Mood ah

Planning to stay at home todae before heading out tonight. Still waiting for the peeps to finish the papers. As for now, just like to sit and relax in ma comfy abode before doing some weights. Messaged Nitasya and was told of Zouking this wed~! perfect! Its been ages since I've stepped my partying toes on that dance floor since they renovated the place. I wonder how Phuture looks like now... hmmzzz

Headed down to Plaza Sing yesterday for a evening out with Raf after a long hiatus. Nothing thrilling but simple nonetheless. Apparently the bloke is a big fan of shiny shirts tsk >



It was by coincidence I was wearing the Superman shirt the gang bought for me back on my birthday. Good taste I must say *winks

We watched "The Hills Have Eyes" > and no, this has nothing to do with the land of Tellytubbies or PeeWee's World. I have never been so stressed watching a movie!



FREAKSHOW!!!


Lately, I still encounter some people who haven't shed off the bad habit of disclosing private information or secrets especially to strangers/aquaintences or whatever. For me, it is an issue which I dont find surprising but it is a lesson which I am glad to be reminded of over and over again. It makes me wonder if it indicates one's social inaptness or was it really intentional? (expecting me to taddle) Either way, looking at what I've been through, I'm leaning towards the latter. I dont like the way I think about how people have some ulterior motive in telling me things which I'm not supposed not know or should necessarily know.

I ask in my heart: "Why are you telling me this?" " So what?" "Am I supposed to do anything about it?"

Simply put, it's mind games which I have no intention of getting myself into. But nonetheless, if I do seem simple minded on the outside, then I think I'd stick that way cus it'll be an eye opener for me to see the hearts of people.

Trust is indeed an issue worthy of contention. How do you know you can trust someone? How well do you know of a friend whom you can pour your heart's content? If you know of a person whom you just met and he/she tells you stuff which are of no consequence to you but you know it is sensitive and private nonetheless would you still want to be friends?

I think it has become increasingly difficult to trust people these days. Even though your closest friends and family are your pillars of support, can you truly count on them not to bail out on you even on the tiniest of issues like love, sex, life etcetera....?

I know its very ugly but I still do have faith in people. Would it be a weakness to trust?
Yes, I do agree that when you trust someone with your secrets or private information you make yourself very very vulnerable. But if human relations are to be given any measure of worth, it is important to know whom you can or cannot trust or what sort of things you should or should not disclose. Ultimately we are answerable to ourselves.

Consider the foolishness of loose tongues and hope wisdom will come to light.

Yikes!

Farewell Ayumi!!!

The exams have come to an end HURRAYS!!! Feels like a whole burden has been lifted from ma shoulders! Looking forward to the holidays and I aint gonna sit idling by baby!

Boss called me to ask me to come back to work on Labour Day and honestly i couldn't be happier to do so. Its kinda odd that I'm actually looking forward to work so I'm pretty glad that I've found a job that I enjoy doing in a working environment that is welcoming and absent of politics. Ease is such a breeze!

As soon as I finished the last paper, I rushed to Changi Airport to see Ayumi off. Boon Hock couldn't come :( San and Shanhu had their bags in tow with presents each for birthday parties they had to go to.

I can't help but feel glad to meet a sweet, soft spoken Japanese girl. She works hard for what she wants and the same time Ayumi has this calm aura which betrays her underlying industriousness. Hmmm I can learn a thing or two from that. Ahakz! She said I could come visit her in Kobe when in transit from Tokyo to Osaka on the Shinkensen! so exciting!




She left each of us with a scented sachet from Kyoto. SWEET!

Singapore will miss her dearly! Until then JA NE!!!

Majestic Istanbul

Blessed be the nations who stand for the bastion of cultures and religions

It's Earth Day!

Oh cheezlebums! My first paper is TOMORROW!!! OH MY GAWD!!!!
First up : Methods and Practices in Geography
Deux : Environmental Change in the Tropics
Tiga : Principles in Communications Management
Si : Leisure, Recreation and Tourism
Five : Cultural Astronomy

I'm really dreading this Astronomy module. This will teach me to choose modules carefully next time. ahakz!

I must say that I feel pretty relaxed about this round of exams. I dont know why. All I'm thinking about is the holidays. I'm gonna work ma butt off to save up to pay off the gym membership, the laptop loan and save up for my trip to Tokyo next year! As for this coming holidays its all set with Karl that I'm heading to Bangkok again this August. hehe! gotta make sure that I spend more time at Chatuchak (sic) Market!!! It'll be a riot I tell ya!

Yesterday was Earth Day. A time for reflection, a time to slap our faces. Spent most of the day watching National Geographic. You know it's really disheartening how barbaric humans can get.... Despite our intelligence, greatest achievements and power, we have let our arrogance and greed to desecrate the very foundations of life. We have seemingly been so confident of our lordship over earth. I am very worried about the state we have put our planet in. Hopefully, I can make the difference... I'll reach out to the heavens and pray for God to have mercy on this planet. We have stained this earth with blood, blackened the skies with lies, putrified the oceans with hate, let our hearts be consumed with lust, and be seduced with greed! How magnificent are your abominations, sons of Adam! I wonder how long how this loving planet can contain the sins of mankind...... I await whilst God's hand yield our fates to an uncertain destiny.

For every beginning there is an end, for every act of compassion there is a garden, for every sin there is fire

Just came across the Sony Ericsson website and fell in love with the K550i! : http://www.sonyericsson.com/capturingitlive/Singapore/



I loike! I absolutely LOIKE! HECK! I LOVE IT! ...... my pocket! my pocket!!! AAAAAAHHHHH!

Well, lets look on the bright side, at least it'll replace that digital camera. I miss taking pictures... sobz....

Wish me all the best! (back to mugggzzz)

dear slog
Didnt it ever occur to you that project assignment tasks can be pushed around? well now you know. here's one more. enjoy your sundae.

I'm Asian. I can do this hahahahaha! ~

Good Fridae / Bad Fridae

Yesterday after work, I headed down to Al Majlis to join Yasmin for dinner and hopefully to get some studying. hmmmm studying.... outside?/..... with Yasmin?? haha very very unlikely. My attention span on my notes wont last! tee hee!

As I was sitting there, I was saddened by the news that she had argued with a very close friend and I'm afraid that she might have already lost a jewel in her life. I can't help but think twice about the stability of friendships. You can just invest a lot of effort and emotions into a friendship, thinking that things are going to be peachy and lasting till you grow old but no..... Things and issues can just suddenly come in between you two and then all bonds seems to melt/snap away just because of some stupid little arguement/misunderstanding - bah humbug!

However, thinking back on the things that has been going on in my life, I asked myself if I had dumped friends or people whom I thought I cared about. The truth that I wont deny is that I had indeed. I get selectful with the people whom I mix with but that goes against my ideals of being and open person and accepting the flaws of humans. But no, I am actually selfish and I got to realise this only now. If turn this issue on its head, yes, there have been people who have dumped me out of their lives. Sometimes its my fault, sometimes I dunno why.

But the crux of the matter is, I can't judge Yasmin's friend cus I'm just the same. What I can do now is NOT to do it again. What goes around comes around and if my social life were to resemble some measure of diplomacy and respect, I have to be tolerant. And even if I dont like the person, I need to control my ego and not let it make things unpleasant or anybody at the very least. In the beggining of this year, I made it my life's mission to maintain the "Kibbun" which is the Korean philosophy of maintaining good relations with the people around us. Hopefully, the seeds of paradise will bear fruit in my heart.

Plenty of reasons to be happy todae :
1) Banking in ma paycheck later
2) Ma date this afternoon
3) My California Fitness Membership!!!!
4) Not only did I found my ipod shuffle, I also had my ipod nano repaired!

*watching KBS channel now. they've got these lil' funny programmes. now they are showing "From Housewives To Rock Stars" hehehe its like this karaoke thingy on stage complete with backup dancers! cool beans!

Salaam

OOOOOOOOOOHhhhhhh YeAhh!!!

I've finished the bulk of ma projects!!!! AHAKZ! KAHAKZ! RABAKZ! *cough cough...

I happy can? hehe! gosh i feel so relieved i finishing them and the feeling of submitting to the lecturers is so HIGH! hehe! Now at least i can catch up on the lecture's i've missed on webcast and do up the readings at full speed tho i have one more project to go.

Yesterday, before heading for ma tutee's i stopped by California Fitness and Fitness First Gym to try do some comparison. Found out that the monthly membership between the two are a vast diff > $58 versus $133....... so Cali wins handsdown. You know its such a shame i could have gone for Fitness First @ the AMK Hub, one of the rare gyms in the HDB heartlands. I've been waiting for one that is NOT in the city districts. I mean why would i wanna travel so far right? But in any case i like hanging out in busy surburbia as well - people rushing here and there, the neon lights, the buzzz > city life gives me an upbeat mood, the hustle and bustle of humanity. I have to choose whether I want to go for Cali. But ummmmm, there's the NUM offer.... I gotta make choices baybeh.

I came across this article in an email and it has woke me up to the issue of re-using mineral water bottles. And for being the eco-green, all for recycling person that i am, i can't help but feel distressed cus if i cant re-use them, then what what will happen if i just keep on adding to this toxic plastic trash to the millions of tonnes of rubbish? well they'd better provide more "plastic recycle" bins! I know its kinda blur but click on it to see a clear view of the text.




Off to jogging now! after a very very LOOOOOONNNNGGG time!!!
