FEEL THE BEAT: January 2009

Oh my god! I can actually blog in office? I thought this site was blocked? CNY surprise huh? I am waiting for Ling's boss to give the green light for lunch...hmmm.

Today, it was announced that our CEO was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia and will be beginning chemotherapy immediately. He will be away for 3 - 6 months. Sad thing to hear. Wish him a speedy recovery.

Had a talk with twin this morning, and I got reminded of that uncertain period in my own relationship. I re-read the few journals I wrote almost 2 years back, and I can't believe that another person is going through the exact same struggle. A struggle with pride. But I do believe that the other half does play an important role in improving things...not just a one way effort. This effort in us, may not be seen...cos it's internal, sadly. But, it's ok. You must recognise that you are not 'losing' in any sense when you put in this effort, cos you are doing sth good to yourself - learning to be rational and confident in a relationship. I mention, to think as a team...though the reality is, you may not trust that he is doing the same. But, there are only 2 choices. (1) To put in effort, not knowing what the future is in store for you; (2) Don't put in effort, and to confirm that you will fail this relationship. So, what is a better choice?

Ok...when can Ling go for LUNCH!

It's day 2 of CNY. I'm enjoying the quietness of this Tuesday afternoon...feeling lazy. Grandma's sleeping in the room, daddy also...and my two lovely doggies too. Gu Gu and family came over to visit in the morning, and the whole house was really noisy. Heh. Yeng Yeng loves cookie so much, and refused to put him down...Everyone will be meeting at Gu Gu's place later. Gona take more pics!

Day 1 was good. Aunt Meiling and family as well as Uncle Vincent visited. This year, brother's not at home...and instead, Mom's colleagues came over. So, we all had lunch and chatted through the afternoon. After which I went to visit jQ's parents...at the stall. haha...I spend 3 hours selling drinks! I'm really lousy at it. Can't coordinate at all...and CAN'T COUNT. Gave customers wrong change. hmmph.

Alright, just some pics. More on facebook.

Giving COokie a new look...his RED COLLAR!

jQ with the kids, listening attentively

Nicole me and the boys!haha...jQ and Fluff!

It's CNY again. This year is the least prepared, did the least shopping, and has the least festive mood. In a way, I can't help but feel kinda sad that as I grow older, CNY becomes less meaningful. CNY used to be a dreamy festival to me, funny as it might sound, dreamy was indeed how I felt. :) I miss those days when I was still a kid.

It's 1.27 am in the morning. It's been quite sometime since I am all alone, at this hour. And it's always at this hour that you do some reflections. I feel that, there is really something I haven't been doing. I haven't spend enough time with my parents....We haven't really done something together for a long time. But time seems to be always an issue, with mom practically dancing every other night. Weekends seem impossible for anything too. Maybe, just maybe...I should just spend more time at home. That's all I can do?

Fluff's awaken. :) And has made his way out of daddy's room, now sitting on my lap. He is so sweet....

Well, I met HJ for last min shopping. Keke. Been quite sometime since I last saw her, but everything seemed unchanged. It felt as though she has always been in SG, just tt we haven't met up. Oooh, I got myself 3 tops, and a flora skirt. Settled my CNY clothes! Shall shops for a pair of shoes tml. Have got some idea what I'm gona get tml. :) K...back to TV. Just don't feel like zzzz so soon tonight.

Anyway, HAPPY CNY! Wish all good health, lotsa love & luck...more money this yr pls.

My naughty Cookie!

He's not even 2 months, and he's been hopping around, chasing my poor Fluff, and chewing on everything he sees. Oh my!! But he's smart at the same time, cos with minimal guidance, he's now officially TOILET TRAINED! hehe....Well, I am currently staring at the 2 dogs chasing one another, urgh...laughing and worried at the same time. I have this feeling they are gona turn my house upside down!

Today is the 3rd day at work and it gets busier by the day. I didn't realise how serious I look, until Stef ichatted me "why do u look so dead serious?". Haha...indeed, from the minute I stepped into office till I got off work, I spoke less than 10 sentences? Of course, excluding the need to talk to boss. Urgh, all in all, it's been a long time I have been so focused...though it was draining, I guess, I felt good that time wasn't wasted. I did not even dare to take mc when I am terrribly sick...with cough, sore throat, blocked nose and slight fever. I can't say the same for tml though...cos I feel twice as sick now. Shits.

Oh, and one of my frends...dono if I cant say her name...just entered a new phase in her life! I am so glad she finally found someone who knows how to treasure her. It's good to see someone smiling and looking so loved. :) Hopefully he is the one for u!

Happy New Year and welcome 2009!

Today is the first working day of the new year and I was already overwhelmed. I do not want to talk about work now...just BUSY!

Some updates. *pardon me I am so exhausted, I shall use pictures to sum up all*
