This post is long over due. In order not to confuse things, I shall use the date which I was back. - 24th Nov.

I will start this post with IM HOME!!! Im always "Im home!!" these days.. coz im out of the country so much. This time. .. its on board my fav cruise liner. I love the stars and I love gazing out into the vast ocean with the sea breeze blowin in my face... pictures speak a thousand words... so let's let the pics speak for themselves.






Caught un-awares......














Yet another un-awares shot.. compliments of my bro....








My daddy made me go to the gym with him!!!! super shagged... look at all the dumbells at the side!




















There were a lot of Indian visitors this time. It was a company trip for them. Thus the ship's chefs made sure there were Indian cuisine. AND i got to enjoy my "papdum" all the time!












And this is where I spent a lot of money on board.. the arcade... I think the games reali bring out ur violent streak man. .. . hmm. haha










And somewhere along the way, it rained....look at the wet wet floor...












After the rain.... a shower of brillant colors...
















And sidetrack abit.... here's all that's left of my manicure by the time I was on the cruise liner....

I'm Home!!! 4 days whizzed by in the blink of an eye. Waited so long with anticipation for it and now im back, with more clothes, more laugh lines and less money. haha Before everything fades away, I want to blog abt a few memorable moments in the trip for me.

1. Gg on a trip with the 3 dudes is in itself very memorable already. Elv's savy-ness *winkz*, Jamie's infectious laughter and dan's admirably ever cheerfulness. They were a joy to be with everyday. So wun get sick seeing them like 24hrs a day every day, hahaha...

2. On the second night, we managed to get on a cruise by the river.. compliments of Jamie's dad. *Thanks uncle* That was really good. We had good food, good view, great ambience and nice rose wine. It doesnt hurt that the music was fantastic too. Company was the best of course. It was a night of many coincidences. At least for me.

Firstly we wanted to sit in the open coz we wanted to get a better view of all the landmark places but we could not do so coz the whole cruise was fully booked. Thus we had to make do with an inside table. But who knows, it started pouring halfway. hahah and thus it fully proved the point, everything happens for a reason and just because you dun know the reason doesnt mean its a bad thing!

Secondly, they started playing "Never had a dream come true" by Sclub7 and "One in a million" from the Miss Congeniality soundtrack. And as I sat there looking out into the river... memories just kept flooding back.

And lastly, I had to hear "Let it be" playing live just as we were leaving the place.

3. Chatuchak market was sprawling huge. We would never be able to finish looking at every single store there and we went back twice!!!! The second time was Sunday evening and apparently the place closes at 5.30pm. which we did not know of course. So we were all surprised to see the shops closing. BUT the biggest surprise of all came when we heard the national anthem playing and EVERYONE.. from the handicapped uncle on the street to hawkers and all, standing ramrod straight and not talking. We decided to follow suit as it was "when in rome do as the romans do" And so for that few spilt seconds, I can just imagine the whole of bangkok, or at least Chatucak came to a standstill. You could even hear the flies whizzing abt. And then , as soon as the anthem was over, in just one spilt second, everything bussled back to live..... we were..... *jaws dropped* was the right expression.

4. The next incident which is imprinted in my memory also happened in Chatuchak. Dan was doing traffic control for us gals, coz we were in diff shops and then he stepped into a drain. Super shocked. Luckily there was no blood or anything. It was a shock cum unbelievable and a little guilty feeling all mixed together. hha.. Let me explain..

Shock coz he was standing behind me one moment and then the next moment he was standing in the drain, Unbelivable coz he's so cheerful all the time.. flitting abt like a butterfly, always keeping the spirits up.. guilty coz I was feeling a little down at that time and not helping in keepin the spirits up. hahha.. and why? *a little secret* Elv knows but i swear i ll tell u 2 real soon, dan and jamie

5. On our last night in Bkk, we decided to have a good dinner at this place called Vientinne Kitchen. To cut a long story short, the ambience there was fantastic, there were gals dancing, guys doing swordplay and the ambience was just super and the most memorable thing was the long talk we had at the table, with laughter and tears. I think for a moment i scared myself too. Amlost finished the tissue at the table. I dun think i ll ever forget that table talk. It like a level up, to understand a little more abt the events in each other's life.

6. Patpong *the red light district* made me feel like i was in amsterdam again. I was clinging on the jamie and elv and dan was on high alert mode even though he looked like he was gg to sleep anytime. He was like "mai mai mai" * "no" in thai*all the way to the guys at the side touting the sleazy shows.

7. AND this i MUST SAY... MUST MUST MUST SAY.... the traffic in bkk was as usual not great. There were sooo many cars and we dun even see pedestrain crossings much! AND there was this stupid taxi driver who besides knockin a lot of money out of us for a short distance, did not want to send us straight to our hotel steps! HE dropped us at the other side o fthe hotel and we had to jaywalk across 2 busy streets with cars that were practically moving non-stop!!! AND ME, who dun even jaywalk in singapore, was terrified. AND my friends there were so gungho can... the 4 of us were holding hands so that we could cross at the same time and they said cross in front of the BUS!! a bus!! I was frozen shock... couldnt move and the bus came nearer and nearer and at the last moment, elv half dragged me across the street. My heart was in my mouth man..... . . .. .. scary

I always feel that trips like that make us all into better person and enable us to understand each other more. haha It is now one of my rainbow in the year 2006. " ) Thanks for the great company!

Met with such IR-RESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOUR on my way to work that I simply had to blog abt it...

This morning as I was on my way to work, I witness the pea-brain workings of a driver on the roads. To get to my work place today, I had to pass by an ERP gantry. It was along an expressway and the cars' were whizzing by at speeds like 80-90km/h. And suddenly, I had to do an Emergency brake. I craned my neck to look at what happened. There was a string of stationary vehicles in my lane.

APPARENTLY, 1 stupid car just suddenly stopped in the middle of the roads! Why?!! COZ HE forgot to put in his cash card into the reader... so Irresponsible! Luckily all the cars behind could pull to a stop and there was no accident. Can you imagine if the cars behind could not stop in time?

It would be *bang-bang-bang* one after another after another.. a whole string of bangss....

There's a rule in Singapore that in a road accident, usually the car behind is at fault. But in some cases, its the cars in front. Just like this case.

Thus ALWAYS check the back before you brake dear drivers... even if the speed camera is up ahead, you forgot to put in your cashcard into the reader or you just want to slow down coz you are wondering which direction to take.... BEFORE YOU BRAKE, pls check your rear mirror and make sure its safe to do so...Dun engage in such irresponsible behaviour, you may just ruin someone else's whole life. .. ..

*a pissed-off principessa*

hahah..Look! I JUST realised smth. I blow many many colorful bubbles everyday. Big round ones... colorful ones.

AND EVERYDAY.... i will meet some idiots who will just burse my bubbles. So blardy evil right. Am i angry?? hahah.. noooooo im not. I ll just blow new ones. ..

AND a man who's very dedicatedly at work is a very sexy sight indeed. Indeed indeed. Esp if the features are all right too. haha..

Statement of the night:

You must be brave and be there. Coz she just wants to hold your hand.

One experienced father to another soon-to-be dad on how he should be during his wife's pregnancy.

What I felt then:

Admiration and respect for the man who said that.

Got a pleasant shock today. I squealed, "Gasps!! reali ah!!!!!" Thanks ah for bringing the pool smell to me. The power of 2. I would reali like to think that you were here to see that im kicking and alive though. hhaaha. Much appreciated.

Gt an msn msg from an MIA guy also.. . .. BUT he's still MIA.. coz i wasnt ard to reply... MIA all the way lor.. well done.

3am: Got dragged to supper @ Chinatown. I din know it was so active during this kinda 鸟不生蛋time... it was sure crowded man. Had porridge and deep fried pig organs....!!!!They tasted surprisingly good! Good variety there man. One day bring u all there also. But of course must be at those 鸟不生蛋 time.hahah

5am: Feel like dying already. Nose starting to run. Watching those adverts received over from Andy. Wishing I can go home soon. Actually feel like flagging a cab soon. But u know what? Silly me onli have 5 bucks in my wallet.. sigh... so super.

Im so tired. I think I can just bathe and then collaspe on my bed. I ve never thought of it in a better light. And frankly, I dare not look at the mirror now. I think I look a wreck.

And im very FEDUP with a lot of things too. Just because I dun do anything abt it now, doesnt mean I m not gg to. There's a limit to my patience and tolerance. One day I might just burst and there' ll be no turning back too. I can just see it happening.

That's it. Im angry.

I WAS WAITING TOOOOOO, WHY DIDNT U THINK OF THAT $%#@#@ . .. .. *sniff sniff*

Aniway...dear folks, Im currently at home now. Coz im on MC. Duno what kind of infliction im suffering from. MC yet again.. sigh sigh sigh.....

Doc: Hahahhaah

Me: *irritated* hmm so is there?

Doc: Are you in touch with anything foreign these 5 months?

Me: Ermm ya... my work is smth new.

Doc: Oh so maybe is ur work....

Then he paused a bit and said

Doc: Oh maybe ur room also. Must keep ur room tidy...

Me: . . .*****oh hmm ok.

Thursday. Friday to come. No work tml too. Coz im down for night operations.

R.E.S.T

It's Mid week. Wednesday. As promised in my previous post, let's talk about smth close to heart. The F word. FATIGUE.

As defined in M-W,

Fatigue --> a: weariness or exhaustion from labor, exertion, or stress b : the temporary loss of power to respond that is induced in a sensory receptor or motor end organ by continued stimulation

That's not all. Apparently there are different kinds of fatigue.

1. Mental Fatigue

This can be caused by continual mental effort and attention on a particular task, as well as high levels of stress or emotion. Basically, any mental process that goes into overload can result in this disorder.

I think this is the most common during our exam periods. hahha.. mental fatigue AND mental anguish. hahaaa. Anyone still suffering from mental fatigue?

For this kinda fatigue, you just need to go and take a short break and make sure your body has enuff oxygen. So go breathe... breathee...

2. Chronic Fatigue (Psychological Fatigue)

This is a terrible fatigue to have. This is like a long term fatigue that doesnt go away even if you sleep. coz its psychological. This kinda fatigue can surface when you are stressed over a long period of time. Like if you're stressed at work for like 6 months or so. *hints hints*

Or you have smth on your mind. What's so special about this kinda fatigue is that it fluctuates and unlike physical fatigue, it is lessened by activity and tends not to interfere with duties and responsibilities. It works this way, the more things u have to do, the more occupied you are and then you wun think about some things and so it reduces ur psychological fatigue. This is so unlike physical fatigue where the more you do the worse the fatigue becomes.

For this kinda fatigue, you need a long break. Like a vacation or a trip. *memememe*

3. Muscle Fatigue (Physical Fatigue)

This happens when you have a lot to do and no break. Physical activties that is. Like if you have been carrying a lot of heavy loads and stuff like that. Or you just did a run and feel like dying after that. The best remedy for this? Rest rest rest.


That's all folks. All abt fatigue. Wish you all well. Battle fatigue. Whatever fatigue snydromes you have, pls avoid at all costs, chronic fatigue.

* Poor gal, no hot guys, a dinosaur, and lots of other hot babe. Im sure ur the hottest! And I miss on-ing my lappie and seeing you online*

Im so impulsive. U know how sometimes ppl suffer from post-purchase dissonance? I think I m having a little of post confession dissonance.

Shit.. I was rash, still am rash AND i dun think im gg to be un-rash (if there's such a word) anytime soon. I always thought i had a good head on my shoulders. Apparently sometimes it goes haywire a fair bit. *sighs* Wonder what was I thinking. Never in my wildest dream would I have decided to do smth so ridiculous. But all there is, is just post confession dissonance. No hate or anything of that sort. And I truly wished you would believe me with all ur heart. If there's one feeling I dun have in me, that must be hate. I dun believe in hating anyone at all. Coz I believe that there's a reason for everything that happens, and just because I duno the reason, doesnt mean its a bad thing.

Pool was good. So long as I dun get trashed, I think its good. HAHA..easily satisfied. Company was hilarious. Ask the one who kept *sighing* He looked like the gal bringing him off to sell. haha and all that farnie sub-titles reali tickled my funny bone. Bought a new top in dark navy blue. I hate blue. But i like dark navy blue. haha contradicting.

The new year's coming. On my balance sheet,
1) A buffet dinner to come
2) A present to give away because of a blardy stupid tic tac toe
3) Smth I promised a year ago....
4) Smth I bought for a gal but never got to sending it out.

Haha.. enuff on that... it reminds me of accounting...

It's gg to be an interesting week ahead. I ll make it an interesting one. Will share smth close to everyone's heart in the next post! Till then!

A friend told me this,

"Life throws you many little pebbles until you get what its trying to tell you. And then if you r still stupid, it throws u a boulder. And then you will regret it. When you had the chance to get your act right, you din. Coz you ignored those pebbles. Now when the boulder comes, you get it. But it takes so much more to get your act together. "

So these days the phrase, "life throws you many little pebbles" keep ringing in my mind.

To you, good luck tml! I hope you will enjoy urself! 4 fat gals, 6 hot guys and one skinny pretty friendly gal. haha...

无话可说， 比争吵更折磨。 。 。 。 。 可是在同时，两人之间的舒服沉默是无可取代。 。 。

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

妈妈，我什么都没说， 可是你一眼就知道我心里是怎么想的。我知道你知道。

That one big word FATE. How is it that upon sight, you like some ppl and some you dun. You just dun. Do you believe in KARMA? I definitely do. Like money karma, relationship karma, work karma, life karma. haha..

This is such a big big world and yet you meet the people you do. Don't you ever wonder what made you crossed paths, get to know each other and all? Some ppl come and go, some worm their way into your heart and stay there forever. Is it reali how we treat each other? Or is it some other thing?

And so some things, I believe you cant take too hard. You can just take it in stride. Have you ever heard the story about the monk? It goes like that;

" There was this gal whose bf left her after 7 years together,*maybe its the 7 yr itch* haha im kiddin.. the email just states 7 years . OK, i go on. The gal was of course devastated. She was heartbroken and wanted to take her own life by the pond. And then a monk came by and stopped her and asked her what was the matter? She was super devastated and told the monk the whole story. "I loved him so much for all these years, how could he do that?!", she wailed.

Then seeing the poor gal looking so sad, the monk took out an old mirror and told her to look into it. And there in the mirror, she saw these scenes; There was a long stretch of beach and upon closer look, she saw an exposed dead body on shore. It lay there for a fair bit of time before someone walked past. But the person did not do anything about the body. This person just gave it a glance and walked away. The second person that came along took out a piece of cloth and covered the body before walking away. And the third person that came along dug a hole and buried the body.

The images faded away and the gal looked puzzled. She turned to the monk with a questioning look.

The monk put the mirror away and explained. That body belonged to your bf in his past life. The first person who just walked past it, they were not fated to meet in this life. The 2nd person who covered his body? That was you, my girl. And so in this life, he took care of you for 7 years. And the 3rd person who buried his body, he will take care off his whole life. And that will be his wife. So, dun be too sad, my gal. With that, he gave her a patz and left."

And that my friend, is the story that I cannot forget. Im not sure how many of you believe in things like KARMA. But, i do. I suddenly felt like blogging about this because I suddenly got to thinking how all our paths crossed. So many ppl in the country and yet, we meet the ppl we meet. So many ppl to choose from and yet we choose the ppl we choose.

It's fate and good karma all rolled into one, my friends. " )

But of course, fate lets you meet the ppl u meet. It still takes loads of give and take, care and concern and the effort to make it all work!

Smth I gt from one of my friend's blog. haha

A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day... 30,000 to a man's 15,000.
The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men...
The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"


Haha.. sounds familiar?
