Hope to watch the SATC movie soon, and guess what, i haven't even watched the first! Meanwhile, here's a funny clip of a melodramatic fight between Carrie & her bf Aidan who's moving into her apartment.
Of shoes & wardrobe & living space - men just don't understand
These aren't that important to me but i'm sure there's an element of that in every woman.

One less wisdom and thoughts about networking
Glad to be able to have some time to write again, there's so much to update!
Just last week, I have been one tooth down after removing a wisdom tooth via normal extraction. It was a fairly simple and painless yet scary process. My gentle dentist was commendable, very patient and reassuring throughout. An x-ray was taken of my molars and a quick assessment was done - i can extract the offending tooth that was poking my cheeks normally. He then applied some sweet numbing cream and then put something into my mouth, it was the LA injection but he was so slow and calm that I felt no pain, almost nothing.
The only thought on my mind was soaring on eagle's wings with the strength of the Lord.
In less than a minute, the tool was in my mouth and he gently (or not i have no idea because it was numbed) twisted it a little bit. I could hear some tearing sound and although I can't feel anything, my imagination freaked me out but 3-4 twists later it was off. A blood clotting collagen thing was placed in the hole and I had to bite on a gauze for 20 minutes. After which the bleeding was very minimal.....and I could eat again! :) No pain, just the scary but painless tearing sound.
About this world marketing conference networking event I went for a big local airline client (you can guess easily) at Clifford Pier today, it wasn't too bad in the end. I dreaded going and rubbing shoulders with people i don't know and are probably not interested in you but after being there, it was actually a good experience in meeting people from the industry. I guess they're not as versed or comfortable there..
And tip number two. Drink some wine. After which, laughter and conversation will ensue. :)
Here's some souvenir pictures taken at the event with the EVP Marketing and some senior management and industry peers..
And survive indeed. It makes us stronger. So never stop believing in the possibilities, give it a go if you have some heart for it. (Anna, go go go! I'm behind you :) )
I think if we ever stop growing or lost the desire to grow, life will generally feel like a ride downhill. There are still so many things i wish i am doing more of and one that i've always lament about is my lack of exercise. Sheesh, and learning to drive, and dance!. :(
I digress but yea, I am quite happy right where I am now. There are opportunities to travel, to meet people and be in a somewhat creative environment, independence to some level at what i am doing. Empowerment to make crucial decisions is so important to our morale. So yea, happiness.
PS: Wait till the down period and I'll be back to complaining.

Regarding my job, I know i've always been complaining but currently, I think it is going very well. Some new developmental opportunities means I am more challenged to grow and to develop.. while problems gives me a chance to learn rapidly and come up with solutions. From these experiences, it forces you to grow. Being thrown in hot fire too, means you can either choose to sink or to find whatever way it is to survive.And survive indeed. It makes us stronger. So never stop believing in the possibilities, give it a go if you have some heart for it. (Anna, go go go! I'm behind you :) )

Sick today
I realise many a times when I actually write something, it is always linked to something/someone close, and it seems to suggest that i've been unhappy in my relationship when in actuality, it is not true. Just that as humans, we remember mistakes and mis-givings more so than the good and joyful things to be thankful for.
Even being sick is a good thing sometimes, like I get a day off from work :) More chance to sleep and to rest and perhaps pack for Australia tonight.
Gosh, the trip is 3 days away!!! I still cannot believe it but so true. I'll be gone to Melbourne & Sydney for 1.5 weeks.
Will my work email be flooded and mailbox limit exceeded?
Anyway, I digress. The whole point of writing today is to thank God for providing such a wonderful, godly boyfriend for me. We both thought about the incident, both prayed and when he came over, we started with an opening prayer..went through some bumps but at the end of it... thankful, joyful, and full of hugs! :)
PS: He did wait for me downstairs for 2 hours that night. When i was fast asleep because I didn't believe he'll come. The amazing thing is that even despite that, it was a good thing it happened because it allowed time for God to speak to his heart.
Love,
Eva

unHappiness!!
Hmph. I feel so hopping mad today. It's horribly strangling-ly hot and heaty today. Maybe it was the three slices of peanut butter & floss toast I had for lunch.
But i'm totally unhappy as I speak (write). A says that maybe I feel neglected, and yeah maybe there's reason. His friends are always so important to him and though i can understand it, i think that's a bit too much. He's always meeting them somehow. and what if not wanting to live far away from his network of friends?? ...
How many times does he meet me a week? i don't think i am that important really. and neither will you be if it is this way, doublefold.
Whatever. And we don't have much common interests. He's the gym-goer. I am the spontaneous nature-seeker. Music, dance, culture, quiet walks that are not planned but totally spontaneous. Dancing by the beach, feeling the wind in your air as you run/drive past a long stretch of tall trees..... i hate being a hamster on the treadmill.
He's rational and I am irrational. Logic vs emotions. Inflexible vs temperamental changeling.
I am very unhappy as I write, and I need to write cos I am still hopping mad at why this happens to me. Why doesn't he understand? Why can't he be gentler, more understanding and try to accommodate me? Stupid damn logical always-right words.
so what, i am still reeling with unhappiness.
don't tell me i always take things for granted, to you there's no honeymoon, no concessions. why can't you behave normally like people who've just fallen in love and do silly sickeningly sweet things for their partners? always so guarded, rational *and *@@# i am using rational again, explains what a clueless blockhead you are* it's hard to find fault with you, yet that's the reason for why i am feeling this way.
blah. to give you some credit, you can be incredibly wonderful or incredulously -----------------. don't even have a word for it.
though i thank God for him, i am still very very much hopping mad at everything, at myself, at my life.

mimmolette friday
Had to entertain a client last night so we went to mimmolette at Bukit Timah for late night drinks, reached home at 4am. It's a invite-only party at La Maison so it is necessary to RSVP earlier and register your names.
But I think it was only so-so.
The place and surroundings is nice, love the lights that resemble stars sprawled over the tall trees surrounding this little establishment. I think it was someone's mansion converted to this beautiful Hampton style meets luxury decadence restaurant/cafe/bar at different times of the day.
Here's a picture montage I made from what they provide from the website. I like this style of home decor very much, it has a very clean yet luxurious look that symbolizes modernity and yet feels somewhat aristocratic. I like it quite somewhat and will consider this style in future.
And.. Kenneth came to pick me up and send my colleague and me home :D He couldn't sleep until 4am too.. was quite happy to see him because honestly, these night spots feel empty when it's not with people who matters.
I'll choose brunch or a quiet meal over this anytime. At least you hear what people are saying.
