christmas

Christmas has lost some meaning to me. I don't know why!! i used to love christmas times.. the shopping... the caroling.. the lights out at orchard road.. the rainy wet and cold weather... the christmas songs aired on the radio... but... i lost the feeling... i guess a long time ago. Maybe its cos there's no more a tree at home anymore...
I didn't even try try getting them back!!! i didn't even try.. but as i was cooking for my family on christmas day.. and when i felt the chilly cold wind while setting the table for dinner... i felt it again.. a tinge of it.. but it disappeared as suddenly as it came.. hmmm.. i don't know why!!
my twice-baked potato was a lil sub standard.. but i guess dad enjoyed it... i guess..
went to watch bedtime stories with my sister after dinner that day.. the journey to The Cathay was fun... the bus we caught had to do a detour as orchard road was blocked.. Thankfully.. it got us to where we wanted to go... I wasn't feeling too good after we got there... It my be due to the bus ride...
But sis got me a bottle of orange juice i felt better after that...
the show was really funnie... don't we just love Adam Sandlar... haha..
We settled down at TCC for supper.. she talked i listened.. i talked she listened..We heard skatebaords from a far and she saw some friends... i tot we saw him... but i guess not.. its good that we didn't... I didn't know it was so difficult to forget a person... Wait.. its not that i didn't know.. its just that i've forgotten... Humans are really absent-minded creatures... We forget easily.. but the process to forgetting is hard... My sis is still in the process. She broke down.. i knew exactly how she felt... after reading her blog... i remembered even more vividly... Its like having someone u love torn away from you.. its difficult.. it has always been!!!
We went home late... i actually enjoyed myself... i loved every minute of it...
i really did!!!

I'm sick ... again

Today was ok. I slept at around midnight last night and woke up at about 2... feeling very parched. Went to the kitchen to get me a drink. Couldn't sleep that ... so i watched like an episode of my fav hk drama of the moment.
Took me a long time to fall back asleep.
Woke up at around noon. dad and mum bought lunch back.. Couldn't really taste anything... my mouth feels like sandpaper... shit...
went to work and got to the office at around 3pm... worked my butt off till about 9pm...
took a train back to yishun. My bag was so heavy.. i thought i was gonna dislocate my shoulder..
He's sick too... i think his condition is worse... bought dinner for him but i didn't feel like eating anything.. and as of now.. i'm still not hungry...
My mouth still feels like sandpaper... even after brushing my teeth...
Just took my medication... waiting for the drowsy effect to set it...
Hope that both of us will feel better tmr!!

The one about books

I bought 2 books from MPH this week.
Its farnie... I didn't know that i was so out of touched with this world until i bought the latest copy of 8 days magazine. I haven't bought a copy in like the longest time. I'm so busy nowadays i don't even have time to read through it. The only time I have to spare is when i'm sitting on the toilet blow to glance at some of the pictures from my mum's copy.

My sister mentioned that there was a new vampire movie coming up and its called twilight. Comparable to Harry Potter she says. Incidentally, i saw a whole write up about Twilght on 8 days. Being the huge harry potter fan that i am, all mystical and hocus -sy and pocus-sy and all... i've decided then and there that i should buy Twilight and read it. So.. i got it the next day... I have a huge and long story to tell you guys about my episode at mph... but the medication i'm taking is making me really sleepy and i can't really type straight anymore.. so till next time.

P/s the 2nd book which i've bought that very afternoon was Neil Humphrey's Omnibus edition of tales from an even smaller island..
That... is another story for another day... haha

I think i'm a shoe whore

I bought shoes again... its never enough... Look at them... can u resist?

The last day of my long weekend

SIghz.. time flies. Gotta work tmr again... hmmmz....
Last night went to raffles city for dinner with my family. Me sis was working there till 8 last night. Checked out the new mac book. It is so lovely. The mac people have adopted the iphone technology and have implemented it on the mac. The whole scroll pad is touch sensitive. so... no more click click click... I"m so in love with it.. but its so expensive.. I will have to re-consider in these times..
Pris called me last night.. I was so happy to hear her voice.. she's finally back..and she told me that she has gotten the amulet that i've asked for.. SO HAPPY!!!!! I shall keep it in my wallet everyday...
I couldn't sleep again last night... So i caught the recorded episodes of Little Nonya... found a can of Stella Atois and downed it... and fell asleep.
I woke up with blurred vision in my left eye.. terrible..i had pressed my Left eye too hard on the pillow... sighz....
Its raining... Check this picture out...this was taken from my room window.. together with an application i've downloaded on my iphone.....vintage..doesn't it give u a rustic feel

woke up at 3pm

Sighz... can't do it... got caught by him at 0600.. He seriously doesn't understand why i don't want to sleep. Am very hungry now... maybe i should wait till dinner time before eating...
Hmmz... i shall make this a part of my diet plan. tahahaha

Broadband on mobile

Oh.. i forgot to mention... I got the Broadband on mobile.. That's the reason why i have net access in Yishun..its actually quite fast.. but the unlimited package is not available for Singtel.. So i can't really exceed the 5GB amount that they've offered.. No harm done... I just have to make sure that i don't do unnecessary downloads..then i should be fine.

Time to blog

Its 4 in the morning and i'm sitting on my bed in Yishun. Can't really sleep. Anywayz.. i'm proud to say.. that despite being at the age of 26.. i still do agreed with my then 20-year-old self that sleeping is really a freaking waste of time.
Haven't blogged in quite awhile. Think it would be good if i can make it into a habit again. Suddenly have the urge to blog again. So many things to mention and write about that i don't know where to start. I shall categorize for clarity purposes.

WORK
I've been so busy.. i don't even have time to breathe. Just emails alone can really kill me. Its been good though... gives me a high and a sense of satisfaction.
Things could be at lot more exciting though... cos Tommy is not in Singapore. If he was in Singapore, i'll probably have a more exciting after office life. Pris is coming back from Japan today. I think she has already touched down. WIll probably call her soon to catch up. Hope she has gotten the japanese amulet for me. I've always wanted one of those.

LOVE
Love's been great. He has changed alot for me. I was pleasantly surprised that he is reconsidering his trip to Dongguan. I knew that he had wanted to visit Ah Kee for a very long time. I've always thought that he was juggling with the idea cos our other SG friends have decided to not go ahead with it. What with the economic crisis and job constraints and all. But knowing him... which i do... he would have probably gone anyway. But one night as he was lying on the bed awake at night... he told me that he didn't want to go coz he was afraid that he would be out of a job when he comes back... and that he wouldn't want me to be the only one that was going to be working.. (just like early this year). I was really touched... and this made me feel loved. My man is a man of few words. He shows his love for me this way.. No words just seemingly small actions.. which sometimes.. if you ask me... are a tad bit difficult to catch.
However.. i would think I've upset him a little in recent times.. I've become very intolerable and even to the point of being quite inconsiderate. I do admit for a fact that i haven't been spending as much time with him as i would have in the past. Sometimes.. i ask myself why. I still don't know the answer.
Maybe i've been spending to much time with Pris and gang... I've also been playing alot of mahjong with Marge and gang over the weekends.. So even though i've been having overnighters at Yishun for most parts of the weekend.. We dont' get to see each other much.. except during bedtimes.
I think what really shook me was when he said that I was treating our room as if it was a hotel room. I'll play mj and sleep and the next day.. i'll wake up to play mj again. And you know how it is with me.. i can't bear to sleep at night and I'll only end up sleeping in the wee hours of the morning causing me to only wake up in the afternoon. I didn't know this upsets him so much until today.
He has this habit of waking up very early in the morning and will not be able to fall back to sleep again. He doesn't wake me up cos he can't bear and he knows that sleep is very important to me on weekends. So he lazes around on his own till I wake up and spend time with him. This is really bad and for this i have to change. Even right now.. i'm trying not to fall asleep so that he can see me awake when he wakes up later...
This is the least i can do.. i guess.

ONGOINGS FOR THE PAST WEEK
Like i said.. i didn't do much for the past week. I should really start to blog more frequently.. so that i don't have these unnecessarily long entries again.
I didn't do much on Monday. I went home early to have dinner with my parents.. But my mum went out and didn't come home till way past dinner time. i had dinner with my dad alone.. and after that i had a huge laugh with my mum and sis over daddy.
That was cute.
On Tuesday ... me and my dept peeps went to Shyokudo at Raffles City for dinner.. Hoon soh joined us.. it was so fun.. i laughed till i was on the verge of crying.. Hoon Soh is quite the cute character.. So is KC ... he can really crack some really lame jokes. It just doesn't seem like the usual him coz he is always so quiet in the office.
Wednesday.. me and ah looi and small looi went to No signboard at geylang to get some crab... Haven't hung out with her for like the longest time. It was good to catch up.. jus like old times.. and it wasn't awkward as i initially thought it would be.
Thursday was hanging out with him and his friends.. This time.. i brought along adele as she has been asking me out for this whole week already.. Even though it was only at 848... i'm glad she enjoyed our company.
Received an SMS from a very dear old friend of mine, Keng Hsin... He was listening to my Christmas CD compilation and suddenly thought of me.. GOSH... its been 5 years.. This kinda reminded me about lian and my 2 other gers.. Sometimes.. i really do miss them.. But i must admit that it was partly my fault that we have become the way we are now in terms of this friendship.. But anyway... i guess its for the best.. I hope..
Friday... i played mahjong at marge's place while he was out with his friends drinking.. and Sat.. mahjong again..same old same old.. i lost $60 in total..sighsz.. nevermind... will get marge to buy me fish head curry on tuesday.
Tommy called me today.. i was very surprised.. Its good to hear from him..and i wish he'll hurry home soon.. Life in office is so darn bored without him..hahaha...

That's bout it for now.. Till my next entry..TATA
