Crazy day but so awesome

Today was just mad. I had a really hectic day but everything worked out fine and it was simply... awesome. I really enjoyed my friends' company.

Cycled at ECP with YZ and PL in the morning. I love the sea breeze and the feel of wind on my face, the only gripe was the rather harsh sun at 10am. Despite my SPF 50, i got a bit burnt in the 2hrs of cycling.

Nice huh?

More views from Bedok Jetty

I think Bedok Jetty is solar powered, that's the evidence!

It was Dim Sum Buffet at Tung Lok after with my geog friends from uni. Great bunch of people, i love big groups and we're all seated around a round table just chattering and enjoying the food. Went for karaoke at this super cheap place ($2/person 3 hrs) at Katong and i sang lots of songs and heard my friends too.


Harry Potter movie with JAE at night, huddled together in the cold cinema..and now i am back home. Finally. :)

I missed him. And i know it's strange, but i'm just always reminded of him. Somehow.

Travelling (Quoted)

"The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page." - St Augustine

Amazingly put. And notice the word is 'travel' not 'tour'.

My knowledge of the world is paltry. I endeavor to explore this book a little at a time, but i know when my time ends, the book will still remain unfinished.

In spite of that, i hope that my book of memories will be filled with the most beautiful, most touching and most interesting revelations of people, of Nature, of culture and strange places. And most of all, of Love.

It's strange, I woke up this morning feeling that it is so... right.

A cool ride, an interesting encounter and a nice dinner

Yesterday, i went to S.A Church for its evening service because i woke up late for my own church. I met a person P who sat next to me in the middle of service. I shared the hymn book with P as i saw that P doesn't have it. We started talking and so on, i replied out of politeness really. P was touched by my small act (it was really nothing, we do it a lot in my church) and asked me out for coffee. We did have one eventually because i had some time before meeting a friend for dinner.

P is an associate director at a HUGE acc MNC.

Dinner was at Kenny Rogers because i was craving madly for the yummy grilled chicken, their famous corn muffins and chomping on corn nibblets and coleslaw. It makes me madly happy - am i just easy to please or what? but good food makes me happy. A gave me a ride home in A's swanky cool car - a T Roadster MR-S or 2 (i am guessing this up because i did not directly ask A, but i saw the brand and asked for the 'type'.)

It looks like this.


It's close to the road, looks and feel like a sports car (it is one) , great for speeding and for curvy roads. It was a cool experience man! But climbing out of it feels a bit strange because it's so low, not so good for skirt wearing people.

And today, we had dinner. :D Actually i think he looks kinda good in short hair. Honestly.

Supper and Shakespeare

Last night, i went to Changi Village on a late night for the first time. After midnight, the trannies are out in full blaze by the carpark in scanty attire and their impossibly long skinny legs and humongous ___ while cars are slowly driving past them with the drivers taking their time in this late night 'shopping' business.

I was completely like flabbergasted or something. These trans are pretty, yes but kind of in a trashy way. Opps. There was this one with a see through black dress and black whatever inside. Some in a small tee and ultra mini skirts and super high heels. Just. many. And they wave at the drivers, smiling and flirting.

I wonder what they thought when they saw me in the car. But they were definitely exhibits to me.

Some near distance away there is a yellow van with 2 Singaporean looking young men smoking outside and they seem to be surveying the area. Pimps? Yea man, they do look like young Singapore chinese men who are in their mid 20s-30s.

I was there slightly after 1.30am. It was a bit uncomfortable to see 'wo-men' on blatant display and the number of cars that breeze by them while they get into the car. And i was wondering what was in his mind.

When we left 2 hours later, the action had died down by some degree and i could see some sort of row call with 'girls' and pimps lining together. But Mr-Miss See-through-black-dress and 'her' cronies are stretching themselves by 2 black cars facing the road and apparently still looking for (more) buyers.

On a side note, it was really really nice to be with him. We had some supper and drinks, and walked along the beach to observe people fishing and so on.

There was no breeze that night. But the sky had a nice reddish tone, no moon in sight.

That aside, i'm going for a Shakespeare play next weekend, but not with him.

Sigh. Why did i agree? Now i feel bad towards the person who asked me. But it'll be fun i suppose, trying out something new by watching Shakespeare, and i probably will enjoy myself.

PS: My hair is officially more Asian now - it's a Dark Brown Black. I LIKE IT :D

2 days of work

After two days of work, i am super tired. Lots to learn and absorb, and even after the learning is done, i'll have to be self-motivated and disciplined as well as highly creative and able to understand what my boss wants. The good thing is the exposure and learning i will have and undergo which will be very useful for my career if i perform well. :)

Too much to learn and i am so so tired now.

Sunday

Sunday has been good so far, spent my morning handling the kids but naughty as they are, i do care alot for their spiritual life. They are cheeky and such a handful, but so innocent and their little souls are reaching out to God. :) That is what motivates me all the time.

Going to be summoned by my dearest gfs (Jolly n Anna) to the gym :( boo hoos, i'm such a pack of lazy bones especially on a lazy rainy Sunday.

I should start thinking of my financial goals and start saving up on them. Such as for braces (still wondering if i should do it), for my driving lessons, for my future home and for marriage. And tiny luxuries once in a while.

I don't know if i have met the person God have meant for me, i really hope he exists..and i really really want to meet him. Maybe...

But right now I am really happy. I really enjoy being with him and talking to him. I love how his eyes dazzle when he speaks to me. And I am kind of missing him already. Am I crazy or what? As usual, this is me. Full of dreams and ideals and imagination that can be really random and impossible.

Work will start tomorrow, i pray really hard that God will be with me. I am excited yet also scared. If i have a 1-2 weeks break before work actually start, what should i do? An overseas vacation is out of question and i really don't know. The future is so uncertain, and i am secretly afraid of difficult people and clients to deal with.

Reflections and Blessings

I feel really, truly blessed.

With a family who loves each other (although sometimes the communication may not be so often such as with brother) and family who loves and cares for me. I only honestly feel it when I am in cast and crutches, with the broken knee. Dad will tapao food for me from nice places (hawker food, economical food but so so good), send me to the mrt or my interview locations and my hospital appointments. Mum will as usual ask me to eat this supplement and that supplement and also tapao food for me making sure i won't be hungry, help me set up my 'bathing' stuff when i was in crutches - chairs, plastic bags, tapes etc. Sis also helps to take this and that, and even tie my shoe laces when i couldn't bend down... while brother will ask after me in his own way.

My extended family is really lovely too. Grandma and aunts bring food for me even when i ask them not to when my family went for a holiday. I even get a body care set and one month's supply of delicious collagen drinks frm my Aunt. :)

As for school, i have graduated and although i didn't manage to jump a class, it is okay because i am happy and i enjoyed my final semester. I have also found a job i think i will enjoy and grow well in, after weeks of feeling demoralized and unsure because i wasn't called often for interviews and my injured leg 'traps' me at home. Was feeling mediocre and lost, unsure of what i have and what i can contribute to the world. I almost signed the contract to be a teacher too, and luckily i did not.

I am blessed to meet him . I won't have gotten this job without him, without his encouragement, without his sharing of his experience, without his prayers, without our nightly (almost) chats. I feel truly blessed to have met him and i know it is all part of God's plans. God sends angels when we are down, never doubt that. As long as we believe, as long as our hearts lean towards Him, humbling ourselves in His presence. The power of prayer is strong indeed! And the power of faith.

He said that maybe God arranged for us to 'meet' for getting me this job. I felt a bit sad to hear that...because i hope it is not only that. We'll see... i guess time will tell.

Besides that, i am VERY THANKFUL for my girlfriends - my JADE girls. Anna who visits and teaches me piano and keeps me company, and Joy who visits and brings food and calls me with her exciting news. Debbie who is far away but we feel very close when we're together again. They are my truest friends indeed!

And i'm thankful for Jocelyn who visited me when i was injured. And for friends who are always helping me and always looking out for me, such as YIA lending me his mkting books, Bastian for talking to me when i'm bored, Jasper for always being such a kind and patient friend/brother and buying me lovely gifts to cheer me up...and W kor who always spoils me with nice presents and treats. :)

I hope that i will always feel this blessed even when times are tough. Because you know what? My injured leg is a blessing indeed.

Love, principessa
