Case 1: U r driving along a fairly busy road one afternoon n while the traffic is moving smoothly, suddenly all cars just come to a halt. And for the longest time u din know wat causes the halt but u do hear cars honking like crazy. Along came a girl running out of a shop to a car abt 6m in front of ur car, n the cars began flowing like b4. The said girl parked her car now beside the road, came out of it n walk stylishly across the road like she did not do anything wrong!

Case 2: I js went to tis parenting n nutrition talk tis afternoon. 1 of the speakers talked abt upbringing/parenting skills play an importan role in children's displine, lifestyle n character. Tis auntie who came with her kids nodded in dire agreement. Yeah sure, cos rite after the talk, she jumped a long queue to approach the speaker for a private session. Yup, the speaker did also mention abt setting an example.

Case 3: While moving out, an ex-hsemate of mine left behind her old smelly mattress in her room, along with a few goodies like used yogurt jars, empty bottles n newspapers spreaded everywhere. Guess who had to clean up for her?

System down for the day..

M thinking of wat to hav for dinner. Had been working since yesterday evening, thruout the nite, til tis morning, but hav yet to sleep til now. And since I've dragged sleeping til tis hour, heck, might as well hav dinner first before retiring. Actually, I wanted to make some porridge served with seaweed n white sesame, but m too tired, blur n sluggish not to mention sore feet...sigh,
wat an unproductive day.

Don't Quit

Crossroad episode over, for now. Js need to patch things up a bit. Tis is my fav piece of poetry, eversince i could remember. Got a bookmark of it too.

Don’t Quit!

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,

when the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,

When the funds are low and the debts are high,

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

When care is pressing you down a bit,

Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,

As every one of us sometimes learns,

And many a failure turns about,

When he might have won had he stuck it out;

Don’t give up though the pace seems slow—

You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,

It seems to a faint and faltering man,

Often the struggler has given up,

When he might have captured the victor’s cup,

And he learned too late when the night slipped down,

How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out—

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,

And you never can tell how close you are,

It may be near when it seems so far,

So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit—

It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Last nite was my sister's b-day. Her birthdate is very easy to remember - 5678 - 5th of June, year 1978. My lil brother's b-day on the other hand falls on the 23rd of January, and is remembered as 123. And hence we always get birthday wishes from cousins etc etc..

Since we were lil, my sister is always the 1 i look up to. Well, she's not the only one (think Eric Soon, Keanu Reeves, Michael n Victor etc), let's js say tat she's always the stronger one. She'll march on no matter wat as long as she believes. Sure there'll be tears along the years, but u know wat they say, when the going gets tough the tough gets going and tis is wat she lives by. To say tat she's stubborn, nope, tat's not the rite word. She's simply firm n full of pride.
My sister thinks maturely even when we were still in primary school. She would think things over quietly n came up with a "no". And her "no" will always be a "no". Period. Tat's tat. And when she left for Sg for good, she had every valid reasons to. It is js like the thousands of ppl who had left n never looked back.

Last nite was also the 4th line-d party/jam tat i've ever attended. It's amazing tat at 1 glance u c all the aunties, but look again. Once the music starts, the aunties transformed into dancing freaks. They could really dance. Among the crowd r some instructors from fitness centres, studios n even some smaller scale classes. One of my instructors was there too (she likes to stay low profile. m still trying to negotiate with her to upload a video clip of her dancing).
I think at a line-d party the dance list n the venue is very important. U could hav those really 60s n cowboyish songs n it's such a big turn off cos line-d nowadays has transformed. Yup, big thanks to these aunties ;-)
We did hits like Break the ice, so glamorous, ain't got no money (think it's Timbaland the way i r), wanna know why, feed the fetish (Janet Jackson's), wat goes around (Timberlake), don't stop (Rihanna's pls dun stop the music)...



Many people may know tat I think lowly of Amber Chia. Nothing personal, really, js tat I can't c anything in her. As a public figure, she could be so easily disregarded - can't speak, has a cow-like voice, she can't act, n it goes on. But the recent June issue of the Shape magazine finally gav one reason for her fame - she still is u*** but she really has the shape. The bikini tells the truth. And so, will giv her some credit for tat.

Roads n Hammers

Another juncture. Another crossroad in life. A point where u start pondering n questioning yourself again. There's a few paths u could take but when u dun see the end of the road, guess it's tough to pick one. Sure u'd weigh it out, to see the pros n cons n as a whole...but the uncertainty is there...

Some more got a line-d party tonight by one of the "si-fus". Stress lah. Practise n practise. The soles hurt, n so r the hamstrings n some of the muscles here n there. 75 songs. So far can nail 33 songs, which is only a mere 44%...must buy a bigger hammer n start nailing away ;-P
