I do remember...

The only thing I can do is to pray a blessing for you. And I hope that there is joy in your life, always.

Holiday! Celebrate!

You walked till your legs are "sour" and then you look for the nearest place for a foot massage. You shop till your pockets are quite emptied and you have to dig coins just for a meal at the airport. Now that's what I call enjoyable.

Basic expectations and ground rules were made for the trip...And I was prepared with a netbook and some tasks on hand, just so in case my "gonna auto wake-up friend" really wakes up too late. Fortunately, I also slept slightly longer than usual and she wakes up not too long after me!

The weather was not cold but almost fantastic; bright & sunny with winds!!! And this is the first time ever being in Bangkok without perspiring lotz!!!

Now the best thing is that the both of us are decisive shoppers. We know what we want and know what we really don't want and we don't really have to hang out at one particular shop waiting for each other much. Nice means nice, ugly means ugly. You buy or you don't! Simple as that!!!

This time round, after doing some searching on a forum, we tried a hotel name Citin Pratunam, located just in Pratunam...which is so convenient!!! They have shopping and food stores just downstairs!!! There's no need to be worried that the room service is too ex, or there's nothing to do nearby your hotel. Everything is just within less than 5minutes walking distance!!! The only bad thing? There was a lizard in the room on the last hour spent in the room. *Eeks! And I wonder where did it came from*

Food was good too. We tried almost all the food we planned to eat and we had our breakfasts all at our favorite cafe - Black Canyon Coffee!!! Did I ever mentioned that the one in SG needs lotsa improvement?

Anyway, it really takes awhile finding the right partner to go for travel trips. You must have the right frequency and the right attitude. I know there's lotsa areas which different parties need to accommodate with each other. But just like the scale, if there isn't a balance, one side topples.

Cheers! And may you find your good travel partner!

Setting expectations...

I had been thinking on how a travel trip can turn into a disaster. And the only thing I could think of is that we did not share with each others expectations of the trip and to lay some simple ground rules.

Dang. It didn't happened the first time round as it was a short one and there weren't anything much else to do than to relax and enjoy the greenness.

What really pissed me off is that people taking you or things for granted. And especially the rudeness of being photographed without knowing and the pictures are being posted online in public. Oh yah! And guess what? That person wasn't a fan of being photographed...Then why go take pictures of others?

The other thingy was that one room weren't happy that their time wasn't utilized. Well, I think mine wasn't as well. But what to do? The other room had to keep buying things for her other half and friends and the rest had to follow...which leads to being tired from walking...and eventually, people just don't want to go out? Whose fault har?

As for me? Yes I've got impatient. If there were some expectations like...let's go for a shopping trip. Only shopping. Perhaps we all will have that kinda mentality to JUST SHOP. And the constant buzzing complains of being tired when we were sightsee-ing. That is just plain rude.

It was supposed to be an enjoyable trip but turn out to be a shopping list for others and a time of accommodating with different agendas. Oh man! This really is a disaster.

Work...

Har? Sunday also have to work?

Yes. There are too many profiles on hand and more are coming in. Having 3 colleagues going for maternity and another resigning soon isn't helping at all.

Yet...I love working on Sundays as the office will be very quiet and I would be able to concentrate better without others calling me or asking me on stuffs. Furthermore, I am free to listen to my music without having to plug on earphones.

Anyway...I'm not quite alone in the office. There are many others working too...probably having the same reasons as I do. But ultimately, there is just too many things to do. And the inside of me is shouting, "Pay rise!!! Pay rise!!!"

A rant...

I thought it's gonna be days of negativity with P, but turn out to be the other. ARGH!

In the past, these people are the ones complaining & complaining when I spend too much time/money on my love one. But now, it seems to be a different story with another couple. Was it because this other person is not in their "Hate" list?? DUH!!! Whether or not, if this person did complained; I just feel like slapping her C.X.T.H. face.

Anyway, once bitten twice shy. I'll be wiser in my selection of friends.
(Preferably people whom are less emo-fied)

Happy 1st Month!

Yes! After all these years desiring to get my own transport! I have finally gotten a bike of my own! And today, my bike is 1 month old and it just went for its first servicing! =P

If any of you wondered why I have gotten a bike...the reason is because I really require one!!! And why not a car? Well...my current salary does not allow me to purchase a car as yet! Budden again...it is not of anybody business but mine!

This one month, it has brought me through ups(highways) and downs(slopes) and we have traveled over SG, from the east to the west, and to the north. And onto places I have not been to and some places which brings back lotsa memories.

Not forgetting the blunders I have made, like going into a carpark which does not allow motorcycles and a few cars had to reverse to let me push my bike out. And another is when the gantry didn't successfully scan my IU unit and while leaving the carpark, it just refuses to let me out and a handsome biker happens to be queuing behind me. *How embarrassing*

Nonetheless, having God's permission on this bike, it has really save me quite a sum of $$$ (from taking cabs), avoid anger (from taking public transport) and save me alot of time!!! This probably will be the most expensive birthday gift I ever bought for myself!!! And it came early too!! =)

Hah!

An old friend contacted me recently and I'm amused by the things he had been interrogating me on (through SMS).

One of the most irritating question which he had asked, was what are the qualities I look for in a man? And the conversation goes on like this: -

L: Is that really important?

C: Yes...I recall you being an outdoor active girl, nice, sweet & pretty.

L: So? Anyway people change. Even if one is nice & sweet, that doesn't mean it helps in a relationship.

C: Why do you say that?

L: Why do you keep asking questions?

C: Cos I like girls whom are nice & sweet.

L: Bullshit.

C: ??? What's wrong...

L: Why talk about the qualities of the other person? I realized that is not important these days, on what kinda qualities I am looking for. But it is what the other person is looking for. U mentioned I am nice & sweet, so??? The other person might not even take these as good qualities.

C: Why not?

L: It's all about the differences and whether both of you can deal with each other on it.

C: Meaning?

L: You can be nice and sweet. But the other person thinks you are not intellectual, or one that does not read books and cannot play word games with him and disregards you as being a ideal mate?

C: Then that's his problem.

L: Well...we broke off. But I do agree with you, that's his problem. So stop asking me what kinda qualities I like in a man!!!

Best Fried Chicken!

Issit KFC? Or Popeyes? No!!!

It's at Waffletown located at Balmoral Plaza! This place was introduced by MM and I recall that the first time I was there, I had to order a second helping and in total, I ate 4 pieces of chicken!!!

Though a little inconvenient for those whom does not have their own transport. But still, I say that you give it a try!!!

As for the name of this place, I seriously think that they should change it to Chickytown!

Peace...

It's always good having time to be on my own. My sister is away and I have the whole room by myself. I like having the main lights and without putting on my headphones, I can switch on all the speakers on my computer.

I love it when I am able to pray aloud in my room, having my conversations with God. I love reading the Bible aloud and I love it when I am able to practice my keyboard without any disturbance.

I simply love every moment of this. Thank You Lord =)

I hated you...but I was wrong!

I hated you(she)...but I was wrong! And I'm deeply sorry for that.

After knowing "the big discovery", I realized how stupid and silly I was. And I not stupid anymore!!! (pardon my broken language , it's from a local film. read here)

You(he) left two damaged but we were redeemed and raised up again by the grace of God.

One of my favorite things stepping into 2010 is leaving the past 2 years behind behind behind! And I will not cease thanking, praising God and agreeing with the following two verse:-

Philippians 1:12-14 (New King James Version)
But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel, so that it has become evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ; and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

For too long, I mourned on the fallen relationship. And today, I pronounced it dead and buried turned to ashes, never to be revived.

*Status?

My status? Or things on my mind now? Like as on facebook?

There is a part of me that still hurts badly; I want to cry out loud but I cannot do so other than just quietly crying under my blanket.

Thank God! I made it back home...
