I'm ashamed of myself because i'm in love with a 40 year old woman.
I KNOW.
So pardon the non-entries lately because my computer died on me the past few days again. I know fellow readers (if there are any), you are left with a redundant entry of me trying to make choices previously which is seriously, worthless. Pretty much like the piece of tissue in my bin.
So what had happened during my ultra long "hiatus" this time?
Besides the pile of work that keeps piling higher than everest, i've been spring cleaning, iphone surfing (yes the gprs will burn a huge whole in my pocket), being broke and as dry a bone and trying to pick myself up where i've left from since like, forever? Other than that, the clock continues to tick, and the sky is still blue.
Yeap. That's life for me. Nothing interesting, no rainbows or a bunny out of a hat. I'm going to celebrate my daily routine later on with maybe butter and waffles. Ooh, as a matter of fact, that sounds pretty good NOW. Well, I don't really want to make a ruckus in the kitchen at this hour, or my mum would think a raccoon invaded the household. I've got work to do, but i'm a little lazy to continue and with the constant shutting of my eyelids; it sure does put being lazy to another level.
My two cats dominated my bed. I can totally relate what they are feeling now, with utmost comfort and relaxation. The aircon, the music, the thick duvet, a soft hit for every sleepy head. While, i watch them in envy on my black chair, i guess i'll occupy myself with an entry. Plus, an entry a day always puts me to bed right after. Hurhur. So i swear the comfort my cats are pursuing right now will definitely be short lived. Hohoho.
Mission - executed.
By the way, thanks to mummaye; i've welcome my first iMac in the abode. But damn it, i'm paying her back as soon the pay rolls in. Sigghhh. The perks of being the only child right now is getting to overrated, so too bad for me. Bye!
Hello new found friend.
"...beautiful finds..."
I'm confused.
I'm scared.
I don't know which to choose.
I've got no mood to blog.

I can never get sick of Friends because personally, i think it is one of the best sitcom that the people of America invented. I've watched the episodes more than a million times but i never grew any boredom out of it. In comparison with other sitcoms, Friends tops them all. For 10 long years the show aired, all fans grew to learn and love the show emotionally and physically. Well, physically because i remembered clearly when Jennifer Anniston had her superb hair cut back in 1995, it was labelled as "The Rachel"; globally. How about that for a superficial fashion phenomenon haha.
The cast connected so well throughout the years that when it comes to the finale, it was hard for them to hide their emotions. Well, for myself as well. The finale was bittersweet but it is as real as it gets. Where the cliche phrase, all ends sparks a new beginning; the show gave that notion a whiff of fresh air. The show ended with a sense of warmth and love on how friends can actually nurture your life. For that 10 years, it shows friendship could withstand anything, furthermore it develops a sense of belonging deeper than any ocean. They've graced the cover of magazines, won Emmy's and somehow or rather they became our daily television staple during their reign. Not forgetting their theme song that runs vividly in our mind, I'll Be There For You by the Rembrandts. The content and plots were strong, not forgetting their main genre was to humour the society. It was intensely intrigued with matters of the heart, family and in general, life.
I guess, no sitcoms could replace Friends because when it ended, it's the end for all sitcoms. The best there ever was and the best there ever be.
Yes yes, i'm a proud owner of an iPhone now. Screw the complexity(is there such word?!), i'm head over heels with the gadget. I'm not tech whiz, so i'm going to take some time to get use to the new system. The interface is totally different from any phones that i've handled. And trust me, i've handled a million and one phones alright. I'm so engrossed with this device that i skipped all meals today! How's that for a diet? haha
"...i'll be there for you..."
A Brand New Day?
I always tell myself that every single day is a brand new day, where i should embrace it with positivity and love. Somehow or rather, yes i can accept that notion but like any others; how long does it last? You can wake up being all carefree and face the world with the melodies of joy and happiness, but before the morning ends; reality screams right in your face once again. Like a bullet through your brain. It was just a moment and i've got people telling me, how do i always stay happy, wait do i?
Somedays i would drag myself out of bed, knowing that the day would end up worthless and non-productive. When somedays, the thoughts of these negativity proved me wrong because a surprise turn of events in the day would end all evil that pandora released; for only that day that is. We're in a life cycle so boring but somehow we're still living through it. We poor, simple humans, caught up in our mundane pursuit of happiness, too often forget what really keeps us going when we aren't having that very moment. We speak of the love of our pets, our children, of random special persons we meet in everyday life, but then the moment is gone and we're back to fighting traffic, paying the bills, worrying about the stability of our jobs.
God is fair.
Our lives are balanced out with equal proportions of the good and the bad. Imagine, when everything in our lives are filled with contentment, joy, mirth and laughter. The thought of it sounds amazing, but face it; we look like a bunch of robotic mechanisms exclusively on crack. Where are the emotions?, how is it possible when one could do nothing else but be entirely positive about everything in this world. A world without emotions is a world without life.
Everyone goes through pain, either we deal it ourselves or we have friends or families to share with. We all have our demons to battle, but that doesn't mean you tell people your feelings, you want them to go through the hurt together with you. It isn't a buddy sytem ya'll. Advice, they're giving you some wisdom, a shoulder to lean on. Remember, the best is always good enough one could give. We're not oracle's that predicts the future and solves problems, we're just giving the thoughts from another perspective and a little gesture of care and concern.
It sucks isn't it when reality snaps back.
How i wish i could have a discerning eye for all things good. Well, definitely what's best in the beginning of each day is definitely a smile. A benevolent smile creates wonders, it's a note of appreciation that one always feels thankful for. For instance: You woke up facing the wrong side of the bed, you knew that the day ahead doesn't look promising as a cloudy impression vaguely forms in your mind. You're cranky, and your cat spills the cup of coffee you made all over your crisp white shirt. Time noted; only 30 minutes since your eyes gave light and within this half an hour, nothing good seemed to roll by. You left home, heading for work and realise you left your briefcase.. well..you get my drift now. You unwilling reach out for your office door, and there's your assistant comfortably sitting at her desk, and gives you the warmest smile she has which immediately brightens up the room, well not because of her notably white teeth but a benign smile. It doesn't cure but it definitely warms your heart and puts everything at ease. A smile a day puts you a long way.
Together with a nice cup of coffee.

Another random note: Grammy winning group, Coldplay is coming to town. HELL YEAH! I can't wait for that!
"....and i laughed...."
Birthday, Food and Work
Good Morning! I'm up rather early today considering i had one of those deep slumber that could seriously knock off all car crashing, bomb blasting, bike screeching fiascoes that could generally happen daily yesterday. Oh boy! it was a whole lot of sleeping being done, and a word or two from a light sleeper; it was the most orgasmic slumber one could have. =)
Random news; i can't wait to watch the movie below because you know why? Jennifer Anniston is in it. Yeah baby. Ok enough said.
****************
I think i need to take things slow lately. I've been so busy lately that i see bees flying past my window going for their primetime holidays. Then again, nothing in this world comes for free. Gotta put up a little hardship to earn the greens yeah. Two days ago, i received a job employment offer. It offers a higher pay, better working conditions (not that my current company is bad, is just that working there puts the capital "B" in Bored) and lastly, they offered me a graphic post. Something that i'm pretty keen on doing.
With the current recession, the paycuts and everything else, i can consider myself lucky to be offered a post actually. I've never complained about my job because, with the whole economic downturn; it's hard enough to get a job and here comes Mr. Opportunity knocking on my rusty door. I feel blessed but i feel selfish as well if i were to take up this offer. There are people getting retrenched,
Should i seize this pot of gold or regret the entire of my life? Hmm.
Besides pondering on such "world tragic issues", a bunch of us celebrated Liyana's Birthday last Saturday. A bunch of us = Rongsen, Jason, Wei Lin, Serene and Wei Min - teleported all the way from the big ol' LONDON. Heh. Amazing isn't it? Had dinner at MadJack's and headed off to Timbre. BY THE WAY, don't you find it how disheartening when once a quiet little eatery which used to serve pretty good food becomes famous and suddenly their quality plunges down the drain? Well, that's Madjack for you ladies and gentlemen. I used to adore Madjack, their food were decent, well yummy enough to my screwed up tastebuds but now, their quantity and quality influctuates way down the scale man. I had their lamb chops last Saturday and it was pretty bad. Well, everything else EXCEPT the mushrooms were unmentionable. It was such an unfortunate mistake to have dinner there.
To make things up!, we headed down for some drinks at Timbre @ the Arts House. It was my first trip to Timbre without making a reservation and boy we were damn lucky to actually have a table of 6 available. The band, E.I.C was really good and not forgetting their succulent thin crust pizzas. They were out of this world! Ordered the simple margherita with extra cheese, and boy.. the decent price came with a bombastic flavour. Their pizzas ranges from 14 - 19 bucks i guess, but it's a pretty huge serving though. The strings of mozarellas fused together with their fresh tomato base are just mouth watering. They burst into a million flavours in your mouth, with your tastebuds savouring each and every bite. Ok, sounds exaggerated, but seriously Timbre pizzas ish good! I've yet to try Pete's Place man. Not to worry, very soon yeah.
Anyway, all of us shared Liyana's Chloe's necklace and a gift of that calibre; no wonder she's elated. HAHA. I'm gonna promptly and rudely end this entry because i'm beginning to salivate like a golden retriever after typing about the pizzas. I'm gonna cook myself some breakfast now, well at least something delectable enough.
Cheerios amigoes.
"...cheese..."
Morning Discovery
The sad thing about gaining a million and one freelance projects at a shot is that, the whole load of cash comes in later, leaving me rather hard on the pockets now. Anyway, i was thinking of re-painting my room once a year. I've had my room in a tone of green now, and i'm thinking off having it painted in a nice shade of turqoise. Well my wall paper will stay, because i love the intricacy and the darkness of it. I've been surfing the web and i came across some quaint but beautiful interiors that i would just dream off. Well, my home; pretty lovely as it is, but you know there's always a dream home for everyone of us and here are my selection.
I hate manly butch kinda looking homes where everything are contemporary hard on the edges and sore to the eyes. Where they say less is more, i totally disagree with that notion. I like a mix of vintage, modern, querky and all things pretty. I'm thinking of buying a chandelier for my dining area because it looks rather bare right now. Hmm. Anyway here are some visuals i got off the net.
Aren't all these prettyyyyy? I'm so glad i'm in the design line and appreciate such things. Woooooo boy! I feel like revamping my room this instant!
Oh crap, i got truckloads of work to do.
Bummer.
"...wooo...."
The Maury Show
I've been bombarded with a million of work lately, but the greens have yet to come by. Sigh. Anyway, besides the outrageous amount of work and lack of sleep that i'm putting myself into; i managed to surf around the internet made some amazing self discovery. Well, not entirely a discovery that could change the world but the miraculous discovery of american trash tv. Heh.
American trash tv programmes are just so addictive, well to me that is. In particular this show that i've been glueing my eyes on. It's called the Maury Povich Show or something, it's so trashy that the black genes(if i ever have)in me are going as divaistically thanking god for such crappiness. ANYWAY, the show is simply like another Jerry Springer only touching on those taboo-ed cases of the world/society/well american life haha. Well uncalled for dramamama cases they are. There was an episode, where the host Maury; brought in a couple for an interview. Well, the couple beautifully married for god knows how long and has a beautiful child together. After years of marriage, stories and rumours from their family members had it that; this couple are actually brothers and sisters. Yes, siblings.
*GASPS
So, they went on the show wanting to find the truth. I made the show sound like a god gifted programme la. Anyway, they went on the show, with a few rounds of interview yada yada yada, a DNA test was offered to them. Of course, they took the test most unwillingly. I mean, they've been together for so long, deeply in love but obviously putting theirselves in this pot of boiling water. So the moment of truth. What was the results of their DNA test???
POSITIVE!!!!
They are actually long lost siblings. The audience were gasping in shock, the couple broke down for obvious reasons. Incest? Uh huh. They even bore a child together. How weird is that for the kid? Genetically proven they are related, so the kid is technically their younger sibling? Seriously, things doesn't get complicated than this.
In the child's shoes:
"Erm, my dad is my brother and so is my mom. My grandparents are actually my parents. And the world is all a better place to live in now."
Sheesh. So the couple broke down into gallons of tears, thinking what are their destiny now. To continue the incest relationship? or to accept each other as siblings? So they share an electral love, with an offspring i might add. I told you the show is trashy, but i love it. HAHA. There are even more scurrilous episodes. Ok that's it for an entry tonight.
"...goodbye hello..."
PHOTOS!
Some way overdue photos and as promised my Batam trip. Haha much love and crazy ass fun. If only i could turn back the time, yada yada yada. Like seriously, it was crazy fun with these people.
"...somebody else..."
