感触

不久后我得再度与你们离别了。。。不到一周的时间我就得飞回英国继续工作了。不知何年才会回访新加坡永久定居叶。（我也不知该如何回答这不一定的未来。）但在新加坡度假这现有期间内，总觉得时间永远是不够的！我连去东海岸玩滑轮的时间都没有呀。

在此所逗留短期间内，我都是忙着与家人及朋友们见面交谈。同时也利用了我的度假来做视力激光矫正手术。忙得不可开交。还有很多事没办完，也还有些朋友们没见面到。哎。天阿！为什么时间总觉得不够吗。

所以我说呀，做人有时要自私一点儿，总得给自己单独的时间，停一下来找自我，办该完成的事物及回想看一看自己所经历的一切。可是时间哪会停留给我那么做吗！还是现实点吧你这个永远自我矛盾的女人！还是好好利用所限有的时间吧！

Snow video

My first ever snowing encounter abroad.
How I wish my friends were here to make snowman with me.
Trix, this vid is especially for ya!



Friends tell me it's spring
My window show the same
Without you here the seasons pass me by
I know you were not new
That loved like me and you
All the same I miss you
Today has been ok
Today has been ok

Singlish

Woo hoo.. I can't wait to put my Singlish to use once more this coming Chinese New Year, when I fly home for my holiday! Whoopie!!!

Some Snow updates...

10.30am, London, UK

I'm looking out of the window. It's not stopping since I woke at 7ish am this morning, the snowing of course. *Winks* Beautiful.

11am, London, UK

Yep, it's still snowing....

11.30am, London, UK

I believe that the snowing has ceased. Bummer.

1.30pm, London, UK

No more snowing! I wanted to go snow hunting in St James park but ended up eating Nasi Lemak in a restaurant in China Town area. Nasi lemak wasn't that bad. Tasted not as authentic, but still taste good otherwise. Tsk tsk...

It's actually snowing!

10am, London, UK

OH MY GOD! It's actually snowing in London!

It has been for the past few hours since I awoke. I'm so happy! First in my lifetime to see it snow like there's no tomorrow! And lots of snow about (i.e. where I live; the city area is too hot for them to survive once touch down.)! It's still raining snow outside my office window! Hopefully by lunch time today the snow will still be around for I to get down to St. James Park to make me a snowman or even have snowfights with my colleagues if they want to tag along with this child - me i.e.

I was so excited that I even forgot to bring my packed lunch to work today. It's still sitting in the fridge back home. I was snapping photos away as I walked to the tube station. But it had been quite a chore getting to work with this snow "storm" affecting transportation.

Stay tune for more photos. Hopefully it shall include a snowman. Hee hee...

Let it snow let it snow let it snow...

THAT ONE DAY...

Aaron Kwok

I had a very weird dream this morning! Gee, I've never really like him but somehow he managed to sneak into my dream this morning.

Anyway cutting it brief, I dreamt that I was snuggled up close to Aaron Kwok under the warm blankets (and he was trying to kiss me!!). There we were, trying to fall asleep together. Hee, it felt like so nice - the feeling of just falling asleep together with him comfortably in his embrace, this feeling that none other guy has managed to give by far. However we were not alone! (Now... behave) On the other bed across the room was my grandfather sleeping in his bed! *faints*

Then it ended up we waking up to have breakfast in some sort of funny skyscraper building with apartments within. Blah blah blah...

Wonder what could this imply. Anyone can decode dreams?

Happy New Year!!!

From long to shorter hair...
NEW cut NEW year NEW start
FRESH cut FRESH year FRESH start

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!
May 2007 be a NEW and FRESH year for all!!!

It's gonna be even BETTER!!!!

Last day of the year...

It's finally a year coming soon to an end. 2006 has been quite a year for me with it's up and down. But it's been fun as well as sad. Anyway I'm looking forward to 2007. I'm sure it's gonna be an even better year than the previous. It's gonna be very exciting too! I'm going home for Chinese New Year (ANG BAOS!!) I'm gonna find out whether or not I'll be getting to stay on in the UK once the work permit/entrance clearance visa applications get through. Otherwise it's gonna be adjustments back home to SG. Travelling more hopefully (depending on my suitation).

So what's a new year without any new year's resolutions? Without further ado...

New Year Resolutions?
1] Try not to be so forgetful
2] Try save up more and spend less unnecessarily
3] Try catching up more with friends in SG
4] Try blogging more
5] Try eat less junk food!

[Trying to keep it minimal and achievable]

So ways to combat failing the resolutions?
1] Keep a To Do list whenever necessary, will use a journal specifically for this only
2] Not to go overboard spending especially when SALES are up every now and then, and aso keep to a financial budget
3] Make an effort to email/mail/msn them more (if I'm still gonna be in UK)
4] GET BROADBAND!
5] Control my diet and eat more greens & cook more greens

[Hopefully these would help]

7 days of Christmas

12 days of Christmas 7 days of Christmas

On the 1st day of Christmas,
I had Italian company at home and lovely Italian meal for dinner.

On the 2nd day of Christmas,
I baked lovely chocolate chips cookies for all at home and I ate many.

On the 3rd day of Christmas,
I went to Natural History Museum and walked about fascinated like a kid.

On the 4th day of Christmas,
I had a totally awesome haircut and we all liked it.

On the 5th day of Christmas,
I went shopping for pressies for myself and home and I went bonkers.

On the 6th day of Christmas,
I visited some friends and we had great times together.

On the 7th day of Christmas,
I and few DMD juniors in UK went countdown to the New Year by the River Thames and it's nice hanging out with SG company.

hair to a new begining

Should I cut my long hair short? Though painstakingly I've tried my best to grow it as long as possible, with great effort.

I've had it for 3 years now. Perhaps it's time for a change? Cutting it short to signify a cut from the past and moving on? A new cut for a new start to the 2007?

moving on...

Finally after months of cruel uncertainties, I manage to brace up the courage to end it. I believe it will take me quite a time before I can look him in the eye as friends again. It never will be a happy ending from the start. But there hasn't a begining to begin with. Things people foolishly fall into for being the innocent victim of loneliness. I'm glad I've decided to stop the prey from devouring me away. A fresh start for a fresh 2007 soon to come. Before that, Merry Christmas to me.

I MISS THE BEACH...

Going home

I wonder how is it like to be walking along the streets in Singapore again. Having the once so familiar paths beneath my feet again, under the sunny hot sun. Looking at a vibrant night scene picture of the Singapore River with Boat Quay and Raffles Place in it, I must say it triggers something within me that tells me Singapore is waiting for me to be home again.

Come walk along all the familiar roads and
taste all the familiar air and happenings.

I wonder how does it feel like to be back home again. I shall embrace Singapore with warm open arms once more for a few week during my trip home in time to come. Soon. Paitence!

During the short span my friend, the Cow, had in London. I've tried my best to show her the best of London as much as I could. We walked like mad everyday!

And here's a montage of us in Rome, Italy. Rome was nice. Lovely weather (though super cold in the early wee hours and late wee hours), nice food, best gelato!!! The cow and I spent 4 days in Rome. We walked all day long till our feet hurts. We stuffed ourselves constantly with food and GELATOS! We snapped countless of photos! We tried out 2 different hostels too. And during our last night in Rome, we met an American born chinese lad in our hostel. It was his first ever backpacking trip out of LA to Italy for 9 days. That's pretty neat. Wish I had such courage to go backpacking on my own for a period of time in unfamiliar lands.
