I Wish You Love <3

I wish you bluebirds in the spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss
But more than this
I wish you love

And in July a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health
But more than wealth
I wish you love

My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best
My very best
I set you free

I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all
When snowflakes fall
I wish you love
But most of all
When snowflakes fall
I wish you love

Ikea, Superlife, and Work (or the lack of)

i love walking around Ikea. it's amazing how much crap i wanna buy just walking around Ikea. and the best part, i never go to Ikea just walking out with that 1 item that i went there to buy. i always end up buying rubbish-y stuff that i think will make my life better.

like for example, i got these hanging things to replace the one i previously had, which was now really old and dusty...

And to Komplement it, i also got these drawer thingies that fit into each slot. so useful to keep all my stuff.

I also got these nice white boxes to throw my cds in, instead of leaving them all over the place. i'm on my way to getting my life organised! haha...

Oh anyway, this super cute boy is Yihui's baby brother... he's 7, and in superlife! and... he likes me! haha... he came up to sit beside me during service last sunday. and asked me how to find the memory verse in the bible. so cuuuuute...

hehe i love my superlife kids. and especially last sunday. they were mischevious and rowdy, but they also worshipped really enthusiastically. their singing brought a smile to my face and tears to my eyes. this was the song they were singing:

I WANT TO KNOW YOU LORD
YOU ARE A GREAT BIG GOD
I'M YOUNG AND DO NOT KNOW A LOT
COME AND BE MY ALL

I WANT TO LOVE YOU MORE
GIVING YOU MY LIFE AND ALL
YOU DIED FOR ME YOU'VE SACRIFICED
I WON'T FORGET YOU LORD

I LOVE YOU JESUS
I'LL GROW UP KNOWING YOU
I LOVE YOU JESUS
I'LL GROW UP SERVING YOU
I LOVE YOU JESUS
MY LIFE IS SAVED BY YOU
I'LL NEVER FORGET
NEVER FORGET
I'LL GROW UP LOVING YOU

EDIT:

siiiiggghhh... i really pray that every single one of them will remember this song forever, even when they grow up.

you know i'm really free at work when i can blog during working hours. hahahaha... anyway this week has been really easy. not busy, nothing much to do, i finish my work too fast every day, and can even help other colleagues do their work. haha. but don't tell my boss that. i'm sure i'll get busy again soon. i better enjoy this lull while i can.

i have to go for some stupid department event this saturday - an island wide photohunt. 9-freaking-AM. sigh on the 1st weekend i have relatively free, i STILL have to wake up early. bah. the boss actually called me down to ask why no one on my floor was going for the event. I had to make the supreme sacrifice for my team, and said "Yes, i'm going for the event." We're split up into teams of 4, and guess whose team i'm in? yes. that's right. the boss's (grammatical error?) team. i'm gonna have so much fun this saturday morning. yup. i can so tell already.

See you soon, my friend

be warned. this is a super emo post.





i'm not saying goodbye, nor am i saying farewell.

the words i will say are "talk to you later", and "see you again soon".

even though you're gonna be far away from singapore, and i won't have your company for 6 months, we've got email, msn, telephone.

i will surely miss you. so much.

take care of yourself, i'm only a phone call away if you need me.

be happy!

love you...

the weekend!

it feels like many days have passed since Chinese New Year, when actually it was just one month ago that i was gorging on pineapple tarts and bak kwa. so many things seem to have happened since then. i keep thinking that it's been at least 2 mths since CNY. don't laugh, but the only reason why this thought popped into my mind is because... my curly hair is now -almost- straight!!! i permed my hair on 5th Feb, which means my hair stayed curled for at most1 1/2 months...

So yes... back to the topic, Momo brought me and joe as guests to the Chanel Fashion Show on Friday.

i have to say... attending a *real* fashion show is an experience. beautiful (expensive) clothes, beautiful (skinny) models, beautiful (famous/rich) people. yeah that kinda sums up the show.

Isn't this girl pretty? some of the models were too thin though. and because the chanel shoe collection was made up of really chunky platform plastic shoes, those really skinny models walked soooo weirdly. 2 or 3 looked like they were gonna fall over with every step they took. oh maaaan, attending a fashion show makes you such a bitch. haha... i've never been this bitchy... seriously. the whole time we were waiting for the show to start we were just like... "OMG look at that lady, she's wearing gold pants", "why is that person wearing a yellow wig?", "oh the guy in the gold tie is cute", "kit chan probably had botox done". famous sightings... Zoey Tay - she's SO PRETTY!!!, Kit Chan, David Gan, one of the Melwani sisters, and some model that i've seen in the newpapers before.

yeah that's us trying for a model-esque look. :P

Saturday, attended Rachael Yamagata's concert at the esplanade. her songs are really emo... reminds me of a pity party. the kind of songs i like to listen to when i get depressed.

Sunday! Sunday was just how all the other Sundays have been for the past few months. Church. Friends. the perfect way to spend any Sunday. but the only difference, we actually travelled halfway across singapore (to HV) for lunch and to play Cranium at Joe's house.

1st, lunch at Da Paolo Pizza Bar...

green was the colour of the day!

The only sad thing about this weekend was the thought that this is the last weekend for the next 6 mths that momo will spend with us.

sigh... much as i tell her that i won't cry at the airport and that we'll find a replacement to fill up her "spot" in the girlfriends club... i know, you know, momo- you better know, that it's not gonna happen that way. sheesh... i'm tearing up just thinking about it. there's more i could say, but i'm at work. it's not too professional for me to start crying in front of my computer... my colleagues already think i'm mad for laughing so hard at marvin's "English Metaphors" email this morning. they're gonna think i've got multiple personalities. :P

why i haven't blogged

well you all know i've always been lazy... :P but fear not, my memories still have been captured, because the people that i spent most of my days with for the past 2 weeks have been blogging faithfully. much more eloquently and poetically than i ever could, i should add, with pictures and all. hehe... can u see my laziness oozing out with every word i say?

my brief version of the past 2 weeks...

1 Mar 07

Stupid Girl and Idiotic Guy irritate me

3 Mar 07

Consultant-Rain throws a party, and we turn his house into a gambling den...


of course, the "good" girl that i am, i didn't gamble... one guy lost ALL his money, and even had to borrow money from another guy. think he lost a more than $150. really watching him gamble is scary. they were playing "in between"- a game of greed, guts and glory. he's got too much greed, and guts, and totally no glory. he bets recklessly. if i was his girlfriend, i would never marry him. i'd be worried for my future, and whether he'll one day gamble the house away.

4 Mar 07

Pammie's 21st birthday party... pammie wammie's all grown up now, into this beautiful young lady... siiiigh... time passes so quickly.

9 Mar 07

took leave, and went with shuying to make glasses, then went to her house to help transfer programs to her new laptop, then clubbing at St James Powerstation. Movida was... interesting... they play Banghra music... but with sufficient alcohol, that could be overlooked. overall, FUN!

10 Mar 07

PS cafe for "brunch" at 2pm. hehe... PS cafe is the perfect place to while away a lazy saturday afternoon. i love the scrambled eggs. i've never had such wonderful scrambled eggs. moist, fluffy, buttery... i totally love them.

Michelle's house for an 8 course degustation dinner lovingly prepared by Chef Ng. really really good food!
and of course the requisite game of Taboo that the girls always play whenever we gather at somebody's house. the singaporean version is so much harder than the ang-moh version... and some really weird words too.

10 Mar 07

2 movies, 300 and dreamgirls. 300 is wonderful- bloody without being gory, heroic without being cheesy, entertaining without being corny. i've never seen so many buff men in one movie before. and i've never felt so bloodthirsty in a movie before. kill kill kill!!!!!! it's so stylised... like watching the comic come to life on a movie screen.

dreamgirls was fluffy. just the way a musical movie should be. the singing was fabulous. a little anti-climatic after the intensity of 300, but rather good overall.

it was an eventful but extremely tiring weekend. and i learnt one new thing about myself: drinking a double tall low fat vanilla caramel macchiato will keep me awake for 12 hrs. don't ask how i know... siiiigh...

Anyway, one thing i can blog about... you know, much as i hate working, and i always say, "work is just work", i also have to say it's nice to know that what i've been spending most of my days on is appreciated and my time has not gone to waste. i just got my appraisal, and seeing the grades, and reading the comments written by my team head, it gives me the assurance that the freaking-long-hours i put in during UAT, the weekends/public holidays spent in office, the "scoldings" from the consultants are... well... at least a little... worth it.

and following the appraisal, it was time to collect what the bank owed me for 2 whole years. i've seen ppl collect bonus letters twice already, over 2 years, and i didn't qualify for either one. finally, it's my turn. well the bonus wasn't fantastic, but i thought the increment was pretty good. And there's other options and opportunities to explore too. :)

the highlights of the coming weekend:

Friday night: Chanel Fashion Show and Party
Saturday: Rachael Yamagata Concert
Sunday: Board games at someone's house(?)

yay! maybe i'll put up pictures after this weekend... :)

it never rains but pours...

... and so pouring it is. from my window on the 40th floor, i can barely see the ground.

so, i am, here in my office. the thunder is roaring, the sky is dark. so dark. waiting for a laspe in the rain.

siiiiigh....

tiredness is...

... sleeping 5hrs on Friday, then sleeping 4 hrs on Saturday, THEN, drinking a doubleshot tall latte at 5pm on Sunday and not being able to fall asleep until 5am on Monday morning.

guys are stupid

Pompous, Know-it-All, Insensitive, Low-EQ guys PISS ME OFF!!!!!
