i know the heart of life is good. [14 Jul 2009|10:31pm] unprompted [ mood | happy ] [ music | John Mayer - The Heart of Life | Powered by Last.fm ] I've noticed that the magic of Seah Street Deli only appears when you're in the company of the right friends. Magic meaning - the charming ambience, milkshakes and songs that you both can sing to, impromptu. And it's fantastic - the manager's first words to me were welcome back! it's been too long! But back to the company - like always, it was amazing and happy. I dread meet ups with some friends (and don't even bother writing about them) but this one (I've got to admit) is almost always sincere and comfortable. Like a good John Mayer song, y'know what I mean. Or like - Bali Run, by Fourplay (omg, best song ever.) I have been experiencing mixed feelings at work recently and wondering aimlessly about my next step along the way. This is an obvious signal of my lack of communication with God but I just can't bring myself to do much about it. I must I must start focusing on the Lord. post comment

New-old look [12 Jul 2009|03:42pm] _pof_ Got a haircut yesterday. Think I look like in my JC days now. Haha! Refreshing! (: post comment

Just the four of us. [11 Jul 2009|11:42pm] unprompted My Saturday was spent at the boyfriend's cousin's (and husband's) place (whom is actually more like a sister to him, so with that settled - I'll call Ping - ks's sister - from now on) the entire day with both lunch and dinner inclusive. And I must say that we surprised ourselves by having a completely fantastic time, stuffing ourselves silly and me watching everyone play PS whilst I laughed away. ALSO! I have come to realise that I must fight this very rational fear of playing PS. Okay rational because - I NEVER DID GROW UP PLAYING SUCH GAMES ANYWAY! AND IMA LOSER! Anyway, anyway - It was frustrating trying to convince them that I was better off just being a spectator but but but I swear I was dying to play that last awesomely cute Japanese game show styled game. And yet I was fighting internally with peaks of palpitations and sweaty palms. I've always been a wuss when it comes to handheld games yet I'm absolutely fearless when it comes to speaking in front of a crowd. Till next month when I go over - I must overcome this stupid, irrational, pointless, senseless and totally frustrating fear. YES. I WILL. And I still enjoyed being treated like a child with them asking me if I'll get safely home, and to text them when I'm back. It's not even sarcasm - I do like it, alot. It's been awhile since I've been treated like one and I welcome every moment that it happens. ♥

Wednesday Stadium Runs. [08 Jul 2009|10:07pm] unprompted Today we started the Wednesday Stadium Runs. And my goodness - We all had a FANTASTIC TIME. I know we all did because I could see this glow amidst the fatigue that screamed WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, MY FRIEND. But the only insane matter that kinda dampened my spirits in the beginning was - WHY ARE THERE SO FEW LOCKERS AT THE STADIUM, WTH? And so I did my 4km and everyone was very nice and accomodative to my usual 4k routine and I was really filled with the competitve vibe that came from all around us. To running alongside equally amazing individuals who take time off in the evening, dedicating to the track - is something admirable. I think I should take a photo of Toa Payoh Stadium next week against the backdrop of the sunset. The feeling of running into the sunset is in itself an extremely romantic feeling - I was thinking of kimseng the entire time :) I'm going to watch a re-run of the MJ memorial. Even though it really does feel like he's been gone for a long time, I'll have to agree with Nellie that his passing didn't sink in - only until we watched highlights of the memorial. I'm going to prep a box of tissue now and I hope I don't end up sobbing. (edit, 12:32am) I cried so hard when I watched John Mayer perform Human Nature as a guitar solo. It was beautiful, respectful and I just kept crying buckets. I think Beautiful is a complete understatement. When it comes to song arrangements - John Mayer is a genius. Which explains why I have about every John Mayer CD (and even spent $60SGD on his Any Given Thursday CD.) It is way awesome and surreal to be seeing a current star paying tribute to his own inspiration. T'was a beautiful memorial. ♥ post comment

Long Day [07 Jul 2009|04:33pm] _pof_ Had a long mad rush at work today. Din even have time to eat lunch.   Happy for the free ride home though (: post comment

And it's all because of you. [06 Jul 2009|10:55pm] unprompted #1 Lini and I playing around with the stone plugs at Fort Canning today morning #2 Louis looking like a (in Cherlsy's words) 'total refugee' at Little Bali during dinner #3 Unexpected most awesome people that I actually love very much - The boyfriend and I were on the phone today whilst I was on the cab home from Little Bali. He stuck his hand out and waved as my cab past his block and even though we probably missed each other, it was that knowing feeling of us passing each other by that left me with an unusually warm and tingly sensation from my heart down to my toes (it's such a bad expression but thats how I felt!). Off to bed. 1 comment|post comment

DragonBoating & Triple Dating [06 Jul 2009|11:14am] _pof_ [ mood | happy ] Did db with the cg ppl yesterday. Jep and I sat in front and led the pace. Really miss the feeling of rowing in the water! Love the team spirit and the thrill of racing. Hopefully we can get to do this often. It is always one of my dream that Jep and I can each buy a 2nd hand K1 and we can go rowing once a while together. Wish this could come true... After that, we went on a triple date with xr and des, and sushi and qh. Always love to go on dbl dates. Never been on a triple one though. Hope that Jep and I can have more time together to hang out with other people. Body aching like MAD now!!! & thank God for a youth day monday off! (: post comment

NUS Students get free entry to local museums. [05 Jul 2009|11:04pm] unprompted And after one hectic day spent with Heng and Ping (who have been together for more than half their lives, seriously!) - Sunday was awesome and amazing just roaming museums, evening church service (where the both of us could feel God's touch and Preacher Mark Chen was really, really good) and dinner at Fish & Co where we spent most of the time in happy silence attacking the seafood platter for two. The irony of July is that it's officially our shopping ban and since the both of us have never been the sort to buy clothes during the sale - we have been trying to (unsuccessfuly) convince well meaning friends that we're totally unaffected by the fact that we cant participate in the Annual GSS. Anyway, we'll rather spend the time at the Botanics on a picnic mat sipping tea and watching dvds on our laptop by the lake. Seriously! It's a VERY LONG WEEK ahead. I cannot even imagine how tired I will be.

Tag-Teaming with the boyfriend. [05 Jul 2009|12:34am] unprompted I have never worked on a project with Kim Seng before in our 7 years together. We never took any similiar classes (you definitely cannot count common lecture groups in JC as 'together' because we hung out in classes) and our interests diverge from Wrestling onwards, entirely. So to have been working together for emcees today at Ping's (ks's cousin) and Heng's wedding was a virgin experience and an amazing chance to check out how he works. And true enough - we are rather complementary. And I'm hardly nervous - just excited - whereas he's quite calm yet unsure at times. So our energies and contrasting attitudes help to create a balanced atmosphere - where we keep each other in check. Anyway, I've been up since 6am and now that I'm finally home - I'm just dying to sleep. Photos will come next week when we meet them for lunch (Ping is cooking!) at their new home. On a sidenote - the photographer loved ks and I today - there were seriously so many photos of us looking at each other, laughing, talking, holding hands, hugging. My goodness. But seriously, it was a great experience. I loved it. And if it counts - it was way better than my first experience in May, if you know what I mean :)
