To Be Remembered

"She lived like she knew nothing lasts
Didn't care to look like anyone else
And she was beautiful, so beautiful
I still hear her laugh like she's here"

(Quoted from 'Angel' by The Corrs in their Album Borrowed Heaven)

I was listening to the radio while driving home yesterday and I happen to hear 'Angel' being played on air. I remembered that this song was written for their mother who has passed away. The only thought running through my mind at that time was that, at my funeral in time to come, I would like to be remembered like that...

Ok ok, too emo!

I looked forward to the weekend that just passed and I have to say I had a really good time even though I'm sleepy as hell right now.

Friday
Left the office at 5.25 hoping that the 5 minutes would make a difference. I was so wrong. The rain was so heavy just a few minutes before that, that the traffic jam was bad! I was stuck in front of my office for 45 minutes. I was suppose to be at final reheasal at 6! -_-
Finally got the the event at 7 something.

I tell you, I'm never one to feel nervous when it comes to dancing. I actually enjoy performing on stage. That night, I don't know what came over me. I think the mc put more stress on us when he mentioned that we were 'canggih' dancers. All in all, we pulled through and ade ourselves look 'canggih' (I hope).

I think it was the energy coz after that, we even went to Urban Groove to continue training till 12 something. Not bad!

Saturday
Lazed around most of the day trying to recuperate from the night before. Still had one more performance that night and plus I was going out with the girls as well.

By the time I was done with our performances, I rushed home to eat and have a bath. Got to Passion at 11 something. For someone who's usually quite early when it comes to clubbing, I was late! O_o

The highlight of the night was seeing Wen How again! We used to go to the same primary school and if I'm not mistaken, we were seat partners! What makes the world smaller is that he knows CynCyn!

I don't know what it was. Maybe it was the alcohol or the vibe at Passion or maybe my own energy, I let loose! I just felt like dancing and dancing!

Got back at 3am! >_<

Sunday
I only got to take a short nap. I was definitely not ready for training. But class was great. We continued with locking and we learnt popping! I love popping!

The headed to Isabel's place for dinner. She cooked up a storm. Wish I had pictures of dinner. You would salivate too! Had a lot of alcohol again! Beer, champagne, wine and vodka with 6 girls talking and laughing. Not bad at all! I had fun and most of all, I loved the company I was with. Thanks Isabel for the fabulous dinner!

Got back at 1am and zonked out straight away.

Present day
I'm so sleepy right now. I'm trying to keep my eyes awake! *_*

Starlight Cinema

Belated pictures taken at Starlight Cinema on 12 August 2006. We watched 2 Fast 2 Furious & Tokyo Drift! I got 6 free tickets courtesy of a nice guy who works at Catcha (Thanks Vinod!). The benefits of working in the media line is that you get these free invites to this and that.

The initial plan was 3 girls and 3 guys. We ended up with 4 girls and 2 guys (see la Wen How, told you to come right) -_-
Mommy Josie, being the wonderfully crazy person she is, cooked up a feast! Her reason? "Cos I never get a chance to cook at home!" 0_0
So we had pasta cooked in broccoli base, chicken nuggets, potato salad, roast chicken, spicy chicken sandwhich. Cyn brought the beer (yummy!) and I brought the easiest, chips! BURP!
>_<
As usual, girls + camera = CAMHOES! And we didnt even include the guys in this. We just played amongst ourselves...hehe

FunkyMonkeyErin & MommyJosie. Thanks to me, they're looking good...hehe

This is Josie taking candid pictures and this is what you get

See Josie, I took a better one of myself! (my red highlights wearing out. Don't look like Rogue anymore -_-)

Me, Cyn and Josie

Cyn & I in one of our couply pictures (so hiao la somebody)

We had to do one of those silly pictures but Cyn has to be the only to look all smiley (taken by Edward)

And the last one for the road (Aiyo, Cyn, people ask you to smile nice nice, you stick your tongue out pulak!)

Miscommunications

*Sigh*...a simple story turned upside down can cause an eruption between two people. How easy it is for someone else to misunderstand what you are trying to say. No wonder we have wars.

Communication. We can't live with it and we can't live without it. There are times we can't live with it because it bugs the crap out of us when we don't understand each other. Yet, we cannot live without it.

Here's an example, there's that game where you communicate a message to the person beside you and it goes around the circle. The message never comes out the same way you intended it to be. At the end, yeah, you have a good laugh after that.

But what happens when the miscommunication happens between you and a friend. You said something and then he thought something else and then he tells your friend what he thought you meant and then she tells you what he said he thought you meant. Sounds confusing. Not really. Because by this time, you're frustrated that no one got the correct idea and you get angry at your friend for reasons because of this o_0


And the thing about women, we love to bring up the past that has nothing to do with the recent miscommunication. Yes, I admit we tend to do that *sigh*

I think he got the wrong idea. I did want to meet up with him and the girl. Heck, I haven't seen them in a while. But he thought I wasn't interested. She asks me why I didn't come and I told my side ofthe story. And then she related her side and somehow it didn't gel and BOOM! I'm getting frustrated and she's getting mad o_0


*sigh*

Update

I'm in a much better mood since the last few weeks. No worries. All campaigns running smoothly.

I'm enjoying dance very much and am loving each moment of it. Joel has opened the path way to my dream of becoming an instructor. Thanks Joel!

I finally put an end to my history with Dr. Bad Love. I wrote him my farewell letter before he left to do his national service for the country. This letter was my, goodbye, thanks for the memories and I'm moving on letter to him. I hope I don't go back down that road again.

As for friends, I've been re-connecting with old friends I haven't seen or heard for the longest time. Well, at least I've found them again and this time I'm gonna stay in touch.

Toodles!

The Horror!

As I was driving to work this morning, I chanced upon this little girl, probably 7 or 8 years old, walking herself to school! All by her lonesome self! There was no adult to walk with her!

Yes, she is walking in a housing area but the danger of a little girl walking by herself! WHAT HORROR!

I cannot imagine which parent would bring themselves to allow their child to walk to school alone. All sorts of things could happen to this child! The traffic on that road is quite high in the morning and yet it is still one of the quieter parts of Taman Desa. The child could have knocked down or worst still, kidnapped. I mean, seriously, it's better for your child to cry now then you crying for a lifetime if something bad happens. Better safe than sorry.

I just couldn't help but hate the parents for not accompanying the girl. It's stupid! STUPID PARENTS!

Parents & parents to be: Please don't be careless and let your child go anywhere alone. Take the time to walk with them. If you can't do it, then get someone to help you. And please don't say you don't have time. There is time if you make time.

My Career

Today marks 1 year since I started working. Today is the exact date I started my career in the advertising line.

Recently, I've gone through a whirlwind of issues and I've done a lot of thinking since then. I like what I'm doing so far but I know myself, I will get bored after a while. I need something fun! I need something that lets me travel and yet do what I love doing. I've come up with 3 careers I wouldn't mind doing...

1) Buyer (to buy clothes for market brands like Top Shop, Warehouse, Ralph Lauren etc)
2) Personal shopper
3) Dance instructor

The last occupation is somewhat my dream job and passion. I would't mind doing it and now I really wished I had completed my dance courses when I was younger. As for the other 2, there is still a possibility.

Anybody know of clothing brands looking for a buyer or a personal shopper?
