This is me now…!

May 23rd, 2007 by st-ling

Hmm… Its been so long since my last entry, i mean really an entry, and for pple who likes to read other pple’s blog, u noe how boring it is, isn’t it???

Well… Feel kinda bored lately… Cos i haven receive Emily’s letter, my NUS reply letter, juz working, and working and working and juz plain working… So tiring these days, working 5 days a week, and all up to 8 hrs… I feel like i’m working full-time, but in actual fact i’m juz a part-timer… So now i’m a Full-part-timer…

Its so sad, cos alot of pple i used to work with, have alrdy left… Starting with their new job, sometimes i really think, wat the hell am i doin, seriously… I’m like waiting and waiting, like waiting for a miracle to drop down from the sky, which IS nv gonna happen!!! So wat’s it with u huh Serene???

Oh ya, and i din hve any news from my fren in Aussie, so went like in February, and she’s supposed to write a letter to me to let me noe tt she is safe, but th i don’t know y, no news at all??? I’m so worried about her, i hope she’s ok…

Last sat, sun and the mon which juz past, i was taking care of my colleague’s cats, Mao Mao and Ball Ball… Haha… It was like a routine everyday, come in thru the door, greeted by Mao mao, stroke him and coax Ball ball to come out too… Change their food and water, vac the sofa (oh my god, u cant imagine wat they can do to the sofa), th clear their poo poo, well, my turn to eat, and th relax and watch tv programmes, sometimes i hve to worry wher they are, play with them, and before i leave, clear their poo poo again, change their food and water, and say bye bye to them (ask them to be good as well)… Woah… the 3 days was like her house-keeper cum cat-sitter… After all tt taking care of, i feel tt i’ve neglected my 2 little ones… Feel abit guilty, but th again, they’re like little demons and monsters… So terrible, i think its becos they are still to very young… Sigh…

And i juz did my hair again!!! Dun worry, its still straight, juz tt a change of hair colour and new fringe… but it again cost me a bomb!!! Oh my god, y is it soooooo expensive… and not  like i earn alot ah… i’m gonna hve to eat maggie mee every day now… so sad… or else dun eat, treat it as a diet… Muahahaha… (to slim down for my frenz wedding, cos i bought ONE dress alrdy… i think i still hve 2 MORE dresses to buy, oh gosh, money again…)

Alright, now u really noe wat i’ve been up to lately…
Okie, peace out!!!

Why do we work so hard?

April 18th, 2007 by st-ling

Someone send me this email… Very interesting and quite true…

Want to know why you are working so hard?

On the very 1st day of the world, God created the cow.
He said to the cow: "Ah Gu (cow), today I have created you!
Your job is to go to the field with the farmer all day long. You will provide the energy to pull things!
You will also provide milk for pple to drink!
You will work all day under the sun!
In return, you will only eat grass.
For that, you will have a life span of 50 yrs."
Ah Gu objected.
"What… I work all day in the sun and i get only to eat grass! On top of that, I have to give milk away!
This is tough and you wan me to live 50 yrs! I’ll take 20 and you can ve the remaining 30 yrs back!"
God agreed.

On the next day, God created the dog.
He said to the dog: "Ah Kow (dog), I have created you for a purpose…
You are to sit all day by the door of your master’s hse!
Should anyone come in, you are to bark at them!
In return, you will eat your master’s leftovers.
I’ll give you a life span of 20 yrs."
Ah Kow objected.
"What! I have to sit by the door all day and will need to bark at pple and wat do i get??? LEFTOVERS!!! This isn’t right, I’ll take 10 and you can hve the remaining 10 yrs back!"
God agreed again.

On the 3rd day, God created the monkey.
He said to the monkey: "Lao Kao (monkey), your job is to entertain pple.
You will make them laugh, act stupid and make faces!
You will also do somersaults and swing on trees to amaze them.
In return, you will get to eat bananas and peanuts.
For that, I’ll give you 20yrs to live."
Naturally the monkey objected.
"This is ridiculous, I gotta make faces and make pple laugh, let’s not even come to the part about the trees and somersaults. Tell you wat, I’ll give 10 yrs of my life to thank you for my existence and i’ll take 10. What do you think?"
God agreed again.

On the 4th day, God created humans.
God said to the man: "You are my best piece of work, for that you will only need to sleep, eat, sleep, play, eat, sleep again and do nothing else.
You will get to eat all the best things and play with the best toys.
All you need to do is enjoy all your life.
For this kinda life, I’ll give you 20 yrs."
Just like the rest, the man objected.
"What, all I need to do is relax and enjoy myself and I have only 20yrs to live?
Tell you what, you’ve 30 yrs back from Ah Gu, 10yrs from Ah Gow and another 10 from Lao Kao and you probably don’t know wat to do wif all those lives. Why not I take them all and I’ll hve 70 yrs to live?"
God being such good natured, agreed with a smile…

And that is why…

We eat, sleep, play and enjoy for the first 20 yrs of our lives when we are growing up.
Work like a cow for the nxt 30yrs to raise our family.
Sit outside the door and bark at pple for the nxt 10 when we retire.
And finally, we make faces and perform monkey tricks to entertain our grandchildren for the final 10yrs…

-THE END-

This morning i was awaken by my Kelly Clarkson, cos the ringtone was tt… Actually it was my fren who called me… I din pick up at first, th i called her back afterwards… She told me tt she had found a bird at her block’s lift yest morning, yellow colour with pick cheeks… so i tot it was a canary…
She brought the bird home, today she had called the SPCA, thinking tt they would take care of it lor, but th they told her to let the bird fly away, but it wouldnt so they told her, they will look at the situation, they might put it to sleep and they will not call her to let her noe the outcome… So thinking tt it wasnt a very good thing, she called me… Cos she knows my bf has a cockatoo at home… so ask me to ask him to adopt it la… But i noe the outcome wasnt gonna be good…
I asked her to bring the bird to my hse as she is goin to work afterwards… When the bird came, it wasnt enitrely yellow, and the cheeks aint pink either, bad description man… So we search the web and found out tt it was a Cockatiel… It has orange cheeks actually… Cockatiel
i think its abit sick, bringing it to the vet tmr morning, cos the bird vet expert only works till 1pm today, tmr she’ll be in the whole day… so i’m goin tmr, we’ll see how it goes… but in the mean time, i’m helping this little fellow looking for a good home, pple who likes birds and knows how to take care of one…
P.S anyone or any of ur frenz interested pls let me noe… pass it ard, pls help this cute little fellow over here… Can leave comments for me or pple who knows me, can sms or call me at my no. Thanx!!!

6 mths apart…

November 26th, 2006 by st-ling

A gal has left to another country in the means of success… She has left for 6mths to Chennai, India… Alone without any close frenz or family there, home-sicked shall be the case, cos u alone in somewher else, miss everyone back home… Though 6 mths isn’t a very long time, it ain’t a short time either…

Before Sharmoney left, we gals, Tingie, Juni, Sandy & Serenity (me! of course) met up at the connoisseur of some coffee and lotssss of toking… We took lots of photos, hve nv taken sooo many pics with these gals before… now we cant say that we dun hve any pics together… Oh ya, except for Token, this gal very sick, th last min cant come… So sad, otherwise it’ll be perfect la, 6 of us together… but anyway its better th nothing… Dscn0034_11

Being 6 mths away from her mother country, and she wont be spending her bdae or xmas with us, we decided, or shld i say i decided to celeb both ocassions in advance, before she flies to india…
So we bought her a flower cake Dscn0003 & a photo frame for her and a pic with the 5 of us inside Photo_for_sharm

When we presented it to her, this was the end product…

With big smiles on her face, and almost teary eyes… Dscn0022
(and as usual on the phone, with her fren…)

After all the chit-chatting, we took some hilarious pics together… And it was kinda late alrdy, Sandy had to go home, th there was 4, so we headed down to the river with beer and some hot chocolate… (i noe it doesn’t match)
Before we left and say good bye, we tried to take this pic on our own, tried to squeeze 4 heads into 1 pic and finally u get… Dscn0062

P.S Miss you alrdy, eventhough tok to u on MSN yest nite… Take care babe…

Test from Haven again…

October 29th, 2006 by st-ling

A test from haven again… HE has gone to serve the pple in green again, this time its either training again or duty calls for the nxt 3 weeks… Well, of course there would be OFF days but u noe… Hmm… mayb u dun noe, how could u noe?? Anyway it’ll be different from last time, its been a yr and 3 mths so guess it’ll be juz fine…

It has always been a test all the time, think we’ve been encountering with alot of tests during the past year… still trying to mend and perfect it, its all about understanding and compromising each other - give and take… But if its easy to give and difficult to take th there’s alot of work to be done, if u really love that person th u hve to put in more effort for it… Understand and give more time… but of course it takes 2 hands to clap, 1 pair of chopsticks to work, so of course both need to work equally hard…

Its not all about lovey-dovey always, the truth is… it’ll nv be happy all the time, there’ll be times wher there’ll be ugliness and it cant be avoided, tokin things out and opening up is the best way to go… Saying is of course easy but practice makes perfect, u wont noe u can do it until u try… =^-^=

P.S the above are only suggestions, if anything goes wrong thou shall not be hold responsible…

Fun, fun at 72nd storey…

October 15th, 2006 by st-ling

~Women, ladies, girls with flowers…~

October 10th, 2006 by st-ling

Flowers, flowers… The floral smell of each and every flowers, so far i’ve been getting flowers for my frenz for their bdaes or special occasion… Cos i feel tt each and every gal in the world shld deserve flowers… Whether its from their love ones or their frenz…

Guys! Men! Should always at least once a yr, give ur love ones flowers, or if u dun hve a love one, which cant be true, cos there is ur mom or your sister or your girl friends… Many females to give to though…

Show you some of the flowers that were given to me & flowers that i gave away… 1st up : ——> P1020355_medium this is my bdae gift in 2005, given to me by my beloved poly frenz… Thank you so so much!!!
2nd up :——>02140002 my 1st Valentine’s day flowers this yr given to me by my beloved dear boyfriend… Hmm… he wasn’t really satisfied, so he bought me another one which are tulips… I asked for tulips, cos they are elegant… Roses are juz too commercialized…
02190014 ——> And these tulips are my fav. colour, which are purple!!! Ain’t they juz beautiful… So wat’s up nxt??? Oh ya!!! My bdae this yr… was given flowers too… So happy…
Photo0005 ——>  this time was pink tulips & sunflower, cant find the nicer pic one, wher the tulips hve bloom… Well… anyway… These are the flowers that i received so far…

For the flowers that i gave to pple, who are actually my frenz, and my mom as well, but i din take the pic tt i gave to my mom la…
04160016 ——> this is weiqing’s bdae last yr, our indian family decided to give her flowers for her bdae…
Th the nxt one is Jane’s bdae ——> Janes_bdae_flower  Gave a a sunflower, hpe to cheer her up… Its so cool, cos it has butterflies on top of it…
The nxt one ——> Xiumeis_bdae_flower white lilies… These are for xiumei’s bdae, cos she’s fair, so tot of choosing these flowers for her…
Now Pict2886 ——> Emily’s send off to the U.K for studies, so in the flower giving phase, i told my ‘indian’ family to give her flowers as well, as her farewell gift… Gave her sunflowers as well, & wrapped it with green wrapper!!! Cos she totally love green…

AS you can see with all your own 2 eyes, tt gals all like flowers no matter wat… If you dun believe, i mean for gals la, ask your bf to get you a bouquet of flowers and hold it in ur arms and walk ard the shopping centre… And you’ll be amazed of wat you’ll see…

Actually, my favourite flowers are lavender, but they are not actually sold here in s’pore… Img_1817 ——> a beautiful purple field of lavender, the calming aroma (meaning like my name; calm…) absolutely wonderful… I had a poem about love and lavender, but cant really remember it, probably if i dig it out, will be able to post it sometime… I also like carnations, because of the shape of the flowers, but too bad they are only for mothers or when visiting patients in the hospital… Sad man… ~_~
So the nxt choice would hve to be tulips, cos of their elegant shape and their sweet smell… They are not exactly very lasting, the most lasting ones, sad to say, are roses… Even when they dry up, the shape is still there…

P.S Gals, remember to try the flower walking… It’ll amaze you… And guys, dun be mean, at least get a bouquet of flowers for your gf…
