A Little Bit of Wonderful
Sunday, July 31, 2011 @ 3:48 AM

Just spent the early hours of Sunday morning sheepishly pressing my doorbell because I forgot my keys. Again. Totally had the intention of just sneaking into my room quietly and not waking the entire house up - thank God my brother wasn't asleep yet.

Initially thought of spending a quiet Saturday night in catching up on mindless TV and drama, but couldn't pass up the idea of an impromptu catchup with some of the poly peeps. I reckon weekends aren't for sleeping in anyway - completely need to maximise mine for the time being. And lo and behold it's already the last day of July! Hoping to usher in August with a bang.

Wrapping my weekend up with tuition (hopefully includes good news of my kid's prelims so far?) and more hours to be whiled away in town. Am seriously grateful for all these fantastic things I do with great people that keep me getting through each day. Honestly, work days aren't tough but they're always a drag when Sunday nights roll around anyway. Yet, I don't have much time to sit down and idle since everything's fast paced and I don't pride myself in being much of slacker. Hopefully! Fingers crossed that I'll get sent out on more interviews for features soon. Meeting celebs keeps me on my toes!

Have yet another great week ahead guys! :)

Goodbye Baby Goodbye

It happens quickly and subconsciously, and we always find our heads trying to reason with ourselves that this is not how we actually feel. But it is. You promise people that they are always on your mind, always your priority, but you know that isn't completely true anymore. Sometimes, that isn't completely wrong either. Unknowingly, we let go of people not because we want to but because we lose them to situation and circumstance. We meet others along the way and they don't replace, but take on a new part and role in your life. They help you grow, wisen up and take in knowledge you never thought you'd acquire. Then they too, might disappear with time. It's a cycle - and a cycle that you shouldn't be afraid to go through.

RIP

"On the island of Utoya, panicked teens attending a Labor Party youth wing summer camp plunged into the water or played dead to avoid the assailant in the assault. A picture sent out on Twitter showed a blurry figure in dark clothing pointing a gun into the water, with bodies all around him.

The carnage hours earlier in Oslo, when a bomb rocked the city where the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded, left a square covered in twisted metal, shattered glass, and documents ejected from surrounding buildings.

The dust-clogged scene after the blast reminded one visitor from New York of Sept. 11.

At a hotel in the village of Sundvollen, where survivors of the shooting were taken, 21-year-old Dana Berzingi wore pants stained with blood. He said the fake police officer ordered people to come closer, then pulled weapons and ammunition from a bag and started shooting.

Several victims “had pretended they were dead to survive,’’ Berzingi said. But after shooting the victims with one gun, the gunman shot them again in the head with a shotgun, he said."

This is just...terrible. I hope the people of Norway stay strong and grow in strength to strength. Sometimes I just want to wish such things won't ever happen again but I don't have the confidence to think that way. Can we ever get through a year without such devastation rocking some part of the world? I reckon a lot of us here just skim through news like that on Yahoo! and don't think about what might actually happen if such a thing were to happen to us here. We're too safe, too sheltered and we have so much to be thankful for every single day of our lives.

Please count every blessing you have!

Weekend rolls around
Friday, July 22, 2011 @ 11:40 AM

I'm easing myself into Friday pretty well right now. Woke up at 9am and have been lounging around the house for the past two hours. It's been so long since I've had time to bum around on a workday! Supposed to head down to Dunearn soon to return a loan but it started pouring the moment I was gonna step out. Oh life you jest...again.

Street Jazz again tonight and I always feel so lazy to drag myself to class but once I do I never reget it. Looking forward to continuing tonight's choreo!

Have a great weekend you guys xx

Not All Who Wander Are Lost

Hullo to whoever still visits this space.

Life in recent weeks have been treating me pretty well. Work has been relatively smooth sailing (except for the occasionally mini anxiety attack I feel at my desk when I feel I am not doing enough etc etc. HAHAH). Being able to meet my friends on the weekends and catch up with them has done incredibly well in keeping me sane and although I still feel like time with them is never enough, I'm thankful enough to be able to see everyone when they are all so busy under different circumstances. ]

Over the lastest weekend, we managed to surprise dear Deanna on her 19th birthday - kudos to Eden for the co-ordinating and love for our dearest girl. I'm so happy for her! He's a keeper Dee!

So Eden had planned for all of us to hold up plycards at different locations around a route he had carved out while he brought Dee around on a trishaw ride - which meant she would see all of us holding birthday messages for her as she went around. We were all worried we were gonna be situated at the wrong place and all but all went well! :)

Some photos that I snagged off Facebook. Thanks Brenda!

These two were painfully sewing patchwork onto a quilt for Deanna. I was just being nosy of course.

With cards Eden prepared!

With my station buddy, Mel! We were supposed to be in some remotely subdued place in between Jalan Besar and...something. Had a horrible time finding the place but thank God Mel is forever a lifesaver!

Girls trying to be chio in the toilet. Zz. By the way, notice a number of us in striped tops? Especially Mel and I being in near identical ones! Completely unplanned and spontaneous! Hahaha.

Managed to catch fireworks from the NDP rehearsal. All of us were pretty awed by it - it was so beautiful! Sigh. I definitely took everyday that night for granted though - didn't really strike me that I was in such an awesome place with all of my friends at that moment. Looking back on things, even though recent, still make me feel nostalgic!

Happy birthday once again, Deanna! May you always be blessed with wisdom and strength, and grow in so much more in days to come!


Lately thoughts of travelling have been drifting in and out of my head again, and I daresay I am gonna attempt shelving away all the money I shall earn from now on. Plus get another job of course. Never again shall my bank account be filled with measly digits! Teehee.


Be back soon!
