Xmas Plans
1. Show up at the party dressed as MJ
2. Bring along a present for gift exchange
3. A piece of ornament that represent the best of year 2009 and hang it on the Christmas tree
Sounds like fun indeed! I will need to start working on my ornament though. Serene suggested using the Hard Rock Macau keychain as the ornament whereas I thought of simply buying a turtle keychain or even just hanging my boarding pass!!!!
25th to 27th would be a blast too because it's a FAMILY Christmas in MOKUL with my dearest parents and Jie. Can't wait for Christmas to be here!

A Christmas Break
A's back in Melbourne, spending time with his family during the festive season. Am happy for him. It's time for him to catch up with them since the last he went home for Christmas was over 5 years now.
I'm not too bad myself either. Making a trip up to KL with my entire family during the festie period. Finally, some quality time with family.
Made it to the Christmas service at Indoor Stadium with Ad today. It seemed more like a concert than a service. Didn't know that NCC had such elaborate celebrations. Anyway, Pastor Prince had us made 3 wishes for 2010 which God will unassumely grant us. And I made mine. *smiles*.
Alcohol OD
Tuesday was our department's Christmas party, which I finished half a bottle of Cab Sau by myself. It was then followed by dinner with the HODs at MELT's outdoor garden with another half bottle of Merlot.
Wednesday was steamboat dinner with the beloved 79 seniors followed by a couple of Erdingers.
Thursday was Pierre Jouet's launch party at Axis where my dearest Daren had me bottoms up 5 glasses of Champagne. Ricky had to chase me home thereafter as I was making WAY too much noise in the kitchen.
Friday was Gerald's wedding where I was seated with the most happening table in the entire ballroom (with a whole bunch of KC girls). Well, another 5 glasses of red down during the dinner. I was surprised I managed to made it through the movie with Chef Hiew.
Saturday was my pre-festive celebration dinner with my dearest fanatics. Another 5 glasses of 07 Pinot Noir during the dinner.
Finally had a break today. Although I have to admit that it is very tempting for me to open that bottle of Marlborough Pinot Noir in the kitchen.

I am in a relationship
There is little wonder why all the women are going crazy about the lead character Edward Cullen. I've always thought of myself as being too down-to-earth and practical that I wouldn't fancy such 'high-school' vampire love story but I was so wrong. I have to admit. I am hooked. Am waiting for Gracie to pass me the other 3 books by Stephanie Meyers next weekend.
Mich wrote on her facebook that she wants Edward Cullen. Following suit, I posted on my wall that I AM in a relationship with Edward Cullen! LOL. Well, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that! I just didn't say that it was a one-sided relationship!~ Didn't know that it will garner some responses but Elaine texted me early this morning asking me why is it Edward Cullen and not A? Haha.

Blessed with a man's love
I totally salute her for the stand she took. The fact that she can stand for what she wants despite the disapprovals, the stares and maybe even rumours that may start, is admirable. How many of us will even have the courage to think about it? Not for me definitely, although it did crossed my mind before when I was told that I am unable to get married before I reach 30.
Then again, it's high time they get together since Beppe has been in love with her for the longest time now. Spoke to Grace today and she commented on the way Beppe looks at her and how in love he is with her. Gosh. I somehow felt envious and wondered if it's the same for A. Although yes, he's been in love with me for the past 2 years...

Mis-fit
I simply love the kind of relationship I have with her - open, honest and fun-loving. We chatted about everything under the sky today. The topic ranges from A to Spidey, Jie's makeover to Dad's non-chalant attitude, and even about gambling in casinos and the weather in Beijing.
And then Mum took something out to show me. It was THE ring. I didn't expect to see the ring for the first time under such circumstances. Apparently Jie had it with her for safekeeping for quite a while now. I slipped the ring on and realised how big the size was for me and how mismatched it looked on my hand. Well, it was a mis-fit all along isn't it?

Reminiscing
I still couldn't believe that I actually flew a few thousand miles just to watch DVDs, eat Chinese takeout and drink Pinot Noir with A. Although it was something I've never done before, I actually felt fulfilled and contented.
Apart from meeting Mich for drinks and dinner, we didn't exactly wanted to do the usual 'holiday' stuff nor spend time with anyone else. Well, we did went for massages, ate smelly tofu and onion pancakes by the streets, and queued up for the famous Portuguese egg tarts at Cafe De Nata. And I did eat enough Braised Beef Brisket Noodles to last me a couple of months.
Somehow the conversations we had, the time we spent together especially the walk at night in the cold, seems to linger on. Not forgetting the smokes we had in the balcony when the temperature was 12degrees outdoors, the feeling of wearing his oversized Gortex jacket, having him as my shelter when the wind gets strong and me translating all the menu items from Chinese to English for him.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to our time together in January. He's thinking of heading up to Beijing for that 5 days. Talking about the law of attraction, I just bought a down feather jacket yesterday although I didn't know where we will be heading. *Smiles*

Stretching
Despite missing him dearly deep down inside, I dont' exactly want him to stay home and chat with me on msn every night. I actually WANT him to go out and enjoy with his friends or staff. To reward himself after a hard day at work. Thank God we are making it a habit to call or text each other every morning and night.
Well, he did asked me about our plans when I was over last month. And honestly, I'm still thinking. It ain't easy to give up whatever I have established here in SG. Especially so when I'm getting a promotion in January and leaving for my first group conference.
Trish once told me not to commit a 100% in a relationship until the guy has the ring on my finger. Wouldn't leaving my career behind be committing a 100% then? Well, that is if I chose not to work and just follow him wherever he goes, although we know we are gonna stay put in the same country for the next 2 to 3 years at least since he's getting a promotion as well. It just freak me out to know that I will have to depend on another person, financially.
On the other hand, 2 good offers from established properties there sounds like a deal as well. I told Muz that I'm not going to think about it now. Let's just finished 2009 and begin the new chapter in the brand new year. That's when we have decided to really talk in detail anyway.
Trip confirmed
I need to stock up on my clothes. Resort Casual? I only have plenty of sundresses which will be inappropriate for the conference. Damn. More money spent.

I did a KFC surprise
Told A about it this morning and he said that he missed KFC so much. Well, they do have ONE pathetic outlet over in Macau but only at the Zhuhai border, which is quite a distance away.
Anyway, I called Michelle and had her deliver both crispy and originals over to him at the hotel just before lunchtime. And so, I did a KFC surprise. *wink*

Turning Gay
But then again, Ad is indeed extremely charming and I do adore and love her a lot. And IF I were to ever turn gay one day, it would have to be her. LOL.
Repeat Mode
Well, it somehow reminded me of the wild and crazy party we had at MGM 2 months ago. 2 bottles of vodka, done in 45minutes. Well done Rockers! Well, they were ALL from Hard Rock with the exception of only Serene & myself.

The difference between A & A
A was so concerned about how Spidey will feel and even suggested that I postponed the closure a little while later whereas Spidey just did what he felt like doing. Both were handling the closure of a relationship and yet one took time to handle each and everyone around them tactfully and conscientiously. THAT's the difference.

The future holds for US
The man who told me that he doesn't want to be in ANY relationship 2 months ago is now in a relationship? Yes you guessed it. Spidey apparently, now has a new girlfriend. Wow! That was FAST isn't it?
I had to admit that I was experiencing mixed emotions. I was on one hand worried because it was WAY too fast. I also felt insulted because we were supposed to have our closure next week. Couldn't he just wait a few more days to announce it? I felt that the relationship wasn't respected in this sense. But then again, I am in fact happy if this young sweet little thing can make him happy too.
Told A about it and he also questioned the real reason behind the break-up. But he's right. The future holds for us instead.

Wise Words
"Treasure the one who holds your heart"
How simple this statement can be and yet how true and profound its meaning can be.
I realised how easy it is to just do what I always do, to switch on the autopilot mode and go along with the flow and yet how 'stretchy' it can be to just pause, slow down and make a different choice.
Other than OWTFGFIA, this is probably one of the best advice I've ever been given. Each time I felt like giving a verbal diarrhoea to him, I stopped myself and repeated this 'mantra' to myself. And it's amazing how this wonderful this works! Reminding myself that I'm the real and mature Kylie Minoque instead of the high-maintenance bitchy doll is a good method too.
Elaine told me that 'I've grown' is an understatement. She loves the Kelly that she is seeing right now and can't wait for me to make the announcement officially.
Went for Esther's astrology workshop and the comments she made about me is not just pure coincidence. 'When you succeed in career, love comes'. Serene couldn't agree more. She also commented how much I would love to have a man who will command me. I could see Serene nodding her head away rigourously.
Whatever it is, I'm glad I'm wiser now.

True Revelation
Well, it's weird how the universe works. Like what he said 'When God takes something away from your grasp, He's not punishing you. He's just freeing your hands to receiving something better.' I somehow realised how true this is.
When one gets so caught up and overwhelmed with emotions, the future seems bleak and even impossible. But when the emotions clear, it is when you see what lies ahead. Jie always tells me that things happen for a reason. It's not a test, it's not a trial. It's an experience for one to know what they want, really want.
And I guess I saw mine. Living in denial for the longest time now, I realised how easy it was to hold onto something I don't exactly want, for the sake of comfort, security and even assurance. But when one truly embraced the fact that it's actually for the wrong reasons, things seem to fall in place, exactly the way one wanted it.
We took a huge detour to recognise this. And the universe does work in miraculous ways. When one thought that it was virtually impossible, mountains were moved, seas were parted, to make place for what it was supposed to be.
Well, if not for the pain, the loss and the heartache, I wouldn't have realised what was true for me and what was real for me. I have no idea how the universe works and how it put things in place but I trust that it was doing all the good it has for me. How could two best of friends then, possibly fall in love with each other? It beats me too.
And how could people around saw it so clearly that the two should belong together when they are totally oblivious to it? I don't exactly want to question it but I am happy to know that we actually belong to each other after taking a long, winding detour.
Apparently, The One has been printed in my life since day one. I clearly remember how Esther told me that he would be a foreigner and that he will be powerful and established. And how andamant Jie was at determining that I would have a life of a 'Tai tai'. I seriously didn't want to place too much hope in it since many of them that I've encountered so far are not. This apparently was the process of pathing my way to the right person. I didn't saw this coming and even lamented at how painful the entire process was.
Then, it was Mary Ann who gave me a sneak preview of how it will be like last week. And Monica who confirmed it today. The conviction that she gave was overwhelming. Monica, of all people does not promise or make such bold statements. But she did today.
Well, all I can say is that I've moved forward with my life and will start opening a new chapter with who I was supposed to be with since the very beginning- my best friend.

A Jetsetter Lifestyle...
I didn't used to fly this often. It was then four times in a year at most but it's dawning upon me these days on how easy it is to just book a ticket and fly yourself overseas for a short weekend.
After returning from Nepal, I set off for Macau within a month. A wanted to fly me up to Taipei for a weekend because he was there for a business convention, which didn't materialise in the end. Now here I am, getting ready to pack my luggage for another trip over to Macau this weekend.
There's another trip to the States in January which A's asking me to tag along and another 'family' trip to Taiwan which my dear boy Zach is demanding that I join in. Well, there's another planned for Israel in December or February with Serene which we are now debating on the dates, and not forgetting BKK which Zach is asking me to bring him.
Hmm.. why am I not complaining? *wink*

吴克群 - 爱太痛
没有了你 全都不对
我都学不会 把爱敷衍
用笑容来把眼泪催眠
笑不能笑 哭不敢哭
人不像人 鬼不像鬼
朋友都说这 不过失恋
但我却连呼吸都胆怯
能不能不爱了 因为爱太痛了
我痛得快死了 却无法把你忘了
能不能不爱了 爱情它太痛了
我痛得快死了 却无法把爱割舍
我不能睡
我不能够 不能够不爱了

Today's Sermon
Forgive And Let God Do The Rest
Ephesians 4:3232And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.
People like to say, “I can forgive, but I cannot forget.” Have you heard that before? Now, in the first place, nowhere in the Bible does God tell you to forgive and then to forget. It is not in the Bible! The devil is adding something here to make the whole thing burdensome.
God only tells us to forgive because God in Christ has forgiven us a debt we cannot pay. When we do this, we do ourselves a favor because harboring bitterness and unforgiveness can sometimes destroy our health!
So just forgive and let God take care of the rest. When you really forgive, sometimes, He makes you forget. But sometimes, you still remember the incident because it was a major thing in your life. Yet, when you look back at it, the pain is no more there. The sting is gone and you are not bitter.
Joseph had forgiven his brothers before they came and bowed before him. He remembered what they did to him, but he did not remember it with bitterness. (Genesis 50:15–21) So you may remember the incident, but the bitterness is gone because you have put the cross in the picture — “God in Christ forgave me. Daddy, I forgive you. Mama, I forgive you. My cousin, I forgive you.”
When you forgive, forgive by faith, not by your feelings. We walk by faith, not feelings. (2 Corinthians 5:7) Some people are waiting for feelings — “I am waiting, Father, for the right emotion to come on me to forgive that person.” That “right emotion” may never come!
No, forgive by faith, and do it once and for all. Spend time in prayer. Take out your diary and write it down: “Father, I bring this person before you. You know what he did to me. Father, as You forgave me through Jesus’ cross, even though I did not deserve it, by faith, I now forgive this person and I let my anger against him go in Jesus’ name. Amen!”
Once you forgive by faith, you will see the sting of bitterness removed from your heart. You will experience the peace and joy of God filling your mind, and see a greater measure of wholeness in your body!

Have What I Have
After all the turmoil and by coincidence, I unraveled the meaning behind's Spidey's advanced song. After 1 1/2 year, it just dawned upon me that the reason was very simple. It was me.
I finally understood Ken Ito's message to me. It is time to have what i have. Because what i have is indeed like what he said, perfect for me.
The Reason - Hoobastank
I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learningI never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new and the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you throughI wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
Thats why i need you to hear
I've found a resaon for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new and the reason is You
I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new and the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

A You-owe-me Surprise
Trying to be cheeky and also to test out the new MMS software in my phone, I sent this across to him.

He claimed foul play because I was supposed to pass him the actual coupon. Better luck next time I thought to myself.
We were then already set for the weekend trip to Bintan. He was there for work and I simply tagged along for the sun. I was waiting for him at the ferry terminal when he texted me, saying that there was a surprise for me. I knew what it was when I saw his parents at the ferry terminal. His parents came along for the trip too. =_=’’’
Yes, it was unexpected and totally surprising. But no, it doesn’t count as a nice surprise treat for me. Well anyway, they only stayed for the night and returned the next morning.
The actual surprise was revealed when we drove into Bintan Lagoon. We are staying at Bintan Lagoon instead of the usual Camp Challenge bunks!
Our humble little room for the 2nd night.
We had a double bed for the 1st night but was given a twin bedded one for the 2nd due to the high occupancy. The rooms were FOC, so I shan't complain.
The quiet pool in the morning.
read: only in the mornings.
The beach! A place I missed so much.
I took a ride on the Jetski although I must say that Damian (the seasport centre's manager) wouldn't be the the best bet if you ain't in for the (extreme) thrill. Well, I almost got flung out of the racer jetski when he took a corner in full speed!
Went on the ATV (All-Terrain-Vehicle) with the gang (Hwee Li, Damian & Spidey) into the jungle track. I wasn't impressed with the ride until it started raining. Somehow, the mud, leaves and the painful raindrops on my skin injected more excitement to it.
It started to get interesting when we ventured into a deserted beach about 10 to 15km away from Bintan Lagoon. We were driving on the beach in the rain (something a lot wouldn't encourage) when the unexpected happen.
One of the ATV stalled. God knows why but the drizzling rain became a thunderstorm and huge waves started to crash in from the sea at that very moment. There were no shelters, it was raining heavily and the wind couldn't get icier. It was really like filming our own Survival.
The girls rode back in the other working ATV while the men stayed and waited for (rescue) help. Unfamilar with the route, we had to ride by the coastline, past the entire stretch of deserted beach (read: uneven, dirty, with tons of logs, branches and huge puddles of water) to get back to Bintan Lagoon.
Hwee Li and me at the seasport centre after a 20minute ride back. I thank God we made it back safely and honestly, I would glady give up anything for an experience like this.
Well, many thanks to Spidey for this surprise treat. Although I'm thinking at the same time, isn't there supposed to be another coupon meant for this? *wicked laugh*

Oyster Surprise
Spidey wasn’t keen on the look when I tried it on. I didn’t think much of it and left for the basement for some Japanese snacks.

Honestly, I can't figure out how he could have possibly bought this when he's next to me throughout the evening, which he refuses to comment still.

Historic Melaka




A beautiful chinese temple just a few doors down
Unwilling to let go, we had to step into Hotel Puri and take a picture in their lobby. Next trip, we shall make sure we'll get to stay there at the next trip. 

Followed by a bowl of authentic Nyonya Chendol...

It was then shopping time and we decided to head to the malls before going back to the street market at night. There really wasn't much so we decided to venture into Factory Outlet. It was then, I realised. That this will be my favourite shopping spot and Spidey insisted that I may only come back to Malacca for this!
Listen up, I found brands such as H&M, GAP, etc. and needless to say, my all-time favourite VICTORIA SECRETS! It was a good RM155 I spent in there even though the selection was only for selected fittings and sleepwear. Gracie, you're gonna be so upset cos I saw one of the PJ you bought from VS, at only RM20 in here. 
One of the must-try item in my list was Devil's Curry. And as told by the concierge at Hotel Equatorial, the only place that I can find that is at the Portuguese Settlement which is about 1.6km away. Attempting to be adventurous, Spidey and I decided to take a slow walk there - only to realise half way through the journey of 45minutes that there wasn't a single cab in sight!
I wasn't surprised to see the place packed with lots of people. I guess they must be there mainly for the seafood and so we ended up ordering some too. My recommendation, drive there if you have to go there because the food just ain't worth our effort. And yes, we eventually had to walk 1.6km back to Hotel Equatorial because there were absolutely no cabs around! If there was a place that I felt was a waste of time, this had to be it. Other than the super cheap prices, we paid about RM70 for 2 crabs, 6 king prawns, devil's curry, kang kong belacan and a bottle of tiger beer, there wasn't anything much to rave about. 
I didn't feel that bad until I realised that the Peranakan restaurant (Nancy's kitchen) across my hotel, serves Devil's Curry too.
It was the shopping at Jonker Street followed by another bowl of Chendol thereafter, that made me simmer down.

Of a deserving break
It's time for a break. Spidey says I need to rest and definitely deserve a mini-break. Since flights are all booked out and we are so not going to step into Bintan anytime soon again, we decided to drive up to Malaysia for a food trail.
So, it's Malacca tomorrow morning, in search for my favourite Devils Curry, chicken rice ball, chendol and Peranakan food... I'm praying hard that I'm not going to put a few more pounds this weekend. *keeping my fingers crossed*

Stress Reliever
Although I’ve been cooking, and I absolutely loved it, for a very long time now, (well, I first started out cooking Maggie noodles when I was still in my PAP kindergarden uniform) it didn’t dawn upon me that cooking was actually my way of relieving stress. I started noticing this a couple of weeks ago when I started cooking a lot when I wasn’t feeling quite normal and instantly felt better thereafter.
Relieving stress has its plus points. I’ve managed to perfect the recipe of Marmite Pork Ribs… and Garlic Fried Rice.. Did I also mention that I can make a very good chawanmushi now?

From LP79 to me...
You'll never knowWhat you've done for me
What your faith in me
Has done for my soul...
You'll never know
The gift you've given me..
I'll carry it with me
Through the days ahead
I think of days before
You made me hope for something better
And made me reach for something more
You taught me to run
You taught me to fly
Helped me to free the me inside
Help me hear the music of my heart
Help me hear the music of my heart
You've opened my eyes
You've opened the door
To something I've never known before
And your love...Is the music of my heart..
You were the one
Always on my side
Always standing by
Seeing me through
You were the song that always made me sing
I'm singing this for you
Everywhere I go
I think of where I've been
And of the one who knew me better
Than anyone ever will again
You taught me to run
You taught me to fly
Helped me to free the me inside
Help me hear the music of my heart
Help me hear the music of my heart
You've opened my eyes
You've opened the door
To something I've never known before...
And your love... Is the music of my heart
What you taught me
Only your love could ever teach me
You got through when no one could reach me
Cause you always saw in me
All the best that I could be
It was you who set me free

A trip to the civilisation
I am going on a H-O-L-I-D-A-Y. Yes, yes, yes! No no, I didn't forget my intention. That's why I'm materialising it. =)
Being the usual barbie doll that I am, we will be staying at Hyatt Regency. As a matter of fact, I really only wanted to stay at Aman. But USD 800 per room per night is just way out of the question. Then again, Spidey has agreed to stay at Aman during our trip to Bhutan. *evil wink*
Well, Hyatt looks pretty nice from the pictures too. One thing that I absolutely like about the hotel is the fact that we can actually see Mount Merapi from the rooms! Nice~!

Contented
It was such a pity that it was a day before my advanced staffing and Spidey wasn't available too. To top it off, the tickets were going at a whopping $588!

Shining beyond
We were on a cold war yesterday at post graduation party at Le Baroque. It was LP77's 3rd weekend, LP78's 2nd weekend as well as the graduation of SB82. Le Baroque was filled with AW people and some GLPs were sensitive enough to pick up the vibes from us.
Albert, Elaine, Mahen, Ken, David, Bean and Alex all tried resolving this for us. It didn't help. I just couldn't give up wanting to be right. It was after a few hours later that I sat next to my beloved De that got me into action. We are so alike so she knows me best. She shared with me her experience when Faith staffed her first basic. 'It's great that you're shinning, but don't forget about me.' was what she said to Faith. It strucked me that it was as easy as opening up my mouth.
I went up to him at the dance floor and there we are, a happy couple all over again. =)

Surprise surprise!
Being a lot more savvy when it comes to financial planning, I've learned how to spend my money wisely (minus the cab rides). I chanced upon spidey's credit card bill the other day and was taken aback by the amount (no it wasn't a lot) because he really doesn't spend much. The amount just wasn't justifiable because I haven't seen any new PSP nor laptop nor new gadgets lying around the house.
'Company's expenditure' he will tell me each time I asked about it. The weird part is, I just saw the hefty reimbursement cheque that he received the other day.
Trying to convince him that credit card bills are unhealthy and damaging, I probably over-reacted quite a bit and drove him up the wall.
Everyone who knew about it swore upon their lives that they will never leak the secret out to me. But it was the 'kan cheong' spidey himself that let the cat out of the bag. He couldn't forgave himself for spoiling the surprise and I couldn't forgave myself for ruining my own surprise.... Goddammit.
I am your financial planner
Anyway, not to digress, Steve taught me a good financial planning method that I thought I should share. It was from an entrepreneur friend of his.
Apparently, everyone of us should divide our income into 5 major accounts. You don't really have to set up 5 different accounts, you just need to keep track which account the money belongs to, although I suggest keeping aside those for future use because people like me will be tempted to just swipe that card to buy some shoes, bags, skincare products or dresses.
1. Expense Account
Self - explanatory. This account records all the expenses you will require for the month such as your travel fares, food expenses, hp bills, health insurance, etc. Set aside an amount and spend within that budget.
2. Savings Account
Duh. This is saving for the rainy days. Your insurance savings plan or bank's savings plan expense are credited into this account.
3. Investment Account
The money in this account are not meant to be spent! Unless there is an investment opportunity. What you do is really simple. Simply set aside 100 or 200 bucks into the account every month. By the time when the stock market is down or when share prices dropped tremendously (like the AIG shares), you'll have the spare cash to earn a quick buck.
4. Future Purchase Account
This account is meant for future purchases such as a new car, a new lap top, house, wedding, etc. Simply credit a couple of hundred bucks into this account and you will be amazed at the speed the amount accumulates.
5. Rewards Account
My favourite account! Set aside an amount that you are supposed to spend at the end of the month. Splurge! Be it a full day spa, a $300 meal or a weekend getaway, this reward account is to thank yourself for being so disciplined and prudent in your spendings. Trust me, you'll need this. It'll help you soothe those heartaches and insomnia about that pair of jimmy choos or that chloe bag you wanted in the beginning of the month.
Happy planning!

Take the walk
I have been behaving well. As tempted as I am to just wave my hand in the air to flag a cab (especially when it's raining this morning), I chant the mantra and took the train to work. Spidey was proud of my accomplishment. =) Yes, it is an accompishment.
It's going to be a long week. Spidey is off to Bintan for another 3-day programme. I miss my boyfriend already. Then again, we are both on a week's leave next week! Wanted to visit Mich in Macau but she's off to Bordeaux at the last minute. So I guess I will be spending time tidying up my thesis, run my overdue errands, and of course, spending quality time with my beloved spiderman. Can't wait for F1 to be over.

It's a busy week
I have been working non-stop for the past few months to the extent that Spidey is always asking me on every Friday evening if I will be going back to the office the next day. It's either a sad face he gives when I nod my head or a wide grin when I shoke my head. Then again, I hate to disappoint him each time he plans something. Last weekend was a classic example. He had this bright smile on his face when he returned from a 3-day programme at Bintan and was happily arranging for brunch and movies. I recieved a phone call on Saturday morning and there I was, trying to pacify him to no end. Thank God my bf is a supporter. These are the rare times I truly appreciate and embrace the supporter side of him.
Was doing a photoshoot with Calvin today and he was asking if I needed to work this hard. Well honestly, with HY on leave and so many PR activites, what am I supposed to say?

My Little Beauty Book
It dawned upon me that perhaps, I should be a little bit more generous, to share my tips here in the blog. Hahaha. LOL.
First and foremost, let me reveal my latest find:
I first started out with the daily defense eye cream about 3 weeks ago. It was supposed to repair and protect against photoaging. Today, I chanced upon the brand again at Marina Square atrium and ended up buying the cleanser, sun block and toner-moisturiser. Ok, I admit I am one of the easiest person to persuade to buy any beauty product. Just show me the brochure and if there's enough literature on it, I'm sold. It's THAT easy. Then again, these products won the Cleo and Singapore Women's Weekly awards. Trust me, it's no advertising gimmick. I have clarified with the insiders and it was weeks and weeks of testing countless products that they derived the winner list from. So it must be worth a try. Kawaii Tokyo is available in Sasa stores, Robinson and John Little.
Speaking of which, it is about time to replenish my cosmetics. I am still sold by my Kiehl's Lip Balm, Ettusais blusher and moisturising pressed powder, and my favourite Loreal Volume Shocking mascara. =)

A non-typical Sunday
After a late breakfast, we decided to make a trip to Vivo City, something even rarer (Lao Peh has this habit of rotting in front of the television whenever he's back home).
We made a trip to Daiso where we ladies have a great time, with Lao Peh lamenting about how bored he is, that is, until he found the DIY section. Carefully going through the tools and examining each and every one of them meticulously, Lao Peh delicately placed two into the push cart. When he overheard that everything in Daiso is going at $2 each, the number of tools in the push cart multiplied themselves within seconds. Haha.
We then, had a OSIM day, or so I called it.
Lao Peh, satisfied with his new find.
Jie and Ah Bu, trying out the i-squeeze. Although Jie liked it, both Ah bu and myself found it a little painful. Blame it on our skinny and boney feet.
I returned to the other section of OSIM, and found Lao Peh in this state. Zzzzzzz..... After which he made me ride on the infamous horseback i-gallop... -_-'''

Matching Accessories
I bought an.............
i phone!!!
No lah! It's not for matching lah! But then again, I have to admit that the 2 gadgets work together seamlessly. Utterly compatible.
PS: Unlike what Jie assumes, Spidey didn't queued till midnight to get this for me. He worked smart. He reserved this 2 months back. *Sweetness*
It was a foodilicious day
I can't help it but take a picture of my dear Chef. He is just so seriously charming when he's cooking. =)
Chef Eric's creation. I think my Sony Ericsson W810i still takes brilliant pictures.
Heavenly inspired gems
Anyway, thanks to Chef Hiew, I had my 1st attempt at making mooncakes. Yes, he was patient enough to have me successfully 'mould' a mooncake!

Happy National Day
As usual, flights were delayed and arrivals were delayed due to the road closure. I was sitting in the office, trying to find some entertainment for myself when Andrew (my rooms division manager, who is also known as Ninja Turtle to me) called and asked me to join them at Room 1901.
It was then, that I love working on National Day. This was the view I got in the comfort of the hotel suite.
More pictures to follow I promise. This is from my phone. I took some beautiful ones of the aircraft show using the Nikon D70S. Didn't know I had hidden talents of photography. =)
My BIG Day
Spidey and Ah Zan organised a surprise birthday party for me at Sandman. Being a super controller, I always need to be kept in the loop of what's happening. I wanted a BBQ, which I already have informed Ah Zan and Gracie about. Something which Spidey is supposed to plan and didn't materialised.
What I got in the end was a surprise party with my LP mates, my babies during the recent advanced, my dearest Jie and even Ah Bian. This came as a complete surprise. They made it even more special with 'fugly' and I mean 'fugly' blown-up pictures of me, pasted all over the main door. How sweet. All thanks to the creativity of Ah Zan, and of cos Liying, for developing the pictures.
Spidey arranged a special spa trip at Batam the next day. It was a decent spa, situated at a row of ordinary looking shophouses. The treatment were pretty good and what I enjoyed most was the milk bath, where I get to immerse myself in that romantic setting accompanied with my all time favourite - ginger tea. It was of course, good for some quality couple time too. Happy.

My Song
Ruddy was supposed to send it to me ages ago but it wasn't done either.
And all it took was just 2 days after Advanced Graduation that YK, one of the 18 babies, burnt all the songs into a CD and there it is. My song. In that very CD, lying on my table. =)
And here's my para:
If I was unaware, if I didn't care
About people and places and things
How could I live a life full and satisfied
Now knowing how to dream
I was playing the CD in the car and Spidey commented how AW the car has become. Haha.
Happy National Day.

Kelly's Traveller Digest
Knowing my penchant for the ancient architecture, natural landscape and the undiscovered places, I have shortlisted 2 ulu places to visit:
- Borobudur at Yogyakarta, Centra Java
Where the largest Buddhist temple in the world is located. No, I am not a buddhist but I do enjoy the serenity and calmness that these ancient archaelogical structure brings me.

- Mount Bromo at Surabaya, East Java
A highly active volcano that may sound too dangerous to go near but yet is breathtakingly beautiful. Where else can I be overwhelmed with such magnificence?

As near as Indonesia may sound, the accommodation ain’t cheap at all. I was looking at the Aman Resorts and was taken aback by its hefty room rate of USD834 per room per night. Now I wished Spiderman is really Peter Parker in the movies….

Camp Vision 08
Dedicated to youth at risk from various foster homes and care centres, it was truly an inspiring experience.
In charged of the trust fall segment of the programme, I had chances to work these youth in an intimate way, sharing with them their dreams, their fears and obstacles. Many touched me deeply. Simple dreams such as ' I want my family to be back together again', 'I want to be a social worker', 'I want my family to be happy' affected me deeply. Looking into their eyes, sharing their dreams and being able to work with them on this, I was once again inspired to make my life worthwhile.
It was my 1st real attempt as a faciliator / trainer and I was initially afraid and scared that I won't be able to do a good job but I guess the saying was correct, if I go a 100%, that is already the best. Indeed. I went a 100% for the youth, baring my heart out to them.
Even though there were never enough food, rest and time with spiderman, I even had to take orders from spiderman, it was a weekend well spent.
Spiderman was excited and I was impressed at how he showed up as the head of programme. Yah, there will be minor details here and there that he missed out (so typical promoter) but I had to give him the credit that he was an inspirations for many of the youth - even when he was showing off his 'walking man' shuffle in front of them. For once, I took orders from him and obeyed him, even though I may not be pleased at times. This was the only time he had the opportunity to tell me off, and not let me have my ways. A classic example was when he told me off when I wanted to change out of my track shoes to slippers (slippers were not allowed during Day 2 programme) when my toes were hurting. Usually, he would be so anxious that he would loan me his slippers when my toes were hurting. It was difficult for me to digest initially. My boyfriend would never ever say no to me. But in this instance, he did. And I obediently listened.
Because of my work commitment, I had to leave on Sunday night instead of staying till Monday which was Youth day. I got spiderman to convey a message to my small group and he teared whilst doing that.
2 days of Camp Christine. 2 days with 100 youths. 2 days of not enough food nor rest. 2 days of stickiness on my body. 2 days of rough toughing out. 2 days of mud and dirt on my body. Whatever it was, it was 2 days well spent. I wouldn't think twice to volunteer for Camp Vision 09.

New journey
The bunch of us who got so addicted to playing the game, decided to create our own game this time round. It's another 3 months of playing, 3 months of hardwork but another 3 months of spectacular results.
The difference: As Graduate LPs, we are all going all out to play. Those who decided to play, will be playing to win.
I have been listening to Richard Marx's 'Ready to Fly' in the office these days. I just can't help reminiscing the beautiful journey I had in AW. It's amazing how fast time passes. I still recalled how reluctant I was to Basic when Jie wanted me to sign up. And now, I am a GLP myself, equipped with all the tools I need to survive and win.
This time round, it's a different journey. It's a journey of choice. I choose to play this journey. No fees paid, no seniors, no AW weekends. Just us. The 20 odd of us who are still around.
Well, as crazy as it can sound, I have sent in my letter of intention to staff the upcoming Advanced in September. It's the 1st leave that I will be taking from the company and it will be for Advanced, the one that holds me to who I am today.
I've always had wings. And now, I am ready to fly.
PS: It's been barely 2 months since I started this job and I am getting my performance reviewed. =)

LP74 WOW Day
With 200 kids and their family, I couldn’t figure out the common characteristic of these kids until I enquired with Steve. ‘They are terminally ill kids that are short-lived. Most of them don’t live past the age of 10 to 12 years old.’ It stroked a core in my heart.
The kids all looked healthy. It was until I saw the photographs of the pictures that we have taken earlier: their faces were really pale with dark undereye circles – something we don’t see very often in healthy kids.
They can’t travel overseas and can only be outdoors for a maximum of 4 hours. LP74 created 8 booths, featuring culture, souvenirs and snacks from different countries and each kid is given a passport and since these kids can’t travel the world in 80 days, we have them travel the world in the hall in 80min.
After dinner, we brought them to Sentosa where we all get to enjoy the Songs of the Sea. It wasn’t really the performance that warmed me, it’s my 2 ‘kids’ Xiao Wei and Jia Xuan. When they hugged me and told me that they really liked me, tears dwelled up in my eyes. Jia Xuan was even frantically looking for me when I stepped away to buy a drink from 7-11. The expression on their faces were just unparallel. It was truly a MasterCard moment.
My heart sank when Ruddy told me a piece of news. With us at the WOW day were a pair of twins whom the doctors diagnosed will not live past this week. All they really wanted was to watch the Songs of the Sea and we made it happen for them.
For every community service project that I’ve participated in, I’ve always gained something valuable. For this time round, it is to live life fruitfully. To go a 100% and make it worthwhile. Just because I get to live, these kids don’t.

Dream came true
I enrolled my wonderful small group mates and LP mates down. It was a hell of a evening. We had fun, ate plenty, drank plenty, and sing plenty.

Can't take that away - Mariah Carey
They can say,
Anything they want to say,
Try to bring me down,
But I will not allow anyone to succeed hanging clouds over me,
And they can try
Hard to make me feel that I,
Don't matter at all,
But I refuse to falter in what I believe or lose faith in my dreams
'Cause there's,
There's a light in me,
That shines brightly,
They can try,
But they can't take that away from me
From me
No no nooo
Oh they,
They can do
Anything they want to you,
If you let them in,
But they won't ever win,
If you cling to you pride, and just push them aside,
See I..
I have learned,
There's an inner peace I own,
Something in my soul that they can not possess
So I won't be afraid and the darkness will fade
'Cause there's,
There's light in me me,
That shines brightly, They can try,
But they can't take that away from me
No oh oh,
They can't take this
Precious love I'll always have inside me,
Certainly the Lord will guide me where I need to go
Woah, woah
They can say
Anything they want to say,
Try to bring me down,
But I won't face the ground,
I will rise steadily sailing out of their reach,
Oh, Lord, they do try,
Hard to make me feel that I,
Don't matter at all
But I refuse to falter
In what I believe or lose faith in my dreams,
'Cause there's a light in me,
That shines brightly

Result Check
Here are my 4 personal goals in LP:
- Financial
To get a job and clear my credit card bill
- Education
To submit two thesis for my BA (Comms & Mktg)
- Health
To stop smoking
- Relationship
To create a open, honest, loving & caring relationship with my family members
They said the goals were good because they covered different areas of my life.
Let's see what 2 weeks in LP has done for me:
- Financial
I've went for 5 interviews and got shortlisted for another 2 more positions. I've cleared so far, $2400 of credit card bills (mind you, this is really SOMETHING when you don't have a job and not depending on parents.)
- Education
I've registered myself for thesis submission and have submitted both proposals.
- Health
I've stopped smoking. Yes believe me, I have.
- Relationship
I now have intimate, fun & loving relationships with my family. Nope, I'm not stopping here. Am thinking of ways to WOW them further.
Well, 2 weeks in LP has definitely got me going on with things I never knew possible. Good start and I'm still going on. My favourite distinction: If it's to be, it's up to me.

My S-T-R-E-T-C-H
For a start, I spent 4 hours cooking a 3-course dinner for Boy. Well, I asked him out for a dinner at home... smiles. So here's the menu:
Seafood Mushroom Soup with Garlic Bread (Ok lah, the soup's from campbell lah but at least I made the garlic bread myself right?)
Buttered Spinach with mashed potato & sunny side-up (this is one of my favourite dish from Corduroy and it really is a very time-consuming dish. Simple yet complicated to make!)
My signature Spaghetti Aglio Olio with Buttered Pepper Prawns & Lemon Pepper Salmon.
We enjoyed our food, had a really good talk and never felt as connected to each other. Well, I've got my brother back after 26 years. Worth celebrating isn't it?
Right after washing the dishes, Boy sent me to the causeway where I took a risk of travelling to Kluang to look for Ah Bu & Lao Peh all by myself, at night. Ah Bu & Lao Peh totally freaked out when they realised that I was the only passenger in the coach from JB to Kluang. Drew gave me a good lashing as well. Oops. I didn't know it would be dangerous. I thought it was safe, well I'm still here ain't I? They called me 'crazy woman' to travel all the way to see them. Obviously they are very happy right?
Anyway, had Dim Sum brunch with my lovely mum & childish dad. Went shopping with them at the supermarket thereafter and it's really amusing to be able to see your parents argue like kids - what to buy and who said what and who's wrong, etc. They even argued about the bus fare when they were driving me to JB. It's heartwarming and it feels like family again.
I am so glad I chose this stretch.

It's my life!
Believe it or not, one of the most resistant person in my life about AW has finished her Sat of Basic. Tomorrow is her graduation!
I am so proud of her to make this choice. The best feeling of all is when she calls me during her Basic and thank me.
Zan, you don't have to thank me. Thank yourself for making this choice. Now you know where I've been coming from all along. I love you.

I am good enough
Drew just whispered this into my ear too when I was thinking of a title for today's post. So here I am ' I am good enough!' and I am officially a non-smoker!
It all makes perfect sense now. I now know why I can go anywhere without make-up and why the sudden urge of going back to the hotel industry! Cos I AM GOOD ENOUGH!!!
Anyway, Ah Zan walked in today. I am so proud of her! I can't wait to see her face on Sunday when she graduates!

Our commitment
Initially me & Drew were feeling really shitty. I was avoiding him the whole day. I even walked past him without looking at him. It stabbed him in the heart. Some of my LP mates came up to me and asked me to behave normally. Don't avoid Drew or not even speak to him. Just behave like normal LP mates. We just got to ensure that there's no funny business going on.
I was being selfish today. One of the LP mates came up to me and told me 'you guys shouldn't have broken the rules in the first place.' I was angry. I was angry with myself for persuading Drew to declare because he didn't want to do it initially. But Drew assured me that it's his choice to declare as well. He got stared at by a couple of people too. They were rolling their eyes at him. I could totally feel what he was experiencing.
We had a talk. Drew claimed there were no choices but I disagree. It was the best available choice at that point of time. We could have walked out of the LP. One of us could change LP. But we chose to stay in the same LP, and being committed to our stand.
If it's to be, it's up to me. Suresh is right. If it's real, 3 months is nothing. I told Drew that this is the final stage of the leader characteristic - fortifying. He agreed.
So now it's temporary goodbye to my beloved other half and welcome to my LP mate. I am committed to create this during my LP journey.

Bliss
Small little gestures nowadays gets me jumping for excitement.
Drew arranged a day of relaxation & rejuvenation at Holiday Inn Batam for me. How fortunate can I get...
And because of the vast difference in 'treatment', I am firm that I made a wise choice. Finally.
Iron Eggs Anyone?
I wanted 'iron eggs' and a bottle of Pinot Noir and probably Canadian Club from DFS but our dear friend came back with:
- more than 20 packets of 'iron eggs' in various flavours
- 2 bottles of Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir
- 6 bottles of Hoegaarden
- 1 bottle of Vodka
- 1 bottle of Canadian Club
- Sony Ericsson Bluetooth Headset cum MP3 player
3 big plastic bags all for me! Goodness!
Furfurangel, Drew has your 'iron eggs'. He will pass it to you himself. Can build relationship with you mah. Haha.
And my dear Fanatic3, do let me know which flavour you want for the 'iron eggs'. I have more than enough 'Ma-la' and spicy ones. Otherwise, I'll bring some over to AW during my 1st weekend this Fri.
Oh yah, I had a talk with Pauline (Meixiu, if you're reading this, you will know Pauline from LP49. Yes, she's my advance small group leader.) and she pointed out a few things again. Apparently, I love being my nerdy self. I'm still thinking that I'm not good enough and I'm still making choices based on others. It was never about me. A word of advice from Pauline that strucked me deeply. 'Always remember your position in lifeboat and the 'giver - taker' exercise. '
I couldn't sleep last night. Memories of work flashed back into my mind. Days in Raffles, Corduroy and Thumper. And I see the same pattern happening. I REALLY have a damn short attention span. Raffles was probably due to the fact that my job scope changed 3 times over the 4 years. I realise that my decision to go back Thumper was not because of myself. I was afraid that I will not be able to hit my DOE goals. I was afraid of uncertainty. I was doing it out of gratitude to Boon because of his many sarcifices to me. And I felt really uncomfortable going back there.
This morning, it popped into my head. I realised the real reason I wanted to go back was Boon. I was being nerdy again, telling myself I shouldn't disappoint him and that I should appreciate bosses like him. See, it's all about others again. I thought I would be selfish not to go back but when I thought about Pauline's advice, I realised that I needed to take care of myself. That was my nerdiness. I enjoy telling myself this story that I shouldn't be selfish, I should take care of others and in fact, I wasn't taking care of myself. Lifeboat and giver-taker sinks in again. Yes Meixiu, I was the top voter for Lifeboat and obviously a giver - that says so much about me isn't it?
I feel relieved. And now, time to work on that analysing muscle of mine. What job should I do?

Sleepy Eyes
And that icon that appears on your toolbar whenever someone signs onto MSN is irritating the shit out of me. I have been staring at that icon for the longest time now and my eyes are gonna give way anytime soon. And each time I thought he has finally came online, it turns out to be a case of mistaken identity. Andomo lah! His MSN nick is Andomo S and I kept associating it with Annderlu when I clearly knew that this is not his nick in MSN. It's some crappy long team spirit / team building shit.
I need sleep, I need cooling soups. I can seriously feel the pimples popping out from my face soon cos of the late nights and smokes. Then again, I need to smoke more. I'm left with 4 more days before my senior starts wringing my neck once my LP journey starts on Fri. And for better or worse, I just found out that Jerry is one of my LP senior. I'm so getting shit from him from Fri onwards.
ARGH! I am still staring at the icons. Why on earth would so many people sign in at this time of the night?!!!
I'm gonna kick Spiderman's ass when he returns tomorrow.
Promoter
Too bad Drew is out of town, I think he's a cross between promoter and supporter. No worries, I shall 'grill' him a little when he gets online so I'll have a better idea. Haha.
Apparently, this is what my analysis says:
Skillful with words, assertive and driving, but has a strong feeling for human relations and wants people's esteem. Tries to 'sell' self to highly respected people. Strong beginner, creative, takes initiative, but may be weak finisher. Finds details and follow-up unnatural and difficult. Thinks in quick, bold strokes. Needs job structure to be more effective, but resists it, preferring freedom from restrains and limits. Tends to be dramatic, both to entertain and to manipulate or convince. Takes pleasure in influencing others.
So true!!!!!!
Boon called me today and offer to shift the entire marketing team to Ong&Ong's office for me. I'm stunned but feel deeply appreciated. I have been MMing non stop and this has got to stop. I need analyzers to help me out. Going to call Rick tomorrow.
Drew is coming back tomorrow and I'm damn excited! He's gonna be so touched by what I did when he was away. And yes, I'm still living my contract - intentionally!

At Peace
I am glad that he is much stronger now and that he realised what he was doing to his own life previously. He is now responsible for his own life and the people around him.
I am proud. I just created what I wanted - an open, honest, trusting & loving relationship with all the men in my life, which includes him!
Take good care. You'll always be a friend that I care a lot for.
My nerdy self
I blamed him for hiding his feelings during the advanced course and not being authentic. I blamed him for the many things that he didn't do during the training. After venting out the frustrations, I realised how stupid I was. I was being nerdy!
He's smart. He chose to keep quiet because he realised I was 'bitten by the bug' and wanted me to realise my own nerdiness.
No wonder Brandon kept saying that we complement each other so well. We are gonna be so great together!

Scared
Then the scariest thing happened, Che confronted me and so we had a trashing session about whatever happened in the past. I thought everything was ok and that it was over until Kevin called me and told me what Che told him - He's planning how to get rid of me once I rejoined the company.
I was feeling so uncomfortable the whole of last night that I couldn't even enjoy myself at Clarke Quay. I called Drew in Taipei and spoke to Brandon on MSN. They are being supportive but it doesn't help much.
ARGH! I wish Drew is back ASAP. I need to talk to him. Anyway, I'm leaving for AW now. Got Mastery graduation to attend. David, Za & Jie are in it.
From a passionate, committed & loving man
This is his song to me:
Way Back Into Love
I've been living with a shadow overhead,
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed,
I've been lonely for so long,
Trapped in the past,
I just can't seem to move on!
I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away,
Just in case I ever need them again someday,
I've been setting aside time,
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind!
All I want to do is find a way back into love.
I can't make it through without a way back into love.
I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine,
I've been searching but i just don't see the signs,
I know that it's out there,
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere!
I've been looking for someone to shed some light,
Not somebody just to get me through the night,
I could use some direction,
And I'm open to your suggestions.
All I want to do is find a way back into love.
I can't make it through without a way back into love.
And if I open my heart again,
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end!
There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation
All I want to do is find a way back into love,
I can't make it through without a way back into love,
And if I open my heart to you,
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do,
And if you help me to start again,
You know that I'll be there for you in the end!

Advanced Course
Sunday, February 03, 2008
Random
I am amazed at how diligent I can get these days. I just cleaned the toilets. As in really cleaned. I spent a whole hour doing it. And now I'm immensely satisfied with the results. *beams*
Junk delivered food to me earlier. He is as usual damn sweet. I told him I love him and wanted to hug him and his reply to me was: 'Don't come AW me.' Hahaha. This is the most popular reply I've heard from everyone around me for the past week.
Ah Zan, Gracie & Feifeizhu are saying that I'm suffering from the AW poison. If only they know what exactly happened during the 5 days we're there. Quoted from Missy aka Brandon 'it's a miracle!' Now we understand why friends & relatives who has done AW sent us off in such a touching way. I can still recall Jie's facial expression when I was sitting in the room and her standing at the door, waving goodbye to me. It was comparable to parents sending their kids off to K1 or sending their son off to Army. Argh! I miss my basic!
I spoke to Rick. And yes again, on MSN. (Jerry is so gonna kill me.) We arranged to have coffee after CNY.
Jie is going through her 2nd weekend at LP now. I'm worried if she can take it till the 3rd weekend. I told her the other night that I love her.
SB 74 First Outing
I told Captain I was demoralised and they made it happen for me. We had 20 adults + 2 kids who showed up!
We had steamboat at Beach Road followed by KTV at Kallang Leisure Park.

Guest Event
Being committed, I called so many people and thank you to those who came. Thank you Patrick, Lawrence & Junk. Especially Lawrence because he rushed his way down from Malaysia. And Amiko, although you didn't show up, I hope you can make it for the next guest event.
It was good seeing the big 'family' again. AW has indeed changed my life. Jie told me that she looked up to me and that I'm her inspiration now. And of course, naturally, tears flowed when we were sharing again. Mum called too and she was happy to hear about the transformation. So much so that she even suggested us to bring Boy for the course! Haha.
Thank you Junk. Thank you for showing up today and being so open about it.
And guess what, Kay told me that I'm displaying qualities of LP even though I'm only in Basic. I also heard from one of the small group leaders that Basic74 is a tremendously fast moving group, and the most fun!

Salsa Night
About 8 to 10 of us from AW showed up. Anyway, we had fun and yes, we are still all very talkative. Still discussing about the course and excited about advanced.
I spoke to Furfurangel just now. I shared with her how AW changed our lives. The quiet ones came out talkative. The bo chap ones came out passionate. The bored ones came out fun. That's the difference. I'm glad Ryn, Junk & Zan are going for my guest event tomorrow. And Furfurangel, you'd better keep your promise to attend the next guest event.

Post ALI
Anyway, I had the longest MSN conversation with him. I shared. With emotions & tears. And I felt the connection. We are now so much more connected as compared to before. I gave up maintaining my image and being right.
Advanced Living Interview
HP has been ringing non stop since morning cos all the basic mates are calling and texting. Everyone is on a adrenaline rush! I got a little low today cos of the choice I need to make regarding work and no accident again, Sharon called me! She saw something I couldn't see and then my emo shoot way up! I made my stand and handled the things I need to. Boon got so shocked that he started googling about AW! Haha.
And no accident again, the AW basic team had a Salsa gathering... at Thumper! Hahaha.
Anyway, he called me today to check on my emotions. I am glad he called.
I hugged my dad today and told him I love him.

AW Basic
I've gained really close friends like Brandon (my buddy!), Federick (my Belgium Godpa) and Derek.
Jie came for my graduation. As usual, we burst into tears when we saw each other. I made a few phone calls to him during my breaks, asking him to come. He kept telling me 'if you see me, you see me. If you don't, you don't.' When I opened up my eyes, I saw Jie standing in front of me and right behind her, a mere 1m away was him. I cried when I was hugging him. He came. And I made a choice. Brandon made me take a big risk. I was honest and told him how I felt. Yes Zan, I did. And I'm very proud.

Specially for you
I missed you.
I missed spending weekends with you. To the library, to your place for project and midnight movies thereafter.
I missed you calling me baby and me calling you darling.
I missed you being there wherever I go.
I missed others calling us 'buy 1 get 1 free'.
I missed sleeping on your bed, cuddling the stupid donkey I bought for you years ago.
I missed the roses you bought for me during Valentine's Day.
I missed the peeping tom shit we did in Bintan.
I missed the body ache and leg pain after our shopping spree in Bangkok.
I missed the fortnight night out at China Bar back then when we will drool over John.
I missed the same bag, slipper, coin purse, singlet that we both have.
I missed the dinner every Sat at your place.
I missed watching the SCV at your living room and laughing by myself.
I missed all the tears, sorrows, joy and happiness we shared.
I miss you. Goh Hui Geng.
AW Basic
Jie, I think I made your money worth. Your dear sister me is on time everyday and from every break!
Anyway, I'm doing what Uncle Rick & Uncle Phillip told me to. 'The more you share, the more you gain.' So guess what, I shared a lot. I told them my pathetic life story. Haha.
Anyway Zan, here's something for you. I got this pic of the wedding support team from Jerry's friendster. See for yourself and guess the person. *wink*

Soulmate
I told Patrick everything. The truth. The real story. The missing truth that Jie & Zan has been probing me about. It feels so good now. It feels good when you let it all out. At least someone out there knows about it. At least someone out there knows how to consol me if anything.
I'm looking forward to my AW basic training next week. And my dear friend has volunteered to be my chauffeur throughout the entire week. Thank you Patrick.

I danced
Finally, for once. I clubbed. Really clubbed. And danced. Even Zan who have not danced for the longest time, danced with me!~
To Cherine - Thanks for the night darling. And finally, good Greygoose vodka!
To my boys:
David S - Happy Birthday tall freak!
Daniel J - It was a top I was wearing, not a dress! And yes, I will remember to watch you guys on Deal or no Deal.

NYE Mayhem
Sorry guys, didn't have the time to post it up (or rather, didn't logged onto blogger to do so). Anyways, here's NYE.
Fi & I are both blaming the fatal vodka shots! Nice, sweet tasting but damn fatal! I did a Merlion in the middle of the BKE. Sorry Ross, I made your car smelled like Apple Sour! Haha.

My Xmas
So here goes my Xmas:
1. A fanatic-3 pre Xmas dinner
Isa couldn't make it so it's the 3 of us. Too bad everyone had to leave earlier. I promised Dee I will be at Mimolette too. Zan, you were too busy taking pics of us, you missed yourself out.
2. Xmas eve dinner
I almost bought the entire supermarket home. Was happily throwing everything into my trolley and whistling to Xmas carols until it hit me how heavy the stuff were. I suffered from severe backache the day after. Anyway, I cooked. BIG time. Zan couldn't believe and thought I lugged everything back from the supermarket. It's freshly-made ok!!!
Let's see what I made: Grilled striploin with milk sauce, apple & potato waldorf salad, mixed greens with vinaigrette, spaghetti aglio olio, honey baked ham & roasted pork knuckles! Ok lah, so the pork knuckles & ham came ready made...
We (Bian, Zan, Jie & Thomas) spent the night wining, dining and talking till morning... Nice.

Recuperation
Initially wanted to go Hanoi but it would burst my budget. The airfare was a good $300 difference. Like I said, backpacking trip. And that means budget, budget & budget.
I also thought about taking up Rhumba dance classes. It's something I wanted to do for the longest time now.
And what about finishing my advanced course in Landmark Education. Furfurangel, what do you think?
Maybe I should go back to doing my yoga. What about jogging in the middle of the night?

For you
"Blind" - Lifehouse
I was young but I wasn't naive
I watched helpless as he turned around to leave
And still I have the pain I have to carry
A past so deep that even you could not bury if you tried
After all this time
I never thought we'd be here
Never thought we'd be here
When my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you'll ever know
A part of me died when I let you go
I would fall asleep
Only in hopes of dreaming
That everything would be like it was before
But nights like this it seems are slowly fleeting
They disappear as reality is crashing to the floor
After all this time
I never thought we'd be here
Never thought we'd be here
When my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you'll ever know
A part of me died when I let you go
After all this why
Would you ever wanna leave it
Maybe you could not believe it
That my love for you was blind
But I couldn't make you see it
Couldn't make you see it
That I loved you more than you will ever know
A part of me died when I let you go
That I loved you more than you'll ever know
A part of me died when I let you go
Sadist
Why do we always hit our heads with hammers? Because it feels so good when you stop.
I think I am done hitting myself. It's time to feel good.

Intimacy
Is intimacy really that scary? I thought intimacy is good? Well, I have to agree that the closer you are to someone, the worst it'll hurt if something happens right? But then again, why didn't anyone thought of the good part? Like how intimacy can bring 2 strangers together. How intimacy can bring the best out of someone or how intimacy can change a person or how intimacy can bring about the happiest moments in your life.
For me, I love intimacy. I love it when I know that there is someone out there constantly thinking of me. I love it when I know that there is someone who will kiss me goodnight and tuck me to bed every night. And the very fact that that someone will do whatever it takes to bring a smile across my face. Intimacy is good. And I'm enjoying it.

I'm having a good time trying to finish up Season 2 of Grey's Anatomy.
Am finally going shopping with Gracie today. Tomorrow would be dinner and Martell event with the BA (bimbo alliance). Friday would be dinner with my dearest Fanatic 4.
Thank God I have a life.

Kind souls ain't worth anything (2)
I put in my heart & soul for you. I sloughed an average of 16 hours per day, 6 days a week for you. When I’m broke, I drew from my credit card, to pay for the huge expenses incurred. Even when I’m sick, I showed up, completing everything that I need to.
After all these effort and hardwork, you are now accusing me of things. Things that I’ve not done. Things that I’m not even aware of. Just because it’s convenient? I’m disappointed. You reassured me that my decision to leave is a wise choice.

Blogging again
So anyways, I'm back (hopefully). Will make a concerted effort to blog again though.
Well well, let's start. Where did I leave at the last time? Thumper's opening. Yes.
Work's still the same. Busy like nobody's business. Thankfully I got myself a new assistant. A fast learner and a hard worker. Praise the Lord! Then again, I guess it's time for me to move on. I know what you're thinking. SO FAST RIGHT? Not really. It's probably the hours that has taken a load on me. Haven't been feeling well recently. The old signs are appearing out of nowhere again. Backache. Migraine. And as much as I would want to rest well, I just cannot afford the time to. It's a daily fire fighting business back in the office. Anyway, yes, I'm moving on soon. Have spoken to the bosses about it several times, only to be told to reconsider. But now that my health is deteriorating, I guess it's time to put a stop and do a check at my lifestyle. The hours are just too abnormal. I know exactly what you guys will say. 'Kel, your health has always been bad. You should start taking care of yourself.' Some of you will go 'You should start exercising and you should cut down on your smoking...' Yes, I am well aware. But if you know me that well, you will also remember that I will always (unintentionally) forget my meals or overlook the time when I'm busy. 'Focused is always good but overworking is not.' - laments the people around me.
Anyway, to cut the long story short. (pardon me for a while, my last post was more than a month ago leh!) I'm leaving for Melbourne with him. My intention was to take a break for a month or so, to recuperate. But he's thinking otherwise. His aunt has even found me a job there! Is that fast or what? I will be throwing in my letter next week and if all goes well, we should be heading back in early Dec. Will keep you folks updated.
That's it! It's 3.21am now and I need to rest.

Tired
It has been a hectic month. Tons of deadline, tons of work to be done, tons to follow up. It’s never ending.
If only I could have a day with a full 8 hour sleep. If only I could have a weekend all to myself without my mobile ringing. If only I could leave the office one day like a normal office worker. If only I could just work 8 hours a day. If only I could rest a day when I’m sick without a thousand phone calls. If only I could take a day off to relax & rejuvenate without having to face the hundreds of emails the day after.
Tired.

My Sweet25!
First, darling surprised me with a bouquet of roses delivered to the office the day before.
Then, my dearest managers went around telling guests that it was my birthday and not surprisingly, I had to drink a LOT of cognac straight ups. By 12mn, all managers & band members were already surrounding me, popping champagne, singing birthday songs. I had no darn idea what happened but I was singing & dancing on stage with my band in front of all the customers! And lulu had everything videotaped. How nice...
Left for MOS at 12plus. Trust me, I am so not going back MOS for the next 2 years. Being extremely intoxicated, I walked into the club saying hi to EVERY stranger that walks past me!!!! Holding onto a bouquet of flowers, Lulu told me the next day that I was literally behaving like a Ms Universe who had just won her crown! *Embarassed*
Anyway, I puked. Badly. In the taxi. On the flowers. In my Tiffany&Co paperbag that had darling's present to me in it! He threw everything away except for the necklace of course.
Nicky boi bought me lunch at Brasserie Wolf (the mussels are to die for!) and I had dinner with my girls at Mimolette.




Then it was all party whole night at Thumper! And yes, another performance of mine on stage.



Don't ask me why girls, but our pictures are all on Thumper's website!!!!

Sweet 25
Meant for the Fanatic4:
I want a new namecard holder. I lost, for the gazillion times now, my namecard holder again! I’ve already told Ah Zan what I wanted. Gracie, Ah Zan & me will very soon, have the same brand of namecard holder. Haha
Friday, July 13, 2007
Late nights
Sorry for the lapse in my postings. It's been crazeh!!! I'm working from 9am to 2am almost everyday, rushing to open the outlet in time.
Gracie has been complaining that I'm not even replying to her messages and Koochie is lamenting to me every night about spending quality time together. I even forgot our dinner date because I totally lost track of time and ended up working till 1am yesterday.
2 more weeks. Just give me 2 more weeks. I need to make sure everything is ok before I can rest my mind. And I'll make sure I take a day off to the beach with you ok?
Anyway, work was worthwhile because I get dinner & supper delivered to my office.
Thank you for being so understanding. Love ya.

Opening
The bar's opening on Monday for a dry run, followed by pre-registration parties for the rest of the month. It is one BIG chaotic mess now. Everybody's panicking about their own area and the bosses are putting on pressure. Nevertheless, I'm still enjoying myself.. the cocktail tastings... the light & sound testings... and I absolutely love the fact that Andomo specially spins Electrohouse when testing the equipments.
The reno's 95% completed. And trust me, it is looking REALLY good. Don't worry people, most of you are already in the list for the pre-registration parties (Nic boi boi, Gracie, Ah Zan, Feifeizhu, Furfurangel, Antonius, Adel, etc.)
I'm toying with the idea of buying my own bottle at staff price (if there are any) and keeping it in the bar. I really think it's gonna be the next place to see and be seen. Nasen dropped by today and he was impressed too. This will be Didi's hangout from now onwards cos we have chambord in the house!!!

All by myself....
Darling picked me up from Wine Garage after my brunch and we ended back at Mimo again. Was working off my laptop the entire day, scenery was not too bad though.
It was fully booked at the restaurant but Mich said that darling reserved a table for me for dinner. It's true lah. I ended up having dinner there.. All by myself.. How pathetic. A nice table at a fanciful restaurant with just.. one table setting...

We're moving!
Now I can shop to my heart's content during lunch time, feast on the myriad of delicious goodies and even do my mani / pedi! Kekekeke.

Commitment Phobia
Ah Zan told me that there was a saying, "together for a year and engaged for a year" which translates to a minimum of 2 years. After seeing my failed engagement with D, ah bu told me not to drag it further. "Give it a good 1, 2 years and you can get married. No point being together for too long and it doesn't work out. Complete waste of time."
I asked Holman why he decided to marry Grace. Is it because of love? Once again, he blew my mind off by highlighting the fact that most of us do love the other party whenever we are in a serious relationship. How many serious relationship can there be in your life? The lucky ones have one. Most of us have a couple. And does that mean that you'll have to marry each and every one of them? He's right. I once loved my first boyfriend of 2 years. I once loved D and thought we could be together for life. And, I also once love Liebling as well. OK, fine - I had 3. And the very difference why he chose to marry Grace and not the others is simply because he KNEW he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. He KNEW he wanted to see that same face when he wakes up every morning. Sweet.
I asked Gracie why she chose to get married. She told me that she found a man who loves her more than anyone else and she KNEW that he'll continue to love her and be there for her for the rest of her life. Lucky her. How many of us can be sure of that? Having said that, I should have got married to D back then isn’t it? Well, he’s one man I KNEW back then too, that will love me and be there for me for the rest of my life. I also KNEW that he loves me more than anyone else. But then again, why didn’t I marry him?
After seeing failed relationships and marriages among my friends, I had doubts too. The couple who once swore upon their life on the marriage ends up separated too. The couple that spend a good nine years together broke up too. It’s simply a rat race that everyone gets themselves into isn’t it?
A couple meets. They get together. After a couple of years when things go stale. They figured that a marriage could make things work. After a few years into marriage, things turn bad. They figured that a baby could liven it up. The circle just continues.
Am I being too cynical here? I once had a major commitment phobia issue. Yes, that explains why men’s shelf life to me is only 3 months. I chose not to commit. I chose to keep my options open. I chose to leave when the men gets too needy. My life to me was just my life. It doesn’t have to involve another person. Well, D came along but I was still the same – it’s just that it lasted a lot longer as compared to the rest. I rejected D’s proposal twice in our relationship of 4 years. I just, wasn’t ready. I was ready for commitment then but not ready for marriage.
Call me old fashion or traditional or whatsoever. I believe that a marriage is sacred. I believe that a marriage is for life. I’m not the kind who will throw in the towel when something screws up in a marriage. I fight. I endure. I will do whatever I can, to sustain the marriage or family. That’s me. And precisely because I know myself too well, I’m just so afraid of marrying the wrong person. Because I know, no matter what happens, I will stick through it until the very end. Ok, the only exception is abusive behaviour, gambling addict or infidelity. I still love myself no matter what and I know what I do or do not deserve.
I was so close to getting married 2 years ago. One by one, my friends are exchanging their vows. Is it peer pressure? Or is it because I am ready for marriage? I told myself that I will not screw it up another time. The next guy that comes along will be one lucky fellow. And I said to myself that I want to get married with the next person I fall in love with – Don’t worry. I don’t fall in love easily. I can’t even say I love you to most of my ex boyfriends. It took me a good 2 years before I can really tell D that I loved him.
I wanted to get married. I wanted to settle down soon. But now that it’s all nearing. I’m scared. Is this what you consider a commitment phobia or a pre-marital phobia? He had plans months ago. He KNEW what he wanted. He KNEW that he will marry me. He KNEW that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. He KNEW that he was sure about everything. But I don’t know
Seeing him all geared up, sharing with me plans about our future. I don’t know what to say. The engagement ring, registering for a house, introducing me as his fiancée, telling everyone that we’re getting married next year… I’m speechless.
I love him I do. But I don’t know if I’m ready for marriage now. Yes I told him before we got together that I’m not looking for a boyfriend but a husband instead. But I can’t take my words back now for sure.
I guess Holman is right afterall. Give it year. There’s nothing to lose. We’ll speak again next year.

We shall try...
Both of us woke up bloody early at 7am and arranged to meet at 8am to go work. I boarded the cab at 8.05am and reached Luann's place at about 8.15am. We were supposed to reach office at 9am - which we, by right still have plenty of time.
It was 8.55am and we were still at..... Upper Thomson Road!!! Can you imagine this??? 45 mins in the taxi for a mere 2 train stops away. We decided to drop at Yio Chu kang and take the train instead. Every freaking place in Singapore is jammed this morning!!! Right from our door steps!
This is total embarassement but we paid $20 for a cab ride from Sembawang to Yio Chu Kang that took us one full hour! And we reached office at 10am!
We shall.. no matter how hard it is, encourage each other and be there for each other as we take the train to work every morning from tomorrow onwards.... sobz...

Love = Faith
Joy brought me to her church that evening – something she wanted to do for the longest time now. And yes, we went. It’s call the Heart of God or something like this.
Anyway, I just wanted to share something that the pastor shares. Nope. Nothing religious to that sort. It’s real and very true. The topic was on: LOVE.
Abstract of the sermon:
- To love someone, you must have faith. Without faith, you are unable to love someone. It’s true. How can you love someone when you have doubts or fears? When you love someone, you are vulnerable. It’s human nature to hate being vulnerable so we guard ourselves in order not to get hurt. And when you guard yourself, how are you able then, to love someone wholeheartedly? That’s why it requires faith to love. When you really truly love someone, you open up your heart with the possibility that they will hurt you. But because you love them, you do it with faith that they will never do it. That’s why love & faith are twins.
- The strength & motivation of fear & insecurity is selfishness. When you fear something, or feel insecure about something, it’s because of selfishness. You fear that your bf will cheat on you, because YOU don’t want to get hurt. You fear of public speaking because YOU don’t want to get embarrassed. You always fear of something because YOU don’t want to get into some kind of situation. That’s why fear & insecurity all boils down to selfishness.
- Have faith. Even if you do not have faith in that person that you love. Love that person because you have faith in God that he will make all things good. Even if he does hurt you, have faith that God will compensate you in other aspects of your life. And compensation is usually ten times more than what you lost.
I teared several times during the service. It was a good sermon. It touched me deep down in my heart and I felt the reality in it. Am intending to bring Yogi bear there the next time round.

AFTER
Located at Murray Street, this small lane just opposite Maxwell Market, Ah Ma Lor Ba has only started business no more than 3 months ago. I spoke to the owner Allan and he mentioned that all the meat are braised in claypot using charcoal. Yum. How authentic and traditional can that get. No worries for those who don't like fatty meat, there are a good selection of others such as duck and chicken as well. The best part, they include all the offals as well! If not for the fact that we were rushing for time, I would have taken my time to savour the braised duck tongue and chicken feet!

K Session
Last night was supposed to be ladies night at the cannery but Zan lured us to a KTV pub so we ended up at Alan's. Finally - an opportunity to satisfy that overdue craving of ours!! Woohoo!!!
darling furfurangel (after 7 stouts - sweetie, your blood is not AB+, its ABC!)

my dearest assistant Silvia
It was nice. A long overdue session - although I only sang 4 songs, of which one was Christine's cos she wasn't around, at least I managed to satisfy that K & beer craving of mine. *Happiness*

The risk I take
For example, (Kor, correct me if I am wrong) Bluechip funds are considered a low risk fund but its returns may take ages to get that little amount. On the other hand, futures’ returns are a lot higher and a lot faster but the chances of you losing everything on hand overnight is highly possible too.
Are you a risk taker then? I once told Zan that if you’ve never fallen off a bicycle, you’ll never learn how to ride one. If you’ve never burn yourself before, you’ll never know playing with fire is dangerous. Likewise, you’ll never learn how to love someone until you’ve fallen out of love before.
Have you ever wonder how it would feel like to throw everything into a high risk situation, in order to gain higher returns? That’s living life in fear and insecurity isn’t it?
Putting Liebling aside, for once in my life, I told myself to be a good gf. I promised myself that I will be, the best gf anyone could possibly have. I wanted to be good. I wanted to be decent. I wanted to be faithful. I wanted to be understanding. But on the other hand, for the 1st time in my life, it’s scaring the shit out of me!
“I’ve never been so good in my entire life and it’s scaring the shit out of me. Is there something wrong with me?” I asked Holman last night. “Take it slow. You’re obviously not ready. Give it a year and see how it goes.” Rajesh nodded his head in agreement.
High risk still equals to high returns. We just gonna wait for a year to figure that out.
We continued our liquid diet.

My many marriages
PB: All men are fucking bastards lah. The only good ones are all taken.
K: Wah. Like that say I also kena shoot leh.
PB: The only exception I guess it's you lor.
K: Of cos. You should know how much I love you.
PB: Maybe I should just marry you instead.
K: When do you want to get married?
PB: Initially I wanted 28. Now it's the earlier the better. Hahahaha. Maybe next year?
K: By then if you are single still, I'll marry you.
PB: At least I know that if I marry you, I'll be well taken care of.
K: I thought it's the other way around?
PB: Huh? What do you mean? Well, at least I know that you'll really take good care of me and that you'll be a very loving husband.
K: I'll gladly be.
PB: But then you will be suffering lah.
K: Why?
PB: I don't do housechores. I spend $ like crazy. I want to be chauffered around and I don't want to work!
K: Wah... In that case, I'll have to be rich first before I can marry you.
PB: Faintz.
And this reminds me of the many 'agreements' I had with a couple of my close buddies when I was still in my teens. If I am still single at the age of 30, I'm supposed to marry Nicky Boi. And Kev. And Kenny. And .... Wow... That's a lot of men to marry.

I'm sick
Was suffering from backache for the past 4 days. So bad that I had to put a towel underneath my back to sleep at night. It was so bad that I can hardly walk. The last draw was when I started shivering in the office when everyone's perspiring.. really bad sign. Went to the company doc opp office and my temperature was a freaking 39degrees celsius!! Things were apparently really very bad. Doc wrote me a referral letter to Gleneagles Hospital for a thorough check-up.
Yup. Went to Gleneagles today. Spend 3 freaking hours there. Conducted countless tests. You name it. X-ray. Ultrasound. Blood test. Urine test. Culture test. Everything possible there lah! And trust me, this is the most expensive doc I've ever seen in my entire freaking life!!!! The damage today was $700!!! F**K man!But then again, the doctor told me that I'm definitely gonna get cured. So I guess it's worth it isn't it?

I'm a non-smoker.
1. I smoke AT LEAST 20 sticks a day. 100% more than what I smoked 6 months ago.
2. When running out of smokes, I go through all my bags (mind you, i have quite a fair bit) in search of cigarette boxes, hoping that I can find a stick or 2 that was left behind & forgotten. If that fails, I go through all the cupboards and drawers at home, including my lao peh's.
3. I will resort to smoking any cigarette no matter how yucky it tastes. I smokes menthol lights. Lao Peh smokes that freaking horrid Gudang Garum. And yes, i'm not kidding. I resort to smoking that at times when I am out. And it became a few, actually no. It became a lot of packets that I took from his drawer.
4. If all else fails, I will walk a 10min out. To the nearest 24 hour coffeeshop across my place to grab a packet.
Isn't that losing control?
With the mindset that I'm losing control over myself. Ok lah, I was also feeling down that day lah. I called Jennifer (from Grey Matter Networks) and arranged for a session with her to quit smoking - actually, it's more of gaining back control in my life.
And this is how I started my hypnotheraphy session... (Hypnotheraphy: the use of hypnosis in a therapeutic context. Some call it clinical works).
After attending 2 full sessions (each lasting about 1 hour 30min), these are the changes:
- Smoking now becomes a choice. I no longer feel the urge to smoke. I don't even have cravings to smoke anymore. And when I pick up a stick of cigarette now, it's because I want to, not because I have to.
- Several days have passed. And I'm proud that I'm smoking about 5 sticks a day. NO NO NO!!! It's not that I'm still a smoker. These 5 sticks are being offered to me and I smoked just for companionship sake. You know what I mean...
- Smoking no longer takes control of my life. But I do. It may sound a little absurb. But I do feel a lot more positive and happier after the session. I am now back in control and things around me just kept getting better.
Thanks Jennifer, for your help. For helping me got rid of that smokes dependency and of course, making me feel so good about myself. Thank you.

Thank you for not marrying me
After 4 years of ups and downs, fights & sweetness, tears & joy, I finally accepted his proposal. But just 6 months before our ROM, he postponed it, called it off and eventually, broke up with me.
For years, I blamed him for cheating my feelings. For years, I questioned his integrity for breaking up with me and then finding a rebound just the day we ended. I hated what he did to me. I hated the devastation he has caused me. I blamed him. For years.
Life goes on and we go through many experiences every other day after that made us realise, reflect, learn and grow from the past. Just today. Today. I finally figured out why he left. And I thank him. I sincerely thank him. No, not that he's never told me the truth before. He did. Many times indeed and we are friends now still. It's just that his words never sank into me because I never really understood what he meant.
" I love you a lot. In fact, you're probably the only woman I've ever loved so much in my entire life. I really wanted to marry you. That was what I wanted to do all these years and I was happy when you were finally ready. But when we were getting closer to our wedding date, I realise that it was a mistake. I figured that as much as I really love you, I couldn't spend the rest of my life with you." Ambiguous I know it sounds. And I passed it off as a statement, since we have both moved on.
Finally. As I spoke to Aunty Poh during coffee today after visiting Granny, she made me realise something I never did. A simple question: What happened between you and your 4 year bf? I ponder for a while and I answered her: It was my fault.
Yes. Don't be surprised. (I'm pretty sure Grace will definitely disagree given the fact that I was a well-behaved and nice gf - well, towards the end when we were preparing for the big day.) I am telling you guys now. That it's entire my fault. And I finally realise the meaning behind those words he said to me.
Yes. He loved me. He really really did loved me. The pain of breaking up was so hard & intense for him that he needed a rebound to forget about me. Yes, it's one of the stupidest thing to do but knowing D, this is the shortest way to recovery. And I dun blame him for it. He needed a rebound. Without that, he would have probably gone bonkers.
And now. The truth. To be honest, I was not a good gf. In fact, I was one of the worst gf anyone could possibly get - in the past lah i meant!! I was demanding and unreasonable. Or rather, super unreasonable. I was super hot tempered and a spendthrift. I was self-centered and selfish. I was self-opinionated and arrogant. I had a super good catch who loves me dearly and dotes on me tons but I was still keeping my options open. I continue to club with my gfs and continue to play with the many men in my life. Of course, there are good sides to me too lah. But honestly, the dark side played a bigger part in the relationship.
D was a flirt and a major big time MCP before he met me. He changed and gave it to me. He submitted himself to me and loved me like there's no tomorrow. He knew exactly what I was doing outside the relationship and saw how I treated him shabbily. He kept quiet. And endured. And continued praying for a miracle, hoping that I will be touched by his love. It went on. I treated him the same way and he loved me the same way... for more than 3 years. It was only when I got caught red-handed that I stopped and mellowed down. And that was when I started changing and he proposed.
Honestly, D. Thank you for not marrying me. Thank you for fearing that I won't change for the better and that history will repeat itself. Thank you. Because now that I think about it, I would have done the same. It ain't easy to look at the silverlining when it's been raining for way too long.

Nicing
my half-completed living room

Ah bu's budget was 2k for a sofa and a new sound system. But ah boy splured everything on a sofa set, coffee table, side table, a rug & a lamp. Excluding the TV bench and stereo system we still need to get!! Ah bu will definitely faint... "Just $500 more" Ah boy told me last night, to complete the entire look.
I seriously feel that a nice small chandelier will complete everything. Ex man.

Exhilarating experience..
I tried sitting on Romi's little vespar the other day. He was riding at about 40km/h, just touring the area in front of C&F. And I ended up grabbing his shoulder so tight that everyone laughed.
Yesterday, I went a little bolder. I accepted Chef Ronnie's offer to send me to Corduroy Cafe - in his damn cool bike lor!

-_-''' nerve wrecking experience....

10 things happy couples do - Mark Goulston, M.D.
Happy couples know that the real relationship begins when the honeymoon is over. They know that unless you maintain the garden of love, its beauty will wither and die. Now discover the 10 things that happy couples do:
1. Go to bed at the same time.
Remember the beginning of your relationship, when you couldn't wait to go to bed with each other to make love? Happy couples resist the temptation to go to bed at different times. They go to bed at the same time, even if one partner wakes up later to do things while their partner sleeps.
2. Cultivate common interests.
After the passion settles down, it's common to realize that you have few interests in common. But don't minimize the importance of activities you can do together that you both enjoy. If common interests are not present, happy couples develop them. At the same time, be sure to cultivate interests of your own; this will make you more interesting to your mate and prevent you from appearing too dependent.
3. Walk hand in hand or side by side.
Rather than one partner lagging or dragging behind the other, happy couples walk comfortably hand in hand or side by side. They know it's more important to be with their partner than to see the sights along the way.
4. Make trust and forgiveness your default mode.
If and when they have a disagreement or argument, and if they can't resolve it, happy couples default to trusting and forgiving rather than distrusting and begrudging.
5. Focus more on what your partner does right than what he or she does wrong.
If you look for things your partner does wrong, you can always find something. If you look for what he or she does right, you can always find something, too. It all depends on what you want to look for. Happy couples accentuate the positive.
6. Hug each other as soon as you see each other after work.
Our skin has a memory of "good touch" (loved), "bad touch" (abused) and "no touch" (neglected). Couples who say hello with a hug keep their skin bathed in the "good touch," which can inoculate your spirit against anonymity in the world.
7. Say "I love you" and "Have a good day" every morning.
This is a great way to buy some patience and tolerance as each partner sets out each day to battle traffic jams, long lines and other annoyances.
8. Say "Good night" every night, regardless of how you feel.
This tells your partner that, regardless of how upset you are with him or her, you still want to be in the relationship. It says that what you and your partner have is bigger than any single upsetting incident.
9. Do a "weather" check during the day.
Call your partner at home or at work to see how his or her day is going. This is a great way to adjust expectations so that you're more in sync when you connect after work. For instance, if your partner is having an awful day, it might be unreasonable to expect him or her to be enthusiastic about something good that happened to you.
10. Be proud to be seen with your partner.
Happy couples are pleased to be seen together and are often in some kind of affectionate contact -- hand on hand or hand on shoulder or knee or back of neck. They are not showing off but rather just saying that they belong with each other. Special Notes : Even if these actions don't come naturally, happy couples stick with them until they do become a part of their relationship. They know that it takes 30 days for a change in behavior to become a habit, and a minimum of six months for a habit to become a way of life and love.
I thank God for us.

I'm sorry. You're late.
Then on 5th Jan, the same fellow smsed me another New Year greeting sms. And what puzzled me was how he addressed me: Dear. Dear??? Who the hell is this and where on earth would someone sent a New Year sms on the 5th of Jan? A bit too late right? Obviously this person is waiting for a response from me. I called back. It was an overseas ringing tone. The person picked up and it turned out to be the most unexpected person: Liebling.
I was shocked. I was stumped. I was embarassed because I asked who he was.... I deleted his number remember? SHIT!!!! I was cordial to him but he said I sounded cold. Honestly, what would you expect? I waited a good 6 months for just one phone call but it didn't happen. But now, it's all too late.
Pureblondie: I've got something to tell you.
Liebling: Yah?
PB: I'm attached.
L: *Silence*
PB: Did you hear me?
L: *Silence*
PB: Hello? You still there?
L: Yah I heard you. Good. I'm happy for you. *Silence again*
And the rest? They are history now. I'm proud of myself.
Still down...

The Perfect One
When you're out there looking for that perfect person keep these things in mind. People change, no matter how hard they try not to. As you grow older you mature, and with each new level of maturity come different ideas, different needs and wants. The person who was perfect for you at twenty could be the person you hate when you're thirty-five. You have to find some one who will grow with you, change with you, laugh with you and cry with you. A person who fills in where you lack, a person whom you can fill in for when they are lacking. But what about the perfect person, you ask? They do not exist. There are no perfect people, only people who are perfect for each other.

My Xmas Wish List
In case my dear friends out there have any problem finding me presents, here's my list:
- Some electrical store voucher. Yes! I seriously mean it. I'm not turning any housewife but I badly need a new vacuum cleaner. Ah bu's only back once in a month at most and me, my goodself, Kelly, Blondie, etc.. have to do the housechores!! Sobz... A electrical store voucher hor. thanks!
- Bags. Although I own more than a few dozen bags and have thrown away another few dozens the past year, I will never think that it's more than enough. Or rather, it's never enough! LOL...
- Montblanc or Gucci namecard holder.. Although my handmade Cambodian silver namecard holder is still in good shape, I'll need a new one that can hold much more!
- Tiffany&Co bean necklace. My all time favourite has gone missing for years now - although I somehow suspect I left it somewhere at Damien's.
- Any upcoming nice KOREAN DRAMA!!!!! I admit I'm hooked. I admit I'm an addict now. And yes, I'll never get tired of it.
- 1st album by my new found love - Rain. Need I say more?
Dun say you dunno wat I want now.. Hahahahahha...
Monday, November 27, 2006
The men.. JUST DON'T GET IT!
- When you ask them to leave you alone, they will pester & irritate the hell out of you.
- When you ask them to kept quiet, they will talk even more.
- When you ask them to stop asking, they ask you about everything in detail.
- When you tell them you're about to lose your tantrum, they will continue to push you even further - and will only stop when they witness some shouting, screaming & some tears...
WHY???? THEY JUST SIMPLY DON'T GET IT!!!!

Ah ma, I miss you...
We sent ah ma to see the doctors when she felt sick suddenly & didn't have any energy to move. The X-ray didn't show anything abnormal so she went for a scan. It was then the docs found out that ah ma had colon cancer - the final stage. We checked her into Mount Alvernia Hospital & engaged the best specialist available. The bills were $10k per day but that was the last thing we had on our mind. We just wanted her to get well but the docs told us not to waste our money and bring her home. Ah ma held onto strong faith that she will recover. She had planned earlier to retire that very year and move in together with us. She was only in her fifties and she left a month later.
Ah ma dotes on all her grandchildren especially jie, boy & myself (well, dad's her mummy's boy for the longest time). I clearly remembered what a spoilt brat I was & the countless nasty things I've done to her. If given another chance, things would be very much different.
Jie told me that wherever ah ma is, she's definitely at a better place. Ah ma, I miss you...

Spooky!
Uncle Alfred - the security supervisor who's in charged of bouncers in various club, nodded his head too. He told us to use the loo at the esplanade instead of the club if need be.
In case some of you may ponder, Jie & Uncle Alfred are the 'uncommon' ones on this planet with special ability to see or feel 'things'.
Dining OUT?
Quite nice hor the table set-up. The restaurant's dressed in mainly red.. too opulent for my taste.

Were told last order was at 10pm so I rushed over and got myself seated at 9.45pm whilst waiting for by to join me. Aftering hearing raving reviews from Adel on how good the roasted pork is , I've decided to give it a try. Nevermind the hole in the pocket, I'm still a sucker for good food!!! Most items were not available when I ordered. Or I should say, most items were not made unavailable until 10mins after taking my order. And I waited a good 20min for them to tell me "you know your shark's bone soup not available hor." WTF!!!!! Nobody told me anything! I had to replace many items that I've ordered with the unpopular items remaining. Thankfully the restaurant manager managed to persuade the chef to get me a soup - at least.
the food



The damage: An unbelievable $108!!! Even though we cancel our order of the horrid tasting beef with mustard. Godamnit! The soon-hock is a bloodly $48 by itself... the deep fried ones are only $18! No wonder the lady so nice ask if I want it steamed instead!

Embarassing
Today's the first operations meeting with the new outlet managers and yes... I dropped tears... out of anger.... There was a misunderstanding between me & chef - everything's settled down anyway. And it was so embarassing!!!! The last time I dropped tears cos of work was 4 years back in the hotel where some SVP of Raffles Holdings gave unreasonable deadlines & demands - things that were virtually impossible to be done by the way. For e.g. can you launch a 1000 people event with full collaterals, marketing exposure, equipments, logistics, set-up venue, etc. within say.. 2 days? That's what I meant! Virtually impossible!!!! That is unless you have a team of 10 people and that vendors & suppliers are co-operative enough to push away all jobs and deal with yours first. But then again, express printing takes a minimum of 2 days for good quality collateral, and another day for lamination and if you have all the fanciful hot-stamping, spot UV,etc.. it's still impossible right!!! Ok, enough of my old grandmother story.. Just felt embarassed...

I'm in love!!!

Ok guys, byeee... I'm flying to Seoul to look for my love!!!! Wish me luck! And if I don't return within a month, it means I'm hitched! Hahahahahahahaha!!!
Copied Movies
First, the Death Note. Initially, I thought it's some horror flick but jie convinced me that it's worth watching. Apparently, it's based on a topselling Japanese manga: A genius colleague student (Light) picked up a book - the death note. A person will die of heart attack within 40 secs if the name's written in the book unless time & details of death was written down. Being a righteous person who believes in punishing criminals that were let loose by the law, Light started killing the criminals. The police found it unacceptable and engaged the services of "L", a famous person who has cracked many unsolved cases for the FBI. The story is based on a battle between Light & L and how their intelligence overwrite each other.
I like the show very much.. but I hate it when it ends with an anti-climax!!!! I hate it when I have to wait ages for the next series to be screened, which may take ages....... AAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!
