2 bak zhangs... almost

Thankfully not.. *cross fingers*

But the (probable) bak zhangs always make me end up treasuring my guardian angels even more.. Thank you =)

Tatty Teddy!!! =)

Something in my mail brought that wide grin onto my face once again. Another tatty teddy card! And 2 wrapped packages =)

Thank you so so so much, Mr Tay! Tatty Teddy cards for birthdays, encouragements, cheering ups. They're really so you, and they never fail to make me grin like some mad woman. =) Thanks for remembering my request for toy vehicles too! From now on, each time I do my langar files, I'll be reminded of you!! (Though it means I cannot do chain collisions involving more than 3 vehicles hor? *grinz*) And of course, I love the owl too!! Thank you, Mr Tay! Whatever will I do without you? =)

When a Heavenly King descends upon Plaza Sing..

Guess who I saw when I went to Plaza Sing to get something yesterday?

And nope, I'm not a fan of his. Just that my mum didn't believe I saw him at Plaza Sing. So what other better way than photos to prove that the real person was there?

Unfortunately though, my mum still thought those on stage were not real people.. Grrr

Happy 30th Birthday, Mr Chan!

Happy 30th birthday, dearest Mr Chan! I'm really glad to have met up with you today, even if I had to endure both of your suanings and the scary stories. In spite of your occasional annoying-ness, you'll always be a really dear friend to me. And that's why I'm glad to say once again, Happy 30th birthday, Gary!

To a dearest friend who needs some energy lately..

Frankly, I was both surprised and not surprised by your decision last night. Not surprised because it has been wearing you down more these days. Surprised because it felt as though we were both trudging on for the sake of it.

But you know what? I agree with what you said. Happiness vs material wealth (not that our pay's really that high in the first place). Things will gradually become more bearable as the end becomes in sight. Even if there are people who may make things difficult in the process.

Jia you, WL!!!

Happy birthday, Mr Lek!

Happy birthday, dearest! May every single one of your birthday wishes every year come true!

Did you grow a year older or did you grow up by a year?

A Today columnist pondered aloud in his column some time last week. Once again, another year has drawn to a close, what better time to look back and reflect on the year that had passed..

If there was something that I took along from 2010, it'll probably be the realisation that the best present I can give anyone important enough is really my time. Instead of spending a majority of time slaving away at work, 2010 was a year when I took leave more liberally, eg. zoo with Koon or simply lunch with my favourite Mr Tan.. And this, I have to thank another very important person in my life.. For letting me know first hand how devastating it is to watch you down, and the possibility that you would no longer be there to laugh with me, suan me, make mean remarks about me or to show concern to me. Yes, if there was one incident that left the deepest imprint, it would have been that particular 1+ week..

You would have thought that with the lesson learnt, I would have been more liberal with my time. Unfortunately though, there were still instances when I could have done a lot better. I could have dumped everything aside and bugged Mr Tan for lunch on his birthday itself instead of having a belated birthday celebration. Or spent more time with people who mattered.

In any event, a new year, a new beginning. And so, for this year, I resolve to:

(1) have more disposable time to spend with people who matter;
(2) Work harder (unfortunately I think my standard of work is no longer near to that when I was at GLC);
(3) Be healthier (ie. more exercise.. right Mr Lek?);
(4) Be happier.

So what's your resolution?
