Far far away?

Ever since working abroad, my job has brought me financial happiness. At the same time it had widen the relationship I had with many people. Could it be distance? C'mon it's just Singapore and it's not like I don't go home. In fact I do it very often.

One of them is Delicia. Going through my lil' cousin's pictures in Friendster, I realise she is looking more and more like her late mom. She may just be three years younger than I am, but she's turning into a woman so quickly. I never got to see her grow from her teens to young adulthood. Now she seem so distant, like any other relative.

I give her my blessings in whatever she does and will do. I cherish the good times we had as kids and will do as adults in the present and future.

Remember to enjoy yourself along the way gal!

Horrible day...

I had to leave late yesterday night. Felt horrible. Always wonder why I ever joined the industry. Everyone were already asleep or on the way to bed. Why do I have to work?
Luckily it happens only once in a blue moon.

And since I was already feeling so bloody shitty, my housemate had to burst open my room door when I was undressed. Yes it was partly my fault for not locking the door but why couldn't she just have the decency to knock and wait for a reply. And when I told her to shut the door she just wouldn't.
She kept giggling at the door until I had to wrap myself to shut the bloody door in her face. She knew I was getting ready for work but she had to continue with such childish act. Oh believe me this is only one of the many times that she has irritated me.

I may not be that 'fun' to be around but I believe that once the room door is closed you leave that person alone. Privacy must be respected. The funny thing was she had the nerve to ask me "oh you're upset?!". Who wouldn't be!
I'm running on a freaking tight schedule and every minute I lose it snowballs to going late for work. The damn plane won't wait for me you know!!

AN UTTER DISGRACE

The war in Iraq is a disgrace to the already disgusting country, America. George Bush is exactly is Nixon; Testosterone driven by Ego.

The war in Iraq is so distant from my existing life in South East Asia. Not that I don't keep abreast with news but I just never thought that I would be affected by it.
My world is pacing at just about the right speed. Commitments have increased, then again who wouldn't have at this time and age. Everything seemed to be going all right.

I'm writing this about Toby. He'd been gunned down by a sniper in Iraq. All this in 4 days. He was one of the many soldiers that died an ugly death defending their country in a blind wild goose chase. Is this to promote democracy?


It was great knowing you.
I hope life in Aussieland was as wonderfully fond for you as it was for me.
Continue enjoying your smoke-ups wherever you are.

Rest in peace Toby...

**Fuck you George Bush!!**

Year 2007

Life just passes me by **** just like that...

I remember myself in Lismore when I was just 20 years old. Celebrating my 21st was a blast! Then 2004 was the year my paternal grandpa died.
I was struggling with 2005 trying to adjust to the new work life. One that everyone so thought and still think is glamourous.
Year 2006 flew by me.
I wonder how 2007 would be like.....


Conceptualization of myself...

• I will be labelled "Mid-twenties" or a quarter of a century old.
• Relatives will start asking when the bells of marriage be ringing.
• Realizing how I do not like crowds (except when the "sale" sign is up!).
• Watching more news, reading more newspapers to keep myself abreast with the current happenings which I would not have done 3 years back.
• Worrying over how my future children would be brought up in this world of uncertainties and believing sex education should be taught at the ripe age without ignoring protection.

I certainly hope year 2007 will bring me joy and laughter. And great moments with loved ones that are just so hard to come by.

I just hope this life continues to keep me sane!

*** Cheers to 2007!

*** Cheers to love and happiness that my loved ones will experience.

*** Cheers to a less "eventful" life just so we can sit back and enjoy that wee bit more.

*** Cheers to ALL for being in my life (and reading this blog of mine!)
