Everything is fun for awhile, then it rots
Again, this is going to be a purely-text post
Cos i’m pooped
They say 'Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain!' Im beginning to think that's a lie.
The only thing that’s constant is change. Life is a series of updates, patches, closing of bars and such.
You will lose your hangout spot tonight, C said. Something in me says
that it’s not forever but perhaps that’s just my vain hope speaking.

Fool me once, shame on you
Any person my age who has some form of decency and self- respect, (a girl for that matter) would have these priorities in life.
Education. Family bonds and friendship. Love, perhaps. Have a little fun, while you're at it! Maintain a healthy social life.
No where in the equation is there "making enemies", especially if that person has done no wrong to you. If there are rumours and hearsay, you best solve that misunderstanding like any self- respecting adult would, by "talking" it out.
Sounds simple, right?
Not unless you're dealing with children who, despite their age, wish they were still in high school playing tai-kar-che :)
An attitude like that will get you into trouble in the real world, my dear.
You want to make enemies as often as you change your underwear, I shake my head and I pity you.
Which was exactly what I did when you committed your wrong unto me.I shook my head, I pitied you, and I walked away. Not giving you the satisfaction of me stooping down to your level and do what you did. Pointless.
A mixture between disgust and pity, really.
However, any person who has some form of decency and self- respect, will also know that there is a limit. That there is a line between taking the high road, and simply defending your honor.
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
And I'll leave it at that.
So anyway, my Perth trip was a great getaway, consisting of many sweet night walks and details I wont share.

To some, watching an old couple as they hold hands while they walk is love. I used to think the holding of hands is an expression of some form of affection. An elderly couple was going to a coffeeshop that's a 5 minute walk from their place (but 15 minutes walk at their speed). The old man asked the old lady to hold his arm as they walk. But it wasn't because they're still lovey dovey at their age. She gripped his arm tightly as she walked. The elderly couple held hands not to show affection, but because the old lady needed support. I think when Asian elderly hold hands, it's not because it's a romantic thing to do. Too often, we think love is all about feelings and romance. But we often forget the practical. If the old man hadnt love his old lady, he wouldn't even have offered his arm for support.
Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you

"I think a man and a woman should choose each other for life, for the simple reason that a long life with all its accidents is barely enough time for a man and a woman to understand each other and... To understand - is to love." -William Butler Yeats Unfortunately many people never grow up, they just grow old blaming everyone else for their own misery. But Im more than grateful, that by God's grace and love, did not allow that to happen to me. Its been an amazing week and words alone cannot describe the joy God has given me in a mere 6 days. Once my heart grown so cold, when I was blinded in my ways, God has opened my eyes to the work of His hands this year. Church every week seems like God speaking to A and me more than anything else, knowing He never left us all these years. " In Him we move and live and have our being" - Acts 17:28
How true! And for that, I am grateful for life - no matter how short/ long, how misunderstood or not....... It is good to be ALIVE!! To taste at the tip of my tongue, the sweet sweet essence of love.
God's love. Family love A's love After an amazing weekend (more on 'leo-cheryl-hitched' next post), I wasnt surprised that coming back to work was a dread. If you argue that at least there's company and chatter (honestly more bitching than anything constructive), geez such is a 'toxic' environment I will walk into. Anyhow, Im so glad my semester for the year has ended. (But God I need your help to pass this one ;p) Oh the liberty! Seems like that so much of it, that I dont know what Im going to do with it all. Perhaps, I'll just hop over to simmylove's place first. And so thankful that in less than a week, we will be away for our first ever trip. More importantly, pleasing in the eyes of God.
Now a quick update of my bestie Aiai in Singapore last week
 She was telling me of her drama-filled cameron trip with her church mates, with the bus breaking down in the middle of the highway, not once but TWICE, making their return trip home 12 hours longer than expected. *phew!* While I shared with her something I will not mention here just because some things are just meant to be shared by two people alone. Heh
 Even when Ying Xi was protesting and raising her white flag over the mad decision of sharing 4 pastas ...
We ended up ordering anyway. :D  xoxo

Okay, apparently I have this really distinctive cheerful demeanor as a norm, so distinctive that the moment I'm slightly less-than- cheerful, or something's bothering me,the whole world can see it. No matter how hard I try to hide it.
Previously on night shift, I've been getting a lot of, "Are you okay?" And I've been giving a lot of, "Yeah! just a little tired, *smiles*"
Which of course is partially true, as it was (supposed to be) my last few days before I finish my first year in Uni. We got pretty busy doing a lot of last minute things, cramming up our schedules to the max and getting very little sleep at all :(
Ah don't worry about me, I'm just going through a weird funk right now. And weird funks have no place in my blog, my happy place!  But just in case, I should look for a dreamcatcher. And wear extra bright colours these few days. Another backlogged event on a weekday made so simply wonderful
   Lunching at a Thai place along Stamford Court. After which 4bowls had to adjourn back to work while simmylove and I went shopping at Haji Lane.
  This bathtub was below the stairway and looking oh-so-cool with little guppies swimming in it.

We travelled back to simmylove's place and I started trying some of her project runway designer wears and it was darn fun. When we got tired, both of us slump onto the coach with potato chips til A came to fetch me for dinner. Indeed, how blessed.

I woke up this morning, peaceful, serene, and still in a daze, my
sleepy eyes peeking through the mounts of blankets and pillows. And I
saw that the sun has come up.
My morning peace and serenity lasted a short 4 seconds.
After
which I went into a blind panic; because when you have an afternoon shift and you wake up to see the sun already shining, that means GOOD
JOB you are so damn late T__T
SHIATES WHAT TIME IS IT. I reached for my handphone on my bed side table but it wasn't there. I
searched all my usual spots where the blasted phone would usually turn
up; on the chair, on the floor, under the bed, under the tables,
(apparently i do some kung fu kicks in my sleep), in my numerous
handbags and paper piles I have lying around the room, everywhere. Extra panic.
I turned my whole room upside down and guess where I found it in the end?
In the dustbin -_-
I cannot for the life of me figure out how that happened. Either I did some serious kung fu move in my sleep, probably in retaliation when the alarm went off, Or
did I actually had too little sleep last night (tired and all from rushing essays), and silly me chuck poor Sammy (the Samsung) into the dustbin?
Lucky for me, I wasnt late. In fact I had some time to pack up my stuff crowding in that room and believed Im a domestic goddess.
Teehee
The sun came out bright and chirpy. Then turned cloudy the next thing I knew after coming out from the showers.
Crazy weather I tell you.

Cause you can make or break my day
Venetia is bright eyed and bushy tailed. Of course, she made my day. That would be dearest sunshine close to heart, Simmylove
Okay, if you are Yap Gui Hua, I suggest you close this window right this moment. Get out, get out of here = before you feel pangs of jealousy. Dont say I didnt warn you.
 4bowls, Moi, Simmylove, Irene
I totally mortified that the huge bruised on my left thigh actually showed up on picture. Worst of all, I dont even know how I got it. It was just there one fine day after I came back from work. Big bruise only started to clear up 3 days with change of colour after A helped rubbed it. Pain til can die.
 Fairy & Smellie
 Look at our glossy faces!
 Jerry & 4bowls
Really, there's nothing to rave about. Plus I, the only with the camera, did not take many pictures because I was occupied catching up with the ladies. Its a time where good friends meet after a very very long time. And it was just perfect. Only It ended quite early for me as I had to work the next day.

Okay time for more backlogged events I've been meaning to blog about.
My first time to Singapore Beer Festival. Actually, come to think of it, Ive never heard of such an event over the years I became legal to alcohol. But well, there's always a first time to anything, everything.

And being really lazy, and tired after work. I didnt walk around to explore the beers and the soak up the atmosphere. Since K has free tickets, and found a really good spot seated right in front of the Guinness Bar, where else would I rather be, right.

What made drinking even happier was with every glass of Guinness Draught we ordered, we get to choose free gift, total of 5 different types. Needless to say, we colleted all 5 and even got a few extras - of which Im going to share with RoseyGH. That's what good friends are for = care and share

The turn out wasnt spectacular, end up, we were given heaps of food as the night passed. The best part of it all, it was all Free of Charge! To think it came at the right time as we were preparing to leave and grab supper at Newton. *munch munch*
 This is K layaning the waitress in hope to get more free gifts. Sadly, I was the one who had the extra free gift from her, as well as her email address. I know. Sounds really really wrong.
So I came up with the evilest plan. K to send me home in exchange for her email address. What an irresistable offer impossible to decline. Im a genius

What is it with human nature and their desire for all things bad for them.We know that if we play with fire, we'll get burned. And yet we crave for that very danger and excitement, even if it means drizzling the entire tank of gasoline over ourselves and ask for the match.
Thanks J, if not for you that I could rant at the moment I got home, I would have sparked a blazing fire I cannot put out myself. Mind riots are bad. Very Bad.
And as if there's not enough bad news in the world, what with the politics and crumbling economies all around us.
Only last week I found out that 2 of my friends' parent has been recently diagnosed with cancer.
:( wow the world is looking pretty dull right about now

On a case of TCA overdose at work
mybossG : The plan is to wait for her to wake up, then extubate short pause mybossG : Dont keep the room quiet me : ??? [totally no idea what he meant] mybossG : You should play some rock music inside me : -_- " 
Suffice to say, such layaning from my consultant happens fairly often. Not that Im complaining, just really amused.
My weekly dose of night shift ended quickly today. I was on my way home with sole intention to catch up on zzz's and the moment I put myself to bed, it started to rain! Oh joyous rain! 
Thank yoo Mother Nature for setting the perfect mood for a cosy sleep in - complete with the soft pitter-patter background lullaby, the faint smell of rain, dark cold cosy atmosphere, and bluey jazz music to drift away to Lalaland. [hearts] sheer bliss I tell you But my love affair with Uni assignments continues. le sighOk will probably skip out on fuller posts on the backlogged events because these things tend to accumulate. Will throw in just a few splashes of old pictures for now before they become obsolete
 Singapore Grand Prix 2008!
 Lighted up at night like a rockstar. I was just flipping through my picutures and realised not one night shot, at all. I figured its coz we get to roam about in the day and by night, shagged til can die. Being stationed at the Padang Grandstand, it was just exactly where I would want to be - with all the party people. Just sit there and watch the yummy men go by. Grin



 View from Paddock Grandstand
 Paddock Club with the Singapore Flyer as backdrop. Pretty
 As you can see, we shamelessly allowed ourselves some empty seats available while camwhoring and I was practically doing a para-para alike conversation with HY on the opposite doing duty as track medical.
 One of the best shots I had, took during practice session

 I dont doubt he got a pretty good seat up there. But poor fella', must be too tired from all the hardwork.
Okay bye. Im off to another day of life saving rock and roll job. Its the midweek crisis I tell you. Toodles!
