sunday

my coach bag will be personally delivered to me tomorrow! cos the shop says it's their fault that they closed early that day and offered to make a personal delivery to me. yippee! looking forward to my cleaned bag. haha. my bag is cleaned at cleanique bags services pte ltd. they're located at fook hai building [behind chinatown pt], can get ur branded bags cleaned there professionally.

jimmy didn't bring my camera today. so no pics yet.

we went to suki sushi for lunch today at punggol plaza. there's this dish called fried salmon skin. it's a total turn off. at my first bite, i blurted out "awful taste!" in mandarin, and jimmy stared at me for that.

sundays are always sleepy isn't it. i had already discovered this since my teens. sundays are sunny and great for sleeping in. it's just too hot outside, and the dread of blue mondays makes you totally not in the mood to go out.

---------------------------

saturday at home feels abit different but not too different.

a series of unfortunate events happened to me today.
1) went to collect my coach bag but the shop closed early.
2) some workers knocked into me, and while trying to avoid that knock, my right shoulder bumped onto something protruding from the wall. hurts.
3) went to 43A tras st, only to realise that revive wellness has moved to 61 tras st.

revive wellness looks pretty, very clean and bright and slightly romantic. the reception area is big! with beautiful white furniture. kelly now has her own room. the couple's room is really nice! the entire ambience of the place creates sleepiness[relaxation] in you. i like :)

watched the 2 variety shows hosted by jacky wu, funny as usual. he is really good!

i hope jimmy remembers to bring me the camera tomorrow, i wanna upload the pics from the Audi Private Preview last Thursday.

time to sleep now. i've found a new site for sudoku at http://www.websudoku.com/
this one is more challenging as they have more categories [easy, medium, hard, evil]. the old one has only 2 [easy, hard].

for hard, the average time is 9min, but mine is around 7min.
for evil, the average time is 12min, but mine is around 3min.

weird huh.

irritating

i just want to have a rest. becos i have fever, sore throat and flu. it's like, when you have fever, you feel sick and weak and all warm and giddy. and when you have sore throat, you feel that the throat is really painful, even when you swallow saliva or sneeze, it gets super painful? and flu, the nose keep running [you know what's that?], and you keep sneezing and blowing your nose. what, u never had sickness before? oh my.

no wonder you don't understand.

well, thank God, i forced myself to rest just now and i am feeling better now. So when a person is sick, he or she should have good rest. Sleep. not Work. Sleep. not think about Work. So it's like, don't try to make me feel it is super sinful to fall sick. I know i should keep healthy, but sometimes when you didn't have enough rest and water, you fall sick. and i seriously don't believe it is a sin.

Sick
you might go.. "what? again?".

reasons why i fell sick [speculated]
1) didn't drink enough water since long ago.
2) big meal, 3 days ago
3) ate 2 slices of chocolate cake in one night, 3 days ago
4) had a big meal consisting of all unhealthy food, 2 days ago
5) slept after 3am for many nights
6) ate curry rice yesterday

signs i was going to fall sick
1) extreme sleepiness in the middle of the day
2) flaking skin on my nose and chin
3) acne
4) dry, cracking lips

anyway, it started yesterday. i felt really tired in the middle of the day, right after lunch at 3pm. i had an urge to just head to bed and sleep. but it wasn't possible, since i was right inside takashimaya. so i went back home and slept til i woke up to watch spop hurray.

i decided to sleep early, so i played sudoku at about 11.30pm and went to bed about 12am. few hours later, i was sneezing badly. very badly. and running nose. very bad running nose. forced myself back to sleep, so i need not get up many times to get tissue paper. when you're sick, u can't think properly. you get up many times to get tissue paper, when you could actually just put the tissue box beside you.

woke up this morning at i dunno what time, cos i was all groggy and smsed kenneth and jimmy that i can't go to office. back to sleep again.

went to buy strepsils. i'm having my lunch now. later i'd be taking the flu medicine and i'd be all groggy and concussed. i'm expected to be back in the office later today, but i'm not sure if i'd be able to. let's just sleep and find out later.

Sodagreen

they reached me last week. from taiwan. on the left is the 2nd album, and on the right is their first. their 3rd album is with xiaoyun.

我是夜猫子

just in case you can't read the above, it means "I am a night cat". Wahaha! That's a literal translation, meaning I love to stay up late.

Night time is quiet, cooling, and peaceful. It provides a wonderful ambience for relaxation, imagination and listening to music.

This morning, I went to see 2 clients early in the morning. Was super sleepy when I reached home, caught a short nap for about 45 min and went to a new client's place at Redhill.

Today we celebrated jimmy mum's birthday! bought this cake for her :)


Actually i'm kinda sleepy now. i will go take my daily dose of sudoku before hitting the pillows.

looking back nov 2003...
my first entry was in 11 november 2003.
it's so funny, looking back, i've actually been blogging for more than 4 years!

that time i had already graduated from university and working temp at asiaone. horrible life. earning around 1k a month [what? can you believe that??] and always ending up having no money to eat, buy things or even to top up my farecard.

i'm thankful for what i have now. really. account going to 0, no money to eat, no money to buy clothes/shoes/bags etc, no money for transport, is a thing of the past.

no more poverty! no more barely enough! no more just enough! abundance and more abundance is what i'll have now and to come. it's a personal commitment.

March is gonna be over in 10days.

Today is the last day for CPF-OA submissions. Kinda rush in the morning and one of my clients volunteered to come see me in the office cos he knows today I'd be quite busy. And he came straight from work after his night shift. *Grateful

[Left pic] my schedule for this month. kinda crazy for the first 3 weeks, all messy and scribbled. Hopefully every month will be this crazy. It gives me a sense of existence. Sometimes when I get too free, I feel I don't exist.


a glimpse of the little fishies biting jimmy's legs! it's not painful and from his relaxed face, you might guess it should be rather comfy.

he's looking intently into the "far waters", praying for more fish to come bite him. There was a family of 3 sharing the same pool with us and they "took" 70% of the fish once they were dipped in.

jimmy's mum was there for the dip as well, but due to copyright issues, i'm not a liberty to disclose the photos with her inside. heh heh.

*pic taken at kampong fish therapy. it's located at novena ville. here's the webby if you're interested :)

Thoughts, thoughts, thoughts. Worries, worries, worries.

What exactly do I want for my life?

I love simplicity, but I loathe mediocrity.

I long for novelty, but I yearn for stability.

Sometimes it's easy to say and preach, but does the heart really mean so? Will the hands move in accordance to what you say?

Are things right when you say it is right?
Are things wrong when you say it is wrong?

What is good and what is evil? Where is the line and does the line really divide?

****************************************************

It's another moment of my life when I am thinking deep again. I am not exactly thinking the above, but things even deeper and I do not know how to put into words.

Am I doing what I have been destined and called to do?
Am I not doing what I have been designed and meant to do?

Have I done what I needed to and wanted to do?
Have I not done what I am supposed to do?

Is my life at it's fullest yet? How full is full? If my life is not as "full" as yours, am I inferior to you? Or if your life is different from mine, should we compare?

I wish the world had been made simpler.
Or maybe, this world had been created to be simple, but the acts and thoughts of man had changed it to become so complicated as it is today.

I wish people are simpler to fathom.

*************************************************
Are rainy days gone?
it hasn't been exceptionally rainy these days. at least for yesterday and today. what we're experiencing is the la nina effect, and it is the wettest and coldest March in the past 70 years [if I didn't remember wrongly :P]
The term La Niña refers to the extensive cooling of the central and eastern Pacific. Globally La Niña, in very general terms, will mean that those parts of the world that normally experience dry weather will be drier and those with wet weather will be wetter.
Rainy March.
Well, according to what I learnt, the wettest days for this la nina is over. The temperatures these few days had been between 24-27 degree celcius on the average, which is around the ideal air-condition temperature. Cool cool.

New Blog Look


hey i've completed a new look for my blog. it's the pon and zi-cum-galbo chocolate look. i like both pon and zi, and galbo chocolate. they don't really come with each other, so it looks weird and messy, but i love it cos they're what i like.


i tried to embed an mp3 into my blog but apparently i couldn't do it, cos i dunno how to. will research into that.


it's another rainy day today! was storming earlier. the rain has stopped now but it still looks gloomy. it's the light grey sky today. actually i prefer the dark grey one.


i didn't sleep well last night, i think i slept too late and now i am a bit groggy. i can't remember if i had my breakfast. but i didn't have my lunch.


ok going out soon.

i seriously need some sleep.

I have changed so much


I was busy changing the outlook of my blog and uploading pics when faith msn-ed me. She said she is reading my blog and she commented "it's diff". I wonder if she meant "difficult to read" or "different". She meant "different".

I didn't really take notice of this comment, til she asked me about my past blogs.


it triggered me to read some of my past blogs.. i'm so shocked. so many things in the past i forgot and can't really relate to noe.

i even watched this movie "Lemony Snickett's a Series of Unfortunate Events", and i don't remember i did. and i have no idea what this movie is about.

last time life was so much simpler.

it's just about friends, family, God and work.

now there are much more that i think about.
more complicated.
it's scary, thinking about the past. and how distant the past and present is.

time flies and it really did fly. and it will continue to fly. it's like sand seeping through ur fingers and there's no way u can stop it.

oh man, so negative!

I am Back!

Horrible me.

I had not been blogging for 1 year and 2 months??

this is ridiculous, unforgivable!

Finally, I found out how to log in using a gmail account.



My blog looks ugly :( I'm in the midst of revamping it so I guess it'd be pretty in a few days! :)

Rainy Days
these days had been rainy. i didn't really like rain, cos it's wet and makes my feet and shoes wet. and the umbrella will be wet. and clothes and hair might be wet too and of cos the bag.

but recently, i love the rain! it's cooling and i get to wear clothes that i only get to wear during november and december, the usual rainy months. and the sky looks dark grey, it simply feels soothing and calming. and the ambience, is cosy romantic. and the sound of rain, is so therapeutic. amazing rain. and the rain looks pretty on the window sill, on the window panes, on the roads, the blurred vision of trees and roads due to the rain. how scenic.










It's not only rainy today, it is STORMY!
