Britney Spears - Womanizer (Director's Cut)

yummy mummy!
welcome back Britney!!!

it just happened

not as if i hoped/wished/prayed for it to happen so i simply can't understand why it is so hard for you to just accept the truth?
offer some words of consolation?
show some care/concern?
why must it have to be like this?
why do you have to be like this?
am i just suppose to suck it up all the time?
it's just so frustrating and it makes me hate telling you anything.
it doesn't have to be this way.
is it really so much to ask for?
i'm taking the responsibility, i'm taking ownership of the matter, why can't you see that?
is everything never good enough in your eyes?
why can others be nice about it but you can't?
i really don't get it.
i don't think i ever will.

an analogy developed in Malacca

once again, heartfelt thanks to Grace, Peiwen and Denise for this very memorable trip.
looking forward to many more to come!

thanks for listening and sharing with me memories, thoughts and feelings.
i've been thinking and guess now i know what to do.

came up with this analogy whilst in discussion with one of the topics,
Mei asked: "but jie, you always give people the benefit of doubt, you're always able to handle stuff."
and my reply was: "even water bottles have their limits. a 500ml water bottle's function is to only hold 500ml worth of water, nothing more than that. pour anymore into it, and the water will just overflow."

i am not a bottomless pit.

sorry is just merely a word.
what weight does it hold anymore these days...
*shrugs*

post celebration with my SIM girls

Thanks girls, for all the effort and planning.

it was a wonderful dinner, get-together.

cheers to more ahead!

*hugs*

pointless rambles

and so the truth is told.
seems like nobody wants/needs to hear about it.
i know i don't need to know.
cos' what you don't know won't hurt.
as long as you're happy - it's ok.
you're right, everything sounds like excuses.
so what's the point of explaining anymore?
it's ok. just drop it.

Christmas Carolling

Christmas is around the corner!!!
my favouritest time of the year.
time to hit the streets of orchard to soak up the atmosphere...

hopefully we'll find a group willing to do Christmas carolling soon!
any choir to intro, please email me or leave me a comment?

it's the time of the year when it rains all the time, it's cold and windy,
and when we all wish we had someone to spend the special holidays with.

i'm so glad i watched High School Musical 3!
it was awesome. reminds me so much of my CHIJ days somehow...
how nostalgic...
i'm listening to the album on Ineem now! haha.

looking forward to my road trip this Friday!
need a break badly.
looking forward to be out of this place, somewhere different.
somewhere i can just let loose and be comfortable.
so many places to go, so many things to see.
i'm sure we'll have a good time! :)

now that a recession is looming and dooming,
i wish everyone well.
those who are still in school (uni), try to stay in there as long as you can.
the job market is not at all friendly now.
crime rate is high and everyone probably isn't in the best of moods.

good luck guys. take care...

emotional measurements?

thanks to Nic, i have a food for thought...

statement: there is a difference between being emotionally strong and emotionally indifferent.

so what are you?
and
what am i?

hmmmmm.....

save save save

so now that recession is looming, it's time to tighten our purse strings, BIG TIME.
no unnecessary spending and buying.

just had an insightful conversation with a working partner/contact.
she offered some tips of being cost-savvy.
now it's not about being a cheap-skate but it's about spending wisely.
cutting down petrol costs isn't going to change much.

travelling has now become a luxury, again. even more so than before.
people, this world-wide financial crisis is not funny.
it is affecting us, more than you'd imagine.

time to wisen up, time for me to do some financial planning.
saving money is the only option now.
thing is i need to plan on how to curb all the unnecessary spending.
as one of my colleagues just mentioned today over lunch: food should never have to be expensive.
true that.
so instead of going to some snazzy joint for a steak, why not just go to friendly ol' NTUC or Cold Storage and do some DIY cooking at home! with the company of friends, why isn't that lovely? :)

ok, i need to start thinking and planning.
time to hide in a shell!

sigh... to think Christmas is near...
nope, ain't gon' let this dampen my year end festive mood!!!
