Coming...soon!

Ok enjoy the rest of the afternoon - I've gotta run - got a plane to catch! hehe

Don't die of boredom...that wouldn't be good...yeah...it wouldn't - it'd make my whole plane trip worthless! :)

So, I'll see you soon - buh byes...for now!

Quote for today

"Memories are made from experiences. Some make your day, others change your life."

...

Interesting...and even more interesting considering it was in today's Financial Review of all places...fair enough it was advertising a hotel, but still!!

I wish...

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you

If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do

...

I wish for...too many things!

Keep dreaming...

Come fly with me, lets fly lets fly away
If you can use some exotic booze
Theres a bar in far Bombay
Come fly with me, we’ll fly we’ll fly away

Come fly with me, lets float down to Peru
In lama land theres a one man band
And he’ll toot his flute for you
Come fly with me, we’ll float down in the blue

Once I get you up there, where the air is rarefied
We’ll just glide, starry eyed
Once I get you up there, I’ll be holding you so near
You may here, angels cheer - because were together

Weather wise its such a lovely day
You just say the words and we’ll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
Its perfect, for a flying honeymoon - they say
Come fly with me, we’ll fly we’ll fly away

Frank Sinatra - Co...


I'm in holiday mode...holiday mood...need to fly away!

See you there!

This is totally awesome! I can't believe I'm back to being able to check hotmail from my computer! Thanks! hehe Was getting a bit carried away and remembered I said I’d blog so…I’m back!

Ok tonight – still Wala Wala at 8pm yeah?! I’ll be late but make use of happy hour and stock up on the drinks – I’ll catch up when I get there!

Tomorrow still going to Sentosa? Remember to bring the camera! Hmmm...I might need to catch a ride...?!

How excite-ment!

:)

Plop, plop, plop!

Raindrops keep falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling

So I just did me some talkin' to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleepin' on the job
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling

But theres one thing I know
The blues he sends to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red
Cryings not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'
Because I'm free
Nothings worrying me...

Smile :)

So ok, I know this is from Mary Poppins but still…its pretty cool and suitable for you!

...

In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun
You find the fun and snap, the jobs a game
And every task you undertake becomes a piece of cake
A lark! A spree! Its very clear to see…

...

Hope the re-programming is going well…shoot through it all and before you know it, it'll all be done! :)

And yes, when you're smiling, the whole world smiles with you!

Tough? What tough?!

How slack!! Who gets into work at 12 noon?! Not fair!

By the time you settle down its gonna be time for lunch, then you’ll get back and the day will be almost over!

And they say working in Singapore is tough! hehe

Random list

I started my random list for today, then J emailed and told me to read his blog, which I did, only to find that he had blogged a random list as well...hmpf...oh well...heres mine:

1) Couldn’t resist a raisin bun from Bread Top this morning – then I’m walking out of QV and see Mrs. Fields – gotta stop off for a raspberry muffin…get into work and I’m on my second cup of green tea – and not feeling great…again…this is not good…
2) S emailed to remind me about the Herringbone sale that starts today…gotta make a stop off after work!
3) Ds in sunny Queensland - and I wanna go…hmm…but is it worth it for 2 days? I mean it is, but it isn’t…but it IS!
4) Stove update: its out of action for the time being…as in we’re not using it, touching it or walking anywhere near it! I still can’t believe it “blew up” on me…twice – stupid thing!
5) Footy tipping has started again – hope I win something!
6) Last night I met someone I haven’t seen in like…10 years…that plus I discovered theres an “Oxley” crew in Citylife – how exciting!! Tonights gonna be a night of flipping through year books – and laughing!!
7) News travels sooo quickly...sometimes tooo quickly…
8) I’ve psyched myself up to clean my office desk today – theres stuff everywhere…files, paper, photos, toys, pens…and dust! Its just gross…I’m cleaning it today for sure…hmm…have to keep telling myself that or else I’ll just leave it - again…
9) Need to research phone plans…had a girls discussion about this last night…was told for the hundredth time that I’m getting ripped off – its just not cool anymore!
10) We’ve just loaded this instant chat thing onto the computers at work – its really cool…and yes, ok J I know you’ve had it for like forever, but we just got it and its so fun fun fun! Apart from the fact that its taking me ages to type this coz the window keeps popping up!
11) So should I join? Its a really really good deal and if everyone else joins, its totally gonna be the best fun ever – but on the flip side, theres no way I’m gonna travel half an hour to work out…its just too far!
12) LGs LGs…I’ve given myself 2 months…
13) I think I need another photo frame – sticking photos on walls just doesn’t cut it anymore!
14) Superman, I’m still so envious of your room…I need to re-decorate! Photos coming soon!
15) M, I still have 3 packets of those wipes from Singapore…dunno what else to use them for!
16) N – I re-read the email – its funny! No, I don’t need new jeans because they’re not “skinny” enough – I need new jeans because they’re too “faded!”
17) Bills, bills and bills…does it ever stop?
18) I’ve booked my hair cut and pedicure! Yeah!
19) V – I still can’t find my boarding gear – getting a little worried now…
20) Ads are powerful things – I love the new bonds one…”every morning I get dressed for work, iron my suit and shirt, brush my teeth…”
21) Satisfaction is finishing a book I started in 2005!

Hello?

Busy bee...

Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3...do you read me? Can you hear me?!

Just checking in...you still alive?! Hope work is treating you well - or as well as it possibly can!

Sickie

The next time I decide that stuffing my face at 2am with doritos, cashew nuts and Starburst lollies isn't that bad, please remind me of today...and the gross, bloated feeling and uncomfortableness I'm dealing with right this moment...

At least I'm at home! :)

So long, farewell...

Haha I know – shock horror – its 5:08 and I’m still at work! gasp

But not for long – I’m off…to meet the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz…no no…off to meet J! hehe

And yes – I’ll pass your “call me” message on! Thinking about how to phrase it properly! Don’t want another “but it sounded right in my head” incident! :)

Enjoy the rest of your day! And the movie tonight – gotta learn some moves okies?! Something other than the whole "1, 2, cha cha cha" thing...haha

Stand by me!

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me, oh stand,
Stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me, oh stand,
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me,
Oh stand by me, oh stand by, oh stand, stand by me

Darlin', darlin', stand by me, stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Ben E. King - Stan...


...

I got it, I got it! :)

Haven't heard this song in absolutely ages so had to "google" it! Now I'm in a "boppy" mood! hehe

Sigh of relief...

OMG I just finished the BIGGEST pile of work ever…me, myself and I are proud of me!! :)

I’m totally brain dead but totally relieved – deadline met! Woohoo!

Sigh…

I need a break – chocolate…chocolate is good! Chocolate it is! Chocolate makes the world go round! haha

How you doing over there?!

THANKYOU!

Hello and good morning!!

I’m still alive – no, the house (and me) weren’t blown up so I’m kinda relieved…

THANKS for calling! Was a wonderful surprise and much needed comfort in the midst of all the running around and trying to figure out what to do…really really appreciate it! Talk about timing! So chocolate and calls - seem to be the way to go!

Praying today will be blessed beyond imagination...

All's well that ends well

Yeah! I’m off! And you only have another 2 hours left as well – officially…unofficially, its another 6 yeah? Til 9pm?! Hehe

Oh well…at least you have stuff to “fix” – should keep you occupied! And and and…tomorrow you’ll come in and it’ll all be sorted! Hip hip hooray! “Superman” saves the day!

Focus and keep at it - the chocolate should keep you going for…half an hour?! After that, think you may on your own! :) If you need more "supplies," let me know!

All will work out well - you know it!

Things can only get better...

To the self-proclaimed “superman”

Sorry I’m only writing now – its been a totally hectic Monday...

Hope work on your side is looking better…don’t stress ok? It’ll all work out in the end…seriously.

Try to look on the bright side - at least if things are going wrong today, you can fix them and look forward to a fantastic Tuesday…hmm…thats probably not helping…maybe just look at the “flower” – hopefully it’ll cheer you up a little!

Honestly though, it really will be alright…head up…and smile :)

Blond moment!

K: (holding an ice-cream) Whats todays date?
L: 20-something of March…theres a calendar behind you…
K: (checks calendar) Its the 25th – do you think we can eat this?
L: Why? What does it say?
K: It says best before 25, 04, 07...
L: Yeah its fine...
K: Are you sure? Today is the 25th!
L: Yeah, but its the 25th of 03, not 04!

Friday's final post

You're almost there!! Weekend is...HERE - for me...ALMOST HERE - for you!

Have fun playing tennis tonight - yes, I got the call so I'm off to the city to party now!! woot woot! :)

Enjoy yourself...photos, I wanna see photos - of...anything?! haha

Ok I better go - ttyl!

Don't worry, be happy

Heres a little song I wrote,
You might want to sing it note for note,
Don't worry, be happy

In every life we have some trouble,
When you worry you make it double,
Don't worry, be happy

Don't worry, be happy

Ain't got no place to lay your head,
Somebody came and took your bed,
Don't worry, be happy

The landlord say your rent is late,
He may have to litagate,
Don't worry, be happy

I give you my phone number,
When you're worried, call me,
I make you happy

Don't worry, be happy

Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style,
Ain't got no gal to make you smile
But don't worry, be happy

Cos when you worry, your face will frown,
And that will bring everybody down,
So don't worry, be happy

Don't worry, be happy,
Don't worry, be happy now...

Happy.mp3

Sing-a-long Song!

Your “dancing mood” has kinda rubbed off and put me in a bit of a “karaoke mood” right now - how its related, I don’t know but yes, singing random one liners of songs and bopping away gets rid of the restlessness, hyperactivity and…boredom?! Haha



Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah
Zip-A-Dee-A

My oh my, what a wonderful day
Plenty of sunshine heading my way
Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah
Zip-A-Dee-A

Laughter Control

Hmm…how do you control your laughter - is it possible?

For example, when you read or hear something funny, but its not appropriate to laugh, is there any way of containing it? And the same thing goes with a smile – can you stop the ends of your mouth from turning up?

I wonder...

Golf rendition?!



Ok ok so the ar-tiste (gotta say it with the accent) in me struggles a bit - hmmm no, it just fully struggles!! So I'll help you out...a golf course, you putting away...3 birds in the sky, and those white things in the water are the 3 balls you hit there for me! hehe

Oh also, those things on your "legs" are supposed to be checkered pants! Hey, I tried ok?! :)

Happy Chappys

One way or another I'm gonna find ya
I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another I'm gonna win ya
I'm gonna getcha getcha getcha getcha
One way or another I'm gonna see ya
I'm gonna meetcha meetcha meetcha meetcha
One day, maybe next week
I'm gonna meetcha, I'm gonna meetcha, I'll meetcha

la la la!
...

Cheers to "going up to bigger and better things"
Johnnie Walker - keep walking! :)

:)

Giving you one last read before I head off into the unknown!

Have fun tonight...only 5 more hours to go! Just think happy thoughts - they'll get you through!

...

There are 2 cows in a field. One goes "mooooo" and the other goes "hey, I was going to say that!" hehe

Sherwin - Smile!

Dont be upset - cheer up! :)

I'll pray it doesn't rain too! And that you'll be able to go play golf with the "big bosses" and show them your stuff! That other people will wear "checkered pants"...that you'll have a ball (...or 2, or 3 - hmmm...or is it 18? Not too sure - something like that?! Dunno how the whole "golf thing" works!) haha

Anyway, I'll also pray you don't hit any into the water! Although it would be funny and definitely a story to tell! Hmmm...maybe I should pray that you hit 1, just 1, ball in - you can keep all the rest on dry land! :)

New beginnings...

Today has been a weird day - in more ways than one…

Guess I don’t really know what to feel…or think…

Kind of apprehensive about whats to come…trying to find my footing – gather my thoughts…



You hold my past, present and future in the palm of your hand – and I’m handing this over to you. Its time for new beginnings...

What a Wonderful World!

My mid-morning break consists of nutella, green tea and blogging…

Louis Armstrong is quietly playing in the background - love the “huskiness” of his voice…its so sexy! :)



I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"

I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world



Thought of today: So I’m thinking, its a choice - the way in which we view life. It depends on ourselves - our outlook, our perspective, our state of being…and I choose to think, “what a wonderful world!”

Pool and Pancakes

A night out on Chapel sees us visit Legends...








Followed by a stop-off at Chapellis for coffee. However, one look at the menu and I can't resist pancakes!



Fresh strawberries, coulis and 2 scoops of vanilla ice-cream...drool...



Sooooo good! Gotta go back!

Boys and their toys

Its 4am, pitch black and cold but the boys are still drawn to their toys...



After a thirty minute wait, Andy's new pride & joy, apple of his eye...and so on and so on and so on :)

Small boy in a big man's body...or big boy in a small man's body?!



Tristan's skewer! Remember: don't touch anything - its HOT!



From a "rib eye off the bone" to the "eye fillet," I ended up with a "well-done new-yorker!"



And the boys still think they're not in the photo...sigh...



T & T



OMG OMG check out the toilets...



They're UNISEX!!



After dinner its off to BLVD next door...

Post 6!

haha I'm blogging and you just messaged again!

Anyway I'm back: both back home and back online! So you should be able to read this before the day is out...

Ok joke for today and hopefully something for you think about: where do bees go to pee?

Post 5 of ?

As the working day of 21 March draws to a close, nice “L” decides to write a final post to “S”, all the way in S!

Hope the rest of your day goes “quickly” and that you have fun catching up with all your friends again tonight…eat heaps…umm…yeah pile on the weight – remember MUSCLE weight, not fat! Not that you’ll have a problem!

Hmm…I think by the time I get home you may still be at work so I’ll try post again! That’s if I don’t get caught up at country road for too long! We'll see!! :)

Post 4 of ?

Guess what?! I tried doing research on chocolate and the differences in fat content, calories and the like between dark, milk and white chocolate and guess what "google" told me?!

“White chocolate is not really chocolate!”

Hmmm...mind boggling - and it goes against all I've believed in for the past 20-something years!

Post 3 of ?

Keeping this one short and sweet:

Now you know how I feel when I get weird glances and stares after sitting here laughing to myself!!

For all my single friends...

Got an unexpected call from J last night - turned out to be a really great chat…about random stuff and relationships…

Just received a “follow up” email…

“…for the time being run after God...as one couple once said…“Run as hard as you can for God, and one day if you look over your shoulder and see someone right there with you, maybe you should get to know them better.” :) ”

Thats a new, interesting and really cool way of putting it!

Post 2 of ?

Hehehe (notice I've progressed from "hehe" to "hehehe") that was way cool!

And yes – now that I know you don’t get charged for incoming calls, I can call and bug you whenever I like…muahahaha!! I like I like :)

Anyway yes, no one has said anything yet – although its only a matter of time…thinking maybe I should blog other random stuff for my other “readers!” Just a thought…

Post 1 of ?

Hello S!

I’m suffering from MAJOR lack of sleep - why?! Coz I kept thinking about the “u dun” thing…and I STILL haven’t figured it out - I’m totally lost…and I can’t remember!

Then…I got up at 6:30am to get into the city by 8am to go shopping at Country Road – special VIP event, extra 20% off for today only! It was sooo crowded though - crowded as in it took me over 20 minutes to check out at the counter! And I had to leave in order to get to work not too late, but but but (in the words of you!) I didn’t finish looking at everything, so I’m going back at lunch…46 mins and counting! Hehe

Oh…how much longer are you at Citibank?

Tuesday, March 20, 2007

20 March: Post 5

Ok I’m off – almost…so heres my fifth and last post for today, 20 March 2007. Not bad huh?! :)

Hope you’re having fun at lunch now...”don’t eat too much…you’ll feel sleepy when you get back…”

Hmm…ok thats quite lame because by the time you read this you’ll be back in the office! Ok…so change of direction...”wake up wake up – lunch is over…back to work!” hehe

Hope you survive the next few hours…umm…have fun tonight...”swim, Sherwin, swim!”



I just got your message! Hehe good timing considering I‘m posting now…



Anyway back to it…WHAT THE?! OMG – SOOOOO NOT FAIR…ok I can’t emphasise this enough…You’re going ALL the way to INDO for golf?! NO WAY…I can’t believe it!! I wanna go! Not for golf though – just for the holiday! :)

soB sOB SOB!!

...

P.S. I STILL can't believe it!! And its had a good 5 minutes to sink in! :) hmpf...

Buh-byez...talk later!

20 March: Post 4

To the person who has yet to receive white chocolate and flowers,

It is not unfair that I get to go home and you’re only about to have lunch – I started 3 hours…ok…maybe 2 hours and 20 minutes, before you! :)

Plus - I'm not going home yet...still 55 minutes to go! hehe

Oh oh and you have octopus balls, chicken rice, ice-cream in bread and a million other things within your reach! Mmmm...drool...now thats unfair!

20 March: Post 3

Sherwin - HELP ME!

I'm surrounded by folders, faxes, files...anything and everything work-related!

Not good! This sux...I'm sitting here working and you're about to go to lunch...how unfair! :(

20 March: Post 2

OK, I'm going for lunch...its kinda cold though - and raining outside...brrr...not good - only consolation is that this will hopefully bring an absolutely fantastic boarding season! Hmmm...ok I know its only March but still...July is just around the corner! hehe

Hudsons is calling me...their hot white chocolate is my new replacement of the skinny chai latte - its the bomb - you should try it...actually, do you even have Hudsons over there?! On another note, even if you did, you'd probably want to get an ICED hot white chocolate...if that makes sense...ok...I better get going...thoughts starting to scatter...brain no longer functioning! :)

20 March: Post 1

Hello Sherwin!

Sending a bright and cheery good morning all the way to you! :)

Hope you get lots of work to complete today - at least it'll keep you occupied right?! Or not!! Will try to provide “reading” for the next few hours!

Hmmm…I’m starving…need food! Ok, thats my random comment for now!

Wheres the washing?!

Saturday afternoon I separate the dirty clothes in need of washing into 2 groups.

Group 1 is placed in the machine, ready to be washed and hung out on Sunday.

Group 2 is placed in the basket, ready to be washed and hung out after Group 1 has been done.



Sunday afternoon I come home and find Group 2 missing. Group 1 is still in the machine though so I start the load and go in search of Group 2. After walking around the house and seeing no sign of clothes, I ask Ben if he knows where they are.

He tells me “they’re out on the line”…

I think “cool, he emptied the washing machine of Group 1, washed Group 2, hung them out to dry, then put Group 1 back in ready for me to wash – weird but at least he did SOMETHING!”

I walk outside to check the clothes all pegged and blowing in the wind: "nice – not bad!”

I walk back inside and comment its strange that he would do the washing in such a weird order but if it works for him, I’m fine with it!

He stares at me blankly.

I realise somethings wrong.

OMG it clicks - he didn’t do the washing! He thought I had washed Group 2 the night before so he just hung them out in the morning! I start laughing. Kim starts laughing. Ben starts smiling…



Apparently whilst hanging the clothes outside, he commented to Kim that his t-shirt still smelled “sweaty”. Kim sniffed and put it down to the “washing detergent smell,” so they carried on…hanging DRY, dirty clothes onto the line!

Ewww…gross! But totally funny! :)
