i was just praying and thought i really want to pen this down somewhere. or blog, in this case.
i really really really enjoy watching dramas. korean taiwanese american. any type of chick flick. book form can do also. its just... a girl thing. something you know, i figure i really shouldnt be too obsessed over. like its some kind of sin. i mean of course balance is the key to life and obsessing about anything is just quite gross... seriously. but i always thought that i was doing something wrong when i begin to indulge in my own little romantic lala land. like God doesnt like kids who watch/read too much chick flicks and become unrealistic.
so i was feeling rather guilty.. my holidays have just started and thats exactly what ive been doing! so.. i sheepishly confessed to God... and i asked God is it wrong? i mean, im feeling so guilty and all. and i felt God began to speak to me. that its okay. its really okay. He has blessed me with a imagination. to dwell on all things good and all things wonderful.
hey, im still sane. sane with a freedom to imagine, to create, to enjoy, to believe in love.

i was just thinking now that im FREE (yay), i should really become a regular of my own blog.
so today. i had a lovely sleep in. since the crazy construction next to my house (some elaborate estate in the making) has stopped, the tremors threatening to collapse my house and devour my sanity has ceased. yessssssss. peace at last.
i used to wake up at an unearthly 9am by this lovely construction alarm clock and watch the things on my table vibrate like Jurassic Park. i cant even listen to my music or watch tv (ie my korean dramas) properly. in a desperate attempt to block out the noise, i run around closing every door and window and then drawing the curtains, only to end up with a really dark house and no ventilation. and it stills goes "BOOOM! *house vibrates* BOOOM! *house vibrates* this is the point where i throw my hands up in frustration and decide to ignore it (as much as i can).
but hey. back to the good news. it has ended! woohoo.
my sister was the one that woke me up today. after she came home from school. at 3pm. can you imagine?! she's already finished a good half of her day and here i am, snoring away. heh. the good old days of slacking is back! MUAHAHA.
but i guess this is like one of my last chances. i feel so old. after university, i'll be an official member of the working population. its so bizarre to look back and think of all the times the older generation used to tell me to cherish my time as a student and all i could respond was with a pinched face of disbelief and thinking "pfft! like these oldies can ever imagine the peer pressure, the stress, the problems we face!!" oh teenage angst.
not that i dont love being 19. its my favourite age to be at. *cue cheesy britney spears music:
'I'm not a girl, not yet a woman..'* HAHA. okay. yeah its like my last year as a teenager. and i like the number 9. and... i can still enjoy the privileges of sponging off my parents and at the same time be legal to club, drink, drive, m18 movies, etc etc. i'm coming of age, i guess. like a bildungsroman. haha ok not really! (my ex-lit teachers pls dont kill me for blatantly flouting the do-not-anyhow-use-literary-terms rule)
after being treated to the numerous random peices of my mind, back to my day. so after a brief encounter with my sis (she left the house shortly after for a dental appointment), i showered and had my late lunch (instant noodles). then i left my house to go for prayer meeting. it was good. though i really dont like hall 1. the spiritual atmosphere is terrible. *wrinkles nose* hall 8, i miss you!
prayer meeting ended at about 10pm. we were really hungry by the time we reached serangoon so we stopped by to buy supper. and thus, my day ended with some really yummy 'mel ma dian' bak chor mee.

im knee deep, no, waist deep in a korean drama sob fest with my mum. well technically im quite distracted (or cynical) cos i know THE GIRL IS GOING TO DIE. its so depressing. all movies/shows should have happy endings! thats what entertainment is about, what. who pays to make oneself miserable? but. in comparison to singaporean/taiwanese dramas, the korean actors are really infinitely better. its actually quite convincing.. until the everyone-is-dying-or-crying plot sets in. the show's called 'The Snow Queen'.
its about this guy (very hot) who's very poor but a maths genius and becomes best friends with a rich genius in high school. then he wins this rich guy in this international olympiad thing and the rich guy couldnt take it and commits suicide. plauged by guilt he runs aways from home and lives a vagrant life for 8 years. then he meets this girl and realises she is the girl from his childhood AND the best friend's kid sister. so they are tormented by the brother's death until they decide to get together in the end despite parental objection. THEN she realises she's terribly ill and at this point on my tv screen, she has died.
here he is! he is such a good (and did i say gorgeous?) actor. okay enough of my useless rambling review of a korean drama. i wanna pick up more korean though. i would love to wander down the streets of korea and converse with the stall owners in fluent korean. and of course, the yummy yummy korean food.
sometimes, i really wonder if i live in lala land.

cupboard digging, amongst my many responsibilities.
the AMAZINGLY sweet present from the girls! do i seriously look like i like zhang dong liang so much?? but im really so touched by the effort to buy his 2nd cd. i couldnt even find it myself and you guys actually sourced it out and bought it first! thanks ronnie (:
this angie is very fierce, very small, and takes care of ME! im her baby (her words) and someone i can really trust. (:
uncle edmond is a super nice guy who cracks super cold jokes and feeds me with occasional tidbits! gave me the sweetest present of all. a small pair of cross earrings carefully wrapped with a msg written behind.. when he could have shared with the rest. and told me secretively to 'go home then open.' (:
this ronnie ah! a really really nice fella who treats me to 20ct milo all the time (not like its alot). but drives me crazy when he is being out of point (most of the time) and is mad about jap stuff. he dresses like a overaged teen, but is actually just a great big softie at heart.
uncle cedric. renowned lady killer. also a married one. wifey (in his words) is working on same floor, next door dept. just LOVES to act cute and disturb small girls. but is nice. i love the uncles! they arent involved in the office politics. (:
chee shung: my very very very very TALL mentor.
the last lunch at crystal jade (cos shirmie braces restricted her to expensive porridge)
the remorseful looks on naughty kids who are late back from lunch (due to a impulsive neoprint escapade)
my beloved table!
my rubber band holder santa (im currently facing charges of santa abuse)
ok. i didnt forget about my blog.
just. too busy! pos is over, my days in hsbc is over!
starting a new chapter. one where i plan to take up swimming, korean, dance.. and NUS FASS!
maybe going phuket with ex classmates. faculty camp.
looks like life is not going to calm down after all.
im just excited... because above all of this, i cant wait to hear the voice of God in this new direction.
its big. i dont know how.. dont know what yet. but i know He has great plans.
my last day at work was lovely. who am i to deserve wonderful superiors, my team colleagues that take care of me, surrounding colleagues who help me out all the time, and fellow temp staff which became my awesome friends that are beyond lunchtimes.
all i can say is.. God took care of me. i feel so amazingly blessed, to the point of crying.
happy, grateful tears.
