Happy Thoughts..

Realised that my blog entries were mostly sad/disturbed/whiny/frustrated, or neutral. so this shall be my first happy entry ^^

Last week, work was quite pleasant, due to the absence of a particular mister eight-legged creature, (who's unfortunately back in my life at present..) this week, the creature has added 8 more legs as his able deputy has gone on hols. as i would like to believe (and have been trying to convince myself to), life goes on whether you are happy or sad, so let's just look on the bright side, and hang on...

on friday, went for a haircut at randy's. he cut off most of my hair as i sat there complaining about my life, and receiving consolation from all the staff there in return. so now hair is quite short, till tie-able but the pony has loss much bulk from its tail, as the hair has been severely thinned and layered. the colour has also been changed to an orangey shade of brown, which is just the hue that i like. thanks randy, you know me so well.

as usual, the weekend passed too quickly for my liking. and all too soon, the fun was over and monday came. this time though, depression set in at about 10pm last night, when it finally dawned on me that monday was looming and the week was not going to be easy ahead. as fr john paul said last sunday, sometimes we are 'surviving' each week, and not really living it. i don't just want to survive. i want to be happy to be alive. there's a marked difference in that. anyways, so i was depressed. and then i woke up twice at night because it was too warm, (it was so so hot, like 40 deg celcius i think yesterday) and i had 2 nightmares, one where hao-e was upset with me over a pair of spectacles and the other because of work. btw, for those who don't already know, yours truly suffer from nightmares about work. i think i worry too much about it. such a waste of time and energy, this worrying. i'm trying desperately to take things a little easier and lighter, in the hope that i won't be so stressed about it and maybe i can grow to like certain aspects of it.

ah well.. the nightmares go on, so does my life, the earth doesn't stop spinning, so i shall stop dwelling on the things. gotten through monday, so there's 4 more days left to the next weekend. things can only get better right?

Back To Reality

It's over! We're finally married (in the eyes of the Church!). It was really pretty fun last sat, thank God for the sunny weather (a bit hot lah, but at least it didn't rain till after), for the wonderful guests and my fantastic friends. hope it wasn't too uncomfortable under the sun for everyone.

Back Safe and Sound

This is my first post since we left Bermuda for Singapore more than 3 weeks ago. We are battling serious jet lag this time. it might be the age-factor (yikes!) or because we didn't rest properly on the flights (yes plural!) back cos we were busy trying to exhaust all the new movies on krisworld, or maybe a combination of both lah. but both of us have been trying very hard to keep awake at 3pm. yes, the sleep monster strikes at that hour! thank God we are going to remove time saving tonight, so we have 1 less hour to correct this weekend. talking about movies, twilight was amazingly easy on the eye! although i hesitate to call ourselves twilight converts given that i was highly skeptical at first. but the eye candy in the form of Rob Pattersin/Edward Cullen is really irresistible (did you know Rob Pattersin was Cedric in Harry Potter??) .... argh. i wanna get bitten by this vamp too lor! BITE ME! Hao-e even bought New Moon (the sequal) to read this weekend and i spent almost ...

IT JUST DOESN'T FEEL LIKE CHINESE NEW YEAR!

As I learn about everyone's plans to welcome the Golden Tiger Year, the more unhappy I become.  Although it was a conscious effort on our part to avoid being home for the Lunar New Year, I cannot help but feel left out during this all-important holiday. On this island, we have all but 1 so-called Chinese restaurant.  Every year, they would put up the red banner a few weeks before CNY. One red banner compared to the numerous ones back home.  How pathetic eh? There is no atmosphere whatsoever. With the "influx" of Chinese kids, 4 in total plus 1 soon-to-be-born, I made myself pack some red envelopes from home, so that the kids can experience a little of the festivities that I am so used to.   WHAT IS CHINESE NEW YEAR WITHOUT THE RED PACKETS? This year, we've upgraded our celebration to include mahjong!  yes, the mahjong set and table arrived last weekend.  hao-e couldn't stop himself from ripping the plastic cover off those ivory -coloured tiles and we ...
