Q-Cut

I am so angry this morning!!!!

Was buying breakfast at a bakery this morning and I was already in the queue to make payment. As the lady infront of me wasn't served yet, I moved about 3 steps away to the open chiller to grab a drink and headed back. All this while, my tray was still on the counter behind the lady infront of me. This man behind me had the balls to move his tray infront of mine and cut my queue!!!! Who does he think he is? And guess what, I was staring at him and he didn't even dared to look at me in the eye. I mean, if you had the guts to cut my queue, you'd better have the guts to look at me.

Did I took it lying down? Of course not!! I asked him straight in the face that didn't he feel any sense of shame cutting infront of another lady right under her nose?? What did he answer me? Nothing!!! Arrghhhh......he acted as if I was talking to air. So of course, the cashier served him first because his tray was infront of mine. But you know what? He ordered a coffee which the cashier told him to dispense it himself from the machine. And while he was fumbling to do so, I was served and I got out of the store before he even got the coffee out of the dispensing machine.

My point is this, if you had bothered to use your brains to realise that the dispensing machine is faced outwards and with clearly labelled instructions for the customers to dispense their own beverages before making payment, you would have saved all that wasted time. And there isn't even a need to cut my queue!!! How can there be such people int his world? Uncivilised morons.

And to think that we're the host to the world next month when IMF starts. If this is the kind of impression we're going to give to our visitors, I cannot imagine what they're going to tell their people back home. Please people, this is simple basic manners and courtesy you should extend to EVERYONE. How would you feel if you were treated this way? Treat others the same way you would want to be treated. With respect, courtesy and a little smile.

Superstars In The Making

Tada!!! I present to you....... Superstars of the Lee Family!!!



C'mon...... indulge me. Been watching to much Singapore Idol these days.

Look Up

Thanks for all the concern shown. I will be fine. Really. I am a fighter remember?

Let's talk about some happy stuff shall we?



Yes, my little boy. Haven't been updating his progress for a very long time, so here goes:

- He's turning 10 months old next week
- A grand total of 4 teeth (2 upper & 2 lower)
- Crawls on his palms and knees instead of the leopard crawl style
- Pulls himself to standing position whenever he lays his hands on ANYTHING which can support him
- Attempts to let go of his support when he's standing but to no success because he just lands straight onto his buttocks
- Been "talking" alot and strikes a decent conversation with us whenever we're in the mood to entertain him
- Sits outside our bedroom door and starts knocking and fakes crying for us to open the door for him to come in
- Standby outside our door in the morning waiting for Yun Yi to open our door to use the toilet so he can crawl in after her
- Simply cannot be left alone, needs someone to pay attention to him
- Will chase after us to carry him but stops to make noise if you continue to walk away or ignore him
- Discovers the magic of hair pulling to wake his daddy up from bed
- Continues to put EVERYTHING he gets his hands on into his mouth
- Hyperactive!!! Cannot stop wriggling and moving about.

It's Gone

It's gone. Forever gone.

I am sorry that I didn't have the courage to be what I should have been. Really sorry.

Gathering @ East Coast

Had a secondary school gathering @ East Coast chalet over the weekend. It was also a farewell gahering for one of the guys who will be posted to the US by SAF. Good luck to him and take care. We'll miss him.

Anyway, it was a no partners allowed kind of thing so we had all the time in the world to goof around, talk rubbish, drink and just do nothing. Nice. Needless to say, we had great fun taking pictures as well, but all girls cos somehow men dislike the camera.











We should really make this a regular affair. Like once every quarter or something. What do you all think???

Murphy's Law

Murphy's Law : If anything can go wrong, it will.

Isn't it bewildering that when you're down on your luck, everything seems to go against you? It's like when you are too broke/busy to buy 4D, the regular numbers you always buy will just "open" that day. Or the clinic decides to close early that very moment you reach the clinic when you're truly sick.

A few years back, my washing machine, air-conditioner and water boiling flask all decided to konk out on me on the very same day. Fast forward a few years later.......yesterday, my room SCV set-up box, cable modem and spinning fountain all decided to malfunction. ALL AT ONCE ON THE SAME DAY!!!!! So much for coincidence huh?

I don't understand, really. I mean, are these electronic/electrical stuff in some kind of union where they decided to go on strike one fine day to tell me that they need a rest or more annual leave? Now I've go to get the set-up box changed, call Starhub to enquire about the cable modem tonight and get a new suction thingy for the fountain. Make me not free only. @*^#&%$%@*(_#&^

I hope that's the end of it though. Have had enough of rough waves the past month. Time for a smooth ride ahead...............

10 Years Ago

Girl was 15 years old. Boy was 22 years old.

Boy was introduced to girl by a mutual friend back then through the phone. They spoke all day and night on the phone for 7 consecutive days without meeting. Boy saw the girl's picture which his friend had. Girl didn't know what boy looked like.

Boy and girl finally meets on the 8th day at Holland Village. Barely 3 hours into meeting, boy kisses girl. "Would you be my girlfriend?" he asked. Girl said yes. It was puppy love back then. That was 10 years ago.

10 years later, boy and girl are now married with 2 beautiful kids.

**********************************************************************************

That everyone, was my love story. Short and sweet.

It started like any other fling which we both were looking for. Nothing too serious, nothing too complicated. But unknown to us, fate had other plans in stored.

We've come a long way, no doubt about that. We've been through loads and loads ups and downs. Experienced so many happiness and heartaches to come to today. It hasn't been easy, honestly. We've stuck by each other through the most turbulent years of 2 growing and maturing adults.

10 years is indeed an achievement. But to us, it's just a chapter of our lives. The story would go on for now and hopefuly, I would be able to blog about the second chapter 10 years later from now.

Happy 10 years "been together" anniversary darling. I love you.

Fireworks Exhibition

Went for the fireworks exhibition on Tuesday. Just look at how beautiful it was!!





It was really really crowded. Planning to go again tomorrow but another spot lah!!!



Suddenly Singapore looked so peaceful and quiet. Nice, really nice.

A Father's Influence

Read this article from the Today paper and made me ponder for awhile:

How important is a father's role in the overall health and well-being of a son or daughter? Some years ago, a greeting card company decided to do something special for Mother's Day. They set up a table in a federal prison, inviting any inmate who so desired to send a free card to his mom.

The lines were so long that they had to make another trip to the factory for more cards. Due to the success of the event, they decided to do the same thing on Father's Day. Only this time no one came. Not one prisoner felt the need to send a card to Dad......and many had no idea even who their fathers even were. What a sobering illustration about the importance of a father's relationship with his children.

Fathers, never underestimate the incredible influence you have on your children, both your sons and your daughters.

************************************************************************

I can totally relate to this. Totally.

You know, I have never really had a "relationship" with my dad ever since I knew he was my father. Except of course the biological part of it. But that's about where our relationship ends. We never talked about anything else that doesn't revolve around my allowance, buying of textbooks and money related stuff.

I don't recall going out with him alone at all. We've been on holidays as a family a couple of times but all my memories revolved round me, my mum and my sis. Never him.

He was physically around for the family but never emotionally. His heart has been somewhere else for the past 10 years and wold continue to be. I never felt that he has left a void in my life. Because he was never there to fill it in the very first place.

Which is why I always tell my hubby to play an active role in our children's life. To let them have fond memories of him when they grow up. To talk and communicate with them and not just about school but everyday non-important stuff. To shower them with lots of hugs and kisses and just be there for them.

I don't feel sad that I didn't have a father figure to look up to when I was young. Don't feel that I am missing out something/someone important in my life. Maybe that's the saddest thing about it. I just feel..... numb. Indifferent. I have not tried to put in any effort to make our relationship better because I don't see a need to nor feel that it's worth it.

How is your relationship with your dad?? Better than mine I hope!!

I Feel So Sick

I feel sick when I am hungry.
I feel sick when I smell food.
I feel sick when I am eating.
I feel sick when I am full.


I just feel sick all the time.
