my precious friday 30.07.10

the usual dinner at home with my family is no longer taken for granted ever since it has been drained from my school and also of the fact that i just embarked a new journey at my new work place..

managing time wasn't easy...especially my sleeping hours :(

this week was one of the most tedious week which i had to attend school for four days straight from monday to thursday..and Friday is sort of my free day after work! Finally! :DDD

well, i did gave my first choice to ask yq for dinner but he had to study for exams..

but i'm glad he had to do so...and i get to go home for dinner :) in fact, i rushed home by walking the fastest in my heels and walking up the escalator which i seldom do..

just then i realised how much i miss being at home, how i miss spending time with my family members..just by talking over dinner :)

Happiness can be something which is so easily achieved and yet something which people tend to take for granted without realising it.

a good 4 years

just exactly a week ago...

i was packing my stuffs...

preparing the handover stuffs...

writing the farewell email...

it all brings me back to the very first time i stepped into the office for interview

how i stay over in the office till wee hours just to rush artwork to be send for printing

how my bosses celebrated my 21st

how we celebrated christmas at the pub and club

how we get free lunches/dinners from vendors

how i got transfer to another team for contract position instead of submitting time sheets to agency

how i got a permanent position which allows me to enjoy the organisation welfare

how i get to meet a bunch of wonderful peers and bosses

i always count myself blessed to have meet everyone along the way...

well, time flies..and opportunity comes along the way..

people have started to move on and i guess so should i..

whether i will be faced with more challenges or a more agressive culture like what most of the people had said...

i will put in my best :)

wish me luck!

"I had to decide.

Was I gonna play it safe?

Or look somewhere deep inside,

Try to turn the tide.

Find the strength to take that step of faith?

This is my now,

And I am breathing in the moment.

As I look around,

I can’t believe the love I see.

My fear’s behind me,

Gone are the shadows and doubt.

That was then.

This is my now.

I have a courage like never before, yeah.

I settled for less, but I’m ready for more.

Ready for more…"

had a great fall

woke up at 8am with morning call by yq

i have got up for my morning run

washed up, changed and all set with my ipod shuffle

got to the park, did some warm up on the way there

started to run, at my usual pace

then i fell :(

with my palms, knees and elbow rubbed against the ground

till now i still didn't know how did it exactly happened

a uncle with bicycle stopped to see if i'm alright..

i got up, smiled at him and signalled to him that i'm fine

continued to jog then i found blood oozing out from my palms, my knees and my elbow

i made a u-turn, cross over the nearest bridge and jog my way back

on my way back, all i was thinking was

how am i going to write for my paper tomorrow?

can i rest my elbow on the table?

will it hurt to hold my pen?

when i got home, my lips got white and i had a stomach cramp

"hi auntie, what a time to come"

awww..shit..

(please do not continue if you are unable to withstand the sight of blood)

food and company

since young, my dad always drove us around for food...

it's never to restaurants or posh places but instead, to the little coffee shops or hawker centres, stalls by the small lanes..

camouflaged by the exterior and the pricing of the food stalls, one would never expect that the food are actually good food. Food which i would always yearn to go back again and again.

i'm always impressed by how he gets to know all where these places...

recently, i visited one of the place with yq which is the 飞飞云吞面 (fei fei wanton mee) located at joo chiat place, i purposely chose the old coffee shop just like the first time i knew about this place...

strange thing, the noodles doesn't taste as yums as did as compared to the past visits with my parents...not sure if it's change of the person cooking or what...it just doesn't taste the same...

then i realised, the noodle does taste the same to me...but...

actually it doesn't FEEL the same...

i love eating with my parents, i would still try to tag along on sunday for breakfast or for dinner with them...it is just a feeling that i can't exactly explain (and i'm actually smiling when i am writing this)

not sure if i have taken after my dad's genes..cos eunis once told me that whatever i'm eating, it always look yums even though it is just a bowl of normal handmade noodle..

that's exactly what my dad does! make the food look so tasty...

thanks dad! for bringing me around for food that looks common to the others but special to me :) i love you!

pissed off

seriously, i'm super pissed off..

even if i have to be the bad guy to say those nasty things..

i think it's time for the 2 of them to wake up their bloody minds and really start do hand-ons parenting rather than just going for parenting classes!

so what if you are busy? with church meetings? tennis? soccer with friends? wtf!? you don't even have time to look after your sons' homework and go through their bags..

do you guys even care? i feel sorry for your sons..

i was shocked when i have to sign off for your son's consent form to the library today..does that make sense? are you even aware? oh pls, they are your sons...not mine.

stop taking things for granted, stop treating my mum like a maid, the word "sorry" doesn't help to take care of your sons, a maid do.

start managing your time rather than spending time looking for updates on fb, i suggest that you should delete your fb account and use the time to focus on your sons' wellbeing.

please tell everyone what parenting classes you guys went to, and the rest of us should shun from it. simply useless.

beginning of a 2-year journey

in 2010, i'm am finally pursuing my studies...and becoming a part time student for 2 years..

i know i know..it's not gonna be easy (well, that's what everyone said)

just imagine..

- going for lectures after work

- making sure that i understand what was taught in lectures

- finish my assignments on time

- pass exams with good grades

- will have to "burn midnight oil"

- getting to know new friends (oh, that's easy :)

ok, and the most torturing part, that is...

- going back home from school (loooooooooong journey)

regardless of what, that's what i have decided on and will make sure i make good use of these 2 years to gain some good knowledge...and finally a paper.

some things which i am thankful of...

- my parents, for providing me what i need most for my studies ($ in advanced) and believing me that i will complete it and make them proud

- my love, for being the "spur" to get me going for it

- my boss, for giving me time off when i have classes in the evening

- my colleagues & friends, for being so "pushy" towards my studies and making sure that i apply for it year after year

all the best to me :)

after rachael showed us her nails :)

they are really easy to play with (surprisely!) cos i ever bought similar type from watsons (brand: incoco) and apparently not as user-friendly as this

a set of the nail patch cost $19 and i like this alot cos it's not messy and don't stink at all :)

plus i don't have to wait for it to dry!!!

here's my end result:
