdays! But I'm not complaining hee.

Been on a gastronomic exploration well, more than ever, recently especially for breakfast! I looooove big breakfasts on weekends. Though my choice is always the same - Eggs, sausages, potatoes, eggs, eggs, and eggs. There are sooo many quirky and quaint cafes in Singapore nowadays and each has its own to offer! Simply love eating and then nua-ing at such cafes, watching the world and time go by.

At the rate I am eating, I need to work out more! Speaking of which, I've bought spanking new and super chio shoes for my vball, badminton, running, etc:

Tadah!! Super like them! Though my running shoes look red in the picture, but it's actually hot pink! And though my court shoes are white, I think they are super stylo haha! Small snippet, I went to Queensway to shop on Tues and the very next day, my old track shoes decided to fall apart. I was like "Why didn't you spoil earlier!? GRrr..." So I had to make another trip. -_-" But it was worth it =D

Just a little ramble and back to work now!

It has been 7 years..

Cliché as it is, it is amazing how time flies and how much have happened.

七年了.

You have never been forgotten.

大舅, 干杯!! =)

One Second Chance

Was talking to a buddy earlier and we spoke about a second chance that he was granted and working things out now. Am very happy for him, though I said it's a good and yet a bad thing. Erasing everything and starting all over with a blank piece of paper ain't easy at all but then again, how many times in life do you get a second chance?

That got me thinking of course, and came out with the picture above. If you are given a second chance for just one thing/matter, what would you choose to do with it?

Being an audience on the floor as well, I'm asking myself hard. My definition of a second chance allows me to change an action/decision and ultimately, kill 'If Only'. BUT. I was gonna type another point when I stopped. And that is, "Change things for the better / Retrieve the lost (and for some, to lose that something you wished you never had instead)." - A second chance doesn't guarantee you better endings. In the course of change one could, of course, achieve this but that will also depend on whether fate and destiny choose to be your angels or saboteurs. And while you are putting in all the effort you could, do not assume all else is ceteris paribus.

There is no right or wrong answer. For Yours Truly, I guess learning from the past is of utmost importance and not to bite the dust again. A second chance is hard to come by, but when it does, be sure to cherish it. And perhaps make friends with fate and destiny haha. =) 

It's been a long, long while...

It's like I've walked into a room full of dust, cobwebs and covered furniture. A room full of memories and thoughts but all seemingly lifeless and dead. It's been a long, long while indeed. Much have happened; a long learning, exploring and discovery process full of rollercoaster emotions and new memories, but no point putting them into words anymore. I've learnt a great, great deal about myself and most importantly, about being happy.

OK! Enough of the drama opening! Hahaha!

580 days later, I am hereby bringing life back to my min-boggling room! Removed the waaay outdated picture and tried out the new templates. As you might already know, I seriously lack in the art/design department, hence make to do with it for now. I can't promise regular postings like before but well if you are still reading my humble blog, thank you!

Leaving you with a huge smile for now:

Walk into 2011 with Me

2010... has been an awful awful drag and wait.

It's weird that after the burst of excitement upon getting the news, the flame died down quite a bit (maybe lots of shit to kiok? 舍不得 my friends, etc.) during the past 2 weeks.. but now that it's getting nearer and nearer, it will probably shoot up again very soon.

I'd spent the longest time ever to get a job.. been to countless interviews, spent (I dare say) 80% of my leave on them and all ended up with false hopes and major disappointment. Was asked 'how's your interview' till I also damn paiseh. Dragged myself to work everyday, worse when I have to go to Senoko from Bedok.. Tired, listless and totally unmotivated. Never felt so bad before, to the extent that I was like in a state of depression. Each time I see/hear my name in emails or whatever, I really hated my name so much. The surge of instant irritation, frustration and even anger, I can't describe. I guess you could sense some from my previous posts too...

This in turn, have affected myself a lot.. including 很多无辜的受害者 around me. A very bad thing is, I don't leave these in office.. weekends I might be better but it's like there's an an auto-mode setting on me on Sunday evenings weekly - Pre-Monday Blues. Then During, then Post. Never-ending. I get insomia all the time too, which is like adding oil to fire. My colleague congratulated me and said she welcome the old Miss Sunshine @ Somerset back. Yes, that was my old nickname... hard to believe, even for myself.

I'm sorry for affecting you in one (or many) way(s) or another, be it my whinings, complains or sian-ness via msn, emails, calls or face-to-face. They were totally uncalled for.. And thank you for all the cheer-ups and support that you've given me...

BUT!! The dreadful days are over, I promise you. I won't know what the new job entails, but at least I'm all ready and eager to face it. It's definitely gonna be more challenging and exciting, for sure. A bit of teaser.. I've gotten news that I might be sent to dxb for a convention. Already. =p

After the rain comes sunshine and rainbow. Walk with me into a happy and exciting 2011.

Finally Found.

I am typing this on 29 Nov, but can only publish it today.

After a whole bloody painful year, I can finally end my search. On 29 Nov morning when I received the call, I was in a total shock and had totally no idea how to react. It's like having a non-stop and no-need-money fireworks display in my heart and brain; It's like you've been yearning for something so badly for so long, and finally when it's placed in your hands, you don't even dare to believe and hold it. It was such a fast process too... 1st interview on 24 Nov, 2nd on 26 Nov and voila!

Next, after the fireworks finally subsided, comes the flooding of practical thoughts. A new beginning, a brand new hope. Having to leave all I have established here, all my sistas, brothers, and uncles. Wah, just typing the previous line makes me wanna tear liao.. when the day comes, I'm sure to rain buckets. See, Uncle KH just came and passed me a curry puff bought specially for me, coz he knows I like it. I'm gonna miss his naggings and noise so much.

I've worn the shoes to take the huge step out, now what lies ahead, is the path that I'm gonna go through. A crawl, a stroll, a sprint? The new environment, colleagues, boss, etc... No idea... But these are the least of my thoughts now. I am so looking forward to it.

I've finally found you!
