every morning, i hear the same djs giving similar updates on the traffic. it's always that few highway exits and traffic is slow almost everywhere. some day, we will have ERP gantry right outside our car parks.

getting used to the routine of sleeping on bus and squeezing into the train then taking a 20mins walk to my office. occasionally, sh will be there to accompany me through the longlong stroll.

im fortunate to find a job that i dun detest though i m yet to be confirmed. hopefully, everything will just continue as it is.. and i will be 55 before i know it. =X

past week was fun and exciting. the week seemed really short and time was flying away from me. getting used to being kaboom by the RM for unreasonable requests and avoiding responsibilities. i need to be smart. CMA.

------

met up with the girls on fri. nice feast accompanied with random updates and hl vs ali squabbling. rushed off after the dinner for my facial. pimples popping out everywhere =(
and almost everyone is telling me that i've gained quite a lot. i need to get rid of those unsightly flesh!!!!

sh came down specially to meet me after the 1 hour relaxation. so sweet of you!

met joce and the other crappy ppl on SAT. okie, im one of them too. hadnt met them for months... and its so nice to see each other again. no serious conversations. just lame jokes and lamer responses that you can nv get enuff of.

Ignorance is my new best fren.

buddy is back from her long break. help is back when i need becoz i have been relying on the other 2 for the past 2weeks. nov is going to be great. we have the career fair, volunteer program and movie treats, which means i can knock off earlier than usual. hahahz.. it just makes time pass even faster.

------

twotwo is coming real soon. it has been an awesome 21. im just so blessed. i have everything that i can ever wish for. god's been treating me really well and im not going to let it slip away. im not going to let my bad habits ruin everything.

you told me that nobody is perfect and beneath that imperfection lies a heart that is true. =)

*i need to lose 5pounds, really.

i noticed i have been using "How time flies." in almost every post.
well, it really did.

i always start my Monday blues on sunday night and by the end of monday, i will be so looking forward for weekend. it's not that i m dreading work, i just can't wait for weekends to come.

workload is terribly little during the mid-month and i m falling aslp more often. i got to chiongchiongchiong nx week!!

------

catch up with the girls last week. its been a llllooonnnggg time.
i will be less busy from nx week onwards. freeing up more than 7hours over the weekends. although i have nth much to do.. the thought of having another 7hours more to nua sounds like paradise~ oohhhh.. i cant wait!

weeks flew past just like that. im all by myself for almost 2weeks, at work i mean. after chris left, i had a difficult time picking up from where she had stopped. there are many things to clean up and start afresh.. missing dox, non-standard procedures and all other kinds of problems slowly surfacing everyday. i think the RMs must have hated me alot.

there are so many terminology to learn and memorize.. the sponge is getting a little saturated.

------

sh has been really nice. accompanying me during the first few days when i had a tough time getting thru the transition period. all the encouragement and support - i can never thank you enough. =)

i always have the mixed feelings when weekends is nearing. i will hae more time with sh but it also means MONDAY is coming soon. time is soso precious now.

------

celebrated jing's 22nd at some hotel where we had our EARLY lunch buffet. its really difficult to get all of us to meet that early.. unless theres a special occasion to it. a special request from a special someone. even hl also got no say to it. hahaahz...

to my forever sweetsweet girl, relax your expectations for guys la.... SEEYOU soon!

We were young when i first met you..

trying to get used to MY JOB. the people, the environment - i already know.
wat i need to understand is - MY JOB.

im like a sponge, absorbing watever i can at the moment. everyday is a new challenge. i have no problem getting up early, squeezing my way to get on the train and staying awake throughout the day. the problem is - myself. i need to know everyting abt the job asap. i m starting to understand a little more of the job scope as the days go by.. but theres stil some self doubt. some qualms. i dunoe if im really up to it. if ever there's a slight blunder, their heads will roll.

no slip-ups. no mix-up. i need to be clear and alert, coz this is no joke.

------

a week just zzziippp by and i really hope it could slow down. im in no rush to replace chris coz i really have a lot more to learn from her. but i always love weekends to come faster. hahahaz.. just so i can meet my sh. and just so fortuitously, it happens to be a long weekend~ wat a good way to start my second week of work. BUT on hindsight, one day lesser to prepare myself for THE JOB.

okie, everyting abt my life is abt the work now. tuition will just go on as usual, hotdates must happen as usual and for the nua-ing... i tink i just hae to wake up earlier to nua over the weekends. i cant possibly waste my time like tat anymore.

------

met up with nise on wed for a free movie at marina square. i will knock off early while i still can afford to. went for a jog with sh ard the reservoir this morning. i cant remember when was the last time i'd ran this much, although it wasnt a great deal but it's really more than usual coz usually.. i dont run.

i like times like this. when there's no agenda, no worries. just let it happen as we go.. sometimes we dun hae to say a word. we just sway there, like, oh, i dun know like wat, like nothing most people ever get to experience, i guess. =)

Love isnt just about compromising.

It is muchmuchmuch more.

HA! im actually feeling sad becoz im going to stop teaching xw. i wont deny that she has almost become a part of my life. the time i spent talking to her is definitely more than the time i spent seeing my father. but teaching her is too draining.. i cant afford spending my good old weekends with her. last 3 lessons to go~

------

i was late for the meet&greet session this morning. i was panicking throughout the whole journey, not knowing who to inform or how to get there asap. i walked into the room 20mins late, interrupted the presentation and ended up going through the information i had already read through the night before. it ended 30mins earlier than expected and i was home before i knew it. i think i spent more time travelling to and fro.... =(

i need to kill tat bug inside of me. tat "LATENESS" bug. i tink jia just passed it to me and tats why she has been early these few days. you will never expect miracle to happen so frequently, really.

Just the thought of you can drive me wild

good things never stopped coming and im grateful for that. it has been an awesome 21 for me. even though the year didnt start off with a big bang, it just got better and better as the months go by. everything just fall into place one by one, piece by piece. i didnt know life could be so great and i would never imagine myself to have everything tat i can ever hope for. i always say that hard work will pay off, someday, somehow and it really did. i didnt live in vain.

sometimes you will hae to go thru some hardship to learn to realise the goodness you hae around you. the things/people taken away from you, the obstacles you hae to overcome, the change in environment that changes you. there can be many possibilities but only one way to go - face it. everything you loved can be taken away from you but you wouldnt die. you just pick your head up and stare at something beautiful like the sky or the ocean and you move the hell on. dont let these obstacles stop you becoz you know you deserve better.

sometimes we just think we've seen it all. the beauty around us, the nature, the sky, the people passing by. they are so near yet we often never remember to stop and look. we think we know them all by heart but actually we forget. it's so easy to forget the things around you. the colour of your staircase. the numbers on the pillars. the person who is always standing at the exact same spot at 2 in the afternoon.

dont ever let greed govern your life. take it slow 'coz you only get to live once.

One today is worth two tomorrows.

im busy with the same old things. took up a new tuition assignment, going for my monthly facial and weekly hotdates.

met up with the girlsof4D for dinner and then to the Night safari yeste. attended jiaying's convoc on fri, was hired on thurs and the rest was history. hahahaz..

i was anxiously waiting for the call for 2weeks after Linda gave me a surprise call to go down and meet boss for an interview. and finally the ppl from HR called me on mon. they didnt say much over the phone so i wasnt sure if they are going to interview me or that i was hired. i was happy and sad at the same time. im really fortunate to be hired at this time of crisis yet i feel a little lost. im starting a new phase, stepping into a new environment but im still the same me. i dun like to "blend in" just so to "fit in". working life would be more complex than the days in school.

so back to thurs, i was in the interview room for an hour and a half going thru the employee benefits and terms and conditions and a simple/relaxed interview. after tat, i was left alone in the room to fill up a form while they went to take some copies of my certs and IC. i signed the contract before filling up the application form for the position which i have no idea of before stepping into the room. the whole sequence was totally off but it's alright, it's the end result tat matters now. yes, im hired!

the next thing i m looking forward to would be 1st Sep - the release of my last&final results. rumours has been everywhere, anticipating the actual release date and the signs/colour symbols to show if you pass or fail the module. if the rumour is true, well, i passed all my modules. hahahaz.. isnt tat a good thing!?!?

many thanks to sh for accompanying me throughout the 'tough' times. i wouldnt know wat to do without you. =) i wouldnt say tat i m used to having you in my life coz i tink the 2weeks we spent practically living/eating/slping together had actually left an impact that makes me feel that you'd always been a part of my life. i thank you for you.

Bad stuff does happen sometimes.

Always remember tat you hae to move on, somehow.

Two very different people,
Too scared to get along,
Till two hearts beat together
Underneath one sun.

One very special moment
Can turn a destiny.
And what some would say that never change,
Has changed for you and me.

Cause it's all, it's all in the way you look through your eyes,
And when all is said and done,
All of the fear and all of the lies
Are not hard to overcome.
It's all in the way you look at it,
That makes you strong.
We were two, now we are one.

We are two very different people
So much to overcome.
So why care for one another
When there's so much to be done.

'Cause sometimes it's necessary
Just look how far we've come,
You could say, my friend, that's it's the end
Or a new tale has begun.

One moment in time
Is all the time we need.
Just to make a difference,
To make it better for you and for me
If you just believe.....

We were two, now we are one.

Just open your eyes

i switched to romance novels after reading the mad thrilling psychopathic series, all from the same author. patterson is great!

just finished one - Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas, and im fully convinced that he can be romantic at times too.

this is a poem from Matt to Suzanne:

Dear Suzanne,

You are the explosion of carnations in a dark room.
Or the unexpected scent of pine from Maine.

You are the full moon that gives midnight its meaning.
And the explanation of water for all living things.

You are a compass,
a sapphire,
a bookmark.
A rare coin,
a smooth stone,
a blue marble.

You are an old lore,
a small shell,
a saved silver dollar.
You are a fine quartz,
a feathered quill
and a fob from a favourite watch.

You are a valentine, tattered and loved and reread a hundred times.
You are a medal found in a drawer of a once sung hero.
You are honey and cinnamon
and West Indies spices,
lost from the boat that was once Marco Polo's.

You are a pressed rose,
a pearl ring
and a red perfume bottle found near the Nile.

You are an old soul from an ancient place,
a thousand years, and centuries and millenniums ago.
And you travelled all this way
just so i could love you.
I do.

Matt

isnt it touching? and they hae a phrase they kept mentioning throughout the whole book - Isnt it lucky?

yes. it's lucky to have met you. it's lucky to be alive today. it's lucky to be breathing and to be able to hold you in my arms. it's lucky to love and be loved. it's lucky to be me. it's lucky to have you. isnt it just so lucky?

It's lucky we found us.

weekend was well spent with sh. shifted into his new hallsweethall. no way he can cycle over late in the night anymore. =(

but there will still be our regular dosage of HOTDATES. ipromise.

got tis term HOTDATES from bee, coz he's been getting VERYVERY lucky recently. so busy with his dates that he had to forgo the delicious xiaolongbaos for his jellygirl.

s19's meetup has always been crappy. and bee self-claimed tat he had nv missed any one of them. im trying hard to recall if he missed any, but i guess if theres any gathering tat bee cant go, we will probably arrange it on another day. see how important he is. anyway, sch has started for the uni ppl and for those who graduated -> time to find work~~

im going to hunt for one soon... like really soon.
after i got my results in Sept.

No sunshine without you..
