Six months in Toronto

Seems like yesterday, even tho it was 2 yrs ago, that I left for Brizzy. I still remember the send off from my family and frens alike. Feeling nostalgic, u mite say, but tonite was the feeling for me; coz this time, it's my sister who's getting the send off, to Toronto. Shez goin there for a foreign exchange program for 1 sem, before comin back. I was going through the same wave of emotions she did when she sent me off 2 yrs ago. This time it was my turn, teary-eyed with a lump in my throat and a heavy heart.

Dear Lord, I pray that You'll bless her with journey mercies as she takes the long flight to Toronto, and I pray You'll keep her safe in once she's there, the same way You have kept me safe when I was in Brisbane for 2 years. In Jesus's name I pray, Amen.

Six more months, my dear sister, and you'll be back.

Still here!!

Yeh folks im still here......juz havent been updating for awhile. Just a little update.

1. Uni reunion
Originally, the reunion was for Jess when she came back 4 a 2 wk break. Last minute she had to stay home 4 dinner. So the main star was not ard. Still ok tho. Got the chance to catch up wif da others: Mich, Jojo, Sam & PJ.

2. Wedding No.3
Another cousin of mine is married. This time round he from my mum's side. Had to rush from office to attend his dinner coz it was on a friday. But for someone who has watched me grow up from young, I wldnt miss his dinner for anything.

3. Wedding No. 4
This one took place 9 days after my cousin's wedding. This one is my poly classmate. Food was rather average, but still an enjoyable nite.

4. Staff Chalet
This one took place during Hari Raya. First time I actually had a company event for staff members only.

And im still gymming around, working in the office, blah blah blah.....

Til next time....

The busiest month ever!!!!!

Work.

Datz the one word that has been keeping me sooooooo bz, I spent my b'day in the office. Never happened b4. But for some reason, it doesnt phase me one bit. Eventually I did spend dinner wif my family, but even then I wasnt anticipating anything. It was juz another day for me. Man, wat a turn around. Datz how work has affected me.

Nonetheless, I managed to get all my stuff outta way, at least now I have some breathing room to relax a bit, dat is b4 the next mth of reporting begins.

In between, had some highlights. First, my best fren's wedding and dinner. Had the honour of being the MC for his wedding dinner. Truly a nite I will never forget.

Then, WWE!!! And to be honest, I think this event was better than the one in Auzzie. Why? For the simple fact dat they didnt announce the card on their website, which is good coz no one wld know who is facing who. It was incredible, seeing superstars like Ric Flair, Batista, Kane, Great Khali, Finlay, Chris Masters, Elijah Burke and others live and in person. But wat surprised me even more was how popular WWE is in Singapore. I went to the Singapore Indoor Stadium abt 90 mins b4 showtime and the long queues were already lining up. Unbelievable!

Alrite datz it for now. I'll leave you with some pics from both events, as well as another vid from the band Default (I'm starting to like this band).

Group Shot After The Dinner

Random thots.....

Well, itz been awhile since i really write any real updates, so i thot i juz write in a few random thots goin thru me head...

My best fren's gettin married!!! Very fast. We've all grown up so fast. And i'm still single. Hold up, i'm not jealous. No girl wants me, so wat to do? Anywayz, I'm really happy for him now dat he found the one girl he will spend the rest of his life with. Gonna be a real bz wkend.

My fren juz resigned from her job, or rather she tendered her resignation. Had a conversation wif her over the phone. She sounded really tired over her work and i guess she cldnt take anymore stress. I feel for her. Oh btw, she celebrated her b'day 2 wks ago. My present for her? Well it was an online present in a form of an mp3 (cheapskate i know, but it was the best i can think of on short notice). Thot it was a fitting song for her considering what shez goin thru rite now (Remember girl, you can count on me).

Speaking of b'days, MINE's juz ard the corner. I'll be 25 soon. Many birthday wishes will come to mind, but i oredi have one wish come true: The WWE is coming to Singapore!!! And i'm goin!!!! YAY!!!!!! 2 yrs ago, i went to a RAW event in Aussie, this time itz a Smackdown/ECW event. SWEET!!!

Datz all for now. I'll leave you with this vid, which is the MTV of my fren's bday present.

Updates II

Well, itz been awhile since i typed anything here. Been a real great week, starting from saturday wif my convocation. Finally, the day my family has waited so long for has come n gone. Pretty soon therez gonna be a studio pic of me in my grad gown @ my hse as well as my granny's place.

Then came monday, start of another work week......Oops, i forgot to mention, I'm workin now. Yes datz rite, finally i got a job. Anywayz, ran into a poly fren on the train in the morning, thot i saw my sec 1 classmate during lunch, b4 meeting my cuzin-in-law on the way back home.

Then therez yesterday. Highlite of the day was lunch wif my sec sch classmate; did i mention shez oso my neighbour, for 12 yrs oredi to boot. U know come to think of it, i think this is the very 1st time we ever had a meal together, so i guess it was time well spent (Thanx for the meal gal).

I've oso been reading the news paper lately abt the asian youngster who killed 33 pple in US, including himself. I'm not one to judge other pple, but i find his excuse to kill those innocent lives absolutely pathetic. Itz his own problem that he wants to remain quiet and anti-social. Itz his problem that he dun wanna take counselling. And now he wants to point the finger at other pple?? Datz bullshit!!! More like hez juz trying to get attention. Well he got attention alrite....the wrong type. And now hez dead.....

Anywayz, i'll try to update this blog site more often...

Gone zzzzzzzzzzzzz............

The heading says it all.....The biggest day of my life yet has arrived!!

Goo Goo Dolls - Better Days

And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

And it's someplace simple where we could live
And something only you can give
And thats faith and trust and peace while we're alive

And the one poor child that saved this world
And there's 10 million more who probably could
If we all just stopped and said a prayer for them

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

I wish everyone was loved tonight
And somehow stop this endless fight
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud
Cuz everyone is forgiven now

Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again
Cuz tonight's the night the world begins again

It's 2007

A Happy New Year to everyone!!! May all things prosper and yield well for you and me for this new year of 2007!!!
