Last week was a hectic week. and do you want to know why? Cos its my birthday!!!
In the first place, i wasnt to excited abt it, cos it just reminds me that i'm NOT in my mid-20s anymore! Boo hoo... in fact just 3 yrs away from the big 3-0. Gosh! time flies so fast man...
Anyway, celebration was great! Thanks to those of u who painstakingly plan small mini-celebrations for me despite of ur hectic schedule. Thanks for those who send me wonderful messages (sms, mms, msn, etc) really appreciate it. And oh yes, janet, i've received your card. Thanks a lot! Love ya all...
Well, my hubby has planned a 3 day bday bash for me.. (he's so sweet rite?). Sat, i went for manicure/pedicure. lurve getting pampered and spoiled man... [than dinner at the zoo- company dinner lah.. it was actually a nice place, no mosquitoes so im very happy. plus i got to dressed up as a modern 'pocohontas' with brown dress and hair tied up in ponytail with 3 bird feathers as decorations... hehe. ] Sat nite, we stayed up late, watching dvds, till we slept on the couch... woke up like at abt 11am the next morning!
Then Hubby drove to Hyatt Hotel, where we had a sumptious buffet lunch at Straits Kitchen. Fantastic Food! Yum Yum! Then we walked in town, browsing through knick knacks while having such a wonderful time, blending with the crowd of mostly teenagers! made me feel so young, u know. Then we watched a move- Lucky Number Slevin. Quite a good show, though we didnt read any reviews abt it at first. we picked the movie cos it was RA (21) and we thot "oh good, no kids!" We enjoyed the movie thoroughly and i must say, josh harnett is still as cute and ever.. drool... then went to have teh tarik at our fave stall at bugis then home.
then later at abt midnight, hubby came into the room (u see i was relaxing in my airconditioned bedroom with a super comfy comforter over me, while watching another dvd- 'tristan and isolde'. and in his hand was a tub of ben and jerry's ice cream!!! Awww... what a way to celebrate my 27th hatch day with my fav ice cream served in bed!!! and u know what? on the actual day, hubby and another gd fren of ours, najib, treated me to another sinful round of chocolates galore at Max Brenner's chocolate at esplanade. splendid! i think i must have gained a few kilos this week... hehe... well, its only once a year right?

you know how both of us gets bored easily... well, a few weeks ago, we decided to divert from going to in-laws place.. (tsk tsk tsk.. so naughty!). since i was driving, i decided to turn into Lim Chu Kang area. (for ur info, i've never been here before! and this was really a last min thing!). i was like following my instincts.. (didnt know i have one.. hehhe..) and we came to this place. like kampung like dat. like as if we were not in singapore, some rural and ulu place.. anyway, we were there for like a few min onli, cos it was going to be dark really soon and i dont like to be in an unfamiliar and ulu place at night! scaredii cat!
i think i am going crazy. i talked to myself too much, especially so when i am under stressed. is that normal?
Like there's this colleague whom i do not really get along well with. She was babbling away and me as usual, try not to listen to her and talking to myself.
Suddenly, i thot i heard her saying 'are you listening to me?" and staring at me! and all the while, she was still babbling to me and frens. i mean its like i can feel her talking to my inner self! gosh! i am freaking out. am i normal? i am really freaking out. help!

One day, i walked into this shop, trying to find a nice top. Found one i like, a chic bohemian inspired top... tried on the usual size 'M" but found out that it was too small around the chest area. I was flabbergasted when told that the largest size that this shop carries is size 'M"!
Oh my gawd! size "M"!!! What kind of shop is this?
Oh... i know! Its a shop for the slim and boobs deprived! (Brutally frank here!)
Ha! Ha! Ha! I've never heard of such shops before. I'm not saying that the shop is THAT bad, the clothes are nice and trendy, but its a worrying trend that maybe some ppl will starve themselves just to fit into the dresses and tops, and not to mention the pencil thin pants.
Anyway, good luck to the shop man. With the trend now towards being thin and anorexic, i'm sure it will be popular!
As for me, I've got nothing to lose. Found another top elsewhere. Hmmm... maybe 7 yrs ago, i could fit into those tops and dresses, but now... nah...

How do you hold on to someone you've never met?
Song of the day
Baby since the day you came into my life
You made me realize that we were born to fly
You showed me everyday new possibilities
You proved my fantasies of love could really be
You made me realize that we were born to fly
You showed me everyday new possibilities
You proved my fantasies of love could really be
Let's go to a place only lovers go
To a spot that we've never known
To the top of the clouds we're floating away yeah
Ooh this feels so crazy
Oh this love is blazing
Baby we're so high
Walking on cloud 9
(You've got me up so high) So high
(My shoes are scraping the sky) So high
(You've got me up so high) Oh
(My shoes are scraping the sky)
Maybe later we can go up to the moon
Or sail among the stars before the night is through
And when morning comes we'll see the sun is not so far
And we can't get much closer to God than where we are
This is how love's supposed to be
This is how, this is how love's supposed to be, yeah
Let's go to the moon baby, ooh
Let's go to the moon baby, yeah
Let's go, go, let's go to the moon baby
So high...
So High - John Legends

VIGA vs Ain
conversation between VIGA (very irritating grand aunt) and A (myself), a few weeks ago...
VIGA: How long have u been married?
A: 4 years this Dec
VIGA: no children?
A: nope, not yet.
VIGA: why? look at Man (her son)... married for 2 years, already got 2 children
A: (staring blankly at VIGA) Oh, is that so? I wanna see the world first, travelling.. We went to London, Paris, Switzerland, Australia and Thailand as vacation the past 4 years you know.... (with sarcatic undertone and gave her this 'Have Man and wife been to these places?' look while cussing inside... )
i know I can't help myself but sound really bitchy while talking to her.. irritating! What's up with these people? Can ask me why I have no kids! I mean, of course I want lah... Of course there must be a reason why up till now I still haven't conceive yet... Must i tell the whole wide world my problems? Can't they just shut their damn big mouth? Then can compare me with other people some more?!!! Why? Why? Why? Mind your business... and quit telling me how to live myself... i'm sick of you and those pple out there who just don't understand what I'm going through...Instead of encouragement, this is what I get? only those closest to me know how i actually feel inside...well, after this, VIGA stayed away from me and I dun care at all. I don't see why i need to apologize too.
The lesson behind all this is : Don't compare ppl's life. You don't know what's goes on behind the facade.

Information
Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.Take the quiz
what a week it's been! so busy and eventful.
I finally managed to convince hubby to watch 'the lakehouse' with me. And you should see his disgusted face!!! So farny... whenever sandra bullock and keanu reeves said those corny romantic lines... Frankly, i really wanna watched the movie cos of keanu. he's like my first "on-screen boyfriend". after watching his movies 'pointbreak' and 'speed', i find him totally gorgeous! (minus the fact that he can't act lah) after 14 yrs, he still looks good man! oooooh.. and i guessed the ladies in the same theatre as me would totally agree to what I'm writing now. almost 3/4 of the audience were ladies... all swooned by Kee-ah-nuu.
also, this week i bought a new bag and a pair of shoes! Its a black polka dots pair and a yellow bag. so happiii. and hubby was half asleep when i got back to show those things i bought. He simply nodded and went back to sleep... heh :) will post the pics of my new buys later when i can find my cam.

Finally, found the skin i like... Phew! Now some of you might be wondering why i decided to change to another blog. Well, hmmm... i feel that i need the change, maybe with this, i will blog more often ( i hope so, cos the last one was so pathetic!)
Also, i'm into another chapter in my life- a lot of things are going on now in my life and i feel that i need another channel to just let off steam, my angst, views about everything in this world, many views i think are just my own selfish thoughts. So i need to scribble them somewhere and what better way than to blog! Then at least in a way its a channel for you guys to know what's been happening with me.
I am more a writer than a speaker. I am more frank, sometimes outright honest and direct when i pen down my thoughts. You see, i tend to be more diplomatic when i speak to someone face to face.. i think must be due to my nature of work. So i hope this blog will do it for me.
