FEEL THE BEAT

I'm gona draw up some concrete plans soon!

:)

We shall see the results pretty soon, if not, some time this year.

In any case, I'm sorry folks, U've just got to be envious, and think I am pure lucky. And, yes, i agree i am, just too bad for u then. Pray for more luck, ya? If u haven't had ANY all this life.

*i can be rather mean, don't u agree?*

MSN nick: emotionless

Should I just count myself lucky? Cos I have been feeling rather emotionless to things. Most of the time, I feel either of these two 1) tired 2) not tired. This is all. There is no such thing as happy / angry / sad. Oh btw, that happens on a typical work week.....doesn't apply to my weekends. Weekends are ta-da, mostly happy. So, overall...it's a smooth, non-rollar coaster kinda life for me. Late nights are a no-no too frm Mon - Fri.

I realise blogging is no longer a daily affair for me, & the reason is obvious. Evident from above, work week is non-commentable, ya? :) So, weekend was packed again. Poor me, the sunday comp was a quick one. haha, quick to get out. wahaha......had this feeling when I was doing quickstep. It's a sure fail. Anyway, it tells me one thing. No more slacking, there must be more balance in quickstep and waltz. Waltz is more or less stable, needs constant practice only...Q.S needs SERIOUS help. :P Latin too, I shall do more soon. This means: re-scheduling of time-table = less time for u, u and u. who is u? :P

Wedding dinner yesterdae night at Rasa Sentosa...I dono this person, and I gave a $100 ang bao? I am so ridiculous. Had fun at the table with you though. *grin*

Events lining up this week, which are not exactly what i would hope for (for items 1 & 2 only hehe).
1) Tues: Welcome lunch with Head of Group Audit (there goes my only happiness during work...)
2) Tues: Farewell dinner and drinks for SVPs = pay money = broke = drunk = tired
3) Wed: KTV session with DBS khakis = late night AGAIN = i wish for MC on thurs

btw......dinner with the KP kakis just now at Imperial Treasure at Suntec. 6 of us, but we seemed to have 12 mouths when we were taking orders.
YY: 宫保鸡丁?
Iris & Connie: 我不要!
Andy: 猪肉?
Ting: I am halal.
and the list goes on........................WE NEVER AGREE ON ANYTHING.

This is one of the best weekends ever. I wish every weekend is this eventful and fulfilling, then it makes the whole work week worthwhile! :)

Last Friday evening was good, dancing at CSC as usual. Ballroom-ed with Des, which didn’t yield particularly good results, evident from the “de-proved” dancing the very next day. Teacher advised that we don’t practise on our own without his close scrutiny until our steps are matured and stable enough. Mind you, we actually get scolding, in effect lecturing, for being hardworking??? Sigh, but I do understand why he was so worked up when all our moves went haywire on Saturday…Comp is just round the corner. Anyways, the weekend is SUPPOSed TO BE happy, remember? This is just a bit of a spoiler. This Friday was one of the rare days that I headed home right after dance at 1030pm….cos, Nicole baby and Grandma stayed over! I couldn’t wait to see Nicole. When I called home in the cab, Nicole surprised me by answering the phone…heeee, so sweet lah. LOVE HER SOOO MUCH. It’s a pity the night was short, cos she was abt to sleep when I got hm. But this baby was amusing me so much, a perfect entertainer. Made me laugh so hard!:)

The night was still young at 12am, and off to Fong Seng for some mutton soup, Bandung, and Nasi Lemak with jQ. Tired tired tired. But a good way to start the weekend!

Saturday – awaken by Nicole baby. She just sat up on the mattress and was weeping…poor thing. Must be scared by the unfamiliar environment. So I carried her and she stopped crying and immediately started PLAYING, in less than 1 min. oh god, she is this playful…*cute* I’m so thankful grandma was around too, keke. Someone to prepare half-boiled eggs and milo for me. Yeah, I woke up at 930am! An achievement…..most Saturdays were spent sleeping till noon. Watched the recorded “so u think u can dance” finals with Nicole, and she is a talented dancer I must say…I shall bring her for some training soon :P It’s a real homely feeling, which I haven’t felt for ages….with nice home-cooked lunch and dinner, afternoon naps, and a baby to play with. How nice. Then it was dance practice at west coast. (erm….) More fun came at night when I met up with Jiana and Ade (jQ came at almost 1am) at Clementi Partyworld. Long Long Long time no sing. We have selected 5 songs (4.5 maybe…haha) for Jiana as her cheng2 ming2 qu3. Those that she can sing when any shuai4 ge1 is around. Haaaa. Bimbotic.
Sent the girls home at 2am, and off me and jQ went for some nice tim sum at Rui4 Chun1. I was already half asleep though. But still, with a very very very tired pair of legs and half shut eyes, we toured Mustafa. Thanks for the Jumbo Elephant. (intended to give Nicole! But I kept it) Reached jQ’s hse at close to 4am, and we only slept at 5…

Oh I have so much to say, cos I love this weekend, this this much. Sunday was pretty much a family get-together. Reached hm abt noon, and had home-cooked lunch AGAIN. This time together with Aunt Meiling and family too! <3<3 Then together, all 8 of us went to the temple at Paya Lebar…..gg temple with the family can be fun too ya?
Danced again. After which I met up with HJ and off we proceeded to Shenhong’s 21st bdae celebration at the FARAway land, Loyang. Me and HJ were basically sitting arnd, and had fun watching “The Dance Floor” audition. SOOoooo many familiar faces! Haha, better don laugh at pple. They have the courage la~ Oh I have to comment abt Shenhong. This boy set up a donation box for the Children’s Society. He did not accept any gifts but just wanted us to give some donation. Me and HJ donated a total of $50. Had an embarrassing moment too…performed 2 dances with Shenhong. Chachacha n Rhumba. Urghs, all was well, except for the limited space and a split second of “leg-sprain”. Faints. HJ recorded it, and we laughed damn hard when we caught that moment! Leg-spraining. Haaa!! Sooo, the usual cake-cutting, candle blowing, wishing…photo-taking. Then back home..the ride was long long long. Pasir Ris to west coast.
jQ was the sweetest bf. Told him I missed him, and he appeared at my carpark the moment I got home. Drove me for supper at West Coast mac, den he stayed over. :P Was too tired to accompany him though…fell asleep till the very next day.

THEN IT WAS MONDAY.

I'm trying to be my own doctor. But if u could tell me what's wrong with me, feel free to advise me. Am I sick actually? Dono how to find out....

Work has indeed been quite boring, but what challenges do I want? I want to do well, but I am not persistent. I lose my focus too easily.

9 mths into this relationship. What are our plans?

I need a direction in life, to see exactly where I am heading towards. I have everything, but I lack a direction.

Wrote this when I was in office.........really couldn't concentrate and felt lethargic.
Reason 1: It's Monday.
Reason 2: I couldn't get over what happened.

Dear blogger,

It’s only the start of year 2007 and I am facing some problems already. I dono what is it, but I have been feeling terrible lately. I have been demanding in terms of getting my needs met. Or rather, my needs are a bit too abundant and difficult to satisfy. Even I don’t know how to meet these needs and why these needs even arose. What happened? In order to control myself is so far the hardest thing I’ve ever encountered. U know what’s the right thing to do, and you know what shit u gona get into if u do certain things…and…you still do it. Stupidity on my part, or am I just too rash all the time? Settle on a plan to improve things, and the next minute my heart will sway my thoughts the other way….according to how I want things to go. I am not sure how I really feel, but I just am feeling “unhealthy”…. I am not cheerful the way I used to be.

I can only think of one thing. Is pride that important? Why do I have so much of it….sometimes, a small little thing, or just something unintentional people say can cause my pride to be challenged, and most of the time….I feel like I’ve lost. Lost to WHO? I don’t know. I need to find a way to stop wanting to win……… I’m sucha typical LEO. L
It’s unfair to you whenever I am like this. Cos u probably are the one who feel the impact of things, and most of the time ending up in a total loss.

Saturday was a nightmare.

You did not change. I was the one who forced u to show me that scary side of u.
Saw those emails u sent before Saturday. And I almost burst out in tears…….that kinda of bliss and happiness was something I overlooked. Thank goodness I saw the mail in time. I wonder what happens if I kept dwelling on things….and pretending that I am ok. I probably will start something silly again.

I wanna be ok again, can I?

*end of post*

It's a wonder how I can be feeling so much better now. It's this easy to heal a broken heart....
I've got a "dumb dumb rabbit" to add on to my collection.......post his pic soon. :)
Had an ok night...short, but the healing effect was great.
Dinner with Yanrong and Donggu over at Cityhall's Magic Wok....shopped at Robinsons for someone's super belated pressie, decided on the pressie, but can't find it there. Got ourselves hush puppies boxer shorts though... :P I am wearing it NOW!! and I believe YY is too hahaaa
Dear picked me, and off we went to IKEA! Free drinks at the cafe, watching Tom and Jerry. You kept laughing like a lil kid...! Dear loves Tom and Jerry.

HaPPy 2007! Girls!

Btw, there are only 7 of us...cos 2 other went to buy bread for us. haahaa. TOO BAD.


1st January 2007, Monday, was spent with all 8 other sisters, full force....taking graduation photos at 黎明 studio in Clementi. It was HORRIBLE HORRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLY......fun. I can't explain this, I think the photographer might just hang our photos outside the shop. ahhaha. I think he has never met 9 mad old women who grab ANYTHING and EVERYTHING in the studio and use them as props for the photo shoot. hurrrr this is crazy. We took easily over 30 shots. At first we havent warmed up....still allow him to '处理'. But soon, most of us couldn't surpress our creativeness already *tsk tsk* and once he gave the green light to "自由发挥" we literally scrambled everywhere, to every corner of the studio to pick up whatever's lying around. LIKE....those chinese antique vase with flowers (and...dropping the whole bouquet on the floor), long red scarf....ratten basket which maids in the olden days used to carry to their 心上人's house, paper umbrella that 小倩 carry??? paper fan......wadever....we looked like 八仙过海 in the oil painting.

And before the actual photo shoot, HOURS were spent dolling ourselves up in the studio, touching up 4 times? And ade kept asking the photographer (who is NOT old) "UNCLE! 我美了吗???" or "UNCLE! 这个pimple 我要 photo-shop 掉..." or others will go "眉毛可以 photo-shop 吗?" VAIN POTS............I was the one who asked abt eyebrow though. *guilt*

13th Jan we'll be celebrating nana's bdae and selecting photos at the same time. Meanwhile, here are some self-taken photos before the photo-shoot. gladly...these look normal. HUGS sisters. Looking forward to our CNY re-union dinner.
