God Speaks to Each of Us

God Speaks to Each of Us

God speaks to each of us before we are,
Before he's formed us then, in cloudy speech,
But only then, he speaks these words to each
And silently walks with us from the dark:

Driven by your senses, dare
To the edge of longing.
Grow Like a fire's shadowcasting glare
Behind assembled things, so you can spread
Their shapes on me as clothes.
Don't leave me bare.

Let it all happen to you: beauty and dread.
Simply go no feeling is too much
And only this way can we stay in touch.

Near here is the land
That they call Life.
You'll know when you arrive
By how real it is.

Give me your hand.

Miracle Game I watched

Today was the biggest exciting and painful feeling to watch the best 2 teams Man Utd and Chelsea. My dear and I chose to watch Man Utd played with Everton today and before the first half time, Man Utd played very badly and was conceded one goal in. MU played so many games without resting due to major fixtures such as European Championship Semi Final and FA Cup and EPL too.

Seen the result between Chelsea and Bolton came with draw 2 - 2 was the little disguise lucky to let Man Utd remains top in EPL to chase the title soon by 3 remaining fixtures to go. Sir Alex was behaving very funny and act like "grandfather" to every MU players on field when 4 goals winning in. Surprised to see the newest player like Eagle, yet he scored in one.

I admitted to say that Everton played very well and even tried very hard to stop MU from scoring in but to be fair that Everton had got 2 goals in which resulted in MU 4 - Everton 2. Same for Bolton who played against Chelsea but delivered the best news to know that Blue earned only one point.

I am still support to Man Utd since 1994. Unbelieveable isnt it ?? In fact, it is the true. Even I remember the old players of MU, like Eric Cantona, Lee Sharpe, Roy Keane, Peter Sch, Boston, Ruud, Yorke and many more..... who deserved to be remember by the people who suppot MU all the way.

Now I really hope MU to win the EPL championship 2006/07 title, FA cup and European Champion to repeat the memorable history of treble winner 1999. So that I will buy the authentic Man Utd kids jersery for my newborn baby which will be due in November 2007. Exciting ????

What is a CLOSE GAP escape ??

Yesterday was the Grand Final "Live" of Miss Singapore Universe 2007 and big game of EPL - NEWCASTLE VS CHELSEA. I chose to watch EPL instead as I expected chelsea to lose this match or draw because of disappointment game between Man Utd and Boro ended up draw 1 - 1.

No idea what went wrong with MAN UTD? No fighting spirit to score more shown at Old Trafford. Man Utd defence crisis is getting worse and weaker already. 6 players are on injury list and no doubt of any sign of good news of them. I really hope MAN UTD to win the remaining 3 - 4 left matches to chase the title smoothly.

After the first half of newcastle and chelsea, I changed the channel quickly to catch who was in Top 10 and Top 5. After that, I watched EPL again with my dear. Yeah, we were very anxiously and made sure newcastle must blocked chelsea from scoring in.

Then it delivered a relief sign that Chelsea showed the disappointed reaction after 90 + 4 extra mins ended up with goalless draw. grin.....

I finally caught to watch the show and seen all the 18 finalists on stage. I never expected this MSU 07 Jessica Tan was the winner of MSU 2007 despite of her height only 167cm. At first all the way, I only pinned hope on MSU 01 Christabel Campbell to be the one winner as she is young only 19, tallest 178cm and look good enough to respresent Singapore for Miss Universe 2007 in Mexico City.

Look back to MSU 2004 winner crown, Sandy Chua was only 19 years old. Now she is homemaker and waiting for first child arrive in August 2007. No wonder, have not heard anything about her since then.

Back then from MSU 2003 to 2006, I did not have a chance to watch as I thought it would be a little waste of my time to watch MSU. So only I could read anything about MSU 2003 - 2007 thru 8-days magazines. Guess I m just abit ignorant about MSU thingy.

Bad Customer Services

Yesterday 18th April 2007, I accompanied my dear to Ang Mo Kio Hub where he supposed to meet his client there. I was told that AMK Hub has alot of shops selling fashion clothes and also alot of food outlets to choose. So I decided to take a look there.

I would say that AMK Hub is far better than one at Toa Payoh Air Con Interchange as AMK Hub has many shops such as almost the same as at Far East Plaza. But the clothes there at AMK is not very latest trend and prices of clothes are quite expensive. Not much people there. At TPY, all shops are not much appealing to me and that is why I hardly go there (like once every 3 months on).

Then we went up to Food Court for our lunch time and at same time, my dear was busy talking to his client. Good thing was that his client was super friendly and I managed to catch 10 - 15 mins sms chat with her face to face. After that, I decided to take a walk around shops downstairs.

I wont name the two shops whose salegirls are super bad at customer service I encountered was the worst more than those one at far east plaza. And it was my first time visit there and yet they gave me very very bad impression. I was extrememly disappointed and decided not to buy dress and skirt from those 2 shops. I will say that salesgirl at shops are worse than those sellers of yahoo auction / ebay.

Cases:

1) one small shop selling alot of women clothes and the young salegirl is quite pretty but behaves very arrogant. She stood very stiff near her cashier counter and did not bother to approach customers who are looking at clothes to browse before decide to buy or not. I saw one girl was trying the chiffon skirt and poor girl asked salegirl for help.

Guess what happened?

This salegirl only took the ugly skirt for her to try even this designed skirt could not suitable her. Bad taste choice of this salegirl chose for her. Only this poor girl's friend came to help her to choose. Till they could not take it with this salegirl's bad attitude and they decided to leave and wont buy anything. So I took my turn to try this chiffon skirt. Then look at this salegirls didnt bother to ask me to try this at dressing room and pretended she did not see me busy choosing one of 2 skirts I wanted to buy. What to do ? Best is dont buy skirt from her who has nasty attitude towards customers.


2) my last visit was the shop which selling both baby and women clothes. I saw the floral colorful dress in the display and I really liked this dress. Actually I know this dress comes from which country as I know this manufacture company somemore. So nevermind about this. I came in this shop and found few nice dresses to try. Then guess what young salegirl doing ?

She was sitting and shaking legs at the counter and didnt bother to stand up when I came in the shop. I was looking at few dresses to try, this salesgirl didnt approach me to ask if I need help or else. Then in end I took my turn to ask her whether can try this dress. She still was sitting there and nodded her head saying can try. What is this attitude of her?

After I tried the dress and came out from dressing room, I saw this salegirl suddenly came out and pretended to be hardworking when the boss came in. So good acting this young salegirl has this kind of bad attitude. So I asked the salegirl that I wanted this flora dress at display, she asked the boss. Werid???? So in end I dont buy this dress from hyprocite salegirl. Poor boss for being blind to hire her as salesgirl.

I am still avid shopper at yahoo auction & ebay and seen much difference from online seller to shop salegirls. None of online seller has nasty or poor attitude as at customer services I encountered before. Somemore I am seller online too and polish up myself to be practical as good customer service.

I will never go AMK HUB ever again to buy clothes from shops there. Even I left AMK Hub with my dear after walking around 2 hours.

Horror Symptoms I Faced

Was bored to very very upset at home and I could not go out alone at this early stage of pregnancy as I sometimes get very bad dizzy or feeling abnormal pain or backpain and nausea. Admit to say that I really hate those horror feeling which I have to deal with it bravely to move on.

I used to think that mothers-to-be or pregnant women will not feel those irrirating feeling or any pregnancy symptoms. I realised that I was wrong especially when I was just one month pregnancy, I got backpain constantly, lose some appetites, often get very "wind" vomite feeling and tired very very fast to make me lose my own interest which I used to be. It is very sad encounter for me to bear this and that.

Then now is past 2nd month pregnancy stage, I tried to pull myself through and my hubby kept saying be patient and 9-10 months will be past very very fast. I keep nodding to say "yes" all the time but to me, I am really frightend of being put on weight so much and even stretch marks on my belly. Also I have to buy new maternity clothes, alamak..... real headache to me when come to think this...

I do not know if will all stretch marks DISAPPEAR after I give birth ......... help me....

After barely 2 months, I am trying very very hard not to think much of this and that unnecessarily. What to do ? Just put on huge smile and be stay happy for a new baby's sake. Also I want those horror pain to disappear from me - I do not want to have this BackPain, "wind" vomite feeling or get tired very fast within every 15 - 30 mins. *tap on my forehead* Just close my eyes will do and let time fly very fast in no time soon is even better for me.

Was told that I should rest more at home but I could not shut my eyes well especially at afternoon. So sometimes at afternoon, I just watch television or reading books / magazines or surf internet to read site such as singapore motherhood or catch a look at korea website to make myself feel less pain suffering, ya.

This picture of the latest Blue Leather Tote Bag Made in Korea that caught my sight very deeply. Yeah I do love this designed bag of Korea which is far better than those branded bags. I do not know why I started to appreciate those fashion eletric blue color. I cannot say because of fashion trend color. It is my own individual thought.

But please bear a tiny mind that exchange rate in Korea is quite expensive compare to those bags selling at Far East Plaza or Bugis Village. This blue leathe tote bag costs in korea dollars : - Won 89,000. But my own opinion that it is worth to have this bag to be carried thoughtout the seasons or can carry for more than 2 years till bag is worn out.



Inside this bag has leopard layer protection and it has a few compartments to be put for hp or keys blah blah..... Tote bag is more roomy and space for my baby stuffs (milk bottles and wet tissue and nappies and else) inside bag in case I bring baby out. Worth thought.... :))
Actually when I see this bag, it makes me alittle happy and I forget about the pain for 2 - 4 days already. Then I can move around and visit mother's home in yishun to play with my darling nephew and niece.

Blank Beauty




BLANK BEAUTY


Beautiful blank pages

kiss our

imaginations

with backgrounds

that demand precision.


Our black letters cross

on tightrope lines,

curving

without wavering

across deep, invisible currents.


These beautiful blank pages

are promises of our

reflections.

Our gentlest strokes

of darkness upon light.

A quota written by her

I happened to read a blog which is written by one of my friends who are neither my buddy nor close friend. Just like a normal friend even we were from same secondary school.

A quota written by her:

i admit i'm not good in friendship with them esp all gals. they like getting mistakes, backstabbing me, challenging with me, making my love hate me and miscommunicating. in fact, i lost alot of gals that they re used to be my best buddies and closefriends when i was in primary and sec sch. they believe others more than me. i feel no point to get them back coz i've no power~ so now i must make sure tat i protect my clear name. please don't change my attitudes if u don't like me. sorry i don't want to change myself to better person coz most in my attitudes re good enough except poor friendship. friendship is not worthy to me as if i've big debt problem, u think they can help me? no right? i've thought many times when i lost friends. realize and be strong. i don't feel sad of losing friends but i really don't want losing my BEST GOD sisters and brothers, my love and even my ex. but other good thing, friends can keep me accompany and have fun.

She can be abit straightforward when come to write in her blog but it is a big way out of line which meant she wrote this is nonsense. Only take out this part to be point out. Briefly, I actually know her and seen her before in tuition centre but did not introduced as a friends. But I am aware something about her life and herself as I have seen her few times before. Also communicated with her many times till then I realised she cannot be my trusted friend. That is why I said only a normal friend.

See the green color format of quota which she wrote in her blog. See all the time she mentioned friendship, girls, guys and other irrelvant which is non of her business. yet she likes to bitch around without people's consent or dont know how to respect people's feeling. I did not see any faults lie with her own friends. In fact, it is her thinking or attitude problem which she is being mislead of misunderstood others without finding what is happening. She sometimes can be little careless about herself and also deny herself which it is her fault too. Admit to say that, it is a big yes that she is the weakest person among my friends as she did not know how to think properly and only know how to break people's personal issues to the others.

She said that friendship is not worthy to her as if she is in big debt. Why should she mentioned friendship again and again? What about her own parents? I simply do not understand why she is so good at using friendship as a threat when if she is in big debt. It is not her friends fault anyway and it is none wrong with her friends who involved big debt with her.

Of course I should say that she is at fault for being landed herself in big debt as she borrows money from others even though she is a full time stable working already. Somemore she is overly spend-thrift and failed to save some saving for her future. I know her this part as her weakness.

What is a big joke of what she was writing like this with nonsense?

I just want to speak out of this after I read this in her blog and I really do not need to tell her. it is her own thinking like this. No way for me to tell her myself. I do not like to waste my time to tell her this and that. She is not going to listen this and that is why she is losing her own friends one by one. Hopefully she will learn this lesson herself and remain the same as herself.

LOVE LOVE Shi Adessoi (Spring)

Happening to browse thru taiwan yahoo auction and saw the liking spring collection of Shi Adessoi which I fell in love with those various trendy free - spirited tops I love very much. But unfortunately my computer does not have translant language to interprete every complicated chinese words into english language. I am computer idiot lor.

It is Spring Collection now over the world, sure you have seen those words shown on every banners such as mango or zara or topshop and other branded items.

Spring collection trendy clothes are always the best and nicer & better than the collection of Winter. Very upset to say that I cannot wear them or order those right now due to my commitment - which is meant that I am newly now expectant. So only looking for fashion maternity clothes now. *headache*





Those 5 pictures I uploaded here -
to show how much I love their spring clothes very much and even I drooling over them non - stop.
Of course I am very desperate to own them to add in my wardrobe happily. Because in Singapore, not many shops will sell those clothes. Very hard to walk around at FEP or Bugis or Heeren or else to find them, very very troublesome. Rather go through speed browse at yahoo auction then order them without sweating headache. :))

The Big Heart

Big heart, wide as a watermelon,
but wise as birth,
there is so much abundance
in the people I have:
Max, Lois, Joe, Louise,
Joan, Marie, Dawn,
Arlene, Father Dunne,
and all in their short lives
give to me repeatedly,
in the way the sea
places its many fingers on the shore,
again and again
and they know me,
they help me unravel,
they listen with ears made of conch shells,
they speak back with the wine of the best region.
They are my staff.
They comfort me

They hear how
the artery of my soul has been severed
and soul is spurting out upon them,
bleeding on them,
messing up their clothes,
dirtying their shoes.
And God is filling me,
though there are times of doubt
as hollow as the Grand Canyon,
still God is filling me.
He is giving me the thoughts of dogs,
the spider in its intricate web,
the sun
in all its amazement,
and a slain ram
that is the glory,
the mystery of great cost,
and my heart,
which is very big,
I promise it is very large,
a monster of sorts,
takes it all in--
all in comes the fury of love.
Anne Sexton

Having BLACK time at Forever21 ?

Went to Forever21 outlet at orchard to see any latest trend clothes of spring collection....The moment I entered this F21 shop, there is nothing change and almost the same since it was offically opened few years back then.
Used to like some clothes at Forever21 due to nicer design clothes but now...everything clothes in Forever 21 is quite steep...must say abit expensive compared to those clothes at such as Zara and Mango outlets. Till now, I never buy anything clothes from Forever21 as nowsdays designed clothes are getting more duller and duller.
For example....some plain tops with some little designed but yet it costs range $38.00 to $55.00. Some tops with material did not come in good handy and wont last longer to wear. Most shorts or skirts also costs above $45.00 - $68.00. Admit to say...kinda faint when see the prices of items everything there.
I even tired the black top and checkered short at Forever21 changing room.. guess the total price of 2 items.
It is $76.00...just for 2 pieces only.
If I have $76.00, I can eventually spend it to buy 3 - 4 clothes at either Bugis Village or Far East Plaza somemore.
The next hunt will be at ZARA or MANGO outlet someday. Now is Spring Collection 2007 so must catch every clothes trend to see any unqiue designs.

Love Home-Cooked Curry Chicken

Love Home-Cooked Curry Chicken was specially prepared by my dear who could cook this as I did not know to cook curry something like this. Gonna to start learning how to cook curry one day.

Everydays except weekends, I always cook home dinner for my dear after his work and never like to eat outside as it is not my likings and somemore the food price will steep up from $3.00 to $4.00 one day for sure. Everything is controlled by government - sick of this actually. So we may save more to buy cheap & nice food from NTUC back home to cook at home. So simple will do.






Crispy whole chicken for 2-3 persons but my dear ate 2/3 of this while I ate only 1/3 because I ate alot of curry veggy.









Realised my camera was not working that time and photo turns out so blur and not very clearly. This picture taken during 1st day of CNY.

Now my camera is recovered from surgery, hahaha....







Yummy.... my dear gave me this piece and it was easier for me to eat this with fork and spoon, no need use hands lah.







Actually we had dinner at living room near television because he wanted to watch his favourite show every evening times. So what to do... give him in abit lah.

His Relatives Side

Yesterday my dear asked me to go with him to meet his big and small aunties together for lunch. When I heard this, I had a little frightened and did not know what to do. And then I was trying to tell him that I did not want to go but no choice :((

**When I was young, I disliked to go out with relatives & family together for lunch or dinner together and trying to excuse myself to play or sit somewhere.**

So we went to Tampines area to fetch 2 aunties to East Point mall at Simei for lunch together and I tried very very ....hard to smile and communicate with them. I not sure if they barely understand the basic of english. Nevermind about this seriously, I just said HI to them and they also said this to me. Also the big auntie was shocked to see me so tall and asked me how tall I am. I mentioned 1.70cm and she laughed so sweety to say she is 1.75cm. Learnt that she is baby sitter.

Ahead to restaurant at east point mall, sorry i forget the name of this...... we ate together and my dear talked to them while I just sat down silently to watch them. Poor my dear had to be interpreter to me what aunties wanted to ask me or talked to me. They said that my dear was very naughty when he was young. I knew this already long ago yet he claimed he was good boy in the past, hahahahaha.... He was told to be true to me and or else it is hard to find good girl like me like this ah... I laughed at him.

After that we went to my dear's cousin, Elaine at her home, simei which is so so so near to my home, alamak.. surprised indeed. Also visited her cute & fashion baby girl, Chloe barely 2 months old. Guess what I saw - Elaine colored abit to Chloe's hair brown copper and also wore pink baby tee with words said "My rock mummy". So so sooooooo cute... I bought Elaine a big set of baby sheet for Chloe.

We all chatted together and talked and joked laughs together for almost 3 hours then we came to our home to visit. Elaine and small auntie could not believe that I am doing clothes business despite of my current disadvantage condition. They have seen alot of pretty & nice clothes and wanted to try them. Funny.. look at small aunt dared to wear them. It amazed me... Nice... Poor small auntie that she liked this pretty art mod vintage blue dress but it could not fit her and too sexy for her auntie age. Yet she said dont care and wanted to wear this. hahahaha... We all laughed at her so funny to talk like this.

Till 7pm, my dear sent them home and I rushed to prepare dinner to cook. before that, I watched channel 8 - central affair part 2 which is the best HK drama. Thanks god that everything went smoothly, ya.... :))

Hope is the thing...

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

We Lost In Big Jungle

Last night, we watched Man United and Liverpool together. And we were all frightened and prayed to have a goal despite of MU's shot only 4 while Liverpool's shot 14 which is more lot already. We almost went to sleep as we would go for running ar MacRitches Reservoir today. In end we stayed on and saw the free kick by Ronaldo and miracle came after O Shea found the right spot to score a goal to lead 12 points gap away from Chelsea in EPL table.

We rushed back to bed to sleep as got to wake up at 6.30am...sunday morning mah... Before head off to MacRitches Reservoir, I asked my dear if he knows the map well there or not.. If not later we lost there how.. sweating... Then he kept assumed me saying "dont worry, dear. I know the route to run." It was such a relief to me at first place.

Then when we reached there and saw car park full and see alot of marathon runners and cyclists there. Never know it is such so many people and it did not affect us anyway either. Lucky we found to park there. Then we walked to the map to see where to run... this area is so....sososososososos big and got few colors routes which state the distances to run.
Example: Pink Route: 2.4km, Black Route: 4.7km, Green Route: 9.0km, Yellow Route: 11.5km and Orange Route: 18km.

When I looked at this map, my mind went blank and blur... not sure of which route directions to lead us to run. I had been there once during my cross-country championship for my Boon Lay Secondary School only then after this, I never go there ever again. Till now today, when I was there and could not remember which route where I ran before with my cross-country team during my ECA days. That was long ago already.

My dear kept asking me which one should we go running then I stared back at him to say that I cannot be too sure and tried our luck to run anyhow after memoried the route on map. Also we followed the path as well. We ran till the most difficult was the path turned out wet, slippery,muddy, alot of stones and alot of trees everywhere. Still got people running this routes. I started to frown to say is it correct route ah.

I nearly fell but lucky I managed to balance & control and we kept running. We ran on wooden paths near reservoir and saw the army marathon runners and asked them for help where is the way out. He told us to run about 4km more to reach there. So we ran till we reached at somewhere which got tall building and map said golf trails, we seemed lost them and did not know which routes to go back. Then we ended up scolding each other in biggest jungle and I was too frightened as I disliked the eerie sound there. I screamed at my dear to find ways out and faster to walk & run. All I want to be safe and sound, yet my dear told me to be relax at quite jungle huh..

Guess what happened next...we ended up at dead end which is at golf country club which is very far away from MacRitches Reservoir. Extremely hot and tired. Started run at 8am and ended almost 10am something. My running shoes was spolit. Then we approached to country club staffs for help to call taxi to bring us back there.

Our legs was very very very painful and really aching everywhere... we had breakfast together then ahead home to rest. Today was our first time happening to experience something like this. I told him that I will never go there ever again.


My running shoes had been with me since late 2004 that I started running. Used to be cross country runner for BLSS 1998-1999 then other track & field 1998 - 2001.

This shoes is actually has some sentimentals to me and I could not bear to throw them away. First: my dear bought this for me to start running again to stay fit, second: it left me a great feeling after I completed run 10km of Army Half Marathon & Sheare Bridge 2006 with my dear and last one: finally finished 10km women run of Standard Chartered Marathon 2006 clocked in 1hr 12mins and 35secs.
Those black parts were come out or dropped somewhere at MacRitches Reservoir. Sad....



Again my dear bought this new pair of Adidas running shoes for me today. Switched branded to adidas from long time Nike.



Trying to get used to this new pair and will going to start running again after my legs recover.
Only about $85.00 after given discount 10%.
I love this color.





Sole based is nice color and light and stronger than my old Nike running shoes.
Hope it will help me better for my next 21km run coming in August 2007.

The Word of God

Catherine Faber - The Word of God

From desert cliff and mountaintop we trace the wide design,
Strike-slip fault and overthrust and syn and anticline...
We gaze upon creation where erosion makes it known,
And count the countless aeons in the banding of the stone.
Odd, long-vanished creatures and their tracks & shells are found;
Where truth has left its sketches on the slate below the ground.
The patient stone can speak, if we but listen when it talks.
Humans wrote the Bible; God wrote the rocks.

There are those who name the stars,
who watch the sky by night, Seeking out the darkest place, to better see the light.
Long ago, when torture broke the remnant of his will,
Galileo recanted, but the Earth is moving still
High above the mountaintops, where only distance bars,
The truth has left its footprints in the dust between the stars.
We may watch and study or may shudder and deny,
Humans wrote the Bible; God wrote the sky.

By stem and root and branch we trace, by feather, fang and fur,
How the living things that are descend from things that were.
The moss, the kelp, the zebrafish, the very mice and flies,
These tiny, humble, wordless things -- how shall they tell us lies?
We are kin to beasts; no other answer can we bring.
The truth has left its fingerprints on every living thing.
Remember, should you have to choose between them in the strife,
Humans wrote the Bible; God wrote life.

And we who listen to the stars, or walk the dusty grade
Or break the very atoms down to see how they are made,
Or study cells, or living things, seek truth with open hand.
The profoundest act of worship is to try to understand.
Deep in flower and in flesh, in star and soil and seed,
The truth has left its living word for anyone to read.
So turn and look where best you think the story is unfurled.
Humans wrote the Bible; God wrote the world.

Funny Argentina Football Team


This team must be ARGENTINA football team because I know this player named Veron ot V something who used to played for Manchester United. *Tap on my forehead* Forgot his name, sigh. I am refering to the player who held red handbag.

CNY Craze Fridge


Today was such a super craze just like SALE SPREE... *sweating mah* rushing to NTUC to buy stuffs and forget my list. I just anyhow to buy foods and drinks quickly then brought them home to store them up at my fridge. It will surely assue me that those foods will last about 3 - 4 days from 18th to 21st Feb 2007. I do not like to eat outside and many coffeeshops or food courts close on those CNy days, same as usual. Also I do not want to eat fastfood such as macdonald for 3 or 4 days....bloodly increase fats and it takes me about 2 weeks to lose weight mah.
Seriously, I do like to do home cooking and do not need to add much salt or MSG or oil and blah....
Every years of CNY dinner reunion, I always go to my aunt's apartment to have steamboat together with other relatives side.
Cannot wait to see CNY over faster... :P Sure I will be more tiring and crazy on those 3 CNy days soonest.....

What can you do on CNY if you are bored ??

I received this plently of super cute photos of orange peel turned out to be a tiny pig from my circle of friends yesterday. I never know that orange peel can be another creative idea to do this just like those photos above.

To you all adult young people, maybe you have nothing to do during thise 3 CNY days, all you can do is to go out to watch movies or meet up with friends to have meal gatherings or just peeling orange to play animal puzzle like this.

I like the last picture of pig with white underwear because it is super funny & cute to me.

Have fun yourselves on those CNY days!~!

Towards to CNY days


One day more to go before the first day of Chinese New Year festival. Times fly very fast like so...so crazy. Actually I want this festival to come very slow or over faster. When I was young, I was extremely excitied and super crazy about having long days to celebrate CNY just to avoid going to school (primary and secondary schools). But now I am already grown-up and changed its feeling towards this festival. I started to hate of celebrating those CNY festival when I entered working life after my graduation with business studies.
When I went to NTUC outlet to buy stuffs, I was very shocked to see full house crowd and difficult for me to squeeze in to get stuffs. WHY? See - many families need rush to buy foods, CNY goodies and else which lasts them for 3 - 5 days to have. I started to sick of this already and long waiting to queue up to pay for stuffs. It happened to me the same for the past 4 years till now.
I also do not like to go to my relatives houses or travel to many places to visit. So tiring and sweating.... no happening... All I do is just greet "happy new year" by shaking hands and smile then drink orange and eat goodies and watch television and chat.... all the same from young till now. Admitted to say this...it is very boring festivals to me and I rather to stay at home to watch dvds or go play sports or go overseas for short holiday.
Anyway, wish you all a Happy Lunar New Year and hope you all will receive more red packets, ya.

Re-Gain Back....


This is the most BITTER SOUR BITTER SOUR chinese herbal drink my dear bought for me to drink to re-gain back energy that I lost the last few days back. And also my immune system. He bought 2 bottles and then he wrote the word "wife" on yellow cap for me to drink. Think he scared I drank wrong bottle or mixed up. I hold my nose tightly when I drank this... cannot stand this so...bitter...till my tongue so sour to taste. No choice, has to drink this to avoid from fell sick.
I think I am quite sentimental person who tends to think quite alot about the past of my family especially my parents and happened to remember partly. But when thinking about this, in end I burst into tears so easily. Seemed that I lost my control and could not hold my tears well.
Sometimes I do envy of those children or grown-up teenagers have happy family together thoughout their happy childhood life. Even supportive parents support / encourage them of what they are doing like in studies or sports or else. I do wish to have this. I never had this kind of feeling, yet I could hold it longer till now.
Still I have to do it myself eveything in studies, sports and working life without help or support from people me from young till now. True enough was that I faced alot of obstacles around me and experienced alot of hardships, finally I break it into many pieces. All I know I love you daddy & mummy very much for making me grow up into a very strong person since young.

Click... Click... Click



The latest new movie "CLICK" I watched recently. But this dvd not belongs to me as my friend lent me just to console me.

** What if You Had a Universal Remote........That Controlled Your Universe ?**

What this show abouts .... - A workaholic architect, who has been overlooking his family in favour of his career, comes across a universal remote that allows him to perform TiVo-like functions on his life, such as pausing events or fast-forwarding over them. When the remote begins creating its own memory and choosing what to fast-forwarding over, the man sees how much of his personal life has passed him by and realizes the importance of spending more than with his family.

Actually I wished to have this remote with "life menu play >>" in real life so that I could save my dad from having this stupid diseases which he suffered of. Of course, I do not want him to suffer much much... till I could not take it to see him like this. Sometimes I do not want to live in this world and do think that world is being unfair to everybody who contracted with some werid or unknown diseases which doctors could not save them or medicine even treatment cannot save them eventually.

Heard that miracle healing may works on my dad but to me, I do not think so as it is already too late as my dad is at around 3 - 4 stage of this diseases. How to let miracle healing can do with his diseases within very short time? I dont know if it is TRUE. Cannot say I doubt it. I only find it hard to convince myself when come to the term of miracle healing.

Really frustrating.... I am really too exhausted to stand up and do my work but could not do it. I keep thinking of him (my dad) and sitting down silently for whole 2 days at corner area. It made me extra burden & careful to look after my mother too.

How I wish that those werid or unknown diseases SHOULD NEVER COME BACK TO HARM THOSE GOOD & INNOCENT PEOPLE ?

Till then, I was told firmly that I cannot not control eveything in this world...........

Darkness ...... Silence......


Darkness is a word to describe of my own feeling in term of dealing with a person who contracted with some kind of disease which CANNOT BE cured or saved or go for surgery or treatment. Darkness is very dull word to descibe the various of diseases appear suddenly without knowing or else.
Silence is a terrible word to describe of my loss feeling which I cannot think or believe of what I have seen in my real life to face up. Silence is a difficult word which shut out of my mind and I really do not know what to say to my dearest one.
Yesterday I went straight to see my father at Toa Payoh area after received shocking sms from my sis and mother. I had a bad nervous and thought something happened to him. He and I are staying seperately. When I see this sms from my sis, I knew something will going to happen to him and in end I burst into crying heavily. Cannot hold it myself and felt like lost in control. I was very very ANGRY with this kind of cruel disease of my father has. Why must He has this ? Why him?
Rushed to TPY and shocked to see my father's condition getting worse than last year I last visited him. Told myself not to show my face tear to him but I could not control and keep blaming on those diseases. Even I was told that he may not live longer. When I heard this and I kept saying NO WAY and disliked to hear this horror sentence.
I kept looking at my father while he looked at his skin rash to relief the itch and still keep smile at me, my bro and my dear despite of bad condition of disease he already has at that stage. Felt very very painful and upset to see him suffering too much. Even I cannot hug him or else I may get from him.
He even cannot come out to walk longer or else he cannot breathe properly, he cannot sleep well because of itches disturbing him, he cannot drink water or else he will feel pain inside his mouth or throat, he even cannot eat anything execpt soft bun which is tar sau. Very painful to see him like this.
No advance medicine or surgery can save him but miracle praying do may help abit I may believe abit and abit... All I want him to live longer and less disease to vanish. I want him to stay strong & live till if he can survive. My wish is that I want him to walk down on aisle with me on my coming church wedding.
I wont name this disease and please show alittle respects for me.

Lipstick Alert ! ! ! !

Taking this warning with a grain of salt until I've checked it out but , thought I should send it on just in case. I do not know if it is true story or not. I never buy / use expensive make-up products to doll up myself.

If there is a female you care anything about, share this with her. I did!!!!! THEY care about as well!

Recently a brand called "Red Earth" decreased their prices from $67 to $9.90.It contained lead.
Lead is a chemical which causes cancer.

The Brands which contain lead are:
1. CHRISTIAN DIOR
2. LANCOME
3. CLINIQUE
4. Y.S.L
5. ESTEE LAUDER
6. SHISEIDO
7. RED EARTH (Lip Gloss)
8. CHANEL (Lip Conditioner)
9. MARKET AMERICA-MOTNES LIPSTICK.

The higher the lead content, the greater the chance of causing cancer.After doing a test on lipsticks, it was found that the Y.S.L.

lipstick contained the most amount of lead.Watch out for those lipsticks which are supposed to stay longer. If your lipstick stays longer, it is because of the higher content of lead.

Here is the test you can do yourself:
1. Put some lipstick on your hand.
2. Use a Gold ring to scratch on the lipstick.
3. If the lipstick color changes to black then you know the lipstick contains lead.


Please send this information to all your girlfriends, wives and female family members.This
information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical CenterDioxin Carcinogens causes cancer, especially breast cancer.

Remember them - Daren & Diya



Watched their performance at Grand Final on 4th February 2007 (Sunday) at home. It was quite exciting but mostly was scary because I do not know which one will be winner to take crown. Both are good...So leave to the public votings better. In end, to my biggest surprise that Daren won the crown by only 59% of total public votings beat Diya's 41%. Unbelieveable, ya.


I simply love this shocking long unqiue design on diya and the combined color and edge detail is such fantastic. It attracts my attention very much. Want to try this, haha....

But very sad to know that PSS 2 Blog Station had come to the end and I gonna to miss reading their blogs regularly which I was reading them since October 2006 till now. No chance to ask Mag Yeong for their msn add or else as she is the only one I supported.

you can read about them at channel U website: -

Moses & Yuhui's Wedding after 10 years


Church Wedding was at FCBC, Marine Parade on 20th January 2007 (Saturday). Wisely is my long-time friend from primary school till now. Finally new chapter entered their new life of marriage after 10 years relationship together.

Photos with serial numbers according :
1 - wedding presentation on projector at church stage before bride arrived.
2 - finally bride walked on aisle to hand her to Moses.
3 - finally got the prefect shoot of beautiful bride
4 - pastor David Wee (of coz I know him) was giving version interpreter to couple
5 - finally newly couple kissed each other
6 - they give a thank you speech to guests
7 - newly married couple smile at my digit camera
8 - group photos together with the couple
9 - my friends from primary school till now
10 - my friend from SAC


Not the first time for my hubby attended church wedding of my friends. That was his second time attended moses's church wedding. At first of Ryan & Pao Ru's s church wedding, not much HI (hearing-impaired) people there but some of them he knew as I intro them to my dear quite long ago.
Glad was that my dear knows sign language to communicate well with my HI friends. Then to Moses's one was far different from Ryan because there are too many HI people my dear did not know. Lucky that few of my friends whom my dear knows came.
Feel abit sorry for my dear but he said that he was surprised that some HI people can talk well despite of being deaf condition. He has no problem to use sign language to talk to them even talking is already in SILENCE. *hard to explain this to you mah*

TOP 2 Ds - both name of first letter are the same such as Daren and Diya. What is a prefect same letter names of talent singers walking into Grand Final.

Had a hard - nervous feeling about those 4 singers yesterday. As I watched them and been hoped to see only Daren to go through to the Grand Final. Now I told you that yesterday post, I mentioned if Diya makes it to Grand Final, it will be a great good news for music industry & entertainment.

This is their latest new single albums and I am going to buy both cd albums to support them. I cant buy one, just buy both.

Look alike to Jeff Wang, artist.


Will be the next 2nd regin of our successful Stefanie Sun. Yesterday public voting was 62.1% ..so much margin further than Carrie 37.9% of public voting.
