Hi! Gotta rush tis one...goin back for 1/2 day.

No big plans today...no more fireworks...not that Im complainin'...we should extend some respect. It would be so ironic, enjoyin ourselves on the fair beaches of Sentosa whilst the fairer beaches in Phuket were no more...in the words of my Kiasi fren: "Aiyah! Better dun go, if can happen in Thai, can sure happen in Sentosa, better stay at home, safer"...like death wont come knockin on his HDB flat when its time???!!!

Well, 2004 been an eventful yr, (I say tat every 31 Dec)...big plans happened, some didnt, its way of life...I gave up resolutions for New Year ages ago, I take things as it happens, although Im a "BIG PANIC QUEEN"...my Hubbs calls me....

Might be able to catch up again later wif my sis's new Com..got lotsa write abt tat....mayb....if not...Hav a Gd Yr ahead....

Later.......

I'm in pain....

...but its nothing compared to the pain that those pple in the tsunamis affected areas are goin through. Those seas of mangled bodies...life is so fragile, so short, so precious. I believe its His way of reminding us that our presence on earth is only temporary, that we will go back to Him when the time comes, ready or not.

It certainly shook me, not only because it happened so near to home. I am no preacher but I realised that here I am complaining abt the pple around me, when those people have only dead bodies to cry to. The very fact that I am able to complain shows that I am still abled. I ask of each abled one of you to step forward, lend a helping hand, in watever way u can, for it is said: Your $1 will provide a baby and two adults milk and meals in Sri Langka.

Today, they need us, tomorrow Only He will know.....I thank you all.

Tot 2day wld b passing by fast...but DAMN slow man!!!!

Im sittin here infront of two mid age men in the opis n they r blabberin abt old times....still talkin abt old times....old times wch will neber come back again.....their great old times wen life was easier, wrk simpler, pay smaller....blah...blah...blah....repeating the same story at every opportunity available!!!

*NewsFlash* *Yes, I already know them all!!!!!I have already memorize them, I even can repeat it back to you without even utilizing the tiniest celll in my brain!!!!!*

They dont care if I am on the laptop trying to concentrate....they dont care, they wld keep goin on....and on....and on....EXHAUSTED, i feel exhausted, playing along wif their old times' talk, everytime, everyday..Oh and when they talk, all of them talk at the same time, I have to resort to putting up my hand to signal hold on, Im listening to the other person, I'll get back to you shortly...When I talk, they dont let me complete my sentence, always barging in even before they knew wat I am talking about!!!! XIAN AH!!!!!!!

ARRGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! MUST GET OUT OF THIS PLACE!!!!!!DUN BELONG HERE!!!!!NEED PPLE WHO UNDERSTNDS ME!!!!!!

Whenever I tell a joke, Im the only one laughing. When I discuss abt current issues, their response it something like "better not ah, not safe one", this cannot do, that cannot do....always negative, no initiative, no push factor...Why cant they open up their mind....sometimes, even when they do not know abt a certain topic, they act like they know....they can even deny the facts, even when these facts are published proof!!!!!

I dont know wch is worst, a dumb fool who refuses to open up his mind, an idiot trying to act smart r the simple minded who is influenced so easily. Hilarious! Simply stupid hilarious!

Juz the other day, a handphone was ringing non stop 5 damn times wif a tune so loud, it could wake up the bears who are hibernating in the furtherest forest on the other end of the continent. And when I explain to her, she took it as a personal attack. The other simply came along to add oil to fire.

On the other hand, cant blame them, they hav been sheltered in comfort for too long, not exposed to the world outside, never put to the survival test. What can u say? Sigh......must try to feel sorry for them.....

OK, they r all gone now. Must nt let them ruin my wkend! I need RT, retail theraphy that is. Yes, Mango, here I come again!

Later....sigh....

A Mr .....Dunno wat he wld be like.....it wld be interesting to observe hw others react infront of a new Sup. As for me, this makes things worst, it makes me qn even more......abt tat trf....but anywaes, if its policy, I need 3 yrs b4 i could ask for a trf, so I hav a yr more...to try out this new Sup *wink**wink*(Pun intended!)

Quiet confident abt my BT test nw. Yesterday tried the trial test, passed! wif 2 errors, careless ones, nothin I cant overcome next time. Two wks to go b4 my BT...will go for min. 4 more trial tests. But feel qt silly though, outside the classroom b4 the test yesterday, everyone was readin the Adv Theory Bk, seems like Im the only kiasu one doin BT...Wish me luck!

Mango's on sale today according to my sources (my sis lah!) So Im off to Orchard right at 4.30. Might nt get anythin afterall, but might drp by Foreva 21. Tat shop is da talk of twn rite nw. The clothes are fashionable, of nice colors n mst imptly, a lot are wif long sleeves!!!!! So far there had nt been any sale yet, the norm price is abit steep though.

Well, Im back to work... Juz one day, tmrw Im on leave.....then Wed will b back again....sob..sob... Guess Im like Garfield, I hate Mondays!!!!!The weekend is sooo far away and the day seems to go sooo slow....

Thg is last wkend was so great tat I dread goin to wrk today, plus I have this flu. I hate gettin flu, esp wif blocked nose. Too cold n ur nose gets blocked, too warm n it starts to get runny....Ive been sick 3 times in the last mth, in the past, I dun get sick this often. My mum says Im too tired, my hubbs says Im nt gettin enuff rest...Hw can I wen there are always smething to do at hme...wen at hme, the clock seems to skip two whole hrs, eg. time nw is 8pm, the nxt time round I chanced to glance at the clock, it will be 10pm!!!! Still lots to do, yet not much time left...

Last Sat, I had quite a fullfilling day. First I was at Geylang-didnt get wat I wanted, but at least I had scanned all the shops, nw I know where to go the nxt time round. Then I met Yaz at Plaza Sing, we went window shoppin n I bought a few things:
1. A formal cum casual black tote that could carry an A4 size at a discounted price fr $29 to $25!
2. Under compliments by Yaz, I got a discounted This Fashion long skirt, at $20+.
3. A few tudongs...wch I never fail to buy everytime Im in Geylang.

For dinner, me n hubbs went to Newton Food ctr to have SEAFOOD!!!! We spent $37 on a grilled stingray, chilli crabs, fresh baby kailan....We were impressed by the service of this shop: Lucky Seafood, sorry dun know the stall no though, it is near a row of mama shop and a drink stall n had a big halal cert as a lighted signboard. The staff did nt tout us at all n best of all they let us sit there for as long as we want. Unlike the stall nearest to the main entrance, when they see that we are finishin, they wld std ard makin us feel uncomfortable. Really recommend this shp....

Me n Hubbs were sooooo full tha on the way back, in the bus, we zzzzzz......(lucky didnt miss the stop!)

That brings me back to my flu....i guess chilli crabs on top of durians made me sick....so I hav to go get dizzy wif the flu medcine....

Laterrrrzzzzz......

So we were at my hubbs cousin's place yesterday to c the baby. She was so tiny, almost fragile. Seram sejuk nak carry her....Dayang Nor...*something*....Yg cute nya, kata mama dia, Shikin, she smilled on her own in the photo yg hospital tu slalu ambik....nakpak cerah lak....cute lah...

After which, me n hubbs asik kena lecture ....dun plan they say, nanti when we are ready to hav a baby, tak ada rezeki.

Bukan tak nak, tapi kite kenalah plan sikit, ada ke nak terjun botol aje! My hubbs kan tengah ambik dia nye Degree, mana rumah lum dpt-bukan renovation aje, bebenda mcm fridge, sofa, hai mana ada duit oi!!!!!! Ideally, we muz hav settle dwn in our own hse, dah ada kereta, at least dah a few mths bayar installment, baru ada baby. Jadi bila baby kluar smua dah ready. Tak nak lah nanti kena bayar installment reno, car, my hubbs exam fees all at one go. Lagipun bila baby dah kluar, bukan nye dia bole stop growin, sekejap aje nak masuk 1 yr....mcm Marina's twins....dah 6 mths...Nor Azika + Mohd Azik......baru tu ari at my weddin they were still drinkin milk, skarang dah start feedin....

Ika cute, so active, the other day while raya at her place, Marina was feedin her, so agile, blum mak die ready, dia dah bukak mulut besar2...... :0

InsyaAllah, kalau ada rezeki, we want 3 kids. Kalau di izinkan..... Nurul Fazlin....sedap tak? "F-A-Z"- fr my hubbs name, "Lin" sounds like mine.....Kalau boy, tats my hubbs job to pick a name....

Later......

I was at Taka yesterday, shopin for some baby gifts for my hubbs cousin who had just given birth to a baby gurl. The baby clothes are so cuteeeeee!!!!!! There were so many choices, baby Guess, Osh Kosh B'Gosh, there was even a baby Levis....this I tell my self I must buy one day....It had a "starter denim set" complete wif a teenie wheenie denim jacket n jeans complete with the red tag tat says "Levis Kids", an even tiny tee!!!!! Why didnt they hav these when I was still cute!!!!

I remembered when I was in Pri 1, I was carrying a Strawberry Shortcake bag to school. I was the envy of many then....One day during assembly, my tummy was not feeling too good, but before I could tell my teacher, I had poured out over Strawberry Shortcake. I guess choco milk, mee rebus n hopscotch dont mix well! So Strawberry was taken away from me brought to the girls room for a clean up, while I was being dragged down to the office. And tat was the last time I saw Strawberry n everything else on top of it.....

Recently, there was a sudden craze for Strawberry Shortcake n Frens and the CareBear family. Infact, I read that Jean Danker the pretty lass who is now in Class 95 is also a big fan of Strawberry. I saw in the window of a shop that a simple keychain of Strawberry Shortcake was more than $80!!! Imagine if I still had that bag, I could make a fortune out of it...

Well, all inspired after being in Tiny Cutey Land, I asked my hubbs, "So when r we havin one of ours?" He gave me a grin.....

Hi!

Im a newbie.... blogger tat is. Quite excited abt startin tis blogger. :)Thanks to my new fren Coombee, I got tis started out. Thanks a zillllllion gal pal! But its still under construction, so pls understd.

So what shall I start wif? Hehehe...so much to write but dunnoe where to start. Here we go....

Last Sat, I was at Big Splash. Entrance was free for a reason we figured out, the pools are filled wif sea water.... YUCKS! I had to tell myself if I can swim in East Coast, I sure can swim here. Tried the slides; twice on the smaller one, 3 storey high n once on the 5 storey high one. Once is enuf for me coz....my Butt hurts! The force is quite great, i wld tink a lighter kid wld easily be flung out. The impact is quite great tat my 'neber-say-die' hubbs gave up after 3 tries on the taller slide, apparantly his "u noe wat" hurt when he thumped down. Hehehe!!!!

After wch, juz s it was goin to rain, we jumped on e free bus, dropped at Suntec n caught the show, National Treasure at Beach Rd....tat place had many memories of our dating days back then....

It was a great day....we had time to ourselves finally! After our big day in Aug, we hardly had time for ourselves. Wif our diff workin schedules, we have very precious time together, and yet the little time tat we had, we had to shuttle betw my mums n his place.

I hav decided to take up a drivin course. Must work hard tis time, the last time I did it, it was to mit up to a challenge by my then bf. But tis time its for me.....so I must try harder... must make my brain work... its been too lazy...ever since Ive been in tis job...y do u tink I hav time to blog anyway? Sometimes I miz the days when I was workin non stop fr 9-5pm. It was tiring of course, but satisfying. I had a purpose in life....Still undecided if I shld ask for a transfer. Dun want to let my brain slowly deteriorate in this job, to become a mass of yuckie green matter...but if I were to chg to a new environment, my wori is if Im up to it. Being a couch for almost two years nw....I wori I might get too stressed up n start missing all the free time Im havin.

I wori too much. Ill tink abt it first.....Gota get to learnin my Basic T. Later......
