Speechless

Someone's getting married. But I don't know whether I should be surprised or take it as expected. In fact, I don't want to think too much about it.

And guess what.. tomorrow is Valentine's Day and yup...

I'm still single.

1 year has passed...

It has been 1 year since I last read and updated my blog. So what have I been doing lately? Actually, nothing much really. Currently, I am working as administrative staff in an insurance company. Life has been quite fast-paced ever since I stepped into the working industry. Almost everyday, time is just like water, slipping fast. And it always seem that there isn't enough time. But strangely, when I want the time to pass fast, it just won't.

Last month and this month is the peak season. My tray remains loaded with piles of papers. I know work can never be finished but somehow, I feel that some people around me are a little depressed or a little stressed up. I hope I can tell these people not to worry cause the worst is going to over soon.. I can feel it. As long I think it that way, things will get better. So, don't worry guys..

And by the way, I am reminded of the piggy bank I have bought recently at Daiso. I know this has nothing to do with what I mentioned earlier on but the piggy bank is just too cute.

I'm also reminded of the clover-like weed that grows in one of my mum's cactus pots. It's surprising to see that it actually has flowers. See those yellow ones in the picture below? 

*Sniff Sniff* Unfortunately, I can't forget that I'm sick today. I'm suppose to be in bed right now but I'm not. Those tiny circular objects shown below are in fact my pills. The pills I got in the past were often dull in colour but this time, they are rather colourful.

 

Nevertheless, time will just have to pass, the sun will just have to rise and set everyday and life will just have to go on. I once heard this phrase in a song.. we are born to live. It's not just about the fact that we are to born to live, it's about how we want to live. I hope that I won't regret about my decision or my plan in this life. 

Next stop: Going overseas..

I feel so sad...

I feel so sad cos there's still a long way to go before I pay off my tuition fee loan.

I feel so sad cos it seems I'm the only one among my colleagues who haven't travelled abroad.

I feel so sad cos my birthday might be forgotten.

I feel so sad cos I wonder why it's always me who sacrificed in the first place but end up getting the wrong things. 

I feel so sad cos I'm always that quiet and speechless.

I feel so sad cos I look like a kid.

I feel so sad cos I got lost sometimes.

I feel so sad cos people took me for granted.

I feel so sad cos I'm always treated like a kid.

I feel so sad cos I got a feeling that I may end up running onto the streets with a knife.

I feel so sad cos I can't cry in front of people.

I feel so sad cos I got this hatred and biasness in me.

I feel so sad cos no one seems to understand me.

I feel so sad cos I'm not sure if I'm wearing a mask.

I feel so sad cos I feel somehow lonely but prefer to be alone sometimes.

I feel so sad cos I can't seem to remember the happy moments.

Sometimes, I really wish there's someone who understands me, who is willing to listen to my thoughts, and who looks at my inner appearance. For some reasons, I begin to dislike harsh jokes. So, don't provoke me.

A Day Off

Announcement! I took a day off today! And I finally get to sleep until 12 noon. Yeah~ 4 more hours of slumber... good enough. 

I also get to go to Clarke Quay in the late afternoon with my mum who was somehow bored with the housework. Well, I named this trip the best moment in my life cos it's my payday just 2 days ago ^_^ Without having to worry too much on the $$ problem, I shopped with ease and I'm glad. After feasting on a bowl of fishball soup and a pathetic bowl of minced meat mushroom noodles at 'the Central', we proceeded to Liang Court where a number of new shops have just opened after weeks of expansion. In order to catch a glimpse of the 'new' place, I was selfish enough to drag my mum all the way there... the distance that seemed long to her. It's not as if I will care :X 

The new shops that caught my attention are a Vietnamese cafe, a Hello Kitty merchandise shop and a Gothic Lolita retail shop which I don't dare to go in -_-"  Not many. Rather disappointed though. However, I still managed to buy an item - a chinese book from Kinokuniya. As for my mum, she ended up buying a red Hello Kitty cashbox for my birthday at the Hello Kitty merchandise shop after her failed attempt in finding a book she wanted at Kino. Ahh... so paiseh and a little bit guilty cos the cashbox really costs a lot. But I liked it given its double security. This time, I'm 100% certained no one's gonna get his hands on my saving ($_$)

(I will wish for an Elite Banana Banao stuff toy next time since it's what I want in the first place.)

Time really passed fast. After snacking in Liang Court's Mac, it's already 10.30p.m... had to rush to the MRT station to catch the train home. On the way, I was rather surprised to see many ang mohs hanging out at the clubbing area. Probably I have never experienced such a night life before... and I never will. I would rather drink coffee or tea at Starbucks and go home to sleep. What's more...

'R & R' is part of my life.

Eventually, we reached home safely. And my conclusion for today's day off? Not bad though.

How I celebrate my Halloween...

This is how I celebrate my Halloween yesterday after work. With a glass of 'Rose Juliet' and a slice of 'Royal Pumpkin Cheesecake' from TCC, the evening just slips away.

At about 10 plus when almost all shops had closed, we finally decided to leave TCC and headed for the 'durian head'. There, we came upon an art displaying a bunch of hulahoops entangled with one another.

Yup, I totally agree with the person who sent a picture of the same art display to 'My Paper' and commented that he don't understand what's the artist is trying to convey.

As we took a walk in the Esplanade, we were attracted to a shop called 'The Cookie Museum'. This shop really surprised me with its wide variety of cookies, ranging from fruity cookies, nutty cookies, floral-flavoured cookies to asian-flavoured cookies such as Tom Yam, Nasi Lemak, Ikan Bilis and even Frog! -> what flavour is that? It is also a tea cafe with a Victorian atmosphere. But although it allows dine-in, there is still a limited number of seats available. So when you happen to pass by the place during your weekday off, you might like to go in and just grab an empty seat. Feel the atmosphere and make it your day by reading your favourite book while tasting the cookies with tea. It would be better if the place is bigger.

At about 11 plus, we decided to go home and planned to take a bus instead of the mrt. Unfortunately, we missed the last bus. But we still managed to board a night rider. As the night rider passed by the night-cat paradise (clarke quay), we saw a number of clubbers in fanciful costumes. Well, that sort of livened up our Halloween mood. However, we were already exhausted from our day at work. Even if we had to drag our feet, the night is late (to us) and it's better to head home fast. Hence, there goes my Halloween, my pumpkin, my skull head and my trick-or-treats.

Elite Banana Banao

Kawaii..Kawaii..KAWAII!! (>_<) Elite Banana Banao is soooo CUTE! These are the Elite Banana Banao merchandises which I own at the moment. 

Have no idea who is Elite Banana Banao? No problem. I shall briefly introduce him to you. As what I know, Elite Banana Banao is a 30-year-old gentleman who is born on 7th August. He works as a businessman and therefore, you often see him either in a formal attire, tuxedo, a pair of spectacle or carrying a briefcase with him. With him are his friends, 8 of them in total. Frankly, I can't really read Japanese. Hence, it would be appreciated if there is someone who can help me translate the hiraganas on the webpage and share with me what are his friends' names. 

Ok..That's all I know for now with my limit on Japanese language. How I wish I can tell you more. But first, I'm gonna get an Elite Banana Banao soft toy. 

Posh Retreat?

"They should have minimized their expense for the 'conference' after their bailout." - This would be my response to the Straits Time article, 'Posh Retreat after Bailout'. "This is just a conference" is what AIG explained to the media after the news of them spending US$440,000 at St Regis Resort broke out, but don't they have brain? I mean they should have thought that since they are heavily in debt now, a budget conference would be much more appropriate. To spend US$440,000 on a gathering with just 10 AIG employees attending is way too much. They might as well just hold the conference in their company's meeting room (note: only 10 employees + a giant insurance company = a meeting room just nice to fit).

A conference for a strategy? I can understand. US$440,000? I can't. 10 executives? Who cares. They are still humans. Just because one is an executive, that doesn't mean he/she deserves to make the company forks out large amount of money so as to make him/her feels comfortable during the conference. All this is just a pile of s**t. And don't forget, those are the tax payers' blood and sweat.

The above content is just the blogger's own view about the article. Any offence made is incidental.

She...

I like that gal on Cleo's October cover. Who's that? Amanda Seyfried? Mean Girls? Oh..wth.

A fews days ago, I was watching channel 5 when I came upon a thriller of 'Mamma Mia!', a romance cum musical movie. As I watched on, a blonde gal with greyish-blue eyes came onto the screen and she was singing 'Gimme, Gimme, Gimme' by ABBA. I was like "Wow..cute gal". Well, maybe to some people, she is not exactly that cute. But I somehow got this first impression of her.

Earlier on today, I happened to stop and look at the magazine display of a newspaper booth when the Cleo's October cover caught my eyes. It's the cute chic again but this time, she's on the magazine cover. A-MAN-DA SEY-FRIED, that's what she's called. I went on to own the magazine and after I read the context about her, I found out that she once starred in the movie, 'Mean Girls'. Surprised, I didn't expect she is one of the mean girls in the movie. But anyway, who would take this to heart when this is just an acting role.

Still not yet a fan of her, I won't be chasing her around on the internet, digging out everything about her. But I would definitely go watch that movie and I think my mum would be quite interested. If not, who cares to accompany me? I would be glad as long as I don't have to watch alone.

Arghh~ bad weather

T_T My head really hurts. It has been raining all afternoon today. While I am sitting in front of my computer and listening to Korn's Evolution through the earphone, I thought I'm going to have a flu. My head seems to be scorching hot. Ahh~ I feel sick. My whole body is aching too. I wish I can do more things.  

我活得很好

做工万岁，

省钱万岁，

做白日梦万岁，

发花痴万岁！

现在是缩紧腰带的时候。两天，忍多两天吧。两天过后，我就有钱拿了。到时，一切就从头开始。计划，提钱，然后咬紧牙根，尽量不花太多的钱。接着就从拜一到拜五，每天从9点早上做工至到下午6点。回到家就坐在沙发上发白日梦，自以为是个有超能力的小女孩 （多么希望我是……)。或者一边听音乐，一边唱歌 （通常是对嘴的……），像个花痴一样。

这种生活听起来没有什么特别。但，对我而言已经很不错了。至少我不用再过逾依赖别人。这一点对现在的我很重要。不，应该是必须。由于讨厌 ‘你没有用’ 这句话，我开始学着独立。 现在还是在学习。
