Have you very been in a situation where you're waiting for the lift or at a traffic light. And along comes this person that will press the already lit button. Then will continue to keep gabbing it as if it'll make the lift reach any faster!

They will not subtly press it. They will gab it so hard as if they wanna push the button permanently into the wall! All the time, grumbling under their breath how slow the lift is moving!

I met one of those today...
Personally i like the lifts at shaw. I think compared to a lot of other lifts, it moves really fast. And there's never a need to wait too long.
While waiting for all of 5 secs today, this Indian man - complete with a moustache and all (there's nothing to do with race here... i'm merely stating it to emphasis the intimidating factor) came along and started gabbing the button that i've already press. He started grumbling at once at how slow the lift was taking, all the time still gabbing those buttons. He looked a little pissed off and impatient, so i didn't dare look at him. But he kept turning to me and complaining. Maybe hoping that i will response?
When the lift came, he hurried in...
At this point, i got a little paranoid... My mind raced... "what floor is he going too? if i press a floor lower then his will he glare at me... what happen if he started grumbling at me!?" (i thought of all this in a space of 2secs!)
So i let him press the numbers first. Thanks goodness he was going to 6 and i was going to 7. I really sigh a breath of relieve! (seriously!)
In that 5 sec journey, he never stopped gabbing the "6" button. He turn to mumble something to me, but i couldn't hear. I was so scare that he'll try something funny, i just stood in the corner and looked at the floor.
Thank goodness the lift was fast! He got out at 6. And i could finally relax...

It was a damn weird lift ride...
I really can't stand it when ppl get so impatient like this....
Gabbing the button will not make the lift come any faster!
If you're that much in a rush....

Take the stairs!

I was reading a very heart felt post by J last night when my phone rang.
Expecting a text, i search for my phone, only to be disappointed but pleasantly surprise all at the same time.
It was J! Such a coincidence!
Her sweet text was to thank the ppl that love her. (yes we do, J!) And it was like an extension of her post that i was reading.
I was really touched and really proud of her for being so brave!
Standing beside her, i will look like such a weak coward...

To "my lil' sister" J:

So for what this is worth...

"I'm super proud of you and how far you have come! I know you are much strong, a lot braver and deserve so much more! Everything i told you, comes from my heart. We might not be the closest. But i promise that i can be that friend you can count on!

So, to putting down the past, and a brighter, more deserving future... Cheers!"

p.s/ we must arrange a bkk trip together! and drag M with us to help carry the loot! haha..

Life is so unexpected.
We never know what's gonna happen later.
The world in the mercy of H1N1
MJ dying so suddenly
Treats of a nuclear bomb
Wars breaking out
The economy in distress
Our lives suddenly seems so trivial compared to these.
But it's still our life nonetheless...

"I hope that your life is better."

(*emo-ing* i blame the cough syrup)

Today i heard a very sad story over the radio.

I was on my way to one of my class and the deejay told this story
about a dying girl wish to watch the movie "Up".

Of cause it's not been release yet.
So her family wrote to Pixar. Asking if there was anyway their little girl was able to see the show before it's official release?
Many letter and emails later, Pixar replied!
The people at Pixar was so touched by their story that they sent an employee with the DVD of the show, along with sack full of toys for the little girl.
The little girl watched the show.
And 7 hours later, pass away peacefully.

(full story here)

I was just stun when i hear this story. Couldn't help but tear.

It got me thinking:
How simple a dying wish can be...
How innocent a child's wish can be...
Can we all live life with no regrets...

"If you know that God is gonna take your life tomorrow,
what would you do today?"

Going to Dempsey is always a treat.
I especially like to go there with my girlfriends.
Heard alot abt House @ Dempsey
Always wanted to check it out.
So jio-ed ppl and went!

It has this typical Dempsey flare. Something outta the ordinary.
Dinner at Barracks
The place had this rustic charm. Everything was old yet new. Nothing really matched.

Even our serving plates were all different. And the menu was a newspaper!

Of cause the highlight is always the food!

We had Red snapper, and Sweet potato mash, and a Skinny pizza (no pic), and a meter long sausage, finish off with warm Strawberry shortcake!

(I just realised that all our food started with "S"!! haha...)

And yes you didn't read wrong! It was a good meter long!
When trying to visualize how long 1meter was, i ask D.

D: "Probably the length of your legs!?"

me: "I wonder how they're gonna serve it?"

D: "Most likely round in a coil la.."

Couldn't resist ordering it, just to see how it'll turn out!

We were wrong!

It stretch out diagonally across the whole table!

We enjoyed all our food! Definitely something different from our usual.

In the end, we were asked to fill in a feedback form.
When asked which was our fav part of the whole place,
Our anonymous answer was the toilet!

The ladies was called "pussycat"
How cute...
The deco in there was really pretty...
I especially like the writings on the wall

Just couldn't resist snapping this shot

Overall food was not too bad.
Discuss, bitch and plan. The usual talks and updates.
As always a good meet-up!
Thank-you!
Another one soon ya?

It's been a long while since i wrote abt things i've been doing.
Life have been eventful. All thanks to good old friends and some new ones.
As much as i like hanging out with my already friends. I like to meet new ppl too! Add that extra spice. And meeting new ppl will result in meeting more new ppl! it's like this never ending cycle! I like...

Anyway...
Been doing really random stuff lately...
Needless to say, there's been a sudden spike in late nights
With suppers...
and MJ (yes i know... so unlike me right!)
and many dinners...
and movies - OMG just remembered this "horrific" movie they dragged me to watch! I'm still suffering from the after effects and they're already plotting on how to "con" me to the next one. I think i'm gonna cry...
And i actually went swimming! (that has nothing to do with coaching or training...)

Just got my cammie back from D
So i'm trying to get back the flow of taking pictures. Totally losing touch...

Met more new ppl last night.
and here's my another weak attempt at pictures...
(there was more but some-irritating-one deleted it... especially the "eyes open big big" pic!!! blah! i liked that one la! hump!)

Old friends... New friends.... Newer friends!!

Leave 3 girls at the back of a car with a camera... And the flash will go off non stop!

K offered to help with the picture taking

... But after a while...
Complained that our pose always the same few... And refuse to take anymore...
Blah!! How to pose differently in such limited space!?

Ha!

Still...
Thanks for another night's out

As much as i feel that Butter should just remain on toast...
I did have fun
But can the next one just be at our usual?

More updates as the pictures roll in...
Ta!

lousy mood

yes, you don't need to gasp... i am home on a saturday night. feeling light headed and float-ish, like i just took a whole bottle of cough syrup. don't think it's too good an idea to be out. i'll probably bang someone down or get bang down myself. so i am here, in my home, all alone, writing this post with no caps and paragraphing. I estimate that after the first 4 lines (max) most people will give up reading. but somehow, i'm not quite bothered by it. so, this afternoon i met a friend for lunch. then i decided to try on this dress. and it turn out to be really pretty. despite it looking all plain and boring. but couldn't think of a good reason/excuse to get it. my friend insisted that it was too pretty to pass and said that i should get it as a stand-by dress. maybe it was the light headed-ness, but i wasn't swayed. i put the dress back and decided that i should sleep on it. damn i should have taken a picture to remind myself how hot that dress was! oh well. if i go back and it's still there then it must be faith! or maybe if i wish hard enough, it will suddenly appear on my front door! (ha! ya right... in my dreams!) enough abt the dress. did i ever mention that "karma's a bitch". never get in its way. it will never do you any good. it will always bite back harder then you imagine! don't mess with it! ok, if you're made it this far, you're either damn bored or just a bit crazy! because even i cannot read back at what i've written. oh, i just bought a new pair of jeans. yes i know i hardly wear them, but this just look good and there was this great discount! anyway, i tried the size in the shop and it fit nicely. i wanted a size smaller just to confirm. but the lady couldn't find the size smaller. and she assured me that it wouldn't stretch out too much. i was too taken in and how nicely it fitted that i decided to just get the size i was trying. i wore it out last night, and it became so loose! like it grew a full size up at the waist! i was so irritated!! everything else fitted so nicely! i will definitely not put on weight to fit into that jeans... i just wish that it will shrink to fit better. should have insisted on the smaller size. damn! so irritated with myself. Oh damn!! my other friend just msg. i totally forgotten to meet her for our run! this is bad! i got so distracted by this afternoon that i completely forgot to confirm with her. now i just feel so bad! light headed and being mad at yourself is not a good combi. maybe i deserve that ill fitted jeans for being such a lousy friend... blah! this sucks. i'm going to hide in bed and never come out =(

Karma's a bitch!
better be careful

WAH LAO!!!! BLOODY CB!! CRASH AND BURN!!! ARGH!!!

I have nothing to say...

Today i met C
We were chatting as usual. Talking abt really random stuff.
Then she told me about this incident that just happened
C was out having drinkings with some of her colleagues, when this other girl confused to her that she has a crush on this other guy, but she did not dare tell him.
C said to her:
"If God were to take you away yesterday, what would you have done the day before?"
"You wouldn't lose much by letting him know. The very least you'll blush for awhile, but you'll know how he feels to."

Although i don't think i'm that brave to ever confuse my feelings to anyone just like that. I have to totally agree with what C said.

What struck me the most was:
"If God were to take you away yesterday, what would you have done the day before?"

Don't wait for tomorrow to do what you want to. You might not get that tomorrow.
Regret is the most painful of all feelings.

Ok... I got a phone call to make....

"As dreamers dream, in a dreamer’s world,

with fairy dust and sugar coats,

and all things pretty and nice."

When is it my turn to look forward to something nice?

*I’m emo-ing*

H1N1 in SG

It's no joke...
So we all should take the hint from mr brown

enjoy
