busy.. is good..

as it refrains me from dOing the unnecessary... think i'm too late... sigh... looking forward... the best is coming... [yup.. am in the non-squential mode that sounds like babble to most... ] I've since developed a craving for soup since hmm.. can't you see... nah.. tooo dense... and yes.. that's not to be taken in literal meaning too though now I really crave for a steaming hot bowl of 靓汤。haha... i guessed that's the cantonese blood in me..

Thoughts in the train

Dreamt last nite.. Likely due to manifestation of thoughts..
Caught line n hook..
Yet not d but h. Or maybe d 2.
Too late now, really?

time for my mask... :)

.. to be continued... (think butterCUp will be happy... long long story to entertain him... haha.. butterCup a he?)

attitUdes.. mindset...value that wOrds carry...

Clammed up.. and defensive.. when your beliefs are being challenged.. For example.. learning that the celebrity that you adored might not be as pristine the marketing campaign has protrayed... Seriously.. a person with a FIXED mindset about certain things and issues, will clammed up even more WHEN his/her belief about this thing/ issues are being challenged... Question: Isn't it JUST a thin line between strong belief about the wind and water (literal translation) vs being superstitious? well.. actually.. no line drawn at all.. it all belong to the same big family ...

sMell.. BAD smell deterred me a lot.. NOTE.. my nose is sensitive... VERY... I simply can't stand ordour associated with the human body... @ a radar of 1 metre or less.. get D behind me!! Well.. comprehend why people can bother to change their dressing... YET not taking care his body.. AND rectify the BO prob...

Question :: value.. your immediatecommtiments are more important or someone in distress? you said MORE oppty... I see 。。 ya righ...where?

tassles are shorter now...

yep.. cuz may.. (the ladyboss) decided to try a style that's very "IN" in Japan nowadays... hmmm.. cuz jeanie.. my usual stylist has went on maternity leave.. Congrats on your new baby girl!! sO.. may did my hair instead.. Kinda cute lady.. kept saying“ 帮你剪得美美" ..

Digress.. had been listening to more Podcasts recently.. There's this interesting one on grammar (Grammar Girl)... Would try to be grammatically correct as much as possible... :).. And the celebrity chef 's Jamie Oliver - podcast.. ahha... my favorite chef .. (actually I don't know many...) but haha.. loved watching the naked chef on TV.. though it seemd to have stopped airing on local free-to-air stations nowadays... Well well..

AM rather digusted at a recent episode of the happytreefriends.. Poor sniffles..

hmmm am enjoying the oldies on class 95 now.. (well.. certainly from era past my age... but... like the tempO.. as well.. as songs that accomplied my late nights as a student.. though I heard those songs on perfect 10 then.. haha.. the songs progressed from station airplay to another too... )

"mutated" terms...

A simple word can actually have diverse meaning... or rather it has been revoluntionarised to take on a different meaning... Shocked to learnt a whole lot of new terms when running the search engine on google on a common word found in dictionary and certainly child-friendly.. what can you expect next?

Privacy....?

Next question.. Privacy...
hmmm.. one of my friend's blog has undergone streamlining.. Or.. springcleaning? well.. frankly.. nothing on the web can be kept hush hush... bear in mind with certain blog like blogger... with no choice of private and public posting.. once published.. it's free reading material for all...unless you delete it anyway.... (well.. the authorities have been pretty stringent with the content on the web anyway, so blog responsibly..)

hmm come to think of it.. it's freaky that the reader of your blog might be a complete stranger.. and yet get to read about every single aspects of your life (ie your blog is your daily diary..). hence.. some choose to keep their blog address private.. (remember.. search engines nowadays are rather powerful... ).

then, it must take a lot of courage for those who publish their own memoirs.. (though most who did so are usually public figures, hence.. made no difference anyway....)

well.. so why do i blog? some kind of attention seeker? well.. haha.. maybe ? or.. not really. it doesn't matter that my life (or the tiny frecks of it that i blogged) might be breakfast reading material to some... well, at least I get the chance to write.. (lest I lost the skill of writing.. ) and.. it's a good way for my friends to keep in touch with what's happening despite the infrequent meeting up ....
Also.. I gathered some might be inspired by what I wrote.. cuz it's true testimony! (at least I know huiling felt inspired...)

well, this might double up as platform to future biz venture.. haha.. (per buttercup's idea last SUn.. Even has came up with a simple biz plan.. way to go.. no wonder you are enrolled in the entreprenuer module...)

as usual.. there's still good old parable-method of blogging... illustrating your innermost thoughts and feelings via fictional stories.. like what bro jae does..

hahaha..

Disguised

Absent-minded me placed my phone in pouch together with a ballpt pen while in a rush to head 4 work. Never did i expect the pen to leave markings upon markings.. Urgh! Hence left with no choice but to hide them under some nail art. :)

Nasal Spray...

it's indeed an yucky medicine to apply... And I've to inhale 4 snorts of it per night.. Apparently.. my prolonged running nose is due to sinusitis .. well.. well.. spent the wet friday @ home.. recuperating.. (didn't get to sleep but the medicine is rather strong... will make u snooze... cuz was watching a dvd.. the Prisoner of Azkaban and.. though it was interesting.. nearly dozed off towards the end.. hmmm.. but guess that's the purpose of the medicine.. hmm..

hmm... praying that this sinus prob will go away sOOn... :)

zapping off to expo now.. with a congested trachea...

three layers...

Can't believe it.. Felt like a dumpling beneath three layers of clothing.. (a knitted top.. a cardigan.. aNd a thick woollen jacket!) And my fingers are still feeling kinda cold..  i hope i'm not falling ill again... noSe a-dripping...

apple-d

ya.. I just apple-d.. wonder would i receive a call?...

be like Joshua...

Joshua 1:6 to 9

"Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give to them.
Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.
This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall medidate in it day and night, that you will make your way prosperous. and then you will have good success.
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."

light-headed..

well.. the tale sign that it's time to sleep... hmm.. ya.. should have gone home earlier to rest... but stayed till the end.. I have a choice.. and i'm glad i exercised it.. :)

visited my seldom updated xanga site.. wow.. it's a whooping 996 days of blogging already.. hmm.. haha

better catch some winks.. else.. will ko later.. knocked out.. that is.. >.<

new ~ apple ad today... should i or not?

new ~ plan .. not going back..

virus

Dislike it - be it be an offensive against my computers stuff... Or me..

yet, woke up 5 plus this morning with a splitting headache & pukey feeling.. thought an hour of sleep would do wonders.. WRONG.. headed to the doctor this mOrning... instead of work. apparently.. I displayed the onset symtoms of a viral infection... Hence was sent home to rest... :P

hmm.. has been working rather late since the new year has began.. well, and it's NOT an easy feat to call a cab @ 11pm to head down to Shenton Way.. I was cut off from the comfort hotline after 10 minutes if waiting and waiting after my request was dispatched! Tried another cab svc but to no avail.. Thank God that a cab that was changing shift to pasir ris came along when i reached the cab stand (cuz I reckon it's pointless to keep dialing... ) :)

hmm... am still adapting to new work.. well.. man being imperfect in nature, has his flaws.. well.. well.. first of all.. i must like what i'm doing... :)

hmm.. and.. i've gotten my iPod.. winterberries... that's its name.. why berries? well.. I like berries.. strawberries, blueberries, raspberries... wolfberry.. (that's the herb rite?)
And to explore the video function... I'd downloaded some video podcasts (well.. S'pore doesn't support iTune Store yet.. so.. can't purchase anything online...) And.. had been watching this cartoon.. Happy Tree Friends.. ahha.. not for the faint-hearted... ahha... I like the starting portion cuz the cuddly characters are still alive and cute... and yup.. the catchy theme song...

:) medicine taking effect.. need to sleep now... :)

letting go...

wonder why one tend to hold on than to let go? It takes more effort to hang on than to let go, yet man usually choose to go against the law of gravity... to hold on than to let go... Why? Holding on relates to staying in the realm of "I know this situation.. I like this familiarity, it takes no extra effort to be re-accquainted with situation and stuff again..." AKA.. staying in the realm of comfort zone. ~ remind me of the familiar catch phrase I learnt in AB101- my OB module.. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

2006 has came by and gone... It has been a year of roller coaster ride for me... Up and down the valley... Many new experiences... New stretching experiences.. like filling in the gap out of a sudden, with support frm some... winning some over.. losing some cuz of some reasons or another that's known to "the some" but not to me.. (well.. i did what i could to salvage.. the ball is not in my court anymore...)... transistions after transitions.. rise and fall... (truly, the higher the level, the harder the fall, the more difficult to recover.... ).. in midst of this... He stills remain the same.. despite of the level of my faith, my attitude..

31 Dec 06.. was asked to help out @ the very last minute cUz of the "sabo". Woke up @ 9am and saw charlene's sms... Much to the disdain of my flesh.. I got up and changed... Frankly, i wanted to spend the last day of 2006 resting cuz it has been work and work non-stop.. (ya.. martha-spirit).. During the 3rd praise song.. truly... reflecting the meaning of praise.. praise is most sacrificial when you don't feel like praising... (can give you 101 reasons if i want to endulge in a pity party... ) Yet. chose not to... can't help the tears flow during the bridge of destiny when i was reminded of the flashback of 2006 and why was all these part of the journey.. Truly.. God is good.. all the time.. He wastes no experience - good or bad.. Man may fail you but God nevers...

hmm guessed i gave some a shock after i broke down when Kelly was praying for me.. well.. cuz the words spoke right to me.. hmm fear not...

hmmm it was a good fellowship that afternoon with Charlene, Cherie and Steven... many things that Steven shared were more than a reminder.. a confirmation of what I need to do...

to sum it all.. though it was a battles-filled 2006.. it ended well.. and really thankful for the leaders that God has placed over me: Ryan, Steven & Alvin..

There are much more for me to learn and grow.. and it's high time to stop circling in the wilderness...
