 | Just A Simple Girl Having Fun with her Panasonic, Lumix | Jan 2, 2007 |
Site STILL IN CONSTRUCTION! For the viewing pleasure of those who are damn bored and have nothing else better to do. (Ooooh) It's been the longest winter without you I didn't know where to turn to See somehow I can't forget you After all that we've been through Going coming thought I heard a knock Who's there no one Thinking that I deserve it Now I realize that I really didn't know If you didn't notice you mean everything Quickly I'm learning to love again All I know is I'ma be ok [Chorus:] Thought I couldn't live without you It's gonna hurt when it heals too It'll all get better in time And even though I really love you I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to It'll all get better in time I couldn't turn on the TV Without something there to remind me Was it all that easy To just put aside your feelings If I'm dreaming don't wanna laugh Hurt my feelings but that's the past I believe it And I know that time will heal it If you didn't notice boy you meant everything Quickly I'm learning to love again All I know is I'ma be ok [Chorus:] Thought I couldn't live without you It's gonna hurt when it heals too It'll all get better in time And even though I really love you I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to It'll all get better in time Since there's no more you and me It's time I let you go So I can be free And live my life how it should be No matter how hard it is I'll be fine without you Yes I will [Chorus: x2] Thought I couldn't live without you It's gonna hurt when it heals too It'll all get better in time And even though I really love you I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to It'll all get better in time |  | It's been a long time since I've posted pix at Multiply, cos you can do it much faster on Facebook. But now that i'm getting sick of the latter, it's back to good ol'Multiply again=) Haven't gotten to take many pix this time around as compared to the last CNY, maybe cos it was more of a non-event this yr;p |
After my failed attempt to revive blogging after creating a Livejournal account with only one pathetic entry to boast (since the days of Xanga died of a natural death), i shall again bravely give myself another chance at blogging, only this time it's at Multiply.
Many a times, it's mere procrastination that makes me stop short at sitting in front of my really chio bright red vaio typing away. But today, i shall break away from my usual lazy self and indulge in a narcissistic entry for a start.
Having being woken up on a chilly wed morning by my colleague's sms, i lazed in bed about an hour or so before i dragged myself outta bed (with considerably less effort this time) and decided to head to East Coast beach for a jog. It was supposed to be a weekly routine, after I got myself a set of pretty Nike sports attire 2 wks ago in the hope of motivating myself to run (vain i know..heh), but i was simply too drony to do anything strenuous last wk.
Today is going to be different i thought. No laziness, no excuses..nothing.
But a large part was also to prove law wrong, who kept insisting that I should 'simply hang my track shoes and stash my running attire' at the back of my already full wardrobe 'cos 'i know you won't run one'. Hmph!
***
Brisk-walked to East Coast Park and after a quick warm-up, jogged for 15 min to the tunes of Eric Clapton, Maroon 5 and Queen before my stamina started to fail me. Huffing and puffing away, i stopped. Age has gotten the better of me, hahaha (then again I was never a pro-runner to begin with!)
Headed for Coffeebean for my Egg's Ben breakfast and my daily dose of caffeine- al fresco style. It was pure bliss to me. The weather was cool and fantastic, the breakfast was yummy, and I could read the papers and people-watch all at the same time=) There was no need to keep track of time (in fact i wore no watch), it was just me, myself and i..
I remembered watching the people around me, especially the yummy mummies blading with their cute little toddlers in solid, pretty prams, and wished I could be just like them. Carefree, rich (expats have to be rich), young, pretty and a mum to a cute little thing! Except for the fact that the really cute toddlers were mostly ang-mohs with curly wurly hair, so I've no idea how I'm gonna achieve that;p For a start, I could snag a cute ang-moh guy, but that will have MANY implications. Then again, I consider myself a very loyal girlfriend despite everything, heh.
So as I was day-dreaming away and allow myself to get lost in an almost non-existential world, a nagging thought at the back of my head forbade me to entirely consummate what could be a beautiful moment.
In my usual neurotic fashion, I had a lot of what-ifs on my mind. What if Mas Selamat appears here? How will I react? What will I do? Will he have a gun? a knife? Many of you may find it lame but being a constant worrier by nature, I couldn't help but think. Also, I often subscribe to the thought that 'you never know what will happen'. This had a lot to do with my mum, who like me, worries a lot and is extremely protective of me. So it's in the genes k? I tried not to let paranoia get the better of me, and continued sipping my coffee and reading the papers until of course, the papers reminded me that the guy is still on the loose and to watch out for discarded clothes! Let's just hope and pray he gets caught really soon;p

Sui often asks me if there's any updates back home here in S'pore, i always tell her 'nothing..same la, boring'. So yes, life's quite monotonous lately..it often alternates between work and home and occasional meet ups with friends (but as a good friend recently reminded me, I need to put in more effort in the department of the latter). Work's not an excuse, but sometimes, it tires you out so much that all you want is to stay in and nua. Hopefully I'll break away from my usual nua-ness and behave like a 24 going on to 25 yr-old lady instead of a 60 yr old ah-soh.
Enough rambling for a start today, ain't sure what I'm gonna do next before heading down to town later to thread my brows. But one thing's for sure, no hitting the sack and waste my precious off day away |  | It's the delayed pix again, hehe..chyi must be thinking FINALLY right?? sorry dear..have been really bz. Anyway, we headed to Aston's at Katong for dinner (my current fave restaurant, cheap and good!! but must be willing to wait) and to HK cafe thereafter for tea..yummyyy. It's always fun to catch up the the girlies, 'tho most of us are bz with our respective lives and work, we're always able to pick up from where we'd left. That's the beauty of girlfriends. Love y'all. Enjoy!! |
|  | Took a break from work 2 weeks ago, just a short breather. To indulge in my loved ones, family and friends alike, for the turning of my 24th birthday=) It was great! Just wished the break could last a lil longer;p |
|  | Due to an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction, had to rush home to change before meeting my dear cuzies for drinks at Demsey Rd's PS Cafe. Nice ambience, the dessert was excellent..and we've got a big surprise! Reuben came back from HK over the weekend before sui leaves for NY. It's always nice to catch up with my cousins, love them to bits! i'm gonna miss ya dear, take care and have all the fun u can in the big apple! Sui: pls send me the pics u took, realised we only took a couple of shots on my cam;( i want the pic with us!! thanks! Added a few more shots which I finally uploaded *sheepish grin* nite out with the girlies for a second farewell dinner before sui left |
|  | We celebrated the belated birthdays of our 2 Aug babies (Joanna, 13 Aug and Cheryl, 16 Aug) yesterday at Chyi's place. It was supposedly a pot-luck session but chyi and her boy, sean, very generously volunteered to cook for us instead. Which works out well since I was working in the morning and can't cook for nuts. It was a sumptuous spread (details later) and a great get-together, as always=) Disclaimer: Please be warned of cam-whoring. |
|  | Another real delayed post-up of pix..I've been a huge procrastinator;p Roy ah roy, it's been more than a month since you've left? we're all missing your funny antics and great presence. Thanks for all the laughter and joy you've brought to everyone=) But we'll still have our gatherings nonetheless, so it's not all goodbye yar? Take care mann, and all the best!! |
|  | I know this is LOOOOONG overdue. 2 and a half months late to be exact, heh;p Anyway, this was at our mama Kat's lovely princess Sarah's one month baby shower at her place. With good food and great company, we all celebrated her beautiful arrival. Congrats again Kat!! Wonder how much she has grown since, hmph..In case you're wondering, my company's indeed a very fertile place..I'll recommend those who are planning a family to join us!! It's called the 'baby qi'=) |
|  | It was dinner at The Ellenborough Market Cafe at Merchant Court hotel last Thurs where we said our bittersweet goodbye to Eugene. Work will never be the same without him but we are all truly happy for him that he has moved on to greener pastures=) So there, all the best Eugene! You'll be dearly missed by all. Thank you once again for your wisdom and guidance..cheers! |
