*floating*

felt like i've been floating nowhere... finally complete reading Everything is illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer. i watched the movie before reading the novel itself. thought i would have a better picture of the story but it was more complex and confusing. today's my off day and somehow i would rather work. it is not as though i have no one to hang out with but more of i don't know who to chill with. i woke up really late, around 1430 feeling vexed. i don't like not planning my day ahead. i wondered should i go shopping with friends, meet another for dinner, go for cell group meeting, go library alone and be engross reading or conveniently stay at home etc... i made my decision and sent an sms. and even so, i felt like it was not what i really wanna do but i guess i get an off on friday for reason(s). was suddenly reminded of me being in the pub with my colleagues. i wanted to leave early as i don't fancy singing ktv chinese songs which sounded alien to me, not in the mood for poker, tiger's not my mug of alcohol and chatting seemed much more energy consuming with noise all around. my manager persuaded me with lots of joking but i remained persistent. eventually, he said to me and others, "rang ta zhou ba." i felt like an unwilling hand has just set me free... why do i mention this? well, as i think back... i normally get my way. if i don't, i get frustrated. yes, people would try to stop me but when they stop trying to stop me, mostly abruptly, i would feel empty and a tinge of sorrow.

i don't usually say it but i feel lonely. i feel lonely because though i think my life is in order, i feel that i lack something. i know i'm starting to sound a little needy. i don't care. what i really want now is to be settled with my soul mate. plan our lives together, have children, be happy, that's it. i wanna be a woman with career and a part-time tai tai. i'm sounding so blunt.

was reminded of a debate in which the other party argued that women are only good for producing babies. i fought with my strong opinions. i won't deny that men are generally cleverer (which was proven by science) but there are so many things which female are more capable of. saying this i don't mean that men are not capable in certain areas but score lower.

met up with my best friend on 2 days this week. felt like i am usually the one who fails her. mooncake festival's coming. it's the occasion for she and i. yeah!

christmas is about 3 months away. i'm starting to think about the festival again. christmas is the season of the year for me. i have always look forward to it. it is THE season i wanna spend with my special someone. it has been 20 years now. i have NEVER spend it with a significant someone. i'm dying to spend it with a someone special. i wonder what has gotten into me. i'm so frank.

rounding up my entry, i'm not desperately looking for the special someone (hope he just spring out) but i guess this year's christmas would be similar to the past 20 years. you know what? it's not so bad after all... with family and friends around you. just a self-pitying me wishing for more. just a little more love. ;p

Honouring Mr Lee Kuan Yew

23 Mar 2015: While getting ready for work, Nat told me that Mr Lee Kuan Yew has passed on. I didn't expect the multitude of sadness that followed. Found out that Prime Minister Mr Lee Hsien Loong would be addressing Singaporeans on his father's death at 8am and my heart went out to him. As I was watching his address, I am reminded that no matter who he is, he is still his father's son. When I see the profile and cover pictures of many of my friends changed into mono colours, I see unity and appreciation. By human standards perhaps we may debate about whether he is a good leader, but I believe he was called to serve with the others when Singapore really needed one. RIP Mr Lee Kuan Yew.

Stubbles + Dreadlocks = My Kinda Guy as at 21st Dec '09 I guess this statement is pretty true. It took me about 3-4 years to decide to tell him that I still love him... Telling him was just to let him know my feelings towards him... Months later we got together, it felt strange because I thought fate has departed from us. Destiny must have heard my cry and let me have a second go at this love. Unfortunately, now we're once again apart from each other. Sometimes I felt that I held on to the memories with him so tight because he was my first love. Many times I have thought myself to be a fool and felt that things have been a little unfair. He was my dream guy and I don't think I was ever his dream girl. After all, I was not his first love. Moreover, I don't have much to offer. Day after day, I watch memories play over my brain's eye, uncertain to feel remorseful or to tell myself to move on... Yeap, I know it has been a while now. God just help me. Pam Petite

A Fall

Dear Blog, I just had a fall while running in my flat-heeled office shoes. I didn't feel embarrassed dropping flat on the floor. Instead, I felt a growing pain from both my knees. My brain signaled for my legs to walk and soon I reached my destination with blood-crying knees. Why was I so careless? Was browsing through my past entries, time has passed and well, a lot more to improve on in my life. Occasionally, I wish to say, be contented. However, I can't. Because it simply is not good enough. I guess, that's what a twenty something should be contemplating. After all, only about a quarter of our lives is gone. Had been playing RISK board game with my honey on 2 consecutive Sundays. This game taught me a couple of lessons:- (a) Nobody is declared the winner unless the game ceases, by either party surrendering or by conquering the lands of your opponent; (b) Even if you are losing huge armies, it doesn't mean you are the loser; (small can fight big) (c) Take it easy! I...
