Christmas And A Wedding To Cater For

Heading to Perth with Grandpa, Mom and Dad to celebrate Christmas with the sister and new brother-in-law. Then it's also a wedding reception after for the people in Perth who missed the actual one. Lots to cater for. I live for such things… Can't Wait!

It's A Boy!

Congratulations Mandy & Puran!

Adding A New Member To The Family

Going off to Koh Samui for a secret plan but I think most can guess from the title. Hopefully I don't have too much fun that I forget to come back to reality. TTFN Singapore!

Something In The Stars

Was thinking about certain people born this time of the year and it turns out I seem to know quite a few people born under the sign of Cancer.

As I've always been reading up on zodiac signs, I always wondered if it's true about Cancer and Libra being an incompatible pair.

Maybe it could be right if it was referring to relationships with the opposite gender. I realised that I was actually quite alright with the female friends who are born under this sign. In fact, I have 2 who even have a similar mindset.

However, when it comes to the males, it's a totally different story and they all seem to have that common knack of pissing me off.

Just like when I first met Brendan... I didn't like him because he was really childish and disrespectful. But then he grew on me.

Then there is Yau Ching, who was too proud to even smile back the very first time I met him. Oh the amount of times he has pissed me off!!! Then just like Brendan, he's growing on me.

Well, there's one more person who also pissed me off real bad once in a while way back then but I realized why that one did not grow on me - too much bullshit. Well the other 2 did have their box of crap as well, but then with this one it just overflowed. It is a bit too much when even your best friend can't trust you anymore.

Guess there's something about these male crabs?

Time To Clear Out

Decided to clear all the drafts from the challenge I didn't do and call it a failure. Was fun while it lasted but poetry is still not something I like nor can wrap my head around.

Can't You Just Reciprocate The Favour?

You sit across from me and rant about everything that has been bugging you the other day, asking me if your point of view is valid. Pulled me aside during work to rant about your staff because what he did pissed you off.

Now I sit in your outlet, pissed off about your staff's attitude and all you do is try to defend their stupidity. Can't you just shut up and listen for once? Just once, just really listen and not say a damn thing because that is all I need.

Do you think I don't know that everyone isn't the same and definitely isn't of the same calibre? My standards might be high, but I lower them down accordingly. And if your staff do not have any bloody initiative, it has nothing to do with how high my standard is anymore. It ends up being a lack of teamwork, with staff being unproductive. But you don't seem to get the point and still want to retort as if they are the best team in the world. Fine, since you think they're that good, then why still keep asking for help? Why - because they're not productive!

Something Noticed

Went to a doggie clothes blog/online store and was happily looking through the stuff. Then I happen to flip it down enough to view the people who "liked" the site on Facebook and realise that the profile pictures of the ones that liked it all seem to look the same. Not only that, they liked to do the same dumb "blow up ur cheeks and eyes to look cute" look - and it was not only girls. OMG EWW!

The Voices May Not Be Real, But They Have Some Pretty Good Ideas

And one of these ideas is to try out some molecular gastronomy experiments. But first, I need a little kit. So if anyone finds a kit they think is good, do point it out, especially if I can buy it in Singapore! I've got to go get me a lab coat, some goggles and some rubber gloves! So excited even with no kit to play with yet.

I'd Wear It

Quote you'd want on a t-shirt

Not to repeat the same quote I'd put on my bedroom wall, I decided that it's between the following 2 quotes:

"Some people hear voices, some see invisible people, others have no imagination whatsoever!"

"The voices may not be real, but they have some pretty good ideas!"

I'm already wearing some similar ones anyway.

On Vacation

Let Your Hair Down...

Quote of your favourite lyric

"Girl, put your records on, tell me your favourite song

You go ahead, let your hair down

Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams,

Just go ahead, let your hair down.

You're gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow."

 - Put Your Records On, Corinne Bailey Rae

I Have Nothing

What wouldn't you change about your life? Why?

Nothing really. I've learnt to learn from everything, even though some lessons took longer or were more costly than others, the lessons mould me to what I am today. So since I'm fine with what and who I am today, I won't change a thing.

If you expected a longer post, I'm afraid that's all I have on this topic. No regrets.

Pretty Woman's Guide To Customer Service

Quote from a movie

Shop assistant: Hello, can I help you?
Vivian: I was in here yesterday, you wouldn't wait on me.
Shop assistant: Oh.
Vivian: You people work on commission, right?
Shop assistant: Yeah.
Vivian: Big mistake. Big. Huge. I have to go shopping now.

Remembering "7th Heaven"

Quote from a TV show

Up Close & Personal

My Precious!

What is your most treasured possession & why?

Currently it's my Canon camera. Probably because it's the biggest investment out of my savings. It's been a great investment so far. With the addition of the lomo lens adaptor, photography just became much more fun.

Why Am I Writing This?

Write a bad poem, make it as lousy as you can, do everything wrong, let yourself be awful.

Looking For New Eyes

Uncle Dennis suggested going to Johor to get a new pair of glasses quickly and cheaply, so since I was off (or planned to be), Mom and I are heading replace my scratched up pair.
