Wishing upon a star

According to the media, we can observe the Perseid meteor shower tonight, and the best place to see it on earth is East Asia. Haven seen any meteor in my twenty something years living on this planet. I imagine it would be kind of romantic to catch the meteor rain when I look into the sky. And since young we heard that when you see a flying star, you cast a wish!

I thought I should prepare myself with a list of wishes so that when I really do catch the sign of meteor, I will not panick and loss my chance! So what should I wish for....

(Wish list in no particular order)
- may there be no more war among the people
- may everyone respects and loves each other
- may my family, relatives and friend be blessed with health and happiness *hugs*
- may we cherish and love our environment more
- may there be NO MORE ot....
- may I be blessed with a generoud supply of chocolate!
- may the "Freaking Ridiculous Sicko" stop getting thicker and complicated!
- may THEY increase the budget..... (getting greedy)

and finally, world peace *blek*

Happy Living everyone ~~

The PERFECT world

Was watching this Jap drama called "Zettai Kareshi" (Absolute Boyfriend) during my break. It is about this girl Riiko, who is a sweet, simple girl, always doing her best (which her dream lover doesn't like as he thinks she is too serious). So she was wondering why she never meet the perfect partner, the ideal one, and her whining is overheard by a man from the company called "Kronos Heaven" which produces robots. One of the latest invention of the company is a lover robot, programmed to suit every girl's needs. And so Riiko went to the company to "customize" her ideal boyfriend. From the look to the personality and skills (who knows how to cook and looks sexy when exercising, be there for her whenever she is in trouble, can be a little jealous etc...) "Night Tenjo" with all her establised ideal characteristics is sent to her for trial use. So this is how the story goes, with Riiko seeking for her ideal partner (a real human), and life with the ideal partner she created.

It gets me thinking, aren't we all looking for the ideal and perfect someone? But no one in this world is perfect, so who we are actually looking for is someone perfect to us, with their own imperfections, just like we do. Riiko has her ideal boyfriend which she created, who sometimes seems rigid, rather than perfect.

Sometimes the ideal ways become the limit instead, and we will not venture out the ideal boundary cos we know it is not ideal to go beyond. So we live in our own world trying our best to create the ideal world.

But maybe we can have different ideal ways at different phases of our life? Or perhaps we could have more than one ideal scenario at one time so that every scenario is perfect?

It is nice to have an ideal world (dream) but lets not let it becomes our own obstacles to appreciate the things we have.

好歌介紹

最近喜欢这首歌，曹格和光良的少年。我想我们都会感叹时间不留人，当时少年的梦想，还在吗？

(光)你又想起某個夏天 熱鬧海岸線

(曹)記憶中的那個少年 驕傲的宣言

(光)伸出雙手就能擁抱全世界

(曹)相信所有的夢想一定會實現

(光)一切看起來都不會太遙遠 (合)轉眼之間過了幾年

(曹)輕浮的語言都已慢慢沈澱

(光)即使難免會變得更加洗煉 (合)我們不曾妥協

(光)那是我們都回不去的從前

(曹)幸好還可以堅持當時的信念

(光)世界嘗試改變 (合)當初的那個少年

(曹)那是我們都回不去的從前

(光)當你站在那個夏天的海岸線

(曹)我們還是心裡面 (合)那個偏執的少年

(曹)你又想起某個夏天 熱鬧海岸線

(光)記憶中的那個少年 驕傲的宣言

(曹)伸出雙手就能擁抱全世界

(光)相信所有的夢想一定會實現 (合)我們不曾妥協

(曹)那是我們都回不去的從前

(光)幸好還可以堅持當時的信念

(曹)世界嘗試改變 (合)當初的那個少年

(光)那是我們都回不去的從前

(曹)當你站在那個夏天的海岸線

(光)我們還是心裡面 (合)那個偏執的少年

(合)那是我們都回不去的從前 幸好還可以堅持當時的信念 世界嘗試改變 當初的那個少年 那是我們都回不去的從前 當你站在那個夏天的海岸線 我們還是心裡面 那個偏執的少年

Weekend at home

Went home for the long weekend. The last time I saw my family was during CNY, which is almost 3 months ago!

Took the night bus back and reached Puduraya at about 4am in the morning. Sis and bro came to fetch me (thanks ya ^.^)... Went home and slept straight until 10 am... My own bed is the NICEST!!

Went shopping with sis, which is our must-do ritual whenever I am back home. We thought we were early as we left home at 10 plus and reached the Mega Mall slightly after 11 and we were wrong! There were long queues at the car park entrances! Based on sis's experience, it will be easier to find parking lot at The Gardens and so we headed to the car park, and within 10 min we were all set up and ready for 血拼! hee.....

As expected, the mall was already pack with people! We both already knew what we want to get so we just headed straight to the JUSCO counter and all the sales personnel were busy entertaining other customers. After wandering and looking at the products for few minutes, we decided to go to the counter at Metro instead. On our way to Metro the brand actually set up a booth and so we spent about 30 min there doing skin consultation and trying their new masks. In the end, we both got what we wanted and I am so amazed with the mask!

We were thinking what to have for lunch and our mom called. She just came back from Ipoh and is reaching Puduraya. So we went to pick her up and had 怡宝鸡丝河粉 for lunch at Petaling Street. It still tastes the same as those I had when I was in primary school.... I love these 老字号...

As for dinner, we went to a Western restaurant recommended by Daddy's friend, called "Sit a Spell". It is located at PJU and hidden behind some shop lots.




The restaurant is cozy, with a piano in a corner.



Family picture =)






Its been a long time since we had dinner together. Shall do this more often =)

Before coming back to Singapore, had our must-do ritual = dim sum for breakfast! Ha we have always love dim sum =)

Back to Singapore, recharged. You all take care, and love you all, LOTS *hugs*

Another goodbye

Today I am pulling out from my favourite client job. We have finished the Mar '09 year end audit.

I still remember when I was first doing this job, one year plus ago. Very lucky and happy to be on this team, cos the team is nice and the client is nice plus a reaosnable budget with reaosnable timeline, just perfect!

Mr N is such a patient finance manager. Whatever our queries is, he will do his best to help, and his colleagues too. This is one of the job that I am willing to take up and will give my best to meet their reporting deadline. When I was packing, I felt heavy-hearted, to think that I might not be doing this job again and this is probably the last time that I will be seeing the client.

I had this feeling before on 2 other engagement. One is the oversea one, as the client had been really really nice to us and I like them for they are such great person. The other one is my "sh*test" job where we worked until the wee hours with UNREASONABLE tight deadline. The thing that I miss is the time together with my team, where we supported and helped each other throughout the engagement. We sang when we were bored and talked about anything at all during lunch and dinner. Guess this is what they call the "brotherhood" where we fought the war together.

Thankful to them, for being such wonderful person (I cannot emphasize more on this point) in my journey.

Thanks to the lady who shared her umbrella =)

As I left for work this morning, I thought I would be safe from the rain, at least througout the journey from MRT --> Office --> client's place. And I was wrong.

The moment I stepped out from the escalator, I was greeted with raindrops forming a big curtain blinds hanging from the sky... But I did not have the luxury to wait until the rain stop as it might take forever. With a newspaper over my head, I walked as fast as possible to cross the un-sheltered street.

Not lucky enough to cross the second street, I stood under a nearby small tree waiting for the traffic light, hoping to minimize the exposure to the rain.

And at this moment, a lady standing beside me approached me and asked if I wish to share her umbrella! I was so grateful for her kindness and I did not know how else I can show her my appreciation, besides keep saying "Thank you" to her.

We were heading to the same direction, and we both reached our destination and she left with a smile. Despite the cold and wet rainy weather, my heart is warm.

No matter how insignificant, as all the kindness is great and goes a long way.

Thanks to the lady who shared her umbrella =)

圆月

原本乌云密布的天空，以为今天又看不见月亮娘娘了。怎知道，在回家的路途中，隐约看见一个熟悉的发亮物体，在云后探出头。

繁忙（盲）的生活，搞得人人忧心忡忡的经济风暴，人与人之间的不信任，平静似乎是一种奢侈。

望着月亮静静的，日复一日的尽其本分（又是谁说月亮是为谁而亮呢？），有了一丝安慰。

祈望人人团团圆圆，安康快乐。

Catch up

Fong Sim was in Singapore for visit (and shopping) so we arranged for a meet up.

Called Ang Li, Wan Lin and Sze San but Wan Lin was busy and Sze San was not in SG, so in the end only Fong Sim, Ang Li and I met up. Initial plan was to meet in Vivo at 7.30 pm, after that we changed to 8.30pm.

"Wei, shi wei, can meet in City Hall mrt instead?"
"What you guys plan to eat there?"
"I also not sure, we see how first. See you."

In the end, Ang Li and Fong Sim met up first and they went shopping and I only reached at 9.30 due to some last minute thing... Fong Sim bought a pair of Charles & Keith shoes as their shoes back in hometown is UNREASONABLY EXPENSIVE!!!

As most of the shops has closed by the time I reached (feel damn paiseh), we settled for cuppa at Coffee & Toast and talk and talk about anything and everything =)

Nice catch up gals!

New blog site

This is my new blog site, as there is something about the previous site that I could not (and give up) figure out.

Good day!
