It was rather funny that me and Ziwan have been singing quite a bit in the office recently. Perhaps to entertain ourselves in that shady corner where we are sitting. It was really hilarious how we thought the song was so apt for many instances. As you may have expected, we spread our joy inwards, to the rest of the colleagues sitting inside with our infamous song, The Feeling – Love It When You Call.
I love it when you call
I love it when you call
I love it when you call
But you never call at all
So what’s the complication it’s only conversation
I love it when you call
But you never call at all
Hahahahahahahahaha and we will go on and on.. Until it is imprinted in their minds and our dear Jassine will sing it back to us and scold us for influencing her… muahahaha.. What fun!
Our crankiness don’t end just there. One fine day, I had this love craze hovering over me, we suddenly burst into singing this song.. Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be Will Be)
When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty, will I be rich
Here’s what she said to me.
Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future’s not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be.
After hearing this awesome song in Watson, I went back to office to look up for it via Youtube and you got it right if you think we start singing it all over again. Torn by Natalie Imbrulgia
Heh office is not boring with so many lovelies around =) Yay-ness~
More pictures taken from the Museum soon once I get my cable back. Rock on, God bless =)

Not a great fan of Chinese movies but this one really rocks. Go check it out, I am sure you guys will enjoy. =)
Kids often say the darnest thing. At times, it leaves me wondering if I should be laughing or crying. Enjoy reading the inserts below. =)
LOL!!!
Bought this for a friend who is really worth it. Hey buddy, thanks for everything that you have ever done for me. Hope you like this =)
Something I read which I find it very meaningful…
The small details of our lives are what really matter in a relationship. It is not the mansion, the car, the property, the bank balance that matters. These create an environment conducive for happiness but cannot give happiness in themselves.
Relationships are made not to exploit, not to be broken.
We teach some by what we say
We teach some more by what we do
But we teach most by what we are
People will forget what you said.
People will forget what you did.
But people will never forget how you made them feel.
You don’t get to choose how you are going to die, or when, but, you can decide how you are going to live, here and now.
Dinner with Caleb, Yong Ling and Sin Yi at this restaurant that I can’t remember the name. Oops*
Add in all the ingredients and there you have it.
To compare the size of the bowl and the tall glass. Man it’s huge I’m telling you
Caleb’s Szechuan claypot which seems so yummy
Cute-looking paintings
Sin Yi’s rice wrapped in lotus leaf.
Banana Caramel coated with Chocolate syrup. So yummilicious… Dessert after the movie with my fun-loving colleagues. =) Hellboy is so yucky! I hate it!! But thank goodness the company make up for it =)
Shokudo again the very next day. This time round I went to catch Red cliff before heading for yummy food. Oh boy check out that show man. It’s superb!! It’s in chinese though. haha how often do you hear me say chinese movie is good, so this must be an excellent masterpiece! Salmon avocado pasta!! Must-try!
Thin as paper pizza
To be filled with God’s favor means to soar above all situations no matter what the circumstances might be. Indeed, I’ve been blessed abundantly at my workplace. So KQ if you’re thinking that I sound defeated from my previous entry, hey bro, far from it. Perhaps I am just too tired.
It’s time for me to count my blessings, both literally and not.
- I still think it’s a blessing to be able to return to the same company for a second term of attachment during the holidays.
- Friendly and fun-loving colleagues. I thank God especially for L, for she has been a fantastic friend to me for the past one month and imparted much knowledge unto me. For J, who “bullies” me, yet is so entertaining and cheery.
- I’ve been blessed with an awesome privilege to be part of the team for the Spa Party. I believe it’s a hard to come by chance and I won’t trade that for more shopping, fun and sleep.
- Many thanksgivings for a benevolent boss who also granted me a spa treat as a reward for the effort put in for the Spa Party.
- More $$$ rolling in as I have been sought after for a really good tuition deal which I am still considering.
- More & more $$$$$ rolling in as L and manager have already given green light to my long term stay. Now the challenging part is to balance between my school schedule and work when school reopens. (pls pray for wisdom in this area)
- How can I not thank God for the arrangement of having to work together with Ziwan in the same company. She’s always my bundle of joy.
- Too many, too many blessings for me to list them all. Some may be small but I am still very thankful for each of them. Even when workload seems crazy at times, a colleague is getting on my nerves/ by the sight makes me feel disgusted, I am well assured that I am not taking this in my own strength. Joy and peace are rising from Him who make the grandiose promise of never leaving nor forsaking us. Praise God!
As for now, let’s take a baby step at a time. Carpe diem!
*Looking forward to Angela and Shern’s wedding this Saturday!!!*
I say I don’t care,
Actually I do.
I say I hate you,
Actually I don’t.
I said we shall never talk again,
But I know our paths will meet again.
So will you then leave me alone?
It took a subtle rebuttal from a faithful friend to remind me that many times, I don’t mean what I said. I just wanna lament on the kinda treatment I have been getting recently. Yes, I do dislike the person, but I don’t wanna poison him/her. Neither do I wanna tarnish his/her reputation.
Sometimes, you should just leave me alone. I mean it and I am serious. It’s like I’ve already back off and try to turn a blind eye on the things that you have been doing, so why can’t you do the same and stop stepping on my tail.
When friend E tries to be so nice and join me in bit**ing about the person, I get defensive and protected the person’s reputation instead. So what the hell is wrong with me? I find it ridiculous on a second thought. Here I am lamenting about someone and a split second later, I find myself singing a different tune. It’s certainly not hard to impress me but don’t take my kindness for granted.
But for now, I am DEAD sure, I am disgusted with you to the core. Don’t worry the days are numbered. You won’t get to see me any longer when I am gone.
Peace be to those who love and give themselves sacrificially.
*Every word speaks of what I felt, moved me to tears.*
I’m not the easiest person to love
I’m often the one who lets things go unresolved
Yet you choose to be
on the side of me
on the side of me
Yet you choose to be
on the side of me
on the side of me
I’m not too proud of some things
I’ve done in my life
The skeletons in my closet
Are too big for me to hide
Yet you choose to be
on the side of me
on the side of me
Blessed Charity
You’re on the side of me
on the side of me
‘Cause everyone needs a friend to hold
when it’s cold outside
and there’s no place to go
Everyone needs a friend to hold
all alone I cried
there was no place to go
I remember when nobody cared
but you
I’m not the easiest person to love
But you, you’ve opened your heart to show me what I’m worth
‘Cause you choose to be
on the side of me
on the side of me
What a mystery
You’re on the side of me
on the side of me
‘Cause everyone needs a friend to hold
when it’s cold outside
and there’s no place to go
Everyone needs a friend to hold
all alone I cried
there was no place to go
I remember when nobody cared
I remember when nobody cared
Nobody cared
But you
Yeah you choose to be
on the side of me
on the side of me

Gorgeous Laurel and I. This lady is amazing and working with her is so much fun. She made my stay in the company more meaningful and enjoyable!

The cockroach has already been stepped on by my darling Laurel. And she is so sporting to take a picture with it!

At Raymund's farewell BBQ. It was supposed to be a SURPRISE party. haha somehow he just ain't that surprise after all. Oh wells, but I'm sure all those who are there enjoyed themselves and will be missing him.

I guess we were both pretty tired from work so we chilled at Starbucks after minimal shopping. Oh man, that's unbelievable! Cheesecake and green-tea latte. Yummms...

May I add that to my top 10 most favored dining place as well. A rather small yet cozy setting. Quite romantic too =) The boss' service is applaudable. Go check this out!

Chef Daniel. He is quite observant to his surrounding. haha but my camera seems to be faster than he can turn. Yay-ness!
