Had a hectic sorta day. ended it badly with a botched logistical arrangement. ah well, what to do, just another day here in this place, with my boxy laptop, pink cushion and bossanova music. i want to do well in my life, but what's "well"? who determines the benchmark for good and perfect? why do i always have to live by others' standards? what are my own?

sometimes, i slip into this state of mind, where i'm on auto-pilot, drifting from proj to proj, never caring what i truly think of them, or deviating from the instructions i'm given, just so that things run more smoothly, and i leave work on time, reach home to feed chewy and watch some tele and then to bed. days pass so quickly when you are not thinking.

But when you do wake up, you find yourself in a place you don't really want to be, doing something you don't find meaning in, meeting ppl you don't really want to meet, breathing when you don't wanna breathe, eating what you don't feel like eating... things just don't sit well with your system, and then you find, horrors of all horrors, you are stuck in this rut, and you've passed the point of no return, and there's just no way to climb out of this mess except accept that this mess will be what you call life, and you've got to just keep going on auto-pilot so that mind is switched off and you are numb.

Today is such a day. i'm tired, i'm sad, i'm anxious, i'm apprehensive. i want a quick resolution, whatever that may be. i don't like to be hanging in the air not knowing what to expect. i can't surprises. i wish for uplifting thoughts to fill my head, for positive feelings in my heart, for a spring in my step. i want to be happy.

Happiness is an elusive thing, when you think you've firmly grasped it in your hands, it fleets away while you were busy enjoying the moment, disappearing from your clutch as it flirts with you and teases you, undermining your confidence to regain it till you give up, thinking that you don't deserve it. then somtimes, it takes pity on you, looking at your forlorn face and sunken eyes, and it returns, but only for a moment.

The Tudors

I just realised how good looking Jonathon Rhys Meyers is? Gosh, i just love his chiseled face and beautiful eyes. Anyway, so i chanced upon this new series loosely based on THE Henry VIII, second king of the Tudor Dynasty. You guys should watch it if you are as besotted with him and as fascinated with anything royal as i am. hehe.... So i went to find out a bit more about the rather infamous king on wiki and here's some trivia about his eventful life ( i bet, with so many women around him?!) Technically, Henry was only married twice. Four of his marriages were annulled which means they never took place. His court jester was named Will Somers . The only surviving piece of clothing worn by Henry VIII is a cap of maintenance , awarded to the Mayor of Waterford , along with a bearing sword, in 1536 . It currently resides in the Waterford Museum of Treasures . Henry VIII was the first member of the English Royal Family to wear silk stockings.
it's funny how you learn things about yourself - your likes and dislikes - every single day. here's a list of dislikes: eager beavers people who fake an accent people who talk more than they do people who claim credit when they've done nothing (oh! old debts) back-stabbers gossipers (is there such a word?) that stir up trouble like there ain't enough of that already?! inconsiderate people .... more to come, i just know it is it too much to ask to have decent people around? there's a chinese saying, that even on the same hand the fingers are of different lengths. but is it really impossible to have everyone cross a certain threshold of decency and not stick out like a sore thumb? i've often wondered why some 40 year olds act the way they do - as if they hate the whole world. i think i'm in danger of being that sort of 40 year old as the list gets longer, and i meet more obnoxious people. argh. (*_*)

Happy Easter!

Busy Easter weekend! Got my screening report from the doctors on Thursday, I have to cut down on sugars, oily food and carbs.... uhoh, nothing about the lumps so i'm grateful. Marc Jacobs bag arrived in the evening, woohoo!   Good Friday was spent in Church and shopping at Sim Lim Square for Hao-e's new PC. Pilates on Saturday morning after a week's break, super out of shape.  think i should probably start doing some exercises at home and maybe go for swim downstairs when i get a chance. Chewy had a good scrubbing session at noon then off to watch Le Noir at Sands Theatre on Saturday afternoon, fun! Cousin-in-law's wedding dinner at Conrad on Saturday evening, no shark's fin which was a bummer. Easter mass on Sunday morning followed by Qingming thingamie at Mt Vernon. Sunday brunch at York Hotel's Penang Hawker Buffet, yum! Watched 1.5 movies too - GI Joe (meh) and SVFV (vulgar).  SVFV was the movie that  was banned and made the h...
