I'm seriously contemplating if I should delete this blog? Curz now tht I've reached another milestone in my life and things around me are changing, Insha-Allah for the better, I need to reconsider my past actions.
This blog holds quite abit of memories but most of them are memories tht I'd rather bury under the hatchet and keep on going.
Because these memories are already etched in my mind forever, thus needing NO reason to be kept alive with the words and pictures posted here.
However, yet again, I shall procrastinate and maybe wait till the date whereby everythg gets fixed den I make a firm decision? Hehe.
So far this week I've not gone back to work curz I've fallen seriously ill. Some kind of strange fever which keeps coming back and spiking up very high to a range of 38.1 till 39.0 degrees. Its baffling. And a need for concern.
I've had the fever since Wednesday, and even on Saturday, with the function going on and all I spent the entire day on my bed, sleeping, resting and basically trying to breathe!!
Thus on Monday I decided to go consult the doctor at SATA & take a blood test as well. Test results came back yesterday and nothing wrong. Alhamdulillah. Just a viral flu. But I was given another 2 days mc. Hehe.
So altogether, 4 days MC this week! Cool or what?
The centre is undergoing utter peril.But. My goodness I was too sick to even ask how they're coping curz the fever brought along with it a bee-yatch of a headache tht one side of my head was pounding. Awful experience.
Beautiful Kites! & Beautiful Sky!
I just wanted to stay there and look at the sky.But we had to keep on moving.Haiz.

Am much better now. Hopefully this blocked nose gets cured too and I shall be as chirpy as ever =)))
Marina Barrage on a Good Friday
Marina Barrage on a Good Friday
Beautiful Kites! & Beautiful Sky!
I just wanted to stay there and look at the sky.But we had to keep on moving.Haiz.
Wow. Today marks exactly 2 months since I last blogged here.Haha.
Tht's kinda miserable but also shows how awfully busy I've become as of late. Especially this year,work has kinda evolved triple-fold. I'm even more tired and exhausted after work. If I head back straight after work, all I do is laze, not exercise, surf the net, chat and talk on the phone. GEEEEEZ.
Well, nothing's changed much in life. Still same old drama, same old story, same old issues. Just tht more people (New People) have been added to the masala called MY LIFE. I've been blessed (or cursed - depends on what angle I wanna look at it from) to meet new people. Meeting new people is quite fun though. I get to see a perspective abt life or things from a totally different set of lenses. Its been kinda eye-opening for me. However, the only dreary thought tht's been pulling me down is abt my theory tht I'm fated to encounter certain sad stuff in life again and again. I'm still waiting for the cycle to end or smthg. No idea when things are gonna be ok.
Oh btw, I've been thinking alot abt going back to studying again. I wanna get another degree curz I always believe tht we shdn't let go of our quest for knowledge. I seriously wanna study....But parents definitely not letting me do that. And I need time PLUS moolah for tht. Heh.
Well, I shall keep everyone updated abt tht....Insha-Allah =)))

Happy New Year one and all!!
I am like 14 days late, but what the heck.hehe.Tht's me on New Year's Day. =)))
Ah. A new year and new everythg. Well,not really. Curz I'm still in my old job and still have old mindset and etc etc etc. Only thing new is tht I wear make-up, as in FULL make up more often now! Hahaha.
Ok la...tht and the fact tht I'm beginning to make myself to think like a 25 yr old!
Can u believe it? I'm gonna be 25 this yr!!!! OMG. Thts like....OMG.
I mean, I don't even feel anythg like 25. I don't behave maturely, don't speak maturely, heck, I don't even dress maturely. Of curz la, my dressing surpasses maturity and lands me right smack in the middle of AUNTIE-ness. Haha.
But there are like other ppl, not even 25 or just 25 and all successful and settled and MATURE. Heh. Like e.g. Lady Gaga. HEHEHE.
Haiz. I seriously need to settle down soon. And its just not happening! Dunno what's wrong. Maybe I shd devote myself to praying for tht 24/7?Hmmm....Not sure.
Newayz, I stopped blogging here for sometime due to time issues and curz some friends told me not to blog. Said smthg abt all this affecting me later on in life. But nowadays I don't blog abt much personal stuff. Can't be bothered to also. Maybe general stuff like this and abt my interests shd be ok la.
Okie, gtg and put freshly laundered clothes in cupboard & cut up some charts to use as classroom display materials. Till the next time...
*Huggies to whoever is even bothering to read this*
=))))
Since I'm at it, I might as well update as much as I can before I lapse back into my laziness or I get subsumed by other wordly affairs.
We, as in me, Diya & Antonine decided to throw Mona a hen party. A mini one but a special one at tht. First step was to arrange a date with her. Which we did. Den was to arrange where to go,what to do,what to buy,etc. All this was done via smses. Lotsa them. I sooo love it tht we managed to organize smthg for her. And I'm glad I saw a few pics of what to do in one of my Uni classmate's Facebook. hahaha...FaceBook does come of use sometimes aye?
So the plan was to get her dressed up in some cutesy stuff and we wanted to just cut her a cake. It was to be a simple yet fun affair. I mean, our company is just enuff to have fun what! Haha. So simple and fun we did.
We 3 met up earlier on the 14th Nov, Sat den went to eat first. Haha...and of curz bought the tiara first.
Since Diya is such a devoted CBTL employee, and I was super-duper hungry, so we decided to go eat at Coffe Bean. I had myself a yummy sandwich and so did Antonine. Diya had some curry puff thingy tht had her coughing badly due to the flakiness of the puff. I learnt smthg new abt TurboChef and normal microwaves on tht day. =))
Oh by the time we finished eating, and shopping for Mona's surprise gift [a saucy lingerie set], it was almost time to meet her. We den trooped to Body Shop at Bugis and wandered ard, purchasing stuff and etc. We had still had to get a boa for her...and I knew just the place for it. But the thing was tht we had to distract her whilst I slip in and get it. Well, Diya & Antonine did manage to distract her. But she still saw it and we had to fib our way thru and say tht it was for my children's concert. Of curz she didn't believe me curz she knew jolly well tht my concert was over. Hahah...nevertheless we tried!!
Soon after, we had to go look for a nice restaurant at Arab Street. U see, my friends and I, both this grp and even Shahida & all, we don't go Arab St, unlike some other friends tht I know. One thing curz we kinda don't like the atmosphere, etc...for many reasons la. So we were like not sure where to go. But in my mind, the perfect place was the ones where they have like little rooms where we can go celebrate and eat. Well, tht was in my mind, and also from some girl's photos I saw online...she was my poly classmate. haha. But I forgot the restaurant name. So we 4 walked ard, and for the 1st time in our lives, we got a sneak peek into the alleys of Little Arab. It was interesting. Lotsa lotsa teenagers tho! And we walked up into one restaurant and omg...so the sleazy la!! Youngsters sprawled on couches, smoking sheesha and making out. YUCKS!! What more, right at the entrance. Ewww!
We tracked one entire round around Arab Street, went towards the side tht Zam Zam is at, den trooped back to Bussorah Street. And finally ended up at Pyramids Restaurant. For all pics, go to my Facebook and see. Lazy to upload here and neway I don't have them pics. Its uploaded by Antonine. Still waiting for Mona to upload from her camera too.

The Happy Hen =)))
But all I can say tht it was an awesome night. Our celebration went well, and from Arab Street, it tracked to Geylang Serai market...den to Tampines. And it ended at The Cafe Cartel at Tampines One. Heh.
Such a good outing. I like. =))) And I'm happy tht Mona enjoyed it all.
I can't wait for her wedding now...yay! But of curz a lil' sad tht she'll be leaving singledom soon...Hmmm...
I wish her all the best in her new journey. =)))
Newayz, since things relaxed around the workplace for a while, I indulged in some phototaking here and there....Here are some to share with ya all...

The day I took this pic I actually wanted to take a full length shot curz I sooo love the top I was wearing.From Cotton On.Hehe...But never get the chance la.Too paiseh to ask my colleagues to help me take a shot. =)))

About 3 days after the concert, my Mum had received a couple of Kek Lapis from some ppl she knows. And since she had just cleared the fridge of our Huge Kek Lapis from Eid, she didn't want to open up the other cakes so soon. Thus I decided to be magnanimous to my kiddos and share one of the kek lapis with them.
I brought it to school the next day and before cutting it, I told [or rather fibbed] to the kids to sing me a birthday song. I didn't say tht it was my birthday tht day, just asked them to sing. Den aft tht we sang for another teacher, just in the name of fun. And sang for the janitor uncle curz it was truly gonna be his birthday within the next few days, on 7th Nov.
So, songs were sung. Cake was cut. Cake was distributed and eaten.
DEN.....
On Friday the 6th Nov, when I reached the centre, the janitor uncle asked me if it was my birthday tht day. I said nope and tht mine had been in September. He just nodded his head and left my classroom. When I brought my class out for breakfast, I saw 2 cakes sitting on my class's eating table. I asked the Uncle if there were 2 cakes curz one might not be enuff for the entire sch....He shook his head No and gestured tht one cake was for a boy and one was for ME. I was like "Huh??"...Den it dawned upon me tht my little fun a few days before had turned somehow serious. Apparently one of the boys in my class, whose birthday was gonna be celebrated on tht Friday had told his parents tht it had been my birthday a few days ago and I had shared a cake with the class. HAHAHA!! OMG.
Ok. I felt awful curz this shows the kids are super gullible and what more the parents are generous too.
The cake. For me. Not on my birthday tho. Heh.
The boy who brought the cake in for me...He has his own cake beside him.
Us & our cakes.
Neway, I didn't cut the cake. only took pics with it. Since it was gonna be the Uncle's birthday the next day, I asked him to cut it instead. Curz actually the cake was for both me and him!! Haha...it came with a card in which the boy had written a birthday message for us both. Hehe. So sweet!!! I shall not forget my new birthday date. Hehe!!

I think I can join the leagues of lazy bloggers now...or rather the "Too-tired-to-blog-abt-what-I-ate-dr
Sometimes when I think of blogging and I don't get around to it, I wonder why. And I realize its curz I didn't feel like sharing tht particularly interesting vignette of info with anyone. Well, its probably interesting to me but might not be to someone else. Okiez, no long entry today. Gonna keep it short and simple.
Since the end of the concert I've been quite busy with wrapping up things for end of the year. And all of us at work are still kinda in the dancing mood. It was worse around 3rd November...haha...almost everyday we were dancing ard to various songs. To the culmination of a "concert in-house rehearsal" yesterday on the last day of the term. Haha. So now our dancing mood and concert fever has ebbed! Like finally!!!
This was taken outside PS, before the entrance of Dhoby Ghaut.
Tht night after the concert, we went to eat together with my colleague, Amutha [yes yes...the Vasantham Star finalist.hehe!!] Den we met Mona's friend who wanted to interview us on video for a video clip tht he's gonna play during her wedding come 6th Dec. It was quite interesting and kinda nerve-wrecking for me...eventho Mona told her friend tht I'm a "eloquent talker"...hahaha!
Aft tht shooting, we went to indulge (my) cravings at Ben & Jerry's at The Cathay...took this pic, and off we headed home. =)))
And den to relax, I had some lil' fun with my kiddos at work...
This flower was worn by one of the Pre-Nursery children for their concert performance. One of them has an older who is in my class and who decided to adorn herself with all her sister's accessories to school the following day. So I took away the flower and wore it all day. Hehe...
Den I put on reindeer antlers at the request of one of the girl's in my class who had brought it in. She even wanted me to take pics with it...hehe...oh well. Entertainer I am. =)))

Omg. Its been quite long since I updated here. I keep telling myself tht I will constantly update but I just seem to be pre-occupied with so many things to do!Or rather just being on Facebook. Haha.
Yeaaa...everyone is addicted to it. Except some ppl. I used to NOT be addicted to it. Till recently when I reconnected with some friends and made some new ones via Facebook.
Hmmm...been quite busy with work basically. We had our year end graduation which went really well. I do have to thank Diya, Azman & Antonine plus Safia my cousin, for coming down to help me. Furthermore, I only contacted Antonine & Safia the day before, and they did come down despite it being so last minute. Thank God they came. Curz actually the Friday before the concert [which was on a Sunday], the higher ups decided to put a whole new set of responsibility on me.
Because, suddenly...they realize tht I have played a part in the rehearsals of the play after all??!!! Wah lao. I was soo angry. Curz the day before tht, we had our monthly meeting, and my name wasn't even mentioned nor was I acknowledged for helping out in the rehearsals. I was fuming but I kept my mouth shut curz I was upset over the class allocation for next year anyway.
Den promptly on Friday, when I stood aside as they were putting up the props for the final scene which was the Nativity play [I was too angry to help out anymore]....at the end of it,they come to me and ask me to help to do the "Follow-Spot" on the actual day...which is the HUGE spotlight which focuses on one scene by one scene. Which means I would have to leave my class at the backstage,run up to the lighting room at NAFA, do the spotlight den run back down to my class to bring them out for the finale??!!...And the finale is right after the play and my class is the 2nd class to come out??!!!....Argh. I got mad. I said NO. But they said not to worry,they will send this tchr and tht tchr to help.
Guess what?End of the day....Only the one who was assissting me, Amu was left with the kids. Haiz.
But the saving aspect of tht day was tht my kids did exceptionally well!! Hehe. Thank God!!Sooo happy =)))
Ok.thts now done and over with.
Gotta live my life...without hopes,dreams and wishes. Hmmm...

Now for an upbeat entry...Let's talk abt FOOD!! I like food alot. Well, who doesn't eh? [Except Maybe those weight watchers and diet-ers...]
I'm gonna make a list of MY favourite types of food, from my taste-ing experience all over the world. Here are the best of the BEST [according to my tastebuds!]...
~Best Chappati~
Location: India
Note: When I went to India a few years back, my parents and I went to visit my Mum's best friend's place, but the lady wasn't in and only her 2 daughters were. They are Gujarati's btw...and not letting us go off without eating, they cooked a whole set of food for us. And the best item? The chappatis!!! OMG. They're fabulous, thin and round wheat pancakes, tenderly cooked over the pan, they are nothing like the cardboard like chappatis we can find in Sg restaurants/coffee shops. [We cook chappati at home too but ntgh can beat tht from my Mum's friend's place.]
~Best Laddoo~
Location: A sweet shop thts located at the foyer entrance of Little India Arcade, manned by an old man. I seriously dunno if the old man still mans it or if its someone else, but I know the shop is there for sure. Plus, try Komala Villas's laddoos too. They're seriously good.
~Best Palkova~
Location: Same shop as above. Komala Villas's isn't tht good compared to tht shop.
~Best Gulab Jamun~
Location: India, a town called Kombakkanam. They sell one of the best ones, and they even sell dried Gulab Jamuns!! Yep, minus the syrup but still AS sweet and as Good. For a quick fix in Sg for tht sweet tooth, try Anandha Bhavan or once again, Komalas. But Komalas' has too much of the rose syrup taste which kinda deflects the round gulab's taste.
~Best Fish & Chips~
Location: For traditional or inventive FIsh & Chips, I will always recommend Fish & Co. Their traditional is good....But what I recommend is the New York Fish & Chips.It comes with fried slices of fish and cheese all over the fish just underneath the batter. Ooohhh!! I'm practically going hungry just typing abt it. Yum yum! Anyone wanna go Fish & Co soon???
~Best Shawarma~
Location: Shawarma is a traditional Middle-Eastern sandwich, with slices of lamb, chicken or fish laid on top of fresh veggies, and all wrapped with a pita bread. Its awesome...and the best one ever is at Amirah's Grill at Arab Street. Well,not really Arab Street, but somewhere in Little Arab la. The next street I think.
~Best Apple Pie~
Location: Ok, this one I really gotta admit I've forgotten where I tasted tht oh-so-awesome traditional apple pie...but boy was I impressed curz all this while I had tasted only Apple Pie from MacD's and traditional home-baked apple pie's by Mum and Aunt's. If I recall where I tasted tht awesome traditional apple pie, I'll let ya all know!!
~Best Middle Eastern Tea~
Location: Once again, Amirah's Grill takes 1st place. Their special Arabian tea is served in a lil' pot, with cute lil' cups. And its heavily scented with cinnamon and dunno what other spices. Its amazing, I tell u. Well, I've always stuck to my cup of chai with Milk and I don't like to try new things. But this one was fantastic.
~Best Ice-Cream~
Location: Now, this is a toss-up btw Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough [can be purchased locally] and the Movenpick ice-cream I ate atop the Swiss Alps. The Strawberry Movenpick ice-cream tasted tht much better curz I was devouring it at a cool cool location, amidst swirling snow and chilly winds.
~Best Waffles (with ice-cream)~
Location: GELARE!! Hands down. Add any flavoured ice-cream to their waffles, and bathe it in maple syrup or chocolate syrup and voila! Ur in waffle-heaven instantenously!
~Best Hot Chocolate~
Location: Best ever is Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf [so Diya, now u know what to get for me each time I visit u at CBTL eh? Hehe...]
~Best Fries~
Location: At home!!! I love the Cavendish Flavor Crisp Spicy fries. I make it a point to buy it back home if I go to NTUC for errands. Try it and lemme know how u like it =)))
~Best Chocolate Cake~
Location: Cedele Cafe, Chocolate Truffle Cake.
Note: Now, I'm not a fan of cakes curz I just don't like them at allll. But this cake...ah..Give it to me anytime baybeh! It is sooo delish. Grab it and savour it okie?
~Best Pavlova~
Location: Cedele Cafe.
Note: Try it once and surrender to the sweet tragedy of a pavlova. Ummm~~ Try it to feel it.
Okkaayyy...Thts all for my food craze for today. I would love to adorn this entry with pics of the food but am running outta time. GOtta hit the sack for my beauty sleep. Stay tuned for more!!
I'm gonna make a list of MY favourite types of food, from my taste-ing experience all over the world. Here are the best of the BEST [according to my tastebuds!]...
~Best Chappati~
Location: India
Note: When I went to India a few years back, my parents and I went to visit my Mum's best friend's place, but the lady wasn't in and only her 2 daughters were. They are Gujarati's btw...and not letting us go off without eating, they cooked a whole set of food for us. And the best item? The chappatis!!! OMG. They're fabulous, thin and round wheat pancakes, tenderly cooked over the pan, they are nothing like the cardboard like chappatis we can find in Sg restaurants/coffee shops. [We cook chappati at home too but ntgh can beat tht from my Mum's friend's place.]
~Best Laddoo~
Location: A sweet shop thts located at the foyer entrance of Little India Arcade, manned by an old man. I seriously dunno if the old man still mans it or if its someone else, but I know the shop is there for sure. Plus, try Komala Villas's laddoos too. They're seriously good.
~Best Palkova~
Location: Same shop as above. Komala Villas's isn't tht good compared to tht shop.
~Best Gulab Jamun~
Location: India, a town called Kombakkanam. They sell one of the best ones, and they even sell dried Gulab Jamuns!! Yep, minus the syrup but still AS sweet and as Good. For a quick fix in Sg for tht sweet tooth, try Anandha Bhavan or once again, Komalas. But Komalas' has too much of the rose syrup taste which kinda deflects the round gulab's taste.
~Best Fish & Chips~
Location: For traditional or inventive FIsh & Chips, I will always recommend Fish & Co. Their traditional is good....But what I recommend is the New York Fish & Chips.It comes with fried slices of fish and cheese all over the fish just underneath the batter. Ooohhh!! I'm practically going hungry just typing abt it. Yum yum! Anyone wanna go Fish & Co soon???
~Best Shawarma~
Location: Shawarma is a traditional Middle-Eastern sandwich, with slices of lamb, chicken or fish laid on top of fresh veggies, and all wrapped with a pita bread. Its awesome...and the best one ever is at Amirah's Grill at Arab Street. Well,not really Arab Street, but somewhere in Little Arab la. The next street I think.
~Best Apple Pie~
Location: Ok, this one I really gotta admit I've forgotten where I tasted tht oh-so-awesome traditional apple pie...but boy was I impressed curz all this while I had tasted only Apple Pie from MacD's and traditional home-baked apple pie's by Mum and Aunt's. If I recall where I tasted tht awesome traditional apple pie, I'll let ya all know!!
~Best Middle Eastern Tea~
Location: Once again, Amirah's Grill takes 1st place. Their special Arabian tea is served in a lil' pot, with cute lil' cups. And its heavily scented with cinnamon and dunno what other spices. Its amazing, I tell u. Well, I've always stuck to my cup of chai with Milk and I don't like to try new things. But this one was fantastic.
~Best Ice-Cream~
Location: Now, this is a toss-up btw Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough [can be purchased locally] and the Movenpick ice-cream I ate atop the Swiss Alps. The Strawberry Movenpick ice-cream tasted tht much better curz I was devouring it at a cool cool location, amidst swirling snow and chilly winds.
~Best Waffles (with ice-cream)~
Location: GELARE!! Hands down. Add any flavoured ice-cream to their waffles, and bathe it in maple syrup or chocolate syrup and voila! Ur in waffle-heaven instantenously!
~Best Hot Chocolate~
Location: Best ever is Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf [so Diya, now u know what to get for me each time I visit u at CBTL eh? Hehe...]
~Best Fries~
Location: At home!!! I love the Cavendish Flavor Crisp Spicy fries. I make it a point to buy it back home if I go to NTUC for errands. Try it and lemme know how u like it =)))

ABYSS (noun):
a deep immeasureable space, gulf or cavity; vast chasm (Dictionary.com)
Right now, I feel like I'm in one now, falling thru and never seeing nor being able to feel the ground beneath me. My life has been a never-ending abyss of pain for the past few years. Its affected and still affecting me so badly tht I feel so sad and miserable.
I have a strange (mis)conception tht I shd NEVER let anyone see how low I feel or how sad I am. And mostly I don't. I've almost never cried in front of my friends nor family. The weak moments when I did, they have been rare. Very rare.
But right now I feel like crying and crying. I do cry at small things curz thts the softie in me, tht nurturing and caring piece of me tht is so natural. However, this crying tht I want to do is a whole different thing. Its to mourn, wallow in self-grief, in self-pity, to commiserate with myself. Curz I'm seriously beginning to think tht I've hit a dead-end in my life. I've never had to face the kind of crap I'm facing. And no matter how much I pray and pray and pray and pray, the issues don't seem to be getting solved.
I wish so many things had never occured in my life. Curz if they hadn't, den I won't be in this state of mental mess nor would I feel the way I feel now. It sucks to lead my life the way it has become now. I wish I didn't have to lead this kind of life. I try not to be pessimistic and am always striving for positivism and am always encouraging those ard me to be like tht.
However, unfortunately, I've got no one to impart such advice to me. It sucks to be me sometimes. Curz when I need tht crying shoulder, or tht advice giver, I have no one. Everyone is only GOOD at telling me to "Move on" or "Forget it ever happened" or to "Look for something to do". Maybe ppl don't have the same thinking as me. But thts what makes it better for them right?? Curz when they come to me, I make sure I don't give CRAP advice like tht.
I hate it tht I have to go thru so many incidents in life and gain tht shit called "experience". Curz for everybody's info, and even God's info, I don't need NO experience anymore. I've had ENUFF. Enuff of crap experiences. Enuff of silly people. Enuff of emotions and feelings. I wish I can escape to an alternate world tht has nthg to give me headaches and misery.
In recent weeks, my headaches have intensified and transformed into migraines. There are times tht when I'm on the train or bus, walking, or even just standing still in the lift, tht I feel like fainting. I get dizzy and I have to keep blinking to stabilize myself. I've NEVER been like tht, EVER. Its started curz of all the crap tht keeps flying towards me, day in day out.
All I ask for is for this misery to END. Right now.
-a very sad ME-
