Was feeling a little adventurous today so a colleague and i
met up with a buddy of mine at Tiong Bahru!
(damn tiong bahru market is so far from civilization la!)
Anyway, guess what we saw along the way?!?



Yes.
That is a lady's shoe.
I have no idea why.
But i guess they are
just trying really hard to
make a 1st impression.

All these on a van!
How awesome is that?

Damn funny la...these plumbers.
(wahaha!)

And it appears that due to TGIF, no one is in the mood to work!
Hence, i've pretty much decided to come up with a list of things
that keeps me going in the office.
*sniggers*


1. My mood cup 2. MSN & Jonathan Rhys Meyer!


3. Personal pantry ^^ 4. Spongebob vibrating pillow!


5. An OGF to b**** with 6. Can't stop eating these!

There you go...office life wouldn't be the same without
them. So hurray!

Last but not least...

Happy 29th Feb ya'll!

Another leap year!
Yet another day.

I can't say much except
Thank You.
For walking with me in spite
of everything else in between.

*squish*

you are deeppink
#FF1493

Your dominant hues are red and magenta. You love doing your own thing and going on your own adventures, but there are close friends you know you just can't leave behind. You can influence others on days when you're patient, but most times you just want to go out, have fun, and do your own thing.

Your saturation level is high - you get into life and have a strong personality. Everyone you meet will either love you or hate you - either way, your goal is to get them to change the world with you. You are very hard working and don't have much patience for people without your initiative.

Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation.

This pretty much sums up
recent moods & the
mundane course of life.

Just like somethings...
Life's short. Why bother.

Ok. So i am perhaps just saying this under the influence of PMS.
(2nd day today...bah!)
Just felt like blogging.
Too many pictures i have yet to upload. Oops!

Anyway, BKK is confirmed! Wheeeeee!
(our first holiday!!!)
At least there's something to look forward to.
(of course...we're also really eggcited to see the preliminary
designs
up on crowning stroke as well!)
And and...our Street Fighters gathering!
(ajar ajar fighting! yes. i am dhalsim...how apt!)



And and and finally check out this awesome pair of shoes.

A random friendly chat that stemmed from a strange dream
(yes jem...it is totally weird...)
started an entire conversation about brief encounters, chemistry & love.

"you know...i think chemistry is...overrated when it comes to partners"


All it does is to lead you to believe there could be more to it,
leaving you setting expectations and being disappointed after.
But being in love....that's just something else altogether.
Chemistry is about completing each other's sentences,
making each other laugh, able to connect, and everyone can see it.
You can find chemistry with many people,
depending on how vulnerable you are at a point in time.
But on a whole deeper level, i gather it's when the odds are stacked really low,
when times are shit,
You need more than chemistry to get things going.
The spark gets inflamed from the connection of the two damn hearts,
Sometimes you meet this person and he turns out to be wow...attractive.
You two can really connect, talk about everything under the sun,
and you think "hey...i could go far with this person"
And then you get together and you realise that apart from the chemistry,
You guys have nothing left and it isn't enough to sustain a relationship.

That was what she said.
Inspiring.

And this was what i picked this off from Before Sunset:
Well, all these couples expected after a few years of living together
for the passion, that consuming desire to be the same as in the beginning.
It's impossible!
No, i know. I know that... I mean,
God, otherwise we would end up with aneurism

If we were in that constant state of excitement right?

We would end up dong nothing at all with our lives.


I guess it's all true. How far can chemistry take you?
Which leads me to my next take on brief encounters.
Maybe chemistry is good only when it's ephemeral.
After all, even chemical reaction fizzles out after an experiment.

Why weren't you there in Vienna?
I told you why!
Well, I know why, I just...I wish you would've been!
Our lives might have been so much different!
You think so?
I actually do...
Maybe not, maybe we would have hated each other, eventually.
Oh, what, like we hate each other now?
No, maybe we're...we're only good at...brief encounters.

Maybe brief encounters aren't a bad thing.
The day that two person met will remain a memory that they subconsciously seek,
a feeling that was only beautiful because it was brief.

Ever had that?

Daydream delusion
Limousine eyelash

Oh, baby with your pretty face,
Drop a tear in my wineglass.
Look at those big eyes,
See what you mean to me.
Sweetcakes and Milkshakes.
I am a delusional angel,
I am a fantasy parade.
I want you to know what i think.
Don't want you to guess anymore.
You have no idea where i came from,
We have no idea where we're going.
Launched in life,
Like branches in the river
Flowing downstream,
Caught in the current.
I'll carry you, you'll carry me.
That's how it could be.

Don't you know me,
Don't you know me by now.

Lunchtime.

*stares at the screen eating my breakfast for
lunch & blogs for abit*



Nearly couldn't peel myself of my love's bed this morning.
(kim...you have the awesome-est blankie EVER!)
And don't worry love...you know you have it in you to do it!
Fighting!!!

Anyway...was on the train this morning and all i heard were
CHINESE PEOPLE!
(shh shoorrr shhh shooorrr shoorrrr - excuse me...speak english can?!)
Whatever happened to my dear Singaporeans?
(where are you???)
I swear we are going to be taken over soon.
(mumbles)

Was at a Japanese restaurant once and the waitress told me
"I cannot speak english" (in chinese)
-_-""
The mom also had another episode in the train one morning.
Apparently our method of teaching mathematics was severely criticized.
(It got so bad that she wanted to give a slap to them smugs)

I feel like a racist. :(
Unfortunately...having had experiences that rendered feelings
like that only serves to justify my utter disgust.

Also...
It has come to my attention that i am unable to spell.
"I" before "E" except after "C" but weird is an exception to the rule.
"I" before "E" except after "C" but weird is an exception to the rule.
"I" before "E" except after "C" but weird is an exception to the rule.

Beginnings come at random,
but endings always have a reason.

~"M" by Ayumi Hamasaki~

Got this little quote from a friend who insisted i had to
properly quote Ayu. So there you go.

True isn't it?

I think i experienced an out of body experience today.
Somehow i recall walking to the toilet with my towel,
only to wake up on my bed.
Hmmm...
And i just read Jem's post on dreams.
Interesting...
Come to think of it, i don't seem to remember my dreams anymore.

Pick this off a friend's blog.
So here goes:

the love meme.


In summary, give 10 people your love for making your day, or something
like that. If I have given my love to you, spread it because we are all whores
for love. But only 10 more people, because people do have overlapping f-lists.

Chris: Your randomness rocks! Cheers to our endless crappy conversations
of everything under the sun. *squish* Do you know how hard it is to find
someone like that?!?

Daddy: A simple SMS from you made me laugh - "Hapee Valentine's
Day. N it's also an off day for the bees cos all the flowers has vanished."
(wahaha!)

Meowie: For you are one of those who goes to great lengths for a friend.
You're a gift to those you care about & i wish only the best for you. :)

My Love: Because you are my soul-mate. Amazing race 3? ;)

OGF: My office girlfriend, airhead-kaki, free-hugs partner, pupe-buddy.
One who knocks me in the head all the time. *glomps*

Other Half: My straight 'lesbo' other-half whom i have shared my shopping
sprees, garang treks, tears, joy, mugging, photo-whoring sessions with.
I'm glad we came thus far!

Jem: It still appalls me how you almost always call me at the right time.
Who's to forget that song that started it all. Look how far we've come!

Shorty: Because you're always there to lend a listening ear, to hear me sob,
share my woes & saying all the right things at the right time. You are
too precious to lose. ;)

VyVy: Who gave me my 1st pride rings! For sharing my love stories &

giving me a great honour. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. *hugs*

You: Till this day...i am thankful for the day i met you. Here's to

sunshines, rainbows and tons of love. My precious new year bundle.

So V'day came and went.
Just a simple home-made dinner in a picnic basket.


Years..they fly by.

Oh and us girls
finally got down
to our half-day
out! For anyone
looking out for a
good buffet spread,
do check out

Before i begin...
I am filled with guilt for missing an important day.
This time i remembered the wrong date.
Really sorry...
Happy Belated nonetheless :)

And dammit...she has better clothes than i do!

There goes another CNY...


Funny how long awaited breaks always makes one more exhausted than ever.
Anyhooooo...had the BEST reunion dinner ever.
(carefully prepared under the supreme culinary skills of my dear aunt)


The fantastic looking steamboat spread!


Stuffing my face with the BEST ngoh hiang in the world...

and check out what we ate for dinner. *cheeky grin*
The mom was extremely distracted at me calling them vajajays over dinner.


*sniggers*

and take a look at ailina's new neice - Arie (only 2 weeks old!)


Why do they all look so good young???

Was just talking to a colleague about Valentines' Day.
Which leads to my next question...
Does ANYONE know how the hell 14th Feb came about?
(she says FLORISTS! Hurhurhur. How clever...)
Anyway, i wiki-ed it:

There are several theories about the origin of Valentine's Day celebrations. Some believe the Romans had a mid-February custom where boys drew girls' names in honor of the sex and fertility goddess, Februata Juno; pastors "baptised" this holiday, like some others, by substituting the names of saints such as Valentine to suppress the practice. Others maintain that the custom of sending Valentines on 14 February stems from the belief that birds begin to pair on that date. By 1477 the English associated lovers with the feast of Valentine because on that day "every bird chooses him a mate." The custom started of men and women writing love letters to their Valentine on this day.

Where art thou...
my funny valentine.
