Was feeling bored.. so did some quizzes with the prompt from a fabulous friend. Great fun!!

Why dun you guys try it????

No.1 : What breed of puppy are u.. hahaha sheesh...

You Are a Chihuahua Puppy

Small, high strung, and loyal.You do best in the city with a adults - young kids could crush you!

and OMG! im a chihuahua!! and i dun even reali like them!!

No. 2: Very relevant for the Europe gang!!!

Your Inner European is Italian!

Passionate and colorful.You show the world what culture really is.

Im italiano!!! So its PRINCIPESSA FIORA!! Europe gang esp! GO DO THIS!! haha

NO. 3: I especially like this. a lot. I think its the most accurate representation so far

You Are A Lime Tree

You are intelligent, hard working, and innately successful.You try to change what you can in life - and you accept what you can't change.Tough on the outside, you are actually soft and relenting.Jealous at times, you are extremely loyal and giving to those you love.You have many talents, but you don't have enough time to use them.

And lastly,

You Have Your Sarcastic Moments

While you're not sarcastic at all times, you definitely have a cynical edge.In your opinion, not all people are annoying. Some are dead!And although you do have your genuine moments, you can't help getting your zingers in.Some people might be a little hurt by your sarcasm, but it's more likely they think you're hilarious.

ha... people change.

Three years ago, I cried when I looked at the photo. I still remember that night where I was all alone in the dark living room in front of the computer screen when I chanced upon that photo. That churning feeling in the heart, tears started welling and thoughts ran amok. And just at that faithful moment, I gt a phonecall from a friend abt yr 2 timetabling.. haha.. THAT is another story altogether. and the rest they say, is HISTORY.

Three years later, I looked at the photo again. I can now look at it and smile. The feeling's still there. But its different now. It may just as wel be a stranger that Im looking at. It's all a little sad. Just like that, we become strangers all over again. Sometimes I sit here and think if we ll ever land in this state. Strangers all over again.

I looked at it long and hard. Nothing stirred in me. I took a second look. Longer and harder this time. And still...


nothing stirred.


Everything seems the same, and yet at the same time, its all different. Three years ago, three years now. Three years later, how will we be like?

What is life without a few disappointments here and there? Ahh.. a few today. But it ll pass. It ll pass. I was indeed very disappointed when I found out. BUT it ll pass, it ll pass, I ll make it pass.

Read smth on my friend's blog about the compatibility of couples based on whether they are the first born, youngest in the family or the child in between.

Thinking about it. It's true to a certain extent, isnt it? The first borns in the families all do have certain traits. I think about all my friends who are first born. As much as some of them may wan to deny it, I find that first borns tend to be more pensive and thinks more about things. They think more, plan more and sometimes do get moody spells. .. (not that the rest doesnt), but its more apparent in the first borns. haha.. I do enjoy my time with these ppl.

The youngest are usually more chirpy and happy and may i say cheerful. hahaha..It's just the vibes they give off.

And how about the middle child? Frankly, I duno. I have no opinions about them whatsoever. No offence to my friends who fall within these category, but i do feel they are somewhere in between.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The decisions you make today affects your tomorrows. Agree?

I so totally do. Today during lunch, I saw the guy who was stalking me home during JC. And oh boy, am i GLAD that nothing happened between us then.

AndI onli saw the wise-ness of my decision like hmmm.. *counts* 4 years down the road. AND soo.. as they say, everything happens for a reason and just because you dun know the reason now doesnt mean its a bad thing!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In some situations, words ruin everything. Words become weapons, confusing the mind and heart. Jumbling up what is simple and clear. Words. Toxic and poisonous.Words, too much too many, too fast, all at one go.

In some situations, a hug will suffice.

Words.

Say goodbye.

Remember that Vietnamese gal whom i saw @ the bus stop?? Gasps.. the next day, i saw her in my compound!! *she lives in the same compound as meeee!!* AND she was wearing the exact same shirt and pants.. *faintz* AND no.. its so not a uniform....

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last night was super touching. Even I was touched. Couldnt help but shed a few tears also. But live goes on. Each time we have smth lidat, I feel encouraged by the support shown by NTUMarket. Friends are the family we have chosen for ourselves. I dun reali say this or show it much, but i think i reali do love all of you alot.

Take loads of care, Angel Miwa Chan....

And thanks siwei for reali cooking! I asked and got it. So nice! It was reali reali good, siwei. U duno how long I haven ate "dou miao". So sorry for not leaving even a strand for u to try. hahha

And thanks jamie for having us over.

Today's forbidden city is.. how should I say? It's good, very good i felt, esp the front part. And thought-provoking too..

A web of unrequitted love, trust and betrayal and the process of opening up the vulnerable heart and the deep longing to be understood. ahh..

To be understood. It sounds like such a simple thing but how many of us are really that? Understood? I think in everyone of us there is a secret part of us that yearns to be known and understood.

Yea.. the costumes were a little let down but the music compensates for everything. It s reali good. It was tear-provoking. Prince Tun was very captivating too. *winkz*

Ahh... I FEEL.. ZENish today. IF there's such a word.

It's amazing what you can hear if you keep quiet and pay attention to what's going around you. Today as I was waiting for the bus, 2 vietnamese lugging a printer entered the vincinity of the bus stop I was in... and sat down beside a fortyish lady with hayish brown hair. Their conversation goes like this,

Lady:(pts to the printer) How much you buy ah?
Viet gal: 2 hundred plus
Lady: Waa.. (keeps quiet a while) You vietnam ah
Viet gal: How you know?
Lady: Hear you talk, know already. What bus you waiting for?
Viet gal: I waiting for 153.. (or smth lidat)
Lady: Oh.. I stay ard there too.. I teach in blah blah blah (lists a whole list of secondary schools)

AND THE JAW DROPPING REMARK COMES IN HERE

Lady: I teach FRENCH in these schools. You want to learn french?

!!! At this point, I turned my head and looked at the lady. She teaches French??? hahahha... omg.. no offence, BUT i would love to hear her ramble a few french sentences.

I was laughing as I boarded the bus that came along...


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I settled in the nearest empty seat and plugged in Jay. After 10 mins, a fantastically beautiful young lady in power suit with shiny bouncy curls boarded the bus.

Ade thinks: Woah.. power. beauty & brains.

After that, I dozed off till I reached my stop. As I was alighting, I saw this...

The beautiful young lady in the power suit with the bouncy curls was sleeping with her kohl lined eylids closed and mouth a little open.. aww..Suddenly she doesnt look as power. But it must be coz she has had a hard day at work.

I grinned as I alighted.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Im a friend! *grinz*

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Smth which made me laugh @ work, quoted from a section of THE NEW PAPER..

* Do you think infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery? (hahha.. the things ppl think about)

When you suddenly feel replaced & sidetracked.

When you r tired of feeling that way.

Too many people want a bit of you.

The world goes on and the clock continues to tick. Everything moves on. Everything changes.

But you still cling on.

And still. . . no one says anything.

Someone told me

Love is not about finding someone you can live with, it's finding someone you can't live without.

I thought I found myself last month.

Today, I lay on my bed with Jay & Tanya playing in the background.

I found the other side of myself and the truth about many other things as well.

These flood of bitter sweet memories. The heart must be the strongest organ in the body. I will always have a soft spot for you.

Some pics I've taken over the week. Ha. know many of you think im depressed or smth. But im not. reali. I just have very pensive thoughts. I think about such things everyday, they just pop in. But hey, come look what I ve been up to everyday. After all, a picture says a thousand words. And a video, a million " ) - the latter is quoted from someone. haha No videos today though!











=> These are what keeps me going in between. COFFEE... Black Roast & Mocha. AND that choc kept me sane during one of the crazy hours. But its not fantastic. I like crunchie more.





Had dinner at the Selegie prata place few days ago.. (in clockwise direction) 1. My usual fare of "teh-o" or "tea without milk" 2. Tried alitle of the chapati there. not fantastic 3. AND the ayam meee goreng is totally value for money! The serving is HUUGE with lots of chunky chicken pieces.. 1 serving, good for 2! 4. AND my fav! it's called "papadum" it's just crackers but i like it with curry!








Was waiting in my collegue's car when I gt bored and spotted his son's toy. So cute! hahha So played around with it.















Love the companyover the weekend . Feel just alive basking in it. Look at the giraffess we are posing with.. Yishan says maybe they are made by some exploited african kids and then being used as decorations for such an expensive looking place. *faintz* *im sure she's kidding*


















And look at this very cute picture! They are all mine to keep! haha.. see that little brown bear at the top? My heart melts just looking at it each time.














~* Ah.. everything has a story behind it. And that's why Everything is a Something*

I went to poke ball with Big bro cousin and brother.

What a realisation. The place was so much cheaper. It feels cheaper too aniway. But its reali cheap. That is, after you've been to the bugis one of course. The cues were.. hmm of dubious quality I felt. But you can get lucky if you reali stand there and choose properly.

The music was jolin and jay and all the ktv songs you can find. Which means you can hum along as you poke the balls. Maybe thats a bit distracting? hmm I kinda like it. Except when significant songs come up and makes me all pensive and in a dreamy mood and then in the far distance, I ll hear smth like "Hoi!!! you wana play or not.. if not my turn ah!!" hah ya thats my cousin for you.

The crowd was.. alright if you r not too fussy who's around you. No one good to look at though. Unless you like young punks. But then again, it shouldnt matter right since you'r suppose to be there to reali poke ball and improve your skill. But if you are looking for a better crowd to look at, pls do go ahead to the bugis one. Fridays I think attract the best crowd. And dun go too early. The thursday one.. is oh so no good at all. I wonder why. Sat crowds are just OK. OK onli. But here? I think everyday the crowd also no good. Unless as I have mentioned, you like young punks, which I, for one have absolutely no interest in at all.

But hey! why the sudden addiction, you ask? I mean afterall I was the one who said that was an "ah beng" game. hahah

Well because I get reali bored these days of the monotonity of everything. Ok , maybe not everything. But something. And this is smth new of course. haha But basically, its an excuse to meet up with a fantastic friend and it takes my mind of things of course. A LOT of things. Coz when i play, I just think of how to get that stripey or solid coloured ball into the hole.

Seems that my mind has a lot of things ya.. hmm of course! I think i mentioned i can think myself into depression man. I so wana go to woodlands soon and meet up with my fantastic drama teacher. More of a mentor now and talk greek philosophy with her. About the difference between Eros and Phila.. the teachings of Euripedes and Socrates.. so much so much. It's good to have someone else to share all your thinkings and be interested in what you say. But then again maybe its coz she's older and all, she has a wealth of experience which I dont.

Sometimes I feel a little silly. Coz sometimes i feel I do things like that, put a vase of flowers on a table with unsteady legs. It's a scene in Amy Tan's Kitchen god?* ha dan.. u remember this?* I reali remembered he remembered this scene coz i was very surprised he remembered this scene. coz he says he hates to read. ya hahha I know that one day the vase will crash but still.. I put it on that unsteady table. So so so silly. blardy hell...

When was the last time you tried smth new. Walk into a new place all by yourself. Without someone else beside you for comfort and protection and company. Not knowing what will happen, how will it be like and so on and so forth. Im gg into it soon and I hope I come out all the better from it.

Wish me luck.

It rained 2 days in a row consecutively. It was so very cold when I woke, it felt like I was in Europe. Today I had to reach work at 630am and I left onli in the late evening. Felt totally drained. It was oh so very tiring!

But anyway, on to another topic, did not realise how expesive the taxi charges were until I actually took one yesterday. I mean i knew there were price changes but it did not reali affected me much until yest of course. I took a cab during peak hours ($2) and then there was the flaging down rate ($2.5) AND the blardy ERP! There were 2 somemore! was cringing in the taxi.

Sometimes we put up walls , not to keep people out, but rather to see who cares enough to knock them down. How very true. .. But dun u think its even worse if they knock it down already and then they leave you.. so now u have no one and no wall... total disaster. So.. wall knockers, pls choose carefully!
