  • To Think And Hold My Peace
    Tuesday, December 26 / 22:47
    "You must never feel bad about making mistakes. As long as you take the trouble to learn from them. For you often learn more by being wrong for the right reasons than you do by being right for the wrong reasons."


    And so, I had to read the above 3 times before I could finally get a full grasp of its meaning. The only real mistake is the one in which we learn nothing from. How it brings pain and regret not to us only, but the people we hold dearly to our hearts.

    As I looked back, oh boy I had stumbled a few times. Instead of passing these pebbles, I stumbled yet again. Till now, I'm not sure whether I can forgive myself for that. But at heart I know God is forgiving. Self errors made both intentionally and unintentionally, all I can say is that every man has his follies and that his mistakes are volitional and are the portals of discovery. This totally explained to why curiosity killed the cat

    When I see you standing there, watching over me.
    And all I can do is try

    Often we can achieve an even better result when we stumble yet are willing to start over. Meaning rebuilding that Lego blocks again when it crumbled down earlier. When we don't give up after a mistake. When something doesn't come easily but we throw ourselves into trying. When we're not afraid to appear less than perfectly polished. By prizing heartfulness above faultlessness, we may reap more from our effort because we’re more likely to be changed by it. We learn and grow and are transformed not so much by what we do but by why and how we do it. If that is so, you let your heart do it's 'thing', how abt the people around you you have affected as much as they affect you? Too complicated; in short what about the people whom you have impinged on?

    I admit I had carelessly handled them before, not once. And in due course, I even lost some of them. To dwell I no longer will and to be pacified I had never wished, for if one dream should fall and break into a thousand pieces, never be afraid to pick one of those pieces up and begin again.

    I may have lost one, but I haven't loose everything.
    The strongest of all warriors are these two: Time and Patience.

    As wet and chilly December might get, the spirit of love and giving never dies. It's Christmas! Somehow this year, I was involved in exchanging of gifts. Rather sweet as you could the bleam in everyone's faces when receiving the gifts. And so, have a super happy funtime Christmas!

    I hate when reality slaps me in the face. What the heck am I saying, you cant change anything that's real. Unless you're God. 2007 is nearing, and I dont wana grow old. I look so young (dont put me in the sec sch category please), I wanna feel and be young. Still, there's another year before I hit the big 20. I've grown alot, and I'm loving the person I am today. Three cheers to a rocking Dayana!

    I want to be your geek chic.

    Work was routinised as usual. I just cant wait for the Christmas sale to end really. I tend to flare up easily during this period. So uncivilised customers, dont mess with me. I loathe cashiering during this period, I wont elaborate further.

    As I strolled home today with 987fm in my ears, I started to have running thoughts in my mind. First is that I dont really enjoy the way my life is going on right now, but I pulling through just to make it work. It got me thinking, not all things will go the way I want. Like duhh. How about those who had things going their way? Is it all fair that they are contented as things are just going their way? What extra supernatural powers do they have to attain such things? I'm just unhappy to see people who dont deserve it, that's about it.

    In the train, I was staring at this woman's Papillios. I forgot. *smiles widely*

    Afro's entry had me grinning to myself. First, I miss PB time with Raggie and Charmaine. And Wentworth Miller is definitely TV's sexiest man, look at the amount of pics she uploaded. And yes Rafi is my friend, how cute. Schoolmates who just stare at each other in school. And who the hell is Boson?

    I cant stand the sale that is going around. I intend to safekeep my money, but I cant even trust myself now. I mean come on la, who can say no to bargains? However, even if I wana shop a good advice is to go on a weekday night. Avoid myself from the bafoons who behave as if sales happened only when the sun and moon meets. You know what I mean. This reminds me of colleague Maurice saying, "Sometimes I want to change my nationality."

    Timecheck: 1.42am
    It's raining again people.

    The girl who raid her boyfriend's wadrobe.

    Being hurt and getting your heart broken suck big time. A time to cry, and be all emo. Been there done that. When you do have people doing that to you, will you do it to other people? Let's jsut put it this way. I treat people the way I want them to treat me, so be nice.

    I love myself, really.

    Good Food
    Thursday, December 21 / 22:54
    Tomorrow is a Friday and I can wear jeans! Like how random is that, but really I miss being denim-fied. Even Raggie thought I changed my look. No, it's just that the ensemble is temporary.

    The week is almost ending, so how did mine went? Let's just nothing interesting happened that made me laugh till I fart. Nevertheless, I pulled my hair and cursed alot.

    However, I stuffed myself with good food today though and I feel rounder. Ok breakfast was just awsome cold Milo, definitely perked me up. Lunch-kaki Kethy and I had Delifrance, so musch for us planning to have a light lunch. And Dinner was with the Misfits at Secret Recipe! But unfortunately we didnt order any cakes, our meal, chats and constant laughters made us full. And if you think that was it, no. On my way home, I popped by Delifrance again. I bought a Cherry Truffle and Coffee Eclair. Still, eclairs from Beard Papa the best!


    Afro just had to dig in first, she didnt touch the veggie at all

    Raggie's fish and chips, her blue nails had a cameo

    Rosa literally smelt like lemon after squizzing it

    And that's mine, awesome cheese and mushroom sauce

    That's it, I'm done
    Let's just play the game of pretend

    Very random thoughts. Amy Lee of Evenascense, she's so plump now. The weather now, oh so chilly and cool. I miss being lazy again. My Cherry Truffle is in the fridge, look at time. I feel guilty of savouring it now. I dont understand why the mother is bugging me to use up th$20 NTUC voucher. I mean, I'd rather she used it on her groceries. The Bodyshop orgasmic-smelling lotion has been on the shelf for a week untouched. The reason; I dont know how to undo the cap so I cant use it. I'm such a loser.

    I'm blessed to have the people around me love me. I know I dont have to be in love, to be loved.

    God bless, have a great weekend. Posted by Picasa

    Bright And Early
    Saturday, December 16 / 08:51
    Time check: 8.43am
    WTF am I doing up so early in the morning for the fact that I'm not such a morning girl. Here it goes. Yesterday I reached home from work at 730pm. I was dead beat. The night before I was home from Bossini at 1230am. So I intended to come to work late yesterday, so I cooked up a lie. Yes I did. And so after washing up I landed on bed, slept from 8pm till 8am; thinking I'm doing morning shift today. When suddenly the incharge called to say that I have to come only at 5pm. And that is why I'm blogging now.

    9 more weeks to go!

    My week again has been tiring like before. Calls received were all from demanding customers. I literally sweared at 1/4 of the calls. I dont really favour my supervisor, Christopher. You see, supposedly if I encountered any problems I should refer myself to a man named Damien; however his seat is like far from me or Sarah; she's right in front of me. While my seat is right in front of Christopher. So as I approached him yesterday he said, "Eh you should go to Damien." In my heart I murmured, "Ass you, would I come to you if they're available?" So he looked up from his table, seeing that neither Damien or Sarah was around he looked down and continued to assist me. You see, paiseh already. And I feel the sweetest people at UOB will be Joey and Damien, they're like angels from above to us interns.

    And now Bossini is having a Christmas sale 50% storewide. You can imagine how the store looked like and how this shopa-hooligans behave. Madness. And we are the ones who have to meet and clear their needed mess.

    Work at both UOB and Bossini have been a killer, everyday the only thing I looked forward to is my bed.

    And so he said, "Simple, your most basic needs are not met." I gave it a thought, and yes he was right. All of my grumbling this and that, boiled down to one thing which was my basic needs. Time, family and friends. How sometimes it surprises me that I need the help from others to undertstand my own situation, and even worst from someone unexpected. Looking at it, I'm trying to get all of it met. Alot of wishing and hoping was done during this process, but I know it's hard for most of it to come to reality. Afro mentioned in her blog "No matter how much you run away from something, you'll never realise that you are not running away from it but running faster and faster towards it." Rang my bell abit there. How many times you want to run away from something so much, but in fact you're yearning to run towards it instead? A situation where everybody hates, a pithole where no one wants to fall into. So what, take a walk then? Lame.

    I want Britney to release a heart popping album again. Where is Alicia and Usher? I think Get Cape Wear Cape Fly has awesome songs. We should support local bands such as Electrico and West Grand Boulevard, as they can actually play and sing! I miss PB times with Raggie and Charmaine, what happened in Prison Break anw? The following was very random.

    I'm missing the finer things in life
    Coz in my mind I still think and feel that I got you

    And I just remembered Ramesh is leaving for Melbourne today, my blessings goes all to him. Nadia will be leaving on Tuesday if I remember clearly. And I dont know when Mirah will return from KL. It's the holidays!

    The year is coming to an end people.

    Charlene: Pls, dont drop my water face. You made me sound like one crazy woman. Haha!

    Fiz: So flattering la, you all missed me. More of the my laughter and uncontrabble nonsense right? Still, you all are missed to. And I miss sch's cheap food FYI. =)

    Afro: No surprises lesbian lover, you never fail to miss me.

    Bombom: Yes hopre to see you soon too!

    Xueli: Again, another note I'm missed. I'm coping well my dear, struggling yet surviving. I just cant wait for classical, when we all get to meet again.

    Lifa: If you feel fatter what abt me, I certainly hv gained weight. Chubbily cute. Hahaha!!!

    I seriously feel like the looserly beetle bug who gotta fly off for 10weeks, while my other bugging friends get to bug each other. Whatever that means, get the point.

    Dido has a rocking voice, and rocking songs too. Remember her cameo in Eminem's Stan?

    I'm So Black
    / 21:09
    After reading Afro's entry which can be found at Xueli's, I thought to myself as to whether I fall into that category. It's just a colour, but does it truely depict such a deep meaning? So ask yourself, does your fav colour tells others of who and what you are? Or perhaps, it's just pure coincidence.

    I answered 105 calls today. To sum it all up, Mr Ramanathan (the one who spelt his name as Russia, America, Manila etc) hates me. He said that I was blind to my system and that I couldn't read figures. I gladly gave him my name; I even spelt it out, so he won't have to speak to me again.

    After afew days of isolation from the current affairs, I finally got the energy and chance to flip through the papers today. An article caught my attention and I wanted to blog abt it. However, Fhan did just that. A direct translation. To the Malay readers, do flip through Berita Harian Pg 1o. Still one is still entitled to his or her own opinions. And I couldn't agree less with the writer of this article, whereby we are at an age still finding the direction in life. We think we already know what we want, but we actually don't. As such, I believe that I won't have to search for love it will come searching for me. =) =) =)

    My journeys to and from work are always accompanied by 987fm. My morning chuckles are sponsored by the Muttons and my afternoon eyenbrow-raisers are contributed by Dan&Yang. However, as soon as I stepped into my doorstep I concuded for the day that I was sick of love songs. Like seriously, they aired more love songs than ever. In the list included:
    1. Never Be Lonely by The Feeling (it's a song I don't agree to)
    2. Be Without You by Marie J Blige (a true classic, she's nominated for 8 Grammies btw)
    3. Walk Away by Paula Deanda (it's a new hit so check it out)
    4. No Promises by Shane Ward (I love the tune la)
    And others which I don't know the title. Is it bcoz today's a Monday, and in conjunction with the Monday Blues they aired more of the slower steamier songs. I did sing along to some of it(not aloud of coz), but at the end of it when I expect a catchier song another slow introduction came about.

    Some things are better left unsaid, and it's best that way

    I so called destress today by watching Happy Feet, thank you. Hilarious movie, cutely groovy at the same time. Talking abt groovy, go listen to Wind It Up by Gwen Stefanie. I can't stop bobbing my head; read again it's bobbing not moving from side to side like the Indian in me.

    Breakups, we loathe them. But let's look at this in the celebrity context, more happening la. After Golden couple Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt abruptly divorced last year, I realised that when it comes to celebrity couple anything could happen. Adding to what Fizah has mentioned, this was defintely a year of celebrity break ups. But this one was a superfyingly shocker for me. (still I was slow in getting the news)

    Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
    Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
    In October, the couple of three years denied breakup rumors. That month, they were spotted looking lovey-dovey strolling hand-in-hand in Toronto where Bilson was shooting the sci-fi drama Jumper. Yet that romantic scene wasn't an indication that they were still together, says the source: "Exes do hang out."

    My Weekends
    Saturday, December 9 / 12:24
    It's the weekend and I'm only getting afew hours more of sleep. These are the times when I wished I owned an Osim chair. I'm heading off to Bossini soon, it's a weekend and it's a Christmas sale. Which certainly means CHAOS. I shall not elaborate further.

    Yesterday marked the end of my first day at UOB, so far I'm coping well. The pressure is there but I know I can make it. =)

    I shall say it again, I have been very tired lately.

    How wrong can assumptions and predictions be? It's very wrong to many, but to some it's allright so as to prevent any negative reprecussions later. In my opinion, it's not good to be making unbased judgements as what you see may not be what you get. I certainly have made mistakes in my life, seeings things only in my eyes and not the eyes of others. That is when I think I'm right, but actually not. However, there were incidents whereby I easily made assumptions like how easily I could finish 2 chocolate bars at one go. Suprisingly, I was proven right at afew of it. So what does this tells you? One thing is that we are not fourtune tellers or psychic beings; they claimed they can see things. Thus the word expect has two meanings to it; to wait for and to imagine. So to wait and anticipate taught me that it's way more of a sensible approach than to imagine and guess. You see, a person of a right mind would do that. But still... You see, there always the 'but stills'.


    If there's nothing you can give me, then don't speak

    I'm craving for Pizza Hut badly, and the mother has not prepared lunch. That completely shoes how hungry I am.

    Talking about food, coffee has been a daily necessity for me since I started working at UOB. Like seriously, I canhave up to 5 cups of coffee per day. Thanks to the free vending machine. I realised it on Day 4, however I can't seem to stop. And I know to much coffee is bad for me. Adding to that, I frequently visit Starbucks so yea more coffee. Pressue and stress makes me a food junkie, so someone please make me laugh.

    Till then, God bless and enjoy your weekends

    If you think it's just a feeling, go back ang look again
    Avoidance is really bliss

    Proper updates now!

    I've never felt so corporate, certainly it's because I'm attached at UOB now. Terrifying stories I heard from Lifa, but thankfully I'm not under the credit cards session. A very intensive, a rush of information overloaded. I literally dragged myself there, the fact that I won't see school for a freaking 11 weeks and of coz away from the lovely misfits. I miss them misfits, all who knows I'm a great farter. Yes Afro, you sound like a love sick lover. I took afew calls today, it was definitely nerve wrecking. Working in a bank, there's alot of behind-the-scenes involve, secrecy act etc. I always tell myself, "It's a bank, I can be jailed."

    One of my mates broke down today, she had to handle other calls too and that she's going for training for another week next week. I totally feel her.

    Some things great to look forward to at UOB:
    Awesome view from the 21st storey, free drinks from a vending machine, free soup from a vending machine, resting and cookie corner. That's abt it.

    Self-mugging over at Esplanade library 2 days back helped me alot, I passed my first test. Took a second test today, my hunch says I'm only getting a fair. Pretty much thanks to the huge chocolato-orgasmic icecream I had with Nadia yesterday. You should see how she caught her icecream ball. Moving on, I'm taking calls on my own tmrw. My legs would shake alot whenever I await a call. I mean, my product knowledge is not 100% there. So get the idea. My trainer told me, your a customer service officer not a an operator. For a moment I was like WTF.

    My journey to work on Tuesday was a dreadful one, someone just had to commit suicide during peak hours. Still, rest in peace.

    Yours truly's days had not been that bright and happening the past few days. You can call it anything you want, a time to be emo. Ha. And yes girl, perhaps I tested myself too much that it crossed the line without me noticing it. I cried, and had staring-blankly sessions alot. That equals to just gazing into mid air. Physically, I'm certainly in need of a well deserved beauty sleep and a massage would be great. The thought of juggling so many things. Hey no need think, I'm already doing that. Dont be surprised as I'm slowly turning into Wonderwoman. Somehow sometimes people around me succeed in affecting me, this rarely happens but yea it did. How about the times you sit down talk and suddenly start weeping. Everyone's been there done that. It happens even to the strongest God created creatures on this earth. But sooner or later, I have to pick myself up if not when? No one's gonna continue buying me Kleenex tissue. Nevertheless, I am truly thankful that there are still who listen. "No one owes me my happiness, I take charge it" . FYI, I'm so over with Monday Blues. Purely coincidental.

    "Should I?"
    You never fail to be there

    Tmrw's a Friday but there's nothing for me to look forward at. Wadrobe malfunction, clothes that can and cant be worn. Tell me, be that hot slick office lady in black or that sweet flower feminine secretary?

    Your Shoulder Please
    / 01:19
    Hello December, make me smile like never before.

    No one knows how tired I am but myself. Sleep deprivation is one thing, the repercussions are another. In times like this I tend to dream, wish and hope alot. Don't you? What can I say when the body gives way, the mind takes control. In case some of you are wondering why am I still up, I'm doing my TEP report. I regret the times I idled around.

    The way she looked at me, she wouldnt want to see me like that.

    The irony of you telling yourself not to do this and that, but in the end you still do it. It happens to all of us. And so, how do we avoid it? I asked myself that and the only answer I could come out with was naivety. Stubborness is a plus point. I always tell myself not to cross the comfort zone, but I'm afraid I am. I lack of something, but I don't intend to use it to make up for what I lacked. I'm sorry if things has to be this way, gradually I wish for it stop. You made me like this and I dont blame you for that.

    Secretly, no. I dont want to, God help me.

    Tell me, who else can it be?

    So Much

    I'm selected to go UOB, what can I say more?
    I should've listened to Raggie, run naked and screamed as if I'm from IMH during the interview

    Somehow I find myself rushing to do so many things

    Don't get too comfortable or we'll fall into that pit again
    When Andy asked me, "How have you been, naughty or nice?"

    I'm afraid you gave everyone that impression, so take a chill pill

    Md Farhan, do rest and get well soon

    Charlene: Hey Raymond's daughter, thanks for making BSU an enjoyable stopover. We nvr fail to entertain each others' nonsense. You badly want CSC, if only we could trade places. Till then, happy TEP-ing!

    Afro: Hey lesbian love, you know I'll miss you too and the rest. No I love the way I can make you look worried. Hahaha. And Keling Killahs rocks.

    Seri: Yoyo I had truckloads of fun as well. The attire wasn't proper, but still we sweat it all off glamorously well. It was definitrly nice!

    Pretty one: Thank you, this is just starters. A pastime. I'm still new and needs direction.
