1/2 of LOVE

YOU used to be part of a couple who care for each other, plan surprises for each other, work for each other, think for each other and most of all, love for each other.

Tired and pissed, a careless phrase spews through your lips resulting in a diminished relationship.

YOU fled, taking with you broken pieces of your heart which you thought was un-mendable. But isit really?

Now.

YOU are part of the wandering souls who long for the love and care you once had, yet to stubborn to give up your pride for the other.

With memories and a dull ache in your heart or maybe a stranger by your side, you trudge the road your ego laid out for you.

Is it worth it? Is your love ever so fragile? Is your ego worth more than the other?

To YOU: Dont regret your choices in life.

Stupidity to the max

It infuriates me when i read articles like this.

http://www.asiaone.com/News/Education/Story/A1Story20100129-195198.html

Going panty-less all in the name of love?
It just goes to show the lack of self respect and brains these girls have.

The existence of stupid beings like them have severly diminished the reputations of girls and promotes wantoness as being socially acceptable.

Will the guys see them as expression of love? They only see LUST in capital letters.

Damn these morons for giving girls a bad name.

1st Post of 2010

Happy 2010 everyone!

I thought of doing up resolutions but with no repercussions for not completing them, i will probably end up being a lazy bugger.

As usual, the start of the new year usually marks the end of my birthday with it falling on the 31st of December.

This year’s birthday gatherings have been A-W-E-S-O-M-E!

Pictures are going to be up soon and i am really glad for what The Boyfriend &  my friends have done for me!

Thank you to the boyfriend for the surprise though i kind of spoiled it with my RARE punctuality. and for celebrating it with my family too.

Thanks to Ms Kai Kai who treated me to lunch and went to Underwater World with me where i saw dolphins in real life for the first time and found out how friendly stingrays can be.

Thanks to the ee gongs who took time out of their busy schedule to meet me for dinner and gave me such a lovely necklace ( even though you guys underestimated how thick my neck can be, but that means i am damn slim to you in your mind. Which i am absolutely thankful for.  Hehehe!)

Thanks to the lovely people who wished me happy birthday on facebook, even though there are some whom i have not contacted with for years!

Thank you all for ending 2009 on a lovely note! 2010 shall be a better year for all of us!

This year seems like it is going to be a very HUAT one cause i just saw red. Red from the minor nosebleed which i am having now. Bleah.

Bad sore throat and running nose at the moment, and it is also the reason why this is a short post which is a prelude to my next one as i crash into bed and recuperate =D

Nights and HUAT AH!!

Weird, eccentric, odd, Its Just Me.

It is frustrating cause there are times where i am caught in a dilemma where i cant really talk about  because i would feel like i am being judged, when they are not really judging me, but they sound like they are judging me.

Yes i do feel like talking to someone about it, but i have no idea how to phrase it without sounding like psychotic sensitive control freak who gets all flustered up when things dont fall in to place like i expect it to.

I know i can solve it. But it messes up my plans and it gets me all riled up when i have to explain why did things turn out this way and why i couldnt have better prevent it.

Not saying anything, sometimes works well for me cause no one knows anything in the first place and thus i wouldnt be placed in the line of fire, ready to be shot when things go wrong.

Sometimes all people dont want to hear your success stories. Yet if they heard about your failures, they will consantly harp on it.

I hate being reminded of my failures because even though it pushes me faster towards my goals, achieving the goal end up being for all the wrong reasons. I know i shouldnt be affected by it. Sometimes i can just shut down and ignore it yet there are time i will lash back like mad woman and then i sink into a state (dont like the word depression) where i start blaming myself for being affected by others even though i might have reach my goals.

People dont understand why i can be unhappy after they help me achieve my goals.

Yet is it is never the goal. It is the journey that matters.

It is the simple example of killing someone to get money VS. working like a cow to get money through honest means.

This also explains why I dont even like to tell people the way i think cause i love the eccentric part of me and i get pissed off everytime i feel i have to censore my words or my thoughts.

I am a loner in my thoughts and i guess i have slowly embraced that part of me within the last 2 years.  I am just afraid i will become a loner in person in the process as i find the people i can share with slowly shrinking into just a few.

I have no idea why i feel like that.
I have no idea how to solve it.
And it is slowly killing me.

Throat’s Gone

Waiting for Kai Kai to send me the event posters.

Horribly under the weather with a bad throat, tension headaches and bodyaches.

Of all times i had to fall sick when i have work to be done.

This sounds super sicko but the idea of me have a bad throat which kind of kills me appetite kind of makes me happy.

So Fat

Birthday, Family. Food, Friends. Christmas, Love.

 Daddy’s Birthday - 22nd Dec

Location: Home
Cake: Bakerzin

 Cheesecake for daddy’s birthday. Daddy being the shy man, insisted on us not putting all the candles in so he can faster blow and cut cake to save himself from the singing of the birthday songs.

Didnt mange to take picture of my dad cause he complain his hair was too messy. Hoho!

Happy birthday to you dad!
I will work hard so that you can finally relieve yourself of the weight of taking care of the family!

Birthday Lunch At NUSS @ 23rd Dec

NUSS
3 Temasek Boulevard #05-001
Suntec City Mall
Singapore 038983
Tel: 6779 1811

My boss decided to treat the 3 december babies (including myself) to lunch at @ NUSS! Being the occasional mountain tortoise, i have never heard of the place till that very day.

I love the place to bits, it offers really good food @ affordable prices. The ambience was cozy and laidback with a bit of the atas factor. The waiters and waitress are attentive though there might be the language barrier cause some of them are China workers so we have to converse in chinese at times.

To dine at this place, you got to have membership which is quite Zzz cause i cant just waltz into that place and makan as and when i like. But i guess with that system, it ensures that members get to enjoy the exclusivity that comes with the membership.

Moving on to the foodie delights! I took pictures of everyone’s dishes for the 4 course meal. 

Appertisers!

I took the Crab and Avocado Quiche is is absolutely divine! Creamy goodness which melt in my mouth!

Our soups!

I took the cream of mussels which had lobster chunks in it!
Shiok-a-nathan! Look at how big the pieces are!

Main Courses!

Mine was the Lamb with Ratatouille. I usually dont take lamb cause i am afraid of the smell, but i really wanted to try ratatouille ever since i watch the movie “Ratatouille”. My lamb was really good and it is really tender and juicy. But i think i still love beef!

Ratatouille is pretty much stewed vegetables. A little dissapointed with it but i should say they manage to get the taste just right. Had stewed veggies which are either way too salty or bland.

Desserts!
(Everyone’s favourite)

Mine was the chocolate cake which came with my meal. A tad too sweet for me who like my chocolate cakes with a tinge of bitterness.The apple crumble is Mmmmmm! If you ever go there, you should try it!

Christmas Eve With the Boyfriend - 24th December

Both of us were totally unprepared for Christmas eve cause we have no idea where to go for a nice dinner without blowing a hole in our pockets.

So when i picked him up from work, he suggest Changi Village and i was game for it!

Love at how yummy the Ipoh Hor Fun looks! Mine was a twist which substitute the shredded chicken meat with Fried Chicken cutlet.  The boyfriend’s Prawn dumplings had a whole piece of prawn in it! 

Both dishes only cost us $3 each! How frigging cheap isit!

We had also ordered Stingray and Mussels.

When the stingray came, we were busy attacking it and i totally forgot to take pictures of it till we were half wat through. Hehe~ The mussles were fat and juicy though the sauce wasnt as good as the previous time i came.

The two seafood dishes costed us $16 bucks.

So in total this filling meal cost us: $22!
Mega shiokness not having to splurge on expensive christmas dinners!

After the meal, The Boyfriend and i check out fishing shops and he also brought me to this spot near the Changi Beach Club where the view is really pretty with big ships going past and uncles fishing. Even manage to see one of the uncles hooking up a squid and it blasted ink out! Damn cool!

We later headed to Church of Nativity of The Blessed Virgin Mary for Midnight mass, and the church choir’s performance which was really good. I just love the atmosphere of christmas at the church. It just feels different and calming even for me as a non-believer.

Somehow, the boyfriend always looks so solemn at church. A different side of him which still surprises me each time (in a good way)=D 

Christmas Celebration with the Prata Bandits - 25th December

Thai Accent
1 Harbourfront Walk
#02-145/146 VivoCity

Had a lovely christmas meet up with the gang at vivocity for our christmas lunch and gift exchange =D

Sin Er and I tried Thai Accent under the recommendation of Paiman and boy it is damn good!

I looooovvveee the Green Curry and the soups! They are really nice but then again i have weird tastebuds cause i am the only one who likes the creamy chicken soup. Heh. You can try it if you wan something different from the Tom Yam Soup =D

Pics of the foodies we ordered!

Found this picture of  Me and Sin on Paiman’s facebook.

There is something about this picture which i cant put my finger on it.
The smiles?
The reality of the situation instead of a posed picture?
Me not looking fat?

I have no idea.. I just like it =D

After the filling lunch and the chit chatting session, we headed over to Novena for dessert, another recommendation by Paiman!

Udders
155 Thomson Road, Singapore 307608
(Next to United Square)

I seriously wonder how he remain so skinny with all these yummicilious food he is introduced to. I feel myself gaining 3 kg during this meetup lo!

Ultimate to try favour: Earl Grey & Mao Shan Wang!

Despite me being a person who avoid durian like mad because of the farts and bad breath durian can give, this mao shan wang ice cream taste so much like the real deal i was hooked on it!

I am even willingly to sacrifice my nice smelling breath for it okie!

This is like the first time i ever taken durian ice cream and like it man!

Decided to get some for my family and The boyfriend who are fanatics of Durian.
Pretty pricey at 14.80 per tub but i guess it is worth it cause i know they will really love it.

Go try it if u are nearby!

***

With that it rounds up what i have been doing the pass few days and i am horrified that it is 5am now i am still wide awake. ARRGHHH!

Gotta get my arse back to bed!

10 million ideas, 10 million thoughts, yet nothing.

I am not the most articulated person, prefering to place words into writing, Yet my writing has never been good because of my amateur command in English and I place that blame on myself for not being more dedicated in my writing. The worst thing about my average standard english is that it cant be survived by my E8 standard chinese. Which = i suck at english and even more in chinese.

I am the jack of all trades but master of none because of my lack of focus. I often divert my attention into 10,000 items and doing average on all of them instead of focusing on just a few items and doing ‘em good.

For example: I can say i played captain’s ball, badminton, volleyball, badminton, squash, hockey and floorball before, yet i am neither a professional or skilled in anyone of them. Just an amateur player.

My marcom skills are not improving at the rate that i wished and planned for. Have been downloading loads of press release and yet i haven been able to set aside time to read up and analyse them cause i just feel like that are just so many other items to do!

Like working on the posters, a new event, factsheet, chinese translation of materials, visitor participations and thinking of a website layout for an upcoming event.

This lack of focus has been bane of mine and even The Boyfriend finds that i am easier distracted with my focus snapping off at rapid speed when anything comes along. I am noticing too many things without focusing what i am doing on hand.

How can i go about solving this? I have set time away and tried planning my schedule for me to read up more, to exercise, to plan my day activities yet there always seem to be not enough time on hand cause i just wan to do all of it at the same time.

Sometimes i even dread meet ups with friends much as i love them cause i feel i am not able to complete what i set out to do today. There are times i skip lunch at the office or go in earlier just to be able find more time to do my work or read the newspaper.

I have loads of magazines and books i have yet to read!
TTG Asia, Marketing Magazine, Ogilvy on Advertising, 4 hour work week as well as a back load of newspapers.

Even typing this blog entry makes me feel like i am wasting precious time.

I wish i am better at mult tasking or planning my time out with is really crucial in my line of work and for me to learn and gain even more. I am getting extremely frustrated and stressed up over this.

Gonna do up a blog entry on my week as well as read todays newspaper. I am so far back it is not funny.

Loads of errands to do tomorrow. Gotta list them down to before i forget.

Oh ya and a press release to be due on Monday.

See what i mean when i say my focus flies everywhere? I cant even focus on a few items before my mind flies off somewhere.

*Smacks head*

Something cute, something pretty, something lovely, something yummy!

 

Santa Claus goes: Ho! Ho! Ho! Merry Xmas!

 

Yummilicious Xmas Muffins for me!

Thanks baby!
