I've no idea where to start this post and whether should i even "published" it.

Probably blogging isnt such a "private" thing anymore. It has become a place for pple to "tell" others what they are thinking, and perhaps hope they will "do" something about it. Some will do something about it after reading them, some don't. Some will have no idea who you are talking about, but they "feel" it is talking about them, and they start asking the friends around you isit him/her you mentioned about in your blog. I'm sure many went through this experience before and if you have this "gut feeling" that the post is about you, 80% you are right. So don't bother bugging your frds if the post is "dedicated" to you.

I heard it so many times, seen it with my own eyes a million times, that once a person gets attached, they changed. I dun deny cos i'm a culprit myself. With another person around, priorities changed, lifestyle changed, committment changed, etc. I can't find a single person who is attached and have no difference between his/her singlehood life and couplehood life. If there is no difference, then their partner might as well let him/her return to their singlehood.

I'll be happy for my friends if they found someone to share their life with and am happy with their partner. If i noticed any "unhappiness" and it's caused by the r'ship, and if nothing can be done to make it better, i'll ask them to end it quick. As the chinese saying goes "Chang tong bu ru duan tong". Unless you are married, then it's a different ball game, you can't say "quit" so easily. Every r/ship is a commitment, thus none should play a fool when they are in one. However, if it fails, it's not because you havent done enough, it's just not meant to be.

Usual things friends will say when someone gets attached, "wun have time for us", "will be busy with their partners", "don't have to ask, sure with their partners" things like that. Even me myself said it to key or val sometimes wen i was still single... [guilty as charged =p]. I do say it, but i'm happy when i see them happy. The joy and smile on their face is something money can't buy and friends can't give except their partners. Val, i do get angry with u at times when James is at the top-est priority and u just break promises. But i know i can't put the smile on ur face like James can, and you know all i want is for you to be happy. So even though i'm disappointed, you know i'll always be there for u no matter what. U can go forth and grab ur happiness cos it is the smile i want to see on ur face.

Somehow, it saddens me when i heard or in fact "feel" the disapproval from friends ard me. The look on their face, their "sianerz". Everytime i see it, my mood is gone for the day. I don't wish to get affected by it, guess i failed, esp when it's from you carol. Perhaps you din noticed it, i wish to avoid it, but how can i when it's put across so obviously right infront of me. When it's just me alone, you are just like how you are, chirpy, blurry, just like old times. When it's the 3 of us, there seems to be a wall between us. Probably u feel weird, prob u havent get used to it, prob... it's just too many probs... Are things at such a stage that nothing can be done to it? I dun wish to, if you feel the same, den we should talk... it's been a long time since we had our heart-to-heart talk. I know it'll be awkard in the beginning, but i've taken the first step, the ball is in ur court now =P.

Belle, i've never mentioned i'll stay over-night at June's bday nor have i say anything about not staying over night. And i'm never the one who suggested we stay over at her chalet. I was in a midst of deciding to stay or not to stay and i'll apologise for being indecisive but i'll not apologise for putting aeroplane cos i never say anything about staying or not staying in the first place. You thought that things wun changed much, it hasnt changed much. I'm still around for supper, KTV, exercise trips, "excursion" to zoo/birdpark, other activities. I wun say i'll attend all cos things are definitely different now, but if i can make it, i'll be there. If you still want to be angry with me.. *shrugs*.

And MISS CHUA KE YING, you have been MISSING for the ENTIRE holiday!!! Are you so busy till you have no time for a SMS? What about the BBQ you complained that we don't have time for it?? We should be the one complaining instead =P. Don't you dare to complain when sch starts and everyone else have no time for u k! *grinz* *hugs hugs hugs*

No hidden names, no hidden meanings, just some thought i want to convey.

wat happen to my camera!!

FISH!!!!

I think my SONY T3 is dying on me!! *SAD* I turn in on and i saw lines flickering on the LCD screen! You know like those old film grain tat kinda effect?? *double frown* arggghhhh.... now i have to find my warranty card and send it to repair. Super duper sianz!!!!!!!! FISH FISH FISH FISH!!!!!!! *Super PEK CHEK*

I think if i were to buy another camera, maybe i'll choose CANON or olympus .. haiz.. i shall juz add tt to my "wish list" =P.

Sometimes, you just can't please everyone.
It might just end up bad.
Don't be too greedy and learn to prioritize.
Stick with your decision and fulfill the rest later.
Learn to say "no" or else you'll find yourself in trouble.


i duno wat am i rambling about, pretty nonsensical.

Heck, i'm in a foul mood.

Walkathon

The eva-so-busy-and-still-find-more-things-to-do-me took up another job offer as an instructor. Wat sorta instructor u may ask. Those pri/sec outdoor sch camps kinda instructor but this time round we are goin on a half-island walkathon starting from Yishun all the way to Changi ferry terminal to Pulau Ubin. On the foot, no public transport or hitch-hike watsoever. >_< I'm kinda regretting now since my fitness level is at a all time low, i wonder if i can endure it at all. =( Did i mention the walk will start at 430am?? gosh, i wonder if i can even wake up... geezz.. Anyway, i've already promise my friend to help out and it's been a long time since i do such ra-ra thingy... *roaw* i will finish the task!!

Therefore, i doubt i can go clubg on wed (21st) nite ler.. i'll be dead tired by then i'm sure. Sorry girls...

Heading back to J.B in a few moments time to celebrate my granny's birthday and father's day with my grand-dad. Every year i'll make it a point to go back for their birthdays or any major celebrations. Everyone of us is away most of the time for work/ sch and only on such occasions we are gathered again. I can really see the joy on my grandparents face whenever we go back! Gona gain a few more pounds again ! *grumbles*

Adios! Be back tmr!!

Devil Beside You

Belle and carol got me hooked on this taiwan drama.. geez.. he really have a charming smile but din really like the way they styled his hair *shrugs*. Only finish 1 episode, prob go back msia and see if my granny bought the vcd, hehe...

Recently my post is full of pictures. I'm getting lazier and lazier i guess. Val said i'm so occupied with various activities in life, i don't even have time to sms her or meet up. Too greedy perhaps, want a piece of everything. Somehow or rather, i still manage to put order to my busy schedule, but i've neglected the things that matter to me most.

I spent lesser time at home, sometimes i may not see my dad for a day or two. He's aslp when i come home, i'm still slpg when he leaves for work.

I need to prioritize
I need to put more effort in my sch work
I need to spend more time with my family
Most importantly, I need to spend more time with God

Was encouraged by the people i met during church camp. Their testimonial, their love for Christ and their prayers for each other. Within a short 5 days, we made friends, go shopping and crap a whole lot. We all have one believe, that is God. This is what brings us together. =)

Gosh.. it's really late, gonna get scolding from someone tmr ler.. >_<

Loving this holiday

Enjoyed myself sooooooo totally this holiday! Went to Malacca, and now to KL with u. I'm loving every moment of it! So much so that i don't feel like coming back and wished time would just stop there.

Just came back from KL today and i've been smiling the moment i saw u (last thur nite) till we parted on the train just now. Let me recap snippets of our trip....



Have to drag ourselves outta bed at 0515 to catch a bus at 0730... managed to catch some slp on the bus. In between Zzzzz, i discovered something....











Can't tell?? i doubt so at this distance....


Let me zoom in for u... saw it? RM1 sticked at the top of the bus.. i wonder wat isit for.. emergency uses?? lolz


As the bus were travelling along the highway, we saw an accident on the oppsite side of the road (A bus over-turned). This caused a HUGE jam on the highway... stretched for abt 20km!!!! Thank God i'm not on the other side of the road.


Oh, i almost forgot the 2 packs of M&M u bought for me... heheh.. thanks for reminding me! It's the special edition of white chocolate with the theme "pirates of the carribean".



This trip comprises lots of eating and shopping!!! Below is the collage of what we ate for mere 3 days stay and i forgot to take the duck satay we had every night!! Sinful indulgence!!!!



Miss the RootBeer Float from A&W!!!! KLCC still have that fast food chain!! Loving it!!! and KFC is so much better in Msia!



My breakfast in bed every morning --- Waffles! *muacks* Thanks for pampering me! =)



Our last meal before we leave for SG... Eating is so fun with u around... but we must share even though the food don't taste as good k... know u dote on me, but i just want to share the not-so-good things with u too! Be it food or anything else...



Managed to get him to take the train instead of taxi to KLCC.. heh... from Bukit Bintang to Dang Wangi to KLCC.



His Virgin trip!!



Our destination!!



At platform 1, 2 stops away from KLCC.



We saw this cool line-up of World-cup teams using the shoes to represent each team @ Adidas outlet.



Our Buys... Him: 3 Berms, 3 boxers, 1 Pants, 1 Beach Berms, 1 pair of Reef slipper. Her: 2 Tops, 2 shorts, 2 pairs of heels, 1 set bikini.



How often u see someone wearing a BCD while shopping in the grocery store? heh.. =P




This trip is so wonderful it feels as if i'm in the sea of stars!! guess i got more pampering coz darling really treated me like a princess as well. . heh.. so hon i juz wanna say a BIG THANK YOU for planning such a great trip! thank you for your endless TLC through out the whole trip.. everything juz feels perfect with you around.. long walks along the streets with your fingers entwinned in mine.. playing silly during our shopping trips ...holding hands while slpg.. hugging u like a koala bear.. heh..
