Elvin?

Anyway, I just happened to see Romeo Tan's FB Fanpage this morning as there were updates in my FB home section. In case you didn't know who was Romeo Tan, he was one of the top 5 contestants for Star Search 2010. And he also happens to be my Sec sch junior of a year. That's why I am more aware of Star Search, if not, I think I am not a supporter or hardcore fan of artists.

Just as I saw the new photos being updated, this picture just caught my eyes:

This is because, the Elvin Ng in this picture looks like someone. Perhaps it is the army hairstyle and the thick eyebrows. Plus the height.

Nevertheless, I still think they looked alike! haha....

Ending 2010 Lunar Year

Hopefully with the Lunar New Year coming. 2011 will be a better relationship/friendship year.

Out of nowhere, with minor issues or arguments, within a period of 1 week, I had some minor arguments with 2 people. But well, both of them had similar characters. I wondered if the fault lies with me or them. I wondered if I am becoming more short-tempered or because they are short-tempered in the first place.
Sigh.

Yet, another friend, who just "disappeared". Well, not a good month to end the year for me.

This reminds me of a Pri 4 boy who wrote in his handwriting book today.

He mentioned something like.....

xxx is my best friend. I didn't help him and he don't want to friend me anymore. I always see him and want to talk to him but he ignore him. I really want to be his friend or best friend again. I want to invite him to my house during chinese new year.

I can't remember the ending. But I can relate to his writing of being "ignored". Then my colleague asked: "It's not a good feeling being ignored ah?"

Yes, definitely it is not a good feeling and it sucks to the core! 

Especially when you value the friendship or relationship HELL ALOT....

But I guess, you will still be there if I ever needs your help. Will you?

What is the most important trip?

Saw the following quote from yahoo page:

"The most important trips aren’t about getting somewhere. They’re about getting to someone."

To me,

"The most important trips aren’t about getting somewhere. It is about being with the one that you love."

So, what is one of your most important trips?

Mine, of course is that 2008's trip to BKK with that special someone. The only time I went overseas alone with someone. You know who you are. You guys know who he is.

In another different note, I may be away from SG for 1-2 weeks in a few months time. Not for holiday, not for fun, not for love, less honeymoon.

For other purpose. Msg me if you all are interested to know.

Going to bathe and going to bed. Falling sick again.......

Story of a Blind Girl

This is at least the 3rd time I had received this forwarded mail. Just to share with whoever is reading this blog:

There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she's blind. She hated everyone, except her loving fiance. He is always there for her. Blind girl said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her fiance.

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to the blind girl and then she can see everything, including her fiance.

Her fiance asked her, "now that you can see the world, will you marry me?" The girl was shocked when she saw that her fiance is blind too, and refused to marry him.

Her fiance walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to girl saying. 

"Just take care of my eyes dear."


Moral: This is how human brain changes when the status changed. Only few remember what life was before, and who's always been there even in the most painful situations.

Never take someone for granted, Hold every person close to your Heart because you might wake up one day and realize that you have lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones. Remember this always in life!

4th Dinner and Dance.

Time seems to pass so fast that I am going to attend my 4th D&D. The D&D committee last minute changed the theme from Black and Gold to some dunno what Fanciful, Flashy and Clashing Colours.

Like that how to win the best dressed? lolx.

I was already planning to wear sleeveless black blouse from FCUK with black tights and black heels, with strips of GOLD hair. Now with this change of theme.... must find other clothes to wear and I am left with only 2 days as D&D is on Friday with morning being the Staff Day.

If you are unaware, I have been nominated for the best dressed for the past 2 years!!! And in 2009, I was the Best Dressed Female!

I wonder if this year I will be nominated. lolx. We shall see....

Going to bed. Flu and fever bug is in me now..... zzzzz

Jealous or Irritated?

I wonder if you were jealous or irritated when you mentioned the following statement last Saturday:

".. for the last 20 messages, almost all mention the word SAW. What are you trying to prove or boast?"

I hope it is the former.

It feels good to be missed... ...

Yesterday, one of my 5 year old kids hugged me when she saw me after 1-2 months ever since I came back from leave. She initiated it.

Then again, in the gym, while playing with her, she hugged me again.

Then the naughty/cheeky me asked her,

"Why? You miss Aunty Xiu Ling is it?"

Then she looked at me and nodded her head. Aww... so sweet.

Sometimes before the session end and we bid "goodbye", some kids I will ask for hugs. But yesterday, even without asking, she hugged me.

She must have missed me soooo much... lolx... just kidding.

But it is really nice to be missed by someone while I am away... ...

Do you?

New Year Wish for You

I've yet blog about my New Year Resolutions. But while I was in the toilet (pardon me), I was just thinking, like I always do (yeah, in the toilet), I have a New Year Wish for you (since your school is starting), that is:

Hope you will be able to do well in the new Semester

When I say well, I mean at least an A or B+ for each module ;)

To have motivations to start assignments and revision for exams earlier =x

To have good team mates for assignments

More good luck to come....

And more $$ for your "investments"

You know I will pray for you, I always will......

你怎麼捨得我難過

I heard the following song on Channel 8's 黄金年华. Felt a little emo over it. Because the song seems to be singing what I am feeling now. I can relate to it totally.

對你的思念　是一天又一天
孤單的我還是沒有改變
美麗的夢　何時才能出現
親愛的你　好想再見你一面

秋天的風　一陣陣的吹過
想起了去年的這個時候
你的心到底在想些什麼
為什麼留下這個結局讓我承受

最愛你的人是我　你怎麼捨得我難過
在我最需要你的時候　沒有說一句話就走
最愛你的人是我　你怎麼捨得我難過
對你付出了這麼多　你卻沒有感動過

Uncluttering Room and Virgin Trip to Shanghai Dolly, New Year Day

I was packing my room on the first day of New Year. Apparently I read that clutters in the room will block the Chi and thus the good luck. I suspect that was the case why my Love (romance and relationship) didn't turn out smooth sailing from 2009 - 2010. Because prior to that in 2008, I was sleeping in the living room, which is quite free of clutters ! In addition to that, I think my Love and Romance in 2008 was good, because I went out on a few dates before I decided on (you know who).

This year, I decided to change my FengShui, at least this is something that I can do, rather changing other people's character or changing people's perspectives of me.  Before I did the physical changes to my room, I read up alittle stuff on the Internet to find out where is my love(romance and relationship direction) and directions that represent my wealth and health, etc. As I didn't have a compass, I tried using my Iphone. If it is relatively accurate, my love direction is full of clutters (my clothes and previous mattress I'm using when I was 厅长 ), maybe that is why I have so many obstacles in love after I shifted into the room. As you all know, my room was previously used by my brother and sister-in-law, some of their unwanted stuff are also in the room. Maybe all these "previous relationships" (although not mine) is preventing my good relationship with the MAN that I want.

Just for knowledge, the Love (romance and relationship) direction for both the men and ladies is the Southwest of the house/room. But for the ladies, we can also activate our "Men" area (Northwest) as indicated by this website.

Currently, I am just removing the clutters in my room. Apparently, I only did 1/4 of them. Just the 2 corners of my room. I am still considering whether I am going to do those strategies as suggested by the fengshui articles or should I just let fate decide for me? But then again, bad chi may prevent my fate from happening! Ponder....

After I cleaned that 1/4 of the room, I posted a status update on my Facebook and Sharon commented on it:

Haha, we were still half-hearted whether to go out or not even at 11pm. In the end we decided to go and Sharon called a friend to see if he wanted to go as well. I thought she called Sino, her colleague cum drinking pal who I met 2 times, when I went out with Sharon.

Anyway, I was there first because Sharon has to go to St James to renew her membership card. Her friend was already there too when I messaged her. She gave him my number and he messaged me to ask where I was. I was at the taxi stand and we agreed to meet outside Shanghai Dolly. If you know me, you know that usually I don't like to trouble others and most importantly, I do have alot of stubborn and ego traits. Thus, even though I didn't know the place, I decided to go and find my own way. I walked from one end to another, south to north, west to east and I'm declared LOST! It was just then Sharon called and asked where I was. They then came and "picked" me up at The Clinic.

Met Sharon's friend for the first time. He's Lennart. Quite a tall guy. It was already past 12 midnight when we met.

Sharon brought me into the club and she asked if it is okay that she opened 1 Martell and we share. This is my Virgin trip there. When we were there, we also saw Zhiwei, a CI Batchmate of me and Sharon. Gosh. It is a long 10 years since I last saw him.

This Zhi Wei and Sharon:

 

Chatted with Zhiwei for a while. He asked where I was working. We exchanged numbers because he is interested in volunteering at least once a year for this year onwards. Luckily we met him and in the end, we gotten some seats for ourselves. As you know I can't really dance... thus I need to at least sit down and maybe just shake my upper body. lolx.

As usual, Sharon met some friends there and she went over to talk and drink with them, while I chatted with Lennart. Quite a nice guy as a first impression.

Sharon, Lennart and I played some games and I had to drink 3 glasses as forfeits in total! I enjoyed most of the songs by the band. I think I just enjoyed chilling out, chatting, social drinking and playing games. Most importantly, it is just the hanging out, enjoying with friends, listening to songs
.....

To end of, some photos of the night:

 Sharon and Lennart

Guess what time we left the place?

Sharon said that she would leave the place at 3am because she has some wedding lunch and baby shower to attend. Apparently, we left at 4+am! She said she was surprised I didn't make any noise. lolx.

I told her the last time I made noise was because it was a weekday after work and I was too full to drink any drinks, This time round, it was a weekend, I had my dinner hours ago and I wasn't tired.

When we left, Sharon went onto a cab with another friend of hers, without saying bye to us! lolx. Think she's already half drunk. Lennart who stays in Woodlands, offered to send me and drop of at my place before heading home. I appreciates that gentleman gesture. 

To end of, hope that 2011 will be a great year for all!

P.S: I've not left. I'm just outside your door. You will see me if you are willing to open your door.

About Women, About me.

I remember browsing through a book called  

 "Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man: What Men Really Think About Love, Relationships, Intimacy, and Commitment"    by Steve Harvey when I was walking through Times Bookstore during one of the days during my Annual Leaves in December 2010.

The title looked interesting and captured my attention, and still is at this point of time. Sometimes, I really wonder, how much do I really understand MEN. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Maybe it is only some species of men that I understand. Sometimes I thought I do, but I guessed I had assumed I did when I didn't. Maybe because humans are no longer simple. Some can no longer be explained using the Psychology that we once knew or studied.

I was browsing through the content page and I saw some interesting topics and I flipped to the page and I could almost relate to what was written. Absolutely. The book also includes the perspective of men with regards to love, relationship and intimacy. Maybe I might just purchase this book when I next visit the bookstore to see if they have any Fengshui Kit.

Anyway, this book was just a random thought that was triggered when I was chatting with Alvin regarding me wanting to get a compass and he suggested me getting a fengshui kit from Harris bookstore. I was thinking to myself what other bookstores there are in Tampines since I don't remember any Harris in Tampines. And Times bookstore in Tampines One came to my mind and thus that book.

And I started googling for the book, and I came across a quote in the book which I totally can relate to, and here it is:

"Nothing on this planet can compare with a woman’s love—it is kind and compassionate, patient and nurturing, generous and sweet and unconditional. Pure. If you are her man, she will walk on water and through a mountain for you, too, no matter how you’ve acted out, no matter what crazy thing you’ve done, no matter the time or demand. If you are her man, she will talk to you until there just aren’t any more words left to say, encourage you when you’re at rock bottom and think there just isn’t any way out, hold you in her arms when you’re sick, and laugh with you when you’re up. And if you’re her man and that woman loves you—I mean really loves you?—she will shine you up when you’re dusty, encourage you when you’re down, defend you even when she’s not so sure you were right, and hang on your every word, even when you’re not saying anything worth listening to. And no matter what you do, no matter how many times her friends say you’re no good, no matter how many times you slam the door on the relationship, she will give you her very best and then some, and keep right on trying to win over your heart, even when you act like everything she’s done to convince you she’s The One just isn’t good enough.
That’s a woman’s love—it stands the test of time, logic, and all circumstance. "

"Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man: What Men Really Think About Love, Relationships, Intimacy, and Commitment" is a book that is good to read whether you are in a relationship, looking for one or even when you are not.
