Stewpig mozzies.... I hate them! Kept me up all night again last night.... Sheessh...
Was so determined to get rid of them that I finally went downstairs and bought 2 boxes of mosquito coils... Hopefully that will keep them away.
Was talking to adrian about blogging... and had a sudden inclination to add an entry before I leave to go for tuition. He was just mentioning that he feels like he doesn't know what's the point of keeping a blog anymore, since there's nobody to read them.
Well, for me, I write for my own pleasure. True, there will be times when you feel so dry... and the mood to log down your thoughts are not of utmost priority... But that does not warrant a blog shut down. hahah... I confess to being one of those who are so lazy at times that I just stay away for days.... or weeks....
Anyway, mood hasn't not been fantastic. I mean I still have fun cuz it's still the CNY period after all. (Yesterday had the most yummylicious dinner with my dad's side of the family cuz it's that 7th day of CNY... What they call 'REN RI'... it's considered everyone's birthday for God knows what reason...)
BUT there's always the but... I guess it's me being out of job and all that pulling me down. Feels like being out of a job is kinda irresponsible. Oh wells.... Hahaha... But I do need a job REAL SOON! Need to get my ass moving to send out more resumes.
Highlight of these couple of days: 12 escargots... Haha....

Valentine's Day and the 6th day of CNY!
Man.. how time flies! It's already the 14th of February and the 6th day of the Lunar New Year!
And it sure seems like it was only yesterday that I was having reunion dinner with my family!
But I guess time flies by so quickly because we're having a good time... and I HAVE been having a good time the last couple of days! Loads and loads of food... new year goodies and Ang Baos. But then again, I usually give most of my ang bao collection back to my mum to make up for what she has to give out. I only keep those that are from more special ppl like Rob's dad and my favourite aunty. Not to mention those that my parents give me.
Anyway, I love CNY too because it's the only time that we're allowed to gamble.
Not that I like to gamble, but I like the feeling of how most of the family members gather around some dining table or something, and play cards. Our family always play this game of four cards (per player), with a pair of leading cards, and a pair at the 'back'... To win, you have to have these two pairs bigger than that of the bankers. It simple and yet really fun! Addictve even I would say. However, the turn over rate is so darn fast! You don't even hold the card for more than 15 secs... just see, arrange and shoot... therefore it also means that you can win or lose (min)$2-(max)$10 (depending on how much you bet per round) in just 30 secs.
Hehehe... I Love it! But luck hasn't been so good to me this year. Haven't won much, neither have I lost plenty. So I guess I should be contented. Hehehe....
Anyway, Happy Valentine's Day one and all! I'm off to spend time with Robbie!! :)

Can't stand Mozzies...
Haven't been sleeping well these couple of nights.... Always waking up in the middle of the night due to multiple mosquito bites.... hate them! And can't turn on the air-con too... (cuz I usually deal with them by turning on the air-con) cuz my compressors like 13 years old, and makes hell lot of noise and if I turn on my air-con, my parents will be woken up by the noise... and they prob will be trouble going back to sleep...
Yeah.. stupid mosquitoes...
And this happens even when I'm like super tired! Like yest.
Went blading with dan, yilin, roy and rob. After like 40 mins, I was like sooooo tired that I couldn't bring my legs to start moving. Couldn't lift them up so I could blade properly, and it simply refused to cooperate and coordinate. So I gave up... started walking back from Mac's right to the end at Ford Road where dan's car was parked.
After that, reached home, dropped off blades and stuff, went to my aunt's place for dinner. Reached home around 10ish and had to accompany my mum to the market to buy stuff for the NY. And I had to walk everywhere....
When I finally hit the bed, was so tired that I simply concussed... But STUPID MOZZIES! Had to wake me up in the middle of the night with their intolerable bites... so ITCHY!
Should have bought those mozzie coils tonight to smoke them away but forgot.
But then again, din have time to also. Had dinner with jean and mel at Insomnia at Chijmes. Been a long time since we met up... we totally missed last year and as usual, jean attracted loads of stares... thank goodness most of the customers at the restaurant were ang mohs... so they prob don't watch local drama serials... so only the locals were looking at her... But t'was good catching up!
Anyway, we are trying to plan a cookout before March, before jean's schedule gets heated up again... am looking forward to it! Hehehe....
P.S. 2.30 am and I'm gonna watch princess diaries 2... wahahahha

Love is in the air....
oh Sweet sigh....
Been spending quite abit of free time watching soppy lovey movies... such as Ella the Enchanted, The Cinderella Story, 13 going 30, Firelight, Confessions of a Teenage drama queen.... and many more.... Sigh... Can't help feeling lousy after watching every time because the movies are all so fairy tale like... All with happy endings... And for myself? Future's so uncertain... I guess that's why I like watching those movies. Gives you a false sense of sweetness, a taste of what could have been but yet impossible, in the movies.
Hahaha... Silly me....
Anyway... Finished reading a book too. Le Seperation. It was kinda interesting. Give a really darn good insight to how ppl who are going through seperation might feel. All confused, mixed up... The book brought me through a thorough process, stage by stage, the healing process of a broken man... Am halfway through The Shipping News now. Rather interesting but remains to be seen...
Must be too much of these 'feel shitty' stuff that I felt kinda shitty today. Not to mention that it's Thursday and I've recieved no calls yet. Oh wells... Perhaps it's time to move on....
P.S. Just added a link to Dannie's Photo Log... Not too bad for a newbie I must say... Heheh... Keep it up dude!

Shopping!
Can't believe I spent the whole day shopping today! Met angie after lunch to accompany her to do her new year shopping but ended up doing some shopping myself indeed!!
1. Two bottles of Loreal 'Jetset' nail polish - $9.90 (Special Promotion)
2. 1 packet of finger guards - $1.00 (Been doing so much sewing that my fingers with mild ezcema got worse! Definitely need finger guards)
3. 1 sphaghetti-strap top from Seed - $11.30 (Own one in pink, bought a blue one because it's on 30% discount, it's so CHEAP! And of course not to mention, super comfy)
4. 1 black pleated skirt from South Haven - $55.10 (Been searching high and low for this out of the fashion pleated skirt and simply couldn't find a nice one anywhere. Bought it after much consideration... With my heart feeling squeezed after I made payment of course)
ARGH!!!! Splurging!!!! When I'm jobless!! URGHS!!! Lemme see.. That would be a total of $77.30!!!! Man... And that was not all.... Moving on...
Met mummy and daddy for dinner near home. Had a date with mum today to go shopping at Chinatown. Our annual practice... so as to purchase stuff to make our house feel more 'New Year-ly'... And being a woman like all other women., I did some shopping for myself too....
1. A hair towel that supposedly is able to absorb water 3x more than the usual bath towel that we use - $10
2. A casual sling pouch - $17 (Was looking around for one so that I can just dump my keys, wallet, mobile, tissue.. and even rob's wallet and mobile into it... and just zip out)
Total: $27.00
Overal Total: $104.30
Sigh... only comfort to myself is that... I don't always spend like this.. Just like how I don't always spend $55 on a skirt. It's for NEW YEAR... an occasion... Anyway, angie was telling me that skirt is suitable for dinners as well... Which I totally agree... Oh wells... Haha....
But the GOOD NEWS for the day is: I might have fairly found myself a tuition kid! Compliments from my dear cuzzie who's a teacher. She (the kid) called me up today but was busy shopping.. so told her that I will return her call tom... Haha... Oh well... Hopefully this pulls through. At least I'll get some pocket money... Before lady luck decides to give me more of the spotlight and actually give me a good job deal.... *keeping fingers crossed*

Changes...
Came in blogspot wanting to leave a new post (felt guilty about not having left any for such a long time)....somehow made me feel like how my life has been pretty 'stagnant' while everything else around in changing...
But then again, life's been pretty ok for me. Somehow it's filled with stuff to do (partly cuz I make it an effort to find things to do I guess) so time's been passing real quick. Activities include, blading, shopping, coffee, reading, eating, sleeping, sewing... Haven't exactly sent out that many resumes since STB and MDA and was just telling myself that after these couple of days, I'll start actively sending out more... lol.... talk about complacency....
Hahah... Yeah! Have started a new hobby since I was unemployed. I started getting really interested in embellishing my older blouses with beads and sequins to give them some what a make over and things have been turning out fine. So much so that my mum dug out two of her new blouses to get me to sew some on them as well... BUT just like my other 'on-the-spur-of-the-moment' hobbies.... I fore see that my interests will not last long.... heheheh
Was on my way home yesterday, in the lift lobby when I thought I saw a tiny brown leaf drifting past me because the wind was blowing... And out of the lift, came out this lady (wouldn't call her petite)... and I noticed how as she stepped out, she happened to step on the 'leaf'... and I actually heard a 'squeak'.... and when she walked off... Guess what? The tiny brown 'leaf' was actually a baby lizard... that was now squashed, bloody and gross looking....
I din know lizards are blooded too... Hrrm... what an ignoramus.....
*Disgusting*....

Strength...
It's amazing how you are finding out new things about people around you everyday. People that you meet often, people that you hardly meet... and each time you do, there's something that you realise about them, that may give you a perspective to them that you have never seen before.
Something happened today. I met up with two friends of many years for breakfast today. One of them just went through a very bad breakup. I was amazed at how she was relating it to us so calmly, so matter of factly that at the end of it, I was admiring her from the bottom of my heart for her strength. Even as I felt her pain, it was only one hundredth of what I think she must have been feeling. Yet never once did she break down... If it were another woman in her shoes, she would have gone berserk. I would have gone berserk. Prob mope around in bed for 2 whole months at least.
Her strength has left a deep impression on me. So deep that I found that I have alot to learn from this dear friend. She does not only exemplify strength, but humility and a level of graciousness that I was almost awed by. I hope and I pray that she will find peace within...
I will be praying always for you dear. That He may always be there to comfort you, to help you see beyond the past, and forward to the future. To me, you are goodness in every sense of the word and from the bottom of my heart, I admire you. Hang in there...
