The headlines on The Straits Times, for 2 consecutive day were on the first Singaporean to be killed by terrorist...a 28 year old lady....it seems unfortunate that she was captured by the terrorist when she was only staying a night in Mumbai...
Indeed, things are not always within our control...and we have to seize each day and live it like our last.
Do not think that just because we are doing it only once, we would be safe.
In Singapore, we used to be able to enjoy going to nearby places which offer cheap shopping, and cheap air tickets...however, recently, alot of such cheap places are not very safe to go....
Was told that someone had plans to go BKK this weekend, however, due to the closing of the airport, SQ has cancelled her flight....and she was thinking whether the airport would open again....actually, I also want to go BKK for shopping....as I didn't shop enough when I was there 2 years ago. :P
However, I feel that she should be thankful that the airport was closed before her trip...and not during her trip....at least she doesn't have to worry about how to get back to Sg....and she will not let her family and friends worry unduly....about her safety when she is there....
So...u know who u are....although we are sad that your holiday was cancelled...but be thankful that you can still change your destination...
Although AW's blog gave this movie a high review, I wasn't too gian to watch it til I heard /watched the youtube links...
After watching the show, both A and I felt that we couldn't understand how or why the male and female lead could fall in love just like that....
On the 60 year old story, I used to think that it doesn't matter if the guy doesn't express his love for the girl...however, after the events recently, I think that it would be such a shame if the love is not professed...
What is the use of writing so many letters...which are not sent? Yes, the old lady had the chance of reading the letters at her ripe old age....but what if she had died? In addition, the old man and old lady has both moved on and married someone else...how does this show that their love had carried on for 60 years?!?
I was moved by the never-say-die attitude of the old man in the band...who believed in himself and his skills...and accepted playing a handbell, just so that he could perform on stage...and his questioning of the others, why they were willing to accept not being given a chance to sing on stage...indeed...we have to believe in ourselves and dare to take the step forward...instead of complaining about things when we ourselves do not have the confidence to seize the day
人只能活一回，夢想卻有無數個，唯有放手一搏，才能知道機會屬不屬於自己……。
I can't remember where I've read or heard about people saying that a daughter is her father's 半个情人 in their past lives.
Normally, I don't believe in past lives etc...however, what is interesting is that...I think these people also said that a daugther would be a daddy's girl when she is young, but as she grows older, she becomes closer to her mother....
Hmm....I wonder whether this means that people who are closer to their mothers are more mature?
People are really funny creatures....when we feel like doing...we don't do...what we don't feel like doing....we always do....
Why is it that we choose to go when we don't feel like going? Why is it that we throw ourselves at guys we don't like? Perhaps, it is because the Stranger feels so tired...if she doesn't raise such a ruckus...she would be asleep by then...
Why is it that we can be with a group of friends...yet feel so lonely?
Looking through the photos of some friends who are my age...and realised that some of them...although they are already mothers...still look so young...like a student...whilst the Stranger....looks mature beyond her age...is it bcos of stress on the job? Insufficient sleep? Haiz....should learn to look after ourselves more...
Saw the trailer for 法证先锋 and thought it would be interesting to watch...always liked such topics...CSI, Galileo...mystery books....However, didn't have a chance to watch the first few episodes...after hearing from ZL that the show is really very worth it...decided to try my hardest to watch...
A few episodes ago, there was a breakup of 2 of the main characters of the show...it seems interesting but all so true....2 very good people...very reasonable people...but somehow...may have different thinkings, viewpoints....in the end, they are better off being friends, instead of lovers...
Somehow, their breakup was amicable and both felt better after that....is this really possible? Is it bcos they are both 萧洒 people?
Was chatting with K, who was amazed that someone, say K1, can get over a relationship so fast and go on to another relationship within a few months...somehow, it seems that maybe it is K, who thinks too much into a relationship, for K1, perhaps she goes into a relationship to understand the guy more, if he is not suitable, she goes on to the next one...perhaps we should all learn to be like her....K1 that is.....and not think too much....
After chatting with another blogger this afternoon...was thinking that whilst every blogger tries our best to write grammatically correct blogs, with no spelling mistakes etc...however...each of us have our own styles of writing...eg..we know someone likes to use "... ...", and some like to use singlish, some like to use short-form...however, this is how we are....if everyone writes the best Queen's english, then we might as well be reading from Journals or Newspapers! There must be something special about our blog...that's why people want to read!!!!
So...if you read my blog...please don't laugh at my English or my Chinese...if you think I have some mistakes...please drop me a note....and some ENCOURAGEMENT! :P
It is almost a month to Christmas...time to have my 1st Christmas Post...Have always liked this song since I was young...but then after looking at the lyrics...think it is abit sad hor....
Why is it that things that look good, may not always taste good? See this beautiful cupcake...it looks so cute...however, the taste is nothing to shout about.
Went to this cake shop called Blue Magnolia near the office, and after hearing me say that it is very cute...RL bot this for me...it costs S$3.50 before GST! Really not worth it!
Nevertheless, it brigthens my day to have such a cute cupcake given to me. THANKS!
Why is it that so many people can't face up to their feelings?
Asked M if she would accept him if he profess his interest. She said no, they are just friends...Perhaps he is not someone that matches up to her expectations, that's why she can't bring herself to say that she likes him but there is no denial that he makes her feel happy...she has that smile on her face when she describes what they did together...
暧昧...
曖昧讓人受盡委屈 找不到相愛的證據
何時該前進 何時該放棄
連擁抱都沒有勇氣
只能陪你到這裡 畢竟有些事不可以
超過了友情 還不到愛情
遠方就要下雨的風景
到底該不該哭泣 想太多是我還是你
我很不服氣 也開始懷疑
眼前的人 是不是同一个真实的你
Why are human relationships so complicated? Why can't one express how one feels freely? What are we afraid of?
A tells me that she is very sick of this 暧昧 friendship...and wants to give up. Guys advise A to confront him...whilst girls advise A to hold on. Is this Mars & Venus at work?
Hopefully A would look back fondly at this period of time...at least it is better to have this 暧昧 feeling than being a 干物女 ...
Rem the time when we could go to Waraku @ Starhub Building during lunch time...but now...when we see the long queue outside pasta de Waraku...and always don't have a chance to eat there....so when I saw this ad, I knew that I had to try it!
Because of the Ladies Night, everything was 50% off! We spent about S$14 per person....
I am really a mountain tortoise now, yesterday was the 1st time I was at a mall, so was quite excited by the Christmas lights.....JPG)

The stranger wonders why the planet seems to be breaking out into rain...is it bcos of the political situation looming over the peaceful planet? Or is it that the planet is tired of fighting with the opposition?
Yesterday, B messaged me and asked me what was wrong...he said that I looked unhappy...when I am normally lively...I was surprised. 1st, I was not unhappy on Monday, it was juz a normal, lazy, tired Monday...2nd, I never knew I was lively...
Today, saw P in the pantry in the morning, and she said that I have the capability to make everyone happy when they see me..and that I can make others feel comfortable.
These 2 comments really surprised me. Me? The girl who looks like she is sulking when she is actually not...Me? The unapproachable girl? Me? The one who does as she wishes?
Hmm, really wonder whether it is becos they are cheerful and lively themselves, that's why they see others like that too...
There really must be something wrong with Private Stranger...she is really getting irritated....real irritated...
She really don't understand why she feels such a great need to keep herself private and away from prying eyes...why is she so different from so many others who want the whole world's eyes on them?!?
She is really getting irritated with getting her whereabouts tracked...she really does not think that her life is really that interesting to others...but why are there people out there who are curious to know what she is doing...and want to gloat to her that they know what she did?
Are they trying to do a "I know what you did last summer?"...it feels like being stalked...
Watching the 1st episode of Galileo, and the male lead said, "Feelings are not logical. Why should one think about illogical things? To think about illogical things is a waste of time. Who thinks about why the dog poo infront of him stinks? U either dispose of it or walk away. Either way, it is a waste of time to think about dog poo" ha what an interesting thought!
