Zhng It !

Hey'all!

I have been really swamped of late and cant post but I'm happy. Happily swamped.

First up. Check out what Nic Sit did to his car. It was a nice decent Mazda, till it became this!

The first thing I said was, WAH! So ah Beng!!

The second thing I said was, O. But I like leh.

Afterwhich I made him switch on the lights whilst I take pictures.

Come on come on. If I didnt do that, u guys wont be able to see it!

So the thing that fascinates me most about this car is it's multi-faceted light emitting capabilities - so many colours! Actually it had this SUPER COOL function where it will keep changing colours as the light moves from the front to the back of the car - SUPER AH BENG LARH! (But i like.. lol).

Second, the good old firm has taken to investing into our welfare and has now provided all lawyers with:

ERGONOMIC chairs! *wolf whistle*

Not bad at all, you can adjust the back rest, head rest, arm rest and seat height! i like! (though it took me awhile to figure out how to do it larh. i think besides being a closet lian i MIGHT be a closet geek, i like gadety stuff. heh)

well, funky seat above replaces this one, the one we used to have:

(that's my colleague's chair .. super gross check out the stains on the seat of the chair, which she claims she is not responsible for.. lol)

And here's KXL posing in her new chair. =)

Third, FIREWORKS!

We had to work on Saturday (late) like after the fireworks at 2100 hours still carry on okays.. and i thought might as well go downstairs to take a look.. It was MILLING with people outside Fullerton larh!

urm, actually this was taken AFTER the fireworks cuz it was real smoky (yeah i went back to work after the fireworks.. =S )






actually it was quite farnee because for the duration of the fireworks, there were these huge SBS buses that were in the way sometimes, and you could hear everyone groaning when one of these monsters totally obstructed the view to the fireworks.








sigh. so pretty. i wish there were fireworks everyday. i remember praying before that when i go to heaven, i wish to see fireworks everyday, and whole harvest fileds of sparklers (u know the mini firework on sticks that kids (and jasmine) really really like?).

can u imagine, if instead of wheat, you have fields and fields of sparklers that never go out????

*stars in eyes*

yuarh.. i know i can dream on.. i did say i only realistically expect to see that in heaven!


Urm. I have also been stuffing my face. This was from the dessert shop at Tiong Bahru - corn and peanut ice kachang!!!!

Corn is like my favourite (is it a fruit or vegetable?) can? This was totally kick ass man.. like liquid peanut butter, but that doesnt even do it justice..


and we also had chocolate fruit fondue - one of the better ones i had. we were too eager to eat so i din get to take good pictures, but here's one..

not bad horh.. i edited it a lil on Picasa - see the celestial glow about it? ahhh.. heaven must be full of food and dessert!

I also went to watch 881 (support local production!) and really enjoyed it. Here's the song I cant get out of my head.. (and no, i dont understand hokkien but got subtitles)



The story line didnt require much thinking and certain scenes were, i felt unnecessarily homo, but I totally enjoyed the music, the costumes and the colour. Oh, and some parts quite farnee too.

Sometimes I wonder if I entered into the right profession. Some of you may know I never wanted to be a lawyer. Growing up, the occupation I remember really wanting to take up was that of a creative director - you know make ads for tv and stuff? But I didnt do well enough to get a scholarship to my then choice of university, New York Uni that is. And so law it was. And law it has become.

Yeah I enjoy my work now. But one cant quite help but wonder WHAT IF? I think that would probably be something I would have really enjoyed doing.

One life. One choice. No turning back.

Has the concept of time ever intrigued you? Like how it goes one way (forward) and is like two dimensional? (we seem to be going into metaphysics here.. too much for a Sunday night post!)

Well well. One life. One choice. No turning back.

Tough.

Yo ah Yo

This monkey is still wearing pampers!!!



My theory?

1. It's the curly hair. Like wear helmet like that.

2. It's the height. Head to floor less distance so less impact when kenna.
3. It's the head. Thick.
4. It's the age. Fool hardy.

Sigh. Lost youth, lost time!

Maybe one day i post my baby pictures.

the art of cross-examination

I like to get farnee stuff in my email. Here's an example. *beams*

These are from a book called "Disorder in the American Courts", and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters who had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.

Hahaa. =) Hope you had a good Sunday.

Long Rambling Post and Something Serious

You see.

When you keep uploading photos, meaning to put them up at some point in time when you feel more organized, you end up being like me, having LOADS of unrrelated photos that make no sense when you put them in the post - heck, they arent even current no more. THEN you think, o no.. so wasted if i dont post it.. so "no choice" lorh, put it up as ONE rambling post (thank God i am entertaining.. hurhurhur).

But before I begin my long rambling throwing together of photos (which i am prone to).. i have SOMETHING SERIOUS to say. *nods*

*

''SOMETHING SERIOUS''

=_=

HAHHAHA.. so kill me already..

But seriously (hurhur), Corrine and I had a project that day. Project-make-a-day. It all started when I realized a new friend that i've come to know was not on MSN (and wasnt supposed to be in court). So i texted her, i realized that: she knocked down a pedestrian, albeit through no fault of hers. Even so, that is sufficiently traumatizing.

I thought it would be nice to give my new friend's heart a lift, so we embarked on Project-make-a-day. During lunch, I staked through the terrain of CBD and found a flower shop and bought her a "Auntie i want bright bright happy happy" hand bouquet!

So chioh horh (bright like me!) ...

Then Corrine decided that we should also make her like a card, but we didnt have materials so we spent lunch decorating a magazine / file holder for her..

to prove that it WAS lunch time.

heh.

And of course it HAS to be a SURPRISE!! So yours truly delivered the bouquet to her office! Ay, had to brave through the various teasing amused looks from uncles on the street okay..

So. During these months where I have not updated, there have been many happy developments. For one, by the grace of God I am back in touch with a VERY dear friend of mine, who is none other than....

.
.
.
.
.
.

(heh. I thought if cover her face for first picture got abit more surprise marh. heh.)

So anyhow, THIS is LIVIA!!!

I have been out of touch with Livia for the longest time and somehow our paths crossed again and all I can say is that.. I AM VERY GLAD! livia is one of my dearest friend (read: she is very accommodating towards me. very) and we used to go home together like almost EVERYDAY back in secondary school because we stayed in the same area and were in the same CCA (council and aep).

okay, just random photos of us mucking around. hahaha.


i think i look kinda tired in these photos but.. WHATEVER! (speaking of which, see my previous post below) i so WOULD NOT teach my baby these things. can u imagine ur baby doing it to you when you are trying to teach her something serious? HARLOW!!! i wonder what parents are teaching these days.


MOVING ON, as some of you would know, I am a STAR WARS fan, and there is a toy shop near my office (happiness!!) So i saw that they were selling STAR WARS figures!!

check out yoda - i thought he looked pretty life-size he did...

close-up.

and check out leia - i thought they captured her pose and expression EXTREMELY well..
not bad horh.. and of course, we have JABBA THE HUTT, who is missing leia in her bronze bikini strapped to him.. heh.
so fat he is gross lorh. yucks.


AND, i also checked out MINDS or was it SETTLERS? anyhows, one of those, for the very first time with dawn and some of the molihualets. wow. it was good!



initially we got carried away by the food, you can see the board game beneath the food because we (okay I figured) it was more important to settle the food first.. hiaks.


yup, close up for the less observant (actually that's an excuse, i just wanted to put up dawn's picture.. hahahahahah)
anyhows, there was this animal game that was super dumb and fun. it's kinda like SNAP of sorts. You see, everyone takes an animal randomly from this bag, and decides what kinda animal sound you want your animal to make. For instance, if you get a hen, instead of CLUCK CLUCK, you can make it go CUCKLE DOODLE DOOOOO or some other spastic noise.
The animal then proceeds to hide in the little house that you see below.


After that the cards are dealt and we all produce our cards SIMULTANEOUSLY and QUICKLY.. and we are supposed to make the sound of the animal of the person with the same card as you. First person who makes the sound correctly wins and you get to hand over your card to the person who failed to make the sound in time. Person with most cards at end of game wins.

O GLORIOUS MADNESS!!! I mean it's really farnee to see adults clucking and cooing animatedly and all that.. =)

so after that, i went to meet furry and monkey.

Somebody once commented that all my guy frens are like really good looking, afterall, birds of the same feather flock together right? I mean the good looking part, not the guy part.. DUH. .. hahahah.

Anyhow i think i agree with that comment... here are two fine specimens..

FURRY
You would agree with me that he looks like some Bollywood star horh.. though to his credit, he doesnt have the signature paunch and moustache.. ay dont prey prey okays, this bollywood friend of mine is gonna one day conquer the skies. HE'S GONNA BE A PILOT!!! okay, so do i get any free tickets with that furry, if i dont marry you will i still get free tickets? lol..

and we have MONKEY!! the hongkong star look alike!!!

But i dont think that elijah is a real hiong-gong-zai.. anyhows.. this young man is like super bright.. so u also dont think that he is a himbo (even if he LOOKS LIKE ONE!!!) he will take his brain out of his head and whack you until you shuddup ah. hahahahahaha..

so one saturday was spend over ice cream and stuff, all 20 somethings commiserating over work.. but HEY HEY!! Labour is worship so a NEW DAY has come!! *beams*


okay next is just me fooling around with gracia whilst babysitting her. She had some toy, a plastic ball which you could like open up to its various halves.. I thought it made a pretty cool helmet for a baby.. hurhurhur.

i decided to wear it together with her too.. but o well, the photographer was laughing too hard, so you cant see the helmet on me.. hahahahaah.


Some of you know that I went to Malaysia for a church retreat for the leaders. (o yes, i must take this opportunity to affirm corrine who took leave to go babysit the kids for pastor!! God blesses the heart of service!)

Back to the retreat, Urm, it was good.. but i didnt take very many pictures cuz not very many SUPER FARNEE moments.. here are some of the highlights..

Not that the toilet was interesting, but the door wouldnt open up all the way. (btw this was taken at the ferry terminal) so yes, the door wouldnt open up and if you HAD TO GO.. you have to squeeze through the door larh.. i thought it was quite farnee, so here's the picture saying soo. hahah..

Here's some of my cell sisters and me, with gracia, the helmet baby.. heh.

Guess which luggage bag is mine?

No prizes larh. but more than one person commented that my luggage bag is very loud horh.. hiaks! suits me marh like that. heh.

Okay, i really like this next picture I took with Terry. At the sea, in the sun, wind tousling hair all.. hahahaha. i think he really looks like my younger brother here.. i mean, not like MY BROTHER!!! but like a younger brother. you know?

Okay, this is like the last picture for the time in Desaru, Malaysia. There were monkeys everywhere, so some of the girls decided it would be fun to feed them. NOT!! You see this joker here?

Well, she literally climbed all over, she came over from the garden at an alarming speed and went to our tables, climbed on the pillar and onto our table in a matter of SECONDS.. and at first i was still garang garang snapping away at her.. then she was like. all over us!

of course we were like screaming away and the nice waiter came to shooo her off. yucks man. imagine, if she took my camera with her. brrrr...

Okay, next up is just me showing off pictures i took with my cammy.. this is EAST COAST PARK leh, mind you.. hahaah..

not bad horh.. like some exotic place..


Last but not least, just me having dinner with the latest addition to my cell group.. KERRY!!

I think she is pretty as a pea.. you would agree horh.. =)

this is me fooling around with the coaster.. dont ask, i was amused that it was so orange.. when i was a little girl, for a short time i confused the shape, CIRCLE with the colour ORANGE because you know, circles are always presented as orange..and oranges are always ROUND.. so yeah. you get my drift..

moral of the story? when you teach your kids shapes, make sure circle is like in purple and blue and all the other colours of the rainbow.. =D


Finally, picture of a baby!

my friend's nephew.. cute horh.. looks like poster material..

that's all folks, till next time!!!!

WHATEVER!

now is cute larh.. but i hope she doesnt become like this when she grows up!!

Man Enough

Look what i saw in e papers yesterday! Hunky black boxer with BABY PINK boxing gloves! And if u look closely his boxing shorts have a pink belt too around his waist! Hahaa. Talk abt being MAN ENOUGH! Hahaa. And yes, i'm blogging from me trusty old phone. =) gonna be at my grams place tonight!

Who's your Daddy??

I remember when we were back in uni people used to greet each other by saying, "who's your daddy?" or "WAAAASSSSSUUUPPPPPP!!!!!!!!! (followed by a exaggerated sticking out of the tongue)"..

Heh.

Well, I recently came out of an episode i can only describe as long drawn and excruciatingly crushing. But the good thing that came out of it was the revelation of a deep conviction i cling on to in my heart of hearts.

I know who to trust to take me out of a really sticky situation.

And i know Who it was that TOOK me out, Who RESCUED me, Who reached down and PLUCKED me out of that long drawn and excruciatingly crushing episode.

And it isn't me.

It's Someone stronger, bigger, better and wiser than me. Someone who has my best interest at heart and loves me dangerously. Someone who places His protective boundaries around me so that nothing can harm me. So I know I can rest. Not to be complacent, but to do my best and surrender the rest. Someone is watching my front and my back.

I know "Who's my Daddy".

O dear dear friends, hear me! This is nothing to do with being weak. We all put our trust in something. It may be in our own strength, the tenacity of a dear one's love for us, the favour of a big boss, the power of money and status...

We all trust something. I guess the question is, do we have the confidence that the object of our trust would never fail us or come through for us or give us the hope to look forward to tomorrow? Do we have the confidence that the object of our trust is good and IS powerful enough to do just about ANYTHING in our best interest?

I do. Oh i do, i do, i do!

I have the confidence that my Father in heaven..

would never fail me
would never fail to come through for me
would never fail to give me the hope to look forward to tomorrow
Is good
Is powerful to do just about ANYTHING in my best interest..
and not just that, i know He WILL do just about everything for me because He loves me.

1 Corinthians 13: 7 - 8
"It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."

O dear dear friends, hear me! Having come out of that long drawn and excruciatingly crushing experience, I can only say that in my heart of heart, i know Who it was that was protecting me ALL this time. There is no other explanation for the outcome.

And He did it simply because He loves me.

And I bless everyone to experience this love that I know.

I thought this song, both the music and the lyrics personifies this Someone so well. Close your eyes. Trust it would bless you as it blessed me.

Childhood games

If you and i were born in the same era, you would recall these rather large grey handheld TETRIS sets where you basically have to manipulate various shapes so they fit into empty slots.

Here's another version - less malleable.

=D




yes yes, havent been bloggin much because many many things on my mind.. will get down to it soon.. soon.. sooooooooonnnnnnnnnn...

Which Sesame Street Character are you?

So.

Some of you may know that i really liked Sesame Street when I was a lil girl.

Come to think of it, I still really like Sesame Street. Here's what I found today.

Test Numero Uno.

Your Score: Kermit the Frog

You scored 52% Organization, 53% abstract, and 72% extroverted!

This test measured 3 variables.

First, this test measured how organized you are. Some muppets like Cookie Monster make big messes, while others like Bert are quite anal about things being clean.

Second, this test measured if you prefer a concrete or an abstract viewpoint. For the purposes of this test, concrete people are considered to gravitate more to mathematical and logical approaches, whereas abstract people are more the dreamers and artistic type.

Third, this test measured if you are more of an introvert or an extrovert. By definition, an introvert concentrates more on herself and an extrovert focuses more on others. In this test an introvert was somebody that either tends to spend more time alone or thinks more about herself.

You are mostly organized, both concrete and abstract, and more extroverted.

Here is why are you Kermit the Frog.

You are both somewhat organized. You have a good idea where you put things and you probably keep your place reasonably clean. You aren't totally obsessed with neatness though. Kermit is also reasonably tidy. He'll even dress up for interviews.

You both are sometimes concrete and sometimes abstract thinkers. Kermit spends a lot of his time as a reporter collecting facts, but he is also the author of the dreamy song "The Rainbow Connection." You have a good balance in your life. You know when to be logical at times, but you also aren't afraid to explore your dreams and desires... within limits of course.

You are both extroverts. Kermit gets along with everyone. Sure a few folks annoy him, but that's just because they are annoying. Kermit likes to meet new people when he does his job as a street reporter. You definitely enjoy the company of others, and you don't have problems meeting new people... in fact you probably look forward to it. You are willing to take charge when necessary or work as part of a team.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, Kermit starred on Sesame Street years before The Muppet Show.

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 99% on Organization
You scored higher than 99% on concrete-abstra
You scored higher than 99% on intro-extrovert

You can try this at:
The Your SESAME STREET Persona Test

Test TWO

Or we have another one here you can try:

You are Elmo ( Tickle Me ! ). You are cute, and everyone loves you. You are a best friend that no one takes the chance of losing. You never hurt feelings and seldom have your own feelings hurt. Life is a breeze. You are witty and calm most of the time. Just keep clear of backstabbers, and you are worry free.

Last but not the least: Test Trio

You scored as Ernie, Ernie is a dreamer with a strong imagination. He's always thinking, imagining, and playing word games. He's mischievious and a bit of a trickster. He's good natured, bubbly, wise, playful, naturally outgoing, very affectionate, and spontaneous. He always has a good time and he knows he is funny. This crafty free-spirit always finds a way to come out on top! Ernie 78% Prairie Dawn 73% Rosita 70% Zoe 68% Elmo 65% Cookie Monster 63% Big Bird 63% Telly Monster 50% Grover 48% Count Von Count 40% Bert 40% Oscar the Grouch 38% Which Sesame Street Character Are You? (Many outcomes) created with QuizFarm.com

what to do, so loveable I am (then again, very few Sesame Street characters not "love"ly - so probability of gettin something yucky is like.. down there)

Yes Yes. You cant tell I am bored alreadyyy..
