Singapore Sakura. Found.

Went cycling at ecp this afternoon, after I visited aunt in hospital. Dad said aunt looked better, more radiant today but somehow she reminded me of grandma, the thought of which saddened me. Anyway, ecp was great today cos i spotted many sakuras lookalike. Several near crashes with little kids but whew, i always manage to brake in time. Hopefully my legs wont ache this time round.

Random in March

Haven't seen photos up here in a while so I thought I'll upload all three photos in one post. hehe...

Just realised today that my colour flash has spoilt. Feeling a little depressed cos i liked that flash a lot, just that I haven't been using it frequently cos of the lack of lomo-ing. Decided to lomo more in case my other cameras give up on me too. That would be darn super sad.

Each time I look at baa-baa, I'll be reminded of my 2009 Japan trip. But now I'm stuck here... sob. shall go hunt for Singapore sakuras over the weekend. I saw some at my workplace. Baa-baa and moo-moo needs to go for a shower first before I can take any colour shots of them with sakura or even bring them to Langkawi.

26 Mar - My first trip up to Singapore Flyer. It was a short ride but the night view was quite pretty. Inspired me to take photos again. So shall try to work some things out this weekend I suppose.

As mentioned in my FB, sakura, lomo and baby shower. guess the weekend's packed already. gosh.

Mini Spring-Cleaning

Finally decided to clear away my expired cosmetic... most of which were the Estee Lauder set, bought together with Jiebin since a long long time ago, probably in 2006? Very wasted because I didn't use the make up set at all... Guess it was bought at a bad timing... when I couldn't appreciate the beauty of make-up and was too lazy. You could actually see mould growing on the blusher, lipstick etc. Ughh... That was how bad it was. :(

But anyway, thanks to the mini spring-cleaning, I found two new brushes which I bought from The Body Shop eons ago. I love the brushes... I was actually hunting for one recently cos I thought I misplaced mine blah blah... coincidentally I realised while shopping today, that Body Shop no longer manufactures that particular brush. Now I kinda felt like I discovered a treasure chest. ha. Cheap thrill you may say but watever... Luckily I decided to hold back and not splurge on other brushes today. whew.

Anyway, lesson learnt - I'll never buy so many make-up again. I only have one face and there's probably only thrice a month that I'll put on 80% make-up so why bother. Most of the time it's prolly just 10% i.e. foundation only. I guess money will be better spent on food/ movies/ books and clothes.

This time, I'm determined to cultivate the good habit of using up all my skincare/ make-up before I buy new ones. haha. Let's see if this resolution works out eh? ;p



Zhentoutao Feels Lucky...

The other shoebox.

I've heard from friends who broke up - that they kept a shoebox full of momentos or memories of their exs. Well, since i'm not likely to keep such a box anytime soon, and really because i'm watching so many movies, shows, performances etc now, i've decided to start another shoebox to collect the memories. 
I wonder if i'll be able to fill up the box by the end of this year. Hee. :)

It Rained After All... Bleah.

Was hoping to go cycling today. But by the time I woke up at 2.30pm, the sky turned gloomy and shortly after, it rained. Sadz.

And so my day was spent at home sleeping, watching tv and reading books. It's peaceful but I really ought to exercise more now... so that photos at Langkawi wouldn't turn out too bad. ha.

Had a great day out yesterday... short meet-up with the Synergians who are gg to the Langkawi trip. Followed by dinner with the A13-ians at Azabu. Cher and I were greatly amused by the usual 唇枪舌剑 between Janice, Don and Wendy. It was worth 5 out of 5 popcorns. :) We headed to 爱情海 after that. Felt that the singers talked too much, prolly cos of her background as a DJ, occupation hazzard I suppose. But the singing was great. They sang my song dedication "When you say nothing at all" and joked that it was a signal for them to quit talking and sing more. Woops. Feel inspired to go ktv again.

Another weekend gone. Sadz. Dread to return to office tomorrow. It's always rush rush rush, or "Where are your ideas?!" at work. So totally un-motivating. I feel dehydrated.

Time to plan for a trip or something. Hmm...

切忌，切记。

我发现，人很容易就掉入怨天尤人的陷阱里。往往在一念之间，就可以把发生在自己身上所有的坏事，都归咎于别人的过错。

像是我拿不到假期这件事，因为看到同事纷纷出国旅游， 相较之下，我就会觉得特别委屈，特别怨恨我的老板不公平。 可是，比起老板现在忙碌的样子，我又会觉得自己也还没那么糟， 没什么好抱怨的。

又像是今天，发生在我周遭的一些琐事。。。 我发现自己在潜意识里，前几句问题、感想，竟然都是在抱怨别人的不足。 当自己惊觉后，才会比较有自觉地思索是自己哪里做的不够好。

就这样，我在这样的陷阱里挣扎了好久。好几次，在怨天之后，惊觉自己的“邪念”，然后又开始责备自己的心胸太狭小。唉，要变得豁达、积极等，都须要好多的自律; To always understand where you have gone wrong and learn from your mistakes first, instead of comparing and blaming others for your plight. 一不小心，我就会跌入这样的陷阱。 如果一直执迷在怪罪于他人，而自己又不积极的采取行动改变，那这个世界对我而言，只会变得愈来愈黑暗。

这，是我最近的领悟。没办法。因为工作太忙碌了，所以特别容易消极，特别容易找碴。但还是要学会心平气和啊。

切忌，切记。



枕头套的牢骚。。。

2010 Priorities

Have been thinking a lot recently... There are really a lot of things which I hope to accomplish this year so here's listing my priorities for this year and wishing that I can fulfill them all one by one... :)

1. Save up money for Japan 3-month Study in 2011! Followed by a Wwoof experience in farming? Hmm...
2. Driving license for motorbike - I've decided this is really a more practical license to have for my future backpacking trips so I am going to work towards this goal. I already found a hot pink scooter mate.
3. Driving license for car - It's about time that I finally took action I guess. Already borrowed theory books from Cherry. Woohoo...
4. JLPT 2 - It's about time I really aim to pass with flying colours. Ganbarimasho!
5. Travel - Taiwan in Jul? Or Europe in Sep? Hmm... still undecided. Europe sounds ambitious but it'll be one cool adventure to mark my 2010. Oh well, see how things go ba.

突如其来的冲劲。。。接下来就是好好努力了。

快乐的猪 我要快乐！

因为是预料中的事，所以没有太多的讶异。怎么说呢？　终于有了结论，　而结论就是 JLPT2　我没有合格。那也就只能这样啊。再读书，再重考，要往前冲，方向就只有一个。这很简单，不是吗？

明年的四月之旅，现在变成了我奋斗的目标，所以我会加油的。眼看着同事过两个星期就要到日本度假了，虽然我很难过， 但期待明年，我会有三个月在日本度过，所以我会努力的。

虽然今天的运气一样很背（我随便问了一位同事，看她爸爸又没有兴趣帮我录影，演一个很生气的会员， 结果同事竟然回答说她的父母离异，她没有爸爸。够背吧？我真的很佩服自己的运气。）。。。但还是庆幸，晚上回到家，看着台湾偶像剧，也能轻易的哈哈大笑。言成旭和 ella 在戏里真的很爆笑。 Monday blues 都被他们赶跑了。

人生就这么简单，所以我决定了，我要简单的快乐起来！
