A simple story of life in pictorial form. Hope this will touch you as much as it did to me. =)

The Hope of Christmas

Was feeling right at the bottom this morning. I just dun understand why do people have such short tempers these days.

When they get frustrated with u for no apparent reason (perhaps with the "help" of someone who left but whose spirit lingers), or keep demanding something from u when it's with them - why am I always on the receiving end...

Anyway, I made my way to Starbucks for a breather and saw all the Christmas decorations that were already up! All the drinks which are only available during Christmas are also on sale now. Waiting for my drink, I just stared aimlessly at their menu. And then I saw the words "Hope, Love, Peace". At this point, I actually felt very touched. It's as if God heard my cry and reminded me that I still have Hope, Love and Peace because He came into this world. Without Him, I'm nothing.

But precisely because He came to die for me, I will always have Hope, Love and Peace.

Rabbit Brand Seafood Delicacies (Circular Road)

Just now I went with my colleagues to this place to eat.

Since I didn't get to go to White Rabbit to eat, just have to make do with another Rabbit... =/

One day in the near future, I'll get someone to bring me there. *hehehe* =)

The other Rabbit serves seafood like abalone and fish moss and others all at affordable prices. Taste is ok.

So for cheap food with expensive sounding ingredients.... this is the place to go to.

when things are just bearable, perhaps it's time to consider a change.

i'm really really tired now actually.

but i refuse to sleep.

i dun want my sunday to end and monday to start!

HOW?!?!?! ='(

Retail Therapy

I dun get it.

How is it that spending money always seems to make one happy?

Since Friday, I've spent money on the following:

- hair cut ($25)
- bodyshop items ($53)
- earrings ($6)
- hairband ($6)

Think there's something else I bought but I cannot quite recall. Yes, can you see how serious this is getting?!?!

But what I know is, after each spending, I do feel a little more appeased with myself. Lighter perhaps in my wallet?

Sigh.

And I'm going to spend more money this Friday aftn! = (

No more. Tmr onwards. No more small or large unnecessary expenses...

i'm trying my best to fight off the distraction.

i need to.

i must.

只许成功，不许失败！

i'm really amazed at how pple can spend money that they do not have. and then after that borrow from others to fill the gap.

*hmmmm*

since the day u left, i've always treated it as a given tt u'd be back. though the many times i prayed n i cried, i've always believed tt one day things will resume and pick up from where it was left off.

but strangely after wat u told me just now, for a moment i was "scared".

it suddenly dawned upon me, wat if u never come back.

perhaps it was purely for the sake of talking to me that u told me wat u said. but suddenly i was afraid. i guess it's a gd thing if u start gg there. ok it's definitely a gd thing. but i really hope that u'll come back. that things will go back to wat it used to be. somethings will never be the same again, but we all change and life moves on.

now i'm not so sure anymore...

*momentarily confused*

I was just randomly browsing thru the photos in my HP yest when I came across this:

Looking at it, I felt SOOOOOOOO SADZ!!!

This was me in Jan07! Look how I've aged... and gone horizontal! ='((((

I'm determined to do something abt that NOW! =(

My new toy!!! =)

Am amazed...

Since I desperately needed a rest, I decided to go for a 30mins shoulder massage during lunch just now. And I am amazed!

The young lady there (who happens to come from a place that I so adore) could deduce the following 2 things just by massaging my shoulders!

1) I carry a very heavy bag most of the times on my right side. She told me that whenever I feel the strain carrying it, I should change arms so that I stop straining the vein in my right shoulder.

2) My body is very heaty now. She told me to drink more liang cha or just plain water so that I can lower the heat in my body.

So amazing rite?!?! Just from a massage!

Went "lobbying"

Yesterday I met up with RL for dinner and then we went to check out the place where one of her frd gigs at.

And so we headed down to the lobby. The only instructions that she had was that it was a room next to the broiler room. But after walking round and round and not being able to find it, we decided to ask and realised that it was a small small door right next to the broiler room. Walking in, I found myself that the same toilet I was at a month ago (de javu)! *haha* With different pple, heading to a different place with a much clearer head...

The bouncer directed us out of the toilet into this dark, dim area then lo and behold, right at the end of the path was a band preparing to start. I stared at my friend. Almost glaring actually. We were the ONLY TWO in that whole area!!! Isn't the band supposed to start playing at 945pm??? It was already 10pm when we strolled in and they haven't started...

They finally decided to start after the both of us sat down. I initially wanted to take a photo of myself and my drink but for once I was so self-conscious... Instead of the being lost in the crowd that I usually find myself in, I found myself being looked on by the band. Like 4 pairs of eyes on stage looking at 2 pple sitting below it. So So SO weird... I didn't dare take that photo. It was almost like I'd be rude not to be watching them and doing my own things...... And when the band is like talking to the audience, they are really really talking to just me n my frd! Something that I seriously cannot get over. Like for once, I'm really supposed to respond to their onstage chatter?! *faintz*

RL says EIC plays there on Thurs. I wonder. How would things have been different just a night ago? Seriously I felt sadz for them. I used to play in a band and playing to no audience is no fun. Musically, they are not too bad. Much better than some of the weirdos I hear in other places with much more pple...

So that was a really strange experience. At the side was a table of 3 mature guys with a young cutsy gal trying to sell them tequila shots. Right at the back were many table-fulls of pple young and old doing their own things, drinking and playing games. No cover charge, free music yet no one was listening. Something is wrong.

This place shouldn't be called the lobby. Perhaps the corridor would be a more appropriate name.
