Life ...
Last night whilst I was mamak-ing with xpeace, I asked for my usual 'milo kosong ais' and he had his usual 'teh ice'. I tell you - that place has the SWEETEST milo kosong that I've ever tasted! Gosh! it's so sweet I wonder what a milo biasa would taste like ...
Then xpeace started grinning and insisted that I taste his drink as well ...... it was teh ais KOSONG! They mixed up our orders!
In the gym yesterday, sitting down on the machines and trying to adjust the seat. I had to go on one that was STUCK and it had to be done when a PT was standing next to me!... shy only
I have been wearing contacts for 17 yrs ... NEVER had I EVER had a problem opening the packaging...
I got new colored lenses yesterday and this morning whilst I was opening up the package EVERYTHING flew out of my hands ...
... and into the toilet bowl!

Morbid Ponderings
Attended my Mrs. Pastor's dad's funeral last night. And while they were singing the song below I started crying ...I don't know about tomorrow;
I just live from day to day.
I don't borrow from its sunshine
For its skies may turn to grey.
I don't worry o'er the future,
For I know what Jesus said.
And today I'll walk beside Him,
For He knows what is ahead.
Many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand.
Every step is getting brighter
As the golden stairs I climb;
Every burden's getting lighter,
Every cloud is silver-lined.
There the sun is always shining,
There no tear will dim the eye;
At the ending of the rainbow
Where the mountains touch the sky.
I don't know about tomorrow;
It may bring me poverty.
But the one who feeds the sparrow,
Is the one who stands by me.
And the path that is my portion
May be through the flame or flood;
But His presence goes before me
And I'm covered with His blood.
I suddenly realised that it was exactly 3 months after my accident! I could have had a funeral just like this 3 months ago.Gung-gung passed away on the 7th of Oct.
I had my accident on the 7th of July.
His funeral was on the 8th of Oct.
Mine could easily have been on the 8th of July.I felt as if I was going through my own funeral!I wondered how my family would feel ...I wondered how many ppl would turn up for my funeral...I wondered what the ppl would say at my funeral...I wondered what the ppl would remember about me...I wondered if ppl would miss me ...
If you could use one would to describe me - what would it be?

An item?
Just got back from my department's retreat in Cameron Highlands. Had a blast up there! Check out the pics here.
Anyways, point of this blog is that one of my colleagues by the name of Steven, who is dubbed my 'office bf', and I took a number of pics together.
His sister who's residing in Aust actually called up after seeing the pics in a panic asking if I am his latest gf! wakakakkakakakaka ...
When he told us in the office just then, all of us just burst out laughing! I ain't gonna go out with anyone who's like a decade younger than me!!!!
Off on a tangent:
Tweets started off a blog to sell of her old items. I'm wondering if I should ...

Melaka Trip (12th & 13th of Sep)
The Melaka trip was a whole lot of fun! 7 females painting the historical town red!
Check pics here: Melaka Trip
It was really 2 days of doing anything we wanted to do (though I am not too sure if Belle wanted to climb St Paul's hill TWICE! I'm not even sure she wanted to climb it in the first place! hehehe
)
What I really enjoyed about the trip was the singing in St Paul's ruins. We actually did it the first day we were there - we sang "Amazing Grace" & "I love you Lord" but since we forgot to video it, we decided to do our own encore on Sunday morning. This time we sang "Amazing Grace" & "Doxology". The reverb was just fantastic! AWESOME really ....
The other thing I really enjoyed was the nite of drinking at The Geographer Cafe. Sitting down and drinking and listening & requesting songs and watching ppl dance (although some of the dancers were looking a bit constipated!). It was such an enjoyable thing sitting there and enjoying the music/songs and the antics of the dancers and joking about anything and everything ... by the time we left to go back to our hotel it was 1+ in the morning! We actually sang all the way back like we were drunkards! lol but none of us were anywhere drunk!
It was an awesome trip - really need to do these kinda things more often!
Can't wait till Penang next month!
I have always wanted to celebrate my b'day way from home with close friends. Except for my studies in Aust, I've always celebrated my b'day at home. This year, I get to be in Penang for my b'day with my gym gang So looking forward to it!

If a man wants you...
If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away.
If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.
Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.
Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.
Stop trying to change yourselves for a relationship that's not meant to be .
Slower is better.
Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.
If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve
then heck no, you can't "be friends." A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend.
Don't settle. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is.
Don't stay because you think "it will get better." You'll be mad at yourself
a year later for staying when things are not better.
The only person you can control in a relationship is you.
Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women.
He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant,
Why would he treat you any differently?
Always have your own set of friends separate from his .
Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you .
If something bothers you, speak up.
Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later .
You cannot change a man's behavior. Change comes from within.
Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are...even if he has
more education or in a better job. Do not make him into a quasi-god.
He is a man, nothing more nothing less.
Never let a man define who you are .
Never borrow someone else's man .
Oh Lord! If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you.
A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.
All men are NOT dogs.
You should not be the one doing all the bending...compromise is a two-way street.
You need time to heal between relationships...there is nothing cute about
baggage... deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship
You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you...a relationship consists
of two WHOLE individuals...look for someone complimentary...not supplementary.
Dating is fun...even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right.
Make him miss you sometimes...when a man always know where you are, and your
always readily available to him- he takes it for granted .
Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need.
Keep him in your radar but get to know others.
Share this with other ladies..... You'll make someone SMILE, another
RETHINK her choices, and another woman PREPARE.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate
them, a day to love them and an entire lifetime to forget them.

Trying not to ...
... fall asleep!
I have a proposal to finish but it's really skeletal now and I don't seem to be able to add any more meat to it! I think it has to do with the banana leaf rice I had this afternoon with some colleagues.
Gosh I am SO FULL from lunch!
I can feel the curry sloshing in my tummy!
I can feel the fire burning within me!
My eyelidss are drooping...
I keep yawning ...
My eyes are watering...
I keep losing focus on the monitor...
Even as I type this blog, I can hardly focus my mind on it ...
Can hardly SEE what I am typing ...
Actually I'm making so many typos I think I am typing this without even looking at the keyboard!
The text is going in and out of focus...
clear, blur, clear, blur, clear, blur ...
HOW DO I WAKE UP???
I need to finish off this proposal paper!!!!!!!!!!

Through the eyes of love ...
Now I totally understand what it means by "Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder" ...
Now that 'feelings' in my life has been dealt with and life is pretty much norm again, I saw him ...
and suddenly I go "WHAT ON EARTH DID I SEE IN HIM?"
ok ok - I'm not turning sour grapes and trying to bag him and all but seriously ...- He's in desperate need of a haircut. He never looked good in long hair ... and I have no idea why I've always thought he looked good in any style
- He's got terrible sense of dressing! and when I say terrible, I mean terrible ... I remember when he went for a wedding in jeans & a tee ... yet again, I have no idea why I accepted it then and now that I reflect back, I would have probably screamed at a friend who didn't dress up for the occasion!!

Someone stole my pear!
Last Saturday I had an event at work. I dabao a pear so that I can have it when I was hungry.
So anyways, I came into the office, left the plastic bag on my table and off I went preparing this and that and etc. At the end of the event, after everyone left, I came back to my table to pack my things and leave.
I was hungry so I reached for the plastic bag containing my pear ... it wasn't a pear!! It was 'yau jar guai'!!!
What the??!! Who took my pear and left me yau jar guai instead?!
So oily and leave on my table! ish ish ish ...
but there was no one else in the office - who would have stole it??
WHO would have taken my pear without permission??!!
*light bulb*
I suddenly remembered that I had porridge and yau jar guai in the morning ...
I must have accidentally taken the plastic bag with the yau jar guai instead of the plastic bag with my pear!
hehehehe
