today's the day.. finally.. our rom day.. or rather, nite.. as we r having a small dinner of 2 tables..

everyone's asking me "how do you feel? excited? must be really nervous hor?"

well, to tell the truth.. i dun realli feel so excited.. or nervous.. happy yes of cuz very very happy.. and mabe a little worried.. abt things like will it all go smoothly? will everyone like the dinner? is 2 tables enuff or will my relatives find it too little? hopw my MA won't make my make up too exaggerating.. things lidat..

and it doesnt help that i am having diarrhea.. argh.. i dunno wad i ate wrong this time.. realli realli bad ls.. mabe my stomach is trying its last futile attempt to reduce my tummy size.. lolz..

now i'm juz at home.. playing restaurant city on cm's account (cuz he hacked mine until negative points.. and i cant play it anymore..).. and wondering if i shd tidy my room so that i wont be embarrased when the MA comes in later.. lolz..

cm's back for a few days aleadi! but.. unexpectedly.. his grandma passed away.. and dats y he is still busy even after his holiday.. i haf also went to the wake for the past 2 days.. ok mabe it wasnt unexpected.. she has been at the hospital for the past few weeks.. so not that unexpected..

he has also started his RT.. he came back on Sat, 11pm.. RT on Sun 8am aleadi.. realli almost immediately.. cuz if he dun start soon he wun make it in time b4 he leaves for aussie.. today oso RT..

but no matter wad, i am juz glad that he is back now. absence does realli make the hearts fonder. but i think absence is too hard to endure. cuz after being together so for long, it is realli weird dat suddenly there's no one to reply u. felt kind of empty. i guess if my sis was ard i wld feel better.. but she's also not ard.. and at home there's onli me n my mum.. my mum is.. u know, mum. its different. she's been here forever.. haha..

anyway, hope everything goes well from now on..

sigh today is boring.. juz another day at work.. smthg dramatic did happen at work tho.. some ex-staff who was unhappy n went to mp to write letter to complain to moe. we r guessing he dun wan to pay the money for breaking bond la.. haha.. well.. like my OM says, it's things like these that makes life interesting.. haha..

and i am counting down to my last day (tentative)~ 4 more weeks to go~~~ i hope my p can pls quickly find a new AM.. or my last day won't really be my last.. i dun mind gg back to help la.. but it would be so awkward.. like u told everybody that last week was ur last day then suddenly u r back at work. it will be like u cant bear to leave! haha.. but actuali i cant wait to leave.. i want to visit everyone! but i dun wan the work =p

argh.. i am going crazy.. i suddenly realise that i must have talked a lot to cm normally, cuz now dat he's not ard and the international call is so freaking expensive, i am having conversations with myself in my own head! sometimes i even imagine how cm would have responded to me! omg... gg crazy...

okok stop this crap le.. tml still got meeting and i need to take minutes.. sigh i hate being minute taker.. zzzz...

as i log into blogger from my work desk.. i am suddenly reminded of a dilbert's comic. He was sitting in his cubicle, flicking his hands and thinking "I am sitting here doing nothing but flicking my hands! And I'm getting paid for it!" Then he makes a happy silent "Yes!". Lolz..

pretty much like wad i am doing now.. BUT it's DIFFERENT! i am not doing nthg.. i am juz taking a 5 minutes break! I am so sick of my work and so sick of all those crazy ppl! AhhhHHhhh!

but nontheless, i am getting paid.. oops i feel a bit guilty lo... =p

sigh abt 98% of me is wishing that i can leave my job asap. but a tiny 2% of me is saying that i'm gonna miss my CSOs.. sigh. i know how it is gonna be again.. all the "Keep in touch!" and "We'll sms you!" will in the end fade away into nothingness... perhaps next yr if i'm having a wedding dinner, they will still attend. but after that.. hmm i think we will juz stop talking altogether.. i realli hope that they will get a better and nicer boss than me. well maybe it's hard to get a nicer one cuz i am so nice! hahaha! (but i really am! i buy their bday presents and create personalised bday cards!) XD

ok i have to stop liao. my five minutes of break is over.

like i can still concentrate on my work.. zzzz... pls let it be 5.30pm soon..

omg.. is it onli wednesday? well onli 3 more days left.. shd be ok..

now i can tell ppl i have been in LDR before.. HAHAHA..

anyway, sudden change of topic.. if i can have a wish come true, i would wish for every person to be able to find his/her happiness. Of course the happiness must be of a good-natured kind! some ppl derive happiness thru some really psycho ways.. some crazy ones even derive happiness by killing ppl.. if these kind of ppl find their happiness, the whole world will die lo (but all will die happily of cuz, since my wish came true.. hahaha omg it doesnt make sense) ..

anyway, supposedly everyone's wishes were of a good-natured, harmless kind of wishes, i realli hope dat everyone can have their wishes come true.. dat way, wont this world be realli nice to live in? everyone around you will be happy.. there will be no more fighting! no more hunger! no more poverty! everyone will be millionaires!!! i only worry abt abalones and geeses becoming extinct, since everyone will be wanting to eat abalones and foie gras once they are rich.. lolz..

but i realli feel tt humans are too smart for our own good.. why cant we be more simple minded? why cant our personalities be more straightforward? why cant our desires be plainer? why cant our lives be uncomplicated? why do we worry abt consequenses?

when i think of these questions, i suddenly realise that the answers can be "yes" to all of the above..

can i be more simple minded? Yes
can my personality be more straightforward? Yes
can i have plainer desires? yes..
can my life be uncomplicated? yes..
can i stop worrying abt the consequences? Yes!

it's all a matter of choices.. you are who you choose to be.. =)

Had a slight fever on Sunday and yesterday.. and recently all the hype of swine flu made me a bit nervous, although my temperature was always below the trigger temp for swine flu, so i shouldnt have to worry..

anyway, i searched online for quite a bit of information regarding flu symptoms.. one thing i couldnt understand was why would the body ache? I vaguely remember that the aching shows that the body is resisting the virus or smthg.. but i cant be sure..

What I found:

While influenza is a virus that specifically targets the respiratory tract, it does have an impact on the total body causing fatigue, fever, and muscle and joint aches.

Joint aches occur from a form of mild arthritis that occurs with influenza. There are over 100 causes of arthritis, and a viral origin is one of these causes. In arthritis related to viral infections, immune complexes that form as a result of the body's attempt to rid itself of the virus, may be deposited in the joints and result in a temporary arthritis. In this case, the virus itself does not settle in the cells, rather the body's own immune response to the virus causes the joint achiness. Once the virus is gone, the body's immune response settles down.

In general, arthritis resulting from a viral infection such as influenza:
- Generally affects joints throughout the body
- Often felt as joint achiness, rather than joint swelling, redness or tenderness
- Usually accompanied by a mild fever
- Often begins gradually following viral infection
- Not cured by antibiotics; usually goes away on its own

After reading I realised that it's probably true, most of the aching happened around the joints.. damn painful on Sun. but by ytd i was alr recovering, and the aches were not that bad alr too. luckily i didnt go and see a doc.. since it couldnt be cured by antibiotics anyway.. haha..

i changed my blogskin again...! had the tsubasa blogskin onli for a few days.. it was realli realli cool but i think this suits me better. hahaha..

ytd went out with cuimei n xing.. we went to xiang3 shou4 while our "hubbies" are not ard hahaha. we went far east to do pedi and mani.. quite a good deal.. but my pedi aleadi has one crack on a toe (due to wallking in heels.. xing was smart, she wore flats..) and my mani now has scratches and holes aleadi. haha.. well nvm, at least i enjoyed the process of being scrubbed and trimmed and pampered =)

after dat we went to Palai Renassian (or smthg, cant spell it rite.. it's opp far east, not the shopping one) for dinner at the restaurant at the basement.. xm brought me n zy there recently.. and since i remembered it was quite nice, i recommend to them.. but in the end.. our food took ages to come lo.. like 45mins? i had to ask the waiter to check on our food.. in the end they oso paiseh and gave us a complimentary dessert.. aiya but the food was nice and their service was quite good. apologise a few times somemore.. so i guess it is still a good place to go to =)


i had the grilled red snapper.. i love the cherry tomatoes.. they were slightly grilled too! yummy..

so we juz sat there.. chatted for quite long.. even after we had finished our dinner.. and the dessert.. realli nice to hang out with girls! i think i miss having these girls outing and doing girly stuff =D yea i guess cm would accompany me to do pedi mani too, but he won't be discussing colours with me! and when we are shopping, every thing that i tried on he would say it "looks nice".. so, it's good to have a girl's opinion sometimes hahaha..

my pedi-ed toes.. with the ugly crack *bleah*
as for today.. i read a book.. the Confessions of a Shopaholic.. i love the shopaholic series..even b4 the movie came out.. in fact, i have a tshirt that says Shopaholic in pink! haha.. anyway, it's a gift from cm. Its supposed to keep me company while he's gone. but i read it in like.. 3 hrs? chick lits are nice in that way.. easy and entertaining and funny.. kind of like watching a movie.. haha.. and no matter how some ppl may think those books are brainless, i realli enjoyed them =p this series anyway. and the ones by marian keyes.

after reading, i went with my mum to causeway pt to have dinner.. today's mother's day, but onli me at home with her, so dinner oso juz us lo.. haha.. ate at Lerk Thai at the civics centre.. dun think she realli like it.. but i think she was happy to be out anyway. =)

tomorrow's monday again.. i am having a slight sore throat and cough today.. slightly feverish now too.. i hope it doesnt turn into something nasty.. dun want to waste money visiting a doctor again.. -___-

cm has gone off to tw for a holiday with his family.. for a whole week! coming back onli next sat, at almost midnite! so envious.. at the same time, i'm gonna miss him so much.. =( u better buy me lots of presents ah!

it is realli weird to be separated for so long.. yea one week is not long at all la, but then, it's the longest we've been apart from each other so far..! i guess in the future, there will definitely be more occasions where either one of us will be away for some time, such as reservists etc.. so i better get used to it! haha..

also... it's already May! My sis is coming back on 25th~ and soon after, The Day will arrive! we will finally be legal! haha..

i am really very happy and excited abt it.. kinda freaky even.. u know, my work really sucks, and i get really sian at work.. sometimes, juz sometimes i get so frustrated i even cry in the office toilet. but when i think abt this, i will feel some sort of energy taking over me, and a smile will somehow appear on my face w/o me realising! freaky rite?

i think it's because i fully understand how difficult it is to find someone who reciprocates your love, and loves you unconditionally.

in fact, i'm really proud of him! i know it seems weird. wad do u mean by proud?? ok, maybe proud is wrong, i mean pride. erm sounds weird too.. u know.. it's like..

i always complain that my bags are not nice even tho cm thinks i have enough bags alreadi, or i complain my hair is uglier than my friends, or they are slimmer than me, etc etc etc

but i think that my bf is the best in the world! =D

ok ok i admit, i sometimes will complain to him that my other girlfrens' bfs are better than him cuz they r more romantic than him, they buy more gifts, blah blah blah.
but i know i will nv trade him for anybody else. and somehow, it gives me some sort of pride.

就好像石欣卉唱的歌一样:

我给的拥抱 你要收好
你给的依靠 我放不掉
你给的微笑 还在嘴角
我的骄傲 是你的好
我想回抱 你别转身走掉

这首歌是悲伤的,但听到这几句歌词时,我竟然感到共鸣,也感受到缓缓的一丝暖意。 嘿? 唱着唱着, 我嘴边也不知觉地浮起了微笑。 怪别扭的! 歌那么伤感,唱的人竟然会越唱越开心!

哈哈!我想回抱, 你别转身走掉! 要不然,就要你好看! XD

-sigh- can u come back alreadi??
