Here Or Never Here

You know how sometimes some people may be around you all the time but you never really felt their presence?

It's like, being physically with someone but yet not feel connected with that someone. Maybe it's really quality and not quantity that matters. If you spend 15 minutes to really talk and get to know the person, it sure beats being in the same room for 2-3 hours doing your own stuff.

It's amazing how you can be so close to someone but yet feel so distance from them. There are so many people whom we'll get to know in this lifetime but how many actually make a positive impact to our lives? It's just so difficult to find a soulmate. With so many people around me all the time, why am I still feeling so............. alone? Why am I always having to put up a bubbly front?

I am just so tired of the way things are going. So tired of always being the one who makes things happen. Tired of being the only one making a contribution. So tired of always giving and never a chance to take anything. Life is so meaningless. I just want to run away from it all sometimes and never to look back again. Ever.

There are different kinds people, situations and comments that we face everyday. Some makes you feel good about yourself and makes you want to look forward to another beautiful day. Some just makes you feel miserable about your existance in this world and makes you to just want to hide under the blanket and never face anyone else so that you won't have to feel that miserable again. Me? Unfortunately, I just feel nothing but misery.

I am not just tired, I am really exhausted.

Thinking Out Of The Box

An old man lived alone in Idaho. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament.

"Dear Son, I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me. Love Dad"

A few days later he received a letter from his son.

"Dear Dad,For heaven's sake, Dad, don't dig up that garden, that's where I buried the BODIES. Love Son"

At 4am the next morning, F.B.I. Agents and local police showed up and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.

"Dear Dad, Go ahead and plant the potatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances. Love Son"

CSI - Finale My Foot!!

Yesterday was the season finale for CSI Las Vegas. So angry!! They found the killer but Sarah is still not found. Show ended with "To be continued........".

Arrghhhh!!!!

Oh No

Mama's in hospital, am so worried. Praying that she'll be fine.

Going Nuts Over Doughnuts

The doughnut factory queue at Suntec City wasn't as long as the one at Raffles City!! Was there on Sunday and I just HAD to try it once.

And we bought a dozen of those yummy looking doughnuts. It was pretty good though I will NOT queue for more than 15 minutes for them!!

Doughnuts with coffee for him and Meiji milk for me at 11pm on Sunday in front of the telly watching Miami Ink. Ahh... this is our regular bonding time except the menu varies. No wonder the weight just never seems to go off!!

Lookalike

I just cannot help but notice the resemblance between the two of them. But then again, they ARE siblings so it shouldn't be that unusual after all.

Same factory, looks alike but totally different characters and temperaments. Ahh... my kids.

Confirmation Appraisal

Just got my confirmation appraisal form from my HR department on Thursday and I'm supposed to fill in my achievements over the past 5 months and my boss is supposed to rate me.

For awhile, I am thrown back to the same dilemna I had when I used to do my yearly performance appraisal. How to boast about the things you have been doing? I mean, you're employed for a reason and if you've done your job well by not screwing things up big time, is that considered good performance? I wish there were specific yardsticks when it comes to measuring performance........ Of course there's the sales figures to quantify certain areas, but that's somehow just not enough.

Well anyway, there has been some hiccups over the past few months but I still think I did pretty ok. The rest is just beyond me liao.

Sentosa @ 8th July 2007

Went to Sentosa with friends last Sunday. Sprayed sunblock on both the kids but I didn't use it on myself. Seriously burnt now on my shoulders and 2 colours on my skin too. Darn. Anyway, all our noses have just started to peel and they both look soooo cute lor!!!

They had fun, so did I. But cannot go too often, their skin cannot take it.

Wendy ah.... you didn't send me the picture we took which has the MTV effect!!! Email me ah....

Driver In The Making

The little rascal climbed from the back seat to the driver's seat when I wasn't paying attention while we were waiting for Wendy in the car. Think he's been aiming for that seat for a very long time liao.

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

Being married isn't all about getting a HDB flat, having 2 kids and living together for the rest of your lives. It is so much more than just that.

Are you able to love the other party more than you love yourself? Are you ready for marriage?

Marriage isn't all a bed of roses, roses comes with thorns too. We thought we were ready when we took the plunge years ago. We were not. We learnt the hard way with laughter and tears along the way.

Till today, we're still learning the art together. But I would walk this path again with you without any doubts if I had to choose once again. Would you?

Transformers

The show was awesome!!! I loved it!!!

Remembered watching the cartoon when I was a little kid besides the usual smurfs and carebears. So now, if you watch the same cartoons as I did, we're probably no more than 3 years apart.

Next change, Harry Potter!!! Opening officially next Thursday and I can't wait........ Anyone wanna watch midnight? Must pre-book tickets ah.......

Thank You

Last week was a roller coaster ride for me. It was terrible.

Anyway, things have calmed for now. Lesson learnt.

Thank you for lending me a helping hand when I needed it. It meant alot to me.
