well, the new year hasn't been as bad as i thought it would be. i mean the usual visiting stuff, catching up a little on sleep. oh yes, and the twins had this little birthday thing on sunday. when i'm less lazy, i'll get to those photos.
i've been dreaming too much lately, so much so that i wake up more tired than when i go to sleep. it's kinda frustrating. it's like taking sleeping pills, only your body sleeps but your mind does not. bleah.
at this point in time i'm just really itching to touch a really good piano. i was playing my upright just now and so many keys are spoilt and it's really starting to get really out of tune. i think i should do something bout that. really. i mean, no matter how much people say that its all about the skill, the instrument really plays a part. if what you play sounds as good as its supposed to sound, you just wanna keep playing... but if it sounds like crap, you just wanna stop playing... for me at least. anyone wanna help me out here?
oh yes, i finished the twilight saga. and that places me... erm... totally smitten by edward cullen (i dun think you want me to elaborate on this point, i'll bore you to death). and seth is unbelievably cute... he's my favorite "werewolf" in the book. carlisle is amazingly cool. renesmee is so precious. and alice just seems so fun to be around. right and the guy who plays edward in the movie... rob pattison... he's evolving from just cute to hot. so help me. he just smolders. can't believe he turned down the role of edward cullen cos he thought he was afraid he wasn't good looking enough. as much as edward is described as being as good looking as adonis (some really really really out of this universe good looking greek god), i think he fills the shoes well enough.
i'm just doing this to pass time. can't sleep.
and i'm once again dreading to go back to work. ugh, i seriously need to figure this out. how am i going to figure this out?! and you wonder why i can't seem to really sleep....
and then there's all this stupid stuff going on in a place where it's all this stuff is not supposed to be happening and it's jsut getting really old and tiring. why can't people just understand this ONE simple concept. KEEP IT REAL. that's all it takes. why pretend to be something or someone you're not? why pretend to believe in something that you don't really believe in? why try to mask your true intentions if you think they are so right? goodness. it's just all so dumb, so unnecessary, all so *roars and pulls hair out*. and you wonder why i can't seem to really sleep....
new moon among other stuff
Monday, January 19, 2009 5:31 AM
i dunno where to start. okay let's recount, take it step by step.
i've finished the second book, new moon, in less than a total of 8 reading hours. fast paced, exciting, i could barely put it down... mainly cos i kept waiting for the return of edward into the book. it was easy to relate to the characters in the book and sympathize with them. the moment edward reappeared i just HAD to finish the book there and then. i must say that edward is a character with such depth, i must say the book does not say enough about him. too bad it's all written in bella's perspective. i am utterly disappointed with the person who released midnight sun before the writer could finish it cos now i dun think we'll ever get to see things in edward pov. like i said when i satched the movie (kudos to robert pattison). tall, dark, brooding and dashingly handsome. of cos he's supposed to look better than in the movie... edward's supposed to be really really really really really really really really (how many times have i said that) goodlooking. i can't wait for the new book. and the next....
focusing on the more realistic side of life.... i met up with rica, berno and mich on sat. i forgot how random we could all be, and oddly enough the randomness was the norm. although we were so random, the flow of the conversation still seemed logical to us... hahahah it's amazing. i'm gonna miss them in office so much....
sigh. the prospect of going back to work is just crippling. okay, i'm being such a drama queen.
training programme is getting more "xiong". in ying qin's words... its either "up la" or "shiok".
share your secrets, dun care the world on your shoulders. it's not yours to carry.
ta-ta.
bread crumbs

watching talented people makes me feel inadequate.
i have not packed my bag and i realised it's freaking 2330hrs. freak.
tmr's training programme is madness. 12' 8' 4'; 2' rest; 2 sets; 5' rest between sets.
so i met up with ags, sze and liz last night. we had lots of fun exchanging stories (the nicer word for gossip really) and laughing wildly at our usual hangout marche @ vivo. it was freezing though, even for the 3 of them who have "braved melbourne winter".
oh yes, mengyean and i went for the massage today. pretty good stuff... relaxing. but i still prefer a good ole' thai massage. i'm a strong believer in pain (no i'm not a sadist).
i've also finally uploaded church camp photos. that's pretty long overdue. so my schedule for the rest of the week pretty much goes like that...
thurs train, work work work, the duchess
fri train, work work work, ball & gym, cellgroup
sat that torah thing, music prac, church, dinner with bmi groupies
sun train, reunion lunch....
i think i'm going to schedule american psycho into my sun. i'm gonna do just that! ha! so i was talking to steph and the next few week, the box office has pretty awesome releases. in order of release - inkheart, the soloist (a must watch muso movie) & doubt, the curious case of benjamin burton & underworld:rise of the lycans, the boy in the stripped pyjamas, revolutionary road. but considering my budget in the coming two months, i highly doubt i'll be catching every single one of those.
in that same line of thought, i wanna watch the dark knight AGAIN. i can't believe sze and liz caught it in 3D, i'm super jealous. sze says its not a biggie... but it's dark knight in 3D!!!! i have this urge now to go buy every single DVD of heath's films. including the gay one. having it all would be fantabulous!
okay it's almost cinderella hour, sleep beckons and i'm going to answer its call. g'night!
catching up
Monday, January 12, 2009 4:42 AM
okay new look for the new year.
i've been pretty caught up in quite a bit of stuff lately. with the relocation of workplace and training for SCM obviously blogging was not one of my priorities.
well, so what has gone down? shums and i successfully completed the 28k marathon on sunday... though towards the end my back was killing me and her head was dizzy throughout the race. thank God for that. we did not cap and we survived all those crazy proteges. it was an experience i'd never forget and i am still aching and my back is still stiff.
following that line of thought, i decided to book a massage for wednesday. i'm looking forward to that.
we had reunion lunch on sun with mom's side of the extended family. it was nice seeing my cousins again. family just makes me happy. catching up... playing bridge. this i cannot resist telling. i won a game of bridge where i bid 4 no trump!!!!! so all that card playing and chatting. i had a nice afternoon even though i was half dead.
today, after waking early to go meet mark to help him with a lil' advice on his graphic design stuff, i decided to head down to work early. when i walked into the office, i felt like the air became thicker and i looked around and i saw a war zone. no lights, no nothing. so i can officially declare now, due to the state of the office, i will be working in the comforts of my home everyday till further notice from 1-6pm. awesome stuff right? i'm grateful, cos i work better at home anyway.
oh yes, i bought my jason mraz tickets!!!!!!!! can't wait... since i missed him at singfest. of cos, i'm still waiting for john mayer to make his appearance and of cos lifehouse once and again. i spend too much on concerts and plays... darn it.
