It's been weeks since i've blogged??! most unacceptable.
I've missed it.
Missed having my own time and space within which to be inspired.
Motivated? Yes.
In fact, just a day out of work during the week is such a welcome relief.
It's tiring, draining to be constantly straining to communicate properly in english.
Tough, but a real challenge that can run into the strangest, funniest circumstances.
As Miss Heng (SC principal) said, you can't run a school without that humour and wit.
I'd like to add that you can't survive in the most trying circumstances without that ability to take a step back and laugh at the most dire circumstances.
Really.. shit happens. and we have to learn to laugh at it .. look beyond the grey clouds.
I bore witness to a lovely wedding today. My cousin's wedding.
It was wonderful on more accounts than one as i was reunited with some ex-colleagues whom i used to work with about 2 years back. :) lovely. i love reunions!
Weddings...where we bear witness to a couple who finally take that step forward and claim their love and commitment to each other. Weddings are special in so many ways and I just love to see the beginnings of something that can be so beautiful. To have someone to love and support you and vice versa and to bring out the best in each other. Now, that is idealistic but surely.. many have seen the wonders it can create.
As they say, you don't marry the one you want to live with but the one you cannot imagine living without.
Am Very very happy for 2 close friends who have decided to take that step in affirming their relationship to each other as well. What can I say? Am just very happy I asked a nice question to set right the mood and pave the way :)
I should really look into being a wedding planner! haha.. although knowing the pains it will take, i'm a LITTLE reluctant ;p
Ladies always look towards creating that perfect wedding for themselves. In reality, the actual wedding does matter in creating that experience for your guests. In a way, it is akin to recreating your love story and the guests bearing witness to each of you declaring your love for each other and commitment from this day forward. But the truth is... we should learn to take it easy, the vow is the most important thing and everything else will fall into place without us going ga-ga over it. Micromanaging isn't going to help either. Somehow, people can see when 2 people are in love and that's all that really matters,not creating that perfect setting and fabricating something just so the guests have an enjoyable time. I think simple is best.

the weeks have been flying by...
It's been close to 6 months since i've joined the company.
i'm happy
i'm tired
i'm exhilirated
my heart is constantly beating really fast
i've had dozens of cups of coffee from across the road, killiney, to the neighbouring food centre, restaurants... takeaway... from the office Nescafe machine... etc.
i have climbed the wooden stairs and spiral stairs at least 5 times each day multiplied by 5+ months.
i have had 鱼片米粉just one time too many i think! ;p
i've gotten tremendously excited
contemplated rolling down the stairs many times to get to the 1st floor faster
flushed the toilet thousands of times cos it just can't seem to work
repeated my instructions whether internally or externally at least trillions of times
sent countless emails and refused to delete them for fear of needing to dig up little nuggets of info.
my mail inbox is officially bursting at the seams
lost weight
bought cake from The Patissier!
called for a cab from MY FAVOURITE Taman Jurong taxi service many many many times!!!
met various great friends for lunch at neighbouring food centres and makan joints..
all in all, it's been one hellavu ride!
am i ready for more?!

Well, I really must thank you for setting the mood right. I really enjoyed recounting the story of Audrea and myself.
It was a little uncanny that you'd ask for us to tell it. But in my mind, I was like, "Score! That'll set things right!"
haha.. only too happy to have done a little something :)
