about the horrible week I had at work so far. Somehow by the time I turned on my computer, logged in, surfed a few of my favourite websites, I was too exhausted to talk about something that I was going to face the next morning. I like my job, really i do..not all of of it but most of it...like the (actual) job scope, (a significant number of) wonderful colleagues and friends I met at work, the location, job satisfaction (hey, i think i do pretty ok and i don't screw up..often :P) etc. Of course, there are things that I dislike and sometimes it can get a little crazy- it's hard to explain here, but then again, that's just life. Strangely, I'd rather be busy than idle...but willingly busy, if you know what i mean. I have learnt that some things will just blow over. If they don't, I'll just hang in there and learn to enjoy the breeze. There is life besides/ before/ in between/ after work. There are morning conversations with dad in the car, great lunches with wonderful colleagues or friends who came by, lovely dinners with friends and family, attending the opening of BonChon and having fried chicken and fries beside Zoe Tay, spending more than an hour and more than we could afford in Sephora, enjoying some me-time reading or watching a drama, playing with Miss M and so much more. At the end of the day, I remind myself that there is a difference between making a living and making a life. | | |
| I know that I haven't been writing much lately but I am not a professional blogger...i don't write for money, i write for memories. Perhaps recently, I write to forget..which really explains why I write nothing. Because I don't forget things easily anymore. Of course, there are facebook, daily emails with the girls, morning coffee and lunch chats, tons of books and GG, BOF etc that I'm catching up on, and lots of fun stuff that happened...October was great, really great :) It is not really me to live a ephemeral life, but it has been so for the past two months. Today is Halloween and I'm going to celebrate that. For tricking myself during times when it's needed to stay strong. For tricking others because I love them. For always treating myself well. For treating others with respect, sincerity and an open mind. I am glad for the "tricks" and "treats" in my life. Halloween seems to mean something different to me now. Let's go out and chase the demons away!

| On Milestones Two months ago, I mentioned here http://orwez-qi.xanga.com/709497899/item/ that there are certain things that deserve an entry. This is really what keeps this blog going...my friends and the milestones that we reach together. Two of my best friends have embarked on another stage of their lives. And I was right there to feel their happiness and share my joy :) Sarah aka Avo...the WIFE. They stood the test of time...HCJC prelims, A levels, army, university, a new career etc. When I was preparing one of the "Asian pose games" at home, I thought about my dear friend, the times we shared and how our paths crossed. We were marrying her off the next day. As I wrote the word "Daydream" in my purple marker pen, I remember smiling to myself. Who would have thought that we would come to this day. In fact, I had never treated yiming seriously until this year haha. Somehow, I felt really happy and comforted, knowing that she will lead a happy married life, have a reliable doting husband, and our friendship will still remain strong. 
Some of my favourite morning photos.  
Cher doing "blow a kiss", QQ doing "heart-shape", Lin doing "beggin", Jun doing "picture frame" and ping doing "daydream".  
I have to put this up to prove that I was doing work that night. Seriously, "6th floor auntie" is not a name and is not written in the list. In future, should there be a confusion in categorising guests (especially our parents' friends", let's agree to put it under "6th floor auntie" category...we will search that list if in doubt. hahaha 
One of my favourite night photos. 
Have a beautiful life together :) 
Meelu...the MUMMY I am not being biased when I say that Ryan must be one of the most beautiful babies in the world. Welcome to the world, little Prince Ryan! Day One.. 
4-days-old Ryan still couldn't recognise me, but he probably could recognise my voice :) 
1 month old with mummy meelu (Meelu, I have the same top!)  
 
2 months. Ryan had quite a bit of milk within that span of time. Check out his strong arms and legs haha. Super love his big round eyes.  
Happy Birthday Ping! I will let you carry Ryan tomorrow lah!

| A dear friend of mine told me to update my blog more often...not because she wants to know what's been happening in my life lately (since we talk almost everyday), but because everytime she visits this blog, the first sentence that she sees is still "I think i'm at my fattest ever in my life now." Strangely, this still did not spur me on to lose weight. I will be thankful if i haven't put on extra pounds from all the food I had. But at least I'm making an effort to update my blog now. I really don't have enough time at night and during the weekends. I thought I would have a lot of time on my hands now, but seriously, it doesn't seem to work that way. I really treasure every single chance I get to have home cooked food with my family and every minute spent with my friends, even if it was for a simple lunch at Orchard Towers or a quick dinner at Taste Paradise (pam, i know it's really hard to bring Lilia out sometimes but u still did it just to met us..hugs.). The late night coffee with lin and jo, shopping and conversations over our favourite yaki tori, clearing leen's wardrobe (sex&thecity style), movie dates and being silly in the cinema, sparkles ktv..are small but precious memories. If anyone is to ask me what my most cherished possession is, it would definately be my memory. I admit I don't have a good one (haha), but that's what a blog is for :P Never underestimate the love and sincerity of friends. I cannot ask for better friends in my life. If I haven't thank YOU yet, i'll do it here. Thank you dearie, for being my pillar of support, for keeping me in your prayers, for being so understanding and loving me for who I am. xoxo October is a BIG BIG month. Not just because it's always my busiest month at work, but because there are always lots of celebrations, reminding me to keep my spirits and energy level up...and that there are a lot of beautiful reasons to celebrate life. Gor's birthday brunch at Riders cafe...and Megan ordering food at Vivocity Sushi tei (with her cute little blanket)  
Jo's birthday at sum-of-all-dimsum-Kam boat, king-of-japanese-porkbellybeeftonguepufferfish-Raikuchi and lala-nowhere-but Party world.  
For those who care but never found the right time and opportunity to ask me how I am...hey i am doing good :) It's not because I am an amazing self healer and an extremely cool person (which is true haha), but because i want to move on for my sake and i never see the point in dwelling on matters that has no outcome. In a way, it's true that when something intense has been taken away, a part of me has left and a part of me became stronger and richer. Things are definately different, but life has still been good to me. I believed right from the beginning there's never anybody at fault, only a mismatch of attitudes and wrong timing. Some things, when they are gone, can never be found...the good along with the bad. If so, I will find new things, I will treasure what I have, I will make better mistakes and better decisions, I will live a better life. | | |
