My best friend's Wedding Part II

cond' from Dec 2006

3 gals having a time of their lives beinging single

at someone elses wedding.

kekke....

OH CaRo| i m but a F0oL.....

after so long then i realised i was the biggest dummy in the whole world...
Ahat a fool i was....
I finally remembered why i din't wanna be in any relationship all tis while...
I almost forgot but i remember now...
How stupid of me to desire something i couldn't handle... such as love.
You're rite, i should have jus waited for me to grow up somemore...
I'm still a child, n children dun fall in love...

sigh...

To you out there....
i hope u find that person who understands u... cos i dun, i never did, and probably won't.
i hope u find that person who loves u... cos i did, now i can't, and maybe won't be able to.

i'm sure u'll be happy in the future ahead. i seek no more of answers i will not receive. i understand there r things beyond comprehension. I wish u all the best once again. take care.

if friendship is still desired, i freely give, and patiently await to receive.

I HATE tis stupid TONSIL of mine!!!!

OMG!! i can't take tis throbbing head squeeze any longer... 40.3 degrees celsius! I feel like my whole head's gonna explode!! someone pls remove this pair of tonsils from my throat!!

Been having a fever high of 40.3 and low of 39.3 degrees celsius. Can't believe I'm still alive! Went to A&E tis morning @ 2am. Doc said I was having a case of an "ACUTE TONSILITIS" NO! they're NOT CUTE at all ok?!!? The plumb residents are slouching comfortably at the back of my mouth, like couch potatoes having a time of their lives. Every time I swallow, I feel as though they're having a party inside breaking bottles n stuff! Oh God... wat agony! I end up drooling on the pillow like a silly baby when I sleep cos subconsciously I refuse to swallow. *yike*

What's more?! Bodyaches caused by the thermometer breaking temperature! I can't sleep properly due to a constant aching pain on the neck and back and head and shoulders and ALL OVER!! To make things worse I had to worry if my time sheet has been submitted otherwise i'll be starving till end of the month! Argh! Of all times...!? Why fall ill now?! *sigh*

Finally friday all grey skies cleared! rainbow was out!! Except for some mild migrain intermittently, I'd say i'm glad i'm ok now... GOOD RIDDENS!! I nv wanna experience that again... so i'm going for my surgery soon... so BYE BYE tonsils!! NEVER wanna see you again!! *bleh*

happy HAPPY happy HAPPY happy

i'm feeling exhilarated.

confident, happy, soaring!!!

not bcos my prob is resolved but

cos i've overcomed my own mind..

total control over my own life.

no more emotional basket case.

bye bye moodswings...

happy is my middle name.

pistachio is my chinese name.

happy bouncing bunny is my nick name.

wat's yours?

keke....

r u happy?

love need not be understood

Love is not to be understood.

That's why it's called love.

Why else has people DEFIED LOGIC to love?

Sacrificed to love? Died in the name of love?

If love is to be understood, it is no longer love.

If love can be worked out by maths

or possess repeatibility like science, it is not love.

Thus the greatest answer you can ever have in true love is "I don't know"

Enjoy it while it lasts...

Mourn not its departure for

sooner than later it shall re-appear.

p/s: Just remember that if you harbour hate in your heart,

love will dock elsewhere!

anyone agree? let's hear ur opinions....

MY FIRST TRIATHLON

Pre tri jitters...
Its 10:56pm - i'm suppose to sleep but i'm here typing.... (-_-)"' haiz...

I can sleep thought i'm tired... nervous yet excited... I think my stomach is going to regurgitate all those bananas n water i had. i feel nauseas. ok think i'm going to bed. nitez...

Tri morning....
Morning woke up at 645am... walked zombiely to toilet, had bananas n water again... feel like puking, can't stand the sight of them.. yike! waited for sue at mac to pick me up.

Event - Asia's First Women Triathlon
We got there 5 mins b4 the race started prep our stuff at the transition area then got our no. writen in a hurry then scrubbling our way to the starting point. we were the 1st wave for our event (sprint dist. ; swim 750m, cycle 20km, run 5 km), sue was saying our rush was sorta our warm up. keke...
Eunice Olsen flaged us off n a whole bunch off ladies dashed into the sea... hands scouring like ridding vegetation... legs kicking.... all for their own survival in water....

Once outta water, i scrumbled to the bike, looked out for sue she was waiting for me as promised. helmat, socks, shoes, no. tag, and i scooted off.... alamak!! my water!! drats! i'm gonna thrist for this 20k... that sue in the foreground!! she always my supported n i am hers!! GO GIRL!!

With that we zoomed off. I had a shaky start but the man behind the camera cheered me on... "slowly ade, STEADY! u can do it! look in straight in front..." yelled yusman. i caught up to sue cos she was aiting for me keke (so sweet rite? *muck*) and we journeyed the 20k together she behind me toking to me, cheering me on... (i wanted to put the silly P plate on my back to warn other riders i couldn't find one keke...) other riders were very encouraging too... as they zoomed pass me on my right (slower riders keep left / over takers keep right) they'd yell " COME ON LADIES U CAN DO IT!!"

WOW such power n zest! i was almost flat even b4 the 5k U turn point...

OMG?!?!? i still have to do the U turn?!?!

As i approached, pp instructed to slow down n i did. The bicycle started to wobble n they said "keep ur hands straight" i listened. My mind all focused on the U turn I slowly paddled with an appropriate tilt of the handle, I DID IT!! WOOHOO!!!! i U turned!! wow the feeling was the power boost i needed to continue the race... sue was right behind me n we both cheered each other on....

Remembering the 1st time i rode a bicycle in east coast i couldn't even stop properly... now i could even U turn... hahaha.... for someone who have jus learnt the skill i would say kudos!! won't u not? keke.... *pat* *pat*

Well that was jus the first round only the first 10k we have another 10k to go...

Suddenly, b4 we could even reach back the starting point it started to rain cats n dogs (initially then its seems the all hell broke loose in the zoo) the rain was so heavy i couldn't even open my eyes properly but what the hack! the race must continue... then i realised my phone was left in the bag left open. And i tot there goes my phone... haiz...

SO anyways in a nutshell, the race was cancelled when we arrived back at the starting point (timing was 1hour 15mins - no official timing to prove... wat a waste!) nvm that my legs were so wobbly i couldn't even push my bike let alone RUN 5k! haha!! i was indeed relieved but still disappointed i couldn't finish the race... meaning NO CERT!! but we still got our porceline medals (unique huh?)

But for the fun of it we took pictures of us at the finishing line, and at the prizze giving stand. keke...

I HAD LOADS OF FUN !!! That's for sure!! I'd do tis any time!!

~~~ L O V E ~~~

If someone say to u "love is simple",
I'll tell u, its not.
It can nv be simple,
Cos we're dealing with humans.
And humans like to complicate things.

If someone tells u "love is from the heart"
I'll tell u, its both mind n heart.
Bcos its with both mind n heart,
That's why its so complicated.
And humans like to complicate things.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

with love, you can conquered all difficulties,

with love, you can triump over evil.

with love, differences can become similarities.

because...

LOVE is patient, LOVE is kind,

LOVE is never jealous nor is it boastful or conceited,

LOVE is never rude or selfish,

LOVE does not take offences and it is not resentful.

LOVE is like the wind, you can not see it but you can feel it.

___________________________________________________________________

This little poem ain’t no boring
Could use some tissues but surely not snoring
Lend me your ears, that’s all I need
open your mouths, so you still can eat.

Pls bear with me and these terrible rhymes
I wrote it in such a very short time
So now pls listen carefully
For what I say I say sincerely

Little hands & little feet
Dancing jumping to the beat
Hugging teasing tickling playing
Shouting crying and even BITING

Breaking voice, its puberty
Before you know it, there’s RIVALRY
Endless squabbles, a bickering pair
Day n night, we didn’t care

In came the 20s, in a blink
End of war or so you think
Row after row, we had no break
That’s just how we communicate

Mellowed down the brawling did
When we found no point in it
Then our lives grew far apart
But in our minds, we’re close at heart

Many good times we had together
Teaching learning from one another
Patient & tolerant he’ll always be
A true role model for crazy me.

We learned to love
From the one above
And now for everyone to see
Our bond’s as strong as a great oak tree

Man of God he surely is
May God bless this union bliss
Grant them riches & his favour
Keep them safe n do remember
Put God first in whatever you do
What you start, he’ll follow thru’

This is my prayer and that’s the end
In Jesus name we say ‘AMEN’

从前有对小兄妹　天天争吵不说累
打打闹闹甚至咬　害得爸妈真苦恼
玩耍胡闹开始疯　玩具家具满屋扔
读书又读得不好　藤条一触没得跑

长大发育跟糟高　喊打喊杀还拿刀
妹妹输了只好哭　哥哥只会装无辜
大人看见骂哥哥　妹妹站着笑呵呵
不服气说不公平　让让妹妹行不行

少年时期最难忘　兄妹叛逆又狂妄
哥哥少年最刺激　驾车技术相F一
妹妹顶嘴No. 1　一巴掌又躲又闪
玩归玩不伤和气 要道歉但没勇气

二十几岁成年人 说的笑话非常冷
说着说着几年后 哥哥带回女朋友
美丽大方的嘉文 肯定迟早娶过门
三年过二零零六 终于献花吃牛肉

滨海湾他跪下求 钻戒一枚快加油
一年后的那一天 白婚纱长发披肩
一步一步走向前 面对面许下誓言
永远合乎伴一生 生老病死永不分

说到此必定祷告 赞美主最高荣耀
二人同心敬拜主 完全献给主耶稣
愿主保佑两平安 恩赐财富和健康
奉主名里的万能 大家一起说阿门

GOOD DIVE on GOOD FRIDAY

Finally my First dive trip in 2007 and a long weekend... i'm so blessed, so fortunate. THANK YOU GOD! thanks dennis...

seeing all the people i miss felt good.

Excited yet apprehensive. My only fear was my incompetence and i try too hard. The divers are friendly (luckily), eveything went smooth.. mini bus driver was a 'F1 racer', everything was as usual even the jellyfishes.

It was no easy task taking divers on course for trips but i managed, and i'm proud of myself. Waters were exceptionally rough on the way to dayang. Strong currents towards NW direction, so rayners rocks and captains point were unfortunate misses for them but a close shave for me. Thank God. keke...

I had my fair share of headachers yoyo-ing in the water pulling divers down, seeing only divers and water and occationally fishes, but it was worth it. These lively, witty, entertaining lot kept me going, never once complained, even with pain in their ears, heads and even tooth

(rare sightings) they made me laugh.

Whenever the afternoon sun fell, the volleyball teams came out to play; Divers vs the Islanders. Never in my life I felt so compelled to watch the game. In my dictionary hard round things made of leather usually lands on my head/face more than my hands or feet.

Therefore it was never my forte.

I could not see how I would not have enjoyed myself (aside from the itchiness from the jellyfish stings which was almost killing me at first) when there was such a great bunch of people. All i've left to say is

THANK you GOD ITS good FRIDAY!


Kudos To

Sean's excellent volleyball skills,

Glenn's subtle witty remarks,

Terence's loud verbal diarrhoea,

Stephanie's cheerful n bubbly character,

JianLi's BIG bright eyes and smile,

Stella's sweet and demure nature,

Alan's spotting sportsmanship,

Elwin's noisy dining and

Edwin's unintentional mishaps.

post london syndrome

Nothing beats having insufficiant sleep. I thought i would never get jet lag but i was wrong... i'm having delayed reactions. my eyes are puffy and panda even accused me of making fun of his dark eyes. Lethagy has taken over me in the day and energy (not the pop band) ruled me in the nite... my bio clock is all up side down. Plus i just got a new assignment by Re. Ex. n I'm all wasted once i reach home in the afternoon. Can't even bring myself to do anything. Oh I need sleep..... ..... zzz ..zz .z. .z. .zzzz. .z.z...z.z.z.z....... nite...

I simply can't wait to embark on this exciting journey i'm abt to take. To be able to do wat I've always wanted to do; Tattoo, dying rediculars colours on my hair, learning French and japanese, chinese Opera, ballroom dancing.

But B4 all that i'm going for a holiday to visit my dad in china where its super cold this year i heard; 8 - 10 degress. I've never experienced weather at such climate b4 so i can't even imagine wat it'll be like when i'm going to visit my godma in LONDON! more stories when i come back from london. keke.... as for now all the excitement has gotten me hungry... i'm gonna find some food now...

cao.

a Mind toggling book

hey guys, just a food for thought... read the following then tell me wat u think...

Wat defines Crazy? let me tell u a story...

There was an evil wizard in a kingdom far away, he wants to overthrown the king and take over the kingdom, So he poison the water the in the common well where everyone drinks from. Soon everyone who drinks it went crazy doing very irrational things. While the king remained sane as he has a seperate well away from the commoners. When the king realised the things his people were doing he ordered them to be put away. But bcos even the policemen were also crazy so the policemen didnot follow the king's orders. The King was angry but did not know wat to do. Finally the Queen suggested "why dun we drink from the same well as them so we can all live as one again?" Hence the king agreed and the whole kingdom live happily ever after.

so my question to is...
"if i'm acting different from u, am I crazy?"
"if I do not conform to the norm in the society? AM I CRAZY?"

If u wanna know the answer to all my Questions read 'VERONIKA DECIDES TO DIE" by PAULO COELHO.
