time; the speed train.
it's like in blinks* we let time slip by us.
yes i am being an old nag talking about the aging me.
i really couldn't imagine how days and weeks and months or even years just went by me like that..

anyways.

super ugly looking mel!
i know the weather's crap!
HAHA.
we were the bittery ones sending them off that night!
:)
i did not miss out on the pretty scenery, the shopping and all at Beijing..
but i missed out on the fun and laughter with the family.
all 11 of them must have been WILD! :)
damnit, if i were there could have made my cousin eat the
LiveScorpions they saw at dinner over a bet :P
i think i am just dreaming of having fun and making merry la.
plant $ trees?
but i am still happy to see everyone happpppy! :) :) :) :)
Goodnitey!
One of the reasons I dislike Monday;
You try to not be grumpy n express your dread fr the blue day, u even make the effort to warm up the atmosphere...
But others just had to throw u the grumps because they can't contain their unhappiness...
Well, good fr them! Be grumpy n spoil ur day! Booo.
Shite, did I sound grumpy? XP
turning older has been a bliss with the ppl around me..
my family....
my friends..
the girls i've known since i was 10 years old...
we're sooo Relaxed together..
HAHA..
super unglam always! :P
Sventies & Yh..
these girls and i grew up with each other's encouragement together..
thou far apart and busy w our lives..
we always keep a place for each other in our hearts.
to me, you girls are like my little reminders of growing up joy, simplicity and love..
:)
they are really such good sports! :D
finally;
the FARM of friends i recently found Joy, comfort and love from :)
it's like a really special kind of friendship i'd say.
we are all just RANDOM beings that love to make merry and yet bring more then warmth to each other when needed :P
thank you for the annoyance! :P
:)
in life, there are many different areas that completes us.
but i am more then grateful to have these lil lovelies playing a part of my life..
and it has added much joy in my life.
many ppl say that we do not need alot of friends,
we only need one best friend.
but i have A whole lot of them :)
and i am very very glad to keep and love them as much as i can.
a special conversation in the kitchen yesterday;
a friend asked how i felt about my birthday,
i replied "i feel very loved"
and he said "we all love you you know"
^-^
but i hope i am not greedy...
because i feel truly love-d this birthday.
but i still yearn for love every other day...
i am really thankful for all the love i am having.
God's been really really good to me.
you gain some. you lose some.
but don't count and measure.
because that's life!
:)
Bday gift
:( was given a very very kind msg&email frm the boss. And I stood firmly with a reply.
Y can't ppl honour their promises?
:(

On a side note; I fell asleep right after a sleepy dad walked in n wished me hpybd after his football match :)
Japan 5-9 June.
sipping this as i pen my previous biztrip to
the 'Land of the rising sun"...
; the morn i headed to the airport
(my sisters made got me this super act cute luggage tag "princess bag")
was so embarrassed when my boss said "it's really cute!"
-_-"
It was a really really really really tiring trip :(
i think i only had 3hrs of free time on the last day...
but well.
the objective of the trip was the season launch and product exhibit for the 2nd part of the year,
and ofcus the big promo thingy this year; christmas!
it was a hard road to be given the opp to even go.
i never asked for it.
but i was glad i was given the opp.
the whole 5days began with tiring but enjoyable store visits to so many places!
from Ikebukro, shinjuku, kawasaki, sugamo etc etc etc..
i have to salute my boss for being like a real friend/ senior to bring us around,
with no airs and taking good care of us! maybe bcus it is Sunday! HA.
but unfortunately it was such a strict store visit.
store observations/ photos/ vmd changes and activities etc..
my only favourite time was when our sunDAY almost ended and we managed
to cover 7 or 8th store as planned, and we stopped by Muji Cafe for a break.
i really really loved sitting down for coffee at that hour!
:)
;Outside the Mall after the 5th Store when the boss went Coffee hunting..
it was a sunday!
and we were trying to be cheery! :D
after the weekends, the next 3 days was alot of "work"
exhibits, phototaking, socializing..
YAWNS...
i sure learnt alot about the Brand..
this" Culture and about the thoughtful japanese, their product
the massive details they have...
their whole concept frm launches to promotions.
but also realised the huge gap and retail difference we face..
I'd say it was really an eye-opener for me.
and i have gained alot from the experience
but,
the real gain of the trip was to find a friend.
:)
This is Jacq,
my roommate, colleague & friend!
we are very different individuals.
but we always have a good laugh together!
she really made the trip so much easier and enjoyable!
we sat separately on our flight to japan..
and we immediately decided to sit together straight after we landed!
because we both had a weird Jap Uncle sitting by us!
7 hours with a stranger is NO JOKE! :P
the trip ended.
my worry and uncomfort has sorta ended too.
and now i stand firm and feel so much more comfortable being at work :)
*
really sleepy :P
g'nite!
SATC2
Love it! :)
My movie take away;
whoever you are inside is not wrong! Wild/ sexy/ frightened/ shy/ frank or even traditional! But it's just part n parcel of life that you've gotta adapt to whichever environment you r in or partner you choose/ life you picked! But well, there's always ppl that loves and can accept you hidden underneath! And eventually ul either win them over or let the few find u!
Everyone's envious of the courage! But often stares at the brave different!
*
I envy the love and life and friendship the girls found and that may have achieved! But I stare n laugh in shock of thier 'stuns' ;P
I enjoyed the movie thou I sat on the 1st row!! But it was nice! Thankyou rui!!! :)
ReasonS
I Believe that all things happens fr a reason.
Like LOVE; if it does not happen, your Love is not "big" enough/ sufficient for me.
Like succes; long road ahead, my effort and experiences this instance are not ready for the real world.
True?
Or just excuses?
:P

*
this whole marriage/ wedding/ family thing makes everything fuzzy and warm.
walking down the aisle in a church,
hearing wedding vows...
when i sat down in the 1st row in church,
singing "the power of love"..
i felt my lips shaking,
i was almost in tears...
seeing the couple in that magical seat by the cross,
in front of the whole congregation,
in front of god.
:)
how many people get to walk down the aisle with your father,
get your hands given to the love of your life,
say your vows to your father lord,
and live happily ever after?
i wonder everyday...
*
Confused 的心情！
刚刚的婚礼彩排很浪漫、我很替我表哥开心！自己要走下那神圣的教堂我也有点小紧张！陪我走的还是个我刚认识一天的人！哈哈！
幸福真的存在吗？：）
*
回到家面对正在改造的房间、我要昏倒了！
想到明天要提早去工作、开会、我更要昏！
混乱、复杂的心情！
哈哈！

Tried writing in Chinese to "tire" my eyes to sleep!
N yes it's doing just it!
G'nite!
Living the life.
Today I was the last one to stepped out of the office, but I wasn't upset at all.
Pressure, overflowing work, people, time, the real world.
I started with so many hurdles, struggles and fear. Thou still fighting each day I can proudly say - I have conquered much as of today!
My boss apologised n gave me a pat bfr she left, a colleague gave me a snack bfre she left, another msg me words of thanks.
I sat at my desk alone and felt glad. Thou small gestures but its been a lonely journey and all the perserverence of holding up to the harshness I've got have seemed to go down, warmth have overcome it all :)
As the politics goes on (evil beings still lives) the hidden heartfelt is made. I still stand alone on my island but I feel more then sure that standing by being me is not wrong! 心比心! The human heart is made of flesh after all!
I'm glad I did what I feel right for.
I'm glad, really glad!
I'm on my way home with tinyworries of the piled up work but smiling as I write this.
Dear lord, thankyou fr being by me!
U did not promise me with great wealth nor easy life, but u promised to stay by me to guide me on! :)
Amen!!
象一直在做梦
我今天忘了戴手表。（也好几天没戴了）
其实、我也在时间里遗失了一下。。
13 june.
just took this 'lazy' picture (for my girly bd invitation)
lying on my bed with a specs i bought on friday.
it was a random buy. and yep i don't actually need specs.
pardon the chubbyness and lazy look.
but this is how reluctant n lazy i am.
but on the side note, all the packing today..
reminded me how much i used to like Geeky looks,
loved polka dots since i was young,
bringing back old memories of growing up etc..
for a moment..
i feel like shouting..
" I DON'T WANNA GROW UP"!!.
and ironically.. i'm turning older in 2 weeks
:(
*
i finally feel that i am back from the dream i had last week.
my life has been so much on the move;
mentally & physically..
that i sometimes feel like i have lose control of it.
which i really dislike very much.
going for a very first biz trip.
being really very much in my job.
being older, more aware of things,
all the emotions and running mind,
trying to catchup with reality...
i sometimes wonder if it's me or is everyone else
having such unwillingness from time to time?
*
i always have scribbles of quotes on my note book/ post cards etc..
and earlier i found one i wrote probably 7 yrs ago..
"Happiness is not a matter of events,
it depends upon the tides of the Mind"
:)
Mr Mind;
Please get my Happy thoughts Straight! :P
g'nite.
Home sweet home~
I woke up and fr a moment, the past 5days Felt like a dream..
Nothing beats coming home!! And I conclude that business trips are no fun at all, u get older, new wrinkles, sore feet, back and shoulders, and your responsibilities at work just doubled.
Well, at least I've made it and learnt!
But given another chance, I'll request to miss it. Seriously!
Can't wait fr the weekend and I'm so glad I'm heading bk to a half filled office!
I missssssssssss the world :)
Tokyo.
all i can say is...
i'm having an overdose of M*ji.
can't wait to go home.
but indeed the country is lovely.
:)
Flying..
I missed dodo's bday. Gonna miss june's then eric's big day(n he told me he's going to surprise every1) Rushed and fret over many, rec n replied msgs of many I cldnt be catching up with.. :( esp those ".. Cu tmr... let's all xxxx" :( :(
But well, I gotta do what I have to right?
I just hope that Sunshine City - Ikebukuro. Is really filled with Sunshine!!!! Haha!
Off to bed n in 4hr odd I'll be heading to the-land-of-the-rising-sun...
(hope I won't be sitting nxt to a human that shake legs!)
I miss

Another step up :)
God's been gd to me! :)
Stop Mr Clock.
I'm not done and not ready...
beyond, beneath, sight...
the vast sky above you.
like the boundless sight but first overcome thee...
i actually created a photo-blog earlier this year..
but till now i only uploaded 1 photo.
and i think i have forgotten the password...

there are so many things i'd like to do.
there are so many things i'd like to have.
there are so much, i'd like to give.
but, there are so many limitations in life.
so many unknown, rationales and unpredictable felts.
just like the different life stages we are at.
just like the different experiences we have.
just like dreams and hopes.
just like life's destiny.
just like you and me.
