Marching Bands of Manhattan

I wish we could open our eyes,
to see in all directions at the same
Oh what a beautiful view,
if you were never aware of what was around you.

And it is true what you said,
That i live like a hermit in my own head.
But when the sun shines again,
i'll pull the curtains and blinds to let the light in.

Sorrow drips into your heart through a pin-hole
Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound
But while you debate half empty and half full
It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown.

Your love is gonna drown.

I've got a job!
Eh, but you said economy downturn, no one wants to hire you, Miss Tan?
Hmm...
:D
Like what i've also said...
If i'm da boss, i'll only hire someone in cases such as a pregnant mama on labour leave
or if i've clinched a new project and require another 1 to 2 workers to fill up the shortage.
I'm that lucky worker that filled up the shortage for my previous internship company.
Lucky me or lucky company? I would say, both.
Hahaha!
The boss was reeeeelly nice to have compromised with my requested schedule and salary expectations.
I'll be working part-time there till August!

Now now,
ppl who aint got a job yet and are reading this,
are you feeling a lil sour deep inside upon reading how lucky i got?
A nice boss, a perfect timing for a job opportunity like such to come by at bad times.
No no,
don't be envious just yet.
You ppl get to relax your butts to the max for now!
But then one day u receive your ideal job offer through jobstreet or jobscentral or whichever means,
You'll regret,
like i did.
No more freedom:(
Just running here n about--> photocopying stuff, counting stuff, filing stuff, wishing stuff.
Wishing whaaat? For time to ticketytockety fasterrrrrrrrrr! Knock off!! Woohoo!

One and a half month

What would you do with 1+1/2 months?
Play all you want? (Eat, dota, drink, dota, bathe, dota, toilet, dota and more monster killings!!)
Or
Work like a bull, turning yourself into a cash cow?(Money money, my beloved honey!)
Or
Fly to places you've always wanted to go. (Need a break, finally?)
Or
Study all u gotta, to pass the exams. (Mug, coffee, doze off, slap yourself and mug again.)
Or what else?

I've been slacking this past 1+1/2 month so bad, i'm feeling a little worse than guilty.
Household chores, surfing net, watching movies, hanging out with friends, driving lessons,
Teaching my sister homework(sometimes i was even forced to do her hmwk!), shopping with Mum!

BORING LIFE.
I wish i could work, but --->economic downturn.
Who would wanna engage someone to do Administrative stuff for 3 to 4 Months only?!
I wouldnt want to do that too, if i were a boss.
Train an employee to deal with company's admin stuff(training needed cos certain companies have different styles of having their paper work sorted. Some are even confidential!) and bid goodbye to her in a wink. Engage another worker and RE-train. Jeez! Unless it's urgent--pregnant mother on labour leave, shortage of workers due to new project/lobang received. I wouldnt wanna spend unneccessary effort and $$ in engaging an admin staff who could commit only this long.
Therefore, i'll file the documents, photocopy papers and fax stuff moiself! I'm still the boss, but during suay times, who cares!
Hahahaha!
Seee...now u know why i still do not have a stable job.

Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
That dumpty was me!
Utterly shameful.
Felt thousand pairs of eyes, watching how stupidly i fell.
It was so dramatic.
I climbed up the escalator and my slipper got tripped on one of the stairs somehow,
then i just fell forward, throwing the umbrella on my hand up to the air, which then landed a few steps before me. And no, i didnt just stand up gracefully to bend down again and pick up my umbrella.
i crawled forward to reach for my umbrella.
You know, like a ghost crawling on the escalator.
i must have been out of my wits.
Imagine the embarrassment i've felt after i jolted back to senses.
Face's thrown all over for people to step on.
SHAME SHAME was all i could think of,
and i didnt know why i exhaled a loud "OMG" after i fell.
TRIPLY SHAMED
Called my mother 20 mins after(time taken to jolt back to senses),
to whine about the dumb incident.
But she chided and laughed at me. Thanks for the comfort there.
Well i know, it does sounds funny, when i started piecing the facts slowly in my brain with calmness.
Thereafter, i messaged Shikin and Fang Qing to tell them abt what happened. Jeez.
Laughter's the best medicine for the pain i'm going through now.
Just laugh:"HAHAHA"===>Swollen legs will be fine. (i wish)

On a side note, i'm really glad that NTU accepted me into their EEE course.
They offered me a direct entry to 2nd year!
:)
But it's saddening to tell fang qing :(

@ The Astons with Ruo Yi :)

Yup, that's her, Miss Goh Ruo Yi.
Nearly a year since we'v last met.
Changes and fears of our lives were the main chatting topics of the whole night.
Indeed, we've grown up from young naive kiddos the us now. Matured a lot, i suppose and hope?
XOXO

Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady wedded late saturday, in Costa Rica!
Beautiful place, beautiful people.
For those who don't know whom they are,
Gisele is a top supermodel, my favourite idol too!
and Brady's an American football star, not my favourite one though. haha!
So i'll just put a pic of pretty gisele!:))

Fang Qing's brother (*Chen Ting's) 21st birthday!
But i only snapped the picture of the awfully tasty chocolate banana cake with my handphone.
Will get the pictures from Fang Qing when she's free to upload on her facebook!=)
For now, presenting the cake from 'awfully chocolate' :


YUMMMY!

The Wine Company at Dempsey!

Good food, wine and company.
First time i tried Germany Riesling(checked the spelling already)!
Enjoyable time spent with Alvin!
Atlas we did snap pictures!
Pretty unexpected that we've shared so much stuff about ourselves yesterday night.
Wondered if it's the wine, or just maturity in our relationship.
Anyhoo, i'm really really happy we've filled up each other on what's going on over the times we have not met for so long!
Sincerely wishing him all the luck in whichever area he lack of it! ;)

Souriez !

Bonjour! (to myself)

O'rightee,
I've finally got the chance to meet this busy bee, Mya on the 30th March!

Yeap, the one on my left!


Location:

Orchard Centrepoint's Starbucks!



Random Shots(Mya likes to camwhore!!!!) :

Okay, i don't know what's so nice about our feet either.
Pedicure? Hee!

Toast to our absolutely frank and everlasting friendship of 4years and still counting...

That's all for now,
i'll be meeting my godbro tomorrow night!
Hopefully we'll snap pictures?
I've not had a decent shot taken with him after knowing him for years!
Tsk
A'ight
Bonne nuit everyone!!

trust the theory and dump the man

Shocked when i heard that one of my friend,
actually got attached recently.
wondering why i was shocked that she got attached?
Because we share a common and weird theory of liking/loving someone(opposite sex of course)

Here's my theory: I love chasing the love that eludes me.

The male party kept it tucked away,
like papers in a briefcase.
And I kept trying to get in there.
It'll be a colossal waste of time and effort if the love aint reciprocated.
But i can't help it.
As said, i love chasing the love that eludes me.
Queer and heartbreaking isnt it?
It's like pulling triggers back on yourself.
Giving oneself unneccessary pain and problems.

Yet there can be gay occasions.
Exhilarating to know that your secret crush for the other party is mutual too.

Having your love reciprocated is like the best thing ever that can happen to you.

You felt like all your efforts, faith and time had paid off.
However, since the crush(deemed as an aim by my weird theory) has been achieved.

There is no point in doing anything anymore.
Because it's a cycle!
The cycle of chasing the love that eludes me.
And this goes on and on..... .... .....
This is why i get myself into a heart-wrenching point whereby
i lose the ones i had once loved and loved me because i lose my love too easily.
I don't treasure things that i have. (Regarding guys only, not friendship or anything else.)

I guess this theory of mine is hard for others to understand unless they had been in the same situation too.

Outsiders might just look at it that i deserve it.
But really, I cant help it : |
I wish i could just stick to one love and be faithful to him throughout.
Perhaps the only guy i would be faithful always is the one that plays hard to get even if we're in a relationship already.
The harder it is for me to keep his heart, the more i would like to try to!
This makes it challenging to me and i'll just stick to him, stick to chasing the love that eludes me:)
Perhaps huh?

Driving lesson's tomorrow.
What to do,
What do i do,
What should i do!
Ants climbing all over my head!
Tell me i'm STRESSED only cause my cupboard mess aint de-cluttered yet.

Confessions of a Shopperholic.
Hella funny and touching show.
Not as bimboistic a show as i thought it would be. (is bimboistic even a good description?)
Catch it if you can:)


i should de-clutter the mess inside my cupboard,
my clothes,
they WERE folded and stacked neatly,
AWHILE.
And they somehow resume to the
messy shorts, shirts,sleepwear overlaying here n there,
Now everywhere's a mess.
I HATE MESS.
Why?
Simply cause MESS=STRESS
:L

Chingay @ AMK 2009!

Hella Fun!
