The directory for a mall like vivo is extremely lousy..

see many faces in the reflection? They are all trying to take a peek at this because it's very huge & high-up.. that is why unless you're peter crouch,
try your best to tip-toe and peep from others' shoulders

I'm sure you don't know that besides the confusing lobbies, there is also a NORTH COURT. (which means a south, east and west too??) You must look up real high to see the fading sign. Btw, north court is below coffeebean -- if you know where's coffeebean.

me & that gigantic-sized of white chocolate latte

Here's my favs: Starbuck's Rumba, Coffeebean's White Chocolate. Ps: Don't ever try Rocky House's devil brew even if you are supposedly immune to caffeine (like me) or find yourself energetic all the way till 6am :X

good buys at DAISO?

read 2 books in like 5days!?! Amazed? Don't be. When you had as much 'free time' as me, I think you would have fared much better.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen:
I had this book for about 2-3 years & read only 1 chapter previously. (oh.. did I mention that the first chapter is only 3pages long? oops.) It's not that the book is boring. It's just me -- the absolute procastinator at work ):

Think everyone knows the story so I shall skip the comment. Basically, it's about how a young man changes his manners & the lady her mind.

Now I want to watch the movie.

At First Sight by Nicholas Sparks:
I always wanted to read his books, but somehow I never did. Anyway, this is the first one. I liked his style (at least in this book). There was a deja vu~ness in certain parts of the book.

Reading a book can hardly engage me. It's just difficult for me to get into a book. I think the only other time was when Iola Morton was blown up in a car explosion leaving Joe Hardy distraught and perhaps guilty. (ya I used to read The Hardy Boys.. so sue me)

This time I found myself going 'NO!! This can't be happening' & stopped reading for a while as if by not continuing, I can change the story. Well, perhaps I am giving myself a breather. Went back to the story and begin the search of WHY?

When you're prepared for the worst and can only hope for the best. Then better-than-best came the ending. Yet, the ending is not the ending. When it seem that all the anxiety had come to a nought and happiness is just a fraction away, your world comes crashing down. POOM!

In context of the book:
"While there were times when he wished he could roll back the clock and erase all the sadness, he had a hunch that if he did so, the joy would be diminished as well."

Yes, it is possible for love at first sight.

How much do I love this book?
More than the fish in the sea and higher than the moon ;)

Heh I thought it sounded so cheesy the first time but when it was mentioned a second time, I was touched.

I thought alot after closing this book. Felt like when Jeremy finally had his mental block removed. It's not like I have not been thinking. This time, the thoughts just keep coming. Neither delibrate nor by my own conscious efforts.

Woah! Never thought that books can revved me up like this. Afterall, I am more a action-feel human than a word-feel person.

Look what my itchy hands got me into!!

Yes one big mess..

Was searching for something & in the end, I took these stuffs out -- stuffs that I was given and collected over the years. There were cards, letters and tags ( nice-looking clothes labels and tickets). & these too:

Power rangers (my favourtite!! last time) cards. Amusement parks' tickets. Dragonball card from those 20c cheating machines.

A picture from my primary school scrapbook. Who needs Bond when there is

OH. vette oh.

LOL!!

A drawing that was supposedly

.ME.

HAha I always thought that penpal~ing with people you see everyday (in school) is silly since you can just talk about whatever you want directly. But I did that in primary school. Ok, so I thought, maybe is because we are still young and childlike so we do such stuffs. No. Heh because I did that in secondary school too. Why? I don't know. As I looked and read some of them, I remember certain incidents. How long ago they seem to be.

Some things from my previous church:

Look at the date. More than 4 years ago. & this verse ( message in a bottle by a friend whom I have lost contact with.. sadly:x) which is my favourite..

Just finished 2 postman question-of-the-week at the last minute. I hate datelines but I will only work if they exist. Irony.

Since I just answered soccer stuffs, I shall talk about soccer here:

YAY!! There is only a 2 point gap between Chelsea and Man U. Man U lost to West Ham (who has been under-performing and just had a new manager) & Chelsea fight back twice with 3 breath-taking goals to win Everton. Drogba's winner was such a beauty. The control. The turning. The blasting. I named it the trademark turn-and-blast goals. But I have to admit that was poor defending by Everton. Anyway, I was ecstatic by this 87th minute winner and the determination (perhaps more significantly of its sign of other things) that I got my fists thumpin' in the air and found myself making triumphant noise heh. It got my parents telling me to tone down because there's a baby (2-3 years old) next door. Sorry, neighbour. Watch soccer with me next time when you grow up.. .. ..

hypothetical questions
"If ___ & I both fell in the sea at the same time, who would you save first?"

I find such questions rather stupid (followed by questions like how are you?/ How have you been?)
There's no point in asking. Seriously, what kind of answers are you expecting? The answer will be either clear or ambiguous.

It's like.. .. ..

The illustration:
1st scenario.
Chelsea asking me "Which team would you support in a Chelsea vs Sheffield Wednesday match?"

[backdrop: I had supported Sheffield W. in my early days (of watching soccer) mainly because of the name. (ps: I do have a fetish for names. They are really important.) I believe if they didn't drop 2 divisions down immediately & I never saw them in top flight again, I would still be supporting them.

Chelsea is my favourite team. period.]

The answer is pretty obvious, right?
because supporting doesn't mean favourite. I believe every one of you out there will support Singapore when they are playing. However, they aren't necessary your favourite. YES! you finally got the point.

Sometimes, people asked hypothetical questions just to reassure themselves what they already know. However, if Sheffield W. ask me about it.. well, they are asking for it.

2nd scenario.
Chelsea asking me "Which team would you support in a Chelsea vs England match?"
One is my favourite club, the other my favourite country. Ya, they will never play against each other (it's technically impossible) & both are on different playing fields.

However, most hypotheical questions centred around these kinda choices. By asking, you are only trying to force the answer that you desired out of that person.

I can humour Chelsea and say I will support them when they ask and England if England ask. Or I can shrug it off with things like: You both are never going to play against each other. Which team will Terry, Cole & Lampard play for? blah blah..

BUT what I really will do is not to answer at all. I can't and won't answer something that hasn't happen and unless driven to the corner, I myself will never know the answer too.

*Just a random thought*

Anonymous: which pink do you think is nicer?

I told her my choice.
She seemed unconvinced & turned around and asked her young son. (about 4 years old)
His choice is the same as mine.
*beams*

Still, she hestitated which one to choose. Finally, she went with our choice. Moments later, she changed her mind.

"Hmm.. still thinking"
"Erhm but even your son say this one is nicer"
"Aiyah, he's still so young.. anyway I still like this pink better "
(Orh that means being young one doesn't know what's nice?!?)

Nice one. It's good to know what you like and to stick with your choice but definitely not at the expense of asking for fun & insulting another. Or maybe (as I have read from somewhere) most of the time, women already know what they want.. they just need a same second opinion for certainty.

Moreover, I think a child's taste is more discerning since he doesn't take into consideration the practical reasons. ( If you go shopping with someone a generation older & pick something white.. chances are they will tell you that white will get dirty easily & ask you to pick another color, preferably black,etc.)

arGH!! really hate it when people ask for opinion or participation (as if they value it) & then ignore the answer or the absence (as if it doesn't matter).. may I ask, what's the point of asking then?

finally watched happy feet after waiting for so long. Somehow, I was hugely disappointed --perhaps I expected a lot more or perhaps the phonecall during the movie had disrupted my mood from then on..

It's only been one month since A's ended. But it feels like a long time has since passed & I realised that I have not done any of the things I had intended to do.. Instead, things I never meant to happen did. (eg: working?!?)

HI Yvette,

Congrats... I've chosen your letter as Letter of the Week for its conciseness and simplicity, and well-argued points to all the parts of my question.

Cheers,
E***** (from The New Paper)

Seriously, I had more confidence in my entry last week than this week. Didn't had much feel for this topic & never put in much thought. (perhaps that's why it's simple) Anyway, so far so good. Written 3 entries so far. 2 appeared in The New Paper before & this third one won an ipod-shuffle!! (thought it was nano at first but that's for writer-of-the month) Here's the letter-of-the-week:

The Postman's Question of the Week is divided into two parts: If the Sheikh's takeover happens, will Liverpool lose their soul, or as Singapore fans, do you really care as long as they get results? Or will they become a bubble waiting to burst eventually, as in the case of Fulham's Egyptian owner Mohamed al-Fayed?

Every time a club comes under the control of a rich foreigner (Sheik in this case), many would question whether the tradition and values of the club will be uphold. It seems exaggerated that Liverpool will lose its soul because of the takeover. A long history like Liverpool does not come easily and will not go easily too. In fact, it would make economic sense for Sheik to tap into Liverpool rich culture than to make significant changes.

Furthermore, this investment is not a case of 'momentary passion and temporary dreams’ (eg: Mohammed Al-fayed) nor ‘too much money, don’t know what to do with it’. Rather, it's a strategic one. A bubble that will not burst.

I feel that most Singaporean fans care only about the results aka the money that can be won with the goals and the score line. It might be an understatement but seriously, besides true Liverpool fans, who cares who is in charge of the club.

Thank you, LORD! :D

The mrt train has 6 cabins & 20 over doors. Yet someone could come in the same door I did and sat opposite me. Ya, what a morning surprise!

You may say it is a coincidence, I say it is part of God's daily plan for me. In fact, the more coincidence it seems, the more likely I would think it's His work.

My childhood wasn't exactly the most memorable kind. However, whenever I think about it, if it wasn't for what it had been, perhaps I would never have been in a Methodist school. Perhaps I would never have known Jesus from such a young age.

If I never went to that school and joined pingpong, I guess it's much harder to make it here. Then I probably would not have chose a stream that was NOT for me. But IF all these didn't take place, people in my life would not be those in my paths today.

The past may not have been perfect, the choices I made are not without regrets.
Every wrong turn leads you closer to the right one.
But if you never know where you gone wrong,
you will never learn when to turn right.

Then, this song just came to my mind:

God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength for each new day
He will make a way,
He will make a way.

By a roadway in the wilderness,
He'll lead me
And rivers in the desert will I see
Heaven and earth will fade
But His Word will still remain
He will do something new today.

This was what I intended to post on thursday. But I didn't complete the post because was too tired (due to work). What made me come back to complete this post even as I falling ill again (actually I never recovered fully) was because of what happened today.

When I heard what Ps shared (of how the CD player played this very song by itself when he was facing a worrying situation), I knew it was the Lord speaking to me & assuring me He will make a way. Suddenly, I recalled Him asking me to put a smile always no matter what happens because He will be with me. (This was a few months ago when I just had a really bad week followed by my grandmother being in a critical situation.)This assurance does not mean there will be no heartache or hardship but that He will see me through all these.
Somehow along the way, I seem to have put these words at the back of my mind.

As Ps begin to sing this song, I realized He is telling me once again that He is still there with me. This realization made me cry. For the first time, I cried not because of deep hurt or sadness but because I was deeply touched. Thank you, Lord.

Ps: So,
don't be surprised if you see me smiling
even when the sky's falling on me;
if I don't, PLS remind me to :)

still on prom:
it's really amazing how people can spend so much on prom but thrift on daily necessities. A 'once in a lifetime' phrase seems to justify the hefty price tag. Ironic as it might be, people spend so much on something they perhaps used only once yet scrimp on things they used everyday. Makes you wonder how the human brain tick..

The same goes with interpersonal relationship. Perhaps that's why sometimes we rather spend time with friends more than family & place different emphasis on the same people in different situations?

After being so 'strong' for quite a while, I fell ill just when prom was coming. Perfect timing!!
It was so cold that my fingers turned purple:

Hmm I got all of my stuffs pretty last minute & most of it pretty on the day itself. Really have to thank you two for helping me with the stuffs & making falling ill not that unbearable.. haha & you (tho' you will never read this I hope) who went out of the way to get mi something even when I am so particular. Woah.. wore heels for the first time!! I could walk pretty fine :p just that it began to hurt at the end

My class girls decide on a quality that makes a man a gentleman & how if prom photos don't turn out nice, it's never the ladies' fault.
Gals, if you want to know what is the quality, just ask me.
Guys, if you still haven't figure it out, just too bad! heh ;)

will update on prom pics if i feel like it.. ah~choo!! the illness just got better or worse, I don't know.

you don't have to be there all the time,
just be here when I need you.

Thoughts of slacking till the end of this year before finding job were over when I started working. Haha was thinking of 'retiring' early.. till results come out that is

16PF: Ms Oh should try to be aware of and work consciously to guard against the impact of
*urges to change from one career field or job to another, or to not stay with one organization long enough to fel as if she belongs there*

Before I got this report, I have never doubted this behavior coming from me because I am not the kind who would stay on something long if I didn't like it. I never ever want to work as I rather get a job which I like (which will not feel like work to me)

Now just 3 days into it, 3 months seem a tad too long. & well this isn't my kind of job.. It's just that I never thought it was that bad

If only the view from vivo sky park is this:

If only there were lesser people and perhaps an open-concept restaurant (that's what I thought I saw in the papers) to soak in the scenery and cool breeze & !! no one taking a nap in this park with the staircase as their bed, sleeping in full view of everyone else

Realised that my recent entries are erhm a bit for my own indulgence. Well, I shall not endeavor you all to them any further for now.

Initially, I could not understand why any producers in the world would choose DC as the lead. He certainly had none of the Bond debonair. However, when I watched the show, their choice became clearer as CR depicts a Bond who is still a raw and unestablished agent. This means the lead should be portrayed by someone who is not like Bond in any way lol.

Also, the show explains Bond's distrusting nature in the previous movies. (CR is the first series of the book) It makes sense now why he could trust no one, not even himself to believe those he loved. Trust is a word not for man.
