This reminded me of something i had posted before -

If the axe is dull and he does not sharpen it’s edge, then he must exert more strength. Wisdom has the advantage of giving success.
-Ecclesiates 10:10

We must ever improve ourself, to better ourself.. Or run the risk of becoming obsolete.

Monday - 25 Sep 06

This is a brand new week, and i'm starting it with a splash~!! Right into Sentosa~! ^^

Met Clement at Harborfront @ 11am to do our assignment @ Spinelli.. After we're done (well.. sort of..), we went for lunch at the food centre opp harborfront. The duck rice is said to be very famous - didn't eat that, i tried the porridge, and if the standard is anything to go by - the duck rice must be spectacular... haha... Haiya, to judge how good it must be - do you realise there are no photos of it? Hee.. exactly, ate it all before i remembered about photos! hehehe...

Then~....
Sentosa!! Suntan time~*~

At night, picked up my durian mooncake from Marriot from XY.. yummy~ my mum and i ate one each the minute i got back! haha.. So happy, durian gives me endorphins too... hahaha...

~*~Sis, it's ok, when u're back, i'll buy the Goodwood durian puffs for u! K!! Hugz!~*~

Going to get the Shang mooncakes soon.. la la la... ^^

SUNday - 24 Sep 06

Met Vincent for blading in the end, cos i wanna shop around for blades, but nothing within my budget - guess i gotta look around more.. Gonna wait for Jean to come back, drag her to Queensway with me to look look.. Hee...

Met Wen after that at Orchard - oops, totally forgot we were supposed to go CFC.. so sorry!! Well, anyway, we ended up both being very satisfied ladies, cos we went to get our mooncakes from Holiday Inn Atrium! You can get it nowhere else except for at the hotel itself.. They dun set up outside one.. Zan~!!! Her fav - egg custard mooncake, and green tea mooncake!! Wah, i totally fell in love with the green tea when i ate it la..

At first the lady wasn't really willing to take out the sample for the green tea, but we told her we are buying one la, just a matter of how many boxes.. So she took it out, and the good thing about there is that the samples are generous - she took out a whole mini bing-pi for us.. Hahaha!!

Saturday - 23 Sep 06

Worked till 6pm, supposed to go CFC with Wen.. But den~... =P Decided to eat dinner at the the HK cafe, but we chatted till we forgot the time, missed the class. Then i want to shop, so we skipped CF.. Went to FE Plaza, shopped till 10plus, met Cynthia & bf at Coffee Bean to chat and wait for our dear gal, who in the end still let us wait~ sigh... haha...

Finally decided MOS, but ok lo, for us hardcore r&b lovers, it's only "hai ke yi" lor... Went Mr Bean after that.. (Hmmm... tot we were only supposed to "xia xia" the guys, how come we really go??) ANyway, got home only @ 6am.. Poor Richard, still gotta be chauffeur... =P

went to send Jean and Janice off at the airport yesterday - gave her a surprise by turning up with Clement unexpectedly - hee.. cos i told her i can't make it there~ ^^ Then Clem and i were like doing really nonsense funny stuff - haha...

Missed my chocolate fondue~ but nvm.. Jean more important!! haha... =)

My very own little monokuro-boo bag~

bought after the swimming trip on Thur w WW..^^

Had a great time with Wenwei after school yesterday.. Hee.. We went to the swimming complex at Jurong East!!! We were there for over 3 hours, almost can't believe it if not for the big clock on the sports complex.. We went for two rounds of the man-made waves, nearly 10 times on the slides and unaccountable rounds on the Lazy river doing funny things... It was really great, and the entry fee was really affordable~ ^^ Who says fun has to be expensive~ hahaha...

Just finished work now, going to get a good dinner tonight! To my chocolate fondue!!! Yeah!!!

Saw this online, ok ok, give me hope!!!

Libra Today~!

You're like a wild horse today: You aren't very receptive to being held down or managed. This could cause some tension in the workplace environment, so if you receive an irksome email or are asked to go above and beyond when you've already been going above and beyond for months, count to 10 before responding!

Your spirit is high and positive, but you must try to challenge it in a constructive way. It's a great day for an ambitious workout -- physical exercise is the perfect antidote.

Can i do it??? Wah.. Stress......

My group mates, the IT savvy one - Valerie, the creative director of our slides - Sharyn, the talk-non-stops - Me & Kai... Hahahahahaha....

bought a new watch with Gigi on Sat.. Hee.. shopped around in bugis, but couldn't find her bag - it's fated la, i tell u.. hahaha - bought the longed for white watch in the end. Each of us bought a white watch for play and a black watch for work.. Hee..

Went to watch the "Banquet" with Alan.. Oh people, if u havent' watched it - DON'T.. it's really really lame.. everyone dies.. it's a really lame story..

Happy happy, went to HRC again this week - our group, k, jem, jan & lionel.. as well as jem's frens... It's good to be there man.. My dearie, jan~! Hee... (She might kill me, she dun like this pic.. haha..)

And bumped into Jess!!! Jess, we had so much fun that time, this time we'll keep in contact, ya! Going to organise one night to Phuture.. Will keep u updated.. ^^

Sunday's ECP this week was just Jean, Vincent & me.. But we had fun, Jean & I cycled - otherwise no way to keep up with Vin la.. haha.. The sky was so dark, but we were lucky, and it didn't rain.. ^^ Went for supper after that, and only got home @ 11.. Slept at 12.... Zzz..

Been half dead today.. don't even know why.. I was still ok when i boarded the train. then i felt like i was gonna faint there and then.. Sigh.. went for my in-class test, and straightaway u-turned back home.. Had a home-cooked lunch and went straight to bed...
So sorry to my group mates, i couldn't be there at the meeting... =(

A card for Leslie in thanks for his help for our project - drawn by Sharyn... ^^

This is a very special packet of char kway teow.....

Why?

Hee.. Cos it's the first time ever I had a stranger treat me to a meal!!!

Really, i swear - i was just buying dinner home after work yesterday night, and i ordered this char kway teow from the coffeeshop downstairs from my place.. So i was seating down at a table, waiting for my food, and i accidentally kicked this guy who was passing by me. I just apologised to him lo, and continued doin my stuff.. So i saw that the cook was packing my order already, and i stood up to go over. Then this guy came over and asked if i want to eat?!! Ok, so i was pretty stunned, and i just say that i have ordered already and went to the stall. Then even better, the stall owner refuse to accept payment from me, and took the guy's money!!! I'm like, i don't even know you??? Anyway, he was really sincere, and kept telling me he means no harm - so, in the end i took it and went off.. I was really weirded out.. Haha... But - the char kway teow tastes really good... hahahaha....

Saw this mascot for the wasabi ice cream at the fair at Taka now.. "She's" so Cute!! Kawaii ne~
These are the funny signs and stuff lyly and I saw @ MS... the middle one is the best la - "Avoid Hungovers - Stay Drunk~!!" hee...
My new slippers!!!! happy happy gal!!!

lovely day! ~ 130906

Rushed the whole night yesterday to get my individual assignment for BM212 done. Good gracious, lucky my topic is already thought of, thanks to some pushing from Clement.. But essentially, i didn't sleep at all lo.. haha.. Well, at least i don't look totally like a panda yet, so muz take care~ ^^ Got the assignment done just at 7am when i muz wash up and go to school for meeting le..

Meeting was at 9am for a final check before our project presentation for BM212 - and i was super duper stupid - I left the bag of props behind at home when i kept telling myself to bring it!!! I only realised it when i was on the train, and already reaching khatib! Sigh... So sian, so u-turned to get the bag of goodies, and took a cab to school.. Super EX!!! Well, anyway all of us where in white, and i muz say, it was a good job done, and we fared well. =D Let's have a good lunch one of these days!! One of the few times where we can just go up there and spout whatever we want, absolutely no planning, no scripts ye.. haha...

Anyway, we got the simple ones, the third group, their proj is quite complicated, and has detailed instructions on what muz be accomplished to get some figures for their presentation.. Man, we are heng ah! Makes me feel better about choosing a day where the deadline clashes... hahaha...

met Eleanor to go watch the Forbidden City after class - Oh, it was really good, but it was just a nagging irritation that it was not Kit Chan - i dunno, maybe because it's a matinee show, but that's not the way still, if they wanna do that, at the very least, they should let us know! I mean, hello~ we bought Cat 1 tics, can't be to see a person we never heard of to sing~!! (But lucky for me, lyly is a really amazing gal, she managed to get us replacement tics to watch it again~!!! This time, definitely with Kit Chan!!! Yoo Hoo!!!!!)

Went for dinner & some shopping at MS after that, saw lots of funny funny stuff! hee..

Oh, and i bought a new slipper!!! Hmmm.. thinking of an occasion that i can wear it to for the first time... Hee hee.. ^^

Hee.. I'm now at my workplace, and openly blogging~ cos i'm off work le, and actually intending to go home - But... the door can't lock~!! hahaha... Lucky i'm not responsible - cos i don't have the key! hahahaha... So now my poor manager is trying ways and means to lock the door, and i'm just taking it easy here, and check my mail, settle some emails... hee....

But seriously, i think i really like my work.. My manager is a really cool fella - well, sometimes... haha... Quite easy to work with.. =)

Anyway, i'm darn concussed la.. Want to sleep more - how~!! Not enought hours in a day.........

Horoscope

Quickie:Anything that reminds you of the past will give you a better sense of the present.

Overview:Ignore a tactless comment or two. This person is speaking from their insecurities -- and what they're saying certainly shouldn't be seen as the gospel truth. Ride these doubts out like a rocky patch of surf.

random play on my computer and heard this song by Andy Lau - Tie Le Xin Ai Ni

Brought back some memories from long ago. Once happy, things change... Came across yet another cache of stuff that belonged to me and him. It's been 2 years. Yet i can remember so clearly the days that we spent together. As i look through each thing, i recall the things we did, the places we went, our usual routine, our days we spent together. It's like time never passed. Going for haircuts together, going to your favourite restaurant with our bonus, going to the beach... Can you believe i still have your keys? You were so much a part of my life. But in the end, i was the one who gave up. In the end, it was still too much for me. All that upheavals, all those emotions, all that stress.

Threw everything out as i did with all the rest. Past is past, and all this is behind me. Learnt some stuff about myself this past year, learnt some stuff about life, about people, about love. Maybe this is the life i would have led already if i didn't meet you, maybe not. There are no recriminations, no blame. I never regretted the time we had.

I'll be getting where i want to be all the same, maybe just a little slower than others - But - I am doing it.

Anyway, then again, the last time i heard this song, it was sung by a person i thought well of.. The songs that day spoke of love and heartache... Another tormented by "love". Got me thinking a lot the past two days. Relationships is not something simple, not something to play around with. If i have learnt only one thing from my past, it is that relationships are to not to be undertaken lightly. It is not just about yourself and if you're happy. It is also another person's life. If you're unhappy together, then is there really any point in being together? If you don't like the other party, then why be together? It took me a year to figure it out, but truly - it probably would have been better for the other party never to have met person A if his or her heart is not in the relationship. The longer one was in a relationship, the harder it is to let go of the past...

Past - is exactly that. Past.

History cannot be changed, and we are who we are because of our experiences. When the goals have been chosen and the paths differ, so be it. Watched the Korean show, "My Lovely Samsoon", and i remember the male lead said - "So be it, let it all end here. No more self-blame, no more blaming. If i meet her again one day in the future, she will not see a despondent me." At the very least, that's what i believe in.

Took precious time out from rushin my assignment due today to write this... I am so going to be dead......... X_X

(And i am so Panda...-_- Sigh...)

I'm so impressed with myself.. Hee...

I bladed for nearly 4 hours yesterday!! and it's only my 2nd time blading yeh... hahaha...

Hee.. very impressed with myself.. i managed to sleep for 13 hours straight!! Now i know what's my limit when i'm sleep deprived~! haha...

slept from 5pm when i reached home yesterday after class to this morning 6am, when i am supposed to wake for my 8.30 class... and i did not set alarm clock one lor.. ^^ been rushing my assignments lately, and sleeping only 4-5 hours for the past days.. Until i look like a panda.. haha..

In sch, and going for proj meeting now.. Ciao~!!!

Still in sch at this moment..

Realised it's really time to work harder le... I've been taking it easy for the past month - it's time i started my engine, and really put my brains to work... No regrets, i tell myself, for this chance in another scholastic endeavour.. It wasn't easy to get here, i'm not going to waste it.

It's so much easier to work when u can get your things done fast - accomplished more in FAL today than over the weekend at home... When the page loads slowly at home, i'll start thinking of going to do other things while it loads, and by the time the page loads, i'll be in the middle of something else... Concentration just isn't there.....

Been partying too much - time to put my feet on the ground again... Walk before running, and we gotta learn that before we can fly~

Tot over some stuff these two days, and i find that the scariest thing on earth is still a person's heart. When all is well, the speech and actions can be so... well, i think all knows la... Then a person's thinking or can change overnight. Literally.

Heck. the idiot probably won't see this anyway... But i guess i juz wanna bitch about it~ hahaha~!!! I have nothing to hide. I am like that.

(Disclaimer: Below is purely my bu shuang-ness only.. In a bad mood pls do not read...)

If this is what u call being frens, forget it man.. I have people i seriously dislike who are more deserving of the title 'friend' to their friends~!!! Shi ni rang wo men lian peng you dou zhuo bu liao le... Kan qing ni de ren, shi wo de yun qi hao ba... Nan dao, Nan he Nu zhi jian jiu be neng you dan chun de you yi ma??? Na jiu hua qing jie xian ba... I just don't want our friends to be caught in the middle. Think about it.

Zuo ren bu yao zuo dao ze me jue... h** y** b** y*** d*... Zi ji bao zong.

_____________________________________
Been talking about this for a bit of time le.. So this will be the last time i bring this up le.. Like a fren told me, "Everybody is different". I acknowledge the truth of that, and i accept it. So, i decided to chill, take it easy.. Zhe yang dui wo mei hao chu ah.. you she me hao qi de.. It's all nonsense ba.. Haha.. will get older even more easily.. =)

I have great friends who stand by me, and i wanna thank them... Here's a lovely rose for you all... A tribute to true friends!

Wen, Jean, c-----paula (hee...), Gigi, WW...

The one on the right is the constellation of the Libran zodiac!!! ^^

Horoscope today...

It will be extremely easy to feel in sync with everyone today -- you're in a solid phase of life, and each day you get more comfortable with who you are. To build on this momentum, simply keep floating. Don't try to push things a certain way ... your agendas don't matter right now. It's much better for you to let other people dictate the plans while you accept the path that's given to you. Sometimes yielding power itself can be empowering.

Partying tonight~!!

Yeah!!!

looking forward to meeting Kellyn & them all tml!!! ^^
