Brewing Wedding Season

Oh my... the wedding season is brewing again...

just got an email from Uni volunteer friend that she is holding her wedding dinner on 19 Dec... One of my good friend, leng, is ROM-ing on the same day... Sec Sch friend, Min min, just got ROM then serene... next year is xiu...

Has that situation come to me yet? The situation where I just get red bombs every year...

Leng was just asking me if I wanna help her with her wedding i.e. weddng planner... Yes! I want to... Hmm... probably i can make that into my sub-career.. free lancing...

but then hor.. wait i end up just doing wedding for others and not for myself... Muahahahahaa!

anyways i better not 害人害己！

Heart-warming message

"Bzzz..."

The vibration from my mobile phone woke me up from my usual bus-ride sleep to work. It was a message from one of my tuition kid whom I used to volunteer in the past. She went into "disappearing" act shortly after our 3rd tuition this year.. Anyway I also kinda gave up hope on her though.. But we still msn once in a while when we see each other online.

So this morning, she actually messaged me to tell me that she got A1 for her maths prelim. I just felt so happy for her especially when she wasnt that good in her maths when I first taught her.. Although am no longer coaching her, I felt glad for her that she is showing some results.. But she only passed 3 papers and flunked the rest of her papers.. (*LOL*)

Ah well, so long she can keep up the good work and work harder, I believe she can do well for her N level this year! We had a pact that I will treat her to Fish & Co. should she pass her exams with 7pts for L1R4.. Am looking forward to give her the treat!

I supposed anyone who has done tuitioning before would be able to share my sense of happiness.. =D

Yeah.. I am going to WOMAD this Sat! Hip-hip Hooray!

Be Adventurous!

WOMAD 2005 is coming back again this weekend!!! I wanna go... looking for ka-kis to go... to enjoy the night, the music, the crowd, the beers - EVERYTHING.... basically is to do something different and afterall, we only get this kind of music festival once a year, isnt it?

The last time I went, we had red wine and beer with my bunch of ex-colleagues.. we were crazy drinking, eating, dancing away! So was hoping to go again this year to do picnic...

However when I asked my friends, they arent that enthusiatic as I am... cos firstly, they have not been to this kind of event... ok, they arent that arty-farty as i am... (i am not that arty-farty as well... but i like this kind of event)...

Anyway they hesitated... not sure if they wanna go... feeling that they arent adventurous to try something new...

i agree that not everyone would like this kind of event but how would you know if you dont even wanna give it a try? Why restrict yourself in a comfort zone of playing mahjong every weekend? and I think I getting sick of playing mahjong (once in a while - ok)... Somehow feels that there are better things to do or try out...

Sigh! Anyway I cant force people to do what I am doing... Crossing my fingers that I'll get to go WOMAD with someone this weekend~

Shivering Cold

I am shivering cold.. i am cold not because of the drop in the environmental temperature nor am I having fever... but emotionally... an invisible bucket of cold water was splashed all over me..

it certainly didnt make you feel good that after much efforts and consideration put in, the decision you have made did not seem to get the support you wanted most.. Isnt a friend supposed to be by your side despite that you have made the wrong choice? Others may say " a friend is there to prevent you from making the wrong choice". But doesnt we lead our own lives and make our decisions?

Perhaps till you read to this point, you might say "since we lead our lives and choices, why bother what others say?" But when making a difficult choice ahead, it is always comforting to know that what ever right or wrong choice you make, he/she is always there for you... Lend you a shoulder when you need it and lend you a hand to help you stand up..

That's what friends are for

New Changes, New Look - New Future (i hope)

Yup! I have changed... I have changed my blog-look! All thanks to Xiu who taught me how to. Haha.. Though it is not entirely perfect yet cos of a bit glitches here and there...

Nevertheless, it is my 1st attempt! I think it is quite cool, what do you think? Ha ah - keep your comments to yourself.. =P

Well, for those who know that I was facing with a bit of dilemma a week before for my job, i think I have made a decision. To be honest, I am still not quite sure if that is the right choice i made but I am just following my heart.. A friend messaged me over msn on Sunday night after seeing my nick... He said "making a decision is not at all difficult but the fear of making the wrong choice" - True..

What keeps you going in a job? The $ or the passion? After much thoughts, i think i am a passion-driven person. I need to have a minimum degree of the passion i have in a particular job and the ambitious me would wanna do "big". So even if the job doesn't pay well, let's hope the passion keeps me going..

*sniffing.. sneezing.. blowing.. away!*

sentence of the day...

i came across this website recommended by my "good" brother and being a naughty and mischievous girl, i went to sign up to be a member. Uploaded my photo and regretted it... i got so many emails that i can hardly clear them... then just thinking, how many of them responded cos they saw my photo...? I wasnt particularly looking for anyone but just for the fun of it...

Anyway when i was reading through their profile, then when i saw "looking for someone stable to settle down", i kinda feel panicky... hahaha... and most of them didnt make it to next round... hahahaa...

dont ask me why but i just suddenly feel this pressure on me... i might be thinking too far ahead but when i see that, i back off.. cos i dunno if i can settle down... i dont want to waste other people's time...

surprisingly to hear that from me eh...

i also dunno why... oh well...

*~*

i was busy with the closing ceremony for my project for the past 1 week and hence neglected my blog. But that doesn't mean I have also stopped getting inspirations for my blog. Thus fore-warning: this entry is going to be super long...

Due to my work nature, I came across this book Tangerine written by Colin Cheong 10 years ago. This is somewhat a fiction travel-log. It goes to talk about a photo journalist guy, Nick who goes on a journey in Vietnam - phyiscal and emotional.. Though it might not be an easy read (cos I took 2x to read), but it is an engaging 1 cos you feel that you can connect with what he wrote in the book.. reflecting the Singaporean life and perspectives..

1 particular paragraph talks about 5 C that girls are going after when comes to getting bfs/husbands 10 years ago. I think this still very much applies now, just that the situation has changed. I remembered one of the conversations that I had with my gfs. Out of the 6 of us, 3 have a car and when comes to considering for a bf, they would look for one that has car and it must be preferrably one more ex than their.. this signifies the social status i guess... So there goes!

Got an email from a friend "pushing" me to go for classes and seminars.. Somehow I just wanna ignore that email.. I know she meant well for me but i feel that she is pushing my "limit".. I just wanna to feel laid back cos am feeling tired.. lazy - whatever you say... Then i was thinking even i get into it, I wont have time for it... bcos i find that when I see her nowadays, i seems to slowly disconnect her as a friend but rather a business partner.. I dunnoe if that's a good thing.. sigh! oh well...

I know she will read this entry but i hope she wont be offended...
