Rule #1
 Annabel stands tall at 23 with too many desiresand too little money to please the shopaholic spirit in her. Laughter heals her broken soul but someone forgot to mention that it creates lines around her eyes, making it even smaller as the days roll by. Oscar Wilde taught her that she can resist everything, except temptation. I believe.
吃的比鸟少，起的比鸡早，睡的比牛晚。Eat like a bird, arise before the rooster, rest after the cows sleep. Disconnect to connect.

Thursday, January 26, 2012 I spent the Chinese New Year holidays at home. In the same position for almost every day of the 4 days break. I didn't had much of an urge to go out to soak up the sun or hung out at people's places simply because I was totally absorbed in this TVB drama. Of course this is not the first time that I've spent hours watching and changing DVDs but this show - "When Heaven Burns" is different. It's possibly the best drama that TVB has produced in recent years. It's not your typical love story. You wouldn't want to marry either of the characters. It's the storyline that grips you and gets you thinking about life and being a human and a part of this modern society. It's a pity that it got banned in China and not everyone adores the show. But those who understand the heart of the drama, will adore it. Can you blame someone for committing a mistake when circumstances are dire? Can you forgive someone for lying to you for the sake of making life easier and then telling you the truth years later? What is truth? Does the truth really do us good or bring us more harm? Why do we always hanker after the so-called truth? If not knowing the whole truth can make things better, why do we persist and hurt ourselves in the end? It's the CNY season why everything should be loud and cheery. I just had to pick this dark drama and watch it throughout CNY. 30 episodes, cleared within 2 days. I'm amazed I'm not blind yet. onwards to 2012
Sunday, January 08, 2012 It’s an insane world but in it there is one sanity, the loyalty of old friends.”  I liked the idea of spending festive seasons with my old friends. They are considered my old friends not because of their age, but simply because we have known each other since our young and carefree days. And most importantly, I don't have to repeat my life story to them. They probably already know every details of it. So I hope that at the start of the new year, you managed to start on a clean slate. I always believe that one should always begin a new year with a new set of...everything. I guess this is also why we love to buy new bags/shoes/clothes whenever we started on a new school term. So anyways, I've prepared like a month's worth of new clothing for my new year in 2012. You can't fault me! Most of my clothes were too casual for work! -defensive- 《原来你什么都不想要》 The song that propelled A-mei to stardom. Can't believe this song was released 16 years ago in 1996. we are seriously THAT old. -facepalm- Working in a PR agency is very different from all my other work places. To them, time really is money. And even though it's just my first week of work, I'm already swarmed. I'm extremely thankful that I've good working colleagues who were willing to teach and explain things to me. Although a part of me still crave for the excitement for running events, I think I should get the basics of public relations first. I'm destined to be a slave. -groans- I went for Amei's concert on Friday night with Weidong and it was like a gathering of friends. My Murdoch lecturer Piya was there, TOPH people like Eileen, Donald and Sarah were there, 933 people like Cruz, Neal and Angelia were also there. And I was really really glad to see them and of course to hear Amei belt out her tunes. In my honest opinion, I didnt think that the concert was fantastic. Amei was flawless in her delivery but there seems to be this something that was missing. The best part of the concert was her 40minutes non-stop medley of classic songs. The crowd sang along to every song, word for word. It was really, a pretty touching moment. Many people probably teared during that segment. I did too, but I quickly wipe them away like a ninja lest Dong sees and then strangles me for being such a crybaby. Or maybe, he was tearing too! Haha. 2012 have been pretty great as of now. I hope it will get better for you and for me. -cross fingers- 魅力克力斯马斯
Tuesday, December 27, 2011  Maybe I'll do a reflective post when 31 Dec draws nearer, we're still 3 days away! I've graduated, unofficially. Not that I'm worried that I might risk taking my words back about graduation but I am pretty sure that I've cleared all my modules. The wait now is for the transcript and my mortar board that cost me $19K. I forgot when did it started but I began to truly celebrate life and the festive seasons the way I want it to be celebrated. And the best way to do it, is NOT to get drunk and wasted but growing fat and laughing till wrinkles appear with the people that I deem as important in my life. And Christmas is the time where one reflects on how good he or she has been and wonders if Santa would come bearing gifts. I guess this is why you said sorry to me. Your sorry, came a little late. 2 years late in fact. I am glad you realised how far you have drifted and the many things that you have lost in the process. Your reflective actions are something I give thanks for, because hallejuah, you finally woke up from your ego. I hope. A long while ago, I would have given an arm and a leg for you to speak to me and it was my desire to have your apology as I believed it would give me closure. But slowly, I began to understand that I don't need anyone's sorry to direct my life. Because, the hurt has been done. A sorry is just a plaster that covers the open wound and allows it to heal. When the healing is done, the scar remains, as a stark reminder of the closure. I don't hate you and honestly, I don't want to go back to the past where you were (huge) part of it. I'm glad you appreciated the friendships forged back then but I'm sorry, I think my future will have nothing to do with you. I thank you for the lessons you have taught me because without it, I wouldnt have what I have today. I hope you are truly sorry and reflective and not because of other agendas. I wish you well. I wish you all the best. I'll remain cordial and not unfriend you on Facebook. I'll reply your texts and might answer your calls. We'll stay friends, just don't try to use affectionate nice terms on me because those words from you sound exceptionally vile.  Merry Christmas :) about MSN
Tuesday, November 29, 2011  I don't know who actually still uses MSN to communicate nowadays. Everyone uses Facebook Chat! So anyways, out of the blue, S came to chat with me on MSN. I asked him if RSAF is going to permanently stationed him in far-flung Texas, away from his sataynasigorengprata and what not... S: i will be back in sg in feb tho going back to rom Me: going back to rom? rom = registry of marriage? S: yuppp Me: WAH! Gongxi gongxi! I am really happy for him. That he has found the right girl to spend the rest of his life with together. Being the same age as me but yet able to know that you want to spend the rest of your life together with this person, I think it's a huge blessing. God sure loves you more. hehe.  Spotlight Youth Exchange 2011- Amazing Race with the TAH peeps. Our awesomeness allowed us to come in 6th among all 100 groups! :) I'm always curious at how people came to this 'right decision'. Don't we all make mistakes? Don't we get hurt and scarred badly? Like the problem sums that we dealt with during our educational years. A wrong answer can be corrected with correction fluid and a new answer written over it, however the mark of the mistake will still be there. You may be able to find a new partner, but the mark of the old pains will always be there. Nothing can overwrite it, right? Friend asked how I felt when I knew about S' impending marriage. "Am I supposed to feel anything except happiness?" Friend said, "I thought you would feel...weird." Ah..and then I remembered. It was a weird six months. He and I would text each other daily and hung out pretty often. I met his friends and family but we weren't together. Then one day, everything stopped. Everything stopped before anything could happened, which in a case was a good decision. Was it my issue about being daft for six months? Or maybe it was just a case of two people enjoying the company of each other till the right one comes along.  I am really happy for S. Happy that our friendship from Sentosa days rekindled with MSN. Happy that this pilot has found his perfect Singapore Girl. distracted
Friday, November 25, 2011 i am supposed to be studying for what is probably going to be my last exam in my university life but i absolutely cannot concentrate. i have classmates who were going on and on about how worried they are about the test and some of them even calculated how many marks they would need to score before they could hit the Distinction grade. Me? I just sit there and soak it all in. never liked to compare results and results are never the focus of my life. Granted, I do want to do well but I am not so hung up about it that I'll note down the grades I've gotten and fervently calculate my GPA. I don't do all these because I do not like the idea of being defined by results. Results are not everything. And by the way, just to set the record straight, I am not saying this because I have lousy results. Out of 10 modules, i have 5 Distinctions and 2 credits, the other 3 modules were taken this semester. So yes, I am really just your average student who can never finish her essay before the deadline nor start on her assignment early. It's a NP CHS thing, being last minute. And by the way, companies cant be bothered about your results. The interviews and offers that I've gotten, none of them bothered about my GPA. So why bother studying so hard, right? HAHA. |
