What's so special about V-day??? That's the question I always ask and I'm still pondering about it...
I always dread going out on V-day. It's so OTT with flowers etc...I remembered once when hub gave me flowers, I actually put it in a paper bag cos I felt so paiseh...
I'm not sure why but I'm just not that kinda of person...hehe...flowers, bears etc...its sooo not me...
I'm realistic...I want cashhhh...kidding lah...
This year's Vday was subdue for me...I told hub no need flowers etc (he sends them to my office every year - awww)...save $$$ for wedding dinner better...wahahaha....
Anyway Happy Vday guys!!!! I'm dedicating this all time fav luv luv song to everyone –
The Closer I Get to You - Beyonce & Luther Vandross
I'm back!! Been back for a week. Suffering from holiday withdrawal symptoms.
It's been a tough week at work. I don't really wanna go into details but for those who I've been complaining my work to, you know what I'm talking about....
I'm already thinking of my next trip overseas....really hate the hectic life here (sorry for complaining about this again)....
Btw if you're wondering about this pic, it's the front of my house...that's what I wake up to in the morning...nice???
Random Updates on my Life (too lazy to type an actual post) :
1) Trying to lead a healthy lifestyle. Swear that I must go jogging (or walking) at least twice a week. Dajie take note..hehe..
2) Faced with a dilemma at work. Not sure if I should apply for a senior post elsewhere. Kinda feel stagnant here yet I'm very comfie with the people (except the management).
3) Bro coming back on 20 June. I think he misses us cos' he has been msging and calling home frequently.
4) Just bought a Coach bag last week. It's my 2nd Coach bag but pls don't say wahhh, so branded. Both times, there was a 50% discount so there u go, I'm not rich. Poor as hell right now. Shame on me. I feel guilty for this purchase.
5) Can't wait for my pay day. For the reason why, please look at point 4. My lunch is basically biscuits from NTUC.
6) Did my facial last week, Pam (my usual beautician) is back. Hurray!! Didn't like the replacement.
7) Taking leave next week to stay at home and rot, since the 2 bosses are not around.
It's 130am on a Saturday night (or Sunday Monday)...can't fall asleep so I guess I'll blog...
Was out shopping today with hub & I saw some kids playing around...they looked so carefree..sometimes I wish I could just go back to the time when I was still a kid...
I remembered I used to play at the playground near my home or catching butterflies at my grandma's garden...without a care in the world. Now as an adult, I've got to think of this & that. Why can't I just return to when I was just a happy kid? Leaving the worries to all the adults. Life seems to be more at ease then. Sometimes I just want to run away....away from everything...
Maybe I'm a bit down cos' I heard that one of my distant relative suffered a stroke. I'm not close to her but the last time I saw her at my grand great ma's funeral, she seem fine...
Life's short in that way...oh gosh..I'm feeling real blue but I think I'll feel better after zzzzz...
Lovely song by Corrinne May (it's not a recent song..but it really tugs at your emotions)
I’m trying to make a conscientious effort to update my blog everyday so today will just be some random thoughts –
Well, basically for the past few days I’ve got meetings to attend (boring) and more reports to do. Anyway the clown is on half day medical leave today (yeah!!). He’ll be on leave this Friday too, away for 2 weeks (heaven to me) but I’ve got a nagging feeling that I’ll be more busy than usual. The last time he went to Australia, I was so busy.
I’ve also started teaching my ex-tuition student for a month before her PSLE starts. It’s been almost a year since I’ve seen her and gosh, she’s like taller than me and bigger size. Not only has her appearance changed but what I’ve taught her before has literally gone down the drain. In fact, I actually had to teach her from the basics again (shakes head) and I kind of reprimanded her yesterday though I’m the only one that she listens to. I used to get my friend’s sis to teach her which totally didn’t work out at all.
Sigh..she’s just not taking her studies seriously. I’m so worried for her. After seeing her progress, I can only conclude that the tuition center she used to study at is really crap. I don't believe in tuition centers, I feel that one-to-one interaction is always better. It’s a real pity that I couldn't teach her after I started working cos' I've actually fallen asleep while teaching her (I was that tired after work). But after seeing her sms for help, I couldn't just leave her alone and I’ve taught her since she was in Primary 3 so there's some sort of attachment there. Anyway I hope that she does well.. ^_^
Lately, some of my friends have been having problems with their other half. I suppose that is no such thing as a perfect relationship, everyone has their ups and downs. Even if we lend them a listening ear, it’s ultimately up to the individuals in the relationship. As an outsider, we'll be thinking – “gosh, if you’re not happy, just break up already”, but if we think deeper, it’s not an easy choice breaking up. There are feelings and emotions attached to it. That’s why I guess the best thing that most of us can do is to just listen, even with all the advice you’ve given, ultimately it’s not for us to decide.
For me, being happy is the most important thing so from time to time I can’t understand why couples are still together even if they are clearly not happy being in each other’s presence. I’ve been with the hub for around 7 years. Although we’ve got differences but we’re still comfortable with one another. At the end of the day, I can’t see myself being with anyone else.
So for those who feel crappy in a relationship, I dedicate this song to you by Jack Johnson – Better Together. Lovely song.
There's no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard, No song that I could sing But I can try for your heart, Our dreams, and they are made out of real things, Like a shoebox of photographs, With sepiatone loving, Love is the answer At least for most of the questions in my heart , Like why are we here? And where do we go? And how come it's so hard? It's not always easy, And sometimes life can be deceiving, I'll tell you one thing, its always better when we're together
Mmm, it's always better when we're together Yeah, we'll look at the stars when we're together Well, it's always better when we're together Yeah, it's always better when we're together
And all of these moments Just might find their way into my dreams tonight But I know that they'll be gone, When the morning light sings And brings new things, But tomorrow night you see That they'll be gone too, Too many things I have to do, But if all of these dreams might find their way Into my day to day scene I'll be under the impression, I was somewhere in-between With only two, Just me and you Not so many things we got to do, Or places we got to be We'll sit beneath the mango tree now
Yeah, it's always better when we're together Mmm, We're somewhere in-between together Well, it's always better when we're together Yeah, it's always better when we're together
Mmmmm Mmmmm Mmmmm I believe in memories They look so, so pretty when I sleep Hey now, and when, and when I wake up, You look so pretty sleeping next to me But there is not enough time, And there is no, no song I could sing And there is no combination of words I could say But I will still tell you one thing, We're better together
Just got an email from Vince on the characteristics of different horoscopes…
Guess what is mine?
Sagittarius - the happy-go-lucky one (this is what everyone describes sagis)
Characteristics- Good-natured optimist. Doesn't want to grow up (Peter Pan Syndrome). Indulges self. Boastful. Likes luxuries and gambling. Social and outgoing. Doesn't like responsibilities. Often fantasizes. Impatient. Fun to be around. Having lots of friends. Flirtatious. Doesn't like rules. Sometimes hypocritical. Dislikes being confined - tight spaces or even tight clothes. Doesn't like being doubted. Beautiful inside and out.
Anyway I wonder if this applies to all Sagis. Well, let’s see how true this is (to me)–
1) Good-natured optimist – Yes, I guess I am one…think happy thoughts.. 2) Doesn't want to grow up – I’m seriously having this syndrome now- To me, I’m always 18..hehe 3) Indulges self - Okay, I do enjoy going to the spa 4) Boastful – I think I am sometimes.. well, if it’s something to be proud of, why should we keep it quiet? 5) Likes luxuries and gambling – Luxuries, yes if I can afford..well for gambling, I do buy the lottery.. 6) Social and outgoing – I like to meet up with friends, if I do stay at home for a week, then I might have been abducted by an alien… 7) Doesn't like responsibilities – This is a little strange, cos I am a responsible person. Maybe this implies only when my mum wants me to tidy up my room and I take ages to do so.. 8) Often fantasizes – Hmm..I do fantasize occasionally..Johnny Depp here I come.. 9) Impatient – I have to admit I am impatient. I hate it when people are late for appointments (although I am always late) and I like to get things done up fast 10) Fun to be around. Having lots of friends – I hope my friends like me to be around..hehe 11) Flirtatious – Hmmm :P 12) Doesn't like rules – I hate rules and to follow by the book. Life’s not always about staying to the norm.. 13) Sometimes hypocritical – I could be hypocritical at times. I might smile at you but I might not like you…sorry… 14) Dislikes being confined – You could say that the thought of working in a room without any windows seriously freaks me out 15) Doesn't like being doubted – I do like to be trusted 16) Beautiful inside and out – I hope this is what people sees in me :)
