对人不要太苛刻，不要太快认定人家就是你想的那样。给彼此一点空间，一个台阶下。不要把别人和自己逼到墙角。这样会不会好些呢？ Matt and I witnessed this at pp the other day.  A middle-aged lady (hereinafter "MAL") was blocking the exit path of a baby pram.  Said baby pram wheeled by presumably the father (herinafter "PPF") was trying to navigate out of the lift.  MAL finally realised she was in the way after a while and stepped out of the way.  By then there were 2 guys who have stepped out of the lift and the whole jean gang in the lift waiting.  PPF didn't look like he was irritated by MAL.  But when one of the young guys (herinafter "YMG) reentered the lift, he muttered "bodoh" under his breath, presumably at the MAL who was blocking the path of the PPF and thus holding up everyone. MAL exited the lift at the next floor and scolded the YMG something in Malay, too cheem for me to comprehend.  I suppose MAL was not happy she was called a bodoh.  Yes, MAL was probably obtuse for not noticing that she was in th...

Apologies I've been neglecting this blog.  Been busy with work and life in general.  Ahem, i do pack my schedule quite a bit with drama watching, friend gatherings, shopping (both physical and web-based), surfing the net, etc.  They are not life-and-death activities, yes, but i still feel very occupied.  Even if I have zero real kiddos in my life.

My latest find on iTunes - Birdy .   Get. Her. Album. she doesn't sound her age at all.  Very refreshing.  I got goosebumps listening to the song "People Help the People". I really thnk Jade Seah should quit as a DJ.  I think she sounds uncomfortable on-air.  I really don't enjoy her show but sadly have to listen to her after lunch, when I'm sleepy and really need some music to keep my spirits up. I heart blue nails. just got my toe nails painted a very dark blue, almost black even.  reflective of my mood. I am looking forward to a dinner at nosh  this weekend, belated anniversary celebration for 7 brilliant years. thanks hao-e.
