6:12 pm	very sian can be quite sian sometimes (with the incurable titinus, work stress, etc). its comforting, however when your other half comfortingly tells you to look forward to him taking care of you. sweet! Current Mood: loved (Comment on this)

5:43 pm	The Holiday Watched The Holiday last night. Quite nice! Wished we have some home exchange program... finally, i be off on another holiday to Ho Chi Minh soon. Heard from Ken that Chi Chi Tunnel is not bad but wonder if its worth to see it for one whole day. Perhaps Mekong River Cruise could be an option.. As of now, I am still working to clear the backlog and also have to work on my assignment on outdoor advertising due Tues.. before I am off for my holiday. So much work, so little time!

1:07 pm	Career advancement Its coming to the end of the year and so glad that the AWS is finally here on 11th December. As the new year is going to commence, I am starting to think about my career advancement. As I was cutting my hair yesterday at Reds Salon, I saw that one of my friends in MCS (5 years my senior) is now an Associate Account Director in one of the magazines. I shouldn't then be complacent in my current job though the pay is quite comfortable. As my boss told Jacelyn Tay during our visit to her health club " If you know her pay, you will see no reason why she should complain". However, staying in the same role each and every year without new development will cost me to become like a complacent comfortably cushy potato. Even my boss said: " u are becoming like a tai tai" when he looked at my bag (from Collette) and the many holidays I go to. Anyway, my next move shall either be a regional role or an account director position. No less!! Also, I would not be some kinda 'housewife' or 'tai tai' that some people think I will be settled with because I think a woman should never rely on a man for income and focus on looking after kids (in case anything happens) but more importantly 'cos in doing so, you 'may' stand to lose your individuality (just by focusing on kids kids and becoming so comfortable) and not realising the joy of working and meeting new challenges. Not even if I marry a rich man :) Current Mood: hopeful (2 Comments |Comment on this)

1:15 pm	CaSiNo RoyALe - Quite an adventure Watched "Casino Royale". New James Bond is played by Daniel Craig. The movie's not too bad. He makes a more rugged Bond than pretty and neat Pierce Brosnan who is still clean and neat after a fight! Not too bad, quite enjoy it! Bought a very nice Jap-like kimono top. Gonna wear it in HK :) Current Mood: content (1 Comment |Comment on this)

12:01 am	I miss Bali Seminyak Seashore Sands We sit on the seashore And watch the waves crashing I sit beside my loved one And I look so dashing We looked at each other’s eyes And can’t help the feeling Of our true love together And feel our skin peeling As we move our toes In the soft white sand I look into her eyes And softly caressed her hand We strolled slowly to the shore And she said “then how”? I hugged her gently And said, “why not we renew our vows” We wrote in the white sands The letters that read “I love U” It was then that we said again Our vows: “Love you I do” It was like the first time As we ate tiramisu on our plate We talked about our future And discussed plans for 2008 Night fell and we walked hand-in-hand And we looked at one another There will always be the two of us And there will be no other Current Mood: nostalgic (3 Comments |Comment on this)

11:45 am	TCM doctors - reliable? Had a chat with good pal Jas, and she said that TCM doctors can cure my ear problem. I am a little bit apprehensive to see chinese doctors or take chinese medications.. She recommended as she knows they have cured titinus problems. Titinus - ringing in the ears that does not go away. Even Neil Young also has this problem, so can i really get cured? This high pitch tone........ really does sound like my mobile tone hee I think this is a warning signal that says:" Stop blasting music into my ears". In fact, my new phone has good music quality too. Will miss it. Ah..this morning I saw mitshubishi i. Looks great!! Aiming to buy that! :) Current Mood: giddy (Comment on this)

11:14 pm	Reaping the harvest Life has been good for me, I have been reaping the harvest after choosing the right sector that best brings out the passion i have - travel and phones! The telecommunication industry has been so good to me that I have reaped a harvest for the year end just with the few main accounts. Damn, I am happy and that I have signed a good contract today! More interesting stuff coming up as well... Update on my ear condition: Still bad now. Was improving but yesterday i tried the ear phones again and it worsened. Seems like the ear is more sensitive. Drinking Hot Sake seems to be stimulant to the hair cells that sends the vibration to the auditory nerve and thus, sends the signals of the sound. The damaged hair cells are definitely bent and irritated.. hope they wont be so naughty and can ease a little. Silly me, blasting loud music into my ears.. poor ears now suffer from acoustic trauma. Mistake No. 1- no loud music anymore! Learn from it, and I really will have to listen softly from now on.. argh, no more shiok volumns! Determined to get better!

9:15 pm	The Perfect Man Is there such an ideal partner as "The Perfect Man" for everyone? When we get married, will he or she be necessarily be your "soulmate"? Its hard to say because a couple can only be deemed suitable after going through different phases in life, coping through changes and having a balance of trust and communication. Trust is important, I know... somehow sometimes insecurity within us creeps and it destroys the relationship before it can be built upon a solid foundation based on trust and communication. With frequent arguments and on and off break ups and patch backs, the foundation will turned shaky and the reason to stay on with each other will become lost and unsure. D is not the perfect man either. Much ups and downs are encountered these few months, quarrels and issues abundant.. so I asked him this evening "So u are not perfect, so give me ten good reasons why i shd choose u".. He said," Only Jason Donovan has ten good reasons". He always thinks he is very witty huh.. Well, so i insisted on THREE. Guess what he said? He said:" 1. I will be your para consultant for life. 2. I will sayang you 3. You need someone who can chat with u the whole day (In a way he is right.. because I need someone to advise me..like I am a little girl) Today, a colleague asked me:" Do you always talk like that?" I said: why why, cannot ah. He said: Like a little gal.. I said: I can be serious. Haha.. my colleagues are quite funny guys! Not a bad team.. must treat them to a good meal next, all except AH YAT ABALONE> no thanks! Anyway, recognised that there neither a perfect man nor the ideal man but sometimes how do we know if we are really with the right one? Not to mention men these days can be really creepy. A certain PV I know always say very weird things and behaved weirdly.. somehow like a closet creep.. About ringing in my ears, I think i shall rest my ears and not bother about it anymore. Like Speck says, the more i think about it, the longer it will stay.. So, poof! Get a life, stop worrying and start living. SO to conclude on today's topic, don't attempt to change or mould your other half into someone they are not. We must learn to focus on the positives and not the negatives. The world will be a happier place! Current Mood: thoughtful (2 Comments |Comment on this)

2:07 pm	Blue Monday Still feeling offbeat cos having the flu - ears ringing, blocked nose.. tired and muscle aches..wonder if the ears ringing got to do with the flu as ear block also causes that.. sigh.. sianzzz... Had lunch at some famous duck rice stall at River Valley near St Bernadette Church.. wanted to go to Boon Tong Kee actually. It will be nice to stay around there cos we can go church at St Bernadette. I remembered I used to do carolling in my secondary school days and St bernadette church was one of them. Anyway, Poor D who works long hours most of the time and on weekends.. Engineers need to work harder.. I must say my job is still a good one so far. Anyway, the best thing for me is for the day my ears to stop ringing - that will be the day to call for celebration as its a relief to my troubled self.. I am looking forward to my HK and Vietnam trips.. can't imagine.. going two countries in one month.. The last time I had such a travel was in 2003 when I went to Australia and Japan in the same month. Very Shiok indeed..!! Current Mood: sick (4 Comments |Comment on this)
