Today I got a lovely quote in my e-mail, it goes like this:

Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the
arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad
company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink
in the moments that take your breath away.

Now, isn't that just meaningful?:)

Was really tickled by Nicky this morning... he had diarrhoea this morning. (Someone has been overfeeding him junk again...) Everywhere he sat, he left a patch of smeared shit on the floor. EWwwwWWw!!! Damn bloody gross! Guess who had to clean it up? Yours truly.

My mom gave me the unenviable task of hosing his ass with water. WAH LAU EH...:( Nicky knows he stinks, and he was running all over the place when I wanted to clean him up.

The moment my mom left the house. I looked at him in the eye and sternly told him, "Nicky. Wash backside. NOW."

He obediently walked into the shower cubicle on his own and waited for me. WAHAHAHHAHA! He secretly likes having his ass washed, was enjoying every second of it. Sheeesh... He hates to bathe though.

Miko was jealously waiting for him outside the toilet. She pounced on him and snarled the moment he stepped out and started howling like some mini she-wolf.

I don't get it man... Is that something to be jealous about? I guess my dog is weirder than I am.

Haha! Off to a martial arts class now. Hope I don't come back with a black eye.

Bye.

'Ji rou tao bing'. That's the oorrect way to say chicken pie in Mandarin. Oh well, I guess we all learn something new everyday eh?

Might as well, will be operating on a Beijing flight later tonight.

Received another piece of good news today.:) This time, something regarding my family. Gonna be vague about this because it's kinda personal. My close friends would know though...

Digressing now, been reading, writing and playing music a lot these days. It is all so therapeutic for the mind. Not so much of the hard drinking and partying these days. It is just not the best place to get to know people, and definately not gonna do wonders for my looks and health. Gonna get back into my fitness and healthy living mode.:) Halfway there, I actually like making healthier choices and eating junk in moderation.

Anyhoo, within the next few weeks, I have a shitload of things to buy. Most importantly a laptop and a new 3G mobile phone. I already know what I want. I have my sights set on the ASUS W5A and Sony Ericsson W900i. Then I'm gonna give it a totally cool new skin of the G Wrap kind.

Alrightie, off to practice piano. See ya all when I am back.

How the hell do you say 'chicken pie' in mandarin without sounding rude? The first thing that came to my mind was 'ji pie'. But I thought it sounded very wrong so I refrained from using it. I asked around but no one knew...surprise, surpise. Judy asked her colleague and apparently, 'ji pai' is correct. Huh?

An outspoken passenger told me to brush up on my Mandarin... What the... fuck?! Nabei lah! I was pissed of course, but then again, I was also amused haha:) Coz my Chinese does suck to a certain extent. I'm your classic 'potato'.

I served him the 'ji pai' in the end.

In a few minutes, I gotta get ready for flight.

*sigh*

Time to get back into the working momentum. It'll be alright. Absolutely need to get a lap top within this month.

See ya all!
It's back to work again... Destination: Sydney.

And from today on, I'll be out and about again, getting things done, going for lessons and meeting up with friends for long overdue catch-up sessions. The restless person in me can't help but look forward to it. But I'll miss those quiet times that were all my own.

Yesterday, I received another piece of spanking good news. This will bring me another step closer. I'm ecstatic! It will make a significant difference in my life, now it's just getting it done:)

Then again, there is the fucking gruelling task of getting leave approval or off days. Oh well, I'll work it out.

Lovely Saturday morning, and today I woke up with a small smile.

As the old adage goes, familiarity breeds contempt... there is so much truth to it. A person's idiosyncracies that may escape others, may seem more glaring to someone who is close. Happens all the time, doesn't it? Still, that should not stand in the way of true friendship.

But of course, there are some who are under the pretense of being your supporter, while secretly harbouring hopes of your failure, with a smile in their twisted hearts. People who seem to mean well may just be planning a silent sabotage.

It is a scary world out there sometimes. Maybe that's why I choose my friends wisely now.

It's that time again.

That explains the ravenous appetite which is so not funny...lol;p

Curiously enough, the mood swings were absent, so were the occasional feelings of lousiness and self-loathing that creep up, along with the usual symptoms. I just know that I feel rejuvenated and at peace with my soul and mind.

Actually, I've never felt better. Having all that time to myself did me a lot of good.

There's nothing quite like spending the time talking to my favourite people, allowing my thoughts to flow and take form and reading. Every now and then, I'd glance at the two furry forms lying on the floor near me. Their gentle snoring is an affirmation of the simple bliss they get, sleeping with the air-con blowing at them. Nicky and Miko know how to enjoy life. They make me smile.

I re-discovered the joy of playing the piano again. I lost my passion for the instrument for awhile, but it has since been re-ignited. I am glad, for its a skill I should never lose.

Live life and savour all the simple pleasures it has to offer. It mends the soul.

Goodnight:)

Anybody miss me? I'm back from Copenhagen.

Yesterday, I gobbled 5 pineapple tarts and 5 deep-fried beehive biscuits the moment I stepped into the house. WTF?!? I hate this shit, it's freaking damaging. There are still containers of leftover chinese new year goodies, all screaming at me to eat them. TMD!!!

Everything is good, very good in fact... because things are going my way when I least expect them to:) I'm so relieved, it's hard not to be in a jubilant mood!

I can only be thankful that I held out until I got exactly what I wanted, despite having to quell all my anxiety and fretting over that small issue for nearly a month. I was ready to give up but kept doggedly trying my luck without the initial enthusiasm. The unexpected reward came at the perfect time and it will serve its purpose for now.

Of course that is just the tip of the iceberg. Just one more small obstacle out of the way.

Spent a large part of my stay in Denmark, reading. I finally got the chance to read the book my friend gave me. I love it... it's almost like my personal bible with philosophical and religious connections. Very, very apt I must say.

I would like to share some of my favourite quotes in some of my future blog entries... Here's one for now:
"The warrior of light sometimes behaves like water, flowing around the obstacles he encounters."

Occasionally, resisting might mean being destroyed, and so he adapts to the circumstances. He accepts without complaint that the stones along the path hinder his way across the mountains.

Therein lies the strength of water: It cannot be shattered by a hammer or wounded by a knife. The strongest sword in the world cannot scar its surface.

The waters of a river adapt itself to whatever route proves possible, but the river never forgets its one objective: the sea. So fragile at its source, it gradually gathers the strength of other rivers it encounters.

After a certain point, its power is absolute.

Off to Copenhagen now, my hotel room will be my sanctury... too cold to go out. See ya guys...
At the moment, I feel like a pendulum, swinging from one mood to another and back. Have been eating like a bottomless pit as well. No thanks to the dreaded symptoms of 'that time of the month'.

I miss him...

Weird... I feel clingy towards my mom these days. I realized how little time I have been spending with her... But right now, I feel like I want to.

I hope she goes to church with me whenever I am around. It'll be great... No matter how strong I appear to be, I'm still mommy's little girl...

It is her birthday today and I can't even join her and my aunties for dinner... Gotta prepare for flight.:(

I love you mommy...
Today, I looked at myself in the mirror, first thing in the morning, and...

I didn't scream... Hahaha! Despite that horrifying binge fest over the weeks, I am not unhappy with what I see. But... there's lots of room for improvement.

Green tea and flaxseed oil capsules does the trick. Natural lean, mean fat-blasting substances.

I went for an afternoon run in the hot sun earlier on, the feeling of an energy high is out of this world:)

I'm in a good mood today, my life will turnaround from today onwards, I can't wait to see what is in store for me this year. I'm raring to go again, happier and more positive than ever.:) It feels good to be back!

Now, step by step, I will allow opportunities to happen and then I'll wait and see what's my next move. All in good time...

Off to Melbourne tonight, I'll miss everyone as usual... Take care.
