Oh my God? That is all I can say... I hardly have the time to watch TV when I am back in Singapore, let alone watch Project Superstar. I only read about it in the newspapers. One of the finalists, Kelly Poon is a SIA crew... suddenly it dawned upon me that I worked with her on a Sydney flight back in Febuary.

What a surprise... I remembered her quite clearly coz I had dinner with her and she was the the one who introduced me to Fruche yoghurt. Also, I thought she resembled Ann Kok, a local actress. I just didn't realize that it was her til today.

It seems a lot of people dislike her coz they don't think she deserves to be in the finals and that she acts cute. I can't comment coz I have not watched a single episode of the show. All I know is, she is a very nice and sweet girl... didn't get any bad vibes from her or anything.

Anyway, it seems things are really looking up for her now. I wish her all the best!:)

Finally, finally and oh finally, I AM BACK! Wonder why this trip seemed so long this time round and I was only away for 7 days! Anyway, it's good to be home and the sight of my 2 furry friends greeting me at the door this morning, more than makes up for any of the fatigue I am feeling.:)

My mom 'accused' me of not being enthusiastic about moving to the condo unit where we are gonna be putting up for the next 4 months, while our house is being renovated.

Sigh... I guess she is disappointed after all the effort she has put in, I mean it really is a lot of hassle and stress afterall... It is not because I am not excited about it. I'm so freaking tired that it is very hard to show enthusiasm. Whatever it is, I told her I'd go with her to see the unit in the evening if it makes her happy.

I'll talk more about the trip, the next time I blog, and I'll try to put up some pictures my team gal and I took at Ocean Park, once she sends them to me:)

Later then.

I am torn. I'm excited as it is my first time to San Francisco, via Hong Kong, but at the same time, I can't bear to be away for nearly 8 days:( I will miss my darling especially... I only get to see him once a week if I'm lucky. I'm such a baby... but I will deal. I must really get a lap top very soon so I can still keep in touch with all my friends even when I'm overseas.

The roaming sms application rocks. I can msg all I want from overseas and the amount I have to pay for my phone bill is still pretty decent. It is a god-send.

On a brighter note, the SHOPPING!!! I'll be in heaven. I am not big on busting my entire allowance on a shopping trip. But San Francisco and Hong Kong! I'll do my best to limit the damage hehe:)

My heart feels a little heavy now at the thought of leaving and I do not really have the appetite to eat. Oh well, I'll be okay once I reach the airport.:)

I feel a little guilty that I have been neglecting some friends, I really have no time for myself, no time at all, but I'll have 3 days off when I am back. Jeannie, if you're reading this, I'll contact you when I am back. It has been quite awhile...

I should be packing now. I will miss everyone! *hugz*

It is uncanny how Nicky seems to understand every word that I say. Today, he was in my room, hanging out in the little 'cove' under my dressing table. I don't like him to be in my room coz his fur gets over everything and i'd be sneezing my head off in the middle of the night. So I said to him, "Why are you in my room?" He got up and walked out immediately.

Sometimes, my mom and I would talk to him and he'd be listening. When we sit down and have dinner and talk, he'd be eavesdropping. If he hears something he finds interesting, his face would perk up. I swear if he could talk, we'd be having proper conversations.

Definately, not your ordinary dog. Not by a long shot. We don't even need to groom him and his fur is always sleek and shining, with every hair in place. Now, I can't even wake up without my hair sticking out in funny directions. Heh.

Stuck at home with an eye infection. It was so bad I have to cancel all my appointments for today. My eyelid looks like that of a goldfish, all swollen and puffed up. Quite distressed over it, I hope I can work tomorrow.

At least I'll have a nice, quiet day to myself... Let me enjoy.

Today was weird, I was taking the train to town today when I saw a sight that I'd seen in documentries on monkey behavior. You know how monkeys like to groom one another... removing ticks and picking at each other's fur, combing out knots with their fingers and stuff? You get the picture...

So anyway, there was this couple which I was idly observing. The girlfriend was closely examining her boyfriend's head while he was msging away on his phone. Then she plucked out a stray white hair, and then another and placed them on his lap, quite oblivious to the stares they were getting. She looked like she was digging for gold. The boyfriend finished his msging and proceeded to pick up the few strands of hair that were on his lap and examined them in the sunlight.

What the fuck?

Is it just me, or is this the norm? I only know that it is the first time in all my 22 years witnessing something like that. I believe there is a time and place for everything. If people want to do things like plucking each other's hair or picking at each other's faces, shouldn't it be done in the privacy of their own home?

It is just taking public displays of affection to a grosser level. Eeeks...

I had a pleasant day with my babe, Nicole today. It was time well spent as usual:) Any time spent with any of my favourite people is worth it, no matter how tired I may be. We went to the gym, had dinner and went shopping:)

Oh I watched Land of the Dead yesterday. It was an improptu decision to catch a movie after flight. The movie is one of the worst I've ever seen. There is no freaking storyline and had a lot of loose ends that were left untied. It is just basically about zombies who gain an awareness about them and learn how to use weapons and they go around on a mass bingeing spree. It's just crap, damn it sucked so bad, I'm speechless. And it wasn't even my idea to watch it.

Off to bed now, I have a long day tomorrow. Goodnight!

Is it possible to feel over the moon and fucked up at the same time? well, that's exactly how I feel now... Fucked up coz of PMS, it sucks. My mood swings are unpredictable and terrible and I really can't help it. I almost turned purple in the face from all the effort to keep myself from lashing out at people. I went for a facial today. It took 2 hours and it was quite a torture for someone who can't keep her ass still. I kept fidgeting about. Oh and my face hurts too.:(

But then I am freaking happy at the same time. I now know where to get lovely gemstone jewellery in modern designs. I got a jade ring today, just a plain, simple band but of a high quality. I am gonna have fun seeing it slowly turn a darker green and developing a character all on its own. I was eyeing some other pieces as well but I controlled myself haha:) One at a time.

Today's the 14th and the day that my ex-b/f and I got back together, on the same date that we first started our relationship. Nearly 6 months have passed since it ended. Hopefully, it'll be stronger than ever...
I left the house feeling great and came home feeling like crap. I slipped up again... ARGH! i really cannot take anything with too much sodium coz it causes me to bloat and have serious water retention. I simply hate it! I realized sometime back, just how many things I cannot eat without it causing some sort of unwelcomed reaction or another. The worst culprits are anything with too much sodium and anything made from beans and wheat. My body cannot tolerate milk very well too. Great, coz that eliminates more than half of my favourite food.:(

Other than that, I had an excellent day:) Caught the movie Sin City, a show I have been meaning to watch for a long time. I did not really enjoy it... kept flinching and covering my ears at all the violent and disturbing scenes, which were aplenty. It is just too dark and gory for my taste.:( Lost my appetite for awhile, but not long enough to keep me from eating junk haha! Damn!

I have this sudden interest in jade now, I am gonna buy one of a good quality, that is modern and goes with everything I wear. Maybe, I'll get one set and made into a charm to hang on my charm bracelet. I will make the moonstone and beautiful quartz crystal I already have into charms as well, IF I can find them.

Oooh, had another one of those midnight running cum catching-up sessions with Huiling very early this morning. Yep! I know it's crazy but I'm loving it! It was great catching up with my babe... we're both so busy that we have not talked to each other in quite awhile.

I have been slacking up on my diet and workouts. Time to keep that in check if I want to knock off that few stubborn pounds. I gotta be in control of myself and my life. I want to. I am getting restless and I need a new hobby, something that allows me to keep fit at the same time. Preferbly, NOT water sports, ain't gonna let no jellyfish attack me again.

Restless on a lovely Saturday afternoon, but I feel damn good:) Gonna head down to town now. See ya!

I still love my job after all. It is a great feeling to have passengers come up to me at the end of the flight, saying that they enjoyed the inflight service and that Singapore Airlines is the best.:) Of course, some other people who have had not-so-pleasant experiences, would beg to differ. But on the whole, I would say the airline still manages to meet most customers' expectations. It makes the hardwork all worthwhile, knowing that it is appreciated.

As my team's Leading Steward aptly put it in mock broken Singlish, 'Singapore Airlines Lumber One!' (Number One) That guy is damn funny haha:)

I didn't get to visit any of the wildlife parks because no one wanted to go and it is dangerous for me to go alone. Really sad about it though.:( Ah well, since it's winter, most of the animals would be hibernating anyway. Some other time perhaps... I bought a hematite bracelet. It is a kind of iron ore with magnetic properties and it is believed to enhance focus, concentration, will-power, confidence, optimism, trust and stability. Hematite is a stone for the mind. It helps one to "sort-out" things in one's mind and can be used for mental attunement,memory enhancement, original thinking and technical knowledge. I also got a Golden Obsidian gemstone, believed to help increase self-control and aid in eliminating bad habits. I got it because it was the first one I picked up and liked out of an endless array of gems. It is a real beauty and I love it! Call me old-fashioned, but I do believe in the metaphysical properties of crystals.

It's good to come back to two furry faces greeting me at the door when I came back this morning. Nicky was being an ass as usual, barking his head off, but I believe he was just excited to see me.:) I think he is jealous of Miko's pink cardigan. When my mom puts on the cardigan for her at night, he would remove it when she's sleeping. It's just so adorable and silly at the same time.:) I am not going to post up her picture yet, too lazy to upload any as you can see from my ultra plain site heh;p All in due time...

I am so looking forward to my weekend, sometimes, the simplest things in life bring the greatest pleasure. Life is good:)

I hardly have the time to sit down and take a breather and settle in before I have to fly off again. I had a rude shock this morning. I kept thinking I have another day off when, in actual fact, I'm supposed to fly off tonight, just that my reporting time is after midnight. That means, I was cheated of an off day!!!:(

The only consolation I have is that I finally met up with Nicole, celebrated her birthday and spent a great day at km8 in Sentosa with her. Really, really miss her company even as I type this. A certain sweet darling of mine has been so so patient with me... I will miss him the most.

I'm going for my run... I hope I will feel better, then off to Johannesburg. My first time there, I wish I can bring my darling with me...

Monday, August 01, 2005

Miko had all her fur shaved off on Sunday. Gone is her exuberence and confidence. It is amusing to note how different a dog is without their fur hehe:) Every movement she makes is so tentative and unsure and she looks at us with really, really sad eyes. My mom and I bought her a pink t-shirt meant for babies so she won't feel too cold. It fitted her surprisingly well. Damn freaking funny hahaha:)

Nicky, in stark contrast, looks glorious with his fur neatly trimmed. So handsome. Poor Miko, at least she'll be getting more cuddles from me coz she won't make me sneeze anymore.

I'm fucking exhausted and tired to the bone. Can feel the onset of a sore throat and flu and I'm flying off to London tomorrow morning... Pray for me. Goodnight.
