Someone told me today, “It is really our choice in h0w we want to choose our own happiness.”
How true it is.
Another lesson learnt today after the teacher’s day dinner: You can’t please everybody.
I wonder will I still be able to celebrate teacher’s day next year.
Stay positive, I just got to stay positive. There is really too much negativity going on in my head. I haven’t been sleeping well. Nightmares. Human demons. I feel like bursting out. Really hope to recharge after the trip to Genting Highland. Count down starts!

I have already tried to clear my brain clutters by putting things down on paper, writing my to-do list in a notebook. But why is my brain still cluttered?
It’s really difficult to play so many different roles at work. One minute this, one minute that. I wish that they can quickly take away my gc responsibilities. It’s getting crazy. Having tonnes of work uncleared, and coming home to check my email with new things to do for gc.
Now, I can’t even enjoy my nights without thinking about the work to be done. I want to do other stuff, such as watch tv, surf the net etc. But somehow, my brain will feel that I should be putting that time to clear more work. I will feel uneasy not trying to complete the heap of work. Even when I am typing this blog at this moment, I’m thinking :”Should I open my notebook and see what work I can clear?” *faints*
I really need to relax, take a break, have a breather. Someone get me a kit kat!

the way you look at me

For Mr Poto:
No one ever saw me like you do
All the things that I could add up to
I never knew just what a smile was worth
But your eyes say everything without a single word
Coz there’s something in the way you look at me
It’s as if my heart knows you’re the missing piece
You make me believe that there’s
nothing in this world I can’t be
I’d never know what you see
But there’s something in the way you look at me
If I could freeze the moment in my mind
Be the second that you touch your lips to mine
I’d like to stop the clock make time stand still
Coz baby this is just the way I always wanna feel
Coz there’s something in the way you look at me
It’s as if my heart knows you’re the missing piece
You make me believe that there’s
nothing in this world I can’t be
I’d never know what you see
But there’s something in the way you look at me
I don’t know how or why
I feel different in your eyes
All I know is that it happens everytime
Coz there’s something in the way you look at me
It’s as if my heart knows you’re the missing piece
You make me believe that there’s
nothing in this world I can’t be
I’d never know what you see
But there’s something in the way you look at me
The way you look at me
This song is for you. Thank you for being a part of my life.

Just watched 20 30 40 and saw this line in the show.
I have no time to be sad.
This line is said by the 40 year old lady in the show (Zhang Ai Jia). She found out that her husband cheated on her and it took some time for the sadness to sink it. I mean, just imagine spending at least 2 decades of your life with the same someone by your side. And one day, he or she just walk out of your life, leaving you alone. The sorrow is worse when you are going towards 50 years old.
Time is a most funny ironic existence. It makes life beautiful because of the limitation of time in one’s life. Yet, it makes people suffer too, because of the fact that it does not stop. Time is cruel. It just keeps ticking, every second, every millisecond. It waits for no one. How many of us can truly spend each single second meaningfully?
Time is silent. It is present at all times. It is always there. However, the sad truth is that we do not treasure time when we are young. We will always think:
“Let’s wait till tomorrow.”
‘Tomorrow, I will start to study for my exam.”
“Tomorrow, then I will run the errand for my mum.”
“Later, then I will do my homework.”
Then comes working life…. and we realise that we do not have enough time. Somehow, it seems that 24 hours a day is not enough for us to complete all our tasks on hand. We start wishing that we have more time. We start sleeping less. We start spending less time on the things that really matter, such as taking care of our healths, spending time with your loved ones. We seem to be consumed by work, the neverending work. Sometimes I wonder, why is work never ending? Is it meant to be neverending so that it creates a purpose for the workers? How come we can never seem to finish all our tasks and have a full stop? Why is there no holiday for work? When there is public holiday or taking annual leave, it’s only leaving more space for your work to pile up. And when you ask your superior for advice, he or she will say : “Make better use of your time.” Ironic.
I guess what I’m trying to say is that we should feel lucky. If we still have the time to feel sadness, happiness, pain, grief, surprise, excitement, bliss…..we should be content.
Time waits for no one, hence, do not wait for time too.
Craving

A sudden craving – Bangkok’s Egg Noodles!
Egg Noodles : Thai name is Ba Mee
These noodle owe their yellow colour to the egg use in their manufacture.Sold fresh in nests,they must be shaken loose before being cooked.They come in both flat and round shapes .The flat noodles are generally used for soups and the rounded type are preferred for stir-frying.
I miss Bangkok!
Clutters

Just assumed the role of the CL, got to say that it is nothing that I really expected. It’s hard to put down in words how the past week has been. It’s like having my brain is no longer capable of remembering all the tasks to be done. Hence, I got to get myself a notebook to jot down all the tasks that I need to do. In just one day, I have written down one full page.
I have an active mind, a mind that just can’t seem to stop thinking. With the piling mountain of stuff to do, it seems like my mind has come to a jam. I feel that it’s quite good indeed. At least now, I can sleep earlier as I’m getting much more tired at an earlier timing. And my mind can finally stop thinking as I lie on my bed, waiting to fall asleep.
Thanks to a colleague, I am starting to appreciate the sound of silence. I have even wished that I can go to an island where I can be alone, with no one constantly shouting in my ears. Even music seems to irritate me now. Silence is golden. Now, I understand why.
Another thing that I got to learn to learning to STONE. I am seriously lacking in this ability. When I tried to stone last week during lunch, my mind was still very much active. It was like PRETENDING to stone. Haa. It’s kinda weird. Hope that I can slowly polish up this skill as the time goes by.
Working together with people is definitely not easy. Sometimes, I feel that working should be very simple. You do your job and I’ll do my job. There should be a flow going on. But somehow, there will be those that do not really do their own part, hence, creating a jam in the work traffic, and resulting in inefficiency. More importantly, I’m trying to learn in working with people with VERY different working style. I will survive…(I hope).
Seeing as to how disorganized is this blog entry, one should understand how disorganized my thoughts are. Off day now and I’m still creating a list (one that I’m not even sure if it will be used).
I went to Warake de Pasta at Marina Square last night. Had a rather unpleasant experience. Our orders were forgotten, twice! Food was just alright. Don’t think will be going back there any time soon.
Watched 881 with Mr Poto last night. It is basically a hokkien musical, where the actors sing out their feelings in hokkien. The dialouge in the beginning of the show was rather witty, especially if you understand hokkien. I saw a lot of good reviews about the show. However, I felt that the show failed to captivate me.
The costumes in the show were glamorous and stunning. The singing was great. It seems like Hokkien songs are songs that speak a tragic story. Perhaps I would have appreciated it better if I am into the ge-tais. Many things were not explained in the show too, such as why is Qi Yu Wu soooo into the chicken? How did the Papaya sisters got acquainted? Why is the mother sooo against her daughter singing Ge-tai? I felt that the show could have delivered more.
Hence, my rating goes:
Plot: 3.5/5
Acting: 3/5
Must-watch: 3/5
