If A Girl Cries. .

if a girl cries in front of u, it means that she just can't take it anymore. if you take her hand, she will stay with u for the rest of your life.. but if u let her go, she just can't go back to being herself anymore.. a girl won't cry easily, except in front of the person she loves the most.. she becomes weak. she puts down her ego. guys, if a girl cries because of u, please hold her hands firmly. cos she's the one who is willing to stay with u for the rest of ur life. guys, if a girl cries because of u, please don't give her up. cos because of ur decision, u might ruin her life. when she cries in front of u, when she cries because of u, look into her eyes. can u feel the pain and hurt she's feeling? think. which other girl has ever cried with pure sincerity in front of u and BECAUSE of u.. she cries not because she is weak, she cries not because she wants sympathy or pity. SHE CRIES BECAUSE CRYING SILENTLY IS NO LONGER POSSIBLE. the pain, hurt, and agony have become too big a burden to be kept inside. *interesting bulletins they have on friendster!*

Ditzy Sel

Bi Hui and Ying Kwan's Engagment Party at Grand Mercure Roxy Hotel Oh my god. It took me like 6 months before I realised that you can actually add words to ur picture pile collage like above. Just add a blody caption and the text will automatically appear under the photo as shown. Oh my god. I'm such a ditz. Anyhows, attended this simple and sweet solemnization ceremony last night! It was held at the poolside, very cool, except that it wasn't closed to the public. So it's like there were people swimming and eating and sitting around but they weren't guests of the couple. So weird la. Plus, the food wasn't exactly fantastic, pretty yucky actually, the only saving grace was their desserts, they had yummy cakes. Hee. So nice to attend weddings! Even though this is not like the formal dinner, but it's nice to see them exchange their vows, so lovey-dovey. Awwww. I wish them matrimonial bliss and happiness forever together!

Just random stuff..

Curiosity killed the cat, jealousy killed the girl who loved the boy so much and couldn't stand seeing him thinking about somebody else. Love is meant to be selfish. If love wasn't selfish, then the girl wouldn't be so jealous. Love is wanting the person all to yourself, one and only. Nobody else. Yet love can be so noble. Love makes a person tolerant to another's past, overlook another's shortcomings and be magnimous to take the person back in, even after being hurt over and over again. If you knew the person you love wouldn't be happy with you, would you still hang on to that person, keeping him/her by your side? Or would you let the person go, to find the happiness that should belong to him/her? It all depends on how much you love the other person. Love is a double-edged sword. There's no denying. Selfish yet noble. Irrational yet makes you feel that this is the most logical thing that could happen. Or is it?

I'm an Ice Monster Kid!

Ice Monster!!!! Ok, I know I'm too old to be called a kid. But you know it just wouldn't sound right if I said I was an Ice Monster adult, yeah? Anyhows, I'm telling you guys about this wonderful desert called Ice Monster. Don't ask me why it's called the Ice Monster. I have no idea. Probably because it's so damn huge and it's a monster of an Ice Kachang but minus the Kachang. They use fresh fruit toppings and no syrup, unlike the traditional Ice Kachang and the ice is much much finer than the ones we eat at kopitiams or food courts. It's so damn good!!! The fresh mango is so sweet and together with the fine shaved ice, it just melts in your mouth. *drools* The one you see here is just the normal sized one. They have a super gigantic dinosaur-sized Ice Monster that is SO huge that 4 people can share it, and be super full after that. But it's damnnnnnnn gooooooood..!!!!! Because it has strawberries and mango and kiwi!!! Plus strawberry sherbert / sorbert / whatever. Gahhhh. I can kill to have one RIGHT NOW!!! Urgh. At $4.90 - $7.90 for each, it's not very wallet-healthy to eat it everyday. But but but, it's sooooo damnnnn goooooood. Gahhhhhh. Anyhoos, you can find this Ice Monster shop at Bencoolen. The shop is just opposite Burlington Square. Go go go go and eat it. Wheeee!!!

Take the bus

Haven't been blogging much eh. Because I've been busy working! Muahahahahaha. And thank you for your kind words, it's people like you all who keep me up and going. Love you all! Am recovering too, I take it that developing thick yellowish-green phlegm means I'm on my way to recovery. I mean, anything is better than a dry cough eh? I nearly died coughing on the bus the other day. God, it was so bad and I couldn't cough out loudly lest the other passengers thought I had SARS or TB or something. So I tried to hold it back, like muffle it with my hand, but it got worse and worse and I started tearing. Really felt like I was about to die la. Sadness. I hope it doesn't happen again man. Quite scary. Oh yes, I've been working. Last week I was at Raffles City Convention Centre, working for the International Skeletal Society. Erm, don't ask me what's the Society about. Skeletons and bones, the works, you know, I suppose. *shrugs* Then the next was for the Oracle group or something. They were in Singapore for a holiday as a treat to their top sales people (and their family), so they had a stay in Rasa Sentosa (damn shiok) plus dinners and city tours. And guess what I had to do. Follow the shuttle bus (the company provided shuttle services from Sentosa to Orchard / Little India / Suntec /Chinatown) to and fro Sentosa and the destinations! The best part is, NOBODY takes the shuttle bus! Muahahahahaha. Because they schedule it at such weird timings loh. Where got people 3pm then leave Sentosa to go shopping one? Ok, even if have, where got people come back at 5pm or 6pm to Sentosa one!? You know how long it takes from Sentosa to Grand Hyatt at Orchard? 45 freaking minutes ok? Then shop for 1 hour then catch the last shuttle service back to Sentosa? Boh liao can? So all I had to do was take the shuttle bus from Sentosa to Grand Hyatt, then break for 1 hour (can eat and shop at Far East loh, damn shiok can!) before taking the bus back to Sentosa. And that's if there ARE people who're taking the bus back to Sentosa. If there aren't any passengers, I can leave from there. Unbelievably easy money. For $8 an hour, this is a pretty cushy job. No sweat man! *Grin* No need to face irritating people, stuck-up people, fussy people, or stand for 10 hours, or carry heavy stuff, or wake up at unearthly hours. Muahahahahahaha. Bad thing is, these kind of jobs don't come very often. Bleah. But better than nothing right!
